Dutiful Alarm

I had a wonderful weekend. I went to a retreat for women to break their soul and spirit ties. We went to a Catholic Center for a day and a half. The center was incredible. But, the greatest things about it was a room that was build, just for one reason. To find God.

This room had a restriction. No talking. I went to check it out and as soon as I opened the door, I experienced God. Some of the women found the experience so strong that they had trouble standing under the power. I decided that I would come back to the room when no one else was around.

I woke in the morning talking to God. I was discussing with Him the fact that I always have words for others and would like a word for myself this morning. I had been struggling with the usual doubt's about my own walk and needed encouragement. So, I set off for the quiet room.

It was six in the morning and yet there was a women, already, in the room. I found my way to a seat and waited on the Lord to speak to me. The silence was awesome, but I needed a word. I tried to empty my mind, but kept telling God.."I'm here".

Finally, I heard a word. "Dutiful". I was a bit surprised. "Is that a word?" I asked. I kept pondering on this when I heard another word. "Alarm". Ok. I thought. I am a dutiful alarm. What those that mean, I wondered.

Excited that I had heard from God for myself. I left the quiet room after praising God. I found some of the women up. I asked a teacher..."Is there such a word as dutiful". She said it was an old word, but, yes it is a word. I started looking for a dictionary. Finally, one was found.

Dutiful a derivative of Duty.

Duty- an action or task required by a person's position.

Dutiful- performing the duties expected or required of one

So, I am one who does what is required. Then I looked up Alarm.

Alarm- any sound, outcry, or information intended to warn of approaching danger.

There it is. I am a person of God, whom sounds the alarm of danger because it is required of me, by my God.

I was so excited. God had met me and blessed me. I am a dutiful alarm. It was a beautiful and fulfilling weekend. Praise be to the Living God.

"Buta" karena Harta - "Melihat" karena Kasih Tuhan (Amat Paulus Tantoso)

Penghasilan yang diterimanya setiap bulan bisa mencapai miliaran rupiah, demikianlah sukses Amat Paulus Tantoso, pengusaha money changer dan toko emas asal Batam ini. Mengalami masa keemasannya pada tahun 2001, membuatnya meraih penghargaan Pengusaha Muda Terbaik.

"Waktu itu saya sudah mulai sombong, saya pikir saya hebat sekali," Ungkap Tantoso.

Memiliki dua toko emas dan 17 cabang money changer dengan penghasilan besar, tidak lantas membuat Tantoso merasa puas.

"Saya lihat teman-teman saya yang memiliki usaha sembako, kok bisa jadi hebat dan usahanya besar. Hal itu membuat saya timbul niat jahat, saya ingin memonopoli seluruh distribusi gula pasir di seluruh kepulauan Riau. Untuk itu siapa saja yang berusaha menghalang-halangi usaha saya, maka saya tidak segan-segan untuk menghancurkannya."

Kehebatan Kesuksesan yang didapat Tantoso ternyata hanyalah topeng. Dibalik semua kesuksesannya tersebut ada sebuah sisi gelap yang disembunyikan Tantoso.

"Dulu dari seluruh usaha saya, setiap bulan mendapatkan penghasilan satu miliar lebih. Namun kadangkala pengeluaran saya lebih besar dari penghasilan, karena saya selalu mengajak teman-teman saya untuk pesta narkoba, main perempuan dan pergi ke tempat hiburan malam. Satu malam saya bisa habis 40 hingga 50 juta."

Tidak hanya itu, hubungannya dengan istri sudah tidak harmonis lagi. Dihadapan orang-orang, pasangan ini terlihat sangat harmonis, namun Suti, istrinya seringkali dipukuli dan dianiaya olehnya. Tangisan dan rintihan istrinya tak pernah digubriskan. Rasa putus asa Suti membuatnya mengambil jalan pintas dengan mencoba bunuh diri.

Suatu saat Suti mendapatkan imformasi dari seorang teman dekat Tantoso bahwa suaminya berselingkuh. Suti tidak dapat mempercayai hal itu. Suti semakin sedih, kalut dan sakit hati sehingga dia meminta di ceraikan oleh Tantoso.

Diancam cerai oleh istrinya tidak mengubah tabiat Tantoso sama sekali, bahkan hal itu semakin membuat Tantoso membenci istrinya. Ketika kemarahannya memuncak, Tantoso sanggup melakukan hal yang sangat mengerikan.

"Saya pikir istri minta cerai tidak apa-apa. Saya punya uang, dengan itu saya bisa dapat istri lagi kok."

Hari itu Tantoso pulang dalam keadaan mabuk dan ditegur oleh istrinya. Hal tersebut membuat Tantoso naik pitam. Tantoso mengambil samurai hendak membunuh istri dan kedua anaknya. Namun saat samurai itu sudah terhunus, kilasan wajah anak keduanya membuatnya berhenti dan mengurungkan niatnya.

Anak kedua Tantoso dan Suti telah meninggal dunia sewaktu masih kecil. Demikian Tantoso menuturkan kisah kematian anaknya, "Pada hari kejadian, saya dan istri akan pergi ke rumah mertua saya. Karenanya anak kami itu kami tinggalkan di jaga oleh pembantu saya saat itu. Pada malam itu, ada acara joget di kampung kami, dan pembantu kami meninggalkan anak kami tersebut dirumah sendirian. Anak kami tersebut menangis hingga mati lemas."

Akibat kematian anak keduanya, Suti hampir saja gila. Itulah yang membuat Tantoso dan istirinya pindah ke Batam, supaya bisa melupakan kejadian yang memilukan itu.

Mengingat rasa kehilangan yang sangat besar akan anaknya yang kedua membuat Tantoso menyarungkan kembali samurai yang telah dihunusnya.

