My Brother’s Testimony – Proof We Are The 2 Witnesses
http://shiningthelightministries.com/AquilaJordanTestimony.pdf
If the Democrats fully take over the Country in this election, the church is in trouble!
Biden has already weaponized the IRS, and people who give to conservative organizations have already been targeted for audits!
Don’t you think they will also come after churches?
Armed IRS agents are going to start busting into churches, shutting them down, and jailing Pastors, if the Church does not get serious with God, stop being apathetic, stop watering down God’s standards, repent, and start having all night prayer meetings begging God for mercy and forgiveness!
We need an absolute miracle to save our Country! If the Democrats fully take over, they will be able to impeach the good Supreme Court Justices and pack the Court with extreme liberal ones. Then the church will very quickly be driven underground, just like in Russia and China! And then through the fires of persecution God will purify His church!
In 2016 I fasted from all solid foods and prayed 40 days for Trump to be elected and God to save America. Trump got elected and for the first time since President Reagan there was real hope that America would be saved from Socialism. But then God allowed the Democrats to cheat and steal the election from Trump in 2020. Why? Because even though America became more prosperous under Trump, She did not become any Holier! God’s standard is Holiness not prosperity!
On January 5th of 2021 I wrote a blog post about repentance, I posted it to an Independent Fundamental Baptist Church group on Reddit, they rejected my post and said they only wanted light and fun posts. The very next day the riot happened at the Capital and the Senate decided not to save Trump’s office as President!
The Church is apathetic and does not care about God’s standard of Holiness so God is allowing them to go into captivity, and God has commanded me to stop praying against it! As Moses I have stood in the gap between you and God begging Him not to destroy you! Now He has told me I can no longer protect you! I am only allowed to pray that America repents! The only way to save America now is for the Church to repent and fast and pray and beg God for mercy! It is now up to you! I can no longer protect you from God’s wrath!
As Jeremiah did, I have warned of God’s coming wrath, while the false prophets keep preaching peace and prosperity. And God has promised me that as Jeremiah was protected during the invasion and captivity, so will I be.
God is somehow going to physically separate my family and I from this persecution. Because He keeps promising me that no one will ever prohibit me from preaching. And I had a dream last year after God allowed Biden to steal the election that my family and I were living on an Island and we came to the shores of America and went into our old church in Georgia. The Pastor was no longer there. Most of the people were gone. Many had been martyred or imprisoned. The church was having to hide their Bibles. While we were there the law came in, but did not find the Bibles, they left and no one was arrested, because we were there and God was protecting us. Then I told my brother, we need to get back to our island. Then the dream ended.
Ezra 5:12 “But after that our fathers had provoked the God of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who destroyed this house, and carried the people away into Babylon.”
2 Kings 25:8-21:
8 “And in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which is the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan, captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem:
9 And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all the houses of Jerusalem, and every great man’s house burnt he with fire.
10 And all the army of the Chaldees, that were with the captain of the guard, brake down the walls of Jerusalem round about.
11 Now the rest of the people that were left in the city, and the fugitives that fell away to the king of Babylon, with the remnant of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away.
12 But the captain of the guard left of the door of the poor of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.
13 And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases, and the brazen sea that was in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldees break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.
14 And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the spoons, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.
15 And the firepans, and the bowls, and such things as were of gold, in gold, and of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.
16 The two pillars, one sea, and the bases which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.
17 The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and the chapiter upon it was brass: and the height of the chapiter three cubits; and the wreathed work, and pomegranates upon the chapiter round about, all of brass: and like unto these had the second pillar with wreathed work.
18 And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door:
19 And out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war, and five men of them that were in the king’s presence, which were found in the city, and the principal scribe of the host, which mustered the people of the land, and threescore men of the people of the land that were found in the city:
20 And Nebuzaradan captain of the guard took these, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah:
21 And the king of Babylon smote them, and slew them at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away out of their land.”
People in our society and churches today say they want the “Freedom” to live their lives the way they want too, no matter what God says. Living in sin makes you a slave, it does not give you freedom!
