The IC is A Haunted House Because of Her Curses and Her Plagues

preacherWe all have been lulled into a semi or fully delusional state where we are drugged into believing something we know deep down inside ‘just isn’t right.’ We just went to church and went along with the programs to get along. We didn’t want to rock the boat, so to speak, out of fear that we would be labeled ‘rebellious,’ ‘unfaithful,’ ‘unteachable,’ or a host of other names leadership likes to place on thinking people who were blessed with common sense AND wisdom to know game when they see it.

When I was a faithful pastor in the IC, I had several memorable dreams that showed me the spiritual condition of the entire IC but I misinterpreted them. I thought the dreams were pertaining to the actual church I saw, when a particular church was only intended to be representative. A symbol OF THEM ALL.

in these dreams, the pulpit and altar area were defiled with menstrual blood, feces and urine. I would also dream about toilets overflowing in the sanctuary. I did not understand those dreams until after I left the IC.

I now know that the defilement represented the plagues. For in the natural, plagues have broken out because of infectious, unclean conditions like rats and such. The unclean natural condition of a house will cause it to be condemned, boarded up. A haunted house is filled with the demons that once inhabited the dead who lived in that house. When the inhabits died, the demons came out and did not have anywhere else to go and reside unless new people rented or bought the house.

I call the IC a haunted house because it is filled with evil spirits who have taken Her  over, because of the plagues. These are the seducing spirits that the Apostle Paul warned Timothy about.  They are fallen angels that specialize in teaching religion.  Jesus called the religious folk of his day, white washed tombs on the outside, contaminated with dead men’s bones on the inside. This is the institutional church today. It is a huge whitewashed tomb. A haunted house.

Don’t let the white washed physicality, Her stained glass beauty fool you. The spirit realm is invisible to our eyes but it still exists. In the spirit realm, every pulpit is covered in unclean blood, urine and feces, no matter how sincere the pastor or how helpful and kind are Her members.

In the last few years, I have not focused on warning people to “come out of Her.”  It could be that since I have not been actively IN Her since 2004, for me its kind of “out of sight, out of mind.” However, I had some dreams this morning that brought my task back into focus.

In the first dream, I received the result of two curses that I wont go into here.  I will simply say that one involved the destruction of property and the other dealt with both a ministerial and a health issue combined in a curse. In the next dream, I found myself in a church.  As I am dreaming, I think “I am not supposed to be in here.”  Anyway, the grand, important purpose I had before I came to this church left my memory and I was given the assignment to do the congregational prayer.

I started to pray but there was a group of women working on a project who were laughing and talking loud, distracting me from my prayer. So I stop praying and I ask them to choose between their project and my prayer.  They were nasty and rude and with venom, chose  their project.  As I was leaving, they stood in the doorway of the church. As they  reminded me of the curses of the previous dream, they boastfully took ownership and responsibility for those curses.  They sneered and jeered at me  and I woke up.

I was overjoyed to awake because it felt like I was in a haunted house, for real!!!

Curses are specific to an individual but plagues don’t discriminate.  A plague takes down both the innocent and the guilty together, insidiously, progressively and consistently. The Lord warned that if you stay, you are a partaker of Her sins and that you will receive of Her plagues. (Rev 18:4)

Don’t say you have not been warned.

Praying In the Spirit and Whooping by Pam Sheppard

21 Saturday Nov 2015

I did not mention WHOOPING in the video because I have witnessed those who did not  whoop yet they still  wrecked  a congregation and caused an emotional uproar with either their prayer or their sermon.  Nevertheless, those who whoop a prayer rarely fail to provoke strong emotional outbursts within the church service.

A simple definition of whooping is that it is an oration that will begin to unfold into either a prayer, but most often erupting in  a sermon when the orator’s words and short phrases take on a rhythmic quality that borders on being a musical sort of repetitive chant. A denominational practice among the  Black Baptists, Pentecostals and less often, the Methodists, the orator will begin to rattle between each phrase, rasping and panting like  someone who suffers with whooping-cough. Other antics can accompany the whooping.  He may bang his fist into the podium, run across the platform, break forth with a loud shout or a shrill or scream, start singing or break out into the holy dance, as its called.   As expected, lots of sweating transpires.

In a paper written about the history of black preaching, Henry.H. Mitchell traces what he refers to as “an art” to West Africa. When I think of worship in Africa, one word comes to mind.  WITCHCRAFT.  Though Mitchell is in support of black heritage in general and black preaching styles like whooping in particular, his scholarly work confirms my greatest reservations:

  We turn now to the questions of whence and how the patterns and content of early Black preaching came, and how the tradition has grown from there. Black preaching and Black religion were greatly influenced by the confluence of two streams of culture, one West African and the other Euro-American.  The primary stream was African. Indeed, the Black church was an attempt, born of a cultural and religious nostalgia, to reestablish on American soil the worship practices…… As DuBois said in 1903, this first church was “not by any means Christian,” but “gradually, after two centuries, the church became Christian.” He added, “It is this historic fact that the Negro church of today bases itself upon the sole surviving social institution of the African Fatherland that accounts for its extraordinary growth and vitality.”21 Dubois went on to suggest that the preacher was also a cultural survival, and Woodson agreed, adding, “The Negro ministry is still the largest factor in the life of this race.”

 
It is altogether natural, then, that the Black homiletic should reflect these same African roots. The languages of Africa are manifestly tonal, and all speaking includes such linguistic features. When Marshall preached with sonority, he was carrying on a traditional African musicality. Yes, he preached in English with impressive polish and dignity, but African rhetorical style is always dignified as well as sophisticated. Sonority is not a sign of primitivism, as is so often assumed even today.*

The Lord Jesus made it simpler and plain.  You know a tree by its fruit. Roots represent the  history of a thing.   You cannot expect that any entity will bring forth good fruit for Christ if its history  began with the worship practices of Africa and as Mitchell acknowledges the words of Dubois, the original African-American church  was just that.  It was African and not Christian!!

I  have personally witnessed how whooping in both a prayer and a sermon can cause churchgoers to momentarily lose their minds— from a woman who threw an infant up in the air after a preacher whooped a message called “Dry Bones,” to several others who fell to the floor, rolled  around like snakes and frothed  at the mouth like they were having a seizure, either while the minister was whooping or immediately after he was finished.

