Religious Spirits 201
08 Sunday Apr 2012
I know you have heard a lot of talk on religious spirits. If you are new to church (as we know it), or if you’ve been in church for over 40 years, this term may baffle you because you have been taught that – as the song goes ‘Religion SO sweet…’
We all have been lulled into a semi- or fully-delusional state where we are drugged into believing something we know deep down inside ‘just isn’t right.’ We just went to church and went along with the programs to get along. We didn’t want to rock the boat, so to speak, out of fear that we would be labeled ‘rebellious,’ ‘unfaithful,’ ‘unteachable,’ or a host of other names leadership likes to place on thinking people who were blessed with common sense AND wisdom to know game when they see it.
Yet even the most discerning, the most wise, the most street-wise of us check our brains in at the door of a church once we enter therein. We erroneously think that we are NOT supposed to use the wisdom and common sense GOD HIMSELF has blessed us with once we walk through the doors of a church. We erroneously believe that God does NOT deal with our minds at all. So any inkling deep down in our guts and minds that game is being played we suppress that, thinking that it’s the devil trying to get us ‘out of the ship.’
How do we properly discern a Religious Spirit?
Well, for starters, I want to present to you that after we are born again, we should not check in our brains at the door. EVERYTHING that God has allowed you to learn-whether it was via books and a teacher, or on the streets, or by life experience-EVERYTHING has been allowed to happen in your life so that you can LEARN A LESSON from it. The good, the bad, the ugly, the beautiful. We have to learn to not have any regrets…even over mistakes.
Human beings are learning creatures. From the moment we are born into the earth, until the hour we breathe our last breath, we are supposed to be in a CONSTANT state of learning, and probably re-learning, too.
If your gut tells you something ain’t right, then TRUST YOUR INSTINCT!
A religious spirit knows how to look holy, righteous. Just by first glance, you can’t tell the difference between a holy person and a religious one. They will look just like the woman above.
But as time goes on, and you start spending time with that person, you will start to notice inconsistencies. Certain things just wouldn’t line up. You will start seeing glaring imperfections and brazen outright sin in their lives…but the more those weeds in their lives manifest, the more they try to COVER IT UP with works of righteousness, more church work, more random acts of kindness to strangers, more religious works.
The more works of religion and righteousness they do, you will begin to notice that their life does not line up with the Word of God. They will sin and not be convicted of it. They will not respond to the conviction of the Holy Ghost of sin and justify sin, or be in outright denial about their sinful state. And the more they do this, the more active they get in the church. They do more ‘church work,’ hold more revivals, conferences, and convocations, preach harder, prophesy harder…all in an effort to gain their OWN righteousness, to atone for their sins on their own. Their mindset is ‘If I stay in church enough, that will make up for my fornicating last night,’ or ‘If I do A & B, then that will make up for my dealing drugs at that school…’
The demon starts to manifest by then. And it looks a little something like this:
By now, the church lady is cussing, drinking, smoking, lying, threatening to cut folks. When she goes to church, she has her hands upraised. Praising God, speaking in tongues, running around the church, preaching….the whole nine. But when you see her in situations that require her to have patience, she has none. This religious spirit has NO patience. It wants what it wants, when it wants it! They gotta preach…NOW! They gotta prophesy….NOW! They gotta get married…NOW! You wanna see if someone has a religious spirit, tell them NO…or WAIT. If they go off in a tantrum, then you got a religious spirit on your hands!
A religious spirit also is very unaware of the very real fact that they are, too, flawed individuals…with sin. They swim in a pool of SELF-DENIAL. They are in self-denial about EVERYTHING. But the one thing they are in self-denial about is the state of their own selves.
A religious spirit is a potentially dangerous spirit, for there is nothing-NOTHING-a religious spirit WON’T do to protect THEIR IMAGE! THEIR IMAGE IS EVERYTHING TO THEM!!! They don’t believe in self-exposure or disclosure. When they fall into sin, drastic measures are taken to COVER UP their sin. If the religious spirit is a pastor, he/she will employ the help of the church to participate in the cover up. They will use fear tactics and mishandle the Word of God to manipulate and control people into doing what THEY want them to do.
A religious spirit NEEDS an entourage. They need a following. If they dont have anyone following them, they feel useless, rejected, persecuted even. This is when a religious spirit-that demonic spirit-will FULLY manifest….right before your eyes!
A religious spirit is a proud one. It won’t ever admit to being wrong, or doing wrong.
