A True Christian Church is Not Like a
Club
Hey, praise Jesus today, everyone. I
wanted to share a few thoughts that have been on my heart and mind the last
couple of days, and maybe this should be three different videos, I'm not sure,
but I'm going to just share some of the things that have been on my heart. But
the main idea that I wanted to address is why the Christian church should not
be or act like a club. Now, of course, the Christian church of today is exactly
like a club. If you've ever been part of a club, maybe you've been part of 4-H,
or you've done something with animals, or been part of a golf club, a jeep
club, some kind of soccer club, if you've been part of any of those
organizations, you get accepted in by the leadership, by the president of that
club, praise Jesus, everyone. But how clubs work on earth is there is a president,
there’s the leadership of the group, and then they accept you in, you pay your
dues, you show up to the annual meetings
and the weekly meetings or the monthly, and then you go out and you do things
with your club. Now, the Christian church has become a lot like any other club.
And they basically have their weekly or their monthly dues, they call that
their tithe, they have their president, which is their pastor, they have their
set of leadership, which is their elders and deacons. So they basically look
exactly like a golf club or a soccer club or a jeep club or any kind of club
that you could name on the whole planet or in the United States. So I want to
tell you why a true Christian and the true church should never be like an
earthly, worldly club.
The reason for that is because the
leader of the true church is Jesus Christ. It is God, not a pastor on this
earth. See clubs on this earth are run and operated by men and men accept you
into their club and then men kick you out of their club. And that is also how
churches work today. If you join their club and you give your membership to
them, then you've put your allegiance before the man in that church and you're
part of that organization, you're paying your tithe to them and they have
authority over you. So you have been paying your tithes and your offerings and
your dues to this group and they've accepted you and likely they've been
telling you that you're once saved, always saved and you're part of the church
because you have come into their membership and their leadership. But truth be
told, the true church cannot be like a club because God Himself is the leader
and God decides who is part of His true church and who is not. No pastor is
God. No pastor can decide who is part of God's church and who is not. And that
is the end. God is the end of that.
So if a pastor is claiming that you
are part of the church because you pay tithe to his church, that is where he is
dead wrong. There are a lot of Christians who pay tithe. They go to a church. They're
good members of a church. But that does not mean they're accepted into God's
spiritual kingdom, His true church. See God's true church is a spiritual club,
if you will, and God is the king or He is the president of that club, not a
pastor or the leader of some organization. So many churches have went wrong on
this because they literally think that they are Jesus, that they are God. That
they decide who is part of the church. And who is not. And that's absolutely
wrong, guys. The only one who decides if you're part of His body or you're
excluded is God Himself. Jesus knows who His body is and who is not. There are
some people that are part of the true church, that is, they are part of the body
of Christ and they may be attending a church, a localized church body. They may
be part of a club. But most of those members if not all of the members of the
localized Church bodies across your town or your city or America are all false.
They're all apostate. They don't have anything to do with the kingdom of God.
How can they possibly think that they are the ones that ordain who goes to
heaven and who goes to hell, how people should understand the Bible, and if
they're part of the true church or Not? Jesus said that God is seeking
worshippers who will worship Him in spirit and in truth. And the true church
does not worship in the physicality, in the physical things that you can see
and hear and understand in the brick and mortar churches.
That is all a deception. There may be
some brothers and sisters there that do love the Lord and who are entering into
God's eternal kingdom that are part of his true church, but it's also likely
that there is not anyone there that belongs to God's true church. Just because
the name Christian is on a building doesn't mean that it has anything to do
with the Christian church, because the true church is spiritual. The kingdom of
God does not come with signs to be observed, such as man observed them, but it
is inside of you. It is in your midst. That's what Jesus said. So we have to
get away from this idea that we just do church on Sunday, and if we pay tithes
and we join this church, then we're part of the church, and we're going to
heaven, we're accepted in the God's kingdom. That's absolutely false. Since
when did men decide who goes to heaven and who goes to hell? It is Jesus who
decides your destiny. He decides if you go to heaven and hell, and he knows if
you're part of his true church or not. So that's one thing that's been on my
mind to share with you.
