There's more that rises in the morning than the sun. And more that shines in the night than just the moon. It's more than just this fire here that keeps me warm. In a shelter that is larger than this room -Rich Mullins
With the rebellion and boycotts against various companies, people shifted their buying to online. Part of this was due to Covid 19 and part was due to convenience. As a result, various online sellers like Amazon became even bigger. So all we did with our boycott was strangle one thief to give to another.
The independent publishers, like us who were already struggling, saw things grow more dim. Effectively becoming an author or publisher means a second job to pay the bills as it has now become more of a “hobby” than a future income.
For the customer they see the price of the book, this price nowadays is high so they pull back, rightly so. And it is often assumed the author is raking in the money.
The System is rigged.
The truth is the system has become rigged and is full of spider webs. And authors today are working slave wages, pennies in fact. Let me show you a screenshot example from our Science Fiction book, Fading Starlight.
The last column is the amount the author gets paid every time a book is sold, as you can see it’s not much. Overseas sales are just as bad, and Canada is non-existent for authors.
The discount added is for the purpose of encouraging small bookstores, driving the compensation down even lower.
As an example, if you were a bookstore and bought 100 copies you would pay $1895.00 plus shipping. The author would see $149.00. So who do you think collected the remaining $1746.00?
Go direct.
The best way is to sell directly to the customer. Although the author is still not making much (due to printing costs) it is still far better than what you see before you. In fact, many authors if they plan ahead can offer the customer a price break if ordered in volume.
Some even send personalized notes, promo codes for the next buy, and so on. If you considering doing a large order then search out the author or publisher and email them before the order.
My wife’s grandfather was a retired preacher when he was alive. We would be somewheres, listening to someone when he would often lean to the side and whisper, “That preacher needs to put a Caboose on his train.”
After all these years I still think of his words and I have come to realize that one thing most preachers, teachers, and other public speaking Christian folk really need to do is learn to write and tell stories.
I have sat half awake more than once listening to fifteen-minute messages stretched like taffy into hour-long sermons. Recycling the same information over and over in an effort to appease the ticking clock has never seemed to be a wise tactic.
The most extreme word stretching I know contained less than five minutes of real information. The man speaking was a “pastor” who was really the vice president of a major east coast ministry. I felt sorry for the guy, he really did not have anything to give, but he had been roped into speaking at a conference.
Everything on his face told me that he had nothing and that he was just hoping to get through this awkward moment. With sweat coming down his face by the end, the worship team had finally clued in and started the music before the hour was up.
It really does seem like we are watching the march of clueless these days, pretending to have diamonds in their hands for the people. But in reality, they are offering them something far less. And that is too bad, for I suspect many could be offering something of value if they just were willing to learn.
I had to laugh.
One day I heard a story from a missionary who visited a rally in Lower Mexico. They had invited a speaker from Europe who needed a translator. The translator sat in a chair speaking into a microphone. After a couple of minutes, the translator just stopped and waited as the speaker continued. Aggravated the translator told everyone that the man was just pointlessly saying the same things over and over again, The Glory will come.” So the translator pulled out his Bible and told everyone that he was going to lead a bible study. And if this Gringo ever starts saying anything of value he would gladly stop and resume translating.
Today
Today was my day to get caught up. Working all week people send me videos of spiritual and physical things happening in the world. I don’t bother to look at them until I have the time unless a major event has taken place.
So this week I had three videos; a sermon, a world events update, and a report from a senior military leader, giving an inside look at Gaza that was sent to me from a shirt-tail relative who grew up in Israel.
One man said his sermon would only be 30 minutes but it became an hour plus. The world events were just as long and used computer-generated voices. And the military report was less than fifteen.
The sermon was good, but he really should have kept it at 30 as he kept adding filler. The world report could have been fifteen as they kept recycling the same information as the monotone computer voice spoke over and over.
And the military report was perfect. Condensed, filled with what you really needed with no fluff. All in all, a professional delivered a professional report. In this report, he delivered the information in the classic parts of the story. Because of this, you knew you had something of value as you listened.
