Idolatry and Witchcraft?

Galatians 5:19-21 (New International Version)

The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Idolatry and witchcraft is intentionaly highlighted among the list of the acts of the sinful nature to stress that these two acts of sin go together. They cannot be split from each other and there is always an evil link between the two. Not many of God's own children know that idolatry and witchcraft are sins that come from the sinful nature. In the pretext of worshipping 'God', the Devil with the control of lying spirits stranglehold in bondage these idolaters and witchcraft practitioners.The lie is that they are still worshipping 'God' but to us the question is which god? God hates idolatry and witchcraft, which is clearly stated in His word.Witchcraft is made to look like these practioners are seeking help of 'God' but actually from which god?They are seeking the help of Satan and the demons .These 'blind' ones are worshipping it knowingly in rebellion or unknowingly.

Except for one's faith on Christ and His works on the cross alone, the rest are all idolaters and witchcraft practitioners if you take your eyes off Him and start promoting 'Money' as above God. If you were to look around and observe as to what they are practising,you will see that all of the others are idols ,especially the worship of 'Money'.However, there are those in this world that claim to be of the same faith with believing in Christ as our Savior and Lord but their claims are not true.The opposite is true. They proudly claim that they do not worship idols.But, do not forget that they believe in witchcraft practices. This is where the deception lies.

In the country that I come from, these same group of people practice witchcraft.That is why idolatry and witchcraft are the same sins of the sinful nature.Though they claim that they do not worship idols but they practise witchraft which is an act of the sinful nature ,equivalent to the sin of idolatry.

People who practice witchcraft can 'work' along with idolaters,worshippers of Money.They seem similar in their sinful nature of fanatism,violence,lies,sexual-lust,greed,coveteousness and all other fruits of the sinful nature.

You may ask, how come they do 'fight' or disagree amongst themselves?This is what Jesus Christ our Lord said of them:

Luke 11:17-18 (New International Version)

Jesus knew their thoughts and said to them: "Any kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and a house divided against itself will fall. If Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom stand? I say this because you claim that I drive out demons by Beelzebub.

Satan's kingdom is doomed for ruin and failure and that is why they can't help fighting one another and bring about self-destruction. Do you see what they normally would fight over?
Money,wealth,power,position,land,boundaries,territories,possessions,commodities,control,supremacy,and anything else to do with this temporary world that does not belong to them. For they can't even create a particle of sand or the air that we breathe what more other things. One of the fruit of the sinful nature is also selfish ambition and therefore they quarrel and 'fight'.

What about counterfeit christianity? Are they also idolatry and witchcraft? The emphatic answer is 'yes.' Counterfeit christianity has to do with seeking the things of the world,Satan's delights and seeking the help of Satan and its demons. Money or mammon is one great idol of the world. Many have gone after it and forgotten God or they may be moving around with a mask to deceive believers of Christ that they too are 'seekers' of 'God'. That is the prevalent deception today,beware! or even the very elect of God will be deceived.

Jesus Christ our Lord has given His believers the authority to trample on idolatry and witchcraft powers. Nothing will harm us.We can demolish these pretension and take captive of thoughts to Christ.

Luke 10:18-19 (New International Version)

He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.

I consider idolatry and witchcraft as poisonous as snakes and scorpions that kill but we have been given authority over it and to overcome all the power of the Enemy.

2 Corinthians 10:5 (New International Version)

We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Use your authority and defeat the devil today.

"If my people shall humble themselves and pray......"

2 Chronicles 7:14 (New International Version)

If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

God's desire is to see His people who are washed by the blood of Christ humble themselves first. 'Humble' here means to empty one's self from all the glory(pride) you could get from this earth and anything in it. You cannot be proud of the things you own on this earth and at the same time humble yourself to pray before the Lord.That is plain hypocrisy. He dares us to stand without taking pride from anything that belongs to us on this earth.If you have anything, can you empty yourself from them all and be humble.Can you say with confidence that the Lord will take care of your needs on this earth when you have forsaken all things that gives you pride?

For example ,can you still pray to the Lord with confidence when your car, the means of transport is taken away from you because you were busy praying for things to happen that did not concern you?
Will you not feel the embarrassment of being without a vehicle which is often used as a means of showing off your possessions on earth. What about if all the other possessions were taken away from you one by one.Which will you choose to restore?your pride? or to remain humble and pray.