Another thing that has been on my mind
is this whole idea that you have to be educated in order to share anything on
the internet, including things about God, as if you have to have went to seminary
to speak about God. The truth is, to speak about God and to be genuine about Him,
you have had to have an experience with Him. It doesn't matter if you went to
seminary. It doesn't matter if you're educated or uneducated. It doesn't matter
how good of a speaker you are. After all, I make a lot of blunders, guys. I say
things incorrectly. I may put a new conjugation on a verb that you've never
heard before or just totally mess up on what I'm saying. But that doesn't mean
that I haven't had an experience with God. That doesn't mean that I shouldn't
be speaking about Jesus. And you are qualified and should be speaking about
Jesus if you love Jesus and if you've had an experience with Him. Maybe you
have been delivered from sin. Maybe you've been delivered from a sickness. Maybe
you were as the guy that had a legion of demons and Jesus set you free. And
then He is telling you to go and share your testimony, the word of God in your
town and in your city so people repent. The 12 disciples were ordinary men.
People realized that they were not highly educated like the Pharisees, but they
had walked with God. They had been with Jesus. And even though they were ordinary
Galileans and they probably slurred their speech and they didn't sound as smart
as other people because they were ordinary. They had walked with God. They had
seen miracles and they had understanding because they had walked with the Spirit
that brought life. And so don't let Satan tell you you have no business sharing
about Jesus. You're uneducated. You don't know the Bible. You don't even know
how to speak English that well. Don't let any of that stuff distract you from
preaching Jesus, because at the end of the day, what matters is your
relationship to the Lord and if you're doing his will. What Jesus wants from
you is to be separate from the world, to be living holy and to be making
disciples, even if that's just people in your own household.
So this is something else, guys,
that's been on my heart because a lot of people are discouraged. A lot of
people are beaten down by the devil. They think, well, I can't talk about God
because I don't know as much as the preacher. It doesn't matter if as much as
the preacher or if you haven't researched as much as brother so-and-so. What
matters is if you're praying, hearing from the Holy Spirit and walking with the
Lord. If you know the right thing to do, you better share it with your brother
or your sister, someone in your family. Go and tell someone about the gospel
because that's what Jesus wants us doing in this life.
So those are two of the things I
wanted to share. Let's see what the last one was. Okay, here's the other thing
I wanted to share. A lot of people these days are leaving church. There's talk
about the church exodus, people leaving the churches, and people are asked why they're
leaving church. A lot of the young generation doesn't go to church anymore.
They're not evangelical. They're not Protestant. I think maybe 10, 20 years
ago, 70, 80 percent of the United States, considered themselves Christian in
some shape or fashion. But now if you do some research on the statistics or the
demographics of how many people are Christians in America, you might find a
number as low as 30 percent, 35 percent of people even claim to be Christian.
So why is that? A lot of people, if you ask them why they're leaving the
church, they will say because they feel that Christians in church judge them
because of their sin, and they don't want to be judged because of their sin.
And so that's why they left church, because Christians are judgmental. They're
always telling you you're sinning, you're a sinner, you're going to hell. And a
lot of the younger generation doesn't want to be told they're going to hell,
and that is the reason why they left church.
So is that a good reason to leave
church or not? Well, for me, I left church partially, possibly due to the exact
opposite reason that most of these younger generation people are leaving. I
left church not because people were judging me for sin or because I saw all the
hypocrisy, but the reason why I left is because of the sin inside of church,
not because people were saying you're a sinner, if you smoke pot or if you do
this, you're going to hell. But I left church because I knew that there was a
lot of sin in church, that was trying to also convince me that sin was okay. And
for my own purification and to keep myself pure, I knew that I had to be
separate from certain family members, certain friends, certain areas.
