Can I encourage you as your brother in Christ? Test all things.
[ 1 John 4:1 - Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. ]
Jesus warned us that in the last times there will be many false teachers and false prophets...
Don't just assume that because someone talks "about God" that they are sent from God. Test the "fruit" of their life.
Do they call sin as it is - or do they cleverly excuse it so as not to offend and create a larger crowd? Don't be fooled, God is often not in the crowd.
Do they merchandise "the gospel" and get rich from the house of God? Keep in mind Jesus had no house or any possessions and the disciples that became the apostles (sent ones) that carried the gospel to us the gentiles also were so often penniless.
Remember the statement "Silver and Gold I do not have but what I do have I give to you... In the Name of Jesus - Rise up and walk!" Jesus drove out of the temple those making gain from God's house. Riches and Corruption are so often synonymous.
Do these heralded teachers help set people free and show them the truth? Do they expose the evil that so often exists in us as the demonic entities they are that need to be cast out as Jesus clearly instructed - or do they treat it just like the world does? As emotional or physiological conditions? Do they reveal the true nature of so many diseases that plague us in our 21st century western world? Or are they just popping pills like the world and blatantly ignoring the power of the Name of Jesus to heal?
Do they really see what's going on in this world today or are they the "blind leading the blind" as Jesus called the false leaders of His day?
Do they attack any and all forms of holiness and right living and instead promote corruption and a misunderstood perversion of God's Grace? Remember... Grace enlightens us to live better, not stay the way we are. Do they teach and live transformed lives and show they are the 'New Creations' that Jesus spoke of?
Do they invite the world to come to know Jesus and give them the true message of salvation in all its bloody, gruesome details? Do they tell the full story that Jesus came to save us from our sins? Do they teach about a Jesus that came to destroy the works of the devil? Do they even mention the devil at all?
Have they used "God's love" as a catch-all to include everyone in their thronging congregations? Is the church a place or prayer or is it a rehearsed stage show run by polished actors?
Are they "friends" with the world and do they look, speak and sound just like the world? Or have they "come out and become separate" as God asks and expects us to be as His children? Remember... Jesus said "Be holy as your Heavenly Father is holy"
Look for the money trail my brothers and sisters. The love of money is the root of all evil. Where the money flows the evil grows...
Ask God for wisdom and He will make it very easy to see. He can guide even a little child to avoid the harm of this corruption.
It's now sweeping the globe at an alarming rate. Nearly everywhere I look now in the Church this infestation of corruption has spread like a cancer eating away at the souls of men and women. It always has links. Pray and God will reveal them to you.
This is not an excuse to become cold, cynical, negative, suspecting, harsh Christians who tear down everything - instead it is a call to become wise and discerning. Remember, the Bible says "do everything in Love". Test things for your own sake and for the ones you love so you don't get caught up in this and get hurt.
And if you don't think it's going to hurt - trust me when I say I've seen where this leads and what it let's into your life and your home. These things won't stop with just you, they'll keep destroying until there's nothing left to destroy. Your finances, your relationships, your children, your future, your peace, your sanity and even your lives.
I dont write these things to scare you, I write them because even though I've never met you I care about you in the love of Christ. I want no gain from you and I get nothing for writing this. I am simply a servant of God and I obey when He asks me to write to you.
I want no one to suffer the things I have seen presently and things to come.
Ask God to open up your spiritual eyes and He will.
Trust in Him alone as so many of the Psalms tell us.
God loves you.
