Afraid to Bark

The “silence of the lambs” has placed our nation in the position we find ourselves in today. The American Church, the voice of the Lion of the tribe of Judah, has developed laryngitis at the time when America most needed to hear it roar. Everything you see happening today is being done with the approval of the local church.

Prove me wrong.

The prophet Isaiah tells us that HIS WATCHMEN are AFRAID TO BARK. Isaiah 56. Has there ever been a more cowardly group of Christian ministers in the pulpits of America than there are today? The American Revolution was led by a spunky group of New Englanders known as the BLACK-ROBED REGIMENT. Read more about them HERE.

French historian Alexis de Tocqueville is reported to have said: “ I sought for the greatness and genius of America in her democratic Congress and her matchless Constitution, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.”

The American pulpit has let us down. Let history record that the American pulpit stood mutedly by, afraid to bark, as the enemies of Christ plundered what Christian men had built. The Gospel of Tolerance and Prosperity has turned the Lion into a lamb.

It is interesting to note that the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ was referenced as BOTH a LION and a LAMB in the Holy Writ. But how can that be? He is the LION of the Tribe of Judah and He is the LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world.

Jesus, through His Church, is both the DEFENDER and the SACRIFICE. What a dichotomy.

I often run into people who complacently say “Jesus didn’t get involved in politics.” Their ignorance astounds me. Jesus lost His life by engaging in the politics of His day.

Permit me to explain.

The Roman magistrate Pontius Pilate is credited with sentencing Jesus to death, and that is true. But Pilate only did so at the request of the RELIGIOUS leaders. The Pharisees and the Sadducees were the POLITICAL rulers of the Jews. When Jesus challenged their POLITICAL power, declaring Himself KING OF THE JEWS, He entered the political realm. The religious honchos didn’t like that.

Jesus was not a Roman. He was a Jew. The religious leaders took him to Pilate because only Pilate could sentence Him to death. The Jewish leaders were mad because Christ was usurping THEIR power by declaring Himself KING of the Jews. He challenged THEIR authority. THEY were the POLITICAL leaders of the JEWISH nation and they were enraged that Jesus was attempting to usurp it. You know, sort of a First Century insurrection against the POLITICAL leaders of the Jewish Nation.

But, Pilate smelled a trap. He knew he had no authority over Jesus or the Jewish people. They had their own government that co-existed with Caesar’s government.

“TAKE HIM TO CAESAR” the “political” Jews screamed! “We have no law to put a man to death!” The “Church” bowed their knee to secular government and requested that “Caesar” do the Sanhedrin’s dirty work.

Oh, Jesus was involved with politics all right. It cost Him His life. Jesus Christ, the sacrificial LION KING!!

So, you say, Coach Dave, what does that have to do with us today? Everything. In Matthew 28 Jesus made it VERY clear HIS FOLLOWERS were to GOVERN the earth. Today we label it the Great Commission - GO, and the Great Commandment - TEACH. Go and teach - that is what Jesus told His followers to do. Is that what we are doing today, my Christian friends?

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.”

Somewhere along the road, the American Christian Church ran into the ditch. Pastors no longer teach OCCUPY and FIGHT, but SUBMIT and OBEY. The Luciferian-controlled government has usurped all the power given by Christ to HIS DISCIPLES. Us. Me and you. Right here. Right now. Today! Christ is ruling and reigning over all the earth TODAY.

Why doesn’t the church act like it?

Was Jesus lying to us? Did He not have all power? Did He falsely delegate power that He didn’t have to His Body? Are we not supposed to OCCUPY the gates of authority until He comes? How are we going to “teach all nations” when He is not permitted in our schools? Instead, we pay the Devil’s workers to teach “doctrines of demons” in our “Government” schools. Are we “earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the Saints?”

I could go on, but I have said enough. Christ is the CONQUERING KING, not the conquered King. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords RIGHT NOW. There is no such thing as a SECULAR nation. Jesus is LORD whether we acknowledge it or not.

How about YOUR Pastor? Does He know how to bark? Why don’t you ask Him? It is time to flush him out.

Satan’s kids are mutilating children. Murdering the pre-born. Promoting same-sex anal sex. Locking up Christian men without a trial. Publicly blaspheming Christ’s finished work on the cross. With hardly a peep from the pulpit.

There are churches on every corner, yet the Central Figure of Western Civilization - the Man by which ALL TIME is measured, BC/AD, Jesus Christ - gets less respect than Taylor Swift.

No Bark, just Baaa - what a pathetic bunch we Christians have become.
