L’ancienne prison de Bendigo (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Michael, it seems that this subject is one of the major themes of my life. I married 3 ex-offenders. 2 of them are deceased. When I met my first husband, I knew nothing of prison. Had no idea my career or my future ministry would take such a turn. He had just been released to prison and went straight to the Mosque where he met me. You got me started Michael. I been quiet about this on facebook or anywhere else. It is something I just don’t talk about. I wonder if I am still angry or embittered. I hope not. I got on the prison train in 1968 with my first husband, got off of it in 2005 when I divorced my third husband, a white looking Puerto Rican. I say white looking cause his Mama looked like ME! lol That is almost 40 years, more than half my life. I am evaluating now, “what does it all mean?”

I worked in the prison system for 17 years. I had a badge wherein every prison door in my state had to open to me, day or night. I walked the tiers and at times, I called brothers out of their cells to talk to me one on one or in groups. So I got to see and know “the bruthas” who were into more than just sports, booty, beer and cars. I know the heart of the offender better than most because I worked from different angles. My territory was about 15 prisons and 15 jails. Then for 8 of those same years, I went to one prison, where I preached 2 Sundays a month and taught a midweek bible study at night. the prison I preached in was not one that I worked in.

Then I went into prison and married my second husband. I knew him from my neighborhood BEFORE I worked in corrections so the state could not stop me from marrying him. Yet, this decision ruined my career and all of my promotions were blocked. I had been on the fast track to become a Commissioner or a Deputy when I made this horrendous, life changing decision.So I also know the prison system from the family side. I was in line at 5am every Friday and Saturday—driving 200 miles one way on dangerous roads to be “a good prison wife.” From Monday to Thursday I was monitoring and investigating prisons.

For me, the most offensive thing of all—was the coldness of those who walk in religiosity while they are in prison. All the insight, all the apparent love of the Lord, all the dedication and commitment while incarcerated—-goes right out the window once they are free. I know this side also. I founded a church that was built off of professing Christian men who were supposedly saved INSIDE. Once released, they committed no more crimes and 95 percent never went back to prison. BY FAR, THEY ARE THE WORST DISAPPOINTMENT I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MINISTRY!!! Worst than the traditional churchgoers of the IC. I am healed but the self centeredness and the fakery of these men hurt me deep.

The anti-social personality looks at others as pawns in their rigged game. They are the sun of your universe. They care nothing for you and your needs. Once a criminal with an ASP learns the ways of the church and the community, your ass is their grass!!! When they are locked up for 5 or more years, once released, its catch up time. They will step on your shoulders to rise. As they move higher up the ladder of success, they don’t look back down on you unless they fall again.

Last night I watched the 1977 movie called Audrey Rose, a movie that strongly supports reincarnation. I missed this one as I was born again that very year. So watching this movie in 2013 was quite revealing. For it is obvious that Satan is in control of Hollywood to send his own subliminal messages.

The setting for the movie is New York City in the 70′s. Janice and Bill Templeton are Park Avenue types, living in a splendid apartment bigger than most houses, with thousands of dollars of art work on the ceilings. They have an 11-year-old daughter named Ivy who is a happy, gregarious child until she starts to have these trance like fits, where it looks like she is trying to escape from a fire.

In the meantime, Elliot Hoover makes contact with the Templeton’s about Ivy, telling them of how his four-year old daughter died in a car crash, where she was seen banging on the car windows screaming, surrounded by flames, shortly before the car her mother was driving, exploded, killing them both. Interestingly enough, this incident occurred just a few hours on the same day that Ivy was born. After the death of Audrey, Elliot reports that famous psychics revealed to him that Ivy is the reincarnation of his daughter Audrey. As confirmation, the psychics accurately described the lush penthouse apartment in great detail, including the fine art on the ceilings.

As the story unfolds, the Templeton’s take Elliot to court, accusing him of kidnapping Ivy. The defense lawyer took the position of defending reincarnation to prove that Elliot was correct about Ivy being the reincarnation of his daughter, Audrey Rose. At the trial, a hypnotist was brought in to perform a past-life regression on Ivy. It worked, but it got out of hand. Ivy became Audrey and the trauma of re-experiencing the fire was too great and Ivy died because the hypnotist did not call the girl by the name of Audrey. He kept saying “Ivy.”

