The entire site is covered in the purest form of elemental sulfur found anywhere on the planet outside of a laboratory! This is one of the Sodom and Gomorrah cities that the bible tells us were destroyed by sulfur from the sky.

‘After many years being athiest, observing the universe and studying science of astrophysics. I found out that, with respect to the immense space (universe) and science of statistics, this universe is impossible to be Godless. Now here is the bible showing itself as the word and record of truth.Man, i am an eternal believer of a God ever since i have finished my own pursuit of a God but this bible made my belief more than 100 percent eternal. My search is over. I’m at peace knowing God.’

The British Physicist Sir Colin Humphreys, Director of Research at The University of Cambridge and founder of the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride stated:
“When I look at the Exodus story through the eyes of a scientist, then it contains a lot of observations, which just make sense to modern science.”
The release of the new film, Patterns of Evidence: The Red Sea Miracle is just around the corner. The film marks the third installment in the Patterns of Evidence series. Here, we provide a glimpse of the opening personalities and questions that will engage viewers.
Then Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the LORD drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided. 22 And the people of Israel went into the midst of the sea on dry ground, the waters being a wall to them on their right hand and on their left. 23 The Egyptians pursued and went in after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 And in the morning watch the LORD in the pillar of fire and of cloud looked down on the Egyptian forces and threw the Egyptian forces into a panic, 25 clogging their chariot wheels so that they drove heavily. And the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from before Israel, for the LORD fights for them against the Egyptians.” 26 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the sea, that the water may come back upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen.” 27 So Moses stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to its normal course when the morning appeared. And as the Egyptians fled into it, the LORD threw the Egyptians into the midst of the sea. 28 The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen; of all the host of Pharaoh that had followed them into the sea, not one of them remained. – Exodus 14:19 (ESV)
New Patterns of Evidence Film to Explore One of the Biggest Miracles of the Bible
The Exodus event is the greatest story of redemption in the Hebrew Bible. The biblical narrative has captured the imagination of filmmakers and inspired countless numbers of people throughout history. Of all the Exodus miracles, there is one that is especially dramatic and punctuates not only God’s deliverance of Israel, but God’s judgement of Egypt. This miracle is the Red Sea crossing.
But was this event the large-scale miracle depicted by Cecil B. DeMille in his epic film, The Ten Commandments? Could it be that the Red Sea crossing was actually the small scale experience of tens of thousands of oppressed Hebrew slaves, near Egypt, and resulting from naturalistic forces such as an ordinary wind? Or, was the Red Sea crossing more along the lines depicted by DeMille in The Ten Commandments where an impossible deliverance of millions of people, through an untraversable deep sea, miraculously occurred?
On February 18th, 2020 the new Patterns of Evidence film, The Red Sea Miracle, will be featured in over 800 theaters across the US. This much anticipated film is the third installment in the Patterns of Evidence franchise, produced by Thinking Man Films under the direction of filmmaker Tim Mahoney. The contribution of this installment to the Patterns of Evidence series is that it addresses key questions related to the most significant event of the Exodus journey – the Red Sea crossing.
The film opens by introducing some of the challenges involved in the investigation, as well as some of the key players in the discussion. Filmmaker Timothy Mahoney stated, “I landed in Cairo, Egypt in April of 2002 with a small film crew. I was there to investigate the route Moses and the Israelites would have taken in the exodus out of Egypt. I thought this would be a one-year project, but here it is 20 years later. The story continued to grow year after year as I interviewed archaeologists, theologians and scientists with many different theories. Now, I’m eager to share all I’ve learned during that time.”
One important voice that Tim Mahoney interviewed was Hershel Shanks, founder of The Biblical Archaeology Society and Biblical Archaeology Review. When asked about the parting of the Red Sea, Shanks stated, “There are many miracles in the book of Exodus. Whether the Red Sea parted is a miracle. Whether the ten plagues happened is a miracle. Archaeology cannot prove or disprove a miracle.”
Mahoney realized that this investigation would be filled with miracles. Not just the parting of the Red Sea, but bringing up questions such as, “What is the definition of a miracle, does God work within the normal laws of nature or do miracles go outside of the laws of nature?”
Jim Phillips, Curator of Egyptian and Near Eastern Anthropology at the Chicago Field Museum of Natural History, comments, “I am happy for the people who are trying to quote “prove the Exodus,” in the sense that it’s an adventure. It’s a goal that in my opinion is unachievable in one’s lifetime. No one else has been able to do it over the last 2000 years.”
Mahoney also interviewed British Physicist Sir Colin Humphreys, Director of Research at The University of Cambridge and founder of the Cambridge Centre for Gallium Nitride.
He stated, “When I look at the Exodus story through the eyes of a scientist, then it contains a lot of observations, which just make sense to modern science.”
During the making of The Red Sea Miracle, Mahoney made contact with Cece DeMille, granddaughter of epic film producer Cecil B. DeMille, Mahoney asked her, “Why did he spend so much of his career making those types of films?” She responded “Because he loved the Bible. He thought the greatest stories were in the Bible. You don’t have to make them up, they’re there.”
Two geographers are featured in the production. Barry Beitzel, author of the New Moody Atlas of the Bible declares, “It isn’t any wonder that the prophets constantly hark back to the land of Egypt, and to the Exodus event as it becomes a paradigm of God’s miraculous saving power.”
Glen Fritz is author of The Lost Sea of the Exodus: A Modern Geographical Analysis. He further explains, “The first question most people ask is where is Mount Sinai? My first question as a geographer is where was the sea of the Exodus? Where was this sea that was parted and crossed?”
These personalities inject diversity of perspective, and keep the film charged with a point and counterpoint energy throughout, as others join in the debate along the way.
