As we await God's justice against His enemies and the fulfillment of His judgment upon America—a message that speaks both to the Church and the U.S. government—we continue to witness the ongoing persecution of Karen Rajabian. This persecution comes from both institutions, operating under the authoritarian leadership of the Trump administration.

On June 1, 2025, Times Square Church broadcast its Sunday service live from Broadway, New York, with the sermon streamed on their YouTube channel as part of their regular programming. During the broadcast, Karen once again faced the continuing threats posed by modern-day Pharisees—religious actors who, like their biblical counterparts, distort God’s truth for personal gain and recognition.

Pharisee Tim Dilena delivered a sermon titled "A Clear Voice Needs a Clean Heart" as part of the One Billion Starts With One series. Though the sermon was intended to focus on the importance of preaching God’s Word for the salvation of souls, Dilena frequently drifted from this central message. As has happened in the past, the sermon lacked the full depth and clarity required to deliver the truth effectively.

What is truly required for effective preaching is the faithful proclamation of God’s Word in holiness and truth. It is ultimately God—not the preacher—who adds souls to His Church (Acts 2:47).

The Pharisees—then and now—do not possess holy hearts. Those with unclean hearts, whether religious leaders or false Christians who claim to follow Christ without genuine faith, may preach the Word of God, but they do so with impure motives. Nowhere in Scripture does it say that people are saved through distorted, self-serving messages. However, Philippians 1:15–18 reveals an important nuance:

“Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from goodwill. The latter do it out of love... The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely... What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice.”

Here, Paul acknowledges that some preach Christ with wrong motives—envy, rivalry, selfish ambition. Yet he still rejoices because Christ is being proclaimed. However, Paul does not explicitly say that such preaching leads to salvation. His joy is in the name of Christ being made known, not in the results of those corrupted messages.

This passage shows that God, in His sovereignty, allows those with insincere hearts to preach—for a time. But He is the one who ultimately decides when that time is up. Much like the Pharisees, it is possible for false Christians to preach the Word of God, yet remain lost themselves, their hearts are not aligned with God.

The Pharisees can preach, pray, fast, worship, dance, mimicking the life of faithful believers like Karen—all in pretense. They do so to be seen by others and to receive praise from people. But their efforts have no spiritual impact. Their imitation, no matter how public or passionate, bears no fruit.

This truth underscores a vital point: Only God can add souls to His Church. The effectiveness of any sermon comes not from the outward righteousness or reputation of the preacher, but from the faithful preaching of God’s truth and the work of the Holy Spirit. Only when the Word of God falls on good soil, prepared by the Spirit, does it produce lasting fruit.

THE LORD IS MY BANNER

…Abraham, I am your shield… (Genesis 15:1). When the enemy comes like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him (Isaiah 59:19).

The Lord is a man of war; the Lord is His name (Exodus 15:3). For the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you (Deuteronomy 20:4).

No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord (Isaiah 54:17).

The wicked fall into their own nets (Psalms 141:10). For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, like birds caught in a snare, so the sons of men are snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them (Ecclesiastes 9:12).

The fear of the wicked will come upon him, and the desire of the righteous will be granted (Proverbs 10:24).

 

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not be weary (Isaiah 40:31).

 

The persecution, harassment, and abuse directed at Karen Rajabian continue unabated under the Trump administration, reflecting an ongoing pattern of authoritarian rule. This administration has systematically targeted her through invasive surveillance tactics, including the use of advanced technologies such as spy satellites, and has allegedly coordinated efforts with both mainstream and independent media outlets.

Karen’s personal and business communications—ranging from phone calls to emails and internet activity—are regularly intercepted. Her website has been the target of persistent cyberattacks, including hacking, hijacking, and the obstruction of updates, severely hampering the maintenance of this blog and the continuation of this important series.

Despite these relentless efforts by a deceptive administration—one that claims Christian values while persecuting the true Church of Jesus Christ and defying God's will—Commander-in-Chief-elect Rajabian remains steadfast. She is determined to prevail in the fight for the presidency and reclaim what is, in symbolic terms, the modern-day land of Canaan (Genesis 14:1–24).

For the past 18 years, the U.S. government has persistently targeted Preacher Rajabian. In light of what the Lord has revealed regarding His judgment on both political parties and His Church, one must ask: what is truly driving this sustained campaign against her? Through successive administrations, including the Trump era, Karen’s personal life and home have been exploited to serve political agendas—yet she endures, guided by divine purpose and unwavering faith.

