OSA Orlando Report – Rusty Thomas

Rusty put together this report of just a few of the wonderful things God did as we allowed the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets of Orland this summer.  The gates of hell did not prevail, nor will they ever, as the powerful church of Jesus Christ continues to storm the gates.  What an absolute joy to join our Lord’s gentle warriors in Orlando and witness what God is doing through them.  Our God is an awesome God!  He is, by the way, the only One there is.  And His Name has been specifically revealed to us as Jesus.

Enjoy!    ~ Flip

Dear Champion of the Lord and the Preborn,

OSA’s Orlando Report

“You shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand you still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; tomorrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you” (2 Chronicles 20:17).

This was the Scripture verse Flip and I chose to lead us into Orlando for this year’s OSA national event. Little did we realize how significant it would become. Historically, this passage of Scripture records a time when Israel was threatened by three pagan armies who conspired to destroy their nation. King Jehoshaphat, rightly concerned about this national threat, sought the Lord and proclaimed a fast. All of Judah gathered together to seek deliverance.

The armies facing God’s people back then were Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir. Interestingly enough, the dangers facing America are also three-fold. The exposed areas Satan is using to destroy us are child-sacrifice (the shedding of innocent blood), the homosexual agenda, and Islam. The first two abominations are the idolatrous roots, while Islam is the dangerous fruit. The left in America has been quite successful in garnering for themselves the most favored business status, abortion, the most favored class, homosexuals, and the most favored religion, Islam. According to brother Flip, their favorites, however, are nothing more than “three different colored gloves (red, pink, and black) that contain the fist of the Devil.”

Each year as we prepare to enter a city for our national event, we also recognize the need to fast and pray. The enemies of the cross are growing bolder. They are filled with fury towards anything holy, righteous, or lawful. God haters on every front seek to eradicate the influence of Christianity in order to keep their most favored bloody, perverse, and deceptive status. This year in Orlando was no different. We set aside three days to fast and pray as we sought the Lord to rescue our nation from the battle within and without. Our prayers, I’m here to report, were gloriously heard from on high and in ways we could not imagine.

Casey Anthony’s Court Trial

“And judgment is turned away backward, and justice stands afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yes, truth fails; and he that departs from evil makes himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment” (Isaiah 59:14, 15).

When we chose Orlando, affairs were set in motion years ago that we had no earthly idea would come to pass during our national event in Orlando. Specifically, there were two court trials whose scheduling corresponded with our visitation. The first we became aware of was the tragic case of Casey Anthony and her murdered daughter Caylee. This particular case in Orlando started three years ago. Ironically, she was found “not guilty” and released on the same day we scheduled our Solemn Assembly.

Caylee and Esther’s Memorial Service at the Orange County Jail

 The following is Flip’s account of this providential timing:

God gave us an incredible platform to connect the dots between what Cayce Anthony did to her little Caylee Marie and what mothers are doing to their children in the womb via abortion. Cayce just waited two and a half years longer to get rid of Caylee (Late-Term Abortion) than the mothers who have aborted their children. All of the eyes of the world were on the Orange County Jail as Cayce Anthony was about to be released. National and international media were everywhere. The stage was set.

Early Sunday morning, we conducted a funeral service at the Orange County Jail for little baby Esther, a child aborted by her mother and father. We then held an open casket viewing of this precious little baby girl. Though all the media was there with their huge satellite trucks, no one came. No one cared. No one wanted to see.

The Bible tells us that God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that shall he also reap. We are reaping a horrible harvest of violence in America today, as blood is coursing down the corridors of our schools, workplaces, and streets. If we sow bloodshed in the womb, we will reap bloodshed in the streets. To stop violence in the streets, we must first stop bloodshed in the womb.

The world did not want to see nor did it want to hear God’s message to America. But it was proclaimed from the rooftops, nevertheless.

The media was too busy treating the symptoms of America’s injustice to report the root cause. The abortion culture has spawned incredible devastation upon the American family. It has turned formerly concerned parents into predators who prey upon their own children in order to obtain a better life. This was proudly displayed by Casey Anthony’s “Bella Vida” (the good life) tattoo. She sported this tattoo after Caylee was missing.

Millions of abortion-minded women display the same cavalier attitude when it comes to their own offspring. Children must be disposed of in order to continue the party life unhindered by parental responsibility. This is nothing less than the “all about me and I pity the fool who seeks to awake me from my deceptive selfishness” syndrome that leads to the murder of children. Flip commenting on this tragedy stated:

Justice has failed, but judgment remains!

God’s judgment for Casey Anthony began the moment she “chose” her right to “Bella Vida” (the good life) which eclipsed little Caylee Marie’s right to any life at all. There is a law of spiritual gravity that is as absolute as the law of gravity on this earth. It applies to all people, at all places, at all times. You may disagree with it, but that does not change its absolute effect upon you.

