Chapter 1 - Introduction

You could call this work a fourth warning as I have already written three of them which you can find on this website.

This is all about deception and being deceived.

The meaning of the word DECEPTION is quite simple really. It is to make something look like something else so that you fall for the trick that is being played on you by someone else.
An example of this would be the old saying about Wolves in sheep's clothing. If you saw a wolf in sheep's clothing it would still be a wolf. The disguise that the wolf is in, is to make the sheep think that he is one of them, until he gets close enough to the flock and then it will pounce and kill, or destroy whatever it can.

It matters not how many sheep's skins the wolf covers himself in he is still a wolf by name and by nature.
Another disguise which the Devil uses is that of a snake as we find in Genesis chapter two. At a recent meeting I attended the speaker spoke about snakes and there at least sixty mentions of snake, serpents, Adders and Vipers in the King James Bible.
Some snakes are harmless, while others are deadly to human beings. At the start of our Bible we read that Eve was deceived by the Devil in the disguise of a snake, and he did it by asking a question, "Did God Say?" This statement made her think that she was missing out on something, or that God was holding out on her. Instead of checking with God himself about what she was being told, she did things her own way and look at the mess that we are in now.
She was conned, deceived and tricked, and so will we be if we do not check everything that we hear or read that is supposed to come from the Word of God. Test everything, including this essay, and then test it again to make sure that you have got things right.
In this work I am only going to deal with the spiritual snakes and not the natural ones. They are deception and falsehood.

All of the verses that we will be using in this work are from the King James Bible (A.V.) and no other version, because a lot of the newer versions change the meanings, leave out words, say things that God has not said etc.
The verses which I am going to use in this warning are as follows, but reference will be made to other parts of the Bible as we go along.
Acts chapter 2 verses 41 to 47,
Acts chapter 17 verses 10 to 12,
Matthew chapter 7 verses 13 to 20 ,
Revelations chapter 13 verses 16 to 18,
2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1 to 12,
1 John chapter 4 verses 1 to 3,
1 Timothy chapter 4 verses 1 to 3.
2 Timothy chapter 3 verses 11 to 18.

At this point before I go any further I must say here that I am not out to damage, destroy or detract from anyone involved in any of the ministries mentioned in this work. I am just curious as to why things have changed in such a way that these people are joining a world movement which is joining the false religion which is soon to come upon us. Another thing that I am trying to do is to warn of the dangers of the mixing up of the true faith in Jesus Christ with other faiths and religions. The information which I shall be using comes from the websites of the people and movements that I have been looking at, so again I say, please check everything for yourself to see if I got things right or not.

Back To Top

Chapter 2 - Empowered 21 and what it is

A few weeks ago in early June 2015, I was sent a list of names in an e-mail about this movement. I do not know where this information originated, but it came under the title of "One world religion coming". I will go through the list of people in the next chapter.
If you go to their website you will find a lot of information about this movement. But here I just want to bring out some of the main points that have caught my attention. One thing that I did come across which makes me think that this is more of a secret society was this. When I researched their website I looked to see what resources they were using and I could not get into that section if I was not a member and have a password which they would give me. Where is the openness for ordinary people like you and I to find out what they believe, or to find out what they are doing?

It has been said that it is an "United Nation of Heretics" by one comment which was sent to me. It looks as if it is going to join the United Religions organisation, which includes all sorts of faiths. An "Agenda 21" type of movement. If you look up the following website, www.united nations agenda 21 you will see that this idea is Communism in a different guise. A green Communism not the old red version. You can also get this on www.threewarnings.co.uk.

I have noticed that the word "GLOBAL" is used quite a lot in their website. It is Global this and Global that, which seems to be the latest buzz words we hear on the news broadcasts on radio and television these days. Global warming, Global news etc.
This empowered movement is to make leaders. Wait a minute didn't C. Peter Wagner start something similar a few years ago now with his leadership movement? If everyone is a leader who is going to do the work?

Another thing to notice is that they are forming a" Global task force" to take over the world.
The whole of this movement is Spirit Empowered, not Spirit filled.
Who is empowering who? Is it the Spirit of the Holy and living God, or is it a false spirit from the pit of Hell? If it is not from God then it is from the other place.

Something else which seems strange to my way of thinking is this. When I have looked at the list of these people mentioned, I see that there are lots of Doctorates, Senior positions in Churches, Senior positions in business, Senior positions in education, etc.etc. My question is, where are the ordinary people like you and I fit into the scheme of things?
People like us are not included. They don't want the riff raff like you and me to be part of their world movement at all. We, the ordinary people, are there to do what we are told to do and obey our masters without question. This is coming about very soon and it will land us in the scenario of Revelations chapter 13 verses 11 to 18. It has already started and has been going on for about twenty years now, since the formation of the Purpose Driven Church movement started in the 1990's in California.
We are the cannon fodder who have to do what our so called masters and betters tell us. This is a form of Communism or Nazism in the making, so be aware of what is going on.

If you are Spirit empowered are you Spirit filled? Jesus said in John's Gospel about being filled with His spirit, about being taught by His Spirit and about being led by His Spirit. We need to be filled with God's Holy Spirit before we can do anything for God.

I want to give two good quotes here from the Empowered 21 website comments section.

1. From Chris Fitzpatrick senior.
Quote" Planning? If you want to do something go out and preach the gospel to a lost and dying world.
This is just a big scheme by NAR ( Meaning the New Apostolic Reformation)to provide spiritual inspiration which actually means control to build their own kingdom. You want unity? We already have unity in the Spirit. However the "spirit" that some of these speakers are of is highly suspect at the very best". end of quote. Bracketed piece my insertion.

2. From a lady.
"Chris, I agree. This reeks of the unbiblical NAR/dominianism and is frankly nothing more than blasphemy against the Holy Spirit." End of Quote.
As we come to the end of this chapter I trust that you will be able to see that this is a "Global Congress with an all Global agenda".
After writing the above section I typed into my computer the following, NAR/dominianism and there appeared a good website (stand up for the truth) which I shall not quote from at this point, but I will leave it to you to look at it as it makes interesting reading and mentions some of the things which I have mentioned in my three warnings website about false churches.

Let's go to the second letter to the Thessalonians chapter 2 and see what we can gather from these few verses.
Verse 3 says that we should be aware lest we are deceived, because there will be a falling away before the Man of Sin is revealed. That falling away is happening right now in the areas of morality and spirituality.
Look at what is happening now in Great Britain today. Young people do not have boundaries, they just seem to do what they like. Older people swap partners when they get fed up with the current one. Marriage means nothing to a lot of people anymore. Churches are losing member at a very fast rate. The stability we once had is gone and people are left wondering what the world is coming to. This is all part of the falling away as mentioned in verse three. When this falling away is complete, the Man of Sin will come in and take over the world then all the things that have been going on now and before 2015 will come into play big time.
Go to Revelations chapter 13 verses 11 to 18 to see what the outcome of all of this will be. It will not be very nice for anyone who is alive at that time. You will be totally controlled by this Man of Sin and his ways of doing things. Now is the time to get right with God as it will be to late then.

