Another Fake Psychic Caught!

Crystal Marks, a fake New York psychic, swindles civil lawyer out of $118,000. Read the story here:

http://nypost.com/2014/01/21/self-proclaimed-psychic-takes-no-jail-plea-deal-in-scam/

We’ve all have heard of fake exorcisms going bad and killing people, but this sad story shows that 2 young children, ages one and two, were murdered by their mother and mother's friend—both members of a tiny group called the Demon Assassins. Two older siblings were hospitalized with multiple stab wounds. Full story:

http://www.wjla.com/articles/2014/01/alleged-exorcism-killers-due-in-court-tuesday-99475.html

In the article, they describe the young children's eyes as "dark black." This theory of eyes turning black is a popular subject on such talk shows as Dave Schrader’s Darkness at the Edge of Town and others. All hosts and guests perpetrating these false beliefs have the blood of the innocent on their hands.

Do you know of a para-celeb, psychic, ghost hunter, demon chaser, or false teacher who’s eligible for the award? You can take part by sending us a name and why you think they should receive the BAD BAD THING award. Contact freeallspirits@live.com for more information.

None of Us Are Indispensable

By Reverend Mark Hunnemann

"And Jesus said to him, "See that you say nothing to anyone..."(Matt.8:4)

Sometimes referred to as the "Messianic secret" Jesus often told people He had healed to hush up about it. In this case, Jesus had tenderly reached out, touched, and healed a leprous man. He did instruct the healed man to follow Jewish law and see the priest, but He insisted on his not broadcasting what Jesus had done.

Why the insistence on silence? Miracles did attest to the veracity of Jesus Messianic claims, but He was concerned about drawing a crowd that was simply and solely interested in being wowed by signs and wonders. Also, wrong notions abounded regarding the nature of the kingdom Jesus was establishing. He was not a crowd seeker , nor was our Lord a crowd pleaser.

Boy, I wish many of today's Christian leaders, as well as para-celebs, would take this to heart. It seems to me that drawing a crowd is all many (certainly not all) of them are concerned about. With egos as big as their church campuses, some of have actually begun to believe they are indispensable...which is a big mistake.

A long time ago someone set me straight when he said (in reference to the pastoral ministry), "None of us are indispensable." I have never forgot their words, though I long ago forgot who said them.

It is important to understand what that means, as well what as what it does not mean. The latter first. In 1 Cor.12 and Rom.12 (and elsewhere) the bible insists that there are NO LITTLE PEOPLE in the kingdom. There is no hierarchy of importance when it comes to spiritual gifts...and when one hurts, we all hurt. The person who has the gift of hospitality is just as important as a missionary or pastor. In other words, we all have a significant role to play in the church.In that sense we are ALL indispensable. Each person is equally precious and equally needed for the proper functioning of the Body of Christ.

BUT.. if we ever get the notion that our personal ministries are necessary for God to work and expand His kingdom, then we are in trouble. When we think that WE have to be personally and actively involved all the time or it won't get done...if we begin to think in terms of "this is MY Facebook site" or "this is MY blog or MY church or MY outreach (fill in the blank)"--then we need to repent. We need to humble ourselves before God, before He does it for us...which is usually much more painful.

Please don't misunderstand me...each of our ministries/callings are very important to God. It is when we get filled with an inflated sense of self-importance, that problems arise.

Or when we forget the principle of sola scriptura. For example, I personally do not think that mothers of young children should be deliverance ministers (based on the principle of focusing on the home). I am ignorant of many things, but I do know something about the repercussions of being involved in a ministry that expels demons from people and places...they retaliate. Saying that you trust in God to protect you and your family is tempting Him, not trusting Him. There are plenty of meaningful ways to be involved in support ministries, until your children get older. Your role as a mom is indispensable to the children God has blessed you with.But the exorcism ministry of God's kingdom will carry on with or without any of us.

After a run of several dozen successful cleansings in a couple of years, they suddenly became more difficult. And shortly, I faced my most challenging case ever. Afterwards, the "running spicket"of cases abruptly shut off. Nobody contacted me. But, thank God, I remembered...God does not NEED me in order to continue His work of delivering people from demonic oppression. There are plenty of other people more godly...more gifted than I...And the fact is, I needed a break. If we are burned out, we are not good to anyone, ministry wise. Are you open to God shutting doors for your sake?

The Gates of hell will not prevail against God's church.