Yes, a final judgment remains for Casey Anthony but her judgment has already begun. It is a spiritual gravity as certain and as objectively true as the physical law of gravity. “A man tormented by the guilt of murder will become a fugitive until death; let no one support him.” Proverbs 28:17. That which Casey thought was going to set her free to do whatever she wanted to do, has already become a ball and chain around her neck dragging her into the depths of despair, despond, and depression. There won’t be enough Margaritas to assuage her guilty conscience, not enough lines of cocaine she can snort, not enough relationships with other men, not enough hours on a psychiatrist’s couch, not enough money, not enough education, not enough fame, not enough Zoloft or Prozac, to make her pain go away.

The way she thought would set her free, has made her a fugitive, a slave until death. God has given us Casey Anthony to bring us into a full blown realization of what happens when a mother aborts (kills) her own child. The courts of this world may say it is legal or give one a “Not Guilty” verdict, but in God’s court the judgment has already begun. (Editor’s note: Flip and I tried to visit Casey and minister the Gospel to her in the hopes she would recognize her wretched state, repent and find the salvation of God.)

Many were outraged by this verdict, but why should they be? Roe vs. Wade trained an entire generation with a demonic view towards life, babies, and family. The message is clear, if you cannot handle the responsibility of your actions then kill it. Now, we are upset that people are living out the lessons learned by this unjust ruling. Injustice begets more injustice. Except this time, it is spilling out of the womb in the light of day rather than hidden in American death camps that dot the landscape of our beleaguered nation.

God is going back to Church Campaign

“Stand in the gate of the LORD’s house, and proclaim there this word, and say, hear the word of the LORD, all you of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the LORD…If you oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever” (Jeremiah 7:2, 6, 7).

 After the memorial service to honor Caylee, Esther, and all the other Caylees and Esthers killed in America, we went to the gate of the Lord’s house. One team went to an apostate “church,” the First Unitarian Church of Orlando. This was the “church” who hosted all the pro-aborts of the National Organization of Women assigned to protect the altars of Moloch from the “domestic terrorists” and the “Christian Taliban.” The NOW gang put out a national call to protect their “sacred temples” and all they could muster was a pitiful collection of aging feminists, which amounted to about 5 or 6.

Another team went to a large seeker-friendly evangelical church called, Northland. Pastor Joel Hunter, a spiritual counselor to President Obama, is the senior pastor. We set up signs, praise and worship, and passed out a flyer called, Sing a Little Louder. We came to them with a Macedonian Call, “come help us,” and to remind them of their responsibility to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death and to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves (Proverbs 24:11, 12; 31:8, 9).

Solemn Assembly

“And why behold you the mote that is in your brother’s eye, but consider not the beam that is in your own eye? Or how will you say to your brother, Let me pull out the mote out of your eye; and, behold, a beam is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of your own eye; and then shall you see clearly to cast out the mote out of your brother’s eye” (Matthew 7:3-5).

That evening we conducted our Solemn Assembly. This provided us the opportunity to point the finger in the right direction and set the proper spiritual tone for the rest of the week. The following is the prayer topics we covered. Our holy desire was to meet the righteous conditions set forth in God’s word and trust that the Lord would hear from heaven, forgive or sins, and bring healing to our land (2 Chronicles 7:14).

1) The doctrine of bloodguiltiness by Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

Scripture Reference: Psalm 106:38, “They even sacrificed their sons and daughters to demons, and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and daughters whom they sacrificed to the idols of Caanan; and the land was polluted with the blood.”

Prayer Thought: Leading the Church in repentance for her past failures of not actively opposing the shedding of innocent blood and to rescue those unjustly sentenced to death.

2) The compromise, indifference, and apathy of the Church by Pastor Victor Morgan

Scripture Reference: Proverbs 25:26, “A righteous man who falters before the wicked is like a murky spring and a polluted well.” See also Lam. 4:12, 13.

 Prayer Thought: The wicked cannot rise in power unless they first pass through the sins and compromise of the Church. A Church that has veered from or compromised the truth of God’s Word always empowers a tyrannical government and a wicked culture. God forgive us!

3) The failure of men by Doc Johnson

Scripture Reference: Psalm 78:9-11, “The men of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle. They did not keep the covenant of God; they refused to walk in His law, and forgot His works, and his wonders that He had shown them.”

Prayer Thought: The failure of men to fight the battle against the prevailing spirit of lust (videos, magazines, internet, etc.) that rages from within and steals our moral authority to lead courageously in our homes, churches, and communities.

4) The fear of man and a man-pleasing spirit by Ante Pavkovic

Scripture Reference: John 12:43, “For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” See also Galatians 1:10.

Prayer Thought: We have become more concerned about offending men and keeping our reputations than our fear of offending God.

5) Return to God’s Law which is the standard that is binding upon all men, at all times, and in every nation by Cal Zastrow

Scripture Reference: Hosea 4:6, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being priest for Me; Because you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.”

