When I was studying book of Jeremiah, I realized how prophet Jeremiah was running in and around Jerusalem busily to warn elders, princes, the king, scribes, and etc for impending invasion of Babylonians to conquer Judah once for all. They did not heed to his doom prophecy against them (Judah) and it was fulfilled as GOD intended to.
Then I made the following two short messages to evangelical churches throughout the world and to America. America and England are two Christian nations on earth and therefore they are the salt and the light of the world (Mat 5:13, 14). Are not the two lights of the world going dim? Both countries need a big awakening and revival to return their heart to GOD Almighty.
America is being deteriorated spiritually ever since it removed school prayer from public school in 60's. Churches in America are going down gradually and becoming secularized more and more. Our Father in heaven is very patient but HE would not wait for turn around indefinitely as HE gave Israelites up to Babylonians once for all after sending prophets to warn them over and over again for extended period of time. Prophet Jeremiah in the book of Jeremiah in the Old Testament was the last prophet sent to them for their repentance. When would churches in America and throughout the world correct their unholy worship services which offend HIM significantly?
Joh 17:11 ¶ And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.
Joh 17:20 ¶ Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word;
Joh 17:21 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me.
Joh 17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:
Joh 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Messages to the evangelical church
From: Ezekiel Servant Thompson
Lancaster, California
To: evangelical churches in USA
September 17, 2020
Listen ye evangelical church leaders and laymen in USA. Review how you worship the LORD and turn from your incorrect worship style and method. I have seven things what I consider nonsense against you.
1. Stop rock and roll type or secular music with guitar and drum in the beginning of your worship service. Come back to old hymns in the hymnal with piano or organ as it was used to be before. Lev 26:2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.
There seems to be more and more churches singing so called contemporary gospel songs with secular music instruments and words displayed on the big screen. Old and traditional hymnals filled with spiritual songs written and composed by spiritually filled ancient people were used to be common in the Protestant churches here in America and other parts of the world some time ago but now they were replaced by these repetitive ,low quality songs with childish words. Not all gospel music are created equally well just like not all different Bible translations have acceptable standards.
2. Stop using corrupt modern and easy reading translation Bible but turn to KJV or KJV-1611. Pronounce the word 'amen' correctly. Do not say 'a-men' but say 'ahmen.'
It is very important to use the right Bible version like KJV or KJV-1611 for believers to know GOD'S will or messages correctly. Hence this ministry is called UISC Church Ministry. It can be compared with the right and good quality tool for an auto mechanic so that he can repair cars quickly and efficiently.
3. Stop selling your ministry resources or soliciting offerings over the radio and internet website.
James Hudson Taylor, a British missionary back in 1800’s, deplored other ministries because they were soliciting donation or contribution from audience to support them financially. He called them 'begging ministry' rightly so. If one listen, watch religious broadcasts, or goes to the website these days, he will notice that every single one of them either selling their resources or asking for financial support. It became more subtle lately by saying, "any amount to support this ministry, then we will send immediately...." You know what they meant by 'any amount.'
4. Stop wearing casual clothes but wear best and formal clothes to show your respect toward our almighty and holy Father in heaven during your formal worship service in the sanctuary on Sunday.
It is hard to find congregation wearing formal clothes during worship services at the church, yet they might wear them when they attend wedding or any other non-religious gathering. Would GOD be pleased with it? Certainly not. Check out how Mosaic law prescribes formality and solemnity during various sacrifices and feasts, not to mention during the day of atonement ritual in Leviticus chapter 16.
5. Keep two ordinances, baptism as needed and Lord's Supper regularly.
How many Protestant or so called evangelical churches observe two essential sacraments, Communion and baptism, regularly these days? Or put into another way, when was the last time they did them? They are essential and commanded by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ (Luk 22:19; 1Cor 11:24; Mat 28:18-20).
6. Do not just preach topical, superficial, perfunctory sermon out of few verses all the time but do some expository sermon for an entire selected book out of 66 books in the Bible seriously like in-depth, analytical, and spiritual verse by verse.
When was the last time any believer in any evangelical church worship service heard verse by verse expository preaching? It is not wrong to estimate that topical preaching is out there 99% of the time. One broadcast claimed it on the radio but it was not actually.
7. Bring back Sunday and Wednesday evening services.
Does any believer miss Sunday and Wednesday evening services? It is more difficult to find the former than the latter. Most evangelical churches were used to have them many years ago but they are becoming extinct. Instead they have multiple Sunday morning services. We are too tired of coming back to church on Sunday evening or coming to Wednesday evening service after hard work because we have to go to work early the next morning. Sounds familiar?
The church and its congregation, born again Christians, are the light of the world and salt of the earth (Mat 5:13, 14). We must spread the good news and show good example to the world.
Do evangelical churches feed the poor and care for their different needs in their communities at all? Is it not their duty to do so (Mat 5:1-12)? If they can not feed 5,000, they can feed 5 in one way or another for sure. The church is responsible to care for the poor people whether in spirit or in material.
Why are evangelical churches mouth shut and never condemn abominable acts in our society? Remember the saying, silence gives consent? GOD is watching us and HE is definitely very disappointed that we are overlooking them as if they are not that much seriously ill. The church should speak up and let people know that they are violating GOD'S commandments whenever people in a society go astray and commit abominable sins.
Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this woman hath done, be told for a memorial of her.
Matt 26:13 (KJV)
I never heard any preacher mentioning and memorializing the woman mentioned above during a so called revival or crusade meetings as Jesus had commanded.
