Words of Woe and Warning to the
Foolish Shepherd and the Unfaithful Bride &
Words of encouragement to the
Devoted Soldier in the Army of the
Church of Jesus Christ.
Church of Jesus Christ.
A Portrait of the Endtime Church in America
Read Ezekiel 7 and 8; Ezekiel 34;
Isaiah 57; Jeremiah 9
We are re-entering the time
of the Judges. Our priests and kings
have abandoned God and have gone a whoring after darkness. The Shepherds have left the flock to wolves
and have delivered the sheep of God’s pasture to the slaughter. The Prophets falsely prophesy peace, peace, when
a sword comes swiftly. It is time for
judgment; judgment begins at the house of God.
Those who call themselves
Christ’s children, who claim to be of the household of faith in Jesus, must
follow Judge Gideon’s call to break down his father’s altar to Baal (Judges 6),
even those altars which are in our own homes.
“NO,” you say, “we’ve no such
altar in our homes!”
You are wrong, and you judge
incorrectly when you say you’ve no such altar in your homes!
Who is this god of Hollywood
whom you worship? Did he bring you up
from the pit? Did he die for your
sins? Is he your creator? Can he save you from death and Hell? Who is this Stadium god who commands your
worship on your Sabbaths and your holy days.
Who is this Nashville who entices you with his wickedness to bring
praise to Lucifer himself? Who is this
Disney who entices you to witchcraft, sorcery and demon worship? What are these books on your shelves telling
you to use mystical secrets to reach me?
Why have you made this god of
Hollywood (who is no god, but a demon) to be rich beyond measure with the
riches with which I, your Lord, have provided?
You are on the brink of bankruptcy.
Your debts pile up, and your houses are devoured, because you have sowed
into wickedness, and you have reaped corruption and poverty.
Search the cabinets, the
closets and the drawers, and see, and count the dollars you have spent on works
of darkness, purchasing your idols. You
burn incense upon the altars of your entertainment centers to your gods of
violence, destruction, profanity, lewdness, adultery, promiscuity, nakedness,
and many blasphemies against God Almighty and Jesus Christ, whose name is
continually used as a curse word by all who inhabit the wicked places of the
temples of Satan which are the movie studios.
Have you not heard that even friendship with the world is enmity with
God? Yet you go a step further in your
whoring and even worship these idols in your hearts, esteeming evil to be good
and calling godliness and purity evil.
You wrongly reason in your
foolish and adulterous hearts, that since you only watch, and partake only in the hallows
of your mind, that you are not guilty
of the sin and the worship of evil! You
foolish ones! Has not our Lord Jesus
said that to look upon a woman with lust is to have committed adultery? It is from the wickedness of the heart that
these profanities proceed. The thoughts
of a man betray him to God who knows all things.
You reason that you do not
love evil and violence. Again, you
reason falsely. Does the Lord even take pleasure in the
destruction of the wicked? Search the
Scripture you claim to know and see if this be so. Does God Almighty, the giver of life, take
pleasure in blood and destruction, even of the wicked (or the ‘bad-guy’ as you
call him)?
You take care to say, “Oh my
gosh,” and “Oh my goodness,” and all manner of other sayings; telling yourself
that you do not take the Name of the Lord your God in vain, and that your
speech is not polluted. Is it not in
vain that you take His name upon yourself,
calling yourself Christians, the Church, His Bride, His children,
while giving place to darkness, evil, magic, wickedness, blasphemies,
pornography, lusting after all types of pleasures and vanity in your very homes
and hearts?
Hollywood has become rich
beyond measure, and you covet her success and riches, and all this is done with
the help of My People. A people who
claim to be one body, who should care
for one another’s physical burdens,
who should have all things in common,
who should esteem others as better
than themselves, lording nothing over
the other: these same ones have purchased profane things---heaps and heaps
of profane things and tools of Satan in the form of movies, music,
images/pictures, clothing, tattoos, books, subscriptions and the like. My people have traded beauty, and the beauty
of My Holiness, for ashes.
How can we not weep, mourn
and wail and cry out to God in Jesus’s name for forgiveness when we realize
that we, HIS church, have strengthened the arm of the Devil himself! We have paid God’s money (for all we have is HIS), to our
oppressor and the accuser of the brethren.
We have made the enemy rich and have given him the needed provision,
with which he daily produces more and more filth, destruction, sodomy, death,
harlotry, hatred, reviling and blasphemy.
The enemy then uses God’s
money (which we, His children have offered as a sacrifice to the Devil in
purchasing his wares); the enemy uses God’s money, I say, to then produce more
filth, to sell your investment back to you at an even higher price! You are funding Satan’s war against the
children of God!! We have become a
stumbling block to all who would
believe!!! Who can blame them for their
sneers. Woe, Woe, Woe to us on the
earth, for we are fools who have sold our birthright to Satan for a pottage of
meat! (As did Esau-who lusted after flesh.)
Why does the church lament
the state of the children, the youngest and most tender among us? Do you not know why the kids are entranced,
enraged, rebellious, reviling, selfish, and hateful? Have we not purchased the tools of Satan,
have we not distributed these stumbling blocks to our children? Do we not know that in our present state, the
only fitting thing to be done to us as a nation of ‘Christians’ is that we should be fitted with a millstone and thrown
into the sea?? (Revelation 18:21)
We confess our sins, so we
say, but are we not even unaware of the greatest of our sins?? To turn away, and to offend, these little
ones who would love God, is to be Satan’s tools indeed. We have brought upon ourselves the
chastisement of God. Does He not reprove
and correct and chasten those He loves?
Are we better than the nation of Israel, upon whom God placed His Holy
Name? Do not be deceived and believe
that we can lightly and falsely ‘repent.’
True repentance means turning away from that which is evil. Truly repentant people would even willingly
take their correction and a punishment (as did the thief on the cross who knew
that he was there because of his own doings).
