Satan’s End-time Agenda
We are living in a time when just about everybody in the world has a sense that we are at or near the end of the world as we know it. Do we do nothing, and just wait for the bomb to fall? No, we do as the Lord said: watch, wait and prepare for various events must transpire before He returns to earth.

The Institutional Church in End-times
This course provides a very simple narrative of a very complicated institution, the organized church.

False Conversions
A false conversion is presented as fulfilling the bible’s reference to the great falling away. This course will not only define what a false conversion is, but it also explains how and why it manifests. The participant will come to understand the reason why producing a false conversion is the number one objective of a religious demon aka the spirit of the antichrist. Topics addressed are doctrines and practices that serve to create a false conversion, like the invitation, the altar call, the sinner’s prayer, easy believism, the decisional gospel, works versus grace. The element of a true born again experience are also addressed through teachings on the 3 R’: repentance, resurrection, both of which produces rebirth.

Witchcraft: A Work of the Flesh
By Pastor Pam Sheppard

Be Prepared In End-Times
Certainly there are wide variations in our interpretation of the sequence of end-time events. Nevertheless, we are all agreed that the kingdoms of this world shall one day become the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and that He shall reign forever. (Rev 11:15) In Matthew 25, the marriage of the Lamb is brought into view, and the Lamb’s wife has “made herself ready.” The foolish virgins were NOT ready and the Lord said to them “I do not know you.”
How could the Lord not know the foolish virgins? Obviously, they had false conversions.
Just as the bride and the bridegroom will be joined, so too shall the those who have religion without Christ shall be judged. The woman in scripture is the personification not only of the true church, but also, the harlot. This parable is unique in that for the Lord to close the door on the ill prepared seems harsh. Yet, it must be that the 5 foolish virgins are symbolic of the apostate church, filled with believers who assume they are born again but they are not.
The time to prepare is NOW. Rescue Fellowship has oil for your lamps. So let us hear from you. Either fill out the contact form or call 1-888-818-1117.
Blood in the Water: Temptations Not Common To Man
The bible warns that the conditions at the end of the age will “wax worse and worse” men deceiving and being deceived.(2 Timothy 3:13) and many children of God will be deceived, possibly destroyed, because of a lack of discernment, becoming unconscious vessels for the enemy to use in the DAY of his power. (Matthew 24:10). Therefore, it is mandated that every true believer must be prepared to stand alone in order to emerge as an overcomer. To be prepared means that you have been trained in peace time but most often, while you are actually in the battle.
Unfortunately, we are not prepared for what is happening among this generation’s religious people. Whether in church or absent from Her, Satan is pulling out all his last stops including spirit rape, voices, intrusive blasphemous thoughts and horrifying visions to let religious folk know, that he is in control of them. And he is.
How did the devil obtain this kind of power when the bible reports that the Lord Jesus Christ has defeated him? Simply put, the spiritually undernourished have been eating fast spiritual foods leading to the expectation that quick religious fixes and fantasies will pull them through to victory. What is neither understood or considered is that we who will overcome must try the spirits NOW. We must not believe every spirit. The spirit that is not of God is Anti-Christ. So if you are hearing blasphemous thoughts about the Lord Jesus, or if entities or spirits are having sex with you to satisfy their need for spiritual worship, if you are having evil visions that cause shame and guilt , you have been taken over by Satan as the Accuser of the brethren and the spirit of the Anti-Christ.
In order to overcome the spirit of the Antichrist who is now quite active in our present world, everything and everyone must be tested, including yourself. How is this test implemented? First of all, , check to see if you have been consistently eating junk food. Also, examine where you stand relative to the gospel of Jesus Christ of Nazareth: sin, the cross, the death, burial, resurrection and the return of the Lord. Do you understand repentance? Did you experience godly sorrow as led by the Holy Spirit and not by the needs of your own flesh for grief, self-accusation, and self-induced shame? Did the Holy Spirit call you to the cross or did you just ask Jesus to come into your heart because you were afraid of going to hell? Are you expecting a pre-tribulation rapture and therefore you are not preparing for His coming? Do you believe you are born again yet you still have not been able to control sinful behavior? Do you believe that church attendance and loyalty will save you?
