CHARLO, New Brunswick, March 14, 2024 – If you sit in a building designated as a house of worship and you’re surrounded by people who either don’t believe in God or have sworn an oath to a secret society to serve Satan – who or what are you worshiping? Jeremiah grappled with the same issue 2500 years ago and this is how he dealt with it:

“I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.” (Jeremiah 15:17)

We do no-one a favour when we gather with unbelievers to worship God. It’s not fellowshipping to worship with those who don’t love God or are actively working against him. The worldly churches are filled with these people. They’ve sworn oaths to serve a so-called higher power, who in return has promised them worldly success that includes wealth, prestige, high social standing, and immunity from prosecution. For this, they forfeit their soul and work to bring others under Satan’s control.

Ezekiel wrote extensively about such people. Isaiah, too, as did Jeremiah and many others. They wrote about the temple elders, priests, rulers, and other well-educated authority figures – people who should have known better than to throw their lot in with the devil, but their greed and fear and love for the world got the better of them. Where Jesus, when he was tested in the wilderness, said “No” to the devil’s temptation, countless others have said “Yes”.

The prophets could easily have written about such people today. Back when I used to attend Catholic mass, I would see professors and their families, business owners and their families, politicians and their families, lawyers and their families, etc., all occupying the front pews marked “Reserved” in whatever Catholic church I was attending. I didn’t realize at the time why they were there, though I do remember thinking they didn’t look very happy to be there: It was like they were attending a funeral and I was attending a marriage. I used to think they went to church just out of habit or to fulfill some kind of social norm; now I know they were compelled to go to church (it wasn’t just an obligation; it was a command) and to sit prominently at the front, for reasons I’d rather not discuss here.

But I ask you again – who or what are you worshiping when you sit among devil worshipers? Why they go to church is between them and their chosen gods, but why you sit next to them while they worship their gods is between you and your Creator.

God revealed to me a few years ago that none of the so-called houses of worship are consecrated anymore. They’re no longer God’s houses. They’ve been handed over to the devils that lord over the people who serve them. So I guess when you go into a house of worship and sit next to people who have sworn an oath to serve Satan and Co., you’re actually the interloper in this scenario because they’re in their designated pagan temple.

This is the sorry state of houses of worship today. Now, I’m not talking about genuine born-again believers who gather together to worship in a believer’s home or a barn or a clearing in the woods or even online. That is a holy convocation, wherever that happens, and God will generously bless those get-togethers. Jesus says that wherever two or more are sincerely gathered in his name, there he is among them. The Church will still exist regardless of the demon-worshiping conclaves happening elsewhere, because God’s Church = God’s Kingdom on Earth = Zion, and Zion, as foretold in the Old Testament, is what Jesus firmly established.

But as for the others who feign worship of God while behind the scenes are worshiping the devil – for those people, God has left the building.

“A conspiracy is found… among the inhabitants.

They are turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers and [have gone] after other gods to serve them.

Therefore thus saith the Lord, I will bring evil upon them which they shall not be able to escape;  and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

Then shall [they] go and cry unto the gods unto whom they offer incense: but they shall not save them at all in the time of their trouble.”

Jeremiah 11:9-12