Romans 6:16 “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
John 8:32 “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”
John 14:6 “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Romans 6:16 “Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?”
Stop making excuses for your sin and repent! Get serious with God and beg for mercy on America, or you will soon become enslaved to an oppressive government!
The Bible says in:
Acts 20:28 “Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.”
1 Peter 5:2 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind;
Hebrews 13:17 “Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.”
This means that church leaders are supposed to guard and protect the souls of their people.
One of the most effective ways that is accomplished is through church discipline.
Church discipline not only keeps the people from falling into sin, but it also keeps the wolves out.
Jesus gave us the proper process of church discipline in Matthew 18:15-17 “Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.”
1 Corinthians 11:
26 “For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord’s death till he come.
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.”
All work in the church should only be done by saved and holy people. To allow lost and backslidden people to work in the church makes them feel comfortable in their sin, and it allows for them to lead children and new Christians astray.
Pastors who refuse to implement Biblical church discipline are not protecting the souls of their people, they are feeding them to the wolves!
Galatians 6:1 “Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.”
1 Corinthians 5:
1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father’s wife.
2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators:
10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.“
19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
Just because someone is a church member does not mean they are saved. There are millions of church members around the world who are lost and going to Hell.
And the Bible teaches very plainly that a person who commits a really bad sin like the man in 1 Corinthians 5 is not saved.
That is why Paul commanded that the church cast him out and turn him over to Satan for the destruction of his flesh so that his soul might be saved. Meaning maybe through his suffering he would repent and get saved.
Paul was saying that by committing that sin, the man had proven he was lost, and therefore must be cast out of the church, so hopefully he would repent and get saved.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10 “Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.”
Pastors who do not implement Biblical church discipline are negligent in their duty to guard the souls of their people. They are allowing their own people to feel comfortable in their sin and go to hell, and they are allowing wolves to come in and destroy the children.
Kicking someone out of the church and/or removing them from leadership is as far as church discipline goes.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the church can kill, whip, torture, take land or possessions away not even indirectly through the government like the Catholic church has done.
The Bible says the church is supposed to turn the person over to the Devil for the destruction of their flesh in hopes that they repent, but no where does the Bible say that the church is supposed to help the Devil destroy the person’s flesh.
Now, the church can handle civil suits between church members, but if the guilty party refuses to pay, then all the church can do is kick them out.
1 Corinthians 6:
1 “Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?
2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?”
However, if an actual crime has been committed (like sexual assault) then the Church is to contact the civil authorities so civil justice can be done. Civil authorities are also ministers of God to punish criminals.
Romans 13:
1 “Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.”
Nowhere does the Bible say that a person must do some physical work to punish themselves (like walking around on their knees, or saying repetitious prayers, or whipping themselves etc in order to receive forgiveness and be restored back into the church.)
2 Corinthians 2:
1 “But I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
2 For if I make you sorry, who is he then that maketh me glad, but the same which is made sorry by me?
3 And I wrote this same unto you, lest, when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice; having confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
4 For out of much affliction and anguish of heart I wrote unto you with many tears; not that ye should be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I have more abundantly unto you.
5 But if any have caused grief, he hath not grieved me, but in part: that I may not overcharge you all.
6 Sufficient to such a man is this punishment, which was inflicted of many.
7 So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
8 Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him.
9 For to this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things.
10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ;
11 Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.“
Here the Apostle Paul told the church at Corinth to receive back the man that he had told them to cast out in I Corinthians 5, because the man had repented (turned away from his sin). If at any time penance would have been instituted in the Bible, it would have been here, but it was not. Paul did not command that the man do any kind of penance to be forgiven and received back into the church. He just commanded the church to receive him back, because he had repented. He had stopped doing his sin.
This is Biblical church discipline, and it must be restored or we will never see another world changing revival.
The Bible says in
Ezekiel 22:30 “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”
We are to fight against evil, so God does not destroy our land.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.”
Duty is your moral obligations to God and others. It can also include legal obligations to others.
