Somewhere in the vast expanse of the universe there is a specific place, no one is sure where, that is called heaven. In this place there are three - the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The Word of the Lord says in Ecclesiastes 3, there is a time appointed for everything, and the Father has a purpose and a season in which to fulfill it. For the past several years the Spirit has brought forth a message from the Father to many of His servants world-wide that this is the beginning of an awesome visitation to the people of this earth to bring forth and manifest His Son, Jesus, in a great and powerful way. Know that this is the time of the latter rain and God's purpose is to bring His people together in love, unity, and in the power of His Holy Spirit. The Word of the Lord says in Ephesians 4:11-13 that the purpose of the church is to equip the saints for the work of the ministry. Jesus said in Acts 1:8, "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." But know this! The Father has had to fight a great enemy called Religion. This is the tradition and ceremony of man. This is the one which employs those who build monuments unto themselves, who put their names on the doors, and have more programs than the local computer store; all of it done in the name of Jesus. Now is the time when the voice of one crying in the wilderness is heard: "make straight the way of the Lord." For God is screaming from His throne in heaven as in days of old: "SET MY PEOPLE FREE!" God will no longer tolerate any person or group that attempts to hold onto their people and keep them in religious bondage. There shall be many that God will remove. Know that there shall be a great and awesome demonstration of the power of God, but there shall be a cry that rises up against it from the religious leaders who fear losing their power, their finances, and their people. Yet surely the Lord shall raise up an army from the inhabitants of the earth to go forth unto all the corners of the world, "for many are called but few are chosen." God will not dwell in an unclean vessel nor shall His people be restrained and restricted by rules and regulations and the bondage of religion. For His Spirit is one and His body is one. There shall come a time very soon when the people of God are gathered together and the Word of the Lord shall be fulfilled from 1 Corinthians 14:26, "When you come together, everyone has a hymn, or a word of instruction, a tongue or an interpretation. All of these must be done for the strengthening of the church." Those who are committed to the Lordship of Jesus Christ shall prostrate themselves before God and weep for His glory. They shall not leave His presence to take an offering or start the Sunday school or organize the choir or carry out a pre-selected program. No longer shall the presence of the Living and Almighty God be treated as a light thing. Know for sure that the Lord shall have HIS WAY. He shall bring forth a people of His own and this army shall move in the power of God. They shall have visions and dreams and there shall be prophecies, words of knowledge, healings, and miracles. They shall be His witnesses unto all the world, and the Lord God has promised to remove all who resist Him. How many of your practices have their origins in the traditions of men; that claim to be led of the Spirit yet do not allow the Spirit to lead the people? This visitation shall bring forth a revelation and understanding of that which is profane and that which is not; that which is holy and that which is not; that which is of God and that which is not. Satan and his demons will bring forth a fierce battle against God and His people and, as always, it shall be brought through religion. There is no more dangerous spirit alive today than the religious spirit. It is the same spirit that nailed Jesus Christ to the cross on Calvary 2,000 years ago. Make no mistake! This spirit of religion has great power. Ask yourself this: If beginning tomorrow no preacher or minister could take an offering, if no preacher or minister could have control over the people, if they could not take glory and honor for themselves, but in fact, each preacher or minister would have to suffer for the cross of Jesus Christ - how many would be left the next day to proclaim the gospel? How many would make it their purpose not to build a church or build a kingdom for themselves but to expand the kingdom of God? The scripture says in Joel 2:1, "Blow a trumpet in Zion and assemble the congregation." The trumpet is a sound loud enough to be heard by everyone. Know surely that the trumpet is being sounded now and the body of Christ is being called together. How many will respond? Will you? Surely it is time to "look up for your redemption draweth nigh." But Jesus is not coming to take an offering, or begin Sunday school, or carry out any program or plan of man. He is coming for a people who are sold out, dedicated, and committed to Him - forsaking all for His cause. You have yet a little time as the banquet supper is being prepared. Make your decision now, or for all eternity hear the solemn cry of this tract echo through your mind. This tract is a prophetic word from God given to Rev.

