operation Q

“But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.  Therefore, since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness,  looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?”  

Ben read these words through the dim red glow of the armored transport’s cockpit lighting panel. His team had been training relentlessly for three years on secluded bases owned by the government. Tonight was no different than any other training exercise except that this night they received a “go Q Team” for their operation. 

Ben looked out the bullet-proof porthole as rain clouds, back-lighted by a full moon, lingered in the dark night sky forcing him to use his night vision visor.  Ben was part of an elite team that had been chosen from all branches of the military. He was a marine and proud of it; he was also a Christian man with a wife and three children back home.

 Reaching into his pocket he took out a picture of his children. It was taken on a hot summer day in the local park where they were enjoying swinging, eating ice cream and were full of smiles. It was a happier time when the government allowed families to gather together in public before the Dark State had infiltrated all branches of government.

Ben breathed deeply and let out a sigh. He re-read the verse in his pocket bible “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night” The wet weather along with alternating hot and cold temperatures had brought on a virulent cold and flu season that was rapidly spreading throughout the world. Many countries had locked down their borders some were even under home quarantine.

Ben knew from his bible reading that the world was in a huge spiritual war that had affected the minds and hearts of many leaders around the world. They were part of a system that spurned God and did everything they could to suppress freedom while promoting poverty and suffering. They had been winning this unseen war for many years, but that was about to change.

“The Great Awakening” was God’s plan to retake areas under the control of these dark forces. Ben was one small piece of that puzzle. The team was made up of Generals, Police Captains, Border Agents and the list of good guys went on and on. They had kept the operation secret but now Q Team was on the roll!

Marshall Law had been declared or something that resembled it, a home quarantine where ordinary citizens would be safe from the mass arrests that where coming. The streets were already empty as the armored personnel carrier came to a sudden stop in front of a gated compound owed by a high government official. 

Q Team said a final prayer for the safety of the non combatants, their own families and for themselves. Suddenly it was time to go as military dog handlers surrounded the perimeter and engineers used lasers to silently cut through the gate’s hinges. In a split second Ben’s team was on the move covered from head to toe in body armor equipped with both lethal and non lethal weapons. There was only silence as the team made its way to the side door of the large luxurious mansion.

Without incident the compound was penetrated, arrests made and the team was in route back to base without a shot being fired. The good citizens living around the neighborhood were still asleep and had no knowledge of the operation or that these criminals had been taken into custody. They would eventually discover the truth and be amazed at how such an elaborate plan had been kept secret and unfolded without them knowing.

Once worldwide news networks, governments and local offices were freed from tyranny the world would finally understand how they had been enslaved in a world that was created around them like the walls of a prison. Pain, suffering and the oppression from power would no longer exist. God’s kingdom was coming and the last and final King was about to take His throne!

 Jesus once said that “The truth would set you free!” and it will! He also said “I am the truth, the way and the life and that no man comes to the Father but through Me! God indeed loves us and He is about to return for His children!

Chuck Smith 2010 interview with pastor Dean Kellio

Hear the prophetical interview


In 2010 I had the rare opportunity to interview Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. The interview was a non sanctioned CCCM or Word for Today production but rather a friendly acceptance to be interviewed by a relatively obsure CC pastor Dean Kellio.

The interview, which took place in 2010, was unique because Pastor Chuck was asked about the future of Calvary Chapel given his declining health and ultimate death on October 3, 2013. His answers were prophetical and shed light onto the division that has taken place in the Calvary Chapel movement. They also give us insight to what pastor Chuck Smith wanted to see happen in leadership moving forward.
From the start I was descouraged to proceed to get permission and on several occasions several CC pastors told me I would never get the interview. God had a different idea which included a personal visit where Chuck just smiled and said "yes" to the interview.
My prayer is that this interview would both heal broken relationships amoung the leadersdhip restoring unity to the non denominational ecclesia.

The keys

“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.” I quoted the bible verse into the microphone hanging from a swinging boom in the K-Praise studio.

 “That’s been one of my key verses through the years…I love it!” returned the familiar voice of Pastor Chuck Smith of Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.

It was now late fall 2010 and I had spent many months working on getting an interview with Pastor Chuck Smith. Phone call after phone call along with long threads of emails to Laura Jackson, Pastor Chuck’s secretary, turned up no hope for an interview. However, I was determined to interview the iconic pastor God had used to light the fires of the “Jesus Movement” of the late 1960’s and early 1970’s. 

“No, you will never get an interview with Chuck, I won’t let that happen” said another pastor and colleague and co-host of the call in talk show Pastor’s Perspective.

I was discouraged to say the least, bruised from running into so many roadblocks and walls and could hear the enemy of our souls laughing out-of-control at me. When the echoes stopped I knew in my heart I had to keep knocking on the door at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa. I knew in my head that it would only be God who would eventually open the door.

Later, that same week, I was invited to a pastor’s conference at the Logos building on the campus of Costa Mesa. I climbed into my truck with Pastor David Riley and made the two and a half hour drive to Pastor Chuck’s office. When we arrived at the small gathering I was introduced to Pastor Chuck. I told him I was a candidate for senior pastor at a church in Santee, California, to which he replied “We need a good man there!”

After telling him that I was a teaching pastor at Calvary Chapel La Mesa, he recalled a story of how he almost took a pastor’s position at an Assembly of God in that same city but God had closed that door. Good thing for the Jesus Movement of the 1970’s or else we would not have the teaching that Jesus Christ is our friend, loves us and wants us to have a relationship with Him. Not to mention the hundreds of songs that were written, hundreds of churches that were planted and a large sheepfold full of pastors that were birthed from his being obedient to follow God.

On October 3^rd, 2013 Chuck Smith went home to be with the Lord. Now his personal, hands-on influence is gone and his teaching and leadership style has changed in some of the affiliates. Now some of the new generation leaders believe his system of verse by verse bible teaching has lost its appeal among young people as new ideologies and methods emerge.

There is nothing new about these emergent, seeker friendly churches who spurn bible prophecy and solid doctrine in order to invite the spirit of Jezebel into their sanctuaries. They are actually fulfilling prophecy as the ecumenical, apostate church begins to grow. We are nearing the time in bible prophecy called the 70^th week of Daniel. Are you ready?

In the letter to the church in Philadelphia the apostle John writes “These things says He who is holy, He who is true, He who has the key of David, He who opens and no one shuts, and shuts and no one opens" Revelation 3:7

Jesus has three keys mentioned in Revelation; the key to Hades, the key to death and the key of David. We know that keys both lock and unlock doors. It is interesting that the Romans, at the time of John’s writing, had just developed the first working lock and key configuration. We know that Jesus has the key to death (power over) as He rose to life in the resurrection. We know he has the key to Hades (all authority) where the devil and his fallen angels will be cast and Jesus also has the key of David.

The key of David points to Jesus being of regal birth, royalty and the Everlasting King who alone can unlock the door to His everlasting kingdom. In John 14:6 "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me”

“Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep.” John 10:7 “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” John 10:27

Do you hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and do you follow him? Only Jesus Christ has the key that can open the door that leads to everlasting life!
