You're the Lord, go ahead and worship him.
Give him praise. Lord, we give you glory and praise this morning. Lord Jesus, we exalt you, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. We worship you today. God, we ask you to reveal yourself to people, Lord, that will be watching and listening all over the place. Those that are here. Holy Spirit, we ask you to continue to lead us and guide us into all truth as we dig into your word, Lord, as we try to navigate the crazy world that we live in and even the crazy church world that we live in. Lord, help us to navigate that and discern that minefield so that we don't fall prey to largest doctrines of demons and seducing spirits and even counterfeit miracles and supernatural manifestations. We don't want to counterfeit, Lord, we want the real. And we know, God, that you have the real to give us. And that's what we seek after. But we're not going to take a shortcut or we're not going to take a shortcut or and we're not going to compromise. We pray this that you give us the grace to not to not be polluted. Or we pray this in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. You may be seen this morning. We welcome everyone to Fire and Grace Church. Those watching listening. Whoo. I don't know where this cold, rainy weather came from. I guess it came from up north. Some Yankee brought it down here, I guess. Tends to be what happens. Hallelujah. Yeah, exactly. Some crazy weather. I want everybody to turn again to Matthew twenty four. I got a lot to share with you this morning. You know, I always think about when we sing one of those songs from the Brownsville revival from Lindell Cooley. I always think about the time that I was there. You know, I started going the revival started on Father's Day of ninety five and I started going at about June or July of ninety six. I think it was somewhere in that time period, about a year after it had been going. Of course, the Internet was just, you know, still AOL dot com and dial up. So if you wanted to load the Web page for the Brownsville revival, you had to wait a while to cheat, right? It just took a minute. And so the news didn't spread real fast until, you know, I think someone from a friend of mine from Pensacola that lived down there brought me the the newspaper from down there and it was talking about the revival. And I was like, huh, I better go see this. And of course, I had heard about Steve Hill before that and actually had heard him preach in Montgomery at Evangel Temple Assembly of God in Montgomery and had his read his book of his testimony, Stone Cold Heart.
I knew he was a real man of God. And so anyway, long story short, a good friend of mine, Montgomery, he ended up going and becoming the children's pastor down at the Brownsville Assembly of God before the revival came. And I remember talking to him and how sick he was of the political, you know, crap within the assemblies of God at the time. And he said, I'm just hungry for revival. And, you know, so God moved him down there about year and a half, two years before the revival broke out. I can tell you this, I've been prayed for and I've met John Kilpatrick, Pastor John, who was the pastor of Brownsville Assembly of God. I've been prayed for by him, by Steve Hill, by Dr. Michael Brown, who was the president of the Brownsville Revival School of Ministry. I can tell you that God was moving in a real and powerful way, especially in the beginning. But like every revival in history, Satan always moves in and infiltrates, and he usually uses the same tactics. And he did it at the Azusa Street revival that started in 1906 that restored the Pentecostal movement again, the baptism of the Holy Spirit with the evidence of tongues, the gifts of healing, all the gifts of the spirit were stirred up in the power of God fell at Azusa Street. There's no question. But why did Azusa Street finally come to an end? Why do revivals come to an end? Well, we know from history now that the spiritist, the occultist came into the Azusa Street revival and began to operate in the counterfeit, demonic supernatural gifts. Can I tell you right now that the devil has his counterfeits. He has his counterfeit tongues. He has counterfeit healings. He has counterfeit words of knowledge or telling you things about yourself that no one should know. The devil can do all that. Now he can't do everything, of course, God can do, but he can do a lot of stuff. And the problem with the Pentecostal charismatic church world is that we have allowed these people to infiltrate our churches and we don't put them in check for the most part. And we discern them sometimes and still don't put them in check. And that was what was bad about the leaders that the Azusa Street revival discerned that some of these people were really witches, occultist enemies of Jesus Christ, enemies of the gospel coming in to pollute, to demonically contaminate God moving. And because the leaders did not stop it, purge those people out of it, it eventually derailed the whole thing.
And that's what happened when Azusa Street ended, it was a mess. I mean, it had been a sovereign, powerful move of God where all races met together. Think about that, blacks and whites together and worshiping together in a church in 1906, that was almost unheard of. I mean, it broke down the racial issues, it broke down all that nonsense because people were hungry for God and people were praying. And if you read Frank Bartleman's account, what an intercessor he was. And there were people who prayed like Seymour who led the revival, he prayed for five hours a day for God to move, he was so hungry for God to move. And then the Lord speaks to him and tells him you need to pray more. These were the kind of people, we're talking about holy people, we're talking about godly people who are hungry for God and God answered their prayers. But the same thing happened in the Welsh revival, 1904 to 1905, did God pour out his spirit and answer to a great season of intercession by Evan Roberts and the young people in Wales and in England at the time, God was moving among young people and there was a hunger for God and there was a hunger for the fullness and power of the Holy Spirit. And boy did God answer. I mean, when Evan Roberts, God gave him, he would spend time in prayer and fasting and studying the word from the time he was like 12 years old. And by the time he was in his early 20s, he was like God gave him a vision of 100,000 people being saved in Wales and he knew God was about to move. So he asked his pastor if they could start having some meetings. And I think the first meeting, 19 people showed up. But within six weeks, the Holy Spirit moved in such power, within six weeks, 10,000 people were saved. The church was filled, people were standing outside the windows and doors. The next six weeks passed, another 10,000 people were born again. We're talking about hardcore, unsaved people, truly converted, brought to repentance from their sins. And he said, but at that time, people were drinking and partying all the time. The cursing was so bad that the mules that they used in the coal mines, when everybody got saved in Wales, they had to retrain the mules because they only understood cuss words, right? God so transformed that area and it is true, within six months, 100,000 people were converted. And the gifts of the Holy Spirit, the services in Wales would go 24 hours a day, seven days a week, whether the leaders were there or not. And God was just moving and people, people would just let the Holy Spirit move. But guess what happened?
The spiritist, the occultist, that we can just say some of them are probably Satanists, began to infiltrate. And Evan Roberts, who was the leader, was young and kind of naive in some areas. And guess what? It brought that to a grinding halt. Brownsville Revival was the same thing. Toward the end, maybe the last couple of years, they started bringing in people that really were polluted and tainted with demonic counterfeits. I saw it happen. I was there, I watched it happen. And you could tell it's gonna end. It's gonna end. And here's what's so sad, you know, there's a lot of people out there that criticize, every time there's a move of God, they criticize everything to the point of, you know, we're just about at the point that obviously, either God moves in it or doesn't move, you know? But what the Lord is showing me and what the Lord is telling me again, and this is why, and I brought it up here, the Lord had me write this book in 2011. We published it in 2012, but it's called the Polluted Church from Rome to Kansas City. And let me tell you whose picture's on here. There's two pictures on the cover. One is the Pope, Pope John Paul II, and the other one is Mike Bickel of IHOP. There's a reason for that. Now, some of you probably don't know what's been going on, but Mike Bickel of IHOP, who's one of the biggest prayer ministries in the world, one of the biggest youth movements in the world, has been found out to be sexually abusing women for decades, using his position of authority, spiritual authority, using prophecy, so-called prophecies to manipulate women, even starting when he was 25 years old, married with little children, pastoring a church. He saw a little 14-year-old girl that he decided he was gonna seduce, got her to babysit his kids, and then started getting along with her as much as possible. She just came out and told the whole story. I listened to it this week. The diabolical manipulation, the way he groomed her psychologically, brought her to the place where he started sexually molesting her, and then convincing her that it was on her, that she had to make sure no one found out because of his great calling. And this went on for decades. There was another girl, 15 years old. Later on in his ministry, of course, many young people went to IHOP because of the 24-hour worship and prayer, because it's gonna be the great move of God.
And what was he doing? In fact, they said there was over 20 women that were on the list, been going on for decades. Now, here's what's amazing, right? Not only was IHOP supposed to be the big charismatic Pentecostal 24-hour day, seven day a week worship and prayer, the place of the Kansas City prophets where the prophetic movement was flowing, where the gifts of prophecy and all that, blah, blah, blah. It was counterfeit prophetic movement from the beginning. It was counterfeit supernatural manifestations from the beginning. And you wanna know why? Because they were really, and I'm gonna just go on and tell you this, I believe now at this point, Mike Bickel was probably more than likely from the get-go, a Roman Catholic infiltrator of the charismatic and Protestant church to bring in the counterfeit supernatural. Now, I know this because the man did nothing but push Roman Catholic mystics like Teresa Vavila, St. John of the Cross, Bernard of Clairvaux, and what did these Roman Catholic mystics, all of them have in common, what did they all do? Number one, they all worshiped Mary and dead saints, which is idolatry. And number two, they all practice repetitious prayer, which is Eastern religion, vain repetitions over and over and over in prayer, and they all practice visualization or what they call imaginative prayer. Now, these have been the practice of the occult, satanic, counterfeit Roman Catholic church that calls itself a church. It's never been the true church of Jesus Christ ever, but these practices have been going on from the beginning, from the beginning of the Roman Catholic church. But let's just pause for a second because I wanna say this, any Christian who bothers to study any little tiny bit of what Roman Catholic teaching puts forth will know that it is a system of idolatry. And this is why the great reformers like Martin Luther and John Wesley later on pointed at the Roman Catholic church and called it the great hoard of mystery Babylon.
