Domestic Abuse in Christian Marriages- Bug Out Plan

Spiritual Abuse Sanctuary

I’ve known a few women who’ve worn their abuse like a sort of perverse “badge of honor”, as if it proved them to be  more courageous and somehow spiritually “righteous” by staying in a horribly abusive marriage. This can be a weird sort of pride and spiritual masochism, and it’s not conducive to the wife’s own spiritual growth, or…that of her abuser, who may view his wife/ victims staying in the marriage as a sign she deserved the abuse. Only when the woman gathers the emotional and spiritual sensibility to remove herself, and get out, can she begin to heal and move forward in her own spiritual growth.  And now,  with his victim removed from the scene of the crime, only then is her abuser able to get the memo that he needs to start looking within himself, not her, as the source of his problems.

Women, you are not…

Truth of Scripture vs. Catholic Tradition and Idolatry

After nearly 2,000 yrs wouldn’t you think the Catholic Church would come clean, get it straight, (get honest before God and man), and admit their traditions and Mary worship are pure idolatry and cry out to God, the only Holy Father, for mercy, repenting of their many sins? Obviously, the Catholic Church has not repented. Pope Francis is in the news constantly continuing with the RCC’s false gospel and Marian worship, and dragging millions of Catholics with him into condemnation.

On the News that Matters Blog, ivarfjeld posted an article in 2011 on another Catholic Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a big time Catholic celebration honoring their false goddess,  during which Pope Benedict, who was the pope du jour of 2011, spoke more hypocricies concerning Mary, the mother of Jesus.  Do these so-called “infallible” pope’s make this stuff up as they go along? Do they really believe their own schtick, and expect their devoted followers to buy into it hook, line and sinker?

Pope Benedict said:

The ‘Immaculate One’ reflects with all of her person the light of the ‘sun,’ which is God.”

http://ivarfjeld.com/2011/12/14/pope-mary-reflect-the-sun-which-is-god/

How can any rational person miss the lie in that statement coming from a man, the Pope, the false “vicar of Christ” who leads millions?

Yet the Bible records differently. “While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, “Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed.” But He said, “On the contrary, blessed are those who hear the word of God and observe it.” Luke 11:27-28

Yes, on the contrary indeed! Who are we going to believe, the words of a pope and false prophet….or, the words of Jesus recorded in holy scripture. Jesus never gave inordinate honor to anyone, even to His own mother!

I especially liked the comments on Ivarfejeld’s article, one of which responded to a Catholic person’s argument very powerfully. It’s a post within a post! Hurray for him and all who contend for the Faith. Catholics may be offended, but I pray they will open their eyes and hearts to the Truth. It’s faith in the Truth which is in Jesus Christ alone, not illusions and traditions, which will determine our ultimate destiny.

“Dear England, do you think there is any love in catholic church at all? Let’s see your so-called catholic spiritual leader Pope Benedict is the former Hitler youth elected pope….

Ivar is right, the woman in revelation 19 is catholic church. The Great Whore.
“For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt the earth with her fornication…” ―Revelation 19:2
Mary (the mother of Jesus) is not the great whore; Catholicism’s Mother Mary (the Catholic religion) is the Great Whore!
“For true and righteous are his judgments: for he hath judged the great whore (Roman Catholicism), which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand.” ―Revelation 19:2)
“Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists (Popes and priests); whereby we know that it is the last time” ―1st John 2:18
“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet color (official Vatican colors), and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls (the Vatican is filthy rich), having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations (the Holocaust, inquisitions, etc.) and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY (very few people realize where the Catholic religion started), BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS (Many heathen religions have spawned out of Catholicism, such as Lutheranism) AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH” ―Revelation 17:4,5

