Many people know about the AntiChrist’s “Mark of the Beast”? But how many know about the Seal of God?
It is the Seal of God that will distinguish those who belong to God when Jesus Christ returns. The “Mark of the Beast” will distinguish those who belong to Satan.
The “Mark of the Beast” is in direct opposition to the “Seal of God”. In the end, everyone will have one or the other.
Those people who choose the “Seal of God” will spend eternity in Heaven, with God.
Those people who choose the “Mark of the Beast” will be cast into the lake of fire.
“And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
“The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels, and in the presence of the Lamb:
“And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up forever and ever: and they have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receiveth the mark of his name.
“Here is the patience of the saints: here are they that keep the commandments of God, and the faith of God.” Revelation 14: 9-12 (KJV)
WHAT IS THE SEAL OF GOD?
A seal has to do with legal affairs. Since our God is a legal God, there is nothing He can do to change what has been laid out as Law from the beginning.
A law is stamped with the seal of the ruling government and has three parts:
(1) The name of the ruler.
(2) The ruler’s title.
(3) The territory over which he rules.
Once a government has placed its seal on a law or currency, that means it is official. God’s seal makes His Law official, and the entire universe must stand behind it.
Anyone disloyal to the seal of the government, and to the law to which it is attached, is looked upon as being disloyal to the government itself. When the seal of the ruler of any government is placed in his law, that makes it official. Therefore, God’s seal is His Law. Just as a government ruler uses his seal to enforce the laws of the land, God uses His seal to enforce His Law.
“Bind up the testimony, seal the law among My disciples.” Isaiah 8:16 (KJV)
WHERE WILL WE FIND THE SEAL OF GOD?
The “Seal of God” can be found in the very center of His Law:
“Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it holy.
“Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work:
“But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy GOD: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates:
“For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.” Exodus 20: 8-11 (KJV)
Here are the three parts of God’s seal:
(1) His name – “the LORD”.
(2) His title – “thy GOD” (Creator)
(3) His territory – “heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is.
It is because of this that Satan has tried to hide the truth of the Sabbath from the world. It is because it is God’s sign. (The word ‘sign’ means the same as ‘seal’. See Romans 4:11)
So just where are God’s people sealed?
Under His covenant, His promise is this:
“This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;” Hebrews 10:16 (KJV)
Therefore, the Truth is, that when we choose Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit will place the “Seal of God” in our foreheads. The forehead contains the frontal lobe, the section of our brain where our conscience is. When you receive the “Seal of God” in your forehead, that means you have it in your conscience.
THE COMING SUNDAY LAW
In Truth, honoring the true Sabbath will be an end time test for God’s people when the Sunday Law is enforced by AntiChrist.
When referring to the Sabbath, we are not talking about Sunday worship here. We are talking about the True Sabbath set apart by God from the beginning.
As mentioned in an earlier article, the True Sabbath is from sunset Friday evening to sunset Saturday evening. This is the True Sabbath that GOD wants His people to honor.
Satan deceived many and, because of the Papacy of Rome, the True Sabbath was changed from Saturday to Sunday. Sunday is, in fact, a day for sun worshippers. It is idolatry. And, horror of horrors, SUNDAY WORSHIP IS ALSO A “MARK OF THE BEAST”. Sunday worship is the mark of the Papacy’s authority and will be legally enforced by the AntiChrist in the near future. But I will refer more to this in a separate article, for brevity’s sake.
WILL YOU ACCEPT JESUS AS LORD?
As mentioned, in order to receive the “Seal of God” in your forehead, you must accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior of your life. Accept Him into your heart by confessing to HIm your sins, repenting of them (turning away), and welcoming Him. It is your choice. As an act of obedience, and as an end time test, you will want to begin honoring the true Sabbath set apart by GOD from the beginning of time. It will indeed distinguish the weeds from the wheat when Jesus returns for the harvest, so long as we continue to honor God and obey His commandments once we are saved.
Also know this, that if you instead choose to accept the coming “Mark of the Beast”, what most believe is the coming RFID chip developed by the New World Order, then you will have no way to ever reach Heaven and spend eternity with God. The “Mark of the Beast” will only guarantee you slavery and control under the AntiChrist (Satan) and eternal damnation.
The choice is yours.
THE SEAL OF GOD IS NOT THE SABBATH BUT THE PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN ALL TRUE BELIEVERS WHO HAVE ACCEPTED JESUS CHRIST INTO THEIR HEARTS AS LORD AND SAVIOR AND REMAIN OBEDIENT TO HIM.
The Sabbath issue will be the end time test for God’s people, when the Sunday law is enforced by AntiChrist.
According to, Merriam Webster’s Deluxe Dictionary, Tenth Collegiate Edition, one definition of manipulation is: “to control or play upon by artful, unfair, or insidious means, especially to one’s own advantage” (2b, p. 1114).
As children, usually as toddlers, many of us learn how to manipulate our parents in order to get something we want. Some people, as they grow older, learn how to use it to their advantage, usually in a selfish, self-centered, perhaps even an evil way.
Satan used manipulation to get Eve to eat the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden.
Scoundrels manipulate others perhaps out of a desire to gain money or information. Deceit is fully a part of the manipulation of others. Gaining their trust for their own advantage is typical of what happens. I am sure we have all manipulated others to our way of thinking or gotten people to do something they initially didn’t want to do, at one time or another. Perhaps the person never had the ability to think for himself or even to just say no to something. Perhaps they felt intimidated or were afraid.
Believe it or not, it is also a sin to be manipulated by someone. And it is a sin to try and manipulate others into being someone you want them to be.
Regardless of how many of us have used manipulation, giving us unfair advantage over another, it is considered a sin in the eyes of God.
Illuminati Manipulation of the Masses
When first considering this topic, it never occurred to me how much this goes on in our world today. From my research, it is clear that for centuries the Illuminati has been manipulating our world to achieve an end. Their ultimate goal is to depopulate the world by around 90% so the 10% who are left will be more manageable, more controlled. As we can see, in order to achieve that end, they are using manipulation of the masses in order to do it.
The global elite, through deviousness and manipulation of the media, are making headway. Through use of the media, it has been found that entire populations of people can be manipulated in their thinking. Choices are made, whether knowingly or not, whether right or wrong, based on what one hears on the radio, sees on television, reads in newspapers or magazines, or through other sources. Basically, it is a form of mind control, which is a major avenue being used to manipulate our thoughts in the current age.
Music and movies are other avenues of deception and manipulation. Millions of songs contain lyrics that take root in people’s brains, helping to change the way a person thinks or believes. Movies manipulate the viewer into believing that what is portrayed therein is acceptable, especially as regards sexual behaviors and other things frowned upon by society. Most recently, there is a slew of television programs out there trying to convince us that homosexuality and lesbianism is normal and acceptable behavior when it is not. God’s Word has taught us that marriage is between a man and a woman, not those of the same sex. If one looks at the physical structures of humans, it only makes sense anyways.
For years, we have been manipulated to believe that certain events may have been caused by our enemies or others in an effort to manipulate our emotions. The Illuminati has tried to make us hate those who have done nothing against us. Stirring the masses to a frenzy of anger or desire for revenge, in order to achieve an agenda, a reason perhaps to attack other peoples, other nations, is plain evil. Yet it is so ingrained in us, and has been for centuries, that few question the way our world is turning or what is happening or what we are being forced to feel or believe. And in case you aren’t aware of this yet, the attack on the twin towers in New York City was a deliberate attempt to sway the American people towards anger against terrorists and ultimately, revenge, although there were other reasons for it as well.
Hollywood makes it seem as if sex before marriage is okay, when it is in clear violation of God’s laws.
Television ads that use catchy jingles or phrases to purchase certain foods or other items soon propel us into believing that we have to have these things. How many times has a McDonald’s commercial manipulated you into wanting to dash to that fast food restaurant for a Big Mac or something else? All of these things play on our senses.
Ads for certain foods have a genuine purpose. One, to get us to buy the item, and two, to help us eat enough of them so that we consume, unknowingly, probably unwillingly, the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) that are now in practically everything we eat. These not only make people sterile, but chemicals and other additives are some of the main cause of diseases, mainly cancer. Since this started around 50 years ago, there is little the Baby Boomers can even do to stop what is happening in their bodies. Although eating only organic, gmo-free foods can at least slow down the process.
Some fashion ads are intended to get us to buy certain styles of clothes, many with the one eye symbol of the Illuminati, the New World Order on it. From baby clothes and toys to adult tee shirts, we see these ads everywhere.
Six Principles of Global Manipulation
For centuries, the Illuminati has been scheming to take over the world. If you consider the six principles of global manipulation, you will be made aware that we are in the last stages of its attempt to depopulate our world and take it over. Through brainwashing and mind control of the masses, they are nearing completion of their plan. See for yourself:
Principle One: Worldview – worldview, methodology, philosophy. This allows us to see the general course of things, to distinguish processes and phenomena. This allows the system to bring up the children. People are separated into classes, much like in India’s caste system.
Principle Two: Chronological – Chronology of all branches of knowledge. This allows us to see an orientation of all processes. In effect, history is being rewritten.
Principle Three: Factual – Religious, ideologies, technologies, mass media. This carries out the processing of consciousness of the people. Basically, people are brainwashed through mind control, with television, in fact, being the most powerful weapon being used against the masses. For example, Christianity is being pitted against Islam. People are made to be separated and divided.
Principle Four: Economical – Economic struggle means submission to money and a world monetary system with usurious loan percent. People are being made slaves to debt through credit cards, etc., with exorbitant finance charges, which make the elite even more rich while the lower classes of people become enslaved. People are forced to work their entire lives to pay off their debts, economically dependent on the elite bankers, etc. controlling the money.
