Myth—God Owns Solid Rock

You might not understand that you are sitting in a lair of Satan by just

listening to the pulpit message. Remember, Satan’s servants are supposed to appear and sound righteous. However, you should get out fast when the focus of the ministry is on things other than God’s Word. I am telling you to not just listen to what the pastor says. I am telling you to take a close look at

what is going on and the focus of the ministry. It is very important that you also look behind the scenes and into the hierarchy of the church and its leaders. Christ said: “You will know them by their fruits.” It means you will know them by what they are doing and the focus of their ministry.

Again, to be fair to all Christian denominations, you never know for sure which church is of God unless you are already on the inside observing what is being taught and what the focus of the church is. From the outside appearance, all churches might be in Zone 2 in our three-zone analogy. God

will sort out what churches are in Zone 1 and Zone 3 during the time Christ comes back. Who is really closer to God and who is closer to Satan will also be sorted out. In the interim, be aware again that you will not be collectively judged with everyone else who is inside the church that you attend. Instead,

you will be judged individually as God has ordained.
