A Loss of Power

Why has America experienced a loss of power?

America has undoubtedly experienced a loss of power.

It is no longer the largest economy in the world.  In the last forty years it has gone from being the largest lender nation in history to the largest borrower nation in history.  It has been experiencing the worst recession since World War II with no real signs of improvement.

While America is still the only current super power on Earth it is described by other countries as a waning super power.   Since the time that Iron Curtain came down the US has been on slow, but steady, descent.  Countries like Iran, who once avoided any appearance of willingness to fight with America, now say that it would be no big deal to go to war with the US.  While America undoubtedly has the strongest military on Earth at this time it does not create the fear that it did after the attacks of September 11, 2001 when every country on Earth was going out of its way to assure the US that it had nothing to do with those attacks.

This loss of power has nothing to do with the bravery of the men and women who have served to protect America.  This loss of power has nothing to do with their willingness to sacrifice their very lives so America can keep on being the home of the brave and the land of the free. Their bravery is demonstrated every day by how they face enemies who seek to destroy America and their sacrifices are remembered every year on Memorial Day.

America has been being prepared for this loss of power for a long time though a subtle influence by those who oppose the practices that made America strong in the first place.  Their subtle influence has lead to removing America farther and farther away from understanding its own roots to bring about even the disintegration of ThanksgivingThe death of America is certain if this trend is not reversed by the Children of Truth (those who obey The Father of Truth because they love Him) rising up to take America back from the Father of Lies (HaShatan aka Satan Aka The Devil) and his followers because they recognize that today is a time for civil disobedience.

This loss of power in America comes from a loss of power in the real source of power in America.  Just like a smart phone will experience a loss of power when the battery in it stops being recharged by being frequently connected to its power source so also America has experienced a loss of power when the American Church stopped being recharged by frequently being connect to its power source.

The American Church has been called the source of power and stability in America over and over again by domestic sources continually from the time of the Pilgrims to the last days of President Reagan.  It has been stated by justices of the Supreme Court decade after decade.  It was confirmed by congress when the words "In God We Trust" was made the national motto of America.  

That the source of power in America has always been the American church is no surprise to neither friend nor foe of America.  Foreign sources like Tocqueville have consistently noted that America was constantly lifted up and unified by the dominance of Protestant Christianity throughout most of America.  Governments of various European powers at many times during the history of America have noted the same thing.  Even communist China did a twenty year study on why America outdid almost everyone at almost everything at the time and concluded that it was because of the faith of Americans in the Man of Truth (Yeshua HaMashiach aka Jesus Christ).

The only people on Earth who do not seem to recognize what is the source of American power are Americans today.  Other countries have long recognized that this was the case even if they did not really understand why this is the case.   Indeed various countries like Communist Russia have sought to find ways to undermine the strength and stability of America by disconnecting Americans from the influence of the Man of Truth on America.  They have supported people who have spread lies like the Greatest Fairy Tale Ever Told through the education system just for this purpose.

Their efforts have not been in vain for Americans have come to believe it when people tell them "My DNA made me do it" as an excuse for any behavior including murder.  This should be no surprise since America started becoming a nation of serial killers in the 1973 and has grown even worse to the point that people find it acceptable to live like they were married in Sodom today.  However, the efforts of these foreign powers to destroy America from within would be futile if the American Church itself was not experiencing a loss of power.

So the question becomes: Why has the American Church experienced a loss of power?

There is a loss of power in power delivery system of the American Church.  Just as a battery has to be frequently recharged by being plugged into a wall socket connected to the electrical grid in order to keep supplying power to a smart phone so also the Children of Truth in America have to be frequently plugged into a local congregation connected to a system of religious professionals in order to keep supplying power to America.  Yet the system of religious professionals have not been delivering power to the local congregation so it is doing the Children of Truth no more good to be plugged into their local congregation than it does to plug a smart phone into a wall socket when the electrical grid is not delivering power to the wall socket.  The batteries cannot be recharged when there is a loss of power in the power delivery system.

So why is there a loss of power in the power delivery system of the American Church?

The loss of power does not mean that there is a lack of power in the power source.  While there can be individual areas that experience a loss of power from damage to the power grid in their area, such as is sometimes caused by the weather, that does not mean that the power source has lost any power whatsoever.  However, these types of crisis only account for a small amount of the loss of power that occurs between the power source and the wall sockets of houses.  The power grid itself actually causes most of the loss of power.  In fact in some cases all most of the power, up to seventy percent of the electricity generated, is lost as it goes from the power source through the electrical grid to the wall sockets.  This massive loss of power is caused by the resistance to electricity by the electrical grid itself.  This resistance to electricity creates heat that sometimes even damages part of the electrical grid to the point that there is a complete loss of power in some areas.  In other words, if the resistance to the power flowing from the power source in the electric grid system is high enough then it can cause a complete disconnection of many wall sockets from the power source.