Sekalipun rumah tangganya diambang kehancuran, Tantoso tetap berjaya dalam usaha kotornya, sampai hukum menjeratnya.

"Pertama kali saya didakwa tentang penyeludupan uang atau money laundry, namun hal tersebut tidak terbukti. Dan selanjutnya didakwa lagi dengan korupsi uang perusahaan, saya menolak dakwaan tersebut dan saya buktikan bahwa perusahaan tersebut adalah milik saya sendiri. Pada akhirnya saya didakwa dengan kasus penggelapan pajak."

Perkiraan Tantoso hukumannya hanya satu tahun saja, karena kasusnya adalah kasus perdata. Namun perkiraan tersebut salah, Tantoso dituntut hukuman 4 tahun 6 bulan penjara dan denda belasan miliar rupiah. Merasa di khianati oleh rekan bisnisnya, hati Tantoso menjadi terbakar kebencian. Rasa sakit hatinya membuat Tantoso berniat melakukan sesuatu yang nekat.

"Saya merasa dendam sekali kepada orang-orang yang memasukkan saya ke penjara. Dalam pikiran saya, saya ingin menghancurkan mereka. Bahkan saya sempat mengorder orang untuk membunuh orang-orang itu."

Tetapi ancaman hukuman yang lebih berat lagi membuat Tantoso mengurungkan niatnya itu. Dipenjara itulah Tantoso merasakan kesengsaraan yang amat sangat, dia tidak bisa menerima keadaanya itu. Namun kesengsaraan itu tidak dialaminya sendiri, namun juga harus ditanggung oleh istri dan anak-anaknya. Satu per satu hartanya disita, dan dalam sekejab hutang perusahaan semakin membengkak.

"Anak-anak saya sangat drop sekali. Anak-anak malu ke sekolah, karena banyak orang menanyai mereka: bapak kamu yang dulu hebat, kenapa sekarang dipenjara?- "

Melihat penderitaan suami dan anak-anaknya, Suti berusaha dengan berbagai cara untuk mengeluarkan Tantoso dari penjara. Namun semua upayanya untuk melepaskan suaminya dari penderitaan sia-sia belaka. Nama dan reputasi Tantoso dalam sekejab hancur.

Tantoso merasa tertekan dan stress, hal itu membuatnya mengambil keputusan untuk mengakhiri semua penderitaan dengan cara bunuh diri.

"Saya masih ingat, hari itu hari Sabtu. Saya merasa stress dan tidak berharga lagi. Hidup ini seperti sampah yang sangat kotor, dan dibuang orang. Karenanya hari itu saya berniat untuk bunuh diri."

Pada saat Tantoso sedang memikirkan rencananya untuk bunuh diri, tiba-tiba seorang teman napi mengajaknya ke aula dimana sedang ada sebuah pertemuan.

"Waktu itu, saya pikir oke-oke saja. Karena disana ada nyanyi-nyanyian. Jadi saya ikut saja."

Dengan maksud mencari hiburan, Tantoso masuk ke dalam ruangan pertemuan itu. Disana dia mendengarkan seorang nenek yang sedang menceritakan tentang dirinya. Disitulah awal keajaiban terjadi dalam hidup Tantoso.

"Oma Magie hari itu bersaksi, beliau setiap hari membaca koran tentang kasus saya, dan beliau bersama suaminya selalu berdoa bagi saya setiap hari. Waktu itu saya berpikir, Tuhan Yesus memang baik. Hidup saya yang dipandang orang sudah tidak berguna, tapi Tuhan Yesus begitu baik, masih ada orang yang menyayangi saya. Dengan oma itu, saya tidak memiliki hubungan apa-apa. Saya bahkan tidak kenal dengan beliau, tapi mengapa dia mau mengasihi saya? Sebelumnya saya berharap kepada teman-teman pengusaha dan keluarga, namun mereka semua menjauhi saya. Tapi orang Kristen ini mengapa begitu mengasihi saya? Hal itulah yang membuat saya ingin tahu, apa itu Kristus." Hari itu Tantoso mengijinkan nenek Magie untuk mendoakannya.

Dalam kesendiriannya, Tantoso mulai datang pada Tuhan dan berdoa memohon ampunan dari-Nya.

"Saya pikir, saya ini orang yang sangat jahat dimata Tuhan. Saya merasa seperti sampah yang sangat kotor. Saya minta Tuhan Yesus ampuni dosa-dosa saya. Saya juga berdoa, kalau Engkau Tuhan yang dasyat maka Engkau akan menyelamatkan aku."

Diluar dugaan, saat vonis dijatuhkan, Tantoso hanya dikenakan hukuman dua tahun penjara.

"Pada saat saya di persidangan, saya tidak lagi menyembah yang lain-lain lagi. Saya hanya menyembah kepada Tuhan Yesus. Hati saya sangat bersukacita, karena Tuhan Yesus sudah menyelamatkan saya. Ternyata Tuhan sangat baik. Saya menjalani hukuman dengan senang, karena didalam firman Tuhan mengatakan, "Pencobaan-pencobaan yang kamu alami ialah pencobaan-pencobaan biasa, yang tidak melebihi kekuatan manusia. Sebab Allah setia dan karena itu Ia tidak akan membiarkan kamu dicobai melampaui kekuatanmu. Pada waktu kamu dicobai Ia akan memberikan kepadamu jalan ke luar, sehingga kamu dapat menanggungnya (1 Korintus 10:13). Disitulah saya pikir, hal itu benar juga. Dibandingkan orang lain, pencobaan yangs alami masih kecil"

Selama menjalani hukumannya, Tantoso menjalaninya dengan penuh sukacita dan pengharapan kepada Tuhan. Iapun mendapatkan remisi, sehingga pada tanggal 29 September 2005, Tantoso sudah bisa menghirup udara bebas.

