 Western Wall
There is a spirit of fear, but our Lord said something to His disciples in Luke Chapter 12 and verse 32. He said, Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you
the kingdom.
Special guest Ron Poch explains the some thing that take place in the lives of Christians, that you really have to have a walk with God. You don’t need to be possessed with a spirit of fear, but not all fear is bad. Fear can be
arrestive. It can stop you from going in a certain direction, but when it becomes paralytic, that’s when it’s damaging.
Our God has been at work, and today, He’s at work in your life and in mine, to deliver us from the spirit of fear, and fear is a spirit. Fear does have torment, and it can just be very, very debilitating in your walk with God. And there are things that have happened in, in my life, and I want to give
testimony of what took place, just a few weeks ago.

 Who Was Mechisedec?
Long before the Levitical priesthood was established, a higher order was established. Melchisedec is a dual office, serving as Priest and King. The writer of the book of Hebrews draws a comparison, between the Melchisedec order and the Levitical order of priests. We begin with a genealogy in Genesis, taking a look at men who made offers unto the Lord long before the institution of the Levitical priesthood and compare the functions of these two offices.
The Levitical order of Priesthood is over, but the Melchizedek office is still in existence. We define that office, its function in the earth today, and its function in the coming kingdom of God.

 Hot and Cold
The Lord Jesus said, in Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
The City of Laodicea obtained water from hot springs piped in from some distance away. By the time it reached the city, this water was too warm to drink, and too cool to use as a health bath. So it was considered lukewarm. That’s a description of the city and the age, in which these people felt financially secure. They felt financially independent. They felt as though they had been blessed in the material realm.
There’s a strong lesson for us to heed and to obey. The prosperity of the modern church, has ruined genuine spirituality. The church’s spiritual condition was indicative of the social condition. I’m talking about the Church at large, throughout North America and other parts of the world, we are rich, we are increased with goods, you can hear many ministers brag about their riches, put a spiritual value on money, and especially the money that’s coming their way, and teach the prosperity message, not with a humble spirit, but with a proud spirit, and give all types of Biblical justifications for their wealth, but it’s going to fade away, because their wealth is based on the dollar bill. The material possessions all have monetary value, whether it be a home, fancy cars, airplanes, property. It all has monetary value based upon the U.S. dollar. And that is riches according to the value of the carnal standard of life, money, just filthy lucre. The modern church today, in my opinion, has too much money.

 Three Unclean Spirits
Three unclean spirits have been released into this world. John the revelator is writing as he sees the vision. And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of the great day of God Almighty. Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watches and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame. And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
The three unclean spirits in this world are religious, they are causing trouble and distress to nations and around these spirits wars take place.
In the book of I Timothy Chapter 4 and verse number 1, Paul is speaking to Timothy and he said, Now the Spirit, that’s the Holy Spirit, speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, and giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils. There’s a lying spirit in the land. There is a lying spirit in the land, and this lying spirit is convincing people to depart from the faith that was given to the early Apostles, and that faith is summed up in I Timothy 3:16, without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh. And what that, and, and, the other five truths involved in that verse, what Paul is saying is that there’s a lying spirit in the land, a deceiving spirit, and it’s against Jesus Christ, in denying His Deity.
What is the antichrist spirit? In I John Chapter 4 verse 1, he says, Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: But every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should appear, or come, and even already is now in the world.
When a spirit denies the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ that is the antichrist spirit. In I Timothy, Chapter 4, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils, Speaking lies in hypocrisy. Now what religions have denied or are still denying the Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ?

 Enemies of the Church
What are the enemies of the Body of Christ? Beginning in Revelation 3:14 we read, And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;
15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16 So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
17 Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
Based upon verse 17 what would you say are the enemies of the Body of Christ? Now, we take it that these churches consisted of Christians, born again people, but at this stage in their existence of the Laodicean Church, they became lukewarm. They weren’t hot, they weren’t cold. They were lukewarm, and it was something that was obnoxious to the taste of the Almighty God. He said, I will spue thee out of my mouth, because you have taken the attitude, because thou sayest, I am rich, I’m increased with goods, I have need of nothing. But there’s some things that you do not know. You’re wretched, you’re miserable, you’re poor, you’re blind, you’re naked. What are the enemies of the Church?
Materialism, Ignorance, and Uncleanness

 Hiding in a shell
The world in which we live is filled with fear and confusion. The conditions of the world today are equivalent to the days before the flood. We read in Genesis 6:11, The earth also was corrupt before God and the earth was filled with violence.
The modern institutionalized church has split up into denominations and even different doctrines within those denominations. The church has drifted away from the simplicity of the Gospel. The modern institutionalized denominational church seems to be involved in building and maintaining a great empire for themselves. Just like the federal government, the church denominations are maintaining a top-heavy leadership to control the organization. The church world has slipped into an entertainment mode, much like the old Roman Empire with the mentality of circus and bread. Keep the people occupied and entertained to keep them in church and maintain the control.
In times of trouble, the Lord wants us to have peace. Genuine peace for a child of Gos is not the absence of trouble, but it is the presence of God. There is our peace.

 Battle Hymn
We all have hymnals filled with wonderful songs and hymns. In Ephesians Chapter 5 verses 18 and 19 we read, And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord.
In most hymn books across this country, there is a song that should not be there - The Battle Hymn of the Republic. We take a look at the history of this song and why it does not belong in the category of Christian hymnology. It should not be included in our hymnbooks.
Now, the war had begun, the war that we called the Civil War, which was not really a civil war. It was a war between the states, because thirteen states had officially pulled out. They were not trying to take over the government in Washington, it was a separate country, separate cabinet, separate President, separate capitol city, and separate armies, so they were fighting one another as two separate countries.
But there was a woman, the wife of Samuel Gridley Howe, the medical doctor, and Mr. Howe was a, a rich man, and he met these three sisters, and they were the Ward sisters. They were intelligent. They all had a lot of money from New York and he fell in love with Julia.
