Exposing the End-Times Apostasy: Introduction. #1
Introduction.
This book is especially for those of you who love God, who fear Him, who believe His word, and who do not want to be counted among the ungodly, who do not want to be left out.
Many people have asked me, 'Pastor, how do I know if my church is true? How do I know whether or not my church is in apostasy?'
With this book, my intention is to answer those of you who want to be sure that you will not be among the five foolish virgins, and who also do not want to hear the Lord say to you, 'Useless servant' — who thought they were serving God, thought they were with Him, and then, until the very last moment, realized they were not.
This teaching is for those of you who do not want to hear the Lord say to you, 'Depart from me, you who practiced iniquity; I never knew you.' The intent is to expose doctrines of demons, false doctrines, deception, lies, and all the strategies the devil has designed to bind souls, to cause even the elect to stumble, if possible.
So I invite you, in the love of God, not to reject this teaching simply because some things will come up that contradict your own teachings or the teachings of the churches you have attended. Perhaps some of you are pastors, ministers, and some of the teachings you will find in this book will make you feel confronted, because some of what will be exposed, in accordance with the word of God, will expose some kind of apostate deception that has been in you, or that you have received and that is part of your congregations.
I invite you not to harden your hearts like the Pharisees. The Lord, on many occasions while He was present with us, insisted on giving understanding to the religious leaders of that time — the scribes, the Pharisees, the Sadducees — giving them understanding and exposing why they were wrong, what their error was, in what way their doctrine was not necessarily in line with the perfect will of God. And they resisted; they refused to listen.
We must be wise and sensible, not dull of hearing and hard-hearted. They were hard-hearted and refused to listen to the warning, going so far as to kill the giver of life. But if we search the Word, we see that from ancient times the devil has even used the church itself to persecute and oppose the true work of God.
So why do I mention this above all? Because if we understand that it is possible to be deceived, if we understand that the word of God is true, and the Word says that in this final time many will kill His disciples and will even believe they are doing God a favor — if we understand that it is possible for the devil to deceive someone to the point of believing they are right, to the point of persecuting the Lord's disciples and even killing them, then we must have the fear of God. And if we understand that, we can believe we are right before God, we can be sincere in our hearts in thinking we want to serve the true God, but we can be sincerely deceived, in error with a sincere heart, and still be wrong.
If we understand this, we must be humble. I invite you, in the love of God, to finish reading this book. And if something seems conflicting to you, or if you feel there is disagreement, do not reject it just because you do not understand it — pray.
In those days, those who were in error while the Lord was present did not understand what the Lord was sharing with them, and so they were filled with anger — they were filled with rage. From the very first day the Lord opened the book in the temple and said, 'This word is fulfilled today,' they wanted to throw Him off a cliff and wanted to kill Him because they were angry. 'Who is this?' So let us be humble and gentle of heart; let us learn from the Lord.
Blessed are those who seek, and blessed are those who, when confronted with the truth, when someone exposes a potential error in their doctrine that may be heresy, that may be a doctrine leading to death…
Blessed are those of you who are humble of heart and take the time to read, and then to pray and seek the presence of God, so that the Lord may confirm to you whether you are truly mistaken or not.
But it is a shame for those who read the correction and, simply because they do not want to, are not willing to leave a doctrine, a religion, a sect that leads to death.
They prefer to reject the truth, just as the religious leaders did when the Lord was among us, and go off into perdition, into eternal torment, because the Word is certainly true and we have been warned beforehand, from ancient times, that not everyone who says 'Lord, Lord' will enter the kingdom of heaven. There are many who thought they were prophesying, preaching, healing, delivering, doing works, and on that day the Lord will say to them, 'Depart from me, I never knew you.'
I don't know about you, but I certainly fear God, because I see His grace and His mercy, which are very great. Honestly, my mind personally cannot fully comprehend the mercy of God; His compassion and mercy are so great.
But just as I am completely clear that His mercy is wonderful, and I am grateful to Him for His mercy, I also see another side of God: His severity toward those who sin, toward those who do not want to turn away from sin.
For in His word we see how He set His chosen people, Israel, free from Egypt with His mighty right hand, with signs and wonders; He opened the Red Sea, He gave authority to His servant Moses to perform signs and wonders, plagues, and other things, so that His people would be free.
