Check out this short video, and examine the facts at the link. We are facing times of serious concern to all.

John Masters speaks candidly about the state of the church.

I, like 100's of thousands, even millions of other Bible Believers am totally dismayed and concerned about the serious and frightening condition of the 'church', not just in the

, but in Europe,

India

, and the

USA

We are in grave trouble, having left the simplicity of faith in Christ, personal knowledge of God, godly living, and above all, the true qualification of every believer which is the token and evidence of belonging to God, .... 'by THIS shall all men everywhere KNOW and recognise that you are My disciples..... that you LOVE one another'.

Untold multitudes of Christians have left off going to church simply because the attitudes of leaders, elders, (and their wives), along with the unloving manipulation by them of the 'body' of believers is against every teaching of the Bible.

Many true believers sit at home on Sundays wishing they had somewhere to go that was not a religious ritual, or some sort of power game, or kindergarten where you are treated as ignorant or mindless.
Many believers know their Bibles far better than the man in the pulpit, and indeed have far more insight than they are given credit for.
The fact is that the true proof and evidence of faith in Christ Jesus, is an unselfish love that reaches out in genuiness and compassion to touch the hurting, the needy, the suffering, the prisoner, the lonely, the unwanted, the unsaved and unloved people of the world. Such love is demonstrated in kindness and compassion especially amongst those who are also like-believers in Christ Jesus.
Without such God-given love, the same love that walked Jesus to the cross to give up His life in order to save a wretch like me, without such love, I say, there is no true Christianity.

It matters not whether you are in the band or choir, or whether you are an elder or even a pastor 'ministering' each week, I say again, without such love, our so-called service is just a clanging broken gong that is nothing but a bad din in everyone's ears.
You may speak in 'tongues', you may have a fine voice; you may speak like an angel and dress like royalty, but without the love of God shed abroad and flowing from your heart, you are nothing but a hypocrite in God's sight. Your church may have the finest instruments and the most talented musicians, you may sing the latest songs and choruses, and all raise your hands in the worship session, BUT without the heart of God it is but a bad smell of pretence and never ever reaches heaven.

You may be a pastor who loves the admiration of the people, and struts up and down in your best Sunday suit, BUT God knows your heart, and God hears the words you speak after you have left the service. You can talk a whole lot about God and Jesus, but not have the slightest friendship or relationship with Him. And that is why you can choose to love some, and reject others, because your heart is prejudiced and partial, and totally unlike the heart of God.
You claim to love God, who you cannot see, but feel free to abuse, despise, slander, mock and even hate the life of someone you can see who was created in the likeness of God, and for the glory and pleasure of God.
How many lives have been distressed, wounded, cut, dismayed, or destroyed by the selfish and false pretensions of a 'believer' or church leader, who claims God has 'called' him or her to the ministry?!

And then many more stay at home because they seem to get more 'food' from the television 'evangelist', and feel that this is an alternative to the meeting with true loving believers (if you can find any). Sadly, the televangelist message and doctrine is often far away from the plan and purpose of God, but still, they have mastered the art of ‘selling’ their make-believe ‘gospel’ of prosperity to people who are desperate to climb the ladder of wealth, or just climb out of the financial pit they are currently in. These so-called ‘men and women of God’ are more concerned with the pleasures of this world, than the judgement to come.
They will, some day soon, be woken up very loudly!
Eventually, those who leave their churches and switch on Christian TV, will also come to realise that the 'god-channel-self-proclaiming church' of the new age is nothing but an emotional sales gimmick ready to fleece anyone and everyone who submits to their continual banter and heretical teaching. (It is of course true that from time to time a decent message gets preached by someone who is not necessarily in their usual 'crib'.)
Multitudes are brainwashed into believing that the god-channel (lower case) has some 'divine mandate' to be the 'end-time means of evangelising the world', and all you have to do to get part of the heavenly reward is to send your MONEY to them, not once, nor twice a year!
This is the most damnable lie since Adam and Eve were tricked in the Garden of Eden. Satan has certainly thrown a web of deceit over multitudes of well-meaning, but unwise Christians.
Everyone of us are called to be witnesses and to go ourselves as individuals into all the world around us, and proclaim the salvation which is in Christ Jesus. Each one of us can have our own evangelistic plan and programme, and put our money and resources where we can take responsibility for that investment, and not just throw it to some fancy-pants spiritual 'guru' or self-admiring 'Christian' television business.