Prayer Thought: We are called to build our nation and its institutions upon the righteous foundations of His eternal law lest we be overtaken by wicked ideologies and our children fall prey to a profane and depraved culture.

6) The squandering of our costly, godly heritage by Rev. R.C. Sproul Jr.

Scripture Reference: Psalm 88:12, “Shall Your wonders be known in the dark? And Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?” See also Isaiah 51:1, 2.

Prayer Thought: We have disdained our godly forefathers by forfeiting their costly legacy and defrauded our children by wasting their righteous inheritance.

Weekly Street Activities

“And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled” (Luke 14:23).

Starting Monday morning, July 18, we organized several teams and sent them out to the highways and byways of Orlando. We had five teams cover the five death camps from Monday to Saturday morning. We had a sign team that covered major intersections throughout the city as well. There was a display team that set up at the University of Central Florida who passed out literature and engaged the students. They also set up the display in front of city hall in downtown Orlando for our special memorial service for baby Esther. Moreover, we sent out a special team that leafleted abortionists’ residences, offices, and other key locations. Needless to say, Orlando could not escape the charge God has against us for killing His babies (Hosea 4:1, 2).

Each night at our rallies, powerful messages and testimonies of divine appointments and open effectual doors of ministry were shared. Testimonies of souls surrendering their lives to Christ and families rescued at abortion mills glorified God. It was a time of refreshing and rejoicing in the presence of the Lord.

The other mission performed by OSA this year in Orlando was the Personhood petition drive to protect Florida babies in the womb by love and by law. To sweeten the deal, there were first place, second place, and third place prizes for those who gathered the most signatures. For the youngest person with the most signatures, the prize was to smash brother Flip with a pie at our Friday night rally. This honor went to little Gracia Campana. Many rejoiced as brother Flip received his just “deserts.” Altogether, OSA saints collected about one thousand signatures for the week.

The Second Court Trial

“Behold, the righteous shall be recompensed in the earth: much more the wicked and the sinner” (Proverbs 11:31).

The kingpin of the abortion industry in Central Florida is James Pendergraft. He is the one who gave the awful boast, “If the Church would stop frequenting my clinics, I’d be out of business.” Sad statement, but is it true? I suspect there is a basis to this wicked taunt. Regardless, unbeknownst to Flip and I, there was a case against him that started ten years ago. It just so happened to commence on Tuesday, July 19 at the Orlando County Circuit Court during our national event. Imagine the shock, when this notorious abortionist looked behind him in the court room and saw Flip Benham, Chet Gallagher, and me staring at him. He went over to his lawyer and complained, “The antis (Anti-abortion) are here.” His lawyer replied, “There is nothing I can do about it.”

That was not only true concerning us, but the lawyer was also hapless to help deliver Pendergraft from a civil lawsuit that plundered his abortion empire. Pendergraft was hit with 18 million in the civil suit itself and another 18 million in punitive damages, totaling over 36 million dollars.

During the trial we saw the latter part of our theme Scripture verse fulfilled in 2 Chronicles 20:17. All parties involved in this tragedy, Pendergraft, abortionist Randall Whitney, and the staff at the abortion mill scrambled to distance themselves from responsibility for failing to kill the child. She survived and as a result, they began to throw each other under the bus. This is exactly what happened to the pagan armies who threatened Israel. They eventually turned and devoured each other as Israel stood and saw the salvation of their Lord.

Special Venues

Brother Flip preparing the way to honor baby Esther

I will conclude this report with three special venues that took place on Friday, July 22. In the morning, we gathered at city hall to conduct our memorial service for baby Esther. As we pulled up to the area, the sights and sounds took our breath away. The pro-life display was fully set up and the praise and worship of God resounded off the downtown buildings. The presence of God energized the atmosphere. The sun was rising and its rays shined upon a church steeple mounted with a cross. We were literally standing in the shadow of the cross.

The stage was set to memorialize little baby Esther. Some young men acting as pallbearers carried the casket containing Esther. Others bore flags and were led by our bagpipe player, Nathan, who performed Amazing Grace. They escorted baby Esther to the table set up in the midst of city hall. A few men and women spoke passionately, lovingly, and firmly against the culture of death, which was responsible for Esther’s death.

“Thou dead, Esther still speaks” was the theme message (Hebrews 11:4). She has volumes to communicate to a nation staggering under the weight of bloodguiltiness and our divine purpose was to give her voice. After the speeches, folks filed by and placed flowers upon her casket, begging forgiveness for what we did and did not do for her and the nameless sons and daughters of America consumed by America’s bloodlust (Matthew 25:40, 45). May God have mercy and somehow end this holocaust without ending our nation.

Mosque

Preaching at Mosque

“And Elijah came to all the people, and said, how long halt you between two opinions? If the LORD be God, follow him: but if Baal, then follow him” (1 Kings 18:21).