If there is no power from the power source in the wall sockets then the batteries cannot be recharged.  Without the batteries being recharged the smart phones will eventually stop functioning even though there is no loss of power in the power source.

It is exactly the same way with the Children of Truth in America.

The loss of power in the American Church does not mean that there is a lack of power in the Spirit of Truth (Ruach HaQodesh aka The Holy Spirit aka The Holy Ghost).  Even if some individual congregations experience a power loss due to damage to the religious professional system in their area, such as is some times caused by death, that does not mean that the Spirit of Truth has lost any power whatsoever.  However, these types of crisis only account for a small amount of the loss of power that has occurred between the Spirit of Truth and local congregations.  The religious professional system itself actually causes most of the loss of power.  In some cases, almost all of the power is lost as it goes from the Spirit of Truth through the system of religious professionals to the congregations.  This massive loss of power is caused by the resistance to the Spirit of Truth by the system of religious professionals itself.  This resistance to the Spirit of Truth creates heat that sometimes damages some of the religious professionals to the point that there is a complete loss of power in some denominations.  In other words, if the resistance to the Spirit of Truth by the system of religious professionals is high enough then it can cause a complete disconnection of many local congregations from the Spirit of Truth.

If there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in the local congregations then the Children of Truth who attend those congregations cannot be recharged.  Without the Children of Truth being recharged then America will stop functioning even though there is no loss of power in the Spirit of Truth.

So how does the system of religious professionals create resistance to the Spirit of Truth?

There are several ways the system of religious professionals create resistance to the Spirit of Truth that results in a loss of power in the congregations they influence.

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life simply because religious professionals do not know what is written in the Book of Truth about that area of life.  People cannot even come into the House of Truth unless someone tells them about the Man of Truth (Romans 10:13-15).  No one can act in faith on the Word of Truth until they have heard it (Romans 10:17).  The Spirit of Truth cannot start working in their lives until they have heard and believed the Word of Truth (Galatians 3:2).   The power of the Spirit of Truth cannot flow if they have not heard and believed the Word of Truth (Galatians 3:5).  The power of the Spirit of Truth cannot begin to work until faith is mixed in with the Word of Truth (Hebrews 4:2).

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life because religious professionals are actively resisting the Spirit of Truth working in that area of life.  For example, if they forbid people from allowing the Spirit of Truth work through them in power as the Man of Truth commanded all of the Children of Truth then they are actively resisting the Spirit of Truth (Mark 16:15-19).  The Spirit of Truth is the power source for these operations in their congregations so anyone who actively resists these operations is actively resisting the Spirit of Truth (1 Corinthians 12:8-10).  They are actively resisting the Spirit of Truth if they forbid people to speak in tongues in their congregations (1 Corinthians 14:39).  They are quenching the Spirit of Truth if they are despising people speaking by the Spirit of Truth in their congregations (1 Thessalonians 5:19-20).

Sometimes there is a a loss of power from the Spirit of Truth because religious professionals have a shortage of love for other people.  The Man of Truth taught that the Children of Truth must even love those who hate them if they want to be like His Father (Matthew 5:44-48).  He taught that loving other people was almost as important as loving His Father (Matthew 22:37-39).  The Man of Truth loved other people completely (John 13:1).  The Man of Truth commanded the Children of Truth to love people in the same way that he loved people so everyone would know that he was the king of their life (John 13:34-35).  He commanded that the Children of Truth lay down their lives for one another (John 15:12-14).  His commandment to every religious professional is to love and take care of the Children of Truth like He does (John 21:15-17).  The ability to love people like the Man of Truth loves people comes from the Spirit of Truth (Romans 5:5-8).  Those who love other people as much as they love themselves fulfill the Law of Truth (Torah aka The Law) (Romans 13:8-10).  Those who love people like the Man of Truth loved people will lay aside all ambitions of becoming wealthy in order to take care of the needs of others (2 Corinthians 8:7-9).  Faith in the Man of Truth produces power in the lives of those who love others through the power of the Spirit of Truth (Galatians 5:5-6).  This kind of love that fulfills the Law of Truth only comes from the Spirit of Truth (Galatians 5:22-23).  The Spirit of Truth is the power source for this kind of love so those who do not operate in love are resisting the Spirit of Truth (Ephesians 3:16-17).

