To all Pastors/Priests/Ministers,
One of the more shocking stories in the Old Testaments occurs when King David wanted to bring the Ark to Jerusalem. So “David consulted with the captains of thousands and hundreds, and with every leader. And David said to all the assembly of Israel, ‘If it seems good to you, and if it is of the LORD our God, let us send out to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites who are in their cities and their common-lands, that they may gather together to us; and let us bring the ark of our God back to us, for we have not inquired at it since the days of Saul.’ Then all the assembly said that they would do so, for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim. And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed. (1 Chronicles 13:1–6 (NKJV))” Notice error creeping in here because David consulted the people instead of God. God’s servants have to be careful and consult with God before speaking with God’s people. The people then said the thing seemed right in their eyes, but where was God in it?
Next, “David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor in Egypt to as far as the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim. And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath Jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God the LORD, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name is proclaimed. So they carried the ark of God on a new cart from the house of Abinadab, and Uzza and Ahio drove the cart. (1 Chronicles 13:5–7 (NKJV))” Whose idea was it to carry it on a cart? They were diligent in creating a new cart. It was quite an event for “David and all Israel played music before God with all their might, with singing, on harps, on stringed instruments, on tambourines, on cymbals, and with trumpets. (1 Chronicles 13:8 (NKJV))” They felt they were worshiping God with all their might. But suddenly “when they came to Chidon’s threshing floor, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, for the oxen stumbled. Then the anger of the LORD was aroused against Uzza, and He struck him because he put his hand to the ark; and he died there before God. (1 Chronicles 13:9–10 (NKJV))” So, what seemed right in the people’s eyes was not right in God’s eyes because they were not careful to consult Him and find out how to move it properly. The priests should have known. Notice in 1 Chronicles 14 that David remembered to inquire of God whether he can do something and how to do it according to God’s word and David was given some huge victories over his enemies. So now “David … prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched a tent for it. Then David said, ‘No one may carry the ark of God but the Levites, for the LORD has chosen them to carry the ark of God and to minister before Him forever.’ (1 Chronicles 15:1–2 (NKJV))” He inquired of God and found that only God’s priests can carry the ark. This is important. Furthermore, they had put it on a cart being pulled by oxen and oxen have long been symbols of idol worship going all the way back to Egypt. The ark contained “the golden pot that had the manna, Aaron’s rod that budded, and the tablets of the covenant. (Hebrews 9:4 (NKJV))” The ark had the knowledge of God in it which are the tablets and manna which is a type of the bread of life – Jesus Christ, the budding rod which shows a priesthood that never ends. The priests are given the knowledge of God, and they should have known how to handle the ark. Furthermore, they insulted God by having oxen carry Him instead of the priests. False gods cannot carry or represent God. Only God’s servants can carry His knowledge. Now today this is absolutely the same. We are “a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. (1 Peter 2:9–10 (NKJV))” All who are under Christ are a part of the priesthood. But what has happened today and the last few hundred years? Men have taken it upon themselves to be the priests over God’s people and are not referring to the manna, the bread of life, the Word of God which are the scriptures – the bible – to find the proper way to worship Him!
Here is what God says: “A son honors his father, And a servant his master. If then I am the Father, Where is My honor? And if I am a Master, Where is My reverence? Says the LORD of hosts To you priests who despise My name. Yet you say, ‘In what way have we despised Your name?’ ‘You offer defiled food on My altar, But say, ‘In what way have we defiled You?’ By saying, ‘The table of the LORD is contemptible.’ (Malachi 1:6–7 (NKJV))” What is the table of the Lord? It is the food that we need to grow spiritually and can only come from the bible! Again, the bible is the manna prepared for us from the beginning of this age. It is contemptible to modern self-proclaimed priests because they pick and choose what to follow. There are numerous false doctrines. For example: Once saved – always saved, baptism of sprinkling little babies, catechisms, the Lords Day (Sunday) as a sabbath, women pastors, false rapture doctrines, church buildings, clergy/laity setups at assemblies, Christmas, Easter. These things are all easily fixed by reading scriptures and not throwing scriptures out because they seem outdated or don’t meet up with the needs and desires of the people. Furthermore, God’s prophets are everywhere across the world and are in most places ignored or worse put out of the churches. Yet, these are the very people that God shares His truth through and sends to correct these errors, which is clearly demonstrated throughout scriptures. The result of ignoring the prophets is that the priests, pastors and ministers have fallen into the anger of God for He says you “‘offer the blind as a sacrifice, Is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, Is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?’ Says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 1:8 (NKJV))” Who are the blind, lame and sick? Jesus said it clearly in Luke for “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed; To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord. (Luke 4:18–19 (NKJV))” We call ourselves Christians and claim to be spreading light when God says “But you profane it, In that you say, ‘The table of the Lord is defiled; And its fruit, its food, is contemptible.’ (Malachi 1:12 (NKJV))”. We profane God’s name (Christian/Christ) by literally saying that the scriptures aren’t good enough for us. Therefore, let’s ignore those that don’t fit the times because they might offend the people. We want to be inclusive and show love. So we say “‘“Oh, what a weariness!” And you sneer at it,’ Says the Lord of hosts. ‘And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick; Thus you bring an offering! Should I accept this from your hand?’ Says the Lord (Malachi 1:13 (NKJV))”. The people aren’t repenting and being baptized and cleaned up. They are captured into a false sense of security where they are told they don’t have to do anything. Just wait for the rapture. These are the people being offered to God!