This is what you mean by being 'humble'.To carry on praying inspite of all the loss is humility.To empty oneself of all this pride is being 'humble' .It won't work if you have everything and consider your self to be humble.

Philippians 2:5-11 (New International Version)

Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature[a] God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature[b] of a servant,being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man,he humbled himself and became obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

In order for God to hear your prayer,you would need to humble yourself by emptying yourself of everything or else it will not be considered humbling yourself.

When you empty yourself from everything you take pride from on this earth, and turn from every other wickedness then your prayer will be heard by the Lord to heal the land.

As Kings and Priests of the Lord.

Revelation 1:4-6 (New International Version)

To the seven churches in the province of Asia:

Grace and peace to you from him who is, and who was, and who is to come, and from the seven spirits[a] before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth.

To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood, and has made us to be a kingdom and priests to serve his God and Father—to him be glory and power for ever and ever! Amen.

We are made kings and priest on this earth by the washing and deliverance we receive from the blood of the Lamb.The Lord Jesus Christ is the King of kings and He is also the Great High Priest.we are his kings and priests on this earth when He rules this earth for a thousand years.

Revelation 12:11 (New International Version)

They overcame the devil by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.

They were kings on earth because they were given authority over all the power of the Enemy. Nothing could harm them, not even the 'strongest' of men. This men were the children of the devil who supposedly had the powers of the Devil to harm these kings who belong to Jesus Christ our Lord. They could do nothing to them because their trust was in their God,their Lord.

Nullify the Devil's Headquarters!

Proverbs 21:22 (New International Version)

" A wise man attacks the city of the mighty and pulls down the stronghold in which they trust".

The headquarters of the Devil in any country can be removed and be thrown into the lake of fire.
'City of the mighty' here refers to the headquarters of the Devil held in possession as a stronghold by the children of the Devil. It takes only one wise man of the Lord Jesus Christ to pull down or tear down the stronghold which the children of the Devil trust in. They have nothing else to live for, as they have forfeited eternal life by following Satan (the Devil).Life on this earth is only what they can cling on to.Not so for us who belong to Jesus.We have eternal life in Jesus Christ.Eternal life is found only in Jesus Christ.

Jeremiah 1:10 (New International Version)

See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."

The prophet to the nations is called of God to uproot deeply rooted strongholds, tear down stubborn evil authorities that exalts itself above God and destroy the headquarters of the Devil in any country that God has called him to do so.If God has not given the 'green light' to do so ,the prophet can do nothing about it.

Jeremiah 1:18-19 (New International Version)

Today I have made you a fortified city, an iron pillar and a bronze wall to stand against the whole land—against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests and the people of the land. They will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the LORD.

The wise man, who is the prophet to the nation, will enter the 'city of the mighty'(the headquarters of the Devil) and he himself will become the' fortified city' that no one can move or shake him from doing what has called him to do, because of such immovable trust in the Lord his God.He will be tested more than others but he will remain as an 'iron pillar' and a 'bronze wall' to stand against the whole land affected by the stranglehold of the headquarters of the Devil in that country.He will battle against the False Prophet,The Beast(the Anti-Christ system) the ruler spirits and the Dragon(Satan himself). All of them together cannot overcome the 'one wise man' that God sends,the prophet to that nation.

Luke 10:19-20 (New International Version)

"I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven"

What will the headquarters of the Devil have in it? Yes, snakes and scorpions.What are these snakes and scorpions?

Ephesians 6:12 (New International Version)

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms."

But, take note they are not ordinary rulers but evil rulers, not ordinary authorites but evil authorites, evil powers too and spritual forces of evil over the air there. The whole atmosphere in that country will be controlled by the headquarters of the Devil which is also refered to as the 'city of the mighty'.

But, It takes only 'one wise man' to overthrow and destroy these for eternity in that country.
The war he gets involved in and gives up his life is different.

2 Corinthians 10:3-5 (New International Version)

"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."

The warfare he does is spiritual prayer assisted by the Holy Spirit, without which he cannot do war with the Devil.He demolishes everything of the Devil over the lives of the people there,in that country,releases the people from that stronghold and takes them captive to the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ with the help of the Holy Spirit.Then he builds and plants oaks of righteousness in Christ in the Heavenly Fathers garden now.The Holy Spirit leads that 'one wise man' to do this things of God as a true workman of Christ.

