MORE LAST DAYS DECEPTION

An excellent article was sent to me on the 24th December and I felt it was important to put on this blog.  Very much in line with my own observations within the Church....

May you share this word by Dave Hunt of The Berean Call amongst fellow believers.


John, as ever reporting.

Christmas as generally celebrated today is one of many carry-overs from Roman Catholicism that survived the Reformation. Historian Will Durant reminds us that Roman Catholicism grew out of the merger between paganism and Christianity which took place under Constantine in the early 300s. Commenting upon the resulting "Christianization" of the Roman Empire , which Reconstructionists such as Coalition on Revival (COR) director Jay Grimstead look back to fondly as a model of what they hope to achieve, Durant wrote:

Paganism survived...in the form of ancient rites and customs condoned...by an often indulgent Church....Statues of Isis and Horus were renamed Mary and Jesus...the Saturnalia [Festival of Saturn in celebration of the winter solstice] was replaced by Christmas celebration... [I]ncense, lights, flowers, processions, vestments...which had pleased the people in older [pagan] cults were domesticated and cleansed in the Ritual of the Church....

In spite of its pagan/Roman Catholic origins and crass commercialization, we can rejoice that Christmas annually brings a reminder of the Savior's birth. Unfortunately, however, Christmas festivities generally perpetuate the confusion concerning who Jesus Christ really is, why He came and what He accomplished. This is not surprising, considering the misunderstandings even among His own disciples at the first advent—and the far greater confusion which the Bible warns will precede His second coming. Indeed, the whole world—including millions of "Christians"—will follow and worship the Antichrist, convinced that he is the true Christ.

Christmas celebrations remind us that the same misunderstandings which prevented so many from recognizing Christ when He came to earth will prevail when He returns. The causes of confusion 1,900 years ago remain the key issues today: What is the Messiah's true mission—and the nature of His kingdom? When, how and by whom will the Kingdom be established—and what is its relationship to Israel and the church? Many "Christians" today are blind in the same way as those early "disciples" who turned from Christ because He didn't meet their false messianic expectations.

Even John the Baptist became so disillusioned that he demanded of Christ, "Art thou he that should come, or look we for another?" (Mat:11:3). Such doubts seem impossible for the one whom God had sent to "prepare the way of the Lord"! Already filled with the Holy Spirit as a six-month old embryo, John had leaped in the womb of his mother Elizabeth upon hearing the voice of the virgin Mary, who had just learned that she would give birth to the Son of God. Called and inspired of God to be the "forerunner of the Messiah," John testified, "He that sent me to baptize...said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he...and I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God" (Jn:1:33-34). Confident in that supernatural revelation, John boldly declared, " Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world! " (Jn:1:29). Yet the day came when, in despair, he sent two disciples to ask Christ whether He really was the Messiah after all!

Although given supernatural revelation as to His identity, John totally misunderstood Christ's mission. Hadn't the prophets said that the Messiah would set up His kingdom and reign in Jerusalem ? Then why was he , the herald of the Messiah, in prison! John did not understand that Christ had come to die for our sins so that both Jew and Gentile, united in one church, could go to heaven. Nor did he comprehend that there had to be a Second Coming.

So it was with the disciples in the Garden of Gethsemane . Amazed, they watched the One whom they thought had all power, as, seemingly powerless, He was arrested, bound and led away. Obviously Jesus of Nazareth couldn't be the Messiah after all! Dreams shattered, they fled for their lives. Likewise the two on the road to Emmaus: "We trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel ...[but they] crucified him!" (Lk 24:19-24). His death, which we recognize today is the very heart of the gospel and without which we have no life, convinced Christ's contemporaries that He could not possibly be the Messiah, the Savior of the world.

"If he be the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will believe him!" (Mat:27:40-44) was the jeering taunt of the bloodthirsty mob and the religious leaders gloating at the foot of His cross. "If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us!" echoed one of the thieves hanging beside him. Whom He came to save, from what, to what, and how was clearly not understood at the time by anyone—not even by His closest disciples.

When Christ tried to explain that He must die for the sins of the world, Peter rebuked Him for being so "negative." Yet Peter, only moments before, had declared by revelation from the Father that Jesus was the Christ (Mat:16:16-17). Obviously he didn't understand the Messiah's mission, even though he knew who He was. "Get thee behind me, Satan!" (Mat:16:22-23). Christ had retorted quickly to Peter, showing the importance He put upon correcting such a gross misunderstanding of His mission.

So it was with those in Jerusalem (Jn:2:23-25) who "believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did." They believed He was the Messiah but had a false view of what that meant. "Jesus did not commit himself unto them" because He knew what was in their hearts and that they would not believe the truth. We see the same error in those in John 6, who, because Christ had healed and fed them, wanted to "take him by force to make him [their] king" (Jn:6:15). There were many who called themselves His "disciples" (today they would be called "Christians") who had a false view of the Messiah, and when He tried to explain the truth to them, would not hear it but "went back and walked no more with him" (Jn:6:66).

We learn from Christ how to handle the multitudes who want to follow Him for the wrong reasons. We must do today what He did then. Many came "forward" to tell Jesus they believed in Him and would follow Him faithfully. Contrary to today's methods, Christ didn't have His disciples quickly sign up such persons as "church members" before they changed their minds, and get them involved in the choir or some committee in order to keep them active in the church. "The foxes have holes and the birds have nests, but I have nowhere to lay my head" (Mat:8:20). Jesus told the eager would-be converts. "Are you certain you really want to follow me?" Such "negativism"!

"So you want to follow Me?" Christ would say. "Then let Me tell you where we're going. I'm heading for a hill outside Jerusalem called Calvary where they'll nail Me to a cross. So if you would be faithful to Me to the end, you might as well make up your mind: take up your cross right now, and follow Me, because that's where we're going!"

Today we're far too sophisticated to present the gospel in such negative terms. We've studied success motivation, psychology and Dale Carnegie courses in "How to Win Friends and Influence People" and consider such new techniques to be ideal for "winning people to Christ." So we fill the churches with multitudes who imagine that Christ's mission is to make them feel good about themselves by building up their self-esteem, answering their selfish prayers and fulfilling their self-centered agendas.

The Reconstruction/Kingdom/Dominionists are more confused than John the Baptist, though their error is similar. They refuse to walk in the rejection of Christ, bearing the reproach of His cross, because that would be "defeatism." They imagine we're in the millennial kingdom already and are supposed to act like "King's kids." They think it is our task to establish that Kingdom through taking "dominion" over the media, educational institutions and political leadership. The "signs and wonders" promoters, from Oral Roberts to John Wimber, imagine they are in the process of taking dominion over all disease and even over death itself without the resurrection and return of Christ.

It is all very positive, and ecumenical. Christian lobbyists such as Bob Grant of Christian Voice and the American Freedom Coalition in Washington , D.C. are willing to work with Moonies and Mormons and all others who are in favor of bringing traditional values back to America . And at Christmas time once again, being able to publicly display a cross or a creche in public becomes a rallying point—a very low common denominator indeed for ecumenical agreement. In defense of such folly, Christian leaders stoutly defend the correctness of working with all those "who call Jesus Lord." Seemingly forgotten are the words of Christ: "Many will say to me... Lord, Lord, have we not...in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me..." (Mat:7:22-23). There are multitudes, such as Mormons and Catholics (to say nothing of many Baptists, Lutherans, Methodists, et al.) who call Jesus "Lord" but are not saved.

On October 17, Paul and Jan Crouch welcomed three Catholics to their "Praise the Lord" program, two priests and a woman lay leader. Paul displayed his usual naiveté and incredible ignorance of theology by smoothing over any differences between Protestants and Catholics as "simply matters of semantics." In his eager embrace of Transubstantiation, a heresy so great that thousands died at the stake rather than accept it, he declared: "Well, we [Protestants] believe the same thing. So you see one of these things that has divided us all of these years [Transubstantiation] shouldn't have divided us all along because we were really meaning the same thing but just saying it a little differently....I[am] eradicating the word "Protestant" even out of my vocabulary. ...I'm not protesting anything anymore...it is....time for Catholics and non-Catholics to come together as one in the Spirit and one in the Lord." But Catholics have a different gospel of salvation by works and ritual through the essential mediation of that Church.

Christmas, with its emphasis upon "baby Jesus," tends to perpetuate another serious Catholic heresy: the pernicious myth of Christ's subservience to His mother which Roman Catholicism has deliberately promoted for centuries. Mary certainly should be called "blessed" as the mother of our Lord—but she is not "Co-Mediatrix and "Co-Redemptrix" as Romanism teaches. In Catholic cathedrals throughout the world, for example, one quickly notices that the paintings, statuary and stained glass give Mary the dominant role. She is even at times shown on the cross as our Redeemer. Jesus is either a helpless babe on His mother's breast, a small child between her knees, or a lifeless victim of the Cross in her arms. Never is she in subjection to Him, and rarely if ever is He shown in the triumph of His resurrection. She is the "Queen of Heaven," where Jesus remains a child subject to her direction.

Typical is the beautiful thirteenth-century stained-glass window we recently observed in a church in France . At the top are the words Le Pergatoire , indicating that it is a depiction of "purgatory." Mary and Jesus are shown on a cloud (i.e., in heaven), with the tormented souls in the flames of purgatory below them, arms extended upward in supplication. Are they crying out to Christ for help? No, they are appealing to Mary. She wears the regal crown.

And Jesus, the Lord of Glory, who triumphed over Satan at the Cross and now sits at the right hand of the Father—how is He depicted? As a child about seven years old, standing between the "Queen of Heaven's" knees! No wonder the souls in "purgatory" do not appeal to Him for help. At the bottom of the beautiful stained-glass depiction of this abomination are the words: Mère Marie, sauvez nous! ("Mother Mary, save us!")