If you look around you, you will see that governments are implementing the U.N. Agenda 21 already without you realising what they are doing.
This is Green Communism and it is all based on controlling you and me to make us think and act along certain lines that this group is proposing, such as Political Correctness. It is so bad in the U.K. now that Christians are being hammered in the work place for wearing a cross which that person might have worn for many years without any complaint. Then again Christians are getting into trouble for saying that they believe what the Bible says about marriage. My Bible tells me that marriage is between a man and a woman, not man to man, or woman to woman. I personally don't care what the world says about this subject, but I do care about what the Bible teaches and says. Christians are now being told not to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ as it might offend someone. It offends that is not my problem as the Bible says that the preaching of the Gospel is an offence to those who do not believe its message. All of this Political Correctness is just in case what one person says or does upsets someone else who disagrees with the first person. I will go into this more later on.

Chapter 3 - The people involved in Empowered 21

In this chapter I am going to go through the list of people mentioned in the list that I was sent. It is the same list which I found later, on the website of Empowered 21. Again I must say that I am not out to destroy anyone's reputation or beliefs, but just to tell you what sorts of denominations are involved with this movement. This is done so that you, the reader, can be warned of how easily it is to be deceived by something that looks the same as the real thing, but is not. I have a question here and it is this. Why are these so called "well known" Christians getting involved with movements like Empowered 21? Are they being dazzled by the bright lights of fame or recognition? I do not know the answer to this question, do you? But, what I feel here is that deception is being used to get them on board to make this movement look the real thing when it is part of the planned deception for the world. How can these people mix with the religions that are opposed to the truth? I have no idea. Are these people doing what the Bible says what we should do in checking everything? When you read the first letter of John chapter 4 verses 1 to 3 it says that we should check everything. Why? Because the enemy out there is out to trick, con and deceive whoever he can find to deceive. Some of the names I have not put any comments to because I could not find their website, or because it was in a foreign language. After the name of each person I will put their website details so that you can do your own research.

As you do your own research you will notice that these people come from all over the world and not just one country. This is a GLOBAL movement.

1. E.A.Adeboye www.rccg.org I found nothing about repentance, salvation or what this man believes.

2. Doug Beacham. www.iphc.org What I found on his website sounded very good, but why is he aligning himself with this group if what he believes is ok?

3. Lisa Bevere www.messengerinternational.org I could not find out what this work believes.

4. Charles Blake www.cogic.org His statement of faith sounds ok, but what is a presiding Bishop? I do not find one in my Bible. A Bishop in the Biblical sense of the word was a person working in a local church of which he would have been one of many. Not as we have it today a Bishop ruling over many churches.

5. Reinhard Bonnke www.cfan.org Reinhard has been greatly used of God in reaching the African people and nations with the Good News of the Gospel for many years now, but why is he getting mixed up with this group? 6.Jurgen Buhler www.icej.org I could not find out much about this person from the website given.

6. Isak Burger www.afm-ags.org This man is the co-chairman of Empowered 21 in Africa and when I looked at his website I came across Apostolic Agents, whatever they are.

7. Glen Burris, Junior. www.foursquare.org This person is President of the Four Square Church movement since 2010. They have TASK FORCES and a CABINET in this movement. Where do you find this in the Bible? You do not.

8. and 9 are Spanish speakers so I could not read their websites but if you speak the language here are their websites. Omar Cabrera, Junior www.visiondefuturo.org and Juanita Cercone www.enlace.org

10. Lazarus Chakwera www.malawiassembliesofgod.org When I looked this website I was amazed to see that this man is involved in a lot of things in Malawi. I could not find anything as to what he believes. But what I did find was that the Assemblies of God in that country were running like a business with a President and other officers, just like an office in a company. He is also the founding senior Pastor of the International Christian Assembly movement, which is operating in many countries across the world, sponsored by the A.O.G churches. Also in that list he is involved with several other things to do with the Assemblies of God denomination.

11. Hugo Sai Keung Chan www.ihc.com.hk This was his office website so I could not find out much about this person in Hong Kong.

12. Ishmael Prince Charles www.ntcogbvi.org Calls himself a Bishop and is an Administrative Bishop of several islands in the Caribbean area. Where in the Bible is there mention of an administrative Bishop?

13. Rick Ciaramitaro. www. windsorchristianfellowship.com In His website I came across a four step vision plan, four tools for success. These tools for success were win, connect, empower and grow. It looked alright but why is this Pastor getting involved with something not Holy?

14. Kenneth Copeland. www.kcm.org I used to like Kenneth Copeland's preaching years ago, but now he has gone astray by what I have read and heard. I saw a d.v.d about 15 months ago where the Pope was blessing him and since then I recently came across the printed version of the same meeting which was done by satellite. Let me quote from this paper. Quote" Heaven is thrilled over this--- You know what is so thrilling to me? When we went into ministry 47 years ago, this was impossible". End of quote by Kenneth Copeland in answer to the Pope's idea of Catholics and Charismatic's being reconciled. At the end of the long article this is what the Pope asks. Quote, "I ask you to bless me, and I bless you. From brother to brother, I embrace you. Thank you. "End of quote. You can find the whole of this message on "Stand up for the truth" website. Chalk and cheese do not mix, neither does true Christianity and Catholicism.

15. Margaret Court. www.victorylifecenter.com.au Margaret Court will be remembered as the Australian tennis star of some years ago and now she is a founder and Senior Pastor of a large church in Australia. The name of this church is Victory Life Centre and I was wondering if it was, or is, in anyway linked to the one in Cwmbran, Wales, which had links to Todd Bentley? If it is in the same grouping then it is a false church. I could not find out anything about what they believe, only to say that they are building an army to take Perth (Australia) and the country for God. I am never very happy when I read of women in church leadership roles as the Bible says that it should be men in leadership. I am not saying that women don't have a role to play in any church fellowship, but as far as I can see it should be the men who lead.

16. Daniel de Leon. www.tcsocal.com I could not find out much about this man, other than that he is a Pastor in California.

17. Chady El-Aouad www.chadyelaouad.com Again I could not find out much about this person, but he is well known in Lebanon and the Middle East.

18. Ingolf Ellssel. www.pef.eu Chairman of the European Pentecostal movement 2001 to 2013 and now Chairman of the I.c.e.j. in Jerusalem. There seems to be more of a business than a Christian organisation which should be reaching out to the world.

19. Jeff Farmer. www.pccna.org He is the current President of the Pentecostal/Charismatic church grouping in North America.. This group is promoting spiritual renewal and fellowship among Pentecostal believers. A joining together. Who is behind a lot of this Charismatic movement? The answer is the Roman Catholic Church. So how can chalk and cheese mix? They don't.

