New Paper
Recently, I have been dealing with personal attacks on my software, computers, personal living accommodations, physical body, organs and a whole lot of other issues. Such as finances. Nevertheless, I understand that many times it just comes with the territory. I mean, if you are going to "take the land, "you better get ready to fight some real giants.
Nonetheless, there is nothing more frustrating to me, as when I feel this need to write as moved by the Holy Spirit, yet for reasons unknown I just can't finish my "Papers," in which I start, so mant times, I will just leave them to finish later. Yet 'later,' never comes as I lose my "anointing," to write.
So, generally I will have a number of papers which are only half written. Nonetheless, today I have felt an urge by the Spirit of God, to just release them even though they are only half finished.
And though they aren't finished I am sure that many will understand where my thoughts were intending to go. You see, a while ago, as I was gleaning the various ministries off of "YOU TUBE" I realized that there are many in American Christianity and they haven't a clue about what a real church is.
We have thousands of so-called ministries on Social Media who all claim to be representing the church, or as disciples of Christ, but the problem is that none know him. And so, in some of these papers I am going to give examples of what is not a Christian.
Years ago, there was a saying by many ministries who were "Spirit Filled,' and on fire for God. You see, they would explain to their prospective fellow believers that, "I could stand in a garage for ten years, yet it would not make me a "Car."
Well, I feel that this message is needed more today than at any other time in American Christianity.
Yesterday, when I heard that there was going to be a revival on the National Mall, I also heard that one of the Christian pop stars was going to be a headliner. Well, she had also been involved in a few controversies and was Pro LGBT LMNOZ, whatever that is? You know, many Christians just believe what they want to believe and are very sympathetic to practices which the "word of God," has condemned.
Thankfully, today when I attempted to verify the fact before I wrote about it, I couldn't find the hearsay which was spouted. But my point is that more than likely she would have been welcomed and highly respected had she shown up to sing one of her decade's old classics.
You see, the church has always had a problem with "Idol worship," of various individuals and this is wrong.
People which are sometimes "Flash in the Pan," Christian heroes can become like old left over vegetables in your refrigerator from three or four months ago.
Trust me, you don't want to open the container to see the product, just dump the Tupperware in the garbage bag and then place the garbage bag in about two or three more bags to cover up the smell.
But seriously, a number of months ago, as I was gleaning "YOU TUBE." I found numerous so-called Christian ministries condemning "Spirit Filled," ministries and churches, as well, as preachers.
They are constantly lied about, slandered and gossiped about, but worse has been the many innuendos spoken against the Preachers, although there are many who deserve their notoriety as not being an example of "Integrity."
Nevertheless, you don't condemn the entire movement, as many have.
I also noted that many are or were condemned simply because they claim to have "healing," manifested in their ministries.
Well, could I give you a suggestion on the matter?
If these same people were living in the era of Jesus Christ when he was walking the Earth, then they would be the Pharisees of the day who did the exact same thing by condemning him for his "healing,"
Could I make another observation of the church today?
A few years ago, I began visiting and making the "word of God," known on the various Fox Programming. I believe that many became familiar with a gospel that they had never known before through many of my writings and actions.
Some were receptive, some were not, nonetheless, few could deny the questions which the Holy Spirit was surely asking of many. Nonetheless, it made many uncomfortable.
"Why, that person shouldn't be getting so personal with his preaching of the gospel, or why does he keep talking about another experience than my theology that "Every good person goes to heaven?"
Anyway, after a few years, there was an incident and Charlie Kirk was gunned down who was also a confessing Christian. Well, honestly, as God is my witness, I had numerous individuals confront me as if I was a heretic of the worst kind and I had just stolen from the masses billions of dollars.
There were numerous individuals who as much as 'spit in my face,' and then every one of them would get on their soap boxes, and tell how that Charlie Kirk was a real Christian and there have been none to compare him too.
They would say repeatedly Charlie never shoved the gospel down any one's throat insinuating that I did because when I preached many times my "words," would become a two edged sword, "which would pierce between soul and spirit."