Catholicism’s ill-gotten children profess to know Christ but do service to Satan by disregarding the commandments of God in order to keep the traditions of men which papists even themselves call “TRADITION.” Why she (the whore) is called a mystery? The antichrist spirit of ancient pagan Babylon, though seemingly long fallen, lives in the rites and blasphemies of the Roman Catholic religion. Now that ancient Babylonian false religion lives today within the Catholic religion, disguised by Christian names. What a Satanic scam! The queen of heaven is now… Mary! Mystery Babylon lives, undetected by doomed millions across the world. Mary is NOT our co-redeemer!
“The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the QUEEN OF HEAVEN…that they may provoke me to anger” ―Jeremiah 7:18
Notice the Halo around Mary (especially her head). The is an idolatrous practice of the Catholics which symbolizes deity (that she is equal with God). The Babylonians practiced the same idolatrous worship to the Queen of Heaven. Mary is NOT deity; she was a normal every-day woman. Yes friend, Satan is definitely working in the Vatican and in Catholic organizations all across the world. Though most Catholics will deny worshipping Mary, the evidence says something very different! They bow down and literally pray in the name of “Mother Mary” to a graven statue of Mary. This is sinful idolatry! They are lying through their teeth. God makes CLEAR in His Word that He will NOT share His glory with another (that includes Mary).
“I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” ―Isaiah 42:8

Hail Mary! Hail Satan!
How could anyone be so foolish to actually bow down in prayer to a statue of Mary, yet at the same time deny that they are worshipping her? Talk about crazy! God clearly command us in the second of the Ten Commandments NOT to make unto ourselves ANY graven images.
“Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:” ―Exodus 20:4
Do the Catholics need glasses? It says right there in black and white in Exodus 20:4 that we are NOT to make unto ourselves ANY likeness of anything that is in heaven!!! Mary is in heaven. We are NOT to make any likeness of her according to Exodus 20:4. So what do you call a statue of mother Mary? It surely is a likeness of her, a graven image! Here’s another shocker…
“Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them…” ―Exodus 20:5
Ok, so then why does every Catholic BOW DOWN before a statue of Mary in their worship places? I’ll tell you why… because they are practicing FALSE religion totally void of the truth of God. You can argue whether or not you are worshipping Mary as your bowing down to her; but one thing is for certain, God has commanded us in Exodus 20:5 NOT TO BOW DOWN to her. Even if your not worshipping Mary, you ARE SINNING if you bow down to her because the Bible strictly forbids it! As I write, millions of people all around the world are bowing down to Mary in violation of God’s Word. Yes, Satanism is in the Vatican!
“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” ―Mark 7:7
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” ―Mark 13:22

Roman Catholicism: The Cult of Mary

“Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men.” ―Mark 7:7
“For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.” ―Mark 13:22
Pope Benedict is the former Hitler youth elected pope.”

Pope praying to a statue of Mary with a crown on it’s head. I say “it” because it’s only a statue, a graven image.

 

Nicolaitan Pope Francis Shows his True Colors

Preface: In this video, in the pope’s own words, he said, “No one can have God as his father who does not have the Church, (meaning the Catholic church), as his mother.”

and…

“The Church gives us the faith, a Mother, a Mother who gives us an identity. Because, it is not possible to believe in Jesus outside the Church. And the Mother church that  gives us Jesus, is not only a seal; it is a belonging, ”

Readers, these statements are flat out lies and deceptions as any bible reading, bible believing Christian knows, and as the Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Apostles have warned us of repeatedly. If there is anything the Catholic church is the “mother of, it is the mother of the harlot, apostate, Nicolaitan error, the thing that Jesus said He hated in Rev. 2,

So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.” 15-16

Pope Francis’s performances and writings give a picture of a man that is two-faced. In this well documented video Richard Bennett investigates the real face behind the mask…

Thus, Cardinal Bergoglio, once elected, chose the name Pope Francis in honor of St Francis of Assisi. St Francis was known to be a softhearted lover of nature. Accordingly, Pope Francis cleverly implied that he would be similarly unassuming, kind, and harmless. On the other hand, from his first speech and his subsequent presentations, he has shown himself as a totalitarian dictator. Thus, as the media and many ecumenical Evangelicals fawn over Pope Francis, it is necessary to biblically analyze his speeches and performances. The mind-boggling conclusions are documented in our video. We request that you forward its URL to your family and friends.

