YOU have an UNCTION from the Holy One, and YOU know all things. Yes, God did say that in 1 John 2:20. Are you witnessing devils being cast out and the host of hell fleeing before you? That is what this little book is about.
First of all, I want to thank our good friend, Brother Henry Gruver, for allowing us to reproduce a good size part of his Prayer Walker’s Handbook as the Appendix of this little book. Henry’s great book not only gives so many important confirmations, but also gives the nuts and bolts, where the rubber meets the road, of the practical outworking of walking in the manifest power of God to bind and loose, and remit or retain. Henry has written 4 books and I would most highly recommend all 4 of them. Certainly any well-equipped home library should have Henry’s classic books. There is a link to Henry’s website and catalogue on the GJiGT website. There are also 4 of Henry’s radio interviews and visions on the GJiGT website. I am confident that as you read the section of Henry Gruver’s book in the Appendix of this little book, that you will see the practical outworking of walking in the manifest power of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The importance of the translation of the seven man prayer team, which Henry led to Rome in 1988, could hardly be overemphasized. There was to be a direct confrontation and BINDING, of TWO of Lucifer’s most powerful Black Angles guarding the LIES of Vatican Roma. The unction of the apostolic anointing the Lord intended for EVERY BELIEVER, had been effectively bound by Vatican Roma, for at least 1500 years, by Vatican Roma’s universally accepted great LIES. Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
There are a number of reasons why only a very few know anything about binding and loosing remitting and retaining. Most know very little about the manifest power of God being evident in their life every day. This is one of the sad bad fruits of dispensational theology, which teaches that when the period was put on the last Amen of Revelation, all miracles stopped. However, there are also some BIG LIES, some at least 1500 years old, so universally taught, that no one even seems to consider WHY God’s power is not manifested. Only the TRUTH can set us free from any form of bondage. We will not be fully submitted to God while we walk in lies and deception, even if everyone seems to believe and teach the lies as being true. These great lies of Vatican Roma have almost everyone in some form of bondage. We will be putting the light of truth on the lies, which prevent us from such a walk that witnesses the manifest power of God and gives glory to the Lord Jesus Christ. IT WILL BE DIFFICULT, but please take the time to study this all carefully. This little book covers how we become more fully submitted to God.
James 4:7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. That submission to God comes first. This book is not a light read. There will be prayer and searching of the Scriptures to see if these things be so. However, that is the purpose of this book, to set you free to be fully submitted to God. When we are submitted to God, we THEN can take the battle to the gate, and witness the host of hell flee from before us. That will seem automatic if we do learn the fear of God and walk in fullness of submission to Him.
THERE ARE TWO APOSTOLIC ANOINTINGS
Paul explains walking in this manifest power of God as GOING ON TO PERFECTION in Hebrews chapter 6. There are TWO apostolic anointings. One of them is for EVERY single BELIEVER. YES, YOU HAVE AN APOSTOLIC ANOINTING, AN UNCTION FROM THE HOLY ONE. The other apostolic anointing is a very specific anointing on just 12 men, who will have their names written on the 12 foundations of New Jerusalem. The special apostolic anointing of those 12 was to have absolute infallibility in the proclamation of the Gospel, and establishing the Doctrine of Christ, which is the Doctrine of the Apostles. That special anointing of the twelve was unique to them, and NOT transferable. No Roman pope ever did have, or ever will have, that special apostolic anointing of the twelve. We do not need new apostles with new doctrines. Rather we need to get back to that perfection in the gospel, and sound doctrine of THE Faith, which was ONCE delivered unto the saints by those twelve.
Why is it that so few even know about their unction from the Holy One, their apostolic anointing? (Mark 16:9-20 THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THOSE WHO BELIEVE, in the Name of Jesus we are to cast out devils and see many wonderful manifestations of His power for His glory. There are some very BIG Lies of Vatican Roma, some older than 1500 years, that have been so universally taught that people do not even begin to consider their unction from the Holy One, their common apostolic anointing. In this little book we will be looking into the Mystery of the Ages, Christ in you, the Hope of Glory, and therefore the foundations of our faith MUST be checked and reinforced as we see how to be more fully submitted to God to resist the devil and see him flee from before us.
In addition to the examples Henry Gruver provides of walking in this manifest power of God, I should remind you of the testimony of Brother Victor Kristina. The seven part audio series will teach you so much regarding this in a most enjoyable and interesting way. Few have heard such a powerful testimony of the teaching and effect of application of these principles of being submitted to God and resisting the devil as we hear in Brother Victor’s testimony found on the GJiGT website. “The Lord said, all these children are coming out.”
The times of this ignorance of the unction of the apostolic anointing for all BELIEVERS, are past. The Antichrist War on the Saints is raging, 300,000 killed and 2 million Christians homeless here in the Middle East since 2011. It really is no longer going to be an option to make Compromises for the sake of Comfort. Now we must be prepared to walk in that unction.
Rev 12:7-12 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
We see all the evidence everywhere we look. The last days war in heaven is concluded. The access of Satan and his evil angels to God’s third heaven is over. His 6000-year efforts to get the faithful angels to join in his rebellion are ended. THE ACCUSER OF THE BRETHREN operation IS SHUT DOWN. Previously, If I were to have a sin not properly put under the blood by the grace of God evidenced in repentance, Satan, the accuser of our brethren, who is now cast down, would be accusing me before our God day and night. Heaven is rejoicing that operation of the accuser of the brethren and Satan’s access to the third heaven has been ended. But, WOE to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Now I want you to think very seriously about the NEW significance of 1 John 5:16 - If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
There is a sin unto death. Receiving that 666 based implant ID in your right hand or forehead is the sin unto death. Makes no difference what John MacArthur, Brannon Howse, or anyone else says – DON’T RECEIVE THE MARK. God tell us in Rev 14:9-14 And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand, The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb: And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whosoever receiveth the mark of his name. Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of Jesus.
NOW CONSIDER what it means that the accuser of the brethren operation of Satan is shut down. If we are walking in the manifest power of God making binding and loosing and remitting or retaining decrees in The Name of The Lord Jesus Christ, would it shock you to hear Him say by His Spirit, because you asked your prayer of intercession was heard, and the one for whom you did ask is given LIFE? 1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
For those who desire to walk in the unction to effectively resist the devil, and witness the host of hell flee from before you, this little book is for you.

Chapter 1
My heart is considering a good matter. What? How can you do that? Do you not see what is going on?
Yes,
I do see what is going on. I see the effect of every vision now being at hand. Yes,
I see public school students being forced to receive the affirmative action homosexual
agenda. Yes, I see the certainty of the Great Tribulation war of which Jesus
spoke, that will kill TWO Billion, NOW being irreversibly all set up. Yes, I see
the Strong Delusion of the great apostasy in the Purpose Driven churches of self-idolatry.
I
have known the identity of the Antichrist since 1993, and watched the actions
of his False Prophet pope setting up the global religion of tolerance, in which only
Jews and Real Christians will NOT be tolerated. Yes, I do see that the pope is ready
to perform John 16:1-3 upon us “not-authentically-human”, People of the Book,
Jews and REAL Christians.
I am considering a good matter because my King said when ye see THESE THINGS come to pass LOOK UP and KNOW that the KING of Kings IS Coming, and our redemption draws neigh. I am considering a good matter. Ready or not the King is coming, IMMEDIATELY AFTER the Tribulation of these last days.
So how could I be considering a good matter in the midst of such evil, treachery, wickedness, and thick gross antichrist darkness? It is only because I am focusing on the Cross, and the more sure Word of God, in the KJV Holy Bible.
The
CROSS is the focus. It is all at the Cross. We are pressed on every side with 2014
having been the most difficult year ever for us. It could easily be overwhelming without
focus on that REALITY of the Cross. The reality of what our King did on Calvary.
That reality will save us from the wrath to come. None of us will have to
endure anything compared to what He endured for us. During those three darkest hours
of history, on that Wednesday, Nissan 14. 30AD, Jesus was in agony, wrestling
with the powers of
darkness, and suffering His Father's displeasure against the Sin of SINNERS. On that dark Wednesday of the Crucifixion, The Lamb of God was
making Himself an Offering for the Sin of SINNERS. Never were there three such
hours since the day God created man upon the earth, never such a dark and awful
scene. It was the turning point of that great love of the Creator for His
creatures. The Redemption and
Salvation of SINNERS, who would confess they were sinners, and
turn away from sin, was being accomplished.
Jesus
uttered a complaint from Psalms 22:1. Again He was teaching us how important the
word of God is to direct us in prayer. Scripture should be woven into prayer.
The
believer may have tasted some bitterness, suffering, and pain. But, he can only form
a very feeble idea of the greatness of Christ's sufferings. Yet, here we learn something
of the Savior's love to SINNERS. The SIN of SINNERS caused, and required,
this greatest of all injustice. Here we get deeper conviction of the vileness and
evil of sin, and of what we owe to Jesus Christ, Who ALONE delivers us from the wrath
to come. There is NO OTHER NAME which will deliver us from the wrath to come.
His
enemies wickedly ridiculed His complaint. Many of the reproaches cast upon the Word
of God and the people of God, arise, from gross errors of ignorance regarding THE
Gospel. Christ, just before He died, spoke in His full strength, to show that
His life was NOT forced from Him, but
was freely and willfully delivered into His Father's hands.
He had strength to bid defiance to the powers of
death, and to show that by the
eternal Spirit He offered Himself. Yeshua THE Messiah, being the Priest as well as
the Sacrifice, cried with a loud voice. Then He YIELDED up the ghost.
The
Son of God, upon the Cross, did die by the violence of the pain He suffered for the
Sin of SINNERS. His soul was separated from His body, and so His body was left really
and truly dead. It was certain that Christ did die, for it was required that He
should die for the Sin of SINNERS. He
had agreed to make Himself an offering for sin, and He did
it when He willingly gave up His life.
There
was a thick darkness over the land, from noon until
three in the afternoon. That small
segment of the Jewish nation, the Judeans attached to the Temple Mount complex, were
doing their utmost to extinguish the Son of God. THE JEWS DID NOT PUT HIM THROUGH
THIS, IT WAS MY SIN WHICH CAUSED THIS HORROR, AND GREATEST OF
INJUSTICE. HE BORE THAT INJUSTICE SO THAT I MIGHT RECEIVE THE FRUIT OF
THE INJUSTICE HE BORE FOR ME. THAT HE WOULD SATISFY THE REQUIRED JUSTICE
OF THE HOLY GOD BY SUBSTITUTING THE SACRIFICE OF HIMSELF TO PAY
MY DEBT BEFORE THE HOLY GOD. HOW COULD I COMPLAIN OVER SUCH LIGHT
AFFLICTION, WHATEVER MAY BE REQUIRED TO ENDURE FOR HIM?
On the
Cross, on that Wednesday of Nissan 14, in 30AD, the Son of God, the source of
life and creator of all things, was making Himself, THE Lamb of God, to be THE
Sin Offering for the Sin of Sinners
who would receive His grace evidenced in REPENTANCE.
He did not complain that His disciples forsook Him, but that His Father
forsook Him. In this He was made THE Sin Offering for us. When Paul was to be
offered as a sacrifice for the
service of the saints, he could joy and rejoice, Philippians 2:17;
but it is another thing to be offered
as a sacrifice for the sin of sinners.
At the same instant that Jesus died, the veil of the temple was ripped and torn from the top to the bottom. This spoke terror to the unbelieving Judean religious rulers, and was a sign of the destruction of their religious control. It speaks comfort to all believers in The Messiah, Yeshua, for it signified the laying open of a New and Living way into the Holiest by the Blood of Jesus. The confidence with which Christ had openly addressed God as His Father, and committed His soul into His hands, even greatly affected the Roman Centurion. Right views of Jesus THE Christ, Yeshua THE Messiah, crucified, reconcile the believer to the thought of death. We may not have a death wish, yet we do long to see Him, to express love to Him, and praise Him, as He ought to be praised, IN HOLINESS, undefiled.
What a
great King. What a worthy King. The Savior, Redeemer, and Friend of SINNERS, was
wounded and pierced to save SINNERS from the wrath to come. Jesus Christ SAVES, is
all I know. There is no other name by which we might be saved. Jesus Christ died
for SINNERS. That is THE Gospel.
There is NO OTHER gospel that a redeemed sinner can know,
or tolerate. Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so. Amen?
Yet,
the preaching of the Cross is foolishness to them that are perishing. They need
a schoolmaster to bring them to
Christ. The Royal Law, and only that Royal LAW, is the schoolmaster
to bring anyone to the Cross of Christ Jesus, Yeshua THE Messiah. Without
that schoolmaster the preaching of the Cross remains foolishness. It is only that
Royal Law which will convince anyone to confess they are a SINNER. Until one is convinced,
and will confess he is a SINNER, the Cross remains foolishness. Why is that
schoolmaster banned from the Churches that bear His Name?
Rev 3:17 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: What sad words, AND KNOWEST NOT, and knowest not, and knowest not.
Exo 20:2-17 I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Thou shalt have NO other gods before me.
Thou
shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in
heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the
earth: Thou shalt not bow down
thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous
God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth
generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that
love me, and keep my commandments.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do
all thy work: But the seventh day is
the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not
do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant,
nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the
LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh
day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
Honour
thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the
LORD thy God giveth thee.
Thou
shalt not kill.
Thou
shalt not commit adultery.
Thou
shalt not steal.
Thou
shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Thou
shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's
wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy
neighbour's.
Why is
the schoolmaster banned? One reason is Commandment number 4. However, the
main reason is that Self has replaced God in Commandment number one. Another reason
is that the Churches which used to lift up the Name of Jesus Christ, now want to
join the Antichrist’s False Prophet pope of the Vatican. It was the Roman pope,
who changed #4, and eliminated #2,
and who leads the Antichrist’s Great Apostasy, AKA the Global
Ethic, or United Religions Initiative. It was Vatican Roma that put Muhammad in the
religion business to kill Jews and real Christians, people of The Book. It was
Vatican Roma that began the
exaltation of the pope, the queen of heaven, the church, and SELF, in
the place of Christ.
Brethren, welcome the schoolmaster, and come out from among those who do not uphold
the Royal Law, and the Name, and the CROSS of Jesus Christ, Yeshua THE Messiah.
There is NO OTHER Name by which anyone can be saved from the wrath to
come. The Royal Law is the schoolmaster, the only schoolmaster, to bring Sinners to
the Cross of Jesus Christ, where they may be saved from the wrath to come.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish the law.
I
want to encourage you to listen to this particular audio and it is my hope you too
will be indicting a good matter as you listen:
http://www.gjigt-radio.com/podcast/audio/Ps2015.mp3
I
would also like to encourage you to listen to an audio file on the biblical
doctrine of the Trinity or Godhead.
It is important to understand and be able to articulate the doctrine
of the Trinity in these last days of strong delusion and great falling away from
the Faith. Most religions which are NOT part of THE Faith of the called out ones,
NOT part of the One True Church of the Firstborn, start by attacking the biblical
doctrine of the Trinity. Even Muslims the largest of Satan’s religions love to attack
and ridicule the biblical doctrine of the Trinity. Here is the direct link
http://www.gjigt-radio.com/podcast/audio/TrinityRadio.mp3
This is more important than most people realize. I do hope you will find the time to listen to this file which help you be ready to give an answer to those who ask the reason of the hope that is within you. Many will be surprised how important this really is in these last days of strong delusion.
Here is the 22 minute audio clip of Henry Gruver’s binding of the TWO great Black Angels of Lucifer in Vatican Roma. –

Henry Gruver’s vision of the TWO angels in ROME tells us some very important things for this time NOW, when we have seen Ken Copeland and other leaders in the so-called Word Faith movement dining with the pope in Vatican Roma. We ALL should KNOW that there is real GENUINE power of God by His Holy Spirit, AND there is a world full of COUNTERFEIT spiritual power manifestations, that are NOT of God. Revelation 17 speaks clearly about this great apostasy and abomination.
Many do not know that God COMMANDS us to do these two things regarding spiritual manifestations and experiences: BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT AND TEST THE SPIRITS TO KNOW WHETHER THEY ARE OF GOD.
Very FEW will obey these TWO COMMANDS of the Lord. Almost all people choose willing ignorance of these TWO New Testament Commands of the Lord. Everyone wants to believe the spiritual manifestations they see in a Church service are Holy Spirit spiritual. Everyone seems to be convinced that MY OWN spiritual experiences are all Holy Spirit spiritual. The vast majority, if one would raise any question, most likely would respond, - how dare you to suggest MY spiritual experiences be TESTED. May I simply say that the Holy Spirit is NEVER threatened by the TEST of the spirits. We test the spirits by comparing what they may say or do by the More Sure Word that is written in the KJV Holy Bible.
How do we test the spirits in those whom we meet that want us to receive them as brothers and sisters IN Christ? If an angel of the Lord would appear to us, how would we test if that angel is of God? We ask them to let us hear THE 7 WORDS of THE Test of the Spirits listening very carefully and KNOWING the Holy Spirit, and any angelic spirit of God, is NEVER threatened by THE Test of the spirits. Sadly, the majority of people if you told them where they could read the 7 WORDS known as THE test of the spirits would STILL FAIL THE TEST unless they had a God promised every word perfect KJV Holy Bible. I will post here where that test is found and will CAPITALIZE the key word that we are most careful to hear or say.
1 John 4:1-3 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
There is an Apostolic Anointing for EVERY BELIEVER that we should know to walk in. Apostolic Succession is a Great Lie of Satan wherein Vatican Roma effectively stole away from the Church that power EVERY BELIEVER is intended to have. That apostolic anointing for EVERY BELIEVER was stolen when the First Pope, Roman Emperor Constantine The Great, syncretized his new State pagan religion with Christian terms. Prior to that, in just 200 years, with that apostolic anointing, while being greatly persecuted, because of that power, the Gospel had been spread throughout the entire known world. The Roman Church of Constantine offered Comfort and Compromise for the surrender of the Power With Persecution.
Certainly one of the devil’s most important lies is that when a believer is born again, baptized, and receives the Holy Spirit, that he can NOT have a devil. THAT IS A VERY IMPORTANT LIE OF THE DEVIL. The TRUTH is that such believers are the high priority targets for the devils. Satan already has the unbelievers. Only Believers represent a threat to the devils. And the POWER and AUTHORITY, which the Lord Jesus Christ gives to EVERY believer is DENIED when people receive that lie. The LIE that born again, baptized, and spirit baptized believers do not have, and/or can not have a devil, is perhaps the devil's most important lie. Instantly, believers who receive that lie are left with a form of godliness, which DENIES the POWER thereof.
2 Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Brethren, it is time we realize that there are only two kinds of people in
the world, Believers and Unbelievers.
