Like a Lamb
"If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall
go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld
another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast
before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship
the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed." Revelation 13:9-12
Here we see the emergence of false religion turning the affections of the
people towards the dragon by engendering them to worship the first beast.
This is why Jesus said that they would deliver you up to the councils and
scourge you in their synagogues (Matthew 10:17). Even now we have reached a
time where men will not endure sound doctrine - not in the world, in the
churches!
I recently went to Elizabeth Baptist Church in Atlanta to hear visiting
minister G. Craige Lewis teach a 2-day message about the evils of Hip Hop.
In what could only be described as the church's opening act to this message,
there was a "holy" hip hop artist who performed. The performer invited the
people to come down to the "dance floor" (the church altar) and led them
through every kind of worldly, lascivious, club-style dance while he rapped.
When it came time for Bro. Lewis to speak, he revealed the true spirit that
was in operation during that performance. He led a thorough examination of
the Scriptures and imparted knowledge about the religious, anti-christ
nature of hip hop. Calling for repentance and renewal, he encouraged the
people to bring their hip hop paraphernalia to the altar the next day when
he would conclude his message and offer prayers of cleansing for those
affected.
Unfortunately, that day would not come as the church pastor refused to let
Min. Lewis return. Although he could not dispute the Scriptural evidence
provided, the pastor stated that the message had caused too much confusion.
He told the people to take the cursed items back home and indicated that he
was keeping his hip hop wear as well. This is the type of environment God is
describing in Revelation. A religious system more conformed to the image of
the world than to the image of God; which purports to be a lamb
(representing Jesus), but speaks as a dragon. Just as in the days of
Nebuchadnezzar, when the music plays the people are expected to fall down in
worship of the anti-christ image. Those who do not will be seen as the
problem and will be reported by the false religious system just as the
Chaldeans accused the Jews in that day. What awaits those who refuse to bow?
A fiery furnace. Yet, think it not strange concerning this fiery trial which
will try us. Christ is with us through it all.
In a recent Good Morning America interview touching on the best way to raise
Christian children, Diane Sawyer and Chris Cuomo pondered, "Talking about
dying for God, can this be good for kids? As somebody who has raised
Christians, you always think that the message to the kids is about love.
Jesus' message is love. Part of the message of course in Christianity is
tolerance." What were the two anchors questioning? The idea that children
should be raised with the understanding that we are in a spiritual war; that
they should be taught to pray and intercede about the sin in our country.
Are these concepts unbiblical? No, but people are so drunk with the wine of
the fornication of this harlot with the world, that a new Christianity
having nothing whatsoever to do with Jesus Christ has been defined. In fact,
it is based on another Jesus altogether; one who accepts all beliefs and
ignores all sin. Haven't you noticed how many of today's professing
Christians are not even familiar with what is in Scripture? Further, to many
proclaiming Christians, what the Bible says simply does not matter.
"And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on
the earth in the sight of men, and deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by
the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the
beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an
image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had
power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast
should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of
the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich
and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their
foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him
that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number
of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six." Revelation
13:13-18
How does this beast deceive the people? By the lying signs and wonders it
performs. It caters to a churchworld in search of a circus act, a show, a
miracle, a blessing, a megafest, etc. Instead of being prepared in these end
times to represent Christ at the expense of themselves, they are still
seeking something for "me". Again, this religious beast causes those who
will not submit to this system to be killed. The number of the beast (666)
is a reference to the Adamic nature (fallen man). In Scripture, the number 6
often refers to the number of man since he was created on the 6th day. The
number of the beast then indicates a man whose entire being (his soul,
spirit, and body) is focused on and in love with himself. This is the nature
that is going to take over the human race and drive them to worship the
beast. These will be a colony of selfish people as illustrated by greed,
lust, fatherlessness, pleasure-seeking, pride, and a tendency for fantasy.
The perfect description for such individuals: they will be a colony of
sodomites.
A Colony of Sodomites
The one prerequisite for becoming a homosexual is to be in love with one's
self. Sodomites are so consumed by self-love, they can only relate to those
who are like themselves.
The very nature we are born with is the nature of a sodomite and it will
work itself out in you over the course of your life until you are fully
manifested as one. If you had sex outside of marriage, then you were on the
road to becoming a full-blown sodomite. People don't fornicate because they
are attracted to someone else; they fornicate because they are sodomites.
Illicit sex is evidence of that fallen nature vying for control, trying to
express itself, to feed itself, to grow. Left unchecked, your behavior
becomes more perverse as the sodomite nature takes hold.
One of the biggest misconceptions in the church today is that only
homosexuals are sodomites. Anyone who participates in oral or anal sex is a
sodomite by definition. You are catering to that same spirit, even if the
act is with a member of the opposite sex. Why? Because you are conditioning
your mind to adopt a genderless view of sex. For example, everyone has a
mouth. Once the mouth becomes your source of sexual satisfaction, the body
appended to the mouth becomes insignificant. This is the process of
reprobation outlined in Romans Chapter 1. We have a world of masquerading
churchfolk who are actually living as sodomites while the younger
generations openly revel in this lifestyle.
