Transcript: Christian Power and Authority: Overcoming Satan's Deceptive Offer

Music I'm so glad you joined us today because we have no time to waste. Time is getting short before Christ returns and God's church needs to be awakened from their slumber and stupor as to the greatest conspiracy that the church has ever known and also that the United States of America has ever experienced or seen. The conspiracy in America has been happening at rapid or warp speed these past several years and I believe that I am safe to say that almost one half of the citizens in this nation do not know what is really going on politically in America because they have been listening to mainstream news sources who are not reporting the truth as to what is really happening in this present ruling administration. But understand please, this conspiracy to overthrow our government has been strategically planned and orchestrated by a secret elite around the world and has been manifesting itself slowly for many years by way of unjust and unscrupulous men and women in the political arena. This secret society is at the helm of what has been slowly coming into being. And this is not a surprise to those who know that the scriptures in the Old and the New Testaments prophesy that this kind of worldwide takeover will happen. It is known to be what is called a one world government or a new world order. And this includes as well what will become a one world church. In Psalms 2.1, the word declares, Why do the nations conspire and the people's plot in vain? The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers gather together against the Lord and his anointed one. Let us break their chains, they say, and throw off their fetters. What we read here is a great battle and a struggle between light and darkness. Satan the devil has always influenced those who hate the one and only true and almighty creator God. The great projection of Satan's hatred is manifested through these God-haters and exhibited on the Lord's precious redeemed. Satan's revenge is not really against those who love, obey, and serve God and his son Jesus Christ, but it is really against God Almighty himself. Satan hates God with a bitter fury and a rage. Please know, Satan hates all those who are truly saved through Christ's shed blood, but he has a personal vendetta to get even with Creator God because he was cast out of heaven, cast out of the eternities of eternities because of his great plot and coup to overthrow God and his eternal government. What we see happening in this country today is a part of a plan to usher in the soon coming return of God's Son Jesus Christ as prophesied throughout these scriptures in the Old and the New Testaments. The next few verses, 4 through 6, in Psalms chapter 2, give insight as to really who holds all power and authority in all matters. Verse 4 tells us, Jesus Christ has been installed as King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Jesus Christ holds all power and authority in the heavens, on the earth, and below the earth. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! And this alone should give you peace through any storm that may come your way, dear one. These secret societies formed by agents of Satan are known by several different names, such as the Bilderberger Group, the Bohemian Grove, the Illuminati, Skull and Bones, Freemasons, or better called the Masonic Society, Knights of Malta, and so on. All of these groups and many more connected with them are governed by the Luciferian Society. The Illuminati is simply a modern manifestation of an ancient Luciferian cult. It is the finished or polished completion of the evil cult and is now the main agent for the ancient Luciferian conspiracy for the new world order. Jesus himself knew of it on the earth when he confronted it and repeatedly called it the synagogue of Satan in Revelation 2.9 and also in Revelation 3.9. And while all of these organizations for years have plotted in vain against the Almighty, he only laughs at them in their pride to think that they can overthrow God and his final plan one day soon to set up his eternal government and kingdom on this earth. The seat of war is on this earth, and all of heaven contests and counters Satan's rebellion against the Creator. Satan failed at his takeover attempt with God in heaven, and now the dark prince of the power of the air is still trying to usurp God's final plan on this earth when he will one day very soon send his son Jesus Christ back to earth a second and final time. Satan knows that once God's kingdom is finally set up through Christ's return and the final great battle at Armageddon materializes, he will be defeated and will be put in his prison for 1,000 years. And finally, after the millennial period ends, then he will be cast in to the worst place of eternal torment, which has been carved out especially designated just for him and him alone. The real battle, as I said earlier, is between light and darkness. It is between good and evil. It is between God and Satan and his evil hordes of hell. Satan tried to usurp God's authority and his power and he's still trying to do so through the using of willing men and women in the political arena and also through willing agents in God's church for one purpose and one aim. Get this please and don't miss it. This malicious purpose and great end of Satan is to attempt to take and steal as many of God's precious creation, that is humankind with himself, into the lake