In Come Out of Her God’s People,  there is a chapter on the altered state of consciousness which introduces the term “communal intoxication.”   Here is an excerpt which summaries what I suspect occurs:

IMG_1066

Communal intoxication is defined by the founder of sociology, Max Weber as the supernormal ability of magicians, wizards, witches and charismatic religious leaders. With the God concept at its center, such leaders induce altered states in their followers as demonstrated by the congregant’s manifestations of convulsions, trembling and intense effusions of excitement and ecstasy. Does shouting, the “holy dance, holy rollers, holy laughter,  running around the church, barking and making animal sounds,  tongues, neck bobbing and slain in the spirit fall into this category? This is a question to take very seriously. Denominational preachers who ‘whoop” a sermon have been known to set off widespread communal intoxication where the people enter into a convulsive frenzy.

The IC, Passivity and the Deception of Religious Spirits

, , , , ,

The truth to be emphasized is that God never “wills” instead of man, and whatever a man does, he is himself responsible for his actions. Religious demons major goal is to manipulate the will of a sincere and unsuspecting believer into a state of passivity in order to control us.

The believer whose “will” has become passive, finds, after a time, the greatest difficulty in making decisions of any kind, and he looks outside, and all around him for something to help him to decide the smallest matters. When he has become conscious of his passive condition, he has a painful sense of being unable to meet some of the situations of ordinary life. If spoken to, he knows he cannot will to listen till a sentence is completed; if asked to judge a matter, he knows he cannot do it; if he is required to “remember” or use his imagination, he knows he is unable to, and becomes terrified at any proposed course of action where these demands may come upon him. The tactics of the enemy now may be to drive him into situations where these demands may be made, and thus torture or embarrass him before others.

Little does the believer know that in this condition he may, unknowingly, rely upon the assistance of evil spirits, who have brought about the passivity for this very object. The faculty unused lies dormant and dead in their grip, but if used it is an occasion for them to manifest themselves through it. They are too ready to “will” instead of the man, and they will put within his reach many “supernatural” props to help him in “decision,” especially in the way of “texts” used apart from their context, and supernaturally given, which the believer, seeking so longingly to do the will of God, seizes upon, and firmly grasps as a drowning man a rope, blinded, by the apparently given Divine help, to the principle that God only works through the active volition of a man, and not for him in matters requiring his action.

Taken from Jessie Penn-Lewis in “War on the Saints.”

How many of you have said “I surrender all in the IC and would not act unless you got some kind of sign? How many of you know that the IC is corrupt and infiltrated by fallen angels and demons yet you are waiting on God to give you a special sign before you make a move to leave?

The IC and Her Fear of the Jezebel Spirit by Pam Sheppard

The IC knows that she is falling and points the finger at  what she calls “a Jezebel Spirit.”

Granted, there is no such demon. I have read several articles on the subject, written by IC pastors. What I perceive happening is that this entire Jezebel thing is the IC’s latest explanation of what is happening to Her. The truth is that Fallen angels and demons are riding the backs of fake Christians and using them to tear down each local assembly from within.

What the institutional church is calling Jezebel is really the spirit of the Antichrist. In summary, these are the rats and roaches of my 2007 vision, planted by the enemy in each and every local, national and worldwide assembly. These church members operate like termites, eating away at the system until it collapses from within. In summary, IC Jezebels struggle over and usurp power and authority by destroying other passive zombie types. They manage to get in positions of authority, most difficult to remove , once there.

Most who are considered Jezebels are not the pastors but the lay leaders who support him, usually a woman or a group of women. Pastors who want full control are often intimidated by lay leaders who their members admire and support. So I am certain that much of these kinds of accusations are unfounded. Nevertheless, any church leader deemed a Jezebel is profiled as controlling, manipulative, bossy, clever and intimidating.

Then there are the passive-aggressive ones whose persona is so “sweet and “perfect,” yet inwardly, they are deceitful, “timid” and sneaky. Of both categories, this particular type of so-called “Jezebel” has the capacity to deceive and recruit others to join them as they plot to win out over other church groups and cliques. Sometimes they can be very charming and charismatic. They act to persuade recruits, and do not give up this activity until the recruits are won over. If the potential recruits do not cooperate according to Jezebel’s persuasion, this type becomes angry, relentless at issuing retribution.

More than anything else, the pastor’s fear of these aggressive personalities that keep strife alive, will cause him to have to make some difficult decisions. If wisdom is not used, then the flock will start church hopping which backlashes on the Sunday take at offering time. We have had a few “Jezebels” in RESCUE. They don’t stay long because righteousness and truth run them off.

Spiritual Abuse and Church Hurt by Pam Sheppard

04 Wednesday Nov 2015

Posted by in Uncategorized

≈ 1 Comment

In my phone sessions  with damaged sheep, a truth stirs in my spirit that is difficult to express. When I really listened to what was done to human beings in the church and by the church, all I can say is that many  have  already been crucified and so they  should hopefully expect resurrection. Some reports of spiritual abuse that manifested as the institutional church actually hurting God’s people   cause me to realize how much of the world is in the church system  and how dangerous it is to look back at Her.

Yet, we must look back in order to recover because we need to know what is it about ourselves that caused us to succumb to spiritual abuse in the first place. Even so, we also have to be careful HOW we look back. Anxiety or inner turmoil serves as a sign that we have not completely gotten over a particular thing. So when this happens, we need to retreat, build up strength in that area and confront it when we are better prepared. This is the path of deliverance counseling. We advance and retreat to fight another day.

I think what got to me about a particular  testimony, is that she has already been to the cross and did not know it. Think of it. You go to the church  to get freedom from the world but find yourself actually in the world, suffering under the religious, hypocritical hands of those who are still in the world and they too don’t know it cause they are too frightened to see that they are the Pharisees and Saducees that crucified Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

Some have left the world, even the church world, but like Lot’s wife, the cross has not separated them from the longing that remains in their hearts for the world. THEY REALLY STILL DESIRE TO BE THERE BUT THIS TIME, TO BE ONE OF THE ACCEPTED ONES.

So I warn everyone who has an ear to hear and an eye to see. There is a religious world in our times which is far more dangerous than  other systems that are obviously evil and a part of Satan’s domain. This religious world consists of professing Christians who deny the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ in more ways than one.

