The Religious Demon: No Quick Fixes
religion or a deceptive form of spirituality—a form of godliness that denies the power thereof.
Deliverance Mentoring
Deliverance ministry was founded in the early seventies once the book “Pigs in the Parlor” was released by Frank and Ida Hammond. Derek Prince and Peter Wagner were also key players in its development over the last 4 decades. I entered into deliverance in 1983. Here are but a few of the revelations I have received over the years.
I have learned that the demons of today KNOW HOW TO MOCK a deliverance session with the manifestations of coughing, rasping, retching, vomiting—pea soup type stuff as seen in the movie, “the Exorcist.” Much of this is fakery—not on the part of the person in bondage, but the antics of the earthbound demons. Those who “manifest” in this manner are rarely set free. In other words, the demons of today are more sophisticated than the ones faced by Jesus and His apostles. These entities have had centuries “to practice” their craft. So their goal is to make a mockery of “casting out of demons” so as to defy Jesus Christ by making the deliverance worker look like an inept fool.
Earth bound demons can be cast out by faith in the Name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth in 5 minutes. If a deliverance session takes longer than THAT, then
an earth bound demon is NOT involved. It is either a cosmic power—a fallen
angel who is NOT a demon—OR NO DEMON AT ALL.
3. The minister or worker seeking to help another under the captivity of evil
spirits, must be prepared for the deceiving spirits misusing to the captive the
very truth the captive himself desires, and needs for his deliverance. The
enemy will also misrepresent and attempt to discredit the minister seeking to
help the captive to freedom. In other words, if you have a demon—both you and the minister need to be defensively prepared for the fact that the your resistance to the truth that will be revealed through mentoring. Your resistance will be inspired by the very demon who has you in bondage.
Deliverance mentoring is a process wherein the captive and the minister join forces to systematically confront the forces of darkness with TRUTH. In deliverance mentoring, mentees are equipped and taught to understand the intelligent use of the spiritual weapons so as to obtain knowledge of the organized hosts of darkness. As such, the mentee is coached on how to try the spirits by exercising his or her own spiritual vision so that “by reason of use” it becomes acute in discerning the operations of the enemy in the spiritual sphere. I teach ministers in training how to observe and learn by observation and practice—
If you are a captive, it is crucial to your complete recovery to know the methods of the enemy against you, in his war against ALL the people of God.
The Remnant Church of God now needs “leaders” trained in the knowledge
of the enemy’s world-wide campaigns; ministers able to foresee his “wiles,” and
to guide the rank and file of God’s people into winning the aggressive war against him.
At Sheppard’s Counseling Center,
we train ministers to become spiritual leaders=== skilled in the knowledge of the armour, and the weapons of warfare provided in the Word of God, so as to detect any weak places in their use as an intelligent, systematic, aggressive COUNTER-CAMPAIGN AGAINST the enemy of your soul.
The powers of darkness are keenly clever at working with natural problems by simulating natural conditions either in a client’s personality or disturbance of mental or bodily functions. They watch
for some physical, emotional, attitudinal or mental dysfunction to serve as a cover or an explanation of their own workings .Casting demons out without dealing with the root cause of the dysfunction may relieve a client from torment, but the relief is only temporary or the enemy will simply strategize by transferring its activity in another sphere of life. So a person believes that they are healed
when in essence, the enemy has merely shifted his target.
In terms of strategy, demons are skilled at taking two opposing positions. In other words, the enemy will purposefully control both sides of any situation, so that the unsuspecting will assume that since one approach is obviously demonic, the opposing option MUST BE GOD, when both approaches and opinions are demonic. The goal is to control every side of every situation,in order to obscure, deceive and confuse. In this way, the enemy can advance a long-term agenda. Most often, the enemy’s attack is to distract from root causes so as to maintain power and control.
This is why at Pam Sheppard Miinistries, we find the root and pull it up! Ministers for mentoring are available. Call 1-888-818-1117.
CLOSING DEMONIC DOORWAYS PERMANENTLY!
The words of the old prophet Hosea ring true. The Lord’s people are definitely destroyed fora lack of knowledge. With deliverance counseling, demons will often leave on its own accord once they realize that through deliverance counseling, you have been armed with spiritual truth. They leave because they sense that your faith has increased to stand against them. In other cases, demons have been hidden within a person’s personality for so long, that the Holy Spirit will set up a situation so that the demons will be exposed and come out of hiding.
At Sheppard’s Counseling Center, we have been contacted by people from around the country who have sought us to conduct a deliverance. We have cast out demons from someone on another continent by telephone. What you need to know is that Jesus Christ IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD!For example, He stood with one foot in Australia and One foot in our little town in the USA! He is bigger than life. He IS life!!! His Name is Above Every Name.
The demons not only bowed but they came out peaceably without much struggle and the captive has been gloriously set free!!