Hebrews 4:12 New Living Translation
12 For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires.
Well, I couldn't have said this a year ago because I wouldn't have known whether I was going to set off some "Right Wing," advocate. You see, when I saw the reactions of so many people who suddenly were against me, I realized that many of these people were acting irrationally. Nonetheless, I was as respectful of Charlie and his unfortunate dilemma as any of them, as well, so the hatred toward me didn't remain long.
Nevertheless, my point is that many times people are moved by feelings and events, yet they are lacking in any real concept of reality.
You see, I knew what was happening was just a temporary reaction to Charlie's shocking death, but eventually it was going to die down.
I knew that when there was all this talk about what this "ministry," was going to do and how great it was going to become, more than likely it would not be happening as thought by many individuals.
You see, I have been observing the church for over five years and I have seen ministry after ministry go through the loss of a leader and even though the Leader had been greatly influential in all aspects of ministry many times there becomes major problems that set in.
Well, I don't believe that Erika Kirk had more than a month of rest before Satan began his onslaught against Charlie's ministry and his family.
But you see, I knew this was coming and I know what is about to follow.
But this is the reason why there has to be laid a greater foundation toward Christ.
Are you tracking with me?
"Well, I became a Christian or Catholic because Charlie thought that it was cool."
No, sorry Bub, but you didn't build your foundation on a rock I think that it is planted on an Ocean Beach under maybe two inches of sand.
For one, I believe that this ministry has to establish just what kind of church they are to be or if they are to be a "Church."
And so, it was a number of months after Charlie's death and I happened to visit online one of his later tributes which was calling all like minded individuals to attend. As I heard the speaker who I was familiar with I realized that he wasn't a typical "Born Again," brother or sister in the Lord, but he was a conservative well-known personality.
As I listened to maybe ten minutes all that I heard was for the individual to speak about anecdotes concerning his relationships with celebrities, (I guess, that I am politely saying that this individual was doing a lot of name dropping) and in each anecdote it seemed to end where this person had come out the better and in at least one where it seemed as if he made the other to look as a buffoon?
Nonetheless, it was almost as if you could hear the Ohhs and the Ahhs, from the audience. And I am not saying this as to condemn it, but I had been led to believe that it was suppose to be a meeting which would strengthen the "Body."
And so maybe I judged it a little too harshly, but I thought "This is basically a "stream," which is more concerned with the personalities of men and not so much as of Christ strengthening the movement.
Nonetheless, my point is that I was confused as to how they could call this a sort of 'religious gathering,' or solely Christian, yet there was no concrete term of defining them as such.
But you see, I had to ask myself, "well, are these going to be considered Christian events, as I had been under the impression that they were being billed as such or are they more defined by "Conservative meetings?"
And I say that because there were so many individuals who had some kind of conversion after Charlie's death, but when asked about why they decided to go back to church or became Christians, many would answer, "Well, because Charlie...."
So what I am saying is that in order to become a real Christian you have to be "Born Again," not to have an experience similar to an epiphany in which you now wish to become as a "Catholic Saint."
Are you tracking with me?
I have always respected Charlie's faith and believe him to have been a great man, as he had a great influence in this world upon others, but I am not going to base any one attribute of myself on anyone other than of Jesus Christ.
And this is not to say that Charlie had attributes other than Christ inspired, but my allegiance is to the attributes in which Christ had shown, not by what any man has shown.
One of the most famous parables of Jesus was concerning the foundation built for a house.
AI Overview
The Parable of the Houses Built on Foundations (often called the Wise and Foolish Builders) is a well-known story told by Jesus. It appears in the Bible Gateway at the end of the Sermon on the Mount and emphasizes the necessity of putting faith into action. [1, 2]
The parable illustrates the importance of building your life on a solid, unwavering foundation rather than a fragile one: [1]
• The Wise Builder: This person digs deep and lays a foundation on solid bedrock. When severe storms, rain, and floods hit the house, it stands firm and does not collapse. Jesus likens this builder to anyone who hears his teachings and puts them into practice.
