There has never been a time like this in America. First, COVID-19. Record unemployment, 100,000 deaths, and churches closed coast to coast. Now the riots. Something is happening that is political, economic, social, and spiritual. The devil wants to destroy America. We’re not a perfect county. But no nation has offered more freedoms, economic advantage, and opportunity. Most important, for more than a century, America has been the Christian capital of the world. We send the most missionaries. We print the most Bibles. We have the most churches preaching the gospel. In America, more people confess a personal relationship with Jesus Christ than anywhere on earth. We have our flaws as a nation and a church but consider this. This old ship of Zion, as the church has been called, may be a leaky boat, but it is still the best thing afloat anywhere on earth.

That’s why Satan has taken advantage of the George Floyd situation to foment social unrest that can lead to a takeover by the socialist and communists in our midst. That’s not a political statement, it’s a spiritual evaluation. America’s economic, legal, political, and social structure has brought forth the greatest expansion of the Christian message in history, through religious media, music, publishing, and church growth. Satan must stop that. Communists hate that. Socialist won’t tolerate it. If you don’t believe me, cite a single nation on earth past or present where the church has flourished under a socialist or communistic government. And make no mistake, the George Floyd tragedy is being exploited by godless, demonically motivated forces who care nothing about racism. Any injustice against blacks is a tool to be exploited by white elitists who want to destroy America and Christianity.

One more thought. When it comes to embracing deliverance, the black church in America, and African-Americans in general, are far more open to the message of spiritual warfare. In some ways, the hope for America’s spiritual future lies with the black community. They are ones who understand spiritual oppression more than any other group. They know that slavery was demonic. Some African Americans may indeed be troubled about white racism and rogue cops who act contrary to their civic duty. These blacks may wish to express that opinion in forceful ways. But snatching a Gucci bag from a broken store window is about lawlessness, not racial oppression. These riots are demonic. They are spiritual preparation for the man called “man of lawlessness” in Second Thessalonians 2:3. The Antichrist. May justice be done for George Floyd. And may all Americans, of all colors, rise as one nation under God to cast out the demons behind injustice and hate that comes from Hell. 

Demonic possession is what I call “proprietary possession,” the devil’s copyrighted claim to your life. First the word “proprietary.” As an adjective it means “ownership.’ As a noun it means “owner” or “proprietor.” It’s another way to describe what those in deliverance ministry call “legal rights.” That’s the concept which teaches that the devil cannot invade anyone, including a Christian, unless he has the right — does he have ownership claims. If so, where and when did he stake such a claim? Proprietary possession is like having intellectual rights, as referred to in law. Intellectual property is the intangible creation of human intellect, like a song, a novel, or a work of art. In business we think of this as patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and trademarks. What has this to do with spiritual warfare? Much.

If a Christian engages in something which the devil has trademarked, a practice which Satan claims as his intellectual (spiritual) property, the believer’s engagement in this matter runs the risk that the devil will enforce his rights by a proprietary claim. Demonic possession can result. In practical terms, this can happen when Christians engage in things such as yoga, qigong, tai chi, Enneagrams, acupuncture, energy healing, reiki, etc. Study the history of these indulgences, as I have, and you’ll quickly realize that the origins of these practices are connected to occult and pagan belief systems. That legally tarnishes their use in a renovated, spiritually reconstructed context.

Some Christians may argue that their intent wasn’t evil, and consequently the devil can’t use such things to bring spiritual oppression. Think again. Try driving your neighbor’s car without permission and give the flimsy excuse that you needed transportation to go to church on Sunday. Your intent was not to commit theft. You had a spiritual purpose in mind. When your neighbor reports you to the police will the authorities care about how you intended to use the car? No, it was stolen property! You violated the proprietary right of the owner.

If Hindus designed yoga postures to emulate gods or developed devotional poses as a means of calling upon spirit beings, do you have the right to violate that spiritual trademark? If a shamanic healer is seeking to redistribute your chi energy for health and longevity, based on Chinese Buddhist beliefs, can you violate that spiritual copyright and escape spiritually unscathed? If the Enneagram personality types were developed by the likes of mystic occultist George Gurdjieff and psychotropic drug advocate Claudia Naranjo, can you convert the nine Enneagram personality types into benign behavioral characteristics? 

