Why Are Our Churches Not Overflowing?

The United States today has not (yet) reached the level of systemic sin and persecution that the First Century Church was exposed to.  It is still legal and easy to go to Church and worship God, though the winds of change are blowing, and this should be a cause of concern not just for Christians but also for any citizen of the United States who values freedom.

While we have not reached the level of systemic sin from the time of the Apostles, we are well on the way.  On every hand, we find sin and the promotion of sin, and both Christians and the unsaved are worried about it.

We have rampant sexualization of not only adults but also children.  We have transgenderism being forced upon children who are too young to understand sexuality.  We have schools that do not want the parents to have any say in what their children are taught.  We have open borders that are allowing criminals and terrorists into our country.  We have illegal aliens coming into our country without vaccination against polio, measles, and other diseases that had been irradicated in this country for decades.  We have universities and colleges that teach hatred of Christianity and Judeaism.

Not only do we have these issues, but we have a "progressive" government that treats dissent from sinful ideas as a crime.  This government is using tax laws to attempt to dismantle Christian and conservative businesses, schools, and organizations.  This was a method used against gangsters during prohibition, but now the criminals are let loose with no bail to continue preying on the general public while law-abiding citizens are harassed for opposing the murder of babies, the trans influence on school children, and the general destruction of Christian values.  Compounding the government's actions are the noisy heathens who attempt to cancel any person who promotes Christianity or even basic dignity.

Yet many churches are mostly empty.  Sure, the mega-churches have large numbers of people.  If you make people feel good, promise them God-given riches, or promise freedom from all the results of sin, then you can fill a church.  But, when you preach on sin, living like Christ, or the beatitudes, people turn away.

Why?

The answer lies with us; Christians have so undersold God in this day and age that people don't see Christianity as an alternative that will make a difference in their lives!

When those around us complain about these issues, we complain also.  When they say that President Trump will save the United States, we agree.  We commiserate with the world on every issue but never show them that the answer lies with God, not with worldly fixes.  Should we vote for the candidate that best addresses these issues?  Yes.  And we should tell others that God will use this person to fix things.

Instead of commiserating on issues, we should tell people what God has done for us.  Tell them about the peace that surpasses all understanding God gives Christians so that we trust Him and do not worry about our lives.  Give them examples of answered prayer in our lives.  Show them what the brotherhood of Christians is.  People see more brotherhoods in a criminal motorcycle club than they do in Christians.

Our churches should be overflowing with people distraught over how this country is going, yet pews are empty.

We have done a very poor job of showing the world and backslidden Christians that the answers lie with God and the first place to find Him is in our churches...

The Rising Youth of War

 Only the old guard fights wars the way we used to.  The war of tomorrow will be fought with drones, robotic devices, and electronic measures.  The youth of today will be the "new warriors" of tomorrow.  Only those who desire terror and genocide will attack with traditional forces.  Defensive measures will incorporate more and more of the new style of warfare until a time is reached when the new warfare no longer works, and old-style human fighting mixed with fallen angles from the bottomless pit, described as "locusts" and "scorpions" takes place in the antichrist's attempt to eradicate Israel.  This will be during the Great Tribulation spoken of in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ to John.

Here is a great writing to read on the "Hitler Youth".  When you finish it, hopefully, you will begin to see the relationship between the Nazi movement and what is happening in the United States today.  Those who practice fascism today try to point to Christianity as a bunch of Nazis, but the opposite is true: it is, in fact, the very people pointing out Nazis that are the fascists in one of the most egregious cases of "crying wolf" to obfuscate and foment division.

When I speak of fascism, I speak of the attempt to draw everyone into a group as one, with ideas controlled from the top down in politics.  The groups of today, especially among the young, point to conservatives as fascists, yet conservatives are the ones protecting freedom of speech, freedom of religious worship, and the freedom to chart your own course.  It is the liberal contingent that yells "fascist" at the others that is, in fact, the ones who want a "one size fits all" society based on their concept of what is correct, with no allowances for those who disagree.

Groups such as the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Christian Clubs, Church Youth Groups, and many others are under attack by these people who are confused about fascism.  You would think they could at least Google it but they are most likely afraid to find something that would undermine their ignorance.

Fascism, coupled with anti-Semitism, has reared its ugly head across the United States.  Liberal colleges, which have long claimed to be bastions of freedom while denigrating Christians and conservatives, are now under siege by their own fascist student bodies.  The fascists are joining forces with the radical elements of Islam in a hate-fest against Jews and the Jewish state.