The answers to these questions will reveal whether or not you have been eating fast foods, and relying on quick fixes, fantasizing that you are blessed when in fact, you may be cursed.
Let us face it!. WE ARE IN A WAR. A SPIRITUAL WAR! if you are in agreement with the
spirit of the world and the spirit of the Antichrist, you are a weak vessel, not a soldier, one who is actually food for Satan. He smells your blood in the water and you are the prey of the mighty. He will tempt you with illusions in the spirit that are not common to man and he does not play fair. However, those of us called to Calvary have been given weapons for warfare that we are to use and become proficient in their use by experience, developing our faith by trial and sometimes by error.
A part of that warfare is to recognize the spies and overcome them BEFORE the Lord returns. We are in a conflict with the Antichrist and his army NOW. Consider perhaps the very near future as outlined in Revelation 17. In this chapter, Christ is carrying out terrible things on His enemies who “war against the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, for He is the Lord of lords and the King of kings, and they also shall overcome who are with Him, called and chosen, and faithful.”
I want to be in this number. You should want it also.
We shall judge and rule with Christ, at least those of us who overcome. Those who have died in Christ already have escaped the kind of uncommon supernatural trials and tests Satan will throw our way in these Laodicean, deceitfully lukewarm times of fast food religion and quick fix deliverances. I suspect that the dead in Christ have their crowns already. However, what if we are alive when He comes? It seems that it is OUR crowns that are up for grabs. Will you allow YOUR crown to be stolen because you enjoyed too much fast food in the spirit and you depended solely on quick fixes, incapable of standing against the wiles of the devil.
RESCUE Ministry will train you to be prepared for the Satanic onslaught that is coming your way. We also work to set you free once you have slipped into sinking sand. God wants to work in you. RESCUE is a safe haven where He can answer your prayer and prepare you for the future, with solid meat. Has the enemy interfered in your life? God is greater than the devil. At RESCUE, we will train you to get a crown and keep it. We will help you to past all tests with flying colors, as you learn to stand in strong faith.

IS POSITIVE THINKING BIBLICAL?
Written by Gloria
“For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he” Proverbs 23:7
What interpretation do you have about this verse? I was taught that this verse spoke on how I can shape my reality by what I think, that our thoughts have the power to alter our lives, and that we can make ourselves what we want to be.
But does this verse really teach about the power of our thoughts?
While detoxing from religion, one of the main things I learned is that It’s important at all times to consider the context of a bible verse. Some factors to look into when reading the bible is to consider who is the target audience and whether or not the writer was speaking (referring) to someone specific . To assume that every verse written is personally directed to you is a dangerous way of reading the bible.
It’s also good to have an idea of the historical & cultural context of a particular verse. The question to ask is whether or not the passage of scripture is relevant to present day living.
Let’s look at the verse in relation to the rest of the chapter.
Proverbs 23:1-8
1. When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee:
2 And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
3 Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat.
4 Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
5 Wilt thou set thine eyes upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly away as an eagle toward heaven.
6 Eat thou not the bread of him that hath an evil eye, neither desire thou his dainty meats:
7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee.
8 The morsel which thou hast eaten shalt thou vomit up, and lose thy sweet words.
The writer was advising someone that even though this person says “Eat & drink”, be careful not to assume that he is a generous man. For the words coming out of his mouth may not match what’s in his heart. why? because “his heart is not with thee”.
Do not be fooled by the words and generous acts of someone, If the generosity doesn’t come from the heart, then he is not a generous person. He acts a certain way because he has evil motives.
So within the context of scripture, it becomes clear that the verse has nothing to do with positive thinking or the power of the mind. Rather, it is addressing hypocrisy. Simply put, people can outwardly act a certain way but their true character is what is in their heart.
So where did this verse get linked to power of thought?