Believers cast out devils, and are constantly on guard to
get them cast out of themselves and others, and keep them out. Unbelievers
DO NOT.
We do mourn that so few are being prepared for the Antichrist War on The Saints. The purpose of the Church is NOT for building entertainment centers. The Church is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. In the final 42 months before the return of the Lord Jesus Christ, the work of the ministry of every saint will be WAR with the antichrist demonic hordes. That will be the work of the ministry for EVERY SAINT. The weapons of our warfare are NOT carnal but they are mighty to the pulling down of strongholds.
There is a spiritual dynamic which drives everything that we see unfolding in the physical. It is sad how very few saints are being instructed regarding the fullness of the Mystery of the Ages, Christ IN us, the Hope of Glory. It is sad how very few saints are being taught anything biblical about the principles which might help them endure to the end, and participate in the final glory of the Last Days harvest, the Greater Works and Exploits. (Jn 14:12 & Dan 11:32)
Through passive or willing ignorance most people do NOT understand Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance, even though the first sign that the Lord Jesus Christ said would follow those who believe, is that IN His Name they would cast out devils. Mark 16:17 - And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;
When one realistically looks at today's seminaries, we see that the conformity to the Word of God, and SOUND Doctrine and training in Spiritual Warfare is NOT part of the curriculum. It would almost seem as though young champions for darkness, spiritual ignorance, and spiritual blindness are being produced. The sheep follow the blind leaders of the blind, and almost all are walking in darkness regarding the Mystery of the Ages.
It
is sadly amazing how many today, do not even recognize what is wrong with the
very idea of DIFFERENT BIBLES. It is amazing how many claim to be Christians for
years, and have not considered that the Holy Bible should be read in the order in
which God promised that He would preserve and purify it seven times. How can anyone
know the context of any book, without reading that book in order, precept upon
precept, and line upon line, straight through from the front cover to the back cover?
How can the Word be RIGHTLY DIVIDED without that context and foundation?
The vast majority from the pulpit to the back door, do NOT know what God's Word says, and are in either ignorance, or even willful rebellion to God's Commandments. Most have been robbed of God's good and acceptable and perfect gifts, some of which are the blessings that follow OBEDIENCE.
The truth of Acts 17:30-31 MUST NOW BE received, acknowledged, apprehended, and LIVED. And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but NOW commandeth all men every where to repent: Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
NOW is the time for the everlasting gospel, as we find in Revelation 14:6-7, to be proclaimed. And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters.
It is time to fear God and give glory to Him, for the hour of His judgment is come.
1 Pet 4:17-18 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
We MUST have our hearts prepared NOT to be angry with God for these necessary judgments. Heb 10:34-35 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
Those who name the name of Christ should not be glorying in themselves, but should rather be working out their own salvation with fear and trembling. We should be departing from iniquity, knowing that to whom much is given, much is also required.
There are three parts to the gospel of salvation by grace through faith IN the
Lord Jesus Christ. All three are essential. They are justification, imputation
of Christ's righteousness, and sanctification. We are saved by hope, and
justified by faith.
The will of God for His children is sanctification, walking in submission to
Him, and having complete victory over sin, the world, the flesh, AND the DEVIL
and his demons.
1 Th 4:3-5 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
The will of God is clear. We are to PRESS on to perfection. Sanctification is that growing in grace process. Peter gave an order of this growth. We are to KNOW Him and not just know about Him. He has given us great and precious promises, that do little or no good if we do not know what they are, and IF, there is a condition upon which they are based. We are to, by His Holy Spirit, partake of His divine nature, having been given power over ALL the power of the enemy. However, there is a condition. We must exercise our will to turn away from the corruption of the lusts of our flesh.
We have this great faith and precious promises. To this we add virtue, the fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. And to this virtue we add KNOWLEDGE, knowledge of what God Said, rightly divided, in context, with the diligent determination to DO what God said, just because God said so. That is the REAL FAITH that honors God, and will see His exceeding great mighty power manifest. That is REAL FAITH, and the rest by comparison is phony baloney, which will not endure and be able to stand in this evil day.
WE ALL HAVE AN APOSTOLIC ANOINTING FROM THE LORD HIMSELF GIVING US THE HOLY SPIRIT. John Baptist said, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: We ALL have this apostolic anointing if we are truly born again. We do NOT need new apostles with new doctrines. Rather we need to walk in the apostolic anointing of all BELEVERS to know and walk in the Doctrine of the Apostles, which is the Doctrine of Christ. Apostolic Succession is a very great LIE designed to keep believers from walking in the manifest power of God in their Apostolic Anointing to bind and loose, to remit and retain.
Indeed we have been given power over ALL the power of the enemy. However, if we receive the lie that we can not have a demon in our flesh or mind, that power is rendered null and void, because we walk in deception, and deny the truth. The victory of the believers, which gives glory to God in the name of Yeshua, is the casting out of the devils. Believers cast them out. Non-believers, are deceived and do not cast them out. It really is that simple. The way of the believer in glorifying God, who was manifest in the flesh to destroy the works of the devil, is in receiving the truth, acknowledging the truth, and walking in the light of the truth. Then we also know, and will see manifest, that we have been given power over ALL the power of the enemy. We have the power to put down the lusts that entice us, and draw us away from God and into sin, which is transgression of God's laws.
2 Pet 1:3-11 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Heb 6:1-6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Lucifer, Satan, the devil, managed to steal the great manifest power of God from the Church. The Jesuit agents and other lackeys of Lucifer, have been very successful in keeping this manifest power out of reach from all but a very few saints. So NOW, will we REALLY taste the good Word of God, and the powers of the world to come?
May I say it is not optional?
We must needs be made aware of the truth that this great manifest power of God ALWAYS brings persecution, tribulation, and suffering. Not so with all the counterfeit spiritual powers, no persecution there. However, with the REAL genuine manifest power of God, there will always be tribulation and persecution until the Lord Jesus Christ returns to rule this planet. May I also tell you that if you have REALLY tasted the good Word of God and dare to, as Paul said, go on to PERFECTION, then know also that you WILL be persecuted and you will suffer?
How did Lucifer STEAL away with this great power of God manifest in the life of every believer? What is the truth regarding the founding of the Roman Catholic Church? Why is that particular church KNOWN AS THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH? Why is that particular church known as the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus? Constantine the Great is a great saint in the Roman Catholic Church and even much greater in the Orthodox Church. Why is he considered such a great saint and in some sects, second only to the Queen of Heaven? What is Orthodox? What is true apostolic authority? What is an apostle, apostolic anointing, apostolic ministry, and apostolic succession? Why is it so important to KNOW exactly what the Word of God explicitly tells us was Paul’s thorn in the flesh? Why is the truth regarding the Septuagint (LXX) so important? Why is the truth regarding Sinaiaticus and Vaticanus so important? What is it so important to know about the Vulgate, both the real Vulgate, and Jerome’s counterfeit of it? Is there a common basis for ALL FALSE religions, and what is it? What is THE Test of the Spirits and why is that test so important?
Many probably think they have studied enough to know the basics of what we need to know of these things. Why must we go through all this sort of stuff before we go on to PERFECTION? Heb 6:4-6 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
Those who are living today on this planet earth have more necessity of these basic truths than anyone in any other time. This will become even more self-evident in the coming days. Many of the oldest lies have been so often taught to succeeding generations that ALL accept them as true. They are taught in all the Seminaries. Those who do not want anyone considering the lie to be a lie, have spun them. All the evidence to expose the lie as being a lie, has been PURGED. Time is the Ally of Deceit, is the title of a book by my good friend Richard Rives. That title is profoundly true. The longer a lie is promoted the more certain and unshakeable it becomes. Look at this verse and read it at least 3 times - Jer 16:19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
In Paul’s time, most of the great religion LIES had not even had someone bringing them forth or promoting them.
Origen was a self-castrator who did NOT believe Jesus was God, and who also believed in reincarnation. Origen wrote the Septuagint. Those believing the lie and fable that the Septuagint was written 3-5 Centuries before Christ should be reproved for their ignorance of the FACT that Origen wrote the Septuagent in the middle of the Third Century A.D. That is so clear with Origen’s Hexapla written about 254 A.D. There is no excuse for so-called scholars and higher critics to appeal to the work of such a damnable heretic.
The Dead Sea Scrolls are more than 1000 years older than Origin’s Hexapla, from which we get the Septuigent, and more than 1000 years older than Vaticanus or Sinaiticus. The most well preserved scroll of the scrolls found in Cave One was The Great Isaiah Scroll. It remains the best preserved of the biblical scrolls found at Qumran. The scholars had to admit it was word for word with the Mazorite Hebrew texts, and therefore word for word with the KJV. To know why textual critics were so vehement in their hatred of the book of Isaiah read chapter 45 in the KJV. There we find the most famous king of Persia, Cyrus, with every major event of his life detailed, then written by Isaiah, at least 150 years before Cyrus was born. Only God can write, or inspire someone to write, OUTSIDE of linear time like that.
The FACT is, that there is NO
MANUSCRIPT EVIDENCE, NONE, zero, zip, nada, of
the existence of a Greek translation of the Old Testament prior to 150 BC. The one
and ONLY piece of GREEK Old Testament before Christ, EVER positively dated
BC, consists of nothing more than some portions of Deuteronomy
chapters 23-28. One
can NOT, in truth, call parts of 5 chapters of
Deuteronomy an 'entire' Old Testament!
Yet people are led to believe
that one may go to a Christian bookstore
and purchase a
'genuine' copy of the Septuagint, Greek Old Testament. The truth regarding
this fraud
is that the Old Testament Greek translation that is sold, as
The Septuagint, was
NEVER translated BEFORE the time of Christ. It is nothing
more than a copy of
a work that Origen did in the 3rd century AD. The
Septuagint is, in fact, one of the
six columns of Origen's Hexapla. Origen was
one of the greatest DAMNABLE HERETICS of all of history. So what is wrong
with the picture we find when people use
the Septuagint for their Old
Testament? If anyone is in need of proof that the Septuagint
is totally a
product of Origen, the great heretic, just check this out -

We MUST realize that the Holy Spirit did not inspire the writings of the Church Fathers, as were the writings of Paul, Peter, James and others, which have been preserved in our New Testament. We must be careful that the Church Fathers are not allowed to be placed on the same level with the writers of Scripture. But the writings of the Church Fathers are valuable for several reasons. We have to understand that what we find in the writings of the Church Fathers are historical accounts of the events of the early New Testament Church. From these writing we can learn a great deal about the history of the early Christian Church, their struggles and persecutions, as well as their witness and growth. We learn about early church organization, church doctrine, and the dangers of (and struggles with) heresy.
The
thing to remember about the Church Fathers is that they did not determine the
New Testament Canon. In no way did they authorize the documents
of the New Testament. Canonicity was based on apostolic authority.
However, from their writings it IS evident that they all seemed to
know there were 27 books of the New Testament. They seemed to ALL
KNOW, which books were written by the twelve and know that Luke was
with Paul to the very end and was writing under Paul’s apostolic authority.
That all of the early Church Fathers recognized that the documents of
the New Testament had Apostolic Authority behind them is clear and evident.
Every New Testament book is quoted by the Apostolic Fathers (the early Christian writers
down to A.D. 150). Almost every book of the New Testament is
explicitly cited by the Church Fathers as Scripture. By around 300, nearly every
verse in the New Testament was cited in one or more of over 36,000 citations
found in the writings of the Church Fathers. Not every New Testament book
is cited by every Church Father, but every book was cited by some of them.
A few New Testament books were questioned or disputed by some of the Church
Fathers, but that does not mean those documents lacked initial apostolic
authority, or that the earliest Christians did not acknowledge them. The
fact that they were disputed over uncertainty concerning questions of authorship
shows that the early Christians understood the guiding principle of
canonicity to be apostolic origin.
Some writings of the post-apostolic era were widely read and respected
by Christians of that period, such as the first epistle of Clement of Rome. Some few
may even have regarded them as Scripture; however, such views were rare,
and only temporary, and localized. Everyone seemed ultimately, to know by
the Spirit of Truth those books were not written by the 12 apostles and were written
after the twelve had all gone on to Glory. Other writings like the APOCRYPHA
were NEVER accepted because of unknown origin after the 12 had
passed on and therefore lacked any apostolic authority.
The lists produced by the Church Fathers from the mid-second century until the early
fourth century simply recognized and acknowledged what was implicit from
the beginning—that the twenty-seven books of the New Testament were of
apostolic origin and thus should be regarded as the Word of God.
Can
you trust the writings of the Church Fathers? Yes & No. I would not
generally trust them, or recommend anyone waste time studying them given the
lateness of the hour. They have made some great contributions to advancing THE
Faith, which
was ONCE delivered unto the Saints. Their main contribution was fully
realized 400 years ago. They provide
a good and strong testimony that God did KEEP His promise of
an every word PERFECT Holy Bible, the AV, the KJV. After we have that God promised
perfect KJV Holy Bible the writings of the Church Fathers become pale and
muted to me.
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Chapter 4
By the year 400AD, THE Bible had been translated into 500 languages. By the year 500AD, the Vatican Roma allowed only one language, Latin. The strategy of Vatican Roma for controlling the people was simple. Control people’s minds by controlling their education. Control their education by controlling their Language. One empire, many languages, but only Latin was allowed for instruction.
The history has been purged regarding the intense persecution and genocide conducted AFTER Constantine, to remove any Bible except Rome’s Latin Bible. The true manifest power of God evidenced in the lives of the faithful remnant WILL suffer persecution. There have been many more millions of Christians slaughtered AFTER Constantine founded his Christian terminology paganism, the state religion of the Roman Empire, than before the Empire supposedly became Christian. Trustworthy true history today, can only be found in the KJV Holy Bible. From which comes this concise and explicit summary of such general World History since Constantine the Great:
Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.
No wonder the Pope, as head of the new world order religion of TOLERANCE, wants the book of The Revelation removed from all Bibles. The Luciferian society of Jesuits have rewritten, spun, and made history say what Vatican Roma wants, regardless of truth or facts, the end justifies the means, they say. Today the prevention of the people from access to the Word of God is much more subtle. Now it is done by Luciferian Jesuit infiltration of seminaries, churches, and institutions, and by way of UNBELIEVERS called the higher critics. It is obvious in the apostate leadership in the emergent or convergent church movements. Today, there are over 200 so-called bibles in English from which one may choose. How does one KNOW they have the every word perfect Holy Bible that God promised?
The Word of God and Spirit of God speaks so expressly and explicitly about this. 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; Speaking LIES in HYPOCRISY; having their CONSCIENCE SEARED with a hot iron; This know also, that in the LAST DAYS PERILOUS TIMES shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; HAVING A FORM OF GODLINESS, BUT DENYING THE POWER THEREOF, FROM SUCH TURN AWAY. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, EVER LEARNING, and NEVER able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was.
COUNTERFEIT SPIRITS OF THE HOST OF HELL WILL EMPOWER MINISTERS OF THE OTHER GOSPELS FORMING THE ANTICHRIST NEW WORLD ORDER RELIGION OF TOLERANCE. THEY WILL DO SIGNS AND WONDERS THAT APPEAR TO BE OF GOD. HOWEVER, THE REAL TRUE MANIFEST POWER OF GOD MUST, AND WILL, THEN ALWAYS RISE UP, SHOWING THE REAL TRUE MANIFEST POWER OF THE ONE TRUE LIVING GOD TO MAKE FOLLY OF THE JANNES & JAMBRES COUNTERFEITS.
There is a LIE, a very BIG LIE, that has kept the Holy Bible from the people, AND has kept the people from walking in the manifest power of God, of binding and loosing, and remitting and retaining. THAT BIG LIE IS KNOWN AS APOSTOLIC SUCCESSION.
Apostle is a Greek maritime word very simply meaning one SENT in the name of
the sender, with the authority of the
sender to do business for the sender. In that sense EVERY BELIEVER is an apostle. There is also the application of apostolic anointing to a group
of ONLY twelve men, who will have
their names written in the twelve foundations of New Jerusalem. These men, and only
these men, had the unique special NONTRANSFERABLE apostolic anointing to
proclaim the Gospel, and establish
the Doctrine of Christ, which is one and the same as the Doctrine of
the Apostles, WITH ABSOLUTE INFALLIBILITY. To want new apostles with
new doctrines is NONSENSE. There is
also the apostolic anointing to do a particular work and calling of the Lord, as Henry Gruver and his back up strike team were translated to Rome to bind some
particularly mighty angels of
Lucifer. There is an apostolic anointing for all believers who would dare to go on
to perfection, walking in His manifest power
of binding and loosing, remitting and retaining.
After the Lord had ascended to take His seat at the Father’s right hand on the highest throne in the universe, the Holy Spirit empowered ALL the believers. All 120 that were assembled at Jerusalem were ENDUED WITH POWER from on high, to take the Gospel throughout the world. According to the New Testament, the first Church to be established was the Church in Jerusalem. It was from there that the believers went forth with the Gospel. They were the “Church which was at Jerusalem; and they were all scattered abroad throughout the regions of Judea and Samaria, except the apostles.”
Consider this - Jesus still being with them, COMMANDED them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but WAIT for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water; but YE SHALL BE BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY GHOST NOT MANY DAYS HENCE.
They asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. BUT YE SHALL RECEIVE POWER, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Then returned they unto Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is from Jerusalem a sabbath day's journey. And when they were come in, they went up into an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bartholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren. (DID PETER WAIT? HAD PETER BEEN ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH? IF NOT, THIS ACTION IS DISOBEDIENCE TO THE LAST COMMAND THE LORD GAVE HIM AND THE ASSEMBLED APOSTLES.) And in those days Peter stood up in the midst of the disciples, and said, (the number of names together were about an hundred and twenty,) (NOTICE THERE ARE 120 ASSEMBLED WAITING TO BE ENDUED ITH POWER FROM ON HIGH. PETER AND THE OTHER 10 APOSTLES WERE NEVER TO REPLACE JUDAS. GOD HIMSELF WOULD CHOOSE THE ONE WHOSE NAME WOULD BE WRITTEN ON ONE OF THE 12 FOUNDATIONS OF NEW JERUSALEM. THIS ELECTION OF MATTHIAS TO REPLACE JUDAS WAS A BLATANT ACT OF DISOBEDIENCE TO THE FINAL COMMAND OF THE LORD TO WAIT.
NEVERTHELESS PETER STANDS UP, TO GO IN THE WAY OF DISOBEDIENCE, AND HERE WAS HIS RATIONALIZATION THAT GOT THE OTHER TEN TO GO ALONG AND JOIN WITH THIS DISOBEDIENCE.
