A letter written by an anonymous Prophet.
~ This letter could have been written by
any born again Christian concerning churches he or she has attended.
The writer gently and lovingly, but clearly, gives numerous examples of
what happens when Christians fail to obey God, and fail to listen to, and
be led by, the Holy Sprit.

our lives, and how to direct our steps, if we will but listen to, and
be led by, the Holy Spirit.
Those who do listen to,
and follow the lead of, the Holy Spirit, find harmony
and joy in their relationships with each other, whether
it be fellowshipping with other Christians, or husbands
and wives and families spending time together. The
Holy Spirit teaches us all things: the plan for our life, our harmony,
joy, and happiness.
All we each have to do is listen to,
and be led by, the Holy Spirit.
For as many as are led by the [Holy]
Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
(Rom 8:14)

us with tremendous insight and understanding of what it means
to be a true born again Christian, regardless of the obstacles we
may face.

The
Words of a Concerned Prophet
An Open Letter from an Anonymous Friend
of Torah Teacher Ariel
Dear Pastor (Name withheld),
[ Introduction
[ Confessing my sins, disobeying God ]
]
Your newsletter was accompanied
by a request for stories of apostate churches.
The sermon was about obeying God by receiving freedom from besetting (habitual)
sins. Yet many ministries have failed due to one
particular besetting sin: they will not obey the Holy
Ghost!! (Luke 6:46)
Refusing to yield to the Holy Ghost is what causes apostasy.
Before I detail
the abuse I suffered from church leaders, elders and members; I will confess
my sin.
A man in my workplace harassed me daily
for years trying to get me fired. He made crank phone calls to my
home. He lied about me turning acquaintances and co-workers against
me. I prayed God remove him from the job. God told me,
"Do not pray for vengeance; revenge is the Lord's." (Romans
12:19, I Timothy 2:1-6, Matthew
5:44-46) I did it anyway. The man had a nervous
breakdown, fought with his superiors, and was fired.
The Lord said, "Because you disobeyed
My direct command, Satan now has an open door to your
life. (Romans 6:13-14, I
Corinthians 5:1-5, John 5:14)
Adam let Satan loose in the world by disobeying God. (Romans
5:14-19, Hebrews 2:14-15) Whoever
you yield your members to obey, he becomes your master (dominates you).
(Romans 6:16-18) Sin snowballs.
"The day will come when you will deliberately
disobey another command, thinking you can get away with it. Satan
will immediately attack! When he does; don't blame God!!
Satan is the attacker, and you allowed his attack to succeed
by being disobedient!
"I [the Lord] cannot protect
you if you will not obey. (Amos
3:3)
"When Moses decided he would deliver the
Israelites out of Egyptian bondage, he ended up in the flesh. (Galatians
3:1-3, I Timothy 4:8) He killed
an Egyptian and spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness. When
I decided to use Moses and Moses submitted to My will,
he did great miracles. (Numbers 12:3)
Therefore, remember this: Good and evil CANNOT agree! (II
Corinthians 6:14-18)
"If you will do evil; I cannot protect
you. I would be putting my stamp of approval on evil. So repent
quickly, or suffer the consequences. (Isaiah
1:10-20)
"The principle here is simple: I
[the Lord] do miracles to empower you to do My
will, NOT your own will. (Isaiah
58:4-11)
"You have a blue book on your middle bookshelf.
I want you to read it every day for seven days."
I found the book, How
to Survive an Attack
by Roberts Lairdon. The very first line was, "Don't blame God."
Brother Lairdon listed many scriptures that reveal how disobedience
to God gives Satan the power to attack us.
On the seventh day God told me, "Don't
go outside." I reasoned (Proverbs
3:5) there was no danger, [then I] slipped on the icy
steps and broke my arm. The Lord said, "I told you so.
Now obey Me."
Brother (Name withheld), this is why the churches
are so powerless. We will not obey God. I have
seen it in church after church after church. The leaders will
not obey God. The elders will not obey God. The
members will not obey nor dare speak what the Spirit
of the Lord is saying. Only the prophets will, and
the leadership responds by throwing them out. (Acts
7:51-53) These churches start out in the Spirit, but shipwreck
in the flesh. (Galatians 3:3)
Here are only a few stories. [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy. ]
1.
The Pentecostal Church [ Pastor's disobedience
will snowball him into Hell ]
This [particular Old-Holiness Pentecostal]
church was very spiritual at first. People were healed
often, and words of prophecy by the leaders always
came to pass. (Mark 16:15-20)
Then the church began to build a new building.
God commanded me to tell the pastor not
to allow any crosses (crucifix symbols) in the church.
I asked, "Why are crosses bad?" God said, "Crosses are not
bad. Whether or not the pastor has crucifixes in the church is irrelevant.
The point is: Will the pastor seek God to find
God's way, or just do things ASSUMING 'that's how we always did it
in the past?' (Matthew 7:21-27)
The pastor is off on HIS OWN WILL and has not once
earnestly sought Me (GOD) for directions on how to build
and run the church. He will limit the flow
of My Spirit if he does not repent. Disobedience snowballs.
"Eventually he'll continue to disobey,
not even realizing it, until the church dries up and becomes a dead work.
He will end up totally out of God's will."
I wouldn't tell the pastor at first.
Why be labeled a trouble maker? But God kept demanding I speak up.
I finally did to keep peace with God. The pastor and his staff
thought I was nuts and said so.
Several months later God spoke to me again,
"It is My will (the same) pastor
leave [the position of head pastor in] the church, promote his assistant
pastor to head pastor and [have the pastor] go back to being general
overseer." I told the pastoral staff, and they angrily denounced
me as a false prophet. "He can't do that!!" they cried. "He was overseer
once, and the church constitution FORBIDS anyone hold that position twice.
This certainly proves you are a false prophet!!"
God spoke again, "The church board will
convene a constitutional convention. They will repeal that rule so
the pastor can be general overseer again.
They will offer the position to him first. It is My (God's) doing.
He will turn it down. He will then be out of My will. He will
never really get back in My will for the rest of his life. His disobedience
will snowball and snowball. He will get so far from Me, when he dies,
HE'LL SPEND ETERNITY IN HELL!!"
Later, the pastor announced: a) The
general overbody had just held a constitutional convention. b) They
had unanimously repealed the rule limiting the overseer to one term.
They praised the pastor's excellent prior service in that office, and desperately
wanted him back. He was the first one offered the position.
d) The pastor announced he turned them down.
I watched as the church died spiritually.
Even though it was an "Old-Holiness Pentecostal
Church" more and more the pastor put blatant homosexuals,
adulterers and drug addicts in positions of authority.
Anyone who walked in the Spirit or had a Word from God
was harshly treated and asked to leave. The pastor praised
and promoted the most wicked people purely on the basis of
how much money they gave. (Titus
1:11, I Peter 5:2-3, II
Peter 2:12-15) Almost every visiting minister (such as Jerry
B. Walker, Ed Defresne and Lester Sumerall) prophesied the Lord
had revealed this church's leadership was full of sex,
money, alcohol and drug sin. The pastor would
rebuke them privately, but harshly. He retaliated by accusing them
of "being of the devil." It was common for this pastor to offer
visiting ministers money to come preach and later refuse to pay.
It would take pages for me to detail the abuse
I suffered at this administrative staff's hands. At one point two
elders saw me on the highway and tried to force me off the road with their
car. I saw them laughing hysterically as they drove off.
The pastor in this story is VERY famous.
Ed Cole, Kenneth Copeland, Lester Sumerall and many famous preachers have
attended his conferences and been his close friends. [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy. ]
2.
The Judgment Confirmation [ Pastor drops dead
in the pulpit ]
God always confirms His Word.
Once God told me,
"Many of these pastors are not
living right. Some will actually drop dead in the pulpit
under God's judgment."
A few weeks later I attended a local church.
The pastor introduced the lead speaker, "And now, the famous Reverend…"
The man stood to his feet, brushed off his suit, took one step forward
– and dropped dead!
I prayed, "Lord, if You tell
me to, I can raise him from the dead."
I have personally raised two people from
the dead – because GOD told me to
– so I wasn't just whistling Dixie.
God said, "NO!! Don't you
dare pray it. You don't know the SIN in that man's life.
I gave him ample time to repent, and he would not. Now he is standing
before My Throne giving an account of his life before an ANGRY GOD.
You leave it alone!!"
The attending physician could not figure out
why he was dead. The doctor said, "The man should get up off the
table and walk. He is the most perfectly healthy dead man
I have ever seen!" [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy. ]
3.
"They Don't Know Me…" [ Calling
the Holy Spirit as a Witness ]
I left the Pentecostal church. Two
elders (who were committing adultery – one was married) followed me to
my new church.
God told me to take it to the leadership.
(Matthew 18:15-17) I told God if
that was His Will, have the pastor preach in that very verse on Sunday.
The pastor did. I told God, have him preach on it TWO SUNDAYS IN
A ROW, and I'll do it. The pastor did the second Sunday.
So I went to the elders.
They brushed me off as a crackpot.
God said, "Go back, but THIS TIME ask
My Holy Spirit to be your Witness." (John
5:30-32)
But again they refused to talk
to me.
I asked, "How can you hear accusations
against a brother, and not call for witnesses?
(I Timothy 5:19)
I ask God's Holy Ghost to be my Witness!!
Have you even bothered to pray about it? Have you sought God?
Would He lie to you?
I request His Witness on this matter!!"
Immediately the Holy Ghost filled the room like a white
cloud. The leaders panicked. They didn't have the tiniest
clue what was going on.
You'd know this pastor if I mentioned his
name, he is very famous.
I stormed out of the church, vowing never
to go there again. God said, "Why are you so angry?"
"I have only known You [God] 18 months."
I replied, "But I know more than these leaders who claim to have known
You for 30 years! Why, they don't know you AT ALL!!"
God shouted in my ear: "THAT'S WHAT
I AM TRYING TO SHOW YOU; THEY DON'T KNOW ME!!
THEY DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL!!
"They had better learn to know
Me, for Jesus said it is absolutely essential to escape
Hell!!"
Matthew 7:13-23
(Jesus speaking) "Enter ye in at the strait gate: (Jesus
said He is the gate – John 10:9
– But the gate to what? Being born again? More than that, the
entrance to fellowshipping with the Father – John
14:20-23) for wide is the gate, and broad is the way,
that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
Matthew 7:14: Because strait is
the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life,
and few there be that find it.
Matthew 7:15:
Beware of false prophets, (religious people – not atheists) which
come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16: Ye shall know them by their
fruits."
Galatians
5:19-24 lists the good and evil fruits.
Good [fruits]: Love, Joy,
Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness,
Goodness, Faith,
Meekness, Temperance (self control).
Evil [fruits]: Adultery, Fornication,
Uncleanness, Lasciviousness (no self control, addictive behavior),
Idolatry, Witchcraft, Hatred, Variance
(always taking sides against people),
Emulations (obsession with worldly
success),
Wrath, Strife, Seditions (encouraging
people to form rebellious groups),
Heresies, Envyings, Murders, Drunkenness,
and "such like."
[Matthew 7:16
continues] "Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17: Even so every good tree
bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18: A good tree cannot bring
forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19: Every tree that bringeth not
forth good fruit is hewn down, AND CAST INTO THE FIRE.
20: Wherefore by their fruits
ye shall know them.
Matthew 7:21:
Not everyone that says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' shall enter into the
Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which
is in Heaven. 22: Many shall
say to Me in that day, 'Lord, Lord, have not we prophesied in Thy
Name? and in Thy Name have cast out devils? and in Thy
Name done many wonderful works?'
(Note: Atheists don't do
miracles in Jesus' Name, religious people do!
These scriptures are warnings to
CHRISTIANS! Jesus is talking about us,
not "them.")
23:
And then will I profess unto them, 'I NEVER KNEW YOU: DEPART FROM
ME, YE THAT WORK INIQUITY (INJUSTICE, CRIMINAL ACTS).'"
Depart from Him to go where? Matthew
25:41 leaves no room for doubt:
"Then shall He say also unto them on the left
hand, 'Depart from you, you cursed, INTO EVERLASTING FIRE
[ Hell ], PREPARED FOR THE DEVIL AND HIS ANGELS:'" [