They knew what she was. There were people who continued to preach the truth about this great hoard, mystery Babylon, the Roman Catholic church. Like Keith Green, before him Leonard Ravenhill in his book, Why Revival Terries, said that if there was going to be true revival, there would have to be some men of God that would stand up and hit the Roman Catholic church. He said, just level it. He said back then, he said, preachers will get up and rail against communism. He said they need to rail against Popism and Romanism. And boy, his words, he wrote that book, Why Revival Terries in 1959, and it is still ringing true to this day because the man was a prophet, a true prophet. Then you say, why am I going down this road? Because every single time I find one of these counterfeit revival movements that claims to be charismatic and Pentecostal, every single time I find it, I can trace it back to the same suspects and then trace it back to connections to the Roman Catholic church. Mike Bickle even said at a prayer rally put on by Lou Engel, the call, his buddy, 2016, in fact, put that clip up real quick. Angeles, it says at the top. This is from a Roman Catholic publication that interviewed Mike and when he got up, and this is what they said. He was very plain about the fact that he never left the Roman Catholic church and that he pushed Roman Catholic teachings of the Roman Catholic mystics. Here's what he said. And this is, it says, Mike Bickle shared his testimony with the tidings while dodging heavy raindrops by standing under the cover of an outdoor kitchen canopy by the green room tent. He said, quote, this is Mike Bickle, when I was in my 20s and remember, this is when he was molesting a 14-year-old, which is something Roman Catholics are known for, as well as the popes for history. The popes, in fact, many of the popes love to have little 14 to 15-year-old girls on the side. This is a fact of history. So he was just following in the footsteps of his Catholic heroes. He said, but when I was in my 20s, I was asked to pastor a church and I never officially went back to the Catholic church, but I also don't feel like I intentionally left it either. At the House of Prayer, I encourage people to learn the teachings of the Catholic saints as the experts on contemplative prayer, such as Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross, he said, quote, in fact, the idea for 24-hour prayer and musical praise comes from the writings of King David. However, it was first done in the Christian church
by the Catholics. Bickel joyously expressed with his famously contagious grin. Now, he is pushing Roman Catholicism while he's molesting a 14-year-old girl. This is what, this is what, but this is what so many poor, charismatic, Pentecostal young people and even adults were deceived by this man. And this was also supposed to be the place where you had the prophets, the prophetic movement, Bob Jones, Paul Kane, John Paul Jackson. And some of you probably don't know these people, but you need to, you need to understand the history of all this mess that's gone on. And then you think about even now, Rick Joyner and the new guy that's taken over for Rick Joyner, this guy named Chris Reed, who's been at IHOP, he was on this platform, allegedly ministering prophetically, I think he was doing it by looking up people's stuff on their internet. But he's standing there next to Mike Bickel on the stage and this is, he's standing there with a serial adulterer, pedophile, and it's funny how none of these prophets ever figured it out in decades, decades. Let me tell you the first time I ever encountered Mike Bickel. I had a friend that worked at Charisma Magazine way back, good guy, and he invited me, he said, hey, you gotta come down to the Charisma Magazine, the conference we're having in Orlando, you gotta come down, he said, look, I'm gonna get you into the VIP, which I don't think that crap shit ever happened with Christian VIP. There's just too much celebrity worship. But let me tell you, I've been around all of them. I've been around all of them. And I remember, you know, they had the guys who led the Argentine revival where Steve Hill had been for years before he ended up at Brownsville. And I believe the revival in Argentina for about 15 years in the 80s, I believe it was a legitimate and real move of God with Carlos Anacondia, the businessman, wealthy businessman who got saved, got on fire for God, got filled with the Holy Spirit, and he started using his own money to finance, bought him two big old tents, and would go all over Argentina preaching the gospel and casting out demons out of people. I mean, it was legit. In fact, Steve Hill said he'd never seen anything like it. That's what changed his life in regards, after he was saved, you know, he went through David Wilkerson's training school,
you know, Steve Hill said, he said, I saw some great things. He said, but man, when the revival, God poured out his spirit in Argentina, he said it was something special. And then there was a guy there named Claudio Fritzone who actually had, he had, poor guy, he was assembly of God pastor down there in Argentina and pastored a church of seven people for seven years. I think I would have quit. He said a lot of times he looked down and just be a few of his family members there. And he said he was so discouraged. And so many times he said he turned in his resignation and they would say, you can't resign, right? They wouldn't let him resign. And, but he got into those meetings where Carlos Anacondia, true evangelist, true conversions, people truly repenting and getting saved, people getting healed, great miracles were happening that were legitimate. And then when people would manifest demons, they had a tent in the back. They had two tents. They had the preaching salvation tent. And then they had to tent for the people that started manifesting demons. And they'd have a team, take them to the tent in the back and cast the demons out of them. A real, I mean, this was like Philip the Evangelist going to Samaria, okay? And Claudio Fritzone started going to those meetings and got on fire for God and got filled with the Holy Spirit and say, hey, you know what? We need to preach the gospel of repentance like this and cast demons out of folks. So that's what Jesus said to do. He starts doing that. His church goes to 60,000 people. It was a move of God. There was another pastor from Argentina named Pastor Hector. I met him and heard him preach. Pastor Hector would fast two weeks out of every month. And the power of God fell in his church and they led hundreds of thousands of people. It's into the millions of what happened through those guys. So this is who I'm going to hear. And in the midst of all of these kind of guys, I'm listening to preach and share their testimonies. This guy gets up, I'd never heard of before, named Mike Bickle. This is in 1999. And when he gets up to start speaking about, he's going about to start the 24 hour a day, seven day a week worship and prayer ministry. And he's talking about it and he's going on and on. And I'm sitting there going, there is no anointing of the Holy Spirit on this guy at all. Dead as a dead fish out of water, right? And I'm like, why is he here? And I thought, well, you know, I mean, yeah, 24 hour day prayer is a good thing and 24 hour, that's a good thing, but something isn't right. And that was in 1999. I think something wasn't right, but I didn't know what it was. And I just kind of move on from there. And then later on, come around to about 2004, I started attending a church in Montgomery for a little while. That's really hooked up with IHOP, Mike Bickle, this whole group here.
And I remember even after Nancy and I got married and it was in 2000, early 2009, before Faith Marie came along, that we went to Montgomery to this church when they were having a IHOP one thing conference. And I actually knew Stuart Greaves, who was the leader of this conference, but he's one of the leaders at IHOP, that's part of trying to cover all this stuff up and has covered it up for years. But I remember we went to this conference, actually, Nancy and I already had my issues with it, because I'd already started, you know, the Lakeland revival in 2008 made me really start digging into what's really going on in the Charismatic, Pentecostal, Prophetic prayer, what's really going on? So I already had some questions, but we go to this thing and right there talking about 24 hour prayer, 24 hour worship and duh, duh, duh. We're gonna see a great revival, blah, blah, blah, blah, and I'm like, and I'm sitting there the entire day going, there is no anointing or witness of the Holy Spirit on this at all, and I couldn't understand why. I'm like, Lord, I don't, I don't understand how you can have Christians who seem to be sincere talking about wanting to have a prayer movement and lead, you know, and talk about holiness, but we find out none of them were living it. How can this be? And this is what the Lord led me to first, and I know I told you to turn to Matthew 24, but just hold your finger there and go to Isaiah chapter one. I believe the Lord's having me go down this road because we have these, we want revival, and we want God to move, and in fact, the Lord has promised me there will be another revival. In fact, Wednesday night, when we're here praying, we come here and pray on Wednesday nights. Sometimes as we're praying and worshiping the Lord here on Wednesday nights, and it's just a smaller group of us praying, the Holy Spirit usually speaks in some way, prophetically, or through the gift of tongues and interpretation of tongues, but this, but as we were just worshiping at the end, sometimes we worship at the beginning, we pray for a while, then we worship a little more at the end, and I heard the Lord say to me very clearly, he said, stay the course. He said, and I will bring true revival, true revival. And I knew exactly what he meant because I've seen the counterfeit revival.
