I am dedicated to warning people about current trends within Christianity which lead believers and

non believers away from the truth of Godrsquos Word to warning people to preserve the integrity of the

gospel in their churches and homes

I realize this article is long However it may well bring you to a fuller understanding of what is

spiritually happening in the many strange movements that have captured many churches It is worth

reading May God bless you as you keep serving Jesus until he returns

SATANrsquoS AT WAR WITH THE SAINTS

Page -2-

The great patriot of Americarsquos War for Independence Patrick Henry said ldquoBad men

cannot make good citizens It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation

of free men It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains A vitiated state of morals

a corrupt public conscience are incompatible with freedomrdquo

They want to build a New World Order of world brotherhood New Age of eastern meditation and

Humanism are not strangers but relatives - sharing some bonds rejecting others Both are anti-Christian

and a part of the New World Order Remember Satan uses human agents of change to accomplish is

goals of world dominion

RENEWED MINDS

Sadly Christians are falling into the traps of Satan through their trust of wealthy prominent

religious men and women who no longer preach Jesus Christ or the Bible In these last days many

Christians have not had their mind renewed through the Word of God They have not been sanctified

through the washing of the blood of Jesus Their faith centers around Christian icons instead of Jesus

Christ and His purpose of giving them salvation to enter into His Kingdom He never taught us to seek a

kingdom on this earth that is calling all religions to come into religious unity

So many in the Christian Church have become cold and lukewarm They have given their minds

over to forms of Better Homes and Garden and Disney World Christianity and lifestyles that are just

seeking after material things and emotional experiences Jesus is rarely preached (Rom 1017) ldquoSo then

faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of Godrdquo

If you are listening to preaching that is all about the minister his or her family experiences or you

giving to them so that you can get some money to increase your depleted bank account These preachers

are living sumptuously like kings and queens in multi-million dollar homes while you sit overwhelmed

by debt Irsquom telling you that you are NOT listening to the real gospel Repent for seeking after the

Father as a sugar daddy instead of the God that sent His Divine Son Jesus to save you from your sins

Rededicate your life to Jesus and ask Him where you can go to receive the true Gospel

The Bible warns ldquoAnd 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 Godrdquo (Rom

122)

ANTICHRIST SPIRIT WORKS IN YOUR MIND

Many are no longer teaching the Word of God with Jesus Christ as the center of the Gospel It is

the Word of God that renews the mind and brings faith (Acts 1711-12) ldquoThese were more noble than

those in Thessalonica in that they received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the

scriptures daily whether those things were so 12 Therefore many of them believed also of honourable

women which were Greeks and of men not a fewrdquo

Your state of mind will decide where you spend eternity (Phil 25) Let this mind be in you which

was also in Christ Jesusrdquo

(Col 218) ldquoLet no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of

angels intruding into those things which he hath not seen vainly puffed up by his fleshly mindrdquo

(2 Thess 22-4) ldquoThat ye be not soon shaken in mind or be troubled neither by spirit nor by

word nor by letter as from us as that the day of Christ is at hand 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

Page -3-

revealed the son of perdition 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God or that

is worshiped so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God shewing himself that he is Godrdquo

The antichrist spirit works in the mind The Holy Spirit works in your spirit People are being

led into a new type of Christianity that works by the power men and women through teaching by the flesh

and emotions Some are using bewitching spirits to brainwash and control the people They use the spirit

of mesmerizing the people to produce an altered state of consciousness which puts the person

practicing them into direct contact with the spirit world and opens them up to possession by demons 1

Working through mass hypnotizing techniques people are being held spell bound by the spirit of

idolatry by worshiping ldquoChristian starsrdquo The Devil does not care what or whom you may worship as long

as you do not worship the truth of Jesus that He is the only way back to God or read His real gospel and

follow after the true Spirit of God When you follow a person or a man instead of the Word of God and

Jesus you may well find yourself being controlled by a man-made system then you may well loose your

soul






Peoplersquos minds are in a state of confusion because they hear so many voices teaching so many lies

and reading so many new perversions of the Bible Jesus is not being preached Only what I call the

gospel of me you and I Worldly spirits have taken over large parts of the Christian church The spirits

of seduction delusion and unbelief are ruling People are in spiritual trouble while dancing singing and

praising the Lord and languishing in sins of watching evil movies and television pornography

fornication lying cheating etc

No the Christian mind is not being renewed and is still under the curse and deceptions of the

world system and knows nothing about the spiritual war we are in His mind still belongs to Satan

Indeed much of this warfare is beyond manrsquos ability to see and influence except through prayer and even

then only as Godrsquos Spirit gives revelation into the spiritual world This is a war and in any war there are

casualties on both sides However in this war Man has a very special protection from his redeemer An

interesting passage of scripture shows how God protects his people and how a great spiritual army rides

with those who do Godrsquos will 2

(Eph 423-24) ldquoAnd be renewed in the spirit of your mind 24 And that ye put on the new man

which after God is created in righteousness and true holinessrdquo

(Eph 424) [Put on the new man] Get a new nature for in Christ Jesus-under the Christian

dispensation neither circumcision avails anything nor uncircumcision but a new creation Therefore ye

must be renewed in the spirit of your mind

[Which after God is created in righteousness] Here is certainly an allusion to the erection of

man Moses tells us (Gen 127) that God created man in his own image that is God was the model

according to which he was formed in the spirit of his mind Paul says here that they should put on the

new man which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness or hosioteeti tees aleetheias in

the holiness of truth Both certainly refer to the same thing and the one illustrates the other From the

apostle we learn what Moses meant by the image of God it was righteousness and the truth of holiness

Page -4-

(See the note at Gen126) It is not this or the other degree of moral good which the soul is to receive by

Jesus Christ It is the whole image of God it is to be formed kata Theon according to God the likeness

of the Divine Being is to be traced upon his soul and he is to bear that as fully as his first father Adam

bore it in the beginning 3

SPIRIT OF FALSE PROPHETS ~ Purpose Driven Error

The apostle Paul speaks of two dreadful events that will occur just prior to Jesusrsquo return First

