Barry Hasan Durmaz

The distinctly Christian idea of government begins with oneself, family, church, state—in that order.

All controversies in those jurisdictions must hold court in order for injured parties and the accused to have a meaningful opportunity to be heard with compelling evidence. When injustices prevail in our nation, it is the church and the family that are at fault.

The Turkish Delight

Barry's Father: Impossible To Stop

Eulogy from my dad's funeral in 2007—

Today in America there is a great debate over illegal immigration into our country. And though the debate over illegal immigration might be new to many of us here today, the reality of illegal immigration is not new to a great country like ours. 

My father, Stephen Hasan Durmaz, a native of Turkey, arrived in America as an illegal alien. Over the course of years from 1954 to the early 60’s, he made a total of three attempts to enter into America before securing a legal status. 

On his first attempt he was a member of the Turkish navy when he decided to “jump ship” while they were ported in the New York harbor. His criminal activity was discovered, and soon after he was found and sent back to Turkey.  

On the second attempt he stowed away on an ocean liner headed for New York. When my father came out of hiding, he realized that he had come out too soon. The authorities turned the ship around and returned him to his homeland of Turkey. 

It was on his third attempt that he successfully positioned himself to stay legally by marrying my mother, who was a green-card-holding legal resident from Scotland. Through my mother he obtained his get-out-of-jail-free card, although he was still nervous about his newly established legal status and would instinctively dodge approaching FBI agents. 

To appreciate the character of my father, it is helpful to know a little about the family name—Durmaz. The Durmaz name is made up of two words: maz, which means impossible, and dur, which means stop. To be a Durmaz is to be one who is impossible to stop. That is the Durmaz character. And that was my father—a man with a destiny to leave his country, where Islam is the predominant false religion, for a land that has been ordained to be a light and hope to the nations, a city set on a hill. This is because the gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the proclamation of internal liberty from sin and external liberty from the oppression of man, has had its fullest effect in America like no other nation in history, reaching the highest sphere of civil government—the nation. 

Another character trait that embodied my father was his love of learning. And that is truly amazing because my father had no formal education whatsoever. In fact, because his father needed his help to build fruit farms in Turkey, my father went no further than an eighth-grade education. Yet despite that apparent setback of the lack of classroom learning, my father taught himself to speak the English language and thereby provided for himself and his family in America. 

I mentioned earlier that my father served in the Turkish navy. His job was that of radio controller and telegrapher—sending and receiving Morse code messages. When opportunity presented itself, he would turn the dial on short wave to American radio broadcasts—because he was determined to learn the English language. My father had a love of learning. That love has been burned into me, and now I in turn am imparting it to my five arrows. 

Because my father learned the English language and settled in America, he heard for the first time in his life that he was a sinner with the wrath of a holy God upon him and that the only hope of salvation is through the sacrificial death of the Son of God—Jesus Christ. Years ago I asked my father why he became a Christian, and he said that he knew the truth was not in Islam but in Christ alone. 

In addition to a love of learning, my father also had a desire to teach his children what he knew. I am so grateful to my father for teaching me the fine art of professional window cleaning—a trade he learned working on high-rise buildings in New York City. Some years after moving to Oregon in 1974, my father took me on window-cleaning jobs with him and slowly built into me a skill that would serve my own family as I built a window-cleaning business from scratch. 

As a result of what my father did to not simply give me a fish for a day but a fishing pole for life, I have been able to be a source of blessing to other men and their families as I have employed them in the field of professional window cleaning. Some of those men are here today, and I am honored by your presence that you have come to see and hear about the man who put me in business—my father.

My father had a love and taste for quality. As young children, my three sisters, my brother, and myself learned all about processed food industry terms such as BHA, BHT, preservatives, artificial color, artificial flavor, monodiglycerides, and other difficult to pronounce words.  In our household we did not get to eat those colorful cereals other children enjoyed. We saw the commercials on television, but my father worked hard to feed his children shredded wheat, Grape-Nuts, oatmeal, and has anyone heard of millet? The most exciting cereals we were allowed to eat were Honey Nut Cheerios and Raisin Bran.  

When it came to enjoying a big pancake breakfast, Mrs. Butterworth's and Aunt Jemima were nowhere near to be found on our table. Only 100% pure maple syrup in a tin can with a picture of a log cabin was on our table. I thank my father for teaching us children the difference between the “real thing” and what he called “imposters”, which are all for the sake of a quick buck. 