20. David Ferguson. www.greatcommandment.net What I found from looking at this persons website seems to me to be a mixture of things, such as a miss use of Galatians chapter 6 verse 6. This verse says, "LET HIM THAT IS TAUGHT IN THE WORD COMMUNICATE UNTO HIM THAT TEACHETH IN ALL GOOD THINGS". It seems from what I have read in this website that they are dealing with personal relationships. This part of the Bible is dealing with DECEPTION not with personal relationships. I agree that we should help each other when there is a need to do so, but not to use our Bibles out of context. Another thing that I found is that they are involved in is to "PROVIDE A DRIVEN PROCESS RESOURCES". When I hear of something being driven, in a Christian sense, alarm bells start ringing in my mind. I could not find out anything that they believed in as to the Great commission given by Jesus to go out and preach the Gospel and make disciples for God. Jesus never drives, He leads. So be very careful of anything in the Christian sense that drives and does not lead. Read Psalm 23 as an example.

21. Jentzen Franklin. www.freechapel.org He runs a multi campus church with a global outreach. (There's that word again, Global) on an University Campus. Part of his core values are" Never hold back, live life together, believe the best in others, Honour yesterday and inspire tomorrow."

22. Claudio Friedzon. www.claudiofriedzon.com I could not find out much about this man except that he has a church in Argentina and is linked to the Assemblies of God churches in Maryland, U.S.A.

23. Alton Garrison www.aog.org Not much found about this person either.

24. John Glass. www.elim.org.uk Nothing found here about what he believes.

25. Jonas Gonzalez. www.enlace.org In Spanish which I cannot read.

26. Mart Green. www.martgreen.net Businessman and owner of a chain of arts and craft stores in U.S.A. also he is the chairman of the trustees of the Oral Roberts University. He gave them $110 million between 2008 and 2011. The question I have here is, did he get the chairmanship of the trustees because of the money he put into this university over those four years? I do not know. A warning here. This man is and has been involved with Rick Warren of the Purpose Drive Church movement. He is, and has been, also involved with a cult leader Bill Gothard and his Institute in basic life principles.(Iblp) On the surface this organisation looks ok even though I could not find a real statement of what they believe. It was the general one which most churches use anyway, but their main theme seems to be about relationships and leadership.

27. Prince Guneratnam. www.calvary.org.my Chairman of the Pentecostal World Fellowship. When I looked at what they believe I found that their creed or tenets of belief were different to the creed that we generally use in the West. Before we go on to the next person, one thing that I have noticed so far is that all of the people mentioned so far, and for those to come, is that they are all chairmen and leaders of something or other. Not one of them is a dock worker, or an office junior, or a low paid worker. None of the women mentioned are housewives or office temps. This group is setting itself up to be part of a ruling class, so be warned.

28. Arto Hamalainen. www.pem.pef.eu Arto is a member of the Acts chapter 1 verse 8 group which is a committee that became part of WAGF a commercial radio station in the U.S.A. Acts Chapter 1 verse 8 is all about the promise of Holy Ghost power in the near future for the disciples and about witnessing to the whole world. It was not about a committee led thing. It was a Holy Ghost led event which occurred 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus. If you are led by the Holy Ghost you do not need a committee, you just need God and His word.

29. Jack Hayford. www.jackhayford.org www.kingsuniversity.edu Pastor Hayford is well known for his television programmes on Christianity in Britain, but I could not find out much about what he believes from his website. But, there was one quote which I will tell you about which I found on his website. Quote" the vision of the institute ( meaning King's university not named in the quote) is to train mature students who are spiritually vibrant, biblically strong, theologically balanced spirit empowered, etc" end of quote.

30. Tom Hess. www.jhopfan.org Some of this empowered group will be in Jerusalem for a big all nations convocation in 2015, but I could not find out what they believe.

31. Marilyn Hickey. www.marilynhickeyandsarah.org This lady is very busy travelling around the world and is on the board of directors of Pastor David Yonggi's Church Growth International in South Korea. There is lots about what they are doing but nothing much about the Bible.

32. Wayne Hilsden. www.kkcj.org His church in Jerusalem is very westernised and the music is like any other Charismatic Church==loud and noisy. For myself this type of music is not worship, but "jungle music".

33. Al Hollingsworth. www.bossthemovement.com Boss means Building on Spiritual Substance. I do not understand what this means, but I do know what building on "THE ROCK" means as in the story that Jesus told to the multitude. See Matthew chapter 7 verses 24 to 27. We are told to build on "THE ROCK" if we want to be safe when the storms and trials of life come our way. There is only the sand otherwise and that will wash away from under your feet just like the tide washes away the sandcastles at the seaside when the tide is coming in. Jesus Christ is the rock that we must build on and nothing or anything else. They quote Mark chapter 11 verse 22 as a key verse for what they are teaching. The verse says "Have faith in God". But, if you look at the context verses it has nothing to do with your dreams. The preceding verses 20to 21 tells us about the withered Fig tree and the verses after it 23 to 26 Jesus is talking about prayer. It seems that this movement is built on the sands of men's ways of doing things.

34. Rob Hoskins. www.onehope.net This person is involved with a global church outreach and when I looked at his website I found that he has a Book of Hope. This book was taken by him to El Salvador at the request of the Government of that country rather than the Bible. There were 968 000 copies of this book taken to El Salvador. He also tries to preach the Gospel by holding all sorts of things rather than preach from the Bible directly to the people.

35. Brian Houston. www.myhillsong.com I could not get into his website.

36. Cindy Jacobs. www.generals.org She is classed as a prophet. This is wrong she should be classed as a prophetess. Why are people using masculine words and titles for women? Is this part of us all being equal? Her website seems to be all about her and what she is doing. She also is involved with a thing called God's generals. I ask another question here, is this part of their leadership strategy of ruling the world? Where are foot soldiers if all are going to be leaders and generals? The Bible says nothing about Generals.

37. Bill Johnson.www.ibethel.org This man is involved with a new thing called SOZO. In Greek it means saved, healed and delivered. He has an online training programme to help you create a revival structure in your church. My question is where is the Holy Spirit in all of this? They have an empowering curriculum. What about having a Holy Spirit curriculum?

38. Scott Kelso. no website given.

39. Lawrence Khong. www.fcbc.org.sg He is called an Apostle. Of what might I ask here? He is in the entertainment world producing films and doing magic shows as a platform to share Jesus to those who do not know Him. All of this can be good, but are people finding the Lord through this means of preaching? Probably not. He also has a training programme where the leader of the group takes and trains 12 others and that 12 does the same thing to another 12 people. This is a form of PYRAMID selling techniques to get others to tell someone else about what the Gospel is.

40. Young Hoon Lee. www.english.fgtv.com There was something on his website which I do not understand and it is this. 4th Time dimension spirituality. What does it mean? I don't know.

41. Dennis Lindsey. www.cfni.org Again here is something which I am not familiar with, and that is dreams. I know that God does use dreams to communicate with people as the book of Joel tells us so. Here in this website he is saying that they believe in God given dreams, but doesn't say anything about the Jesus death etc. or repentance. Under the section "Where are we going" they say the following. Quote" voices awakened by purpose, empowered by love and fuelled by hope, to be a place where dreams find direction" end of quote. From what I read on their write up in the Empowering 21 website they are part of the World changers in that they prepare and train World changers and other networks through their training schools to prepare people to go to the extreme generation who will go to the edge to evangelise the lost. The Bible tells us to make disciples not converts to a cause and that takes time and discipline to do so. What I am seeing here is another group of leaders not servants.

