For a few months, I felt as if I should expose some of the false ministries and ideals which are so prevalent in the American Church.
I mean, I didn't plan on it, but one thing led to another, and I felt as if God just wanted me to write about this injustice, and then this injustice of the church, and before you knew it, the Holy Spirit was bringing all sorts of evil into the light. So, I just went with the flow.
Well, many will think that I did this for a number of wrong reasons.
Nevertheless, I can honestly say that I believe that God had given me the freedom to write every paper that I published on this website in the last year.
From the beginning of the year, when I published and had to remind many individuals of this Church/Cult Leader, from Kansas City who led one of the biggest "cover ups," in the church years ago, I felt a great sense of peace.
Finally, after something like fourteen years, he was finally toppled from his charismatic throne, and no one could deny his deeds. More and more were brought into the light, yet a number of his henchmen walked away "scot-free," such is life.
And then there was another group of preachers who had been manipulating the children of God for decades, as they grew financial kingdoms on Earth, all in the name of Christ.
Well, in a matter of a few papers, I was able to expose their practices and to show how they have led multitudes of millions down a reckless course of discipleship and caused many to backslide and to forsake their Savoir, Jesus Christ, all in the pursuit of worldly possessions and goods.
Lastly, I was able to write a few papers and to expose the practices of a number of men who have made their God the legalistic stands in which each one takes concerning the arguments of "Theology."
Many times, using their arguments to blaspheme God and to make for themselves a God created out of the "Theologians," which have gone before them.
Well, can I be honest with you all?
Nothing that I have ever done has given me any more satisfaction as those papers posted in the last few months concerning these False Brethren and False Wolves who have entered the Church to spread their wrong ideas and heretical views concerning the "Word of God."
You see, I haven't just developed these ideas, these are things that God has been showing me for over three or four decades. I didn't just wake up a few months ago, and decide, "Well, this morning I will go after this ministry."
Or I didn't just wake up two weeks later and say, "Yea, now I'll go after these false teachers."
No, I have had to sit in the shadows and to watch all of these practices and deceits for years, as these men plundered the "children of God," for all of their financial gains and for the freedom for which Jesus died to give them on that Cross.
Apparently, in America the clergy believes that Jesus died on the Cross for the purpose of appointing "Shepherds," who would have the right of manipulating the naive in order that they build individual kingdoms, all based on their ministries.
And by setting up these false little kingdoms they had the right to all of the resources of their "flocks?"
Nevertheless, my point is that through these last few months of writing, I was able to share my feelings toward these wicked men and why I believed as I have when it came to the modern American Church.
And so, for me it was a wonderful and fulfilling project, I believe that a number of people will have copied some of those letters and that one day, it will give answers as to why it seemed that "John," was so against the practices in the Church.
Could it have been that the Church was just filled to over-flowing with crooks and False Shepherds?
Nevertheless, that was one of the reasons why I pulled my papers a few days ago.
In other words, I felt justified and no longer had this great burden for "What people are going to think of my actions."
You see, my actions have only corresponded with the crooks that I have had to deal with in the church.
Nonetheless, there is still one paper that I have to write in order to fully explain my actions toward the modern church.
Therefore, in the next couple of weeks, I will be releasing a paper concerning an issue that has been so exploited by the Church that it has brought the entire Nation down, as well as the Church by its perverse and exploited doctrine.
In fact, the apostle Paul had asked a church in which he was writing to, "Who has bewitched you?"
Who has placed a curse over your family's lives?
Who has placed a curse over your new converts lives?
Who has placed a curse over your children's lives?
Who has placed a curse over your churches life and has therefore caused you to replace the freedom that you have in Christ and to place yourselves under the law again?
...to Be continued.
The following is a reprint of a paper in which I posted ten days ago yet pulled it a little soon.
I feel as if perhaps the Holy Spirit would have me to post a little longer. Perhaps, till I post my last one in a week or so, at the proper time?
Enjoy!
America Repent...
..for the way that you have treated the Holy Spirit!

2 Kings 13:14-20 New Living Translation
14 When Elisha was in his last illness, King Jehoash of Israel visited him and wept over him. "My father! My father! I see the chariots and charioteers of Israel!" he cried.
