Sunday's Oklahoma City's black mass

Can a man take fire in his  bosom, 
and his clothes not be burned?

9.10.2014
A tornado of gas and fire, swirling 3,280ft  into the air
above Iceland's  Bardarbunga volcano,
which has been rumbling with seismic activities
and eruptions since last month. 




The satan-followers are at it again.  

This coming Sunday evening, Year of Our LORD+, 9.21.2014,  the enemies of Our LORD and SAVIOR+ , JESUS CHRIST, will try to hold a satanic ritual where they stomp and spit upon a substitute Roman Catholic "host" .... that is, the wafer that --- to the devout Christians in the Roman Catholic camp --- represents the BREAD+, the BODY of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST. 

Because the Constitution of this nation upholds their right to do so, the city officials in Oklahoma City seem powerless to stop this group's blasphemy, token or not.

There is ONE+,  however, Who+ hears and answers prayers.  

There is ONE+, however, Who+ recognizes that there are MANY who have not bent the knee to baal. 

There is ONE+, however, Who+ heard the cry of Elijah at the appointed show-down, and not only sent fire from Heaven to burn up Elijah's sacrifice on the altar, but burnt up the altar stones and the water in the large trench round about the altar as well !   

HE+ has not gone anywhere... and HE+ has not lost any of His+ power.  

     2 Corinthians 10: 3-6
 For though we walk in the flesh, 
we do not war after the flesh: 

(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through GOD 
to the pulling down of strong holds;) 

Casting down imaginations, 
and every high thing 
that exalteth itself 
against the knowledge of GOD,
and bringing into captivity 
every thought 
to the obedience of CHRIST;





And having in a readiness 
to revenge all disobedience,
when your obedience is fulfilled.  


Dear Brethren, 

Here is the crux of the matter.  When our obedience is fulfilled, Psalm 89:7 will occur: 

" GOD is greatly to be feared

in the assembly of the saints, 

and to be had in reverence 
of all them that are about HIM+." 

If we see no fear of GOD occurring where we live, then is our obedience fulfilled ,  in the eyes of GOD ?  

Is our obedience exactly where it should be, in the eyes of GOD? 

Is our obedience such that GOD is SO PLEASED WITH IT that HE+ sends forth so strong an out-pouring of conviction that both saints and sinners are in fear and awe about what HE+ might do ? 

Do we who claim to follow Our LORD JESUS CHRIST with all that is within us, actually take every thought captive unto obedience unto CHRIST... or do our ungodly , temporal, worldly thoughts take US captive instead ?  

How, exactly, do we expend our "thought-time?"  

To the glory of GOD... or to the expression of Self ?

No-one will EVER know, except JESUS HIMSELF+.  Will we grieve the HOLY SPIRIT or  be filled with HIS abundant joy?

Yes, let us stand united with these courageous Roman Catholics who are crying out to The LORD JESUS CHRIST to thwart this blasphemy occurring in the area where they live. 

But if we wish The LORD to hear our cry on this issue --- or on any other issue --- then let us seek to have our OWN lives IN ALL AREAS OF OUR LIFE AND CALLING filled with obedience .... the kind that HE+ finds well-pleasing in His+ sight. 

So... after soul-searching, searingly-honest repentance, with clean hands and clean consciences before GOD, we can pray. 

     Praying now, according to the Will of GOD, according to all the authority given to us by the LORD JESUS CHRIST, and by all the authority through The BLOOD+ of The LAMB+, we pray in accord:

That The LORD bind the power of the strongman called spirit of anti-CHRIST, and we agree with HIM+ and bind you, strongman, in The Name of JESUS CHRIST+ our LORD, along with all of your works, roots, fruits, tentacles, links, spirits, lies, deceptions, and torments, along with those spirits of 

  • deniers of the Deity of CHRIST
  • deniers of the Atoning BLOOD+ of JESUS
  • enemies of CHRIST and His+ Word
We, with all the authority that CHRIST JESUS grants to us through HIS+ BLOOD, we bind you and loose you to go wherever The LORD JESUS CHRIST+ sends you. 

Furthermore, In the NAME of The LORD JESUS CHRIST, we command you to loose those you have taken captive in their ignorance or through their wounds or mis-guided teaching.  We command those hindering spirits to let them go towards The LORD JESUS CHRIST. 

We ask this in the Life-Giving Name of the ONLY NAME+ given under Heaven among men, whereby we must be saved, the LORD JESUS CHRIST. 

In the Name of The FATHER,
WHO created us;
His Holy SON+ JESUS CHRIST,
Who+ saves us; 
And the blessed HOLY SPIRIT,
WHO+ sanctifies us. 
Amen.

READY for PENTECOST ?

Matthew 3

11 I [ John the Baptist ] indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but HE+ that cometh after me is mightier than I, Whose+ shoes I am not worthy to bear: HE+ shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:

12 Whose+ fan is in His+ Hand, and HE+ will throughly purge His+ floor, and gather His+ wheat into the garner; but HE+ will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.


