BBC Admits Anti-Christian, Anti-American Bias

"The BBC treated America with scorn and derision and gave it 'no moral weight.'"
Simon Walters/TN (Oct 23rd, 2006)
For years, despite adamant denials, the BBC has been accused of having a "left-leaning" bias, particularly discriminating against Christians.
Now, the Daily Mail reports that "a leaked account of an 'impartiality summit' called by BBC chairman Michael Grade, is certain to lead to a new row about the BBC and its reporting on key issues, especially concerning Muslims and the war on terror." (Photo: Broadcaster Sue Lawley led the discussion.)
It reveals, says reporter Simon Walters, that executives would let the Bible be thrown into a dustbin on a TV comedy show, but not the Koran, and that they would broadcast an interview with Osama Bin Laden if given the opportunity.
According to the report, "at the secret meeting in London last month... BBC executives admitted the corporation is dominated by homosexuals and people from ethnic minorities, deliberately promotes multiculturalism, is anti-American, anti-countryside and more sensitive to the feelings of Muslims than Christians."
Washington correspondent Justin Webb is quoted as saying the BBC treated America with scorn and derision, and gave it 'no moral weight.' While former BBC business editor Jeff Randall is said to have noted that the BBC was full of intellectuals who "would rather steal from a poor box than stand to attention during God Save The King."

DEBKAfile reports: Hizballah reconstitutes its pre-war fortified lines and missile positions opposite Israel – plus the latest Iranian surveillance systems

Upon taking over the IDF's northern command from the Lebanon war commander, Monday, Oct. 23, the incoming OC Maj-Gen. Gad Eisenkott said tersely: We are keeping close watch on Hizballah's rearmament. The refurbished fortifications, according to DEBKAfile's military sources, are under cover. Because Hizballah is not yet ready to openly challenge UNIFIL, their lookout points together with fresh supplies of rockets, ammo and electronic spying gear are hidden in village houses facing Israel.

The UN peacekeeping and Lebanese army presence has not stopped Hizballah from systematically retaking and re-manning its old tunnel and fortified bunker locations in South Lebanon. They are designated "nature preserves" by the IDF. Nor, say our military sources, did they prevent Syria over last weekend smuggling across a first consignment of medium-range Fajr-3 (45km range) and Fajr-5 (up to 100 km range) rockets – the ones Hizballah used in the Lebanon War to blast in-depth Israeli targets: Haifa, Tiberias, Afula and the Hadera-Caesaria district.

IDF intelligence estimates the consignment was small, designed to test Israeli military and UN responses. It was accompanied by a vigorous campaign launched by Hizballah's friends in Beirut against Israel's surveillance over-flights, thanks to which the consignment was discovered. These airborne cameras have also picked up quantities of rockets and launchers of all types including the Iranian Zelzal waiting on the Syrian side of the border to be smuggled across to Hizballah.

DEBKAfile has obtained a list of the S. Lebanese villages playing host to re-armed Hizballah positions along the Israeli border:

Kfar Kila, opposite the northernmost Israeli town of Metullah; Adissa and Markaba opposite Ramim, Hola and Mais al Jabel opposite the Israel's northern highway, Itron opposite Kibbutz Malkia, Maruan a Ras opposite Yiron, and Raimish and Ait al-Shaab opposite the Western Galilee highway.

Israeli Leaders' Hollow Rhetoric - DEBKAfile Special Commentary

Israeli prime minister Ehud Olmert informed the nation Sunday night: "Our soldiers will be trained to stand up to the threats confronting us, principally from Iran, and we have already started work." Already, he said. So what have "we" been doing till now? Handing the Gaza Strip to the Iranian-armed Hamas?

He was addressing a group of his Kadima party followers.

The new star poised to expand the government coalition this week, Israeli Beitenu's Avigdor Lieberman, added his two bits: "I'm joining he government," he said "to save Israel from the Iranian nuclear (threat)."

This assertion was clearly aimed at backing up Olmert's declaration in Moscow that Iran must be given cause for fear. Both statements went down in the country with a hefty pinch of salt, especially when the PM went on to assert, still less convincingly, that time would show "the IDF's achievements in the Lebanon War to have been real and important."

Olmert and his pep talk are in good company. President George W. Bush, echoed by British premier Tony Blair, speaks of America's many achievements in the Iraq War while admitting that changes may be necessary in tactics.

Unlike Olmert, however, neither takes his public for fools. They admit mistakes were made in Iraq which need to be corrected.

To confirm this impression, State Department official Alberto Fernandez was allowed to confess to al Jazeera TV Saturday, Oct. 21, that the world was witnessing failure in Iraq. "That's not the failure of the United States alone, but it is a disaster for the region," he said, adding: "I think there is great room for strong criticism because without doubt, there was arrogance and stupidity by the US in Iraq."

This statement did not come out of the blue. It showed that the Bush administration was fully aware of its errors and the broad criticism it was drawing – a vital first step towards admitting that the Iraq plan demanded rethinking.

In contrast, Olmert continues to keep up the hollow pretense that the decision to go to war against Hizballah unprepared and the decisions he took while it was going on were the product of profound political and military wisdom. His feeble attempts to gloss over Israel's very real loss of strategic credibility in the region, while using both hands to hold his government together, are exceedingly harmful. Iran, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas, convinced that Israel is daydreaming if not half-asleep, are encouraged to march on to a fresh war as long as the Israeli leaders who got their sums so badly wrong in Lebanon remain firmly in place.

Therefore, shoring up the incumbent government for the long haul – led by the very prime minister, foreign and defense ministers and chief of staff who mismanaged the Lebanon war - could provide Ehud Olmert with stable rule, but also spell calamity for Israel. Lieberman and his big talk will be proven immaterial when the Iranian rockets, launched from Lebanon as recently as July and August, start flying again – this time from the Gaza Strip and the West Bank as well; next the heavy missiles from Tehran and Damascus.

After 10 Qassam missiles were fired into Israel in 48 hours, Israeli troops were hunting the Palestinian launchers and their crews in northern Gaza Monday when confronted with a large group of gunmen. Both parties opened fire. Nine armed Palestinians were killed and 20 injured. Shinbari was a senior commander of the Popular Resistance Committees, which is active in the missile offensive and was Hamas' partner in kidnapping Gideon Shalit in June. Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of a massacre on the first day of Eid el Fitr. Another three Palestinian gunmen were killed in a clash with Israel soldiers operating against smuggling tunnels on the Philadelphi strip in S. Gaza.

Stream of weapons to Hamas spurs Israeli plans for Gaza - WORLD TRIBUNE.COM

TEL AVIV — Israel's military has been developing plans for a major offensive in the Gaza Strip.

"The current situation is extremely dangerous with Hamas ordering advanced systems that were used by Hizbullah in the war," a military source said. "We're not stopping the smuggling of these systems from Egypt."

Officials said Hamas has received advanced Russian-origin anti-tank, anti-aircraft missiles and explosives over the last few weeks. They said Hamas plans to use the Iranian-supplied weapons to develop an army similar to that of Hizbullah in Lebanon.

Over the last day, at least five Kassam missiles were fired into Israel, Middle East Newsline reported.

The advanced explosives were said to have been placed into Kassam-class, short-range missiles fired into Israel from the northern Gaza Strip. Officials said these explosives increased the power of the Kassam's warhead in nearly daily strikes on such Israeli cities as Ashkelon and Sderot.

