There is a spiritual war going on in the church, the same way that Jesus was envied for his healing power and authority. I would not have believed that pastors and others would be intimidated by Junette and myself, for wanting to do what Jesus commanded and the reason that He suffered and died.
Instead of embracing each other, there is a game of competition, sorry if some may find this offensive, but I have had much more acceptance from African churches than even from the POAC were I hold my credentials. These churches have had to endure discrimination and un-acceptance. They know about evil spirits and have experienced the power of God.
However, the day of the Lord is at hand and before many may be aware the Lord will come suddenly, like a thief in the night. And when we come before the supreme Judge the question "once save always saved will be answered?
Sorry folks I may be bold but when it comes to eternal Hell, I am proud to say that I am a coward!
We find it great joy to evangelize one on one, like the two young girls we met and accepted the Lord with great Joy on Friday, and the Mennonite woman we met in the park, who was going blind and wanted me to pray for her, first time in a few weeks that tears filled my eyes.
Best of all are the two 36-year-old couple who are Jehovah's witnesses, I spoke to the wife and daughter a week before, and told her the truth about Jesus and the end times, so she came back with her husband, he said to me, I don't like to have doors slammed in my face. I want to know the truth? I told him that Jesus said, "if you search with me with all of your heart you will find me" I printed my chapter on the End Times some 20 pages from my book "refined by fire" they said that they sensed that I was sincere, and will study the information and will be back next week.
There is a tremendous influence exerted by the life of one individual. And the influence is more potent when it is in the wrong direction. History bears this out. Adam sinned and his sin has affected the entire race of mankind. Achan sinned, and because of him an entire nation went down in defeat. Rehoboam's sin split the kingdom of Israel. The sin of Ananias and Sapphira brought the first defect into the early church, and from that day on the church has not been as potent as it was in the beginning.
You, today, are pointing men to heaven or to hell. Now, if you want to go to hell, that's your business, but you have no right to lead a little boy there. You have no right to lead your family and those who surround you there. Even if you want to go, it's awful to lead others. Influence - "One sinner destroyeth much good." Think about it.
Then Agrippa said to Paul, "Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?" Paul replied, "Short time or long -- I pray God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains."