Serving
Have you ever been to a restaurant where the wait staff had no idea how to serve? They get paid to show up, dress nice, and smile at the customers but they really have no idea how to get the job done.
Any message or report needs to have the issues clearly stated. Make the person listening or reading understand the growing problems and give them a course of action. If delivering messages in any form is something you do, and you wondering how to make things better then keep reading and consider what I say next.
Mad Libs
Man Libs is a fun, interactive book of silliness for you or a group. Once to have imputed all your required questions a very silly story forms. I would suggest playing this and then taking one of the best ones and expanding it. (click on the dog to get a copy)
Challenge yourself and expand your story to no less than ten thousand words. Doing this a few times should start your creative engine God placed within you. And once you have done these exercises off on on for a few months I am willing to bet your ability to tie a caboose onto your train will get easier and easier.
Now Mad Libs is only one of many tools you can try. Got a poem you really like? Form a back story for it and keep writing. How about a show you saw that you always wondered what happened to the people after the story was done, write it.
Want to stick with strictly biblical stories, good, take a person who was only mentioned once or twice and use that.
Either way, you can grow, you can do better. And just perhaps the people before you will fall asleep a little less.
Continuing to watch for evidence of Terry’s Red Horse.
As I am not totally convinced either way, it’s still good to watch and evaluate the evidence as it comes in.
Invasion would be the best word for right now. As our own southern border is being invaded at record numbers, Southern Europe is facing numbers as great or greater. Italy, Germany, and Greece as losing control as waves upon waves of Muslim Africans are arriving. Destroying, burning, killing, and raping, all the while the governments are doing very little.
Add to this the large numbers of military overthrowing their local governments in Africa and other nations. And now of course we have Israel.
Israel, 50 years to the day of the 1973 war is back at war again. This new Yom Kippur war has Hamas (Iran) destroying Gaza. Moving from house to house every Jew is being executed. Their bodies now adorn trucks and walls as “trophies of war.”
Hezbollah is marching south out of Lebanon attacking from the north with the same intent as Hamas. Now add to this the Taliban out of Afghanistan is requesting the right to fly over Iran airspace so that they may land troops on Israeli land. This of course will be done with all the equipment Biden left behind. There are now also rumors of Turkey getting ready to enter the war as well as the Saudis.
If the Taliban enter the war, this will be a major turning point in darkness. Equipped with some of the most advanced American military equipment and backed by Chinese money and satellite intelligence ( yes, the Taliban and China signed an agreement) this next conflict has the potential to become very Biblical.
Any person with a semi-normal childhood is aware of the story of Humpty Dumpty.
“Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall.
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king’s horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put Humpty together again.” ~ Lewis Carroll 1882
In our rush to pay attention to anything and everything political, very few in the Body of Christ have been watching the signs of disaster within the Body. However what I am about to say is not good because it does reflect a Humpty Dumpty attitude. There is however, I believe something good that will come out of this.
The two main reasons for what is happening are:
1. The environment we all live in now. Everything thing is at high speed, changing, and altering faster than more can comprehend. As a result, our minds go into “safety mode” and kick out anything not deemed vital to our daily life.
2. The dark forces of this world are working overtime to keep believers in the dark. Otherwise, if we paid close attention we would be growing increasingly concerned at what we are now seeing.
Darkness
Presently if you paying attention you will notice just how much hidden filth is in the world. Seriously dark revelations are now surfacing, so vile it makes some of the hardest people flinch at the sound of such evil. I am not going to bother to list all that is happening, because if you reading this you are most likely aware of at least some of it. I do wish that what we see now is out now was all there is, and that we would be done with it, but that’s not going to happen.
There is a greater darkness coming, but this greater darkness will force many who sit on the fence to make a choice. This choice will result in the light getting brighter. What I mean by this is the people of God who chose to live according to the words of Jesus will be standing out more and more. This will drive some people away, but others will draw closer.