The Lord did great and wonderful things; He stretched out His hand on behalf of His people to free them from slavery. But later we see that after they crossed the sea on foot and the sea closed and drowned Pharaoh's soldiers, we also see that in the desert, when they sinned, the Lord sent serpents, and thousands upon thousands died in a single day.
Later they sinned again, and those who did not repent quickly — the first time they sinned again, His fury was kindled and He was about to consume the entire people of Israel, except for Moses; He even told him, 'I will start another nation with you — step aside, and I will destroy this whole nation.'
The Lord is merciful, but He is holy; in Him there is no darkness. Even with His chosen people, had His servant Moses not interceded for them, His fury would have consumed His people. That is the side of God that the apostate church does not preach; they preach the part that we all want to hear, which is true — God is love. Certainly God is love, and He showed us His true love when He gave His life for us, when He emptied Himself of His glory and came in the form of a man and suffered even to death, death on a cross.
But we also see that God speaks clearly. On one occasion many died in a city, and they asked Him a question. He told them, 'Do not think that those who died were greater sinners than all the rest; truly I tell you, everyone who continues sinning will likewise perish.' And we clearly see that even when He was with us in the flesh, He spoke with righteousness. He came to save the world, He did not come to condemn the world, but He said, 'I have not come to condemn you, but we all have a judge — the word that has been spoken; by it we will be judged.'
Elsewhere the Word says that the dogs will remain outside, that everyone who loves and practices lying, idolaters, the sexually immoral, men who lie with men, and those who practice various sins will not inherit the kingdom of heaven.
So we are clearly warned that the Lord loves, but that He also will not leave the guilty unpunished — that if we follow error, if we follow the lie, if we love the lie, as the word says in Revelation, that those who love the lie will have their part in the lake of fire, for the Lord is true and His word is true.
It is no surprise to me, nor to anyone, nor to any of you who reads His word, that if one does not turn away from sin, there is a place of torment. The purpose of the apostasy that the devil is behind is for the souls that are still seeking God to be lost.
I want to share with you the meaning of apostasy. Apostasy is turning away from the path, or being outside of the true doctrine, the true teaching that Jesus Christ commanded.
Many tend to teach that apostasy only happens when a person comes to church and then leaves the church — that this person has apostatized. Certainly that can be one form of apostasy, assuming the church where they were congregating is true and they turn away from it — then that person is indeed in apostasy.
But the apostasy of this final time is much deeper, because it turns out that, through the devil's deception, there are countless Christian churches whose foundation is not on the rock — churches where even the founder, the original leader of the church, did not hold to the true doctrine of the Lord's disciples. Therefore, the doctrines they hold, although they speak of the Bible and although many things are correct, contain a large percentage of error and are destructive heresies — that is, they teach deceptions, both in what they preach and in the traditions of what they practice. There is enough wrong in them that everyone who is part of that church is in apostasy. So there are people who apostatize from the faith when they leave the church, but there are also churches that are in complete apostasy.
For example, the Mormons — for many, for almost everyone, it is no secret that Mormon doctrine is blasphemy, is antichrist; they even baptize themselves 'into death,' which is the last enemy that will be defeated. But that is an example of a church that most people who claim to be Christian can recognize is wrong. Jehovah's Witnesses — most people know that is also another destructive heresy, a church in absolute apostasy. But there is much more.
In this book we will be exposing the apostasy in Christian churches that seem normal and are accepted worldwide, as well as the destructive heresies that each denomination contains. The word 'denomination' means division, and it describes how those who follow a denomination separate themselves off, because Jesus Christ is not a religion — He is God.
Jesus Christ did not come to make religions; neither I, nor you, nor anyone else has any religion to make, because Jesus Christ is not a religion — He is God. If we want to be part of the true church, we simply need to be part of the church that Jesus Christ formed.
He formed the true church when He came to us. So the word 'apostasy' means to turn away from the true faith, or to be part of a church that holds a false faith.
Catholics in other continents and countries of the world, like Africa, Europe, and other continents and countries, are considered Christian; for them and for the world in general, who cannot tell the difference, there is no distinction between a Catholic, a Pentecostal, an Adventist, or a Baptist — for them they are all the same, along with the other more than 20,000 denominations, which are all the same.