But this church blames the
world for the destruction of their own
children. Are we not the ones who deliver
our children up to the public schools, because we cannot sacrifice an income in
order to home-school our children? Have
churches not altogether left off educating children, abandoning the children to
the public schools while churches sit empty all week long?
Do we not purchase and
deliver, to our children, phones and tablets and computers with internet
pornography, mindless games, and evil entertainment and all manner of foolishness
readily available to our children? Do we
not purchase cable TV and other subscriptions and deliver them to our children
for their partaking? Do we not escort
the children to the temples of theater, wherein the children are instructed in
violence, the occult, magic, witchcraft, killing, abuses, homosexuality,
profanity, lewdness and blasphemy? Do we
not provide them with the god of virtual reality in video games, entrancing
them with sounds, and instructing them in the art of killing, violence, and war? Do we not buy them books filled with magic
and sorcery, or take them to libraries and let them borrow these books? Do we not run to and fro, escorting our
children to all sorts of games and clubs and events?
Oh, the last one will be the
one most will openly and vehemently defend, to be sure!! But will you stand
before God, and argue with Him in that day, that the time spent on sporting and
clubs was not detrimental and squandered?
Show me a child today who so loves God that he would rather read His Word than throw or kick
a ball (or do just about anything
else)! You err. You have not instilled a great love for the
Lord in your children’s hearts. This is
because it is not first in your
heart.
You have limited time in a
day; this is true. How are you spending that time? Does your Bible reading time, prayer time,
singing to Jesus time compare at all to the time spent in all the fruitless
works of the flesh??
I know, and I will assert,
that it does not. I have not witnessed,
nor have any witnesses been brought forth to me, to prove that the American
‘Christian’ mothers and fathers are leading their children more to GOD than
they are leading them to the useless things of this earth. If surveys are to be believed (and they are
heralded as true representatives of reality), then this nation has almost wholesale
rejected Jesus Christ. A nation that was
once mostly Christian. The reality is, that most believe no more than
the devils themselves believe. Even the
demons tremble at the Word of the
Lord. Most “Christians” do not fear God.
Was not God right to instruct
His newly born nation, when He told them to reject the ways and the gods and
the worship of the heathen nations? Give
no place to the Devil---NONE, NO place.
What place is there for the pagan gods of superhero-dom in the house of
the called and chosen and elect of God?
What place for pornography and lewd speech? What place for worship of any man or
woman? Do you not know that your praise
to God Almighty is incense to Him? Why
then do you ever praise man? Do we offer incense to men? Have men made us?
We cry aloud and shout and praise at our superheroes in the stadiums
today, just as they did in Rome. Satan
lies to us and tells us that we are different, that our praise to these current
men and women is somehow different. Why do we twist the Scripture and prefer the
admonishments of Satan, to the crystal-clear instructions from our Lord??
Who is there who will speak
for the Lord? Who will contend for
Him? Who will stand for the right and
boldly proclaim against the wrong and the evil and the leaven of the
Pharisee? Is there not a prophet of God in the land that we may inquire of
him and see what the Lord says? Will we
really believe that our enemy will be given into our hand in the day of battle,
when we seek not to the Lord and to
His prophets of old first? Jesus said, “Why do you call me, LORD, yet do
not what I say?” Consider, Church, if
these things be so.
Did Gideon receive help from
the Lord against the oppressors of Midian without first destroying the altar of
Baal in his own father’s house? How then
can we say we are on the Lord’s side when our own homes are full of filth?
Do not say this is not
so. Do not reason with your own selves
and say, “Nay, we have no wickedness here;
no foolish, vain (empty), beguiling works of darkness in our own homes.”
Search your shelves,
cupboards, walls, phones, DVR’s, computers, yea, your very hearts, to see if
there be any wrong thing within your temple or in your habitation. Why will you not break off from the works
of darkness to your own hurt? Is not the
filth all around you in this country adequate proof that something is very
wrong in the house of God? Are we too
stupid to read the Old Testament and see what befell all of the wicked kings of
Israel and Judah who refused to tear down the high places and idols of the
land?
Your children’s eyes are on
you. They look to you. Are you an ensign for the Lord? Or do you worship at the altar of pleasure? Does your heart go after violence, profanity,
death, wickedness, foolishness and sporting?
Why have you discarded the better portion of sitting at the feet of
Jesus??
You are not too busy! You have simply chosen the pottage of meat,
that thing which is dead, in favor of choosing life everlasting in the Word and
in the Holy Spirit, which is supposed to be the great gift of Jesus sent to us
to comfort us, guide us into all truth, preserve, protect and seal us unto the
very day of the redemption of our physical bodies.
The promise of abundant life
is misunderstood by those who think themselves wise. Seek the Scripture. See what the Lord says! Do not rely on others to seek for you. You, yourselves, have not because you ask
not; when you do ask, you ask amiss, seeking for the pleasures of the world
instead of for the Holy Spirit of God as the new church did in the book of Acts.
You prefer the muddied waters
which your slovenly shepherds have lead you to; and you prefer the rationed
portion of the Word of God, to your own hurt.
Because you will not take off the heavy burden the Pharisees have put on
your neck and the yoke of sin, those works of the flesh you carry with you, so
that you may be light of foot to ascend the mountain of God: for this reason
you are left behind, with Aaron and the Golden Calf of pleasure, whom you
worship with your skirts uncovered before God.
If we are to put to death the
works of the flesh, and every sin which entangles is to be cast off, so that we
may run the race and finish, and receive our crown from our Lord Jesus, why do
we not break in two and burn the
altars to Baal and Ishtar and Molech in our own homes?? Do you wrongly reason that the one who
created the ear cannot hear what is played and said in your homes? Can not the one who created the eye see all things (even into our very
hearts and hidden closets and cabinets and the caches on our phones and
computers)?