The cross symbolizes deliverance from this present evil age (Gal 1:4),—from the powers of darkness (Col 1:13)—from the devils and demons who rule the world under their leader, Satan–(Eph 6:12) and—-on the resurrection side of the cross—WE ARE TRANSLATED INTO THE KINGDOM OF THE SON OF GOD! When we plead the blood, we are telling the enemy that we are dead to his world, that he no longer has authority over us, that we walk in that same power that raised Jesus from the dead.

So think of the horror of going to church to be delivered from the world and this evil age, only to find the same hypocrites who put The Lord Jesus on the cross, have also nailed YOU to it and by so doing, turned YOU loose into the hands of the devil. All I can say is OMG. it is worst than I thought.

More than anyone, it was religion that crucified Him.

Have you been crucified by the IC? The good news is that the Lord’s resurrection is YOUR recovery. RESCUE ONLINE CHURCH is waiting for you, to help you heal speedily from the harm and damage you have endured.

The Unpardonable Sin and the Passive Personality By Pam Sheppard

Whether or not you become a victim to the religious demon’s bombarding you with blasphemous thoughts that cause you to accept that you have committed the unpardonable sin, has a lot to do with your personality type.

pastorps911's avatarSpiritual Warfare Library of PSM

In both the Pentecostal and the Charismatic segments of the institutional church, it is  taught that anytime you question any supernatural manifestation as not being from God, but of being from demons, that you were blaspheming the Spirit, which was unpardonable. This is often  used as a fear tactic. Members were made to be afraid to question any supernatural manifestations, because if you doubted one and  you turned out to be wrong, you had just signed your own one-way death warrant.

To be on the safe side, you had to accept any and every manifestation and assume it was from God, in order to err on the side of caution.  Are members barking like dogs? Thrashing about, bumping into each other? Stumbling around, too drunk to walk? Speaking in a foreign tongue that sounds suspiciously similar to the tongues devil-worshipers speak in? “Well, you can’t put God in a box, surely demons could not…

The Anointing of Charismatic Preachers: Is It Hypnotism?

This article highlights yet another reason why the unsuspecting should stop attending church. There is an anointing there, but it is not the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Be warned! Be safe!

pastorps911's avatarSpiritual Warfare Library of PSM

I was a preacher in a black denominational church  for almost 3 decades. I preached an average of one sermon a week for 20 years, with 8 of those years preaching 3 sermons a week. On one occasion in the pulpit in 1983, I felt a strange power come upon me where it seemed I was “not myself.” It was in a rather strong altered state of consciousness. I thought it  was simply  an extra powerful anointing of the Holy Ghost. I now know that IT WAS NOT!!! I had reservations about it because of the struggle I was having with a particular sin at that time. I wondered “how and why would God anoint me like this at such a  challenging time in my spiritual walk. I said to myself “hmmmm.”

  I knew nothing about sermonizing. When I went to church for the first in 1979, I had never heard…

Leaving Church: How I Keep It Simple by Pam Sheppard

Recently I received an email where I was asked the following questions:

So in your teaching, you concentrate a lot on the  organized church and the false teachings that are in there. Which is of course the right thing to expose, and I am  fully behind you on that.

However, what happens to the people who leave the IC? Some of the ones that are more fortunate come across your site and can read about things, and perhaps enter into Rescue. All very good stuff which I fully support.

However this leaves three sets of people a) those who want nothing to do with the church and God b) those who still want a relationship but outside of IC and c) those who go totally over into areas where the IC never could or should go. It is this group that I have a question as this is very close to home for me.

These are the people who get involved for example in areas of New Age or get sucked into alterative deliverance ministries. I was just wondering Pam in your experience have you come across people who leave the IC because they do not feel there is enough of the spiritual aspect and then they end up seeing a spiritual reason for everything going wrong e.g. generational curse, freemasonry, curses, witchcraft? 

AND I AGREE!!!

The condition of the institutional church  and its members is a difficult thing to swallow for those who identify with the scripture that is wrongly interpreted to suggest  that all will be saved, or at least a vast majority. Instead,  I personally focus on the words of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth  where He warned  that the way to salvation is narrow and few there be who will  find it. The Lord  also implied that there would be very few of His own that He will find when He returns to earth.

There is also an implication in the questions  that I am doing a nice little thing here with RESCUEONLINE CHURCH  but it’s only a drop in the bucket. The difference between me and the person posing the question is that I see the bucket as small when the other person sees it as large. Also, the one posing the question has not taken into account that one of the reasons for many leaving is that the church system has already become deeply involved in New Age, in alternative deliverance ministries and all kinds of questionable Asian and occult practices.

I admit that I had similar questions about  five years ago, where I felt like I was a tiny cog in a huge wheel. Then I came to the revelation that THIS IS GOD’S BUSINESS and NOT MINE. I just do what He gives me to do, with a few or with “more than a few.” If I focus on the untold millions of both churchgoers and non-churchgoers who are deceived, I would get discouraged, then stagnant, and consequently, unproductive.  So I work with who and what I have at hand.

I did not contend with the one who questioned me by email  but the truth is that I am consistently evolving. As such,  I no longer focus on  either the organized church or its false doctrines and practices.  My message on leave the church is extremely simple and targeted. Its  targeted to those who have already heard from the Lord regarding the institutional church and who have been questioning Her for some time.

The simplicity of my message is this:

  1.  The Holy Spirit is not  in the institutional church.  He may be in a few of the people but He is not in the system or in the buildings.  I suspect He never was but I don’t know for sure.  All I know is that He is not there.  How do I know?  Well He told me so.  I do not try to compel anyone to believe me.  I simply say, “In your praying, ask God if I am correct.”  Simple.
  2. the Lord told us in the book of Revelation that back 2000 years ago, Satan has a seat.  Today, the devil  is fully in charge by steadily accruing  the world wide empowerment of his fallen angels assigned to each and every pulpit.  When I was a pastor in the IC, a fallen angel was assigned to the church I pastored also, while in that system. I closed it after 12 years that I established it within the IC. Simple.
  3. The Lord Himself spoke to His people through the Apostle John and stated to the last days church, “Come out of Her My People, lest ye be partakers of Her sin and receive Her plagues.” Simple.