When the devil has patented something, Christians had better beware. Approach with caution. As Isaiah 5:20 declares, “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil; Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness; Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” Avoid violating occult proprietary rights which may lead to demonic possession. Don’t let the devil file a spiritual lawsuit of copyright infringement on your life.

Things are now happening that raise questions about how much of what we see all around us is happenstance or is in some measure orchestrated. Who is behind the abrupt shift in cultural and political reality which we’ve witnessed in the last few months? Satan needs human instruments to bring about his evil. He is an immaterial being and he needs materiality to accomplish his ends. Could his surrogates be shadowy organizations like Freemasonry and the Illuminati, that have a goal of world domination.

In 1776 a man named Adam Weishaupt founded the Illuminati, a Bavarian, Germany secret society. The Illuminati goal then, and now, is a New World Order. Just how far they’ve gone to achieve that goal is speculation. In America, we’ve learned in recent years just how entrenched such secretive “deep states” can be. Minerva’s Owl is the Illuminati symbol. Minerva was the Roman goddess of wisdom and war, counterpart to the Greek’s Athena. (Both archetypes of Jezebel.) Later, Minerva became associated with the Greek island of Lesbos, a place of ritualized homosexuality, from which we get the word “lesbianism.” 

In addition to its Freemason connections, the Illuminati is connected with the Rosicrucians, another diabolical secret order. Rosicrucianism is a form of Egyptian black magic. This unholy alliance of Freemasonry, the Illuminati, and the Rosicrucians remains today. The Illuminati appears to also have ties to the California-based Bohemian Grove secret society, which has included Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and the Bushes. Skull and Bones, also known as “The Brotherhood of Death” is a secret Yale University society whose membership includes powerful people, including several Supreme Court Justices. All refuse to speak of what goes on in the cult, which, like the Masons, involves vows of death. 

Some assert that behind all this is the Rothschilds, said to be the most powerful financial family in the world. Rothchild’s wealth founded the white regimes of southern Africa, funded the Russo-Japanese war, controlled the largest mining company in the world (Rio Tinto), created De Beers Diamonds controlling the diamond markets of the world, financed the Suez Canal, and became the most powerful family. In the early 19^th century, one credible publication stated that the Rothschilds “govern a Christian world . . . (and) hold the keys of peace or war, blessing or cursing.”

Whoever the human instruments are behind this skullduggery – the Rothschilds, Skull and Bones, Bohemian Grove, Freemasonry, or the Illuminati — let us not forget the words of Ephesians 6:12: “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.” That is what this ministry does. We don’t talk about demons. We do something about them. We fight real demons in real people who are tormented. Join us in the war against the devil, his demons, and the Illuminati.

Throughout human history God has dealt with humanity in three distinct categories: Society in general. The Jews in particular. The Christian church in specific.

SOCIETY: By this I mean the aggregate of all individuals throughout all recorded time, from Eden to the present. God has dealt with society in terms of morals, laws, culture, government, and religion. With respect to the end of time, in Matthew 24 Christ described society this way: But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark (NKJV).

In the last days, society will be like the time of Noah. People went about life in their normal, usual way. Family life, commerce, and pleasure were indulged in without any regard for god or conscience. It was so bad that Genesis 6:5 says: Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. NKJV

THE JEWS: All of history that really matters spiritually, before the birth of Jesus, was the tale of the Jewish nation and God’s dealings with Israel. The clock of God’s dealings with Israel is about to strike midnight. It began more than a century ago when Jews began returning to their homeland of Israel. This prophetic timeline accelerated in May 4, 1948 with the establishment of the Jewish state in the Holy Land. On this date the United Nations officially recognized the State of Israel, thus fulfilling a biblical prophecy going back more than two millennia. This “gathering of exiles,” also known as the “Aliyah,” fulfilled the prophecy of Moses in Deuteronomy 30:3.

THE CHURCH: This is where we focus now, the Great Apostasy, referred to in 2 Thess. 2:3-4: Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition( NKJV). For several weeks we’ve focused on how COVID-19 is a presage, a demonic preparation, what I’ve called a “scrimmage,” a dress rehearsal for the final act of mankind’s drama of life. If we are in the Last Days, then we should be able to recognize the signs of this apostasy even now. We need a broader understanding of this matter. First the word “apostasy” means the renunciation of a religious belief. In more practical terms, it is a turning away from the Christian faith to embrace spiritual rebellion, “witchcraft” more specifically.

