There is a tally known only to heaven of the many souls that perished from lack of knowledge.\u00a0 In spite of that tragic fact, people still rely heavily on other people to know what they should know.\u00a0 It\u2019s like they depend on human smoke alarms (spiritually speaking).\u00a0 If Satan comes snooping about, they expect the \u201calarms\u201d to go off.\u00a0 In the physical realm the alarm doesn’t sound because the batteries are dead or it has exceeded its lifespan.\u00a0 In the spiritual realm it is because of a several factors.\u00a0 Either the “alarms” are not armed with knowledge, or they have joined the enemy, or they are intimidated into silence.\u00a0 Whatever the case, the “alarms” are not sounding and people are walking head-on into deadly deception.<\/p>\n
Who else can warn them but people who are witnesses and and have\u00a0experienced the true fire? \u00a0Those faithful witnesses are often aged because the degradation of Christianity has been occurring for decades. \u00a0I perceive a full-orbed view of decaying Christianity because I have been witnessing the degradation for nearly four decades.\u00a0 It is a sad state of affairs.\u00a0 Individuals recently coming into Christianity believe that the decay is normal, thus the further decay is progress.\u00a0 They believe that the faithful witnesses are just old, traditional, set-in-their-ways Christians that hate change. \u00a0To some extent that may be true.\u00a0 However, this is not about the type of change that normally accompanies the passing of the torch from one generation to another.\u00a0 The fact is, the torch was dropped.\u00a0 Its flame has gone out.\u00a0 And a new generation deviated from divine order to pick up the strange fire of heresy.<\/p>\n
Most pastors are not equipped to warn them.\u00a0 There are diabolical operatives working on the people they were given charge to feed and protect.\u00a0 They see IF:Gathering, or Nines Conference, Bethel Music \u00a0(or some other Bethel extension), plus a full on assault of numerous \u2018teleheretics,\u201d but they truly don’t know what they are looking at.\u00a0 They are witnessing people being led down the primrose path to bondage and think, “Wow, they’re really having a great time!”\u00a0 The ramifications of this anomaly is a great apostasy swelling with innumerable professing Christians that ought to have known better.<\/p>\n
But they don’t know.\u00a0 They are ignorant because the emphasis today is on the temporal realm and how “self” can enjoy it to the fullest with maximum comfort.\u00a0 And I’m not saying that a pastor should carp about everything that is attacking Christianity.\u00a0 If he warned the people about everything, he have no time to preach and teach the milk and meat of God’s word.\u00a0 But he has to know certain things, and most importantly, he must equip and prepare people to recognize evil disguised as good.<\/p>\n
In the cases of IF:Gathering and Nines Conferences, they are operating covertly by the use of technology.\u00a0 Sailing under the radar, and as internal parasites, they are infesting groups \u00a0within the local church via the internet and spreading out into local communities.\u00a0 Most pastors are unaware of their presence.\u00a0 When they have lured a significant number into their deception, the local churches will be too infiltrated to survive.\u00a0 The numerical value will still be strong and may even increase, but any opportunity for distributing truth will be lost.<\/p>\n
This is a dark period.\u00a0 It is not business as usual.\u00a0 Any pastor that believes that as long as people are attending, are involved, and the Sunday morning meeting is interesting, all\u2019s well, he is mistaken.\u00a0 No matter what church, what town or city, denomination or independent, how well it is thriving numerically and financially, every church in this nation is being infested by powerful and dangerous heresy.\u00a0 If leaders do not wake up and begin educating and equipping their congregants, one day they will stand in the pulpit and minister the Gospel as usual, and they next day they will be dismissed and replaced. Don\u2019t think so?\u00a0 It has already happened.<\/p>\n
Truth is not tolerated by the swarm of heretics and their beguiled followers.\u00a0 Deceived\u00a0professing Christians are rejecting the alarms. \u00a0Do pastors believe that after a significant number of people in a congregation has ingested popular heresy they will not have to \u201cadapt\u201d to remain in their positions?\u00a0 \u201cAdapt\u201d means compromise; to find a happy medium, agree to disagree, to mix light with darkness. \u00a0Thus, some pastors have already morphed from light bearers to shadow makers.\u00a0 They\u2019ve managed to keep their positions and income, but at what expense.\u00a0 Now they must either walk on eggshells when they preach, or throw all caution to the wind and placate the apostasy. \u00a0They must make up their minds, and defend their decision with the fortitude of the Holy Spirit\u2019s anointing, that they are going to speak and defend truth while exposing darkness.\u00a0 The choice is clear; be a bearer of light, or a shadow maker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
