Heterosexism

Heterosexism. Yet another label to pin on those not comfortable with the fast-changing sexual landscape of America. The word carries all the more weight when it’s being bandied about by someone with a Ph. D in clinical psychology. And for only a $59 registration fee you can find out how to cure your heterosexism and accept a child’s own definition that they are gay, lesbian, or transgendered. Information about this seminar was sent to me by a friend who became aware of her state’s taxpayer-funded effort to validate the wide array of sexual identities assumed by youngsters in the child welfare system. The workshop was developed to comply with a government mandate to endorse all sexual identity choices (bet you didn’t know there was such an edict), the Foster Care Non-Discrimination Act.

There can be no question that children in the foster care system are a confused lot. I minister to many of them, both current and former members of this population. While there are many genuinely sacrificial foster care parents, some see this system as a cash cow and others, even more unscrupulous, join the system to perpetrate sexual abuse on these wards of the state. As a result of such abuse, and the abuse these unfortunate children may have previously experienced at home, there is understandably a lot of confusion, sexual and otherwise. But the stated purpose of this workshop is to “explore how heterosexism has added pain to young people who are already disadvantaged by virtue of their histories of abuse and neglect.” Once you get past the double-speak the intent is clear. Anyone who might suggest that gender identity confusion is not static and may involve moral components you are a heterosexist. Just another fancy word for a bigot.

Something dangerous is happening in our country run a muck with political correctness. Once the appointed thought-police define a particular belief as unprogressive and hateful, they then come up with a name for it and quickly label the offender. You then become liable for whatever retaliation they wish to enforce. It starts with words, labels, designations and then comes the cultural and legal “pogrom” of persecution. Beware those who like labels and are quick to judge, on either side of the political divide, right or left, gay or straight. Ask the question: Who gave you the prerogative to devise your own definition of what’s right, give the deviancy a name, and then suggest that the labeled individual is defective and their ideas unworthy of consideration?

Death by Swallowing

Occasionally I come across strange information that piques my interest. This blog is about that. A writer named Stacy Conradt took the time (I have to wonder who has time for this sort of thing) to research information about people who died by swallowing. Apparently, it’s not all that uncommon. Take writer Tennessee Williams. He choked on the cap to a tube of nose spray, though there was speculation that he also had barbiturates in his system. A member the 80s rock bank Tyrannosaurus Rex took so many drugs that when he drank a cocktail, the cherry lodged in his throat which had been numbed from the dope. He choked to death at age 31. An 18th Century king of Sweden, Adolf Frederick, had 14 servings of hot milk and died of digestion problems. Novelist Sherwood Anderson swallowed the toothpick from an olive in a martini glass and died from internal organs which were punctured. A Navy Lieutenant by the name of Prior had a habit of sticking the tee in his mouth while playing golf. He succumbed to the fungicide used to keep the golf course grass looking beautiful.

This list is longer but you get the idea. Jesus said in Mark 7:20-23, “What comes out of a man that defiles a man. For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. All these evil things come from within and defile a man.” These things are inside a man because he has spiritually and emotionally swallowed them. These things come out because they have been ingested by the heart. What you swallow by the throat may kill you, as evidenced above.  But what you take into your soul will destroy you eternally.  The fact that it proceeds outward indicates that it has previously been spiritually digested inwardly. Beware what you allow your soul to swallow.

Achieving Goals

ACHIEVING GOALS

  1. “Victory belongs to the most persevering.”
  2. “The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided.”
  3. “Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.”

Sage wisdom. Excellent advice we’d all do well to heed. It’s not biblical, but it’s sound and helpful. These words came from Napoleon Bonaparte, who commanded the French army by 26 and by the age of 30 declared himself Emperor of France. Let’s look at his life lessons according to the numbering above.

#1 – Phil. 4:13 puts it this way: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Solomon reminds us in Eccl 9:11: The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.” To which Paul adds, “Run in such a way that you may obtain it [the crown of life] (1 Cor. 9:24). To those who stay the course in Christ, there will be victory.

#2-I’m reminded of the “evil report” of the 10 faithless spies: We were in their own sight as grasshoppers. The children of Israel suffered dearly because they were tormented by precautions far beyond the dangers, and ended up worse by wandering 40 more years in the wilderness.

#3-Jesus said in Luke 18:27, “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” As Napoleon observed, the fool sees impossibilities, but that those with faith see the sure hope of “what we do not see” (Heb. 11:1).

Yep, Napoleon was one smart guy. He was even biblical without perhaps knowing it; that is until his ill-fated invasion of Russia which resulted in the annihilation of the French army and ultimate exile. Beware, even the smart ones go down to defeat when they fail to seek the Lord and proceed with ambition alone.