Neither the 'god-channel', nor any other man-made device has ever superseded the simple command of Jesus Christ, "Go ye into all the world, and you proclaim the good news'.
A new 'Reformation' is needed like never before, or it will be too late to recover from the downward spiral of spiritual lazyness, deception, and spiritual wickedness in high places, whether those places are in the pulpit, or in the heavenly realm.
When the electricity goes off, and when the economic crisis reaches the all-out crash that is looming not so far ahead, how will you survive without the sleek television bible-millionaires telling you that everything is fine, and if you keep tithing to their ministry you will soon become very rich like them?

And then how will the world hear about Jesus? How will they come to find the answer to the nightmare of a planet in dire trouble? They will look to the church buildings perhaps...... but who will be there?
So they will look for people who 'really know their God, especially in troubled times', and who demonstrate the tangible love of God in their lives.
The church will grow from the ground, in houses, in fields, in disused factories, in caves, on the beach, in fact, just about wherever people can meet together to find refuge, comfort and shelter.

You think I am an alarmist?
Yes, you are right;
but then I am called
to sound an alarm!

.It's time to wake up! It’s getting late!

The King's at the door, and He won't wait.
There's coming a day when the sun won't shine;
You'll wake up - find you're left behind.

I have set watchmen on thy walls, O Jerusalem.

2009-10-04T13:46:00.007+01:00

Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and you shall find rest for your souls........

Also, I set watchmen over you, saying, 'Hearken to the sound of the trumpet,.......

But they said, ' We will not hearken'.

Are you meant to be a Watchman, but not doing your job?....... Watching television instead?

A SOUND OF BATTLE IS IN THE LAND

2009-09-27T22:32:00.038+01:00

Now is the time for DECISION
Now is the time for DETERMINATION
Now is the time for DEDICATION
Now is the time for RIGHTEOUSNESS

Now are the BATTLES OF SHAKING !

It is time to get up and realize the peril we are in, and stand in the gap urgently, and pray earnestly, that God may have mercy, and send revival to the church, and salvation and deliverance to our lands.

Where on earth are we going??

Last century saw two world wars, the invention of the atomic bomb, the development of the internet, and the rise of worldwide radical Islamic terrorism.

Now, at the opening decade of the 21^st century we stand poised in uncertainty as to our future, and wonder what we can do to avert ecological disaster after spending the last 150 years inflicting abuse upon this sorry planet.

Some still have the rainbow dream of everything eventually getting better, with utopia being just round the corner, but for most of the thinking population, that pretty idea is something left over from a happy ‘hippy’ past.

Even ‘New-Ageism’ is loosing its appeal as followers find that moving pieces of furniture to different places in their homes, or wearing cheap gun-metal charms and chanting mantras to themselves has no power whatsoever to alter the spiralling plunge of man’s greed and selfish ambitions. Burning incense-laden candles and staring into crystals, or worshipping ‘mother nature’ can never rid this world of poverty, sickness, and death.

It seems that everyone senses that ‘something’ is going to happen, and to the majority that ‘something’ is more likely to be very bad rather than good..

The world’s population continues to grow, with

India facing the prospect of having more souls to feed within its borders by 2020 than

China. Inscrutable

China openly seeks to become the great world power with her growing prosperity and her ability to raise an army of 200 million soldiers.

Russia is throwing billions into rearming itself once again for what it believes will be the criteria for survival in the coming years. The Middle East remains the boiling pot readying itself for the next epicentre of military aggression. Everyone seems to want to own a nuclear bomb, or two or more.

Britain’s leaders however have decided at this time to savage its military forces, just to make the bank balance look more appealing to the general population! And then over the last few years gave the bored and unsatisfied population the right to consume as much alcohol as they wish at any time they want – only to complain when they discover that the number one problem in

Britain is intoxicated teenagers and young adults! On top of that this same government decided that they would create a gambling society just to give everyone the ‘feel good’ factor! Then they complain about the moral bankruptcy and selfishness of this same generation!.

India thousands of baby girls are butchered ever they see the light of day, just because they are girls and not boys! In America and Great Britain and Europe countless numbers (millions) of little lives are savagely ‘terminated’ (murdered) every year just to grant people an uncomplicated lifestyle, not realising that that is where the confusion actually begins.

Technology and the steady stream of natty inventions keeps us all amused, and each passing gimmick is quickly replaced by yet another with an extra button or brighter colour! ‘Must have’ makes sure that we buy the latest gadget, appliance, or vehicle, and helps to comfort us and keep away the haunting question, ‘What about the future?’ .

