Did you read the nonsense that your prophet wrote about the cure for cancer? You guys just follow any idiot because you are so lazy to read the bible yourselves.
In another post, your prophet wrote "Islam is the gospel of Apostle Paul to the Gentiles."
But you choose to fight me rather than question him.
You are so pained. You don't know me , maybe you should go through my threads before spewing gibberish. I won't judge a man by his past but what he speaks of and testifies of at the moment .


Does his warnings make people beware of the times we are in? If yes, he's of no harm. You attacked him like one who doesn't have the spirit of God.

I can't be God's enemy for pointing out a fake.

See a fakeman calling on me to repent. You are all about false prophecy.
Hope you notice that no one takes you serious. You are another fake nairaland prophet hoping to make it big but you are too lazy to achieve anything meaningful with your life.
You better be humble and stay watchful because the times are evil. The days of mercy are soon shortened. Leave the man to do his work by warning people about the imminent doom that is by the corner.

If you are wise you will desist from antagonising him and also pray and watch so that you are not truly marked for damnation as he speaks of.

The same religious organization published a magazine Which they use to give to the public to read that God does not require anybody to go to a temple or shrine or whatever they call it to worship. Yet see them come to this platform repeatedly asking what is the name of the church of persons they are in conversation with.
It's Very hypocritical of them... Honestly

If your revelations are not anything new from what were already written in the Bible, why would God reveal them to you in the first place?
It's needless undecided undecided
There are so many people Out there who don't know about the scriptures, or about God's salvation which is Jesus like Cornelius in acts 10, some have the scripture but don't understand like the Ethiopian Eunuch, but God by his mercies will reach them and teach them because they are humble, He will also direct them like Cornelius , to people who he has reached. And that was my case, as I never understood what the modern church was all about. I was lost and chasing after what pastor said we should do and not what scripture declares. But now I know what the true faith is and it's belief in Jesus Crucified and Ressurrected.

Just follow your way o. But I'm very sure that Jesus never taught us to worship without a congregation of believers.
Congregation of believers ? What do they believe in? Michael as God's Christ or prosperity as the essence of God's sacrifice?

You don't know what you worship . I'd rather worship with my brethren at home in secret and raise my kids to know the true Christ , I'd rather reach out to lost souls and point them to the Christ crucified and Ressurrected .

John 4:21 KJV
the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.

There's no prescribed location for God's worship . You are God's temple and house of prayer.

23
But 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.

Do you worship in spirit and in TRUTH? This should be ur concern.

What makes you think your own interpretation is not twisting of the scripture undecided
Because all that you believe about God was what Jehova witness organisation taught you and made you believe, and not by the spirit of God or his apostles.

1 John 2:27 KJV
But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.


When you're indoctrinated by mere men who don't have the spirit of God, you might have been marked for damnation.

So far, all you have been taught by your organisation have been proven fallible and erroneous when juxtaposed alongside with the scriptures of God's words.

Lol. You got it completely wrong undecided undecided
When the 120 were speaking in different tongues, it was unknown to them because they never spoke or heard the language before. Only the Jews around them that were familiar with the languages because they've travelled to various countries understood it.

For example, if you started speaking in Spanish tongue today through the holy spirit, everything you said would be unknown to you because you don't know or understand Spanish unless you have the gift of interpretation of tongues.

All the tongues today are pure gibberish undecided undecided

Seems most of your beliefs are gotten from the Jehovah witnesses undecided

If you had a dream about what has already been written in the scripture that's normal. It's a replay of that you've already known in your head.
Like I said , most of the revelation I had about Jesus were before I knew scriptures nor even Met any JW. I was even instructed to let people know in one of my visions. So there was no way it was in my head beforehand. I had to search scriptures afterwards to see if they were so. Even if you preached to me, I would search the scriptures.

I'm not boasting but I have a revelatory gift. Most things were revealed to me before they happen and I never conjured anything or prayed to see these things.

My gift is centred around revelations of word of knowledge and prophecies, not miracles.

