A Prophetic Message For The US Church
Maxine Pinder
My name is Maxine Pinder. God commissioned me to send this word to the leadership and the body of Christ. He is calling the church and the nation to repentance.
Some years ago, in the second part of a dream, God brought me to a place in New York City and showed me the World Trade Center Towers smoking. I stood there and watched until they fell. He brought me back to that place, in the third part of the dream and I saw a perplexing sight. New York City and the surrounding areas, as far as the eye could see in every direction, resembled a burnt pancake. Not even a piece of a building was left standing. On the day of February 26, 1993, when the first attempt was made to destroy the towers I was on the phone with a friend. I told her that God showed me the towers would fall and that what was happening then was not the way in which it would occur. She promptly told me that dreams do not always occur as we see them. I agreed. However, on the fateful day of September 11, 2001 the World Trade Center Towers fell. The World Trade Center Towers are no longer there. This dream has proved true thus far.
Some years later, God began to show me something, which, to my mind seemed impossible, regarding this nation. The staff of the power of the nation will be removed in war, devastation and destruction. Many will be carried off from this place and settled in the other nations old world style. The United States as we know it will be finished. This sentence upon the nation is determined because of the sin, wickedness and the hatred of God in it. God is grieved that “the church” has moved away from Him and gravitated to the worship of another. He has in fact said that the nation has changed its God. This judgment stands and will not be changed because our sin is great. Our only hope is for a delay.
Since this is the case, why would God even bother to send a warning at this time? God is merciful, kind and filled with compassion. He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. The scripture says II Samuel 14:14 and in Ezekiel 18:30, 31, For we will surely die, and become like water spilled on the ground which cannot be gathered up again yet God does not take away a life; but he devises means so that his banished ones are not expelled from him. Repent and turn yourselves from all your transgressions so iniquity shall not be your ruin. Cast away from you all your transgressions, whereby you have transgressed; and make you a new heart and a new spirit: for why will ye die.
God wants the people to understand and to turn from their sin. When there is a revival, in the “church”, birthed through repentance God, will return to the nation’s consciousness and its conscience. God has given me a word regarding the state of the church and the nation. You, the spiritual leadership, are the ones with the voice in the land and the charge to shepherd the flock of God so I am delivering the word to you, as God would have me to. Some of the scripture verses are omitted for brevity.
JEREMIAH CHAPTER 2
1 Moreover the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the LORD; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown…
7 And I brought you into a plentiful country, to eat the fruit thereof and the goodness thereof; but when ye entered, ye defiled my land, and made mine heritage an abomination.
8 The priests said not, where is the LORD? And they that handle the law knew me not: the pastors also transgressed against me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit….
10 For pass over the isles of Chittim, and see; and send unto Kedar, and consider diligently, and see if there be such a thing.
11 Hath a nation changed their gods, which are yet no gods? But my people have changed their glory for that which doth not profit….
19 Thine own wickedness shall correct thee, and thy backslidings shall reprove thee: know therefore and see that it is an evil thing and bitter, that thou hast forsaken the LORD thy God, and that my fear is not in thee, saith the Lord GOD of hosts….
23 How canst thou say, I am not polluted. I have not gone after Baalim? See thy way in the valley, know what thou hast done: thou art a swift dromedary traversing her ways…
32 Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people have forgotten me days without number.
34 Also on your skirts is found the blood of the lives of the poor innocents. I have not found it by secret search….
35 Yet thou sayest, because I am innocent, surely his anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with thee, because thou sayest, I have not sinned.
God remembers!
God has established this nation upon his name and his laws. He hedged it, delivered it, prospered it, empowered it and sustained the staff of that power in the earth. Though our bodies of defense are the most stellar in the world, the might of our military arm does not rest in the ingenuity of generals, commanders or the latest technology but in the simple truth, God fought for us. The truth is cast down and trampled upon when it is stated that God has not established this nation. He is in the declaration of independence, all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, the pledge of allegiance, one nation under God, and we boldly declare to the world on our paper currency in God we trust. Indeed, there was a time when God was trusted and loved by the church and the nation but that has changed.
God remembers this love and trust.
He lived in and ruled his house, the church; therefore he lived in the corporate conscience. He was feared, thanked and worshipped with sincerity not lip service.
There was genuine sorrow for sin. When people sinned they did not partake in the Holy Communion because they respected God’s presence. God remembers when his presence was respected.
The women of the church were chaste in dress, in speech, in ‘conversation’, not for spiritually legalistic reasons, but because the reality of who they were and whose they were, was chiseled on their minds like commandments on a stone tablet. Holy women write God on the conscience of men and the society. (1 Pet. 3:1-4, 1Tim. 2:9-10)
The pastor was seldom tempted from the pulpit by someone in the front row skimpily clad, crossing and uncrossing her legs or one adorned in an article of clothing so tight nothing is left to the imagination. Unholy, unchaste, wicked women incite men, a community into a spiraling spiritual descent of debauchery and depravity. (1ki. 21:25)
The ‘body’ was less disposed to liaisons, ‘the down low’, homosexuality, and other romantic or sexual fantasies and illusions which engender a pervasive, contagious sickness that fills it with spiritual puss and putrefying sores.
Everything unholy was closeted and sin hid itself because there was salt in the land. Now, that has been reversed, that which is holy is in the closet and that which is unholy, depraved and degenerate is out and unashamedly and unabashedly sashaying its filth everywhere.
