Human Coverings? I don’t think so.

There has been much teaching about human “coverings” within the church. When I look at certain ”leaders” who have set themselves up as those we are somehow suppose to respect more than just the ordinary pew sitter or whatever, I get angry and sick inside.

I’ve been rididculed, put down, called names, cast off on the side lines until I learned to submit, told I was rebellious, told I was unteachable, religious or had demons—all because I dared to question some things. I’m not the only one. A lot of you have gone through the same thing.

In all honesty, I am a rebel at heart and I know rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. I do not think rebellion is cute or some small matter. But, if I ever sense someone is trying to manipulate me in one way or another, I will dig my heels in and obstinately refuse what man wants me to do. That too, is witchcraft on their part and I will not allow that kind of witchcraft in my life from anyone.  

God knows I tried to submit to authority within church wherever I was at the time. One reason was just looking for that sense of camrederie. I was willing to follow if the leader knew what he was doing and where he was going. But, it never worked; meaning, I just could not keep my mouth shut with things I sensed were wrong doctrine or things going on.

I was in one church who had a special speaker. The speaker stood up telling the congregation that he was counseling a man and the Lord told him to turn that man over his knee and give him a spanking! WHAT???? And I was not allowed to question that?! I don’t think so.  

More than once I heard the passive sugary line, “Just pray about things.” Meaning–keep your mouth shut. Uh well, that is fine and dandy and God knows I did a lot of praying back then. But there comes a time when you must speak out or else the whole church ends up being led astray. Simply put, I was not going to jump through hoops for no man or program. I could not and do not have to prove anything to anybody.

My friends, it took me years to get over this kind of thing. Literally it took years to get over the rejection of those who consider themselves better than I. Those who considered themselves the enlightened ones because they had some new revelation or were following a new teaching of one I quesioned. Those whom I was suppose to sit at their feet and swallow everything they said or did as if Jesus Himself were speaking through them. Most of the time He was not. 

I have learned I do not have to sit at the feet of man, because I have the greatest teacher of all. Jesus Christ. Do I get it right all the time? Never, but one thing I know; Jesus will never lead me astray. He is the only One worthy of me swallowing His every word.

See, with Jesus I do not have to worry about Him manipulating me through some worship music and judging me if I don’t hoot and holler and run a round like the rest of the sheeple. (I have often wondered how many of those people were actually trying to impress the pastor) I don’t have to worry about Jesus thinking my husband is not spiritual if my husband worships quietly in the silence of his heart. (More marriages are ruined because of that kind of thing; when a woman starts comparing her husband to the pastor–I’ve seen it more than once. I’ve seen marriages break up on account of it.) I don’t have to worry if I’m making a good impresion on the preacher or those within the body. Frankly, I just don’t care.

It took me years to get to this point. Many many years and months of lonliness and rejection can take a toll on you. BUT, it was God Who never left me. It was God whose fellowhip I had. It was His voice I learned to hear in the quietness of my bed at night. Sometimes I didn’t like what He had to say. Like when He started telling me to forgive those who had hurt me. That one took some time, but He is faithful and it has been his grace that has brought me this far.

I am accountable to God and God alone. I make myself accountable to my husband for the simple fact that I took my marriage vow seriously in “obeying him.” Sometimes not an easy one just because our personalities are so different. But never-the-less, because I know he loves me like Christ loves the church and that his heart for me is good, therefore I am able to submit. There are some on this blog–you know who you are–who I also trust your heart for me. From such I would never shut the door on a rebuke or correction. Simply because I know your heart for me is good and not of evil and manipulation.

So for anyone out there who may be struggling on account of coming out of false doctrine or some church that has abused you, know this: Jesus is the good Shepherd. No one else ever died for you, let alone pay the penalty for your sin. No one on this whole earth is worthy of your admiration and devotion like He is. He loves you with a jealous love. His desire for you is good and not for evil. He longs to know you during this time greater than you can know. Trust in Him and truly cast all your cares upon HIM for He cares for you. Trust Him now. Especially now, because the day is coming when no man, teaching, doctrine or church will sustain you. Only Jesus can and will.

“Touch not my annointed” got her banned

Our sister FaithandReasons from youtube has had some of her videos removed because she is a truth speaker and not a compromiser. She explains here:

LIARS: Patricia King and Josh Mills, ‘Signs and Wonders.’

I say the following video is a lie.

PK claims blue sapphire and diamond glitter came in their midst. The clip of them all together starts at about 1:20. They all are laughing. Makes me wonder what are they laughing about. Perhaps at the thought of making fools out of those who believe this nonsense?

At approximately 2:18 into the video a woman comes up to JM. She reaches out gingerly to touch his sleeve. He looks a little unsettled. Could it be he is afraid of being found out the ‘Sapphire’ glitter is nothing more than a cheap parlor trick?

At 2:40, his hands are ‘dripping oil’ over two glasses. His hands are clenced. Notice how the camera pans away and then comes back in. His hands are opened. Wha la, nothing up the ol’ sleeve, huh, Josh?

PK says, “Heavenly signs of sapphire, just like it says in the Bible.” No, PK, the Bible says nothing of heavenly signs of sapphire coming to the earth. Once again you twist the word of God to suit your own delusions.

“Just a little glimpse of what we have happen at our meetings.”

Even if this stuff was true–which I have no reason to believe is–God does not honor lies and deceptions. We are told false signs and wonders church will come in the endtimes. Why should I believe this?

