LGBTQ: There is No Such Thing As a Gay Christian!
Recently, I wrote an article in defense of the recent incident involving Kim Burrell, and I was attacked by a churchgoing Christian member of the LGBTQ community. Originally, Sam (his name has been changed,) did not reveal that he was gay. BUt as the email thread continued, he “came out” as a homosexual Christian who speaks in tongues and believes he is gifted by the Holy Ghost. The thread is long because I refused to be bullied by Sam, once he commanded that I stop answering his emails. I let him know that if he continued to write to me, I would continue to respond. I pointed out that the way to stop the thread was on him. Simply put, once Sam stopped writing these nasty, mean-spirited emails, I too would stop commenting because I would have nothing to respond to.
Sam’s stubbornness was strong. Finally, he stopped writing. The thread is way too long so I will summarize most of it. Nevertheless, reading Sam’s own words is very revealing not only about Sam, but about LGBTQ and the church’s failure in dealing with this community from a Christian perspective!
Here is Sam’s first contact letter and my response:
Sam: I read what you said about that Kim woman….. being gay is not a choice, but judging and being a bigot is…… You need to do some deep reading of the org text, not the King James……. your as blind as Kim is….. I pray God reveals your hate you have in your heart….. I am a holy ghost filled christian and something is not right about what you have said…. you made no sense…… Paul is the one who said being gay was a sin right? so he was in jail with a slave….and return that slave to his “christian” owner……. but we wouldnt have that today? Women keep silent in the church….. how can she see the sin in others eyes for the “fat” in her own….. our bodies a temple of the holy ghost? she is overweight wears big gaudy jewelry….. so many things wrong with this…. gays will be in heaven and hell… but all bigots and hyprocrites will be in hell…. straight and gay…….. You need deliverance my friend…….. I come against everything that you would say against me in the Name of Jesus….. nothing you say will touch me in Jesus Name…
ME: SAm, you are doing exactly what I wrote about in the article. You are discrediting the preacher in an attempt to nullify the message. So what if she is fat? SO what if she wears big earrings? Does those facts make what she preaches WRONG?
BTW! Kim has lost 100 pounds. This means she knows she has a problem and she has done something about it. She is not in denial of her own issues. Being overweight is not a sin in the same sense as is homosexuality. Just because a person is fat does not make them a glutton. To judge is to past sentence and to implement it. To tell a homosexual that God hates the sin does not mean that He does not love them. It is up to the individual to make a change. The truth is the truth. GOd wiped out an entire nation because of it. That is why homosexuals are also called Sodomites. God wiped out Sodom. You can’t remove that from the bible, Sir. My intent is not to call you names or to hurt you. I will say that you are seriously deceived and I have nothing else to say to you in that regard.
WEll, Sam continue to accuse, stereotype and condemn me. He called me bigoted, homophobic, a fake Christian and a witch. HE taunted me, in an attempt to manipulate me into defending my ministry as a woman. Ironically, Sam stood his ground that God does not call women into ministry because it’s a man’s job. MY response was that he is not born again. HE was outraged.
SAm: You tell me I am not born again? ….. right there tells me you’re a liar……. You’re teaching a false doctrine…a cult…… I have no rebellion in my life……. I live a very spirit fille life.
and yes spirit filled people do pray in the spirit…. speak in tongues…. signs and wonders will follow them that believe….. you should know the verse……….God did not set a woman to be a preacher over a church…that goes against the way he set this world up….. women keep silent in the church…but you don’t want to hear that do you?
Christians owned slaves in the bible……. we would not do that today would we? I will continue to pray against your false teaching and doctrine of devils…….
You will burn in hell for your lies…….. Jesus is God in the flesh…… I rebuke anything you would cast on me…… your more into magic I believe and falseness…. Full of Satan and his lies….. Get thee behind ME Satan and you too Pamela you vessel of the enemy.
Then I wrote an email that stopped Sam in his tracks. I have not heard from him since. Christians need to come to terms with the fact that normalizing the LGBTQ lifestyle is a denial of Christ Himself. This is my last message to Sam:
Sam, I tell you the truth. GOd saves homosexuals. no doubt!!!! But when He does, they no longer want to be homosexuals.
You know them by their fruits. You are in rebellion. REbellion is as the sin of witchcraft. So you are the pot calling the kettle black. You are the witch. not me.
Your change may not happen instantly. But it will happen. If you are saved, then change is in your future. However, If you have been born again for more than 3-5 years, and you have not come to terms with the lust, perversion and lasciviousness in your life, then you are not born again.
WHY? If you are born again, then the Holy Spirit lives in you. He will convict you of your sin. You are NOT convicted. That is why you are not born again. Simple.