of fire since he knows this is his final lot for eternity. National leaders throughout history have united together to rebel against God and his holy standards. Satan has put his hatred in the hearts of these people who refuse to accept Jesus Christ as Savior. They instead hate him. And we see this great hatred rising up, especially in this country today, where our Christian rights, according to the Constitution, are being taken away and replaced by the promotion of evil and evil agendas to bring this country down morally, financially, politically, and spiritually. You see, these God-haters have promoted ungodliness in every way. But I say it again, God merely laughs at their feeble attempts to defeat him. God has set up his plan. He set it in motion and he offers eternal life to those who choose to honor and obey his son and his commands. And all who do will be blessed. But those who reject him will perish in the eternal lake of fire. Revelation 17.14 announces the final outcome of this great feeble power play of Satan and yet shows who holds all power in authority forever and at all times. The scripture says they will wage war against the Lamb and the Lamb will triumph over them for he is Lord of lords and King of kings and those with him and on his side are chosen and are called and elected and loyal and faithful followers. This word today is titled, A Prophetic Vision of Satan's Deceptive Offer of Power and Authority. Please know, Satan has been empowering, willing men and women to act out his evil propensities, and as I had said, his plan to attempt finally what will be the greatest of all time coups will be what the Bible calls the Battle of Armageddon. This battle is called the Great Day of the Almighty. And this is where Jesus Christ, God's Son, and the Antichrist, a man who will be literally inhabited by Satan the devil himself, will fight the greatest battle ever to be fought to where God will actively and visibly manifest his glorious power to the confusion, the embarrassment, and the utter destruction and great defeat of Satan himself and his evil ones, and finally, their influence over the entire world once and for all. In beloved Apostle John's end-time vision as shown in the book of Revelation, he describes what he had seen in regards to these times that I have just mentioned. John in Revelation 16.19 reports, At Armageddon, the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his God's wrath will be poured out, and the forces of evil will be overthrown and destroyed. He goes on to say in verse 21, Great, excessively oppressive hailstones, as heavy as a talent, between 50 and 60 pounds of immense size, fell from the sky on the people. and men blasphemed God for the plague of the hail. So very great was the torture of that plague. These scriptures in Revelation 16, 17 through 21 describe a time in prophetic history where the seventh and final bowl of God's wrath will be poured out on an unrepentant humanity and will bring with it the greatest earthquake and hailstorm this earth has ever seen or known. This will be the greatest loss of life in any earthquake since January 23, 1556, which occurred in China, where 830,000 lives perished in the largest earthquake the earth has ever known. that earthquake will pale in comparison to the soon coming tribulation earthquake, which the Bible says will destroy every city on the earth and level every mountain and sink and cover every island. The tribulation hailstorm will rain down up to 60 pound chunks of ice. And this will be a time where those who worship the beast in its system will curse God rather than repent. and we see this according to the scriptures we have just read. These God-haters curse and blaspheme God and this is positive proof of the unregenerate mind which is hostile to God in showing their total depravity and hatred towards himself. Revelation 9 verse 20 through 21 describes the hardness of these people. The scripture says, and the rest of humanity who were not killed by these plagues even then did not repent of the worship, the works of their own hands as to cease paying homage to demons and idols of gold and silver and bronze and stone and wood which can neither see nor hear nor move and they did not repent of their murders or their practice of magic sorceries and their sexual vices and their thefts. Jeremiah chapter 17 verse 9 the Lord says the heart is deceitful above all things and it is excessively perverse and corrupt and severely mortally sick who can know it and perceive and understand and be acquainted with his own heart and mind the Lord searches the mind and I try the heart even to give to every man according to his ways according to the fruit of his doing remember what I'm describing and what these scriptures are speaking about is the governmental or political system of the world which perpetuates and promotes hatred against God and is also foretelling the account of the false church called Mystery Babylon which represents the blasphemous prostitute sitting on a seven-headed ten-horned beast wearing costly clothes drunk with the blood of the believers she had killed. she had immoral relations with the rulers of the world which scripture in Revelation 17 says had an intoxicating effect on all people She with whom the rulers of the earth have joined in prostitution that is idolatry, with the wine of those immorally, that's idolatry, the inhabitants of the earth, they've become intoxicated. Immoral relations or prostitution of the