Such heresy does not originate in the imaginations of the artists but in tradition and dogma not only tolerated but promoted by the Roman Catholic Church. The fear of purgatory is very real to a Catholic, and "Mary" has provided an escape for those faithful to her. She allegedly appeared to St. Simon Stock on July 16, 1251 and gave him what is known as "The Great Promise": "Whosoever dies wearing this Scapular [two pieces of brown cloth containing Mary's promise on one, her picture with "Baby Jesus" on the other, worn one in front, one in back, connected over the shoulder by two strings] shall not suffer eternal fire." Like the Mormon's magic underwear, the Catholic's scapular will supposedly accomplish what the death, burial and resurrection of Christ could not. In 1322, Pope John XXII received a further promise from "Mary" known as "The Sabbatine Privilege": "I, the Mother of Grace, shall descend on the Saturday after their death and whomsoever I shall find in Purgatory [who died wearing the scapular], I shall free." St. Simon Stock's famous prayer ends thus: "O Sweet Heart of Mary, be our salvation !"

Christmas offers a rare opportunity to share the true gospel of Jesus Christ and to expose and correct the ecumenical and confused picture it presents annually to the world. Millions are seduced into thinking they are Christians because they have a sentimental feeling for the "baby Jesus." Let us remember what Christ said to those who believed on Him: "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (Jn:8:31-32). It is that truth which we are called upon to proclaim in clarity and power.

THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT A LITTLE LEVEN (POISON) FERMENTS THE ENTIRE LUMP.....   Lets be very careful of deception from every source...   Have a blessed Holiday Season and a Good New Year     David

MEDIA PROPAGANDA AGAINST ISRAEL

THIS IS CURRENT 'SLANTED' INFORMATION MAKING ISRAEL SEEM LIKE THE BIG BAD WOLF...WHEN IN FACT IT IS THE ISLAMIC HATRED THAT CAUSES ALL THE PROBLEMS AS WE HAVE SEEN IN AFGANISTAN, IRAQ, IRAN, EGYPT, LIBIYA, SYRIA and so on....and yet the Media always seem to blame the JEWS and ISRAEL...

Here we go...a report today on Yahoo and Sky and Euronews.

A toddler has been killed and his two brothers wounded in the latest Israeli airstrike on Gaza, emergency services said.


The 18-month-old Palestinian boy died in a strike east of the Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza, spokesman Adham Abu Selmiya told the AFP news agency.

Health ministry spokesman Ashraf al Qudra said the two wounded boys, aged four and five, were "in critical condition".

The bombardment of Gaza by Israel entered a new phase overnight, with Israel shelling the Palestinian territory from the sea, as well as continuing its airstrikes.

The latest bombings come as Egypt's President suggested that there could be a ceasefire soon - and a Palestinian official said this morning that a truce is possible "today or tomorrow".

Mr Morsi said: "There are now intensive efforts through communication channels with the Palestinian side and with the Israeli side and there are now some indications that there is possibility of a ceasefire soon between the two sides."

Forty-eight Palestinians, about half of them civilians, including 13 children, have now been killed in Israel's raids, Palestinian officials said.

Militants in Gaza resumed firing rockets into Israel this morning, with at least one landing in Ashkelon in southern Israel.

More than 500 rockets fired from Gaza have hit Israel since the recent violence flared on Wednesday, killing three people and injuring dozens.

Two buildings housing local Arab media in Gaza were among the targets in the latest airstrikes.

Among the buildings hit was a media centre housing the offices of al Quds TV, often a voicepiece for Hamas. Three journalists were wounded.

Both buildings also contained offices used by foreign journalists, including Sky News.

"I think that this demonstrates just how dangerous and complex with aerial bombardment is," said Sky's Sam Kiley.

Two other pre-dawn attacks on houses in the Jebalya refugee camp killed one child and wounded 12 other people, medical officials said. These attacks followed a defiant statement by Hamas military spokesman Abu Ubaida.

"This round of confrontation will not be the last against the Zionist enemy and it is only the beginning."

The masked gunman dressed in military fatigues insisted that despite Israel's blows Hamas "is still strong enough to destroy the enemy".

On Saturday Israeli aircraft bombed Hamas government buildings in Gaza, including the offices of Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and a police headquarters.

Israel has said it will keep schools in its southern region closed as a precaution to avoid casualties from rocket strikes, which have reached as far as Tel Aviv and Jerusalem in the past few days.

Israel unleashed its massive air campaign on Wednesday, killing a leading militant of the Hamas Islamist group that controls Gaza and rejects Israel's existence.

Israel says it is trying to stop militants in the coastal enclave from launching rockets that have plagued its southern communities for years.

The Jewish state has since launched more than 950 air strikes since Wednesday.

AND A COMMUNICATION FROM A MESSANIC JEWISH WOMAN LIVING IN ISRAEL

This Shabbat's prophetic portion (haftarah) speaks into a similar situation to the one we face now with Gaza. We [the intercessors]read from that and then praised God because of who He is - regardless of the events of the day.

The burden of the Word of YHWH to Israel by Malachi. I have loved you, says YHWH. But you say, How have You loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? Says YHWH; yet I loved Jacob, and I hated Esau and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance to be for the jackals of the wilderness. Edom says, we are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places. Yet YHWH of Hosts declares, they shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them the border of wickedness, the people with whom YHWH is indignant forever. And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, YHWH will be magnified from [and/or beyond] the border of Israel.

Malachi 1:1-5

We thank and praise YOU for being ever faithful to watch over YOUR word to do it (Jeremiah 1:12).

We take comfort in the fact that YOU are all-knowing and that there are never any crises in heaven.

Not to us, YHWH, not to us, but to YOUR name give glory, for Your mercy and for Your truth's sake. Why should the nations say, Where now is their God? But our God is in Heaven; He has done whatever He has pleased.

Psalms 115:1-3

The IDF's Operation Pillar of Cloud [the name is taken from Exodus 13:21-22], is a response to a huge numbers of various attacks from Islamic terror groups in Gaza. The operation started four days ago with the targeted assassination of Hamas' military leader who had much blood on his hands. It has continued with Israeli Air Force and Navy strikes. Hamas and other terrorist groups have responded by the firing of hundreds of rockets against the citizens of southern Israel. A few missiles landed very close to Tel Aviv, and one even hit the surroundings of Jerusalem last night. Israel could be sending in ground troops by the time you read this and that will make this operation very messy and more deadly - to both sides. In line with 1 Timothy 2:1-2, we prayed first for those in authority in the government.

Lord, we lift up the arms of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defence Minister Ehud Barak.

Help them walk in one accord and receive wisdom from YOU concerning what Israel needs to do.

Bring government leaders into a unity in purpose and a desire to protect the Israeli people.

May You be glorified in all that goes on by having Your will done on earth as it is already settled in heaven (Matthew 6:9-10).

Lord, forbid the upcoming Israeli elections to intervene with Israel's leaders' decisions concerning how to run this operation.

Abba, YOU have raised up Netanyahu for just a time like this. Therefore, make him a statesman and do not allow political gain or lose impact his decisions.

Reveal to Israeli leaders YOUR goals for this time and YOUR plans on how to accomplish them.

A man's heart plans his way, but YHWH directs his steps.

Proverbs 16:9

There are many thoughts in a man's heart, but the counsel of YHWH shall stand.

Proverbs 19:21

Enable clear communication between Israel's governmental leaders and the leaders of its army.

Dampen all contradictory voices that would seek to take personal/political advantage of this operation - especially in the Israeli media and in the political opposition.

We then prayed for the leadership of the Israeli Defence Forces, the IDF, to receive the mantle from on high to lead the army in this time of crisis.

Abba, we do not trust in the Israeli IDF - but in the heavenly IDF - Israel's Divine Father!

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses; but we will remember the name of YHWH our God. They have bowed down and fallen; but we have risen and stand upright. Save, O YHWH; let the King hear us when we call.

Psalms 20:7-9

Hear the Word of YHWH, nations, and declare it in the coastlands afar off, and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him and keep [guard] him, as a shepherd keeps his flock.

Jeremiah 31:10

Yeshua, Lord of the hosts of heaven, give the IDF leaders unity of purpose and courage.

Enable them to quickly adapt to changing scenarios on the battlefield.

Impart YOUR plans that will stand in the face of chaotic battle situations.

Rise up the wise advisors and remove all false or deceived ones from the ranks of the IDF leadership.

Purposes are established by counsel; and with good advice make war.

Proverbs 20:18; cp. 24:6

Like YOU gave to King David, give current IDF leaders an ability to hear and respond to Your specific directions (1 Chronicles 14:14-15).

We next prayed for the courage, protection and skills of the rest of the IDF.

Be strong and of a good courage. Do not fear nor be afraid of them. For YHWH your God is He who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.

Deuteronomy 31:6

We ask for YOUR covering to be on all of Israel's soldiers, sailors, pilots and spies.

Use them all to deal a debilitating blow to the terror organizations that thrive in Gaza.

They have prepared a net for my steps… they have dug a pit before me, into which they have fallen.

Psalms 57:6

Impart courage and wisdom to the mid-to-low level commanders throughout the IDF.

Protect and use the believers in the IDF for Your purposes.

Rise up more Messianic Jews to positions of influence.

Lord, Hamas said this past week that by assassinating their top military leader, Israel opened up the gates of hell. We say that the gates of hell will not prevail against Your Church (Matthew 16:18) - and since we are a growing remnant in Israel, those gates will not prevail against YOUR nation either.

We turned our focus in prayer to the people of Israel. The situation for the citizens in the south has been hellacious for many years now. Although there are very few deaths from the terrorist rocket fire, yet there are many injuries to one's emotional, mental and physical person. Some of these might never be healed and will impact negatively many of these Israelis and a whole future generation that has been traumatized for a decade.

