Deliverance from Satanism (Testimony of Jeff Harshbarger - an ex-Satanist - now, Director of Refuge Ministries)

I was an eclectic or self-styled Satanist. In other words, if it worked, I used it. I started out basically a philosophical Satanist; LaVeyan Satanism. But, I found out that there was a 'power' or demons were available, thus I began to pursue traditional Satanism, while holding on to what worked from LaVey; his self-centered philosophies.

Apakah Tuhan membiarkan manusia hidup di dalam dosa?!

Kalau Tuhan seolah-olah membiarkan manusia itu hidup dalam dosa itu adalah supaya manusia mengetahui bahwa betapa sengsaranya hidup dalam dosa; karena hidup di dalam dosa itu berarti hidup di dalam kegelisahan, merasa dikejar-kejar, hati nurani merasa tertuduh setiap hari sehingga manusia itu bila tidak ada jalan keluar akan menjadi stres, hidup dalam ketakutan bahkan bisa menjurus ke depresi, gila, akhirnya memiliki keinginan untuk bunuh diri.

Maksud Tuhan adalah supaya ketika manusia itu mengalami penderitaan batin karena dosa, manusia itu boleh berseru kepadaNya, mencari kebenaran di dalam Dia, memohon ampun kepadaNya, dan hidup di dalam kebahagiaan bersama Dia; kebahagiaan di sini berarti mengalami kepuasan batin yang sejati bersama Tuhan.

Dan jalan keluar setiap masalah dosa manusia adalah adakanlah perdamaian setiap saat dengan Allah dan jalinlah selalu hubungan kasih denganNya; karena kalau kita menjadi musuh iblis, maka masih ada Tuhan sebagai Pembela dan Pelindung kita tetapi jika kita menjadi musuh Tuhan maka sudah bisa dipastikan kita akan selalu terbentur dengan tembok yang sangat dahsyat dan tidak akan bisa menang walaupun dibantu oleh milyaran manusia dan iblis.

Berdamai dengan Allah dan bisa masuk ke surga yang benar-benar surga adalah dambaan setiap orang; dan jalannya tidak banyak melainkan hanya satu, yakni melalui Yesus Kristus yang telah mati untuk menebus segala dosa kita supaya kita boleh hidup dalam perdamaian dengan Allah dan hidup dengan cara yang berkenan bagiNya.

Prophetic Warning

You will find, below, two different messages from to different prophets. The firsst "Laurie" is a friend of mine and she explains why she sent this warning to me and for the same reason, I am posting it for you, my dear reader, to read.

God Bless

I do not know anything about Steve Foss or his ministry (except for taking a quick look at his website). However, I found this word that was forwarded to me today worth sharing. I wish it had been released through proper channels in 2006 or at least early enough to be circulated more widely. However, it was not the only such warning given to us. We stand without excuse � but now with a very large task ahead of us.

Much of his exhortation centers around the election itself. That is now history. I share this to share the warnings it contains to allow us to begin informed intercession NOW to avert as much of this as possible. As Bishop Hamon teaches, we can either fight the war in the spirit or in the natural. The degree to which we win it in the spirit, we do not have to suffer the consequences in the natural. We have lost the battle over the election. Let us begin IMMEDIATELY to war against the potential consequences to our freedoms.

I will add an admonition that was shared with me this past Saturday evening during a conversation with a prophet to whom I relate. We must not this time make the mistake we (the people of God) made with President Clinton. We MUST pray for our President.

A Prophetic Warning from Pastor Steve Foss Sat, 25 Oct 2008 I am writing to you today an urgent message concerning the coming American election. God has released me to share with you a powerful prophecy He gave me eight years ago. I have shared this prophecy in a number of public meetings, but I have never published it for all our friends and partners.

In January of 2000 God gave me an incredible insight into what was about to happen in the coming elections in America over the next decade.

I am not using this e-mail to tell you, who are citizens of America , who to vote for. However, you need to hear what the Holy Spirit is saying. Never in my 22 years of ministry have I seen such a spirit of delusion released upon our country.