15 Elisha told him, "Get a bow and some arrows." And the king did as he was told. 16 Elisha told him, "Put your hand on the bow," and Elisha laid his own hands on the king's hands.
17 Then he commanded, "Open that eastern window," and he opened it. Then he said, "Shoot!" So he shot an arrow. Elisha proclaimed, "This is the Lord's arrow, an arrow of victory over Aram, for you will completely conquer the Arameans at Aphek."
18 Then he said, "Now pick up the other arrows and strike them against the ground." So the king picked them up and struck the ground three times. 19 But the man of God was angry with him. "You should have struck the ground five or six times!" he exclaimed. "Then you would have beaten Aram until it was entirely destroyed. Now you will be victorious only three times."
20 Then Elisha died and was buried.
(God gave me the above scripture the other day and He said that it is very applicable to America's situation. Way back in the days of the Jesus Movement, God sent a prophet, and he told them, "Take these arrows and strike the ground."
Begin text:
Well, the fleshly kings all got together, and they said to one another, "Well, if we strike the ground too hard it might hurt our pretty armament, so they, "Whoopsie, one, whoopsie two, and finally whoopsie three," so today you are looking at the remnants of what is left of the "Whoopsie Movements."
"Oh, I am sorry, they have re-named themselves the "Reformed Movement," or the "Modern Theologians Movement." )
The correct version...
You know, sometimes you just can't explain where God is taking you, so you just do what He tells you to do. The Lord might tell you to go and attack "Gilead" and then come back for more directions. Or sometimes, He might just say, "Go and attack Gilead."
Well, now this is when you have to be obedient and to not question the Lord. You can't say, "Well gee, Lord I'm not even sure that I know what it is?"
No, you have to answer God with "Faith," you have to say something like, "Yea, I hear you Lord, where is that fool and all of his fellow cronies?"
"I am going to clean that guy's clock."
Or you have to answer something like, "Yea, I'll bring that mountain down to ashes, how dare they ascend the heaven's basing their existence on falsehoods and hypocrisies."
""ll do it God," and then you realize, "What the heck did I just tell God?"
"Man, my goose is cooked now, how am I ever going to get out of this one?"
Well, that was what I was asking myself last week, after I posted a "You Tube," clip of some of our illustrious and famous "Theologians," or.....well, that's what they call themselves anyway?
But you see, this is how "Faith in God," works.
I like the way that the Bible calls it. You know, it's a principle of God. You see, he always gives us a "line upon line, a precept upon precept."
I believe that many times, if he gave us the whole revelation, we couldn't handle it and we might back out?
So, he gives us a line and he says, "Go and attack Gilead."
Well, I'm still trying to find out who "Gilead" is and then He says, "Post some of those 'Funny Dog,' clips from "You Tube."
Well, I haven't a clue as to why, but almost every time I see them, I am laughing hilariously?
There's just something funny about certain people or dogs when they get "Shortchanged" in life, even if it is of their own making, don't you think?"
So, anyway, it was a few days later and the Lord says to me, I want you to watch that movie called "Jesus Revolution."
Well, that night I rented it and watched the thing which only reinforced much of what I had already known concerning the "Church," during that particular time in History. You see, I have been observing American Christianity for well over forty years now.
Well, as I have observed "Stream after Stream" of Charismatic History since the "Jesus Revolution," I can tell you that not once have I ever seen "American Christianity," ever properly defined historically.
You see, after almost every "Charismatic Stream" or Church falls or fades away, they are all remembered as being very "Saintly," or successful, although if all of the skeletons had been let out of the closets, we would have a much different picture than what we are left with through the annals of historical remembrance.
But this was why years ago, I told the Lord, "Lord, someday I am going to record the good, the bad and the ugly, so the generation that comes after me doesn't make the same mistakes and we all start from the beginning again because of ignorance of past mistakes."
No, there have been too many times that the church has had to start all over again and it really didn't have to be that way if the former screw ups, were more honest with themselves and with their children.
And I am sorry, but this is just the "Truth." You see, there have and will be many Church Leaders who when they get to heaven are going to be in for "The surprise of their life."
To just give you a glance of what I am talking about, I will refer to just one "Charismatic Leader."
If you were to read the reviews of thousands and thousands of Pastors and leaders, you would have thought that this guy was the "Mother Theresa," of the "Charismatic world."