"Saya bersyukur karena saya sudah bertobat. Sekiranya saya tidak diselamatkan oleh Tuhan Yesus, maut yang akan mengejar saya. Dan jika saya tidak masuk ke penjara, saya tidak akan mau bertobat."

Berlahan-lahan Tantoso dan Suti mulai membenahi keluarganya dan juga melunasi hutang-hutang perusahaannya. Dan kini keadaan usahanya sudah kembali membaik.
"Saya bangga dengan Tuhan Yesus yang memberi saya kelegaan pada waktu saya putus asa dan merasa tidak berguna lagi. Tuhan Yesus datang memberikan keselamatan tepat pada waktunya. Saya sangat bersyukur, setelah saya bertobat saya baru merasakan hidup ini banyak keindahan. Semua itu karena Tuhan Yesus selalu menyertai kami."

Ateis Masuk Kristen (C.S. Lewis)

Selama bertahun-tahun, C.S Lewis penulis karya Narnia, merupakan seorang ateis yang sangat sulit untuk diyakinkan tentang keberadaan Tuhan. Dibutuhkan pergumulan intelektual yang panjang sebelum Lewis akhirnya menerima keberadaan Tuhan. Lewis seringkali membombardir teman-temannya di Oxford, tempatnya belajar dan tempat dimana akhirnya ia mengajar, dengan pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang Tuhan yang baginya memang tidak ada jawabannya.

Deliverance from New Age Spirit Channeling (Janice Beakstead)

I was raised in Salt Lake City in a Mormon home. During my High School years I started to question TRUTH in general and rebelled against my parents by denying that the Mormons were the only group with truth. Shortly after graduating from High School I met a man who was very interesting. He seemed to really have it together and I ended up thinking he was and had the truth about life, why we are hear and all the important reasons for living. He introduced me to a few books that were spiritually written (I think the term they use is automatic handwriting) by a spirit named Seth. I can no longer remember the name of the author. The main teaching in these books were that "You create your own reality" and are in complete control of everything. The books also did a good job of taking away the significance of the Bible and what Jesus accomplished for us on the cross.

A few years after reading and trying to live my life like Seth suggested my sister in law invited me to a meeting where a woman was spirit channeling. This group of people were disciples of "The Urantia Book". This was about 1990. I purchased a copy of that book and began attending these meetings weekly on a regular basis. We all thought that we were so special to be part of this. The main spirit that was channeled was named Ham and he would speak through this woman for about an hour and than open the floor for questions and answers. It was quite an experience and the spirit was so full of love and good teachings that we were truly convinced that this was all part of God's plan. That these spirits were sent to us by God to start this group and to see it grow to a world wide movement. We each had a spiritual helper assigned to us. We were encouraged through meditation to communicate to our helper (I always referred to it as my 'thought adjuster'. I look back on it I was I never able to actually channel a spirit but I did feel it's influence on my life. I would sometimes have very vivid dreams about things and I think it would communicate to me that way.

Anyway, to make a long story shorter in August of 1992 a very dear friend of mine who was channeling spirits in the state of Washington had tested the spirits she was directly dealing with. A friend of hers had recently become a "born again" Christian and she had told my friend that she needed to test these spirits to find out if they were really sent by God. We had never experienced any evil coming from these spirits and because the lessons and teachings were all about being a better person in the world we just simply knew that they must be from God. I went to a retreat for the weekend and I had a spiritual experience that had completely convinced me that we were doing exactly what God wanted us to do. My friend called me after I returned and I told her that there is really no reason to test these spirits because they are so loving and kind. She wasn't so convinced probably because she was more intimately connected to them. She prayed to Father God and asked him to reveal the truth about them to her and God honored that request. The spirits were forced to leave her and God convinced her of who they really were from. She called me to tell me about her experience and convinced me to pray and ask God to reveal the truth about them to me. God honored that and I had a dream that night about the most hideous ugly beings you can possible imagine. I woke up knowing without a doubt that we were being deceived.

It is very interesting to look back on this event. I can truly see God working in my life even before I became his child. I was able to feel an evil presence around me to such a degree that I never again want to experience. I had to constantly rebuke them and force them to leave me alone. Only by the power of Jesus was I able to accomplish this. I was down on my face begging for God to make them leave and asking Him to forgive me in believing that they were from Him. The spiritual attack's lasted for several months and decreased in intensity as time went by. I was in constant prayer and God truly protected me through out this whole ordeal.

Shortly after discovering the demons that had moved into my life I read a book by Hal Lindsay called "Satan is alive and well on planet earth". This book changed my life. At the end of the book Mr.. Lindsay explains how to become "born again". I asked God to please reveal to me TRUTH. Do I go back to the Mormon Church or what? I asked Jesus to forgive me of my sins and to please be in my life. God showed me that the only thing I need to know about truth is his Word the Bible. I began reading from it and for the first time in my life it made sense and came alive for me.

I am truly a new creation in Christ and have for nearly ten years seen God work in my life. It will always amaze me that I was so deceived. I wasn't connected with the "Occult" or part of a Satan worshiping group but the result was the same. I was putting my faith and belief in the Father of Lies and headed straight to Hell. Praise God for saving me.

TESTIMONY OF AN EX-MUSLIM LAWYER - STORY OF 25 YEARS LONG PERSECUTION IN PAKISTAN (Martyr)

INTRODUCTION: My name is G. Ahmed Rana (LL.M) 39 year old. I am a lawyer from Pakistan. I belong to an extremist Muslim clan of Islamic Republic of Pakistan. I completed study course of Holy Bible when I was 15 year old. Due to my pro-Christian faith I have been suffered 25 year long persecution in a Muslim country Pakistan. 