Major Questions in The Red Sea Miracle
Important issues that arise are related to the location and logistics of the Red Sea crossing, such as: “Was the crossing through a small body of water such as a shallow lake, or was it across an incredibly deep area, such as the Gulf of Aqaba?” Other intriguing questions include, “If a wind powerful enough to part the waters of the Gulf of Aqaba was involved, how could humans pass through and not be blown away?” Or, “If normal wind parted the waters, what does this mean as far as the supernatural character of a miracle is concerned?”
The Film Release – One Night Only – February 18, 2020
When asked about upcoming film release, Mahoney explained that The Red Sea Miracle is a Fathom Event with a one night only showing Tuesday, February 18, 2020. “What is unique about this showing in a theater setting is that you can bring friends who might not go to church with you, but will come to see a film in a theater,” he said. ”Afterwards you will have a lot to talk about. And you also can bring your family to see this faith-affirming film with powerful evidence matching the Bible.”
Here is an important endorsement just received:
“I’ve worked in a ministry that deals with the Bible’s history for 30 years. So, it is rare that I get a shot of excitement when I watch a film that attempts to cover such topics. This movie genuinely surprised me. It is scholarly, but thoroughly engaging at the same time. But most of all it tries to be faithful to Scripture. One of the best documentaries I’ve seen on the Bible’s history in years.”—Gary Bates, CEO, Creation Ministries International; CREATION.com
How You Can Help
Mahoney continued, “I want to challenge Thinkers to join our team in getting people out to The Red Sea Miracle Fathom Event. If you are a person who realizes that the Bible has changed the world and wants to share in that mission, then bring everyone you know to see this upcoming film. Here is a link to the resource page for The Red Sea Miracle where you can download posters and photos, and see the shareable trailer.
The Red Sea Miracle is the first film of a two-part release. It will give special attention to the journey from Egypt to the sea, searching the biblical narrative, ancient maps and geographical landmarks to understand the different crossing options and the miracle each would require.
In this film, viewers will not only be introduced to the issues involved, but will be treated to the kind of epic cinematography and biblical recreations only now available to filmmakers. Invite friends and family to this inspiring and enlightening film that will help us all to Keep Thinking!

Earlier in the year, international speaker and author, Laura Maxwell from Scotland, toured our beautiful country of Mexico.
She interviewed Maria, a woman who left Santeria, that we had helped to clean her house of occult shrines, artifacts and idols pertaining to that death cult two years prior.
Filming Interviews
Maria’s powerful testimony was recorded in that interview and we recommend you listen to it.
HEAR BELOW:
Laura also interviewed me on the spiritual climate of Mexico.
HEAR BELOW:
Also during Laura Maxwell’s stay, she shared her testimony at Centro Cristiano La Roca (The Rock Christian Center), in Querétaro City. It was a powerful meeting, the Holy Spirit manifested with his anointing during the meeting and extraordinary things happened.
In Queretaro, Mexico.
We have tried to gather some of the testimonies of people who were touched, healed, delivered and saved by Jesus Christ, while sister Laura was ministering at the end during the altar call.
First of all, while I was translating for sister Laura, I witnessed that at least 7 people received Jesus as Lord of their lives, they got born again, the power of God manifested in a very powerful way.
One particular lady I remember said that she had been abused for years, you could tell by her face that something bad was going on in her life. She said that she was struggling to forgive the person that had abused her. Sister Laura told her that to be free she needed to forgive that person. translated and I guided the woman to say a prayer of forgiveness, while sister Laura was praying for her.
Ministry time Mexico
She was touched by the power of God and started coughing and moving in a way that looked she was going to throw up. The ministry team brought a bucket and she started spitting blood into it. When she stopped her faced changed, it was the most radiant smile I have ever seen, she laughed and shouted “I’m free I’m free”.
Another particular girl after receiving Christ said that she had been a part of different occult practices and didn’t know she needed to renounce of them. She started crying, completely broken and repented of those practices. Sister Laura started praying for her in tongues and I heard when she said in Spanish “salporatras, salporatrasdiablosalporatrás”, that means ‘Get out from behind, ‘. Sister Laura does NOT speak in Spanish, showing this was a move of the holy spirit. The occult demons did come out of the woman.
Other people made commitments to break idols and occult books. Also some of the men and women sister Laura prayed for wanted physical healing. One lady said she had gastritis and pain in the stomach and the pain left. Another one said she had a lump or a cyst and then gave her testimony that she didn’t have it anymore. There was an old man with pain in the knees that got delivered from it.
And many more things that there is no space here to mention them all.
With pastors in Mexico
The pastor of the congregation told me that he was very impressed by sister Laura’s ministry and he thinks the church needs to stop playing games and talk about these things so that people can get free, for example, there was one Christian woman that said that she and her family used to look for UFO’s and extraterrestrial contact, that they didn’t even know those were demons, so she too she repented of such practices, along with her family.
HEAR BELOW:
And many more things that could fill up pages of people being saved, delivered and healed, praise the Lord. We give thanks to God. Jesus Christ was definitely glorified.
We look forward to more ministry visits from sister Laura and her husband Paul in the coming years.
With the Perales family, Mexico
I recommend you see sister Laura’s blog and YouTube channel for both the meetings at centro Cristiano la Roca and the interview with Maria a former Santería practitioner.

The battle against “fake news” has become a war on freedom of speech. Lots of countries, particularly in Europe and Asia, now have laws intended to eliminate inaccurate news presentations. But these laws have opened the door to suppression of legitimate political criticism and opinion.
Wenzel Michalski, the German director of Human Rights Watch, recently spoke of Germany’s fake news law. He said, “It is vague, overbroad, and turns private companies into overzealous censors to avoid steep fines, leaving users with no judicial oversight or right to appeal.”
Like Germany, the fake news law in France has only made matters worse. French judges can now order the immediate removal of whatever they deem misinformation during election campaigns.