Your response to me is to counterattack. I don’t take part in that. It’s just not my style. ALso, I will not defend my ministry to you. I never defend my ministry to those who don’t understand the scripture they quote. DOnt have to. I let my fruits speak for me. You keep writing me and you can’t seem to stop. ASk yourself why that is. That devil spirit in YOU is OUTRAGED. YOU CANT STOP WRITING me. You wish you had more info about me so that you could finger point more effectively, with precision and belittle me as you did in your comments about Kim Burrell. YOu would like to know if I am fat or ugly. SORRY! I look at least 20 years younger than I am.
Sam, YOU WOULD LOVE TO HURT ME BUT YOU CAN’T. You have a vengeful spirit of retaliation against anyone who disagrees with your lifestyle. That quality in you is the tip-off. Your behavior toward those who opposed your lifestyle is in itself “not of Christ.”” My take is that your accusatory statements are not surprising to me as your father is the main accuser of the brethren.
But I tell you this. I have been born again for 40 years this March 29. It was a Monday, at 4 pm. So I recognize a truly born again person when I see them. You have no respect. You are hateful and mean-spirited.
One of my most beloved online members, Eric, was gay since he was about 5 when he was sexually abused by a male relative. At 43, he got born again once he became a member of this ministry. I did not save him. God did Himself.
I did not have to tell Eric that homosexuality is sin. The Holy Spirit revealed it all to him. Convicted Eric and caused him to repent. I worked with him in his struggles. When Eric fell, I was there for him, without judgement. I helped him to get back up on his feet. You see, Eric wanted to be clean. It was just IN HIM. God cleansed Him over a years time.
And there are others. Several others. The blood of Jesus cleansed them from all sin. Some are celibate, preferring to never have sex than to be gay. Others are with women. I don’t have much ministerial experience with lesbians.
Believe it or not, gay men love me. I loved gay men before LGBTQ was even heard of. I had 3 gay men as best friends before I became born again. Eric is now my best friend. There is no one I love or respect more than Eric.
The problem is that the world has normalized homosexuality. I believe the LGBTQ members should have equal rights in all ways. Yet, even though I take no efforts to hinder your freedom, sin is sin. If fornication and adultery—sex between straight people , is sin in God’s mind, do you really thing that sex between gay and lesbians is NOT sin? It just isn’t logical.
I agree with the author of an article called Normalizing Homosexuality:
How about the church? One of the saddest things to see in America today is the infiltration of gay ministers and pastors in churches, along with the growing openness to homosexuality in Christian churches. I did not say ‘openness to homosexuals’; we should be loving and compassionate toward any and every sinner. I said “openness to homosexuality” meaning it has become rationalized not only in culture, but also in some churches. It is the rise of apostasy: gay churches and leadership that preach accommodation and community instead of the conviction of sin. These deceived people are glossing over homosexuality and are not helping those in bondage… [I am not even sure if they know the Bible.]
Pastor Joe Schimmel of Good Fight Ministries shared some thought-provoking truths:
“We need to distance ourselves from two extremes regarding homosexuality. One extreme is the ‘God hates fags’ crowd, who treat homosexual behavior as the unforgivable sin. The other extreme to taking a cavalier attitude toward homosexuality, and fail to recognize that the Scriptures teach that sexual sin is destructive in a way that other sins are not (1 Cor. 6:18).”
RESCUE is a ministry that demonstrates the love of Christ for LGBTQ by our willingness to not allow a fear of verbal attacks and spiritual abuse from those we are called to serve hinder or obstruct our work for the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth. We work with all who struggle with sin. If you are looking for such a fellowship that will stand before God and the devil on your behalf, complete the contact form below:

Unraveling a False Conversion
After watching my video series entitled “False Conversions,” certainly you were startled, perhaps even horrified. I understand.
Clearly the adversary has had a religion, recognized by the Lord in His message to te church at Smyrna, called “the synagogue of Satan.” Little did we realize that the profession of godliness without the inward witness of the new birth is in itself an aspect of Satan’s religion, under the delegated authority of the fallen angels Maitreya, Sananda and Mother Mary for the Catholics.
The Lord refers to “the deep things of Satan” in His word to the church at Thyatira. Seducing spirits with doctrines of devils do not fail to mention the cross and the resurrection, yet they do so deliberately without understanding so as to eliminate their power. In a false conversion, the enemy has taken the symbols of his defeat and used them against his conquerors where multitudes are unknowingly under the sway and in the power of Satanic religion.
So to unravel a false conversion, the first step is to disavow either Maitreya, Sananda or Mother Mary. You may need some spiritual warfare help with that, so call me at 518-477-5759.
In this post, lets take a look at point 2—-one must pass through the gateway of the cross.
Since no one can lift himself out of the horrible pit of sin, it is impossible without the ministry of the Holy Ghost. Here is where faith and trust in God comes to the rescue. Once the captive is made aware of his or her need and desires for the true Jesus of the cross, the Spirit will unveil the Prince of Glory, hanging upon a tree and convict the captive of sin. He will also give the captive a measure of faith to truly believe and the ability to experience peace and assurance through the Lord’s blood shed on the cross for the forgiveness of sin and the washing and cleansing of the newly created spirit.