There is a truth few in the Body are paying attention to. “The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.” 1 Cor 15:16 This simple little statement from the Apostle Paul is packed with a spiritual law. That is, things happen in the Physical world first and then the Spiritual.
Everything that you are seeing being brought out into the light to day, means that there will be a Spiritual equivalent taking place in the Body at some point in the future. This means all the people, systems, and movements within the Body that have been pretending, will be getting exposed just like we are seeing in the news with the Bidens, Bushs, Epsteins, the Royal Family, and many many more.
What I am speaking about are the “wolves in sheep clothing” Matt 7:15. Now I am not saying that all the people and things I am including in this article fit into this category, but what I am saying is that the Body needs to wake up. Because for every real wolf in the body, it would be fair to assume there are a hundred deceived followers who are floating along, clueless on spiritual sleeping pills.
Evangelical / Charismatic back history
Some time back, over a five-year period of time, several of the top elders of the Evangelical / Charismatic world died. Names like Jackson, Jones, Cain, Clement & Graham all passed from the scene, and in doing so a quality of eldership slipped away. Directly (and quickly) on the heels of this came the Todd Bentley fiasco, a true mess that should never have happened. This Bi-sexual, manipulative leader was finally exposed, leaving a trail of victims across the world.
During the months that followed the first revelation, many other leaders in the Baptist, Methodist, and other movements were exposed from Michigan to Florida. This spiritual wave started in the south began dislodging darkness in remote places, victims started getting brave, and various leaders in spiritual positions became uneasy.
A tribunal of spiritual leaders was called to deal with Todd, And people were asked to deliver written and spoken testimonies if they knew anything. I, like many others, was personally asked, as a result, I wrote out my understanding of that I knew.
From this came an interesting bit of information from the sources I was connected to… The Tribunal was aware of a lot of names of other people, and leaders connected to this that should also be disciplined and removed, but many were well protected!
Now for the purpose of not ending up in a lawsuit, I won’t be giving names as some of them have a reputation for tossing lawsuits around. But if you want to know, I will say just look over the history of who all Todd has ministered with and do your own research.
Today
Although much of this has died down, or should I say was ignored under the wave of other news like covid 19 around the world, this spiritual wave of exposure has continued. Sometimes growing in strength, other times looking calm.
Earlier this year a spiritual revival broke out in Kentucky called the Ashbury Revival. This revival has been claimed to be student-led, however, this is bad wordage. The reality is, that it was started and continued by the Holy Spirit, it was in effect completely sovereign. Many big names attempted to gain access to speak before the crowds, all were told NO. Todd Bentley even announced on Facebook that he was invited to speak. When Ashbury was asked about it the response back was, “Who is Todd Bentley?”
Many other names went anyway to Ashbury, to find that they had to wait in line just like anyone else. And when they got in they never made it to the stage, so they took selfies in the back to prove to their followers that they were at the revival. In effect, human notoriety was shunned, and the only person invited was Jesus. Jesus planned this moment in time, but man did not.
Where are the Elders?
Later on, by chance, I had an email conversation with a more trusted, well-known senior prophetic man in the south. In the conversation, he said the following, “I do not agree with those that went to visit with the pope and I certainly do not believe that we are too consolidate with the political agenda of the Catholic Church.” Honestly, at that point, I was not sure who he was referring to until a prophetic friend was given a dream. This dream sent him down a research path and he sent me the results.
In September the Pope held a World Youth Day in Lisbon Portugal. He invited many of the top Evangelical leaders to attend. Here is a small sampling of the names who visited the Pope and joined in the Catholic World Youth Day. Although not every one of them fully attended, many at least showed their support Bill Johnson, Mike Bickle, Lou Engle, Joel Osteen, Kenneth Copeland, James Robison, John Arnott, and many more.
2 Corinthians 6:14
“Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?” The Protestant faith historically came about as a sovereign rejection of Catholic abuse, manipulation, and distortion of Scripture resulting in preaching another gospel {Galatians 1:9}. As a result, many lives were lost in the quest to have our own scriptures. Also in this quest our for-fathers soon realized two very important facts. The Catholic way was demonic and not of God and when the Catholics could not get you to compromise they would kill you.
