Memories Of My Friend Billy Joe Daugherty

By Rev. Johnny Lee Clary






Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty
April 23rd, 1952-Nov. 22nd, 2009

Today is a very sad day for me. As I write this on Nov. 22nd, 2009, I just received news an hour ago that after a month long battle with cancer, Pastor Billy Joe Daugherty, one of the world’s best known pastors, passed away early this morning and moved up to his eternal home in heaven. He was 57 years old. He was my pastor for many years before I moved away from Tulsa in 2007. He was not only my pastor, but my mentor and my personal friend. He pastured one of the largest churches in the nation, Victory Christian Center in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

This man was my friend. No , I can’t claim that I was one of his closest friends in the world, or that I was a part of his inner circle of best friends, but I did share a friendship on a personal level with him that was very valuable and taught me a lot about living a life for God. I would like to share some of those memories I have of him with you if you will let me.

Billy Joe Daugherty believed in me when others did not. I was the former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan, and I quit the Klan and came to his church in 1990. I dedicated my life to God and learned under his ministry. Still there were those who believed that God would never save a former KKK member and certainly would not use him in the ministry. There were a few people who wanted me to leave but Billy Joe wanted me to stay. He had me preach for him several times and even lost a few church members who resented him continuing to support me and have me preach from his pulpit. He never abandoned me as a friend, even when I was hard to love. We once had a disagreement back in 1998, and I didn’t speak to him for a few months. He called me up on the phone and I was sort of rude to him, but he said, “Johnny I am thinking of you, I love you, miss you and you are always welcome back at the church. If I have done anything wrong to you Johnny, please forgive me.” With arrogance, I thanked him for calling and didn’t ask him for forgiveness.

A few weeks later, a girl who was a close friend of mine who attended Billy Joe’s church, committed suicide. I was devastated. I was thinking about walking away from the ministry about the time this happened. I was driving my car with tears in my eyes, when suddenly I felt the need to talk to Billy Joe. As I pulled up in front of his house, he walked out onto the front porch in his socks, and in spite of all I had said and did to him, he held his arms out to hug me as I walked up onto his porch. We sat and talked for the longest time, and he explained things to me that I don’t believe anyone else could have at that point in my life. I asked forgiveness for the way I had treated him. He forgave me and still believed in me. I asked him if I could come back to the church and he said “Of course you can!” Not only did I come back but he put me in the ministerial fellowship of International Charismatic Bible Ministries on which he was on the board. He made a beautiful video in 2006 about choosing to forgive in which featured himself, me and the late Rev. Wade Watts that you can see on youtube.com.

Pastor Billy Joe loved me and taught me the ways of God, and not the ways of man. There are some people who are on this earth today who can give a special prayer of thanks to God for Billy Joe taking the time to help me grow in God, because if it were not for what Billy Joe invested in me, some of them would have had broken jaws, their butts kicked, their houses burned down and maybe even worse because of what they did to me. I wasn’t exactly a nice little wimp when I was head of the KKK. I had been used to being a leader and in gang life all my life, in addition to being a pro wrestling champion, so it would take me awhile to renew my mind after I got saved and some church people did not take this into consideration. They kept pushing me on more than one occasion simply because either they were jealous of my ministry or just plain didn’t like me. Billy Joe was always there and saw it for himself and Billy Joe always told me, “Johnny Lee, see to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.” (Hebrews 12:15)

He never got bitter at anyone. I used to needle at him sometimes just to see how far I could push his buttons but he never lost his cool. At the church one night, I showed up with a whoopee cushion, a hand buzzer and some other things I purchased at a novelty joke shop. I went to shake his hand with that hand buzzer and he jumped about 4 feet in the air, but he didn’t get mad. A rather large lady did though when I placed the whoopee cushion in her seat and she told Billy Joe I needed to act my age and not my shoe size! Ha Ha! I got Pastor Sharon with the hand buzzer too and Billy Joe came looking for me outside the entrance door and then told me to behave myself! He didn’t get mad and said it with a half smile but I didn’t bring the joke stuff back to church anymore after that either. He was a pastor to me in making sure I was taught the word of God and since I have a worldwide public ministry also, he took the time to make sure that I represented Jesus in the right way. After all, I was a member of his church and whatever I did reflected on him. He made sure I was grounded in God’s word before releasing me into the ministry. He ordained me. He supported me. He was mentor to me and even when busy he took the time to call if I needed him or to go to lunch with me. He chastised me when I needed it and encouraged me when I needed it. There was that time that my ex-girlfriend Cynthia and I showed up at the church picnic with non-alcoholic beer and I teased Billy Joe asking him if he would like a beer! He gave me this look and then we told him it was non-alcoholic. He made the point to me that we knew that, and now he knew that, but does everyone else know that one of the ministers was drinking non-alcoholic beer? He explained about abstaining from the appearance of evil and causing people to be a stumbling block. ( 1 Thess. 5:22; Romans 14:13) I put it away after that.

He used to do imitations of Flipper the Dolphin when he preached years ago, and he could do that like no other. I bought him a Flipper ink pen that made the Flipper sound when you pressed the button. He got the biggest kick out of that. Then there was the time it snowed during a Wednesday night service and I ran outside after church and made snowballs and was pelting people and people were inside the door and told Pastor Billy Joe I was on the loose with snowballs. He came outside and made some of his own and threw them back at me. Being a former football player he had better aim than I did! I lost that battle!

Billy Joe used to take me with him to go do crusades in the low-income projects of North Tulsa, which is about 99% African American. I walked around knocking on doors with him to invite people to the tent revival. I never will forget what happened. He knocked on a door where you could smell the marijuana smoke and three big black dudes who looked like gang members came to the door and Billy Joe said “Praise the Lord guys! Look who I have here! I want you to meet the former Imperial Wizard of the Ku Klux Klan!” My heart almost dropped. I was not packing a gun and the first thought in my mind was “I’m dead!” Then one of the Black guys threw open the door, and reached out towards me and smiled and said, “Hey I saw you on TV! Let me shake your hand!” Two of the men came to the tent and listened to my testimony and gave their lives to Jesus when Billy Joe gave the alter call. He always was led of the Holy Spirit and seemed to know exactly what he was doing.

The first time Billy Joe invited me to preach for him at Victory to do a Sunday night service, I asked him if I could invite Rev. Wade Watts to come speak with me. He said that was a great idea! There was a group of people who attended Victory that hated me and they began to pray against the meeting and for God to open Billy Joe’s eyes as to what kind of evil person I was and to cancel the meeting. Of course they were praying this behind Pastor Billy Joe’s back. They didn’t dare say it to him. The meeting was advertised all over town and there was a big flashing marquee in front of the ORU Mabee Center that had our names on it. The KKK in Tulsa got wind of the meeting and sprung into action. Two twin brothers, Dennis and Daniel Mahon who were once my right hand guys when I was in the Klan, snuck into ORU Mabee Center and being experienced electricians they burned out the wiring system causing $300,000.00 worth of damages. There were no lights in the building when we pulled up in front and fire trucks were everywhere. The people who were praying against the meeting were dancing and jumping up and down slapping each other the “high five” thanking God for answering their prayers and canceling the meeting. $300,000.00 damage and these so-called “Christians” were celebrating! They celebrated too soon though, as Pastor Billy Joe drove up and told us to move everything across the street to the gymnasium and we would have the meeting there. Being a denominational pastor, Rev. Watts was not raised in the word of faith circles. He was not familiar with positive confessions all the time so when Pastor Billy Joe walked in the room, Rev. Watts stood to his feet, and said, “Pastor Billy Joe, I’ve been to Alabama and the Devil was there. I’ve been to Mississippi and the Devil was there. I’ve been to Georgia and the Devil was there. Now I’ve come here to Oral Roberts University, and the Devil is here.” Pastor Billy Joe immediately looked at Rev. Watts and said, “No Sir Rev. Watts! The Devil is not here! We ran the Devil out of here! We are giving no ground to the Devil! This place belongs to Jesus and we give Him glory!” Rev. Watts said “Oh OK.” I took Pastor Billy Joe aside and said, “Billy Joe, Rev. Watts doesn’t understand the Word of Faith,” and Billy Joe said, “I had to say something to him otherwise he would have went out there on that stage and told everyone that and would have alienated half that crowd.” Billy Joe was 100% right. Rev. Watts gave to no credit to the Devil that night when he spoke. We had 2000 in attendance and 200 people got saved at the altar call! To God Be The Glory like Billy Joe said!