Testimony of Annie Fintan - A Former Occult Member and Ex-Witch, now in Christ & serving in Deliverance Ministry at Refuge Ministries

From the time I was very young, I felt that I was different from the other kids that I knew. I was incredibly sensitive to things of a spiritual nature. Without having an explanation, I often knew things that I had no natural way of knowing. I knew there was a spirit realm, because I had seen spirits. Since I knew of their presence, it seemed only natural to seek what I could learn from them.

Annie Fintan - an Ex-Witch - Speaks on Territorial Spirits

As a Christian, I have heard various theological viewpoints on different issues. I generally prefer to stay out of the arguments that surround these opinions. However, one in particular has drawn my attention recently.

Due to the fact that I am a former witch, it is not uncommon for people to ask my opinion on the spirit realm.

Lately there has been a lot of teaching about Territorial Spirits and it is rapidly gaining in popularity. Naturally, those who have heard this teaching have many questions.

I have been asked whether I believe that territorial spirits do exist. However, I cannot give a simple "yes" or "no" answer to that question. The truth is, I really do not know. In fact, I don’t think any human knows. It concerns me that some of these beliefs border on superstition, and I believe they should be closely examined.

Those who teach of Territorial Spirits often use Daniel 10:12-13 as the basis for their teaching. This passage tells of an angel of God who was intercepted by the "prince of the kingdom of Persia". There are various opinions of what was actually meant by this passage of Scripture, but I am going to set those aside for the moment.

I would like to point out that one of the first things the angel said to Daniel was "Do not fear."

I have seen many people who have heard these teachings led into tremendous fear, rather than faith in a God who is All-Powerful. They become terrified at the slightest disturbance in their life, and are sure that a demon is responsible. I have to think that the devil doesn’t even mess with these people, because he already has them where he wants them. They are defeated once they have lost their faith and trust in God.

On the other side, I have watched people become obsessed with the spirit realm, to the point that their entire Christian walk is based on fighting it.

Throughout the Bible, we are reminded that we as Christians have nothing to fear. We are also told that our focus is to be on Christ, and if our focus is on anything else, it will damage our relationship with Him.

When we meet challenges in our lives, it would be easy to blame our difficulties on the demonic. However, there are many causes for our day to day problems that have nothing to do with demons. God uses the trials that we face to strengthen us and to bring us closer to Him. But it seems that many get so busy warring with the principalities that they see as the source of their problems, that they forget to turn to God at all. We so easily forget that ultimately we can do nothing in our own strength. The battle is God’s and Satan has already been defeated!

Daniel 10 actually speaks of a spiritual battle that was not fought on earth and was directed by God Himself. The demon did not ruin God’s plan, and Daniel was not ordered to take authority and bind this demon. He was actually not even asked to pray about the matter.

God does not need our help. Nowhere in the Bible are we told to rebuke Satan or his demons. We are told to put on the full armor of God and resist evil. We are instructed to intercede on the behalf of those who are deceived, not bind and take authority. When the Bible does speak of binding, Jesus is the one who does it, without any human involvement.

As Christians, we are not to spend our time obsessed with identifying and fighting demons. The commission we have been given is to share the love of God with those around us. I am concerned that we may be loosing sight of what God has asked us to do.

I have also been asked if, in my travels as a witch, I set up demonic strongholds and claimed certain areas for the entities that I served. People want to know if I tried to take control of locations so that Christians would be ineffective.

My answer to that is a most definite "No". As a witch, I had no interest whatsoever in anything the Christians were doing. I believed that those I served already owned the earth or were a part of it, so there was no need to stake a claim. I did not believe the Christian God had any power, so I had no reason to occupy myself with challenging Him.

If I had encountered Christians battling to break strongholds that they assumed I had set up, I would most likely have found it amusing. Their fervor would not have impressed me in the least. If anything, it would have left me with a bad impression of God’s people.

However, when I encountered God’s Love through His people, although I was demon possessed I could not help but be affected. No one tried to bind the spirits within me, or take authority of them. No big show was needed, just God’s love, and that is what transformed my life.

So while I cannot give you a definite answer on whether Territorial Spirits exist, I certainly believe that if they do, they cannot hinder God’s plan.

The truth is that we live in a fallen world, and we may actually encounter demons from time to time. Whether or not these demons are Territorial Spirits seems of no consequence to me. They cannot interfere with God’s plan, because He defeated them on the cross. The only way that they have any control over us is if we give them that control, either by taking our focus off of God, or by fearing their demonic abilities.

I do not believe that as Christians, we need to say certain words in a certain way to avoid the demonic. If we are challenged by a demon, we need only to tell it to go. We are not told to go looking for them, or to rebuke them.

As God’s people, let’s not get caught up on peripheral issues that ultimately are of no consequence. Our relationship with Christ is what is important.

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.

Laurie



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.

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!!!

Busy Spirits

I got a call the other day that caused me to take another hard look at myself and my brothers and sisters in Christ. The caller was a member of my prophetic team. Her story and question went as followers.

"Every other Thursday, I work at the church getting food ready to give out. Lately, while I am working I see things moving out of the corner of my eyes. So, I made a conscious effort to stop and see what it was. I am seeing spirits. Not just one, but many. They are so busy. Running about and in a hurry. What is going on....why are they so busy?"

My heart became heavy with the confirmation of what I already knew, but had hoped was a mistake on my part.

"They are preparing of the nearness of the end of age" I responded to her.

We have a sense that time is short, but unlike the spirit realm we are to dull spiritually to prepare. The spirits know the urgency and the seriousness of what is to come.

Revelation 12:12
Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.

My fear of the Lord grows. I look to Him in fear and trembling knowing the age of evil is upon us and that I am not, nor perhaps will I ever be ready enough for this time. My spiritual strength lacks. But, my hope is there.

I have to make a determined effort to grow in spiritual endurance and power. To see God in everything and to seek truth. I ask God daily for clarity in this moment and know that He will answer me. Praise be to the Most High and peace to its inhabitants.

