Hello!
I have been reading your links for the past couple of days. Everything you all have been saying is conformation to what I believe the true God/Jesus has been showing me.
About six months ago I had been sensing so much darkness & lies in the government, news, even in the church. (Well it goes back even years...) So I started praying that God would show the truth & reveal the lies & tactics of the enemy.
About a month after that, one morning I was praying & I heard to go to chapter & verse of where John was preaching repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
So I asked God what was He asking me to repent of.
Then right after that prayer I heard to go to chapter & verse in Isaiah where they had the idol in the temple & God kept pushing it over until it was finally demolished.
Not long after this, little did I know He was going to show me that the very sect of the church that I had been acquainted with was a part of this great deception. (Or had been my idols & had been teaching pagan idol worship) I was listening to a minister one day & he mentioned that Rick Joyner had asked him to be a part of a secret group. Immediately I inquired to find out what group. Well that lead to many other ministers that I would find out that have all been connected together in this diabolical scheme of satan. It's like this intricate web that has been woven to catch its prey.
Anyway, I was so angry for months at these wolves in sheep clothing. And that I had fallen for these lies hook, line, & sinker.
I began to tell my family & church family about the things that had been exposed to me. Not one of them has repented & turned from listening to these people. In fact they act as if I have lost my ever loving mind.
My questions are...
What do I do now? How do I find true believers? And how do I undo 37 years of false teaching & lies?
I want to fellowship with believers, but I don't want to be taught lies. I also don't want to be with a group of people who are not sold out to our savior.
I have no one that I can turn to cause the sect of people I know has not or cannot see the truth. This saddens me & scares me to think we are truly witnessing the wheat from the tares.
To note: I have repented & asked the True Jesus to come in & be Lord.
God Bless you all for making this site!!!

Re: I have some questions that I would like to ask...
Hi Amanda, and welcome to the website the Lord Jesus Christ has given us in order that all may hear the truth. He is opening your eyes to false religion, which is everywhere one looks in this world. You ask us:
“What do I do now? How do I find true believers? And how do I undo 37 years of false teaching & lies?”
The answer is simple - you follow the One Who opened your eyes and led you here.
You continue:
“I want to fellowship with believers, but I don't want to be taught lies. I also don't want to be with a group of people who are not sold out to our savior.
I have no one that I can turn to cause the sect of people I know has not or cannot see the truth. This saddens me & scares me to think we are truly witnessing the wheat from the tares.”
If your one of the Lord's sheep, you're going to have to trust your Shepherd. You do that by obeying Him in what He shows you, and when that happens, you have nothing to fear from lies because you're walking in the truth that cannot be overtaken by falsehood:
“I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and know that no lie is of the truth” (1 John 2:21 MKJV).
John 10:27-30 MKJV
(27) My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
(28) And I give to them eternal life, and they shall never ever perish, and not anyone shall pluck them out of My hand.
(29) My Father Who gave them to me is greater than all, and no one is able to pluck them out of My Father's hand.
(30) I and the Father are one!
Be careful that you don't over-mourn for those who aren't given to see what you've received from God. Cultivate your faith instead, the same faith that Habakkuk rejoiced in:
Habakkuk 3:17-19 MKJV
(17) Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the labor of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food. The flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd is in the stalls;
(18) yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.
(19) The LORD God is my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' feet, and He will make me to walk on my high places.
Consider what the Lord says to His disciples and count the cost of following Him:
Matthew 10:34-39 MKJV
(34) Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth. I did not come to send peace, but a sword.
(35) For I have come to set a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.
(36) And a man's foes shall be those of his own household.
(37) He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me.
(38) And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.
(39) He who finds his life shall lose it. And he who loses his life for My sake shall find it.