These 3 reasons alone are enough to warn people to leave the church.  If I am wrong, any local church will welcome you back. 

If your spirit bares witness because God has already been talking to you. then RESCUE may be for you.  We offer a 30 day trial, so you can check us out, no harm, no foul to either you or to us.  If interested, visit www.aboutrescue.com  the link to the trial is on the home page.

John Crowder, Rodney Howard Brown and Patricia King Did Not Start Christian Mysticism

By Pam Sheppard

What is an altered state of consciousness or briefly an ASC? First of all, I believe it should be clarified that each of us has a different normal state of consciousness. Take driving to work for example. If you travel the same path for years on end to your job, you will find that if you are going to shop in a store within the vicinity of your former workplace, the familiarity of the road may trigger an “alter” of your state of consciousness. Instead of making the turn to the furniture store, perhaps you subconsciously drove towards your former job site. Minor “altered states” like this are triggered by familiarity but most of all by routine.

Keeping it simple, there are moments in time when our sensations, perceptions, thoughts and emotions are “altered” from our normal state and several events can trigger the alteration. In such cases, we experience a diminished executive control and our soul’s function of protection begins to change.

Everyone has experienced a mild trance like state from time to time where we strongly thought that we picked up our keys, but we really never touched them. Likewise, we can get caught up in a sports game on TV, a movie, cooking, even day dreaming.

So an altered state of consciousness is on a wide spectrum, from very mild daydreaming to deep trances that are induced by artificial means. The list is long— hypnosis, chanting, meditation, yoga, trauma, drugs, and sexual orgasm, to name but a few. In the mid 19th century, Max Weber, the Father of Sociology, defined the altered state in a way that very accurately portrays how altered states of consciousness are induced during congregate worship services.

Weber stated that an altered state of consciousness is entered into in two ways: by tradition and by charisma. He defines tradition as an automatic and unthinking repletion of a person who manifests passivity through lethargy and inertia. Traditional ASC”s are predictable and mundane, consisting of a life governed by routine. On the other hand, charisma is just the opposite. It is a quality of human personality that is extraordinary and treated as though it is endowed with supernatural, superhuman or at least exceptional powers, qualities and abilities.

Astoundingly, I noticed that Weber described in the 19th and early 20th century our own present day church experience within his definition for simply put, there are two main churches: the denominational or “traditional” churches and the non- denominational or “charismatic” churches, whether they be Pentecostal or word of faith.

So when  churchgoers holler  out with  piercing yells, when their heads bob back and forth like  mechanical toys,  when they  groan, shake and vibrate uncontrollably, or race  around the church at full speed ,or  bang themselves into the church walls, screaming like they are literally on fire, or stagger around with slurred speech as if drunk,  they have undoubtedly entered into an altered state of consciousness which resembles a panic attack.

With a panic attack, the heart starts to race, followed by   uncontrollable shaking, convulsing, slurred words, an inability  to walk, and  hyperventilating will bring on fear, thus a panic attack.  On the other hand, a similar description can be applied to a charismatic altered state as  manifested in church, often referred to as “catching the Holy Ghost.” it has been described as an involuntary  contraction of your ab muscles, similar to a quick jerk.  Unlike a panic attack, the churchgoer passively embraces  a supernatural  manifestation because the churchgoer is deceived into believing that the Holy Spirit is upon them. Those standing might look like they were punched in the stomach.

How do these manifestations happen?  Why do they occur?  I suspect  that they  begin with the  gathered assembly entering into an altered state through hypnotic music, followed by the maneuvers of  a charismatic leader who either is  intuitively in sync with group dynamics  or who has been trained in the practices and   techniques of hypnotism.  By design and forethought, the leader purposefully  triggers these outbursts, with the help of evil spirits loosed in the congregation.

The first time I saw slain in the spirit was in 1979, in a  denominational church service of less than 100 people, where an unknown  Pentecostal woman was the guest preacher. She had practically everyone laying on the ground, bouncing up and down like human balls, wailing, babbling and twerking.  So people like  John Crowder, Rodney Howard Brown, Patricia King and other 21 century contemporaries did not usher in Christian mysticism.in fact, Marie Woodworth Etter and  some of her contemporaries, and then years later, strange manifestations occurred during the Asuza Street and the Wales Revivals. So the strangeness of today has its roots in the strangeness of yesterday. What   commenced with others has  catapulted over the last 10 years or so into a widespread phenomena.

Simply put, it is not the work of the Holy Spirit but the work of fallen angels and demons. .

If you have been caught up in this sort of worship, chances are you are demonized and you need help.  Contact us at rescueonfb@icloud.com Also visit www.aboutrescue.com

Christian Mysticism and Accepting Christ by Pam Sheppard

Here is the testimony of a non churchgoer, who believes he became born again on his first church visit to a charismatic church:

Ethan’s Testimony

I would like to explain my conversion experience.I was using meth at the time and demons were tormenting me. I had been going through all I can explain it as a initiation to an endtime cult  and I had  submitted myself to becoming a member of the organization.  I was taken into the desert. I was shown at this place altars where human bones were burned to different facets of this cult. However on the Rock was written the word Jesus saves.

It was if I was at the crossroads of a decision right then. I decided in myself then that I would seek Jesus but I hid it in my heart so as not to alert those who were with me. On the return trip large pillars of smoke began to rise from the ground in the desert and I became fearful. The cult had already condemned me as what they called a spy and had sentenced me to death.

I prayed to God that if I could just come and say I was sorry for what I had done by submitting myself to this cult and apologize for my sin that I would come back and accept the consequences of my action. I asked one of the cult members who was driving to drop me off at a local church which it would seem that they had no choice but to accept my decision.

so I went to church.  In the church I went in and was taken by some of the disciples to a room where they had me orally confess my sin. I did not want to go back but was willing to keep my word. After my confession of these things I sat through a service in which the preacher basically preached about my situation directly at me.

After the service I went up to the front and asked God for forgiveness and to just say that I was sorry for what I did. I did not expect to live through the night and I was ready to face the consequences of my sin. At this time the men surrounded me. And laid their hands on me and many were speaking in tongues. but one was speaking plain English. At this time,  a felt a surge of electricity go through my innermost being as one of them proclaimed I baptize you in the Holy Ghost. There was a instant presence upon me.

