In September 2022, The LORD began to show me things I did not want to hear about others, but my loyalty is to The LORD Jesus Christ.

Some things about people and ministers and so-called ministries have been shocking.  Back in 2006 I went to Charlotte NC to visit and to attend some meetings.

I ended up at a meeting being held in an old PTL building.  Anyway, as I entered, I noticed there were tons of books and materials to purchase in the lobby, and myself and a friend went into the meeting to find a place to sit, and we decided to go up about halfway in bleacher type seating and the building seemed to look like there were at least 500 people.

Suddenly, I started feeling a gut-wrenching burden and I was bent over weeping.  I could tell my friend and people around me did not understand why I could not stop, but I kept praying as quietly as possible.

I kept asking God what was wrong, and I just continued to pray and yield to The Holy Spirit.  All I could do was pray in The Spirit in Tongues and weep between my legs and I could not stop.

As the service started, I still was not able to stop praying nor could I get up.  As the service continued, it was turned over to a man who got up on the platform and began to speak and began to act like a spiritual auctioneer.

He started with $1000 dollars stating that if the audience would give the money, then God was obligated to give them something.

The place was packed, and when I heard that man say that I began to weep louder, and I prayed to God under my breath, that if it were His Will for me to leave, that He would tell my friend to ask me to leave.

Right after that thought and prayer, my friend said let us get out of here.

I got my things together and we got up to leave, and you could hear in the silence the sound of “gasping air” when we stood up to leave and everyone was looking at us with shock on their faces and I was still weeping.

As we walked out of that building the weight of that burden lifted off me, and we went to our vehicle and prepared to leave.  As we pulled out of the parking lot there was a steady stream of people leaving that building.

“If anyone teaches otherwise and does not consent to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which accords with godliness, he is proud, knowing nothing, but is obsessed with disputes and arguments over words, from which come envy, strife, reviling, evil suspicions, useless wranglings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.  From such withdraw yourself.
Now godliness with contentment is great gain.  For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  And having food and clothing, with these we shall be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition.  For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”   1 Timothy 6:3-10 NKJ.

God has allowed me to experience and feel just a little of what Jesus did when He wept over The Temple and how angry He was with the Money Changers in The Temple.

“Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves.  And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.””   Matthew 21:12-13 NKJ.

The prosperity gospel is a damnable heresy and a false teaching spoken by false teachers and preachers.

I came up after I was baptized in the Holy Ghost in 1984, and a couple men I met gave me booklets about financial prosperity in The Church.

So, like a lot of folks, I was exposed to a lot of this type of teaching in the 1980’s.

I also want to apologize to God and to you for teaching this damnable heresy.  I have seen a lot of error through the years and witnessed and experienced it first-hand and I imagine there will be more that God will expose as the days draw near to the return of The LORD Jesus Christ.

I have been experiencing an opening of my eyes to what I have been blinded to.  Much of it of late has been shocking and I hope and pray He continues to expose everything that is hidden in us all.

I do not know how much is being revealed, but I am grateful and continue to pray as a watchman of The LORD so that I will remain on the wall and continue to warn the people.

There are many charlatans and Christian con artists who will be exposed in the coming days, and we must draw near to God in a sincere heart of love and in simplicity in prayer, study our Bible, and obedience to His Word only!  Amen?

