Trayvon Martin and the Roman Catholic Takeover of America

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

racheljeantel

Most, who have followed the Trayvon Martin affair, have no idea that it is part of the Roman Catholic Takeover of America.  But it is.  

When I viewed Pierce Morgan’s interview with Trayvon’s girlfriend, Rachel Jeantel, I had to know what, if anything, of substance she had to say. Until I saw the interview, I had wondered why the media were giving so much press to this unfortunate girl. You see, Trayvon’s dead, and he’s not coming back. Zimmerman was acquitted, and we can’t change that. So, knowing that the media always wants us to look left when we should be looking right, I wondered, “Why Rachel Jeantel, and why now?”

Then I heard her say that Trayvon called George Zimmerman a “creepy…cracka,” and that there was nothing wrong with the word “crack-a.” Then I knew: this girl is on a mission. Jeantel differentiated “crack-a” (with an “a” ending) from “crack-er” (with an “er” ending), saying that while the latter is a racist term, the former is just Miami street speak. She also said that there is nothing wrong with the word “nigga” for the same reason.

Rachel Jeantel’s “hood wisdom” combined with the fact that she used a Cult of Mary hand sign (the index, middle, and ring fingers held together and the pinky finger separated) several times during the interview, convinced me that this terribly deceived young lady is a hired gun for the Roman Catholic church and other forces that want to widen the racial divide in America and bring us closer to our own destruction.

The message of Rachel Jeantel is that if it is OK for blacks to call whites “crackers,” then it is OK for whites to call blacks “niggers.” Now you can argue semantics all you want, but you had better understand that a great portion of the population has deviant tendencies, and a great many of these people are directly affected by what they see on television. These very people will be in the streets openly calling each other “crackers” and “niggers.” Why? Because Rachel Jeantel said it was OK.

Question: Who is Rachel Jeantel?

Answer: A “celebrity.”

Question: Why should we seriously consider anything she says?

Answer: Because she’s a “celebrity.”

If you think I’m being facetious, you should read the following comments from an article discussing this very subject. The last comment is of particular interest. Read the original article and the comment here.

 

Convinced?

Now we know why the media have made Rachel Jeantel a celebrity. They have made her the official spokesperson for black America, and this spokesperson says that it’s okay to say, “nigger” and “cracker,” if you “put an ‘a’ on it.” The “Reverend” Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should have held press conferences thirty minutes after the interview, to quickly denounce Jeantel. But they won’t, because, in the words of Malcolm X, they all “have the same paymaster.”

Think about this very carefully, because if it is okay to say, “nigger” (okay, “nigga”) and “cracker” (okay, “cracka”), then, it’s okay to say “chink,” “gook,” “spick,” “deigo,” and any other racial term we feel is appropriate. All we have to do is add an “a” to the end of it. Or any other vowel, in fact; for Ms. Jeantel referred to Asians as “chino niggas.”

If we had not been so desensitized to violence and crude hateful language by the Hollywood Motion Picture and entertainment industries, which produces “hip hop” music, we would be enflamed by this development. That many of us are not, however, is a litmus test of our own depravity.

The black community especially had better wake up to what is going on. This trend toward racial slurring being promoted by Jeantel and many Blacks is not appreciated by many other ethnic groups. Blacks appear to many in the world as problematic. Blacks are being painted as separatists and are seen by many as pampered, spoiled, arrogant, unappreciative, self-righteous, and–believe it or not–racist. It will come to pass that not only will certain whites want to see blacks out of the way, but virtually every other ethnic group as well. In the present media-fueled, but totally bogus, climate of world harmony, blacks are being made to look the dissemblers. It will come to pass that when the “final solution” is proposed, no one–BUT NO ONE–will stand up for us.

It is too late for me to say, “Wake up America,” for we have been asleep for far too long and have become accustomed to blissful slumber. Therefore, I will simply say what Jesus said, when He could not get His disciples to stay awake and keep watch:

“Sleep on!” (Matthew 26:45).

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

New Columbia and the Roman Catholic Takeover of America

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Roman Catholic "Patriotic Flag"

In the book, Ravening Wolves, author and Christian evangelist, Monica Ferrell, gives us the blueprint for the Roman Catholic takeover of a nation. As you may recall, this takeover happens in three phases: Phase One is a general call to prayer wherein Roman Catholics consecrate a particular country to their Virgin Mary. In Phase Two, The Roman Catholic church actually dedicates the country to Mary. Finally, in Phase Three, the Roman Catholics wage a “holy warfare” to possess the country that they have claimed.

Phase Three is being implemented in the United States of America, as a holy warfare is in progress and nearing fruition. The Roman Catholic church has already claimed America for its own, and is about to possess it outright. This will become evident very soon.

Phase Three happens in four steps. The first step is for an independent Roman Catholic state to be declared. This happened in Yugoslavia during WWII, when the Independent State of Croatia was formed. I originally theorized that one of America’s independent cities: Carson City, NV; St. Louis, MO; or Baltimore, MD could declare itself an independent state, but I was careful to point out that Washington, D.C., the District of Columbia, is also an independent city. Given that D.C. is already the seat of the national government, which displayed its Roman Catholic flavor in no uncertain terms during the re-inaugurations of President Obama and Vice President Biden, the District of Columbia could quite possibly become the Independent State of Columbia.

This possibility became a probability when, while perusing proposed bills at the Government Printing Office website, I happened upon H.R. 292, the “New Columbia Admission Act”:

hr292

Click here for the full text of the bill.

New Columbia is the proposed name for what is presently known as Washington, D.C., and will encompass essentially the same area. The District of Columbia statehood movement has been rolling along for quite some time. But, with this bill, it is almost certain to become a reality. So certain, in fact, that the U.S. Army Institute of Heraldry has already designed a proposed national flag featuring 51 stars:

Proposed flag of 51 stars

Proposed flag of 51 stars

According to Ferrell, Step Three of Phase Three, is for the government of the newly formed Roman Catholic state to issue a notice that only Roman Catholics may serve in government. With the formation of New Columbia, the stage will be set for this to happen in America. For the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, sits in Washington, D.C.

basilicaimmconcept1

At the basilica’s dedication, a prayer was read by a Roman Catholic bishop dedicating the United States to the Virgin Mary.

In a pictorial calendar of Washington, D.C. which I got from the visitor’s center over eleven years ago, there was a photo of the Basilica. The caption underneath the photo read, “A church for national purposes.” That the basilica is called the “National Shrine” indicates that it is a national church. And, in that it is a Roman Catholic church that has been dedicated to a Roman Catholic idol, it is declaring America as a Roman Catholic country.

In fact, “Our Lady of America,” is a movement to place the Virgin Mary, under the title of “Our Lady of America,” in that basilica.  At least that is what the Roman Catholic church says.  But I believe that the real goal is to place “Our Lady of America,” the Roman Catholic idol called the Virgin Mary, in the White House.

You must understand that the Roman Catholic church is a theocracy, and the Roman Catholic pope purports to be the final authority in all matters, secular or religious.  As far as the Roman Catholic church is concerned, there is no separation of church and state.  The church is the state.  It only stands to reason, then, that the Vatican would place their idol in the White House, as a signal to the world that the Roman Catholic church has conquered America.

ourladyofamerica8x10-300

When last we checked, “Our Lady of America” was located in a church right next to the White House, supposedly on its way to the National Shrine.

In a country that boasts separation of church and state, the Roman Catholic church has been quietly, subtly, but oh so steadily portraying itself as the spiritual head of the United States. And at no time was that made clearer than at the inauguration of Vice President Joe Biden, a Roman Catholic, whose benediction was administered by a Roman Catholic priest, while his oath of office was administered by Roman Catholic Supreme Court Associate Judge Sonya Sotomayor.

Here is what we wrote about this week last year (it was a very slow week):

Deceitful Workers: Eddie Murphy

Many consider Eddie Murphy the greatest black comedian ever: even better than Richard Prior.  He is called a ground breaker, and is credited with paving the way for other black comedians, like Arsenio Hall and Martin Lawrence.  What few understand, however, is that Eddie Murphy was and is part of the occult agenda to destroy biblical morality in the United States.  Read about it.

Question: Why Does America Hate Abraham Lincoln?

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

abelincolnquicken Grace and peace, Saints.

Have you ever noticed that of all the American personalities, famous and infamous, that have been spoofed in the media, President Abraham Lincoln has been abused probably more than any other?  Have you ever wondered why?  

Lincoln was the President during arguably the most turbulent time in the history of this country.  And he managed to both hold the Union together and end slavery, eventually making the supreme sacrifice for his efforts.  You would think that he would be held as highly in esteem as Ghandi or the Dhali Lama.  

Yet, no other President has been more abused and belittled in the media.

