All their works and changes are done for appearance’ sake. Like the Pharisees in Jesus’ time, they do them to look good in the eyes of others. They are not worshipping God in spirit and in sincerity (Jn 4:23,24), which is the only acceptable mode of worship for New Covenant believers.

Oh, Joseph Tkach says he’s changed the course of the church. He’s certainly done that! But he hasn’t reformed it from its cultic past and brought it into the liberty of the Spirit. That’s where true freedom is (2 Cor 3:17).

He talks the talk, but doesn’t walk the walk. Like most WCG leaders, he is intent on walking his own path, to make a name for himself, rather than for the One who rules supreme (although He’s NOT given that right in the WCG!)

Tkach has learned the jargon, parroted the clichés, and regurgitated what he has swallowed out of many theological books. But he hasn’t reformed the church for the better, rather the worse!

If WCG changes were authentic, you would see reconciliation taking place between those whom the church formerly shunned for speaking out against WCG abuses. But you don’t see that reconciliation taking place. No, you only see a perpetuation of the deep and even vitriolic division that WCG mentors maintain by their unspiritual ambivalence.

Reconciliation Shunned!

I have tried on numerous occasions to find reconciliation with former friends in the WCG, and on every occasion my attempts have been rebuffed by those who misinterpret them as threats to their security.

They are right! They ARE threats to their security. But they are not a threat to true security which is in Christ. As long as they deny Him by their duplicity, they will feel insecure.

What have they got to fear from me, or from anyone else who sees through their sham? They have to fear the exposure of their deceitful little play-act. They have to fear the erosion of their control over the minds of those they oppress. They have to fear the further dismantling of their scummy little ‘spiritual’ empire, as truth becomes valiant against the perpetrators of deceit.

Yes, there IS fear in the WCG! It is not so much fear of God, as fear of men who are playing God. They are not true peacemakers, but despots in disguise, behaving as they have always done, to outlaw the prophets of God who rise up from within or who come from without. WCG leaders are united in their attempts to keep them out of the church!

The WCG is not the Worldwide Church of God. It is more apt to say it represents the worldwide cult of Tkach, because he is the head of the church while he keeps the door firmly shut on the Spirit, and makes his deceitful leadership act ever more cunningly convincing.

The Dream is A Warning From God

The dream from God confirms that WCG ‘religious’ behaviour is a pretence. While the deacon depicted in the dream is a real person, he also represents a mindset that is predominant in the church and which is imbibed from the leadership’s demons. That approach is one of implacability.

WCG leaders won’t ‘come clean’. They can’t. How can charlatans be anything other than charlatans? That’s the problem with the WCG. It is being led by fakes, not by men of God. And as long as its members follow such men, they submit to the demons which lead them.

The WCG is going nowhere other than ‘hell’. It’s time to call a spade a spade, to quit the flattery and guile, and to honestly reform in New Covenant mode.

You, as a WCG member or ex-member can reform and throw off the cultic demons of your past, but it’s not easy. It will take some honest confession before God; rejecting the pride that WCG engendered and still retains; and some vigorous renouncing of following men in place of the Spirit of God.

Yes, you can reform. But don’t expect your church leaders to do so. That’s a vain hope. They have charted their course. Their agenda is power and control, and they are not about to alter it now. They are implacable. Those are not just my words. They are from the One who died to cleanse us by His blood. He wants His children in the WCG (the few!) to come out of ‘Babylon’ and follow Him.

In the Mouth of Three Witnesses

Objections may be raised that I am only one witness against the WCG, so how can ‘my’ words be trusted? In answer, I say, I am not alone. The One who ‘sent’ me has raised up many voices who cry out.

Other contemporary prophets have received words from God recently that the Church is entering a time of intense judgement. Thomas S Gibson, for example, prophesied on 5th May 1997 that many have been resisting the words of the Lord and that judgement will soon follow (prophecy #93). You can access his prophecies at:

On 7th May 1997, he received another word which simply said: "Judgement shall soon come on the house of God." (Prophecy #95.)

Frances Pike, of Oklahoma City, was given this prophetic utterance on 17th August 1998, as she sought the Lord (part of the prophecy):

"...Leaders who yield to the fear of man's opinion rather than the fear of God. Leaders who deal treacherously and cover it with their own good works [will be exposed]. A deceitful and unfaithful heart will be revealed among God's leaders. This is the hour He is backing us into our closets to deal with our own secret sins. What we do not deal with in the closet, He will expose in public."

She exhorts: "May we as leaders in the body of Christ take to heart what God is doing in this hour. The season of cover-up is over. Now is the time to let the refiner's fire purify our motives, attitudes and personal agendas."