“Then Jesus spoke to the multitudes and to His disciples, saying: “The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. Therefore whatever they tell you to observe, that observe and do, but do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.  For they bind heavy burdens, hard to bear, and lay them on men’s shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. But all their works they do to be seen by men. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. They love the best places at feasts, the best seats in the synagogues, greetings in the marketplaces, and to be called by men, ‘Rabbi, Rabbi.’ But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi’; for One is your Teacher, the Christ, and you are all brethren. Do not call anyone on earth your father; for One is your Father, He who is in heaven. And do not be called teachers; for One is your Teacher, the Christ. But he who is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in. Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. Therefore, you will receive greater condemnation.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.
Woe to you, blind guides, who say, ‘Whoever swears by the temple, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gold of the temple, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that sanctifies the gold? And, ‘Whoever swears by the altar, it is nothing; but whoever swears by the gift that is on it, he is obliged to perform it.’ Fools and blind! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that sanctifies the gift? Therefore he who swears by the altar, swears by it and by all things on it. He who swears by the temple, swears by it and by Him who dwells in it. And he who swears by heaven, swears by the throne of God and by Him who sits on it.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. 24Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and [l]self-indulgence. Blind Pharisee, first cleanse the inside of the cup and dish, that the outside of them may be clean also.
Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness. 28Even so you also outwardly appear righteous to men, but inside you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.
“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! Because you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous, and say, ‘If we had lived in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.’
Therefore you are witnesses against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets. Fill up, then, the measure of your fathers’ guilt. 33Serpents, brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of hell? Therefore, indeed, I send you prophets, wise men, and scribes:some of them you will kill and crucify, and some of them you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from city to city, 35that on you may come all the righteous blood shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Berechiah, whom you murdered between the temple and the altar. 36Assuredly, I say to you, all these things will come upon this generation.
O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of The LORD!”   Matthew 23:1-39 NKJ.

If you say you are a believer in Jesus Christ, and are connected and led by the various modes of the popular, posh, prosperity players, preachers who prophesy out of their own poisoned spiritual pit like a cobra fanned outward to engage the tune and captivate in vision, its victims with the dance and the mesmerizing glance, and once captivated, its venom blinds and thus entwines itself from view in its basket and once the tune is played, you will be dismayed and deprived of your own sound spiritual mind!

Instead of preachers and prophets who seek and save the lost, they proselytize persons into their posh, prosperous, professional, poisonous, provocative, and deceptive dance, promoting their vice daily with inoculations to be sure it is kept packed and hidden for their approval to build upon their vision as The Proprietor of their own building with all sorts of deceptive signs, wonders, and miracles.

“Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel land and sea to win one proselyte, and when he is won, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.”   Matthew 23:15 NKJV.

Those who claim to be true believers of Jesus Christ follow the teachings of The Holy Bible.  We are accountable to know and preach the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and to have a personal relationship with him! Having a relationship with Jesus isn’t about the size of a building or arena!

Never in history has Christianity been a popular message.  We must point people to the truth of God’s Word only and live our lives by that.

A lot of what is seen as popular on Christian radio, television, internet has promoted a lifestyle of worldly extravagance! When we ask God to teach us, and we read and study The Holy Bible, it shows a very different way of life and A lifestyle of picking up our cross daily and following The LORD.

Instead of building the kingdom of God many are building the kingdom of their own making, backed by Hell!

Please do not misunderstand me, you can be in meetings, and you will feel things, you will experience spiritual activity that is why we must understand what New Age is and the threat it has to the true moving of God’s Spirit.

There is a false spirituality involved with some of these popular people!  If it were possible the very elect would be deceived. (Matthew 24:24)

“For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. or nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)  Then let them which be in Judea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.  Behold, I have told you before.”   Matthew 24:5-25 KJV.

Let no one fool you! Our walk with Christ is a narrow one and few there be that find it. Popularity or huge gatherings are not the fruit or proof that God has his stamp of approval on those gatherings, meetings, or churches.

Nor seemingly signs, wonders, and miracles either.  Satan will always counterfeit real signs, wonders, and miracles.

Today I had a man of God ask me “What do you do in ministry and what is your calling?”

The only thing I could say was, “I am simply a servant of Christ Jesus the Messiah.”

I do not like titles, I shy away from them. However, men call me this and that, but in my heart and mind I am simply a servant and handmaiden of The LORD.

Everything we do in life is because of Jesus not man.  We must seriously look inwardly and ask ourselves what our motives truly are.  Why do we act the way we do?

You can have Jesus Christs’ name attached to anything, but it doesn’t mean He approves of it.  Satan and his demons know God’s Word well and are very clever.

They twist the scriptures to mean exactly what they want them to mean.  The devil isn’t stupid either and when he sees Jesus or God’s name on it, he will work feverishly to bring corruption.

If man has been corrupted and is building a kingdom to man with God’s name on it, Satan works quickly so that he will rule and reign in that faulty environment.

There will be spirit, gifts, and all sorts of manifestations, but if it is not based on God’s Word, we must reject it.

New Age has all the marks of a spiritual experience with God! It looks, feels, smells and the teaching or preaching is a rainbow of dreams caught up in a spiral of deceit as they soak away in a self-medicating way stating it is God’s presence!

