A Testimony 

In 1996, while I was in college, I was given a evangelism track by a friend. This small booklet explained to me (a humanist at the time) the full Gospel: man’s fallen state, through Adam; our separation from God, who is perfect and holy; and what He (God) did to take away this separation. I read the track, was convicted of my sin, repented and acknowledged Jesus Christ as

1. The Son of God, who is God

2. The Lord and sovereign of my life

3. My Savior from death and Hell.

I did not realize then, that what happened at that moment, had not only saved my soul, but was going to keep me from falling…over and over again.


Doctrines of demons…in the House of God

“God’s Word is not scripture, God’s word is the message you are hearing from God, and then you speak forth and you attract the reality that you speak.” 

This above quote from Joel Osteen, Your Best Life Now, is a New Age/New Thought teaching known as the Law of Attraction…and is a mainstream teaching in but not restricted to the charismatic parts of the Church. (Osteen is just one of many highly elevated preachers that have brought this and other false doctrines into the Church, deceiving people on mass.)

Essentially this teaches that we, by the power of our words can get whatever we desire (a total twisting of scripture). 

It is a predatory lie that is being used in God’s House, by wolves in sheep’s clothing, who are getting extremely rich at the expense of vulnerable and often desperate people.

For me personally, I all but lost every concept of who Jesus Christ was…which is not surprising, when you reduce the Son of God to a genie in a bottle, who at the magic rub of our words, will appear to grant us the “desires of our hearts” (another hideous twisting of scripture)

I was one of those… I knew I was being taken for a ride, so I walked away from the Church…and came close to walking away from the Lord.

What saved me? The track that was placed in my hand, that had given me the true Gospel and introduced me to the true Jesus Christ. That is what kept me through this heresy-against all odds. I would argue that if a person is actually “saved” through the preaching of one of these churches, they have not received the true Gospel - nor do they know the true Son of God…when they walk away disillusioned (as so many have), they will not come back.

Isaiah 42:8

I know I came back only because, through receiving the true Gospel, I came face to face with the true Lord Jesus Christ: I was truly convicted of sin, and truly and sincerely repented. At that moment I became a child of God…and regardless of what has happened since, He has not let me go.

To preach anything other than the true, undiluted Gospel of the Kingdom is to endanger the souls of every single person within earshot. I know, because I have been there!

Forever United - A Kingdom Under God

For every walled garden; for every climbing rose: for the fragrance of every wild flower - in every wild meadow…for every brook and stream, every winding, leafy lane…every rolling hill; every patchwork of field and hedgerow. For the stone-built church that still points upwards, because Your Word is etched down deep into its foundations: For the stone cottage and the corner shop; for the sound of the waves and the smell of the sea. For everything that is England, that reminds us of everything that is still good (Luke 18:19)…everything that is of you (James1:17) For the glory of your coming redemption, upon all of these things:  For the multitudes of people who you have shown me, WILL enter in to Your Kingdom.  For the changing face of Great Britain - from one of Anglo-Saxon Celt,  to the most beautiful array of color and race ever seen..for the multitude of culture and religion that YOU have brought to this country…and who You will bring into the Kingdom… For their coming ...

The Unraveling

The Land of the Free…🇺🇸 “We do hereby dedicate this Land, and ourselves, to reach the People within these shores with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and to raise up Godly generations after us,  and with these generations take the Kingdom of God to all the earth. ” The Rev. Robert Hunt, from Cape Henry, Virginia, in the year 1607, dedicates the Land destined to become the United States of America, to the Lord. These words were now ringing out across the United States of America.  “We The People ” had uncovered the ancient ruins…they had sought out the ancient paths; I heard weeping and whaling…husbands and wives crying on one another’s shoulders. People were literally rending their hearts. It was like an almost exact replay of Nehemiah ch.8  10 And do not be grieved, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”  11 So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, “Be quiet, for this day is holy; do not be grieved.” 12 And all the people went their way to eat and d...

Stand

And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. Romans 14:4 This was written concerning the warriors in Great Britain - but it can be received by any Christian, in any nation: anyone with a heart to serve the Lord, but who has become heavy leaden and drowsy with the weariness of living the everyday life:  It is for Christians in genuine places of pain and hardship - but it is also:  for Christians seeing their children off to school, for Christians doing housework, shopping, waiting at bus stops, at train stations… for Christians in supermarkets, factories, offices, manual jobs; also teachers and nurses… for Christians in high stress lives…and for those that seem to be going around in a cycle - the same routine over and over…loneliness, fatigue - even boredom.  This word is for you: “For I say to you stand - stand to your posts -  (Matthew 25:1-13) And await my instructions.  For those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength.  I hav...