42. Ron Luce. www.teenmania.com A Para-church youth ministry to make revolutionaries? This is what it sounds like to me.

43. Gordon McDonald. www.phcc.ca In the write up I was given he is classed as the head Bishop for the Pentecostal Holiness Church in Canada. I could not find out any more than that, other than that he has a heart for missions.

44. Gordon Moore. He is a senior minister of a church called C3, and is a national director of the C3 Church Global movement trying to reach the UNCHURCHED. This is a name (unchurched) which is used by the Purpose Driven Church idea. Why not call people what they are if they do not know Jesus as their Lord and Saviour-- unsaved? This C3 idea seems to be all about building your dreams and is aimed at the 18 to 22 age group. They seem to be all about the individuals dreams being realised. What about God's dream for the world? I could find out nothing about what they believe at all.

45. Robert Morris. www.gatewaypeople.com This person teaches a lot about prosperity and personal growth. What sort of prosperity does he mean? Is it the Biblical sort as mentioned in the third letter of John, or is it something else? He uses the word unchurched rather than unsaved. The Bible says nothing about being unchurched but it says a lot about knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour. Life is not about going to church, it is about your standing before a Holy God and whether you are going to Heaven or Hell. There is no mention of repentance being mentioned in this website. The word unchurched is used a lot by the Purpose Driven Church idea and also the Emerging Church, so please be careful what you join, or take on, as not everything is true.

46. Sandor Nemeth. www.nemethsandor.hu I was forbidden to get into his website to find out what this man believes. I wonder if he is hiding something? He reckons that he leads a Pentecostal movement which has 600 000 000 million followers across the world. He seems to support Israel, but by how much I could not find out.

47. Niko Njotorahardjo. www. hmministry.com He is Co-chair of the Empowered 21 programme and is on the cutting edge of the Spirit Empowered movement. (whatever that means) I could not get into his website without joining this movement. Again I ask what are these people hiding if they cannot be open for questions or inspection? From what I have read so far it seems that Empowered 21 is more like a secret society than anything else.

48. Opoku Onyinah. www.gpccghana.org This gentleman is a member of the World Council Of Churches, which embraces all sorts of things religious and could be the starting point of a world religion.

49. Michel Ouedraogo. www. africanhopeinitiative.org Could not find anything about what this person believes as there was no statement of faith given. Why are some of these people afraid to say what they believe, is it because they have no faith or trust in God?

50. Oreste Pesare www.iccrs.org This man is a Roman Catholic executive director of their International Catholic Charismatic Renewal Services. This sort of person joining a so called movement of God brings a warning to my mind as to why they are joining such a movement. A Pope many years ago said something along the lines of the breakaway church (Anglican church and other breakaway churches after 1548)that they are rejoining us and not we them. This meant that the Anglican Church would go back to Roman Catholicism once more. In some ways this has happened with the High Church in Anglicanism. Now they want us, the Evangelical churches, to rejoin them. When you go into any Roman Catholic Church you will see statues to Mary and the saints of old which the Bible tells us not to bow down to. Leviticus chapter 1 verse1, Exodus chapter20 verses 1 to 5 and Deuteronomy chapter 5 verse 8 to 9.

51. Gordon Robertson. www.cbn.com I could not find any sort of statement of faith on his website at all.

52. Samuel Rodriguez, Junior. www.nhcic.org No website found so I cannot say what this person believes.

53. Steve Strang. www.carismamag.com Very heavily into the charismatic movement. If they are printing the truth in their magazines why are they joining something which is false?

54. Greg Surratt www.seacoast.org The Seacoast people are recognised as an innovative and influential group through leaders in future strategies for church growth according to the write up which I have in front of me. I found nothing about repentance, salvation or discipleship in their website, but like others they call people unchurched rather than unsaved. Once more I will say that the unchurched idea comes from the Purpose Driven Church idea and again it is not found in the Bible. This group, i.e. Seacoast sounds more like a social gospel.

55. Vinson Synan. www.regent.edu He is the Premier historian of the Pentecostal/Charismatic movement. If these people say that they believe the Bible why are they getting involved with something which is no right?

56. Matthew K. Thomas. www.matthewkthomas.org Secretary of the Pentecostal World Fellowship and a Global Cabinet member for Empowered 21.

57. David Wells. www.paoc.org This person uses the N.I.V. Bible which to my mind has many flaws in it, by the way it was translated.

58. Mark Williams. www.churchofgod.org At one point in his life he was a State administrative Bishop among other positions which he held. What is that when it is at home? It is not found in my Bible.

To summarize this chapter.

What I am seeing in all of this chapter is that there is a coming together mainly through the Pentecostal Churches a leadership movement, supported by the Roman Catholic Church, the World Council of Churches and the Purpose Driven church, from very many nations.

There are probably other people involved, but I have just worked from the list that I was sent. I did come across something, but I cannot find it again, about a Global Awards presentation being given to the following people. Reinhardt Bonnke, Morris Cerullo, Marilyn Hickey, David Maines and Vinson Synan. According to what I was told that each of these people received the equivalent of £150,000 each. I don't know where this came from, but you need to check this out because sometimes information on the internet is false or out of date. So please forgive me if I have got this piece wrong. There is one thing that I did notice and that was that all of the above named persons were in leadership in one capacity or another. If all are leaders where are the workers and servants of God? Jesus became a slave to save us, but all of these people don't want to be that. They want to be at the top. Jesus said to go up, you first of all need to go down. In other words you die to yourself wishes and egos, then God will raise you up to be used in His service. "God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble".

See James chapter 4 verse 6.
Jesus told James and John off for wanting the first place in Heaven, because that was reserved to be given to whoever by the Father. It is now occupied by Jesus.

Why can't people do things for nothing and let God raise them up?

Chapter 4 - Questions needing an answer

In this chapter I am going to ask a series of questions which need you, the reader, to give an answer to.
The questions are as follows.
1. What did Jesus have in the way of possessions?
2. The early church's simplicity and why not now?
3. What or who are these new fangled names and titles that people are giving themselves?
4. Spirit empowered, what does it mean? 5.Who is Empowering who? 6. Will there be a final revival before the end of the World comes?
7. Why are there these unholy alliances between Christianity and the other religions?
8. Grave Soaking. What is it?

