Why are there so many demons in the church? Part 2

In my last note, I ask the question of why is there an increase of demonic activity in the church.

The book the  ‘New Idolatry,’, Pam Sheppard presents a detailed explanation as to why there are demons in the church, from a historical perspective.  It is a must read for all discerning Christians. You can get the book by clicking the following links: www.lulu.com/content/8761420 for the softcover and www.lulu.com/content/11927464 for the e-book.

I realize that even though I went into it briefly, I didn’t answer the question!

We talked about how the churches today has given free course and access in the spirit realm to the spirit of Baal, and how the Spirit of God is NOT in the churches today.

Just in case you missed that, let me repeat:  THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD HAS LEFT THE BUILDING(S)!!!!!

How can I say that?

Well, a study of church history alone will reveal that, but my most compelling reason for saying that ICHABOD has been written across the doors of most churches and ministries is evident right in the Word of God!

But I can also say that because DELIVERANCE is NOT being done and taught in the church today!  We have an increase of people who vehemently deny the existence of demons in the lives of so-called believers, therefore ruling out the need for deliverance.

I have never lived in a day where deliverance is so spoken AGAINST.  This is sad because the Word CLEARLY states that those who believe and are baptized WILL CAST OUT DEVILS (Mark 16:16-18)!

In Matthew 12 (read and study it for yourself), the scriptures go into how Jesus and the disciples were rebuked by the Pharisees (the religious folks) because they were getting something to eat and Jesus was healing folk…on the sabbath day.  So Jesus tells them HE is GREATER than the sabbath, yet they do not discern who HE is, so it means nothing to them.  The Pharisees then went on to accuse him of doing deliverance (casting out devils) by the spirit of Beelzebub (or the devil).

We hear folks talk all the time about blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.  And traditionally speaking, we in the pentecostal and charismatic movements have been taught that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is speaking against speaking in tongues.  But I want you to take a look at that scripture…in its PROPER context.

For years, we have been taught that scripture (Matt. 12:31-32) out of its proper context.  We all assumed that meant ‘you better not say there is no such thing as speaking in tongues…’  That is NOT blasphemy against the Holy Ghost.

Read through the WHOLE chapter, and you will see that Jesus speaks MORE on the CASTING OUT OF DEVILS,  which we term as ‘deliverance,’ throughout the chapter.

It is when the blind and deaf man is brought to Jesus that He speaks of the Kingdom of God.  He explains how the devil wouldn’t cast out himself; it would tear down his kingdom.  Jesus speaks FIRST of binding the strongman of a house (one of our favorite scriptures we use to teach on deliverance), then being able to take the goods of the house.  It is also here where Jesus rebukes the Pharisees for asking for a sign.  He calls them ‘generation of vipers,’ and ‘a wicked generation’ because they seek after a sign.

It is in this chapter where Jesus also speaks of the instance when an evil spirit is cast out of a man.  The spirit is not at rest because it cannot find a home…

Matt. 12:43-45

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.

 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.

 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

I go into all this for a reason.  When DELIVERANCE is spoken against and not taught-or improperly taught-then it is incomplete.  There is more to deliverance than JUST casting out devils.  After the devils are cast out, that vessel it was cast out of MUST BE FILLED with THE HOLY GHOST.  Or else that evil spirit WILL come back!

The same principle in deliverance applies to a HOUSE as well.  Let’s say a church goes through deliverance.  The pastor on down to the baby in the pew gets delivered.  BUT after the deliverance, the PRESENCE OF GOD, the HOLY GHOST has NOT been allowed to enter…not into the individual, and not into the building.

It is only a matter of time before those same evil spirits that were cast out WILL re-enter.  They will re-enter that individual…and they will re-enter -AND EVENTUALLY INFEST-the WHOLE sanctuary!

THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE LOCAL CHURCHES!!!!

Those who have been in communing with the Holy Ghost has been hearing the same message:  THAT THE HOLY GHOST HAS LEFT THE INSTITUTIONALIZED CHURCH!  Many people are hearing this same message; it is not the voices of two or three crazed, embittered folks who left church because they were angry because someone took their seat…NO!

More and more people are hearing the call of God…to COME OUT of the CHURCH…because HE is no longer there.

ICHABOD has been written across many a church front door…and the scary part is that millions don’t even know it!

So if the HOLY GHOST is NOT in the church, then what spirit is?

THE SPIRIT OF BAAL!

THE HOLY GHOST IS NOT IN THE CHURCHES BECAUSE BAAL HAS TAKEN OVER THE CHURCHES!  Therefore, Baal and all his demons are now running the churches.

As we all know, God will NOT dwell in an unclean temple…not our fleshly temples, these mortal bodies we live in-neither in these temples made with hands.

So, consequently…the churches are now overrun with demons, demons given access by way of the welcoming of the Spirit of Baal.

Baal gets an invitation to these houses when we are disobedient to the things of God.

THAT’S why there are so many demons in the church today…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Many a true prophet has turned into a false (Baal) prophet due to disobedience…

In my book, ‘The Makings of a False Prophet,’ I help ministers and ministers-to-be discern which spirit is operating and driving them to and in ministry.

The book the  ‘New Idolatry,’ it is noted that there is  a barrage of demonic activity that is ON THE RISE in the Christian institutionalized church and the author, Pam Sheppard presents a detailed explanation from an historical perspective.  It is a must read for all discerning Christians. You can get the book by clicking the following links: www.lulu.com/content/8761420 for the softcover and www.lulu.com/content/11927464 for the e-book.

Here is my personal take on what is happening.

Is it really happening?

YOU BETTER BELIEVE IT’S HAPPENING!!!!!

Demons are infesting the church because of many reasons.  One, NO ONE IS REALLY DOING REAL DELIVERANCE IN THESE CHURCHES.  I don’t care what you see going on in your services, at your altars, no matter what type of ‘spirit’ you feel being released in the building.  It is NOT the HOLY Spirit.  How do I know this?  Because afterwards the people AND THE LEADERSHIP will bear fruits meet for REPENTANCE.  They will turn away from their sin, be remorseful for their sin and never look back.

This is NOT happening at the altars of Baal.

Yes, I called them ALTARS OF BAAL!

Baal is the fertility god of crops, fruit and cattle.  FERTILITY god.  Having babies.  Getting married.  Increasing in money, goods, houses, cars, lands.  Getting pregnant. THAT’s what Baal offered its worshippers in the Bible.  

WHAT is being prophesied and sought after MOST in the churches today?

HOUSES, REAL ESTATE, MARRIAGES, BABIES, INCREASE, PROSPERITY….

Baal was worshipped by sacrifices of the first born, as well in music and dance!  In the churches today, music ministry is BIG BUSINESS.  Anybody opening up a ministry today knows that if you want to attract big crowds, you have to have a powerful music ministry.

And now we have this liturgical dancing in the church.  Not to mention the ‘dancing in the spirit’ that is popular in the pentecostal churches for years.

No one stopped to think that all this emphasis on music and dancing and the DE-EMPHASIS and LACK OF FOCUS on the Word of God has been nothing more than a ploy by the spirit of Baal that has crept in the churches…mocking the Spirit of God.  And folks who don’t know the Word eat it up…Sunday after Sunday.

And wonder why they are MORE bound and oppressed by demons 20 years into their so-called salvations than they were when they first ‘got saved?’

So if the god of the institutionalized church is demonic, what do you think the fruit of whatever goes on in these houses of worship will be?

DEMONIC!

THIS is why people can’t get healed, delivered or saved in these churches.  They are worshipping and praying to a false god!

Have any of you ever had a roach problem?  Roach infestation is one of the most humiliating, debilitating experiences one can go through.  How about beg bug infestations?  OH, that’s even worse!

The nights of no sleep, being bit by bed bugs at your most vulnerable moments, when you are asleep?

How about putting down a cup of coffee and then when you pick it back up to drink it, there’s a roach floating in your cup?????  YUCKKKK!!!!!

Well, there are many, MANY people who are living in the these spiritual houses that are INFESTED with DEMONS.  They go back time after time again, to be tormented, humiliated, embarrassed, exploited, and victimized by these spiritual rodents.

Many of you who have had to deal with infestation know that a lot of times the only way to deal with infestation is to MOVE!