harlot or false church is representative of the practice of idolatry in these verses. And this idolatry is an unlawful lust for money, for sex, and power, and fame. And these belong to Satan's worldly system, dear church. This great harlot is the false prostitute church and represents the worldwide false religious system, which has always existed and symbolizes the spiritual apostasy which is far different from the truth of God's holy word and as I had said, Jesus confronted them and called them the synagogue of Satan. The false church will use all of her evil strength to elevate the Antichrist during the first part of the tribulation and Revelation 17.17 tells us for God has put it into their hearts to carry out his own purpose by acting in harmony in surrendering their royal power and authority to the beast until the prophetic words the intentions and promises of God shall be fulfilled hallelujah well we see the false church will revel and enjoy her wealth and power and authority but will come a time when things will suddenly change to where the Antichrist will turn against her because he will not bow to any control of any religious establishment. The one world religion or one world church will not include the likes of any Christianity. This one world religion will be one where Satan will energize his evil work for two purposes and the first is to play the role of God and have people worship himself. He will sit in the temple of God representing himself as being God according to 2 Thessalonians 2.4. And his second plan, according to Revelation 13.15, is to kill all true Christians. Verse 15 says, And he is permitted also to impart the breath of life into the beast's image so that the statue of the beast could actually talk and cause to be put to death those who would not bow down and worship the image of the beast. Now, having laid somewhat a foundation for this word today, which is preparatory for presenting a revelatory vision which God had given my husband Lee a few years ago. this vision shows how many millions of Christians have sold out to this beast system throughout the generation of time and have become a part of the harlot or the apostate church which we have seen described in John's vision of the end time great tribulation in the book of Revelation these people who profess to be Christians have literally sold themselves out to Satan in his offer and promise to give them great power and authority. Lee saw in this vision which was given to him in the middle of the night a number of years ago, as I had said, he reports, I saw from a long distance away, one on a horse, and right behind him were riders who were following directly behind their leader. Those following were riding two by two on horses as well as far as the eye could see. As they all approached me, I could see the lead character. He had a distorted golden glow about him, which was very dim. Each one of the riders was holding a lance in an upright position like they were ready for battle. And as they came closer to me, the leader stopped and took a hold of his lance, and as he did this, I saw that it turned into the same blurry golden color that surrounded him too. He held it out for me to touch. I recognized who he was. I knew immediately it was Satan the devil, and I immediately rebuked him. He and his endless hordes disappeared immediately upon my rebuke. Now I remember vividly in seeing Satan's entourage as they stood before me. I could see the multitudes behind him who formed into the shape of a large serpent, and each of these were outfitted in medieval armor. And I knew that if I touched the lance of Satan, I would receive great power and authority to do the things that I wanted to do and achieve in this life and world. And I knew also that I would be his captive slave forever, just like the multitudes of those who were following him and willingly touched the lance and offer that he had held out to them. Lee observed when Satan and his followers approached him that it looked like a long serpent that wound around and as far as his eye could see, and the number of those who followed Satan were side by side, two by two, so that the numbers were absolutely unbelievable. Dear Church, this is a very sobering vision. It is self-explanatory. The multitudes of thousands of those who were called to be leaders in God's church had sold out to Satan throughout every generation of time, including this one that you and I now presently live in. The New King James Version says of 2 Corinthians 11.14 and no wonder for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. It is not surprising then if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness, their end will be what their actions deserve. The dim glow in this vision is the counterfeit glory which the evil one tries to fool the uninformed and the ignorant Christians with as he comes to them to present his great deception. And let me say this, Many do absolutely know what they are accepting when Satan comes to them. They accept his offer because they are hungry for power and authority to build their own kingdom or ministries. Lee said he knew those who followed Satan were ones who were called to leadership because they were wearing knight's armor. Knights were those who were born into nobility and royalty. Knighthood was a prestigious offer and terms such as courageous, gallant, valor, or chivalry were associated with those who rode next to their king. But because God's people chose to displease