MENTORING LETTER 41

A VIEW FROM INSIDE OUT

Growing up as a child in Harlem, the Lord protected me from the black church and from religion. Now that I have entered into deliverance counseling with tormented Christian clients, I understand why. Religiosity and the present day church has become seized demonic territory.

WORSHIPPING THE FAKE JESUS:

The Organized Church

I did not enter the religious system called church until I was already 2 years saved and 35 years old. It was a strange, uncomfortable world for me where I had to learn to "swim with the sharks." I studied the songs, the mannerisms, all of the accoutrements of "churchyism." Yet, I never really belonged because I had no church history to stand on among people who could claim several generations of a relationship with Her.. So even though I entered ministry in 1981, I remained a root in dry ground for the next 25 years, an unwanted stepchild. When the Lord called me out in Sept. 2003, He didn't tell me EVERYTHING. He simply warned, "Pam, you are a candle,hidden under a bed in this place. If you stay here, I cant use you. But don't leave on your own. Let them PUT you out!" I had no idea what He was talking about as I had been a preacher in good standing for 24 years then and all was at peace. However, it didn't take long. An unexpected enemy surface whom the Lord used to cause the leadership to remove my name from their rolls. The day before, I saw in a dream that like John the Baptist, I was being spiritually beheaded. The deed was done on June 25th, 2004 and I was pushed outside of the camp, waiting for the Lord to send me to another church within another denomination or sect. I waited for two years and on the third year, the Lord spoke. I was setting up a road trip to several churches to train their leaders on deliverance when I was asked a question. "Pam, would you put curtains up at the

windows of a condemned building?" Raised in a ghetto surrounded by boarded up buildings was quite a vivid image. I immediately answered, "No!" Then the voice said, "well training church leaders according to your plan is like putting up curtains at the windows of a condemned building." Needless to say, I cancelled the trip. Simply put, I was told that the church was already judged but I refused to believe it. So I went on a search that evolved into a study of church history. I figured if the church was already judged, history would reveal it. And it did. What I uncovered became the book entitled "the FAKE JESUS: Fallen Angels Among Us." The book provides details on how religious demons under the command of a fallen angel who calls himself ascended master, Jesus Sananda Immanuel, became the god of the organized church. In this teaching, I summarize the most outstanding signs to suggest that the Holy Ghost is no longer in the organized church. THE DEMONIC TAKEOVER You will not see the immediate truth of what I warn you about until you have your own revelation from the Lord. The Holy Ghost may use something that I write on this subject to motivate a decision that you may have already been contemplating. Nevertheless, no one can lead you out of the visible, organized church but the Holy Ghost. The most dangerous churches are those where the people are supportive and dedicated to good works. It is hard to leave smiling faces who provide good music and helpful projects and programs. After 25 years, I was led out. In fact, I literally had to be THROWN out when MY time came because "church" had become "comfortable." The Bishop and other church officers had to mess with my comfort zone for me to leave. Then again, "I had a dream." It was plain and it was clear. The Lord said, "Pam, if you don't come out, you will be like a candle, hidden undeer a bed. I will not be able to use you." Perhaps that will be the case for you. Perhaps God will set you up to be thrown out. But if you are among

the elect, you will either walk out yourself, or the Lord will allow the devil to use fake Christians led by demons within the visible church to PUSH you out. But out you MUST come in order to survive and escape the plagues that are coming upon those who still remain "in the house!!! I warn "the lukewarm" to take heed to the words of Paul to Timothy and the words of Jesus to the church at Laodicea. Don't get me wrong about this.

So what is the bottom line to Satan's not so tender trap? How was the devil able to get into the church, and not only secure a seat in the back row, but actually make his way to the pulpit? Well, through a gradual infiltration that has taken a century or two, Satan finally has his pulpit position. You see, the gateway for the religious demon is "by invitation." Invitations can be either formal or informal. Whether in ignorance or by design, when a person has made an appeal to Satan's services by either a formal pact or an informal agreement, that person has unwittingly submitted himself to the powers of darkness.. When signs, wonders and strange religious practices that did not emanate from the Holy Ghost are accepted as divine, a spiritual invitation is made to the fake Jesus. Without hesitation, the fake Jesus pushes his way through the doors of your soul. When sermons are preached by wrenching scriptures out of their context for the purpose of making three points that have nothing to do with repentance, rebirth or the resurrection, an invitation is made to the religious demon. When salvation is taken out of the sovereign calling and election of God and put into the hands of man to "make a decision for Christ" then Satan moved from the backseat into the pulpit. When unsaved people came to church altars "chanting" as they sought to speak in tongues, they invited demons to enter them and countless of these folk are now tormented, almost fully demonized. As would be expected, the sheep followed the preaching of a distorted gospel, looking for blessings, success, and prosperity to come in the abundant life they are taught that Jesus promised them. They have been seduced into believing that "they have a right to