In 1903 a book titled “As a man thinketh” was published by the author James Allen.
James Allen was a British philosophical writer and considered a pioneer of the self-help movement in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. His best known work is the book “As a Man Thinketh” which is likely based on the Biblical verse Proverbs 23:7 which states: “For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.
Some quotes from his book
“A man is literally what he thinks, his character being the complete sum of all his thoughts.”
“As a being of Power, Intelligence, and Love, and the lord of his own thoughts, man holds the key to every situation, and contains within himself that transforming and regenerative agency by which he may make himself what he wills.”
“If he will link cause and effect by patient practice and investigation….. As a means of obtaining that knowledge of himself. “He that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened”; for only by patience, practice, and ceaseless importunity can a man enter the Door of the Temple of Knowledge.”
The book primarily teaches that man is self-sufficient to transform his situations, its starts in the mind and everything else follows.
One of the deceptions that is rampant is believing everything that comes from the devil must have a negative connotation to it. If a teaching is meant to help you become better, the assumption is that there’s no way it came from the devil, based upon a belief that the devil doesn’t want you to be the best you can be! This is not true! The devil is the author of many positive teachings that might even produce some beneficial effects in your life. Nevertheless, that’s a part of the trap,—to make you believe you are embracing something great when you are actually been set up to be demonized.
The church has joined in teaching the power of positive thinking, notably Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, TD Jakes to name a few; many ministers cherry pick verses to back this false doctrine by teaching that if people remain positive and grateful, their situations will change for the better.
It’s alarming that the church has endorsed a teaching that originates from ripping Proverbs 23:7 completely out of context.
By their fruits, you shall know them
What fruits come from this teaching?
It denies people the opportunity to listen to the gospel – instead of people listening to the true gospel of Jesus Christ; they go to church to receive a pep talk telling them that even though they are facing challenges, they can turn it around. How will people know the gospel when they are not even hearing it to begin with? And when they do hear the gospel, it’s a different version that asks them to accept Jesus into their heart.
People are being taught techniques on how to change their thinking from negative to positive with the help of certain activities such as meditation – a practice that facilitates entrance into an altered state of consciousness (ASC). An altered state causes peoples’ chakras to be open & for demons to enter. Pastor Pam has several blogs & videos teaching on how Christians have been deceived into opening their chakras and getting demonized, you can read more on this at:-
Christians Who Open the 7 Chakras Are Demonized!
Also the topic is covered extensively in the book “The Church of the Endtime Zombies”. The link for the paperback & e-book are listed below.
This teaching is also very focused on self & that the power to change is inside of you. Romans 3:23 states that all have fallen short, so we don’t have the power to make ourselves clean from sin, we cannot cause out spirits to be born again by positive thinking. There are some changes people can make in their lives for the better but being born again is something that only the Holy Spirit can do.
This belief in the unregenerated self has given rise to people referring to themselves as “I AM” with views that since humans are made in the image of God, that we are little gods, another false teaching.
Reading a bible verse in its proper context is crucial in the times we live in, it’s easy to be carried away by false doctrine if you don’t question or challenge what you are taught. “As a man thinketh so is he” addresses hypocrisy not the power of our thoughts.

Christians Who Open the 7 Chakras Are Demonized!
By Pastor Pam
The Dangers of Opening the 7 Chakras
The Seven Chakras in Man and Woman
Those who have practiced meditation, yoga and who have submitted themselves to various chakra initiations within Eastern belief systems have unknowingly opened themselves to scores of demons. If you are a practicing Christian and you are experiencing various energy pulls, shifts, sensations of heaviness, heat and cold, if you find yourself frequently out of control of various body parts, bodily functions and/or other manifestations, you are experiencing the outward signs that suggest that you need to be delivered “inside” your spiritual body. Here is why. You have made an invitation to Hindu gods, aka, evil spirits aka demons and fallen angels. Here is a summary of “what has happened.”