I have had to deal with both….and I will tell you.  The ONLY relief I found from dealing with roach and bed bug infestation was to MOVE out of the houses that were infested!  Yes, I spent all kinds of money trying to get rid of the pesky boogers.  I fought bravely and valiantly the good fight to get rid of them.  But they won, time and time again.  It would seem that they would go away…but it was just for a season.  Then they would return…with a VENGEANCE!

This is the decision that most of you who are reading this will have to do.  You think if you stay at your church, that your prayers will somehow get rid of the infestation.  When you fail to realize the longer you stay, the more ground and territory they gain IN and OVER YOU.

The only hope you have to is to GET OUT!  MOVE!  Don’t look back.  Leave the stuff you gained there because that stuff is infested, too.  Start over from scratch.

If you step out on faith, I PROMISE…God will order your steps and will lead you by HIS SPIRIT!!!!!

God Bless you!

Are you called into the ministry, or think you are?  Before you accept the call, I encourage you to get a copy of my new e-book ‘The Makings of a False Prophet.’  It will challenge you in ways nothing else can.

Is the Church Under Spiritual Attack?

Is the Church Under Spiritual Attack?

By Wenona Russ

In the past few years, the church has had to endure a few public scandals that has served to discredit the viability and relevancy of the church for these contemporary times.  As more and more scandals have unfolded, more and more people have called for prayer and fasting (especially during THIS time of the year) for the church. Folks are alarmed because the church-and the ministry, in particular, SEEMS to be under what some called ‘spiritual attack.’

Many quote the Word that says ‘the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church.’  And this is true.

If you ask yourself if the church-the institutionalized church-is under spiritual attack today, I say YES.  YES, it IS up under attack today.  But most of the people do not discern WHO is attacking WHAT.  They perceive that it is the devil and his imps attacking the church.  When I want to present to you that it is NOT the devil!

All the scandals, all the embarrassments, all the sexcapades and financial abuses are all being allowed to surface…BY THE HAND OF GOD!

Yes, that is right!  GOD has allowed these things to hit the church, as most known it.

God allowed the whole Bynum/Weeks fiasco, the Paula White/Benny Hinn thing, Eddie Long, Ted Haggard, Zachary Tims…all of it.

It is hard to hear, but it’s true.  GOD ALLOWED IT.

Why?

Because like what was cited in ‘Come Out of Her, My People,’ by Pam Sheppard, the church is under judgment.  I have been saying this for the last few years, the Lord spoke it to me in a word He gave me two years ago for 2010.  But when folks are dull of hearing-or when they only listen to what they want to hear…God then has to turn around and BACK UP what He said through the mouths of HIS TRUE Ekklesia, the TRUE church.  There IS a FALSE and a TRUE church!

The institutionalized church is demonically influenced, funded, run and maintained by evil spirits and those who embody them.  It is in the best interest of the enemy to feed the masses false doctrine, doctrines of devils, to misinterpret the Word of God, and to disable the ability of the people from hearing from God FOR THEMSELVES!  This is why in the institutionalized church, it is highly discouraged that you just trust that the voice you are hearing, that leading in your Spirit, that unction of the Holy Ghost that won’t let go…it is highly discouraged that you follow it.  Instead, you are encouraged to allow the leaders to become your spiritual ears, your mouth, and your spiritual eyes.  Then the leaders KEEP you that way for 20 years or more…knowing the longer they KEEP you bound to their religious system, KEEP you hooked to their messages, their conferences, their books, their teachings and their doctrines, the longer they are guaranteed your allegiance to their system…and the longer you will invest your money into their systems, too.

The TRUE church-the Ekkleisa-is a remnant, a body of believers who are led by the Spirit of God.  They are sons of God who God raises up in this time to usher folks into the Kingdom of God.  The Ekklesia realizes that this is NOT about a man or a woman, but it is all about Jesus and getting folks saved and delivered.  In the TRUE church, you are encouraged to develop your own relationship with God.  You are TAUGHT how to hear from God for yourself.  You can walk out and be used of God immediately…its all according to YOUR faith.  Not the faith of a leader.  A believer in the Ekklesia is NOT forced to do things for God.  They are LED BY the Spirit of God to do some things…all things.  And because where the SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS there IS LIBERTY, a believer is free to be who he/she was called to be in God.  That may not mean a pulpit preacher, or it may.  In “The Makings of a False Prophet,” I help believers who feel a call of God on their lives discern whether it is from the Lord or not, as well as give pointers on how not to fall into rebellion and disobedience AFTER accepting the call.

So you determine.  Is your church under spiritual attack?  Probably not.  It IS under judgment.  But judgment is not always a bad thing.

In a court of law, when a verdict is found, it is a corrective, judicial matter.  The punishment is given not only to punish the wrong doing, but in hopes that the guilty won’t commit the crime again.  In a best case scenario, the guilty as charged will confess of their wrongdoing.

This is all God is wanting from those caught up in the modern-day church system to do…is to confess their wrongdoing.  To repent.

It’s not an attack.  It’s an act of love that your church is under judgment.

Repent before it’s too late!

“Should I?  Shouldn’t I?  Can I CHANGE the church…thru my prayers?”

By Pam Sheppard

When I left the church in 2004, I did not know that it was a permanent move.  I expected that the Lord would lead me to another church affiliation.  I had my eye on Rev. Paul Morton’s organization, the full gospel Baptist.  It seemed a great choice for me because I had been  ordained and served in a denominational church  very compatible with  the Baptists, yet I was also a Pentecostal in orientation, belief and practice.

So when 3 years passed and I did not have a leading to join another church, I wondered why. It didn’t take long for me to be answered once I sought the Lord in prayer.  In less than a week, a kind of telepathic communication took place to let me know that I was not to join any organized church.

I was spoken to in a kind of parable.  I was asked, “Pam, would you put curtains up at the windows of a condemned building.” I thought of all of the condemned buildings I had seen growing up in the inner city.  I answered in my mind. “No, I would not.”

Then came a kind of speech that went something like this.

“A homeless person will make a home in a condemned building.  To escape the elements of the weather on the outside, he will satisfy himself and “make do” with no heat, no running water, no lights, and he will share his dwelling with its occupants: the rats and the roaches.”

Then I was hit in the face with the next outrageous statement.

“If you try to edify the organized church with seminars and conferences, you will be putting up curtains at the windows of a condemned building.”

Wow.  I was stunned. I had already begun to conduct deliverance seminars with the first one in Bermuda and the second one in Lawrenceville Ga. I was planning the third when this spiritual conversation transpired.    Metaphorically speaking, it was clear to me that the condemned building was a symbol of the entire organized church.  It this “strange conversation” was from the Holy Spirit—then the metaphor clearly suggested that the organized church is condemned, in other words, judged already.

In keeping with this parable of sorts, sheep who attend church regularly are those who are afraid of the outside elements of a dangerous and sinful world—and rightly so. Therefore, it makes sense to run inside of church walls for protection.  Yet in keeping with the symbols, when churchgoers run inside, what they find is no light.  God is light.  In Him there is no darkness at all.  No light–No “God!!!  The “voice” went on to say that the rats were the pastors and church leaders and the roaches were those who sat on the pews.

No running water in the condemned building means no rivers of living water, No Holy Spirit.  No heat.  No fires of the Holy Spirit. This parable was clearly saying that the Holy Spirit has left the organized church.

I didn’t want to believe that I had heard from God about this.  I was pastoring a church that I myself had founded in 1996 and I did not want to close it down.  However, I knew that if this was God speaking to me, I MUST close it down.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Are you a minister or minister-to-be and you believe God has called you OUT of the church?  Are you confused about who is speaking to you, in midst of your busy-ness for God?

In my book below, I warn ministers and ministers-to-be of the dangers of operating in ministry within the institutionalized, organized church.

A FORMER PASTOR WARNS: LEAVE THE CHURCH! Part 3

By Pam Sheppard

I started out for 33 years of life an atheist. In 33 years, I attended church just ONE day in my life.   Once I had a ‘Damascus Road” type of experience with the Lord, I was sold out for Him.  And it was two years—1979–before I attended any church.  I went because I had 3 consecutive dreams of a local pastor, and all 3 dreams urged me to find this man, the late Rev. Lester.  (not his real name.) Not once in more than 25 years did I ever consider that it was NOT God who sent me those dreams.  I didn’t find out until AFTER I had finished my 4th book, “the Fake Jesus:Fallen Angels Among Us.”  How did I find out?  The Lord spoke to me and  quietly  said, “I did not send you those 3 dreams that sent you to that church.”  Simple.

