“Debunking Christianity” Writer Becomes Christian Because Of Evidence!

“Some time last week, I realized that I could no longer call myself a skeptic. After fifteen years away from Christianity, most of which was spent as an atheist with an active, busy intent on destroying the faith, I returned to a church (with a real intention of going for worship) last Sunday. Although I know I may struggle with doubt for the rest of my life, my life as an atheist is over.

THE PRIMARY MOTIVATOR IN MY CHANGE OF HEART FROM A CHRIST-HATER TO A CARD-CARRYING DISCIPLES OF CHRIST MEMBER WAS APOLOGETIC ARGUMENTS FOR GOD’S EXISTENCE.

Those interested in these arguments may pursue them in the comments section, but I don’t want to muddle this explanation up with formal philosophical proofs. Briefly, I grew tired of the lack of explanation for: the existence of the universe, moral values and duties, objective human worth, consciousness and will, and many other topics.

The only valid foundation for many of those ideas is a personal, immaterial, unchanging and unchangeable entity. As I fought so desperately  to come up with refutations of these arguments – even going out of my way to personally meet many of their originators, defenders, and opponents  – I realized that I could not answer them no matter how many long nights I spent hitting the books.

The months of study rolled on to years, and eventually I found an increasing comfort around my God-believing enemies and a growing discontent and even anger at my atheist friends’ inability to kill off these fleas in debate and in writing, an anger that gave birth to my first feeling of separateness from skepticism after reading comments related to a definitively refuted version of the Christ Myth theory, the idea that Jesus Christ never even existed as a person at all.

LINE AFTER LINE AFTER LINE OF PEOPLE HATING CHRISTIANITY AND LAUGHING AT ITS “LIE,” WHEN SOLID SCHOLARSHIP REFUTING THEIR IDEA WAS IGNORED COMPLETELY.

It showed that the motive of bashing and hating Christianity for some skeptics wasn’t based in reason and “free thinking” at all, although it would be unfair to lump many of my more intellectually rigorous and mentally cool skeptic friends in this way.

As time went on, I reverted the path I traced after giving up Christianity so long ago: I went from atheist to agnostic to … gulp … *leaning* in the direction of God, to finally accepting that he very well could exist, and then to coming out and admitting (quietly) He did exist.

After considering Deism (the belief in a God who abandons His creation), Islam, Hinduism (yes, Krishna, don’t laugh), Baha’i, and even Jainism briefly, I have decided to select Christianity due to its superior model for human evil and its reconciliation, coupled with the belief that God interacted with man directly and face-to-face and had *the* crucial role in this reconciliation.

This, of course, doesn’t prove that Christianity is absolutely true (although I can prove that God exists), but rather reflects my recognition that Christianity is exactly what I would expect to be the case given that God exists.

There are problems that I have with adopting any specific layout of Christianity, which explains my current attendance at what many of you may consider to be a very liberal denomination in the Disciples of Christ. Their aim is to unify all believers in the essentials, while leaving nonessential beliefs (however important) up to the member to decide.

The essentials are about all I can honestly grasp at this moment. At its philosophical core, I prefer the Reformed (Calvinist) tradition, perhaps by a long shot, but there are many very serious practical issues I can’t resolve. Conversely, Catholicism is a practical Godsend (pardon the term) but I have problems with their philosophy.

And I don’t agree with many political issues of either of those branches or the majority of Christian branches in general. I have a long way to go and I know the many problems religion has in general and that Christianity has in specific, but they do not exceed the fatal problems in skepticism.

I understand that this may confuse and even upset many of the friends I’ve had for a long time, both in my personal life and in the years-long journey I’ve made as a skeptic-to-believer. Christianity is not without its critics, and given the absolutely shameful way many “Christians” have treated homosexuals, drug addicts, people of other faiths (and of no faith) and races, and even people of different Christian denomination, and given the often intellectually embarrassing way we’ve handled science and philosophy, I would not blame you for a second if you did not want to associate with me based on the track record of those who claim to believe similarly to what I believe now.

I am the same Darrin as I was before, a math teacher, a storm chaser, D&D gamer, drunk philosopher, a lover of beer that’s too strong and spice that’s too hot,  and all the rest of it. I just hope to be a little cleaner, more honest, more Christ-like.

I WON’T THROW THE BIBLE AT YOU AND I WON’T PREACH TO YOU WITH WILD EYES AND A MILLION MILE STARE ABOUT HOW YOU SHOULDN’T BE GAY OR HOW YOU SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT HITCH CALLS THE “ETERNAL THEME PARK.

This is all the evangelism you’ll get from me (unless you ask after I’ve had too much Guinness) and I do hope it’s quite enough to motivate you to study the evidence for God’s existence yourself and to read the Bible without the predetermined idea of tearing it apart. Come over to the dark side; we have tea and cookies.”

Post Truth: 2016, The Year Truth Was Irrelevant.

winter-snow-fire

2016: The Year Truth Was Irrelevant

By Avery Foley on January 1, 2017

 If you had to pick one word to sum up 2016, what would it be? Each year, Oxford Dictionaries chooses a word or expression to “reflect the passing year in language.” For 2015 they made a lighthearted and rather surprising choice: Oxford Dictionaries Word of Year 2015.1 This year the selection was much more serious. For the Word of the Year 2016, they chose post-truth.2

Truth—Meh, It’s Irrelevant

Oxford Dictionaries defines the adjective post-truth as

Relating to or denoting circumstances in which objective facts are less influential in shaping public opinion than appeals to emotion and personal belief.3

In this case, the prefix post- doesn’t mean after as it does in post-war. Rather, Oxford notes that it “has a meaning more like ‘belonging to a time in which the specified concept has become unimportant or irrelevant’.” So in a post-truth world, truth is irrelevant.

In the past year this word, coined in the 1990’s, saw a 2000 percent increase in usage. Particularly it’s used in the phrase “post-truth politics” in reference to Brexit and the US election. Casper Grathwohl, President of Oxford Dictionaries, says

It’s not surprising that our choice reflects a year dominated by highly-charged political and social discourse. . . . Fuelled by the rise of social media as a news source and a growing distrust of facts offered up by the establishment, post-truth as a concept has been finding its linguistic footing for some time.

He adds, “I wouldn’t be surprised if post-truth becomes one of the defining words of our time.”

