EKKLESIA MESSAGES 1, 2

EKKLESIA MESSAGE 1

"the good that I would, I do not; the evil that I would not, that I do."  (Romans 7:19).      

My thoughts concerning the perilous times we are living in and the desolate condition of the church. There is a remnant, a holy seed that remains, even in great tribulation when the pillars and foundations, the doctrine and power of Christ, in the church has been destroyed and the abomination of desolation made manifest, Satan appearing as God and worshipped by "giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils" and thru ravenous wolves, ministers of Satan, appearing righteous to those who judge by outward appearance, "having a form of godliness" A building designed for lording over the flock bewitched in strong delusion, gagged and bound to the pews, subservient to a hireling-pastoral dictatorship, the way of Cain who murdered his brother Abel because he was righteous, and the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, and hireling-denominations, and gain-sayers,"which thing I hate". For decades, the Chief Cornerstone which the church builders despise and reject, because " their is no beauty that we should desire Him", seeking their own glory, pomp and pulpit, "loving the praise of men more than the praise of God", and "comparing themselves among themselves" ( are not wise). "These be they that are sensual, having not the Spirit", governed by the "ever-learning but never coming to the knowledge of God", carnal-minded scribes who love to take bribes "speaking lies through hypocrisy". "Desiring to be teachers of the law of God, neither know it or whereof they can affirm". "Bastards and not sons". The body of Christ has come out of the church, the building made with unclean hands, and each member "filly framed together growth up into the full stature of Christ", the Head supplying the Spirit. Within are saints. Without are dogs, sorcerers and those who love to make lies.                

EKKLESIA MESSAGE 2

"Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: 

men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith." (‭2 Timothy‬ ‭3‬:‭8‬ KJV)

Self-willed. "Our lips are our own, who is lord over us?" (Ps.12) 

How do they attract so many to follow after them? By the prince of the power of the air.

They allure through the lusts of the flesh: the pride of life, the desire of the eyes,

"speaking great swelling words".

Going after the way of Cain who hated his brother Abel whose sacrifice by faith was righteous and pleasing to God, 

Cain supposing the works of his own hands, though found to be unclean, would be acceptable unto God.

"...NOT OF WORKS, LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST"

"Who shall ascend unto the hill of the Lord? He that hath clean hands and a pure heart." 

The prophets of Baal outnumber the servants of God a thousand to one.

They rule the darkness. Ravenous wolves. Servants of Mammon, 

"transformed as ministers of righteousness"

Nevertheless, "by the power of God, I can run through a troop and leap over a wall."

"one shall chase a thousand"

TURN AWAY FROM THE ALTARS OF THE GOLDEN CALVES

whose priests conspire together, "setting traps, catching men", 

no longer able to endure the sound doctrine of Christ. Enemies of the cross

"whose god is their belly, reprobate concerning the faith"

"BECAUSE INIQUITY ABOUNDS, MANY SHALL FOLLOW THEIR PERNICIOUS WAYS"

"the mightiest of them shall flee away naked" before the righteous,

whose "obedience is fulfilled" by the grace of God and power of his might.

GIANTS OF FLESH, "sensual, earthy, devilish"

The thief comes only for one purpose: to destroy and to kill.

"ungodly men ordained to condemnation... Bastards, and not sons"

Withdraw yourself from ungodly counselors who suppose gain is godliness

and hypocritical mockers who cannot cease from sin.

William, least of the brethren