In January of 2000, while the Republican nomination for president was far from being decided, God spoke to me that George W. Bush would be the president of the United States . He told me it would be the hardest fought election in American history. I'm sure we can all remember the incredible battle that took place in Florida . He told me that President Bush would be elected to two terms. He told me that during Bush's term there would be a season of unprecedented economic prosperity.

Now despite what the media has said, the economic wealth created during the last eight years was unprecedented. I know the media and one of the political parties has been trying to paint the last eight years as the worst economic time in American history, but it is absolutely untrue. If you look at the wealth created, there were more millionaires created in the last eight years than any time in history. Multitudes of people were able to sell real estate before the housing market collapse, and received incredible transfers of wealth. I could spend hours showing documentation of the wealth created, but suffice it to say, the evidence is there.

God then said to me, "At the end of President Bush's second term there would be an economic collapse." As everyone in the world knows, we have just faced the greatest economic threat since 1929 and the Great Depression. I will speak a little more about the present economic situation a little later in this message.

Every detail that God gave me has come to pass exactly as He said. Now there is one more important thing that God spoke to me. This is the purpose and the reason I am writing this e-mail today. God spoke to me that after George W. Bush, America would elect its most ungodly president ever. I'm going to say that again. God spoke to me that after George W. Bush, America would elect its most ungodly president ever.

As of the writing of this e-mail we are now less than two weeks away from voting for our next president. At this time the polls are strongly showing that the Democratic nominee for president will easily win the White House.

Now in 2006 I began to ask the Lord, "Is that guaranteed to happen in 2008?" He spoke to me very clearly and gave me the key words to what I believe holds this election in the balance right now. He gave me these key words that can forever change what is about to happen in America .

He said, "It depends on the Christians."

I am not going to endorse a candidate, nor am I telling anyone who to vote for. I am simply sharing what God has shown me.

I had a vision earlier this year. I saw Barack Obama in this vision. He was speaking to a large crowd and being broadcast on television. He was speaking incredible words of unity, peace, and bringing all sides together; the words were elegant, the words were comforting, and the words were inspiring.

But while he was speaking I saw all a powerful spirit of violence coming out of his spirit feeding into the spirits of those that were hearing him. That spirit of violence was directed at anybody who opposed what he was saying. Those who heard his words and received it had the spirit of violence being implanted inside of them.

It was a rage like I have not seen before. It was the rage that would be unleashed against those who oppose and stand in the way of Barack Obama's agenda. We are already seeing the beginnings of this spirit manifested here in America . The vicious attacks against Sarah Palin have been unlike anything we have ever seen before. The sheer hate for this woman from people who knew nothing about her, and who claim to stand up and protect the little people, and women, has been shocking.

We now see it with Joe the plumber. These people who are under the influence of this demon spirit of rage desire to completely destroy this man because he dared to question Barack Obama. In fact it wasn't just the question; it was because Barack Obama revealed his true agenda that Joe the plumber became a threat. So the supporters of Barack Obama who had been fed and affected by the spirit of violence went into full swing to destroy a fellow citizen; the very kind of person that Barack Obama has been speaking about in his eloquent speeches, saying how he is the only candidate fighting for them.

I want to put this deep in your spirit. I am speaking as a prophet. The words I'm about to tell you are "thus saith the Lord". If Barack Obama is elected, the attacks against free speech, against those who believe differently than he does, and the systematic use of the government and laws to silence the voice of fundamental Christians will be unlike anything ever seen in this nation before.

I have talked to many Christians, including pastors, not only here in the United States but around the world, who strongly support Barack Obama. Many of them are angry with the Republicans, and understandably so. Others are inspired by the thought of electing America 's first African American president, while others believe Barack Obama to be a Christian who is very concerned with the poor and needy. I am not going to address any of the many concerns about Barack Obama and his form of Christianity. I am only speaking the words of thus saith the Lord, and you have to decide what you're going to do with it.

But I want to remind you, every word God has spoken to me over the last eight years and every word which I have prophesied about the American government and the elections has come to pass.

God does not give this prophecy to scare us, but to prepare us.

