Hey Pastor John,
Tonight, when you first started preaching, I couldn’t understand everything you were saying, but it felt so good in my spirit. I kept thinking, “Oh, Jesus, this is so good! Let me take it in! Help me understand!” Then it started turning in my soul: the spirit of Antichrist is low-down, conniving coward! It will lie and cheat, but it will also bring you flowers and tell you everything your flesh wants to hear. But stay close to Jesus, and that thing will stink; you’ll be able to smell it a mile away! It felt so good to know we’ve been taught the truth and to know what we’ve been given. I stood up before I even realized it, it just felt so good!
Good night!

Good morning, John,
I read these verses in Jeremiah Chapter 2 this morning and it’s God pleading through Jeremiah for his children to come back to him, but it reminded me of what we read and what you taught us last night:
vs 7: But I brought you to this garden-land, that you might eat of its fruit and its goodness. But you went in and defiled my land. Yea, you made my inheritance an abomination.
vs 11:…my people have exchanged their glory for that which will not profit.
vs 12, 13: Be appalled, O heavens, at this! Yea, be horrified, and devastated, said the LORD! For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the fountain of living water, to hew out for themselves broken cisterns which hold no water”.
That was hundreds of years ago, and yet, nothing has changed! ….God’s children have exchanged their glory (the Holy Ghost), for Christianity with its rituals and doctrines that will profit them nothing! They have made their inheritance an abomination.
Jesus is still calling His children out of that abomination of desolation back to Him!
We should be appalled and horrified and devastated about the way Christianity has turned the hearts of God’s people away from the very fountain of living water, and for what? Broken cisterns, which hold no water! Oh God! Help us!
My prayer is that I hate that thing and what it’s done to God’s children as much as God hates it.
