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 Sun Is Setting on the British Empire

By Wings of Liberty • October 18, 2025
Humanity is accelerating toward the fulfillment of Bible prophecy and the events warned of in Revelation 13-18. Ecumenism is bringing Protestantism back into harmony with the Papacy. The wall of separation between church and state is under attack from religeonists who covet state power to compel their dogmas on the human population. We have passed another signpost. The Church of England split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534 during the Reformation over a dispute about papal authority and the annulment of Henry VIII’s marriage. As a result of this schism, Anglicans have long had an established creed similar to the Westminster Confession of the Reformed Church. Like the Westminster Confession, the “39 Articles of Anglicanism” formally rejects the papal claim to universal supremacy for the Bishop of Rome. The 39 Articles of Anglicanism include the following: “As the Church of Jerusalem, Alexandria, and Antioch, have erred, so also the Church of Rome hath erred, not only in their living and manner of Ceremonies, but also in matters of Faith”; “The Romeish Doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, Worshiping and Adoration, as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saints, is a fond thing, vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture, but rather repugnant to the Word of God”, “It is a thing plainly repugnant to the Word of God, and the custom of the Primitive Church to have public Prayer in the Church, or to minister the Sacraments, in a tongue not understanded of the people”, “Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, are not commanded by God's Law, either to vow the estate of single life, or to abstain from marriage: therefore it is lawful for them, as for all other Christian men, to marry at their own discretion, as they shall judge the same to serve better to godliness”, and “ The Bishop of Rome hath no jurisdiction in this Realm of England.” The Popes assert they “hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty”. England rejected these boastful claims and the Pope’s presumptuous authority to dominate the minds and hearts of humanity. It is not a coincidence that while many other European countries were suffering under the oppression of the Inquisition, England was advancing toward empire. So vast was is influence at one time it was famously even claimed that “the sun never sets on the British empire”. But a great change has come. For some decades England, which never sufficiently distanced herself from Rome doctrineally, has been increasingly friendly toward the Papacy. Today, the globalism of the Roman pontiff is the globalism of King Charles III. The climate change agendas of Pope Francis and Pope Leo XIV are also shared by King Charles III, the latter of who’s father publicly advocated for population reduction and compared humanity to a “plague”. England is also adopting digital IDs and carrying out mass surveillance and censorship on its own citizens, a practice near to the hearts of the prelates of Rome, to be sure. And now, King Charles III, who holds the title of not only king but Supreme Governor of the Anglican Church, is headed to Rome to hold a public prayer ceremony with Pope Leo XIV. The leader of the Anglican Church has not engaged in public prayer with the Bishop of Rome for approximately 500 years. According to the Royal Palace, “This will be the first state visit, since the Reformation, where the Pope and the Monarch will pray together in an ecumenical service in the Sistine Chapel, and the first time the monarch will have attended a service in St Paul’s Outside the Walls, a church with an historic connection to the English Crown.” According to MSN News, Charles III will also accept a new title. “Charles is also being recogenised for the British monarchy’s historic association with the Papal Basilica of St Paul’s Outside the Walls in Rome, the seat of a Benedictine Abbey, and will be made “Royal Confrater” of the abbey.” Rome never changes. The Papacy has not retreated one letter from its false doctrines. It still claims authority over this earth. It still teaches the false doctrine of purgatory and forbids priests to marry, as well as many more false doctrines which Protestants, including Anglicans, object to. So why this ecumenical development today? The change is with the Anglican Church, which is drifting back toward the once-estranged mother as prophecy foretells. The light of sola scriptura that was brought to England by the Bible is being rejected. It seeks the company of the pope, the pretender to the throne of Christ. Like Israel of old, Anglicanism will say, “we have no king but Caesar.” Of all the Protestant denominations, Anglicanism is the closest to Catholicism. The pageantry and formal rites still have many similarities. England mirrors the union of church and state of Roman Catholicism by unifying church and state in the person of the monarch of England. It has no pope, but it has a king who claims to be the head of the church. Now that king will go to Rome. All roads lead there, it is said, and Protestantism has set itself to prove it. The sun is setting on the British empire after all.