Through the 1920s, the German people, especially those with a real education and the ability to think critically, laughed at Hitler.

The Youth League of the Nazi Party was formed in March of 1922 and later became the Hitler Youth.  In 1933 Adolph Hitler was elected the Chancellor of Germany in legal ways, without a coup.  Eleven years after the formation of the Youth League, with most of the children raised in the League now adults, the political structure of Germany changed in a way that has still not been completely overcome.

When we look at what is going on in schools and college campuses today, let us remember that, to begin with, the older generation thought the youth laughable, until they helped put Hitler in power, and those same academics were murdered along with 6,000,000 Jews and 175,000 disabled people that could not contribute to the Nazi regime.

Let us not make the same mistake that the older generation in Germany made in the 1920s...

It Is Far Too Late...

When this country was founded almost 250 years ago, it was founded on Biblical and Christian beliefs.  From Day 1, Satan hated this country and its view of the Christian Bible as the foundation of society, with a special hatred for the worship of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in almost every community.  He had many powerful demons working to destroy this country, and they have made significant progress in the 21st century; in fact, more has been done to wreck our country in the last 23 years than in all the time before.  If you watch the news, you know what is going on.

President Biden, while not the Anti-Christ, is at the very least preparing the way for the Beast of Revelation.  In the last three years, he has destroyed more of the Godliness of this country than any other single person.  Again, if you read the news and are a Christian, you know what is happening.

One of the most formidable issues in the country today is illegal immigration.  There are over 11,000,000 illegal immigrants in the United States, with 2,300,000 being released into the US during Biden's Administration.  That is the "released" number and does not include all the illegals that came in without us knowing about them.

South American countries have discovered that the high cost of prisons can be vastly reduced if they dump the inmates into a caravan and send them into the US.  Why not?  Our Administration has promised to feed them and assist them in any way it can.  Their thinking is, "Why spend money on prisons when the US can handle it?"

Between these released criminals, drug cartels, human trafficking groups, and other criminals, the US is sinking under the weight of all of this.

This has been Satan's plan all along; destroy the moral fabric of this country and fill it with as many people as he can who serve him.

We can't deport all these criminals; we don't know who they are or how many there are.  They are committing crimes daily, and many of these crimes are against their own communities of illegals who have no recourse.  The crime is going to get worse, and there is nothing that we can do at this point; maybe a wall would have stopped them 5 years ago, but Satan's tools in Congress made sure that all possible criminals could get into the US.

The damage is done; it is far too late to fix it now.  This country is forever changed, and the US is no longer a Godly country...

Liar, Liar...

It is really too bad that people's pants don't catch on fire when they lie, or at least have their noses grow longer.  Interestingly, both of these ideas came about because society believed that lying was wrong and detrimental to the strength of our social fabric.  You can't have a good society that is beneficial to everyone when lying is okay.

When I was young, it was constantly stated that if you tell a lie, you will have to remember it and keep it up so that you do not get caught in it; it would be more work to keep the fabricated things straight than to just tell the truth.

Not anymore!  Lying today has become the norm.  People simply say what is convenient for the moment and if you point out that this contradicts what they have already stated, they act as if you are the one with the problem.

I am always reminded of the movie "Extreme Prejudice" from 1987 where Nick Nolte plays  Texas Ranger Jack Benteen and Rip Torn plays Sheriff Hank Pearson.  Speaking of the bad guy, Cash Baily, played by Powers Booth, Pearson says: 

"Funny, ain't it, how it comes around. Right way's the hardest, wrong way's the easiest. Rule of nature, like water seeks the path of least resistance. So you get crooked rivers, crooked men."

How right that is; even in 1987 they still understood this in Hollywood. Here we are 37 years later, and people no longer understand this. They no longer even try to distinguish between lies and truth. I see this happening every day. People lie because it is the easiest way to achieve something, and when they are caught in the lie, they just don't care. They just keep moving on expecting the lies to be believed regardless of the evidence.

It is like an episode of Live PD where they pull drugs out of some guy's front pants pocket, and he starts saying that it is not his drugs, doesn't know how it got there, someone is framing him, etc. He knows that no one believes him, but he will carry that story all the way to the judge...

I see this happening in people's personal lives, in business, in government, just about everywhere, and no one seems to care.

Revelation 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.

Pastors, watch for these...

 While I begin working on the site that will address Satan's tools to deceive and undermine the Church through mysticism and occult practices, I want to point out to pastors, and especially youth pastors, to keep a sharp eye out for mysticism creeping into your church.

