from Doug Perry – March 18, 2007 – www.FellowshipOfTheMartyrs.com I’ve long been aware of this and what it means and how satan uses it to take over a culture.  America has been substantially co-opted already by this ancient Roman strategy.  In fact, I think it predates Rome since it’s a ploy of the enemy and you […]

by Doug Perry, www.FellowshipOfTheMartyrs.com According to Scripture, in the last days, apostacy (falling away) will be rampant in the Church.

by Doug Perry, www.FellowshipOfTheMartyrs.com These are the last days.  We are very near the end.  There is much work to be done.  The harvest is white and getting whiter every day.  We need to go do the work together.

from Doug Perry, www.FellowshipOfTheMartyrs.com If there is no real persecution of Christians in America and Jesus said the more you are like Him the more you will be persecuted, then there must not be very many real Christians in America.

from Doug Perry – (www.FellowshipoftheMartyrs.com)  One of the chapters of the “Do It Yourself City Church Restoration” book As I’ve been looking intently at the state of the Church, I’ve grown more and more frustrated that hardly anybody seems to be really aware of the problems and the need for repentance. I struggle with what […]

by Brian Hupperts, www.SheepTrax.com (2007) AN APOLOGY to THE NATIONS America is a land that is walking in her own spiritual light, and our darkness is gross. The spiritual heresies and corruption that festers in our land are erupting like boils spreading disease all across the world. While there is a faithful remnant, much of our Christianity […]

by Doug Perry, www.FellowshipOfTheMartyrs.com I’ve been praying for a single coherent nugget to explain the problem and God showed it to me a few days ago. It is the VERY ESSENCE and CORE of what God did for us! He sent Jesus to shepherd us and be an example and then God ADOPTED us as joint […]

Much of the Church is asleep — or worse.Theft and embezzlement are rampant.Waste in our current structures is epidemic. “The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a […]

by Doug Perry, www.FellowshipOfTheMartyrs.com I’ve been thinking a lot about this. Because I’m a business guy, I think in financial terms. See if this makes any sense to you. When we’re born God opens two bank accounts for us. One is a checking account and the other is a retirement account. As soon as we are […]

-by Grover.    Much ado is being made about modern day apostles and prophets.  We hear of new “apostolic” networks and ministries, with their “impartation meetings” and “apostolic anointings.” Everybody who is somebody in the body of Christ is now an apostle.
