The Roman Catholic Church & Islam Together in "Visions of Mary"/Satan in Drag!

Quote from "God's Plumb Line" who posted this video on u-tube:
"Muslims and Christians Flock to See the whore of the RCC called Mary who is really satan in Cairo(ANSAmed) - CAIRO - Exorcisms and alleged apparitions of the Virgin Mary are occurring in Cairo, in two of the city's poorest neighbourhoods, and the two phenomena are drawing in throngs of the faithful, mostly Christian Copts but Muslims as well. The most recent event is the one which occurred last Friday in the El Waaraq neighbourhood, located in the Giza area. The Egyptian Gazette reports that many claim to have personally witnessed the Virgin Mary on the roof of St. Michaels church with her arms opening in their direction, while the smell of incense and a flock of doves surrounded the area. This event allegedly occurred at least twice, but a Church appointee was unable to capture it on video. People are now awaiting for the return of Copt pope Shenouda III to return to Cairo from the USA on the day after tomorrow. He is expected to set up a committee that will look into the alleged apparitions, and to decide on the now sizeable amount of money offered by the faithful. http://watcherslamp.blogspot.com/2009/12/muslims-and-christian-flock-to-see-mary.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+WatchersLamp+%28Watcher%27s+Lamp%29 " End Quote

I see this as just another ploy of The Roman Catholic church, in their push to gather all religions under the same banner....Islam being their final frontier! I have seen this coming for years, some dear Christians in Colorado, exposed the link between Islam and Roman Catholicism for me back in the 1980's. This example in the video is merely Satan in drag, and or it is a deception perpetrated on the simple to deceive the masses.

The Beast system of Islam will eventually turn on the Great Whore/ the Roman Catholic Church System, and destroy her...

How Far will The Great Whore be willing to go in order to Draw More Souls to Hell?

Revelation 17:1-6- Is Speaking of Spiritual Fornication &Spiritual Wickedness

1. And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will show unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:

2. With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.

3. So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

4. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:

5. And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.

6. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Yes I know what I am about to share with you is not how many understand these scriptures, but this is how the Lord though His Spirit has quickened them to me.

There are many varied and new interpretations in regards as to who this great whore is, I have heard them all. I am asking you to read the Word of God and allow the Holy Spirit to show you what the Lord in revealing in Revelation 17.

There is no spiritual entity that claims to belong to Jesus Christ, who commits such idolatry and spiritual whoredoms before Him. There is no other spiritual entity that claims to speak for Christ that has persecuted and murdered the children of God, beginning back in the time of Christ, to this day, than this spiritual entity. The church of Rome was the same back in the days of the disciples, and has only grown greater in her abominations since. This spiritual entity is guilty of the blood of the saints of God.

She decks herself in purple and scarlet and precious stones, the robes of royalty, she masquerades as the bride of Christ ...but she is an abomination to God!

She says, I sit as a queen!

She has spread herself all over the world and is entrenched in America and all other nations. The Church of Rome in America and all other nations shall be brought under her same judgments. She claims to be growing in America, they claim "100,000 have come back home to Rome in 2008": http://www.prweb.com/releases/CatholicsComeHome/Newsweek/prweb2311634.htm

She has influenced leaders, and kings all over the earth, and spread herself as a green bay tree in all the earth. Many of her members, as do masons, receive advantages in the education and business arenas. There is a hidden brotherhood that helps to advance its own, as she seeks to extend her earthly kingdom.

Revelation 17: 15- The Great Whore sets herself in nations, and over people.

And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues

God is far more angered by those who commit Spiritual adultery, (those who claim to be His, but who commit idolatry, and prostitute themselves for their own advancement, those who compromise His Truth, and lead millions of people astray from His Truth), than he is by the heathen.

The Roman Catholic church will change her doctrine if she deems it profitable and contingent to her survival and or expansion. Those however whom she seeks to pacify and accommodate in order to work her will in the earth, will eventually turn on her and rend her.

The kings of the earth know the influence that she has over the peoples of the earth, and they use her to their own advantage. She herself is a political power in the earth, she has yoked herself to the beast system for her own advancement.