Principle Five: Weapons of Genocide – Alcohol, drugs, gene engineering, “food” additives, etc. These weapons against the people kill not only the living but also future generations. This explains why baby foods are now tainted with gmos.
Principle Six: Weapons of War – Traditional kinds of arms (planes, tanks, the ships, etc.) destroy people and material structures. We can see this not just through war but through the many drone attacks on peoples around the world.
True Freedom Is In Jesus Christ
Jesus Christ, through His Word, preached against the wolves in sheeps’ clothing who would come in to deceive us. He also told us that Satan often disguises himself as an angel of light when he is, in fact, evil disguised. (2 Corinthians 11:13; Galatians 2:4; 2 Corinthians 11:14; Matthew 7:15) The followers of Lucifer, the elite, are among these corrupt groups and are, in fact, corrupting our world to achieve an end. An end that does not bode well for mankind. By the time they are done, they want only two classes of people: the rich elite, the upper class, and the poor workers, the lower class. One can only assume that the ten percent of people remaining alive on the Earth after the genocide is complete will be included in that lower class. The rich are already in the upper class and will remain there. If you research many Hollywood celebrities, you can discover who support and are part of the Illuminati. They already sport the clothing of the one eye of the Illuminati and usually wear red strings on their wrists. You can read more about that in a previous article, “Are You Guilty of Idolatry?”.
Economically, the plan for a one world currency is targeted for the year 2018, when The Phoenix will come into play. The American dollar, if all goes according to plan, will be transferred from the American middle class into third world nations, under dictatorship. Decreasing the value of the dollar will destroy the middle class, leaving the two remaining classes I mentioned.
But not to worry. Jesus Christ is indeed King and still sits on the throne of Heaven. He has not left us defenseless against Satan’s forces of corruption. He wants all believers to be the head and not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). If we obey God’s law and love Him with our entire being (the first and greatest commandment, Matthew 22:37) and love all others as well (Mark 12:31), then we will never be at the bottom. He has given us the weaponry to combat Satan and his followers.
Satan intends to instill fear in the world, and I by no means mean for you to be afraid by my sharing of the truths herein. It is only so you can see what is going on and what Satan is planning against us. But know that Jesus Christ has already won the battle against these forces of darkness.
God would not have us to be enslaved again by evil. Jesus Christ was sent to Earth to die on the cross, to carry the burden of our sins, so that the bondages of sin and slavery and death would be broken once and for all.
True freedom is in Jesus Christ. And if you would free yourself of all that is weighing you down and you are worrying over, then, before it is too late, accept Him into your heart as Lord and Savior.
And if you are guilty of manipulation, something many find impossible to stop doing, then know you can only be set free from this sin through Jesus Christ. By getting on your face before God and asking Him to come into your heart and take away this sin, only then will you overcome. You will no longer be a slave to manipulation.
And once you are aware that Satan is trying to manipulate the masses and through what means, then you will also be free from that as well. So stay alert, pay attention to what is happening in the world.
Once Jesus Christ is in your heart, you are indeed free.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy,
Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good,
Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” (2 Timothy 3:1-5 KJV)
Please note, the following video contains some strong language:
In 306 AD, the fourth century, Constantine became the first Christian leader of the Roman Empire. At the time, there were all sorts of religions and beliefs circulating throughout the land. This, naturally, caused great controversies among those in this vast territory. One, in particular, I am sure caused Emperor Constantine many sleepless nights. It revolved around Jesus Christ.
Not everyone agreed that Jesus was divine. So, in an effort to quell the arguments, Constantine invited bishops from throughout the empire to his vacation home in the Turkish town of Nicea.
This gathering later became known as the Arian Controversy and was the first worldwide gathering of the Church. They met on June 19, 325 AD.
The Nicene Creed developed there established the basis for Christian ideology.
According to http://www.gotquestions.org/council-of-Nicea.html, “The Council of Nicea affirmed the deity of Jesus Christ and established an official definition of the Trinity—the deity of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit under one Godhead, in three co-equal and co-eternal Persons.”
According to Heather Whipps, of www.livescience.com, these “bishops also used the Council of Nicea to set in stone some church rules that needed clarification, and those canons were the reference point after which all future laws were modeled.”
True Salvation
True salvation comes only when we believe in our hearts that Jesus Christ is Lord, that He died on the cross for our sins, and that He now sits at the right hand of our Father in Heaven. We must also make a public confession with our mouths of this belief. It is a two-step process. First, belief; second, confession to at least one other person. (Romans 10:9)
So, if you haven’t completed both steps of this process, folks, make sure that you do so your names will be written forever in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
When I pray for the salvation of others, I usually ask that their names also be written in that Book, to establish their true salvation in Christ.
Also, be sure to confess your sins to God and turn away – repent – of them. Ask Jesus to forgive your sins, and He will. It is His promise to us. But you must be sincere. There are conditions to being forgiven. Matthew 6:14-15 states: “For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
Water Baptism
Certain Scriptures designate that believers are to be baptized in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ alone. (Acts 2:38) But such is not the case. In reality, believers are to be baptized in the name of the Holy Trinity of God: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost. (Matthew 28:19)
It was through the Council of Nicea that the original true Christian form of baptism was established, based on the Truth of the Holy Bible.
Also, according to the example set to us by Jesus Christ Himself, the day He was baptized by John the Baptist, it is also clear that believers are NOT to be sprinkled but fully immersed in water when getting baptized. (See Matthew 3:16) In fact, the word baptism in the Greek language, baptizo, actually means to immerse or submerge (to make fully wet). It doesn’t mean ‘sprinkle’. This is one of the problems with the Catholic Church. Also, infant baptism is not Scriptural. Believers must reach the age of accountability, when it is established for a person to know right from wrong and make his or her own decision regarding his/her personal belief. Many believe that eight is the age of accountability, but there is no information available to substantiate this claim. Others believe it is 12 or 13, even 20. But again, such depends on the maturity of the person overall, when he or she can decide for him- or herself.
Considering much I have learned regarding Heaven and Hell, it seems there are no children in Hell. Which leads one to believe that all children who die young go to Heaven, where they can live out their childhoods in a wonderful way, with Jesus. Since babies are too young to know right from wrong, it only makes sense that they would go back to Heaven if they die early. So, baptizing them at all is pointless.
What many churches do is dedicate their babies or children to the Lord. Then, when they reach the age of accountability, they can get baptized by their own choice, by immersion. It is how my own children were baptized. And they were dedicated to the Lord as infants. This makes more sense than anything.
Baptism, by the way, is not the way to true salvation. It is merely a public showing of our belief, to the world, that we identify with Jesus Christ’s death, burial, and resurrection. It is a sacrament, which is defined as “A religious ceremony or act of the Christian Church that is regarded as an outward and visible sign of divine grace, in particular.” (Google ‘sacrament definition’.) More importantly, baptism is a command for all believers, not just a personal choice.
Baptism Of The Holy Spirit
Once a person’s sins have been washed away by the blood of the Lamb, Jesus Christ. Once a person has been forgiven and sincerely turns away from sin and wickedness and turns toward the true God of Heaven and gets baptized by immersion, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit of God, there is one more gift God has for those who are His. It is for all believers, not just a select few. It is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Being washed in the blood of Jesus is the qualifying factor.
Why are we given this special gift? Because, in John 14:16, it states that Jesus prayed for us. All of us. To receive the Holy Spirit.
“And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that He may abide with you forever.”
The Comforter is the Holy Spirit of God. And we are promised His divine presence in our own hearts and spirits…forever, together with His divine power and authority.
According to the famous evangelist, Reinhard Bonnke, “our hearts are fireplaces for the Holy Spirit”, and “we are made for the fire of the Holy Spirit.” But it is only for all blood-washed Christians. Believers must be washed of their sins first before they receive that fire from Heaven.
So what is this exactly? Well, according to ww.cbn.com, “The baptism in the Holy Spirit is an empowering for service that takes place in the life of the Christian (Acts 1:5,8). In it we are immersed in the Spirit’s life and power.”
Sometimes this baptism may occur at the moment you confess your faith in Jesus Christ. Other times, it may happen later, after you have been saved. People often have their own unique experience, and believe me, it is a wonderful feeling when this occurs. But in order to receive, you must fully submit to God’s authority over your life. Jesus will only respond to a totally yielded vessel, so keep this in mind. As the Borg on Star Trek would say, “Resistance is futile.” What would be the point anyways? Once you receive the Holy Spirit, you will know it, and you will relish the incredible feeling that comes over you. That is why it always boggles my mind when people say they do not believe in God. When baptized by fire, you will feel the incredible power of God fill you. There is nothing like it on this earth, I can assure you.
Now, to receive, you have only but to ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit, to baptize you. You also need to have faith in that God will give you what you ask for. You may, of course, have another born-again, Spirit-filled believer pray for you to receive the Holy Spirit as well. When the Spirit of God fills you, you will know it, so do not fear God will not answer your prayer for this baptism by fire, by His Spirit.
“Ask and ye shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.” (Luke 11:9-10; Matthew 7:7-8 KJV)
“This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law or by the hearing of faith?” (Galations 3:2 KJV)
It is always best to author your own words when speaking to God, especially for salvation, but if you are struggling with how to pray to receive the Holy Spirit, then the following prayer from www.cbn.com can help you, if you sincerely desire to receive the baptism of God’s Holy Spirit:
“Heavenly Father, at this moment, I come to you. I thank You that Jesus saved me. I pray that the Holy Spirit might come upon Me. Lord Jesus, baptize me now in the Holy Spirit. I receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit right now by faith in Your word. May the anointing, the glory, and the power of God come upon me and into my life right now. May I be empowered for service from this day forward. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for baptizing me in Your Holy Sprit. Amen.”
