Celebration Church Pastor In Jacksonville Florida Stovall Weems Doubles Down On Claim To Have ‘Met Jesus’ Personally

As we reported to you this past Easter Sunday, Celebration Church pastor Stovall Weems claimed he had a face to face encounter with Jesus Christ. Weems says he was physically ‘transported to the heavenly realms’, much like the apostle Paul was when he received his Third Heaven visitation.

You watch the video and decide for yourself, but if we are going to accept the Bible as our guide and basis for truth, then Weems is waaaaaay off base in his ever-growing tall tale.

As we reported to you this past Easter Sunday, Celebration Church pastor Stovall Weems claimed he had a face to face encounter with Jesus Christ. Weems says he was physically ‘transported to the heavenly realms’, much like the apostle Paul was when he received his Third Heaven visitation. If true, that would put Stovall Weems in the rarefied atmosphere of saints from the Bible, and if true, his amazing account should be added to the Bible. Last night, instead of walking back those claims, Stovall Weems decided to double down.

“Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8,9 (KJB)

Celebration Church in Jacksonville, Florida, is a type of church in the fashion of Hillsong United, what they loosely refer to as a ‘rock and roll’ church. The worship music is an endless series of repetitive choruses designed to get the listener into an ecstatic state where feelings are in the forefront, and the critical thinking areas of the brain are disengaged. The music is loud, very loud, with laser lights and smoke machines to complete the effect of being in an MTV music video.

It is in this environment that the listener has now been made susceptible to whatever suggestions are coming from the “preacher”. None of what you will see at a Celebration service is in line with anything you will read about in the Bible about how a New Testament church service should be run. Nothing at Celebration is done “decently or in order” as Paul commands. It is like a nightclub with its incessant pulsating and droning music, stunning the listener into submission.

“For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:33 (KJV)

And speaking of the apostle Paul, Celebration is a church where women are given the rank of pastor even though Paul says this is not to be. In fact, Weems says that his wife is his “other Holy Spirit” as well as “co-pastor” of the church.

“Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.” 1 Corinthians 14:34 (KJV)

Celebration Church rarely, if ever, preaches or teaches on Bible doctrine. Instead, a typical service is all about…wait for it…you, and your feelings, your finances, your blessings, and the list goes on and on. Before many of the services, they will play videos where someone is giving a “testimony” about how were “amazingly blessed” after “tithing” their income to Celebration Church. Really? Wow! Let me start tithing too…(rolling my eyes).

But I digress, let’s get back to Stovall Weems doubling down on his miraculous “heavenly visit” from Jesus Christ.

After having a few days to soberly reflect on his claim of a “visit from Jesus”,  pastor Stovall Weems decided to double down. He had this to say about the encounter.

“I don’t know if I was in the body, out of the body, I know that I was in the heavenly realm with Jesus. I don’t know if, you know, Jesus came down or I went  up but I was there”.

You watch the video and decide for yourself, but if we are going to accept the Bible as our guide and basis for truth, then Weems is waaaaaay off base in his ever-growing tall tale. Peter, Paul and John, in multiple places, remind the Christian in the Church Age that we do not see Jesus now, but when the Rapture happens or we die, then we will see Him. That is what the Bible teaches.

  • “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” John 1:18 (KJV)
  • “(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)” 2 Corinthians 5:7 (KJV)
  • “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” John 1:18 (KJV)
  • “Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory: Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.” 1 Peter 1:8,9 (KJV)
  • “For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” 1 Corinthians 13:12 (KJV)

Yes, the apostle John and the apostle Paul both met Jesus after His resurrection, but guess what? They were apostles. There are no apostles today, John was the last one. And with John went the apostolic gifts, signs, miracles, wonders and everything else including the possibility of being able to meet Jesus face to face before you die.

“Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;” 2 Thessalonians 2:;3 (KJV)

Paul says there will be a great “falling away” from doctrinal truth in the last days before the Rapture of the Church, and Stovall Weems seems intent on doing his level best to make sure that comes true. But this type of Laodicean nonsense is not limited to the liberal, ‘rock and roll’ churches like Celebration, it’s happening everywhere.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO READ THROUGH OUR SERIES ON THE END TIMES DECEPTION CURRENTLY TAKING PLACE, HERE ARE THE LINKS:

The end times deception that’s taking place is very real and very dangerous. If you see this stuff happening in your church, get out and get out fast. It doesn’t matter if someone has been saved for 50 years or served as a pastor for 20 years, you are only right until you aren’t right any more. Length of time being saved or being in ministry is never a factor as to whether or not you are teaching truth or error. We hope this series will be an eye-opening blessing to you.

The Opening Ceremony Of The 2026 Winter Olympics Featured A Burning Cauldron With Everlasting Flames In The Middle Of The All-Seeing Eye In Hell

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The opening ceremony for the 2026 Winter Olympics was ripped right from the pages of end times events laid out in the book of Revelation

The world just can’t help themselves, can they? At the opening ceremony to the 2026 Winter Olympics in Italy last night, what was intended to be a beautifully designed version of the ‘Olympic Cauldron’ representing the ‘eternal flame’ for the duration of the games was actually a hellish depiction of the all-seeing eye of Horus coming out from the eternal fires of Hell. Ever see ‘Stranger Things’? They created the Olympic Cauldron as the Demogorgon come to life for our entertainment.

