The fall out, the delusion of fools.
PEOPLE crying out to the LORD is beyond precious and yet, we must beware of the wolves in sheep’s clothing in our midst that Jesus and His holy apostles continually warned us about – who “lie in wait to deceive” – to insert themselves, who usurp a place of interception, where they interject poison for their own self-serving agenda, to intercept the affection of the hearts of men (Ephesians 4:14; Colossians 2:18-19).
“That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:” Ephesians 4:14-15
THE TEST: If it’s a move of God, sin, repentance, hell, holiness, judgment to come, Jesus Christ, and the cross He commanded we take up daily WILL BE PREACHED!
“Revival” as the word is used among church leaders, is an indu$try to them – something they concoct, fabricate, and perpetrate on the people! Beware saints. These same men are not calling men to repentance, to the cross, to be set apart holy to the LORD. Therefore their enterprises are not legitimate, are not a true move of God. They emphasize and use the fanfare to draw the gullible to their “revivals” to win them to their fraud movements and organizations and churches.
Just what are people being won into?
“Any objection to the carryings on of our present golden-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, ‘But we are winning them!’ And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world’s treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course, the answer to all these questions is no.” From chapter 30 of “Man – The Dwelling Place of God” by A.W. Tozer (1960)
From an eye witness to the sodomy at Asbury:
“Thank you. This is an eye witness to the sodomy at Asbury. Anyone who still defends this abomination called Asbury “revival” is an antichrist. 100%.”
The separation is a blessing (Matt 10:34) and is ordained. We are seeing those whose hearts, consciences are captive to the WORD of God and those who are in rebellion – “NOT of God” (John 8:47). This is not even close. For weeks now this type of exposure has been coming out in the open and STILL those who defended this demonic staged delusion are defending it. They are “NOT of God” according to Jesus (John 8:47).
The word “revival” appears nowhere in God’s Word. “Repent” or “Repentance” appear 72 times. Let’s get a clue. This is a message in and of itself. We don’t need man’s staged “revivals,” we need to repent before a Holy God!
“The purpose of worship is not to obtain an emotional high, to placate the flesh or be entertained. It’s not a theater stage for dramatics or performance. The purpose of worship is to honor, glorify, and praise our holy God ‘in spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24).'” Unknown
It’s only the biblically illiterate who are also rebels, lawless, and refusing to seek God in HIS Word for themselves, who get gleeful when they hear that a new “Jesus” or “Bible” movie from heretics and Catholics is coming out. Laughably delusional. Hell awaits. 2 Thessalonians 2. Read it. KJB. They have openly rejected the knowledge of God.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because THOU HAS REJECTED KNOWLEDGE, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law (Word) of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
I am thinking, in my limited scope, that perhaps we have made “revival” out to be something we do not see in Scripture. The Word never even appears. “Revive” does, and re-vive or resurrection, re-filling with life, comes when we are crucified, dead and buried with Christ. Yet the cross is never even mentioned in what is being called “revival.” The whole industry of “revival” doesn’t seem to fit with what we see in the history of the early church. Firstly, can a group of men just decide to stage a “revival” by planning it and promoting it and saying that there’s going to be a “revival” as if men control such? And, in these “revivals” it’s all about the Holy Ghost and not Jesus. Huge red flag, right? Read John 16:13-14.
It’s never coming out of the WORD itself and it’s always about the men and their supposed mission and never about Christ. It’s all about the idol “revival.” People travel across the country to get some feeling and yet, now we know that any spirit giving people those feelings, was not the Holy Ghost at Asbury – a sodomite camp that has a satanic labyrinth on campus. It was “another spirit” which is a devil (2 Corinthians 11:2-4; Galatians 1:6-9).
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“The great falling away will happen because of the shallowness of these false revivals not producing anything of any substance. People are going to become delusioned because there was no change or conviction. Because they were not based on the word of God producing repentance which produces changed lives.” Darrel Moore
REPLY:
Yes, we are seeing what seems the fulfillment of 2 Thessalonians 2, where the “strong delusion” is right in the midst of that which claims to be Christ’s body. No doubt Paul’s tears and anguish were over the LORD showing him that wolves were coming from within to mislead sheep away from Christ (Acts 20:29-32).
Division, the Dividing Sword – Matthew 10:34
“There is a big difference in ‘all HAVE sinned’ and those who continue to practice sin while claiming to be a preacher or evangelist! Seriously, I am so sick of that mantra being used (by wolf defenders) anytime a watchman does their job and warns!” Gloria Marshall Sykes
“The sheep and the goats are being decisively separated in the church today as we speak. The end times that we are in is characterized by the great falling away, not a time of ‘revival’.” Barbara
The cry echoed by a myriad of wolves is “The church needs a revival,” and yet repentance is seldom mentioned. Think: Why would they bother mentioning repentance when they never mention sin? There are 17 soul damning sins specifically cited in Galatians 5:19-21 alone. Many are gullibly buying into the “The church needs a revival” without testing who is saying this nor comparing it to the Word of God (Acts 17:10-11; 2 Timothy 2:15). The first word and divine command of the original Gospel is “Repent” (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19, etc.). So, this begs the question: WHAT are they reviving people into? WHAT are they reviving in people? WHAT are they winning people to? It certainly can’t be that people are being won to Christ when it’s not His Gospel being preached but rather “another gospel” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9).
The following New Testament essential, preached by Christ and His holy apostles as an imperative, will never be heard in the vast majority of modern churches or any of these fake “revivals.”
“Bring forth therefore fruits meet for (proving, consistent with) repentance: 9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. 10 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees: therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.” Matthew 3:8-10
Clear proof that true and imperative repentance will always bring forth the fruit of holiness, a set apart life.
Memory verse:
“He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.” Proverbs 28:13
Confessing AND forsaking our sins proves we’ve repented. Anything short of overcoming reveals the absence of true repentance and the crucified life.
Let’s cease making claims when there’s no evidence of the delusions we believe. Stop it. JUST because YOU want something to be true, DOES NOT make it true. Repent.
The Jesus Revolution is just the latest “I-want-it-to-be-true-because-i’m-too-lazy-to-read-God’s-Word-for-myself” movie deception.
Claiming that those who don’t like your latest little “Jesus” movie are pharisees seems no different than clue-less, debunked Democrats saying conservatives are “racist”….. all for not agreeing with their conclusions. Discernment is biblical, not pharisaical. It is the mandate of God for His true disciples (Matthew 7:16, 20; Acts 17:10-11; Romans 16:17-18; Jude 3-4; Revelation, etc.).
At this point it is becoming increasingly obvious that the prophesied great apostasy is coming from within professing Christianity. Read 2 Thessalonians 2. All the high staged “Christian” sources are promoting it. But does that make it legit, of God? No! (Luke 6:26.)
No great awakening or great revival is coming. The Bible foretold the great falling away. Read 2 Thessalonians and cease following mere men (Isaiah 2:22).
AND all this fanfare is for no small purpose, and the agenda is to deceive if it were possible, the very elect (Matthew 24:21-24).
