The Seven Churches of Revelation, Part 1: Ephesus (Written by my Wife)

 

The Seven Churches of Revelation, Part 1: Ephesus

I was not sure what to write about next, but as I was scrolling through my homepage on my ministry's Facebook page, I saw three different artwork images created that listed the seven churches in Revelation.  I knew I had my answer. I know this is a topic that had been written on probably thousands of times, but I cannot assume the three postings from pages I do not even follow, as a mere coincidence.  I know many people have probably done a better job writing on this subject, but this is my humble commentary.  (Here are part 1 and 2 of my husband's excellent writings on the 7 churches: https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2026/04/revelation-21-29-seven-churches-part.html & https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2026/04/revelation-31-22-seven-churches-part.html )

This is not a deep historical dive into each church, but I am mostly going to be showing us how we can apply each message to our own lives. 

(Revelation 2:1) Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.

Let's go back to chapter 1. When John begins reporting his revelation from God, he tells us his description of Jesus.  Chapter 1 is too long to list here, but please read the entire chapter on your own.  Here is a brief excerpt from John's description (or you can read Revelation 1:1-20 here from my Bible Journal https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2025/05/revelation-11-20.html )

(Revelation 1:10-16) I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, Saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea." And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

Such a beautiful and majestic description!  You will see in chapter 2 that he also mentions the 7 stars and 7 candlesticks.  In verse 20, Jesus explains this:

(Revelation 1:20) The mystery of the seven stars which thou sawest in my right hand, and the seven golden candlesticks. The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches: and the seven candlesticks which thou sawest are the seven churches. 

Now we will explore these 7 churches one at a time.

(Revelation 2:2) 'I know thy works..."

You will notice that to each and every church Jesus states, "I know thy works."  No, our works can never earn our salvation, but our works very much do matter and all we do is being observed and recorded.  We will all be accountable for our works.  

(Romans 14:10-11) For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written, "As I live," saith the Lord, "every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God."   

(Proverbs 24:12) Doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? and He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it? and shall not He render to every man according to his works?

(Ecclesiastes 12:14) For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

I don't mean to dwell on the judgment issue, but I believe that if more people really comprehended the fact that we will all be judged for all our actions, we would be so much more careful in our choices, so here are just two more:

(Matthew 16:27) [Jesus said], "For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works."

(Revelation 20:12-13) And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.

Now back to Revelation, chapter 2.

(Revelation 2:2) 'I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.'

Jesus loves to report the good things He sees in people because He wants so much for each of us to succeed in our spiritual walk with the Holy Trinity.  (2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord... is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.) He wants to encourage us to serve Him with all of our hearts. mind, and strength.  He will uphold us when no one else stands by us.  He will be our Champion and cheer us on when everyone else is trying to drag us down.  He will be our strength and help us go against the flow of an immoral world. (Romans 12:1-2 - I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 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.)

For the church of Ephesus, Jesus is pleased with their labor and patience.  He mentions their labor twice.  It can be very difficult to labor for the cause of Christ.  Finances, bad health, and
 lack of other resources can make it hard. However, God does not want our excuses why we cannot serve Him but is very pleased when we just get in there and serve Him in whatever ability we posses.  Have you heard this song written by Kittie L. Suffield: "Little is much when God is in it? Labor not for wealth or fame; There's a crown and you can win it, If you go in Jesus' name."?  So true.  But may we seek more to lay our crown at His feet than to seek our own glory.

It is often difficult to find patience when we endure trials (Romans 5:3-4- And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope:) as well as being patient with others when they exasperate us (1 Timothy 6:11 -But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness.).  As I mentioned above, this series is not a historical documentary, but more of a personal one for each of us.  Therefore, I do not know what type of patience Jesus was referring to in reference to the Ephesians, but we can be certain, that both types of patience please the Lord.

There are so many ways we can choose to stand against evil.  It can be in the forms of injustice or moral issues.  In this case Jesus says here that He is pleased with those whose intolerance of evil is exposing the false apostles as liars.  Some people may get angry when a True follower of Jesus points out a false belief or heretical spiritual leader, but as long as it is done with tact and in order to help open the eyes of others, it is what Jesus would like us to do.  We do not want to turn a blind eye when we see millions following a false preacher or false messiah. (Ephesians 5:11 - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. & Matthew 15:14 -They be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch.)