The General Staff has renewed plans for a permanent presence in the southern Gaza Strip in an effort to halt arms smuggling to the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority. Military sources said the options included the capture of the Egypt-Gaza border and the neighboring town of Rafah, said to contain up to 100 weapons tunnels that reach the neighboring Sinai Peninsula.

Over the weekend, about 1,000 Israeli soldiers were sent to capture the 14-kilometer Egypt-Gaza border. In September 2005, Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip.

Officials said Egypt has failed to reduce arms smuggling from the Sinai Peninsula to the Gaza Strip. They said the recent Egyptian announcements of weapons seizures were meant to respond to Israeli and U.S. concerns over the lack of border security.

"The situation in Gaza is worsening and requires extremely precise and decisive reaction from Israel," Israeli Tourism Minister Yitzhak Herzog said.

On Sunday, the Cabinet discussed Israeli military options for the Gaza Strip. A special session on the issue was expected on Oct. 25.

"The objective would be to prevent Hamas from replicating what happened with Hizbullah in Lebanon," former Southern Command chief Maj. Gen. Yom-Tov Samia said. "This would have to take place in the coming days or weeks."

[On Monday, Israeli military units battled Palestinian insurgents in the northern Gaza Strip. Palestinian sources said at least seven Palestinians were killed.]

Officials said Prime Minister Ehud Olmert has not decided on a long-term military operation in the Gaza Strip. They said Olmert, under U.S. urging, has ruled out a significant Israeli military presence in the strip.

"Action must be taken without hesitation," Trade Minister Eli Yishai said. "Any hesitation is dangerous and we must act immediately. When we left the Philadelphi corridor [Egypt-Gaza border], I said that abandoning it is a doorway to hell. We might have to find a way to take over the Philadelphi route."

"Gaza is a problem," Pensioner Affairs Minister Rafi Eitan said. "I think we must seize the Philadelphi route. Other than that, I think we should treat the Gaza Strip on a case-by-case basis and not take over the Gaza Strip again. We should seek for the Egyptians to cooperate with us on both sides of the border. If this does not happen, we should think twice whether to stay or not in the Philadelphi route."

Olmert: IDF preparing for Iranian threat - www.ynetnews.com

After sending firm messages to Iran following Moscow visit, on Sunday prime minister tells Kadima activists IDF troops already training to face new threats

Prime Minster Ehud Olmert spoke with a group of 100 Kadima activists at his home in Jerusalem on Sunday and referred to the readiness of the Israel Defense Forces in light of the new dangers faced by Israel, saying that the troops will be trained to face any such threat.

"Our soldiers will be trained to deal with any of the dangers Israel is facing, including the Iranian threat, and we have already begun the work," he said.

Olmert also referred to the achievements which were obtained as a result of the war and said that it will be apparent to all that the accomplishments that the IDF gained are real and important. He also referred to the probe into the war and said that "there will leave no stone unturned, and no warehouse unchecked."

During the past week Olmert expressed his opinion several times regarding the Iranian threat. During his visit to Moscow last week, Olmert told Russian President Vladimir Putin that Israel will not accept a nuclear Iran.

"I made it clear to President Putin that the Iranian issue is at the head of Israel's concern. We don't have the privilege of allowing a situation that gives a country like Iran unconventional abilities," Olmert said. "For us, when a leader of another country says he wants to destroy us, it does not sound like a haphazard statement. This is an issue we must be prepared for and prevent in any way possible."

'Government will live long'

During the flight back from Russia, Olmert said that "I did not threaten Iran, but the clock is ticking. What we did not want to say a year ago, we can say today. Eight months ago we couldn't speak about sanctions, but today they are happening.

"I am the first Prime Minister who says to Iran it should be afraid . It is inconceivable that Iran could not know what it is up against. Otherwise how would it agree on a compromise?" Olmert said.

During the meeting Olmert also spoke about Israel's economic situation and said that for the first time in Israel's history, Israel's balance of payments is positive, and the some of all exports is greater than the sum of all imports.

"Foreign investments in the Israeli market are in the billions and the situation is only getting better," he told the Kadima activists.

At the end of the meeting, Olmert promised that his government will "live long, give the relevant response to the problems of the State of Israel and will know how to deal with the challenges that lie ahead."

Syria paying Golan Heights public officials - By Aaron Klein - WorldNetDaily.com

Warnings Assad may stage provocation to take strategic territory

TEL AVIV – Syrian President Bashar Assad, who recently began directing his citizens to move to the Golan Heights, now is paying scores of Golan residents official state salaries, WND has learned.

Israeli officials interpret Assad's latest moves as attempting to underscore Syria's "ownership" of the Heights and pressure the Jewish state into giving up the strategic territory. The officials said there are some indications Assad may stage a provocation aimed at restarting negotiations with Israel over relinquishing the Heights.

The Golan Heights is mountainous territory captured by the Jewish state after Syria used the terrain to attack Israel in 1967 and again in 1973. The Heights looks down on major Israeli and Syrian population centers. It borders Israel, Syria and Lebanon and is claimed by Damascus.

Military officials say returning the Golan Heights to Syria would grant Damascus the ability to mount an effective ground invasion of the Jewish state.

WND first reported last month Assad issued a decree urging his citizens to move to the Golan Heights, claiming the International Committee of the Red Cross would help flood the terroritory with Syrians.

Assad's decree urged Syrian officials, humanitarian workers, public service providers and their families to move to the Golan with the help of the Red Cross, which has authority to operate in the area purportedly to facilitate civilian crossings into and out of Syria in humanitarian cases. Assad's signed statement said Syrians who wish to move to the Golan will be granted approval by "all the relevant authorities."

The decree affirmed the "right of the Syrian people's resistance" aimed at ensuring the return of the Golan Heights.

Israel officially annexed the Golan in 1981 and controls the territory. It must approve all cases of Syrian residents moving to the Golan. Israel is unlikely to allow any new Syrian residents into the territory.

"[Assad's] decree is seen more as rhetoric aimed at generating Syrian national feelings toward the Golan and strengthening Syrian ties to the area," said an official in Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office.

Israeli officials said the Jewish state has information Assad earlier this month started paying some Golan Heights public workers official state salaries. Currently, most Golan public workers, including teachers and local officers, draw salaries from Israel, although a few public officials have been collecting salaries from Syria since the 1970s.

According to the Israeli officials, Assad is now paying Golan teachers and has drawn plans to incorporate other Golan workers into the Syrian budget.

The Heights has a population of about 35,000 – approximately 18,000 Jewish residents and 17,000 Arabs, mostly Druze. The Arab residents retain their Syrian citizenship, but under Israeli law they can also sue for Israeli citizenship.

Israeli warning: Syria preparing for war

Assad's latest move of paying Golan residents follows a series of statements in which he warned his army is preparing for possible confrontations with Israel. It also follows reports of indications Syria is forming its own Hezbollah-like guerrilla organizations to fight Israel in hopes of "liberating" the Golan.

"We must remain ready at all times. We have begun preparations within the framework of our options," Assad told the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Anba. He said Israel could attack Syria "at any moment" and that Israeli leaders have abandoned the peace process and are seeking a war.

Since the war in Lebanon ended in August, Assad has given a series of interviews in which he warned of possible confrontations with Israel. He has stated several times he views Hezbollah's "victory" over Israel as proof military tactics bring results.

In an August address, Assad said members of Hezbollah used their "will, determination and faith" to counter Israeli arms, enabling the Lebanese militia to defeat Israel.

