Today is Monday, 1/24, 2005. I am continuing the series of messages God has been giving me on the naked condition of the church system in our land today. Much of this message is already in some of the other messages, but I feel I must address this important matter a bit more. This is just too important a subject to not cover it completely and thoroughly. So with the leadership of God, I will try to make this so clear that even the simple can understand it.
Mark 7:6 He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7:7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 7:8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 7:9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.
As I taught in the other messages, the word serpent means a hypocrite. Jesus is battling the serpents of his day here. Much of his battle was against the hypocrite serpents. That has always been the true problem. He said these people are pretending to love God but it is only from their lips, it is not in their heart. That is what a hypocrite is: someone pretending to be a child of God when they are just a child of Satan. Their lives are full of sin and iniquity, yet they pretend to be holier than anyone else. God despises this kind of person. Most of the preachers fit into this category.
Jesus said this kind of worship is in vain. What makes it vain? They lay aside the commandment of God, [repent, be baptized in water in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins, and be filled with the Baptism of the Holy Ghost; Acts 10], and teach for doctrine the commandments of MAN.
Now that is the theme of this message -- what are these commandments of MAN which the preachers and churches teach for doctrine? I showed above what the commandment of God is which they are laying aside for their own false doctrine.
Acts 10:44 While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. 10:45 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter, 10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we? 10:48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry certain days.
Now there is given the same message to Gentiles which was delivered by Peter to the Jews. This is the one and ONLY way given in the NT for obtaining salvation. Yet what does the modern-day churches teach? Most of them teach that all one must do is just say you believe that Jesus is God’s Son, and maybe ask forgiveness for sins, and then you are assured to have eternal life, no matter what kind of life you live from then on. Is such a doctrine taught in the Word of God? Of course not. It is a doctrine of man. It is twisting the Word of God and leaving out most Scriptures pertaining to salvation. It is leaving out the one I quoted in Acts 10. It is leaving those in Acts 2, 8, 10, 19, and 22. Not one NT minister recorded in the Holy Book, taught that you can just repeat some made-up confession or prayer and this will give you eternal life. It is lies from Satan.
Full well they lay aside the true plan of salvation, chosen by God himself, and teach such trash as the above. It is doctrines of man, not God. So this kind of ‘confession’ is in vain. There is not one Scripture anywhere saying that God has laid aside the true method of salvation taught by the Apostles of Jesus and picked up some frivolous man-made prayer and confession. Some even print this silly ‘prayer’ on little ‘tracts’, on the internet, and other such places, and tell people to repeat them and maybe sign the paper and this gives them salvation. This is an abomination to the living God. It is a trick of Satan to lead unsuspecting souls down the road of destruction to hell fire.
What happened to the glorious Baptism of the Holy Ghost? When and why did God stop giving that to converts? What Scripture shows that God will not give that to us today? What Verse shows it is no longer required or valid? Just because Paul said in on place that one must believe on Jesus and confess with their mouth, DOES NOT DO AWAY WITH THE REST OF THE PLAN. Paul never at any time said that is ALL THERE IS TO RECEIVING SALVATION.
The Word is written in a mystery and it must be Spiritually discerned. That is why Satan’s children will miss it and accept this false, vain worship. They hate truth and righteousness. They love sin and will do anything to continue on in sin and still hope to have eternal life. It is deception and the broad road leading to hell and destruction.
1Cor 14:1 Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. 14:5 I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.
14:29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. 14:30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 14:31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
Here Paul told the Church to desire spiritual gifts. He said I wish ye all spoke with tongues. He said if one prophet is speaking and God reveals something to another person, let the first one hold his peace and let the one God is dealing with speak. He said ye may ALL prophesy, one by one.
Now I personally do not know of a single church anywhere which follows this pattern. I know of no church which gives everyone the right and chance to speak and reveal what God is showing them. The churches today are run by a dictatorship. They PAY one man to do all the speaking and teaching and rule the church. This is nothing short of the mark of the beast. It is Catholicism. It matters not what they call themselves, they are following the pattern of that whore church of letting one man get paid to run things. God’s true Church was never designed this way. So it is vain worship.
