 “Help me Lord please, to change my neighbors’ desire; the Catholic, the Protestant, the Christian and Jew, to reach out and help save their eternal souls, from the unquenchable raging fire. In the name of Christ Jesus I pray, have mercy on them today.” AMEN

My Dear Friends, Neighbors and Brethren,

Judgment is sweeping the earth and it has begun with the many divided houses of God. We are indeed in the days of acceleration. How can anyone not notice the signs that are given? No longer can I remain silent over my grave concerns about the state of man’s churches and the “so called brethren” that are running them. There is a battle that is raging, both in heaven and on earth, over the souls of these men and all who are gathering with them.

I am certain that Jesus had said, “Those who do the will of My Father are My brothers, sisters and mother.” How can anyone support and justify these deluded men? I have witnessed their blasphemies and perversion, deceiving and seducing. I have witnessed the serpents tongue slithering like a snake in the grass (Caught it all on videotape). The people fall down or slither off their seats. Passing out; some can’t get back to their seats. The laughter they call holy is as evil and demonic as a blasphemer’s scoffing; depicting Kenneth Hagin’s performances. Now, we hear this man who authored the “word in faith” aka “positive confession” movement died September 19th. Kenneth Hagin claimed that long ago, God had told him he would be “made very rich if he would learn to follow that inward witness.” Failure to repent here will cost him dearly. Kenneth Hagin’s charismatic protégés were Kenneth Copeland, Marilyn Hickey, Fred Price, Robert Tilton and John Osteen. I’m sure Kenneth’s Ministry will likely continue to prosper the family with their sordid gain as junior is likely to be much like dad. An apple never falls far from the tree.

Benny Hinn is right up there with the rest of these charismatic showmen or should I say, shaman? Benny has said, “Cursed is any man who comes against me and cursed is anyone who comes against this ministry.” Here is a man whom has led none to Jesus except perhaps a few sons who discerned they should run for the sake of their souls. When Benny Hinn waves his hands over the crowds, he demonstrates great wonder and power from down under. Yes, that’s right; I’m talking about the men many Christians worship today whom are nothing more than showmen. Jesus wasn’t a showman and neither was He a shaman. Clearly, He was “One” with the Father above. These men enjoy great wealth and prosperity yet Christians were promised, “All who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer.”

He warned us of these days and said few would follow. The masses of Christianity today, contrast sharply with God’s Word. “Many are called but few are chosen.” Yes friend, contemporary Christianity is as fallen as the old Jews. As for this society, we are no better off than the Egyptians, Greeks and Romans. In fact, today’s Nations are the long down line from ancient civilizations. The purpose of my work is no different than Paul’s. He preached unto the Jews and Greeks as I am sent to speak unto the Gentiles and those whom are called Christian. After all, what should I have to do with judging outsiders? Does not God judge those who are on the outside? Anyone who is called and chosen is commissioned to handle His Word correctly and search for our brethren, speaking with all boldness of speech, reproving and admonishing in the context of God’s true love.

Oh please don’t tell me you were expecting me to tickle your ears? Of Rod Parsley and all the rest of his deceived brotherhood, who among them is truly suffering in all likeness to how Jesus and His Apostles indicated it would be? I see none but I do see the trail of money and boy, most are truly deceived! You must be thinking by now that perhaps I am an accuser of brethren? Do not forget who I said my brethren are. The Father knows who I am and it is your ears I ask you to lend. By His abundant grace and mercies afforded me, I have been commissioned to speak; to the Jew and the Gentile, the Christians I seek.

The deeds of Catholics are clearly exposed; the Papacy is an utter offense. They’ve made for themselves graven images and keep my Lord hanging on the cross of despair! They submit their petition and prayers to supposed dead saints and pray to whom they claim to be more blessed than Jesus who died for our sins. In contrast to Christ's commands, they address all their priests as "Father." Many Catholics attend their altars and shrines and pray to statues and dead men of old thus exposing their sins the Prophets foretold.The worship of Mary and the fertility of her womb is a grave deception precipitated by Satan. So many of my brethren of old were killed by the Catholic Church of which many are so fond of. Burning them at the stake has been just one of their many mistakes! These are just a few of the abominations I so deplore! Their abuses and twisting of God's Word is something I will tolerate no more! They continue to crucify Christ my Lord and put Him to open shame! Now the shame is on them for they have lost at least 450 clergy due to sexual sin. I seem to recall warning of this Apostasy back in 1999, two years before this made headline news. It was recorded in my book, “Apostasy Revealed.”