Nevertheless, there was a Prophet who exposed this guy, time and again, yet the Prophet was shunned, ostracize, belittled, slandered against, as just a small token of "Persecution." You see, this is a promise of Jesus, that all Christians should suffer if they are seriously doing the "work of God."
Nonetheless, this Prophet was consistent with his story concerning this "Charismatic Fellow," for well over thirteen years. Nevertheless, although his stories never changed and the facts were laid out among and along with a few hundred of this Church/Cult leaders' devotees, the facts still remained "Covered Up."
The reason for this?
Well, it is because most charismatic converts in the Church today, have been indoctrinated to a man, rather than to a Savoir, named Jesus.
And then there were the "Leader's" Peers.
Yes, right up until the last week or two when all of Judas guts were splattered over a few rocks, these loyal "Peers," of the man consistently stood by him.
"Why," you ask?
Well, it is because in America very few have any inclination of true Christianity.
And so, here we have a world renown Scholar of Charismania, and he hadn't a clue.
Nevertheless, I am absolutely sure that the man had heard the stories which I had even written about and were widely spoken about over the years.
Next, we had a man who ran a Charismatic Magazine Empire, who defended this leader right up to the time when his "Guts" were so beautifully splattered all over the rocks.
What can I say?
"I find beauty in almost everything?"
Well, anyway, I am getting off of my intended objective.
You see, my objective isn't to re-hash an incredible and monumental, picturesque display of a leader falling, but it is to show how the church is always distorting "Truth," concerning ministry. And after watching the movie, "Jesus Revolution," I see once again this pattern from the Historical perspective of "The Church."
In my last paper I placed a link showing a gathering of "Theologians," who all look as if they couldn't hold a candle up to Goober or Gomer, otherwise known as the Town of Mayberry's elite motor pool of mechanics.
I mean, if I were given the freedom, I think that I would suggest that they looked like a bunch of 'bumbling fools," who knew nothing concerning the "Spiritual Gifts," spoken about in the New Testament.
Seriously, it's a wonder to me, as to how their mother's released them to go out in public to speak.
The Big Theologians: https://youtu.be/28mD0xNTQs4
Okay, like I stated, "If I had the freedom..."
But seriously, my conscience has been bothering me ever since I posted the above "Clip," so I am not even going to suggest that these guys are "Bumbling fools," on this particular paper.
Nonetheless, today I was scouring the internet looking for some "Charismatic Theologians," who could give my audience a more down to Earth explanation concerning these highly intellectually fulfilling "gifts," which are freely offered by God to anyone.
Did I say anyone?
Yes, anyone, even children receive them daily!
The Little Theologians: https://youtu.be/4hS8ST5G_zg
Now, please understand the reason why I call them big and little theologians is because those younger guys probably have maybe a total Christian Walk of twenty-five to thirty-five years, whereas, looking at the group of Cessasionists, non-believers, ignorant buffoons, and such, perhaps have a "Claimed" walk of discipleship of what? Three hundred years?
Ahh right, four hundred years?
Well, I am sure you get my point though.
I have a question, "If all of a sudden America was instantly invaded and under a severe Persecution such as the Early Church suffered, "Who would you want to call to get 'spiritual advice' from?"
The old guys who haven't a clue concerning when and if 'miracles,' are for today?"
Or from some, "On Fire," young people who aren't afraid to step out in "Faith," trusting Jesus and trusting God to bring you out of captivity and into freedom?
I don't expect you to listen today, but please go back and listen to those links.
You see, they both describe the Church in America, but it is even worse than you think.
Nonetheless, I wanted to note that even these young people recognize that "AMERICAN," Christianity is even different than the Christianity in other Nations.
Please listen to their insight, it is precious to God that they can discern this.
I have only been trying to preach it for over forty years, but no other generation would acknowledge this.
Therefore, I have great "HOPE," for this latest generation.
Okay, but now, it is time for some truths, so if you are older than twenty-two, please go and get a box of Kleenex.
I watched the movie, "Jesus Revolution," and could I tell you some things that few will speak?
As is always the case, the American Church likes to glorify men and then to tell a story about how successful OUR "Stream," was.
They like to gloss over many parts without giving any type of explanation or facts when it comes to crucial events which happened.