The Fruits and Gifts of The Holy Spirit of God
Once a person has been saved, washed in the blood of Jesus Christ, baptized by water (by immersion), and prayed to receive and be baptized by fire for the receiving of the Holy Spirit of God, you may wonder what comes next. Actually, once the power of the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you may then find yourself with gifts that will help you in your walk with God. Not everyone has the same gifts. Some have the gift of tongues, the gift of healing, the gift of miracles, the gift of prophecy, or whatever. It is then you must determine what those gifts are.
The uniqueness of each believer’s gifts plays a major role in the Body of Christ. Each believer, as part of the Body, uses these gifts to further the Kingdom of God.
I will not lengthen this article by sharing more on this subject. I have posted several links below that go into great detail and explanation on the gifts and fruits of the Spirit, which you may peruse at your leisure. I merely want you to know that once you have the Spirit of the Living God within you, then He has blessed you with things that may surprise and amaze you. So please be sure to follow up on this topic.
Final Thoughts
In closing, I hope I have answered all of your questions regarding true salvation, baptism by water and of the Spirit. I suggest you find a salvation-preaching, Bible-based church to join or attend, if you haven’t found one already. If you have accepted Jesus Christ into your heart as Lord and Savior, then make sure to get baptized by immersion, and pray for the Holy Spirit to come into your heart as well. The gifts will come, and you will be blessed beyond measure once you share your temple (your body) with the God of all creation, through His Spirit.
If you still have questions or just wish to express your joy at knowing God, feel free to write me at gideonsmessenger777@yahoo.com. And know also that God commands us to be holy, as He is holy. (1 Peter 1:16)
May the Lord bless you and guide you into all Truth and Righteousness.
“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:” (Matt. 28:19).
(Please Note: The proper way to baptize in Jesus’ name is to say, “I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.” just before the person is fully immersed in water.)

“Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.” ( Acts 2:38 KJV)

“…Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
“He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
“And these signs will follow them that believe; In My name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
“They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” (Mark 16:15-18 KJV)
It’s not the Republicans in America who are at war with women. It is Satan.
Satan, when he fell from heaven, was given power over the entire earth. If there is a war against women – or men – it is because of Satan. It is he who has the influence over all of mankind, and womankind.
Satan has hated us from the beginning and would see all of us corrupted and in hell for all eternity.
God judged Satan in the Garden of Eden, because of what he did to make Adam and Eve fall. He cursed him.
“And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.” (Genesis 3:15 KJV)
Because Eve did not reject God, although she did admit her sin, Satan hated Eve. Satan wanted her to turn from God, but she did not. She stood with God, yet suffered the punishment he laid against her for her sin.
All must realize there are repercussions to our sins. We may be forgiven but that does not mean we will not be punished for what we did. For example, if one is guilty of homosexuality, contracts AIDS, then finds God, gets saved, repenting of this abominable practice, the punishment is still there and that person may ultimately die. God will forgive anyone his or her sin, but that does not guarantee He will take away the punishment.
Satan hated most when Jesus Christ came into the world as a human being, through a woman. His mother, Mary. Since Satan has been against women from the beginning, then it is no wonder he hates women so much even now, in the 21st century, especially followers of Jesus Christ. He will do anything to turn a person, particularly a woman, away from God.
Genital Mutilation Came Through Men Under Satan’s Influence
Throughout the ages, Satan has used men to dominate and control women, making women as possessions or making them feel worthless as human beings. Some religions, instead of being used for good, are geared toward abuse and hatred, especially towards women. Male-dominated religions, even countries, have even gone so far as to commit the atrocity of mutilating their women’s genitalia, preventing women from experiencing the pleasure of sex. This makes no sense since men are allowed this pleasure. But if you realize the source of this cruelty and brutality, you will discover that these religions and the men at the forefront are being used by Satan to hurt women. They are completely blinded by him and take insane delight in raping, abusing, and even murdering women. They believe women are their possessions, their slaves, and were put on the earth for them to torment. But it is actually the demons of hell, oppressing and possessing these men, who are committing such acts of cruelty. And all of these men will eventually wind up in Hell themselves, unless they repent and turn away from their wickedness and accept Jesus Christ into their hearts. He is the one true God of Heaven. There is no other, despite what Satan and his followers would have people to believe.
Genital mutilation is referred to as female circumcision, but it is not. In fact, it causes not only unnecessary suffering and pain for the women being mutilated, but death, difficult intimate relations, difficult childbirth, serious health problems, as well as infertility. Does this sound like something God would allow? Especially to small children?
Women are created by the one true God of Heaven. God makes no mistakes when creating things. He makes women exactly as He wants them to be. If God wanted women not to enjoy marital relations, then he would have physically made them unable to. It is Satan, using men who are receptive to his evil influence, who violate women any way they can. It is not God’s will that women suffer and survive pointless lives. He created women for a purpose. And He created women to be honored and respected.
According to Jean Wright, of godswordtowomen.org, “God designed a canopy of love for the woman because she is the special object of Satan’s hatred, not because she is weak, inferior or more easily deceived than man.
“Satan’s enmity is also against the natural seed [children] of the woman, which, of course, is all mankind. He hates the woman because she is the bearer of the seed. She brings forth the children who will have the opportunity to be born into the family of God and become sons of God with authority over him. This, stated again, explains the pitiful lot of women in many parts of the world.
“When the woman also bears the seed of the Word, there is a special hatred against her and her descendants. The protection for her and the children in the home is for the husband to provide that blanket of love that God designed for her to have.” Husbands are to love and protect their wives, not abuse them in any way.
Prostitution is Not of God
Due to these abuses, in all parts of the world, women are forced to do things they do not want to do. Yet, when men do not fulfill their true purpose, under God’s direction, women are forced into survival mode at all costs. Usually, trying to find a good job or having to go into prostitution.
Prostitution has been termed the oldest profession in the world. When there is no one there to care for a woman, or if she has been raised to believe there is no other way to be, she may fall into this. It is not something most women would choose to do, unless there seems to be no other way to survive. Feeling lost and hopeless, these unfortunates may fall into this trap, placing themselves in danger of abuses or diseases.
But women need to know that there is a way where there seems to be no way out of this dilemma. Jesus Christ. Or as His believers know Him: Jehovah Jireh, our Provider. These women need to understand that Jesus loves them and, if they accept Him, that He will provide for them in ways they can never imagine. Prostitution is not something God wants for those He loves. Prostitution was enforced by Satan, from the beginning, to bring women down and give them no hope. But there is hope. In Jesus Christ.
As poverty increases throughout the world, women will be affected in negative ways. Without Christ in their hearts, many may feel the need to sell themselves for basic necessities, for themselves and for their children. Since not all men are responsible enough to care for their wives or families, it is usually the women who must bear the burden of providing for them. If they cannot find a way to earn a living in a respectable manner, then Satan may force them into situations they do not want to be in. But if their back is up against the wall, they may feel they have no other choice. But again, I want to affirm that there is another way. Through belief in Jesus Christ. Through trusting Him. Women are to be one with God as men are one with Him. God did not separate men to alone enjoy the promises of God. Women are included as well.
The AntiChrist Agenda
In these last days, the Spirit of AntiChrist will run rampant throughout the Earth as never before.
He will up the ante against women (and men), doing anything in his power to turn them away from God. He knows his time is limited. He knows what his future will be. So he is on the war path, so to speak. In fact, Scripture says about AntiChrist:
“Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.” Daniel 11:37
This verse greatly describes a man of complete lawlessness. He will believe himself to be greater than any god and will have no desire for women at all. Right up until the end of his time on Earth, Satan will hate women and influence many to act on his hatred.
Currently, some antichrists already have an agenda. To implement their Sharia Law worldwide. If that happens, oppression against women will increase to unprecedented levels. Rapists will be allowed to go free while the victims will be killed or imprisoned. Wives and daughters will be legally abused and/or killed for pretty much no reason at all. All females will be cut horrifically while men will continue to whore around with whomever they feel like. If women aren’t cut, they will be considered whores. Men, however, will be free to be whores themselves and practice homosexuality. Whatever evil is in the heart of man will be implemented ten-fold.
Sharia Law is designed by Satan, to abuse women, under a religion of Satan. Actually, a demonic prince who has a major stronghold over the Middle East and has blinded his followers to the truth of Jesus Christ and of how women are really supposed to be treated.
Women (and men) are created in the image of the one true God of Heaven. God loves and cherishes women. As should all men. God distinctly says in His Word that men are to love their wives as Christ loves the Church. He gave His life for it, remember? (Ephesians 5:25) He wants women to be protected.
Scripture also says to forgive our enemies, those who persecute us. It says not to take vengeance against anyone because that is God’s place. (Romans 12:19) Christianity is a religion of love and forgiveness, not of violence or hatred. That is Satan’s domain.
If Satan can get someone to break every law of the one true God, he will certainly try. And he is influencing atrocities against both men and women in many parts of the world. And if Satan gets his way, those atrocities will soon be in America, with the complete favor of Satan’s man in power. A man under the complete influence of the coming AntiChrist.
I tell you these things not to frighten you, but to make you realize your need for Jesus Christ. He is a true and loving God, a forgiving God who loves all of His creation. He is kind and merciful to all men and all women, even those who commit evil acts, if they turn away from their sins. He does not condone violence, hatred, or abuse of women, children, or animals. He created you, and He loves you. When you are completely His, He will guide your steps and lead you into all righteousness and truth. He will fight your battles and storms, whatever you come up against. And if your time comes to die, at least you know you will spend eternity in Heaven with Him and not in hell with those who tormented you here on Earth. Life through the freedom of Jesus Christ does not end here, but goes on into eternity. Those following Satan have nothing to look forward to but eternity in Hell, unfortunately, unless they turn from their evil ways and accept Jesus Christ into their hearts as Lord and Savior.