But for those who claim to be Christian on this side of the continent, they know that the Catholic Church is completely different, that it is full of idols, and that it is in apostasy.
So there are billions, not millions — billions of people in the world who are part of that church, and everyone who is part of that church is in apostasy. If the truth does not reach them and they do not repent and turn away from it, their souls are lost — everyone understands that. But in this book, you will come to see how it is not only Catholics, Jehovah's Witnesses, and Mormons who are in apostasy.
The devil is a liar and the father of lies, and the Word says that the devil deceives the whole world. In this book, that word will be revealed to many of you, and you will come to understand that the devil truly deceives the whole world. If he deceives the whole world, that means we too were under deception, and we have to turn away, get out, understand, and run from that deception.
In this book you will discover how even in each of the most common denominations — Pentecostal, Baptist, Adventist, and all the rest — there are also destructive heresies. Just as, to them, Jehovah's Witnesses are false, likewise, when we understand a little more and look at it from the outside, we also see that they too are in apostasy, and they don't even know it.
I invite you, who perhaps right now are part of an Apostolic church, the Assembly of God, Baptist, or any of the other denominations, do not make the mistake that the Catholics, the Jehovah's Witnesses, and the Mormons make. If someone comes to show you which doctrines are destructive, lies, and apostasy, in the love of Christ, because they don't want your soul to be lost, they resist and say, 'No, because my church is true' — and you explain to them, 'But look, the Word says we must be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ,' and they say, 'No, the prophet of my church said we must be baptized into death,' and they get baptized into death, when the Word says it must be in the Lord Jesus — well, their soul will be lost because they are following another doctrine, another gospel, and the Word says, 'Let him be accursed, whoever preaches a different gospel.'
I invite you not to harden your heart as everyone does — give yourself the opportunity, pray, and meditate. By rejecting correction, many are rejecting life and choosing death. In a book like this, life and death are set before you, and I desire, in the love of God, that you choose life. The Lord takes no pleasure in anyone perishing, and I am convinced that the lake of fire is real and that the torment there is dreadful.
I do not want any of you to go to that place. Do not reject these teachings simply because you don't understand them, or because they differ from what your church preaches — pray. If you love the truth, work out your salvation with fear and trembling.
The great apostasy is spreading through the church all over the world at this very moment, but you and I, and all who read this book, have the opportunity to escape the perdition that the devil wants for us, because the devil and those who followed him know they have no hope. But the devil, filled with hatred, hates the mercy God has shown to me and to you; he wants us to go with him, and that is why he works fervently to deceive and to harden hearts.
But in the love of God I invite you: read with your heart, pray with your mouth, and ask God for confirmation whether what you read in this book comes from Him, whether it is true or not, and then follow — follow what the Lord shows you. Search the Scriptures; do not follow a doctrine, or a name, or a religion, above the truth, above God. It is the truth that sets us free; it is the truth that leads us along the narrow path that few find. Wide is the road that leads to destruction, and narrow is the road that leads to salvation.
The great apostasy we are living through today does not mean that people are not going to church. In reality, the great apostasy in this final time is primarily that people do go to church, they are religious, they want to be in the truth but they are deceived. That is the saddest and most severe part of the apostasy we are living in — it does not consist only of those who leave the church; it is that the pastors themselves, the ministers, their children, their wives, and everyone else are in apostasy, because the devil has them deceived as if hypnotized, holding a doctrine that is not the doctrine Jesus Christ taught. Through the devil's deception, they reject what Jesus Christ did and what He commanded His disciples, but they do in their churches things that Jesus Christ did not do, did not command, and — even worse — forbade. That is apostasy; it is walking in rebellion, walking in a different gospel, in a doctrine different from the doctrine of the disciples, of the apostles that the Lord Himself showed.
Some of the key points we will be discussing in this book — if you can understand even just one of them, you will understand why automatically 90% of churches are in apostasy. One of them is the traditional celebrations the whole world celebrates, like Christmas, New Year's, Mother's Day, the Day of the Dead, infant baptisms, and various other things the world celebrates, holiday bonuses — if you ask the Lord for discernment, for example, with just that one part you will understand how dangerous this is, how those traditions put the soul in danger of eternal death. Understanding just that one part will be enough for you to see how many churches are in apostasy.