Russia passed a law earlier this year imposing big fines for those who spread whatever the authorities consider fake news. Their law also fines anyone who shows “blatant disrespect” for the government online. Individuals can be fined over $6,000.
In every case, people wanting to restrict free speech used fear of fake news to get the laws passed.
The European Union is taking it even further. They have developed a fake news warning system. It identifies so-called fake news, passes that information on to other governments, and pressures online platforms to remove such content.
Truth is absolute. But mere human beings don’t know everything. Eyewitnesses to the same event can have wildly different stories about what they saw.
Academics in the same discipline often completely disagree on the facts they’re trying to interpret.
In a democracy, the people ultimately decide for themselves. And they don’t just decide how the facts should be interpreted. They decide which facts they will believe and which experts they will trust.
When a government decides these things for them, that government ceases to be a democracy.
The US Constitution upholds the right of free speech in the First Amendment. For that reason, the US government cannot directly regulate most speech. But many in America are intent on finding ways to bypass the First Amendment. They have enacted a strategy similar to that of the European Union – massive pressure on service providers and social media platforms.
Facebook chief executive Mark Zuckerberg told the Washington Post, “People worry, and I worry deeply, too, about an erosion of truth. At the same time, I don’t think people want to live in a world where you can only say things that tech companies decide are 100 percent true.”
That should not be a controversial position. But millions were outraged when they heard it.
The government can’t restrict speech, so these people hope to silence their ideological opponents using private companies. Some in government want to harass tech companies into suppressing any and all speech that might be deemed politically incorrect.
And when the federal government wants to harass you, it can be intimidating to anyone. It seems to be working. We keep hearing of organizations, people, and opinions pushed further down in search engine results, unable to advertise, or being banned from various social media platforms.
Facebook Unpublishes Posts!
It frustrates everyone to hear or read blatantly false information told as truth.
But attempts to regulate fake news run into the same problems over and over. Who decides what news is fake, and what news isn’t? Everyone has opinions. Whose opinions should override all others?
For Christians, this is a worldwide problem. The Gospel is not considered politically correct. Some people in power see the message of Jesus as a threat to their power. Other nations are run by people who see the Gospel as dangerous to society.
We need to stand up for free speech. More important, we need to proclaim the Gospel with clarity and love in every way we can. We need to be good stewards of the freedoms we have for as long as we have them.

“The Pope wants to unify all religions and all governments under one world order,” Rabbi Assur said. “What is the big surprise? He is not hiding anything. Just listen to what he says and who he is and his plans are right there for all to see.”
Pope Francis topped off his three-day visit to Thailand last Saturday with a meeting with Thailand’s supreme Buddhist patriarch Somdej Phra Maha Muneewong at Bangkok’s Ratchabophit Temple. The meeting took place in front of a 150-year-old gold statue of Buddha. The Pope followed Buddhist custom by removing his shoes.
During the meeting, the Pope gave the Buddhist Patriarch the Declaration on Human Brotherhood. The Declaration s a joint statement signed by Pope Francis of the Catholic Church and Sheikh Ahmed el-Tayeb, Grand Imam of Al-Azhar, last February in Abu Dhabi. The Pope met with the Imam last month to reinforce the Declaration.
The agreement between the two religious leaders was criticized for its stance on the diversity of religions.
“The fact that people are forced to adhere to a certain religion or culture must be rejected,” the document read. “As too the imposition of a cultural way of life that others do not accept.”
Many theologians from both Catholicism and Islam have criticized the agreement as untenable and essentially unacceptable to either religion which both have supersessionism as a basic tenet. While members of other religions may see this as a praiseworthy effort, Catholics and Muslims have expressed concern that this agreement represents a commitment by the leaders to a process that is unacceptable. This is especially problematic for Islam which punishes apostasy with death.
It would seem that bridging the gap between Islam and Buddhism will be an even more insurmountable task for the Pontiff. Islam was founded in the 7th century CE, approximately 600 years after the founding of Christianity and several thousand years after Judaism began. As an aggressive form of replacement theology, Islam appropriated all of the figures in the Christian and Jewish Bible as Muslim prophets. Even though Buddhism was founded in the 6th century BCE, Islam did not appropriate Siddhārtha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, as a Mulsim prophet. This may be because Islam considers Buddhism to be a forbidden form of idolatry.
Dr. Mordechai Kedar, a senior lecturer in the Department of Arabic at Bar-Ilan University, noted the irreconcilable differences that make a pact of brotherhood between Islam, Catholicism, and Buddhism unlikely.
“Islam absolutely considers Buddhism to be a form of idolatry,” Dr. Kedar told Breaking Israel News. “Islam cannot make a pact with Buddhism. Only fake Islam can sit with Buddhists and sing Kumbaya together.”
Dr. Kedar had doubts concerning the possibility of a faith-based pact between Islam and other religions.
“Even though Islam sees Christianity as a religion that they absorbed into Islam, they have a problem with Catholicism which shows Jesus on the actual cross. They cannot tolerate a religion that worships a man.”
“The pope is trying to make a global peace, or at least show his followers that he is trying to make world peace. But Islam does not allow a peace with infidels. They can make a tactical retreat or make gestures that look like peace but people who accept these pacts are just fooling themselves”
“The Pope wants to unify all religions and all governments under one world order,” Rabbi Assur said. “What is the big surprise? He is not hiding anything. Just listen to what he says and who he is and his plans are right there for all to see.”
The rabbi noted that Pope Francis was unique in several respects; he is the first pope from the southern hemisphere and, most significantly, he is the first Jesuit to be appointed to the position. Though established by papal order in 1540 to stop the spread of Protestantism and convert the indigenous peoples of Africa and the Americas, the Jesuit order has historically been treated with suspicion by the Catholic Church for being power-hungry.