These hirelings will not even allow their members to question what they teach or say. They will not allow someone to whom God may be revealing deep, glorious truths to, to even speak, for they do not want their members to learn anything different from their false man-made doctrine. This is how they continue to rule over them and have the preeminence. Is it how God said for the Church to be run? No. God said feed the flock of God, but not by constraint nor for filthy lucre. He said you are not lords over God’s heritage. Yet the pastors of today lord over the entire church and are actually receiving worship. They have set up the worship-service as a theater, so that everyone is facing this one man and letting him be the center of attention. This is worship. But it is in vain. In vain do they worship me, teaching their own doctrines. Jesus said the hypocrites desire the chief seats in the synagogues. So these pastors and evangelists always have their chief, throne chair set up on the stage, so everyone can look at them and adore, or worship them. They sit there showing themselves to be god. Everyone’s attention is on that man. They adore him and watch him perform as he runs the aisles screaming and huffing and puffing like a wolf. Is it of God? I think not.
So how do you know if they are teaching doctrines of man? If it is not written in God’s Word just exactly the way they say it, then it is false. Some say it does not have to be EXACT but only have the same meaning. This is how they change the Word and ADD their own thoughts. If it is truth, it will be written exactly as it is told. Else, where is the proof? What shall you prove all things by? If we are not to add even one word, how can it not be EXACT? If we are not to take away even one Word, how can you say it different and not change it?
And not only must it be stated EXACTLY as you say it, but there must also be another witness in the Word of the SAME thing, each revealing the other. This is how truth is proven. Only in this way are you worshipping in Spirit and in TRUTH. Any other form of worship is in VAIN. If it is in vain, your soul is headed to destruction. Is it worth it to you? What will you give in exchange for your soul? A little prestige today? A little honour, worship, money, folks following you? Is it worth it? A little sin, a little lie, a little fornication, a little theft? Is it worth it to you? Will you spend eternity in hell fire for this silly little mess a few years here in carnal life?
Very few preachers or church members study the Word to find truth. How then are you worshipping in Spirit and in truth? If you do not love the Word of God, you do not love God. When God said for us to study to show ourselves approved to God, he meant every child of God. Yet this false church today has everyone believing that only the paid preacher is responsible to study the Word. They totally depend on this one man to tell them what the Word says. It is a sure road to hell. If God said this is how to be approved to God, then how are you going to be approved when you disobey this command to study? You think you do not have to study or obey. I ask you all, where is even one word from God stating that the way to salvation or to be approved to God is to GO TO CHURCH REGULARLY? Please, you who teach and believe this lie or doctrine of MAN, please show me where the verse is which teaches this. I say you cannot do so, for it is not written in the Word. God never commanded this. It is commandments of man. It is to establish man’s dominion and set the man up on high and to be worshiped. It is vain worship.
Every preacher and church person I know says that you absolutely MUST go to church to serve God or receive salvation. Where is that written in the Word? If it is not written, it is doctrines of man and makes your worship vain. I have never read where Jesus or any Apostle ever told even one person they must go to church. It is of man, or Satan. Jesus showed that we will not have a certain place to go to worship. He said neither in Jerusalem or your mountain. So then how is it of God when you are told you MUST be in a certain church at a certain time? It is rejecting the teaching of Jesus for the doctrine of man.
1Cor 12:31 But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet show I unto you a more excellent way.
Here Paul told the church to actually COVET the best gifts. He also said to covet to prophesy. 1co 14:39 Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.
Now where is a church whose people covet these gifts? Where is a church which practices these gifts? Most churches actually forbid these things and say they are not for us today. Where does the Word say that? Where did Paul change his mind? Or God? It is lies of man. Most churches forbid to speak with tongues and deny this precious gift. Why? It is doctrines of man, Satan.