Another point we will also address in this book is occult symbols, for as we have already seen, for the vast majority it is no secret that the Catholic Church, and those who believe in Buddha, are full of idols. For no one who knows the gospel of Christ is it a secret that those who worship the virgin, Saint Michael, Saint Mark, Saint Peter, Saint John, Saint Elias, and however many other angels and saints they have, are idolaters.
There are more than 300 'virgins' in the world — I don't know what makes them 'virgins.' There are names I don't think we've even heard of. If you search Google for how many virgins there are, you will be surprised — there are virgins even in red, purple, black, and white; light brown; there are virgins of every color and flavor.
It is no secret to those who are not Catholic that this is a diabolical deception, because how many mothers could God, the Lord, have had when He came in the form of a man? Just one — so why, then, are there 300 virgins?
This is one of the apostate deceptions that is, to me, one of the craziest, because I understand other deep deceptions in the church that are hard to discern, but I am amazed — I believe even my 8-year-old, if he thought about it for a moment, would understand that a person has only one mother.
But now, in one country alone, there are around 40 different virgins. How is it possible that supposedly 40 women gave birth to the Lord? That is madness.
The truth is, the devil mocks people. I am amazed and ask myself, 'How could I have been so ignorant?' I was born in the Dominican Republic, and there is Our Lady of High Grace, the Virgin Mary, Our Lady of Fatima, and many other different virgins — how is it possible that I heard the name of all these virgins?
You look at the pictures, and even in the pictures you can see they are different people — how is it possible that they are all supposedly the mother of Jesus? One is dark-skinned, another is white, another has different hair — you can see they are different people. It is madness that one cannot see this is a diabolical deception, that it is blasphemy, that these so-called virgins do not represent the mother of God. But the point is, for most who claim to be Christian, it is easy to see that particular idolatry.
I invite you to read, in the love of the Lord, and you will see how the devil, just as he deceives the Catholic church, also deceives the Christian church — those who believe themselves to be disciples of the Lord, those who already believe themselves saved — and they are just as deceived as the great majority, like the Catholics, only the deception is different. And the purpose of this book is to expose those idols; the churches are full of idols. For example, here in the United States, the vast majority — I would easily say 80% or 90%, this is just my own estimate, I have not done a survey or researched it on Google, but from what I have seen as I pass through the streets and through churches I had the opportunity to visit in the past — about 90% have idols that, if we simply search them on Google, we would realize within three minutes are forms of the worship of Satan. But they believe they are going to heaven, when the Word says that idolaters will not enter the kingdom of God.
But in this book we will expose those idols — not so much the Catholic idols and the idols of other churches that are very clearly idols; we want to expose what the devil is doing in those who truly want to serve and please God, who do not want to walk in rebellion. I know that for many of you, when you understand that, just as the Catholics are deceived and think everything is fine, when you realize that the devil is also deceiving you, that you have been idolaters just like the Catholics, only with a different deception, you will be grateful to God, because the truth will set us free. The Lord is coming for a church that is clean, without spot or wrinkle, and the truth carries us through that process of renewal, transformation, and whitening of our spiritual garments, so that the stains the devil, through deception, had placed on our lives may disappear.
In this book we will also expose doctrines of demons — yes, there is such a thing as doctrine of demons, antichrist doctrine, doctrines that are total and complete rebellion against the word of God, false doctrines, doctrines that are blasphemy, like the one I shared with you about the Mormons who are baptized into death, not baptized into the Lord. There are others who are baptized in the name of the Trinity, like the Catholics — of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit — which is also a false doctrine. But the Mormons go even further; it is blasphemy — they are baptized into death. The Word says that death is the last enemy that will be defeated; in other words, they are baptized in the name of the enemy.
Satan does things like this — it is blasphemy, and he mocks the church, and us. It is like when he arranges for people to worship 50 different virgins, and also different 'Jesuses' — the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the child Jesus, Jesus of Nazareth — and he has them worship 50 different Jesuses.
Satan mocks — it is his way of saying, 'Look how foolish they are, look how I get them to worship 50 different Jesuses' — one and the same person, and yet they have him in every different picture: as a child, as an adult, as a middle-aged man, as an old Jesus, as a sick Jesus, and as a crucified Jesus, and he has them worship 50 different Jesuses. So there are doctrines that are blasphemy, that are Satan, more than anything a way of blaspheming God, but also a way of mocking us, the people he manages to trap with these lies.