What Is A Testimony, And Why Do I Need One? Part 2

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Grace and peace, Saints.

Part 2 of our discussion on the Christian testimony deals with the types of testimony.

Opinions may vary on the types of testimony, but, in my experience, there are essentially four: the conversion testimony, the testimony of Christian experience, the testimony of victory or spiritual warfare testimony, and the testimony of persecution. Though they all share certain elements, each is unique and serves an important purpose.

The Conversion Testimony

This is arguably the most important type of testimony, as it best demonstrates the changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The conversion testimony is an account of the circumstances under which the Christian came into a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ and how that knowledge saved his life.  

An important feature of this testimony is a general description of the unrepentant sinner before his conversion, and often includes his behavior, his speech, his actions and beliefs, and his worldview.  The conversion testimony underscores the lost condition of the unrepentant sinner and contrasts that person with the “new man” who has been washed by the blood of Jesus:

 

“Ye have put off the old man with his deeds,

“And have put on the new man, which is renewed in knowledge after the image of Him that created Him” (Colossians 3:9-10).

 

 The purpose of the conversion testimony is to confirm 2 Corinthians 5:17, which speaks of the New Birth:

 

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold: all things are become new.”

 

God can change anybody, no matter who they are or what they have done. This is important, because some people have come to believe that their sins are so bad that God would never forgive them.

Once, for example, I witnessed to a lady who had had an abortion as a young girl. She wanted to come to Jesus, but she felt so terrible for having murdered her innocent child, that she felt totally unworthy of being saved. She couldn’t even bring herself to come before the presence of the Lord Jesus, let alone fall at His feet and ask forgiveness.  There are many Christian women who have been through this same thing and can testify that Jesus will forgive all sin: no matter how terrible; for the Bible says,

 

 “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

 

 There is no sin so terrible that God will not forgive it, save the unpardonable sin, which no true lover of Jesus Christ can or will commit. With forgiveness comes peace, as our conscience will no longer be under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. This type of peace can only come through salvation.

The conversion testimony also helps to confirm our identity as Christians: something that is terribly important in this present age of apostasy. Jesus warned us in Matthew Chapter 24 that the last days would be characterized by widespread deception, especially in the Christian community. This prophecy has been fulfilled as no other time in history has seen so many false prophets and false ministries dotting the Christian landscape as has the present.

If one listens closely, one may discern that many false prophets have a dubious conversion testimony. This is because they are really not trusting in the blood of Jesus for their salvation, and therefore have no real testimony of change. Again, Angelica Zambrano’s testimony readily comes to mind. Zambrano testifies that shortly after her conversion, she became disillusioned with Christianity, because none of her friends were Christians. She therefore abandoned the faith and returned to her old ways, which were sinful, by her own admission. It was only after spending years in this wicked lifestyle that Zambrano had her encounter with “Jesus” in Hell, after having never really experienced a change in her life.

It is this message of change: the transformative power of the Gospel, that people really need to hear. Many, for instance, mistakenly believe that they must first “get themselves together”: that is, try to change themselves, before they can come to the Lord Jesus. But because they have tried so hard and so often to change and have failed, they have come to believe they can never change. Consequently, they never make a decision for Jesus Christ. Others, such as those who are into astrology, believe that a person can never change, because each person’s personality is immutable and is determined by under what astrological sign he was born.

What these people really need is our testimony of the changing power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. There are many who name the name of Christ who were once murderers, child molesters, extortionists, kidnappers, witches, idolaters, Satanists, homosexuals, drug dealers, drug addicts, alcoholics, the list goes on and on. All have been radically transformed by the blood of Jesus and can testify to the power of a Risen Savior to change anyone. As the saying goes, “Know Jesus, know change: no Jesus, no change.”

 

Testimony Of Christian Experience (TCE)

The testimony of Christian experience generally applies to our Christian walk after salvation.  When we stand up in church and testify to what Jesus has done for us and what He has brought us through, we are giving this type of testimony. The TCE demonstrates the operation of God in the life of the average Christian and demonstrates the keeping power of Jesus and His ability to empower the Christian to meet life’s daily challenges with the power of the Holy Ghost.  

Most of us are familiar with this type of testimony. Sadly, it is seldom correctly used, if at all. Most often, it is either overused until it is no longer relevant, or misused altogether. This is unfortunate, as the TCE not only has the potential to move an unsaved person to repentance, but to encourage and edify the body of Christ.

When a church service, for example, is dry and lifeless, a moving testimony can ignite the service and get the Spirit moving in the congregation. When there is a spirit of ingratitude in a church service, one merely testifying of how God woke him up in the morning and caused the sun to shine on his face may be enough to make everyone realize just how blessed they are just to have been able to put one foot in front of the other and walk into church.

The TCE is often underrated, as many feel that it is only for older people and those who are going through a hard time.  They feel that if everything is fine in their lives, then they need not testify.  But as we have just seen, this is incorrect.

 

Testimony of Victory or Spiritual Warfare Testimony

Our testimony can also be a powerful weapon of spiritual warfare.  As the “accuser of the brethren,” Satan knows he has lost the battle for our souls. So he tries to get us to sin by throwing various temptations at us designed to accomplish several things. One of those things is to get us to react in a way that is not Christian. If Satan succeeds, he then tries to make us believe that if we were really saved, we would not have sinned against the Lord.  He tells us that we are the same person we always were and that we haven’t changed and will never change.

If we don’t know the Word of God, we can be deceived into believing this lie.  But if we are aware of the Apostle Paul’s testimony in Romans Chapter 7, then we know that at times Paul was unable to do the things he wanted, while he did things he didn’t want to do. But Paul didn’t let this destroy his testimony. He knew that although his spirit had been cleansed of the filth of sin, as long as he lived in a body born in sin and shaped in iniquity, he would be unable to stop sinning altogether.

Another thing Satan hopes to accomplish is to discourage us, steal our joy, and rob us of the victory we have in Christ Jesus. Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), and, as such, God has given him a certain amount of authority over this world and over our lives. As God allowed Satan to touch all that Job had, so can He also allow Satan to touch our jobs, our finances, our marriages, our relationships with family and friends, and even our health. And as Satan hoped that by taking all that Job had he would cause Job to blaspheme God, so does Satan hope to do the same with us. He hopes that while we are in a vulnerable and spiritually weakened state, he can tempt us to lose confidence in our salvation—perhaps even to the point of renouncing God.

When we testify to having passed through these trials and having emerged with our faith intact, we glorify the Lord Jesus and confirm the truth of the Bible, which says that Jesus is able to keep us from falling (Jude 1:24).

 

Testimony of Persecution

This type of testimony is rare in Western churches. In fact, I’ve never even heard anyone give such a testimony. But I’m sure that Christians who live in countries openly hostile to the Gospel hear this testimony quite frequently, as Christians in these countries are often regularly persecuted and martyred for their faith.

The Apostle Paul testifies several times of persecution in his epistles to the church at Corinth. An examination of these testimonies reveals the circumstances under which we should give our testimony of persecution and our purpose for giving it.

Paul’s testimony of 1 Corinthians 4, proves that the Apostles suffered persecution so that men would not believe them to be anything other than ordinary men:

 

“And these things, brethren, I have in a figure transferred to myself and to Apollos for your sakes; that ye might learn in us not to think of men above that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up for one against another.

“For I think that God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death: for we are made a spectacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 

 

He then delivers the following testimony: 

 

“We are fools for Christ’s sake, but ye are wise in Christ; we are weak, but ye are strong: ye are honorable, but we are despised.

 “Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place. 

 

It is clear that Paul does not give this testimony to complain about his suffering, but, rather, to underscore that those who are in positions of authority often suffer more intense persecution than the average Christian. Likewise, when pastors, evangelists, missionaries, and others on the front lines in this spiritual warfare give their testimony, they should do so not to attempt to prove themselves above others, but to demonstrate that God does not regard mens’ persons. Those who receive a special commission of God often suffer proportionally.

What Paul says next confirms Matthew 5:44, wherein Jesus tells us to bless them who persecute us. His testimony is an excellent example of what the Christian attitude ought to be in the face of persecution:

 

“Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it: being defamed, we entreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things until this day.” 

 

In 2 Corinthians 4:5-10, Paul’s testimony demonstrates that the Apostles suffered persecution so that through their weakness, the power of God may be seen in them, and that it might be clear that it was God doing the work, and not them:

 

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.”

 

Paul then goes on to demonstrate that though we are persecuted, we are not completely destroyed:

 

“We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed,

 “We are perplexed, but not in despair,

 “Persecuted, but not forsaken,

 “Cast down, but not destroyed.”

 

Paul next explains that our persecution is a picture of Jesus’ suffering: 

 

“Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus may be made manifest in our body.

