Kingdom Moments with Rusty Thomas

What has been the aftermath of Charli Kirk's Assassination? What powerful dynamics have been set in motion impacting our nation and the world. Is the narrative concerning Kirk's murder consistent with the evidence now coming to light? There are major discrepancies that do not match the official narrative. Chief among them is the direction of the hit. It appears not to be coming from the front, but from behind. See video for evidence in this link. The majority of recent conspiracy theories have been proven true. It is important to keep our discernment level high but not be conspiracy minded. There is an important Biblical distinction here. Isaiah 8:11-14, "or the Lord spoke thus to me with [i]a strong hand and instructed me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying: “Do not say, ‘A conspiracy,’ Concerning all that this people call a conspiracy, nor be afraid of their threats, nor be [troubled. The Lord of hosts, Him you shall hallow; Let Him be your fear, And let Him be your dread. 14 He will be as a sanctuary."

What happens when pastors and elders refuse to address the current evils to the flock of God? It creates a Christianity divorced from reality. How then shall we live when the threat levels have increased and the danger is real? Quote by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman and was quoted in the movie American Sniper, "There are three types of people in this world: sheep, wolves, and sheepdogs. Some people prefer to believe that evil doesn't exist in the world, and if it ever darkened their doorstep, they wouldn’t know how to protect themselves. Those are the sheep. Then you've got predators—wolves—who use violence to hurt the weak. And then there are those who have been blessed with the gift of aggression and the responsibility to protect the flock. These people are a rare breed, and they live to confront the wolf. They are the sheepdogs." There is a need for Christian men to become sheepdogs again. This is also true on the international front as Europe may need to be recued from foreign invaders. What about the Crusaders and the just war theory? The founding of America and the shot heard around the world that took place at a church parking lot. Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrestling between his strong love ethic and commitment to pacifism in the face of Hitler's evil. The episode concludes with Biblical principles on God. war, violence, and defense.

This episode covers that last couple of days of monumental events impacting our nation. The first one is personal. Our granddaughter Daisy Mae's life is hanging in the balance. We need a miracle. Second, is the sad and infuriating incident in that happened in Charlotte, NC. Not sure what was the worst situation in that unprovoked attack against Iryna. Was it the crazed career criminal, the corrupt justice system, the fake news racial deceptive narratives, or the apathy and lack of intervention by those who stood idly by and didn't lift a finger to try and save her life? Third, is the tragic assassination of Charlie Kirk. The threat level has risen and the danger is real. The powers that be are using this to get people angry to lash out or make them fearful and hide. We must not fall for the bait and we need to spit out the scandalon. We must also be prepared as Christian men to protect and defend victims from their predators. Men gat back in shape, Become strong, learn to be proficient in firer arm's training. develop a security team at your church and remain vigilant.

Here is the second message delivered at out first annual KLI Manhood Bootcamp. It is based upon an interview between Jordan Peterson and Tim Tebow. Jordan was curious to know how can Tim be so fiercely completive in sports, hate the thought of losing and have this sense of a higher calling and service to the least of these. Tim didn't flinch, "I must fight for those who cannot fight for themselves." This is Tim's vision statement, "“to bring faith, hope and love to those who need a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.” Through the competition of sports and his work with his family on the mission field he learned to pursue being the MVP, Most Valuable Player to rescue the Most Vulnerable People. This episode covers this topic Biblically by studying the life of Job in chapter 29. He was the MVP of his day. C S Lewis stated, "“In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful.” To remedy that dreadful state, C. S. Lewis wrote that the disparate strands of manhood-- fierceness and gentleness--can find healthy synthesis in the person of the knight and in the code of chivalry. Here these competing impulses--normally found in different individuals--find their union." God’s word affirms this call men, "Be brave, be strong and do all things in love (1 Corinthians 16:13). Jordan Peterson stated, "“A harmless man isn’t a good man. A good man is a dangerous man who has everything under voluntary control.” He also declared, "“And if you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.” "Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times" Gentlemen, become an MVP for Christ and for the Most Vulnerable People! AMEN.

Episode begins with a recap of our first annual KLI Manhood Bootcamp. I share God's dealings with me as a young man and His dealings with me as an old man. Psalms 78:1-8 demands fathers perk up, listen and pass on the faith and create a multi=Kingdom generational vison to their posterity. Though Israel had great Kings, Prophets, and Priests, their main failure was a failure of fatherhood to pass on a godly heritage and legacy. Psalms 71:17, 18 and the importance of understanding the continuum which captures the past, present, and future. Men cannot afford to hire professionals in the state and the church to replace their duties and responsibilities. To pass on a godly legacy and heritage, men must seek to accomplish two main goals. The first is to pass on a godly heritage and the second a financial inheritance. Proverbs 13:22 states, “A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, but the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.” If a man does not provide for his family, it is a serious affront to God. God says, he is worse than an infidel and has denied the faith. King David’s preparations and provision for Solomon is a tremendous example to drive home this aspect of fatherhood. David's preparations encompassed both spiritual and practical aspects that ensured Solomon's success in obeying God's will and fulfill the scared task.

