Congregation Shocked As Jacksonville Florida Megachurch Pastor Claims Face To Face Visit With Jesus Christ
Today Pastor Stovall Weems of Celebration Church in Jacksonville, FL, claimed to have seen Jesus face to face, and heard His voice audibly with his ears. Something that is an absolute impossibility in the Church Age according to the Bible.
My mind had trouble processing what I was hearing, but yet, here it was in all it’s Laodicean glory. The pastor of a huge megachurch was in front of his congregation, telling them that he had seen the risen Lord Jesus Christ face to face on “good Friday” evening.
Celebration church in Jacksonville, Florida, has about 12,000 people in weekly attendance for their services. They are an excellent example of the Laodicean church that Jesus said would be in evidence in the last days before the rapture. Rich, increased with goods, and preaching ear tickling sermons for their mostly Bible illiterate congregation.
“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)
But today the pastor, Stovall Weems, kicked it up a notch or two. Or three. How did he do that? He claimed to have met Jesus face to face.
Today Pastor Stovall Weems claimed to have seen Jesus face to face, and heard His voice audibly with his ears. Something that is an absolute impossibility in the Church Age according to the Bible.
As fate would have it, I just happened to be sitting in the congregation of Celebration Church this Easter Sunday morning, at the 11:30 AM service. There were thousands of people in attendance, so many people that they delayed starting the service until around 12:15 PM to allow all the people to come in. I started filming the video you see below from the moment the pastor said the following words.
“I have a message to preach to you about the resurrection, and it was an awesome message”, the pastor said. Then he dropped the other shoe. “But…uh, instead of preaching about the resurrection, I want to tell you about my meeting with the resurrection”.
From there it was off the end time Laodicean races as Pastor Weems regaled his congregation with the very tall tale of his personal meeting with Jesus
As I sat there this morning, filming the pastor’s message, conflicting thoughts went through my head. First I wondered if he was intentionally deceiving his audience, claiming to have met Jesus personally when the Bible declares that such a thing is not possible in the Church Age.
“(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)
How about the testimony of the apostle Paul saying that Christians do NOT see God face to face now. Is THAT good enough for you? “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 Paul saw the risen Lord Jesus face to face after His resurrection, and the sight was so intense it burned his eyes and he went blind. But that aside, Paul was handpicked by Jesus to lead the New Testament church, and that meeting is recorded in the pages of the Bible. If Stovall Weems truly met Jesus Christ face to face, then that should be in the Bible as well.
“But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee; Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee, To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.” Acts 26:16-19 (KJV)
Pastor Weems continued. “I want to talk to you about the experience I had Friday night, where I met and I saw our risen Saviour.” “Now listen, I understand the consequences that come with making a statement like that. Okay?”
My mind had trouble processing what I was hearing, but yet, here it was in all it’s Laodicean glory. The pastor of a huge megachurch was in front of his congregation, telling them that he had seen the risen Lord Jesus Christ face to face on “good Friday” evening. And the people, though hesitant at first, began lapping it up. Tears came to my eyes as the end times spectacle continued.
“For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.” 2 Timothy 4:3,4 (KJV)
“Nothing like this has ever happened to me. I think the longevity and the integrity of our ministry speaks for itself. When this happened Friday night I was really a wreck. I was sobbing, I couldn’t sleep, this went on into Saturday.” “I realized today that there was no way I could preach a message about the resurrection when I was with the resurrection Friday night.”
“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 4:3 (KJV)
The great falling away, the apostasy of the professing Christian church is operating at full speed as we head towards the 70th anniversary of regathered Israel in May. Pastor Weems’ “meeting” with Jesus Christ is proof positive of that. I only hope and pray that there will be at least some Bible believers within his congregation who will openly rebuke his false statement.
But sadly, I don’t think that will happen.
Pastor Stovall, if you are reading this, you did not meet Jesus face to face. According to Bible doctrine for the Church Age, this is not possible. Hopefully, you will come to your senses and recant the false teaching of your current position. Because if you don’t, then you will have to be ready to accept the “cult status” label that will be rightfully placed on your church. The next step for someone who claims a personal meeting with Jesus, is being “anointed by Jesus” to be the next Jim Jones or David Koresh.