4.
Testing The Spirits [ Before you give him the ring ]
At one service, the speaker knew things
about people supernaturally. He demanded their money, telling
them exactly how much they carried. People eagerly ran to the stage
to obey. He had never met me before but described my class ring,
even the graduation date and school name. He said God commanded I
give him the ring.
Immediately the man said, "The person with
the ring thinks God is telling him not to give it, but that is an evil
spirit! Don't grieve the Spirit of God!"
God said, "Don't give him
the ring!!" I kept my ring.
Later, I prayed and God told me, "Exhortation,
edification and comfort." (I
Corinthians 14:3)
"But he that prophesieth speaketh unto
men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh
in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth
the church." (I
Corinthians 14:3-4)
God told me,
"'Exhortation' means to cause men
to draw nigh to God, to bring conviction.
'Edification' means to strengthen,
build up, heal or empower.
'Comfort' is self-explanatory (To
bring relief, healing, peace).
Did that man say ANYTHING that
brought conviction towards God, encouragement, or peace? Did he tell
you ANYTHING about what belongs to you in Christ Jesus, who you
are in Christ Jesus, or what you have in Christ Jesus? Did he talk
about Jesus AT ALL?" (John 16:13-14)
I said, "No, all he ever said was, 'Give me
money!'"
God replied, "Then YOU tell ME if what
he preached was of God or not!"
I said, "Based on the Bible, which Jesus said
cannot fail, (Matthew 5:18) that
he did not."
Sadly, that church thought he was the most
spiritual person they had ever heard. They had not learned
to test the spirits. (I
John 4:1-3) [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy. ]
5.
The Famous Preacher [ while
apostate, fame grows; repents, then excommunicated ]
Several people attempted to proselytize
me as a disciple of a famous preacher. God told me not have anything
to do with his ministry, because he was not living right.
God told me, "Do not tell ANYONE what I have said. NO ONE
will believe you, and you will be harassed by the church like never
before."
One lady was seriously determined to make
me this man's disciple.
I shot my big mouth off proclaiming
this man was not living right. For a whole year I could
not attend church, any church, any denomination.
Even if I attended a strange church in
another town, total strangers would come up to me shouting, "I heard what
you said about Reverend… YOU'RE A FALSE PROPHET!! He's a man of
God if ever there was one!!" The leaders would ask if
I really thought the famous preacher was apostate. When I
affirmed what God had told me, they'd ask me to leave.
The national media exposed the famous
preacher a year later. God told me, "Crocodile tears –
he will fake repentance for a season." He did. The church
embraced him. Months later God told me, "TONIGHT Reverend… has GENUINELY
repented. Be VERY careful from this day forth what you say about
him for his name has been re-written in the Lamb's Book
of Life. He is MINE now." The VERY NEXT DAY
his church excommunicated him.
When he played games and lived
a lie, the church embraced him. When he genuinely repented,
they threw him out. They lusted after his fame,
but they did not want him if he really had
the Spirit of the Living God.
The Spirit of God commanded
me to write, "BE WARNED: THIS IS HOW
IT WILL BE WHEN THE ANTICHRIST COMES. IF YOU DO NOT
DEVELOP DISCERNMENT NOW, YOU WILL BE TAKEN IN EVEN AS THESE
RELIGIOUS PEOPLE WERE. DON'T TRUST IN YOUR OWN INTELLECT
AS THESE PEOPLE DID, YOU WILL BE FOOLED!! (John
5:43-44)
"DON'T TRUST IN FAMOUS PREACHERS, GREAT
PERSONALITIES, AS THESE PEOPLE DID. YOU WILL BE FOOLED.
BUT LOOK TO THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND
HE WILL DELIVER YOU. I GAVE YOU THE HOLY GHOST
TO BE YOUR GUIDE, YOUR MENTOR. I SET TEACHERS IN THE
CHURCH TO TEACH YOU TO KNOW ME!! TO KNOW ME!!
ANYONE WHO TURNS YOU ON TO HIMSELF IS A FALSE PROPHET
NO MATTER HOW ACCURATELY THEY TEACH THE REST OF THE WORD OF GOD.
THE ACID TEST IS WHETHER OR NOT THEY TURN YOU BACK TO
SERVE THE LIVING GOD. FOR MANY MEN HAVE
SAID, 'YOU CANNOT SERVE GOD UNLESS YOU FOLLOW ME, OR DO
IT MY WAY.' MANY HAVE BELIEVED THAT IN THEIR HEARTS, EVEN IF
THEY DARE NOT SAY IT OUT LOUD.
"THE SIGN IS THAT THEY ARE CONVINCED
YOU CANNOT BE SERVING GOD UNLESS YOU GET BEHIND 'THEIR' PROGRAM.
EVEN IF I, GOD, DID GIVE THEM A PROGRAM, IT IS NOT
THEIR PLACE TO DECIDE WHO WILL BE ON THE TEAM. IT IS
MY PLACE, AND MINE ALONE SAYETH THE LORD THY GOD."