(Revelation 2:4-5) 'Nevertheless, I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.'

Verses 4-5 are enough to convince me that eternal security is false doctrine (although there are many other verses in the Bible that also say the same).  When we fall away from our First Love, our walk with Jesus Christ, our candlestick can be removed out of heaven.  But the great news is that Jesus gives each and every one of us a chance to fix our mistakes.  When we repent and repeat our first works (dedicating our life to God, asking for forgiveness of sins, possibly even another baptism), He will take us back! (Here is just one writing I have done on this issue: https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2023/02/come-as-you-are-but-dont-stay-that-way.html )

(Revelation 2:6) 'But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.'

Jesus again points out a positive quality the Ephesians possess. He again recognizes and appreciates that they hated sinful practices.  We should emulate this attitude. (Romans 12:9 - Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.)

To quickly sum up the deeds of the Nicolaitanes (Nicolaitans, in other version) that Jesus hated, they were full of idolatrous compromise and sexual immorality, which they justified by a distorted teaching that perverted grace into a license to sin. (1 Corinthians 10:14 - Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. & 2 Timothy 2:22 - Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart.)

(Revelation 2:7) "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God." 

This last verse to the church of Ephesus is exactly why I want to share all 7 messages of the churches so we can see how we can relate.  Because Jesus wants all of us to hear these messages.

To overcome means we have overcome sin in our lives.  Not that any of us will ever be perfect, of course, but that we can overcome temptations to sin and conquer our fleshly desires to please Jesus.  When we choose the plan of salvation and continue to walk in ways of holiness, we too we be able to eat of the tree of life in God's eternal paradise!  

(1 John 5:3-4) For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and His commandments are not grievous. For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world.

The Seven Churches of Revelation, Part 2: Smyrna (Written by my Wife)

 

The Seven Churches of Revelation, Part 2: Smyrna (Written by my wife)

(Revelation 2:8) And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; "These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive.'

Praise King Jesus; He is alive!  Jesus willingly endured a horrible death for our salvation, ascended into Hell to preach to the souls there, and then rose again, so we can have eternal life with The Holy Trinity in a forever Paradise!   

(Philippians 2:5-11) ...Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

(1 Corinthians 15:3-4) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

(1 Peter 3:18-22) For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison... The like figure whereunto even baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ: Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.

If you are interested, here is my recent writing on the message of salvation: https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2026/09/the-message-of-salvation.html

(Revelation 2:9 'I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.'

In part 1, I listed several scriptures that show that we will be held accountable for our works, so I will not post them again for each part of this series, but if you need a reminder, you can go back to part 1 and re-read them or do a Bible verse search on the phrase "according to works."  And again, I do not believe we can ever earn our salvation, as it is only by the blood of Jesus, not by rituals or empty religions that can save our souls. 

God not only sees our works, but also our struggles.  He says here that He sees tribulations and poverty. In this life we will struggle in most every area, through loss of loved ones, health issues, persecutions to varying degrees, as well as some of us may also struggle financially.  God does not always make a way out of our tribulations, but He will give us the strength to endure. Jesus often reminds me that in my times of physical struggles, He is holding my hand to offer comfort and strength. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10 - And He said unto me, "My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.")  

Some may get angry with God for not rescuing them, but we need to remember that some things must be endured to fulfill a certain purpose for ourselves or others, we may be being tested to see how much faith we have, we may be lacking in morality and therefore blocking God's rescue, or we just simply live in a fallen world and bad things happen.  Regardless of the reasons, please try not to blame God, but focus on the bigger, eternal picture of hope.

(John 16:33) "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

Yes, I know, finding "cheer" in the middle of a storm is not always easy, but someday, if we choose to accept the free gift of salvation and continue down paths of holiness (Luke 13:23-24 - Then said one unto Him, "Lord, are there few that be saved?" And He said unto them, "Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able."), the troubles of this world will all be over, and the bad times will either all make sense or they simply won't matter at all!

(Revelation 7:16-17) They shall hunger no more, neither thirst any more; neither shall the sun light on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. 