Once the soul learns the meaning of the cross in its deliverance from the bondage of sin, then the Holy Ghost will bring you to the Risen Christ— as you—as a former captive— take your seat in heavenly places.

Exposing False Conversions
I remember one time I dealt with a lady a few years ago. I was trying to help her because the Lord had shared with me that even though she believed she was saved, He shared with me that she was, in fact, not saved. I did not know how to approach her, at first, in that it is very difficult to go to someone and ask them to question their salvation.
When most people are challenged or asked ‘Are you really saved?’ They answer emphatically “YES!”
It is viewed almost as a slap in the face that you would even THINK to ask such a question!
That was the response of this lady. She became VERY offended at my question, at the very notion that I would even imply that she may not be saved.
So after a few interchanges with her, she stopped talking to me.
When I watched this video of Pamela explaining examining our salvation, I was reminded of the stiff-neckedness of this lady. Unfortunately, many people are like that lady.
Many get offended if someone was to question their salvation. I say, ‘If there is a doubt in your mind-or if you’re dealing with some oppression or even possession of any kind-then it then becomes necessary to EXAMINE YOUR SALVATION.
If you need help in sorting out the details of your salvation experience, if you have ANY doubt in your mind or spirit that you are saved, or if you’re dealing with demonic oppression or torment since attending your church or repeating the sinner’s prayer, please call (518) 477-5759 TODAY!

How Pam Sheppard Discovered the Pervasiveness of False Conversions
Ola Cruz came to her pastor, Pam Sheppard with a dream from God in 2001. She was told to ask Pastor Pam to confront those demons. . Ola had no recollections of her 3 deliverance sessions.. Ola didn’t remember anything of how demons lifted her up out of her wheelchair to use her body to lash out against Pastor Pam, who had been grooming Ola for the fivefold ministry. This part of Ola and Pastor Pam’s testimony zero’s in on the finer points of the three deliverance sessions. This conversation took shape on Facebook, soon after Ola reunited with Pam in 2011, ten years later. .
HOW PAM’S EYES WERE OPENED TO COIN THE TERM “COUNTERFEIT BIRTHS.”
OLA: Pam, I love you so much for doing your part for my salvation.
PAM: I love you too OLA, but it was my love for God that led me. OLA, when you came to us at Healing Waters (church Pam closed), and told us the dream of having three snakes within you, we were shocked but we obeyed . In your dream, the Lord told you to come to me and ask me to cast those demons from you. We had three sessions. In the first session, the demons manifested and you threw up. In the second session, the demons became outraged, and picked up your infirmed body out of your wheelchair. The demons were cursing, and blaspheming. He was headed for me, and two big women had to take down, your little 110 pounds or so.
OLA: I didn’t receive salvation at that time Pam…
Pam: As you walked from the back of the church, a crowd gathered outside that big glass window from the cab stand and the Pakistani restaurant. The crowd watched you walk towards me. I was too shocked to be scared, but fear DID set in. You picked up a bible, and almost hit my assistant in the head with it. She jumped up, and said ” IT’S ON “.
The witnesses thought you had walked under the power of God, because they could not hear what was being said inside. After that day, Pakistanis would run up to me in the street to stop me for prayer. They would put money in my hands and run. Sometimes it was $100. I gave the money to the church. They called me ” the woman of God “. To them, I was the woman of God who bought the crippled woman out of her wheelchair. But…I knew better!
OLA: Ha! Ha! Ha! Pam, but you still loved , and worked with me. Even after being attacked.
Pam: As you lay on the church floor, AFTER you were taken down, the demon claimed his rights. He wailed through your mouth, and said ” HER GRANDMOTHER GAVE HER TO ME”
OLA: Preachers of today would have run to abuse me physically. This did happen to me in the past.
Pam: I always loved you, Ola. You were like a second daughter. I was determined. If YOU were going down, I was going down with you.
OLA: Pam, all I can say is—but God! But God had another plan. He truly saved me. All captives who want freedom shall rejoice. The Lord will set them free.
Pam: It was the third session that the demon exposed itself. It wasn’t even a session, but a Bible study. We were all sitting at the table, and so were you. At the study, you revealed that you did not understand the resurrection, and you said ” Pastor, God is going to have to show, and prove himself to me or I will not believe “. I said Ola, say ” Jesus was raised from the dead “. You literally could not say it. You picked up a piece of paper, and wrote ” I can not speak, my throat is blocked “. That is when I jumped up from the table, and commanded the demon to come out. What followed immediately is that you could speak. Your first words were ” Jesus was raised from the dead .”