This is another reason that my father rejected false religions for the authenticity of biblical Christianity. He saw the impurity of false religion for what it was in contrast with the authentic taste of the good news of Jesus Christ. 

With the birth of our children over the last six years, my household was especially delighted to have my father at our meal table. My father served our household these past six years by assisting us with our children—simply by reading to them. They loved to have Grandpa Stephen read good books to them, and he would read to them for over an hour, they failing to comprehend how wearisome that could be to a man in his seventies.

The last few months of observing my father deal with his deteriorating health and learning of his diagnosis of advanced stage bone marrow cancer, though sad, has been a gift from God. In the last months and weeks of his life, there has been more communication and cooperation among us siblings to serve my father—that was previously foreign to us. I see a new work of God’s Spirit among the Durmaz adult children. 

We love you, Father, for your unceasing prayers and servant's heart for your children and others around you. We long to see you when we meet again in the heavenly kingdom.

OBJECTIVE #2

Resurrecting Church Government to
Overcome Ecclesiastical Strongholds

The Local Self-Governed American Christian Church

Exercising the three functions of government: 

Planning, Executing, and Judging for Themselves

Proclaiming spiritual liberty is the divine mission of the church, which is the voice of conscience to family and state. Conversely, evidence of a false gospel preached is oppression, powerlessness, and corruption by proud men occupying leadership positions—a present reality. The glorious and victorious governmental arm of the Lord Jesus Christ is reduced to ecclesiastical bureaucracies. Here is where we get to why family men displace their Christ-masculine authority. 

“Christianity has a masculine message of a husband who laid down His life for His bride. But we have an effeminate church preaching an effeminate gospel, proclaiming Jesus as Savior while ignoring His command for male rule in His kingdom.” 

—Zachary M. Garris; Masculine Christianity; p. 27

“…think about the connotations of sitting, listening passively, and being led. Is that more compatible with maleness or femaleness? There, in a nut-shell, is why today’s church attracts more women than men. Women don’t feel a need to prove their womanhood. Men, on the other hand, have an astonishing psychospiritual need to prove their manhood over and over and over. And sitting in rows doesn’t do it. 

Paul comments that “it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church” and to teach men. I suspect the main reason he was so extreme on that point is that it kind of puts men in the posture of women. Tragically, we today have put men in the posture of women—not by placing women over them, but by placing other men over them in debilitating ways. With the same net effect!

Christian men have a general reputation as being less like John Wayne and more like good ol’ Charlie Brown.…You don’t produce “real men” by making them sit in rows and listen for seventy years. You do it by making them stand up and boldly proclaim what’s in their hearts and in the Word.” 

—James H. Rutz; The Open Church; p. 174–175

It is my multi-decade experience that instead of remaining faithful to proclaim liberty throughout all the land—inspiring men to take action as men and inspiring women to take action as women, leaders in the church have displaced its revelatory and spiritual calling for an earthly one of professionalism and commercial/state identity. Thus the all-powerful Jesus, Head of His own body, has been displaced for a figurehead. 

I know by real-world evidence that men who preach and teach of a future hope in heaven while accommodating the evil empire are strengthening the hands of evildoers. By embracing socialism and any of its idealogical cousins, these men deny the power of the King to govern them in the “Now faith is…” reality of Christian self-government. 

The King’s gospel law is a call to well-ordered liberty.* This advance of the King’s mission was the work of the early church (33 AD–3rd century AD), the Protestant Reformation (1517–1620), and America’s founding era (1620–1820), resulting in hope to all the people of the nations who immigrated here for liberty and freedom.

However, when the church is no longer the salt and light of the land, the Head of the church declares that we have become “good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot of men” (Matt. 5:13). In other words, when all the religious activity of meetings, sermons, buildings, people, giving, etc. that ought to be good for something fails to preserve the land in virtue relationally, economically, and governmentally, Christ says we are good for nothing. 

Being good for nothing bothers my conscience. It has for many years. Reading, rereading, contemplating, meditating, and reflecting on these indicting words of Jesus Christ eventually moved me to no longer be part of this gross ineffectiveness of the Christian faith. I took to heart the truth that the head of every man is Jesus Christ. In other words, my individual obedience to Christ is not subject to anybody. Nobody! Rather, I owe unlimited submission and obedience to my Beloved as evidence that I am His and He is mine. 