The severe apostasy we are living through is not only about doctrine; doctrine is a form of poison, of spiritual contamination, but what happens behind it in the spirit is like what happens with drugs — it truly causes serious spiritual damage, because through these things the devil places spiritual chains. It is a spiritual bondage that afterward makes it difficult to hear the Word and understand it.
The Word tells us in 2 Peter 3:17–18:
"Therefore, beloved, since you already know this, be on your guard, so that you are not carried away by the error of the lawless and fall from your secure position. But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."
Knowing this beforehand, be on guard — that is, be watchful — so that, carried away by the doctrines of people who live a licentious life, who want to live a life conformed to the world, not knowing that friendship with the world is enmity against God, you do not fall from your secure standing. If you are not on guard, if you are not watching what you listen to, what enters through your ears, and what you do day to day, you can fall from that firm standing and end up in apostasy.
In 2 Thessalonians 2:3 the Word says:
"Let no one deceive you in any way, for that day will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of sin, the son of perdition, is revealed…"
Here is something important, and it is actually a very positive point: if we are indeed in the apostasy, it means there is another revelation, another prophecy fulfilled, indicating that we are in the final time and that the Lord's coming is very near, because the Word here in 2 Thessalonians says the Lord will not come until the apostasy is first manifested and the man of sin is revealed.
We are already in the apostasy; teachings like this one confirm it. The only thing still needed now is for the man of sin to be revealed, so that the Lord may come in His glory to gather those of us who allow our garments to be made white by Him. We are already in it, and it did not start yesterday or today — we have been in the apostasy for a long time already. I would say we are only now realizing the great error we have been living in, only now becoming aware of the great deception the devil had this world under, by the grace of God, because His light is now shining and His light is exposing the darkness.
In 1 Timothy 4:1 it says:
"Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons…"
Here the Word is clearly telling us that many will depart from the faith, because they will listen to doctrines of demons, they will encounter deceiving spirits. These deceiving spirits do not speak to them directly — they don't say, 'Peter, Mary, hey John, don't believe in Jesus.' No, these demons operate through people; that is why the Word says our struggle is not against flesh and blood. These deceiving spirits speak through the person, just as happened with Peter, when suddenly the devil took hold of his tongue and spoke to the Lord. But for those who are not with God, how much more does the devil come and work through them, and their deceiving spirits, which have hold of many people out there — pastors, especially, who preach very beautifully and say things that please the ear, but whose doctrines are of demons, deceiving spirits speaking through them.
This word is true, and many will depart from the faith because there are doctrines of demons, deceiving spirits speaking through people. How will they get out of that bondage? How will those who are being bound by these deceiving spirits, and who preach doctrines of demons without knowing it, be freed from those demons and be able to be saved — unless they repent and understand that our struggle is not against flesh and blood, that the kingdom of God does not consist in words but in power?
Part of the apostasy is not accepting and not doing what Jesus Christ did. The Lord did not come only to talk — the Lord went about healing, delivering, and preaching, and He told His disciples, 'I give you power and authority; go heal the sick, cast out demons, and preach the kingdom of heaven.' Part of the great apostasy is denying the command the Lord gave His disciples and denying what Jesus Christ Himself did.
And now they tell you, 'No, you don't have to heal anyone, you don't have to pray, that was back then' — as if the demons went off somewhere — when the Word is clearly saying that many will depart from the faith because they listen to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons.
In 2 Peter 2:21 it says:
"For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them."
That is a form of apostasy — they hear the truth, but then they turn back from the commandment and say, 'It's just that I love the world.'
I remember on one occasion a couple came up to me at church, and the man said to me, 'Pastor, my wife and I are not going to come back to church. We're young and we want to enjoy ourselves a little; we want to go out partying and things like that. We usually hear that you're completely against living a worldly life, so we're not going to come back to church.' I told them, 'Do as your heart leads, but think it over carefully.'
They voluntarily chose to go back into the world — the truth is, that is not pleasant. After a while I found out the woman had been unfaithful to him; they went out partying and carousing many times, and the woman ended up pregnant, I believe by another man, and she left him for the other man. They wanted the party life, and they got it.