These works which elevate
witchcraft, sorcery, pornography, death, profanity, drug use and the seeking
after of Satanic power to morph and to transform the human into a super-human,
demonic creature, are EVIL. Man is
created in God’s image and was not created to be as the angels. Man will never evolve into a
super-human. It is evil to seek this
power. That is Satan’s plan to remake
mankind into his own image.
All the works of Marvel, DC
Comics, Harry Potter, Tolkien, George Lucas, Disney and the likes (of which
there are so very many) are used to deceive and to beguile the children and
to cause them to seek after the power to be like God. This is the stumbling block which we throw
before our children; this stumbling block will later become the millstone used to throw down Mystery Babylon once
and for all at the end of all things.
For Jesus’s words will be fulfilled.
Read the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John the Apostle for
yourself. The fall of Mystery Babylon,
the great whore, with names of blasphemy written on her forehead, will be a great
fall indeed.
Like ancient Israel, who had
covenanted herself with God Almighty, and betrothed herself to Him; we, too,
have gone a whoring after all manner of evil, vanity, violence, murder,
profanity, putridness, pornography, lewdness and sodomy. It will be because of God’s great mercy unto us that He will bring the chastisement and the shaking upon this nation, in order that
a remnant will repent and be
saved; for judgment begins with the house of God—then the nations of the world
will be judged.
Do not be deceived. Do not believe that we can serve two
masters—God and money. Do not say that
you cannot destroy that wicked thing in your house because you paid money to
buy that wicked thing! It is better to
cut off that hand which ‘makes’ you sin and to thereby enter Heaven as an
amputee, then to enter into Hell as a whole person. Better to cut off that foot which ‘makes’ you
wander into sin; better to poke out that eye that ‘makes’ you look upon the
evil thing, than to enter Hell in one piece.
Many will say, “Lord, Lord,”
to Jesus in the day of judgment; many will hear, “depart from Me, I never knew
you, you who work iniquity.” We need to
examine ourselves, daily, to see whether we be in the faith. Read the admonishments to the seven churches
in Revelation to hear the admonishments of the Lord to those whom He loves. For God reproves the sons He loves.
Return to God with a pure
heart, with your whole heart, and all your mind, soul and strength. Break down your father’s idols of impurity in
your homes. Cleanse your hand and your
hearts. The Lord is eager to show mercy
to the contrite and broken spirit.
Mourn, each of you his sins, then will the Comforter (the Holy Spirit)
be given you, to imbue you with power from on high to preach repentance and
remission of sins to all who need a physician and who seek a cure.
Do not let that deceiver
enter your ears and beguile you. He only
desires to take away your shield, your armour, your shoes and your sword; he
starts first by unbuckling your belt of Truth!
Then the whole armour of God falls off, and you are open to receive
greater lies and deception. Soon you lay
down your sword (if ever you had it), and your shield of faith, and then your
gospel shoes and finally your helmet are surrendered. See, you must receive a love of the truth
first; or else your mind becomes reprobate, unable to reason; and like a brute
animal, you surrender your breastplate of righteousness and trade it for a
covering of filth.
Evil is Evil. Sin is sin.
Wickedness, sorcery, pornography, lewdness, blasphemy, violence, the
occult and spiritism, hatred, striving, gossiping, lying, idleness, sporting
and all the vain and unprofitable works of the flesh have no place in the
Lord’s army, in His temples (His people), or His places of worship.
WE are at war. The battle is the LORD’s; but if we are the
Lord’s, then why do we give place to the flesh and to the empty pursuits of
this kingdom of darkness? The shear
amount of time which is wasted, squandered by the Church of Jesus Christ is
unspeakable. The Devil’s got the church so busy doing absolutely nothing at
all. We are all as eunuchs, impotent,
just as Satan desires.
The power of the Holy Spirit
is not on the greater portion of the “Church” of today, because the church has
greatly grieved the Holy Spirit with all of its idols. The faithful, many of the faithful, who truly
seek God, who sit at Jesus’s feet and worship Him and learn of Him, have left
off partaking with the loveless church of Ephesus, the money-loving, idolatrous
church of Pergamos, the fornicating church of Thyatira, with Jezebel seducing
the members to commit fornication and to eat things sacrificed to idols, the
dead church of Sardis which claims to be alive, or the lukewarm church of
Laodicea which is fit only to be vomited out.
No, the faithful church of
Philadelphia is hard to find indeed.
There are members of it scattered here and there in among the tares and
in the pews of the other churches. But
within those churches, the Philadelphians are silenced and oppressed. Those who claim that “iron sharpens iron,”
wish only to use their swords to cut down the faithful, rather than to be
sharpened themselves on the stone of Jesus and His Word. The unfaithful ones know not that they are
persecuting Jesus when they persecute those with little strength, who have kept
Jesus’s Word and protected it, and who have not denied Jesus’s name even in the
face of hatred coming from fellow brethren.
The blessed church of Smyrna,
the suffering, persecuted church, those on the front lines of battle in other
parts of the world (though some of our brothers here are persecuted and quietly
killed); that blessed church is all but forsaken by us. We do not fast, and mourn, and greatly plead
with God and men for the physical salvation of our brother Joseph, who is in
prison or hanging on the gallows. We are
like Judah, just before her final and utter destruction, not being moved by the
destruction of Joseph (the Northern kingdom of Israel, after the Assyrians
utterly destroyed them and took them away captive). No, we are not concerned with those on the
frontline—not in any meaningful
way. We say a quick prayer, maybe send a
few bucks, but that is the extent of our concern, if there is any at all. As to those on the front line, to those
engaged in battle and doing the work of standing up for their faith, we are no
real help at all.
There is an historical
account, of King David’s life, which illustrates some very important truths
about what is going on in the church today.
