Welcome to The REALLY Real Deal

This is our Sunday Message for April 2, 2023, called “Troubled Souls.”

In John 12:27, Jesus says: “Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause, I came unto this hour.”

Jesus felt troubled knowing the time was near for him to be the final living sacrifice for the world. He said the words in this verse just six short days before Passover. The Pharisees had already decided to kill Jesus after he raised Lazarus from death. Jesus knew this but walked toward it.

Just as there were back then, there are many “Troubled Souls” Today.

A distraught 28-year-old female, confused even over her gender, became the fourth transvestite mass murderer in the last four years. She let her “troubles” erupt into cold-blooded murder of the innocent. Three children, and three teachers, in a Christian School. A school she once attended and a place that opposes her lifestyle.

President Trump is again troubled by demonic demon-crats using law as a weapon, just like the Presidents and Princes, Governors, and Satraps of King Darius in Ancient Persia (Daniel chapter 6).

This is the fourth phony attempt to manipulate the law against Trump. There will be at least two more comings soon. As always, Trump walks toward them because it is aimed at us. Trump is just out in front.  

The j-6ers, the Christian martyrs worldwide, and the Christian sidewalk counselors who get arrested in the middle of the night are all following close behind.

Troubled Politics, Troubled World

We see similar demonic manipulation of the laws in the Bible to destroy those doing God’s work: The Pharisees in the New Testament, those opposed to Daniel; those opposed to Nehemiah; Haman and his sons who opposed Mordechai and Esther. It is the same today. 

Jesus, of course, knew it in advance. The rest of us do not possess God’s knowledge (John 13:7). Trump did so much that everyone loved.  Not one of the demon-crats gave back the extra money in their checks, demanded to pay more than $2.00 a gallon for gas, or complained that the four peace deals were not good – but would instead go to war. Not a single one.  

Similarly, our police and first responders heard “Good job, thank you, and God bless” 22 years ago on 9/11 but are now targeted – just like Trump. 

People who treat those doing God’s work with such evil today would have treated Jesus the same way if they lived during that time.  I don’t care how loud they sing in the church choir or how many mission trips they take.

John 12:37 says, ” But though Jesus had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed on him not.”

The proof of how you would have treated Jesus is how you treat God’s people today.

Welcome to The REALLY Real Deal

Watch our Sunday Message for March 26, 2023. “What is the Truth?“

Jesus says, “I came into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth.” John 18.

As Jesus stood in front of Pontius Pilate, he continued to stand firm in his purpose on earth: “to bear witness unto the truth,” even when faced with death.

As Pilate contemplated who Jesus was, he became confused. He knew this man that stood before him claimed to be the Messiah. He knew the many works and wonders Jesus had done during his ministry. And most of all, he knew he needed to make a tough decision, but did he have the strength to do it? Was his decision based on what is right?

The “Deep State” is similar to ancient Persia in the way that persecution is allowed or done to those they know they “can find no fault.” (Daniel chapter 6).

For instance, J-6 and Trump. Unjust judges continue to make decisions according to the two-tier justice system in America.

Who will be next?

Will it be you or your loved ones?

In this message, we look at unjust judges in the Bible and the meaning of “both ears will tingle.”

We answer the question asked above— what is truth?

Join me as we uncover some of the unpopular truths about who Jesus is and what he meant when he said, “Everyone that is of the truth, heareth my voice.”

This begins the countdown to “Resurrection Day.”

We cannot claim to love Jesus if we do not love the truth. 

Finding the truth is really simple. Follow Jesus.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭14‬:‭6.‬ ‭

God Bless you!

Welcome to The REALLY Real Deal and our Sunday Message for March 19, 2023.

In case you missed it, watch my sermon from last Sunday called “Purim & The Age-Old Agenda Against God’s People.“

Now, let’s focus on today’s sermon.

This message is called “God is Just. Therefore He Hates Wrong.”

In today’s message, we focus on two things.

First, the faithful St. Patrick, whose life we celebrate every year on March 17. Few people know the history of his freedom from slavery and his ministry later in his life.

And the current news on Trump’s potential arrest, which he predicts, will occur this Tuesday. 

Part 1: Former slave does not ask for reparations but redeems the land of his former captors – The Real St Patrick.

There is a vast difference in how society approaches the discussion and correction of injustices amongst different races and ethnicities. 

Specifically slavery.

Europeans and Africans were horrifically enslaved throughout history, as were almost every other tribe, nation, and people—even some today.

