Pentecost with the Holy Spirit at the center is extensively abused by the EKD churches to advance the political agenda. The Spirit of God therefore has a positive effect on the right decision in the upcoming EU parliamentary elections. Election campaign instead of gospel.

Holy Spirit at Pentecost
The Holy Spirit is naturally the focus of the Pentecost feast. 10 days after the ascension of Christ and 50 days after the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit descended on the disciples of Jesus in the form of tongues of fire. These the Holy Spirit filled with special gifts, Acts 2:4:
“And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.“
Extensive use of Holy Spirit
Just as the visible appearance of the work of the Holy Spirit is described, the Evangelical Church in Germany also appears “fire and flame”. (EKD). This institution, which still claims to be Protestant, is eager to interpret the actual “mission” and work of the Holy Spirit for its own purposes.
Vote for Europe
The current council chairwoman of the EKD, Kirsten Fehrs, obviously used the opportunity to abuse Pentecost and the Holy Spirit for her political agenda. The election of the European Parliament is coming up and it is now a matter of “giving Europe the voice” and strengthening it (Source).
As is now usual, she also used the equation between “Europe” and “European Union”, but only in passing. This “Europe” must remain capable of acting so that numerous crises can be overcome in the coming years. This can only be achieved together, “with the love of diversity,” says Fehrs. Society and democracy are in danger of being torn apart by increasing street hatred and division. What is needed here is “the power of the Holy Spirit, community spirit and cohesion”.
The EKD council chairwoman was moved by a “spirit of affection and understanding as a unifying bond of diversity,” which she wanted to be present at Pentecost. She lamented the observable opposite picture. “Compromises are becoming a distant prospect,” says Fehrs. Hatred of those who think differently and attacks “on democratic politicians”. It is obvious here that the EKD council chairwoman wanted to avoid the phrase “attacks on democratically elected politicians”.
The church celebrates its birthday with Pentecost. If there is to be a countermovement, it should be in the church, according to the EKD council chairwoman. The Spirit of God stirs us up so that, with the presence of mind, we oppose our unity to the dull slogans that want division.
EU – The best form of government
The regional bishop of Bavaria, Christian Kopp, also echoed the same sentiments. Like Fehrs, he called for people to take part in the European Parliament elections. The EU is urgently needed. It was “the best form of government that ever existed in history,” said the regional bishop. This should never be given up.
The EU was founded in Rome, in the “presence” of the papal statue. The 70th anniversary of the EU was celebrated in the same room, again under the image of the pontiff.
Disguised charismatic
Pentecost is a help to believe in miracles. The miracle that could shape our world differently, said the obviously moved Thorsten Latzel, President of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland. For him, Pentecost is “inspiration, spiritual strength, empowerment, passion, departure, energy, defiance, hope, confidence”.
Thorsten Latzel secretly seems to be an enthusiastic supporter of the charismatics. After listing the slogans of “life motivation coaches”, all that was missing was the presentation of one’s own healing arts and speaking in tongues.
A smooth reversal
The political agenda of the once Protestant churches could no longer be shown more clearly. No opportunity is missed to advance the (supposed) unification of humanity in the spirit of the Holy See in Rome. Fehrs, Kopp and Latzel abuse the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on the disciples of Jesus Christ in order to achieve justification or justification with their imaginative interpretation.
These three “representative clergy” of supposedly Protestant churches truly practice a complete reversal from good to evil and from evil to good. They place people and the world at the center by attributing upside-down characteristics and ambitions to the Holy Spirit.
Properties and work of the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit has no intention of molding humanity into a “one-size-fits-all” group that may have been brought together to rebel against God. In this case the Holy Spirit would even work against Jesus Christ. However, this can be completely ruled out. A unity of humanity in common peace was not at all the intention of Jesus Christ. The opposite is the case, as in Matthew 10:34-35:
“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.“
Divide into which parts? In the group of unbelievers or rebels against God and in the group of those who are loyal to God, those who keep the commandments and bear the testimony of Jesus. So the exact opposite of what the representatives of the large churches propagate.
Jesus Christ announced to His disciples the coming and work of the Holy Spirit when He himself ascended into heaven. As is well known, this was the case ten days after Ascension Day.
John 14:16:
“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;“
Some translations also use the correct phrases “comforter” and “advocate” instead of “assistant” (Greek: parakletos).
John 15:26:
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:“
According to the Gospel, the work of the Holy Spirit is completely apolitical.
Apostelgeschichte 1,8:
“But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:”
Acts 2:38:
“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”
The Holy Spirit is not an exclusive phenomenon of the New Testament, as the following verse in the Old Testament proves.
Ezekiel 36:27:
“And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.“
The Spirit of God is already described in the second verse of the Bible, Genesis 1:2:
“And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.”
The Holy Spirit does not come over every person, not even every Christian, as long as they only identify themselves as such without this becoming visible (“you shall recognize them by their fruits”). Acts 5:32:
“And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.“
Use Holy Spirit in hypocrisy
That actually clears it up. The stories that the representatives of the former Protestant churches tell about the work and properties of the Holy Spirit only have something in common with the Gospel in that it is in complete contrast. A misuse of the name for the sake of the political agenda. The intended bringing together of humanity for the final rebellion against Jesus Christ (illustrated in the Charter Oecumenica – Info).
The gospel that these institutions still rely on in their hypocrisy describes the Holy Spirit as the witness of Jesus Christ, the Spirit of truth. The Holy Spirit came into this world to make man aware of his own sins so that man can recognize them and then make the decision to return to God (Info). One of the most important tasks of the Holy Spirit is also described in Galatians 5:22.
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,“
Instead, Fehrs, Kopp and Latzel talk about “the spirit for correctly putting the cross on the ballot paper.” It is obvious that they have decided against the Holy Spirit and are simply abusing Him for their personal “wet dreams” of an ecclesiastical power.
The Bible predicts it
The political noise from the once Protestant churches that still claim to be Christian is no surprise. The Bible clearly predicts in its prophetic books, especially Daniel and Revelation, that at the end of time there will again be a merger between church and state. This unholy structure consists of three parts: the dragon, the beast (from the sea) and the false prophet. “Modern” Babylon is already clear fallen.
The dragon is an image of Satan, while the beast from the sea (Revelation 13) and the beast from the bottomless pit (Revelation 11 and 17) each identify the political component of the Roman Catholic Church (especially Jesuits). The false prophet is about the fallen Protestant churches and their political dominance through the world power USA (the beast from the earth – Info). What is actually still surprising is the clarity with which the statements of the representatives of the Protestant Church demonstrate their role as false prophets and thus as the mouthpiece of the Roman Church (official Protestantism has long since ended – Info).
Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
