Leaving any social group is not an easy task. All humans are social beings.
When we hurt and we are forced outside of a group’s circle, we either desire to
vindicate ourselves in one way or another, or we passively stew in a
simmering pot of self recriminations, depression and regrets. When people
reject us because of WHO we are and NOT what we have actually done, then the pattern of our private times of reflexion will cause us to consider that
since we couldn’t fit in, perhaps the majority is right and the fault lies in
our own camp.

Let us also not forget that peer pressure from those we have left behind can
certainly be a stumblingblock to those who for one reason or the other, found
themselves “outside the sheepfold.” Preachers probably denounced you openly from the pulpit in the hearing of your peers. What follows is that your peers will take it upon themselves to believe that “you are in sin and going to hell
because you left them,” and so they will valiantly try to win you back. When
you run into them in your community, some will sadly look at you and piously
repeat the platitude of “I’m praying for you,” while others may even scold you
with “a piece of their mind” about “you disrespected my pastor!.”

My case was different because as a former pastor and an evangelist for 25
years, I was never really welcomed or accepted in the Denomination in the
first place. Even though I expected that the people would be delirious with
glee if I left them , coming out of the church was not a “walk in the park” for
me by any stretch of the imagination. Commonsense should have told
me, “since these people cannot stand you and only tolerate you
being among them, why not just shake their dust from your feet? It is clear
that they will not accept you or the word that you preach,
Pam!”

Believe me, after what I endured among them, some might think that I was
either a glutton for punishment or something “else” was going on with me. The
truth is that I believed that I was God’s prophet, sent to a dying, sinning
traditional church, to cause the people to turn from their wicked ways and
repent. Therefore, the spiritual abuse that I endured in that place was my way
of “suffering for Christ.” I strongly believed that God needed me to stay among
the enemy in order to convert them.

So as a root in dry ground, my feet were firmly planted on
hostile territory. So when I came out, it was because “God spoke.” He warned
very clearly in a dream, “if you stay in that church, I will not be able to use
you, and you shall remain a candle or a light, hidden under a bed. However,
don’t leave on your own. Let them put you out.”

At the time, my prophetic way of thinking caused me to believe that God
wanted the Denomination to put me out because He wanted to judge them for not
receiving the prophet that He had sent them. However, today, I am a lot less
self consumed. You see, the Lord eventually revealed that “He
never sent me there in the first place, nor did He or would He call a babe in
Christ like I was in ’81, into ministry in such a sinful place for the sheep
in wolves clothing to overtake me!.” When I tried the spirits and
looked back at the time I believed that I was called, I could see how the
devil’s hand was in ALLof it. I had heard from God! Wow!

So I understand today, that the Lord desired the church to put me
out in 2004 in order to save me from the pervasive mental anguish of
constantly wondering if I had done the right thing by walking out on my own. As a result, I could not blame myself in anyway for coming out since
they put ME out. It was a rather simple process. Since I did
not attend the annual meeting, the Bishop used a technicality to remove my
names from the rolls. Since I did not send in my annual dues of $660, the Bishop convinced the delegate voters that removing me was possible and acceptable within the laws of the Church.

Did I expect such a thing to happen? No, I did not. I had no idea how they
could even put me out because I was in excellent ministerial
standing. This was a technicality never before used, for there were people
in nursing homes who had not sent in the annual dues for 10 years or more, yet their names were never removed. Also, I was aware of other active ministers who never paid the dues at any time. Therefore, I could have fought this arbitrary decision and remained a minister in good standing. However, since God had already revealed to me that I MUST come out 9 months before they actually put me out, I did not protest. I left quietly. I received only one call from a minister who enquired of my well being. No one else in hundreds of people tried to convince me to come back so leaving was made easy for me.

So that no one comes away from this thinking, “Oh, since she was so
spiritually abused, she is against the church entirely,” you need to
know this. When I was removed in 2004, I completely expected that God
would lead me to another church organization. I waited patiently for 2 years
until I heard from the Lord “the next time”. To my surprise, the Lord revealed that He had no intention of sending me to any church. A year or so later, the Lord explained why He desired that I remain “church free.” It has been a progressive revelation.

As for the Denomination, the new Bishop invited me back in 2008. He said
“Pam, I’ll support you in EVERYTHING that you do. I want you to
re-affiliate your ministry with us. We need ministers like you. I am so sorry that the Denomination did not act like the Church. I want you back.”

