August 12, 2003 journal, Revelation Now was shipped today, the old religion, the pagan church. I am a student because I learn something every day. Today I have learned that the term old religion means the old ways of paganism. All my life in the church I've heard about the old-time religion. Now the contemporary church has returned to paganism and in between the Protestant church has converted pagan practices to ritual worship. If you want to see total paganism then look at the Catholic Church. Talking to either church and speaking of these problems is as stonewall as what Ann Richards said last night about the president not being distracted by the question. I picked up a church bulletin where a pastor had written of tithing, saying a man when he make $50 a week gave 5. When he made $500 a week he gave 50. Now he makes 5,000 per week but complained that he cannot give 500. That’s a sweet little story and very convincing but the facts are that statement is materialistic as 99 percent of the churches are today in the arena of religion. When go to church you should come home aligned with the body of Christ if there is a body of Christ visible out there anymore. We as Christians are the body of Christ. This does not fall up on you when you cross through the threshold of the church, it is something you seek and find from God alone. I have heard it described "the old man of sin" being cast out. Many sit in the churches addicted by habits of the devil and many are obsessed with evil spirits. The conduct of a person manifest their heart saved or unsaved. Darkening a church door has nothing to do with salvation. You can get a lot in church or you can get nothing. If you have a wicked heart and treat your neighbor or your relative unchristian, then you are possessed with the spirit of the devil and not the spirit of God. Church folks that act like righteous is not a new practice. It is also an old Religion, Christ spoke of it extensively in the Book of Revelation. The Beatitudes of Christ teaching on the mountain is the greatest example of how we are to live. The 10 Commandments are still in force by God while the state has veered off course and like many churches have lost their sense of right or wrong, of good or evil. If preachers preach against evil then they will lose their congregations. I have delivered my soul through this painting and it seemed that every day the devil sure did block my way. The painting shows the skies being rolled up from both ends and four horsemen and the four beast all off doing their thing. The holy city is splitting down the middle of the painting descending upon a renewed earth illuminating all in its pathway. Christ is the capstone or the chief cornerstone at the top of the triangled holy city. Christ is also shown coming on a white horse as king of king’s and Lord of Lord’s from the right side with his clouds of saints following also on white horses. The painting is charged with activity in contrary directions but ultimately the lion and the lamb lay down together for true peace near the flood of water coming out from form the throne of God. The Tree of life with all manner of fruit and this leaves are for the healing of the Nation's. The painting is packed with Scripture and most things are described with Scripture. I praise the Lord for grace to paint this way, truely it is an anointing from God and not by my own strength or wisdom. Anyone opposing this art or ministry should compare themselves to the Word. The surface of this painting covers 432 square feet and I have given a large part of this year already to its completion. This is no idea of mine; it must be from God who enables me. After the painting was completed and left I seemed to run out of energy and collapse. I've done my best and I've done what I feel led to do to make this statement for God and against evil. We can all have great aspirations but God is not of this world but of heaven. Only that which we do for Christ to follow in his principles will survive a test of time/fire.