God said that the 2008 election is in the hands of the Christians. Just like when God spoke to Jonah about the judgment coming to Nineveh , when the Ninevites repented God withheld judgment; the same can happen in this election. Even though God spoke that America would elect its most ungodly president, He has given us the ability to stay this judgment.

Now you may be asking, "Are you saying that Barack Obama, if elected, would be America 's most ungodly president ever?" Yes! Now I'm not telling you who to vote for. Some people want an ungodly president. That's their choice. I have watched throughout the world, Christians support political leaders who are blatantly ungodly. So again, this is the people's choice.

I believe if the Christians will pray, repent, and hear the voice of God, a miracle can happen on Election Day. This nation lies in the hands of the Christians. Will we humble ourselves before God and pray for His kingdom to come and His will to be done? Or will we allow our emotions, our feelings, our angers, our greed, our race, the opinions of the media, our fears, to dictate to us and affect who we vote for? If you allow these things to affect you, whether you vote for Republican or Democrat, you are not being led by the Spirit.

We must spend time in deep intercessory prayer and cry out for God's mercy upon America . For all our friends who are not in the United States , if Christianity comes under the assaults that it would under a government controlled by Barack Obama and the Liberal Democrats, it will have horrible negative effects on the Gospel throughout the world.

All truth is parallel. People say when America catches a cold, the world suffers a flu. This present financial crisis is proof of that. When America is moral and bows its knee to God, it has incredible positive spiritual impact around the world. However, we have seen over the last several decades, when America becomes more immoral that too affects the world. We need all the Christians around the world to pray for revival to come to America , and for God to have mercy and spare us from this judgment.

Finally, a brief word about the financial crisis. This is not the end time financial crisis. It is very serious, and it is shaking the foundations of the world's economic system. But we will come out of this, and there will be a time again of incredible wealth creation. However, the cracks in the financial system will not be healed. The door has been opened and the way is being made for a one world government system to overtake the world's economics. The world will falsely look at this situation and say that when the governments individually, and with some unified coordination, jumped in to rescue the world, that it prevented a worldwide depression. In the future, when the true end time financial collapse takes place, it will be very easy for the nations of the world and the peoples of those nations to allow a new worldwide governing body to come to the rescue. Understand that everything that is happening has a significant spiritual purpose.

So don't panic by what you see happening today, but take this as a spiritual warning from God. Prepare yourself. Get out of debt. Hear the voice of the Holy Spirit in regards to how you handle money. Let God position you to handle the future complete economic collapse and the overtaking of the world's economic system. Please pray for America . May God have mercy on us all. Your friend, Steve Foss

Delivered from "NEW AGE" (Linda Adams)

I would like to share with others what happened to me nine years ago, and how God became very real to me. My marriage was on the verge of divorce, and I was a young mother with two children under the age of five. Being the type of person who always tends to be trusting of others, I had never known the heartache of betrayal, or experienced the lonliness of separation. When this happened to me, I became very angry, hateful, mistrusting, and bitter. I refused to forgive, even though I knew that it was wrong inside my heart. I truly wanted to change it, but didn't know how.

I started searching for God, and at one point I thought I had found Him, and "the way" to forgiveness and serenity. I had started counseling with a woman who called herself a christian. She was very kind and caring, and never charged me money for her advice. She always had a bible nearby, so I thought she was a christian lady, because of the love that she showed. Her compassion and sympathy towards me, caused me to desire those same characteristics in my own life. I was an open receptical at that point in my life, just waiting for something, (or anything) that would replace all the pain I was feeling. I was looking for something that was "spiritual," because I truly wanted to know God, and have what my older sister always told me about-- A personal friendship with God through Jesus Christ. We were raised to believe in God as children, and brought to different denominational churches, but no one had ever told me what it meant to have a personal relationship with God.

I did not know how to talk to God, or how to get to know Him, and I thought that this woman could help me learn to do that. Together we counseled, read books, and discussed them. Our sessions also included talking about the bible, but we never talked about the parts that say "ALL people sin" . We also prayed together alot, and she would call me at home to check in on me. She convinced me that I needed to further explore my feelings, and so I started meditating with her. Then, she took me further into the supernatural realm, experimenting with healing crystals (or spirit stones), using herbs and teas, and smoking marijuana to relax our minds. At that point, she told me I was ready to go through a "re-birthing," or a deeper kind of meditation technique that she would guide me through. This would also be a way to meet my "spirit guide", or "my higher self.". Our session began as a kind of breathing & cleansing exercise.