My Testimony of Deliverance & Healing From Depression

imagesCADP4AFR

Many are struggling with depression so terrible it has taken over their lives and stolen their joy, and even their desire to go on living. When depression is so deep that it seems living is a burden to one’s self and one’s loved ones, there seems to be no answer, or hope. But this is all upside down to what the Word of God says.Contrary to what has been taught in the churches that healing has been done away with after the Apostles, this is a lie!

Jesus doesn’t change, the scriptures do not change; Jesus is the same yesterday,today and forever.He said heaven and earth will pass away, but my word will never pass away. Matthew 24:35

I was in that dark, black hole of deepest depression for 7 long nightmarish years, complete with panic attacks so bad, I wanted to kill myself.

I was an atheist, I had NO believe in God, but still I was afraid of dying because something in me was still unsure of what was on the other side.  My life had become a living hell, and there seemed to be no way out except to destroy myself. But still….I was terrified of dying as well. Little did I know at the time I was being tormented by demonic spirits in my sick body and diseased mind. That’s a hard thing to admit but it was true. Christians and unbelievers alike nowadays tend to discount the activity of demons in people’s minds and the way they work and affect people. They shouldn’t. This is what Satan wants…..to remain undercover, so his demons can continue to work destruction in the lives of people; just like the Lord Jesus Christ said, “Satan comes to kill, steal…..and destroy”.  This is what was happening to me, I was being literally destroyed by Satan, but I had no idea at the time what was behind my mental agony.  What a sad, pathetic person I had become. But as opposed to Satan, the Lord Jesus Christ had other plans for me.

Late one night, I’d been lying on my sofa, planing how I might kill myself, I remember getting up to drag myself to bed as I usually did, dreading even that, and as I walked toward my bedroom, in my despair, I said, “Oh dear God, Jesus help me”, not even thinking about the fact that I didn’t believe in God or Jesus! Six short but meaningful words that were going to soon change my life forever.

Anyway, I went on to bed, and slept.

The next morning when I got up, all of a sudden, instead of dragging myself out of bed, dreading the day ahead as I usually did, I felt this incredible joy, and euphoric vitality, and energy bubbling up from inside myself.

Something I had never before in my life felt. To say the least, I was astonished! And overjoyed beyond belief.

I had thought as many of you, that my life had been irreparably ruined and that I’d never be the same again……..but I had just had my depression and panic attacks completely removed, and my entire being was full of happiness, joy and laughter. My thoughts of suicide were gone. My mental pain was gone, I was healed!

How could this be?

As I said, I’d been an atheist, but I’m not stupid or crazy. I realized I’d just had a miracle; there was no other possible way this could have happened.  Putting 2 and 2 together, trying to understand what had happened, I figured first of all, that it had to have been supernatural, because I’d been on antidepressants, and Valium, and had seen counselors, therapists, shrinks and doctors for 7 yrs, and none of it helped!

I knew without a doubt what happened could only have been supernatural, it had to come from a God, and if it came from God to heal me, it must have been because whoever, or whatever he was, he loved me.

The problem was, I didn’t know who this mysterious God was, and I didn’t remember saying, “Oh dear God, Jesus help me” til 8 months later. Since that day of my miraculous and astonishing healing,  I had set out on a quest, a  journey seeking to find out who this wonderful God was, went down several blind alleys; New Age, Buddhism, and got no where. In fact, I was loosing all the original joy that I’d had when I was first healed and delivered. I knew something was wrong but in my spiritual confusion I didn’t know what it was. Satan was still trying to lead me astray into false religions by this point. Finally a Christian lady came into my life, and began praying for me. I didn’t know it at the time, but the Father was drawing me, just as Lord Jesus said, ……. and not only that, but had been for the past 7 years, even through those black years of despair and depression! Amazing grace!

“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.” John 6:44

One thing led to another and my heart became more tender, until the day God came into my heart like a love bomb and I had that “born again” experience which has changed my life forever. The next miracle; I received the gift of the Baptism of the Holy Spirit! So, here was this former atheist who still didn’t know who God was, being led by the Spirit of God to drive to a Christian book store, not even knowing why………. and buying bible’s she had previously called, “fairy tales”, and then going home and literally reading and reading. It all came clear at that point just who God was….it had been God the Father, and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ all along. New Age was a lie. Buddhism was a deception and a lie. And certainly…atheism was the biggest lie of all! JESUS CHRIST IS LORD, and He is SAVIOR.