We just saw, in living color, out in the open for all to see…. WHO is “of God” and who among us is “NOT of God” (John 8:47). This was a test run – and all who will bow to the antichrist were made manifest for all to see (1 Corinthians 11:19). A few will repent and the rest will remain in darkness and plunge headlong and irrevocably into the flames of eternal damnation for loving darkness rather than light, for not choosing the fear of the LORD (John 3:19-21; Proverbs 1:29).
HAVE YOU noticed the crickets? WE are now marked safe from the demonic hoards who came out of the woodwork to defend a 100% clearly proven debunked “revival.” Few if any have openly admitted they were wrong. Soul damning pride, arrogance. The LORD saw how bold they were to defend the works of His very enemies and yet say nothing against those works of darkness now that they are openly exposed.
Biblical truth: From the beginning, God ordained that His people learn of Him via HIS words and not a movie, “revival,” or a production, or anything else produced by sinful men (Deuteronomy 4:1-10; John 5:39-40; 2 Timothy 2:15, etc.). The written Word is where we have the perfect, permanent, portrait of our LORD. It’s beyond gullible to think that sinful men can depict the image and doctrine of the infinite Almighty God. God’s Word reveals that “Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” and that’s how we were given the very Word of our God which “is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21). THAT’s where so many are deceived. If they were truly saved, they’d be in the Word, and would not be falling for every wind of false doctrine coming down the pike via wolves in sheep’s clothing. True elders in Christ’s body are diligently grounding souls in the Word of God itself – so that they are healthy and growing in Christ, protected, and speaking the Word of God. Read Ephesians 4:11-15.
WITH no exception, anyone being used of God is grounding their audience in the final divine authority of God’s written Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.). All others are frauds.
Lynne Parker writes:
“Christians will be tried by the Word in this hour. There is no more riding the fence or taking a neutral position. God Himself will place us all in a position to stand or fall according to the Word. “Deception” and its sister “delusion” are gripping the Body of Christ, and like a dark cloud it is covering the land. The false dominion (NAR) theology and signs and wonders movement has effectively conditioned multitudes to forsake the authority of God’s Word and embrace their subjective feelings as guidance in discernment concerns. But in these latter days only those who divorce their feelings and trust only in God’s Word and have developed a love for the truth will overcome the devil’s schemes. Sadly many will be lost – it’s unfolding right before us.”
What has come to light in this separation of the sheep and goats, the wheat and the tares….
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18
ANYONE who doesn’t presently have and hold God’s written Word as the final divine authority of their life, is “NOT of God” (John 8:47). To date, such rebels have foolishly, arrogantly sought to elevate their puny-ness above or on the same level as the Most High. Pride causes fallen men to be wise in their own conceit (Proverbs 16:18).
“Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. 7 Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil.” Proverbs 3:5-7
Why would we question God?
“Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?” Isaiah 45:9
Like their father the devil, pride will be the eternal undoing of all who do not hearken to, learn, and live the words of God (Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:12-19; Luke 10:18; Revelation 12:7-12). It’s an open book test – the books shall soon be opened to judge the wicked (Revelation 20:11-15).
“Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isaiah 45:22
EVERY person who bought the lies of Asbury, He Gets Us, the Jesus Revolution, or The Chosen, does NOT hold God’s Word as final divine authority. They live by their own feelings instead because they are “(..enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” In other words, they are full of self and rejected by the Savior.
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19
FLASH POINT: Nothing is “biblical,” or “is of God” just because it made You, a sinner, to feel good (John 8:47). Repent now – you are an antichrist who is living in the flesh (Romans 8:5-6; Philippians 3:18-19).
IF the name of Jesus Christ, His Gospel, His words, if sin, repentance, the cross, judgment, and holiness aren’t being preached, it’s NOT of God! (See John 8:47.) It’s a revival of deception, not truth! Mark these vile wolves (Romans 16:17-18).
Any person who thought this was a move of God has got a wake up call – but only if you seize the moment. You are in big trouble, in deep darkness, and in utter need of true repentance, fasting and prayer, and getting in the Word (KJB) like your life depends upon it – because it does. Otherwise the flames of eternal damnation shall feed upon your rebellious soul. Repent now. Re-turn to Christ with absolute reckless abandon!
To a lady who is insisting that this scam “revival” is true, based on her own feelings, using not even one Bible verse, the following reply was given:
You are plainly resting your case upon and admitting you are trusting in your own heart and feelings and not God’s Word (Proverbs 28:26), which apparently you do not know and will be “destroyed” if you don’t repent (Hosea 4:6). Are you going to blasphemously claim that God is blessing what He calls an “abomination”? See Leviticus 18:22; Romans 1.
To those still daring to defend the works of Satan (Asbury, the Jesus Revolution, The Chosen, He Gets Us)….while claiming to be saved: Do you care what the BIBLE says? According to Jesus, such proves if we are “of God” or “NOT of God” (John 8:47). How can people possibly defend something like this – just because it makes THEM feel good? Simple: They have refused to truly repent, die to self, take up the cross, and follow Jesus in the crucified life and so they serve the god of self (Matthew 16:24-25; Galatians 2:20; 6:14; Philippians 3:18-19, etc.).
It simply doesn’t matter how many gullible, biblically-illiterate people attempt to prop it up, Asbury simply, clearly, miserably fails the biblical test for a move of God (Acts 17:10-11; 1 Thessalonians 5:21, etc.). No Bible. No repentance. No mention of Jesus Christ. Overt celebration of the “abomination” of sodomy (Leviticus 18:22), etc.
The frenzy, fanfare, and pandemonium of the fake “revivals” is all about the revival itself… and not JESUS CHRIST (Colossians 2:8-10, 18-19). The feeling, the experience, is what is promoted and magnified, never Christ Himself. This is 100% “the spirit of antichrist” – anti means in place of. Jesus is not only demoted, He’s never even mentioned in these fraud “revivals.”
Have you ever noticed that when there are fake revivals the idol is actually the revival itself and the supposed feeling people are getting and it’s never based on or grounded and centered upon the Word of God? They barely opened the Bible at Asbury and when they did it was a fake lame satanically corrupted version.
You Still Going to Claim Asbury wasn’t Staged?
More egg on the face of those who insist that Asbury was a move of God. What are the chances…. unless it’s all contrived?
More proof Asbury was staged. This current “revival” at Asbury began in February 2023. And, what are the chances of this “God revival” in the same month, each time it happened with the exemption of once in the neighboring month? Hmmmmm. This is from the Asbury Seminary website:
NEW THOUGHTS ABOUT ASBURY:
BACKFIRES ARE A REALITY – ALWAYS HAVE BEEN!
The greatest backfire in history is when the antichrists, the enemies of the LORD Almighty crucified the LORD Jesus who was to their horror raised again from the dead whereby death, hell, the grave, and Satan were defeated! (See Colossians 2:14-19; Hebrews 2:9, 14-15.) Jesus defeated death BY DYING – whereby He shed His precious blood on that cross, was buried, and resurrected – which was the greatest event in human history!
“The princes of this world” in the verse below refer to demonic spirit beings in the heavenlies and to their human agents on earth (Ephesians 6:12).
“Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” 1 Corinthians 2:8
“They didn’t understand the hidden wisdom of God (Christ on a cross) or realize that their murder of the Holy Son of God would result in their own destruction. Had they known the ways of God, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.” Believer’s Bible Commentary
Applying the Backfire Principle (reality) to What’s Transpiring Today
COULD IT BE possible that these fake revivals will result in a backfire on Satan and his evil human agents? One thing is for certain, people are hungry for God…. they know something is missing in their lives.