My Beliefs, My Opinions, My Truth

What exactly is a post-truth culture? It’s a culture where truth is no longer an objective reality. It has become subjective. It’s what’s true for me—my beliefs, my opinions, determine my truth. Dr. Al Mohler, president of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, sums it up as the mindset that

All truth is relative, all truth claims are relativized, and all statements of what might be called traditional or conservative moral judgment are just very well disguised efforts at oppression.4

He provides an example of how this works. When a Bible-believing Christian says, “Homosexuality is wrong,” our post-truth culture hears, “I don’t like gays.” Since objective truth doesn’t exist in their minds, “Homosexuality is wrong” isn’t an objective truth claim. It’s personal belief, opinion, or truth—and an intolerant, oppressive one in their view—that’s based on emotion. So it translates in their minds to “I hate gays.”

What Happens When Man Determines Truth?

So in our post-truth culture, man determines truth. Man makes himself the ultimate authority. This starting point, which rejects God’s Word and the idea of moral absolutes, makes truth subjective. Does this work?

Let’s think about this. If my truth is different from your truth, then you can’t tell me what to do any more than I can tell you what to do. If I believe homosexuality is wrong, who are you to tell me it isn’t? I have my opinion, and you have yours. For that matter, if stealing your wallet is right for me, you can’t tell me it’s wrong. Because, in this view, it’s not wrong; it’s just not right for you. Such a concept of moral truth simply cannot work in any society. Someone ends up deciding truth, and usually it’s those with the most power or money. As the adage goes in such a situation, “Might makes right.”

Christians and Objective Truth

The Christian’s worldview should be completely opposed to this post-truth mindset. Christianity is grounded in objective truth. “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:32).

Objective truth exists because we have God’s Word. In the Gospel of John, Jesus says, “Sanctify them by Your truth. Thy word is truth” (John 17:17), and Paul and James describe the Bible as “the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15; James 1:18). The Psalmist says, “The entirety of your word is truth” (Psalm 119:160). Jesus Himself said, “For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice” (John 18:37).

When Jesus said, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by me” (John 14:6), He wasn’t expressing His personal belief or opinion. He was speaking the truth, a fundamental reality that doesn’t change from person to person. It doesn’t matter if our culture thinks all roads lead to God. The truth of the matter is “no one comes to the Father but by [Jesus].”

It doesn’t matter if our culture has embraced homosexuality. The truth is that God created marriage to be between a man and a woman (Genesis 2:22, 24) and homosexual behavior is sinful (1 Corinthians 6:9). We don’t believe that homosexuality is wrong because we don’t like people who exhibit homosexual behavior. Homosexuality is wrong whether or not anyone says it is because it’s an objective truth from God’s Word.

As Christians, our starting point is God’s Word, not man’s opinion. We have an unchanging foundation on which to ground our truth claims. We can say things are objectively right and wrong because the Word of the Creator of the universe says so. In this view, man isn’t the authority—God is.

Should Emotions Be Our Guide?

Being guided by our emotions is foolish. The Bible tells us,

The heart is deceitful above all things,
And desperately wicked;
Who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)

In biblical terminology the heart is the seat of the emotions. We should not trust something that is deceitful and wicked. Instead, we need to be guided by and live in the truth:

Let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. (1 John 3:18)

God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:24)

For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to hear that my children walk in truth. (3 John 3–4)

Because of the truth which abides in us and will be with us forever. (2 John 2)

The church should be so characterized by truth that we are actually called “the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15). Rather than letting emotions determine what we believe, we need to embrace and live out the truth.

Renew Your Mind in Truth

As always, a biblical worldview stands in sharp contrast to our culture’s thinking. Don’t get caught in post-truth thinking. Daily renew your mind by immersing yourself in truth through reading, memorizing, and meditating on God’s Word.

Lead me in Your truth and teach me,
For You are the God of my salvation;
On You I wait all the day. (Psalm 25:5)

There’s No Time to Change Your Mind – Insightful Scribe AKA Ally Tower.

In the past week, I attended two funerals, the first of which was for my beloved godfather. He was 85 years old and so his passing was somewhat expected. He was a decorated Police Lieutenant who served the community for over 30 years.  We heard many kind words from fellow officers who had the pleasure, as they said, to work alongside of him. To me, I remember him as a calm and collected man of faith.  The minister who presided over the funeral concluded with a challenging quote upon dismissal, “Sing like No One Is Listening, Dance like No One Is Watching, and Love like you’ve Never Been Hurt.” I pondered the concept of a first love before betrayal, before the loss of trust or emotional pain is ever experienced… such as how the innocent love of a child, reminds me of the Father’s love for us.

     In recent years, it seems funerals have become a gathering place for relatives that you hope to see again before the next funeral, but seldom do. This funeral was no exception and as I spoke with one of my cousins, she shared how her son was in a disturbing relationship with a mysterious woman who also seemed a bit rough around the edges. I felt this sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach, as if something wasn’t quite right. Who would have known that he would take his last breath the very next day after the funeral of my godfather? Sadly, he was only 29 years old.

     Today I attended his funeral, but these circumstances were due to an untimely and unexpected death which left many unanswered questions. My heart grieved for my cousin’s loss. Remembering the words shared at my godfather’s funeral, I questioned how a mother could love like she has never been hurt… when the hurt runs so deep, like the devastation in losing a child? I hadn’t seen him in recent years, yet fondly remember him during his youth at family birthday parties and picnics. We weren’t Facebook friends but after learning of his possible anarchist views, I decided to check out his page.

      He was no longer the little boy I remembered and my heart was heavy when I noticed the satanic tattoos of an upside down pentacle and the leviathan cross on his arm. If there was ever a time when you wish someone had a day to do over, this was it. What happened, became more than just a question of his physical fate… it became a deep spiritual concern. Ironically… his funeral fell on Friday the 13th, and as many shared, probably a date he would find amusing. And yet even more ironic was that the priest, who presided at the funeral had confirmed his entry into eternal rest in heaven due to his infant baptism. But honestly, I sadly was not so convinced.

What I am certain of is that God is a just God, despite the uncertainty of the fate of my cousin’s son.  Our Heavenly Father is full of love and mercy despite one’s outward appearance and I know only He knows what’s truly inside a person’s heart and I can only hope that somewhere in this young man’s heart he had left room for Jesus.  I’ve always been one to speak of God’s grace, love and mercy and frowned upon fire and brimstone preaching but I honestly found myself rethinking how we share the good news of God’s love. I understand the urgency of sharing the gospel message and the reality that despite one’s age… tomorrow is not guaranteed.  Far better would it be to have the assurance of one’s salvation rather than to simply hope for it.