“For we which live are always delivered unto death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.”

 

Jesus said, “The servant is not greater than his master.” As Jesus suffered, so shall we suffer.

Lastly, in 2 Corinthians 11:23-27, Paul testifies to being persecuted, because some doubted his apostleship. This is important in the present day, as we see many in the Church doubting the calling of many genuine, sincere, and effective servants of Christ. Many believe, for instance, that if one is truly called of God, then he should always be prosperous, healthy, and enjoying all the trappings of “success.” They falsely believe that because we worship an All-Powerful God, our material lives should reflect it, and they doubt the authenticity of those Christians who are scratching out a living, or are frequently ill, believing them to be living outside the will of God. Again, a relative of mine, who is a pastor, believes that a true Christian has “the right in Christ never to be sick.”

But we know from the Bible that the pastor, Timothy, was often ill (1 Timothy 5:23) as were others in the Church. Epaphroditus was deathly ill because he worked so hard to care for the church (Philippians 2:26). And Paul himself suffered a physical ailment which he believed was sent of Satan but allowed by God (2 Corinthians 12:7-10).

It is also believed that if one is walking in the will of God, he should enjoy favor with those outside the church.  But Paul says just the opposite: 

 

“Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.

“Thrice I was beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep:

“In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren.

“In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness…” 

 

Clearly, there is a great dichotomy between Paul’s definition of the Christian life and that of many preachers today.

It is also popularly held that Christians should enjoy favor with those in political power, and this seems to be the case with Billy Graham, T.D. Jakes, Joel Olsteen, Creflo Dollar, and others.  Few, however, if any, of these people are Godly.

The Bible says that friendship with the world is enmity with God.  A true God-fearing man, who speaks the truth, will not enjoy popularity with many in power.  The Bible says that there is spiritual wickedness “in high places” (Ephesians 6:12).  That means that many in the seats of government neither worship nor respect the Lord Jesus Christ.  

John the Baptist was beheaded by King Herod because he dared speak against Herod for marrying his brother’s wife.  Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, sought the life of Elisha, the prophet, because he spoke out and took action against idolatry.

Like these, Paul had his share of problems with those in political power, and testified to the same:

 

“In Damascus, the governor under Aretas, the king, kept the city of the Damascenes with a garrison, desirous to apprehend me:

“And through a window in a basket was I let down by the wall, and escaped his hands.” 

 

It is interesting that Paul would list persecution as one of his qualifications for being an apostle. In fact, one could argue that Paul believed it to be his chief qualification. You may recall that in Philippians 3:10, Paul said that to know Jesus is to know “the fellowship of His sufferings.”

Paul’s second epistle to the Thessalonians reinforces this. In Chapter 1 (vv. 4-5) he writes this: 

 

“[W]e ourselves glory in you in the churches of God for your patience and faith in all your persecutions and tribulations that ye endure:

 

“Which is a manifest token of the righteous judgment of God, that ye may be counted worthy of the kingdom of God, for which ye also suffer.” 

 

It is clear that Paul believes persecution for the faith to be the greatest evidence of our faithfulness to Jesus. It stands to reason, therefore, that a person who calls himself a Christian, but has not suffered persecution for the faith, is not truly living a holy and sanctified life. When you say yes to Jesus, you say no to the world and all the lusts that are of the world. And the moment you say no to the world, the world will turn against you. I’m a witness. 

It is important to note that Paul says only after a Christian has suffered for the faith can he be counted worthy to enter heaven. This ought to give those Christians out there who are enjoying favor with those outside the church reason to pause.

There is not one man of God in the Bible who did not suffer persecution to some degree. Happily, Jesus said that those who suffer persecution for His name’s sake are most blessed:

 

“Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and separate you from their company, and reproach you, and cast our your name as evil for the Son of man’s sake:

“Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy; for behold: great is your reward in heaven: for in the like manner did their fathers unto the prophets” (Matthew 6:22).

What Is A Testimony, And Why Do I Need One? Part 1

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Grace and peace, believers. 

Today we begin the first in a three-part discussion on the Christian testimony.

For many twenty-first century Christians, their testimony is arguably the least considered, the least understood, the least used, and the least appreciated aspect of their Christian experience.  This is most evidenced by the lack of testimonies given on Sunday.  Back when the Christian church was strong in America, especially the black churches, a portion of the Sunday service was always dedicated to sharing testimonies. Christians were so eager to give their testimony that, oftentimes, at least a half hour would be spent on that portion of the service alone.

Sadly, this is no longer the case.  Nowadays, folks can’t wait for the service to end so that they can go home and fire up the grill, watch the football game, or go fishing.  Most churches I have visited over the past five years won’t even hear testimonies.  And in the precious few churches where testimonies were encouraged, less than a handful of the brethren would even bother to give theirs.  Of the few that would, there was bound to be at least one who would take fifteen minutes or more to deliver a totally unedifying account of their workweek, featuring an encounter with an adversarial co-worker or neighbor whom they rebuked with “Get thee behind me Satan!  You not gon’ steal my VICK-TRAY!!!” [sigh].

I have heard only a handful of testimonies in the eight years since I accepted the Lord Jesus as my personal Savior, and only a couple were truly edifying or encouraging. Of the less than edifying testimonies, the most notable was an obvious case of plagiarism, as a woman appropriated the Apostle Paul’s account of having been taken up to the third heaven.  Only, whereas Paul saw things he wasn’t allowed to talk about, this lady was all too happy to tell what she saw: and none of if was biblical.  Another questionable testimony was given by one of my in-laws, a pastor, who says he has never gotten sick since he realized that it was his right as a Christian never to get sick again.  Never mind that the Bible gives ample evidence to refute this belief.

Genuine, edifying testimonies that edify and encourage the body of Christ, confirm the Word of God, and glorify the Lord Jesus are almost a thing of the past.  Many Christians don’t even have a testimony, while still others don’t even know what a testimony is. This is a tragedy, because our testimony is second only to the Word of God in terms of importance.  In fact, if everything else were taken away from us: our house, our job, our clothes, our car, and our Bible, the only thing we would have left would be our testimony. 

Without question, the Christian’s testimony is vitally Important.

The purpose of this teaching is to explain:

  1. What a testimony is
  2. What a testimony does
  3. Types of testimony and their significance
  4. Why so many Christians lack a testimony
  5. Why you need a testimony
  6. How you can get a testimony (or get it back)
  7. How to protect your testimony

WHAT A TESTIMONY IS

 

The Oxford English Dictionary defines testimony as 1. “Evidence or proof provided by the existence or appearance of something” and 2. “A public recounting of a religious conversion or experience.”

The word testimony is derived from the Latin testis, which means “a witness.” In a court of law, a witness is someone who has seen and/or heard something pertaining to a particular event and is willing to testify, or give his account, of what he has seen or heard. The Christian’s testimony, also called his witness, is his personal account of what the Lord Jesus has done and is doing in His life.

WHAT A TESTIMONY DOES

 

A good testimony establishes the truth. 

In a court of law, the witness’s testimony helps to establish the truth, by validating the testimony of others who claim to have seen the same thing. Likewise, the Christian’s testimony also helps to establish the truth, by confirming the testimony of the Bible and of its Author, the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says that by two or three witnesses the truth of a matter shall be established (Deuteronomy 19:15). Though the Bible stands alone as the ultimate source of truth and, therefore, does not need our testimony, our testimony is still called upon to witness the truth of the Bible. Christians are called to be witnesses for Jesus Christ, who is “The Truth” (John 14:6). The Christian, therefore, who does not have a testimony, in effect, calls Jesus Christ a liar. 

 

A good testimony establishes our credibility. 

In a court of law, the witness’s testimony establishes his credibility as well as the credibility of the person(s) on whose behalf he testifies. If the witness’s testimony is credible, then one may believe the witness and, therefore, anyone for whom he testifies. Conversely, if the witness’s testimony is not credible, then he will not be believed, and the credibility of anyone for whom he testifies will ultimately be called into question. 

Likewise, our testimony establishes our credibility and that of the Person for whom we testify: the Lord Jesus Christ. If our testimony can be believed, then the testimony of Jesus Christ can also be believed. If, however, our testimony cannot be believed, then the credibility of the Lord Jesus will also be called into question.

The measure of our credibility is the Holy Bible. If Scripture does not validate our testimony, then our testimony should not be believed, and we should be rejected as a false witness for Jesus Christ. The Bible says, “Let God be true, but every man a liar” (Romans 3:4). God never lies. So, while our testimony may be rejected, Jesus should not be.