"I am the Vine and you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. But part from Me, you can do nothing" (John 15:5) GOD is indispensable in our lives and ministries if they are to bear fruit pleasing to God.God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit ARE indispensable. ONLY the Father could send the Son, ONLY the Son could accomplish redemption for us, and ONLY the Holy Spirit can apply this redemption to people's hearts.                                                        


Pride...especially spiritual pride, is ugly to God, and it inevitably will bring His hand of discipline.

Are we involved in ministry because of the need to be needed? Please do not gloss over that question. To some extent, I think we all wrestle with that.

God does not care if we accomplish great things, but He does insist on excellence in relationships--especially within our families.(see the last verse of Malachi)

Lastly, we can show our sense of "indispensability"...our humility, by encouraging other folks involved in similar ministries to our own. We have to fight pride and selfishness here. However, I cannot exaggerate the importance of the ministry of encouragement. I know that when someone takes the time even to comment on something I have written, it makes my day. We are not to be man-pleasers, but man, it sure is pleasing when someone says an encouraging word.

How Satan Supports Christians

By Lisa Grace

Many Christians hate the idea that they have actions that support and promote Satan, but they do. Satan, who is smarter and has been around the block longer than any living Christian, uses the Bible to twist messages about God's love and judgment.

His greatest tools within the church are:

• Denominationalism
• Judgment
• Misunderstandings caused by man-made added words,concordances, and incorrect translations
• Not understanding Hebrew traditions, customs, mores, and early Hebrew language (even the Greeks misunderstood and made up words to describe some Hebraic Torah concepts.)
• The devil is always working and succeeding by tempting us into judgment
• Getting us to think "actions" will make us more righteous: "If I do this or get others to do this, then I'm a better Christian" Our righteousness is as filthy rags and we can not "earn" our way into salvation.

How can we guard against allowing the devil to use the very word of God against us?

It's simple:

• Remember we are all sinners saved by His (God's) grace (Eph 2:8-9)
• Remembering the basic saving message: We are all sinners, Jesus' blood is what covers our sin, repent( means turn away) from our sin, ask Jesus (Yeshua) into our hearts, claim him as our personal Savior.

Everything else we do to honor Him is a fruit of our faith, and those practices should not be used to condemn others if they do not practice them themselves.

Let God be the judge at the time of judgment. All Christians have a hard enough time just keeping the Ten Commandments, which again God knew we couldn't keep, but they are to act as a mirror to show us our sinful selves, and remind us as to why we each need the gift of God, our Savior, Jesus Christ. He paid it all.

I pray we can all work together, to bring others into a personal relationship with God, through Jesus. If we work at this basic truth, there will not be the interest in the paranormal that exists today, as a personal relationship with our Creator trumps seeking after a relationship with perverted fallen angels, demons, witchcraft, i.e. all other forms of the supernatural.

The Harlem Shake Inside a Church? Dancing to Hell!

By Kirby Robinson

Due to a case I'm working on, I'm unable to post a new blog today. I will have a Special Edition Saturday, but meanwhile, here's a blast from the past. 

I’ve noticed a spike in recent cases that focus on young people. The common thing that occurs in almost all the cases was the fact that all the kids took part in dancing the Harlem Shake at their church during regular or youth services.

This is part of the trend in the church of turning their back on the cross and embracing the new age, the Jewish faith, the occult, and the demonic.

Dancing isn’t evil. But this dance takes place in church and how it is done and what it represents is opening the door to allow demons to enter. Not only for those doing it, but also allowing the demon to take up residence there. The demon will perform false works of wonders that people will say the wonders are right from God.

The dance originated in Harlem and the craze really took off after a Christian rock band called Third Day promoted it during their recent Miracle Tour.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zNPr1R7mxQc

This supposedly Christian band and the dance in a concert may not be bad but the one phrase that is repeated translates into “we are the terrorists.” Satan/Lucifer/the Devil and their demons are the terrorists to God and all things Christians should stand for. Why would they repeat that phrase and ask their audience to repeat it?

Notice at the very end of the song [and in some versions are repeated throughout the song] is a deep and loud evil cackle. The same sound I’ve heard from demons I’ve encountered over the years. 

Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church Full Spreads False Teachings

1 No Second Coming

2 The Bible has errors

3 Christ was God’s “do over”

4 The Muslims and Christians share the same God/Savior

Seems they are welcoming in the god Bacchus [lesser god/demon]. If you do not know of him read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dionysus

Here’s the video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGo421C8Qos

- Notice the young man wearing the lizard mask and tail [demon]

- The style of dancing is very sexual

Now remember -- this is in a church.