him time after time, again, scripture repeatedly shows that God sold them out to the power of their enemies. Psalms 44 verse 12 through 14 declares you sold your people for a pittance gaining nothing from their sale you have made us a reproach to our neighbors the scorn and derision of those around us and you have made us a byword among the nations the people shake their heads at us it was really in all actuality the Israelites who sold themselves for nothing. When they forgot their God and turned their backs on him, he sold them. And this happened repeatedly during the time of the judges. Esau was one of the many who became knighted in the army of the evil one. He sold his birthright and therefore he forfeited his right to be chief heir all because he sold out for a bowl of soup to satisfy his taste buds in the moment. Judas Iscariot sold himself into Satan's army by selling out his master and savior for 30 pieces of silver and a kiss. Remember, you are not rewarded for what you have done for the advancement of God's kingdom until you finish the race. You see, you must finish the race by being faithful to the end. You must continually be building your life on Christ but also you must be faithful to do what God has given you to do in building his kingdom. And many who are riding with Satan in his army have sold out to him for what he could give them in the way of riches and fame and power. And unfortunately many of these are wolves in sheep's clothing in the church today. And what they are building for the kingdom will clearly be shown for what it is one day. but unfortunately many are being taken on this ride with them. A powerful word and a powerful warning is found in 1 Corinthians 3 verse 12. But if anyone builds on the foundation, whether it will be gold, silver, precious stone, wood, hay, straw, the work of each one will become plainly, openly known, shown for what it is. For the day of Christ will disclose and declare it because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this foundation, any product of his efforts whatsoever, survives this test, he will get his reward. But if any person's work is burned up under the test, he will suffer the loss of it all, losing his reward, though he himself will be saved, but only as one who has passed through the fire. Do you not discern and understand that you, the whole church at Corinth, are God's temple, His sanctuary, and that God's Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you to be at home in you collectively as a church and also individually? If anyone does hurt to God's temple or corrupts it with false doctrines or destroys it, God will do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy, it's sacred to him, and that temple you, the believing church, and its individual believers are. Verse 17 is speaking of those who are corrupt teachers, prophets, apostles, evangelists, or pastors who spread deadly air in the church. They are destructive deceivers. Each one of Christ's precious redeemed is his temple where his Holy Spirit resides. Any man or woman who destroys the temple of God with air and apostate teaching will be destroyed and will perish eternally. God will take their name out of his book of life. And this is like setting your own house on fire. There is an account of a boy who willingly sold his soul to the devil. The article I read this story from begins by saying, Todd Beasley lived a lonely childhood, and he was born with brittle bone disease and spent much of his young life in the hospital. He broke 70 bones at various times and had 28 hospital stays. The disease eventually caused deformities in his small frame. Todd couldn't spend his school years with other children. Instead, a tutor came to his house from first grade through sixth grade. Then from 7th through 11th grade, Todd got the help of his fellow classmates. Todd says, I had a two-way telephone system between my house and the school. Classmates would carry this little cowbell speaker microphone from classroom to classroom and plug it into the telephone jacks there so I could hear what was going on in class. Todd's life took a dark turn during one of his lonely hospital stays. He says, I had overheard the doctor telling my mom on the eve of a surgery in Milwaukee back in 1959 that they didn't know if they could save my leg. Todd recalls, the doctor thought that I was out of earshot when he told my mom that in the hallway, but I could hear it. And Todd was devastated, that is, until another patient told him that he had the answer to Todd's dilemma. A 13-year-old child in the bed next to me said, Everything will be okay with your leg if you just join my club. I said, What club is that? He said, The Devil's Club. But you've got to understand once you've joined, there's no way out, and you can never tell anyone. Todd's Christian upbringing had not prepared him for this, but he desperately wanted to save his leg. I agreed to join. and that night I felt like I had sold my soul. I felt that I'd lost it forever. The internal pain, the agony of that moment was just horrendous, Todd reveals. Amazingly, his leg began to heal. The bone six weeks later had grown in straighter and stronger in my left leg than my lower right leg, which had never been broken, he explained. As years passed and his guilt grew, Todd desperately searched for a way out of his vow. I even took time to look into the Bible at that point But all I could see there was Woe unto you hypocrites Todd says I thought God