It is true that all Christian duty can be summed up in one verse:
Luke 10:27 “And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.”
However, because of the moral decline of society and the apathy of the church, people are no longer taught what specific duties they have, and therefore they are neglecting them.
Mark 16:15 “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
1 Timothy 2:4 “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
It is God’s will for everyone to be saved, Therefore, it is possible for everyone to be saved. 1 John 5:14-15 “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.” Also, Mark 11:24 “Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.”
2. Pray that everyone comes to Christ
1 Timothy 2:1-4 “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
3. Seek peace and ensue it
1 Peter 3:10-12 ‘For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil.”
1 Timothy 2:1-4 “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.”
Are you praying for your political leaders, or just griping about them?
4. Seek the happiness and prosperity of others above your own
1 Corinthians 10:24 “Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth.”
Romans 15:2 “Let every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification.”
Love is sacrificially giving. Not selfish!
5. Seek justice for everyone
Isaiah 56:1 “Thus saith the LORD, Keep ye judgment, and do justice: for my salvation is near to come, and my righteousness to be revealed.”
Proverbs 21:3 “To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.”
James 3:17 “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
1 Timothy 5:21 “I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.“
Deuteronomy 1:17a “Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: “
Deuteronomy 16:19 “Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.”
Proverbs 24:23 “These things also belong to the wise. It is not good to have respect of persons in judgment.“
Proverbs 28:21 “To have respect of persons is not good: for for a piece of bread that man will transgress.”
Proverbs 24:24 “He that saith unto the wicked, Thou are righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him:”
Colossians 3:25 “But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong which he hath done: and there is no respect of persons.”
Proverbs 17:26 “Also to punish the just is not good, nor to strike princes for equity.”
James 2:1 “My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.”
James 2:9 “But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.”
Ezekiel 45:9 “Thus saith the Lord GOD; Let it suffice you, O princes of Israel: remove violence and spoil, and execute judgment and justice, take away your exactions from my people, saith the Lord GOD.”
God has made all Christians kings! Therefore, all Christians have the sacred duty to God and their fellow man to remove violence and spoil, and to make sure judgment and justice are executed in their Country and the rest of the world!
Revelation 5:10 “And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.”
Malachi 2:7 “For the priest’s lips should keep knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth: for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.”
Jesus died to save the world and make it better!
John 10:10b ” …I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
Jesus did not just die to save everyone’s souls! But also to make everyone’s physical lives better! How can we have “abundant life” if our world is full of evil and injustice? Therefore, in order to have the abundant life Jesus died for us to have we must diligently seek to remove evil from our world! If we don’t, then we are disregarding His death!
2 Peter 3:9 “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”
The more evil the world is, the more longsuffering God is to wait for Christ’s return, because He wants to give people as much of a chance as possible to repent. Therefore, if the world became Holy, He would come back faster.
Romans 11:14-15 “If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh, and might save some of them. For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?”
That “life from the dead” is speaking of the rapture! Therefore, if the whole world got saved, and especially Israel, then Jesus would come back faster!
Therefore, if Christians want Jesus to come back faster, then they had better stop being lazy and apathetic, and start doing their DUTY to diligently work and pray for the salvation of Israel and the rest of the world! And start doing their DUTY to diligently work and pray for the removing of evil and injustice in the world!
Jesus said one of the best ways to get rid of devils is through fasting and prayer.
Mark 9:25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him.
26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out?
29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
The world is full of devils, who facilitate evil and injustice. Therefore, fasting and prayer is essential to riding the world of evil and injustice. Churches must start calling on their people to fast, and they must start having all night prayer services in order to save the world and make it fit for Christ’s quick return!
Matthew 25:23 “His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.”
Luke 16:10-12 “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches? And if ye have not been faithful in that which is another man’s, who shall give you that which is your own?”