Throughout Your Word, You say to the children of Israel, Fear not! Speak that to YOUR people in the night seasons, during the missile attacks, and many times during the day.

Father of all comfort; give YOUR divine comfort and courage to the children and teens.

Comfort all who have already lost loved ones and/or who are suffering from the terror they have had to endure during all these years.

We bless and thank YOU that the majority of this nation is standing in one accord with the government and this IDF operation. Continue to keep this nation unified.

Abba, use these times of tension and fear to draw many to Your Son Yeshua (John 6:44)

Anoint leaders of synagogues and messianic congregations to know what to say and what not to say.

Give Rabbis an ability to speak truth and turn their flocks to look to YOU.

Wake up the liberal left-wing to the reality of what Israel faces and confront them to take responsibility for this situation because of their support for the Gaza disengagement.

Protect supernaturally all of the communities bordering on Gaza.

We confessed, No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, and their righteousness is from ME, says YHWH. (Isaiah 54:17)

The two areas in which Israel seems to always lose the battle is in diplomacy and public relations. There are so many lies in the media, in governments and in the spirit realm, about Israel and her reasons for battling Hamas, or restricting what goes into Gaza, that it will take a miracle for most of the world's population to see this current operation as anything more than further Israeli aggression. Yet we believe in miracles.

Ah, Lord YHWH! You have made the heavens and the earth by YOUR great power and stretched out arm. Nothing is too great for YOU.

Jeremiah 32:17

Behold, I am YHWH, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for ME?

Jeremiah 32:27

Give much wisdom and revelation to those who are leading the fight to explain Israel's situation to the world at large.

Anoint PM Netanyahu and Public Diplomacy Minister Yuli Edelstein to take advantage of all media interviews to speak the truth boldly.

Use Israel's ambassadors in the nations and to the UN to state the facts clearly and openly - without the fear of man infecting them in any way (Proverbs 29:25a).

Enable Israel's use of social media to reach the younger generation - and even many in the Arab and Muslim worlds.

We thank YOU that up to this point, the US and Canada are standing behind the IDF operation (in fact, even the British foreign minister seems to understand!).

Because of the IDF moving many of its troops and equipment south - to the area around Gaza - the northern border might look enticing to Israel's enemies.

Lord, we ask for YOU to protect Israel's northern border.

Do not permit any attacks from either Hezbollah in Lebanon or Assad in Syria - unless it is absolutely YOU drawing them into YOUR trap (Isaiah 37:29)!

Keep the soldiers in the north - many of whom will be reservists - alert and protected.

Forbid any successful kidnapping attempts.

Give the IDF wisdom concerning the deployment of all of its troops.

Let the priests, the ministers of YHWH, weep between the porch and the altar, and pray, Spare YOUR people, O YHWH. Give not YOUR inheritance to reproach… Why should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then YHWH will be jealous for His land and pity His people. Yes, YHWH will answer and say to His people, Behold… I will no more make you a curse among the nations. But I will remove the northern army far from you, and will drive him into a barren and deserted land… Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice. For YHWH will do great things.

Joel 2:17-21

We ended by praying for the Israeli Messianic Body, and the worldwide Body of Messiah.

Yeshua, pour out YOUR burden on Your Body for this weekend.

Anoint Arab believers to know how to pray at this time.

Help us all too always and only pray in line with YOUR will.

Therefore let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober-minded.

1 Thessalonians 5:6

But the end of all things has drawn near. Therefore be sober-minded, watch and pray.

1 Peter 4:7

Blessings, peace and Shabbat shalom from Zion

You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on YOU; because he trusts in YOU. Trust in YHWH forever; for in the Yah YHWH is everlasting strength. Isaiah 26:3-4

END OF COMMUNICATION

My position on this is that I do not believe that WAR ever solves anything…in fact it just hardens the enemy against the other side.

In this case I know that Israel is a special land to our Lord Yahweh and that the descendants of Abraham…Israelites have the right to the land and they should be allowed to live in peace. In fact they have Arabs living in their Nation and treat them better than they would be treated in Arab lands. The Western Media fuel this hatred as it suits their agenda of anti- Semitism.

So I pray for BLESSINGS & PEACE upon Jerusalem

IS AMERICA BEING JUDGED?


The Presidental Showtime is over, so will things get better?
The same President has been voted back in office, so what is he going to do in the wake of the terrible events occurring to this Nation?

Obviously no one likes to see terrible disasters hitting Nations and the misery it causes for Millions of people. Our thoughts certainly go out to people caught up in these nasty events. However this question needs to be asked.


The Sandy 'Super-storm' was the worst ever recorded on the East Coast and the financial centre of the USA - was just one in a long line of "historic" catastrophes to hit the United States in the last 11 years. It follows right on the heels of one of the worst droughts ever recorded in America which occurred this summer - the most severe in more than half a century.

Quite a number of Christians are now asking whether the Lord has lifted His hand of protection off the USA and especially since September 9th 2011. Below is an astonishing list of major disasters that have occurred one after the other in America since that awful event in 2001….

2001 - TWIN TOWERS - The worst ever attack on American soil. The most shocking and devastating event in US living memory

2005 - HURRICANE KATRINA - The most destructive and expensive hurricane in US history.

2007 - MASSACRE AT VIRGINIA TECH - The worst school shooting in the history of the United States.

2007 - HOUSING CRISIS - Start of the worst (by far) housing crash in US history. Millions lose their homes across the nation.

2008 - FINANCIAL PANIC - The beginning of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. (still on-going).

2011 - TORNADO OUTBREAK - The largest outbreak of tornadoes ever recorded (Also the costliest and most devastating).

2012 - DROUGHT - The worst and most extensive US drought in more than half a century.

2012 - SUPER-STORM - A 1000-mile-wide hurricane that slams into New York and the East Coast harder than any ever recorded.

QUESTION - Is God allowing this terrible shaking in order to wake the nation from its deadly spiritual slumber? There was a time when America spread righteousness in the earth. But today the USA is the # 1 exporter of pornography and youth rebellion and homosexuality to the whole world. Does this have anything to do with what is happening? She has exported Coca Cola, McDonalds, Burger King and many other fast food operations that many of us would label Junk Food and along with that has been the Junk life style as well.

America is the ‘leader’ in so many things. Are there other reasons why she might be under judgment? (It is not that the USA is ‘worse’ than many other nations - but rather that she is a 'leader' in World events and influencing the whole earth with these things. It is this place of "leadership" that makes America a unique case).

Despite all the prayers from well-meaning religious groups, the US continues its slide into even more God dis-honouring practices and moral breakdown.

Great Empires of the past gradually fell apart because of similar lifestyles and ignoring of the ONLY TRUE GOD.

The Country will not improve until it REPENTS for what it has done to its own people and the World it influences. OUR LORD GOD WILL NOT BE MOCKED

Keep praying that the Lord will give the commanding call soon.

Bless you



David

THE DANGEROUS ECUMENICAL PATHWAY OF HERESY


Many Churches, Charismatic, Pentecostal, Evangelical and ‘Free Churches’ have been trying to bring about a ONE WORLD CHURCH that accepts and respects each other .

This sentiment sounds very good, so what does this involve in reality?

Here is a brief summary of what Ecumenicalism (joining together) really is.

Quote:

“The general understanding of the ecumenical movement is that it came from the Roman Catholic Church's attempts to reconcile with Christians who had become separated over theological issues. After World War 1 the Roman Catholic Church was not the only church which began to make changes within their denomination. The world war had brought much devastation to many people. The church became a source of hope to those in need. In 1948 the first meeting of the World Council of Churches took place. Despite the fact that the meeting had been postponed due to World War 2, the council took place in Amsterdam with the theme of “Man’s Disorder and God’s Design”. The focus of the church and the council following the gathering was on the damage created by the 2nd World War. The council and the movement went forward to continue the efforts of uniting the church globally around the idea of helping all those in need whether it be a physical, emotional, or spiritual need. The movement led to an understanding amongst the churches that despite difference they could join together to be an element of great change in the world. To be an agent of hope and peace amongst the chaos and destruction that humans seem to create. More importantly the council and the movement lead to not only ecumenism but to the forming of councils amongst the denominations that connected churches across continental lines”.

Therefore the Roman Church and others have been trying to foster ‘harmony out of chaos’ so that they can ‘bring the heretics back into the fold’ of the one and only Mother Church.

So how did the Roman Catholic Church get its start?

The Roman Catholic Church claims to have started in Matthew 16:18 when Christ supposedly appointed Peter as the first Pope. However, the honest and objective student of the Scriptures and history soon discovers that the foundation of the Roman church is none other than a ‘Christianisation of the pagan religions of Rome’ and is referred to in the book of Revelation as the mystery religion of ancient Babylon.

While enduring the early persecutions of the Roman government (65-300 A.D.), most of professing Christianity went through a gradual departure from New Testament doctrine concerning church government, worship and practice. Local churches ceased to be autonomous by giving way to the control of "bishops" ruling over hierarchies. The simple form of worship from the heart was replaced with the rituals and splendour of paganism. Ministers became "priests," and pagans became "Christians" by simply being sprinkled with water. This tolerance of an unregenerate membership only made things worse.

The Roman Emperor Constantine established himself as the head of the church ‘Pontifex Maximus’ around 313 A.D., which made this new "Christianity" the official religion of the Roman Empire. The first actual Pope in Rome was most probably Leo I (440-461 A.D.), although some claim that Gregory I was the first (590-604 A.D.). This ungodly system eventually ushered in the darkest satanic BLOOD SPILLING period of history known to man, known as the "Dark Ages" (500-1500 A.D.). Through popes, bishops, and priests, Satan ruled Europe and Biblical Christianity became illegal. Faithful men of God who tried to translate the Bible into the language of the people were brutally tortured and killed. This new satanic religion killed Jews (Christ’s brothers) and waged war on any Nation or group who opposed their wicked apostate religion.