hated me Every Sunday I would be dragged into the presence of an angry God with cold feet and cold hands. So Todd rejected his Christian upbringing. I ran as far away from God as I could possibly get once I got out on my own. I wanted to put him out of my mind and enjoy my life on earth while I was here because I figured I was headed for hell, so I might as well enjoy what time I had, he says. And that's why I got off into drugs, got into other sinful things, and just ran from God. But in retrospect, Todd says, God did not give up on him. He kept pursuing me, Todd says. I went through eight auto accidents in three years without a scratch. Then a tornado went ten feet over my car when I was in Jackson, Tennessee, and that was the most frightening moment of my life. Todd's near-death experiences pushed him to search once again for God, the same God that he had fled from. I didn't know where to find him, Todd admits, and I'd been gone from him for so long. In other areas, life moved forward for Todd. He married a wonderful, kind-hearted woman named Sherry. With Todd's talented voice, he excelled in a radio career. Part of that job responsibility as morning announcer was also production director, which meant I recorded the commercials and religious programming for Sunday morning service. There was a pastor who came to record one of his sermons, and he asked after our recording session, Have you ever accepted Christ as your Savior? Todd remembers. He says he never shared his dark satanic secret with anyone. But that day, Todd confided everything to this pastor. He showed me from scripture over coffee that the devil is a liar and the father of all lies and that Jesus still loved me and that I still had hope and could be saved, Todd says. It was like throwing a rope to a drowning man. So I reached out and I accepted the Lord as my Savior. Todd says that by making that decision for Christ, a great weight was lifted off his shoulders and I was able to go tell my wife what I had been involved in. I was able to go tell my parents, my mom and my dad, he says. Years later, Todd and Sherry had a son named Joshua. Todd was devastated when he found out that his newborn son also had brittle bone disease. So Todd and Sherry began to pray for healing. To date, Joshua at the age of 10 has never had a single bone broken. Todd says, I'm delighted that God healed him. I knew all the pain that I went through as a child with broken bones, and for him to be spared, that's the most merciful thing that I could ever imagine or ask for. Todd today encourages everyone to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior. Jesus came to set us free from sin and gives us hope no matter what we've been involved in, he explains. And I don't care if you've sold your soul to Satan. I don't care how far into the depths of the occult you've sunk. If you are a witch or whatever, there is hope for you. Jesus loves you, and he can set you free. He did it for me. He can do it for you, too. Todd was a young boy at the time. he made his decision to sell his soul to the devil. But God in his mercy restored this one back into his grace once again. Hebrews 6 verse 4 declares, It is impossible to restore and bring again to repentance those who have been once and for all enlightened, who have consciously tasted the heavenly gift and have become sharers of the Holy Spirit and have felt how good the word of God is and the mighty powers of the age and the world to come. If they then deviate from the faith and turn away from their allegiance, it is impossible to bring them back to repentance. For because while as long as they nail upon the cross the Son of God afresh, as far as they are concerned and are holding him up to contempt and shame, it is impossible to bring them back to repentance. for because while as long as they nailed upon the cross the Son of God afresh as far as they are concerned and are holding him up to the contempt and shame and public disgrace for the soil which has drunk the rain that repeatedly falls upon it and produces vegetation useful to those for whose benefit it is cultivated partakes of a blessing from God but if that same soil persistently bears thorns and thistles It is considered worthless and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. Todd was very fortunate to be restored. This scripture says that those who taste the things related to salvation and fall away again can never be restored back to repentance again. Todd had heard of the truths of scripture as a young boy, but never did swallow them. The truth stayed in his head, but did not take root in his heart. We have read of what this is portraying in the account of Esau and Judas Iscariot. These are those who, through some horrible sin, lost their salvation because they had spiritual understanding, which amply demonstrated what they understood in the holy word of God. And these are sins which lead to death. selling out to Satan and his system for whatever reason will cause one to forfeit their salvation altogether. It was a number of years ago that we knew a woman who had dabbled in the occult and knew much about it and she has since repented and received Christ as her savior. She shared how difficult it was while she lived in this secret dark world hearing voices and the demands to do things that she did not want to do but did them only to be relieved for a little while of the oppressive harassment of the devil which would come back time after time making more