Why did He wait so long to tell me this?  Well, I never asked Him.  I kinda “knew” without asking.  I needed to know the depth of perversion and depravity the organized church system actually is “from inside.”  You might say, “I was a spy.” I was never really a part of the system because the demons in it recognized that I was a spy before I actually knew it myself.  The Lord allowed a messenger of Satan to give me 3 dreams and several confirming signs that I was supposed to be there.  I was a church person for 25 years, in ministry about two years after I  first arrived.  I was in a denomination where several churches in a region are “connected.”  So I got to know about 100 ministers, about 10 percent of them as close regional associates.

Well, I knew it was depraved from the beginning.  My first pastor was a closet homosexual who also practiced a Caribbean form of witchcraft called “obeah.” He was one of the first to die of AIDS in the early 80’s.  Most of the ministerial elders that I had to submit my ministry to were depraved.  Thieves, drug abusers, fornicators, homosexuals, child abusers, you name it, undercover and sometimes openly, they did it.

I stayed as long as I did because the religious demon assigned to me played  a convincing game to prove that  God had me in the system to cause the system to repent.  So I was on my knees, sobbing, wailing and travailing for 25 years.  When things only got worst, commonsense should have told me, “Hey Pam, Don’t you “get it?” God is not answering your prayers in this matter. Why can’t you ‘figure it out?’ If God has not answered your prayers for repentance for 25 years, perhaps it is because “the time of repentance is over.  It just ain’t goin to happen, Gurl!!! Get up off your knees!”

I was pretty comfortable in the denomination in 2003.  I had started my own church and I kept my self separated from the religious politics, and the Bishop did not particularly care WHAT I was doing.  He treated me like I didn’t exist, and that worked well for me.  Then one day, the Lord spoke to me in a dream.  He showed me that “it was time to go.” He said “but let them PUT you out.”  Since I was not in any kind of trouble with the upper echelon, it seemed implausible that they would put me out.  Well 9 months from the dream, my name was removed from the denominations rolls.

Once out, I devoted myself to my online ministry which had begun in 2002 and to the church that I had founded in 1996. From 2004-2007, I waited for the Lord to send me to a different denomination, with my eyes on Full Gospel, non denominational groups.  It didn’t happen.  Then in 2007,  the Holy Ghost spoke again.  He compared the organized church to an inner city condemned building.  In short, He said “I’ve judged it already and I am no longer there.”

I said to myself “this COULD be the devil. It was too incredulous for me to believe that the Holy Ghost was not in the church.  I was in a state of shock.   So I tried the spirits through the study of church history for one year.  After that year, I knew I had heard from the Holy Ghost.  He is NOT there.

Since God is not there, no point in ME being there either!

“Leave the church: A Historical Perspective of “the Great Falling Away.”

By Pam Sheppard

Once I heard in a supernatural way that the organized church had already been judged, I decided to try the spirits to see if they be of “God by studying church history.  History was not one of my favorite subjects, but my hypothesis was that if the church had already been judged, history would reveal the truth.

I began with the premise that we are in the generation of the 7th church age.  In the first 3 chapters of the book of Revelation, the Lord spoke to each church age.  I was able to pinpoint and find in the history books each church age:  Ephesus as the first age of those who lived in the generation of the Lord’s crucifixion, resurrection and after the ascension.  The persecuted church at Smryna lined up and overlapped the first age, under cruel Roman domination, with the saints being crucified upside down, beheaded, and stoned to death.

 With the rise of the Roman Emperor, Constantine, the organized church was established with the compromising church at Pergamos, which eventually  became the Catholic Church.  History revealed that the churches at Thyatira and Sardis are tao phases of Catholic Domination that spans several centuries until Martin Luther and the Protestant Reformation of the 1500′s. Protestantism was the Lord’s favored church, from 1500 to 1900 when it too became as corrupted as the Catholic Church.

The age of Laodicea is the LAST church age, and we are living in it.  It consists of an idolatrous, charismatic witchcraft Catholic AND Protestant church.  While the Catholics have perverted the gospel of Jesus Christ with the deification of Mary and the worship of various saints, Protestantism is equally perverse. By studying church history, it became clear to me that the 7th and last age of Laodicea is a fulfillment of the Apostle’s Paul’s predictions that in the last days, there would be a great “falling away.” Paul warned the Galatians that all who add to or detract from the gospel of Jesus Christ would be cursed.  He also warned that some would depart from the faith because they listened to seducing spirits teach doctrines of devils. I didn’t have to be a rocket scientist to discern that there are far too many doctrines of devils for me to even try to count today.

However, the two most powerful ones—more powerful than the prosperity gospel–is the easy believism or the “I accept Jesus into my heart” gospel and the speaking in other tongues.

The “I accept Jesus” practice was first started by Charles Finney.  Born in 1792, Finney is a hero of Billy Graham and many other well-known evangelists of today.  In no uncertain terms, Finney preached that man can save himself by making a conscious decision to simply “cooperate with God.”  Therefore, Finney is the founding father of practically ALL of Protestantism, both traditional and emergent churches, denominational and charismatic churches who all teach an “I accept Jesus” gospel.

Add to the “I accept Jesus” crowd, those who abide by the Pentecostal teaching that the evidence of salvation is that you speak in tongues, and you have the other half of “the great falling away.” These two false doctrines combined, have caused countless seekers to “fall away.”  To fall away is not necessarily to physically depart.  For most of those who have already joined the ranks of the great falling away attend some church every Sunday morning.

Regarding tongues, it is a doorway for demons to enter human flesh.  Since the tongue talker allows his or her mind to enter into passivity while uttering, speaking in tongues causes Christians to unknowingly enter into an altered state of consciousness.  Under such circumstances, spirit entities are provided an opportunity to torment, oppress and possess.

Satan has had an agenda to infiltrate and control the organized visible church since the days that the Emperor Constantine organized it, in 313 AD.  He has been working for quite a few centuries. His mission was accomplished in the 20th century.

For these reasons, I warn: Leave the Church.  God is not there.

An Invasion of Body Snatchers

                 A “walk in” is actually a fallen angel who is said to enter the body of someone who went through a near-death experience and was still alive when the demon moved their spirit aside and “took over” both the body and the soul during or after resuscitation.

In other words, as the spirit of an accident victim or of a terminally sick person loses the will to live on an operating table and begins to vacate the body, the demon steps in and takes over the dying just moments before their appointment with death. If this is true, with all of the “near death experiences” that have been reported in our lifetime who have been resuscitated, the foundation of a global build-up of true demon possession is already laid. In fact, it is not surprising that literally every “near death survivor” has “come back to life” preaching the false doctrine of universal love and universal religion with no mention of sin, repentance and the cross of Calvary.

An Excerpt from “the fake Jesus: Fallen Angels Among Us.”(soft cover)

Consequently, Satan can manipulate earth events with ‘hands-on’ experience through the embodiment of some of his demonic troops. This would also fit the description, in the Book of Revelation (e.g., Rev.9:1-12), of the demon infested conditions on earth prior to the return of the Lord Jesus Christ at the end of the Age — not to mention those in the time of Noah (Gen.6:1-6; cf. Mt.24:37).The concept of “walk ins” may also be connected to dissociative identity disorder (DID) and other mental health conditions where a very fearful, traumatic event has caused a person to “flee out of body” in order to cope with horrendous circumstances. The flight of the human spirit in moments of great and sudden terror and fear may very well provide yet another doorway for the embodiment of a discarnate demon. Rape, horrendous accidents, brutalities, torture, horrors of war, to name a few.

