some shall depart from the faith
1Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith,
We call this the "apostasy". There is some debate over other verses with the term "apostasy" if they are referring to the rapture or the falling away from the faith. But regardless, this verse makes it clear some will depart from the Faith. The Faith is the fellowship of the Apostles, it is the New Testament. There are quite a few Christians and congregations that have "departed from the New Testament".
giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Many Christian congregations have been infiltrated by FreeMasons and Jesuits. Once Saved Always Saved in many places is taught as a doctrine of devils. There is such a thing as "the full assurance of salvation" but the way they teach OSAS it means you don't have to repent of sins. That is a doctrine of devils. We also have the prosperity gospel where physical blessings are used as proof that you are blessed of God, this is "giving heed to seducing spirits". Jezebel was a seducing spirit teaching believers to commit fornication and eat things sacrificed to idols.
2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
It is stunning to me that you could have Christians supporting a "pro choice" platform. Be careful, speaking lies in hypocrisy is a very serious sin. To depart from the faith might mean you were a new believer stumbled by someone evil, to give heed to a seducing spirit and doctrines of devils might indicate you were weak in the faith. But to actually speak lies in hypocrisy, that is a very serious sin. At this point your conscience is seared with a hot iron.
3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
There is obviously a close correlation here with the Catholic church, the nuns and the priests. However, we see this kind of doctrine spreading throughout the world. They are pushing kids to get "trans surgery" which is making them into Eunuchs who could never marry. Also, in the name of "climate change" they are commanding to abstain from meats. They want to limit what you can buy with a digital currency and they want people to eat insects.
4 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving: 5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.
This is what we need to learn, sanctify the food you eat with thanksgiving, the word of God and prayer.

To be a good minister of Jesus Christ you need to be nourished up in the words of fait and of good doctrine. Here is what you need to avoid:
7 But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.
I have seen pastors and Bible teachers who like to take stories from secular sources with a moral and they'll take a few jokes which may be a little profane but will be popular and garner large congregations. All of this should be refused. What you need is a testimony, a personal experience of the Lord working in your life.

AI -- making Sand and stones cry out
Luke 19:40 And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
People promoting AI are saying that they are making sand to talk. You are being replaced by sand, just as the Lord said because you refused to cry out and praise the name of Jesus.

I am instructed by Stan Johnson of Prophecy Club to ask all to pray for our nation!
A GREAT cataclysm is about to hit America. One that will go a long way to destroy this nation. One that will do more than send Americans to their knees. Much bigger and more cataclysmic than that. The big one.
This one is so big if we don’t start praying immediately not many Americans will be alive and not much of America will be left.
The thing I fear the most has come upon this nation.
JOB 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
America has played the harlot and gone away the path of righteousness and the love of Jesus. She has said in her heart. I can never fall.
REV 18:7 How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
God will not see, and if he does, He will do nothing to me.
The time has come for great calamity to hit America.
Those that know how to fast and pray MUST do so now, or very little will remain of your once-great nation.
I am calling my prayer warriors to war! To war a good warfare!
1TI 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
It is time to fast/pray and get on your knees and face and repent for your nation or little will be left.
The time of delay has ended. The time of great destruction has arrived. Seek me with your whole face. Turn not to the left or the right. This is the time of great miracles and great calamity. Both come as a two-sided coin.
Do not be distracted. Do not let the cares of this life distract you.
LUK 8:14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.
Things like job, family entertainment that do so easily beset.
HEB 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Not only repent of your personal, family but also the sins of your nation. Your nation has sinned grievously and my anger has come up in my face.
JER 33:5 They come to fight with the Chaldeans, but it is to fill them with the dead bodies of men, whom I have slain in mine anger and in my fury, and for all whose wickedness I have hid my face from this city.
America was once the golden cup in my hand but now has become the habitation of devils.
JER 51:7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the LORD's hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8 Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
REV 18:2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
A nation shall come from afar to destroy your nation.
JER 50:3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
I have warned and spoken by my holy prophets but my nation America has not listened to my warnings. Now the time of warning has passed. It is now time for great cataclysm to hit.
LUK 24:25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:
What is it? What is coming? I have already told you many times by many Prophets and America would not hear. Now is not the time for specific events. Now is the time for fasted urgent prayer or else I will come unto you and fight against you.
REV 2:16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.
I am calling for three days of fasted/prayers. All in unison. This is the time for weeping and wailing. Either by prayer or by cataclysm to hit. This is not a time of rejoicing, but a time of fasting and prayer.
NEH 1:4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
DAN 9:3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
MAT 17:21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.
LUK 2:37 And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
Note: I don't know what is coming. I was a little shocked to get this request. Just being obedient.

1Timothy 6:3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.
This is what we are seeing on social media platforms. Do not get dragged in, or pulled under in these things, simply withdraw thyself.

Do not bury your priestly ministry
Jeremiah 13:1 Thus saith the Lord unto me, Go and get thee a linen girdle, and put it upon thy loins, and put it not in water.
2 So I got a girdle according to the word of the Lord, and put it on my loins.
3 And the word of the Lord came unto me the second time, saying,
4 Take the girdle that thou hast got, which is upon thy loins, and arise, go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.
5 So I went, and hid it by Euphrates, as the Lord commanded me.
6 And it came to pass after many days, that the Lord said unto me, Arise, go to Euphrates, and take the girdle from thence, which I commanded thee to hide there.
7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took the girdle from the place where I had hid it: and, behold, the girdle was marred, it was profitable for nothing.
8 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 Thus saith the Lord, After this manner will I mar the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerusalem.
How many believers are doing this today? They will all be ashamed at the Lord's coming.
10 This evil people, which refuse to hear my words, which walk in the imagination of their heart, and walk after other gods, to serve them, and to worship them, shall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing.
Your faith should not be based on your imagination of your heart, but based on the word of God. Do not get involved in the new age movement, they are walking after other gods.

Do not be befuddled by the world's intoxication
Jeremiah 13:12 Therefore thou shalt speak unto them this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine: and they shall say unto thee, Do we not certainly know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?
13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit upon David's throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.
14 And I will dash them one against another, even the fathers and the sons together, saith the Lord: I will not pity, nor spare, nor have mercy, but destroy them.
It is amazing, everyone binge watches TV, or is sucked in by professional sports, or is drunken on the worldly wine in one way or another. Just look at all these people glued to their phones, glued to Youtube, glued to Facebook, glued to video games.

Wow, Stan got a vision that we are about to be hit with the great earthquake, (the opening of the sixth seal?)
Many of the links I am posting are looking at this next few days as perhaps the highest watch we have ever had for the rapture, but Stan is convinced this will not happen for years, so that is what is stunning about this word, it is contrary to his pet doctrine.