When you have discerned that you are dealing with a religious spirit, the only thing to do is to get away from them. Because until the person comes into the realization and revelation that they have something DEMONIC that’s driving them to do things in church, or do ministry, or for a good cause, there is nothing that can be done for them. Religious spirits are SO insidious and subtle that its hard to recognize….at first glance. It takes TIME to observe a person in all their various atmospheres to determine if they have a religious spirit or not.
In ‘Faces of a Religious Demon’ by Pam Sheppard, many faces of the religious spirit/demon are exposed. It is one of the most thorough teachings on religious spirits that I have ever read.

“I Hear From God Every Day…”
08 Sunday Apr 2012
I remember speaking with an ‘apostle’ one day. We were talking about ‘hearing from God. Since being led by God is a sign of being a son of God, and one cannot be led unless they have ears to hear, it was very important. I was very interested in hearing what this person had to say (or teach) about hearing from God.
I was with him and agreed with everything he was saying until he proclaimed, ‘I hear the audible voice of God every day.’ My spirit man screeched to a sudden halt.
Then he went on to say, ‘if someone doesn’t hear from God every day, then something is wrong with them. They’re not right with God. If you’re a prophet, you MUST hear from God…EVERY DAY.’
The Spirit of God in me immediately sent up a red flag when I heard this, so I did not receive this.
‘Man, shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God…’ (Matt. 4:4)
So many in the organized, religious church system (or even those who don’t go to the I.C. but still have residue of religion in them) hold onto this mindset that if they don’t hear from God every day, then something is wrong. It is with this mindset that MANY go on the prowl for ‘a word from the Lord.’
They start stalking prophets, closely watching FB pages for a fresh revelation and word. They spend their rent money on attending the next prophetic conference. They call 20 people in one day looking for ‘a word from the Lord.’
And that is EXACTLY what the enemy is hoping you will do!
The Word does say ‘blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.’ (Matthew 5:6) But when you run behind prophecies, and this one and that one, or this conference or that conference for a word from the Lord, the enemy KNOWS very well how to sound like God, preach like God, prophesy like God, give ‘words of knowledge and wisdom’ that sound good, etc.
And what you thought was God was actually FROM THE ENEMY!
It is a greedy, insatiable and wicked generation that seeks after a sign, a wonder, a word, a revelation (Matthew 16:4)…INSTEAD OF SEEKING AFTER GOD!!!
Let me share something with you…
God may speak to you, give you a word, a revelation, a prophecy, or whatever. Then most likely, HE WILL BE SILENT for a period of time, to give YOU time to digest that Word. To chew on it. ACT ON IT!
God will give you something and He may expect you to keep ‘feeding’ off that word for a period of time.
It is said that beef takes a minute to digest in your system. It is so thick, dense and rich a meat that it can take up to two weeks to fully process through the digestive system.
Hebrews 5:13-14
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
The word for useth in vs. 13 means ‘to partake of.’ To have one’s senses ‘exercised’ to discern good and evil is not something that just supernaturally just falls into one’s lap. To reap the benefits of exercise, one must do it continually. There must be a history of exercise. EXPERIENCE.
If there are no experiences of private study, devotion, reading of the Word, prayer, etc., then your spirit man is NOT exercised-or it has not learned-how to discern what is right and what is wrong.
David said, ‘Your word I have hidden in my heart, so I won’t sin against you…’ (Psalms 119:11). Hiding the Word in our hearts takes TIME. It comes from STUDY. It comes from shutting out distractions and digging into your word FOR YOURSELF and allowing the Holy Ghost to speak to YOU through the word. There IS no richer, more satisfying spiritual meal than the one you have prepared yourself!
I hear people talk all the time about going to church so their pastor can ‘feed’ them. And that sounds real good, religious, pious.
The problem is that most of what’s being taught in these churches today IS rotten milk. All you mothers know what a hassle it is to have to get up every two hours to breastfeed or bottle feed the baby. We know that baby’s appetite is insatiable-neverending-because that child is growing and needs MEAT. You keep giving milk to a 7 year old only, and I promise you, that child wont grow and will die!
But give it meat?
And the problem has been that the organized church system is not a producer of spiritual meat. It is set up so to keep the masses babes, unskilful in the word of righteousness. Why? SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISCERN GOOD AND EVIL!!!!
