OSA NATIONAL EVENT 2010
No King, But King Jesus!
Last month’s newsletter centered on our incredible leadership meeting conducted in Charlotte, NC. It was four glorious days of one Kingdom adventure after another. From the time we woke up, till the time our heads hit the pillow at night, we were running the race of faith and storming the gates of hell. Based upon what the Lord accomplished in Charlotte in early February, Rev. Flip Benham decided to build on the momentum and return to Charlotte for this year’s national event.
The event will start on July 17th and end on July 24th. Now is the time to make preparations to join saints from all over our nation at this appointed time. We have come into the Kingdom for such a time as this. With the advent of the Obama administration, it is clear, there are no political solutions that can rescue us from ruination. Vain is the arm of the flesh, the strength of the horse, and the political wrangling of men. We cannot extricate ourselves politically from the sins and abominations that have us by the throat.
Our only hope is to turn to God and bring forth fruits meet for repentance. This is the opportunity that is extended to all who seek to model the men of Issachar. They were men who understood the times and knew what Israel should do (1 Chronicles 12:32). Psalm 60:11, 12 declares, “Give us help in trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly, for he it is that shall tread down our enemies.”
The following is a part of Rev. Flip Benham invitation:
Ours is a gentle revolution, but a revolution nevertheless. Join us this summer as we live out our faith in the streets of Charlotte. Come stand in the gap for the unborn in the Queen City, Charlotte, N.C., July 17th-24th.
We Didn’t Wait:
· For the U.S government to stop abortion
· For Congress to pass laws to stop abortion
· For a President to stop abortion
· For the Supreme Court to stop abortion
We went right to the places where babies were being killed to give them a voice and change the heart of the nation. As we have, God has begun to push back our enemies.
Abortion is not a political issue. It is a Gospel issue. When gentle Christian warriors allow their theology to become biology in the streets of their cities, the gates of hell cannot prevail! The heart of our nation is changing toward the unborn child. The truth concerning the sanctity of life is overwhelming the lie of abortion. The abortion industry is crumbling as the Church of Jesus Christ storms the gates of hell.
We pray this invitation will be an encouragement to you. The abortion industry is hemorrhaging. God Himself is calling us to the battle. Join us in Charlotte, North Carolina this July 17-24, and let us storm the gates of hell together.
“Abortion will come to an end in America when the Church of Jesus Christ makes up her mind that it will come to an end–not one second sooner!” -Rev. Flip Benham

KINGDOM LEADERSHIP INSTITUE
At this juncture in 2010, Elijah Ministries has the opportunity to conduct three possible KLIs this year. We have one scheduled in N.C. There may also be one in New Orleans in June and possibly a third in New Jersey. With the passage of the tyrannical heath bill, now more than ever, we need
leaders a time like this demands. If any of you are interested in signing up your sons and daughters to participate in these cities or if you desire to sponsor a KLI in your area, please contact us immediately to make arrangements.
May 16-22, 2010 Concord, North Carolina
You have come into the Kingdom for such a time as this!
The crisis of our times is a crisis of leadership. Biblically, God judges and restores nations based upon leadership. In light of these truths, the demand for godly, righteous leaders is not optional. The vision of the KLI is to identify, equip, and send forth the next generation of leaders. America needs leaders who will repair the breach and the restore the right paths to dwell in (Isaiah 58:12 & 61:4). In the time of moral, ethical, and spiritual crises, new leaders will emerge. The question is will it be of the ilk we have today that has brought America to this pathetic state or will it be leaders who are marked by courage, vision, and a Biblical worldview to see our nation restored?
We also live in an age that demands answers to perplexing questions that are threatening our children's lives, their faith, and their very future. Are we tired of surrendering them to the "Spirit of the Age" on the installment plan? Are we concerned for this generation that is set adrift with no purpose, vision, or sense of destiny to inspire them to hit the mark for their lives? Do we yearn for God to replace the apathy, lethargy, and indifference of this generation, which has led to tyranny with courage, vision, and a clarion call to vital service for King Jesus? Then the Kingdom
Leadership Institute is for you! The “Gentle Revolution” is on. Will you answer the call?
The KLI is a weeklong intensified discipleship training for youth. It consists of two daily class sessions, physical training, evening rallies and on-the-job-training. Topics covered include The Battle, Reformation, The Brilliance of God's Law, Righteous Judgment, Biblical Worldview, History, Courage, Vision, Abortion, Homosexual Agenda, Islam, Authentic Biblical manhood, womanhood, and the importance of a home school education.
God told Joshua to “be strong and of a good courage.” Therefore, the KLI will incorporate physical training. The righteous goal is to produce leaders who are strong of limb, keen of wit, and fervent in spirit.
Jason Dellinger, and other godly men will be leading the KLI candidates out to a park (Dorton Park on Poplar Tent) where they will undergo physical training. There will be a mix of boot camp activities, hiking, and games, such as football, dodge ball, and Frisbee.

Preparing To Publish Two More Books
The Lord gave the word: great was the company of those that published it (Psalm 68:11).
Our first book, The Kingdom Leadership Institute Manual continues to gain traction. We are grateful to the Lord for the lives our first publication has touched, challenged, and changed. The following testimony is typical of those who take the time to contact us after they have read the book:
Hey Rusty,
Just finished your book. I read it within two days. It is anointed my brother. F-a-n-t-a-s-t-i-c.
I am convinced that the Lord is preparing preachers everywhere, to publicly proclaim the gospel (especially in the places where Satan is publicly proclaiming evil,) who will be the catalyst to a family, church and national revival. I believe that God will raise up more of these kingdom preachers (with the biblical worldview you so clearly teach) as a result of your book. The book needs to get into the hands of every Christian father, pastor and preacher. You break things down perfectly. Again. very well done.
With that said...do you have any other resources...do you have some sort of weekly discipleship camp?
Secondly, I would to create a video testimonial for the book on youtube.etc. We are filming this week so I could get it done fairly quickly. I'll go ahead and shoot it and if you like it, feel free to use it as you will. (He immediately went to work and completed it. You can find it here on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZKQlY77gC0).
Thank you for your work for the kingdom Rusty. Please be encouraged and don't let Satan get you off track with what you are doing.
Pat
By God’s grace, we will press on and not allow Satan to get us off track. In fact, we just completed two more books that will be ready for publication soon. My lovely wife, Kendra, the Thomas Nation’s Editor in Chief, will soon make them ready for Tate Publication. According to our contract, they have first opportunity to publish our future books. Please pray that we will find favor and an equitable deal.
The two books that are about ready to be released are Abortion Violation: America’s Primary National Security Issue and Onward Christian Soldier: Guardians of Freedom. As way of teaser, here is a portion from Abortion Violation. The last paragraph states:
Abortion has wrought many other violations in our beleaguered land. This book has sought to emphasize most of the major ones. If there are some non-violations associated with abortion, all of them tend towards strengthening man’s inhumanity against man. In other words, abortion does not violate man’s greed. It does not violate man’s selfishness. It does not violate his blood lust. It does not violate enhancing his life at the expense of others. It does not violate the strong victimizing the weak. It does not violate the hard heart, the seared conscience, and the reprobate mind. It does not violate rebellious, autonomous men who seek to replace God and become a law and god unto themselves. No, abortion enables these debilitating, sinful propensities that plague the sons of men.
IN KING JESUS’ SERVICE,
Rev. Rusty Lee Thomas, Kendra, and the Thomas Nation