The Value Of Women
God loves all women, as I said. They were not put on this earth to just survive, but to have an abundant life. God promises this to all believers. (John 10:10)
As Jean Wright wrote, “It takes both men and women to bring forth the fullness of Christ in the Church. It likewise requires the ministry of both men and women to bring the church to maturity.”
Women are as valuable to God as men are. God gave each of us a purpose and will help us to fulfill that purpose. Also, women are to respect their husbands, and husbands are to love their wives as they love themselves. Nowhere in Scripture does it say to commit violence or murder against women. The greatest commandments of all are that we love the Lord our God with all of our hearts, minds, and souls, (Matthew 22:37) and that we love our neighbor as ourselves (Mark 12:31). This means women as well as men.
Also, God has promised, in Acts 2:17:
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and yours sons AND YOUR DAUGHTERS shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.”
God’s Word is clear. Not just our sons, but our daughters are also included in this promise.
So it is written. So let it be done.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.” (John 10:10)
THIS IS WHAT GOD MADE WOMEN TO BE:
THIS IS WHAT SATAN WANTS FOR ALL WOMEN:
(Be forewarned, the following is extremely graphic. Click on the link to see the video.)
Once upon a time, I was angry because of the attacks against me by the enemy, through people I cared about and who I had been kind to.
So one night, I remember going out to take a stand for Jesus, knowing I would not turn against Him or change my mind about Him. Although a believer in Jesus for many years, I still had a lot to learn, I was soon to discover.
I challenged Satan in a way I probably should regret, but I don’t. Because it was a tremendous learning experience for me. One that taught me new things and strengthened my faith in a mighty way.
It was late, a warm summer’s eve, so I went to a nearby park. It is a small park so I knew I was the only one there and that no one would hear me. Satisfied I was alone, I then got out of my car and walked into the middle of a huge grassy field there. Raising an emphatic fist, I recall shouting in a loud, authoritative voice, “I will never turn from God, do you hear me, Satan? Never!”
I can’t remember if I said anything else. If I did, it might have been, “No matter what you do to me.” Regardless, I had made my stand for Christ and returned home, satisfied I had made myself clear to the enemy. I had also released my anger toward him at the same time, so I felt better.
Unfortunately, after that, it didn’t take long for Satan to up the ante against me. Things started happening in my life that to this day boggle my mind. So let me tell you, if you are one of those people who do not believe in Satan or God, let me tell you just how wrong you are in believing that. Both are as real as you can ever imagine. I have felt the power of God, through His Spirit, and the power of Satan as well.
SATANIC OPPRESSION
A few nights after taking my stand for Christ, I was having trouble sleeping. I felt this incredible force atop me, pressing down on me, crushing me. I had never felt anything like it before. So, I got up and went outside of my apartment, to sit on the front stoop to contemplate what was going on. I prayed while I sat there and came to understand that it was a form of demonic oppression that was weighing on me.
The next day, I discovered that my neighbors across the hall, who I had been so nice to, were stealing UPS packages from me. When I discovered this, I left a note for UPS not to leave my packages with any of my neighbors. But before the carrier got my note, the neighbors had come home and ripped the notice off my door, which made them furious upon reading it.
At any rate, things escalated from there. I had to involve UPS, my landlord, and all numbers of other people to deal with this problem. All of it instigated by Satan, my enemy.
Every time I walked by their window, these people, unbelievers who apparently despised me in secret, would verbally harass and antagonize me. I called the police in to ask what I could do, receiving sound advice. Although nothing worked against the threats being laid against me and my children. So, I decided to try something I had not done before.
I decided to take Jesus Christ at His Word.
Now, I have been a strong believer since I was nine years old. I had read the Bible through many times and spent a lot of time praying and going to church. But unfortunately, none of the churches I attended had ever taught me what I really needed to survive in this evil world.
HOW TO PUT THE WORD OF GOD INTO PRACTICE
Perhaps you already know this, but it took me thirty or so years to actually learn what I finally did put into practice. Why? Not just because it wasn’t really taught me in church the way it should have been. But mainly because, it was scary. Plain and simple.
Seeing something on paper is not always the same as putting what it says into effect. I am sure many of you have heard that before. I used to work for a large corporation, and the workers experienced that many times. One thing we all learned there is that everything looks good on paper. But implementation may have disastrous results or cause other problems.
At any rate, here is what I started doing, as difficult for me and as scary as it was for me. Because I wasn’t certain what the repercussions were going to be. I had already been through a lot. As a divorced, single parent, I was afraid for the safety of my children. My car had been vandalized, my apartment robbed, and our lives threatened.
I began blessing my enemies. Literally. Every time I walked by them, and they started in on me.
If you haven’t done that already, you cannot imagine the power those words have on people.
Each time I walked by those people, I would say, “God bless you, my brother (or sister, as the case may have been).” Then I just kept walking because, after I blessed them, they fell silent, apparently feeling convicted of their evil against me.
THE POWER IN JESUS’ NAME
Once I got used to blessing my enemies, for the Word of God says to bless and not to curse your enemies, I started putting it more into practice. It is one thing to pray for your enemies. But to literally bless them is an entirely different ball of wax. (Romans 12:14)
One day, I was coming from a store, when I encountered another neighbor who had been causing me problems. A teenager who talked her boy friend into harassing me. Now, I barely knew this girl but went to school with her mother, who had told me that she had been recruited by a Satanic cult. Which explained her immediate dislike of me. When the power of God is strong in a person, that person will automatically be hated by someone who is against Him.
At any rate, I watched this girl shove her boy friend in my direction, whispering to him on what to say to me. So, laughing, he said something to me that I won’t repeat here. Then, taking a deep breath, I said, “May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you!”
Instantly, and I mean instantly, this young man fell silent and took a step back, gaping at me. Then he says, rather sheepishly, I might add, “Well…I believe in Jesus.”
I just looked at him and said, “I see that you do.” Then I walked away. I had no trouble from him again, although the girl later tried getting a group of her other boy friends to vandalize my car, which I was able to prevent by just going out to watch them do it. Upon seeing me, they immediately took off.
The power of God in a person does that. While working in that corporation I told you of, sometimes I would just walk into the break room, and the entire group would suddenly stand up and rush out of the room, as if all the hounds of hell were after them. I never could figure that out, unless of course the people were doing something they should not have been when I walked in. Because I stand for Truth and Righteousness, I believe some people feel convicted by my mere presence sometimes.
EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW
Two apartments after these events, I moved to another house, which contained five apartments. Unfortunately, my experiences there were similar to the others. Only this time, I knew how to handle myself.
One of the neighbors, a family of cocaine dealers, I later discovered, and welfare frauders, apparently called the police on me, giving some lame reason. So two policemen, a man and a woman, showed up at my door, accusing me falsely of slamming a door, which I did not know was against the law anyways, even if it were true. But since the lawbreakers felt threatened by me, afraid I would turn them in for their crimes, they decided to try and rid themselves of my presence.
The male cop was extremely arrogant and very nasty to me, just assuming I was some evil person. The female officer kept silent while this young man berated me. So I stepped toward him and said what I told that other young man. “May the Lord Jesus Christ bless you!”
Well, that cop took one step back at my words and banged into the wall behind him (It was a very narrow hallway.), hitting his head on the wall.
Immediately, he fell silent, dropped his head humbly, guiltily, and the two officers just left. End of story.
So, folks. If you haven’t experienced the incredible power in the name of Jesus, I guarantee you will not doubt the existence of Jesus Christ ever again. If you have, know only that you can grow more confident in your weaponry, in the power of the Word of God, more than ever before.
I am at a point now in my life where God has told me that the enemy is nothing to me now. I know the power in Jesus’ name, and I have been given the authority by God to use it when the enemy is coming against me.
Be assured, if you are a born-again, Spirit-filled Christian, that you, too, have that power and authority over all the works of darkness and over all evil and demonic spirits.
Jesus’ name also has the power to heal and perform miracles, but a believer must, of course, usually have those gifts for such things to happen.
Regardless, the Word of God is more powerful than many realize. I strongly urge you to memorize it, study it, read it, and use it, putting it into practice…literally.
“PROVE ME,” SAITH THE LORD. I WILL PROVIDE.
Following my divorce, I had to go on public assistance for awhile because I could not earn enough as a legal secretary to make ends meet. So instead, I went back to school.
Meanwhile, it was a struggle every day. Food was in short supply, and there were times I had absolutely nothing and was getting tired of it. So, here is what I did. Again, I put God’s Word into practice.
I parked myself at my kitchen table, after my children had gone off to school, and had a conversation with the Lord about my situation. This time, I challenged Him to prove Himself to me.
“God,” I said. “If your Word is true, then provide what I need.” I can’t recall the exact words, but they were similar to these. Now God already knew what I needed, but I gave Him a small list of what I wanted most. That morning, I didn’t even have breakfast because there was nothing left to eat.
I swear to you, in a matter of seconds after I prayed, there came a knock at my door. It was a neighbor who lived in another building of the apartment complex I was living in at the time. (Yes, the one I mentioned earlier.)
My friend came in with a bag of donuts. So there you have it. Instantly. God’s provision for my breakfast.
I thought that was pretty cool. Why? Because I had been raised Catholic, and such things just weren’t taught us while growing up, that God would ACTUALLY provide for us like that.
Then, as my friend and I were enjoying the donuts, the phone rang. It was my parents. They asked me to go to Sam’s Club with them. They said they would give me half of whatever they bought there. So, heck yeah. I jumped at that opportunity. So after breakfast, my parents arrived, and off we went. And believe me, I came home with so much stuff, paper towels, toilet paper, basic supplies, foods, even a book I’d been wanting that my father said he’d buy me, I just could not believe it. Talk about God’s provision. I could not stop praising Him.
But the story doesn’t end there.