I did some googling today and discovered some interesting information about the author of the book. In “the Case For Reincarnation,” by Joe Fisher, the screenplay “Audrey Rose” was inspired by an actual incident in the author’s life. The author heard ragtime piano being played by his six-year-old son who had never had a music lesson. The boy told his father that his fingers were touching the keys by on their own. this experience was the catalyst that directed the author’s thoughts toward the possibility of reincarnation.

I am sure that many were awed by this movie and some even became believers in reincarnation as a result of watching it. Yet there is a simple explanation. If the case of Audrey Rose had been true and not fiction, here is how I would explain it.

First of all, even bona-fide psychic mediums or channels receive information from demons. So Elliot was deceived by them to believe on reincarnation. The demons know how his daughter died. They saw it and probably arranged and even caused the car accident that killed his family in the first place. They worked on his emotions, causing him to change his belief system and to appear and act “strange.” They set him up to find Ivy by using the psychics.

Somehow, Ivy’s chakras were opened. When the kundalini energy is released and the person enters an altered state through dreaming, very often the person feels like he or she is burning from within. When the hypnotist took Ivy into a much deeper altered state, as the fire sensation intensified, so did the terror and so Ivy died of intense fear. Her heart stopped.

In this end time season, the enemy needs every human being’s chakras to be opened so that the Antichrist can perpetuate the biggest spiritual fraud—–EVER!!!!

•  My tears subsided and I quickly fell asleep under this heavy warm blanket presence of peace. I awoke not 3 hours later, as I had an early shift on sat. morning. When i hoped in my truck i noticed my radio was not on the cd I was listening to on the way home. But instead the first lyrics i heard playing where from the song kiss of heaven .”I’m walking a new walk, I won’t be the same again” . As I heard those words I knew they where true and I cried my eyes out almost all day in this realization that God is so very real! And that he had touched me! I cried when the sun came up, i had never seen it with the new eyes i felt i had been given. Like I was seeing with my heart. So something happened for sure …….
•  Yeah so as to repentance, which at the time I had no vocabulary for it, but immediately lost my desire to smoke pot. I felt convicted for the first time about my sexual relations, and even my foul language.
• I didn’t yet have any revelation of the cross or my sinfulness. i just felt loved and whole. and I started to have an inner dialogue with who I thought was God……..
•  I did have a lot of joy and energy. i wept because it dawned on me that god had designed at the things about our earth and universe. It just overwhelmed me. i was in awe of the design and beauty for the first time.

•  I used the word conviction. but it was more like i no longer had a desire for pot or swearing, but with the sex i just somehow knew it was wrong in the way i had been having it without commitment. and this was all just kind of in my mind when i woke up. The next few weeks after that experience were full of ah ha moments like that. my mind was just undergoing this big perspective shift
•  it wasn’t until, maybe 2 weeks later that i reconnected with the guy that gave me the bible, and turns out had been praying for my salvation for almost 4 years, that i was asked the question ” do you believe Jesus died for your sins?” I answered “Yes!” he was super surprised that all of this stuff I’m telling you had happened so hands off on his part. He recognized the drastic change in me and became a very supportive friend of mine. still is today

  obviously we are now talking some 12 years later and I did not continue on in this blissful state but started to attend a church as I was excited to find others who were enjoying this sweet revelation of God and his goodness. It was all that long after this that I fell back into old patterns of behavior and lost touch with the spiritual relationship that I had begun with.