Because I wanted to write this in the true context of what Jesus meant when He acknowledges that people of Smyrna were in poverty, but then says, "but thou art rich." I am going to touch on history a bit, even though I said I wouldn't.  Smyrna was a prosperous city, but the true Christians were poor due to refusing to follow the ways of the false Roman religion.  Therefore, they were persecuted and socially excluded so it was difficult for them to prosper.  When Jesus says they are rich, in this case He means they were rich spiritually because they chose to take a stand against the false cults.  May we also always be brave enough to risk even our financial situation rather than compromise our walk with Jesus!  If the only way to make money is to serve a false god (or to make money in a corrupt or dishonest manner), then it is better to be poor rather than lose your soul.  Eternal riches are worth so much more than the temporal ones!

(Mark 8:36) For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 

(Matthew 6:19-21) Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

The message then goes on to call out the blasphemy of those who pretend to be believers but are indeed NOT following the True gospel. Although the term "Jews" is used here, remember we are under a NEW covenant and in this case, Jews can mean anyone who is a True follower of Jesus Christ. (This one link will give you several more to writings on the new covenant: https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2026/06/leviticus-numbers-deuteronomy-jesus.html )

There are plenty of people who pretend to serve the Lord but refuse to give up worldly ways, are only playing the part of a spiritual person to look holy, or are just simply pretending to be a Christian for the sake of fame, power, and positive attention. But make no mistake, you may fool a few or a lot of people, but you can NEVER fool God; He sees all that is in your heart. 

(Mark 7:6-9) 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. Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 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. And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition."

(Matthew 7:22-23) "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." 

There is a lot more I can say on this, but for now, you can view one of my writings on that subject here: https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2026/06/psalm-139-search-me-o-god_060746477.html

(Revelation 2:10) 'Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.'

To apply this to our lives, there will be a time in the very near future where those who refuse to go into hiding during the tribulation (or don't have time to hide) will be persecuted.  Those who faithfully take a stand against the mark of the Beast may be martyred. I am not sure why this verse specifically mentions 10 days, but I do know that all those in the past, present, and future who will die for the sake of the gospel will receive a reward in Heaven for such a sacrifice.   

(Revelation 6:9-11) ...I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held... And white robes were given unto every one of them;

(Revelation 7:13-14) And one of the elders answered, saying unto me, "What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?" And I said unto him, "Sir, thou knowest." And he said to me, "These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb."

Sorry for so many links, but here is just one more on advice on how to survive if we follow Biblical instruction: https://thankful-julie.blogspot.com/2025/10/theres-hope-for-all-who-follow.html

(Revelation 2:11) 'He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.'"

As I mentioned in part 1, Jesus wants all of us to hear these messages.  When we overcome living in the dark sins of life and choose the Light of Jesus, we will be spared the death of hell.

The Black Horse of the Economic Apocalypse

 

Due to Trump's tariffs and wars, the world's economies are in dire straits. In the next few years, it is going to get a lot worse. Groceries, gas, water, electricity, as well as real estate, are already unaffordable for most.

Trump is asking for 1.5 trillion dollars to build up the military, as well as to build new missiles, and advanced nuclear bombs. History has proven that when a nation spends money on weapons, it intends to use them. Obviously, this military buildup is for offensive warfare.

Trump has recently said several times now, that we can't afford Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, or daycare services, because we are involved in wars. He doesn't care about the welfare of the American people because he is fixated on himself, and his desires. Trump is a man of war and conquest. He needs his military parades, Triumphant Arch, golden statues of himself, as well as a ballroom in the White House.

In the recent past Trump said," Let the poor children starve." Sadly, he meant it.

Rev 6:5 And when he had opened the third seal, I heard the third beast say, Come and see. And I beheld, and lo a black horse; and he that sat on him had a pair of balances in his hand.

6 And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts say, A measure of wheat for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny; and see thou hurt not the oil and the wine.