     How does this impact the way we minister at Ex-witch Exodus? It certainly calls for examination and much prayer yet I’m not convinced that a “get saved now or spend eternity in hell” message would move the heart of the spiritual blind, or that a relationship based on fear would be long-lasting.  If you’re reading this and you doubt or lack faith in God, I appeal to you to open your heart and mind and… give God a chance.  This is not an ultimatum, a get right or face eternal damnation message but a heart-felt plea “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away” (James 4:14). Evidence reveals that tomorrow is not a given and the decisions you make today can really be the most important you’ve made in your entire lifetime and beyond.  The body may turn to dust but the spirit lives on.

♫ Laura’s Radio Guest: Ex Reiki Master Rachel Kelly’s Dramatic Encounter with God!

Rachel Kelly taught reiki. As a Reiki Master she channeled spirit guides to produce healing in clients.

Rachel and Shawn Kelly

Rachel and Shawn Kelly

As a truth seeker, she taught reiki and was also involved in shamanism and a range of other new age practises, using eg: meditation, crystals, tarot, palmistry and other forms of divination. She believed in David Icke’s claims we originated from a race of extra-terrestrials known as the Annunaki.

However, spirits she’d channelled began being dishonest and tormented her. So naturally, she began to question all she’d been taught.

She saw that the new age belief system including:  the theory of reaching enlightenment by raising our vibrations had holes and flaws in its rationale. That it was actually a burden and its teachers and followers were always striving to reach it, yet rarely living up to its ideals or morality.

She heard an audible voice she believed to be Jesus and experienced a dramatic revelation from Him. Realising she had been deceived, she opened her faveourite reiki book. It fell open at a page that mentioned Alice Bailey, the famous Luciferian author.

Immediately, Rachel had a divine encounter with Jesus. He showed her her entire life in flashback form. He also gave her a vision of a bible. The very thing she’d scorned and looked down on as a new ager, having believed Christians were very low vibration on the evolutionary spiritual ladder!

In that moment she saw the truth, that all the spiritual teachings she’d followed were lies from Lucifer, AKA Satan himself.

Rachel Kelly hosts a YouTube channel along with her husband entitled Shawn N Rachel Kelly.

Lo Que El Espiritualismo Significa Para Mi Ahora – Laura Maxwell.

Lo Que El Espiritualismo Significa Para Mi Ahora – Laura Maxwell.

Laura Maxwell

Laura Maxwell

Los fenómenos supernaturales me interesaron desde la niñez. Me encantaba leer libros para niños que contuvieran “historias de fantasmas”, o ver programas de televisión sobre “fantasmas.” Si Harry Potter hubiera sido escrito entonces, estoy segura de que hubiera sido uno de mis favoritos.

Unos pocos episodios psíquicos en mi niñez añadieron a la intriga que sentía. Mi madre también había experimentado acontecimientos desde su niñez, pero no se dedicó en serio a ello hasta más tarde.

Para cuando comencé la escuela secundaria, se sintió lista para experimentar más. Cuando estaba andando los perros por el parque un día, una vidente se acercó, diciéndole a mi madre que la veía como una vidente en potencia y la invitó a una iglesia espiritualista en Glasgow, Escocia, donde vivíamos.

latin-america-homes

Rápidamente mi madre se volvió totalmente absorta por lo supernatural. Como un nuevo miembro de la iglesia espiritualista, atendía los servicios del domingo, a los grupos de desarrollo psíquico a media semana y las clases de Yoga. Compartía conmigo todo lo que aprendía y yo también estaba fascinada. El deseo de su corazón era el entrenar en espiritualismo y las otras videntes la animaron en esto, pidiéndole que se uniera a un Círculo Abierto para aprender a meditar para canalizar “espíritus de los muertos.” Mamá estaba entusiasmada en desarrollar sus habilidades de clarividencia, clariaudiencia y clarisentido y a aprender de las otras videntes.

Cada vez que mamá reservaba una sesión para una Lectura de la Vida con un residente o una vidente que visitaba, compraba la grabación de la sesión y la escuchábamos más tarde ese día. Me maravillaba que grabaciones que solo contenían media hora pudieran tener tanta comunicación de los espíritus. Se relataban ínfimos detalles de nuestra vida. A menudo se daban nombres precisos, sitios y fechas. Era obvio que las videntes no eran charlatanas, sabiendo nombres por pura casualidad. Describían precisamente las apariencias físicas, las personalidades y hasta las frases comúnmente repetidas que nuestros aparentes familiares fallecidos supuestamente decían al conversar con ellos.

También me uní a la iglesia Espiritualista en Glasglow. Mamá y yo devorábamos los libros místicos sobre Yoga, como abrir los chakras, la sanación con cristales, la reencarnación, las terapias alternativas, etc. Atendiendo los Centros de la Nueva Era y las Ferias Psíquicas, absorbimos tanta información como podíamos para ayudar nuestro entendimiento espiritual. Con nuestra pasión para la conservación ambiental y las preocupaciones de conservación, la justicia social y la paz internacional, participábamos contentamente en intentar sanar a la gente y a los animales, por medio del contacto o la sanación psíquica remota.

También leímos libros sobre el pensamiento positivo. Un libro favorito era “El poder del pensamiento positivo” por Norman Vincent Peale, un Masón del Grado 33, que también creía en la clarividencia, declarando que veía a su padre difunto en las reuniones.

latin-america-parrots

Ahondando

Con el tiempo, atendimos sesiones de transfiguración. Mamá se desarrolló en el área de la escritura automática. Las videntes predijeron que me convertiría en un autor de parte de los Guías Espirituales y un Artista Psíquica, pintando retratos de familiares muertos y Guías Espirituales para clientes. Experimenté con la fotografía Kirlian; utilizando luz infrarroja capturé imágenes de ectoplasma al formarse.

En los próximos 10 a 15 años, a menudo oímos de videntes que ya no podían controlar cuando los espíritus les hablaban o por medio de ellos. Muchas videntes tenían ataques de nervios. Algunas atacaban a la gente diciendo que los guías espíritus les habían forzado a hacerlo, o eran admitidos a hospitales psiquiátricos.

Oímos informes de actividad poltergeist en las casas de las videntes. Al principio, aceptamos las explicaciones de que espíritus traviesos o molestos podían a veces entrar y era un riesgo potencial del trabajo. Pero cuando nos ocurrió a nosotros, se volvió difícil tolerarlo y casi imposible funcionar apropiadamente.

Nuestras amistades queridas, las otras psíquicas y videntes, intentaron amablemente, pero fallaron en liberar nuestro hogar de los espíritus. Los espíritus le hablaban a mama continuamente, privándola de dormir, atacándola físicamente, haciendo palmas sonoramente desde dentro de los armarios, cerrando las puertas de golpe, etc.