Throughout all of this, however, there remained individual groups of true Christians, such as the Waldensens and the Anabaptists who would not conform to the Roman system.

The Papacy and Priesthood

In the Bible there are no popes or priests to rule over the church. Jesus Christ is our High Priest (Heb. 3:1; 4:14-15; 5:5; 8:1; 9:11), and all true Christians make up a spiritual priesthood (I Pet. 2:5). Jesus Christ has sanctified all Christians who believe on Him (Heb. 10:10-11), so all priests today are unnecessary and unscriptural. Furthermore, the practice of calling a priest "father" is forbidden by Jesus Christ in Matthew 23:9. There is only ONE mediator between God and men (I Tim. 2:5).

The Catholic Church teaches that Peter was the first Pope and the earthly head of the church, but the Bible never says this once. In fact, it was Peter himself who spoke against "being lords over God's heritage" in I Peter 5:3. Popes do not marry, although Peter did (Mat. 8:14; I Cor. 9:5). The Bible never speaks of Peter being in Rome, and it was Paul, not Peter, who wrote the epistle to the Romans. In the New Testament, Paul wrote 100 chapters with 2,325 verses, while Peter wrote only 8 chapters with 166 verses. In Peter's first epistle he stated that he was simply "an apostle of Jesus Christ," not a Pope (I Pet. 1:1). The Roman papacy and priesthood is just a huge deception to keep members in bondage to a corrupt pagan church.

The Worship of Mary

Roman Catholics believe that Mary, the mother of Jesus, remained a virgin after the birth of Jesus and was sinless all of her life. She is worshiped in the Catholic Church as the "Mother of God" and the "Queen of Heaven." St. Bernard stated that she was crowned "Queen of Heaven" by God the Father, and that she currently sits upon a throne in Heaven making intercession for Christians.

The Bible teaches otherwise. In the Bible, Mary was a sinner just like the rest of us. She said herself that she needed a "Saviour" (Luke 1:47), and she even had to offer a sacrifice for her sins in Luke 2:24. Jesus was only her "firstborn" son, according to Matthew 1:25, because she later had other children as well (Mt. 13:55; Gal. 1:19; Psa. 69:8). There's only ONE mediator between God and men, and it isn't Mary (I Tim. 2:5). The last time we hear from Mary in the Bible she is praying WITH the disciples, not being prayed to BY the disciples (Acts 1:14). The Bible never exalts Mary above anyone else. Neither should we. The Catholic Church even claims that Mary is the Co Redemptrix along with Our Lord Jesus himself…what blasphemy.

The Roman Church has changed its tactics over the Centuries and now uses subversion and infiltrators to undermine any Bible believing Church or Group.

The people mainly used for this evil tactic is the Jesuits….here is a statement of what this group are really intent on doing within various Churches.

Instructions from Jesuit Superiors to the Initiates

"My son, heretofore you have been taught to act the dissembler: among Roman Catholics to be a Roman Catholic and to be a spy even among your own brethren; to believe no man, to trust no man. Among the Reformers, to be a reformer; among the Huguenots, to be a Huguenot; among the Calvinists, to be a Calvinist; among other Protestants, generally to be a Protestant, and obtaining their confidence, to seek even to preach from their pulpits, and to denounce with all the vehemence in your nature our Holy Religion and the Pope; and even to descend so low as to become a Jew among Jews, that you might be enabled to gather together all information for the benefit of your Order as a faithful soldier of the Pope.

You have been taught to insidiously plant the seeds of jealousy and hatred between communities, provinces, states that were at peace, and incite them to deeds of blood, involving them in war with each other, and to create revolutions and civil wars in countries that were independent and prosperous, cultivating the arts and the sciences and enjoying the blessings of peace. To take sides with the combatants and to act secretly with your brother Jesuit, who might be engaged on the other side, but openly opposed, to that with which you might be connected, only that the Church might be the gainer in the end, in the conditions fixed in the treaties for peace and that the end justifies the means.

You have been taught your duty as a spy, to gather all statistics, facts and information in your power from every source; to ingratiate yourself into the confidence of the family circle of Protestants and heretics of every class and character, as well as that of the merchant, the banker, the lawyer, among the schools and universities, in parliaments and legislatures, and the judiciaries and councils of state, and to be all things to all men, for the Pope's sake, whose servants we are unto death.

You have received all your instructions heretofore as a novice, a neophyte, and have served as co-adjurer, confessor and priest, but you have not yet been invested with all that is necessary to command in the Army of Loyola in the service of the Pope. You must serve the proper time as the instrument and executioner as directed by your superiors; for none can command here who has not consecrated his labors with the blood of the heretic; for "without the shedding of blood no man can be saved." Therefore, to fit yourself for your work and make your own salvation sure, you will, in addition to your former oath of obedience to your order and allegiance to the Pope, repeat after me---” END OF STATEMENT

The amazing thing about this statement is that the LORD JESUS CHRIST or the BIBLE is not mentioned ONCE….only verses taken out of context to try and validate their evil schemes. ALL authority and praise is given to the Pope.

What ‘LOVING’ people these are…certainly the SEED of Satan himself. They will stop at nothing to KILL and stop the work of the only TRUTH and that is Jesus Christ and him alone.

So be very careful about Ecumenicalism in any shape or form

SUPER-STORM SANDY: YES 'THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL'



Below is the rhetoric of why this terrible death dealing Super-storm Sandy is a wake- up call to the USA….BUT it totally ignores the Almighty God who will not be MOCKED.

The Witchcraft (Halloween) & Filth that this Nation has allowed over the years is now being revealed. Many scoff at Gods Word and even PREACH there is NO God. The Lord God will have the LAST SAY.

They can build defences, they can climb the Mountains, but the Lord knows where anyone is at any time. WE CANNOT HIDE FROM THE LORD GOD YAHWEH

As you read the following Yahoo report…think on what is happening in the World today and how far removed from God most people are:

Super-storm Sandy is a "wake up call" that could lead to billion dollar flood defences being created in New York City.

Three of New York's top 10 highest floods have occurred in the last two and a half years, and the latest disaster has fuelled calls for major investment in flood defences.

"If that's not a wake-up call to take this seriously I don't know what is," said climate change expert Ben Strauss.

"The city is extremely vulnerable to damaging storm surges just for its geography, and climate change is increasing that risk."

State governor Andrew Cuomo is now considering a storm surge barriers - which could cost up to \$10bn - or a levee system.

"The construction of this city did not anticipate these kinds of situations. We are only a few feet above sea level," he said.

"As soon as you breach the sides of Manhattan, you now have a whole infrastructure under the city that fills - the subway system, the foundations for buildings."

With at least 50 people killed along the east coast - most by falling trees - and millions affected by the high winds, power cuts and flooding, President Barack Obama cancelled campaign appearances in key state Ohio to oversee the government response.

He is due to visit New Jersey to survey some of the widespread devastation caused by superstorm Sandy in eastern US and Canada.

He described the disaster as "heartbreaking for the nation".

Manhattan's financial district .

Much of the Manhattan skyline was still in darkness on Tuesday night and it is feared it could be days before electricity is restored to some of those cut off.

Forecasters predict the storm could end up causing around \$20bn (£12bn) worth of damages in the US.

"Rainfall totals could reach around 6-8 inches, and winds will remain gale force in strength.

"The forecast suggests that the centre of the low will move northwards from western Pennsylvania into the west of New York and then into Quebec by Thursday."

Businesses and homes along New Jersey's shore were wrecked and communities were submerged under floodwater across a large area on Tuesday.

After seeing pictures of the shore, State Governor Chris Christie said: "The devastation is unthinkable."

A strong supporter of fellow Republican Mr Romney, Mr Christie also praised Mr Obama's federal response to the disaster.

Amid the despair, talk of recovery was already beginning.

"It's heartbreaking after being here 37 years," Barry Prezioso of Point Pleasant, New Jersey, said as he returned to his house in the coastal community to survey the damage.

"You see your home demolished like this, it's tough. But nobody got hurt and the upstairs is still livable, so we can still live upstairs and clean this out. I'm sure there's people that had worse. I feel kind of lucky."

The storm reached as far inland as Ohio and caused thousands of flight cancellations , while mobile phone network outages also were widespread.

Meanwhile, parts of West Virginia were buried under 3ft (1m) of drifting snow from the storm.

Mr Obama has issued federal emergency decrees and declared "major disasters" in both New Jersey and New York.

Speaking during a visit to Red Cross headquarters in Washington, he said: "New Jersey, New York in particular have been pounded by this storm. Connecticut has taken a big hit."

More than 80 homes in New York City's borough of Queens were destroyed in a fire caused by the storm.

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg , who toured the area, said: "To describe it as looking like pictures we've seen of the end of World War Two is not overstating it. The area was completely levelled.

"Chimneys and foundations were all that was left of many of these homes."

Neighbour John Frawley, 57, said: "I stayed up all night. The screams. The fire. It was horrifying."

Hundreds of miles away from Sandy's turbulent centre, winds were churning up the waters of Lake Michigan to near record levels.

Officials in Chicago warned people to stay away from the lakefront, and parts of the bicycle path along the shore was closed.

The strong wind and rain has had other unexpected consequences.

Police in New Haven said a skeleton was revealed beneath the town green that may have been there since Colonial times.

Police spokesman David Hartman said a woman was with other bystanders looking at a fallen oak tree, and spotted bones in the upturned roots.

Hurricane Sandy - which was reclassified as a post-tropical storm upon making US landfall - had already killed 69 people in the Caribbean.



We pray for the millions who are affected by this tragedy and that those who do not know the Lord will repent and accept him before it is too late.

