Many Antichrists! By Pastor Bill Taylor A publication of My Father's House, inc. Volume 8/Issue 18 Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. (1Jn2:18) Here the Apostle John shows us an example of Spiritual reasoning. Because you know what the scripture says on a certain subject you can compare what you see happening around you to what the scripture says, and then come to a righteous understanding of the times. So John knows that we must be in the last days, because Jesus, in the scriptures, has told us that as the end of the age approaches there will be an increasing activity of antichrist. “Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” (Rev12:12) Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And because iniquity (lawlessness) shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. (Mt24:9,10,12) So in the end there is an increasing activity of evil. “And why does lawlessness cause love to grow cold?” Lawlessness means people will be hurting each other. Now when somebody does something harmful to you, does it tempt you to think that maybe God is not blessing you? A lot of people in the end of this age will be cursing God, because they will blame Him for the bad things that are happening. But God is not to blame for the lawlessness; He’s been telling people from the beginning to repent and do right. It isn’t His fault that lawlessness is abounding. The lawlessness is abounding because the people who are wicked won’t listen to God. It’s not God’s fault. But when bad things happen, foolish people tend to blame God and that’s a symptom of the end of the age that iniquity is abounding. So Jesus warned that as the end approaches there will be an increase in lawlessness. Well an increase in lawlessness is the same thing as an increase in antichrist. The antichrist spirit is a lawless and iniquitous spirit and it manifests in disobedience to God. And when disobedience to God increases, that’s what lawlessness is and that’s what antichrist is: the spirit of disobedience. But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, (2Ti3:1-4) Righteous laws are given to help keep people safe. When righteous laws are blatantly violated it creates a very dangerous society where many people will be hurt by the lawless ones. But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this: that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, (1Ti1:8-10) So as the end approaches things will become increasingly dangerous. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. (2Ti3:13) The final culmination is the appearing of the antichrist. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, (2The2:3) For unless there is an apostasy, unless there is an increase in the lawlessness, the antichrist would not be accepted when he appears. Notice the wickedness, the sexual escapades that went on in the Whitehouse during recent years – “Monica Lewinsky” etc. Had such things been made public concerning the behavior of our presidents in previous decades, the American people would have been incensed against the leaders and removed them quickly from office. But as society itself increases in wickedness so it will accept wicked leaders and even reject righteous ones. So when we see the moral degeneration of the society we can rightly conclude, because of the increase of iniquity, the increase of lawlessness, that things are being prepared for the antichrist to be revealed soon and we are certainly in the last hour and it is very near to the end. Now, concerning His church Jesus has given us a direct commandment and instruction about how to deal with offenders. “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’” (Mt18:15,16) As to “believers” who think they are in the “mystical church” when they are not in the visible church Jesus does not say, “go take a couple of mystical brothers with you.” Jesus is making a sure assumption here, that if you are a believer you are in the visible church and therefore have real visible brethren. So if a member of the church has offended against you; it’s a brother and therefore you are to confront him about his sin to straighten him out, and if he won’t hear you, you must take others to help deal with him so that his sin can be confirmed in the mouth of two or three witnesses. “And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.” (Mt18:17) But then Jesus says, "Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. "Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. "For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them." (Mt18:18-20) Now in virtually every church that pays attention to these “binding and loosing” and “agreement” scriptures they are used to bind the devil and loose the Spirit and to agree on things that we are asking God to do for us. Yet in reality these verses are directly connected to excommunication. When there is an offender in the church who will not hear the church and be corrected — “let him be to you as a heathen and a tax collector.” Or even, “Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. Your glorying is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump?” (1Co5:5-6) Jesus is telling the church to cast the offender out and have nothing to do with him anymore; he is no longer a part of the church. “And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell.” (Mt5:30) And Jesus is also saying that when you bind him from being a part of your church on earth, I will bind him from being a part of the church in heaven. He cannot get back into Christ’s church without repenting. "If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained." (Jn20:23) So the excommunicant is not going to leave your church and go to another church, that is Jesus’ church and be accepted. If he is not acceptable here in Christ’s true church, he will not be acceptable in any other true church of Christ. And if two of you agree as concerning anything that they do – for example: “When you are gathered together in the power of the Lord and His Spirit is present with you”, You are to AGREE, to do what? “To turn him over to the devil for the destruction of his flesh so that his spirit may be saved.” (1Co5:4-5) When you agree to do that, it’s done. Because if you loose the devil to destroy the offender’s flesh, then the devil is loosed. And what two or more true believers agree on, God will do. Now what the Spirit is showing us here is that these passages which are most commonly used in the churches to bind devils, were not put there particularly to bind devils, but they were put there to deal with unrepentant offenders in the church, and to cast out the offenders or to turn them over to satan. Jesus gave us this commandment to back up the authority of the church to maintain purity in the church and to get rid of those who will not listen to the church, God, the brethren, or the scriptures. The True church has extraordinary power to deal with unrepentant offenders, and that power ought to cause you to shake and tremble before the authority Jesus has given to His church. But that leads us to the question, “How is it possible that we can have fifteen churches in one neighborhood, and be able to do this?” Can it be possible to follow Matthew 18 when you have a multiplicity of churches in one geographical area all claiming to be of God and when an offender can be cast out of one church for good cause and just go to another? And let’s be reminded that Jesus’ Word is forever established in Heaven. Heaven and earth will pass away, but His Word won’t pass away. (Mt24:35) Then what Jesus is showing us here is that He is not foreseeing, nor in any way accommodating to a multiplicity of churches past, present or future, because this is an instruction as to how His church will always operate. And if He had a multiplicity of churches in one area, they couldn’t operate this way. When you have several churches in a neighborhood, and you cast an offender out of one church and he goes to another church across the street and they accept him, it would totally violate these scriptures. It cannot possibly happen, because even if the other “church” accepts him, Jesus cannot accept him, because Jesus says that what we bind on earth will be bound in heaven. So the offender cannot be accepted in Jesus’ true church. So if the church across the street can accept him, then the church across the street cannot be Jesus’ church. Furthermore, Jesus would never have two churches in one neighborhood that are both His; He would bring them together. Which takes us back to Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. (1Jn2:18,19) What did Ms. D do? She went out from us. Why did she go out from us? She was not of us. And what did John say that they are who go out from us? antichrist. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. (1Jn2:18-19) Do you know that Ms. D is antichrist? Does that seem like it’s strong language? Well it’s exactly what John is saying right there. Because we are of Christ, little children, this is how we know the spirit of error and the Spirit of Truth. Those who hear us are of God, because we know we are of God. (1Jn4:6) Ms. D doesn’t hear us. She is not of God. If she is not of God, it is because she is resisting God. She is anti-God. She is doing things that oppose what God wants to do. That’s antichrist. She is not going to leave us in her disobedience to God and go to another church and get to Heaven. She’s on her way to hell, because she’s antichrist. That is one point that this scripture makes very plainly—she went out from us, because she’s antichrist; she’s not in agreement with us or with God because we are in agreement with God. And this is how we know we are in the last days, that there are many antichrists; and when they go out from us they show themselves to be antichrist. Now in John’s day the same thing was going on. Some people who were in John’s church were leaving the church, because they were in disagreement with the truths that the church was showing them from God. Now the true church is teaching believers how to abide in the truth and be doers of God’s Word but these people were leaving the church, and they were joining or starting other churches, and they were going to have church in a different way than God’s way. And it is out of that, that the multiplicity of “churches” has come. What does that tell you that the multiplicity of churches really is? It’s antichrist! Every church that differs from Christ on any issue of true scriptural doctrine is an antichrist church. And Jesus does not recognize such places as His church. The instruction He is giving us as to how discipline is to be maintained in His church, particularly concerning offending members, cannot operate where you have a multiplicity of churches. It can only operate where you have His “one” true church. Then the question is today, do we really have a multiplicity of churches? Or is Christ’s church still “one” church? If this Word still applies to His church, then His church has to be “one” church then, today, now and forever. Now, what does that show us is the truth? Out of the multiplicity of “churches,” there really is among them only “one” real church that belongs to Christ. That’s the truth! There can be only “one.” In the beginning there was only one church and in the end there will be only “one” and all the others are the devil’s churches; they are antichrist! So even now, there is only one true church and only that one true church can bind and loose and “agree” according to Christ’s Word in Matthew 18. And when we bind, or cast somebody out of the true church, even if they go to another “church,” that doesn’t save them. Because they are not going to Christ’s true church but to a false antichrist church in which there is no salvation but only strong delusion. Jesus’ true church has the authority to bind and to loose, and to agree and Jesus backs up their discipline with His authority. Now, how many churches that claim to be Jesus’ will not excommunicate? And in the very fact that they will not cut off an unrepentant offender, they are showing that they are illegitimate. These who will not submit to chastening are illegitimate. But if you are without chastening, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate and not sons. (Heb12:8) So a “church” that will not chasten is also illegitimate. And a person who is cast out of the true church because of his offensive behavior may go to what calls itself a “church,” but it will not be God’s church. Think of it this way; if it was God’s church that they went to after leaving here, there would be believers in that church just like you and me, and they would handle the offender the same way we do according to scripture. Because if it were a true church that church would be led by the Spirit and following the same truths as we do. So Ms. D wouldn’t be any happier in another true church than she would be in this one, because any other true church would be doing what this one is doing and expecting her to comply and obey. Thus she has to find a false church to be accepted in her disobedience. To be “comfortable” she has to find a false church to attend and she’s not going to Heaven in a false church. This also shows us that we can still obey Jesus as in Matthew 18 and operate as though we are the only real church, because we are the only church. God never gives any indication whatsoever that He’ll ever allow there to be “two churches” in the way that we see today. John says, “We are the real one.” Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. (1Jn3:24) We have a testimony and we know we are the real church – we keep His commandments and He has given us His Spirit. Many other people claim to be His church, but do they have a testimony? If they don’t have His Spirit, they aren’t His! So only the real church has the authority to bind and loose, and to agree. And God has given us the power to do these things and He will back us up. He has given us the power to discipline, and He will back it up when we use it. The false church doesn’t have that power. There’s no need to be afraid of the false church, because He’s not in the midst of them. It doesn’t matter what they agree upon, because they disagree with Christ. They are powerless because they are disobedient in the first place. From this you should understand how dangerous it is to just assume, for example, that we are just another powerless church like all the others and you needn’t fear offending us. Because if we are the real church, we have extraordinary power to deal with offenders. Just because the other churches don’t have it, doesn’t mean we don’t. One thing that demonstrates the fact that we are the true church is we do have the power, because the true church has been given that power by Jesus according to these verses. This is a very, very important passage then, to determine who is or is not God’s true church. Since we are Christ’s church, then what He’s saying here applies to us, and we need to make sure we utilize that power appropriately when it’s necessary to deal with offenders or those who need chastenings. And as we have shown just because the offenders run to a different “church,” doesn’t mean this passage isn’t true. What is true is the different “church” they run to isn’t Christ’s church. This scripture will stand and that different “church” will fall. Since it is our business to make sure that we are the real church by obedience to Christ, and by faith in Christ, it is also our business then to believe what He says in His Word He will really do. Which means He will bind when we bind and loose when we loose. And He will do for us whatever we ask in agreement. And we are not to be confused or disturbed by all the multiplicity of false churches around us, which are merely an evidence of the extraordinary lateness of the hour, because they are all antichrist. If they were not antichrist they would be like us. They would be like Christ and growing more and more like Christ. They would be doing the things Christ says to do. Woe is me, that I dwell in Meshech, that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! (Ps120:5) The Psalmist here is lamenting that he is not among true brethren. “Woe is me, I’m living with Gentiles, sinners, heretics, idolaters.” My soul has dwelt too long with one who hates peace. I am for peace; but when I