Friday afternoon, OSA Christian men experienced an old fashion Mt. Carmel showdown. We visited the largest Mosque in Orlando. This particular Mosque had been investigated for supporting the terrorist group, Hamas. Apparently to repair their image, they put together a deceptive sign campaign. Signs like, “Did you know that over 1,500,000,000 Muslims believe in Jesus?” “Truly, this nation of yours is one nation, and I am the Lord, so worship me -God (Qur’an 21:92),” “Jews, Christians and Muslims, same God- shared beliefs…let’s talk,” and, “There is only one God. Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad are messengers of God.” There were other signs as well, but you get the gist of their misleading strategy.

Our purpose was to set the record straight and dismiss the deceptive propaganda put forth by this Mosque. After dismantling and refuting their lying claims, we preached the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ and His Kingdom. It created no small stir. Cameras were running while a loud speaker with a siren blasting tried in vain to silence the truth and love of Christ.

Our message, however, was clear, “The Jesus you speak of is not the Jesus of the Bible. He is another Jesus. You are led by a different spirit and you follow a different gospel that is no gospel at all. Allah cannot save you. Muhammad cannot save you. Religion and good works cannot save you. Only the Jesus of the Bible can save you. Only God in the flesh, crucified and resurrected, can redeem your soul from hell.”

Abortionist Randall Whitney Visits our Church Service

“When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance” (Mark 2:17).

In all the years of fighting the battle against the culture of death, never did we witness a practicing abortionist visit one of our church services. That dry spell ended in Orlando at this year’s national event. Flip commenting on this incredible visit stated:

Note this well. I have been privileged to share the Gospel of Christ with Randall Whitney on more than one occasion. He attended our last Rally session on Friday night, though most of you were unaware of his presence. He came as a guest of Mark Hall who has been sharing Christ with Randall for many years. Rusty preached that night and I know that God spoke to Randall’s heart. Please keep Randall Whitney and his wife in your prayers. Pray that God will save Him, through our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ!

After the service, Jo Scott followed Mr. Whitney in the parking lot to witness to him. This is her account:

I asked him what he thought of the service, he responded, “It was powerful.” “Do you believe that Jesus died for your sins?” I asked. He said that he didn’t believe that anyone could die for anyone else’s sins. He said that he believes in a god, but a god that is only love. I explained to him if his god loves the rapist and the raped there is no love, just chaos. Jesus loves intensely and he hates those who come against what he loves. I explained that He is always ready to forgive but he is also just and holy. Ps. 5:5, 7:11

Whitney believes in evolution so I asked him about his conscience. I explained, “In order for something to evolve it must have at least a cell, the conscience does not.” He agreed. Then I explained that God wrote the law on our hearts and that knowledge has no cell, or atomic weight. No scientist in the world can explain how all people everywhere innately know the difference between right and wrong. Then I explained to him that God gave him a conscience because that’s where God goes to talk to us. I looked him in the eyes and said with conviction, “That is why the first time you killed a child in his mother’s womb, you knew it was wrong.” It was one of the few points I made with the 77 year old abortionist that he did not have an answer for, he just let it go.

He told me that the Bible says nothing about the child in the womb. I quoted Exodus 21:22, “If men strive, and hurt a woman with child, so that her fruit depart from her, and yet no mischief follows: he shall be surely punished, according as the woman’s husband will lay upon him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. And if any mischief follow, then thou shalt give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burning for burning, wound for wound, stripe for stripe.”

He seemed a little shocked at that, but quickly regained his composure and with a superior attitude and asked, “You believe in a god like that?” I answered you bet I do. He asked me if I’ve been watching what’s going on in the world. He said that the new democratic rule was leading the world to peace. He was very excited about it. I explained that salvation will not come from legislation. It’s a free gift and it comes from Jesus.

When talking about his abortion practice he said that he believes that he is truly helping women. He says he, “Really loves women.” And that he KNOWS that he is helping them. He refuses to listen to anything to the contrary. Our conversation went on for twenty minutes and what is interesting to me is he sees himself as a messiah of sorts, helping women in these tough times. But at the same time reality has smacked him upside the head lately. He slapped a woman in his office recently and he was arrested for it. He was called to testify at Scott Pendergaft’s trial this past week and he was probably the key witness to sink his colleague.

Abortionist Whitney is not “Board Certified” in seven critical fields and, while abortionist Pendergraft was in prison, he was left in charge of Orlando Women’s Clinic when a woman seeking a late term abortion received an exceedingly high doses of Cytotec (exceeding the standard dosage 50 times).  No nurses or doctors were present at the time, only medical assistants.  She complained that they would not give her anything for pain and then left the office, went to a hospital and delivered a child severely damaged by the botched abortion. Finally, he recently had surgery to insert a pacemaker. His whole image of himself may be shaken and this may be an opportunity to shine the light of Jesus through the cracks in his facade.

Stephen Mashburn – Man of God

Dear Friends,

I was asked for more details regarding Steve Mashburn’s life; so I contacted Judi and Christopher Fleet who were his loving caregivers for years.