- Summary
Pam: In a lot of ways, OLA’S testimony is also MY testimony for one main reason. This was a groundbreaking deliverance that opened my eyes to truth in ways that I could not have imagined. For I did not know that someone could preach, speak in tongues and prophesy, yet NOT be saved! OLA was the first. However, from 2002-the present, I have been in touch with hundreds in the last 9 years, so much so, that I coined the word “counterfeit births” in the book “Faces of the Religious Demon.”

Seducing Spirits in the 3 P’s: the Pulpits, the Preacher and the Public
Casting out demons 2000 years ago was a lot more elementary and certainly less complicated than what believers have to contend with today. For as the world evolved from an agricultural to an industrial society, so have demons and devils adjusted to the ever-increasing sophistication of modern times. For example, with the advent of the telephone, who would have thought that it could be used to cast out devils? I certainly never considered it until spontaneously, I was compelled to do so and then was shocked when it actually worked!
I believe the year was 2002 when I received a phone call from Doris Wagner, the author of “How to Cast Out Demons” and the wife of one of the well-known evangelical leaders, the late Dr. Peter Wagner of the Fuller Theological Seminary Institute of Church Growth in Colorado. I had requested that Doris write a review of my first book, “To the Curse the Root,” and she did so. A few years later, she called me on the phone with a request that I conduct a deliverance of a minister who lived in my state. At the time, she could locate only two deliverance workers in NY, one in Buffalo and myself.
The minister in question who I’ll simply call, “Rev,” had obtained Doris’s book because he needed to be set free from a demon. Prepared to fly from NY to Colorado, Rev was desperate. Too busy to handle his case, Doris did a search on the web to find someone from his home state and I was the only one online that she could find in New York, besides the man in Buffalo, who did not return her call. So, “I was all she wrote.”
A day or so later, Rev. called me. In short, he was too suspicious of me to travel the 3 hours to my city and that same suspicion would not allow him to accept my invitation to travel to him. So, exasperated with this demon, I simply commanded it to come out of him over the telephone, and I was as shocked as Rev. was. He was immediately delivered over the airways.
Pompous and proud, a bona-fide mega preacher wannabee, the “Rev” boastfully said to me, “Pam, when I get big, I’ll look out for you.” I guess he never got big because that was 16 years ago, and I have not heard from him yet! The truth of the matter, with such a proud spirit, I would not be surprised to hear that demons have re-infested him, in one way or the other.
So I know you are wondering how “Mr. Big” became demonized in the first place! A single man, the Rev had been sleeping with one of the single women who was a member of the congregation that he pastored. His girlfriend was the leader of the church’s “deliverance team.” On the night that the Rev. was demonized, his girlfriend and the rest of the team were in the church building, casting out demons from someone— when the demons turned on them, very much like is recorded in the book of Acts concerning the sons of Sceva. The demon or demons in the captive used the captive’s body to jump on the members of the deliverance team and “conduct a beat down”.
The girlfriend frantically ran to the telephone—-check this out–and dialed the Rev.
He had been in a deep, coma like sleep and he woke up and picked up the phone, only to hear his girlfriend screaming in fright. Not fully understanding what was going on, all of a sudden, he saw something that he described as “a silver ball like thing,” rolling like a bowling ball down his alley and entered into his chest. Until he contacted Doris and then me, he had been possessed with a spirit of fear for about 6 weeks. He was afraid to come out of his house, and preaching from his pulpit was particularly challenging, to say the least. The fear was so debilitating, that he was anxious to fly to Colorado from NY for Doris Wagner to set him free.
When I suggested that he travel to me, a distance of about 3 hours by bus, train or car, he refused. He was too fearful for that. He could take a plane because he could sit down in the seat and close his eyes. But he could not handle any other kind of transportation. There is a flight from his city to mine, that takes about 45 minutes but we never thought of that at the time. So I offered to travel to New York City but the Rev refused because he was both fearful and suspicious of me, for I was in no way as noteworthy as Doris Wagner. So while he was speaking, the Holy Ghost moved on me and I commanded the spirit to come out of him.
It did so immediately.
This may seem like a simple deliverance success story. However, it is not. There is much more to it than meets the eye. So what am I suggesting about this incident?
Rev. was not born again, his girlfriend was not born again, and the demons had taken over the entire sanctuary. If I had travelled to him and attempted to conduct the deliverance in the Rev’s church, I suspect that the demon would NOT have come out of him.
Thank God for the telephone and thank God for Mr. Alexander Graham Bell.
Those who practice Deliverance Ministry 101 would boast, “Oh, this case is elementary. Rev. and his girlfriend were committing the sin of fornication, so they became vulnerable to demons. Sins gives ground to the devil. They put themselves in harm’s way by trying to cast out demons from people. Case closed. Simple.
No, it is not so simple. For there is MORE!
