Angry Savior!
Fraud in the Modern Church

Before there can be power from God to heal, to make people whole, there must be purging, purification (v12), and prayer (v13). Then will come the praise.

• Purity (v12)
• Prayer (v13)
• Power (v14)
• Praise (v15-16)

These false workers of Jesus’ day, these workers of iniquity, were taking advantage of the people in the name of the LORD which is the definition of using His holy name in vain or for some other purpose other than true worship. Today is no different. Anyone posing as Christ’s servant who is not doing Christ’s Great Commission command He sent us to do, is a thief in His holy eyes and under divine condemnation. Thieves in the modern church world are posing as Christ’s representatives and yet not doing His work. Yet they get paid well for not doing what they are being paid to do. No, instead they are squaring His monies on building their own kingdoms. This is clearly fraud. They are supposed to be personally winning souls and teaching others to do the same (Ephesians 4:11-12). In not doing so, they are stealing from Christ and mis-leading eternal souls (Isaiah 9:16). These are conspiratorial wolves who are set for the destruction of souls as pawns in the hands of a vicious, devouring enemy who “walketh about seeking whom he may devour.” (Ezekiel 22:25-27; 1 Peter 5:8)

Did you note that Christ “healed them”? (v14) Jesus came to heal the lives of those He died to redeem and the vast majority of those in leadership today are doing no such thing. This is exactly what His true, “little flock” is all about – seeing souls saved and taught His Word and healed in heart and otherwise (Luke 12:32). Do you want to know who is wheat (authentic followers of Christ) and who the tares (counterfeits) are? Look, discern by the fruits (Matthew 7:16-23). Oh, and let’s begin with judging our own selves (2 Corinthians 13:5). The wheat are those who are on mission with Christ who is confirming His Word with signs following, especially the sign of changes lives (Matthew 28:18-20; Mark 16:15-20, etc.). They are doing what Jesus sent His people to do. Those who are not fully vested and on mission are the tares. “For by their fruits ye shall know (discern) them.” (Matthew 7:16, 20) Some scam churches make a vain attempt to make it look like they care for people, yet when you do the math on the money, you see the real picture. They “care” to build and keep a constituency of gullible prey who fund their circus they call a church. But who’s being born again? Who’s truly being saved? If they are truly being saved, where’s the fruit of truly changed lives and daily disciples? No, I’m not talking about the faked changed lives of those who are going through God-less 12-step programs from Rick “the devil” Warren called Celebrate Recovery! … not one of those “changed lives” are winning people to Christ … which clearly demonstrates their lives aren’t truly changed by Christ. It’s a fraud! Beware.

Jesus makes it clear that if we follow the money, we will see what a ministry, a church really believes and lives (Matthew 6:19-21).

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰ But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: ²¹ For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ²² The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. ²³ But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! ²⁴ No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.” Matthew 6:19-24

THE BIBLICAL QUALIFICATIONS FOR BEING AN ELDER, A SERVANT OF GOD TO OVERSEE HIS FLOCK, ARE FOUND IN 1 TIMOTHY 3. GO READ IT AND NOTICE THAT NO WHERE DO WE SEE THAT A PASTOR MUST BE COOL, BE ELOQUENT OF SPEECH, A GOOD ENTERTAINER, WEAR FANCY CLOTHES, HAVE A PIECE OF REAL ESTATE HE CALLS “CHURCH,” RUN A CHOIR, ETC.

—- EMBEZZLED, squandered funds!!!!! High treason in Christ’s name and right under our noses in churches and ministries! JUST HOW MUCH OF THE FUNDS FLOWING INTO THE CHURCH YOU SUPPORT GOES TO DOING WHAT CHRIST HAS NON-NEGOTIABLY SENT HIS TRUE CHURCH/PEOPLE TO DO? I’m not talking about a token percentage when the pastor is on a more than healthy salary and monies are gladly wasted on things, trinkets that have no eternal value! Jesus is going to clean house and He wants to clean the house of our own temples of the Holy Spirit first by causing repentance in our own hearts for supporting this type evil. This is high treason – right under our noses and in our midst! This is why they hate Christ’s watchmen … who are shining the light of truth on their darkness! Do you think those religious leader devils whom Jesus flipped were happy or repentant!!! Not! PAYDAY IS ON THE WAY. Jesus hates this evil and is going to clean His house of it – vanquishing all who participate as thieves in this den of thieves into the bowels of eternal damnation. These devils are doing this right in our midst and many of you are not only not standing against it, you are actually helping them do it by bidding Godspeed to these very enemies of Christ (2 John 7-11). In fact, due to your own apostasy, you revel, you wallow, you bathe yourself in this evil filth by supporting it (2 Timothy 2:3-4). You have migrated to the church you go to because you are not being called to repent and “be ye holy.” (Isaiah 30:8-9; 1 Peter 1:15-16) In your blindness, little do you realize that your eternal soul is dangling over the fires of eternal damnation being held up by a spider thread.

“But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. ² And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. ³ And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.” 2 Peter 2:1-3

Think about it: How many church attenders do you personally know who are daily disciples being equipped to live a life of lifestyle evangelism? Can you name 5 people you know like this? No. What about you? Are you comfortable and hell bound? Who are you communicating divine truth to? Who? What New Testament (Great Commission) ministry are you funding and supporting and praying with? If a church or ministry is not all about Christ’s Great Commission, you are helping a false ministry that is stealing, embezzling, and misappropriating His funds! It’s plainly a den of thieves! Laodicea is “lukewarm” and as sure for eternal damnation as if they were already there – “I know you not whence (where) you are! … Depart from me!” (Matthew 7:19-21; Luke 13:27, etc.) If you are not on fire with Christ and participating in His Great Commission, you are clearly out of His will and living in sin! “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21) Repent now. How much of God’s money did you waste this weekend on eating out and coffee and other waste and yet can’t invest the same amount in His kingdom work or in something that will help equip you to do His work?!!! It’s time to repent now. Stop your evil games and get real and get right with Christ!!!! You are dead in sin.

“Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.” James 4:8-9

“He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.” Revelation 2:7