The Roman Catholic Church System is the Great Spiritual Whore. All those who yoke themselves together with her by their whoredoms will be judged with her. Many have yoked themselves with Rome and are yoking together with her, for what appear to be different "good causes", this is abomination to God. Rome has spread her net far in this world to gather men to herself and those who are spiritually blind cannot see it.

A whore is one who sells her self for her own financial gain or advantage.

Yes America is a Babylon, Europe is a Babylon, Many nations are a Babylon, and will be judged, as shall all nations that have sinned against God.

Rome is a religious entity that claims to be Christ's body...she is not!

The Pope claims to be the head of the Church...he is not! ........

Jesus Christ is the Head of his own body the Church!

We His bride, saints of God, are espoused to Him, and we are to be faithful unto Him, and His Word.

Worshiping The Queen of Heaven-Leading by example!

“Do you really honestly believe that Catholics worship Mary????”

Catholic’s have proudly proclaimed to me that they don’t worship Mary that they merely venerate her.

Definition of the word “Venerate”: To regard with respect and reverence, respect mingled with awe; “worship”!

I have personally witnessed Catholic’s worship Mary for years. Since I was a small child I have seen the following: People kneeling at the foot of her statues and kissing her feet, praying to her. I have witnessed people kissing portraits of her, people having parades for her, holding her up and adoring her. Shrines are built in her honor all over the earth. (This was something that Jesus did not permit Peter to do for after the experience of the disciples on the mount of transfiguration, when he wanted to build tabernacles for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah). I have witnessed graven images of Mary in all shapes and sizes. If that’s not worship what is?

The word of God clearly states that we are not to make any graven images of anything on land, sea or air and fall down before them. We are to worship God alone.

Exodus 20:4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

The Catholic Catechism (966) claims the following:
Mary was free from sin.
She was taken up bodily to heaven.
That God made her QUEEN over all things.
That she maintained her virginity after the birth of Christ.
That she is the “mother of God”.
That it is through praying to her that souls will be delivered from death

The man made doctrines above came into play within the realms of Catholicism after the council of Ephesus, in the year 431.
1. The beginning of the exaltation of Mary, and the first use of the term “Mother of God”-council of Ephesus 431
2. Prayers began to be offered to Mary and other dead saints and angels in the year 600.
3. The rosary or prayer beads (copied from Hindus and Mohammadans) were introduced by Peter the Hermit in the year 1090.
4. The Immaculate Conception was introduced as doctrine in the year 1854 by Pope Pius IX.
5. Pius XI reaffirmed the doctrine that Mary is “The mother of God” in 1931
6. Mary was proclaimed the “Mother of the Church” by Pope Paul VI in 1965

There was only one who was without sin, that was Jesus Christ, all others including Mary, were born with the sin nature of Adam. We have one high priest-Jesus-we have one who intercedes to the father on our behalf-Jesus.

Hebrews 4:14-16 - Speaking of Jesus
14. Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
15For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
16Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

Who is on the throne of Grace? Jesus, not Mary.

2 Corinthians 5:21-Speaking of Jesus
For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

Who was Mary?
The "Mary" of the Catholic church is NOT the Mary found in the bible.
The Mary of the bible was a humble servant of God, chosen by Him to be the earthen vessel to carry the only begotten Son of God.
Since God has no beginning and no end, He has no joint creator. Since He alone died on that cross, He alone is responsible for redeeming our souls. There is no co-redeemer. Mary is certainly not responsible for our salvation, only Jesus Christ.

Jesus, was God manifested in the flesh.
Mary was not the co-creator of God, she was the vessel into which Jesus was implanted by the Holy Ghost. Her body was chosen to willingly nurture the Savior of mankind.

Who did Jesus say was His mother?
Matthew 12:46-50 -Speaking of Jesus
46.While he yet talked to the people, behold, his mother and his brethren stood without, desiring to speak with him.
47Then one said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to speak with thee.
48But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren?
49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren!
50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

Who is Mary to the born again child of God?
She is our sister in Christ, and we love her as we love any of our brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus.
She, like us, was born with the sin nature of Adam.
There was only one that was without sin, and that was Jesus Christ.
Mary had to come to salvation, as do all men, through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, she believed on Jesus Christ unto salvation
Again, there was only one that was without sin, and that was Jesus Christ.