If this all sounds pretty weird…I suppose you’d be right. But those who think erroneously that God has to operate the way they or the “church” thinks He should….they are badly mistaken. He can do what He wants, when He wants and in just the right way according to His will and purpose.

Are you sick, depressed, brokenhearted, feeling hopeless or in need of physical healing? Do you feel there is something missing from your life, but can’t seem to identify what it is? Ask God to help you and reveal his love for you. Pick up a regular modern English bible and read the gospel of John.

Many will try to tell you this is not true, but I haven’t taken the time to bare my soul and lie to you. It is real, and you can be healed, maybe not in the same way I was, but healed is healed.

Jesus said, “Come to me, all of you who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest for your souls”. This may include healing and deliverance as well as allowing Jesus to be your burden bearer and comforter.

Many years have passed since then, and I have had lots of struggles and trials, but I’ve had Jesus, the anointed one’s help to overcome them every step of the way.

He is our healer. Isa 53;4 “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”

This is a part of what Jesus accomplished for us through his suffering.

What can prevent our appropriating this healing that Jesus already paid for with his blood? Unbelief on our part….
Read on…Jesus could do no mighty works because of THEIR UNBELIEF! And so it is today!
http://www.biblegateway.com/keyword/?search=Unbelief&version=KJV&searchtype=all

There is a cure for unbelief…FAITH. For the bible says without faith it is impossible to please God.To doubt is to be double minded.Double minded people will receive nothing from God…Why? because it amounts to doubt, and unbelief.So, you see, it all goes back to faith.
So, how do you build your faith? By studying the bible daily…the daily manna, the bread of life. And by praying in the spirit. These are the things which done consistently will help build faith for healing or any other need.But in this post, we are mainly considering the need for healing and deliverance and the LORD’S ability and desire to heal his people.
Please take time to do a search on all bible passages relating to healing; there are many.

It is God’s will to heal and set us free from doubt and the bondage of unbelief. There are very few things that will hinder God from performing his will in healing, except…
unconfessed sin, or unforgiveness toward others, worry, doubt, and unbelief. Take care of these issues in your life if you have them, and trust God to perform his word.

As for me; what caused me to become an athiest in the first place? In a word…the apostate, false church. You see, I had grown up having a simple belief in the Lord Jesus. My parents weren’t church goers but my mom had been raised in a Christian family and her father, my grandfather had been a Nazarene preacher.  My mom did instill a belief about Jesus in me. As a teen and later, a young woman, I began going to church faithfully, but the problem was, nothing was happening in my life to spiritually sustain me. The church went through their programs, but they didn’t believe in the Holy Spirit Baptism or spiritual gifts. Nor did they teach us to pray and read the word. We were just expected to show up every Wednesday and Sunday.

I was going through a serious trial at the time, and had no spiritual help whatsoever. Then one day, I was standing in the sanctuary at church, listening to these two women talking about the churches next Bingo Game. I distinctly remember thinking to myself, “There is nothing to this”….and I walked out, never to return.

After that, I backslid bigtime, and for many years became a very lost soul. My mind became darkened by sin, and I completely forgot about God to the extent I no longer believed in God or Jesus. I had been blinded by the god of this world, Satan. I hadn’t realized until many years later that the Lord had been indeed trying to reach me, even in that false church setting, simply because I had been seeking Him.

The problem came because I was seeking Him through the church and equating “church” with Jesus, and that’s not the way to find Him. He is the Way, not the Church. The Church can’t save you, only Jesus can. The best church can do is point the way….but when they don’t point the way by teaching the word and teaching you to pray, the end result is confusion, deception, doubt and unbelief. And you know…Satan feeds on that.