As for the wiring job the Mahon’s did to ORU’s Mabee Center, the insurance cut a check for a million dollars and ORU rewired the entire Mabee Center and was able to purchase some additional items that were needed too! Dennis Mahon drove over to Billy Joe’s house one night and claimed to have put White Supremacist racist literature all over Billy Joe’s house and under the windshield wipers of their family vehicles. He also bragged that he cut one of Billy Joe’s tires on his car. I told Mahon he needed to get his life right with Christ and repent and he refused. Billy Joe told me to stay away from Mahon because he was crazy and to have nothing else to do with him. I followed Billy Joe’s advice and never spoke to Mahon again. In the spring of 2009, the FBI surrounded the home of both Dennis and Daniel Mahon in an early morning dawn raid and arrested them both as they were charged with mailing a letter bomb to a Black man in Arizona which exploded, crippling his hand. If he had turned the box the opposite way he would have had his chest penetrated with shrapnel and most likely would have died. They both are being held without bail and face spending the rest of their lives in prison. As Billy Joe always preached what the word says, “Touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm. (1 Chronicles 16:22) The Mahon brothers reaped the seeds they had sown. (Galatians 6:7)

Billy Joe Daugherty amazed me on more than one occasion. Once a guy hit him at the altar call and as Billy Joe turned around to walk away he hit him again, and then security grabbed him. Billy Joe was bleeding and just kept right on preaching. Billy Joe didn’t want to press charges but the police did. He went to see the man in jail and the man refused to repent and even threatened him again. Later the man wrote Billy Joe a letter apologizing .

Another time Billy Joe amazed me was when Rev. Watts and myself were invited back to preach in 1996 and I took the service myself because Rev. Watts didn’t make it. He had been battling diabetes and gangrene had set in and so the day before we were scheduled to preach, his leg was amputated. On Monday morning I went over to Billy Joe’s house and picked him up in my car and we drove to McAlester, Oklahoma to visit Rev. Watts in the hospital. He was lying in his bed cracking jokes as Billy Joe and I walked into the room. Billy Joe told me on the way home that Rev. Watts had a special spirit about him, to be able to joke after having his leg cut off. He told me he personally could not do that and be in that good of mood and I told him I couldn’t either. As we were visiting with Rev. Watts, the Sheriff walked in. Rev. Watts went to introduce the Sheriff and he recognized Pastor Billy Joe and then turned to me and said, “You don’t remember me do you?” I replied, “I think so. You look familiar.” The Sheriff said, “I was on the Highway Patrol (State Police) back years ago when you were down here with the Klan harassing Rev. Watts. I came up and started telling you and your gang off for passing out those KKK pamphlets.” “Oh yes,” I replied. “You were the cop that after I told you we were in our legal rights to distribute the pamphlets, you said if you even found one on the ground you were going to hold me responsible and arrest me for littering. I think the fine was up to a thousand dollars, so we all packed up our sheets and left.” The Sheriff replied, “Very good memory! Yep..that was me!” The following Sunday Billy Joe was preaching. His services are carried on national TV. He told the story about how he and I went down to visit Rev. Watts and met the Sheriff. Billy Joe was telling how he stood back and listened to the conversation and said suddenly he realized that all those stories Rev. Watts and I had been telling were true! I said to him after the service, “Billy Joe you have known me now for a few years and you mean to tell me that you weren’t sure if my stories were true or not?” Billy Joe laughed and said, “Well Johnny Lee if I ever had a doubt in my mind, I don’t now! I’m a believer!” Ha Ha!

Pastor Billy Joe was really tired that morning and Pastor Sharon had made me promise that I would not keep him talking all the way down to McAlester as it was a long drive. She told me that if he wanted to sleep to let him. As soon as Billy Joe got in my car he kicked off his shoes and reclined his seat and went to sleep. I am one of these drivers that just can’t seem to drive without music, but I had to that day because I didn’t want to keep him awake. I had lots of questions to ask him and due to the fact that he pastored one of the largest churches in the USA, he didn’t always have a whole lot of time available so I wanted to use this time for talk. I had promised Pastor Sharon though, that I would not keep him awake talking so I felt it was more important to keep my word to her, so I didn’t disturb him on the way down but he was wide awake returning so I got most of my questions answered on the way home.

We discussed a lot of things that day. I was a little egocentric at that time in my life when it came to dating, as I had four different girls that liked me from the church, all at the same time. I liked all 4 of them. Three were on Pastor Sharon’s praise and worship team and one was in the church band. They were all fighting over who was going to get to be my girlfriend. I was such a player in those days. I remember telling Billy Joe that I found it hard being attractive and the object of desire for so many girls. Pastor Billy Joe shook his head and explained to me in so many words that I needed to come down off my high horse and realize that it is the anointing the girls were attracted to and not because I was some sort of modern day Elvis or something along those lines. He also explained to me of why I needed to set boundaries when it came to dating and conduct myself as a man of God. I didn’t end up with any of those girls after that.

Billy Joe also showed me how humble he was that day. I told him how I had been to Higher Dimensions church and how Pastor Carlton Pearson was driving a gold-plated black Cadillac and the Gospel singer Carman was driving a gold-plated Alexis. I asked him if I should upgrade my 86 Lincoln Towncar to keep up with ministry trends, and questioned him of why he only drove a 1991 Chevrolet Lumina when his church was 10 times larger than Pearson’s. Billy Joe told me that if that is what those guys felt they needed to do that was up to them but his car was worth a million dollars to him. I asked for him to explain and he did. He told me that if he needed to raise money to feed the poor or anything to get the gospel around the world, the people who give are not going to be hindered in their giving because of what he drives. He told me I had nothing to be ashamed about driving an older car. He said, “Your car is old but it is nice and well kept and people will not be hesitant to help you get the gospel out if they don’t see you driving a gold plated Cadillac.” He taught me a valuable lesson that day. Our job is to represent God and gain God’s approval, not man’s.

He practiced what he preached in not only what he drove, but also lived in a regular modest house, and he and Sharon shopped at Wal-Mart all the time. When I was invited to Carlton Pearson’s wedding, it was by invitation only. Many well-known ministers from around the world were there. I was given a seat on one of the last two rows in the back. I saw some very well known preachers come in and ask the ushers to seat them in the front. Then Billy Joe and Sharon walked in. One of the ushers immediately recognized them and asked if they wanted to be taken to the front, and Billy Joe said, “No, we will just sit here in the back next to Johnny Lee.”

You see, my friend Billy Joe Daugherty was not about being recognized and being given superstar status. To him there was but ONE Superstar and His name is Jesus.


Well these were just some stories of memories I will always have of my friend, Billy Joe Daugherty. I will say now what I have said to other friends and loved ones that have gone on before. This isn’t good-bye but so long for now. I will see you again, Billy Joe!

There is an old Jewish saying that goes something like "He who finds a faithful friend, finds a treasure." Well I can truly say I found a treasure in Billy Joe Daugherty, because his friendship was a treasure, and the things I learned from him, I shall keep in my heart, soul, mind, and walk with God forever. This is just my story of a great man God allowed me to know in life, who was perhaps one of the greatest of God’s Generals that ever lived. You can ask anyone who knew him and they would agree. That’s my story and tribute to my friend, Billy Joe Daugherty.

GET YOUR HEALING FROM THE DOCTOR

By Rev. Johnny Lee Clary

The Bible is very clear about Jesus healing today. Too many negative nincompoops are out there teaching that healing was for Jesus’ day but not for today. They even go so far as to say that sickness in our bodies was put there by God for punishment of some sort. Nothing can be further from the truth. There is a variety of reasons people get sick, but we don’t need to go into all of them except to say that a lot, not all, but a lot of sickness is the result of the choices that we make, like lack of exercise, improper foods, use of drugs and alcohol, etc. Then there are some that just seem to develop illnesses and they seem to have done everything in their power to prevent sickness. Some illnesses are better left to be explained by doctors and some illnesses there just seems to be no explanation for. What I do know is that Jesus is still in the healing business today just like He was when He walked the earth in bodily form.