SEVEN YEARS TO THE DAY AND HURRICANE ISAAC IS VISITING

I was reading the first 3 chapters of the book of Romans this morning and was reminded once again of the similarity of the Sin of Pauls day and now.  The total disregard of Gods laws has brought nothing but calamity upon many Nations around the World.

I then opened my email box and recieved the following report:

I am STRUCK by the understanding of the seven-year period since Hurricane Katrina. SEVEN YEARS AGO, Katrina struck New Orleans during the WEEK OF THE HOMOSEXUAL CONVENTION known as "SOUTHERN DECADENCE."

Now Hurricane Isaac is scheduled to hit New Orleans once again - exactly SEVEN YEARS LATER TO THE DAY (August 29th) on the first day of the "Southern Decadence" annual convention. How much more blatant can the King of the Universe be? He gave this nation a grave warning, and then - according to His great mercy - He gave us SEVEN YEARS to REPENT.

In Hebraic understanding, seven years means "completion." The opportunity for repentance is complete, but this nation (United States) has not only refused to repent of this sin, which God calls an abomination (Leviticus 20:13), but it has greatly encouraged and promoted it, from state to state and throughout the U.S. military.

The word Isaac means "laughter." Psalm 2:4 "He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision." Psalm 37:11-13: "The wicked plot against the just, and gnashes at him with his teeth. The LORD laughs at him, for He sees that his day is coming."

I do not believe this means our God is taking delight in wiping out the wicked (those who reject Him and scoff at His Word) ; but I do believe it means that He will NOT be mocked, and He WILL prove Himself to be a God of justice, who does what He says He will do.

Let us be sober-minded, friends, and let us be in much prayer for this nation as ISAAC churns toward the Gulf Coast... The timing of Hurricane Isaac with Southern Decadence is a sign that God's patience with America's sin is coming to an end.

I also read the book of Jude before I read the above report....and our dear Lord is not going to allow these terrible sins to go on and on....he will require an accounting from EVERYONE who supports this degrading practice.  The WORD of GOD tells us that we OBEY GOD as ruler in situations like this and not man made laws that declare this practice legal.

IDOLATRY WITHIN THE CHURCH THAT CLAIMS TO FOLLOW THE TRUTH


The sin of idolatry brought down God's awful wrath on His own people. It angered Him more than any other sin in the Old Testament, so much that He declared: "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger" (Jeremiah 7:18).

This is God's declaration against idolatry in the Old Testament and He hates idolatry just as much today. It brings down His wrath on any generation, including these modern ones.

This very day the Orthodox Catholic World honours and worships the modern version of the Queen of heaven…Mary the mother of Jesus Christ the man. They actually teach that Mary never died but was taken to heaven and became our Lady Queen of Heaven…

This and other idolatry is sweeping across our world right now. It is not only people kneeling down before carved images; but modern idolatry seduces multitudes by its subtlety and craftiness. Yet it angers God just as much as any Old Testament idolatry.

"I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of

Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed" (Galatians 1:6-8).

This ‘other gospel’ that Paul mentions is a message of salvation without the cross. Another great idolatry of our day is the casting aside of the message of the cross of Jesus Christ. Jehovah’s Witnesses claim to be Christian but reject the cross of Jesus as a pagan symbol.

The cross - including its demands and hopes - is the very root and foundation of the gospel. Any worship, any fellowship, anything calling itself a church is blatant idolatry if the cross is not at its centre. Such worship is of another spirit entirely and God will have nothing to do with it. Without the cross, all that is left is chaff - a perverted gospel, something from the pit of hell. It is more insulting to the Lord than the idolatry of Israel. Many claiming to be Christian no longer use the cross or have one in their place of worship, just in case it offends someone of another faith. Yet Jesus said:

"And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:32). This "lifting up from the earth" Jesus mentions is his crucifixion. He was lifted up before the whole world on the cross, an image of His great sacrifice for our sins…

Do not be misled as Satan will use any method to divert our worship away from our dear Lord and his Father in heaven.

BRITAIN NOW BANNING THE TEACHING OF CREATION IN SCHOOLS

During this Olympics and celebration of what is 'British' we see a total rejection of all that Britain once stood for...a Bible believing Country that claimed Christianity as its faith.  Now the Humanist liberal Atheists are destroying every aspect of what Britain once stood for and just look at the results...a Country that is full of Violence, Greed and Total Censorship of anything decent.  Here is yet another example of this Atheistic teaching

Evidence for Creation now banned from UK religious education classes


The following article is from CMI (Creation Ministries International)

In January 2012, following a campaign by the British Humanist Association, the UK’s Department for Education had revised the regulations relating to government funded schools. We stated, based on press reports at the time, that those ‘free schools’ that teach creation or intelligent design in science lessons will, from now on, have their financial support withdrawn. However, now that the new free schools funding agreement has been published, it’s clear that the situation is far worse than was originally apparent. The new clause (24A) actually states that

‘[the school] shall not make provision in the context of any subject for the teaching, as an evidence-based view or theory, of any view or theory that is contrary to established scientific and/or historical evidence and explanations.’4

Since it would be understood that the theory of evolution is ‘established science’ and that ‘any subject’ would include Religious Education, it would appear that this effectively prohibits any discussion of the scientific evidence for creation in any classroom.

Hence, the only view of origins that can be presented to the youngsters as ‘evidenced based’ is the one that infers that the universe has ‘no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.’

Hence, the only view of origins that can be presented to the youngsters as ‘evidenced based’ is the one that, in the words of Richard Dawkins, infers that the universe has ‘no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference’, that we are no more than biochemical machines ‘dancing to our DNA’ and that people are not responsible for their actions.5 Indeed, they are to be taught that the only rational explanation for their existence is the belief system that paved the way for the killing of millions in Soviet Russia,6 World War I,7 World War II,8 and the Holocaust.9 At the same time, teachers are forbidden from telling their students that there is any evidence for the view that people are made in the image of God (and that they therefore have intrinsic value), or that the creationist world-view that led to the rise of science10 was based on anything other than religious ignorance. Moreover, it would seem inadmissible to teach that the practice of the Christian faith, which led to the abolition of slavery, the founding of hospitals, schools and many other charitable institutions, that taught honesty, respect and self-sacrifice, was based on anything other than a belief in unsupportable myths.

Blatant censorship

It is very hard to see how this kind of censorship can be justified by rational argument. Can you imagine the scenario in which some student asks the teacher, “What are the scientific arguments presented by creationists?” What might be the answer? Perhaps the teacher would be honest and reply, “Well, I’m not allowed to tell you, otherwise our school will lose its funding. However, if you talk to me outside the school gates, I can answer your question.”

Those who have been gifted by God in scientific ability, and are privileged to hold high positions in our top academic institutions, have a serious responsibility to faithfully testify to the truth.

According to the results of a survey reported in The Guardian, 29% of UK teachers believe that creationism and intelligent design should be taught in science classes. Moreover, nearly 50% said they believed that excluding alternatives to evolution was counter-productive and would alienate pupils from science.11 If this is what teachers feel about science lessons, how will they react to the exclusion of such discussions from religious education classes?

The depths to which anti-creationists will now stoop to prevent children hearing about alternatives to evolution beggar belief. For example, simply because he expressed the view that children should be allowed to raise doubts about the theory of evolution in their science classes and discuss alternative views of origins, committed evolutionist Professor Michael Reiss was forced to resign his position as the Royal Society’s Director of Education. Dr Jerry Bergman, in his book, Slaughter of the Dissidents,12 has documented numerous cases of Darwin dissenters in the USA facing demotion, loss of career or job, denial of degrees, and even personal threats.

Moreover, it is surely significant that all this is happening at a time when there have never been so many scientific facts challenging the Darwinian paradigm. The more the evidence points away from naturalistic processes as the explanation for our existence, the more desperate secularists become and the more draconian the regulations they press for in their attempts to hide this.

The Altenberg 16

Recently, evolutionist Suzan Mazur published a book entitled, The Altenberg 16: An Exposé of the Evolution Industry.13 (See Walter ReMine’s excellent review in the January 2012 edition of Journal of Creation.14) The Altenberg 16 is a group of top university academics who met together at a symposium held at Altenberg in Austria in 2008. According to Mazur, these leading evolutionary scientists ‘recognize that the theory of evolution which most practicing biologists accept and which is taught in classrooms today, is inadequate in explaining our existence.’15 Some of the delegates would clearly go further. According to molecular biologist, Professor Antonio Lima-de-Faria, not only is the Darwinian paradigm wrong, but it ‘actually hinders discovery of the mechanism of evolution.’16 Professor Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini spoke for a number in stating simply that natural selection ‘is not the way new species and new classes and new phyla originated.’17 Professor Jerry Fodor confessed, ‘I don’t think anybody knows how evolution works.’18 If scientists can’t point to natural process that can drive evolution, why should evolution be taught as science in school classrooms?

The centre piece of the Altenberg symposium was a paper produced by Stuart Newman, Professor of Cell Biology and Anatomy at New York Medical College.19 In this he proposed that complex life is the result of ‘self-organization’. But what is the evidence that such a process exists? Entering into the evolutionists’ mindset this is not difficult to answer:

(1) evolution is a fact

(2) undirected processes cannot explain the complexity of life

(3) evolution must, therefore, be the result of a directed, ‘self-organizing’ process.

It is, however, untenable that a natural process, capable of building something as complex as the human brain, is apparently unobservable.

A time to stand up and be counted

The Altenberg 16 are clearly not the only scientists who recognize the bankruptcy of Darwin’s theory.20 Indeed, there can be little doubt that many top academics know this and, moreover, they know that there is simply no tenable alternative theory. Government education ministers, generally, have little knowledge of science and rely on advisors. If they only hear from their advisors the view that evolution is established science, who can blame them for believing this to be true?

