Don’t be too Quick to Approve of Glamorous Conversions

It looks like Kanye West is promoting Christianity now, and he is holding church services. People are trying to decide what to think about it.

West is interesting to me, because Richie Wilkerson, the son of my former pastor, married him to Kim Kardashian. Richie is all about money and fame. He is in very deep trouble. He is toxic, just like his dad. There is no possibility that he gave the Wests good advice while he was counseling them. When you see Kanye West claiming to belong to Jesus, you can’t just swallow it at face value. You have to ask God what’s happening, and you have to use common sense.

West supposedly turned to God several years ago, and Richie was his mentor. Kim Kardashian visited Trinity Church, and the armorbearers were forced to treat her like a VIP and give her a special seat. Rich Wilkerson made himself look ridiculous on Twitter, calling West, whom he barely knew, “a special friend.”

He always treated famous and wealthy people like that. They would show up briefly, and he would take them into the green room behind the stage and try to buddy up to them. It didn’t have anything to do with God. Famous people can help you raise your own profile, and if a millionaire comes to your church and tithes, you will receive a tremendous amount of money.

It was disgusting when the armorbearers had to honor Kardashian. She had a sex tape out, and she posed in Playboy. She is America’s leading proponent of sexual sin. She teaches girls to be sluts, plain and simple. She has never stopped. When Wilkerson kowtowed to her, it was as though he were bowing to the Whore of Babylon.

He also made the team honor Luther Campbell, AKA Luke Skyywalker, one of the filthiest rappers of the last century.

God is not a respecter of persons. This means he does not like it when you give special treatment to someone who is socially prominent. God wants you to honor everyone who can receive it, and he is especially concerned about the way we treat people who are on the bottom. At Wilkerson’s church, those people were pretty much kept away from the pastors, who had no interest in them at all.

Preachers who want to justify whoring out to the world and associating with prominent sinners like to point out that Jesus spent time with tax collectors and drunks. The difference is that Jesus was a leader, not a follower. He showed up to change sinners. Rich Wilkerson chases unrepentant sinners and lets them mold him.

The words says a believer is to be the head and not the tail. Shallow Christians think that means we get to be on top all the time and push other people around. It’s true that it implies dominance, but it also implies obligation. We are required to lead, even when it means giving up popularity. Wilkerson and his crew are not leaders. They look to see what sinners want them to be and do, and they obey.

As pastors, his bunch doesn’t have an inch of guts among them. They can’t bear to say anything that might drive a person to leave the church and take his money with him. They are incapable of leading.

If you can’t say no, you are a follower.

Jesus reached out to sinners, obviously, but he did it so they could repent, not so they could invade churches, take over, and turn them into nightclubs.

People used to make fun of Trinity and call it “Club Trinity” because the leaders worked so hard at putting on a great show. They spent $72,000 on four spinning lights for the band, and they used smoke machines.

These things are on my mind when I think about the Kanye West story.

I don’t know what famous preachers are saying about Kanye, but here is my guess: they’re shaming Christians who are skeptical, saying, “Don’t judge!” In fact, one of my Youtube favorites has put out a video to that effect. I have been worrying about his ministry, because it seemed to be declining, and now I see confirmation that there are problems.

He also changed the name of his channel. It used to be called Cardboard Box Church, after the little box structure he puts up in public to draw people. Now it’s named after him: Thomas Fischer. I am always leery of ministries named after the people who run them. It’s a way of honoring yourself.

Preachers love, love, love money, and they love virtue-signaling as well as accusing others falsely in order to make themselves look good. Most of them know nearly nothing about God and do not hear from him, so they say whatever benefits their bottom lines. It should not shock anyone if they try to shame Holy-Spirit-led Christians who speak wisdom. They’re led by Satan, not the Holy Spirit, and they say what he tells them to say.

The phrase “don’t judge” has caused the charismatic church more trouble than anything over the last 20 years or so. Jesus never said, “Don’t judge,” all by itself. He spoke a longer message which contained the phrase. Preachers and sin-loving Christians don’t quote the whole message because it shows they’re wrong.

We are supposed to warn other people about sin. We’re not supposed to be self-righteous about it, but we have to do it. It’s in the same passage as the bit about not judging hypocritically.

Think of all the people Jesus criticized. John the Baptist did the same thing. So did Paul. So did Jude. Come on. Think.

Judging isn’t just permissible; it’s mandatory. What matters is why you judge and whether you judge correctly.

I think Kanye West is sincere. I think he is a tormented person because he hears from spirits, and while he has listened to evil spirits for most of his life, he also hears from God, and God is waking him up. That being said, he appears to be a long way from anything resembling powerful, correct Christianity.