Do you have the holy spirit and how many miracles can you perform?
How many word of prophecies have the holy spirit revealed to you undecided undecided undecided

Share some of your beliefs that the JWs got wrong, seems you have all the truths I have been looking for all this while undecided undecided
If you're talking about the workings of God's spirit through me, I have experienced many especially visions of revelational truths as touching the Christ as the Lamb of God, His coming and a new world which the modern church never talk about. Hence I stopped putting my faith in this world but in Christ and his government to come.

And I have also dabbled in odd practises of the modern church unknowingly too.

I can tell you, Miracles are real . Yes, there are people that do stage and fake them but they happen. Even Satan's messangers work miracles alot.

My meekness had made me sit with different JW people so they could teach me because I found the practises of modern church to be odd and without hope . Their Faith in God is basically believing in God for material possessions.

I entertained the JW evangelists anytime I saw them because they preached Hope of a new world and the new heaven and earth, even when people wouldn't want to listen to them around me. I was surprised that many didn't have an open heart as I did .

The revelation of a new heaven and earth was already revealed to me by God , hence my quest for truth increased. I told a JW what was revealed to me which was even in the scriptures, yet He called it spiritism and labeled my revelations as one that was sourced from Satan.

Years ago, I noticed each time i sat down in a church where the preacher preached only about Prosperity I get angry inside of me even tho I knew nothing about the scriptures.

I'm not alone. The church is not physical . Tho I may be isolated but there are People called Elects of God and they are scattered around the world. These ones may have been deceived for some time but God will not keep them in deception because they are Elects .

What makes you think that your interpretation of 1 Thessalonians 4:16 is perfect? Why would Jesus's voice be a similitude of an angel's voice since you showed me from Hebrew 1:5 that Jesus is different from the angels?
Why didn't Paul say directly that the lord Jesus will shout with his own voice?

"...With the voice of the archangel"
You are the one adding or twisting the scripture because the verse clearly states that the lord Jesus will shout with the voice of the archangel.
Compared to John 5:28,29 we can reason that the voice of God's son is same as that of the archangel. Perhaps Michael the archangel is God's only begotten son that he sent to earth. And he was named Jesus on earth. That doesn't contradict anything in the Bible.


Jesus was a spirit being in heaven before he came to earth. He had to leave his glory in heaven and became flesh and blood.
God is spirit and has a spirit body likewise the other living creatures in heaven. Jesus explained that flesh and blood cannot enter heaven.
Only humans has physical bodies.

Apparently, Jesus is currently a spirit being in heaven right now. He only had a physical body while on earth.

Michael fought against satan and his angels, defeated them and chased them out of heaven. Jesus was already in heaven when that happened, why didn't he lead the battle?
When Jesus comes back again, he will come in his full glory not in human form.
So Jesus will lead the battle of Armageddon against the same Satan.
Now tell me why Jesus and Michael played the same role of leading the army of angels in a war against Satan?


Which of them are really using God's power today
Most of the miracles are staged and faked.
Pastor Adeboye's son that died several months ago, I wonder why he wasn't able to raise him up or at least any of his friends that are men of God could have raise him up. All these men of God visits the hospital regularly.


Being saved has nothing to do with the baptism of the holy spirit. The baptism of the holy spirit is meant for the manifestation of God's power. And also it's a seal for those that will be take part in the first resurrection. The 144000.


If we don't seek for the accurate interpretation then most the things in the scripture will remain unclear to us.
It's really hard to disillusion a sternly indoctrinated man. Hence, I leave you in peace with your beliefs. The prior and most important thing is salvation and knowing the true Christ. I will never jeopardize that by calling the Lord Jesus an Arch angel, and scripture says " non of the angels did God call his son" . But you Jw imply that Michael is the begotten son of God . Who else will exalt an angel if not a fallen angel which we all know to be devils ?

The holy spirit was very much in operation then no doubt. But is the holy spirit still working like before?
For example when Christian folks speak in tongues today, all I hear them say is madman's language. It doesn't make any sense.
Compare to the proper tongue the first century Christians spoke. They spoke in other meaningful languages.
Acts 2:7-11
1 Corinthians 14:2 KJV
For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.


I hope you've come across this scripture.

There are diverse kind of tongues which was seen In Acts2 on pentecost, and there is unknown tongues as Paul indicated above.