God says “‘For the lips of a priest should keep knowledge, And people should seek the law from his mouth; For he is the messenger of the Lord of hosts. But you have departed from the way [Jesus]; You have caused many to stumble at the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi,’ Says the Lord of hosts. ‘Therefore I also have made you contemptible and base Before all the people, Because you have not kept My ways But have shown partiality in the law.’ (Malachi 2:7–9 (NKJV))” God says the priest should hold the knowledge. This is the same as in King David’s day. The people should not do what seems right in their eyes. No, they are to seek knowledge from the priest. Now, today it means from each other as the Holy Spirit will lead and teach us in all things. A proper assembly of the people will have two or three prophets speak (I Cor. 14). The meetings should be small enough to fit in a house. Nowhere, does it say build huge buildings. Instead of diffusing the fragrance (2 Cor. 2:14-15) of Christ everywhere it is being smothered in giant church buildings and possibly even among a few priests – although I doubt they have the Spirit of God or they would speak the truth and tear down those buildings they worship so much. This is coming to an end for “who can endure the day of His coming? And who can stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire And like launderers’ soap. He will sit as a refiner and a purifier of silver; He will purify the sons of Levi, And purge them as gold and silver, That they may offer to the Lord An offering in righteousness. ‘Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem Will be pleasant to the Lord, As in the days of old, As in former years. And I will come near you for judgment; I will be a swift witness Against sorcerers, Against adulterers, Against perjurers, Against those who exploit wage earners and widows and orphans, And against those who turn away an alien— Because they do not fear Me,’ Says the Lord of hosts. (Malachi 3:2–5 (NKJV))” The sorcerers, adulterers, perjurers are the priests of today – regardless of how holy you seem. You are happy with your tithes and offerings and you won’t preach the truth for fear the people will leave and stop paying. You build your huge buildings to make it appear as though you are doing a great work for God instead of helping the widows and orphans. I dare you to tear them down. Sell the church buildings and give the proceeds to the widows and the orphans. But the priests are greedy and “They have forsaken the right way and gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Beor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness. (2 Peter 2:15 (NKJV))” It’s all coming to an end soon! You will see. That great church you love to go to whether it be Methodist, Presbyterian, Catholic, Church of Christ, Lutheran, Church of England and so on will absolutely come to an end. Start now! You have a church of 100, then break it down into 10 groups of 10 and establish each group at someone’s house. Then establish your elders (mature – knowledgeable in the Word) who can manage the meetings. That is what Paul was having Timothy do. It was not to create some great church hierarchy but rather to keep the meetings small and distributed. Of course no one is brave enough to do this. You love the praise of men and your big church hierarchies. Each one creating their own kingdoms on earth. There is no scripture to justify this approach. This is following in the traditions of men in churches over the last 1900 hundred years. Truly if Jesus wanted it this way, then why would He allow the temple to be destroyed? Why were the Pharisees so offended by Jesus and the things that He was doing?
Jesus said, “However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come (John 16:13 (NKJV))”. This is for anyone with the Holy Spirit. Any doctrine that teaches this statement was only for the original twelve is false. It simply does not say that. If this is true for all who have the Holy Spirit, then why are we limiting church services to be run and executed by a privileged few who call themselves pastors? Paul says clearly “Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others judge. But if anything is revealed to another who sits by, let the first keep silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. (1 Corinthians 14:29–32 (NKJV))” How simple that is. You can all prophesy one by one! How will this happen in a church meeting with a thousand people? Part of the reason for this is that “all may be encouraged” and I tell you the truth that you are truly encouraged when the Holy Spirit speaks through you! How may all the people participate in the meetings by the use of the Holy Spirit if they are just huddled in a big pile and one person is giving a message that they prepared days in advance and then the meeting ends? This is man’s way. God’s ways are so simple and when we refuse to follow them, we create a mess that He has to undo. This approach that the churches have taken has led to a society that does not believe in God. It is getting so dark. Darkness means without light and God is light! Obey God, which means His Word, and the light comes back. The darkness is just a representation of the spiritual weakness of the priests. God said that when His people disobey that curses would fall upon them. Here is what they are:
- “Cursed shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. (Deuteronomy 28:16 (NKJV))” There will not be any success in the city nor on the farms. Today we see all the cities failing with cost overruns, slums, housing costs too high, pollution, crime, drugs. On the farms we see various pestilences, high cost of machinery, problems with animals and produce.
- “Cursed shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. (Deuteronomy 28:17 (NKJV))” Food costs soar, various infections carried by the food.