Oh, Lord, have I seen it. I call them Pentecostal pep rallies, but they're really polluted. They're contaminated. This is what happened to the Toronto, I believe the Toronto revival started with genuine hearts for God wanting God. You see, this is what's so bad about this is a lot of these things, just like King Saul, they start out right, humble, hungry for God, repenting of things, renewing commitments, renewing prayer life, renewing holy living and obedience to God, to his word and to his spirit. And all of those things are good. And then Satan starts sending his folks in. And if the leaders do not discern it and deal with it, or if they compromise in any way, it opens the door for the mixture. And can I just go ahead and tell you that the moment you mix sewer water with pure water, what happens? It's all sewer water at that point. Now, sometimes in spite of all that, God will touch somebody because somebody comes there and they don't know about all this stuff and they're just hungry for God and he moves in their lives. It's not because of what's going on on the platform or who's there. And this is what's so confusing for us sometimes. And say, well, people got saved there or people got healed there and really got healed or really got touched by God. And you're telling me, but all this crazy stuff was going on? Oh yeah. Sometimes God will move. I mean, it's just like how, you can't have a more polluted church than the Roman Catholic Church. Okay. I'm sorry, but I know that hurts people's feelings, but I don't care. It's the truth. They teach you to pray to Mary. They teach people that they have to go through Mary to get to Jesus. They teach people that they have to go through their sacramental system, that they can turn the cookie and the wine into the real blood and body of Jesus and that that can be worshiped and they bow before statues and worship before statues and they worship Mary. They say, oh, we don't worship Mary. We venerate her. Venerate and worship are the same words. They got songs they sang that praise Mary. And I'm sorry, there's nowhere in the Bible that it tells us to pray to another human being that lived here on the earth. They made her, you know, the Roman Catholic Church made her said she was without sin. No, the Bible says all have sinned and come short of the glory of God. There was only one who lived as a human being and lived a sinless life and that was Jesus Christ.
But the Pope just declared, one Pope finally declared, she was without sin. So they turned her into a goddess, which is why they call her the Queen of Heaven and they call her the Roman Catholic Church, the co-redeemer and the co-mediator. The Bible says that Jesus is our mediator, that there's one mediator between God and man and that is the man Christ Jesus. There's not two mediators. If you pray to Mary, if you worship Mary, venerate Mary, honor Mary, if you pray to dead saints, if you bow before statues, if you worship a cookie in a sunburst, you are committing the sin of idolatry. And the Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10 that if you are committing the sin of idolatry, he says the idol's not anything, but it's the demons behind the idol and when you commit the sin of idolatry, you are having fellowship with demons. So the moment you commit the sin of idolatry, the door is opened into your life to demon spirits. This is why you cannot partake in Roman Catholic mass, Roman Catholic communion. You can't go in there and bow to their statues and pray the rosary, their repetitious prayers and everything else. Most of what's in Catholicism is borrowed from paganism. It's borrowed from Eastern religions like Buddhism and Hinduism. The rosary beads come from Buddhist monks. That's where they got it from because there were Buddhist monk missionaries in the deserts of Egypt and Alexandria in that area all the way back into like 200 AD. And then there were these people who got a little bit of Christianity in them but wanted to be these hermit monk type people. So they got indoctrinated with a little Christianity and a little Buddhism. That is what became the Roman Catholic church, the desert fathers. Look it up. Again, all of this I cover in the polluted church in great detail, the history and the spiritual history of the Roman Catholic church. But why did I do that? Because she is, let me just go and tell you, this church is mystery Babylon. She is the great harlot. She is the mother of abominations. Her cup is full of idolatry. I'll show you that in a second. But this is what the Lord gave me about the so-called prayer movement of IHOP in 2009. Let me read it to you. This is Isaiah chapter one. And I remember when I read this, I was like, oh my goodness, this is it. And he says this, let's just look at,
we'll start at verse 10. He says, hear the word of the Lord, you rulers of Sodom, and give ear unto the law of our God, you people of Gomorrah. And he's talking to the people of God here. He's calling, he's using Sodom and Gomorrah as like you're just full of sexual sin and immorality. And this is the, I hate to say this, but the majority of the charismatic church world has no self-control or holiness when it comes to sexual sin. But I'm gonna tell you why. Because the moment you open the door to idolatry or you compromise with the great whore of Rome, you have not only opened the door to idolatry, but you have opened the door to their sexual perversion spirits as well. This is why every single time I find one of these leaders who compromises with Rome, they end up in sexual immorality. Because the word, even the word we're gonna see in a minute, the word idolatry there that talks about when it says that she has foreign, she's committed fornication with the kings of the earth and she has a cup full of fornication. The word fornication, pornea, is not just a reference to sexual sins. It is, it encompasses all sexual sin outside of man and a woman in marriage. But the word also, if you look it up in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, the word idolatry there, I mean fornication, also means spiritual idolatry, spiritual adultery. And that is when you commit the sin of idolatry. Now he says, let's keep going, he says, to what purpose is the multitude of your sacrifices unto me, saith the Lord. I am full of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beasts. I delight not in the blood of bullocks or of lambs or of goats. So basically, he's talking to his people. The sacrifice is that he had ordained, he said, I'm sick of them. Sick of what you, I don't even want you doing them. He says, when you come to appear before me, who has required this at your hand to tread my courts? Bring no more vain oblations. Incense is an abomination unto me. The new moons and Sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with it. It is iniquity, even the solemn meeting. Your new moons and your appointed feasts, your conferences, my soul hated. They are a trouble unto me. I am weary to bear them. And when you spread forth your hands, I will hide my eyes from you. Yea, when you make many prayers, I will not hear, your hands are full of blood. Now, I want to jump over to chapter two, and I want to say, because remember, when he wrote this, there were chapters. This is a continued thought, but I want to jump over to chapter two, because I want to tell you, he tells you what they're doing. In verse, jump down to verse five. Isaiah 2.5, he says, old house of Jacob, come ye and let us walk in the light of the Lord. And then Isaiah just goes, he realizes,
God has like turned his back on his people, and he says, therefore thou has forsaken thy people, the house of Jacob, why? Because they be replenished, satisfied, filled is what that word means, from the east, and are soothsayers like the Philistines, and please themselves and the children of strangers. God says, I've had to turn my back on my people because they get their spiritual satisfaction and fulfillment from the east. The practices of eastern religions, repetitive prayer, visualization. These are the practices of the east, Buddhism, Hinduism. And then he says, because of that, because they open the door through these practices, repetitious prayers, satanic meditation, which is the whole blanking out your mind, or visualizing things that you want to come to pass. This crept into the church, and I say the true church, it crept in. A long time ago. But he says, you do these things, you've become soothsayers like the Philistines. You operate in a supernatural fortune telling divination spirit, but the Lord's not there. And it's, to tell you the truth, it's kind of sad how bad it has become. And this is what the Lord gave me several years ago when he told me to write the polluted church from Rome to Kansas City. Oh, I got, I caught some hail from some folks. How dare I bring up Kansas City? How dare I talk about the great prophetic movement, the great prayer movement, the great, it's how dare you call out names? How dare I put their own teachings in there from their sermons and books and show how their Eastern mysticism and not true Christianity? How dare I? Here's what's so wild though. We look at 12 years later, who was right? And let me just go on and tell you, it wasn't because I had to have some big encounter with the Lord. I just knew, I know what Rome is. I know what the Roman Catholic Church is. And if I see you teaching their doctrines and pushing their saints and their mystics and their occult practices, I know what the end result is going to be. It's going to be a disaster.
And it is there to discourage and embarrass the body of Christ and to make the charismatic and Pentecostal branch of the church look foolish, look inconsistent. Now, let me just say this. I still believe that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today, all the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Tongues, interpretation of tongues, prophecy, words of knowledge, supernatural revelation about past events or present events. The word of wisdom, supernatural knowledge given about God's will in the future. I believe in the gifts of healing and working of miracles, discerning of spirits. I believe I've operated in those gifts at different seasons and different times. I have no control over them, but they don't come through me visualizing, creating imaginations in my mind, or sitting for five hours like Mike Bickel Oh, Mike Bickel is such a holy man. He prays for five and six hours. Yeah, he sits there and says, Jesus, you are beautiful. Jesus, you are beautiful. Jesus, you are beautiful. Jesus, he does that for six hours. And until he has a supernatural experience, but that supernatural experience is not Jesus because Jesus said, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. Jesus taught this in Matthew six very plainly. Don't do it, because when you do it, you open the door for the demonic, the counterfeit. And let me just go on and tell you, it opens the door for what the Eastern religion people, the Buddhist and the Hindus call the kundalini awakening, the third eye opening. Oh, you will have, you will see things. You will see things in the spirit. And what's so funny is if you read the stories of people who have, they will talk about the symptoms of kundalini awakening, involuntary jerks and movement, feelings of intense heat, sometimes uncontrollable jerking, like that crazy prophet guy we saw in here. What was his name? I can't even remember the crazy, yeah, that kind of stuff. But see, here's what's so bad. So many within the Pentecostal and Charismatic church world has attributed that kundalini awakening and manifestations and saying, that's the Holy Spirit moving. No, it is not. And here's what's so bad. It has, this thing has polluted the church world for decades upon decades now. Nancy had a guy, I remember she talks about her church
that she grew up in, had been at one point a good church, a good Charismatic Pentecostal, God moving, people getting healed. She got healed powerfully when she was a child there. And then this guy comes in, this visiting preacher. Clearly, he'd been to some of these meetings where he had picked up this kundalini spirit. And the word kundalini means serpent power, by the way. Tells you right where it is, right? But he starts laying hands on people. Now, my wife was, how old were you then? Teenager? She was a teenager, had enough sense to know. She had enough discernment then to know because she was baptized in the Holy Spirit as a child. She knew it wasn't right, something was wrong. She wouldn't let him pray for her. But a bunch of people went down. Oh, and they got something all right. And if you look at what happened over the next few years in that church, the sexual immorality, oh, I mean, the worship leader ends up running off, the male worship leader ends off running off with another man. The teenagers all in sexual sin, a disaster. And everybody thinks that was a move of God. No, it wasn't. And it so troubles me because I want to see God's people blessed with the real thing. Because I have been blessed since I was 19 and got baptized and filled with the Holy Spirit and the gift of tongues, I have been blessed to see and experience and walk with Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit. I've had the real thing. I know what the real thing is. I'm so sick and tired of seeing the counterfeit and seeing so many of God's people who are sincere running after it. How many people didn't even, just ran after Rick Joyner and Bob Jones and Paul Kane and had no idea, Bob Jones and Paul Kane, the so-called fathers of the prophetic movement, they didn't father anything. Can I just go and tell you the prophetic movement restarted really, really God's never quit talking to his people and revealing things to his people. I mean, Evan Roberts, before he was baptized in the Holy Spirit, God is showing him a vision of 100,000 people getting saved and giving him a word. The gifts will move, God will move.