When the Bible says "Even the women.." in Romans 1:26, God is letting us
know how extreme such a lifestyle is for women. Yet, we have never seen so
many women turned over to lesbianism. Girls as young as 11 years old turning
to this perversion by the thousands. This is not just a random occurrence.
It is a plague. It is one of the evidences that this current age is wrapping
up, for even the women have succumbed to this reprobation. It is nothing
these days for young people to "hook-up" with each other in casual sexual
interactions, regardless of gender. Any type of distinction in genders is
being completely eroded away.
We are dealing with the incarnation of the king of the sodomites. Satan is
going to get into a sodomite so that he may be enthroned as king and
worshipped by sodomites. A sodomite is the physical manifestation of Satan's
character. Why do you think there are so many sissy preachers in the
churches? They rob the people of their money so they can ride around in
Bentleys, buy thousand dollar suits, etc. They are conditioning the people
to get used to an effeminate presentation of a man so that the congregations
will gladly receive their king when he comes. If we understand Satan's plan
to disempower the church through an influx of sodomites, then when we will
not be surprised when we hear of situations like that of Ted Haggard (former
pastor of New Life Church). Believe me, he is not the only one living this
double life. Yet, the people are unable to see the sodomite in the pulpit
because they are operating in the same spirit themselves. As God continues
to expose this spirit in the churches, it will become clear that the day of
preachers being in a pulpit - squalling, acting a fool while saying nothing,
espousing philosophies of how to be successful in life, and trying to head
up mega churches - is ending.
Our Only Hope
Our only answer is to get to the Lord. The last days will be driven by
individual witnesses reaching people through personal interaction out in the
streets just as in Acts. There will be evidence of the truth of your words
so that their faith will stand in the power of God. The end of the age is
approaching rapidly and things are changing daily. The Bible says that men's
hearts will fail them looking after all the things coming to the earth.
This is why I am fasting. This is why I am praying. No one can prepare you
for this, you have to spend the arduous time before the Lord to be
transformed. Shake off any drag that may be on you so that you can hear
directly from God and stand in these austere conditions. This is not a group
affair; you must be fortified to stand as an individual for you never know
when you may be culled off by yourself. What if God calls you to say
something on your job that gets you arrested? Will you be able to go through
this alone?
You must be prepared in the inner man to represent Christ no matter who else
does. The battle is in the inner man, gaining possession of our souls,
having our minds renewed, and being transformed to the image of Christ. This
is an internal, spiritual work. So what does the devil do? Try to get you to
focus on the physical. He has the church running around trying to unify. You
hear people saying all the time, "The church just needs to get together."
The church doesn't need to get together, YOU need to get together. YOU need
to be made whole. If you start merging these churches together you will wind
up with the worse mess in your life. There is no unity in people pretending
that the differences which separate them do not exist. God has never said in
His Word that the churches should get together. He says that the believers
will come together in the unity of the faith. Once individuals have been
transformed, the faith of God imparted within will unify His Body all by
itself. That is true fellowship, not some ecumenical movement trying to
unify religious organizations, which is the filthy plan of the anti-christ.
Being on one accord is not something we can "try" to do, but it is a natural
manifestation of the organic life of Christ being birthed in us.
A fallen angel has been working all these eons towards a climax of settling
down inside of a man. What will be the catalyst? A global church body which
has entered into a warfare of fasting, praying and seeking God. This will
empower Michael the archangel to take cast Satan down to the earth. The
Bible says Satan will come to earth as a madman knowing that his time is
short. He will become incarnate in a vessel and set-up a kingdom to make his
last stand against God by attempting to exterminate the Jews. One of the
first things Satan told Hitler to do was to exterminate the Jews. Satan
knows that the Jews must be engrafted in for the church to be complete. So
he believes that if he can eradicate the Jews, God's word becomes null and
void. This is why Jesus' last visitation is not to North America or
Antarctica; He returns to Israel to stop the extermination of the Jews.
What is it about this one little nation that engenders so much hatred from
the world? It is all about getting rid of the people who actually brought
forth Jesus Christ. This is the same venom that will be unleashed against
Christians who represent Christ in the end.
The anti-christ will have charisma, masterful intellect, and an ability to
resolve seemingly unsolvable world situations. The fourth reich will not be
like the others. It will be a global harlot church crowning a global leader
of the world. We are not talking about something that is far off down the
road; it is already happening. The only question you need to answer is,
"When my number comes up, what will my response be?" It is not enough to try
and make it through these times. You must know what spirit you are of. It is
time to wake-up and be prepared to deal with Satan incarnate.
"If any man have an ear, let him hear. He that leadeth into captivity shall
go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the
sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints. And I beheld
another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