Then one of them handed me a bible on the way out and as I touched the bible I felt a fire like surge go through my hand and into my spirit. On the way out I was ready to go back and face my death but a member of the Church told me that God did not want me to return and invited me to stay with him. The next morning as I awoke the doorway to the spirit realm that was opened was closed.

I went to church the next day and as the man preached he said not to take the devil on by myself. . I testify that the spirit within me is the Holy Spirit. While I am obedient and faithful to Him he leads me and I bear peace and the fruits of the Spirit are evident. I have been under the influence of demons and the Holy Spirit and they are polar opposites. The Holy Ghost is forgiving gentle and takes away the desires of the flesh as described in the bible. The demon spirits bring confusion, fear, self loathing, perversion etc.There is no way to confuse the two. While I understand now the origin of tongues and the deceptions in the church is it not possible that God dealt with me on a individual level in this situation. i am sure that I was born again but I think I have followed church doctrine after my conversion in which it seems the Lord has slowly been revealing the truth to me. I have went through many churches including Mormonism, Pentecostalism, Charismatic etc. but I was not comfortable in anyone of them. Is it possible that God allowed me to go through these things to build me up to receive truth. Ultimately I was lead to RESCUE through this process. I was not born again by saying a prayer but when I came to God with sincere sorrow and acceptance that I deserved everything that was coming to me is when I was born again and I cannot deny the power of the Holy Ghost manifest in me.

My Assessment

This is an example of Christian Mysticism at its finest because it ignores the essential components of the gospel of Jesus Christ and makes the Holy Spirit sensual.  The Lord Jesus Christ is not at the center of this so called conversion as there is no mention of the cross and true repentance  and nothing about the resurrection of the Lord.  What I perceive is a man concerned about his sin out of fear.  it begins with demons and it ends with demons, who play their own spiritual trickery and deception in a staged enactment  of good cop, bad cop.

Ethan jumped out of an witchcraft pot into a frying pan of Christian mysticism.

Christian Mysticism in the Church Today! by Pam Sheppard

18 Sunday Oct 2015

Posted by in Uncategorized

Deliverance ministries generally assume that sin is always the reason why a captive is demonized. Yet it has been my experience that it ain’t necessarily so. 

Several of my clients have done wrong things— sins of all kinds, witchcraft, incest, you name it but some of my clients have done no wrong. They have lived lives that Christians who are not being tormented by demons should emulate. It is sad to say but there are countless faithful church goers who have been out-and-out deceived by religion and religious people. I can find no excuse to place the blame on the deceived.
Today, people are being saved and delivered, one at a time over the telephone. I am available 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. But I am only one person. I can only handle 30 clients a week. I am getting closer to the end of my life. I can only make a very small impact. Even if I was a mega preacher, I would not be able to do more than any of the rest of them are doing. They are not really the root of the problem. It is the model that we have ALL been using–bringing huge crowds as well as small groups into small and big barns, without repentance, on a “believe and receive” gospel.
Let’s face it and be real here. As a denominational pastor for years, I myself could do absolutely nothing while a part of that religious system. Yet today, the tide is turning, the Holy Spirit is moving and people are being saved and delivered. My job is very simple. I preach the gospel of repentance and the bodily resurrection of the Lord and the Holy Spirit is moving on hardened hearts to lead people to repent, giving them the faith to believe on Jesus. I am casting out demons—on the telephone, no less–from those who will humble themselves to receive it. This one referenced case has taught me that since the organized church is not working, radio and tv is not working, it would be useless for me to reinvent the wheel cause it wouldn’t work with me either. It hasn’t and it won’t. I don’t know any other models other than working with people one on one. I have been out on the street in street ministry. That DOES work if the basic gospel is being preached and it is not aimed toward bringing people into a church that is going to confuse them.
What I am expecting is that the Lord is going to do a mass thing, around the world, similar to what He did to me and for me. I was an atheist and I was not seeking Him. He came after me in a dream and brought me to the cross without the benefit of man. I was sent to church, not to be nurtured, but that I would understand and perceive the problem and learn what NOT to do about 25 years later. More than two decades of “Church” has not done much for me. As I wrote in the “Come Out Of her God’s People”, I have remained a root in dry ground. I got a hunger for the word from Kenneth Copeland and others and Joyce Meyer provided some good, solid teaching.
But for the most part, I was attracted to Copeland and the rest of them because they were “supernatural” and my background was in the occult. The two were almost an extension of each other and so I found word of faith to be “comfortable”—in other words, charismatic witchcraft. The denominations harmed me in the beginning because they were loose on sin and so until I got grounded on my own and took dominion over my own sin, I fell to carnal ministers. But once I had sexual sin under control, the denominations did not really harm me. They may have hurt my feelings and injured my pride, but they didn’t harm me. They couldn’t harm me because I was saved BEFORE I arrived. Just as the denomination I was in didn’t know the truth, I didn’t know the truth either.
The major point I am making is that the church as it is now operating today is “doing harm” to people who are serious about finding Jesus. And I shudder at the thought. I KNOW the problem. The problem is 200 years old, starting with evangelist like Charles Finney and others. I thought I KNEW the organizational solution. Once, I thought that the answer was in home fellowships, in spite of the many problems that can affect that also.
You see, I really didn’t realize just how much the devil has penetrated the church. I have faith that God is going todo something. I am simply throwing up my hands and praying, “Lord, this battle is YOURS and I don’t have a clue as to how you plan to deal with it. Just “cause me to be ready.” Once I said this prayer just a few months ago, I was shown that I have not really been “a root in dry ground.” I too have been contaminated by the beliefs, traditions and practices of both the denominational and the nondenominational Protestant church. It seems that every week, the Lord brings to my attention some practice or some area of biblical “mis” interpretation that clients need to be cleansed from. In my book “Faces of the Religious Demon,” several cases of this sort are described in detail.

Coming Out Of The Church

Once you COME OUT of the church building, one of the most important things you can do for yourself is to acknowledge the truth of where you have been and what you have taken part in; and then begin to state where you stand NOW! Below is a post by Pam Sheppard that explains how you can restore your free will so that you can be on your path to true freedom.