Jesus is Lord of the conscience. It is my experience and conclusion that Jesus Christ will honor a man’s faith regardless of what others do or don’t do. My life over the past twenty-five years is proven fact that He honors the conscience of the individual who loves Him enough to actually obey Him. He said His commandments are not burdensome (1 John 5:3), so there is no excuse for disobedience to Him Who redeemed my soul from eternal condemnation. 

If you choose to get to know me and how I led my household these past twenty-seven years—most especially the last ten—through spiritual, relational, material, and financial wilderness, you will learn of the EVIDENCE I have that King Jesus honors his men of conscience to the utter befuddlement of the naturally-minded onlooker. 

My family has suffered much loss at the hands and mouths of false brethren and false teachers—men who promise hope of the King’s government for the future but who have no faith to surrender to His government today.** That is not demonstrating the love of the King for His people but is a deception to neutralize in them the King’s power to overcome false, seeable lawgivers (idols). I address this phenomenon in a burden I received from the King and presented to a gathering of the King’s people in Newville, Pennsylvania entitled “No Courts—No Justice”. You can access this word of the King online at our family ministry site: www.LibertyIsTheLaw.us. Watch or listen to this poignant word of the Lord and then share it with your circle of influence. To the degree that there are no courts of justice in churches, falsehood, theft, and murder prevail in our communities. I’m speaking by personal experience of having been murdered at least four times. Watch the video “No Courts—No Justice”. 

Therefore, I am no longer willing to support men and women who choose to play church as a temporal, finite game instead of as the governmental administration of the King. Hence, my message “No Courts—No Justice” is the beginning of casting abroad authoritative teaching to faithfully represent the heavenly Father’s right that His kingly Son possess a body that refuses to accommodate the satanic world order. Therefore, my family is meeting with other believers in the authority of the risen King to unite under His divine law of love as a work of genuine unity among His saints. We fellowship together, affirming the following realities:

• A revelation that Jesus Christ is alive evidenced by…
• …agape and phileo love as evidence that the King is alive from the dead
• Eating the King’s bounty of the Lord’s supper as a full meal
• Worshipping in Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual songs
• Every man contributing to the building up of the King’s body through psalm, teaching, a tongue, a revelation, an interpretation…(I Cor. 14:16). 
• Equipping families for the work of serving others to live in the King’s government
• Recovering the distinction between church meetings and ministry meetings 
• Praying for and exhorting the state to protect family and church
• Training men to govern their families according to revealed law 
• 24/7 reality of community fellowshipping
• Continued reforming for an increasingly beautiful adornment of the holy bride

Raising awareness with Contextual Models

• “No Courts—No Justice”
• “Rule of Men vs. Rule of Law”

Instituting Church Courts

• Convening Court

When the body of the King is unified locally, it will then possess the corporate authority to serve the state as the voice of conscience. That’s why loyal believers of the King in this country will marinate on the mighty works of the Lawgiver in America. 

One of my conclusions about our country is that even though liberal Democrats (socialists, Marxists, communists, etc.) and conservative Republicans (socialists, feminists, statists, etc.) are responsible for where our country is, Christians are most responsible for the conduct and quality of America. That is because the church of the Lord Jesus Christ is the voice of conscience to all areas of life. When the nation is corrupt and lawless, it did not begin in the schoolhouse, courthouse, statehouse, or White House. The church house is MOST responsible, for it alone is “the ground and pillar of truth”. 

Second to the church house is the man’s house because the home is the first jurisdiction of law, government, and freedom. In the beginning God created the family first as the foundation and training center of well-ordered liberty for the church and state levels. Hence, you are receiving this ministry case statement as the overflow of well-ordered Christian liberty in my household.

OBJECTIVE #3

Rebuild out of the ruins of Babylonian captivity in State

Resurrection of County Government To

Overcome Bureaucratic Strongholds

A Voluntary Union of Free and Independent States

Exercising the Three Functions of Government: 

Planning, Executing, and Judging for Themselves

Contrary to how things appear, the state governs only when it enforces our common law heritage, undergirding our supreme law of the land, the US Constitution. The confusion in our modern era is that our states are not governing but tyrannizing to the degree that they legislate and enforce man-made socialistic and communistic law.