What is happening today is perversion, it doesn't negate that one cannot speak in unknown tongue.

I'm a follower and disciple of the Christ of God.
I don't belong to any religion or faction of this modern day society. If you know what's good for you, you should dissociate yourself from factions with untraceable fables and tales that look like it was coined from scriptures.

What I know is that , all true JW members seek for the truth and they have tried to alienate themselves from the false practises of modern day churches , but they were still seduced and captured in their quest for "truth" into another form of apostasy, by denying the Spirit of God and the true son of God.

Marvel not, for Satan even transforms himself as an angel of light and his ministers are like ministers of righteousness.

If you truly want to be saved , humble yourself and ask God to teach you the truth. This time read the bible for yourself and allow the holy spirit teach you. God seeing your heart not being hardened will draw you and teach you his ways and show you his salvation which can be wrought only through his son, Jesus.

The trinity doctrines that you folks believe in was brought by who?
Who interpretation and established that God is three persons in one? Or three Gods in one person?
Did Jesus or any of the apostle taught anything called trinity?
There's no word such as Trinity in the scriptures. I don't belong to any pentecostal , catholic or Charismatic group and my beliefs are not based on their doctrines.

But I believe in God and his son Jesus , the Christ who sent the Holy Ghost in the name his Son.

And Jesus instructed his disciples thus :
Matthew 28:19 KJV
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:




You Jehova witness people have your own bible where you have edited and twisted so many things to suit your Interpretation.

So everything you believe in today was based of the interpretation of the Catholic church. Trinity, hell fire, immortal soul doctrines etc
You don't know me nor my beliefs which are not based on factions and fables formed by men, but I know what you believe , You believe in the arch angel Michael as the son of God and your messiah because someone casted a spell on you and made you blind to God's word in the name of indoctrination.



Lemme ask you a tactical and logical question concerning hell fire undecided

If hell fire is real;
a. Why didn't God send Adam and Eve there since they were the one that brought sin into this world? Why should someone that only inherited the sin go there?
It's clear you don't know God.

b. Why didn't God warn people right from the time of Adam to the time of the Israelites about the possibility of suffering in a fire after death?
Throughout the old testament there was nothing like hell fire.
So when Jesus spoke on the the story of Lazarus and the Rich man in Luke 16 , what was he preaching about? It was very clear Jesus was literal and it wasn't a parable , else why would he involve Abraham? Why would he speak of Abraham? The rich man was tormented sternly by the unquenchable flame as described By JESUS HIMSELF.

There were several Instances where Jesus spoke in parables concerning Hell and damnation. He spoke of Hell concerning the wheat and the chaff.(Matthew 3:12, Luke 3:17) The fire describes there was an UNQUENCHABLE FIRE

If those found wanting of God's judgment don't meet up, where do you think God would send them to? Oh u think they will be with God in his Habitation? You have been deceived, clearly.


c. Why didn't the apostle of Jesus Christ emphasis on it? Today, you would hear "if you don't repent from your evil ways, you will go to hell fire". Any small thing hell fire.
Why can't we find the warning about hell fire in the epistles of Paul and the rest?
Your question should be, WHY did Jesus lay emphasis on it. Who should you take seriously, more... The sender or the messanger?

So I'm asking you are you calling Jesus a liar?

You should ask why the Holy ghost would speak to believers and christians like Stephen , Ananias, and Philip that were not apostles in the early church . Why would God send his Angel to Cornelius(acts 10:36) after Christ had ascended . Would u call them spiritists? Won't you humble yourselves before God and learn of God?

God never said " I will stop speaking to my people , and my voice will they not hear anymore in the latter days " . It was you and your sect that came up with that by twisting scriptures

God never said "My son is the archangel Michael" . It was you and your sect!

God never said Lucifer will come to earth in 1948, it was you and your sect!

God never said " a time will come when I not pour out my spirit" rather it was you and your sect.

God said " in the last days I shall pour out my spirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesy and your young men shall see visions" , it was even confirmed by Peter .

How else shall we prophesy and see visions if not by the spirit of the Living God?