Babylon will fall!. It will come crushing down under the power of our God.When these 'mini- Babylons' in each country controlled by the Devil,the False prophet and the Beast come crushing down it will pave the way for the 'Grand City of Prostitutes'-' the great and mysterious Babylon will fall under the hands of Christ our Lord and His Great Army of the Lord.


Revelation 17:5-6 (New International Version)

This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY ,BABYLON THE GREAT , THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES ,AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.

Revelation 18:2-3 (New International Version)

With a mighty voice he shouted: "Fallen! Fallen is Babylon the Great! She has become a home for demons and a haunt for every evil[a] spirit, a haunt for every unclean and detestable bird. 3For all the nations have drunk the maddening wine of her adulteries. The kings of the earth committed adultery with her, and the merchants of the earth grew rich from her excessive luxuries."

Gideon's 'Minority' Warfare.

Judges 6:15-16 (New International Version)

"But Lord , [a] " Gideon asked, "how can I save Israel? My clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my family."
The LORD answered, "I will be with you, and you will strike down all the Midianites together."

Gideon was a chosen of God judge of Israel when there was no monarchy rule.A judge was chosen to run the country singlehandedly when Israel was without a king.

The question Gideon asked God with a doubt was "Am I the right man to lead the country"? "Do you know my background?",he asked God."I am the least and the weakest", he reminded God.

But, God had said to him, "I am with you" thats all you would need to do my will.God gives him confidence by assuring Gideon that he will be able "to strike all the Midianites down"

Another words,God told him that 'One with God is a majority'To prove this point God had told Gideon to reduce the number of troops with him to defeat the Midianites.Ridiculously,the army was downsized from 32000 troops to just three hundred.

Judges 7:7 (New International Version)

The LORD said to Gideon, "With the three hundred men that lapped I will save you and give the Midianites into your hands. Let all the other men (31700 of them) go, each to his own place."


Gideon obeyed God and God showed forth his power with causing confusion in the enemy's camp with a bad dream to one of them in the enemy's camp.Fear struck the midianites who were defeated by Gideon and the incredible 300 men with him.It was solely an act of God in that warfare between God's minority against the Enemy's majority.The Majority were defeated badly.

If God assures you with " I am with you, go and do my will" , even though you may feel you don't qualify or are fit to do His will, it is best for you to obey Him. Fear might hold you back but if you would follow His leading, step by step, you will succed in doing what He had told you to do, no matter how impossible the task might seem to you.

All Authority belongs to Jesus Christ!

Colossians 1:15-16 (New International Version)

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him.

All authority in heaven,on earth,and underneath the earth has been placed under the feet of Jesus Christ our Lord.There is no authority in the entire universe that can come against His authority.

Philippians 2:9-11 (New International Version)

Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,to the glory of God the Father.

God the Father Himself has exalted Jesus Christ our Lord to the highest place over all thrones,powers,rulers, and authorities.This is so from the beginning because all things you see on earth and all things invisible on earth were created by Jesus Christ and for Jesus Christ our Lord.It pleased our Father in Heaven to bestow on his beloved Son the Lord Jesus Christ all authority over all His created things in this universe.

What about those who hatefully reject Him as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords?They will be objects of His wrath.At His victorious return to earth, all objects of his wrath will face His fierce judgment.That day will be a frightening day of his wrath.

You have a choice of acknowledging Him as the King of your life now or never, before it is too late.You can accept His love today and have peace with God.

What about those who do not show fear or reverence for Him.They too will face the judgment of God.Every proud and arrogant person on earth or in this universe will be destroyed.Every proud and arrogant nation on this earth will be leveled to the ground,flattened and disgraced.

Those who do not acknowledge Him as their God,Savior or Lord will be crushed.Those who do not accept His authority over all things created will face destruction.Those who oppose Him will be put to eternal shame.

Jude 1:14-16 (New International Version)

Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied about these men:

"See, the Lord is coming with thousands upon thousands of His holy ones to judge everyone, and to convict all the ungodly of all the ungodly acts they have done in the ungodly way, and of all the harsh words ungodly sinners have spoken against him." These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.

Every knee will bow before him one day and confess with their mouths and tongues that Jesus Christ is Lord,the glory of God the Father. No matter who you are on this earth today,the day will come when you will have to come and bow before Him and say with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord,you might as well say it now and escape the coming wrath!

All proud,arrogant,greedy,boastful,lustful,vile and violent person who call God the Father a liar by not accepting and acknowledging God's sent One will be judged severely.If you wish to continue in your sins and sinful ways ,do so to your own destruction soon.

