I’m now pleading to those who are truly born-again Christians who love’s and fear God. To stop winking their eyes to this wicked perverted Christianity that are adding more tares in the Church. And are now sending masses of false believers in hell, We Christian should remember and be moved by the blood and tears of many Christians of the past and of today, They’d sacrifice too much for the kingdom of God to advance. And must not and cannot advance the kingdom of God with a lie. People of God we must be watchful and vigilant to expose this greed’s of darkness. We must also help those believers and ministers that are ensnared by this lie. The pulpits and Christian radio stations must blow the trumpets of ultimatum and warning to these prosperity cults.
Who can imagine that this gospel that are only popular in states and in some nations, are now here in our islands? A pastor, who was a former member of big pastor’s fellowship that promotes greediness, told me that one of their leaders there taught them that if the cash is not flowing in their pockets, then the Holy Spirit is not flowing in you. Now that is a blasphemy against the Holy Spirit! Where in the bible did found that? This people will never ever qualify the apostles and the Hebrew heroes of faith for the ministry, because for them those people are penniless beggars, non-Spirit filled, faithless bunch of believers who no faith to claim the financial blessings of God. This how they motivate their people they say that if you not rich you are displeasing to God. There also some proud successful looking Churches in the Philippines that had big signs of gold and money on their walls to show the atmosphere of prosperity. They thought had found a common ground between mammon and Jesus through their distorted verse explanations. Oh even they are well spoken in the world by the unbelievers and many people flock their Churches, surely the awful wrath of God is so inescapable for them, unless they repent!
Last month after I had preached on school chapel about the pollution in the Church, which includes prosperity gospel and money preachers like Renato Carrillo. A pastor classmate of mine approached me and told that a night before that day he is in a dinner with Carrillo. Then he told me how shameless this false prophet is. This man who claims that every Filipino will bow down before him one day, and let his followers kiss his feet, Also claims that if all Christian Churches will not be under him there will no revival in the Philippines. Aye, he too doesn’t understand revival, because when revival comes the masses of people will be convicted about sin, righteousness and judgment by the presence of God. And he too must get rid of his greediness and pride. Why is it popular for many pastors to adopt these teachings? Well, because they thought the visible success is there even though it compromise. Now, we can say that there are a lot of people that are flocking those Churches. But does it mean the doctrine is approved by God? What they are doing is they will reduce the gospel into 4 spiritual laws, and then they will assure the believer that they are king’s kid even though they are not yet regenerated. Not just that they committed gospel reductionism they also make a person greedier. Look at II tim. 4:3-4 the people both sinners and ignorant believers are flocking them, because they could cater to the people’s itching ears and lust. The satanical lying spirits have possessed those pastors to invent a trick for the lust-bound generation to come to their false jesus. Those people think that the poor Christians in Africa and Asia are riper for judgment, because the cash were not flowing as sign of true Christianity contrary to I tim. 6:5. I think Conrad Murrell got this more rightly he said. “ They are purveyors of religious nonsense catering to carnal lust of unconverted men and childish Christians. The racket is enormously profitable; for a while you are preaching to them faith, and they are on irrational excitement of great things you are promising them, you give them an opportunity to show their faith by giving everything they had to you. By the time they find out it doesn’t work, you are now long away the money in you pockets.”
Before I too used to defend this heresy but now I see the hellishness of this teaching. I remember when I’m still yet a new Christian I attended this big youth gathering which is really of God. But there’s a part of service where the pastor who looks like a pimp started preaching on giving, on all of the people was moved by his ‘testimonies’ on all was giving their all, then he asked us to jump to catch the blessing. Mike Velarde use to do that like in some encounter God retreats (not all). And this pastors are really against those people who preached and lived taking the cross, repentance and judgment on sin. The result is they are producing new young ministers that are very critical against those preachers that are preaching those things. I’m not saying that you will never become rich nor you will never become poor as a Christian. But we must remember we are called to be holy not to be greedy. Friends it time to get serious the time is running out stop playing with those teachings that might damn your soul forever. Get away from the churches and pastors who are involve in this prosperity cult! This is an ultimatum for you! Run to Jesus for mercy and seek and obey Him forever!!!

Preaching the severity of God, Why are we so afraid of?
Today we have abandon and sometimes even mock one of the most chearucial subject in the Word of God. The fact is, when we get on the subject of eternal judgment, most of us will have a hard time meditating on it. Because of our false view on the love of God , we think that the God we serve can't condemn anyone because of His kindness. But that is not true in the bible (John 3:18 His love is conditional). Or maybe we know it but we will still care not to, be motivated by it to live in holiness, care not to be move by it in going to the lost people, And will not care to preach it because many of us can't swallow it.
