During the past week, Pam Padgett, member of the body of Christ, and I have had cause to be out more where we encountered individuals. There was only one person who did not identify himself as being a Christian and he was the only person who did not trouble us. All who said they were Christian were antichrist people and they were like vermin, trying to infest their evil thinking upon us. Pam said she even felt unclean after the man came to our house June 19, to do some work.
God gave me an open vision about them: They are like vermin, coming out from under every wall, crawling and creeping from every direction, coming toward me as they call themselves Christians, while they spout their antichrist doctrines, opposite from Bible. They crawl and creep toward me from every direction like waves of infestation, trying to inch toward me, hoping to infest my life.
vermin: wild animals which are harmful and carry disease; rodents; small, common harmful and objectionable animals (such as lice, fleas, cockroaches, mice and rats) that are difficult to control.

Here is a graphic illustration of the open vision God gave me of the antichrist people who come to me saying they are Christians but they are really vermin.
Matthew 24 ... Jesus says:
Take heed that no man deceive you.
For many shall come in my name, saying,
I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
They are "wild" , uncontrolled by Bible. They spread their pollutions everywhere they go. They are vast in number and have to be beaten back and they come from every direction, from the various denominations of church groups.

In his day, the apostle Paul described them as follows:
Titus 1
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
In Paul's day they were especially of the Jews.
Today they identify themselves as Christians.
They are infested everywhere I go. They are like the whited sepulchres described by Jesus in following.
Matthew 23
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.

Woe to us if we take them in and let them breed in our company, spreading their words to us and planting their words into our hearts, they will infest us and all who come in contact with them.

God discusses this in the following scripture.
Numbers 33:55-56
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.
29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Numbers 33:55-56
But if ye will not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you; then it shall come to pass, that those which ye let remain of them shall be pricks in your eyes, and thorns in your sides, and shall vex you in the land wherein ye dwell.
56 Moreover it shall come to pass, that I shall do unto you, as I thought to do unto them.

The apostle John said there were already "many antichrist" in their church group of his day.
I John 2
18 Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.
Paul said even in the elders of Ephesis there were some who would "speak perverse things" to draw away disciples after themselves.
Acts 20 (Paul speaking to the elders of the church at Ephesus)
30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
Even through the elders at the church at Ephesus antichrist would rise up to draw away disciples with perverse doctrines, setting up denominations.
The "falling away" of churches from doctrines of Christ started as far back as this, when Paul departed from this earth.
Remember how Jesus told His disciples "many" would come saying they are Christians in the last days and they would deceive many. Matthew 24:4-5
This week, I told one of them this: "You should never identify yourself as a Christian speaking the evil things that you spoke to us."
Jesus warned us: they will come in the last days ...
Matthew 24:4-5 Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
(They come saying they are Christians and they deceive many.)
If we let them talk a bit, and we really listen, they usually identify themselves very quickly by their words.
When we speak The Word, often they will be driven away from us by The Word. Or we may have to flee from them and avoid them, deliberately staying away from the place where such congregate.
Make no mistake. We cannot stay around them without being corrupted.
I Corinthians 15
33 Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
34 Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.