Judi met Steve in her late teens when he began attending her church. Christopher met him in about 1984 through Steve’s street ministry. He began working part-time as Steve’s caregiver immediately. Christopher and Judi had a blind date in this same time frame. For the next 27 years, Christopher took care of Steve part-time and/or full-time. The last four years of that, the Fleets moved in with Steve and took care of him 24/7.

Here is Judi’s response to my request for information. ~ Brenda Spurlock

 

 Hi Brenda. Sorry if this is too lengthy 🙂

Past to present, Steve was in and out of a boy’s detention center, so when a Boy Scout camp opened up to wayward sons for the week, he chose that over a family reunion. He was diving off a low diving board when a boy pushed out from the side at the same time and Steve landed on his shoulder blade. His 5th and 6th vertebrae were broken. Steve said he was only paralyzed on half of his body, but someone picked him up who didn’t know what he was doing and Steve heard another pop, making him paralyzed on the other side. Steve was 15 years old. He almost lost his life several times, and even said a sinner’s prayer during the next 10 years; but when my departed sister, Kathy, who was ministering room to room, got to know Steve, his life started to turn around. (He wore cowboy boots in bed! He did that to keep his feet straight.) Kathy would ask Steve to come to church and he would always say no. Then Kathy asked him one night what he was doing. Steve said, “Nothing,” and she said, “Good, I’ll be over in a minute to pick you up for church.” Steve rededicated his life to the Lord and over the next 30 years he was able to minister to tens of thousands of people.

Steve preached on the streets. In fact, he was ordained a minister about 25 years ago, with an emphasis on street ministry. He would go into the downtown area of Wichita, sit in his wheelchair on a corner with a speaker, a small powerful amp and a mic that would reach ears a half mile away with the gospel. He preached in places like the Mardi Gras and the Indi 500! He especially liked going down to the “pit” at the Indi where most people wouldn’t venture. The bikers, other pretty tough characters, and regular crime activity would keep sane people away; but Steve wasn’t scared. His workers had to be pretty courageous to go in with him.

He got involved in the Summer of Mercy in Wichita and eventually took over a Godarchy telephone line from Brian Brown, where he would minister the love of Jesus and current pro-life events. He was extremely honored when OSA had him operate their website. During his life he had bricks thrown at him that swerved away from him, guns shot at him that wouldn’t go off, men come at him to beat him and kill him who were taken out by bigger guys (drunk, big bikers), and countless threats to his life; but he stayed true to Jesus. 3 1/2 years ago Steve got pneumonia. It kept him in the hospital for three months. He ended up getting the trach and vent at that time, as well as the g-tube. He could eat some, but he mostly took canned food and his meds by the g-tube. He still had enough use of his arms that, with a little help from his workers, he could use a track ball and a stick in his mouth to work a computer. Steve used to be able to type 35 words a minute!

Through the next years, Steve had some strokes that left him paralyzed completely from the neck down. He also got arthritis in his neck so he could not type with a stick, or work the computer. This caused him to become depressed. He was so busy before, that the last year had a lot of ups and downs, many downs.

The week before Steve passed; he told a sister that heaven was going to be wonderful. He got so sick that he had a non-stop seizure, so I felt I had to call an ambulance, even though he had told me he wanted to die at home. Doctors told us he was septic and even with the strongest antibiotics he wasn’t getting better. Steve wanted to go without his vent on, so we invited friends to come say goodbye, knowing he wouldn’t make it long without the trach. He actually lived three hours and we worshipped the Lord for the three hours before his heart stopped. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord, so he is so happy now.

I know this is more than you wanted to know, Brenda, but I wanted to kinda review his life here on my cell as Christopher is driving the car. I had some extra time. There may be typing errors that you may want to fix before you forward this on. It’s a little tedious to fix since I am on my little cell. God bless you, Brenda.

Love, Judi

The Gospel Brought to Another Abortionist’s Home!

Abortionist Scott Spagnola-Hye lives in a gated community called “The Plantation at Leesburg.”   This “plantation” home-owner rangs among those who owned and abused salves on their plantations just prior to the Civil War.  Abortionists kill more black Americans than violent crimes, heart disease and aids.  Everyday in America more black babies are killed by abortion than the KKK killed in its entire existence. Today this plantation owner wears a lab coat and a stethoscope around his neck.   He still lives at the top of the food chain and he continues to believe that he has the power over life and death.

Hye was reminded today, July 20, 2011, that Jesus is the source of all the power in the universe and that one day he will stand before Him at the judgment seat.  Operation Save America’s Neighborhood Alert Team leafleted his neighbors homes with flyers imploring them to adopt the abortionist in prayer while the Truth Team held signs on highway 27 outside the complex.

Imagine what it will be like for Scott Hye on judgment day if he doesn’t repent, and trust in Christ as his Lord.  When he is called before the Lord there will a sea of people accusing him of murder!  It’s a terrifying thought!  Please keep abortionist Scott Spagnola-Hye in prayer.  He needed and still needs to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ and this week, we were honored to bring it to him.