6.
The True Prophet [ Seek
and Obey God for yourself ]
God spoke concerning the assistant pastor
in one church, "Whatever this man tells you to do, DO IT!!"
I told the assistant pastor, "I must do
whatever you say, for God Himself spoke to me, saying, 'Whatever this man
tells you to do, DO IT!!'" The assistant pastor said, "Why are you
bothering me: seek God."
A second time, God repeated His command,
"Go back and tell him, I, GOD, told you, 'Whatever this man
tells you to do, DO IT!!'"
Again the man replied, "WHY are you BOTHERING
me? SEEK GOD FOR YOURSELF!!"
A third time, God repeated His demand,
"I told you, 'Whatsoever this man tells you to do, DO IT!!'"
So I told the man, "I must obey you, for
GOD HIMSELF said, 'Whatsoever this man tells you to do, DO IT!!'"
He replied, "Why aren't you listening? Leave me alone, SEEK
AND OBEY GOD for yourself!!"
So I told the Lord, "Three times I have
sought to obey this man, but three times he has told me, 'Leave me alone,
seek and obey God for yourself.'"
God replied, "Then WHY aren't you DOING
IT? This man is a TRUE PROPHET, for he has told you repeatedly,
'Seek God for yourself.' Yet you have continually sought him
to be your leader and your guide. But he guided
you back to Me, the Living God.
"Truly I say to you, ANYONE who teaches
people to seek after prophets, churches, religious
movements, MEN, is a FALSE PROPHET. Each and every
child of God is to know Me for themselves. Only THE
HOLY GHOST is to be your master and guide.
"ANYONE WHO TRIES TO OVERRIDE
THE HOLY GHOST IN YOUR LIFE IS PLAYING GOD. HE IS ANTICHRIST!!
HE IS PLAYING GOD, SETTING HIMSELF UP AS THE MOUTH PIECE OF GOD, OR GOD
HIMSELF IN YOUR LIFE. THIS IS THE SPIRIT OF SATAN.
"NO TRUE PROPHET WILL PROPHESY EXCEPT
HE SAYS, 'BUT IF THE SPIRIT OF GOD SAYS OTHER THAN WHAT I
HAVE SAID, BELIEVE HIM, NOT ME!!'
"Ministers become obsessed with
fulfilling My Plan. But they can't!! Only GOD can fulfill
God's Plan. But they become obsessed with fulfilling My Plan anyway.
"The Apostle Paul made several mistakes
in his life because shouldered the responsibility of trying
to make My Plan come to pass, as did Moses. (I
Peter 5:7)
Paul was determined to bring salvation
to the Jews when I told him not to. (Acts
22:17-21)
You cannot fulfill God's plan.
Jesus has done it all, and ALL I require is
that you SUBMIT to Him by submitting to the HOLY GHOST.
(John 16:13-15, I
John 2:27)
THEN everything else will
work out. But if you take it on yourself to save the world
(My Plan) you WILL fail. You cannot do it. Jesus already has.
(John 17:4, John
19:30, Ephesians 1:4, Hebrews
4:3)
All I ask is that you submit to the
Holy Ghost and let ME work it all out THROUGH YOU.
So obey; whatever THE HOLY GHOST tells you, DO
IT. Let GOD be responsible for whether or not it bears fruit.
(I Corinthians 3:6)."
This has been the central focus of
my conflict with religion. They want me to obey
man, and men want to obey the leaders. God
told me to do neither, but to obey THE HOLY GHOST.
The church will NEVER see the miracles the Apostles did unless
we start to obey the Holy Ghost. [