En una ocasión cuando la forzaron a entrar en un trance en contra de su voluntad, estaba friendo comida. Cuando salió del trance, la cocina estaba consumida en llamas. Llegué a casa un poco después de que los bomberos hubieran extinguido el fuego, justo antes de que se extendiera a otras habitaciones. Nos dimos cuenta que mama, los perros y los gatos podrían haber muerto.

Una tarde, la tía anciana de mi madre que también había visitado las Iglesias espiritualistas, sintió una manos invisibles agarrarla y tirarla escaleras abajo. Se rompió la muñeca. Otro día, al acercarnos a las tiendas, observe en mi horror como mama era levantada del suelo y catapultada desde el suelo, cayendo encima del motor de un coche que pasaba. Este incidente en particular ocurrió más de una vez.

Encuentros infernales

Decidimos retirarnos del espiritualismo y le dijimos a nuestros guías espirituales que se fueran. Para nuestro asombro, se rieron y nos insultaron. Esto nos dejó perplejas, ya que nos habían proveído dirección y amabilidad durante muchos años. Se volvió obvio que nos habían engañado claramente, haciendo ver como que eran benéficos, cuando en realidad eran malvados todo el tiempo.

El mayor asombro vino cuando nuestros supuestos “familiares difuntos” se volvieron en contra de nosotros. Ellos también nos hicieron burla y nos pegaron. Los espíritus nos advirtieron que no podíamos dejar el ocultismo, ya que sin saberlo les habíamos dado control desde el primer día que les habíamos invitado a nuestras vidas. Se volvió claro para mama y para mí que había algo que no estaba bien sobre el espiritualismo, si incluso las videntes que nos habían traído a nuestros “amigos espíritus” no habían discernido su verdadera identidad.

Un encuentro cristiano

Susan, una cristiana que había conocido en un tutorial de psicología, en la Universidad, me invitó a la iglesia Pentecostal, explicando que otras psíquicas que habían experimentado similares tragedias habían sido liberadas de los ataques espirituales cuando aceptaron al Jesucristo bíblico como su Salvador (no el falso Cristo de la Nueva Era). Renuncié el espiritualismo y me hice cristiana.

Una oscura tragedia ocurre

Durante mi segundo año en la Universidad, la salud de mi madre se deterioró y sus “guías espíritus” amenazaron con usarla para matar a gente. El doctor de mi madre no podía aceptar la actividad poltergeist y la diagnosticó como esquizofrénica, mama fue ingresada en un hospital psiquiátrico, para la gran sorpresa de mi madre y de mi misma.

Aunque mi madre le dio su corazón a Jesús unos pocos meses después, la iglesia Pentecostal a la que me había unido no tenía ninguna experiencia en ese tiempo, de ayudar a gente como mamá. En ese tiempo, no tenían un ministerio de liberación. Como una cristiana bebe yo misma, no sabía todavía que había cristianos que podrían haber echado a esos demonios de mi madre en el nombre de Jesús. Después de meses de pesada sedación, los psiquiatras la dieron de alta, pero cuando volvió a casa, sufrió más acoso de los espíritus. Tristemente, la iglesia a la que pertenecía todavía no tenía experiencia en echar demonios fuera de los hogares o de la gente. Así que, tristemente, mi madre se suicide.

Aunque no es raro que alguien haga eso…a lo largo de los últimos 17 años he oído de muchos alrededor del mundo, afectados por la Nueva Era o el Ocultismo que han estado en hospitales psiquiátricos o se han matado a sí mismos. Por lo tanto, siento que enfatiza la importancia crucial para los cristianos de aceptar el ministerio de liberación, y que sean instrumentos de Dios para traer libertad a tales personas torturadas en el nombre de Jesús. (A lo largo de los años como una cristiana, he sido honrada y he estado contenta de ser utilizada por el Espíritu Santo para ver a gente y hogares siendo liberados del acoso demoniaco y la actividad tipo poltergeist, etc.). “Mayor es el que está en vosotros (Jesús) que el que está en el mundo (Satanás).”

¡Mis cadenas han desaparecido!

Más tarde, otro pastor más experimentado en la oración de liberación y en echar demonios y el co-pastor, visitó el hogar de mi madre, purificándolo con éxito la primerísima vez que oraron.

En el nombre de Jesús, todos los espíritus huyeron y nunca volvieron. Más tarde, vendí la casa de mama sin preocuparme de que los nuevos residentes fueron acosados.

La iglesia pentecostal que atiendo no retrata las tradiciones religiosas muertas, sino que era vivaz, cariñosa y alegre. Los miembros eran entrenados por el Espíritu Santo para profetizar sobre el futuro, los cuerpos eran sanados y otros milagros, señales y maravillas ocurrían. De hecho, hace un par de años vi a más gente sanada en las Iglesias pentecostales de lo que jamás había visto en los diez años en las iglesias espiritualistas.

El engaño expuesto

Cuando me volví Cristiana, incluso antes de haber leído las advertencias bíblicas en cuanto al ocultismo en Deuteronomio capítulo 18, instintivamente me di cuenta de lo que había ocurrido.

La pieza del rompecabezas que faltaba encajó en su sitio. Cuando nuestros familiares difuntos y los guías espíritus comenzaron a atacarnos a mama y a mí, indicaba que de hecho eran espíritus malvados que nos habían engañado, meramente suplantando a nuestros seres queridos.

Tenía un sentido completo cuando los cristianos explicaron que es imposible que las almas muertas vuelvan para hablar con nosotros, ya que permanecen en el cielo o en el infierno para la eternidad.

Así mismo, los espíritus malvados son “ángeles caídos”. Han existido desde la creación, poseyendo conocimiento psíquico de nuestras familias y figuras históricas a través de las generaciones.

Pueden fácilmente disfrazar su forma malvada para hacerse pasar por nuestros “familiares difuntos”, e imitar “guías espíritus” o cualquier persona famosa que haya jamás vivido.

La biblia dice que las entidades que obran por medio de las brujas, las videntes, los caza fantasmas, etc. son llamados “espíritus familiares” ya que son psíquicos y muy familiares con que aspecto y como hablaban nuestros antepasados. Por lo tanto, estas entidades pueden suplantarlos perfectamente. La palabra hebrea para espíritu familiar de hecho significa “demonio” o espíritu malvado.

Esto fue confirmado al leer en 2ª Corintios 11:14: “Y esto no es sorprendente, porque el mismo Satanás se disfraza de ángel de luz. Así que, no es extraño si también sus ministros se disfrazan de ministros de justicia; cuyo fin será conforme a sus obras.” Los espíritus malvados obrando por medio del espiritualismo, sirven a Satanás en engañar a gente preciosa a creer que son sus familiares muertos y espíritus guías.