So what happens to the spirit of the one who has lost the will to live at his or her death-bed once the “walk-in” WALKED IN???? Pastor Pam’s occult experience as a former psychic medium may provide a clue. Before the Holy Spirit rescued her and led her to the cross, she experienced a supernatural phenomena a handful of times in the early 70’s that can only be understood through our recent research on the so-called “embodiment” of fallen concerning the “walk-ins.” Described in  three of her  6 books, the best description is in “Recovery In Christ”

“I did not think a thought or take an action without consulting my spirit guides. As time passed, the style of their communication went from Ouija Board, to spiritual writing with a pen or pencil,(channelling), to their coming into my body for about 5 minutes and speaking through my mouth by taking complete control over my larynx.”I remember the first time that I was “taken over” or possessed by them. I did not go into a trance. I was fully conscious, but also totally out of control. One day, after an exhaustive session of spiritual writing, I began to feel dizzy and a little weak. There was a tugging feeling in my throat. Suddenly, my spirit vacated my body and stood on the opposite side of the room, listening to a conversation that others were having about me. As I stood outside of myself, I can remember thinking, “what in the world is going on here! Let me back into my body.” (pg. 26)

So since the captive to a “walk-in” has not actually died, his or her spirit is lingering on the outside. Weakened for a particular length of time, due to passivity brought about by a death wish, the captive can only return to his or her body when released by “the walk in.” Given an awareness of supernatural evil, whether or not we accept the ‘Walk-Ins’ theory — it is evident that extraordinary signs are taking place. If the rulers of the darkness of this world are now appearing in a physical body, it would appear to give credence to the fact that the aims of the Ascended Masters are being implemented on the earth today. The goal? A Universal Church that denies the cross, desensitizes sin and the need of the Savior, preaches selfhood and “breakthrough” , and a universal world order as it lifts up what the occultists refer to as “the Christ Consciousness”— a bunch of mumbo jumbo.

So as in the days of Noah, spiritual wickedness in the heavenlies has come to earth. I suspect that  we may  already be entertaining “fallen” angels , unaware. So be ye also ready not to be deceived when folk come to you with “come see Jesus in the flesh over here or come see an angel in the flesh over there.”We hope that this article is a wake up call to the elect because there are numerous signs to suggest that the ascended masters have been secretly working within the organized church since around 1830. The groundbreaking book, the Fake Jesus  (ebook link)  traces how it all began in order to assess where we stand today.

PROTESTANT ERRORS

(An Excerpt from the Fake Jesus: Fallen Angels Among Us)

 PROTESTANTISM           

Protestants have contended that only the Catholic Church is a part of the Harlot because of the deification of Mary, the priesthood and the worship of saints. They believe that these practices hinder the salvation of Catholics.  Yet, what of Protestantism?    Are souls being saved among the denominations and the non-denominations of the Protestant faith today?  I am finding that even the best churches are hazardous, primarily because subtle deception is actually held in place by the sincerity and the commitment of its leadership. To be sincerely wrong can be almost as deadly as being obviously deceived or purposefully deceptive. 

From my own vantage point from a deliverance perspective,I have been put in contact with several    demonized Catholics AND Protestants around the country and even the world. As such, there is one major sign that suggests that the church age may be coming to a close.  I am willing to bet that some of you are guessing that the most outstanding sign of the demise of the Protestant church is either dying churches, sinning preachers, the prosperity gospel or even false prophets. These are certainly signs that “Satan has a seat”. But   the most outstanding sign  that Satan may be standing behind the pulpits is one of his cosmic beings,  Jesus Sananda Immanuel.

Consider this. The main reason why the church was commissioned in the first
place was to preach a gospel that the Holy Spirit could use to draw
the elect to the cross of  Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Yet for 200 years or more, the gospel has been tainted with an insidious error that no one seems to be able to correct and most ministers are totally unaware of it. In a nutshell, the main error is that the people are being taught
worldwide   that “God will save them once they make   a decision to choose Jesus Christ of Nazareth.—ie.that the ability to be saved lies in man’s hands.”
 e-book www.lulu.com/content/12044954
soft cover www.lulu.com/content/8761420

Such a teaching borders on blasphemy because if man is saved by “accepting
Jesus,” then the decision is a work of man and not a gift from God
according to grace, “lest any man should boast and declare “I am
saved because I ACCEPTED JESUS! Whether denominational or
non-denominational, pentecostal or Charismatic, practically the entire
Protestant church upholds the “free will” decision approach
to salvation.

 Do you yourself believe that you can or could be saved anytime that YOU wanted to? Do you believe that you are NOW saved simply because you responded to an altar call and/ or you repeated a sinner’s prayer where you “asked Jesus to come into your heart?” If you can answer in the affirmative, then you have been deceived and therein, defiled! You are in jeopardy on judgment
day when the Lord looks at you and declares,”I NEVER KNEW YOU!!”

             Alarmingly,what is being preached in practically ALL of the
Protestant churches is that through a personal decision–the volition and choice of human will—the lost  can ACCEPT Christ to be saved. This is a tenet that has so strongly grieved the Holy Ghost, that it is reasonable to wonder if
He has left Protestantism entirely. Started by a preacher called Charles Finney about 200 years ago, this foundational error has pervasively spread like yeast throughout every corner of the Protestant church. Even the most renowned evangelist of our time, Billy Graham has also preached the ” make a decision”doctrine of salvation to millions upon millions.

Moreover, the church practices of the invitation to Christian discipleship
through an altar call and the repeating of “the sinner’s prayer” are the main   anchors that hold the foundation of the “free will method” in place in its
attempt to convince the lost that they must be saved by “choosing
Christ” before it is too late. Some will even preach the doctrine of hell
as a scare tactic to browbeat a “decision for Christ.” The essential root of the problem is that when a person sits in church, in a huge stadium, watches a TV evangelist, or even “is led to Christ” by another professing Christian, the lost are being taught that they can ACCEPTJesus into their own hearts and salvation is automatically theirs for the asking.

Interestingly enough, no where in the word of God is it written that “we
accept Christ into our hearts.” Paul wrote to the Romans that we
“believe in our hearts that Christ was raised from the dead.”
However, Paul did not write that we must “accept Jesus into our hearts.”
When we are born again, Jesus does not “enter our hearts.” How can He
enter our hearts when He is at the right hand of the Father??? This is why the
Lord told His disciples that it was better for them that He went away so that the Holy Ghost would come. The Holy Ghost is that part of the godhead who enters our spirits, causing us to become “temples of God.” The heart and the spirit are two distinctively different entities in man. Similarly, like the words “rapture” and “purgatory”,the phrase “accept Jesus”is yet another religious euphemism, not backed up by scripture.

Furthermore, the message of “I accepted Christ” is so preposterous
that it is an offense to the triune Godhead. We DO NOT ACCEPT CHRIST. NO
ONE CAN BE SAVED UNLESS GOD HIMSELF HAS ALREADY MADE THE CHOICE!!!! The Father and the Son have already done the choosing or the
electing before the beginning of recorded time. When the sinner
actually hears the call, he simply responds. Even when a sinner cries out
for Jesus, it may appear to be an act of his own free will, yet the Lord said
that no man can come to Him unless the Father which sent Him draws
them. (John 6:44)

Subsequently, even when a sinner begs the Lord for mercy to save
him, he does so because he has been drawn to the cross by the Holy
Ghost. Therefore, even our repentance is not human but
godly. Godly sorrow is a repentance for sin that has been divinely
given to the sinner to cause him to repent, to sorrow over the Lord’s sacrifice.
At the cross, a sinner’s spirit is washed, cleansed and forgiven by the blood
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

It is important to state here that nothing stops God, not even the church.When the Lord is ready for the elect, He calls them. If they are sitting on a church pew, He can still reach them, regardless of what they have been listening to. The problem is that many of the elect who are in church believe that they are already saved but they are not. The Father plans to save them. Nevertheless, for the Holy Ghost to draw them to a genuine salvation experience, the strong man must be bound with the light of truth. In this instance, the “strong man” is the religious demon, aka,the Fake Jesus. Jesus Sananda Immanuel.

 


"Leave the Church" Proclaims One Minister Who Can Stand Alone!

LEAVE THE CHURCH, By Pam Sheppard

For those who have been closely reading my posts, it is time for you to really know”where I’m  comin from”. Here is my bottom line, where the rubber meets the road.   Other than for preparing the last days church for the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, I have no personal motive. In fact,  I am a  68-year-old retiree from public life.  A retiree from NYS government,  I am  also done with   starting a church.  Therefore, I am not looking for a sheepfold to follow me or anyone to “rule over.”

To get the message of “what time it is to churchfolk”  requires money. I pay to publish, so I don’t make any personal money off of my 6 books. Any one who cannot afford to pay $20 for a book need only let me know and you will be  sent an e-book at no charge. What I use to spread the message of “come out of Her, God’s people,”  is my   own inheritance and my  own savings.

 When I provide a counseling or training  service, I set a fee.The fees I set are reported to IRS. In spite of them, I have never earned a profit.   I do not charge for deliverance, healing, prayer or any of God’s graces.  Nor do I ask anyone for donations..  Why not, you ask? Because those who give money control those who receive it. I will not put myself in a position to be controlled by  ANYONE!