An example of a testimony that should be rejected is that of Angelica Zambrano, an Ecuadorian woman, who claims to have died and to have gone to Hell, where she met the Lord Jesus Christ. Because Jesus’ parable of the rich man and Lazarus in Luke 16:31 makes it clear that He would not send anyone from Hell to testify of its existence, Angelica Zambrano should be rejected as a false prophet, and her testimony should be likewise rejected, because it contradicts the words of Jesus.

 

A good testimony confirms Scripture.

Our testimony should confirm the testimony of the Bible and validate its truth. The Christian’s testimony of change, for example, confirms 2 Corinthians 5:17 which speaks of the New Birth. 

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold all things are become new.”

Our testimony of enduring various trials and persecution for our faith confirms numerous passages of Scripture that testify that persecution is part of the Christian experience. Jesus said:

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you” (John 15:18).

Additionally, our testimony of perseverance in the face of persecution confirms 1 Corinthians 10:13,which says:

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.”

 

A good testimony confirms the attributes of God.

God has many personal qualities, or attributes, which tell us something about His nature. A good testimony confirms what the Bible says about God’s personality.

The very fact that we even have a testimony proves one very important thing about God: that although He is Sovereign, God is not so aloof that He is out of touch with His creation. God condescends to our level so that He can relate to us:

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:

“But made himself of no reputation, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:”

“And, being found in fashion as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross” (Philippians 2:5-8).

One passage of Scripture that speaks to this is Hebrews 6:13,17:

“When God made promise to Abraham, because He could swear by no greater, He sware by himself…willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel.”

God did not have to swear anything to sinful man, for we lie, but God always tells the truth. God did this for us because He loves us, and He wants to prove it. This is extremely important, for much of the world believes that God is so far removed from his creation that he could not possibly be interested in the daily affairs of men.

The Christian who testifies that Jesus comforted him during a difficult time, confirms that Jesus is the “God of all Comfort” (2 Corinthians 1:3) and “an ever present help in time of trouble” (Psalm 46:1). 

The Christian who testifies to having been forsaken by friends and family during a dark and lonely time can testify that Jesus “sticks closer than any brother” (Proverbs 18:24).  

And the Christian who has been forgiven much can testify that God is merciful (Exodus 37:6) and that “His mercy endureth forever” (Psalm 107:1).

 

A good testimony provides comfort.

Our testimony can also be a source of comfort to someone going through a difficult time.  Jesus allows us to go through trials for many reasons. Arguably, the most important reason is to enable us to testify of how Jesus brought us through a difficult time. In this way we may be able to console and comfort someone else who is going through similar trials, and thereby give him hope.

The Bible says,

“[Jesus] comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.

“For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.”

Scripture also says, 

“There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man. But God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye should be able to endure it” (1 Corinthians 10:3). 

It is comforting to know that God has placed a limit on what He will allow us to go through. The knowledge that God “will not put more on us that we can bear” will comfort us during times of trial.

 

A good testimony gives hope.

2 Timothy Chapter 3 presents a picture of the lawlessness that would characterize the last days. We are seeing the fruition of this prophecy today, as people are growing colder and more hateful towards one another. All love has seemingly gone out the world. Parents are murdering their children with unprecedented frequency, while children, hardened by years of humanistic public education, have turned against their parents.  Consequently, many parents have given up any hope of ever regaining authority over their children and many children have given up hope that they will ever have a caring and loving relationship with their parents. This hopelessness has caused many to become sullen, despondent, and cynical. 

Moreover, the present financial crisis has left many unemployed and even homeless, while the “lucky” ones are living paycheck to paycheck: their life savings depleted and their retirements put off indefinitely. With a global financial crisis inevitable, many look to the future with dread and apprehension. Substance abuse has increased dramatically as many seek to drown their sorrows in alcohol or self-medicate with drugs in a vain attempt to escape reality.           

The Bible says that the day would come when men’s hearts would fail them for fear of the things that are going to come upon the world. Men will become disillusioned with the things in which they have placed their hope. With the loss of hope, they will lose the will to live.

A person, who has lost hope, needs to know that there’s hope in Jesus Christ. He needs to know that God has promised to always provide for His children and those who have accepted Jesus as their Savior need not fear the future.  Many who name the name of Christ know what it is to be without hope and can testify to the power of a risen Savior to take away fear of the unknown and replace that fear with confidence, security, and joyful anticipation.

Hope is what keeps the Christian grounded:

 

“We have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:

“Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast” (Hebrews 6:18-19).

A good testimony provides encouragement.

In Philippians 1:14, the Apostle Paul writes that the church at Philippi waxed bold after he had been thrown into prison. Prison didn’t quench the fire that was within Paul, and this encouraged and emboldened the brethren. Our testimony of perseverance in the face of manifold temptations may have the same affect on those who see us patiently endure.

Our testimony also encourages us when we are going through various trials. If you don’t have a testimony, you will lack hope and encouragement when hard pressed by the devil.  Jesus said that despite all the tribulation that would come our way, we should be of good cheer because He has overcome the world (John 16:33).  A Christian who doesn’t know this promise will lack encouragement, and will therefore lose hope when Satan comes against him.  A Christian with no hope is a Christian who is leaving in defeat. And a Christian who is living in defeat cannot be used of God.

 

A good testimony is a weapon in spiritual warfare.

In my experience, Satan will orchestrate events in the life of the faithful Christian for the express purpose of beguiling him to react in a way that is improper for a follower of Jesus Christ.  The Bible calls Satan the “accuser of the brethren,” who accuses us before the throne of God day and night (Revelation 12:10). If we are not careful, Satan can tempt us to react in a way that is not Christian, and he can then use this as an opportunity to accuse us before God.  

Satan’s ultimate goal in doing this is to steal our victory.  Satan knows that he has lost the battle for our souls, so he attempts to steal our victory by destroying our testimony of victory.  To do this, Satan influences people to say and do evil things to us for the express purpose of influencing us to react in a way that is not Christian.  We must be particularly vigilant, when things like these happen to us, not to react in a way that brings shame upon the cross of Christ.  

Not only can Satan use our improper reaction as an opportunity to accuse us before God and steal our victory, but he can also use our reaction as a way to turn others off to the Gospel message.  The Bible says that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the spiritual powers of darkness.  People are not our enemies, Satan and his host are.  We must never forget that our enemies are lost and cannot discern their left hand from their right.   They need salvation.  If we react to their persecution in a way that is unloving or uncharitable, we may very well turn them completely off to the gospel message, and, thus, lose any opportunity to win them for Jesus.  

Moreover, we, as Christians are being watched 24/7.  You must understand that most people have no idea what Buddhists actually believe and practice, nor do they know what Hinduism, Mormonism, or most any other religion, actually believes and teaches. Yet, most everyone knows how Christians are supposed to act. They know all about Jesus commanding us to “turn the other cheek,” to love our enemies, and they are all too aware that we are admonished not to “return evil for evil.”  Whether we are justified or not, if we react inappropriately to persecution, we will be accused of being false Christians, and this may give God’s enemies an opportunity to blaspheme His name (2 Samuel 12:14).

We must, therefore, resist the temptation to return evil for evil.  Every time we resist the temptation to act improperly, we add another testimony of victory to our arsenal. And, with each testimony, we not only become stronger and more able to resist Satan’s machinations, but we glorify the Lord Jesus and bring honor to His worthy name. We also prove to ourselves and to the unsaved world that we indeed have the victory over Satan through Jesus Christ. We need only live that victory. 

 

A good testimony helps someone to make a decision

In a court case, the witness’s testimony, combined with the persuasiveness of counsel, helps the jury to reach a decision. Our testimony does the same thing. The Christian’s desire should ultimately be to see the unrepentant sinner brought to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ.  Our hope is that our testimony, combined with the persuasiveness of the Holy Spirit, will bring the person to whom we witness under conviction. And, God willing, while under conviction, he will be moved to repent and ask the Lord Jesus Christ to forgive his sins and become his Lord and Savior.  We want him to make a decision for Jesus Christ.  And, even if he doesn’t make a decision, we want him to at least have the information he needs to make an informed decision.

Christ Is Risen! Yes, He is Risen Indeed!

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

emptytomb1

Happy Resurrection Day, Saints!

Man, are we blessed in this country to be able to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!  Say whatever you will about America, but it is one of the few places in the world where we can say “Christ is Risen!” without fearing for our lives, and this reason alone is enough to call America blessed.

The same cannot be said for many countries. such as Communist Russia, where many have been martyred for their faith.  Still, persecution does not prevent the faithful Russian Christian from saying, “Christos voscres! Da, soversheno voscres!”

America, the 21st century Babylon, is becoming more and more like Communist Russia, and the name of Jesus Christ is becoming more an offense to the pagan masses.  There will come a day when we will not be allowed to utter the name of Jesus in public without consequences.

But thank God that day is not today!

So while we are lifting our hands in praise of the Lord Jesus and celebrating his resurrection, let us thank Him for making it possible for us to celebrate His resurrection openly one more year.

Happy Resurrection Day!

Base Things of the World Hath God Chosen

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Grace and peace, Saints.

You may recall that in our last post I recounted that I met a particular young man on the plane to Hawaii whom I knew was, in reality, one of Satan’s light workers. This young man seemed to be extremely intelligent: as a matter of fact, he seemed to glory in his intelligence; for he spoke at great length on various subjects from aerodynamics to quantum physics.

It is important at this point to add that there was no apparent reason for him to do this, as I know very little about physics, and even told him so. Yet this didn’t stop him from talking. He just went on and on and on. And I couldn’t stop him. Now, Satan did not just send this man to me so that he could show me how smart he was. There was a definite goal to this charade. But, for the life of me, I couldn’t imagine what it could be.

The only thing I could come up with was that Satan hoped to make me feel less intelligent by sending someone to me of seemingly higher intelligence. But, he could never do this. Whatever intelligence I have is the work of God, not me, and if anyone should get the glory, it is the Lord Jesus; for without Him I could do nothing.

I am reminded how Jesus’ persecutors, hearing him teaching the people, marveled, saying, “How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?” (John 7:15). In other words, they were astonished that Jesus spoke so intelligently, having no formal education.

Jesus answered them:

“My doctrine is not mine, but His that sent me” (John 7:16).

These people were and are woefully ignorant of the power of God. If God could make Balaam’s donkey speak, it is a light thing for Him to endue even the most common folk with wisdom and knowledge. This is why the Apostle James says,

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him” (James 1:5).

I also couldn’t help noticing, that for all his seemed knowledge and intelligence, this young man could not believe in the existence of an all-powerful Creator-God.   For all his erudition, he simply could not come to terms with the notion that “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but should have everlasting life” (John 3:16). He could not believe in the notion of faith. He even said that he was not capable of faith, even though I gave him several examples that he made faith-based decisions every single day, not to mention the fact that at that very moment, he was flying in a metal container 20,000 feet above the Pacific Ocean: an act that required a great deal of faith.

Again, I could not help but remember how the Bible says that God bestows knowledge on the very lowest of men, while blinding the eyes of the high and mighty:

“Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

“For ye see your calling brethren how that not many wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:

“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

“And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are:

“That no flesh should glory in His presence” (1 Corinthians 1:25-28).

God exalts the lowly and humble and debased the proud, to the end that when we stand before Him, we shall know that we are nothing and have nothing wherein we may glory.  

So if you feel that you are not as intelligent as you would like to be, no biggie.  Just ask God to give you wisdom.  You may not end up knowing quantum physics, but you will know everything that you need to know.  And that’s more than can be said of some of the “smartest” people I know.

I bless the name of Jesus Christ.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

The Art of Noise

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Well, I finally made it to St. Louis, and, I must say, it was a very eventful trip.  My Hawaiian odyssey was short, but I can now check Hawaii off my list of places to see.  To tell you the truth, it wasn’t as interesting as I thought it would be.  Waikiki is just hotels on top of hotels and stores on top of stores.  In fact, unless you really like the beach, surfing, or spending money, there’s just not a whole lot to do.  That’s just my opinion, and I did only spend three days there, so I won’t argue with you if your experience was different.

The highlight of my trip was a visit to the Pearl Harbor Memorial at Pearl Harbor, where the “date that will live in infamy” happened on December 7, 1941.  Again, I was somewhat disappointed.  I was even a little angry when I considered the fantastic loss of life that occurred there that day, supposedly because someone failed to take seriously the attack planes that appeared on the radar, saying, “Don’t worry about it.”  It’s a good thing, I suppose, that the men who died that day have been memorialized, but, to me, it has turned into a house of merchandise, as several tours are offered ranging in price from free to 65 dollars a head and higher.  As Forrest Gump would say, “That’s all I got to say about that.”

I regret that on my last day there, I found out that one of the tours offered by several companies included a visit to the Mormon Temple.  I didn’t even know that Hawaii had a Mormon Temple.  But I should have, shouldn’t I?  When I found out, I had to decide if I wanted to hang around another day just to see the Temple, or leave.  I decided to leave.  Hawaii is just to doggone expensive.

One thing that I just have to mention right now.  I was in Hawaii for three days in early April.  And the place was full of tourists.  Granted, it’s Hawaii.  But who goes to Hawaii in April (besides me)? If you know anything about Hawaii, maybe you could answer that question for me.  Considering what I saw most of these tourists doing, I’m not surprised at all.  They were light workers.  

Don’t believe me?  Well, as I relate in the article, God is in Control, noise plays a special role in my persecution.  Wherever I go, whenever I go, the noise goes up considerably once I get there.  My apartment in Munich is assaulted by noise continually.  There are three stairwells in my building, but only mine has some sort of construction going on all the time: at least three days out of practically every week.  When a hammer is not being used, a jack hammer is the weapon of choice.  Now, I spent the first eight years of my military career as a combat engineer, so I know something about tools.  Moreover, my father was a contractor and my grandfather was a mechanic.  You can therefore believe me when I say that I am used to being around all kinds of tools, both manual and power.  So, I can say with a degree of certainty that very seldom will a jackhammer be used inside a residential building unless the floors are made of concrete and the concrete needs to be broken up for some reason.  And, if a jackhammer is used, it will definitely not be used more that a couple of times.  Believe me when I say that there have been days when a jackhammer has been used in the apartments above ours several days in a row.

Now, knowing this, imagine my reaction when I checked into my hotel room and saw the following notice on the desk beside my bed:

hawaiinotice1 Hawaiinotice2

Did you get that?  Now what kind of “unforeseen circumstances” besides serious hail, multiple lightning strikes on the same area of roof, or Santa Claus landing on the roof after a couple of visits to Denny’s, would make it necessary to make an emergency repair requiring three weeks of jackhammering from 9 a.m to 4 p.m.?  I can assure you that none of these things happened.  Also consider that my hotel room was on the 10th floor.  The Courtyard Marriott hotel has fourteen floors, and each floor has at least thirty rooms.  That means that at least 120 rooms from the tenth to the fourteenth would be affected.  Assuming every room from the 10th to the 14th received the same notice, where on earth would all these people go when, as I said earlier, the place was packed with tourists?  Do you see how implausible this is?

As I related a couple of days ago, and in other posts on this subject, operant conditioning is used against me 24 hours a day.  The goal of operant conditioning is to affect behavior by manipulating one’s environment.  Because noise is used against me so often, I believe it was hoped that I would see this notice and relocate to another room.  But I stayed right there.  As it turned out, whatever noise there was was barely audible.  Go figure.

Incidentally, this hotel was suggested to me by a gentleman, whom I met on the flight over from California.  The enemy had conveniently left a seat open next to him, and I played along, knowing that this was already planned in advance.  He pretended to be asleep for the first three hours of the flight, and, once he awoke, immediately sparked a conversation with the statement, “Are you a very religious person?”  Somewhere along the line, I gave him the gospel.  I spoke loudly enough so that anyone in my immediate vicinity would hear it, because, though I knew this man didn’t really want to hear it, I was hoping against hope that someone else did.  Once we arrived in Hawaii, the man, who said he was a Marine, suggested we stay at the Courtyard Marriott.  I told him that I already had a reservation elsewhere, but he insisted that the Marriott was the better deal.  Oddly enough (or not, depending on your life) even the cab driver agreed with him.  Because it was 20 dollars less than the hotel where I had the reservation, I acquiesced.  But I knew something was afoot.  It only remained to wait and see what it was.

Same stuff, different day ‘s all.

Mind Control, The Truman Story, and Us

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

truman1

Grace and peace, Saints. 

In my last post, I explained that I would chronicle some of the strange occurrences that have taken place on this trip.  I’m going to give you the sanitized version, because if I were to give you the whole story, you would definitely not believe me. 

A few months ago, I wrote how everywhere I go, Satan’s light workers manipulate my environment, in an attempt to manipulate me by controlling my reactions.  This is known as operant conditioning, pioneered by Ivan Pavlov and further refined by behaviorist B.F. Skinner.  Skinner believed that people are going to be manipulated anyway, so he said, “I just want them to be manipulated effectively.”  Operant conditioning is a form of mind control.

The movie, “The Truman Story” is a perfect example of mind control.  In the movie, the title character, played by actor Jim Carey, has been under surveillance his entire life unbeknownst to him.  His whole life is really a soap opera.  Hidden cameras chronicle his every move, and everyone in his life is, in reality, an actor portraying a role.  His mother is not really his mother.  His wife is not really his wife.  And his best friend is not really his best friend.  His neighbors are actors, his boss is an actor, and absolutely everyone he meets on the street is an actor.  His entire world is a fantasy.  In fact, the entire town where he lives is actually a movie set. 

