In this day and age we tend to gloss over things. Much to the chagrin of those who know truth, people today are force fed men’s knowledge and answers. When men need to know the Savior and his power, we have the church in its convenient truth bringing in psychologists, sociologists, and medicines to nurture those with troubled souls. Jesus knew of this tendency of men. When Nicodemus came to him, he told this man that he needed to be born again, not by the will of man. That is, not through mans diatribe discourses, teachings, or thoughts, neither through the local membership in the church, nor through any other known means of man. It was to be a pure supernatural and God given experience. It was to be through the will of God and not man, by the Spirit of God and not the spirit of man.

John 3:5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Even today as the prophetic events continue to ramp up in speed, intensity, and bring forth troubling times upon America, the church continues in its age old quest to dumb down events and prophetic warnings. While people play church, give heed to familiar spirits, and even look the part, the truth is, power is gone from most churches. If you want a doctor, then the church is the place to go. They have a doctor, probably good ones, plus lawyers, and all the modern help known to man. The one thing most churches lack is power, this is not the carnal nonsense in most meetings today where people just stand around and shake, look silly, and profess it to be God. This is the true power of the LORD, where prayers and deliverance are the key word for those who need help. It is deliverance by the Holy Spirit in response to a heartfelt cry to God. God delivers his people from their sins, making it possible for them to live in the Spirit, not following the lusts of the flesh. The carnal church is not the answer, the supernatural power of the LORD God who delivers the most ardent sinner from his sins and lusts so he can obtain forgiveness and walk in the spirit, this is the truth many in the church fail to find or see occur.

We have the best educated ministers in the world. They have and hold the finest positions on earth in the biggest corporate business in the world. This is religious doctrine, teaching, and churchianity. It is here in the everyday world of the organized church we find that mans answer to what the gospel really is can be found. Far from the true gospel we have prosperity, ethics, social change, sciences, and man’s knowledge at the forefront. It is in the midst of this modern church that we can find the epitome of man’s arrogance and pride. We have cushioned pews, golden crosses, images, paintings, huge buildings, organized structural religious activities, and all within the confines of a 401 c3 corporate tax write off. The church today is big business don’t let anyone tell you any different.

But despite what you may think, the facts are plain. The church may full, may be rich, and may say it has an impact, but the truth be told, the Salt has lost its savor, and the light has dimmed in the saints of God. It is the true Laodacian church found in Revelation Chapter 3.

Over 90% of Americans, men and women alike, admit to having had pre-marital sex. This Guttmacher Institute study of more than 38,000 men and women reveals “99% of the respondents had sex by age 44, and 95% had sex before marriage.” Even among those who abstained until age 20, 80% had pre-marital sex by age 44. 1

“Christian” Sex - Sex has become “lord,” dictating both belief and behavior. 3

1. 2/3 of “Christian” singles admit they are not virgins.
2. B. 61% of those students who signed sexual abstinence cards that “True Love Waits” admit breaking their pledge, but of the remaining 39% who say they kept their pledge, 55% had oral sex and did not consider it to be “sex.” A similar percentage of professed

6. 40% of “Christian” women and 60%-70% of “Christian” men admit seeking out pornography.
7. 37% of pastors admit they struggle with Internet pornography.
8. The vast majority of pastors and people have overturned the historical convictions of both Protestant and Catholic churches, authorizing and practicing divorce and remarriage (while the spouse is still living), even though Jesus clearly proclaimed such to be “adultery” as did the Apostle Paul. Christianity Today’s “Evangelicals Rethinking Divorce” reveals how pervasive the wholesale abandonment of historic Christian teaching is. Here is the clearest expression of apostasy, revealed in belief and behavior.

Revelation 3:14 ¶And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
19 As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.

The nation today is full of a generation of kids who are taught by teachers that have been following a role model of Whorish designs. They openly teach children that sex, any kind of sex, i.e. bi-sexual, homosexual, pre-marital, is okay. What’ s more the schools defy traditional creationism, prayer as unto a Christian God, denial of tenets of Christianity, and even promote other religions over Christian ideals. We are now in our third possibly fourth generation in the school system that has been pushing an anti God platform, separation of so called church and state, and the neutral ideals which bring forth a cultural paganism in its children.

The Congress of the United States voted a resolution in 1782 which approved the use of the Holy Bible in all schools. It not only approved the use but in fact recommended it. Then in 1963 the Supreme Court outlawed Bible reading in our public school system saying it was “unconstitutional” further explaining “If portions of the New Testament were read without explanation, they could and have been psychologically harmful to children.”
Go to any mall in America today and you will see kids that make the turn on, tune in, and drop out generation of the 60’s look pale in comparison. It is not uncommon to see kids of the same sex hanging on each other, kissing, and being faithful to the schools teaching that anything goes. The kids who do have opposite sexual partners, do just that, have sex at a very early age. In addition, we find tattoos, piercing, cursing, and the paganism that accords Rome or Babylon, or even Corinth. There is no doubt today America has taken a corner in the true Babylonian culture that today is the accepted norm, even among churches that cannot stress holiness or pursue such.

Moreover, the point in this exercise of futile idolatry and fornication is for the pleasure of those in the society whose laws allow it and even promote it. This is the Babylon of the New Testament. That place where there is no law. The only rule of law is that “there is no law” against it. It is okay, there is now an openness that will allow the chaos which is in our nation to become worse. That chaos will lead to the entering in of the God of Chaos. This is the ‘son of perdition’ in 2 Thessalonians. There is one Rule of law this nation and its people forget, that is the Eternal Rule of the Eternal God in heaven. He holds all nations accountable for their rules, laws, and legislations. He holds all those who govern in these nations as accountable to Him for their rebellion. Make no mistake; God will judge the nation and the wicked that forget God.

2 Thessalonians 2:7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders.

In the latter times, people will depart from the faith, seducing spirits, doctrines of devils!

1 Timothy 4:1 ¶Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

It is now that those who are the Lords own need to truly stand up. They must be salt and light. They must be the ones who can offer deliverance to a generation of kids and young people who saw carnal preachers, Christians, and observed the greed that went with the teachings these people followed and still do. Money will not deliver these kids. Pseudo brilliant teachers with a glitz and a huge following will not deliver these kids. Mans knowledge, sciences, and abilities will only go so far, they only can cover the hurts, mask the trouble, and not be a final solution to it. They also cannot provide the power needed for the person to walk in the carnal free walk of the Christian that walks in the spirit. The only permanent, trustworthy, and powerful agent of change in men’s lives today is the delivering power of the LORD God through His Spirit. It is supernatural, it is permanent, and it brings glory from heaven to the soul and a son ship with the Father. This is what the troubled souls in America need today. But all they have now are a ship full of holes, a ship full of fools who deny God, and a ship full of Idolaters. The Lord will bring down all such ships, to save the remnant and those who call upon him for help.

The Spirit of Disobedience: walking in uncleanness and rebellion
Ephesians 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:

Ephesians 5:5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them.

Colossians 3:5 ¶Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
6 For which things”””””””” sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:

Do not possess your vessel in the passion of lust as Gentiles who do not know God do!

2 Corinthians 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;
19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
20 Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ”””””””’’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.
21 For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