Men and brethren, this scripture must needs have been fulfilled, which the Holy Ghost by the mouth of David spake before concerning Judas, which was guide to them that took Jesus. For he was numbered with us, and had obtained part of this ministry. Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jerusalem; insomuch as that field is called in their proper tongue, Aceldama, that is to say, The field of blood. For it is written in the book of Psalms, Let his habitation be desolate, and let no man dwell therein: and his bishopric let another take. (THIS REPLACEMENT MUST BE MADE BY GOD, AND NOT BY MEN MOVING IN DISOBEDIENCE, THAT HAVE NOT YET BEEN ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH, OR BAPTIZED WITH THE HOLY GHOST) Wherefore of these men which have companied with us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection. And they appointed two, Joseph called Barsabas, who was surnamed Justus, and Matthias. And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men, show whether of these two thou hast chosen, (GOD’S CHOICE WAS PAUL AND NOT EITHER OF THESE TWO) That he may take part of this ministry and apostleship, from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place. And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias; and he was numbered with the eleven apostles.
The New Testament also records the establishment of the local Churches in Judea and Samaria. The Gospel then spread to cities in Cyprus and to Antioch, Syria. When the believers in Jerusalem heard that the people in Antioch had received the Gospel, they sent Barnabas to them. Barnabas first went to Tarsus to fetch Paul. Together they spent a whole year at Antioch teaching the Gospel of grace though faith alone in Christ Jesus ALONE. It was there that those who believed the Gospel were FIRST called Christians. Yes, Syria, the SAME place where Obama's Muslim Brotherhood has slaughtered 200,000 Christians and left 2 Million homeless since he fired up the so-called Arab Spring in 2011. Yes, he does say he likes killing, and that he is good at it.
The Apostle Paul appointed elders and deacons in these local Churches. What did the elders and deacons do? They SERVED the new believers. They taught them the Gospel. They taught them doctrine and discipline, which are the keys of the Kingdom of God. The Kingdom of God is established and advanced by those who are fully submitted, NOT to men, NOT to False Doctrine, BUT to God, The scripture is their FINAL AUTHORITY and they will not submit to anything other than the Word of God by His Spirit. They served the new believers so that they also would be indued with power from on high, to be sent forth with the Gospel. Paul said others not called to go out would work to help support those who were sent out. The elders and deacon offices, however, are not the very essence of the church; rather, they function for teaching and administration so that the assembly is orderly. The unifying center of the assembly of believers is not the structure of the group, as the Pope maintains, but rather it is the Gospel.
The
Greek word for Church is ekklesia, which literally means the called out ones. In
the New Testament it is applied to
ALL of the believers throughout the present era, of whom The
Lord Jesus Christ said, I will build MY Church. The Apostle Paul’s definition,
under the direction of the Holy
Spirit, is that the Church is the body of Christ, which generally signifies
the local assembly of believers. Paul's New Testament letters emphasize the Gospel
of grace through faith alone, such as in Ephesians 2. For by grace are ye
saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of
works, lest any man should boast. For
we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus UNTO good works,
which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
The unifying factor of the early local Churches was THE Gospel. These local Churches believed and taught the Gospel of God’s grace. That Gospel of the Cross of Christ was for them the power of God unto salvation to EVERY ONE that BELIEVETH. Faith alone, consistent with the Scriptures, was the means by which the believers entered into the salvation purchased by the Blood of the Lamb, Behold The Lamb of God, The Lord Jesus Christ. THE Gospel in a very short time, under great and increasing tribulation and persecution, went all the way to India, Persia, Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. The whole known world heard The Gospel. Churches were established in the homes. These local Churches were established by ALL believers, no hierarchy, no magisterium, no clergy. ALL BELIEVERS spread the Gospel.
Vatican Roma requires that Catholics profess that there is an historical continuity between the Church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ and the Roman Catholic Church. NOTHING COULD BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH.
The Roman Catholic Church means something quite different by the word “Church” than the New Testament does. Roman Catholicism always puts the emphasis on the authority and mission of the papal organizational system. Vatican Roma teaches, Christ instituted the Church. He gave her authority, and mission, orientation, and goals. How this claimed power structure is exercised is clearly laid out by the Roman Catholic system: There is no offense, however serious, that the Church cannot forgive. Priests have received from God a power that He has given neither to angels nor to archangels, God above confirms what priests do here below. Vatican Roma claims their Church EXCLUSIVELY is the mother of all believers. No one can have God as Father who does not have the Church as Mother, says Vatican Roma.
The claimed absolute power of the papal hierarchical system is totally contrary to the New Testament concept of the Church as the assembly of believers. The Papacy’s lust for power is so insatiable that it claims power for itself, which rightfully belongs ONLY to the God. Thus the Magisterium officially teaches that the Roman Pontiff, by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, and as Pastor of the entire Church has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power that he can always exercise unhindered. How does such dogma reflect any historical continuity with biblical doctrine and the practice of the authentic early Church? IN NO WAY.
The
early believers held to the Scriptures as being the absolute Word of God’s
truth. The early Church understood Apostolic Doctrine as the written Word of
God. From the very start of the
post-apostolic age in the writings of Apostolic Fathers such as Ignatius, Polycarp,
and Clement, there was an exclusive appeal to the Scriptures for the positive teaching
of doctrine, and for defense against heresy. In the writings of these men, the
authority cited is that of the Old and New Testaments. There was no appeal in
any of these writings to the
authority of an extra-biblical tradition as a separate body of revelation.
The
spread of the Christian faith during the first three centuries was rapid
and extensive. In the providence of
God, the main reasons for this were the faithfulness and zeal of the Preachers
of the Gospel, with the manifest power of
God, in binding and loosing, remitting and
retaining, so very evident. It should also be remembered that part of this rapid
spread of the Gospel was the heroic
deaths of the martyrs, the translation of the Scriptures into
the languages of the whole known world, and the well-developed and expansive
Roman road system over which the
Gospel was carried. The most persecution ever was
under the Emperor Diocletian and
his co-regent, Galerius, during the years 303-311. Yet, far from
exterminating the Christians and the Gospel, the persecution purified
those who preached. The
persecution increased their ability to give the Gospel message.

Chapter 5
We are going to FULLY expose a lie that is going to be very hard for people to receive the truth necessary to be set free. Lucifer, Satan, the devil, is a LIAR, the father of lies, and the father of all liars. This particular lie has long been accepted as the truth by everyone, and is almost universally taught as truth. However, whenever one would receive this particular LIE, the demons are locked in, and the key has been thrown away. It is so difficult for most Christians to think or believe that they could have a demon in them because this particular lie is taught as a universal truth in all the seminaries and churches today.
Let
everything be confirmed in the mouth of two or more witnesses. Here is an audio
file where another man of God, now gone to glory, who was pre-eminent in
deliverance ministry addressing this
issue in particular, Pastor Win Worley:
www.gjigt-radio.com/podcast/audio/WinJimConf-Radio.mp3
And here is one more audio file that will be helpful in regard to this topic.
www.gjigt-radio.com/podcast/audio/DemonsChristianTARGETS.mp3
This second audio file will give you to know where we are going with this
whole book, and why it is so
important we do go through the preparation which the Lord provides for us to go
on to perfection.
First is the good news that YES, you and me and EVERY BELIEVER does have an APOSTOLIC ANOINTING. Satan and his host of hell are totally defeated foes. Our Great King said IT IS FINISHED. The host of hell is outnumbered 2 to 1 by God’s faithful angels. The Lord’s faithful angels are still fully armed. Satan and his host have been totally disarmed. All the devil and his angels have left to work with is ignorance, deception, and fear. However, if you are deceived and held in ignorance of the apostolic anointing that you have, you end up being effectively prevented from walking in His power for His glory in binding and loosing and remitting and retaining. I am glad you have this apostolic anointing which is part of what First John 1:20 clearly says - 1 John 2:20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, was manifested in the flesh, to
destroy the works of the devil.
That last sentence is true and is also grammatically correct. Without those commas, the sentence would not be grammatically correct. We want to focus on the first two commas, and know that the last comma is the more common usage. What is the purpose of those first two commas? In the phrase Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, those commas - LINK. Those commas tell us Jesus Christ IS the Only Begotten Son of God, AND the Only Begotten Son of God IS Jesus Christ.
Now we will go on a little comma hunt in order to not think we know, but that we may KNOW that we KNOW, what Paul’s thorn in the flesh was, with the absolute certainty of the more sure word of God written in II Cor 12:7. We will see how the Word of God is EXPLICIT and allows for no other possibility, unless one would willfully chooses to exalt a vain imagination against the knowledge of God. You will no longer wonder why no preacher or teacher ever tells you what the Word of God says Paul's thorn in the flesh was? We should KNOW Paul's thorn in the flesh was a demon. The Word of God in 2 Cor 12:7 tells you what Paul's thorn in his flesh was, with such explicit certainty, that there is only ONE POSSIBLE thing that Paul's thorn in the flesh could be, according to the Word of God. You have heard every explanation for what different people think Paul's thorn in the flesh was EXCEPT what the Word of God tells you it was. When you read it, it may still seem hard to believe.
2 Cor 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a THORN IN THE FLESH, THE MESSENGER OF SATAN to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.
According to the Word of God, Paul’s thorn in the flesh was the messenger of Satan to buffet him, a demon. In the Greek it is Angelos Satanas. Yes, the Greek for Paul's thorn in the flesh is Angelos Satanas. Paul sought the Lord 3 times for deliverance from that demon in his flesh. The Lord told him NO, that His grace would be sufficient. Why? For us. Yes, it was for us that Paul did carry that load of a demon in his flesh throughout his whole ministry. Why? So that we would know that if Paul could have a demon in his flesh, then why should we EVER think that we could not? Paul carried it for us who will have to deal with demonic manifestations like no people who ever lived. Spirit filled Christians are not exempt from having demons in them, they are the high priority targets.
Brethren, the Antichrist War on the Saints is REAL. Having been involved in deliverance ministry for longer than I like to admit, I simply tell you that if Jesus said there are demons, you better believe the Word of God, and not follow the fuds, thuds, and duds to hell. In this antichrist war on the saints it becomes vital.
The shows such as are performed by the likes of Kenneth Copeland, and Benny Hinn, give tremendous ground for demonic entry, gained through receiving heresy regarding the Doctrine of Christ, particularly so, as it relates to the Blood Atonement. The feel good tickling demonic spirits gain entry to the mind and bodies of those attending the shows. The people are made to FEEL hyper spiritual. Many become empowered by counterfeit spirits, which they sincerely believe is the Holy Spirit, thereby getting their consciences seared with a hot iron. It is a major sign of the times, but it should be no surprise that Ken Copeland and other Word Faith ministers could be found dining with the Pope in the Vatican in 2014. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith. But they shall proceed no further: for their folly shall be manifest unto all men, as theirs also was. 2 Tim 3:8-9 which, by the way. is a specific warning for THIS Last Days time frame, NOW.
It is strange how few realize another word for salvation is deliverance. If we walk in salvation we should walk in deliverance. Deliverance should be the first and main ministry of every Church, especially in the antichrist war on the saints. Just understanding that salvation and deliverance are synonymous tells us why Jesus said the FIRST sign that follows those who BELIEVE, is that in His Name we are to cast out devils. Mark 16:17-18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. No wonder the Jesuit Society of Lucifer has worked so hard to either remove Mark 16:9-20 or at least have GREAT doubt about them. That is YOUR apostolic anointing that they want you to surrender to the pope.
Be
aware of a subtle snare that the demons lay for people that begin to walk in deliverance.
The demons will try to get you into vanity about having power over the power of
the enemy. They would like you to believe that you wrought your own
deliverance by your own hand. That gets into glorifying yourself, rather than glorifying
God for your victory. We should remember how when the 70 disciples reported
back to Yeshua, with such great joy that the demons were subject to them
in His name, that Yeshua sternly reminded them to RATHER rejoice that their
names were written in heaven, in the Lamb’s book of life.
Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by
reason of him who hath subjected the
same in hope,

Chapter 6
Rom 8:20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,
We are all subject to vanity and we have to always be on guard against it. The
way to avoid this snare is to praise
God in ALL things. If we are praising, and glorifying God
for our deliverance, we are reminding ourselves, that it only came to us, by the
grace of God to begin with. We have this treasure in earthen vessels; but, the excellency
of the power is
of God and NOT of us. So many deliverance ministers fall,
as they think it is their anointing which causes the devils to flee. It is the
authority and power represented
by the Name of Jesus and the Power of
the Blood of Yeshua.
We are given power and authority to tread on snakes and scorpions. Why snakes and scorpions? The snake is vanity or pride. The scorpion is envy. Rom 8:20 - the creature was made subject to vanity, PRIDE. James 4:5-7 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
There are two spirits, pride and envy, which EVERYONE HAS, and can NOT be cast out;
but, are to be kept under our feet, and they can and should be bound. This is why
the full armor includes having our feet shod with the preparation of the Gospel of
Peace. Nothing is so genuinely humbling, and which can keep us walking in
victory over pride and envy, like the
gospel. We KNOW and should have our gospel shoes on
all the time, with the recollection of how Jesus Christ suffered that greatest injustice
of history FOR MY SINS AND YOUR SINS, thereby making peace with God,
for us sinners, through His great sacrifice.
Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to
another, neither my praise to graven
images.
God will not give His glory to another, and if we glorify ourselves we fall into
the sin of pride. So many deliverance
ministers fall at the pride of thinking it was their power, or
their anointing, which caused the devils to be cast out. Rejoice rather, that
your name is written in the Lamb’s
Book of Life, and do NOT forget why.
1 Pet 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of
you be subject one to another, and be
clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth
grace to the humble.
God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble. If we get proud, and puffed
up, then we have grieved God's Holy
Spirit and we will stumble and fall. Realizing that we
have power over
Satan and his kingdom, in the name of Jesus is a heady thing. It is a great
temptation to become vain and proud. The only way to avoid that is to make
sure that we glorify and praise God, for His wonderful work in setting us free from
the slavery to our sins.
If God has been gracious and merciful to deliver us from bondage to a demon, it
is because He has confirmed His Word.
It is because of the power and
authority of His Son's Name to work
that deliverance for us. We MUST remember that it is not for our
own righteousness. It is NOT for our own name's sake, or our own vain glory, that
He has done it.
Isa 48:9-11For my name's sake will I defer mine anger, and for my praise will I
refrain for thee, that I cut thee not off. Behold, I have refined thee, but not
with silver; I have chosen thee in
the furnace of affliction. For mine own sake, even for mine own sake, will
I do it: for how should my name be polluted? and I will not give my glory unto
another.
If we call ourselves Christians, and make the freewill choice to depart from
iniquity, God is glorified in
delivering us from the enemy that oppresses us. We have not done
any good work to deserve this, or paid the price to obtain it.
The Old Testament is full of Scriptures about warfare. The vast majority of the
TACTICS, and means of identifying the
specific demon spirits and how to deal with them is found in the
Old Testament. The revelation of the power Believers
have over demons, and how all curses
may be broken is revealed in the New Testament. However, the primary understandings
of the tactics and methods for deliverance are in the Old Testament. The
Israelites then had to wrestle with flesh and blood. Many Christians recognize that
we do not wrestle with flesh and blood. Most do not wrestle at all.
It is time we ALL must recognize that we are called, and even commanded, in the New Testament, to wrestle with the principalities, powers, rulers of darkness and spiritual wickedness in high places. These are the demons and the strongholds that the demons have built up in our minds through passivity, and vain imaginations, and receiving false doctrines, and receiving the lies of the devil. Receiving these lies of the devil, keeps us in bondage to them, and the devils keep legal grounds and doorways available in us, for them to be able to obtain rest by indwelling our bodies.
When Jesus gave the disciples the authority to use His name and sent them to cast out devils, they knew the Old Testament, so they knew the tactics. They were IMMEDIATELY so successful that Satan, the accuser of the brethren, IMMEDIATELY, came down from his accuser of the brethren position in heaven, LIKE LIGHTENING.
Luke 10:17-21 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name. And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as LIGHTENING fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy: and NOTHING shall by ANY means hurt you. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.
WHEN APOSTATE CHURCHDUMB RECEIVES, BELIEVES, TEACHES AND PREACHES, THE DEVIL’S NUMBER ONE MOST IMPORTANT LIE SO UNANIMOUSLY, THEN ALL THAT IS LEFT IS A VAIN POWERLESS FORM OF GODLINESS THAT DENIES THE POWER THEREOF. 2 Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Do we understand why that LIE is so important to the devil and the whole host of hell? It may be the devil’s most important lie that when a believer is born again, baptized, and receives the Holy Spirit that he can NOT have a devil. THAT IS PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT LIE OF THE DEVIL. The TRUTH is, that such believers are the high priority targets for the devils. Satan already has the unbelievers. Only Believers represent a threat to the devils. And the POWER and AUTHORITY, which the Lord Jesus Christ gives to every believer is DENIED when people receive that lie, that they do not have and/or can not have a devil. Instantly, you have a form of godliness which DENIES the POWER thereof.
2 Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
Brethren, it is time we realize that there are only two kinds of people in the
world, Believers and Unbelievers.
Believers cast out devils, and are constantly on guard to
get them cast out of themselves and others, and keep them out. Unbelievers
DO NOT.

Henry Gruver’s vision of the TWO angels in ROME tells us some very important things for this time NOW, when we see Ken Copeland and other leaders in the so called Word Faith movement dining with the pope in Vatican Roma. We ALL should KNOW that there is real GENUINE power of God by His Holy Spirit, AND there is a world full of COUNTERFEIT spiritual power manifestations, that are NOT of God. Revelation 17 speaks clearly about this great apostasy and abomination.
There are three parts to the gospel of salvation by grace through faith IN the Lord Jesus Christ. All three are essential. They are justification, imputation of Christ's righteousness, and sanctification. We are saved by hope, and justified by faith. The will of God for His children is sanctification, walking in submission to Him, and having victory over sin, the world, the flesh, AND the DEVIL and his demons.
1 Th 4:3-5 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
The will of God is clear. We are to PRESS on to perfection. Sanctification is that growing in grace process. Peter gave an order of this growth. We are to KNOW Him and not just know about Him. He has given us great and precious promises, that do little or no good if we do not know what they are, and IF, there is a condition upon which they are based thaqt we do not know. We are to, by His Holy Spirit, partake of His divine nature, having been given power over ALL the power of the enemy. However, there is a condition. We must exercise our will to turn away from the corruption of the lusts of our flesh.
We have this great faith and precious promises. To this we add virtue, the fruits of the spirit, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control. And to this virtue we add KNOWLEDGE, knowledge of what God Said, rightly divided, in context, with the diligent determination to DO what God said, just because God said so. That is the REAL FAITH that honors God, and will see His exceeding great mighty power manifest. Regarding REAL FAITH, the rest is phony baloney, which will not endure and be able to stand in this evil day.
