The Harlot Church And Spiritual Fornication

Ancient Israel, a Lesson to the Church Today…
There are much symbolic similarities between the time that the prophet Jeremiah warned Israel – the people of Judah before her captivity to Babylon and the Church today. The people of Judah received warning after warning, rebuke after rebuke, warning them of the impending disaster.
However, they chose to disobey The Voice of The Lord and as such judgment and chastisement fell on Judah and she was carried away to Babylon into captivity where she spent a period of seventy years.
The people of Judah rejected the message of the Prophet Jeremiah; they rejected the counsel of God’s Word and as such were totally given over to the sword of the King of Babylon.
The Lord made sure that He placed exit routes for the people of Judah to escape the impending judgment but repeatedly they refused and were stubborn at heart and very rebellious towards The Lord God of Heaven and Earth.
Interestingly when Judgment came to the people of Judah as we read in Jeremiah 39, not only was there judgment on the religious establishment but even the political and economical establishments, the very things that the Israelites trusted is what The Lord judged and threw down.

The Book of Jeremiah, a Warning to the Church today…
Today the Church of Jesus Christ, which ironically loves to call itself the “spiritual Israel” is doing just the same thing. The Church has and is committing the exact same sin that The Lord alludes to in Jeremiah 3. The Book of Jeremiah should be a warning to all those who call themselves Christians today. As a matter of fact Jeremiah 3 is an indictment against the Church today for forsaking their personal relationship with Jesus Christ and going after Man.
Looking carefully at Jeremiah 3, The Lord states His case against the people of Judah and today symbolically stating this same case against the Church or those who call themselves by the Name of The Lord – Christians…
Bishop George Bloomer
Jeremiah 3:1-25
(1) They say, If a man put away his wife, and she go from him, and become another man’s, shall he return unto her again? shall not that land be greatly polluted? but thou hast played the harlot with many lovers; yet return again to me, saith the LORD.
(2) Lift up thine eyes unto the high places, and see where thou hast not been lain with. In the ways hast thou sat for them, as the Arabian in the wilderness; and thou hast polluted the land with thy whoredoms and with thy wickedness.
The Lord clearly spells out to Israel that they were playing the Harlot. They were in love with other lovers and had forsaken The Lord to whom they were engaged. The church today with exception of a few remnant Christians is too engaged in this type of harlotry. So, what is Harlotry anyway?

The question is then why would The Lord rightly accuse Israel of playing the Harlot or committing Adultery? How did Israel commit spiritual fornication and Adultery? How does the Church commit spiritual fornication and Adultery today? Why would the Church be accused of playing the Harlot or committing Spiritual fornication?
How Israel committed spiritual adultery
Ezekiel 16:26
(26) Thou hast also committed fornication with the Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flesh; and hast increased thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger.
The Lord spells out His case explicitly against Israel’s Adultery sins in Ezekiel 16 and Ezekiel 23. The language is symbolic of a wife who departs from her lawful husband for complete strangers. Israel committed spiritual adultery by going to the Egyptians and trusting in the hand of Egypt.
Remember The Lord delivered His people from Israel after more than 400 years of bondage and slavery. They now were returning to the very same nation that kept them in bondage for help while refusing and rejecting The Lord’s Hand over them. Egypt represents the world and worldliness and system of the world.
Israel not only decided to trust in Egypt but also adopted and worshiped the idols of Egypt and as such departed from The Holy God. This is the adultery they committed just like the church is doing today.
Ezekiel 16:28-30
(28) Thou hast played the whore also with the Assyrians, because thou wast unsatiable; yea, thou hast played the harlot with them, and yet couldest not be satisfied.
(29) Thou hast moreover multiplied thy fornication in the land of Canaan unto Chaldea; and yet thou wast not satisfied herewith.
(30) How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
Political Christianity, is a Church and State Adultery…
Israel also committed adultery with the Assyrians and the Chaldeans or Babylonians. These nations are symbolic of world systems and powers. Israel also adopted many gods from these nations and built high places in which they scarified to these gods. They turned their backs against The Holy God Almighty who delivered them from Egyptian bondage and brought them into the promised a land. They totally trusted in the world systems to help them out. This was pure spiritual adultery because they forsook The Lord.
Ezekiel 16:32-34
(32) But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
(33) They give gifts to all whores: but thou givest thy gifts to all thy lovers, and hirest them, that they may come unto thee on every side for thy whoredom.
(34) And the contrary is in thee from other women in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to commit whoredoms: and in that thou givest a reward, and no reward is given unto thee, therefore thou art contrary.
However, Israel’s adultery was even more preposterous in that they gave gifts to the ‘men’ they lured so as to commit fornication with them. This would be symbolic of Israel working hard to get the attention of foreign nations to seek their help. In other words, Israel bought or bribed the heathen nations for their protection and services. They bought to have world systems and bought to have foreign gods of stone, wood, silver and gold…it is love of the world, its systems, its values, its gods, its idols, its riches… This was and is still spiritual adultery with fatal consequences.
How the church commits spiritual fornication
Mark 8:36-38
(36) For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
(37) Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
(38) Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.
It is clear that Israel forsook The Lord simply because they fell in love with the world and world systems. They loved the world and the things in the world and as such their hearts were taken over by the gods of world. Such is the same with many Christians today. They have been deceived into trusting world systems, loving the world and the things of this world just like Israel did. Brethren, this is spiritual adultery and not ought to be so among true saints.
The Lord Jesus Christ asks, “what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?” The church has been deceived by phony preachers and pastors who are busy telling the church that it is okay to gain riches, love this world, gain more materials, enjoy life everyday, become the best they can be in the world etc…that they can be on top of this world and live like kings since they are sons and daughters of a king (certainly not Jesus Christ).
And sadly yes, many in the church claim that such a gospel has worked for them and that they are rich and prosperous as a result… One preacher in America claims that he drives a Rolls Royce cars, he has a Gulf Stream Jet, recently bought a 2.5 Million Dollar condo in New York and as such encourages his believers to give more so they too can live such a lifestyle…this is loving and gaining the whole world yet losing one’s soul.