Remembering Caylee and 50+ Million like Her

The media was quick to point a finger of accusation at Cayce Anthony for killing her three year old daughter, Caylee.   However when Rev. Flip Benham and gentle Christians arrived at the jail Sunday morning to connect the dots from Caylee’s murder to the murder of 50 million unborn children in the womb, the hypocrisy of that same media was stunning.   At least 2 dozen satellite dish trucks were present in the parking lot of the jail and not one reporter bothered to ask a question about the correlation between Caylee’s death and the 50+ million children that have been murdered in America since 1973. It’s easy to blame Cayce for the horrendous crime she committed; it’s politically correct to be outraged at a woman that has killed her three year old child.

With righteous indignation the media published all of the disgusting details of how Caylee’s body looked when she was found.  But they would not give one minute of media time to the four thousand children murdered in this country every day. Maybe it’s because they would have had to turn the finger of accusation towards themselves and the rest of the country, but they are not willing to do that.

On the grass just off the sidewalk outside the jail, OSA assembled in a circle holding posters of aborted children and little Caylee Anthony.  Rev. Benham told the solemn observers, “When there is bloodshed in the womb, it follows that there will be bloodshed in the streets.  And that is exactly what we see in precious Caylee’s case.”

A shofar pierced the silence and a procession of young men carried Baby Choice, (a child murdered by abortion) into the center of the circle, placed her on the table set for her, and opened the casket. Deep sadness gripped the mourners as they paid their respects to Baby Choice and little Caylee.

July 18, 2011 – Unitarian Universalist Outreach

Jo Scott

 

While Ron Brock’s truth truck circled, dozens of Christians proclaimed the gospel  outside the the Unitarian Universalist Church in Orlando, FL. About a dozen Christians attended the Unitarian church’s religious education class this morning.  It began with the instructor recognizing Rick Simpson as a Christian because he had a Bible in his hand.  He told Rick, I hate people like you,” but allowed him to remain in the class.  An audio recording of a women speaking on “Move to Amend”, an initiative which addresses the question of whether or not a corporation is a person was played for the class.  It was hard to make heads or tails out of it.  I found it interesting that they know that a corporation in not a person but they do not understand that a baby is a person.  They made it very clear to me that the reason they were being picketed was because they are pro – choice and support Planned Parenthood.

I did learn that Van Jones, the former Obama appointee who was asked to step down for his past relationships with radical leftist groups, is a well respected thinker and often a speaker at the Unitarian Churches throughout the United States.  When asked what creed they based their doctrine on, the instructor would not answer.

Any time that a question of any substance was asked one of the women would interrupt the instructor and instruct him to stay on topic.  God was not mentioned in the class.

 

The church service was even more confusing.  The worship was very ambiguous.  They were told to “worship and learn to make a difference”.  They believed that their main goal on earth is to “connect, appreciate, and celebrate every person.” The minister then called the OSA participants “Haters and Bullies” to a hardy round of cheers and applause.

 

After the service when asked who or what the Spirit of Love is, the minister answered, “Yes.”  When asked who or what they worshipped she again answered, “Yes”.  She explained that everyone in the Unitarian Church believes in whatever they want to believe in.  One Christian asked, “If everyone can believe whatever they want to believe, however they feel like believing, what cements the church into a whole.  Shehad no answer.  However, she assured us that they were cohesive. Judging from what I saw this morning I’d say that the glue that holds them together is their common hate for God.  They seemed to revel in their sin, call it holy and rejoice in condemning those who call Jesus God.

 

It was a difficult morning for those experiencing this type of church for the first time.  Tears flowed over the lost souls attending the Unitarian Universalist Church in Orlando this morning.

July 17, 2011 – Reaching Abortionist Scott Pendergraft with the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Scott Pendergraft lives in a beautiful home located on a, long, lazy,winding road with a well shaded sitting area directly across from his driveway.  It provided a perfect staging area for us to live out the gospel in the streets.  As we congregated, we were able to expose the heinous pictures of aborted children on our signs for the community to view.  As we proclaimed the truth about abortion and about the gospel, neighbors of Mr. Pendergraft  stopped by and spoke with us.

Our intent in visiting Dr. Pentagraft’s neighborhood was to bring the gospel of Jesus Christ to Mr. Pendergaft’s doorstep.  Upon knocking at the door, hoping to talk to the abortionist,  Dr. Sangeeta Pati answered and claimed that Mr. Pendergraft no longer lived at that address.  Sangeeta and abortionist Pendergraft have a long time relationship.

That was news to her neighbors who shared with Pam and Rick Simpson that he does live at that address.  They said that some days he parks blocks away and rides his motorcycle to the house so people will not know that he is there.  They told the Simpsons that several of the families in the neighborhood had been praying for a solid Christian family to move into that house.  When they found out who moved in, they were extremely distressed.  Pendergraft’s neighbors would like to see him move out of their community and away from their children.