Those who have been gifted by God in scientific ability, and are privileged to hold high positions in our top academic institutions, have a serious responsibility to faithfully testify to the truth—as Jesus said, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked” (Luke 12:48). Unless such people make the facts clear to the government, the next generation will be raised believing all the same dogma that led to the most godless, despotic, murderous regimes ever known in history.

We are certainly living in the times the prophets spoke about...stay firm and keep praying

FALSE PROPHETS, GLOBAL DECEPTION AND DANGEROUS CULTS


I was sent the following article by a Ministry that warns of deception within the church....this warning is by Lee Grady who is very well known amongst Charismatic Christians. 
FALSE PROPHETS, FOREIGN CHARLATANS and GLOBAL DECEPTION

-by J. Lee Grady.

Chris Oyakhilome, a popular African preacher with questionable credentials, is sparking international concern.  When I arrived in eastern Europe·a few days ago I learned that Romanian Christians have quite a spiritual battle on their hands.

Believers here struggled for years under communism. But now that they are free, they face an equally sinister struggle against cults, New Age teachings and-worst of all-charlatans who claim to be powerful Christian prophets.

One of the most controversial figures in Romania today is Chris Oyakhilome, a Nigerian broadcaster and faith healer who lives in South Africa. Although this smooth-talking preacher has never been to Romania, his influence has grown through his TV programs and books. Meanwhile, some gullible Romanian church leaders have visited his ministry base in Johannesburg and then returned to impart his miracle power to their congregations.

But Oyakhilome´s "power" is questionable-and it is spreading not only in eastern Europe but in many other parts of the world, including the United States.

You may have never heard of Oyakhilome, but don´t be surprised if his programs soon appear on a Christian television station near you. The founder of a movement called Christ Embassy, which began in Lagos, Nigeria, Oyakhilome already has 16 churches in the U.S., mostly attracting African immigrants in cities such as Dallas, Houston, Washington, D.C., and Atlanta. He has 39 churches in the United Kingdom (where many Nigerians live) and 18 in Canada, and his daily devotional books called Rhapsody of Realities are supposedly available in 70 languages.

Why is he so controversial? Consider a few facts:

Nigerian Christians have long complained that Christ Embassy is a cult-mainly because members reportedly are forced to give money in offerings and are pressured to marry only within their church. Oyakhilome was accused of engineering a money laundering scheme in Nigeria in 2010, and questions swirl around his finances because of his glamorous lifestyle.

Theologians and cult-monitoring groups have documented their concerns about Oyakhilome´s "New Creation" doctrine-a form of gnosticism that says after a person becomes a Christian, any sin they commit is only in the body and will not affect the spirit.

Oyakhilome mixes this doctrine with a hybrid version of the American prosperity gospel, claiming that God wants all people to be rich.

Oyakhilome´s reputation as a faith healer was tarnished badly in 2008 in Johannesburg when a man told a Soweto newspaper that Christ Embassy offered him more than $1,200 (U.S.) to sit in a wheelchair and pretend to be crippled until Oyakhilome prayed for him. The man went to the media instead of taking the money, sparking concerns that healings were being faked to impress growing crowds.

Perhaps most disturbing is Oyakhilome´s connection with T.B. Joshua, a Nigerian occult healer who leads a mysterious group called The Synagogue, Church of All Nations. Joshua, who claims his mother carried him in her womb for 15 months because he was a special prophet, mixes Pentecostal fervor with pagan spirituality. After coming under Joshua´s influence a few years ago, Oyakhilome began copying some of his bizarre mannerisms.

When I came to Romania last week I was surprised to learn how many Christians here had come under Oyakhilome´s influence.  But as I did further research I found that Oyakhilome´s popularity is growing far beyond eastern Europe. Thanks to YouTube, Internet TV channels and a public that is often biblically illiterate, Christians today are as vulnerable as ever to religious impostors and deceptive con-artists.

Jude, the brother of Jesus, warned us 2,000 years ago about such false prophets. "For certain persons have crept in unnoticed ...ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ" (Jude 4, NASB).

Paul also warned that people will demand false teachers to fulfill their lusts, and that those teachers will "turn away their ears from the truth" (2 Tim. 4:3-4). Those ancient words are painfully relevant today.

Some Romanian church leaders have sounded an alarm. One of them, Ioan Peia, released a public warning in 2011 listing various false doctrines promoted by Oyakhilome. Peia urged Romanian church leaders to "repent and ask God´s forgiveness, and ask the forgiveness of our brothers, because we allowed a part of these teachings to be spread among us and through us."

I feel I must sound an alarm as well. As much as I want to see healing miracles restored to the church today, I´m not willing to fling open the door to deception. The devil can fake miracles, and if we don´t apply discernment in this vulnerable hour, impostors will sneak into the church and unleash their doctrines-with
deadly results. Please don´t be duped by counterfeits.
 
End of Article........
 
The imposters within the Church cause far more damage than the enemies outside...because many trust what these false teachers preach just because they use a few verses from the Bible out of context.
 
The enemy is certainly sowing many dangerous teachings within the world of mankind....stay focused on the true teachings from Gods Word.

RICK WARREN ISLAMIC CONFUSION……MODERN BABYLON

An article in the Orange County Register reports that Rick Warren, the man known as “America’s Pastor,” has launched a new program called “King’s Way,” the purpose of which is to promote peace and unity between Muslims and Christians.

As part of their effort to promote their mutual goals, Warren’s pastoral staff and local Muslim leaders have co-authored a document outlining the points of agreement between Muslims and Christians. It affirms that both Muslims and Christians together believe in “one God” and share the “love of God” and “love of neighbor.”

The document also include a mutual commitment to three goals: Making friends with one another, building peace and working on shared social service projects. The document quotes verses from the Bible and the Quran side-by-side as the authoritative basis to support its goals.

According to Abraham Meulenberg, a Saddleback pastor, and Jihad Turk, director of religious affairs at a Los Angeles mosque, King’s Way represents opening “a path to end the 1,400 years of misunderstanding between Muslims and Christians.”

But beyond this, according to Turk, both groups also agreed not to evangelize each other.

What becomes immediately apparent is that while making friends with Muslims is certainly an admirable goal, Warren has prioritized the three goals of making friends, building peace and working together on shared social service projects over and above the commandment of Jesus to baptize and make disciples throughout the inhabited world. Matthew 28:19, 20

Warren has made statements to the effect that the Orange County Register article contained errors. The editors have disagreed, arguing that all of their facts are entirely accurate.

One critic has accurately commented that rather than obeying the Great Commission and creating disciples of the Jesus of the Bible, Warren is “building a Tower of Babel that leads to nowhere.”

When ‘Christian’ groups join together with other groups that have such fundamentally divergent goals and doctrines, the danger is always compromise. Throughout the Old Testament, the commandment of God to the Israelites was to never enter into agreements, covenants or marriages with the surrounding peoples, lest the Israelites would find themselves led away to worship other gods. In such a post-modern culture, these concepts may sound amazingly intolerant, but the wisdom of the Lord’s proscription against treaties and partnerships is seen in Warren’s agreement not to evangelize his Muslim “friends” and co-laborers for mutual social causes.

The commandment is no less pressing today. The concept of holiness biblically has always revolved around the idea of separation. The Lord takes covenants, agreements and partnerships very seriously and commands us not to enter into partnerships with those who possess such antagonistic views toward the most essential biblical doctrines of the Trinity, the Incarnation and the Divine son-ship of Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour. Beyond this, while the ultimate emphasis of biblical hope is messianic, looking for the return of Jesus, Muslims await another Jesus who returns to literally abolish Christianity. If Warren was pursuing friendships for the purpose of evangelism, this would be in keeping with Jesus Christ’s command. However it is quite clear that Warren is pursuing another agenda far more in line with the spirit of the age than with the goals of the early Christian Church.

Of course, Warren has already faced his share of criticism in the past from some evangelicals who argue that he is promoting “Chrislam,” a vague term used to refer to the unholy merging of Islam and Christianity. On his Pastors.com website, Warren has categorically denied the claims, stating that the “rumor is 100 percent false. … My life and ministry are built on the truth that Jesus is the only way, and our inerrant Bible is our only true authority.”

Warren’s Muslim neighbor has commented that he was neighbors with Warren for years before he found out that he was a Christian. Whilst it is apparent that Warren emphasizes friendship and neighborliness, in light of such comments, one must wonder how much value Pastor Warren truly places on Christian evangelism.

Gwynne Guibord, an Episcopal priest and co-founder of a Los Angeles outreach group that fosters relationships between Christians and Muslims, says, “I think that many evangelicals feel a mandate to convert people to Christianity.”

Other well-known evangelicals have agreed with Guibord’s rejection of efforts to convert others to Christianity. Carl Medearis, an American speaker on the subject of Islam and Christianity, in comments posted on the Biblical Missiology website, stated, “Encouraging people to join the religion of Christianity is actually heresy. Jesus would have been against it if there were a religion called Christianity (which there wasn’t, of course).”

But Medearis and other critics of the concept of “Christianity” fail to consider 1 Peter 4:16-17 where the apostle made the following very clear statement: “However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?”

Beyond this, Jesus’ commandment to baptize and make disciples in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit is an unequivocal call to make converts who make public confessions and identify with a visible community and a specific creed.

In response to what many pastors, theologians and missiologists feel is a wide-spread slide toward compromise and outright syncretism, several scholarly and media-related works have recently been produced.

While some may argue that Rick Warren’s efforts are in line with what they understand to be the mission of the Church, the slippery slope is seen in syncretistic expression and practices of the Insider Movement, which may truly be called “Chrislam.” While Warren and numerous other well-meaning Christian(?) missionaries who endorse and practice the C5 or Insider methodology believe that they are serving Jesus, their methods always lead to dishonesty, blurring the lines of truth, compromise and eventually outright heresy.