Truman is fascinated by the sea, but he is afraid to go sailing, because when he was a small boy, his “father” was lost at sea during an “episode” of Truman’s life.  Since that time, Truman has been afraid of the water.  The drowning at sea was a planned event to insure that Truman would develop a fear of sailing, and not attempt to leave the seafront community where he lived.   If Truman had ever managed to leave the village, then he would have discovered that it was, in actuality, a movie set.  This is being done to each and every one of us on some level. 

Whenever Truman would get close to the truth, his “best friend” steers him away from it.  If anyone tries to tell Truman the truth, as one young woman, who starts to care for him tries to do, that person is immediately apprehended and removed from Truman’s life.  In fact, if events in Truman’s life had not been so meticulously managed and had been allowed to play out naturally, the young woman who tried to tell Truman the truth about his life would, in all likelihood, have become his wife.  But the producer of the show, seeing Truman taking a liking to her, had another woman supposedly hurt her ankle and literally fall into Truman’s lap.  This woman became his wife.  How many of us found our spouses under the same circumstances?  Does this, in some way, explain the blur that led to your nuptials?

This has happened to us and to almost everyone we know.  Many of our lives have been deliberately and meticulously controlled at least as early as grade school.  People have been placed in our lives to manipulate events in our lives to bring about a desired result, and have intentionally derailed many of our futures.  That is why many of us, no matter how hard we try, just cannot seem to reach our full potential.  There seems to be an invisible wall that is so wide we can’t get around it, so low we can’t get under it, and so high, we can’t get over it. 

I believe, and have seen evidence to support this, that Satan has placed people in the schools in order to identify children who are highly intelligent and natural born leaders.  Once identified, it will then be determined if such a child can be used for Satan’s agenda.  If he can be, then he is called “exceptional” and “gifted” and it is suggested that he attend a school where his gifts can be properly developed.  Teachers and administrators cater to his every whim, and all the students love and admire him.  If he cannot be, then his life will be managed in such a way as to insure that he will never reach his full potential.  He will be treated differently, possibly even cruelly by teachers and administrators, and students will be placed in the school to harass the child and to persuade other students to treat him like a pariah.  Many children so treated have ended up in a life of crime.  God willing, I will one day give a testimony of something that happened in my children’s school to substantiate what I am saying here. 

In reality, Truman was an allegory for the common man. Our reality is being manipulated in order to achieve a specific result, and ultimately, to keep us from ever coming to a knowledge of the truth.  I believe, and have stated many times, that Satan is compelled by God to tell us the truth.  Jesus said the truth is not in Satan, and the Bible teaches us that no lie is of the truth.  Satan, then, never tells the whole truth, but will tell some truth to make his lie more palatable.  He will tell the truth, but he will tell it slant.  

Hollywood is Satan’s way of telling us what is really going on, but one has to have the discernment of the Holy Spirit in order to see it.  Through The Truman Story, Satan was telling us that our realities are being manipulated and that virtually nothing that we think is real really is real.

This is especially true of Christians.  Truman was really an allegory for all Christians, and this is evident by the ‘X’ or cross, behind Truman’s head in the photo above.  We know that the cross is a symbol for Christians.  We are being told, in a subtle way, that we are being spied upon, surveilled, studied: however you want to term it, we Christians are being watched most intently by the enemy.  And our realities are being shaped in such a way as to beguile those of little discernment into thinking that everything is OK, and that our old enemy, the Roman Catholic church, is really our friend, when, in reality, Rome is still plotting our destruction.  If you haven’t already, you had better read The Roman Catholic Takeover of America.  The time is almost here.  

Of several clever hints that what I am saying is exactly the case, is the following photo of Christoff, played by Ed Harris:

Ed Harris The Truman Show

If you try, it would not be difficult to see that Cristoff’s collar is remarkably similar to that of a Roman Catholic priest.  Wouldn’t you say?  In fact, his whole demeanor, speech, and philosophy are very “priestly.”  This is no accident.  Add to this the fact that his right hand is clearly displaying a Cult of Mary hand sign, and you will see the message that is being conveyed here.

Those who realize what is really going on are demonized and made to look crazy or paranoid so that others will not listen to him.  We saw this in the Truman show as, every time he would get close to the truth, his friend would convince him that he spent too much time thinking and needed to relax. 

If, for instance, the enemy wants a person to become a sociopath, he can place people around the person to ensure that virtually every contact that person has with people is a bad experience.  Many people who have been so manipulated have ended up recluses. I believe Satan does this to people who have figured out how the world really works and he wants to make sure that this person doesn’t influence others.  

This same technique has been used to create anyone from social activists to sociopaths.  Want to create a racist?  Then place people of the target race in this person’s life from childhood into adulthood that will make sure that every contact the child has with this race will be bad.  Then put other people in the child’s life: parents, relatives, teachers, etc. who will reinforce the opinion of the target race that is being developed in the child.  Then groom that person for success and influence so that he influences other people to think as he does. 

Have you ever noticed that some of the most successful and most popular people today are some of the most despicable people you will ever meet—people of questionable morals and character, while some of the most interesting, insightful, and moral people are labeled by the media and others as crazy or strange?  This is no accident.  Satan wants his people to influence the status quo to bring about the type of society conducive to his ends.  He doesn’t want people listening to those whose eyes have been opened and from whom one could actually learn a thing or two. 

The enemy uses mind control to accomplish many ends.  In my case, it is used to try to control where I go, what I do, and how I act.  In your case, it is being used to keep you from listening to people like me

Our lives are being manipulated.

Now, I said all that to build the context in which I am going to recount many of the things that have happened on this trip.  Without me giving you this short primer on mind control, which takes many forms, you would not have been able to digest what I am going to tell you.  Believe me, most of us have had our realities completely shaped by the puppet masters so that we will close our minds to anything that does not fit into our worldview: a worldview, by the way, that did not develop naturally, but was deliberately shaped and molded by the puppet masters of Mystery Babylon.

Gooday!

More Spiritual Wickedness in High Places

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Grace and peace, Saints. 

As many of you may know, I originally started this blog subsequent to learning that I was under surveillance by the forces of darkness, which have been attacking me and my family for years.  

I believe this is largely due to my evangelism work among Roman Catholics and Muslims and because we preach the pure, undiluted, hard-core Gospel of Jesus Christ, which Gospel Satan hates.  We reveal Satan’s schemes and expose his machinations, and enable anyone who is willing to not only be set free from bondage, but to wage an effective warfare against Satan and the forces of darkness with the Sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God.  

Because Satan constantly exposes me to his light workers, I take the opportunity to evangelize them also.  And, because the attacks upon me are so relentless, my spirit tells me that some of these poor souls may have even been reached with the Gospel.  Whether this is the case, I cannot say for sure, but my spirit tells me that there is some truth to this.  I at least hope there is.

Psychological warfare operations (commonly known as mind control) plays a major role in the attacks upon me, as well as extremely low frequency electromagnetic or directed energy weapons used against my body.  Because these weapons are known to be used by the United States military, this can only mean that the U.S. government is somehow involved in the attacks upon me.  As I have related previously, the Department of Homeland Security and the U.S. Senate both have paid a visit to my website.   Last week, I was staying in a hotel on Ramstein Air Force Base in Germany.  When I tried to access this blog using one the hotel’s courtesy computers, a security banner identified my website as a “hate/violence” website and prevented me from logging on:

This is not unusual, given that this ministry involves revealing the true nature of Roman Catholicism as well as the Roman Catholic plan to take over the United States of America and the world.  In that the United States government is controlled by the Roman Catholic church, and there are many Roman Catholics in the United States military, then it is not unreasonable to conclude that the Romish elements of the United States military would be hostile to my ministry. 

Many of you are aware that the attacks against me have, wittingly or unwittingly, involved my wife, who was born and raised a Roman Catholic.  

Only the love that I have for my wife and children and the grace of our Lord Jesus, to whom I owe my love, unwavering obedience, and allegiance, have thus far saved my family from utter destruction.  All praise, honor, and glory be to God, who giveth us the victory through Christ Jesus our Lord. 

After the St. Louis Circuit Court returned my children to my wife in August 2009, after I had taken them from Germany to the U.S. for their safety in February 2008, I remained in the U.S., while my wife and children returned to Munich, Germany.  At this point, you should know that my wife is not German, but black African: born and raised in Angola and the Congo.  My children are black and look black, and are not altogether indiscernible from the average black American child.  You can imagine, therefore, how three black American children, who look like three black American children, and talk like three black American children (although they do speak fluent German), must appear in Munich, where black American children, who are not of mixed race, are a rarity, if they exist at all outside my family.

