What Is a Born Again Christian? Salvation 101

WHAT IS A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN? An Excerpt from RECOVERY IN CHRIST

There is much confusion in the body of Christ about this question primarily because most believers do not distinguish between the soul and the spirit. They are certainly NOT the same, nor are they interchangeable. Hebrews 4:12 points out the distinction, clearly suggesting that if we are to walk in the spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh—if we are to walk by faith and not by sight—if we are to crucify the flesh–then the soul and the flesh must be divided by the two-edged sword of the word of God.

In order to answer this question, we also need to have a sense of the differences and similarities between our  soul and our spirits. There are quite a few similarities. Though the body is mortal, the spirit and the soul are both eternal. As the body is finite and material, both the soul and the spirit are invisible and without natural substance. As the body has five senses, the spirit and the soul have senses also.

The spirit is heaven bound. If it were not for the soul, the spirit would “fly away.” The body is earth-bound. The two meet and correspond with each other through the activity of the soul. So a basic definition of the soul is that the soul is the mediator between the spirit and the body—an interpreter. A control center, if you will, with the brain of the body as its command center.

A person who is alive yet brain-dead, is one whose spirit is still in his body but his soul has left. A body without a soul is dead so they turn off the plug and the spirit flies away. However, when the spirit leaves and the soul remains in the body, as long as the spirit does not travel too far into “outer space,” the soul keeps the body intact and alive. Out of body experiences are called astral travel by occultists. However, every day, the spirit often takes “little trips” through day dreaming and deeper forms of altered states of consciousness.

When the body is asleep, the soul is busy keeping things in order.

For example, when you are sleeping and your body gets the urge to urinate, the spirit will create a toilet in a very imaginary way. Because I take a water pill at night, this happens to me frequently. The soul tries to “help out” and I see the toilet in the spirit, but something always goes wrong. In a dream, I see myself making the effort, but the sensation in my body continues to increase and my soul continues to try to work things out in my mind, but a mental picture of urinating does not help the situation. So my soul simply wakes up my body and says, “hey Pam, you’d better get your body up before we have an accident in this bed.”

This little example shows how when you are sleeping, the body is at rest and therefore is at its weakest. The spirit and the soul often fight for control, at times manifested as a strange dream. Demons also try to send their messages to the soul and God will also communicate in dreams, but only to your spirit. While the spirit operates in the unconscious realm of intuition, the body in the conscious realm of the natural world, the soul functions in both realms. For this reason, the soul and the spirit of a born again, saved person must be divided, for God will only speak to your spirit.

Here is the thing. When the Holy Ghost draws us to Jesus, our spirits immediately become “born again.” That which is flesh is flesh. Flesh is a mixture of soul with the body. Flesh is also a mixture of soul with the spirit. So when God “saves us,” He

"I'm a new creature because I have a new spirit. Old things are passed away and all things have become NEW!!!

gives us a NEW SPIRIT. All of the darkness that was in our spirits BEFORE the Holy Ghost translates us out of darkness into God’s marvelous light, our spirits were depraved and contaminated with evil. That is why when we slept, we had so many nightmares. The evil that we saw was merely a reflection of our own dark spirits, contending with demons.

When our spirits are born again, all things pass away, all things become NEW. We become a “new creation.” God’s light comes into our spirits and our spirits become the temple of God. Our spirits are ALWAYS eternal, both before salvation and after it. Before the new birth, our spirits are in captivity to Satan. As soon as we say “yes” to the invitation of Jesus, our spirits are immediately changed, justified, sanctified, seated in heavenly places. We are “translated” or brought out of Satan’s dark jail into the marvelous light of Jesus Christ. To be sanctified is to be set apart for God’s use—a vessel of God. To be justified is to be treated as though we never sinned. We are washed and cleansed. We are seated in heavenly places immediately, with our prayers having immediate access to the throne of God.

I know that rebirth is immediate because the Lord allowed me to actually SEE the process at the moment of the rebirth of my  own spirit. I was laying on my back on my couch in a birthing position, legs wide open as in labor. Contractions began to occur but they were not in my womb. They were in the chest/belly area, the seat of my spirit. As I lay there, I saw a light, like the hand of God, go into that area, as if it was gently massaging me there. I had about 4 deep “birth pains” and then “voila!”

"I'm a new creature because I have a new spirit!' Cool Christian Cat! lol

Hard to explain. All I know is that the old gospel song which asks “how did you feel when you come out the wilderness? Did your hands look new and your feet too?” Yes, Lord! lol. I actually felt like I had just been born for the FIRST time. It was like I had no existence before that day on 3/29/1977 at 4pm on a Monday! I was crying and laughing at the same time! What joy unspeakable. I have felt the joy of the Lord many times, but never like the day that my spirit was made new and I was born again.

However, the soul said, “Hey, Pam. You are 33 years old. Life goes on. Let’s get real, here, okay?”

Yep. My un-renewed soul showed up the next day, March 30. It was my favorite aunt’s birthday. I’d never missed sending her a card or buying her a gift. So I wanted to call her. The Holy Spirit said “No, Pam. Today is God’s day.” I struggled real hard that day. The Lord told me to sit and think on nothing but Him for the entire day. Try as I might, it was real rough. I wanted to go see about my aunt. As I sat there, my mind thought of all the things I could be doing. I remember thinking, “the toilet needs to be cleaned.” I wanted to get up from being before the Lord to clean my toilet. It was the strangest thing because my flesh is not fond of house cleaning. By sundown, I was a sobbing mess!!!