Revelation 2:10 “Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.“
Matthew 25:
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
The Talent that God hath given to us is the abundance of the Christian life. If we do not seek to multiply that talent by bringing others to Christ, teaching them to observe all things that Christ has commanded us, and thereby removing evil and injustice from the world, then we have hidden our talent! If you shirk your Christian Duty to diligently seek to remove evil and injustice from the world because Jesus is coming back soon, you will not rule and reign with Him!
The Bible teaches that pastors are to keep the church pure, not allow the wolves to infiltrate and spread their heresies to the children and baby Christians behind their backs!
Jude 1:3-19 “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities. Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee. But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage. But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ; How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.”
2 John 1:9-11 “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
Matthew 7:15 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.”
Matthew 10:16 “Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.”
Acts 20:29 “For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.”
The Bible shows that a wolf is someone who brings in heresies that will cause people to go to Hell like: repentance is not required for salvation, there are many paths to God, Jesus is not God, and any other heresy that distorts salvation.
I have taught against all of these heresies in different posts on this blog. The links link to the posts that refute theses heresies.
These heresies are called “damnable heresies”, because they can cause people to think they are saved when they are not, and then they end up in Hell.
Matthew 7:15-24 “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.”
The word “house” in 2 John 1:9-11 can also mean church because it can be figurative (Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible with Hebrew and Greek Dictionaries #3614 and #3624 In the Greek. #3624 actually says temple).
This means you stop these wolves at the door and don’t let them even attend! They are not there to learn the truth, they are only there to devour the sheep!
Nowhere in the Bible does it say that church services are supposed to be completely public. Church is first of all for the saved. The lost are only to be allowed in if they are truly seeking to learn, if you discover that they are there to infiltrate you stop them at the door!
That is how heresies have been infiltrated into the church, because pastors refuse to keep the church pure and kick the wolves out.
They may not allow them to officially teach, but since these wolves are even allowed to attend, they can easily draw children and weak Christians into their false doctrines just through conversation.
After the first and second admonition you are supposed to kick them out! Don’t even let them attend!
Titus 3:10-11 “A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject; Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.”
They start out just drawing people away subtly through conversation. Then a new pastor comes in and thinks this guy is good, and then the guy can start teaching and even become a pastor in time.
He then begins to get the younger, weaker Christians to help him kick out the older and stronger Christians.
Then this wolf gets caught in some horrendous crime like fraud, or child molestation and the whole church is severely damaged!
Somehow a wolf, who I really suspect was a Jesuit, was able to marry the Pastor’s daughter, then after the Pastor died, this wolf became the Pastor.
He first started to attack the King James Bible, which that church had always stood strong on, Then he started subtilty changing other fundamentals of that church, then he got a lot of young men in positions around him and started pushing out the older Christians, Then this wolf was caught molesting a teenage girl! The guy is now in prison where he belongs, but the church was severely damaged, and the Name of Christ suffered great reproach.
I read this in a blog post at https://www.jackhyles.com/schaap-first-baptist-church.htm and another one at https://www.jackhyles.com/schaap-traitor.htm by some people who were members of that church and then left when the scandal happened.
This church was almost destroyed, because they were not vigilant enough to keep the wolves out!
Years before the first Pastor died, the church youth group that I was a member of would take a trip every Summer to this church’s Youth Conference. I first heard this wolf preach at the Youth Conference 21 years ago when I was 16 years old. I suspected even at that time that he might be a Jesuit wolf because he had preached a sermon about America being Mystery Babylon Spoken of in Revelation 17 and 18. Even at that young age I had already been studying about the Jesuits for 3 years and I knew that the teaching that America was Mystery Babylon was started by the Jesuits to hinder the preaching of the truth that Mystery Babylon is actually the Roman Catholic Church.
However, I never said anything to anyone, because I was young, and because I knew that the Ecumenical Movement had caused many people to believe that false teaching and others, even if they were not Jesuits. So I was hoping that this guy was just taught wrong and was not an actual wolf.
However, with everything that he did, I now believe that he is a Jesuit wolf.
In churches that use other Bible versions besides the King James a wolf will just start attacking the authority and validity of the Bible in general.