The Importance of Affirmations

“The thing that all human beings have to fight with is our God given free will. In order for the enemy to control us, he needs our passivity to steal our free will from us. Stating an affirmation that both the enemy and your own soul can hear is very important because stating an affirmation helps us to restore our free will.
Here are two affirmations to stand on where your free will is…

SCANDAL and the Institutional Church

Here is an interesting quote from a blog called Detox From Church For Real, as it pertains to those who have left the
institution called “church.”

“If you’re not careful, keep harping on what’s wrong with church can become YOUR religion. An obsession. An addiction as real as that to crack cocaine…Keeping your spirit’clean’ also means turning away from that which poisons you, that takes you back to that place of being wounded by churchianity. I don’t see recovering drug addicts going back to the crack houses…trying to ‘save’ those who are caught up in the drug scene. SO what’s with religious folks trying to ‘save’ the lost and misguided, the bamboozled, the deceived in church?vThat’s NOT your job anyways…THAT IS THE JOB OF THE HOLY GHOST.” (Wenona Russ)

In ministry while in a denomination for 25 years, I was once  one of the wounded, so I personally know the truth of this quote. When the Bishop manipulated the leadership council to remove my name from the membership rolls  back in 2004, even though I had been shown by God what would happen nine months before the deed was done, I was still both hurt, bitter and angry. The truth is that when you focus on individuals and not the religiously political system that my enemies represented, bitterness and even outrage will naturally surface. I took out my rage on them in a book, where I changed names but I identified the denomination. I re-wrote the book a few years later, with a new title “Come Out of Her God’s People,”  and  without identifying the specific church.  BT,.I no longer market the original. You see,   once a critic stated that I sounded “bitter,” I realized that my literary articulation was being negatively affected by the outrage that I thought I had successfully suppressed.

The truth is that I had allowed “looking back” at their scandals to tarnish my own soul.   I have purposed in my heart to  refuse  to allow any person, place, thing  or entity to shape, or even slightly influence the essence of who I am according to who God created me to be. .

Once the Lord revealed to me the deep truth as to why I was rejected by church leaders, I never again looked back at them or  their SCANDALS.

You see, there was and I expect continues to be much SCANDAL in this particular sect—so much so that I am reminded of the TV series that bears the same name.

SCANDAL

In this regard, as a former pastor among them,   I once knew of loads of COVERED UP denominational  scandals among the religious white- washed tombs of  the persevering hypocrites.  So watching the politicians cover-up of scandals on the TV series  reminded me of  the games religious folk play.

At first, like everyone else, you look at the individual characters to make an assessment as to who is to blame, who is at fault. With the TV series, you wonder if  it is the President or his monstrous Chief of Staff! Or is it his power-hungry First Lady, or perhaps the head of the secret agency called B613? In my “church situation,” , I first looked at the people involved in trying to bring me down in the church. There were three of them.

On the TV series, when you begin to watch each character  lie, plot, scheme, manipulate, and even murder, I noticed that  at the heart of their behavior is their yet naive attempt to be the good guys, wearing the white hat. The characters are able to live with their mess 20140303_185514because they can still rationalize that they did their best to protect the republic. So with all of their political tactics, you have to ask yourself “well! who is the republic?”

And this is the institutional church. . Both politics and religion use the same tactics. Religious folk” kill off”  other churchfolk because they believe they are protecting  their territory within the IC.  Therefore, it is understandable that both politics and religion  have their part to play as Mystery Babylon.

Consider the IC.

By any means necessary, whether a famous mega preacher or the choir director or trustee of a 50 member church, the goal is the same. To protect the IC, which like the republic is a non-human entity. A system. A religious system.

The reality is that the problems and SCANDALS of the IC have been built into Her system for the last 17 centuries. so there is no one in the IC today who is really the originator of any of her present circumstances.

Olivia Pope had an interesting revelation about the republic. As the re-election campaign manager for the sitting President, she came to realize that it really did not matter who wins. All three candidates committed murder. The democrat committed a premeditated murder of his wife’s lover, the independent killed her closet gay husband in a fit of rage and covered it up, and the incumbent President killed a dying woman who was about to release a damnable secret to the press!

In other words, ALL THREE CANDIDATES ARE MURDERERS!!!!!

Upon this realization, Olivia got yet another revelation. Working for the republic at any cost changes who you are because through passivity, you lose yourself. Engulfed in darkness, you can no longer stand in the sun.

Herein lies what happens in the IC. Each individual loses him or herself trying to sustain Her. When a member or a pastor  become a target of destruction in the denomination I was ordained in, the expression was “the Bishop or the  Council killed him or killed her. When a  church scandal has been covered up, the devil comes in and takes over.

That is why, rather than spend my energy bashing Her, I focus on restoring individuals who desire freedom from Her. Seeking freedom? Check out RESCUE at www.aboutrescue.com or call 518-477-5759

What are some other reasons why it is fruitless to continue to look back at HER to expose, criticize or blame?

Well, If she were alive, I know of someone who can answer the question by her own personal experience. God warned those He led out of two decadent cities not to look back at what He was destroying. For to look back is a sign that you want to GO  back.

Let Lot’s wife warn YOU  from her pillar of salt.

Sharmila BORKAR from Dubai is the author of the newsletter.

Sharmila is a RESCUE miracle. Delivered, over the phone from several powerful demons, that tormented her for many years, she was also born again during a telephone deliverance counseling session with Pam Sheppard. A talented, creative writer, here is a brief sample in Sharmila’s own words, a short description of how she was transformed from religion to truth:

Before I came to RESCUE, I did not have the slightest idea about the power of Resurrection, I never focused on it nor was ever taught about it. I never took the Lord’s death and resurrection seriously as I thought, he must have got some power from God and it happened so easily… that he must have not even felt the pain of his sufferings. So strong was my pride in the false ideas I carried, that I used to pray – you died one day but here I’m dying everyday… so please help me!

Then later on I was advised that I have to accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior of my life by a sign of water baptism… and in doing so I will be a new person and all will go well with me. I did but nothing changed. Then I thought I might not be doing enough to get HIS attention to touch and save me and I started putting in all my time, efforts, energy in tongue talking, bible reading (10-20 chapters per day), praying for hours, praising and breaking the bread 2 times a day etc… I was still in bondage.