They weren't the fathers of anything, but that's what, and I'm gonna show you. There's a new prophet, a new flavor of the month. That's, I think he may be sincere, but again, who's he following? Who's he connected with? What's he putting forth? I'm gonna show you, it's quite astounding. And I have to do this stuff. And let me just go and say, 1 Corinthians 14 says this very plainly. Let the prophets speak. Let the others judge. You can put that verse up for them. Oh, let them speak. Prophets speak, speak, speak, speak, speak, speak, all you want, but guess what? There's those of us, others of us that get to judge, whether it's a word from the Lord or not, or whether you are polluting the church with some counterfeit or it's real. Y'all see it? Y'all find it? 1 Corinthians 14, I think round verse 29, somewhere down there. Let the prophets speak two or three. Let the others judge, all right? So let's do that. I'm gonna show you a prophecy. Let's put the Jeremiah Johnson IHOP KC prophecy up, okay? And I know some people are gonna have your feelings hurt, but I'm just gonna go ahead and hurt them, all right? I'm gonna read the prophecy, and then I'm gonna judge it, right in front of everybody, all right? Because thousands and thousands of people have read this. So here's Jeremiah Johnson who claims to be a prophet, and I'm not, and maybe he is. I don't know the guy, I never met the guy. But he says that he had a prophetic dream, November 9th, 2023, right? So this is, I guess around the time, right? He had the dream, I don't know. Anyway, we'll read it in a second, but about what's happening at the IHOP KC, Kansas City, exposure in the awakening. All right, so let's read it. Let's go through it. He says, receive November 9th, 2023 by Jeremiah Johnson. He says, the IHOP KC exposure in the awakening. He said, I entered into what looked like the Vatican. Now, just remember this, pay attention. I entered into what looked like the Vatican in Rome, and I was told I was going to meet the Pope. He had a crown on his head, but he had a crown on, but his head was lowered, and he was sobbing, so I could not see his face. I was very alarmed, but was told I must approach him immediately.
As I drew near, the Pope lifted up his head into my shock, it was Mike Bickle. Let me go and tell you right now. I'm not shocked, because who did I have on the cover of this book in 2012? Mike Bickle and the Pope, but it ain't a good reference. Okay, and why is he depicted as the Pope? I'm gonna tell you, because he is so connected to the Roman Catholic Church and their teachings, I believe he's probably a plant by them from early on. But here we go, he says, as I drew near, the Pope lifted up his head into my shock, it was Mike Bickle. The pain and grief in his face was indescribable. As I locked eyes with him, I began to prophesy to him in the dream. Mike, you are being exposed. You must kneel and not rise, and the Lord will forgive you. Now, let me tell you, you must repent in dust and ashes, and not just for all the women that he is molested and lured and seduced from 14 and 15 years old and 19 years old, but for all the faults teaching he has done for decades, pushing Roman Catholic mysticism. He says, your crown is being taken, and will be divided up into different parts of the earth. Now, a Roman Catholic crown, a Pope crown? Well, he's right about this, but it's not good. He said it would be divided up into different parts of the earth. I knew the crown represented authority and favor with God and man. No, it doesn't. It represents the pollution of Roman Catholicism being spread in the New Testament church. He said, I continue to prophesy. Satan believes he will wipe out the prayer movement by unseating you, but he does not understand that the diaspora, which means the spreading of the movement is coming. Let me tell you, if any further spreading of this movement comes, it is not the Holy Spirit. Actually, the Holy Spirit exposing all this, he's trying to put a stop to it. He's trying to wake up his people to recognize what is a true prayer movement and what is a counterfeit one. And it's obvious that all their prayers, their 24-hour day prayer and worship gave them no power to be holy and live holy and live free from demons and sexual immorality. He goes on to say, the fires of intercession are going to now spread all across the earth like never before. The light in Kansas City will now begin to flicker, but it must so, but other regions in the earth, so that other regions in the earth
may burn brighter than ever before. I want to tell you right now, I'm going to get and tell you that the so-called movement in Kansas City was never a light. It was never a true prayer movement. It was never a true revival. It was never a true prophetic movement. It was counterfeit from the get-go and it has spread and polluted the church wherever it has gone. So this whole thing right here, I don't know where this prophecy came from, but it didn't come from the Holy Spirit, I assure you. Now let's keep going. He talks about this crown. He says, suddenly an earthquake hit the Vatican and everything began to shake. Yeah, it's going to. It's called mystery Babylon is being destroyed, will be destroyed in one hour. The great city that sits on seven hills, one hour. He said it was terrifying. Yeah, it's going to be. He said, Mike hit the floor and I ran out of the room. I had this sense in the dream that his salvation and heavenly treasure was secure, but that he was being stripped of his crown authority in the earth to spiritually govern in the years ahead. No, no. The man has been a habitual, serial, pedophile, adulterer, and false prophet and false teacher, unless he repents of all of that. Don't say his salvation is secure. You don't know that, chief. Right now, it's not. There's no such thing as unless you believe once saved, always saved, no matter how you live. And that's another error. He said, I made it out to the street and realized I had a long robe on, kind of looking like a priest, maybe. I reached inside the pockets and found several pieces of the golden crown that Mike had on with jewels on them. Each piece had a name inscribed on it, and I jumped on a horse, and I knew I must deliver the five pieces. He said, I took one to Corey Russell, who this guy had been, I think, one of the youth leaders in IHOP and had left. And I told him he had been given authority to raise up intercessors for revival in Israel. I took one to Lee Cummings in Michigan and told him that he had authority to convert through intercession the sons of Ishmael, who I knew were not only Arab people, but also Charismatics who divorced the word from the Spirit. This is just the third one I gave to Brian Williams in Ohio, told him that he was given authority to impact the government through intercession and birth and send end time missionaries to the ends of the earth.