The devil does NOT want folks to discern a THING. He likes for you to keep thinking that discernment is this ethereal, invisible magic force that is given to you by the laying on of hands, or some other supernatural experience. ‘Girl, one day, prophet laid hands on me, and BAMMM! I got the gift of discernment!’
THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!
What you got was that prophet’s demons. Transference of spirits. You picked up a suspicious spirit, just like they got. But TRUE discernment you did NOT get!
Discernment is built up as you MATURE in God, as you get into HIS presence and let HIM reveal the Word to you…on a constant basis. The Spirit of God IS a teacher. He teaches you how to discern between good and evil.
And that ability does not come by osmosis or touch. That comes from your willingness to eat, digest and feast on the MEAT of the Word, on a continual basis.
And you must realize that meat takes time to go through our systems. It’s filling, stock full of protein. We won’t be hungry in two hours once we have feasted on a nice juicy steak!
If beef takes two weeks to get out of your system, how much more so would the WORD OF GOD?
In prophets in the bible didn’t get visits from God every day. He didn’t speak to them every day. THAT is what that scripture means that says ‘living from EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God…’ A procession takes TIME. Just because we sit down here and ‘WAAAHHH, WAAAAHHH’ like a baby 24/7 for some milk every two hours does NOT mean God’s gonna give it to you…when YOU want it!
Babies do that.
But if you are a mature believer in God, then He expects you to patiently wait on HIM. If you’re seeking Him for some truth or revelation, or a word….then PATIENTLY do so. Patience, waiting on God, speaks to your FAITH. Without FAITH, it is impossible to please God. The answer to prayer hasn’t come yet, then WAIT ON IT. STOP stalking prophets, going broke attending prophetic conferences, staying up all hours of the night on conference calls….seeking a Word from the Lord!
Because the Spirit of Antichrist is waiting, to give you a false word!
A religious demon is always waiting on those folks who are so super spiritual that they always gotta have a word-EVERY DAY-from the Lord. READY to deceive and mislead!
And you would be the only one to blame, because your impatience, your seeking after a word, a sign, a wonder would have been the reason why the fake Jesus was invited to come into your heart and give you false words, miracles, direction, prophecies, etc.
God has given us 774,746 words in the Bible.
If you’re that hungry and desperate for a ‘word,’ then crack open that bible and ask for one.
It is NOT necessary to hear the audible voice of God every day. Don’t let ANYONE tell you that it is necessary.
Stop stalking prophets for a word. Pay your rent and stop going to these fake prophetic conferences. Stop giving these master prophets your whole paychecks in promises that you will be ‘blessed.’
When God gives you a word, take your time and chew on it. Let it digest in your spirit.
If direction is given in the word, then walk it OUT…act on it!
Let God continue to show you NEW revelation on what you perceive to be an ‘old word.’
EVERYTHING old is new….AGAIN!
THE CROSS, THE RESURRECTION AND DELIVERANCE
06 Friday Apr 2012
ARE YOU LOT’S WIFE?
I have been doing the work of deliverance since 1983 and so I learned that I must “plead the blood.” Even so, I know full well that there were times when I did not fully understand the power of the blood, yet my faith was fully grounded in the power of the Name of Jesus and I have had a modicum of success with casting out demons. However, the power of His name comes from the power of the cross, the blood, and the resurrection.
In order for a deliverance to occur and be long lasting, it is important that both the worker and the captive realize that being crucified to the world is essential to a complete victory over the enemy. Yet in order to fully understand how to be crucified to the world, the terms need to be defined.
First of all, the world is not the earth. The world is an invisible group of “systems” that the enemy of our souls is still the god of. So in simple terms, if Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not Lord over a particular system, that system is a part of THE WORLD. Put another way, if Christ is not the head of it, it is “the world.” That includes people, places and things. For example, if Christ is not the head of your family, then your family is “THE WORLD.” If Christ is not the head of your school, then your school is “THE WORLD.” If Christ is not the head of your career, your sport, whatever, it is THE WORLD. If Christ is not the head of your church, SHE IS THE WORLD!
Actually, ALL religious systems are a part of THE WORLD, if Jesus Christ of Nazareth is not the head of them. Christianity and the organized church are a significant part of the religious WORLD. If you are born again, you must be crucified with Christ to the religious world. Since the religious world includes the organized church system, you must be crucified to Her. If you love the organized church system, then you are a lover of the world.