speak, they are for war. (Ps120:6,7) The elect have an anointing in them and they know what truth is because they are born of God. But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. (1Jn2:27) Which is the same as saying, you will abide in “truth”, because the anointing shows you what truth is so you can abide in truth. Jesus says, “I am the truth.” The truth in Christ is not an esoteric truth; He is and has the revelation of specific truth on every subject concerning which you could possibly need to know the truth. Christ is the Grand Architect of all the creation and He knows all about how all of it operates. He is the manufacturer of reality and reality is truth. And all truth is reality and whatever is not true is not reality. And Jesus has all the truth and all the reality. Now Jesus says there’s only one church and that’s the truth, that’s reality. There is one real church. The multiplicity of churches comes out of the activity of the antichrist spirit. Those multiplicities of churches are antichrist churches. They are not of the truth and they are not in agreement with God’s reality and the Holy Spirit of Truth is proving and demonstrating that. If you have the anointing to know the truth that John is talking about that makes you elect. That anointing will keep you in the truth, which truth is the very thing that the antichrist will be seducing people away from as you saw in The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2The2:9,10) Whereas the 1st John 2:27 people have received the love of the truth; and because they love truth they are going to follow the truth, and stay in the truth, and they have the anointing of the Spirit of truth in them. So what happens when a person with the truth in them gets put into the tents of Meshech and Kedar; Baptist’s, Catholic’s, Presbyterian’s, Faith movement, all of the antichrist churches, the lovers of lies? Well that person who loves truth will feel dreadfully out of place. How can light dwell with darkness? Love dwell with hatred? Truth with lies? And one of their biggest lies is when they say, “They aren’t antichrist, they love Jesus”. Here’s the truth; you put one little elect truth loving believer in with them, who gets up and says, “I think the bible says this” and immediately these false christians begin to shoot their arrows of lies and they criticize, and persecute and mock this little one who is standing for truth and then they tell us they’re not antichrist! You’ve got one person in there with Christ in them that stands up and starts speaking for the truth and the whole church turns on them! Go into a Baptist church and start talking to them about being baptized in the Holy Spirit and or about being “perfected” in Christ. – Go to a charismatic or Pentecostal church and tell them women are not to teach and have authority over men, (1Ti2:12) and see what they do to you. They will treat you like you are a devil, which is exactly what they accused Jesus of being, beelzebub, when He was doing the works of the Spirit. And you have a spiritual Christian go into a Baptist church; they treat that Christian like the devil. If you open your mouth, speak peace and try to get them to God’s truth to save their souls, they treat you like you’re trying to kill them. We’ve been there. We’ve seen it. They have done these wicked things to us. We know first hand. Some of them are louder than others. Some want to work in a friendlier way; some are more militant. But they are all Baptists. They are all antichrist. They all argue against the truth in some way. And they perform or permit the most vicious attacks upon the true Christians. And if they don’t participate actively they participate passively, allowing such things to go on in the “church” they attend and are loyal to and claim as their own. They are proud to be a Baptist. And real Christians can’t go into these churches without being attacked, because these people are not for Christ, they are antichrist. And they prove it by the way they treat the people who have the truth, and the way they react to the truth. They prove they are a multiplicity of antichrist churches. And in the midst of all of this is the true church, and we are it. Dwelling in the midst of the tents of Meshech and Kedar. But there is only one true church and this is the foolishness of these people; they claim, “Well there is only one true church, so we all, every church, must be in it,” and the truth is, there’s only “one true church” and only the “one true church” is in it! The others aren’t and it’s the one nation that keeps the truth, the nation that keeps righteousness that may enter in. In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: “We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls and bulwarks. Open the gates, that the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in.” (Is26:1-2) Only the ones who love the truth will keep the truth and only the ones who love the truth are preparing for the coming of the Lord. Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. (1Jn2:18) If John says in his day 2000 years ago, that he can tell it’s the last hour because of the many antichrists then I can tell you we are in the “last minutes.” Look at the multiplicity of the antichrists today and you can know that we are down to the last minutes. The door could close at any time, and you had better get in the one true church before it does. Prophecy: Truly saith the Lord, These are the days of “My Father’s House.” These are the days of the glory of the church called “My Father’s House” and those who are bringing down the lies and the deceptions, who are uncovering that which is of Me and that which is not of Me. Who are showing forth spiritual Christianity and setting free the captives and bringing home the promised children. This is your day, saith the Lord, for I have raised you up and I have brought you forth for this time and this cause. You are My beachhead, My battle weapons, the standard I raise against the enemy’s flood. You are the hill upon which I sit. You are My resting place. You are Zion and you are My church. You are a shining light in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation. You are the city of the living God, a refuge and a resting place for all who would do righteousness. And I tell you My people, in you I work, because I have raised you up and now I will go forth against this wicked and perverse generation through you. And I have already begun and am going forth in a mighty and awesome way. And I will set free the captives, I will set free the elect, I will set free those who have been lost and who have been smitten in the wicked and perverse church, fighting and battling to survive, because they came in under the guise of the deceit that they thought they were among allies, of the deceit that they thought they were among the righteous, that they thought they were among the true Christians but they found themselves surrounded by enemies because the people who said they were brethren wore a false clothing and then when My children came in all that they got was bombardments of bullets, they got hails of arrows, insults and lies, and they’ve been fighting ever since, waiting for the cavalry to come over the hill, waiting for the extraction team. Well, you are the extraction team; you are the cavalry. That is what I have raised you up for and in this I have revealed to you that the false brethren went out from among you, because they were not of you. But now, watch what will happen. The Elect will come out from among the false, because My elect are not of them, and I will fully expose every one of these wicked churches that they are not of Me, and My Elect will be set free, saith the Lord. (Prophecy delivered at "My Father's House") One of the righteous judgments of God is that He does to you as you do to others and we see that where Adoni-Bezek cut off the thumbs and great toes of the kings he had conquered, and then when Joshua conquers him, and Joshua cuts off his thumbs and great toes Adoni says, “As I’ve done to others so it’s been done to me.” (Judg1:7) And he sees the righteousness of God in it, because the Lord rewards you according to your works. (Ro2:6) The golden rule is, as you want people to do unto you, you do unto them, (Mt7:12) because the fact is that’s what God will do unto you. He will treat you as you have treated others. But in that is the justice and judgment of God. And in so many places we see that, for example, He brings judgment upon Babylon because of what they’ve done to His people, destroying Jerusalem and taking the survivors captive. But Babylon is going to reap what they’ve sown. And over and over this kind of thing shows up in the scriptures. And yet in spite of all these examples in scripture and admonitions and even Jesus Himself calling His people to a Godly behavior – most “so-called” churches and “christians” today equate behavior with works and claim they do not need to behave properly to be saved. Now that is antichrist! Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and the church in John’s day had been warned of the coming of the antichrist. And even the “Baptists” today seem well aware the antichrist is coming. But what they do not realize is, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. (1Jn2:18) And they themselves are the antichrists that even now have already come. They are antichrist and they don’t know it yet they think they will recognize the antichrist when he comes in the final fulfillment. And we’ve seen how the multiplicity of churches is a manifestation of the many antichrists and that every church that has departed from the doctrine of Jesus Christ as it is expressed in the Bible and through the apostles is an antichrist church. Now if they don’t recognize the antichrists of today how will they know the antichrist of tomorrow? Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ does not have God. He who abides in the doctrine of Christ has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; (2Jn9,10) John is still talking about the antichrists here. “Many antichrists have come.” (1Jn2:18) They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. (1Jn2:19) In John’s day this scripture refers to people who’ve left the real church to join a false one. Today it can also apply to those who leave a true church to join a heretical church. But this scripture should not be limited to “geography” in its interpretation, for example, Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away. (Acts13:1-3) Here they went out from us, but they are “of us.” The geographical departure is not the issue. The departure that is the issue that the Apostle John is warning about centers on a spiritual or doctrinal departure, not just a geographical departure. So the antichrists are those who have gone out from us having a doctrinal dispute. And a doctrinal dispute means that something that God is saying a real Christian ought to do, they don’t want to do. Now we’ve seen how many scriptures are commanding the church to be of the same mind, Nevertheless, to the degree that we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us be of the same mind. (Phil 3:16) Now I plead with you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment. (1Co1:10) The true church is to be in unity. Jerusalem is a city compacted together. (Ps122:3) The people are all listening to the same God, hearing the same Spirit, and they are believing and doing the same things. And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread. (1Co10:3-4,17) So if somebody is in disagreement with the church and they argue with the church concerning the things God is leading the church to do, that disagreeable one is no longer doctrinally located in the same place as the true believers are. Now Ms. D left our congregation recently, but we had known months before she left that she was not one of us. She has never been one of us. She was only geographically located here, but spiritually she was somewhere else, and we’ve always known that about her. When she finally moved out geographically it was no surprise because she’s never really been here anyway. Her heart has never been in unity with the brethren, she’s always made excuses to do things her way instead of Gods way. Now Ms. D is antichrist. She’s antichrist because what Christ is telling His church to do she refuses to do. That’s what makes you antichrist. She elevates her own “wisdom” above Christ and rejects Him and what He says in favor of her own ideas. So she is her own “antichrist” who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2The2:4) Jesus is not her head. You are “antichrist” if Jesus commands you to do something and you are not willing to do it. So how many “churches” today do not abide in the doctrine of Christ? How many instructions in the Bible are the doctrines of Christ? Everything! I’ve given you the whole counsel of God, so my hands are free from the blood of all men; (Acts20:26-27) everything that the Bible tells you to do is a doctrine of Christ because Jesus’ Spirit is the one who spoke the Word. Searching what, or what manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was in them was indicating when He testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ and the glories that would follow. (1Pe1:11) Anything the Bible tells you to do and you refuse to do it, that issue makes you antichrist. On the scripture that you refuse to believe and obey, you become antichrist. On that verse you are anti-the Word of God. For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. (Jas2:10) Likewise if you reject one point of what Jesus requires you are guilty of rejecting Jesus. What is the Word of God? Jesus. You don’t have to be anti everything in the Bible to be antichrist. You can choose which issue you want to become antichrist on. Any truth you choose to reject makes you antichrist, because to have Jesus as Lord you are going to obey Him in all things. (Acts3:22) That’s what makes Him Lord that your obedience to Him is complete because He is Lord of some. No! Because He is Lord of all. Well, Ms. D would have Him be Lord of some. We don’t have such a Christ. That’s not the doctrine of Christ, to be Lord of some things. He is Lord of all things or He isn’t your Lord, and in “My Father’s House” church He is Lord of all things. As Sarah called Abraham Lord, the bride of Christ calls Jesus Lord in all things and she submits to Him in all things. If you can understand that, you can see that antichrist is defined by departure, not so much geographically from the true church, but a departure from the true gospel, departure from the truth of the scriptures. So you can see very plainly that indeed the contemporary “churches” have all departed from the truth. And wherever any “church” departs in some major area from the truth of God, that makes them an antichrist church. Furthermore, when someone comes along who holds on to the truth of God’s Word and begins to explain to them the truth of God’s Word, and you see that they do not repent and gladly receive the truth, but in actuality they very strongly resist the truth, that again proves that they’re not just elect people like Apollos who need a little bit more accurate information but they are contrary to the truth and antichrist. When Apollos was given a more accurate version of the gospel he took hold of it and that’s what makes him Elect. (Acts18:24-27) When you come to these antichrist churches and the antichrist people in them, and you give them a more accurate interpretation, they resist it. They say, “nobody’s perfect” when you try to show them perfectionism is required in the scriptures. They rise up against the scriptural truth. They are antichrist and anti-perfectionism and they are anti-God’s Word. On the subject of perfection they don’t want to hear the gospel. Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God. (1Jn3:9) How many churches believe that? Well, I believe it and I understand it. And I understand that the New Man cannot sin, He’s been created in true righteousness and godliness. So if you are sinning you are in the OLD man not the new. But the antichrist “churches” don’t understand this. They resist that truth and they will not look into it to see how it can be true. They totally reject it. The people in these antichrist churches would prefer that 1st John wasn’t in the Bible; they would love to rip it out, even as Luther hated the book of James. Well, how can Luther be of Christ? Christ Jesus loves the book of James. Jesus’ Spirit in James wrote the book of James. How can Luther be of Christ when he hates the book that Jesus loves and writes? Do you think Luther was a great man of God? No, he was a mighty antichrist. A mighty antichrist who has his own agenda separate from God’s agenda. He saw some major things that were wrong with the Roman catholics, but he didn’t return completely to God. He did not return to the whole truth himself, but he stayed out there in the antichrist realm, departing from the living God because of a hardened heart. One of the other issues he departed from God on was in retaining infant baptism. He should have known better. The Anabaptist church, the true church of God in Luther’s day, had the truth on baptism and he knew their doctrine. But he wouldn’t receive it. He wanted to depart from the wicked Catholics but he wasn’t willing to join with God’s true church of that time, the Anabaptists. So he created his own antichrist church – the Lutherans. Luther was not a true man of God. – A true man of God makes Jesus his Lord in all that He says, everything. Now, right after the prophecy we showed you some scripture that proves God rewards you according to your works and God returns upon the wicked, their own wickedness. And we see that one of the lies that confuses many “believers” today is when they see the condition of the multiplicity of churches – and they all differ from the scriptures in so many things and seem to be alike in so many other things. The thought is that God has to accept them as they are because there isn’t anything else He can do. So they have to be ok with God because they are all He has. This is the way human wisdom thinks, but you could have looked around in Noah’s day and come to the same conclusion. God has to accept the wickedness of the peoples because everybody is doing it. But the truth is God was going to wipe the whole thing out, and He preserved just one righteous family; Noah’s. And He will do the same today. You can’t look at numbers and think that God has to be with the majority. God is never with the unrighteousness no matter how many they are. He is always with the righteous no matter how few they are. And what the people are missing is seasons. The “believers” today don’t understand times and seasons. (Mt16:2-3) In Paul’s days there was one church in the earth, there were no other churches; the church had just been born. Any city you went to if there was a Christian church in that city, that church had the same doctrine as any other Christian church in any other city. For this reason I have sent Timothy to you, who is my beloved and faithful son in the Lord, who will remind you of my ways in Christ, as I teach everywhere in every church. (1Co4:17) They were all one in the Spirit. They had problems that needed correction, (Acts15) but they were zealous to resolve any disputes so they could remain in unity with one another. There was one church. If you got thrown out of the church in Corinth, you were out of the whole of Christ’s church. There was no other church to go to. And if you went over to Thessalonica, somebody from Corinth would have told on you and they would have thrown you out of Thessalonica too. If you went to church in Thessalonica because you were visiting there from Corinth, you were still in the one church, and what they preached and believed in Thessalonica would not differ from what you were hearing and receiving in Corinth; the churches were all in agreement. And that’s the way it has to be in the end. If Jesus is to come for His bride she has to be a church in true unity for Him to have a glorious church without spot or wrinkle. (Eph5:27) And you may look around and think how is God going to solve this problem when there are such a multiplicity of “churches?” How is He going to get them all to come back and be one church again? And the answer is He’s not. These multitudinous churches were never His churches to begin with. The “multiplicity” are the antichrist churches. Jesus has always had only one true church and in the end He will raise up His one true church, and multiply her and increase His one church, and He will wipe out the antichrist churches; because they are not His. But what He will be doing as He is raising up His one true church is He’ll be calling the Elect out of the antichrist churches. Right now because there hasn’t been a highly visible true church for them to see and come to, most of the elect have been scattered amongst the gentile “unbelievers,” amongst this multitude of antichrist churches, which is very similar to the ancient situation of the Jews being scattered amongst the gentiles with all their various pagan religions. (1Pe1:1; Deu30:1-4) In the Apostle John’s time, the devil’s strategies; the gates of hell, against God’s church was to seduce “believers” away from the true church. And these “antichrists” would join or start new false churches which were no longer of the one true church. They would depart from the faith and that’s what John is warning against; particularly in: Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us. (1Jn2:18-19) They would go out because they don’t like what John is preaching, and if they don’t like something John is preaching then they don’t like what Paul is preaching, or what Peter is preaching. Because John, Paul and Peter are in unity and so are all the churches they and the other true apostles shepherd. So the antichrists would go out from the true church and they would start false churches of their own, which did not comply with certain truths that God was telling the true church to obey. And because the antichrists didn’t want to obey God they would do it their way in their own antichrist churches but then they would try to convince people they were really of God. And part of what 1st John was written for was to assure the true church these antichrists are not of God; don’t follow them out; don’t let them lead you astray. We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one. And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us an understanding, that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. (1Jn4:6;5:19-20) “Little children, keep yourselves from false gods, false christs, false churches.” (v21) You can also see the many warnings where Paul says, Men will rise up among you, speaking perverse things (Acts20:30) “In cunning craftiness by which they lie in wait to deceive.” (Eph4:14) And Peter warns how with covetousness they’ll exploit you. (2Pe2:3) And Jesus also warns “For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.” (Mt24:24) Now do you think these prophecies have been dormant, asleep all these years, as though they are yet to be fulfilled sometime in the future? Fools and slow of heart to believe! The deceivers have already come. What Jesus, Peter and Paul prophesied has been fulfilled. These false teachers are already ravishing the flocks. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. (2Pe2:2) The false christians are trying to seduce you now. You go to Proverbs and you can see the false church is the immoral woman, trying to draw the simple away from the truth. And if you leave the paths of wisdom to go to her there is no return. It’s death to you. To deliver you from the immoral woman, from the seductress who flatters with her words, Who forsakes the companion of her youth, and forgets the covenant of her God. For her house leads down to death, and her paths to the dead; None who go to her return, nor do they regain the paths of life-- (Prov 2:16-19) Forsakes the companion of her youth – the true Christ and Spirit of the early apostolic church. God said in Joel that He would pour out His Spirit upon His people in the latter days. And Peter quoted from Joel on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was given. And according to Joel and Peter visions and dreams and prophesies and such as that are the proof that the Spirit has been poured out. (Acts2:17-18) So any church that claims to have the Holy Spirit must have visions, dreams, prophecies and such. And you can see here in “My Father’s House” we have an abundance of these blessings of the Spirit. Even many of our youngest children are prophesying. (See Glory of His Grace/ Bid Me Come) As a true church we have not forsaken the companion of our youth. But on that subject I was napping just before church today, and I woke up around a quarter past six. I had asked the Lord to wake me up before the service so I could prepare, and He woke me up in the middle of a dream. And in the dream I saw one of our church’s children witnessing to a neighbor and her husband and the child was telling them what was happening in the true church and he was talking about how we have many prophecies. But suddenly the neighbor’s husband rose up and said, “Prophecy has been done away with.” And when I heard that I interrupted and I started giving the neighbor “what for.” I said, “prophecy is not done away with. Joel said concerning true believers, “your sons and daughters will prophesy.” You don’t read your Bible. Your antichrist church has taught you that prophecy is done away with, and they don’t have prophecy, because they are against God and they don’t have the Holy Spirit and they teach you things that are lies. But we have the Holy Spirit and our children do prophesy even as the Bible says they will.” And this all went on in my dream, and then I said, “because your church says prophecy has been done away with, if you believe them then when I prophesy you will say that I am a false prophet, won’t you? And because you say that I’m a false prophet you would say then, ‘the source of your prophecy is the devil.’” And do you know what you’ve done when you do that? You have blasphemed the Holy Spirit, because I’m prophesying by the Holy Spirit, and you’ve just encountered the Holy Spirit prophesying through a Holy man of God, and because your church has taught you that prophecy has been done away with – you’ve been led to one lie that leads to another. The first lie is that prophecy has been done away with which leads to the next lie—that if I prophesy I must not be a Holy man of God and so I must be a deceived person and therefore if I’m deceived it must be the devil speaking through me. And now you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit! Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, "This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons." "If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? "And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.” “Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come.” (Mt12:24,26-28,31-32) Now, what would an antichrist church do? Wouldn’t it lead its people to blaspheme the Holy Spirit; to damn them, to condemn them? If you blaspheme the Holy Spirit you’ve been damned now; you have committed the unforgivable sin! Upon awakening, I knew that God was going to bring this out in the service tonight. He was showing me how damnable these antichrist churches are. This was just as clear a dream as when Paul wanted to know where to go and he saw the man from Macedonia saying “come here and help us” (Acts16:9) and he deducted “we should go to Macedonia.” Well, that’s a reasonable deduction. I suppose he could have ignored the vision. But Paul knows that the Holy Spirit often communicates through dreams and visions and I realize that too. Jesus has just given us a great and a major breakthrough in understanding what is really going on in so-called christendom of today. And we have broken through to see that most of these so-called churches have departed from the Word of God, the Truth, and that is exactly what the Bible in the book of 1st John defines as “antichrist;” those who have departed from us and the true gospel of Christ. Some of them may have never heard the truth but when they hear the truth if they do not return to it and when they are shown what is wrong with their churches if they don’t return to the true church that also makes them antichrist. And in such “churches” when somebody comes along who does something contrary to their lies, instead of repenting the devil just takes them from one lie to another until he causes them to damn themselves by committing the unpardonable sin. Prophecy cannot be done away with because it was prophesied that it would be one of the signs that the Holy Spirit was poured out upon “all flesh.” Unless the Holy Spirit has been done away with; prophecy hasn’t been done away with. Dreams and visions haven’t been done away with. The Bible says your sons and daughters; your descendants would prophesy. (Acts2:17-18) It didn’t mean just the first generation to receive the Spirit. It says “in the latter days” and that means up to the end. It says your descendants will prophesy. There is no possible way you can explain this to agree with the Baptist lies. And now we find entire congregations which the antichrist has convinced that prophecy has been done away with and as long as they believe that, when they encounter somebody who prophesies; they’re in a trap. Because either you better stop believing what your antichrist churches have taught you, or you are going to be led to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. And that is what your antichrist church is teaching you to do. Your antichrist church is setting you up to damn you. A real church would not be doing that; only the antichrist would do such a thing. He’s putting the 666 on these people. That’s what the antichrist does in the book of Revelation, and that’s what the antichrist does today. (Rev13:16-18; 14:9-11) Now think of this—you may not have the 666 branded on your head, but if you have blasphemed the Holy Spirit, you’re just as damned as if you did. So, what’s the antichrist doing? He is damning these false christians with an invisible 666, and causing them by the lies he’s teaching them to blaspheme the Holy Spirit; and they are stepping right into the trap, because why? Because it’s just like the people who will take the 666; they don’t love the truth, so they don’t know better. They don’t read their Bibles. When I was young in my Christianity, in a Pentecostal church, somebody was lamenting how terrible it’s going to be when the people take the 666, and how they were going to be damned, and I said “I’m not crying over it. God says they are damned; He’s the judge and they must be worthy to be damned. If God’s going to damn them then they must be worthy to be damned.” And this person said, “Oh Bill, you shouldn’t say that! You should feel sorry for them!” And I said “ You people don’t know God, He isn’t feeling sorry for them so why should I. God is doing to them exactly what they deserve.” Do you love justice? Do you love righteousness and hate evil? Then you aren’t going to feel sorry for them. It’s the wicked who weep when Babylon falls. “The kings of the earth who committed fornication and lived luxuriously with her will weep and lament for her, when they see the smoke of her burning,” (Rev18:9) The righteous rejoice. “Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you holy apostles and prophets, for God has avenged you on her!” (Rev18:20) There isn’t going to be any weeping among the saints when the wicked go to hell; we’re going to be cheering! GLORY TO JESUS! GLORY TO JESUS! He’s defeated the enemy! He sent them where they belong! "To take part in this ministry and apostleship from which Judas by transgression fell, that he might go to his own place." (Acts1:25) They go to their place and we go to ours. Do you think God’s justice is not perfect? Do you think He hasn’t utilized every possible means to bring these people to salvation? And their sin is incurable. They hate truth. They hate good. (2Ti3:5) They hate God. Their condemnation is just. (Ro3:8) So God will save the children of God, and destroy the children of the devil. GLORY TO HIS NAME! If you are among the condemned it’s because you haven’t read your Bible; that’s why you will take the 666. You haven’t thought enough of God to even read or believe the Bible for yourself, that’s why you will blaspheme the Holy Spirit. You have gone to churches that have led you to