I am sure that you have heard the old tale that if you put a frog in cold water and slowly heat the water, the frog will not take notice and will die from the boiling water. Just a few days ago I was jolted when I read that the latest fad in Christian circles is to merge Christianity with Islam. The churches and people who are pushing this latest agenda on the destruction of the Christian churches have given a new name to their invention, “Chrislam.” It is clear that someone is heating up the water and we will soon get to the boiling point so it is time to jump out of the water and turn off the heat. We have been in a down spiral for some time with Protestant churches carrying on a dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church hierarchy; this movement is growing the fastest in Sweden where denominations for the last ten years have been speaking with Rome on how to proceed in merging the Swedish Protestant churches with the Roman Catholic Church. Spearheading this movement is are well known Swedish pastors, Ulf Ekman, from Livets Ord and Sten-Gunnar Hedin, who was the pastor for the Philadelphia Church in Stockholm. Together with his sidekicks, Pentecostal pastors Pelle Hornmark, Owe Lindeskar and Niklas Piensoho, this group has opened up Sweden for the Roman Catholicism. Sten-Gunnar Hedin and the Swedish Catholic Bishop Anders Arborelius have co-authored two books, “The Jesus Manifest,” in 2003 and, “God Here and Now,” in 2008. It is sad to see many of the monasteries that where closed after the Lutheran reformation in the 16th century are re-opening and full of monks and nuns. The founder of the Swedish Pentecostal movement, Levi Petrus, used to thunder in his sermons against the Roman Catholic Church and called her the Great Whore. The current generation of Pentecostal’s in Sweden along with Baptist’s and Mission Covenant Churches have also joined the Great Whore. It is important to note that the Assemblies of God Churches in the United States have had a standing committee since 1988 that is in constant dialogue with the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Rome and they are cooperating on the mission field in countries that have a large Catholic church and are also talking about a future merger with the Catholic Church.

At our church in Sacramento, Resurrection Life of Jesus Church, we have a member by the name of Major Reginald “Reggie” Shinn USAF (Ret) who was a navigator/bombardier on a B-26 bomber in the pacific theater during World War II. After the war he married, had a family and attended college and graduated with a Juris Doctor degree. As an attorney he worked for many years for the IRS, always making sure that the taxpayer was treated fairly. He also founded the California Pistol and Rifle Association and hosted many events in Sacramento where speakers were brought in to discuss the role the U.S. government had in oppressing the American people. In 2010 he was asked to narrate a video called “LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU SEE FIRE.” With his extensive service, first in the U.S. Army Air Corps which later became the U.S. Air Force and a doctor’s degree in law that has aided his endless search for truth concerning covert American government activities, he decided this video is truthful and tells the American people what really happened on September 11, 2001 in New York. I have personally known Reggie Shinn since 1979 and I want the viewer to know that if they trust me and this ministry, then they should have full confidence that this video is a presentation of truth that cannot be refuted. Please watch it and pray over our nation because the leadership has no scruples in murdering its own citizens to start a war. I was sickened when I woke up on September 11, 2011 and found that almost all television channels in the United States, including many Christian networks, devoted most of the day to commemorate the horrible event that took place ten years earlier in our nation. Many years ago I read the book, “1984,” by George Orwell, who was a British Jew that fought in the Spanish Civil War on the side of the socialists/communists. Coming back to England, he was depressed over the situation in the world, and as a Jew he had insight into the World Jewish leadership’s aspiration to dominate the world one day under a one world government and a one world religion. He brought out that truth became a lie and the lie became the truth, and since the government and the media proclaimed it, it had to be truth and the people had to believe it or they would be taken to the ministry of love and forcefully convinced that what the government said is true. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY Any person with an engineering education knows that a high rise building with a steel structure that is hit on the top by an airplane will not compromise the integrity of the steel below it. On 9/11 the impact of the airplanes ignited the fuel and started a raging fire but that did not melt the steel beams. Most people have seen a demolition of building on television and they always collapse straight down into a pile of rubble. This is caused by explosive charges placed at key points in the structure which makes it implode and fall straight down and not damage any buildings around it. Not only did the twin towers collapse in this manner, but there was another building further away that had not been hit by an airplane that collapsed in the same fashion. CRIME SCENE Nothing is moved at a crime scene until a thorough investigation has been done. There was no investigation of the rubble from the twin towers, instead, demolition workers were brought in and crews hauled away the steel structure around the clock where it ended up in China to be melted and turned into new steel. Some pieces of the steel were kept in the U.S., so that it could be melted and reused in Navy ships as a memorial. But the bottom line is that by melting the steel beams and girders, there was no chance for an investigation to see if traces of thermite would be found in the debris. The 9/11 murder of thousands of Americans was another “Pearl Harbor” that got us involved in wars of Afghanistan and Iraq. Which begs the question, who has benefited from these two wars? It certainly was not the American people. September 11, 2011

