The heading is true, God is not the solution to man’s problem. Some may ask how I, whose life is dedicated to the Lord, could proclaim that He–almighty God–is not the solution to the problems faced by a people who claim to be ONE NATION UNDER HIM IN WHOM THEY TRUST?

I can make that statement because I have spent many years studying the Word (way, will) of that eternal Being and have come to believe what He says in His Holy Bible. Because I know what He says, believe and obey it I am able to distinguish between His Bible Truth and man’s church truth, which is in reality Satan’s truth. God’s Truth and man’s truth are as different as life and death.  In fact, if believed and obeyed, one produces eternal life and the other eternal death. The fact that those who claim to be God’s people reject this Scriptural Truth explains why they find themselves asking the WHY and WHAT questions following each outpouring of His wrath upon them. He has been sending lesson-teaching “woes” on those who claim to be His people for thousands of years beginning with Israel’s 40-year desert wanderings and continuing to the current woe called CODIS-19. The world, including its billions of “sinners saved by grace,” continues to ignore God’s Word while suffering woe after woe, warning after warning, curse after curse, all the while wondering WHY the curses come and WHAT is their solution? Adding fuel to the continuous crisis situations is man’s refusal to hear God’s messengers who not only answer their WHY and WHAT questions, but tell them how to prevent such problems from coming upon them. The curses God sends upon the world’s peoples is individual in nature as Psalm 91:7 proclaims. The psalmist makes it plain that that we are individually responsible for obeying God. The only exception to this law involves children who always suffer as a result of their parents’ sins.

I am reminded that God is in direct control of this ministry each time He places me in a situation, at the exact right time, under the exact right circumstance in order to speak to me. Under His Holy Spirit leadership I have been working on this series for some time. Last night I was “forced” to hear a message preached by a high-powered, well-known “minister of righteousness” as he warned the world that man’s sins were responsible for the downfall of the United States of America. He was well-informed and gave us a fact-based presentation of the nation’s ills and what was causing them. He was very impressive, as far as he went. I was not surprised when he did what all false prophets do, he left out the main cause of the nation’s demise–THE CHURCH–of which he is a leader. As I have proven numerous times, “As goes the church, so goes the nation.” As the number of true bible believers dwindles, so does their influence within the society as the society turns on them. As the effect of God’s church on the nation decreases, the effect of Satan’s Catholic/Protestant church increases exponentially. Man is religious by nature; he WILL worship something or someone. Satan knows this. As he has convinced religious man to doubt God and believe him, his influence has increased exponentially (Rev. 12:9). For proof, count the number of Institutional Churches in your area. No other singular entity has as many home bases as Satan’s Catholic/Protestant church system. Then count the number of true Bible-believing, God-obeying churches in your area. I dare say that you will not find even one. If no church can be found, count the number of  true individual believers in your area. If there is a member of God’s Very Elect in your area you will find that he/she will be rejected and ostracized by the Institutional Church and will have no spiritual influence in the community. God warned that this would be the case and I have found Him true to His Word. On the spiritual level, God’s people are considered by the church to be reprobates. I have been accused of “falling from grace” and invited to a “real church” where I could hear “God’s Truth” and hopefully get “saved.” Needless to say, I declined.

God placed His church on earth to be His light to the other 99% of the population. The light of the Institutional Church has gone out as she has followed Satan’s false prophets in believing and obeying his “perverted gospel.” This is not a modern phenomenon. The Apostle Paul was dealing with this problem within a generation of the founding of the New Testament Church (Gal. 1:6-9), as were the other apostles. Due to their forceful personalities and Spirit-empowered ministries they managed to prevent Satan from taking over the church completely during their lifetimes. However, within a hundred years of their deaths the church was unrecognizable. Having become totally Catholic, she bore no resemblance to the glorious institution Jesus had instituted in 31 A.D. Only a few true believers remained. These precious souls were hunted like animals, persecuted unmercifully and, in many cases, martyred by “the church.” Today the true people of God number only a few thousand world-wide while Satan’s church numbers in the billions. But God has always had a remnant–His Very Elect who believe and obey His Word as led by the Holy Spirit that lives within them: “They that are led by the Spirit of God, THEY (and only they) are the son’s of God” (Rom. 8:14). God’s Spirit leads His people to believe and obey His Word. All other “believers” are counterfeits, as is their church, their god, their messiah and their salvation. With the Lord it is all or nothing. Not one Word, not one jot or tittle can be added to or removed from His Word. To do so brings on God’s wrath. Which explains COVID-19.

In these final days of this final age God is speaking through His men and through His curses with ever more power. Satan is also busy. As things get worse during a curse he begins to draw people to himself. Catholic and Protestant churches gain parishioners. People “see the light,” “get saved,” etc.  “Rededications” increase. Preachers gain in popularity due to their “Return to the Church and to God” messages. But the Biblical God is not in the Institutional Church. The church has become Christianity’s Golden Calf that offers religious people a “safe space” where they are assured that “God is with you.” If we can take God at His Word, He is not only not with them in the current curse, it is He who has sent the curse in the first place. Can we take Him at His Word? That is the ultimate question, the answer to which determines one’s status with Him.  L.J.