Answers to questions.
1. What did Jesus have?
Luke 10 verses 1 to 17.
Matthew 10 verses 1 to 15.
Mark.6 verses 8 to 13.
In these verses we read that Jesus sent out His disciples to preach and to teach with nothing, because they had nothing. Jesus never owned a house, a car, money, etc. He was even buried in someone else's tomb at his death. If this was the case why do we want to have lots of things that will slow us down in our service for God?
If Jesus went around with nothing, why do these so called "big speakers" want to have the best hotels, big houses, big cars, posh offices, etc. before they will go anywhere to preach the good news. Are they more important than Jesus and His commission to go out to the world? These same people are always begging for money on their TV. programmes. Jesus never begged for anything in His life. Something I thought of some years ago about this type of begging was what happens to the money if these people suddenly decide that God wants them to use it for something else, rather than the cause it was given for.
Would they then return that money? I shouldn't think that they would.
The disciples were sent out on a training mission to their own people, they did not have big ministries or any of the things I mentioned earlier. They went out in the power of God's Holy Spirit and nothing else. They preached strait forward repentance, which something we do not here much of today in Church services.

2. The early church and now.
I have wondered for many years now why the modern church setting is not like the early church as described in the Book of Acts, chapters 2 to 4. Today, in Evangelical churches mainly, we quite often will have one person standing at the front of the building conducting the whole service. Where do you find that in the Bible. Then there is the noise which is supposed to be music leading the worship. There is no reverence in the music in the modern church service, it is more like a rock and roll concert and I hate it. Other people will tell you that it is not Godly music because of the words in the songs and the beat. God isn't deaf, so why the loud noise?
The Brethren Assembly where I grew in never had any musical instruments played on a Sunday Morning, but one of the men would start the tune for the hymn to be sung. I miss those type of Sunday mornings where there was a lot more reverence for the Lord than there is in the modern church setting. Let us go to Acts Chapter 2 and see what was going on in church life two thousand years ago.
Verses 41 to 47 Simplicity of meeting together. No big buildings, but house to house. There was complete unity between the believers.
Chapter 3 verse 19 tells us what was preached REPENTANCE.
Chapter 4 verse 31. They had powerful prayers that shook the house where they were living. Back to chapter 2 and verses 41 to 47. They had no big buildings. They met in each other's homes except for the times that the Jewish feasts were on, and then they went to the Temple to celebrate those feast days. They met simply, but with great power. What do we have today? Large buildings, rich speakers, one man bands running the show, and so it goes on.
There is very little power in the churches today because we have left God out of everything and have allowed the false systems to take over. We need to get back to the days of the early church if we are to see any change in our nation's spiritual life.

3. The new ideas for church leadership.
In the last couple of years I have come across some very peculiar things in the way that church leaders are named. In this section I will tell you about some of them.
1.Administrative Bishops.
2.Apostolic Agents.
3. Presiding Bishops.
4. Presiding Apostles.
5.Apostolic Alignment.
6.Eagles Vision Apostolic Team.
7. Ambassadorial Apostle of Global Spheres.
Numbers 4 to 7 in this list are what C. Peter Wagner calls himself.

You will not ever find anyone of these titles in your Bible. Why, because they are false titles.
In my Bible there are three sets of verses which tell us of the gifts which God gives to us to use for His Kingdom and not for our own Empires and they are,
1 Corinthians chapter 12 verses 28 to 31.
Ephesians chapter 4 verses 11 to 13.
Romans chapter 12 verses 3 to 8.

Now, if you read these verses prayerfully and carefully you will see that there is a very big difference in what the Bible says about leadership and what men are saying today as to what they think that leadership should be. For myself, if it is not in the Bible, I don't want to know about it. In the list of verses I gave you at the beginning of this question there are some rules which apply to becoming a church leader. The rules for Elders and Deacons are almost the same, and I would suspect that when Paul wrote down these rules that he would have meant Pastors, teachers and bishops as well.
Titus chapter 1 verse 9.
1 Timothy chapter 3 verses 1 to 8.
Acts chapter 20 verse 17.

My question here is, if these titles are not the Holy Bible, where do they come from? Some people like to have a title after their names, or before it as well, but I am not interested in Earthly titles because God has given me a new name in Heaven. Some people feel that they are important if they a title to their name. Twice a year in the U.K. we have an honours list which the government honour various people for something which they have done in the recent past. The only honour which I would like to receive is from the Lord Himself, when He says to me" Well done good and faithful servant".

4. Spirit Empowered, what does it mean?
I have just gone through my King James Bible concordance and to my surprise the word EMPOWERED is NOT mentioned once, but, the filling of and by the Holy Spirit is several times.

Let us have a look at this subject for a few minutes.
a. The Holy Spirit is a PERSON not a feeling, or a something ethereal.
b. He is part of the Holy Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
c. Jesus spoke of the Holy Spirit, what sort of person He is, what He would be doing, how He operates etc. in John's Gospel. So read these verses for yourself.
Chapter 14 verses 15 to 17 and 26.
Chapter 15 verse 26.
Chapter 16 verses 13 to 14.d. Luke spoke of Him in the Book of Acts.
In Chapter 1 we read of the promise of the Holy Spirit coming.
Chapter 2 verse 4 He arrives and again in Chapter 4 verse 31.
Chapter 9 verse 17 He arrives at the home of a gentile Roman Centurion.

There are other verses which encourage us to be filled with the Spirit of God. So what sort of spirit is this EMPOWERED 21 talking about? I don't have a clue, but if it is not in my Bible then it is coming from somewhere else and believers are getting sucked into something that they should not be involved with. If this spirit is from God, then there would be total unity of believers.
But as I look at this movement I cannot see why people from different religions are belonging to this movement, because they are being unequally yoked together and that does not work. See 2 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 4.

Acts chapter two verses 41 to 47 tells us what the early church was like. It was totally united in every way, but is this new movement totally united like those verses say?
Being unequally yoked mainly means in marriage between a Christian and a non Christian, but can also be applied to many other things in life as well as marriage.

5. Who is empowering who?
The question I am asking here is this Empowered 21 from God or not? Our God will not involve Himself in anything or person who is involved in the false religions, ideas, etc. Our God is Holy and absolute in everything that He does and says. So much so that if this work is not in accordance with His will and Word it will not be of Him. What I am seeing here is another part of the coming together of all the World religions which will form the one world religion as per the book of Revelations.

This movement like a lot of others will come under the umbrella of the World Council of Churches.
Quote. "The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognise that religious truth evolves and changes". End of quote.
Pope Francis at the 3rd Vatican Council in January 2014.

Another quote from the same Pope."The church no longer believes in a literal Hell where people suffer". End of quote.
If people believe this and you believe what the Bible says then you are playing with fire and your empowering is coming from Hell itself and not from God as you think. What you need to do is to REPENT of the pathway that you thought that you were on and turn back to God and ask for His help and forgiveness and get back on the straight and narrow way to life.

6. Will there be a final revival?
I cannot see that coming about from the things that I see happening around me here in the west and also more importantly from what the Bible says. I read in my Bible in 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 1 and 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 about a great falling away from the truth and a great deception coming in to replace the Word of God with lies and all sorts of wrong teaching. It is already happening now in 2015 and it will get worse as time goes by. People will listen to these lies and will take them in. Why? Because they do not want to hear the truth and would rather believe a lie.