That is how the Lord showed me that even though my spirit was born again, the salvation of my soul had to be “worked out.” How? By the renewing of my mind.

I’m just going by memory here but this is how the salvation of our souls is worked out. We present our bodies—-all 3 parts–as a sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God as a reasonable service. Where our soul and our bodies are concerned, we are not to be conformed to this world. Instead, we are to allow ourselves to be “transformed” by THE RENEWING OF OUR MINDS.

With a renewed mind, the salvation of our souls is worked out. Why? Because the soul consists of the mind, the intellect, the emotions, the feelings, ie. the individual, human personality that makes each of us different—one from the other. There are no souls that are the same. So the renewal will affect each of us differently.

Each soul is an “I AM.” However, God is the I AM THAT I AM.” So the working out of the soul’s salvation often involves wrestling not only with principalities and powers but with God Himself. The Holy Ghost, though the Comforter, He is also the taskmaster. He helps us to put to death the deeds of the flesh for we can not work out the salvation of our soul’s without the Holy Ghost. He will put us in situations in order to break the “self” aspect of our soul because the soul is “all about self.”

Charismatic Churches

An Excerpt from THE NEW IDOLATRY

A Must Read for the Elect

Charismatic Churches:  Taken from Chapter 3 of the New Idolatry:Charismatic Witchcraft, Deliverance and Other Counterfeits

Uplifting, often energetic, rhythmic music with lots of percussion instruments, led by dynamic, “charismatic” personalities who prance, shout, run, strut, slide and even dance across stages and platforms are elements of a “worship in the flesh.” Charismatic, Pentecostal worship provokes an emotional, sometimes demonstrative response, an outburst of some kind. Extremely skilled at manipulating a crowd by stirring up the emotions, once sufficiently stirred, the characteristic outbursts are shouts, screams and similar outcries that will ignite an entire congregation. Demons use these kinds of outbursts to counterfeit the Holy Ghost with nonsensical laughter, shouting, falling slain, rolling on the floor,running up and down aisles, and even throwing money at the feet of a prominent evangelist, and other forms of emotional frenzy.

Most of the demonically tormented people who I have counseled in the last ten years were active members charismatic and Pentecostalchurches. Some of them were set free but others remain tormented. So it no longer comes as a surprise to me that some of them will never find relief from demonic torment. In pastoral counseling, it is an empirical fact that white magic practitioners who attend Christian churches are soshackled to the sin of idolatry, that release from demonic captivity is unobtainable without a thorough confession and renunciation of charismatic witchcraft. As a consequence, the spiritual pride deeply rooted in the charismatic movement remains the stumbling block as “God resists the proud.”

  The Baptism in the Holy Ghost

Charismatic witchcraft practitioners have identified the speaking in tongues as the evidence that someone is born again. Yet I have found that those who are demonically tormented spoke in tongues, but under further examination, it as discovered that they were not saved because they never repented and they did not understand the resurrection of Jesus Christ. One hundred years ago, Jessie Penn Lewis warned the believers of her day not to seek after signs:

“Again, in connection with the seeking of ‘manifestations’ as an evidence of a believer having received the baptism of the Spirit, methods have been used to bring these about, that synchronize with the methods of mesmerism, and thus counterfeits have broken into the true church of Christ. In other cases, believers have had a true influx of the Holy Spirit into their human spirit, and through ignorance they have developed the psychic power latent in the human frame, and brought about mixture in their own life and service for God, eg. If a chorus is sung over and over again, they can bring a meeting into a psychic condition, when those present become incapable of intelligent thinking, or any decisive action of will. Thus on a flood tide of psychic force in the world today the demons are carrying out their plans and purposes.”[11]

In a lecture concerning demonism and psychotherapy, German psychiatrist Alfred Lechler shed a somber light on demonic captivity: “What then must we regard as the cause of demonic enslavement or possession? If we enquire closely from such people as bear the marks we have just mentioned, we very often find in their background the use of magic means such as are employed in black magic—acts of charming or being charmed, the sin of fortune-telling or visits to fortune tellers and card layers, and participation in spiritist sessions. Black magic is much more prevalent than is ordinarily assumed…When we look into the Bible, we note that it too is well acquainted with enchantment. It is in Acts 19 described as a ‘prying art.’ (here we also find mention of magic books.”“together with spiritist activities, magic stands in a class of its own in relation to other sins, when it includes an appeal to Satan’s services or even a formal pact with Satan. The Bible speaks of this too (Isaiah 28:15-18). For by invoking Satan, man yields himselfunequivocally to powers of darkness, in that he attempts by magic and the help of Satanic power to gain something that God has forbidden or withheld.”[12]

I must concur with the late Dr. Lechler, a German who practiced psychiatry before I was born. Five or more decades later, what I have found astounding is that in practically every case of demonic torment among my own Christian clients, a common factor is that 95 percent of them were not demon oppressed  BEFORE they went to a charismatic, “word of faith, non-denominational church.

END OF TIMES SIGN: False Conversions

  1. An End of Times Sign: False Conversions

I have been a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ since 1981, yet, I warn you. Church is not only a dangerous place , but around the globe, many churches are actually so dangerous, that people should run from them as if they were about to explode at any minute. I myself will never return for any reason. I explain in detail in “Come Out of Her, God’s People.” I have a pastor’s heart and have functioned in the pastor’s calling for two decades , and I am still a pastor without a visible pulpit. My pulpit is the worldwide web. Anyone, anywhere can send me a message by email, social networks or call me on the phone.  I am available for prayer, counseling, teaching, training, personal guidance and deliverance.In fact,  I have chased more demons by phone in one year than I did as a pastor in the harlot system for 25 years.

