Jeremiah Chapter 50 KJV verses thirty three and thirty four

"Thus saith the Lord of Hosts: the children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused to let them go".
Here, for the purpose of ministering to Ireland, we can say that Israel represents the Catholics and Judah the Protestants, see, they've all been taken captive to Religion together. There is no difference whatsoever between them. Sure, their doctrines may be different but they are all in bondage to the same spirit of religion that prevents them from following Christ. This demonic principality has them all intoxicated with the wine of her fornication. They are all, spiritually, citizens of Babylon. Not that there aren't wheat among the tares. In most every denomination on earth one might find true beleivers and in most, they are sincerely deceived. In other words, we can't judge their hearts (though the Holy Spirit can reveal them). Many pastors who are in bondage to religion have upright hearts before God, they really mean well and really do care for people but like the pool of Bethesda, their congregations are full of sick souls, unable to walk in true world changing faith. Bethesda means "House of Kindness" and many churches are "Houses of Kindness" yet with no power to confront Babylon and free themselves. They usually need an apostle or prophet, either directly or vicariously, to bring true freedom, so Satan convinces them the last thing they need is an apostle or prophet, in fact, they don't exist anymore. Yes, the demonic kingdom of Babylon "holds them fast and refuses to let them go". My wife Sheryl and I have seen seemingly normal, trustworthy brothers and sisters in Christ turned into pawns of the enemy, hating us and refusing our fellowship when all we did was begin to confront the spirit of Babylon in Ireland. Ireland could very well be one of the most hardened, religious nations on earth and God placed us right in the thick of the battle. We rejoice in this and thank God that he sent us there. We are standing with him and believing with all our hearts Babylon here will be "utterly destroyed" till nothing of her is left. Even as the flames of judgment consume her, we will not even have the smell of smoke upon us. We thank God for all those he has joined us with, together we will take our authority and establish the Lord's spirit as the ruling principality in Ireland, South Korea and indeed, the whole earth. Amen.
Thank God for verse 34 - "Their Redeemer is strong; the Lord of Hosts is his name: He shall thoroughly plead their cause that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon" and it's companion verse - "Therefore shall plagues come in one day (the day of vengeance of our God), death and mourning and famine and she shall be utterly burned with fire FOR STRONG IS THE LORD WHO JUDGES HER" (Rev:18:8). Part of our ministry here is to "disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon". We are called to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. We here at About Our Father's Business, confront the spirit of religion wherever we go. From time to time, at God's leading, we come into contact with religious pastors and saints and this is often to expose them so God can depose them. He is "exposing the posers". We also, wherever we go, expose the true as well as the false. We have shown those who's hearts are aligned with God's and submitted to his will and not Satan's. We saw progress in our three and a half years in Ireland, yet like Paul, the day came when we were led by the Spirit to wash our hands of them, to leave the hardened religious hearts and go elsewhere. Paul dearly loved his Jewish people, but eventually left them to go exclusively to the gentiles. Praise God that our redeemer lives! Who is this king of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle! We put our trust in him and we proclaim him as a mighty warrior, able to deliver all who trust in him. Now is the time to lift up Jesus, not as the Lamb but as the Lion of Judah. We know that in Christ, the lamb and the lion lie together but now is time for the "lion of the tribe of Juda" (Rev:5:5) to roar over our lands, Hallelujah! Satan goes about as a lion, Jesus IS a lion. I praise God for the strength of our Redeemer, strength of charachter, his uprightness of heart. He is true to his word. He is as far above fallen man as they are above the ant.