¡Esto tiene sentido, porque muchos videntes prominentes incluso declaran que Lucifer es dios y la fuente de todos los poderes psíquicos! (Benjamine Creme, David Spangler, Madam Helena Blavastsky, etc.). Creen que Lucifer es todavía un ángel de luz; dios; el Salvador, y que no cayó y se volvió Satanás, como la biblia declara. Por tanto, el Luciferianismo es una de las raíces de la Nueva Era y el Espiritualismo. Madam Helena Blavatsky, una vidente Luciferiana declarada por sí misma, era llamada la “madre del movimiento de la Nueva Era.”

Antes de dejar el Ocultismo, no estaba al tanto de que la biblia aconseja en 1ª Juan 4:1-3: “Amados, no creáis a todo espíritu, sino probad los espíritus si son de Dios, porque muchos falsos profetas han salido por el mundo. En esto conoced el Espíritu de Dios: todo espíritu que confiesa que Jesucristo ha venido en carne, es de Dios; y todo espíritu que no confiesa que Jesucristo ha venido en carne, no es de Dios; y este es el espíritu del Anticristo…”

Una observación crucial

¡Desde que dejé el espiritualismo y me hice cristiana, nunca he sido contactada por ningún espíritu declarando ser un “familiar difunto” o un espíritu guía! ¡Toda actividad supernatural cesó, cuando supe la verdad, que eran demonios haciéndose pasar por familiares o seres espirituales! ¡Pensarías, si eran ciertamente verdaderos, que todavía estarían intentando “contactarme”!

Por favor vean mi artículo con direcciones sobre como Probar los Espíritus, en mi blog, en la barra de menú en la parte superior de la página. He conocido a personas sin fin alrededor del mundo que tomaron mi consejo y han retado a los llamados guías, fantasmas y otros espíritus, para enseñar su verdadera identidad, en el nombre de Jesús. ¡A menudo estos demonios gritan y revelan su verdadera forma malvada!

spanish-flowers-3

Compartiendo con otros sobre Jesús

Como un espiritualista, había creído que Jesús era solo una fuerza cósmica; parte de la conciencia universal, o un gran sanador psíquico. Desde mi conversión en 1994, he conocido, hablado y leído muchos de los ex-psíquicos, ex-gitanos, ex-videntes, ex-brujas, ex-luciferianos, e incluso ex-satanistas que también descubrieron que las entidades de sus “espíritus guías” o “familiares difuntos” no eran lo que declaraban ser. Estas personas también fueron liberadas del ataque demoniaco después de recibir a Cristo en sus vidas y recibir su liberación y libertad.

Jesús me sanó de temores, fobias y condiciones físicas. Me ha dado júbilo y paz que simplemente nunca supe que existieran. Esta Presencia tan tangible de puro amor es más real que cualquier encuentro poderoso que experimenté dentro del espiritualismo.

Después de compartir la historia de mi vida en iglesias, por la televisión por satélite y la radio, estoy encantada y bendecida de continuar oyendo de gente por todo el mundo, que también han sido salvados del ocultismo – por el poder transformante y poderoso de nuestro amante Jesucristo.

100 year Brazilian family Involvement in Occult – Viewer Feedback and Testimony from Ex Medium Ivani Greppi.

ivani-greppi

Ivani Greppi

For years I’ve been inundated with feedback reports from people worldwide, who have either found Jesus, been set free from evil spirits, healed or blessed in some way through my TV/radio interviews or blog.

I rarely share any of them as it’s impossible to keep up with them all or to choose one. It’s amazing what God does and we give Him all the glory and honour and praise!

Often I encourage them to share their testimonies with others online or radio too and many of them enter ministry. It thrills me when they go into deliverance ministry and see others set free from demons in Jesus mighty name!

*****

I’m sharing Ivani Greppi‘s brief testimony as a representation of the type of feedback I receive. Her family in Brazil had a century of involvement in the occult! A full length testimony from her will be featured here soon!  Ivani’s friend kindly translated my testimony into Portugese recently and I’m so grateful!

Ivani Greppi

Dear Laura, thank you so much for asking for my testimony! Only recently have I publicly spoken about my past in the occult. I was saved in 1997.

Thank you so much Laura for your powerful testimony and ministry in exposing Satan’s lies in the occult. Eighteen years ago I was delivered from the demonic lie of being a medium. Everything you expose on your programs contain God’s truth. Before finding your site, I was not comfortable openly discussing my past beliefs.

Spiritism was part of my family for generations in Brazil. Your ministry is so powerful and your message so necessary. Your testimony is amazing! So many similarities to my own testimony, the attacks you and your mother suffered were horrific. I was deceived up to the point of my delivery. And as soon as I accepted Christ, Satan had no more power over us. But like you, before we turned away from the occult, we always searched for help from demonic forces unwittingly.

I have lots of online friends who only speak Portuguese and will benefit from your amazing testimony. So I am delighted my friend translated it into Portugese  for your blog. Brazil’s culture is completely immersed in the occult. Your testimony will make a great impact in other cultures. It’s amazing how your experiences regarding spiritism are so similar to what is practiced in Brazil!

A missionary pastor bold in the Lord witnessed to us Jesus Christ’s truth and salvation. It was a battle for me to accept Christ into my life. The demon that possessed me manifested as a spirit guide since childhood. It took prayers and fasting to deliver me from the dark evil that controlled me.

Our family business is called Redeemer Printing and openly gives glory to God for everything. It’s like a ministry. We were introduced to Christ at the printing shop where a missionary pastor from Brazil came to get business cards in 1997. He performed my deliverance! Before that, the business was called Pyramid Printing. The Lord led this pastor there to bring us to Christ!

I listen to your programs and read your blog posts. Love pastor  Mark Hunnemann‘s teachings. Through your ministry, I have met Mark  and found the courage to openly discuss my involvement in the occult. I’ve contacted him after listening to your interviews with him. Thank you for your ministry. God bless you always. The world needs faithful people like you and Mark Hunnemann to expose the lies of the occult.

I’m listening to your programs on the Kev Baker Show and the information is chilling. As a former medium, I know these topics all come together under Satan’s deceitfulness for the human race.

When I was newly converted, I watched a series called “They Sold their Souls for Rock and Roll”. It exposes Satan’s influence in the music industry you all discussed.

As far as Reiki, it is the same healing energy techniques that I grew up with in Brazil! The overt paranormal teachings, like a tsunami is taking over the world. Check out this website U.S. Spiritist Medical Association that promotes this teaching to medical professionals:

http://www.sma-us.org/

u-s-spiritist-medical-association

Praying for the few discerning Christians like Mark Hunnemann yourself to continue to expose these demonic lies through the Holy Spirit’s power.