The shows West puts on are very much like the kid-pleasing shows Trinity relies on. Lots of flash. Lots of good music. The problem is that there seems to be no substance. I haven’t watched an entire show, but what I’ve seen so far has been very shallow.

People may hear the excellent music and see the spectacular presentation and say, “The Holy Spirit has to be in this.” Come on. Wake up. Liberace put on a better show than Billy Graham ever thought about putting on. If you think a good show proves God is behind things, you should pick up your Bible and go see Beyonce, who is corrupting people like a typhoon of sin.

Are people repenting at West’s services? Are speakers telling people they have to stop sinning? Is there prophecy? Are they casting out demons? Are their healings? Are people being baptized properly and speaking in tongues? I haven’t seen any of this yet. If these things aren’t happening, then Kanye’s services are just man-glorifying backslapping sessions.

It’s not enough to cry and sing and yell that you love Jesus, in front of a crowd, so people will be impressed. The word says that if you love Jesus, you obey him.

It’s disturbing that West is trying to make Jesus hip. Jesus is not, and never will be, hip. The world hates Jesus, as he said, and it always will. The world hates his children, as he said it would. That will never change. Whenever someone preaches a “cool” Jesus, he preaches a lie. He is telling people they can stay in the world of the flesh and still please God. The Bible makes it very clear that the flesh can’t please God.

People may say God is using West and his big services to reach a lot of people, because God “needs” famous people and their ability to reach millions. That’s a complete lie. The age of famous preachers and huge churches is ending, not beginning. That whole business was a failure. Satan ran it. The real church is going to be driven underground, and God is preparing us for that. We won’t be able to have big fancy churches. Christianity will spread from person to person, in small groups. That’s how it has always spread. The successes of the big churches were illusions.

Satan has never needed famous people or big gatherings to work effectively. Sin and iniquity spread like the flu, from one individual to another. It works just fine, and Satan got the idea from God, who thought the idea up first.

I think there is a lot of hope for Kanye West, but he is a baby right now. No one should be following him. He doesn’t know anything.

If you see his secular career flop, and famous people start shunning him, then you should be aware that God may really be working in him. If God gets anywhere with Kanye West, his associates will flee, and his wife is likely to follow.

Popularity is a mark of a failed Christian. Jesus assured us that the world would hate and persecute us. You can be popular within a limited circle, but that’s about it.

The other day I told someone I saw more hope for Kanye West than for his wife and Richie Wilkerson. West is a strange guy, but he is willing to go against the crowd, and that may save him.

In other news, God has emphasized something he told me long ago.

The other day I saw a Mark Hemans video, and he told someone demons had entered her when she got tattooed. He says demons like to enter with tattoos, and he is against tattooing. In that respect, he is aligned with God, who forbade the Jews to do body modification, other than circumcision.

In ancient times, body modifications were used to glorify false gods and to honor the dead. In fact, the dead were often worshiped as gods. For a long, long time, tattoos were rightly considered disgraceful among Christians. A tattoo was something you got when you were 18, in the navy, and very drunk. It was something you later regretted. Now many Christians are obsessed with tattoos. You go to churches and see them covered up with them.

The “judge not” obsessives have a field day with people who are against tattooing. They love to point to tattooed people who are supposedly leading wonderful lives. They used to circulate memes featuring a very prominent young man who was highly successful and covered with tattoos.

His name was Aaron Hernandez.

The murderer. Who killed himself in prison.

The memes dried up after he was arrested.

Some people actually claim God told them to get tattooed. I’m not saying it could not happen, but it probably does not. God hates tattoos. A tattoo is a mockery of the Torah, which was made by marking animal skin. It also defaces the body, which was created in God’s image.

There are Christians who say tattoos are fine because we’re not under the law. Here’s something people need to know: we are still under a law. We are not under the law of the written word, but we are under the law of the Holy Spirit. I know this is terrible news to many people. What the Holy Spirit commands, we must do, just as the Jews had to obey the dietary laws and keep the sabbath. The Holy Spirit is still against tattooing, and by the way, he doesn’t like marijuana, either. He doesn’t like a lot of things that are suddenly permissible in our declining culture.

People still use tattoos to honor false gods and the dead, in case you have not noticed. I don’t just mean Maoris and Africans. I mean your American neighbors.

I’ve been against tattooing for a long time. The fad came to us not just from idolaters but from criminals, just like chin beards, head-shaving, and sagging pants. Prison is an earthly picture of hell. It’s a foretaste of hell, and it mainly traps people who are hellbound.

Prisoners are the biggest losers in society. They are the tail, not the head. They have no rights. They receive no honor. They have no liberty. They can’t even control their persons. When you’re a prisoner, your handlers, who may be of the opposite sex, can strip you naked and look up your rear end pretty much whenever they feel like it. Then can put you in restraints. They can blast you with hoses.