Bless the Lord, His Spirit has shown this to me today, for the first
time, and it is an amazing picture of all that is wrong in the church in this
country in particular.
If you remember, King David
(who had enticed and taken Bath-sheba in sin and had impregnated her) wanted
Bath-sheba’s husband Uriah, to engage in marital relations (works of the
flesh), in order to cover David’s sins.
Remember, at this time Israel
was at war. David, the king, and a
type of Shepherd for Israel, sent out his captains to make war with Ammon (the
descendants of Lot), but David retreated from the battle, to stay at
home and rest. Subsequently, the
Shepherd King, in his idleness, allowed his eye to tempt him, and caused
another man’s wife, Bath-sheba (the wife of captain Uriah, who was warring on
behalf of Israel), to be brought to him and to sin with him. And she apparently did not resist David and
did not desire to be faithful to her husband.
Bath-sheba conceived in sin a
child of David’s flesh. To cover the
sin, David wanted Bath-sheba to lie with her husband, Uriah, so that it would be
thought that the child she carried in the womb was Uriah’s. David called Uriah back from the front of the
battle, and enticed him to engage in the works of the flesh (in this case,
marital relations—which could bear no
fruit, since she was already with child), while the rest of the soldiers
battled for the Lord and the nation of Israel.
Righteous Uriah, out of respect to the rest of the army which was still
engaged in battle, would not partake in the pleasure of the flesh, neither was
he enticed to eat the great feast of meat (literal flesh), which David sent to
Uriah’s house. Uriah did not even wish
to be distracted by looking at his own wife, and did not go into his own house,
but slept outside at the gate.
David, asked of Uriah, why he
would not go to his own house, seeing as he had made the journey home from the
battle front (albeit Uriah had only come home from battle at his earthly
master’s command).
Uriah’s reply is good. He says, “The Ark, and Israel and Judah,
abide in tents; and my lord Joab, and the servants of my lord are encamped in
the open fields; shall I then go into mine house, to eat and to drink, and to
lie with my wife? As thou livest, and as
thy soul liveth, I will not do this thing.”
Uriah saw that his fellow soldiers were not in comfortable situations,
enjoying pleasures; no, they were in sparse conditions, with no comforts of
home, battling for the safety of Israel.
Why then should he comfort himself when his fellow soldiers in the Lord’s
army were embattled, encamped and being ready for war.
David responded evilly when
he saw that he couldn’t entice Uriah to unwittingly cover David’s sins by
engaging in pleasures of the flesh.
David called his servant Uriah to the castle to eat and drink, and
become drunk with wine, in hopes that in drunkenness, Uriah would be given to
sexual thoughts toward his wife Bath-sheba and thus finally cover David’s
sin. Uriah remained resolute, and did
not go home to Bath-sheba. David, left
with no other option (so he thought) conspired to have Uriah killed in battle.
David’s pride was so great,
that he would rather an innocent man die than that David should suffer a little
shame and have his sin uncovered before his people. His great pride blinded him and led him to
believe that the only way out was to ensure his own self-preservation by having
Uriah killed. After all, how would it
be, if the King who was supposedly a man after God’s own heart was found to be
an adulterer, and this during a time when the woman’s husband was at war on
David’s behalf? David understood the
ramifications of coming clean, and he was not prepared to suffer the
humiliation. No, his only option, all
that he could see as a remedy, was the destruction of Uriah. Uriah must be sacrificed so that David could
keep his pride and not ‘fall’ in the eyes of the people.
So David proceeded to make
sure that Uriah died in battle. David
had Uriah killed, but ‘appeared’ to keep his own hands clean from blood by
making the Ammonite enemies kill Uriah in a legitimate battle. Read II Samuel chapter 11 (and beyond) to see
this for yourself. David even enjoined
his army general, Joab, in this great sin.
The letter from David the king instructing General Joab to get Uriah
killed was even delivered to General Joab by
Uriah (unbeknownst to the faithful captain Uriah). The hardness of David’s heart at this point,
and the level of pride needed to carry out such a thing is unseemly, especially
considering that David was the chosen son to be the King of Israel. David was a man after God’s own heart, but
even a king can fall when he leaves off from fighting the Lord’s battle, and is
given over to pleasures and works of the flesh.
Thankfully this was not the end of the story, and David repented under
the heavy hand of God, and continued on to serve the Lord.
This historical passage is so
deep that it is a struggle to try and put it into few words. There is much here.
Zechariah 11: 17 Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the
flock! The sword shall be upon his arm,
and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye
shall be utterly darkened.
I see slothful, lazy, lustful,
covetous shepherds, who desire after the flesh and mammon instead of after the
spirit of God. They themselves do not
shepherd the people of God as Jesus the Good and True Shepherd did. They do not lay down their very lives for the
sheep. They do not forsake the pleasures
of this earth in favor of being at the forefront of the battle to lead the
sheep of God in this war against principalities of darkness. They do not lead the sheep by fountains of
living waters; no, they sprinkle with soft rain when a flood is what is needed
to wash away the wickedness and to cleanse the hearts, lives and abodes of men. They do not lead the flock by flowing and
living waters from the fountain of the deep as Jesus did. No, a muddy, shallow, infested pond is what
they provide, which provides more fleshly and spiritual hurt than healing. The waters are not stirred by the Holy
Spirit, that true healing may come. No,
muddied, unclear waters are what are provided.
Not crystal clear wells, which are dug deep and which spring forth from
living water.
They do not lead the sheep
into pastures of living, green grasses that give life to the sheep. No, dead, steaming silage and corn to make
fat are all that are presented to the sheep.
The sheep are confined to the stall as cattle waiting to be
slaughtered. Yea, the sheep as to the
slaughter are prepared by the
shepherd. As David lead Uriah to
slaughter, so the false and evil shepherds lead My people, says the Lord. Whereas Jesus lead those who would answer
the call, out into the hillsides to be fed by Him manna from heaven, these
shepherds confine the sheep, keep from them good food and living water, and
instead fatten the flock that they may be delivered to the enemy for the final
slaughter.
