Very good questions every 501c3 church needs to be asking themselves.

Re: PASTORS, what are you going to do?

Since preaching a few sermons through the week at a building is how many (not all) Pastors make a living a good amount of them will at least outwardly do what the system tells them.

Many of them despised the thought of "underground" or "house Churches" preaching against them and mocking them. Only last year Preachers were still ridiculing having Church on Facebook, Youtube, Zoom, Paltalk and such.

Now many have apparently seen the light.

What are you going to do in the next few years when the big building that you have spent hundreds of thousands, possibly millions on, is now going to be taxed to fund the beast that now is formed in DC? Of course they might give a pass to those who "work" with the new requirements.

Are you going to "work" with the system in order to protect your assets?

Are you willing to lose that big building in order to do what God wants you to do?

What about when that big salary goes away because you no longer are able to have the building to draw the big crowds? Are you going to bend at the knee to the rulers of facebook and zoom in order to keep the crowds? Even though you used to preach against TV and televangelists you find that in order now to keep the crowds that YOU must now turn to the same technology that you once condemned. Remember when Mark Hamby was kicked out of the Pentecostal crowd for preaching on TV? Now the very vehicle that kicked him out is doing the same thing that he wanted to do.

It is amazing how this thing is working out. Pastors and ministers who once stood for righteousness have now became youtube pastors. But what happens when God moves on you to preach something, you put it on youtube, and youtube removes it? Are you going to dilute your message to appease the new overlords? What are you going to do?

I believe that we are going to see lots of the big churches in Pentecost go away... unless they knuckle under to the system. This we have ALREADY seen with the recent vaccine requirements cropping up. "Do what they want you to do" are the cries of superintendents and religious leaders. Pastor, Evangelist, Minister... what are you going to do?

Are you prepared to go underground in order to do the work of the Lord?

Are you prepared to lose your building to do the work of the Lord?

Does the "Pride of Life" that comes with prestige prevent you from being ready to do the work of the Lord?

Are you ready to take a pay cut in order to do the work of the Lord?

I fear that with many in the Apostolic / Pentecostal ranks they have already declared what they are going to do. They are not ready for what is coming and will have trouble acclimating to the new norm.

Pastors, what are you going to do?
We are going to fight back, in their faces. We will fight for the abolishment of federal income tax so the "tax-exempt" threat becomes irrelevant. We are going to teach on the sovereignty of the states and the right of States to break off and form their own union, in spite of the outcome of the Civil War. No hunkering down. We go on the offensive as Christian Nationalists.

You mean Nationalist Christians.

If you aren't prepared to let God's Word be the law book, with government's only job being to enforce that law book, then you aren't ready for prime time.

The constitution is a golden calf that folks are going to have to let go of. The "no religious test for officials", the blanket undefined "free exercise of religion" and "freedom of the press" along with the interstate commerce clause and the necessary and proper clause are part of the reason America is currently an Orwellian hellscape.

We don't need any "legislators" whatsoever. We just need courts that apply God's Law to current situations, which is what God intended. Anything short of a non-compromising return to God's Word will be a failure from the start. But before that can happen there needs to be mass education of people on the Superiority of God's Word to human rebellion disguised as "ideology" and "political philosophy".

Step 1 would be for like minded Christians to unite on a local basis as networks of believers, withdrawing as much as possible from reliance on outside non Christian and non local resources, including courts etc.

These local networks then need to network with each other. Expanding resources to create a completely alternative and resilient society.

The Big Showdown between ClownWorld and God's Kingdom is inevitable, but we have to lay the foundation work first before it happens, so that we are operating from a position of strength and not weakness.

Everyone involved needs to identify what THEY can do LOCALLY. Trying to jump start a nation wide political movement isn't going anywhere, the groundwork has to be done first. This is a long game, multi generational. Soundbite patriots need not even bother.

Re: PASTORS, what are you going to do?

Abandon the church industrial complex with its reliance on tax exemption, Facebook and Utube.
Return to home schools and Bible based education. Abandon secular communist universities and learn trades and practical skills.

You don't even know what you're railing against.