One Preacher Obeys the Holy Ghost – For a While…
[ do it HIS way ]
I went to [a] small rural church.
Attendance was zero. God told me attend church on Saturdays
and spend all day in prayer. For several weeks we did.
A few people began to show up. Several got saved.
Some said they were just walking by the
church and suddenly, they KNEW they were going to Hell, and desperately
needed to get saved. One Saturday, a homosexual man
came in the church BEGGING us to show him how to get saved.
He was gripped with a horrible revelation he was hell-bound.
The pastor worried excessively about
money. God told me that He would work it out
IF WE FOLLOWED GOD'S PLAN. An elderly man came to the church
declaring, "I haven't seen the Spirit of God move so in the church since
1947!" The elderly man revealed he would throw all his financial
support behind the pastor. We didn't think much of it – until he
revealed he was one of the wealthiest men in the world.
He owned an international construction agency worth BILLIONS (NOT
MILLIONS).
God WILL provide – IF we do it HIS
way!! The gay man that got saved turned out to
be the wealthy man's grandson!! They had had no contact in
TEN YEARS!! Neither knew if the other was alive or dead!! God
WILL do miracles IF we do it HIS way!!
[Vision # 1] Then I had a vision.
I saw the pastor ministering all over the world. I saw him
as an international figure, bringing millions to Christ.
[Vision # 2] Then I saw him being
petty, irrational and concerned with glory. I saw him
resisting the Holy Ghost, arguing irrationally about petty
doctrine, exalting himself and throwing out anointed people for
he had a spirit of jealousy. I saw his church die out.
God told me, "Vision # 1 is
My Will for his life. Vision # 2 is what will actually
happen." Vision # 2 actually happened. The pastor's first
move was to ban prayer meetings. His church slowly died.
Attendance fell back to zero. [

8.
Another True Prophet [ God IS the Anointing,
and EVERY believer has Him ]
I once prayed to visit Kenneth
E. Hagin's church. God said, "No." I prayed Kenneth
E. Hagin [would] come visit my area. God said, "No." I argued
with the Lord. Finally He said, "A few miles past BWI on Route 410
there is a school. In March of next year you can see Brother Hagin
there. But I'd prefer you not go."
March came and Brother Hagin indeed held
services there.
I disobeyed God and went.
I still did not understand I had to seek God and not men.
I thought, "Brother Hagin is supposed to be SO ANOINTED!! Wow!!
I want to see that."
At the meeting, the Holy Ghost
came upon Brother Hagin and moved across the crowd
like a white cloud.
Suddenly Jesus stood next to me.
[ For where two or three are gathered together in my [Jesus'] name, there
am I [Jesus] in the midst of them. (Mat
18:20) ]
I was severely disappointed. He [Jesus]
laughed, "What's with you?"
I replied, "I thought Brother Hagin
had this great anointing. Why, it's just You [Jesus]!
I see this praying privately in my own bedroom!" Jesus
laughed like that was the funniest thing He ever heard.
[ Jesus speaking:] "That's the whole
point: I AM THE ANOINTING! You
had ME all along; EVERY BELIEVER DOES!! You don't
have to seek after famous preachers to get it."
The next night, Brother Hagin announced, "I
had a whole sermon worked up, but last night God told me to put
it aside and preach on something else. So the title of my NEW sermon
is, 'God IS the Anointing, and EVERY believer has Him.'"

An Old Prophet Remembers [ in
the old days, My Spirit would fill churches ]
So I kept Holy Ghost prayer meetings
in my own home. God gave me lists of people
to invite. Very rarely did anyone attend.
The Spirit of God would fill the place like a white cloud.
People repeatedly saw my apartment and the floor below filled with
white smoke. They'd ask if I was smoking, burning food or
incense. But no one would attend.
God told me, "Because you are not someone
famous, they are not interested. Too bad they don't
want Jesus Christ as much as they want famous preachers.
For it is My Spirit they SHOULD be seeking, and not
men.
"Listen, in the old days -- the 1940's
and before -- My Spirit would fill churches like this.
The old folk know. Your parents have heard stories. Your generation
knows nothing of it at all. People would get physically healed
just walking by the church. People would come under such conviction
the hardest sinners would RUN into the church PLEADING
for God to save them. If you don't believe Me, ask
the old folk."
One woman I know has known God since the
1930's, so I asked her. She said, "It's all true. When
I was a little girl, we'd all just wait upon the Lord.
The white cloud would fill the whole church and spill
into the street. You would get healed just sitting
in the pew. People would rush into the church crying out to
God, 'Oh, God, I am going to Hell! PLEASE save me!'
Not just once in a while, but every Sunday.
See, folk FEARED AND OBEYED God back then. You young
folks know nothing about it."
Brother (Name withheld), MANY
the time I have been in church and sensed the Holy Ghost wanted us to
sit still and know He is God. (Psalms
46:10) But the pastor would always get nervous and direct
attention to himself.
God told me, "What's wrong with you Americans?
You think you ALWAYS have to be DOING something.
Why can't you just be still and know I am God? Being
still forces you to quiet your mind, quiet your flesh, and FOCUS
on the still small voice (I
Kings 19:12) that is the Spirit of God. You will keep
yourself out of all kinds of trouble if you would only LEARN to listen
to My Spirit. Churches would revive and see
miracles and great deliverance if they would ONLY just learn
to listen to, wait on and OBEY My Spirit, sayeth
the Lord.
"But they are too hung up on programs,
schedules and plans. They are too hung up on their
own plans to follow MY plans. You will NEVER
see the miracles and deliverance you seek UNTIL you
submit to MY plans, purposes and goals.
"Now go to the bookstore on Route 410 by NH
Avenue and look in the very back bottom shelf on the East side. There
is a book there you need to read."
I did, and I found a book by Kenneth E.
Hagin entitled: Plans, Purposes, and Pursuits. Brother
Hagin detailed scripture after scripture that revealed God will ONLY
do miracles to empower you to do HIS will, NOT your own
will. So we'd better seek HIS will, and not our own.
This is the problem in America
today. The leaders WILL NOT take the time to
find GOD'S WILL for their lives, churches, and programs.
They do it all in the flesh, and it produces corruption. (Galatians
6:7-8) [

