Beware of Emmaus:
A sub-movement of the Ecumenical movement that is taking hold and moving fast is called "The Walk to Emmaus". The Walk to Emmaus is called a spiritual renewal program intended to strengthen the local church through the development of Christian disciples and leaders. The truth is that its an adaptation of the Roman Catholic Cursillo pronounced, ( cur-see-o ) Movement, which originated in Spain in 1949. Cursillo de Cristianidad means "little course in Christianity." The original Cursillo leaders designed the program to empower persons to transform their living and working environments into Christian environments. During the 1960s and 1970s, the Episcopalians and Lutherans, along with several nondenominational groups, such as Tres Dias, began to offer Cursillo to their congregations.
In 1978, The Upper Room of the General Board of Discipleship adapted the program for a primarily Protestant audience and began to offer it under the name "The Upper Room Cursillo". In 1981, The Upper Room made further adaptations and changed the name of the program to The Upper Room Walk to Emmaus. In 1984, The Upper Room developed a youth expression of Emmaus called Chrysalis. They openly admit that although connected through The Upper Room to The United Methodist Church, "The Walk to Emmaus is ecumenical." The Walk to Emmaus gets its name from the story in Luke 24:13-35, which provides the central image for the three-day experience and follow-up. Luke tells the story when the risen Christ appeared to the two disciples who were walking together along the road from Jerusalem to Emmaus. The Walk to Emmaus experience today begins with a 72-hour short course in Christianity comprised of fifteen talks by lay and clergy on the themes of God's grace, disciplines of Christian discipleship, and what it means to the church.
The course is wrapped in prayer and meditation with special times of worship and daily celebration of Holy Communion. The "Emmaus community," made up of those who have attended an Emmaus weekend, support the 72-hour experience with a prayer vigil, by preparing and serving meals, and other acts of love and self-giving. The Emmaus Walk typically begins Thursday evening and concludes Sunday evening. Men and women attend separate weekends. During and after the three days, Emmaus leaders encourage participants to meet regularly in small groups. It is stated that the members of the small groups challenge and support one another in faithful living. Participants seek to Christianize their environments of family, job, and community through the ministry of their congregations. The three-day Emmaus experience and follow-up groups are told that they will strengthen and renew Christian people as disciples of Jesus Christ and as active members of the body of Christ in a mission to the world. There are several names this movement goes under. Chrysalis -- an adaptation of Emmaus for high school youth; Horizons -- for college age youth, and Kairos -- an outreach of the Emmaus community taken to the residents of the prison system.
How is the walk to Emmaus misleading Christians?
What we need to understand and beware of is that the Great false Church is in the process of stamping out the original Protestant reformation. The Mother Church understands that they can't successfully change doctrine such as the celebration of Holy Communion, or recognizing the Pope as head of the church of Christ by sending outsiders in to do so. Because many leading members would see them coming a mile away, they needed a plan to infiltrate the Churches with the churches own respected and trusted members. Remember the list above on the ecumenical agenda? One of the first things the Jesuits did many years ago was infiltrate the Christian collages and then re-instruct the new ministers in the doctrines of Rome. They also had all old books burned and then bought out all printing presses in order to control what was printed. In these modern times they began their next point of attack by having ministerial conferences around the country to get much of the old clergy on the same page. They use many ecumenical organizations such as "The Baptist World Alliance" or "The Lutheran World Federation" and "The World Alliance of Reformed Churches" to move their agenda along.
The walk to Emmaus allows the minister of any church to sponsor a few members at a time to attend, and then to testify before the church how great the walk to Emmaus was in order to encourage others to attend. Most that have attended praise the program with statements like "I thought I was converted these past 25 years but now I truly understand real conversion." Or "Now I truly understand the love of God and how to pass this love to others." Or "My life had no meaning until I experienced the Walk to Emmaus." All this sounds very good and along the lines that Jesus Himself wants us to go; and that my friend is what makes it so successful. As I have stated many times over the years, the ecumenical movement will be hard to resist because it will, and does, teach all the ways that helps others and project love. It has programs that teach good values, and brings many together for the healing of old wounds from church to church; however, the problem comes in when during this experience they take the Communion daily as noted above, and at the end of the last day (Sunday) they place their hands on the pagan cross and pledge their allegiance to their savior which comes from the old song "I come to the cross, I look to the cross, I lay my sins at the foot of the cross. What's wrong with "I come to Jesus, I lay my sin at the foot of Jesus?"