The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:” Revelation 14:10 (KJB)

A massive triumphal arch, a blazing, suspended centerpiece. The entire scene drenched in blood-red light with fire raining down from the heavens like a victory celebration for something ancient, pagan, and proud. Whether the designers intended “the all-seeing eye” or not, the effect is the same: a global spectacle built on awe, fear, and worshipful attention—centered on fire. The very same Hell fire now being mocked and denounced by people like Kirk Cameron. Christian, wake up!

The modern world doesn’t merely tolerate darkness—it packages it. Stylizes it. Sells it as culture. Then tells you you’re “negative” or “conspiratorial” if you notice the tone. But Bible believers aren’t called to applaud the production. We’re called to reprove it. Reprove things like the wicked NFL Super Bowl and their Sodomite Half Time Show, and yes, the Turning Point All-American Halftime show promoted openly by Laodicean preacher Franklin Graham. It is nothing but wickedness everywhere you look, and that’s exactly as your King James Bible says it will be. Fill your pockets with gospel tracts and go out into the ‘highways and hedges’ and tell them about Jesus. Time is almost gone, make the most of it for the Lord, and get ready for the Judgment Seat of Christ. Amen? TO THE FIGHT!!!

Now The End Begins is your front line defense against the rising tide of darkness in the last Days before the Rapture of the Church

NTEB PROPHECY NEWS UPDATE: Trump And His Team Continue To Ignore The Epstein Files Even As They Are Wreaking Havock In Nations Around The Globe

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

Donald Trump says that America is not interested in the Epstein Files even as their damning revelations threaten to topple not only his entire administration but others around the globe

The Epstein files dropped like a neutron bomb — millions of pages, decades of corruption, names that reach into the highest levels of politics, academia, intelligence, finance, and media — and Washington responds with…nothing. No emergency hearings. No subpoenas. No resignations. No righteous outrage from the institutions that never shut up about “protecting democracy.” Just a deafening silence. That silence tells you everything you need to know about why they want you to stop paying attention to it.

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?” 1 Peter 4:17 (KJB)

On this episode of Rightly Dividing, across Europe, governments are scrambling, investigations are opening, and officials are stepping aside. Names are becoming liabilities in places like Poland, Lithuania, Macedonia, and the UK with many others circling behind them. The exposure alone is enough to trigger panic because, at least on paper, accountability still exists. And then there’s America. President Trump says that “no one cares about the Epstein Files”, and that the “Department of Justice has better things to do”, all the while the American people are demanding accountability. Let me give you a real-world example of what I mean. When I post videos to the NTEB Instagram page, we do well with 2-4 thousand views on the vast majority of posts, regardless of subject matter, that we publish. Sometimes we will be around twice that, which I think is pretty good. OK, so a day and a half ago, I posted an AI video of Jeffrey Epstein and all the names contained in his files brought to life, and guess what the reaction was? In just the past 36 hours, it has been viewed 521,000 times, with 19,700 likes, 1,597 comments, 1,717 reposts, and 24,100 times a user sent it directly to other people on thier friends list. You know what that is? That’s a video going viral. Does that level of engagement sound to you like it’s a topic that, as Donald Trump says, the American people are ‘not interested in’? Christian, America is rushing headlong into its rendezvous with God’s judgment, and on this episode we tell you everything you need to know about the Epstein Files and the counterfeit ‘Kid Rock’ Christianity sweeping it all under the end times rug.

I already subscribed.” In that short time we spoke, I experienced from you…a total stranger…peace, joy, kindness, gentleness, compassion, and love.

I absolutely love your way of teaching the scriptures.  I don’t have a church where I can have fellowship and teaching, so you have been my teacher for many months now. Thanks God you are there for all of us who have no church to go to.  I pray that the Lord will bless you abundantly in your ministry, and your loved ones too.  You are such a blessing to me, and many others, in these last days before the rapture.  Thank you so much Geoffrey, from the bottom of my heart.

Chaplain Ron At The Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus In California, That Has Inmates As Young As 12-Years Old, Just Reached Out To Us For Bibles

Published

on

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

The Juvenile Justice Campus in Fresno, California has inmates as young as 12-years old and up to 25 who need Bibles, come help us to send them

The Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus is used primarily as a detention facility to hold minors who have committed a law violation while they are being processed through the Juvenile Court. In addition to holding minors pending court action, the Juvenile Justice Campus provides secure confinement for minors pending delivery to the California Youth Authority, other juvenile and adult justice jurisdictions, foster and group home placements, and court ordered commitments. The ages range from as young as 12, and up to 25. I cannot imagine what it would be like for a 12-year old to find themselves behind bars. One thing’s for sure, they need Bibles and we need to give them to them.

“Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.” Matthew 18:14 (KJB)

Chaplain Ron reached out earlier today and said “I am the Senior Chaplain for the Fresno County Juvenile Justice Campus. We house youth ages 12 to 25 who have committed serious crimes. We have two components at our facility, Detention and Commitment. We currently have 125 inmates. We are always in need of Bibles and are grateful for any resources available. We would also love to have as many Comic Book Bibles as you could make available. The average reading level of our population is 3rd grade. What ever you can do to help us out would be greatly appreciated.” I asked Chaplain Ron if he could use a Bible for every inmate along with the Christian comics, and he replied with a very enthusiastic “yes!” This is where you come in, please help us to meet this urgent need for God’s preserved word. We need you!

If God has prospered you, please take a moment to click on the donate button to help us in this monumental task of providing King James Bibles, New Testaments, scripture portions, gospel tracts as well as Spanish Bibles to inmates in jails and prisons from Florida to Alaska, and every state in between. We need your prayers, we need your generous financial support, and we need you to stand with us in the closing days of the Church Age. Thank you so very much, TO THE FIGHT!!!