“You assume that the pope is Catholic but he is certainly not acting like a Catholic,” Rabbi Asore said. “These alliances, his actions, are certainly not what a Catholic would do.”
“Brotherhood is a wonderful thing but one religion is only good if it is worshipping the true God,” Rabbi Asore said. “The pope’s vision of brotherhood does not prevent him from sitting in front of a gold idol or uniting with Ishmael. If he wants one religion, we know what God he is not worshipping.”
Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.’” Daniel 7:23 (The Israel Bible™)
Pope Francis has come under fire before for connecting the Catholic Church with the children of Ishmael. In 2015, 71 elders of the Sanhedrin tried the Pope in absentia for recognizing a “State of Palestine” with an official treaty. By doing so, the Sanhedrin claimed, the Pope was denying the covenant as described in the Bible in which God gives the land of Israel to the descendants of Jacob.
This marked the first visit by a Pope to Thailand in over four decades. Pope Francis was accompanied throughout the visit by his cousin Sister Ana Rosa, who has lived in Thailand for decades and is helping the pontiff as a translator. Thailand is a majority Buddhist country with 388,000 Catholics, representing .59 percent of its population. The Pope held mass in the National Stadium which was attended by over 50,000.
After leaving Thailand, the Pope traveled to Japan. Though he did not meet with any religious leaders, he gave a press conference in which he pursued his vision he euphemistically called “brotherhood.” Pope Franci criticized “Christian culture…that speaks of peace and lives on weapons.”
Pope Francis has also taken on a policy in which homosexuals are welcomed into the church so much so that the American LGBT magazine The Advocate named Pope Francis their Person of the Year for 2013.

POPE FRANCIS RELEASES A ONE WORLD RELIGION PRAYER VIDEO SAYING ALL FAITHS THE SAME
It is impossible that the “four major faiths” can ever be united on any sort of “common ground unless that common ground is the fulfillment of the end times prophecy of the apostate One World Religion. Which is exactly what this is all about and exactly was Pope Francis intends to create.
The Pope’s first-ever video message on his monthly prayer intentions was released Tuesday, highlighting the importance of interreligious dialogue and the beliefs different faith traditions hold in common, such as the figure of God and love.
Pope Francis has sent the first shot across the prophecy bow for 2016, clearly stating his desire to unite the world’s religions and create a one, global religion that will combine elements from Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and Judaism.
Francis repeatedly states that “we are all children of God” no matter what our faiths or religious beliefs might be.
This is in direct opposition to the Bible which states that only when born again in Jesus Christ alone can we ever be called God’s children.“And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” Revelation 17:4,5 (KJV)
Islam, Buddhism and Judaism all reject Jesus Christ as the Son of God. Roman Catholicism makes verbal assent to that fact – but – it is certainly not Biblical Christianity.
In fact, the Vatican system, mentioned in Revelation 17 and 18, is the “Whore of Babylon”! Therefore it is impossible that the “four major faiths” can ever be united on any sort of “common ground” unless that common ground is the fulfillment of the end times prophecy of the apostate One World Religion.
Which is exactly what this is all about and exactly what Pope Francis intends to create.
“For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26-28 (KJV)
“Many think differently, feel differently, seeking God or meeting God in different ways. In this crowd, in this range of religions, there is only one certainty that we have for all: we are all children of God,” Pope Francis said in his message, released Jan. 6, the feast of the Epiphany.
At the beginning of the video, a minute-and-a-half long, the Pope cites the fact that the majority of the earth’s inhabitants profess some sort of religious belief. This, he said, “should lead to a dialogue among religions. We should not stop praying for it and collaborating with those who think differently.”
THE VIDEO GOES ON TO FEATURE REPRESENTATIVES OF BUDDHISM, CHRISTIANITY, ISLAM AND JUDAISM, WHO PROCLAIM THEIR RESPECTIVE BELIEFS IN GOD, JESUS CHRIST, ALLAH AND BUDDHA.
Later on, after the Pope affirms that all, regardless of their religious profession, are children of God, the faith leaders state their common belief in love.
THE VIDEO THEN FEATURES CLIPS OF THOSE FROM DIFFERENT WORLD RELIGIONS DECLARING BELIEF IN THEIR VARIOUS DEITIES.
“I HAVE CONFIDENCE IN BUDDHA,” A FEMALE LAMA ANNOUNCES.
“I BELIEVE IN GOD,” A RABBI AFFIRMS.
“I BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST,” A PRIEST STATES.
“I BELIEVE IN ALLAH,” AN ISLAMIC LEADER DECLARES.
For the Bible believer, we live in absolutely amazing times as we watch the literal fulfillment of prophecies, some of which were made nearly 2,000 years ago, coming to pass in our seeing and hearing. It is all happening exactly as the Bible declares it would happen…
Is it any wonder many have said he has been a major prophetic sign since day one of his papal reign and that he seems to be the False Prophet the bible speaks of!

Dudley Anderson intervjuer Laura Maxwell på The Reality (Virkeligheten)

Dudley:
“Hei igjen, Jeg er Dudley Anderson med The Reality (Virkeligheten), et halvtimes talkshow om virkeligheten slik den er funnet i Kristus.
I verden møter vi så mange variasjoner av virkeligheten. Skriften sier at alle disse blekner til uviktige skygger i sammenligning med Jesu virkelighet. The Reality er produsert for surereality media. SRM er en lytter produsert tjeneste. Du kan hjelpe oss å nå titusener av mennesker rundt omkring i verden med budskapet om Jesu´ virkelighet ved å bli en RSM tjeneste partner.

I dag i The Reality møter vi Laura Maxwell. Laura er en ex-spiritualist. Etter at moren hennes ble involvert i Spiritist Kirken, oppdaget Laura at hun befant seg dypt inne i New Age og det Okkulte. Dessverre begynte moren hennes å lide angrep fra onde ånder som førte henne i døden.”