That is why God’s Spirit moves on! When the cloud moves, we move with God, not the other way around.

We need to pull away and get back to the basics of prayer, fasting, and time spent in study with the Word of God.

Man’s agenda is to build their own kingdom and Satan will side with that to help build it because it is mixture and strange fire.

We must ask ourselves, am I building God’s Kingdom or mans?

Pride is the opposite of humility.  I believe that humility is the sign of a true minister and leader in the body of Christ!

During prayer, I had a vision of yokes, however, these yokes were odd, as these were sheep yoked with goats!

I was very alarmed when I saw this, and I knew instinctively that The LORD is going deeper into the motives of the heart and home, in stirring up the dregs, and exposing things that have been hidden a long time.  God is knocking on doors of the heart and home.

I knew within myself that this is another layer of “exposure” that is being peeled away.

This layer is not for God to see, because He sees everything.  No, this is happening so His People will see and understand.

God is just and right, and He reveals His Secrets to His Servants the prophets, so The Body of Believers may understand what is happening.

God speaks to His Servants, the prophets, in advance, so they can see His Justice and warn the people to prepare accordingly.

This “exposure” is happening worldwide, by those who confess they are true Believers.  Yes, this is happening in their very own hearts and dwellings!

“Surely The LORD God does nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.  A lion has roared!  Who will not fear?  The LORD God has spoken!  Who can but prophesy?” Amos 3:7-8 NKJV

The secrets of God are revealed for a reason.  Not only to reveal His Justice and Mercy, but to instruct us and to warn us when we stray, and to speak of things that are yet to come.

When a lion roars, it can cause fear but gets the attention of all who hear.  When God roars, the fear is not a tormenting fear to His people, but it is the sound to return to Holy Reverence.

There are times when things are hidden in us that we are not aware of, but The LORD’s Desire is to bring us back into alignment with Him.

I am alarmed and disturbed by what I can see!  There are many who confess they are a believers in Christ, yet who never pray or pick up their Bible to read or study it.

How can anyone have any understanding of God’s Will without His word?

How can a person be ready for what is coming, when we fail to seek The LORD and find His Will for our lives?  We cannot separate Jesus from The Word!

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”   John 1:14 NKJV

The Word of God, The Holy Bible is our Life and Eternal Perseverer!  None of us remains in one position in life, even if we don’t move, we are moving!

Life is a struggle, and it is our God-chosen course of study and story, as we meet the many challenges it brings.

Even when we stop, and want to get off, life keeps going and the clock keeps ticking.  It is God’s ordained Purpose and Will for us, that we develop a close relationship with Him in two-way communication with Him.

Once we find Him, we will grow as we gain a spiritual understanding of His eternal Book, The Holy Bible. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His Word will never pass away!  (Matthew 24:35)

“But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.”   Hebrews 11:6 NKJV.

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says The LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.  Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.  And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”   Jeremiah 29:11-12 NKJV

These are the days of unveiling the matters of the heart.  Everything about this life and eternal life has taught us the validity of this most Holy and Eternal book, The Holy Bible!

You cannot base any spiritual person, experience, feeling, gifts of The Spirit, sign, wonder, cloud formation, etc. or be able to know who are true or false ministers, are without knowing God’s Word!

“You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of The LORD your God which I command you.”   Deuteronomy 4:2 NKJV

“And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.”   Revelation 22:19 NKJV

God told me early on, not to read or study anything about the occult, or other people’s supernatural experiences, and try to measure myself by them.

The LORD told me not to seek out the depths of Satan, but to seek Him out (God) and then He would tell me what I need to know about Satan.

There is so much churchy New-age supernatural stuff that goes on, and if we do not have a strong relationship with The LORD, it will be very easy to be deceived.

When you are deceived, you do not know it!  But when Christ shines the light on it, you better run, run, and run to God’s Word!

The former statement is true for every Spiritual leader, Godly Office, or gifting — these will always point you to Jesus Christ and His holy Word — The Bible!

To know God’s Voice, comes through familiarity by knowing The LORD in intimacy in prayer and fellowship with Him, alone in our secret place.  We are all called to know The LORD intimately.