PENTECOST  

WHAT DOES IT COST ?

What did it cost the Apostles?

What did it cost the Early Christians?

More importantly, 
what is it costing us ? 

The Day of Pentecost is GLORIOUS because the followers of JESUS were endued with flaming, Heaven-sent Power from on High. They were seeking The LORD with one accord. HE+ came, sending forth His+ Blessed HOLY SPIRIT, so that they could be witnesses of HIM+ throughout the whole earth.   

The HOLY SPIRIT power did not fall on them to make the followers of JESUS famous nor rich nor popular. The Power from on High was not given to enhance their own lives and make them comfortable, healthy, and able to live their lives without trouble. 

Indeed, the very opposite happened. 

In the face of ugly death and cruel torture and horrific slaughter by the demonized enemies of CHRIST JESUS, the HOLY SPIRIT power made them UN-STOPPABLE in proclaiming The LORD JESUS CHRIST.  

They were enabled to stand for JESUS  even in the face of their children and families and friends being butchered.  

This is WHY The Power of Pentecost  is given. We yearn for that power. Do we yearn for what accompanies the out-pouring of the true HOLY SPIRIT ?  

The HOLY SPIRIT is not given to make us comfortable in this life.

The HOLY SPIRIT is poured out to make us holy.  

The HOLY SPIRIT is given to help us stand, like CHRIST JESUS stood in the face of His+ enemies as HE+ was nailed to the Cross. It is invincible. 

Can we stand like these Nigerian Brothers and Sisters did THIS VERY WEEK,  on Wednesday, June 4, 2014 ? 

Can we bear testimony like that 80-year-old saint did, who is now clothed in a white robe, residing under the Altar of the THRONE in Heaven, with the other martyrs ?  

Revelation 6 
And when he had opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the Word of GOD, and for the Testimony which they held:

10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O LORD, Holy and True, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?

11 And white robes were given unto every one of them; and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for a little season, until their fellowservants also and their brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be fulfilled.

Massacre of Christians in North Nigeria (Gwoza)

Update:Death toll rises to 168 

Posted on June 4, 2014 by VOICE OF THE PERSECUTED  

 By Our Nigerian Foreign Correspondent  (Voice of the Persecuted

The death toll in the bloody attack on the Christian community continues to rise this morning. As of 4th June 2014, a reliable source who went to Attagara reconfirmed the number of casualties stating that an additional 88 bodies were found, bringing the total to 168 casualties. 

“I counted the corpses with my hands”, he said. Most of them were children and youths.

Another source gave some information on the figures.
  • 52 people died at the church compound.
  • 48 in the nearby village, Aganjara.
  • 29 were found death in a cave after the insurgents trapped and opened fire on them.
  • 3 were roasted in a fire.
  • 36 were slain with a knife and thrown on the street.
“The attack was so terrible that the actual figure could yet be determined,” he said.

A woman who witnessed the slaughter of her 9 year old son, wailed as she spoke to our correspondent by phone describing the terror. They drug her son and slew him. 

They then grabbed for her younger child who is still nursing, intending to slaughter the innocent. She gripped the insurgents and was able to escape with her baby. “I ran for over 40 kilometers. Only God knows the people that were killed,” said the woman.

An elderly Christian man faced the Boko Haram and died a martyr when the insurgents slashed his body, part by part, with a sword. He had bravely told them,

“IF YOU DON’T REPENT OF KILLING INNOCENT CHRISTIANS THAT BELIEVE IN JESUS, THEIR BLOOD WILL JUDGE YOU.”

This statement provoked the insurgents and they beheaded the 80 year old man, a witness said.

It was gathered that more people were still missing and many of the dead had not yet been retrieved from the hills and nearby bush. 

“I don’t know how to explain this tragedy,” a Pastor lamented. “We just found 2 children lying dead in the toilet.” 

A Community leader who demanded anonymity, confirmed that so many corpses were seen without heads. Many are still in hills and backyards,” he noted.

Very early this morning, the insurgents were seen headed towards Jubrili village with over 400 goats and sheep, 50 cows and valuable items they had looted from the Christians. 10 of them were seen carrying AK 47’s and  moving the animals, a witness said. 

“Go there, you will see them,” he told our correspondent. “They would never cross to Cameroon because the border is being well guarded. But they were trying to move the animals to Sambisa, because our security would never be there,” he added.


Note: Soldiers are claiming they could not go to the areas because they did not receive orders from their command headquarters. We ask, “Why not? ---- Question asked by blogger: I AM NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST. wordpress.com Article may be reprinted with credit to Voice of the Persecuted


And they overcame him by

The BLOOD of The LAMB+

and by the Word of their Testimony,

and they loved not their lives unto the death.

The Essential ASCENSION : The 3rd Essential Component of the Deliverance of Mankind from the Power of satan

Thick dust clouds block our night-time view of the Milky Way,
creating what is sometimes called the Dark Rift.