Laura:
“Moren min kunne bli dratt inn i transe, angrepet verbalt og fysisk av disse åndene. Og det var ikke bare disse såkalte avskyelige åndene som gjorde det, men det var også de som alltid hadde påstått å være våre døde slektninger og våre åndeveiledere, eller “Spirit guides”, som det var meningen skulle passe på oss. Disse er i virkeligheten ikke døde folk, de er egentlig onde ånder som later som de er døde folk og kler seg ut som dem -og Bibelen viser dette.”
Dudley:
“Etter at Laura begynte å gå i Spiritist Kirken, begynte hun å oppleve veldig ekte åndelige fenomen i livet sitt. Men snart oppdaget hun at de åndene hun trodde var snille, gode ånder av hennes kjære forlattes sjeler, at de faktisk var onde manifestasjoner gjort av demoner.
Som Guds Ord peker på i 2. Korinterne kapittel 11, vers 14: Og ikke å undre seg over, for til og med Satan forkler seg som en lysets engel.
Laura begynte snart å stille spørsmål. I Sin store kjærlighet og nåde for henne trådte Gud inn i livet hennes og avslørte de virkelige farene ved spiritualisme og New Age.
Dagens intervju på The Reality ble utført via Skype.
Jeg begynte vår samtale ved rett og slett å be Laura fortelle oss hennes historie.”
Laura:
“Ja, Takk, Dudley. Faktisk, da jeg var barn var jeg alltid opptatt av det overnaturlige, det paranormale og programmer på tv som “jakten på gjenferdene” (a la Åndenes Makt) eller hva som helst som hadde å gjøre med å kontakte de døde var ting som alltid hadde interessert meg. Og selvfølgelig viste det seg å være noe som ligger til familien. Min mor hadde samme interessen og hun hadde en onkel som faktisk var leder i en spiritist kirke i Bearshire, så,
faktisk, synske fenomen, og alle mulige lignende fenomen interesserte meg og min mor. Og som min mor hadde jeg også noen synske opplevelser helt siden barndommen som selvfølgelig gav drivstoff til denne interessen. Og det var ikke før jeg var like før i tenårene at min mor bestemte seg for å gå videre. Hun hadde allerede gjort ting som å se tv-program med meg om medium og synske og dratt til det lokale biblioteket og til og med kjøpt bøker av synske. Men en stund før jeg ble tenåring ble hun faktisk invitert til en spiritist kirke av noen, og dette var en kirke i Glasgow, så selvfølgelig kastet hun seg over sjansen til å dra, så hun dro dit, og ikke lenge etterpå ble jeg også med henne.”
Dudley:
“Hva imponerte deg, hva fant du der?”
Laura:
“Vel, det var ganske innlysende for oss at, du vet, det var ikke bare juks og fanteri, eller psykologisk manipulasjon. Det var innlysende for oss at fenomenene var veldig virkelige, at kreftene som ble brukt var veldig virkelige. Kort sagt; det som skjedde var at mediumene som deltok, om du vil, ville påstå at de kanaliserte åndene til de avdøde. Så fikk de beskjeder til menigheten og plukket ut noen fra menigheten og sa at: jeg har en beskjed til deg fra din onkel Bob Smith, og han var i militæret og bla bla, – og informasjonen var SÅ korrekt.
Noen ganger gikk de til og med i transe og tillot åndelige vesener å komme gjennom kroppene deres og bokstavelig tre fram. De kaller det transfigurasjons – sesjon (transfigurasjon- en fullstendig forandring i form eller utseende til en vakrere eller mer åndelig tilstand). Så, du vet, hvis du var i et rom og bestefaren din plutselig hadde stått der rett foran deg og snakket til deg, ville du sikkert mest sannsynlig tro at det faktisk var ham. For du vet, dette fenomenet var så ekte og så kraftfullt. De opererte også med evner til å på overnaturlig vis helbrede og profetere om framtiden. Det så bare ut for oss som et så virkelig fenomen at det bare måtte være det det påstod at det var, at det var de døde som tok kontakt med oss.”
Dudley:
“Mhm, Jeg har alltid lurt på, hvorfor kaller de det “Spiritualist Kirken”? Kirker er da visselig steder vi går til for å finne Jesus og Gud. Hva er sammenhengen, siden de kaller det kirke?”
Laura:
“Vel, selvfølgelig har de sin egen tolkning av Bibelen; de tror ikke på den, hovedsakelig. Du vet , da jeg var en spiritualist, var jeg også inni mange New Age- tros-system fordi det er sammenkoblet med spiritualisme. Så vi så egentlig på det slik at kristne hadde tatt feil av alt. Em. At Jesus egentlig bare var et synsk medium, og i kontakt med de døde, at han var en synsk healer og at han ikke var Frelseren. Og vi følte på en måte at vi hadde rett, vi hadde den korrekte kirken. På den måten at Gud brukte medium og døde mennesker og åndelige veiledere (spirit guides; åndelige vesener far andre dimensjoner) og romvesen og alle slags vesen der ute. Og at Gud tillot mediumene å kanalisere (bringe hit eller kommunisere med) dem til verden. Og at de kunne redde verden ikke fra synd på
samme måte som Jesus gjorde, men å opplyse oss til å hjelpe oss å utvikle oss som mennesker, om du vil. Vi følte at vi var den sanne kirken, kan du si. Og den stod fram som en kirke, vi gikk i kirken på søndag. Det var synging, mediumene som var på plattformen leste fra et utvalg at åndelige bøker. Faktisk tok de litt her og litt der fra forskjellige religioner, de kunne til og med kanskje lese fra Bibelen. Og så ville møtet, hvis du kan kalle det det, begynne. Og det er da de starter å kanalisere disse vesenene.
