Lot’s of Entertainment, No Engagement

As I’ve stated before, so do I again. “As a Pastor, it’s very easy to come into agreement with the religious ambiance of the country; and to preach / teach or echo that of the country’s religious leaders.

One of the most frightening revelations concerning nations and today’s religious churches came to me within hours of writing this article.

During the process of writing another article, I was instructed by the Holy Spirit to shift course and write the following.

As chaos, mayhem and the law of deterioration runs rampant throughout the earth due to the deceptive spirit of religion. The church (the gathering of saints) has been reduced to a gathering of people for religious / emotional entertainments.

The representation of the church that is seen today is in no position spiritually to successfully engage and war against the forces of evil and the kingdom of darkness; as it‘s been distracted and lured to sleep by religious teachings that’s not inspired by the Holy Spirit.

Ninety five percent of today’s church preaching and teachings is centered around materialism and financial prosperity; in other words the church has become a bless me club. Whereby the so-called prophets entertains and thrills their audiences with prophesy of how God is about to bless somebody with “a car, a house or some other form of materialism” 

It’s this type of religious (foolishness) preaching & teaching that the poor in spirit or the spiritual immature is feeding on; and of which the enemy thrives.

Now,  is God concern about the welfare and blessing of His people?  Yes, by all means is He concern about this aspect of His people lives.

But where today’s church has ran aground and have gone off course is that its teachings and whatever new books written by religious leaders has a very strong cord of prosperity and materialism attached.

The obedience to God’s word by His people always brought about provision for the house of God, for the Priests and those who worked in the house. 
Watch this!

The Priests didn’t have to market themselves and merchandise the word of God as the religious leaders of today are doing in Jesus’ name.

Disobedience and the compromising of God’s word by religious leaders worldwide, has led to the fleecing that’s taking place in various churches today.  And before this skillful fleecing takes place a very high level of emotional entertainment goes forth; its often disguised as “Praise & Worship”

But nothing could be further from the truth, as praise & worship is a Holy Act; and there is nothing Holy in the fleecing of God’s people.

Please let me hasten to say that “I am a staunch believer in the prosperity of God and not this incomplete prosperity teachings of today’s church that benefits primarily the religious leaders” 
There is very little to no balance in the church as it relates to the teaching and preaching of prosperity.  To the point that many well meaning saints are blind and are at a level of ignorance to the fact that the spiritual battle is not yet over.

Nowhere in the scriptures can it be found (That the battle is over, let’s take it easy and enjoy our prosperity as we awaits the Lord’s return),  but rather here’s what the apostle Paul says:

Eph.6: 11.  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

: 12.  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

Religious entertainments / conferences always appeals to the emotions of its patrons somewhat like that of crack-cocaine to its user. Where the first hit of crack-cocaine opens the doors to a craving that can only be satisfied by more cocaine.
The enemy is fully aware of the fact that the church is filled with religious junkies and he’s methodically fulfilling their desires through entertaining religious leaders.

The saints / disciples of Yeshuwa Messiah that are confronting and engaging the evil forces and kingdom of darkness has the revelation of Luke.9:1-2.

Lk.9: 1.  Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.

: 2.  And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.


Which crew are you apart of ?  The crew that seeks entertainment or the crew that confronts and engages the evil forces / kingdom of darkness?