damnation, because those churches are the immoral woman of the book of Proverbs and she flattered and seduced you, and her paths lead to hell. (Pr 2:16-19;7:27) Now, this is what the immoral woman did in the days of John. She seduced people out of the real church, so the demons could build myriads of antichrist churches until today, that’s virtually all you see is antichrist churches. Now this is what Jesus is doing today. He’s drawing people out of the antichrist churches to the truth, and He’s building His real church again. He’s doing to them what they did to Him. You will not save these antichrist churches – they are damned. Most of them are filled with people who have blasphemed the Holy Spirit already. God is not sending His elect into the antichrist church to save the wicked. God is calling His elect out of the antichrist church so He can save His elect. And I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you share in her sins, and lest you receive of her plagues. For her sins have reached to heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.” (Rev18:4-5) In the same way that the wicked one drew the false christians out of the true church and into the antichrist churches, the righteous One is drawing the elect out of the false churches and into the true. And that’s what you see happening with Kim & Dave, and all the testimonies we have here in the saints of “My Father’s House.” We all began in the antichrist churches, but something inside of us knew we weren’t hearing the truth there. And the Spirit of Truth kept working on us until Jesus pulled us out of the antichrist church and used us to start building His true church. He is going to do the same with the rest of the elect; He’s calling them out and adding them to His true church, and He will glorify His true church, and show that she’s His true church. In Isaiah’s day we see a similar pattern. In transgressing and lying against the LORD, and departing away from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood. And judgment is turned away backward, and justice standeth afar off: for truth is fallen in the street, and equity cannot enter. Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment. (Is59:13-15) So there are the antichrist churches but now what Jesus does is He raises up a banner; when the enemy comes in like a flood. According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense. So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him. (Is59:18-19) He raises up a banner like the Glory of His Grace and raises up the truth again and draws His people to the truth. And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. (v20) Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head; Because you have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried into your temples My prized possessions. (Joel 3:4,5) So also today the antichrist churches have taken God’s silver and gold and carried them into their temples, just like Nebuccadnezer took the vessels from the temple in Jerusalem and brought them to Babylon. Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem you have sold to the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their borders. (Joel 3:6) And many of the elect today are captive to “Greek” religion. What do the Greeks represent in the New Testament? The Greeks seek after wisdom. (1Co1:22) Greek religion is all in your head. Greek religion is completely composed of information. They think that what you know saves you; it’s not faith, it’s knowledge. And if anyone thinks that he knows anything, he knows nothing yet as he ought to know. (1Co8:2) What’s going on in the churches around us? They think they are saved by knowing certain things, not by having the faith to do the Word of God or have Christ actually live His righteous life in them. (Gal 2:20) Their knowledge is not converted into the “hearing of faith” and they do not know Jesus in the doing of His Word. “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life.” (Jn5:39-40) The Greeks do not have a testimony. They say Jesus is in them, but they cannot prove it or give you a testimony that shows that He is. They say they are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, but they cannot give you a testimony that shows the righteousness manifesting in them. They say they are sanctified, but ask them to prove it, ask them to show you something that indicates sanctification is real in their lives—they have no testimony. Revelation 12 says the true saints overcome by the word of their testimony. (v11) The true saints have a testimony to the truth. Hebrews 11 says these all have received a testimony through faith. (v39) Faith produces a testimony. The false churches claim to have things that God says true Christians have, but the false christians have no testimony of having them. They only claim to have them because the Bible says that saints have them and they claim to be saints, but they don’t have any real proof that they’re saints so everything they claim to have and to be is a lie. Everything they do is a lie so who is their father? Jesus says, “Their father is the devil…he was a liar from the beginning.” (Jn8:44) Whereas the true Christian, the things he claims to have, he examines himself to see if he really has them. (2Co13:5) And if he does have them there is a confirmation; there is a testimony that proves that he has them. So the Holy Spirit gave me a dream in order to strengthen me and direct me in the message He intended for me to bring out tonight. Just like Paul because of his vision knew that he was going to Macedonia, I knew this was God’s message for His church tonight and He would also put it in “The Glory of His Grace.” This is a strong message so God gave me strong assurances and confirmed that it is indeed Him. God is doing this. He is putting these things together. Daily the proof is getting stronger! Everyday the confirmations, the testimonies, the doctrines, the attacks God’s truth is waging against the lies are getting stronger. And the proof that what God has given us is right and what the false churches have is wrong; that proof is getting stronger and stronger until it is irrefutable. The hammer of God’s Word is crushing the rock of their antichrist lies. Their churches teach you how to lie, and how to say you have what you don’t have, but the true church teaches you how to take hold of the truth, to get the real thing, so that when you say you have it, you know you have it and your confession is backed up by strong evidence and testimonies. Will you retaliate against Me? But if you retaliate against Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head; Because you have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried into your temples My prized possessions. Also the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem you have sold to the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their borders. (Joel 3:4,5,6) The false church, the “Greek” church, the antichrist church teaches their people to believe mere words. Having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! (2Ti3:5) Instead of a religion of faith in the power of God, the antichrist causes people to trust in mere words. Where Paul says true believers should have a faith in God’s power. For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of no effect (power). And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1Co1:17,2:4,5) But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word (speech) of those who are puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. (1Co4:19,20) Many of the elect have been delivered into the Greek’s temples. The Greeks are all into mere information and they say you are saved because of what you know, not because of the power of God. And it’s a lie, for the true Gospel is the power of God unto salvation. (Ro1:16) The true Gospel power “changes” the believer and makes him the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus (2Co5:21) by the power of the Spirit of Christ to subdue all things (including ourselves) unto Himself. (Phil 3:21) So God says, “I will raise them out of the place to which you sold them” Well, Dave and Kim, did God raise you out of the place to which you were sold? Elie, did God raise you out of the place to which you were sold? How many people here did God raise you out of the place to which you were sold? You were sold to a foreign god, but God took you back. Bless His Name! You see what God said He would do in the book of Joel, He is already doing. This is revelation. People read the book of Joel and they think sometime in the future this will happen or you think, “When is this going to happen?” It’s already happening. It’s a part of our Christian experience, our testimony. The churches we were in were antichrists and they were foreign gods, but God took us out of them. He saved us from those foreign gods, but look what else He’s doing. But if you retaliate against Me, swiftly and speedily I will return your retaliation upon your own head; (Joel 3:4) You heretical wicked Baptists; you pagan antichrist churches, God is doing to you as you have done. I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off; for the LORD has spoken." (Joel 3:8) Well, we are the people of Judah and God sold Jeff and Laurie into our hands, and He sold Dave and Kim into our hands. Everybody here has been sold to us. Brenda has been sold into our hands. Dave, how much contact do you have with your apostate mother? She’s lost you because God took you away from her to get even for her trying to take you away from Him. He retaliated. And we all know how that wicked woman fought against the truth and tried to keep you in the antichrist church with her, but God prevailed. And the same goes for Kim and Jeff and Laurie and Gina. Now Sabeans are the same as Shebaites. Who are the Shebaites? Dave and Kim, you have been sold to the Shebaites. What do you think of when you hear Sheba? The Queen of Sheba was willing to leave everything behind to get to the truth. She traveled hundreds of miles on camel back to taste of the wisdom of Solomon. What is Dave doing? Leaving everything behind for the truth. Your mother may never see you again, because you’ve left her country of lies to travel a far distance to God’s land of truth and you’ve joined the Shebaites. You’ve become one of the Shebaites because you are one of those people who will go after the truth no matter how far you have to go to get it. And you’ve obeyed Jesus when He says, “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.” (Mt10:37) And you’ve left behind these people who Jesus says, in the judgment, the Queen of Sheba will rise up against them because, there was a greater one than Solomon here and they wouldn’t listen to Him. This passage is being fulfilled right now and it will be fulfilled in an even greater degree very shortly. God is retaliating against the wicked antichrist churches who have taken His gold and silver and have stolen His children from Him and He is now taking their children away from them and He will not give them back. Therefore thus says the LORD: “If you return, then I will bring you back; you shall stand before Me; if you take out the precious from the vile, you shall be as My mouth. Let them return to you, but you must not return to them.” “I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible.” (Jer15:19,21) Blessed be the Name of the Lord! Prophecy: Thus saith the Lord, Why is it over and over again, you see the one who loves me the most, the one who is most serious about learning of Me, is the one I take out of the establishment “churches.” Why would I take them out of these “churches” if these churches were acceptable to Me? Why do I take the best and the good out of them and leave the inferior? Isn’t it plain to see that these churches are not acceptable to Me and they are not good enough for My elect. And when one rises up above the wickedness, and the corruption and the pollution in these false churches; and when one shows himself to be better than they are, I choose that one and take that one out as gold from dross and I bring him to My true church; for that one is fit by his rejection of what is inferior, he is fit for what is superior. And I take him to My church where he can be made acceptable to Me. Now isn’t it plain to see these so-called “churches” around you are not acceptable to Me, and I am not trying to make them acceptable. But I am delivering the captives who can be made acceptable to Me and taking them to My true church where they will be made perfectly acceptable to Me, saith the Lord. Prophecy: I tell you My people, you have seen My revelation in My Word is already coming to pass for you here. And what you have seen and what you are partaking of is only the beginning. For I am using you here My church, to rebuild the ruins, to reestablish My ways in the earth and to bring forth those things which were hidden, in manifesting and demonstrating them through your faith and through your witness. And because of your faith, and because of your witness and because of the truth that I have established in your hearts, My elect will now come streaming home. And this will not be a small work, but it will be a work that all will see. This work will not be hidden; for it has not been hidden what the enemy has done, and because what the enemy has done has been very open, what I will do, will be very open and all who have believed the false ways and have tried to sweep the truth under their rugs, will be shamed and exposed. They are being shamed and exposed even now; ever stronger, every day. So gird up the loins of your faith My people and let Me manifest through you, shouting from the rooftops the things that I have been revealing to you—for My elect will hear when you stand and you show forth the things that I have given you, that they may be set free. Do the work that I have called you to My people and be strong in My grace, for I am with you as a mighty and awesome one to bring forth all I have shown you and all that pertains to your becoming My glorious church, saith the Lord. Prophecy: Thus saith the Lord, to you My children at “My Father’s House,” I’ve heard your prayers and crying out to Me, and seeing the need for Me to manifest in power and miracles and signs and wonders, because of the false and wicked antichrist churches who deny the workings of My Spirit, who are saying such things have passed away. But I say to you My children, that every time a prophecy is published in the “Glory of His Grace,” it is Me showing forth that what they believe to not be true, is true. And recently when I moved upon your Pastor Bill to publish prophecies from Rebekah, 11 years old, and Sarah, 13 years old, in the “Glory of His Grace” Bid Me Come issue, it was Me slapping the faces of those who deny the operations of My Spirit. For all can look and see that My Word says in the last days I will pour out My Spirit and your sons and your daughters will prophesy. And here it is true. But they say, “No, that is not for today, it’s been done away with.” I say to you, I slap the faces of those who would think that, and I am showing them that I am pouring My Spirit out in this place, and your sons and daughters are prophesying in this church that I’ve called “My Father’s House” and I say to you, as you have been admonished to gird up the loins of your faith, I will surely move in mighty signs and wonders as you do so. Trust in Me that I will speak greater and deeper and stronger, and more revelatory prophecies in you than ever before. Trust in Me that I will bring forth miracles, and signs and wonders as you look to Me through the hearing of faith to manifest awesomely. For I say to you that not only are My elect going to know that I am in “My Father’s House” through the revelations that are coming forth through the “Glory of His Grace”, through Me bringing down the lies and revealing the truth, and revealing the enemies in their midst, but I tell you they will know that the Lord is in “My Father’s House” because they see the Word that they read being fulfilled in this place, and that My Spirit is truly here, and your sons and daughters are prophesying, and healings are taking place and I say, I shall increase these things awesomely that My elect children may see and know that I the Lord am here.