WE ALL HAVE AN APOSTOLIC ANOINTING FROM THE LORD HIMSELF GIVING US THE HOLY SPIRIT. John Baptist said, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire: We ALL have this apostolic anointing if we are truly born again. We do NOT need new apostles with new doctrines. Rather we need to walk in the apostolic anointing of all BELEVERS to know and walk in the Doctrine of the Apostles which is the Doctrine of Christ. Apostolic Succession is a very great LIE designed to keep believers from walking in the manifest power of God in their Apostolic Anointing to bind and loose, to remit and retain.
Indeed we have been given power over ALL the power of the enemy. However, if we receive the lie that we can not have a demon in our flesh or mind, that power is rendered null and void, because we walk in deception, and deny the truth. The victory of the believers, which gives glory to God in the name of Yeshua, is the casting out of the devils. Believers cast them out. Non-believers, are deceived and do not cast them out. It really is that simple. The way of the believer in glorifying God, who was manifest in the flesh to destroy the works of the devil, is in receiving the truth, acknowledging the truth, and walking in the light of the truth. Then we also know, and will see manifest, that we have been given power over ALL the power of the enemy. We have the power to put down the lusts that entice us, and draw us away from God and into sin, which is transgression of God's laws.
2 Pet 1:3-11 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Heb 5:14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
Heb 6:1-6 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment. And this will we do, if God permit. For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

Chapter 8
Where will you go to get the TRUTH? Our Lord, as He was in agony, literally sweating blood, was found to be praying for us, and told us where we MUST go for the truth. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: THY WORD IS TRUTH. Mat 6:33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY – to seek the kingdom of God – we read His Word and are taught by His Spirit to know better what the King said. For the Kingdom of God is established by the words of the King. John 6:63 - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
As we go on to perfection we must know how to handle heresies and heretics. How is it that BELIEVERS, or people presenting themselves as believers, continue to be allowed to teach heresy? In one word it is VANITY. In another word it is IGNORANCE. Today, that choice of Compromise with Comfort has been made by all except a very small faithful remnant minority who will do Exploits. There will be FEW who choose the Power with Persecution to go on to walk in His power binding and loosing, remitting and retaining for His glory in these days of GREATER WORKS. The majority today indicates a need to be born again, or to be born again, AGAIN, through the grace of God found in REPENTANCE and FAITH in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Will you get truth from Rabbis who have never been born again to receive the Ruach Ha Kodesh, the Holy Spirit of Truth? Will you get truth from Vatican Roma’s pope, hierarchy, tradition, or any of the denominations and leaders who would have fellowship and be joined to the Mother of Harlots? I tell you, sooner or later, you will be deceived, if you go that way of seeking TRUTH. The One whose name is called The Word of God, who IS the TRUTH personified, said NOT to go there. John 17:17 Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.
No matter how much good stuff they may have at other times taught. No matter how good of a show they may have put on. No matter how great the parties are that they can throw. No matter how fancy their garments may be to deceive. It is time such FALSE TEACHERS be REBUKED and EXPOSED, and called to demonstrate some fruit meet for repentance.
We are warned that in these last days of Strong Delusion even the VERY ELECT would be deceived IF IT WERE POSSIBLE.
How is it possible? The answer is that men of God fail to PUBLICLY REBUKE and mark such false teachers. Men of God fail to publicly call them to repent of their false doctrines and false teachings. Men of God fail to insist that such teachers, yes, all of them use the God Promised PERFECT and only Holy Bible in English, the Authorized Version, the KJV, which I like to call the King Jesus Version. You will find it common among such deceived deceivers that they do NOT use the Authorized, God promised, purified seven times, every word perfect, Holy Bible. They will promote some Hebrew rootie tootied bible or just about any profane bible other than THE Holy Bible, because scripture ignorance and confusion advances their personal agenda.
Brethren, these are perilous times and days of Strong Delusion. Today anyone presuming to teach the people of God from any bible other than the KJV must needs be suspect, and should be ashamed. Just because it is Hebraic or rabbinic does not make it good and/or true. This is a New Testament COMMANDMENT of God - 1 Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. We have been given the means to PROVE what is the truth by the God promised and only PERFECT Holy Bible. We do not go to alternate renderings, and we certainly do not want to go to the Mishnah, or the Talmud, or God Forbid the Kaballah. Those writings were of men who did NOT and could NOT have had the Holy Spirit of Truth in them.
Under the leadership of Kenneth Copeland the entire so-called Word Faith movement has proven itself to be apostate by joining to THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. Watch for a quantum increase in the pretended signs and wonders, the manifestations of Jannes & Jambres, AND LET NO MAN DECEIVE YOU.
Beware of anyone presuming to have an improved bible.
Do NOT support or tolerate teachers
who claim to be Messianic BELIEVERS:
IF They would question Paul’s Apostolic authority.
IF
They would question the authority of the books which Paul wrote in the KJV Holy
Bible.
That is especially true of the book of Hebrews which was written by Paul,
under the inspiration of the Holy
Spirit of Truth, SPECIFICALLY to Messianic Jewish BELIEVERS.
IF They wear rough or special garments to deceive.
IF They would teach the New Testament was ORIGINALLY written in any other language than Greek.
IF They would have the slightest problem in confessing that JESUS CHRIST IS COME IN THE FLESH.
IF They would say that Jesus is not a wonderful and powerful Name.
IF They would say I am Anointed, as a prophet, or special unique teacher of God. Saying I am Anointed is exactly the same as saying I am Christ.i
Beware of any church that has any association with the World Council of Churches or has a 501c3 tax contract with the state.
Zec 13:2-3 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the LORD of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land. And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the LORD: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth. And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they a rough garment to deceive:
Brethren, we are without excuse. We have the God promised PERFECT, Authorized, KJV Holy Bible. We are without excuse if we have NOT read that King Jesus Version the way God said to read it, EVERY WORD, precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line, Gen 1:1-Rev 22:21, so that we may KNOW what God has said IN CONTEXT, rightly divided. It is the responsibility of every believer to identify and call the false teachers to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God, not alternate renderings, not the Mishnah, not the Talmud, and certainly not the Kabala.
We all should recognize an important COMMAND of the Lord to every one of us in these last days of strong delusion. The Lord instructs us to genuinely love the false teachers by calling them to repentance. Luke 17:3 Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him. What if he will not repent? That would almost preclude restoration. Then genuine Biblical love requires this discipline regardless of whatever other good things that they may have done or taught - Titus 3:10-11 A man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself. It is precisely because these Biblical disciplines of genuine LOVE are NOT being followed that the deceived deceivers will be coming to judgment and destruction. It is precisely because these Biblical disciplines of genuine LOVE are NOT being followed that it becomes not only possible, but it even appears easy for even the very elect to be deceived.
Heresy is a self-chosen belief in opposition to the Holy Scriptures. That SELF is the key word in the identification of heresy and heretics. The Holy Bible makes very clear distinction between simple, uninformed, or ignorant heretics, and DAMNABLE heretics.
It should be noted that BEFORE God did provide Himself, as the Lamb of God, to take away the sin of the world, the Torah called for the death penalty for certain serious violations of the Law of God. The reason for this necessity, BEFORE the coming of the Kingdom of God, in the person of Messiah Yeshua, is that there was no other way to break, or limit the extent of the curse. Demonic license was gained through certain serious transgressions of the Law of God, and the demonic host gained a legal right to destroy the people of God. Through the power of the blood of Messiah, the Lamb of God, prophesied by Abraham and Moses, all curses may NOW be broken. Thus the need for the death penalty, for such things as gross sexual sin, false teachers, false prophets, and witches is not required. Their foot will slide in due time.
It should be understood that if a heresy becomes accepted by the majority, as being a true belief, that does NOT stop the heresy from being heresy. This is why the understanding of HERESY and how faithful remnant believers should deal with it, is so important. The last days, we do know, will be marked by a world-wide famine for hearing the Word of God. The last days of the antichrist war on the SAINTS is to be marked by a great apostasy, a great falling away from THE Faith. That means that heresy will be the majority belief, as the majority will depart from the FAITH.

Tim 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but
after their own lusts shall they heap
to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
Titus 1:9-11 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may
be able by sound doctrine both to
exhort and to convince the gainsayers. For there are many unruly
and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths
must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought
not, for filthy lucre's sake.
2 Th 2:8-12 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: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
SELF-Chosen Beliefs that contradict or deny God Inspired revelations contained in, and easily confirmed by, the More Sure Word of the Holy Bible is the basis of defining heresy. The heretics oppose themselves, by self-chosen beliefs, in opposition to the Word of God. Often the heresy of the heretic may be the result of never having read the Holy Bible, or having been taught to believe error by a false teacher. Such simple heretics when confronted with the truth of the Scriptures may be led by the Spirit of Truth and Holiness, to put aside their false beliefs in preference to the truth of the Word of God. However, when the heretic is given the first admonition, often the demonic characteristics associated with many heresies, will manifest. That demonic spirit may be a spirit of rebellion, or a religious spirit, in addition to pride and envy. After the second admonition, the heretic - yes, even the simple heretic, is to be rejected.
As we look at what the Holy Bible says, there are different types or levels of heresy. In Acts 5:17, 15:5; and 26:5, it simply means a party or sect, or what we call a denomination. In Acts 24:14 and 28:22 it is used in a slightly derogatory sense, referring to Christians being separatists or sectarians, by the more mainstream majority of the Jewish rabbis.
Paul used the term heresies to refer to groups, which threatened the harmony, and unity of the Church. 1 Cor 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you. The heresies were described by the disgraceful way in which the Corinthians were observing the Lord's Supper. Paul would sometimes use the term heresy as the source of factions or divisions. In Galatians 5:20 we are clearly told that heresy is one of the works of the flesh, in the list along with strife, seditions, and envyings. SELF really is the KEY word in understanding heresy. Invariably heretics are people who choose to place their own desires above the fellowship of their brethren, or even the love of the truth, as defined by the Word of God.
In Titus 3:10-11 we are given direction regarding heretics and how we are to deal with them. The context of these verses has to do with quarreling and dissensions. The FROWARD person will even invent things to separate brethren from one another. Heresy and factions go together. In God’s Kingdom there is no such thing as a little rebellion. Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and obedience is better than sacrifice.
In 2 Peter 2:1 we see what the CLEAR Difference between heretics and DAMNABLE heretics involves. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. The damnable heretic clearly refers to the false teachers or false prophets who DENY the TRUTH OF THE PERSON AND WORK OF MESSIAH. The damnable heretic is one who has left the Doctrine of Christ. The damnable heretic does not recognize Yeshua the Messiah, as God, the Son. The damnable heretic is different from the simple heretic, or Jew, in that the damnable heretic has DEPARTED from the Doctrine of Messiah. Most Jews, because of persecution by so-called Christians, have never really been exposed to the Doctrine of Messiah, or the Doctrine of the Apostles. Most Jews have NOT Departed from the Doctrine of Christ.
Heresy may have as much to do with fellowship within the church as it does with doctrinal teachings, if the heresy is NOT DAMNABLE heresy. Doctrine and actions are equally important. Wrong attitudes such as counterfeit religious spirits, and spirits of rebellion, and improper attitudes, are as important as the depth of understanding of what God has revealed to man. However in 2 John 7-11 we see that we are not even to say God Bless you, or bid God speed, and most certainly not give substance support, to the DAMNABLE heretic. In those few verses we also see precisely what defines the damnable heretic.
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess NOT that Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we lose not those things which we have wrought, but that we receive a full reward. Whosoever transgresseth, and ABIDETH NOT in the Doctrine of Christ, hath NOT God. He that ABIDETH in the Doctrine of Christ, he hath BOTH the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring NOT this doctrine, receive him NOT into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds. 2 John 7-11.
We see that the damnable heretic is one who has departed from the Doctrine of Christ, more so than one who had never had opportunity to know. Tragically, the vast majority of Jews do not know their own glorious Messiah, because of how they have been persecuted by so-called Christians, under the leadership of the black witchcraft Babylonian religion of Rome. Sadly the Protestants never protested this, and have often followed the lead of the heretic apostate Roman Catholic Church.
The vast majority of Roman Catholics have never read the Holy Bible. The vast majority of Roman Catholics are in the same blindness of the pagans, heathen, Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists and other religions who are trying to find eternal life in a DIFFERENT Way other than the Doctrine of Messiah. The damnable heretic is one who has known, or had previously professed to know, the REAL Messiah, who is BOTH God and man, who is BOTH Creator and Redeemer, and now professes a Messiah who is less than fully God, and equal with the Father, in power, authority, and eternity. The damnable heretic now professes a different Jesus other than the REAL true Jesus Christ, who is God the Son, the I AM, who spoke to Abraham, and Moses, who is BOTH Creator and Redeemer. The DAMNABLE Heretic professes faith in another Jesus, and another Gospel.
Gal 1:8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Gal 1:9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
A sad reality today is, that within large Messianic congregations of over 100, one will generally find a small COVERT cell, within the congregation, who have another Messiah, who is NOT FULLY God who IS Come in the flesh. What they have is the powerful demon religious spirits that go with the ground given by the age old Arian heresy, which is the Synagogue of Satan, with which all of the Apostles did earnestly contend. In the first century, there were Jewish Synagogues that did profess that Yeshua was the Messiah, while denying that He was God. This Hebrew spin of the common Jehovah Witness, or Christadelphia heresy is DEADLY and DAMNABLE Heresy.
That is part of the reason why the simple and yet powerful test of the Spirit is so important. Just ask them to say – Jesus Christ IS Come in the flesh. Those in the secret and/or sacred name heresy groups will find that simple test of the spirit to be difficult. I have yet to see the Satanist who could pass that simple test without great difficulty. Many will say Yeshua did come in the flesh. Or Messiah has come in the flesh. Though true, that is still FAILING the simple test of the Spirit. The “IS Come” profession involves the acknowledgment that Jesus or Yeshua is fully God the I AM, who spoke to Abraham and Moses, who is BOTH Creator and Redeemer. If you find some Messianic rabbi today, who has the slightest hitch, or reluctance to boldly confess that “Jesus Christ IS COME in the flesh,” BEWARE. The more you apply that simple test of the spirits, the more you will be amazed at how effective and powerful that simple test of the spirits is, to remove the sheep’s clothing from the wolves. Jesus Christ IS Come in the flesh – that simple statement will disclose many subtle damnable heretics in these last days of Strong Delusion.
Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof. Every man's work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is. If any man's work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward.
We will labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: Being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day. I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. For we are made partakers of Christ, if we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; While it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the provocation.
Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished: But chiefly them that walk after the flesh in the lust of uncleanness, and despise government. Presumptuous are they, selfwilled, they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities.
But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless.
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him. Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us.

Chapter 9
As we continue this preparation to go on to perfection, I want to continue to encourage you to listen several times to Henry Gruver’s vision of TWO great Black Angels of Lucifer in Vatican Roma. Much truth necessary to expose the LIES, which have us so bound, are exposed in that vision and just as importantly that we should NO LONGER be so bound. The importance of that audio file can hardly be overstated, knowing that Kenneth Copeland is just returned from the in Vatican Roma meeting with Pope Francis, and the highest so-called leaders of what is called evangelical Christianity. For almost 16 hundred years Lucifer somehow managed to STEAL away that great manifest power of God and keep it away from the Church, and keep it out of reach from all but a very few saints. We must know the truth regarding these big lies and major revisions of history, which have so bound us that certain things seem out of reach. The greater works of John 14:2 and exploits Dan 11:32 are open to us if we would biblically prepare, and then to go on to perfection.
IT CAN NOT POSSIBLY BE OVERSTATED THAT THE BIG PROBLEM WITH JEROME'S LATIN VULGATE IS HOW THE APOCRYPHA, WHICH BY DEFINITION, IS NOT SCRIPTURE, IS WOVEN RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE SCRIPTURES. THE UNINFORMED READER OF CATHOLIC BIBLES DOES NOT KNOW THESE UNKNOWN ORIGIN BOOKS, OFTEN CONTAINING PAGAN ABOMINABLE PRACTICES, IS LED TO BELIEVE THIS IS SCRIPTURE. IF THE APOCRYPHA, WHICH BY DEFINITION IS NOT SCRIPTURE, IS PRESENTED AS SCRIPTURE, THEN THE BIBLE BECOMES BABYLON CONFUSION AND UNRELIABLE, AND CERTAINLY NOT THE WORD OF GOD, AND NOT POSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND. Such Bibles become tools of men who are deceived, and willingly deceive, merchandise, and traffic in the souls of men.
The top 50 learned men of the realm were called by the King to do a job, which was the king’s highest priority. All 50 of these men were known to be men of prayer, who were well known to have studied to show themselves approved unto God, well known by all to be apt to teach. Those fifty men in my humble opinion, in a world of 7 Billion people, one could not find such a well equipped perfectly chosen group of 50, most qualified and faithful men, to do the king’s top priority job today. They reached and surpassed their mark. This greatest group of literary genius ever assembled were the most highly skilled in the world, in the languages of Hebrew, Greek, Latin, and English and many more, operated under the authority of a king, and stated their mark, their purpose, their goal, in their Preface to the Reader - "out of many good ones, one principall good one, not justly to be excepted against;" (Quote from 1611 KJV - Translators To The Reader)
Did you see that? Not JUSTLY to be excepted against. Consider that. I have made that a test of the spirits in new people that I meet or would listen to. It has never failed to work. If someone brings any attack large or small on the KJV then I know I am dealing with an UNRIGHTEOUS Judge. It could just be simple ignorance, which is easy to cure for anyone willing, Usually it is vanity. In these last days it seems to be more willful sin and willful rebellion.
Apocrypha are UNKNOWN origin. Apocrypha therefore can NOT be Scripture. No one knows who wrote the Apocrypha but the educated guess is the early Gnostic damnable heretics because of the support in the Apocrypha for pagan practices that God tells us are abominable. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME. But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it. It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. Ye shall not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you. What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:) Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.) But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book. Psa 138:2, Luke 11:28 John 6:63 Deu 4:2 Deu 12:32 Psa 119:89 Rom 10:6 Rom 10:7 Rev 22:18 Rev 22:19
It should be stated that there were good Old Latin Vulgate Bibles that DID NOT include the Apocrypha. Such pure unadulterated Holy Bibles, such as the Old Latin and the Old Syriac were in use since as early as 150 AD. Christians in North Africa had them, as well as people like the Waldensens, Paulicians, and Voudois. Those unadulterated pure Bibles in Old Latin and variants, were from the great Church at Antioch, Syria, as early as 150 AD, and have been traced to them. Also the Old Testament in pure unadulterated letter perfect form were in Jewish synagogues throughout the world. This fact that unadulterated Old Testaments in Hebrew were available in the hands of the Jews, IN FACT, is the Basis of the GREAT HATRED and slaughter by Vatican Roma of Jews through the last 1600 years of history. Hitler's Holocaust was a continuation of the inquisition of Vatican Roma. There were 5 million Bible believing Christians who went to Hitler's gas chambers along with the 6 million Jews. Vatican Roma actually put Mohammed in the religion business to KILL PEOPLE OF THE BOOK – people who believed the Word of God as contained in unadulterated Old and New Testament, who believed the HOLY Bible, Jews and Real Christians.