Paul reveals that in the last day there will be a falling away from the faith of the church Second he

warns that an evil spirit of Antichrist will overtake many believers who are turning away who will follow

doctrines of devils

The New Testament clearly warns us to be discerning Christians Paul was very explicit in his

writing to Timothy about the seduction of Godrsquos people He knew that many would be deceived because

there would be many who would have ldquoitching earsrdquo and only want to hear things that would make them

feel good A characteristic of people with itching ears is they always seek after new revelations but God

expects his ministers to stand firm upon the Word and ldquoreprove rebuke exhort with long sufferingrdquo and

sound doctrine Paul continually urged Timothy to stay on the right path and instruct his converts as Paul

had taught him The minister simply cannot let the people who are under his charge shape him into what

they want him to be Godrsquos minister must be submitted to Him and preach the Word because a part of the

Bible preached without the whole counsel of the Word of God is dangerous perverted the Christian faith

because the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is not being preached

Paul warned of this departure from the true faith when he wrote that in the last days false

prophets would infiltrate the church preaching another gospel and another Jesus Many such false

prophets have already appeared to preach the gospel of the Antichrist ldquoFor the mystery of iniquity doth

already work only he who now letteth will let until he be taken out of the wayrdquo (2 Thess 27)

THE MYSTERY OF BABYLON

The spirit of the Antichrist has been at work in the world since the Resurrection of Christ

His main business is to defame defeat and destroy the purity power and purpose of Christ His

personal appearance will come in the seed of the Serpent at the beginning of the Tribulation after

the Saints are raptured to Glory It is the belief of this writer that we are on the brink of this

glorious eventThe Antichrist spirit is defiling the hearts of many apostates Christians even now They are

blinded by the desires of living in a materialistic world John writes ldquoLove not the world neither the

things that are in the world If any man love the world the love of the Father is not in him For all that is

in the world the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the pride of life is not of the Father but is

of the world Little children it is the last time and as we have heard that Antichrist shall come even

now are there many Antichrists whereby we know that is the last timerdquo (I Jn 215-18) John is

admonishing Christians that those who continue to extremely regard the things of this world above their

love of Jesus have opened themselves to the spirit of Antichrist

The Bible testifies to Jesus Christ who alone grants eternal life (Jn 539) says ldquoYou diligently

study the Scriptures because you think that by them you possess eternal life These are the Scriptures that

testify about me yet you refuse to come to me to have liferdquo

SPIRITUAL REALM IS REAL

Christianity is not a religion of the mind It is spiritual relationship with Jesus Christ our Savior

He is sitting at the right hand of our Father giving His power to usward who believe Read the entire first

chapter of Ephesians (Look at Eph 118-23)

18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of his

calling and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints

19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe according to the

working of his mighty power

20 Which he wrought in Christ when he raised him from the dead and set him at his own right

hand in the heavenly places

21 Far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named

not only in this world but also in that which is to come

22 And hath put all things under his feet and gave him to be the head over all things to the church

23 Which is his body the fulness of him that filleth all in allrdquo

The Old Testament gives many references of the supernatural power of Jehovah ldquoAnd Elisha

prayed and said LORD I pray thee open his eyes that he may see And the LORD opened the eyes of

the young man and he saw and behold the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire round

about Elisha And when they came down to him Elisha prayed unto the LORD and said Smite this

people I pray thee with blindness And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elishardquo

(2Ki 617-18)

This is a fascinating piece of scripture God had an army of spiritual lsquomilitary hardwarersquo around

Elisha and he could not be harmed The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him

and delivereth them (Psa 347)

My prayer is that the church will open her spiritual eyes to see the times and seasons in which she

finds herself The modern made-made doctrines have its eyes fixed on the world the flesh and emotions

of its people See what Jesus says is the goal of His Church (Acts 17-8) ldquoAnd he said unto them It is

not for you to know the times or the seasons which the Father hath put in his own power 8 But ye shall

receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in

Jerusalem and in all Judaea and in Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earthrdquo

SEEKING MEGA CHURCHES

We are not to seek after mega churches that are being filled with unbelievers being driven by

New Age change agents that are experimenting with the souls of the people Planned Satanic spiritual

suicide will destroy billions by men who are walking in the darkness of their minds What does Jesus say

about the phony Peace Plan of Rick Warren

Page -6-

Jesus is calling you to separate yourselves from the phoney religious system of everyone will go to

heaven without Jesus Christ as the only way back to the Father All religious pathways do not lead back

to God These made-made doctrines with you down the pathway to Hell Jesus is calling you to separate

yourself from the world and worldly oriented Christian leaders who are forming a New Age religious

system pleasing to the god of this world Satan

Look at what the Scriptures tell us in (Matt 1031-11)

31 Fear ye not therefore ye are of more value than many sparrows

32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men him will I confess also before my Father

which is in heaven

33 But whosoever shall deny me before men him will I also deny before my Father which is in

heaven

34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth I came not to send peace but a sword

35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father and the daughter against her mother

and the daughter in law against her mother in law

36 And a mans foes shall be they of his own household

37 He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me and he that loveth son or

daughter more than me is not worthy of me

38 And he that taketh not his cross and followeth after me is not worthy of me

39 He that findeth his life shall lose it and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it

40 He that receiveth you receiveth me and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me

41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophets reward and he

that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous mans reward

42 And whosoever shall give to drink unto one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the

name of a disciple verily I say unto you he shall in no wise lose his rewardrdquo

Jesus is calling you to separate yourself from this ugly man-made system of New Age religious

unity and let Jesus prepare you as His Bride of Christ

(Jn 423-24) ldquoBut the hour cometh and now is when the true worshippers shall worship the

Father in spirit and in truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him 24 God is a Spirit and

they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truthrdquo

COUNTERFEIT RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCES

Author Dave Hunt sums it up when he wrote about the nearness of the appearance of the

Antichrist ldquoThe most convincing evidence that the awesome climax is near is the seduction of

Christianity by the Lie dressed in Biblical language This is something new The very lie that we

have explained in detail which is at the heart of the New Age Movement is also seducing

Catholic Protestant Liberal and Evangelical alike on a scale as never beforerdquo4

Having said all of this it is this authorsrsquo years of research that has led him to conclude that there is

a very small group of extremely powerful and wealthy men and increasingly women who are involved

in Pagan and Satanic Rituals and are hellbent on subverting the nation into Lucifers service They have

largely succeeded By removing God from public life and making Biblical New Testament Christianity

Page -7-

and Christianity alone a pariah religion one can see the real identity of the forces behind the trends in