 Nor am I looking for notoriety as I actually prefer to remain “under the radar.” Recently, someone was singing my praises–called me an end time prophet of God with the message of the hour.  After 2 months of turning folk off by  proclaiming my “qualifications and my message” this former associate’s  last words to me were “I no longer endorse you.” 

 I laughed to myself. She does not know that I don’t need anyone to either endorse or  “sell me.” Nor  will I try to justify myself to anyone.  I perceive no benefit to me or my message in any attempt on my part to prove that I am reputable. It is a waste of time as no one can prove that they are not corrupt in  times such as these.

 My word to you is this. If you seek me for counseling, training or ministry, you will have to find out about me in your own prayer closet. What I am willing to share about myself is something that  I can prove.Here is what I can prove.

  I owe nothing to NOBODY and I expect NOTHING from NOBODY!

You see,  I am free to do all things and free to do nothing. Only in the last seven years have I been this free.  I was restrained for 25 years from offending those who paid my  secular salary and for 25 years, I had to please  the bishops under whom I serve as an ordained minister..  Those days are over for the rest of my life. Like the Lord Jesus, I too can  declare that neither man nor the  devil has a place in me.

Besides a secular career in state govt  where I earned a great pension and excellent  health benefits, beside being  in private practice as a therapist once I retired  at the age of 53 in 1997,  I have also been a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ for 30 years.   Since I was gainfully employed in the world while simultaneously pastoring,  none of my personal  income has   ever been derived or accumulated from Christian  ministry.  When I received a salary from any of 3  different churches that I pastored, I gave it back to them double-fold.   I even founded my own church in 1996, which I closed in 2009. 

 Today, I do not attend church, at all. 

I personally believe that church is a dangerous place to be, particularly for the sincere followers of Jesus Christ of Nazareth–the elect of God.  I need to make it plain that only the elect of God is in  real danger, and not those who simply attend church because they believe that it is the right thing to do.  The “un-chosen” in church are not Satan’s target but only those who belong to Jesus Christ.

In order to understand my position, you need to know that  I am not coming
from “whether or not there  are good churches or bad churches.”  Certainly, there are both, and that has been the case for centuries.  In our time, there  are some wonderful, good people and excellent programs operating in plenty of  churches.
However, this is the power of man. This is the power of human flesh.  Human  beings  can do some good and wonderful things,without God.  For example, man has proven that he can build a rocket and walk on the moon.  Man conceived the very computers that we all communicate on, with a wealth of information at our finger tips.  This is”a good thing.”    Likewise, just  because a church is “good,” doesn’t mean that “God is there.”

When I was led out of the denomination I served in 2004, I did not know my departure from the organized church system was completely over.  The Lord told me to come out, and I obeyed, believing that He planned to send me to a different church affiliation.  In fact, I waited for 3 years until the Lord spoke to me. In this regard, I had a handful of  supernatural experiences AFTER I was led out of the organized church.  Powerful and amazing, to say the least.

Visions, dreams and audible voices such as I have experienced since 2007  come from either God or the devil. There is no in between. In fact, my soul is not imaginative enough to have conceived what I have heard in the spirit. Now if I am wrong,—-if I heard from the devil— I will STILL go to heaven because my born again experience had nothing at all to do with the organized church. I was not saved in church.Church added nothing to my salvation but error and deception.

 So if I am wrong, I have nothing to lose.If I am mistaken, God knows the intent of my heart.  I don’t have any axes to grind. There is no bitterness in my heart against churchfolk or the system. I can certainly  admit to errors in discernment  and I will publicly apologize if I am proven to be in error.  

 However, if I am right, and you continue to “go to church,” then you, dear reader, HAVE A LOT TO LOSE.

Leave Church: Why? Part 2

22 Tuesday Nov 2011

As I pointed out in Part 1, when I was led out of a denomination as an active pastor, I expected to be sent to another church affiliation.  So I waited.  I waited 3 years when I heard a voice say to me that “He had already judged the church and that the Holy Ghost war not there any longer. In fact, I was also informed that the Holy Ghost had left the church BEFORE I ARRIVED IN 1979!

That was another major shock.  I did not want to believe that who I had heard from was the Lord. So I began with the premise that I had heard from the devil.  The choice was easy.  Either God or the devil.It was definitely not my own soul who  spoke to me.You see,   I had become addicted to church and I did not want to go through a sudden, un-planned detox.  I had also become habituated to preaching and pastoring a congregation.  so a cold turkey withdrawal from the organized church system was too much, even for a vivid imagination like mine to conceive.

So to try the spirits to see if they be of God, I decided to study church history. I figured if the Holy Ghost had left the church, signs would be evident somewhere in 2000 years of church history. Then something happened that added to my investigation.  As I watched a video clip of a worship service led by evangelist Cindy Trimm, as hundreds fell slain like ocean waves, Trimm proclaimed “I thank you Father, that the spirit of Ashtar has fallen upon the people.”

Ashtar? Who is Ashtar?  He sounded vaguely familiar to me  from the old testament. There was a god, a fallen angel I remembered  named Ashtaroth. So I began to google and to google some more and I found the being who calls himself “Ashtar” to new age occultists. I learned that Ashtar reports to yet another fallen angel who is known as Jesus Sananda Immanuel.  I continued to study and I discovered that Sananda reports to a being called Maitreya. Maitreya’s rhetoric as channeled through various psychic mediums  read a lot like the Anti-Christ.

My studies and notes  turned into 220 pages, the book  “the Fake Jesus:Fallen Angels Among Us.” ( ebook www.lulu.com/content/12044954  and the soft cover www.lulu.com/content/2716532)  In a nut shell, besides studying church history, I reviewed the writings communicated to various occult channels via fallen angels.I tried the spirits for ONE whole year. Once the project was completed, I came to an un-deniable conclusion.  II had heard from the Lord.  The organized church is in the same condition as a boarded up, inner city condemned building. The Holy Ghost is NOT there

.
Satan began to progressively establish a seat within church divisions, sects and organization since the organization of the church in the third century.If you are born again and you still attend church, the Holy Ghost will speak to you.  He may use a written blog or a book, a dream, whatever.  He may use hypocrites and haters to run you out.  If you are in the church and you have had a false conversion, if you are one of the elect, the enemy is waving a license to keep you in God’s face.  The fake Jesus stands on his rights because YOU invited him to come into you  when you repeated a sinner’s prayer, “accepted” Jesus and invited him into your heart. Sananda is the one you are worshiping.  He did not lie to his occult followers when he told them that he is in control of the organized Christian Church.

I heard from God.  That is enough to keep me out of the organized church.

 Perhaps my testimony is not enough for YOU.  That is okay.  I am assured if you belong to Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Holy Spirit will speak to you and lead you out. You may have to stand alone as I stand. Believe me, Beloved. It is not so bad on my side or from  my viewpoint. If I am wrong, He will correct me.  This is my faith.  I stand on it.

Should You Leave Church? How Will You know?

My personal testimony of how I came to leave  the church is in the first chapters of “Come Out of Her, God’s People”. www.lulu.com/content/10430823 and www.lulu.com/content/7285131.

 In a nutshell, the Holy Spirit will inform you when it is time for you to leave church.  In fact, if it were not for Him, I would still be there.  When the Holy Spirit led me out of church, I was pastoring a work that I had founded myself.  So it had never crossed my mind to completely leave the church. For a minister of the gospel to leave church  after 25 years of faithful service sounded like a preposterous idea to me–absolutely inconceivable.  I was settled and comfortable in the denomination, in spite of the fact that I had never really been embraced with open arms. I had the best of both worlds: spiritual covering from a well-respected denomination that  left me to my own devices. So I had almost complete independence to bring forth pentecostal, word of faith teachings in a denominational setting.

So what happened?  First of all, I had a dream. A very clear, significant dream where the Lord actually spoke to me.  I wanted to believe it was the devil because I didn’t like what I heard and saw in the spirit.  I was called by name. the Spirit said “Pam, I cannot use you in this place. You are a light hidden under a bed.  You MUST leave.  But let them PUT you out!”

Put ME out?  This MUST be the devil, I thought to myself.  They can’t put me out.  I have been a faithful servant in this denomination for 25 years.!!!!