If you as a steadfast believer do ALL the work that shall be assigned to you, if you bite the bullet and withstand the test by fighting your feelings, learning how to cope with a straightfoward style, believe me—NO ONE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WILL HAVE TO TRAVEL TO NEW YORK FOR A DELIVERANCE SESSION, BECAUSE JESUS IS LORD OVER THE TELEPHONE!!!!! YOU TOO CAN BE COMPLETELY SET FREE!!!!
PRE AND POST DELIVERANCE MENTORING
Coaching and training before and after deliverance is extremely important. Both of these forms of counseling will be conducted by a combination of private fb groups, Skype, email and telephone. Be advised that we will not conduct a deliverance upon anyone without a commitment to pre-deliverance MENTORING. Post deliverance MENTORING is highly recommended to maintain a lasting and continued freedom.
You may need deliverance if the following applies to YOU:
You have been held captive and brought under the power of spiritual entities that have caused you to lose your God given self control. Even when drug free and not physically addicted, a captive is controlled by an obsessive and compulsive mind that will relive his
addictive/compulsive behavior in his thoughts, keeping alive the experience with the help of memory cells in his body that create physical and mental cravings. Satan and his demons are the unseen forces that send messages to an unsuspecting mind.
You have assumed that your thoughts and feelings are your own but they are not.The enemy has been projecting thoughts into your mind. You may have experienced powerful urges in your flesh. Demons choose the weakest time and place to attack, and since your impulsive and compulsive behavior is predictable, it is a simple matter for demons to attract, lure and trap a person into addictive/obsessive/compulsive behavior.
The following moments, circumstances and or places of weakness may have acted as doorways to demonic influence that led to your captivity and/or a need for deliverance:
|
A family and or personal background in the occult or false religions. |
|
False religions include those that are assumed to be Christian. |
|
These so called Christian religions include Catholicism, Jehovah Witness, Christian Science and the Latter Day Saints. (Mormons) |
|
Family or personal involvement with the occult or any form of witchcraft. |
|
The occult also includes a family or personal background in freemasonry. |
|
Pressures in early childhood, including but not limited to physical or sexual abuse. |
|
Other negative family issues include rejection and sibling rivalrry. |
|
Sinful Acts or Habits, including but not limited to the breaking of the 10 Commandments. |
|
Addictions of all kinds. |
|
You said the sinner’s prayer and asked “Jesus” to come into your heart.Therefore, you have a false conversion which I call “a counterfeit birth.” |

Deliverance is not just about casting out demons. It is learning how you opened the demonic doorway and how to keep it closed. Help is available around the world by phone. www.pamsheppard.com/online_ministers_available Interested in deliverance training? Visit www.pamsheppard.com/sign_up_now
HOW TO TAKE BACK YOUR PEACE!
According to Hebrews 4, entering the Lord’s rest is labor or in other words “work.”
Yet, the irony is that we enter in by “ceasing from our own works.” I believe that we struggle or “labor” to enter in for one main reason. The enemy knows that in order to keep us defeated, he has to block our way by stealing both our joy, peace and our rest. So strategically, demonic entities have designed three main styles of deception. Demons revel in depression, oppression and vexation of spirit because these three (3) emotional conditions are open doors to relapse during the restoration process.
.
Depression is spiritually nurtured by a poor sense of esteem, dissatisfaction, and alienation—each rooted in a lack of patience. Evil spirits thrive on the three “d’s” of doubt, disappointment and despair to lower our physical energy and vitality. Their method is to entangle weeds of negative thoughts, emotions and attitudes into a stronghold or spiritual underground root system that develops into a solid fortress or base of operation from which demons can function unhindered.
Condemnation and accusations are central to the guilt experienced by the depressed.y to rest and peace. Oppression brings a sense of being smothered or weighed down with the burdens of a troubled, problematic life. In such cases, the demon assigned to oppress you is by metaphor a “monkey on the back”, hovering around and pressing you down with a persistent attack, until your spiritual back breaks and you fall or “relapse”. At times sudden and shocking, the demon will apply a steady and relentless attack with persecution and disarming calamities of all sorts.
Vexation of spirit ALSO takes several forms. Restlessness can lead to a feeling of annoyance or irritability. In this regard, evil spirits will employ sequentially ordered petty harassments to
cause worry and a disquieted state, akin to mild or even acute stages of paranoia. In the mental realm, vexation also brings confusion and disorientation. The demonic weapons of choice are fear and intimidation. Demons will use others close to us to create situations that incite our emotions. The
agitation we feel may become so intense that we might literally react compulsively and consequently lose control.