With the fourth one, I sent it to the people of Asia, knew it was given to many men and women who had the mandate to pray for the salvation of Israel. The authority of the fourth crown was too large for one man. It was for an entire people group, the final crown I took to Florida. I went to the House of Allen Hood, another one of the leaders that had been in IHOP for years. He said, I knocked on the door. I knew he was inside, but he could not answer the door. I realized it was unlocked and went inside. When he saw me, he acted like he knew I was coming. He walked toward me, but his hip had been severely displaced. I was startled because he was limping so bad, but I knew he had been touched by heaven like Jacob. I said to him, Allen, this last piece is different. I do not have a crown for you. What God has for you is a book. And then he said, I reached in my pocket and pulled it out and said, it's the Book of Remembrance from Malachi 3 16 through 18. You are called together families and living rooms and dining room tables and teach them to fear the Lord. This burden will be greater than the burden to call them to prayer like those who have the other crowns. Allen began to weep and then he began to rejoice. He looked at me and said, I'm going to give the rest of my days to Zachariah two and three. With that, he went back to his study and when I knocked on the door, knocked on the door and left, then I woke up. Okay, there's nothing good about the pieces of this crown from the Pope or Mike Bickle. I remember I talked about this. I talk about this in the book and in the series I did on deliverance about the cursed objects. A lot of people don't remember this, King David right before he ends up in his sin of adultery and killing Uriah, one of the most grievous, horrible things that he ever did. People miss this little thing that happened first because he says when the kings were supposed to be at battle, David stayed home. Well, when they went to battle, Joab and his mighty men, they defeated the King of Ammon. The King of Ammon, Ammon was the incestuous son from Lot and his daughters and the people of Ammon and Moab had always been because of that generational curse upon them. It had always been sexual perverts deviates and always sexual issues were strong. Well, King David, when they bring the crown of the King of Ammon, he places it on his head. Big mistake. Deuteronomy seven is pretty clear. It says that if you take the accursed thing unto you, you become an accursed thing like it. What is an accursed thing? An accursed thing like that crown of the King of Ammon. It's not just because it had been on the head of the King of Ammon, it's because of the demonic powers that back it up. And you can only imagine what the crown could have had
symbols of their gods or their religion. We don't know. But David should have known better than to place the crown of that corrupt, polluted King of Ammon upon his own head. The moment he did that, that compromise, that touching the unclean thing opened the door for the demonic to come in and he could not resist the temptation to fall in adultery and commit murder. This is what I wanna tell you right now. We have enough battle as Christians with the flesh. I'm talking about probably the biggest strong, especially for men, but also for women too, but men in particular have a, I guess you would say a proclivity, a tendency, a push that's in us because of the sin nature toward sexual lust and sin. I'm the best of us, the best Christians, the strongest Christians struggle with that because the mind, the devil attacks the mind with images and pictures and thoughts of things and the flesh, it only takes a little bit of that in the mind to stir up the flesh. And I'm talking about the sexual lust. And that's why if a Christian's not being very disciplined and casting down imaginations and binding and resisting the demons attacking their mind and just allow that to ruminate in there, some old pastor used to say, you can't control what bird flies over your head, but you can keep them building a nest in your hair, right? But see, a lot of Christians just let the devil build a nest in their head and they end up, listen, I'm telling you, there's more sexual sin in the church than you can even imagine. Foreignication, adultery, homosexuality, bestiality, but really where the big stronghold is now is the pornography because it's so easily available everywhere. I mean, back in the day when I was a kid, if you didn't find some hidden in some drawer of some adult, you couldn't find it, you know? But now if a kid can pick up somebody's phone and pull up the most horrific sexual images that you can imagine. And because of that, because some of us were exposed to that when we were very young, it actually put in us even a bigger stronghold and trigger toward sexual lust. This is why deliverance after you're saved, deliverance from the demonic strongholds from your past are so vitally important to deal with. But even if you go through thorough deliverance, getting rid of all the demonic strongholds from your childhood on up, you're still as a Christian
going to struggle with the flesh and sexual temptation. And this is where if you're not on top of it, if you're not serious Christian, if you're not a fighter, you're gonna lose this battle. You have to be serious about, I am gonna live a holy life for Jesus and I'm gonna fight this. I'm not gonna let my flesh control me. I'm not gonna let the devil take me down that road. And let me tell you real, if you do trip up and fall, you better not stay there and wallow in it and just say, well, what's the use? I might as well just keep doing it because I can't stop. You better hate it. You better repent. You better get up out of that pig pen, out of that mud hole and walk back to the father's house. You better fight this demon because let me tell you if you don't, if you don't get control of the area of sexual lust and sexual sin, you will not go to heaven. This is one of those serious issues. No fornicator, no adulterer is gonna inherit the kingdom of God. It's that simple. Say, Pastor Dean, but I can't, yes you can. You may fight it until your last breath or until Jesus comes, but you best be fighting it. You can't make peace with it. I tell people all the time, it's like a rattlesnake. You kill that thing. You get it out of your life. You get it out of your house, get it out of your car because if you keep playing with a little rattlesnake, what's gonna happen? So many people are trapped by this. Let me tell you right now, if you go to one of these churches that are polluted or you let one of these people who have been polluted by this Roman Catholic harlot whore of Babylon idolatry, it's gonna open the door to a flood of this stuff. And I said this in the book, I talk about how Bob Jones, the prophet, he was a sexual deviant. He was, and Bickel says he was part of starting Kansas City. The whole thing, the whole movement. It was Bob Jones prophecies and Bob Jones this and Bob Jones and Paul Kane. Paul Kane who was mentored by William Branham who William Branham, a lot of people think William Branham was a prophet. No, he was a false prophet. He was trained and mentored by the head of the Ku Klux Klan. William Branham, I believe was a government plant. He was in with the Ku Klux Klan. He, William Branham trained Jim Jones and mentored Jim Jones.
And what was Jim Jones all about? Counterfeit miracles and led people into error. And of course, everybody knows what happened. But it is also known that Jim Jones was a Jesuit agent. Can I tell you that the Roman Catholic Church and their assassin spies and infiltrators called the Jesuits have been sending people out to infiltrate especially the charismatic and Pentecostal arm of the church. We're talking about going back to the 30s and the 40s and really kicked in in the 60s and the 70s. You say, why, why, why particularly the care? Because guess what? If you go back and you look since the Azusa Street revival in 1906, the Pentecostal charismatic arm of the church, I'm not talking about, we're the only part of the church, but that arm of the church has been the fastest growing and the most effective in evangelism especially throughout Africa and Central America and South America. And in fact, the Catholic Church hates the Pentecostals in Central American South. They hate it because they lose so many Catholics to true Christianity there. At times they have been at war. In fact, Pope Francis, before he was Pope, he was a Bishop down in, what was it, Argentina. I was Argentina and Brazil, I can't remember. But he worked with the leader, a communist leader there, and they did a number on a bunch of true Christians, putting them in prison, killing them, torturing. That's why I'm like, oh well, he's a good choice for the next Pope. Francis, the first Jesuit Pope, isn't that interesting? You think that's an accident? He has said stuff, it's unreal. Let's go to, I'm gonna show you this. Let's go to, just so you know for sure, put up the Whore of Babylon. You know, I did an interview this past week, I think some of you heard it, because there's a big push out there in the world that the United States is mystery Babylon. That is, I believe that's put out by the Roman Catholic Church to divert attention away from who the real Whore is. She's always been trying to deflect attention away from herself. And boy, I have been preaching and exposing the Roman Catholic Church since day one, when I came back to the Lord in 1987.
God began to show me immediately what I was dealing with and that I had to confront it. Let's look at, let's just keep going through this here. Do I need to click my controller on, or can I? All right, cause I'm gonna skip through some of this quickly here. And there she is, of course. Yeah, some of this is just some history. But let's read this. Revelation 17, we'll start there. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials and talked to me saying, come hither and I will show the judgment of the great horde that sitteth upon many waters with whom the kings of the earth had committed fornication. And remember the word fornication is obviously not talking about kings committing sexual sin with a city. So we know it means we put the idolatry in there. He said in the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her idolatry. And she is very influential and powerful. There's over a billion Catholics in the world. And so he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness and I saw a woman sit on a scarlet colored beast full of the names of blasphemy, having seven heads and 10 horns. Now let's remember, the woman is not the beast. The beast is the political system that's coming. The United Nations will morph into a seven head, 10 horned beast and in fact, they already have the seven heads and the 10 horns. You all know that? You have the five permanent members of the Security Council. They've added Germany back in. So that's called P5 plus one, that makes six. And when they have a serious issue, they bring in the head of the European Union which makes seven. And then underneath them, the rotating members, there's a council of 10 nations. So they're already the seven head. They just haven't come into full power yet. But the woman is not the beast. She rides the beast. She, it's interesting. Well, when you ride something, you kind of what? Steer it a little bit, but are you really, look, are you really in control of that horse? Nah, that horse much stronger than you. If it decides that you're getting off of it, trust me. I know, you're being tossed off of it, right? She rides the beast for a while until the beast gets tired of her, finished with her, but they work together. So both of these represent massive institutions that will control and influence the entire world. And that's what this is talking about. The kings of the earth and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk. And then he gives us a clue here, another clue. He says, the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls and having a golden cup in her hand full of the abominations and filthiness of her fornication or her idolatry, okay?