The clever people behind cameras roll out an endless stream of ‘entertainment’ – comedy, soap operas, and silly films that show

America as the messiah of the world and the saviour of mankind. From the terrorist plot to blow up a plane, to the impending geological disaster that threatens the very existence of humanity, the super hero is always there at the end to redeem us all!

It is however interesting to note that many of these films revolve around the theme of a frightening future with foreboding, horror and worldwide disaster.

And the heroes that make everything alright and allow us to breath a sigh of relief at the end? Well, they are the Americans, of course!

Hmmmmmmm………… There were two great towers in New York not so long ago……

Japan, France, North Korea, Iran, Pakistan, India, Russia, China, etc., all have secret tales to tell, and all have questionable futures to play out.

And

Great Britain? Well, here at the hub of the world a nation lies under siege. Not from armies without, but from aggressors within. Aggressors who entered subtly under a cloak of friendship and goodwill, but who now seek to hurt and pull down the fabric of a nation that was the birthplace of worldwide dreams and aspirations, that changed continents and peoples, and delivered a universal language to the farthest extents of the planet. On this very soil of missionary effort that had such success and impact throughout the world, this false and cruel enemy, this Prince of Persia, this Islamic unholy spirit seeks to dismember a great and noble people who he fears, lest they ever get themselves holy with God again.

So where on earth are we all going?

Nowhere really. Just round in circles, waiting for the inevitable, surviving, exploiting, inventing, accumulating; lonely, diseased, crippled and dying; spiralling downward, not upward.

The future?.

Well, some still live in fantasyland, but truth is we mostly do not like to look too far ahead – because we don’t like the look of the truth.

Hopefully we will die in ‘peace’ without having to go through too many nightmares.

Somebody once said to watch out, ‘when they cry peace, peace’, for then comes sudden trouble and destruction.

Oh, and here’s another thought: so you manage to steer clear of too many horrors in life, and manage to get yourself a ‘decent’ sort of death (ho!ho!), you know, the sort where you just go to sleep and don’t wake up……..

The thought?
Oh, yes, - so what happens after you die, and find out that death is not the end?..

Hmmmmmm…….. Someone also said, ‘It is appointed to everyone once to die, …….. but after that there is the judgement.’ YE-OUCH!

Ooooooooooh! Don’t want to think about negative thoughts like that!

EXACTLY!

Only the fool says to himself, ‘There is no God’.

Even Darwin has now discovered the folly of such thinking..

Jesus said there would be wars and rumours of wars, kingdoms rising against kingdoms, and nations rising against nations. He spoke of worldwide catastrophes and rampant diseases, of earthquakes and geological upheavals worldwide..

He spoke of trouble and distress amongst the nations leading up to a terrible war that will ultimately be the last one this planet will ever see. (Most people already know it as Armageddon). .

The Bible speaks of a world ruler that will rise. Following a universal economic collapse (perhaps caused by the deliberate failure of the worldwide web), he will offer peace and prosperity and a central banking system for complete security to a devastated generation brought to its knees.

Nobody will be able to work or use a bank account, or do business or buy or sell unless they come within his system. This leader will insist that everyone carries a code within their body, either on their right hand or on their forehead, which though invisible perhaps, can easily be scanned and will of course be the best protection against identity theft and fraud.

Well now, isn’t that clever!.

If you refuse to take the mark you will ultimately starve to death or be killed.

If you accept this mark you will be cursed forever and never be able to change your destiny.

There is one bit of good news however!.

Jesus Christ said whoever believes on Him will be delivered and given eternal life (everlasting life!).

Sounds a bit too good to be true? He actually promised to return to this world to save every person who truly believes in Him, and who puts their hope and trust in Him.

You can hope that

America can save this world from its certain future – or you can put your faith in God and give your life and future to His Son Jesus Christ.

‘Better to trust in God, than to put confidence in man’ – even if he be a prince or a president!.

Actually, Jesus said that He could return at any time. If you are ready you will live with Him forever.

If not, you will be left behind to face the future and the judgement day of God.

No matter what happens in this world, there are but two possible destinies awaiting every single one of us:

- Eternal life with Jesus Christ.

- Eternal torment without hope in a place called Hell.

Change your destiny TODAY by giving your life to Jesus Christ.

If you are a believer, hooked up to this world and its toys, then you had better shake yourself loose from these things that displease God and make you an adversary to His will and purpose.
The love of the world is not of the Father. If you love the world, then you must also embrace its final destiny. You cannot love God and mammon. You cannot serve two masters. You cannot enjoy the things that rouse God's wrath, and then expect to delight in the blessings of heaven. It will not happen.
