Christians Must Defy Caesar’s Attempt to Control the Church...

CONSTANTLY
"My child and My children, pray constantly a vigil of prayer going throughout your world and the earth, for the little time that is being allotted to mankind." - Jesus, August 21, 1985

GREAT COURAGED NEEDED
"Great courage will be needed in the days ahead. You will pray much, and the Father will counsel you on your next recourse. Spread the message, My child, with great haste.
    "Did I not warn you that the agents of darkness would try to stop the truth? Have no fear, My child. It is not man that you should fear. Man has lost his way; he is in deep darkness. Darkness has entered into the hearts of many. Many in My Son's House now have gone down the road to darkness. Pray for them, My child. Do not castigate them in any way, but pray that they may be given the light." - Our Lady, November 1, 1973

WARRlORS
"You just remember, My children, to call on Michael and the angels, whom man has deemed to cast aside. Yes, this guardian you will need. We have placed them at your sides; call on them. We are all waiting and watching. No one will be lost if they call on them, Our warriors." - Our Lady, May 30, 1971

The above Messages from Our Lord and Our Lady were given to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, New York. Read more

Government attempts to regulate church attendance and worship practices violate not only the law of our land, the U.S. Constitution, they violate the law above the law, and because of that every Christian pastor should individually be in open defiance of restrictive "mandates" and collectively in active civil rebellion against the state and local governments issuing them. The daily news should be dominated not by violent BLM/Antifa rioting over phony "systemic racism" narratives, but by images of bold but non-violent men of God standing resolutely against tyranny – speaking forth the truth of the Gospel even if hauled off to jail – while their congregations gather in mass protests outside the city halls and state houses singing the great old hymns about the "Mighty Fortress of our God" and "Christian Soldiers Marching As to War." No secular power could withstand Christendom united in this way!

But instead of Lions of Faith, we see Cowering Sheep "having a form of Godliness [by their words] but [by their actions] denying its power." That's from 2 Timothy 3, which describes the "perilous times" of the last days, when the society is overrun with the wicked. The wicked run wild because the righteous are ashamed to assert their authority as agents of the Lord of Hosts.

Why would any observer of today's church believe its God has any power to protect and keep His followers even through the valley of the shadow of death when its leaders show by example that He's not even worth the risk of incurring the disfavor of petty government bureaucrats? Jeremiah rebuked the wimps of his day by asking, "If you have run with footmen and they have tired you out, Then how can you compete with horses? If you fall down in a land of peace, How will you do in the thicket of the Jordan?" The same principle is stated in the Gospel of Luke: "He who is faithful in a very little thing is faithful also in much; and he who is unrighteous in a very little thing is unrighteous also in much."

No, an order to obey man instead of God on "social distancing" is not the Mark of the Beast. But it's a rehearsal for it. It is conditioning the sheep to follow a false shepherd into a cattle chute.

My First Century Bible Church is small and widely dispersed. The COVID-19 plandemic hit just as I was ready to launch a local congregation-building campaign here on the outskirts of Memphis, Tennessee, on the border of Mississippi, so growth has been difficult. My prior congregation was an inner-city mission church in Springfield, Massachusetts, also small. So my right to speak on these matters is not by virtue of leading a mega-church, but only the right common to all men of the clergy to assert God's truth as I understand it, in submission to the unction of the Holy Spirit and in conformity to His Word.

I do not recognize the authority of secular government to dictate any aspect of doctrine or practice of my congregation. As a Christian attorney and pastor, I know and follow the law above the law and claim the right of church sovereignty implicit in the original meaning of the separation of church and state, which is by no means a one-way street controlled by the state.

To clarify the point, consider why the government does not tax churches. It's not from a sense of benevolent indulgence but because it has NO POWER to tax a separate and equal sovereign. This is an ancient and inviolable precept of civilization, as deeply rooted as the autonomy of the Levite clergy's "cities of refuge," relative to the "state" power of the 12 Hebrew tribes, from the first days of the Israelite republic.