American Society It is as though the society is deliberately finding ways of rejecting Christ and

embracing witchcraft This can be seen in

The rise of homosexuality

The popularity of Harry Potter witchcraft book series

The corruption of the financial system

The false Christianity of our political leadership and its concomitant membership in

satanic organizations

The violence of American society and entertainment even among children

The use of high days of witchcraft in the American Government to implement key

policies

The rise of death cults that advocate lsquothe right to diersquo issue and killing those humans who

cost too much money to keep alive (the exact same thing was done in Nazi Germany)

The increasing acceptance of pornography and perversions and increasing child

molestation

The legalization of mass murder in the form of abortion 5

FANTASY WITCHCRAFT Time Warner movie Lord of the Rings And Disney World

movie The Chronicles of Narnia The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe 6

This is the real deal in America It is a deeply occult nation and wears its rebellion against Jesus

Christ as a badge of honor Shall not God deal with this nation over these matters 7

THE MIND AND UNSEEN STRONGHOLDS

Mind Control which is witchcraft used by New Age change agents that are working in the church

use the terminology of REINVENTING THE CHURCH (I rather like the Church that Jesus Christ

invented) The Bibles warns ldquoBeware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit after

the tradition of men after the rudiments of the world and not after Christ For in him dwelleth all the

fulness of the Godhead bodily And ye are complete in him which is the head of all principality and

powerrdquo (Col 28-10)

The worldsrsquo ideas and philosophies are designed to lead men away from the truth of Christ and his

bodily resurrection into man-made doctrines Man does not know that he has been redeemed and that the

price has been paid already It is the Devils job to keep men from discovering this and he will go to every

length to keep men from believing the gospel which signifies the doom of the kingdom of darkness and

those who are in it The Bible goes on to show that Jesus has already defeated the Devilrsquos power if we

receive Him ldquoBlotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us which was contrary to us

and took it out of the way nailing it to his cross [And] having spoiled principalities and powers he made

a shew of them openly triumphing over them in itrdquo (Col 214-15) These powers are already defeated

However there are evil men working as leaders in the visible Church that are operating as change

agents over the minds over the minds of Godrsquos people If they find Christians that disagree with them

they simply kick them out the church

Bill Liniewicz and his family can no longer share in the fellowship at Chain of Lakes Community

Bible Church (CLCBC) in Illinois Like other members who questioned the new church management he

has been banned from the communion table By declining a series of counseling sessions and by failing

to attend a Solemn Assembly -- a special congregational meeting for the purpose of public confession

brokenness reconciliation and healing -- he supposedly proved his unwillingness to submit to his

spiritual authorities Theres only one way that insubordinate people like Bill would be welcomed back

into fellowship they must follow the steps to reconciliation determined by the new interim pastor 8

For Bill reconciliation would mean compromise for he could neither trust the new leadership nor

agree with the proposed program And disagreement was apparently unacceptable to the new leadership

As Jim Van Yperen the intentional interim pastor would soon teach Theres not a lot of things you

have permission to disagree about9

What then was Bills initial sin During one of many adult group forums held to introduce and

discuss the new church agenda he had shared his lack of peace called for spiritual discernment and

asked some challenging questions about the psychological strategies that might be used to produce

change He had reasons to be concerned 10

It all began with some unresolved issues in the church The last senior pastor had left and CLCBC

continued to struggle with disunity The old-timers still saw Bible teaching as the main focus while

others preferred the feel-good relational church growth approach to doing church When the assistant

pastor suggested outside consultation the board agreed It soon met with Metanoia Ministries headed by

Van Yperen His team assessed the congregation presented a diagnosis and proposed a solution

Metanoia is a favorite word of the Theosophists In the same manner that other New Agers such as

Willis Harman and Leonard Sweet used it

According to former New Ager Warren Smith he has seen hundreds who have been driven out of

their churches because they would not submit to the lies of the change agents He writes ldquoI knew I was

being spiritually led when I was in the New Age I just didnrsquot know that I was being led by a deceptive

spirit world I didnrsquot even know that there was a deceptive spirit world or that there were such things as

deceptive spirits I didnrsquot realize that deceptive spirits could present themselves as ldquoGodrdquo and ldquoJesusrdquo

and the ldquoHoly Spiritrdquo I didnrsquot know that the Bible warns about these deceptive spirits and tells us to test

the spirits to make sure that we are not being deceived by ldquoanother Jesusrdquo ldquoanother spiritrdquo and ldquoanother

gospelrdquo (1 Jn 41 2 Cor 113-4)

Smith wrote ldquoAs a brand new Christian I had been horrified years ago to find what amounted to

be a New Age book written by a pastor prominently displayed on the shelf of a local Christian

bookstore The book was filled with everything I had just left behind in the New Age Cloaked in

Christian language it encouraged the reader to use guided visualization (now often called ldquovision

castingrdquo) and other metaphysical techniques to gain whatever it was they wanted Pastors were

encouraged to ldquovisualize and dream bigger churchesrdquo or ldquoa new mission fieldrdquo or whatever else they

thought would improve their church and ministryrdquo11

CHANGE AGENTS - PASTORS

For the past 30-40 years there has been a massive undertaking to indoctrinate and train evangelical

Page -9-

pastors and leaders through various entities such as (Leadership Network) and para church organizations

to become change agents for transformation (changing the spiritual life of Christians to

become world religious participants with all religions walking in unity and diversity) This

leadership training even though often done in the guise of servant leader (to make it more palatable)

utilizes corporate business and marketing models For example leaders are trained to develop a12

company vision and then by using sophisticated group marketing techniques persuade the customers

(people in the pews) to buy into this vision This approach is top-down not laity-initiated13

Rick Warren is well known as the pioneer of The Purpose-Driven Church paradigm for church

health More than 250000 pastors and church leaders from over 125 countries have attended

Purpose-Driven Church seminars in 18 languages Peter Drucker calls him the inventor of perpetual

revival Ricks previous book The Purpose-Driven Church has sold over a million copies in 20

languages Winner of the Gold Medallion Ministry Book of the Year it is used as a textbook in most

seminaries and was selected as one of the 100 Christian Books That Changed the 20th Century 14