1)    The spirit of Jezebel is more rampant that ever. I’ve done deliverance 40 years, and decades ago I would encounter this spirit somewhat frequently. But today, it is every day, and sometimes many times in a single day. Jezebel was the ultimate apostate, who sought to destroy the nation of Israel and the worship of Jehovah with her sorceries.

2)    The eclectic syncretism of pagan concepts of spirituality is greater today than ever. “Eclectic” means borrowing from a wide variety of sources and syncretism means blending and assimilating different religious beliefs into one.

Here are the signs of the Great Apostasy.

1)   A “crossless” Christianity. Playing down the distinctives of Christianity to make pagans feel comfortable in our midst.

2)   Turning church into a place where we expect God to come down to us as a good buddy rather than our reaching up to God as an awesome Creator before whom we bow with fear and trembling.

3)   Failing to wage spiritual warfare against real devils and talking about deliverance but never really doing anything about. In this age of great apostasy, we need committed Christians who are instead morally disciplined, loyal to Christ and His church, ardent in their enthusiasm, faithful in obedience to the Word, and defenders of the faith and the whole gospel of salvation, spiritual healing, and deliverance from demons. 

You and I, and the American public, have been lied to about this COVID-19 crisis. Some of those lies were unintentional, well-meaning conjecture by civic-minded individuals in leadership. Other lies were deliberate to seize upon this pandemic to further an evil political agenda. And that political intent was inherently diabolical because it promotes the spirit of the Antichrist. Follow this step by step.

We have been told that, for our own good, it was necessary to close all the schools in America, effectively dumbing-down a generation. Because New York City, the epicenter of this pandemic, was in a health crisis, some politicians insisted that we all had to become New York and lock ourselves away lest we die by the millions. Fact: New York with just 6% of U.S. population has one-third of all COVID deaths. This COVID panic then went after the church. Congregations of any size, anywhere, were forbidden to worship, even if they practiced social distancing. Pastors were arrested. Even driving into a church parking lot resulted in a $500 fine. Almost any surgical procedure, non-COVID, was deemed unnecessary. Unless you were suffering a high fever and persistent cough, many doctors wouldn’t even look at you. Deaths from accidents, heart disease, and flu were pushed aside because it was all about COVID, no matter that millions became jobless and the government prohibited any form of public worship. And notice what wasn’t banned in most states — lottery tickets, sales of liquor, and dispensing of marijuana. Hmmm.

Some died because they couldn’t get what Big Brother said was a non-essential surgery. Family members suffered in hospitals without visitors and even died alone. Millions lost their jobs and ended up in food bank lines. We were told to shut up, lock down, put on our masks and binge-watch Netflix, for our own good. We all became New York, otherwise we were warned 50 to 100 million of us would die. (Yes, some so-called experts said that.) And even if we complied, we were admonished that life would never be the same again. We’d never shake hands. Give someone a hug. A bigger government would have to monitor our every move with drones. All for our own good. 

I ask a simple question. Do you personally know anyone who has died from COVID-19? Do you know anyone who knows anyone who died from COVID-19? I don’t, and I don’t know anyone who does. Yes, thousands have died, though far less than an average year’s total of drug overdoses, suicide, and car accidents. I’m not minimizing the need for measured concern, even locally drastic measures where warranted. But in the name of COVID-19 there has been demonic over-reach. Demonic because it has been based on exaggerated lies that fit perfectly into events that presage the coming of the Antichrist. We mourn those who have died from COVID-19. We honor all doctors, nurses, and first responders who braved personal health challenges to treat those truly suffering. But we must all learn a lesson, that the “son of perdition” (2 Thess. 2:3 KJV), “man of lawlessness” (NIV), the Antichrist, will doubtless build his kingdom based on COVID-like lies. You’ve been warned. This pandemic has been a ramp-up for the revealing of the Evil One. Will you be this easily deceived next time?  

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons. 1 Timothy 4:1 NKJV

This is a very misunderstood scripture. Here is what we clearly know from these words of Paul:

·        This message came by the Holy Spirit, not human conjecture.

·        This condition is a signal sign of the Rapture and the end of the world.

This great deception that occurs just before the return of Christ will be made possible because many Christians will base their faith on experience and feelings, not sound doctrine. Paul isn’t saying the latter days will be a time of NO doctrine. There will be doctrine, but it will be BAD doctrine.