Adulterous Generation is ashamed of The Cross…
Interestingly Jesus Christ speaks about those who are ashamed of Him in this adulterous generation and how He will be ashamed of them before His Father. Today many are ashamed of The Life of Jesus Christ, The Life of The Cross, The Life of fellowship in the suffering in Christ Jesus, the life of dying to self and the things of the world. Many Christians grieve the heart of The Father by loving the world and the things in it. Brethren this is spiritual fornication and adultery and the consequences are grave.
What The Lord means by adulterous generation is not that they are adulterous physically alone, which is true and am not trivializing it. However, the greatest form of adultery I believe The Lord is speaking of here is spiritual adultery; a generation that forsakes The Lord and loves, trusts, and worships this world…and that is our current “Christian” generation…
James 4:1-3
(1) From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?
(2) 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.
(3) Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts.
What Causes Wars Among You?
James the Apostle asks Christians that what would cause infightings among them… Is it not desires of the flesh and love for this world? Adultery and fornication always bring other sins with it like lying, hate, murder, just to name a few.
Love for the world and the things of the world will always bring works of the flesh among Christians as each party competes to gain the accolades and temporal glories of this world. Most Christian church fights are over power, fame, and money, and who should control what, as the books of James even expounds more on this subject…
James 4:4-5
(4) 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.
(5) Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
Friendship with The world is enmity with God…
It is clear here that love for and friendship with the world is enmity with God. James refers to such Christians as adulterers and adulteresses. Those who continue on this path by preaching a gospel that causes Christians to love the world are engaging the church to commit spiritual adultery.
Such preachers have turned the church into a spiritual whore. The consequences for such actions are severe as The Lord makes it clear that He yearns over us with jealousy. The Lord is a jealousy God (Holy Jealousy) who will not allow His Bride to be turned into a harlot. The Love of the world, Prosperity Gospel, Dominionism Gospel, Political Christianity, Church and State partnerships, are all marks of a harlot Church and from such flee…
1 John 2:15-17
(15) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
(16) For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
(17) And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.
We are cautioned not to love the world or the things of the world but our love should be love for Jesus Christ and His Holy Word. The Lord is our Maker and our Husband; He will provide and protect us. We do not need top trust in the world systems to be protected and provided for. Many Christian leaders are busy preaching a gospel of love for the world, political Christianity, Dominionism, prosperity gospel, enjoying life today etc but all is not of the Father but of Satan…this is spiritual fornication, flee from that brethren…
2 Peter 2:14-15
(14) Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: an heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children:
(15) Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness;
Peter the apostle sheds more light on the adulterous preachers…they have eyes full of adultery and cannot cease from sin… They have a heart inclined towards covetousness or materialism…and have gone the way of Balaam…
This is very descriptive of the Prosperity gospel preachers and Purpose Driven and Church Growth Movement. Balaam represents those preachers who have made it a habit to preach and pray for the sick for money, they sell their sermons, they sell healings, and they sell prophesies and even now in Mega Churches, they sell front row seats… Such preachers and churches are harlot churches and harlot preachers, from such flee…