We found that Christians who attend began to excuse false doctrine for the sake of their new friends they meet through the walk to Emmaus. They unknowingly replace the true Christ for the false one, thus never truly receiving salvation no more then those that look to any other false god for salvation. The fact is that a false god is still false even if it takes on the name of Jesus the Messiah. We must take to heart the clear warning by Jesus Himself recorded in Matt 24:5. "For many will come in My name, saying, 'I am the Christ,' and will deceive many." The big question is will we believe Jesus' warning and turn from the false Messiah? Will we believe that there is a great deception coming? Will we Beware of the walk to Emmaus?
Fill the Gap:
There's a ministry called the Gap ministry and their purpose is to fill the Gap between the World's religions so we can all come together as one body for the great spiritual jubilee in the year 2000. They bring our children together doing good deeds, and playing sports all the while exchanging and accepting the many mixed up doctrines that are not of God. There's another great movement called "Global March for Jesus" (MFJ) that's also designed to bring all religions together. They teach that doctrine is only a matter of ones interpretation so it's best to leave interpretation to the ministry. They refer to God in terms like the "Grand Architect of the Universe" or "Your Higher Power" in order to make God universal to all religions. These names, they say, enable people of different faiths to join in prayer and discussion without the terms of the discussion causing disputes among them. They teach that this is the true love of God and He will be pleased with this kind of agreement. The question is…what did Jesus say? 'These people draw near to Me with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.' " Matt 15:8-9 Notice that we can be teaching false doctrines even while honoring Him with our lips.
Unity in Diversity:
There are many new organizations and new terms being used today that are intended to lead people into the New World Order. According to Constance Cumbey in his #1 best seller "The Hidden Dangers of the Rainbow." The General Assembly of the United Nations designated 1965 as "International Cooperation Year" and during that year the first World Festival was held. It was called the "Festival of Human unity" The International Cooperation Council was formed and has sponsored an annual festival since then. In 1979 the "Unity-in-Diversity" Council took over the work of the International Cooperation Council." These people began using nice sayings like "Don't look for flaws as you go through life, It is easy enough to find them. It is wise to be kind, and sometimes blind, even flaws have some virtue behind them."
This sounds very good on the surface, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with not going around looking for flaws in people. We all have flaws and should never be self-righteous, or judge others in a condemning way. The point that becomes wrong with the above saying is that we should even be willing to become "blind" to flaws, and that flaws have virtue. If flaws had virtue then Jesus would never needed to suffer and die to cover our flaws! They want you to feel that if you condemn the false doctrine you are condemning the person speaking, but the truth is when we judge the validity of doctrine using the inspired written word of God we are not sinning. We should never become blind to truth for the sake of peace, and to state the truth does not condemn anything but the false doctrine, or the lie. If the person that brought forth the false doctrine for whatever reason does not correct themselves when shown the truth, then that person has condemned him or herself by willful blindness.
That is not our fault, and we should never apologize or feel bad for standing up for the truth as long as we are very sure it can be proven in scripture the correct way. They want to get you thinking in the direction of just unity and love for all people on earth. They want you to become "quiet pillars" in the Church and as stated before, let the minister deal with doctrine. There are many little words they interject into their sermons in order to get us thinking this way. Some of these terms are…Service unites, and Doctrine divides, Live and let live, Diversified, Tolerance, Love, Unity, Unification, Ecumenical goodwill, Evangelism, Compromise, Agree to Disagree, Interfaith, Reform, Faith beyond walls, Interfaith Dialogue, Interfaith Partnership, Building Bridges, and Unity in Diversity.
This last term "Unity-in-Diversity" is also connected to the New Age movement that is connected to many Eastern religions such as the Buddhist. The organization called "Unity-in-Diversity" states "The Purpose of the UDC is to establish and sustain a worldwide coordinating body of individuals, groups, and networks-- to foster the emergence of a new person and civilization based on the dynamic integration of diversity among all peoples and all life." This can't be accomplished under a free system such as a true Democratic Republic. I believe we are fast headed into what I refer to as a "Socialistic Democratic Republic". It will in fact be a Socialistic Republic but will look like, and people will think they are in a Democratic Republic because they can still vote.
Notice the wording here "the emergence of a new person and civilization based on the dynamic integration" denotes {A New World order in unity} without using the term New World order, because people tend to dislike that wording. It gives us (And rightly so) the feeling that we are being brought into captivity, so they reword their sermons, and speeches to get us to accept it. The very definition of unity is to be together; to be at one with each other. In fact unity is the absence of diversity. Diversity is to be divided, and not at one with each other. The two terms are contradictory, and should never even be considered together. By bringing these two terms together in the way the New World order people are doing is to bring sure destruction to our understanding of the truth of God.