- The 7 demonic gateways or doorways
There are seven psychic gates in the human body that occultists call chakras: The crown of the head, the forehead between the eyes called the 3rd eye, the throat, the heart, the navel, the sex organs and the anus. In his testimony, former grandmaster occultist, “Eric” revealed that these 7 openings are sealed by God and opened by man through sin. When they are opened, spirits are able to pass through these gates or doorways, several at a time.
About 5 years ago, I counseled a very religious man, an Asian who had been dedicated as a child to Hindu gods, converted as an adult to Christianity, studying to be a minister in seminary and a member of a 7th day Adventist church. He came to me because he was hearing condemning, accusatory voices throughout each day. In counseling we discovered that “James” was not saved. James has been a long time practitioner of yoga, a spiritual discipline whose goals are to “open the 7 gateways.” James’s gateways were wide open. The Lord gave James a dream, showing him that over each chakra, sat a Hindu deity, aka a demon–as follows:
7. The crown—Shiva 6. The Third Eye—Hakini 5. the Throat—Savashiva
4. The Heart—Isha 3. the Navel—Vahni 2. The sex organs Vishnu and Rakini,
1. The Anus—Brahma.
During the telephone deliverance session, James discerned that scores of demons were running in and out of each of his gates. So to stop this, I had to close the gates by casting out each of the 7 deities. Calling them by their Hindu names, one by one, they came out roaring, cursing, screaming and speaking in tongues. By the way, James had never spoken in tongues, other than in the session.
This was a unique deliverance. I had never heard of any such thing before or since. However, after reading what Eric had to say, I will certainly perform this ritual with others. James was not only delivered of the torment, but all of his religiosity completely disappeared.
Eric reports in his book that he has projected himself into the bodies of weak pastors through the first gateway, the anus. When “inside”, he would evaluate the pastor’s spiritual power through his aura, a feat that Eric accomplished in two minutes. If the aura is a certain color, then Eric knows the person is weak in faith. In most cases, the power of the pastor was weak because of fornication. In his own words, “There are many men, women, boys and girls who are ravening wolves or agents of different demons, operating in different churches all over the world. Women and girls are more in this connection than men. The presence of such agents in Christian churches will always guide astral spirits on how to advance their manipulations against Christians.”
According to Eric, the sins that open the 7 gates are:
1. sexual intercourse with a demon in a dream or sex with a prostitute
2. drugs
3. visiting a fortune-teller
4. receiving healing through occult powers
5. reading occult books.
6. Anger. (By anger, demons transmit certain diseases or sicknesses. Demons will manipulate people to seek solutions from witches and occultist—a psychic healer–who himself is an agent of demons in disguise.
This is no surprise to me. Our Deliverance Assessment Form gleans this kind of information from clients. What Eric confirms is that human spirits, witches and warlocks, and people skilled in astral travel can enter into one or more of the 7 gates with their own spirits, and function as if they were a demon spirit. Now I understand why the Holy Spirit has often led me to call the spirit by name—a mother, father, relative, rapist, any human being who has put my client into bondage. In my deliverance counseling practice, I have had success with not only casting out demons but also casting out human spirits from a captive to a demonic soul tie.
If you have opened any of these 7 gateways, you need to have demons expelled from each chakra and then each chakra must be shut down and closed tightly, the way God intends for them to be, call toll free 888-818-1117 to make an appointment for a telephone deliverance counseling session.

A Word of Warning To Endtime Teachers
Absolutely, no one believer has ALL the truth. Yet even if there is one little error or lie in the light we have been given, then we are deceived.
The biblical warning rings true. Be not many masters for YOURS is the greater condemnation.
This warning is to me first and others later, as I too study and teach about endtimes. In fact, my book “the New Idolatry” is about the last days. Yet my approach is somewhat “different” as I focus on uncovering Satan’s real endtime agenda. In that regard, I remain neutral on biblical symbols and timelines, particularly those that I do not yet understand. Nevertheless, when I look around at those who are teaching about endtimes in books and on the Internet, I see clearly how the religious demon that the bible calls “the spirit of the Anti-Christ” has taken advantage of and capitalized upon the misunderstandings of various self-proclaimed, renigade teachers’ misunderstandings or mis-interpretations of truth.
