Insanity in the Church: The Powerful Delusion Sent by God By Timothy Williams www.amazon.com/Insanity-Church-Timothy-Williams/dp/1579213901/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpi_6Info taken from back of the book: Are you being taken in by the insanity gripping the church today? Paul stated that he was out of his mind when forced to boast of his strengths. Yet, the church believes in and brags of it sgrand works, falsely thinking that such things come from the hand of God. Therefore, God will send a powerful delusion in the end times so they continue to believe this lie.
Insanity in the Church reveals the specific sins and false teachings that drive the church insane. The powerful delusion manifests itself through:
- Money madness
- Numbers Madness
- Pleasure Madness
- Authority Madness
- And many other insanities
Nearly everyone talks of the sad state of the church, its corruption, and need of repentance. Yet, the narrow road remains so obscure that only a few find the cure. Only a sincere return to the offensive message of the cross will stop the disease from spreading.

Well, in all honesty, and you are the first to know...I feel that God may be calling me out of this "system" but I don't how to go about it. I feel that the fellowship and building of the saints is essential (as Scripture says) as we come together in love in this last day but I have no idea what that is supposed to look like or where I fit in to it. On the other side, I don't feel that it would be wise of me to make any movements without first having a clear direction from the Lord (which I need to committ to some serious prayer and fasting and studying) and secondly, my husband is on the complete opposite end of this spectrum. I would also hate to make any emotional decisions. I was wondering what God had given this gentleman concerning it. I am reading The Harlot System right now. I am just looking into what God has revealed to others about this but will not base my decision on what they say but on where the Lord will lead.
Mia, let's just say I am in a VERY uncomfortable place right now. VERY UNCOMFORTABLE. I admit I have not been handling this too well. I had a dream the other night that kind of shook me up a bit and has me asking some questions but not 100% sure if there was something God was communicating with me.

I am sorry to hear of your distress Tika, however, perhaps it is all for the glory of God. Oftentimes, change can be discomfiting, yet we must still go through to get to the place God has for us.
I would be happy to mail you the copy that I have of this book, but I don't think it would be very helpful considering what you are praying about. I will however mail you out something tomorrow which I pray will be used of God to provide more peace and direction to you at this time.
I completely agree that the best place to be is in fastings in prayer to hear clearly from God what to do. The last thing to do is act based on emotion.
Brother Charles Newbold (author of The Harlot Church System) ministers greatly in that book, but you may also want to read "The Crucified Ones" by him which is also powerful. It is linked in the books section too and is available in its entirety on-line from that link.
I am standing with you in prayer about this, that God make His word to you clear and order the steps of you and your husband so that you are both where you need to be in Him.
Much love in Christ Sister! Mia