Notice the reference to Peter Drucker What this legendary management guru began

teaching large corporations decades ago has now been applied to Gods churches as well as to

communities and governments around the world Since the new methods seemed to work

equally well for churches as for corporations -- and since the measured results offer statistical

proof of success -- pastors from countless nations have embraced and implemented

Druckers marketing approach to doing church 15

Much of the subtle power of the new movements theologies and agendas of neo evangelicalism

relies upon this basic fact of human nature (NOT JESUS AND THE BIBLE) The leaders of these

movements have been well-trained in the arts of human manipulation which is pure witchcraft Anytime

you try to control a personrsquos mind it is considered unadulterated witchcraft

This exposure should certainly call the true churchesrsquo intercessions to attention to pray for the

Church of Jesus Christ

ldquoNot everyone that saith unto me Lord Lord shall enter into the kingdom of heaven but he that

doeth the will of my Father which is in heavenrdquo (Mat 721)

HOW TO BUILD A MEGA CHURCH

Many mind molders manipulate and war to control the minds of the masses to bring the New

World Religion The propaganda of mind pollution is winning because only a few are willing to pay the

price of self sacrifice to put their finger in the holes of fast leaking dam of destruction Most of these type

of churches are ldquoplantedrdquo after a survey is taken of the surrounding community The ldquofelt needs of the

community are then compiled and the church is tailored around meeting those needs Two of the most

prominent proponents of this style of church the Rev Bill Hybels founder of Willowcreek Church in So

Barrington IL and Dr Rick Warren founder of Saddleback Valley Community Church in Mission Viejo

CA both readily admit to being influenced by Dr Robert H Schuller founder of the Crystal Cathedral in

Orange CA with regards to their utilization of these community surveys 16

Dr Warren admits to being only interested in meeting the needs of unbelievers in his surveying

when he states ldquoI didnrsquot want to color the survey with believersrsquo opinionsrdquo The question thus arises Is4

it acceptable to pattern a church after the felt needs of unbelievers when the Apostle Paul states that the

function of the church is to perfect and to edify the saints [Eph 411 ndash 12]

Page -10-

Once someone professes faith in Christ and wants to become a member of one of these churches

they are placed on a path of ldquodiscipleshiprdquo Often the path has four stages 101 201 301 and 401

Usually a model consisting of concentric circles or a baseball diamond are utilized Covenants are signed

at each level ndash signing covenants is not Biblical (Matt 5 33 ndash 37) People are required to swear that they

will not gossip [critical evaluation of the programs being implemented in these churches is considered to

be gossip] and to unquestioningly follow the leadership ldquoIf yoursquore helping row the boat you donrsquot have

time to rock itrdquo 17

ldquoSpiritual Gift Assessmentsrdquo are performed which is nothing more than psychological profiling

Proponents Warren Bob Buford (founder of the Leadership Network) and Peter Drucker all believe that

God uses people in their areas of strength so the idea is to identify strengths and then direct people into

appropriate ldquoministriesrdquo

ldquoThe pastor as manager has to identify their strengths and specialization place them and equip

them for service and enable them to work in the harmonious and productive whole known as the body of

Christrdquo18

Church members sign covenants requiring them to participate in small groups (CELL GROUPS)

Small group ldquoBible studiesrdquo are not didactic teaching sessions with an instructor but rather dialectic

ldquofacilitated meetingsrdquo in which solid Biblical absolute truth becomes a casualty

There are a couple of other phenomena that occur in the small groups The first is bonding so that

people feel ldquoplugged-inrdquo to these generally large or mega-churches

ldquoSmall groups are the most effective way of closing the back door of your church says Rick

Warrenrdquo19

Secondly participation in so-called ldquoaccountabilityrdquo groups is often required by the signed

covenants The regular complete confession of all sins to an accountability leader or partner has two

effects First the temporal accountability to another man leads to a shift in the thinking of the confessor

away from the notion that heshe is in the constant presence of God and is accountable to Him and Him

alone to concern about what the accountability partner will think or say about any given thought or

action Secondly there is a brainwashing that occurs with confession leading to submission on the part

of the confessor 20

ldquoSomething intrinsic in communism makes this confession phenomenon indispensable to it it

canrsquot exist without it hellip The meaning in confession then as the Reds now use it is agreement with the

rules laid down and hence submission to the existing hierarchyrdquo

Rick Warren admits that he has used his church as a human research laboratory ldquoSaddleback is

kind of the Research and Development department of the church at large Wersquore not afraid to fail Wersquove

always tried more things that didnrsquot work than did Every once in a while we find ndash usually by accident ndash

something that works Then we teach the seminars and pretend like we planned it all along when really it

was just the result of trial and error ldquo(Laughter) 21

My God This man is experimenting with peoplersquos eternal life and his listeners just laugh You

surely better be prayerful about where you are attending church today As Jesus showed me several years

Page -11-

ago ldquoJust because therersquos a crowd it doesnrsquot mean that I am there in the midst of itrdquo

It is getting down to the fact do I serve Jesus and His Word or do I go to these ldquofeel goodrdquo

leaders who real wish is to control me for Satanrsquos Kingdom

LEADERS ARE CHANGE AGENTS

Another such change agent is Jim Van Yperen who wrote a chapter titled Conflict The Refining

Fire of Leadership for George Barnas book Leaders on Leadership He is a respected change agent

working for the transformation of Christian churches A leader of leaders George Barna tells us in his

book by that title He is a marketing strategist and communications consultant who has worked with a

wide variety of churches parachurch ministries and non profit organizations in the areas of vision

development strategic planning communications resource development and conflict resolution 22

Jim Van Yperen gives us his plan when he writes There is no privacy in the church We are

called together to work out our salvation with fear and trembling Leaders are change agents 2 3

This New Age Movement is being embraced by the many pastors who see and desire to be the next

Joel Osteen type with a mega church in their home towns Preaching ldquofeel goodrdquo messages are paying off

because the people are gathering teachers to tickle their ears They want to appear to be religious but

deny the power of God

As expected the results of Van Yperens surveys interviews and assessments showed serious

conflicts -- or more specifically systemic structural problems The conclusions were presented to the

church body which hired Van Yperen as intentional interim pastor

I invite you into a process where in this church we will practice salvation Van Yperen told the

congregation in his Sunday morning sermon on March 10 2002 We will grow up together to the glory

of Jesus Christ

What does that mean We tend to hear Biblical words through the mental filter of the traditional

church but the new postmodern context changes the old meanings So when the intentional interim

pastor promises to lead a spiritualdiscoverychange process that seeks to understand and to embody

what it means to be the church some might wonder what to expect But as Bill discovered not all24

questions are welcome Yet his continual emphasis of community and change seem to follow the

tracks made by M Scott Peck and other modern visionaries And the change process he uses to resolve

conflict and transform churches resembles the Hegelian dialectic process which is central to the

fast-growing networks of global systems Used in the Soviet Union to mold compliant citizens this

process has been perfected by behavioral psychologists and embraced by schools corporations

governments and other organizations intent on developing people for the envisioned global community