With the Apocrypha, Roman Catholicism became a Babylonian, Luciferian, sun
god pagan religion with Christian terms. More specifically it is Roman Mithraism,
as practiced by the first Pope, Roman Emperor, Constantine The Great,
with Christian terms applied, BUT ROMAN CATHOLICISM IS NOT CHRISTIAN.
Today few Roman Catholics understand that they are NOT Christians. Roman Catholics do not know or understand that what they are Catholic about is the application of Christian terminology to PAGANISM. Most Roman Catholics think they have the oldest, biggest, and most well organized of all possible Christian Churches. With the Apocrypha woven into the bibles of Vatican Roma, they become full of confusion, contradiction, as well as acceptance of things God has very clearly said are forbidden ABOMINATIONS. The Apocrypha teaches such abominations as the command to use magic (Tobit 6:5-7), Forgiveness of sins by giving money (Tobit 4:11; 12:9), Prayers for the Dead AND offering of money for the sins of the dead (2 Maccabees 12:43-45).
Such adulterated bibles do NOT lead to real faith, and can actually block real Christian faith. Adulterated bibles produce doubt, and confusion, and false hope of salvation, by the religious stuff Vatican Roma has for sale. The pagan religion of Vatican Roma, even with its Christian terms and facade of Christianity, prevents Roman Catholics from really hearing or understanding THE Gospel, the Doctrine of Christ, or the Doctrine of the Apostles.
One of the undeniable facts of history is that the first pope was Constantine the Great. The first Roman Catholic Pope, claiming all of the titles of Pagan Rome, was Boniface III who began his, and all-official Vatican Roma popery, in 603 AD.
There was no such thing as a real pope until after 603. The Apostle Peter NEVER
set foot in Rome. Peter's grave was found, and archaeologically verified
in Jerusalem in 1953. This was one of the greatest embarrassments of
Vatican Roma’s history. The Scriptures were clear that Peter NEVER SET FOOT
IN ROME. This great archaeological evidence, NUKES Vatican Roma's great
lie of Apostolic Succession. It is amazing how few seem to know of this, which
certainly should be in the top ten most significant of all archaeological discoveries.
Both the Rheims and the Challoner versions of the revised text of Vatican Roma rest upon Jerome's Latin Vulgate. This has been made necessary by a desire to have the version available for liturgical use. Jerome's Latin Vulgate NEW TESTAMENT has some serious real problems but the OLD TESTAMENT is adulterated and corrupt. Yes, it is very old, but not as old as the unadulterated Old Latin bibles, or the Old Syriac, and nowhere near as old as the Dead Sea Scrolls.
One of the BIG PROBLEMS of Jerome's Latin Vulgate is in Luke 1:28. In the Dark Ages, Vatican Roma did everything humanly and demonically possible to obliterate all pure unadulterated Bibles, by the wholesale slaughtering MILLIONS of Jews and the REAL Christians that preserved them. In those dark ages when Vatican Roma kept The HOLY BIBLE away from all people, GRACE was understood to be a substance, like water, which can be said to fill a cup. The Latin, predictably, says that Mary is “full of grace” (ave gratia plena) and reflects this view of grace. Erasmus, who was arguably the greatest and most gifted of all translators ever, though a Roman Catholic priest, was honest with the Greek text, which states that Mary “has found favor with God.”
Another example of a BIG PROBLEM with Jerome's Latin Vulgate in his New Testament is with how he translated Matthew 4:17. The Vulgate says DO PENANCE facilitating the whole corrupt antichrist Roman Catholic system of salvation by works. It particularly facilitates the sale of Vatican Roma's indulgences. Matt 4:17 says - From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Jesus and all the apostles, as well as John the Baptist always preached REPENTANCE AND NOT PENANCE. When the Word of God says REPENT, one will find the Latin Vulgate bibles saying DO PENANCE. Repentance is a turning to God and implies a change that has nothing to do with any ecclesiastical organization.
Another BIG PROBLEM with the Vatican Roma’s Vulgate is Matt 6:11. Literally TENS of MILLIONS have been slaughtered by Vatican Roma, because they would NOT accept Vatican Roma’s false doctrine of TRANSUBSTANTIATION. The doctrine claims the priests of Rome by their hocus pocus create the Creator. The deadly false doctrine actually claims that Vatican Roma’s priests are empowered to change the substance of bread into the literal substance of Christ, the literal body, blood, bone, indeed very Christ Himself, to be worshipped. Look at the comparison of the Vulgate and the KJV Holy Bible. There can be little wonder why the Roman Catholic Ten Commandments eliminate commandment number two, and split Commandment number ten in two parts. People who have not been deceived and brainwashed see the obvious idolatry.
Matt 6:11 in Latin from the Vulgate:
panem nostrum supersubstantialem da nobis hodie
The Vulgate translation to English:
Give us this day our supersubstantial bread.
From the KJV Holy Bible:
Give us this day our daily bread.
There is no way to FIND supersubstantialem FROM ANY Greek scripture not under Vatican Roma’s control and or revision. The intentional ERROR in Matt 6:11 of the Vulgate is to try to have some biblical basis for the pagan priestcraft of the Transubstantiation doctrine.
Other errors in the Latin Vulgate establish the OTHER Gospel of Vatican Roma. We should know what Gal 1:8-9 says - But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. Vatican Roma’s gospel is the OTHER GOSPEL OF RELIGIOUS WORKS. Vatican Roma has indulgences, and whatever religious comfort there is in the deceptions of Lucifer FOR SALE. Roman Catholic rank and file are in Nicolaitane spiritual bondage (Rev 2:6 and 15), by false doctrines like its Purgatory Lie, Apostolic Succession Lie, its Auricular Confession Lie, and of course it’s Transubstantiation Lie. The Latin Vulgate errors would lead people who would be deceived by it to believe that salvation is by what Vatican Roma has for sale rather than by GRACE EVIDENCED IN REPENTANCE AND FAITH IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Looking quickly now at the Henry Gruver vision of the TWO Angels in Vatican Roma we can see and learn much. The TWO angels of Henry’s vision bring to mind the image in Daniel 2 giving the full panorama of history and the 4th beast at the end in Daniel 7. The 2 legs of iron identify the central character of history to pull off this great theft of stealing the apostolic anointing that the Lord intended for EVERY BELIEVER. The 2 angels and 2 legs also gives insight to how this great manifest power of God in the life of Every BELIEVER has been so effectively kept from all for over 1600 years. It does NOT have to be that way. We have seen one of the legs of the GREAT LIE of Apostolic Succession and the other leg means of preventing the apostolic anointing to walk in His great power of binding and loosing remitting and retaining is how the Hoiy Bible has been taken away. Remember within 400 years from Christ there were over 500 translations into different languages of the Holy Bible. Within 100 years after Constantine, in the west, those had been reduced to just one, Latin.
Now that we know the truth we can now be set free. Henry Gruver’s vision of the Two Angels in Vatican Roma makes that so clear. It is greater works time, it is exploit time, let us not let it pass us by. Let us no longer walk in the way of Comfort and Compromise. Even though we KNOW we will be persecuted and tribulated, let us now walk in the apostolic anointing He has given us to walk IN, His exceeding great power for His Glory. Let us go on to perfection and walk in His power of binding and loosing remitting and retaining. We will not let these last days of greater works and exploits pass us by.
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. For the great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?

A few years ago I was given to write another little book on Positional Authority that we have in Christ. You may find those 4 audio files that give you that book in audio format on the GJiGT. I believe you will find them to be very helpful in learning how to fully submit to God:

We MUST consider THE Covenant. We are not talking of the Old Covenant or New Covenant; we are talking of THE Covenant, very definite article, the everlasting covenant. Here is just one of many reasons why we MUST now consider THE Covenant. Dan 11:32 And such as do wickedly against THE COVENANT shall he (antichrist) corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
We should understand that a covenant, which is a treaty, or agreement between two parties, does not have to be made between equal parties. In fact, THE Covenant could not possibly have more unequal parties. THE Covenant was made 100% by God and his people were to have no input. God had no need for the Covenant, but the people desperately needed the covenant if they were to have any real means to KNOW God. The Covenant provided the way whereby people could KNOW God rather than just knowing about God. The Covenant provides the way where one may know what sin is, for sin is the transgression of the law. THE Covenant is still the only thing the Holy Spirit uses to bring anyone to know his or her need for the Saviour. The Covenant is the Royal Law of the King, the law of love, life, and liberty. The Covenant is a reflection of the Character of God, in terms of Holiness, Love, and Freedom, AKA the Ten Commandments.
No one would doubt that King David REALLY KNEW God. King David did REALLY KNOW God and not just know about God. God’s final word regarding David says that very thing about David - Acts 13:22 - He raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
I thank God for all of the Scriptures given to us through King David. I will give you just a few of the verses that show how it was that David came to KNOW God so well. HE WOULD COMMUNE WITH GOD ABOUT THE COVENANT. He would never think of doing WICKEDLY AGAINST THE Covenant. Whenever he had time David would be communing with God about THE Covenant. As he did this he would better KNOW God’s Character. Again, I could probably give you easily ten times these few verses but I think you will see it from these few.
Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways. Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments. I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee. Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes. I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word. Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law. I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
We see clearly from just those few verses that David’s thinking in his heart was always OPPOSED TO DOING WICKEDLY AGAINST THE COVENANT.
What about Constantine the Great and all the subsequent Vatican Roman popes all the way to Francis, THE GUILE champion, Pope War, who always appears as a lamb, and ALWAYS speaks as a DRAGON? Idolatry and idols is a big part of Paganism. They have done wickedly against THE Covanant by eliminating #2, changing #4, and splitting #10. With that wicked dealing with THE Covenant the pope claims to be bigger than God. With the form of covenant according to the pope, it becomes impossible for Roman Catholics to avoid doing wickedly against the covenant. And what about the great Reformers of the Protestant Reformatiion? YES, THEY DID WICKEDLY AGAINST THE COVENANT IN NOT PROTESTING VATICAN ROMA’S CHANGING OF THE COVENANT. The people were left without the means of examining themselves to see if they be in the faith.
1 John 2:3 And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.
THE Covenant states Commandment #1 and #2 like this in Exodus 20 and it is also stated as such in Deuteronomy 5:
I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
David, in the Psalms, summarized it this way, The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul (Psalm 19:7). Converted from a condemned sinner to a saved, transformed, victorious child of the King! God’s holy law, the perfect law of liberty, with its precise requirements to guide our choices and actions, is designed to show us our sin and our need of a Savior. “Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good” (Romans 7:12).
A law of bondage? God forbid. Not at all. James describes God’s ROYAL LAW, the covenant, as the law of liberty, But he who looks into the perfect law of liberty and continues in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this one will be blessed in what he does (James 1:25). So speak and so do as those who will be judged by the law of liberty” (James 2:12). True liberty means freedom from sin and from its condemnation.
Pagan religions have always been known to have heavy use of idols. The idols may be pictures, images, or objects to REPRESENT God in their worship. The Second Commandment of THE Covenant should provoke many questions such as - How do we know that such use of art is sin? Why would God not approve of using an object as an aid in worshipping Him? How can images, pictures, or symbols such as crucifixes interfere with proper worship? Is it possible to make an image of God that is true to reality? What about pictures or images of Jesus? Does the second commandment prohibit those? What consequences occur when someone is not represented correctly? For God to allow anything to represent Him, which no image or picture can, God would have to accept false witness. God’s jealously protects His character and Being - Isa 42:8 I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.
How does God distinguish between those who hate Him and those who love Him? Very simple - John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. To whom does God show mercy? What the Lord said in John 4:23-24 really gives perspective to that issue. But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.
I have talked with men of God with deep knowledge of Scriptures and church history like Brother RW, Brother Ebenezer, Henry Gruver, and many others. Everyone who has studied the issue of the reason Constantine would have considered making a pseudo Christianity the state religion was the fact that Biblical Christianity was, at the time, the dominant religion. Even the worst persecution ever under his predecessor Diocletian saw the numbers of Christians rapidly increasing and by no means decreasing. Constantine was reacting to something he viewed as inevitable in order to try and maintain control over Christianity and bring it into submission to the state. Up until that point of time the majority of the people in the Roman Empire, who were not Christians, would at least acknowledge the Roman Emperor as A god, if not necessarily THE god or the ONLY God. Constantine would have never felt the need to put a Christian veneer on a pagan religion and call it the state religion were it not for the fact that Christianity was the dominant religion in the Roman Empire at that time.
The key component that is most obviously transferred into the Roman Catholic religion is that you have a man who is worshiped as God. One of the reasons that the Jews were so persecuted was that they were monotheistic and would not recognize any of the Emperors as a god. All the other religions would tolerate ecumenicalism and allow their followers to worship their gods and also worship the Roman Emperor whereas the Jews would never do so, the heart of the Torah is the Shema and that means no Jew could ever recognize an emperor as being an incarnate god.
Most do not know that Christianity was the dominant world religion during the time Constantine became emperor and first pope. Yet it becomes obvious when one considers the fact that Constantine felt the need to usurp Christianity that this must have been the case. Historically the picture is that the Church was small and persecuted and a small percentage of the population until the time of Constantine, and then it became a widespread religion when it was made the state religion. The opposite was actually true, Christianity was the predominant religion and then Constantine offered a counterfeit which deceived many into turning away from the pure gospel and then over time led to greater and greater lies and heresies until the majority of people who professed to be Christians actually were not. Yet there has always been a persecuted remnant few that remained Biblically and Apostolically orthodox. This faithful remnant few became an ever smaller and even more persecuted minority which were more and more scattered under Roman rule throughout the dark ages until the time of the Protestant Reformation.
The Lord Jesus Christ wrote the 10 Commandments of THE Covenant in stone for Moses. It is the everlasting Royal Law of love, life, and liberty. It was never to be changed. Constantine and all of the subsequent popes have DONE WICKEDLY AGAINST THE COVENANT, by eliminating #2, changing #4, and splitting #10. The Protestant Reformers protested many things that should have been protested, however, the fact remains, they did wickedly against THE Covenant. Have you and I done wickedly against THE Covenant. If so, let us do so no longer. Yes, you will be persecuted. However, this can prevent us from walking in the apostolic anointing that the Lord intends for ALL of His saints to bind and loose and remit or retain, to resist the devil and see him flee from before us.
Mother Mary has never heard a single Hail Mary. No departed saint in heaven has ever heard a single prayer prayed unto them. It is Necromancy PERIOD. God HATES this conjuring spirits of the dead for any reason. Any apparent miracle or apparent answer to such prayer to departed saints is from Satan and his deceivers. Any of this sort of prayer or worship of saints or angels is certain DECEPTION and a very quick way to have the conscience seared with a hot iron.
Lev 20:6 And the soul that turneth after such as have familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go a whoring after them, I will even set my face against that soul, and will cut him off from among his people.
Isa 8:19-20 And when they shall say unto you, Seek unto them that have familiar spirits, and unto wizards that peep, and that mutter: should not a people seek unto their God? for the living to the dead? To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.

It is very important that all of the faithful remnant understand the great
falling away from THE Faith. We all
should be about confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhort
one another to continue in THE Faith, and that we must through much
tribulation, enter into the Kingdom of God. In discussing this with elders among
the saints scattered abroad to know
the major concerns of the church in the Great Apostasy
in which we all now do live, these were the top three:
1) The Church does NOT Fear God and Keep His Commandments.
2) The Church does NOT Know and therefore does not believe the Word of God.
3) The Church has received and preaches Another Gospel and therefore can NOT recognize
the difference between the Holy Spirit of Truth and counterfeit deceiving spirits.
We do know that the statement, that the church has received and preaches Another Gospel,
is provocative. However, it is the sad truth. To know how it happened is helpful
that we may see more clearly through this strong delusion. It is fact that it began
shortly after WWI, with the Scofield reference bible. That happened after the
British East India Co. put John Darby on their payroll. Darby was sent to America,
with the specific purpose of weakening the strong Faith of American Christians,
by the Illuminati Satanist controlled
British East India company. Darby was to hook up with an infamous lawyer,
by the name of C I Scofield, to
produce the Scofield reference bible and promote Dispensational theology.
Few realize, that Dispensational theology was not just the start of pre-trib
lala land; but, IN FACT, it is
Another Gospel. (Gal 1:8-9) It is the Best Selling gospel, and sadly,
it is another gospel. Today's Best Selling gospel will claim to deliver from the penalty
of sin without requiring repentance and turning away from sins. Repentance is
central to The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Repentance
is necessary to turn from self-will to do the will of God.
Sister Joanne Pask, I recall as the first I heard to express this truth so well,
by saying – Most who would call
themselves Christians today, seem to have received just enough of
THE Gospel to become immune to it. The Biblical or True Gospel is NOT good news
to the masses of churched people today. The theologians, and honest men in the
church business, know this. The Biblical, or True Gospel, has NOT been the Best
Selling gospel for a long time now. The people in the church business know you must
have a Best Selling gospel; because, there are very Few today, who would be willing
to give up their own way for ANYTHING. Jesus said, in Rev 3:14-16, of us in this
Laodicean Church Age - 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; I know thy works,
that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee
out of my mouth.
The Best Selling gospel tries to make a way for those who do NOT wish to give up
their own way and obey God. The Best
Selling gospel will permit people to live their own lives,
in all important areas, such as finances, work, and school, family, and leisure
time.
God knows I repent, but I still am sad whenever I do think of the thousands of 4
Spiritual Laws Tracts that I gave
out, before coming to know the Truth about the Best Selling gospel.
There are problems with the Best Selling gospel; because, Jesus said you MUST
be born again. Today there are masses that need to be born again, AGAIN. The True
Gospel says that you must die to self. Can anyone REALLY be "born again" and be
made a new creature in Christ, by receiving the Best Selling gospel? That is a
good, serious, and provocative
question.
Sadly, very few really see what all happened with the Dispensational theology
belief system. The resulting Best
Selling gospel has been pervasive through all of what is normally
called the Christian Church.
Whenever the Scriptures speak of salvation, it is always "repent and believe."
Healing may be "only believe" but
salvation is always, of necessity, "repent and believe." The word
Jesus preached was no different than John Baptist, or Paul, or Moses.
Mark 1:4 John did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the remission of sins.