• The Foolish Builder: This person builds a house directly on the ground, or on shifting sand, without a proper foundation. When the exact same storm and floods hit, the structure immediately collapses, resulting in a devastating fall. This represents people who hear Jesus's words but fail to obey or act upon them. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Core Meaning
The parable highlights that the trials and hardships of life are inevitable for everyone. The true test of a person's character and faith isn't whether they experience difficulties, but what their life is anchored to when those difficulties arise. [1]
You can read the full text and explore different translations of this teaching on Bible Gateway or explore video visualization and explanations on the Bible Project. [1, 2, 3]
Nevertheless, by not having a foundational description of 'How we are defined as Christian," then you are sort of just saying "Hey become part of our ministry and you can tell us your definition of "Faith."
Well, what I am trying to say is that in America at present this is pretty much how we have been describing "Christianity."
I mean, some are "Christians" cause Charlie became one and suggested that it is a better way of life.
Some have decided to become "Catholic," because through Charlie and others many politicians or celebrities don't really y have to openly say, "I believe in Jesus Christ."
No, it's great man, you just show up at church a few hours a week, drop a dollar bill in these really cool baskets with the long handles, and your literally "in like Flint."
There's really no rules anymore against living with your girl friend or sleeping around with an alternate partner, all that you have to do is to tell everyone that you are engaged or have a special relationship as a "disciple," of the new "Jesus."
"Well, doesn't this cause you to make others to "SIN," or to commit adultery?"
Naw, it doesn't matter because these are the new ways to get around those old Ten Commandments. You see, God knows all about it and doesn't care, so long as we do it where were not seeming to be open about the sin.
God's cool man, haven't you figured that out by now?
And so what I am saying is that it is not just certain corporations or such, but it is the entire church.
Many times the Bible would describe the state of Israel as "Sheep without any kind of Shepherd."
Well, welcome to America.
But are you understanding what I am trying to say?
There is no foundation to anyone's FAITH, when it is based on "Charlie thought it was cool."
There is no foundation to your "FAITH," when you decide to be a trending Christian or Catholic.
So, anyway a number of months have passed since I witnessed this speaker at a Charlie Kirk event. Once I even thought that he was poking a stick at me. The guy made a statement one night and he said "Well, my two buddies and I were having our Bible Study when we came across this passage where it says, "If you are not for us, then you are against us." Or something to that effect.
Well, I believe that he was saying "Looks like you left the "Faith," since you were known to have sinned and if you are no longer with God, then you are against Him." Not like myself and my two buddies who hold regular Bible Studies now."
AI Overview
It can seem confusing because the Bible actually records Jesus saying both sides of this phrase in different contexts. The meaning changes entirely depending on whether he is talking about outsiders doing good deeds or people refusing to commit their lives to him. [1, 2]
The two situations described in scripture provide clarity on his meaning:
1. "Whoever is not against us is for us"
• Where to find it: Mark 9:39-40 and Luke 9:49-50
• The context: The disciples told a man to stop casting out demons in Jesus' name because the man was not officially part of their group. Jesus rebuked the disciples, telling them to let the man continue. He explained that anyone doing good works in his name is essentially on their side.
• The meaning: Focus on unity over tribalism. When people are trying to do good or spread a positive message-even if they do not belong to your exact group, church, or denomination-they should be treated as allies. [1, 2]
2. "Whoever is not with me is against me"
• Where to find it: Matthew 12:30 and Luke 11:23
• The context: Jesus had just cast out a demon, and the religious leaders accused him of doing it by the power of Satan. Jesus argued that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand, and that his actions were proof of God's kingdom breaking through.
• The meaning: Spiritual neutrality is impossible. When it comes to making a personal commitment to follow Jesus, you cannot sit on the fence. In this specific context, failing to actively support and align with his mission is the same as opposing it. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Putting it together
Jesus is teaching two different lessons:
• When looking at outsiders doing good work, we should be gracious and view them as allies.
• When looking at our personal commitment to God, there is no middle ground. We are either wholeheartedly committed to his kingdom, or we are working against it. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
But what this gentleman was trying to convey was that "Hey, I heard that you were caught in sin and can no longer be considered part of the Lord's inner circle."
Well, I had never heard anything so funny in all my years and could I tell you why?
