Dear Viewer,

 

Back in 1988 the Lord began to speak to me concerning the Church.  I was in prayer, seeking His Face earnestly, when He began to reveal many things from His Word concerning the events of these last days.  He warned of things to come, that we be ready and not be deceived; and that we know what we should do.

 

The Lord is faithful to His Church.  He watches all that goes on in this world, and His eyes are always upon the righteous.

 

It is my desire to reveal that which God has shown me of the things pertaining to the Church that you might be enlightened, and stand fast for the truths of God’s Word.

 

I am writing this message to share with you what the Lord has revealed.  This message is a warning about the work and activities of the spirit of antichrist which is so strongly at work in the world today.  Satan seeks to destroy God’s people by causing the great falling away of the Church, as was foretold by the Apostle Paul in II Thessalonians 2:3.

 

Witchcraft and sorcery are rising fast and finding ways to infiltrate the Church.  The lukewarmness of the Laodicean Church is gripping the hearts of many (see Revelation 3:14-22).

 

 

I encourage you to read this entire message and carefully study all of the Scriptures mentioned. You will see that these things were foretold by the apostles of the Lord Jesus Christ.  They exhorted us that God wants us to pray, to be awake, and to watch that no man deceive us.

 

Part one: the wicked and evil forces that were at work in the Old Testament, showing how those forces destroyed many of God’s people.

 

Part two: the modern wicked and evil forces that are at work in these last days, even now.  It reveals the working of the spirit of antichrist, and how that spirit is at work in our present day.

 

I hope you can make good use of this material, and would encourage you to download a copy for future use.  May God enlighten your heart.

 

Yours in the Lord Jesus Christ,

Know These Forces
Part One
(Go to Part Two)   (Go to Top)

February 18, 1988:

On this date I was in prayer when the Holy Spirit spoke to me:

 

I want you to know the wicked and evil forces that fight in this world, striving like the four winds of Heaven.  I want you to know that these forces have only one purpose, and that is to destroy the Church and God’s people.

 

I want you to know these forces.  In the days to come I will reveal them to you, one by one.  You have some pre-conceived notions about these forces, but I want you to follow these revelations that I give you very carefully.

 

I John 4:1-6

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

 

Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: and every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

 

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world. 

 

They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

 

February 19, 1988:

On this date the Lord told me to remember the following:

·          The Vision Of The Fallen Angel - 1961

·          The Woman Beguiled By Satan

·          Ahab And Jezebel

 

THE VISION I SAW

OF THE FALLEN ANGEL IN 1961

(back to list)

(Go to Part Two)   (Go to Top)

 

While in my first pastorate, I laid hands on a woman to pray for her.  She was new to the church and had been with a ministry that practiced witchcraft.  This woman was bound with an evil spirit and began to pray that she be set free.

 

When I laid hands on her everything suddenly became very dark.  As I looked up, staring into the darkness, I saw an appearance of light that began to glow like it was coming from behind a dark cloud.

 

As I watched this happen, I saw a form in a white robe walking out into the light – and then it began to fall down into the darkness: I could only see the bright white robe as it fell through space, tumbling end-over-end, way down out of sight.

 

After I finished praying for the women, I went home, questioning in my mind what the vision could possibly mean.

 

Early the following morning, I went to church to pray about the vision and about the women I was praying for when I saw the vision.  While I was praying, God spoke to me concerning the following Scripture passage:

 

II Corinthians 11:12-15

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we.  For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.  And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.  Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

 

The Vision The Lord Showed Me
Was Of Satan Falling From Heaven.

 

The Lord began to speak to me about this women and the church she had been involved with.  The pastor was one of Satan’s ministers.  He practiced witchcraft and sorcery on the people, and she had become demon possessed.  She had become very deeply involved in his teachings and wanted to be a teacher herself.

 

The next service, I took time to pray again with her and to cast the demon out of her.  I prayed for her that she would give her life to Christ and be saved.  She also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit at that time.  I have known this woman now for nearly forty years and she remains free, walking with the Lord ever since she was delivered.

 

Have You Been Involved
With Witchcraft, Sorcery, Or The Occult?

 

Are you bound in these things?  Know there is hope for you, if you accept the truth that you need deliverance from demon powers.  You would do well to seek out a Spirit-filled preacher who has the power of God in their ministry to pray for you.

 

Realize that those wicked demon forces seek to destroy your soul.  Repent, and turn to Jesus Christ.  Seek Him for salvation and forgiveness of sin.

 

Acts 19:18-20

And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.  So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

 

Follow the example of Acts 19, and destroy the things you used in satanic activities.

 

People get bound by satanic power when they get into satanic worship.  If you want eternal life you must destroy all of those things you used in witchcraft, sorcery, or the occult.  Burn those books!  Don’t give them away!  Don’t sell them to someone else!  That would only cause others to get bound as you did – and  would only add to your sin.

 

Simon Used Sorcery To Bewitch The People

 

Acts 8:9-24

But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself was some great one: to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, This man is the great power of God.  And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched them with sorceries.

 

But when they believed Philip preaching the things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women.

 

Then Simon himself believed also: and when he was baptized, he continued with Philip, and wondered, beholding the miracles and signs which were done.

 

Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the Word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John: who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost: (for as yet He was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)  Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

 

Simon Tries To Buy The Power Of God!

 

Acts 8:18,19

And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.

 

You MUST Be Born Again

 

John 3:3-7

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

 

Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

 

Confess With Your Mouth
And Believe With Your Heart

 

See Romans 10:8-13

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

 

Don’t Be Deceived - Follow The Truth

 

Matthew 24:4-5

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in My name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.

 

John 5:39

Search the Scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of Me.

 

John 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me.

 

Turn From Darkness To Light!

 

see John 3:15-19

For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.  For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved.  He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.  And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

 

THE WOMAN BEGUILED BY SATAN

(LESSONS FROM THE GARDEN OF EDEN)

(back to list)

(Go to Part Two)   (Go to Top)

 

Genesis 2:7,8

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.  And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there He put the man whom He had formed.

 

The First Commandment

 

Genesis 2:15-17

And the Lord God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.   And the Lord God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat: but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.

 

God Made Eve

 

Genesis 2:18, 21-22

And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.

 

And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; and the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made He a woman, and brought her unto the man.

 

Eve Deceived By Satan

 

Genesis 3:1-4

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made.  And he said unto the woman, (Yea, hath God said), Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

 

And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden: but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

 

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

 

In Genesis 3: 4, we see Satan beguiled Eve by his lie: ye shall not surely die!

 

- The First Lie -
Questioning The Word Of God

 

Satan always tries to cause man to question God’s Word and His commandments.  Many souls are lost every day because they listen to his lies and believe them.

 

Through this one lie Satan engineered the fall of man.  And as an angel of light he has filled world with false religions, with multitudes perishing in these heresies.

 

The Devil Is The Father Of Lies

 

John 8: 44

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.  He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him.  When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

 

Satan puts into the heart of man to always question God’s Word and His commands.  You hear people do this in many ways, such as saying, God doesn’t expect you to go that far!  Those people do it - and they call themselves Christians!

 

Genesis 3:4-6

And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: for God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

 

And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

 

The Knowledge Of Sin

 

Genesis 3:7-11

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.  And they heard the voice of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.

 

And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou?  And he said, I heard Thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.  And He said, Who told thee that thou wast naked?  Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?

 

The Penalty For Sin

 

Romans 6:23

For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

Genesis 3:12-13

And the man said, The woman whom Thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.  And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done?  And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat.

 

Other Consequences Of Sin

 

Genesis 3:14-19

Unto the serpent:

And the Lord God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life: and I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.

 

Unto the woman:

Unto the woman He said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.

 

Unto Adam:

And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life; thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field; in the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

 

God warned Adam and Eve not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil - for in the day you eat thereof ye shall surely die!  That is the only commandment they were given.  They only had that one commandment to keep.

 

What Do We Learn From This Lesson?

 

The Lord said, I have set a stir in your heart that will set in motion your thoughts; and you will search and see the deceptive work of Satan, as he works to destroy the Church and God’s people.

 

We have the knowledge of sin and death and also the knowledge good and evil.   We became sinners and were lost, separated from God.  Thus God began to redeem man from the fall.  O, the love of God toward man!

 

- God Made A Covering For Sin - 

A Blood Sacrifice

 

Genesis 3:21-24

Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord God make coats of skins, and clothed them.

 

And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever: therefore the Lord God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.

 

So he drove out the man; and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.

 

Jesus, The Giver Of Life

 

John 10:10,11

The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth His life for the sheep.

 

Satan is the enemy of both God and Man, and he seeks every opportunity to destroy mankind. Whereas, Jesus is the giver of life.  Know these wicked and evil forces that seek to destroy the Church and God’s people.  These evil forces have been with us throughout history, from the creation of man.

 

KING AHAB AND QUEEN JEZEBEL

(back to list)

(Go to Part Two)   (Go to Top)

 

I Kings 16: 31

And it came to pass, as if it had been a light thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Zidonians, and went and served Baal, and worshipped him.

 

When Ahab and Jezebel got married it was one of the most wicked and evil unions in the Scriptures.  Two people, both evil and wicked, joined forces with one great purpose.  They turned the northern kingdom of Israel to Baalim, Jezebel’s religion.  They turned the whole northern kingdom away from God to serve Baal.  God had only seven thousand that bowed not the knee to Baal.

 

Ahab Did Evil Above All That Were Before Him

 

I Kings 16: 32,33

And he reared up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which he had built in Samaria.  And Ahab made a grove; and Ahab did more to provoke the Lord God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel that were before him.

 

Elijah Prays For God To Send Judgment

 

I Kings 17:1

And Elijah the Tishbite, who was of the inhabitants of Gilead, said unto Ahab, As the Lord God of Israel liveth, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, but according to my word.

 

James 5:17-18

Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.  And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

 

The power of prayer is our weapon against an evil government.  The prayer of one man can change the course of a whole nation.  Oh, that men would pray for America!  That they would intercede for the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ in these last days!  That they would pray in these last days about this great falling away that is happening before our very eyes.

 

Does anybody care?  Pray! It will make a difference.

 

Elijah Went To Shew Himself Unto Ahab