Matthew 28:17-20 (New International Version )

When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

If there is no Christformation in you...what happens then?

Luke 11:24-26 (New International Version)

"When an evil[a] spirit comes out of a man, it goes through arid places seeking rest and does not find it. Then it says, 'I will return to the house I left.' When it arrives, it finds the house swept clean and put in order. Then it goes and takes seven other spirits more wicked than itself, and they go in and live there. And the final condition of that man is worse than the first."

What happens when a believer in Christ willingly turns from following Satan and is no more housing a walking den of demons in him or herself? He has renounced every evil and unclean works of the Devil and have turned away from sin. He is made clean and he is now a house put in order.

What made the devil or demon to decide full occupation of the house again? This house was left clean and put in order! This house was cleansed(swept clean) by the blood of Jesus Christ and put in order by the Holy Spirit and now needed someone to occupy it.The Devil saw that the believer did not know who should occupy that house which was cleaned and put in order!

The Holy Spirit in him or her must have witnessed to them that the house is to be occupied with Christ being fully formed in them.There must have been no obedience on their part to the voice of the Holy Spirit.Christformation in us requires a price to be paid by us.We need to pay a price for Christ to be formed in us.

Luke 9:23-25 (New International Version)

Then he said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?

Salvation is free in Christ through His perfect work of sacrifice on the cross of Calvary only if we believe in Him. Christformation in you follows with the full help of the Holy Spirit promised to you and me. In order for any of God's promises to come to pass in our lives, there is a basic need for faith and obedience on our part to the Holy Spirit's leading.Faith plus obedience equals to God's promise fulfilled in our lives.Many would want to believe in His free salvation in Christ but do not want to pay a price for full Christformation(full-occupation of Christ)in themselves. So,The Devil comes and brings in full occupation of himself in that 'house' cleaned and put in order now.

The price we would have to pay for Christformation in us is 'deny ourselves'.Deny ourselves of pleasing the sinful nature and willingly put to death all the pleasures it may be seeking in us.In this way, the nature of Satan in us will be voluntarily put to death and we will be sowing to the divine nature of Christ in us instead.The divine nature of Christ must fully be formed in us in that 'house cleaned and put in order' by the Holy Spirit.With full Christformation in us we be will holy as He is Holy.

Galatians 6:7-8 (New International Version)

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature[a]will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.

There is a price to be paid for Christformation in us on our part, with faith and obedience to the Holy Spirit,our gentle Helper in us.We have to take up our cross daily and follow Christ fully for Christ to be fully formed in us.The work of sowing and reaping is a persevering task.You will need to persevere through till the end till you see the full 'fruit' formed to please the Owner of the garden.

Romans 5:1-5 (New International Version)

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we[a]have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we[b] rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we[c] also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us.

Believers are willing to believe in the saving works of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and rejoice in it but are not willing to rejoice in the sufferings of carrying their cross daily by denying themselves of the pleasures of sinful nature,the nature of the devil(Satan )in them.They would want to continue in them.This will work to their own destruction.The 'house that is cleaned and and put in order ' will become the den of demons again which God will have to destroy.

Allow Christ to be formed in you fully with the Help of the Holy Spirit. Continue in it faithfully even if you have to lose your own life.You will gain Christ fully in the end.That is eternal life with the fulness of Christ in you-the mystery of God in you.

When what is vile is honored among men.....

Psalm 12:8 (New International Version)

"The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men."

When what is vile is honored among men,the wicked freely strut about on the streets. Vile could be refered to those objects that God detest and reject.He considers them abominable in His sight and presence.

Images of idolatry as refered to in Exodus chapter 20 could be the first abominable object that He detests and reject.Those who worship them will face God's wrath eventually.
Witchcraft and sorcery practices of seeking the help of vile demons is another, as in the epistles to the Galatians :chapter 5.

Anything made by the wisdom of this world that is highly esteemed by men is alo an object that God detest and is considered vile.Mammon or money is also a vile thing if you live to serve only its purposes.Anything that occupies your body ,soul(mind) and spirit more than God is a vile thing that God hates.

'Ligive' is a latin derivative word that simply means 'code of living'. 'Re-' means repeat. Religion comes from these two words that jointly means 'Repeating the codes of living' and that has got nothing to do with God,They could only mean 'code of living made by men' not necessarily God's.This thing 'made by men' and exalted higher than God's commandments is also a vile thing in God's eyes.