Python Spirit

You never know who needs deliverance. Take the case of Lora, a middle-aged, African-American woman attending my Detroit seminar.  The more I taught on breaking curses, the more agitated she became. When I approached her with my Cross of Deliverance, she screamed. At the time, I had no idea at the time that she was a deliverance minister, and her pastor was with her.

“My grandmother and mom read tea leaves and did Tarot cards. My father did blood sacrifices,” Lora said. “My ex-husband, Timothy, did a lot of voodoo in New Orleans.”

The Holy Spirit showed me exactly what to do. I looked intensely at Laura and said, “Timothy, you’re hiding in her mind. You’ve done rituals to astral-project into her soul.”

Lora’s lovely face turned hateful. She struggled violently.“How did you know I was here?” a deep male voice thundered forth.  “She belongs to me. I do witchcraft to keep her under my control.”

“You entered her mind illegally,” I declared. “You can’t violate the soul of another person. Go back where you came from and leave your demons behind to be judged!”

After a few tense minutes, the soul-fragment of Timothy left, and I called up the Strong Man.  “My name is Python!” the evil spirit spitted out. (Python is the ruling spirit of African witchcraft.) “Get that Cross away from me!”

I pressed my Cross of Deliverance on Lora and commanded Python to leave. After some jostling about and defiance from the demon, it explosively came out of Lora. She was the happiest woman in Detroit.

Rosy Cross

DATELINE: Liberate London Mission

The Teenage Exorcists and I are safely back in America, but we are still sorting through all the memories of our “LIBERATE LONDON” mission. You’ll recall that earlier this week that I shared the stirring story of Joseph. He’s the young man we met at the subway station while we were doing street evangelism. He told us about making his own Ouija Board. Joseph prayed to accept The Lord and turn his back on the occult and discarded the pentagram pendant he wore around his neck. We later reported how he came to our meeting at Amazing Grace Church of London and broke his handmade Ouija Board. But there’s a sidebar to this story we didn’t mention.

Joseph’s girlfriend Shannon accompanied him to the meeting. After Joseph broke his Board, the couple prepared to leave when I noticed the pendant that Shannon was wearing around her neck, a large crucifix overlaid with three roses and a skull. “Where did you get that?” I asked. Shannon said her mother gave it to her. “Do you know what it signifies?” I asked further. She had no idea, so I explained the meaning of this design. I expect that most readers of this blog have seen similar artistic depictions and had no idea of the significance.

The skull, of course, is a symbol of death and the devil. The three roses also signify death. Roses are beautiful flowers and can mean love and romance. But in the occult, things change. The so-called “Rosy Cross” is symbol of the demonic cult that goes by the name Rosicrucianism (also linked to the Illuminati and Freemasonry). A famous maxim of Rosicrucianism says: “We have the Mason word and second sight. Things to come we can foretell aright.” When coupled with a skull imposed over a cross, the three roses decidedly mean evil. After explaining this to Shannon, she promptly walked to the garbage bin and threw the polluted cross away. What a brave act for this lovely young woman who only an hour earlier had heard the gospel for the first time! How I wish that all mature Christians were so sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

Miracle of Julie

DATELINE: London, July 7, 2013 

In yesterday’s blog I related the miracle of Beth who rode a train 4 hours from Exeter to London seeking deliverance. She was accompanied by her friend Julia who traveled the long distance with her. Beth had been a chaplain in the Church of England, Great Britain’s official state church, but had to take leave due to her severe spiritual oppression. She came to our London seminar on Saturday, July 6, and received a remarkable deliverance. Her exorcism was intense, somewhat violent, and transformational. The next morning, she stood in church during the Sunday service we conducted and gave her testimony. Beth beamed. She spoke of how she felt normal for the first time in her life. (We cast out a demon called Necromancy that had entered her at birth as a result of a 70 generation Freemason curse.)

After Beth’s stirring words affirming God’s grace in her life, I continued to deliver the morning sermon. Then I proceeded to pray for the audience. As is often the case, many began manifesting demons. I could have paused to minister to any one of them, but I felt in my spirit that there was someone special who needed help. Beth and her friend Julia were seated together, and the Holy Spirit kept drawing my attention to Julia. “Lord, that can’t be,” I thought to myself, “Julia is a strong Christian woman, and she’s the one who has been helping Beth.” No matter what I did, the impression grew stronger so I approached Julia with my cross. When I did, this sweet, demure Christian woman began to laugh mockingly. We later learned that Julia was possessed by a spirit of Confusion going back 17 generations to a blood sacrifice of her ancestors.

Moments later, Julia was at the front of the room as I and the Teenage Exorcists performed an exorcism on her. As unassuming as she was, the demons inside Julia screamed hideously. Barely five-feet tall and likely weighing less than 100 pounds Julia fought those holding her with strength that was supernatural. She was finally freed as Beth came to the front to give her friend a victory hug.  This miraculous, and much unexpected, deliverance illustrates the importance of accepting the ministry of exorcism in the church. No one would have expected Julia to have demons, including her. They were hiding, tormenting when they could and waiting for any opportunity to lethally strike.  In Julia’s case, the curse was not only broken on her but also on her two adolescent children. If you don’t yet have my book CURSE BREAKING, please take advantage of the special offer below. You never know what might be lurking in your spiritual DNA, waiting for the chance to attack when you least expect.  As I’ve said many times before.  Get your curses before your curses get you! 

