Unfortunately there is no help from the media who stoke the fires of contention, pointing out faults with one party while embracing the other as the true savior of humanity. There is no wonder that the masses are confused when they are asked to cast their ballot for another four years of slavery. Other parties have come and gone over the years promising to bring change but never capturing enough democratic votes to make a difference. So things continue unabated while some dream of starting another party or giving new voice to one that’s already there in the mainstream.

Then there are those who think that we should start a new movement throwing out both parties and putting forth fresh ideas, new blood, and a person who has been separated from the establishment. They eagerly look for one who will promise to break off the shackles of bondage and set free the masses. Yet most will look with disdain on such an idea and return to one of the two parties as a dog returns to its vomit. So what happens to the Christian who is caught in this web of deceit and blinded by the world’s rhetoric? What are Christians to do when many of our churches no longer preach against sin, hold their people accountable, and seek to open their eyes to worldliness and the deceptions of our age?

I have sounded the final warning in my book and in the pulpits of this country for over three years now and for the most part the message has seem to have fallen on deaf ears. It appears that many have enjoyed their slavery more than the freedom offered to them by the risen Christ, because they are unwilling to let go of their favorite doctrine or theological perspective of the end times. They are unwilling to let go of their trust in the government to take care of their every need, they are unwilling to let go of their dependence on the world’s professional counselors, they are unwilling to let go of their dependence on their drugs instead of trusting in God alone for their providential care. Most are unwilling to actually die to self and pick up the Cross of Jesus Christ and follow Him. So what can the Christian do?

What is needed dear friends is true revival in our land that will reach around the entire world as a burning inferno that will consume the dross, purify the heart, and set the captives free. And the only way that this revival is possible is making a commitment to preach only the gospel truth in its entirety. I call on all preachers of the gospel to drop those meaningless illustrations, time consuming stories that have no relevance, and bury those time pieces that limit the proclamation of the gospel. Furthermore, I implore every preacher to cast off his notes, open his Bible, and allow the Holy Spirit to speak through him with power to cause his listeners to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ. When the gospel is faithfully preached in the pulpits of America then the fire will be lit.

As revival takes root in America you will see the power of the Holy Spirit manifested in various gifts. There will be a turning away from Babylonish administration, and once again a total dependence on Jesus Christ alone. In a true revival everyone will preach the gospel, hold one another accountable, and prophesy the dangers of worldliness and the deception of this age. True revival will lead the church to help the homeless, feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and counsel the depressed. Finally, true revival will see a fanaticism for the visible return of Jesus Christ in Glory to rapture His Church and usher in the new age.

“Hallelujah! For our Lord God Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” (Revelation 19:5)

And the truth is the good news of Jesus Christ. It is good news that Jesus Christ rose from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of God the Father. Jesus Christ is the Messiah who had been prophesied thousands of years prior to His coming. One who would preach the good news to the poor, to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind. Although He was killed by lawless men by hanging Him on a cross, it was all in God’s plan to use His death and resurrection to bring salvation to the world. “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” (John 3:16) As Christ hung on the Cross of Calvary all the sins of the world past, present, and future were placed upon Him as He became the perfect sin offering for the entire world. Through faith in Jesus Christ as the Son of God and by believing in your heart that He was raised from the grave then you too can receive forgiveness of your sins and the promise of eternal life.
True faith is more than just believing the historical facts of who and what Jesus Christ did. No longer do you trust in the works of your own hands. No longer do you trust in the establishment or other world religions. No longer do you trust in your own knowledge or understanding. No longer do you trust in the counsel of the world. Through God’s grace you learn to trust in Him alone. In order to receive forgiveness you must repent. Agree with God that you are a sinner, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23); then repent of your sins by turning away from them. The good news is Jesus Christ will give you the gift of the Holy Spirit, the Power on high to show you your sins and help you to turn away from them and live a godly life.

Then you must be baptized which is an outward act of an inward change that takes place in your life. As you are plunged into the water it signifies your dying with Christ – you choose to no longer live the old life but you put it off by dying to self; then as you are raised up out of the water it signifies that you have been raised with Christ and given a new life in Him. No longer do you live for self but you live for the Lord Jesus Christ. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (II Corinthians 5:17)
Dear friends, this is only the first step into the Kingdom of God, the step of faith. Although you will encounter many trials and tribulations they are meant for the strengthening of your faith and the outcome is more glorious than words can describe. As a new disciple of Christ you want to read His Word daily (the Christian Bible) allowing the Holy Spirit to lead, convict and encourage you. You want to immediately begin to tell others about Jesus Christ and the good news that He brought to a dying world. You want to spend time in prayer to God the Father and meditate on His Word. And finally you will want to join with other believers in Christ to experience the joy of true fellowship and mutual encouragement.

