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

PRAYER CHAIN FOR ISRAEL, CYPRUS AND THE ENTIRE MIDDLE EAST



The Lord put it on our heart last year to set up a ‘House of Prayer’ which we have been doing for the past 5 months.

Recently we have seen a change in the way it has been running…we now start with very relaxing worship music and later we pray for what the Holy Spirit is directing us to pray for…we have Russian Women and also Cypriots who come.

The Holy Spirit has guided us in our prayer walk and has got us much closer to Father God through Yeshua/Jesus our Lord and Saviour. We have now been guided to start a prayer chain for Israel, Cyprus and the entire Middle East.

We are asking dear ones who read this site to stand with us in praying for Israel and her neighbors. This past month has seen a Political agreement between Israel and Cyprus to protect the OIL/GAS fields found in these waters…the field is called LEVIATHAN and Israel has agreed to station around 20 strike jets in the Paphos region.

So it is very important that we pray for the PEACE of Jerusalem and the surrounding areas. We are also mindful of threats and intimidation coming from the Iranian leadership and the Palestinian antagonists. When we read the book of Esther, we see a very similar situation with Haman breathing death and annihilation to all Jews in Persia and its territories. This present time has been the time of Purim a feast to commemorate the ‘Saving Grace’ enacted in those days through faithful Esther.

We want to pray for Saving Grace for Cyprus, Israel and ALL of the lands surrounding this part of the World. So will you join us?

We will pray for BLESSINGS upon all those living in these areas. We will pray BLESSINGS through the precious blood of Yeshua/Jesus.



Many blessings to all who read this

THE POWER OF THE AARONIC BLESSING



Many Christians are fully aware of the words "MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU" as recorded in the book of Numbers chapter 6: 24.  However the Aaronic blessing is far more than just that one verse, as it goes on to say "THE LORD MAKE HIS FACE SHINE UPON THEE, AND BE GRACIOUS UNTO THEE; THE LORD LIFT UP HIS COUNTENANCE UPON THEE AND GIVE THEE PEACE, AND THEY SHALL PUT MY NAME UPON THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL AND I WILL BLESS THEE" Numbers 6: 25-27

These are obviously lovely sentiments and ones that give us a wonderful feeling when we bless others with these words in English, but how did it read in Hebrew?

The word 'bless' in Hebrew is 'barak' which means 'to kneel' and if a person takes a special gift to someone as a blessing, they literally give it with bending knees and humbly offer it before the recipient.  The word 'berakah' is the Hebew word for 'blessing' and is the act of kneeling before someone with a gift.

The Lord Jesus Christ bent down to wash the feet of the disciples and yet he was their King....this is our God who humbly gave up his position as the Logos or Word to come down to Earth as a servant to his children. 

The other amazing word in the Aaronic blessing is the English word 'keep' and is 'shamar' in Hebrew and literally means 'to guard' and a related word is 'shamiyr' meaning 'thorn' and is linked to a shepherd who would protect his sheep by constructing a pen made out of thorny bushes, so that any wolves or other predators would not kill the sheep. Therefore this Aaronic blessing has the meaning of a loving Father, Shepherd who looks after his sheep with a ring of protection.  

Now that we can understand these few verses as they were intended to be understood. The Hebrew meaning shows us what an incredible loving Father we have....

Therefore the Aaronic blessing is saying "Yahweh kneels before us offering us gifts (Amazing Grace) and will guard us with a hedge of protection". The remaining parts of the Aaronic blessing can also be examined in its original Hebrew meaning revealing the following:

So when we speak out the Aaronic blessing to others we are asking Yahweh to kneel before others that we are speaking about and asking them to recieve 'gifts' of protection and 'wholeness'.  The blessing is for others to be 'beautified and made whole and complete'.  We are asking for them to be visited by the God of the Universe and recieving from his bounty.

So to ALL those reading this


May the Lord be with you and keep you and may you be blessed bountifully


God bless you and may we stay firm in HIM