James once wrote and said, “Submit therefore to God; resist the devil (deceiver) and he will flee from you.” So many have failed to resist the enemy! Those with whom you still fellowship may lead you further into darkness and deep despair. The power of thine enemy is not something we should seek. For, when we are beholding to the deceived, they place in our minds, perversion and deceit. The purpose of them is this; to make you blind and very weak. For those who refuse to resist the enemy from within; they become so dependant on the “supposed” fellowship they’re in. Are you in a state of utter despair? I ask you please, to what kingdom are you heir?

These hirelings, whom have led so many away from their freedom, have sucked them into their lairs; serpents and dragons and demons of despair. The power of my enemy is very great indeed but those whom are responsible for this are full of evil deed. They’ve robbed so many from their freedom and are likely to cause you great grieving.

Hear now and listen to what the Lord doth say…
James 4:1-6 “From whence come wars and fighting’s among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, the spirit that dwelleth in us lusts with envy? But he gives more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resists the proud, but gives grace unto the humble.”

1 Timothy 4:1-5 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth. For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.”
1 Timothy 4:7-11 “But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. For bodily exercise profited little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. For therefore we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those that believe. These things command and teach.”

The point of my work and duty to God is this; that having revealed to the sons and daughters of men, the serpent of the abyss, he marches forth with anger and promotes the ultimate delusion, creating much strife and confusion. The time we are in I’m told, is the time long ago foretold. Man, I’m telling you and everyone, Christians are being tested for their years of religious deception, and this is what has caused their long resistance to Christ’s “good confession.” Man, so many are deceived! Answer me this, who comes with great power and wonders and gifts of healing, deceiving the sons of men? Like I said, they’re terribly deceived!

As plain as can be seen, God has sent forth a deceiving spirit to inhabit all those that failed to keep a “good confession.” This is so that they who are deceived will continue to believe all things that are false thus robbing them of all their promised treasures in Heaven. I have thus written and said again and again, “in order that all may be judged who took pleasure in their wicked deceptions.” I declare this story is true and uttered by the Spirit of God in me.

And again, the Word of the Lord doth say…
2 Thessalonians 2:6-12 “And now ye know what withholdeth (Holy Spirit) that he (the deceiver) might be revealed in his time. For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”

Please understand, that God cannot stand, the propensity of man to seek worldly riches and pleasures, forsaking the heavenly treasures. “He withdraws His Spirit from all who refuse the love of His truth,” proclaims the spirit in me. They are those who seek riches, mammon and glory, refusing to accept the ancient and old prophetic story. Failing to refuse the devil and abide not in God’s command, causes Him sorrow as the lost are swallowed and allowed to wander and submit themselves unto the damned.

Stop fueling the fire of those whom are my enemy!” Thus declares our Lord of hosts. Every dollar you spend on them goes towards another man’s revenge. These people seen by their deeds are clearly visible to me. They are the ones who are accurately described by the Word of God and all His servants unwavering, faithful testimonies. In the end we are told by my faithful brethren of old, God’s prophesy unfolds and few are they who submit to the Word, the prophets had foretold.

I beg you please, escape this brood of vipers! For they are holding many back from God’s loving desire. It is as plain as day to me that the wheat and weeds of the field are being separated and soon, the bundles of wheat that are stored up will be separated from the furnace of fire where the weeds are promised to burn. The “so called” Christians today are many yet God’s Word is clear to me, the chosen are few and far between. All the weeds that are burned are what choked out God’s good Word!