Friends when you come to Christ the blindfold will be removed from your eyes and for the first time you will see and understand spiritual truth – truth that will set you free.

History of the New World Religion (godless Psychology)

Why do people act or think as they do? Why do some people seem to have more problems than others or have difficulty resolving them? These are questions that have plagued mankind from the beginning. World religions and philosophies have attempted to answer these questions and have led millions to follow their creeds and methodologies to deal with life’s problems.

Then there was the rise of psychology with the first psychiatric hospitals and insane asylums being set up by Muslim physicians in Baghdad, Iraq in 750 AD. Then fifty years later psychiatric hospitals were introduced in Cairo, Egypt. And then in 850 AD Ali ibm Sahl Rabban al-Tabari developed the idea of using clinical psychiatry to treat mentally ill patients. In 1270 famous psychiatric hospitals were built in Damascus and Aleppo in Syria. By the Nineteenth Century it had moved to Europe with Soren Kierkegaard writing the first exposition on anxiety and by 1875 William James opened the first experimental psychology laboratory in the United States. Throughout this period experimental psychology research laboratories were opened in such universities as John Hopkins University, University of Pennsylvania, Harvard, Indiana University, and the University of Chicago. At this point psychology was primarily experimental and dealt specifically with those who suffered from insanity. They had not appeared to be a threat to organized religion.

In the next period psychology took on a whole new meaning introducing group therapy, the study of behavior, ‘Counseling and Psychotherapy’ suggesting that respect and non-judgmental approach to therapy is the foundation for effective treatment of mental health issues. At this point the patient which includes more than just the insane is no longer responsible for his behavior, but is mentally ill or just plain sick. By 1949 the Bolder Conferences outlined scientist-practitioner model of clinical psychology, looking at M.D., versus PHD used by medical providers and researchers, respectively. In 1952 modern psychology produced mental illness classifications, thus attaching labels to certain perceived illnesses and then the following year B.F. Skinner outlined his behavioral therapy. And then by 1968 there was the first Doctor of Psychology (Psy.D) professional degree program in Clinical Psychology. Clearly at this point psychology has passed the line by making them professionals on what causes behavior problems, how to deal with life’s problems, and introducing behavior modification.

In the last period clinical psychology has spread throughout the world and most predominately in the West and specifically in the United States claiming to understand and classify man’s behavior problems. Moreover, they claim that they can actually bring about change to the individual through an array of counseling techniques developed over the past 100 years and the administering of prescription drugs. This has become so widespread in this country almost no one questions their ability to do what they claim. In 1994 Antonio Damasio proposed his somatic-marker hypothesis by which emotional processes can guide (or bias) behavior, particularly decision making. But why do I call this the new world religion? Simply put it makes the same claims as biblical Christianity and in the process has deceived millions from around the world to follow its practices and methods in dealing with life’s issues. Moreover, they have for the most part unknowingly transferred their trust in God to deliver them from their bondage of sin to trusting in this new world religion to solve their problems and give them the ability and guidance in dealing with life’s difficulties.

Yet Centuries ago Jesus Christ carried the same message as His Father in Heaven that sin and separation from God is the only cause of bad behavior and the inability to face life’s most difficult issues. Jesus Christ and His followers preached the only cure for bad behavior and how to deal with life’s problems. His gospel message was that through forgiveness of sin and faith in Jesus Christ we would be made into a new creation where old things would pass away and all things would be new. (See II Cor. 5:17) How new would this life be? The barnacles of the old sin nature fall off and the new life in Christ experiences the love and grace of God as it’s poured into our heart by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is our guide in decision making, no longer controlled by our emotions we experience the joy of being in Christ that permeates our entire nature. Unlike the methodologies of godless psychology, God does the work of changing our behavior and making us into the perfect image of His Son Jesus Christ. The Psalmist said, “Unless the Lord builds the house its builder’s labor in vain.” (Psalm 27:1) Furthermore, as we will explore later, the Bible has given us every thing we need for life and godliness (see II Peter 1:3-4).

Jesus Christ is the Wonderful counselor who has given us His Spirit to work in us to the glory of God. The Apostle Paul said, “But even if we or an angel from heaven preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned!” (Ga. 1:8) And dear friends, that is exactly what the doctors’ of psychology are doing; they are preaching a different gospel.