Later that day, another of my friends arrived. With her came a ton of frozen foods she had brought from her freezer that she wasn’t going to use. So I piled them into my freezer and…couldn’t shut the door because there was just so much. My freezer was filled to overflowing. As God’s Word promises. “…Prove Me now, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” Malachia 3:10 KJV
I would like to tell you that this story stops here, but it doesn’t. That entire week, God continued providing for me in unexpected ways. Some free strawberries from a fruit farm came my way, and one afternoon, I came home to find a letter under my door, containing a $100 bill from an anonymous gifter.
Is God cool or what?
I cannot tell you the joy, the disbelief, and the excitement I felt all that week. I had challenged God to prove Himself. And…He…Did!! God be praised! I still get all choked up when I think about that time in my life. It was memorable and completely wonderful. And it took away any further doubts I may have had. I knew then I would never starve to death or have to go without anything again because God would keep His promises to me…and to all of His people. He provides for and takes care of His own. And He knows who they are.
So take God at His Word, folks. Everything He says in the Bible is True. I know firsthand because I have received and lived a life of blessing and provision. And I can’t love Him enough for it. He has indeed proven Himself to me, over and over again. That’s not to say I haven’t had some rough times along the way because I have. But God’s love for me overshadows all of the bad times.
So tell me. Will you take your stand for Christ? Trust Him to provide for you and protect you? And love Him and be obedient to Him, because He desires that from us, too?
The time is short. If you do not have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, please accept Him into your heart, into your life, before AntiChrist comes to power. You will be glad you did.
God bless you all!
For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12 KJV)
“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10 KJV)
“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.” Romans 12:14 KJV
“And whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.” (John 14:13 KJV)
Yes, America…and Britain. As difficult as it is to believe. We. Are. Israel. We are descended through Jacob’s son, Joseph. Then through Joseph’s two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh. (Genesis 48:17-20)
Britain came through the line of Ephraim; America through the line of Manasseh. As history reveals, many migrated from England to the shores of North America. Over time, the colonies established there grew into the United States of America.
It is because of Jacob’s blessings on Joseph’s sons that we have thrived as two of the greatest nations in the world. (Genesis 48:14-20) According to Scripture, Ephraim and Manasseh together received the right to the name Israel. Their descendants were never Jews. Jews came through the line of Judah, another of Jacob’s sons. (Read I and II Kings and I and II Chronicles which devote more to the two, separate, rival nations of Judah and Israel.)
Also, if you recall, Jacob was renamed by God and called Israel. (Genesis 32:28) This label, this name, came upon Ephraim and Manasseh. It became the national name of their descendants.
Therefore, the real Israel, racially and nationally, is Ephraim and Manasseh.
Ephraim, Manasseh And The Lost Tribes
According to Scripture, Manasseh was to become the single great nation; Ephraim, the company of nations. Or, the United States of America and the British Commonwealth:
“In Genesis 48:19, Jacob prophesied that Manasseh “shall become a people, and he also shall be great,” but added that Ephraim’s descendants “shall be greater than [Manasseh], and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.” With these words Jacob prophesied that Manasseh and Ephraim would receive the blessing of Genesis 35:11 that the “birthright” promises would eventually include “a nation and a company of nations.” Genesis 48:19 specifically foretold the descendants of Ephraim (the younger brother) would become the “multitude of nations” while Manasseh’s descendants would become the single great nation…
“Since Ephraim was to be the “greater” of the two, and received its birthright blessing first, we should expect that Ephraim would receive its inheritance before Manasseh. History fulfilled that expectation. Great Britain rose to international prominence before the United States, and was a major international power for centuries before being replaced by the United States in the post-World War II period. At its zenith, the British Empire also ruled over many more nations and a far greater geographic area than the United States ever has. For a time, it was true that “the sun never set on the British Empire” because the British Empire ruled much of the world! At its zenith, it ruled over Great Britain, Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, many Black African nations, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Burma, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, eastern New Guinea, and any islands in Oceania. It was without question, the most expansive empire in the history of our planet. According to the 1943 Edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica, the British Empire once ruled 13 million square miles of the earth’s land surface. (And that was before British rule was temporarily extended over Palestine, Jordan and Iraq after World War II!) Britain’s navies also controlled much of the world’s sea surface as well. “Britannia rules the waves” was a common axiom in Britain’s glory days. The British Empire inherited the “birthright” promises of controlling the “gate of its enemies” (strategic “chokepoints” such as the Suez Canal, Gibraltar, and the Cape of Good Hope). British ownership of the Falkland Islands controlled access around Cape Horn between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and its colony in Singapore controlled the strategic Strait of Malacca between the Indian Ocean and the South China Sea.
“The United States of America (Manasseh) inherited its “birthright” portion after Ephraim had inherited its dominant portion of the “birthright.” At its height, Manasseh ruled the United States, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii (which later became states), Cuba and various islands in Oceania. The United States long controlled the Panama canal, one of the world’s most strategic “gates.” While the United States is clearly more powerful than Great Britain in our modern world, the British empire was far greater in a historical sense. While the British sought to expand its empire, the United States has exhibited an “isolationist” tendency in its history, and has not sought to rule a large empire. While the British used their armies to conquer and hold territory, America typically withdraws its armies quickly from conquered territory. In World Wars I and II, the Persian Gulf War, etc., America has exhibited no desire to create an empire out of conquered territory, even though it had the power to easily do so.” (Excerpt from pages 385 to 389 of The “Lost” Ten Tribes of Israel…Found by Steven M. Collins.) (http://www.servantsnews.com/sn9705/s705011.htm)
“Not all who came to America – the melting pot – were of the line of Manasseh, but many were. The proof that we are Manasseh is overwhelming. Manasseh was to separate from Ephraim and become the greatest, wealthiest single nation of earth’s history. We alone, America, through the line of Manasseh, have fulfilled that blessed prophecy.
“Joseph was one of the twelve tribes. His children were blessed jointly, but Manasseh became a thirteenth tribe because it separated from Ephraim. This may also explain why thirteen colonies were initially set up in America. Thirteen is actually a blessed number, not one to be avoided by superstition.
“The remaining eight tribes of Israel were also blessed, although they were scattered to different areas of the world. However, there is evidence to confirm that such were descended into many northwestern nations which include Holland, Belgium, Denmark, northern France, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Sweden, and Norway. The people of Iceland are also of Viking stock.
“The nations of northwestern Europe are, in fact, the people of The Ten Tribes of Israel.” (Armstrong, pp. 103-104.)
What This Means For America And Britain
So now that our true identity has been established, confirming that we are descendants of Israel, what does this mean for America and Britain?
Well, to put it bluntly, if you are not saved and have Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior, you will soon face a corrective punishment from God, seven times more intense than the world has ever seen. The Tribulation. (Leviticus 26:21)
Man is walking contrary to God’s laws. The two worst sins we have refused to repent of are idolatry and Sabbath breaking. We have also allowed the legalization of heinous sins that God abhors.
“But, I go to church every Sunday,” you may argue. Well, the sad Truth is, is that Saturday is the true Sabbath, not Sunday. Anyone honoring the true Sabbath sets them apart from the sun worshippers. God distinctly said, in His Word, “It {the Sabbath] is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever, for in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.” (Exodus 31:17)
Did you notice it? Honoring the true Sabbath is a sign. It sets true believers, those who are obedient and committed to following God’s laws, as apart. It is a way for God to separate the sheep from the goats, especially during the last days. Today, although many know the truth of this command, one that pertains to all of mankind forever, not just Israel or the Jews, they refuse to change their Sunday worship schedules. And those churches that refuse to repent of this and change their way of doing things, and their false doctrines, will be punished for it.
As the Sabbath is a sign, so will be the Mark of the Beast. Both are voluntary. God gives us the ability to choose to honor the Sabbath, as He commands. And He gives us the choice as to whether or not to take the Mark of the Beast. Again, to take the Mark will guarantee the bearer an eternity in Hell because it identifies that person with the Satanic system of the AntiChrist.
So, basically, you should honor the True Sabbath and do NOT take the Mark of the Beast, the coming RFID chip.
The Pride Of Our Power
It wasn’t until after 1800 A. D. that both America and the United Kingdom began to grow into riches and power so vast that no other nation had ever experienced them before. This came about because of the blessings of Ephraim and Manasseh. But, by 1966, we began to lose all these things. Why? Because of the pride of our power and our ungratefulness to God, Who gave us all of it. These are sins that have added to the downward spiral of both Britain (once called Great) and America. Because of all these sins, we will be correctively punished by God.
According to Herbert W. Armstrong, “…By 1966…the British Colonial Office in London closed its doors, marking the official death of the British Empire.” (The United States and Britain in Prophecy, p. 154)

“Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I AM the LORD your God.

* * * *
Yes, according to Scripture, just as God punished the Israelites who rebelled against Him after He brought them safely out of Egypt, America and Britain will be punished.
As mentioned, Britain’s sun has already set, and America is rapidly teetering on the edge of the greatest fall of any nation before it. Because we have sinned and rebelled against God and His laws. And unless we repent and turn away from our wickedness, we will suffer the consequences. To correct us, we will be conquered and invaded by our enemies and become slaves, as did the Israelites before us. Because of the United Nations of Europe.
Have you not noticed where America is now headed? We have a weakened military, a declining economic system, extremes of poverty such as never has been experienced here before. Had you been paying attention, you would have realized that we have not won a war in years. And don’t forget what happened on September 11, 2011, to name a few instances of our decline.
The ball has already been set into motion. America and Britain have turned from God. And we are on the brink of total domination by the New World Order, in the form of Communism. I don’t think I need explain what that means, folks. It means control over us, complete slavery to our enemies, the evil of this world. Domination by AntiChrist.
