“However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?”
Luke 18:8
There are some statements & questions Jesus has said or asked that I have struggled with for years. I want to focus on this question during this Easter weekend as millions of Christians around the world celebrate the death, burial & Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
I grew up in the catholic church where I was initially introduced to Jesus. He was a partially naked man wearing a crown of thorns on his head, he seemed dead as he hang lifeless on the cross.
Catholic recitals & traditional prayers gave me more information on this Jesus. He was a redeemer & the one you ask forgiveness from because he died to cleanse us from our sins. But there was a catch, he could only forgive us through the help of Mary, the Father or the angels. Some samples of the prayers went like this
I know my sins have wounded Thy Tender Heart,
O My Savior, let me be freed from the bonds of evil through
the most bitter Passion of My Redeemer. Amen.…O my God, in union with the Immaculate Heart of Mary
[kiss your Scapular)I offer Thee the Precious
Blood of Jesus from all the altars throughout the world…O JESUS, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I offer You my prayers,
O MOST MERCIFUL JESUS, lover of souls,
I beseech Thee, by the agony of Thy most Sacred Heart,
and by the sorrows of Thine Immaculate Mother,
wash clean in the Thy Blood the sinners of the whole world
who are to die this dayThe Jesus I learnt about wasn’t sovereign & above influence, he was a God who got his feelings hurt if I sinned, he needed help to redeem people and had to work in collaboration with almost everyone to just redeem one individual.
I had to perform a lot of confessions as well, as God was almost angry all the time, I had to engage in church practices to soothe him & continually recite prayers to Mary to calm him down. In the process I got stressed and developed OCD tendencies such as repeating menial tasks.
In my teen years, I moved to the Protestant church and met a different Jesus, this one loved more and was easier to get along with. After inviting him into my heart and feeling sensations of love moving in my chest, I felt loved for the first time. I’ve since learnt that love is not a feeling, its in action but that’s another topic.
Feeling that I had finally met the real Jesus, I settled in church and became active in prayer meetings, choir practice, intercessors group etc. I came to find out almost immediately that this Jesus was worse than the one in the catholic church. The demonic attacks started from inappropriate sexual thoughts about Jesus. Hindsight is 20/20 because as I look back, those thoughts distressed me greatly, I never enjoyed them so how could they have come from me? Demons were projecting these thoughts into my mind & they had the right to my mind since I said the sinners prayers and let them in.
I analyze this Jesus I was worshiping and things don’t add up:-
Appearance
How can someone who lived in Palestine in the 1st century have pale skin, blue eyes? am not claiming Jesus as black either but lets be real here and put our pride aside, something that is hard to do as all races engage in some form of racial pride. But for those who seek truth, you should ask yourself where did this image come from & does it match the people who lived in that area, at that time.
Redeemer
How can a redeemer need help to save you? He either has the power to redeem you or he doesn’t, this is not a team effort where everyone needs to chip in. The teaching of Jesus having a co-redeemer in Mary and other people is a false teaching.
He also asks to be invited into your heart, and that is dangerous as much as it seems simple. Demons can only enter your life when you give them the right to be there, so they trick many to let them in by masquerading as God. Jesus never said anything about entering our hearts. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father and not entering hearts, an imposter is doing that.
Sovereignty
Jesus rose up from the dead victoriously defeating sin & death for his chosen people, yet the Institutional church talks about him continually crying and hurting over our sins. How? Jesus said the gates of hell will not prevail on his church & his church is not the institutional church but the believers from the 1st century to now.
When I joined RESCUE, Pastor Pam armed me with information that delivered me from the fake Jesus and gave me healing in my mind from all the assault I went through in the catholic & protestant churches. All those years in the institutional church and I didn’t even know the real Jesus!!
I was worshiping the fake Jesus and the rotten fruits were evident – lack of spiritual growth, not understanding the bible, demonic attacks, mental deterioration to name a few.
When you see the mega churches, crusades where millions go forward & accept Jesus, Christian TV, you can think wow! The church of Jesus is growing but which Jesus because there are many. I think Jesus was giving a clue in that question as well. Don’t be fooled by anything labeled “christian” or “Jesus”
As we celebrate the death & Resurrection of Jesus during this weekend, lets be sober and question long held beliefs & one of the questions is which Jesus are you worshiping?
For those who don’t even know where to start, get a copy of the Fake Jesus, this book was the beginning of my own deliverance and helped me get to know the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Which Jesus Are You Worshiping? Is It the Fake Jesus?