This is very serious amongst the people who truly love and worship the only true God and his Son Yeshua. This is all a part of the great apostasy, that the Bible warned against and is an attempt to wipe out true Christianity and replace it with the Babylonian One World Religion…that is ultimately controlled by the ‘Ruler of the Air’ Satan the Devil.  Be careful and reject anything that brings in another teaching....

FALSE ANGELS NOW BEING PROMOTED WITHIN THE CHURCH


I thought this article by Jennifer LeClaire an Editor with the Charisma magazine was very important and highlights the very danger we have been aware of for some time.  Much of the 'church' is getting swayed by New Age teachings that sound good, but are full of death dealing poison.  Here is the article:

ARTICLE

I recently heard a prophetic word that described an angelic visitation.  Of course, I am all for angelic visitations. Both the Old and New Testament offer plenty of examples of angels appearing to people
to deliver heavenly messages. But this angel apparently had a creative name. Its name was supposedly "Safe Passage."

It grieves me that we have to go around this mountain yet again in the body of Christ. Wasn´t the controversy over Emma - the female angel who purportedly started the modern-day prophetic movement
enough to put an end to this sort of nonsense? Apparently not. Let me be clear: There is no angel named Emma and there is no angel named Safe Passage - and it´s assignment is not to escort you safely into new opportunities or to clear fearsome corners and honor your unsung courage.

However, if you Google the keywords "angel safe passage," you might see where a misguided prophetic pen could draw such erroneous inspiration. There´s a Safe Passage playing card that´s a prominent "white angel" in a Dungeons & Dragons-style game.

In this context, "Safe Passage" is a sorcerer. On the more benign side, "Safe Passage" was the title of a script for a 1997 episode of Touched by an Angel. Either way, there is no God-sent angel named Safe Passage.

It just so happened that when I stumbled upon the so-called revelation of this angel named Safe Passage I was already studying the topic of angels. In fact, I was in the midst of reading Dr. Lester Sumrall´s Angels to Help You for a second time.  Sumrall offered abundant Scripture about the reality of angels, the categories of angels-including their names and ranks - what angels do, what angels know, angels and prophecy, what kind of people receive angelic service, and much more.

Angels are real. Angels are mentioned 108 times in the Old Testament and 165 times in the New Testament. Angels are messengers. Angels are innumerable. The Bible mentions three angels by name: Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer. But beyond that, you have to go to religions like Zoroastrianism to find the names of angels.

Zoroastrianism, also called Mazdaism, is a religion based on a self-styled prophet named Zoroaster (also known as Avestan or Zarathustra). Zoroastrianism was once among the largest religions in the world, a political power in pre-Islamic Iran. Mazdaism believers prayed to angels like Ameretat, Asha Vahishta and Vohu Mano for protection.

In modern times, the New Age movement has an A-to-Z list of named angels, some of which are supposedly rooted in Scripture. There´s Abdiel, the professed "Angel of Faith." At the end of the
New Age list, you´ll find Zuriel, the "Angel of Harmony" who has dominion over the sun sign of Libra.

As you can see, false teaching about angels has been circulating the world since before Christ was born and well after He ascended to the right hand of the Father. False teachings about angels was an issue in the early church and it´s an issue in the end-time church. "And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into
an angel of light" (2 Cor. 11:14).

Paul had an apostolic message for those who hyper-focused on angels and their "teachings" at the expense of exalting Christ. Paul was so bold as to say that if he - or an angel from heaven - preached any other gospel than the gospel of Christ he should be accursed (Gal. 1:8). Those are pretty strong words and ones
that should be heeded before we preach sermons or pen articles that exalt angels.

Paul also said, "Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God" (Col. 2:18-19).

Matthew Henry, an 18th century minister whose well-known commentary provides an exhaustive verse-by-verse study of the Bible, gets to the root of such angel exaltation: "They advanced those notions to gratify their own carnal fancy, and were fond of being thought wiser than other people. Pride is at the bottom of
a great many errors and corruptions, and even of many evil practices, which have great show and appearance of humility."

Yes, angels are ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who will inherit salvation (Heb. 1:14). That´s us! Angels are sent to execute God´s Word. By revelation of the Holy Spirit, David wrote, "Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word" (Ps.103:20).

Angels stand ready to obey the Word of God and bring it to pass. Yes, in a way angels may help provide us with safe passage.  When we make the Lord our dwelling place, no evil shall befall us nor shall any plague come near our dwelling; for He shall give His angels charge over us, to keep us in all our ways. In their hands they shall bear us up, lest we dash our foot against a stone (Psalm 91:9-12). But there is no angel named Safe Passage, at least none of God´s angels.

One last thought: John mistakenly fell down to worship at the feet of an angel who had shown him the revelations he recorded in the book of Revelation. The angel immediately told him to worship God (Rev. 22:8-9). We don´t know the name of this angel. If it were important, the Holy Spirit would have revealed it. I suppose some in the modern church would name him "Revelation," - some may even claim "Revelation" is a female - and that would be yet another error.

Let me end with the words of Jesus Himself: "Take heed that no one deceives you... for false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect" (Mk 13:5; 22). Amen.

Jennifer LeClaire, news editor, Charisma Magazine


I do not personally read the Charisma magazine, as I find it usually highlights many of the preachers that I do not want to listen to or read about.  However this was sent to me as an email and I regard it as very important that the church knows about these deceptions that are carrying many away from the plain simple truth of Yeshua and his teachings.

OIL OF GLADNESS & JOY



The Bible speaks a lot about Onointing Oil and it was often used by faithful prophets to anoint Kings and High Priests in the Nation of Israel.

King Saul was anointed with Oil, Aaron was also anointed as the first High Priest and later King David was anointed by the prophet Samuel.

In the New Testament a Woman walked into the house of Simon and actually anointed Yeshua's feet with a very expensive oil called Nard.  The aroma filled the entire house and was a very special thing for that Woman to do...she recognised the importance of what she did for her Messiah King.

The carrier Oil used back then would have been Olive Oil, but as fragrances such as Myrrh and Frankincense were also used, they would have also been blended with Olive Oil to make an anointing Oil.  The Rose of Sharon is also mentioned in the Bible and refers to our dear Saviour King Yeshua, who has the wonderful qualities that only a beautiful Rose can replicate in the Flora Kingdom.

"For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing" (2 Corinthians 2:15).


The Bible speaks about the Oil of Gladness and last Wednesday evening when we were anointing various ones in the House of Prayer, the Lord gave me this phrase...the Oil of Gladness. Therefore I looked it up in the scriptures and there is was, in Hebrews 1:9 and also in Psalms and other places as well.    

The Oil of Gladness...The Oil Of Joy


The Bible makes reference to the oil of gladness and the word joy many times. A number of essential Oils contain aromas that fill the air and the person with Joy and Gladness.  Christine has been blending oils together for many years and now she has blended an amazing combination of wonderful Oils that bring joy to the heart. This Oil blend is a very effective mood enhancer. Some people have even been able to eliminate or reduce their dependance on antidepressant drugs by inhaling it, diffusing it in their homes, or rubbing it on their bodies.

Our emotions are very important for our health. The Bible tells us that as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.

What comprises our Oil of Gladness Essential Oil Blend?

Bergamot, geranium, mandarin, palmarosa, and rose.


Bergamot...builds confidence and lifts the emotions (It is used in Earl Grey Tea)

Rose... brings balance and harmony and creates a sense of Well-being and self confidence.

Geranium... helps release negative memories and emotions

Manderin... It is comforting, warming and soothing

Palmarosa... It has a fine scent and has a balancing effect on the skin
Scriptural verses that talk about the Oil of Joy and Gladness

Psalm 45:7 “Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.

Psalm 19:8 “The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes.”

Proverbs 15:30 “A cheerful look brings joy to the heart, and good news gives health to the bones.”

Proverbs 27:9 “Perfume and oil bring joy to the heart, and the pleasantness of a friend springs from their heartfelt advice.”

Hebrews 1:9 ” You have loved righteousness and hated wickedness; therefore God, your God, has set you above your companions by anointing you with the oil of joy.”

Isaiah 61: ..”to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.”

These Bible passages all have one thing in common...they refer to anointing oils (essential oils) as a means to help with joy, gladness, and rejoicing. Our physical state has a lot to do with our emotional state. They go hand in hand. Living Waters Oil blends bring joy to the heart because they reach the limbic system of your brain that stores your emotions, and they are able to release the negative energy and bring in positive thoughts and emotions

We are making our Oils available on our site http://www.zappertek.com/


Many blessings

IS NATIONALISM, PATRIOTISM AND POLITICS OF CHRIST?

At long last I have read the following words of a pastor who believes excatly what we believe...that Christians should have no part in the meanderings of this Worlds politics and Dominion Now ideology.  Jesus Christ came to build his Kingdom within his Saints and not a religio-political theocracy that many are seeking.

The book of Revelation is all about Gods Kingdom putting an end to all other Kingdoms...as prophecied by Daniel in 2:44

Read this article and this is what I have accepted all my life.


NATIONALISM, PATRIOTISM and POLITICS


-IDOLATRY or GOD's WAY?

-by Rick Frueh.


I remain simply astounded at the response to my posts on nationalism, patriotism, and idolatry. I am convinced the Spirit is actively doing a work of grace in many, many hearts. Just so everyone knows where

I am in my journey I want to share. But do not think that your perspective has to mirror mine, or that you will be bullied if you are in a different place. But it would be edifying for brothers and sisters to sharpen each other´s iron.  I was brought up in a middle class home that went to a Lutheran church. I was baptized as an infant and I went for three years to catechism after which I was confirmed as a member.