God bless and protect you as you continue in this fight against this spiritual holocaust slaughtering so many souls to damnation. God bless you all on your ministry exposing the demonic forces and lies in occult practices, influencing not only the mainstream culture, but sadly the church as well.

Praying for you and your ministry everyday. Thank you. Ephesians 6:10

I am looking forward to sending you my full testimony.

Love Ivani  💞

*******

I love how God uses us to mutually help each other! Ivani arranged for my testimony  to be translated it into Portugese for my blog. I plan to upload a spoken version of it to YouTube where hopefully many Portugese speaking people will be touched by God. Hallelujah!

My work has also been translated into other languages, eg, Croatian, Dutch, Finnish, and Hindi, for TV or articles in books, magazines and blogs. See link.

O TESTEMUNHO DE LAURA MAXWELL 

Escrito por Magda Bizinha

O Que O Espiritismo Da Nova Era Significa Para Mim Agora.

A partir de 2008 , tenho sido muito previlégiada em compartilhar minha história regularmente em programas de radio e TV por satellite mundialmente, ou em livros e revistas . Tambem apresento um programa de entrevistas semanais no Eternal Radio: ”O Sobrenatural com Laura Maxwell.”  http://www.eternalradio.org.uk/Radio-Shows/The-Supernatural/  

Aqui Está A Minha História Veridica.

 

Fenômenos sobrenaturais me interessaram desde a minha infância . Eu adorava ler livros infantis contendo histórias de fantasmas , ou assistindo programas de TV sobre fantasmas . Se Harry Potter tivesse sido escrito naquela época , tenho certeza que seria um dos meus favoritos.

 

Alguns episódios psíquicos desde minha infancia ,aumentaram o interesse que eu sentia . O tio de minha mãe liderava uma Igreja Espiritual e tambem participava em alto niveis de maçonaria . Mamãe tambem tinha experimentado eventos psíquicos desde a sua infancia , mas sem segui-los sériamente até mais tarde . Quando comecei a escola secundária , ela se sentiu pronta para explorar . Certa vez , quando caminhava com seus cachorros no parque , um medium se aproximou . Ele viu potencial nela como medium e convidou-a para uma Igreja Espiritualista local na Escócia , na Grã-Bretanha .

 

Muito rapidamente , mamãe ficou totalmente absorvida pelo sobrenatural . Como um novo membro da Igreja Espiritualista , ela participou de serviços de domingo, grupos de desenvolvimento psíquico no meio da semana , aulas de Yoga , etc. Ela compartilhou tudo o que aprendeu comigo . Eu tambem fiquei fascinada . O desejo do seu coração era treinar em mediunidade . Os outros médiuns encorajavam isso , pedindo-lhe que se juntasse a um Círculo Aberto e meditasse com eles para receber “espiritos desencarnados”. Mamãe estava interessada em desenvolver suas habilidades de clarividência, clariaudiência e clarisenciência, e aprender com outros médiuns .

Toda vez que mamãe reservava uma sessão privada para uma Leitura da Vida com um residente ou um medium visitante, comprava uma gravação da sessão e nós a escutávamos depois. Surpreendia-me que uma gravação de meia hora pudesse conter tanta comunicação explícita de supostos espíritos . Fatos específicos eram retransmitidos sobre nossas vidas , em minuciosos detalhes . Nomes precisos , lugares e datas foram dadas muitas vezes . Era óbvio que os mediuns não eram charlatães , arriscando nomes na sorte . Eles descreviam com precisão a aparência física , personalidades e até repetidas frases comuns de nossos parentes aparentemente mortos , enquanto conversavam com entidades espirituais .

 

Eu tambem me juntei a Igreja Espiritualista em Glasgow . Mamãe e eu devoravamos livros místicos sobre Yoga, abrindo os Chakras, Cristais para Cura, Reencarnação , Terapias Alternativas, etc. Atendendo Centros da Nova Era e Exposições Psíquicas, absorvemos tanta informação quanto pudemos para ajudar em nossa “iluminação espiritual”. Com nossa paixão por preocupações de conservação ambientais, justiça social e paz internacional , participamos com prazer na tentativa de curar pessoas e animais , através de contato ou cura psíquica distante.

 

Tambem liamos livros sobre o pensamento positivo. Um favorito era, “O Poder do Pensamento Positivo”, por Norman Vincent Peale, um Maçonico de Grau 33 (Grau Filosófico e Orden de Sabedoria mais alta do Rito Escoces), que tamben acreditava na clarividência, alegando ver seu falecido pai durante reuniões.

 

Indo mais Profundo.

 

Eventualmente, participamos das Sessões de Transfiguração . Mamãe desenvolveu na área de Psicografia. Médiuns preveram que eu me tornaria uma autora em nome de Guias Espirituais e uma artista espírita, desenhando retratos de “parentes mortos e guias espirituais” para clientes. Eu experimentei muito brevemente com Fotografia Kirlian, usando filme infravermelho eu captei imagens de ectoplasma quando formava.

 

Durante os próximos 10 a 15 anos , muitas vezes ouvimos falar de mediuns que não podiam mais controlar quando os espiritos falavam através deles . Muitos mediuns tiveram crises nervosas. Alguns atacaram pessoas alegando que seus Guias Espirituais os tinham forçado, e foram levados para enfermarias psiquiátricas .

 

Ouvimos relatos de “atividades de espiritos Poltergeist” em casas de mediuns . Em primeiro , aceitamos explicações que espiritos travessos ou desagradáveis poderia aparecer e que era um risco do trabalho . Mas quando isso aconteceu conosco , tornou-se intolerável e impossível funcionar adequadamente.

 

Nossos amados amigos, os outros mediuns, gentilmente tentaram , mas não conseguiram livrar nossa casa dos espíritos. Os espíritos falavam com mamãe constantemente, não lhe dando descanso, privando-a do sono, atacando-a fisicamente, batendo palmas alto de dentro de armários, cerrando todas as portas com força, etc.

 

Em uma das ocasiões em que a forçaram a entrar em transe contra sua vontade, ela estava na cozinha fritando comida. Quando ela saiu do transe, a cozinha estava consumida pelo fogo. Eu cheguei em casa depois que o Corpo de Bombeiros tinha apagado o fogo, pouco antes que se espalhasse por toda a casa. Todos nós entendemos que mamãe, nossos cães e gatos poderiam ter sido mortos. Certa tarde, uma tia idosa de mamãe que tambem visitava as igrejas espiritualistas, sentiu mãos invisíveis agarra-la e joga-la pelas escadas. Seu pulso foi quebrado. Outro dia, enquanto aproximavamos de lojas, eu assisti com horror quando mamãe foi elevada do chão e lançada da calçada, caindo em cima do capô de um carro que passava. Esse tipo de incidente aconteceu mais de uma vez .