Trump revives “God Made Trump” message at Republican convention in Dallas

Trump revives “God Made Trump” message at Republican convention in Dallas

Donald Trump’s religiously framed political messaging returned to the spotlight at the Republican midterm convention in Dallas on September 10, 2026. A video presented at the American Airlines Center suggested that “God made Trump” for the current political moment, portraying him through explicitly religious imagery and language. Trump had also resurfaced the video on Truth Social shortly before the convention. Within the video, messianic terminology is used. The video states: He is a shepherd that will never leave us, nor forsake us, God made Trump. This is a passage from the Bible about the Lord Jesus Christ.

The presentation continues a broader pattern of Trump-centered religious messaging. Earlier statements and campaign material have included his 2019 “chosen one” comment, his 2025 claim that God saved him for a purpose, and his comments connecting peace efforts with reaching heaven. Those earlier episodes provide context, but the current news development is the renewed use of the “God Made Trump” message during the 2026 midterm campaign.

Many people worship Trump as the American Messiah. They consider him to be chosen by God to usher in a golden age for America. Donald Trump is a sexual predator who has been mentioned in the Epstein files over 300,000 times. He is a very vile man, as well as a convicted felon. God has allowed him to have a mouth that speaks blasphemies. Trump is the Little Horn of Daniel who magnifies and worships himself above all that is called God. Trump is the Lawless One, also known as the Beast, or Antichrist.

Revelation 13:4 And they worshipped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshipped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him? 5 And there was given unto him a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies; and power was given unto him to continue forty and two months.

A Warning from God: Christians Stop the Fighting on Facebook

 The Lord gave me a long dream, and the message remained after I was awake and in the Spirit. The Lord is very displeased with the Facebook Christian groups and pages. Non-Christians are watching all of the fighting, arguing, name calling, belittling, religious and doctrinal war going on.

 This flesh fest of those who claim to be Christians is pushing people away from Christ and salvation. The world is watching the consistent strife of those who claim to know the truth. Many claim to be contending for the faith through discussions. However, most are not civil, and act like spoiled, rude, children. People feel the need to attack one another over anything and everything.

There was a time when people respected their elders and especially the clergy. Those times are gone. I'm a 61-year-old minister. People aware of this have treated me worse than a felon in some of these groups. I have had people use profanity toward me, while telling me that I was going to Hell. I no longer participate in online groups or pages.

The Lord gave me a dream in the past to avoid these groups. I dreamed that a friend and I were standing up to our waist in muddy water that stank. I took a drink of the water and spit it out, and said, "This is nasty, let's get out"!

In another dream, I was dressed as a police officer, and an angel of the Lord was also dressed as a police officer. The angel said to me, "There was a time when we were respected, but not anymore". The police uniforms that the angel and I were wearing were symbolic of spiritual authority. There is little fear of the Lord, or respect for his ministers left.

Remember people are watching us. We need to be a reflection of our Lord Jesus Christ, in all we say and do.

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also that in the last days perilous times shall come. 2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, 3 Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, 4 Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; 5 Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

The Lord Spoke: "Mobilization in Months "

 

Today, the Lord spoke to me and said, "Mobilization in Months." A couple of weeks ago the Lord said, "Troops are going in." The Lord also said, "They are going in to seize it and take control." We need to be in serious prayer concerning the Iran war, as well as a future conflict with Venezuela.

I don't know if the coming mobilization of the military will include a draft, but I believe that is a high probability. Iran has mobilized over one million troops in preparation for a possible land invasion. Iran has a population of over 90 million people, and it would be impossible to occupy it without conscription of US citizens.

The Lord speaks to me on his terms and does not answer all of my many questions. As we get closer to that time, the Lord will most likely speak more on this. I don't know if they will be planning a full occupation, or partial. However, we need to be in prayer about this.

There are many cyber-attacks originating from Iran, as well as China, against our water and energy infrastructure. It is a good idea to stockpile water, canned and dry foods, batteries, flashlights, blankets, as well as a go backpack. The US government also recommends that people prepare for possible long-term power outages. Please take this seriously!

Signs and Wonders Without Fruit or Character is the Devil's Playground

 

(Charismatic Witchcraft in the Churches)

An unholy spirit has replaced God's Holy Spirit in many Charismatic churches. Because of unsound doctrine, loose living, leadership living in sin, irreverent worship music and dancing, God has withdrawn His Spirit and Satan has moved in. The spirit of witchcraft is the antitheses of the Holy Spirit. Witchcraft is a counterfeit demonic spirit that produces false visions, dreams, as well as magic (false miracles and illusions). Witchcraft is a spirit of rebellion and control.

