On February 10th, one person died and three others were injured when a small business jet crashed into a parked plane as it arrived at Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. The out-of-control Leer Jet from Chromed in Hollywood, owned by Vince Niel, lead singer of Mötley Crüe. Immediately, I knew what God was saying, but I didn’t want to discuss it.
Until now, I only discussed the LA Fires and the prior plane crashes in terms of their effects upon a portion of the Body of Christ. What God is saying here will affect 99.9% of Christians. It will mostly apply to YOU. I will walk you through the components involved in this very publicized tragic accident, and by the end, you will see, that this applies to YOU.
The heavy metal band, Mötley Crüe achieved worldwide notoriety for the members often noted for their hedonistic lifestyles. I don’t think there is another band that had lyrics and behaviors that were far from righteous. After a decade, the lead singer Vince Neil was fired because his drinking was affecting his ability to perform, and he was missing rehearsals. To be fired from such a band… that shows a depth of depravity unparalleled. This is who Vince Neil is.
Vince: Conqueror, Victor
Neil: Celtic root: fury, passion
Vince Neal represents someone who is a conqueror, but out of fury which is wild and violent anger.
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, “I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.” (Isaiah 14:12-14 KJV)
Satan is passionate about despising mankind. He was the Archangel over worship in Heaven, but he wanted to be God and rule over others. Neil is the perfect representative for him.
Mötley Crüe:
Motley is a mixture, especially of incongruous elements
Crue is an alternate spelling of crew.
He is mixing people together with incongruent things: that which is not compatible. Chromed in Hollywood is a company owned by Neil.
Plane: ministry or business operating in spiritual matters
Chrome: metal coating resembling silver
Silver is the righteousness of God
Hollywood: city of fame
This company represents the business that outwardly seems righteous but really isn’t. With its owner being a former singer, it has to do with worship and it is mixing that with something that is NOT about worship or God’s ways. It promises to bring fame and fortune as it operates in spiritual matters. How can we be sure this is about God’s people? Let’s look at the addresses for Chromed in Hollywood. There is a mailing address listed as well as a physical address.
Mailing address: 1113 MUR FREES BORO RD
Mail: Something we receive
111: Psalms is the only book to have 111 chapters. That chapter is the perfect praise and worship of God. It contains nothing but worship and praise.
3: Perfections and completion in the spirit
Murfrees: Celtic for “sea warrior”
Sea: the spirit realm
Warrior: warrior
boro: “fortified place” or “town.”
What this means: Worship brings God’s mighty army, angels, to help us get free of spiritual attacks.
Principal Address: 125 South King Street
Principal: A person with the highest authority
125: 100 + 25
100: a generation
25: multiplied grace
South: away from God
King: King
Jesus is our King and the person with the highest authority. Chromed in Hollywood was registered as belonging to the King, but they have been moving further and further away from Him, though they have been sheltered under God’s grace for the past generation. Because of God’s grace, His presence has come to set people free when they worship Him, even though the motive of transportation for that worship (copyrighted music) is far from His ways.
The business of worship has become “big business!” Worshipers are now signed to contracts by companies. Their songs are under copyright. A copyright is a registration that allows a person to profit from music they have written or produced.
This plane represented worship music that has been joined with the business of fame by signing contracts and copyrighting music. Many are rich and famous from these practices. Every time a song is sung in a church, they must pay a fee to the artist or company to whom the artist is signed. This is not God’s way.
Could you imagine the Apostle Paul arriving at a church, and as everyone gathers to worship God, they say, “Wait, we must pay the writers to sing their songs.” Paul would have had a fit! How did Jesus respond to those who were charging for doves, sheep, and oxen used in the worship of God?
There He found in the temple those who were selling oxen and sheep and doves, and the money changers sitting there [also at their stands]. And having made a lash (a whip) of cords, He drove them all out of the temple —both the sheep and the oxen—spilling and scattering the brokers’ money and upsetting and tossing around their trays (their stands).