Otherwise, I just knew that I was going to fall into sexual temptation, fall
into just doing things that were unproductive for the kingdom of God. So that's
part of the reason that I left church is because of the sin there. The biggest
reason I actually left church, however, is because I had revelation after
revelation from Jesus to get out of church because church is as a whorehouse. I
had this message in dreams, visions. The Lord spoke this so many times to me
that to me, it became redundant enough that I was asking the Lord, why am I
still having these dreams that church is like a whorehouse? I think I already
know this, but I continually had dreams and visions where Jesus showed me that
the Christian church of today is like a whorehouse because as a man who is
seeking sexual love goes to a prostitute for love that's not real and he has to
pay money for it, His children or people in the world are going to this
prostitute church, paying tithe, giving their offering, giving their time for
love from this false church that is not genuine. So God wants his true people
out of the harlot church system, out of this Babylon system, so they're not
falling to prostitution. The church of today is like a prostitute to God. And
if you continue to pay tithes to the church, it's like you're giving your money
to a prostitute. If you go in and you sleep with a prostitute, does that prostitute
really love you? Of course not. She's just fulfilling her duty. And the church today
is just fulfilling her duty to have you come and sit in the pews and preach to you,
to love you. They're just fulfilling their duties and giving you the desires of
your flesh or the sensations that you desire so that you will feel good, and
those sensations will be tickled. The same way a prostitute is giving a man
those sensations, the same sensations that are sexual perversion and not what
his wife would be giving him in the holy matrimony of his own marriage bed. So
this is what the Lord showed me over and over and over again, guys.
And it's very important to understand
that with Jesus, His true church are spiritual people that come into His
spiritual church, that spiritually speaking, eat His flesh and drink His blood,
and they're separate from the world. So do we belong to this true church that
God has set us apart to be? Are we part of this peculiar people that are
different from the world that God Himself has set apart and called His
children? Have we been called the body of Christ by the Lord or have we just
been called a member of the church because we pay our tithes to an organization
as a man paves his dues to a prostitute so that she will sleep with him? This
is a very profound and stunning analogy. It was very vulgar to me and visually
a scary thing to understand how God sees it when I was first coming out of
church. But this is how God sees the whorehouse church of today. If you want to
know more about Babylon the Great, the great whore, look what it says,
prophetic and Revelation chapter 17 and 18, because that is talking about the
Christian church of today. And America is included with that, making herself
great, coming out with all these prophets, looking like we're a Christian
nation to the rest of the world, but living in complete idolatry and hatred of
God, living in sexual sin, living in perversion, but acting like we are not
blind, poor, and naked in misery. We need to come out of the harlot church
system, wherever we're at, and come into the spiritual kingdom of God that we
can eat His flesh, drink His blood, and have everlasting life.
So I hope this message reaches you. I
hope this message reaches the ears of someone who needs to hear it. Maybe
you're wondering, where do I go? How can I be spiritually fed? I want to be a
Christian. I want to be a disciple of Jesus, but where do I start? Well, it
doesn't start with the American church. It doesn't start with going to a home
church. It doesn't start with getting into a Bible study. It starts on your
knees in prayer, saying, “Lord Jesus, please open the ears, my spiritual ears,
of my heart so I can hear you. Open my spiritual eyes so I can see you.
Manifest yourself to me in a way that makes sense to me and give me a heart
that beats so I can hear you, and see you, and feel you, and know that you're
real, and be shaped to your image that I may be well-pleasing to you.” You need
to come into the fold of God, be accepted into His spiritual kingdom, which is
spiritually called the New Jerusalem, or the New Covenant, or the Kingdom of
God, or Zion. All of these things are analogies of the New Covenant, which God
gave to us. He shed His blood on the cross. He poured out his blood so that you
could be cleaned, and from your sins, if
you accept His blood, and that He died on the cross, and that He resurrected in
three days, and that if you believe in Him, you will be set free from your
sins, and you will have everlasting life. But you have to believe in him with
your actions. Not just your belief, not just with your mind, but prove it with
your feet. Do you love the Lord your God with all of your heart, and are you
entering into His kingdom?
“Lord Jesus, I pray for those who are entering
your kingdom. I pray for those who want spiritual ears to hear and eyes to see.
I pray that the chains of deception can be broken, that your children may truly
hear your voice and be set free from dead religion, from the false whorehouse
church, from all the things that appear to be godly, which lead to death in the
end. I pray that we can truly hear your voice and live on you, eating your
flesh and drinking your blood, how you call us to do, Lord Jesus. So I pray for
my fellow brothers and sisters in your name, that they may be led by your Holy
Spirit, and not by men who deceive. In your name I pray, amen.”