Also because to check something out will take time to study the Word of God to see if what we are being told is true or not. If you teach a lie long enough people will believe it as the German people did in the 1920's and 1930's when Hitler lied to the people about the Jews.
Do you realise that this man of sin could be already alive today 1st July 2015? If that is so, how much time is left to us to get right with God? We do not know who this person is, but when he reveals himself to the world, then watch out for things to go really bad for us true believers. It is getting harder in the West to be a real believer in the Lord Jesus Christ as each year passes by. Are you ready to meet the Lord when He returns to the air for those who love Him?
Go back to Revelations chapter 13 and reread it again and again as it is God's final warning to mankind of what is coming very soon to our world.

7. Why this unholy alliance of believers and others?
There are plenty of warnings given in the Bible about joining in with ungodly things as I have already stated. There is and will be soon an unholy religion going to take over the religious world and it happen quicker than we realise. This unholy alliance will be made up of two religions in the main by what I can see going on at present.

A. A resurgence of the Roman Catholic Church.
B. Islam.
I feel and think that it will be the first one of the two which will rule over all religious affairs in the forth coming world religion.
But why are so called "Born Again" believers getting involved with this idea. It is because of a couple of things,
a. We do not believe in the Bible.
b. We do not trust God.
c. Modern things and ideas have changed what the Bible says.
d. Because we have not really come to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour of our lives.
e. Because of the "New Evangelicalism" which is rife in the western world.
f. The attitude of the Roman Catholic Church has always been "That you are rejoining us and not us joining you". Meaning that all of the churches which do not have the Pope as their head are coming back into their fold.

This has always been their stance ever since the Reformation in the late 15th and early 16th centuries, when the Anglican church broke away from Rome and its devilish religious practices. But I am still at a loss to understand why people who say that they love the Lord want to join in with others who will compromise their faith for the sake of being united. What this World Council of Churches will be like is a mish mash of all sorts of things. It will be a levelling up of the religions who have no faith in God and levelling down of those who are supposed to know and love God. Have you ever seen a the water in a glass jar after a child has been painting a picture? The colour of the water is just one horrible mess and this is what is coming if this group goes ahead and mixes up all of the religions in the world. It will be an unholy mess. Could I please plead with any reader who is thinking of joining the World Council of Churches to think again about what you are doing or joining and get back to the real Bible and read and pray that the Good Lord will help you to see what is right from His word and what is wrong with this movement. To end with here are two more quotes from Pope Francis which will show you what you are joining if you become a member of this group.

Quote 1. "because Muslims, Hindus, and African animists are also made in the very likeness and image of God, to hate them is to hate God.
To reject them is to reject God and the Gospel of Christ. Whether we worship at a church, a synagogue, a mosque or a mandir, it does not matter. Whether we call God, Jesus, Adoni, Allah, or Krishna, we all worship the same God of Love. This truth is self evident to all who have love and humility in their hearts" End of quote.

Quote 2. "This much is clear, the Catholic Church has made a decision to rejoin humanity and to reject intolerance and extremism . The church has lost a few narrow minded bigots, with reports of some small parishes and a few Cardinals and Bishops defecting, but Pope Francis has gained the friendship of the World. Pope Francis deserves praise for taking a humane stand in defence of human rights and against bigotry." End of quote.

What does the Bible say about "FRIENDSHIP WITH THE WORLD"? Turn to James chapter 4 verse 4 which has the answer to that question. If you are friends with the world, meaning the world's way of doing things, then you are an enemy of God. That is what my King James Bible says. This is what you will be signing up to if you join such a movement. You will make yourself an enemy of God, so then where will your salvation get you?

Other parts of this paper say that the Pope says that all religions are true, all are welcome to join no matter what you believe, that the Bible is outdated in some parts. e.g. Adam and Eve are a myth.
So, back to the question of why do Bible believing people, (so called) want to join something that denies and twists everything that they say that they believe in? I just do not understand it.

8. Grave soaking/Mantle grabbing.
Have you ever heard of anything so stupid before? Neither had I until a short while ago. I got this off the Charisma website which I have already mentioned in an earlier part of this work. This is the latest fad which is gaining ground here in the U.K. What is it about this, that people want to get the power that a dead Christian had for themselves by laying on top of that persons grave and hoping that this power will come up through the earth and into them so that they can have the power to do what God called these dead saints to do in the past. Luke chapter 1 verses 17 to 19. This verse is being misused by the people who go in for this sort of stuff. What the actual verses are talking about are the forth coming birth of John the Baptist and what sort of character he would be when he grew up. John would be like Elijah who died many centuries earlier. 47. No way is this idea from God that you can lay on a grave and get power from the dead person in that tomb. This sort of thing could possibly lead to Saint worship or necromancy. There is nothing in my Bible to tell that this is something that we should be doing. So why are people starting to do this? The answer is because they are being deceived because they do not read their Bibles properly. If you put into your computer the following. www. charisma/ grave sucking/soaking you will see a lot about this so called blessing. It is totally false, devilish and definitely not of God. Steer clear of it at all costs.

Chapter 5 - THE NEW WORLD ORDER

This chapter will be the centre piece for this composition and through it I hope that I can warn you of the things that are already here and of the things which will happen in the near future.
To start with let us go back to the late 18th century. In the year 1776 a Catholic priest of the Jesuit order ( a converted Jew) by the name of Adam Weishaupt started up the group called the "illuminate", or the "Enlightened ones" in Germany. The whole idea of this group is to take over the world by one means or another.
This form of government would be a totalitarian one, and as we go through this subject I hope to show you what it will mean for us today in the year 2015. By the beginning of the 19th century this idea was already in the U.S.A. Back one hundred years earlier in the early 17th century, Christians who were being persecuted in Europe went to America to start up a Christian Nation under God.
Now you have a battle on your hands. Good versus evil.
Since 1782 on the reverse side of the great seal of America you have the words" NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" meaning a new world order. This has been on their $1 bill since 1935.

This new world order idea has crept in slowly through the years and is now coming ever nearer to us in the U.K. From the things that I have researched and studied it is slowly creeping into the fabric of everyday Great Britain in insidious ways as I will show you presently. But first of all I want you to look up the United Nations Agenda 21 and as you go through this agenda as I did, you will begin to realise what is going on in our world at present under various disguises. We are being lied to big time. Yes, I said LIED to by governments. I covered this subject fully in warning number 2.

The lies cover the following items and many other areas of our lives.
1. There are too many people in the world to feed. That is why there is widespread abortions in the Western World today.
2. We have to all think along the same lines. Political Correctness.
3. Your personal choices don't count any more.
4. You cannot say that sin is sin anymore. The Bible is being pushed out of our nation's constitution.
5. You have to believe what you are being told to believe.
6. You have to go along with the ideas that we are the cause of climate changes because of over population, even though that has been proved to be a false assumption.
7. The rich countries have to lower their living standards so that they can bring up the living standards of the poorer countries. A levelling out of everything. Didn't the communists of the 1920's say something similar? The state rules everything.
8. The theory of evolution has to be pushed as fact in the schools, and the Bible is being pushed out of the nation's life.

The list goes on and on.

What all of this means is that COMMUNISM will rule. This is GREEN communism, not as the RED version which died and collapsed in the 1990's when the Berlin Wall came tumbling down. What people are saying and believing is that Communism is dead and buried. But did it really die? No it just changed shape and colour. In time this green version of Communism will also collapse, when the God of Israel returns to take up His rightful place on the throne of the Earth in Jerusalem.

The next thing to look at is how will this affect us in the U.K.

In the United Kingdom ever since we were taken into the European Union, falsely, (it was an illegal act by the then government) in the 1970's we have lost a lot of our power because we have been overtaken by the rules of other people. We were tricked by the government of that time to join this Union and since then we have lost out big time in a lot of ways that we never thought were possible. We have lost all of our measurements, coinage, weights and measures, laws, etc. For what? Just to be like the rest of Europe. We also lost our trading partners in the Commonwealth, where we once had cheaper food coming from these nations. But now we have to pay higher prices for stuff that comes from Europe.

We, as a nation have been ROBBED, yes robbed by our government in the past over our going into Europe big time. We originally were in a trading agreement with the rest of Europe, not a POLITICAL one. If you look at a map of the European Union you will see that is a revival of the old Roman Empire. Everyone thinks that the Roman Empire ended in the 7th to 8th century A.D. (Here in the U.K.it was earlier) But the Devil does not give up that easily and he will revive this empire once again in the form of the European Union. Go back to your Bibles and read the latter chapters of Daniel and those in Revelations and some of Paul's letters about the end times as well as what Jesus said in the Gospels.

What is happening now in 2015?

1. We already have abortions on a grand scale since the law was passed in the 1960's. Too many mouths to feed, remember that from the statement above. Exactly how many babies have been aborted in our country since then I do not know, but I do know that it is in the millions. Our nation has allowed the murder of all of these innocent unborn children. For what? To obey the One World orders.

2. We have Political Correctness. P.C. for short. This means that I cannot say that something is sinful as it impinges on what someone else believes.

Well I am sorry about that because if my Bible says that God says that something is sinful, then it is sinful. I would rather go with that than what a man or government says. Christians are being sued, taken to court, sacked from their jobs, demoted and having their business's shut down all because they are Christians and are standing up for what they believe. You can check this out by going to the following websites of the Christian Institute and Christian Concern.

3. Surveillance cameras. In the U.K we have so many cameras watching everything that we are doing, or where we are going etc. Now surveillance cameras can be a very useful tool in stopping crime or bad behaviour. But they can be a means to spy on you and who you are meeting with.

4. Mobile phone operators are required by law to store all of the conversations that go through their systems for a couple of years. I am not sure for how long , but this gives the security services a chance to look at who is saying what to who, and if they do not like what is being said then you will be investigated. All this is under the guise of national security.

5. Evolution is being pushed in our school system and Christianity is being pushed out. Charles Darwin at the end of his life admitted that he could not find a link between animals and man, but the evolutionists will not tell you that.

6. Human rights. According our government everyone seems to have rights except those who are the true believers in the Bible. That is why we are being taken to court, spied on and in some ways being persecuted by governments, because we won't go down the Political Correctness road. I tell you now and here that I have no intention ever of going down the political correctness road ever. I will abide by the laws of our land until it comes to a matter of the Bible or man. It seems to me that everyone else has rights but not me because I am a Christian who believes in the Bible. That is totally wrong, I should be able to discuss or share my faith without anyone saying something different or telling me that I can't. Our freedom of speech is being slowly stolen from us. Yes I mean STOLEN from us.

7. A new danger in the making is the proposed "Counter Terrorism Bill" which will go before Parliament later this year. This bill seeks to stop extremism being preached in the streets, or anywhere else for that matter in the nation.
What the danger is for the true believer in Jesus Christ is this. That a person holding a service in a street could be arrested for preaching the Gospel which someone passing by does not like and phones the police to complain. The police arrive and could arrest that person under this proposed bill.

It happened in West London during Wimbledon fortnight a couple of years ago, under the "Public Order" laws, where an American preacher was preaching in a street service with a local church, that a complaint was sent to the local police and the preacher was arrested and put in a police cell for about seven hours before being released. Why. Because he was preaching the truth about the Bible and others did not want to hear it. There were other cases similar to this around this time. This will get worse as the One World New order takes over every part of our nation. Great Britain is heading for a police state and that could come about in a few short years when this country becomes just that. The answer is for the nation to get back to the God of the Bible starting with the national governments and the churches.
8. Weak Churches. A lot of the churches in the U.K are losing members by the hundreds every year because of the churches compromising with the world system. These churches are compromising what they say, what they believe, by allowing same sex marriages take place in their buildings, and now they are letting same sex couples run churches. This is totally against what the Bible teaches. If you look at Paul's instructions to Timothy you see that church leaders should be married with one wife. How can this be in a same sex church leadership role. Don't people READ their Bibles properly anymore?

A lot of the clergy are not saved, or born again, but they are trying to get to Heaven by their own good works. They do not know God for real, it is in some cases just a job for these people. Look at what the current Pope has been saying since January 2014. Another quote from the same paper Which I mentioned before. Quote" The time has come to abandon all intolerance. We must recognise that religious truth evolves and changes. Truth is not absolute or set in stone". End of quote.
My Bible says that our God says that" HE CHANGES NOT". That is an absolute. Therefore His Word changes not either. Malachi chapter 3 verse 6, even though men are changing what it says and means so that there is confusion as to which version is correct. Stick with KING JAMES Authorised Bible.

The Pope no longer believes in a literal Hell, or that God is a Judge. To him Adam and Eve are a fable and all religions are true for the people involved with them. As he is the head of the Roman Catholic church all of this will permeate down to the members of that church and they will start to believe it. It is a false religion.
Mixing with this lot will pull you into it and not the other way about.

Chapter 6 - Test the Spirits

This chapter will be a short one but a vital one, because if you do not test things by the Word of God you could be led astray in your faith into pathways that are dangerous to your spiritual life.
We are going to look at the following verses in this chapter.
1. John chapter 4 verses 1 to 3.
2. Acts chapter 5
3. Acts chapter 17 verses 10 to 12.
4. 1 Peter chapter 5 verse 8.
5. 2 Corinthians chapter 11 verse 14.
6. 2 Corinthians chapter 11 verses 14 to 15.

Number 1.
The first scripture that we are going to look at is
1 John chapter 4 verses 1 to 3. What does it say here?
a. Don't believe every spirit.
b. There are many false teachers.
c. The Spirit of God confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh.
d. The false spirits will deny this fact.
e. The spirit of anti Christ was already at work in those days and it is even worse in our day and age.

Number 2.
Acts chapter 5.
Here we read of Satan at work in two believers, Ananias and Sapphira. They thought that they could get away with lying to the Apostle Peter, but God saw it and told Peter what was going on with these twp people. Their deception cost them their lives.

