I am happy to proclaim that I am a proud member of RESCUE, happy to be free of the religion that left me confused, in bondage, and chasing after false practices that have NOTHING to do with the truth that is found in the Gospel of Jesus Christ!!!

As someone who has been to so many different churches and has heard so many different doctrines and salvation gospels growing up, I find RESCUE to be a breath of fresh air. I was so confused, because I found that every church or denomination I attended preached a different gospel…I later found that NONE of those gospels that I heard were actually the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ, but rather watered down versions  of the real thing. 

Through my journey for truth, I found that most of the religious practices I had engaged in for so much of my life did nothing to draw me close to the Lord, but instead did EVERYTHING to steer me in the wrong direction, AWAY from the Lord. In the midst of seeking the “right” church, I was led to John 4, where Jesus explains to the Samaritan woman that the point is not so much WHERE you worship, but rather the importance of worshipping in SPIRIT and in TRUTH. 

In RESCUE, we preach the TRUE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. The Gospel is SIMPLE. JESUS CHRIST WAS CONCEIVED BY THE HOLY GHOST, BORN OF THE VIRGIN MARY, LIVED A SINLESS LIFE AS A HUMAN, DIED FOR THE SINFULNESS, THE WICKEDNESS OF WHO IAM, AND CAME BACK TO LIFE IN THE VERY SAME BODY THAT HE DIED IN!!! HE NOW SITS AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER IN A GLORIFIED HUMAN BODY! THAT IS IT! THAT IS THE GOSPEL!!! 

It is NOT complicated with a bunch of religious jargon. Nor is it complicated with false salvation gospels introduced to the organized church by a  minister by the name of Charles Finney, who introduced false  gospels of  the sinner’s prayer and the “I accept Jesus” doctrine that take the POWER of salvation away from Jesus Christ, which led to even more false doctrines and practices being infiltrated into the Institutional Church through ministers like, Charles Parham, William Seymour, and Billy Graham.T

The Lord has revealed to me that  the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is NOT found in the religion I had been exposed to for most of my life that is HEAVILY polluted by all kinds of false doctrines and gospels. Once I detoxed from religion, I was set free, and was able to receive a SOLID foundation, the ROCK of my salvation, built on the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and THAT ALONE.

“Truly my soul finds rest in God;
    my salvation comes from him.
Truly he is my rock and my salvation;
 he is my fortress, I will never be shaken.”

PSALM 62:1-2

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Living by the Spirit vs. the Flesh

In today’s society, what I see as the age of Laodicea, what people consider “Christian” is actually CARNALITY that exists in RELIGION. It is OF THE FLESH. It appeals to the DESIRES OF THE FLESH. The majority of the organized church consists of CARNAL people who consider themselves Christian and includes carnal practices that people engage in that they THINK are about God. Everything they do and practice is with a carnal mind. Everything they do in church is about THEM and the frivolous things of this world. Their minds consist of things that encourage them to be consumed by attaining everything on this earth. Every scripture in the Bible is somehow supposed to be for THEM. They are self-absorbed, thinking that somehow, in their self-absorption, they are serving God. Even the praise and worship is about SELF. They attempt to worship God in order to get some type of spiritual high…as if God is some kind of drug. They believe that every fleshly desire they have is supposed to be granted by God, as if God is a magical genie, just sitting around waiting to grant wishes.

They think that, if they just do this or that religious practice enough, and pray for it enough, then God will just wave his magic wand and giving them what they want, hence misinterpreting  Psalm 37:4, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart,” twisting it to mean that all they have to do is pretend to delight in the Lord by engaging in religious practices, and then POOF! God is going to go ahead and magically give them everything their hearts desire, when in actuality, in Psalm 37:4, the meaning of the scripture is quite the contrary. It actually means that when a person is delighting him/herself in the Lord, HIS desires will become THEIR desires…it is about the Lord changing a person, making him/her a new creation, desiring what the Lord would desire so that he/she can be more like HIM. But most people in the organized church don’t get this because they are CARNAL “Christians.”

Romans 8:7 explains this succinctly, yet quite well. “Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.”

The CARNAL MIND IS AT ENMITY WITH GOD. What does enmity mean? It means “the state or feeling of being actively opposed or hostile to someone or something.”   So what does this tell you about church and religion?

As for me, everything I did and thought about used to be carnal…yet I considered myself a Christian. Truth is, I didn’t know the FIRST THING about living a life dedicated to the Lord. The Lord showed me that I was NOT born again. I was so carnal that my motivation for being saved was because I wanted to go to heaven. Folks, if you think like this, THAT IS CARNAL. Salvation is about the LORD. Godly sorrow is just that…GODLY SORROW. Sorrow for the Lord. Anybody who simply said a sinner’s prayer, responded to an alter call, joined a church, or chased after God out of fear of going to hell is led by CARNAL DESIRES. THOSE THINGS DO NOT SAVE YOU.  I only used him when I wanted him. I used to want to be saved because it benefited ME…nevermind the power of the cross, and the incredible sacrifice Jesus Christ of Nazareth made…nevermind the heartless crucifixtion he had to endure…the SPOTLESS LAMB…because I, in my nature am so wicked and evil that I could not save myself. The Lord had to SHOW me the wickedness of who I am…not just what I did. It was then that I realized that salvation is  not about focusing on what we did and how miserable our lives are (like the churches falsely teach), but rather the wickedness of WHO WE ARE…THAT WE ARE SO CARNAL MINDED THAT EVERYTHING WE DO IS CENTERED AROUND US, and that it is a PRVILEGE to be called to salvation…NOT, “Oh, my life is so miserable, I don’t want to go to hell, so I am just going to do some fleshly thing to choose God.” HOW DISRESPECTFUL IS THAT???!!!