So tell me, Stovall, do you not believe the Bible…or do you not know the Bible? It’s one or the other. Peter says you didn’t see Jesus, either. Is that why you won’t use the King James Bible or teach Bible doctrine in your church, to keep the people ignorant of scripture and jacked up on feelings and emotions?
“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)
Jesus Christ tells us in Revelation 3 that the last state of the Christian church is apostasy, and that’s exactly what we are seeing right now. And it’s exactly what I saw this morning.
“And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.” Revelation 3:14-19 (KJV)
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 Cultural Affairs Committee In New York City Have Called For The Immediate Removal Of Statues Of George Washington For Reparations Task Force
Money should be found to remove statues of America’s founding fathers like George Washington in New York City as a ‘Reparations Task Force’ committee is created
America is being hollowed out, eaten away on the inside by forces conspiring against her just as we first told you when Now The End Begins first started back in 2009. We wrote that “for generations the Bible has warned of the coming End of Days, and you are now living in that time. America, a nation raised up by the Hand of God to spread the gospel and to be a beacon of Freedom for people around the world is about to be forever silenced by those sworn to protect her – her leaders.” What we told you was coming then is now almost complete here in 2023.
“When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.” Proverbs 29:2 (KJB)
Our Founding Fathers were far from perfect men, they all had their faults and flaws. But God used them to create a nation around the King James Bible that is nearly as unique on Earth as the nation of Israel is. No other nation in modern times has been as lauded and as celebrated as America, and rightly so. George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and all the others we remember to this day for the amazing work that they started which is still in effect 247 years later. But this is what the enemies of America hate, they hate our Declaration of Independence, our Constitution and the men who put pen to ink to birth it all.
For 14 years now, we’ve been warning you that America is being removed brick by brick, and right now we are about out of bricks.
New York City threatens statues of Washington, Columbus and Jefferson over slavery links and mulls reparations task force
FROM THE DAILY MAIL UK: The city’s Cultural Affairs Committee has demanded the eviction of George Washington and Christopher Columbus and others from public spaces because of links to slavery, along with the establishment of a reparations task force. The plans before the city council on Tuesday come after Mayor Eric Adams warned that New Yorkers face a ‘financial tsunami’ from the cost of providing for more than 10,000 new migrants a month.
But they have prompted fury as the city scratches around for resources with libraries, meals for senior citizens and childcare all now at risk. ‘This is little more than an attempt by the radical left to rewrite our nation’s history,’ said City Councilor Joann Ariola.
‘The Founding Fathers and the others who worked so hard to establish this great country should be celebrated, not eliminated from memory.’
The Committee plans to remove any public statue or work of art that ‘depicts a person who owned enslaved persons or directly benefited economically from slavery, or who participated in systemic crimes against indigenous peoples or other crimes against humanity’. Dozens of prominent statues across the city are at risk including those depicting Thomas Jefferson and former governor Peter Stuyvesant.
Anti-racism training would be introduced for contractors and city employees, and a task force would ‘consider the impact of slavery and past injustices for African Americans in New York City and reparations for such injustices’.
‘Explanatory plaques’ would be installed next to any statue not removed and on schools named after them.
Meanwhile an injunction was filed overnight against the Mayor’s plans to set up a shelter for migrants at the historic Floyd Bennett Field in Brooklyn. More than 110,000 asylum seekers have arrived in the city since the Spring of 2022 with New Yorkers paying an average of $385 a night per migrant family.
Mayor Adams has pleaded for federal help in footing the bill and lashed out at Greg Abbott as a ‘madman’ after the Texas governor bussed thousands from his state. READ MORE

Social Media Reveals The Demonic Spirit Of Violence Openly At Work As The World Continues To Prepare Itself To Meet The Coming Antichrist
The New Hampshire father of two who died after an incident at Gillette Stadium during the New England Patriots game Sunday had been punched in the face and knocked unconscious by a Miami Dolphins fan, as the spirit of Antichrist rises
A few weeks ago, we wrapped up our 5-part series on the Mark of the Beast, and in the 5th installment we showed you how the spirit of Antichrist is already alive and working in these closing moments of the Church Age. What does it look like? It looks exactly like a violent fight at a football game that results in the beating death of a man while his wife helplessly looks on. This happened during the Sunday night football game at Patriots stadium.