There Is Hope
Not everyone will fall under slavery or complete control. It is through Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, that many will be counted worthy to escape what is to come. However, we need to understand that He will punish our nation, and others, as a corrective measure. To bring us back to Him completely. We have become stubborn, hardhearted, and rebellious. The coming Tribulation is meant to teach us total submission to His authority and to break our rebellion. He has been patient long enough, and our time is up. But know that God loves us sincerely. He is not punishing us out of hatred for us or because He enjoys it. It is now necessary for our own good. We have always known that our sins have consequences. We are soon to find out what those consequences will be. And it won’t be pleasant.
“Scripture reveals that the throne of David was first overturned by Jeremiah and replanted in Ireland. It was overturned a second time and replanted in Scotland. It was overturned a third time and replanted in London. So when Jesus Christ returns to earth to sit on that throne, it will be a live, existing throne. Not a non-existent one. (Luke 1:32) When Jesus returns, He will then set us free from our yokes of slavery under which the AntiChrist will place many. But, until then, America and Britain will suffer a punishment unlike anything the world has ever known. Seven times worse than anything in history.” (Armstrong, p. 102)
Individuals who yield to and accept God’s correction shall be protected from the worst of the Tribulation. However, all nations as a whole will have to go through it at some point. Not just America and Britain. But until people turn from their evil ways and turn back to the ways that cause peace, happiness, prosperity, and all good things that God has for us, He will keep chastising us intensely. Sevenfold.

“For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved [alive]: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” (Matthew 24:21-22 KJV)

I have recently updated the post: GABRIEL HAS ALREADY BLOWN HIS TRUMPET by adding the second part of the prophecy given by Sister Elisabeth Sherrie Elijah, from the ministry at www.AmightyWind.com. So make sure you go to that post and watch both videos prior to viewing those below.
The following videos are continuations of those prophecies, on how to deal with the zombies – the demons of Satan – who Elisabeth prophesies will arise from the pits of Hell during the coming Tribulation.
I’m not sure where I stand on the issue of zombies, but the videos make a lot of sense, so I will seek the Lord more on this matter, to learn the Truth for myself. Better safe than sorry.
The sin that brought about the rapid fall and destruction of many of the Israelites, and even hundreds of years thereafter.
Yet, here we are. Being led down that same path. Through movies, music, videos, even sports.
Idolatry.
*Definition: (1) The worship of a physical object as a god. (2) Immoderate attachment or devotion to something.
Then there’s the word, idolize.
Idolize.
*Definition: (1) To worship as a god; broadly: to love or admire to excess: to practice idolatry.
Basically, anything that takes your focus away from God, causing you to ignore Him, disobey Him, or forget about Him can be considered idolatry. God must always be first and foremost in your life. Not just any god. I’m talking about Jesus Christ, the one True God of Heaven.
Unfortunately, we may all be guilty of this in some way, shape, or form. We all have favorite movie stars, singers, or sports teams. Although there is nothing wrong with admiring someone or the work they do, it is when we put those people or things first in our lives and hearts, idolizing them, THEN IT IS CONSIDERED SIN IN THE EYES OF GOD.
God wants our obedience, our worship above all things in our lives. When we deliberately shove Him away and disobey His Word, what He commands us to do, then we are walking in sin.
HOLLYWOOD AND THE ILLUMINATI ARE LEADING US INTO DESTRUCTION
Since 1770, for 242 years, the Illuminati (freemasons, secret societies) have controlled the music industry.
The majority of Americans, except those who are in those evil, secret societies, may be unaware of the incredible power structure overlording the entertainment industry. From the day we are born, most of us are raised watching television, seeing rich movie stars, all the glamour and glitz associated with Hollywood, popular singers, or sports. We have listened to different forms of music and watched all sorts of movies. It seemed inevitable that we would all be exposed to it at some point in time. Again, there is nothing wrong with this, if you are viewing good, clean family entertainment, or whatever. However, when it takes all of your devotion, your heart, your attention away from the true God of Heaven, then there is a definite problem.
When you prefer to go to a football game, a movie, or a rock concert (or watch it on T. V.) instead of going to church or a Bible study when you should, then your priorities are definitely in the wrong place. Assuming you believe there is a God. If you don’t, then that is a detriment to your soul as well.
When you begin to idolize movie stars, pop singers, or whoever, instead of worshipping GOD, then you are walking in direct disobedience to God’s Word. And yes, we are all guilty of this, I believe, in some ways. We have been raised with all of it, as part of American culture. And, unfortunately, our ways and culture have infected the rest of the world as well. This is one reason why God’s judgment is about to fall upon America. Because we have allowed it to happen. Because we have allowed Hollywood to take the place of Almighty God and steer us away from the righteousness of His Truth. If you are guilty of it, then you must repent and turn away from it. Get your heart right with God.
Unfortunately, many Americans just didn’t and still don’t know any better. I know of people who know nothing of Jesus Christ or the way of salvation. That includes people right here in America, not just in remote parts of China or other areas of the world. I have personally encountered such people, and I have been told that religion just wasn’t part of their life while growing up. They knew nothing of church or God, only what they saw on T. V. or whatever.
That is a tragedy in this day and age. Still, God’s Word says that Jesus will not return to Earth until EVERYONE – ALLNATIONS – have heard the Good News. EVERYONE. (Matthew 24:14)
Again, it is all right to admire certain people, so long as you don’t aspire to be like them, dressing like them, emulating (imitating) them, idolizing them.
As believers, we are to aspire to be like Jesus Christ, in our hearts, our behaviors, our thoughts. If you love Him and have a committed relationship with Him, then this is what you should be doing. God desires to mold and shape us into His likeness, His image, in every way possible. Not into the shape or likeness of another human being. He made us all unique individuals. We should aspire not just to be molded into God’s image; we should aspire to be the best person we can be, the person He has made us to be, not someone else.
I have no wish to patronize you, as I know you probably know all these things. But there are many people out there who profess to be Christians, yet do not serve God as they should. Instead, they pour themselves into, whether consciously or unconsciously, worshipping, idolizing other human beings. Sadly, it is with the help of the entertainment industry which is, in fact, controlled and directed by Satan, through the Illuminati. It is their mission to bring all people under the authority of God’s enemy and straight into eternal hellfire.
And our children are their targets. Which is why it is important that parents guide them and teach them in the ways of God, the one true God of Heaven. To leave them to flounder in the wickedness of the world means that we have lost them already. As parents, it is our responsibility to “train up a child in the way he should go.” (Proverbs 22:6)
God will hold us all accountable for what we have failed to teach or do for our children.
SELLING SOULS FOR FAME AND FORTUNE
It is sad to think of our own children selling their souls to Satan for fame and fortune. It is also a bit sad to think of others you may care about doing the same thing.
For years, the entertainment industry has been harboring a dark and dirty secret.
It is stealing the souls of actors, actresses, singers, and other entertainers who are told that if they want to be filthy rich, to be in the $20 million to $100 million and above club, then they need to sign a contract. A contract wherein they agree to whatever the Illuminati wants them to do.
It is shocking when you learn how many of our favorite movie stars and singers have given their souls to Satan, some with a blood pact which may involve the death of loved ones or close friends (human blood sacrifices). Or even someone they are jealous of and want to be like.
Much of this is hard to research, yet there are plenty of videos out there that share this dirty little secret. And amazingly, few people aren’t even aware that this is happening in our society. Granted, anyone can make a video and put anything they want into it. Yet the videos I am sharing below have made every effort to expose what is really happening in Hollywood. Interestingly enough, there are so many of them out there that it is hard NOT to believe that the Illuminati is behind all of the untimely deaths of some of our most famous and popular personages.
Usually, suspicions are raised when someone famous, say Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, or Heath Ledger, unexpectedly die. Granted, it may be due to an unfortunate accident, complete negligence, or even an illness. But when friends or family members of the deceased state publicly that they believed their loved one was murdered, then red flags should go up. It is then you should consider that perhaps these people refused to allow themselves to be controlled by the Illuminati. It is then you should consider that, perhaps, these people were deliberately exterminated because they said, ‘No, I will not do these evil things.”
Also, much of the music industry has been geared toward brainwashing our children. The music, the lyrics, all is geared toward the occult and, sadly, our children are being manipulated toward that end. It is a deliberate attempt to take control of our children. Mind control is at the forefront, much as it was in the days of Adolph Hitler.
THE NEW WORLD ORDER AGENDA
People wonder who would want to hurt celebrities that so many idolize, worship, and love. But in one word, it is clear. Illuminati.
The New World Order has an agenda, and it involves controlling the wealth of nations. In America, it is mainly the rich who have sold their souls, just for power and greater wealth, because of greed. Personally, I always thought this was sort of stupid. Hollywood fans are what feed the industry, yet the rich don’t seem to think about this. Or it just doesn’t matter to them. They probably have a plan to cover the losses anyways.
With one of the NWO agendas being to wipe out 90% of the world population in order to make the world more manageable, then who is to be left? Will they just sit back and play with their money to amuse themselves? Those remaining will certainly not live forever. If all the people in entertainment die off, then what will these people do? Watch reruns of old movies because there won’t be anyone left to act in new ones, at least until their new children grow up? I would love to know the entire plan, just out of curiosity.
The Illuminati – men, in general – believe they have everything figured out. They are going to kill millions and take control, to satisfy their twisted logic and greed. But in the end, it is God who will have the last laugh. Every evil member of the NWO, the Illuminati, will wind up in hellfire for eternity. So what’s the point of what they are doing anyways? It would be so nice if they would all just mind their own business and leave everyone else alone so they can live a nice, peaceful life. But no. That is not the way of things to come.