Well, I did not have long to wait. I was at the Y, doing my  afternoon lap swim  when my pregnant daughter came waddling in and screaming “they are after you, Ma! The denomination is investigating you.” I got out  of the pool, sat on its side and listened to my daughter’s emotional report.  She had run into the proverbial grapevine.  Yet this was not gossip.  It was true. The dream was confirmed in less than a week. The denomination was about to PUT ME OUT.

It took 9 months.  I had the dream in September 2003 and the denomination removed my name from its rolls in June 2004.It was June 25th, 2004. I had a dream that morning. I saw my head under the chopping block. I was beheaded. It came to me that I have the same ministry as John the Baptist: Preach repentance and prepare the way for the Lords SECOND coming.

Anyway, I still had my church that I had founded,  The denomination  had no authority or power to close it.  So I continued leading my church, expecting the Lord to send me to another church affiliation. Various sects and word of faith churches made some offers. However,  it was quite clear to me that all they wanted was my money and my attendance at their various meetings and conferences to obtain MORE money through conference fees and donations taxed my church.  We were small and poor. I could not rob my own congregation to send their  hard-earned dollars to an aloof, uncaring mega preacher, just to pay to sit on the front row of some conference.

So I waited 3 years. This time my sign  was more powerful than a dream.  I was wide awake.  I heard a voice in my head ask me this question, “Pam. would you put curtains up at the windows of a condemned building?”  I looked around to see if someone was there,  but I was alone.  I answered in my head “no.’  The voice continued.He talked for what seemed a long time.  Then He said “Pam. You are planning to travel around the world to conduct deliverance training seminars in any church that will open its doors to you.” I answered, “Yes.!”  By that time, I had been to a church in Lawrenceville Ga and one in Bermuda.

The voice then said “Well. Pam. conducting seminars in any church is like putting up curtains at the windows of a condemned building, I have already judged HER.”

TO BE CONTINUED.

 

 

 

 

 

Meaning of Hypocrite from a Christian Perspective by Minister Kellie

21 Monday Nov 2011

The meaning of a hypocrite is one who does not love you with the pure love of the Lord Jesus Christ.  They are not saved.  Why? Because we know that we have passed from death to life because WE LOVE THE BRETHREN! The haters in your life may come and go. Sometimes they remain, and you become the object of their eternally seething hatred.

My friend and Christian mentor,  Pam Sheppard, wrote an eye-opening book called “Come Out of Her, God’s People. In an astounding personal memoire, Pam explains how she  was a root in dry ground as an ordained minister amongst hypocrites.In fact, Pam recollects  about high-ranking hypocrites she battled with, when  she was in ministry for 25 years in a well-known denomination. . Her surprising revelations inspired me to pen this article.

e-book www.lulu.com/content/10430823 softcover www.lulu.com/content/7285151

The hypocrite  in church is just as lethal as any hater anywhere. Haters were around since the Garden of Eden Who was Cain, but a hater who killed his own brother out of jealousy. Who was Saul, but a hater who spent his time trying to kill David who would be King.

Who were Joseph’s brothers, but a family of haters, who didn’t want to see Joseph do better than them. Who was the prodigal son’s brother, but a hater who got angry because his long-lost brother was favored with a feast.  And look at our precious Lord, Jesus Christ of Nazareth and how a mob of Jewish haters roared ” crucify him “.

Church is often a hotbed of opportunity for a hypocrite.. A hypocrite  in church can deftly hide behind a bible and a prayer. It’s easy for the hater in church, haters in the pews, usually have a long shelf life. Haters thrive in church because too many believers, have a unscriptural view of what it means to be a peace maker. Therefore ” the hater ” has a field day in church, and their covert camouflaged combativeness, and undercover hateful behaviors go unchecked.

When you were a newbie in church, it took you a while to recognize ” the hypocrites “. You thought your mind was playing tricks on you. You wondered how it could be possible that Sister Shirley or Brother Mark could have spread the rumor about you having a crush on the choir director’s husband. You wondered who told the prayer minister, that they thought they saw you coming out of a bar. Could it really have been  smiling church Sister Sarah, who was always calling you to talk about the Lord?

 

What’s wrong with the church hypocrite?  Sadly, I must report that the church hypocrite  is unwashed and not saved. The church hypocrite , who should be pleased as punch because you’ve been delivered, is not pleased. The church hypocrite  hates hearing your testimony.  The church hater doesn’t even want to see you get a crust of bread. And don’t let the Lord call you out from among them. If you are in business for yourself,as I am— the hypocrites will try to cause you to go bankrupt.

As it was in the evil days of Noah so it is now in the organized church.

Watchman Nee and Boldness

Watchman Nee and Boldness

If a prophet of God  is  a bone of contention to you, and you find it difficult to handle what the Lord has called him or  her out to do,  I have to ask you if it’s possible, that perhaps you can’t handle the truth. Sometimes pridefulness prompts a person to prefer a mousey type, who timidly presents truth. This should not be the case, for the Lord God calls us to boldness. Boldness and forthrightness, are marks of a true prophet. Even so, the prophets of the Bible were neither mousey or timid. The prophets of the Bible were not popular, or well liked anyway. Why? One reason is because some find it hard to handle God’s truths .Here is a quote from Watchman Nee.

 Unless God’s child sincerely adhere’s to all the truth of God, it becomes very rough for him to accept this kind of painful humiliating truth…
Should the child of God desire freedom, his folly must be removed. In other words, he must know truth. He needs to appreciate the real nature of affairs. Satanic lies bind, but God’s truth unshackles. Naturally the knowledge of God is going to be costly, for it will shatter the vain glory one has assumed due to past experiences. He looks upon his self as far more advanced than others, as being spiritual and infallible.
How hard hit he will be if he confesses the possibility of his being invaded. Unless God’s child sincerely adheres to all the truth of God, it becomes very rough for him to accept this kind of painful and humiliating truth. One encounters no difficulty in accepting that truth which is agreeable; but it is not easy at all to take in truth which blasts one’s ego…the acceptance of truth is the first step to salvation.
                                                                                                                                                                     (Nee p.122, 1968)
I am a bold person by nature.  To walk in the boldness of the Lord, I had to put a lid upon my  natural persuasion.  In “Come Out of Her, God’s People,” you will find these words I wrote  about myself, concerning how I was born for “such a time as this!”
There is another reason to consider why the Lord Jesus Christ chose me to play such a controversial role in the confrontation of hypocrisy and false doctrine that abounds in the organized church in this day and time.  I believe that my soul was prepared for the part by the way I came into the world.
An only child, I learned early on how to stand alone. Furthermore, I believe that independence, boldness, and a love for truth was implanted in my soul in my mother’s womb and nurtured by my early childhood circumstances and environment. ….. I was an enigma to most adults. Literate and articulate when I was about 3 years old, my Barbadian grandmother, the late  Irene Ford, often found it necessary to explain my words and my behavior to people. 
“Pam be not fresh. Her just talk reeeeal plain cause dey be no fear in she.  Don’t mind she, now! When her be lookin in ya eye so straight and speak  all she mind, da reason be, me no speak no baby talk ta she.”

The Book of Revelations: Chapter 18:4

An Excerpt from “Come Out of Her, God’s People.” by Pam Sheppard

Whether you are ready to stop going to church or not, especially if you consider yourself “a word person,” than let the words of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, speak to you out of Revelation Chapter 18 verse 4. In this scripture,   the Lord Himself declared “Come Out of Her, My People.”
I challenge the elect   to ask themselves   3 simple questions concerning the Lord’s warning in the Book of Revelations, as follows:

1.Where are “God’s People?”

Could the scriptures be referring to a particular nation or country? No. God’s people are in every nation. Even though America claims to be a Christian, people of diverse persuasions can agree on this one point, namely, that America is really NOT a Christian nation. Let’s face it.The universal place where God’s people assemble for worship is “in the organized church.” It’s the only place that makes sense. In this day and time, without a passport and finances, who can walk out of their native country very easily and re-locate elsewhere? In truth, mass exodus from anywhere today is practically impossible. Jesus would not command us to do the impossible. However, anywhere in the world, we can come out of the organized church by simply no longer attending.

2.What generation of God’s people is Jesus speaking to?

Most of the book of Revelation is about the end of the church age. If the 7 churches
in the book of Revelation represent chronological symbols of church ages
throughout history, than Jesus is talking to the final generation, the church
at Laodicea. It’s a no-brainer that no other church era on earth could top
our own generation in a claim to be “rich and in need of nothing.” (Revelation
3:17)

3.Are we at the end of the church age?