Well, I am going to give you another interpretation of the Movie's ending. I hope that that will be alright to you and especially for those of you who are guilty of quenching the Holy Spirit of God for generations.
You see, I wasn't there, but I have no reason to doubt the facts that were presented on the movie. I arrived in Southern California, in 1980-81, maybe 81-82?
I can check later.
Nonetheless, I arrived at a world renown Charismatic School of the Bible, where Kathryn Kuhlman had spoke many times, David DuPlesis, and others who were the "Creme of the Crop," in the Charismatic Movement.
Most of those speakers were a few years earlier when the movement was at it's height. Nonetheless, there were still a few leaders and a number of speakers who would minister there.
There was one individual in particular who taught a class on "Cults." He was considered a world wide authority on "Cults." He had written a Best Seller on the subject and was looked up to in an eerie type of idolization by some at the school.
Because of his notoriety he also claimed to be a noted and great Theologian, in his own eyes. This was why he was able to convince perhaps half of the student body to question the validity of "tongues."
Quite honestly, he was an idiot on the things of God and especially of the "Gifts," of the Holy Spirit.
Much like a group of Yea-hoo Theologians, I recently witnessed on a "You Tube," clip.
Well, I believe that he found it difficult when there was one student who operated in the gifting, and at the same time, had a gift to amplify his voice at various assemblies and student meetings. Nevertheless, I mention it because he was just one out of many who were from SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, who became staunch enemies of the "Gifting," of God in that region.
About that same time, I was studying from men like Morris Cerullo, and T.L. Osborn, who would hold meetings in Africa and have as many as a half a million people show up at a crusade.
Sitting under their teaching there was a subject that was mutually spoken about. Later, I learned more of this understanding from both Lester Sumrall and Kenneth Hagin who was a world recognized Prophet.
Ephesians 6:12 New Living Translation
12 For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.
Based on Ephesians 6:12 these men would hold that there was a second heaven in between God's heaven or existence and the heaven immediately above us.
As examples, they would give the city of San Francisco, where it was a city filled with homo-sexuality. These men would hold that because of the Rulers, Authorities, Principalities, and Powers of a dark world above those regions a particular SIN, would flourish.
They believed likewise that Las Vegas, was ruled in the same way by authorities and rulers who would use gambling to steal, kill and to destroy men's and women's lives. Likewise Atlantic City.
Today, I believe that there are "spirits" of the dark world who are running our cities into the ground, and I am not specifically talking about the many "blue" cities filled with demon run politicians, but I am talking about in the heavenlies. "Spirits" who are anti law, anti Christ, and many are sponsored by demon filled billionaires who have nothing to do, but to sow evil, confusion and chaos to mankind.
Well, I can't say and I don't wish to speculate, but it was eerily reminiscent of Southern California to me, spiritually.
You see, in Southern California there was a constant "Warring in the heavenlies," concerning this issue of tongues, within the church.
Therefore, basing my taught knowledge concerning "Spiritual Matters," I had always wondered as to just exactly what type of "Spirits," were fighting in the heavenlies, over this area of always seeming revival of "Southern California?"
So, when I was watching the movie the other night, it did not surprise me to learn of a character in the movie, who was ostracized by Chuck Smith from Calvary Chapel.
You see, when Chuck Smith booted out Lonnie Frisbe, from Calvary Chapels, what he did was to throw out the "Baby with the Bathwater." At the end of the movie, we are told that “As of today there are one thousand Calvary Chapels in the United States,” or something close to that.
They also stated that "Lonnie Frisbe," later became a part of the Vineyard Church.
(I will come back to that concerning another observation.)
Nevertheless, what I want to point out is that in the movie, you see two references to "Being filled with the Holy Spirit," or accepting the "Holy Spirit," while filming around a Calvary Chapel service.
Well, allow me to clarify the stand which "Chuck Smith," took when he ousted Lonnie Frisbee from the Church.
Now, I am not familiar with the entire history, but I can tell you that I have been to numerous Calvary Chapel Churches. When I was in Miami South Beach for close to a year, I attended one there weekly, as there were no "Spirit Filled," churches in South Beach.
As a traveler in my early life and a truck driver all over the United States, I attended many others.