Galatians 1:8 says:
"But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed."
In short, if anyone holds a different gospel, let him be cursed. Having a doctrine different from what the Lord showed us is not a game — it is serious. Here the Lord Himself, through His word, says that whoever has a different gospel is to be accursed. Here the Lord is pronouncing a curse on those who believe another gospel, on those who turn away from the word He showed us and decide to be wise in their own understanding.
I know the devil makes people believe it doesn't matter — that you can say, 'Lord, I love you,' and because you love God, you give offerings, and because you go to church on Sundays or some other day, you're already saved. No, that is not the true path. Be holy, because He is holy; without holiness no one will see the kingdom of heaven. We must pursue the holiness without which no one will see the Lord; we must truly humble our hearts.
We must understand that the joy of the world turns into weeping, and we must mourn over having loved the world, and seek the Lord with all our heart so that our sins may be washed away.
2 Timothy 4:3 says:
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers…"
This is the time we are living in, when someone preaches the truth to you in love, when someone preaches teachings like this one, where they are taught that they cannot celebrate Christmas, that having such-and-such an idol or such-and-such an image is wrong — but some people say, 'I really like that image, it's very pretty,' or that they paid 300 dollars for that little chain, so for them there are other things that are more valuable — they have itching ears.
If someone tells you, 'No, brother or sister, everything is fine, keep on committing sexual immorality, it's no big deal; being gay or lesbian doesn't matter, you're still going to the kingdom of heaven, just keep loving God, that's all' — if someone tells you words like that, which supposedly give permission for sin to be fine in your life, that you don't have to repent — that pleases you, that's itching ears. But we must repent of it; we must be sensible of heart, we must humble our hearts, we must make the effort and decide, 'Lord, I don't want the lie anymore, I am willing to listen, Lord. If I have itching ears, let that itch leave my ears. I want to hear the truth, I want to receive the truth, I want to live and not die.'
Mark 13:22–23 says:
"For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform signs and wonders, to deceive, if possible, even the elect. But be on your guard; I have told you all things beforehand."
This word is also for now, for the final time. So we have been warned beforehand, as the Word says — the Lord exposed these things: that this apostasy would come in this time, that hearts would harden, that many would turn away from the faith, that they would listen to doctrines of demons, and we have received many warnings like this one.
But by the grace of God, people like me, whom the Lord is using so that we may expose that apostasy, offer teachings like this one for those of you who are called to enter through the narrow gate, because the truth sets us free.
I invite you once more, in the love of the Lord, to give yourself the opportunity to finish reading this book, and pray, saying, 'Lord, I want to understand.' And if you have a disagreement, send me your opinion, but I invite you to do so with prudence and with the fear of God, and also include the verses with which you support your point. Do not send opinions like, 'Pastor, it's fine to have the virgin, because I like her, because the virgin did me a favor' — the devil performs signs and wonders too. Send your comments and opinions, it doesn't matter if you disagree, but share the verses that confirm or support your point of view.
To close this chapter, I would like to conclude with the following prayer:
Prayer
Heavenly Father, we thank you for this opportunity you give us to share your word; we give you glory and honor, Lord, for what you have allowed us to understand and grasp on this day.
May your kingdom come to us, Lord; may your will be done in our lives. Give us more and more wisdom, more understanding; let your presence, Lord, be poured out more and more upon your elect, so that we may testify to the truth not only with words but with the power of your Holy Spirit, so that these chains of bondage may be broken, so that the powers of darkness that deceive, that give itching ears, that make people dull of hearing, and that harden the heart so that they cannot understand or believe even the simplest things, may be consumed by your presence. Just as the first disciples asked of you, we ask you, Lord: stretch out your hand; give us, Lord, a double portion, so that no power of darkness that opposes salvation, that opposes a revival, may be able to resist when we rebuke it in your name.
We thank you, Lord, for your mercy; we thank you, Lord, because these times are very ugly, and without your mercy it would be impossible to escape the devil's deception, his diabolical strategies that he has designed to try to make our souls be lost. Only by your mercy, only by your grace is it possible for us to escape so much deception and so much evil that exists in this present time. So we give you all the glory, and humbly, Lord, we exalt your name; we are very grateful to you, Lord, because we are witnesses of your goodness, your mercy, your love. You have had compassion on us, you have shown us mercy; there is nothing we can do to repay your goodness toward us, because we were all children of perdition because of the deception and sin we lived in, but it has been your good will to reveal yourself to us, so that we might turn away from that wide road that many enter through.