People seeking God, hungering for what is missing in their lives – JESUS – is a blessing. Yet wolves who capitalize upon, who exploit, and make merchandise of these people is diabolical! (See Matthew 21:15-17; 2 Peter 2:1-3, etc..)
AND, you and I, Christ’s disciples are to be blessed, busy with communicating His whole-counsel truth to them, showing them via the 10 Commandments how they’ve sinned against God and are in need of REPENTANCE and to RECEIVE Christ who died, was buried, and raised again from the dead to justify them (Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21; John 1:12; Romans 10:9-13).
“Asbury celebrates the abomination of Rome called the eucharist- with openly gay people without any shame or fear of God. Rome lets gay, pedophile PRIESTS conduct what should be a holy “remembrance” of the death of Christ, but the great harlot decided to pervert the remembrance into a trans-Jesus WAFER GOD. Apostate churches fellowship with sodomites as if they are on the narrow road to heaven. They assure hell-bound sinners “peace and safety,” and “No evil will come upon you”; “Ye shall not surely die” if you “Do what thou wilt” contrary to Christ’s commands. They don’t cast known fornicators or pedophiles out till they repent, as commanded (1 Corinthians 5). They are proud of their FALSE LOVE spirit of Jezebel, teaching fornication and sacrificing to devils is acceptable by their heinous example. They cover the sins of pedophile priests by moving them to a different parish so they may continue abusing boys undetected.” AR
If Fox and CBN are promoting it, what does that tell us?
SO God is now putting His blessing on a camp that is promoting what He calls an “abomination” – homsexuality? (See Leviticus 18:22.) Hmmmmm. More paid cri.si.s actors? Time to wake up people. Read the Bible, the King James Bible. WHAT “spirit”? “Another spirit” (Galatians 1:6-9; 2 Corinthians 11:2-5).
There is No Cross at Asbury and on this fact alone, it’s a false revival.
Can there be TRUE reviving? YES! AND true reviving – resurrection, only comes from God when His child chooses to die the death – to be daily crucified and buried with Christ (2 Corinthians 4:10-12). God raises no one up who doesn’t choose to die downward! Any supposed “revival” that doesn’t have the cross of Jesus Christ at the center of it is absolutely false. And so anyone being led to promote or defend it is under the power of a deceiving spirit, the spirit of antichrist. Repent now. Turn to the LORD Himself for real. Lay down your life in this fleeting world and abandon yourself to the One who made you and came and died the redeeming death, was buried, was raised again from the dead, and is coming back for His own!
God says we’re fools if we believe He’s going to raise up someone who’s not dead and buried.
“Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened (resurrected, revived), except it die:” 1 Corinthians 15:36
God raises up – revives – no one who isn’t dying downward! Read Romans 6 each morning this week. Die to self. Crucify the lusts of the flesh and walk with Jesus in the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-24).
The LORD is not going to raise someone upward – revive them – who doesn’t repent and die to self. So, any supposed “revival” that doesn’t have the cross of Christ at the forefront is a false revival. 100%.
If there is no cross in the message, there is no Gospel. It’s a false gospel, “another gospel” (2 Corinthians 11:2-5; Galatians 1:6-9).
WHERE O WHERE is the cross in today’s modern church world? If you aren’t hearing it constantly, run for your life. You are sitting under those who are the very “enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly.”
“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19
WHERE is the cross being preached at Asbury – the blood of His cross and the one He commanded you to take up daily? Read Luke 9:23-24; Colossians 1:20. IT’S NOWHERE TO BE FOUND AT ASBURY – and so any and every person who condoned this atrocity is guilty of using the name of the LORD in vain and in need of repentance, now.
Coming out of Her is a divine mandate, a necessity to be saved!
“Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.” 2 Corinthians 6:14-18
False prophets speak about love and unity – yet it’s never verbalized by them that the only unity the true body of Christ has is with those who also rest in, embrace, live out and hold to the final divine authority of God’s written Word. All other unity is false, fleshly unity. True servants of the LORD speak about Jesus Christ and His redemption, the blood of Jesus, holiness, the cross, judgment, sin, repentance, being ready for the return of Christ, and truth. Beware.
“The elder unto the wellbeloved Gaius, whom I love in the TRUTH. 2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 For I rejoiced greatly, when the brethren came and testified of the TRUTH that is in thee, even as thou walkest in the TRUTH. 4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in TRUTH.” 3 John 1-4
In His prayer to the Father, Jesus makes it clear that His Word, the exclusive island of His truth, is where His saints are sanctified – where they are set apart as His special, only bride. All others are outside of His kingdom.
“Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.” John 17:17
The primary way God leads His New Testament body is by His written Word. His true disciples have no unity with those who are not born again AND presently abiding, walking by and in the record of Holy Scripture (Psalms 119:105; John 10:35; 2 Timothy 3:15-17; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 12-21, etc.).
Jesus teaches us that real change and the “manifest” presence of the LORD only come to those who embrace His Word, who love, worship, and obey Christ (John 8:47; 14:21-23). These blessings don’t come from going to a supposed “revival” and praising and worshipping the LORD endlessly. There is no magic bullet in Christ’s kingdom but there is a cross to be born, “daily” (Luke 9:23-24). Out of that abiding relationship with Christ, practically walking with Him daily will be the progression of “fruit… more fruit, much fruit” produced in our lives (John 15). Time to get into the trenches and stop buying Satan’s lies. The cross, the trench equals your own death and burial and guarantees the resurrection of Christ – raising you in His glory, His grace, His power, and His victory! Read 2 Corinthians 4:10-12.
“I asked one of the revival faithful to share at least one real testimony and was attacked in an accusatory way…no true testimonies are available apparently.” Barbara
DOES GOD want to pour out His Spirit on His people? YES! (Book of Acts!) The LORD desires to pour out His Holy Ghost and yet, how do we behold Him doing that in His Word? See John 14:21-23 if you want more of Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Ghost. We know it’s not the LORD pouring out His Holy Spirit on any person, movement, or assembly where HIS WORD is not clearly honored at the forefront of it all, the groundwork of that working of His Spirit. Those who honor God honor His Word – otherwise they despise the Almighty and are antichrists.
“He that is OF GOD heareth (Honors, esteems, holds to, obeys) God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are NOT OF GOD.” John 8:47
When and every time God’s Word is not front and center, no matter what’s done, it’s “another spirit” flooding that atmosphere on the wings of the rebels who preach “another gospel” which is elevating “another Jesus” which is a demon. “Seducing spirits (demons) and doctrines of devils” are inseparably intertwined.
“Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” 1 Timothy 4:1-2
Acts 17
On Mars’ Hill, the apostle Paul “preached unto them Jesus, and the resurrection” (v18), and then he preached on their sin of idolatry (v29), then he preached that “God…now commandeth all men every where to repent” (v30). And he preached “judgment to come” (v31; Acts 24:25).