Beth’s Miracle

DATELINE: London, England Seminar, July 6, 2013

After ministering in more than 100 countries of the world, I finally spoke in one of the world’s premier cities – London, England. What a night it was.  The Amazing Grace Church of London was founded two years ago by Pastor Vincent Ten Bouwhuis, from the Netherlands.  Seven years ago he came to our seminars in Germany and got so excited that he flew to America and spent a month of intensive training at our Spiritual Freedom Church of Phoenix. Since then he has ministered all over the world and now pastors a thriving new outreach in the heart of the Muslim area of London.  Our first meeting on Saturday night, July 6, with the Teenage Exorcists, was covered by BBC-TV, the most watched network in England and the largest news network in the world. The cameras captured a truly miraculous deliverance of a woman name Beth, who had ridden a train four hours from Exeter.

Beth discovered me on the internet. She had been a chaplain in the Church of England but her spiritual oppression became so bad that she had to quit. After being turned down by many churches and pastors, she found our YouTube exorcism channel and knew that was what she needed. As the seminar started, I knew none of her story, but that night she dramatically manifested demons. With the help of the Teenage Exorcists, who were with me in England to film a BBC documentary, we battled demonic forces going back through 70 generations of Freemasonry. The most powerful spirit called itself Necromancy, the practice of talking to the dead condemned in Deuteronomy chapter 18 and pursued by many psychics today.  This demon had possessed Beth since birth.

The next day after her deliverance Beth was back for our Sunday morning service at Amazing Grace. She was beaming with a triumphant smile. “I finally have my life back,” she said. “Now I know what it’s like to be normal again after all these years.”

This deliverance was so dramatic that I’m doing something special for this blog. Below is a visual progression of the deliverance as it took place so you too can experience this miracle and inspire your faith for your own miracle from the Lord.

A pictorial of Beth’s exorcism as it happened.

Bob brings Beth to the front and begins to confront her demons. The demon stares Bob’s daughter, Brynne, in the eyes — fully manifested.  The Teenage Exorcists assist Bob in Beth’s exorcism. 

Beth’s demon, Necromancy, challenged Bob and the Teenage Exorcists. It didn’t want to leave, but had no other choice, but to pronounce it’s doom (go to the pit). After the deliverance, Tess anointed her. Beth hugs the Teenage Exorcists, with a smile of relief from the demon that tormented her for years. 

P. S. You must get my DVD of the violent exorcism of Viktor that took place in Siberia, Russia. You’ll see this exorcism in real time, exactly as it happened without editing, something I’ve never done before. For your gift of $50 or more to help erase the financial deficit of our LIBERATE LONDON Mission I’ll send this DVD, THE EXORCISM OF VIKTOR, a display of God’s power you’ll show to everyone.

Decline of Religion

As Americans celebrate July 4th on Thursday this week and remember our separation from Great Britain, I’ll actually be in England. That should be a strange experience, thinking of the Declaration of Independence while in the country we fought to achieve our freedoms. (See special letter above for more information about this mission, LIBERATE LONDON!) But losing America didn’t end the British Empire. Until WWII devastated England, that Emerald Isle was home to the most powerful country on earth. And one of the most religious. Not so today. As I point out in my letter, less than 10% of people in England go to church, compared to more than 30% declared atheists. There are more followers of witchcraft than evangelical Christians. With the Church of England (Anglicans, Episcopalians to Americans) as the state religion, out of 62 million U. K. citizens, only about a million Anglicans ever attend religious services. Commensurately, the fall of religion has accompanied the decline of England as a leading world power. That’s not a good portent for America. While our weekly attendance at church is said to hover slightly under 50%, that may not be the case. According to a study by the Evangelical Covenant Church of America, an actual head count reveals that only 17.7% of Orthodox Christians (Catholic, mainline, and evangelical) show up on any given weekend.This finding is backed by The Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion headed by two prominent sociologists. Why the discrepancy in findings? Researchers call it the “halo effect,” the difference between what people tell pollsters and what they actually do. Out of guilt, Americans over-report their interest in religion.

The answer? 1 Corinthians 1:18 says that, “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.” That’s the problem.  In America we’re good at getting out the message (books, TV programs, radio shows, conferences, etc.) but fail to emphasize the power of the Gospel. Deliverance does that and until we get back to the one miracle that compelled the Early Church – casting out demons — our decline will continue. As England has gone, I fear America will also go unless there is a drastic change in attitudes toward the signs and wonders of God.