When a Bishop says words like that to any minister, he has the power to back
it up. For example, a bishop has the power and influence to simply
“request” that each and every church under his authority buy ALL of my books, in bulk. We are talking about several thousands of here and loads of dollars here. I could have become a best selling author overnight by the request of ONE bishop. A bishop can also “suggest” to every pastor under his authority to invite me to preach or conduct seminars in their respective churches. This means even more dollars in my pocket. The Bishop also has the power to appoint me to any church that I desire to pastor. This means a church salary. One bishop also has influence with 11 others, who can do the exact same thing for me in their respective regions, “at my Bishop’s request.” Now you are talking about millions. A worldwide denomination, more than 200 years old, the bishops are in complete control over every pastor, minister and church under their charge.

Two days after speaking with the new Bishop, “I heard from God.” He
impressed upon me, “Pam, the 3 dreams that you had in 1979 that caused you to join the Denomination, were not sent to you by Me. I never sent you to that church, nor did I desire for you to become a minister therein. The words that the Bishop spoke to you two days ago were not inspired by Me either!”

The Lord did not mention the devil ONE time. However, since I knew that I
did not create those dreams and that I did not call myself into ministry, the
only other choice was “obvious!”

Leaving the organized church, and not looking back, is going
to be extremely difficult for some of you, particularly for those that have been
favored or at least well received, and for those who have had satisfying
ministries or may even have earned some income. Don’t be surprised, if it may be somewhat challenging to break those ties. When your children have bonded with other children and have participated in daycare, afterschool programs, summer camp and the like, cutting ties is even more complicated. Music ministries are particularly challenging. So are friendships that provided you with opportunities for companionship and Christian fellowship.

To ALL of you, I say these brief words, a few from the Lord, a few from
me:

If your righthand offend you, cut it off.

If you need to be social, join the Y! You will be much safer. Much
better off.

However, to help you make up your mind, consider this. There are 3 main
reasons that you should leave your church, without looking back.

1. Fallen angels have been feverishly and skillfully working for about a
century to infiltrate the entire organized church system with false doctrines,
in order to be able to gain access to all pulpits. Demons and
devils have brought plagues into the churches. People are being
tormented.

2. Since ALL but a few churches are caught up in the decisional salvation
message, namely, that man chooses Christ by repeating a sinner’s prayer or
responding to an altar call, Are there saved people in church?
Certainly! However, ask them how they got saved. I am willing to bet that the day they got saved, “they were not in church.”

3. There is coming a movement called “Joel’s Army.” In fact, it is already
here. Once this movement really takes hold, Joel’s Army leaders teach
that there will be a civil war among the churches. Those who are in
disagreement with their doctrines and practices will be removed or “wiped
out.” Since this war is not only spiritual but “natural,” you may have to take
a pistol into church with you one day coming too soon for comfort.

Once you come out, Beloved, then I warn you. Don’t look
back.

What do you do in the meantime? Well, you can form a home church. If you

WHY THE ORGANIZED CHURCH IS DANGEROUS

Counterfeit Births, false conversions, I accept Jesus, leave the church

You will not see the immediate truth of what I warn you about until you have your own revelation from the Lord. The Holy Ghost may use something that I write on this subject to motivate a decision that you may have already been contemplating. Nevertheless, no one can lead you out of the visible, organized church but the Holy Ghost.

The most dangerous churches are those where the people are supportive and dedicated to good works. It is hard to leave smiling faces who provide good music and helpful projects and programs. After 25 years, I was led out. In fact, I literally had to be THROWN out when MY time came because “church” had become “comfortable.” The Bishop and other church officers had to mess with my comfort zone for me to leave. Then again, “I had a dream.” It was plain and it was clear. The Lord said, “Pam, if you don’t come out, you will be like a candle, hidden undeer a bed. I will not be able to use you.”

Perhaps that will be the case for you. Perhaps God will set you up to be thrown out. But if you are among the elect, you will either walk out yourself, or the Lord will allow the devil to use fake Christians led by demons within the visible church to PUSH you out. But out you MUST come in order to survive and escape the plagues that are coming upon those who still remain “in the house!!!” I warn “the lukewarm” to take heed to the words of Paul to Timothy and the words of Jesus to the church at Laodicea. Don’t get me wrong about this.

So what is the bottom line to Satan’s not so tender trap? How was the devil able to get into the church, and not only secure a seat in the back row, but actually make his way to the pulpit? Well, through a gradual infiltration that has taken a century or two, Satan finally has his pulpit position. You see, the gateway for the religious demon is “by invitation.” Invitations can be either formal or informal. Whether in ignorance or by design, when a person has made an appeal to Satan’s services by either a formal pact or an informal agreement, that person has unwittingly submitted himself to the powers of darkness..