There are other books and blogs where I explain why the institutional church is a part of the religious world and must be rejected. Just know that what I write herein is premised on the fact that I believe it was the Lord who spoke to me in 2007 and said that “He has already judged the IC and that the Holy Ghost has been removed.” So as I am dead to the world, I am also dead to the organized church and her practices. I don’t argue that point with anyone. I simply walk by faith and not by sight. The organized church is quite “visible” yet She is dead to me and I have buried Her.
According the word of God, the cross of Jesus is the great separator between the Lord and every aspect of the world. Consider Lot’s wife. When God was destroying Sodom–the visible world—He warned those He was about to deliver “not to look back.” Looking back was a sign of a love for Sodom and the things of the sodomite world. Today, some seek deliverance yet like Lot’s wife, the cross has not separated them from the longing that still remains in their hearts for the world.
Six year ago, I had planned to celebrate by attending a gospel fest held in a Pentecostal church during the holiday season. I thought to myself, “What could be the harm? After all, there would be no preaching, but only worship through song. So I ordered 4 tickets.
Two days later, I heard in the spirit very clearly, “ARE YOU LOT’S WIFE?”
Four little words! Believe, me folk! My imagination was live! lol No more needed to be said. I cancelled the tickets with a quickness! Think of it!!! I was planning to return to the enemy’s territory, “to worship God!” The bottomline is that I was “looking back”, possibly TO GO BACK! Who knows but God. A very bad move AFTER God had delivered me out of the oppression of the enemy that I had withstood for 25 years!!!. This is what I believe. If I had attended that service, my days of celebrating birthdays would have come to an abrupt end. The fear of the Lord came on me, a fear that is the beginning of wisdom!
Some have left the world, even the church world, but like Lot’s wife, the cross has not separated them from the longing that remains in their hearts for the world. So I warn everyone who has an ear to hear and an eye to see. There is a religious world in our times which is far more dangerous than other systems that are obviously evil and a part of Satan’s domain. This religious world consists of professing Christians who unknowingly deny the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ in more ways than one.
You see the cross symbolizes deliverance from this present evil age (Gal 1:4),—from the powers of darkness (Col 1:13)—from the devils and demons who rule the world under their leader, Satan–(Eph 6:12) and—-on the resurrection side of the cross—WE ARE TRANSLATED INTO THE KINDOM OF THE SON OF GOD! When we plead the blood, we are telling the enemy that we are dead to his world, that he no longer has authority over us, that we walk in that same power that raised Jesus from the dead.
Yet–if we look back—Satan treats us as if we were “Lot’s wife.” The cross and the resurrection loses its victory in our lives. If the world STILL has the power to attract us or to influence our spiritual walk, then we are not crucified. If we are not crucified, then we are open and vulnerable to demonic attacks and the fate of Lot’s wife can be OUR fate.
We arrive on the resurrection side of the cross only AFTER we have been crucified to the world. No crucifixion? No power to defeat the enemy. For we overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb! Pleading the blood is of no consequence to demons if the one who stands as a deliverer of captives is not crucified to the world.

Illuminati for the Perpetually Religious 101
04 Wednesday Apr 2012
THE ILLUMINATI
By Pamela Sheppard
When things have gone wrong in your life, when you seem damned if you do and damned if you don’t, when you look around to blame SOMEBODY, we have all pointed our finger at the invisible man. We accuse ” THE MAN.” The MAN may even have a title like Uncle Sam, or the Boys in Washington,City Hall, or even that low life, “Mr. Charlie.” Well “the man” has yet another name. The Illuminati.
An accurate description of the Illuminati is difficult because it is a secret, ancestral, occult society, comprised of the filthy rich and often the highly educated. If you descibed the Mafia and threw in the flavor of Aryan Germany Naxis, and added the 32 degree freemasons into the equation, you would have a decent description of the Illuminati. The Illuminati’s historic roots can be traced back to the Knights Templar, to the Greek and Gnostic initiatory cults,to Egypt and even to Atlantis. Rather than distracting myself from the main issues at hand, I reviewed the writings and testimonies of some former Illuminati’s like John Todd and others who keep their real identity anonymous.
Simply put, the influence of the Illuminati is staggering, crossing several systems: banking, the media,politics and the legal profession, education, labor,energy to name a few.. They also rival the Mafia in their criminal connections. As an endtime player, there influence in religion is a thing to keep a serious eye on. The importance of the Illuminati as an endtime “religious” player is a sinister Catholic connection as alluded to in the movie, Godfather III. The plan is to merge religion into the apostate one world church that will serve Lucifer. The informers warn that the Illuminati has infiltrated world governments,toward the end ofbringing in a new leader who will usher in a Luciferean reign of joy, prosperity and rewards for the faithful.