And upon her forehead was the name written, mystery Babylon the Great, the mother of harlots, meaning she produces harlots and abominations of the earth. Now let's go here. I saw the woman also drunken with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. And when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration and the angel said unto me, wherefore did thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carrieth her which hath the seven heads and the 10 horns. And then he talks about the beast and that's not going to push that. But then he says in verse nine, here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman sits. These shall make war, meaning the beast and this woman, these shall make war with the lamb. The lamb is Jesus Christ. And the lamb shall overcome them for he is Lord of lords and King of kings and they that are with him are called and chosen and faithful. And he sayeth unto me, the waters which thou saw us where the horse sitteth are peoples and multitudes, nations and tongues. And the 10 horns which you saw upon the beast, these shall hate the whore and shall make her desolate and shall eat her flesh and burn her with fire for God has put it in their hearts to fulfill his will and to agree and to give their kingdom unto the beast until the words of God shall be fulfilled. Remember, so he's talking about this will come to pass when the words of God are fulfilled. That means all the way to the end of the age of the second coming. The woman which thou saw us, he says is present tense Greek verb, which means what? Ongoing continuous action, but taking place in the present, he says is that great city which reigneth, the word reigneth is a present tense Greek verb as well, which means ongoing continuous action taking place in the present. So when John wrote this in AD 95 or 96, who's he talking about? What great city was reigning over the kings of the earth? Rome, Rome. So he's giving all the hints here that you will ever need. Now let's look at some of this, we see, right? Even the Catholic apologists, meaning a true Catholic, Carl Keating admits that Rome has long been known as Babylon. Keating claims that Peter's statement, the church here in Babylon sends her greetings, I send you her greetings, proves that Peter was writing from Rome. He says Babylon is a codeword from Rome. So even Catholics admit this, that Babylon was a codeword in the New Testament church, it's in Peter, that Babylon was a codeword for Rome. And he says, Eusebess, which is the church historian had put it all together for us and kept it. Writing about 303, right before the Catholic, the Rome became the Catholic church, the Roman government switched robes and became the religious establishment. Eusebess says here that he noted that it was said
that Peter's first epistle was composed at Rome itself, that he might himself indicates this, referring to the city figuratively as Babylon. You think that the apostle John was familiar with Peter and the New Testament church is codeword for Rome as Babylon? Now this is in your Bible and this is in church history. Why would we say anything else? Why would we make it America? It doesn't even make sense. And of course, as for the term mystery that's imprinted on the woman's forehead, this is a perfect designation for Vatican city. Mystery is at the very heart of Roman Catholicism from the words, Mysterium, Fidey, pronoun, pronounced at the alleged transformation of the bread and the wine into the literal body and blood, to the enigmatic apparitions of Mary around the world, every sacrament baptism to extreme unction manifest the mysterious power which the faithful must believe the priest willed, but for which there is no visible evidence. Rome's new catechism explains the liturgy aims to initiate souls into the mystery of Christ. So it's all that mystery, I could just, you could spend all day on that. But he says that this woman is what? Seven heads or seven mountains in which the woman sits and here it is. There's a more interpretative, Rome is known as the city on seven hills. The Vatican sits on one side of the Tyber River facing the seven hills and he just goes down. He gives us. So she was arrayed or clothed in purple and scarlet. We'll get to that in a second. Decked with gold, precious stones and pearls, having a golden company or filthiness of her fornication or idolatry. She's the mother of harlots and abominations. She was drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus. And let me just go and say, this cannot be America. America is not known for killing Christians for centuries. Okay? There's one entity that's been killing Christians since the first century. And it's the Roman government that became the Roman Catholic Church. And both the Roman government and then the Roman Catholic Church have been killing true Christians, Anabaptists, Protestants for centuries, hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of years. They were massacring Christians in 1000 AD, 1200 AD, 13. I mean, they were massacred. They would go into towns in France and just massacre every Protestant Christian that was there. Torture the inquisitions. The Spanish Inquisition killed upwards of 3 million people they killed and tortured. The Roman Catholic Church did. No, it's not America that's drunk with the blood of the saints and the martyrs of Jesus. It is Rome. In fact, he says in Revelation 18 that when God does judge her,
he uses the beast to judge her, that he is avenging his apostles and prophets because they killed the apostles, the Roman government did. Says she is a great city on seven hills which rains or has rained over the kings of the earth. Everybody see that? The colors of the Cardinals. Remember it says she's arrayed in scarlet and purple. There it is. The two ruling parties within the Catholic Church, the bishops wear purple, the Cardinals wear red. Purple and scarlet are the primary colors. In fact, even the popes wore scarlet red until the reformation period and they changed to white. I believe that has to do with God revealing them as part of the white horses as well, as part of the conquering of the earth into a world government. It says that she was encrusted with jewels and crowds. Here's one of those crowns he saw, one of the Pope crowns that Jeremiah Johnson saw. These are crusted with jewels, precious stones. They're some of the most expensive crowns that's ever been made. Every descriptor in Revelation 17 describes the Roman Catholic Church. I went too far. The golden cup of abominations, you see that chalice? 500 diamonds encrust this golden chalice. It's a gift from Sultan Abdul Madish for Pope Pius the 9th election and the first used by Pope Pius the 9th on December 8th, 1854 at the Mass proclaiming the Immaculate Conception of Mary. Why would the Pope wanna use an Islamic gift? Because they're gonna work together in the last days, but that's another sermon. Pope John Paul, the second dressed in purple, holds a golden cup during the Papal Apology Mass on March 12, 2000. Some of the Cardinals in attendance were both prophetic colors, purple and scarlet. But the cup here, this is the cup of their idolatry, their fornication. It's a literal cup, y'all. And then, of course, if that's not enough, the symbol of the Catholic Church is a woman, Fides. It left as Fides the Catholic faith holding the golden cup of the Mass portrayed by Lorenzo Sabatini and his assistance from 1573 to 1576 on the vault of the first Sala de Foconi or whatever, the Vatican. So there's the woman with the cup in her hand. That's in the Vatican. Do they have to show you anything else? Do they need to show you anything else? Not really. And then these are some of the stuff that goes on. I'm not gonna go through all this. But here's where they allow me to praise the O Sacred Virgin.
Against thine enemies give me strength. And then he says, grant unto us, O merciful, a defense against our weakness that we who remember the Holy Mother of God by the help of her intercession may rise from our iniquities. No, Mary is not helping you rise from your iniquities. They give credit to Mary all the time. Look at what they say right here. Rejoice, O glorious, lovely beyond all others. Welcome, O Queen of Heaven, they say. I mean, these are Roman Catholic prayers I pulled right off their website. Look at this, that through the intercession of the Virgin Mary, His mother, we may obtain the joys of everlasting life. What? No, it's through Jesus Christ and Jesus alone, not Mary. I could go on, hell, whole. Look at this, hell is a term of worship. Hell, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in the valley of tears. Turn then, most gracious advocate. Jesus is our advocate, according to 1 John, not Mary. This is idolatry. And here's the Pope's bowing the statues of Mary, leading thousands. They burn incense in front of her, they bow to her, they kiss her, they worship pictures of her and statues of her. This is the sin of idolatry. This is the breaking of the Second Commandment, that by the way, the Roman Catholic Church version of the Bible takes out that out of Exodus 20. They have their own little corrupted version of the Ten Commandments. But there you go, do you see people kneeling before statues of the Pope, statues of Mary? In fact, I found yesterday, I didn't have time to deal with all this, but I found yesterday where the Popes now will grant, what do they call it? Penance for anybody who goes to a shrine to worship Mary. I mean, I've got it in their official documents. So they worship Mary, and here we go, of course, March 20, 2005, cover of Time Magazine. Catholics have long revered her, but now Protestants are finding their own reasons to celebrate the mother of Jesus. And then it says, the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. Now, I wanna go to something, I want you to, you can turn this off, and I wanna go to 2 Corinthians, chapter six. And I know I gotta hurry, I gotta get done here. I'm not gonna make it a two hour one, hopefully. But I want you to see, don't be deceived. There's so many ticky-tock preachers that are trying to put out new doctrines. The United States is not Mystery Babylon, the harlot, the great whore. In fact, I don't have time to develop it today, but when it talks about she's the mother of harlots,
I have the documentation, the proof, the evidence over history, that she is the founder of communism. She backed Hitler, and basically allowed and promoted the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. She was actually the creator of Islam. Muhammad's first wife, Khadija, and her cousin, Warakah, the priest, was a Roman Catholic priest, and she was a nun. And they recruited him to bring the Arab people under the Roman Catholic Church. But he decided, he rebelled a little bit and created his own religion. But they're still gonna use the Muslims as their foot soldiers against Christians as they have for a long time, but they're gonna use them again here in the end as well. That's why you're seeing a unification between the Roman Catholic Church and Islam now. The iron and the clay are mixing together. And yes, the iron is Rome. The Roman power and the clay is the Arabs. And actually the word, when it says they are mixed there in Daniel 2, the word is Arab in the Aramaic. Because Arab, and actually the definition of the word Arab means mixed. So they were literally says, the iron and the clay are Arabed together. All right? And notice it says that they will, the iron and the clay, that last kingdom, iron and clay, the feet with the 10 toes, he said they will be together, but it will not work. Yeah, because there's gonna be a clash between them. See, what's gonna happen is, I believe the Antichrist will be a Muslim because he'll have to be for two billion Muslims to accept a man as the Imam Mahdi, which they will have to accept him as that. He will have to be a man, a direct descendant of Muhammad. And what's gonna happen is that the Antichrist, the Muslim Antichrist and the false prophet, final pope will work together until God puts it in the heart and allows the Antichrist, the beast, to destroy the whore. And why would Islam want to destroy the Roman Catholic Church? A little thing called the Crusades that they want revenge for. And they're gonna get it, okay? Because the Crusades were wicked, all right? Now, I said 2 Corinthians, I'm sorry, I need to turn there. We're actually bringing this in for a landing. The Roman Catholic Church is an unclean thing, and it always has been. And this is the word, I need to sear this as we turn into 2 Corinthians 6. But the reason the Lord had me go down, I was praying yesterday, and as I was praying in the spirit and asking God what he wanted to do today, he just told me to tell his people, he said, as he said in Revelation 18 about this mystery whore, Babylon, he said, come out of her, my people. And this is what I heard the Lord say to me yesterday,