The significance of this last testimony involving my wife and family is that since April 2012, following an urgent plea from my son to come to Germany, I have been living on two continents: maintaining a residence in the United States, while residing in Germany.  I had been planning since my arrival here to go back to America and tie up any loose ends before returning to Germany.  But certain factors made me reluctant to totally commit to living in Germany.  A recent addition to the family this year made it further necessary for me to postpone my trip a few months.

I had planned to leave when the baby reached three months of age, and if she were healthy and had no physical or medical issues.  I would then go to America to close out that chapter of my life, and subsequently return to Germany to resume my activities as a full-time missionary, leaving the rest in the hands of the Lord Jesus.  With this intent, I left Munich Wednesday April 2, 2014 en route to Ramstein Air Force Base, where I hoped to get a space available flight to the United States.  

This is where it gets interesting.

This is not the peak travel season, so space available, commonly called Space A, flights are usually not very difficult to get.  Space available means that if any seats on a military aircraft are left after all official travelers have been seated, then those seats will be released to travelers based on select criteria.  It is also used to fill empty space on cargo aircraft.  Space available travel is available to active duty military, military retirees, and others in select groups.  I left Munich at approximately 7:30 a.m. April 2, and arrived at Ramstein Air Base five and a half hours later.  There was no flight out that day, so I got a room at the hotel and hoped that I would get a flight out the next day.  I didn’t, however, so I had to wait until Friday, April 4.  

Now I showed up bright and early for that flight and it looked like I would be flying out.  But it was announced that all seats were filled before they got to me.  So, back to the hotel room I went.  When I didn’t make it out on any of the several flights that Saturday, I became suspicious.  So I went to my facebook feed to look for the 24hr. historical data of Ramstein Passenger Terminal.  Many Air Mobility Command (AMC) Passenger Terminals post historical data as well as 72 hr. projected flight schedules.  I subscribe to Ramstein’s facebook feed as well as several others.  The 24hr. historical data lists what flights went out, how many seats were released and how many were filled, the lowest category (out of six categories) that was chosen and the sign up date of the person in that category, and the number of people who competed for a seat and the lowest category person who competed. 

The 24hr. historical data is the best way of determining how close a person who was not selected was to being selected.  One does this by comparing his category and sign up date with the lowest category and sign up date that was selected.

Now a person can sign up for as many destinations as he chooses, and his name will be automatically considered for every flight he signs up for.  Since I was trying to go stateside, then I was eligible for any flight and would be considered for every flight.  In that most flights on a given day have a different departure time, it is important to show up plenty of time before the “roll call” for a particular flight to make sure that passenger service personnel know that you want to be considered for that flight.  They will then mark you as present, and, at roll call, your name will appear with the names of everyone else marked present for the flight, on a big screen monitor along with your category, sign up date, and number in line. 

Category VI, the last category, is retired personnel.  If all Category VI personnel who signed up for a flight are selected, it means that there were plenty of seats.  I showed up an hour early before the roll call for the flight to McGuire Air Force Base, NJ, on April 4 and was marked as present.  I am Category VI and had a sign up date of February 20, 2014.  I was not selected for the flight. 

Here is the historical data for that flight.  This information was posted to facebook, so it is unclassified.

You will note that out of 10 seats released, only 9 were used, and the lowest category selected was CAT VI with a sign up date of April 3, 2014: only the day before the flight, and several weeks later than my signup date.  I should have been selected for the flight. 

On Sunday April 6, I went to the Ramstein Passenger Terminal to find out why I wasn’t selected for that flight when there were enough seats.  I was told that someone “accidentally” put me in the system as desiring to go to Kuwait.  So I wasn’t even considered for the McGuire flight or any other flight going Stateside.  What makes this mistake dubious, however, was that my signup sheet clearly shows that I wanted to go Stateside.

I ultimately left Ramstein AFB on April 7, five days after I arrived, on a flight to Travis Air Force Base, CA.  And I almost didn’t make that flight either.  Because of what had happened with the McGuire flight, I signed up for the Travis flight, believing that hardly anyone wanted to go to the West Coast as it is easier to get connecting flights from the East Coast.  I arrived very early, as usual, and marked myself present for the flight to Travis.  My name appeared on the monitor this time, but I was still expecting the worse.  During the roll call for this flight, an announcement came over the PA system that due to the large number of seats released, everyone who signed up for the flight would be selected.  I immediately went to the passenger service counter to verify this.  The sergeant in charge told me “there is no way you heard that.”  

So I went back to my seat, but, sure I had heard correctly, I went back to the counter and asked how many seats were released, and what my number was.  One person said that I was number ten of the retirees, so my chances looked good, while another said, “I’m not liking your chances.” Just then, the announcement came over the PA for me to go to passenger control.  I had been selected. 

In the past, I was never very diligent in things like checking the list and making sure my data was correct, looking for mistakes or discrepancies in destinations, or referencing the historical data, because I trusted the system, which, before the last five years or so, had always worked very well.  Ordinarily, AMC personnel are incredibly efficient.

Right now, I’m in Hawaii.  When I signed up for the flight going from Travis AFB to Joint Air Base Pearl Harbor/Hickam, it seemed there was going to be plenty of seats.  There were 73 seats available, I had a signup date almost two months old, and who is going to Hawaii in April with Spring Break just about over and summer vacation still a couple of months away?  Well, you can guess what happened.  When I arrived at the passenger terminal at 5:45 a.m., it was teaming with people. 

Again, there was a role call, again, my name appeared, and again, I wasn’t selected.  The service agent announced that all the seats were filled, and the last person selected was right before me.  In that this person was CAT VI, with a signup date of 24 February—four days later than mine—I went to ask about this.  As I glanced up at the monitor, I noticed that my signup date had been changed from 20 February to 26 February!  I told the service agent about this, and he told me it was too late, that there had been plenty of time to have had it changed before then.  Again the plane left without me. 

When I inquired how this error was made, the lady at the passenger counter told me that someone forgot to change the date from 26 February to 20 February.  I asked her how that was possible when, as the date was entered for the first time only the day before, nothing needed to be changed.  It was entered incorrectly to begin with.  All I got was an apology.

Today, I went to Travis Passenger Terminal’s facebook page to look at the historical data for yesterday.  The first flight to Hawaii is the one I would have been on. 

As you can see, of the 73 seats released, only 71 were used.  They list 71 people as having competed for the seats, and that the lowest was Category VI with a signup date of 17 February.  Again, I’m Category VI, and my signup date was 20 February.

It is totally possible that these were all honest mistakes.  But, in view of what I do, I seriously doubt it. I say again: the military consists of people; and people have agendas: some good, some bad. 

If you consider this in light of the Roman Catholic Takeover of America, then it makes plenty of sense. 

The purpose of my writing this is not to sling mud at our military, as there are some fine men and women there.  I’m merely relating what is really happening to me.  I have definitely been targeted by the forces of darkness, many of whom are in our military.  This is a fact.  Can I prove it?  No.  Does that mean it’s not happening?  Definitely not. What may be considered proof of this, is the fact that two days after I left Ramstein, seats to the U.S. seemed to have became plentiful again:

Many of you may find what I am saying hard to believe, but others of you know that I speak the truth: maybe because it’s also happening to you, or maybe because you are making it happen to someone yourself.

Because so many spiritually interesting things have been occurring on this trip, I am going to chronicle the whole thing: day-by-day, play-by-play.  I’m already way behind, because a lot has happened.  But I’ll do my best to catch up. By the way, there was an upside to me not making that flight on April 4th.  When I should have been flying out, the weather in St. Louis was terrible: thunderstorms and tornadoes.  It was the same on the East Coast:

But this is what I saw from my hotel window:

What Satan meant for evil, God used for good. Please pray for me.

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Grace and peace, Saints.

If you’re wondering why I haven’t posted anything lately, suffice it to say that Satan has been very busy.  This should come as no surprise to you by now, if you have kept up with this blog for any length of time.  One thing that I can tell you is that it is absolutely amazing what Satan can do with the unrepentant sinner and how he can affect the life of the repentant sinner through that unrepentant sinner.  We are truly, TRULY in a war.

Saints, if you are going through anything in your personal lives because of your Christian witness, don’t give up the fight.  Satan will win many battles, but he will lose the war.  We have already won the victory.  We only have to claim it.

If you’ve been knocked down, get back up, dust yourself off, and keep on keeping on.  And keep on trusting in Jesus.

I have been working on a very important teaching for some time now, and, God willing, I will be posting it later today.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.

Barack Obama and the Church of Constantine

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

Grace and peace to the fruitful trees of the Lord, and greetings to the withering branches of the world.