Then to those who sold the doves He said, Take these things away (out of here)! Make not My Father’s house a house of merchandise (a marketplace, a sales shop)! (John 2:14-16 ESV)
This is one of the only times we see Jesus truly angry. It was clear He didn’t want His Father’s house in any way associated with money dealings or mammon. The word “marketplace” is from the Greek word emporion. This means a trading place or market-house. Jesus is clear: that he does not want the world’s system of commerce operating in his church. He instructed His disciples in this way:
Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely (without pay) you have received, freely (without charge) give. Take no gold nor silver nor [even] copper money in your purses (belts); And do not take a provision bag or a wallet for a collection bag for your journey, nor two undergarments, nor sandals, nor a staff; for the workman deserves his support (his living, his food). (Matthew 10:8-10 AMPC)
God’s way is to freely give whatever you have received from Him, then when the recipient receives something from God, they can give back to acknowledge Him. This keeps the focus on our Father. It also allows for the sowing a reaping principle to have full effect:
Let him who receives instruction in the Word [of God] share all good things with his teacher [contributing to his support]. Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. For he who sows to his own flesh (lower nature, sensuality) will from the flesh reap decay and ruin and destruction, but he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:6-8 AMPC)
If we have sown [the seed of] spiritual good among you, [is it too] much if we reap from your material benefits? (1 Corinthians 9:11 AMPC)
The principle of sowing and reaping applies to learning and those you teach you about God. If you receive something of spiritual value, you give back to acknowledge that you have received from God, and what you have received will grow. If you don’t receive anything of spiritual value, then you don’t give. When a church, pastor, teacher, or worshiper charges for the things of God, they are saying:
I am NOT trusting that others will hear from God and give back to acknowledge Him.
I am NOT sure God will provide for my needs, so I am making sure my costs are covered.
I am NOT willing to operate in God’s ways and freely give what I have received from God.
Whether you receive wisdom from God through discipleship, a teaching, a prayer, or anointed worship, what God has freely given to His children should never “cost” money. We should never “buy” the things of God. The church has been on a downward spiral for many years because we are selling what should not be sold. It began in small ways as we became focused on recovering the money we had invested into products by charging for:
“Anointed” oil
Prayer cloths
Messages and teachings (in books, videos, or seats in meetings)
Worship music
If Christian leaders truly trusted that God had told them to make anointing oil, distribute prayer cloths, or write books, they would have followed His instructions in His Word and given them away for free. It cost Paul to send out the letters that make up the New Testament, but he did not charge for them. If God tells us to produce books or other items, we must trust that He will supply the money for that production.
We cannot sell what belongs to God. If it has His anointing upon it, it isn’t ours. Anointed worship and lyrics are also from God.
“Brothers, I may say to you with confidence about the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants on his throne… (Acts 2:29-30 ESV)
One of the definitions of a prophet is a poet because poets were believed to sing under divine inspiration. This means if we receive poetic lyrics, they are coming from Heaven, from God. ANYTHING we have received from God or we anticipate He will anoint should be freely given. If we expect God’s presence, to be there, it must be FREE.
It costs to produce music, just like books and meetings have an upfront cost. If you are sure God is calling you to create and distribute worship music, it must be done according to His ways. Our time is up. God is saying the consequences are right on the horizon. Let’s look at more details about the plane crash to verify this.
The plane was taking people from the ground into the air at the Scottsdale Airport in Arizona. The pilot died.
Scottsdale: named after an army Chaplain
Arizona: means small spring or good oak
Oaks are righteous people
Pilot: Jesus is the one who directs our life.
What God is saying:
When God’s people, including pastors, use music that is in the hands of the world (because it is being sold under copyright), they will no longer move in the Spirit. They have sold what is His, and Jesus will no longer guide them!