“Have you done a background check and actually read all the material the Catholic Church has written about JESUS'S MOTHER. In great detail it is written that in no way is she worshiped. Honored as who she is, is more the defining line.”

Yes I most certainly have read material that the Catholic Church has written on the subject of “Mary” reams and reams of it. Church councils, church doctrine, also a book written by the late pope John Paul which also touches on the subject.
See what is his doctrine verses what the Word of God says.
Here is a Quote from Pope John Paul’s book, “The Splendor of Truth” page 141 #118:
“At the end of these considerations, let us entrust ourselves, the sufferings and the joys of our life, the moral life of believers and people of good will, and the research of moralists, to Mary, Mother of God and Mother of Mercy.”

Page 143 #120:
“Mary is also Mother of Mercy because it is to her that Jesus entrusts his Church and all humanity.”

I might add that on this same page he claims that:

“Thus Mary becomes Mother of each and every one of us, the Mother who obtains for us divine mercy.”

The Mary of the bible was the "mother of Jesus." She is never referred to as the Mother of God. God has no mother.

The only way anyone obtains Mercy is through Christ Jesus alone!
Jesus has not entrusted His Church to anyone!
Mercy and Grace come only through Christ Jesus our Lord,not through Mary.

Jude 1:21
Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Ephesians 5:23-27

23. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.

25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

26That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,

27That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

There is no mention in the Word of God, of Mary's ability to disperse grace, or Mary being entrusted with the church.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20
19.What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.

Jesus is in His body the church, He has not left us comfortless, He indwells His body by His Holy Spirit. He paid for our souls with His blood, we are His, He is in us and we are in Him...Not Mary, He is head of His body the church.

You can say "Well Lord I just wanted to show everyone that you’re Mom is the Goddess that the Catholics worship. I mean I know it's not mentioned anywhere in their doctrines and dogma's, but you know its true Lord."

The Word of God clearly states that those who worship the queen of heaven are worshiping a false god/goddess. The Queen of Heaven is not an invention of the Catholic’s she is a demon goddess that has been around deceiving people for centuries. This is not something God is unaware of. To Him worshiping the Queen of Heaven is an abomination.

Jeremiah 7:18
18The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger.

The description of the woman with the crown of twelve stars spoken of in the book of Revelation 12:1 is a description of His body “the church” not Mary.

......."Were you referring to this woman, my son? This woman happens to be my mother. She who answered “Yes” to my father, and became the bearer of the Word incarnate. Me. Do you not think that I would raise her from her lowliness, her humility and make her who she is?"Honestly my friend. Remember who Mary is. She is the Mother of the King of Kings. What does that make her? A Queen, by right. Read what it says in
Luke 1:46-55

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; My spirit rejoices in God my savior.For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed. The Mighty One has done great things for me, and holy is his name.
His mercy is from age to age to those who fear him. He has shown might with his arm, dispersed the arrogant of mind and heart.He has thrown down the rulers from their thrones but lifted up the lowly.The hungry he has filled with good things; the rich he has sent away empty. He has helped Israel his servant, remembering his mercy, According to his promise to our fathers, to Abraham and to his descendants forever. Bible - Mary’s song of praise.

Let me emphasize this: For he has looked upon his handmaid's lowliness; behold, from now on will all ages call me blessed.Not Goddess, not Whore of Babylon, Blessed.

What does that mean in your book? Kind of Holy Woman don't you think?

Also after doing research on all the places she supposedly appeared (That the Catholic Church says she supposedly appeared) You will notice in all of them she points to her son, Christ. Never does she say worship me. She is an advocate who listens to our prayers and takes them before the throne of her son. As on earth she was the bearer of the Word incarnate, even in heaven she proclaims the glory of her son...........

You will not find one piece of scripture in all of the bible, to back up your claim that Mary is an advocate, who listens to our prayers and takes them to Jesus. It is a man made doctrine. Man’s doctrine will pass away and burn up, but the truth of the Word of God will stand forever.

Matthew 24:35
Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.

......So be careful what you say about Jesus’ mother. He takes offense to it. And do some research. There are a lot of the writings that the Catholic Church's hierarchy has written for hundreds of years. And it's not like they wrote them overnight. They took time and precision.