These world citizens would think and act collectively not individually 25

ldquoYe cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils ye cannot be partakers of the Lords

table and of the table of devilsrdquo (1Cor 1021)

NEW AGE TRANSFORMATION

New Age mind control techniques are widely taught in our schools and businesses as self-help

courses ESP Silva Mind Control Yoga Holistic medicine Biofeedback and a multitude of other

techniques have saturated our society The goal of all these techniques is to produce an altered state of

consciousness which puts the person practicing them into direct contact with the spirit world and opens

them up to possession by demons 26

The revolution in curriculum is that we no longer are teaching facts to childrenrsquordquo announced

Dr Shirley McCune in her keynote speech at the 1989 Governors Conference on Education 27

Facts and absolute truth encourage people to think for themselves But in tomorrows managed

communities individual thinking must yield to collective thinking Factual knowledge must be purged

along with biblical truths that enable people to debate argue and resist manipulation

Even math and science facts conflict with the new thinking So in the quest for constant changerdquo

students must learn new math - math without math facts and computation and fuzzy science

based on feelings rather than the facts that would anchor a childs mind to certain unchanging realities

Students who disagree with the planned consensus may face ridicule and intimidation and be

marked uncooperative or at riskrdquo Many are assigned to more intense sensitivity training described by

nice-sounding labels such as conflict resolution and anger managementrdquo Like critical thinking and

other educational euphemisms these labels all point to the dialectic process that molds compliance and

shows little tolerance for biblical truth

Christian children may feel anything but free to express their beliefs and feelings in such a

setting Thats part of the planned intimidation 28

The old Judeo-Christian beliefs dont fit the new beliefs and values designed for global unity The

planned oneness demands new thinking new strategies new behavior and new beliefs that turn29

Gods Word and values upside down Directed group discussion is key to the transformation Professor

Benjamin Bloom called Father of Outcome-based Education summarized it well The purpose of

education and the schools is to change the thoughts feelings and actions of students a large part of30

what we call good teaching is the teachers ability to attain affective objectives through challenging the

students fixed beliefs and getting them to discuss issues This manipulative program doesnt belong in31

the church Yet many Bible studies and other small groups in churches schools and homes across the

country have adopted its rules for dialogue and its dubious approach to common ground It produces an

illusion of unity but the unity is based on submission to the group consensus rather than submission to

God

SPIRITUAL SUBMISSION TO THE GROUP

Reginald Alev executive director of the Cult Awareness Network says Its very sad whats going

on Most of the people who get involved in these New Age Groupsare intelligent altruistic idealistic

He adds They are told they are the master of their own destiny Sort of an Eastern version of Norman

Vincent Peale but they dont know they are being subjected to mind control 32

Van Yperen is a gifted teacher and leader His articulate sermons bring Biblical encouragement

Most of his teaching on love obedience fellowship and submission sounds Biblically sound But some

of it turns sharply off its Biblical course and merges with the postmodern emphasis on group thinking

and social solidarity And his insistence of unqualified submission to the spiritual authority of

shepherd-leaders who interpret and adapt negotiable Scriptures for group discussion should raise

deep concerns For example in his sermon on March 3 he told the congregation that Ninety-five

percent or more of Scripture was written for and to be heard by a people not individuals It was not given

for your personal edification and devotion That is not the primary purpose of Scripture33

ldquoBut the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and whoremongers and

Page -13-

sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and

brimstone which is the second death ldquo(Rev 218)

What is a liar but someone who claims to be something he is not as in someone who claims to

love Christ but refuses to do his commandments

There is no middle ground and there will be no large group of lukewarm professors of Christ in

Heaven who blasphemed his name by their open and willful rebellion No their fate will be with the

unbelievers the rapists the child molesters and the worshipers of devils

For without [are] dogs and sorcerers and whoremongers and murderers and idolaters and

whosoever loveth and maketh a lierdquo (Rev 2215) 34

REMEMBER JESUS WITH ONE LAMB UPON HIS SHOULDERS

Jesus left the flock to go out to save one lamb Some might argue that American churches have

overemphasized the individual at the cost of church fellowship and oneness True or not itrsquos still wrong

to swing the pendulum into the opposite realm -- that of mandatory agreement and unity Throughout

history God has spoken to individuals as well as nations and churches through His Word Forbidding

dissent destroys accountability And discouraging individual Bible study in order to produce community

oneness would only undermine the genuine unity which grows out of each believers personal walk with

Christ God calls each of us to come to Him in a solitary place [see Matt 66] find comfort in His Word

be filled with His life and bring His love to one another

Even so Christians are tempted to let a new group consensus -- facilitated by leaders trained to

manage change -- interpret Scriptures and redefine its values According to Van Yperen

Learning comes through dialogue rather than presentation and this pattern for transformation is fast35

changing churches around the world

These churches are accomplishing is the ldquotransformationrdquo of the minds of the church membership

and leadership to the transformational mode of dealing with factual information Once all people are

involved in diaprax ndash the repeated practice of the Hegelian dialectic process in all sectors of society

(cradle to grave) in parenting classes ready to learn programs education programs(OBE and STW)

police work (DARE) health care business(TQM) religion volunteerism and even retired persons with

lifelong learning then the global goal of unity can be accomplished as all are willing to lay aside their

differences for the sake of the unity of humankind All of the worldrsquos problems can then be solved by

man ndash apart from God This is the goal of the Humanists Peter Drucker and the UN The only people

hindering this utopian goal are those who refuse to lay aside their moral absolutes for the sake of the

world 36

The dialectic process which is vital to communitarianism as it was to communism can build the

appearance of Biblical unity through intimidation manipulation compromise and facilitated consensus

In contrast true unity comes from each believers personal faith in our One Lord As we study His Word

trust His promises and follow His ways we become one We share one hope one goal one blueprint for

victory one source of strength and one Spirit to guide us along the way

Brainwashing blurs the line between fact and distortions between truth and lies Without facts and