The Book of Revelation tells us that the nations of the world won’t be conquered by military might but by a catastrophic global financial meltdown. The cost of being rescued will be to take the Mark of the Beast. Such a result doesn’t come about overnight and requires much planning. Pastor John shares insights from a secretive document that is more than one hundred years old and lays out detailed plans of the Antichrist’s rise to power. This diabolical text discusses creating a global financial crisis, promoting greed in stock market speculation, using the environment to tie up economic development, destroying personal initiative, ruining the industrial base, flooding the world with pornography, using anti-Semitism to corral Jewish people into submission to their leaders, re-writing history, deceiving the working class and controlling the media. That may sound inconceivable but history has shown that someone is indeed following this satanic inspired game plan. The roar of a world financial crisis is getting louder and we are just around the corner from the birth of the Antichrist regime and the beginning of the tribulation period.

Did you know that 45,000 Americans killed themselves in 2016? Suicide is the ultimate rebellion against God because He is the one that creates a human being and give him life. God reserves the right to set the lifetime of a human, so when a person commits suicide, it is the same type of rebellion that Lucifer committed when he rose up against God. Deuteronomy 32:39 God does not make any exceptions; mankind is not allowed to kill himself. 1 Samuel 2:6 Suicide by hanging is the cruelest way that demons set up the death of a human being. It takes several minutes to die from asphyxiation and the person dying realizes they cannot go back and undo what they have started. Hebrews 10:26-31 Jesus is the only one who can provide happiness, joy, and contentment. John 10:7-11 According to the world, Kate Spade had it all when it came to money and fame, but in reality she had nothing since she didn’t have Jesus. She ended her life prematurely at age 55. The same could be said of Anthony Bourdain, who ended his life at age 62. Many believers fear getting old, being hopelessly sick and ending up in a nursing home. Life does not have to end on a bad note; it all depends what you have been sowing. Galatians 6:7-9 While assisted suicide may be legal with mankind, it is still a sin to God and not acceptable to Him. God is supreme and we need to respect him with our life.

The 2020 presidential election is in full swing and the noise of the Democrats is deafening as more than 22 contenders are running around like a pack of rabid dogs. The mainstream media never fails to report every new and outrageous promise, striving to one-up each other with what amounts to headline porn. Leading this race is “Sleepy Uncle” Joe Biden and “Crazy” Bernie Sanders. Either of these men can easily wreck the economy, open the border for millions of illegal aliens and stack the Supreme Court with liberal judges who will continue to systematically dismantle the constitution. THE TWO PARTY SYSTEM Over the years the powers-that-be have established two political parties in the United States. There are a number of small independent political parties like the Green Party, Libertarian Party, Reform Party of the United States, Peace and Freedom Party, American Delta Party, Prohibition Party, Modern Whig Party, Tax Revolt Party, Socialist Labor Party of America, Communist Party USA, the American Reform Party, Justice Party, American Solidarity Party, America’s Party and the U.S. Marijuana Party along with a small amount of fringe parties. None of them stand a chance in the state and national elections because they get no coverage from the mainstream media, and when different media outlets organize a debate between the democratic and republican candidates, no other candidates are invited. The smaller political parties simply do not exist as far as the mainstream media is concerned and they struggle to recruit and raise money despite social media outlets like Twitter and Facebook. Thus, these smaller political parties tie down thousands of people seeking to convey their ideas and agendas but it is a waste of time as the system has been rigged for a hundred years. The Tea Party grew strong, but it was attacked by Obama through the Internal Revenue Service. The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Central Intelligence Agency and other provocateurs from the government infiltrated the Tea Party and caused great infighting in the different local state chapters. The Trump administration and the Justice Department settled two lawsuits filed by conservative groups who had been abused by the IRS in October of 2017. The first lawsuit represented 428 groups and the second one was filed on behalf of 41 groups. The settlement included payments of $3.5 million, split among the groups, an apology from the government and an admission of wrongdoing by the IRS. The people of the World Government are only too happy to have all these small political parties. They are a diverse bunch with strong convictions; some employ Christian morals, and others are staunch believers in the Constitution and the Second Amendment. What they all have in common is that they will spend their talents, time and money to fruitlessly further their ideas. THE COMMITTEES The Democratic and Republican parties have small memberships. The Democrats claimed to have 43.1 million members in 2012 but that is merely the number of Americans who have registered with them. Most of these people are only active during the election days. The real power resides in the small core that runs the political party in the local and national elections. It is these individuals which control the committees in the cities and counties and responsible for selecting who will run for different offices. A majority of these people belong to Masonic lodges, including the Knights of Columbus, Rotary Club, Odd Fellows, Moose Lodge and Elk Lodge.