Man commands you to go to your own church faithfully, every time they have services. They say you must NOT go to some other church service. Why? Where does the Word of God command this? I know of no place. So it is commandments of man, making your worship in VAIN. Why is this done? It is for one purpose only: to cause this certain church to have more people and money flowing there. They are in competition with other preachers. They want to ‘out-do’ the other brother. Is this the love of God? No, it cannot be. Jesus said to love your neighbor as your self. So again they lay aside the command of Jesus for their own commandment.
Jesus said where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in their midst. Why then are preachers and church member so intent on seeing just how many folks they can lure into their theater? It is a ‘pride’ thing and a money thing. It is of man. It is savoring the things which be of man. It is works of man or flesh. It will be burned up as stubble. It will lead you to hell. Is it worth it? Think about this.
I know almost no one likes my teachings. But I truthfully say this is God’s Word. This is what God gives me to teach. It crosses everything out in the church world and that is why they do not like it. But it will stand and will judge you in that day, for it is of God. It is proven in the Written Word of God. I teach nothing which I do not give Scripture for. I find not one Scripture for all these doctrines of man and church. I have asked them over and over to show me Scripture for their lies, but they never do. They cannot. It is lies of man.
Most churches say they must meet on Sunday; some others do it on Saturday. Where is even one verse where God commanded this? It is lies of man. The true Apostolic Church met together ever single day. They met DAILY. They went from HOUSE TO HOUSE breaking the Bread of Life. Where is even one Church involved in this type ministry today? I know of none.
Jesus told his Church to go out into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. Where is a church doing this? They lay this COMMAND aside and tell them to come into their theater if they desire to hear anything. They actually lead people to think you cannot find salvation outside their little four walls, or some other four walls. Then if this be true, the eunuch which Phillip converted has no salvation. He was not in any church, now was he? How about the Philippian jailor? He was not in church. How about Cornelius? He was not in any church. Neither were any of these people told they must start attending some church. So where is the proof of this doctrine? It is of man.
This church system is not raising up a group of people dedicated to reaching out unto the people in the world. They feel no responsibility to go out and preach Jesus to anyone. They feel it is the pastor’s job to do the reaching souls, and that is only in their theater services. Even the preachers do not go out into the world and try to convert the sinners. They feel the sinner must come to him in his church. Is this what Jesus commanded his Church to do? No. He said you go out to them. Who obeys this? In vain do they worship.
Jesus said speak every man truth to his neighbor. Do they do this? No. The preachers lie to everyone. They teach lies. They lie in their personal life. The members do the same. They feel it matters not. So how are they obeying the commandment of Jesus? They lay aside his commandment and live their lies. It is in vain. It will cost you your soul.
Jesus said make not my Father’s house a house of merchandise. So what do the churches do? They lay this commandment aside and go out into the world SELLING stuff and begging the world to give money to them. They lay up large bank-accounts. They lay aside the commandment of Jesus to LAY not up treasure on earth. They reject this word and lay up their treasures, which they got by merchandizing. They continue the OT tithing method to rob the poor. They lay aside the NT method of no constraint. It is giving willfully; giving all that you have to God.
Jesus told the ministers, freely you have received, freely give. What do the preachers do? They lay this commandment aside and brain-wash the people into thinking they were told to freely give money to the preachers or church. It is vain worship. They have changed everything Jesus told his true Church to be and do. They have picked up man-made doctrines and commandments. They are a naked, blind, wretched church.
God blotted the day of Jesus’ birth out of existence. [Job three]. He commanded us not to try and worship his as the heathens do their gods. What does the church do? They lay this commandment aside and run fully after the heathen-method of worship = holidays = pretending to celebrate the birth of Jesus, which God forbids. It is vain worship, It is devil worship.
Jesus said for his children to lay hands on the sick and heal them. So what do the preachers and churches do? Tell them to run to the doctor and hospitals if they get sick. Jesus said cast out devils. Do they practice this? No, they lay this commandment aside also. I find not one commandment of Jesus being obeyed by this modern-day church or preachers. I know of not one single true Church today. I know of not one fulfilling what Jesus and the Book of Acts commanded . I know of none which has the gifts of the Holy Ghost at work in their church. I see some fakes, but no real thing; no real faith. Most church members tell me they know nothing about faith. Their lives prove this. It is in vain. Without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.
