I've come across a website that has horrified and disturbed both my wife and I. It's not an ungodly website, but in fact, a very godly one. It is an expose on pop culture movies and bands. You will see how Satan has worked and advanced his agenda in the popular culture, and through many people you love and appreciate, and in some cases, nearly worship (U2, Beach Boys, Elvis Pressley, Transformers, etc.)! But I warn you before you look into it. It's really disturbing and unreal!
It makes so much sense! But I've been so blind! I just looked up something about Jerry Lee Lewis (yes, he's featured on there), and on his page in Wikipedia, it says:
His mother enrolled him in Southwestern Assemblies of God University in Waxahachie, Texas, secure in the knowledge that her son would now be exclusively singing his songs to the Lord. But Lewis daringly played a boogie woogie rendition of "My God Is Real" at a church assembly that sent him packing the same night. Pearry Green, then president of the student body, related how during a talent show Lewis played some "worldly" music. The next morning, the dean of the school called both Lewis and Green into his office to expel them both. Lewis said that Green shouldn't be expelled because "he didn't know what I was going to do." Years later Green asked Lewis: "Are you still playing the devil's music?" Lewis replied "Yes, I am. But you know it's strange, the same music that they kicked me out of school for is the same kind of music they play in their churches today. The difference is, I know I am playing for the devil and they don't" [emphasis mine].
Go in God's graces,
Go to http://theater.goodfight.org.
p.s. try to alert all you know in Christ about this! And try to snatch sinners from the fire!

The Night of the Demons and the Power of Prayer
When I lived in Slovakia, serving with Campus Crusade for Christ, we knew reching out to students that we were on the front lines of spiritual battle as we sought to reach out to university students to win their souls from the grasp of the evil one, and bring them to Christ through the gospel. One day, I think I was in my apartment, I heard over the radio and advertisement for a concert coming up for Halloween. It was called ‘Night of the Demons.’ Many theologians and pastors believe the devil was over music in heaven before being cast out as Satan. And Slovakia is a Catholic nation, so they were traces of Biblical themes around the city. The people there are typically quite and reserved. So to have something an event take place called ‘Night of the Demons’ was very shocking and disturbing.
I remember hearing about this advertisement of this concert, and what was going to take place at this debut of godless bands. They were going to have women come out and parade across the stage naked! I remember hearing this ad, and thought, “I’ve got to tell my team so we can pray!” The Lord moved on my heart to pray fervently against this event. The city also had evangelical believers, which when they learned of the event, they too united in prayer against this event, across denominational lines. I notified my team about this, and they too joined in praying.
We knew these two Christian English musicians who were living and ministering in the country, that we had befriended. The Night of the Concert came about, and these two chaps went down to perform, to be a light in the midst of the darkness. They told us about the scene. The stage had been set up, and through the afternoon and evening, the bands arrived by train. But not one person showed up to hear the performance! NOT ONE!!! The bands were very angry that they had spent all this money traveling to this location, and weren’t able to recoup on the cost and make a profit. They were going to hurt the woman who had scheduled and arranged the concert logistically. They came after her, and James and Michael, our British brothers in Christ, grabbed this woman and threw her in their car, and they drove her safely away.
What a testimony to the power of prayer! What a magnificent way for God to show His strength, glory and goodness when His people unite together to pray according to His purpose. How is your prayer life doing today? Do you need some encouragement spending time in prayer with the Lord. Satan doesn’t want us to prayer, and many times our flesh doesn’t want to do it either. But Satan cannot stand against the prayers of the saints. “Stronger is he who is in us than he who is in the world” (1 Jn. 4:4).
14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. 15 And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. 1 John 5:14-15

