It’s time to start talking more about the problems within, rather than the problems in the corrupted Church. The “Institutional Church” biblically known as “Mystery Babylon Mother of Harlots” (Revelation 17:5) is full of problems, false doctrines and sinful people. We can continue to analyze each problem with her, but we’ll always find more dirt, more perversions, and more issues because she’s a whore.

She is not the real church of God. She’s a mixture of religion and the world systems. She’s a fake, facade created by Satan, and allowed by God to weed out those who really don’t want to serve him. If people really love the truth, righteousness and holiness, and they see the abominations and iniquity within her, they will come out of her. If they don’t, then they belong to Satan.

I appreciate all the information on the web about the harlot church, all the sermons, articles and videos exposing her wolves and doctrines of demons. This information serves as a warning to Christians and sympathizes with those who’ve been persecuted by the harlot church. So by all means, if the Lord leads you to write more about the harlot church, continue to do so.

There is nothing wrong with exposing sin as long as it isn’t done in hypocrisy. We are commanded to expose darkness (Ephesians 5:11) and judge those within our church, and at least those who claim to be of the true Church (John 7:24, 1 Corinthians 5:12-13). But we still have a job to do within our own souls, something that we may overlook. This article is actually a ministry to me more than to anyone else. The original goal of this website hasn’t changed: to talk about and do what pleases God according to his commandments in the bible. But I believe I’ve been off track and now it’s time to get back on course.

My message to other bloggers is: I hope we focus more on the specific problems from within, just as much as we expose the errors of the harlot church. We can easily point the finger at an evil person, all the while ignoring and forgetting about the commanded changes that must happen within ourselves in order for us to be fully used by God, and receive our rewards in heaven. If we don’t “get better”, we are no better than her, and we’ll end up in the same place she’s going.

Our Job

As I learn more about God’s requirements and what pleases him, I know that the focus of Christianity is: Christ and his growth in me. I need to look more and more like him. Jesus died so that we may have fellowship with the Father, through him and by the Holy Spirit. Belief, confession, repentance and obedience allows this fellowship to take place. Through the Spirit, we are given the power to abstain from sin. But the Christian life is not just about abstaining from sin and telling others how to have fellowship with God.

After salvation, the first and foremost mission is to kill the very nature in us that wants to sin (Romans 8:8-12, 2 Corinthians 7:1). What’s the use of saying, “No” to sin (Titus 2:11-12 NIV) when the very nature of it still remains within. The Bible calls this nature: “the flesh” and we must crucify it (Galatians 5:24). Therefore salvation isn’t a one time event, it’s a process of cleaning out the filthy flesh which the old man, who killed at Calvary (Romans 6:6), within the soul that will prevent salvation in the end. Without holiness, no man can see the Lord (Hebrews 12:14). Our soul must be clean and inhabitable to allow his Spirit to fill us, to the top, and begin to do mighty works through us. For this is why American churches today have no real signs and wonders, and no real power (Mark 16:17-18). We cannot be completely filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18) because of the filth within.

So the mission is to be holy like God is holy (1 Peter 1:16). In order to do this, we must work with the Spirit to identify each root of the flesh and begin to cut it out surgically. The word of God is the knife that fashions and renews our minds, and rids us of the flesh (Romans 12:2).

The Holy Spirit has already given me a list of stuff that he and I work on currently. I may post some of this stuff on this blog. You’ll discover that your list, though it may be as long as mine, will shorten as you find, what seemed to be another problem, are simply stems from a root problem. Example: the fruit of porn is not the problem, but loneliness and lust may be the stem. And then you may discover that the root issue is really this or that. Maybe the root problem comes from a lie that has kept you in this bondage. Therefore, knowing the truth will make you free (John 8:31-32 KJV). Once you uproot the real problem, all the others that stem from it are not to far from being purged.

Defiled from within, not from outside

Once that part of the flesh is uprooted, (and correct me if I’m wrong) you won’t have a weakness for that particular sin anymore – you won’t even struggle to abstain from it. For example: lust, if uprooted, no woman can cause you to lust without your willful rebellion. Certain women dress a certain way to stimulate the lust which is already in a man. When lust is no where to be found within, it cannot be stimulated and grown from the outside world. I base what I’m saying off of Jesus’ words:

¹⁴ And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: ¹⁵ There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. ¹⁶ If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

²⁰ And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. ²¹For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²² Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: ²³ All these evil things come from within, and defile the man. (Luke 7:14-16, 20-23)

We are defiled by what is already in our souls. The world is designed to stimulate that which is already housed in our souls which leads to sin (James 1:13-15). Therefore we must abstain from the sin of this evil world, and simultaneously cut out the very thing from within that can be stimulated to bring forth sin.

Working with the Spirit of God

You have to really ask the Spirit to show you why you act the way you act and do the things you do. You have to become a little introspective as you study the bible and compare yourself to Christ. When you don’t measure up, you have to ask the Spirit “why?” Example: why can’t I speak-up in public and preach the gospel? Or, why am I so proud?

This soul cleansing process only works with those who want to be made whole, holy and spotless, as the bride of Christ will be (Ephesians 5:27). This process only works for those who want to know the truth about themselves, and are willing to agree with God, and change through his power. If you don’t think that your soul is completely filthy, then Salvation isn’t for you. I’ve been a mess since I was born and the Spirit is gradually revealing more filth in my soul.

My list of issues within my dirty soul can be so overwhelming at times that I hate myself. It is then, at this point, that the flesh replies, “Well, just don’t deal with me.” But I know this is just an excuse he uses to get me to procrastinate from putting him on the cutting board. This excuse has worked many times in the past, but that fleshly nature in me has gone far enough. The flesh has held me back from Jesus Christ. Time is running out for the saints, and I cannot manifest Christ in me while the flesh is alive and kicking. The world is about to end and the sons of God must manifest themselves for this end-time harvest.

Every time I walked in the flesh, I believed this lie: that I was so stinking, filthy inside, that I couldn’t do anything about it. Maybe you’ve felt the same way about yourself. And this is true, you and I can’t do anything about this flesh - not without the Spirit. Or, here’s another lie: that God can’t do anything with the flesh because it is so deeply rooted within our souls. Complete crap! God can do anything (Philippians 4:13). I refuse to be overwhelmed by the mess within my soul and submit to it. No. Through the power of the Spirit, it will be killed!

All of us are full of the things Jesus described in Luke 7:21-22, the only difference is: to what degree. As I expose some of my faults and victories on this blog, I know they will resonate with you, and hopefully, my discoveries and surgery can encourage your success in being cleansed from within as well. As we are made free, we can free others.

How to get started. We all know the basics: prayer, fasting and bible study. Prayer is for asking God what’s wrong. Fasting is for weakening the old man so that we can hear God clearer, through his word, which builds our spirit man. Usually, I use a concordance like www.BibleGateway.com and similar software that helps me do deep research into the sins of the soul and the remedies found in the Bible. As we draw near to God, he will draw near to us, and the cleansing will begin (James 4:8). This will take time and we must be patient with ourselves. This stuff hurts too, but I’d rather go through short-term pain, rather than stay in pain for all eternity in the Lake of Fire.
