Massive increase in apostacy and “dead Christians” in America

Only 15 per cent of youth in America say they are Christians. Hundreds of Churches close down every month.

The number of true Christians in America is rapid decline. — The number of true Christians in America is in rapid decline.

There are an estimated 100,000 churches in North America that would be deemed terminal by most pundits. There are another 100,000 to 200,000 that are very sick and could soon be on the deathwatch.

According to our estimates, only 15 percent of the Millennial generation, born 1980 to 2000, are Christians. We are losing our nation for Christ. In the meantime, hundreds of churches close each month. Many more are on the precipice of death.

And while church revitalization may not be the only instrument God uses, it has to be a critical instrument in this spiritual battle.

Would you join in prayer about this urgent and critical need?

Would you consider how God might use you in the effort?

My comment:

The saddest part of Christianity are Christians who deny the scriptures. They set them selves above God, and claim they know better than Him.

One of the deceptions of our time, is linked to false teachings about an “end time revival”, a massive outpouring of the Holy Spirit is our days.

The is absolutely nothing about this is the scriptures. To the radical opposite the last days will be understood as the age of false teachings, apostasy and deception.

In the book of Daniel, Jesus explains that close to the end of the age of grace, the power of he Holy people will be completely broken. Few if any are willing to listen and obey. The presence of the Holy Spirit will simply not be there.

Daniel 12:7

The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand towards heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives for ever, saying, ‘It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.’

God of the Bible do not take pleasure in the fleshy apostasy of men.

Jesus asked Him self if he will find faith when he returns.

He also warn all believers that many will fall from faith, and take the broad road towards destruction. Some few will continue on the narrow path, a an make it through the narrow gates of Heaven.

James 4:4

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

Are you one of them who spread false doctrines, and follow the path of false prophets?

Have you started to compromise?

Have you become a lover of the World?

Do you understand that many claimed to be Christians do the devils work in the name of “Jesus”?

Repent and perish. Come back to your first love, and accept that the whole World will hate you. If not, you will face judgment and eternal punishment.

Bible studies # 27: God tests us by letting Satan perform sign and wonders

Both the true Messiah and the anti-Messiah will perform miracles. True faith in Jesus is accepting Him as the only way to Heaven, and doing the will of our Father.

People who do not believe in sign and miracles, should read the book of Deuteronomy.

Deuteronomy 13: 1-4

If a prophet, or one who foretells by dreams, appears among you and announces to you a miraculous sign or wonder, and if the sign or wonder of which he has spoken takes place, and he says, “Let us follow other gods” (gods you have not known) “and let us worship them,” you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. The LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love him with all your heart and with all your soul. It is the LORD your God you must follow, and him you must revere. Keep his commands and obey him; serve him and hold fast to him.

God allows us to experience miracles for many reasons:

A: God wants to test our motivation:

1. To test if we demands a miracle to believe in him.
2. To see if we take credit for the miracle that has occurred.
3. To see if we start collecting money for the miracles performed.
4. To see if the miracle performed, lead us to follow other Gods.

B: Our God is a God of great miracles:

Psalm 77:14
You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.

C: That God performs miracles, is no guarantee that people will believe in Him

Psalm 106:7
When our fathers were in Egypt, they gave no thought to your miracles; they did not remember your many kindnesses, and they rebelled by the sea, the Red Sea.

D: That miracles has occurred, is no guaranty that Jesus will acknowledge the workers of miracles:

Matthew: 7:21-23

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’

E: That Jesus performed miracles, was no guaranty that people repented from their sins:

Matthew 11:20
[ Woe on Unrepentant Cities ] Then Jesus began to denounce the cities in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent.

Luke 10:13
“Woe to you, Korazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

F: Jesus could not perform many miracles, where people did not have faith in Him:

Matthew 13:58
And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith.

Mark 6:5
He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.

G: God permits false «Jesus´es» and prophets to perform miracles:

Matthew 24:24
For false Christ’s and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and miracles to deceive even the elect—if that were possible.

H: Jesus did not tell his disciples to stop workers of miracles:

Mark 9:39
Do not stop him,” Jesus said. “No one who does a miracle in my name can in the next moment say anything bad about me.

I: Jesus performed miracles to make stubborn people believe in God the Father:

John 14:11
Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the miracles themselves.

Acts 2:22
“Men of Israel, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know.

J: Simon saw many miracles, and wanted to buy the Miracles powers with money:

Acts 8:13
Simon himself believed and was baptized. And he followed Philip everywhere, astonished by the great signs and miracles he saw.

K: Paul was a worker of miracles:

Acts 19:11
God did extraordinary miracles through Paul,

2 Corinthians 12:12
The things that mark an apostle—signs, wonders and miracles—were done among you with great perseverance.

L: One gift of the Holy Spirit, is to be a miracle worker:

1 Corinthians 12:28
And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having gifts of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues.

M: In the end times, the disciples of Satan will have the power to perform miracles:

2 Thessalonians 2:9
The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with the work of Satan displayed in all kinds of counterfeit miracles, signs and wonders.

Since there are both true and false miracles in our days. How can we discern the difference between miracles?