You spoke correctly that it is the Catholic Church hierarchy that has come up with the doctrine of the Roman Catholic church-mere godless men with no fear of the Most High God setting themselves up to rule over men.

They certainly took their time and were very precise in the lies that they mingled with the truth to deceive millions, and they shall receive the greater judgment for it.

May our Lord bless you my friend and may his mother protect you and intercede for you at your last judgment...

Thank you, He has blessed me by allowing me to share with you. I have one protector-Jesus Christ, He not only is my savior He is my deliverer, my healer, my friend, my provider, my intercessor, my all in all, I seek no other, I pray to no other.

Mary is not the co-redeemer of mankind, as some in the Roman Catholic Church are now teaching and trying to pass off as doctrine-that is blasphemy. Jesus died alone on that cross; He alone shed his blood for our sins. Mary was a mere observer.
Neither is she the co-mediator for mankind.
There is only one mediator between man and God-Jesus Christ.

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; There is but one intercessor between God and man.

Hebrews 7:24-Speaking of Jesus
24But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood.
25Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
26For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
27Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did once, when he offered up himself.

So there is another point Jesus does not die over and over as is portrayed in the mass, but he died once for all, and He is alive for evermore and sits on the right hand of the Father in Heaven.

Jesus didn't tell us to follow in the footsteps of a pope or a priest, but to follow Him and obey His Word. We are not to follow the traditions of men or doctrines of men.

Colossians 2:6-9
6. As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him:
7. Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.
8. Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

The God head is Father, Son and Holy Spirit, not Jesus Mary and Joseph, or Father, Mother, Son.

Titus 1:14-16
14.Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15.Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.
16.They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

May we all seek to come into the knowledge of the Truth of Jesus Christ and grow in His Grace.

What Do Mother Teresa and The Masonic Lodge Have In Common?

What Do Mother Teresa and The Masonic Lodge Have In Common?

Bet ya never thought on that one before…lol! This may end up being a two parter by the way, depending on the response.

Ahh…it's a struggle with the old flesh some times when the Lord says, “Speak it” since I have never won any popularity contests, I must listen to what the Spirit is saying and share it.

My husband’s response to the blog title question was, “They’re both Dead!” I must admit he’s not far off on his assumption.

It doesn’t matter what religion you are or what you believe, you can become a mason. I find the serpent encircling the masonic symbol above to be very revealing.

It doesn’t matter what religion you are so long as you believe in a god you can become a Roman Catholic. If you have any pagan customs to bring with you that's ok to.

Even if you don’t become a Roman Catholic, according to mother Teresa, and the Roman Catholic Church, you can still find a path to heaven with your god. (Actually Billy Graham feels the same way, so do many other apostate believers.)

Both the Catholic Church, and the Masonic lodge, have their brotherhood that advances them in the things of the world.
The Roman Catholic church has its own version of the masons, they are called the knights of Columbus.

I once had it related to me, how a so called Christian elder of a church, who was a member of the church board and mason, (actually the pastor claimed that this man had not attended Masonic meetings in years, so therefore they were comfortable with this mans standing with God.) had been pulled over in another state for speeding, and as the cop began to write the ticket this man proudly flashed his Masonic ring and the ticket was not written. He was recounting this story in the hearing of new Christians with great pride. He like other masons are proud of their ability to break the laws of the world and be excused from any penalty. He though claiming not to attend meetings of the masonic lodge any longer still obviously clings to the masonic privileges embedded in his heart.

Mother Teresa was of the attitude to those dying in her care; her words, “In coming face to face with God in our lives, then we become a better Hindu, a better Muslim, a better Catholic, a better whatever we are…What God is in your mind you must accept” END QUOTE…quoted from “Mother Teresa, Her People and Her Work”

Excuse me WHAT?
This lady may have done many thousands of good works, but they have not earned her a place in heaven. There is but one way for all men women and children that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, Yeshua.

When considering workers for her organization, Mother Teresa told them, “there are souls longing for our Lord, but for want of someone to pay the debt for them, they cannot move towards him. You will be a true Missionary of Charity and you will pay their debt." END QUOTE…quoted from Mother Teresa, “My Life With the Poor”

Excuse me WHAT?
There is only one who paid our debt or who can pay any ones debt and that is Jesus Christ, Yeshua.

