Unveiling The Spirit of Antichrist

If you have been following my recent writings, then you know that I have written much about the spirit of Antichrist. Today, we will take a deep dive into the subject of unveiling the spirit of the Antichrist. We will unveil how the spirit of Antichrist is already capturing the entire world. Although this captivity is not generally recognized by humanity, it is partially recognized by professed Christians. There is a greater awakening, however, among God’s faithful remnant as we fast approach the Last Days, where many are beginning to question what’s being taught in their pulpits of the lukewarm churches. Lukewarm churches have become a seedbed of false doctrines for trusting in the Antichrist system to meet all of their felt needs. Many are shocked at the increase in lawlessness and the grossest of immorality filling our public schools. Instead of detailing every form of lawlessness and perversion as we have done in our previous articles, we will paint with broad strokes to expose how the spirit of Antichrist is leading the entire world to reject God. This is accomplished by teaching the whole world to put their trust in the Antichrist system in preparation for the coming Antichrist.

Step by step when humanity puts their trust in the Antichrist system, then they will no longer trust in their God exclusively. When we stop trusting in God exclusively, then our worship is in vain. The Antichrist system has been established in every nation contrary to their form of government or their accepted beliefs. This system has been set up for many centuries by the spirit of Antichrist convincing humanity in every country that they can no longer trust in God exclusively. Humanity has been given many things to put their trust in that leads them further and further away from trusting in God. Humanity has blindly followed the spirit of Antichrist every time a new thing is introduced to put their trust in, never questioning it, but accepting it as a scientific advancement for the betterment of humanity. Although this has been going on since the first century, it has only recently sped up to the point of shocking the entire world. Advancements to humanity are coming so quickly, it’s hard to assimilate everything from the rise of artificial intelligence to the development of Neuralink, which is leading many to say “future shock” is now being realized amongst us.

Why is trust so important to God? From the very beginning, God taught His children to trust in Him for all of life. All the ancient manuscripts of the Bible, along with all of the ancient writings of our forefathers stressed the importance of trusting in God exclusively. The Bible says, “Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding” (Proverbs 3:5). This verse speaks volumes about the level of trust we should have in God alone, that we should not even trust in our own understanding, let alone putting our trust in something that the spirit of Antichrist has introduced to humanity. From the very beginning self has entered into the throne room of his own heart taking his seat upon the throne, a place designed for the presence of God. Essentially, Satan did the same thing when he rebelled against God. I firmly believe that our faith and trust in God exclusively is our true worship of God. Without trusting in God exclusively, then our worship is truly in vain. And if we don’t worship God, then we are being led by the spirit of Antichrist to worship the Antichrist even before he is fully identified.

Now, let us test the level of our trust in God alone by examining our trust in other things and even the trust that we have in our own understanding. Let us pray that we will be completely honest in assessing the level of trust that we have in anyone or anything other than God alone. We wrote in our last article about trusting in our own logic or understanding to solve problems and make the right decisions. We discussed how important it is to wait upon God in our decision-making seeking His will that’s often beyond logic. God is not limited to time and space but knows the beginning from the end, giving Him a unique perspective on what is best for His creations. Truly God’s ways are much higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8). The faithful remnant who has put their trust in God alone don’t lean on their own understanding but turn immediately to God allowing Him alone to direct them in their decision-making. The faithful remnant have learned well how to hear the still small voice of God through the Holy Spirit as they wait patiently on Him, resisting the urge to rush ahead in their godless searches on the internet or listening to the coming voices of artificial intelligence. As stated in my latest book, “God’s Loving Pursuit,” artificial intelligence could well be the statue erected by the Antichrist government to guarantee our allegiance and worship of the Antichrist.

