Let me tell my story. My name is Matthew Downey.
I am 31 years old. When I was 17, my friends who I trusted to be normal turned out to be in a cult. They spoke in code, so there was no way to prove this, so I got away from them. I went to church and got saved at a very popular USA church which has a vast TV ministry. I do not wish to say which one. When I was in that church for about 2 years, I went to a book store one day and saw a book that had the exact same message as the above video.
When I went back to church the next day, with this new thought in my heart, I looked for possible people upsetting the atmosphere, and sure enough, there were two guys in the back acting up. This became more and more people. I noticed everyday a new person who I previously thought was a Christian obviously now trying to scare me. They threatened me, also in code, that I would be killed soon. I left Bible college, dropped out, and moved back home. Then I noticed that everyone at my job was this way too.
I quit work and ended up homeless because I believed it was the mark of the beast and also the abomination of desolation. Because the Bible says to flee to the mountains when you see the abomination of desolation, even though I didn't live in Judea, I went so insane with worry that I would accidentally receive the mark of the beast, that I ran away from home and became homeless. I lived on the streets of AZ far from my family and all I owned outside, eating from dumpsters for 3.5 months.
Later I gave up hope in God, but He restored me back to Him once I was home and safe. He let me know I had never done anything unforgivable, though I thought I had committed the unforgivable sin.
If you are experiencing fear from this set of circumstances in the earth, let me offer you some hope. Though I have been waiting for a very long time now, Jesus is probably coming back THIS year. The deception and rampant fallen state of the churches has become so increased that they are barely safe places for true Christians anymore to feel loved and protected. So, contact me with a private message on here.
I cannot say I check this site daily, but because of the rampant wake-up call to the world that is now apparent, even in this malicious thread, I know Jesus is coming back. You can depend on me to be with you in times of trouble, no matter how hard they get. I am ready to die for Jesus and probably will. However, I have been told I would be killed daily for the past 13 years without consequence. No one has ever laid a hand on me, despite these threats. Like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego, or Daniel escaping death when refusing to bow or not pray, I have been miraculously kept by GOD'S Almighty power, the TRUE God, in heaven above, no where beneath this earth.
So trust in God, private message me, and wait on God. Stay in the Word, don't let what your eyes see change what your faith KNOWS. God will protect you and I, so long as we WANT Him to. No one is martyred unless they first decide they are willing. I have almost reached the place where I feel it would be better served if I just departed to be with the Lord like Paul said in Philippians.
However, because there are so many children on earth who are waking up to this monstrousity of a nightmare, I believe I shall remain in the flesh with you.
So hang in there and know you are not the only one going through this time. It's not easy, but it does get EASIER. Believe that. And tribulation is to be counted as joy, because in truth, it really is joy. Be wholely joyful in it, knowing God is your Vindicator and Rescuer. And I am His very good friend.
Message me today! God bless you. ~Matthew Downey, Columbus, Ohio
P.S. Pray that I find your message quickly and pray for me while you wait. I will be praying for the church at large as is my usual custom. Peace be with you now and forever. Amen.