You see, I came to know Jesus through the gift of tongues, and when I pray, I almost always incorporate tongues in my Praise and Worship to God. Then many times in a service I will pray quietly to myself in tongues.
Some might find this humorous, but I couldn't begin to tell you how many times, I have been "Tapped," on the shoulder in those first ten or fifteen years of like Praying. Nonetheless, as I developed the gift, the taps got to be very few and far between. I think after the gift had developed through my experiences. (Being Pro-Active in Prayer) More and more people would just feel afraid to interrupt my praying, as it became something unique or even "Holy?"
You see, if you can pray and then you begin to sense the "Spirit of God," descending then the thought to be one of those great "theologians," from Southern California just seems to dissipate?
Do you know what I mean?
Nevertheless, what I am trying to say and what the movie did not imply was that Chuck Smith had more or less banned any Holy Spirit Gifting, to operate in his churches.
I have been personally told this by numerous members of the various Calvary Chapels around America.
And if I am not mistaken, I would assume as a close close disciple of Chuck Smith, the same could be true of the other guy who holds crusades indoctrinating hundreds of thousands if not millions to his same theology?
Perhaps, I am wrong?
Nevertheless, what I am trying to say is that in America, the Church around Southern California, has caused the Holy Spirit to be QUENCHED, through the doctrinal beliefs of just maybe five main anti “Holy Spirit gifting” or so Church Leaders. Therefore, it has resulted in many millions and millions to be dissuaded from following the commands of Jesus to accept the third person of the Trinity that he might become their personal friend.
Nonetheless, these few men had affected other men who would cross the country building fellowships and churches which “Preached” against the “Baptism of the Holy Ghost,” with the evidence of “Speaking in tongues.”
In a sense because of these “false Shepherds,” they are responsible for the state of ‘Spirituality,” in which America finds itself today.
For many, they made it a lifelong devotion of quenching the Holy Spirit of God, dissuading hundreds of thousands and perhaps millions of the close intimacy which Jesus longed to "gift," his closest disciples with.
Many of these false pastors were just "wolves in sheep clothing" out to steal, kill and to destroy the "Spiritual," life in which God wished to endow his people with.
Instead, they controlled congregations of Pew sitting followers to do nothing, but to sit week after week, year after year, to attend a weekly service and to finance their churches. None would ever do anything "spiritually," for the kingdom, as there was never a kingdom, just a building of brick and mortar which had to be maintained year after year.
These men along with many Charismatics who have distorted the purposes of God concerning the Baptism of the Holy Spirit are responsible for where America finds itself today.
False Shepherds, just as Paul predicted would enter the church when there was no discipline, but merely mankind's greed and control issues by the "Wolves" who were to slip in as "False Shepherds."
And please, don't give me any explanation, any excuse, any reasoning for it. The facts are as clear as can be, if one has not polluted their "Spiritual Mind," with decades of listening to these "wolves in sheep's clothing," or heretics, who turn people away from God.
And during these many decades, they all just keep on "Preaching," the church can do no wrong. God is pleased with the American church. Just look at our massive brick and mortar buildings, just look at the organizations in which we have created.
"OH, we just want to be like a fine-tuned Corporation."
Meanwhile, the people have been fleeing from the churches for decades. Even the children can see the hypocrisy of their parents, and if they even have darkened the doorway of a church?
Nevertheless, what I am trying to convey, what God has me writing these papers for is to finally open a few of your ears and to help you understand that God is not pleased with America or the church which America has claimed for its own.
This is not God's church of the model in which Jesus laid out in scripture.
I am sorry!
Wake up, oh sleeper!
Just look at the signs of the end times which Jesus told would come.
He says, "if you are smart enough to discern the weather patterns and to know what is coming, how can you be so stupid and to not understand the final days before the end?"
Nevertheless, as a Church your only goal is to get one hundred per cent of the congregation to "Tithe."
You see, the church is so consumed in America with finances, that it cares little of it's politics, it's crime, it's stance on abortion, nothing, we just want everyone to "Tithe," and we will be happy!
You see, as these young people spoke earlier about those past generations, they pointed out that it's all about me and business and money in America.
Well, welcome home to Church. All we need now are some leaders who can point us to the way.
So, here we have a few men who have devoted their lives to quenching the Spirit of God, and re-writing "Theology," or "Spiritual Matters," according to their dictates for the Church.