Attempting to control ourselves with human will power alone is an exhausting struggle that Satan will ultimately win. We need to humble ourselves to the fact that human will power cannot outlast Satan’s power. However, when we are able to rest in Christ by ceasing from our own works, the Holy Spirit empowers our spirits with strength that exceeds the capacity of our will. Ceasing from our own works will enable us to walk in the spirit and not fulfill the lust of our flesh without much effort because we have sought the kingdom and found righteousness.
The evil spirit’s goal is to take advantage of and condemn us for what we have been trained to perceive as past failures, coupled with worry and fear over the consequences we may face for our actions, causing us to cry over spilt milk. The demons are skilled at maneuvering the perceived failures to motivate a setback. Deliverance counseling can help you to place the past on the dung heap and press forward to the victory that truth brings.
However, when we are ignorant of Satanic devices, evil spirits can and DO repetitively and consistently employ the same strategies to defeat us, over and over again=== simply because we are ignorant to the fact that whatever failures and mistakes used by the devil to destroy us, God uses it ALL to employ us!”
A perceived failure is just another opportunity to struggle to “enter into His rest.” Once you’ve entered, the struggle is over! Satan won’t completely give up on you. However, once you become an overcomer,
you will find the enemy consistently “on the run.”

Revelation 18:4 WHO IS SHE?
Jesus warned in Revelation 18:4 “COME OUT OF HER, MY PEOPLE.” After the fall of the World Trade Center on 9/11/01, I thought that Revelation Ch: 18 was fulfilled right before my eyes for several reasons. However, one fact caused me to know that the dust fallout in NYC and the fall of “world trade” were not the complete fulfillment of this chapter. Why? Because the World Trade Center may be rebuilt. The scripture clearly states that when Babylon Falls, there will be no rebuilding of her. Yet as did others, I presumed that either NYC or on a larger scale, America is Mystery Babylon.
I began to tell people to come out of my home town, the Big Apple while others were shouting, “Leave America.” A small exodus has occurred on both fronts: with NYC dwellers moving either upstate or out of state and others, fleeing the US have taken refuge in Canada.Some prophets are saying that the remnant in this country are going to fly away to the Carribean when things get really dangerous here.
After a few years, I realized that NYC is not Babylon. Could it be America? Perhaps.Yet if we left NYC or America, where in the world shall we go, even if we had enough money to get there!!! The Carribean has too many hurricanes! So I don’t think that Jesus would warn us to do something that was not possible for ALL of His elect to do.
There are many reasons why I believe that besides the political and economic systems, the organized church is a part of the world. Yet, I center on ONE reason. Since the job of the organized church around the world is to tend the sheep, failing to feed the sheep truth by sound doctrine is a serious
matter. No one can deny that the entire church system is “heeding seducing spirits and spreading doctrines of devils.” (I Tim 4:1-4)
today. So as Jesus warned, you need to obey Him: “Come Out of Her, My People, lest ye be partakers of Her sins, lest ye receive of Her plagues.”

“I Never KNEW YOU???
What did Jesus mean by those four somber words?
After more than two decades, I believe that I now understand why Jesus made such a strange statement, as recorded in Matthew 7: 22, 23:
“Many will say to me IN THAT DAY, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? And in thy name have cast out devils? And in thy name have done many wonderful works?”
And then I will profess unto them,
I NEVER KNEW YOU!
Wow! Now that is deep. It seems from this scripture that these servants were both faithful, committed and sincere so it seems impossible that Jesus would then say, “Depart from me, you workers of iniquity.” How could anyone who prophecies in His name be in iniquity? And how could anyone casting out devils in His name be in iniquity?
Well, the picture on the book cover provides a clue. Jesus did not know them because there are people who have been faithfully serving “another Jesus.” In my research for my 4th book entitled “The Fake Jesus,” I discovered that among occultists and New Agers, there is a being called “an ascended master” who calls himself “Jesus Sananda Immanuel.” This “being” first presented himself to the USA in the 50’s. He claimed then that he was an alien. A fallen angel, Sananda has boasted that he cleverly infiltrated the organized church by inspiring church leaders to accept the picture above on church walls, statues, books, etc.
Therefore, I suggest to you that there are people who “prophesy” and who “cast out devils,” in the name of Jesus, but it is not in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth but unknowingly to them, they are really working for the imposter, Jesus Sananda Immanuel, the imposter.
I suspect that you will agree that anyone whom Jesus NEVER knew is damned, or in other words “not saved.” So how is it that unsaved people are able to prophecy and even cast out devils?
Good question.

HOW SATAN USES FALSE ASSUMPTIONS AND CONFIRMATION
The enemy really designs his deception based upon his knowledge of us. The secret desires of our hearts and our assumptions provide religious demons with both the blueprint and the building blocks of the grand deception that fuels the enemy’s overall plan. The plan begins as a kind of conspiracy theory which answers the questions , “what makes him or her tick? And if I do THIS, then will he or she do THAT?” What the religious demon has to do is to find a way to “guide our steps.” There is no greater thrill than for a religious demon to manipulate and control a child of God and cause that person to become both his prey and his captive.