The result:
“So Paul departed from among them. 34 Howbeit certain men clave unto him, and believed: among the which was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.” Acts 17:33-34
Beware of the Cessasionists
Beware of those counterfeits who come in on the wings of an obviously fake revival and blaspheme the LORD by taking away from His stated New Testament program – which includes His desire to fill, to baptize each and every one of His children with His Holy Ghost. Beware saints. God’s people sinned when they “limited the holy one of Israel” (Psalms 78:41).
“Yea, they turned back and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.” Psalms 78:41
We are pressing forward and not drawing back (Philippians 3:13-14; Hebrews 10:38-39).
The following is a divine command:
“Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:” Psalms 103:2
Bible Fact/Truth: The LORD wants you full of His Holy Ghost! And no man can change that. See Holy Spirit category.
“The doctrine of Christ” is all of what the Bible says about Him and all that He and His apostles taught. Anyone who doesn’t remain in the doctrine of Christ, the whole counsel thereof, after being saved, is a hell bound rebel.
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in (remains not in) the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.” 2 John 9
Many today have chosen to reject certain portions of God’s Word due to not liking what it says. Many today are universalists who believe God is love and yet He’s no longer going to judge and be just and deliver to hell those who die outside of Christ. These are hell bound heretics who have rejected the clear teachings of Jesus Christ. See Mark 9:43-49 for example.
People are still defending this delusion:
To a person who was calling us to cease telling the truth, shining the light of Christ into the devil’s dark and insidious intrusions into the professing body of Christ…. the following rebuke was leveled:
Jesus says we know people “BY THEIR fruits” and so who’s lying… you, or the Son of God? I’ve got my answer. Matt 7:16, 20. God is calling you to get into His Word for real and cease peddling misinformation concerning Him which would be to use His holy Name in vain. Read Matthew 23 and destroy the fairytale image you have of the Son of God. Repent now.
ANY person agreeing with the Asbury “revival” is openly declaring that they are antichrist rebels who are calling God a liar, Who says that homosexuality is an “abomination” (Leviticus 18:22).
Any person who does not choose to agree with God, with what He stated in His Word, is a lost soul who is calling the Almighty a liar.
You cannot disagree with God’s Word and still be right with God.
“A woke church is a broken church. Repent or perish! Sodom will burn! God does not accept willful sinners who will not confess what HE calls sin and repent of it. Those who condone sin are on the broad way to destruction regardless of how many hours they sing songs, raise hands, pray, FEEL good. ‘Lord Lord have not we prayed for DAYS? Have not we praised your name for weeks on end? Have not we appeared righteous outwardly? Have we not redefined revival to inclusive, diverse, and equitable? Did we not allow the minority gender identifiers to lead?’ Asbury doesn’t qualify as a Bible revival any more than an mRNA jab qualifies as a vaccine. Yet MANY are deceived by both trusting the ‘experts’ of seminaries and government institutions. Cursed be the man who trusts in man, and whose heart departs from the Lord …blind being led by the blind into the ditch of counterfeit revival.” A.R.
“The thing that is missing from all these false revivals is the message of the cross, repentance, and truly coming to JESUS. The other thing I did hear was that there were homosexuals helping to lead worship and that there was a lot of repetitive words in worship being done (those are mantra’s) and not something we should be doing.” LG
Invite the effeminate, the sodomites into the church? Well, if they attend, let them hear the pure raw Word of God which includes the call to absolute repentance. If they don’t repent, they must be turned over to Satan, removed (1 Corinthians 5). Regrettably perhaps less than 5% of church gatherings today are led by true men of God. Wolves abound just as was foretold (Matthew 7:15; 24:11; 2 Timothy 3:13; 1 John 4:1, etc.).
If you attend a “church” that is not dealing with any form of fornication the Bible way – calling it out, calling it sin, requiring repentance, you are part of a an antichrist congregation. Run.
The body of Christ is commanded not even to associate with, to not even eat with any professing Christian who is a fornicator.
“But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? DO NOT YE JUDGE THEM THAT ARE WITHIN? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.” 1 Corinthians 5:11-13
HOW did the body of Christ deal with fornicators? Read 1 Corinthians 5. Knowledge up, now! Know the Word. Pour over this chapter.
IF this “revival” were truly of the LORD, why would the secular WORLD be promoting it? WHY all the promotion needed? Hmmmmm.
“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world” (1 John 4:1). Bad fruit – people camping out in a building. In Scripture, true moves of God always moved disciples out to the world (Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8; 8:4, etc.). This is a self-serving, self-absorbed “move” and so we know it’s not of God. Lust gets – love gives. They are promoting what God calls an “abomination” (Leviticus 18:22). They have pushed Elijah Drake to the forefront. He’s an open homo whom they pushed onto the platform at Asbury so he could tell everyone he’s practicing what God calls an “abomination.” Asbury has a cursed root, bad fruit (Matthew 12:33).
This is a recent social media post from Elijah Drake, a sodomite being promoted by Asbury.
Elijah Drake writes on February 18, 2023
“I guess it took until the Asbury outpouring for some people to realize that gay people are in their churches, their pews, their choirs, their worship teams, their prayer groups, their youth groups, their seminaries, and all that. And they’re worthy of love and dignity and care.”
And, yes, these and all sinners are entitled to hear the divine command to repent and if they don’t, they are not to be allowed to remain as leaven, a cancer to spread and destroy others! Read 1 Corinthians 5.
It seems obvious that Elijah Drake is an infiltrator and has no intention of repenting.
One writer notes:
“We once allowed a Lesbian attendance in our congregation. This lasted long enough to determine she was not there to repent, but persuade. We showed her the door.” Tim
I agree with brother Tim on this one and any disciple who has ever dealt with homos will most likely agree – they are not there to repent but rather to infiltrate, to influence others into their evil.
To those insisting that this Asbury “revival” is from God, I’ve been sharing the following:
That doesn’t make this one a true revival at all. This is not an outpouring from God at all. At the very foundations Asbury is the promotion of that which GOD calls an “abomination” (Lev 18:22). They are promoting it…. take a look at link below and also these things are all to be TESTED and not just accepted. “Quench not the Spirit” (1 Th. 5:19). “Despise not prophesyings” (1 Th. 5:20). “Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).
Stacy Strother writes:
“There is soooo much evidence now, brought to the surface by men and women of God with a strong Spirit of discernment, that is compiled against that Asbury being a true Holy Ghost invoked revival. It is not my place to judge the heart, God does that, only the fruit. A feeling is not enough. It has to be fueled by Gods Word and not by desire for pushing an agenda, as we have discovered there. If you have a friend that went and they are a Christian, if that friend knew that the Asbury revival was connected to Catholicism, Universalism, Ecumenism, and the LGBTQ community, would they have thought it was of God? Hopefully not, or else, they will have proven where they stand in God. The devil is deceptive.
The last days ‘world religion’ will be of such candor. ‘Christians’ will turn against Christians and give them over to the magistrates.
The time is now. You are witnessing the last days one world religion forming before your eyes. The Bible said it would be this way.
The LGBTQ community is sifting their way into our lives, our communities, and our churches, forcing their beliefs and dividing the flock of Jesus – well the mere professors, from the authentic disciples of Christ who stand upon the Word of God as their final divine authority. Be prepared. It only gets worse – until Jesus appears. Discernment is a must have in todays religious world.