Humility, a remedy to Spiritual Adultery…
James 4:6-10
(6) But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
(7) Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
(8) Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
(9) Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
(10) Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
The remedy to spiritual adultery is total submission and obedience to The Lordship of Jesus Christ and being accountable to His Holy word…
Israel Married to The Lord….
The Lord took the relationship between Israel and Himself as that of The Lord Himself being engaged and or Married to Israel and this is the same thing with The Church today. Our Relationship with The Lord is symbolic of being engaged and or Married to The Lord Jesus Christ…
Isaiah 54:5-8
(5) For thy Maker is thine husband; the LORD of hosts is his name; and thy Redeemer the Holy One of Israel; The God of the whole earth shall he be called.
(6) For the LORD hath called thee as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, and a wife of youth, when thou wast refused, saith thy God.
(7) For a small moment have I forsaken thee; but with great mercies will I gather thee.
(8) In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a moment; but with everlasting kindness will I have mercy on thee, saith the LORD thy Redeemer.
Isaiah clearly prophesies to Israel that her Maker is Her Husband and that is The Lord God of Heaven and Earth… Israel’s relationship to The Lord was symbolic of clearly being married to The Lord but Israel chooses to betray The Lord and go after other Men… In this verse The Lord promises to renew this relationship after Israel goes through chastisement…
Jeremiah 3:20-22
(20) Surely as a wife treacherously departeth from her husband, so have ye dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, saith the LORD.
(21) A voice was heard upon the high places, weeping and supplications of the children of Israel: for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten the LORD their God.
(22) Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings. Behold, we come unto thee; for thou art the LORD our God.
As we read in Jeremiah 3, Israel and Judah are again depicted in a symbolic husband and wife relationship with The Lord. Judah as a wife to The Lord deals treacherously and departs from her Husband, The Lord… She commits adultery or whoredom… She perverted the ways of The Lord… Today this would be symbolic of the Church; she has departed from The Lord and perverted The Way of Truth…
Jeremiah 31:31-33
(31) Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
(32) Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was a husband unto them, saith the LORD:
(33) But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.
Again we see the Husband Wife Symbolic relationship here between The Lord and Israel… The Lord clearly says “I was Husband unto them…” The Lord promises to renew this relationship but under a New Covenant…
Israel rebuked for her whoredoms…
Ezekiel 16:30-32
(30) How weak is thine heart, saith the Lord GOD, seeing thou doest all these things, the work of an imperious whorish woman;
(31) In that thou buildest thine eminent place in the head of every way, and makest thine high place in every street; and hast not been as a harlot, in that thou scornest hire;
(32) But as a wife that committeth adultery, which taketh strangers instead of her husband!
The Lord clearly rebukes Israel for forsaking Him and committing whoredom and adultery instead of seeking relationship with her Husband, The Lord God of Heaven and Earth… Today many Christians have taken on the same role of an imperious whorish woman by committing adultery with The World and forsaking a Personal relationship with their Husband Jesus Christ…
The Imperious Church…
The indictment in this verse is very great…the work of an imperious whorish woman… Imperious meaning…

