We are living in a time of revealing. Christians, Conservatives, Libertarians, Patriots, and other freedom and liberty-minded people, should take the time to rejoice. There are many reasons to rejoice today but here is one that some may be missing – we should rejoice because the God-haters, the America-haters, the freedom-haters, the liberty-haters, in short, the satanic, demonic, Leftists among us are finally being exposed on a scale and at a depth never before seen in American history.
Leftists, Marxists, Communists, Democrats, America-haters, and God-haters, all have one thing in common – they serve a demonic master who has completely destroyed their innate ability to reason for the common good. I and many others have said for many years that Leftist politics, whether Marxist or Globalist, is a mental disorder. We are seeing that truth verified like never before.

In one of the apostle Paul’s last letters — the one he wrote to Timothy — he gave some vitally important words of caution and warning. 2nd Timothy 4, starting at verse 2: “Preach the Word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts, shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears. And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned to fables.”
Then, he added, “But watch thou, in all things, endure
afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.”
I have been working in full time ministry for nearly 20 years now. I remember when I began, I was astonished at the many churches that were no longer enduring sound doctrine. The “seeker friendly” movement, which morphed into the “Emergent Church” movement was on a “fast track.” Mega churches were springing up with massive buildings. So large, in fact, they call them “campuses.” And many of these mega-churches have MULTIPLE campuses in various areas of their cities, because one building will not hold all those who want the feel-good, false “love gospel” message that is preached there.
I was saddened in
those early days of this work, to see so many formerly rock solid, Bible-based,
Scripturally sound churches DEvolve into nothing more than “happy fun
time.” A “feel-good experience,” where
one could go and see a show, lift their hands in mock reverence to God, dance
and sway, while being promised all manner of prosperity, health, wealth, and a
life of abundance. “Your BEST life
NOW.” This is just SO contradictory to
everything God’s Word says about the Christian life. Sin is no longer a word allowed to be spoken
of in many churches, and if it IS spoken of, it’s only to say that once we
simply say a prayer or walk an aisle (or worse yet, just raise our hand “with
all eyes closed and all heads bowed”); we are “good” with God.
We can then go
about our normal lives as usual. Except
now, we are told, we are assured of heaven… just because we repeated a few
words and sheepishly raised our hand while no one was looking. COME ON folks! Talk about biblical illiteracy. Talk about wolves in sheep’s clothing….
HIRELINGS lulling fat and happy fools into a false sense of eternal
security. This is so sad.
But you know, we
cannot put all the blame on the pastors.
They’re just giving the people what they want. Look again at the Scripture from 2nd
Timothy: it says THE PEOPLE will not
put up with sound doctrine any longer, and so THE PEOPLE heap up for themselves
teachers to tell them what they want to hear, to soothe their itching ears.
It is the great
apostasy, the great “falling away.” And
I have watched it begin as a tiny sprout many years ago, and I’ve watched it
grow, blossom, flower and then re-seed itself many times over the years… Today it is so prevalent in Christendom that
one is hard-pressed to find a faithful congregation of true believers
anywhere. I guess that’s why God’s Word
says there will only be a small “remnant” that stand firm to the end.
During my time in
ministry, I have seen the old timers, the pastors who were faithful in teaching
the WHOLE counsel of God’s Word grow older and retire from the ministry… or
in many cases, be FORCED OUT of their ministry by church boards and elders —
only to be replaced by somebody younger, more “hip,” more “in step” with the
culture and times we are living in. In
other words, a more CARNAL “pastor.”
These “cool” new pastors often use Hollywood films on their big
projection TV screens to illustrate their sermons… they make off-color jokes
from the pulpits. They wear t shirts and
ripped blue jeans as they speak, to appeal to the average “Joe six-pack” in the
audience. They have a “hot” worship
team, complete with electric guitars, drums, smoke and mirrors and in some
cases even laser light shows. “It’s all about the EXPERIENCE,” they
say.
Friends, I’m not
some old fashioned stick in the mud.
I’ve been around. And I can tell
you, this ain’t “church.” At least not a
biblical church. It MAY be a “synagogue
of Satan.” But it’s not church, and it
most certainly is not God-honoring.
