In 1980, God spoke to me in the night, giving me three words, which ended up showing me to go on radio to exhort the church in ways of God.
The radio broadcasts flourished, quickly spreading through stations from NYC to Seattle.
The messages were primarily on the subjects of following God, recognizing which ideas are from God, taking thoughts captive, dealing with destructive thoughts.
Toward the end of 1981, I was given by God the following word.
"The foundation is laid. Now we are really going to move."
(I was very popular on radio at that time.)
A few weeks later, I was on a plane enroute back to Dallas where I lived at the time. God began speaking to me in the form of a thought. Over and over, I heard these words.
The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God ... The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God ... The time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God...
A few days after that, God called to my attention various sins which were being committed by big-time radio-TV ministers.
I had to try to get the message to those ministers.
Even though I was relatively well known in USA at that time, I could not get a message to those ministers. They often isolate themselves and protect themselves from getting messages.
So I delivered each message God had given me on my own radio broadcast naming the minister by name and telling of the specific sin God had shown me.
The messages then reached these ministers.

God once said to the destroying angel:
Ezekiel 9
1-11 HE cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon HE was, to the threshold of the house. And HE called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his side;
And the LORD said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
And to the others HE said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord GOD! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
Then said HE unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, The LORD hath forsaken the earth, and the LORD seeth not.
And as for ME also, MINE eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as THOU hast commanded me.

I Peter 4:16-19
Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to HIM in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

When the iniquity of the world and the iniquity in the churches is full, in God's timing judgment comes through the pouring out of the wrath of God upon the apostate churches and upon this world.
The apostate churches are those church groups that have cast aside the doctrines of Christ from the Bible and have set up doctrines opposite to the Bible, such as the following.
Jesus said: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery. Matthew 5:32
Most church groups today have completely changed and ignored this instruction and now approve all manner of divorce/remarriage and think nothing of permitting a man to marry a divorced woman.
This is just one example of apostasy in today's churches.
*****
Another example:
When a "brother" in Christ commits fornication and is caught, the leadership of the church group often instructs the church group telling them to forgive such a brother, to pray for him, and they council him. They fail to do that which Paul said to do to such in the church group.
The apostle Paul instructs as follows:
I Corinthians 5:11-13
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.
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? (those within the church)
But them that are without (the church) God judgeth.
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.
For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? (those within the church)
But them that are without (the church) God judgeth.
Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
(We are not to judge the world. God will judge the world. But we are to judge the church.)

The righteousness of a righteous God is appeased through judgment.
Therefore the wrath of God is ordained to be poured out upon the apostate churches who have fallen away from scripture and have declared a doctrine opposite to scripture for the church. And the wrath of God will also come upon the church members who go along with the casting aside of scripture in the church group.
A very horrible fate awaits both the ministers in the apostate church group and their congregations.
II Thessalonians 2:10-12
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

Do you really want to be sitting among those apostate church groups, approving their discarding of portions of scripture, when Jesus returns?
*****
That which is to come upon the apostate churches and the world when the wrath of God is loosed at the end of the world.
Revelation 8
2 And I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.
6-13 And the seven angels which had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.
The first angel sounded, and there followed hail and fire mingled with blood, and they were cast upon the earth: and the third part of trees was burnt up, and all green grass was burnt up.
And the second angel sounded, and as it were a great mountain burning with fire was cast into the sea: and the third part of the sea became blood; And the third part of the creatures which were in the sea, and had life, died; and the third part of the ships were destroyed.
And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter.
And the fourth angel sounded, and the third part of the sun was smitten, and the third part of the moon, and the third part of the stars; so as the third part of them was darkened, and the day shone not for a third part of it, and the night likewise.
(Can you imagine life on this earth when darkness is increased by 1/3? Plant life would change. Weather would change if the sun was visible 1/3 less. Life would be very seriously affected.)
And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound!
Revelation 9:6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
Revelaton 9:20-21 And the rest of the men which were not killed by these plagues yet repented not of the works of their hands, that they should not worship devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood: which neither can see, nor hear, nor walk:
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.
Neither repented they of their murders, nor of their sorceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their thefts.

And what hope is there for you who sit in those apostate churches approving those who cast aside portion of scripture?
*****
Those who love God will not approve the removal of scripture.

Last week, a woman asked me what I thought of a man marrying a divorced woman.
I said: "Jesus said: The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery." Matthew 5:32
In a few minutes, this woman said, "What do you think of what is happening in England where the prince is planning to marry a divorced woman?"
I replied: "The prince is a man ... Jesus said: "The man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery."
Amazingly, she asked this same question a third time.
I replied, in an even louder voice, separating each word by a pause...
" THE ... MAN ... WHO ... MARRIES ... A ... DIVORCED ... WOMAN ... COMMITS ... ADULTERY."