In many Baptist churches it is so bad today that Jesuits and Masons are masquerading as pastors, teachers and deacons and are spreading their damnable heresies, and destroying innocent lives.
And yes, many Jesuits can get married!
The priests are at the top. They are the only ones who are forbidden to marry. However, even they can marry if the Jesuit General commands them too, in order for them to better infiltrate a church.
Even a Nun can marry if the Pope commands her too. One of Mohammad’s wives was actually a Catholic Nun, who the Pope commanded to marry Mohammad. Then her brother helped Mohammad interpret his visions and write the Quran. So the Catholic church actually helped found Islam, because they wanted to use Mohammad and his followers as an army to capture Jerusalem. They did capture Jerusalem, but decided to keep it for themselves instead of handing it over to the Pope. So now the Catholic church fights against Islam. As you can see the Catholic church infiltrates all religions, not just true churches. (You can learn more about this by reading “The Prophet” by Alberto Rivera published by Chick Publications.)
However, there are the second level of Jesuits that are professionals like Psychologists, doctors, lawyers, accountants, etc. These can get married and can infiltrate churches as teachers, deacons, and even Pastors!
Then you have the 3rd level of Jesuits, that are laborers such as electricians, cooks, factory workers etc. These can also get married and can infiltrate churches as teachers, deacons, and even Pastors! (See the book: “The Secret History of the Jesuits” Published by Chick Publications.)
Therefore, it is possible to have generations of Jesuits infiltrated into the true church!
Christians need to start obeying 1 Timothy 2:15 “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.”
2 John 1:9-11 “Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.”
To learn more about how to spot wolves in your church please read the Alberto series of books and the book “The Secret History of the Jesuits published by Chick Publications.
If you learn how to spot a Jesuit, you will be able to spot any wolf. The Jesuits are the most subtle and most dangerous of all wolves. They have been around for almost 500 years and were started by a military General, who was a master at espionage.
Jesuits go through years of training learning how to infiltrate, take over, and destroy true churches.

Many Christians in churches could be getting cancer and other health problems, because Jesuits in their churches are secretly poisoning them.
Alberto Rivera was a Jesuit Priest who truly got saved and completely renounced the Catholic church. He preached against the Catholic church and the Jesuits for many years. The Jesuits kept trying to kill him, but were unable to for a long time. Then a “friend” of his claimed that he too had gotten saved and left the Jesuits. This guy kept begging him to come to his house to eat. Alberto was leery of him, so he kept kindly declining the invitation. The guy kept asking, and Alberto began to feel bad about not trusting him. He went and ate at the guy’s house, and became very sick and had to go to the hospital. The doctors found that he had been poisoned. His “friend” then disappeared. About a year later Alberto was diagnosed with Colon cancer, and ended up dying. Before he died, Alberto said that Jesuits will use poisons with retro viruses in them to cause cancer, and that this is what had happened to him.
Christians must learn how to spot the wolves, and keep them out of their churches! Both souls and lives depend on it!
Churches should never allow anyone to become a member of their church without having the person meet with the Pastor and deacons first to make sure of what they believe, and that they are not living a sinful lifestyle. And they should be denied membership if it is found that they believe any damnable heresies, or are living a sinful lifestyle, and refuse to repent after being shown the truth in Scripture.
A big problem I see in churches is that they will get anyone to teach a Sunday School class. As soon as someone makes a profession of faith the church will put them teaching the kids!
That is completely irresponsible!
This just opens the door wide to wolves!
No one should ever be allowed to teach at all in the church until they have gone through proper discipleship training and the Pastor is sure that they will not be teaching any damnable heresies. Furthermore, teaching should only be done by church members who are in good standing, unless the person is a visitor who the Pastor knows well.
In addition, If someone is in open sin they should never be allowed to serve in the church! Not even to sing in the choir or serve food to the kids! Because the kids will look up to them and think they are a good person and then be led astray or even hurt by them. They should be under church discipline until they repent!
Churches must become wise as serpents and stop opening the doors wide for the wolves to come in and devour the sheep!