The Masonic lodge attitude is who ever your god is that doesn’t matter we all serve the same God.
Excuse me WHAT?

I beg to differ….we do not all serve the same God.
Masonry confesses a god but not Jesus Christ.

If masonry does not confess Jesus Christ, which it doesn’t because it claims there is nothing in masonry to offend a Jew, and a Jew can be a mason. That the Jews find Jesus Christ/Yeshua an offense, is a fact. Therefore Jesus Christ is not the center of Masonry. Therefore they confess a false god, and as such, any true Christian should renounce and repent of any and all associations with the Masonic brotherhood.

John 14:6
Jesus saith unto him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”

John 10:1
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.”

Meditation As The Bible Teaches It

This blog has been inspired by a comment I received to a blog I did in September Titled

“Hinduism, Roman Catholicism, and The International House of Prayer.”

http://justtomakeyouthink.blogspot.com/2008/09/hindusim-roman-catholicsm-international.html

The following comments from an anonymous individual on that particular blog, have been edited.
Quote from anonymous:
“Contemplative prayer has been around before the institution of Hinduism. Mediation is a Christian discipline. Have you read “blank’s” book on Christian disciplines? End Quote

Contemplation: The act of considering with attention: Study, the act of regarding steadily, as in:

2nd Timothy 2: 15
15Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

We are to pray in the Spirit, (meaning the Holy Spirit) and pray with the understanding also (of His Word and His will.) One cannot pray in the Spirit however if one does not have of His Spirit. If one has not of His Spirit they are none of His.

Quote from anonymous :
These practices are are rich part of Christian practice which were forfeited then counterfeited by the Adversary.
A major Protestant who is discovering this is “Blank”. Look for his book. He is a PCA pastor. End Quote

I would strongly suggest that a child of God go to the Word of God when seeking to understand the Biblical meaning of meditation, not to some book a man has written on the subject.
To meditate in the Biblical sense of the word = means to ponder the truths of Gods Word.
Ponder = means to weigh in your mind, think about quietly, soberly and deeply. It means to reflect deeply and take to heart what the Word of the Lord is saying to you.
Meditate in the scriptural sense = means to think on the Word of God in your mind and study and memorize and hide it in your heart.

Psalm 119:11
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Quote from anonymous :
I was a sceptic of Christian spirituality (contemplatives)as I hold three degrees. By God's grace I see the power of apostolic prayer and intercession.
I was dry empty and made no impact with my knowledge, not I feel alive and and impact my community.
"May God make the light of His countenance shine on you." Sound mystical? (its found in Numbers 6).” End Quote

Numbers 6:22-27 is not intended to sound “mystical”.
It was a blessing that was to be bestowed upon the children of Israel by the priests of God. It was bestowing the favor of God upon them, as long as they walked in His commandments.
Psalms 31:16 also speaks of Gods favor being requested by His servant David. As is Psalms 67:1 in asking for God’s face to shine upon them they were seeking God’s favor upon them.

Galatians 1:6-9
I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:
7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.
8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Biblical meditation means that we are to focus our thoughts and bring our minds into subjection and reflect on what the scripture is saying. Also how we are to apply it to our lives that we might grow thereby. It’s about learning of God and about drawing closer to God, by bringing our minds into subjection to Him and His Word. This is all so that we may learn how to manifest the character and nature of Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior.

Meditation for the Christian is not about relaxation, it’s not about going to your happy place, as you chant some magic word in order to get your self worked into a mystical stupor or trance, before you can meditate upon the Word of Truth.

Neither is it about seeking a prayer partner from amongst the dead. It is forbidden of God, for the child of God to seek to the dead for anything. It is not about seeking God to manifest himself in bodily form before you.

Neither is it of any consequence what bodily position you take in prayer, it is not about us being comfortable, rather about us being humble and truthful before God.

Neither is it as some would have you to believe, to go into a place of your own minds creation or imagination. The Word of God tells us to cast down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against God.

Meditation of God’s Word is not intended to be some cultic out of body experience.

Psalm 119:97-104
O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
100 I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
101 I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.
103 How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Precepts: A commandment issued by God to His children.