As one example of many, some teachers materialize what is meant to be spiritual, figurative or symbolic while spiritualizing what is meant to be material or actual. Take 666—the number of the beast. Some are teaching that there is an actual number that Satan’s people will equate to or be marked with 666. Well, if this be the case, I am already branded as one of my significant numbers has 3 6’s in it. Look around and you will find your own 666—your birthday, your credit card or social security number as an example. Others spiritualize this number with highly confusing and complicated meanings.
Does ANYBODY really know what the actual mark of the beast is?
No!
Why not?
Because it is not time to know. When the hour comes upon us, all in the know “shall know” as it will be obvious and clear.
Premature interpretations that are emphatically presented as absolute truths yet the teaching is in error provide demonic doorways to seducing spirits to use us to teach doctrines of devils. Some are even hearing voices, dreaming endtime scenarios with timelines of the Loord’s return— messages they automatically assumed were the voice of God, when they actually heeded a message from a fallen angel. If you are hung-up on an enemy-sent error, your willful stubborness and lack of flexibility provide opportunities to deceive to both fallen angels and religious demons. Here is the deal. Just because you come in contact with 2 or 3, even 3000 people that agree with your revelation of the bible’s endtime symbols or timelines does not mean that your interpretation is correct. For the devil knows how to send the same lie to 3 million people, much less 2 or 3. Consequently, those who study and teach others about the end of days need to be absolutely sure that their prophecies and predictions did not come from the enemy.Otherwise, enhance your vocabulary by using expressions like “it could be, maybe, I think so, and don’t be ashamed of “I don’t know.”
For whenever we say “thus saith the Lord,” we are held both accountable and responsible for the damage that we cause.
You know them by their fruit. If you became afraid even terrorized by a prophet or a teacher’s endtime word, then he or she did not receive it from the Lord. For Jesus said to His elect “Be not afraid.”

The Danger of Denying Your Own Will
There is a Christian school of thought that teaches believers that in order to be pleasing to God, we must deny our own will. Many quote the Lord’s words while He was on earth when He often made it plain that He came to do the Father’s will and not His own. How was the will of Jesus different from the will of His Fathers? We will never know from the bible because He never discussed it. We can speculate that while He was in the garden of Gethsemane and began to sweat drops like blood, the Lord’s human will was struggling with His impending death on the cross and the Father’s desire that He become sin and be briefly separated from Him. Jesus took control of His human will by submitting it to the will of His Father.
Recently a Facebook self-proclaimed teacher wrote the following: I died to self when I find out that the real enemy, far worst than the devil himself, is my own thoughts. The Bible says our carnal mind is enmity against God (Rom 8:7). My thought pattern makes up for who I am. As a man thinketh so is he (Psalm 23:7). It means who I am is the enemy of who God is.”
A facebooker with more than 3000 professing Christian friends, this is a person who is teaching when she needs to be taught. Actually, her words describe the condition of professing Christians who are NOT born again.” Such a teaching suggests that the author has experienced a counterfeit birth herself and that she is functioning by the power of her soul and not her regenerated spirit.
Yet her teaching that I am struggling with the most is the implication that we are to be transformed to a state where we have no human will at all. Is that really God’s intent? My question is “Why give us a will if He desires to be in complete control over it?” I can answer this question. In the fall of mankind, contamination of the human soul set in. The carnal mind, of which the human will is but a part, became at enmity with God and is therefore un-reliable. Yet, a major purpose of the cross was to prepare the way to replace the carnal mind with the mind of Christ, available to all those who become “born again.” As long as we are not conformed to this world, the totality of the soul, which includes both the mind, emotions and the will can be renewed, as we work out its salvation with fear and trembling throughout the course of our earthly lives in Him.
So how does the will itself become “renewed” yet not destroyed?