So I believe that we overcome by first knowing ourselves. When you know yourself better than the enemy knows YOU, then you are on your way to victory. For example, if you are an achiever, your desire to succeed CAN BE a key contact point on the blueprint and the religious demon will begin to “build the plan.”
Consider the movie “the Devil’s Advocate.” An advocate is a lawyer, and Keanu Reeves, “the advocate” was a lawyer in the movie, as was the devil, played by Al Pacino. The devil’s plan to guide the steps of his advocate began with setting Reeves up to win every case as a defense attorney. By doing so, Pacino
said to himself, if I cause Reeves to win every case, will he to literally do “anything” to win when it appears that he may lose his first case? Will he neglect a sick wife? Will he ignore his mother’s warnings? Will he even cheat to win? Will he hide evidence?
In the movie, the devil had been watching the advocate from the time he was born, and he wanted to see if he knew Reeves better than the advocate knew himself. Just in case the advocate had any surprises in his back pocket, the devil had a back up plan. His first plan was to cause Reeves to risk
everything in order NOT TO LOSE A CASE. And when that didn’t work, Pacino’s final plan was even better. What was the foundation of the entire devil’s conspiracy? It was the vanity of the advocate relative to his desire to always succeed and excell.
Vanity was the advocate’s Achilles heal. Where Reeves went wrong was in his assumptions. He assumed that he was winning each and every case because of his skill, when in reality, the devil was helping him to win.
So point number one in trying the spirits is this: When you go wrong in your assumptions, you have given place to the devil.
What is an assumption?
An assumption is taking for granted that a particular supposition, fact or circumstance is true. It is prematurely accepting as truth, what is merely an hypothesis or a guess. For example, when I reflect upon my very first assumption as a Christian, I “assumed” that because I had power in my hands to heal, that:
1. the healing power was from God;
2. that God was calling me to minister healing.
It took about 25 years for me to find out that “the healing power that I had was NOT from God.” So logically speaking, if the the power was not from God, and if it was not from ME, then it must have come from the enemy. If the power came from the enemy, then what was his agenda in giving me the power?
When I “tried the spirits” on this matter, I realized that I had first manifested healing power while I was a new age occultist. When I became a Christian and I saw in the bible that Jesus is a Healer, I just “assumed” that since I was now “born again,” I could simply transition occult healing into my
Christian work for God. WRONG!!! Along this same train of thought, we “assume” that because what we are doing is similar to what the early apostles did, that we are doing “the same thing.” It ain’t necessarily so.
With every Christian, the enemy assigned to you is going to “set you up” to be disappointed in God, so that eventually, you will be so frustrated with failure, that you will throw your spiritual hands up in the air and declare, “I’m done with this.” This was the intent of the healing power I operated in. The religious devil’s motive was to frustrate me when those I laid hands on did not “keep” their healing. This works also in the opposite direction. If the sick keeps the healing, then “the healer” will assume that he is operating off of divine power, when he is not.
Consequently, the devil remains in control and can exercise authority in the healer’s life whenever he sees fit.
Assumptions are constantly made by Christians who believe that “the 3 witnesses rule” is an indication
that a sign, wonder, message or circumstance is “a confirmation” from God.Confirmation! Its a twelve letter dirty word that covers a wide field of consideration! In fact, Satan and his crew get many chuckles out of this one.
There are so many varieties of “confirmations” that it is hard to present one representative example, so I’ll have to make one up. You had a dream that you should move to Georgia. Or perhaps someone from your church prophesied over you—“God has called you to minister in Georgia.” The same day, you heard Ray Charles sing, “Georgia on my mind.” Then someone called you on the telephone from Georgia, but it was a wrong number. In the afternoon, a friend stopped by and gave you some peaches. Georgia peaches.
“So there it is” you say to yourself. I got 3 signs or witnesses that provide “confirmation” to my dream or prophetic word. God wants me to move to Georgia.
I use such a ridiculous example to highlight what foolish believers do constantly.
The”confirmation” thing is nothing but an assumption, not based on fact, not based on truth. When God sends a message, He does not have to confirm it. He may, or He may not. Here is an instance in my life where God supernaturally “showed and proved.”
I had recently divorced my last husband because his drug addiction became unbearable. However, I still loved him very much so I was vulnerable to him if he attempted to reconcile. I thought, “since he had not cheated on me since we were married, perhaps I should not have divorced him.”
One morning, I dreamt I saw a mudslide. My husband jumped into it. When he got up, a woman was hidden underneath him—in the mud.
As I lay there, considering the meaning of the dream, the phone rang. It was my ex. He wanted to reconcile. I listened but I was quiet, remembering the dream I had just 5 minutes before the call.