Now if this statement sounds harsh, that means you are unaware of our broken and shattered past. Researchers have put a VERY conservative estimate on the protestant death toll in Europe, and the Western world at about 50 million dead. However, they admit two things concerning the research. 1. The numbers could be as high as 150 million. 2. They were unable to collect numbers for South America and other continents. Even at 50 million, this puts the Popes right in line with notorious names like Hitler and Stalin.
Many of the well-known protestant missionaries of the past that I have read knew full well the danger of allowing Catholic missionaries into the area. A good example would be the Whitman massacre of the 19th century that unleashed Indian War after Indian War. So why are the modern leaders fellowshipping with darkness? Good question.
The answer I feel lies in the fact that they are now seeking to bring revival along by their means and in so doing put a “stamp of approval” on their ministries. In effect, this would be a human revival dressed up, scheduled, preplanned pre-packaged, and bankrolled by the Vatican. Also, I would once again refer you to do your own research on who Mr. Bentley has ministered with. { Ecclesiastes 1:15 }
Here is a simple fact, every true revival was not authored by man but by God.
So what else has been crumbling?
Much of the things that have been built up for the Body in the last few decades are now showing stress fractures. “This expression, “Yet once more,” denotes the removing of those things which can be shaken, as of created things, so that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.” Hebrews 12:27
There is a new and better Kingdom coming, but to embrace it you need to let go of everything else. Is it truly possible to hold two hands in one your hand? You are either going to hold Jesus’s hand or someone else. And Jesus is a jealous god, he will not tolerate co-leadership with any other god.
Sometime back I saw an interview with the leader of the Christian band, “Jars of Clay.” In this interview, he stated that he knew that once he let the world know his position concerning LGBQ the band would lose it all. He also made it very clear that many other well-known Christian singers are gay and feel the same way.
This month Kaitlyn McCracken of the Ashbury Collegian laid out some strong facts in her article. As a result, I soon learned that the bands ReliantK and Switchfoot could be added to Jars of Clay.
Good news?
The good news is as I have already hinted, a better kingdom is coming. Yes, some of these people are deliberately being the wolves. But not everyone, as Kaitlyn McCracken said in her article, “Instead, it seems to be calling out the state of the church in 2023 – a political dumpster fire where God is more of a reflection of ourselves than we are of him.” Many people are just rebelling against the broken church system, and in the rebellion, they are falling into the devil’s traps.
But these are the future wounded warriors who will learn from the mistakes of their past, and Jesus will be ready to use them once purified.
Ashbury was a pre-shadow of things to come. And once the youth has been consecrated, the pretenders are going to be looking for shadows and rocks to hide under for Jesus will suffer no from Humpty Dumpty.
Months ago I was having an email conversation with a well-known prophetic man in Alabama. He has spoken at many conferences and was a close friend of the late Bob Jones. He made a comment at the time I did not fully understand. He said, “I do not agree with the actions of the evangelical leaders who recently visited the Pope.”
I was unaware of the event he was speaking about, so I waited because I knew if the Lord wanted me to know the information would eventually find its way to me. Then a prophetic friend in Ohio, Ian Winslow had some dreams that caused him to do some research.
Within this research was a list of names of evangelical pastors who were summoned to the Vatican to meet with the Pope. Many well-known names like Johnson, Engle, and Bickle were in attendance. And then suddenly I realized why the man from Alabama was no longer getting invited to speak at major conferences. He was standing against the tide, he was standing for truth.
In principle Ecumenism within the Brotherhood of Christ is not a bad thing, ecumenism how ever that seeks to embrace, and draw in historical evil pretending to be brothers is a bad thing. That is evidence of a lack of discernment, that the gate keepers are not doing their job. As I wrote about in my book, My Father’s House. We need to measure all things according to their fruit. It’s biblical and it’s commanded by our Messiah.