 

Encontros Infernais.

 

Naturalmente, decidimos nos retirar do Espiritismo e pedimos gentilmente que nossos “Guias Espirituais” saissem. Para nosso choque, eles riram e insultaram-nos. Eles começaram a nos atacar fisicamente.  Isso era profundamente desconcertante, já que eles tinham fornecido orientação e bondade por muitos anos! Tornou-se óbvio que eles claramente nos enganaram, fingindo ser benevolentes, quando na realidade eles eram malvados o tempo todo.

 

Consternou-nos que todos os médiuns espíritas e psíquicos que conhecíamos e amavamos muito, claramente tinham sido enganados tambem . Afinal , foram eles que nos apresentaram a esses espíritos. Eles tambem assumiram que tais “Guias Espirituais” e “amigos” eram genuínos .

 

No entanto, o maior choque veio quando até mesmo os nossos supostamente parentes mortos viraram contra nós tambem! Eles tambem zombaram e nos atingiram. Os espiritos advertiram que não poderiamos deixar o ocultismo, como tinhamos concedido inconcientemente o controle desde o primeiro dia que convidamos eles em nossas vidas. Ficou claro para mamãe e pra mim que havia algo perigoso e enganador no espiritismo e nas formas de comunicação espiritual , se até os médiuns que nos trouxeram nossos “amigos espirituais falsos” não tivessem discernido sua verdadeira identidade espiritual .

 

Um Encontro Cristão.

 

E conhecereis a verdade, e a verdade vos libertará.  João 8:32

Susan, uma Cristã que eu conheci em um Tutorial de Psicologia na universidade, me convidou para ir a sua Igreja Pentecostal. Ela explicou que outros psíquicos que tinham experimentado tragédias semelhantes foram libertados de ataques espirituais quando aceitaram o Jesus Cristo Bíblico como seu Salvador, (não o falso Cristo da Nova Era).

 

Eu senti uma atmosfera e presença em sua igreja que eu nunca tinha sentido, e senti desejo por isso. Quando eles oraram por cura e falaram em linguas, senti instantaneamente que eles tinham um poder sobrenatural, mas eu não tinha certeza do que era! Para mim, Jesus era apenas um Curandeiro e Mèdium .

 

Naquela noite quando voltei para casa, os espíritos estavam furiosos por eu ter visitado a Igreja Pentecostal. Eu tinha certeza de que eles tentariam me matar. (Para saber mais sobre aqueles dias, por favor assista minhas entrevistas na TV!)

 

Eu gritei para Deus em puro desespero. Eu perguntei se Ele fosse real, para me falar através de uma Biblia que encontrei.  Eu tive uma revelação divina que a Biblia era totalmente verdadeira, assim renunciando ao espiritismo vim a Jesus Cristo de Nazaré. Recebi-o como meu Salvador e pedi a Ele que me purificasse de todo pecado. Finalmente eu vi a luz. Eu tinha encontrado a verdade. Eu tinha encontrado o próprio amor! E para minha propria surpresa, eu me tornara uma Cristã, coisa que eu pensava que nunca faria! Nunca diga nunca gente!

 

Na manhã seguinte, uma cigana Romani apareceu na minha porta. Eu estava pensando nela por horas e agora aí estava! Ela disse que tinha nascido de novo e que Jesus a tinha enviado para me dizer que eu estava no caminho certo! Eu comecei a frequentar a igreja que eu tinha acabado de visitar.

 

Uma Tragèdia Mais Escura Ataca.

 

Poucos meses depois, durante o meu segundo ano na universidade, a saúde de minha mãe se deteriorou e seus guias espirituais se tornaram mais violentos e até ameaçaram controlá-la e usá-la para matar pessoas. O medico de mamãe não pôde aceitar atividades espirituais e infelizmente diagnosticou como Esquizofrênica. Mamãe foi detida em um Hospital Psiquiátrico, para o choque absoluto de mim e minha mãe.

 

Embora minha mãe tenha dado seu coração a Jesus alguns meses depois, a igreja Pentecostal que eu tinha aderido não tinha experiencia naquele momento para ajudar pessoas como minha mãe. Naquela época, eles não tinham o Ministério de Libertação. Como uma bebê Cristã, eu ainda não sabia que havia Cristãos que poderiam ter lançado esses demonios fora de minha mãe em nome de Jesus. Depois de meses de forte sedação, os psiquiatras deram alta, mas quando ela foi para casa, ela sofreu mais assédio de espiritos. Infelizmente, a igreja que eu pertencia ainda não tinha experiencia de expulsar demonios de casas ou pessoas.

Meu Pastor era jovem e inexperiente. Ele achou que mamãe e eu tínhamos muita imaginação ou estavamos mentalmente doentes. Então não recebemos nenhuma ajuda. Para meu completo choque e consternação, minha mãe cometeu suicídio.

 

Embora não seja raro pessoas fazerem o mesmo….ao longo das ultimas duas décadas tenho ouvido falar de muitos ao redor do mundo, afetados pela Nova Era ou ocultismo que foram para enfermarias psiquiátricas ou se mataram. Portanto, sinto que devo enfatizar a importância crucial para os Cristãos abraçarem o Ministério de Libertação, mais comumente conhecido como Exorcismo, e tornar-se instrumentos de Deus para libertar a tais pessoas torturadas em nome de Jesus.

 

(Ao longo anos como Cristã, tenho sido honrada e deleitada que o Espirito Santo usou-me para ver pessoas e casas serem libertadas de assédio demoníaco, atividades espirituais, etc.)  “Maior é Ele ( Jesus ) que está em voce; do que ele (satanás ) que está no mundo!

 

Minhas Correntes Foram Quebradas!

 

Logo depois , encontrei outra igreja Pentecostal. Eles eram experientes na oração de Libertação –expulsando os demonios. O co-Pastor, visitou a casa da minha mãe, limpando-a com êxito na primeira vez que oraram no Nome de Jesus de Nazaré, todos os espíritos partiram e nunca voltaram. Glória a Deus! Mais tarde, vendi a casa de mamãe sem me preocupar que os novos donos fossem assediados.