This is not true of every slave. However, the most common scenario was for nearby tribes or nations to bring most people into slavery. 

Often, the money earned from the slave would go towards paying off a debt. Some may have been war criminals or children born into it.

This was true of the Irish, the Slavs, the Polish, the Brits, and others in Europe. It was also true of various tribes in Africa and so many more.

In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, we will learn how a British man was brought into slavery for six years. How he escaped to freedom, and after two decades, he chose to return to Ireland and plant 300 churches. He baptized 120,000 people for the Lord.

Part 2: A Form of Modern-Day Slavery

The arrest of President Trump is imminent—but no arrests have been initiated for Biden’s Family of Criminals.

Look at the treatment of President Trump versus the Biden family.

Times like this just prove that even within the same races, there will always be a divide.

That’s why the content of one’s character matters so much more than the color of one’s skin.

We need to end this version of slavery in today’s America. After all, we are the land of the free.

In closing, I will share a verse on justice and dishonest gain.

“For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and wrong; I will faithfully give them their recompense, and will make an everlasting covenant with them.” – Isaiah 61:8

God Bless you!

America Resembles England 350 Years Ago.

Let’s look at some examples of persecution in History.

My help comes from the Lord.

The Great Separation is my message about the division in America today.  America’s division has escalated to where we have become two nations in this trying year of 2020, akin to the times of the Civil War. 

In society today, social mores (what’s that?) have all together eroded to a new all-time low, where what’s right is now defined as wrong, and to where what’s wrong is now defined as what’s right (or acceptable), and generally goes unopposed. 

In this episode, we will seek out God’s Word for biblical understanding about the intense political upheaval America is going through.  What should we expect in the very world around us that is undergoing this “Great Separation”?

In many cases, and according to scripture, this separation will penetrate down to family and friends suddenly finding themselves on opposite sides of the dividing line as it pertains to life and Godliness, including:

• Life vs. Death
• Producers vs. Takers
• People who seek truth, beauty, and light vs. people who seek power, hate, & darkness,
• Political party lines (Demon-crats vs. Republicans)

Biblical Reference: Luke 12:50 – 56

⁵⁰ But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! ⁵¹Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division: ⁵²For from henceforth there shall be five in one house divided, three against two, and two against three. ⁵³The father shall be divided against the son, and the son against the father; the mother against the daughter, and the daughter against the mother; the mother in law against her daughter in law, and the daughter in law against her mother in law. ⁵⁴And he said also to the people, When ye see a cloud rise out of the west, straightway ye say, There cometh a shower; and so it is. ⁵⁵And when ye see the south wind blow, ye say, There will be heat; and it cometh to pass. ⁵⁶Ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky and of the earth; but how is it that ye do not discern this time?

• Godly vs UnGodly

In this episode of “The REALLY, Real, Deal”, Reverend Craig explores the nation’s “failure to restrain” evil, and the lack of leadership and action from the Church (including Republican Watchmen, the media, the medical community, the police departments, politicians ,and others), and its consequences.

Judgement comes not only to those who commit acts of evil (sins of commission), but judgment also comes to those who fail to restrain evil (sins of omission).  Refer to God’s Word found in 1 Samuel Ch 3, 

• Demon-crat vs. Republican

In these tense times that we are living in, can we hold fast to being conservative in the teaching and promotion of conservatism?

Our conservative opponents will define us if we fail to define ourselves.  The Democrats define a Conservative as, One who wants to conserve the past, or as, One who is against change.  This is a lie.  True Conservatism is conservation of what God has already created.

Conservatism dates to the relationship between God and man.  So, what does a True Conservative want to conserve?  Simply, the idea that our rights and freedoms come from God, and not from our fellow human beings.

• Life vs Death

In February of 2019 Reverend Craig was the closing speaker to a nation of pro-life supporters as part of the Commonwealth for Life March on Richmond.  Nearly 3,000 grass roots activists traveled near and far, and held an orderly rally on Virginia’s Capitol Square on the steps of Gov. Ralph Northam’s front door.

The rally was held in protest of the Left’s pro-death agenda for infanticide (murder) following Gov. Ralph Northam’s advocacy of “late-term abortion”, which he stated would allow a baby to be “made comfortable” but terminated after birth.

• Producers vs. Takers

Meet Barbara from Harlem. 

Barbara was a generational neo-liberal by default.  She asked no questions and she had no answers. When it came time to vote, she would just reflexively pull the lever to vote for Democrats, which was expected of her.