Page -14-

absolute truths -- and the mental discipline to cling to those certainties throughout the horrendous

assaults on their minds and bodies -- the POW who faced brainwashing in Asian concentration camps

quickly broke down In contrast the prisoners who knew the absolute certainty of Gods Word were able

to endure and triumph in the midst of terrible oppression

It becomes apparent that George Orwellrsquos vision 1984 was not inaccurate when he described the

goal of the Humanistic state power and the purpose of that power asldquoa boot stamping on a human face

foreverrdquo 37

To understand Humanism picture the octopus His body is socialism His many arms are

feminism humanism lesbianism homosexualism sex education self authority human potential

movement new spirituality evolution situation ethics distorted realism sexual permissiveness anti

biblical bias new age religion anti free enterprise death education One World Government O my

God I am ashamed and blush to lift up my face to thee my God for our iniquities are increased over our

head and our trespass is grown up unto the heavens (Ezra 96)

Actually Gods lone ranger Christians are scattered around the world Many have left the

churches they loved because they couldnt submit to compromising leaders Most have sought Bible

teaching churches in their community but found only shallow feel-good messages stripped of truths that

might offend Some have established house churches while others continue to seek genuine fellowship in

Christ 38

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly nor stands in the path of

sinners nor sits in the seat of the scornful but his delight is in the law of the Lord and in His law he

meditates day and night He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water that brings forth its fruit in

its season (Ps 11-3)

PURPOSE DRIVEN CONFLICTS WITH CALVARY CHAPEL

Rick Warrens promotion of mysticism and his teachings on the end times will keep Purpose

Driven out of Calvary Chapel

Over the past year or so it should have been obvious to anyone listening to messages by Pastor

Chuck Smith Sr that he has expressed serious concerns about the Purpose Driven church growth

movement On numerous occasions he made the point that the Calvary way was not the Purpose Driven

way He made it clear that healthy church growth should be centered on the teaching of the Word of God

and not on methods derived by human effort From the beginning of the Calvary Chapel movement

Chuck has emphasized being ldquospirit ledrdquo rather than being motivated by a humanistic agenda put in place

by church growth experts

Further pastors who attended the nation-wide Calvary Chapel Pastorrsquos Conferences held at

Murrieta California in either 2005 or 2006 would have heard Pastor Chuck explain in detail that Calvary

Chapel pastors are not to be ldquoPurpose Drivenrdquo While there were some in attendance who were leaning

towards Purpose Driven methods Pastor Chuck emphasized Calvary Chapel was not going in that

direction 39

Eschatology

Page -15-

The Calvary Chapel view of the future compared to the ldquoPurpose Drivenrdquo view of the future is as

different as day and night One of the distinctives of the Calvary movement is a focus on the imminent return of Jesus

Christ Pastor Chuck has always been known for an emphasis on warning Christians to be alert and ready for the

return of Jesus He teaches that the Kingdom of God will be established only when Jesus Christ returns to this planet

He also emphasizes that the time period before the return of Jesus here on earth will be ldquoas it was in the days of

Noahrdquo (Matthew 2437) From this perspective the world actually gets worse and worse not better and

betterRick Warrens view of the present and the future is different from Chuck Smithrsquos Warren

encourages his followers to ignore Bible prophecy and spend their time and energy on the here and now

in order to establish a man made social plan (PEACE Plan) that will make planet earth a better place

for everyone With regards to the importance of Bible prophecy Rick Warren has stated

When the disciples wanted to talk about prophecy Jesus quickly switched the conversation to

evangelism He wanted them to concentrate on their mission to the world He said in essence The

details of my return are none of your business What is your business is the mission I have given you

Focus on that

Speculating on the exact timing of Christs return is futile because Jesus said No one knows

about that day or hour not even the angels in heaven nor the Son but only the Father Since Jesus said

he didnt know the day or hour why should you try to figure it out What we do know for sure is this

Jesus will not return until everyone God wants to hear the Good News has heard it Jesus said The

Good News about Gods kingdom will be preached in all the world to every nation Then the end will

come If you want Jesus to come back sooner focus on fulfilling your mission not figuring out

prophecy 40

Further Rick Warrenrsquos Purpose Driven PEACE Plan is part of a plan that is intended to establish the

Kingdom of God here on earth before Jesus returns This Kingdom depends on human effort He is willing to work

with governments (Rwanda [ political leaders (King of Jordan the United Nations (Interreligious41 42

gatherings and even the Roman Catholic Church 43 44

In April of 2005 Rick Warren speaking to 25000 in attendance at Anaheim Stadium encouraged

his Purpose Driven supporters to partner with him to usher in the Kingdom of God on planet earth right

now Quoting from his speech

I stand before you confidently right now and say to you that God is going to use you to change the

world Some will say ldquoThats impossiblerdquo but I heard that line 25 years ago and God took seven people

and started Saddleback Church Now we have a new vision and a whole lot more people to start with

The great evangelist Dwight L Moody said ldquoThe world has yet to see what God can do with a man fully

consecrated to himrdquo Im looking at a stadium full of people who are telling God they will do whatever it

takes to establish Gods Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven 45

THE PLAN

A strong delusion is spreading beyond America and throughout the world The world that rejects

Jesus Christ is waiting for its ldquoavatarrdquo or ldquogod-manrdquo to step on the worldrsquos platform to take the reigns to

bring in the so-called New Age Satan the god of all delusions is hungry for souls He wants you

ldquo This is that spirit of Antichrist whereof ye have heard that it should come and even now

Page -16-

already is in the worldrdquo (I Jn 43) John is saying here ldquoYoursquove heard about the coming of the

Antichrist has been preached and taught and you expect his arrival However beloved wake up because

the spirit of Antichrist is already at workrdquo

Clearly New Agers have an agenda to conquer the Church of Jesus Christ They intend to

infiltrate and permeate every segment of society with their occult notions and they have no plans to go

away They are growing in numbers and have the ears of the very powerful in high places They will

continue their pursuit of spreading their new gospel of deceit until their goal of a new world order has

been achievedmdashand the ldquoproblemsrdquo of Christianity has been eliminated Providentially they will only

succeed for a short time As we will see God has His own plan for unity and it is not the one presented

by these spirit guides (demons) and blinded occultist 46

Alice Bailey in an address at the Arcane School Conference in Geneva Switzerland suggested

that the Shamballa force-the force from the invisible dimensions led by the Lord Maitreya-will be

destructive It will also she said eject unbelievers from the earth The decision to release the Shamballa force

during this century into direct contact with the human kingdom is one of the final and most compelling acts of

preparation for the New Age The Shamballa force is destructive and ejective inspiring new understanding of The