demands of her. She shared something then that we have never forgotten. She said whenever she wanted to call upon the power of Satan, she would raise her hand, put it up and would bend all of her fingers downward, but she would keep her pointer finger and little finger straight up. and when she did this an ominous evil manifested power of Satan dropped in our midst and she cried out oh Lord Jesus Lord I'm sorry forgive me we rebuked the evil one and his vile manifested power went quickly with him she was shocked that this Luciferian sign still held the instant ominous power and authority that it held for her then before she had come to Christ. We have never forgotten this incident. But I want to tell you since that time, we've watched over the years the number of political leaders in our nation, in foreign nations, and believe this or not, even leaders in the church today who use this Luciferian sign to draw on Satan's power and authority in order to accomplish what it is they are endeavoring to do to build their own kingdoms on this earth. Thank you. The End whom they owe their allegiance. Many are successful today because they've sold their souls to the devil. When I recently went to the net to see what I would find when I plugged in Luciferian hand signs, I was shocked and appalled at what I found. All kinds of links revealed those who belong to Satan, even those in the church who are well-known leaders, especially in the charismatic circle. And this angered me, since we consider ourselves to be spirit-filled believers who believe and move in the gifts of the Spirit according to 1 Corinthians chapter 12. I learned that there is not only one Luciferian hand sign, but there are many. But two seem to be used most often. And the one that I had previously described to you, and the other, which is a sign many use as well today, is when they put up their thumb and pointer fingers together while the other three fingers are slightly bent forward. From the side, this looks like the number six. Many teenagers are using this sign today. When walking in the mall, we see young people, old people alike, flashing these satanic signs back and forth to one another. Luciferian is very great in America today. the Christian music industry is filled with occultism and is promoting the lie that everything with a Christian label on it is Christian and the church is buying the lie hook, line and sinker many of the Christian artists have knowingly sold out to Satan and have the success that they now have please understand I did not say all have sold out I said many have sold out And my reason for even mentioning all of this is to educate you and make you more aware of how far the visible church is steeped into the occult, and your part is to recognize it and flee far away from it. We are not conspiracy theorists. We are far from that. But what I have been speaking about today in this word regarding the secret societies and the new world order and Satan's sinister plan in working through them and even the fact that there are many wolves in sheep's clothing in the church today goes hand in hand with biblical prophecy throughout the book of Daniel and the other prophets. Jesus Christ himself and other New Testament scriptures, which all talk about these events, these signs of the times, and things that must happen before Jesus Christ's second coming. A warning from Paul in 2 Corinthians 11, verse 13, in regards to the wolves in the church, he says, Such men are false apostles, spurious counterfeits, deceitful workmen masquerading as apostles, special messengers of Christ the Messiah. And is it no wonder for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light? So it's not surprising if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness, but their end will correspond with their deeds. In so many words, Paul is saying, why do you let these people exploit you? The Corinthians believer had allowed godless false teachers to make them their spiritual slaves. And this is no doubt What is meant in ways such as exploiting them with gimmicks and stuff which involved including draining them of their finances? These deceitful workers of iniquity are imposters who practice their deception on ignorant and ill-informed Christians who were not spiritually mature. These workers of iniquity are crafty, fraudulent, and hypocritical. and they are guided by the evil one to whom they have sold out to. He is their master. Today the church is full of leaders such as these. Many who ride with Satan have infiltrated the church and are leading many, many thousands into hell along with themselves. They sold out to Satan and they follow him rather than the one who died for them in order that they may have a share in eternal life. They are only concerned with the here and the now. And these wolves in sheep's clothing peddle their doctrines, which are mixed with have-truths. People have been believing this mix for so long that they're intoxicated with air and no longer have the unction of God's Spirit within to alert them of the lies that they are feeding on and making a part of their belief system. This again is talking about the great harlot, those whom she joined in prostitution or idolatry with Revelation 17 declares she with whom the rulers of the earth have joined in prostitution idolatry and with the wine of whose immorality, idolatry, the inhabitants of the earth have become intoxicated. Our scripture says, she had an intoxicating effect on all people. So