In her own words, Barbara states that, “Most of my fellow Black Americans do not fully understand what the term “liberal” means, or who or what they are voting for. And, in turn they do not realize how harmful those “liberal” policies are to our freedoms and liberties as Americans.”

• People who seek Truth, Beauty, and Light vs, People who seek Power, Hate, & Darkness

Evangelist Dr. Alveda C. King is a frequent visitor of The REALLY, Real, Deal.

Evangelist King is the daughter of the late slain civil rights activist Rev. A. D. King and his wife Naomi Barber King.

During the years of the Civil Rights Movement, led by her Uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Alveda’s family home was bombed in Birmingham, Alabama in the heat of the struggle. “Daddy’s house was bombed, then in Louisville, Kentucky, his church office was bombed. I was also jailed during the open housing movement,” she recalls.

In commemoration of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.,  and the King family legacy, check out her uncle’s brilliant speech, “The Street Sweeper”.

God bless you,

Reverend Craig

The Return:

National and Global Day of Prayer & Repentance On the National Mall

A few weeks ago, as a broadcast journalist, I had the honor of covering The Return. The Return is a movement, a season, and it was a day of prayer and repentance that occurred in America and around the globe, in state capitals, churches and homes.

The event was organized by Messianic Rabbi Jonathan Cahn, and Kevin Jessip (President of Global Strategic Alliance).

It was a solemn assembly of National Repentance, a sacred gathering on the National Mall, worship, prayer, intercession, and individual and world repentance; with speakers, music, testimonies, prophecy, and declaration.

The event began with the Ten Days of Prayer and Repentance, beginning with the Feast of Trumpets (Rosh Shashanah) and concluded with the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur.

Return to me, and I will return to you, says the Lord of hosts. (Mal 3:7)

America’s Spiritual Window of Opportunity

America was founded upon prayer and was dedicated to God, but has departed from life and godliness. America as we know it is currently on life support, and if the nation does not turn back to God now it may never have the opportunity again. History, reveals that the last time America was called to a solemn assembly was by President Abraham Lincoln for a national day of prayer and fasting, on April 30, 1863.

³ According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:

⁴ Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. (2 Peter 1:3-4)

Its Not About Politics, It’s About Righteousness

The Return was an anointed, spiritual, event that focused on the nation’s repentance and its return to God and His ways. This phenomenal event ws attended by thousands and was open to all people who were interested in seeking the Lord, His will, His forgiveness, and His blessing.

If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Please also consider visiting The Return and donating to support this event. Although the event is over, the organization was forbidden to take up an offering and was left to operate at a deficit.  Nevertheless, God is faithful and will move upon his people, and your financial support would be gratefully received.

Be blessed,

Reverend Craig

Deception, Deceivers & the Deceived

Deception, Deceivers & the Deceived.  Please enjoy this message.  It is the first of a three-part series on this subject.

When was the last time that you felt like most politicians, preachers, media personalities, or lawyers and judges were not a big part of the deceivers?

Is the world getting more deceptive, or are you becoming wiser?

The definitions according to Webster’s dictionary:

• Deception:  The act of causing someone to accept as true or valid what is false or invalid.
• Deceivers:  Those who practice deceit and mislead others.
• Deceived:   Those who believe something that is not true, or a person who fails to admit to themselves that something is true.

The Democrats claim to love all, but are deceivers.  They claim Republicans WANT people to die, because they want a private system of healthcare and not a fully public system.

Who REALLY wants people to die?  Democrats favor aborticide.  Democrats moved viral COVID-19 patients in nursing homes, purposely killing.  Dems favor euthanasia (and even personally told me to take my grandmother home and let her die).

Today’s Deception, Deceivers, Deceived

• Who do you know that is “a deceiver”?
• Who do you know that is part of the “the deceived”?
• Were you ever one of the two?  And, if so, how did you change?
• How can others change?
• Are there groups of people you used to be less likely to look for deception in?  

Who REALLY searches the heart of man?

• A doctor?  White jacket, neck tie and stethoscope.  He can tell you anything.  Dr. Mengele had a white jacket, a tie, and a stethoscope.
• A school teacher?   Thirteen of twenty Antifa thugs arrested were Portland teachers.  All white.  All evil and mean looking, and all hiding behind BLM.
• Preachers who have a form of Godliness (2 Tim 3)?
• What about politicians (John 10)?
• Affirmatively Furthering Fair Housing (AFFH) actually attacks America’s suburbs.

God bless you!
