Afraid To Bark
By Coach Dave Daubenmire August 2024
Himself King of the Jews. He challenged THEIR au- thority. THEY were the PO- LITICAL leaders of the Jewish nation and they were enraged that Jesus was at- tempting to usurp it. You know, sort of a First Century insurrection against the PO- LITICAL leaders of the Jew- ish Nation.
The “silence of the lambs” has placed our nation in the position we find our- selves in today. The Amer- ican Church, the voice of the LION of the tribe of Judah, has developed
laryngitis at the time when America most needed to hear it roar. Everything you see happening today is being done with the ap- proval of the local church.
But, Pilate smelled a trap. He knew he had no author- ity over Jesus or the Jewish people. They had their own government that co-existed with Caesar’s government. “TAKE HIM TO CAESAR” the ‘political’ Jews screamed! ‘We have no law to put a man to death!’” The “Church” bowed their knee to secular government and requested that “Caesar” do the Sanhedrin’s dirty work. Oh, Jesus was involved with politics all right. It cost Him His life. Jesus Christ…the sacrificial LION KING! So, you say, Coach Dave, what does that have to do with us today? Everything. In Matthew 28, Jesus made it very clear HIS FOLLOWERS were to GOVERN the earth. Today we label it the Great Commission… GO…and teach the Great Commandment… TEACH. Go and teach…that is what Jesus told His followers to do. Is that what we are doing today, my Christian friend? “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, ‘All power is given unto Me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have com- manded you: and, lo, I am with you al- ways, even unto the end of the world. Amen.’” Somewhere along the road, the Christian American Church ran into the ditch. Pastors no longer teach “OC- CUPY” and
are we going to “teach all nations” when He is not permitted in our schools? Instead, we pay the Devil’s workers to teach “doctrines of demons” in our “Government” schools. Are we “earnestly contending for the faith once delivered to the saints?” I could go on…but I have said enough. Christ is the CONQUERING KING — not the conquered King. He is King of Kings and Lord of Lords RIGHT NOW. There is no such thing as a SECULAR nation. Jesus is LORD — whether we acknowledge it or not. How about YOUR Pastor? Does He know how to bark? Why don’t you ask Him? It is time to flush him out. Satan’s kids are mutilating children. Mur- dering the pre-born. Promoting same sex anal sex. Locking up Christian men without a trial. Publicly blaspheming Christ’s fin- ished work on the cross. Hardly a peep from the pulpit. There are churches on every corner, yet the Central Figure of Western Civilization…the Man by which ALL TIME is measured… BC/AD…Jesus Christ…gets less respect than Taylor Swift.
Prove me wrong.
The prophet Isaiah tells us that HIS WATCHMEN are AFRAID TO BARK. Isaiah 56. Has there ever been a more cowardly group of Christian ministers in the pulpits of America than there are today? The Ameri- can Revolution was led by a spunky group of New Englanders known as the BLACK- ROBED REGIMENT. French historian Alexis de Tocqueville is reported to have said: “I sought for the great- ness and genius of America in her demo- cratic Congress and her matchless Constitution, and it was not there. Not until I went into the churches of America and heard her pulpits flame with righteousness did I understand the secret of her genius and power. America is great because she is good, and if America ever ceases to be good, she will cease to be great.” The American pulpit has let us down. Let history record that the American pulpit stood mutedly by, afraid to bark, as the en- emies of Christ plundered what Christian men had built. The “Gospel of Tolerance and Prosperity” has turned the Lion into a lamb. It is interesting to note that the Bible teaches that Jesus Christ was referenced as BOTH a LION and a LAMB in the Holy Writ. But how can that be? He is the LION of the Tribe of Judah and He is the LAMB of GOD who takes away the sins of the world. Jesus, through His Church, is both the DEFENDER and the SACRIFICE. What a di- chotomy. I often run into people who complacently say “Jesus didn’t get involved in politics.” Their ignorance astounds me. Jesus lost His life by engaging in the politics of His day.
No Bark…just Baaa…what a pathetic bunch we Christians have become.

GREAT BIBLICAL INSIGHTS from
“FIGHT”…but “SUB- MIT” and “OBEY.” The Luciferian-con- trolled government has usurped all the power given by Christ to HIS DISCIPLES — Us. Me and you. Right here. Right now. Today! Christ is ruling and reigning over all the earth TODAY.
Permit me to explain.
The Roman magistrate Pontius Pilate is credited with sentencing Jesus to death, and that is true. But Pilate only did so at the re- quest of the RELIGIOUS leaders. The Phar- isees and the Sadducees were the POLITICAL rulers of the Jews. When Jesus challenged their POLITICAL power…declar- ing Himself KING OF THE JEWS, He entered the political realm. The religious honchos didn’t like that. Jesus was not a Roman. He was a Jew. The religious leaders took him to Pilate because only Pilate could sentence Him to death. The Jewish leaders were mad because Christ was usurping THEIR power by declaring
Why doesn’t the
church act like it?
Was Jesus lying to us? Did He not have all power? Did He falsely delegate power that He didn’t have to His Body? Are we not supposed to OCCUPY the gates of authority until He comes? How