The Nation Has Changed Its God!
The Lord commanded that we have no other God but he. This commandment has not been kept by most and the jealousy of the Lord has been provoked. He says, that the nation changed its God! Even the church has forsaken him! The nation and the church have been on a steady spiritual decline for a while. The fear of the Lord has all but ceased. The right ways of the Lord are scarcely taught. All scripture is given by the inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction for instruction in righteousness: that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works. Is not my word like as a fire? Saith the Lord; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces. Yet, today, “Christians” would rather hear feathery sermons about wealth, blessings, unlocking the door to their season and destiny, than ones about righteousness, sin and the fear of the Lord. The children are unschooled in the fear and the honor of the Lord! A majority of the youth cannot quote or discuss the particulars of the scriptures in a manner that shows thorough knowledge about the subject matter! Truthfully, neither can most of the adults! There is very little teaching regarding the purpose of the bible; that the doctrine of both Old and New Testaments, is to fear God and depart from evil. Therefore, sin saturates the land and the church. This is evident in these facts.
Witchcraft and the occult pervade the society and the church. (Lev 19:31)
This nation’s divorce rate is the highest in the world and the divorce rate in the “church” is higher than that in the rest of the society.
There are more abortions in this nation each year than in any other nation in the world. Some of the young women in the church are among the ones having them.
Homosexuality is on the rise. The leadership of some churches sanction homosexuality when it is clear that the bible calls it an abomination? (Lev 18:22, Rom 1:26-28) In addition to this homosexuals are pushing for unilateral legalization of gay marriage. If they succeed marriage will be redefined in this nation as it has been in a few others. This generation has succeeded in sinking to a level that previous generations did not even think possible.
Pornography is consumed at a higher rate among “Christians” than among the rest of the society? This country is the major distributor of pornography around the world.
Oral sex pervades among the youth and the youth of the church are also doing it. They think that it is permitted by the scriptures, but do not realize that the message of the bible is purity not abstinence.
More people have clamidia and gonorrhea than heart disease, cancer or diabetes?
Why is this?
…When they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened... Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the creator, who is blessed forever Amen. For this cause God gave them up to vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature: And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was meet. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but have pleasure in them that do them.
We Cannot Feign Innocence.
We have allowed our wealth to deceive us. Like the Laodicean church, we have believed our prosperity means that the Lord is with us. However, let us be careful to note that prosperity is not an evident token of the presence of the Lord with a people. Throughout history some of the vilest nations have prospered. For too long we have tried to cleanse ourselves by our own designs and methods. For too long we have acted as though we are righteous and are doing no wrong. However, the Lord is regarding the blood of the poor innocent souls that is found in the skirts of our garments.
The blood, of those secretly murdered whether by abortion or otherwise, lines our skirts. The blood, of those that we have failed to warn, lines our skirts! The blood, of those who died in their sin thirsting for a word about turning away from it, lines our skirts! The blood, of those who lost their souls because they were taught to pursue wealth and their own way instead of Jesus Christ, lines our skirts! The Lord Jesus Christ teaches, labour not for the meat, which perishes, but for that meat, which endures to everlasting life, which the Son of Man will give you; for him has God the Father sealed. Seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all other things will be added. This is God’s prosperity message! Why, then, is the prosperity message of today teaching to seek the things and not the God?
Because Of This We Will Have Trouble!
We will reap the fruit of our doings. The word says that our own wickedness will correct us and our backslidings will reprove us. The pages of history show nations far more powerful in their scope than ours, Babylon under Nebuchadnezzer, for instance, was conquered, destroyed and replaced in spite of their prowess. As it was with Babylon so it will be with us. The nations will stand against and attack us in time. This is already beginning to evolve. We are hated in nearly every nation in the world. Hatred so venomous that it is hard to comprehend. The question is, why?
God is removing himself from our society and turning it over to a reprobate mind. He is offended, that is to put it mildly, because we have rejected him. We have succeeded in extricating him from almost all facets of our society and have, to a large extent, shut him out of our churches. It may not appear so but appearances can be deceiving. God cannot be deceived. Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight; but all things are naked and opened to the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
As a nation we are in trouble, as a people we are in double trouble, as a church we are drowning in trouble. God’s wrath and judgment is hovering over our heads. It is time to take stock of our ways and while we are seeking to change the moral fiber of the nation we have got to go through a major repentance that begins from the spiritual leadership. The prophet Joel said, “Call a solemn assembly, sanctify a fast… let the priests who minister to the Lord weep between the porch and the altar, let them say Spare your people O lord and do not give your heritage to reproach that the nations should rule over them…” If we do not heed the Lord he will destroy us sooner and in the day that he does, when we then decide to run to him he will not listen to us, nor answer us, nor deliver us. Whether it is believed or not “The most High rules in the kingdom of men,” and “gives it to whomever He will.” There is only one way for us to cleanse ourselves. The Lord says, If my people that are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then, I will hear from heaven and I will forgive their sin and I will heal their land. Let us turn to the Lord with all our hearts.
“Wherefore I take you to record this day that I am pure from the blood of all men for I have not shunned to declare to you all the counsel of God. Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock over which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers to feed the church of God which he has purchased with this own blood.”