The dangerous element to this group is that like Hitler and his evil regime, they see themselves as a superior race who in their minds is not evil. The Mafia know who they are and we know who they are. However, the Illuminati consists of billionnaire aristocrats who will hire “whoever” for “whatever” to control the masses. Strangely, they are convinced that their secret efforts to dominate and control the masses is for the greater good of humanity. Actually, they see themselves as “the good guys” who weed out the weak and the unfit as they develop among themselves a superior human being. The Illuminati will put it’s support behind the BEAST.
BENJAMIN CREME
This white haired sweet, unassuming little man has been the messenger of a high ranking fallen angel whom I believe fits the biblical description of the antiChrist better than any human being on earth. Since July 1977,Creme first contacted a demon he calls an ascended master. I got into the kingdom just under the wire, —4 months BEFORE the demon Maitreya made his first appearance to Benjamin Creme. For 3 decades, Creme, referred to as the John the Baptist of the anti-Christ, has been traveling the globe, telling audiences that the second coming of Christ will not be in the clouds, but that the Christ has been here for 30 years, hiding out in the Himalayas.
A British author, artist, and occult practitioner, Creme has progressively obtained worldwide credibility in high places around the world. Creme claims that the Masters are our elder brothers who have been stimulating and enlightening us since man’s creation. In the next issue, I will address in more detail how Creme has supported his claim that Maitreya and the other ascended masters are here and ready to solve our most critical problems. Simply put, Creme validates his claims by pointing to various miraculous events that have occurred around the world: ie. statues that weep real tears and blood. In England, holy messages have appeared when housewives cut the vegetables. The seeds are rearranged, spelling out the following message, “Allah is Great. Mohommad is his prophet.”
Healing waters have also appeared worldwide, as atTiacote in Mexico, some of the most miraculous cures from cancer, AIDS, warts and boils have allegedly been manifested as miraculous healings. Then there is “the milk miracle” which occurred in the Hindu community, where the milk offered to the gods disappeared, as if the idols actually drank the milk. Creme claims that Maitreya and a group of ascended masters made the milk disappear. The danger for God’s people is that Benjamin Creme is considered the most credible source of information about endtime revelations. As for me, I look to the clouds and not to the Himalaya’s, the deserts or any other part of the world to find Jesus. So Beloved, look to the clouds!!!!

THE ILLUMINATI AND THE CHURCH
04 Wednesday Apr 2012
By Pamela Sheppard
His name was John Todd, a former member of the illuminati. In the late 70’s, he warned us against their plans for world domination before he was framed and effectively discredited by the illuminati. The words that he left on his audio tapes are still coming to fruition, which puts lots of credibility on his claim that he was an insider. These audio tape speak about the evil plans of the illuminati for world control. This is just another piece of the puzzle that explains what’s going on today’s world. Few people have any clue as to the deliberate Satanic subversion of America by the Illuminati. In one of his tapes, John Todd also revealed that it was the illuminati who financially backed the word of faith, charismatic movement and put various mega preachers on the world wide map. He was discredited and mysteriously killed.
In a transcribed article of an internet inteview on 1/11/1998 with former illuminati and mind control programmer, Cisco Wheeler, the method the illuminati used to infiltrate the organized church is chillingly revealed:
“In the late forties, the Illuminati wanted to infiltrate the churches because they understood the power of God within the structure of the church and they had to find a way to infiltrate the church to break down that spiritual strength within the church, the power of the Holy Spirit that works within the church. They (the Illuminati) had to find a way to infiltrate that, and they wated to bring the world into the churches so that the churches wouldn’t be so strong spiritually.
That was part of my father’s job. In order to do that, my father married my mother who was NOT Illuminati, but she had a very strong religious background. She was that perfect example for the world, that eprfect wife for the church to set examples for other young women in the church. When my father married her, that was his way to infiltrate the church, through my mother.”
When asked how her father actually infiltrated the church, Cisco replied:
“By becoming a part of the church, by being a minister, by being ordained, by getting into youth groups, becoming friendly with the Elders and the Board of Directors within the congregation. They was with the Pentecostal churches.”
