Deceived or Deception
There are so many deceptions in the church world and Deceived, you wonder why. The answer to this an easy answer. The people want it that way. The church has become as those Israelis did. They told God " we will not do it your way" we will do it our way. You can see it in the Baptist, Pentecostal, Methodist, church of the Lord Jesus
Christ and I would fail if I left out the Branhamites and William Branham. It is in all churches. They all are in one
group. They all have fallen backward cause they hate the straight and narrow way. They took the other way
that leads to destruction which is man's way. They went to an organization which man formed. One said this and one said that and none was in the truth. They took the wicked way which God hated and yes, God hated it.
The paths of their way are turned aside and God has his eyes upon their ways. They changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man. They changed their gods, which are no gods
They have forsaken the fountain of living waters and went into stagnated water that is not flowing. Stagnated water is perfect breeding for many evil things that the church has now. Let me name just a few. They all bring up
about how their church will be raptured out of here. They all say God was born and came in the flesh to a
sinful world. They all say it is ok to have the xmass with all that goes with it. Especially the giving of gifts.
Also easter and halloween, valentines, new years and new years parties. There are many more that I could add but
will not at this time. As I said these are in stagnated water that will not flow. They refuse the living waters that was flowing with milk and honey. These living waters begin with a brook and then came into a rushing mighty river that started with Jesus and then the apostles on the day of Pentecost. But the church became stiffnecked people and wanted no part of it. They began listening to man and women. The likes of Ellen White Joel Osteen and all of the televangelists. Yes. they brought in the evil tvs and listen to what these evil people were saying. I called the tvs a monster sitting in the living room with his ears sticking out on the roof.
The scripture said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. People I know you will not listen to what I say
because you would not hearken unto what God said. I am only doing this message to show you are deceived and
it is a deception and I know the church has gone too far too believe the truth. The people believe something that is
not true to the word. These preachers, evangelist, singers and all that is connected with the work of the church.
they do it to gain some personal advantage or pay. As I said you are deceived by deception listening to man.
These churches set up organizations by man. God never required this. It is from man.
As I said these organizations are man-made. Orgainization is not even mentioned in scriptures. Millions of people
are being deceived by these churches.

2 Thessalonians 2:3
Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and
that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; ( the church is at this stage now. They all have fallen away.
Man. was the one that deceived the people. They followed some man good words and fair speeches. People
have let some man beguile them with enticing words You listen to the serpent and as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, corrupted your minds. You have taken on the mind of satan. You listen to all kinds of his evil music. you watch all kinds of shows on your evil tv. The church has replaced the anointed singers and brought in what is called Christian rock. I have heard people in the church say "we had such good service tonight that our pastor did not get to preach". When did good things like singing replace preaching of the word of God.
You allowed your children to play all kinds of games on their xboxes or whatever they use. You did know or
should have known that satan is the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of
disobedience and then you wonder why your children will not obey their parents. I think it is to late for the church
to return to its roots. But God might think differed if you return unto him with a repented heart
The scripture says the woman being deceived was in the transgression. Now, would someone tell who this woman
is? What does the woman represent or symbol in scripture? Wait, I will tell you. It is the church. So it is the church that is in the transgression. The church took the things of God from the house of God. They took beauty of God and turned them into ashes. Instead of the other way around. You see they reversed it.

The church has turned aside, and serve other gods, and worship them. The church now has the spirit of Adam.
He ( spirit of Adam) sent man to de the church. How? you might say. He deceived you with his lips. He will not speak the truth: they have taught their tongue to speak lies and weary themselves to commit iniquity. they have is no understanding in him.

Matthew 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. ( do you all know the meaning of take heed?
It means to pay attention. So you need to pay attention to this message. This message is not from me but from God. God is only using me as a messenger. The reason I said that is: Because man, had lifted himself up as God and became proud just as the churches of today have." Look what we done" they say.
The true Israel of God will never lift themselves up. The true Israel of God has warned the people of this great
destruction that was coming to the church time after time after time. The people are polluted by the worldly churches. Yet, they refuse to hear or heed and will not flee from this evil Adam. They will never escape if they
refuse to hear the warning that God has placed the trumpet in the hands of the true trumpteer. People you
are deceiving yourselves. The church is falling down to the ground. Let no man deceive himself. For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. Let no man deceive you with vain words. For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers. 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. People will not believe but the Grace period is about over.

Now let me say this, how can two walk together except they agree? I have friends that are in a false movement.

Now I want to go back to Matthew 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive
many.
Matthew 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Matthew 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
( I have something to say about one of these false prophets. As I said that is why I said, how can two
walk together except they agree? This false prophet was William Branham. He claims he was a prophet sent from God in the spirit of Elijah and claims to be the forerunner of the 2nd coming of Christ.. He also preached a serpent seed message with some evil, evil things about the woman. He also rejected the Acts 2:38
doctrine. He started his ministry as a Baptist preacher. His wife Hope saw that baptism in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins was the way. She told him that was the biggest mistake they ever made. She was on her
death bed at the time. Was not long after that she died. Branam chose to reject the truth that his wife told to
him. Hope was his first wife . Also as I said his minisitry started in the Baptist church and he did not fully leave that
doctrine. William Branham said that speaking in tongues was BABYHOOD. He indicated plainly: Tongues is not
the evidence. He also preached rapture and predicted 1977 would be the year that the church would be raptured
from the earth. That one thing alone would make him a false prophet. Many went to his grave and held vigils
expecting him to self-resurrect himself and prove to the world he was God. He did not believe in the the new
birth of water and Spirit baptisms to be saved. He accepted trinity. Some of his follwers say they do not believe he was a false prophet. Matter of fact my friend says he does not follow what Branham says. But if he does not why would he keep going to the Branhamite church?