If you serve Jesus then you serve a healing Jesus. Mathew 4:23 says that Jesus went about Galilee teaching, preaching and healing all the sickness and disease that the people had. Now if you believe the Bible to be truth, then you must also believe Hebrews 13:8 that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. That means He still heals today. If you say He does not then you do not believe the Bible and certainly do not follow the Jesus of the Bible. You therefore are an unbeliever. If you say Jesus does not heal today then you are calling Jesus a liar. Well, Jesus is no liar. The liars are the ones who say Jesus doesn’t heal today.

The life of Jesus showed nothing but compassion and love. Since He laid down His life by going to the cross for mankind, why in the world would someone dare think He doesn’t love people enough to heal them? Greater love has no man than He who lay down His life for a friend. (John 15:13)

Now let me make it perfectly clear that no man can heal anyone. It takes Jesus to do the healing. Now I can just hear the agnostics and heathens saying right now that doctors heal people. My answer to that is the doctors would not have the knowledge or the medicines to heal if it were not for the knowledge that God gave them to develop those medicines and do those operations. End of argument.

Now I have witnessed many people going to faith healers and even waiting in long lines for hours because they wanted healing from a sickness. Now some people would say that they are not looking to the man for healing, but if that were so then why do they wait in those long lines instead of just going to their local church or gathering up some fellow believers for the prayer for the healing? You see, some get all caught up in the hype of the big name minister that has a reputation for faith healings in his meetings that they forget that Jesus is the one doing the healing and not the faith healer. I like what Benny Hinn once said when Larry King asked him on TV how many people he had healed. Hinn replied, “Not one Larry. Jesus is the healer not me.” Because of that attitude I believe that is why God has blessed Hinn so much. We need to develop those same attitudes.

Matthew 14:35-36: “The men there recognized Jesus and sent messengers all around the countryside. The people brought him everyone who was sick. They begged him to let them touch just the edge of his clothes. Everyone who touched his clothes was healed.” This scripture should always remind us to reach out to Jesus and look to Him for the healing.

Psalm 30:2 “O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.” When we pray to Him and believe Him for the answer that is when we see the results. We have to do our part too, like not only prayer and belief in Jesus to do the healing but also we have eat healthy and make the right decisions and listen to our doctors.

In early 2008 I had a physical done and was told I had about 6 years left to live. I was told I was borderline diabetic, had high blood pressure, gout, overweight, and super high triglycerides. The doctor said with those conditions it was nearly impossible to live past six years. However, he also told me that if I would make the necessary adjustments and exercise, change my eating habits and lose weight I could live several more years. I made some changes. Now in 2009, I had all the tests redone and they all came out with no diabetes, uric acid levels OK, blood pressure under control, and triglycerides good and everything else just fine. Yes I made some adjustments but I didn’t lose all that much weight, only a little. The main thing was prayer. Prayer got results. It still is getting results too!

James 5:16 “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” You can pray for yourself to be healed and you can also pray for others who are sick as James told us to.

He’s the same today! Jesus still heals today. Therefore do not listen to those ninnies that say Jesus does not heal and start listening to what the Word of God says, and then you can have your healing.

Get your healing from the Doctor!

Doctor Jesus that is!

FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN GOD'S WRESTLING RING

By Rev. Johnny Lee Clary




No matter where I travel, whether it be in the USA or another nation, I am always running into people who are confused about the calling of God upon their life. Either they are working hard to fulfill the calling of God upon their lives or they are just sitting idly by doing nothing to help advance the Kingdom.

I can’t count how many people I have met in my 20 years in the ministry that tell me they once felt they were called of God to preach, or go on the mission field, or pastor a church or sing or play music. So what’s the problem? Most people do not take that step towards accomplishing what God has called them to do because of fear. If they have fear then they are not trusting God to lead, order and direct their steps like the word says. (Proverbs 3:5)

Sometimes they listen to the wrong people who discourage them from following what they feel God has called them to do. What they do not take into consideration is that most of the people who say you can’t walk on water have never even gotten out of the boat. If I had listened to all of the idiots including my own family members who told me I would never be a preacher and I was stupid for thinking that I could be, then hundreds of thousands of souls would not be saved today. I had one relative tell me I would never amount to anything and today she is way out in left field with a mind all burned out from drugs. Another relative has battled multiple marriages and alcoholism and yet another relative is a left wing backslidden Christian who is a chronic gambler. All of them told me I would never amount to anything. Glad I didn’t listen to them!

God has not given us the spirit of fear. If God didn’t give it to us then fear is of Satan. Satan is the creator of fear and he created it because he does not want you doing God’s will. Satan is not big enough or powerful enough to stop God but he can stop Christians from doing God’s will if he can put enough fear into them where they become cowards and make the choice to stop themselves. I had my fill of fear when I was young. I saw it all. My father committed suicide in front of me. My sister let her boyfriend beat the hell out of me all the time. I had to live in East L.A., in gang ridden territory. I was chased and beaten by gangs. I joined the KKK and looked to the White brotherhood for protection.

I lived a life of hate and violence before coming to the Lord. I have faced down rival gangs, been shot at, been in knife fights, gang brawls, barroom brawls, survived contract hits, faced down literally thousands of counter-demonstrators at White supremacist marches, and survived attacks from the Black Panthers, Black Muslims, Communists, KKK, Nazis, gangs, and just about every type of enemy you can think of.

After I became a Christian, if I was naive enough to think that the attacks would stop, then I was living in fantasyland. I was attacked a lot. This time though, the attacks came from so-called ‘Christians’ who again told me I would never be a preacher, I was an idiot, since I was once a Klansman I would always be a Klansman because God does not forgive people who used to be KKK members, and I have had these people attack me for twenty years and they have never let up. However, the key to it all is that I have never let those jerks get the best of me. I have no fear of them and never will. Why in the world would I fear a bunch of busybodies nerds with big mouths when I faced and defeated some of the meanest gang members and hate-mongers from Bad Street USA? Besides I fear no man. I used to fight in bars and in the gang wars. Oh yes I got beat a few times, but the person who beat me almost always regretted it. If I couldn’t take someone with my hands I would come back with a baseball bat. If I couldn’t take them with a baseball bat, I would come back with an army. If I couldn’t take them with an army then I would come back with fire and I am not talking about the Holy Ghost fire because I wasn’t saved back then. I will leave that to your imagination. People hated making my list. I am talking about the list of people who lived to regret underestimating the old me before I was born again. The people who have attacked me since I was saved, have got a lot to be thankful for especially that I am truly saved, redeemed and walking in the ways of the Lord. Otherwise…well we will leave that to the imagination too! They just better hope I never backslide!

So what is my secret? It’s no secret..it is a recipe. It is found in the word of God. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding! (Prov. 3:5-6) I don’t care who opposes me! They are not bigger than God who is bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears; God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.

Fear is not some big giant wrestler who is bigger than the Holy Ghost which resides in you. You can face fear anytime day or night because God is with you! God plus one is the majority! The 14 year old little shepherd boy David was not in fear of Goliath because he knew he had God on his side. He defeated the giant and later became king of Israel! If he would have let fear control him, we never would have heard of him, and he certainly would never have been king.

You need to tell old Satan that the Holy Ghost power makes you the boss and he and his demons can get lost!

You need to remember that God is on your side, He is your tag team partner, and he is looking out for you! If God has given you a calling, go for it baby! Stop letting fear get in your way! When people try to discourage you tell them to go play on the freeway! Be a God-pleaser not a man-pleaser!

If God calls you He equips you. When God gives the vision He gives the provision!

You don’t want to be branded a coward for the rest of your life do you? You can’t be recognized if you don’t get in the fight. I wrestled a 6-man tag team match one night and me and one of my tag team partners carried most of the match while the other guy left the ring and went to the bathroom! He didn’t return until the last minute of the match and me and my regular partner won when he gave a clothesline to one guy, I hit the other with a chair and dropped the third guy with a DDT face first on the mat. The referee raised all three of our hands in victory and we turned to our partner who was M.I.A. (Missing In Action) and said “Where were you pal? “ He tried to give some excuse and said, “Hey I had you all’s backs man!” We told him where he could stuff it and that he had no part in our victory!

God is the head promoter. He has called you to step into the wrestling ring. If you take a powder and go back to the dressing room like a girlie man, then don’t expect to share in any glory. You may make it to heaven but you won’t get any rewards or recognition, and you certainly won’t wear a crown like those who did what God told them to and didn’t let fear get in the way!

FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN GOD’S WRESTLING RING!

2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

If you have a sound mind, go get in the ring!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE in Jailing Drug Pushers

Ottawa County Ministerial Alliance
P.O. Box 1456
Miami, Ok. 74355

We of the Ottawa Country Ministerial Alliance would like to thank our law enforcement and the OBN (Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics) for Operation Wardog in which over 70 arrest warrants were issued in Miami and the surrounding areas. As law abiding citizens, we have a right to live in a community where the streets are safe for our children to play on, without fear of drug pushers selling drugs, drug addicts breaking into our homes, and meth labs being operated in our neighborhoods.


In this day and age when children need heroes to look up to, Hollywood has been glorifying drug pushers through movies and TV shows which send the wrong message to young people that they can get rich quick and live lavish lifestyles by dealing drugs. They fail to point out that by making the wrong choices in life, they not only destroy their own futures but those of friends and loved ones that are affected by their choice to sell, manufacture or use drugs as well.


As District Attorney Eddie Wyant stated most of the drug dealers were young in their late teens and early twenties and it is sad to see that they made the wrong choices to start their lives off with a prison and felony record that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. This will affect their job opportunities and standings in communities as well. As ministers of the gospel in the Ottawa County Ministerial Alliance we pray for those who have made these choices that they learn from the mistakes and the price they will now have to pay as the consequences of their actions. We also pray for all families in our community that they become aware of the drug problems in our area and allow Operation Wardog as well as future drug sting operations to serve as a lesson to young people that crime does not pay.


These brave men and women of law enforcement who put their lives on the line on a daily basis are the real heroes for our children to look up to and admire. Let us all keep our law enforcement officers in our prayers for their safety and may God bless them for their outstanding work that they do to serve and protect us in our daily lives to make our area drug free!

Bill Keller's Senseless Godless Attack On Glenn Beck

By Rev. Johnny Lee Clary



Bill Keller is a minister that has a rather large email/Internet ministry. Many have received encouragement from his emails, and he is faithful to send them out every day. Although Keller is quite capable of sending out a good strong word to encourage people he is also quite capable of being mean-spirited, judgmental and just plain downright hateful. He has attacked one of the nation’s leading conservative talk show personalities, Glenn Beck and this is one American Conservative Patriot that will not stand for seeing Glenn Beck kicked around like this. I would expect that sort of behavior Keller has displayed from a hippie left wing socialist Obama supporter, but not from someone who masquerades as a “Christian Conservative.” Keller cites the reason that he is attacking Beck is because Beck refers to himself as a Christian. Keller insists that Beck is not a Christian and is of Satan because Beck happens to be a Mormon.

Now I am also a public figure just like Keller but I am not as well known as Beck. I absolutely totally respect Glenn Beck and admire and champion him as someone who really cares about the people of America. I respect Keller also but not when he writes garbage like he did about Beck. Beck is trying to do something to save America from the clutches of a Communist-Muslim takeover, but Keller is more interested in seeking to attack Beck than save America from the godless liberals.

Keller discredits and attacks Beck and says Mormons are in the same category as Muslims. Maybe Mr. Keller needs to educate himself and spend more time researching before he writes such things because I for one have never heard of Mormons high-jacking airplanes and flying them into buildings killing thousands. I have never heard of Mormons cutting off the heads of those who refuse to convert to Mormonism, and I have also never heard of Mormon suicide bombers seeking to wipe Israel off the map by killing all the Jews.

Keller states that Beck and all Mormons believe that non-Mormons are "abominations." This is a lie and Mr. Keller needs to repent for saying such a thing. As a public figure there is a lot of advertisement and news stories put out when I go speak in churches, due to my background of being delivered from racism and from being the national leader of the KKK, and becoming a minister of racial reconciliation, advocating Civil Rights for all races. Many Mormons have come to hear my testimony and many have approached me and told me they were really touched. Yes I am sure that there are some Mormons who believe they are the only true way to God and that display self-righteous attitudes. However I have met many so-called Denominational Christians who say the same thing about their particular church or denomination. Keller needs to see how narrow-minded and judgmental he really is in making statements like that.

Keller actually attacked and said the same thing about Mitt Romney in 2008. I am sure some people didn’t vote for Romney based on what they might have read in Keller’s blogs. The bottom line was McCain failed at beating Obama, and Romney might have won because he is a great debater and would have put Obama on the defense. As one of the most successful businessmen in the USA, Romney would have offered an economic solution to the problems we face today whereas Obama has nearly destroyed our nation. I guess Keller would much rather have a godless Muslim in the White House than a Mormon. That goes against everything Keller has ever taught about Islam.

Now with war veterans sleeping in cardboard boxes under bridges, crime in the streets, unemployment at astronomical numbers, abortions skyrocketing, homosexuals getting the right to have same sex marriages, drug pushers taking over entire neighborhoods, illegal aliens flooding over our borders, a government no longer feeling bound to protect or to be sympathetic towards Israel, and a president that says America is no longer a Christian nation; Keller would rather spend his time and energy attacking a conservative patriotic American who is doing a great job of rallying the people to reject this communist Health Care plan, and to unite Conservatives all over America, and that is not right!

In the same article of his attack on Beck, Keller has also attacked Gov. Mike Huckabee accusing him of selling out the people by being more concerned about his FOX NEWS TV show that running for President in 2012. He has attacked the number one Christian patriot women’s speaker in the USA, Ann Coulter, as well as Dr. James Dobson and Rev. Pat Robertson. He slams FOX News so he must be for the alternative CNN which should stand for Communist News Network.

Keller also criticizes Mormons for keeping gay marriage out of California. What is wrong with that? Could it be that Keller is in league with Ted Haggard, Roberts Liarden and some of the other boys from the “Church Of Brokeback Mountain?” If not then why would he dare to attack anyone that would be instrumental in saving California from the fate of legalized same sex perverted marriages? Something to ponder.

Keller did a great job of taking a stand against the Satanic Cult of Islam a few years ago, and if he feels called to try to demolish that cult, then by all means he should stick to that curriculum. He needs to leave Beck alone and allow Beck to continue doing the great job he is doing in finally bringing unity to Conservatives world-wide. When the greatest godly President that ever served America, Ronald Reagan was elected, he didn’t go around speaking division; he spoke unity in order to get elected! Conservatives all over the USA, including Mormons, Baptists, Pentecostals, Catholics, Methodists and others all united as the Moral Majority, under the leadership of great men like Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson, and helped sweep a peanut farmer all the way back to Plains, Georgia, by putting a Christian in the White House for 8 years. Keller should learn from the past and stop this senseless brutal attack on men like Beck and Romney. If Keller is not for conservative unity, then he is against it and that my friends, puts Bill Keller on the same side of the godless liberals.


Keller has made an appeal to his readers to write Glenn Beck as well as his producer and beg them to have him on Glenn’s show for a debate. I appeal to Glenn Beck and his producer that if they choose to allow that to happen, then please bring me on with Keller and I will put Bill Keller in his place once and for all. Mr. Beck won’t have to. By the time I get done with Keller, he will wish he would have stayed at home because I will expose him as the bigot that he is. I am asking you to email and ask them to have me on the show also if they are going to have Keller on. You can email Beck and his producer at:

Glenn Beck: me@glennbeck.com
Stu (Executive Producer): stu@glennbeck.com

As a leading speaker for racial reconciliation and one of the top evangelists in the world, I, Rev. Johnny Lee Clary wish to state that Glenn Beck makes me proud to be an American!

Fake Preachers: How To Recognize Them

By Rev. Johnny Lee Clary

The world is full of fake preachers. Some have small churches and some have large churches. Some are well known TV celebrities and some are not. Ok, so how does one recognize them? Do you know how? Can you and your family tell the difference between a genuine real man of God or a fake charlatan? Any parent in their right mind would go to any lengths to protect their children from pedophiles and dope pushers. In the same respect, you have a responsibility as a parent to protect your family against these fakes and their heresies they teach from their pulpits. “See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)

Jesus said we would know them by their fruits. "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them.” (Matthew 7:15-16)

One thing to watch out for is they often impose rules and regulations upon their congregation and attempt to control their personal lives. When the preacher starts imposing rules such as asking permission to miss church, watch out! He might even say that single women should look at him as their “spiritual father” and forbid them to date without his permission and approval of the man they are dating. Fake preachers try to control you both inside and outside the church doors. 

My wife Melissa, tells the story about how when she used to attend a certain church in Miami, Oklahoma when she was a teenager, the pastor forbade the church members to go see a movie starring Dolly Parton and Burt Reynolds. The pastor and his board of elders, took turns setting across the street from the movie theater, writing down the names of any people they recognized that went into the theater. Another time, Melissa was working at a skating rink and some of the women from the church approached her and told her she was in sin because she was leading the kids astray by playing secular music at the skating rink and allowing dancing on the skates. They offended her so bad that she stopped attending that church.

People come to church to worship God, be encouraged, be taught the word of God, and not to be controlled.

A fake preacher will often build his ‘church’ which turns into a cult, by tearing down someone else’s church, stealing the sheep, and bad-mouthing other ministries. A true man of God will never use tactics like that to build his church. Exposing false prophets is ne thing, but slamming legitimate Christians is an entirely different matter. 

Why do people listen to fake pastors? Well, some people are just vulnerable and easy to deceive. That is why it is important to know God’s word, study it, pray and be filled with the Holy Spirit so you can walk in discernment. This will protect you and your family from falling victim to fakes.

Eventually people will wake up and smell the coffee sometimes. Other times however they don’t until it is too late. Such as was the case with Jim Jones and the People’s Temple. Around 1000 people either committed suicide or were murdered at the hands of this cult, which consisted of mind control, sexual immorality, child abuse, homosexuality, and other types of perversion and unhealthy relationships. The People’s Temple was a large mega church and had memberships in the thousands. It held large crusades which packed out stadiums all over the USA, until its demise. Fake preachers come in all shapes and sizes and so do their churches. Just because a church is a large church does not mean it is not a cult. Thousands of people can be deceived the same as a handful of people.

Another thing to watch out for is when the fake preachers start distorting God’s word, adding to it, or only preaching half-truths. For instance, when they say “Jesus never said such and such so that means it’s OK.” Wrong! Jesus does not have to spell out every single thing. People, especially believers are expected to use common sense and wisdom. One preacher wrote a blog where he said Jesus never addressed the issue of homosexuality, and implied that because He didn’t mention it, it is ‘OK to be gay.’ First of all, it is not recorded that Jesus ever preached against the sin of having sex with a gorilla or a donkey either, but that does not mean it is OK. Only a certified idiot would believe that type of philosophy but there are a lot of idiots out there. Second of all, this guy does not know that Jesus did or didn’t mention it because it says in St. John 21:25 that there were many other things that Jesus said and did that if every one of them were written down, the world wouldn't have enough room for the books that would be written. Last but not least remember the word of God says “Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.” (Proverbs 30:6)

If the pastor of the church you are attending starts suggesting that homosexuals should be allowed to join the church or get married, or if the pastor begins to question things like the virgin birth, the second coming of Christ, whether or not there is a Hell, and whether Jesus is the ONLY way to get to Heaven, get out of that church fast! If the preacher even suggests that God will judge whether or not Muslims or other cults go to Heaven and it is not for us to judge, run away fast because that preacher is too cowardly to preach the truth that Jesus said which is He is the ONLY way to get to Heaven. (John 14:6)

A fake preacher will try to convince his church that God speaks through him even if it is in contrast to God’s word. He will also put more emphasis upon himself rather than God, and either he or his leadership teams will stress the ‘word’ of the pastor more than the word of Jesus. They will also cause division in your home or even your marriage. People will also become disappointed with God or the church because fake preachers will make promises claiming to speak for God, and they never give instructions on how to seek God for fulfillment of these promises. The fake preacher gets the people all sidetracked into programs that center on other things that distract from seeking Jesus, and people lose that special personal time with God and then they feel abandoned, empty and disillusioned with God and the church. They begin to see their relationship with God as meaningless. When this happens the light seems to go out in them. The happiness and joy leaves and they stop producing the fruit in their lives that Jesus says people will know them by. “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.”(1 Timothy 4:1)

How do we protect ourselves from fake preachers?

1. KNOW GOD’S WORD and make sure what is being preached lines up with it. If a preacher s not preaching the Message Of The Cross, chances are he is a fake, or just doesn't understand that our achievements and victories are a direct result of what Christ did on the cross. We can only achieve success when we understand that He ( Jesus Christ) already achieved it for us by what He did n the Cross. Titus 1:9 says be devoted to the trustworthy message that is taught. Then he can use those accurate teachings to encourage people and correct those who oppose the word. Don't let anything including your church and your preacher come between you and your time with God in study of His word. If you don’t make time for God’s word you can be in danger of being led astray.
2. Make sure your preacher and his church leaders believe the entire bible word for word and not just part of it.
3. Make sure your preacher is consistent in what he preaches and that he lives his life for God all the way, preaching the Message Of The Cross. 
4. Have nothing to do with fake preachers, their leadership or anyone who teaches false doctrine. 2 John 7-10 tells us that we are not to even speak to or greet those who teach false doctrine. Get as far away from fake preachers as possible and do not give them the time of day.

Today, these new age churches are teaching many things that do not line up with the word of God and they are open to new age ideas and philosophies that they call “thinking outside the box.” All they care about is church growth because it expands their power base and gives them prestige positions in the world of kissing up and church celebrity celebration. They are not only embracing and teaching worldly philosophies that do not line up with the word of God, but they are openly hostile to the ones that do. “A time will come when people will not listen to accurate teachings. Instead, they will follow their own desires and surround themselves with teachers who tell them what they want to hear. People will refuse to listen to the truth and turn to myths.” (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

That time is here.

Therefore watch, pray, listen, be cautious, and do not neglect God’s word. When you know the word, you know the truth and the truth shall set you free. By the way, the truth is defined as JESUS. He is the way, the truth and the life! The more you set your eyes upon Him, the safer you will be. If you are in the right relationship with Jesus, you probably won’t fall into the snares of these predators known as fake preachers.

WRESTLING WITH JESUS

by Rev. Johnny Lee Clary



1 Peter 5:7 Throw all your worry on him, because he cares for you.

Jesus tells us that if we take our worries and things that stress us out and give it to Him, He will take care of it. Jesus has your back. It sort of reminds me of my old professional wrestling days, when I was in a tag team match. I liked tag team matches because you had a partner if you were lucky who had your back. If you started getting tired, you just tagged your partner and he would take over for awhile. Of course I was a heel (villain) in the business so a tag team partner came in handy with double teaming to.

I want you to see life as a wrestling match with Jesus as your tag team partner. First you set out to do the job God has called you or placed you in to do. Then when things get tiring or a little rough, tag in Jesus by casting your cares on Him and He will relieve you of the burden.

Another thing about the wrestling days, was we created a gang in wrestling called “The Brat Pack,” which consisted of myself, Bill Ash, my brother Buddy Savage, and my wife Melissa, (Miss Becky Starr) and a few others that came and went over the years. We had a motto, “Mess with one of us and you mess with all of us.” We held to this both in and out of the ring. Whenever I had a problem with someone for instance, my brother Buddy Savage (Terry Clary) would step up and get in the guy’s faces and say, “If there’s a problem, I’ll take care of it!” Whenever it looked like I might be in danger of losing my title, the rest of the Brat Pack would interfere so I could keep my belt. As a result, I retired as champion!

You need to know that no matter how many are coming after you, like the Brat Pack, Jesus is right there in the faces of your adversaries and saying, “If there’s a problem, I’ll take care of it.” I am that way even today with my close friends. I remember my late friend Rosie from Tulsa, a couple of years before she died, called me because some lawyer at her job where she worked as a receptionist, was sexually harassing her and making her feel very uncomfortable. I remember going to visit her on the job and she introduced me to him as her brother ( which was true because I was her brother in Christ) and I got right up in his face and said, “If there’s a problem, I’ll take care of it!” He never bothered Rosie again.

You need to use that same faith and realize that when Satan is attacking you, just call upon Jesus and he will get up in the Devil’s face and say, “If there’s a problem, I’ll take care of it.”

Jesus said that we should come to Him. This is because He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and that no man can go the Father except through Him.(John 14:6) “The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run into it and they are safe.” (Proverbs 18:10)

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN CHRISTIANS

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN CHRISTIANS

..by Johnny Lee Clary, Tracy Lord-Smith, Stella Collins, David Thrower, and Von Hanshaw



There’s a lot of political correctness ever present and prominent within the society of today which consists of everyone is entitled to their ‘fair’ share, ‘fair’ go and ‘fair’ trade, irrespective of race, religion, gender, nationality or sexual orientation. This political correctness, non discrimination, ‘get into the 21st century mentality’ is compromising our values, our ethics and quite simply the word of God.

To put forward your opinion on the “homosexual” spectrum as a whole, takes guts. You see it would seem today’s minority is actually getting the support of the majority. You mention you believe woman was made for man, and suddenly you’re classed as having ‘homophobia.’ What is it with this word ‘homophobia’ anyway? The homosexual community tags one as having a mental disorder called ‘homophobia’ if they do not support the homosexual agenda. They try to be amateur medical specialists by using this term. Look, most people do not want dog crap inside their house either and would rather it be scooped up and put in the garbage can, but does that mean they suffer from ‘dogcrapaphobia?’ Just because you do not wish to be around something does not mean you have a ‘phobia’ to it. You express that a marriage is a legal and spiritual union meant only for a man and a woman and you are labeled archaic, and maybe even a religious extremist. You mention IVF (In Vitro Fertilization which is a process in which egg cells are fertilized by sperm outside the womb) should be left for infertile male / female couples and you are told to “get with the times.” You mention the Bible and quote in particular Leviticus 18, 19 or 20, you are told “God loves everyone”, and “Jesus loves me no matter what!!” You have Christians who claim to know Jesus and read the bible, yet you press them on the “hard” issues and they want to sit on the fence, appease others and be everyone’s friend. “I’m not anti anything”, “Jesus loves everyone,” “He hung around the prostitutes,” you may get told. How many of us get these retorts slammed back in our face, yet we keep quiet for fear of stirring the pot, or having the majority also on our tail?

If you are a pastor, evangelist, teacher, or Christian speaker and you take a stand against homosexuality, you are threatened by not only the homosexual community but also by other Christian leaders who will tell you that if you speak out against homosexuality they are going to boycott your ministry and encourage other pastors to shut you down. In the 1970’s Anita Bryant took a stand for decency and morality standing up and speaking out against the homosexual agenda. For her efforts, she was rewarded with being abandoned by the Christian churches across the United States and ultimately suffered a divorce when the homosexuals began to make phone calls to the churches she was scheduled to speak at, threatening to blow them up. The churches decided to give in to this terrorist tactic and abandon Anita, saying “We don’t want no problems with the homosexuals! We can’t afford controversy!” What they really meant was “We are too cowardly to stand up for the Word of God.”

Then in the 1980’s Pastor Jerry Falwell took a stand against the homosexual agenda and many leading pastors and churches also ostracized him across the country as being too political and getting off focus from preaching the gospel. As a result, the churches joined in with the liberal media in labeling Falwell as a hatemonger. The church leaders have done the same thing to Pat Robertson and Ps. David Wilkerson. Some of these cowardly pastors are even writing blogs about Pastors Robertson and Wilkerson labeling them as judgmental in an effort to gain the approval of the homosexual communities! Well today, churches are getting to reap what they have sown.

Galatians 6:7 says “Be not deceived, God is not mocked; for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.”

Many homosexuals and lesbians are now not only being accepted into churches as full members but are being ordained as “ministers” in many denominational churches, such as the Lutherans. Roberts Liardon author of “God’s Generals” and other books published by Albury Publishing a branch of Harrison House Publishers, came out as an openly gay pastor admitting he was having homosexual affairs. In spite of this, many Christians book stores are still selling his books all over the world.

Bishop Carlton Pearson who was labeled as a heretic for his new doctrine of universalism which he calls “Gospel of Inclusionism,” (in which he states there is no Hell and Satan himself will get to live in heaven because the Bible is wrong and God will forgive him as the ultimate reconciliation where everybody goes to heaven) has written a sermon which he preached on his website called “Is God Gay,” and Pearson also speaks in homosexual churches all over America.

Many church leaders are participating in interfaith meetings with members of the homosexual communities. Before she died, Tammy Faye Bakker Messner after divorcing Jim Bakker, came out and marched in homosexual parades and even hosted a TV talk show with a homosexual named Jim Jay, which was called “Jim Jay and Tammy Faye.”

Ted Haggard was one of the leading pastors in the USA and pastured a church of 15,000 members in Colorado until it was discovered that he was a closet homosexual who was having affairs with a male prostitute in addition to a youth leader in his church. Today he regularly appears on Oprah and other talk shows stating that he is a “hetrosexual man with homosexual attachments.” He is being applauded by Oprah and others who endorse homosexuality.

And in Australia, Anthony Venn-Brown a former leading pastor who had a seat on the national executive of one of the largest Christian denominations until he left his wife and kids after 16 years of marriage for another man, is now is a motivational speaker identifying himself as a “gay Christian!” Venn-Brown is even given platforms at some large Melbourne area ‘churches’ where he has told audiences that they can chose their morality but not their sexual preference! When Venn-Brown says this, it is a lie straight from the pits of Hell. He made his own choice to practice sodomy by giving in to his wicked desires. God never created him to be a homosexual, and he is deceiving people when he says that God did. What is even more wicked are the so-called church leaders and Christians who are giving this man a platform to speak.

All of this is a result of the Christians being too passive about this perverted lifestyle and deciding that it would be best to remain silent and just pray for those caught up in a homosexual lifestyle or accept them into the church. They rebuke people like John Hagee, Anita Bryant, David Wilkerson, Ann Coulter, the late Pastor Jerry Falwell and former Presidents George Bush, Ronald Reagan and Richard Nixon as being too radical and accuse them of being ‘unchristian’ by not showing enough love and compassion to the homosexuals. This is a ridiculous argument. If one were to find a needle and a spoon along with heroin in their teenager’s room, which of the following two methods should they try?

Method number one is, should they just try to show love and compassion by saying “What you are doing I don’t agree with but I want you to know that I love you and accept you anyway and if you ever need to talk about it I want you to know I am there for you.”

Or should they try method number 2 where they say, “This will not be tolerated in my home! I am confiscating that junk and you are going to a medical center where you are going to get help in overcoming this sick habit you have. I love you enough to take a stand because I care!”

Which method would you choose as a parent? I can tell you right now that if you choose the first method, then you are a sorry excuse for a parent and do not deserve to have a child and your child should be removed from your home. You might as well put a bullet in a gun and hand it to your children and tell them it is OK to play “Russian Roulette.”

Certain people are preaching “all grace—- no repentance needed” messages which leads people to think that we are in a society where everything is permissible.

Whatever happened to God’s word being the final authority? There is a cancer on the body of Christ right now that is trying to destroy God’s word by replacing it with the new age philosophy of “all grace—– no repentance of sin required” because the ‘Jesus way’ is all mercy, all forgiveness and there is no more consequences to the acts of sinning, including homosexuality. As a matter of fact, some pastors, Christian laymen and even public figures who claim to know Christ as their Savior are proclaiming that there is nothing wrong with same sex marriages, homosexuality in general, and that it is ‘OK to be gay!’ They attempt to change God’s word on the subject, totally ignoring what is written in God’s word which calls the very act of homosexuality an abomination, and they are dismissing it as “Old Testament,” “religious,” and “old fundamentalist way of thinking.”

Yes there is a need for grace and mercy but also for repentance, commitment to Christ and change by the renewal of the mind. That is called balance.

You know, it is funny – less than 40 years ago, homosexuality was a psychological disorder that used to be called SSAD (Same-sex attraction dysfunction) but now it’s being promoted as a “minority status.” This shows that our society has gone mad. What can be more mad than to totally dismiss the example of the wrath of God that was poured out upon two wicked cities full of wicked homosexuals who were so perverted they wanted to rape angels from Heaven?

Genesis 19:1-29 says God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because of homosexuality. For people who say all sins are the same, it should be pointed out to them where God rained fire and brimstone down on a complete city burning up 75,000 people not because they lied, or bore false witness or coveted from their neighbor! God rained fire and brimstone down upon them because He couldn’t stomach that sin anymore.

No one is trying to justify the other sins but obviously God calls some things an abomination and homosexuality is one of them. Genesis 13:13 identify the men of Sodom as exceedingly wicked sinners. Genesis 18:20 says that the sin of Sodom is “very grievous.” Genesis 18:23 again adds emphasis to the portrayal of the inhabitants of Sodom as “wicked.” Genesis 18:24-33 shows that God could not find even 10 righteous souls in Sodom. One must shudder to think about what God is going to do to San Francisco, California! If God does not deal with them, then He owes Sodom and Gomorrah an apology!
God’ word is plain in Leviticus because it is such a clear and uncompromising picture of God’s expectations and His standards on how we live:

Leviticus 18 : 6 – 21 talks exclusively about what is unacceptable in the form of sexual relations.

Leviticus 18:22 “`Do not lie with a man as one lies with a woman; that is detestable.”

Verse 29-30 goes on to say “everyone who does any of these detestable things – such persons must be cut off from their people.” Notice God says MUST be cut off, as opposed to may or can be cut off from their people?

Leviticus 20:13 “If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.”

Today many pro-homosexual Christians are on the scene telling everyone that those scriptures were Old Testament and that they are no longer applicable to today’s new way of thinking. If they are going to dismiss scripture in the Old Testament then they also must dismiss Jesus because every scripture Jesus ever quoted is found in the Old Testament! Jesus also made it a point to say that he did not come to do away with the laws of the Old Testament but to fulfill them. (Matthew 5:17) Those who try to dismiss Old Testament scripture encourage you to think outside of the box and go with the new way of thinking which they claim comes from Jesus. This proves that they are so wet behind the ears that they do not even know God’s word in the New Testament let alone the Old.

For instance, “For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another: men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet.” Romans 1:26,27 (KJV)

“For although they knew God, they neither glorified Him as God nor gave thanks to Him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened… Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another… Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, He gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity…” Romans 1:20-29 (NIV)

“Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (NIV)

1Timothy 1:10 “and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,” (New American Standard Bible)
“For adulterers and perverts, for slave traders and liars and perjurers—and for whatever else is contrary to the sound doctrine” (NIV)

So now we know from the word itself exactly what God thinks about homosexuality. He says it’s perverse, it’s sexual impurity, it is unnatural, it’s depraved, it’s unnatural, and goes directly against His plan of creation. Now we challenge anyone to disagree with that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One pastor even had the nerve to write a blog in which he implied that homosexuality was OK because Jesus never mentioned it. Did this guy get his religious education from the Ted Haggard School of Theology? I mean he hasn’t even taken into consideration that Jesus never mentioned having sex with a donkey, a chicken or a gorilla, but that does not mean it is OK because Jesus never mentioned it! Some people should never be given anything sharp to play with let alone be allowed to pastor a church!

Why are so many pastors, many of them pastors or assistant pastors of large metro churches now saying it is “OK to be gay?” Well, if you want the truth of the matter it is because a lot of the homosexual community are extravagant big spending people who have money and there are a lot of churches that have many homosexuals attending them and if the pastor preaches the truth of God’s word concerning what the Bible really says about homosexuality, the homosexuals will take their money and go back to ‘Brokeback Mountain.’ One should never compromise God’s Word and standards in order to make money.

The Entertainment Industry And Homosexuality

We are living in a day and age where the entertainment industry shoves homosexuality in our faces every day. The homosexual agenda not only includes “Same Sex Marriage” but they have successfully pushed forward their lifestyles to the public over the television sets conditioning the public to accept their perversion and depravity. TV shows like “Will and Grace”, “Queer Eye For The Straight Guy”, “The L Word”, “Queer Folks”, MTV Videos, and even cartoons such as “The Simpsons”, and “Southpark” portray Christians who take a stand against homosexuality as evil, hateful, and wacky; while portraying the homosexual lifestyle as ‘normal.’ As if there wasn’t enough shows on TV promoting homosexuality, MTV is preparing to launch a “24-Hour All-Gay All Day Channel” which will include programming geared at teaching kids that it is ‘cool’ to be a homosexual and perfectly normal. They will even include a homosexual dating game, as if Jerry Springer wasn’t enough, with promoting homosexuality in just about every show whipping the audience into a frenzy as they scream and yell, “We Love Lesbians” while girls get naked and kiss all over each other right on nationwide TV while an audience cheers them on. Parents, Jerry Springer is shown in many states around 3-4pm in the afternoon, so you will be happy to know that might be what your kids are watching when they get home from school. Now they will have the “24-Hour All Gay All Day Channel” to look at also!

Hollywood put out a movie called “Brokeback Mountain” that received 8 Oscar nominations. The movie tried to give an entire new name to westerns, by glorifying a homosexual love affair between two cowboys. Hollyweird has sent a clear message: Jesus is out and sodomy is in! John Wayne and Ronald Reagan would be appalled if they were alive today!

Many so-called Christian ‘celebrities’ are also jumping on the bandwagon and promoting homosexuality and telling people it is now OK to be gay.

Kate Perry, whose real name is Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson , the daughter of Assembly of God pastors put out the number one song for 2008 called “I Kissed A Girl And I Liked It.” This song was not only a hit in the USA but in other nations as well selling millions upon millions of copies.

Samantha Fox was a top selling rock singer in the 80’s. She declared she had become a born again Christian and even performed at Christian music shows. A few years ago Samantha Fox judged a lesbian beauty contest and then she and another woman who was once a guitarist for the 80’s metal all girls band called “Girlschool,” moved in together and when lesbian allegations surfaced, Fox was quoted in a Feb. 2003 interview about her lover, “But I can’t keep saying, ‘Maybe,’ or denying it. It is time to let people know where my heart is. People keep trying to say I’m a lesbian. I don’t know what I am. All I know is that I’m in love with Myra [Stratton, her manager]. I love her completely and want to spend the rest of my life with her.”

Former Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian who claims to be a Christian gave an interview in favor of same sex marriage. Here is the link : http://www.remnantnewspaper.com/Archives/archive-2007-guy_sebastian_on_the_record.htm


Here are quotes from that interview:

Gay Magazine: There was a mini-debate about you saying you had a lot of gay friends and so were offended by the word “faggot”, but that homosexuality surely clashes with your Christian beliefs?

Guy Sebastian: That’s the sad side of Christianity. That’s not how it’s meant to be. I’ve been to gay clubs heaps of times. That’s the old fundamentalist way of thinking that’s unfortunately spread through all these generations. They miss the whole point of Christianity which is love. God loves people whether they are black, white, gay, straight, bisexual, whatever. As a Christian, we’re never going to get close to being sinless or perfect, and I’m no better than anybody on this earth, but our No.1 goal is to be as loving as we can. We aim to be like God, so for me, I think that’s a really ugly side of when people get lost in religion. It’s funny, Shannon (Noll) gets called that, Anthony (Callea), all my friends in the industry. That’s the word everyone picks — as soon as you’re in the industry you’re gay.

Gay Magazine: You’re not anti gay marriage?

Guy Sebastian: I’m not really anti anything. If you’re a gay couple why not? I don’t really have a stance because I don’t know what it’s like to be told you’re not allowed to marry somebody. That doesn’t seem fair to me.
………………………………….

Old fundamentalist way of thinking? No Guy, it is GOD’S way of thinking. Perhaps you should stop trying to compromise the Word of God in order to sell your music to the gay community if you really are a Christian, and instead of going to gay clubs heaps of times, go back to bible college and learn what God’s word is all about! What Guy Sebastian has advocated is in direct contrast to the word of God which shows that he is unlearned and too uneducated in the ways of God to be any kind of ‘role model’ for young Christians.

It is rather disappointing that when God has placed people in positions of influence they seem to compromise in their beliefs. If they profess to be a “born-again” Christian and are in the music/film/media or a high profile businessperson or in politics to name a few, then they have a responsibility to speak the truth when asked, and not what a ‘minority’ group wants to hear. They are there to make God’s name famous not their own. When they start saying they are ‘pro gay’ then you know they are on the downward spiral and losing sight of God’s Vision and Truth. It’s very sad when you have ex-pastors like Ted Haggard and Australia’s Anthony Venn-Brown going on TV and saying you can be gay and a Christian, and a young man who was Australian Idol’s first winner advocating same sex marriage and going to gay bars! It breaks many people’s hearts and it must breaks God’s heart too.

There’s a newsflash and this is it: Jesus does love each and every one of us…there is never a shadow of a doubt about that. He even loves Charles Manson and Adolf Hitler however (and this is where it gets nasty), the bible tells us, in order to accept Jesus and truly love him in return we must give up our sinful ways (and yes God has clearly identified homosexuality as a sin) or we will pay an awful price.

Many will also debate now, that the threat of hell is turning non- believers away from Christ. They say it’s too confrontational, and others may even give you the impression Jesus loves you so much, He is even prepared to over look a few of your sins, and just worry about the major ones like rape and murder. There is even an article out that talks about how many of us put Jesus in our own box, and elaborate upon our own interpretation of His goodness and the grace we have been saved by.

The topic of homosexuality is one which causes heated debates, controversy and confrontation at times. The ‘un-hallowed Halls of Congress; the Senate’ in America are passing the HATE CRIME Bill which will make it illegal to openly and publicly speak out against the ABOMINATION of homosexuality {Romans 1}.
The odd thing about the TRUE God {Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim} of the Holy Bible is that He never changes. He is the same: yesterday, today and forever {Hebrews 13:8}. Regardless of what our post-Christian society believes, and regardless of what “AMERICANIZED CHRISTIANITY” believes…God does not change, period. It is people who change.

The thing about homosexuality is that it is both a demonic issue as a well as a psychological problem. Rev. Royce Shelton, who onetime taught New Testament at Southeastern University in Lakeland, FL, once described homosexuality as this: “someone who is mentally what they are not physically.” As was stated previously in this article, in the old days, it was classified as a psychological disorder as well, being called Same-Sex Attraction Disorder (SSAD). For more information about that, feel free to check out www.narth.com.

Homosexuals need to be shown the same love of Christ as any sinner, but it certainly does not mean their behavior should be condoned. A person involved in this lifestyle is in demonic bondage as well, as demons do mess with the mind and cause psychological issues. Therefore, deliverance from this bondage is vital to the struggling homosexual, especially one who has found Christ and seeks deliverance. So yes there is plenty of truth to love the sinner but hate the sin. Anyone who says this is wrong, does not know God’s ways.

Ezekiel 3:18 says “Suppose I tell you that wicked people will surely die, but you don’t warn them or speak out so that they can change their wicked ways in order to save their lives. Then these wicked people will die because of their sin, but I will hold you responsible for their deaths.”

Those of us who have written this article are obeying God’s word by warning the homosexuals that they are in sin and we also offer a way out of their sin for them. When they have friends who condone their lifestyles and say all they are required to do is to love them, and not point out their sins, then these are not true friends. These so-called ‘friends’ are contributing to their damnation in an eternal agony of Hell when they do not speak the truth that homosexuality is a sin because the truth will set the homosexual free.

If you had a friend and you saw that friend attempting to get behind the wheel of their car drunk, you would be no kind of friend if you stood by and said nothing. You would be allowing that person to kill themselves and perhaps others. You have a responsibility to warn that friend and to attempt to stop them from causing harm and death not only to themselves but to others.

This article does not display hate, bigotry, or prejudice of any kind against homosexual men and women. The people who have contributed to this article are the best friends that a homosexual can have as they are telling them the truth, something that their friends are not telling them; that Jesus Christ is the cure for the homosexual lifestyle, that Hell is real and that is where people end up when they do not repent of their sins. Homosexuals do NOT have to go to Hell however, if they repent and turn from their wicked ways and give their lives to Christ. It is our hope that upon reading this article, anyone who is either guilty of the sin of homosexuality, or guilty of condoning it in anyway, well repent, ask Jesus for forgiveness and begin the process of renewing the mind as described in Romans 12:2 so they can become a new creation in Christ Jesus!

What To Do If You Are A Homosexual Or Involved In Any Other Sexual Sins

No one has to live in bondage with an abnormal life of homosexuality nor any other abnormal behavior. No one has to be controlled by pornography. No one has to have evil thoughts plague their minds. There is a way out through what Jesus has done for us. He loves sinners and wants to free us from any evil practices. He will empower those who cry out for deliverance to get free and stay free. Here are the steps you must take to get free:

(1.) Make a total commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ. Be willing to turn your life completely over to the will of God and yield to His plan for your life. This means you must be willing to do anything, go anywhere and give up any thing as He leads. Remember, God will never lead you to do anything that is not in agreement with the Bible. You can trust God. He created you and has a better plan for your life.

(2.) Your must pray and read your Bible daily. You must study and apply the Word of God to overcome Satan’s attacks. The way that you resist the attacks of the devil is by quoting the Word of God to him. When the devil came to tempt Jesus, He simply quoted the Word to him. Good praise tapes will also be of a great help when you are tempted. Put one on and start singing along with it.

(3.) You must pray for and seek out a strong Bible believing group of Holy Spirit filled people. You will need their help and fellowship. As you humble yourself and seek help, the Lord will deliver you. Ask God to lead you to someone that can pray the prayer of deliverance for you, as you probably will need to be set free from a demon. You should also seek to be filled with the Holy Spirit as you will need His power to get free and to remain free.

(4.) You must cut off all sources and relationships that would lead you back into sin. The Bible tells us to flee fornication (sexual sins). (1 Corinthians 6:18) You must get out of any corrupt entanglements, or areas that you know will be a temptation to you. If you have been hooked on internet pornography subscribe to an Internet Service Provider that will filter out the pornography for you. Destroy all evil books and videos.

(5.) Should you slip or fall back occasionally, repent and get right back up and go on with God. Do not allow the devil to condemn you once you have repented. Put your sin under the blood of Jesus. He will strengthen you and you will win this battle because of the Lord’s promise to you. Remember, He loves you and is there to help you. Run to Him when you get in trouble, never run from Him. He will not ever give up on you! We too, will be standing with you for your total healing and deliverance. Philippians 1:6: “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.”

(6.) You must forgive everyone that has ever hurt you. You can only do this through the power of God. You must by a simple act of your will voice the forgiveness and then the Lord will give you the feeling of forgiveness. This may be a while in coming but just keep forgiving when you think of any wrong that has been done to you. The Lord will give you His love for those people who have wronged you.

(7.) If you have been attending a church where the pastor or church leadership support same sex marriage, supports homosexuality, or allows pro-gay so-called Christians to speak or sing at their church, get out of that church and find a Bible believing church that does not condone or is not afraid to speak out against homosexuality.

PRAYER OF SALVATION

“Father, I know that I have broken your laws and my sins have separated me from you. I am truly sorry, and now I want to turn away from my past sinful life toward you. Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again. I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart from this day forward. Please send your Holy Spirit to help me You, and to do Your will for the rest of my life. In Jesus’ name I pray, Amen.”

PRAYER FOR DELIVERANCE

Finally we want to pray for you right now if you need it:

Dear Heavenly Father,
We come to you in the mighty name of Jesus and we ask that you touch this one right now, first of all with your love and forgiveness. Lord, wash their sins away. Wash away all the uncleanness and guilt. Lord we ask you to free them right now from the powers of darkness.
Now, we speak to Satan and his demons and we command them to leave in the name of Jesus! Satan, this one is no longer under your power. The blood of Jesus has set them free! We resist you and you must flee! This one belongs to God and you have no more authority over them! Be gone!
Dear Lord, thank you that you have set this one free and we are believing that you will lead them to the right people that will help them to walk out this deliverance. We break every chain of iniquity over their life and cancel every evil word that has been spoken against them. We declare they will walk in your victory and that you will enable them to do it. Lord, fill them with your Holy Spirit and guide them in the ways of God! We speak blessing and success to them. Most of all, we pray that they will feel your love for them right now. We ask this all in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