You can be sincere, but sincerely wrong. The Mormons are sincere, JW’s, Muslims, Catholics, oneness Pentecostals, all, sincere people.
The enemy isn’t going to come at us with a false looking deity like Hinduism or Buddhism have. He’s already done that. Nor is he going to come at us with a large dark shroud that can be easily spotted.
2 Corinthians 11:14
“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.”
King James Version (KJV)
He is going to make it appear to be legit, and it’s not.”

Is Your Church Your Idol? [podcast]
Is Your Church Your Idol? (below)
Is Church Membership Biblical? (below)
SO, YOU TALK ABOUT YOUR CHURCH, THE PASTOR, THE PROGRAM, AND HOW YOU LOVE IT AND THE MUSIC AND EVENTS…YET THE NAME OF JESUS NEVER FLOWS FROM YOUR LIPS IN PRAISE? WOW! IT’S TIME FOR YOU TO REPENT, RETURN TO CHRIST, AND COME OUT FROM AMONG THE WICKED BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE! (2 CORINTHIANS 6:14)
EVER stop to ponder how we’ve commercialized, monetized, and grossly complicated what God ordained to be a time of rejoicing and blessing? Fellowship! Read Acts 2:42 and Colossians 3:16. Study the biblical model. Real fellowship with other saints is so simple, biblically. The bureaucracy of wolves has completely ruined such simplicity and that’s why so many no longer patronize their church busine$$e$ (2 Peter 2:1-3).
SO MANY TODAY WILL TALK ABOUT THEIR “CHURCH,” THEIR PASTOR, OR FAVORITE MINISTER – BUT NOT JESUS! THEIR WOLF HANDLERS ARE INDOCTRINATING AND USING THEM AS THEIR SALES AGENTS! SPIRITUAL ADULTERY. IDOLATRY.
Looking for the church means simply looking for other true members of Christ’s body! WE are HIS church – called out ones. Amen Jesus. Fellowship, Gatherings
NO SUCH THING AS CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IN THE EARLY CHURCH. TOTALLY FALSE. CHURCH MEMBERSHIP IS A TOOL THAT CONTROLLING LEADERS USE TO CORRAL SOULS FOR THEIR OWN SELF-SERVING PURPOSES! BEWARE! (JEREMIAH 23; EZEKIEL 34; MATTHEW 23) THEY DISCOUNT YOUR PLACE IN CHRIST BY TELLING YOU THAT MEMBERSHIP IS IMPORTANT IN THE CHURCH BUSINESS THEY ARE BUILDING TO THEIR OWN GLORY. JESUS CAME TO MAKE CAPTIVES FREE. SATAN’S AGENTS SEEK TO PUT YOU IN BONDAGE! (LUKE 4:18; JOHN 10:10; GALATIANS 5:1)
Are you ashamed of Jesus? Are you confessing your “church” or Christ? Are you inviting people to your “church” or to Christ?
“Thou shalt have no other gods before me.” Exodus 20:3
God is Jealous! (Exodus 34:14) He will not be second to anyone but MUST be your “FIRST love” – first priority in all things (Revelation 2:4-5).
IF you are not willing and obedient to forsake all, to give up every single idol, you cannot and will not be saved but rather damned in the lake of fire irrevocably (Luke 14:33; 17:33; Revelation 21:8, etc.).
PEOPLE prove they are blind and being misled when they testify anything other than CHRIST crucified! Yet many church attenders swear that they are in the truth. Delusional. They are quick to boastfully tell you they “go to church” and yet the name of Jesus never leaves their lips – because apparently He’s not in their hearts (Matthew 12:34).
“Church” today has become a staged event with a cast, crew and light show to entertain the members and seekers.
ANY thing you won’t give up for Christ – including religion – is a soul damning idol.
Are you doing the “church” thing or is your heart and life all about JESUS?
WHO, WHAT holds the ultimate “preeminence” in your heart? Colossians 1:18
IF you are not hearing that the ALMIGHTY commands you to lay down your life, you have placed yourself under a false prophet ministry and God is not going to bless you but rather going to turn you over to “strong delusion” so that you believe the cross-less lie and ultimately perish, all the while believing you were saved (Matt 7;21; 2 Thess 2:9-12; Titus 1:16; 1 John 2:4).
Is your “church” or is JESUS your “first love”? (Revelation 2:4-5)
So let me get this straight…
You run around telling people how much you love your church and pastor but never testify of the saving mercy of the Lord Jesus Christ? God is calling you to repent and be saved for real!
“Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven. 33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.” Matthew 10:32-33
The vast majority of “churches” that meet in “church buildings” are simply and merely conducting “church services” where they entertain their prey. They are not equipping the saints for the work of the ministry and therefore discerned as being counterfeit (Ephesians 4:11-13). If they were, there would be salty disciples in their midst who go forth to minister Christ’s kingdom blessings where ever they went. Not even a trace of this transpiring in the apostate modern church world. Run. Run. Run.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; 12 For the perfecting (equipping, maturing) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:” Ephesians 4:11-12
Jenn W. writes:
“That’s exactly why I left the church I grew up in. It turned into a social club almost like a cult that was more focused on people and the ‘church’ but none of it was centered around Jesus Christ at all. They all beg me to come back, but every time I pray asking God, ‘Do you want me to go back there, Lord?’ I always hear Him flat out tell me ‘NO!’ God is not the author of confusion, He gives us confirmation and full rest and peace in our spirit about decisions. Whenever I even think of going back there I feel anxiety and panic because I know God doesn’t want me there. We can’t people-please just because they want us to do something or tell us to ‘not forsake the assembly.’ They will use all types of guilt trips to make you try to conform down to their lukewarm level and fit in. I refuse to do that. The church is extremely carnal, and everyone is concerned with money and building mega-churches. They say when you’re too holy or sanctified that you are ‘legalistic,’ and they hate when you are set apart.”
Holy Ghost anointed preaching will ALWAYS lead you to fresh repentance.
Brett Gibney writes:
“Many small churches are more like businesses with employees to maintain. The member becomes a customer and the church entertains them for donations and offerings. The pastor is the boss and manager operating within a strict budget. Big business in today’s Christian movement. Jesus Christ has never been to the place they call ‘church.’ He would flip their book, DVD and CD tables over! When money and theatrics are involved, God isn’t! Nowhere in the Bible is the pastor called to run the church. They appoint themselves. The only difference between a calling and a occupation is a salary.”
Church is what you are, not somewhere you go!
PLEASE show us where anyone in the New Testament Scriptures went around looking for an elder, a pastor, a church? YES, fellowship is essential and so is submitting to our elders in Christ and yet, perhaps today, far too much emphasis is placed on these things (Hebrews 10:24-25; 13:7, 17, etc.). None of this matters if the individual disciple is not engaged in seeking the face of the LORD personally.
You don’t need a preacher because you have a Bible. Read it. You don’t need a preacher to tell you what the Bible says! Read it for yourself, learning yourself. Today is your day to take more personal responsibility to seek God for yourself! Jesus taught personal responsibility and the essential nature of it when He said “Take heed to yourselves” (Luke 21:34-36) …… Jesus is Coming.