Have you ever considered the weather related disasters in the United States? Do you find it strange that in 2018 and 2019 there was some kind of catastrophic event in America each month due to extreme weather conditions? There was heavy rain with severe flooding, severe drought, unyielding cold weather with massive snow build up, strong tornadoes, massive hurricanes, relentless winds fueling fires that devour vegetation and buildings, etc. I have lived in the United States since 1963 and up to the year 2000, I do not remember catastrophic weather events happening month after month. A number of people are blaming the extreme weather on weather modification projects the HAARP military installation in Alaska or the chem trails in the sky. Then there is the Pine Gap military installation in Australia with a 5 mile deep shaft occupied by an enormous antenna that can project an energy beam into the atmosphere and change weather patterns on the earth. The extreme weather extends throughout the United States and it would be impossible for the CIA to carry out such a massive program in secrecy month after month and year after year. The fires, floods, drought, winds, and snow are destroying agriculture, causing destruction to housing and disrupting normal everyday life in the United States. Insurance companies are suffering staggering losses and refusing to insure properties in areas that will repeatedly suffer the same damage. I believe that God is judging our nation and that the judgments will increase until Christians start to wake up and call the American people to repentance. God used extreme weather to judge the nation of Israel as recorded in the Old Testament.

There is so much disinformation today when it comes to politics. Everyone has something to say about the Ukraine protests. Who are we to believe? Barack Obama, a usurper who does not believe in the very thing by which he condemns the Russians? Vladimir Putin seems to be outdoing the old propaganda machine of the former Soviet Union. We know Obama is a liar but is Putin really telling the truth or is he planting massive amounts of disinformation in the media and on the Internet? The western intelligence services have been busy spinning the truth so that it will benefit the covert world government. The people of Ukraine who rose up against the old communist boss, Viktor Yanukovych, and are not interested in anymore propaganda. All they want is freedom from tyranny. This special video is dedicated to the Ukrainian uprising and in it I will share why the Ukrainians hate the Russians. I believe that once you know the truth, you will understand their plight. Did you know there was a great slaughter from 1932 to1933 when Stalin sent in Vyacheslav Molotov and Lazar Kaganovich to crush the Ukrainian resistance against communism? At the height of the massacres, the NKVD squads with the help of Russian troops shot 25,000 men, women and children a day. The final death toll ended up with four million adults and three million children murdered by these death squads. An additional two million men and women were transported in railroad box cars to slave labor camps in Siberia and most of them died in the prison camps. This video will help you understand the Ukrainian uprising and why there is so much animosity toward the Russian government of Vladimir Putin. From the Desk of John Torell 3 March 2014