Based on my experience as an exorcist, I will tell you the demons that will energize these deceptions. My message “Demons that Deny the Rapture” also posted on our YouTube Exorcism channel list 5 major demons associated with end times lies that some in the church will believe. I’ll mention two prominent ones here:

1. JEZEBEL—We already know from Revelation chapter 2 that this spirit in the church promotes occult practices and sexual immorality. I’m speaking of churches which embrace sexual perversion and encourage new age practices such as yoga, enneagrams, energy healing and such.
2. LEVIATHAN AND KUNDALINI—These are the serpent spirits of spiritual pride and false spirituality, thinking that demonic manifestations are spiritual experiences. Churches which don’t believe in deliverance and say that Christians can’t have demons are especially susceptible to this deception.

One thing which the devil, Lucifer, doesn’t want us to believe, is that Christians will be “caught up,” taken away by the suddenness of His coming. Satan wants to take Matthew 24:44 and change “in such as hour as ye think not” into “it ain’t gonna happen anyway.” But the voice of the archangel and the trump of God will silence that argument once and for all. Be ready. Don’t miss it.

I have a prophetic word from the Lord. I use those words carefully. These days there is far too much indiscriminate usage of the word “prophetic.” It is often an adjective to describe nothing more than an inspirational utterance, often a restating of what Scripture has already declared. Occasionally, it is no more insightful than what any well-informed person would already know from cable news and various web sites. But what’s also prophetic is more than statements of prediction but also words of compulsion, powerful insights, and the urgent stating of a biblical mandate. Prophetic words may reference God’s dealings with humanity in the past, projected into the future. That’s where my prophetic word from the Lord comes in.

Throughout the Old Testament, God used plagues, natural disasters, and atmospheric phenomena to bring judgment and turn people back to Himself. In 2 Chronicles 7:13 the Lord declares that he can withhold rain (Australia’s recent drought and devastating wildfires?), send swarms of locusts (Billions of locusts are currently ravaging East Africa.), and send pestilence among my people (Coronavirus.). It may be argued that this was the way an Old Testament God dealt specifically with the nation of Israel. But Romans 11:19-24 clearly states that Christians of the New Covenant are grafted into the vine of God by faith in Christ the Messiah.  

Whatever date the government sets for the ending of a physical quarantine, COVID-19 is God’s warning of judgment on America for departing from our Judeo-Christian foundation. Deuteronomy 28:21 declares that rebellion against God brings a “clinging plague.” Even now we’re being warned that after the worst passes there may be additional waves of coronavirus—it will cling to us!  America may eventually get back to work, but until we get back to God, we’ll not end the spiritual quarantine of COVID-19. That’s my prophetic word.*

*Next week, more specific information about this prophetic word from God concerning the continuing effect of COVID-19 even after social distancing has been lifted.  

The return of Christ to earth, often called the Second Coming. Some refer to it as the rapture, the secret catching away of Christians as celebrated in books like “Left Behind.” But when and how this is to happen has been a source of dispute for 2,000 years of church history. Acts 1:11 says “this same Jesus” will come as the disciplines saw him go, received into the clouds of glory.  But “When?” is the question that divides so many.

In the Olivet discourse of Matthew chapter 24, Christ responded to the disciples who wanted to know when He would return and when the end of the world would occur. Christ referred to many things which would occur before the end. In verse 7, King James Version, “pestilence” is listed as the “beginning of sorrows,” “birth pangs” as several translations have it.  Pestilence means “plague” which refers to a contagious disease, a fatal epidemic. Forty-six verses in the Bible refer to such diseases from Exodus 9:15 onward. But what’s unique about COVID-19 is that this virus is the first truly worldwide example of what is spoken of in Mathew 24:7. That should catch our attention.

The timing of Christ’s return is divided into perspectives on when the “Rapture,” the catching away of the Church, will take place. The “Great Tribulation” referred to in Matt 24:21 is commonly understood to be a seven-year period of suffering on the earth, intensified in the second half of that time frame. Historically Christians have differed as to the coming of Christ in relationship to the Tribulation — before it happens, in the middle of it, or at the end. Current evangelical Bible scholars generally believe in a pre-tribulation rapture, though that consensus isn’t unanimous.