They asked us to come back again this week.  Among other things, they told Rick and Pam about the Hindu shrine in his house and about theone in his back yard.  One neighbor was happy to allow several of us to traverse their back yard affording us the opportunity to take pictures of the elaborate shrine to an  idol in the abortionist’s yard.

Gentle Christians distributed information throughout the area informing the neighbors of Mr. Pendergraft’s presence in their community  The intent of the leaflets was to  ask the neighbors of Mr. Pendergraft  to adopt him in prayer .

We are very encouraged that abortionist Scott Pendergraft is surrounded by Christians who are praying for him to repent and trust in Christ as Lord.

Saints in Jackson Given ‘Em Heaven!

Pastor Jonathan King of Mountain View Baptist Church with Jeremy and Felice Aughenbaugh allowing the theology of the church house to become biography in the streets of Jackson, Wyoming.  This was their first foray into the streets since we left Jackson.  Please keep them in your prayers as they are lifting up the Gospel of Christ in a most hostile and intolerant city. 

It is amazing that those who scream “tolerance” the loudest, are really the most intolerant of all.  Those who scream “stop the violence,” are really the most violent of all.  Those who scream “protect wildlife,” will not lift a finger to protect human life.  Those who proclaim “love for all religions,” hate only one – the Gospel of Jesus Christ!

God said, “…all who hate me love death.”  Proverbs 8:36. ~ Flip

Jeremy, Pastor John, me and the kids at Jackson’s gate of hell!

We had some reaction, but as Jer put it…We need Malachi! We didn’t get nearly the reaction we should have!

The graphic signs are what stirs the demons up and that is how we know this is a mighty, mighty work of GOD!

TV Coverage of Rachel’s Park Memorial Attack

Here are some more pictures of Rachael’s Park Memorial and TV interviews Rusty did. ~ Flip

by Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

The following are the two interviews revealing the attack against Rachel’s Park Memorial. Some of the information is not accurate, but the sin and crime of abortion is front and center in Waco, TX where it needs to be.

Channel 25

KCEN

A young man, who was the first father to honor the loss of his child through his sin, recently received ministry at the park. When he found out about its desecration he wrote, “This is horrible, we went out with Bonnie two nights ago and visited the memorial with our youngest son. I thank you again and appreciate your ministry. And would like to help in any way possible in repairing and cleaning up the destruction that was done to this beautiful memorial for the innocence.”

May God continue to turn to good, the evil committed against Him and His little ones.

REMINDER: GOD IS GOING BACK TO SCHOOL, Bridgeport, FRIDAY JUNE 3, 7 AM – 8 AM

If you are willing to come out to save lives and souls for Jesus we will be meeting at a Bridgeport High School by 7 AM Friday morning to pass out signs and literature. Please email me if you want to come out with us. I will give you all the info. After this most of the saints are going to the mill on 3787 Main St to save the babies and their moms.

Here is a picture of Arnaz with Nancy, Jennie and Pastor Hector. Some of the moms that have changed their minds attend Lighthouse Fellowship Church in Bridgeport. It was Arnaz’s 4th birthday Sunday so God blessed him with a cake and some presents. Thank you Jesus for your loving kindness is new every morning! Praise Him. Please pray for these families to be discipled and turn their lives over to our Lord.  

Jesus said to the crowds, “If you trust me, you are really trusting God who sent me. For when you see me, you are seeing the one who sent me. I have come as a light to shine in this dark world, so that all who put their trust in me will no longer remain in the darkness. If anyone hears me and doesn’t obey me, I am not his judge –for I have come to save the world and not judge it. But all who reject me and my message will be judged at the day of judgement by the truth I have spoken. I don’t speak on my own authority. The Father who sent me gave me His own instructions to what I should say. And I know his instructions lead to eternal life; so I say whatever the Father tells me to say! John 12:44-50

For the Least of These,

Judgment Begins at the House of God

by Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas

“Behold, a whirlwind of the LORD is gone forth in fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the wicked. The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly (Jeremiah 23:19, 20).”

One Wild Week of Tornadoes, 2011 Now Deadliest Year for Twisters are some of the many headlines that have Americans reeling. This record breaking season of death, destruction, and despair descended upon the Heartland of America in unprecedented fury. Angry skies served up vicious storms. Most of them touched down upon the “Bible Belt” in our beleaguered nation.

Meteorologists were stupefied as they reported major harm in cities not usually visited by these deadly whirlwinds. Typically, tornadoes set down in rural areas, which cause minimal damage. Not so in these tumultuous days. Instead of bypassing congested areas of city life, tornadoes are striking with pinpoint accuracy the epicenters of the Heartland. Wide paths of devastation have been left in their wake. Tragic pictures and videos chronicle the carnage as American citizens are being dispossessed of their lands, properties, valuables and homes.