The state is preoccupied with dominating over families and churches as it has been the previous 200 years. However, the higher truth is that the church has in many ways ceased “standing against the whiles of the devil” to admonish the state to serve as God’s ministers instead of as Satan’s tyrants. 

Having marinated in America’s founding history, government, and law for over twenty-seven years, I’ve become pregnant with what is good about America instead of focusing on what is wrong with virtually everything. A mighty work of our King in America is that our Founders were liberated from the Old pagan World of Europe of law for law’s sake in exchange for the New World of America of law for liberty’s sake. In other words, true law in this country is liberty to govern yourself. Hence, liberty is the law. 

Liberty as the law is evidence that America’s birthright (Declaration of ’76) and vindication (British surrender at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781) to self-govern was a shout of victory over the evil empire! Families, and only families, have the right to dominate the land, not the state and certainly not the church. The church’s role is to displace and destroy evil, and the state’s role is protection from evil. That leaves the role of dominion to the family, which makes for a free nation: Free people—free nation. 

Yet a never-before-seen victory at the national level did not mean that Satan ceased from his operations so that Americans could enjoy a peaceful, conflict-free life. The natural condition of our relationship gardens is not flowers but weeds (strongholds). Utter vigilance is required to maintain order in service to our Divine Savior King. 

“And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven 

suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.”

                         —King Jesus; Matthew’s gospel record 11:12

The manifestation of the King’s government in America brings Him glory. That is why the enemy has been corrupting and assaulting the family, church, and state the last 200 years (1820–2020). The launch of this ministry in 2020 was a shout-out that my family no longer consents to such evils prevailing in America.

One of the beauties of our common law form of government is the key constitutional officer at the county level—the sheriff. The county sheriff is the highest constitutional officer protecting the lives, freedoms, and properties of the families and churches within his county. 

Most sheriffs (not all, thankfully) are ignorant of the documented fact that true law in America is the liberty to govern oneself. They don’t understand that they function in a dual-role. The first role of the sheriff, as elected by the people in his county, is to protect them from encroachments and crimes from individuals and from county, state, and federal agents. You and I remain in our retained rights jurisdiction for all governance that has not been expressly delegated in our Constitution, which public agents take an oath of fidelity before the true Lawgiver to uphold. The second role of the sheriff is to enforce laws under his state governor that don’t exceed the governor’s limited, delegated jurisdiction. Idolatrous legislators each year diminish our God-delegated liberties to self-govern. Thank the Lord Jesus that in our form of government, the sheriff is a bulwark against such encroachments and lusts of legislators. 

A truly God-fearing sheriff has the discretion to not enforce laws that encroach on the people’s life, liberty, and property. Again, that is one of the beauties of our form of government—the people are their own rulers.

“There, every man is independent of all laws, except those prescribed by nature.

He is not bound by any institutions formed by his fellowman without his consent.”

-- CRUDEN v. NEALE, 2 N.C. 338 (1796) 2 S.E. 70 

Therefore, we the people will instruct and empower the sheriff to defend our families and churches by resisting lawlessness from socialists, Marxists, and communists who are prevailing under the sheriff’s jurisdiction. Because there is only one Lawgiver (James 4:12), the Lord Jesus Christ, genuine Christians are the only ones who understand justice as the Scriptures record and therefore the only ones who can lead legislation, execution, and judgment in matters of law. The state is His minister to enforce the law of the land, not aggrandizing bureaucratic agencies to the demise of families. The following are current projects to resurrect county government:

• American Sheriff at Common Law: a 12-part video course in cooperation with America’s underground lawyer, Brent Allan Winters, and Sheriff Dar Leaf of Barry County, Michigan

• Ancillary to the sheriff’s law enforcement by cooperate in creating, organizing, and deploying Committees of Safety.

• Raise awareness about America’s enemy with my contextual model: “Two Views of Life in America: Contrasting America’s Enemy With Americans”

• Biblical, historical, and constitutional resources supporting America’s common law way of life are available at our online store: www.LibertyIsTheLaw.us

Despite the Durmaz household not being protected by our county sheriff from encroachments to our lives, our liberty, and our property, I am leading my family in the resurrection of household governance under divine law and America’s heritage of common law and am freed from such bureaucratic strongholds as the following: 

• Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
• Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV)
• Department of Transportation (DOT)
• United States Department of Agriculture (USDA)
• Construction Contractors Board (CCB)
• Occupational Safety & Hazard Administration (OSHA)