* Authoritative
* Commanding

* Superior
* Haughty

The Church has ceased being submissive before The Lord and taken on the road of becoming domineering, Haughty and arrogant while committing acts of whoredom by loving the world, the things of the world, and worship of Man…
Israel did exactly that and sought help and trust from other Men and rejected The Lord her Husband but what followed was judgment and chastisement… The Church today is about to go through that as well…
The Chastisement of The Lord…
Hosea 2:6-7
(6) Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and make a wall, that she shall not find her paths.
(7) And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
The Lord speaks about a chastisement, a judgment against Israel in that she will seek her lovers and fail to find them. The Lord would bring about situations that are very adverse and troublesome, and severe that would cause Israel to return to The Lord her First and True Husband… That is what will happen to the Church…
She (Church) will be taken through the Tribulation period for her purification…during this time she will know that she was deceived by evil Men and she will return to Jesus Christ her rightful Husband…as we read in Rev 7:14 about this great multitude that comes out of the great tribulation having washed her garments in the Blood of The Lamb…
The Church as Wife, Bride of The Lamb…
2 Corinthians 11:2-4
(2) For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ.
(3) But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
(4) For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him.

In the New Testament, marriage again is symbolic of the Relationship between The Church and Jesus Christ, the Church being the Wife or Bride and Christ Jesus being The Husband. Paul the Apostle alludes to the preaching of The True Gospel that will present The Church as a chaste virgin to Christ…
Sadly today, the gospel being preached is ‘Another Gospel’, one which does NOT present the church as a chaste virgin to Christ but one which presents the Church to Man; a gospel that makes the church sin, love the world, trust the world, live like the world and causes ungodliness and impurity…
The Chaste Virgin…
A Chaste Virgin is one who is pure in Christ Jesus, as we check for the meaning of the word Chaste…Pure

So, what type of Gospel are you listening to? Popular Gospels toady such as the ‘Prosperity Gospel’, ‘Dominion Gospel’, ‘Political Christianity Gospel’, and ‘Purpose Driven Life Gospels’, among other false doctrines have largely turned the church into a Harlot and a Whore rather than a chaste virgin before The Lord…
Ephesians 5:21-33
(21) Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
(22) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
(23) For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the savior of the body.
(24) Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
(25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
(26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
(27) That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
(28) So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
(29) For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
(30) For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
(31) For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
(32) This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
(33) Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
The Church Must Submit to Christ Not Man…
Paul, The Apostle explicitly shows us the symbolism of marriage insofar as The Church and Christ is concerned; the Church being the Bride or the Wife and Christ being the Husband. The Church is supposed to submit to Christ Jesus and NOT Man as it is today…
Every believer in Christ Jesus should submit to the Authority of Jesus Christ and NOT Man, Churches, Denominations, and Bible Seminaries…these are NOT the Husband to the Church and have no Authority to demand submissiveness outside Christ Jesus… As a matter of fact these self proclaimed institutions such as Bible Seminaries, Denominations, and Pastors etc have usurped the True authority of Christ in the Church and demanded accountability to their institutions, to Man, and not to Christ…
In plain language, they are committing great abominations…they are trying to steal and rape the Bride of Christ… It sounds harsh, doesn’t it? Well, that should cause us to awake to the seriousness of our Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ… The Church belongs NOT to Institutions but to Christ Jesus and it is to Christ that the Church be presented as Chaste Virgin and NOT Man!!!
Jesus Christ Takes care of His Church…
A Husband takes care of his wife and family and does not do so through other men or institutions. Jesus Christ does NOT need denominations, institutions and other men to take care of His Church… He does take care of His Church Himself…
Does that mean I am against Leadership? No, as a matter of fact True Christian Leaders endeavor to preach the True Gospel that Present the Church as a Chaste Virgin before Christ Jesus… What we have in many churches today are wolves and false apostle or apostate leaders who endeavor to preach a false gospel that presents the church as a whore and harlot to the world – a church that loves the world… That is why we have a huge emphasis on the prosperity, Dominionism, political Christianity, purpose driven gospels in the church today…gospels of Man calling for submission to Man and Not Christ…
Christ Jesus is The True Husband to the True Church concerned with purifying the Saints or the Church so as to present to Himself a pure, holy, and glorious Church without sport or wrinkle… I sometimes wonder what type of bibles preachers read today…
Ephesians 5 is very clear as to the desire of Christ Jesus for His Church…it is NOT to drive the most expensive cars, buy the latest Gulf Stream Jets, wear designer clothes, have “Christian Presidents”, have the largest Mega Church Building, the best Mansion and Bungalow in town, the largest bank account etc… These things are sought after by those who love the world and the riches of this world…and are a product of a gospel of Man that seeks to turn the church into a whore and an adulteress… Watch out!