I’m not saying I disagree with the fake Jesus, but how it possible for me to be worshiping the fake Jesus? Like what avenues make it possible for the fake Jesus to enter into your life? If we are all saved by confession of our sins and baptized into salvation, isn’t the same Jesus entering us all? And how do we get connected to the real Jesus? Jesus of Nazareth? So does this mean if a person for example thought they were worshiping the real Jesus for their entire life since baptism (age 9) and so on and have been following a plan they thought was orchestrated by the real Jesus… is the real Jesus still able to move in a person’s life despite the fake Jesus they may have accepted unintentionally? Can the person be restored to get back on the path God has for them and the destiny set forth for their life? Or have that particular person been following the wrong path all along?

GOod questions, Spence. The Lord says in Matthew 7 that there will be people who will say that they cast out demons and prophesy in His name, and He responds with I NEVER KNEW YOU. How could that be? It’s because a fake or a mixed gospel was preached to them, they were worshipping a God of their own imagination, and not the real Jesus.
You have a lot of questions that I have already answered in my books. These are the two that will answer your questions.

Hi Walter, the books listed by Pastor Pam will help answer your questions. One thing i can tell you is Jesus of Nazareth does not save by “entering someone’s heart”. If you ever made a prayer requesting he enters into your life or your heart you were tricked into accepting the fake Jesus.

I ask you why would you put that kind of thought out to any one. Words take thought captive and is the battle ground for Satan to afflict the minds of some one. So why ask a question that puts any ones mind at risk of being in doubt of there faith in Jesus our lord. And his love. I ask you would you ask Jesus if he is the true Jesus. I believe in him I ask the lord to be my lord and savior I say this do you know him . Really know him.
I have have to died when i was 8 years old and my life was spared by Jesus so I ask you the same question what would jesus do , but also words can bring one down and words can build up. Are you using words to help set free one that is in a snare or the words to set free. What would Jesus say also in this. A kind word can set some one free not striving questions. Now i am a true believer of the word of God. Now could your handle a the things Jesus pulled me through I most likely think that he spared my life at 8 years old as he did with Lazarus, now i would like to ask you the word of my mouth and his blood we over come Satan now I truly believe i can walk and talk to say hey I ask we are warded about striving questions , I am here for the Lords will to be done. My purpose for living for i would not be alive with out Jesus sparing my life. Now the son of Abba Father and Abba Father loved me so much he cared me all my life because he saw the trouble others would give me after the deliverance from a man whom sinned against me and against The Lord. I prayed every day and hoped every day for the Lord to heal the hurt that was en flicked on me after the facts of the evil man I had to let God deal with. The facts is muddy works is never ok by God it was not his will that happened but i believe warrior training is always harsh any way.God Bless And Be with you always.

Vickie, the author of this post did not originate this thought. Jesus Himself did. HE warned that there would be people who say they were worshipping Him, casting out demons, prophecying etc, and He would say I NEVER KNEW YOU.
SO it is obvious that if the Lord never knew them, some other being did. They were worshipping an imposter whom we refer to as “the fake Jesus.” EVen so, there are many fake gods several of whom impersonate Jezus Christ of Nazareth.

Hi Vicky, In 1 John 4, the scripture reads “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”
We live in a time where we must ask questions, we must test the spirit. You are not dishonoring Jesus by analyzing your spiritual life especially your born again experience to see whether it was from God or it was from the fallen angels masquerading as God.
In Acts 17:11 you have the believers in Thessalonica who were commended over the fact that they searched scripture, they didn’t passively accept anything taught or any spiritual experience they had, they examined the beliefs they held on to.
It can be challenging and even scary to do this by yourself, but you can start by reading more blog posts, there are videos & books that can help you begin. You can also reach out to RESCUE ministry as shown on the right side of this blog.
The truth is never afraid to be challenged because it will hold up even when you have finished examining it. Lies on the other end are afraid to be exposed.