Even so, I personally believe that a person can grow spiritually without regularly attending any organized church. Most definitely, you should assemble with the saints, but the word of God does not lay out a detailed order of service, nor does it suggest the day you should assemble, the time or even the nature of the place or building where gathering together should take place. We live in a computerized world, where we can “assemble” 24 and 7. Simply put, I truly believe that the organized church as it now stands will be completely revamped by the Lord. Why? Because quite frankly, the traditional structures are not working. I myself have no replacements to offer, I closed my own local assembly three years ago.

For 25 years in the organized church as a minister, I was hopeful that repentance would bring about reformation and renewal to the organized church. However, the love of money, which is the root of ALL evil, has permeated most of the church and I seriously doubt if the Lord is going to allow it to continue to exist in its present state. Judgement is swiftly coming and I shudder at what is going to happen to church and to churchgoers. There are plagues for those who do not “come out of Her.”

My suspicion that the age of the organized church is either over or very close to ending has been growing over time. There is one startling fact.— I emphasize a crucial, damnable sign of the end of the gentile age. The bottom of the bottom line is that souls are not being saved in the organized church. What is really troublesome is that I am finding that even the best churches can be hazardous, primarily because subtle deception is actually held in place by the sincerity and the commitment of its leadership. To be sincerely wrong can be almost as deadly as being obviously deceived or purposefully deceptive.

In order to understand the nature of end times, we need to have a general insight on “what has been goin on.” I have read newsletters, articles and books written by well-meaning sisters and brothers that are too complicated for the average Christian. We have some very intelligent people in the remnant church—real deep, scholarly thinkers. The problem is that as they major on each individual tree, our minds are overrun with too many thoughts, too many ideas.

To get a picture of “what’s goin on” , it is important that we consider the intense significance of the fact that man was made a little lower than the angels. As are angels, we too are created beings. The highest created being was Lucifer, as there was no creature superior to him. Beneath Lucifer were the rest of the angelic creation: cherubim and seraphim, the archangels, principalities and powers, the lower angels and demons. The bible also suggests that there were other living creatures on earth who themselves fell at the time of Lucifer’s rebellion. It is believed that their disembodied spirits make up the lower class of demons. Of this, no one is sure. All we know is that no matter the class of demon, in the Name of Jesus, we can “cast them out from people.”

However, demons cannot be cast out of the organized church because the leadership will not repent for practical reasons that I call the 5 “P’s”. It has too much to lose. Position–self images are in jeopardy. Power—too many enjoy ruling over others. Prestige–vanity relishes in the exaltation of people. Pride–puffed up preachers will not admit to doctrinal error. Prosperity–too many livelihoods depend upon tithes and offerings. No one will risk financial stability in hard times.

The dire situation of the visible church is like a run away train. To stop, it must crash.

And crash, it will.

BREAK YOUR SOUL TIE TO “HER!”

 You may be one of those who has come out of the organized church, yet you may need deliverance from the Fake Jesus. If you need help, call 518-477-5759

Christian Deliverance? It Ain’t Easy!

Christian Deliverance Ain’t Easy by Pam Sheppard

What I am finding in my counseling practice with Christians, is that churchgoers who are reporting that they are being tormented by demons DID NOT REALLY  GET SAVED WHEN THEY THOUGHT THAT THEY DID!!!!! Besides not understanding repentance in a fullness, I believe that what some professing Christians miss is that a resurrected body is the same body that died,—- the original body that has been made new or “renovated.” A glorified body is never subject to death again.Lazarus was raised from the dead in his “same” body but his body was not glorified because he would die again. Lazarus was not raised immortal.

Ola Cruz  was the first client that manifested this problem in 2002.  I was not her deliverance counselor as I had not yet conceived the term “deliverance counseling.”  In fact, Ola’s case is what caused me to conceive the term in the first place. For a year, I did not realize that Ola did not understand this concept. When people say “Jesus was raised from the dead,” those who don’t understand are just repeating a memorized phrase that they have accepted. But when you go deeper, those who have been made confused by word of faith teaching will say “Oh, Jesus had a glorified body which means he had a new body.” I ask them “Well what happened to the old body?” Some will say “it was buried, it decomposed, it floated away with his spirit, “I don’t know”or just “it disappeared in some supernatural way, like the work of a magician who pulls a rabbit out of a hat!”

The root of the problem is that they have misunderstand the scripture in Corinthians which says “it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body, and there is a spiritual body.” I cor 15:44. What they don’t understand is that a natural body is physical and a spiritual body is material as well. A natural body is subject to death. A spiritual body is not. A natural body when dead will decompose or be “corruptible.” A spiritual body is raised “incorruptible.” It will never decay. That is the difference between the two. So when I ask the key question, “was Jesus raised as a physical body or was He raised as a spirit, the response will be “He was raised as a spirit.” In spite of the fact that Jesus showed his original yet glorified body to Thomas and said to him “a spirit does not have flesh and bone as I have”, they STILL miss it. A crucial error that will determine where they abide in eternity. I didn’t write this.. Paul did. It is in I Cor 15:17: And if Christ is not risen, your faith is vain (futile) AND YOU ARE STILL IN YOUR SINS. To still be in your sins is to “not be saved or born again.” So if you don’t understand what resurrection means, then how can you believe that “Jesus was risen?” So the logical conclusion is that anyone who does not understand resurrection but came to the Jesus of their understanding IS NOT SAVED!