I got up out of my bed, and walked into a room that had once been his den. Laying in the middle of the floor, in a room that I had cleaned several times was an application for credit, made out by my ex. What I noticed was that he used a different address and phone number on the application. So I dialed the number. A woman answered. I asked “Can I speak to Rich?” She replied, “He is not here right now. Who is this?” I said “his wife..”
The woman went berserk. She screamed “you are not his wife. You have divorced him. I have been his woman for the last 3 years. So you need to go about your business and leave him alone because Rich is MINE!!!”
So when I try the spirits, this was rather supernatural. It all occurred within the space of 20 minutes. Something appeared on my floor that was not there for two months!!!! I dreamed about the hidden woman, “under the mud” of my ex’s secret life 5 minutes before his call.
Was this the devil trying to get me to go over there and shoot somebody and end up in jail? For I also had her address.
Not THIS time! lol. Both God and the devil know that I am too wise and too much in control of my emotions to fall for THAT one. The Lord simply provided me with the hidden information that I needed to stop punishing myself for divorcing an adulterer and for NOT TAKING HIM BACK!!!! I had every
right to divorce him.
At times, God WILL confirm. When he does, it will not be an assumption. IT WILL BE FACT AND TRUTH THAT SETS YOU FREE.
Take it from one who knows. Most confirmation comes from the devil.
Here is another personal experience. I may have used this real life example before, but it bares repeating because it clarifies my point. In 1979, I had a dream that I saw a
minister standing on my church’s steps, with a robe across his arm. He looked at me and said, “Girl, I’m gonna marry You!” In the dream, he was wearing a navy blue suit purchased from Sears and a pair of navy blue swede shoes.
Two weeks later, on a Sunday morning, “a force” was trying to stop me from going to
church. I “assumed” it was the devil. So I persevered and went out of the door,
walking to church. Looking back today, I realize that it was God who tried to
stop me from going, or at least an angel sent from God.
When I arrived, the new visiting pastor was at the church, robed and wearing a navy blue suit and blue swede shoes. I was sitting in the congregation and he set his eyes on
me from the pulpit chair. Later that evening, my pastor called, claiming that the visiting pastor wanted to meet me. When we met he said “Girl, I’m gonna marry you cause you sooooo pretty!” I asked, where did you buy your suit? He said “Sears and Roebuck.”
Plenty of confirmation here!.
Without the dream and all of this “confirmation”, I would never have given this man a second glance. He was simply not my type. So because of all of this “confirmation,” I assumed “this must be God.” To make a long story short, it was not. This minister was one of the worst men to ever enter into my life. He was a Satanic setup for things that could have literally “taken me down and out!.”
So when you have circumstances occur that are similar, with all kinds of confirmation, a try the spirits tip is this—- ,
Run like a bat let out of hell. Its the devil.
The excuses that we make to explain why we find ourselves under demonic attack are another form of an assumption. My meaning is better explained by illustration. I founded a church with a name that I discovered more than a decade later, was given to me by a religious demon. My kind of vanity was that I “assumed” that because the Denomination I was ordained in was defiled, that my ministry was clean. You need to know that just because your opposition may be wrong, that doesn’t make you RIGHT!!! I was unaware of
this truth, so I “assumed” that the church that I founded was superior to any of the churches in the Denomination.
So when my church and I came under a persistent attach from all sides, I assumed, “we must be doing great things and the devil is angry.” So the attack caused someone with a personality type like mine to brace myself and hold on to my church and ministry with an even stronger grip. Little did I know that “this was the motive for the attack—that I would hold on to what God wanted me to let go of, as long as I assumed that I was doing God a service.
Usually when demons bombard you with frequent attacks, they are already in control. They simply want you to assume that you have a fighting chance. According to Jessie Penn Lewis, “They attack a person because they are in possession, but make him think and believe it to be an indirect attack, ie. through another person. The blame is placed on the man himself or someone else, or on anything but the true cause, so that the intruder may not be discovered and expelled. It is therefore important that all ‘excuses’ should be examined, i.e., the ‘reasons’ for such and such an unexplainable
manifestation.
The causes should always be gone into, for by believing a wrong interpretation of the manifestation, more ground is given to the lying spirits. The believer may be refusing ground on the one hand, and giving new ground on the other, unless he examines all the suggestions which come to his mind
concerning his condition.” (War on the Saints, pg. 176)
This is what the enemy is looking for when he takes advantage of the assumptions you make. He is looking for “new ground” to continue to deceive and control you. Those who are most vulnerable are those who love their ministry more than they love Jesus Himself. Anyone who has a ministry should not assume that it was God who gave it to you. So go back to what was going on in your life when you assumed that God called you into ministry.