Cisco’s testimony provides increased understanding to the Apostle Paul’s warning to the Corinthians when he wrote “Be not unequally yoked to unbelievers. On a personal note, her account gives credence to my own experience when I went to church in 1979 and found that at least 75% of the pastors were freemasons, and 95% percent of laity leadership were members of Prince Hall Lodge or the Eastern Stars.
The Lord recently shared with me that when I had arrived to the organized church in 1979, the Holy Ghost had already left. This revelation provides me with renewed understanding as to why I found so much sin and no genuine spiritual fruit among only the senior citizens. The old mothers would bemoan all the time that “Church just ain’t what it used to be.”
It took less than 3 decades for the Illuminati’s mission to be accomplished.

Why are there so many demons in the church? Part 1
03 Tuesday Apr 2012
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 make. 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.
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 RE-INFEST-the WHOLE sanctuary!
THIS IS WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO THE LOCAL CHURCHES!!!!
Those who have been 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 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.
“I Hear From God Every Day…” Ur a LIAR!
02 Monday Apr 2012
Posted in deception, deliverance, demons and devils, organized church, religious demon
I remember speaking with an ‘apostle’ one day. We were talking about ‘hearing from God. Since being led by God is a sign of being a son of God, and one cannot be led unless they have ears to hear, it was very important. I was very interested in hearing what this person had to say (or teach) about hearing from God.
I was with him and agreed with everything he was saying until he proclaimed, ‘I hear the audible voice of God every day.’ My spirit man screeched to a sudden halt.
Then he went on to say, ‘if someone doesn’t hear from God every day, then something is wrong with them. They’re not right with God. If you’re a prophet, you MUST hear from God…EVERY DAY.’
The Spirit of God in me immediately sent up a red flag when I heard this, so I did not receive this.
‘Man, shall not live by bread alone, but by EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God…’ (Matt. 4:4)
So many in the organized, religious church system (or even those who don’t go to the I.C. but still have residue of religion in them) hold onto this mindset that if they don’t hear from God every day, then something is wrong. It is with this mindset that MANY go on the prowl for ‘a word from the Lord.’
They start stalking prophets, closely watching FB pages for a fresh revelation and word. They spend their rent money on attending the next prophetic conference. They call 20 people in one day looking for ‘a word from the Lord.’
And that is EXACTLY what the enemy is hoping you will do!
The Word does say ‘blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled.’ (Matthew 5:6) But when you run behind prophecies, and this one and that one, or this conference or that conference for a word from the Lord, the enemy KNOWS very well how to sound like God, preach like God, prophesy like God, give ‘words of knowledge and wisdom’ that sound good, etc.
And what you thought was God was actually FROM THE ENEMY!
It is a greedy, insatiable and wicked generation that seeks after a sign, a wonder, a word, a revelation (Matthew 16:4)…INSTEAD OF SEEKING AFTER GOD!!!
Let me share something with you…
God may speak to you, give you a word, a revelation, a prophecy, or whatever. Then most likely, HE WILL BE SILENT for a period of time, to give YOU time to digest that Word. To chew on it. ACT ON IT!
God will give you something and He may expect you to keep ‘feeding’ off that word for a period of time.
It is said that beef takes a minute to digest in your system. It is so thick, dense and rich a meat that it can take up to two weeks to fully process through the digestive system.
Hebrews 5:13-14
For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
The word for useth in vs. 13 means ‘to partake of.’ To have one’s senses ‘exercised’ to discern good and evil is not something that just supernaturally just falls into one’s lap. To reap the benefits of exercise, one must do it continually. There must be a history of exercise. EXPERIENCE.
If there are no experiences of private study, devotion, reading of the Word, prayer, etc., then your spirit man is NOT exercised-or it has not learned-how to discern what is right and what is wrong.
David said, ‘Your word I have hidden in my heart, so I won’t sin against you…’ (Psalms 119:11). Hiding the Word in our hearts takes TIME. It comes from STUDY. It comes from shutting out distractions and digging into your word FOR YOURSELF and allowing the Holy Ghost to speak to YOU through the word. There IS no richer, more satisfying spiritual meal than the one you have prepared yourself!
I hear people talk all the time about going to church so their pastor can ‘feed’ them. And that sounds real good, religious, pious.
The problem is that most of what’s being taught in these churches today IS rotten milk. All you mothers know what a hassle it is to have to get up every two hours to breastfeed or bottle feed the baby. We know that baby’s appetite is insatiable-neverending-because that child is growing and needs MEAT. You keep giving milk to a 7 year old only, and I promise you, that child wont grow and will die!