many times in this ministry, through audio and video messages we have given the warning of false teachers and prophets and apostles who have had all kinds of things and stuff that they are peddling in the church today. And many of these are well-known evangelists who are guilty of selling out to Satan in order to satisfy their insatiable desire for wealth and fame. Listen, not all leaders in the church today give the Luciferian sign to show who they are in league with. Most do not. Many have touched the lance offered by Satan. They've sold out by compromising the truth for self-gain. There are many well-known names in the church today who are guilty of spiritual treason when it comes to their method of ministry, their motivation in ministry, and also their doctrine in ministry. For example, Well, I'll be out of 100 money. Woo! Woo! Woo! Get some anointing. You put some up here. Put some anointing on this money. You put some up here. Prosper. Prosper, I said. Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo! Oh, my God. Hey. Hey! Woo! Woo! Shh! We have videos called God-Given Discernment and Wake Up Christians in America, which can be seen by going to our website. There in the video section on the homepage, you can access this video which gives a prophetic portrayal of the church today and her present condition and state, which God showed in a dream as little children who are at the helm of a huge ship which represents the church today. This is a sad indictment or a charge against the visible church as a whole, dear ones. These people trust in their own righteousness and capabilities. Spiritual treason and compromise are terrible violation of God's holy word, and yet they are so common in the church today. and basically go unnoticed and unreproved by the vast majority. Most of the church has been desensitized to these atrocities even though they are so harmful and detrimental to their own personal spiritual maturity. This spiritual treason, as I said, is for selfish gain and it is widespread while faithfulness to God for the sake of His truth and also for the salvation of souls is almost vanished from the visible church today because of the watering down of the truth and the propagation of the lie that says, once saved, always saved, or the lie that says, you will never be perfect in this life. This latter one is saying that the price is considered too costly to pay to remain faithful and keep commitment with God's covenant. So just do the best you can. This is like taking a chance with salvation. Jesus Christ said, be ye perfect as my Father in heaven is perfect. Another place in scripture says grow up into the perfection of the Lord. And bottom line here is the word perfect in Greek means no more than become mature in Christ. But those who teach these lies and this is a great segment of the church are teaching people that by the once saved always saved doctrine or better known as the eternal security doctrine and the other lie which says you can't be perfect. In effect, these are saying that you don't have to make a real commitment to seriously force yourself your way through the narrow gate in order to be saved. Well, Jesus taught and also commanded that we become perfect or mature in him by literally living the spiritual life in him. And this will only happen if we truly obey and submit to Christ's commands and to his precepts and ways to do what he commands. Others, who are wolves in sheep's clothing, peddle their wares in the form of many empty-headed books on the how-tos of this Christian way of life or how to attain a higher level in communicating or fellowshipping with God or in a communion kit which promises to bring you wealth or rocks from Israel which hold the voice of the prophets or with a purchase of an olive tree, you can be guaranteed to be rooted in Israel and not only that, you will get a deed that shows the authenticity of your purchase. You can even buy the lie that if you learn how to play the bells, you can be taken to a higher realm of worship with God based on a quantum physics theory. Even kundalini trance dancing is acceptable in the church today. And the prophetess who endorses and instructs believers in this demonic kind of dance says it will take you beyond regular worship to where you can enter into a place in the body, soul, and spirit where you will feel a freedom to dance and celebrate your love for Jesus Christ with a new abandoned level of expression and experience. And she says you will find your own spiritual portal into this realm. Well, dear church, I am here to tell you this is nothing more than a demonic pagan ritual where a demon comes in and takes over in your body. And what these people are experiencing is totally abominable and despicable to God Almighty and his son Jesus Christ. There are many wolves in the church who have sold out to Satan and who are now promoting their books about UFOs and aliens. And it should be questioned by all believers who fall for these rants, what does this have to do with the gospel of Jesus Christ and salvation that he offers? It seems far removed with anything that is Christian and or the salvation of souls. Could all of these books and ploys of Satan's ways be distracting you from tending to the salvation of your souls? Please understand, I am not saying everyone who writes books or is well known in the church community today is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Your job and responsibility is to know who you are