lightbulb went off in my spirit, remaining there like a
hard rock for the next 33 years.
The word of God has been heard around the world. There is
no where that the name of Jesus is not known. To preach is
not to stand behind a pulpit with a sermon. To preach is
"to proclaim" or simply "to tell the story of Jesus."
Where in this world are you going to find ANYONE who has
not heard the story of Jesus? The real problem today is
that those who "have heard the word in church" simply do
not understand it. I am willing to say that 95% of
churchfolk do not understand either repentance, rebirth, or
the resurrection. Without an understanding, they are not
saved, yet they believe that they are because "they have
given heed to doctrines of devils." The worst of all the
doctrines of devils is the sinner's prayer and the
invitation to Christian discipleship---doctrines suggesting
that by MAN'S choice, he can enter the kingdom of God.
Whatever happened to "no man is saved of himself, salvation
is a gift from God, lest any man boast that "I accepted
Jesus." No. We don't accept Jesus. HE ACCEPTS US,
CHOOSING US OUT OF HIS OWN SOVEREIGN WILL.

When your OWN eyes have finally been opened, look
out!!! Being deceived by church leaders can be taken as
a personal insult when you perceive that you have been
duped: bamboozled, run a muck, gone astray,
hoodwinked, made a fool of. Don't even go there in your
thoughts about all of that hard earned money we put into
the hands of religious demons. Lord, Help!!!! In my
own case, truth has been so liberating that it has not
mattered that it took 30 years to find. I have pressed on
and I no longer look back. I certainly don't cry over spilt
milk when the Lord has so much meat to share!
