Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I greet you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Lord
and Saviour! Grace, mercy and love from the Father and the Son be upon you.
In these days all sorts of Christian information flows
into my life some of it really encouraging like testimonies of salvation into
God's Kingdom, or miracles of healing and deliverance.
I also get to see and hear of an increasing amount of
gross error that you should also be informed about as it may already be on your
street ready to knock at your door.
Jesus has laid an urgency on my heart to warn people of
the dangers all around. Its a veritable minefield and we must follow the narrow
path formed by the footprints of Jesus to keep from straying into disaster.
This week we have read of huge church movements that do
NOT conform to the Christianity of the Bible. They believe they are right and
those who try to point out the flaws are unenlightened.
From the earliest times, from Book of Numbers our God has
utterly rejected a mixture of different faiths or blending of religions with
His Truth. He calls it offering strange fire on His altar. Under the Law you
died if you did it. Under Grace you will be forgiven if you come out from among
them and be separated unto the Father.
Solomon was the wisest King until he took many wives of
different cultures and beliefs to be his wives. They caused him to lose favour
with God when he got mixed up in their opposing faiths. The prophets warned
Israel if they sinned through idolatry of another God they would be captured by
their enemies and become slaves for many long years.
They were oppressed by Pharoah in Egypt for 400 years; in
Babylon for 70 years etc. Then God would bring them back to their own land. For
rejecting Jesus when He was in Israel their exile was nearly 2000 years.
Since Jesus came and died to save us, and gave us true
teachings to live by, first the Roman Catholics mixed Christianity with the
Babylonian religion causing worship of Mary and saints and changing the truth
into a lie. Then the Protestants broke
away in 16th and 17th century Reformation but now have an Insider Movement by
which "converts" to Christianity remain Muslim or Buddhist or Hindu
to work from the inside to convert others.
Its like telling an alcoholic trying to overcome his
drinking problem to spend his free time in bars to stop others from drinking!
Or telling a reformed prostitute that to win other prostitutes and customers to
Jesus she should continue to ply her trade!
The Interfaith Movement is growing at high speed and the
insider Movement will very soon join up with it, if it hasn't already.
The Roman Catholic practice of adding their faith to
Voodoo, Buddhism, Hinduism and the Moslems without bringing them out of
darkness has just increased the darkness of all. Mother Theresa for all her
love and ministry to Indians never converted one of them to Jesus.
In His Sermon on the Mount Jesus said "if the light
that is in you be darkness, how great is that darkness!"
The One World Church, which will be under the power of
the coming Antichrist, is being built in
these days and under our sight. Paul warned that when he left a church for the
last time, that grievous wolves would come in with false doctrines and tear the
church apart.
It is happening all around us. The "Toronto
Blessing" or "Catch the Fire" is a false revival controlled by
occult demons from eastern religions. It is breaking down the fabric and
foundation of your faith. But because its not a "dead" experience but
an eventful happening it is embraced and desired as the revival. I have heard
the founder of "Toronto", Rodney Howard Brown say "Whether it is
God or the Devil at least something is happening in the church!" Really!!
You see when people are in spiritual error death creeps
into their assemblies. No one gets saved or healed, worship is flat, because
the Spirit of God has withdrawn Himself. So the priests have to manufacture
something that will look like fun and excitement in the church or lose their
congregation and lucrative income.
I strongly urge you to examine everything that is
happening in your church by the light of the Bible. Check it out by the Word
and be guided by the Holy Spirit. Your eternal destination depends on the
choices you make. If the blind follow the blind they both fall.
We will be persecuted for standing for scriptural truth
and shunning the heresy and apostasy that is gaining momentum. But Jesus said
in John 15 that we should not worry if the world hates us because it also hated
Him.
Let Jesus know that you love Him and the Trinity of God.
Don't compromise your beliefs and hold fast to the truth. Walk in the light and
Jesus will shine through you into their darkness and draw them out to be set
free by Him.
In Jesus' precious love,
Brenda
Prayer: Heavenly Father the path to life gets narrower
every day and more lonely. Sound your alarm bells into the heart of Your
children to be alert to the pitfalls and avoid them. In Jesus' name. Amen.