Please stop telling us what the scriptures didn't say, and tell us what it says directly, not what you Interpreted. It was the same Interpretation Satan gave to Eve and it separated God from man. JW's have been taught and inspired by fallen angels .

Most of your doctrines seem to want to severe the ties of man with God's holy spirit, by giving credence of the Christ to an archangel, so people won't believe in the son of God for salvation but will rather look up to the angel and I know that pattern came from the garden and that spirit is Satan.

The means through which God mainly speaks to us today is true the Bible. The Bible is a complete word of God containing event that have happened in the past, events happening now and events that will take place on the future. The Bible is complete.

When The holy ghost asked Philip to go to Gaza (acts 8:21)
Why didn't he open the bible to check if God said he should go there?
Was Philip an apostle?
Or when Stephen's eyes were opened and he saw Christ and the throne of God, why don't you tag him a spiritist . Was he an apostle too?

No one negates that the scriptures is complete. It was the Holy spirit that inspired the scriptures and whatever he will speak will be in line with has He has written.

You claim the scripture is complete , yet you still go to add to it by saying Jesus was the arch angel Michael. What a contradiction.

There's no where in the scripture that says Jesus is the archangel Michael like you said but there are clues that indicate that Micheal could be the one sent by God as the Messiah and God's son.
Nobody knows the identity of Jesus before he became human.
You can find one of the clues from these verses; John 5:28-29 and 1 Thessalonians 4:16

Compare these verses, they are too many similarities. For example both scriptures state that "the dead will rise or resurrect after they hear a voice? Whose voice? Jesus's voice of course!

Why would Jesus use the archangel's voice instead of his own voice?
Because they are the same person.
Since scripture didn't say directly that Jesus was the archangel , why twist scriptures to arrive at such bogus conclusion? God has revealed all we should know, and any further revelation would be a confirmation of what has been written, and If God wanted us to know that Jesus was an archangel , he would have stated it in the scriptures. But you can't find that anywhere because it's a doctrine of devils and an addition to the word of God.

HEB 1:5 says

For to which of the angels did God ever say, "You are my Son, today I have begotten you"? Or again, "I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son"? For God never said to any angel what he said to Jesus: “You are my Son


Jesus is the only begotten son, and Michael is an arch angel of God.

"Why would Jesus use the archangel's voice "

Good question .

Why didn't the bible say "and Michael would shout in his voice"?

The scriptures only indicated that the voice of Jesus would sound in the similitude of an archangel , to best describe it. It never said Jesus was an archangel. This is how doctrine of devils are formed.

You can see another clue from the book of Revelations. Jesus led some important battles with host of angels under him just as Micheal led some battles too with hosts of angel under him.
Can you listen to yourself sir? Jesus has a body and Michael is spirit . There are two different entities entirely and two scenes of battles , one of which Michael fought against the dragon and his angels , and Jesus alongside his saints fought against the human government (the battle of armageddon), Hope you know this? And the scriptures clearly indicated that Michael would battle the dragon in Rev 12and in Rev 19:11 Christs fight was against the anti Christ and his government (physical battle) , invariably.


The way the holy spirit moved with the first century Christians is different today. You see the way the apostles were raising the dead, healing the sick, the lame and various kind of illnesses.
Are we still seeing that today? How many of this so called pastor can heal a lame man let alone raising the dead like it was done in the early church era?
Where have you been? Are you not seeing that there are So many believers and men of God that operate in the functionality of working miracles ,prophecies, and other signs.


The first people that received the holy spirit were the 120 disciples and they got it directly from God. The rest of the people that got it was secondhand from the apostles by laying hands on them.
So after the baptised apostles died and true Christianity was destroyed centuries back, there was no one left to transfer the holy spirit to people.
.
[/i]
These are sayings are not true. You're clearly implying that God isn't saving people today, because scripture says that The Holy ghost is a seal of our redemption and this indicates that those that have been saved by God have been given the gift of the Holy spirit which is a proof of their salvation . If they have been saved , it means they have the seed of God in them and they can also walk in signs and miracles as the Holy spirit leads.

Ephesians 4:30 KJV
And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

The authority of scripture is greater than any perceived Interpretation or understanding. Don't add to the word of God!

