Correction

Dear friends,

Weeks ago I sent out an article on the issue of the coming false prophet. I stand for every word that I wrote. At the same time in introducing the article a graphic was used, however morphed, which was a poor choice. Some took this as singling out one leader in the Body of Christ, the current Pope.   That was a mistake on my part. It was not my intention to single out by the graphic introducing the article any person at this time to accuse him of being that false prophet.   Nothing in the text of the article says that.  I believe the jury is still out on leaders in the Body of Christ, including we who lead the National Day of Repentance.  We need to watch and be accountable for the teaching we receive, but we need also to be careful about judging the servant of another. May we continue to be on the alert for false prophets, as our Lord Jesus instructed us, Matthew 24: 11: “ Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.”

Thank you all for your comments.

In the spirit of admonition (Colossians 3:16), in the spirit of humble correction (2 timothy 2: 24-26) esteeming others better than myself (Philippians 2:3) there may come a time when I would write specifically about any leaders in the Body of Christ who appear based on their public statements to be missing the Truths of the gospel, following the path of a false prophet and tickling ears in an increasingly wicked world.  But that time is not today.  The task for today is for all of us to repent before the Lord for our own lapses and in identification with our brethren, praying for His grace, mercy and truth on all of us.

The text of the false prophet article is reprinted below.  May the text be more than an academic exercise; may it serve pragmatically as criteria to assess any false prophet residue in any one of us in the Body of Christ as we seek His Purity.

Here is the teaching again:

How can we recognize the Antichrist spirit that is raging all over the world right now?  One way is to realize that the devil is not the "opposite" of Christ...he is a false "mirror image" that sort of looks like a Christ figure but, just like a mirror image, is completely backwards.  At first glance into this "funhouse distorted mirror" you might initially see some small spark of recognition.  However, if you are not looking VERY, VERY carefully you could be fooled: For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. ~Matthew 24:24  Here are signs of the "False Jesus" image that is about to be presented forcefully to the Biblically illiterate world.  Sadly this false Jesus is loved by many professing Christians and by most of the wicked world.  Here are some of his attributes:  THE FALSE JESUS THAT EVERYONE LOVES - HE WILL ALLOW EVERYONE INTO HEAVEN. - HE CAME TO BRING PEACE, INSTEAD OF DIVISION. - HE DOESN'T REQUIRE OBEDIENCE. - HE DOESN'T REQUIRE HOLINESS. - HE ONLY PREACHES ON LOVE. - HE NEVER SAYS ANYTHING OFFENSIVE. - HE NEVER TELLS ANYONE THEY'RE WICKED. - HE DOESN'T REQUIRE REPENTANCE. - HE CALLS EVERYONE HIS CHILDREN. - HE WILL NOT SEND ANYONE TO HELL. - HE WANTS YOU TO DO YOUR OWN WILL. - HIS COMMANDMENTS ARE JUST SUGGESTIONS. IF YOU'RE FOLLOWING THIS FALSE JESUS, HIS REAL NAME IS SATAN. "For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light."  ~2 Corinthians 11:14 Look in the gospels and find the REAL Jesus! Amazingly...this new "religion" of Human Secularism actually even has its own 10 commandments to follow (easily found on the Internet): THE HUMANIST TEN COMMANDMENTS 1) Thou shalt strive to promote the greater good of humanity before all selfish desires. 2) Thou shalt be curious, for asking questions is the only way to find answers. 3) Harm to your fellow human is harm to humanity. Therefore, thou shalt not kill, rape, rob, or otherwise victimize anyone. 4) Thou shall treat all humans as equals, regardless of race, gender, age, creed, identity, orientation, physical ability, or status. 5) Thou shalt use reason as your guide. Science, knowledge, observation, and rational analysis are the best ways to determine any course of action. 6) Thou shalt not force your beliefs onto others, nor insist that yours be the only and correct way to live happily. 7) If thou dost govern, thou shalt govern with reason, not with superstition. Religion should have no place in any government which represents all people and beliefs. 8) Thou shalt act for the betterment of your fellow humans, and be, whenever possible, altruistic in your deeds. 9) Thou shalt be good to the Earth and its bounties, for without it, humankind is lost. 10) Thou shalt impart thy knowledge and wisdom gained in your lifetime to the next generation, so that with each passing century, humanity will grow wiser and more humane. If you read these 10 quickly...some of them actually sound "nice" and "good."   Just like Satan said to Eve:   "For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." ~Genesis 3:5 Each and every one of these "commandments" is an Antichrist command in complete opposition to what the Bible says.  However, it SOUNDS so reasonable and seductive, just like the snake.    Let's break them down ONE BY ONE:  #1)  This "greater good" commandment is the core root belief of Socialism, Marxism and all despots.  It has lead to the greatest human genocides in all of recorded history...especially Jews and Christians.   But Peter and the apostles answered, "We must obey God rather than men." ~Acts 5:29 #2)  "Curiousity" is what landed Adam and Eve in trouble.  It caused the Rebellion of the entire world.  If you are truly "curious" about something...check the Bible for all your answers.   The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. ~Proverbs 9:10 #3)  Well...this one sounds great!  That is until you realize that the very same people who promote these commandments also believe in ABORTION ON DEMAND, EUTHANASIA and robbing the populace through taxation.  They also believe in the denigration of women by promoting profligate sex which subjugates and demeans them.   No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.   ~ Corinthians 11:14 #4)  Another one that sounds fantastic on the surface.  However...while people may all be equal...all LIFESTYLES are not equal.  Underneath this nice-sounding platitude you will find that secular humanists believe that a transgender should teach your child in the Christian schools and that Pastors should hand in their sermons if they speak against homosexuality.  What it really means is this:  all people are equal except those that hold Biblical beliefs.  We will be severely persecuted, according to this new religion.   NOTICE CAREFULLY THAT "RELIGION" HAS BEEN PURPOSEFULLY LEFT OUT OF THIS LIST!!!  RELIGION WILL NO LONGER BE A "PROTECTED CLASS" UNDER THIS NEW WORLD ORDER.  SEE #7 Commandment:  RELIGION IS EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN!  (Except, of course, The NEW religion of Human Secularism).   For even your brothers and the household of your father, Even they have dealt treacherously with you, Even they have cried aloud after you.  Do not believe them, although they may say nice things to you.  ~Jeremiah 12:6 #5)  This is a flat out unscriptural Satanic statement elevating man's "wisdom" over God's true Wisdom.  Here's God's view: The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding. To him belongs eternal praise. ~Psalm 111:10 #6)  This is simply "Truth Relativity" in a false commandment package.  It basically says:  "There is no absolute Truth...all truth is relative."  If this is true, then EVERYTHING is false, because "truth" is whatever you believe it to be.  This is a root underpinning of complete and total lawlessness and anarchy.  A "true" (pardon the pun) hallmark of an AntiChrist spirit.   #7)  This is the age-old "age of reason" message.  America has been one of the bastions of freedom in the world that does not "force" it's religious beliefs on people.  However, "forcing" has now been watered down to mean ANY MENTION of God in the public square has to be banned.     "Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: ~Isaiah 1:18 #8)  The Bible teaches us there is no such thing as a truly "altruistic" person without Christ in their hearts.  Here's what Jesus said about people: But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.~John 2:24 Do we think we know better than Jesus?  That's called AUDACITY.   #9)  This is simply a pagan, "Mother Earth" doctrine that has been reworked to include the latest new fad "green religion" of Planet Worship.  The word "Earth" has replaced God.   They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. ~ Romans 1:25    #10)  This is another TOWER OF BABEL.  What did God say about man "layering" new levels of man's "wisdom upon false wisdom."   But the Lord came down  to see the city and the tower the people were building. The Lord said, "If as one people speaking the same language  they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. ~Genesis 11: 5-6 Brace yourself...this "New World Order" has begun with a vengeance.  Followers of Jesus Christ will be labeled "Haters" and "Disturbers of the Peace."  Look for our upcoming posting on TRIBULATION.    "Go now and leave your life of sin." ~ Jesus (John 8:11) The Good News is that Jesus triumphed over Satan and made a public spectacle of him.  And the Lord will be with each of us believers always, even to the end of the age.  As we follow His instruction to make disciples of all nations, to maximize our witness we have to be seen as His ambassadors seeking His Purity.   Join us in following the Risen Christ's urging that we be zealous to REPENT daily to be ready for His soon return.

God bless you,