-
This one case did more than just reveal to me that demons can be cast out over the telephone. When I revisit the experience today, I can apply what 16 additional years under my belt have taught me. My experience with “the Rev” confirms what I have suspected for the last decade–a revelatory question that led me to write 5 books: Faces of the Religious Demon, Come Out of Her God’s People, the New Idolatry Be Delivered From Deliverance Ministry and The Church of the End-time Zombies
So here goes the question.
Have religious devils already taken over the pulpits throughout the entire organized, institutional church, not only in the USA , but worldwide?
I suggest to you an emphatic “yes!!!!”

Ministry In 2012
Are we headed for the last season of God’s timetable before the Lord’s soon return? How do we preach in this season? I believe that the preaching of the gospel to the world has already been done. The truth is that many who call themselves “God’s people” have anchored their faith in the preaching of a distorted gospel. Today I received a phone call from a man living on the west coast who was calling about his 93-year-old Catholic mother, a recent stroke victim hospitalized on the east coast. The son requested if someone from my church would make a hospital visit, in order to “lead her to salvation.” The son proudly let me know that he is a pentecostal and that he doesn’t believe that his Catholic mother is saved.The mother has not lost her mental faculties, but the stroke has left her without speech. I said to the son, “I don’t lead anybody into salvation for I don’t have the power to save anyone, and salvation is according to election by the sovereign will of God. If your mother is called to salvation, then the Lord will find a way to save her. My concern is that your mother has heard and believes on “another gospel.” The son was so churched, that it never crossed his mind that perhaps he too was not saved. As for his sick and dying mother, how does one to proceed? Going to her hospital bed and informing this aged Catholic that she has been worshipping the fake Jesus and a demon called Mother Mary might actually send her over the edge.
I rest assured that if this mother is one of God’s elect, He will certainly save her. I have learned that one of the primary principles of ministry today is to be aware of your own limitations and not “rush in” on false faith. For two millennium, the word of God has been preached from one end of the world to the other since the Day of Pentecost. The gospel is a very simple message: Jesus coming out of heaven to earth, born of a virgin, crucified for our sins, died and was raised from the dead, was seen of many, ascended and, praise God, He is coming back. Therefore, part one of the Great Commission is practically accomplished. This is the gospel in a nutshell, a word that is published every Christmas and every Easter, in spite of Santa Claus and the Bunny.
I am a clear example of an atheist who had never heard the word preached from a pulpit or from a TV evangelist, never even-handed a tract nor had I ever opened a bible. If an atheist could be drawn to Jesus just based upon the word that was preached through the holidays of Christmas and Easter, ANYONE CAN BE!!! This is the reason why the enemy is taking a strong stand against keeping Jesus as the reason for both seasons. Unfortunately, it is not surprising that the church is in the pitiful condition that it is in today because of a gross neglect of part two of the Great Commission which is “go forth and cast out demons!” Therefore, I write to the faithful of the church at Philadelphia, and exhort you to remember the words of Paul to Timothy: “In the last days, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.” (I Timothy 4:1)
As the word of God has foreshadowed in various scriptures, seducing spirits are thriving in the organizational church today in the form of the religious demon. So beware, oh, precious ones! Beware of demons that will come in your midst and try to hide in your sheepfolds, whose mission is to bring down the true Body of Christ. To be successful, Satan must be very deceptive. In one of His parables, the Lord announced that in the midst of His planting wheat in His field, an enemy came along and planted imitation wheat called “tares” or weeds.
Consequently, the Lord declared that toward the end of the age, there would come a point in time when the imitation wheat and the true wheat would look identical. (Matthew 13:37-43) I believe that the objective of ministry during endtimes is connected to the Lord’s coming again. As John the Baptist preached repentance and “prepare ye the way of the Lord” to unveil His first coming, I believe that ministry in the endtimes is about preparing the people for the Lord’s second coming. So, how do we do that? I don’t think I can state any better what I have already written in “the New Idolatry.” I have found that the demonstration of power begins at the cross. The cross of Jesus Christ is the place where we must submit our human nature. Not just the bad but the good also.
The ones who demonstrate the most power are the ones who have suffered the most—the ones who have sinned the most—the ones who have been forgiven of the most. They tend to be most humble. However, people who have always had it good, been the most acceptable to the world, people pleasers who have adapted to a success model based upon the world’s standards—these are the people who are the most difficult to demonstrate God’s power. They are too filled up with their own power. Their own thoughts. Their own ways. Their own abilities. What I hope my testimony speaks to is that it is not just the bad things that must go to the cross. It is also the things that are considered good about ourselves that are the most dangerous. Like Paul, we’ve got to cry out, “I don’t get mixed up in nothin except Jesus Christ and Him crucified!” (pg 202) Once a Christian has been dealt with—broken by God at the cross—and has emerged a servant, then he or she is ready to participate in ministry.