 The true gifts of the Holy Spirit are present in churches that preach, teach, as well as live in HOLINESS. An unfaithful bride is living in spiritual adultery, and this is rebellion. 

A number of years ago, the Lord spoke to me in an audible voice, he said, “Ichabod!  It bears worth repeating, Ichabod!” I asked the Lord what he meant, and he replied, “The churches are dead.” I said, “Surely you have a few that are not dead?” and he replied, “I have a few.” The word Ichabod means, the glory has departed (1 Samuel 4:21,22). God’s Word teaches that before the coming of the Lord there will be a great falling away (apostasy). 2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for [that Day will not come] unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition.

A number of years ago, the Lord showed me that many churches are an unfaithful bride, and he said, “Divorce.” The Lord made it very clear that spiritual unfaithfulness to Christ without true repentance, will lead to spiritual death (divorce). The Lord spoke to me in an audible voice and said, “I am warning my children to get out!” This word was followed by a dream. I dreamed that I was in a convenience store and that nothing worked right, the gas pumps, food machines, as well as everything else within the store was malfunctioning. I then noticed that the lid was off the drink machine, and it was almost empty; there were also three, half-eaten bags of Fritos in the drink. I said, “This is nasty,” I then removed the drink machine and put it in the trash outdoors. Then an older man walked into the store, and he said that nothing worked right. The angel of the Lord then answered him and said, “The authorities are on their way.” I then saw hundreds of Law enforcement vehicles with lights flashing descending from Heaven in the sky above. 

  The convenience store in my dream was symbolic of the churches who are serving up spiritual junk food. The almost empty drink machine, with three half-eaten bags of Fritos in it, is the greasy grace doctrine (Grace without true repentance) taught by most churches. The gas pumps that do not work are symbolic of an unholy spirit, which has replaced God’s Holy Spirit. It is essential that we be filled with the Holy Spirit to have the power to live a faithful life to Christ. Working gas pumps are symbolic of churches that teach people the necessity of being filled with God's true Holy Spirit, as well as sound doctrine.

There are many counterfeit revivals producing demonic manifestations occurring worldwide. The Toronto blessing, Pensacola outpouring, Lakeland revival, Kansas City IHOP, Bethel Church in Redding Ca, Hillsong church etc. are but a few examples. False ministries to avoid, Rodney Howard Brown, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Trinity Broadcasting Network, Creflo Dollar, Jesse Duplantis, Joyce Meyers, Paula White, as well as all other prosperity gospel preachers, and those that teach the unconditional eternal security doctrine. The New Apostolic Reformation preachers are also heretical, as well as of a false spirit.

Within these counterfeit revivals God’s Holy Spirit has been replaced by demonic manifestations. People are laughing uncontrollably, as well as making all different animal sounds. They are hissing like snakes, mooing like cows, roaring like lions, howling like wolves, as well as barking like dogs. These same manifestations occur within Kundalini Hinduism, as well as other forms of occultism. In a congregation in Boston, the pastor crawled on his hands and knees like a dog, barking, and his wife led him around on a leash fastened to a dog collar around his neck. The wife then said, “Where he leads, I will follow!”

People also claim to be drunk in the spirit; they display symptoms of physical drunkenness. After leaving one of these revivals in Florida, numerous people were pulled over by law enforcement officers for drunk driving. They all passed their breathalyzer tests, because they were made drunk by an unholy spirit. God’s Word is clear that God hates drunkenness, and no drunkard will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Satan is the lawless one, and he is making a mockery of God, within these revivals. After leaving this flesh fest, people were also seen displaying drunk behavior in local restaurants. They were falling on the floor in the restaurants, laughing hysterically. God is a God of order, and not foolishness. God will not make a person drive drunk or embarrass them in public. Where is the discernment? Why can’t Christians see that an unholy demonic spirit, is at work in their churches?