"We tell them (Israelis) that after tasting humiliation in the latest battles, your weapons are not going to protect you – not your planes, or missiles or even your nuclear bombs. ... The future generations in the Arab world will find a way to defeat Israel," Assad said.

The Israeli Defense Forces released information last week Assad has fortified positions along his country's border with Israel and is indeed preparing for a possible conflict.

"Assad is preparing his army for a confrontation with Israel," Yossi Beyditz, head of research for the IDF's intelligence branch told the Israeli cabinet this morning.

"Assad has not returned the army to its pre-Lebanon war positions," Beyditz said.

Bayditz said the estimate so far is that Syria it not preparing to attack but to defend itself against a possible Israeli offensive, which Assad believes is imminent.

"These are artillery cannons, missiles and rockets positioned in forward positions. He is preparing for a defensive and not offensive response. He estimates that Israel would want to attack him," Bayditz said.

He said Assad supports terrorism and the path of violence:

"Assad continues to support Hamas, Islamic Jihad and Hezbollah. We have unequivocal proof on his direct involvement in smuggling weapons to Lebanon. In the past there was no proof," he said.

"Bashar Assad continues his wave of equivocal messages," the officer said. "Once he speaks about sticking with a peace strategy and simultaneously speaks of a confrontation and about us as not ready for a political process, and he, in fact, means both options: a political arrangement according to Assad's known conditions but prepares that army for a confrontation with Israel."

Israel on alert for Syrian attack

Israeli officials here claim the IDF alert level in the Golan Heights has not been raised in response to Assad's statements and to the new Israeli intelligence estimates.

"We have not made any significant changes in the Golan in recent weeks," said an IDF spokeswoman.

But military officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, told WND earlier this month the IDF has fortified its positions in the Golan, including increasing security at checkpoints and the stationing of larger troop numbers at key areas throughout the territory.

Also, the officials said, the IDF has reinforced security fences on the Israeli side of the border.

The IDF has not moved in additional heavy weaponry, tanks or troop divisions for fear of startling Syria, the officials said.

"We are taking Assad's threats very seriously and are cautiously increasing our level of alertness for a possible provocation by Syria," a military official said.

The official said Israel placed troops in the Golan on heightened alert during the 34-day war against Hezbollah in Lebanon that began July 12, but the alert level was raised in recent weeks following militant statements by Assad and Israeli intelligence warnings of indications Syria may be bracing for a conflict.

Jewish residents in the Golan told WND the heightened IDF status was plainly visible. They noted larger troop numbers and improvements made to border installations.

'Damascus prepping public for war'

Security officials here told WND there have been indications the past few weeks Syria is seeking to launch a provocation. Besides Assad's statements, the officials say state-run Syrian media have been broadcasting regular warlike messages unseen since the 1973 Yom Kippur War, in which Syria and Egypt launched invasions from the Golan and the Sinai desert.

"The tone [in Syria] is one of preparing the public for a war," said a senior security official.

He said any Syrian provocation likely would be coordinated with Iran. Tehran and Damascus, which both support Hezbollah and have signed several military pacts.

Reuven Erlich, a Syria expert and director of the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center at Israel's Center for Special Studies, told WND Assad's threats "are to be taken seriously."

"Assad's support for terrorism, for the insurgency in Iraq, for Hezbollah and his alliance with Iran are all indication of the direction in which Syria is headed. Assad needs to demonstrate he is willing to sue for peace, but everything seems to indicate the opposite. Especially following the war in Lebanon," Erlich said.

Syria to form own Hezbollah?

In July, WND first reported Syria is forming its own Hezbollah-like guerrilla organization to attack Israeli positions in the Golan Heights, according to a senior Baath party official.

The Baath official told WND Syria learned from Hezbollah's military campaign against Israel that "fighting" is more effective than peace negotiations with regard to gaining territory.

Hezbollah claims its goal is to liberate the Shebaa Farms, a small, 12-square-mile bloc situated between Syria, Lebanon and Israel. The cease-fire resolution accepted by Israel to end its military campaign in Lebanon calls for negotiations leading to Israel's relinquishing of the Shebaa Farms.

The official told WND Syria's new Front for the Liberation of the Golan Heights was formed in June and that the group consists of Syrian volunteers, many from the Syrian border with Turkey and from Palestinian refugee camps near Damascus. He said Syria held registration for volunteers to join the Front in June.

One week after the WND article detailing the claimed group was published, state-run Al-Alam Iranian television featured an interview with a man who identified himself as the leader of the new Front for the Liberation of the Golan.

The man, whose features were blocked out, said his new group consists of "hundreds" of fighters who are training for guerrilla-like raids against Israeli positions in and near the Golan. He claimed the Front has opened several training camps inside Syria.

Last month, Amos Yadlin, head of the IDF's intelligence branch, told the Knesset Syria is in the early stages of forming a Hezbollah-like group.

Ahmadinejad: Iran's Nuke Capability Up - www.breitbart.com

Iran's nuclear capability has increased tenfold despite Western pressure to roll back its atomic program, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said Monday.

He did not elaborate, and the remarks appeared aimed primarily at rallying public support as the U.N. Security Council prepares to consider a draft resolution imposing limited sanctions on Iran because of its refusal to halt its uranium enrichment.

"The enemies, resorting to propaganda, want to block us from achieving (nuclear technology)," Ahmadinejad told a crowd on the southern outskirts of Tehran. "But they should know that today, the capability of our nation has multiplied tenfold over the same period last year."

Ahmadinejad boasted that "the power of our enemies is less than one- tenth of their power in last year."

Enriching uranium is a key step to producing fuel either for a nuclear reactor or for a warhead.

Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. The United States and some other countries have accused the Iranians of secretly seeking to build a bomb.

In the speech, Ahmadinejad repeated that Iran was ready to negotiate with the West about its nuclear ambitions. But the West has insisted that Tehran first suspend enrichment.

The Iranians disregarded an Aug. 31 deadline imposed by the Security Council to stop enrichment. They also turned down a package of incentives offered by the United States and its partners on condition that Iran ceases enrichment.

Western diplomats say they expect to circulate a draft resolution at the United Nations in the coming days that would impose limited sanctions. It remains unclear whether Russia and China _ both veto- wielding permanent council members _ would go along with punitive measures.

In Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Monday he was hopeful that talks with the Iranians would resume and that there was a "real chance" for a negotiated settlement without sanctions.

However, the EU external relations commissioner, Benita Ferrero- Waldner, said Tehran had not responded positively to the incentives package and that the Security Council may need to explore "another alternative."

Microchips becoming the latest medical accessory - www.kvbc-com

It's a technology that's already being used on millions of pets in America. Now, microchips are being implanted in human beings as well and this week in Las Vegas, the procedure is being performed on dozens of people attending a medical convention.

The implants are inserted into the arm. The tiny computer chips can help doctors get important medical information. The chips are incredibly small and are implanted just under the skin.

The chips that are used in dogs and cats contain information that can identify the animal if it gets lost. In the case of humans, the chips provide a link to a computer database that gives doctors instant access to a patient's complete medical history.

All this week at the Las Vegas Convention Center, health care professionals are having the chips surgically implanted.

Not everyone is ready to have a micro chip in their body, and the people who run the company called Verichip understand that some people are afraid that the technology could be used to track their behavior, or turn them into some sort of futuristic computer controlled being.

"That's complete Sci-Fi," said Marc Poulshock, Verichip. "There's no GPS on it at all."

Only one doctor in the Las Vegas area is actively performing the implants, and he says there are many reasons why he believe's the device can help save a patient's life.

"If they've been in a car accident, or if the person has allergies, the chip will lead you to that data," said Dr. Darin Brimhall.

The procedure leaves a small, temporary scar, and after that, the chip is so small, it virtually disappears into the body. The current cost for patents to have the chip implanted runs between $200 and $300.

One idea for the chips is to implant them in U.S. Military personnel so that soldiers injured in the field can be quickly and accurately identified.

According to the makers of the chip, ten hospitals and emergency rooms in Las Vegas have agreed to begin using the devices that scan for the implants.

Isaiah 17 Countdown - Jack Kelley - www.gracethrufaith.com


Nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom (Matt. 24:7)

"But you, O Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, you descendants of Abraham my friend, I took you from the ends of the earth, from its farthest corners I called you. I said, 'You are my servant'; I have chosen you and have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. (Isaiah 41:8-10)

Here are a few developments I've selected from various news and intelligence sources to show how much worse conditions in the Middle East have gotten since Israel's war with Lebanon two months ago.

France and Italy have agreed to sell Lebanon their jointly developed Aster 15 anti-aircraft missile system to prevent Israeli unmanned surveillance aircraft from spying on military activities in Lebanon. (The UN has promised not to shoot down Israeli surveillance aircraft. But the French, who lead the UN forces, have threatened just the opposite.)

Russian intelligence personnel, protected by Russian infantry, have all but taken over the southern Lebanese town of Sidon near Israel's Northern border. The intelligence they gather will be shared with Syria and Iran. Sidon was at the northern extreme of the land given to the Tribe of Asher, and was yielded to the Phonecians in violation of God's commandment. (Leviticus 25:23) Sidon's destruction in promised in Ezekiel 28:20-26.

Russia is also constructing deepwater ports in Tartus and Latakia on Syria's coast to serve a major Russian Naval presence in the Mediterranean. The plan is to potentially relocate portions of Russia's Black Sea and North Sea fleets to the Middle East.

Syria and Iran have restored all of Hezbollah's pre-war offensive capabilities, and with the permission of the Lebanese Army and UN peacekeepers Hezbollah has regained control of its pre-war strongholds along Israel's northern border as well.

By now it should be clear to everyone that the UN ceasefire has become a cruel joke. The parties involved (except for Israel) aren't just ignoring it, they actually seem to be trying to discover how blatant a violation is required to arouse the world's criticism. So far no one has said a word, and that includes Israel. It's a repeat of the Gaza withdrawal on a grander scale.

Syria is working with Hezbollah to topple the government of Lebanon in favor of one more friendly toward them, perhaps led by Hezbollah. Syria has also maintained combat ready forces along its border with Lebanon and is openly discussing the merits of a pre-emptive attack on Israel.

Iran has begun to upgrade the 7500 man Hamas militia into a Hezbollah like attack force with $90 million worth of training and weaponry. Since the beginning of 2006, Hamas has smuggled over 20 tons of air and surface missiles, ordinance, and weaponry into Gaza through 15 recently discovered tunnels built since Egypt took control of the Southern border. Much of this armament has come from Iran. Syrian instructors arrived in Gaza for the first time last week to begin the training. The Iranian/Syrian goal is to have trained attack forces ready and waiting on both the northern and southern borders with Israel.

Prelude to Ezekiel 38?

It appears that a coalition based on mutual interest has been formed between Iran, Russia, and Syria. They intend to exploit the weaknesses discovered in Israel's war with Lebanon by preparing a pre-emptive attack designed to prevent Israel from destroying Iran's Russian built nuclear capability should the need arise.

In the UN, an agreement has been reached that will exempt Russia's reactor building program in any sanctions against Iran. This was done to get Russia's cooperation. Apparently Russia's 10 reactor deal with Iran will proceed unhampered.

From Moscow this week, Israeli PM Olmert warned again that, "We don't have the privilege to allow a situation in which Iran has the capability for unconventional weapons." (In reply Iranian Pres. Ahmadinejad declared, "There is no reason for Israel, the greatest insult to human dignity, to exist. It will soon disappear.")

Despite these words of warning, experts say that Israel is so preoccupied with assessing the blame for its failure to neutralize Hezbollah that it's paying scant attention to gearing up for the next attack.

Meanwhile 3 US Navy Carrier Strike Groups have arrived for exercises off Iran's Persian Gulf Coast. The Iranian government believes their real purpose is to help Israel mount an attack against Iran. Ahmadinejad claims that Allah has told him that Iran will be successful in any military confrontation with Israel and the US.

What Are You Trying To Say?

It doesn't take an inspired prophet of God to tell that things don't look good for Israel right now. In fact, aside from the times they've been in the middle of an all out war, I can't recall a worse time. Events seem to be gathering the type of momentum that leads to taking on a life on their own. Like an atomic explosion that achieves critical mass and becomes unstoppable, they could soon spiral out of control.

This time around it seems like Syria is getting set to assume the lead role on the battlefield with Iran calling the plays but remaining in the background. Remember, the idea is to prevent Israel from attacking Iran. If Iran took the lead it would defeat the purpose of the strategy.

Syria is a far different foe than Hezbollah, with 220,000 soldiers, 3,500 battle tanks, 600 combat aircraft and thousands of short and intermediate range missiles. 150-200 of these missiles are believed to have chemical or biological warheads. Israel's discovery that Syria was getting ready to launch of one of these CBW's would likely trigger a pre-emptive strike of the kind mentioned in Isaiah 17. Israel would not only have to prevent Syria's actions but also demonstrate the consequences to any other country thinking of doing so. With such a build up of hostile intent all around, Israel has been deprived of any "measured response" option and will have to employ overwhelming force to any threat.

In August, Israel was criticized for making a disproportionate response to Hezbollah's cross border provocations. I wonder what the world will say when Damascus disappears under a mushroom shaped cloud.

"All who rage against you will surely be ashamed and disgraced; those who oppose you will be as nothing and perish. Though you search for your enemies, you will not find them. Those who wage war against you will be as nothing at all. For I am the LORD, your God, who takes hold of your right hand and says to you, "Do not fear; I will help you. Do not be afraid, O worm Jacob, O little Israel, for I myself will help you," declares the LORD, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 41:11-14) You can almost hear the Footsteps of the Messiah. 10-21-06

What is Christian leadership?

What is Christian leadership? What should a Christian leader be
like? There is Noah with his perseverance. Or Abraham with his great
faith. We could look to Joseph's unmatched integrity or to Daniel, a
man of lofty moral character. Queen Esther showed tremendous courage
in a hostile environment while the humble maidservant Ruth is a
portrait of quiet dignity and inner strength. And no study in
biblical leadership could ignore King David—a man whose passion for
God is unparalleled in the pages of Old Testament writings. Moving
into the New Testament, we have Mary, the mother of Jesus, who is a
model of unequaled virtue. Too, there is Peter with his extra
helpings of devotion and enthusiasm. And then we have the Apostle
Paul, a man who considered suffering for the sake of the Gospel a
reason for great personal joy.

But there is no finer example for Christian leadership than our Lord
Jesus Christ. Of Himself, He declared, "I am the good shepherd. The
good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. But he who is a hireling
and not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf
coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep
and scatters them. The hireling flees because he is a hireling and
does not care about the sheep. I am the good shepherd; and I know My
sheep, and am known by My own (John 10: 11-14 NKJV)." It is within
these few verses that we discover the reason Jesus, above all others,
is worthy to be called Lord.

When Jesus referred to us as "sheep," I do not believe He was
speaking in affectionate terms. In truth, sheep rank among the
dumbest animals in creation. A stray lamb, still within earshot of
the herd, becomes disoriented, confused, frightened, and incapable of
finding it's way back to the flock. Unable to ward off hungry
predators, the stray is, perhaps, the most helpless of all creatures.
As I said, sheep are not very bright animals. Entire herds of sheep
are commonly known to have drowned during times of flash flooding
even though they could have simply moved to the safety of higher
ground. Like it or not, when Jesus called us His sheep, He was saying
we are short on brains but long on vulnerability.

And yet the Good Shepherd loves us! He loves us even though we are
not particularly lovable. He loves us in spite of ourselves. And how
is His love measured? The Good Shepherd gave His life for His sheep.
Some leaders offer mere words of encouragement to their followers.
Other leaders might even give of their personal wealth, but Jesus,
the Head of the Church, gave every drop of His blood on that Roman
cross for He knew there was no other way of saving His people. This
is amazing love, and yet this Jesus was no ordinary martyr, for three
days after His crucifixion, He walked away from the tomb! He walked
away from the tomb and He lives today making intercession for His
saints!

As if this were not enough, Jesus again proved His perfect love by
sending the Holy Spirit to indwell within all believers. He did this
because He could not bear to leave us as orphans after His departure
from earth. In life, He loved us. In death, He loved us. In Heaven,
He loves us.

Jesus is the essence of Christian leadership. The unfathomable love
we receive is pure, undefiled, and is, quite frankly, wholly
unmerited. But this love is not mere sloppy sentiment—His perfect
love sustains us in this present age and throughout the endless ages
to come! I do not wish to appear irreverent, but love alone is not
enough. My grandma loved me, but her love could not save me from my
sinful nature. On the other hand, the perfect love of Jesus has the
power to redeem us, body, soul, and spirit, from the ravages of sin
and death!

During His earthly ministry, Jesus headed a ragtag band of fisherman
in a dusty corner of ancient Palestine, but Jesus is coming again,
and when He returns, He shall establish His rule from Jerusalem as
earth's undisputed King! King Jesus will right all the wrongs while
restoring this reeling planet that presently groans under the heavy
weight of sin. And no power will oppose Him. No power will hinder His
righteous reign. He will be the perfect King! He will be the King of
Kings!

How is Jesus the perfect example of Christian leadership? Scripture
reveals that He is the ideal balance of sacrificial love and
unbridled strength. Yes, He loves us beyond all human understanding,
but this love extends beyond the boundaries of mere sentimentality—
His love has the life-giving power that transforms us from helpless,
dirty-faced beggars into sons and daughters! The son of a King is a
prince. The daughter of a King is a princess. This Jesus wants to
lift us out of the depths of degradation—and He can do so, too, for
He is mighty to save!

If God has called you into a position of Christian leadership, then
He fully expects you to pattern your leadership in the manner of His
Holy Son. You are to love those in your charge and you are to lead
them in all truth and righteousness. When ravenous wolves surround
the flock, you are to defend them, if necessary, even to the point of
death. To be less is to be a hireling. AMEN

Charismatic False Teachings

Charismatic False Teachings
Nothing had done more damage to the people involved in Pentecostal
and Charismatic churches than false teachings related to activities
of the Holy Ghost. The Bible-believing Pentecostals cling clearly to
the Word of God and the sovereign work of the Holy Ghost in each
manifestation of the Spirit. Let's deal with five particular aspects
and try to show the difference between the Biblical foundation and
the Charismatic deception. These five subjects are listed below:

- Fortune Telling Called "Personal Prophesying"

- The Prayer Language Deception

- Paranormal Praying: Casting Spells Misinterpreted As Praying

- Charismatic Worship

- The Charismatic Spirit

Fortune Telling Called "Personal Prophesying"

There is no such thing as private prophecy. The charismatic world
has promoted a false idea of private prophesying for at least two
decades that has now become a nightmare in many churches. Men like
Pat Robertson and Paul Couch, have amassed a fortune and changed the
face of the church with this spirit of fortune-telling. Probably the
greatest force to thrust their television networks into the
limelight has been this false hold on others with personal fortune-
telling, while calling it the gift of prophesy or word of knowledge.
It is as false as Lucifer himself and has no value but to deceive.

The believer is guided in his godly walk by the Holy Scripture and
the personal indwelling of the Holy Ghost, not by private
prophecies. What a Pandora's box it is with ten thousand expressions
of different ideas private prophecies create. Men and women by the
thousands are chasing rainbows because some flaky person uttered
words over them in some ecstatic fashion. I have known a few of
these confused souls. I specially remember one such person who was a
minister. His whole life was controlled by what someone supposedly
prophesied. His ministry was a disaster.

The Bible Is Plain

"We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well
that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place,
until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing
this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private
interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of
man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost." (2 Peter 1:19-21).

Apostle Peter had enjoyed the glory of the transfiguration and spoke
of the witness the Father had given of His Son Jesus. Yet, Peter
said, "We have a more sure word of prophecy," and clearly identified
that word as the Bible. Then, he adds fire to the dependable truth
of Scripture by stating, "that no prophecy of the Scripture is of
private interpretation. " In other words prophecy is a gift in the
church and for the church and must not be used to control, direct,
or manipulate people's private lives. The individual is to receive
the Word of God and apply it to themselves. Another person is never
to try to take authority over someone else's life.

Usually, those "private utterances" serve to create a false level of
knowledge on the part of the speaker. It is like the person doing
the fortune telling has some kind of inside knowledge or a special
link to God. There are a multitude of those individuals that go from
weary soul to weary soul uttering their babble. Do not give these
misguided people the privilege of using your ears.

Worse, of course, is the soul that listens to this kind of thinking
and allows the direction of their life to be affected. Every
individual that is "born again" has the person of the Holy Spirit
within them and He is present to give direction and inspiration. The
Holy Ghost takes the Word of God and gives application and guidance.
To even consider the babble of a seer as guidance for the believer's
walk is courting disaster.

These "fortune tellers" usually offer nothing but good words of
assurance, favor, and blessings. Every Christian has all of God's
promises of such blessings, but to give an over emphasis on them
creates a false sense of well-being. The Word of God is correction,
instruction, and often rebuke. Only the honest believer can properly
apply the truth day by day to their life. Ecstatic utterances have
an emotional hold over people that is paranormal.

God Has No Grandchildren

Remember, your Heavenly Father is a personal God who cares for all
of His children equally. He knows your name and keeps a record of
the very hairs on your head. To even consider that you need a seer
or guru to make your decisions or utter ecstatic words at every
crossroad is to bring yourself under bondage, not give you the
Biblical liberty of truth. People who live by this kind of hope are
weary souls always looking for a "word". I've had people say to
me, "Do you have a word for me?" My answer is, "Yes, the Word of
God. Read your Bible and meditate on the Scriptures and you will
have a Word from God." Remember, when you close your Bible, you shut
God's mouth; but when you open it you open His mouth.