I believe that in this hour, the primary work of service is to undeceive those who believe that “they already know.” Once those who have been deluded and confused have been enlightened by truth, a deliverance may still be necessary and so the casting out of demons is a very important ministry in these times. Actually, I perceive ministry today as giving out nuggets of truth. Sometimes the scope of what can be confronted with captives to deception is very limited. In my deliverance counseling practice as outlined in my third book, “Faces of the Religious Demon,” I have found that the Lord is allowing some of His people to be tormented so that they can be shaken from the deep spiritual sleep in which they so proudly and boastfully rest. Unfortunately, the spiritual arrogance and pride of those who are seeking prominence and a name for themselves in Christiandom are in serious trouble because their spiritual arrogance and pride has become deeply entrenched in their hearts and minds.
So in 2012, I am prepared that scores of people shall refuse to hear God’s warnings coming from an author whom they may consider “a nobody.” Armed with this knowledge, I am no longer distressed or stressed when I am rejected by them. I realize that namedroppers and wannabees have to be broken because in their proud state, many are unable to humble themselves enough to even discern the signs of the times, as they think that they are going to build a personal Christian kingdom that they can pass on to their children and grandchildren as many notable mega preachers have already done. So other than for those who enter into counseling or mentoring with Pam Sheppard Ministries, my approach to ministry as an author is to focus on at least one nugget of truth, either by telephone or by email, by a book or a blog and then “move on” and let the Holy Ghost lead that person into the essentials of a deeper truth. For various reasons, I have found that the resistance to the truth by most captives is the result of their religious development overtime. Like a spider forms a web, religious demons on assignment have weaved an intricate, subliminal spiritual web—a longstanding strategy that has progressively hindered a captive’s ability to face this or her own Laodicean blindness “head on.”
So for me, ministry in 2012 is to drop a nugget of truth on the world-wide web, “plant a truth seed” in 1000 words or less— and then leave the plowing, the weeding, the watering and even the harvesting up to God, and keep on steppin. Sometimes you will find that the captive does not like the style or manner of the messenger even more than the content of the message. In such cases, when I find people who will not acknowledge my words because they do not like either my style or my tone, I strategically plan my exit. As they stubbornly cling to their own ideas of how they believe that God should teach them through the organized church where they have been a member of longstanding, I “cut to the chase.” I have learned to focus my energy and go right to the heart of the matter. I will certainly avoid throwing scripture back and forth as in a contest, but I will pointedly ask a few salient questions like, “If you are really saved, then why is the devil having his way with you? Why don’t you have any joy or peace in the Holy Ghost? Why are you not assured of your salvation? Why so much condemnation, shame and guilt” Are you confused? Is confusion of God or is it of the devil? Then I sit back, wait on a response, and refuse to take either a defensive or an offensive position. In other words, I present a nugget of truth, and I don’t stick around to see whether or not that nugget was received. I just “keep it movin.” Sometimes the Lord will let me know that “the seed got planted in good ground.” Sometimes, He does not. This is the key. Ministry is the Lord’s thing. Some plant, some water, but it is the Holy Ghost Who gives the increase.

The Comfort Zone of Church Attendance For the Lukewarm
Are you comfortable in the pews? Are you addicted to standing behind a pulpit? I can relate. I tell my story of how the Lord used present day Pharisees to mess with my comfort zone in “Come Out of Her, God’s People.” In a dream, the Lord warned me. He said “Pam, I can’t use you in this place. So sit back and let them PUT YOU OUT!” I thought to myself “How can they put me out? I have been a minister in good standing in this denomination for 25 years!!! Well in 9 months from the day of that dream, my fellow ministers and lay leaders PUT ME OUT!
Perhaps that will be the case for you. But if you are among the elect in endtimes, you must either walk out yourself, or the Lord will allow the devil to use fake Christians to PUSH you out. But out you MUST come out to survive and escape the plagues that are coming upon those still “in the house”!!! My warning to “the lukewarm” is taken from the words of Paul to Timothy and the words of Jesus to the church at Laodicea. We are living in the last days, where some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils.
So what is the bottom line to Satan’s not so tender trap? How was the devil able to get into the church, and not only secure a seat in the back row, but actually make his way to the pulpit? Well, through a gradual infiltration that has taken several centuries, Satan finally has his seat in the pulpit. You see, the gateway for the religious demon is “by invitation.” Invitations can be either formal or informal. Whether in ignorance or by design, when a person has made an appeal to Satan’s services by either a formal pact or an informal agreement, that person has unwittingly submitted himself to the powers of darkness..