Here’s a video of the dance with Christ hanging from the cross:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a00-cLOfI3g

- Notice the girl to the left of cross is dressed as the one of the ungodly ones. During the dance, the man playing Jesus is spanking her as she is onstage kneeling like an animal in heat.

- The person in an animal head walks across the stage. Animal masks are common in the dark art schools.

In Jacksonville Florida at an under 30 church group. Onstage, a man wears a mask that appears alien:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=k1tQu0eT2nM

What’s next? Beer and chicken wings? Slot machines? Strippers instead of pastors?

Taking part in this is a door opener to the demonic. Anyone that is in a church that allows this to take place needs to find a new church – quickly.

Any pastor that allows this in their church shows they aren’t a man/woman of God but working for the false church that serves the evil one.

Dalai Lama Quotes & Words of Wisdom

“All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.”

“I believe that the very purpose of life is to be happy. From the very core of our being, we desire contentment. In my own limited experience I have found that the more we care for the happiness of others, the greater is our own sense of well-being. Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter. It is the principal source of success in life. Since we are not solely material creatures, it is a mistake to place all our hopes for happiness on external development alone. The key is to develop inner peace.”

“Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.”

“I believe that the very purpose of our life is to seek happiness. That is clear. Whether one believes in religion or not, whether one believes in this religion or that religion, we all are seeking something better in life. So, I think, the very motion of our life is towards happiness…”

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

“Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.”

“I find hope in the darkest of days, and focus in the brightest. I do not judge the universe.”

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”

“If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.”

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

“If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.”

“If you have a particular faith or religion, that is good. But you can survive without it.”

“If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion.”

“As human beings we all want to be happy and free from misery… we have learned that the key to happiness is inner peace. The greatest obstacles to inner peace are disturbing emotions such as anger, attachment, fear and suspicion, while love and compassion and a sense of universal responsibility are the sources of peace and happiness.”

“In the practice of tolerance, one’s enemy is the best teacher.”

“Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.”

“It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.”

“All major religious traditions carry basically the same message, that is love, compassion and forgiveness … the important thing is they should be part of our daily lives.”

“It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.”

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.”

“Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive.”

“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”

“My religion is very simple. My religion is kindness.”

“Be kind whenever possible.It is always possible.”

“Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.”

“Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can’t help them, at least don’t hurt them.”

“Sleep is the best meditation.”

“Sometimes one creates a dynamic impression by saying something, and sometimes one creates as significant an impression by remaining silent.”

“The purpose of our lives is to be happy.”

“The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.”

“The ultimate authority must always rest with the individual’s own reason and critical analysis.”

“There is no need for temples, no need for complicated philosophies. My brain and my heart are my temples; my philosophy is kindness.”

“This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”

“Today, more than ever before, life must be characterized by a sense of Universal responsibility, not only nation to nation and human to human, but also human to other forms of life.”

“We can live without religion and meditation, but we cannot survive without human affection.”

“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”

“Where ignorance is our master, there is no possibility of real peace.”

“Whether one believes in a religion or not, and whether one believes in rebirth or not, there isn’t anyone who doesn’t appreciate kindness and compassion.”

“With realization of one’s own potential and self-confidence in one’s ability, one can build a better world.”

What Is Pareidolia? Or Demons?

Hello my para beauties. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend and enjoying the start of 2014. I hope some of you have been able to stay warm during these insane weather conditions. It's sure miserable being that cold! Yikes....

According to Wiki Pareidolia (/pærɨˈdoʊliə/ parr-i-doh-lee-ə) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant, a form of apophenia. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit, and hearing hidden messages on records when played in reverse.

The word comes from the Greek words para (παρά, "beside, alongside, instead") in this context meaning something faulty, wrong, instead of; and the noun eidōlon (εἴδωλον "image, form, shape") the diminutive of eidos. Pareidolia is a type of apophenia, seeing patterns in random data.

I have viewed countless images that were deemed evidence and come to find out they were nothing more than Pareidolia. Example: you know how clouds in the sky can look like a "bunny" in form but we know it's not a actual bunny. There are many images that do not seem to be a trick of the eyes after all. We have to be very careful in examining our findings and not jump to conclusions to quickly without taking the time to seek any possible natural explanation. I can't express this enough. Many don't even try or they do a half a$$ job for selfish reasons. It's a type of fraud in my humble opinion.

In 1971, Konstantin Raudive wrote Breakthrough: An Amazing Experiment in Electronic Communication with the Dead, detailing what he believed was the discovery of electronic voice phenomenon (EVP). EVP has been described as auditory pareidolia. The allegations of backmasking in popular music have also been described as Pareidolia.