Dudley:
“Det er skikkelig interessant. Tydeligvis, Laura, kom du etterhvert til et punkt da du fant ut at den sanne virkeligheten ikke er en demonisk manifestasjon eller kanalisering av en avdød slektning. Men den sanne virkeligheten kan bare bli funnet i en riktig relasjon med Jesus. Hvordan skjedde det?
Laura:
“Ja, interessant nok, du skjønner, ting utviklet seg og min mor begynte å bli kanaliserer selv og jeg ble absolutt med til utviklings undervisningene. For jeg ville bli medium, jeg også. Selvfølgelig skjedde det fenomen hjemme som vi regnet med var døde slektninger i huset og til og med disse såkalte “åndelige veilederne” (spirit guides), såkalte “oppstigende mestere” (asended masters) fra andre planeter og så videre.
Og som jeg sa så var det veldig overbevisende, selvfølgelig; det var et veldig ekte fenomen. Men du vet, egentlig, ikke bare min mor og jeg , men vi hørte også om andre synske og mediumer og kanaliserere og spiritualist kirker og andre spirituelle møter og fellesskap hvor ofte så kalte onde ånder greide å komme igjennom og være voldelige og motbydelige og sånt og egentlig skikkelig plagsomme.
Så selvfølgelig, vet du de forskjellige forklaringene som blir gitt, vel uansett har vi å gjøre med ånder. Noen ganger kan en ond ånd komme igjennom, men der var ulike metoder som kanskje kunne stanse disse åndene som kom igjennom. Nå vel, den samme forklaringen virket logisk og vi aksepterte dem. Uansett, da slike ting begynte å skje med oss, var det selvfølgelig ikke noe behagelig, og ting kom egentlig etterhvert helt ut av kontroll.
For eksempel så kunne min mor drive å meditere eller gjøre yoga, når åndene fullstendig tok over henne -til og med når hun ikke ville at de skulle gjøre det. Og selvfølgelig var yoga og meditasjon to av nøkkel tingene som spiritualistene rådet oss til å gjøre, fordi de sa at de aktivitetene åpnet deg opp for det åndelige riket.
Så selvfølgelig adlød vi det og gjorde det. Vet du, yoga og meditasjon tillater barrierene våre å gå ned og tillater ånder å komme igjennom, uansett om personen innser det eller ikke. Og det var det som skjedde, så min mor ble ført i transe, hun ble angrepet verbalt og fysisk av disse åndene, og du kan skjønne det på en måte ved den åndelige forklaringen. Men, det som begynte å forvirre oss var at det ikke bare var disse ekstremt plagsomme åndene som gjorde det, men også de som alltid hadde påstått at de var våre avdøde slektninger og våre åndelige veiledere, som du vet, det var meningen at de skulle ta vare på oss.
Så dette begynte å forvirre oss, og vi fortalte det til spiritistene i kirka og de var veldig flotte folk, og de prøvde som best de kunne å hjelpe oss, men dessverre, så hjalp det ikke. På den tiden var jeg i mitt andre år på Universitetet, og jeg møtte
en kristen dame og jeg ble fort venner med henne og fortalte henne vår situasjon. Og vet du, hun sa til meg; disse er faktisk ikke døde mennesker, de er faktisk onde ånder som later som de er døde mennesker og forkler seg som dem. Bibelen viser dette. Bibelen viser at når noen er død går de enten til Himmelen eller Helvete, så de kan ikke komme tilbake som ånder eller spøkelser på noen måte. Så først tenkte jeg at dette var det sprøeste jeg noen gang hadde hørt. Men ting ble verre. Moren min, dessverre, du vet, åndene tok over henne, så mye at hun oppsøkte allmennlegen sin og bad om sovetabletter, og allmennlegen spurte hvorfor, og moren min forklarte, og legen sa at; vel jeg tror ikke på ånder, jeg tror du er schizofren, at du hører stemmer og ser ting. For din egen sikkerhet ser jeg det som nødvendig å legge deg inn på psykiatrisk sykehus. Og selvfølgelig hendte dette. Bare for å legge til, Dudley, dette var for mer enn 20 år siden nå, og i løpet av den tiden og tidligere har jeg hørt om mange andre som har endt opp i psykiatrisk sykehus på grunn av slike åndelige angrep. Så det er ikke en enestående situasjon. Selvfølgelig dro min mor inn dit, dessverre, og det var ganske så traumatisk for oss alle, vet du. Men så begynte jeg å lytte til min kristne venn, og mer og mer begynte å gi mening, og jeg tenkte vel, jeg har vært en new ager, en spiritualist, en person som med tendens til å være veldig åpen for alle typer åndelig trosretninger, du vet, vi har lånt fra hinduisme, vi har lånt fra buddhisme, og nå var vi åpen for alle religioner, egentlig. Og det slo meg plutselig, hvorfor ikke være åpen for at Jesus Kristus kan være Frelseren!? Hvorfor bare tro at han var et medium og så videre. Jeg burde virkelig undersøke dette, for dette var viktig. Og også fordi jeg holdt på å bli gal og helt klart virkelig trengte hjelp. Så, hun inviterte meg med til kirken hennes, det var en pinsevenn menighet. Jeg ble med, og den kristne som talte, det var ikke så mye det han sa, men det var mer en følelse av atmosfæren, noe var veldig annerledes her. Jeg følte en renhet, jeg følte en kjærlighet og jeg følte en styrke, jeg bare følte alle disse vidunderlige tingene som jeg ikke hadde følt i noe overnaturlig så langt.”
