Jimmy Swaggart's sins against the church ... What Bible says to do about such.

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

In the 1990's Jimmy Swaggart came on TV with a tearful announcement of his sins against the church.  (This announcement came after he was caught with a prostitute.)

I visited a small Assembly of God church during that time in my search for a church I could attend.

That night, from the pulpit, pastor said, "We should pray for Brother Swaggart."

I was shocked because I know what Paul says to do with such a "brother" as Swaggart.  (I Cor. 5)

I said very softly, "We should put him out of the church."

The woman seated in front of me that night obviously heard what I said and she turned and glared with me with vehemence.

What is the instruction given in Bible when a so-called brother in the church commits such sins as fornication?  The apostle Paul told us in following scripture.

I Cor. 5 ... 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat.
12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.  

The "nice" looking thing to do in the eyes of many humans ... the wisdom of this world ... is to "pray" for such a one as this ... and to counsel him.

This is a fleshly, antichrist response to such sins in the church.

God tells us to put such a "brother" out of the church as Paul stated in I Cor. 5.

This Assembly of God reaction to sin in the church is just another example of the apostasy in the church today where the "man of lawlessness" who is opposite to Christ, opposite to the Word of God is reigning.

Shortly after Swaggart's first tearful admission, he was caught again with a prostitute.  He told the law officer who caught him, "It's flat out none of your business."  (Reported by Wikipedia, Internet Encyclopedia ... see Jimmy Swaggart.)  

The antichrist is here today ... many antichrists in ministry today ... loved by church groups ... sin disregarded ... this is the end time apostasy.  It is here today in the churches.

II Thess. 2 ...  Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, 2 That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. 3 Let no man deceive you by any means:for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
 
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? 6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work:only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. 8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, 10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Jesus could not return until these things happened ... They are happening today in our church group.

There is a cup which has to be filled to the top with such sins in the churches.  We are rapidly seeing this cup of transgressions in the churches filled.

Recently the Holy Spirit said to me:  Tell about the experiences you've had with pastors ...

That is what I am doing with these writings so you can wake up to sins in the church and not stay among sins in your churches.
