A spirit of strong delusion has been released and so I do not expect that very many will heed my warning and "come out of the organized church." The usual platitudes are "well, the church is not perfect and no one should expect Her to be because people are not perfect." These are the "go along to get along" folk. They spout lots of Rodney King's "can't we just get along?" platitudes. Anyone who speaks a word considered devisive is shunned as an embittered troublemaker. And that's how churchgoers defend their own spiritual blindness.
As for me, I "know" organized church reeeeeeal well. In ministry since Oct.25, 1981, I am aware of the ins and outs of church bureaucracy, practices and doctrines. Along the way, I pastored three churches, one of which I myself founded in 1996. Nevertheless, once the Lord revealed to me 'the state of the organized church', after 12 years as its pastor and its founder, I closed it.
In a nutshell, after studying church history for a year and completing the book called "The Fake Jesus: Fallen Angels Among Us," I was shocked at what I learned. When I tell people that as a former pastor, I no longer will even step inside a church building to attend either a funeral or a wedding, folk reply, "Oh, the church is not perfect but people have to "assemble themselves together" cause the bible says so, right?" Well this is how I respond:
1. Over 20 centuries, invisible fallen entities---religious devils---have gradually yet persistently taken over the organized church====from the pulpit to the pew. Even good churches with faithful pastors and members are not exempt. Jesus foretold it in the parable about the small mustard seed that turned into a huge monstrocity, where the birds came and dwelt in its "many branches." The branches are the numerous sects, cults and denominations and Jesus goes on further to explain to His disciples that the birds are "demons."
2. The Holy Spirit has left and God has released "strong delusion" that Paul warned the Thessalonian Christians about. Once the Holy Ghost had been sufficiently grieved and quenched, He left. In fact, when I came into the church in 1979, He had already departed the place. I walked into a denomination that was completely corrupt, from the Bishops on down.
3. The organized church has become a harlot ---a major part of Mystery Babylon with its idolatrous doctrines, departing from the faith and giving heed to the teachings of seducing spirits, aka religious demons. The worst of the doctrines is the one that teachings that "we accept Jesus." Also, very few churchgoers understand repentance and the resurrection. Without an understanding of both, salvation is not possible. So the church is filled with "nice people" who look saved but for the most part, THEY ARE NOT.
4. And last but certainly not least, don't forget the plagues. If the organized church is the "Her" of Revelation 18:4, then anyone who continues stay in "her" is in danger of receiving the plagues. To know more about them, I suggest you read "Come Out of Her, God's People."
The true BODY of Christ is perfect because ALL in Her are saved. The reason why there is no perfection in the organized church is because most who attend are not saved. Since the vast majority are not saved, how can you distinguish the true elect of God from the counterfeits---yet another reason why "gathering together is unsafe."
Who can really discern a true Christian within the HARLOT?
Can YOU?! I pastored for two decades and when I look back, I'm not sure if I ever personally ministered to a BONAFIDE CHILD OF GOD.