Jeremiah 11:21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have
not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks
shall be scattered.
Lead My sheep, oh you
shepherds! Lead them to Me. Entice them to come to the wilderness and to
be comforted in Zion. The Word of God
is not for sale—do not sell it!! I drove
out the money changers from among you, and those who sold you doves. My house shall be a house of prayer! Do not bring back the sellers who will only
make merchandise out of you. I own the
cattle on a thousand hills! All the
earth, and all that is in it are mine, says the LORD! What can you bring Me; what have I need of? You know, oh man. Bring a contrite and broken heart. A repentant and humble one will I receive. But to do justice, and to love mercy, and to
walk humbly with thy God, says the Lord.
But those who are proud, who need no physician, you shall remain outside
and stand and see the judgment of Almighty God and of Jesus Christ when He
returns in full battle array to judge, in righteousness and truth, the quick
and the dead. (Revelation 19:11-15)
God does not delight in
sacrifices and offerings; no, He desires mercy, repentance, and that you stop
offering up incense and money to the gods of entertainment, which you have
vowed you will never stop seeking after.
The Lord God takes no joy in
the flesh of goats, nor in the destruction of the ungodly. God is ready to forgive, to cleanse, to
comfort, to heal, to take you under His wings and to shelter you. But you must break off from the heathen, from
the works of the heathen, from the love of the world. Have NO fellowship with the works of
darkness, but rather reprove them, says the LORD! You are not to be partakers of the harlot’s
sins. Come out from among her My people,
says the Lord, that you partake not of her plagues which are soon to be poured
out, as on Sodom and Egypt in days of old. (Revelation 18)
Ezekiel 11:20 That they may walk in my statutes, and keep
mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their
God. 21
But as for them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable
things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their own
heads, saith the Lord GOD.
Is it a small thing to
ask—that you clean your own houses?? Why
do you build Me sanctuaries and then profane them with your half-hearted
repentance? Why do you weary of breaking
down and burning the idols in your homes and even in your churches? Is it a small thing that a nation covenanted
to God and betrothed to Christ Jesus has gone a whoring??
Blood-guiltiness is upon the
house of God and of His Church for tolerating this evil. Today is the day, tonight is the night to
obey the angel of the Lord as Gideon did.
Rip down that altar to Baal. You
may be afraid what your fellow servants might say—but obey! Is it right to fear men and forsake the fear
of the LORD?? Or have you already that forgotten that it is the fear of the
LORD that is the beginning of wisdom?
You quote Me and say, “My people perish for lack of knowledge.” Yet you continue in your lack of knowledge. Read
My Words, says the LORD God Almighty, or I will take them from you. And in that day there will be a famine of
God’s Word. You will seek to it, but you
will not find it.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days
come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine
of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of the hearing of the words of the Lord.
The Lord’s Words are being
spoken, but none are “hearing the words of the Lord.”
Oh how My children in other
countries LONG for and pant for the Word of God; and you dare to trample this
grace, this peace that was given your nation in My goodness. I did this for My glory—not for yours, oh
Harlot America! Yet you have left off
from the battle, as did My servant David in his day of transgression.
And to heap up sins you have
enticed my faithful ones to engage in fruitless works of the flesh in order to
cover your own iniquity. You have not
wept for the destruction of Joseph your brother. You have been enticed by the wicked one to
engage in pleasure as a slothful and evil-eyed people. You make up your eyes and get to your temples
of theater and sport, and to your many markets and food courts to make merry
and eat and be drunk with the blood of the saints, just as the whole world will
make merry and celebrate when My two witnesses are killed by the beast which is
to come. (Revelation 11)
Amos 5:10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and
they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
11 Forasmuch therefore as your treading is upon the poor, and ye take
from him burdens of wheat (your tithes to
your houses): ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in
them; ye have planted pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine of them.
12 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict
the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from
their right. 13 Therefore the prudent
shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. 14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live:
and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. 15 Hate the evil, and love the good, and
establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be
gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Read: Matthew 23
Oh you foolish generation of
vipers. You strain at a gnat, and
swallow the camel. You pretend to
follow, but your foot runs swiftly to evil.
You forget the cause of the orphan, the widow, the faithful soldier and
your brother in battle. How can you
revel in pleasure when my faithful ones perish?? That you cannot see this evil, and the evil
in your heart, therein is the reason you will need to be greatly, yes greatly, shaken. Woe unto them that are at ease in Zion, and
trust in the mountain of Samaria, which are named chief of the nations, to whom
the house of Israel came! (Amos 6:1)
Wake up out of your slumber!!
Fill your lamps and bring extra oil.
When the time comes, you will not be able to take the oil from, nor to
borrow it from your brothers who have been prepared. Your brothers have prepared their hearts to
seek Me and My face in all things. I am
with My faithful and wise virgins.
Yes, be as the
Philadelphians. If you hear My
voice---do not delay and say, “yet another day, when I am old, after my father
has died and I have lived my life and enjoyed the pleasures of this wicked
world, taken a wife, gotten children, stored up grain.” Read Luke 9:57-62
Do you not know that today is
the day of Salvation? Today is the day of repentance. Today is the day to obey the call of the
LORD. Perhaps this very night your life
may be required of you. If so, what will
you say in that day? Are you truly proud
of your slovenliness? Will you boast in
the day you stand before My face and say that you have done your ALL? Sell it all, sell it now!
Because thou sayest, ‘I am
rich, and increased with good, and have need of nothing;’ and knowest not that
thou are wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind and naked: I counsel thee to buy of Me gold tried in the
fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed,
and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with
eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many
as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if
any man hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup
with him, and He with me. To him that
overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne, even as I overcame, and am
set down with my Father in His throne.