 For all intents and purposes, if we are the church at Laodicea, where those who preach the prosperity gospel actually DO brag on how rich they are, spiritual blindness is clearly and undeniably rampant. When churchgoers haven’t a clue as to the meaning of repentance, rebirth and the resurrection and therein believe that they are saved but they are not, what could be a stronger sign that “we are near or even at the end of the
church age?

 So if you answer in the affirmative to all 3 questions, then Jesus has spoken to YOU! He is warning you at this very moment to come out of the organized church,
and if you don’t, you are going to receive of her plagues.

You don’t have to be a bible scholar, a prophet or even a rocket scientist to
answer these 3 questions. Once you have your answer, then if you are a
true believer in Jesus Christ, you will know, without a shadow of a doubt that
you must “come out of Her.”

In a nutshell, ONE primary reason stands out above all others that should
be enough for the elect to decide to come out of Her. It’s because
fallen angels–religious devils–have infiltrated the entire church system. Certainly, they have no part in the true Body of Christ because the real “church” is not a building made with hands. However,   through compromise and
doctrinal distortions of all kinds, there is an invisible, imposter god
undergirding every edifice, regardless of how sincere and faithful the
leadership. Consequently, if you are unknowingly worshiping an imposter,
than you are unknowingly practicing idolatry and breaking the 10
Commandments. The punishment for idolatry is a release of the curses
or “the plagues.” (Deuteronomy 28)

When judgment falls, churchgoers will not be able to find the secret place of the Most High, nor abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Paul warned the Corinthians that they should “flee fornication.” In the spirit, fornication is idolatry. In the words of Klein and Spears in their book “Devils and Demons,” these co-authors offer the elect some
sober and sound advice:

“We need to run, not walk—-as fast as we can and as far away as we can get—from any devils and demons that masquerade as our great God of the Universe.”

Generational Curses: Are They Real?

Do you believe that  curses have been  passed on to you  from your ancestors, as far back as four generations?  If this is what you believe, then you are in denial of the scripture that assures  you  that  those who are in Christ have been delivered from all the power of darkness and the wicked one cannot touch us. (Col. 1:12; 1 John 5:18). No curse can go through the cross of Christ and have dominion over those who are in Christ. We are not under a curse once we have come through the cross. Every spiritual blessing is
for us who are in Christ Jesus (Eph. 1:3). Anyone that insists they are cursed needs to know who they are in Christ, and maybe who Christ is as the Spirit of adoption  (Rom.8:15).  

 

What I have found is that those who have been involved in deliverance ministries have actually brought a curse upon themselves by accepting a  specific generational curse as a fact. As a result, their belief in this teaching actually creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that the worker and the captive actually bring to pass together.As Paul warned the Galatians, any one who adds to or detracts from the gospel of Jesus Christ will become CURSED. Ironically, the generational curses teaching   adds to and detracts from the gospel of Jesus Christ, particularly the  power of the cross. This teaching  promotes a law  that hinders grace, and it is by  grace that we are set free from the curse of the law.  Consequently, those who uphold the   “generational curses” doctrine which states  that Satan and his demons create curses for Christians because of ones ancestors, actually opens the door to a curse.
Taken a step further,  this  false teaching  actually  creates the fear that put those who believe in it in even  more bondage than what they may originally have sustained! We as believers “have not received a spirit of fear but power, love and a sound mind.” If you believe this teaching, you are risking the soundness of your mental state, bringing on further anxiety and stress that may “cause you to faint” when you enter into spiritual battle against demons.

Therefore, if you stand in spiritual warfare  with a deliverance worker against a self-proclaimed curse that was never there in the first place, you forfeit the grace that is needed to set you free. This teaching is particularly dangerous because it implies that Jesus didn’t break the curse on the cross. As such,  it stands to reason that if
you believe that you are in bondage to a generational curse, then you must not be saved.

If you are not saved then you are STILL under the power of darkness and Jesus did not remove your sins and His blood has not cleansed you from sin.  Therefore, you have NOT been translated out of darkness and the spiritual weapons of Ephesians 6 will not work for you, if you are in bondage to a generational curse.

So what does the devil get out of this false teaching?  He gets those who teach it and those who believe it to lose grace and to weaken their faith.  


Consider this.  There is a difference between a curse and a plague.  By the cross, Jesus delivers us from a curse because when we become born again, old things become new and the past is washed in the precious blood of the Lamb, which includes any sins that your ancestors may have committed that could possibly affect YOU.  A curse is specific in that it
is an appeal to a supernatural power for harm to come to specific people,
places and things.  A plague is “different.”

 A plague is much more general.  It’s like a tornado.  When it hits NO ONE is spared from its effects and even the innocent who are simply in the wrong place at the time of the tornado.  The innocent get swept up with the guilty.

Jesus warned the elect of God to “come out of Her, lest ye be partakers of HER sins and receive of HER plagues.”  If He is referring to the organized church, (and I believe that He is) then the innocent will be partakers of the plagues along with the guilty.  A plague is a widespread affliction, a sudden destructive influx or an outbreak.  It can also be persistent, but it is also infectious–in the spirit, a plague can be compared to a highly infectious disease like the bubonic plague.  Those who hear the warning and continue to remain in a defiled place are subject to a plague, and the elect of God are not exempt from it.

In “Come Out of Her, God’s People you will find these words:

‘There are many who practice a professing Christian religion who live under a curse because they have either added to or taken away from the gospel of Jesus Christ.  I have found from our studies that demons are having a field day with professing Catholics, Mormons, (Latter Day Saints) Jehovah Witnesses, Coptics, Christian Scientists and others.  When you profess to be a Christian yet Jesus is not Lord and the Holy Spirit is not God in your so-called Christian faith, demons will use this fact against you as an occasion to rule in your life.  The demons will be successful because you are practicing a religion that has “added to or detracted” from the gospel.”

Since most of those who come to Sheppard’s Counseling Center  to be set free from demonic torment were also attending a church that could not deliver them,  I simply asked them to give me 90 days of no church attendance.  Those who can’t do so are not delivered. They are not cursed but “plagued.”

                        Let a word to the wise be sufficient.

 

 

 

 

 

Why You Must Leave the Church, Reason 3.

Why You Must Leave the Church Reason 3:  The New World Order

Take a look at this article.  Here is an excerpt from the first paragraph:

A Pastor has come forward to blow the whistle on a nationwide FEMA program which
is training Pastors and other religious representatives to become secret police
enforcers who teach their congregations to “obey the government” in preparation
for a declaration of martial law, property and firearm seizures, and forced
relocation. To read the rest of the article, click the link below. 

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/may2006/240506femaplan.htm

This article provides a very practical reason why you should leave the organized church. Various pastors are already being prepped to play a significant role in endtimes—a role that suggests to me that the organized church will become a part of the New World Order. 

As such, it is no wise to have  your name on church rolls.

 It is quite interesting that I was sent  this article a week or so AFTER I had a significant  dream in the spring of 2011. I have never been one to read the news or to watch it on TV.  However, what I need to know often comes to me in unique ways. 

 Notice the year the article was published. 2006.  It is not a recent article.  It seems the press has not reported on FEMA and the pastors in recent years. At least I was unaware of this info until someone sent the article to me this past spring.

In the dream, I was in my dwelling.  First,  I watched the TV scramble, thwn  the web go down, then  the water back up in the sink and it was filled with sewage.  Yet I do not know if the electricity was completely off because the dream occurred in the bright of day and I did not try the electrical sockets.

 I went outside and there was this goon squad outside my door.  They were Caucasian, and they were “foreign.” I would say “Nordic” looking. They had foreign accents.   Across the street there was a large  church.  In truth, there is no church within miles of where I live.  In the dream, the people were slowly filing into this church , not for a worship service but it seemed the church was in control of food and water and “other things.” The people were lined up like they were standing outside of a soup kitchen or they were there to be inoculated. 

 I asked one of the goon’s if the local markets were opened.  He  gave me a wry, mocking grin and said “No, go back inside. We have things under control here.”

One other important thing. 

 In the dream, there was no local police.  It seemed that “the goon squad” was in charge.  In the dream, I was shown how long it would be before these things would happen.  I was given a range of years.  Any where from  now to the year 2015, martial law will begin in this country.