As both a servant of God and a professional Christian counselor, I really thought that when people said “He is risen,” that they understood what that meant. More than thirty years ago when I myself was unsaved, I understood resurrection because I had no concept at all of what a spirit was. I was all flesh: a two-part being of mind and body. So since I didn’t have an understanding of what the word “spirit” meant, I was never confused into thinking that “to be raised” meant to float away as a spirit. All I knew about resurrection was what I had seen in the movies or heard at Easter. I laughed at this. I said “Christians must think that people are stupid. It is very clear to me that when you are dead you are DEAD and there is no coming back to life.”

On the day that I got born again in my living room, faith to believe that Jesus came back to life in the same body that He died in at the cross literally burst through my mind and I was in a state of shock. After I repented for being a sinner, the resurrection flashed into my mind immediately. Once I went to church and became a minister, I didn’t think that what happened to me was supposed to happen to everyone that got saved, even after I read “confess the Lord Jesus with your mouth AND BELIEVE IN YOUR HEART THAT HE WAS RAISED FROM THE DEAD! The Greek word for “heart” is “cardia.” Cardia means “the mind, the emotions, the thoughts and the feelings.” The spiritual heart is a part of the human soul. Once I explain the resurrection to MOST of my clients who have been confused, they become saved prior to dealing with the issues of being set free from demons. . For some, it is immediate, for others, it takes a while. In some cases, the religious spirit is so entrenched in the person, that it must be cast out first so that the person can believe in the resurrection. This was the case of Ola. Practically EVERYTHING that she did that was under the power of a religious demon–a familiar spirit, a spirit of divination: preach, praise the Lord, prophecy, speak in tongues, discern spirits and see into the spirit world, was entirely counterfeited by the religious demon that resides in her. Sometimes Ola  herself was like she was “not there.” This is why she had no recall what transpired during deliverance sessions. Since they were taped, she could not deny it once she listened to them.

When you trace their alleged conversion to Christ back to the original source by skillful asking questions during the plowing stage of counseling, the source of the problem is almost always uncovered. For example, when some of my clients came to Christ, they came for the wrong reasons under strange/demonic circumstances. Religious demons “specialize.” There are some who want to do religious things, just like the Pharisees and the Sadducees of Jesus day. Remember the words of the Lord to them?” He said “You will tithe even something as small as a mint. Yet you are like whitewashed tombs, clean on the outside but filled with dead men’s bones. Your are of your Father, the devil. Vipers. A viper is a snake, the snake representing counterfeit religion. Someone posed the following question to me in an email : if a person is operating off of only what they know and have been taught, won’t the Lord make an exception? Wouldn’t that be another “specific” example? In other words, if someone sincerely repents, loves the Lord, and accepts Him as their savior, and they die before they have been TAUGHT and DISCIPLED, wouldn’t the Lord take that into consideration? After all, HE KNOWS THE HEARTS OF MEN, and we don’t, RIGHT?”

This is the exact situation that each and every one of my clients have found themselves in. The Lord has made an exception in each of their cases. He has seen to it that they DO NOT DIE before they have been counseled. Teaching and discipling is a part of the counseling process. The Lord has taken each client’s plight into consideration, by first opening my eyes and instructing me on how to recognize the deception, and how to counsel, teach and disciple him or her. Some have fallen under the category of II Cor 4:3,4: For if our gospel be hid or veiled, it is hid to those who are lost, whose minds the god of this world has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ,  which is the image of God, should shine on them. So I will have to cast out the religious demon first, BEFORE the client can be saved.

If I look at this problem from carnal eyes, then I could get discouraged. I can only handle 30 clients at a time and it takes from 3 months to a year per client. I just don’t question God about what He is doing for these kinds of captives. I simply DO MY PART which seems so small that it appears non-existent when you consider how many professing Christians may have already been deceived. God doesHis part. For example, every one of my clients have had a dream that led them to me or they were surfing the web and found me. I don’t know how many others the Lord is using in like manner to these kinds of captives free. People seeking Christ through the ministry of those who are preaching “another gospel” and presenting “another Jesus” in churches of all kinds and with folk who stay home and watch TBN are becoming mentally, spiritually  and even physically bound. People are picking up religious demons at Pentecostal altars, where they have been “tarrying” or “chanting” to receive the Holy Ghost and to speak with other tongues. Some clients ended up with absolutely no control over their bodies. Those I couldn’t help refused to even consider that they were not saved. Once the Pentecostals got a grip on them and they”manifested” the speaking in a tongues, they became super spiritual. Peice by peice, the demons took over. The demons spoke through several clients, using their bodies to do various things. .You can read more on this in my book “Faces of the Religious Demon.”  (e-book, click here.)

In a strange case of a client I call ” Carol.”  Carol  is unique because she is obedient, compliant, coherent and willing to do anything to be delivered, which was not the case with others. I see no real fault in her as I have seen in some of the others. She was simply watching TV, responded to a sinner’s prayer through a Mormon sponsored program, then began to feed off of the teachings of mega TV preachers and was guided to a mega church by a vision that was demonically inspired.  As it stands, I work with those that I can, and I plant a seed into those that I cannot help, and pray that the Lord will direct them to true Christians who will nurture and water that seed.

For those who refuse to hear, I let them fire me and I shake the dust from my feet and move on to the next captive.

Standing In the Evil Day

   

 
 

CAN YOU STAND IN THE EVIL DAY? by Pam Sheppard

 

Certainly, the “EVIL DAY” referred to in the bible is when the Anti-Christ actually rules the known world in the near future.  However, the spirit of the antichrist has been present from the days of the first Apostles, with Judas Iscariot as “the spirit of the Anti-Christ.”

Yet there is also “the evil day” referred to in the Lord’s prayer.  When we ask the Father to “give us this day,” besides our personal need for the basic necessities of life, yet another way to understand our prayer request is to understand that we are actually asking God to “MAKE US READY” FOR DEMONIC DELUSION AND DEVILISH DECEPTION.” So on a personal dimension, the evil day is anytime the enemy attacks us.   The most clever, insidious form of attack made on the elect has actually been permitted by God Himself.  Satan cannot touch God’s people unless God Himself gives the enemy permission.  Paul even warned the Thessalonians  that in the last days, God would send “strong delusion” so that many of those who follow Him would believe a lie. Through spiritual ignorance, too numerous among devoted churchgoers are those I have found to be  in an awful place, where they actually oppose the very truth of God in support of demonic deception. 

Demons and devils are clever strategists who distract by the obvious in order to dupe the elect by the unseen.  I know their various  strategies  very well for religious devils  worked with me for about 20 years.  Without the grace of God, I admit that I too would be poor, blind and naked in the spirit today. God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble.  I have been given grace to escape many demonic traps that were set for me because I humbled myself to the truth.   I believe that we are living in the last church age of Laodicea–an age of strong delusion and deception.  On a personal note===In my counseling practice, I have worked with several innocent people whom devils set out to spiritually destroy in this season, due to their lack of knowledge of Satan’s secret devices and deceptions. I have also witnessed that true believers in Jesus Christ of Nazareth are in the most danger of deception because the unseen entities assigned to us are very skilled at using our faithfulness and our commitment to the word of God against us. The primary error of the faithful is the false assumption that God will not allow us to be deceived by the devil. 

 Yet the Lord’s warning that we are to pray that our Father not allow the enemy to   lead us into temptation but deliver us from evil on a daily basis strongly speaks to me that THE EVIL DAY IS EVERY DAY! Therefore, each BLOG  is designed to GET YOU READY  for the “next evil day.”  To be ready is to assume that strong delusion has already been released in our time.  With these letters, my associate mentors and I are committed to helping you prepare to escape every trap set for you by the devils and demons assigned to you.  Believe me.  I know from experience.  Your traps have long been set in motion. Besides being spiritual, my nature is also very practical.  I am well aware that my calling is not very popular.  So I don’t expect everyone to be receptive to these blog posts. I also realize  that I am called “to the few,” “the remnant of God.  I expect many will be unreceptive and un-responsive.   I wish you well and  extend my farewell to you now. For the rest of you, I will commit myself to ensure that when our Lord and Saviour comes again and  if you are alive,  you and yours will be wise virgins. The foolish are too braindead for me to reach. 

In the THE NEW IDOLATRY you will find these words: 

Besides watching, I believe that close to the end of the church age, there is yet another season: a time of preparation.  Watching is the first step to that preparation.  We must be very watchful because Satan has planned a deception of cosmic proportions.  “It won’t be a false doctrine, a defective world-view, or one of the tragic “isms” so prevalent today.  It will include a comprehensive global leadership backed by supernatural powers and capabilities that will overwhelm the imagination of the world at large.  And it will be authenticated by miracles–great signs and lying wonders. (Chuck Missler and Mark Eastman, ALIEN ENCOUNTERS.) When TD Jakes first became popular through television, he had a slogan that is timely for today.  “‘GEt ready, get ready, get ready, get ready.” He repeated it very quickly.  So do I with this book, “the New Idolatry.” With this book, I am saying to the remnant of God’s people with fervency:  GET READY, GET READY, GET READY, GET READY!”

ASSURANCE OF SALVATION by Pam Sheppard

   

 
 

Are You SURE about your salvation?

 

 I received an email from a charismatic church leader of 40 years.  He wrote: “I’m considered a bible scholar yet I know that I am not saved because I am empty.  I have no fruit.  No love, joy peace, etc.” 

Though sad, I perceive that today he is in the right place because he has examined himself, according to the scriptures.  Therefore, God has shed light on his spiritual condition so that he would not be confused.  In order to get ready to be saved, this man has to deny the counterfeit birth, for he has also been speaking in a tongue for 4 decades.  Is he willing to go the extra mile and be cleansed from “the former things?” Is he willing to be de-programmed from religiosity is the question. As diverse and even as divided as the organized church has been for centuries, there is one false doctrine that  every church partakes of and  continually spreads.  It is the doctrine that “we can accept Jesus.” 

Consider this.  The main reason why believers were commissioned to preach the gospel two centuries ago was so that the Holy Ghost could use the uttered word to draw those who have already been chosen by God before the beginning of time.  Those that God has chosen hear the word, receive it and are saved by God through it.   Yet for 200 years or more, the gospel  has been tainted with an insidious error that few seem to be able to correct because most ministers are totally unaware of it.  Hears a question I want you to think about for a minute.  If we can be saved by simply making a decision and “accepting Jesus into our hearts,” then isn’t that very decision a work of OURS, and therefore, we can BOAST THAT “WE ACCEPTED JESUS?”  The next question that follows is “well, if accepting the Lord is a work of my volition, has the gospel I heard been changed from “God’s sovereign grace to MY DECISION!!!???