But I was still lost. But I was raised in a common patriotic family who watched the 4th of July parade and voted Republican. We always displayed a flag on the fourth.  But in 1975 I was born again. My life was changed and I was  delivered from drugs and immorality and violence. But one thing that did not change was my patriotic perspective. I never questioned it and since all the new believers I met were also patriotic Americans it just seemed like a non-issue. And even after I became a pastor I held patriotic services on the fourth of July weekend. I can remember pledging allegiance to the flag on that Sunday as well as singing a couple patriotic songs. We were good American Christians.

During those years I can remember listening to radio and television people who held "conservative" political perspectives. Some would castigate the "liberals" and mock and berate them. And since being a politically active conservative seemed to be the evangelical way, I never questioned the Biblical nature of such verbiage.

When Iraq invaded Kuwait I can remember the patriotic pitch rising dramatically, and even in evangelical churches there was a frothing of the mouth concerning the coming war. The emotions ran high, and if someone even questioned all it they were considered liberal or at least some 60´s hippie throwback. And I can remember listening to the radio and television updates about how the coalition (America) was winning the war. Even the phrase "shock and awe" was a rallying cry!

It was around that time that men like Rush Limbaugh began what we now call talk radio and now talk television. And since we were all patriotic Americans who revered the Constitution and the founding
fathers, we didn´t notice the caustic and self righteous rhetoric.  Mocking liberals and demeaning jokes about President Clinton were commonplace and accepted even among preachers. The snowball got bigger and bigger and the evangelical church became very smug and self assured.

But in the late 1990´s something began to eat at my insides. I could not put my foot on it but something just seemed wrong with all the saber rattling and incendiary language. I would speak with my best friend about it and he too was feeling uncomfortable. One day he asked me for Scriptural support for a violent overthrow of the American government if we disagreed with its tax policy. I thought he had lost it! I told him there was absolutely no Scriptural grounds for violence over money, none. Then he asked me why then would God support the Revolutionary War? And where was Scriptural support for that war?

I was stunned. I had never even considered the Scriptural validity of the Revolutionary War. In the crowd I ran with that would have been considered treasonous just to ask such a question. In some circles it still is.

I did a study of the New Testament just to allow the Spirit to guide me without any preconceived attitudes. It soon became obvious, I had been sold a bill of goods.

Our allegiance is to Christ and Christ alone. To pledge allegiance to any earthly government is a form of spiritual treason. It does not mean you are not saved or that you do not love the Lord Jesus, but it does mean you are blind to that form of open idolatry. If we are to be honest, it is indefensible. But I was blind and I had to repent. And I would suffer criticism and even verbal persecution from some who were my friends.

It was surprising how personally believers take even a discussion in this realm.  And then there was the battle of self righteousness and any air of superiority. Whenever the Spirit guides me into a truth that substantially changes the way I think and behave, the devil and my flesh immediately urge me to feel superior to others with whom I had agree not too long ago. Isn´t the flesh such a diabolical and clever enemy? I still need to guard against that kind of feeling.

And in November of 2000 I cast my last vote for George Bush. And during the last 12 years I have examined many things concerning politics and the New Testament. While we are called to obey the authorities, we are never called to join with them. Politics is an unholy alliance of the saved and the unsaved. And when we resort to the ballot box, we dilute the gospel. The world sees us involved in changing the outside of the cup and subsequently they are not confronted with the eternal aspect of the gospel message. They see us as a moral religion not a faith of redemption.

So now I ask for your thoughts... - Rick Frueh

POPES VISIT TO MEXICO


The POPE has landed in Mexico and basked in all the adulation that should only be given to the one who gave his life for us...the LORD Yeshua, Jesus Christ.  Many of his sentiments were obviously well intended and yet much of the drug trafficking and sex trafficking is carried out in Roman Catholic Countries...so why are'nt the people taught the WORD of God that forbids these evil practices?

Pope Benedict said these words:  

“We ask Christ, to reign in our hearts, making them pure, docile, filled with hope and courageous in humility,” he said in his homily.


And then this blasphemy:


"At this time when so many families are separated or forced to emigrate, when so many are suffering due to poverty, corruption, domestic violence, drug trafficking, the crisis of values and increased crime, we come to Mary in search of consolation, strength and hope,”

During my extended search of scripture I can only find praying to the Father, through Jesus Christ....no mention of praying to the 'Queen of Heaven' as the RC like to portray the dear humble Mary as.

The only mention of the Queen of Heaven and worship is found in Jeremiah and that resulted in Gods displeasure.

I cannot understand how Protestant, Evangelicals can even align themselves with this religion that was established on ruthlessness and murder of genuine lovers of Jesus Christ.

The book FOX'S MARTYRS seems to have escaped them....what did Martin Luther bother for?

I have no time for the Church of Rome....but pray that the many faithful still in it will be set free from its massive deception

If you are a Catholic...bless you and pray that the real Lord Jesus Christ will teach you that idolotary of anyone or anything is against God the Father....its quite clear in the Bible


Blessings

THEY WANT TO BAN HOMEOPATHY & HERBS AND YET ANTIBIOTICS ARE BECOMING INEFFECTIVE



THEY WANT TO BAN HOMEOPATHY & HERBS AND YET THEIR ANTIBIOTICS ARE INEFFECTIVE


It seems amazing to us, how Natural Remedies are being attacked by people claiming that these remedies are not effective and are dangerous. They claim that allopathic drugs are the only proper medicines as they have been tested and are totally safe. Homeopathy has been used for more than 200 years with great results for millions of people. We have used it rather than drugs for many years and many Veterinary Surgeons use Homeopathy for the animals in their care.

Veterinary clinical outcomes survey

In October 2010 the Faculty of homeopathy’s data collection study in cats and dogs was published.

In the largest study of its type ever conducted, the clinical outcomes survey has identified a number of clinical conditions in cats and dogs that may be promising targets for future research in veterinary homeopathy. Twenty-one homeopathic veterinary surgeons in the UK recorded data from their patients over a 12-month period and collected information from a total of 400 cats and 1500 dogs.

The most frequently treated feline conditions were dermatitis, renal failure, over-grooming, arthritis and hyperthyroidism. The most commonly recorded canine conditions were dermatitis, arthritis, pyoderma (a bacterial infection of the skin), colitis and fear. By owners’ assessments, a moderate or major improvement was reported overall for 63% of cats and for 68% of dogs1.

A double blind study on Cows with Mastitis showed very favourable results.

http://www.alternativevet.org/Clinical%20Trial%20-%20Cattle%20Mastitis%201%20WS010-07.pdf

If it were merely a placebo as the ‘experts’ are claiming, why does it work on animals? If drug medicine is the so called cure of everything like these ‘experts’ claim

WHY DO WE READ ARTICLES LIKE THIS ONE?

Antibiotics will soon become so ineffective that a sore throat or grazed knee could kill, according to a warning from the World Health Organisation.

The world is approaching a post-antibiotic era, which could bring about "the end of modern medicine as we know it", according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).

Dr Margaret Chan, director general of the World Health Organisation, is warning humans are developing such resistance to the drugs that common complaints like a sore throat or grazed knee could become potentially fatal.

She said routine operations might become too dangerous, with every antibiotic ever developed "at risk of becoming useless".

The threat was "global, extremely serious, and growing", Dr Chan said.

"A post-antibiotic era means, in effect, an end to modern medicine as we know it," she told a conference of infectious disease experts in Copenhagen.

"Things as common as strep throat or a child's scratched knee could once again kill.

"Some sophisticated interventions, like hip replacements, organ transplants, cancer chemotherapy, and care of pre-term infants, would become far more difficult or even too dangerous to undertake.

"At a time of multiple calamities in the world, we cannot allow the loss of essential antimicrobials, essential cures for many millions of people, to become the next global crisis."

Replacement treatments, she cautioned, would be more costly, more toxic and might require treatment in intensive care units.

Life-saving drugs to treat tuberculosis, malaria and HIV/Aids could also be affected.

Dr Chan said: "Among the world's 12 million cases of tuberculosis in 2010, WHO estimates that 650,000 involved multidrug-resistant TB strains.

"Treatment of MDR-TB is extremely complicated, typically requiring two years of medication with toxic and expensive medicines, some of which are in constant short supply.

"Even with the best of care, only slightly more than 50% of these patients will be cured."

She criticised the "gross misuse" of antibiotics both in humans and livestock.

She said doctors prescribing the drugs too frequently and for too long, and the greater quantities of antibiotics used in healthy animals worldwide than in unhealthy humans, was a cause for great concern.

The pipeline, in terms of developing new antibiotics, is "virtually dry", Dr Chan warned.

"The cupboard is nearly bare. Prospects for turning this situation around look dim."

But, despite the global warnings, demand for antibiotics from patients has not diminished.

A north London GP, Dr David Lloyd, told Sky News: "A lot of our patients, because of the pressures they are under in their everyday lives, feel that they need everything they can to get better as quickly as possible.

"Their employers are yelling at them to come back to work, they're feeling terrible. They want to get better as quickly as they can, and so, naturally, they think that antibiotics are going to help them get better.

"But we know that most minor infections are what we call "self-limiting" and don't get better with antibiotics."

END OF ARTICLE

So with this is mind we are even more puzzled at the downright lies and deceit being put out by the ‘experts’.

These are the same people who tell us that there is NO GOD and that we have all evolved from lower life forms. These people ignore ALL of the thousands of people’s anecdotal evidence, because they only accept ‘proof’ measured by their standards.

Drugs kill 1000’s upon 1000’s of people in hospitals every year and the statistics prove it.

The Bible tells us that the whole World is controlled by the ‘evil one’ Satan and he is blinding people’s minds to things that will help others. Anything good is now being attacked by the people at the top, as they do not really care about anyone except their own agenda’s

However we still need to bless these people and pray for their salvation



Be blessed