Since I have “been there and done that,” it is easy for me to recognize those who are themselves possessed by a ministry that they assume God gave to them. I can recognize an obsessed worker, one who is consumed with either revival, deliverance, setting captives free, healing, even saving souls, which no one does but God.
Those who are obsessed by “their” ministries are blind to their condition. Certainly, helping others, giving of your time, teaching and preaching, and un-deceiving the deceived are all rightful things. Nevertheless, very often, the enemy uses ministry as a distraction to the worker’s own need of deliverance from the enemy’s deception.
If you put yourself into the hands of workers like these, you will be subject to both their confusion and their contraditions. Such workers will seem strong, yet they are weak, loving but they are really stoical and distant. Why? Because they are un-trusting and afraid of every dark shadow. Remember. The
Lord’s yoke is easy and His burden is light.
Anytime you assume that God can’t do His work without YOU, you are in the devil’s hands.
To better “know your enemy,” SEW deliverance training may be for YOU!

ORBS IN THE CHURCH

My First Encounter with an Orb by Pam Sheppard
I don’t know when and how I knew that these round circles with lots of dots in them are what occultists call “orbs.” When I looked at the photo of the church in Denmark, I could see the same image, 20 or more times over. (See the first 2 photos below) The pastor labeled the orb on my storefront church with the word “angel”.
The pastor’s email was rather interesting because of its timeliness. I had begun to suspect that demons were in my church as I saw some demonic faces peering at me behind the floral arrangement in front of the window, and also behind the altar. When I received the email, I was planning to move the church out of the storefront, not just for that reason but for several others that need not be mentioned at this juncture.
Anyway, I certainly did not believe that this was an angel. On the contrary, I suspected that it must be a demon based upon what I perceived occurring in my church. Since we moved a few months later, I didn’t dwell on “the image.” So I forgot about it until recently.
SO WHAT IS AN ORB?
According to photographers, researchers, scientists and New Agers, an orb is a luminous
circle of light that can be photographed, taken with or without a flash camera. They range in size from tiny to an average of two to 5 inches in diameter. Various websites connect the orbs to aliens and ghosts, while the Christian pastor in Denmark believes that the orbs are “angels.”
Researchers and professional photographers indicate that the orbs are not lens flares, nor are they dust or pollen particles in the air. The strange part is that orbs have predominately been photographed and even seen with the naked eye at occult conferences, in graveyards, masonic lodges and caves.
So my question is, “why are orbs now showing up in photographs taken in churches?”
Skeptics reason that the orbs appear in high places and that may have something to do with the camera. Not so. My storefront church has low ceilings yet there is an orb that manifested on the film. Some say that they are only visible at night in dark places. Yet, the picture of the storefront church was taken in the daytime. Below are some other pictures of orbs taken in a masonic lodge, and other religious settings. I have in my possession, several more pictures—some taken at the Notre Dame Cathedral, another in a cemetery and some in caves, and other “spiritual” buildings.
Here is the picture taken in the storefront.
The picture below is the pastor’s church in Denmark. There are at least 20
or more orbs in this photo.
I also have a picture packed away in a huge box that were taken in the denomination I was ordained in. On the photo, are orbs but these are orbs with faces in them They remind me of the cartoon, “Casper the Friendly Ghost,” only their mouths are in a scornful, mocking grimace. Here are a few more pictures of orbs taken in “spiritual” places:
So, what do I think this all means as it relates to the organized, institutional church?
I was born again at home in 1977, never having attended a church a day in my life. In 1979, I received 3 dreams that guided me to a particular church—messages that I “assumed” were from God. Four year later, I was called out of that church, and then again in 2003. The first time I was called out was in October 1983. I was at a Kenneth Copeland Believer’s Convention held in Atlanta.
Asleep in my hotel room, I was awakened by a bellowing, booming voice that sounded like mighty waters, loud trumpets, and thunder ALL AT ONCE. I jumped out of the bed and hit the floor where I bowed down on my knees. The voice of thunder only said 3 words: COME OUT, SEPARATE. Must have said it 20 times or more.
I came out of the church a few weeks later, but I went back to the same Denomination in 1987, where I caught un-holy hell for the next 17 years until God stepped in and led me out in 2004. I waited for 2 years for the Lord to lead me to affiliate with a different church system. Not only did He not do so, but when He spoke again, the Lord compared the church to “a condemned building.” He has also revealed that “He NEVER sent me to the Denomination in the first place and that the 3 dreams that led me there “WERE NOT FROM HIM.”
Once I was out, I thought to “go back for a visit.” The Lord spoke again, this time asking me a 4 letter question that brought the fear of the Lord upon me. He asked, “Are YOU Lot’s wife?”