I believe that if God desired to be in complete control of the human will, He would have created a robot. Though not robots, angels are somewhat “robotic” in nature. Their creation is controlled, either by God or by Satan. Individualism and self-will seem not to be permitted in their creation. Yet we are allowed to bow to the beat of our own drum— free to worship ourselves.
Yet if it were not for our capacity to control our own will, Satan would possess us. Herein lies the danger. To have the mind of Christ does not mean that your own mind is done away with. If so, how could you choose whether to have bacon and eggs for breakfast or a bowl of corn flakes? You would not be able to choose unless you absolutely knew God’s divine will on the matter. That example may sound ridiculous but when you consider what is going on in sincere but mindless Christianity, you might want to reconsider. Christians are looking for God to choose their church, their friends, their mate, their occupation, even the kind of car that they drive. Since God gave us a human will to make such choices, guess who steps in and mimics the voice of God? When you let the devil choose FOR you, then he is the one who is guiding your steps, and not the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is called the Helper and not the Controller or the Possessor.
Here is the good news. Once you are born again, you are no longer a victim to your own carnal mind, which is a synonym for the flesh. If you walk in the spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts and desires of the carnal mind. You HAVE at the moment of your rebirth, the mind of Christ to enlighten YOUR mind and to empower YOUR human will. A mind that is controlled by the spirit is a “spiritual mind.” The spiritual mind is sober and open to the things of God. As we walk in the spirit, the spiritual mind overshadows the carnal mind.
If you would like to learn the difference between the soul and the spirit, how the 2 are divided from each other, how to walk in the spirit, the power of the cross and the resurrection, all of our membership levels provide courses of study that will be of great benefit to your spiritual growth and development.

False Doctrine: the Dung of Demons
LET THE GOOD SPEAK EVIL
People are faithfully going to church, watching Christian television and reading Christian books, who need to be deprogrammed from error that is causing them to be vulnerable to demonic oppression of a very serious nature. In fact, when I have tried to counsel those who have come to me to seek deliverance from the torment of demons, the mixture and error in their spiritual foundation is extremely deep. Therefore, deliverance is severely hindered by the amount of error that these captives have anchored their faith to by listening to pastors in pulpits, watching Christian television or reading the books of various mega preachers.
Evil spirits know it is fruitless to urge the righteous toward sins of the flesh, so demons use another tactic called DECEPTION. The Satanic strategy is planned in the form of teachings and doctrines that appear “good”. The biggest deception is to receive counsel solely based upon the godly life and character of the counselor or teacher. Most false prophets are clean living, righteous, upstanding folk. So to receive their teachings based on their “good character” is what the enemy is after.
Therefore, it is important for you to know that every thing that the enemy does is not always evil as he works under the cover of light. So the strategy of deception is to get the righteous or good person to accept a wrong idea and then to pass it off to others “as truth.”
Certainly, the bible should be the foundation of every Christian. However, it is important to point out that scripture is also used as the basis of false teaching. The enemy has very skillfully woven into a web certain scriptures that will ultimately entrap a child of God like the prosperity gospel, praying in the spirit, tongues, slain in the spirit—I could go on and on!. With each false doctrine and practice, the method is to pull single texts out of their original context. In my work with professing Christians in torment or bondage, the following scripture from the book of James rings true:
WE ARE DECEIVED BY SEEMING TO BE RELIGIOUS, WHEN AN UNBRIDLED TONGUE REVEALS OUR TRUE CONDITION.(James1:26)
I train ministers in our deliverance mentoring program to listen to the unbridled tongue so as to expose the nature of the deception. Also, Paul wrote to Christians that we are deceived when we think ourselves to be wise with the wisdom of this world.(I Corinthians 3:15) Deliverance Mentoring is certaining a humbling process, for very often, Christians in torment must resist the devil by admitting that they have been deceived not only by well meaning Christian teachers, family and friends, but also by their own heart. (Jer 17:9, Isaiah 64:20)
- Trained ministers serve as mentors to those who have left the organized church.