WHEN a person truly repents, he clears all idols from his life and Jesus Christ is truly reigning – on the throne of His heart. 1 idol will eternally damn the soul the same as a million idols!
NOW!
Memorize:
“Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?” Isaiah 2:22
Repent afresh. Seek God for real. Lay down your life in this world and follow Jesus. Cry out to Him to make you His authentic disciples, to strip all hypocrisy, deceit, depravity, and hatred in your heart. | Fresh Start with God
Many who initially believed will ultimately and eternally be damned for their idolatry…..
“Nevertheless among the chief rulers also many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess him, lest they should be put out of the synagogue: 43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.” John 12:42-43
“And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man.” Mark 7:14-15
“Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone. 24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel. 25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess. 26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.” Matthew 23:23-26
MESSAGE RECEIVED:
“It is Godly to have a church building to meet in. Jesus does not speak against it. If there is one, just one church that preaches the Gospel, and there is, then this comment is leading people astray. Go visit, til you find the right church…don’t be lazy and loose your soul…Amen! But that is a half truth to deter people if there is one church preaching the Gospel. You are trying to be God!”
REPLY:
I don’t agree with it being godly necessarily….. A physical building is not a necessity and is usually a great hindrance and worse. Jesus didn’t specifically speak against a physical building but He DID speak against the wolves operating in those buildings. Jesus also didn’t practice it (erecting physical buildings) because He is divine and knows all things and how men make themselves kings and rich off of the people usually as they use that central meeting place for self-serving purposes….. and no, a physical building is not a sin in and of itself. It can’t be, yet what is going on in those apostate “churches” is usually not the New Testament biblical model but rather for the self-serving purposes of those Paul says are “enemies of the cross of Christ” (Philippians 3:18-19). Any Berean, discerning Bible student sees that.
You don’t seem to be Bible intensive and perhaps that’s because the wolves who are misleading you want to keep you ignorant so they can continue to use you (Hosea 4:6; Acts 17:10-11). When Jesus spoke of building His church (called-out ones), He was not speaking of something physical like a “church” building but rather the revelation truth of Himself in the hearts of His people (Matthew 16:17-19). You are not yet a discerning person but rather gullible and this is foolish….. Question: Did Jesus and His apostles ever collect one penny to building physical “church” building? yes or no please.
Most organizations, the vast majority functioning in buildings are misleading people and not preaching the original Gospel (Jude 3) You are deceived. The real Church – people of God- don’t need to go find a church because they are the church. Where does the Bible say to go find a church, to visit till you find one? And where does God’s Word say that you will lose your soul if you don’t find a church building to go to? Nowhere. There it is: You are being led to believe that attending the church building is salvation and not Christ – WHOM you have not once mentioned so you are an idolater.
So you have to wait till Sunday morning to preach the Gospel? Wow. There it is again – false church – where most pastors don’t want you doing the work of the ministry daily but rather to patronize their church business. You are telling on yourself. You are a product of a ministry based in a building that is misleading you. Not all are but it seems you are being misled by what you are saying which is a dead give away of what you’re being taught (Matthew 12:34; 5:16, 20). You didn’t mention Jesus Christ one time so obviously Heaven’s nail-scarred risen soon coming KING is not your first love nor being taught in your building based church (Colossians 2:18-19). This proves the point.
I don’t know what I am saying while I give you Scripture? Flash Point: Reading God’s Word and living by it is not “trying to be God.”

YES, have seen this same respect of persons many times brother! Sad! (Matt 25.) We shall all give full account to the One who said:
“And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.” Matthew 25:40, 45

Neither Give Place to the Devil! [podcast]
“Neither give place to the devil.” Ephesians 4:27
“This is a really good message!” CB
— MANY have been blinded and duped to believe that either 1) there is no devil, or 2) there is a devil but he’s not active. But God’s Word tells us that Satan, the archenemy of Christ and mankind, is active and has an organized kingdom structure: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” (Ephesians 6:12)
Warning:
“Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
The Bible tells us not to be ignorant of Satan’s devices and if we are not even aware of “the wiles of the devil,” how can we possibly discern and overcome them? (2 Corinthians 2:11; Ephesians 6:11).
Communism, any communistic form of government arrangement, is an example of the work of Satan and we know this because it steals money and freedom from the people, kills people who don’t agree, and destroys everything good.
ANY person participating in the work of Satan is a child of the devil. Satan’s work is “to steal, to kill, and to destroy.” (John 10:10) Any questions? Any activity, operation, or plan to steal the freedom or money or anything from another, is the work of Satan himself. So is to kill or destroy people or property unjustly.
—- PEOPLE EVER MAKE UP THINGS ABOUT YOU? Jesus told us we would be falsely accused (Matthew 5:11) and He also tells us never to participate in a “false report” in any way (Exodus 23:1-2). The Greek word for “Satan” means accuser. ….“for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night…” (Revelation 12:7-12)
NEVER EVER DRAW CONCLUSION ON ANYTHING BEFORE YOU’VE HEARD THE WHOLE STORY
“He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” Proverbs 18:13
“He that is first in his own cause seemeth just; but his neighbour cometh and searcheth him.” Proverbs 18:17
Are not our laws in this country crafted after this truth? “Innocent UNTIL PROVEN guilty.”…
God gave us these truths for the protection of all. If, as a disciple of Jesus, you have not yet been slandered, lied about, stick around, your time is coming. David had his Shimei, Jesus had His Judas, Paul had his Alexander the coppersmith.
“Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.” Matthew 5:11
Slander includes bringing up a sin God has already forgiven someone, and/or repeating something you have no proof of.
Beloved saints, based on what Jesus foretold us of in Mathew 5:11, we’d actually better be concerned if no one is making up lies about us …. that just means Satan is upset with the fruitful relationship you have with Jesus who says “Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets.” (Luke 6:26) In light of this truth, should we not be concerned if everyone likes us, if no one is slandering us?
It’s time to “rejoice” – to obey Jesus – when we are persecuted for that only proves that we are His!!!!!!
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. 12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.” Matthew 5:10-12
If someone is not being lied about, persecuted, and afflicted, they are suspect. That person is very possibly a counterfeit, a tare among Christ’s wheat.

Wolves who Weaponize and Monetize! Beware! [podcast]
Wolves who Weaponize and Monetize! Beware!
Church membership as perpetrated today was never supposed to be. It’s not found in the Scriptures. Each of His people are members of His body, His one church. Real fellowship and assembling, getting together, is biblical and yet as has always been the case, sinful men use it to exploit those who gather to worship their LORD. At the beginning and end of His ministry, Jesus destroyed the wicked leaders who were robbing the people.
“And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 13 And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the temple; and he healed them. 15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that he did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the Son of David; they were sore displeased, 16 And said unto him, Hearest thou what these say? And Jesus saith unto them, Yea; have ye never read, Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise? 17 And he left them, and went out of the city into Bethany; and he lodged there.” Matthew 21:12-17
They are making merchandise of you just as Peter foretold! Read 2 Peter 2:1-3.
Assembling as believers is commanded by God and yet not in order to be exploited by the devouring wolves we’ve been warned to beware of (Matthew 7:15; 24:11; 1 John 4:1-3, etc.). When God’s people gather, assemble, it is rather to be edified in Christ, richly blessed in the Word of God (Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:16; Hebrews 10:24; 2 Peter 2:1-3).