Scattering Abroad and Ichabod [ pastors
demand: seek and obey
the leadership ]
I attended a church that met in an old
theatre. The Spirit of God moved powerfully at first.
The Lord would give me the pastor's sermon on Wednesday night. If
I missed church, I'd ask, "What did the pastor say?" People would
say, "Oh, the same thing you have been saying all week."
God revealed the leadership was
slowly drifting into their own will, ignoring Him.
I had a vision the church
was the Titanic. I was running around screaming, "We need
to change course!" Everyone had on their Sunday finest, sound asleep.
If I managed to wake someone up, they responded by cursing and attacking
me, and going back to sleep. Eventually, some woke up just as we
hit the iceberg. God showed me it was too little, too late.
The majority never woke up and went down with the ship.
More and more the pastors demanded
people seek the leadership for everything. If you got
married, and the pastors did not approve the marriage, you were
excommunicated. If you bought a house, and the pastors
did not approve the buy, you were excommunicated.
They preached from the pulpit, "You have
to obey leadership. If God Himself tells you
to do something, but the leadership says otherwise, you have
to obey leadership. It is God's plan church leadership have
more authority even than the Holy Ghost."
God told me 66% of the marriages
the pastors approved were DIRECTLY AGAINST GOD'S WILL.
Occasionally, God had me speak a Word to
someone. They usually responded by ranting that was against everything
the church taught. Soon I was told by the assistant pastor, "I know
who you are. You are not going to cause trouble in this church."
God told me to continue attending. Every sermon, the pastors talked
about something God had led me to say or do. They continually held
me up as an example [of] "Satanism."
One service, God told me, "Go into
the mens' room and stay there until I say so." God revealed
the assistant pastor was on full rant, "prophesying" all the "evil" I "caused"
and threatened to call me by name if I didn't leave. Everything God
told me the assistant pastor said friends later confirmed word for word.
When God had me return to the main sanctuary the "prophecy"
was just ending. Every eye turned toward me. Everyone
realized God isn't stupid enough to prophesy at length to
someone who isn't there!!
The assistant pastor had a car accident.
God told me it was because he kept harassing me for trying to obey God.
One day, as the pastor was preaching,
I saw Jesus appear next to her on stage. [ For
where two or three are gathered together in my [Jesus'] name, there am
I [Jesus] in the midst of them. (Mat
18:20) ] He [Jesus] reached for the microphone. She ran
to the other end of the stage. Jesus followed her and asked for the
microphone. She ran to other end of the stage. He followed
her, but she just kept ignoring Him and running away. Then Jesus
stepped down from the stage, walked up the aisle and out
of the church. I got up immediately and followed.
Others later testified at the exact moment
I got up to leave, they felt a wind blow, and knew beyond
a shadow of a doubt the Holy Ghost had left. Many never
went back. That night I had a vision of the leaders throwing me out.
Then they threw Jesus out. He got
up, dusted Himself off, and went up the street. I followed Him.
He called that church "Scattering Abroad" (Matthew
12:30) and said they had surrendered to the devil and
the flesh. I saw an angel nail a sign over their door: "Ichabod".
Jesus said it meant: "The Spirit of the Lord has departed."
(I Samuel 4:21) "What could I do?,"
Jesus asked. "They just wouldn't submit to My
Spirit. I didn't abandon them, they abandoned Me.
'Scattering Abroad' will become a dancing devil pit. I will
split the church six ways. They will never fulfill My Will.
Your service there has ended. Do not go back."
Three years later I met a woman who had
recently attended "Scattering Abroad." Not revealing I once attended,
I asked what she thought. "All they cared about was dancing.
Dancing every service, dancing in the aisles, dancing during the preaching.
The pastor would dance as she preached. But you could just FEEL
the power of Satan in that place. I beat it out of
there in a hurry!! You couldn't pay me enough to go back."

Satanists in Leadership Roles [ church
of Satan gives them money
for the pastor ]
I attended an inner city church.
God revealed the assistant pastor and a woman on the control
board attended the church of Satan. I asked if
I should tell the pastor. God replied, "The pastor already knows.
The church of Satan gives them money every week for
the pastor. The pastor pretends she doesn't know, so determined
is she to get the money. To prove it, I will cause the woman
on the control board to confess and repent before
the whole church." Three weeks later, the Spirit of God fell on the
church in a powerful way. This woman wept and confessed her
involvement in witchcraft before everyone.
The pastor, seeing her finances cut off,
began to harass me. The other witch [the assistant pastor] kept trying
to give me "prayer clothes". God said, "Don't accept them nor take
off your coat during services. Keep all personal articles in your
sight. They'll steal your personal possessions to conduct
witchcraft."
One day, the witch appeared as
a spirit being and began to choke me. God rose
up and allowed me to live without oxygen. So I ignored her.
She grew ever more embarrassed as the clock ticked off over 35 minutes
and I didn't die or pass out. Frustrated, she left. The Spirit
of God left that church.
Later I attended a multi-church conference.
This church showed up. They disrupted the service with wild
shouting and stomping on the floor.
I could actually feel the presence
of evil spirits around them. Yet NO ONE rebuked them.
The other ministers applauded her church's enthusiasm.

12.
Ministers' Only Conferences [ an abomination: separating as
a group from the flock ]
I met a woman studying to be a minister.
She attended a "Ministers' Only Conference." God said, "Ministers
do have special issues to deal with.
"But it is an abomination for ministers
to separate themselves as a group from the flock. Everyone
needs to seek time alone with God; but not as a separate
class or group. God will not give any general
Word to ministers He won't give the laity."
(II Peter 1:20.)
She agreed I had heard God. She told
me the "Ministers' Only Conference" was one big drunken orgy complete with
illegal drugs and booze. Several male ministers repeatedly pressed
her for sex. The main topic of conversation was how stupid
the flock was to give away all their money. One minister
bragged he conned a woman into giving him her 300 year old pearl necklace.
Another boasted he conned an elderly woman out of her 250 year old ruby
ring. Both laughed that people could be so stupid. [

13. Summing up the stories
of apostate churches above
]
Brother (Name withheld), the church
in America is playing God in peoples' lives. These
stories are the NORM, NOT THE EXCEPTION!! This
is the Spirit of Antichrist. God told me the ministers of
America have committed a "conspiracy of silence" against
the Lord's Flock. Read Ezekiel
Chapter 34. They continually press people to attend
church, pay tithes, submit to leadership, YET REFUSE
TO HOLD THE LEADERS ACCOUNTABLE!!
Many ministers put NO effort into living a godly life. Jesus said,
"The scribes (teachers of the Mosaic Law) and the Pharisees (preachers)
sit in Moses' seat: all therefore whatsoever they bid you observe,
that observe and do; BUT DO NOT YE AFTER THEIR WORKS:
FOR THEY SAY, AND DO NOT." (Matthew
23:2-4) True Christians (and ministers) DO God's Word,
not just teach it. (James 1:22)
Any minister who won't DO the Word is Antichrist.
IT IS NOT THE DUTY
OF ANY CHRISTIAN TO ATTEND, SUBMIT TO,
OR PAY TITHES AT ANY DEMON OR FLESH CONTROLLED
CHURCH WHERE THE LEADERS RESIST THE HOLY GHOST!!
GOD HAS BEEN CALLING THE LEADERS TO PREACH THIS FROM
THE PULPIT, BUT THEY WON'T. THEY HAVE PROSTITUTED THEIR SOULS
TO SATAN'S ORGANIZED RELIGION. THEY ARE AFRAID TO TRUST
IN GOD'S POWER ALONE, FOR THIS WOULD MEAN LOSING THE CHURCH'S WORLDLY
POLITICAL POWER AND INFLUENCE. (HEBREWS
11:24-27)
IT IS THE SOLEMN DUTY OF EVERY
CHRISTIAN TO OBEY THE HOLY GHOST ALONE
– AND IF THAT MEANS EXCOMMUNICATION FROM THE CHURCH – HEY, IT BEATS GOING
TO HELL!!