After hearing that question, I won’t even step inside of a church building for a wedding or a funeral. By nature, I am a balanced, rational, non-obsessive personality. However, regarding entering church buildings, I am adamant to the right side of obsession. I don’t tell others what to do or not to do. I just take care of ME and I keep Lot’s wife ever before me in my conscious and unconscious mind. When a close relative died 6 years ago, I walked into the church building, looked at the body for less than a minute and I walked out—very, very fast. I sat in the car until the funeral was over.
This is me.
As such, I don’t attempt to cause others to be as adamant as I am about this point. I pastor and mentor members of my online fellowship called RESCUE. On occasion, I make contact with people who agree with me on most points yet they admit that they see nothing wrong with going to church, and I do not contend with them about this issue.
Recently, one of my clients stated that “her church was different.” I simply advised her to “go and take some pictures.” She did. Here is the photograph of her church. It is filled with orbs. The biggest one is on the far right of the stage.
Without any advice from me, the Lord led this woman out of this dwelling place of demons called a church, once she saw the orbs.” Once she saw the orbs, she was convinced.
So what do I believe is happening??? I suspect that the fact that orbs are now manifesting in churches is a sign that devils and demons have taken over ALL Christian pulpits. Church buildings are like haunted houses—filled not with ghosts but with evil spirits.
Certainly, demons have been attracted to churches for centuries and so that is no surprise. Moreover, doctrines of demons are many. However, I believe that demons literally “took over” when the church began to preach an “I accept Jesus” doctrine, taking salvation out of the hands of God and putting eternal life into the hands of man. This is the reason why ALL churches are affected, in every nation of this world. A few centuries ago, a New York preacher, Charles Finney allowed the demons to use him to bring “a new gospel” into all churches.” If you have ever said, “I accepted Jesus,” you too have been affected.” None are exempt. I was because the gospel was not preached to me in church or by anyone who goes to church.
So if you think that your church is the exception, I suggest to you that the next time you enter the building,
“TAKE SOME PICTURES!!!!”

THE ENEMY AND DELIVERANCE MINISTRY
The bible warns us to “be not many masters, for ours is the greater condemnation.” In other words, “Don’t rush in where fools ought not to tred.” Or “something like that.’ At least, take heed of the worldly proverb which says, “don’t bite off more than you can chew or else you will choke,” if you get my drift. The bible also reveals through the prophet David, that man was made “lower than the angels.”Oh, he got THAT right.”
Only ONE human being—the God/man of the universe— has
power over angels, both divine ones and evil ones. His name is Jesus Christ of Nazareth. When we have faith in Him, then when we confront devils, they must obey us,—not because of US—but because of Him!!! So I warn the so-called “Army of God,” the Dominionists, the Manifest Sons of God, the army of the locusts or “The New Breed,”—by whatever
handle they are using at the moment. If you are out of step with the Lord, then don’t expect that the Holy Ghost will protect you from Satan’s army. Since the major belief among you is that as a special “Superman type” you are going to overcome the devil, just know that Satan is laughing at you. When the enemy comes out against you, without the backup of the Holy Ghost, hopefully you will NOT be dealt with more harshly than were the sons of Sceva.
Until you’ve been standing “toe to toe” with the enemy, you haven’t a clue of what devils and demons can do to you. After 30 years in ministry—25 of those years in deliverance—, I speak from experience. When God finally “un-deceived” me, He politely informed me that “He didn’t call me into deliverance ministry.”
So since I knew that I didn’t “call myself,” THERE WAS ONLY ONE OTHER CHOICE. I didn’t have to be a Rocket Scientist to figure out that “the devil called me into deliverance ministry.” Simple
logic told me that if the devil called me into deliverance ministry, then “the enemy is in FULL control, the author and the finisher of it.”
I have had many “encounters” with the enemy in what is called “deliverance ministry.” I have watched all of the pre-staged shows, the “charades,” and even the circuses, where demons play games and cough,vomit,convulse, whine, growl, talk, roll, prophecy, and hiss like snakes. The foolish then believe
that because “demons manifested,” the captive is now free. WRONG! I have stood flabberghasted, as a demon picked up a crippled person OUT OF A WHEELCHAIR—a professing Christian who never walked—and mobilized her to walk down a long aisle toward me in what I call “the Frankenstein
stroll”, screaming the F word, bellowing in a Dracula-type voice, blaspheming and trying to hit one of those present in the head with a bible.
The reality is that casting out demons is just the beginning of freedom. Complete freedom can only be obtained when a captive is able to receive the total truth about self, God and the ways of the enemy that trapped him or her off in the first place.
Demons are like actors who far excel over the master Houdini’s of this world. They can imitate any human voice, appear in a mirage as any human being, and they communicate with each other
telepathically!!! Whatever you see with your human or even your spiritual eye is “not what you see!!!” Like movie stars, they like to put on a show. They particularly like to mock Christians. So be careful, New Breed! Even your “generals” like Todd Bentley haven’t a clue. You can not “take back what the enemy has stolen,” because the enemy has stolen YOU!” That’s right! Joel’s Army is working for Satan! Get a grip, people!!! Come out from under Satan by resisting pride. Humble yourself under the might hand of God and admit that you are in gross error.