The Gifts Are Given To The Church

The gifts of the Holy Ghost are given to the church and function to
give inspiration and power to the "Word of God." The Holy Ghost
never operates outside of Scripture. "And take the helmet of
salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God."
(Ephesians 6:17). He has no other sword and to dare suggest these
ecstatic utterances as His voice is to stumble blindly. The gifts
are given to operate for the corporate body and never for private
control over individuals. Yes, they may operate when as few as two
or three gather together, but never to give private direction apart
from plain Bible truths. The gifts of the Holy Ghost will enlighten
truth, magnify Jesus Christ, and provide supernatural wisdom to the
body of the church. Personal application of those truths will always
be an individual's responsibility.

The Lord invites you to "Come now, and let us reason together . . ."
(Isaiah 1:18a). Do not be a couch potato in the church, but know the
will of God for yourself.

The True Gift Of Discernment Or Word Of Knowledge

Do not confuse the false "fortune telling" that I am exposing with
the true gift of "discernment" or even the "word of knowledge". In a
spirit-filled church body, a godly pastor or godly leader in the
church may often know the needs of their struggling members as soon
as the struggle develops. We are indeed to bear one another's
burdens.... Our love for each other will cause us to feel the burden
and to know the care of one another. Incredible ministry of the Holy
Ghost will occur. While there needs to be a senior pastor, there are
often undershepherds among the laity that share the load of the
pastor and do so without ever being independent of Him. In such an
environment the gifts of the Holy Ghost will be manifested. They
will be totally subjective to the Word of God and never invade
private responsibility for each member to find and do the will of
God. The gifts of the Holy Ghost and the body of Christ are
inseparable. What a safe haven for the Lord's disciples and children!

The Prayer Language Deception

One of the key deceptive teachings that was at the foundation of the
Charismatic Wave is what they call their "prayer language." As most
false doctrines are, there is a genuine Biblical truth
about "praying in the Spirit" that has been evident all the back to
Apostle Paul's teaching used to justify these false ideas. Apostle
Paul, in his letter to the Corinthian saints said, "For if I pray in
an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is
unfruitful. What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will
pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I
will sing with the understanding also." (1 Corinthians 14:14-15).

Jude also spoke of this truth when he said, "But, "But ye, beloved,
building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy
Ghost." (Jude 1:20). We also need to look at what Apostle Paul said
to the church at Rome. This is incredible language that shows the
beautiful potential of the Spirit-led and anointed prayer in the
Holy Ghost-filled believer. His words were, "Likewise the Spirit
also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray
for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us
with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the
hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh
intercession for the saints according to the will of God." (Romans
8:26-27).

There is a true reality of "praying in the Holy Ghost" that the
church should and must understand. The difference between the Bible
truth and the Charismatic deception is very easily understood. In
the Bible message the Holy Ghost is Sovereign and He gives the
utterances to the spirit-filled believer. They cannot and will not
pray in the Holy Ghost at their own will or choice. In the
Charismatic deception the Sovereignty of the Spirit is bypassed and
the whole idea become nothing but human or soulical babble. To even
imagine the very person and powers of the Holy Ghost being subject
to a person claiming to pray in the Spirit when they please is
totally false.

Every work or ministry of the Holy Spirit must be His Sovereign
manifestation. The Bible was given as "Holy men of God spake (wrote)
as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." (II Peter 1:21). "And when
the day of Pentecost was fully come . . . suddenly there came a
sound from . . . and there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as
of fire . . . And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and
began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them
utterance." (Acts 2:1-4).

Each detail of this inaugurating event was clearly a Sovereign move
of God by His Holy Spirit. The men and women were yielded vessels
and He manifests Himself in them as they made themselves totally
available for God's glory.

All the spiritual gifts of the Holy Ghost are always His gifts. They
are gifts of the Holy Ghost, not gifts of the saints. He possesses
the totality of these spiritual gifts as the word "spiritual" would
certainly require. We are natural creatures until His anointing
rests upon us for His manifestation. Our spirituality is the
outworking of His spiritual gifts and He acts sovereignly each and
every time there is a manifestation of any and all of His gifts.
Speaking in other tongues is certainly no exception.

When you hear people using what they call their "prayer language,"
it is empty and powerless. It is nothing but babble and does nothing
but religious harm to the speaker and the hearers. A religious
experience void of truth creates a religious spirit in everyone
connected to that person or the church or place where it occurs. The
deeper an individual goes into this kind of mystical manifestation,
the more they become bound to all kinds of strange manifestations.
Having watched the Charismatics slide from their early days to the
present has been a picture of growing deception. One of the few
early strange ideas was this simple fact of the unbiblical "prayer
language." Now, the end results is spirits of serpents, insane
drunkedness, apostate doctrines, and a movement driven by the wild
world of devils.

Let's look at what Apostle Paul stated in Romans. "Likewise the
Spirit . . . maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot
be uttered . . . He maketh intercession for the . . . " (Romans 8:26-
27). This sovereign work of the Holy Ghost is indeed His action,
using our spirit and lips to utter His words to the Heavenly Father.
To suggest this can be manipulated by flesh is totally contrary to
His supernatural power.

This is either a work of the Holy Ghost or it is a sheer soulical
and fleshly jargon akin to the babble of a possessed witchdoctor. We
must reject any religious mysticism and cling only to clean Biblical
truth.

Paranormal Praying: Casting Spells Misinterpreted As Praying

The new approach to prayer in our modern churches is little more
than casting spells and using voodoo tricks. Paranormal powers are
available to any soul that will sell out to the deception that works
in the adamic nature. We are spiritual creatures and there are
powers in each of us that can be used for evil or surrendered to God
depending on our heart. Demon spirits are going throughout the earth
seeking whom they may devour. "Be sober, be vigilant; because your
adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom
he may devour." (I Peter 5:8). While our Father manifests Himself in
our human spirit, Satan and demons manifest themselves in our soul.

Satan loves to use soulical praying to hinder the true church of
Jesus Christ. The majority of believers have no understanding of
this form of Satan's attack and, consequently, have very little
defense. The modern Charismatic prayer style being manifest at
Toronto, Pensacola, and most Charismatic type churches is nothing
but paranormal deception. Are there powers involved? Absolutely! Do
they get results? Absolutely! But, what kind of results? They get
paranormal results that cannot convert to Jesus Christ or the true
born again experience. The results are the same as the powers being
used and promoted. It is paranormal conversion to a false Jesus that
masquerades as the Lord Jesus Christ.

These groups using paranormal powers of prayer are extremely
militant and approach anyone that disagrees with them in a sharp
judgment of condemnation. This is the first sign that their approach
to prayer is totally false. Biblical prayer is first and foremost a
total surrender to God and His perfect will in any matter named in
our prayer life. When we surrender to God in prayer, we have no need
to force our way in anything. We do not need to try to answer our
own prayers because we trust a Sovereign God.

The god of paranormal praying is not a Sovereign God, but gods that
operate by the whim of the petitioners. These soulical forces use
paranormal powers to create their own answers. They do get results
but, as in all areas of the paranormal world, their answers are
fleeting and turn easily on the persons themselves. Jude described
these powers in his little book of exceptional truths. "Woe unto
them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after
the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of
Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast
with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without
water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without
fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea,
foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved
the blackness of darkness for ever." (Jude 11-13).

Paranormal Prayers Used To Punish The Resisters

The Toronto, Pensacola, and copycat churches are punishing their
resistance by paranormal prayer powers. Some people are actually
being forced to join the deception by these strange forces of the
soul and often demons. Many have called me by phone to share the
strange, depressing powers they have encountered when they resisted
their church's descent into this spiritual nightmare. Apostle Paul
was acquainted with these powers in his day and addressed them
directly. He wrote to the Ephesians, "Put on the whole armour of
God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness
of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."
(Ephesians 6:11-12).