Pay attention to the jewelry, t-shirts, stickers, and other items that are being used by members, especially teenagers.  Some of these items are:

  • Pentagrams
  • Crystals
  • Amulets (ankh)
  • Norse or Viking Symbols
  • Celtic Symbols
  • Zodiac Symbols
  • Native American Symbols
  • African Mythology Symbols
  • Hindu Symbols
  • Buddhist Symbols
  • Oriental Words
  • and many more
While not every item is mystical, many are.  A birthstone or engagement ring is not a mystical crystal, but a crystal that purports healing, calm, etc., is a mystical device.  At the same time, people should not become so enveloped in Christian symbolism that they attribute power to the symbol rather than to God Almighty.

Wearing something such as a cross to tell the world that you are a Christian can be a valid testimony; believing that the cross you wear keeps you safe turns the item into a talisman and is not condoned by God.

Watch constantly over your flock that the devil does not convince people to carry symbols that are against the teachings in the Bible.  "No other gods before me" means not to put other things ahead of God, but a meaning much forgotten is also not to bring them into His presence.

As a Christian, your body is the temple of the Lord, and it should never be adorned with symbols from other religions or beliefs!

A New Direction

 God has led me to focus my ministry on the sins associated with the occult.  Moving forward, I will be writing about the occult and how it is affecting the Church in ways that are destroying it.  Many people do not recognize the occult practices as they have become so commonplace in our churches.  The website will be divided into two sections: first, the occult section will be more static, and the sermon session will have new info posted.  Not 100% sure how God wants this done, but I am sure that He will lead me the way He wants me to go.

Be Careful Who You Associate With



14 Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15 What accord has Christ with Belial?[b] Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? 16 What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said,

“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
17 Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
18  and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”

Israel

 Romans 11:17-19

17 But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, although a wild olive shoot, were grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing root of the olive tree, 18 do not be arrogant toward the branches. If you are, remember it is not you who support the root, but the root that supports you. 19 Then you will say, “Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in.”

Every true Christian has been grafted into the tree that is Israel.  An attack on Israel is an attack on every true Christian.  Anyone who says differently denies that the Jews and the Christians are of the same root, as Paul states!

Christians need to back Israel, regardless of their current apostasy, for the day comes when they will be brought back into the fold, the olive tree rejuvenated, and both Israel and Gentile Christians will be one with God.

Pray that God's "Will be done on earth as it is in Heaven."  The end draws near, and these are signs of the times.

Remember that the Devil is sneaky; he started a war between Ukraine and Russia, and many of Israel's backers have sent munitions to Ukraine that Israel could now use.  This was intentional, and Satan did not start the war in Israel until this was done.

It's time for the US to decide who their real friends are in the world!

The Quick Change

 It seems that within just a couple of years, the transgender movement took off and became prevalent in our society.  How did this happen so quickly?  We now have "storytime with a trannie", and schools teach kids that their slightest desire for something of the opposite sex means "gender reassignment".  Psychologists, who long maintained that gender dysphoria should be treated now say it should be catered to with reassignment.  Within just a year or so common sense went right out the window.  What happened?

Some say this has been an underground movement for a long time, but I believe that that was a small movement and that it could not have led to this level of idiocy, this quickly. The truth, I believe, is perfectly explained in the Bible.

Read this:

24 Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, 25 because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.

26 For this reason God gave them up to dishonorable passions. For their women exchanged natural relations for those that are contrary to nature; 27 and the men likewise gave up natural relations with women and were consumed with passion for one another, men committing shameless acts with men and receiving in themselves the due penalty for their error.

28 And since they did not see fit to acknowledge God, God gave them up to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done. 29 They were filled with all manner of unrighteousness, evil, covetousness, malice. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, maliciousness. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, haters of God, insolent, haughty, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, 31 foolish, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Though they know God's righteous decree that those who practice such things deserve to die, they not only do them but give approval to those who practice them. (English Standard Version)

The truth is that God finally gave up on our society.  But why?  Verse 25 tells us that they began to worship the creature more than the Creator.

Our current society is a "green society" and many have noticed how like a religion the green movement has become!

People are more concerned with "mother earth" than they are with Father God.  People care more about a snail than they do other human beings.  From teenagers to the President of the United States, they are willing to sacrifice human beings on the altar of their "green goddess".

They believe a lie - that if they save the earth they save themselves.  They have exchanged the truth of what the world is, and who created it, for the lie of evolution and the false belief of self-righteousness by helping the universe save the earth.

And so God gave them over to dishonorable passions, or as the KJV says "a reprobate mind".

And that is why the trans movement has taken off so quickly; God washed his hands of them...