Which of the doctrines don't sit well with you?
Most of JW's beliefs are from an implied or perceived interpretation and not directly as scripture says them.

One too many errors I find and they are thus,

1. Jesus is the arch angel Michael( no scripture indicated that directly, it was concoted and twisted )

2. Jesus isn't one with God , when John 1 clearly indicated that the word was God , the world was made by him and He was made flesh.

3. God doesn't speak to humans anymore (misinterpreting hebrews 1:1 to mean that God doesn't speak to us) . Whereas no scripture said that God doesn't speak to us . Jesus says " my sheep hears my voice and they obey. The voice of another they won't heed". This saying of Jesus aligns with the aforementioned text which says that God has spoken through his son .

In the early church there were several instances where the Holy ghost spoke to believers to embark on missions . JW would be quick to tag such believer as a spiritist . The scripture says "test all spirits" knowing that spirits would speak to us and through us but we must judge according to God's word and ways.

Chief, what is the primary aim of all military formations all over the world? Under whose care are these military formations?

Romans 131-5 Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. 2 Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. 4 For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. 5 Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience


Based on the scriptures and areas in bold cited above in your post. Do you see it as a sin when those God's servant takes the life of people?
Nice submission, but Whose testimony would you rather hold up? Christ's or Paul's? The highlighted verses of scriptures are true in that context, but in modern day reality we see military might being deployed on the basis of national conflict of interests , like the case of Russia and Ukraine; a sovereign nation trying to exert it's dominion and authority over it's subject .

The magnitude of chaos and destruction caused by the ego of one man all in a bid to declare sovereignty ... It's alarming and appalling to see that young men under the condemnation of sin and death are being deployed to be instruments of such mayhem and tragic loss of innocent lives.

For conscience sake ... It's better to be used as God's instrument of love other than an instrument of God's wrath of punishment.

Authorities are positioned to ensure order as purported , but if it would involve taking people's lives then I'd rather not be a part of it as it negates the commandment of love. Other forms of punishment is allowed as no one is above chastisement.

Paul would say thus:

1 Corinthians 10:23 KJV
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

[34]So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.
[35]Your love for one another will prove to the world that you are my disciples.”


Can Christian brothers who are supposed to love their fellow Christian brothers according to Jesus commandment above join the military or engage in politics?

Here's a scenario;
Some Christian brothers in Ukraine joined the military, some Christian brothers in Russia also joined the military and they were all sent to the battlefield by their respective leaders.

What happens when they meet at the battlefield, they start killing one another base on the commands of mortal men right?
Haven't they gone against Jesus's commandments about loving one another by joining the military to kill one another?
Ponder on these questions.

This is one of the reasons why Jehovah witnesses are the only one practising true Christianity today. They will never engage in military service and politics.

None of the people in the early church, Jesus, Paul, Peter, Timothy, John and the rest participated in politics. They were neutral and only focus on spreading the good news about the kingdom of God as commissioned by Jesus Christ.

The early church and the Bible is the standard for true Christianity and only the Jehovah witnesses follow the standard completely today.

Jesus taught us from the Bible to stand out and not be part of this world presently ruled by Satan.

I love the modesty of JW people but some of their doctrines don't sit well . It appears mis-aligned.

Truly, a real Christian would not join the military . It's all an anti Christ Agenda to recruit men to become national assassins . God allowed Israel to have defenders and armies to protect the heritage of the Jews so Christ can come through them.

Now that Christ had come, He preached that we should turn the other cheek and not take a tooth for a tooth. But we want to save lives and protect them by killing another which negates the commandment of love for one another.

No matter how much we try to save our lives, it will be lost. Until the government of Christ comes , this world can't be salvaged or perfected.

The highlighted is interesting.

So what is the FRUIT expected of Christianity?
First ask who is a Christian?

ANS: A follower and disciple of Christ!

The fruit of a Christian thus:


John 13:34-35 KJV
A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.

[35] By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

Calls for concern..

Add also:

* Hypocrisy of supposed believers.

* Blasting incantations in the guise of speaking in tongues.