THE CURSE OF CHURCH AND STATE, PART 4: THE FIRST DUTY OF CITIZENS

By Wings of Liberty • October 3, 2025
“ It is proper to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. We hold this prudent jealousy to be the first duty of Citizens...” – James Madison, Memorial and Remonstrance Let us soberly consider Madison’s warning. It is “ proper ” to be alarmed at the “ first ” experiment (in modern terms, “threat”) to our liberties . The first threat, mind you. And, not only is it “proper to take alarm”, but “ this prudent jealousy ” is the “ first duty of citizens .” What a warning! Our world is full of tyrants. There are tyrants on the Left, and yes, do not deceive yourself, there are also plenty of tyrants on the Right. Let us soberly evaluate ourselves as citizens then. Have we, do we, exercise “that prudent jealousy” to safeguard individual liberties, not only ours but the individual liberties of our society? No. If we are honest, the answer is “no.” Collectively and individually, western society has woefully failed to take alarm when individual liberties are threatened. If “eternal vigilance is the price of liberty”, as Jefferson said, we should expect to be enslaved. And we ought not to be surprised that this is precisely what is happening. We are entertained. We are preoccupied. We are self-absorbed. And we have failed to be vigilant for liberty. What liberties are we to guard? We do not have to guess. We are to jealously safeguard as our first duty those liberties enshrined in the Constitution. First and foremost, we are to safeguard the separation of church and state, freedom of religion, free speech, freedom of the press, and the right to assemble. Before considering the existential threat to liberty that Christian Nationalism poses, which is the primary subject of this article, we first must make dishonorable mention of certain other threats to liberty which so many of us have ignored to our shame and peril. Compulsion to use biologically discordant gender pronouns is a threat to liberty. Silence while the world plays make-believe about men becoming women and having babies is a threat to liberty. Government removal of parental rights is a threat to liberty. Suing bakeries to punish them for refusing to make wedding cakes for gay weddings is a threat to liberty. And yes, killing millions of babies in utero is absolutely a threat to liberty. Not only is it uncivil and immoral, it is national suicide to wilfully destroy the next generation of human beings. Killing millions of babies is correlated with western willingness to accept mass migration. There is a need to replace workers the western world does not have. How is that going for you, France? Germany? UK? America? But if any of the above makes you feel partisanly righteous, however, let us disabuse you of your sanctimony. Both Left and Right governments locked their populaces down during Covid. Both forced and bullied their citizens into social distancing and “two weeks to flatten” the spine of the population. What would Madison have said about an America where the government threatens the civil liberties of the entire country, and American’s response was to roll up their sleeves, and say, “fine, Fauci says I need it, and I really want a free hamburger”? We are to take alarm at the First Experiment upon our liberties. And when does that start? Is 37 trillion dollars of national debt a threat to liberty? What about currency debasement? Mass warrantless public surveillance? Digital money tied directly to the Federal Reserve so that authorities can shut your entire life off with the push of a button? No, Christian Nationalism is not the first threat to liberty. Not even close. But it is a threat to liberty and more than this, it is biblically prophetic, as we have discussed. Click Here For Previous Articles You might ask – why shouldn’t the Christian Right take control of civil power and abuse the Left as much as the Left has abused us? And we could respond, and do respond, “because it is unconstitutional”. And it is. But the answer is bigger than that. Doug Wilson, and Jared Longshore. Timon Cline and Lennox Kalifungwa. Stephen Wolfe. These, and many other modern and intolerant “Christian” thought leaders all believe in the establishment of a Christian Republic in America as a cure for society’s ills. What do they propose? Liberty? Far from it. The Woke Left violated free speech through state-sponsored gender confusion and forced pronouns. The Christian Nationalist response is blasphemy laws enforced by the state. Doug Wilson and friends are constantly telling everyone who will listen how great the Puritans in Massachusetts were, and that they founded America, which is false by the way. But they do not tell you that in Massachusetts violations of blasphemy laws were historically punished by piercing the offender’s tongue with a hot poker, or death. Today in Massachusetts, a blasphemy law still exists (although it is not currently enforced), and states as follows: Section 36: Blasphemy Section 36. Whoever wilfully blasphemes the holy name of God by denying, cursing or contumeliously reproaching God, his creation, government or final judging of the world, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching Jesus Christ or the Holy Ghost, or by cursing or contumeliously reproaching or exposing to contempt and ridicule, the holy word of God contained in the holy scriptures shall be punished by imprisonment in jail for not more than one year or by a fine of not more than three hundred dollars, and may also be bound to good behavior. Are we so blind that we do not see that censorship from the Right is as much a threat to liberty as censorship from the Left? Christian Nationalists claim Swiss Reformer John Calvin is the father of America. This is a dangerous and outrageous falsehood, and will be the subject of an upcoming article. It must never be forgotten that John Calvin had men murdered for the supposed crime of heresy, the substance of which was nothing more than disagreeing with John Calvin. The Woke Left hijacked government to enforce their religion of gender ideology. And Christian Nationalists want to establish Protestantism as an official state religion, contrary to the First Amendment to the Constitution. Doug Wilson and company intend to legislate compliance with the first table of the Ten Commandments. That includes blasphemy laws, of course, but also Sunday ‘Sabbath’ blue laws, and punishments for supposed violations. Violations of Sunday laws historically included whipping. Jailing. Chain gangs. Stocks. And death. And in case you were wondering, all of those things when imposed for simply disagreeing with religious bigots are a threat to liberty. Christian Nationalists want to demolish the separation of church and state in America, and even admit their intention to impose a religious test for public office, contrary to the Article VI of the Constitution: The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the Members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial Officers, both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution ; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States. Doug Wilson and company are openly stating their intention to threaten the liberty of every single American. Madison would have opposed them publicly, were he alive. But he has left the trust to us. Madison as a youth stood outside a local prison and listened to an incarcerated minister preach through the bars of his cell window. The minister had been imprisoned for the so-called “crime” of “preaching the Gospel incorrectly”. Because he had seen oppression from religious bigots firsthand, James Madison had a lifelong animus to the union of church and state. And so should you. It is a threat to liberty, and it is your first duty as a citizen to take alarm at the first experiment on our liberties. ********************************* Sources: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmSG4U06X2o – Discussion between Walter Veith et al and Doug Wilson where Doug Wilson states he is in favor of the state establishment of the Protestant religion. “I believe the Christian faith ought to be the public faith of our civic polity. That’s why I’m a Christian Nationalist.” – Doug Wilson, minute 33:30. Wilson claims he nevertheless believes in the First Amendment and the separation of church and state, which is disingenuous. He also believes the government should enforce the first table of the Decalogue, proving further that he is really aiming to break down the wall of separation between church and state. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dgkfi191qV0 – David Shepherd and Lennox Kalifungwa interview Pastor Douglas Wilson and Ben Merkle https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hRZ1eTNX65w – Senate hearing on Covid shot safety, September 2025 https://www.senate.gov/about/origins-foundations/senate-and-constitution/constitution.htm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFeIO0ZjdF8 - CNN interview with Christian Nationalist Doug Wilson