Jesus said if we love Him we will keep His commandments.

Psalm 19:14
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

God looks upon the heart, God knows the very thoughts and intents of our hearts.

He also knows that men's hearts are desperately wicked. We cannot trust our hearts we can only trust the written Word of God. We cannot trust every Spirit that comes along either, but we are to test the Spirits, to see they are of God.

1John 4:1-3

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

2Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

3And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

I would highly recommend against any child of God participating in any type of worldly meditation techniques lest they invite an ungodly spirit that they cannot rid themselves of.

Hindusim, Roman Catholicsm, International House Of Prayer

The Pope Receives the three fold mark representing the 3 Hindu gods

One of the major Hindu gods

Right: The Assisi Peace conference in the 1980's I believe. Archbishop of Canterbury, Archbishop of Thyteira and Great Brittan, Pope John Paul and the Dalai Lama-ex-god king of Tibet.

What a mix!

Now we have Hinduism, Roman Catholicism and the charismatic International house of prayer more commonly known in these parts as IHOP..Just what do you think these three religious entities have in common? Well I'm gonna show you!

I have posted these old photos to demonstrate that back in the early 1990's I was involved with the pro-life movement here in Wichita. One day while on site at a local Abortion mill a young catholic friend of mine approached me and handed me some papers that she had just received that morning while attending a Catholic woman's auxiliary meeting she had attended at their Spiritual Life center. They were instruction sheets that she had been given by nuns who taught the lesson on prayer methods. These techniques had troubled my young friend, and rightly so, she said "This sounds like Hinduism". I had in my possession the news paper article on the Assisi peace conference with the photo, so the fact that the Roman Catholic church would embrace Hinduism did not surprise me, the fact that they were already, back in the 90's, teaching these techniques to their flock not a complete shock to me.

Prior to receiving these prayer instruction sheets from my friend, I had been given a Catholic Digest, by another friend. In this catholic digest (which i still have for research purposes) dated July 1993, is this article, "Reincarnation, Sacred Cows, and Karma". For the sake of keeping this blog short I am only going to quote one thing: quote "The 2nd Vatican council took a positive view of the potential spiritual resources of Hinduism"end quote

Now I am going to quote in part from the 2 prayer instruction sheets that came from that session with the nuns: quote from sheet #1

"Remember that the Holy Spirit wishes to use all of your faculties (parts of self) in prayer: Memory, Imagination, Will, Emotions, Thoughts, Distractions.

Pick a posture that makes you comfortable. Any will do, but you don't want to be distracted in prayer.

In some forms of prayer posture is very important, because it helps express who we are to God.

Take time at prayer

Pick a spot in the world of your imagination. Take a gospel scene, or create a special place of your own.

Fill out the spot with your imagination.

Picture Jesus, Mary or one of the saints.

Invite them to be with you.

Speak with your prayer partner, give your partner time to answer.

Accept that answer as the gift of the Holy Spirit if it bears fruit in your life.

Embrace or kiss or touch your friend. Use your imagination, your memory, all of your faculties.

Tell your partner goodbye let them know when you plan to come again." end of partial quote.

Its shocking I know saints of God but true, there is more, quote from Paper #2:

1. Find a sufficiently isolated place to pray so you will be alone.

2. Find a comfortable position

3. Sit for a min or so doing nothing but quieting yourself, just being still in Gods presence.

4. After a min or so enter more deeply into the very center of your being by taking a deep breath and as you inhale say to yourself "I am" and as you exhale say, "with God" Inhale "I am" exhale "in God" inhale "I am" exhale "For God". Then change to "God Is" exhale "with me" etc.

Do this until you experience oneness with God.

5. As you find yourself becoming totally absorbed in God and God in you, choose a single word like "God" or "Love" or "Praise" end of partial quote-

"Oh saints of God this is becoming a labor, this trash is from Satan"

continue quote:

6. When you become aware of distractions very gently return to your prayer word, let go of the balloons never strain your mind or imagination

7. Slowly pray the our father as an ending to your prayer of quiet..end quote

Now at the time I read all that rot, as i said I was shocked at the blatant use of Hindu prayer techniques upon the ignorant and susceptible people of the Roman Catholic church. The word of God tells us to cast down imaginations, but I am not going to go into these things here, now on to the IHOP connection. I came across this link today:http://kimolsen.wordpress.com/2008/08/04/ihop-openly-promotes-contemplative-prayervisualization/ I will now quote some of the phrases contained in this prayer instruction layout from

IHOP:

Method #1
Choose a short phrase in Scripture.
Begin slowly praying the Scripture in silence.
Focus your prayer toward the Spirit who lives inside you (John 7:38).
Remain on the phrase as long as you feel the Lord’s presence on it. Then move with Him, slowly praying through the passage phrase by phrase.