He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches. Revelation 3:17-22
The unfruitful works of the
flesh are rotting as manure in My temple.
This stink is not becoming of the children of God and the church of
Jesus Christ. Our prayers to God through
Jesus are the incense we send up to God.
Therefore, clean your house, break down the altar to Baal as Gideon did,
and then the Lord will be with you in battle and He alone will provide the
victory and the salvation from the terrors to come.
Shepherds, be not as David,
enticing Uriah into unfruitful works of the flesh. If you will not repent from this, you will
find yourself going as far as David did, yes even having his fellow servant and
a captain of the Lord’s army killed, in order to cover his own sin. Let not the slothful and envious shepherd
rebuke his fellow servant who seeks the Lord.
If you covet the reward of Abel (that his sacrifice was acceptable to
God), then do the work of Abel—don’t slay your brethren.
The day will come, and is now
here, when those who deliver the lambs to the slaughter will think they are
doing God’s work. Repent, pastors,
shepherds of My flock. Break down your
own idols—break the union with Sodom—yes with Hollywood, with Nashville, with
those who entice you to be drunk, carouse and engage in fruitless acts of
uncleanness, with those who entice you into sporting and merrymaking during
days of war and of battle. Wrench the logs
from your eyes, you pastors of my flock.
Perhaps then you will see clearly to help My sheep get the dust you have
kicked up, out of their eyes!! Then you
may lead them to clear waters, to My whole and holy counsel in My Word.
If you will not leave off
from this sin, if you will not break the idols of the flesh and the sorcery and
the pornography by breaking with the kingdoms of blasphemy in this world, which
are Hollywood and Nashville and Disney and in all the stadiums where men
profane my Sabbaths screaming out their fanatical praises to men, and where men
go to temples of theater to see My name profaned, blasphemed and to lay
stumbling blocks before the little children who would come to me; yes, if you
will not cease from this, and break off from the Harlot, I will strike you with
a rod of iron, and your sheep will be scattered from your folds. Your treasuries which you have built up onto
yourselves will be raided by enemies and by the heathen with whom you will not
break league, and you will not see salvation in that day. No, even if you seek protection, you will not
find it. Just as the beast will hate the
Harlot Woman who rides on its back, so will the beast on whose back you ride,
buck you off and gore you with 10 horns and destroy you and stamp the residue
with its feet until you are utterly destroyed.
“I am the Lord your God, and I am a jealous God,” says the Lord. Fear Me and Give Me glory. Come out from the Harlot so that you do not
partake of her sins and that you will not partake of her plagues. (Revelation
17)
The days are evil. Walk circumspectly (taking care to look all
around you), and redeem (buy back) the time you’ve wasted and squandered in
taking your inheritance early and taking your ease instead of being about the
battle and the Father’s work.
We are all guilty, we have
all sinned in this. The estate of the
church in America is a result of corporate sin as well as individual sin. We, in our ease, have forgotten our great
need for God, and have thought ourselves rich when we are indeed poor as the
Laodiceans and the whole house of Israel before us. We have relied on our own right hand of
strength instead of relying solely on the Lord Jesus Christ. We forgot that God gave us all that we have. We are poorer in the knowledge of the Word of
God than ever before. We have forgotten
that we have an enemy, thus we have left off the battle and become friends with
the world. We all need to remember from
whence we have fallen, repent, and realize that as long as the breath of life
is in us, we can still glorify God and praise Jesus with clean hands and a pure
heart.
The enemy of our souls has
gained so much ground, yet the vast majority of the church is not engaged in
battle to take back that which was lost.
It’s true that we cannot win a battle ever without the Lord fighting it
for us. Just as in Gideon’s day, we must
be sure whose side we are even on. Do we desire to be tools of the Devil,
whether willingly or unwittingly? Must
we enrich Satan’s coffers that he may wage ever
more intense war against us? Or are we on the Lord’s side? If so, why do we do as the world does, and make friends
with them and mimic their ways. God’s ways are not our ways, and they
certainly aren’t the world’s ways.
Are you a shepherd who has left
off from protecting the sheep? Are you
at home, at ease while others battle to protect the sheep from the coming
slaughter? Are you enticing Bath-sheba
(the majority) to backslide with you and engage in sin and thus conceive
children who will also end up dying in sin?
If so, don’t try to entice Uriah (the faithful one) to come home from
the battle and revel with you in pleasure, that he may cover for your sin and
the sin of his backsliding wife who let herself be enticed by you.
Do you not see? The shepherds, who themselves are not
enjoined in the battle, will try to lead away silly women (an archetype of all
those who wish to backslide as did Lot’s wife) and entice them to waste time in
unprofitable things. This has been done
in the church for years. You,
yourselves, complain of the fruitlessness of your works. You weary of all the work you do and cannot
see a point in it. For all of your
striving, your programming, your seminars, your book-reading and writing, you
do not see the fruit of the Spirit. That
is because what is conceived is of the flesh (David and Bath-sheba) and is not
of the Holy Ghost.
You do not wish to enjoin
yourself to the battle by becoming men who are prayer warriors, who deny
themselves pleasures and instead seek after the LORD with all of their
might. You do not wish to labor as Paul
did; this is not your call, you say. You
do err. The called are faithful.
To be a shepherd is no small thing.
To shepherd a flock is to give your very life for the sheep. This is not an easy thing. That we have a nation of pastors following
after David in the days of his transgression, is a terrible thing. Why not follow after David and repent, that
the Lord may restore? Do you need to see
your child which was conceived in sin lying dead first, before you will
repent?