Note that he called these powers "spiritual wickedness in high
places." Study these two words, "spiritual wickedness". "Spiritual"
as used here is different from a positive spiritual idea and is
rather a man ruled by his sinful nature, but in a spiritual form.
The word "wickedness" here is a malicious person using malicious
power to affect others. We have a clear picture of paranormal
spiritual powers used to punish or affect other persons against
their own will. This is an exact copy of casting spells and using
voodoo tricks.

Resist Such Powers By Total Trust In The Blood

Satan cannot cross the blood line of Jesus Christ. He can cast darts
that come in the form of fear, doubt, or depression. Resist these
powers by casting yourself at the complete mercy and grace of Jesus
Christ. Do not answer or fight back, but go on singing in the joy of
the Lord and wait on Him. Remember the rod of Moses was quick to
consume the rod of the magicians of Egypt. It has not changed. God
is still the same faithful Father that watches over you all day and
all night.

Charismatic Worship

"Filled with the Holy Ghost" is a familiar term in the New
Testament, especially in the Book of Acts. On the Day of Pentecost
they were "filled with the Holy Ghost." Peter said later that
day, " . . . and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For
the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are
afar off . . ." (Acts 2:38-39). The devil has imitated this
wonderful experience and some have rejected it, but every great
revival has experienced a sovereign work of the Holy Ghost.

The current Charismatic revival makes much of being filled with the
Holy Ghost. The experience they claim is promoted more like a
drunken stupor than a baptism of the person called the Holy Spirit.
Many solid churches in the past are moving into this insane claim of
possession and impartation. How can people quickly discern the
difference between a wonderful and sovereign work of God and this
deception that is spreading like wildfire? I believe the Holy Spirit
has given this unworthy servant a simple Biblical picture of the
basic difference.

Possession Versus Lordship

Satan wants to possess his subjects and use them at his will. The
Holy Ghost comes to manifest the Lordship of Jesus Christ over our
lives. Satan will control your emotions and titillate your flesh
with wild and uncontrolled excitement. The Holy Ghost is a guest at
your house and will inspire you to worship and praise your Heavenly
Father with sincere obedience. Let me explain as simply as possible
the difference: Satan is a possessor, while our Father will inspire
and anoint us.

Satan Is A Possessor

Anytime a person becomes possessed and falls under a control beyond
their own power, something is wrong. Satan offers his counterfeit
spirits to keep people from the real and sovereign work of God. Any
spirit that makes you act outside of Biblical conduct is to be
rejected. There is absolutely no record of people acting like drunks
in the New Testament church. The critics suggested that in the Book
of Acts, but these men acted more intelligent when they were
baptized in the Holy Ghost, not less intelligent. Remember that the
Jews were overwhelmed because these "Spirit-filled" Galileans were
speaking, "the wonderful works of God" in languages they had never
learned.

The Holy Ghost Wants Lordship For Jesus Christ

"The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet." (I
Corinthians 14:32). On the Day of Pentecost the 120 disciples "began
to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave them the utterance."
He is a guest at our house and we yield to all His activities
everytime He touches us. We are forbidden to act uncontrolled and
out of order. He commands the church, "Let all things be done
decently and in order." (I Corinthians 14:40). The order He commands
is perfectly described in I Corinthians, chapters 12 and 14.
Biblical Pentecost will make a church powerful, orderly, anointed,
and soul winning. Charismatic nonsense will make a church giddy,
wild, and worldly. Paw Creek is a Classical Pentecostal church and
we soundly reject the devil's substitute.

The Charismatic Spirit - "Soulical Worship verses Spiritual Worship"

A totally new style or method of worship has invaded the church
world. Its appearance may be similar and the people involved are
certainly sincere, but something profound is missing. Mankind is a
trinity of creative beauty, consisting of body, soul, and spirit.
The spirit within this triangle is the very life of God and is the
only avenue by which we can worship and praise the Lord. In an
unsaved person (someone that has not been born again) this life from
God is dead and must be revived by the power of God's Spirit, this
occurs when we are born again.

The soul of each of us is also capable of a form of worship, but it
is the false form and arises from our fallen nature, called the
adamic nature. This realm of our life is the area where the occult
can find _expression and is very active in a witch, wizard, or any
individual that gets involved in familiar spirits. False religions
all operate by influence within the soul and the result is soulical
activity. The worship of this participant is unacceptable to God and
is rejected exactly as Cain's worship was rejected. "And Abel, he
also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof.
And the LORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto
Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very
wroth, and his countenance fell." (Genesis 4:4-5).

The most apparent form of this false worship has flooded today's
Charismatic churches. It has also become acceptable in mainline
churches and is usually labeled as "contemporary worship." Often
these churches will have two services, one contemporary, and one
traditional. Usually all standards of dress, platform demeanor,
music styles, etc. has been made totally free. Everything is come as
you are and do as you please. It's the natural man set free to
approach God/god in a clearly soulical atmosphere. Once a church
goes this route, theology becomes a problem and the basic theme
becomes, "God is doing a new thing." In some churches that want to
maintain theology, they will justify the approach "as the end
justifies the means." "We are finally getting the X generation back
in church" would be a familiar response.

This form of worship is going to vary from tradition to tradition.
The Charismatics are mainly the ones I have had to deal with, so let
me explain their style. First, let me describe the real Pentecostal
worship. Speaking in tongues in a classical Pentecostal church is a
very beautiful reality. No person can just speak words in the
Spirit, but must walk humbly and holy before God to be a Spirit-
filled believer. These Spirit-filled believers cannot just speak in
the Spirit, but only speak when the Holy Ghost Himself gives the
utterance. (Acts 2:1-4). Just chattering in some incoherent jargon
is absolutely not acceptable.

Messages may be given by the Spirit, but must be interpreted and the
order of this is clearly defined by Apostle Paul (I Corinthians 14).
When our people worship with hands raised or dance in the aisles, it
is Spirit-inspired, beautiful, and orderly. The worship in a
classical Pentecostal church is beautiful, Christ- honoring, and an
inspiration to everyone in the house. You will never think we act
like pagans and mindless guru worshippers. God never bypasses our
mind, our honorable demeanor, or our orderly respect for the sacred.

Charismatics are usually extremely different. The worshippers often
appear to be in an altered state (trance), with eyes rolled back,
giddy, and even silly. There will likely be a consistent muttering
of incoherent babble. The facial expressions are sugar sweet, but
lacking in purity and Godly simplicity. The flippant way these
worshippers dance about and flip around has the appearance of being
cheap and prissy. Many of these individuals will go into a jerking
or twisting state that lasts for hours and, sometimes, days. One big
characteristic is falling out and becoming so heavy that one cannot
get up and, sometimes, two or more adults cannot lift the person.
Sometimes these worshippers will go into a fetal or birthing
position and act like they are birthing someone, who they label
as "lost souls". These descriptions are certainly incomplete because
the actions in these churches can be bizarre beyond words.