Spanish speaking sermon translated into English

Today, the Church of God Ministry of Jesus Christ International chose not to deliver the final sermon in its series on James chapter 5—a passage that strongly rebukes the wealthy and complacent, warning that their hoarded riches and injustices will testify against them when God brings judgment. Instead, the church streamed a previously recorded Sunday service on YouTube. This sermon, based on 1 Peter 1:1–25, was originally delivered by Maria Luisa Piraquive at the church’s headquarters on October 30, 2022. It is part of an ongoing series revisiting earlier teachings from the Book of 1 Peter, covering chapters 1 through 5.

The church has shown inconsistency in its approach to live-streaming sermons, with two recurring patterns emerging. First, when Maria Luisa Piraquive does preach live, her messages are often accompanied by justifications and distractions that divert attention from the spiritual focus and the work of God. Second, there seems to be a persistent hesitation to preach altogether—suggesting a deliberate avoidance that appears intended to hinder the recognition of the ministry God is raising within the church.

Through these ongoing choices, Maria Luisa Piraquive has demonstrated a troubling disregard for the Word of God, the message He intends to deliver, and the divine purpose He is fulfilling through His church.

Despite these obstacles, Karen remains unwavering in her faith, continuing to place her full trust in the Lord.

It is important to remember that the true measure of a believer is not only in what they say or preach about Christ, but in how they respond to those who carry God's message. Authentic believers will demonstrate love, compassion, and unwavering support for those laboring in God's service. They will stand united with God's messengers, even during times of divine silence.

Had Rajabian been in Piraquive's position, she would have embraced the unity of the church with humility, tested the prophecy, welcomed Jesus and His servant, honored the ministry entrusted to her, and invited Piraquive to join the congregation, trusting in the Lord's timing for the fulfillment of glory in her life. As the scriptures remind us, "We all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another" (2 Corinthians 3:18).

Instead, Piraquive’s actions demonstrate that she is living a life of luxury and wealth, seemingly at odds with the very message she did not streamed. In light of 1 Peter 1:1-25, which calls for repentance and a sincere transformation of heart, her lifestyle appears to disregard God’s urgent call. Despite her sermons on humility, faith, and personal change, her choices contradict these principles, revealing a disconnect between her words and deeds. By failing to embody the spiritual path she advocates, Piraquive not only undermines her own message but also misses the opportunity to foster true unity and spiritual growth among her followers. This inconsistency suggests a lack of genuine spiritual maturity and a reluctance to fully embrace the transformative power of God’s word in her own life.

In spite of her credentials  as a preacher, Maria Luisa Piraquive remains detached from genuine faith. The essence of faith is not simply preaching, but being like Jesus through compassion, humility,  love   for  God ,  trust  in Him, loving others, and openness to His will especially when it comes to empowering others in the body of Christ. 

The seeds of God’s word she received from preacher Rajabian have fallen on the thorny ground of her heart, which is hardened and chokes out the word, rendering it ineffective. Despite God’s protection of His church and its assets from adversity, Piraquive seems preoccupied with worldly concerns, guarding the material wealth of the church rather than focusing on heavenly matters, particularly the imminent revelation of God to the world. This revelation will be glorious, bringing healing, restoring the deaf to hearing, the blind to sight, the mute to speech, and the lame to walk.  

Instead of advancing the work of the Lord, Maria Luisa Piraquive stands as an obstacle, hindering His way. Her lack of spiritual action and failure to work in the unity of the church with preacher Rajabian contradicts her own message that “we are saved by grace through faith” (Ephesians 2:8), and "without faith it is impossible to please God" (Hebrews 11:6). Money is what causes people to err from faith. Paul told Timothy that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil, and that desiring wealth leads to temptation, to a snare, and to other lusts, which in turn lead to destruction (1 Timothy 6:10).  

Today, we remember the words of Jesus, saying that “we will know them by their fruits” (Matthew 7:16).

The fruits of the Spirit are these: But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. And those who are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another (Galatians 5:22-26).

In contrast, preacher Rajabian remains steadfast in her mission, "Preparing the Way of the Lord," and as part of her calling, Karen is exposing the evil within the church—uncovering lies, hidden truths, and sinful actions that block the way of the Lord before His revelation to Israel and the world.