Please hear. You, which have conceived in sin, according
to the work of the flesh (adultery with the world, mixing with the world,
burning incense to the world and glorifying men instead of GOD ONLY), you who
have conceived children by enticing the wife of the faithful one to come away
with you and engage in unfruitful, worthless works of the flesh, you will
either repent now, or your fall will be just as David’s fall in days of old.
Which is worse: to repent
now, and to be briefly ashamed of yourselves and to be humbled, just as all men
ought to be anyway, and to perhaps save the life of your children who are in
Bath-sheba’s womb; or to remain stubborn, prideful and deny your sin, and
continue trying to entice the faithful Uriah home to you, that he, too, may
leave off from the Lord’s battle and His work, in order that your sin may be
covered up? I tell you, if you do not
repent, you will even give up the faithful in the church to be killed by the
Antichrist Beast and its system. And
your children will die (those converts in the pews which have been conceived by
the flesh and not truly converted by the Holy Spirit to repent).
I tell you, Uriah will remain
faithful to God, even though his wife (fellow Christians) will not stand up for
him to plead his case to David the Shepherd, in order that Uriah’s life may be
saved. The Shepherd (Pastor) and the
whoring wife will both stay in league and will pride-fully refuse to expose
their own sins. No, they will rather
sacrifice up Uriah, the faithful soldier in God’s army, and deliver him to the
Ammonites at the front of the battle, and then fall back from the fight and let
Uriah be slain. Is this what you desire
for your legacy? Is this that for which
you have ‘labored?’
And must the child suffer,
too, and die? The children in your pews,
your converts, who being conceived in sin (easy believe-ism), and not of the
Holy Spirit, and not in true repentance, must they too suffer and die because
you will not repent and suffer a little indignation, in order that the whole
household of faith may be saved?
I tell you, the faithful
servants of God and Jesus Christ will by no means join you in your reveling and
your reverie (sleeping), no matter how we are persecuted by you and called
faithless by you; we will not sup with
you, and join you in taking your ease; nor will we be enticed even to
fellowship with our lawful bride (which is to say our fellow servants of Christ,
with whom we are one body, as the husband and wife are one body).
Just as Uriah would have been
in the right, lawfully, to go to his own wife and to commune with her, so shall
we who are soldiering in God’s army on the front of the battle, in the right,
when we would fellowship with our brethren in our own body. But we will not be enticed to leave our
posts. We would rather sleep outside at
the gate of the city then to be enticed to remain asleep in your pews or to go
home to keep fellowship with the straying wife.
Just as Rome (Babylon) of
today calls back her “protestant daughters,” so the Church of America calls to
the individually, protestant ‘Uriahs,’ begging the faithful man to join them in
their rest from the battle and settle into the church with the dead children of
the erring shepherd and the faithless wife.
If you cannot see, I pray God that He opens your eyes to see what you
are really doing.
That which is wrought by
fasting (from evil, pleasures, and food), prayer and the Word of God (just as
Elizabeth desired for God to give her a son, and Hannah pleaded with God for
the same), that fruit will be alive and will be as John the Baptist and the
prophet Samuel. (Hannah was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord,
and wept sore. She vowed to God that if
He gave her a son (gave her fruit), she would give that child to God. That child was the great prophet of God,
Samuel.)
You cannot by man’s power and
schemes bring about the work of God.
Your programs fail because they are not God’s program. God’s program
is very simple and it is very simply outlined
in His Word. His whole counsel is available to you.
Quit consulting men and wasting God’s money on men’s books. Read your directions. Follow your directions. It’s not that the directions are unclear.
It’s that they ask an awful lot of you; that which you do not want to
give of yourself. Jesus spoke hard words
because He was only interested in true disciples.
If you are working for
yourself, then so be it. But if for
Christ Jesus, then deny yourself everything and follow Him by doing as He did
in all things. Jesus fasted; He prayed;
He denied himself and took up the cross for each of us. Or does the servant now think he is greater
than his Master and Lord and Saviour Jesus?
If you desire to be a king,
to be lauded by the Bath-sheba’s and to get pleasure and earthly gain from her,
then by all means, continue.
If you desire to be the
Lord’s pastor to the sheep of His
fold (not yours), then you have a different course before you. God will not stop a man from pursuing an evil
course. But God will surely judge a man who leads others astray from
following after the whole counsel of God.
Worse, God will surely judge
for the fact that children, who would otherwise follow God with a whole and
willing heart, are being led astray into pleasure, worldliness, sorceries,
wickedness, violence, death, blasphemies, profanity, drugs, sexuality, and in
the denial of very God and Christ Jesus.
Pastor, you have a pulpit—use
it!! Do not be as the false prophets of
old comforting the nation of Israel with sayings of peace when destruction was
at the door. Repent from whatever
idol(s) you yourself are
elevating. Break down the idols, or your
father’s altar to Baal (worship of the things of this earth—earth worship), and
be empowered by Almighty God via His Holy Spirit which comforts those who mourn
for their sins.
Buy back the years eaten by
the locusts. Buy back your squandered
inheritance. Come to the Father, not as
a son, demanding the Father’s blessings; return as the prodigal did as a
servant. The prodigal understood that
after having squandered the Father’s precious inheritance, the son was now only
worthy to go back and ask for a wage-eanring job and to be a servant. Not that your soul's salvation is of works of
the flesh; do not twist my words. It is
just that you desire to be greatest in the kingdom and to have son ship and to
be honored and provided for, but you yourselves do not desire to give all, to
sacrifice all you have, and to be the servant of all.
Quit thinking the children
owe it to you to provide for you. Jesus
said the children are free; it is the conquered nation who pays tribute
(tax). Why must you plunder God’s
people, and guilt them into providing for you?
Do you not know that a man who will not work to provide food for his
family is worse than an infidel (unbeliever)?
We, as the household of faith are to have all things in common and to
share one another’s burdens. We are not
called to burden others; that is the leaven of the lazy Pharisee who wishes to
burden the Father’s children with traditions of men and to plunder a widow’s
house for a pretense! Read Romans 8 and
see that we are free.
Matthew 17:24 And when they
were come to Capernaum, they that received tribute (tax/offering) money came to
Peter, and said, Doth not your master pay tribute?
25 He saith, Yes. And
when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying, What thinkest
thou, Simon? of whom do the kings of the earth take custom or tribute? of their
own children, or of strangers?
26 Peter saith unto
him, Of strangers. Jesus saith unto him, Then are the children free.
27 Notwithstanding,
lest we should offend them, go thou to the sea, and cast an hook, and take up
the fish that first cometh up; and when thou hast opened his mouth, thou shalt
find a piece of money: that take, and give unto them for me and thee.
Render to Caesar that which
is Caesar’s and to God that which is God’s.
You are God. Offer up all of
yourself to Him.
God wants to restore, but His
method is not your method. Covering sin,
or trying to get the faithful Uriahs to cover for your sin (of reveling and
reverie) is not God’s modus operandi.
Sackcloth and ashes. Mourning and wailing. Prayer and fasting. Do this today before the child conceived in
the flesh is taken from you, just as David and Bath-Sheba's child was not
allowed to live and be a blessing to David.
God will not forever allow the reward for your sins (the child/your
flocks/your churches) to remain. Do not
think that just because you have conceived a child (a flock in the pews) that
that child is a work of God. Only
children conceived of the spirit are alive and will live to produce fruit of
their own.
Jesus will come and remove
the lamp-stand of the disobedient churches.
(Revelation 2) He will not
forever suffer you to speak on His behalf if you speak wrongly.
For some of the Davids
(Shepherds) who do see great fruit (just as Bath-Sheba did conceive a child),
that growth in your church, if it is of
the flesh and not of the spirit, it is dead already. Unless the fruit is conceived by the Holy
Spirit, it will be dead fruit. Many
churches today are filled with unconverted converts. I believe that most pastors recognize this
sad reality. Many pastors even lament
it, but in the same breath fail to see their part in the conception and
delivery process. Tell me, can a child
be conceived without a father? Does a
child come forth without travail (work)?
If that work is of the flesh, the work is dead.
Do you have children who love
pleasure more than godliness? Perhaps
you, too, desire after the flesh more than after sackcloth and ashes and
repentance. Quit criticizing the flock
for their complacency. You are the one
who called for Bath-Sheba to be brought to you.
You went in unto her. You wined
and dined her and caused her to bring forth fruit. Do you wonder then, that her fruit is not in
accordance with true repentance? Please
consider this and see if it is so.
Be about the battle, all true
shepherds of God’s flock!! Repent now,
and even be humbled, lest you remain in your pride as Pharaoh did. Remember that God hardened Pharaoh’s heart
even more than Pharaoh had hardened his own heart. Remember that Pharaoh’s first born was taken
from him, just as David’s child with Bath-Sheba was killed. (Read Romans 2:5)
If God is chastening you, if
He is trying to flood your crusty heart with water, allow Him to soften the
soil of your heart that this root of rebellion may be rooted out, that you may
be converted again as in the first estate of your conversion. Remember the days of old, when your hearts
were set aflame by the Holy Ghost (if indeed they were set aflame), and seek
God and to Jesus that He may forgive your sins and heal your land.
Nevertheless I have somewhat
against thee, because thou has left thy first love. (As David did)
Remember therefore from
whence thou are fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come
unto thee quickly, and will remove they candlestick (church) out of this place,
except thou repent. Revelation 2:4-5
Today is a time of choosing
and of turning and of returning.
We have no need of a king to
save us, for no king ever has. (Hosea 13)
We need only a Lamb to redeem
us, and He already has. Hearken to His
call. Be wise and humble yourself under
the Almighty hand of God so that He alone will lift you up. Better to fall on the Cornerstone and to
repent, than to remain in pride and be crushed to powder by the Stone.
The peace of God and the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be upon all who are the called, the chosen and
the faithful to His Word. Grant to Your
children repentance in this evil day, that we may return to You, Lord Jesus,
with a whole heart, and that you will heal us and our land.
Isaiah 59:1 ¶Behold,
the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy,
that it cannot hear:
2 But your iniquities
have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from
you, that he will not hear.
3 For your hands are
defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies,
your tongue hath muttered perverseness.
4 None calleth for
justice, nor any pleadeth for truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they
conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity.
5 They hatch
cockatrice' eggs, and weave the spider's web: he that eateth of their eggs
dieth, and that which is crushed breaketh out into a viper.
6 Their webs shall not
become garments, neither shall they cover themselves with their works: their
works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.
7 Their feet run to
evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts
of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.
8 The way of peace they
know not; and there is no judgment in their goings: they have made them crooked
paths: whosoever goeth therein shall not know peace.
9 ¶Therefore is
judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but
behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
10 We grope for the
wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes: we stumble at noonday
as in the night; we are in desolate places as dead men.
11 We roar all like
bears, and mourn sore like doves: we look for judgment, but there is none; for
salvation, but it is far off from us.
12 For our transgressions
are multiplied before thee, and our sins testify against us: for our
transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;
13 In transgressing and
lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression
and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.
14 And judgment is
turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the
street, and equity cannot enter.
15 Yea, truth faileth;
and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and
it displeased him that there was no judgment.
16 ¶And he saw that
there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm
brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.
17 For he put on
righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and
he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a
cloke.
18 According to their
deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his
enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense.
19 So shall they fear
the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun.
When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up
a standard against him.
20 And the Redeemer
shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith
the LORD.
21 As for me, this is
my covenant with them, saith the LORD; My spirit that is upon thee, and my
words which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out
of the mouth of thy seed, nor out of the mouth of thy seed's seed, saith the
LORD, from henceforth and forever.