Method #2
Choose a short story in Scripture.
Read through the story several times silently.
Close your eyes and acknowledge the Spirit who lives in you.
Use your imagination to imagine yourself as one of the story characters or as an onlooker.
Play out the story in your mind applying all five of your senses.

Method #3
We call this “Beholding the Spirit Within.”
The goal is to search for and feel God’s presence inside you, not necessarily to gain more understanding in God’s Word as with the first two methods.
Begin by gently praying a short passage of Scripture in silence while focusing on the indwelling Spirit. The Scripture is used to quiet the clamoring of your soul and draw you to God. It is the connection point, the springboard into the spiritual realm.
Once you feel God’s presence, focus on it in a concentrated way.
You will be able to notice His presence now; He has always been there, but now your attention is on Him within you. The outward senses are quiet and your surface thoughts are gone. You are beginning to be consumed by the Spirit.
In this time, feel the freedom to stay quiet. Silently ask the Spirit to show you a vision, or slowly and silently say to Him, “I love You. I love You. I love You.”

Overcoming Distractions

Your mind will have to be trained in practical ways to not wander and think on other things. To overcome a wandering mind, simply begin thinking on the Scripture you have been meditating on, and focus your prayer to the Spirit within you. The Lord sees your heart as it searches for Him, and He is smiling upon you. You may become sleepy during prayer. To overcome, sit up straight instead of slouching and do not lie down. You can also begin speaking the Scripture you are meditating on under your breath until you feel the drowsiness subside, then return to the silent prayer.

Saints of God if it looks like a duck and it quacks like a duck...Saints "Its a Duck"!!!

Oh and Saints of God please don't try these techniques at home, or you may end up with more than you bargained for. You may end up possessed of demons.

God Shall Tear Down Your Idols Part 5- The Many Headed Goddess

"Our Ladies of Sorrows" #1,2&3"

"Our Lady of La Leche"#4

"Our Lady of Good Remedy" #5

A priest sits before a shrine to "Our Lady of Madu" #6

"Our Lady of the Angels" #7

"Our Lady of Tears" #8

"Our Lady of Perpetual Help"#9

Jesus not Mary is our ever present help in time of trouble.

"Our Lady of the most blessed Sacrament" #10

"Our Lady of Lourdes" #11

"Our Lady of Fatima" #12

"Our Lady of Medjugorje" #13

"Our Lady of Guadalupe" #14

"Two for the price of one!" #15

I am sure there are more "Our Ladies" out there but I got tired searching today. This is horrifying saints, simply horrifying that people could be so very deceived. This is idolatry taken to the max. There are stories that go along with these different apparitions of Mary that people have had, and it is so distressing the extent of the deception. These different Marys have appeared and given prophesies to people and they build shrines to these Marys all over the earth.

The Word says in:

Galatians 1:6-9

I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Satan is the one that desires to steal from Jesus the Glory due His name that is why he has invented this "Our Lady" goddess to usurp the authority of almighty God. It is not strange then how every image, idol, of the so called "Mary" is different.

Unholy Alliances Part 2

Matthew 7:21-23

"Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity."

I keep going back to the Word the Lord gave me back in February, "He shall come as a man of peace, with seven abominations in his heart."

Man thinks God who made the eyes, cannot see, man thinks God who made the heart and gave the soul, does not know the thoughts and intents there of. Oh America how you hang on the edge of the great divide...how you hang between Heaven and Hell... Oh church world wide, oh children of God, do not follow after such men and women as this.

