ELIJAH WITNESSES TO THE CHURCH

Fellowship, everybody wants fellowship. My fellowship is with Jesus.
Your fellowship had better be with Jesus. Those fellows you
fellowship with will not be with you when you stand before Jesus.

I Corinthians 2:4-5 talks about not with enticing words of man's
wisdom but in the demonstration of the Spirit and of the power of
God: that your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men. I want to
be able to walk and see things happen. When I speak words, I don't
want it to be of me. I want it to be of Him. Who sent me or gave this
walk in my life? It is the Lord Jesus Christ, Adonai Yeshua ha
Mashiach. I want the words to come from Him. When I speak, I see
things happen. We should not want to be just another church Christian
going in and listening and singing pretty songs for years and see
nothing happening in our life. I want every day to do something that
will show the presence of God being revealed.

I've been lied to by many preachers. I've been lied to by the things
they say and the things that happen by signs and wonders and miracles
following. But when I prayed and asked God in 1983 in Washington,
D.C., He empowered me with gifts and to move in the gifts. People
started coming to me to pray and when I prayed with them they were
instantly healed.

I just couldn't understand that there were so many deceitful people
in the world. I had gone to so many churches that were of faith
preachers. They were almost as deceitful as the people out in the
world, and there is more deception and more evil every day. It is the
devil's new world order taking over this world. All these evildoers,
apostate churches, apostate preachers and false teachers in this
world, are all seeking this world and all its riches here. The real
people have the Name of Jesus, Yeshua ha Mashiach. That's what it's
all about. Redeem the time, for the days are evil. So we have to be
about our Father's business. That's what He gave us in Mark 13:34-37.

Yeshua is a person that loves and gave us all authority to do
something. And when He comes back He is going to ask us what we did
with all these talents He gave us, for each believer is given a
talent to do something with. Some are given one, others five or ten.
Well, I'll tell you this is what it is, what we have to be about: It
is to ask God what He has called us to be and to do. Romans 8:28-29
says everyone who is called by His Name has something to do in God's
will. There are different gifts to different people. Some have been
called to be preachers, some teachers, some to go visit the crippled,
to visit prisons, the blind, and to help people in need. We have got
to be about using these gifts that God gave us.

We don't need to worry so much about our outside appearance, but to
just be concerned about our spiritual appearance to God. The Spirit
within us has to be alive, lit up, to be with Him. Either be hot or
cold. In Revelation 3:15-18 it says, 'I'd rather you be cold or hot.
But because you are lukewarm, I'm going to spew you out.' These
lukewarm Christians which are in most churches are just tares. You
know the wheat are the ones that are DOING. They are the ones LIT UP,
really wanting to do and please God. They are the wheat. They bear
fruit and it is the fruit of righteousness. They so this by going out
and being a blessing to people. They keep the things the Bible says.
They are trying to lead the people in the right way with Jesus,
living the Word of God, not just preaching it, but living it.

But the tares just fill up the church. They come to church and fill
up the pews singing pretty songs and listening to the words, then go
home and the rest of the week they live and act like the rest of the
world. Well, the churches are full of these tares. There are very few
wheats. The harvest is so great and the labourers are so few. There
are very few going out and bringing the people in the ways and
teachings of Jesus. Most just want to bring in other religious
hypocrites like themselves. Very few are really bringing them to
Yeshua ha Mashiach.

People outside the churches are saveable. Sometimes you wonder if the
people in the churches are saveable. We have to be accounted worthy.
It's just not join the church and you're saved. You have to be joined
to Jesus. He's the Saviour! He's the Shepherd! He's the one we want
people to know. We must KNOW Him, and we must know Him personally.
He's a personal Lord and Savior. There is no group plan! Every
individual is accountable before the Lord. Your pastor has to be
accounted worthy to be saved just like you do as one of his church
members.I tell you, a lot of people in this world confess to be
Christians but inside of them is not the Holy Spirit of God. They do
not have a pure heart before the Lord. There is so much filth inside
them. If it was not for God's very elect there would be nobody saved.

One day I said, "Lord, tell me about all the people who profess to be
Christians, saved and born again. In reality, Lord there is much
deception. So many people are doing and saying things that are not
according to Your Word." I then asked, "Lord, tell me how many
Christian believers in America are you going to gather when You come
and call?" And He said, "Less than 2% of them." I thought to
myself, "Oh, no. That must be wrong. There are millions of Christians
in thousands of churches." I asked the Lord again, "Lord, tell me,
why are there so few Christians You are going to gather up?" He
said, "These are the ones who have lived by My Word and are God
pleasers like Enoch." You've got to be about pleasing God, not
people, not mother, father, brother, sister, but God pleasers, living
and DOING the Word of God. And this living the Word is not just
reading or talking about it. Some people can read the bible in 10
languages but they are not living the Word. That's hypocrisy.