[
14. For men shall
be despisers of those
that are good ]
[ in the last days perilous times
shall come ]
By continually pressuring people
to substitute organized religion in the place of GOD'S
Plan of submitting to the Holy Spirit, these worldly ministers
are sending God's beloved children into the jaws of Hell itself.
Ministers do this to gain the church's financial, political
and social resources. They think they need these resources
to gain success.
But they bought Satan's lie and
have traded the power of God, THE HOLY GHOST, for
money and social status.
Act 10:38:
"How God Anointed Jesus Christ with THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH POWER, Who
went about doing good, healing all that were oppressed of
the devil." (No mention of joining a [synagogue or]
church.) II Timothy 3:1-7:
"1: This know also, that in the
last days perilous times shall come. 2:
For MEN shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, (jealous
of others' material wealth) boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to
parents, unthankful, unholy,
3:
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent
(no self-control – self-control being a Fruit of the Spirit) fierce, DESPISERS
OF THOSE THAT ARE GOOD, 4:
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
5: Having a FORM OF GODLINESS
(WHOA – HE'S TALKING ABOUT CHRISTIANS!! ATHEISTS DON'T PRETEND TO
BE GODLY!! THEY BOAST IN THEIR REJECTION OF
ANYTHING EVEN REMOTELY GODLY!!) BUT DENYING THE POWER (HOLY
GHOST) THEREOF: FROM SUCH TURN AWAY. 6:
For this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly
women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, 7:
Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge
of the Truth." [

[
15. Attempts to replace submission
to the Holy Ghost with
organized religion ]
All you need is God, and
God alone. PERIOD. Which of the prophets submitted to organized
religion?
Nicodemus (a Pharisee) came to
Jesus at night because "the Jews (religious leaders) had
agreed already, that if any man did confess that He (Jesus) was Christ
(had the Spirit of God upon Him) he should be put out of the synagogue."
(John 9:22)
If any man confessed Jesus had the
Holy Ghost ("Christ" means "anointed one") he'd be thrown out
of church. The church sought to claim they alone
had the Spirit of God, they alone could access God, they
alone were doing God's will. This gave them tremendous power
over the people.
The claim is you aren't "right
with God" unless you get behind their program!
The REAL Holy Ghost was seen as competition!
Even Pontius Pilate understood that! (Matthew
27:17-18) Even Jesus' own disciples were guilty!
"And John answered Him (Jesus), saying,
'Master, we saw one casting out devils in Thy Name, AND HE FOLLOWETH
NOT US [he was not one of us]: and we FORBAD HIM [told
him to stop], because he followeth not us.' Note: John, seeking
to justify his attempt to replace submission to the Holy Ghost with religion,
TWICE summed up his ONLY reason: "He follows not us." (Mark
9:38)
Did Jesus go along with this? NO!
"But Jesus said, 'Forbid him NOT [do
not stop him]: for there is NO MAN (not even the janitor
in the church, that neighbor you hate, nor people in that denomination
you despise…) which shall do a miracle in My Name, that can [in
the next moment] lightly speak [say anything] evil of Me.'" (Mark
9:39) [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy. ]
[
16. whosoever KILLS You, will think that he doeth GOD
a SERVICE ]
[ trust God to supply your
needs, not the church. come out of corrupt institutions ]
Jesus went further and described religious
people as murders of God's children.
(Jesus speaking) "Ye have not chosen
Me [Jesus], but I [Jesus] have chosen you, and ordained you,
(John 15:16-25)
( If Jesus ordains you, you
ARE ordained, whether the church recognizes it or not )
that ye should go and bring
forth fruit,
( Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness,
Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance – NOT BUILD RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS
)
and that your fruit should remain:
THAT whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father (trust God
to supply your needs, not the church) in My Name,
He may give it [to] you.
"These things I [Jesus] command you, that
ye love one another. (John 15:17)
"If the World hate you, ye know
that it hated Me [Jesus] before it hated you.
(John 15:18)
If ye were of the world, the world would
love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I (Jesus,
not the church) have chosen you OUT OF THE WORLD, therefore the
world hateth you. (John 15:19)
"Remember the Word that I said unto you,
The servant is not greater than his Lord. If
they have persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; IF they have
kept My Saying, they will keep yours also. (John
15:20)
But all these things will they do unto
you for My Name's sake, because they KNOW NOT HIM THAT SENT ME.
(John 15:21)
"If I had not come and spoken unto them,
they had not had [would not be guilty of] sin: (These are people
who have met Jesus…like Christians) but now they have
no cloak for their sin. (John
15:22)
"He that hateth Me hateth My
Father also. (John 15:23)
If I had not done among them the works
which none other man did, (These are people who had seen miracles – like
Christians) they had not had [would not be guilty of] sin: but now
they have both SEEN [these miracles] and [yet they
have] hated both Me and My Father. (John
15:24) (How did they see the Father? By seeing
the Holy Ghost work through Jesus. But they accused the Holy Ghost
of being evil – they hated Him! But Jesus said the work of
the Holy Ghost, which is to destroy Satan's work -- Act
10:38 -- proves a person is walking in the authority
of God! Luke 11:14-23)
"But this cometh to pass, that the
Word might be fulfilled that is written in their Law, 'They hated
Me without a cause [reason].'" (John
15:25)
(What is God's solution to this dilemma?
How does Jesus expect us to escape these backsliders' deceptions and attacks?
Why, HE GAVE US THE HOLY GHOST!! I
John 4:1-6 tells us plainly KNOWING GOD'S HOLY SPIRIT
is how we defeat people motivated by the spirit
of Antichrist. — religion — and error. Simply put, the spirit
of religion – Satan – and the Holy Ghost are eternally
hostile to one another. Like similar charged ends on a magnet,
they eternally resist one another, eternally seek each other's destruction.)
"But when THE COMFORTER is come, Whom I will
send unto you from the Father, even The Spirit of TRUTH,
which proceedeth from the Father, He shall TESTIFY OF ME (Jesus):
(John 15:26)
And you shall also bear Witness, (bear
in yourself the Holy Ghost, Who is the Witness) because you have been with
Me from the beginning. (John 15:27)
"These things have I spoken unto you, that
ye should not be offended. (John
16:1) ("offended" in Greek = cave in under pressure, surrender,
give up, be crushed, be defeated)
"They shall put you out of the
synagogues: (who runs synagogues, or CHURCHES? CHURCH
LEADERS, THAT'S WHO!!) yea, the time cometh, that whosoever [anyone
who] KILLS YOU WILL THINK THAT HE
DOETH GOD [A] SERVICE. (John 16:2)
"And these things will they do unto you, BECAUSE
they have NOT KNOWN THE FATHER, NOR ME." (John
16:3) Note: unbelievers don't believe God exists.
Who, then, will think they are doing God's Work by
killing God's People? John 16:2:
the rulers of the synagogues, RELIGIOUS LEADERS!!
God is screaming at the top of His lungs,
"Put the Holy Ghost first and come
out of the corrupt institutions!
Otherwise, you will partake
of her judgment."
I told God to show me a church
in my area that was serving Him.
God told me, "THERE AREN'T ANY!!"
It's the same everywhere you go – the pastors
have sold out to the pleasures of the flesh, MONEY,
and the addictive abuses of power and authority.
"The overwhelming majority, though
they are so sure of their own salvation, are going to wake
up in Hell. (I Corinthians 10:1-12)
So deceived are they, they will not be able to understand why
they are in the lake of fire, but in the lake of fire they WILL be."