tell my people, come out of her. Well, it's not just come out of the Roman Catholic Church, come out of any church that's compromising with Rome. If your pastor doesn't have a problem with Roman Catholic priests and nuns and Roman Catholic doctrine, you need to run. Because they have become a branch of the whore. Kenneth Copeland, Bill Johnson, Benny Hinn. Need I go down the list? Going back even to the 70s, Catherine Coleman. They were all in league with Billy Graham. As early as the 1950s, Billy Graham began compromising with the Roman Catholic Church and actually began giving converts in his crusades, the cards of the converts information to Catholic Church priests and bishops to follow up on. He became one of the biggest advocates and he had meetings with the Pope and they became like this. And what's so sad is, is that in 97, Billy Graham was on Robert Shuler's show and I have the video, I actually was gonna send it to you guys and I forgot. You can type it in Billy Graham on Robert Shuler, if you want to bring up the video, go ahead and do that. But he said, he was asked about what do you see for Christianity and Billy Graham, you wanna talk about the biggest betrayal to the New Testament church that's ever been committed was by Billy Graham because he said that he believed that people were saved whether they knew Jesus or not, whether they were conscious of it or not. That is a Roman Catholic doctrine from their catechism. It's also a doctrine of the Freemasons. So no matter how many of you people got saved in Billy Graham crusades, he ended up being a harlot. Of Rome, a compromiser of Rome. Benny Hinn has done the same thing. Bill Johnson, IHOP, Rick Joyner. In fact, Rick Joyner joined the Knights of Malta. The Knights of Malta are, there are military secret society loyal to the Pope. They are actually a military arm of the Pope. Why would a Christian man who claims to be a prophet join a secret society that is loyal to the Pope? Why would Rick Joyner in 2005 lament and call John Paul II or the greatest Christian leaders of all time
when all John Paul II tried to do was create a one world religion and said that Mary was the one that saved him from the bullet. John Paul II was one of the greatest deceivers we have ever known. And yet Rick Joyner, the great prophet in the charismatic church said he was one of the great leaders. Billy Graham said he was one of the greatest Christian leaders of all time. Folks, say we've been so duped by these people. Oh, but Pastor Dean, I got saved in a Billy Graham crusade. Well, praise God that you did. But if you keep following his beliefs and where he ended up, you will be in error and you will be promoting something that's not the doctrine of Jesus Christ and not the Bible and you will end up in hell over it. This is what the Bible says. Second Corinthians chapter six. Oh, let's see, we'll go to verse 14. This is the command. They talk about, oh, unity, unity. Let's be in unity. The Catholic church is only trying to unite with the Protestant Christians. That's what the whole thing with Kenneth Copeland and that Tony Palmer and all that happened. But here's what God's word says. Be not an equally yoked together with unbelievers. But they're believers. No, they're not. I'll show you that in a second. He said, what fellowship have the righteousness with unrighteousness and what communion hath light with darkness? What concord has Christ with Belial? What part has he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God. As God has said, I will dwell in them and walk in them and I will be their God and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them and be separate, saith the Lord and touch not the unclean thing and I will receive you and I will be a father unto you and you shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Almighty. Now let's back up to 1 Corinthians five. So he says, come out from among them and be separate. He doesn't say unify with them. So Pastor Dean, how can you call them unbelievers? They claim to be Christians. A lot of people claim to be Christians. Here's what it says. This is 1 Corinthians five verse six. And he says here, your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little leaven leavens the whole lump. Purge out there for the old leaven that you may be a new lump as you are unleavened or even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us. Therefore, let us keep the feast, not with the old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators, yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world or with its covetousness or extortioners or idolaters for then much needs you go out of the world. So he's saying, I'm not talking about you can't associate with anybody because you'd have to leave the world. But he does say this, he said,
but now I have written unto you not to keep company if any man that is called a brother claims to be a Christian. If that brother is a fornicator, that word means a sexually immoral or idolatry. And then he adds or covetous or an idolater. What is an idolater? Somebody that bows before statues, somebody that prays to human beings and dead people. You can't be more of an idolater than that. And he says, if they're a fornicator, if somebody calls himself a brother, a sister of Christ and they're a fornicator or they're covetous or they're an idolater or a railer or a drunkard or an extortioner, he said, or extortioner, he says, with such and one know not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them that are without, do not you judge them that are within, but them that are without God judges, therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. And then let's drop down in chapter six, verse nine. He says, know you not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Be not deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate. That word is in the Greek definition is catamite, which means boy lover, pedophile, soft. Then he says, nor abusers of themselves with mankind. This refers to sodomy, homosexuality. Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners shall inherit the kingdom of God. And notice he says this, and such were some of you. You were these things. You don't continue to do these things. You don't continue to be an idolater or a fornicator or a drunkard. You don't continue to live that lifestyle habitually. He says, don't be deceived. You will not inherit the kingdom of God. You are not going to heaven when you die if that's how you live. And idolatry is listed in this, and this pedophile stuff, and this effeminate stuff, this homosexual transgender and all. Think of what the Catholic Church has eaten up with pedophilia. Do you think that's an accident? I mean, we were told that the seducing spirits and doctrines of devils that would come in the last days would forbid to marry. What do they do to their priests and their nuns, the so-called leaders of their church? They forbid them to marry. Well, guess what happens? Most of them aren't called to do that, certainly, and therefore they burn with lust. And that's why millions of babies are buried underneath monasteries because monks and nuns would get together,
and of course, we can't have that baby coming. So, oh yeah, the atrocities, they have found, just in Ireland alone, oh gosh, the mass graves of children. But he is clear here. Such were some of you, but you're washed, but you're sanctified, but you're justified in the name of the Lord Jesus and by the Spirit of our God. So, some of you were that way. And here, this is the word the Lord is telling me. And I know I've, I had, when I did this interview the other day with my friend Michael Zwick, he had a Catholic guy that goes, oh, this guy hates the Catholic church. He hates Catholic. No, I don't. I don't hate Catholic people. I hate that corrupt, idolatrous, harlot system. That institution is of the devil. Oh, but they help the poor. They're against abortion. The Lord said, many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? Cast out demons. They got exorcists. Done many wonderful works. And he said, I will profess to them, I never knew you, you that work iniquity. They have done nothing but promote idolatry. The Pope Francis has now said stuff like atheist and agnostics and homosexuals will go to heaven, whether they get saved and come to Jesus and repent of their sin or not. But I point that out about Pope Francis. But let me go in and tell you, there's a bunch of little Popes running around called pastors that tell you, God loves you just the way you are. You don't have to change. You don't have to repent of sin. You, God, he understands your sexual lust that you burn with. He understands that. He knows you got to have a little something, something on the side going on. God understand he loves you just the way. Little Popes. One of my friends used to call him the Popopotamus. Little Popes. If they lead you into sexual immorality and idolatry and make grace out to be a license to sin, they're a little Pope. If they're teaching you to do imaginative visualization type prayer, repetitive prayer, they might as well be Ignatius Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits, because that's what he taught all of his Jesuit infiltrators and assassins to do. And this is how that they have infiltrated and spoiled most of the church world by infiltrating it with the counterfeit occult demonic spirituality that they call contemplative prayer
and contemplative mysticism or imaginative prayer. And guess it, Christians are doing it by the millions now. They're going to conferences to learn how to visualize and get what they want. The law of attraction, that's really God. No, it's not. That's Oprah stuff. That's Deepak Chopra stuff. That's New Age Eastern mysticism stuff. You know what? When I pray, it doesn't make, I've walked with Jesus for 36, going up 37 years now. And I pray for stuff and sometimes guess what? The answer is no. You don't get it when you want. Sometimes you just have to accept that the Lord's saying either no or not right now. And sometimes the no and not right now may last for years. But see, the problem is, unlike Paul, the Apostle Paul, we haven't learned to be content in whatsoever state we're in, right? So then we start finding some teacher that'll give us a shortcut. Well, if you start visualizing that car you want, you'll get it. If you start visualizing, this is what they do too. You start visualizing that tumor in your body vanishing and disappearing, it'll go away. Instead of trusting Jesus for healing you, now you're starting to operate in the satanic realm. And oh, let me tell you, it'll work. That you visualize it, visualize the tumor going away and use these occult techniques and they'll work. But let me tell you what happens. The demons just move to another spot then they're gonna kill you later with something else. Cause that's how they work. They'll fake a healing and move somewhere else in your body and to get you later on. And what you're doing the moment you start this stuff is you just opening up more doorways for them. That's why there's an awesome book called The Beautiful Side of Evil. Everybody needs to read it by Johanna Michelson. It came out in 1982. It's still to me one of the most important books and testimonies that ever come out about this very thing. Demonic healing is a real thing. There are counterfeit supernatural everywhere. So well, Pastor Dean, that's just too much. I don't know how I can recognize. This is why you must get close to Jesus. You must get full of the Holy Spirit. You must stay in the word and you must pray constantly for discernment, Holy Spirit discernment, not suspicion, discernment and then just study. And you know when people come around, thing is the Bible says know those that labor among you.