 Let’s face it.  Do you really believe that you became born again simply because “YOU” chose to be?  Do you believe that as a result, you are now saved simply because you responded to an altar call and/or you repeated a sinner’s prayer and asked Jesus to come into your heart?”  Commonsense ought to reveal that Jesus cannot come into our hearts if He is physically sitting at the right hand of the Father.  The Holy Spirit comes into our spirits when we are saved, “not out hearts.”  The heart is a function of the soul, in Greek called “the cardia.”  The cardia consists of our minds and our emotions.  We know from the word that we are first saved “IN OUR SPIRITS.  Our souls are changed progressively as we work out our “soul” salvation with fear and trembling.

Charles Finney is the minister who in the 1800’s introduced the “I accept Jesus” teaching and practices into the organized church.  To read more about him, click on his name.  To know more  about how the fake Jesus has infiltrated the churches with the “I accept Jesus doctrine” , you need either the Fake Jesus, Come Out of Her God’s People, the New Idolatry or Faces of the Religious Demon.If you repeated the words of a sinner’s prayer, or you came forward and walked the aisle of any church or convention center, you might yet be saved, but chances are that you are not.   Why?  Because salvation is of the Lord and not of man, lest we boast that “I accepted Jesus.”  God  is the One Who does the choosing because salvation is given to us by the Father, as we are led by the Holy Spirit to the cross of Jesus Christ.  The bible is clear that no one would choose Jesus unless He is drawn by God Himself.  The bible is also clear that all who would be saved were chosen BEFORE the world was framed. Generally, those who are not saved are really not sure of their salvation.  They waver about it quite a bit.  So if you are not sure, GIVE ME A CALL. 518-477-5759

ii Thessalonians: Strong Delusion is Here!

ii Thessalonians: Strong Delusion is Here!

Jessie Penn-Lewis, the author of "War on the Saints," is the woman of God of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.

One of my client presently  in counseling suggested to a Charismatic friend that she visit my website and consider seeking my services.  The friend DID visit www.pamsheppard.com  As a result of her visit, the friend  told my client  that “the woman is of the devil.”  I was not shocked, or concerned, certainly  not offended.  My response to my client this morning  was “If someone had introduced the “me” of today to me ten years ago, my reaction would have been the same as your friend.”  Ten years ago, the message that I bring today, I myself  would have rejected. I too would have believed that anyone who brought such a message “is of the devil.”  My eyes were opened by a book and a prayer about 10 years ago.  The book was “War on the Saints” by Jessie Penn-Lewis. The prayer was “Lord, expose the darkness that may be around me.” My prayer was immediately and progressively answered. The darkness has been  EVERYWHERE.  Strong, strong  delusion!!

The bible foretells through Paul to the Thessalonian believers  that in the last days, a time in church history would come  when God would send “strong delusion.” In like manner,  Paul even warned Timothy that in the last days, there would be a group of demons who would infiltrate the churches with false and mixed doctrine, capable of even causing some of the elect to “depart from the faith” and give heed to or listen and absorb   devilish false teachings.

 

 From my work on “the Fake Jesus”, I have been convinced that  “THAT DAY” came already. “Strong delusion” has already been poured out.    Paul  also wrote the Thessalonians  that the anti-Christ was being restrained by the Holy Ghost.  Even so,   there would come a day in church history when the Holy Ghost would be so grieved, that He would be “taken out of the way.”  Paul wrote to the Thessalonians that when the Holy Ghost is taken out-of-the-way, the anti-Christ would be revealed.

With  the preparation of  “the Fake Jesus,” I now believe that the Anti-Christ is really a fallen angel.  Certainly this angel will use the body of a man at some point and there are indications that  he has already done so.  According to Benjamin Creme, mentioned in the Fake Jesus, Maitreya was  first revealed in the flesh in July 1977. I was born again in March 1977, just 4 months before Maitreya was revealed.

 

How did I get to church in the first place?  Well, I had 3 dreams that sent me to an African-American denomination in 1979.  I learned just as I finished “The Fake Jesus” a few years ago,  that those dreams came from the religious fallen angel  that is assigned to me.  The book “Come Out of Her, God’s People” addresses why the enemy would actually “send me to church” and why God would allow it to happen.

 

It is important to note, that I myself didn’t get saved from “the preached word in a church.”  I knew the gospel through the holidays and the movies  about Jesus.  I had heard that Jesus  had died for my sins and that He was raised from the dead.  I heard, I understood, and I did not believe.

 

In spite of my godlessness, I got saved because the Holy Ghost drew me to the cross in March 1977 and caused me to see that I was a sinner and I repented.  Instantly, faith was dropped into me to believe that Jesus was dead but HE got up from the grave in His physical body.  It was like a light bulb went off in my spirit, remaining there like a hard rock for the next 34 years. 

 

Without ever having heard a word preached in a sermon by a minister behind the pulpit, God saved me anyway.  It is an experience that absolutely no one can take away from me.

 

If God saved me, an atheist, without any church background who had never even read the bible, then God can save anyone anywhere. The irony is that once the gospel was preached in the first century, the Lord really has not needed any of us. Once the  entire known world came to know about the cross and the resurrection of Jesus Christ 19 centuries ago, the message was planted in the collective consciousness from one generation to another.

 

In our generation, the word of God has  also been heard around the world.  There is no where that the name of Jesus is not known.  To preach is not to stand behind a pulpit with a sermon.  To preach is “to proclaim” or simply “to tell the story of Jesus.”  The truth is that THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD HAS ALREADY BEEN TOLD!!!!”

