David and Goliath
David said to Saul, “Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him.”
Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
But David said to Saul, “Your servant has been keeping his father’s sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine.”
Saul said to David, “Go, and the Lord be with you.”
Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them.
“I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off. Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd’s bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
Meanwhile, the Philistine, with his shield bearer in front of him, kept coming closer to David. He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him. He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods. “Come here,” he said, “and I’ll give your flesh to the birds and the wild animals!”
David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I’ll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord’s, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
So David triumphed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone; without a sword in his hand he struck down the Philistine and killed him.
David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine’s sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword.
When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran. Samuel 17:32-51 (NIV)
FOUNDER’S MESSAGE:
As Christians move beyond Resurrection Sunday, which is also a celebration of the beginning of Christianity, one wonders about this time that many recognize as the Last Days. In the Easter edition of the LightWing Messages, I offered a different perspective of Christians in such a time as this – that we are like the disciples in the Garden that Jesus urged to keep watch and remain vigilant. Are Christians not to be watching for his return? Are we not to keep the faith; did he not ask seriously whether he would find faith when he returned?
The question cannot be adequately answered by those Christians who only have the name of being a Christian, yet exhibit little in the way of faith in practice. (Matthew 7:21-27) Those who do prefer theological debate would provide their own well-reasoned excuses for not putting their faith into practice, but would this not be comparable to the scribes, the teachers of the law, and the Pharisees who knew well the Law and the Torah quite well, but as Jesus said: “...teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach…” (Matthew 23:2-3)
The biblical passage used as an introduction to today’s message is a portion of the very famous story of David and Goliath. It is advisable to read the entire story. Does it not represent David’s steadfast faith in the midst of a seemingly impossible situation? Does David not practically apply his steadfast faith in the confrontation with a real formidable enemy? Today, there are many in the secular realm that would claim that this story was a fake narrative. There are even people of faith who would doubt the truthfulness of the biblical story – pretending outwardly to believe, but being hollow inside. The conflict between faith and pragmatism still rages in our world right now. So, how is faith doing in such a fight?
The fundamental question is whether faith will prevail in such a time as this. Or, as Jesus’ most trusted disciples did, have those who claim to be followers of Christ fallen asleep? Have those who claim to be followers of Christ fallen into temptation? Is America a land of faith, or does it resemble, or even surpass, the evil dominion that existed in the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah? Is America still a land of faith and the land of the free? Be honest! My concern is that steadfast faith has immigrated to other countries. Do Americans of faith live under a dominion of evil like the Hebrews lived under the Pharaohs, or the Romans, or do we live in the Kingdom of God?
I trust the message Heaven has revealed in this time that the Kingdom still remains unfinished.
Our challenge is to seek ye first His ‘Kingdom and His righteousness.’ When does that start?
Last week we had two very strong messages from men who put their faith into practice – like David who faced off against Goliath. This week we have messages from two men of incredible faith in our time. They look realistically at the world around us, yet their faith speaks volumes. I mentioned last week that “...it is advisable to note that the many messages from ministers today have been watered down and sanitized for consumption of converts to their church – not intended for true disciples of Jesus.” These are not such men. These are men of faith who see the adversary in our midst and who are taking action to exercise their faith in the manner in which God can work through each of them in a substantial manner.
The first of the two messages today is offered by Kevin McGary. He is an author and activist and an incredible patriot and his new book, Woked Up, is a brief but powerful exposure of the origins of real white supremacists. Mr. McGary’s message is entitled: “Molech and Baal in America.” It is a revelation of one form of the evil in our midst and echoes what Rabbi Jonathan Cahn has been warning Americans of for some time.
The second message is an excerpt from a book written by Dr. Robert Owens entitled: “It’s a Battlefield Brother.” It is an excerpt from Dr. Owens’ book Hope. It is a message that gets to the point very quickly in the first line: “We’re in a spiritual war every day whether we recognize it or not, and if we ignore the Bible’s exhortation to fight the good fight, we’ll inevitably become a casualty.” Owens has an extensive background and his words carry great weight although he makes the effort to keep his perspective a mixture of faith and good old common sense.
As always, we hope our readers would consider all the messages (featured and aggregated) in this edition as having relevance or meaning, and if readers know others who might also value the messages, we pray they would consider becoming LightWing messengers and kindly pass our newsletters on to those who would welcome them. Otherwise, please simply receive these messages yourselves.