How did I know back then? Did I have to have a prophetic word about Pope Mike Bickel? No, I knew what he was because I looked at what he taught. I looked at what he preached. I looked at where he was pushing people into, what he was doing. I didn't have to have discernment because I knew he was violating the scriptures by teaching his visualization and his repetitive prayer techniques and pushing Roman Catholic mystics. I knew he was in error and leading people astray and that it was gonna open the door for all kinds of demonic lust, perversion and everything else. I knew his spiritual fathers, Paul Kane and Bob Jones, were full of demons of lust and sexual sin and perversion. So I just looked into, what is he teaching? Does it line up with the scripture? Is he compromising with Rome? And I'm gonna end with this. Come out of her, my people. See what Jesus said. He said, some of my people are in these places. Y'all saw this church, this James River Church that just had the male stripper. Oh, guess what? He's really was a male stripper in both heterosexual bars and gay bars back just a few years ago. And I don't care what you say, the man stripping his shirt off and climbing on a pole shouldn't be happening in church. But James River Church and that pastor, John Lindell, I looked at their Facebook page and I saw something. I said, oh, now I understand. Because who has they had at their church preaching and teaching? Bill Johnson, Todd White. Two people that have opened the doors a long time ago to the false prophets and to the Roman Catholic Church. Bill Johnson even has meetings where he tries to unite with Roman Catholic priests. So what I'm saying is, it's no shock to me that that church would end up allowing some type of sexual fiasco on stage. And let me tell you something. I don't know any real man that's a heterosexual man as he should be, that wants to see some guy stripping his shirt off on a pole. That's not what I wanna see. I'm sorry. And somebody said, I said, you know, who booked this guy? It makes you wonder if there are not some closet homosexuals in leadership. And the guy, oh, the pastors even lied. This pastor didn't, he lied about this guy, said, oh, this guy was born again 10 years ago,
blah, blah, blah, and the guys come on. I watched the video. Guy said, no, he ain't born again. I'm not safe. He goes, I'm an Orthodox Christian. I got baptized as a Christian. But I'm not anything, he said, he had a family. He said, I don't have a family, I don't have any children. I mean, he just told straight up lies about him trying to make out like this guy's a Christian. No, he's not. In fact, he's best buddies with Eddie Bravo. Eddie Bravo is not a Christian. It's his pictures of him doing his meditation and stuff. These guys are new age occultists. So let me ask you, why are you having a new age occultist, former male stripper on the stage of a men's event? Who booked this guy? And even if the pastor didn't book him, he okayed it. I promise you it's skyfall. You will not see a pole and anybody spinning around on it half dressed. Not gonna happen at our conference. But do we need to even address it? Why are we even having to address this kind of stuff? It's insane, but this lets you know to the degree in which you've got these harlot churches acting just like their mother. If you have a pastor, a church, a youth leader, I don't care who they are. If they think Roman Catholicism is a real church and it's okay to unite with them and work with them and all this stuff and that they're just, their brothers in Christ, if that's what they think, you need to run away. Say, oh, Pastor Dean, are there some saved Roman Catholics? Yes, some of them are saved, but they're gonna have to come out of her. And if they are truly born again and being led by the Holy Spirit, they will eventually see the truth and come out of it. You cannot stay in it and promote it, cannot. And if you do, on Judgment Day, you will be held accountable for it. Rome is the whore, she is mystery Babylon. And she pollutes everything she touches with demonic occult mysticism and sexual perversion. Well, I remember seeing years ago when Benny Hinn would have his crusades and the Roman Catholic priest sitting up there on the stage. I said, you cannot be that ignorant. One thing you will never see at Fire and Grace Church or Skyfall Conference is a Roman Catholic priest sitting next to me, or getting ready to preach and teach you. Guess who had Roman Catholic priests
constantly preaching at his church? Rick Warren. He had Roman Catholic apologist Peter Creft at his church, who says that Mary and Muhammad and Jesus, that they're all in heaven, that everybody's going to heaven when they die eventually, universalism. And Rick Warren, purpose-driven church, we should say, crap-driven. But you know what Rick Warren's into? Contemplative, imaginative prayer. Teaches it in the book. In fact, one of the best-selling Christian books of all time, the purpose-driven life, he teaches that in that book. It's interesting, his son commits suicide. He ends up helping the United Nations. And when Pope Francis was elected, he says, oh, look, there's our new Pope. And Christians that have enough sense to go, what do we have here? We got a little Pope. You know what the problem is in most of Christianity today? Is celebrity worship. If anybody gets famous, somehow it's like we get blind to everything else. I've seen people, they're just getting off, certain people that are just, oh, because they're well-known and they're famous, oh, and I'm like, stop. In fact, some of the famous people that I've been around, both Christians and non-Christians, the moment I'm around them, you should realize when you see somebody, like you've only seen them on TV or movies or videos, the moment you see one of these people, you realize, wow. I remember I met Kid Rock, and I looked at him and it's like, up to my shoulder hand, it's like, wow. You realize, nothing. Just they're drinking the beer, depressed. You could just see the depression, the darkness on. I met Norm McDonald, big comedian, Saturday Night Live, standing next to him, creeped out, death upon him. So I've met some people, I could go down the list. Met a lot of the famous Christians over the years, not impressed, because you know what? We're all made of the same evil flesh that wants to sin. And the only thing that's gonna make you any different than the rest of the world is that you truly repent and hate sin and wanna live a holy life for Jesus and not indulge it.
That's it. On Judgment Day, that's gonna be the issue. Not how many times you said Jesus, not many times you went to church, not how many famous Christians you oohed and awed over. Did you live a holy, truly repentant, truly obedient life following Jesus? Were you a disciple? Did you hate sin and love righteousness? That's it. See, I don't hate people. I hate sin. I hate what destroys people. I hate what will lead people to hell. I don't hate people. And that's the way we should be. I hate sin. And I love is what Hebrews says about Jesus, said you have loved righteousness and hated iniquity. And because of that, you have been anointed with the oil of gladness. You want the anointing? You want the real anointing of the Holy Spirit? Love righteousness, hate sin. See, I hate it, because I know what it'll do to me. And I also know, no matter how strong I think I am, if I get cocky about it, or prideful about it, or think I got it all together, the temptation's gonna hit me, and I'm gonna go down. I'm no better than anybody else, because I'm a pastor, a leader, a teacher, or because God gives his work through me, or miracles have happened. That doesn't make me any different than anybody else. In fact, it makes me a bigger target of the devil, because he wants to take me down so he can embarrass Jesus publicly. And that's what all this is about, too. Some of this stuff was set up years in advance to make the Christians look bad in a massive way. It's all planned out. Jim Jones was planned out to make the charismatic Pentecostals look crazy, and like a cult. I believe this was planned out. Pope Bickel. He say, well, Pastor Dean, I don't think he's true. He was so sincere. Really? This is what some of these people, oh, he was such a sincere, good man. No, he wasn't. This is what I'm getting at. The whole time he's acting like he's Mr. Super Spiritual, he is in adultery, and he is seducing young women and some teenage women. He should go to prison. No, he was not good. Everything he did outside was a charade, and they were bringing in $10 million a year for that ministry. People are still giving to it. You know, after all this has come out, they just sent out a, IHOP just sent out a newsletter or an email or whatever.
Come on, give your IRA, give land, give inheritance, give, give, give, give. You know, the horse leech. You know what a horse leech is, right? Bloodsucking thing. He says in Proverbs, the horse leech just says give, give. He's, I mean, there's no shame. That place should fold up, and everybody should run for the hills. Even if they're true Christians saying, I was fooled for years by this guy, I am not promoting any aspect of this ever again. That thing should be annihilated and scattered to the winds, and yet they're sending out fundraising. Godly, and what blows my mind is people are gonna give to it, and they're about to shut, they're about to close it down. In fact, what they're doing is dishonest. Give to IHOP, and they're talking behind the scenes that got exposed that they're about to shut the place down, but give. It's like, it's like, sow your money into the Titanic right now. I know we're taking on water, but give. I gotta stop, let's stand. It is sad that as a minister of the gospel, I have to deal with all this stuff. I have to address it. You know, the Apostle John, you know, he talked about he was trying to go to a church, and he said there was this guy named Deatrophies that opposed him and wouldn't receive any of the apostles. Think about that. The Apostle John wanted to come to their church, and they're passing, no, you're not coming here. The Apostle John, this is what I'm talking about. You wanna talk about craziness has been going on. Even back in that time, crazy stuff was going on. Alexander the copper smith did me much evil. The Lord rewarded before his works. Hymn of five leaders are saying the resurrection is past already, and overthrow the faith of some. Paul said about something, he said, I delivered them to Satan that they might learn not to blaspheme. That's another apostolic authority. We don't talk about too much there, do we? Y'all think you can worship one more time? Let's do the carry job thing we didn't do a minute ago. Give it seven more minutes, because this is what it's about. This right here, true Christianity is about Jesus, and it is about surrendering to his lordship, and doing things and living according to his word, and that's it. All this stuff, like I said, there shouldn't be, there shouldn't be a Roman Catholic church, a Baptist church, a Presbyterian church, a Methodist church, shouldn't be all this stuff, because it is about following the scriptures,
and following the Holy Spirit, and he's going to lead us to glorify Jesus, and make him Lord of everything, and he's gonna lead us, if the Holy Spirit is gonna lead us anywhere, he's gonna lead us to be holy. So don't talk to me, you say, all the Holy Spirit's leading me, and you're in fornication, and don't, no he's not. Your flesh is leading you. The devil's leading you. The Holy Spirit's leading you, you're gonna be going another direction, amen? Let's do this, go ahead.
In spirit and in truth, Lord, we wanna worship you, and love you, and obey you, keep your words, Lord, that you may come and manifest yourself to us, that we may have the real presence of the Lord Jesus Christ, that we may have your real gifts and power of the Holy Spirit, that we may discern the wolves in sheep's clothing, the deceivers, God, that we may protect the flock from these wolves in sheep's clothing. Pray for your grace and your help to do all these things, and we pray it in Jesus' name. Praise the Lord, all right. Y'all know the rule, what's my wife, huh? Oh, come on up, baby. Oh, we'll say bye, bye to everybody. What's that? Oh, yeah, they know they're supposed to hug next before they leave, all right, love y'all.