We heard it through the grapevine President Trump wants to go to Heaven. There is the rub. How does one obtain heaven to escape the torments of hell. There is a way that seems right to man, but ends in death. It is good that he desires this. As men age mortality comes a knocking. Death is an enemy that Satan uses to torment men and nation with fear. Yet, God has put eternity in every man's soul. Trump may seek it, but the way he is going about it will never secure his place in paradise. It is good he seeks to bee a peacemaker, but he could end all wars, but still not merit heaven. We are saved by grace through faith in Jesus chrsit. Salvation is not of works should any man boast. It is the gift of God. What if you gain the whole world, build an historical legacy as president and lose your own soul. Trump needs to change his spiritual advisors. He needs someone who loves him enough to tell him the true Gospel. Let's pray for those in authority.

My wife, Kendra Thomas, just finished the grammar edit on our newest book :When the Kingdom" Derin Stidd and Jason Storms are working on the content edit. I want to make sure it passes theological and historical muster be fore publishing. There is a possibility that Canon Press will publish the book. This podcast episode goes through the introduction of the book that describes my journey from the Gospel to the Gospel of the Kingdom. The book is built upon two main premises. First concerns the time frame reference concerning the Kingdom of God. . Has it come? Is there a present reality, and will it impact the future of this planet? Has it been withdrawn as some claim and put on pause and one day soon at the "end times" God will press play again and it will be resumed? The premise of this book is the Kingdom came with the first coming of the King. Second, once the Kingdom comes, it is destined to conquer all the kingdoms of men and God's Kingdom will never be destroyed.

This interview starts with Micah's complications at birth that lead to him being a part of redemptive history. The doctor who pieced together Baby Malachi, who though dead still speaks, helped bring Micah into the world. My first wife, Liz, was cared for and stayed with Ronda Mackey whose daughters and Brother Flip Benham were instrumental in Norma McCorvey's conversion. to Christ. She was the Jane Roe of Roe vs. Wade infamy. Micah came out one big muscle. He was jacked. At a young age he demonstrated incredible artist skills. Micah shares his salvation testimony and how it led to creating a greater bond between us as father and son. Micah left home at 18 to follow in my foot steps to serve in New Life Drama company, along with his brothers, Elijah and Josiah. He was gone for ten years and developed others skills, ministry opportunities, businesses, and a family. Years later we reconnected to plant a church in Florida for the last two years. His skill set became the nuts and bolts that helped our church to plant deep roots and is starting to thrive. Micah has written a book called "Unlost." It is about gaining purpose, both for the unbeliever and God's people. Micah will be leaving soon to start another church plant in Roswell. GA. Though our church will be diminished, God's Kingdom will expand. Godspeed son. Love ya!

“Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.

"Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known" (Matthew 10:26). Tulsi Gabbard, the United States Director of National Intelligence just dropped a bombshell report indicting the Obama administration and his ilk with evidence they orchestrated a coup to topple Trump's presidency. For a long time, those who broke the law and got away with crimes were rewarded and promoted in America. Is it now time that justice will finally come? In the days of lawlessness, those who keep the law become the outlaw. "He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8). A sign the God is judging a nation is when its national policy is victimization. A sign that God is resorting a nation is accountability and personal responsibility. We need to pray and demand transparency, truth and justice prevail. May these criminals be brought to justice and God restore righteousness and justice in the gates of our land.

This episode covers the advent of the new AI Grok introduced by Elon Musk. Some are deeply concerned, other say chill. What say ye? Will AI become the new master of humanity? What is the long term impact? Will it improve human life or destroy it? The history of science and technology discoveries always leads men and nations to compete and develop it to remain superior and remain on top. For instance, discovery of gun powder in China led to muskets, rifles, cannons, and now nuclear bombs that can wipe out entire regions of this planet. Where and when does ethics enter to guide these technologies? Just because we can do something, doesn't mean we should. What will human life and activities look like when AI replaces our brains and brawn? As for me and my house, let it be known AI is not my new master, and we will continue to love and serve the Lord.

American Reformation Church is launching a Homeschool Support group page. Three main reasons to Homeschool: Frist, to honor God's chosen government to educate our young which in family government. Education is not just a learning issue, but a jurisdictional issue. Second, to protect our children from the spirit of the age and the evils propagated by government sponsored public education. Third, to pass on a multi-Kingdom generational vision to our children. This episode explores Noah Webster's first edition 1828 dictionary that defines the word education. The importance of training our children in godly character. Academics are important, but not as important as a religious education. An immense responsibility rests on the parents and not the state or the church. Warnings from history: Martin Luther, the Father of the Reformation, stated, “I am very much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell unless they diligently labor in explaining the Scriptures, engraving them in the hearts of youth. I advice no one to place his child where the Scriptures do not reign paramount. Every institution in which men are not increasingly occupied with the Word of God must become corrupt.” Study the Humanist and Communist Manifestoes to discover their plans to use public education to introduce a new religion humanism to replace the rotting corpse of Christianity. John Milton, author of Paradise Lost, grants stated, “The end of learning is to repair the ruin of our first parents by regaining to know God aright; and out of that knowledge to love Him, to imitate Him, and to be like Him.”