“If you go to the brick and mortar buildings and you don’t give your money then you’re nobody to them. I was out searching for a place where I could stay and hear the true gospel but that’s not happening in these brick and mortar buildings. These people need to truly repent.” Veronica
Church membership is just another attempt, lure, and seduction to misplace the faith and allegiance and identity of Christ’s saints away from Christ Himself (1 Corinthians 1:29-2:5; 2 Corinthians 4:5; Colossians 2:18-19). Beloved of God, you are bought with the precious blood of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 6:19-20; 7:23). This highest price—the crucifixion of Jesus Christ on a cross —was paid by the Son of God to purchase you to Himself and the Father (1 Timothy 1:15; 2:5-6; Titus 2:14, etc.). HE is your identity and thereafter His true remnant body who live for Him daily, who are crucified with Christ perpetually, not counterfeit church goers/members. Memorize Galatians 6:14. For more on the body of Christ, read Romans 12, 1 Corinthians 12, and Ephesians 2 and 4. God’s Word is your final divine authority, not mere men or organizations of mere men (Mark 13:31; 2 Timothy 2:15; 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:20-21, etc.).
“Thank you for exposing this. I used to attend an assembly of God here in Olympia and I found it to be false. After a couple years my eyes were opened and I left because a lot of it was a new apostolic reformation or something similar to that they were just off, and at one point they had a homosexual male on the platform scolding the church for how they are mean and nasty to homosexuals because they think they’re better than them. I was attacked for forsaking the assembly and received other statements urging me to come back so I wouldn’t be sinning.” Bella
Anyone trying to get you to become a member of their church is seeking to monetize you to build a church business at your expense.
The reason why many professing Christian do not see the things we are seeing in the Word today in this message, is that they are not in God’s Word for themselves.
“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15
Most who claim Christ don’t know His Word and many don’t want to know it, otherwise they’d be in it and it would be in them.
“My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.” Hosea 4:6
QUESTION ASKED:
“What if someone is born again, biblically baptized by immersion, but not a formal member of any local church, however they attend church regularly. Could they partake in the Lord’s supper?”
REPLY:
Yes, who else is a higher authority than the Most High who saved you into His church/family? WHAT other “membership” would be needed as if Christ’s saving you and putting you into His family as a member of His body wasn’t enough? Read 1 Corinthians 12. You are a member of the one universal blood bought, born again body of Christ. Any other so-called church membership is a fraud and an afront to Christ. He didn’t die and rise again to then hand over the reigns to a bunch of self-serving enterprising, greedy pharisaical nicolaitan wolves. Read Jeremiah 23; Ezekiel 34; Matthew 23; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Revelation 2:6, 15. Oh and this isn’t even to mention that these fake “churches” are 501(C)(3) corporations. They have entered into an unholy alliance with the state and by doing so have affronted, rejected the Savior. They entered into a contract with the state unnecessarily and are now under the antichrist dominion of the state, who can tell them where and what they preach and can’t preach.”
“This church membership topic riles me up! Many judge us because we don’t go to church. I want nothing to do with how apostate they have become. Most are in willful sin and could care less. Jesus is not there!” Karen Cochran
One dear sister in Christ shared this:
NEARLY EVERY LOCAL “CHURCH” IS A COMPLETE SCAM IN THIS LATE HOUR, JUST AS WAS FORETOLD.
“Partnership, as defined by most ministries, today, is you send them a check every month & they send you a letter with some Scriptures. Very sad. However, I take refuge in this Scripture – 1 Peter 4:17. It’s not a political problem, it’s a spiritual problem. During the scamdemic, I suggested we give groceries to those who needed them, have a cookout with burgers & hotdogs, offer healing to those who needed it, fellowship among the people. The church had a wonderful full circle drive so the people could pull in, we’d fill their trunk with groceries, etc. I was told “NO.” I offered to handle all of it, pay for it, still “NO.” The pastor wanted to remain shut down. I went ahead & did it from my home. I hired a Christian group to sing, we preached the Word, fed the people, prayed for anyone who wanted it. Quitting should never be a part of our vocabulary. The religious manipulation is off the charts. Filling seats & manipulating people for financial gain is repulsive.” Charlotte
The fact that most brick and mortar church building based churches are not run biblically in no way negates the need for essential, real, biblical fellowship. To this point, a brother in Christ named Peter writes:
“People want faith community even if there is church membership and mandatory tithing. People want social life with other believers. It’s safe and not that sinful. Yet, I’m against church buildings but I believe in accountability to one another and God.” Peter
Church membership ropes you into an unholy alliance with the state and a state owned church. Example:
“During the scam-demic, many churches hid behind Romans 13 and said they must obey the government. Yet there are many examples in the Bible where God’s people did not obey because it went against God and was evil. Just as in modern day with all the covid supposed mandates. Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego did not obey. Daniel, and the apostles. And many more disobeyed civil authorities when they demanded things that went against God and His will. The fake churches used Romans 13 because really they were afraid of standing for Jesus! So they cowered in fear! Hiding behind masks, closed doors and vax’s. But wearing masks was not such a big deal because most already are wearing them. Hiding behind their pharisaical and self-righteous attitudes pretending to holy.” Karen Cochran
God exposed these fake “churches” and fake “Christians” for all to see. “Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men“ (Acts 5:29). The false churches had already sold the Savior down the river for the state when they signed up for their 501C3—which is a contract with lots of small print. That contract they chose to enter into, makes those “churches” the government’s, the state’s churches. As we saw with the scamdemic, the state tells what they can preach, where they can preach, and when they can preach. I walked into a “church” to visit some friends during this period and was shocked that they all had on masks, were doing the 6-foot satanic ceremony rule etc. I departed. Sickening sacrilege.
“God’s true church can’t be contained in a building…God’s true church is being led out of these lukewarm businesses labeled as churches….God’s true church isn’t a man led organization ….it’s a relationship with GOD Himself. God’s true church isn’t a temple made by hands….their very own body is where God resides.” Kathy Lemonds
A MEME FROM A SNAKE “PASTOR”
In a meme, “Pastor” HB Charles Jr. is promoting Michael Foster, who writes:
“Nothing grows a Christian like a serious commitment to a single church week in and week out for years and years. Not conferences. Not social media. Not even personal devotions. The local church is where mature Christians are slowly forged in the fires of mundane faithfulness.” – Michael Foster
Notice “a serious commitment to a single church.” This is something God never commanded and it contradicts the essential responsibility He gave anyone who would be HIS disciple. The fruit of good church attenders makes it more than abundantly clear that this whole church attendance, church membership push is diabolical. It’s irrefutably producing bad fruit (Matthew 7:15-21). Let’s further test ‘pastor” Michael Foster’s statement, shall we? So John the Baptist, the apostles Paul, John, Peter, etc., didn’t attend church weekly or “week in and week out” and so you are saying they didn’t grow? Wow. Michael Foster is a typical programmed pawn—an indoctrinated dupe. He reeks of pride and greed (2 Peter 2:1-3). He’s building a church busine$$. Read his words again and think $ and how he is bearing false witness against the LORD he deceitfully pretends to represent as he is seeking to ensure his income for a long time to come. Wolves are making merchandise of their prey (2 Peter 2:1-3)!