* Zero unity amongst people who got their faith from the same one book. Where I live, just down the street, there are two churches opposite each other.. shocked
You can say that again . I'm scared for this generation. The gates of hell can never prevail against the true Church and the Elects of God.

I pray that people's eyes will begin to open, so they can see the glorious light of the gospel of Christ truly.

Christianity EtcThe Modern day Church And Her strange Practices by ErnestNc(op):
For some couple of years now, somethings have not been sitting right with me anymore concerning the practices of the modern day pentecostal church and it's practices. When I sit down in the gathering and I hear the pastor speak, I cringe.

I questioned myself many times , if truly we are on the right path as a people and if there are truly elects of God, it means they might be few and are protected by God from the common practices of today's church.


Most of these practices cannot be traced to the apostles or the early church believers. I discovered most of these practises sprang up not less than 150years ago even after several reformations.


Jesus spoke about the narrow path that leads to life, and there be few that find it , and broad is the way that leads to death and there be many that walk in it.

Many of such concerns that have haunted me as touching practices of our modern way of worship is as follows:

1. Numerous church denominations, characterised by their differences in doctrine due to personal interpretations of scriptures


2. Chanting the name of Jesus and the Holy ghost as a mantra many times In the similitude of occultic people .

3. [b]Name it claim it gospel i.e issuing command and decrees to God and angels and aslo word affirmations . Meanwhile Jesus taught his disciples how to approach God and pray to God as father In a humble manner


4. Random speaking In tongues which seem like a perversion. (Even I, still do this occasionally and subconsciously)

5. Perversion of God's word ; over emphasizing on things that cannot save us from our sins or bring us to the knowledge of the Son of God

6.Emphasis on the Use of other material medium to access God's power and blessings e.g oil, handkerchief, mantles, water, sand, fruits/herbs, monetary seed, honour than Faith in Jesus


7. Dancing and singing loudly in our sins like pagans, whereas it doesn't have any impact on salvation or the Kingdom Jesus brings . I feel it's deception as a result of adoption of paganism and the world system.

Most lyrical content lack description of The true Christ , rather it speaks of self and prosperity as God's true blessings other than Christ the true blessing which God promised Abraham.


8. Exaltation and deifying of men of God above others whereas It's the same Holy spirit God gave to all but different operations.

9. Emphasis on prosperity(physical wellness, financial abundance etc) as the essence of Christ's death on the cross, whereas Christ never promised to save us from any plague of this world but was rather sent to save us from Our sins so we can seek God's kingdom , after which other blessings shall follow .(Matthew 6:33-36)

In addition to this, many have become false Saviours and Christ's that are sent to liberate people from their poverty, marriage problems, sicknesses so they can live comfortably in this present world rather than hope for the coming of Christ and his government which shall restore all things and eliminate our present plague and tribulations in the new world.

I know for a Fact, this was the reason Jesus never healed all the sick and all the physically handicapped in israel. He never identified himsef with riches like most men of God do. Rather he said it was difficult for a rich man to enter Int God's kingdom and a man's life doesn't consist of the abundance of his possession.

But one thing I know for sure was he sought to save all men from their sins. And In his reign and government we shall all be perfect as he is.

if you're doubting and cannot see these errors in the body, you might have been marked for damnation because of your knowledge, lust and pride.

These are antics of the Anti-Christ. He is the one that shall claim to seek for the peace and prosperity of this present world . The anti Christ will present himself as a saviour to save many from the trials of this present age and many will accept him.

He will try to save you from your death through technological advancement, he will seek to alleviate poverty and sicknesses such that you won't need the true Christ to come.

That same spirit has infiltrated the church and adulterated the true gospel of salvation.

I'm not negating the place of deliverance and good living, but these are signs that authenticate the harbinger of Christ's salvation and not the center of the Gospel.


If there are truly Elects as scriptures says , they will almost be deceived but not for too long.

There is a strong delusion in the body , and many have heeded to seducing doctrines of devils and have departed from the faith by heaping up false teachers for themselves ,because they have itching ears to hear of a gospel that will enrich their body and soul.

May God save us all and open our eyes to the TRUTH which sets free.

Shalom!