She says at one point in trying to describe something, “I wonder if I got this story right.” Yeah, a lot of us wonder that!

The signs “made them want to worship.” I just have to say here, church, that we have precious brothers and sisters the world over, who are in prison and suffering for the true faith. They worship God WITHOUT these signs and wonders!

“I just wanted to worship God.” Which God, PK, are you actually worshipping by not being truthful?

She asks JM, “Did the Lord tell you to come and release angels in my house?” Of course he humbly said yes.

I would not want these people coming to my house trying to release anything!

She says near the end, “some people get so upset about these things.” I wonder why? Could it be because we know you are lying and are deceiving so many!

“The signs make me want to worship Him.” There you have it, church. Their reason for these fake signs and wonders. Their purpose is to help set up God in their image. Therefore bringing in another Jesus for us to all to worship. I will NOT bow down to their Jesus!

Oh, and for a small price you can buy “the DVDS and SEE all the sapphire GLITTER and diamond GLITTER.” Yes that is right, cheap glitter you can buy at any craft store!

“Woah” as she starts making her sale pitch to manipulate you.

“I’m getting a download right now” And she laughs. She laughs because she knows she has made fools of those who believe this nonsense and what does she get for it? MONEY!

Joseph Farrah: Jesus was no socialist

Article from Joseph Farah gotten here:

http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=107167

I don’t watch MSNBC much.

But people send me video clips from the cable network – and, occasionally, I’m tempted by the subject matter to take a look.

So when a friendly reader sent me a commentary by Ed Schultz explaining why all Christians had a duty to support nationalized health care, I couldn’t resist.

Frankly, I didn’t think the stupidity and arrogance of television commentators could surprise me anymore. I was wrong. Very wrong. This guy Schultz makes Keith Olbermann look like a sober, well-informed intellectual by comparison.

But enough from me, for now – watch this for yourself.

Is this guy serious? I had to pinch myself. If I were putting together a “Saturday Night Live” skit mocking cable news punditry, I couldn’t do any better than this guy.

He thinks Jesus was a socialist. He thinks because Jesus healed the sick and fed the hungry and commanded his followers to do likewise, he actually wanted government to do that job.

It wasn’t Jesus who was the socialist, it was the man who betrayed him – Judas Iscariot. And I will prove it to you.

Read John 12:1-8:

“Then Jesus six days before the passover came to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been dead, whom he raised from the dead. There they made him a supper; and Martha served: but Lazarus was one of them that sat at the table with him. Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the house was filled with the odour of the ointment.

“Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which should betray him, Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor? This he said, not that he cared for the poor; but because he was a thief, and had the bag, and bare what was put therein.

“Then said Jesus, Let her alone: against the day of my burying hath she kept this. For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.”

Note that Jesus was not a proponent of “the Great Society” or the “War on Poverty.” He preached to individuals to heal the sick, feed the hungry and help the poor. But he never suggested in any way, shape or form that this was the proper role of government. This was the role of the church – the duty of the individual believer.

Jesus said: “For the poor always ye have with you; but me ye have not always.”

And note Judas’ phony, non-righteous indignation about the wastefulness of pouring the expensive ointment on Jesus’ feet: “Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence, and given to the poor?”

Does this sound familiar? Doesn’t it sound remarkably like Ed Schultz’s whining?

But Judas didn’t care about the poor, John tells us. He was a thief. He was the guy who held the moneybag. He wanted to see his own power increased by the sale of someone else’s private property – just like the modern-day socialists who don’t care about the poor and sick, but use them to increase their own standing.

No, Ed Schultz, Jesus was not a socialist. He was not a proponent of socialized medicine. He was certainly not in favor of people trusting in government. He was a proponent of people putting their faith in God and acting responsibly.

The ideas being promoted by Ed Schultz, MSNBC, Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress are anathema to Jesus. They are antithetical to the Bible.

In fact, most of the ideas of Ed Schultz, MSNBC, Barack Obama and the Democratic Congress are anathema to Jesus and antithetical to the Bible.

Is this suppose to make us feel good?!

Rev. Rob Schenck of Faith and Action in Washington, DC, anoints the doors of the hearing room in the US Senate Hart Building where beginning July 13, 2009 the Judiciary Committee questions Sonia Sotomayor.

What is this suppose to be about? Somethng to appease us Chrisitans? He said, “May truth prevail in all things.” What a farce this is. He could have poured a bucket of oil all over the joint and it still would have been a vile place of manipulations, deceptions and lies! The only spirit of truth that prevailed during that session was when brave republicans came out and quesioned that woman. They were silenced by the opposition.

This is just another example of the great delusion coming upon the earth. We are suppose to believe that what happened that day was Gods’ will for this country? As if it were some holy thing? It may have been God’s will as this nation is vile and wicked and vile and wicked people lead it so America gets what it deserves. But do not think for one moment that God has His stamp of approval on this woman as some great judge! She is as corrupt as all of Washington! And the man doing the “annointing”? Just another deceiver in my eyes!

Shep Smith is another media whore!

How dare Shep Smith compare patriots to the killer of George Tiller! How dare him! I noticed a few years back, Smith was in bed with the liberals. Fox news would do well to get rid of him. He distorts for his own gain. He has no true back bone. He is a compromiser and ann appeaser. One who loves to be loved by men.

People, we can not trust some of them. We have to learn to discern and read between the lines. Deception and manipulation is everywhere!

How dare YOU Shep Smith to ridicule the American people with their concerns! How dare you, you media whore!