“Never heard of the church building places of ‘worship’ until Constantine came along, the father of that demonic religion called ‘Catholic.'” Mark Owen
Seminarian marketing to farm the community—not to preach the whole counsel of God but rather gain more church members. They push for their pawns to invite others in order to get them more members which means more money. They campaign for more money for their unbiblical “church” projects, and yet never push for more personal Bible reading, evangelism, more of the crucified life, more worship of God, repentance, holiness, the fear of the LORD, etc…. and you still don’t see what’s going on?
Wow!
Okay so you go to a church building on Sunday morning yet don’t seek God in His Word and prayer daily? You are backslidden—which means you are away from God. Any person saved in the past and yet who is not presently hungering and thirsting after more of Christ, of His righteousness, has backslidden and in need of true repentance before it’s too late.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
“The activities and ‘fellowship’ only among themselves can be a big distraction to serving the Lord and doing His work and will. Not to mention keeping you enslaved to the false unbiblical doctrines they preach there. No one is allowed to disagree with the pastor(s) and leaders.” B.
Totally disagree with these “pastors” who are wolves building church businesses. How many “good church members” do we see winning souls, evangelizing, feeding Christ’s sheep His Word, denying self, taking up the cross, devouring God’s Word, living the crucified life, talking about judgment, repentance, overcoming all sin, and being ready for Christ’s return daily? None. Jesus says we know them “by their fruit” (Matthew 7:16, 20). 99% of local churches = bad fruit. The LORD’s true under shepherds are preparing and equipping Christ’s disciples “for the WORK of the ministry” not to do THEIR (the pastor’s) bidding, work in his little Sunday morning circus gathering where he performs and collects money. Only counterfeits prop up, support counterfeits (Ezekiel 22:25-27; Hosea 4:9; 2 John 10-11).
“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
Here’s a biblical perspective: Being a good church member at a local “church” is never once taught in the Bible. No it’s something false prophets push for their own self-serving purpose and agenda. It’s for their benefit, not yours.
1 Chronicles 21:1 David was influenced by “Satan” in numbering the people …. this is a tool in order to control, manipulate and monetize the people…
GOD never called you to be a “good church member.” No, He called you to repent, to deny yourself, to live the crucified life, to seek His holy face daily with reckless abandon, to fellowship daily with His people, and to obey His Great Commission mandate.
THE FACT that you have no Great Commission involvement, no personal evangelism, no real fruit of good works in your life…. doesn’t this clearly reveal that you, as a good church member, are merely propping up a church busine$$, funding a fraud?
Can a man or woman of God sit back and just allow lost souls to go to hell without doing something about it, without having great conviction of conscience toward repentance, refreshing, and Great Commission Gospel action?
The next time some churchianity dupe begins to preach to you about “going to church”…. Tell them you don’t wait till Sundays, you fellowship in prayer and the Word daily with other saints of Christ (Acts 2:42). Ask them when the last time was that they personally preached the Gospel, fed the flock of God the Word of God, and led someone to Jesus…. mic drop, crickets.
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.” Matthew 5:6
Okay so you go to a church building on Sunday morning yet don’t seek God in His Word and prayer daily? You are backslidden—which means you are away from God. Any person saved in the past and yet who is not presently hungering and thirsting after more of Christ, of His righteousness, has backslidden and is in need of true repentance before it’s too late.
The Truth about Fellowship and Going to “Church”
Perhaps a simple observance of the earliest followers of Jesus would inform us that they weren’t always “in church” serving some wolf but rather they went “every where preaching the word,” etc. (Acts 8:4), right? Oh and their gatherings were quite simple with no religious gold gathering bureaucracy! See Acts 2:42.
What they do is basically make you their good church member then get you to go tell others so that their church busine$$ grows that way. Notice how no one is being equipped “for the work of the ministry” (Ephesians 4:11-14) by being taught to minister and to do it out in the world daily…. to bring the blessing, the bless-ed Gospel to the people. No. Instead they become like little agents of their local church which is now their idol. They are sent out to invite folks to church instead of bringing the KING to those same people.
Wake up. Repent before God of wasting His time and resources on such wolves in sheep’s clothing. Deny self, take up the cross, follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).
“Being a Christian isn’t about making a weekly trip to a so-called church building. No, it’s about BECOMING the church, an actual place where Jesus lives.” Matt McMillen
“Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.” John 14:23
“God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.” Psalms 89:7
Good Church Member or True Disciple of Christ?
Wolves can be known in that they don’t get their prey in the Word for themselves (2 Timothy 2:15).
Going to be entertained on Sunday mornings as what some call “church” does not replace daily Bible reading and prayer and the cross (Luke 9:23-24; 2 Timothy 2:15; 1 Thessalonians 5:17, etc.).
Anyone not in God’s Word and living a life of prayer every day as they seek His holy face fervently, has told the LORD that He is not important to them … and they will not make it (Matthew 25:1-13).
There is NO work, no-thing transpiring on the earth more important than the work of our LORD’s Gospel. Most of the other things are vying for your affections. Read Luke 21 and Colossians 3:1-4. JESUS is coming.
Summation:
The instruction of Hebrews 10:24 is from God and yet never intended to give license to men to build their own kingdoms, to exploit and use the people for their own self-serving and greed-driven agenda.
Yes there are elders ordained in Christ’s body and they are to feed (John 21:15-17), to warn (Colossians 1:28), to teach sound doctrine to the members of Christ’s body (Titus 2:1), to teach them discernment (Ezekiel 44:23), etc. This can be in a regular meeting time and place. That’s not a sin. The sin comes in when we don’t see biblically stated things being accomplished and that’s how we know those are false shepherds and this would involve most local brick and mortar based “churches” today.
The truth is self-evident. Fruit. Not all but the vast majority of local churches are absolutely apostate as the Bible foretold (2 Timothy 3:13; Matthew 24:11; 1 Timothy 4:1-2, etc.). There is no blood of Jesus, no cross, no crucified life, no judgment to come, no sin, no repentance, no holiness, no readiness for Christ’s return, no KJB, etc. Apostasy. Fellowship as defined by Holy Writ is essential, not church attendance. Saints, people do not need us. They do not need our fellowship. They need Christ and His people and that should be 24/7. The headquarters of the true saint is the throne of our God, right? (Jeremiah 17:12; Hebrews 4:14-16; 7:24-26). That doesn’t mean that attending a fellowship weekly is wrong and yet, is it a real fellowship? One should examine the fruit and ask: Am I growing in Christ? Am I growing to know Him (John 17:3)? Do I live a repented life and a crucified life? Is the extent of my relationship with the LORD going to church/church attendance? Do I care for and help the body of Christ? Do I evangelize? etc. The professing church has largely misused Hebrews 10:25. Fellowshipping, assembling is essential, is commanded, and that would be according to how Scripture defines assembly fellowship, not the modern church (Acts 2:42-47; Colossians 3:16, etc.). If one is part of a rare truly Christ-centered, Scripture-rich fellowship, that’s a blessing. The problem is that most aren’t. And they must be exhorted to “try the spirits” as 1 John 4:1 instructs.