All the glory is yours, Lord; the only thing we can do is serve you with all our heart, do the best we can out of gratitude. We cannot do anything to repay you, because what you give us is too much, and besides, you need nothing from us, because you have everything, you are the owner of all things. But we give you glory, Lord, we exalt you, we worship you, we bless your name; may your kingdom come to us, Lord, may it come to our church, to our communities, to our family, to our home, to our children, and to every person we meet on the street.
May your will be done, wherever we set foot, as it is in heaven, and we thank you for the authority you have given us, because you came and gave gifts to mankind, and you gave us power and authority to tread on serpents, scorpions, and all the power of the enemy, and your word promises that nothing, for any reason, can harm us.
Let there be a firestorm over all the powers of darkness that oppose a revival, that are fighting, trying to keep the apostasy in place. Let the demonic stronghold, the walls, and the barriers that the devil built to try to prevent people from being freed from the apostasy fall, in the name of Jesus.
There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. Darkness and light collided, and darkness did not prevail; darkness will not prevail against the light. If God is with us, who can be against us? The name of our Lord Jesus Christ is above every name, and in His glorious and powerful name, every knee must bow and every tongue must confess that Jesus Christ is the King of Kings, to the glory of God the Father.
Let there be terror and confusion over all the powers of darkness that oppose a revival, in the name of Jesus.
Spirit of stupor, you leave in the name of Jesus Christ.
Hardened heart, come out in the name of Jesus.
Dullness of hearing, come out in the name of Jesus Christ.
Itching ears, out in the name of Jesus.
Intolerance of the truth, out in the name of Jesus Christ.
Apostasy, come out in the name of Jesus.
Love of the lie, out in the name of Jesus Christ.
Hatred of the truth, come out in the name of Jesus.
Love of the world and the things in it, out in the name of Jesus.
Deception and falsehood, come out in the name of Jesus Christ.
Another gospel, out in the name of Jesus.
Impostors of the Lord Jesus Christ, come out in the name of Jesus Christ.
Doctrines of demons, out in the name of Jesus.
Deceiving spirits, come out in the name of Jesus Christ.
Doctrines of darkness, come out in the name of Jesus.
Chains of bondage through religion and false doctrines, be broken in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let there be fire and light in every person who reads this book, in the name of Jesus.
Let those spiritual chains and shackles that were received through false doctrines be broken, in the name of Jesus.
There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. No weapon formed against us will prosper; the gates of Hades will not prevail against the church of God; he who is with us is stronger than he who is in the world.
I strike the entire army of apostasy with the light. Let there be a firestorm over all the territory of apostasy, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let there be rage and fury among all the armies that make up the army of apostasy, in the name of Jesus, and let them divide and violently attack one another, in the name of Jesus Christ; let them eat the flesh and drink the blood of one another, in the name of Jesus.
I strike every darkness with the light; I strike the entire army of the enemy with the light. Let there be a firestorm over the entire army of the enemy, in the name of Jesus.
Let the entire army of apostasy, the whole army that opposes the truth, catch fire and let each one explode, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let there be terror and confusion over everything that opposes a revival, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let those who oppose the salvation of God's elect be clothed with confusion, terror, and shame, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let them divide and attack one another while they burn, in the name of Jesus. I send every kind of plague to the territories of the demons of apostasy, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let missiles and bombs fall on their palaces and their territory, in the name of Jesus. Let there be terror and confusion throughout all their territories, in the name of Jesus Christ. Let there be fire in every person who reads this book and has listened to our teachings, in the name of Jesus Christ.
Let every power of darkness that opposes their walking in the fire of God, every demon that brings spiritual lukewarmness, catch fire and burn, in the name of Jesus Christ.
There is power in the name of Jesus, and where the Spirit of God is, there is freedom. I cover each one of you with the blood of Jesus Christ; I cover your homes and your loved ones with the blood of Jesus Christ.
And I bless each one of you in the name of Jesus.