[
17. Do we have faith in God
for finances, or
complain until Satan is
our only supplier ? ]
"More ministers have gone to Hell
selling out over money than any other single issue.
So persuaded are they that I, God, will not help them (but I will
[help them] IF they would only OBEY)
they have turned to MONEY to deliver them. I,
God, (NOT SATAN) but I, GOD, will do a great
work in these last days. I, GOD, (not Satan) will cut
off the preachers' finances. The more they harass
and beg people for money, the more I, GOD
WILL (not might, WILL) cut off their finances.
The more they shut their mouths about money and trust quietly
in Me, the more I will make sure they always have more than
enough."
My brother lives with me. He couldn't
find a job. I nagged him endlessly about paying his bills.
God told me I had fallen into this trap,
so stop nagging and have faith GOD takes
care of it. So I shut up and believed God. Three
months later my brother got a job at double the pay
of any job he's ever had. God doesn't lie!!
At the last church I attended
God impressed me to tithe.
The first service I attended the pastor complained bitterly about
people who won't tithe. God said, "Well, NOW
I CAN'T tell you to tithe, because I told you I'd dry up
the finances of all preachers that pressure people to
pay."
God then said, "Help out around
the church by doing manual work." But even as He spoke, the pastor
began to complain people won't help around the church.
God said, "Well, NOW I can't tell you to help out.
Just forget the whole thing. The pastor has shut
himself off from My blessings."
Six months later I saw that pastor.
He was still struggling financially and had no help
in his church. A pastor must meet God's conditions
to receive help and finances.
This is a spiritual law few pastors realize.
The Israelites' constant complaining
in the wilderness led God to say, "You will not enter into My rest."
[ Psa 95:11 ] The book of Hebrews
declares we should fear earnestly lest we fall after the same
example. (Hebrews 3:7-19, 4:1)
As God cuts off finances to judge
complaining, pastors beat the sheep more viciously, and the cycle continues
until the church is bankrupt. The sheep flee the beatings, and end
up wandering from church to church trying to find sanctuary from
the money-mad preacher. The preachers respond by verbally
attacking sheep that go from church to church.
So they stop attending completely.
The last synagogue I attended, the rabbi believed
no Christian who has attended more than five churches in his or her life
REALLY knows Christ.
God told me, "You are a FOOL if you don't
leave a dead work. My sheep go from church to
church because they are looking for Me!!
But they can't find Me…and it's the leaders' fault."
He told me He was going to remove
the Tree of Life from that synagogue if the leaders
did not repent. [

18. Summarizing what Christians
face from church leadership ]
Brother (Name withheld), there are millions
of people out there that have been raped, robbed, crushed and spit out
by the church. And all the leaders do is go on and
on about the needs of the leadership. "Stop thinking
of yourself and serve the leadership more!" they demand.
They tell hurting, dying people, "Tough,
I don't care. The burden the last preacher made you carry with your
whole back, I'll make you carry with your little finger!!"
America is FILLED with Christians who
will just walk away from you if you even mention church, leadership or
tithes.
Jesus told Peter if you
really love Me, you will feed My sheep, NOT BEAT
THEM!! (John 21:16)
Attendance is way down… AND
IT'S THE PREACHERS' FAULT FOR BEATING THE SHEEP!!

19. Visit to Heaven and a message
from God of insight into
the churches ]
[ God is holding My People responsible
for America's destruction
]
Does the Bible encourage us to defend the
perpetrators of injustice?
Jesus appeared to me one day and said,
"Come with Me. I want to show you something."
I was in Heaven. I was enveloped
in white clouds. Jesus was holding my left hand. We approached
a white marble throne. It was the Father. I could look at Him,
see His form, but never His Face. (Exodus
33:20) His Face was like a glaring searchlight. All I saw
was blinding light. The floor felt like cool marble. It looked
like glass, with flames underneath. (Revelations
15:2)
The Father told me, "I brought you here to
impress you very thoroughly that this is the Word of God.
Search the scriptures and see if it is not so. (Act
17:11, Luke 16:17)
"The
church has become a ravenous beast, whose mouth
is the stairway to Hell. With iron teeth and claws
of brass they crush my people. They complain bitterly
about abortion, but their gates are filled with dead and
dying Christians who they have murdered in My Name.
(Matthew 23:27, John
15:6) Like insane rabid dogs, and killer bees, they will swim
the deepest ocean and climb the highest mountain to strip you of My Anointing
and make you twice the child of Hell they are themselves. (Matthew
23:14-33) They drag peoples' souls to Hell. They will never,
ever leave you alone until the day you leave this life. (John
16:33) They will stop at NOTHING to convert you to their
evil ways or destroy you. But I will be with you.
(Isaiah 41:10) [
^ Events surrounding this prophecy. ]
"They will not prevail.
Like Jeremiah crying to a nation that would not listen,
so will you see America
go down to it's destruction. You will be a voice
crying in the wilderness. The church will be blamed
at My [God's] throne for America's demise. For if MY
people which are called by My Name, will humble themselves,
seek My Face and pray, THEN I will hear their prayer, and
heal their land. (II Chronicles
7:14)
[ God is placing the blame
for America's demise on the church, because My [God's]
people in the church [ the congregation ] have, so far, failed
to humble themselves, seek My [God's] Face and pray. When
God's people do repent and "humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my [God's] face, and turn from their wicked ways;

their sin, and will heal their land." (II

["Satanic Lie #] 1) You must attend
a local church. There is no scripture to back this
up. It is ANTI-SCRIPTURE. The Bible commands fellowshipping
with the TRUE brethren. (Hebrews
10:24-25)
"Just having a building and calling
yourself a church does NOT make you the true brethren. The
TRUE brethren HEAR MY FATHER'S VOICE (THE HOLY GHOST) AND OBEY
HIM!! (Matthew 12:48-50)
"If an apostate church casts out an
obedient prophet, THE CHURCH has committed the sin
of refusing to fellowship with the brethren. They have
excluded themselves from the obedient, thus true
brethren, the person of the prophet. (Matthew
23:34, Matthew 21:33-44, Matthew
10:40-42)
(Is this a surprise when scripture plainly
states the majority is wrong? – "Few be those that find
(Jesus) the strait gate" – Matthew
7:14)
"A building and a license to
preach doesn't make you the brethren anymore than jumping in water
makes you a fish. There is ONLY ONE WAY TO QUALIFY:
You MUST hear my Father's Voice (The Holy Ghost) and OBEY
HIM. Note: Many hear, but FEW OBEY, hearing
is NOT enough!!

God dwelt in the Temple, a BUILDING made by man.
(II Chronicles 5:13-14)
"In the New Testament [under the New Covenant,
beginning with Jesus' resurrection], God dwells IN HIS PEOPLE.
(I Corinthians 6:19) God is with
every believer everywhere you go. (Acts
2:17-21)
"You don't have to go to a church
building or belong to a denomination to find God.
If you are BORN AGAIN, and you want to pray to God, pray
at your belly button, for that is where I live. Jesus' death
[and resurrection] freed Me [God] from dwelling
in buildings, I [God] now dwell IN PEOPLE.
(Matthew 27:50-51)
"Satan passes off the church
denomination and building as the dwelling place of God,
but I [God] have left the Temple of man and
now dwell in the hearts of BORN AGAIN PEOPLE!!
No where else on Earth do I dwell. PERIOD!!
"Satan uses the building as
"the church" because anyone (including the apostate) can
have a building.
"If having a building made you the true
brethren, Satan would spread the doctrine to never, ever go in a building.

