Pastor John:

Looking at that zodiac site and some others I found has shown me so clearly one truth that Satan will never allow his ministers to use. Different ones of them have certain pieces of truth; they have worked out prophetic stuff that appears quite amazing, they read the prophets with fine tooth combs, but you know they just cannot read [and understand] 1John at all [concerning the spirit of antichrist].

It seems all Christian ministers synonymise the Antichrist with the Beast. They, perhaps correctly, speak of New World Orders, the zodiac and other star signs and conspiracies and Satanic counterfeits [and from left field, pyramids on Mars!!!???] but none teach that the greatest counterfeit of all is Spiritual and involves “fake passports” to enter the body of Christ. These people so quickly read over the word “antichrist” [and John’s definition of it], substituting Satan’s attention-shifting redefinition that they miss it completely. And, of course, if you say something to them, you are part of Satan’s work against their “divinely ordained ministry”.

The day God gives you or whomever the power to really preach this to the world, “hell” will break loose. Satan will be furious to say the least when the truth about the body the Christ, and what it is, and how you get into it are made known widely and loudly.

Interesting days to come.

Yes, I agree. The truth about the new birth will be the key to God’s children realizing that they must come out of Christianity, if they want to be united in the Christ, if they want to please God, and if they want to serve Jesus in spirit and in truth. Satan seems to be able to endure almost any of the blessings God gives His people except the truth. The truth is what makes us free, and the truth is what binds the prince of darkness.

Oh, God, help Your people! Trying to open their eyes, Jesus has, instead, infuriated many of his own children by sending them messengers with his truth for them. They do not recognize the love of God when they see it because love, too, has been redefined by Satan’s ministers. (Have you ever heard the first sermon that I preached, in 1993, after Jesus revealed the truth about Christianity to me? It is called “Destruction by Redefinition”).

Solomon said that the man who increases in wisdom increases in sorrow. How true that is! It is a precious blessing to have our eyes opened by Jesus to understand the truth of the gospel, but then, it hurts to see the condition of our brothers and sisters. But what can we do? Many of them will die defending Satan’s right to be in the body of Christ.

Listening to the tape on 2Pet2. Thinking about speaking evil of dignities it occurred to me that Xtny doesn’t even speak true things about Satan let alone the things of God.

We are enjoying the food the Lord is providing right now!

That is true. Satan lies about himself as well as God. It wouldn’t sake sense for him to do anything else.

Hello Pastor John,

I and OFS had some bible study on Sunday the 21/10/01. OFS told me he had some questions that he would like to ask, so when we had time alone at home we studied. We looked over 1 John 4 regarding the issue of Christianity being the antichrist and in addition to what we have heard from the you on tape, it was such a blessing when we could read them out from the bible ourselves. One part that really touched me was the explanation of the words “every spirit that CONFESSETH that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh”. We had some problem with the word confesseth as we have known that word to mean by Christian standard to verbalize something without being moved by His Spirit. The confusion and burden was lifted when we look up the word (confess) in the concordance and it says that it means to Acknowledge. Also we looked up the reference in the verse where the above quote was taken (1 John 4:2b) which was in 1 Corinthians 12:3, it showed us that to confess Christ means to “speaking by the Holy Ghost”. Again I am left with wonder where these Christians get their meaning to words like confess Christ and accept Christ from.

We also read Romans 10:9 which is the most popular verse that the Christians quote to say that if one confess his sins and accept Christ, he shall be saved. The first word that we noted there is the word SHALL (future tense). Does it not mean that even if their definition of confess is correct, that one does not get saved as soon as he confess (but shall be saved). As we dwelt on that Romans 10:9-10 thinking if the Christians were correct after all, the Spirit made us to read further down some verses. It was when we read it to verse 17 that we discovered that there is more to it than the eyes of the Christians could see. Verses 9-17 is like a ladder. The word Confess is at the top of the ladder. The Christians do not see the other items from the bottom of the ladder which one must climb (pass through first before getting to the top. They did not see that 1) sent from God, 2) to preach the Word of God not bible 3) the Word will be heard by people in other to believe; 4) believing then will make the person to call on the Lord (pray); 5) sincere call from the heart of the sinner will be answered by God’s righteousness 6) God’s righteousness (His Spirit) will then confess (acknowledge) to such a one that truly that It (Holy Spirit) has arrived in the soul of that person.

Among other things, we saw the true meaning of “and how shall they preach, except they be sent?” in verse 15. Christian ministers use that verse to collect money from people to send out some people whom they call missionaries to preach their denominational gospel and not that of Jesus. Here we discovered that “except they be sent” means that except the Father anoints on to preach His word, such a one is not sent.

Brother J. O. E.:

You are learning much, and well. Keep it up.

You will be interested to learn that the phrase “calling on the name of the Lord” is a Biblical phrase that refers to something that man cannot do without God’s help. According to Zephaniah 3:9, the holy Spirit must inspire even that.