the good life" and all that prosperity entails. Rarely do preachers even mention that serving Jesus Christ can also bring trial, tribulation, trouble and in some cases, even death. Consequently, Satan's seat has been securred by the gradual elimination of the cross from the gospel preached in most pulpits. Can Satan be unseated by the organized church?. How can he be? Though short lived, the bible tells us that Satan will have his day, when he officially takes his seat in the endtime synagogue, today called "THE CHURCH!" The organized church is fastly ringing true to her final name, Mystery Babylon. Furthermore, the time for repentance may already be OVER, because judgement of the household of faith has already occurred. The remnant within the church shall prevail along with the rest of the 144,000 righteous remnant. Whether an actual or a literal number, the truth is this. The way to the True Jesus is narrow and straight and the very few are those who enter in and find the real Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the only begotten Son of the Father.

SO WHAT IS GOIN ON?

I have been a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ since 1981, yet, I warn you. Church is not only a dangerous place , but around the globe, many churches are actually so dangerous, that its members should run from them as if the church building was about to explode at any minute. I have a pastor's heart and have functioned in the pastor's calling for two decades , and I am still a pastor without a visible pulpit. Yet I myself will never return for any reason. Even so, I personally believe that a person can grow spiritually without regularly attending any organized church. Most definitely, you should assemble with the saints, but the word of God does not lay out a detailed order of service, nor does it suggest the day you should assemble, the time or even the nature of the place or building where gathering together should take place. We live in a computerized world, where we can "assemble" 24 and 7. Simply put, I truly believe that the organized church as it now stands will be

completely revamped by the Lord. Why? Because quite frankly, the traditional structures are not working. I myself have no replacements to offer, I closed my own local assembly two years ago. For 25 years in the organized church as a minister, I was hopeful that repentance would bring about reformation and renewal to the organized church. However, the love of money, which is the root of ALL evil, has permeated most of the church and I seriously doubt if the Lord is going to allow it to continue to exist in its present state. Judgement is swiftly coming and I shunder at what is going to happen to church and to churchgoers. There are plagues for those who do not "come out of Her." My suspicion that the age of the organized church is either over or very close to ending has been growing over time. There is one startling fact.--- I emphasize a crucial, damnable sign of the end of the gentile age. The bottom of the bottom line is that souls are not being saved in the organized church. What is really troublesome is that I am finding that even the best churches can be hazardous, primarily because subtle deception is actually held in place by the sincerity and the commitment of its leadership. To be sincerely wrong can be almost as deadly as being obviously deceived or purposefully deceptive. In order to understand the nature of end times, we need to have a general insight on "what has been goin on." I have read newsletters, articles and books written by well meaning sisters and brothers that are too complicated for the average Christian. We have some very intelligent people in the remnant church---real deep, scholarly thinkers. The problem is that as they major on each individual tree, our minds are overrun with too many thoughts, too many ideas. To get a picture of "what's goin on" , it is important that we consider the intense significance of the fact that man was made a little lower than the angels. As are angels, we too are created beings. The highest created being was Lucifer, as there was no creature superior to him. Beneath Lucifer were the rest of the

angelic creation: cherubim and seraphim, the archangels, principalities and powers, the lower angels and demons. The bible also suggests that there were other living creatures on earth who themselves fell at the time of Lucifer's rebellion. It is believed that their disembodied spirits make up the lower class of demons. Of this, no one is sure. All we know is that no matter the class of demon, in the Name of Jesus, we can "cast them out from people." However, demons cannot be cast out of the organized church because the leadership will not repent for practical reasons that I call the 5 "P's". It has too much to lose. Position---self images are in jeopardy. Power---too many enjoy ruling over others. Prestige---vanity relishes in the exaltation of people. Pride---puffed up preachers will not admit to doctrinal error. Prosperity---too many livelihoods depend upon tithes and offerings. No one will risk financial stability in hard times. The dire situation of the visible church is like a run away train. To stop, it must crash.

And crash, it will.

BREAK YOUR SOUL TIE TO "HER!"

You may be one of those who has come out of the organized church, yet you may need deliverance from the Fake Jesus. If you need help, send me a private message.