When Pharaoh refused to let Moses and the people of Israel leave Egypt, God initiated ten plagues that financially and physically destroyed Egypt. After the tenth plague, Egypt was laid waste and has never recovered since that time. God has allowed selective judgments on our nation, but size and power dramatically increased in August of 2005 when Hurricane Katrina hit the Gulf Coast and laid to waste the city of New Orleans. Thousands of people were killed and the damage was estimated around 81 billion dollars. Less than a month later Hurricane Rita slammed into Louisiana and Texas and caused damage to the tune of 11.3 billion dollars. Since these two powerful hurricanes slammed into the United States, there was the BP oil spill in the Gulf that spewed out oil for three months and destroyed wildlife and fishing from Texas to Florida. From 2010 there has been severe flooding in many states, fires burning million of acres and while some areas are covered with water, other areas are in drought. The crops were destroyed for farmers and that means higher food prices. Earlier this year the citrus crop in Florida was damaged by freezing temperatures and right now 17 states in the Midwest, including Texas and Minnesota, have been baking for weeks in a triple digit heat wave. God is also judging America in her finances. We have not recovered from the recession and more than 10% of the American work force is still unemployed. If we add all these disasters together, it is obvious that our nation has never been hit by so many disasters so close together. I have lived in the United States since 1963 and have never seen anything on this scale. I believe that God is trying to break us and bring us to repentance just like was done with Egypt so many years ago. In the meantime the homosexual community is gloating over two victories: homosexual marriages are legal in the state of New York and the mandate for California schools to teach homosexual history in public schools. I have not heard any prominent American pastor or television evangelist calling the nation to repentance. Governor Rick Perry of Texas has called for a day of prayer for the nation on August 6th and 6,000 people have sent in their registration as of July 18th. Governor Mary Fallin of Oklahoma called for a day of prayer on July 17th to break the deadly heat wave that is threatening the lives of people and livestock in that state. Some may look upon it as political posturing but it looks like our elected leaders are waking up while the pastors are sleeping. The sad thing is that a left-wing organization has filed suit against Texas and its governor, claiming that it is unconstitutional for a political leader to call for a prayer meeting. Is the current heat wave in the United States a precursor to what is described in the Book of Revelation? “And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.” (Revelation 16:8-9) How long will it be before God starts his judgment on the state of California? So far we have been spared from much of the damage done to the rest of the nation. God is not mocked, and unless America repents as a nation, the hammer will come down harder and harder until we repent or are destroyed. If the pastors are not standing in their pulpits and preaching “Thus says the Lord,” how can the people repent? Have you repented? Have you turned from your sins? Are you warning people? “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Galatians 6:7-9) Join us for our weekly webcast Sundays 9AM PST or anytime during the week at: https://eaec.org/webcast.htm

America has suffered a number of catastrophic events in the last five years stretching from coast to coast and border to border. There have been hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, drought and fires, and as a minister of the Gospel, I see these events as selective judgments from God upon a nation that has embraced sin and mocks God. This last weekend I was moved by the Holy Spirit to note that the television stations began warning people about severe weather front that stretched from Texas north to Kansas. A local station in Sacramento informed its viewers that they had sent one of their weather forecasters to Oklahoma to watch for possible disasters. During my 37 years in the Sacramento area, I have never seen something like this done and it seemed odd that a local station would send one of their reporters to an area before a disaster had occurred. When the first reports came in that tornadoes had struck Texas and wiped out a number of small towns, I began to feel that something bigger was going to come and then was a large tornado on May 20th that went through the suburb of Moore, just south of Oklahoma City. I watched the destruction of a large city and the associated death toll of adults and children with sadness. I heard a pastor on television say that we were in this together and that with faith and hard work we can come out of it. But there was something noticeably missing, this minister never spoke about the need for repentance. I was especially grieved with Barack Obama’s special announcement to the nation on May 21st. He stepped into the press room with Vice President Joe Biden and Janet Napolitano (Secretary of Department of Homeland Security), who stood quietly while Obama spoke like a child facing an adult crisis and having no solution. He claims to be a Christian but he didn’t ask the American people to seek God and repent of their sins; instead, he asked them to donate money to the Red Cross and spoke about rebuilding the damaged area. I saw a man void of any spiritual discernment and unable to give spiritual and moral leadership to the nation. WHERE ARE THE CHRISTIAN LEADERS? That night every major television network covered the devastated area from Oklahoma. As I watched the secular media comment on the event, I wondered what the Christian media had to say. It was disappointing to see two different leaders focused on money rather than repentance none of the Christian channels interrupted their programming to address the dire need of our nation. Sadly, there is no real Christian leadership in the United States today since David Wilkerson went to be with the Lord. WHO AM I? I am just a pastor/evangelist with an outreach on the Internet but this morning the Holy Spirit moved upon me to speak out and give the American people a message from God that other ministers are unwilling to do. The prophets Isaiah and Jeremiah were hated by the political leadership in Israel and despised by the people because they were bearers of bad news. However, in looking back some 2,500 years, we know these two prophets heard from God and the kings and the people were wrong.
