The term 'falling away', or as it is called in some texts,
'apostasy' means; to depart from revealed truth, to lead away, seduce, mislead;
to defect, to blind the eyes of the people by manipulating the truth; to turn
one from the truth by lying signs and wonders. With this definition in mind,
let us go on.
In Matthew, chapter 24 and verses 4-12, the Lord Jesus
Christ specifically warns all about this time which is coming and there are
many people still waiting for it to happen. Their eyes have been blinded to all
that has happened over the past 20 years, and in fact, is still happening. They
have been desensitized to what they can see right in front of their faces; so
much so that they can no longer discern right from wrong, the holy from the
unholy, the pure from the profane.
Television assails us with violence, all manner of adultery
and sexual immorality, foul language and the so-called 'alternative'
lifestyles. The music of today spews out a message of hatred of all that is
clean, pure and orderly. Gang violence is glorified. Rebellion is the norm and
with the exception of a few courageous souls, people seem to be willing to turn
their heads and look the other way. The sixties was a time of extremes, many of
which were also evil and corruptive, but at least the people of that era had
the guts to speak out and even demonstrate against those things that they felt
were wrong.
Many men and women of God have indeed spoken out against the
movement from the pits of Hell which has invaded the Body of Christ like a
cancer, yet the majority of people keep right on following their 'blind
guides'; those who call themselves pastors, leaders of the church, or even,
shepherds of the flock.
The thing that disturbs me the most is, no one appears to have any fear of either the Lord or of Hell any longer. The Word of God clearly tells us that millions of those who claim to be Christian will stand before God and be truly surprised when Jesus says to them, "Away from Me, I never knew you." These people will plead their cases to Him and tell Him of all of the great and wonderful things they did in His Name, but though they may have fooled the masses while they were on earth, they cannot and will not be able to fool the King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
The place to be is not always where the crowds are
gathering. We must remember it is the wide road that leads to destruction and
Hell and there will be many who follow it.
It is the narrow path that leads to everlasting life, and
there will be few that find it. (See Matthew 7:13-14. Many worship their dead relatives, Buddha,
Krishna, the sun, or whatever they deem as a deity. There are those who do
worship Jesus; however they put Him in the company of every false god there is.
No matter that this is expressly forbidden in the Word of God.
It is horrifying to look at the number of men and women
being ordained and sent forth from the different denominational churches (with
their blessings), that are preaching and teaching erroneous, even demonic
doctrines, prophesying falsely and overtly misleading multitudes of people,
mostly for the sake of financial gain or media coverage.
Brothers and sisters, I am very much afraid that far too
many people have been desensitized by the constant barrage of trash that
pervades our lives in the form of television programs, movies, magazines,
music, video games and even the toys we allow our children to play with. We can
no longer see the truth, much less deal with it effectively. But Jesus tells us
to do something 'while it is yet light, for night is coming' when no one will
be able to do anything. And, my friends, it is coming sooner than anyone seems
to realize.
It is time to stand up and be counted on the side of Christ.
Or you can just sit there and continue to say and do nothing, and when that
great day arrives, and we stand before Jesus, and look into those eyes of fire
- you will hear the words that will bring dread to your heart - "away from
Me, I never knew you. The Falling away
from the Church is taking place and to some it is a “good thing”. To me it is SCRIPTURE COMING TO PASS !!!
Come on people - open your eyes; look around you. Hear what
the Spirit is saying unto the church. How much more could the so-called
'church' of today do to offend the Lord? How much further away from God will
they get? (Actually, there really isn't much further they could get). There is
no damnable heresy left to preach that they are not already preaching. Yes, the
churches of today are filled with false teachers and false prophets, preaching
and teaching a doctrine of demons; seducing the weak minded, the fat, lazy and
unconcerned multitudes that warm the pews every Sunday and Wednesday night,
denying the power of God and using godliness as a means to financial gain.
Homosexuals and lesbians stand in the pulpits as ordained
ministers while carefully choreographed dancers and singers entertain the
sleeping masses and lull them into a facsimile spirit filled with prompted
praise liken to a rap concert.
Yet still others build glass monuments unto themselves by allowing their
faithful parishioners to buy panes of glass at $1000.00 per pane, for which
they receive a brass plaque with their name on it stuck on the end of a pew,
then have the audacity to call it a 'house of worship unto the Lord.' They
preach mind over matter, positive thinking, speak it into existence, and divine
health (not divine healing) and prosperity, while making regular visits to
their doctor so they can get the medication they need to cure the illnesses
they have, and regular visits to their banker to take out loans to finance the
lavish lifestyle they want you to believe God wants them to lead.
They encourage the worship of dead relatives, the worship of
the saints and apostles, the worship of Mary, in fact, the worship of almost
anyone or anything.
A while ago I heard one of the main 'religious leaders' of
today make a statement which typifies his entire denominational belief structure.
He stated, and I quote - "if a married man died while having intercourse
with a whore and had once been 'saved' in the Baptist church, he would go
straight to heaven," yet the One who created the heavens and the earth,
the Living and Almighty, one true God (who set forth the rules and regulations
for entering into that blessed everlasting and glorious place), tells us that
'outside are the...adulterers and the sexually immoral.'
This same man blatantly and consistently denies the power
and move of the Holy Spirit, and attributes the move of God to the Devil
(which, to my understanding is blasphemy of the Spirit.) The largest cult in
the world worships Mary, the mother of Jesus, granting her equal status with
God and encouraging others to do the same. Have they never read Jeremiah,
chapters 7 and 44?
Will God not put a stop to these money-grubbing promoters of
this demonic 'gospel' of self-indulgence and complacency? Will He not lift His
mighty hand to smite these workers of iniquity? Scripture tells us YES He will,
and soon. Only one thing remains: REPENT OF YOUR SINS!
Acknowledge the truth
and draw nigh unto God, for the Day of the Lord is at hand, and the door will
be closed sooner than you think. May the
burden of the Lord and the fire of the Holy Spirit grow and burn brightly
within each one that would seek a deeper relationship with our Lord and Savior,
Jesus Christ.