How do scientists, meteorologists, and reporters account for these massive storms? One thing for sure, they do not equate the litany of woe with the spiritual and moral state of our nation. Since science is their god, it would be sacrilegious to acknowledge any another. Thus, they are left with mere speculations, theories and hypotheses. According to their humanistic worldview, to think that these multiple outbreaks of unparalleled twisters are a result of a Holy God judging our blood stained and perverted nation is archaic and superstitious. Tragically, this practically guarantees the hammer blows of God’s remedial judgments will increase with frequency and intensity.

The prophet Amos addressed this willful ignorance when Israel was being dispossessed in their day. He stated:

And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain on one city, and caused it not to rain on another city: one piece was rained on, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered. So two or three cities wandered to one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD. I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD. I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up to your nostrils: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD. I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have you not returned to me, said the LORD. Therefore thus will I do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel. For, see, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares to man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name (Amos 4:7-13).

Why would the loving God of the Bible bring such calamity? George Mason, one of our Founding Fathers responsible for our Bill of Rights, provides a clue. He stated, “As nations cannot be rewarded or punished in the next world, they must be in this. By an inevitable chain of causes and effects, Providence punishes national sins, by national calamities.” In the book of Ezekiel, the prophet records sixty three times this one profound statement, “That you may know that I am the LORD!” Most of these references pertain to divine retribution. God’s love that scourges and disciplines dealt with Israel’s idolatrous affairs with other gods and the vain philosophies of men (Hebrews 12:5-11). With each judgment that came to pass, God pleaded, “Return to me.” They refused, which led to the inevitable “Prepare to meet your God!” I doubt very seriously, it was a pleasant meeting. Behold the goodness and the severity of God (Romans 11:22).

The Prophet Hosea warned, “For they have sown the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7).” This Old Testament passage reveals a New Testament principle that is unalterable. The Apostle Paul affirms, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatever a man sows, that shall he also reap. For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting (Galatians 6:7, 8).” America has sowed to the wind and we are literally reaping the whirlwind just as God’s word warned.

Interestingly enough, it is the Red states that have been hit the hardest. How could that be? Are not the Red states where the majority of conservative, Christians abide? Why would they receive the brunt of these storms? The title of this article reveals a possible answer. 1 Peter 4:17, 18, declares, “For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?”

In this passage of Scripture, God establishes His divine order of judgment. First, He will deal with the Church’s complicity and complacency with evil. Afterward, those who advocate and promote evil will experience “…flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and from the glory of his power (2 Thessalonians 1:8, 9).”

If this divine order holds true in our day, what can the blue states on the east and west coast expect in the days ahead? One can only pray God remember mercy in the midst of your judgments. If God does not spare churches and His people in these awful storms, what will happen to the synagogues of Satan, the ones that do the Devil’s bidding by killing God’s children and parading their sin like Sodom?

I know many, including my brothers and sisters, will not receive this teaching anon with joy. Yet God told Ezekiel:

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying, Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand. Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul. Again, When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand. Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul (Ezekiel 3:16-21).

Johnny Hunter from L.E.A.R.N. once stated after preaching this word from Ezekiel, “Someone’s soul is going to be saved tonight and that soul is mine.” His word was like a hammer that broke the stubborn rock of resistance and like a fire that burned up the chaff of lies perpetrated by the Evil One (Jeremiah 23:29). It is vitally important that the Church clear herself of the innocent blood that has been shed and the blood that is required to cleanse the land. Otherwise, American citizens will continue to be vomited out of the land (Numbers 35:33, 34; Leviticus 18:25).

To those who have ears to hear, it is time to bear the reproach and follow Jesus outside the mainstream camp of American Christianity (Hebrews 13:3). We must unashamedly connect the dots to God’s truth, warnings, and judgments with the corresponding reality facing our nation. These natural disasters, pestilence, plagues, wars, and civil strife are not the results of coincidence or a string of bad luck. America has sowed to the wind and we are reaping the whirlwind.

I’ll conclude this exhortation with a brief message my daughter Cassia sent to our pastor recently. She told me in the last week she has wept, mourned, and interceded like never before concerning the wretched state of our nation. Here is her inspired admonishment:

I have felt the last week a stirring in my heart and soul of the Holy Spirit. He wants to speak to us. He is speaking to us through His judgments, (tornadoes, fires, floods) and He is also speaking to anyone who wants to hear from Him. This is not a time for us Christians to be lazy and idle in our faith and walk with God. We must cry out for our nation. We must mourn and pray and seek God to turn His face towards us and heal our land. I feel He wants to move amongst us if we would but have a humble and contrite heart before Him. This is not about Sunday and Wednesday night services. This is about a life style of surrender and seeking His face, and His will. He wants a generation who is set on fire for Him. Will we be that generation that He can use or will He have to find another? God help us be that generation.

I pray that the Church cries Amen and then gets busy giving God a reason to show mercy to a nation staggering under the weight of bloodguiltiness and the subsequent manifold judgments afflicting our nation!