It is possible for a genuine believer to be deceived for a period
and fall into this soulical realm. Evangelicals vary in their
contemporary worship, from the description above to much more
traditional kinds of behavior. The spirit is nevertheless one of
Eastern mysticism, rather than a genuine minister of the Holy Ghost.
When the true ministry of the Holy Ghost is manifest, it will
absolutely be according to the Book of Acts, the ministry of Jesus
Christ in the Gospels, and the twelfth and fourteenth chapters of I
Corinthians. God never departs from His Word and He never acts out
of character with His nature. God's people that genuinely love the
Lord may misdiscern, but they will soon see the truth and go back to
the Book. Jesus said plainly that we must worship Him, "in Spirit
and in truth." "The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou
art a prophet. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say,
that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. Jesus
saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall
neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation
is of the Jews. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true
worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the
Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that
worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." (John 4:19-24).

These two elements are absolute when we come before the God of
Heaven. Soulical worship by unredeemed men will be rejected today
exactly as in the past. Worldly and unclean lives cannot be brought
before God as an acceptable sacrifice. Worship that has rejected the
infallible Bible and all its truth cannot appear before His Holy of
Holies, which is made possible by His Son's Blood. Entertainers
cannot lead you into the realm of Holy Ghost manifested praise and
worship. God has already rejected the majority of today's soulical
religions. He is still receiving, and blessing the humble soul that
has been redeemed and renewed in Spirit. "The Spirit itself beareth
witness with our Spirit" (Romans 8:16) and by His Spirit and His
inspiration in our Spirit we can approach God. "Let us therefore
come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and
find grace to help in time of need." (Hebrews 4:16)

You Can Be Free! You Can Be Free!

Any person caught up in these false doctrines needs deliverance. The
first thing to do is to cease every _expression of these ideas.
Second, claim the Blood of Jesus to free you of any bondage that
relates to this activity. Then, stay out of Charismatic New Wave
churches, where these activities are constantly promoted

Be not ashamed of Me

Subject: be not ashamed of Me
BE NOT ASHAMED OF ME
Those that stand for My Name and defend My Honor, not seeking it unto
themselves, show themselves to be My First Fruits representatives, and walking in true
communion with Me this day. It isn’t knowledge of the letter of the scriptures that tells a
minister of righteousness, but the fact that he or she mirrors Me unto others, seeking no
glory for or unto themselves; neither speaking their own words, but what they hear their
Heavenly Father speak. Have ye not heard quite enough “methods”? Would ye not rather
come unto He who is Altogether Life and Truth and just commune with Him?
Behold, ye First Fruits, it begins to be time to stand up for Mine Honor before all
your “good Christian” friends, knowing there will be persecution, yet for the sake of
Mine Honor, and My saving and delivering Truth, stand up and show yourselves Mine;
for the hour is at hand, and some are cowering and afraid yet needing an example of your
boldness in order that they too might come wholly unto Me alone.
If ye, My First Fruits, are cowering also out of your fear of persecution for My
sake, who will rescue those who cannot see, but by your bold witness? Will you also
deny Me before men by your silence, ye who know the Truth, yet fear to openly proclaim
it? If ye so fear to proclaim Me and My Truth openly to others out of fear of rejection
then I must deny thee before My Father in Heaven. Selah.
Hence I put you into situations where there are ears that would hear among those
that will not, hoping ye shall not fail to give wise counsel when approached, that My
Truth may impact the hearts of all unto either acceptance or rejection. For this is My
separating time of the wheat and the tares. And while ye’d rather keep what you know at
home, and walk as though unseen, yet why puttest thou thy light (My Light of Truth in
thee) under a basket, that it be hid from them who have lost their way and do exceedingly
stumble through the mists of darkness? Would you compromise My Truth to save your
reputation? To save flesh and “friends”? Do ye talk out of both sides of your mouth;
spiritually to those who you know are spiritual, and carnally to those who are carnal?
Behold, I never varied from My speaking of spiritual things but spoke Truth to all. This
you love and embrace about Me who am your Pattern and Example. Be ye also likewise
perfect, even as your Father in Heaven is perfect.
Forget your reputations and speak the Truth to every man. Do not forsake Me to
compromise My Truth unto worldly Christians, honoring the Beast within them in order
not to rile him up. No, I stand always as a bright Testimony against him, and a swift
witness against his sorceries. Be thou also likewise. For as I said, behold, it is time for
My First Fruits to stand up for what they believe in and to speak the Truth, and no longer
deny Me and My Truth in fear of raising the hackles of those who honor the Beast and
worship his image. Selah. Shall ye one day make war with him, or shall ye pat him on the
head in all them that he has deceived and lives large in?
Deny Me not, Sons and Daughters; nor My Truth. For by so doing, ye deny My
Light unto those who walk in darkness, and My Bread to them who are hungry seekers of
it. And though they have battalions of stiff and hard-hearted, unyielding, religious ones
around them, My Truth shall reach them and penetrate; and ye must not love your own
self, even unto death for My sake but must speak Truth, whatever it may cost you. For
My need is at this time dire to reach some that you know, and yet are afraid to reach
because of the battalions set around them, ready to persecute you. Behold, who shall be
willing to go in among the wolves to rescue the tiny sheep, and take it out of their
mouths? I AM. But I must needs use you who are not ashamed of Me, nor of My
Testimony of Truth, but are willing to die for it if necessary.
First Fruits, examine your hearts carefully in light of these words and see where
ye stand, for it is a true and telling measure of how much ye yet live to and for flesh.
Sons, Daughters, how will you stand up as My Representatives if you are ashamed of Me
and My Testimony now, lest it should rob you of cozy friendships? You must forsake
ALL, both family and friend’s opinions, and follow thou Me to the letting fall away all
that doesn’t adhere to My Light and Truth. And whatsoever won’t adhere, yet hangs on
still, or that ye hang onto still, shall be tried in My Intense Fire to see of what sort it is.
Thus expect this in your continuing friendships, and be not surprised if they fall away to
ashes. Let’s just hope your commitment to Me is strong enough that you have some gold,
some silver from Me which remains of you.
Behold, the hour of tribulation cometh upon all the world, when they shall be
grabbing for all they can because of the losses they sustain. Who is ready to stand, having
nothing but Me to stand on? Are ye indeed prepared for this level of trial? For when there
are no outward signs of anything stable shall ye be founded upon Me, the Rock of Ages?
I hear many Christians saying, “Yes!” Yet are ye yet a member of Christendom? And
being raised in her “holy houses”? If so ye are not, nor have ye been grounded in or upon
Me, but thy founding is sandy and thy house, of the untempered mortar and mud. Behold,
the storms coming will thoroughly beat your house to pieces and ye will be left with
nothing. So say I, the Lord of Hosts. Solid founding is found only in them who come to
ME personally and intimately, seeking to be taught by Me AT MY FEET, forsaking all
other teachers to be DIVINELY TAUGHT. Behold, upon ME, the Divine Rock of Ages,
do they become founded, and My Truth and Light are established in them. And they go
with Me everywhere, instant in season and out of season to speak My words without
being clogged up in that inner well by clogs of doubt and/or self.
Behold, who will take up My Trumpets to blow them to sound My Alarm to the
nations of professed Christianity? Who are not ashamed of Me and of My Truth, and
unafraid of the persecution it will bring upon them? Only them who won’t deny Me will
be sent as Sons and Daughters into My Army. So know that I try you, and set before you
both the soft-hearted and the hard-hearted, that you may proclaim My Light of Truth and
your love for it unto your own circle of influence; that Mine own in the midst might hear
My Spirit call and be drawn out of the mouths of wolves unto Me; yea, unto safety.
If a friend or family member were in a burning house and were unable to know it,
would ye not rush past or through those flames to bring them out? Behold, Christendom
is a burning house. Consider it well. Selah.