PlanIt is this force which will bring about that tremendous crisis the initiation of the race into the mysteries of

the ages 47

New Age prophetess Alice Bailey teaches that this Shamballa destructive force would promote a crisis

which would lead to the Initiation of the race into the mysteries of the ages (Babylonia religion) is revealing

All who refuse the Luciferic Initiation into the New Age are considered unfit to enter the New Age This will begin a

crisis period as the earth is cleansed and purified (Rev17) speaks about mystery Babylon that had mystery

initiations (witchcraft) The bible addresses this as part of the last empire that raises its fist of defiance against the

God of the universe

The Urantia Book which is 2097-pages of profound new age gobily gook was given by

inspiration of higher intelligences One can learn to invite Thought Adjusters (fallen angels) to dwell

within them These Thought Adjusters allow the individuals Higher Self to experience the new age

presence of God This is just another way of entering the Luciferic initiation which is taught in many

variables It doesnt matter whether one uses the 7 spiritual centers chakras visualization Spirit guides I

am meditation calling on the violet flame astral travel a guru etc As long as they reach the point of

illumination that all is one and receive their mission the goal is reached 48

Guess who the unbelievers are When the Church is removed and they think it is because of the

new age Christ it is only then their plan will take shape for a new world order It was Hitler who spoke of

a thousand year Reich carrying the concept of the biblical Millennium One will have the choice to

accept the New Age Messiah receive the initiation or they will face the other alternative of being

ejected This means destruction This doesnrsquot sound like the love and tolerance we have been hearing

from those who criticize the Christians for teaching there is only one Christ49

This movement is of course intensely anti-Christian and anti-Semitic They call their efforts The

Plan which includes a cleansing action that must take place to remove negative and evil elements from

the world before the New Age of peace can be fully ushered in

Many of the demons speaking through the mediums of this movement around the world are prophesying that

Page -17-

2 billion people must be removed before the year 2000 This did not happen yet Satan is not in control of time and

prophecy Jesus said ldquoonly the Father knows the time of His Return However in the past whenever Satan has

been able to exercise his plan for the world millions of Bible-believers have been put to death

Do not be fooled Jesus Christ is not going to suddenly appear on the earth as a great teacher

The Bible says ldquoFor the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout with the voice of the

archangel and with the trump of God and the dead in Christ shall rise first then we which are alive and

remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we

ever be with the Lordrdquo (IThess 41617)

WE ARE AT WAR

The apocalyptic One World Government totalitarian monstrosity of the future is soon to step upon

the worlds stage to play out the final tragedy of the extinction of personal and religious freedom A new

world where people will be rigidly controlled by big brother The coming world demagogue must appeal

to the spiritual wishes of the masses so he gives his own universal religion a Harlot Church called the

Mystery of Babylon complete with its false prophet and false god

This adulterous religious system is described as a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every

unclean spirit and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird (Revelation 182) And he cried mightily

with a strong voice saying Babylon the great is fallen is fallen and is become the habitation of devils

and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful birdrdquo All nations have drunk of

the wine of the passion of her immorality and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality

with her and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality

(Rev 18-24) describes this cruel heartless religious system upon whose head is written The

mystery of Babylon which refers to the type of demon worship The occult has always been associated

with ancient Babylon This backsliden church will bring Antichrist to power by supporting his system

She is concerned with philosophy behind the state speaking the utopian propaganda and controlling

people The followers will choose humanitarianism medicine science machinery and worldly happiness

in preference to God The value and purpose of human life will be subjected to the state and Antichrist

The forces of the powers of darkness are gathering for the great predicted conflict of the future

between the apostasy of a false religion and the rebellion of open infidelity Satanrsquos lying claim to

invincibility may fool the world but Godrsquos people know God is omnipotent and able to move for His

people We are at war Every believer in Christ is a soldier whether he is effective or not Our task today

is to be actively resisting the powers that struggle for the souls of men The Holy Spirit working through

the church is shown in 11 Thess 2) as the force that hinders the final Antichrist from being revealed

before ldquohis own seasonrdquo

We are certainly in the midst of the ldquogreat falling awayrdquo The Word of God warns ldquoLet 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 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called

God or that is worshiped so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God shewing himself that he is

Godrdquo (2 Thess 23-4) I feel the breath of Jesus Christ at the door

Unfortunately many Christians who once served Jesus Christ are now running after preachers

that are promising them ldquothingsrdquo or ldquoself worthrdquo ldquopeacerdquo and heaven on earth instead of the true Gospel

of Jesus Jesus is truly the picture that is shown in (Rev 320) of standing at the door knocking to come

Page -18-

in He is not the center of many churches today Christian ministersrsquo are sent by God to preach the gospel

and Jesus Jesus is suppose to be the focus of the gospel and His blood sacrifice is the only way back to

God the Father

Take heed that no man deceive yourdquo (Matt 244) Such were the first words of our Lords

reply to inquiry What shall be the sign of Thy coming and of the end of the agerdquo (Matt 243) No

thoughtful Christian can ignore the signs which mark the days in which we live The growth of cynicism

within the churches has surpassed even the gloomiest prediction and side by side with this the expansion

of spiritualism and demon-worship has been shocking The advance of infidelity has already been

systematized into a religion with a recognized creed and cult According Christian theology corruption

which involves alcohol or drug abuse adultery fornication cheating gambling homosexuality murder

rape incest are sinful and other such wicked deeds are making appearances in the church Can we ignore

these signs

We must totally submit to God and actively resist the devil (Jam 47) not only in our personal

lives but on a national and international scale The devil has no power to stop our witness to the world

GOOD NEWS

The good news is that Jesus came to set us free from satanic influences According to (Jn 316)

Jesus really did die for the world God was truly reconciling the world unto Himself in Christ The

decisive battle was won at Calvary The beachhead of victory has been established and the security of

those who trust in Christ is assured for eternal salvation But His own people rejected Him while His

disciples fled (Matt 2656) It even seemed as though God Himself had rejected Him As He hung on the

cross Jesus cried the heartrending words of (Ps 222) ldquoMy God My God why hast thou forsaken merdquo

