The Last Age of Laodicea And the Self Centeredness of Churchanity: Pam Sheppard

, , ,

Within the charismatic churches that I have attended, our whole lives revolved around going to services to get “more anointing,” “sowing seed,” seeking more & more euphoric experiences, always trying to get God to heal our “past wounds.”

Why didn’t we spend all that time & energy helping others, feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, things outside ourselves? What was the point of soaking up all that so-called anointing if we weren’t gonna do anything with it besides stumbling around drunk on it?

We are the church age at Laodicea.  We are more than self centered.  We are self consumed. Its all about me, me, me. Gimme, gimme, gimme!!! More, more, more. Pay attention to me or I will lose my mind and have a hissy fit!!!

I’ve got a question.  When you stop and listen to to your mind, what or who are you thinking about???

Charles Finney, the Sinner’s prayer and the Fake Jesus

From the days when Lucifer fell from heaven because of his rebellion against God, what compels this number one fallen angel is that he desires to be worshipped like God.  As such, he will go to ANY lengths to obtain it, even deceive people who think they are worshipping the Son of God when in actuality, they are worshipping one of Satan’s cohorts, the fake Jesus.  The eastern religions are assigned a fallen being who calls himself Maitreya, and deceived Christians and new agers are in league with the fallen angel who called Jesus Sananda Immanuel.  Together, they are an unholy trinity of Satan, the Anti-Christ and the false prophet of the book of Revelation.

Sananda’s plot took shape  under the ministry of a preacher called Charles Finney.

Charles Finney

Finney was quite a wicked looking man, as you can see the devil all up in his face. The man lived a long time when you consider that in his lifetime, the average live span was  from the late forties to about 65.  Finney lived to be 83, from 1792-1875. A fiery New York preacher, Finney’s impact on church traditions and practices has been  so profound, that his influence is still spreading globally almost two centuries later.  Finney’s notoriety is that he is the one who brought the entire church the “make a decision for Christ” through repeating the sinners prayer and the altar call.  A practicing freemason for 8 years, Finney eventually disavowed it.  Yet what I have learned about freemasonry is that it is witchcraft. And you just  don’t walk away from witchcraft without a struggle.

Anyway, in a nutshell,  Finney believed that human beings were capable of choosing whether they would be corrupt by nature or redeemed, referring to original sin as an “anti-scriptural and nonsensical dogma”  In clear terms, Finney denied the notion that human beings possess a sinful nature. Therefore, if Adam leads us into sin,  he does so not by our inheriting his guilt and corruption, but by our  following his poor example, this leads logically to the view of Christ as not having died for sins but for some lofty, moralistic reason.

Well, this was the man who started the altar call, invitation to Christian discipleship, “I accept Jesus,” practice that has led to the greatest falling away—the one that Paul himself predicted would transpire.  Consequently, due to Charles Finney, souls have probably not been saved within the organized church system for at least 150 years!!!! This doctrine has  primarily affected the Protestants much  more than the Catholics. Another fallen angel, Mother Mary had a different strategy for THEM. The “make a decision, I accept Jesus gospel has so permeated all Protestant Church tradition, a problem that Baptist preacher Paul Washer is diligently trying to correct, to no avail.  Washer is correct on this score but there  are errors in his teaching as well, which is yet “another story.”  Another practice that Finney started was to use the preacher’s invitation at the end of a sermon to evoke an emotional response, in other words to create a charged up atmosphere to manipulate a false conversion.

More on Finney in “the Fake Jesus” & “the New Idolatry.”

Anyway, the organized church is incapable of fixing a problem that has been built so deep into its foundation for almost two centuries. What makes it “incorrectible” ,  is that the church is not even aware of this essential problem, so Sananda has had his seat in it for quite some time.  His next step was to inspire artists to paint images of a white, blondish hair, blue eyed image of Jesus to put on the walls of the churches, thereby cementing his claim to them.  For when a demon or fallen angel  successfully plants  an object of themselves into any place, they establish squatters rights for the practice of their idolatry.

If you were one who repeated a sinner’s prayer, chances are, you are not saved.  Help is available.  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

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

Tags

, ,

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.

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. .

No Churchanity Gospel. Jesus Christ Is Alive in a Human Body!!!! By: Tee

Tags

Because of a lack of understanding of and faith in the resurrection, many do not realize that Jesus Christ of Nazareth is alive today, in his glorified, resurrected body, and NOT in a spirit form. Even the scriptures teach that he appeared to Mary Magdalene and others in BODILY FORM, so that they could see that he overcame death and is NOT in spirit form. So why do these churches teach that Jesus Christ resurrected in “spirit form?” He even said that he was sending us his Holy Spirit as a counselor to lead us and guide us!!! Any other spirit is hovering around is of the DEVIL!!! It blows my mind how the enemy crafted a plan to minimize the power of the cross , so that people would not have faith in the resurrection, and therefore NOT experience TRUE salvation. TRUE salvation is contingent …on a person’s response to the Gospel: That Jesus Christ of Nazareth was born of the virgin Mary, came to this earth as the son of God, was crucified and nailed to the cross for the sins of the world, took YOUR place when it should have been YOU paying for your own wicked nature (because the wages of sin is DEATH), died and RESURRECTED IN PHYSICAL BODY FORM on the 3rd day.

The part that most people miss is the actual resurrection part! The faith it takes to believe that a DEAD MAN LIVES, HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH, IS SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER RIGHT NOW, AND IS NOT HOVERING AROUND AS SOME “MAGICAL” SPIRIT is what will determine whether or not a person will be saved!!! HE CAME ALL THE WAY DOWN HERE IN HUMAN FORM TO SAVE US FROM THE WICKEDNESS THAT WE ARE! The crazy part is that the BELIEF IN THE ACTUAL RESURRECTION…NOT KNOWLEDGE, BUT BELIEF, THE AHA MOMENT, IS WHAT WILL HIT A PERSON WHO GOD INTENDS TO SAVE!!! The POWER is also in the fact that HE IS GOD BECAUSE HE DEFEATED EVERYTHING, EVEN DEATH!!! THAT SAME POWER WILL ALLOW US WHO ARE BORN AGAIN TO BE CHANGED FROM MORTAL TO IMMORTAL AND LIVE FOREVER, JUST LIKE HIM!!!!! But instead, people are duped into believing that all they gotta do is “pray Jesus into their hearts,” when any true born again believer knows that the REAL Jesus is sitting at the right hand of the father and cannot come into our hearts. Only evil spirits do that through the heart CHAKRA, one of the openings, that allows evil spirits to enter into us. THAT is why any person who claims salvation and says that they “prayed Jesus into their heart” cannot truly be saved. Furthermore, we do not invite the Holy Ghost to save us. Evil spirits respond to invitations. He saves us IF we are one of the ELECT, WHEN the time is right, and HE REBIRTHS OUR SPIRITS. WE HAVE NO CONTROL OVER IT…NO PRAYER, NO WORKS (so that we cannot boast), NOTHING. IT’S IN THE HANDS OF THE HOLY GHOST. HE BLOWS LIKE THE WIND.

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.

Mother Teresa and the Effects of Catholic Mysticism By: Pam Sheppard

Tags

The late Mother Teresa is considered to be a Saint by the Catholic Church. The life she led was the epitome of Catholic ideals. She selflessly devoted her life to helping the impoverished and suffering.

If the Catholic faith was based on truth, if anyone could have been living proof of that, it should have been Mother Teresa; however, recently letters written by her have surfaced in which she writes about how she lost her faith but kept up appearances.

“In dozens of letters spanning 66 years, Mother Teresa described the ’emptiness’ she felt and confessed her struggles with faith and the existence of heaven in pages she had planned to have destroyed.” (from http://abcnews.go.com/WN/story?id=3521905&page=1)

Other quotes from the letters:

“Where is my faith? Even deep down… there is nothing but emptiness and darkness… If there be God — please forgive me.” (from http://www.cbsnews.com/news/letters-reveal-mother-teresas-secret/)

“Such deep longing for God… Repulsed, empty, no faith, no love, no zeal…” (from http://www.cbsnews.com/news/letters-reveal-mother-teresas-secret/)

“Jesus has a very special love for you. As for me, the silence and the emptiness is so great that I look and do not see, listen and do not hear.” — Mother Teresa to the Rev. Michael Van Der Peet, September 1979 (from http://content.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1655720,00.html#ixzz2mwI2WjV3)

The article “Letters Reveal Mother Teresa’s Secret” (http://www.cbsnews.com/news/letters-reveal-mother-teresas-secret/) sums it up by saying, “According to her letters, Mother Teresa died with her doubts. She had even stopped praying, she once said. The church decided to keep her letters, even though one of her dying wishes was that they be destroyed. Perhaps now we know why.”

Christian Mysticism in the Church Today! by Pam Sheppard

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.

FAKE Salvation in Churchianity! by Pam Sheppard

Tee's avatarSpiritual Warfare Library of PSM

“Most religious people have never experienced true repentance. Why? Because they continually judge and condemn themselves on a regular. Most people are already convinced in their minds that they are sinners. They reason in their minds “well, yeah, I have sinned, but so has the next guy and when I look around at others, my sins are nothing compared to his, so I believe I’m going to heaven because I am not that bad.” On the other hand, godly sorrow is a deeply emotional experience where the sinner is brought face to face with his own inner darkness. It is the dark time of the soul. It is no longer a comparison to the “next guy.” It becomes “it’s me Lord—and compared to You, I am a wretched being, a poor excuse of humanity. My heart cries out to You to save me.”

Furthermore, religious folk are always looking to…

Leaving Churchianity for True Christian Fellowship by Pam Sheppard

Tee's avatarSpiritual Warfare Library of PSM

Most of us in RESCUE have already come out of the institutional church. A few may be at a place where they are wrestling with the idea of coming out of the institutional church.

One of the things that is very frightening for a churchgoer contemplating leaving church is the idea that once they are out, they will be like a fish out of water. They may feel like they won’t survive without the fellowship, the ‘teaching’ (even if the teachings are false), the worship, even though it is attracting demons, have created an emotional tie to a building, where people really do not know each other, much less love each other.

One of the very real needs for ALL believers is the need to have a safe place where they can be real. Where they can confess their faults, one to another, in the fear of God.

And be…

Evil Spirits in the Church That Reveal Satan’s Agenda by Pam Sheppard

The woman in this video, under the power of fallen angels is telling the congregation exactly what the Lord has revealed to me about tongues.

I have seen this kind of thing before. I know of a case where demons used a member of the congregation to tell a deliverance pastor of 50 yrs that “he was working for them, that the organized church had been taken over by them! That all the mega preachers work for them. Also, a lot of what I wrote in The FAKE JESUS was told to this pastor by the fallen angels that spoke through this young woman.

In this particular video, the same sort of thing is happening. the entity is mockingly revealing all of Satan’s secrets. Why do they do this? I suspect they are renegades, working for themselves, with no loyalty not only to God but to Satan also. THEY ARE…

It’s AMAZING and MIND BOGGLING to me how many Charismatics and Pentecostals STILL WON’T LISTEN when you try to show them that the religious supernatural practices they engage in within their churches are actually New Age occult practices, and are Satanic, in origin. The evidence is all out there. But they are so addicted to lusting after the supernatural that it overtakes their ability to realize that NONE OF THAT has anything to do with God Almighty, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Perhaps THIS will help open their eyes:

Religion Takes Away Your Identity

Tee's avatarSpiritual Warfare Library of PSM

One thing I have really disliked about religion (well, there are many, but I will focus on this one! lol), is that being religious makes a person become something they are not. You all know what I am talking about. There is just this certain way people become when they turn religious…even in the way they speak.The religious practices and rules make us feel like we have to do certain things, and act a certain way to be accepted by God, be righteous, or “get into heaven.” It’s like a switch turns on for them to act a certain way when the subject of God or Jesus comes up. All of a sudden, they know all the righteous things to do and say. Interesting…

I do not miss the long, drawn out, religious prayers, that are nothing but FLUFF, leading people to believe that they have attained a certain righteousness…

The Location of God

Tee's avatarSpiritual Warfare Library of PSM

WHERE IS GOD?

searching

Is he in you? Is he hovering around like a genie, waiting to grant your every wish? Is he waiting in the midst for you to give him an opportunity to give you a supernatural ‘presence of God’ experience? Do you REALLY know where God is? Is it in God’s nature to do supernatural acts to woo us and get up wrapped up into supernatural signs and wonders?

Consider the following words of author Jessie Penn-Lewis:

The counterfeit “presence” of God is nearly always manifested as love, to which the believer opens himself without hesitation, and finds it fill and satiate his innermost being, but the deceived one does not know that he has opened himself to evil spirits in the deepest need of his inner life.”

God is in heaven. Christ the Glorified Man is in heaven. The location of the God we worship…

“Protecting The Will Of God?”

Tags

, , , ,

The Devil is into distracting and duping us on a large scale. Does God need us to protect His will? Surely God needs no protection regarding His will; He is God. Sadly, many proclaimed believers fall captive to this false perception of truth, and end up supporting the works of the religious fallen angel, called the spirit of Anti-Christ. Here is an excerpt from Pam’s book, “The New Idolatry.”

“Far too many of the elect have ignored the scriptures that predict the great delusion that shall fall upon the elect in the last days. Since we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, the demonic strategy most often employed against a believer in a battle with an opposing enemy is to compel us to defend and protect our own demonic works simply because we have been fooled into believing that signs and wonders that we experienced were divine. Therefore, we who believe adamantly will defend our position in an effort to stand and protect ” the will of God.”

So what ends up happening is that through our own spiritual ignorance, we find ourselves in a most awful place where we are actually opposing the very truth of God in our support of demonic deception. Without knowing it, we are actually defending and supporting the spirit of Anti- Christ, aka “the religious fallen angel.” In my case, denominational leadership was convinced that they were protecting their traditions by blocking my ministry. The religious fallen angel’s intention was to use the denomination’s unfairness to distract me from concentrating on how a religious devil assigned to me had been duping me for two decades. Simply put, the devil’s strategy was to distract me by the obvious in order to dupe me by the unseen. It worked, at least for a time. I am blessed and humbled because without the grace of God, I too would have remained “poor, blind and naked” in the spirit.”

In what way have you presumed upon God? Can you think back to how you may have disobeyed the word of God, and compromised His truth through believing something that was not backed by His word? If so, what is your present understanding regarding the deception that Pam describes above?

“Casting Down Imaginations By Receiving Truth” by Tee

Tags

, , , ,

“Casting Down Imaginations by Receiving Truth is the VERY FIRST step in Deliverance. It is very important for the captive to let go of false beliefs, and begin to digest the truth about their captivity. This is VERY difficult to do. Many of the beliefs that people hold near and dear to their hearts are NOT TRUTH, and are LIES FROM THE ENEMY that have them bound in the first place. This is the PRIMARY way a person is held captive…THROUGH RELIGIOUS BELIEFS THAT ARE NOT BASED ON THE TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. During this step, it is the deliverance mentor’s job to help the captive denounce these false beliefs by providing them with information that will shed light on the TRUTH of the matter. It is then the captive’s responsibility to either accept or reject the truth. This is not an easy feat with many who contact us for deliverance. Religious pride often rears it’s ugly head, and blocks the captive’s ability to move forward with this very important step. This is because the captive is in bondage to common religious beliefs that they automatically assume are truths from God. Most people are VERY naive to the enemy’s crafty wiles and strategies to keep people deceived and in torment. It is very difficult to help people to see that much of what they believe as truth is a flat out lie from the enemy.

Quite often, we come across folks who are just unwilling to accept the fact that what they believe is actually not from God, and that they have been tricked into believing religious lies from the devil. When something has been a part of your life and taught to you for so many years of your life, it is very difficult to let it go, and can be uncomfortable at first. But, I assure you that the results FAR outweigh the struggle. But, in order to get beyond the struggle and progress to the next step, one MUST begin to develop the will it takes to receive the TRUTH by first recognizing the lies they thought were truth, by trusting in the Lord to undeceive them so they can begin to see the truth, and finally, by courageously make a firm decision to DENY those false religious beliefs. Then and only then will person be in the position to attempt to identify strongholds the enemy has in their life, and then as a result be able to successfully tear down those strongholds. Honestly, it requires an open mind, because the truth seems foreign at first; but the more a person is willing to humbly receive truth, the more he/she will begin to see more and more revelations of truth.

When I was being undeceived, I was utterly shocked at what the Holy Spirit was showing me. And then I went through a period of constant revelations, back to back, just opening my eyes even wider. For someone who has been raised in religion, my morals, values, and decisions where shaped by false religious beliefs. When I learned the truth, I had the decision of either rejecting the truth and traveling down the comfortable road by continuing to uphold my religious beliefs, OR by considering the fact that maybe, just maybe many of the beliefs I had developed over the years may actually be based on religious lies. I chose the latter. And I am quite pleased that I did. The blinders have been removed! I once was blind, but now I SEE!

WHAT RELIGIOUS BELIEFS HAVE YOU HAD TO DENOUNCE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE TRUTH?”

Pam Sheppard has written on this subject and sheds great insight on examining the work of religious demons, their deceptive tactics, and eventual oppression of sincere church-goers, in her book called “Faces Of The Religious Demon”.

Coming Out Of The Church

tinalynn8's avatarSpiritual Warfare Library of PSM

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

Tags

, , , , ,

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.