"It was because here you have this new believer and like many new believers they end up thinking that they have mastered the entire Bible, Christianity, and the secrets of the heavens, shortly after a conversion or imagined conversion?
You see, I have been following the Lord through much persecution, through much hardship through so many trials that I wonder to this day how I ever came out of my many trials and testing's and we are talking fifty years of this crap.
Nevertheless, and then to have this upstart who perhaps at one time mumbled something like "I accept you Jesus, thank you for making me a disciple and powerful leader in the church."
"Now, I am going to go around and correct everybody to get them in line with our thinking."
I am sorry, but I had to laugh. Apparently, after the Lord looks down at all that you have gone through in your life, this guy apparently thinks that if Jesus happened to see you sin then you are kicked out of his kingdom and banished forever???
I can tell you that you haven't a clue of following Christ, until you can say that it has been fifty years, and then it is still as if you are reading from first grade Primers. Nonetheless, this guy had the whole thing figured out in a just a few months.
God have 'mercy,' on our souls.
I hope that you all are understanding me, this is why when you go on Social Media or You Tube, all that you see are Christians attacking one another or any "Spirit Filled Ministry." You see, due to the covetousness and the greed which has been propagated in the last few decades of the American Church this is the attitude that many have.
Do you understand what I am talking about?
Jesus didn't come to condemn and to divide the church, Satan did.
Therefore, you are either "with God," or "against God."
It is not because of a sin you committed, it is always a 'Heart," factor.
Are your hearts aimed at restoring righteousness and goodness back to our Nation or are you set in your ways to blaspheme the work of the Holy Spirit on Earth and to further the "Kingdom of God," and not of self?
Well, that's not the nature of God, and that is why God has become such a failure to the ideals of what is preached in the churches in America.
They all have a wrong idea about Him and just want to be exclusive as if God only has room for "My Kind."
Well, that's not God.
So, it was a few months ago, when I saw all this division and as I witnessed to so many of these so called ministries on You Tube, I preached about blaspheming the Holy Ghost and how that it can be an unpardonable sin.
Well, apparently it was as I stated and the Holy Spirit confirmed to a number of individuals that 'Yes," what they were doing was wrong.
You see, I know this because there is hardly a Christian in America who will obey another Christian just because they are calling out "Sin."
No, normally they would need a lightning bolt to hit them square in the butt for them to humble themselves and to actually repent. This is just that evil nature that each one of us was born with.
Well, thank God because apparently, he must have sent a few lightning bolts. And what is really beautiful to me is that I don't have to turn on "you Tube," anymore and see one ministry after another criticizing the "work of another."
You see, this is how God is, he is a God of unity not of division.
To be continued.
....So, do you see what I am saying, in life the most frustrating thing for some is that they can’t buy or own or duplicate that which is given by God and which has come from heaven.
That was why they desired to kill the young innocent Joseph who was only naïve and in essence a threat to no one, at least not up to that point any way.
Well, life hasn’t changed much except many through modern society have figured out another way to rid the world of any Joseph’s.
Do you recall a guy named Jesus?
Yes, they crucify them, but only after they have ignored the man until they can no longer do that.
You see, it is like trying to contain a small fire which was recklessly started, yet no one wants to be blamed for its origin.
Well, in many cases because they were never prepared to handle the fire it grows at a remarkable speed. And soon it becomes a wildfire consuming hundreds of thousands or millions of acres.
Well, how are you going to hide it now?
How are you going to keep those “Truths,” which Jesus revealed in his time hidden?
You see, by their hypocritical lives the Jewish leadership had caused a small lawn fire to be birthed inside a stable in Bethlehem of Judea.
Well, for years, it was kept silent, but one day that little lawn fire grew to be a raging Forest Fire, and the Pharisees, the religious leaders and the rest of that societies scum were all taken by surprise. You see, they never saw it happen. They were like those proverbial “Frogs,” sitting in a pan of slowly boiling water.
And then it happened, they were all brought into the “marvelous light,” and both the good and the bad were found to be deniers of the true “Faith.”
All that they had placed their hope, goodness, and beliefs in came crashing down, as they were just exposed as selfish individuals trying to get as much as they could from life, no matter what the method.
Well, this will be how it happens again when Jesus comes the second time, many will believe that they are on the side of God, when in reality they are merely the reflections of the Pharisees who walked the Earth when Jesus was alive and preaching the only ‘good news’ which could have saved their souls.
You know, I began a number of papers last week hoping to point out the hatred that this country has allowed to take hold in our society. Nonetheless, I never imagined that God on Friday Night would ask me to publish one of the manifestations of a “Gift,” in which I have walked in. Nonetheless, I always do what I see my father doing, so I stepped out in ‘Faith,’ and made a declaration in which I suspected that no one would even consider.
Well, what a shock it was to myself when I learned the next day that once again someone tried to assassinate the President of the United States.
Like many I was surprised, yet thankful. Nonetheless, in thinking about it for a few days, I came to the conclusion, and I am almost sure in my mind, that God was releasing me to share one of the ‘manifestations,’ concerning a “Spiritual Gift,” in which I walk in. And it was because God knew that the following day there would be another attempt on our President’s life.
Let me tell you a story and then give you a hypothetical.
A year or so, before nine eleven, there was an evangelist who had rented Madison Square Garden to hold a seven-week evangelical campaign to win New York City. It was called “Good News New York.” as I recall. I had never done much street preaching yet had known since I was a little boy that one day I would go to New York City.
I am serious, I think it was a Dick and Jane reader as a child which told about them visiting NYC and shoe shopping or something at the Empire State Building. Somehow, when they were teaching out of that reader, there was something in my heart that said, “One day you are going to go to NYC, as well.”
I don’t lie, now wouldn’t that be a dumb anecdote to begin a life of lying again?
I am telling you the truth, there was just something in my ‘spirit,’ that always knew that one day I was going to NYC. And may I add, hopefully, I have got all that out of my system for “goodness’ sake.”
When I consider NYC today, I liken it to purgatory or worse, and I’m not even a Catholic anymore.
Anyway, when this evangelist announced his plans to have a crusade at Madison Square Garden, I was there in my mind. I didn’t know how I was going to pay, I didn’t know where I was to sleep, I didn’t have a clue as to a topographical map of the city. I just thought that NY would be one of the many other cities in which I had traveled to through hitchhiking or motorcycle riding, or the many other ways in which I visited various conventions or crusades around the country.
Well, the time came to go, and my lease was up in an apartment in Nashville where I had been living for the previous year. I decided to hitchhike and was hoping to spend the entire seven weeks of the crusade living as I had taught myself by traveling to other crusades or conventions. Since I had credentials as a professional Truck Driver, many times I would utilize those places to shower daily and take care of personal hygiene and stuff.
Nonetheless, when I got to New Jersey, I hopped on a train and ended up in the subway below Madison Square Garden. Now you have to understand that I had never been to NYC, I figured that it was the largest city in the Nation, but no big deal, I was raised in Detroit, and had visited LA, Houston, as well as other large cities. I had just spent fifteen years living in the Metro Plex of Dallas, where it met with Fort Worth, and Arlington in the middle. I spent hundreds of miles moving within those three cities visiting churches and conferences whatever. Many times, I would travel where a conference of major Christian speakers were and would camp out, as I couldn’t afford to stay in hotels, no big deal.
Why would NYC be any different than any of those other cities?
Well, I am in the Subway below Madison Square Garden, and the doors open on the train. All of a sudden I get off the train and there was barely any room to walk up the stairs once figuring that that was how you got out of there. This was one of the largest crowds that I had ever seen in a public rail system.
I finally got up the stairs out on the sidewalk and I swear there were like at least eight abreast pedestrians all crowding the sidewalks. I mean crowds and crowds of them, I don’t know maybe it was lunch hour, but I had never seen so many people on the sidewalks in any other city. I look around and the entire place was cement buildings, sidewalks, everything was just concrete, and I was reminded of a show that I watched as a kid and they referred to NY as the “City which never slept,” and then there was another which would refer to it as the “Concrete Jungle.” Well, at that moment, I could relate, so I just started walking North,’ I believe. So, I am in so much disbelief, I kept talking to the Lord. “God, what have a gotten me into?
Where in the heck am I going to sleep in this city?
“Look at all of the alleyways God, they are all covered in fence and barbed wire, I can’t even go to the bathroom, God?”
So, I keep walking, but I was trying to figure the time and the money that it was going to cost me to get from New Jersey every day and back to Manhattan. There was no way that I could make that work on the budget which I was on.
(I say ‘budget’ because it sounds good, pay no attention.)
But I was serious, I was like “Jesus” what did you allow me to do, there is no way that I can make this thing work the entire city is like one big block of cement. Nonetheless, I just kept walking north probably in a complete “fog.”
And let me mention that I had to go to the bathroom and all of the shops only welcomed paying customers, the alleys were all fenced in, like what’s a person to do?
Nonetheless, I just kept walking and then it was as if I saw a mirage or something from some corny movie of the fifties.
“Oh my goodness, Jesus is that…..Jesus is that…. Are those things ‘TREES,’ Oh, thank you Jesus, thank you Lord, I promise I will never ever speak negatively again, except toward Democrats.”
“Ahhhh, I’m just kidding there…maybe.
But honestly, I can’t tell you how elated that I was.
I found my campsite where I would retire every night for the next six weeks and sleep like a baby most nights having been so grateful to God for delivering me from what could have been a complete disaster in my life on my journey with God.
You see, you can’t pick up that kind of learning from a ‘Theology Book,’ or a so-called learned Professor.
In fact, you can’t even get that kind of learning from one of our most revered Prosperity leaders, who live by extraordinary “Faith,” having thousands and thousands of disciples laying their “Tithes,” beneath their feet, while they are building their mansions.
I have so many stories of that few months of my life, but today I believe that God has only placed one on my heart to share.
It was one of the last weeks, and I was in Battery Park passing out some tracks, in which I had acquired somewhere. I didn’t have any street preaching history, so I was just doing what I felt God lead me to do. On that day, I felt an urge to go to Battery Park and to pass out the tracks.
So, I am passing these tracks out and just ‘out of the blue,’ I heard the ‘word of the Lord,’ as clear as can be.
So, right inside my belly, I hear the words, “John, tomorrow I want you to go to Wall Street, and to preach on the parable of the “Wedding Banquet.”
You see, I wasn’t even familiar with the “Twin Towers,” as I had never planned to visit or to vacation in NYC, at any time soon. I was familiar with Wall Street, and knew that I could have an influence on many who had not heard the gospel there.
So, I am like, “Okay, Lord, but you know that I have never preached openly on the street.”
You see, ever since I had become a Christian I had worked full time jobs and therefore I had little experience in street preaching.
Well, God remains silent, so after retiring in Central Park for a night’s sleep, I get up and go to Wall Street, headed right where that Bull statue was.
So, as I got there, there was already a crowd, and this was like the beginning of lunch hour. Well, in front of the crowd was this couple dressed to the Max, in some of the finest wedding attire you could imagine, as I recall even the Bride was wearing this huge Bridal train behind her.
And in both of their hands each one was carrying and passing out single bright Red Roses from bouquets they were handling.
So, the fact that I had arrived and was then witnessing a couple decked out in “wedding clothes,” sort of confirmed to me that I had been hearing from God when I was in Battery Park, the day before.
Nonetheless, the Lord told me to preach on the parable of the “Wedding Feast,” and I had never really preached in open air.
I mean, what should I do, get one of those Sidewalk preachers voices, GOD SAYS, I AM INVITING YOU TO COME TO MY BANQUET AND IF YOU DON’T COME…
I’m sorry, but I just wasn’t ready, nonetheless, what I decided to do was to just start reading the parable in my own “voice,” which usually carries with it an anointing. So, for the next half hour or hour until the crowds dispensed, I just read the Parable over and over.