Finally Free!

peers, spouses, significant others, co-workers, teachers, policeman, etc. are all under the authority and power of Satan if they are not born again. It is important to realize that those you love can hinder your spiritual growth, especially if you are yoked together with an unbeliever. Even a carnal Christian opens the door to a demon using him or her against you if he or she is not walking in love. Jesus was able to forgive His enemies from the cross based upon their ignorance of spiritual warfare. As the crowd yelled for Barabas to be spared, the Lord’s spiritual eyes were opened to discern that the power behind that crowd were the bulls of Bashan and the dogs that surrounded Him. (Psalm 22:12-16)

The bulls and the dogs are metaphors for ferocious demons that were invisible to everyone except the Lord. The Lord died for His enemies because God so love the world that

He sacrificed His Son so that no human being would have to be eternally lost. As you consider this revelation, you can ask yourself whether or not your hatred of your enemies is so strong

that you would desire that they would perish eternally. In other words, does your enemies’ attack on you or yours justify that they should spend all of eternity in hell when Jesus died for

them that they might go to heaven. Are you bold and stubborn enough to defy the Lord for one of those that He has died for and has commanded you to un-deceive  with your preaching and

your testimony?

Jonah is a classic example in the Bible of a judgmental, unforgiving person. He preferred that 120,000 enemies of God enter into eternal damnation. Even though Jonah knew that the Father

 loved the people of Nineveh so much that ordered Jonah to go and preach to  them, Jonah hardened His heart against the Lord’s will and ended up in the belly of a whale for His disobedience.

Jesus commands you to pray for your enemies. Your prayer should come out of His desire  that those whom He has chosen who were deceived into accepting the fake Jesus as their lord should be undeceived and come to a knowledge of the truth.

When you pray for your enemies in this manner, the love of God that was shed in your heart by the Holy Spirit at the moment of your rebirth will rise big within

you and will restore your soul. Otherwise, the Lord could prepare a special whale just for you in 2013!

At RESCUE, we are called to undeceive the elect as well as to be an online place of refuge for those whom the Holy Spirit has led out of the institutional church. We are also called to deliver those who have come out both damaged and demonized.  So give us a call at 518-477-5759

The bible defines faith as the substance of things hoped for.  So when considering evil faith, we need to concentrate on false hope. According to Jessie Penn-Lewis in “War on the Saints,” evil faith is a compulsion to “believe”which comes from evil spirits.  She makes an interesting point that even though the enemy may attack our shield of faith, this does not mean that the faith he is attacking is true faith. It has been my experience that when I came under the strongest attack, it was a counter-espionage type move, wherein the religious fallen angel assigned to me, attacked the faith that he himself inspired in me through false hope. Certainly religious spirits fight against true faith, but as the woman of God pointed out, we must examine and know the nature of the faith that is in us.  Is it of God by His Spirit, or does it emanate from our mind our will, or our personal desire?  Simply put, is its origin from us or from God? (p 275- 9th edition, unabridged version.)

Faith also comes by hearing, and hearing, by the word of God.  Was the Apostle Paul referring to the Bible?  Absolutely not!  The bible was not printed for 1500 years AFTER Paul wrote those words to the Hebrew Christians.  I believe the word of God in this instance is the revelation knowledge of the Holy Ghost, spoken to our spirits, interpreted in our minds and acted upon by the use of our wills. ” In other words, if we do not hear from God in the spirit, how can we have godly hopes that produce  true faith? Contrarily, evil faith is produced by the messages and revelation of evil spirits that comes forth as a result of giving credence to their words that we hear as messages we believe came from God.

I can look back now and recognize that I was sent messages from both God and the enemy.  Divinely sent hope and false hope produced both evil faith and true faith within me.  Here are a few examples, starting with the evil side first.

Prior to my salvation in 1977, I was very much the skeptic and the pessimist. Consequently, I did not  entertain any fantasies about soul mate and getting married.  In fact, I preferred dating married men for I rationalized, “if he cheats, it will be on his wife and not me.  Therefore, I won’t have to harm him or his goods.”  However, once I was born again, the enemy sent prophecies, visions and dreams that  declared I would be blessed with a husband who would be my spiritual partner in ministry.  These messages produced a compulsive, evil hope that fueled the wrong kind of  faith. In fact, evil faith  led me to sin with some and marry 2 different  husbands sent from the enemy to destroy me. In spite of my failures, the Lord delivered me from all enemies.

On the divine side, about 10 years ago,  I was shown that I would be inheriting from my grandmother’s estate.  I did not fully understand the dream at the time because my uncle Richie was alive and still living in Grammie’s home for 20 years after her death. Since her house was her entire estate, I did not understand how I could inherit  until Richie, my mother’s brother died.  I thought “Oh, this must have been the meaning of the dream.” However a week after Richie’s passing, Grammie’s heirs discovered that Richie had influenced Grammie to sign a will that left him her entire estate.  I contacted 5 different lawyers who all said the same thing.  The will was valid and we could not win the case.

Yet, divine hope triggered true faith.  Why? Because  I believed on the dream–that I would receive my rightful portion.  My faith led to works, for I became the pro se lawyer on the case, and with the help of God, I  proved in court what professional, seasoned  lawyers swore was impossible—-  undue influence and testamentary capacity.  It took 7 years, but by true faith, I would not be dissuaded or deterred.  When I won, victory has also come  to those heirs who did not contest.

 I received the check on Friday, July 13th, 2012, My uncle Richie’s birthday!!!

Since there are 364 other days that victory could have been achieved, how do I interpret this amazing event?

 With true faith, no weapon the enemy formed against me prospered.  My enemy was not my Uncle Richie.  Evil spirits simply used  his greed to block my inheritance.  The fact that I received the check on his birthday, seven years after his death— is divine proof that God is the author and finisher of my faith in this instance.

• Why Deliverance Counseling? YOU MUST DISOWN THE GROUND (pamsheppardpublishing.com)

When I developed the Christian counseling model called “deliverance counseling,” I explained the reason for its existence in the book “FACES OF THE RELIGIOUS dEMON: Freedom Through Deliverance Counseling.”  However, as I reading through “War on the Saints,” I found a quote written at least 100 years ago that explains deliverance counseling better than I can.  So here is the phenomenal quote of woman of God, Jessie Penn-Lewis:

“It has been thought almost  universally, that the only way to deal with demon possession is by casting out the evil spirit, by some divinely equipped believer.  But facts prove that this method is not always successful, for though the diagnosis of the intruder’s presence may be correct yet THE GROUND THAT GAVE IT OCCUPATION CANNOT BE CAST OUT; and unless the ground is dealt with, no full relief can be obtained, or change seen, in the majority of cases.”

In others, when the evil spirit apparently departs, it must not be concluded that the person is entirely free, for it may be that what has occurred is only THAT A PARTICULAR MANIFESTATION HAS CEASED, and it is not unlikely that another manifestation may appear; possibly not a visible one, or one easily perceived or detected, but recognizable by ANY WHO HAVE LEARNED TO DISCRIMINATE between the workings of evil spirits, and those which are human or divine.

It is possible also to suppress a certain manifestation for a time, and not entirely get rid of it; and the SAME manifestation may return again and again in DIFFERENT GUISE, UNLESS THE GROUND IS DEALT WITH.

Where the demon has a distinctive personality that is different and even contrary to its captive, its presence is obvious.  So when it is cast out, the captive knows he or she is free because the relief is immediate.

However, where the demon’s essence cannot be distinguished from the captive, it is hidden and can appear to be a natural property of the captive.

In such cases, truth should be presented FIRST, and the WILL of the captive should be strengthened so that he or she can refuse and DISOWN THE GROUND.” (page 180)

In a nutshell, Jessie Penn- Lewis has succinctly presented the case as to why I do not practice deliverance ministry and why I have developed a deliverance counseling model.

• What IS Deliverance???? (endtimeebooklibrary.com)
• The Religious Demon Thrives Off of Your Investment (pamsheppardpublishing.com)

Absolutely, no one believer has ALL the truth.  Yet even if there is one little error or lie in  the light we have been given, then we are deceived.

The biblical warning rings true.  Be not many masters for YOURS is the greater condemnation.

This warning is to me first and others later, as I too study and teach about endtimes.  In fact, my book “the New Idolatry” is  about the last days. Yet my approach is somewhat “different” as I focus on  uncovering  Satan’s real endtime  agenda. In that regard,  I remain neutral on  biblical symbols and timelines, particularly those that  I do not  yet understand. Nevertheless,  when I look around at those who are teaching about endtimes in books and  on the Internet, I see clearly how the religious demon that the bible calls “the spirit of the Anti-Christ” has taken advantage of and capitalized upon the misunderstandings of various self-proclaimed, renigade teachers’ misunderstandings or mis-interpretations of truth.

As one example of many, some teachers materialize what is meant to be spiritual, figurative or symbolic while  spiritualizing  what is meant to be material or actual.  Take 666—the number of the beast.  Some are teaching that there is an actual number that Satan’s people  will equate to or be marked with  666.  Well, if this be the case, I am already branded as one of my significant numbers has 3 6′s in it.  Look around and you will find your own 666—your birthday, your credit card or social security number as an example.  Others spiritualize this number with highly confusing and complicated meanings.

 Does ANYBODY really know what the actual mark of the beast is?

No!

Why not?

 Because it is not time to know.  When the hour comes upon us, all in the know “shall know” as it will be obvious and clear.

Premature interpretations that are emphatically presented as absolute truths yet the teaching is in error provide demonic doorways to seducing spirits to use us to teach  doctrines of devils. Some are even hearing voices, dreaming endtime scenarios with timelines of the Loord’s return— messages they automatically assumed were the voice of God, when they actually heeded a message from a fallen angel.  If you are hung-up on an enemy-sent  error, your willful stubborness and lack of flexibility provide  opportunities to deceive  to  both fallen angels and religious demons. Here is the deal. Just because you come in contact with 2 or 3, even 3000 people that agree with your revelation of the bible’s endtime  symbols or timelines does not mean that your interpretation is correct.  For the devil knows how to send the same lie to 3 million people, much less 2 or 3. Consequently, those who study and teach others about the end of days need to be absolutely sure that their prophecies and predictions did not come from the enemy.Otherwise, enhance your vocabulary by using expressions like “it could be, maybe, I think so, and don’t be ashamed of “I don’t know.”

For whenever we say “thus saith the Lord,” we are held both accountable and responsible for the damage that we cause.

You know them by their fruit.  If you became afraid even terrorized by a prophet or  a teacher’s endtime word, then he or she did not receive it from the Lord.  For Jesus said to His elect “Be not afraid.”

I preached  sermon after sermon  from a denominational pulpit for 25 years. For 10 years as a travelling evangelist, I preached an average of 30 sermons a year.  However the 15 years as a pastor, I preached at least 720 sermons a year.  Consider also that I watched others sermonize for as much as 20 times a year for 20 years.

Consequently, I have seen the work and met the souls up front and personal.  Yet sad to say,  I can only remember how the human presentation of the unfathomable victory and power of Cavalry and the Lord’s empty tomb has blurred and even watered down the gospel message to such an extent, that it has spiritually thrown multitudes off the track to a solid and steadfast conversion and rebirth. In fact, when I look back in reflexion, I am horrified by the disastrous  confusion produced by ALL of us preaching every conceivably human experience other than Jesus Christ of Nazareth crucified and raised from the dead.

Early in my preaching days, the Lord spoke to me in a dream and said ever so kindly, “Pam, don’t forget to call my name in your sermon on Sunday morning.” I could have been embarrassed but instead, I was deeply convicted.

I never forgot to call His name yet when I preached the resurrection, it seemed like everyone, including other ministers, were in a state of total religious blindness!!!!

As a seasoned preacher, I realize today that the problem with behind the pulpit sermonizing is the mind of the preacher.  The enemy has done a masterful job in calling preachers whose minds are unclear about what being raised from the dead means.  For as the serpent beguiled Eve, the mind behind the pulpit in this hour is corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

It is a fearfully blasphemous thing to hinder the Holy Ghost from reaching those whom the Lord called and chose for Himself before the worlds were framed.

Woe be to all who scatter His flock by not preaching in every single sermon, the power of the Lord’s resurrection to raise the dead spirits into eternal life.

You can’t preach what you do not understand.  If you do not understand the Lord’s resurrection, you need to watch the video above.
