Odds and Ends.

Spiritual Odds and Ends.

  Twice a day, I take the dog for a walk up the hill. It’s a little over a hundred feet in elevation through the forest, where you can look over the river, bridge, and the town below. All this started out as a way to use up Skillet’s energy (my dog), but it transformed into something of a prayer time. Often short but sometimes long, it's a deliberate time and place to stop in and have a few moments with the Lord.

  Sometimes, the presence of the Lord meets me; often, he does not, at least as far as I can tell. I say this because rain storms and the need to hurry before work have often captivated my attention more. But there has been times either going up, coming down, or on top when the spirit has whispered things.

  Sometimes, it’s literally tactics-related content concerning this Morningstar mess. Sometimes, it's the more mundane things like the garden and such or things to post. But sometimes… it is about things in nature that speak about him or other spiritual things.

  During today's cold rain squall, I decided to linger a bit longer on the top. I mean, it had not soaked through my coat yet, so there was no hurry. Wordless, I just hung out until I realized Skillet was hanging out some distance away in the brush, just waiting for me to say, “Come on, let's go home.”

  Turning, we walked a little way when the thought of how weak some believers are entered my thoughts. By their actions or lack thereof, they have allowed all sorts of stuff to impact their lives. Many can not comprehend any “bigger picture stuff.” Then I heard, “They are working by the faith that has been given.”

  So, I backpedaled my attitude, and I quickly understood that they were being faithful to the small amount of faith they had been given. As that settled in came this scripture, “…From everyone who has been given much, much will be required…” Luke 12:48

   And I thought, “So… it is your grace. That means more will be given when you know they can handle more.” At that point, the next scripture came in, “One person’s faith allows them to eat anything, but another, whose faith is weak, eats only vegetables.” Romans 12:2

  I worked my way down the hillside, hoping not to slip on the wet spots on the steep parts of the hillside as I considered many things. How many times have I been in groups where we all sat, a little aggravated at another Christian for being so “clueless.” Now I wonder, were they just being wilfully ignorant, or were they operating at a faith level we were looking down on? Tough call.

  About a week or so after publishing the post “Checkmate.” I was walking down the hill, thinking about nothing in particular, when the Spirit said, “11:57.” Then I quickly saw the image of a clock with the minute hand three minutes before the hour. In this flash of a moment, I realized a few things.

1. Even when a person is in Checkmate, there is often a few moves left before the game is officially finished.

2. Rick Joyner only has three moves left before the Lord ends this game. This is the narrow window of grace for Rick. This quickly made me ponder a report I heard from a good inside source who says that Rick may be in the early stages of Dementia. Repeating himself, totally forgetting stuff, belligerent, and paranoid.

Pressure is building; people are still talking.

  I have talked to a couple of people about this. Apparently, not everyone is being forced to sign this, but it is an active thing.

  I talked once to Ron Cantor after the Todd Bentley mess; he told me he had spoken with Rick Joyner. Apparently, his takeaway from that conversation is that this man is not very stable and should not be in ministry. On this, we agree.

  Right now, Ron Cantor is seriously working to help the victims of IHOP. But I suspect, at the right time, he might start turning his attention in Rick’s direction.

Rumors?

  There were many rumors when I worked at Morningstar. Some were silly, some were pointless, warranting no more than a grin or a shake of the head in passing.

  But then there were some that could not be disproven, and in some cases, bits of evidence have reached the surface. A case in point was a rumor that I considered to be silly at the time. A rumor that Rick had the building bugged. I heard this when I worked there, then again shortly after I left, and then about a week ago, a person I have not spoken with in years told me they saw the evidence of it.

  Then I remembered one time when I was working in my office. My desk was a mess (something that often happened when I was in a hurry), and I bumped the phone. It fell off the desk and hit the floor. I picked it back up and sat it back on my desk. After a moment, I realized I could hear voices. I was actually listening to people speaking in another office through the phone. I played with a couple of numbers and discovered I could then hear the MSU office.

  So, if what my contact said is true, and I have no reason not to believe him. Then how do I interpret the words “Every room?” Does that mean even the rented hotel rooms and the places people are living or only the rooms we worked out of? How paranoid were the senior leaders?

Other Stuff

  There have been other “little” spiritual stuff that has taken place. There was a significant Morningstar dream the other night that I can not share because it would identify people who might get targeted by leadership. In this dream was a person who I had not had contact with in years. Hours later, after the dream ended, I got a message from the East Coast about this person. The timing was amazing. Then, as further confirmation, that person became a paid subscriber.

Am I going to call them up or email this person? No, I have no wish to add pressure, and I try not to speak on unsecured lines.

  Through this dream and other things, the Holy Spirit has “nudged me” to let me know certain people back east have been watching. Some of these have been confirmed, as one of them actually sent me a message. I don’t think he liked my response back.

A Year Ago

A little over a year ago, when I only had four subscribers, I posted my first post where I dipped my toes into exposing all this muck. Yes, at that time, I kept some of the names back, like Joyner and others. But as most of you can tell, those days are over, and I am speaking far more bluntly now. There is some good, now historical information in the post “Humpty Dumpty” for anyone doing research. So I wanted to post a link back for anyone who is interested.

 

So why am I saying all this?

  People need to know that God is still active, especially in the project of cleaning the chaff out of his barns, just look at Daystar. I am not the only one; there are many voices and hands active in the Morningstar project. I will most likely never meet the vast majority of them, and that's okay.

  Personally, I have a backlog of projects (like the Legacy Continuum Series) that the Lord has put on hold. I really want to get back to them, but first, this project needs to be completed.

  Some victims have spoken to me, and I have directed them to either the attorney or various podcasts. In this area, my contributions have been small. There are people who are not speaking, people whose testimony would scare the parents who sent their students to CSCL if they knew. I also know of a story of a young man who was tossed against a wall by a leader in management and yelled at, and this leader is STILL employed by the ministry.

  So please, if you have a story to tell, then be brave and tell it. Yes, I can help you find a place to speak, but let's be honest, there are several people out there providing the same service. The doors are open; now is your time.

But if you are too hurt to speak right now, we understand, but please remember this.

Next week, “Whose Pattern Do You Follow?”