Regardless of how we will glorify The LORD, whether it is through life or death, we face what comes, knowing where our hope lies.

Even if it comes to losing all things, or pay the ultimate price as a martyr, we have His never-ending Glorious Eternal WORD — and Eternal Life!

“But what things were gain to me, these I have counted loss for Christ.  Yet indeed I also count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them as rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in Him, not having my own righteousness, which is from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which is from God by faith; that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death, if, by any means, I may attain to the resurrection from the dead.”   Philippians 3:7-11 NKJV.

The time is at hand when a greater and sharper measure of discernment is being released; when the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of The LORD will raise up a standard against him.

As true believers in Christ, we must get our eyes off man, and put our eyes back fully on and committed to our LORD and Savior, so that we will see through His eyes, the Great Shepherd of the sheep!

Many of you as you are reading this, this Revelation is happening right before your eyes!

I have been very disturbed by what I have seen, and moreover, as you read this, your eye will be opened to what is happening within your own home, Church, school, job, community, and Nation so we can pray!

However, we cannot stop and wait for someone who has chosen not to go.  God is calling each of us upward and onward!

You cannot lean upon a friend, a pastor, spouse, job, an organization — on absolutely no one!  When you stand before Jesus, you will answer for your life, not your friend’s life or your pastor’s life, not even your spouse’s life.

It is important to understand that if we lean on people instead of The LORD, we can lose our way and be found shipwrecked, because of unwise advice or counsel.

“Thus says The LORD: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from The LORD. For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land which is not inhabited.”   Jeremiah 17:5-6 NKJV.

“Now look! You are trusting in the staff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.”   2 Kings 18:21 NKJV.

I am so adamant about this, because the process is so subtle.  One day you were caught up with The LORD in prayer, bible reading, study and reaching others for Christ — he was showing you so much and you felt invincible Spiritually.

Then you go through a struggle, and you seek counsel from a friend, and then soon you begin to lean on the person.  It begins very innocent, to set you up so that you lose your edge.

As you lean on man, the days turn into months, the months turn into years, and it is all designed by hell so that you depend on the arm of flesh.

Why?  Satan knows the secret of our power with God.  He isn’t stupid, and his desire is to sway God’s beloved away from Him!

When we are driven by the staff of man, by accepting a mere human vessel to counsel by, and we forsake our closet or secret place of prayer, Satan has ensnared us into his web of deceit.

It was so gradual that it was hardly noticed, but soon you lose the fire bit by bit and once you are depleted, you feel like your strength is gone and cannot pray anymore unless you pray with someone.

At this point. we do need to seek out help to get delivered. or we will become shipwrecked.

Over the process of months — then even years — you have lost your first love relationship with The LORD, and it seems impossible to get it back, and many give up at this point.

We must return and choose to create a habit of rebuilding our Prayer Life, because it doesn’t come easy.

With so many distractions and the fight of our own flesh, we must ask God seriously for help!

It took time for our wick to smolder, and it will take time to develop our life source of oil through prayer and fellowship with The LORD, as we re-learn to lean only upon Him!

We cannot separate prayer from the Bible, because God confirms everything from The Word of God.  It takes time to establish a habit and a godly pattern, and you can feel overwhelmed.

But it is never too late to begin again, and to rebuild the walls and structure prayer brings.  We must become actively accountable to those God puts over our lives.

I remember the story of “The Hare and the Tortoise.”  The tortoise continued the route slowly but steady, and the hare wanted to run fast ahead and take his ease and sleep.

And then, while the hare slept, the Hare woke up and realized the Tortoise was too far ahead for him to make it to the finish line even though he was the swiftest. (The Tortoise and the Hare)

The race is not always to the swift nor to the strong, but unto them that endure to the end.

I want you to understand that God knows how vital it is that you commune with him in prayer and intimacy.

He is not standing over you with a ball bat to hit you!  His Love is what motives Him because He is God, and He is Spirit and those who worship Him must worship in Spirit and Truth.

We are body, soul, and Spirit, as He is God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  We must reach out to Him, for He is closer to us than we first believed.

It is through the communication of prayer and getting still and quiet before The LORD is our answer and He knows the secret of our power with Him.

“And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.”   Romans 13:11 NKJV.