She was praying all types of prayers, and laying her hands on me, and referring to my "christ self." I felt as if a surge of power entered my body, and I really thought this was coming from God because it felt enlightening to my spirit. After a very long session with her one day, I felt as if I was in another realm. It was almost like I was floating in the heavenlies, when she said to me "look, here HE is!" When I looked up, I saw what I thought was Jesus Himself walking towards me, with His arms opened wide ready to embrace me. I was in absolute AWE that the Lord Himself would come to ME of all people. "Here it is, I thought, " just what I have been searching for. This "spirit guide" looked similar to what I would imagine Jesus to look like. He was surrounded by a halo of light, he carried a staff, and wore a robe and sandals. When he came towards me, I was actually lifted to my feet by him. He told me that I must forgive my enemies in order to go further with him, and I believed that Jesus Christ Himself had just spoken to me!!!

I rushed home afterwards to call my sister and tell her I had finally met the Lord, and knew what it meant to be born-again of the spirit. My sister questioned me intensely, and then let me know that she felt I had been deceived by an angel of light. "What happened to you is not from God," she said, and suggested that I read 2 Corinthians 11:14, which says that "satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." What I considered to be the most important thing that had ever happened to me, turned into even more confusion. I told my sister that she had had no right to tell me that what I had experienced was not from God. I was really thinking, what a self-righteous hypocrite she was. If that is what it means to be a christian, I didn't want any part of it.

At that point, my sister challenged me to test God, feeling certain that He would prove Himself to me if I was really seeking the truth to know Him. She knew satan and his disguised demons would have to flee, and stop confusing me. She also knew that God is NOT the author of confusion, and I was very confused and angry. At her suggestion, I decided to take a long walk down to the lake near my home. As I went towards a place called "the tressel", I yelled up towards the sky, saying things like "I don't even believe in You anymore." I arrogantly challenged God to prove Himself to me.

Then I sat down, and cried for a long time, until I felt an urge to lift my eyes and look up! Two beautiful bald eagles, flying side by side were coming towards me. They flew right over my head so close to me, that I could feel the wind from their wings. They soared over me together, and then flew back by me one more time before they disappeared down the shoreline. I was awestruck, and I knew that it had to be a sign from heaven. Excitedly, I ran to my car and drove home. I dug my old "Sunday school" bible out of a box, opened it up, and read down the page which nearly shouted out to me saying, "They who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." I had opened the bible to the book of Isaiah, chapter 40:31. As I read on, I started to weep and tell God how sorry I was for being angry at Him. He instantly breathed new life into me, and I knew without a doubt, that I had met the real Jesus Christ that day. HE revealed Himself to me in the most personal way possible, and gave to me a very unique salvation experience. It was so simple, yet at the same time so profound. I still, to this day, feel very "personally" blessed by Him. I shall never forget, and will forever cherish that life-changing experience.

The bible says in the book of Matthew, chapter 7 "ask and you shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened." This world can lead you astray, people will deceive you, the devil can blind you to the truth, and the "new age" movement is an old lie that wants to confuse you even more than you already may be. It teaches that everything is God, God is in everything, and we can be like God. It is very deceiving and alluring, but Jesus Christ is faithful and totally in control of everything.

God almighty sent those two bald eagles to fly by me that day. He knew exactly what I would need that day to ask for forgiveness, and surrender my heart to Him. What an awesome God we serve!

This story is only the beginning of my wonderful relationship with Jesus Christ. My marriage did not end up in a divorce court, because God is faithful to finish the work He has started. I believe that someday, when the time is right, my entire family will also experience that "wind from heaven," and soar on wings like eagles. When this comes to pass, all the glory and honor shall belong to Jesus Christ alone. He alone is worthy to be honored and praised for this testimony!!!