When God delivered Israel from Egypt, He taught them to trust Him alone for all their provisions. God gave them manna from heaven for food that needed to be collected daily to solidify their trust in God (Exodus 16). As they entered the promised land, God taught them to trust in His protection as He went before them to defeat their enemies (Deuteronomy 31:7-8). In all of life, God taught His children to trust Him alone. God also taught His children to trust Him for forgiveness, which would wash away their sins and renew their relationship with Him both individually and cooperatively. From the first acceptable sacrifice of Able to the final sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, humanity is led to trust God alone to restore our broken relationship with Him (Genesis 4:4; Hebrews 10:1-18).  God has not changed. After all these many thousands of years and the coming of His Son, God still requires that we trust Him alone for all of life from food, clothing, housing, and protection to forgiveness through repentance. Yet, we live in a day where governments, the spirit of Antichrist, teaches humanity to trust in them for assistance in every area of life from daily provisions to protection from enemies foreign and domestic. Humanity is also being taught to trust in the Antichrist system to instruct their children, which is a direct violation of Scripture that teaches us that we should teach our own children in the way that they should go (Proverbs 22:6). Would you knowingly allow the spirit of Antichrist teach your children and grandchildren? The whole world is learning to trust in the spirit of Antichrist at the exclusion of trusting in God alone.

Before we proceed, let us be sure that we don’t just pay God lip service by telling Him that we are trusting in Him alone, but in reality, trusting the spirit of Antichrist and his system that’s directing all the governments in the world. If we can’t trust God in all the areas mentioned above, we will never trust Him for our physical and mental health. This is the last nail in the coffin as the spirit of Antichrist leads the entire world away from trusting and worshiping God alone. Most of humanity no longer cries out to God and waits for His cure but rushes immediately to take their prescription drugs for their mental and physical health. Yet, as a new creation in Christ, we have been given everything we need for life and godliness (II Corinthians 5:17, II Peter 1:3). Furthermore, God has gifted certain individuals in His Church with the gift of healing and others that can give Godly counsel to help His children to overcome their emotional and psychological problems (I Corinthians 12; Romans 15:14, Williams). Sometimes God chooses to intervene directly in the lives of His children and at other times He chooses to intervene through other believers in Christ to bring forth healings and miracles from the hand of God.

At the last trumpet, there will be no excuse for trusting in the spirit of Antichrist and his system. We must come out from among them now, to escape God’s wrath. The Bible says, “And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, ‘Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues” (Revelation 18:4). Dear children, let us trust in God alone and firmly reject the spirit of Antichrist and his godless system. It is time for God’s faithful remnant to come together as one to be the true Church of God. It is time to immerse ourselves in the doctrines of Christ and utilize our Spiritual gifts for the common good of the brotherhood. Dear children, this will never be accomplished on social media, but only in face-to-face relationships that can support one another in Spiritual growth and the raising up of our children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. Finally, just remember that the coming Antichrist will promise to fix the economy and safeguard our borders. He will promise to end the war between Russia and Ukraine. The Antichrist will promise to deliver us from World War III, a Nuclear war, and the coming Apocalypse, which will end the world. The spirit of Antichrist will promise to fix every problem that we can possibly imagine bringing forth a world of peace and prosperity. Believe and trust in his lies at your own peril.

God’s Will is Beyond Logic

Logic has become a popular term in our day that goes by many different names. It has become the culmination of acquired knowledge, wisdom, and the result of many hours of research. It has also been referred to as a sixth sense, the receiving of a gut feeling, or the expression, “it makes sense.” Logic contrary to what we call it allows humanity to make their many choices in life, which is always a gamble that can cause tremendous suffering when wrong choices are made. Although we make hundreds of decisions every day, there are a few that could have profound consequences if the wrong decision is made. Unfortunately, those consequences are not always immediately observable as we see through a glass darkly, limited by time and space (I Corinthians 13:12). Most will do all their homework, run the numbers, and have even done their research, but for fallen humanity, it’s always a gamble. Granted, some of fallen humanity doesn’t even bother doing any kind of research but allows their felt needs to direct their choices in life, even if they know it’s wrong or costly. When humanity removes God from their decision-making or just pays Him lip service, then the consequences can be devastating. So, it’s essential to understand God’s will even if it’s beyond logic.