HEART ATTACK!!!!!

So...I am radio active. Cool!!!

Yesterday, I was sitting in my living room, when I suddenly started to have some pain. My jaw began to hurt. Then the pain moved into my neck and my chest became tight. The pain in my neck and jaw was quite painful. I suspected that I was having a heart attack. My son has been a first responder and he thought I was having a heart attack. So, I went to the hospital where they thought I might be having a heart attack.

Stayed over night. It is a terrible thing to be a Christian sensitive and to be in the hospital. I was woke up every hour by a different spirit in my room. They would wake me up, I would see them, look at the clock and complain. Not happy that my sleep was being interupted.

In the morning I got into this long line a wheel chairs to take a stress test, where they injected a raio active compond. My husband says I will glow tonight for Halloween. Anyways, the outcome is that there is no damage to my heart and it does not look like I had a heart attack.

The theory is that I blew a blood clot. Scary theory, but I am alright now. When this event was happening to me, I talked to God. I said to Him, "I really do not think that my time is up here. It seems that You have much more for me to do. So, I am going to relax and get through this thing>"

I was right and God is good. Still more for me to do. I am, however, sore from multiple medical procedures and weary from lack of sleep. I do not always understand the presence of spirits. But, I hope that I move on after my death and do not linger in some medical facility.

Watching God Move

God is so good!!! So gracious!!!

A few weeks back, with an inner healing, I saw another of God's miracles. We met with a young woman whom had many issues from her past and wanted freedom. The healing was going on well when I suddenLy realized that she had some mental illness.

God spoke to me, so I asked the question. "Do you ever lose time." One of the members on my team spoke up and said "Yes she does." An example was that one night her husband found her outside, in the middle of the night, getting in her car to go somewhere. She did not remember nor know where she was going. She shared with me that she loses time often.

She had, also, shared earlier in the healing, that she had an invisible playmate when she was young called "Curt". I sat back in my chair and had a conversation with God. Here I am trained in the natural to deal with Dissociative Disorder or Multiple personality disorder and yet God was taking me to a spiritual healing. My natural training kicked in, for a moment. But, then my understanding of whom God is broke through the natural and I said to myself "God can take care of this." So, I began to pray through and watch God bring this woman back together.

Now, I had to let go of all the natural training that I have had and just let God be God. I asked to speak to "Curt" just in case "Curt" was a personality instead of an invisible playmate. I, also, by this time had come to the belief that we were looking at demons not alternate personalties.

Sure enough, her breathing changed, her attitude and her body posture. Next thing I knew, she lunged forward in her chair and came within inches of my face. It startled me, but I knew not to let this show nor to back down myself. This thing became threatening. So, I told it to be quite and sit back. There was a reluctance to sit back, but with the name of Jesus being spoke, she sat back.

Off and on there was threatening jesters. Several lunges at me and snide remarks. Trying to be tough and disarming. We remained in prayer and sought the Lord in every word that came out of my mouth.

There were tow demons. To boys. Both were rather mean and did not want to leave. For the woman sitting in front of me, she was floating in an out of reality. She would be there one moment then the next gone. These demons spoke often, so I bound them up so that they would not try to control the situation nor influence that woman either.

Deliverance came after a short while. It was beautiful to see and to know that God's truth are always founded in His hand. He reached down to this woman and set her free. She had been drawn several time to kill herself and had cut her arms to destroy the body. The new woman I met in that moment of deliverance was truly a woman of light.

She continues to walk free. She is gifted in the supernatural and I am sure that this is why, this assignment to destroy, had been put on her. She is young and has a wonderful life, with Christ, ahead of her. Freedom.....freedom...God is so true to His promises. Man would say that someone suffering in this way has very little hope of a stable and joyful life. But, God says, "Be healed by my name" and with that all things are possible.

Introducing My Son

I have been very busy with Inner Healings and deliverances. So, busy that I am schedualed to work nearly every night. My oldest son has come to stay with us while he is in between jobs and has found his giftings.

The Lord has been very good to him and he has come along side of me to help with my ministry. It is a delight to have him on board. His growth in Christ is amazing.

So, let me introduce you to him. He has started a new blog that I will help co-write, as will several others on my team. Here is a link to his blog Kansas Exorcists Society.

The Slumbering Chruch

I was walking into church the other day when I was stopped by one of the worship leaders. He wanted to tell me of a dream he had. In the dream he was leading worship but, fell asleep. When he woke up, in the dream, and looked out into the congregation, they were now asleep. He said that, at this point in the dream, I got up and walked to the front of the church and said, "the church will no longer slumber". He wanted to know if I knew what this dream meant.

I got very excited about his dream. For a year now, God has been talking to me about the slumbering church. This made my friend excited as well.

As the church slumbers the world seep in. We become tolerant to the things that are sins to our God. We become lazy in our Bible study, our prayer life and our everyday walk with the Lord. We quit walking in the gifts of God and the authority of the Father.

I look to myself in this slumber and see that I too, have fallen prey to this spirit of slumber. I am very busy with ministry, but take little time for a quiet moment with God.

With a closer look at myself, I ask myself "do I walk in the fruit of the Spirit or do I ignore the fruit."

Galatians 5:22-23
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

I began to look at what the opposite of these fruits would be and sure enough, especially in my thought life, I found that I have a long to go.

Love= The opposite of love is to detest or dislike.
Joy= The opposite of joy is sadness, sorrow, unhappiness.
Peace= The opposite of peace is, disharmony, disagreement, war, fighting.
Patience= The opposite of Patience is agitation, frustration, intolerance
Kindness= The opposite of kindness is cruelty, harshness, meanness.
Goodness= The opposite of goodness is evil, indecency, meanness, wickedness.
Faithfulness= The opposite of faithfulness is dishonesty, falseness, inconstancy.
Gentleness= The opposite of gentleness is harsh, cruel, violent, sudden, wild, unruly
Self-control= The opposite of self-control is agitation, rashness.