Once I got wise and realized that the enemy is in control of deliverance ministry and any movement that uses the term “spiritual warfare,” I put on the breaks.
First, I reclaimed my commonsense and learned how to try the spirits. Throughout, I stayed at the cross of Calvary! I resisted personal pride by allowing the Holy Ghost to break me. Therefore, I lost all ambition to be anyone special. It just LEFT!!! Nothing IN me desires to be a part of Joel’s army as I have been stripped of personal ambition. I no longer seek the help of mega preachers to mentor or embrace my ministry. In fact, I no longer have “a ministry.” I no longer stand behind any pulpits nor do I answer to any man’s authority. Even though man has ordained me and I remain in good standing with my credentials, I no longer submit myself to the approval of men. I will not be
called, “pastor” any longer, or “Rev” any longer. When people call me by those titles, with tact, I correct them.
I have ONE General. Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
I walk by faith and not by supernatural signs and wonders. One of my practices is to quickly admit when I am wrong. I not only acknowledge my error without rancor, but I also make immediate changes. When, after 25 years, God said to me, ” If you stay in that denomination, I will not
be able to use you. But let them put you out,” I did just that and in 9 months, I was “outta there!” When I found error in one of my 6 books, I tried to immediately take it off of the market. When that failed, I no longer market it. When the Lord revealed that the enemy had taken over my church, I shut down a church that I loved—one that I had founded 12 years previously. Whatever God shows me, I DO ACCORDINGLY– once I have tried the spirits and I am assured that it is HIM.
As a result, God has been impressed with my meekness and my obedience. Realizing
how truly powerless I actually am, I am constantly shocked when the Lord honors my prayers. As I write this, I perceive that I have entered into the secret place of the Most High and that I abide in His shadow. I stay in His shadow, because, unlike “the New Breed,” I know full well that the devil is exceedingly more powerful than me, in my own strength. I also realize that “this is the enemy’s hour,” given to Him by God Himself. So I understand my boundaries. I don’t fret, fear, nor am I sad, nor do I say things, like, “Oh, my heart hurts so bad for God’s people.” I just keep ready and alert for the moment when I perceive that ONE of God’s people has been prepared to be “un-deceived.” Then I do what “God has called me to do.”
Therefore, the Lord’s burden is light to me. As one who continues to cast out devils, I no longer struggle with them—not even for 5 minutes— once I have uncovered their presence! I simply give the command and the Holy Ghost backs me up. Since I have humbled myself and perceived that in truth, I am nothing where the power of the enemy is concerned, demons cannot stand before me when the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is in my mouth. I have real faith in His Name. You cannot have faith in His name if you don’t live a life of repentance or if you don’t understand His bodily resurrection.

GOD’S WAKE UP CALL
A part of living in the endtimes is to hear and recognize the “wake-up”call. God sends out different kinds of alarms. The alarm that every humanbeing is hearing right now is an environmental alarm. None of us in any part of the world could have slept through the recent earthquake alarm that sounded as aresult of the devastation in Japan. We are all thinking, “how can I prepare myself for something like this happening in MY backyard?!”
So we start buying generators, stocking up food, buying Iodine drops and buying water filters.
I believe that making preparations is good commonsense. However, if we too are struck with a huge tsunami, most stockpiles will be buried under fallen
buildings or washed into the sea by tidal waves.
Then there are “the spiritual alarms” that come upon individuals. As a deliverance counselor, what I have seen God do is release demons of torment upon the deceived, in order to wake them up to the reality that something is most definitely wrong with their “religion.” This is how it works. You attend
church every time the doors are opened. You are tithing your gross income, giving additional offerings and donations, and so you are expecting a financial harvest—the 100 fold return blessing that prosperity preachers have assured you that you will receive for your giving. Yet, you are in the worst financial shape that you have ever been in. The more you give, the less you have, and that’s a fact.
But you keep waiting and you keep lying to yourself and to
others everytime you say “I’m blessed.” Then your car breaks down, your house burns down and you have no insurance. You let your insurance laps in order to
give toward the church’s building fund. Out of nowhere, you are homeless. Youcry, “why Lord, why?” His response?
There are other wake up calls. In my book, “the New Idolatry,” I quote the
late Watchman Nee:
shown to have been so invaded!” (The Spiritual Man 1968)
Therefore, if you are a child of God, and you have been ‘invaded,’ what you need to know is that the enemy could not invade you without your cooperation. And if you have unknowingly been cooperative with the enemy , then God allowed a demon to invade you “for your good.” Once you receive the message of the wake up call, you will be set free.
