The Blue Ray & The Ballot: Michael Flynn’s Occult Blueprint for Local Dominion

In a chilling fusion of military precision and mystical occultism, a new movement led by Michael Flynn is rewriting the playbook for political power. This investigation delves into the "Seven Rays" theology—a syncretic blend of the New Apostolic Reformation’s Seven Mountains Mandate and 19th-century Theosophy—now being used to "launder" esoteric concepts for a Christian Nationalist audience. From the "Acoustic Warfare" of shofars and 528Hz frequency emitters to the strategic seizure of local school boards and sheriff offices, the movement’s blueprint is clear: "Local Action, National Impact." Discover how legal doctrines like the "Ecclesiastical Shield" are being leveraged to create "Counties of Refuge," shielding a sophisticated network of "dark money" and high-control tactics from secular oversight.

The Corruption of Christianity

When the Cross Met the Crown: How Constantine Traded Persecution for Power The story of early Christianity is often told in two distinct chapters: the era of the martyrs, where faith flourished under the shadow of the lion's mouth, and the era of the empire, which began abruptly with Emperor Constantine the Great. While Constantine's legalization of Christianity in the 4th century is celebrated as a divine victory, it also initiated a profound and arguably fatal shift in the nature of the faith.

How to Guard Your Faith: The Bible’s 3 Tests for False Teaching

Deception in the church isn't a future threat—it's an ever-present reality that Jesus and the apostles repeatedly warned us about. From the pulpits of prosperity to the claims of new apostles, false teaching is designed to look spiritual, feel uplifting, and sound appealing to your "itching ears." But how do you protect your faith when the lies are so subtly twisted with truth? The Bible provides a simple, three-part framework for spiritual self-defense, the Test of Doctrine, The Test of Character, and The Test of Outcomes.

Power Under Control: The Call to Be Humble and Bold in Christ

In our Christian walk, we are called to embody two traits that seem to contradict one another: humility and boldness. One is lowly, the other courageous—yet both are commanded in Scripture. True discipleship requires the quiet surrender of humility and the Spirit-empowered courage of boldness. Jesus Christ, the Lion and the Lamb, embodies both perfectly. As we follow Him, we are invited into a life that is both low before God and fearless before man.