It is simple, however, if you know Scripture. Satan is behind all of this. He wants to corrupt the world, annihilate all true believers in Jesus Christ, take God’s place and be worshipped by those remaining on the earth. Anyone who refuses will die. Plain and simple. Biblically, this is all part of a bigger plan, a divine plan. God’s plan for all of mankind. In the end, it will be the saints of God who will judge the world, so who knows what the wicked are thinking they will get away with. (1 Corinthians 6:20)
THE COMING MARK OF THE BEAST
The NWO is doing everything it can to keep Barry in the Presidency. We all know it.
The implementation of the RFID chip, once he is reelected, may very well begin the greatest slaughter of Christians the world has ever known. It will aid the AntiChrist in coming to power and perhaps bring the Mark of the Beast into fruition. I say it this way because no one is actually certain if the chip is the actual Mark or just a means to that end. Regardless, anyone who wants to go to Heaven in the end must say no to this chip. Even under torture, you must NOT take the RFID chip. Plan now for the future. Stock up on necessary survival items (there are plenty of websites, etc. out there that can share information on what you will need), and prepare your family for what is to come. And fear not, because God is in control of all of these events coming down the line. If you are not saved, then I strongly urge you to accept Jesus Christ into your heart and commit your life fully to Him. Know that if you take the Mark, you will spend eternity in hellfire. There is no compromise on this. You will burn if you take Satan’s mark.
Regarding Hollywood, I for one have backed away, pretty much boycotted anything out there that involves those who have sold their souls to Satan. I never liked a lot of their secular work anyways. Rihanna and Jay-Z are two big names that come to mind. More recently, I heard that Selena Gomez, whom I have really enjoyed as an actress and singer, has sold her soul, too. Such a waste of a beautiful, talented young woman.
Trying to get people to boycott Hollywood is going to be difficult for many who love going to movies, etc. George Clooney and a few other stars who have strongly supported Barry have really disappointed me, so I will not be supporting them by paying to see their films in future. It shouldn’t be hard for me, since I haven’t gone to the movies or rented any in several years anyways. I was raised to be an avid moviegoer, so it has been hard for me to break away from this habit. However, Jesus Christ is well worth my deprivation. I love Him and will stand by Him…and be obedient till the end.
“DO AS WE TELL YOU…OR ELSE.”
Below are a few videos that may wise you up to just who Hollywood is recruiting into Satan’s realm, destroying and even murdering those among them who have refused to be a part of it all. As I look at some of the major stars out there, I can only wonder if they have sold their souls, too, to achieve the megabucks. Sad, but very possible.
When you listen to what Michael Jackson says in one of the videos, you can hear him warning us about what is going on. His sister, in another video, states that she believed he was murdered. Also, it was in the news that his own family believed he was murdered. Based on what came from their own lips, you can understand that it is possible and most likely true that the Illuminati may have been behind what happened to Him.
Only God knows the Truth and those who may be behind any of the evil going on in Hollywood. I just want you to be aware that you need to focus on God, worship Him alone, and stay away from what God disapproves of.
In closing, pay attention to the video which shares how those who have joined with Satan all wear a red bracelet. It may or may not shock and surprise some of you just who have sold their souls for fame and fortune. Oddly enough, Michael Jackson is seen wearing the red bracelet, so it makes you wonder why he may have been killed, if that was what really happened. Perhaps the pressure against him was too great, the manipulation too powerful. He may have done or agreed to things he really didn’t want to do. And you need to realize that these same tactics, threats, tortures may very well be used against all those who refuse to take the RFID chip, so prepare yourself for this coming persecution.
This is a quote from the video, “The Illuminati murdered Michael Jackson full version – They Made Him White With Drugs.”:
“The only way you can become a celebrity if is the Illuminati allow you to. If you’re a singer and you refuse to sing songs which contain Satanic lyrics with backward messages, then you can guarantee that your credibility will be destroyed, and if you decide to speak out truth, you will be killed.
“Bob Marley, Tupac, and Michael Jackson were killed. If you know about Tupac’s story, you would know that he was framed for rape as a threat. Tupac did not like being controlled.”
So that’s the truth of it. The sad sad truth.
So please, free yourself from idolatry and be holy, as God commands us to. (1 Peter 1:16)
And keep Jesus Christ first in your life and in your heart.
“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is He that giveth thee power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” (Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV)
The following are but a few of the videos that are out there. You can find similar videos on Beyoncè, Snoop Dogg, Justin Bieber, etc., if you are curious. Also, I would suggest you view these videos quickly since any one of them may disappear at any time as others have from this website.
Some of these videos I will make available right away, due to their importance. Others, I will just give you the links to. Just click on them, and you will be taken to www.YouTube.com in order to view them.
Be forewarned, some posted below may contain offensive words and content:
My entire life I never struggled with forgiving people as I do now. Perhaps because I have only now just come across the path of some of the most wicked people I have ever met. And for good reason.
God had a plan, to teach me how to forgive the most unforgiveable of people on the planet, people who have done such evil against me that I was shocked when it happened. I was not deserving of this evil against me, but I know in my heart that it was not done against me so much as it was a sign of hatred against what I believe, of what I stand for. That is, Jesus Christ.
God’s Word says that “ye shall be hated by all men for my name’s sake.” (Mark 13:13; Matthew 10:22; Luke 21:17 KJV) How true that statement is.
Considering what is about to happen upon the Earth, it is no wonder that the Lord brought this topic to mind. God has instructed me to teach the nations what they should know. Forgiveness is a major area of concern. Because unforgiveness retards spiritual growth and can bring about severe repercussions as well.
In the future, God’s people and entire nations will come up against the most evil of His enemies: AntiChrist and his supporters. Unspeakable atrocities are about to occur that will tempt even the most devout of God’s believers to fall away from the faith.
But it doesn’t have to be that way. So long as we understand what is happening…and why.
PREPARE YOUR HEARTS FOR THE COMING TRIBULATION
I have already taken steps to forgive those who will do evil against me in future. Before I even meet them. I have no desire to test God in this matter. Love and forgiveness of our enemies is key to our standing firm for Christ during the coming Tribulation.
If there is a pre-Tribulation rapture as many believe, then that would be great. But as I have stated, I do not believe there will be such a thing. There will be a rapture, but not until later, I believe, when the seventh trumpet of God sounds. (Matthew 24:31)
At any rate, people must learn now how to forgive with all of their hearts, minds, and souls.
And controlling one’s thoughts and emotions is key to forgiving.
God has warned me repeatedly not to hold grudges. He knew in advance how many would do evil against me and hurt me. He put me through the most trying episode of my life recently…and all for one reason.
To teach me to forgive wholeheartedly so that I may share His Truth with the world on this matter.
FORGIVENESS IS A CHOICE
Yes, it is true that forgiveness is a choice we must make. We choose to forgive or to hold grudges and hate the one who has wronged us. But what is not often taught is that the most effective, most powerful way to forgive is to take control of our thoughts, because the enemy uses one’s mind as his battleground. Evil, hate-filled thoughts of vengeance and vindictiveness or even murder take root in a person’s brain when they have been wronged. This is due to our carnal spirits. If a person nurses those evil thoughts and eventually acts upon them, then he is committing a terrible sin. And we must all remember that if we choose not to forgive, then God will not forgive us of our sins.
A person can be a famous evangelist, preacher, a local minister of the Truth of Jesus Christ – anyone. He/she may be considered the most wonderful person alive. The person himself may believe he/she has done everything right, for the glory of God, when in fact, he/she may still go to hell when he/she dies.
THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR DISOBEDIENCE
The Truth is: You must forgive anyone who has done evil against you, or you may go to hell, regardless of what you believe you deserve. Because God will not forget or forgive your sins if you do not forgive, as He has commanded us to.
Learn to control your thoughts and your emotions. Self-control is from the Holy Spirit of God. Ask Him to help you to forgive as Jesus Christ forgives us of our sins and iniquities, readily and sincerely. If you do not, you may very well find yourself a citizen of hell in the end, and not be where you expected to find yourself. This is so important for you to understand.
I believe that one of the most important Scriptural verses to help us learn to control our thoughts is found below:
“And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ.
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report: if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
“Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard and seen in Me, do: and the God of peace shall be with you.” (Philippians 4:7-9 KJV)
CONTROLLING OUR THOUGHTS IS THE KEY
Controlling our thoughts is indeed the key to forgiving others.
If you allow the enemy to entertain thoughts in your mind every time you see a certain person, allowing him to stir up every negative thought or emotion you ever had towards that person, it is then you must take control and nip things in the bud, so to speak.
Take control over these evil thoughts and put Philippians 4:8 into immediate play. Only then can you be truly victorious over the enemy and free yourself from his every attempt to stir you to hatred or unforgiveness in your heart.
The minute you begin to nurse your vengeful, evil thoughts or actually begin to act upon them, then you are walking into dangerous territory. Your choice to hang onto such thoughts or negative emotions and to act upon them may very well lead you straight into hell. It may also bring about repercussions from that person or others who may wish to retaliate in kind against you. It is better to forgive, forget, and move on with your life, than to let the one who has wronged you control you forever.
So in true obedience to God take authority over every evil thought, word, or emotion that tempts you to sin. In Jesus’ name. And release unto Him those things so that you may have peace in your hearts and are able to move forward, toward spiritual growth. So that He may bless you with all the wonderful things He has in store for you.
You will be glad, in the end, that you did.
“Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near:
“Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” (Isaiah 55:6-7 KJV)
“A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.
“By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” (John 13:34-35 KJV)
The question was asked recently about how to identify an occult ministry.
Actually, there are many signs that may identify an occult ministry. But the easier thing to do would be to look for the signs of a true Church of Jesus Christ.
As I have mentioned previously, the best thing for believers to do right now is to form smaller cell groups with other like-minded, true believers and followers of Jesus Christ and His Word. Since the government now has allowed spies into our churches, one never knows who may be there seeking evil against churchgoers. Executive Order No. 13397 was passed into law by former President George W. Bush, giving the government this right back on March 7, 2006.