Our Zoom discussion last Wednesday which included an interview with Dr. Richard Moss, who has just created a new patriot organization, was a very stimulating session for those who were able to attend. We had recently featured Dr. Moss’ messages on his Red State Manifesto and the introductory information on the Frontline Freedom - 1776. The CPR newsletter featured a bit of introductory information on his new patriot organization. In case anyone missed that CPR edition, it can be accessed by following this link: CPR Lifeline Advisory - Thursday - 4/13/2023
The Zoom calls are now being offered each Wednesday at 5pm PDT as we have indicated in previous editions. If readers would like to partake in this upcoming Zoom call on Wednesday and get the chance to discuss today’s LightWing Messages, please reach out. It is possible, if readers are interested, to invite either of these men to a similar interview. Readers who are interested in receiving the Zoom link to the call, are asked to please send a brief email request to this address: d.jamzon@gmail.com
May God bless all of our readers and all of their loved ones. May God bless America!
May we, who are called by His name, humble ourselves and truly receive the gifts that God has bestowed upon us, especially Life, Liberty and our ability to Pursue Happiness, but to offer our attendance to His Will to retain these gifts as well as the Republic. May we repent for inattention and inaction to DO HIS WILL. May we strengthen our faith and raise our courage to seek His Kingdom and His righteousness.
Molech and Baal in America
By Kevin McGary
(unknown posting date)
Unfathomable Molech and Baal child sacrifices are “ancient history,” right? Not so! Unfathomable child sacrifices continue unabated!
Biblical and ancient history describes abominable practices and unfathomable rituals that were dedicated to the idol gods Molech and Baal.
Rituals to these gods required live sacrifices of children. Innocent, defenseless children were put into fiery furnaces and burned to death as a sacrifice to the gods. Any moral person would view these grotesque ancient rituals as savage and inhumane. Regrettably, monstrous forms of child sacrifice continue to this very day.
Molech Sacrifices
The Bible confirms Molech was an idol god depicted as a bronze statue. The bronze statue had the face of a bull, multiple chambers, and an opening in the “stomach.” The stomach of Molech burned intensely hot, and this is where children would be placed or thrown in and burned alive. While parents threw their children into the fire as a sacrifice to Molech, they were motivated by the notion “the hotter the fire, the better.” (Imagine that.) Unfortunately, the evil didn’t stop with Molech sacrifices; Baal rituals were just as grotesque.
Baal Rituals
Ancient Baal rituals were mostly performed out of community desperation. During times of crisis, Baal’s followers were encouraged to sacrifice their children on behalf of the community.
Firstborn children of Baal worshippers were the ones usually sacrificed by being thrown into a pit to be burned alive (in a similar fashion to Molech).
Participants in these rituals believed the sacrifice of the firstborn was a requirement to gain personal (and/or communal) prosperity. As if the base horrors of Baal sacrifices were not enough, the rituals also incorporated sensual eroticism; people gleefully participated in mostly nude sensual performances and orgies, while children screamed as they were thrown into the furnace and burned alive. Unconscionable!
Child Sacrifice Today
Today, most would say there is no moral justification for Molech and Baal’s child sacrifices. Very few things can be worse than being thrown (alive) into a fiery furnace. But, as horrific as throwing babies into a fiery furnace was, being alive and then having your body torn apart limb-by-limb is worse Shockingly, the medieval savagery of tearing bodies apart limb-by-limb is how child sacrifice is practiced today.
Now, children are torn apart limb-by-limb via abortion; then, their body parts are contemptuously sold to the highest bidders. There is no sugar coating: Abortion is wholly barbaric and exceeds the savage nature of ancient child sacrifices of Molech and Baal.
In our current times, however, most people who virtue signal about being moral fail to recognize the savage destruction of God’s most precious creation … babies. The global conscience has been seared to the point that people scarcely recognize the barbarism and sheer brutality of abortion. Since abortion is encouraged by medical practitioners, “woke” culture, abortion “choice” laws, major media, and countless others, progressive societies are desensitized to the realities of this horror.
There’s no denying that child sacrifices have remained unabated from ancient times to the modern day. The rituals have changed, but the results are the same.
Regrettably child sacrifice doesn’t stop there. Children’s minds are now being sacrificed through the brazen degeneracy of educational curriculums.
Child Sacrifice in Education
Regrettably, modern-day school systems and curricula are dominated by strategic brainwashing designed to brainwash and defile children. Children are inundated with lessons incorporating “woke” curriculums that include racist theories like CRT, “child grooming” via the encouragement of gender dysphoria, and highly sexual lessons/demonstrations of perversion and deviancy. Children are being purposely unmoored from traditional morals and values, and encouraged to embrace anti-God sentiments.
Please Support The Stream: Equipping Christians to Think Clearly About the Political, Economic, and Moral Issues of Our Day.