People have been speculating for years about the religious orientation of our President, Barack Obama. Because his father is said to have been a Muslim, for many, that makes the President a Muslim. As Christians, we must be careful not to get involved in arguments that are not edifying or fruitful. The question of President Obama’s religion is is neither edifying nor fruitful.

However, we are admonished to watch in all things. And, as we wrestle against spiritual wickedness in high places, we must not overlook the fact that the Presidency of the United States is one of the highest places on earth. That being said, let us continue.

Below is a hand said to be from a colossal 40-foot statue of the Roman Emperor Constantine the Great. Located in the Museo Capitalino at Rome, it is commonly referred to as the Hand or Finger of Constantine.

Here is the hand from another angle.

Notice that the thumb of the hand is not folded over the middle finger as is common when pointing…

…but is somewhat extended. This feature distinguishes the Hand of Constantine from the normal act of pointing.

Considered one of the greatest caesars, Constantine was the founder of the Roman Catholic religion. Consequently, the Hand of Constantine appears quite frequently. It even appears in advertising:

In that Roman Catholicism is an occult religion, it is highly likely that the hand of Constantine is yet another occult hand sign. Bear this in mind as you review the following images of President Obama:

Coincidence?  You be the judge.

Pope Francis Concecrates the World to the Virgin Mary

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

popefrancis_mc

Grace and peace, Saints.

You may recall that in our series, The Roman Catholic Takeover of America, we explain that according to Monica Farrell in Ravening Wolves, the Roman Catholic takeover of a nation happens in three phases:

1. A crusade of prayer, claiming a country for the Virgin Mary

2.  Dedication of the country to the Virgin Mary

3.  A holy warfare to possess that country.

We reveal, in this series, that phases 1 and 2 actually happened in the United States:

loaprayercardback

Step 3, a holy warfare, or Catholic crusade, is in the making.

The stated goal of the Roman Catholic church is for Roman Catholicism to be the universal religion of the world.  Catholic means “universal,” and, historically, the Roman Catholic popes have declared themselves the final authorities both in the secular and spiritual realms.  If the Bible can be believed (and it can), Rome will succeed in taking over the world, and the Roman Catholic pope will become the universal monarch of the world. 

If the Roman Catholic Takeover of the World will follow the same template as the Roman Catholic takeover of a country, then it follows that there should be a crusade of prayer to dedicate the world to the Virgin Mary, followed by formal dedication of the world to the Virgin Mary, and, lastly, a holy warfare to possess the world.

In Part One of The Roman Catholic Takeover of America, I present a prayer wherein the Roman Catholics worldwide were urged to pray daily for the world to be dedicated to the Virgin Mary.  I also presented the above prayer card, which called for the same to happen in the United States and also a prayer that was read at the dedication of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., which dedicated the United States to the Virgin Mary.  While both prayers dedicating the United States to the Virgin Mary bear the imprimatur of the Roman Catholic church and are, thus, authentic, the authenticity of the prayer dedicating the world to the Virgin Mary cannot be proved.  If, however, the prayer is authentic, then Step One of the Roman Catholic conquest of the world has already been accomplished, and the next step is a formal dedication of the world to the Virgin Mary.

Imagine, therefore, my reaction when I read today in an article in the Catholic Herald, dated August 22, 2013, that Pope Francis, the False Prophet of Chapter 13 of the Book of the Revelation, was planning to consecrate the world to the “Immaculate Heart of Mary” on October 13 of last year. [Click image for full story.]

pfrancisdedworld

Realizing the import of this, I immediately set out to confirm whether or not it had happened.  According to the National Catholic Register, it did: [Click image for full story.]

pfrancisdedworld2

If this story is authentic, and there is no reason to believe that it isn’t, then the Roman Catholic church has really dedicated the world to the Virgin Mary. 

In that official dedication to the Virgin Mary is followed by “a holy warfare,” then a global Crusade to possess the earth for the Virgin Mary is imminent.  The Bible calls this crusade The Great Tribulation.  And the fact that the False Prophet himself, Pope Francis, performed the dedication, means that we are closer to the end than many of us even dared to believe.

The goal of a Catholic Crusade is the forced conversion of all non-Catholics to Roman Catholicism and the elimination of all who will not convert.  In case you doubt this, read the article from the National Catholic Register very carefully.  Under “Consecrations Must Continue,” you will read:

“But those present [at the consecration] were eager to stress that the consecration doesn’t end there if the world is to be converted.” [Brackets mine.]

These people are not playing games.

It is interesting to note that this was not covered in the mainstream media, which, at that time, were busy covering the congressional budget/debt crisis, Obamacare, and the latest reports of the NSA spying on our closest allies.  Again, the media were successful in diverting our attention away from what is really important.  Now we know why the media made such a big deal about Edward Snowden and NSA surveillance, when any thinking person knows that this has likely been going on for decades. 

By the way, I find Snowden’s name very interesting.  In light of the what we have just discovered, it is highly likely that the whole NSA debacle was a diversion: a “snow job,” if you will.  And if it was, then Snowden’s name is a slap in our collective faces.

Additionally, note that though mainstream media didn’t cover the event, the article states that the consecration was televised all over the world at specific “Marian” (Roman Catholic) sites.  Though most American’s knew nothing of this, the Roman Catholics knew full well what had happened.  You should think about this very carefully.

Monica Farrell said that when Rome dedicated Australia to the Virgin Mary, most people, including many Christians, took it as a big joke.  The same thing was probably true of Yugoslavia and Rwanda: and we all know what happened in those countries.  Will you write it off as a joke too?

We warned you that this was coming, and now you see that it isn’t a fairy tale.  What you do with this information is your business.  We’ve done our part in bringing it to you.  If you haven’t read our series, The Roman Catholic Takeover of America, we suggest very strongly that you do so.  Then read Ravening Wolves, which you can download here.  You will then understand how serious this is.

Deceitful Workers: Matthew McConaughey: A Form of Righteousness?

The Gospel Light And Truth Crusade

mcconaugheyoscar2014_1

Grace and peace, Saints.

The web is abuzz today behind Matthew McConaughey’s plug for “God” during his Oscar acceptance speech last night.  Many are lauding McConaughey for having the “courage” to mention God at a venue representing an industry notorious for it’s lack of reverence for God and the Lord Jesus Christ:

oscargodcomment2 oscargodcomment

It’s amazing that so many people could be fooled into believing that McConaughey is really a God-fearing man, just because he gives thanks to “god.” 

God means many things to many people.  Oprah Winfrey, for example, says that to her, God is “a force.”  “Jesus Christ,” said she, “Is not “The Way,” but rather, “He came to show us the way.”  Former president, George W. Bush, when asked during an interview what he saw when he looked into Pope John Paul II’s eyes, said simply, “God.”

God means different things to different people.

Who is God, then, to Matthew McConaughey?  Well, McConaughey’s God is himself.  Don’t believe me?  Well listen to what he says:

“In the words of the late Charlie Laughton…‘When you’ve got God, you’ve got a friend — and that friend is you.’”

Did you get that?  McConaughey is saying that God is you.  So when McConaughey gives thanks to God he is actually giving thanks to himself.  He’s patting himself on the back. Whitney Houston did the same thing when she sung The Greatest Love of All.

McConaughey further proves this when he relates that the hero to whom he has aspired all his life to be is himself.  The “someone to chase” he mentions is Matthew McConaughey.  Now, if he were a true Christian, McConaughey would have said that he aspired to be like the Lord Jesus Christ, as this is the ultimate role model for the Christian.  Instead, he brazenly declares that he himself is the model to which he aspires.  McConaughey is his own god.

Self godhood is a premier motif of New Age Christianity.  Incidentally, in the movie “Contact,” McConaughey plays a New Age spiritual guru to the President of the United States.  Christian, you say?  Uh–huh.

McConaughey’s Oscar speech is a literal fulfillment of 2 Timothy 3:

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers… unthankful, unholy…heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;

“Having a form of righteousness, but denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:1-5).

McConaughey’s version of Heaven is yet further evidence that he is no Christian, as he relates in his speech that his late father is probably in heaven with a big pot of gumbo, sipping a Miller Light and dancing.  My Bible does not say that beer or gumbo will be allowed in Heaven, and McConaughey’s reference is blasphemous, to say the least.

I couldn’t help but notice that McConaughey several times cleverly flashes the Cult of Mary handsign, signalling his allegiance to the goddess:

mcconaughey3_mc mcconaughey2_mc mcconaughey1_mc

Same stuff, different day.

Matthew McConaughey is no different than any of the other unholy denizens of the cesspool that is Tensiltown.

Below is the video of Matthew McConaughey’s landmark praise of “god” speech.  Enjoy.