In some, so-called Christian rock concerts, many of the young people are going into trances, where they display tribal dancing. These are but a few of the demonic manifestations going on worldwide. The late pastor David Wilkerson warned the church about this invasion of demonic activity, as well as the need to return to holiness preaching, but most will not listen. It is time for the church to start using discernment and realize that something has gone wrong. God is withdrawing his Spirit from many churches, because they will not endure sound doctrine. If the churches will return to teaching and living in holiness once again, then maybe God’s Spirit will return!

Many of the leaders of these false revivals have been caught in adultery, as well as homosexual relations. I believe that in many cases physical perversion is a manifestation of spiritual perversion. The false prophet Todd Bently from Florida who led the well-known Lakeland revival, has a tattoo of a Japanese goddess on his arm. He claims that this goddess is really an angel by the name of Emma who accompanies him during his kicking sessions at his so-called revival. He claims that Emma has instructed him to hit or kick people in need of healing, as an act of obedience. The revival was shut down when it was revealed that he was having an affair during the entire time of this revival. This wolf in sheep’s clothing, divorced his wife and married his mistress. Now he is back at it again. A false prophet from Kansas City, claims that this same angel Emma came floating into his church to usher in their false revival. His church later removed him from his ministry position due to sexual misconduct with church members. Another false prophet from his church admitted to being a practicing homosexual. I could go on and on with examples of how perverted these revivalists are, but this should suffice.

Many of the television evangelists, as well as mega-church leaders, have also had their share of scandals. Benny Hinn has much darkness surrounding him. Channel six news from Orlando featured an expose on this minister. They showed on film a group of men sitting at a table together, and the evangelist handed a bong to his lead singer, as well as another man at the table. Both of these men smoked the bong. One of the men who smoked the bong, died later from a heroin overdose. While this married evangelist was in Rome, he was filmed walking and holding hands with television evangelist Paula White, who was wearing very short shorts. They both admitted to a friendship when the pictures were released but denied their obvious affair. In spite of this wickedness, their supporters chose to forgive them. If Christians would wake up and stop supporting these apostate ministers, they would shut them down overnight. God’s anointing is not on these reprobates, who use God for dishonest gain. Hell will be full of those who fleece the flock.

The Lord gave me a vision of over a dozen faces of television evangelists and mega-church pastors. Their images were spread out across my sight in this high-definition vision. The Lord spoke to me, "The apostasy runs deep, warn those in front of you and behind you!" For over thirty years I have been warning people about the apostasy, as well as the counterfeit revivals with demonic manifestations.

 Babylon is a term which means," wickedness". Mystery Babylon is the mother of all Harlots who rides on the back of the Beast. This is a reference to the Roman Catholic Church and her offspring. Her offspring are churches which will not endure sound doctrine, as well as Christians who are not faithful to Christ. Christians who live a compromised lifestyle are committing spiritual adultery. Salvation is a free gift of Grace which can never be earned through our works. God gives us grace to grow in him. However, we need to be filled with his Holy Spirit in order to live a Holy (set apart) life. There are many saved by Grace within the churches of Babylon, but Rev 18 tells us to come out of her!

 Rev 18:4 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. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.

 A lukewarm church will be vomited out of God's mouth (Rev 3). We must press forward and grow in our faith. Study God's Word, scripture is protein! 

Many Christians are afraid of supernatural experiences because of the demonic manifestations. However, we need to allow God’s true gifts to be in operation within the church. It is not good to quench God’s Spirit, or to be afraid of it. For God does give visions, dreams, work miracles, heal the sick etc. (1 Cor 12). It is crucial that we pray over experiences, as well as use sound judgment. The reason for this unholy spirit which has invaded the church is loose living, as well as unsound doctrine.

(1 John 2: 3-6) And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments. He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily is the love of God perfected: hereby know we that we are in him. He that saith he abideth in him ought himself also so to walk, even as he walked.

John 8:11-12 KJV - She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

Luke 13:27 KJV - But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

John 8:34-35 KJV - Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever.

Romans 6:16 NKJV - Do you not know that to whom you present yourselves slaves to obey, you are that one’s slaves whom you obey, whether of sin leading to death, or of obedience leading to righteousness?

2 Timothy 2:19 NKJV - Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal: “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.”