Above you can see just some of the strange bed fellows...Oh what a problem we have when we seek to be accepted of the world, and when all men speak well of us what a precarious position we place our selves in...for they also spoke well of the false prophets who are now stoking the coals of Hell..... Amen

Luke 6:26

"Woe unto you, when all men shall speak well of you! for so did their fathers to the false prophets."

Unholy Alliances Part 1

Unholy Alliances /Catholics and Muslims:

Francis Johnson a Fatima Enthusiast writes in his 1979 book Fatima:The Great Sign:

"The Moslems, who have a certain devotion to Our Lady and recognise her Virgin birth and Immaculate Conception, were intrigued by the fact that Mary had appeared at Fatima, which was the name of Mohammed's favourite daughter and regarded by the prophet as the highest woman in Heaven after Our Lady. In Zanzibar, the Moslem sultan placed a wreath of flowers at the [Fatima] statue's feet, while the Moslem chief of the Ismaeli tribe in Mozambique placed a golden necklace about the statue's neck saying: 'Thank you, Our Lady of Fatima for the work of love you are accomplishing in Africa' " (p. 126).Could “Our Lady of Fatima” play a role in the eventual elimination of militant Islam?

Hummm….very interesting isn’t it…the plot thickens. This is why you see the photo of pope john paul kissing the Koran, this is why you see this new pope rushing to meet with muslim leaders…they are building bridges to unity..how lovely

Catholics, Hindus and Buddhists:

In Vatican Council 2 Documents, No. 56 Nostra Aetate sect 2 page 739 it reads:
In Hinduism men explore the divine mystery and express it both in the limitless riches of myth and the accurately defined insights of philosophy. They seek release from the trials of the present life by ascetical practices, profound meditation and recourse to God in confidence and love….Buddhism in its various forms testifies to the essential inadequacy of this changing world. It proposes a way of life by which man can with confidence and trust, attain a state of perfect liberation and reach supreme illumination either through their own efforts or by the aid of divine help….The Catholic Church rejects nothing of what is true and holy in these religions……(there is more folks, but its making me sick, so I am going to skip to the end for ya)…The Church, therefore, urges her sons to enter with prudence and charity into discussion and collaboration with members of other religions.

That’s why the pope has met with the Dalai Lama. That’s why as reported in the Catholic Digest July 1993: Some Catholics have subsequently sought to draw on the vast traditions of Hinduism to enrich their own spiritual lives. Father Bede Griffiths and companions, for example, live on one of the 50 or so Catholic Ashrams, or communities, currently operating in India…….They eat a vegetarian diet and employ compatible Hindu symbolism in Christian worship…….
(Abomination folks, pure and simple blasphemy and abomination)

That’s why I received this from a young catholic lady after attending a catholic women’s auxiliary meeting here at the local Catholic spiritual life center back in the early 1990’s.
I am only going to quote I part, but the ladies were taught this by the nuns, I may try and scan the whole thing into my website tomorrow.

Guidelines for Imaginative prayer:
Pick a posture
Take time- be conscious of how your body feels
Pick a Spot in the world of your imagination
Fill out the spot with your imagination
Picture- Jesus, Mary or one of the saints
Speak with your prayer partner
Embrace kiss or touch your friend
Take time to wind down from prayer-tell your partner goodbye let them know when you plan to come again.

Then there is this which i quote in part
Centering Prayer;
Find a place-an isolated place
Find a comfortable position
Sit for a minute
After a min or so you can enter more deeply into the very center of your being by taking a deep breath and as you inhale say to yourself “I am” and as you exhale say “with God” Inhale, “I am”….(it goes on folks, but I cant)

They go on to teach them to use a one syllable world for a mantra…it is what it is
Rome is still embracing Pagan practices as she always has, as she always will, until she is destroyed once and for all.

And old Chuck Colson, and now I hear Rick Warren want us to unify….unity, unity, unity, and the Word says “Be not unequally yoked together with unbelievers.” But what the hey why pay attention to that, it’s much more warm and fuzzy and safer if we all just put our beliefs aside and just move into Rome….of course that’s a joke folks..

If you look very carefully on the Rick Warren World Peace plan Photo and click on it you will be able to read the red signs that are being held by the folks to the left of the picture which read, "Whatever it Takes" ...does that include selling Israel up the river, uniting with any ungodly thing that comes along, who knows folks!

To be continued….
