God's Judgement on False Idols...Dagon Falling = Sports Revelations

In January of 1994, I was in a service with Carlton Pearson, at Higher Dimensions, Tulsa OK. It was the first week after the New Year.

During that time, Bishop Pearson said the Lord had warned him of a judgment coming on America. That an important sports figure would be indited of a crime and it would stain all of professional sports. That the Lord was tearing down a high place of worship of false idols.

I had no idea of what that meant. I did know it mattered. I kept it hidden in my heart. Then in June of 1994 the murder of Ron Goldman and Nicole Simpson occurred. O J Simpson was accused. It was a time of great division. To this day there are people of strong opinions about all this. That was part of the Judgment.

Yet that time of judgment brought important reorientation regarding the hero worship that was rampant in America. It still reverberates. The O J Simpson event has modified our perspective on "Sports Heroes"

I have often wondered if this event was the one prophesied by John Hinkle so many years before in 1992. If you despise prophecy you will think this was all coincidence, And you would be the fool who says in his heart, "There is no God".

TODAY --- Our false idols have once again been established on the thrones of people's lives. The high places have been rebuilt. You can be a passive observer of sports 24-7 on 30 different Television channels. It has consumed our nation once again.

The high priests of college football are paid salary monstrosity without as much as a whimper from those who worship them. Abuse and derailment of otherwise good young men and women on the altar of college sports, not far from Molek, has been winked at by people with a vested interest.

Lives devoted to empty pursuits of sports are now becoming the norm. These open sacrifices are part of our culture. Like willing virgins of old who were indoctrinated into believing that there was an eternal reward for being thrown alive into a volcano, those who subject themselves to this abomination are innocent deceived victims. Very little different from the young suicide bomber who for a cause straps a bomb vest to himself and is willingly destroyed.

God is now judging the evil this has become in the land. The Penn State scandal has opened a door that has the fingerprints of Father all over it. Allegations and accusations are coming faster and faster. Exposure of sin and corruption. The high places must once again be torn down. The altars destroyed, not remodeled. The Dagons are being thrown to the ground.

Certainly not every coach, not every player, not every system is corrupted. That does not take away from the fact they are a high place. A place of false worship. Our treatment of the high priests of the false religion, coaches and teams has been judged and the handwriting on the wall is clear. Sin is in the camp. Christians have touched the unclean thing.

The worship of sports has replaced the Worship of the True and Living God. Many of those who bring their offering to those pagan altars are those who would insist they are devoted to the things of God in their lives.

Double-mindedness. Spiritual Schizophrenia.

As Father tears these things out of your hands, remember, his judgments are never fair, but they are always just. When you find yourself wondering if its fair to rob this school or that of it's program, remember fairness is not a Godly Principle. Justice, Mercy, Love, Compassion, Patience, Generosity and Righteousness are the hallmarks of God's hand.

"It's not fair" is a human paradigm...and it's not Godly.

God is judging the false religion in our land. Watch him move.

I was really shocked to read about Don Peters, who was the winning US Olympic gymnastic team coach in the 1980's (when I used to follow the sport). While the accusations were flying at that time about the Soviet athletes using drugs, this guy was allegedly having sexual relations with his underage pupils!!! He JUST got banned as a coach for life and kicked out of the Hall of Fame. But this is 30 years later!! God help his victims.