Poster Comment: Wielding the sword of truth to cut through the bonds of religion. Matthew 11:18-19. 7 And as they departed, Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken with the wind? 8 But what went ye out for to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? behold, they that wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? yea, I say unto you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee. 11 Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come. 15 He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 16 But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows, 17 And saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. 19 The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. 20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee. 25 At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26 Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27 All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him. 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. http://kingjbible.com/matthew/11.htm "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." "Turn to God and change the way you think and act, because the kingdom of heaven is near." http://bible.cc/matthew/3-2.htm / http://kingjbible.com/matthew/3.htm "ARE YOU A FOOL? "The way of a fool seems right to him, but a wise man listens to advice." (Proverbs 12:15) The American Heritage Dictionary defines the word fool as one who shows himself, by words or actions, to be deficient in judgment and who gives little thought to verifying or proving. There are those who say that it doesn't matter what you believe as long as you're sincere... BUT YOU COULD BE SINCERELY WRONG!!! Take, for instance, the person of Jesus Christ. Either Jesus was who He said He was, or He was the most proficient imposter the world has ever known. There can be no middle ground, no gray area in this matter. This Jesus has to be the Savior of all the world...the only way to God...or He was a bigot, a liar, a fool and the greatest flimflam artist of all time. IT HAS TO BE ALL OR NOTHING WITH THIS JESUS! C. S. Lewis once said, "I'm trying to prevent anyone from saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him...'I am ready to accept this Jesus as a great moral teacher, or one of the great prophets, but I don't accept His claim to be God,' This is the one thing we must NOT say. A man who was merely a man and said the sort of things that Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher, he would either be a lunatic or else he would be the devil of hell ." Now at this you must investigate and make your choice. Was this man Jesus the Son of God or a madman or demon? You can call Him demon-possessed, the greatest cult leader of all time, totally insane...or you can fall at His feet, repent and call Him Lord and God. In John 14:6 Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man cometh unto the Father BUT BY ME"! In John 10:9 He said, "I am the door, BY ME if any man enter in he shall be saved." John 3:16 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth IN HIM should not die but have eternal life." It does not say you can believe in Buddha or Joseph Smith or Mary or anyone else and have eternal life and it does not say you can be saved by your church, your religion, or your intellect. For the Bible says in Acts 4:12, "Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved." There is only one Intercessor (1 Timothy 2:5)...not Mary, not Buddha, not departed spirits, but the one time occupant of the only empty tomb - Jesus Christ. If you have not yet fallen at His feet as though dead and acknowledged Him as Lord, you take the chance of dying in your sin. You will spend eternity in hell, without Christ, without hope... and all because in your pride you relied on your intellect, foolishly rejecting the only door. Will you ever stop striving in your theology and your endless religious traditions and just simply accept the only answer there is...the reality of John 3:16, "For God so loved the world HE gave HIS only begotten Son that WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHALL NOT DIE BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE." Your church, your doctrine, your religion... all of these put together will do you no good without Christ. The church no longer walks in obedience to God's Word. THE BIBLE SAYS: Go into all the world and preach the gospel... THE BIBLE SAYS: Feed the hungry... THE BIBLE SAYS: Visit those sick and in prison... .....THE BIBLE SAYS: Take up an offering for the poor... THE BIBLE SAYS: God shall supply all your needs... The biggest complaint the unsaved have against the Christians is not their holiness, their faithfulness, their humility before God... it's their money-grubbing tactics. It's a justifiable complaint. It's the example they see. Most of those 'Christians' who are in the public eye will use any gimmick to get a buck in their pockets. The church is indeed in sad shape today. May God have mercy on her. But that is not the reality of Jesus. Because you are disillusioned with the Christian sector does not mean you can find your way to God by avoiding Christ. The Bible clearly shows us the way to eternal life. We can choose to believe God's Word or not, but unbelief will never nullify His Word... There are two kinds of fools: those who cannot change and those who won't... ARE YOU A FOOL?"