Just as the Word instructs, depart from all whom are evil. (See 2 Jn 1:8-11) These are they whom are calling themselves Christian yet to you I’ve revealed they are wolves! They seek to devour the innocent while drawing them into their fold. Deliverance is possible for some but not for those who reject the love of God’s truth, refusing to accept His love and reproof, sometimes spoken through His messengers, God’s Chosen and Elect. I speak by the same Spirit that was accurately described by Paul…

1 Corinthians 2:10-13 “But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, and the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teaches, but which the Holy Ghost thus teaches; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”

In all their years of religious deception they chose to reject the whole of God’s message. I exhort you please, listen to Paul’s reproof for it may bring about healing to you and yours releasing you from bondage and captivity…

1 Corinthians 5:6-13 “Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven, leavens the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, which ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with 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 the covetous, or extortionists, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist; with such an one no not to eat. For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? Do not ye judge them that are within? But them that are without, God judges. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.” This is precisely why I exhort to Christians the way I do for I am not given to judge matters outside the churches of God. That is God’s job!

And to Timothy, Paul exhorts to me and you as well…
2 Timothy 2:21-26 “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honor, sanctified, and meet for the master's use, and prepared unto every good work. Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strife. And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.”

And then Paul warns of that which no one can deny…
2 Timothy 3:1-7 “This, know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.”

Oh son of man, do not despair! For unto us God’s Word is fair. Paul reminds Timothy at last, “All whom desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,” and I add, here now and everywhere. Elsewhere it says since all will suffer let your suffering be that which comes in doing what is right and just to all, placing your trust in a faithful Creator. It is better to suffer this way than to suffer for your wrong doings. Paul says that “evil men and imposters will proceed from bad to worse; both deceiving and being deceived.”

Now I ask you, who are suffering in like measure to Christ for doing what is right? It appears to me that all manner of sin is being exposed in men who have been exalted as the redeemed. Just look at the judgment of God which sweeps across all man's religious institutions! It was the Bible that exposed where Satan seated himself upon a throne. He has thoroughly deceived through man's religious pride and wicked schemes! It was Jesus who first rebuked man's religion and gave greater grace to the humble and afflicted. Submit therefore unto God and resist the devil that he may flee! This I command you in the name of Christ Jesus! Cleanse yourself and be truly purified by His shed blood and broken body lest you stumble and become very sick only later to die in vain!

These days are accelerating as the prophets once foretold, our Lord’s Word thus unfolds. For the Father's Spirit in me declares,
“We are in the last hours yes, even moments of the second day. Soon, the third day will dawn. What happens on the morning of the third day oh son of man?”

Now, please dearly beloved, remember that “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
Again, the Spirit in me speaks and thus declares to all, “We are in that season when most do not care. They cannot endure God’s sound Word and doctrine neither do they receive His loving reproof. They seek to be tickled by mans’ words and false precepts, all filling their selfish desires.” Of them we are told they turn to vain myths and fables of old rejecting the Word and loving reproof God’s servants thus foretold. They have forsaken the “Ancient of Days” the Lord God of Old and His Son they have known not, all His suffering and shed blood they forgot.

Please do not dismiss this word I have sent. For many will reject, God’s messenger sent. I implore you all please, “Listen to Him that He may draw near!” Trust the WORD and only the WORD and nothing but the WORD so help you God. Now make your deeds and tithing count lest God’s Word you discount for He alone is the “One” most worthy to be obeyed. Go to your knees, I beg you please, go to your knees and seek His deliverance from all this ecumenical indifference. Take it upon yourselves to spread this Word and get it around. There are many who cannot say they know. But now that I’ve freely shared this with you, I expect you to freely share it with others.

I pray the above over your lives and hope that you will all be inspired to take a stand. The Spirit that was thus given by God is not timid, weak or indifferent. These are the words and dictates of the Spirit in me and I encourage you who have received this letter, please do not shun or discount these matters. I come not as a man who ascribes to weak religion but a man whose heart is terribly convicted. If it is hard to accept my boldness of speech, please understand, my Lord thus commands, to the people I must speak! With all sincerity and boldness of speech, do not reject what He wants to teach.
Your most humbled and faithful servant and brother to Christ our Lord,

Nicholas A. Stivers, a humbled man, scribe and messenger.