Indeed, the church has greater autonomy relative to the federal and state governments than the state governments have relative to the federal government. The "supremacy clause" of Article VI of the U.S. Constitution subjects the states to federal law where the two conflict on a matter within federal jurisdiction.

In contrast, the First Amendment defines church sovereignty thus: "Congress [the only legitimate legislative body] shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." That is an absolute prohibition on government interference with the church which pre-dates the Marbury v. Madison power grab of the Supreme Court, under which subsequent judicial activism purported to regulate the church.

While other churches and congregations might have acquiesced to the court's illegitimate authority, I am not bound by their decisions, having newly established my own church totally independent of them. I have not registered First Century Bible Church with the government and have no intention to do so.

As an ambassador of the Church of Jesus Christ I do not recognize the authority of the Supreme Court – an arm of the state – to legislate from the bench on church/state matters. It retains authority to regulate the state in church/state matters, but not the church.

Clearly, the church has a biblical duty to cooperate in church/state matters, and even more, to actively steward the secular society! But not as an inferior entity to the state. In the "coadjuvancy" of church and state envisioned by the founders (meaning the cooperation of separate sovereigns), the legal relationship of the two is the jurisprudential equivalent to an international treaty. More specifically, since it involves close interaction within the same geographic territory, the relationship is akin to that which exists between Native American tribes and the federal government, but the rights of the church are stronger than those of Indian tribes, because they come from God, not merely from established human customs about territorial possessions.

I have founded First Century Bible Church upon this premise, invoking the theological authority established by the Apostle Paul in his epistles and earthly ministry, and the political/legal authority recognized (not granted) by the First Amendment, which pre-existed the American colonies, as admitted by the Declaration of Independence.

I will not defy Caesar on matters within his jurisdiction, but I do stand in open defiance in matters of church doctrine and practice as defined by the Holy Bible. Equally importantly, I do not grant Caesar the power to determine for me what the parameters of God's jurisdiction are. I challenge every pastor in America to take this stand with me – no matter the cost. (Kudos to Pastor John MacArthur and Liberty Counsel).

TOO LITTLE HOLINESS
"I have warned you to protect your households and your children from the evil forces that now have cast a dark shadow upon mankind and the world. There are doctrines of demons being expounded by human beings who knowingly or unknowingly have become tools of satan. The saddest knowledge that I have received is that My Son is being defamed even by His own, His own teachers, those who have given themselves over to the world and have allowed Our sheep to go straying.
    "I have asked you all not to abandon My Son's Church, but to remain: set an example of prayer and holiness. There is too little holiness now in My Son's Church, and in other denominations upon the earth.
    "Those who have little knowledge of the Book of life and love, the Bible, will fall easy prey to false witnesses who go about the world now, deceiving even some of the elect. You must read your Bible so that you will not be deluded by the written word. The Bible cannot be taken as sectional or piece by piece, but you must know the whole, for satan has poisoned many minds. And satan, too, can expound the Scriptures." - Our Lady, May 26, 1979

The awesome Bayside Prophecies...  https://www.tldm.org/Bayside/
These prophecies came from Jesus, Mary, and the saints to Veronica Lueken at Bayside, NY, from 1968 to 1995:

COURAGE AND PERSEVERANCE
"Now, My child, I give you My peace in courage and perseverance. The strength will be given to you to continue your mission, but know that the battle rages now for souls. Satan will send great forces against you and all who work for My Mother. But know now that Her voice will not be stilled throughout the world, for We will rise up great enemies against these forces of satan. As they seek to send enemies among you, We shall crush them." - Jesus, October 2, 1974