And I haven't even mentioned the "Angry Dog," yet.
In this man's something like sixty years of Preaching, he has caused multitudes of disciples to follow his "THEOLOGY," and probably millions of so-called Christians, to sit in a pew driven church whittling away their lives, so that in the end no one has a clue as concerning the Savior who bled and died and gave his life for all.
"But Hey, theologically we were right....I Think?"
Well, perhaps you can ponder that in hell while you suffer for eternity for misleading so many souls away from God?
Lastly, I want to tell a story about that guy in the movie called Lonnie Frisbee. Well, I don't know enough to tell about the man, but I will tell you this. The leader of "The Vineyard," movement was named John Wimber.
In the movie, it ends with a commentary on Lonnie Frisbee and says that "He later joined the Vineyard Movement."
Well, I have heard a lot about the man, not all good, but if he was responsible for encouraging John Wimber, then he was a major player in heaven's eyes.
You see, in heaven they don't make heroes out of cowards who tear down the churches or quench the Holy Spirit of God. No, in heaven, the full stories are told.
There is no "glorying," of deceitful and selfish men.
I have also been in a lot of "Vineyard Churches," over my lifetime in America, and they were pretty restrictive, as well.
Nonetheless, they didn't frown on an individual who wished to seek after that which Jesus commanded his disciples to seek after.
But I believe that one of John Wimber's greatest accomplishments was when he went to Europe. No, I didn't say when he got mixed up with a bunch of "Yah hoos," called the "Kansas City Prophets."
No, I bet he regretted that experience till his dying day?
Nevertheless, I have gone online and visited a number of "Vineyard Churches," in the UK, and Ireland.
Many of them still speak of the time when Wimber went there and preached and where signs followed.
I know that he also had a huge influence in a few of the "Church Of England," congregations.
One in particular was in England and was led by a Vicar known as Nicky Gumbel right there in London.
Following is from Google:
How many people have done the Alpha Course?
28 million people
More than 28 million people have attended the course worldwide, nearly five million in the UK, and many have become Christians as a result. Alpha's pioneer, the former barrister Nicky Gumbel, has won plaudits as a Billy Graham for the modern age.Jul 16, 2022
Please Note: This Alpha course teaches all about the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, how to receive it, and answers many questions. I haven't finished one, but I consider it similar probably to "The Life in the Spirit," class that was attended by millions during the "Catholic Charismatic," Revival.
The following is taken from Wikipedia:
Influenced by
Alpha's greatest influence came from the ministry of John Wimber, who visited Holy Trinity Brompton a number of times during the 1980s and 1990s. Nicky Gumbel's approach is linked to the Iwerne campus ministry of E. J. H. Nash,[18] an influential Anglican cleric who set out to evangelize "top boys at top schools"[19] and who organized summer camps at Iwerne Minster in Dorset.[20] David Fletcher, who took responsibility for the camps after Nash, described Alpha as: "basically the Iwerne camp talk scheme with charismatic stuff added on."[21] Rob Warner addresses both, when he says: "Alpha can ... Be summed up as [Nash] camp rationalistic conservatism combined with Wimberist charismatic expressivism ... This is a highly unusual, even paradoxical hybrid."[22]
You see, what I feel is that God is severely angry at what the Church has done to eliminate the fullness of the Power of "The Holy Spirit," from working in His Church. All over our nation we have individuals who are afraid of the Holy Spirit because of the pure and unadulterated CRAP that has been Preached from the American Pulpits by men influenced by "the spirit of anti-Christ."
You see, is it any wonder that so many charismatic ministries have all gone to extremes to manipulate the Holy Spirit. Is it any wonder that thousands and thousands of denominations, non-denominations, liturgical churches, Baptist Churches, and a thousand others have all quenched the Holy Spirit of God from operating in His own church?
And meanwhile, all of these Churches have preached that God has been so pleased with America???
That is a lie coming from so-called Clergy, who have never had a clue as concerning the "Spirit of God."
1 Corinthians 2:16 New Living Translation
16 For,
“Who can know the Lord’s thoughts?
Who knows enough to teach him?”