1 John 3:6 NKJV - Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.

1 John 3:9 NKJV - Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God.

Israel is Building Gallows with Viewing Booths to Hang Palestinian Prisoners in Public Executions

 

Itamar Ben-Gvir is the Minister of National Security for Israel. He is a very sadistic and wicked man. He is building gallows with viewing booths to hang Palestinian prisoners from and encouraging people to come and watch the public executions.

He also brags about bulldozing thousands of Palestinian homes down. Palestinian Christians have also been targeted by this evil government. Christian churches and homes have been bombed intentionally. The war crimes against humanity never cease.

Today, it was announced in Israel that money is to be withheld from all Christian schools in Jerusalem. Classes are not able to begin for Christian students. Hate is strong in that country, but the love of Christ is stronger. The antichrist spirit reigns in Israel for now.

However, when Christ returns and splits the Mount of Olives a remnant will flee to him for salvation.

In a dream, the Father appeared to me in the form of a Palestinian Christian man I once knew, and he showed me that they are his creation and their lives are very valuable to him, and I should speak out on their behalf. 

Blasphemous Quotes Made by Leading Prosperity Gospel Charlatans

 

Read these blasphemous quotes made by these leading prosperity gospel charlatans. Copeland claims to be God. He says the Word has become flesh in me. Jesse Duplantis said, "Give money the way God commanded will speed up Jesus second coming." Benny Hinn claims to be a walking messiah.

Mark and avoid these satanic heretics. They are not of God's Spirit; they are self-worshipping, money driven wolves! Kenneth Copeland has over one billion dollars that he has fleeced from the flock.

Political Christianity Denies the Teachings of Christ

 

I would love to see the Ten Commandments posted in every classroom, as well as a Bible placed in the hands of every student. However, the MAGA version of Christian Nationalism is the core movement of the Antichrist himself. This fake version of Christianity is based off of white supremist ideology and is morally bankrupt. The poor, disabled, sick, widowed, as well as many children are crushed beneath the feet of the rich and powerful, and they are viewed with scorn due of their social status.

Millions have lost their food stamp benefits and millions are going to lose their Medicaid health insurance in January 2027. Seniors, as well as the disabled, are going to lose many of their Medicare Advantage Plan benefits as well. Free, or reduced price, school lunch programs have been stopped by the government altogether. Federal money has also ceased to flow to all food banks in America. Our local Salvation Army used to be open once a week, now they are only open once a month. The White House doesn't need a ballroom, and Trump doesn't need his Triumphant Arch, or a military parade. Americans need to eat, as well as pay their rent or mortgages. 

 Donald Trump is trying to get Congress to agree to spending 1.5 trillion taxpayer dollars on the Military War Machine. Due to Trump's Illegal Wars and Tariffs, food, gas, real estate, as well as all commodities are skyrocketing in price. Yet his MAGA cult follows him to their death, while denying the teachings of Christ. The Great Falling AWAY unto Trump the Lawless One is here.

Legal immigrants, illegal migrants, foreign students, asylum seekers, as well as visitors to America are being abducted off the streets and placed in concentration camps by the would-be dictator in the White House. ICE is Trump's Gestapo. These masked agents of the oppressive regime in Washington are poorly trained, as well as brutal and sadistic.

ICE detention facilities are very inhumane. Thousands of People are packed into cramped living areas (cages). Loud, unsanitary quarters crawling with insects. Food so scarce that detainees steal from each other just to eat. Disease spreading through filthy rooms, showers, and restrooms that go uncleaned. People losing weight. People unable to see a doctor. People losing their minds.

If you support Trump, you have blood on your hands that you need to repent of. Trump is a MAN of WAR. The attack upon Iran was unjustified, as well as illegal. Water treatment plants, power grids, hospitals, schools, and bridges have been destroyed. The worst is yet to come. Trump has also made threats of aggression against Cuba, Venezuela, Canada, and Greenland. The bully in the White House does not like to be told no.

God does not support the marriage between the church and the Republican Party. The Lord gave me a dream about a wedding cake that resembled a church and told me to warn his children not to eat of it. The cake was in honor of the marriage between the church and the GOP. The Democratic Party embraces liberalism, abortion, sexual perversions, and Christians should not support it either. As a conservative Christian I cannot support either of these corrupt political parties.

Matt 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