following. Our job is to sound the trumpet and alert you to the fact that the church and the world is falling apart and to provoke and inspire you to take stock in the condition of your soul and your standing with God and his son Jesus Christ in this day and hour. And our part is to tell you not to fraternize with the enemy. And this is not a popular thing to be preaching. Jesus asked a very significant question in Luke 18.8 when he said, when the Son of Man comes will he find persistence in faith on the earth? Jesus wasn't asking something that he didn't already know. He knew that at that time in the day in which you and I now live millions of millions of professing Christians would be living religious, worldly, carnal lives having a form of godliness but deny the power of his truth which has the ability to bring true internal change within their beings. And Jesus, by way of his words, will I find faith on this earth when I return? Is in a sense saying that his work, his ministry, and his sacrifice might be highly compromised by many to where multitudes may not be deeply transformed or restored back to him as they ought to be. Jesus is in hopes that multitudes would have accepted his offer of salvation so that his power would be at work in their lives to truly transform them into sincere sons and daughters of the living God and true soldiers in his service filled with his power and authority as to the mandate in Isaiah 61 which says he has anointed me to preach good tidings to the poor and he has sent me to heal the broken hearted to proclaim liberty to the captives and opening the prisons to those who are bound to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. When you enlist in the Lord's army, you will not pick and choose what you will say or where you will go, but you will without reserve lend your mouth, your time, and bottom line. You will give your life to Christ's cause and His service. God doesn't ask you if you will say or write this or that but he tells you what you will say and or what you will write you would never think of selling out for a deceptive offer from Satan to accept his demented and twisted power or authority God forbid in your healed and delivered state you truly sense Jesus Christ's mercy you truly feel his love you know his compassion and you know his eyes are upon you and his protection surrounds you and you put no conditions on God. You know that you have volunteered for sacred service in his army and you know without a doubt it is for his glory and his glory alone. You've grown in certain maturity to know that you would never dare touch his glory and let alone profane his word or his ways. There is a holy and reverent fear of the Lord that resides within you and this is more real to you than anything else. Your eyes have been enlightened to know and understand your reward for being faithful to him and your reward for your faithfulness is given to you at the end of your life as you step into eternity. But you must remember always there is a great adversary who will come somewhere along the way to endeavor to steal you from this call and reward before you reach the end of your journey. Yours and my part is to stay close to Jesus always, even as these end days turn more evil and we see our Christian rights, which were once protected by the Constitution, stripped away from us one by one. The day will come soon when the mark of the beast will be made mandatory for all citizens in the United States of America. Will you be strong enough in your faith to resist it and suffer whatever consequences that may come along with your resistance to it? Will or are you presently keeping watch on world trends and signs of the time as Jesus commanded in Matthew 24? Are you praying always and are you being a student of the word and applying what you learn in the word to your daily life? Are you actually living what you learn? you see you alone are responsible for your own salvation you are accountable to God you have no one to blame if you don't know what is happening in the world and the church as far as the wolves who are amongst us are concerned if you hear this word at a later date than is being delivered to this congregation today and you do nothing to search out what I have talked about then you have chosen to remain ignorant if you do not already know these things. If you do not question what you have been learning in your church as to how it lines up with God's truth, then you choose to be ignorant and possibly you will lose out on eternal life because the one in whom you follow may have chosen to touch Satan's lance, which means that he or she is being ruled and governed by his power and authority because they have chosen to follow Satan rather than Jesus Christ. This word today is packed full of food for thought. And if you care about your salvation, it is our prayer that you will heed the warnings and suggestions in this word today, so that you may be well armed as a soldier in Christ's army to fight the good fight of faith as we enter into the time such as this nation has never seen before. Hosea 14.9 declares, Who is wise that he may understand these things, prudent that he may know them. For the ways of the Lord are right and the uncompromisingly just shall walk in them, but transgressors shall stumble and fall in them. You are responsible for your own spiritual outcome and growth. May we all receive the Lord's mercy and love in abundance in these days that lie ahead of us. Thank you.