Then I asked the Lord if He would let me know who His were. He
said, "For this you have to receive sadness and gladness." In
Ecclesiastes 1:18 He said "For in much wisdom is much grief: and he
that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow." I said, "Lord, whatever
it is, I need to know." And He opened my eyes and my ears
spiritually. I started going from church to church and I started
looking at people, and He would speak to me and let me know. They
would say things or I would see things and know things later. Then I
found out how many fakers there were in the pulpit, in the churches,
and the elders, and the other people and members of the churches. God
knows and He let me know. And one day I stood in front of a pastor
telling this person he didn't have any money to help him, and the
Lord said, "He's a liar." Speaking about this pastor, I then found
out he has millions in the bank. In the same way, I went to
Washington, D.C., attended a large meeting and I looked in the eyes
of a big preacher, Robert Tilton, one of these signs and wonders men,
When his eyes met mine, he ran away. I said to others at that
meeting, "People, I saw demons in that man, demons of covetousness,
greed, self and a lying spirit." In about a week or two later, a
sister from another State wrote me and said, "Brother, you were
telling the truth. They found him with two, not one, but two houses
worth 5 million dollar apiece. He has banks full of money and money
in hidden bank accounts and people are banging on the door to try to
get their money back he gathered from them." There are a lot of
Christian con-men just like that. They are in the money gathering
business. A lot of them just gather money for their self glory.

In 1986 I once looked at TV in America and saw 25 to 30 of the
biggest pastors in America and they were on this one broadcast,
perhaps Trinity Broadcasting network. I looked at all these preachers
who had been on these different TV programs and who were ministering
all across America. They were all getting together as they said they
were going to stand together because people were trying to come
against some of them and saying things they said were not true. Maybe
there were some things that weren't, but I think many of these things
were true. Anyway, I looked over there at this TV program where these
25 or so pastors were all sitting around this great big table. I
looked at this one man and I wanted to believe he was a real man of
God, but wondered how he could set next to this one which I knew he
was a con man. Then I saw another man that I thought might be a real
man of God, but l found out later he also was a fake. I could see
these people were just outright liars over money and self glory and
now they were organizing a gathering of all the ministers all across
America. They were trying to come together and become as a unified
church.

I asked the Lord, "Tell me, what be these people? They all come in
Your Name, and they come in the Name of Jesus Christ." He said, "This
is the apostate antichrist church. These people are seeking self
glory and they have the love of money." Well, I tell you, that sure
is true. The more I looked at these people, the more I heard about
them and the millions they had gathered and all for their glory. But
in God's eyes, it was nothing. They would have big billboard signs
with their name all over it and there was no place for Jesus' Name.
And they sold tapes and were gathering fortunes of money and giving
little or nothing for the poor. And I know they just keep it for
themselves.

I hardly go to churches anymore, and for sure not the big ones. They
are all caught up with self glory and the love of money. The apostate
antichrist church is what Paul warned us about. I read in II
Corinthians 11:12-13 which says God will have nothing to do with them
that seek their own glory. When you read II Timothy 4:3, they love to
have their ears tickled. Preachers say it is O.K. to have the lust
and love of the world as long as you fill their baskets and sing
pretty songs and speak good to them. They say,"You are a saved
person. You're okay. You'll go to Heaven as one of these faithful
Christians." Well, you know, you've got to give up the lust and love
of the world to have the love of God. I John 2:15-16 talks about
this. Matthew 6:19-24 says that wherever your treasure is, so be your
heart. We're not supposed to lay up our treasures here upon the
earth, but to place them in Heaven by taking care of the needs of the
poor sisters and brothers around us, or the poor people on the
street, and be doing things for the crippled and blind people.

Anyway, I started to see and hear all this, that things were not
right before God across America. Of course I went across the world to
other countries. They were the same way, but people just use the Name
of the Lord. When you read Matthew 24:5, it talks about many coming
in His Name. Matthew 7:15 says these are wolves in sheep's clothing.
He is talking about these preachers, these big ones I saw on TV as
wolves in sheep's clothing. They beat the poor out of the front door
of the church and just fill the church full of those that will fill
their baskets full. They make merchandise out of God's Word, II Peter
2:1-3. With feigned words they make merchandise and gather money
from the people. Everything is money, money, money, and millions they
gather, fleecing the flocks. The big name preachers do signs and
wonders and even miracles, selling their books and tapes, but little
or nothing they do is for His glory. They have no real love, no
compassion.