When signs, wonders and strange religious practices that did not emanate from the Holy Ghost are accepted as divine, a spiritual invitation is made to the fake Jesus. Without hesitation, the fake Jesus pushes his way through the doors of your soul. When sermons are preached by wrenching scriptures out of their context for the purpose of making three points that have nothing to do with repentance, rebirth or the resurrection, an invitation is made to the religious demon. When salvation is taken out of the sovereign calling and election of God and put into the hands of man to “make a decision for Christ” then Satan moved from the backseat into the pulpit. When unsaved people came to church altars “chanting” after speaking in tongues, they invited demons to enter them and countless of these folk are now tormented, almost fully demonized.
As would be expected, the sheep followed the preaching of a distorted gospel, looking for blessings, success, and prosperity to come in the abundant life they are taught that Jesus promised them.They have been seduced into believing that “they have a right to the good life” and all that prosperity entails. Rarely do preachers even mention that serving Jesus Christ can also bring trial, tribulation, trouble and in some cases, even death. Consequently, Satan’s seat has been securred by the gradual elimination of the cross from the gospel preached in most pulpits.
Can Satan be unseated by the organized church?. How can he be? Though short lived, the bible tells us that Satan will have his day, when he officially takes his seat in the endtime synagogue, today called “THE CHURCH!” The organized church is fastly ringing true to her final name, Mystery Babylon. Furthermore, the time for repentance is already OVER, since judgement of the household of faith has already occurred. The remnant within the church shall prevail along with the rest of the 144,000 righteous remnant.
Whether an actual or a literal number, the truth is this. The way to the True Jesus is narrow and straight and the very few are those who enter in and find the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of the Father. Every one of us who is saved today believed on Jesus Christ through the gospel that the first apostles preached. In this regard, the gates of hell can never make a claim on a born again child of God because any prayer of the Lord’s was answered by the Father.
Therefore, the gates of hell have not and shall not prevail against the saved. The Lord did not pray for the organized church in John 17. He could have, but He didn’t. It was about to be formed. No, Jesus prayed for its first leaders, the 11 Apostles, with Paul being the spiritual replacement for Judas. A serious cause for the confusion over who Jesus was referring to as “the church” is that for centuries, the organized religious system has made no distinction between its own bureaucracy and the eternal body of true believers in Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
In fact, in many churches, it is assumed and presumed that those who regularly attend
on Sundays, pay their tithes and offerings, and partake of the means of grace are members in good standing, and therefore they are considered “saved.” This practice began with Catholicism and eventually carried over into the Protestant churches. Nevertheless, the assumption that every one on the church rolls is saved is certainly without scriptural justification.
Some of you might turn to a verse in Ephesians where Paul writes that the Lord is coming back for a church without spot or wrinkle. Charismatics, particularly those who preach “dominion theology,” contend that as long as the organized church is a toothless ole hag in a soiled wedding dress, the Lord is not coming back for her. Dominion theology like those who embrace the Joel Army movement boast of present day apostles who are expected to reform the organized church to cause her to be a presentable bride.
These folk are seriously deceived because there is not one thing that man can do to affect God’s timetable. Some of you “foolish virgins” need to put some oil in your lamps and come to terms with the reality that the Lord is NOT coming back for the organized church in what churchfolk have called “the rapture”. He is coming back for his invisible, eternal kingdom made up of the elect AFTER the Anti-Christ has reigned. Once saved, we no longer have “spots or wrinkles or any such thing” because a bona-fide Christian has been washed in the blood of the Lamb. Once Jesus Christ returns, we all shall finish out the cleansing by the resurrection of our dead bodies or the putting on of immortality by those of us who are alive at His coming, when we who are alive shall meet in the air those who preceded us in death.
This is the gospel of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. There is only one event that I believe determines when the Lord shall come back. I believe He will come back when every name that was written in the Lamb’s book of Life before the foundation of the earth was laid, has heard the gospel and has been led to the cross by the Holy Ghost. Jesus prayed that He would have ALL of the elect. If there is one among the elect who has not yet been born, He will wait on that person hearing the gospel and being drawn to Him by the Holy Ghost. The ministry of the 144,000 will bring in every soul among the chosen of God who is alive just before the Lord’s coming.
The Great Falling Away
The Great Falling Away
The Apostle Paul warned Timothy that in the last days, some would depart from the faith because they gave heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. I connected the dots and assumed that Paul was referring to “the great falling away.” So while I was a faithful member and pastor in the organized system, I was incorrect in my assumption that the faithful few would remain in the organized church, when actually the opposite phenomena has occurred. For those who have “fallen away,” are those who remain inside the organized, religious system.
HERE IS THE PATTERN. Those who came to know Jesus Christ through the organized church have come to know the Jesus of their understanding, embraced him, fallen in love with his sacrifice, his death, his goodness, his mercy, his peace, his power to heal etc. They become devoted followers of the Jesus of their understanding. And because of their commitment and devotion, they are attacked and abused by other followers of this same Jesus who are hypocrites. This attack has a deceptive intent and outcome, in that the devoted ones believe themselves to be more saved than the hypocrites.