Unfortunately, we live in a world that has completely removed God from their decision-making by following the spirit of Antichrist. The spirit of Antichrist tells them that they have the power within themselves to make the correct decisions. They are told that all the information is at their fingertips. The spirit of Antichrist says we can have the proper discernment by weighing all the facts. Many of the facts examined are outrageous lies, half-truths, and propaganda or conspiracy theories circulating on the internet. Therefore, discernment becomes a self-imposed logic. This type of thinking has created think tanks of learned men and women that will also examine the history, often changed, the psychological profiles of nations or cultures, and world economics to determine the best course of action for the world to take in its decision-making. Again, God is completely removed from the equation, or He is simply paid lip service by allowing Him to validate their decisions. The will of God is no longer required or sought by most of humanity. Although some Christians may sincerely say that they want to follow God’s will, they are at a complete loss on how to understand it and without understanding His will, then it cannot be effectively followed.

Logic and all that it entails will not allow us to understand God’s will. If you have all the facts that can be observed, you still will not understand God’s will. Without understanding God’s will completely then it is impossible to make the right choice. To understand God’s will, we must look beyond logic by stepping out in faith. If we sincerely pray seeking God’s will, then He will impress His will upon our hearts through His still small voice. The good news is God’s will for our lives will not violate the Holy Scriptures, which is our standard for all of time. God’s will may seem illogical because we cannot see all the facts. Simply put, we cannot see the future, which could adversely affect our decisions. God can see the future because He is already there. Jesus Christ said I am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning, and the end. In my personal journey, I have followed God’s will even when it did not appear to be the logical choice. I followed God’s will even if my research told me otherwise. I followed God’s will even if it was against my heartfelt desire. I trusted in God’s loving providence to work out everything to the best for His chosen children. I trusted God because He has shown me multiple times that His will was the best choice even if it was against our human logic.

So, God’s will is truly beyond logic. If we can no longer trust our instincts or our time-honored research, then how can we determine God’s will? We must learn how to listen to the Spirit who will always put us on the right path. Although we may not immediately arrive at the proper choice, we are now on a path keeping in step with the Spirit until the proper choice becomes evident. This is very important to allow God through the Spirit to lead us to the right decision. This is the hardest part for humanity who pridefully wants an immediate decision without waiting. Even many believers have no desire to follow the Spirit one step at a time waiting patiently for God to reveal His will. Most want immediate gratification even if it leads to the wrong decision. On the other hand, if we keep in step with the Spirit, then we soon realize that God opens new doors giving us a completely different perspective. We begin to see things that we never saw before. Also, when we keep in step with the Spirit, He brings to our memory certain Scripture texts that will shine a bright light into our souls, either to validate or nullify our decisions. Every step of the way God will reveal His will in His time and not ours (Isiah 55:8-9).

The Bible says, “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Romans 12:2). This takes time. It’s a process. One step at a time we move closer to God allowing Him to transform us by renewing our minds. We are no longer locked into time and space, but we understand that there is a much bigger picture that encompasses all of time. We begin to see everything from a new perspective. Decisions are no longer based on only what we see but on God’s will who knows the future. So, if we can’t see the future, which we can’t, then it always takes faith, believing God knows best even if it seems illogical at the time. In my journey, I have stepped out in faith many times even when the decision seemed illogical, and have been greatly blessed with what I have termed as God’s little miracles. It would be easy to fill up an entire book of these little miracles, but one will suffice. Early on in my ministry when finances were tight, we were faced with a decision about purchasing an expensive new tire (that was not quite the right size, because of its unavailability) or trusting God to make the trip with our old tire. Well, we prayed and trusted God to make the long trip with the old tire, and halfway to our destination the tire blew out, but to our amazement a service station was spotted in the middle of nowhere that had the correct size tire at a much cheaper price. All glory to God for His perfect will.

Dear children, if we trust in God’s loving providence to always lead us to make the right choice, even if it seems illogical at the time, then all of our anxieties will be exchanged for peace that defies understanding. Think of the times in your life when you said, “if I had only known, then my decision would have been different.” God knows, so this should motivate us to always follow His will. Now, let’s take this to a higher level that deals with the entire world and not just our personal choices. Prophecy sheds light on the choices of an entire world. New Testament prophecy is meant to give God’s children direction in every age from the first century until now. The prophecy is not static for only one time in the future, (often misunderstood by the lukewarm church), but is dynamic for the entire end times. So, what does the Revelation prophecy tell us? In every age, there has been the spirit of Antichrist leading God’s children astray to trust in their own logic while the prophecy warns the world that the consequences of their sins are increasing exponentially through world wars, natural disasters, and global pandemics. The spirit of Antichrist has blinded humanity into believing that they have the power to defeat the enemy in their proxy wars, to stop the pandemics by engineering our DNA, and to stop global warming with their latest decisions. Yet, humanity misses the only solution, which is following the will of God through global repentance. For the world, this seems illogical, so they will reject the will of God and suffer the consequences of world war and complete devastation.  Dear children, God’s will is beyond logic. The world must repent now by following God’s will exclusively or face Armageddon.