Ok, let the scriptures tell us. Was Branham a false prophet? He claimed he was a prophet sent from God.
Luke 16:16... The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it. ( what did this vs. say? the law and the prophets were until John. until meaning up to the point in time.
Micah 3:6 Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that
ye shall not divine; and the and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
(Night and dark meaning death. Sun going down meaning no more light from the prophets. I know we have
new testament prophets. But this is showing the old testament prophets that always started with Thus saith
the Lord
Hebrews 1:1-2 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past
unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom
also he made the worlds; ( our needed 3 scriptures. So yes he was a false prophet but let's continue on.
Matter fact the word said: John 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in
my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto
you. ( Jesus said the Holy Ghost will be our teacher)
Acts 1:2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after that he through the Holy Ghost had given commandments
unto the apostles whom he had chosen: ( he said the Holy Ghost had given commandments unto the apostles whom
he had chosen: ( Paul also said in 1 Corinthians 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him
acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. ( it is very clear what Paul
said here. he said if you think yourself as a prophet, you are going to have listen to what I say because I write
unto you are the commandments of the Lord. Jude vs 17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were
spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 John 2:27 King James Version (KJV)
27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
John:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of
himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. ( Once again the needed scriptures that said we do not need an OT prophet. So as before Branham is a liar when he said he was a prophet sent from God. So who are you going to believe? Willam Branham or the scriptures? There are thousands and thousands mabe millions and my friend is included among them. These people are deceived and would rather believe this lying man and be damned. One more thing before I forget. He went against Jesus about birth of Water and Spirit. What did Jesus say? John 3; 5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the
Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
So once again Was Branham a false prophet? Sure he was.

Did he come in the spirit of Elijah? What does scripture say? Matthew 11:14 And if ye will receive it, this is
Elias, which was for to come. { he was speaking of John the Baptist. Will the followers of Branham receive it.
No, they will not? Because it goes against his teachings.]
5 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. [ will they hear. No]
Mat:10 And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come?
11 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things.
12 But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them.
13 Then the disciples understood that he spake unto them of John the Baptist.[ Jesus said Elias is come already,
they knew him not but my question did the ones that followed Branham know John the Baptist has already come Everidently they did not because they belived the liar William Branham. The apostles said; Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. [ Branham was one that said that he came in the spirirt of Elias which is another of his lies.

Luke 1:15 For he shall be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink; and he shall
be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his mother's womb.
16 And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
17 And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. [ who is this speaking of? Firs.t we must see who was filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb.
Luke 1:13 But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John and he shall be filled with the Holy Ghost, even from his
mother's womb.[ I would like to ask the Branmites was his father's name Zacharias and was his mother Elizabeth and was he filled with the Holy Ghost while still in his mother's womb? According to scripture, no he did not come
in the spirith of Elijah. So yes he was a liar and a false prophet] I was told by my friend that I had better watch I was saying for I was blaspheming against the Holy Ghost. I said to him " no you are blaspheming against
the Holy Ghost"

I know this is long but it is what the Lord requires of me. The same friend asked did I think that speaking in tongues
was the evidence of the Holy Ghost. I answered " sure I do" He asked me did I believe the Baptist were saved
because they speak in tongues? My answer was yes and let me say right here, anyone can be saved.The word said he that endureth to the end shall be saved. But if they
do not go forward once they see the truth of Acts 2:38 and God will lead them in truth.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to
us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Once again he wanted proof with the word where they spoke in tongues while he had not given me one scripture
that what his god Branham had said was true. Which did not make any difference to me because God had nnointed my lips and I was speaking the words of God. So here is my proof
Mark 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall
speak with new tongues; Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other
tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 10:46 For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Acts 19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them; and they
spake with tongues, and prophesied. [ once more than the 3 needed scriptures ]
Then this Branhamite said I was arguing and I wanted debate him which he did not do. Sure I was. But I was the
only one doing the debate and arguing. So I told him to go to Acts 15 and I would show him Paul said he did it
daily.
Acts 15:2 When therefore Paul and Barnabas had no small dissension and disputation with them, they determined
that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, should go up to Jerusalem unto the apostles and elders
about this question. [ I asked him to look up the words dissension and disputation. Whether he did or not I can
not say but for the truth of doubters I will show all what those 2 words mean. quarreling disagreement dispute and
there are other meanings but enough for the 3 needed meaning. Paul said this is no small matter in other words he was saying this should be something to be taken seriously. Paul said in verse 15: 7 And when there had been much disputing, Peter rose up, and said unto them, Men and brethren, ye know how that a good while ago God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth should hear the word of the gospel, and believe. [ I am as Paul God has placed in my mouth the words that I speak to you. There are other also. One that has been speaking the word for many years even from her child hood . I named her Paulette so she is Paulette Jo Smith.
I have much more I could say but will end this. But before I do I would like to show just a few things he said about
woman in his serpent seed message.
To start with he said that our holy mother Eve committed adultery with the serpert. He said sex was the original
sin. Some more he said the serpent was changed into a literal snake. And that snakes can wrap around the woman
and can give the woman more sexal pleasures that she ever had. He also said he would not waste a good
shotgun shell on a woman. Also another lie he said God did not have to use a woman, he could have put it (his seed) on a STUMP and brought forth his Son? He said the tree of knowledge of good and evil was the woman sex
organs. a woman is worse than a dog? said a tall handsome fellow came along when Eve was in season and seduced her into sex. He said men could have more than one wife. Do any of you women think you would enjoy
a snake wrapped around you? how a woman went with a black man one morning, then her white husband that
evening and had twins one black, the other white trying to prove his lie against Eve.
There are millions that said this man to be a great man of God. Now how can this be? Let me end with this. Remember when I started this I said it is in all churches. They all are in one
group. These churches all have become Branhamites.