However, without an understanding of the Lord’s resurrection, neither the devoted believer nor the hypocrite is truly saved. The expression “He rose from the dead” just becomes more meaningless verbage,–a lifeless “tag on” to the cross. In spite of the fact that the devoted followers are initially deceived by the attack they receive from the hands of professing “Christians” , the Lord uses the attack to His advantage by calling out those that He has chosen from the beginning of time to be genuinely saved. Therefore, He allows the demon to torment His called out ones, who have been entrapped and confused by believing on the imposter. The attack warns the deceived ones that “something is wrong.” Nine times out of 10, what is wrong is that the deceived have been unknowingly believing in a unresurrected imposter who calls himself “Jesus Christ.” .
Just as you will find perhaps billions of innocent people who are extremely devoted to Allah, Buddha, and other gods– sincere people, faithful followers of the wrong god,— the religious demon is using the same tactics in Christianity. The religious demon literally imitates Christ, either without the cross or without the resurrection or at times, even without BOTH. This fake Jesus is more apparent among the Mormons, the Catholics, the Christian Scientists, and the Jehovah Witnesses. Each of these allegedly Christian religions have changed the gospel in some way. However, this “imposter god” is also drawing out followers through the preaching of the prosperity message, ie. “a millionnaire Jesus.”
In other words, word of faith, non-denominational, charismatic and Pentecostals have more subtly changed the nature and character of Jesus with their prosperity preaching and by neglecting to preach the bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. The fake Jesus has used the same tactic with a slightly different spin. THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN TORMENTED CAN CONSIDER YOURSELVES “BLESSED.”. The real Jesus is about to rescue you. The devil has tried to snatch you out of the Lord’s hands but he WILL NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. to be set free, click the title link above called “WHATS GOIN ON.”
- ASHTAR
I have found out the name of the imposter-Satan’s #1 religious demon. His name is Jesus Sananda Immanuel, and he is assisted by another, a high level angel called Ashtar. Together, Jesus Sananda and Ashtar have been imitating Jesus Christ of Nazareth. At first, their focus was on establishing false Christian religions like the Mormons and others. A fallen angel pretending to be a UFO, Sananda is a fraud, a mocker, an imitator and a blasphemer of the most High God. Their primary goal is to unite all world religions. Ashtar first entered this solar system on July 18, 1952, 55 years ago. Truly, that is when the problem of the present day organized church began to have serious problems. Ashtar first contacted to Col. George Van Tassel, introducing himself as a UFO. For decades now, Sananda and Ashtar continue to communicate openly with their New Age followers, speaking to them through mediums who today are called “channels” or “contactees.”
- Sananda is on the cover of the book “THE FAKE JESUS”
If you search the web with the names of these two fallen angels, you will find a plethora of contradictory information, depending upon the “spiritual consciousness” of the channel or contactee. With professing Christians who believe that they are serving and worshipping Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of God, Sananda and Ashtar use deception through infiltration into the organized church with false practices, false doctrine and deceived and/or false prophets. In other words, Jesus Sananda defies and refutes Jesus Christ of Nazareth by preaching that all religious roads lead to God. The Lord Jesus Christ declared that no man could come unto the Father than but by Himself yet Jesus Sananda preaches that all religions lead to the Father.
To find out who Sananda says that he is, I have reviewed the writing of several “channels.” It was an arduous task. Overall, it seems that Sananda’s mission and purpose is the unification of all world religions, spiritual paths, schools of thought, in other words the formation of Mystery Babylon. Sananda needs ministers to provide him with opportunitites to “do his job.” So you need to examine yourself and determine which Jesus you have been worshipping and serving.
Here is the test.
: 1. Are you preaching universal, unconditional love and acceptance? 2. Do you hear little to nothing about sin, repentance and the cross? 3. Have you been sitting under preaching that is emphasizing YOU finding your divine destiny? 4. Have you been sitting under preaching about “taking the kingdom for Christ” ie. dominion teaching? 5. Have you ever been slain in the spirit? 6. Do you have “a prayer language” that you yourself do not understand? 7. Are you striving for complete unity of all faiths in Christ? There is more, but if you believe in Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Only begotten Son of God, and can answer “yes” to even one of these 7 questions, you may be in serious trouble.
Here is the most important question to ask. Did you ask Jesus to “come into your heart?” If you did, then you made an invitation to Sananda.

The Resurrection and the Religious Spirit
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. Maria was the first client that manifested this problem. For a year, I did not realize that Maria 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 misunderstood 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.
Thirty-four 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, none become saved prior to dealing with the issues of being set free from demons. In some cases, the religious demon is so entrenched in the person, that it must be cast out first so that the person can believe in the resurrection. 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? Afterall, 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 un-deceived through counseling. 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. So I continue to train other ministers “to do what I do.” 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 does His 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.
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. Inch by inch, 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.”
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, informed 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.