Dudley:
“Wow”
Laura:
“Og først tenkte jeg; vel, kunne dette bare være en veldig ond åndelig veileder som jeg følte, for jeg hadde fortsatt alle de rare ideene, men jeg hadde sannelig begynt å tenke mer på Jesus og satte spørsmål ved realiteten av hans eksistens, og realiteten i hva min mor og jeg var involvert i. Og det som skjedde var at den natta gikk jeg hjem, var åndene i hjemmet mitt var ganske så illsinte for at jeg gikk til den kristne kirka. Og de angrep meg. Så jeg hadde bokstavelig talt lyset på hele natta og var ganske så skremt. Og jeg fant en Bibel som jeg sikkert hadde fått på skolen, fra Gideon eller lignende, og jeg bare holdt fast i den egentlig, og bad:
-Hvis Gud er ekte, hvis Jesus ER frelseren og hvis spiritualisme faktisk er et bedrag, vær så snill å vis meg det og hva jeg skal gjøre.
Så ble jeg angrepet etter det, men jeg skal ikke gå inn på det, for dette er et familie show, men du vet når du hører om poltergeist aktiviteter, så er fenomenet fullstendig ekte, men de er klassifisert som demoner eller falne engler som Bibelen sier de er, og jeg vil ikke bruke ordet poltergeist. Uansett, jeg bad
den bønnen. Neste dag ringte det på døren, og der stod det en kvinne, og hun kalte seg en Romani Sigøyner, hun var synsk, og hun var i nabolaget en gang i året for å lese spådommer eller lignende. Så jeg åpnet døra. Og jeg glemte å si, Dudley, at i løpet av den natta så jeg fjeset hennes igjen og igjen, og jeg fortsatte å tenkte på henne og jeg undret meg over hvorfor jeg tenkte på henne?
Så dukket hun altså opp på dørtrappa mi og sa hovedsakelig: “Jeg har blitt en født-på-ny kristen. Herren, Den Hellige Ånd la på meg å komme å besøke deg og si til deg at den plassen du var på i går, har svarene” og hovedsakelig sa hun: “Du er nå i gang med å finne sannheten og begynne å vandre i din skjebne.” Hun sa “Jeg er ikke lenger synsk. De evnene jeg hadde var fra demoner og Jesus satte meg fri fra det der” så ja, det gav meg litt av et hakeslepp den morgenen.”
Dudley:
“Det er fantastisk hvordan Gud dirigerte det. Gud vet, gjør Han ikke, Laura? Når vi er i slike situasjoner som det der, så vet Gud hva som skjer i livene våre. Nå, det tar jeg som en skikkelig oppmuntring, selv om vi er så langt ifra Ham, så rekker Hans kjærlighet langt ut over de grensene, og sender de rette menneskene til rett tid, for Han kjenner til alt, gjør Han ikke?”
Laura:
“Ja, absolutt. Og, vet du, det måtte være noen som henne, det måtte være noen som var tidligere medium eller tidligere heks eller lignende som kom til meg. Hvis det hadde vært en annen kristen som aldri hadde gjort slike ting, hadde jeg aldri i livet vært så lydhør for hva de hadde å si. Og kort tid etter dette, kanskje det var neste dag eller noe sånt, hadde jeg en åpenbaring. Jeg så endelig at Jesus var Frelseren og at vi dessverre hadde blitt bedratt av falne engler under Satans kontroll, som hadde forkledt seg akkurat som Bibelen sier i Andre Brev til Korinterne, kapittel 11, vers 14:
“og ikke til å undres over, for Satan selv forkler seg som en lysets engel”
De hadde helt klart lurt oss. Så, jeg gav mitt hjerte til HERREN, og vet du, jeg var så begeistret for at jeg endelig hadde funnet Sannheten. Endelig hadde jeg funnet
Gud og jeg visste at jeg følte at jeg hadde funnet svarene etter alle disse årene med å se på ulike religioner, akseptere alle guder og slik retorikk. Å komme til den Sanne Gud var bare fantastisk!

Vel, Laura Maxwell vokste opp i et hjem åpen for okkulte og new age fenomen. Hun og moren begynte å gå i spiritualist kirken. Dessverre ble moren hennes demonisert av onde ånder og endte opp i psykiatrisk avdeling på sykehuset. Laura begynte å stille spørsmål ved virkelighet av den verden hun opplevde. Og Gud in sin kjærlighet og nåde trådte inn i livet hennes og ledet henne til å møte en kristen kvinne som talte Guds ord inn i hennes hjerte. Snart oppdaget hun at spiritualisme og new age og det okkulte var falske nyanser av håp og fred og
kjærlighet, presentert av Satan, løgnenes far. Den Hellige Ånd trakk mennesker inn i livet hennes, og hun angret og vendte endelig om fra sitt gamle liv og gav sitt hjerte til den ene sanne Gud. Vel, vi vet at djevelen er motstanderen til Guds kjærlighet, Guds nåde og Guds mening for våre liv. Bibelen kaller ham Satan. Satan betyr bokstavelig talt “fienden”. Han er fienden til Guds mening, fienden av Guds rettferdighet, fienden av Guds hellighet. Satan er en fallen engel skilt fra Guds rettferdighet og hellighet. Han er ond i alle sine forkledninger. Så etter at Laura gav sitt liv til Jesus Kristus, lurer jeg på om Satan bare lot henne være i fred fri til å leve sitt nye liv?
Laura:
“Nei, selvfølgelig ikke. Du vet, Bibelen er klar på det tvers igjennom, på at, du vet, vi lever i en fallen verden og derfor er vi i en åndelig krigføring. Vi er i en kamp uansett om vi er klar over det eller ikke, og det ville sannelig være ganske naivt å tro at så snart du har blitt født på ny ville det bli slutt på alle dine problemer. For det er ikke sant. Og sannelig de åndene som jeg hadde invitert inn i mitt liv, de var fortsatt der! Og du vet, hvis du ser i Bibelen, spesielt i Det Nye Testamentet, ser du at disiplene og apostlene og Jesus selv, tydeligvis, de kastet ut demoner fra folk, og det er fortsatt saken i dag.