However, if you still wish to frequent a regular church, it is best to look for the signs of a true remnant church, one that has true followers of Jesus Christ, who are doing their best to walk in obedience with God and His Word – the Holy Bible.
GOD’S TRUE CHURCH
There are several ways to actually identify a true church of Jesus Christ:
(1) A true church of Jesus Christ will be Bible-believing, Bible-centered. It will teach about salvation and will help prepare you for the end-times, among other things. True believers walk in Spirit and in Truth.
(2) A true church of Jesus Christ will uplift Jesus at all times through praise and worship. There may be a noticeable spirt of joy in the true church, among the true believers there. It will be noticeably alive and vibrant. Since Jesus lives in the hearts of all true believers, it is difficult for us to remain silent and miserable. True believers are usually a happy, smiling, friendly bunch.
(3) A true church of Jesus Christ will sincerely be awaiting and believing in the second coming of Jesus Christ. The believers will also be making an effort to prepare the Bride (the Church) for the Bridegroom (Jesus Christ), when He comes, making corrections that need to be made, if any. That means staying away from man’s doctrines and faithfully adhering to God’s laws, among other things. No legalism must be present.
(4) A true church of Jesus Christ will teach the Biblical Truth about death, sharing the Truth of Heaven and Hell and what actually happens to a man’s soul after he dies. It will teach the importance of salvation.
(5) A true church of Jesus Christ will be a health-conscious church, basing its Truth on what is contained in the Bible: (i. e. not eating pork, getting plenty of rest and exercise, etc.)
(6) A true church of Jesus Christ will keep the Ten Commandments and teach GOD’s doctrines, NOT man’s. Believers will tithe in accordance with God’s will, as set forth in the Bible.
(7) A true church of Jesus Christ will teach that baptism is done by immersion, as done in the Bible, to all adults who know right from wrong and are able to choose for themselves if they want to follow Jesus Christ. True believers are completely immersed in water, NOT sprinkled. Baptism of the Spirit is also taught.
(8) A true church of Jesus Christ will have the gift of prophecy and will encourage believers’ use of their spiritual gifts.
(9) A true church of Jesus Christ will honor the real Sabbath, from sunset Friday night to sunset Saturday night.
(10) A true church of Jesus Christ will contain a body of believers who love, care for, and truly support one another, as Jesus wants us to do. And a true body of believers will serve God because they love Him, not because it makes them feel important, as men-pleasers.
I know that not all churches display all of the above characteristics, but if you can find an assembly of believers who are making a whole-hearted effort to obey God in accordance with His Word and who sincerely love Him, then your heart is at least in the right place. However, with your own cell group, with even a group of three or so, you can demonstrate all of these characteristics because God says that “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20 KJV)
And don’t feel that if you aren’t in an established church with a nice steeple on it, that you aren’t being obedient to God. If you meet at a friend’s home instead, with but a few others, you are still walking in obedience. Organized religion is not Biblically commanded.
In fact, in Hebrews 10:23-25 (KJV), it only states the following regarding God’s will in the matter: “Let us hold fast the confession of our faith without wavering: (for He is faithful that promised;) And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and good works: Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the Day approaching.”
AN OCCULT MINISTRY
Now, if you still need identifying signs of an occult ministry, then here is a list of some of its characteristics:
(1) There will be identifying occult and masonic symbolism. In fact, the following links have pictures and information to that effect, so there is no need for me to repeat any of it. Both of these websites are excellent resources for helping one discern if a ministry is into occultic practices.
It may shock you to see that some of these occultic symbols are displayed on the New King James version of the Bible, which is why I only read the original KJV. (I also read The Complete Jewish Bible.) See for yourself:
(2) There is a single, powerful human leader. He may, in fact, proclaim himself to be a god on earth. The leader of a supposed “ministry” I once attended was a control freak and felt the need to be uplifted all the time as if he desired our worship.
He once got up in front of our little group and bragged how someone saw him with a crown on his head and a long robe draped about his shoulders, and you could see how puffed up this man was with what he had been told. The man displayed haughtiness and arrogance as he acted this out before us, something no true man of God should ever display. The man was a true showman.
(3) The teachings of this cult overshadows God’s Truth. The “ministry” I once attended disallowed its members to even bring a Bible to the meetings. This is a sure sign that something is wrong, when this happens. The leader of such a “ministry” will not want to be exposed for the liar that he is. And when this supposed leader told me not to fast because we only need to eat protein, even that shocked me. Biblical fasting is a common practice among true believers.
(4) An occult ministry uses force to coerce its members to submit to their false practices and teachings. The “ministry” I once attended would not allow me to have a life or associate with anyone outside of the ministry group. I was publicly shredded or humiliated if I dared think about even skipping a meeting.
(5) A cult leader will teach a Jesus that is not found in the Bible. It wasn’t until after I left the “ministry” I was in that God told me about the leader of that cult. Someone gave me a prophecy later that told me that that man did not worship the same God that I worshipped. This wasn’t obvious during my time involved with the so-called “ministry”, perhaps because I was too close to it at the time. But I was quite shocked the day the man came in bragging to the group that he had finally learned to give praise to God. WHAT? The man was in his mid-60s, ran a supposed ministry, and had only just learned to praise God? Most born-again believers praise God the day they get saved.
(6) Occult ministries will not teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. An occult ministry will teach a gospel of good works instead, expecting you to earn your way to Heaven.
Jim Jones, for example, taught his followers that by drinking Kool-Aid they would be set free. Charles Manson taught his followers that murder was a good work.
The “ministry” I was in never taught much of anything. Instead, the leader would single out someone, usually the new person – me – or another single woman and slander that person in front of the entire group, making false judgments and accusations against that person. Shredding the person’s soul was what this man’s “ministry” was all about. NOT God’s ministry, but Satan’s.
The Gospel of Jesus Christ says:
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.” Ephesians 2:8
“Not of works, lest any man should boast.” Ephesians 2:9
“…The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Romans 6:23
(7) Cults often urge their converts to leave their families. In my case, I left my family, my children, sold my car and home, believing I was going to follow God in the way He wanted me to. I was willing to give up everything for Him. I moved from New York to Kansas, and the cult leader and his wife rushed me so I barely had a chance to think about this move. They told me not to worry about my car, that I would get one when I got to Kansas. That was a lie. It has been over four years, and I still have no car. I now rent instead of own. My family live in other states. My heart was in the right place, and I knew God wanted me in Kansas. I didn’t realize, however, how deceived I was until I actually arrived in Kansas and had to experience the deceit this so-called “ministry” was practicing for myself. Everything seemed to boil down to money. If you didn’t give the leader of this “ministry” money, then he blasted you in front of everyone. Eventually, this evil man kicked me out of his “ministry” because I had no money to give at the time, and I because I learned the extent of his lies and ignorance of Scripture. I praise and give thanks to God that I knew the Truth of God’s Word enough to know when I was being deceived.
“And ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32 KJV)
(8) I believe an occult ministry may easily be revealed through its members as well. If you aren’t obeying the legalistic teachings of the one in charge, practically worshipping this deceitful, controlling person, you will notice how the members will slander you behind your back, quickly turn on you, and lie about you to anyone who will listen. Granted, there are so-called Christians who do the same thing. But when an entire group gangs up on you, telling you to keep quiet, as was done to me in the so-called “ministry” I was in for a short while, then you will definitely know that you are in an occult ministry. The evil prevalent among the leader’s followers will reveal themselves to you through their own behavior and words.
One time I was filled with the Spirit of God, singing and praising Him along with the others, only to have the entire group suddenly turn on me. I was told to be quiet and not to sing, unless I did it silently. WHAT? This was definitely NOT from God. One woman got right in my face and told me what I should be doing, while being backed by all the others. Clearly, the members of an occult ministry may pretend to be Christians when, in fact, they are merely Pharisees at heart, white-washed tombs.
So beware, if people are treating you this way while you are praising God and trying to be obedient, and truly being filled with His joy, know that an occult ministry is NOT the place for you. Get out of it and never look back. Even before I was so graciously “kicked out” of this so-called “ministry” I came 1,300 miles to be a part of, I had already intended to leave. The evil members of this occult ministry only made it easier for me to do so. Funny though, in the end, someone gave me a prophecy sometime later that said that the members of that little group did not kick me out. It was, in fact, God Himself who rescued me from them, pulling me out to protect me from what those people were doing against me. As I ponder these things, grateful that I serve a wonderful, loving God who cares for His own and protects them from evil such as this, I recall the following verses:
“They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
“And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor Me.” (John 16: 2,3 KJV)
Also, by calling true believers evil, as some of these people and their friends have done to me, then they are in for a big surprise. For Scripture reads:
“Woe unto them who call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20 KJV)
Know that God is not pleased at what this and other so-called “ministries” are doing to true believers, and they will not get away with their sins. Unless, of course, they see the error of their ways and repent of their evil. I praise the God of Heaven, the LORD GOD I AM, for being a loving and forgiving God who does not wish to see anyone go to Hell when (s)he dies.
Although I have given some examples of a ministry that appears to have believers of Jesus Christ within it, there are Satanic, occult ministries out there that are more easily recognizable.
Know that just because the name of Jesus is used in a supposed “Christian ministry”, such may not be the case. At the core of that ministry may be the roots of Satanism in some way, shape, or form. In these end-times, God will allowincreasing deception. So all true believers of Jesus Christ must always be aware and alert to the enemy’s devices. And I pray, in the name of the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ, of Yeshua, that all who love Jesus and seek Him as their Lord and Savior will always know His Truth and not be deceived or caught in the lies of the enemy. That is my hope, prayer, and blessing for all of you. In Jesus’ Name, in the Name of Yeshua, I ask all these things for you who seek the Truth.