It tore at my spirit when I realized how far from the fruits I truly have been. So, then I must look at the ways to overcome this slumber and begin to walk into the righteousness of God.

2 Corinthians 10:5
We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Begin anew, to catch every thought and bring it into alignment with the Word of God. To praise Him all day and meditate on His promises.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

To put on the armor of God and to never take it off.

Ephesians 6:10-18
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

Wake up Church!!! Do you not see that the time in nigh for the Lords return. Wake up!!!!

BERTEMU DENGAN PARA MALAIKAT SURGAWI YANG PALING BERKUASA

(Pendeta Buck sudah bertemu dengan Malaikat Gabriel beberapa kali, Kesaksian kali ini tentang pertemuan dengan Mikhael - Malaikat Perang Surgawi yang paling berkuasa)

Kira-kira jam 2 pagi pada suatu hari senin, saya terbangun karena mendengar suara ribut di lantai bawah rumah kami. Segera saya menyelidiki apa yang menyebabkan ribut itu. Di lantai bawah saya melihat pemandangan yang paling menakjubkan. Ada 4 Malaikat yang tinggi besar sedang berdiri di ruang duduk kami dan saya tahu bahwa sesuatu yang luar biasa sedang terjadi.

Jesus Christ - The The Son of God, The Lamb of God, The Saviour, The Redeemer, Lord of lords and King of kings, The Bridegroom

Ready Or Not, Jesus Christ is coming soon!

Satu Kota Bertobat: HEMET, California, USA

Kota yang terletak di lembah ini dulunya memiliki masalah yang serius, sangat sering melakukan praktek satanisme, okultisme, transcendental, sihir, pengajaran sesat, yoga, perdagangan kokain, premanisme, bidat-bidat, dll.

Kota ini juga dikenal sebagai kota bagi para pensiunan, yang mau “hidup enak” tanpa mau diganggu orang lain. Tetapi dibalik gaya hidup santai ini terdapat “sisi gelap” yang mengintai.

Di kota ini juga terdapat kelompok preman yang jahat sehingga polisi tidak mau pergi ke kota ini bila tanpa bantuan yang cukup. Bahkan kelompok preman ini sempat merusak gereja San Jacinto Assembly of God yang digembalai oleh pendeta Gordon Houston.

Selain premanisme, kota ini juga salah satu pusat perdagangan obat bius, kira-kira ada 9 pabrik di kota ini yang menghasilkan Amphetamine. Biasanya para penyelundup amphetamine ini menyamarkan truk mereka sebagai truk pengangkut ternak.

Pertobatan kota Hemet tidaklah datang dengan mudah, 2 hamba Tuhan (pendeta Bob Beckett dan pendeta Gordon Houston) ini pada awalnya tidak menyenangi kota yang terletak di lembah itu, karena kota itu penuh dengan kekerasan dan terletak 18 Km dari jalan tol. Tetapi Tuhan berkata kepada pendeta Beckett,”Maukah engkau menghabiskan seluruh hidupmu di lembah ini bagiKu?” dan Tuhan juga berkata kepada pendeta Houston,”Aku mempunyai sebuah rencana jikalau engkau membuat komitmen atas tempat ini.” – Kemudian mereka membeli sebidang tanah kuburan di pinggir kota dan mulai berkomitmen dan menyerahkan hidup mereka untuk kota itu.

Dipenuhi dengan kerinduan yang baru atas masyarakat kota itu, mereka dengan beberapa orang memulai komitmennya dengan doa puasa semalam di sebuah pondok di pinggir kota dekat gunung; mereka juga melakukan doa syafaat secara intensif, bukan saja intensif tetapi juga berdoa secara fokus pada masalah-masalah yang terdapat dalam kota itu; mereka tahu jika mereka berdoa maka mereka telah menyentuh sesuatu di alam roh.

Dan ternyata tidak lama setelah itu…hasilnya sangat mengesankan, jumlah anggota kelompok okultisme yang pernah menjadi ancaman menurun hingga 3-10% dari jumlah penduduk, bidat Kristen masih ada tetapi banyak kelompok sesat lainnya telah lama pergi; pusat pelatihan meditasi transcendental terbakar habis tapi herannya tidak membakar bangunan di sebelah kiri dan kanannya; hasil lainnya adalah jumlah orang yang meninggal dan yang masuk penjara karena premanisme berkurang hingga tidak pernah terjadi lagi. Bahkan suatu kali ketika pendeta Houston sedang berkhotbah, salah satu anggota geng yang terkenal jahat di kota itu masuk ke dalam gereja, menghampirinya dan berkata,”Aku ingin diselamatkan sekarang juga.” Selanjutnya anggota-anggota geng yang ikut bertobat, dan sebagai bukti pertama setelah pertobatan mereka, mereka membersihkan grafiti yang pernah mereka buat di dinding gereja. Lalu pendeta Houston dan jemaat juga berdoa kepada Allah bagi seluruh keluarga mereka yang lain agar memberikan kesempatan kepada mereka untuk datang kepada Tuhan, dilepaskan dari pengaruh narkoba dan diselamatkan. Dan … Allah benar-benar melakukannya terhadap seluruh keluarga mereka; semua anak muda dan setiap orang datang untuk mengenal Tuhan; mereka meninggalkan kegiatan obat bius dan geng mereka.

Segalanya sungguh berubah, … menurut Sony, mantan pengedar obat bius yang telah bertobat: perdagangan obat bius di kota itu menurun hingga 75%, semua ini berkat para pendoa syafaat; peristiwa ini membuat usaha obat bius di kota itu bernilai jutaan dollar menjadi gulung tikar.