Well, the parable is about a King who wishes to honor his Son, so he calls …

AI Overview
The Parable of the Wedding Feast (Matthew 22:1–14) is best explained as a warning against rejecting God’s invitation to salvation and an illustration of the necessity of being clothed in Christ's righteousness rather than one's own. It portrays God (the King) offering salvation (the feast) through Jesus (the Son), which was initially rejected by Israel (the first guests), leading to the invitation of all people (the "bad and good"). [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key Aspects of the Parable's Explanation:
The story highlights the transition from a limited invitation to a universal one, emphasizing both the grace offered and the requirement of repentance and faith. [1, 2, 3, 4]
So, anyways my point in sharing this is to explain that although God gave a way for many to be saved that day, none felt concerned. Had there been any who had a question or a thought on how I happened to be there that day I would have given them the entire gospel and probably changed their life.
Nonetheless, I remember toward the very last minutes before the crowd was disbanding there was one gentleman who I could tell was curious or interested in what I was saying. It was time to wrap up the project, as I had felt completely like a failure since no one responded in the least anyway. I don’t believe that there was one person there who even acknowledged anything which I said. A year or so later, while I was awakened from a night’s sleep one morning, I happened to turn on the TV.
Well, as I was watching the news, there were two different planes flying directly into the Twin Towers before my screen. At that moment, I called my brother and told him to turn on his TV. Later, I was reminded of a time probably a year in the past where God had asked me to go to Wall Street and I wondered if any of those who were there that day had perished in the Twin Towers.
You see, the Bible is quite explicit on certain “truths,” and one would be wise to adhere to the scriptures.
Nevertheless, in the scriptures there are a few passages where you can read how the apostles exercised discernment.
Acts 14:9-10
AI Overview
The Bible states that it was Paul, not Peter, who saw that a man had faith to be healed, and this occurred in Acts 14:9. While ministering in Lystra, Paul looked directly at a man lame from birth, recognized his faith to be healed, and commanded him to stand up. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Key details regarding this event:
Note: The user likely intended to ask about the healing in Lystra (Acts 14). [1, 2]
Nevertheless, as I was saying toward the end, I felt as if there was one man who had really been convicted in his heart. So, as I said, it was wrapping up so I began walking toward the man, and I was like, “Sir, I would like to ask you a….”
The man started backing away, then he turned away to walk away from that crazy preacher…
I walked a little quicker and I raised my voice slightly, “Sir, I believe that God is wanting you to…..
In the next few minutes that man was literally running down the street to get away from me, but that is what happens many times when God is just really convicting and calling a person. It happened to me years before I had given my life to Christ. I was in a Recue Mission and a Preacher would not let go, when the whole congregation was waiting to be released so they could eat a meal the preacher just steadfastly refused to stop his altar call. Well, I was in the back trembling, but there was no way you were going to get this young kid walk up to some altar in the middle of a Rescue Mission in San Francisco where there were hundreds of these old guys just waiting to get fed.
No Siree, bub. Anyway, after maybe ten minutes more he let them eat, but I never forgot the episode until I was laying overdosed in a hospital finally ready to give my life to Christ maybe five or six more years later.
Anyway, my point in sharing all of this is to ask my readers to imagine a scenario that could possibly happen in America.
One of the things that I learned later from my time in New York, was that apparently there had been other ‘Prophets,’ who were sent by God to warn of the impending disaster at the Twin Towers.
I am not sure as to the veracity of that, but I would like you to imagine, “What if God could actually be proven to have sent a “Prophet,” to forewarn of an impending disaster which was coming to America.”
How would society respond?
Would they do what most cultures do when God sends them a Prophet, or would they be like Ninevah, where the Lord had sent a man named Jonah to save and preserve an entire Nation?
You see, most nations just treat their Prophets as garbage, persecute, and kill them.
How would America respond?
“Oh, I bet that most would just ignore them and then reap the consequences of their actions,” what do you think?
Had to shut down 120- 125 Presence Revival

I have been planning to expose one of Satan’s most vicious attacks on the church in over three decades. You see, there are numerous deceptions by the devil in which he has used throughout the centuries, but one of his more consistent deceptions is for him to have so many individuals believe that they are “Christians,” that they nullify the reality of true Christians among us. Below is a picture of what Satan is trying to do in America.