God is love of course but this doesn't mean that He has relented His promised fury against lawless unbelievers. Jesus came to seek, save and heal the lost , But unless we see that we are that we are spiritually lost and cancerous we will still not yet be available for His salvation, healing and solution. But how about the reply of one famous Pastor who said that if he has a disease, he don't want to hear more about his sickness but how he can be healed, so why bother preaching the consequences of sin why not just preach the solution? But that thinking is not that really correct the situation of us a lost people is that we care not about the solution because we crave on our sins, lost people will love his sins when he sees that their walking in a safe way , our sickness could be name as sin madness, look at Jer. 17:9 "The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked..." . I remember one time while I was preaching near the north Caloocan city, There was one boy who heckled me and and wanted to stop me. I told Him that God loves him (after I convicted him w/ God's standards). And he said to me "I know" Then I told him that he doesn't love God, the boy replied to me "No, I love Him." Then I asked Him if he love's Him why does he watch porn movies? (That's what he boasted in us) And told him that if we say we know Him but doesn't obey Him we are liars (I john 2:4). Majority of us Filipinos have heard about God's wonderful plan and love but most of us responded with complacency in our sinful lifestyles. We think He is love so why be condemn as idolaters? Or being pervert? lustful? Drunkard? etc. And that is not just the responds of the unbelievers but those who are in the Church (Jude 4). I grew up in a born-church that has a lot of talk on God's love, but it doesn't show in their lives, majority of them are corrupt in their living but zealous for Church growth. Most of them praise God and speak in tongues loudly, but the reality of love and fear of God was not in them. Then we boast to to unbelievers that God loves them, but we don't love God and even loved the people w just want them to sit and play in our churches. Is that the reason most of us garbage the subject on the wrath of God? Because if He is really angry with the sinners (Ps 7:11) the hypocrites are not in safe also?
Friends we push the limits, Jesus is so grieve with the worldliness in the Church and with the complacency of the sinners. It is because we have forgotten to warn them that it is appointed for man once to die then the judgment. And because we are fed that preaching His severity is condemning. Then if it is condemning and harsh judging, why does Jesus spoke on it more than heaven, forgiveness, grace and love? Is He also a bible-basher according to our modern preaching standards? How about the prophets? John the baptist? the apostles? The Church fathers? Or maybe the reformers and the revivalist of the old? Are they all hate-mongers? Many Christians will appreciate Wesley, Whitefield, Moody, Finney. They will be quoted cause they use women, small groups or because they become instruments for awakenings. But many of us will not preach like them or most of the time will criticize those who preach like them as being unloving. Those Christians today who tolerate sins are hailed as loving, but those who reprove sin in order to show them the solution is are labeled as unloving.
How many open-air preachers and preacher of righteousness of this day are banned from the pulpits? They are condemned as heretics and not supported financially. This rejected believers are rejected by the organized institutional church because they preach the whole counsel of God. Thats what also happened to William Booth, And many of our preachers today will not mess themselves in that trouble so we keep on feeding people candies. Leonard Ravenhill is correct when he said that we had more star preachers than scarred preachers. But that can't be reconciled with the bible, Because the preaching of the cross is an offense to the unbelievers, and most of us are hailed and loved by the world ( That's why we recruited many scavengers and garbage form the world). Well why many compromising Pastors have big Churches? and that is a fruit. Well that doesn't mean if we are approve by the world then we are approve by God. Surely the standards of the hireling have poisoned the minds of many of us. So the vision of Christ is replaced by the vision of success and prosperity, But the one day the fire of God will show all the results of it.
What we need today is men and women of God that would seek after God and His righteousness. That are not compromisers but agonizers because the glory of God is downgraded by men. Get off with our people pleasing approach and gospel, Get off in playing with their emotions. Preach the whole counsel of God! Michael L. Brown is correct with his observations, that in the days Jonathan Edwards (1st great awakening). Most of their
preachers become hell-fire preachers that they had a great need for love of God preachers. But today most of us become love of God preachers that we are in desperate need of hell-fire preachers. God is loking for men and women that are solely after Him, to proclaim His truths, standarsd and good news! But will He find those people that are not after success and recognition? May we qualify for it!!!

Judgment is coming to the Philippines! (We need hell-fire preachers)
The filipino people are going to hell without a blow of trumpet from the Church of Jesus Christ. Could I change the quote from A.W. Tozer "Philippines is laughing her way to hell." (He said America). Why could we shut up for so long that this sons of hell like the iglesia ni manalo and soriano cult is making noise while we are so fed in our pretty little churches? While the cults are peddling their poisons in our households, our creeds about eternal woes is unheard.
This Idolatrous nation have gone so ripe for judgement but very few are speaking for the Lord Jesus . Yes God is love and I believe He loves the philippines but the filipinos love their idols, liquior, immorality , false religion, evil entertainment, homosexuality, fornication, hypocrisy and self centerdness. Soak in its sins and vileness we are boasting about our being only "Christian" (?) nation in asia. We think that the cause of the curses and plagues in this nation is because of corrupt politicians but we have never look upon ourselves on how this whole nation have forgotten and rabelled against God. The Idols in our houses and in our Churches what about that? (Exod 20:4) Do we not expect the curse and wrath of God to fall upon us because of that? Why not the protesters go to the office of the cbcp (Catholic baalites conference of the philippines) and ask them to stop leading this whole nation into sinning. We have seen how this whole nation have gone crazy over hayden kho halili fornicators scandal. And as the youth of this nation enjoying its liquior and heavy music their ancestors who are now in hell is pleading to Abraham to send people to warn them about the eternal burning hell that is waiting for them.
Oh may God be merciful to this nation that He might send revival and prophets to this nation. Lord we need national repentance!! PHILIPPINES REPENT AND FOLLOW JESUS!!!!