COURAGE TO STAND FORWARD
"I bless you, My child, and this cross discarded with sorrow in Our hearts. It will bring immeasurable joy to your heart. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
    "Now, My child, you shall have two crosses, but this one you will take with you, so you will always be close to My sacred grounds. Many graces have been given for the return to the Sacraments of Our wandering sheep. Bless them, My child, on every oc­casion with this crucifix. A holy priest once held it, and he will be returned to the flock when he receives the courage of his convictions to stand forward as a true shepherd." - Our Lady, November 1, 1975

"RETURN TO A LIFE OF PRAYER"
"Clergy, bishops, cardinals in My House, return to a life of prayer. Take yourselves out of the world. You have become seekers of pleasure, pleasures of the flesh. My children and My shepherds, you will all be judged, and shall I find you wanting?
    "My Mother has promised to be with you as I am with you unto the end of time.
    "There will be many trials set upon the world. And if you retain your sacramentals and keep your faith, you will go through these times with great courage and perseverance. I repeat: Many shall wash themselves clean in the Blood of the Lamb." - Jesus, July 25, 1977

MORE
"If you pray more, you will learn to love prayer. It will become a way of life that you cannot turn from, for it will give you something that you have never found in the world." - St. Theresa, May 17, 1975

SUNDAY HOLY HOUR
"I wish that there be held on these sacred grounds an hour of reparation on the Day of the Lord. This hour will be for your Vicar and the fallen hierarchy in the House of God. This hour will also be in atonement for the discard of the holy Day of God." - Our Lady, September 14, 1972

SAINTS
"The power of prayer has made saints from sinners." - Our Lady, October 2, 1972

CHILDREN
"In order for your children to be saved, My parents, you must keep a constant vigilance of prayer going throughout your home, and those homes of your immediate families. One good example can save a dozen, My children." - Our Lady, October 5, 1985

SOUL MEDITATION
"My children, We are always with you, but you must think your way to Us. This may be confusing at first, but really quite simple; for prayer is a form of soul meditation through the thinking process. What you hear within is the Spirit within." - Our Lady, October 6, 1970

UNLESS
"Unless you pray, you will be lost." - St. Thomas, November 24, 1973

UNANSWERED
"Your prayers will not go unanswered. Ask, and you shall receive; seek and you shall find the way. Believe and you will be given the way." - Jesus, October 6, 1979

WEAPON
"Pray, for prayer is the greatest weapon given to you now to remove this evil from among you." - Our Lady, September 7, 1974

ACTION
"Pray, but act also, for prayers without action is like placing a mess of meat on a dead man's grave." - Jesus, August 5, 1978

OPEN UP
"They do not always have to be written words, but pray from your heart; open up your heart to My Son." - Our Lady, November 20, 1976

SPEAK ONCE
"Speak once, and if not hastened or listened to, speak no more, but pray that the Eternal Father in Heaven will open up the ears of those who have closed their hearts and their ears to the truth." - Our Lady, November 20, 1979

WOMEN
"The angels command respect to My Son. You [women] will cover your heads when you pray." - Our Lady, November 23, 1974

BEGIN AND END
"Each day of your life must begin with prayer and end with prayer." - Jesus, February 10, 1977

STRENGTH
"The prayers of others can reach out and give this strength to the weak." - Our Lady, March 24, 1972

INVASION
"O My children, prayer and penance is the major, now, blockade against invasion." - Our Lady, March 15, 1978

CHASTISEMENT
"The coming Chastisement will be lessened in your area if you will follow the direction I have given you from Heaven: a constant vigilance of prayer." - Our Lady, April 22, 1973

DAILY
"You must all now keep a constant vigilance of prayer. And when I say constant, My children, it means daily." - Our Lady, March 18, 1978

MY GOD
My God, I believe, I adore, I trust, and I love Thee. I beg pardon for all those who do not believe, do not adore, do not trust, and do not love Thee. - Veronica, October 6, 1976

SUCCOR
"When you become ill, be it physical, mental, or sorrowfully in your heart, you will say, 'My Jesus, my confidence!' And I will truly succor you." - Our Lady, September 7, 1985