Finally when Pastor Pam Sheppard, the founder of RESCUE explained to me about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I was stunned. The truth is that I never knew He was raised back in the SAME body. It was so shocking that I was in an exclamation mode! As Pastor Pam spoke to me from New York as I sat in my living room in Dubai, she said ‘now that you know all that you ever should know about the Lord’s Resurrection, there’s nothing that can stop you from being born again’.

Immediately I was sobbing endlessly with the realization that I had searched for Him in all the wrong places. Yet I was also crying for joy, with both victory and excitement because I had just received such a powerful revelation and a deep conviction that – HE HAS RISEN, HE IS ALIVE, MY SAVIOUR LIVES!

The 24/7 demonic manifestations of more than two decades stopped immediately, —- right there with Pam on the phone, I was filled with lots of hope and faith, followed by His mercies which are new to me every morning …and I instantly knew that I was finally born again, without any effort of my own.

There Is No Stigma To A False Conversion

08 Monday Sep 2014

Posted by in counterfeit births, endtimes, false conversions

≈ 4 Comments

By Pam Sheppard

Those who thought they were born again because of the various salvation practices they embraced while a regular member of the institutional church often begin to feel that there is a stigma to admitting to a false conversion.

THERE IS NO STIGMA.

False conversions are not just about YOU. Over decades, more likely centuries of time, the enemy has strategically infiltrated some of God’s elect by causing a premature false conversion in more people than you or I can count. This is Satan’s last days coup: to deceive the elect of God by blocking their salvation with a false conversion they assumed was bonafide.

The thing is that God does not put new wine into old wine skins. The way to defeat a false conversion is to examine it and then to admit it was false. Once these steps are taken and the imposter, the fake Jesus Sananda is renounced and rejected, all you have to do is continue to receive truth and at His appointed time, you will be born again.the Holy Spirit will draw you to the cross, for real THIS time.

So be joyful and hopeful for THE LORD PLANS TO UNDECEIVE AND SAVE THEM ALL!!!!!!

To overcome the sense of stigma, know that in these times, you are not alone. A false conversion is NOT the exception but it is the rule. I would go so far to say that if there is one true saved person in a church of 500,000, I would be surprised.

Yet this is is no surprise to God. Jesus predicted it. The Lord revealed in His End-times parable, that Satan would enter into His crop, mingle among the elect of God, and create a false, damaged crop—so much so that we can’t tell one from the other. In fact, the saved look like the unsaved and the unsaved look like the saved. It began in church, but the enemy is also birthing false conversions among non churchgoers as well.

So I perceive that there is a new, more hopeful twist to these events and circumstances so I implore you not to be upset to consider that you have had a false conversion.

Here is the beginning of the new twist. The fact that you have had one could be a sign that God plans to reverse it and save you.

Consider this. Those who are NOT God’s people but who are extremely religious were never converted anyway. They do not have a false conversion. They are simply sitting in church, among the damned, those not selected for eternal life with God. They will never examine their salvation because they were never really converted in the first place.

Like Jesus said to the religious hypocrites of His day, those of THIS kind is OF their FATHER, THE DEVIL. They like being deceived and they will not even consider even the remotest possibility that they are not born again. these are those who will one day hear The Lord Jesus say “I NEVER KNEW YOU.

However if your desire for God goes far beyond just a fear of going to hell or a desire to be rich and prosperous on this side of glory, believe me, He already saved you before He framed worlds. I did not hear about it until I was 33 years old. you may be 90 when you hear, but He will certainly call you to Him without you confessing ANYTHING!

I have never been religious but I am learning a lot about the journey through my counseling practice and from hearing from people online, who have all had false conversions.What I am discovering is that there is a bottom, a ground zero so to speak.It seems a person is close to that bottom when he or she comes to realize the truth—-that deep down, he or she never really wanted God Himself.

When a person sees the scripture that says “the carnal mind is at enmity with God” and it is realized that all he or she ever did was to try to become motivated toward God with a carnal mind, I think, ONLY then is a religious person getting close to the bottom, almost fully broken.

When all religious motives and efforts, including the pretenses acted out become as filthy rags, then salvation is close at hand.

RESCUE is a ministry devoted to upsetting Satan’s plan and delivering captives from religious deception. You can call 518-477-5759 or send an email to rescueonfb@icloud.com

The World, the Flesh and the Devil

fb_5There is a serious contradiction in hoping for  for salvation while still lusting after things offered by the world. The Lord made it plain that He is not of this world.  We are in the world but we are not OF the world.  If you strongly   desire the things of the world, Why do you really desire to be saved, other than some religious person laid a fear and guilt infested reason upon you? The scriptures say that friendship with the world is enmity towards God. So if you are still desiring things according to the world’s expectations, why do you claim you want Jesus Christ of Nazareth?  In other word, who are you fooling?  It sure aint HIM!!!! He knows your heart better than you do!!!!

What happens to religious people is that they have been denying the things of the world because they were afraid of her, yet they still desired her.  In this country, our pursuit of happiness is what gets us stuck because we are trained by the world to assume that we are entitled to everything the world offers, including her sin.

Take me for example.  Growing up in NYC, my mother prohibited me from doing what the other kids in   the neighborhood were doing. I had to be in the house by sunset, sorrowfully and reluctantly leaving all the other kids who played out in the summertime til midnight.   As long as I lived in my mother’s house, I could not have dates, young men could not even walk me home or call my house.  So the social life that I was denied, I strongly desired.  Consequently, as soon as I got out of my mother’s house by going to college, I WENT WILD!!!!! I was an 18 yr old virgin, set free from all the restrictions, who went from an A student the first semester to a D student.  I let it all hang out.  I started hanging off of bar stools,  looking for love in all the wrong places, simply because I felt I was entitled to what I called MY LIFE!

Likewise, any time a religious person has been restricted from the world BEFORE becoming born again, once the world presents an opportunity, all commonsense and caution are thrown to the wind.

Once you REALLY become ‘IN CHRIST,” then the lust for the world will automatically die of its own accord.  I have been dead to the world for 37 years.  It was only through going to church, that the world was placed in my face AGAIN.  And that is the irony.  All of a sudden, I had to have a man, to be married, to have all of the “things” the IC preached I was entitled to.

I had been born again about four years when God began calling me to ministry. My bible teacher got a message for me one day. I was sitting in class and he saw a ring on my finger. It had an onyx stone in the center of it. As my fingers actually had no rings on them, it was a vision of sorts.