AI Overview
Following Constantine's legalization (313 AD) and the subsequent declaration of Christianity as the Roman state religion (380 AD), the faith transitioned from a persecuted minority to the dominant imperial institution. This shift, known as the Constantinian shift, transformed Christianity into a wealthy, powerful entity supported by the state, introducing structural changes, political unity, and secular influence.
Key changes for Christianity included:
Clarification on "Declaration": While Constantine enabled Christianity's rise through the Edict of Milan in 313, the official declaration of Christianity as the sole state religion occurred later under Emperor Theodosius I with the Edict of Thessalonica in 380.

Fox Corporation benefits financially from promoting gambling within its sports coverage through a mix of high-value advertising, direct equity investments in sportsbook operators, and increased viewer engagement that drives up TV ratings. By integrating betting content into Fox Sports programming, the company turns passive viewers into active consumers of its betting partnerships.
While Fox has encountered some setbacks, such as winding down the specific "Fox Bet" wagering app to focus on the broader FanDuel relationship, the company continues to aggressively leverage its sports broadcasts to profit from the expansion of US gambling.

Lawrence Jones has spent several months traveling across the United States to research and document the "spiritual comeback" of Christianity among Gen Z for his Fox Nation series, "Revival with Lawrence Jones".
The series showcases the "revival" as a nation-wide phenomenon rather than just a trend, exploring how Gen Z is driving a new wave of faith.
I asked Google AI:
Do you think that we will soon be seeing a Lawrence Jones teaches "Christian Revival," classes and why not?
AI Overview
Based on current media trends, it is unlikely that Lawrence Jones will be teaching "Christian Revival" classes in a traditional classroom setting, but he is actively covering the topic through media and documentaries.
As of April 2026, Lawrence Jones, a co-host on Fox & Friends, has been heavily involved in documenting a "spiritual revival" among Gen Z across America, which he calls a "spiritual comeback".
Here is why a formal "class" setting is unlikely, versus what he is actually doing:
What is happening instead:
While he is promoting the idea of a Christian revival in America through his media work, it is far more likely he will continue to use the Fox News platform to host, document, and interview, rather than transition into a teaching role that offers formal classes.
AI Overview
Lawrence Jones was a Christian with a "profound" and foundational faith—stemming from a background of pastors and preachers—when he initially believed the institutional Church was dying ….
I like what this says concerning Lawrence's “Faith,” apparently coming from ‘a background of Pastors and Preachers,’ he initially “believed the institutional church was dying.”
Well, I don’t think he has been alone in his thinking?
So, I also feel as if the church has been “impotent” of it’s purpose and this is why we have seen so many “walk away from the Faith.”
Nevertheless, I am sharing these insights which I believe the Lord wished for me to post because again, we are shown a picture of “America’s concept of the church.”
There are many who I believe are subtly led to follow the logic of being a Christian because they are regular watchers of some religious media or of following certain television personalities.
This does not make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a Car.
Nonetheless, recently I have come to the conclusion that there are many in America on Social Media or who watch Cable Television and then believe that they have fulfilled all righteousness to call themselves a fellow believer?
“So, why are you a believer?”
“Well, I have been following a televised “Bible Study,” for a number of years now,” where all these ladies meet every week.”
“Well, I have read over five television personalities books about their experiences with a particular church growing up or how they had to struggle through life because they were teased by their little sisters?’
“Well, I go to church because Brian goes and has stated that it is a good idea.”
“Yea, that’s why I am a Christian because of those three guys who meet every week for a Bible Study.”
Well, perhaps, I read this wrong, but these individuals who are many are encouraged to sell or promote their religion as part of their “job Description,” aren’t they?
I don't recall Jesus as having suggested that to any of his disciples.
No, the gospel should be freely given not promoted as a means of revenue for a multi media platform or corporation.
And I am not saying any of these individuals are not serious believers, but what I am saying is that we need to define exactly what Christianity is again before you can rededicate your lives back to following Jesus Christ and to repent as a Nation.
I am also saying that we have made the definition of “What a Christian is, to be too broad.”
Are you a Christian because you are a “Fox Nation,” subscriber and if that is the case could I see some ministerial credentials please?
