A new study from the Public
Religion Research Institute breaks down the top three religious traditions in
major American cities – Catholic, Protestant and unaffiliated. Based on
the data and findings from the American Values Atlas, the Huffington Post put together a
ranking of the least religious U.S. cities, according to the percentages of
religiously unaffiliated residents. Posted: 08/08/2015 07:38 PM

The number 7 least religious city
in America according to this report is Columbus, Ohio. The reason that I find
this so cool is that in the late 80’s I attended a rather large church here in
town. The preacher of this church is a pretty famous televangelist. He said on
one of his New Years Eve services that he had seen a vision from our Father of
a huge sword being swung 3 times, striking down the Leveque Tower, a landmark here
in Columbus, Ohio. He said that our Father told him that it meant that this
church, along with its prep-school, and a new Bible College that they were
starting, represented the 3 swings of
the sword. He said that our Father told him that these three entities would make Columbus, Ohio one
of the most Christian cities in the world. I am paraphrasing his prophesy from
memory, but this pretty much sums up what he was preaching that night.
Why I am writing about this is to
let you know, if a Prophet’s words do not come true, he is not a Prophet. This
sermon was over 25 years ago and Columbus has become far less religious then it
ever has been before, this church and all of its arms have failed to do what the
so called prophet proclaimed they would.
But as for the
prophet who [on the contrary] prophesies of peace, when that prophet’s word
comes to pass, [only] then will it be known that the Lord has truly sent him.
Jeremiah 28:9
Actually this news report excites me to no end. I
think what is happening is that our Father is making people sick and tired of false
religion and all of the false prophets out there, as I honestly believe this preacher
to be. I believe that any pastor who preachers what we have to do and not what
our Father needs to do through us is a false prophet.
Right now people are running away from worldly religion. Our Father is allowing people to see through the lies and deception of these false churches and prophets. Right now they are running primarily towards the world, but there is no real and lasting satisfaction to be found there for them. So they will be empowered by the Holy Spirit to turn to our Father when they become dissatisfied with the world. These people are going to be led to the Truth and they will learn the Truth that will set them free. They will flee from the lies and arrogance of worldly religion and they will be used by our Father to preach His truth to every tribe, tongue, and nation. They will not need a worldly diploma to do it either, because they will have the power of our Father, which is His Holy Spirit, flowing through them as Rivers of Living Water.
Intercede for the false prophets, ask our Father to forgive them, for they know not what they do.