But give it meat?
And the problem has been that the organized church system is not a producer of spiritual meat. It is set up so to keep the masses babes, unskilful in the word of righteousness. Why? SO THAT THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DISCERN GOOD AND EVIL!!!!
The devil does NOT want folks to discern a THING. He likes for you to keep thinking that discernment is this ethereal, invisible magic force that is given to you by the laying on of hands, or some other supernatural experience. ‘Girl, one day, prophet laid hands on me, and BAMMM! I got the gift of discernment!’
THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!
What you got was that prophet’s demons. Transference of spirits. You picked up a suspicious spirit, just like they got. But TRUE discernment you did NOT get!
Discernment is built up as you MATURE in God, as you get into HIS presence and let HIM reveal the Word to you…on a constant basis. The Spirit of God IS a teacher. He teaches you how to discern between good and evil.
And that ability does not come by osmosis or touch. That comes from your willingness to eat, digest and feast on the MEAT of the Word, on a continual basis.
And you must realize that meat takes time to go through our systems. It’s filling, stock full of protein. We won’t be hungry in two hours once we have feasted on a nice juicy steak!
If beef takes two weeks to get out of your system, how much more so would the WORD OF GOD?
In prophets in the bible didn’t get visits from God every day. He didn’t speak to them every day. THAT is what that scripture means that says ‘living from EVERY word that proceeds out of the mouth of God…’ A procession takes TIME. Just because we sit down here and ‘WAAAHHH, WAAAAHHH’ like a baby 24/7 for some milk every two hours does NOT mean God’s gonna give it to you…when YOU want it!
Babies do that.
But if you are a mature believer in God, then He expects you to patiently wait on HIM. If you’re seeking Him for some truth or revelation, or a word….then PATIENTLY do so. Patience, waiting on God, speaks to your FAITH. Without FAITH, it is impossible to please God. The answer to prayer hasn’t come yet, then WAIT ON IT. STOP stalking prophets, going broke attending prophetic conferences, staying up all hours of the night on conference calls….seeking a Word from the Lord!
Because the Spirit of Antichrist is waiting, to give you a false word!
A religious demon is always waiting on those folks who are so super spiritual that they always gotta have a word-EVERY DAY-from the Lord. READY to deceive and mislead!
And you would be the only one to blame, because your impatience, your seeking after a word, a sign, a wonder would have been the reason why the fake Jesus was invited to come into your heart and give you false words, miracles, direction, prophecies, etc.
God has given us 774,746 words in the Bible.
If you’re that hungry and desperate for a ‘word,’ then crack open that bible and ask for one.
It is NOT necessary to hear the audible voice of God every day. Don’t let ANYONE tell you that it is necessary.
Stop stalking prophets for a word. Pay your rent and stop going to these fake prophetic conferences. Stop giving these master prophets your whole paychecks in promises that you will be ‘blessed.’
When God gives you a word, take your time and chew on it. Let it digest in your spirit.
If direction is given in the word, then walk it OUT…act on it!
Let God continue to show you NEW revelation on what you perceive to be an ‘old word.’
EVERYTHING old is new….AGAIN!
Deliverance Depends Upon YOU…
02 Monday Apr 2012
Many in the organized church have their preconceived notions when it comes to deliverance. They have been to this deliverance team and that deliverance ministry. They have prayed this deliverance prayer from that website. They have fasted and prayed and went to the altar hundreds of times, seeking deliverance.
Some have even began to trust in the teachings and doctrines of famous preachers on spiritual warfare and deliverance-even though over the test of time, it has been found that those very teachings and doctrines from those famous preachers have proven ineffective…in the long run.
Many have went to this conference that promises you to be ‘loosed’ and that conference on spiritual warfare….only to leave still dealing with the same demons.
I know. I used to be one of the main ones…
That was until I began to wise up and realize that all of the prior ‘deliverance’ ministries, preachers, teachings, websites, books, CDs and DVDs, etc. weren’t working.
So I started digging into the Word of God for myself. I started allowing the HOLY GHOST to lead me…and He led me to Sheppard’s Counseling Center. Pam and her dedicated team of ministers helped me to ‘get my power back.’