In aggregate, children in (primarily public) school systems are being sacrificed through the introduction of demonically inspired cultural themes. While this type of sacrifice is not necessarily immediately fatal, it is corrosive and lays a foundation bearing eternal negative consequences. So, what are some interventions that can help mitigate and prevent the child sacrifices of today?
What Can We Do?
Being sincere about helping protect children from medieval savagery means withdrawing support of child sacrifices consummated via “abortuaries” (Planned Parenthood/abortion clinics).
If we are sincere about wanting children to embrace a world of endless possibilities, an appropriate response would be to help dismantle and prevent brainwashing within school systems.
Finally, if we are sincere about encouraging children to accept and positively embrace ethnic/racial differences, an appropriate response would be to reject “wokeism” and racist Critical Race Theory (CRT and similar theories). Instead of “woke” brainwashing, children should be encouraged to embrace individuals based on the “content of one’s character” as Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. clearly exhorted.
Every Black Life Matters Rejects Any Form of Child Sacrifice
Every Black Life Matters (EBLM) is committed to protecting all of God’s creation, especially children (the most innocent). We therefore categorically reject any form of child sacrifice; urgently we encourage everyone to stand with us against abortion. Likewise, to protect children’s futures, we encourage parents to come alongside our efforts to combat divisive “woke” cultural movements (like CRT, DEI etc.). Taking these steps, we can change the downward trajectory of current culture and provide a much brighter future for children.
An intense focus on children is vital if we hope for better future generations. Please partner with EBLM (www.everyblm.com) as we invest to protect the interests and potential of rising generations!

It’s a Battlefield Brother
By Dr. Robert Owens [This is an excerpt from the book Hope by Dr. Owens] March 29, 2023
We’re in a spiritual war every day whether we recognize it or not, and if we ignore the Bible’s exhortation to fight the good fight, we’ll inevitably become a casualty.
As soon as Jesus was resurrected, after triumphing over Satan and taking the keys to death and Hell away from him He had the legal right to completely reclaim the earth Adam had given over to Satan. But He didn’t do it.
Have you ever asked yourself why didn’t Jesus set everything right when He was here? Maybe you haven’t asked this question specifically, but have you wondered, “Why do bad things happen to good people?” or “Why do evil people seem to prosper?” or the classic, “Why did fill in the blank have to get cancer, get hurt, die, etc. ?” If you’ve asked any one of these questions or any one of the million variations you’ve asked, “Why didn’t Jesus set everything right when He was here?”
Here’s the short answer; He didn’t do it because if He had there would’ve been no opportunity for us to make the faith choice to join Him in His work of ruling all things. As a matter of fact, if He’d taken it all back more than two thousand years ago we never would’ve been born let alone have the opportunity to be born again.
As we fight our battle against the darkness in this world we have to realize we don’t wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. And since this is the case, we need to use the weapons that God provides not the weapons we can devise. For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare aren’t carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
And all this depends on what we decide to do with our salvation. Are we going to be secret agent Christians hiding our light under a bushel so we can go along to get along? Or, are we going to be bold warriors for Christ doing our best to share what isn’t just good news but is in fact the best news ever?
Once we’ve made the quality decision to spend our lives, the lives God has given us, sharing the light which is the light of the world with those lost in the darkness, we’ll find ourselves standing in a hurricane of resistance. The assaults of the enemy, the assaults of the world, of our families, our friends, the government, the culture will try their best to knock us down and knock us out. But we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us and no matter how strong the headwind against us we must do our best to stand our ground.
And having done all to stand we need to stand therefore, having truth as a belt around our waist, putting on a bulletproof vest made of righteousness, stepping into shoes designed to deliver the gospel of peace, and above all, taking the shield of faith with which we’ll be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. If we forget any of this armor, we can’t expect the enemy to play fair and not attack us in that area. We can’t say, “Don’t hit me there I’m not prepared.”
Yes, in the world we will have tribulations but we can be assured Christ has overcome the world.
Years ago, I wrote a song that expressed all this in a slightly more artistic form:
When we see the darkness all around us
We don’t wring our hands and cry about sin
We just light one candle it will burn by faith
Then we ask the Holy Ghost in
It’s a battlefield brother
It’s a battlefield sister
It’s a battlefield not a recreation hall
There’s nothing that the enemy can do or say
That could make me give up on God
And when I’m tested, I know I’m never tested
More than what I’ve got to handle the job
It’s a battlefield brother
It’s a battlefield sister
It’s a battlefield not a recreation hall
God knew we can’t reach high enough
So He sent Jesus down to us
And He knew we can’t be right enough
So He gave us His righteousness
It’s a battlefield brother
It’s a battlefield sister
It’s a battlefield not a recreation hall
