The Hour Of Temptation

This is the HOUR of temptation for the Church. A temptation is a time of challenge that God has set for change. He that has an ear to hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches is kept from the hour of temptation (Rev.3:10). They will not resist the Holy Ghost, but accept the changes that God is initiating, and will be prepared for the time of restoration.

The temptation that the Church is now facing is in the challenge to accept the path that God has ordained for the Church to return to her first love by returning to her first works. Satan has already presented the option to all pastors. Strike a deal with him and he will evangelize the world for you and bring many into your churches.

We have seen some of these compromising
deals with the devil through

the recent laughter movement

the 'money cometh' campaign

the 'healing revivals'

puppetry

pageantry

visits to the 'holy land'

the prayer of Jabez

the 'shepherding movement'

the 'faith' movement,

massive seminars hosted by false teachers

and the prophetic schools hosted by one who is not a prophet.

the 'gathering' of apostles by one who is not called as an apostle

Many shall try to fulfill the vision and fail. This was prophesied in Dan.11:14. We see this also took place in the days of Jesus as many false Messiahs arose. We don't need a new Messiah, we already have Jesus Christ. God has given a vision for the purification and restoration of the Body of Christ, and it cannot be fulfilled except through the vessel that God has chosen, and selected, and prepared to fulfill it.

For the past 20 years God has been preparing the Body for the restoration of truth. This restoration will come through the Spirit of God through the apostle of the Second 8th Week, the apostle Eric. God challenges the Church to reject the counsel of Satan and come for their doctrinal cleansing. The hour of temptation is now upon you and God is challenging your choices.

The same challenges that God put forth to the 7 churches of Asia, He is putting to pastors today. If the 7 churches of Asia did not repent, God would remove their candlestick. This means that their faith would not be sanctified.

Again, God is saying to each individual pastor that names the name of Christ, "REPENT!!" You are now facing the HOUR of God removing your candlestick if you do not repent.

Pastors need to take the crown off their own head and put the crown back on Jesus' head by accepting His headship through apostles.

GOD IS CHALLENGING THESE THINGS:

	The doctrine of the Nicolatians --- the mixing of covenants
	The doctrine of Balaam --- indifference to true spiritual government (apostles)
	The doctrine of Jezebel --- prophesying Adam in place of prophesying Christ
	The murder of Antipas --- Satan's seat was exposed and Satan retaliated
	Outreach programs of Sardis --- Evangelizing the world into a corrupt faith
	Carnal christians oppressing those born of the Spirit --- The tares dominating the wheat. Satan tare'-orized the Church
	Serving God without the priesthood
	Materialism

This word is sent out to all the pastors and televangelists because you are holding the wheat captive, because you have accepted Satan's counsel. In your present state you symbolize Pharaoh who agreed to let the children of Israel go only under the conditions that he set.

Pastors, you are not in a position to set any conditions for release, or bargain with God. If you overcome this temptation and the challenge and come now and

accept your doctrinal cleansing, and

accept the headship of Christ through the apostle's office,

God will allow you to keep your flock, and you will be instructed through the Spirit by the apostles how to feed them properly, and nurture and care for the saints of the Lord.

The patience of God has been demonstrated in the book of Revelation when He spoke of "that woman Jezebel" who gave herself over to express the inspiration of another spirit. She taught and seduced God's servants to follow this inspiration. Satan is not satisfied with your delusion pastor, he wants to use you to delude the servants of God. Rev.2:20-22

God said, "I gave her space to repent of her (spiritual) fornication, and she repented not." Why didn't Jezebel repent? For the same reasons that pastors and teachers and missionaries and evangelists and prophets find it hard to repent today. Jezebel thought she had the 'spirit of discernment' and followed the 'Berean Way' and tested all of the inspiration against the false system that she had proved for herself. The Christ of her own making had replaced Jesus Christ the Saviour.

This is why she remained steadfast in her perverse doctrinal practices which led christians

	to seek contact with God without a commitment of faith to Him
	through the boundaries of the covenant He provided through Jesus Christ.

When Jezebel did not repent God CAST her into a bed, and them that commit (spiritual) adultery with her. We see that there are spiritual consequences for spiritual decisions. God allows the sovereignty of Adam's choice, but sets a policy that addresses that choice. As Jezebel of old, the pastors and teachers and televangelists of today are in the same situation, teaching the servants of God how to commit spiritual adultery.

History is repeating itself. This spirit of anti-Christ uses the wrong tools for faith, but provides the believer with a sense of progression through the flattery of their own literature. They are joining themselves to another spirit other than Christ and calling that 'faith' in God.

This is the HOUR of temptation for the Church because God's patience is now at an end. Those pastors, teachers, televangelists, evangelists, missionaries, prophets, and apostles who do not come to the headship of Christ for doctrinal cleansing, God will again CAST them into the bed they have made. In other words, God will command the seducing spirits that you are under to increase their power over you and you will be sealed in the delusion of your choice; thinking you are serving God, you are serving Satan. If this is what you are choosing over God, then this is where you will stay.

Second 8th Week Ministries recognizes and respects the rights of each individual to pursue and choose for themselves how they will privately or publicly worship God. The world cannot be 'forced' into one religion.

We are discussing how God is now separating the Tares from the Wheat and preparing the Wheat for the end time harvest. The Wheat will freely choose to have their faith separated from the Tares. God will bring them into one mind concerning the doctrine of Christ, and they will be free to serve God with perfect faith. The Tares are free to do as they choose.

Jesus told the Jews, "Think not that you have Abraham to your father...." Jesus said this because the Jews no longer reflected the true tradition of faith. They reflected on Abraham for a point of authority and false confidence. To the pastors Jesus also speaks, "Think not that you have faith because of the tradition of your founders."

If there is no restoration of truth there will be no harvest. God is not planning to evangelize the world and bring the lost souls into a failing Church system. Pastors are openly admitting that they cannot keep their people, and all their plans to show the world the love of Jesus Christ does not bring the unity they sought. This is why God is separating the Wheat from the Tares.

Pastors need to decide whether they are going to continue with the failed system or accept God's invitation to come into one faith.