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life because religious professionals only look at what is written in the Renewed Covenant (B'rit Chadashah aka The New Testament) and ignore what is written in the Original Covenant (Tanach aka The Old Testament).  They make errors like those of the Pharisees because they do not know the Original covenant (the only part of the Book of Truth that was written when the Man of Truth was on the Earth) (Matthew 22:29).  They make these errors because like the Pharisees they do not know the power of the Father of Truth (YHVH aka God aka THE LORD) (Mark 12:24).  They are not searching the Original Covenant (the only part of the Book of Truth the Bereans had) like the noble men of Berea to see if what they have been taught is true (Acts 17:11).  They are not teaching the entire counsel of the Father of Truth like Paul the Jew (Shaul aka Saul aka The Apostle Paul) did (Acts 20:25-27).  They cannot possible get the doctrines of the Renewed Covenant right if they do no examine the writings of the Prophets like Paul the Jew did (Romans 16:25-27).  If they do not study the entire Book of Truth then they cannot get the doctrines in the Word of Truth right (2 Timothy 2:15).  They are subject to being deceived if they neglect the Original Covenant that can make them wise to salvation through faith in the Man of Truth (2 Timothy 3:13-15).  They cannot instruct others in righteousness and bring them to full maturity in the Man of Truth unless they use the entire Book of Truth (2 Timothy 3:16-17).  Since the Original Covenant came from the Spirit of Truth then those who resist what is written the Original Covenant are resisting the Spirit of Truth (2 Peter 1:19-21).

Sometimes there is no power from the Spirit of Truth in some area of life because religious professionals place their traditions above what is written in the Book of Truth.  Like the Pharisees they are more concerned with maintaining their own traditions instead of obeying what is written in the Book of Truth (Matthew 15:1-3).  When they break the commandments of the Father of Truth to keep their tradition then they are only worshiping with their mouths but not with their hearts because they are teaching their own doctrine instead of His doctrine (Matthew 15:4-9).  They have to reject the commandments of the Father of Truth to keep the commandments of their own doctrine (Mark 7:7-9).  There is a loss of power when they keep a tradition that contradicts the written Word of Truth (Mark 7:13).  Some of these religious professionals lay aside the commandments of the Father of Truth to keep Jewish traditions that come from the Rabbis even to the point of persecuting the Children of Truth who do not agree with them (Galatians 1:13-14).  Other religious professionals do not teach the same things as the Man of Truth in order to keep traditions that come from philosophies rooted in idol worship (Colossians 2:6-8).  In either case it is resisting what was written by the inspiration of the Spirit of Truth so they can keep the empty traditions which they have inherited from their fathers that is robbing them of the power that was bought with the blood of the Man of Truth (1 Peter 1:18-20).

Sometimes there is complete loss power from the Spirit of Truth because religious professionals are trying to accomplish by keeping the letter of the Law of Truth what can only be accomplished by the power of the Spirit of Truth.  They seek to live by the oldness of keeping the Law of Truth in their own power instead of the newness of living a life that is controlled by the Spirit of Truth (Romans 7:6).  Since the Law of Truth is spiritual it cannot be kept without the help of the Spirit of Truth (Romans 7:14-16).  It is by following the Spirit of Truth that people fulfill the righteous requirements of the Law of Truth (Romans 8:3-5).  No one can be justified by keeping the Law of Truth in their own strength (Galatians 2:15-16).  The Man of Truth died for nothing if people could be made righteous by keeping the Law of Truth in their own strength (Galatians 2:20-21).  People cannot finish in their own strength what it took the power of the Spirit of Truth to start (Galatians 3:1-3).  The power of the Spirit of Truth comes by faith in the Man of Truth instead of by performing the works of the Law of Truth (Galatians 3:5-7).  The justification that only comes believing the testimony of the Spirit of Truth concerning the Man of Truth can never come from efforts to perform the works of the Law of Truth (Galatians 3:9-11).  Anyone who is circumcised to receive justification under the Law of Truth has made the blood of the Man of Truth powerless in their lives and has fallen from the grace of the Father of Truth (Galatians 5:2-4).  It is only by the power of the Spirit of Truth working in their lives that they can overcome the sinfulness of their flesh to do what the Law of Truth requires so anyone trying to keep the Law of Truth in order to be saved is completely resisting the Spirit of Truth (Galatians 5:16-18).

Although the exact circumstances vary these religious professionals are all in some shape, form or fashion are resisting the Spirit of Truth by either not believing what is written in the Book of Truth (The Bible) or by not obeying what is written in the Book of Truth similar to what the unbelieving Jews did concerning the Prophets of Truth, the Man of Truth and the Law of Truth (Acts 7:51-53)If this was the case with those who only had the Original Covenant then how much more should those who have been given the Renewed Covenant be careful to believe and obey what is in it (Hebrews 2:1-4)? 

Are there any real life examples of the system of religious professional creating a loss of power by resisting the Spirit of Truth?

I once belonged to a congregation where the Spirit of Truth operated at times in the most amazing ways.  People would be instantly delivered from addictions and healed of all kinds of diseases.  The power of the Spirit of Truth was so strong that sometimes entire sections of the congregation would fall down like dead men without anyone even touching them (John 18:3-6).  Sometimes people would be so overwhelmed by the power of the Spirit of Truth that they acted like they were drunk without ever touching a single drop of alcohol (Ephesians 5:18).  Sometimes we would have seven days a week revivals that lasted for weeks and the place would be packed every single day.  When the Spirit of Truth is operating in power the problem is not advertising but crowd control.

Then we started experiencing a loss of power.  People would have hands laid on them and not recover.  Some even died.  So we started having prayer every evening in an effort to experience a restoration of power.  Whenever I was praying in tongues during these prayer meetings the Spirit of Truth would speak through me about how the congregation needed to repent of certain things.  Some of them made no sense to me at the time because there were things going on that I had no idea about.  However, there were other things that I could plainly see like how that many of the members of our congregation were only giving to get because they had come to the point where they cared about more about getting bigger, better, newer things than taking care of other people.

However, the root of the problem was that some of the family members of the pastor who were on the church staff were doing things that were not right but he did not remove them from the church staff similar to how Eli the Priest did not remove his sons from the priesthood  (1 Samuel 2:22-25).  He knew that anyone who did not have their own house in order was not fit to be over the house where the Children of Truth congregated (1 Timothy 3:5).  The pastor would have removed anyone else from the staff of the church that were doing those same things which is contrary to what the Spirit of Truth said in the Law of Truth (James 2:8-10).  In fact the pastor said that every time he read the Book of James (Ya'acob) he got a spanking from the Spirit of Truth for doing things like this.  The Man of Truth gave the pastor space to repent, even sending people like myself to warn him, but he still would not repent then judgement came down like it had on the congregation at Thyatira when they did not repent after being given space to do so (Revelation 2:20-22).  Since the pastor continued in resisting the Spirit of Truth this way, even after being warned over and over for two years, the congregation experienced a tremendous loss of power.

Afterwards I left that congregation and went to the very first meeting of a new congregation that had about 30 adults in the service.  The pastor allowed me and another person to stand with him and lay hands on the sick even though neither one of us were religious professionals.  We had some tremendous demonstrations of power during this time including one case where a man who was dying from throat cancer had all of the cancer burned out of his body when we laid hands on him according to his own words.  My own daughter was as good as dead from a condition that no one else has ever been recorded by medical science of surviving but rose up from that coma to experience the greatest health of her entire life during this period.  Needless to say, our congregation went from about thirty adults to about seven hundred adults in one year's time.  Our biggest problem was now how could we seat everyone.  Again, when the Spirit of Truth shows up in power the problem is crowd control and not advertising.

This new pastor belonged to a denomination that officially believed in healing and holy living by the power of the Spirit of Truth but most of the pastors did not really expect either to happen.  However, the regional superintendent had told this pastor that he could do anything that he could show him from the Book of Truth (The Bible) in our services.  Since the pastor was not resisting the Spirit of Truth in this matter then the power of the Spirit of Truth was flowing in our services.

Then that superintendent died in a car wreck and was replaced by another superintendent who did not want anyone who was not on the church staff to be laying hands on the sick.  It was pointed out to him that the Man of Truth said that all believers, not just religious professionals, were to lay hands on the sick and they would recover (Mark 16:17-18).  The pastor obeyed the new superintendent instead of the instructions given by the Spirit of Truth in the Book of Truth and there was a complete loss of power for healing the sick in that congregation.  Again, it was resisting the Spirit of Truth that brought about a loss of power.

So in short, whenever the religious professionals who lead these congregations learned what the Book of Truth said about anything and made changes to be in line with what the Spirit of Truth had said in the Book of Truth then there was an increase in power.  However, when these religious professionals resisted the Spirit of Truth by not doing what they knew the Book of Truth said about anything then they experienced a loss of power.

How does resistance to the Spirit of Truth by the system of religious professionals create a loss of power for an entire nation?

It has been the same way for America on a national scale as it was for those two congregations.  The system of religious professionals in America have moved further and further from teaching what the Book of Truth says consistently since 2000 at least. In the weeks following the attacks of September 11, 2001 congregations were swelled to all time high levels where the majority of religious professionals lied to those seeking answers.  They lied to these desperate people and told them that if they would pray then the Father of Truth would heal America.  When this did not happen many Americans became even more disobedient to the Father of Truth.

This did not happen because that is not what the Spirit of Truth said in the Book of Truth.  The Spirit of Truth said that IF those who called themselves His Children would humble themselves by admitting that they had been doing what the Father of Truth said was evil, then do what the Father of Truth said is right instead, and pray to Him THEN He would hear their prayers, forgive their sins and heal their land (2 Chronicles 7:14). It is only repentance that can end the resistance to the Spirit of Truth so the power can resume (Acts 2:38).  It is repentance that brings about a restoration of power on either a personal scale or on a national scale (Acts 3:19).  Forgiveness does not come to a nation without national repentance (Acts 5:31).  National repentance always results in a change in the behavior of the nation (Acts 26:20).  National sorrow without national repentance will lead to the death of any nation (2 Corinthians 7:10).

Of course when they have told people that they do not need to stay in the House of Truth to be saved then people did not repent and come back into the House of Truth.  There has been no restoration of national power because there has been no national repentance.

This treasonous act of cowardice on their behalf was the largest unified resistance to the Spirit of Truth in the history of America. They simply did not love the people of America enough to tell them the truth so they would return to the Father of Truth but instead hated the American people with the worst kind of hatred.

Many of these religious professionals have only gotten worse and have adopted all kinds of new schemes to increase the membership and finances of their organizations.  They have been teaching less and less of the Doctrine of Truth and more and more of the Doctrine of Lies.  Some of them have gotten so far from what the Book of Truth says that they are teaching about another "Jesus" instead of the Man of Truth.  Some of them have gotten so far from what the Book of Truth says that they are following another spirit instead of the Spirit of Truth.

America is hardly unique in experiencing this loss of power for these exact same reasons.  The Father of Truth raised up ancient Israel in the same way that He raised up America when it was seeking to do all that He commanded and avoiding the practices that were contrary to Him (Deuteronomy 28:1-14).  He also started bringing ancient Israel down in the same way that America has being brought down when it turned from doing what He had spoken in His Word (Deuteronomy 28:15-24).  Ancient Israel even had the same root cause of a loss of power and that was the system of religious professionals resisting the Spirit of Truth by seeking after their own comfort and pleasure instead of defending their congregations from anything that was not from the Spirit of Truth and feeding their congregations the Word of Truth (Ezekiel 34:7-9).

So what can be done to restore the power after a loss of power?

When there is a loss of power because the electrical grid system is damaged there are only really a few options.  One of course is to wait for the electrical grid system to be fixed so that there is a restoration of power.  In the same way the religious professional system of America has been fixed at various times in the past that have resulted in national revivals that brought about a restoration of power.

However, if there was devastating damage to the electrical grid system through something like an Electric Magnetic Pulse attack so that it can no longer carry any power then the restoration of power would only be able to occur at a local level.  In the worst case, each individual location has to have a direct connection to a power source themselves like solar panels or wind mills or the like in order to experience the restoration of power.  So even though there may not be a national restoration of power there can still be local and individual restorations of power.

In like manner, when the system of religious professionals is so damaged that it can no longer carry any power then the restoration of power can only occur at a local level.  In the worst case, each individual person has to have a direct connection to the power source, the Spirit of Truth, themselves in order to experience a restoration of power.   So even though there may not be a national restoration of power there can still be local and individual restorations of power.

Every Child of Truth is saved by faith but grows by knowledge of the Word of Truth.  There are two kinds of knowledge of the Word of Truth.  When they have heart knowledge, instead of just head knowledge, about what the Word of Truth teaches about some subject then they have a direct connection to the Spirit of Truth so that power can be restored in that area of their life.

All power begins with the power that comes from the Spirit of Truth to do what the Father of Truth commands in the Law of Truth (Ezekiel 36:25-27).  The Father of Truth puts the Spirit of Truth in everyone who comes into the House of Truth so they can obey His commandments that He spoke through the Man of Truth (John 14:15-17).  People first come into the House of Truth by making the Man of Truth king of their life because they believe that the Father of Truth raised him from the dead (Romans 10:9).  After they come into the House of Truth then the power that comes from the Spirit of Truth begins operating in their lives (1 Corinthians 3:16).  If people experience a loss of power after they have come into the House of Truth then they can have a restoration of power by admitting that they have resisted the Spirit of Truth and asking for forgiveness (1 John 1:9).

Come into the House of Truth.