At last count, and by conservative estimates the Catholic cult has exterminated around 50 million Protestant lives in history. Some researchers put the number far higher at 80 million, putting them on equal standing with Stalin and Hitler. And many of the early Christian communities considered them to be a false gospel.
The Body of Christ is called to be a pure spotless bride. Can we do that while mixing the Gospel with other lesser teachings? Do you think this is acceptable before the Father?
A few months ago we had a solid revival take place in Kentucky called the Ashbury Revival. It lasted many days with some truly interesting testimonies. But one of the interesting aspects of this event was the fact that many well-known names attempted to gain access so that they could preach before the people. Ashbury said, “NO.” And it felt to me to be a very good thing.
From what I can tell, this rebuke had an effect. Because it was not that long ago they had their own revival. Well planned out and at the invitation of the Pope, they all gathered in Lisbon Portugal for “The Catholic World Youth Day.” Millions came to this planned event and many evangelical leaders gladly flocked to the Pope’s call. Numerous evangelical celebrities put out video after video supporting this move.
But was the Holy Spirit working in this place? Well, that’s a good question, that one will be hard to measure as we know that there are many spirits who have gone out into the world, and some of those really like to pretend to be the Holy Spirit.
We are now in the Age of Deception, it is thick and it’s sticky like black tar. Pay close attention to who is getting invited to speak, and who is not. It is all about money, power, and influence, not a sound mind and Hope in Christ.
Our other site (Breadstone) is undergoing changes due to local ministry needs and the slow down of sales. These are details that have been outlined in last months issue of BCM as well as our final issue next month.
How this effects Earth & Sky.
Much of the writing I was doing on Earth & Sky dried up to be placed on the BCM magazine when it started. As a result you will now see some of that change as some of it will come back to here. And some of it will go to my new Substack account as it gets cross linked to Earth & Sky.
Also there will be links to new product as they come out.
If you would like to know more and you were not a subscriber to our magazine, don’t worry. I will be posting a download link to the last issue for free once it ready.
Until then enjoy the post I just place on our Substack account called “Glory.” Just click on the picture below.
So the following comments in this post are closely connected to some of my earlier posts concerning Whatcom County Washington. So if you want to know more just go up to the upper right and type in the phrase, “Whatcom County Prophetic.”
Whatcom County is the county I was raised in, it not the place I was born, nor does it hold any place in my heart. I do have respect for it, as many important things took place in that land, not only for me but for many others as well.
Whatcom means. The place of many bubbling voices – a tribal translation of the name. Its had many deceivers, and outpouring of God easily dating back to the 1950s. But still strong principalities of complacency and deception control the land, the people and the churches. And yes this is something I saw in a vision many decades ago.
I told people for years that they needed to get out. Two families listened and stayed out, two went back and one almost almost got out. A handful never moved and I think most people just tuned me out after a while.
But now things are entering a different phase, things will get more intense. People will cry, people will morn, some will scrape out of the county by the skin of their teeth and others…well they will literally become part of the land they loved and rise no more. Too bad they did not love God more, because thats what happens when you make your culture or the land your god.
Harsh words I know, but at this point people are out of time and they NEED a slap in the face to wake up. Now of course this message applies to more than just Whatcom. In reality the whole area from lower main land of British Columbia past Olympia is connected spiritually and as a result the same fate awaits millions.
You thought it was bad when they legalized pot, gay marriage and such. Then you endured the non-stop insanity your governments laid on you in the name of public health. And yet… very few of you have listened. You felt you needed to rally together, support each other to let the government know how you feel…how woke of you, do you feel like sheep yet? Do you realize that our forefathers went to war against the King of England for far less than you have put up with? Do you realize it could be argued that you dishonor their memory by your complacency.
You do not even know your own history. You have been raised and lived under that demonic spirit of complacency for so long now, you even teach its language to others. This is one of the reasons I left and went and lived in far more free states, even my wife who is third generation in Whatcom can no longer stand the lukewarmness now that she has tasted freedom.