That said, I urge any of you seeking the Truth about the Lord God, to keep seeking HIM…… period. In His Word and in prayer. You can be sure if you do that, He will show up in a marvelous way. Perhaps not like He did with me, but He will.

God bless you in Jesus Holy, Mighty Name

Spiritually Abused in Church? What is Your Story?

Spiritual Abuse Sanctuary

Many people wouldn’t be reading here if they hadn’t been abused in some fashion.  Those who’ve never been abused, or abusers themselves- wouldn’t know what it felt like, unless they, at some point, felt the sting of it themselves.

It’s my personal belief that all abuse hurts a person spiritually. It’s not likely there will be physical abuse in a church setting, but there, abuse will occur at the very heart of our soul, sometimes driving us into self-condemnation, guilt over false accusations, shaking our spiritual beliefs, and foundation of our faith to the very core.

Our reaction to this may come first as shock, followed by anger and indignation. And soon after, if we are lucky enough to remove ourselves from the abusive situation, we may lapse into a feeling of rejection as we become isolated from former brethren.

My own personal journey through the pain of spiritual abuse…

‘Pope’ Claims Mary Was Conceived ‘Without Original Sin’

This is what the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church teach about Mary, the mother of Jesus according to their traditions. But is it true according to God’s Word, the bible? No. So, let’s compare. First, what the Pope is saying below, followed by what the scriptures reveal:

“ROME – In one of the feasts and celebrations marked on the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar leading up to Christmas, Catholics around the world observed the Feast of Immaculate Conception on Monday, a day in which those who follow the religion commemorate their belief that Mary was born without sin.

The pontiff known as Pope Francis led Catholics in the annual observance of the holiday, delivering an Angelus address in St. Peter’s Square.

Oh Mary, our mother, today the people of God in celebration venerates you, the immaculate, preserved from the contagion of sin from the beginning,” he prayed. “Accept the gift I offer on behalf of the church in Rome and throughout the whole world.”

“In this time that leads us to the feast of the birth of Jesus, teach us to go against the tide,” Francis continued. “The power of God’s love, which has preserved you from original sin, freed all of humanity through your intercession from every spiritual and material slavery and made the designs of God’s salvation victorious within hearts and events.”

According to the National Catholic Register, he also declared to the crowds gathered that in Mary “there was no room for sin,” because “God had chosen her to be the mother of Jesus,” which resulted in her being preserved from “original sin.”

The pontiff later venerated the Statue of the Immaculate Conception in Rome’s Piazza di Spagna and invited others to join him. The statue was created in 1857 as a mark of the Roman Catholic belief that Mary was conceived without sin.

“I ask you to spiritually unite yourselves to me in this pilgrimage, which expresses filial devotion to our heavenly mother,” he said.

I fervently pray that both Catholics as well as evangelical non-Catholics will read the following article, which is well researched according to the actual scriptures of the Bible, the Word of God. The traditions of the Catholic church cannot possible supersede or claim superior authority above and beyond what scripture teaches regarding the very origins of the Christian faith.

Proof that Mary was a sinner, needed a saviour, had more than five
children, and is not mediatrix or co-redeemer with Jesus Christ.

The Black Madonna and her son in Angola bewitched the Pope

It’s dangerous and foolhardy to “believe whatever you want to believe…or something that someone spoon feeds you”. Who is it that doesn’t understand that Mary, the mother of Jesus was a Jewess, as well as a woman in need of a Savior?

Banjara Origin News

The Catholic Church claims gospel writer Luke painted her. She is venerated in Poland, in Haiti and within Voodoo. The late Pope bowed down to her son in Angola.

The late Pope bowed down to a Black copy of “Jesus” in Angola in 1992. Soon after, his life was only sickness and sufferings.

One of the readers of this blog, challenged me to write an article about the witches in the service of the Pope.

Rather: This relationship in the occult realm is the opposite. The Pontiffs are in the service of the witches.

In Poland she is named “Our Lady of Czestochowa”.

The Roman Catholic Church says the original image was discovered by some monks in the city of Nazareth, and first brought to Constantinople. The myth is that the gospel writer Luke painted her.

Here is a video-link to the official Catholic version of history:
