THE ANTS  [Welcome to C.C.! Well- first read below]
Just a note for my new readers [I hear we have some] I have spoken- written- documented- given names, addresses- of actual crimes committed by members of the CCPD- for 5 years now. The Justice Dept. has all of this- as well as the authorities in Texas [attorney Gen. Etc.] Yes- I have been ‘blowin’ the trumpet in Zion for a while- God bless.

[verses below- at the bottom I added a couple of chapters from a book I wrote years ago]
 The link at the bottom is the story of a kid- at work- and the cops came in looking for another man. The kid’s name was the best they could do- it started with the same letter as the suspect [really].
So- the cops went to his work assaulted him and busted him.
They realized later it was the wrong kid.
In order to cover up their nonstop criminal activity- they planted drugs on him [which is now a known fact].
They terrorized the workplace- yet- 6 witnesses gave sworn testimony that it happened.
This was all brought out in a public forum.
The cops then had a grudge against the kid- because after all- they went after him- and might get in trouble for it.
As the case progressed- the final result was all of this was revealed- and the cops- till this day say ‘prove it’.
They work hand in hand with the DA and prosecutor- so- what can they prove if you’re dealing with criminals?
This happened here in South Texas – the link is below- and they now go after the kid- family- wives- children- the only way you could describe this is absolute terrorism on a scale that the average person would never  believe.
God job ‘law officers’.
Note- my daughter recently was pulled over for an expired inspection sticker- she got a ONE THOUSAND DOLLAR FINE.
‘John- how could they do that”?
Their cops after all.
The other link is actual footage of a CCPD cop at Whataburger- he’s eating and gets a call from dispatch- emergency domestic violence. You know- we had a woman killed here because the family said the cops ignored her plea for help the very day she was murdered.
So- the cop tells dispatch he’s eating- and does not go.
Other witnesses heard it- and it became public. The officer- in order to defend the fact that he could care less if the woman was murdered-
Later said ‘I was so sick- at the point of passing out- if I did not stay and eat- I would not be able to defend the poor woman’.
What an absolute- total- complete criminal organization we are dealing with.
In the next week I give the case of a local cop who killed a street guy in the back of his cop car.
It happened here in Flour Bluff.
This same cop has beaten- threatened to kill others- it was reported to me by Albert Hoffman the cop said ‘disappear- or I will make you disappear’ [meaning he will actually murder Albert]
This street guy was murdered here at the Paris Apartments off SPID.
Witnesses testified the cop strangled him to death in the back of the cop car.
The guy was beat up- strangulation marks on his neck- he could have had a bullet in the back of his head for all we know-
Yet-
The medical examiner said he died of- quote ‘Asthma’.
The mayor- commissioners- and Police chief all know about the crimes- and even murders- committed by cops.
‘How do they deal with it John’?
Those who report it get the shit beat out of them- by Corpus Christi cops.
All I can tell you is I would be afraid- if I were living in another state- if your thinking of Corpus Christi- RUN.
You might wind up hanging in a Texas jail cell- like Sandra Bland.
Down the road I’ll get to the rate of hangings that take place in our jails here- it’s off the charts.
‘Are they hanging themselves’- Yeah- just like Judge Greenwell shot himself- ya think?
NOTE- You see me talk/write on cop issues a lot. Yesterday [as I write] a cop was arrested for 3 murders.
He was an older man- that had a restraining order put against him in a divorce case.
Here’s the link-
As I watched the news- I thought ‘what could have set him off like this’?
He basically went on a shooting spree- and said ‘I’m going to commit suicide- by cop’.
As I watched the news- in the divorce case- the ex also ‘decided’ after many years of marriage- to accuse the father of sexually molesting their kids.
Now- this is indeed a common- and proven to be false accusation in the majority of the cases where the ‘Jezebel’ wife – simply makes up the story [yes- proven- in the majority of cases].
We had a judge shot in the head here a few months back- by a girlfriend.
His name was Jack Hunter. The girlfriend called 911- she said ‘Oh my- Jack shot himself’.
On the 911 call in the background you heard the judge yell ‘no I did not’.
She has since been put in prison.
Her past?
She falsely accused her ex of raping her children- she lied.
So- it just made me think- maybe what set the cop off was the fact that his ex did the same thing.
It’s an easy charge to make- because even if it’s proved untrue- the mother hardly ever faces any charges for the false accusation.
When I was in New Jersey a few years back- I read a case where an ex-wife did this- but the writer was complaining that as they looked into the case- the prosecutor knew the child lied- but went forward anyway- a ‘Mike Nifong’ type guy.
So- false accusation is never right- whether it’s against a cop- or anyone.
Being I’m writing- might as well tell this one [you know- we have so many in Corpus Christi- it would take a volume to tell them all].
I read a news article- a local law entity [sheriff? Or Police dept.?] Revealed to the other agencies that one of their officers had a 20 year ‘record’ of falsifying evidence [Hmm?].
So- because of a new law- the chiefs have to report it- you know- it can be problematic.
So- in the article it said the guy falsified stuff for about 20 years.
The amazing thing was whatever law dept. he’s working for now [yes- still going strong]
Said ‘yeah- we have to report it- but were trying to make sure he stops now’.
It was something to that effect.
 I thought what about all the victims of his ‘Brian Williams’ tendencies [you know ‘I saved the puppy from a house fire’- ‘I mean I saved 2 puppies’ type thing]
The problem we have in Corpus Christi [rated number 2 most corrupt- in the whole USA folks].
Is they treat these crimes- committed by cops- as an ‘in house’ work place problem.
No- they are crimes- and if you have a cop that you know has been falsifying thousands of reports- simply lying- then you don’t say ‘well- were hoping he slows down a bit’.
No- you fire the guy.
http://www.breitbart.com/texas/2014/12/04/texas-cop-resigns-after-using-choke-hold-on-woman-videotaping-arrest/  Here’s another Corpus case that made it to national media-Notice how the cops lied about why they did this.
They attacked the girl because she was filming- they lied and said they attacked her because she was a suspect.
They then tried to get rid of the video- the guy resigned because the video went viral.
 This city is right next to Corpus Christi.
They got the wrong guy- then planted evidence anyway.
Then- after the 6 witnesses risked their lives in giving sworn statements- the cops said ‘prove it’.

These are a couple of chapters from a small book I wrote years ago-

CHAPTER 3


KINGDOM BUILDING OR LEGACY BUILDING?

I just finished doing a teaching on the radio on the book of Exodus. We covered the story of the children of Israel as they progressed in time from a few people into a whole nation of people. If you remember your bible well, you can follow the original desire for God to have a family of people who would inhabit earth and live in fellowship with him. As man sinned and rebelled against God he became separated from God, but the desire to build and make a name for himself still existed within man. The story of the tower of Babel speaks of this. Men tried to come together as a corporate group, and even were willing to have unity [as opposed to ‘doing their own thing’] but it was for the purpose of building to the glory of man. It was ‘legacy building’. A desire that’s in all men to ‘leave a name for myself’. In the corporate world of business you find this mindset existing in a very strong way. In 21st century American society we call it ‘keeping up with the joneses’.

 There is a popular commercial on TV at this time that shows an average Joe living high on the hog in order to keep up a certain image in the community. It shows ‘Joe’ as possessing a lot of things in order to live up to the image of the people around him. At the end of the commercial the question is asked ‘how does Joe manage to live like this?’. The answer is ‘he’s in debt up to his eyeballs’. This little commercial captures in a nutshell the attitude of trying to create an image of ourselves so others would think more highly of us, or so we can feel vindicated in the sight of our critics. Now many times in modern ministry and ‘church’ building we give in to this desire without even realizing it. We build facilities or large organizations in order to prove to those around us that we can really do this thing [tower building mentality]. We seem to loose sight of the great reality that Gods  ‘institution’ or ‘organization’ which he uses to carry out his will is the church. It is a family of people [a holy nation, temple, city, body] that God freely dwells in, in order to advance his ‘cause’ throughout the earth.

When we unconsciously develop systems of ministry that we feel are the ‘church’, that is if we follow certain patterns and models of ministry and then begin to build these entities with the belief that these models are actually ‘the church’ then what we’ve done is transferred Gods true desire to build his kingdom [a rule in the earth that would give glory to his image] and replaced it unconsciously with a natural desire to build something that gives testimony to our image [i.e.: ‘look what I’ve done, look at the big legacy I will leave when I’m gone’]. Jesus warned the disciples that this desire to have authority and be ‘in charge’ of people would not be acceptable in true kingdom building. He was showing us that this desire for success was nothing different than what already exists in lost society. Many men sacrifice a lot in order to build institutions or businesses. People regularly sacrifice their time and resources in order to get their business going. Often times they even work in unity with many other people [staff, employees] to accomplish their goal. Now I'm not saying this is wrong in and of itself, there are many good businesses and institutions that have started this way. But when we transfer this mindset into the church we can confuse the energy and excitement that naturally comes with any true adventure and begin building ‘at all costs’. We can loose sight of the ‘entity’ that God is building and get caught up in the natural desire to ‘image’ build and become sidetracked.

 In extreme cases this actually leads to abusive church situations where the leader[s] are so focused on building the ministry that they begin to unconsciously manipulate people in order to fulfill the vision. This is why it’s so important to see that the church exists as a community of people in the earth whom God lives in and interacts with in various ways in order to build his image in the earth. God wants the knowledge of the glory of ‘the lord’ to cover the earth as the waters cover the sea. The ‘tower’ that all men will see is the ‘Cross’. God will draw all men to the image of his Son as opposed to some great edifice of man. Gods Spirit wars against the natural desire in man to ‘legacy’ build to his own image. We as believers need to reevaluate the motivations behind our outward enthusiasm to ‘press ahead’ at all costs. When we examine ourselves and make adjustments in our thinking I believe God will allow us to participate in great works for his name.

CHAPTER 4


WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE UNDER THE LOCAL CHURCH?

Over the years of seeing the freedom that we have in Christ, especially as it pertains to functioning in church and ministry, I have met other believers who have seen and grown in the same understanding that the lord has given us. I believe this to be a natural process of the body of Christ coming to maturity. When the head [Jesus] is communicating with the body [the church] you often find different members seeing and functioning in the same truths, though they have never personally met each other. Some of these experiences are lessons for the whole church. Many times in trying to express truth there is a natural tendency for fellow believers to respond in a unified way in defense of a wrong [or misguided] way of seeing things. I remember sharing with a missionary family how the New Testament teaches a greater freedom for the functioning of missionaries/apostles than what we put on them today. I showed how Paul simply operated under the spirits guidance and practiced giving and receiving in a voluntary way with all the believers he was spending time with. I showed how even though Paul was an apostle sent out of the church at Antioch [acts 13] that this didn’t mean he was under some type of 501c3 entity at Antioch that he was sending his tithes to in order to be in obedience to the ‘New Testament pattern.’ If you read the story in acts all the apostles and believers functioned as citizens of a heavenly city and saw themselves all equally as part of this new community of Christ followers.

The idea that Paul [or any other New Testament minister] had some type of structural relationship with his ‘home church’ in the sense that he was sending tithes back to his ‘home church’ on a regular basis is simply reading 21st century American patterns into the story that doesn’t exist. You would think that the missionary family would have rejoiced to have seen this truth, as it would have given them freedom in moving forward in new ways in the kingdom. But contrary they were offended in a sense because they truly felt the role of tithing to a specific group of Christians who meet in a building in there area was a New Testament pattern that must be adhered to. While its ok to give to groups of Christians in this way, but to see this as a pattern that if violated would bring the curse in Malachi upon a person is ridiculous. These are ways that we confuse the spiritual temple of believers with the entity/501c3 structures that exist in ministry today. While the obtaining of the 501c3 status, or the purchasing of a building for believers to meet in is not inherently wrong [remember, if its needed for mission it’s o.k.] but to then view that as ‘local church’ which the missionary needs to tithe to in order to be in obedience to the ‘local church’ is confusing the spiritual entity of Christ’s body with the physical entity of American ministry.

When we view ‘ministry’ as a separate organization, we sacrifice the freedom to directly build into people. I was driving through town one day with a friend and as we passed by a certain business I mentioned that I needed to go in at a later time to purchase some equipment. My friend asked why I needed it and I explained I felt the Lord wanted me to buy it for a friend in order to help him in ministry. He questioned why I would spend money on someone who had no type of relationship with us, like a ‘part of our church/ministry’. I explained how believers should be willing to spend time and money for the benefit of others regardless of whether or not they are ‘part of our organization’ [by the way we have no ‘organization’ that someone ‘joins’]. I should mention that the person I wanted to spend the money on was one of our original friends/converts that we worked with in the early days of ministry. So the benefit would be purely spiritual, that is I would receive a reward from God in the sense that one of ‘our disciples’ would benefit directly from this purchase. Paul told the Corinthians that he would gladly spend and be spent for them. He said the fathers spend for the children, not the children for the fathers. He was showing the attitude of building people up for their sole benefit, not simply building staff or employees but giving yourself away solely for the benefit of ‘spiritual children’.

 Many times people will unconsciously do the things I advocate, without realizing it! Recently there have been many examples of God working supernaturally in the area of finances. Many people who disagree with my teaching on grace giving have actually been blessed by doing it the way I teach it! People have been giving testimonies of how God would move on them to freely give [apart from the tithe concept] and how after they obeyed his voice to MEET THE NEED OF ANOTHER PERSON, versus ‘paying the tithe’ that the Lord would move supernaturally on their behalf by another person [not institution] being moved to give to them in return. I have been teaching this for years! How when Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for ‘corban’ giving that he told them their mindset of dedicating money to the temple [institution] caused them to neglect giving directly to people [their parents]. So the recent breakthrough in giving that people are experiencing is what I have been saying all along. God wants us to give spontaneously to directly meet the needs of people! I realize this doesn’t mean we shouldn’t also give regularly, but the point is sometimes we reject what a persons saying [like me!] without realizing that what their saying is right!

 I should note something here; over the years I have consistently taught and believed in the concept of giving as God leads. There have been many times where the Lord would move on me to meet the needs of people. Just a few days ago one of my homeless friends asked me if I was still buying tents for people, I said sure. There was really no second thought or feeling of ‘I already gave the required amount this week, and this is going out of the way’. I simply felt it to be in keeping with the New Testament to give to someone in need. A few weeks back I ran into one of the original homeless friends that I met many years ago. The first thing he remembered and couldn’t stop talking about was how when I first met him I was giving away clothes in the winter to him and a bunch of other people. Theses simple acts of charity are in keeping with the teaching of Jesus on giving. The New Testament says ‘give to him that asks of thee’ ‘if you have the ability to help your brother and don’t how dwelleth the love of God in you’ ‘if someone comes to your door in need and you don’t help, it profits nothing’ ‘let him who is not working get a job so he MAY HAVE TO GIVE TO HIM THAT NEEDETH’.

 All these verses [which I just paraphrased off the top of my head, you’ll have to look them up for yourself] speak clearly to the issue of God wanting us to give to meet the needs of others spontaneously and freely. No sense of ‘I already tithed this week to the church’. This legalistic mindset actually works against the spirit of New Testament giving. I am not saying Christians shouldn’t give regularly for the functioning of Christian ministry, I put aside money on a bi-weekly basis in order to fund Christian works. It is because of my priority of doing this that enables me to meet the needs of people when they come up.

I believe Christians should regularly give to the work of the kingdom, I also believe that many people would experience breakthrough in their giving if they truly practiced the New Testament doctrine of grace giving. All the communities of the New Testament [churches] gave this way. There simply was no tithing concept taught to the gentile believers. The scripture says the Corinthians gathered on the 1st day of the week and gave Paul an offering to BRING BACK TO THE POOR SAINTS AT JERUSALEM. Do you see this ‘THE POOR SAINTS’. They were giving to meet the needs of people here. We use these verses to tell Christians if you put in the required amount on Sunday then you’ve met your obligation. We distort scripture to fit into our way of seeing things. I believe its O.K. to put money in the offerings on Sunday, many times the work of ‘building based’ churches is good. Supporting missionaries, planting churches and many other good things. It’s just that we shouldn’t use this as an excuse to by pass all the other instructions in the New Testament to freely give to others in need!

I want to note something here, this is a good example of how are ‘seeing’ church as the Sunday meeting as opposed to the corporate group affects us. The issue of ‘how much should I put into the basket on Sunday’ was a NON ISSUE in the New Testament. There were times where all the believers in a community [the church] gave in a corporate way[ Acts 6, 1 Cor. 16] but there was no ‘Sunday church offering’ that all the ‘New Testament’ churches gave into. Why? Because the New Testament churches are all the believers in any given community. The focus wasn’t ‘going to church on Sunday’ that is our ‘thoughts’ or ways of seeing things [it’s O.K. to go to church on Sunday] but the focus was a community of people living and sharing on a daily basis. So when Paul writes these churches, or when Jesus tells us to give to him in need, they are addressing people directly. It’s not like the focus was on an institution. This is why ‘how much should we give, or should Christians tithe?’ is not seen in the New Testament like we see this question today. The bible speaks of ‘churches’ as communities of people; we speak about them in terms of ‘the church I go to on Sunday’. This basic misunderstanding of church causes us to hold onto a less than ideal view of Christian giving.

 

CHAPTER 5


BUILDING THE CHURCH AROUND THE PERSONA OF CHRIST, NOT MEN!

In the early days of ministry I remember listening to some tapes on apostles and how they build Gods church. Later I came to see ‘church planting’ as apostles [or evangelists, or just Christians] going to areas and simply preaching Christ to groups of people. After the people believed there was a natural development of family and community that took place as Christ’s Spirit develops the body of Christ. So the New Testament churches are simply bodies of believers in these location’s who came to know Christ. God’s authority and the works of his kingdom are simply a natural expression of Christ’s Spirit through his body. As time progressed in church history people later developed all sorts of offices and institutions that they incorporated into the church. Eventually people began viewing the institution or 501c3 entity as a separate thing called ‘church’.

With this mindset people began seeing apostles and ministers and people who plant these entities as ‘CHURCH PLANTERS’. Church planting then began to be looked