Is the dream from God?

I don’t know.

 All I know is that it was NOT from ME!  It is either from God or the devil. 

 There are other things that were in this dream that I am not at liberty to repeat at this time.   I will simply say that by December 2012, I will know if this dream is from the Lord.

 In the meantime, I am stocking up on food and water. It won’t hurt.  I can always give the surplus away. Better safe than sorry.

You are probably wondering  why Pam Sheppard  Ministries is pushing out several articles a day. 

One main reason.  Time is short.  We don’t anticipate that the web will be a resource after 2015. We hope it will be here and that my dream was NOT from the Lord. However, there was nothing in the dream that suggested that the devil sent it. If he did, then his motive was fear.  I am not afraid.  I simply say “Come Lord Jesus!” My faith has not wavered but it has increased. I am a survivor.  An overcomer.    My Lord told me to “fear not,” and I am His obedient servant.

 Therefore, I fear not!

I am also not a  “Harold Camping.”  I don’t say God told me this or that before I know for sure.  I believe in trying the spirits to see if they be of God.  I will know by December 2012. In the meantime, “Keep Reading!” lol

Why You Must Leave the Church:  Reason 2: The Plagues

An Excerpt from “Come Out of Her, God’s People.”

My own case is a glaring illustration of a plague in operation. 

A babe in Christ in 1979 with a serious background in new age occultism, what do I find operative in my first church with my first pastor?  Charismatic witchcraft.  Quite the opposite, church should be a place where a babe in Christ can learn to walk in the spirit so as not  to fulfill the lust of his or her flesh.

 Yet, what did I find?

  Preachers operating as sexual predators.  One non-denominational preacher opened my eyes to the fact that my occult practices of necromancy, channeling, astrology and reincarnation were of the devil, yet that same man introduced me to the charismatic teachings of the non-denominational churches, which are also just another form of witchcraft. A root in dry ground, I thank God that when I walked into church doors for the first time, I had  already been saved at home two years before.

My case aside, As a pastor for 25 years,  I observed the plagues operate within the Denomination from the very beginning. In fact, I have forgotten more instances of tragedy  that befell Harriet Tubman members and even pastors than I can remember today. In most cases, the suffering seemed almost an embarrassment  for people who are supposed to have   a covenant with God.

I couldn’t understand it. 

 Most of the people  simply repeated the same ole platitudes of “who can know God?  We’ll all understand bye and bye.”

The first one who stood out for me was Brother Tommy.

Tommy belonged to the most  prominent  church family. The Thompsons were among the founding  members of Harriet Tubman.  A married man, Tommy tried to be discrete but it was well-known in the church that he constantly “played around.” However, his sins didn’t keep him out of the pulpit for his ability in congregate prayer made room for him not only in the Denomination but in several churches in the region.

Even the ministers could not compete with Tommy.  The man   fervently worked himself up— supposedly “in the Holy Ghost,”  to such an extent that  the entire   congregation went  into  a frenzy. By the time Tommy  finished the prayer,  he was soaking wet with sweat.By then, practically  the entire congregation had already   leaped up off of the pews, shouting, dancing, others falling out  in the aisles.

Even the ministers respected Tommy’s praying ability.   Everyone automatically assumed  that Tommy was  simply anointed and called by God to preach.
However, when frequently asked by others if he was going to enter the ministry,
Tommy vehemently responded in the negative.

On the day Tommy died, his girlfriend dreamt that he knocked at her door but when she went to open it, no one was  there. Others had similar dreams. It was rather eerie, to say the least. The last time I saw Tommy was in church that Sunday morning.  I was sitting in the pulpit along with the pastor of the church, and I watched Tommy nervously looking for his eyeglasses which apparently he had lost.  Around  midnight, Tommy was found crushed between two huge machines at his job while working the midnight shift.  No one found him and he died a slow and  painful death.

I remember thinking, “to lose one’s glasses is symbolic of spiritual blindness.”  Tommy’s mother was one of the old mothers, a pillar of the church, yet she too died an unseemly
death.  Old and mentally challenged, Mother Thompson went out blaspheming and cussing from her nursing home bed.

Sad to say, there were so many others who suffered strange and unusual circumstances that I  noted in my mind seemed  perplexing to be happening to God’s people.  It didn’t dawn on me then that perhaps these  were not really God’s people but that they were either worshiping the Fake Jesus by ignorance or that they were reprobate imposters, un-concerned about sin.

For instance, I can remember a time when I was drawn into the case  of a dying member with a brain tumor.   I had a dream that she would be healed and live to see the birth of  her first grandchild.  To encourage Sister Perry I told her the dream.  She smiled and looked puzzled
because all of her children, except one daughter, were homosexual.  Yet  a few days later, Sister Perry was astonished to learn that one of her gay sons had very recently  impregnated a young woman. Now confident that my dream was  from God, I went forth and laid hands on Sister Perry.

She died a few weeks later.

It was as if the devil mocked us both.  He clearly gave me the dream, a dream with a half truth.  Sister Perry DID NOT live to see the birth of her first grandchild.

I could actually write a book not only about the Denomination’s members, but I also witnessed similar cases among the Pentecostals, –mental health breakdowns,
criminal convictions, strange diseases and other unusual plagues.  Close to home, in spite of my faithfulness as a pastor, I also observed signs of the plague among members of my own congregation. For example, as much as I tried to stop it, some of my members were predators. For example, if a drug addict were to visit my church for the first time, he would not be safe from those in the congregation who tried to cover up their own problem.

Why You Must Leave the Church Reason #1

WHY YOU MUST LEAVE THE CHURCH: 

REASON #1  IT HAS BECOME A DWELLING PLACE OF FALLEN ANGELS AND DEMONS.

For 25 years in the organized church as a minister, I was hopeful that repentance would bring about reformation and renewal to the organized church. However, the love of money, which is the root of ALL evil, has permeated most of the church and I seriously doubt if the Lord is going to allow it to continue to exist in its present state. In fact judgments has already come  and so  I shudder at what is going to happen to church and to churchgoers.

 There are plagues for those who do not “come out of Her.” (Revelation 19:4)

My suspicion that the age of the organized church is either over or very close to ending has been growing over time. There is one startling fact.— I emphasize a crucial, damnable sign of the end of the gentile age. The bottom of the bottom line is that souls are not being saved in the organized church. What is really troublesome is that I am finding that even the best churches can be hazardous, primarily because subtle deception is actually held in place by the sincerity and the commitment of its leadership. To be sincerely wrong can be almost as deadly as being obviously deceived or purposefully deceptive.

In order to understand the nature of end times, we need to have a general insight on “what has been goin on.” I have read newsletters, articles and books written by well-meaning sisters and brothers that are too complicated for the average Christian. We have some very intelligent people in the remnant church—real deep, scholarly thinkers. The problem is that as they major on each individual tree, our minds are overrun with too many oughts, too many ideas. The intent of my blog posts is  to “uncomplicate” things by centering on the big pieces of the puzzle in order to make the spiritual picture more understandable to the average Christian.

To get a picture of “what’s goin on” , it is important that we consider the intense significance of the fact that man was made a little lower than the angels.

As are angels, we too are created beings. The highest created being was Lucifer, as there was no creature superior to him. Beneath Lucifer were the rest of the angelic creation: cherubim and seraphim, the archangels, principalities and powers, the lower angels and demons. The bible also suggests that there were other living creatures on earth who themselves fell at the time of Lucifer’s rebellion. It is believed that their disembodied spirits make up the lower class of demons. Of this, no one is sure. All we know is that no matter the class of demon, in the Name of Jesus, we can “cast them out from people.”

However, demons cannot be cast out of the organized church because the leadership will not repent for practical reasons that I call the 5 “P’s”.  It has too much to lose. Position–self images are in jeopardy.  Power–too many enjoy ruling over others. Prestige—vanity relishes in the exaltation of people. Pride–puffed up preachers will not admit to doctrinal error.  Prosperity–too many livelihoods depend upon tithes and offerings. No one will risk financial stability in hard times.
The  dire situation of the visible church  is like a run away train.  To stop, it must crash.
AND CRASH, IT WILL!
 Any four of my six books will help you to understand why you must leave the church.  They are “Faces of the Religious Demon, The Fake Jesus: Fallen Angels Among Us, Come Out of Her, God’s People and “the New Idolatry.”