Number 3.
Acts chapter 17 verses 10 to 12.
The Christians in Berea listened to what was being told to them and then went and checked it out for themselves. That is exactly what we should be doing whenever we are at a meeting, check out what the speaker is saying and if it is right accept it. If it is wrong then reject it. How often do we do this in our modern times? We are all guilty of not doing this at some point or other.

Number 4.
1 Peter chapter 5 verse 8.
What do we have here? Several things which tell us what our enemy is like and what we should be like as well.
a. To be sober and vigilant. This is for us who know the Lord.
b. The devil roars like a Lion to frighten us.
c. He is looking for something to eat. You and I.

Number 5.
2 Corinthians chapter 11 verses 1 to 4.
We need to be aware of the deception like Eve fell for in the beginning of the Book of Genesis. What did the enemy say then? "Has God said?" This is still the same sort of trick the devil uses today. Another question the devil asks is this, "Does God really mean what He says?" or "The Bible doesn't really mean what it says".

Number 6.
The Angel of Light.
2 Corinthians chapter 11 verses 14 to 15.The false making itself look good. Beware of these fallen angels. Remember the wreckers of old who put up false lights near rocks to wreck ships that were unaware? These false lights of old were put up by people to steal what was laden on those ships and when the wrecking was over the crews were murdered by the wreckers to get rid of the evidence.
That is what the enemy wants to do to us as well, wreck our spiritual lives. So please, be wary of any new movement that comes your way by testing it against the Bible, and if it seems wrong then it probably is wrong.

Chapter 7 - What is the deception?

The letter of Jude tells us something of what the deception is and why it happened in his day. Let's have a look at the letter. Now go to verse four to start with, where we read that ungodly men have crept into the fellowship who Jude was writing to. What was wrong with these men? They denied that Jesus was God and taught the same thing as well.
Verse eight tells us what they are. Verses 15 to 16 say that they were totally ungodly in everything that they did.
How do we combat this sort of error? Go to verse 3 and fight for the truth of what we know to be true.
Turn to 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verses 1 to 13. Here we read more about the coming deceptions to this world of ours.
That was written nearly two thousand years ago, so how much nearer are we to that day in 2015? We are getting very close to "end of the age" as described in the Bible.

Please read this chapter and be warned about where you stand before the Almighty God and if you are being deceived or not.
Let us now come right up to date with what is going on now.

Since the 1990's a lot of false churches have started up and a lot of the cults have come and gone , or have been weakened, in the years prior to 1995. The enemy has changed his tactics again and is now going ahead with these super churches which get 20 000 people coming every week to a meeting or a service. The false ones are after your souls and your money. What you get in return is an easy salvation which is no salvation at all.

I make no apology for what I am going to say next which is, to keep away from the Purpose Driven and Emerging churches, also keep away from the Empowered 21 movement as well, and others which I have come across in the pages of this study.
Another group to be very wary of is the New Apostolic Reformation, NAR for short. Why? Because they will lead you into error and ruin your spiritual life.

So, what is the deception?
a. False churches looking like the genuine ones.
b. False teachers pretending to preach the truth, but preach lies.
c. Saying that God doesn't mean what He says in the Bible.
d. False leadership titles and names which are not scriptural.
e. Salvation by God's grace not taught. Salvation is now by grace, church laws and social work.
f. Church leaders involved in the Freemasonry.
g. Homosexual partners now as church leaders.
h. Ecumenicalism.
i. Money not being used for the purpose it was given.
j. Mega church offices and buildings.
k. More leaders than workers wanting to rule the religious world. Only members of these secret societies will be the leaders.

l. Repentance not taught.

I could go on and on here but will stop as that should be enough to start making you think about where you stand in all of this.
A question I want to ask you here is about the Television Evangelists and to where does a lot of the money that you give them go to and what is it being spent on? I am not after the genuine ones who do a lot of good to our fellow human beings, but the ones who are out to make money out of people like you and I. I have heard all sorts of things from these so called Evangelists. They have private planes, several big houses, big cars, fly round the world first class etc. etc. I have heard and seen it all before and it puts me off supporting such people as they are not using it to further the Gospel but for themselves. Remember the film "Elmer Gantry"? That is exactly what the main character in this film was doing. Posing as a preacher to make money out of people. If this is you who are reading this page then you need to repent and change your ways of doing things and start putting the Kingdom of God first rather than your own personal things.

When I go anywhere to help in the work for God I travel economy class and pay for the trip out of my own pocket and I do not ask for money from anyone. Not to say that I do not need money to run the charity which the Lord enabled me to set up some years ago. But, I trust God to send the money in without my begging for it. Go back to the Bible and see what Jesus and the Disciples had. Nothing. They owned nothing. Jesus didn't even own a suit of clothing from what I can tell by reading the Gospels. So why do we need all of the things which I mentioned earlier? Why can't these Television Evangelist travels by the standard class when they fly anywhere? That would save them some money to use it in the work of the Lord somewhere else. When out preaching why not stay with a family in the church where you will be speaking. Why not use public transport instead of hiring big cars? This is just a few ideas that could be so readily used by these people.

When I was a young Christian, the church I was a member of used to have visiting speakers for conferences during the year and we put these people up in our own homes. They stayed with the families and the families were blessed to have them staying with them. By doing this you got to know them as friends and learned more about their calling and the countries where they were working in. No hotels then.
In our modern times people would rather believe anything than the truth as set down in the Bible. It is easier on the ear to believe a lie, because when are confronted with the truth you have to do something with it. You either take it on board or you ignore it, and people would rather ignore it today as that is easier for them to do.

Before we end this paper could I take you to one more scripture? Turn to Revelations chapter 2 verses 6 and 15. Here you have mention of a group of people called the Nicolaitans. These two verses are very rare indeed as God says that He actually hates something. What did He hate so much about these people? It was that they were teaching that man's ideas took preference over the Word of God. This was rife in those days as it is now where the scriptures are used in a church, but the church programme is more important. For all of us who know and love the Lord the Bible should come before any programme that we have set up, or want to do. It also means that the world's ideas should be subject to the Word of God, not the other way round.

I have used lots of other websites in the course of this work which are listed against the name of the person in an earlier chapter. Again I ask of you that you check for yourselves whether the websites are right or wrong, or even if that applies to me the writer of this work to see if I got things right or wrong.

A late item ( that is worth inserting here) was sent to me by a friend and it is disturbing to say the least to show you how believers are getting sucked into the one world religion.
Quote from the website "Now the end begins." "Former Hillsong worship "Pastor" Darlene Zschech now leading followers to Rome." (that was the headline) Quote, "About meeting the Pope, Zschech said, "what a day. All honour and praise to our Father in Heaven. Thank you, Thank you, Jesus"". End of quote.

Later on in this item she says the following things and I quote, "The prep has begun in Rome" and " This is a celebration of unity and peace in the renewal of the Holy Spirit. Amazing days for the body of Christ" End of quotes. If she and her husband are "senior Pastors" in their church in Sydney, Australia and as such know the way of life, why are they joining in with the Roman Catholic Church and its apostasy? Also in this news item there was a picture of Rick Warren who is quoted as saying "That this Pope was his Pope".