In response to No Kings Day, we don't need another one. We have the 4th of July. Besides, there is no king, but Christ. this has Biblical as well as historical significance for our nation. There is another King, one called Jesus. John Adams, stated, "“We recognize no sovereign, but God and no king, but Jesus." Samuel Adams considered the Father of the Revolutionary War stated, “We have this day restored the Sovereign to whom alone men ought to be obedient. He reigns in heaven and… from the rising to the setting sun, may His kingdom come.” George Washington was offered to become king and he flatly refused. Washington stated, "It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible." According to John Adams the 4th of July, "Ought to be commemorated, as the Day of Deliverance, by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty." In the Declaration of Independence, the God of the Bible is mentioned 4 times. He is the Law-giver, the Creator, the Supreme Judge, and to divine providence our Founding Fathers pledged their .lives, fortunes, and sacred honor. Every reformer in America when we went astray as a nation called our country back to God and our national creed

This episode starts with a brief update on family, church, KLI Manhood Bootcamp and KLI School. The phrase separation of Church and State does not appear in our founding documents. It is in the Bile where there is a separation of church and state. Though there is no separation from any government of man from God who created, ordained, and established them. The church is not to be the master of the state, the slave of the state, but the moral conscience of the state. -Martin Luther King Jr. We need prophetic men like Moses, Elijah, Nathan, and John the Baptist to bring correction to civil magistrates who neglect their duties or abuse their authority before God. The state has three primary duties as the Minister of God and that is restrain evil, protect innocent life, and stop the shedding of innocent blood. Paul adds in the New Testament, the state is to punish the evildoer and protect those who are good in God's sight. Every church should have a mission to the magistrate as a part of their outreach programs.

Whereas Veteran’s Day honors the service of our veterans who put themselves in harm’s way to protect our liberties. Memorial Day honors the sacrifice of the many American soldiers that gave their last ounce of devotion in Freedom’s cause. Memorial Day has its roots in the Civil War. It was first called Decoration Day. The first official year to honor Memorial Day was 1868. It grew to remember all our fallen soldiers in all American wars. Since 1775, an estimated 1.19 million American military members have died in American wars. God’s Word is also strong on the concepts of memorials. They served two primary purposes. Frist to recall God's Faithfulness in times past and second, to have a point of contact to pass on a future and hope to our children. It is to secure a multi-generational Kingdom vision for our posterity. This episode discusses General MacArthur's address to West Point in 1962 and the "No Greater Love" ethic a soldier exercises in war. It is the Soldier, not the minister who has given us freedom of religion. It is the Soldier, not the reporter who has given us freedom of the press. It is the Soldier, not the poet who has given us freedom of speech. It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer who has given us freedom to protest. It is the Soldier, not the lawyer who has given us the right to a fair trial. It is the Soldier, not the politician who has given us the right to vote. It is the Soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, who allows the protester to burn the flag.

Brian and I discuss his family background and conversion to Christ. Immediately, he believed he was called to be a missionary. A couple of years later he studied at a seminary, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary, and became a pastor of Convergence Church in North Carolina. Eventually, he became aware of the plight of the preborn and started to bring the Gospel of the Kingdom to the gates of hell. This led him to go full time in life saving missions. He became the Director of Expansion of Love Life. The mission statement of Love Life is as follows, “LOVE LIFE IS UNITING AND MOBILIZING THE CHURCH TO CREATE A CULTURE OF LOVE AND LIFE THAT WILL RESULT IN AN END TO ABORTION AND THE ORPHAN CRISIS.” The topic changed to discuss our partnership together with Jason Storms and Derin A Stidd and our promotion of our first KLI Man’s Camp and the official launch of our KLI School online. The dates for the Man's Camp are August 22nd-24th in Melbourne, FL. The vision is three-fold. First to connect fathers and sons to help strengthen that bond. Second, to equip men with their duties and responsibilities to restore Biblical masculinity in a nation that attacks it. Third, to recruit students for our Kingdom Leadership Institute Online School that is ready to officially launch this New Year, Spring Semester 2026.

The church is getting ready to commemorate the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This episode is dedicated to the memory and legacy of Marilyn Carroll. She was a good friend, devoted sister in Christ, and faithful servant of the Lord in Operation Save America. she and the OSA contingency in Connecticut were a full orbed Christian ministry which produced tremendously good fruit in God's Kingdom. They fired on all pistons, prophetic, evangelistic, and mercy ministries. Well done thou good and faithful servant. She will have a large crown to cast at the feet of her Lord and great shall be her reward. Good night for now sweet sister, we shall see you in the morning.