Anyone who hates or rejects 'the exact representation of the Heavenly Father' who is Jesus Christ,His beloved Son revealed on earth through the gospels of Matthew ,Mark,Luke and John by the Holy Spirit becomes the abomination and vile object of his creation in God's eyes.These are the objects of His coming wrath.

When this objects that God actually detest much are lifted up on this earth and praised the wicked will will come bravely and strut about like a proud cockerel like the Devil.It is the sin of actually honoring the Devil(Satan) above God.

God versus Corrupt Throne!

"Can a corrupt throne be allied with You- one that brings on misery by its decrees?"
Psalms 94:20

Introduction:

The Bible is the only book in the world that has all the truth man would need to learn from and apply.If they aren't humble enough to learn from the Bible, they would not apply it in their lives. Again, how would you apply it unless you understand what is being said?Even when explained, men do not understand truth because you would need God to open your eyes of understaning or else you are doomed to live with lies.His mercy is very much needed to understand truth.

Lets come to the message now :

How can God who is Holy,Righteous and Just be allied with a corrupt throne?How do we recognize a corrupt throne? We will know it by the misery it brings on the righteous of the land.The wicked of the land will not feel the misery because they live by wicked and corrupt rules set by wicked men in power and in their favor.The righteous will know the difference.

To the wicked of the land sweet will taste bitter,bitter will taste sweet,light will appear to their eyes as darkness,darkness as light.They will never understand truth as the prophet Isaiah foretold of them."They are doomed to remain blind and deaf to truth"

Satan's lie and wicked deception today is that God is allied with corrupt throne.The verse above says "How can that be?"God has nothing to do with a corrupt throne.He has no part in it and so does His servants and children.

All authority and power belongs to the Lord Jesus Christ alone because that is how the Heavenly Father has placed every power,authority ,dominion,rulers,principalities and forces of this entire universe under His feet. The Lord Jesus Christ is The Holy One,The Righteous One,The One and Only,The Just One,The King of Kings and The Lord of Lords.There is no one as powerful as Him in the entire universe.How can He be allied to a corrupt throne.How can He be associated with those who bring misery to the righteous of the land.Never...He has no part in it.

The devil (satan) claims that God is responsible for all the misery.It is not God but the consequences of our continual sinning that is bringing the judgment.It is this corrupt throne of men which is sold to Satan that is causing the misery with its decrees.But, what is God doing about it?

He has allowed the consequences of sinning to follow.But,what about the righteous of the land?
God has heard their fervent prayers caught as incense in His 'golden bowl' of their suffering for the righteousness of Christ to spring up from this earth.

Those who oppose Christ and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ are the wicked of the land.They have deliberately and in rebellion called God the Father, a liar.They have refused to believe in the Lord Jesus to be the Savior and Lord of their lives. More so they make decrees to stop others from hearing or believing in the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.They are the mockers and scoundrels that the word of God says :"who will be destroyed by the cosequences of their own sinning and rebellion to God who created heaven and earth."

Can you see the wicked of the land fighting with each other and destroying themselves?That is what is happenning now and they do not know it.Wise men in the eyes of the world but dumb fools as they are.

Religious Pretense!

The devil(Satan) plays the game of religious pretense with God's called and chosen children.

The Lord Jesus said that:Satan's kingdom will always be divided by jealousy,envy,selfish- ambition and pride.It will never withstand the test.It will fall.Babylon will fall!

We are witnessing the downfall of Babylon now.Satan uses God's name to deceive those easily deceived.They will fight over rights,boundaries,land-titles,fame,policies,political- control,water,position,commodities,economical-control,race,religion,caste and others you could never think of, all in the name of God but for one purpose and that is MONEY!

There is no other purpose in Satan's kingdom of darkness.All they are fighting about is to have MORE MONEY! That is all they need.With more money they could show off with pride and pomp.This would satisfy their sinful nature which is their much treasured sowing ground they carry inside of them proudly.IT is destroying them and the people around them and they don't even realize it because they are blind and at the same time they are trying to lead someone like leaders.

All these pretense of relgiousity is soon coming to an end with the return of the Lord Jesus Christ to rule the earth.They will be proven they never knew God and God never knew them too.They will be proven they only had used God's name for their own purposes and greed for more.They only tried to forward Satan's kingdom of darkness. Judgment is coming very soon!