Brothers and Sisters in Christ, your leaders are blind and some even secretly serve the government. Did you know that? Can you spot them? They regurgitate the same meal over and over for the flock, do you not get it? Are you not sick of it yet?
And those leaders that are awake, who were forced to do drastic steps to get free, even to the point of leaving their own sleeping families behind. And now you look down your noses on them for such ‘despicable’ behavior. Have you not read, “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who has found his life will lose it, and he who has lost his life for My sake will find it.” Matthew 10:37-39
Things have gotten darker, far darker. But your love of your pseudo christian culture and the land has kept your eyes dark and you see so little now. “I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may become rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself, and that the shame of your nakedness will not be revealed; and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.” Rev 3:18.
Are you aware that British Columbia has now legalized all the hard drugs. Do you foolishly think all this will stop at the Peace Arch crossing in Blaine, Lynden or Sumas? Are you aware that the Holy Spirit is saying that your region will be given over to foreign troops who will be based in Canada? In some ways it would be better for some of you to be a Jew in 1939 Germany than to be in Whatcom, the darkness is near.
It’s time to get up, knock the dust off your feet and your sleepy eyes. Nothing you have around you is worth your life. But you say, “I must sell my place first!”
I just got a real estate market report for Whatcom. The picture looks a bit bleak. New listings, contacts, and sold houses are falling, as much as 41% in a month. The days on the market and the average price is going up. This mean the pool is shrinking and what is there is taking longer, and you just don’t have the time.
But you say, “it’s not that bad.” Yes it is, you have just been living in the Matrix and your believing what you have been told, what you have been programed to say. Tell me, when the you see the Space needle laying on its side and counties fencing off large tracts of land “for YOUR safety.” Will you still tell me it’s not that bad. Or maybe you will still be saying this when you run out of fingers and toes trying to count the dead on your way to work!
Have I slapped you in the face hard enough yet? I hope so, and if your angry with me…well then I am fine with it. And I hope you live for many years with it in view of the other option.
Note; for the record I still believe in Charismatic Christianity. I believe it holds the greatest possibilities for Kingdom advancement. However it also holds the greatest possibility for deception and destruction in the Body. You just can’t toss the baby out with the bath water because you don’t want to change the diaper.
A friend of mine said it best, “now that the first seal has been opened, we are officially in the age of deception.” And oh my goodness that deception is a full on raging beast.
I have been asked several times, “What do you think of Robin Bullock?” Honestly I don’t know, all I know is that EVERY TIME someone send me a video to watch, the video fails to load. So… I have never seen the man other than in a photo.
But today a message was sent my way, a message that came from Mario Murillo ministries. (Link to the message inclosed in the bottom) In this message a guy by the name of Timothy Dixon gave a message while on stage with Robin.
No I am not going to go through the whole message, Mario does a good job of this so just read his message. But I am going to address the end.
Mr Dixon message essentially was that Robin Bullock was John the Baptist back from the dead. Oh my…Charismatic Christian Crazy Town just jumped to whole new level of bazaar. But what I found even more interesting was the un-ending amount of comments under the message. Seriously it takes a long time too scroll to find the bottom of the page. And so many christians comments from people who seem to be living off of pixy dust are all upset that Mario called a “man-of-god” out on this…”how dare he!
Either these people are ignoring their basic christian education they should have got as a new christian. Or… their pastors were to busily doing something other than their duty and failed to equip the flock for the day ahead.
Hebrews 9:27-28 make it very clear, “…it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment… ” In other words, there is no reset, no do-overs, no reincarnation after King Herod cut John’s head off. John’s day is done, and he now sits at his appointed place in Eternity.
The real problem is that we now have “believers” who (to say this rather harsh & bluntly) can’t tell the difference between a light build and a Godly anointing. These people are not biblically qualified to judge, and should not be allowed positions of leadership in the body. This generation is in danger of…well a lot.
“To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
“‘We played the pipe for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ Matthew 11:16-17