But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16 The Message
14-16 The unspiritual self, just as it is by nature, can’t receive the gifts of God’s Spirit. There’s no capacity for them. They seem like so much silliness. Spirit can be known only by spirit—God’s Spirit and our spirits in open communion. Spiritually alive, we have access to everything God’s Spirit is doing, and can’t be judged by unspiritual critics. Isaiah’s question, “Is there anyone around who knows God’s Spirit, anyone who knows what he is doing?” has been answered: Christ knows, and we have Christ’s Spirit.
1 Corinthians 2:16 Legacy Standard Bible
16 For who has known the mind of the Lord, that he will direct Him? But we have the mind of Christ.
I have been trying to tell the church for decades that God is not pleased with America. Finally, it came to a point where the Church makes a movie about glorifying those who have been responsible for quenching the Spirit of God, and then makes them as heroes, celebrating the fact that they openly acknowledge their SIN, on a wide screen.
Do you not understand what America has done to God's Church?
No, what I would suggest for any Church who has had reservations or fears over the Holy Spirit of God, is to contact the Alpha Network in England or wherever they are. Ask them to send a representative to your ministry who can explain the innocence and the love of the Father as displayed through the working of the Holy Spirit.
But America needs to REPENT first unto God. America needs to tell God, that we are sorry for the way that we have treated your Holy Spirit.
Who knows, perhaps, God will change His mind concerning the judgment which is at the threshold of the door in America.
We can only Pray!

You know, I was watching this Carrot Prank, along with others, and I am fascinated by the reactions of the People. In almost every case, the people are afraid to death it seems, yet the moment that it is over, it is almost as if they are "ELATED."
Well, I was thinking, this is much how the Holy Spirit Baptism is. At first you are afraid because you are entering the unknown. Nevertheless, once you are over the scare then the instrument sort of becomes your friend?
So, as I was meditating some what, I couldn't ever remember an individual who was baptized with the Power of the Holy Spirit and then started shouting, "I don't want this."
"Take this burden off of me." No, on the contrary people will laugh they will cry they will just drift off to a heavenly experience, but no one has ever been disappointed from receiving it.
Nevertheless, because of a number of cowardly False "Theologians," and many cowardly Baptist Preachers, who all stated that "Tongues had either ceased" or it was of the devil; we have had for a few centuries multitudes of the ignorant screaming at the top of their lungs in fear, whenever they sensed a six foot carrot was going to take hold of them and to never let them go?
And unfortunately, I am just talking about the clergy here, so can you imagine what these fearful Clergy has told their congregations where I was not able to hear?
"Yea, well, God heard, he'll be seeing you, my friends!"
Luke 11:11-13 New Living Translation
11 "You fathers-if your children ask for a fish, do you give them a snake instead? 12 Or if they ask for an egg, do you give them a scorpion? Of course not! 13 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him."
Matthew 7:9-11 New Living Translation
9 "You parents-if your children ask for a loaf of bread, do you give them a stone instead? 10 Or if they ask for a fish, do you give them a snake? Of course not! 11 So if you sinful people know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good gifts to those who ask him.

Post Script:
The following morning:
You know, there are many times when God will offer a ministry to an individual, yet if that individual shows signs where he or she is not going to be "Faithful," then God will take that opportunity away from the person and to give the ministry to another.
For years, Kathryn Kuhlman stated that "She was not God's first choice," for her unique ministry. In fact, she might have even claimed that she was His second or even third or fourth choice. Over my forty years of following the Lord, I have heard very similar stories of other men and women who were greatly used of God.
Well, that is what I believe happened in America. God visited America and He offered the "Huge Blessing," to the churches outside of the charismatic realm, yet many were afraid or had other motives in not being interested of this wonderful Gift from the Almighty.
Therefore, God allowed John Wimber to take this "Ministry," of the Holy Spirit into another Nation where it was welcomed gladly.
Can you imagine twenty-eight million people have finished the "Alpha Course," and many received the personal gifting of the Holy Spirit in a greater measure of their lives.
Meanwhile, back in America we have had many more than twenty-eight million people turned away from this wonderful "Gift" of God, and ever since those days, America has only declined in almost every "Spiritual," way.
Well, it has gotten so bad, that I personally along with millions of others, no doubt, even wonder if America can survive or ever get out of this moral decline in which it finds itself in?