He died alone unjustly convicted forsaken by his friends seemingly separated from God and a

failure in the eyes of the world The crown of mockery upon his head and his beard torn out by the roots

by nauseating spit upon His face his body beaten beyond recognition the crowd shouting ldquoCrucify him

Crucify himrdquo The nails scarring His hands and feet and the sword piercing his side was these injustices

not disgracefully enough Should we reject Him also Should we follow the trends of the world instead

of Him

MEET THE REAL CHRIST

The Bible says that Christ existed from all eternity with God In (Tit Chapters 13 210 and

34) God is identified as the Savior whereas in (Tit 14 213 and 36) Jesus Christ is identified as

God In (Isa 4311 the Lord says there is no Savior besides Him and in (Acts 48-12) Luke recordsrsquo

Peterrsquos affirmation there is only one Savior and that is Jesus Christ of Nazareth There is either great

contradiction in Scripture or Jesus Christ is God

John the Baptist said ldquo He who comes after me has a higher rank than I for He existed

before merdquo Notice ldquoHe existed before merdquo He is the one wayrdquo (Jer 3239 Acts 412) ldquoHe is the way

of liferdquo (Col 34) ldquoHe is the way of peacerdquo (Eph 214) It pleased God to reveal His Son to merdquo was

Paulrsquos account of his conversion Jesus asserted I am the way and the truth and the life No one comes

to the Father except through merdquo (Jn 146)

Peter was one of the favored three who witnessed every miracle including the transfiguration

and yet his faith was not the result of these but sprang from a revelation from God In response to his

Page -19-

confession ldquoThou art the Christ the Son of the living Godrdquo the Lord declared ldquoFlesh and blood hath

not revealed it unto thee but my Father who is in heavenrdquo (Matt 16 1617)

This special grace was not only accorded to the apostles but also ldquoTo them that have obtained

like precious faith with usrdquo (2 Pet 11) That was Peterrsquos address to the faithful generally He describes

them as ldquoborn again by the Word of Godrdquo (1 Pet 112)

Peter boldly proclaimed that salvation is found in no one else for there is no other name under

heaven given to men by which we must be savedrdquo (Acts 412) Jesusrsquo exclusivity caused him to warn

Watch out that no one deceives you For man will come in my name claiming ltI am the Christrsquo and

will deceive manyrdquo (Matt 24 4-5 cf vs 23-25) It is apparent that Jesus was not one of manyrdquo

enlightened masters He is the Light of the worldrdquo (Jn 812) New Agers typically revere Jesus as a

mere human being who sought godhood (or Christhood) Christians worship Jesus as the eternal God (Jn

11) who became human (Jn 114) and then atoned for our sins at the cross rose from the grave

ascended back to heaven far above all other beings and coming again He is uniquely and eternally

God Receive Him today and Hersquoll return for you also

HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN

ACCEPT GODS WORD THAT HE LOVES YOU AND WANTS TO GIVE YOU AN

ABUNDANT LIFE

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever

believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life (Jn 316) I am come that

they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly (Jn 1010)

ACCEPT GODS WORD THAT YOU ARE A SINNER THAT THIS SEPARATES YOU

FROM GOD--- THAT YOU MUST TRULY REPENT or turn away from sin For all have

sinned and come short of the glory of God (Rom 323) For the wages of sin is death

but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom 6 23) But God

commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us

(Rom 58)

ACCEPT GODS WORD THAT JESUS CHRIST IS OUR ONLY CONTACT WITH GOD

Jesus saith unto him I am the way the truth and the life no man cometh unto the

Father but by me (Jn 146) For there is one God and one mediator between God and

man the man Christ Jesus (1 Tim 25)

RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS SAVIOR AND LORD BY YOUR PERSONAL INVITATION

But as many as received Him to them gave he the power to become the sons of

God(Jn 112) Behold I stand at the door and knock If any man hear my voice and

open the door I WILL COME INTO HIM (Christ speaking in Rev 320)

The great patriot of Americarsquos War for Independence Patrick Henry said ldquoBad men

cannot make good citizens It is impossible that a nation of infidels or idolaters should be a nation

of free men It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains A vitiated state of morals

a corrupt public conscience are incompatible with freedomrdquo

They want to build a New World Order of world brotherhood New Age of eastern meditation and

Humanism are not strangers but relatives - sharing some bonds rejecting others Both are anti-Christian

and a part of the New World Order Remember Satan uses human agents of change to accomplish is

goals of world dominion

RENEWED MINDS

Sadly Christians are falling into the traps of Satan through their trust of wealthy prominent

religious men and women who no longer preach Jesus Christ or the Bible In these last days many

Christians have not had their mind renewed through the Word of God They have not been sanctified

through the washing of the blood of Jesus Their faith centers around Christian icons instead of Jesus

Christ and His purpose of giving them salvation to enter into His Kingdom He never taught us to seek a

kingdom on this earth that is calling all religions to come into religious unity

So many in the Christian Church have become cold and lukewarm They have given their minds

over to forms of Better Homes and Garden and Disney World Christianity and lifestyles that are just

seeking after material things and emotional experiences Jesus is rarely preached (Rom 1017) ldquoSo then

faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the word of Godrdquo

If you are listening to preaching that is all about the minister his or her family experiences or you

giving to them so that you can get some money to increase your depleted bank account These preachers

are living sumptuously like kings and queens in multi-million dollar homes while you sit overwhelmed

by debt Irsquom telling you that you are NOT listening to the real gospel Repent for seeking after the

Father as a sugar daddy instead of the God that sent His Divine Son Jesus to save you from your sins

Rededicate your life to Jesus and ask Him where you can go to receive the true Gospel

The Bible warns ldquoAnd 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 Godrdquo (Rom

122)

ANTICHRIST SPIRIT WORKS IN YOUR MIND

Many are no longer teaching the Word of God with Jesus Christ as the center of the Gospel It is

the Word of God that renews the mind and brings faith (Acts 1711-12) ldquoThese were more noble than

those in Thessalonica in that they received the word with all readiness of mind and searched the

scriptures daily whether those things were so 12 Therefore many of them believed also of honourable

women which were Greeks and of men not a fewrdquo

Your state of mind will decide where you spend eternity (Phil 25) Let this mind be in you which

was also in Christ Jesusrdquo

(Col 218) ldquoLet no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshiping of

angels intruding into those things which he hath not seen vainly puffed up by his fleshly mindrdquo