At some point around 1990, Americans began changing their appearance so they would look like convicts. That was a very bad thing. You become what you imitate. By imitating convicts, we prove we love evil, and if we love evil, we hate good.

Why does Satan love body modification? Because it allows the demons that control you to turn you into a replica of themselves.

God killed the physical bodies of demons in the flood. Now they want bodies very badly. We supply those bodies by inviting them in. When a demon makes a home in you, it wants to redecorate. It’s like taking over a church and turning it into a mosque. It marks territory. It allows demons to express themselves through us.

Does this remind you of anyone else?

What does the Holy Spirit do when he comes to live in you?

He cleans you up. He will tell you to get rid of offensive clothing. He is likely to tell you to get your tattoos lasered. He changes your speech. He changes your posture and your facial expressions.

I started thinking about tattooing while I watched Mark Hemans deliver people, and God put things into words for me. God told me demons want to create man in their image.

That’s the essence of body modification.

There is always symmetry in the supernatural. To learn about God, look at Satan. To learn about Satan, look at God. God creates people in his image, and evil spirits want the same power. They want nice filthy vessels to live in. Vessels whose very appearance, without words, thoughts, or actions added to it, is an insult to God.

I know there are lots of preachers out there who have gaudy, trashy tattoo “sleeves,” and maybe these people do some very good things. I don’t care. God never changes, and I’m not here to make excuses for people who don’t want to admit fault. Accept it, or go ahead and be angry with me. Doesn’t matter to me, because I will still say the truth.

I assure you, there are a lot of tattooed preachers who hate their tattoos and would back up everything I’m saying. The fact that a person has a tattoo doesn’t mean he likes it or approves of it.

The body-modification craze has gone off the rails, which proves it has a supernatural foundation. When things don’t make sense in the natural, they make sense in the supernatural, because there is always a supernatural cause for things that do not make sense.

People are cutting their noses off. They are cutting fingers off. They are castrating themselves. That’s not self-expression. It’s self-destruction and the expression of the selves of demons that live in us.

Sex-change surgery is body modification. Giving anti-puberty hormones to demon-controlled kids is body modification. Huge, creepy, breast implants, which are extremely popular, are body modifications.

This is fascinating stuff, but anyone who gets it and talks about it will be dismissed as crazy. Satan always attacks and falsely accuses anyone who turns the light on and exposes the roaches.

On the positive side, God gave me a more pleasant revelation. He thinks we’re cute.

The other day, I found out what agape, the Greek word used to describe God’s love, means. It means warm, affectionate love. It doesn’t mean a sense of duty that makes you so determined to help people that you become a permanent doormat and punching bag. It doesn’t mean you have to give both of your kidneys away to strangers. It doesn’t mean you levitate and glow, or that you always have a silly, pretentious grin on your face.

I learned about love from my mother. She adored me. When I was a little kid and my sister was at school, she used to take me places and spend time with me. We used to make paper boats and put them in the waters of Tampa Bay. We used to go to the zoo at Lowry Park. Sometimes she would put me on a bed and just lie next to me and look at me.

I think a lot of kids don’t have experiences like that. Many mothers don’t love their kids, and many who do can’t show it.

It’s natural to love small, helpless things that need your care, especially if they’re your children. This is why abortion is so sick. We attack and murder the smallest, most defenseless, and most in need of our love.

Parents don’t love their kids out of duty. They love them because they’re cute. Something about the smallness of children and their dependence on parents touches the heart in a special way. It’s not rational, and it doesn’t take work. You don’t have to struggle to love your kids. Not unless something very odd is going on.

Today, I felt that I could see myself as my mother did. I thought about the little things she bought me and the things she did for me. I took those things for granted, but she did them out of unstoppable love, and I’m sure she wished I understood that. She wanted me to understand the love she felt as she was doing things for me. I really didn’t.

I can’t go back and be good to my late mother, and my dad is also dead, but I still have one parent I can appreciate, and I can let his love for others flow through me.

Compared to God we are very small and defenseless. When he sees a person struggling alone with problems, it’s like seeing a lonely kid no one wants to adopt and help.

When God saves you, it’s not unlike stopping to pick up a puppy you see sitting beside a busy road. That’s what motivates him.

We can’t be controlled by love all the time, because there is also justice. We can’t always be nice. God doesn’t want us all to be weepy vegetarians who run animal shelters. Not during this age. The age of total peace and love won’t arrive until after the tribulation, and trying to force it to come now is sin. In this age, sometimes we have to be very hard. The world can’t receive perfect peace yet. But when we restrain ourselves and hold back, it should be for a good reason.

Very interesting.

I am not an exemplary Christian, but he certainly tells me a lot of things. That’s because of prayer in tongues. If you want to hear things yourself, instead of just imagining that what you already believe and want to hear came from God, you can go to the same source.