If you feel your connection to Jesus growing faint, if the Holy Spirit stops moving in your church, this is why! Paul warned us about those who would use God for greedy gain:
But now I write to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of [Christian] brother if he is known to be guilty of immorality or greed, or is an idolater [whose soul is devoted to any object that usurps the place of God], or is a person with a foul tongue [railing, abusing, reviling, slandering], or is a drunkard or a swindler or a robber. [No] you must not so much as eat with such a person. (1 Corinthians 5:11 AMPC)
The Greek word pleonektēs (pleh-on-ek'-tace) is translated as greed but means greed for gain. Greed is a focus on receiving. Those who are focused on what they will receive will charge in advance for what they give, even though it comes from God. It is time to come apart from the world's way of worshiping God. It is time to worship Him in spirit and in truth!
Applies to You
The plane’s left wheel malfunctioned, causing it to veer into a parked plane. Neil’s girlfriend, Rain Hannah, was injured in the plane crash. She was traveling to Arizona for a barrel racing competition and sustained many broken bones, but she survived. Neil represents Satan, so what does his girlfriend represent?
Girlfriend – someone closely and intimately, associated with the person
Rain: Holy Spirit
Hannah: receiving through prayer
Mother of Samuel the prophet; prayed for a child and her prayers were answered.
Barrel Racing: racing horses around barrels in an arena for a crowd
Horses: moving in power
Racing: swift movement
Broken Bones: Bones are the core of our strength
Left wheel:
Left is the spirit
The wheel is the power to move.
Many of us use worship music to draw close to God. Through this close, intimate time with the Lord, we receive strength and often healing. Some large anointed ministers have discovered that a crowd worshiping with anointed music brings God’s healing power in great strength.
What is God saying?
Using that which is in the hands of the enemy, worship music from God, owned by God, that is charged for will no longer bring strength and power. Instead, it will bring an attack upon your strength.
This message applies to you if you:
have purchased worship music
attend a church that plays worship music that is under a copyright
listen to copyrighted worship music on the radio
If you have done any of these, you are in agreement with those who are selling what belongs to God. You are supporting them:
purchased worship music
You have financially supported them
attend a church that plays worship music that is under a copyright
Your tithes have supported buying the music
You can hold them back for a year and let leadership know why
Your continued presence without objection tells leadership it is okay
listen to those who sell worship music online or on the radio
They get paid for the views
This applies to you, regardless of whether or not you agree that charging for worship is wrong.
Military Plane Goes Down
A military plane went down in San Deigo Bay the morning I was to address the Body of Christ about this; the plane debris was near Naval Base Coronado. Both pilots were rescued by fishermen who set off in the direction of the pilots before they hit the water. Their timely arrival helped save the pilots!
Military Jet: Those operating in power in spiritual warfare.
San Diego: Saint Diego
A peasant used to bring news and directions to a bishop
Coronado: it has two definitions
Someone who behaved in an imperious (high-handed, willful) manner.
Someone loved by their family
Fishermen: the faithful, called by God
What is God Saying?
God’s leaders who have acted high-handed by willfully disobeying God’s ways by buying and selling what belongs to Him will no longer operate with power in the Spirit. They can be saved if those who love them will bring news and directions from God.
If you have been part of the problem, now you can also be part of the solution. Drug dealers wouldn’t be a problem if no one purchased their drugs. Are you willing to take a stand? Are you willing to stop buying stolen worship music? Are you willing to step up and help leaders you know and love?
Look at the original messages about charging for that which belongs to God so that you read the scriptures to know God’s ways. Once you see this firmly in scripture, take action: Repent! Turn from what you know is wrong. Reach out to the leaders you love:
Message them, let them know they may have missed something.
Give them the scriptures about freely you have received, freely give.
Withhold tithes and offerings so you are not in agreement with them.
If they refuse to turn from the sin, consider moving on from that ministry, unless you want to be part of their sin.
It is our Lord, Jesus, who said not to turn God’s church into a marketplace. How many churches look like a marketplace? He is the one who commanded us to freely give that which we have received from God for free. How many churches are charging for anointed worship, classes, and prayer? Paul warns us about being in agreement with those not obeying what He has said:
Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. (2 John 1:8-11)
You can help rescue leaders who are going down, but you must act now! Message them, let them know they need to turn from charging for that which belongs to God! If you need more scripture or more information, please see the previous messages and the prophecy that was fulfilled concerning this warning:
