THE SEVEN MOUNTAIN MANDATE PART 4: THE LOVE OF MONEY

For centuries, the Roman Catholic Church has fraudulently told the world that it holds the keys to salvation. It has even placed these keys, symbolizing its usurped authority over all things in heaven and in earth, on the Vatican flag.i And it has made merchandise of salvation, advertising that people can pay to enter the kingdom of heaven, selling forgiveness by issuing “indulgences” and relaxed punishments for sin.


Catholicism teaches the unbiblical doctrine of eternal torment in hell, as well as the doctrine of purgatory, another place of punishment in addition to hell where a person must supposedly suffer for their sins and be refined before going to heaven. The Catechism of the Catholic Church states, “All who die in God’s grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven”.i But (surprise, surprise!!) this process can be rapidly sped up, it is claimed, as long as the living are willing to pony up and pay for expedited cleansing of the dead. In the 15th century, Johann Tetzel, one of these false hawkers of salvation, famously broadcast that, "As soon as a coin in the coffer rings, the soul from purgatory springs."


This blasphemous and shameless exploitation of public ignorance and fear led Martin Luther in his 95 Thesis to proclaim that “They preach only human doctrines who say that as soon as the money clinks into the money chest, the soul flies out of purgatory."ii Luther wrote that indulgences were sold by the papacy for the most vile crimes, so that even if a person had raped Jesus’ mother they could get forgiveness by paying money to the Pope.iv


The practice of issuing indulgences is still practiced by the Papacy today. Pope Francis before his death offered indulgences for sin and escape from purgatory during the Jubilee year of 2025.v These indulgences can be obtained, according to the Catholic Church, by going on a pilgrimage to Rome.


Another indication that the New Apostolic Reformation is among the daughters of the Roman Church of Revelation 17 is its obsession with the accumulation of filthy lucre.


C. Peter Wagner, church growth specialist, self-styled “apostle”, and often-credited originator of the name, “New Apostolic Reformation”, declares that, “Prosperity is the will of God, while poverty is the will of Satan.vi Wagner claimed that the reason Christianity had not succeeded in the Gospel commission is because it did not have enough money, asserting that money is the key to societal transformation.vii NAR Apostle Bill Johnson claims that “poverty is demonic”.viii


Wagner taught that the NAR apostles needed to enter spiritual warfare with the powerful demons that controlled the seven mountains of society, and that “we will not experience sustained societal reformation until we bind the spirit of poverty through the blood.”ix NAR apostle Lance Walnau claims that Christianity doesn’t need more conversions to shift the culture, what it needs is “more disciples in the right places, the high places.”x It seems to have eluded Mr. Walnau that the apostate kings of ancient Israels also went to the high places to practice their idolatry.xi


According to the teachings of NAR apostles, these assertions aren’t just opinions, either. “While there are several things that distinguish apostles from other members of the Body of Christ, the major characteristic that stands out over the others is their exceptional authority.”vii Like mother like daughter: the claim to authority is also papal.

So, is the problem with the advancement of the Gospel in this world due to a lack of funds? Is Jesus waiting for His people to get a big pot of money before He can send them out successfully to do His work? Is that biblical, or is it unbliblical? The test of all doctrine is the Scriptures. We are to compare the teachings of the NAR with the Bible: “To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them” – Isaiah 8:20.


The Pope claims to be the successor of Peter. He makes this boastful claim in regard to the same Apostle Peter who said to the lame man who looked to him for alms, “silver and gold have I none” – Acts 3:6. Jesus instructed the apostles to take “neither bread, neither money” (Luke 9:3) when they went out in ministry: they were to rely on the power and providence of God. But the Popes of Rome could hardly say that they have no silver or gold. The Vatican is full of both silver and gold, and all manner of costly riches in extraordinary abundance.

When Simon Magus attempted to purchase salvation and the power to work miracles, Peter sternly denounced him, saying, “They money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money” – Acts 8:20.


But Peter wasn’t finished. He continues: “Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God” – Acts 8:21. Simon had no lot or part in the Gospel ministry.


The Bible says that “the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows” – 1 Timothy 6:10.


Who had the money bag during the time Jesus was with His apostles on earth? It wasn’t Peter – it was Judas. But Judas was a thief, and he was stealing from the money bag.


Paula White Cain, another of the New Apostolic Reformation’s Apostles and official leader of the White House Faith office, recently also monetized the blessings of heaven by selling Passover cups to her followers, and promising them that if they donated more than $1000 they would receive a crystal cross and 7 blessings, including God’s assignment of an angel to them, prosperity, healing, long life, etc.



So dull has the sensibilities of Christianity become that there was hardly a ripple in response to Paul White’s outrageous advertisements. But make no mistake, promising God’s blessings in exchange for money is a page straight out of the papal playbook. God does not send angels, healing or long life if you give Paula White a thousand dollars. Martin Luther would have cried out against Paul White and her greed and exploitation of the Gospel in the same way he cried out against the corruption of the Papacy.


Notably missing from the New Apostolic Reformation’s theology is the warning to the world of the mark of the beast, which includes the end-time test where all those faithful to Christ will be unable to buy or sell – Revelation 13:17. The NAR claims that poverty is “demonic”, but Jesus was poor in this earth’s goods, and so were His apostles. The faithful end time church will also be impoverished because governments around the world, influenced by the apostate churches, will prevent those who do not have the mark of the beast from buying or selling.


Do not be deceived, Friends. The words of Christ sound the warning down to our generation. At the end, those who have hoarded earthly wealth “will cast it to the moles and the bats”, and “call for the rocks to fall” on them – Isaiah 2:19-21; Luke 23:30; Revelation 6:16. A wealthy church is no sign of the favor of God at the end, for Babylon is declared by the angel of Revelation 17 to be clothed in wealth – Revelation 17:4. The true church of God, in contrast, will be impoverished as it goes through end time events, unable to buy or sell. But like the early church, it will once more be full of the Holy Spirit, having finally heeded Christ’s message to the Laodicean Church to buy of Him gold tried in the fire, and the white raiment of the righteousness of Christ – Revelation 3:18.

May it be so.


Even so, come Lord Jesus.

THE MAN OF SIN: THE PAPAL CLAIM TO DIVINITY

By Wings of Liberty • January 18, 2026
As ecumenical dialogue sweeps the planet and the Protestant denominations return to their mother, as Revelation 17 prophesied, we wish to remind the remaining Protestants on the fence of the history of the Reformation: please remember your history, and who you are thinking of going back to. At the heart of the Reformation, is the issue of sola scriptura. The Bible is the Word of God. It is the sole rule of faith. The Papacy has always put itself above the Word of God. Like the serpent of old, it says, “hath God said?”, and insinuates itself between man and God. The Pope “opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshiped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.” – 2 Thessalonians 2:4 Nothing has changed in the Papacy. The change is in Protestantism. Please consider where you are going before it is forever too late.

The Law of Iron

The following remarkable interview occurred this week between Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller and CNN’s Jake Tapper. The discussion involved the capture of Nicholas Maduro of Venezuela, the fate of its enormous resources, and growing imperialistic intentions targeting the island of Greenland.

FAKE MONEY, FAKE SABBATH

By Wings of Liberty • December 21, 2025
FAKE MONEY, FAKE SABBATH Everyone knows it is a crime to print fake money, or to use it, also known as “passing it off”, as legal tender. If you want to go to jail fast, print fake money and give it to your buddies for their trips to 7/11. Why does the government get so bent out of shape if you make your own money? Because that’s their exclusive domain. The Constitution (Article 1, section 8) says that only Congress has the power to print money. And boy are they doing a lot of it! 38 Trillion of it in fact, and counting, and they don’t want any competition from civilians. Yes, if there’s anything left in the Constitution that the federal government actually takes seriously it’s the right to print money! The Bible says that we are to render to Caesar what is Caesar’s – Matthew 22:21. There is no doubt that regulating money is primarily the domain of government. Similar to ancient Rome, it has the faces of it's leaders on it. American money also bears the Great Seal of the United States, featuring the coat of arms on one side, and the so-called Eye of Providence on the other, a symbol which bears uncanny resemblance to the Eye of Horus in the rites of ancient Egypt, as well as the All-Seeing Eye in occult practices. God, the Creator and eternal sovereign of the universe, also has an exclusive domain, and he’s even more jealous about His authority than Caesar. Caesar has been delegated temporary oversight (by God) of civil government while this earth remains. But God has always retained sovereignty over religious matters. His domain is itemized in the first four commandments of the Decalogue, separated and enumerated on a separate table of stone to show unmistakably that this is the Creator’s exclusive domain. As part of humanity’s obligations to the Creator, God declares that the seventh day of the week is His Sabbath, and He blessed it as such. The Sabbath predates the fall of humanity – Genesis 2:1-3. It is the sign of His creative power – Exodus 20:11. It is the sign of His sanctifying power – Exodus 31:13; Hebrews 4:9, 10. The seventh day is “the Sabbath of the Lord thy God” – Exodus 20:10; Mark 2:28. God has exclusive jurisdiction over the Sabbath. It bears the great seal of the Creator – His name – the LORD; His title – Creator; His jurisdiction – heaven and earth – Exodus 20:11. God is far more jealous over His Sabbath than Congress is over money printing. The government will throw you in jail if you help it print money. But the Bible says that those who attempt to change the words of the Most High will be destroyed – Revelation 22:19. The Founding Fathers of America believed in the separation of church and state. But there has arisen new kings today “who know not Joseph”, nor the blessings that Providence bestowed on this great land in the past. The forces which are running America into the ground through debt will also establish a counterfeit Sabbath. Sunday sacredness will be exalted, and passed off to the public as the genuine article in much the same way any common counterfeiter makes fake Benjamins. If Congress jealously guards the right to print money, does it not think the God of the universe will jealously guard His Sabbath from counterfeiters? But that is what Sunday sacredness is – it is a counterfeit. It is the mark of the Papacy, and the sign of its authority. It is the Roman Catholic Papacy which boasts to have changed the law of God – it admits it is a counterfeiter. The Convert’s Catechism of Catholic Doctrine by Reverend Peter Giermann states the following: “ Question: Which is the Sabbath day? Answer : Saturday is the Sabbath day. Question: Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday? Answer: We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church in the Council of Laodicea transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday.” The Reverend Steven Keenan’s Doctrinal Catechism says similar: “ Question: Have you any other way of proving that the Church has power to institute festivals of precept? Answer: Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her; she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day; a change for which there is no Scriptural authority.” There are many indicators which demonstrate that powerful forces are pushing American society toward a union of church and state and the imposition of Sunday rest laws on the populace. Jesuit-educated Erika Kirk, the new president of Turning Point USA, has given an interview where she laments the loss of Sunday blue laws, and has stated that society must be “retrained”. i On November 13, 2025, the Michigan House of Representatives passed House Resolution 222 which officially declares November 23, 2025, as “Christ the King Sunday”. Christian Nationalists today want the same thing Pius XI wanted when he wrote his encyclical Quas Primas in 1925 (which is referenced in the Michigan resolution), and created the original Catholic Feast of Christ the King Sunday. They want a union of church and state. The Michigan resolution was sponsored by Republican state Representative and Catholic, Josh Schriver, who also sponsored a resolution in September 2025 to honor Pope Leo XIV upon his election as pope. ii The White House has issued another press release honoring another Catholic holiday. First it honored Lent, and encouraged Christians to observe Lent, which is a festival entirely devoid of biblical basis. Now it has honored the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. iii The executive branch of government has declared that, “For nearly 250 years, Mary has played a distinct role in our great American story”, and “As we approach 250 years of glorious American Independence, we acknowledge and give thanks, with total gratitude, for Mary’s role in advancing peace, hope, and love in America and beyond our shores.” The attribution of God’s blessing and protection over America to Mary is idolatry, and blasphemy. Papist Jonathan Berry, architect of Project 2025’s Sunday provisions, has been ratified as Solicitor of Labor. The Department of Labor has wasted no time in moving toward a unification of church and state. It is hosting regular prayer services where federal employees are encouraged to pray and sing hymns. iv Berry has stated his intention to restore Sunday sacredness in America and use his civil authority as Solicitor of Labor to punish transgressors of Sunday rest laws. v Sunday laws are coming. A global conversation has begun and it will grow until it becomes the dominant issue on this planet. Everyone on earth will pick a side. On one side is the Creator of the universe, and His pledge to “write His laws in our hearts and in our minds – Jeremiah 31:31-33. To make all things new. He says, “Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.” On the other side is the ecumenical movement, the Papacy, the civil and apostate powers of government, and their false Sabbath, the eminent pagan day of the Sun. You will decide where you stand. ________________________________ i https://www.youtube.com/shorts/2HjvrMaHnlw ii https://www.wingsofliberty.net/michigan-house-of-representatives-pass-resolution-to-establish-papal-holiday iii https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-statements/2025/12/presidential-message-on-the-feast-of-the-immaculate-conception/ iv https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/12/politics/department-of-labor-hosts-first-prayer-service-emulating-regular-pentagon-events v https://www.wingsofliberty.net/copy-of-the-curse-of-church-and-state-part-3-liberty-threatened