Jumlah jemaat di gereja San Jacinto (Assembly of God) yang digembalai oleh pendeta Houston kota itu menjadi peraih nilai akademik tertinggi dan jumlah putus sekolah terendah di seluruh kawasan Amerika Barat. Seluruh masyarakat di kota itu bekerja sama, memerangi dan mengusir kuasa iblis dari kota itu.

Gereja-gereja di kota Hemet tidak lagi tercerai-berai namun sekarang bergabung dalam satu kesatuan, yakni perhimpunan orang percaya. Mereka saling berlomba secara positif, bahkan saling bertukar mimbar: misalnya Pendeta “Baptis” berkhotbah di gereja “Pentakosta” dan sebaliknya. Pelayanan mimbar tidak lagi dibatasi oleh sekat-sekat denominasi, dan hal ini mengubah kehidupan bergereja serta mempererat tali persaudaraan di antara mereka.

Bahkan puluhan gereja di kota Hemet pernah mensponsori suatu kegiatan sosial yang dinamai “Convoi of Hope / Konvoi Pengharapan” dimana ribuan penduduk menerima makanan gratis, pakaian, layanan medis, dan “suntikan” kasih Allah. Hasil dari pelayanan ini, 300 orang memberi hati mereka kepada Kristus.

Gereja-gereja di kota Hemet telah mengalami arti GEREJA yang sesungguhnya, tidak hanya duduk di dalam ruang tembok tertutup, namun bertindak dan “menyentuh” kehidupan orang-orang di sekitar mereka. Mereka menyadari bahwa yang terpenting bukanlah membangun gedung gereja, tetapi juga membangun umat Allah, Tubuh Kristus; bukan sekedar memperbanyak gedung gereja, tetapi menumbuhkan kerajaan Allah.

Hemet memang bukanlah kota yang sudah sempurna, tetapi Hemet telah mengalami perubahan yang sangat besar oleh kuasa Allah dan masyarakat kota Hemet tidak sama lagi seperti yang dahulu.

Dilepaskan dari kuasa Gelap - NN

Syallom, Saya mau sharing kesaksian saya. Bagaimana saya masuk dalam dunia olkutisme dan kuasa Gelap.

Sejak kecil saya bisa melihat roh orang meninggal (informasi ini didapat dari ibu saya, yang suka mengatakan bahwa saya melihat kakek saya, ato om saya makan bareng semeja), dan saya pernah dijual ke wihara karena sering2 sakit, saya di sekolah Katolik dan tahu mengenai Yesus, tapi saya tidak memperhatikannya.

“Topik Pembicaraan” dari TUHAN

Perbandingan “Perjanjian Lama” (Torat) dan “Perjanjian Baru” (Injil) bagaikan membandingkan antara bayangan manusia dan manusia itu sendiri, antara tubuh dan roh, antara “luar” dan “dalam”, lahiriah dan batiniah.

WASPADA!!! Inilah Salah Satu Contoh MESIAS PALSU - Jose Luis De Jesús Miranda

Seorang pendeta dari gereja Growing In Grace di South Florida yang mengaku bahwa dirinya adalah mesias, diyakini memiliki pengikut sebanyak seratus ribu jiwa. Jose Luis De Jesús Miranda, 60, seorang bekas penjahat dan pecandu narkoba mengajarkan bahwa tidak ada lagi dosa, iblis telah dihancurkan dan neraka tidak berlaku lagi buat anak-anak Tuhan. “Kita tidak percaya akan dosa, iblis dan neraka,” ujarnya dalam sebuah wawancara dengan stasiun televisi CNN.

Kuasa Roh Kudus (Smith Wigglesworth)

Kuasa Roh Kudus di dalam seseorang dimaksudkan untuk menjadi kekuatan yang terus meningkat, suatu perluasan.

Allah tidak pernah mempunyai apapun yang bersifat berkurang-kurang, Dia selalu maju terus, dan saya akan maju terus. Apakah anda juga akan maju terus? Itu perlu saya katakan, untuk maju terus.

Jangan berhenti di dataran, ada hal-hal yang jauh lebih besar di puncak gunung daripada di dataran.

Yesus memberi perhatian khusus kepada Paulus (sebelum dia bertobat, dia suka memburu orang-orang Kristen dan membunuh mereka). Yesus tidak pernah dengan tergesa-gesa ‘membawa’ Paulus melalui usahaNya.

Beberapa orang berpikir bahwa segala sesuatu harus dilakukan dengan terburu-buru; tapi Allah tidak demikian. Allah mengambil banyak waktu dan Dia mempunyai cara yang luar biasa untuk mengembangkan segala sesuatu ketika Dia berjalan terus.

Tidak ada satu pun yang anda kerjakan akan gagal bila anda tidak melupakan apa yang Dia katakan dan bertindak menurutnya, anda sungguh tidak bisa melupakan apa yang ditaruh Roh Allah tepat di dalam hati anda sebagai tujuanNya untuk anda.

Seseorang yang dibaptis oleh Roh Kudus bukan lagi manusia alami; ia “didesak” oleh Roh Allah untuk diubah menjadi manusia yang lain, manusia baru.

Seseorang yang dipenuhi Roh Allah berhenti menjadi dirinya sendiri, dalam arti tertentu, ia beristirahat, ia “tiba” di mana Allah bekerja; ia tidak akan mempercayai hatinya sendiri, ia bersandar hanya pada kekuatan yang terkuat dari Yang Maha Tinggi.

Jika anda dibaptis oleh Roh Kudus, maka anda tidak mempunyai makanan rohani yang lain kecuali firman Allah; anda tidak mempunyai sumber-sumber selain sumber dari surga; anda telah ‘tertanam’ di dalam Kristus dan telah ‘dibangkitkan’ bersama Dia; bahasa anda adalah bahasa surgawi; Allah bertakhta di dalam seluruh hidup anda, dan anda melihat perkara-perkara yang dari ‘atas’, dan bukan yang dari ‘bawah’.