Let us pray: “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6:10).

Only Servants Are Called Prophets

In the Last Days, many will claim to speak for God as His anointed prophets. However, the true test of a prophet is that they are servants of the Most High God. Servanthood is a great subject that’s not understood or recognized in the modern world but is essential for every true believer in Christ. Many of the great prophets and Apostles of old claimed that they were servants of God and later servants of Jesus Christ their Lord. There was a clear understanding of the meaning of Lord, who is Master, a meaning all but lost in our present day. The early Christians understood the relationship between the master and the servant or between the lord and the slave. It was an easy concept to grasp when they followed Jesus Christ as Lord and Master. They happily accepted their new position as slaves to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They understood the amazing benefits of being in the household of an all-powerful God and the great responsibility of being His servant. Let us pray that we will also understand the depth and majesty of this relationship between us and the Most High God of heaven and earth.

Many professed followers of Jesus Christ in our day have become experts in all the benefits while neglecting the weightier responsibilities of being a servant or a slave. Any brief observation of the many posts on social media or the preaching from the modern-day pulpit will attest to the glorying in the benefits while they neglect the responsibilities of being a servant of God. So, what are our responsibilities of being a servant? The closest approximation for our day is being a server, a waiter, or a waitress, to meet the needs and desires of the customer. Although our God has no needs, He does have desires given to us through His written Words in the Bible, that accentuates all of His beautiful commandments. Ideally, the Words in the Bible along with God’s beautiful commandments should be written on our hearts through regular reading of the Bible, so that we know how to serve God. The Holy Spirit is given to every believer to bring back to our memory the Words written on our hearts to serve God in every area of our lives. When the Word of God and His beautiful commandments come back to our memory, then we must act upon it by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us.

Yes, the Holy Spirit will bring the Words written on our hearts back to our memory, so, we must learn how to actively listen and obey the Spirit’s leading. Dear children, this is not scheduled only once or twice during your daily prayer times. It is scheduled for every moment of every day, always listening for the Spirit even when you are conversing with others or actively involved in another project. Yes, we have the God given ability to do more than one thing at a time, so there is no excuse for not listening to the indwelling Spirit every moment of every day allowing Him to be our guide. A word of caution here: you do not need to tell every person you run into that the Spirit told you such and such. Believe me, the Spirit of God will lead you when this is necessary. Mostly God is looking for obedience from His servants, not just lip service. We must learn to listen, then we can keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26). He is our Guide. The key to listening is to stop thinking and stop filling your mind with every vain imagination. I know this will be difficult for most, but it is necessary to practice silence and solitude so that we can hear what the Spirit is saying to us and the church (Revelation 3:22).

When I am writing or speaking to others, I take great pains to hear only what God is saying through the Spirit. I have also done this when doing biblical counseling, always waiting long before speaking. I have discovered that most people are not much interested in what we say, but only in what God has to say through us. As servants of God, who keep in step with the Spirit, we quickly realize that serving God is not only speaking but doing. Again we must listen. When the Spirit says speak, then we speak God’s truth, encouragement, or admonishment. Only the Spirit of God can lead His servants to speak a word of prophecy or to powerfully use their Spiritual gifts for His glory. If we are listening, speaking, and doing as the Spirit leads every moment of our waking day, we will turn the world upside down. Unfortunately, most believers have grown mute while around their families, at work, at school, or in public. Only listening, speaking, and doing, as we are led by the Spirit, will prove that we are true servants of God. Only God’s true servants, who listen to His Spirit, can make a real difference in the world. Unfortunately, we live in a world where everybody is speaking and doing but nobody is listening. To be a true servant of God always starts with listening.