COVID-19 is a pestilence for certain. It is not what we might call the “great pestilence” of the seven plagues of Rev. 15:6. What we have now is a warning, a foreshadowing, a precursor, a trial run. Birth pangs. It’s a testing of the devil to see how humanity will respond to a pestilence. It’s a scrimmage in anticipation of the real game of life at the end of time. To those who aren’t Christians, and those who are backslidden, it is a warning. The end is near, the rapture is soon, and the coming of Christ is at hand. Get ready, get saved, and get delivered to be prepared for what befalls the human race between now and His return in the clouds of glory.

Coronavirus. Where did it come from? How did it start? The way it metastasizes so quickly—is it a curse to destroy civilization? Does its origin allow demons to kill and destroy? Let me be clear. COVID-19 is a virus. It is a disease. We should do everything possible scientifically to stop its spread and find a cure. To suggest that it was originally spawned because of superstitious beliefs rooted in witchcraft doesn’t negate the fact that it is a real pathogen that can be medically treated. 

Here’s what we do know. This killing disease began in Wuhan, China in so-called “wet markets.” This term refers to open air markets where live caged animals are slaughtered on the spot for customers. This includes dogs, kittens, koalas, lizards, snakes, rabbits, birds, and bats. Especially bats, which some researchers believe were the prime carriers of this virus. The adjective “wet” refers to the brutal killing of these animals, on the spot, in the markets, which results in fresh blood splattered everywhere. The blood is periodically washed away with water, hence the term “wet market.” Wet market animals apparently are carriers of the coronavirus, which can easilty transfer to humans.

An article published in the prestigious British medical journal “Lancet” stated: “Our phylogenetic analysis suggests that bats might be the original host of this virus, an animal sold at the seafood market in Wuhan, and might represent an intermediate host facilitating the emergence of the virus in humans.” Bats have also been medically identified as the possible source of the SARS epidemic in 2017 and the African Ebola plague. 

Why do people in Wuhan eat bats? In Chinese occult, folklore beliefs, bats are thought to be a good omen. Bats are important to the Chinese Taoist belief in the yin (female) and yang (male) of all life. The bat is the male principle and the fruit it pollinates is the female fertility symbol. Ancient Chinese emperors had bats painted on their robes for good luck. In Feng Shui (Chinese divination regarding the physical placement of objects, buildings, and furniture) bats are symbols of wealth. 

A Feng Shui master explains the importance of bats this way: “The bat is sometimes depicted biting a golden coin and this plaque is enhanced by a mystic knot and red tassel. It is hung normally at the main door or any chi (universal life energy) entry points in order to invite wealth, health, good fortune and natural death at a ripe age. The bats can be hung in the West or Northwest to activate luck for important people. You can also place them in your living room, library, reading room, bedroom, kitchen, dining and business premise. Hang them on the outside of your door and window to ward off disease.” 

The path of these occult curses from Chinese wet markets now leads to American cities and hospital ventilator rooms. We need the best medical science available to fight back, and we need prayer to drive out the bat demons whose worship may have started the whole thing in the first place.

America is in a state of inconsistency. How you live from day-to-day during the COVID-19 crisis depends on your locality. Our friends in California are housebound. Here in Arizona, just across the state line, life is reasonably normal, except for the run on paper products. In places such as New York, a full quarantine is in effect. Times Square is empty. Theaters are closed. Restaurants are empty. Across the nation many are quarantined, isolated by government decree or by choice. They are waiting out the passing of the death angel of COVID-19, and most don’t have the blood of the lamb on their doors.

Many are alone, fearful, and panicking. They are looking to the government for a handout, but too few are looking to the Lord for hope and health. For everyone, I have a message: GOD ISN’T QUARANTINED! He isn’t limited by a killer virus. He can’t be told to stay at home. He is an “essential service” that politicians can’t defy. He is needed by the poor and the wealthy, the well and the sick. He is in our midst now to deliver us as individuals and as a nation.

The Lord doesn’t have to stay home, hunkered down with hoarded food and Lysol. He is the Lord of the Universe. As Psalm 66:1-2 says, “Heaven is my throne and earth is my footstool. Where is the house that you will build me? For all these things My hand has made, and all those things exist.”

He wants to heal our land and bless us with the fruits of our labors if we’ll repent of our immorality and arrogance. He isn’t like Amazon Prime or FedEx. He always delivers, on time and with what we need, not what we want. Exodus 34:6-7 declares that the Lord is “merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands.” If you are sequestered, be assured that the Lord is there in the midst of your confinement to comfort and restore you to health. America, God is not quarantined.
