I Pray


I pray that the Spirit of the Lord Jesus Christ will cause confusion to come over the socialist/communist wherever they meet this week and that discernment will come to all true Christians in the United States that allows them to see clearly what is going on.

I pray that Christians will see the spirits at work behind the media that has been promoting the socialist/communist and secular/atheistic movements in America.

I pray that all people attending churches controlled by anything other than the Holy Spirit and led by anyone other than true and mature apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers will awaken from their spiritual stupor caused in large part by the ministers and teachings they have been following and will flee those churches and those deceived and deceiving ministers.

I pray that Christians with Christ formed within, anointed with the Holy Spirit and power and sanctified by truth will come forth and be the church that Jesus gave His life for and will go into the world as salt and light defending the true gospel and proclaiming the truth of Jesus, His word and His kingdom.

I pray that all the other gospels that have infiltrated many churches and denominations will be exposed and dealt with accordingly. This includes the false prosperity gospel, the false cheap love and grace gospel, the false social gospel, the false legalistic gospel and any other gospel that has replaced and/or watered down the truth of Jesus as the Sacrificial Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world and the empowering Lord who baptizes with the Holy Spirit and proclaims the gospel of the kingdom.

I pray that all true Christians will have discernment that allows them to see evil spirits wherever they are at work in anyone. I pray that their discernment will be so keen that they can tell that a spirit or spirits are at work simply by seeing the effects on the faces of the people and hearing the effects on the voices of the people.

I pray that all true Christians will become sanctified by truth and be able to discern lies, deceptions, false teachings and false traditions no matter how beautifully and religiously they may be packaged.

I pray that all ministers who have been born again but not baptized in the Spirit will stop what they are doing and wait before God until Jesus baptizes them in the Holy Spirit. that all true Christians will become sanctified by truth and be able to discern lies, deceptions, false teachings and false traditions no matter how beautifully and religiously they may be packaged.

The Ship is taking in Water


When a ship is sailing there are many activities going on. Each activity requires the attention of certain people. When a ship is in distress and taking in water all hands on deck do what is necessary to keep the ship from sinking. A few sections of the ship may not yet be receiving water, but if the water is not stopped from spreading the whole ship is in danger.

Most parts of the church in the United States are taking in the water of the world. Regretfully at present there are few that see the danger and even fewer who are sounding the alarm and doing anything about it.  Actually many of the shepherds-false and/or immature ones- are opening the flood gates. Where are those who will sound the alarm, take up the sword of the Spirit and get in the gap?

Wouldn’t this be a great day to declare independence from forces of deceit and destruction from within and without that are bent on destroying Christian freedom and American freedom? Where are those with eyes to see and ears to hear? Up and Onward Christian Soldiers!

Let Us Go On to Maturity


Let us go on to maturity (Hebrews 6: 1) is the goal of the Lord Jesus for the Church that He is building (Matthew 16:18). Maturity is not an instant process for those born by faith into the kingdom of God. Just as individuals must go through elementary school to advance to higher learning, believers must learn the elementary principles of Christ before they can go on to maturity in Christ. The Holy Spirit gives us those elementary principles in Hebrews 6: 1, 2 and they are six in number.

In life we don’t want to have to keep learning the same lesson over and over. We want to go on to learning other things. For example, we don’t want one year of experience forty times; we want forty years of experience. Regretfully many people of the world and many people of the church fall into the category of one year of experience forty times. The word expresses it this way, ever learning and never coming to the truth (2 Timothy 3:7). In many ways this describes most parts of the church at the present time. It is not just a condition of those in the pews; it is a condition of those in the pulpits. Actually the state of those in the pews is largely the responsibility of those in the pulpits.

Don’t get defensive or angry! I loved my first grade teacher, but she would not have qualified as an upper grade or college level teacher. I once knew someone that taught math in a university and was very good at it. This person decided to pursue another degree in mathematics and ran into a course that caused much stress and consternation.  It was beyond present capability. It is sad to say, but the six elementary doctrines that one must be rightly proficient in before going onto maturity in Christ are beyond the present capability of most preachers in the body of Christ.

The six elementary principles of Christ are: repentance from dead works, faith toward God, the doctrine of baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. If you as a believer want to become mature in Christ you must first learn these six principles and I am not talking about memorizing them. They must become a true and vital part of your life.

I must caution you that it will be near impossible to find a minister and a church that at present is functioning in these six elementary principles in word, truth and deed. It is great proof of the need for spiritual restoration of the church. Don’t become discouraged! Instead become founded in the six elementary principles, then go on to maturity and teach others the basics (Hebrews 5:12) and lead them to maturity. Let us go on to maturity!