Orang yang dibaptis Roh Allah mempunyai misi dari Yesus, ia tahu panggilan dan rencana hidupnya. Allah berbicara kepadanya dengen begitu jelas dan nyata sehingga tidak mungkin ada kekeliruan tentangnya.

Orang Kristen harus memiliki pengurapan dari Roh Allah yang harus disadari setiap saat, entah bersama orang lain atau sendirian, bahwa ia bersama dengan Allah.

Ketika anda dipenuhi oleh Roh Kudus, maka anda sudah dipersiapkan untuk pelayanan yang lain dari Tuhan.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(September 1916) “…malam lalu ada seorang pengkhotbah di salah satu ruangan ini, ia berlutut, ia kaku seperti papan; anda perlu ketajaman untuk mengetahui apakah itu realitas; ia takut untuk berserah. Saya berkata,”Ayolah saudara, terimalah Roh Kudus.” Dia menjawab,”Saya tidak bisa.” – lalu saya berkata,”Anda tidak serius, tidak ada usaha dari anda, anda harus mulai bertindak. Terimalah Roh Kudus.” Kemudian, dengan pengetahuan bahwa ia benar-benar digugah, menurut perintah dari Allah saya menumpangkan tangan ke atasnya dan berkata,”Terimalah Roh Kudus,” dan Allah Roh Kudus menggoncangkannya dari atas sampai ke bawah, dari “dalam” keluar, dan betapa ia memperoleh baptisan yang luar biasa!

Ketika seorang “menghirup” masuk Roh Kudus,mereka menjadi begitu dipenuhi oleh kuasa Allah sehingga mereka tidak mempunyai kuasa atas diri mereka sendiri; mereka hanya “jatuh” ke dalam Allah, dan Allah menguasai segalanya – tangan dan kaki dan tubuh dan lidah demi kemuliaan Allah.

An Ordained Time

I never know what will happen next in my walk with God. It is certainly never boring and I have come to expect, the unexpected.

I was in a class the other day that helps find your purpose in life. I assist in teaching this class and love to be there to see the changes in women's lives. During class it was obvious that one women at a major headache. So, it was decided that after class, we were about to close, that we would lay hands on her and pray healing.

Myself and another leader prayed for her and watched God work. Her headache was relieved and she felt blessed. The young woman that was praying with me, asked me to pray over her mother that was in the class. Now, her mother is one that I felt I could read pretty well.

In the class I could see that she was over wrought and very stressed. That she could not find relief from the everyday stress that she herself had put on to herself and there, sitting in that stress was not finding God.

I told her what I saw and she began to cry. But, when I touched her to pray, she suddenly manifested an oppressing spirit. I was surprised. I did not see that one coming. Her face began to contort and her body to rock. She was moaning and crying. So, I began to pray against this thing of evil that was oppressing her.

She grabbed my knee and squeezed. Then she would slapped my knee, then squeeze again. It was quite painful, so I started relaxing my knee, so that my concentration was were it needed to be. I prayed for what seemed like a very long time.

She suddenly said, "I see light. A little bit of light". This gave me a handle on where we were. So, I prayed against darkness and prayed that the light of the Lord fall upon her.

She began to speak in tongues. Not sure if she ever had tongues before this. I have had people pray in what seems like tongues, but then recognized it to not be a tongue from God. So, I listened to her and realized that she was speaking a tongue from God.

She wailed. Then just as fast as this began, it stopped. She sat back and took a deep breath. "wow". "Where did that come from?, she asked.

I told her, that this was her ordained time from God, to be set free. No longer was she to be oppressed by evil. She is free.

You never know when God is going to put you to work. Just like we must always be ready for the fight in the heavenlies, we muse also be ready to be called by God to obedience. There I was minding my own business and suddenly God appears and the world changes.

Thank You God.

DOA untuk MENERIMA TUHAN YESUS KRISTUS

APAKAH ANDA BELUM TAHU ??? - 2 Hal yang membuat Kristen keluar dari Tutup Pendamaian

Apakah Anda belum tahu ??? Bahwa Allah tidak mencari alasan untuk menghukum kita, tetapi Dia mencari alasan untuk menyelamatkan kita.

Seruan dari hatiNya adalah “Aku ingin menyelamatkan kamu; Aku ingin kamu memperoleh hidup dengan berkelimpahan.”

Hanya 2 hal yang membuat Kristen keluar dari bawah Tutup Pendamaian (perlindungan Darah Yesus), yakni:

1. Memberontak / mendurhaka (menolak kesetiaan atau melawan wewenang dari atasan, yaitu Allah; memberontak terhadapNya berarti membelakangiNya dan apa yang ditawarkan kepada kita: kasihNya, perlindunganNya, berkatNya, dan janji-janjiNya)

2. Penyembahan Berhala (kasih sayang atau rasa hormat yang berlebihan kepada seseorang atau benda; kekaguman yang cenderung pada pemujaan; atau juga menaruh keinginan yang sangat kuat kepada hobi/kesenangan sendiri dan bukannya melakukan apa yang diinginkan Allah)

Bukanlah Allah yang menarik tutup pendamaian (perlindungan darah Yesus) itu dari kita, tetapi kita sendiri yang memilih keluar dari tutup pendamaian itu, sehingga Allah tidak lagi melihat lagi kebenaran AnakNya atas kita melainkan Allah melihat kebenaran manusia yang tidak sempurna, kesalahan dan dosa kita. Dan secepatnya kita keluar dari daerah perlindungan darah Yesus, otomatis kita pergi ke daerahnya iblis dimana terdapat hujan hukuman Allah.