Repent USA
From: Ezekiel Servant Thompson
Lancaster, California
To: USA people
September 15, 2020
Repent USA and turn from your abomination and sins, and come back to almighty GOD and our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
1. Stop killing unborn babies.
Abortion must be stopped completely without EXCEPTION like rape, the life of mother is in danger, and other excuses simply because babies are reward of GOD (Psa 127:3) who wanted men to multiply and fill up the earth (Gen 1:28).
The problem is not abortion in and of itself but rather it is about promiscuity. Contraception is sin and against GOD’S commandment (Gen 1:28). HE will feed us; HE will not allow us to go hungry no matter how many children we raise. HE wants to be glorified by HIS creation. The more people, beasts, fowls, fishes, and etc flourish on earth, the more HE is glorified. Can HE be glorified when earth is empty?
Mt 6:25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
Mt 6:26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
2. Amend your abominable life style such as gay, lesbian, or any other perversion.
Gay and lesbian life style are clearly prohibited in the Bible (Rom 1:24-27; Lev 18:22-24). No if's, but's whatsoever. No excuses or justification whatsoever.
3. Stop oppressing your poor neighbors, lying and cheating.
4. But help fatherless, widows, and destitute.
5. Love your neighbors as yourself.
As living conditions are getting worse and worse the love of people one another shall wax weak and scarce, and that is a natural process, yet we born again believers can beat the odds with prayer, supplications, and patience.
6. Stop any form of idolatry. If you love pleasure more than GOD, then that is your idolatry.
7. Obey the commandments of GOD and Jesus Christ, and attend the worship service every Sunday.
America was and shall be the Christian nation forever. We should bring back school prayer. We should turn to GOD and pray daily for HIS mercy and forgiveness of our transgressions.
If we seek HIM and humble ourselves from President down to average people, we can be a strong nation again, very prosperous, and defend this country from all our enemies.
Bible tells us to not spare anyone who committed murder. If a murderer receives death penalty through due process at the court, he must be executed without delay. GOD does not allow the blood of him still present in our society because GOD is holy and present with us on earth and we are Christian nation, holy people to HIS eyes just like Israelites were to HIM during Bible time.
So America, let us repent and turn to almighty GOD, Jehovah, who created heaven and earth according to Genesis 1:1. HE is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent. HE is very merciful and will forgive our transgressions, and bless us abundantly, if we obey HIS commandments. Otherwise, we will keep having violence, plague, famine, pestilence, and sword down the road.
Repent, repent, repent! Turn to HIM. Seek HIM always. Humble yourself because HE hates men's pride.
Bringing school prayer back to public school immediately should be everybody's mind right now including politicians in Washington D.C.. This country must return to Almighty GOD. It was very fatal and tragic incidence to remove it in early 1960's since history tells us very vividly how this country was going down rapidly afterwards. Certainly we can reverse the trend by having great revival, spiritual awakening campaign led by evangelical people.
We don't have an evangelical church leader currently as I lamented before to lead this country back to HIM, and tell the world that America and England were the two Christian nations--maybe a few others if any--on earth. And America repented of her sins and is returning to HIM to be a stronger Christian nation on earth than ever before. First of all we need a strong evangelical church leader to save this country. Is anybody listening out there?
Let us consider the book of Ezekiel in the Old Testament, Eze 12:17-28. People of Judah who were very rebellious and stiffnecked did not heed to the words of prophets sent by GOD to exhort them for repentance and to warn them impending invasion of Babylonians to conquer Judah. They were quite unrealistic by saying, "The days are prolonged, and every vision (warning) faileth" (Eze 12:22).
Let us look at Eze 12:22, 23 carefully,
Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are prolonged, and every vision faileth? (Eze 12:22).
Tell them therefore, Thus saith the Lord GOD; I will make this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but say unto them, The days are at hand, and the effect of every vision. (Eze 12:23).
Now can anybody whether born again or not relate these two verses for sinful Judah in the OT to the current state of not only USA but also whole world? This earth is filled with sin and rebellion against almighty GOD in heaven; therefore, we need worldwide repentance toward HIM followed by worldwide revival.
Now speaking again for USA, Britain and USA are two Christian nations on earth--maybe there are others. These two countries were blessed by GOD because of their piety in the past but they are backslidden now significantly. I can not speak for Britain much since I am living in USA. America needs to repent and turn to GOD right now. Where are the evangelical church leaders in this country? Are they sleeping or busy for something else?
Total repentance and turning to HIM is the only way to get out of mess we are currently in such as national debt, gun violence, homeless people, murdering unborn babies, Sodom and Gomorrah, and etc, not to mention climate change hoax, nonsense, or propaganda (Gen 8:22; Isa 24:1; Neh 9:6; Ecc 1:4; Psa 104:30). Read Psa 104; Job 37 and 38. Political fight or debate by men's wisdom can not change or reverse the direction we are heading to.
There was some degree of revival from maybe early 1800's or even before then to 1960's in USA (and Britain maybe) but USA started going down the hill after it removed school prayer in 1962. Now it is time to wake up USA. Bring back school prayer, amend constitution on separation of church and state; we need HIM ever before. Declare the world that USA is Christian, evangelical nation on earth.
Oh our Father in heaven, do not forsake America. We need thee more than ever before. Consider me and other sincere born again believers in this country. Thou hast said that thou would not destroy Sodom and Gomorrah if there were found as few as ten righteous people. We thank and glorify thee for thy mercy and patience so far that thou hast kept this country keep going despite our rebellion and pride but we know that thy patience will run out soon or later. Oh Father give us direction and a good evangelical leader to save America. I pray in the name of our saviour and Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