The truth is that if God would not in His love for us intervene in the future we would completely destroy ourselves from the face of the earth. Some may say that is a drastic and irresponsible statement, but if you think it through and continue listening, you will see my point. The ecumenical crowds advocate a very dangerous idea of integrating reason and faith, science and religion. They teach that we all should respect the teachings of all the prophets of ALL religions, and cultures. They want a worldwide society in unity, regardless of the many false gods that will be worshipped as a result. You see, Satan is the god that will slip into our lives when he succeeds in overwhelming this world with Unity-in-Diversity. This type of thinking really takes away our freedoms, while making us think we are gaining freedom. True freedom can only be enjoyed in unified harmony that comes from obeying the commands and doctrines God has set down for mankind. He is the creator and knows what we need to function with joy, love and peace. To allow all these mixed up religions in our lives will insure confusion and chaos comes out of confusion.
The true reason we were created and the way we can function correctly as a whole in harmony with the earth, and with each other, is to love, obey, and worship the creator God in heaven. That is what the Ten Commandments layout. To allow "Unity-in-Diversity" to convince us that we can do whatever we desire and we can just worship any god we please invites total confusion. This thinking allows baby's to be murdered in the womb, and schools to become places where our children learn how to become demoralized. Schools are now teaching homosexual behavior as an accepted way of life. It allows what is called, and accepted today as same sex unions. Deviant behavior can't be put down because that would get in the way of letting people be themselves. Your Ok, I'm Ok, is the menu our children are being fed and we can't even punish them for deviant behavior without fear of being taken to court!
With the "Unity-in-Diversity" kind of thinking we can't say the Pope should not be called the most Holy Father. If we say women should stay in the home so the family will remain strong, we are jumped on by the women's rights crowd. Already criminals have become the victims, and the true victims, and police have become the criminals. For the sake of unity they say sin is not sin, but just someone's personal ideas of behavior, and thay state that no one has the right to say what is right or what is wrong. When we bring up the point that truth is truth and all truth comes from God, they say, "What is truth?" When we show what truth is, they say, it's just our interpretation of the Bible, but the creator God says if someone changes the truth it becomes a lie and those that lie are of their father Satan the devil, not of God. Jesus stated that He came to bear witness of the truth and that anyone that is of the truth would hear His voice. His voice does not have many different interpretations, and those that truly seek Him will see the same truth. Will you hear His voice?
Unity in diversity considers witchcraft as just another religion that is good and acceptable if they claim to be white witches. Nature worship is their main theme and when we study into ancient religions such as witchcraft we find nature worship in the form of tree, and egg worship. The Yule log and fire is also a main form of nature worship in witchcraft. If you studied their books that go far past the birth of Jesus showing witches how to set up their pagan trees and color their sex eggs, you would never have anything to do with Christ-mass, or Easter because to do so is to accept witchcraft and Sun worship. Witches claim they are good and all the evil that has been attributed to them is false. But God is the one that stated that they were evil, so I guess they are saying God is lying!
If this world completely adopts this way of thinking we will soon be in a condition much worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. In fact we can read a scripture from the book of Timothy that describes our time and the days just ahead. It states…"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, un-loving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
The list of un-godliness in the above scripture have actually become "cool" to our young people the world over. There is only one way this type of attitude could sweep throughout the entire world and that is by irresponsible teaching, and people believing, we should be able to do whatever we want. That we should be able to worship God any way we want, and what ever we want to be true should be true, and the "Unity-in-Diversity" attitude does just that. No one wants to take responsibility for their actions, and no one wants to be the one to say sin is against God and man.
We have already seen that what comes from the Father in heaven is truth and is also doctrine. It's sound doctrine if it comes from God and to say otherwise is to say God is lying. The Gospel Jesus brought is from the Holy Father in Heaven and is also true doctrine. The purpose of Jesus' coming and sacrifice, Baptism, laying on of hands to receive the Holy Spirit, Jesus' teachings of the resurrection, the biblical teachings of healing, and the teaching concerning the Sabbath and the Ten Commandments are all commands from God and are true doctrine. We see that all Christians should hold fast to the true doctrines of God as recorded in Titus 1:7-9 Let's read it, It states…"For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict." Notice that a minister should fast to sound doctrine.