22. deadly satanic doctrine #2:
You must submit to church leadership to
submit to God ]
"Satanic Lie # 2) You must submit
to church leadership to submit to God.
"However, there is no scripture supporting
putting your trust and obedience in church
leadership, either. (Ephesians 1:20-23,
John 3:30)
"Jesus plainly said and He
did NOT lie, the HOLY GHOST would lead you and guide you
into ALL truth. (John 16:13,
I John 2:27)
"Paul says to obey God and not
man. (Acts 5:29) Church
leaders are MEN.
"John says the purpose of ALL
men (including LEADERS - are they not men?) is to encourage all
men (born again or not) to FELLOWSHIP WITH GOD!! (I
John 1:3) To get to KNOW Him. To learn
to walk in, hear, and OBEY God's Holy Spirit.
(I John 2:27)
"(Jeremiah says everyone knowing God
for themselves IS the New Covenant. No one
will have to command others in that day saying, "Know ye the Lord", because
everyone will: Jeremiah
31:33-34)
"John states to deny "Jesus has come in
the flesh" is Antichrist. Aren't you flesh? Born again Believers
ARE the flesh or body of Christ. (Ephesians
1:22-23) Antichrist in the Greek is "alteros christos"
(I looked it up later -- God was right) which means an artificial, substitute,
counterfeit, or false god.
"Every believer has a leading
by the Holy Ghost, which is IN you. To deny a Christian
can be lead of God all by themselves is to deny Christ dwells in their
flesh. (I Corinthians 12:12-27)
"Christ means 'Anointed One.'
Anointed with what? The Holy Ghost!! (Acts
10:38). So He, Jesus, who does all things by the Holy Ghost lives
in you. (John 14:23, I
Corinthians 6:19) He can guide and lead you Himself,
after all, doesn't JESUS have the Almighty Holy Ghost? Of course
He does!! How then can Jesus not guide you and lead you?
"But this IS what the "pretending to be God,"
or "playing God" (Antichrist) leaders want you to believe.
God can't lead you, so you have to rely on THEM.
See how Satan pulls the bait and switch? Men claim you must
obey men to obey God. No, you must OBEY THE
HOLY GHOST to obey God. (I
John 2:27) As you obey the Holy Ghost, Antichrists
will pressure you to stop listening to the Holy Ghost and
trust in CHURCH LEADERSHIP to guide you instead. (I
John 2:22-28) [

23. deadly satanic doctrine #3:
You must pay tithes and offerings
]
"Satanic Lie # 3) You must pay
tithes and offerings.
"In the NEW TESTAMENT, there is not
one scripture to back this up. In the NEW TESTAMENT, you give
GOD (Not the church) EVERY PENNY YOU OWN. (Acts
4:34-35) You do this by doing EXACTLY WHAT
THE HOLY GHOST SAYS TO DO WITH YOUR MONEY.
"In the Old Testament I told Moses
(Leviticus 22:17-18, 21)
tithes were free will offerings.
"In the New [Testament],
I commanded every man give as the Spirit of God convicted
him. (II Corinthians 9:7, Acts
5:3-4 — Note: Judgment fell because they [Ananias and Sapphira]
LIED to the Holy Ghost, not because they kept the money. Peter plainly
states it was in their power to keep back part. God left it up to
them to decide how much to give. If God needed the MONEY,
why did He slay them before He could get the rest?)
"Read about Israeli priests Eli, Hophni and
Phineas in the Old Testament. They forced people to
pay tithes, and were judged by Me for it. (I looked it up,
"Phineas" means "serpent's tongue – accusing spy" and "Hophni" means "fighter,
thug, hitman": Phineas spied on everyone and reported people who
didn't pay to Hophni. Hophni then went out and beat them half to
death. Both died under God's judgment.) It is FORBIDDEN
for the priest to DEMAND the tithe OR offering.
"Yet the American church DEMANDS
you pay tithes to ANY CHURCH, just to pay,
and many have given their money to Satan's servants to perform Satan's
work. Just because they claim to be the true brethren
by having a building does not qualify.
"I [God] gave the commandment to
pay tithes to provide food for the poor,
and provide a living for My priests. (Malachi
3:10, Matthew 12:3-5) Not
to build buildings.
"You'd be better off giving ten percent
to your neighbor whose husband just left, or lost their
job.
"I, God, don't need your money,
anyway. The poor do.
"Count how many references
there are in the New Testament to help the poor. (I
gave up after the Gospel of Luke – there were too many!!)
"Now show me ONE New Testament commandment
to pay tithes.
"(The reference to Melchisedec and Abraham
in Hebrews Chapter [ 7 &] 5
is a historical fact reviewed. How people get a New Testament commandment
from this to pay tithes, I'll never know.)
"Nevertheless, it is PROPER to fellowship
with, walk in love and peace towards, and pay
tithes and offerings to THE TRUE BRETHREN as My Spirit
guides you. But it is up to YOU to seek Me
and I will reveal to you who is OBEYING ME and who is not."

24. As churches refuse to SUBMIT to
the HOLY GHOST, My Spirit will leave
them ]
In 1985 the Lord showed me America
viewed from space. I saw hundreds of lights.
Soon, the lights began to go out. One by one, until
very few were left. He told me, "The lights represent
My Spirit in the churches. As they refuse to
SUBMIT to MY HOLY GHOST, one by one, My Spirit will
leave them. They will end up dead, dry works."
Since then I have seen church after church after church become
apostate and lose God's Spirit. [

25. Sound the Alarm:
Follow the Holy Ghost (and
not after men). ]
[ The
last days are upon us. ]
Brother (Name withheld), SOMEONE
has to warn God's precious sheep to FOLLOW THE
HOLY GHOST and not [follow] after men. (I
John 2:26-27). The Church is raping, murdering and destroying
people just like God told me. Everywhere I go I see a path of bruised,
sick, dying people left in the wake of the Beast with iron teeth.
Every time the Holy Ghost commands
me to do ANYTHING in a church, the leadership
is in an uproar and they throw me out.
The most spiritual people I know have all
had the same experience.
I am hoping against hope YOU are still
true to God and will sound the alarm. (Ezekiel
3:17-21)
I first heard of you in the 1980's.
A man at work gave me a copy of "The Vision." It was a first edition,
printed in 1974. You gave 15 prophecies that would come
to pass before Jesus' return. As I read the prophecies,
I said, "I remember when that happened.
I remember when that happened." Finally, you said nude dancing
would become the fastest growing industry in America.
I said, "That hasn't happened yet."
God told me, "Oh, yes it has."
I said, "Prove it!" He said, "I will!" at 10:00 PM on a Sunday
night.
At 08:00 AM the next day, I was reading the
front page of the Wall Street Journal. The cover
story was: Nude dancing was the fastest growing industry
in America! The article repeated point by point EXACTLY what
you had written in your book.
I give you and [your] ministry the right to
preprint this material for your book. If you never use it, I love
you anyway.
The last days are upon us.
It is time to wake up.
Prayerfully,
An anonymous friend of Torah Teacher Ariel
