A Testimony


 A Testimony 

In 1996, while I was in college, I was given a evangelism tract by a friend. This small booklet explained to me (a humanist at the time) the full Gospel: man’s fallen state, through Adam; our separation from God, who is perfect and holy; and what He (God) did to take away this separation. I read the tract, was convicted of my sin, repented and acknowledged Jesus Christ as

1. The Son of God, who is God

2. The Lord and sovereign of my life

3. My Savior from death and Hell.

I did not realize then, that what happened at that moment, had not only saved my soul, but was going to keep me from falling…over and over again.


Doctrines of demons…in the House of God

“God’s Word is not scripture, God’s word is the message you are hearing from God, and then you speak forth and you attract the reality that you speak.” 

This above quote from Joel Osteen, Your Best Life Now, is a New Age/New Thought teaching known as the Law of Attraction…and is a mainstream teaching in but not restricted to the charismatic parts of the Church. (Osteen is just one of many highly elevated preachers that have brought this and other false doctrines into the Church, deceiving people on mass.)

Essentially this teaches that we, by the power of our words can get whatever we desire (a total twisting of scripture). 

It is a predatory lie that is being used in God’s House, by wolves in sheep’s clothing, who are getting extremely rich at the expense of vulnerable and often desperate people.

For me personally, I all but lost every concept of who Jesus Christ was…which is not surprising, when you reduce the Son of God to a genie in a bottle, who at the magic rub of our words, will appear to grant us the “desires of our hearts” (another hideous twisting of scripture)

I was one of those… I knew I was being taken for a ride, so I walked away from the Church…and came close to walking away from the Lord.

What saved me? The tract that was placed in my hand, that had given me the true Gospel and introduced me to the true Jesus Christ. That is what kept me through this heresy - against all odds. I would argue that if a person is actually “saved” through the preaching of one of these churches, they have not received the true Gospel - nor do they know the true Son of God…when they walk away disillusioned (as so many have), it is twice as hard for them to come back. (Matthew 23:15)

Isaiah 42:8

I know I came back only because, through receiving the true Gospel, I came face to face with the true Lord Jesus Christ: I was truly convicted of sin, and truly and sincerely repented. At that moment I became a child of God…and regardless of what has happened since, He has not let me go.

To preach any other “gospel” than the true, undiluted Gospel of the Kingdom, is to endanger the souls of every single person within earshot. I know, because I have been there!

1Timothy 4:1-2


***As a side note, and before everyone jumps all over me: I am not judging anyone or anything - except doctrine which I consider extremely dangerous (and I am not the only one.) My concern is not only for those teaching this, but the people they are leading astray. This is why I don’t keep silent, but warn against them. Is there a biblical precedent for this? Absolutely. In every epistle except one, we are warned about false teachings, and Paul under certain circumstances even called people out by name, that he considered to be especially dangerous. The person named in what I have written, I also consider to be extremely dangerous, because of what he teaches and the subtle way in which he does it. Of course God will judge them. But as a teacher and minister of the Word of God, I cannot listen to false teachings and stay silent. Rather, as teachers, operating as part of the five ministries mentioned in Ephesians 4, we are called to edify and build up the flock. How can we do this while allowing false teaching to go unchallenged and unchecked? This is certainly NOT what they did in the early church, and it is not what the Apostles and writers of the New Testament have instructed us to do. Whatever I say or write or do, I try to do Biblically - and with as much of the Grace of God that I can contain. But we MUST call out and correct false teachings - especially when they are influencing such a mass of people. Would we rather send these masses of people straight to Hell, because of our desire to protect one false teacher…because he has a big name…a nice smile…because we like him?

The Word of God is the ONLY source of Truth we have, and consequently our ONLY defense against lies and deception of this wicked world. We, as teachers and students MUST stand up for what is written HERE…because we KNOW it is the Word of - not men - but GOD.

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part 1

15  “Can a woman forget her nursing child,      that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget,      yet I will not forget you. 16  Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands;      your walls are continually before me. Isaiah 49:15-16 This most recent prophecy is part of my “Fast for Family”, and again runs parallel with my previous visions - some of which can be read in the footnotes at the end. The Beautiful Remnant of the United States of America  i The unity of baptism : I saw many in America: Many families. They stood as if on the banks of the Red Sea, as Israel under Moses…driven there by the Holy Spirit, perused by the kingdom of the anti-Christ. They had been driven there for Baptism: I saw many families. They went down separately…and when they came up they were one: in the Lord and in each other. I realized that this type of unity…the desire and prayer of Jesus…can only ...

Volume III The Beautiful Remnant of America - Part 2

The Beautiful Remnant of America Part II  So they shall fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun; for he will come like a rushing stream, which the wind of the Lord drives. Isaiah 59:19 Before continuing, please ensure that you have first read Chapter 1 ~ The Olive Press https://undergod714.blogspot.com/2024/03/john-1220-among-those-who-went-up-to.html i ~ The “Hidden” Remnant   “What is a tree without its roots? Roots expand underground in the darkness - the hidden place, that the tree may stand firmly grounded through the storm. This expansion does not come without faith, time, patience and endurance, and goes entirely un-noticed and un-acclaimed,  because it takes place underground . And yet we know that this expansion is essential to the life and health of the tree.  So it is for the Church in this hour… “What is a house without its foundations?  A house built quickly- on sand    - will not stand - but the ...

Volume III ~ The Olive Press

This is the final of three volumes. As with the first two, there is repetitions - the same events but from different viewpoints - and as before, I ask that the reader be patient. You will read again much of what you have already read in volumes 1 & 2 - but there is a twist: Now, there are other nations involved: Because what happens in America will have a direct (or indirect) impact on the nations of the world. I will also write in detail about a global unraveling, that although beginning in America, will affect  the nations of the world. Volume I describes this unraveling, in many different ways. I recommend, before you read one more word of this booklet, to read the first 2 Volumes. Because their purpose is to prepare the Remnant of America for this unraveling.  None of the first pilgrims lived very long, upon entering the New World: But they were obedient to the Lord in the time He allotted them: The seed was sown into the soil of the infant nation. The harvest still re...