Mark 1:14 Now after that John was put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee,
preaching the gospel of the kingdom
of God,
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at
hand: repent ye, and believe the
gospel.
Luke 24:46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to
suffer, and to rise from the dead the
third day:
Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his
name among all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem.
Repentance is always the foundation of the Gospel of the Kingdom of the Lord
Jesus Christ. If repentance is not
overtly stated, it is in the context. In addition, the BS gospel uses
the meaning of the word, "believe," as head knowledge of the facts. If you will check
in Strong's for that word "believe" it is from "pisteuo" which means trusting,
or putting confidence in Christ,
instead of yourself.
The reason that the BS gospel could not be effectively preached before about
1918, is that the total dedication
demanded by the four Gospels had to be removed. It wasn't
until the Dispensational teaching of Darby, better known as the Dispensational theology,
of the Scofield reference bible, RELEGATED the discipline taught by the four
Gospels, to an EARLIER DISPENSATION. Darby and Scofield also taught that all
miracles and spiritual gifts were done away. There is a tremendous problem in relegating
everything before Cornelius as a dispensation of law, and after that, we now
have this new dispensation of grace. The Scriptures clearly teach that "By the works
of the law, no flesh shall be justified before God." But what sort of faith is
it that despises the Royal Law of
God???
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we
establish the law.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast
rejected knowledge, I will also
reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten
the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
All should plainly see, that God's message of salvation, has always been by
grace, whether in the Old Testament
or in the New Testament. This is why the sacrifice system
was set up. By the Substitution Sacrifice System God could show mercy to REPENTANT
people. The difference between before and after Christ is that now, through
identification in Christ's death, we receive power from
the Holy Spirit, to overcome the sins
that we repented of previously. However, the first step of identification
in the death of the sacrificial lamb for the forgiveness remains the SAME.
God can NOT Lie. God does NOT Change. IMMUTABLE means does NOT change. The
Substitution Sacrifice System, for God to show mercy to REPENTANT people, has
not been changed; RATHER it is fulfilled and made PERFECT. The perfect Lamb
of God, Yeshua the Messiah, is both the Sacrifice, and the Great High Priest. Our
personal responsibility, and our personal identification of our sins, requiring
that greatest of all Sacrifice, is
STILL essential. We MUST STILL identify with the Substitution
Sacrificial DEATH of Messiah. That is done through repentance. That has not,
and does not, change. It always was, IS, and will always be, GRACE. The wages of
sin is death. Death of the body of sinful flesh is still required and
accomplished IN Christ. The gospel
for Jim, most simply put is - Jim dead and Christ alive. Yeshua must
increase and I must decrease.
Most churched people do not seem to understand the true meaning of basic essential
words, of the Word of God, related to the Gospel of the Kingdom of Yeshua,
today. There is so much confusion with the Best Selling gospel. Most churched
people, today, have had their conscience seared by the Best Selling gospel.
Sadly, Yeshua said of the church, of this Laodacean church age, they do
NOT know, "and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor,
and blind, and naked:" Rev 3:17
Perversion version bibles also contribute greatly in the confusion necessary to
make the Best Selling gospel sear so
many consciences. The perversion version bibles were
put together by some of the greatest ministers of the devil of all time.
Westcott and Hort are among the most
notable. Today, talking with many so-called Christians it
is like talking with JW and/or Mormon Cult members, ten years ago. SAME WORDS - DIFFERENT
UNDERSTANDING, terms need to be defined. Today, we need to define the
true Biblical meaning of the key foundational Gospel terms. Those meanings must be
according to their meaning as the Apostles spoke them. The words related to salvation,
in the Biblical Gospel of the Kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ, must be understood
in the meaning and the context of the Holy Bible. The words of the gospel MUST
be understood as they were recorded, preserved, and purified, 7 times by the Holy
Ghost, according to the promise of God given in Ps 12:6-7.
It is amazing how many people, who claim to know there is only ONE Holy God, do not
realize what is wrong with the very idea of more than ONE Holy Bible.
This point is so important to the propagation of the Best Selling gospel that we
should see what, perhaps the last
honest scholar of Bible Languages, had to say about it. Dr.
Logsdon paid a very great price, losing fame, position, respect, and worldly possessions
to tell this Truth. The following is the confession of Dr. Frank Logsdon Co-founder
of the NASV, which is one of the better of the modern version perversions.
Dr. Logsden says - "I must under God renounce every attachment to the New American
Standard Version. I'm afraid I'm in trouble with the Lord. We laid the groundwork;
I wrote the format; I helped interview some of the translators; I
sat with the translator; I wrote the preface, I'm in trouble; I can't refute
these arguments; its wrong, terribly
wrong; and what am I going to do about it.
When questions began to reach me at first I was quite offended. I used to laugh with
others. However, in attempting to answer, I began to sense that something was
not right about the New American Standard Version. I can no longer ignore these
criticisms I am hearing and I can't refute them. The deletions are absolutely frightening
there are so many. Are we so naive that we do not suspect Satanic deception
in all of this?
Upon investigation, I wrote my very dear friend, Mr. Lockman, explaining that I
was forced to renounce all attachment
to the NASV. The product is grievous to my heart and
helps to complicate matters in these already troublous times. I don't want
anything to do with it.
The finest leaders that we have today haven't gone into it (the new version's
use of a corrupted Greek text), just
as I hadn't gone into it, that's how easily one can be deceived.
I'm going to talk to him Dr. George Sweeting, president of Moody Bible Institute)
about these things.
You can say the Authorized Version KJV is absolutely correct. How correct? 100%correct!.
I believe the Spirit of God led the translators of the Authorized Version.
If you must stand against everyone else, stand."
Dr. Frank Logsdon,
Co-founder & Chief Editor NASB
Underlying the BS gospel is a totally wrong view of what Christ did for us on
the cross and how we appropriate it.
The atonement is how we are reconciled to God. To correct
the key error of the BS gospel atonement, we have to go way back in history to
the tenth and eleventh century. There is where we see the clear reason for the Eastern
and Western Church split. For a while, the so-called Orthodox Church did stay
Orthodox. Rome's great idea of the requirement of penance being required for atonement
was the basis of the original split. The Eastern Orthodox openly, and often
violently split, and resisted the Roman Catholic church's apostasy. Up until that
time, all Christians believed that the physical death of Christ as our
sacrifice, resulted in forgiveness of
sins, based on our identification in Christ's death.
The problem with this is that most people do not want to enter by that narrow
gate of total commitment. You will
not have a Best Selling gospel that way. In order to have
a Best Selling gospel you have to find another easier way. A Best Selling gospel will
deliver from the penalty of sin without requiring one to repent and turn from
one's sins that one might do the will
of God. The theologians and any honest man in the church
business know this. The Biblical or True Gospel is NOT good news to the masses.
The Best Selling gospel appeals to the masses because FEW, very few, will
put off their old man who is a slave to sin, the flesh, and the world, and put
on the New Man in Christ through
obedience. There are problems with the Best Selling gospel,
because Jesus said you MUST be born again. The true gospel says that you must
die to self. Can anyone REALLY be "born again" and be made a new creature in
Christ, by receiving the Best Selling gospel?
Brethren - "only believe" is a healing verse, NOT a salvation verse.
Mark 5:36 As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler
of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
Whenever the Scriptures speak of salvation, it is always "repent and believe."
The first word Jesus preached was no
different than John Baptist. Mat 3:1-2 In those days
came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent
ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began
to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Mat 4:17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the
kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Acts 20:21 Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance
toward God, and faith toward our Lord
Jesus Christ.
Heb 6:1 Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on
unto perfection; not laying again the
foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith
toward God,
Repentance is always the foundation of the Gospel of the Kingdom of the Lord
Jesus Christ. If repentance is not
overtly stated, it is in the context. In addition, the BS gospel uses
the meaning of the word, "believe," as head knowledge of the facts. If you will check
in Strong’s for that word "believe" it is from "pisteuo" which means trusting,
or putting confidence in Christ,
instead of yourself.
Acts 10:22 And they said, Cornelius the centurion, a just man, and one that
feareth God, and of good report among
all the nation of the Jews, was warned from God by an
holy angel to send for thee into his house, and to hear words of thee.
Acts 10:34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, Of a truth I perceive that God
is no respecter of persons:
Acts 10:35 But in every nation he that feareth him, and worketh righteousness,
is accepted with him.
Acts 13:46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the
word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and
judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
There is a tremendous problem in relegating everything before Cornelius as a dispensation
of law and works and after that a new dispensation of grace. The Scriptures
clearly teach that "By the works of the law, no flesh shall be justified before
God."
Rom 3:20 Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his
sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.
Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith
of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified
by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of
the law shall no flesh be justified. But what sort of faith is it that despises
the Royal Law of God???
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish
the law.
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected
knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing
thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Mal 4:4 Remember ye the law of Moses my servant, which I commanded unto him
in Horeb for all Israel, with the statutes and judgments.
Mal 4:5 Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the
great and dreadful day of the LORD:
Mal 4:6 And he shall turn the heart of the fathers to the children, and the
heart of the children to their
fathers, lest I come and smite the earth with a curse.
Rom 3:31 Do we then make void the law through faith? God forbid: yea, we establish
the law.
So we can plainly see that God's message of Salvation has always been by
grace whether in the Old Testament or in the New Testament. This is why the
sacrifice system was set up. By the
Sacrifice System God could show mercy to REPENTANT people.
The difference between the two systems is that now through identification in
Christ's resurrection, we receive power from
the Holy Spirit, to overcome the sins that
we repented of previously, but the first step of identification in the death of
the Sacrificial Lamb for the
forgiveness remains the SAME. God can NOT Lie. God does
NOT Change. IMMUTABLE means does NOT change. Heb 6:18 That by two immutable
things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation,
who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the
time of the end: many shall run to
and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
We are about the Kings business. This is our duty. After we REMEMBER our First Love
- the Lord Jesus Christ, we then look to that duty to our brethren. The Kings business
is the Gospel of His Kingdom. We do not pay the preacher to do that job for
us, and absolve us from the duty of doing the King's business, so we are free to do
our own business. We must remember our First Love and apply the Gospel EVERY
DAY to Me First. Then we reach out to this world on a collision course with
judgment, with our Gospel life example.
We continue about the King's business of Conforming OURSELVES to His image. As preachers,
or truck drivers, or salesmen, or secretaries, or students, that Kingdom business
of conforming to His image comes FIRST. THEN we do what the King leads, to
CONFIRM the souls of the disciples, and exhort them to continue in The Faith,
and that we must through much
Tribulation enter into the Kingdom of God. The tribulation comes
to us most often in the form of offenses. You do not find those who have died to
self TAKING offense. Meek people do not retaliate when insulted. You can not
hurt a dead man. You can NOT make any
charge of any crime stick, and bring the dead man
to trial, or even take him to task. If he is a dead man you can take all of his
stuff, job, house, cars, even
friends, and family, and he does not even seem to care.
The age of instant gratification has an instant and finished Best Selling
gospel. We live in an age of
microwave meals, electronic mail sent around the world in seconds, and
every conceivable form of instant gratification. Speed has become one of the top 3
conditions by which we judge services, results, and our equipment and
appliances. Computers have been
improved from moving at the speed of a snail, to that of a laser beam,
in just 20 years. It must be fast or we're not interested. We have fast answers, fast
food, fast automobiles, fast Internet connections, fast shipping by FedEx or
UPS.
Christians can get into serious trouble, having such an attitude that "IF, I
can't have it now, or if it's not
instant, then I'll do without it, or it's not that important, or I don't have
time to wait for it." We are a society that is no longer interested in anything that
takes time. We want fast express delivery, quick return investments, instant relationships,
and instant personal growth. We have lost touch with the virtue of patience,
and that will be eternally costly to this last generation of Christians.
There are only about 2 things that God does in an instant:
1 - He forgives the repentant sinner and
2 - He changes such a one's destiny from an eternity in fire, to one in God's presence.
On all other things, God will not be rushed! God IS God. He can do things faster
than anyone; but, God IS God. Because
of that FACT, God will do what God will do, when God
will do it. Have any of us said, "I will do what I want to do, when I want to do
it?" HAVE ANY OF US SAID THAT SINCE
WE HAVE BEEN BAPTIZED??? God can say that.
People who think they are god say that. Those who have truly died to SELF do not
have that attitude.
Some may say, "Well, by believing the Gospel message I received all that I
needed from God when He forgave me
and came to live in my heart." To those I would ask some
questions:
Since that day, have you ever even once had an unclean or cruel thought, lost
your temper, or been selfishly or
uncontrollably angry just once? --If you have, YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
Are you at perfect peace 24 hours every single day? --If you are not, YOU NEED THE
GOSPEL!
Do you love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength and walk in an
uninterrupted flow of God's peace, joy and love? --If you do not, YOU NEED THE
GOSPEL!
Since that day have you ever been in need of a touch from the Lord or a miracle?
-- If you have, YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
Do you have even one destructive physical addiction or emotional hang-up? --If
you have, YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
Is the fruit of the Spirit thriving in your life toward others? --If it is not,
YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
Do you have a disciplined life that includes daily prayer, study, worship, and
witness?
--If you do not have, YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
Are you actively serving God in the building of the Body of Christ as well as
His Kingdom through unshakable
faithfulness, generous giving, and specific spiritual gifts?
--If you are not, YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
Can you accurately discern, and do you from the heart, obey the voice of God when
He speaks to you about your life? --If not, YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
Are you the same person alone, or at home, that you are in church? --If you are not,
YOU NEED THE GOSPEL!
1 Cor 1:18 For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;
but unto us which are saved it is the power of
God. The Gospel message is for the unbeliever to
be sure. However, the Gospel is merely the gateway through which we step into a way
of new life. The Gospel is a continuous message from Heaven to the Redeemed communicating
a thousand-thousand different corrections, exhortations, rebukes, and encouragements
in the ways of God. It is our continual instruction on how and where we
have yet fallen short of His Glory and what to do about it, IF we will pay
attention. To day, after so long a
time; as it is said, To day if ye will hear his voice, harden not your
hearts. Hear the Gospel message through the Word and His called and FAITHFUL
ministers!
The true gospel is good news. We MUST consider the true Gospel every day. If we will
think about the true Gospel, and speak of the true Gospel, and most importantly, we
then understand why the preaching of the cross is to them that perish
foolishness; but unto us which are saved
it is the power of
God. LIVE the True Gospel. Pray that we not be overtaken in
the Best Selling gospel. Pray that if we have or do get overtaken that we may
come to realize it. We need to study the Gospel.
Earlier this week, I found myself flat in the flesh, devastated. Here, as I am
seeing more and more of God's
miraculous, exceeding great mighty power being
manifest, I was humbled, embarrassed,
devastated by my sin. Then, I was awakened this morning
with the question, WILL YOU RECEIVE THE MERCY OF GOD? Yes, and this
one thing I will do, forgetting the past, I am going to press toward the mark of the
high calling of God, IN Christ Jesus. Yes the Gospel is so simple and so profound.
You can NOT enter into the Kingdom unless you become as a child. Jesus
Christ died for SINNERS.
The time is fulfilled. God did provide Himself, a Lamb. God says REPENT ye and believe
the Gospel. Yes, I believe the Gospel. I believe the good news. I do receive His
mercy. Now I want to consider Jim dead and Christ alive. Alleluia. I am
REDEEMED. I am REDEEMED by the Blood
of the Lamb. Repent and believe the Gospel. Let the Redeemed
OF THE LORD, say so. I do NOT have a license to sin. I have got the best
reason there ever could be, NOT to sin. Keeping His Commandments is something
that I want to do. I have got the best reason there ever could be to WANT to
KEEP His Commandments. Alleluia. Alleluia Yeshua. What a God. What a KING. What
a great Awesome God we serve.

Chapter 12
Brethren, now over 300,000 Christians have been slaughtered just since Hussein The Ineligible One fired up his so-called “Arab Spring” in 2011. Yes, 300,000, since he started his MUSLIM SPRING equipping, funding, and training his Muslim Brotherhood. He is NOT the President. Every document HE has produced to say he is eligible has been PROVEN to be FRAUD, and forgery, The Jihadi-in-Chief says he likes to kill, and he boasts that he is good at it. He should be behind bars. Yet that would mean one of the 435 congressmen, or one of the 100 senators, or one of the 9 Supreme Court Justices, or the Military Joint Chiefs would have to have some courage and have chosen NOT TO COMPROMISE.
Saints need to know, the wonderful things we do NOW KNOW from having received the FULLNESS of the Vision Henry Gruver had been given about the two Black Angels in Rome. NOW we can and should walk in the apostolic anointing that the Lord has available and intends for EVERY BELIEVER. It is the will of God that EVERY BELIEVER have this unction, to walk in His power, for His glory, binding and loosing, remitting and retaining.
Look at the following pure words, the perfect Words of God, purified 7 times by His Holy Spirit, that apply to this antichrist war on the saints: And it was given unto him (antichrist) to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: And they overcame him (antichrist) by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Rev 13:7, Rev 12:11)
We see TWO groups, both groups saints, to be sure. The first group are overcome by the antichrist, die a martyr’s death, quite like the 300,000 of our brethren we have recently witnessed being killed by the Muslim Brotherhood in Syria, Iraq, and other places here in the Middle East. The other group has gone on to perfection. They are walking in the apostolic anointing and unction that God would have EVERY Believer walk, in His power, and for His glory, binding and loosing, remitting and retaining.
The Basics are simple, everyone has probably heard them, but very few have heard with the ears of the faith that Abraham manifested. They are simple as one, two, three:
God IS God.
God can NOT Lie.
God does NOT Change.
Then we submit ourselves to one another in the Fear of God.
We obey those who have the rule over us.
We follow only as long as they follow Messiah.
Remember God can NOT Lie and God does NOT Change. Without those basics it will be hopeless for anyone to think they understand what these last days are all about. And you must get your foundational understandings from that God promised, EVERY WORD PERFECT, and Only Holy Bible, which in English, is the KJV.
I
know the top target of the now nearly 200 English perversion version bibles
is to remove the sound doctrine teaching on Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance.
Just try to find THE TEST of the spirits in any bible other than
the KJV. You can NOT find it. It has been removed from all 200 version perversions.
Yes, I John 4:1-3 may be in the version perversion bibles, but THE
TEST of the spirits is NOT. When you check you will always find they all
change IS COME to HAS COME, or DID COME. So What? THE Test of the
spirits has been removed. He IS the I AM, the eternal one. To say “has” come,
“did” come, or “will” come, lowers Him from His position as the ETERNAL ONE,
the God of Israel, The I AM, to the status of any common ordinary son of man.
It is so subtle most will not even recognize that THE TEST has been
removed.
Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. Those seven words define THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM. They mean that you know that Jesus Christ is God. That you are not so bound with religious spirits, traditions, and false doctrines, that you can not say Jesus Christ, the name by which Yeshua THE Messiah is most widely known in the world, and in all history and literature. Those seven words mean you KNOW that Jesus Christ is The I AM, The Same Eternal One, (echad not yachid), who was born in Bethlehem, whose goings forth have been from of old from EVERLASTING. Yeshua ha Meshiach, the SAME, yesterday, today, and for ever, IS the same I AM who taught Torah to Moses, whose Spirit IS in truly born again believers.
Jesus Christ has come in the flesh may be true, but it is true like Jim HAS come in the flesh to write this, and you HAVE come in the flesh to be reading this now. HAS COME, HAVE COME, DID COME, in I John 4:2-3 eliminates the profession that Jesus IS God the Son, and makes Him the same as any other person, and totally removes the positive statement that He IS God the Creator, as well as the Redeemer. It is so subtle that most can not even see it. But changing that IS come, to has come, or did come, removes the positive statement that He IS God.
Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. The more you use that simple, and only, test of the spirits, the more you will be amazed at how POWERFUL that it is. I have never seen the Satanist or anyone heavily bound by spirits NOT OF God, who could get it RIGHT the FIRST time, when at the prompting of the Holy Spirit, I ask them to let me hear them say - Jesus Christ IS come in the flesh. Listen carefully. Even if they read it from their bible they CAN NOT GET IT RIGHT, they can NOT pass that simple test of the spirits. And that test of the spirits has been removed from all profane bibles, except the one which God promised would be Every Word Perfect. Thank God we have been given to KNOW that we have the Word of God that we have the Word of God.
With the KJV Holy Bible then, one does not have to worry about all the great , and masterful deceptions of the Jesuit goal of subverting the Received Texts. Never forget that Satan is the original bible corrector. Yea, hath God said - DOES NOT BUILD FAITH but destroys it, with doubt and uncertainty. Alternate renderings are NOT the word of God. You can be POSITIVE, with THE (very definite article) HOLY BIBLE, the one that God promised (Ps 12:6-7) every word to be PERFECT, inspired by the Holy Spirit, preserved by the Holy Spirit, and purified seven times by the Holy Spirit. You can KNOW that you have the absolute final authority, when you KNOW that you KNOW that you have the Word of God that you have the Word of God, in the KJV, which I like to call the King Jesus Version HOLY BIBLE.
I have been involved in spiritual warfare and deliverance for many years before the Lord sent us here thirteen years ago. It was necessary that the GJiGT Oil Station work be done here in this place, which the KJV Holy Bible calls Chittim. Lest I forget, let me mention now that there is a new Tract that has proven to be VERY Effective not just on Muslims but on backslidden Christians www.moresureword.com/MuslimTract.htm The Muslim hunting with Jesus is quite exciting to say the least. I believe if more time were spent in teaching missionaries the principles and tactics of spiritual warfare, that the missionaries to the Muslim, Hindu, and even Buddhist countries would be much more effective.
As I think back about many deliverances, which were difficult requiring much prayer and fasting, sweat and tears, a recent understanding of what the strong man is, causes me to believe that many of those difficult deliverances, could have been much less difficult by simply binding the strong man first. At the outset, let me just tell you that in any future deliverance in which I now may participate, that I intend to bind Nephiylim spirits, bind the Kundalini spirit, bind half-breed or cross-breed spirits, first. That is what I intend to do immediately AFTER dealing with nforgiveness, known sin, generational curses, and other known ground. I think FIRST binding the strong man will greatly reduce the time and difficulty in getting the deliverance done. I believe this to be much more specifically what the Lord taught us than what I had known before.
Mat 12:29 Or else how can one enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he first bind the strong man? and then he will spoil his house.
Mark 3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except
he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house.
Hebrews chapter 6 is where Paul gives us the instruction regarding going on to perfection. May I tell you there was not a single believer in the 68AD congregation of the Jerusalem Church that did not know they had an apostolic anointing and unction to spread the Gospel by His power and for His glory, binding and loosing, remitting and retaining. It is the will of God that ALL believers walk in this apostolic calling.
There is the sense that all the Scriptures have a particular significance to us who must endure to the end of this antichrist war on the saints. Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. 1 Cor 10:11 –12. We are to literally live the Revelation as His ambassadors, His witnesses, His reapers in this great last days harvest. However, we as a people group in time have the greatest need for the things in this series and to examine ourselves to see if we be in THE FAITH. We have heard the great lies that keep us away from this apostolic anointing and unction so many times, from so many sources, over the longest period of time.
I want you to just look, and seriously consider, what it says in verses 4-6 of Hebrews 6 - For it is IMPOSSIBLE for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
1 John 4:1 Beloved, believe NOT every spirit, but TRY the spirits whether they are OF God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
What a description of the so-called modern prophetic movement. We should recognize in 1 John 4:1 one of the nearly 800 New Testament COMMANDMENTS of the Lord. We are COMMANDED TO BELIEVE NOT EVERY SPIRIT BUT TO TEST THE SPIRITS.
Testing the spirits is NOT something that we naturally want to do. We all would rather believe that all of OUR spiritual experiences are OF God. The Holy Spirit is NEVER threatened by the test of the spirits. The Holy Spirit COMMANDS that we TEST the spirits.
The vast majority of spiritual experiences are NOT OF GOD. Are Muslim spiritual experiences of God? Are Hindu spiritual experiences of God? Are Buddhist spiritual experiences of God? Are Occult spiritual experiences of God? Are New Age spiritual experiences of God? Are Ophra Winfrey’s spiritual experiences of God? Are Freemason spiritual experiences of God? Are Antichrist spiritual experiences of God? Are Satanic spiritual experiences of God? NO. THEY ARE NOT OF GOD.
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. The Mystical model of Christianity in these last days of strong delusion and great apostasy has replaced the Biblical model. So-called ministers are idolized and even worshipped because they give spiritual experiences that are NOT OF GOD. Many who would claim to be Christians are NOT. Many so-called Christian ministers promote a mystical model of Christianity that is NOT OF GOD. The mystical model is based only upon two things, rather than the three things in historic Christianity. The mystical model has only the spirit and one's human spirit. Few today realize that the spirit transmitted is called the holy spirit by the Hindu and Buddhist as well as the Christian. The spirit in the mystical model of Christianity is NOT OF GOD.
The Biblical model of Christianity is based upon the Word of God, the Spirit of God, and the renewed regenerated mind of man. True faith says that I only accept and believe what is based upon God's written Word. The only Faith that is OF God is measured by its determination to DO what God said, just because God said so. There is really NO place for the Word of God in the Mystical Model of Christianity. IT IS NOT CHRISTIANITY, but rather the mystical model is Christian OCCULTISM.
Only Believers who know they have this apostolic anointing and unction from the Lord
will Biblically go on to Perfection. These saints represent a real threat to the devils.
And the POWER and
AUTHORITY which the Lord Jesus Christ gives to every
believer is DENIED when people receive certain lies that are generally accepted
as being true. That leaves a form of godliness, which DENIES the POWER thereof.
2 Tim 3:5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.
But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things.
I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 1 John 2:20-21
Brethren, it is time we realize that there are only two kinds of people in the
world, Believers and Unbelievers.
Believers cast out devils, and are constantly on guard to
get them cast out of themselves and others, and keep them out. Unbelievers
DO NOT.
And
in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition,
but to you of salvation, and that of God. But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a thief. Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. For the
great day of his wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?
Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem. Pray Psalm 83 every day. Only be very strong and of good courage. Stay IN the Word.

Pages 47-66
Henry writes:
After His resurrection, Jesus told His disciples, “Whose soever
sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever
sins ye retain, they are retained.” (John 20:23) What does it
mean to remit sins? What’s the purpose of it? Also, I want to
look at a closely related issue: What does it mean “to redeem
the land”—to claim the land back for the Lord and bring it back
to Him? By that I mean to be really possessing the land, not just
co-existing in it with the forces of evil.
King Saul didn’t redeem the land. He fought against his
enemies, and I Samuel 14:47 tells us he “vexed” them, but he
never overcame his enemies. He made those who survived into
his servants. He made “hewer of wood” and “drawer of water”.
That is not ruling over your enemies, is it?
Let’s go into this study with a definition of the word “remit”. Then
we’ll go into the Bible and look at some verses and passages
that give us the scriptural basis for remitting sins. One method
of defining a word is to give you its synonyms. When you
remit,
you: relax, absolve, release, pardon, discontinue,
acquit, surrender, leave off, moderate, mitigate, alleviate,
desist,--as in “cease and desist.” That should give you an
inkling of the kind of power there is in remitting someone’s sins.
Here is another synonym that is really powerful: soften. Have
you ever met a hard callused person? You can begin to soften
those calluses by remitting that one’s sins. Here are some more
synonyms: relent, excuse, overlook, exempt, forward, dispatch,
transmit, convey, transfer, consign, and deliver. Think about
those words in relation to sin. Clearly, there is power there!
On the other hand, if you don’t remit someone’s sins, what are
you doing? Consider these antonyms for the word remit: hold,
withhold, keep, retain, reserve, tie up, persist, continue, exact,
control, command, sway, dominate, avenge, take revenge, get
the upper hand, impose a duty on, bind, enjoin, render
obligatory, make responsible, repress, suppress, restrain,
restrict, prohibit. Antonyms and synonyms will help you to
understand whether or not you are choosing the right mountain.
Are you getting the picture of those two mountains in front of
you—the Synonym Mountain of Blessing, and the Antonym
Mountain of Cursing.
Which mountain have you been climbing? Which act have you
been performing? Have you been releasing others? Have you
been sending them forward? Have you been dispatching and
transmitting and conveying and transferring and consigning and
delivering them? Then you have been remitting sins! If you have
been making others responsible, placing them under obligation,
repressing, restricting, restraining and prohibiting them, you have
not been remitting their sins. You have been retaining them!
At the risk of repeating myself, I will say it again. You can be
either a blessing or a curse. Choose the blessing and live.
Looking at the Greek Strong’s Dictionary for the word translated
as “remit” in the New Testament, we find that it means “to cry,
or, forgive, to lay aside, or, forsake.” It comes from a root word
meaning “off”—as in, “Get it off from me!” “Shake it loose!”
According to Strong’s Concordance, this root word “usually
denotes separation and departure.
REDEEMING THE LAND
When we speak of redeeming the land, what are we talking
about? We are talking about reclaiming it for God. We know
there is a lot of territory in this world that needs “separation and
departure” from sin and the curse. There are a lot of things that
need to be removed from our land, as well as many iniquitous
yokes from the generations which came before us that need to
be separated out from the land.
Does that sound strange to you? Consider Leviticus 18:25—
“...and the land is defiled. Therefore I do visit the iniquity thereof
upon it, and the land itself vomiteth out her inhabitants.”
I will never forget the look of terror on the face of a 17-year-old
girl that came to a Friday night prayer meeting. The Spirit of the
Lord began to show me her sins. I saw that she was playing the
field with all the boys.
I went over and unobtrusively sat down beside her, and inquired
of the lady who was with her, “Are you her mother? She said
that she was, so I then asked, “Do you mind if I talk to your
daughter for a minute? “Not at all,” she replied.
As I began to relate to the young lady her affairs with young
men, I explained why the Lord had shown them to me. I
conducted the conversation in a whisper so that other people in
the room couldn’t hear what was being said. I continued,
“You were
raised in a Pentecostal church. You know better; but what you don’t
realize, child, is that every time you join your body in a sexual union
with a young man, you are becoming a partaker of all the wickedness
and filth and corruption of every generation in his entire lineage. Now
you wonder why you find yourself thinking about taking your life.”
She began to cry, nodding her head. Then, all of a sudden, she
literally yelled out, “I will never leave Billy! I love
Billy!” I quickly prayed
and asked, “Father, who is Billy? He explained, “He’s a warlock, and
he has her under his spell.” When this young girl cried out, “I will never
leave Billy!” she seemed to stiffen. I pleaded with her, “Please listen,
Billy has you under his control; but he is a warlock. You thought he
was just dabbling in the occult; the truth is that he is into it big time.
He has taken a covenant; and when you join yourself to Billy,
you partake of all the covenants he has made in that black
witchcraft. Is that what you really want out of life?” In
response she
jumped up and declared, “I’ll live my own life. You leave me alone!”
then she walked out. I felt terrible, and thought, “Well, Lord, don’t show
me anyone else’s sins.” I had fully expected her to come right down
front and repent. That is what I thought she would do; but she certainly
did not respond the way I thought she would to the word of the Lord.
After that evening, I observed her for two years. She went
deeper and deeper into sin, and fought with her mother more
and more frequently, until finally she left home to live with Billy
at his house. She wound up actively involved in the occult until
the day came that she found herself in a critical care unit at the
local hospital after a near fatal accident.
You might say she was on her deathbed, but it was the day that
young woman came back to the Lord. He was merciful, and she
was able to come off that bed and leave the hospital. As she
gave her testimony, she explained that when she had begun
living that kind of life, everybody liked her. She became popular
in school, where before nobody liked her because she was a
Christian. Yes, she became popular; but she didn’t realize that
she was marching to the beat of the wrong drummer. The
enemy got a strong hold on her, and she found out he was
playing for keeps. She became bound.
I don’t relate these things to cause anyone to fear. I had a
burden for that girl that I don’t think I would have had if I hadn’t
gone over and talked with her that evening. The mother was a
Christian; the father wasn’t. I also understood the cries and
intercession of that mother for her daughter, and had joined in
agreement with her.
When you are interceding in a situation like that, and you
wonder what you can do; continue to remit the person’s sins.
Even if it seems hopeless, remit, remit, remit—never despair of
remitting. Paul expresses this kind of intercession perfectly in
II Corinthians 2:10-11. He is talking to the Corinthian church
and expounding on the need for agreement in intercession and
forgiveness. He said, “To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive
also. For if I forgave any thing—to whom I forgave it—for your
sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; lest Satan should get
an advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices.”
WALKING AND REMITTING—
AMBASSADORS FOR CHRIST
Why remit a person’s sins? Matthew 26:28—“for this is My
blood of the New Testament, which is shed for many for the
remission of sins.” This teaching grew out of a cry of my
heart,
“Oh, God, Your Word says to love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, and do good to them that despitefully use you.
But, Lord, I don’t know how. I have told them, ‘I love you.’ I
have said, ‘I forgive you, however, Lord, I still didn’t like them.
It didn’t release me. It didn’t set me free. I can’t really live it,
from my heart.
Something is wrong, Lord. I’m not reaching these people. They
just laugh at me, or spit in my face, or stomp on my feet, push
me back, and say, ‘Get out of my face, you religious freak!’
“Lord, I’m not reaching them. Their hearts are not being pricked.
I’m not getting right down to where they live. They are not
feeling my sincerity. Something has to penetrate the hard shell
of these individuals, or it is useless for me to be out here, trying
to be a witness. I want to see results!’
“Lord, I can take my saw, my hammer, my drill, my measuring
tape and my square, and make a piece of furniture. I can take
my paintbrush and some varnish, and put a nice finish on it. I
can make it shine. Lord, that’s something You gave me the
ability to do; but I’m not getting anywhere with mankind. I’m not
getting results.’
“I don’t know when I’m cutting. I don’t know when I’m joining. I
don’t know when I’m sanding. I don’t know when I’m planning. I
don’t know when I’m routing or painting or varnishing. I want to
see fruit from my labors. I read in Your Word that even King
Agrippa said to Paul, ‘Almost thou persuadest me to be a
Christian.’ Paul got results. The disciples got results. Philip was
even translated! He won a nation’s treasurer to You. I want to
see those kinds of results! I’m not content with my religion. It’s
not doing the job.”
This was the essence of my cry after I had made my vow to
walk the streets of Skid Row in 1961, and it seemed I was not
making any headway. His answer was to not stop walking. His
answer was to incorporate walking in His peace and His song.
You’ve read the previous testimonies and know that it works;
but, you still might ask, “Where is that in the Bible?
James 3:12-18 is the key. It speaks of the wisdom that comes
from above. Specifically, it’s the second attribute of that
wisdom—it is peaceable. Its first attribute, James tells us, is
purity. Keep your heart pure, because Jesus said, “Blessed are
the pure in heart, for they shall see God” (Matthew 5:8). Do you
want to see God in your circumstances? Do you want to see
Him in your witnessing? Then start by being pure in heart. Don’t
let sin stick around in your mortal body. I don’t go out walking
and praying with unconfessed sin in my life. I’m afraid to,
because I never know where my steps are going to take me.
The Devil’s Pulpit was one of those areas that caught me
completely unawares. When I started the task, I had no idea of
the wickedness and evil that was to be found on that mountain.
I had no preconceived ideas of what the Lord wanted me to
address in the Spirit concerning that mountain. However, there I
was, on what seemed at first appearances to be a heavenly
mountain. I had come to the massive rock about 10 feet square
and perhaps twenty feet high, jutting out of the mountain’s side.
It looked like a giant pulpit. Nearby, there was actually a little
one-by-four board with an arrow on it, pointing to that stone
outcropping, with the words, “The Devil’s Pulpit” carved on it.
On down the mountain was another spot called, “The End of the
World”. Both places are literally named on the topographical
maps of the area.
When I first came to that place known as the Devil’s Pulpit, I
stood in that naturally carved stone over looking the valley and
town below, and started reading the Word of God aloud over it. I
read about the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ, and then I
began praising God and rejoicing. I took dominion over the devil
there, with the intention of taking back that area. I didn’t like the
idea of any place being called the Devil’s Pulpit. The devil
shouldn’t have a public place from which to preach.
I thought that took care of what needed to be done in that area,
and proceeded on down the trail. As I made my way down the
mountain, the Holy Spirit said to me, “Go back up the
mountain.” As I obeyed and turned back, that peace described
in James, Chapter Three, settled over me. I was climbing up a
little bit of a hill that was about 50 feet high, when I suddenly
found myself looking down into a large concave area—large
enough to hold a good-sized meeting. It was like a natural bowl,
or amphitheater, near the top of that mountain, with giant beech
trees growing all around it, soaring 150 to 200 feet in the air. As
I continued investigating the area, I began to see and
experience why the Lord told me to go back where I had been.
Then the winds began to whip up around and about me, and as
I watched, what had been a beautiful, calm, peaceful May
morning, was now being overtaken by a great storm and
howling winds. I am not making this up; it was not a figment of
my imagination; it actually happened. Before I realized what
was going on, the wind was howling, and the branches of those
huge trees were bending violently. I had an eerie feeling. Where
had all that wind come from? As I proceeded down into that
natural amphitheater I came upon a real stone altar, right in the
middle of a circle of blackened earth. There was charcoal all
around with large pieces of slate placed atop the charcoal.