Jeg hadde invitert disse åndene inn i mitt liv, og for eksempel noen medium vil bokstavelig talt kanalisere ånder igjennom kroppen sin og la dem snakke ut igjennom munnen sin. Så de åndene er faktisk i kroppene deres. Så når en slik person kommer til Jesus må disse åndene bli kastet ut av den personen. De forsvinner ikke bare av seg selv. Så derfor trengte jeg selv det vi kaller en utfrielses tjeneste (eksorsisme/åndsutdrivelse/kaste ut onde ånder). Jeg trengte at andre kristne kastet disse demonene ut av meg. Det er veldig interessant hvor avgjørende viktig det faktisk er.
Jeg skal skyte inn hva som skjedde med min kjære mor. Hun ble skrevet ut fra det psykiatrisk sykehuset også dro hun hjem. På den tiden var kirken som jeg hadde begynt å gå i veldig ny, pastoren var fersk og ingen i den kirken hadde noen erfaring i å forholde seg til noen fra det okkulte eller å kaste ånder ut av folk. De bare antok at min mor hadde tatt imot Jesus i sitt hjerte kort tid etter meg, de bare antok at hun var en kristen nå og kan ikke ha noen demonisk påvirkning rundt henne i det hele tatt, hun kan ikke være i noen krigføring i det hele tatt, hun er sikkert bare psykisk syk. Så min mor ble bare forlatt i den tilstanden, og fordi hun ikke fikk den åndsutdrivelsen, kan du si, så torturerte demonene henne fortsatt, trakasserte henne, slik mange andre tragisk nok har gjort.. Dette førte til hennes selvmord.
Dudley:
“Åh, Jeg er så lei meg for å høre dette.”
Laura:
“Ja.”
Dudley:
“Jeg er SÅ lei meg for å høre dette”
Laura:
“Og jeg tror det er grunnen til at jeg empatiserer. Du vet når vi ser på Det Nye Testamentet, så ser vi at Jesus og apostlene helbreder syke, og de gjorde mirakler og kastet ut demoner. Det er faktisk veldig viktig og noe kirken.. hvis vi gjorde mer av det i dag, tror jeg flere mennesker ville bli helbredet og det ville være færre mennesker som -slik som min mor -tar livet sitt.”
Dudley:
“Vel, Jesus underviste om det , gjorde han ikke? Han sa at du kan kaste en demon ut av et individ, og de vil forlate det individet, men de vil komme tilbake og de vil finne “huset” -så og si- rengjort, feid og klart og åpent, så han går bort og han tar med seg flere horder og flytter tilbake inn i det livet på nytt igjen. Så et individ som du selv, du trenger å fylle ditt liv med Jesus, med Den Hellige Ånd og Guds Ord, har jeg rett?”
Laura:
“Å, absolutt! Og som du sier så omhandler også omvendelsen ikke bare å si bønner om anger, og å si til Jesus “Unnskyld, vær så snill å rens meg, men den omhandler også å fullstendig vende seg bort fra den livsstilen. Og folk flest vil ikke avslutte den livsstilen spesielt hvis de har blitt traumatisert av ånder slik vi hadde blitt. Noen mennesker, har jeg hørt , har fortsatt et begjært etter det, en fristelse til visse okkulte ting, til og med etter at de har kommet til Jesus. Og jeg råder dem til, selvfølgelig, må vi være tålmodig og snill med folk som stoler på oss. Jeg råder dem til, selvfølgelig, å kaste ut alt, brenne alt hvis du har mulighet, slik de gjorde i Apostlenes Gjerninger. Men ha befrielses tjeneste (åndsutdrivelse/eksorsisme / kaste ut onde ånder).
Apostlenes Gjerninger 16. Vi vet at apostlene kastet ut spådomsånder, fra spåkoner, så det er et reelt fenomen. Søk å virkelig leve livet ditt feilfritt foran Herren. Hellighet er viktig. Lydighet er viktig. Og så vokser du nærmere og nærmere Jesus og fristelsen ved disse tingene avtar, akkurat som fristelsen til hva som helst i livet forlater oss etter som vi blir sterkere følgere av Jesus og mer lydige overfor Ham.”
Dudley:
“Amen. Der traff du blinken. Virkeligheten er som skriften sier i Åpenbaringen 8;
hvis vi har overkommet ham som er djevelen, satan, og alle hans mørkets horder, har vi overvunnet dem ved lammet Jesu blod, og ved vårt vitnesbyrds ord.
Laura, du har vitnet om Guds nåde, og om Herrens utfrielse i ditt liv. Jeg har lyst å spørre deg, kanskje noen som hører på dette akkurat nå befinner seg i en lignende situasjon som du gjorde, vil du bruke et øyeblikk til å be for denne personen?”
Laura:
“Ja, Tusen takk, Dudley. Jeg ville være beæret over å få lov til det.
Himmelske Far, vi takker deg for de kjære lytterne, spesielt de som dette går inn hos. Og Herre, vi ber at Du vil trekke denne personen enda nærmere Deg. Jesus hvis de ikke kjenner deg , så ber vi om at de vil invitere deg inn i livene sine, at de vil bli født på ny, og at de vil begynne å følge deg som sin dyrebare Frelser. Herre, vis disse personene hvor mye du elsker dem, hvor mye du beundrer dem.
Du vil det beste for dem, og du ønsker dem helbredet. Og Jesus, led disse personene til å føle frihet, føle befrielse fra alle demoniske ånder i og rundt dem, tilbake igjennom slekten deres også, og alt de har vært involvert i, Herre. Gi Dem et helt nytt liv. Og vi takker deg, Herre, for at Du har en god plan for disse menneskene, i Jesu dyrebare navn.”