Ghost Boxes and the related prove to be Pareidolia. The device is a receiver that scans, or cycles, through the radio spectrum. Since it is constantly scanning the airwaves, it generates white noise that is infused with AM and FM stations. Many believe any ghost or demon could then manipulate the spoken words and through the white noise, communicate with the living. The device has dials and other trinkets that help the user hear the sounds more clear to the other side. That’s it. Ones mind can play tricks especially if we really want to hear a demon. When your mind is in that mode it's so easy to hear what we want. Mind over matter type of situation. The power of suggestion is very much a contributing factor as well.

There is also a phenomenon known as hypnogongia. This happens either when we are just falling asleep or just waking up. During this time, many people have very real visual and auditory hallucinations. Again, if someone already strongly believes in the supernatural, they might interpret these experiences as supernatural in origin.

Have you ever heard of The Rorschach Test? The Rorschach test was developed in 1921 by Herman Rorschach. The Rorschach test is a series of ten ink blots of varying patterns and colors. It is believed by many psychologists to be the key to unlocking someone’s psyche. The answers a person gives to the different blobs is supposed to be indicative of their personality. The concept is much akin to palm or tarot card reading. In fact the accuracy of such a test is narrow at best.

Apophenia is a form called pareidolia, people pull shapes or sounds out of meaningless data. The most well known example of pareidolia is probably cloud-gazing, in which people see shapes in the forms of clouds in the sky. Many people also obtain pareidolia when they pull meaningful sounds from static in the radio, and it can sometimes be extremely frustrating, as other people will not recognize those sounds or patterns. Apophenia is an example of what is known in statistics as a type I error, or a false positive. Most people do not bring on apophenia by conscious choice; they simply draw connections where there are none out of a sense of false sensitivity. The behavior of someone with severe apophenia can veer into the absurd, as someone may go to elaborate lengths to support the connections he or she makes, or to avoid particular circumstances.

The Apostles' Creed

By Pastor Stephen Piersall
God's Preservation Ministry, sfprs.org/
Facebook God's Preservation Ministry

THE APOSTLES' CREED

Many variations exist:

“I believe in GOD, the Father Almighty, the Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ,

His only Son, our LORD: Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and buried; He descended into Abraham’s Bosom.

And on the third day, He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sits on the right hand of GOD the Father Almighty; from thence, He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Ghost.

I believe in the holy Catholic Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and life everlasting. Amen.”

The "Apostles' Creed" and its true origins are not precisely known. It is dated approximately 300 A.D., and quickly grown to be the most popular creed used by Western World Christians. By its liberal use of the words "I Believe," it sets forth the standards by which Christians measure themselves, and encouraged faith in all those who pledged it.

It is not called "The Apostles' Creed," because it was written or authored by any of the Apostles, it is called this because it is actually an excellent brief synopsis of what the Apostles taught. Unfortunately, some have the mistaken idea that the word “Catholic" belongs to the Roman Catholic Church, and are puzzled as to why the Apostles' Creed would refer to the Holy 'Catholic' Church. Even so, it is important to understand that the term 'Catholic' simply referred to the "universal" Church of believers, and in no way implied what is Roman Catholicism.


In the big picture, nothing has really changed today. The true church of God is the Universal (Catholic, in Greek) Church, no matter what label man puts upon it by his denominational proclamation. The one Holy Universal Church because it is fulfilling its commitment to go to the ends of the earth with the gospel.

I BELIEVE:

The Apostle's creed begins with the words "I believe.” Before you can begin to examine the statements made in the Creed, the question needs to be asked:
Why do we believe in anything at all?
Why do you believe the things that you do?
Because of your parents?
A teacher or professor?
A friend, religious authority, society, etc.?

The Greek word: Pisteuo

It means to consider something to be true and therefore, worthy of one’s trust and to entrust oneself to an entity in complete confidence. This presentation examines why we come to believe the things that we do and compare it to why we should believe what we do. In the end, the only reason to believe in something - such as Christianity - is because it is true, and this presentation provides evidence as to why anyone should put their faith and trust in the teachings of the Christian faith.

What is a Creed?

Creed- from the Latin word “credo” meaning “I believe” is used to summarize the doctrine that formulated the foundations for the church and not meant to cover the whole Christian faith. It is the fortification of the church to help believers defend themselves against the heretical doctrine. Because the Apostles were no longer living and the Church was beset with errors creeping in, and the creed is the principles in which the body of Christ holds as their standard and guide to measure all codes and teachings within the church.

I prayerfully hope that this summary of the Apostle’s Creed will help those in doubt about God, Faith, and historical background.