Churches only think of themselves on these treasure/pleasure trips.
You have all these people running all over the world gathering
treasures. They are seen all over there in Israel on their
pleasure/treasure trips, with little or nothing for their poor
brothers or sisters around them. I know it because I see it all of
the time. It's perilous days and that's why He said that if it were
not for His very elect chosen faithful very few that are His real
believers, there would no flesh be saved. So many have fallen away
back into the world. They are being led back into the world by
prosperity doctrines, hearing those preachers who suppose that gain
is godliness. The command of the Lord is I Timothy 6:5 "........
from such withdraw thyself." They go gathering their treasures here
and holding onto them. They were supposed to give up the lust and
love of the world, to give up the riches of the world, and be
accounted worthy to enter the kingdom.

So many are being deceived. In II Thessalonians 2:2-3, it speaks of a
great falling away from the faith which is a sign that Satan is soon
to appear. These are people who used to be believers but they are
being led astray by these prosperity-here-and-now preachers. False
preachers and false teachers are leading them back to the ways of the
world through lust, covetousness, greed, and seeking after worldly
riches. When you read II Thessalonians 2:9-11, we see these signs and
wonders preachers leading people in the same way. They give off an
evil spirit. They lay on hands and speak in tongues. What are they
really? What are they doing, these people coming out of these great
big revivals? I don't see love. There is no charity. They talk about
how they were laying on the ground. They sing pretty songs. They have
felt this great anointing, but when you get around them, there is no
love or compassion. They are full of self, just like some of these
women preachers. Women are to keep silent in the churches. The Word
of God says it is wrong to do what they do. They proudly do it anyway
with their wearing the latest fashions and with gaudy made-up faces.
It is an abomination.

There is much deception and evil. It is the devil's new world order
taking over this world and all these evildoers in apostate churches
with their preachers and teachers, all seeking this world and its
riches here. I started seeing this across America in 1983-84. Then
God sent me to Israel in 1984. I went across the ocean, came over to
Israel and started to see the same thing with these big churches over
there. They are supposed to be Christian churches coming in the Name
of Jesus. It's just the same thing as in America. They are all full
of self-glory and love of money. They gather much, especially from
the tourists. They come in from all over the world to this Holy Land
in Israel and other places such as Ammon, Jordan. The churches in all
these places do things in the same way, gathering up money, selling
books, tapes, singing pretty songs, and so on, but they push the poor
people out the door who have needs. So it's the same all over the
world.

We have churches full of people. Nobody has ever told them what to
do. They don't even know what to do. They don't even know they are
supposed to ask God what to do. They just sit in church and sing and
go home and act like the world all week. Then they go back to sing
and fill the baskets full at church, buy a bunch of their books and
tapes, and they don't even know what they are supposed to do. Nobody
has led them to pray and ask God. Ask and you shall receive, seek and
you shall find, knock and it shall be opened to you. We have to be
about His business, to get ready to be accounted worthy to enter the
Kingdom of God as doers. They that do the Will of the Father, My
sheep, says Jesus, do not seek their own.

You know, I was in Greece, and a man was boasting about the fact he
was a saved pastor and he had a saved church, and that it was the
biggest Pentecostal church all over Greece. But don't go there for a
cup of coffee or a glass of water. They are the most greedy bunch of
people from the pulpit on down, all full of self and covetousness.
They do little or nothing for the poor. That's the way it is. We have
to live the words we speak or else we are hypocrites. There will be
no hypocrites in Heaven. There will be doers, doers of His Word.

God's real very elect are very few all over the world. I'll tell you
it shook me when He spoke the words: "Come out from them who so
easily seduce you with their false doctrines. They sound good and
look good, Matthew 15:7-9, while you hypocrites honor Me with your
lips. You sing songs about Me with your mouths, but your heart is far
from Me. Your teaching is the commandments of men, not of Me, not My
holy Commandments. You are teaching your own commandments. You say
it's okay to have a little sin as long as you fill the baskets full.
You say that you can live in sin, and that it will still be okay with
Me. That is the lie of the devil."

Today it is becoming more and more urgent to come out from amongst
them who so easily seduce you in thoese big churches. All they do is
sell books and gather money, live for their own self glory while they
teach watered-down words without repentance and without the blood.
Why don't people understand we are supposed to have our sins cleansed
by the blood ONCE, not every week? They go back to the same sin.
People continually sin the same sin every week and go back to the
altar crying, weeping, repenting. Then they go back and do the same
thing next week, and of course, they continue to fill the baskets
full. The pastors say it's OK, but they are full of demonic spirits.
Nobody is casting out devils any more. They're talking to the devils
as long as the devils fill their baskets full. They don't say a thing
to the demons inside the people. The demons make them feel good. The
people are just as full of demons and evil spirits, evilness, and
greed. Hearts are waxing cold. So come out from among them and
examine ourselves to see if we are pleasing God and walking
righteously before Him and living our faith in love and compassion in
our daily life.