There is NO reverence for Him; no fear of God there at all. I have seen youth leaders take their group
of kids to R-rated movies as their Youth Group “activity” for the week; I have seen pastors hold community events
called a “car smash,” which apparently the kids love… they get an old car,
put it in the middle of their parking lot, and let the kids destroy it with
baseball bats, spray paint, and tire irons.
This is their “entertainment” for the evening — a way to get kids to
“come to church.”
I’ve seen pastors
dress up like Hollywood movie characters, or the Easter Bunny or Santa
Claus. I’ve seen the bounce houses and
carnival games and rock concerts… nowadays, they will do ANYTHING to get kids
— AND ADULTS — to come to church, and KEEP coming to church… KEEP RIGHT ON
filling those collection plates. Just
don’t DARE tell them what the Bible REALLY says…. are you KIDDING? That’s MUCH too harsh. That’s no fun. Who would want to hear THAT?!
So when it comes to
doing things of any real significance; when it comes to being SALT AND LIGHT
and IMPACTING our society and culture with what our society and culture is
in DESPERATE NEED OF — the TRUTH, for heaven’s sake — they are all
AWOL… oh NO! They CAN’T “go there!” People don’t want to hear about sin and evil,
or the consequences of sin and evil in their lives. They don’t want to be CONVICTED in their
hearts. They want to be COMFORTED and
entertained. And they call this “going
to church.” Preach the WORD? Are you kidding? Reprove, rebuke, exhort with all LONGSUFFERING
and DOCTRINE? WHO in the world wants
THAT?! Endure afflictions for the sake
of the Gospel? “NO, thank you. I’ll take a
large coffee, please, and if it’s not too much trouble, please make sure the
service is over with by noon, because we need to get home to watch the game.”
If you want to know
why our world is the way it is, it’s because professing Christians have given
up. It began at least a generation or
two ago — and maybe longer. But at some
point, we stopped taking God and His Word seriously. And the Great falling away began. Instead of serving CHRIST and HIS KINGDOM, we
began seeking after things we perceived to be “good, fun, enjoyable,
entertaining.” Instead of afflicting the
comfortable and comforting the afflicted, we BECAME the comfortable,
…and we like it that way. So as for
those old time preachers who just want to preach the “hard stuff,” “hit the road, Jack, we’ve decided to go a
different direction.” Yes, indeed,
they have.
Over the years I
have known countless faithful men of God who have been run out of town by these
congregations that no longer wish to hear the truth. I, myself, have been “disinvited” from more
churches than I can count. But let me
tell you about a friend of mine who has recently experienced this at his church
in California. His name is Pastor Justin
Hoke, and he is a faithful truth-teller, a watchman on the wall. He doesn’t allow political correctness to
dictate his message. He speaks the WHOLE
counsel of God’s Word — out of love for the lost, and to inform those who
profess Christ of the spiritual culture war we are SUPPOSED to be fighting
— as we stand our ground against the enemy and his demons.
He recently put a
message on his church sign stating common sense, simply TRUTH. The sign read: “Bruce Jenner is still a man.
Homosexuality is still sin. The
culture may change. The Bible does not.” According to a news story by
PulpitAndPen.org, LGBT activists swarmed the church recently, claiming the sign
was “hateful.” They later vandalized the
sign. And less than a week later, Pastor
Hoke made the following announcement on his Facebook page:
“As of today, I am no longer the pastor of
Trinity Bible Presbyterian Church. After
much prayer and counsel, I have decided that it is best to briefly communicate
what has taken place. 1) I was informed by our other elder that he
felt he could no longer follow my lead as pastor. 2) I
was informed that essentially all but one couple in membership would leave the
church if I continued as pastor. 3) Our
other elder and the couple felt that those who left would likely return if
I would leave.”
Pulpit And Pen
commented, “Apparently, the public
outrage was enough to cause discontent within the local congregation, which
appears to value the opinion of men more than the Word of God. May it not be said of us.” I should note that this came after the pastor
gave one of the most powerful sermons I’ve heard in a long time, entitled “Love Warns.” In his sermon, Pastor Hoke noted that to
“accept and affirm” what the culture embraces, but which God’s Word calls
abomination is NOT to love those trapped in sin; but rather WARNING the
wicked of their need for repentance and forgiveness by the shed blood of Christ
is the definition of truly LOVING your neighbor. It was an incredibly powerful message he
gave. And then he was immediately
tossed out of his role as pastor. For
simply telling the TRUTH, straight from God’s Word.
