WE MUST BECOME THE CHURCH CHRIST BUILT, NOT THE CHURCH WE WANT TO BE

At some point, God is going to get fed up, his judgment will walk into churches across America, turning over the tables and chairs of the corrupt commercialization and exploitation that had infiltrated the Church. He's going to step into the mega and social media pulpits with a winnowing fork in his hand, and he is going to lay the ax at the root of the trees of the ideologies of countryism, colonialism, capitalism, churchism, and celebrityism that are deeply rooted in the soil of Western Christian Nationalism and not Heavenly Nationalism. I utter the words of Paul the Missionary, Apostle, and Servant: "Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." ~John 17:16-26

In these last days, I believe the Spirit of God will begin infiltrating the Christian institution (the Church) and exposing these leaders that has been indoctrinated by, controlled by, and who hold unwavering allegiance to the ideology of countryism, colonialism, capitalism, churchism, and celebrityism, isms that were subliminally and covertly injected, established, and erected into the faith since the 1400s. John the Baptist called such leaders a generation of vipers, meaning they push this generational evil ideology. For this reason, God will begin destroying every sophisticated argument and every exalted and proud thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God, taking every thought and purpose captive to the obedience of Christ. We now stand at this crucial impasse where we must determine what rock we stand on, either we're standing on Plymouth Rock or on the Rock Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God. Paul says we do this by destroying sophisticated arguments, images, and every exalted and proudful thing that sets itself up against the true knowledge of God. The Spirit is ready to enact discipline and judgment from the pews to the pulpit against those who disobey and subvert the teachings of Christ, who are replacing Christ's teachings with the erroneous ideologies of countryism, colonialism, capitalism, churchism, and celebrityism.

Some people have accused me of not knowing what I'm talking about and being judgmental, accusing me of being reckless in my speaking because I've never built a church. I say they're right about one thing, and that is that: I've never built a church; I don't need to build a church because Jesus already built his Church. Some leaders have even accused me of not having or knowing what grace is. To that accusation, I say that grace is being blessed to open your eyes to see another day that God has blessed you with to make right the mess you've made of the house of God. God's grace gives no permission to your greedy acquisitions and to your reckless impropriety. The problem is that for so long the Western Church has been built on the wrong rock; it has been built on Plymouth Rock, on the ideologies of countryism, colonialism, capitalism, churchism, and celebrityism, and not on Christ Jesus the solid Rock. Even the Church's nonprofit status is a ball and chain, a controlling mechanism that binds the Church to a system, rather than to the Holy Spirit; it is an ankle monitoring device placed on the Church to keep it from wandering too far from the world's imperialist influence and residency. Where, at any time, the Church can lose its nonprofit status if it refuses to comply with any left or right-wing demands, agendas, or policies. Yes, in other words, the Church is and has been placed on house arrest.  

The Church in America has been so far removed from and bears no resemblance to the Church described in Acts 2:42-47 and Acts 4:32-37 (Acts chapters 2 & 4). While these mega and social media con artists used their mega and social media pulpits to influence and spellbind believers, they scatter the sheep from the words spoken in Psalm 23. To be spellbound is to be put under witchcraft. O foolish American believers, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth. This woe is not to America, but to the Church in America. In 2 Chronicles 7:14, God is speaking to the congregation; in 2 Chronicles 7:17-22, God is speaking to leadership.

In the end, we must become the Church Christ built, not the Church we want to be, or we will perish in our wants.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.~Matthew 7:19

Be well and stay bless,