Acts 1 

All Scriptures are courtesy of www.biblegateway.com

The former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of all that JESUS began both to do and teach,  Until the day in which HE+ was taken up, after that HE+ through the HOLY SPIRIT had given commandments unto the apostles whom HE+ had chosen: 

To whom also HE+ shewed himself alive after His+ passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of GOD.... 

And when HE+ had spoken these things, while they beheld, 
HE+ was taken up; and a cloud received HIM+ out of their sight.

And while they looked stedfastly toward Heaven as HE+ went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;  Which also said,

Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into Heaven? 

This SAME JESUS, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen HIM+ go into Heaven.

The 3rd essential component of the deliverance of mankind from the power of satan was accomplished after the RISEN CHRIST had walked and talked and eaten broiled fish and a piece of honeycomb with His+ followers for 40 days here upon earth. 

The first component was, of course, Our LORD'S Crucifixion. The second component was His+ Mighty Resurrection. The third component was His+ Glorious Ascension. With these three works, The LORD JESUS CHRIST effected the deliverance of mankind from the power of satan to kill, steal, and destroy the souls of men. All three works were necessary.

His+ Ascension was essential according to His+ words in John 7:39 and John 16:7:

from John 7: 37-39 :
 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, JESUS stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto ME+, and drink.
38 He that believeth on ME+, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of Living Water.
39 (But this spake HE+ of the SPIRIT, which they that believe on HIM+ should receive: for the HOLY SPIRIT was not yet given; because that JESUS was not yet glorified.)


... and in John 16: 7 


Nevertheless I+ tell you the truth; 
It is expedient for you that I+ go away: 
for if I+ go not away, 
the COMFORTER 
 (PARACLETE, i.e., the HOLY SPIRIT) 
will not come unto you; 


 but if I+ depart, 
I+ will send HIM 
unto you.

That GLORIOUS  Ascension of CHRIST was the prerequisite for sending forth the HOLY SPIRIT to His+ followers ....sent by CHRIST from the FATHER... so that those who followed The LORD JESUS CHRIST could be endued with POWER from on High. 

For, 
without ME+, 
ye can do nothing. 

The Collect for AscensionTide

GRANT, we beseech thee, Almighty GOD, that like as we do believe Thy only-begotten SON+, our LORD JESUS CHRIST, to have ascended into the heavens; 

SO we may also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with HIM+ continually dwell, WHO+ liveth and reigneth with THEE and The HOLY SPIRIT, one GOD, world without end. Amen.

To all Serious Followers of JESUS ( Y'SHUA HA MASHIYACH) : 

Add your prayers to ours as we pray AGAINST the satanic black mass being "performed"  TONIGHT at Harvard University, under the auspices of the Cultural department.   

( More details coming shortly. Pray now! )

DETAILS from FoxNews.com:

 Harvard’s satanic “black mass” will go on, despite widespread condemnation from religious and educational leaders who say the event is an affront to the faithful.
The event, organized by the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club and the New York-based Satanic Temple, is to take place at an on-campus bar and is being billed as part of a "larger effort to explore the religious facets" that influence contemporary culture, organizers from the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club say. The ceremony has traditionally been performed by satanic cults to parody the Catholic church, and officials at the Archdiocese of Boston are furious that such an event could be held on the Ivy League school's hallowed grounds....

Nearly 400 Harvard students and 100 alumni have reportedly signed a petition opposing the event.
“This form of satanic worship not only ridicules the central practice of Catholicism, the Mass, but it also mocks and offends all who have faith in Christ,” the petition reads. “Far from being an event that promotes an understanding of “cultural practices,” it, in fact, promotes contempt for the Catholic faith and religion generally. We are Catholics, other Christians, and supporters of genuine tolerance and civility, and we are offended and outraged this event has been permitted to take place at Harvard.”

The New York-based Satanic Temple will be staging a black mass on Harvard University’s main campus...  Monday .

Satanic Temple spokesperson says his group contacted the Harvard Extension Cultural Studies Club to organize a re-enactment of a black mass based on the imaginings of French writer Joris-Karl Huysman in the novel “La-bas.” Huysman wrote the novel during the French Occult Revival of the 1800s.


The Satanic Temple, on the other hand, has been actively involved in the church-state debate in the past. 

Currently, the group is trying to plant a monument to Satan at the Oklahoma Capitol as an alternative to a Ten Commandments monument that has been there since 2012.



Although we at the Order of the GOOD SHEPHERD+ are not Roman Catholics, we applaud the firm stand that church organization is taking against this strong-hold of unclean activities. How strange it is that "freedom"  is so often defined as being "free" from the GOD of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob... and HIS standards of holiness.    

YHWH ( JEHOVAH ) is 
a man of war: 
the LORD is HIS Name !

Who is this KING+ of Glory? 
The LORD strong and mighty, 
The LORD mighty in battle. 

Who+ is this KING+ of glory ?
The LORD of Hosts*
( divine Heavenly warriors)

HE+ 
is the KING+ of Glory !