Please take this to heart for the saving of your eternal reward in Christ as He has promised all those who will not reject Him. Unity comes when mankind obeys God the creator and does not accept man's doctrine for any reason. We must stay focused on true doctrine and be united with Christ and never forget that no matter how it is presented to us, diversity is just that, DIVIDED. Please understand that any organization that's encouraging universalism of government, economics, military, or religion, are involved in the formation of the coming Beast power. Those at the top want to remove God and sit on His throne because they are under the sway of Satan the devil. Brethren, the way we can tell if we are fellowshipping with the true people of God, is to look at how close any fellowship group is to the Beast systems teachings! The doctrinal gap between the true Church and the false is getting wider and will get even wider as time goes on. It will not make a difference what Church a person belongs to, or what their beliefs are, because in the very near future we all will either, have to change to the ONLY truth that comes from God the Father alone or we will have to take the side of those who are leading many people into this coming One World Religious System.
It will become very clear who the true people of God are before the Christ returns. Those who love the truth will have to give up this world and its universal religion for the true Christ. The true word of God is life giving and life sustaining because they are God breathed. All things that come from God are alive and are done by His Spirit, and always have a purpose that's coupled with the love of God. Jesus stated, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God." Without the words of God we could not have any basis for right or wrong. The words of God are the power of God and by them the earth and universe was made, and is sustained. It's by the command of God the universe operates in its precise orbits. It's by the command of God the seas stay within their shores. By God's spoken words the earth was flooded and His Word restored it. It was the spoken word of God that Moses spoke bringing the many plagues upon Egypt and it will be His Word that gives power to the two witnesses soon to come. It will be by the spoken word of Jesus, (Who is the word of God,) that we shall become Spirit born children in His Kingdom, and all those who deny the power of the word of God will not be there. There has always been and always will be negative results when man disobeys or disbelieves the Word of God.
Satan wants to keep us out of the Kingdom of God as well as prevent us from having a personal relationship with God our Father now, so he will deceive us in any way he can! Satan the devil knows if all mankind could understand and obey the true Word of God and His plan, then he would not be able to destroy or deceive. Many fail to remember that Satan has been around for thousands of years causing all the war and deception and there's no deception that has passed him by, no cunning attack he will not fail to use, no weakness of the flesh he will not tempt with, and he is hard at work today as many professing Christians are taking it easy listing to smooth sermons, singing songs and rocking back and forth. The reason God is allowing this Great Apostasy to sweep through the churches today is to test all of us to see if we truly love God, and if we will stand up for Jesus or will we deny Him either directly or by denying there's anything wrong without checking into it. If you will stand up for the truth you very likely will become like many who are now scattered with no church to attend. Do we love God and His truth to the point of giving up all for God and all He teaches, or will you compromise the truth.
Yes God is allowing this Apostasy to scatter the brethren so the wolves can't get them now and in the future when it reaches the point of prison and death. These trying times should cause us to exercise the Holy Spirit by allowing it to open our minds and lead us into all truth, but we don't need to become so paranoid that we are obsessed to the point that we are in fear of all we hear or read. Jesus taught that what's in the heart the mouth will speak, so if someone is working to deceive for a following or money, it will become very clear. Fear and obsession is of Satan and if we are staying close to God through Jesus His Son we have nothing to fear from Satan or those working to deceive. Jesus, the good shepherd, will not leave or forsake us and if we truly seek His truth and His will in prayer, and even fasting if necessary, we can't be deceived because His sheep hear His voice, so never let down and forget that we have Jesus as our advocate with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Yes these misguided ministers are teaching a gospel that's not the gospel of Jesus and are leading people into a false repentance, false baptism, and to a false Messiah that brings a false salvation. This false Jesus is accepted everywhere because he is broad-minded in such a way that even Buddhists, Moslems, and Hindus can become saved and continue in their own religion. It's reported that one top ranking professing Christian minister stated, "When people faithfully follow after the idols and gods of their own cultures they already are saved and have "Jesus" within whether they know it or not." That is a very ecumenical statement brethren, This new Jesus is loved because he never condemns, is nonjudgmental, and accepts you just as you are without changing anything at all.
The true Jesus and the Holy Father will hold the ministers and teachers responsible for their teaching, but He will hold the Christian responsible if they have a lukewarm attitude accepting this false Messiah. The question is…do you want to do what God says? Or do you just want to believe what is easy and smooth? I ask again; as I have in many sermons…are you PLAYING Church, or are you serious about following the Lamb wherever He goes? Do you want real salvation or do you just want to "Think" you have salvation?

The truth is that if God would not in His love for us intervene in the future we would completely destroy ourselves from the face of the earth. Some may say that is a drastic and irresponsible statement, but if you think it through and continue listening, you will see my point. The ecumenical crowds advocate a very dangerous idea of integrating reason and faith, science and religion. They teach that we all should respect the teachings of all the prophets of ALL religions, and cultures. They want a worldwide society in unity, regardless of the many false gods that will be worshipped as a result. You see, Satan is the god that will slip into our lives when he succeeds in overwhelming this world with Unity-in-Diversity. This type of thinking really takes away our freedoms, while making us think we are gaining freedom. True freedom can only be enjoyed in unified harmony that comes from obeying the commands and doctrines God has set down for mankind. He is the creator and knows what we need to function with joy, love and peace. To allow all these mixed up religions in our lives will insure confusion and chaos comes out of confusion.
The true reason we were created and the way we can function correctly as a whole in harmony with the earth, and with each other, is to love, obey, and worship the creator God in heaven. That is what the Ten Commandments layout. To allow "Unity-in-Diversity" to convince us that we can do whatever we desire and we can just worship any god we please invites total confusion. This thinking allows baby's to be murdered in the womb, and schools to become places where our children learn how to become demoralized. Schools are now teaching homosexual behavior as an accepted way of life. It allows what is called, and accepted today as same sex unions. Deviant behavior can't be put down because that would get in the way of letting people be themselves. Your Ok, I'm Ok, is the menu our children are being fed and we can't even punish them for deviant behavior without fear of being taken to court!
With the "Unity-in-Diversity" kind of thinking we can't say the Pope should not be called the most Holy Father. If we say women should stay in the home so the family will remain strong, we are jumped on by the women's rights crowd. Already criminals have become the victims, and the true victims, and police have become the criminals. For the sake of unity they say sin is not sin, but just someone's personal ideas of behavior, and thay state that no one has the right to say what is right or what is wrong. When we bring up the point that truth is truth and all truth comes from God, they say, "What is truth?" When we show what truth is, they say, it's just our interpretation of the Bible, but the creator God says if someone changes the truth it becomes a lie and those that lie are of their father Satan the devil, not of God. Jesus stated that He came to bear witness of the truth and that anyone that is of the truth would hear His voice. His voice does not have many different interpretations, and those that truly seek Him will see the same truth. Will you hear His voice?
Unity in diversity considers witchcraft as just another religion that is good and acceptable if they claim to be white witches. Nature worship is their main theme and when we study into ancient religions such as witchcraft we find nature worship in the form of tree, and egg worship. The Yule log and fire is also a main form of nature worship in witchcraft. If you studied their books that go far past the birth of Jesus showing witches how to set up their pagan trees and color their sex eggs, you would never have anything to do with Christ-mass, or Easter because to do so is to accept witchcraft and Sun worship. Witches claim they are good and all the evil that has been attributed to them is false. But God is the one that stated that they were evil, so I guess they are saying God is lying!
If this world completely adopts this way of thinking we will soon be in a condition much worse than Sodom and Gomorrah. In fact we can read a scripture from the book of Timothy that describes our time and the days just ahead. It states…"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, un-loving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth."
The list of un-godliness in the above scripture have actually become "cool" to our young people the world over. There is only one way this type of attitude could sweep throughout the entire world and that is by irresponsible teaching, and people believing, we should be able to do whatever we want. That we should be able to worship God any way we want, and what ever we want to be true should be true, and the "Unity-in-Diversity" attitude does just that. No one wants to take responsibility for their actions, and no one wants to be the one to say sin is against God and man.
We have already seen that what comes from the Father in heaven is truth and is also doctrine. It's sound doctrine if it comes from God and to say otherwise is to say God is lying. The Gospel Jesus brought is from the Holy Father in Heaven and is also true doctrine. The purpose of Jesus' coming and sacrifice, Baptism, laying on of hands to receive the Holy Spirit, Jesus' teachings of the resurrection, the biblical teachings of healing, and the teaching concerning the Sabbath and the Ten Commandments are all commands from God and are true doctrine. We see that all Christians should hold fast to the true doctrines of God as recorded in Titus 1:7-9 Let's read it, It states…"For a bishop must be blameless, as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able, by sound doctrine, both to exhort and convict those who contradict." Notice that a minister should fast to sound doctrine.
Please take this to heart for the saving of your eternal reward in Christ as He has promised all those who will not reject Him. Unity comes when mankind obeys God the creator and does not accept man's doctrine for any reason. We must stay focused on true doctrine and be united with Christ and never forget that no matter how it is presented to us, diversity is just that, DIVIDED. Please understand that any organization that's encouraging universalism of government, economics, military, or religion, are involved in the formation of the coming Beast power. Those at the top want to remove God and sit on His throne because they are under the sway of Satan the devil. Brethren, the way we can tell if we are fellowshipping with the true people of God, is to look at how close any fellowship group is to the Beast systems teachings! The doctrinal gap between the true Church and the false is getting wider and will get even wider as time goes on. It will not make a difference what Church a person belongs to, or what their beliefs are, because in the very near future we all will either, have to change to the ONLY truth that comes from God the Father alone or we will have to take the side of those who are leading many people into this coming One World Religious System.
It will become very clear who the true people of God are before the Christ returns. Those who love the truth will have to give up this world and its universal religion for the true Christ. The true word of God is life giving and life sustaining because they are God breathed. All things that come from God are alive and are done by His Spirit, and always have a purpose that's coupled with the love of God. Jesus stated, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word of God." Without the words of God we could not have any basis for right or wrong. The words of God are the power of God and by them the earth and universe was made, and is sustained. It's by the command of God the universe operates in its precise orbits. It's by the command of God the seas stay within their shores. By God's spoken words the earth was flooded and His Word restored it. It was the spoken word of God that Moses spoke bringing the many plagues upon Egypt and it will be His Word that gives power to the two witnesses soon to come. It will be by the spoken word of Jesus, (Who is the word of God,) that we shall become Spirit born children in His Kingdom, and all those who deny the power of the word of God will not be there. There has always been and always will be negative results when man disobeys or disbelieves the Word of God.
Satan wants to keep us out of the Kingdom of God as well as prevent us from having a personal relationship with God our Father now, so he will deceive us in any way he can! Satan the devil knows if all mankind could understand and obey the true Word of God and His plan, then he would not be able to destroy or deceive. Many fail to remember that Satan has been around for thousands of years causing all the war and deception and there's no deception that has passed him by, no cunning attack he will not fail to use, no weakness of the flesh he will not tempt with, and he is hard at work today as many professing Christians are taking it easy listing to smooth sermons, singing songs and rocking back and forth. The reason God is allowing this Great Apostasy to sweep through the churches today is to test all of us to see if we truly love God, and if we will stand up for Jesus or will we deny Him either directly or by denying there's anything wrong without checking into it. If you will stand up for the truth you very likely will become like many who are now scattered with no church to attend. Do we love God and His truth to the point of giving up all for God and all He teaches, or will you compromise the truth.
Yes God is allowing this Apostasy to scatter the brethren so the wolves can't get them now and in the future when it reaches the point of prison and death. These trying times should cause us to exercise the Holy Spirit by allowing it to open our minds and lead us into all truth, but we don't need to become so paranoid that we are obsessed to the point that we are in fear of all we hear or read. Jesus taught that what's in the heart the mouth will speak, so if someone is working to deceive for a following or money, it will become very clear. Fear and obsession is of Satan and if we are staying close to God through Jesus His Son we have nothing to fear from Satan or those working to deceive. Jesus, the good shepherd, will not leave or forsake us and if we truly seek His truth and His will in prayer, and even fasting if necessary, we can't be deceived because His sheep hear His voice, so never let down and forget that we have Jesus as our advocate with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Yes these misguided ministers are teaching a gospel that's not the gospel of Jesus and are leading people into a false repentance, false baptism, and to a false Messiah that brings a false salvation. This false Jesus is accepted everywhere because he is broad-minded in such a way that even Buddhists, Moslems, and Hindus can become saved and continue in their own religion. It's reported that one top ranking professing Christian minister stated, "When people faithfully follow after the idols and gods of their own cultures they already are saved and have "Jesus" within whether they know it or not." That is a very ecumenical statement brethren, This new Jesus is loved because he never condemns, is nonjudgmental, and accepts you just as you are without changing anything at all.
The true Jesus and the Holy Father will hold the ministers and teachers responsible for their teaching, but He will hold the Christian responsible if they have a lukewarm attitude accepting this false Messiah. The question is…do you want to do what God says? Or do you just want to believe what is easy and smooth? I ask again; as I have in many sermons…are you PLAYING Church, or are you serious about following the Lamb wherever He goes? Do you want real salvation or do you just want to "Think" you have salvation?