“And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:” 2 Thessalonians 2:8 (KJB)
Spend 5 minutes on social media, and you will see video after video taken in cities all across America showing violent attacks and beatdowns at fast food restaurants, movie theaters, shopping centers and school hallways. Life was not like this when I was younger, it was not like this 10 years ago. But ever since the events which began in 2020 started, there is an obvious and undeniable spirit of evil that is ever rising and persistent.
Patriots fan dies after getting punched ‘in the face’ by Dolphins supporter at Gillette Stadium: witness
FROM THE NY POST: Dale Mooney, 53, was treated at the scene by EMTs and rushed to a hospital after what had been described as an “apparent medical event,” but was pronounced dead shortly before midnight. A spectator has now claimed that he witnessed a physical altercation between Mooney and a Dolphins fan.

“The Dolphins fan walks over and clearly punches him in the face,” Joey Kilmartin, of Nashua, New Hampshire, told MassLive. “(He) gets knocked out and you can tell right away he’s not OK.”
Kilmartin told the news outlet that Mooney also had gotten into a physical confrontation with other fans toward the end of the fourth quarter. He said Mooney never regained consciousness after being punched and that the EMTs performed CPR on him before rushing him to Sturdy Memorial Hospital in Attleboro.
Mooney’s wife, Lisa, said she feels “numb” and is seeking answers about the tragedy.
“I want to know what happened. What caused this?” she told WCVB. “I just don’t understand why people have to go to that extreme. Why can’t it just be fun? That’s all it’s supposed to be — a fun family event.” READ MORE

The Sustainable Development Goals Summit At The United Nations Today Discussing Mandatory Vaccinations, Digital ID And Sustainable Cities
In 2015, more than 190 world leaders committed to 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to help us all end extreme poverty, fight inequality & injustice, and fix climate change. Bible believers call this the New World Order.
If have haven’t listened to our Podcast today where we told you about a 2003 book called ‘The 2030 Spike’ and why it’s in the library at the CIA, you really should go and listen to it. To say it’s a ‘eye-opener’ would be a severe understatement. One of the things we told you about is the meeting taking place today and tomorrow at the UN called the SDG Summit, which we warned you about back in July. The ‘sustainable development goals’ of the United Nations sound like a good thing, but upon closer inspection, they herald the New World Order.
“Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, and wonder marvellously: for I will work a work in your days, which ye will not believe, though it be told you.” Habakkuk 1:5 (KJB)
Among the many SDG’s the UN is fomenting upon us, we have gender equality, global vaccinations, and of course, digital ID not just for you but for the entire family. Top of the list is the ‘sustainable cities’ mandate which is already underway in a pilot program in 14 American cities right now. It’s all about restricting our movement, confining us in 15-minute cities which is all part of the coming kingdom of Antichrist. The Sustainable Development Goals were developed in 2015, with a target date of 2030 for completion. Things are nearly in place.
The SDG Summit is happening now at the United Nations in New York City
FROM THE UNITED NATIONS: The United Nations will convene the SDG Summit on 18-19 September 2023 at its Headquarters in New York, during the General Assembly high-level week. With the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development at midpoint, world leaders will carry out a comprehensive review of the state of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), respond to the impact of multiple and interlocking crises facing the world, and provide high-level political guidance on transformative and accelerated actions towards the target year of 2030.

But the Agenda is a promise, not a guarantee. At the halftime mark, the promise is in deep peril. For the first time in decades, development progress is reversing under the combined impacts of climate disasters, conflict, economic downturn and lingering COVID-19 effects. The SDG Summit serves as a rallying cry to recharge momentum, for world leaders to come together, to reflect on where we stand and resolve to do more. It is a moment to recommit to a vision of the future that ensures no one is left behind. Fundamental shifts in commitment, solidarity, financing and action must put us back on track to end poverty, realize just societies and reset a balanced relationship with the natural world. READ MORE