I believe that we are a Nation just existing until the judgment of God is fulfilled and perhaps "One day, we may even see our children carried away to exile from a nation, such as China."
Don't laugh, this could one day be a real possibility if America does not get it right with the Almighty God."
You see, the Bible declares that in the last days, "They will be eating and drinking and not even knowing the times in which they are living."
For God to send a Fore Runner, or to fulfill the various signs in which are written all through the Bible will be totally a foreign idea to these people.
Nevertheless, and then it says suddenly, "The Flood came."
Speaking, of course, of Noah's time.
Likewise, though, shall it happen again.
And all the time, the people will be eating and drinking, partying and going out to eat, then suddenly, as in the days of Noah...
Well, what do you expect?
They will be rejecting God just as they had rejected Jesus, two thousand years ago, just as they had rejected Noah some couple thousand years before they had rejected Jesus. And here we find ourselves again where these same likeminded people reject the Holy Spirit of our day!
You see, these are the last days!

September eleventh, 24
Truth confirmed by signs following:
The other day I was on "You Tube," and I saw this clip concerning a Calvary Chapel pastor and another guest who was invited to speak at his church. Well, apparently, they weren't aware that the woman was a Charismatic, or one who believed in "Miracles," for today.
Well, many times I write on my observations and experiences in the "Church," yet people don't always believe me.
In those cases, often the Holy Spirit will follow my preaching with signs following just as he did with Jesus to the Pharisees abd unbelievers.
So, a few weeks ago, I wrote about this movie called "The Jesus Revolution," and pointed out how the Church or lying media, as we have today, will make "heroes of cowards" that have feared the Holy Ghost, and then much of history is covered up.
I wrote the truth when I stated that I had been told by numerous Calvary Chapel Church members that Chuck Smith had banned all influence of the Holy Spirit's gifting, and no one has since ever corrected the fact to me. In Calvary Chapels, the Holy spirit as the Bible defines Him, is as much as "Anathema," from my perspective of this church's acceptance of him.
So, what I am saying is that the next time you watch this "Movie," and get all "goose bumpy;" please try to remember the following clip and understand that this is how these heroes have treated anyone who for the last fifty years has shown any kind of "Giftings," through the Holy Spirit of God that would dare walk in their church.
Funny though, I have always believed that those types of places were God's church.
And that is what is wrong with the whole system Charismatic or not, but that's for another day.
For you see, "I have been there and done that," to so many places which pretend to be a "Church," that I could write a book.....Ooops, I am sorry, I have already done that!
The following is a clip of a Calvary Chapel Pastor treating a charismatic individual as a heretic and then renounces her to his congregation because, "She believes and preaches miracles."
Therefore, please understand that for fifty or sixty years this has been the Protocol of the heroes of "The Jesus Revolution."
Just a bunch of sweet guys who like to worship Jesus in sandals and 'Blackjacks,' hanging out of their back pockets.
"Wonderful people you just have to get to know them....but Not to close, ya know what I mean?

Added Note: I guess that I was wrong, I thought that the Calvary Pastor had invited the woman to speak at his church. Well, apparently she had her own tent, and this Pastor jealous of a few of his members showing at an old fashioned Tent Revival, deceitfully gains a speaking moment where he denounces this woman to the whole crowd.
Well, what was her crime again,? She was preaching about things which only God can give, yet he knew nothing about.
What a strange Church that we have erected in our minds in America?
Nevertheless, this defines the American church, as well, we don't define scriptural practices or traditions by scripture, but rather by "How we feel it ought to be," in God's house.
And just so long as you can do that with a persuassive argument, then that is how it is.
If we can convince you today that the New Testament teaches that everybody "Give," to their local Church, then by God that's what we do. Because somewhere "gal darn it," the Bible proves that the "Storehouse," is the local church.
Just like in Malachi, you know where all the israelites were to bring the food that the "poor would be fed," so like in a city, town or village, where a catastropic event takes place and there are hundreds of people who suddenly find themselves homeless.
Well, you are then more than ever responsible to bring all of your resources into the church. Let the RED CROSS, fill the FOOD BANKS, and Relief Efforts, but YOU, well YOU bring in all of your wealth into the STOREHOUSE, (Which the BIble has got to have said at least ten thousand times that it is the "local Church." Nonetheless, I still haven't found one passage which defines that?