I asked Steve Slivinsky, the one who introduced me to the charismatics by giving me a Kenneth Hagin book went on to interpret it.

He said “The onyx stone was one of the 12 stones on the ephod of the priests. Perhaps God is calling you to ministry. Or perhaps the man in your life, your future husband will give you this ring.”

I completely ignored the first interpretation, ran out and wrote down the second interpretation and had it notarized, so that when the man came along, as he gave me the ring, I would prove to him that “he was the one” by whipping out the notarized word.

What an asshole I was!!!!!

that was the year 1981. 33 years ago. I don’t know where that statement is but I have had two husbands and at least four or five other boyfriends and aint nobody given me an onyx stone YET!!!!!!!

I had at least 10 other signs in 1981 that supported that GOD WAS CALLING ME TO MINISTRY.

The Lord let me know several years back that my problem was that I wanted a husband MORE than I wanted to serve Him.It was about eight years later that I heard from God where He said “as long as you keep this man/husband thing on your brain, you will reject the real ministry that I have for you.

I cried. I knew this word to be the truth.

So what did I do? I blended the two. My husband would be a minister and I would be his co-pastor. What a mess that turned out to be, with the devil sending me not just  one man from his arsenal, but two, totaling 17 years of stress and trouble.

Well, years have gone by and I have developed into a woman in Christ who is not called to co-pastor NUTHIN! It took dealings, trials and tribulations of diverse kinds  for me to come out of the world with my thinking and with my emotions..So   I say, face your lust for the acceptance and standards of the world now, or the devil will sift you like wheat later.

The Carnal Christian: Is There Such a Thing?

02 Tuesday Sep 2014

Posted by in black church, born again, carnal Christians, salvation, sin

≈ Leave a comment

, , ,

 According to the institutional church, particularly Charismatics, Baptists, and other denominations where sin is prevalent among the membership, these folk have an explanation. The explanation is that carnal Christians are saved. They love the Lord but since they are carnal, or worldly, they are justified but not sanctified. they have accepted Jesus as Savior but have not submitted themselves to Him as Lord.

This perspective also contends that carnal Christians can remain so for the rest of their lives. Even though throughout a lifetime of faithful church attendance and service, it is believed that carnal Christians will certainly get into heaven but so as by fire, or by the skin of their teeth.

I have excellent recall of the choir in the church where I began as a member in 1979. These folk were faithful, always in church. some of them were heavy tithers. I recall that they were also the most demonstrative worshipers, shouting, crying, falling slain, testifying of the Lord’s goodness, leaping up in the Holy Dance, etc.

Yet, the elders habitually sinned, particularly fornication. Their daughters were constantly getting pregnant, proudly wearing their choir robes with their bellies sticking out for all to see, with no husbands in sight. The choir pianist was a gay drug user, beloved of the entire church. He died in his 40’s, never having changed his lifestyle.

Regularly, unwed mothers held baby showers in the church, like there was nothing wrong with this sort of behavior. I understand that nothing has changed among them.—in fact a tolerance of sin has so increased, that it goes more unnoticed today than it did 40 years ago. simply put, no change in character or in their values.

The explanation is that they love The Lord but that they are simply carnal Christians.

In our private blog, RESCUE members had some interesting things to say about this subject:

 I have been around these type of people the majority of my life. Growing up, I was raised in a Baptist church, where basically people just do certain things to claim they are sorry for their sin and want to be saved. Then, after they are so called, “saved,” they try to justify their sin by using works of the flesh to try to keep from sinning. But they can’t do it, so they make excuses for their sin, and say, “Well, since I am saved, I am under grace, so God will forgive me as a “christian,” for doing this sinful thing. Then, they live their lives as if they are in so many trials and tribulations, and God is supposed to do everything for them. Not once do they even consider that God is not sitting at the throne waiting to give them their every need and desire because their motivation for trying to change is “getting into heaven.” These people live their lives one way in front of certain people, and behind closed doors live another way. They are the worst sinners I know! lol I used to always wonder why people were saying they were christians, but their lives did not reflect a love for living a holy life. Honestly, I used to laugh at them, because I knew it was fake. How can you claim to love God in one breath, and act like the devil in another? Yet, the minute somebody calls you on it, you say, “God knows my heart.” PULEEEZZE!!! Yeah, he knows your heart alright! He knows that it is wicked! They came up for every excuse in the book. These type of people would always focus everything on the Prodigal Son parable, implying that you can leave God and then come back to him and still be saved. Hmmm…..

Yes, I was one of those carnal Christians, but realized that this is wrong. Almost everyone I know is either a carnal Christian or they claim that their sins are not serious ones. So, I’ve seen either total acceptance of sin, or the condemnation and hyper critical judging of it. The greed, the politics, the discrimination, and the exclusion of others due to the fact that these others sin differently, is hypocrisy. I knew I wasn’t right, and found out why, but who knows how many are out there that do not know, and will never know the Truth. I am just glad that God has been showing me the Truth, and pulled me out of that nonsense. Now, I know I am not born again. With that knowledge it explains why I’ve not been able to overcome the flesh or sin on my own. It is impossible to do. When I am born again, I know the slate will be wiped clean and I will have the Holy Spirit to help me overcome the flesh and sin.

I was carnal and did my best to hide it behind a religious mask in fear of judgement. I always felt very guilty inside and wondered why I could never break free. I would see others who didn’t exactly drink or smoke or engage in sexual sin but they instead were controlling and abusive to a very sinful degree which was quite acceptable. It was my constant carnality that finally helped me realize I wasn’t saved. My carnality was drinking, smoking and depression. Had my carnality been religiosity or jezebelliousness (lol) I would still be in her! No matter how hard I tried I just couldn’t keep up with them. I relapsed into drinking after close to 4 years again to ease the pressure of a very controlling Holiness church…I can trace a lot of problems occurring after going to that church including a botched suicide attempt. This is where I seen the image of sananda etched on a pew. I had seen an image of him before even reading Pams book. That’s why immediately I knew Pam was speaking the truth and was like this huge revelation. I didn’t want to accept that I was not immediately unsaved, but the truth and proof was there,,,,,,there are no carnal Christians those who are truly born again. I am sure sin will come for those born again but to be in that same sin for 6 years straight is a strong clue of a false conversion.