Witchcraft Spells and You: Sex Magic Part 2

Witchcraft spells and you, is the topic of this series of blog posts. What does a believer need to know about witchcraft? As the apostle Paul said, the devil stalks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Let us remain vigilant and alert to his dirty tricks and demonic wiles. How do witches take control of their victims? What exact tactics do they employ?

In the last article…

In the last article, Patrice, an x-witch turned Christian, gave us an inside look into the kingdom of darkness, and how she used sex magic, as a means of domination and control. I wanted Patrice to give us more details on how witches can put folks into bondage. Sex magic and love spells are meant to force victims into unwanted sexual relationships. In the case of sex magic, the witch wants to enslave victims into sexual relations.

Beware…Be vigilant and be advised…

If you suspect that your under this type of witchcraft spell, Patrice’s insights may be of help to you. But my best suggestion is that you sign-up for mentoring with Pam Sheppard. Pam Sheppard has over 25 years of pastoral experience. Her expertise in deliverance mentoring, is second to none. Visit Pam website today at http://www.pamsheppard.com

Let’s continue examining the devils rotten fruits and demonic tactics. I caught up with Patrice and presented her with a few more questions. Our communications and her answers are listed below:

Deliverance From Church Addiction


DELIVERANCE FROM CHURCH ADDICTION: An Excerpt from “Come out of Her, God’s People.” by Pam Sheppard


Deliverance from church is no easy feat because Church attendance can evolve into an addiction.  Once you get hooked, you need to be “detoxed.”  As substance abusers go into a 28-day detox to “get clean,” church addicts need to stay out of church for at least 28-30 days.  As creatures of habit, I have found that any addiction can be physically broken in that time period. Even so, once the 28 day fast is completed, the addiction in the soul is yet another story.  The mind, the heart and the emotions must be renewed and for that, a drug addict will go into either a 90 day out-patient facility or a 6 months residential program.

 So too with the church addict.  From 90 days to 6 months, perhaps a year, the church addict’s mind must be re-trained.  False doctrines and practices  that the churchgoer has believed in  for decades must be challenged so that the soul can be renewed.  As God Himself has compared false worship to prostitution or whoredom , I am not out of line in making a similar comparison.  A church addiction can be compared to “good sex” with someone you know does not really love you.  Simply put, you get hooked to the thrill and the feeling.  Those of us who have never “been there and done that” wonder what the thrill is for a masochist.  Masochism from a psychiatric perspective is defined as a condition in which sexual gratification depends on suffering, physical pain and humiliation gained from despair, deprivation, and degradation.  The perpetrator can be others or it can be self-inflicted. Unfortunately, masochists are known to find pleasure in self-denial and emotional pain.

I can relate on a spiritual level because sexual masochism is like self-imposed  martyrdom.  For example, it is not a part of my normal  personality  to tolerate a lack of regard or disrespect from anyone, yet I passively allowed myself to be frequently humiliated over a 25 year span by ignorant church bishops, elders and members who would have been of no consequence to me in the world. It is actually  in my  carnal nature to chew up the meat and spit out the bones of  folk like this.  But in the church, I allowed these abusers to ascend themselves over me  with their spiritual feet in my back, tacitly enduring  their verbal abuse and complete disregard of my personhood, over and over again. 

Why? Because I ignorantly assumed that I was “suffering for Christ.”  Notwithstanding, like a spiritual masochist, a sensual, carnal thrill was obtainable through believing that I was more righteous than they because I was faithfully  doing God’s will.  What a shock to find out after more than two decades, that “God never sent me there for ANY reason.” He simply used what the enemy meant for evil for my personal and spiritual good, so that I could be used by Him to help others “help themselves!” Nevertheless,  as one who was “addicted,” I never wanted to leave that Whore  on my own so God made HER  PUT ME OUT!!!! 

Ignorant of my own emotional condition, I foolishly  submitted myself to  the spiritual abuse that those I pastored inflicted upon me.  Whatever they needed, I was there for them. I spent quality time with most of them–shopping, vacations and other outings, cooking for them, you name it. I was at the jails, hospitals, homes.  I was a devoted pastor, never controlling or demanding with anyone.  I even came from behind the pulpit and taught them as Jesus did.  Yet none of my efforts bore any fruit in them  for Jesus Christ.

     The irony is that the devil used those I pastored in three different churches to try to cause me to change my definition of the word “pastor”.   Religious devils used church members  to try to beat me down with discouragement by causing them to treat me  with a lack of appreciation, regard and respect. In other words, I was not loved.  For some time, I thought it was because I am “not a man.”  I have seen men revered who were known to be homosexuals, abusers of all kinds.  But my gender was not the cause. The only distinction between me and them was that I was not raised in church and I came to know Jesus Christ outside of church walls.

  As I reflect, I do not recall that I ever really  pastored those who were truly saved.  Even when I started my own church in 1996, I  remained abused by people who actually  chose to follow me.  Yet, as I remember each one of them, I see no fruit for Jesus Christ. In spite of the fact that  I preached a powerful message, the word fell on ground that “was not good.”

CLICK THE COVER


Why?  There is a simple answer, taken straight from the Lord’s own lips.  When folk are serving two masters, they end up hating one and loving the other. Therefore their hatred of me was not “personal.”  It was scriptural and it was prophetic.   The sheep I served  were serving two masters.  Since I belong to Christ,  I was despised. Therefore, it is understandable to me now, that  it was not God who called me to ministry while I was in the Denomination. I could be wrong but I don’t believe that  God  would  call anyone of His to serve Him  within such a filthy, corrupt system. 

 Once I embraced this truth, I realized that my situation can be compared to the first predicament of His servant Moses.  While he was in Egypt, Moses tried to help his own people but  he failed.  It was not until he was forced out of Egypt into the wilderness, that God prepared him for ministry.   In like manner today,  I believe that to be used by God effectively, one has to actually leave the organized church.

How To Know Your Enemy in Endtimes

How to Know Your Enemy In Endtimes     

  In the perilous, deceptive times in which we live, we  ALL face a serious human dilemma relative to a need for belonging, acceptance and sociability that challenges our commitment to the Lord Jesus Christ and our fulfillment of what He has called us to do.  The truth is that built into the human frame is a  desire to be liked, accepted  as well as approved of. 

 

We  seek to fulfill that innate need through people pleasing.

I watched a movie written and directed by Lawrence Fishburne   that graphically makes my point.  Called “Once In the  Life” with two of my favorite actors—-  Fishburne and Eamonn Walker as the main characters,— these two men  played the part of  the closest of  friends  from “back in the day.” In fact, they  had  developed an intimate alliance from having shared the same prison cell when they had been jailed  for the crimes they had committed   as street hoodlums.  “In the life” is a colloquial phrase  used by pimps and prostitutes, gamblers and those who “do what they do” behind closed doors and in the darkness of night in unsavory places. 

Once these two were released from prison, Fishburne counted on that friendship to his own destruction, for Walker had lied to him and said that he had left the life of dope dealing and crime. In fact, Walker’s character  was sent to kill Fishburne  for a  dope deal gone bad and Fishburne gullibly dropped his defenses, not believing that his best friend would  be the one to kill him.  Walker not only shot Fishburne while they were in an embrace, he poured gasoline all over the hideout and burned it down along with  Fishburne’s dead body.

 The point of the movie is in its title.  “Once IN the life,” there is no getting OUT!  Like the mafia,  life in the underworld is a precarious  place  where even your best friends can  become your worst enemies.  The Lord Jesus Christ has spoken to His elect in like manner:

 

 “AND A MAN’S FOES SHALL BE THEY OF HIS OWN HOUSEHOLD!”         (Matt 10:36)

How does this scripture  play out today among Christians?  What I have discoverd from personal experience is that some who may fundamentally agree with your position and  even your beliefs can still be your  worst enemies because they refuse to face the truth themselves.

Not to waste time is truly an important accomplishment for I must work while it is day, for when my night comes, my work will be over.  Recently a  professing Christian came into my life  that I could have wasted loads of precious time on because “we agreed on ALL of the essentials doctrines. 

We agreed that the age of the organized church is over.   The enemy also sent someone with a confirming sign that I did not buy into.  It was quite an uncanny sign that was suppose to confirm that this particular “friend” was sent by God to assist me in the work that I am called to. Even though I grew to care for this person,  I did not allow my emotion or a need for a friend  to override my commonsense. In this particular case ,  Satan was more clever than I am used to.  With a tongue full of flattery,  and a feigned commitment, this “friend”  appeared to understand my  ministerial work and calling  better than anyone had done in 30 years.  Yet it took less than 3 months for the enemy to be exposed. The Satanic agenda was to bring about   such  disappointment and confusion, as well as  to actually turn others against me by lifting me up—by “selling” me  to others way too  profusely.In fact, my faithful friends were getting turned off  by my “frienemy’s “hard sell” of me to them. Then when the axe of rejection  was suddenly dropped upon me, I was supposed  to become so grieved that I would “give up” the message and become despondent.

 Disappointed, I certainly was. However, the message IN me is as clear and as strong as it ever was. I  remain centered and on task.  For I have long given up the notion that I need anyone but the Holy Ghost to either exalt or abase me.

This is the key.  If you put the truth in the face of those around you without fear of rejection from those you care about, their reaction will expose “what you need to see and to know ABOUT THEM!!!.”  And you will redeem your time WITHOUT INCURRING EMOTIONAL  ABUSE OR SPIRITUAL DAMAGE. 

 Below find the issues  that those who are stuck on being accepted are facing from an anonymous author”

“Saints cannot participate in most of that which is offered by the churches. Participation with the events of most churches (or even the goals and membership requirements) violate their covenant with Jesus. The dilemma of the saints in 2011 is where can they fellowship?

Those who truly hear the Spirit will be grieved. Or like Lot, they will be vexed in their spirits with most of what is offered in the religious buffet served up today. Because of loneliness, some have compromised and re-entered the religious playground. The majority of emails and letters I receive are from those who have been dislodged in various religious circles and have nothing in common with the milieu of today. When they have tried to re-enter the congregations, they do so as spectators who are often looked upon as “outcasts.”

Some, after being awakened, rationalize their desire to stay “churched.” They claim that “God wants me to remain and be a witness.” How can this be? God said “Come ye OUT from among them and be separate.” Besides, I believe very few of them rise up in meetings or elsewhere and declare openly the errors they encounter. 

Reformation simply is Not Going to Happen! Reform of the masses of congregations is not on God’s agenda. It wasn’t in Jesus’ day, nor is it in our own. Nowhere in the New Testament account of Jesus’ ministry is there found one trace of evidence He believed the Temple would experience reform or revival. The same is today! STOP TRYING!”

These are not my words but they certainly COULD BE!

My testimony of how I  overcame authoritarian spiritual abuse is described in Come Out of Her, God’s People.