 

A Igreja Pentecostal que eu frequento, não serve a tradições religiosas mortas ou de controle. Em vez disso, é animada, amorosa e alegre . Os membros são treinados pelo Espírito Santo para profetizar futuro. Mentes e corpos são curados e outros milagres sinais e maravilhas ocorrem. Na verdade, em um par de anos eu vi mais pessoas curadas em Igrejas Pentecostais do que eu já vi em mais de dez anos em reuniões espíritas.

 

Decepção Exposta.

 

Quando me tornei Cristã, mesmo antes de ler as advertencias Bíblicas do ocultismo no capítulo 18 de Deuteronômio, de repente vi a verdade. Instintivamente, percebi o que tinha acontecido. A parte perdida do quebra cabeça deslizou para o lugar. Quando nossos “parentes mortos e guias espirituais” começaram a nos atacar, mostrou que aqueles espíritos mentirosos nos haviam enganado, simplesmente imitando nossos entes queridos. Fazia sentido completo quando Cristãos explicavam a partir da Biblia, é impossivel para as almas mortas voltar a conversar conosco, eles permanecem no céu ou no inferno para a eternidade .

 

Além disso, a Bíblia descreve espíritos como “anjos malvados caidos” ou demonios. Eles já existiam desde antes da criação. Eles possuem vasto conhecimento psíquico de nossas familias e figuras históricas ao longo das gerações. Como “transformadores de formas (shape shifters)” de filmes, eles podem facilmente disfarçar sua forma perversa para representar a nossa “familia falecida”,  para imitar “guias espirituais”, ou qualquer celebridade famosa que já existiu. Com seus poderes sobrenaturais eles podem realizar muitos falsos milagres. Através da hipnose, etc., eles podem até mesmo produzir falsas visões de suas “vidas anteriores”.

 

Eles são mestres do disfarce. A Biblia diz que as entidades que trabalham através de bruxas, médiuns, caçadores de fantasmas, etc. são chamados de “espiritos familiares”. Eles são psíquicos e muito familiarizados com a forma como todos os seus antepassados pareciam ou falavam, como estavam na terra ao mesmo tempo que eles. Assim, essas entidades podem personificá-las perfeitamente . A palavra hebraica para espíritos familiars realmente traduz como “demonio”, espirito maligno .

 

Isso é enfatizado em passagens como 2 Coríntios 11-14: E não é de admirar pois o próprio Satanás se disfarça como um anjo de luz . Não é de admirar , então , se os seus servos se transformem em ministros da justiça; e o fim deles será conforme as suas obras. Os espíritos malignos que trabalham através do espiritismo, caça fantasmas , etc., são demonios malignos. Eles servem a Satanás para enganar Médiuns preciosos e outros, aparecendo como parentes mortos, guias espirituais, mestres ascensos, deusas, guias de cura Reiki, alienígenas, fadas e assim por diante. ( Por favor, veja meu artigo sobre como “ Testar os espiritos”, ou assista meus programas de TV sobre esse tema crucial.)

 

A natureza falsa dos espiritos faz sentido, porque muitos Médiuns superiores afirmam mesmo que Lúcifer é Deus e a fonte de todos os poderes psíquicos! (Benjamine Crème, David Spangler, Madame Helena Blavatsky, etc.) Eles acreditam que Lúcifer ainda é um anjo de luz, Deus, o Salvador, e que ele não caiu e se tornou Satanás como diz a Biblia. Assim, o luciferianismo é uma das raízes da Nova Era e espiritismo. Madame Helena Blavatsky, uma auto-proclamada Medium luciferiana, foi chamada mãe do movimento da Nova Era. (Por favor, veja meu artigo ou assista meus programas de TV sobre este tópico.)

 

Antes de deixar o ocultismo, eu não sabia que a Biblia aconselha amorosamente em 1 João 4 verso 1-3: Amados, não deis crédito a qualquer espírito; antes, provai os espíritos se procedem de Deus…todo espirito que confessa que Jesus Cristo veio em carne é de Deus, e todo espirito que não confessa que Jesus veio em carne não é de Deus…pelo contrario, este é o espirito do anticristo…

 

Por favor, veja minha nota com instruções sobre como testar espiritos, na barra do menu na parte superior do meu website. Eu conheci inúmeras pessoas que desafiaram guias e outros espiritos, para mostrar sua verdadeira identidade, em Nome de Jesus Cristo. Muitas vezes eles gritam quando revelam sua verdadeira forma perversa.

 

Uma Observação Crucial.

 

Desde que deixei o espiritismo e me tornei Cristã, eu nunca fui contactada por qualquer espirito afirmando ser um “parente morto” ou guia espiritual! Toda essa atividade sobrenatural parou quando eu descobri a verdade, que eles eram demonios personificando seres familiares ou espirituais! Voce pensaria, se eles fossem verdadeiramente reais , eles ainda tentariam entrar em “contato” comigo!

 

Compartilhando Com Outros Sobre Jesus.

 

Quando era Espiritualista, eu considerava Jesus como apenas uma força cósmica, parte da consciência universal, uma reencarnação de outro deus ou um grande Medium Curador. Desde minha conversão em 1994, eu conheci, falei e li sobre muitos ex-psíquicos, ex-ciganos, ex-bruxas, ex-luciferianos e até mesmo satanistas. Todos eles descobriram as entidades de seus “guias espirituais, parentes mortos, ou deusas”, não eram quem eles alegavam ser. Essas pessoas tambem foram libertadas do ataque demoníaco depois de receberem Cristo em suas vidas e recebendo Seu poderoso amor, e exorcismo ou libertação na liberdade espiritual.

 

Jesus Cristo curou-me de uma fobia de alturas e condições físicas, incluindo Fibromialgia e enxaquecas. Ele me deu alegria e paz que eu simplesmente nunca soube que existia. Sua presença muito tangível de amor puro é mais real do que qualquer encontro poderoso que eu experimentei no espiritismo, na Nova Era ou em práticas místicas . Eu sou eternamente grata a Ele por transformar minha vida e eu lhe dou toda a gloria…

 

Se voce sentir em seu coração de orar pelo Ministério de Laura, ou para o público que a ouve falar, seria muito apreciado.

Muito obrigada! Deus te abençõe. Laura Maxwell .

FREE Download! Two chapters of novel SEED: Genesis Immortals by David Harrison.

By David Harrison

By David Harrison

A team of divers and archaeologists off the coast of ancient Alexandria, Egypt have made a discovery that could change the world or destroy their own. Worlds long locked in ancient stone will come alive as the story of our origins unfolds in new and unexpected ways.

SEED: Genesis Immortals takes you into the world before the cataclysm where the first humans are clothed in light, walking with their embodied Creator and joining his family of supernatural beings. Immortality is within a fingers reach and the shining one tempts us all to declare our own words as truth.