Some guidelines:

True Miracles:

1. Will give Jesus Christ all the honor and glory.
2. The performer, will not take any credit for performing miracles.
3. There will be no demand for money from the miracles worker.
4. The miracle worker will preach the need for repentance, to avoid eternal judgment. (Healing without repentance, has no value).
5. The miracles will lead people to lasting repentance.
6. The worker of miracles will set people free, to follow Jesus Christ.
7. People will not demand a miracles to believe in the message from Jesus Christ. The miracle often surface to confirm the present direction, or to show the new direction in the middle of a cross road.

Satan will like to perform a miracle in the name of «Jesus» when:

1. When some kind of strange and unknown «Jesus» is preached.
2. There is no preaching about repentance, u-turns.
3. The miracle worker will take some credit.
4. The miracle worker will collect money to perform.
5. The miracle will not have a lasting effect (Healing, etc.)
6. The miracle worker will attach his audience to follow his ministry.
7. People will demand a miracles, to believe that Jesus Christ exist . (A unfaithful and wicked generation).

Read from the Koran inside the National Cathedral of Norway

For the first time ever, the Koran was used under the service inside the National Cathedral in Trondheim in Norway.

Kongen1 — The Norwegian King inside the National Cathedral “Nidarosdomen”. In the future this Church might be turned into a temple of all faiths.

The message from the Koran was received with applause by the pupils from two schools. They were gathered to celebrate the formation day of the United Nations (UN.

This is what a Norwegian daily have recorded:

The texts from the Koran was read by two pupils, They read from the Koran after some fellow students had read some verses in the new and old testament. The common messages from both the Bible and the Koran were about the need to seek “peace” and “justice”.

Bodil Slørdal live in darkness. She is a state sponsored Muslim dressed up as a priest .

Faiza from Somalia quoted the “prophet Muhammad” who encourage the listener to chose good over evil. The messenger promised that enemies would be turned into friends.

Laok from Iraq quoted the prophets version of the narrow path. According to the Koran, this is to free a slave and give food to the poor people.

The local vicar Lars Sperre was in charge of the Church service, together with female priestess Bodil Slørdal Sperre. They were both proud to have arranged for this historical event.

– By permitting verses from the Koran to be read, we wanted to hold a mas lead by a spirit of tolerance. We live in a society based on religious plurality. This must be manifested also inside our Churches, explains Sperre.

He was leading the procession of the pupils. They marched into the church before service, and out of the door after the service was conducted.

My comment:

Norway is bowing in the direction of Mecca.

Bodil Slørdal started her religious career as a priestess in a state “Church” in the city of Oslo. Already during her services in Oslo, she exposed her fascination for Muhammad. Several times she quoted from the Koran during mass.

She was promoted, and called to service in the National Cathedral in Trondheim.

When did Norway started on the wrong path?

Norway has for the past two decades being the most committed sponsor in Europe of Islamic terrorism against Israel. Not less than 150 million USD have been spent to support the PLO since 2009.

The Norwegians have been calling curses down on their own heads.

If you are completely blind, you will not be able to see that Islam is on the rise in Norway.

In July 2012 the Norwegian parliament changed the Norwegian constitution. The politicians removed the words “Evangelical” and “Lutheran” from the legal framework of the Kingdom.

Norway struck oil in 1969. This nation of hardly five million souls own one per cent of the shares available on Stock exchanges across the World.

After the return to paganism, the leadership in Norway has been exposed to be corrupt beyond repaid. A true and valid statement: Norwegians are on the highway to Hell, with their pockets full of silver and gold.

Beyond restoration: Jews must face tribulation and the return of the Messiah

Since 1948 and 1967, evangelical Christians have rejoiced with the Jewish people, the faithfulness of our God. But the Messiah did not promise us an easy go from these two victories. The rapture will not come before tribulation.

This boy most likely does not know the Messiah, who is his only hope.

I wrote this letter to you, in a bid to open your heart to the Messiah. Only He can give you hope, and rest for your soul.

Yesterday, I read chapter 12 and 14 in the book of the prophet Zechariah:

Zechariah 14:12

«This is the plague with which the LORD will strike all the nations that fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh will rot while they are still standing on their feet, their eyes will rot in their sockets, and their tongues will rot in their mouths».

The last battle for Zion will not be a Sunday school for people who have disconnected them self from their creator, our father God in Heaven. There are many people who have died and perished in wars, victims of Nazi gas chambers and nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagazaki. But to see standing people, whose eyes will rot in their sockets, will be like the most gruesome nightmare you can ever imagine.

These lost souls will be living people, men and women of blood and flesh. Seriously believing that they were doing something good for God. Even people claiming to be born again Christians will to late discover that they have been deceived by antichrist, worshiping a copy-cat Jesus. This tragedy is mentioned in Matthew 7:21-23:

The party will soon be over. Get ready for tribulation, wrath and judgment followed by glory. — The party will soon be over. Get ready for tribulation, wrath and judgment followed by eternal glory.

We can imagine it was gruesome for Lot, to experience that his wife disobeyed the order of the destruction angels, and looked back towards Sodoma and Gomora. She was Jewish. Still she perished.

In the same way the book of Revelation explains to us similar act of foolishness, by the people who are present on Earth, in the last days of the return of the Lion of Judah.

Revelation 9:6

«During those days men will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them».

Revelation 9:20

«The rest of mankind that were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood—idols that cannot see or hear or walk».

Repent. Make a U-turn, before it is to late. Do not go against the Word of God, and do not join the last battle against Jerusalem.

He who comes in the name of the Lord will save us!