- “Cursed shall be the fruit of your body and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. (Deuteronomy 28:18 (NKJV))” Difficulty in getting pregnant – 15% of women can’t get pregnant.
- “The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish. (Deuteronomy 28:22 (NKJV))”, “The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt, with tumors, with the scab, and with the itch, from which you cannot be healed. The Lord will strike you with madness and blindness and confusion of heart. (Deuteronomy 28:27–28 (NKJV))” The word Egypt always references a state of sin which our nation is living in. Why is the medical industry one of the largest in the US? Why are people confused about whether their biological birth sex is not right for them? Why are women confused about whether they should marry a women or men a man?
- “And your heavens which are over your head shall be bronze, and the earth which is under you shall be iron. The Lord will change the rain of your land to powder and dust; from the heaven it shall come down on you until you are destroyed. (Deuteronomy 28:23–24 (NKJV))” We have droughts everywhere. Lakes are getting lower and lower. These are not because of global warming and such things that men who hate God try to blame it on. No these come from God. We have massive forest fires devouring thousands of acres of land.
- “Your carcasses shall be food for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth, and no one shall frighten them away. (Deuteronomy 28:26 (NKJV))” This is in reference to demons being allowed to harass us all day long every day. God’s Spirit will not dwell with those living in sin, so no one has the ability to command them to leave. Those with God’s Spirit are given the right to command demons to leave in the New Testament. Read it and you will see.
- “The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies; you shall go out one way against them and flee seven ways before them; and you shall become troublesome to all the kingdoms of the earth. (Deuteronomy 28:25 (NKJV))” While our military is second to none, nevertheless we are overrun by our enemies – communists, socialists, Muslims, unbelievers of all kinds. There is no place left to flee to.
- “And you shall grope at noonday, as a blind man gropes in darkness; you shall not prosper in your ways; you shall be only oppressed and plundered continually, and no one shall save you. (Deuteronomy 28:29 (NKJV))” I previously mention that the Holy Spirit of God is what gives light. If there is no light, then the Holy Spirit is not dwelling here. Without God’s knowledge which is given by His Spirit then we truly are groping in the dark even though He has given it freely to any who want to obey Him (noonday)!
- “You shall betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her; you shall build a house, but you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, but shall not gather its grapes. (Deuteronomy 28:30 (NKJV))” Fornication and adultery are rampant, houses cost too much buy, all our work is wasted away on nothing with high cost of living. We have the greatest tech on earth but yet can’t solve simple problems like free electricity and water. The cost of mortgage or rent eats our income. Foreigners from other countries buy up our companies.
- “Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another people, and your eyes shall look and fail with longing for them all day long; and there shall be no strength in your hand (Deuteronomy 28:32 (NKJV))”. Are not our children consumed by everything internet, false teachings at colleges, and consumed by jobs to feed other people’s wealth?
- “A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually. (Deuteronomy 28:33 (NKJV))” Our enemies have invaded us from all sides. Fools say, “we need to have open borders and let all the poor people in and give them free welfare and medical and housing”. God’s scriptures are clear in that foreigners are only allowed to live among us if they convert to being Christians. In the Old Testament it was called becoming circumcised showing that it was their intent to follow God’s laws in Israel. In the New Testament it is called circumcision of the heart which means repentance and getting baptized and having hands laid on you to receive the Holy Spirit.
- “So you shall be driven mad because of the sight which your eyes see (Deuteronomy 28:34 (NKJV))”. We hear it all the time that we cannot believe what we are seeing in the nation all around us. What insanity it is. What darkness it is.
- “The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. (Deuteronomy 28:43 (NKJV))” This has already happened. Most in congress are not Christian and the same is true in the state houses and in the judiciary. We can’t even find a judge to convict a person of murder who admits to the murder. How insane is that?
“Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of the Lord your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He commanded you. (Deuteronomy 28:45 (NKJV))” With all this happening we cannot find a priest/minister/elder/bishop that will admit that maybe they are doing something wrong – that maybe we need to change! This is simple. If you want the madness to end, then all the priests need to start preaching the truth. Get rid of all the false doctrines before the curses utterly consume us! It is time for the pastors/priests to give up their Nicolaitan (ruling over the people) style church systems and convert over to the New Testament style system where everyone is a priest. The people need the Holy Spirit, and they need to be working for the Lord according to the gifts that He gives (Eph. 4:11, I Cor. 12:7-11,27-31). These gifts have been falsely interpreted as a church hierarchy that rules over the people. Jesus said He hates it (Rev. 2:6,15). In King David’s day once the priests read the Word of God and then properly executed that Word, they were able to transport the ark (Jesus Christ is the ark) properly and then everyone was filled with joy! The same is true today. The pastors/ministers of today need to read the scriptures and restore the truth and return the service of God to everyone as all are a part of the priesthood and should be diffusing the fragrance of the knowledge of God wherever they live! Then the people will be filled with joy, and God will lift all the curses as the people obey Him!