When signs, wonders and strange religious practices that did not emanate from the Holy Ghost are accepted as divine, a spiritual invitation is made to the fake Jesus. Without hesitation, the fake Jesus pushes his way through the doors of your soul. When sermons are preached by wrenching scriptures out of their context for the purpose of making three points that have nothing to do with repentance, rebirth or the resurrection, an invitation is made to the religious demon. When salvation is taken out of the sovereign calling and election of God and put into the hands of man to “make a decision for Christ” then Satan moved from the backseat into the pulpit. When unsaved people came to church altars “chanting” as they sought to speak in tongues, they invited demons to enter them and countless of these folk are now tormented, almost fully demonized.

As would be expected, the sheep followed the preaching of a distorted gospel, looking for blessings, success, and prosperity to come in the abundant life they are taught that Jesus promised them. They have been seduced into believing that “they have a right to the good life” and all that prosperity entails. Rarely do preachers even mention that serving Jesus Christ can also bring trial, tribulation, trouble and in some cases, even death. Consequently, Satan’s seat has been securred by the gradual elimination of the cross from the gospel preached in most pulpits.

Can Satan be unseated by the organized church?. How can he be? Though short lived, the bible tells us that Satan will have his day, when he officially takes his seat in the endtime synagogue, today called “THE CHURCH!” The organized church is fastly ringing true to her final name, Mystery Babylon. Furthermore, the time for repentance may already be OVER, because judgement of the household of faith has already occurred. The remnant within the church shall prevail along with the rest of the 144,000 righteous remnant. Whether an actual or a literal number, the truth is this. The way to the True Jesus is narrow and straight and the very few are those who enter in and find the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of the Father.

So What’s Goin On?!”

I have been a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ since 1981, yet, I warn you. Church is not only a dangerous place , but around the globe, many churches are actually so dangerous, that its members should run from them as if the church building was about to explode at any minute. I have a pastor’s heart and have functioned in the pastor’s calling for two decades , and I am still a pastor without a visible pulpit. Yet I myself will never return for any reason.

Even so, I personally believe that a person can grow spiritually without regularly attending any organized church. Most definitely, you should assemble with the saints, but the word of God does not lay out a detailed order of service, nor does it suggest the day you should assemble, the time or even the nature of the place or building where gathering together should take place. We live in a computerized world, where we can “assemble” 24 and 7. Simply put, I truly believe that the organized church as it now stands will be completely revamped by the Lord. Why? Because quite frankly, the traditional structures are not working. I myself have no replacements to offer, I closed my own local assembly two years ago.

For 25 years in the organized church as a minister, I was hopeful that repentance would bring about reformation and renewal to the organized church. However, the love of money, which is the root of ALL evil, has permeated most of the church and I seriously doubt if the Lord is going to allow it to continue to exist in its present state. Judgement is swiftly coming and I shunder at what is going to happen to church and to churchgoers. There are plagues for those who do not “come out of Her.”

My suspicion that the age of the organized church is either over or very close to ending has been growing over time. There is one startling fact.— I emphasize a crucial, damnable sign of the end of the gentile age. The bottom of the bottom line is that souls are not being saved in the organized church. What is really troublesome is that I am finding that even the best churches can be hazardous, primarily because subtle deception is actually held in place by the sincerity and the commitment of its leadership. To be sincerely wrong can be almost as deadly as being obviously deceived or purposefully deceptive.

In order to understand the nature of end times, we need to have a general insight on “what has been goin on.” I have read newsletters, articles and books written by well meaning sisters and brothers that are too complicated for the average Christian. We have some very intelligent people in the remnant church—real deep, scholarly thinkers. The problem is that as they major on each individual tree, our minds are overrun with too manythoughts, too many ideas. The intent of my blog posts is to “uncomplicate” things by centering on the big peices of the puzzle in order to make the spiritual picture more understandable to the average Christian.

To get a picture of “what’s goin on” , it is important that we consider the intense significance of the fact that man was made a little lower than the angels. As are angels, we too are created beings. The highest created being was Lucifer, as there was no creature superior to him. Beneath Lucifer were the rest of the angelic creation: cherubim and seraphim, the archangels, principalities and powers, the lower angels and demons. The bible also suggests that there were other living creatures on earth who themselves fell at the time of Lucifer’s rebellion. It is believed that their disembodied spirits make up the lower class of demons. Of this, no one is sure. All we know is that no matter the class of demon, in the Name of Jesus, we can “cast them out from people.”

However, demons cannot be cast out of the organized church because the leadership will not repent for practical reasons that I call the 5 “P’s”. It has too much to lose. Position—self images are in jeopardy. Power—too many enjoy ruling over others. Prestige—vanity relishes in the exaltation of people. Pride—puffed up preachers will not admit to doctrinal error. Prosperity—too many livelihoods depend upon tithes and offerings. No one will risk financial stability in hard times.

The dire situation of the visible church is like a run away train. To stop, it must crash.

And crash, it will.

To protect yourself from the crash, help is close at hand.
