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 !

CHOOSE this day WHOM ye will serve....

because...
.
No man can serve two masters:
for either he will hate the one,
and love the other;
.
or else he will hold to the one,
and despise the other.
.
Ye cannot serve
GOD and mammon.
.
Words of Our LORD JESUS CHRIST
to His Disciples in Matthew 6:24
.
Now, let's look at the Greek :
No one has the power two lords to slave to;
for either the one he will hate
and the other different one
he will AGAPE (love enough to lay down his life for);
.
or
.
one he will cleave to
and the other different one he will despise.
You do not have the power
to be a slave to GOD and Mammona.
.
.
The GREEK is important because it brings out the essence of the difference between the kingdoms of THIS world and THE Kingdom of GOD.
  • We see that the two kingdoms are entirely different.
  • We see that the difference is because of whom is being served:

GOD or Mammona, a wicked spirit.

  • We see in the GREEK that Our LORD JESUS CHRIST said that man does NOT have the power ... is totally UNable... to serve both GOD and Mammona at the same time.
  • We see that this servitude is not picked up and laid down; but rather, it is a life-encompassing slavery.
.
Having the rule over wealth --- mammon--- is the sole most important feature of the kingdoms of this world. Control over things that contribute to wealth is what war is fought over, be it diamonds, iron ore, oil, or shipping lanes. James chapter 4 confirms this truth.
.
.
Wikipedia lays the Christian doctrine of "Just War" [ i.e., righteous war ] at the feet of Augustine of Hippo ( 354-430 AD ) and Thomas Aquinas. This was a total break away from the teachings of CHRIST and His+ Apostles which was uniformly held by the Early Church of the first two centuries.
.
The Reformers, in an effort to correct the corrupted teaching of the Roman Catholic church, unfortunately kept the heretical doctrine of "Just War" even as they broke away from the established church. Indeed, some of the Reformers were not content simply to teach this heresy; at least one (Zwingli) was killed in battle while fighting other Christians !
.
THE LORD JESUS said,
"My+ Kingdom is NOT OF THIS WORLD..."
.
Did HE+ mean that literally ?
+
Do not think that I+ do not know where your true loyalties lie. I see your tears and your zeal to promote and protect the red, white, and blue ... no matter what the cost. Do not let it cost you your soul. Separate yourself from the unclean thing and become single of eye ...before the Kingdom of GOD+ is torn from your hands and given to a people more worthy.
+
I+ have not called you to defend any secular nation... not its wealth, not its life-style, not its pride. I+ have called you to defend one Kingdom+ alone... the Kingdom of GOD+... with mighty weapons which are not carnal nor tactile nor visible. Remember: If you take the sword, you shall die by the sword... even if you "only" take it in your heart.
+
Beware of pulpits or "Christian" voices wrapped in red, white, and blue. Their hearts are divided and their true loyalties are given over to Mammona and wealth. They have chosen this. They will have no part in My+ inheritance.
+
Behold, I+ have set before you an open door.
I+ AM the WAY, The TRUTH, and The LIFE.
No man comes to The FATHER, but by ME+.
+ + +
In The Name of The FATHER,
His beloved SON+, Our LORD JESUS CHRIST,
and the blessed HOLY SPIRIT.
Amen.

“Lift up your heads…”

Lift up your heads, O ye gates;
and be ye lift up,
ye everlasting doors;
and the King+ of Glory shall come in.

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

Lift up your heads,
O ye gates;
even lift them up,
ye everlasting doors;
and the KING+ of Glory shall come in.

Who is this KING+ of Glory?
The LORD of Hosts,
[ of divine, Heavenly Armies]

HE+ is the KING+ of Glory.

Psalm 24:7-10

“Lift up your heads…” we can feel the marvelous victory of this elated phrase, but do we realize all that it entails?
The word head is ROSH in Hebrew. That word and its related form, RAYSH, appear about 596 times in the Old Covenant (Old Testament), according to William White, Jr.* Yes, it does mean a head of a body, animal, or statue, but it has several other usages in the Hebrew Bible.

Interestingly, to “lift up the head” is a figure of speech used often in the Psalms and indicating an intention to begin a war, the most violent kind of self-assertion, according to Mr. White.

With the coming of Emmanuel, GOD-with-us, The LORD declared war on the kingdom of darkness entrapping the human race. Even more, The LORD declared His means of victory: HIS+ Only-Begotten SON.

That… or more accurately stated, HE+… was HIS weapon of warfare. HE+ was all that was needed to deliver mankind from the traps and lies of the adversary… the same adversary who was walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

PEACE, yes, was announced to mankind upon the Birth of JESUS CHRIST, not simply to all men, but rather to all who would respond to His+ invitation to repent and follow HIM+.

But at His+ Birth, WAR was announced to His+ enemies, the enemies of GOD. WAR was announced to the rulers of the darkness of this age and to the keepers of the gates of hell [Hades].

Thus, at the remembrance of His+ Incarnation, we need to remember BOTH of His+ announcements: a promise of WAR and a promise of PEACE. Both promises are a matter of great rejoicing! Both promises are for our benefit. And indeed, we cannot have one without the other.
.

Bless GOD,
FATHER, SON+, and HOLY SPIRIT!
Blessed be HIS+ Kingdom
forever and ever!
Amen.