This ministry is not for super spooky folks who are too proud to admit that years of erroneous religious indoctrination and brainwashing – even by the most famous of ministers and ministries – have been PROVEN to be ineffective. Its not for people who hold onto prior pentecostal and charismatic dogmas like a pitbull, unwilling to even examine themseslves AND the whole movement to see if it and they are of God or not. SCC is not for people who are too religious to be wrong.
If this describes you, SCC won’t help you. There are some things GOD HIMSELF are going to have to show you.
But if you don’t care about none of that…and are willing to go for broke and lay down EVERYTHING you have ever THOUGHT and BEEN TAUGHT about deliverance…to be TRULY delivered….to TRULY get your power back…and to gain skills to MAINTAIN your deliverance, then give us a call at 518-477-5759.

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. If 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.

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.

Are Bishops Needed Today????
30 Friday Mar 2012
Tags
NO!
Bishops are not needed in the Ekklesia. Just like butlers are not needed for a building that is about to be demolished.
If a building is condemned to be demolished, then what sense would it make to hire butlers and maids to come to the condemned building?
Likewise, bishops are NOT needed in the REAL church.
Birthing our Destinies? Or Demons?

By Wenona Russ
I was googling ‘Spiritual Midwives’ – expecting to see such greats such as Juanita Bynum, Cindy Trimm, or TD Jakes. This is in light of my last post about birthing Ishmaels/false conversions. And you will be surprised at what I found!
In my last post, I went into detail about birthing things that were of God, and birthing things that are NOT of God. We hear a LOT of talk about birthing our spiritual destinies. We hear people boast about being ‘spiritual midwives,’ in the church. I personally don’t remember hearing this term until maybe a decade or so ago. Well known preachers brought in this teaching and doctrine that THEY were needed to help ‘birth out’ the destiny of others. Supposedly, whatever the will of God is for our lives is so ‘hard’ to manifest on its own so now God needs the help and arm of flesh to bring about what HE has purposed and destined for our lives?
Let the Vision Come From Within You – Bishop TD Jakes
Really?
How presumptious. How arrogant. How prideful for us to think that God needs OUR help to do what HE wills to do in our lives!
And many jumped on the bandwagon because it sounded so religious and deep…never questioning where this concept or teaching came from.
Well, anyway…
I came across this lady named Ina May Gaskin. She came up with the term/phrase Spiritual Midwifery in the 1970s. She is considered the Mother of Midwifery. She started out a hippie trying to make the childbirth experience for mothers a more pleasant and intimate one; in the 60’s and before, women were put to sleep and woke up no longer pregnant. Without the ability to bond with their babies in those crucial moments immediately after birth.
Gaskin actually wrote a book entitled Spiritual Midwifery. I want you to read this excerpt from the book in the late 70s. You will be amazed!
“The following discussion on spiritual energy is based on observations made at more then 750 birthings. Every birth is Holy. I think that a midwife must be religious, because the energy she is dealing with is Holy. She needs to know that other people’s energy is sacred.
Spiritual midwifery recognize that each and every birth is the birth of the christ child. The vow of the midwife has to be that she will put out one hundred percent of her energy to the mother and the child that she is delivering until she is certain that they have safely made the passage. This means that she must put the welfare of the mother and child first…”
Do you see that?
This ‘Spiritual Midwifery’ thing we see being pushed in the church has its roots in the New Age. The whole concept of it worships the birth experience, even the child! She speaks of energy and religious…terminology very well known in the New Age movement. Take a look at other info found about spiritual midwifery at http://www.birthcenters.org:
“Spiritual Midwives are trained ministers of the seminary whose clairvoyant abilities are an essential ingredient in their spiritual counseling and healing with birthing families. They are trained professional spiritual counselors and spiritual healers. A spiritual midwife smoothes the way through prayer/meditation and spirit to spirit communication for the spirit to enter its body.”
Other spiritual midwives I found on the internet speak of their ‘spirit guides’ and operating in the 5th spiritual dimension….
We have been religiously taught that the birth of anything is wonderful, blessed..and holy. This concept was borrowed (YES, I SAID BORROWED) from witches serve the agenda of the enemy to copy God’s (and man’s) ability to create.
We have to know why we do what we do and where did these things originate from in the church? We have to ask the tough questions and make sure that what we are doing lines up with the Word of God.
These famous preachers were nothing more than instruments of satan to introduce doctrines of devils into the church.
Spiritual midwifery, birthing things in the spirit, is one of them.
Let’s stay prayerful in these end times. Let’s try the spirits BY THE SPIRIT and see if they be of GOD!
Shalom!