Now remember, people in the occult like to walk over hot coals.
They walk through the fire because it gives them the faith, they
say, to have a stronger belief in their god. That is a Satanic
counterfeit of God’s Word, which says we can walk through the
fire and not be burned (Isaiah 43:2). It really fascinates people
to think that someone can walk on hot coals without getting
burned. If you look up the origin of the word, “fascinate”, you will
find that it means, “to bewitch”. Many people are drawn into the
occult by fascination, and then they become bewitched without
realizing it. Yet, to them it is just something strange and exotic.
At any rate, as I began to walk on those slate stones, my feet
actually became as hot as fire. I reached down and held my
hand just above the slate, and didn’t feel any heat at all. I put
my hand right on it, and found it was, as the saying goes, “stone
cold”, and the eerie feeling about the place intensified. My feet
were burning as I was walking on those pieces of slate, which
were sitting on top of charred wood.
I thought, “Lord, what do you want me to do here?” I began to
walk around, praying in the Spirit, and my feet still felt like they
were on fire. The Lord told me to stand on the altar. He said He
had some words that He wanted me to declare.
Remember, one of the synonyms for the word remit, is “to cry,
as in, to declare, or to make a declaration. When we are
remitting sins and claiming back the land, God wants His Word
spoken over that land. After all, when the earth was without
form and void, His Word, spoken over the face of the deep,
brought the world into existence. Then, He spoke every living
thing into existence as well, except for man. He formed man
from the dust of the earth with His hands, but He spoke
everything else into being, didn’t He? He said, “Let there
be…Let there be…Let there be”, and it was. However, He took
you and me from the earth. Our flesh doesn’t like to be
reminded that it is made of dirt, but that is how He formed us;
and then He breathed into our nostrils the breath of life.
As I walked back and forth in that big concave area I began
remitting the sins of those who had committed lewd, filthy, vile,
and wicked acts there. Walking up to the farthest edge of the
bowl, I came upon areas where there were big piles of wood. I
could see how they had gone up and girded the trees—they
had cut circles through the bark all the way around so the trees
would die. That gave them a supply of firewood. All those big
piles of wood were ready to be used for their sacrifices. And
even if their bonfire blazed up to the heavens, they
couldn’t be
seen from the outside because of the giant trees surrounding
the natural bowl. The only way a fire could be seen would be
from an airplane or a helicopter. The trees were such that they
provided year-round cover.
As I mentioned, the Lord then said, “I want you to get up on that
altar, and I want you to say a few words for Me. “I’m always
ready to do that, because I am an ambassador for Christ. Isn’t
that what the scriptures say? “Now then we are ambassadors
for Christ…” (II Corinthians 5:20). That means we are His
representatives, His mouthpieces, and we are to deliver the
message exactly as our Commander-in-chief gives it to us. We
represent Him, and we speak by His authority.
As the wind was howling through the trees, I stood on that big
stone altar and cried out, turning and facing the north, the
south, the east, and the west. The declaration took form as I
opened my mouth, and let it be known that from this time forth
things would be different. Anyone entering this area intending to
commit any act, deed or gesture to Lucifer—the god of this
world—would come fact to face with the power of the shed
blood of Jesus Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit. Their
choices would be to either fall on their faces and repent for their
hearts of wickedness, or, flee from this place.
It works! When He speaks it, it really works! Confirmation of
what took place around that altar came several years later when
I was staying with a medical doctor and his family in South
Wales. The doctor asked me if I would mind meeting with a
certain husband and wife after church on a Sunday afternoon.
He warned me that this couple was “unusual” and explained
that I didn’t have to meet with them if I didn’t want to. He had
been talking to them about me and my times of walking and
praying all over Wales, and they had expressed a desire for a
meeting.
Sunday afternoon came and with it the confirmation I had been
hoping to hear. It turned out that the man was a Satanist high
priest. His first words to me were delivered proudly and
sarcastically, “So, (pause) you walk cities and pray over them,
do you?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Big deal!” he snorted. “What do you accomplish by walking
cities and praying?”
Well, he didn’t know it; but I “had his number”. He hadn’t been
introduced to me as a Satanist high priest, but I knew the spirit
in him, having wrestled with it on many of the mountains in that
country. I figured that I might as well redeem the time and get
right down to the nitty-gritty with this man, and tell him about the
first high place in Wales that the Lord sovereignly led me to find.
As I casually shared that experience his countenance changed
from proud and haughty to slightly chastened. However, he
wasn’t chastened enough to give up yet, so he scoffingly and
confidently said, “You didn’t go in there. They wouldn’t let you
in.”
“I didn’t, huh? Let me tell you exactly where it is, and exactly
what it looks like. I will tell you the color of the paint of the
symbols on the stones that are placed around it. I’ll tell you the
size of the altar. I could take you right to it, right now.”
I then began to tell him exactly where it was, and exactly what it
looked like, and the color of the paint. He became agitated and
interrupted me, saying, “So, you’re the one! You’re the one!
You’re dangerous!”
It was my turn to interrupt him, “No, Stop right there. I’m not the
one; and I’m not dangerous. I stay under the covering of the
blood of the Lord Jesus Christ. He’s the One Who is dangerous
to you. Henry Gruver is dead, and don’t you ever forget it. You
can’t do anything to Henry Gruver, because Henry Gruver is
dead. Jesus is the One Who did it—not Henry Gruver.”
It is important to always keep that straight when you are dealing
with demonic powers, because when you get to thinking you are
something, they will plow into you full tilt, and you are in trouble.
The high priest changed his tune and asked the doctor, “Have
you a topographical map? Something that shows the elevations
of the land—the hilltops and the valleys?”
“Yes, I do surgeries all over this country and I have to know
every road and every hill. I get called out to hospitals all over
Wales; so I have to know my way around. I’ll get one for you.”
When the doctor returned with a map in hand, he gave it to the
man, who then spread it out and said to me, “Now, you show
me which mountains you have been on. “Surely, I can call this
man’s bluff,” he thought. As I pointed out each one, he began
to tremble and shake so badly that he could hardly stand on his
feet. “You’re dangerous!”
“I’m not dangerous.”
“All right, all right,” he said, “You’re not dangerous; but you
caused us a lot of trouble.”
“No, I didn’t. Jesus did.”
“Oh, get off that! You know what I’m talking about. You know
what you did. You took out all our high places, all over this
country. Every year we were losing high places and we didn’t
know who was doing it.”
For many years I had to walk alone, not understanding why.
Various ministers and teachers had volunteered to go with me,
and they had been excited about going. But when the actual
time came, they never showed up. You see, alone, I could slip
in and out of places like that. If I had taken a group with me—
even two or three—we would have been too conspicuous.
Somehow the Lord enabled me to disappear. Without even
realizing it, I would slip right past their guards and sentries into
those high places.
Revelation 3:7 tells us that Jesus is the One Who opens and no
man shuts; and shuts and no man opens. I can testify that the
Lord has done that for me many times, as I have walked and
prayed all over this world.
WHERE IS THE WORD, “REMITTING” IN THE WORD?
Let’s look at some more scripture. Mark 1:4—“John [the Baptist]
did baptize in the wilderness, and preach the baptism of
repentance for the REMISSION OF SINS.” The life and ministry
of John the Baptist shows us clearly that repentance and
remission of sins are closely linked. That’s very important. Paul
said it is by “the foolishness of preaching” that men are saved.
That doesn’t mean we preach foolishness, but it means that
men get saved through the preaching of something that seems
foolish—repentance for the remission of sins.
Now, let us look at the first chapter of Luke, as we lay a little
more of the foundation. To me, this is the most awesome
scripture of all dealing with the remission of sins. It begins with
verse 73—“The oath which He swore to our father Abraham.”
Are you Abraham’s seed? If you have been born of the Spirit
and are a child of faith, you are of Abraham’s seed, and the rest
of this promise is for you. Verses 74-79—“That He would grant
unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies,
might serve Him without fear, in holiness and righteousness
before Him, all the days of our life. And Thou, Child, shalt be
called the Prophet of the Highest, for Thou shalt go before the
face of the Lord to prepare His ways; to give knowledge of
salvation unto His people BY THE REMISSION OF THEIR
SINS, through the tender mercy of our God. Whereby the
Dayspring from on high hath visited us, to give light to them that
sit in darkness and in the shadow of death—to guide our feet
into the way of peace.”
How much clearer can He make it? Who is our peace? Jesus
Christ is our peace. If we walk in His steps, He gives us light,
and then we are able to impart that light to those who sit in
darkness.
Now, I know that passage is talking about Jesus remitting our
sins. But Jesus said, “…he that believeth on Me, the works that
I do shall he do also…” (John 14:12). To refuse to acknowledge
that this promise is to you and me, is to stop short of the whole
counsel of the Word of God. Was that not the main purpose of
Jesus’ life and death—to redeem the lost? He said, “…They
that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are
sick. I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance”
(Mark 2:17).
When Jesus was told that His mother and His brother wanted to
see Him, He told them, “…Who is My mother? And who are My
brethren?...For whosoever shall do the will of My Father which
is in heaven, the same is My brother, and sister and mother”
(Matthew 12:48,50). Isn’t that precious?
That is what Jesus said, and that is what Jesus lived. I have to
believe what He said—that I must also be willing to leave
house, and brethren, and sisters, and father, and mother, and
wife, and children and lands to go out and fulfill the Great
Commission. After all, He Himself left something far more
glorious—the splendors of heaven—to come to earth and die
for me. The question is not whether he loved Mary and His
brothers or not. And it isn’t that I do not love my wife and
children, and my brothers and sister after the flesh. I do love
them. But all those who need Him are also my mother or my
brother or my sister or my son or daughter.
Yes, it is a sacrifice for me to leave my home and family. But if I
am dead, and my life is hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3),
then I really left them way back when I gave my life to Him. I
just get to enjoy their fellowship when the Lord sends me back
home.
In the Third Chapter of Romans is another passage that will
help you to understand the declaring, or crying out, which we
talked about earlier, in connection with the remitting of sin and
redemption of the land. Verses 23-25; & 4:1-8—“For all have
sinned, and come short of the glory of God; being justified freely
by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus,
Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in His
blood, to DECLARE His righteousness for”—what?—“the
REMISSION of sins that are PAST, through the forbearance of
God. To declare, I say, at this time His righteousness, that He
might be just, and the Justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.”
“And what shall we say then that Abraham our father, as
pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were
justified by works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before God.
For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was
counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is
the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that
worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his
faith is counted for righteousness. Even as David also
describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God
imputeth righteousness without work, saying, ‘Blessed are they
whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.’”
We have the power to declare the remission of sins, through His
righteousness. What sins? The sins that are past. It does not
say, “the recent past”, or, “last week”, or even, “all the sins one
person committed in the past”. It says, “sins that are past”—that
includes all the past sins in an individual’s life, in his father’s or
his mother’s life, in his grandfather’s or grandmother’s life, and
in the life of any of his ancestors.
I can almost hear some of you who are reading this, saying,
“Now wait a minute, Henry. Are you getting into some kind of
new doctrine here? Do you mean to tell me that we have the
power to declare remittance for the sins that are past—even
those committed in the generations that came before us?”
That is exactly what I am saying. What else could this scripture
mean? How far back is “the past”? However, I am not making
up a new doctrine. This is simply what the Bible says
concerning the remitting of sins.
THE CRIES OF INNOCENT BLOOD
AND THE SINS OF THE PAST
This is one of the most vital truths of all when it comes to
redeeming the land. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I
have entered into an area, begun to walk it, and heard the cries
of innocent blood coming from that land. Countless times I have
seen visions of the abominable acts that were committed
there—acts which defiled that land.
I have been sharing about England and Wales, so let me give
you an example from that part of the world, to show you how He
taught me about this. I was walking along the Wye River in
Great Britain. As I came near the base of a cliff, I heard the
cries of young teenage girls. Even today, I could take you right
to the place. I have six girls of my own. I know what 13 and 14-
year-old girls sound like, and the cries I heard told me that they
were about that age.
I began making my way through the dense undergrowth,
praying in the Spirit, when a righteous indignation rose up in
me. “Whoever is hurting those girls are going to have to deal
with me,” I thought. My ears were hearing cries of desperation,
the cries of young girls who were being brutally molested and
violated. “Lord, give me the strength to knock heads. I don’t
care if there are thirty of them, or a hundred,” I prayed. “No one
has the right to treat children like that!”
As I continued making my way through the brush, the Holy
Spirit began to speak to me. He said, “Don’t take this
personally.”
“Lord,” I asked? “What are you talking about? Nobody has the
right to do such a thing! I couldn’t see what was at the base of
the cliff. When I heard the cries, I honestly thought several girls
were being molested right there, at that very moment.
Breaking into a clearing at the base of the cliff, I found that the
ground was packed solid, like the ground I had seen in the
concave area above the Devil’s Pulpit. Nothing was growing
there. There was another big circle of stones, too, and charcoal
from many fires.
It was all I could do not to fall on my hands and knees and
begin clawing at the ground with my bare hands, trying to dig
down to find those screaming girls. I thought they were under a
thin layer of earth or something, and I was hearing their cries
coming up through it. At that point a vision from the Lord came
before my eyes. I saw Roman legions encamped in the area
and soldiers going through the villages grabbing young girls,
killing some and taking other captive. They brought them to the
very spot where I stood, and they abused them. Then they
murdered them and threw their bodies into the river. I saw
lifeless bodies floating down the river.
The Lord said, “This happened back in the third century, and
their innocent blood is still crying from the ground.”
“Lord,” I countered, “I don’t understand. What am I to do? What
is my responsibility concerning this? Why would You show me
such a thing if there is nothing I can do about it?”
His reply was simple and to the point, “You remit those sins.”
My thoughts were the same as some of yours when you first
heard this teaching, and I voiced them to the Lord. “I don’t have
the power to remit sins that happened way back in the third
century!”
Isn’t it wonderful that when James first penned the description
of the Lord’s wisdom, one of the attributes he noted was that it
is “easy to be entreated” (James 3:17). That Wisdom is still
easily entreated. He won’t get upset if we question what He
says. He won’t turn us away or humiliate us for asking Him what
He means when He speaks to us or teaches us.
His reply to me was, again, simple and to the point, “Open my
Word,” I did just that; and my Bible opened up right to this
passage in Romans 3:24-26. I looked down with my eyes, and
there it was. “to declare His righteousness for the remission of
sins that are past.” That was good enough for me. I was
excited, “I’ll take it, Lord, I’ll take it!”
He then further explained to me that, “You will not redeem this
land back unless you take this stronghold, because to this very
day, molestations and seductions and orgies are taking place
around these fires. And the reason it is allowed to happen is
because that innocent blood sealed a deed with the god of this
world, giving him the right to take this place as one of his
strongholds. Take it back, and I won’t let such things happen
here anymore. You will free this ground, and not only the
ground, you will free the entire creation around here. This
ground will begin to come forth with life in it. No one will come in
here to commit those kind of acts anymore.
I did just as He commanded. I walked over that ground, praying
and remitting the sins of those Roman soldiers, as well as the
sins of their descendants. I prayed for that generation, and right
on down to those who were alive that very day, who were still
suffering under the grievous yoke that was the result of every
sin and abuse their forefathers had committed on that land.
RELEASING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
What do you do after you have remitted the sins that were
committed in an area? Then it is time to release the goodness
of the Lord over the land, and over those who are currently
living there. “…Despisest thou the riches of His goodness and
forbearance and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness
of God leadeth thee to repentance?” (Romans 2:4)
Next, you ask the Father to restore His creation. Ask Him to
bring back His breath of life and to move His hand over that
desolate area where the ground is hard-packed and nothing is
growing anymore. Ask Him to cleanse that ground and let
flowers and grass and trees begin to come forth and be
nourished. Ask Him to let the squirrels and the rabbits and the
birds come back to that area. In other words, ask Him to let life
come back to the land once more.
This may sound like a new doctrine to you, but I assure you that
it is as old as the New Testament. God has been waiting a long
time for us to begin to take hold of the power of His Word and
reclaim the land that has been defiled by sin.
God’s people will be the determining factor in this matter of
God’s judgments, not the wicked. We are the ones who will
determine whether or not the plagues hit this land. We are the
ones who will determine whether or not famine will come to
America. II Chronicles 7:14—we quote it as commonly as John
3:16—“If My people, which are called by My name”—
Christians—“shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek My
face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land.” We have
to start doing the things that verse admonishes us to do.
Romans 3:26, again—“To declare, I say, at this time…” That is
in the present tense, isn’t it? What are we to declare? “His
righteousness—can you think of any better way to declare His
righteousness than to remit sins? That is really the epitome of
declaring His righteousness. When Jesus cried out, “It is
finished!” The work of redemption was complete. That was
declaring His righteousness. What was it that Stephen declared
before he died? “…Lord, lay not this sin to their charge…” (Acts
7:60). Like Jesus, Who had prayed, “Father, forgive them, for
they know not what they do” (Luke 23:24), Stephen remitted the
sins of those who were taking his life. He was remitting sins
right up until his last breath. As the stones were beating the life
out of Stephen’s body, his eyes were opened to see the
glorified Christ standing at the right hand of the Father; and he
cried out his last words: Lord, lay not this sin to their charge.
Forgive them. They know not what they do. He remitted their
sins.
In the Introduction to this little book I referred to “the
distinguished Bible teacher” who was in a conference with me.
He asked me, “Henry, where did you find that doctrine of
remitting? That is a new doctrine.”
I explained to him, “It isn’t new; it’s all over in the Bible.”
“I know,” he replied, “you have shown us that. Yet, I have not
heard anyone else teaching it. Where did you get this?”
“You know,” I said, “I asked the Lord that question myself.” I told
him the understanding I received was that this doctrine was lost
when Constantine declared Christianity the official state religion
of Rome. Thereafter, men became soft in their Christianity,
joining all the pagan gods to Christ. They took their old pagan
holidays and called them “Saint So-and-So’s Day”. You just
can’t find the purebred attributes of righteousness and purity in
this kind of hybrid Christianity.
Have you been wondering why it is that true Bible Christianity
doesn’t seem to be spreading like it should? Everywhere I go in
the world, I find that Islam is growing ten times faster than
Christianity—in some places, a hundred times faster. Why?
Because we have grafted into our Christianity a hybrid version,
and in each generation we are getting less and less fruit. Our
Gospel is degenerating.
We must separate ourselves. “Wherefore come out from among
them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord…”(II Corinthians 6:17).
Why? It goes back to the principle of remitting—“though your
sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow. Though they
be red like crimson, they shall be as wool” (Isaiah 1:18). That is
remitting! Isaiah understood this great truth.