The Word of God tells us not to give flattering titles to man. Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. 32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Now this is strong stuff. It says that God will soon take one away who gives flattering titles unto man. So what do the churches do? They call every minister some kind of flattering title. Every preacher feels he must be addressed by some flattering title. Pastor so-and-so; Dr, Evangelist, Reverend, Chaplain, etc. So God is going to take them all away.
Is it worth it? They all wish to be known that they are Mr. Pastor. Oh I know the preachers do not like this stuff, but it matters not. God told me to teach it. I will obey him. God showed me years and years ago that he had called me to preach to preachers. Now I am fulfilling this calling. God has shown me what he has against these preachers and churches. They are ALL money-making organizations. The love of money is the root of all evil. They are into all evil. Full well they reject the council of God against themselves and teach lies of man.
The Holy Ghost is NOT in control or leadership in any of these churches today. That paid pastor is in full control, therefore he is your god. You are worshiping a man. It is vain worship.
Jesus said you are all brethern. Paul said you are all one. Yet this church today lifts up one man above the others, pays him to do his ‘work’ of God, [mark of beast], and flat refuse someone God might send unto them to show them some of God’s truth.

They continue the OT tithing method to rob the poor. They lay aside the NT method of no constraint. It is giving willfully; giving all that you have to God.
Jesus told the ministers, freely you have received, freely give. What do the preachers do? They lay this commandment aside and brain-wash the people into thinking they were told to freely give money to the preachers or church. It is vain worship. They have changed everything Jesus told his true Church to be and do. They have picked up man-made doctrines and commandments. They are a naked, blind, wretched church.
God blotted the day of Jesus’ birth out of existence. [Job three]. He commanded us not to try and worship his as the heathens do their gods. What does the church do? They lay this commandment aside and run fully after the heathen-method of worship = holidays = pretending to celebrate the birth of Jesus, which God forbids. It is vain worship, It is devil worship.
Jesus said for his children to lay hands on the sick and heal them. So what do the preachers and churches do? Tell them to run to the doctor and hospitals if they get sick. Jesus said cast out devils. Do they practice this? No, they lay this commandment aside also. I find not one commandment of Jesus being obeyed by this modern-day church or preachers. I know of not one single true Church today. I know of not one fulfilling what Jesus and the Book of Acts commanded . I know of none which has the gifts of the Holy Ghost at work in their church. I see some fakes, but no real thing; no real faith. Most church members tell me they know nothing about faith. Their lives prove this. It is in vain. Without FAITH it is IMPOSSIBLE to please God.
The Word of God tells us not to give flattering titles to man. Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. 32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
Now this is strong stuff. It says that God will soon take one away who gives flattering titles unto man. So what do the churches do? They call every minister some kind of flattering title. Every preacher feels he must be addressed by some flattering title. Pastor so-and-so; Dr, Evangelist, Reverend, Chaplain, etc. So God is going to take them all away.
Is it worth it? They all wish to be known that they are Mr. Pastor. Oh I know the preachers do not like this stuff, but it matters not. God told me to teach it. I will obey him. God showed me years and years ago that he had called me to preach to preachers. Now I am fulfilling this calling. God has shown me what he has against these preachers and churches. They are ALL money-making organizations. The love of money is the root of all evil. They are into all evil. Full well they reject the council of God against themselves and teach lies of man.
The Holy Ghost is NOT in control or leadership in any of these churches today. That paid pastor is in full control, therefore he is your god. You are worshiping a man. It is vain worship.
Jesus said you are all brethern. Paul said you are all one. Yet this church today lifts up one man above the others, pays him to do his ‘work’ of God, [mark of beast], and flat refuse someone God might send unto them to show them some of God’s truth.