Sanctifies the Church with Washing of The Word…
As we see in Ephesians 5, it is Christ Jesus, The Husband to the Church, who loves it so much that He gave His life for Her…it is He, Christ who cleanses the Church and purifies the Church with washing of water by His Word; The True Gospel that cleanses and sanctifies us, preparing us as a Bride without sport or wrinkle for the Coming of The Lord Jesus Christ… We belong to Jesus Christ and NOT Man and Institutions of Man…
One should take serious note to the fact that The Lord cleanses us, His Church, His Bride with the washing of The Word…this is the True Gospel, the Whole Counsel of God’s word that conforms us to the likeness of Jesus Christ and death to sin, self, and love of this world. Those who reject the whole counsel of God’s Word and instead pick and choose that which fits them are rejecting the cleansing by the washing of the word from The Lord.
Revelation 21:1-2
(1) And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.
(2) And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
The Saints are seen as the New Jerusalem – the Holy gathering of all Saints in Christ Jesus both from physical Israel and the Gentiles…these are the True Israel of God, the bride of Jesus Christ. It is to this glory that The Lord sanctifies us for such a time that He will be glorified among His Saints.
The Glory to which The Lord Jesus Christ has called us is not the fading and perishing glories of this world, it is not conquering nations in the name of Jesus Christ, it is not Dominionism, and getting all the riches one can in this world, it is not gaining this world while loosing one’s soul…it is a life of being purified and sanctified in Christ Jesus that we may be conformed to Christ’s likeness.
Revelation 21:9-10
(9) And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb’s wife.
(10) And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,
The Bride of Christ is recognized in Heaven and yes, these are they who accept the disciplines of The Lord, the chastisements of The Lord that they may walk holy before God and may be worthy to be called the Bride of The lamb, not having a righteousness of their own but that of Jesus Christ.
Harlots have no place in Heaven…
However, harlots and whores have no place in Heaven, you can make the choice to day by choosing to submit to The Lord Jesus Christ and His disciplines or rebel and become the imperious and adulterous wife who will be cast out. Harlots and Whores have no place in Heaven.
This is a message that I hope will deepen your personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that you reconsider your priorities. Loving this world is committing whoredom and committing spiritual fornication.
Those who place their trust in Man, Man institutions, Political Christianity, Dominionism, Pastors, Materialism, Riches of this world, Prosperity Gospel, and other temporal glories of this world are simply selling their birthright like Esau did for soup, they are like Judas betraying The Lord for thirty pieces of silver, they are like the foolish virgins who did not prepare for the coming of the bridegroom…
Brethren, let us awake to the higher calling of a life submissive and totally obedient to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, for the time is very short…for the midnight cry is out and loud, awake from your slumber, the Bridegroom cometh!
Spiritual Adultery goes along with Balaam Prosperity gospel…
Revelation 2:14
(14) But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.
Again we see here The Lord Himself rebuke the Church concerning the teachings of Balaam and the issue of fornication. Balaam represents today’s prosperity preachers who preach and prophesy for money and force the church to eat food sacrificed to idols being symbolic of teachings designed to make people love the things and systems of this world. The best example in this category is the teachings of TD Jakes, Joyce Meyer (Enjoying Life Everyday), and Rick Warren with his Purpose Driven life.
Such teachings make believers love the world and conform to the standards of this world while rejecting the True authority of Jesus Christ. Christians who feed from such teachings – food scarified to idols, always end up chasing after the best house, best car, best job, climbing the corporate ladder, Political Christianity, Dominionism etc. John Hagee recently started a Political Christianity Movement that seeks to have the USA nuke Iran so as to protect Israel…
Millions of Christians in the USA were deceived that if they supported GW Bush for President of the USA, they would “take America back” to being a Christian nation. Many did support the “Christian” president only to discover that they were deceived…but it was too late, they were forced into spiritual adultery when they trusted Political Christians to save them… Brethren, lets watch and take heed, lets not be deceived Political Christianity will not save anyone!
Pastor Jessica Kayanja
Spirit of Jezebel…
Revelation 2:20-23
(20) Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
(21) And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.
(22) Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.
(23) And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.
Jezebel is symbolic of spiritual adultery and fornication. Jezebel is also symbolic of the imperious woman. Jezebel controlled King Ahab and led Israel to worship foreign gods. Today the same spirit reigns in many churches turning churches into places of spiritual adultery, and churches that are imperious to the Lord. Jezebel spirits always lead the church to fall in love with the world and systems of the world.
The Lord warns that those who commit this grievous sin will be cast into the tribulation. The meaning here is that they will not be spared or kept or protected through the tribulation but will be given over to a reprobate and sinful mind to total apostasy… The Lord even states that He will kill her children with death… This is symbolic of spiritual death to all the off springs of such churches that practice spiritual adultery…there are no true disciples in such churches…they are dead churches though physically they might look rich and wealthy on the outside…

Come out from among them, Be Ye Separate…
Revelation 18:1-5
(1) And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.
(2) And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
(3) For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
(4) And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
(5) For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
The Lord’s Command is that we leave such adulterous Christians institutions….that we come out and be separate and have nothing to do with churches or pastors engaged in spiritual fornication. The end result of churches that practice spiritual adultery is that they will be destroyed with fire…