We live in a world where everyone wants to spend an enormous amount of time researching, studying, and using their own knowledge to change the world. The only one that they are listening to is self. Self has become all-important building their pride to the point where it egotistically rubs off on everyone. This is the spirit of Antichrist seen in most leaders and politicians in the world. You can see what their pride is accomplishing, it’s bringing the world to the brink of total destruction. Yet, servanthood is the gateway to true greatness in the Kingdom. The Bible says, “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted” (Matthew 23:11-12). This is the true path to servanthood and greatness because only humility will shut our mouths and open our ears. There is absolutely nothing in us that can make a difference in others and the world. All of our wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge will make no difference. Only God’s truth spoken through His written Word and brought to our minds by the Holy Spirit will make a difference. If you truly believe this, then you are ready to make a difference. If you believe this, then you are ready to become something out of nothing by the power and majesty of the Almighty God.

Only servants are called prophets. Servants are only called prophets because they have humbled themselves under the righteous hand of God. Everything they speak comes directly from the Spirit who resurrects a memory of God’s Word that was implanted in their hearts. This implanting was not made possible by memorizing God’s Word. People have memorized the entire New Testament and have remained pagan. This implanting by the Spirit is made possible through a heart-felt conviction that brings forth a time of weeping, remorse, and true repentance promising to never commit the trespass or to ignore the teaching again. When the Spirit truly has our ear through repentance and willingness to follow through on all of His teachings, then we will hear the prophetic Words of God for a lukewarm church that has greatly stumbled in our day. Thus saith the Lord, “Only true repentance will make a difference and stop the righteous hand of God pouring forth the bowls of His wrath.” Changing man’s laws, fixing global warming, and destroying nations threatening the West will not stop the righteous hand of God. Pretending to have a revival without true repentance will not stop the righteous hand of God. Imagine what the world would look like if everyone who claims to follow Christ truly repented by allowing the Spirit of God to write God’s laws upon their heart through heart-felt conviction and true repentance. Dear children, without true repentance the world is headed for the apocalypse, much sooner than you think. We are on the precipice.

We Are Children of Light

There is a great battle being waged between the children of light and the children of darkness. This spiritual battle has been raging for thousands of years with times of great victory and times of demoralizing defeat. Now, we are coming to the end of the battle where everything will be exposed. There will be a clear demarcation between the children of light and the children of darkness. In the eyes of the fallen world, the children of light will become more repulsive, being labeled as fanatics and haters of humanity. Many will escape the wrath of fallen humanity by blending in, while many others will face a different kind of wrath by fighting back with the weapons of this world. On the hand, the children of light will wage a different kind of war in the Spiritual realm that will have powerful results in the physical world. They will have learned the secret of letting their light shine brightly to overcome the powers of darkness, which is holding the entire world hostage. This heavenly light shining forth from God’s faithful remnant will bring forth true repentance or a ferociousness not seen since the first century. Therefore, it will be necessary for the faithful remnant to seek out one another, encouraging them to stand firm on the truth, and trust in God alone. Continue reading We Are Children of Light

When the World Falls Apart

Nobody wants to think about when the world falls apart. Most will simply ignore this message as they have ignored most prophetic messages, while some will spin their own interpretation, while others will take it to heart seeking God’s guidance for the days ahead. I pray that you do the latter. The problem with today’s world, to use an old idiom, is that most are, “going from pillar to post.” They are always searching for the truth, most often in the wrong place, causing them to change what they believe multiple times and never arrive at the truth. They don’t know the truth about themselves or the world in which they live. So, when the world starts to fall apart, most won’t recognize it until it’s too late. Even if some recognize the decline and try to stop it, it will slip into total madness, because they don’t know the truth about how to stop it. The political establishment cannot stop the decline. The lukewarm church cannot stop the decline. Everything they do will end up in chaos. I hope to spare you of that, by convincing you that the world as we now know it has been falling apart for some time now and is gradually getting worse until it becomes unrecognizable. That should not only frighten you, but it should horrify you. So, please let me encourage you to learn how to stop the decline before it’s too late. Continue reading When the World Falls Apart