I’m reminded of the
prophet Jeremiah, known as the “weeping prophet,” because he wept for the
nation of Israel. God sent him to
declare His Word and Truth to the people, and sound the warning regarding all
their iniquities. But the people did NOT
want to hear. Instead they demanded, “Jeremiah, tell us something GOOD for once…
tell us what we want to hear!”
Let’s read just a
little bit from chapter 7 as God explains things to Jeremiah: “But
this command I gave them: ‘Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall
be My people. And walk in all the ways
that I command you, that it may be well with you.’ But they did not obey or incline their ear,
but walked in their own counsels and the stubbornness of their evil hearts, and
went backward and not forward. From the
day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt to this day, I have
persistently sent all My servants the prophets to them, day after day. Yet they did not listen to Me or incline
their ear, but stiffened their necks. They did worse than their fathers.”
And so God
continued, “So you shall speak all these
words to them, but they will not listen to you. You shall call to them, but
they will not answer you. And you shall
say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their
God, and did not accept discipline; truth has perished; it is cut off from
their lips.”
Does that not sound
like America today? Truth has
perished. It’s DEAD! Evil is called “good” and good is called
“evil” and we LIKE it that way.
And anyone who DARES defy the celebration of sodomy or speak TRUTH on
this matter is virtually crucified by all — even those you would THINK would be
on your side — the “church” people.
Indeed, we are at a place and time now where even those who profess to
be people of God will no longer endure sound doctrine. Instead, they heap up for themselves teachers
who tell them what they prefer to hear.
I can tell you,
from PERSONAL experience, being a watchman on the wall puts a target on your
back — for Satan to aim at, AND, sadly today, for many church-goers to aim at
as well. You WILL be persecuted for
speaking truth. It is SO SAD realizing
just how many — I dare say, the VAST MAJORITY of regular church-goers today —
have NO IDEA what the Scriptures actually say; nor do they have any intention
of finding out, of “studying to show themselves approved.” They would rather just attend the weekly
meetings at their local “Religious Service Provider” … as long as it’s a
message that makes them feel good about THEMSELVES.
In the Gospel of
John, Jesus said, “IF YOU HOLD TO MY
TEACHING, you are really My disciples.
THEN you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” You see,
every church-goer claims to want to follow Jesus — until they find out
where He’s taking them. If the truth be
told, they don’t really want Jesus, nor do they want His TRUTH. They just want the benefits. They just want to feel good. But apart from Jesus you can’t even know the truth… and unless you HOLD to His teaching,
you are not His disciples at all. So if
you’re not serious about being His disciple, then by calling yourself a
“Christian” — you are actually taking the Lord’s name in vain. So stop it.
America is in the midst of serious judgment. We are a nation of depraved minds. God has sent strong delusion upon our people
because we refused to hear and heed His Word.
If you want to know WHY the world is in such a mess, I can tell you. We have deserted our Heavenly Father, and shunned His Son. America will never be great again, unless we turn back to God, — who promises if we do, THEN He will heal our hearts and our minds, and our land. America needs Jesus. And men and women of true faith and courage, willing to preach the Word — in season and out. Reprove, rebuke and exhort with all longsuffering and SOUND doctrine. Unfortunately, in our world today, TRUTH sounds like HATE, because our people hate the truth…
I’ll
tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I’ll get on my knees and pray
We don’t get fooled again[1]
And
Jesus began to say to them, “See to it
that no one misleads you. Many will come in My name,
saying, ‘I am He!’ and
will mislead many … for false Christs and false
prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to
lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed;
behold, I have told you everything in advance. Mark 13:5-6,
22-23 NASB
There is an
eight hundred pound gorilla on the world stage and nearly every political
leader in the world, save Trump, Ader of Hungary, and Duda of Poland, plus a
few more, refuse to acknowledge its presence. It is getting really awkward for
Macron, Merkel, and May. The atrocities that they have allowed to be committed
against their citizenry by this gorilla deny reason. Can open revolt In France,
Germany, and the United Kingdom be too far off?
Stated simply, world leaders who advocate for the continued freedom of this gorilla to behave in any way it desires are either deceived or being paid to downplay what is clearly a war against Western civilization. I believe it is some of both but mostly deception. Somehow, Western leaders believe they can contain the cancer that is Islam.
What kind of
blindness is this? How can political leaders who rise through the cesspool of
maneuvering to reach national prominence not understand what Islam is? The
message of Islam is simple: convert or die. There is no ambiguity within Islam.
This is why I say that the world and especially the leaders of the world’s
nations, save a few, are completely deceived. This deception is satanic. Let me
explain.
Jesus warned
against being deceived. He said, “See to it that no one misleads you. Many will
come in My name.” The context is that the time will come when people will
attempt to mislead you by advocating for false Christ’s. There have been many
people over the years that have done exactly that. They have all been proven to
be liars and frauds. The most dangerous deception concerning Jesus – the false
Jesus – is found in Islam.
Satan, who is
known as Allah to Muslims, has constructed a masterful deception and named it
Islam. Christians of all people should know better than to believe the lies of
Islam but unfortunately that is not the case. This is to their shame and
potentially to their destruction. How does Islam present the most clear and
present danger to Christians and indeed the world? If you want to understand
the barbarity of Islam and why Islamists are blood-thirsty savages, then you
must understand their eschatology. Islam has a theology of the end times.
Would it
surprise you if I told you that Jesus plays a significant role in Islamic end time’s
theology? Of course, when I say Jesus, I’m talking about the Islamic Jesus.
There is a difference between the biblical Jesus and the Jesus of Islam and you
must understand this pivotal point.
Islam
recognizes Jesus as a great prophet. But Islam states that Mohammed is greater.
In fact the 12th Imam or Mahdi of Islam is even greater. The Islamic
Jesus is a great prophet but:
He is not the Son of God.
He was not born of a virgin.
He was not crucified for the sins of the world.
He did not die on a cross.
Because He didn’t die He was not resurrected.
He was taken to heaven just like Elijah and Mohammed.
He is standing with Allah waiting for Allah to allow Him to return to
the earth.
Now, some
Christians get excited over that last point: Muslims believe Jesus will return
to the earth. In their excitement they rush to an ignorant conclusion: We can
use that as a starting place for interfaith dialogue.
As Lee Corso
likes to say: Not so fast my friends! In Islam, Jesus returns to assist the
Mahdi, the Islamic Messiah-Savior figure with several necessary activities. The
Islamic Jesus will, according to Islam:
Jesus returns as a radicalized Muslim and
Jesus will implement Sharia Law across the entire world.
Jesus’ testimony as a Muslim will lead many Christians to convert to
Islam.
Jesus will testify against those Christians who refuse to convert on the
Day of Judgment.
Jesus will abolish Christianity.
Jesus will destroy every cross.
Jesus will kill all swine.
Jesus will kill the Muslim antichrist and his followers, which in
Islamic theology are the Jews.
Jesus will marry, have children, and die.
The Islamic
Jesus is the exact opposite of the biblical Jesus. In fact, the Islamic Jesus
is a near perfect representation of the biblical false prophet. Yet, we have
mindless Christians that believe we can dialogue with Islamists and find a
common ground.
Let’s
consider the Islamic messiah-savior figure, the Mahdi, sometimes referred to as
the 12th Imam. The name “Mahdi” means “the Guided One.” The Mahdi is
also called Sahib Al-Zaman or Al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, which translated mean “the
Lord of the age” and “the Awaited Savior.” The Mahdi is Islam’s savior.
The
appearance of the Mahdi on the world stage is to Muslims the equivalent of the
return of Jesus Christ to Christians. The Mahdi is:
A descendant of Mohammed.
The final and longed for Caliph who will establish the Islamic worldwide
Caliphate.
He will rule the world through a series of holy wars.
His rise to power is preceded by an army of black flag carrying
warriors.
The black
flags these warriors carry are inscribed with the words “There is no God but
Allah, and Mohammed is his Messenger” in Arabic. The Mahdi will lead the black
flagged warriors to conquer Israel and will reign from the Dome of the Rock in
Jerusalem. Muslims believe the Mahdi will be loved by the entire world.
The reason
Muslims believe the entire world will love the Mahdi is because they believe
the Mahdi will establish world peace. He will negotiate a peace treaty between
the Arabs and the Romans, by which is meant Christians.
Let’s
contrast what Islam reaches about the Mahdi with whom the Bible says
accomplishes these things. The Bible teaches that the antichrist will arrive on
the world stage as a political savior. He will bring peace to the world through
a treaty between Israel and the Muslim world. The antichrist will appear to be
a spiritual leader for the entire world and he will make use of the one world
religion.
The biblical
antichrist attempts to destroy Jews and Christians. In fact, the biblical
antichrist breaks treaty with Israel, demands he be worshipped, and seeks to
attack and conquer Jerusalem and establish his headquarters there.
Readers that
are even vaguely familiar with the Bible see clearly that the Islamic savior,
the Mahdi, is the biblical antichrist. The Islamic Jesus is the biblical false
prophet.
Islam is
Satanic. It is thoroughly demonic in origin and practice. Indeed, it manifests
the spirit of antichrist right before the eyes of the world and yet world
leaders turn a blind eye to the horrific evil being unleashed on innocent
people.
Jesus warned
of the day when false Christs would come onto the world scene, and I remind you
of one such passage in Mark.
And Jesus
began to say to them, “See to it
that no one misleads you. Many will come in My name,
saying, ‘I am He!’ and
will mislead many … for false Christs and false
prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to
lead astray, if possible, the elect. But take heed;
behold, I have told you everything in advance. Mark 13:5-6,
22-23
Those days
are upon us. Here are characteristics of the spirit of antichrist:
and every spirit
that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist,
of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the
world. 1 John 4:3
Who is the liar but the one who denies that Jesus is
the Christ? This is the antichrist, the one who denies the Father and
the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father;
the one who confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:22-23
For many
deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge
Jesus Christ as coming
in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 2 John 1:7
The spirit of
antichrist deceives people, and is a liar. Those consumed by the spirit of
antichrist deny that Jesus is the Christ, the Messiah of Israel and the world;
they deny the Father and the Son and therefore the Trinity; they deny that Jesus
Christ came in the flesh, and therefore the incarnation.
Yet, people
want to say that the God of the Bible is Allah, that Jesus is revered within
Islam, and that if we just keep dialoguing with the Muslims then we can achieve
a peaceful co-existence with them. Neville Chamberlain lives again as every
modern imbecile who believes Islam is about co-existing.
Those that
are pushing a globalist Chrislam one-world religion harlotry should be
denounced and shamed. People that want to have conversations for better
understanding with jihadi Imams should be denounced in the strongest possible
terms.
You want to
have a conversation with Islamists? Tell them to confess their sins and receive
God’s free gift of salvation through faith in Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
Tell them to renounce the demonic lies of Islam and live as a disciple of
Jesus.
Wake up
church!

But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, “This man casts out demons only by Beelzebul the ruler ofthe demons.” Matthew 12:24
If I by Beelzebul cast out demons, by whom do your sons cast them out? For this reason they will be your judges. Jesus Christ in Matthew 12:27
A recent article posted at The Huffington Post by religion reporter Carol Kuruvilla announced the group Vote Common Good (VCG), was beginning a bus tour to selected cities in America to challenge conservative evangelical Christian support for President Trump.
Who and what is Vote Common Good and what issues do they see as problematic for Christians supporting President Trump specifically and the Republican Party generally? Not surprisingly the “who” of Vote Common Good reads like a progressive, leftist, Marxist list of who’s who. The Executive Director of VCG is Doug Pagitt, he of the once dubbed Emerging Church movement, and author of An Emergent Manifesto of Hope, among other books.
Hi friends! This is the inaugural Kingdom War Room with my friends Dr. Michael Lake and Dr. LA Marzulli. In this program, we discuss the foundations of spiritual warfare including the wide-spread deception, the demonic bloodlust loosed upon America, and some of the things necessary for believers to do today.