When the Lord CALLED me to salvation, I did NOT choose. The Holy Spirit blew on me and showed me the POWER of the cross and resurrection. HE CHANGED ME. I DID NOT HAVE TO DO ANYTHING…NO ALTER CALLS, NO SINNERS PRAYER, NO SPEAKINGIN TONGUES, NO “DECISION-MAKING..” HE SIMPLY SAVED ME. Hearing the true Gospel of Jesus Christ was all it took. The TRUE Gospel that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the virgin Mary, he is GOD, who came to earth in the form of Jesus Christ, he lived a sinless human life, shed his blood and died for the WICKEDNESS of humanity, and CAME BACK TO LIFE IN THE SAME BODY HE DIED IN, AND IS NOW ALIVE TODAY, IN HEAVEN, SITTING AT THE RIGHT HAND OF THE FATHER. THAT WAS IT. No religious mumbo jumbo. Just the Gospel. When I heard that, the Holy Spirit did the rest and re-birthed my spirit. I can CONFIDENTLY stand here today and say that I know the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the Lord saved me!!!! And IT WAS NOT IN SOME FLESHLY, RELIGIOUS CHURCH!!!! Now that I AM truly born again, any personal desires for me are no more. I have no desires of my own, but to serve the Lord, and live my life on this earth, while I’m here…nothing extra. I don’t expect anything, nor do I feel that I deserve anything. I live in peace daily, and am not bogged down by the weight of this world singing CARNAL gospel songs that do NOTHING for my spirit, and do NOTHING to uplift the Lord, but rather put the focus on self and fleshly desires.

Yes, there are a few songs that actually DO focus on the Lord and on the Gospel, but most of those songs are about the FLESH. THAT, MY FRIENDS, IS THE BONDAGE OF RELIGION. And I am happy to be free of religion. Oh, I have MUCH MORE TO WRITE ABOUT THIS!  This is just the tip of the iceberg. You aint see NOTHIN YET!

A friend of mine couldn’t have said it better: “Religion teaches people to seek personal destinies and it is another false perception of God. People think that God waves a wand of fulfilling fleshly desires and so they do not understand that the true focus is not our own.”

So how about YOU? Do you have your OWN destiny? Do you focus on carnal desires, yet profess to be a Christian? If so, are you willing to give up your desires in order to TRULY understand what it means to live a life revolved around the Lord?

This post is not for the haughty, religious folks whose only effort is to try to prove to me that they are “saved,” or to try to debunk what I am saying, as a means to engage in meaningless, religious arguments.

NO. This post is for those whom the Lord is calling OUT of the organized church system, and who are humble enough to consider that something may be wrong with the religion that they thought was their avenue to God. It is for those who are courageous enough to DARE to DETOX themselves from everything religion has taught them, in an effort to find the TRUE God, and NOT some sorry religious copy.

Can YOU Recognize False Doctrine in Church?

false-doctrine

With all that is going on with the election, and with other catastrophic events going on around the world, it is obvious to me that we are in the last days…the age of Laodicea.

One problem: While people may notice obvious, outward signs that something is wrong in our world, they don’t readily notice that something is TERRIBLY wrong in today’s churches. It is like people are ZOMBIES…going to church without a CLUE that the devil is among them. Are those church practices really from God? Or are they just THAT…CHURCH PRACTICES??? Why are there so many salvation doctrines? Why so many denominations? How about TITHING? How about the phenomenon of TODAY’S version of speaking in tongues? What’s up with the prosperity gospel teaching folks that chasing after money and greed is God’s will, when the Bible clearly states that the LOVE of money is the root of all evil? Or, how about outright OCCULTIC practices being performed RIGHT IN THE CHURCH…A PLACE THAT PEOPLE SAY WHERE GOD’S SPIRIT DWELLS? Can a bad tree bring forth good fruit?

Do you have thoughts about things like this a lot? Are YOU concerned about the state of the churches today? Does it BOTHER YOU that evil is happening in the churches, yet people continue to proclaim they are houses of God? Do you know the difference between RELIGION AND TRUTH? Do you have a problem with organized religion, and see it as something that interferes with you connecting with God? Are you constantly turned OFF by the idea of attending church? Are you turned off by religion? Do you notice that a lot of the practices within the churches seem strange, unbiblical, and detracting from or adding to sound doctrine?

Praying In the Spirit and Whooping by Pam Sheppard

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

IMG_1066

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

“Protecting The Will Of God?”

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?