Contemplative Spirituality/Emergent Church
Hey everyone, sorry I've been gone so long. I had to fill in for the senior pastor one week, and then I seemed to become absorbed into what is happening to the the North American church. And really, this has been going on for some time, and I've even posted on some of it. It seems there is a huge move of mysticism infiltrating the church in the name of "contemplative prayer." This practice was carried out by the 'Desert Fathers' in the early middle ages, but derives its source and main practice from Eastern Religions. This contemplative prayer is Christian terminology for what the Hindus call Transcendental Meditation or TM. It has also been toyed with in the Church in the name of "Christian Yoga," which I hear is on the website for Barrack Obama's former Church under church ministries!
Lighthouse Trails publishing company includes this definition of Contmplative Prayer or Spirituality on their site:
Contemplative Spirituality: A belief system that uses ancient mystical practices to induce altered states of consciousness (the silence) and is rooted in mysticism and the occult but often wrapped in Christian terminology. The premise of contemplative spirituality is pantheistic (God is all) and panentheistic (God is in all). Common terms used for this movement are "spiritual formation," "the silence," "the stillness," "ancient-wisdom," "spiritual disciplines," and many others.
To see instructions on how to go about it, see the website for the International House of Prayer: http://www.ihop.org/Publisher/Article.aspx?id=1000000385
Now I don't know about you, but I don't have to meditate for 20 minutes to find the presence of God, I just bow my head in prayer, and I'm in His presence by the substitutionary work my Savior did for me on the cross, which covers my sin and gives ME His righteousness through faith!
What is shocking is the rate at which all this is occurring and being accepted! When looking at the list of Chrisitans now promoting this New Age/Mystical movement in the Church, my wife started crying! "It seems like everyone is falling!" she said. Indeed, it's quite disturbing. And maybe you know of this movement, or have picked up on it. I was shocked how many books I had from people who are now part of this movement. Chances are, if you've read Rick Warren's Purpose Driven Life, you've been touched by it.
Let's see who some of these people are: John Ortberg, Erwin McManus, J. P. Moreland, Dallas Willard, Brennan Manning , Henri Nouwen , Philip Yancey, John Eldredge, Gary Thomas, Richard Foster (Celebration of Discipline and Prayer: Finding the Heart's True Home); Bill Hybels, Brother Lawrence, Larry Crabb, Lance Witt, Max Lucado, H.B. London , Erik Reese, Donald Miller , Eugene Peterson, Michael Casey .
If you're anything like me, you're in a bit of shock right at the moment! I own books by several of these people, books I really liked! Wow. This list of names is from the Saddleback church's library of works that contain "strong contemplative propensities." All of these people are aligning themsevles with the contemplative prayer movement that is taking our churches by storm. I got this list of names at Lighthouse Trail's newest newsletter, http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/newsletter061608.htm#LETTER.BLOCK11
As if this isn't enough, the emerging church, the 30s something church, is focusing more on a social/marxist/Kingdom Now theology, and not emphasizing the substitutionary death of Christ for the payment of our sins. It's as if they think Jesus was a good example to follow for a better life here and now. Nevermind the fact that you've sinned and grieved a holy, infinite, omnipotent and just God, of whom scriptures say, "It's a terrible thing to fall into the hands of the living God!" (Heb. 10:31).
You know how a few months back Tony Blair got religion, his wifes religion, Roman Catholicism? Well, in his zeal (and lack of knowledge, Hos. 4:6) he formed an institution aimed at bringing all the religions arm in arm in peace. One stated purpose of this organization of what they will not tolerate is religous groups who are exclusive to other religons (my paraphrase). HELLO??? Southern Baptist? Any Bible Believers out there? Jesus said "I AM the way the truth and the Life, and NO MAN comes to the Father but through ME" (Jn 14:6). For there is salvation in no one else, for there is NO OTHER NAME under heaven given to men by which we must be saved" (Acts 4:12). And guess who sits on the advisory board for this great, ecumenical organization? Rick Warren. Yep. So Warren, and the emergent church leaders (Brian Mclaren, Robb Bell, Shane Clairborne...) are all working to unite world religions (nevermind the exclusivity of the gospel, that's an archaic issue) for the betterment of all mankind. Can anyone say ONE WORLD RELIGION? HELLO!!?
One man went to a conference held by emergent leader Brian Mclaren, and reflecting back on it, had this to say:
I found that the essence of these statements are still proving to be axiomatic after my experience at the “Everything Must Change” conference held at Goshen College in Goshen, Indiana with emergent church leader Brian McLaren. I sat through session after session listening to the emergent “gospel;” complete with medieval chants and choruses of despair, apologies to the Native American Indians of the St. Joseph River Valley, as well as to “Mother Earth” for scarring her through our mining and oil drilling operations. The sarcasm with which traditional Scriptural positions were discussed, coupled with repeated swipes at Christians who were (in McLaren’s opinion) waiting to be “snatched away,” “evacuated,” or “beamed up,” brought one particular Scripture passage constantly to my heart and mind. 2 Peter 3:3-13 captures the essence of the conference:
...
The music was all original and was performed by a very gifted young woman. The tonality was “modal” and a-rhythmic; reminiscent of the “coffee house” styles of the 1960s; a sort of “Hillsong meets Joan Baez” blend. Very prosaic in nature, with quickly spoken recitations over guitar and violin, seven or eight words to every two or three beats; all crying out about our rape of “Mother Earth” and other human rights violations. The thing that stuck out to me was that there was no worship poetry extolling the Glory of God or the beauty of Christ in creation. Everything was directed towards an inward, subjective, and very mystical experience, coupled with a worldview which represented more of the Gospel of “Marx” than of “Mark.” Reflecting back to the opening “worship chorus” inspired by Francis of Assisi; Mr. McLaren stated that in one particular city a man rose from his seat and walked out because the song sounded “New Age.” He then scoffed, “Not New Age, but Middle Age”… a comment that drew delighted laughter from his admiring congregation.
http://herescope.blogspot.com/2008/06/how-everything-must-change.html
His article goes on and is very interesting as it gives us a glimpse into the practice and belief of much of the emergent church. My wife kept telling me, "No, no, I don't want to see this. I want the LORD to return and take us, I don't want to see this happen." I didn't feel very sympathetic as I said "I know, but it was written about in the Bible thousands of years ago that it would happen this way." And in an effort to encourage her, I said, "This should cause us to be encouraged, to look up, because our Lord is soon in returning!" So, for all I could muster, I wasn't very encouraging. And I think it will continue to get worse. All I can say is "lift up your heads, for your redemption is drawing near!" (Lk 21:28).
Amen.

Iran's Supernatural leader?
No, I'm not speaking of A-jad. I'm speaking of a something that A-jad said in a recent speech he was making. I read this on Joel Rosenberg's most recent blog. This is incredible, what this guy is saying. Some Shiites may beleive the 12th Imam is guiding the country, but as Chrisitans we know what spiritual force is guiding this man and this nation.
Ahmadinejad has always been a devotee of the Mahdi, the twelfth imam of Shiite Islam, who Shiites believe disappeared more than a thousand years ago and who will return one day to usher in a new era of peace and harmony. But in a speech to theology students broadcast by state television on Monday, Ahmadinejad went further than ever before in emphasising his belief that the Mahdi is playing a critical role in Iran's day-to-day politics. 'The Imam Mahdi is in charge of the world and we see his hand directing all the affairs of the country,' he said in the speech, which appears to date from last month but has only now been broadcast. 'We must solve Iran's internal problems as quickly as possible. Time is lacking. A movement has started for us to occupy ourselves with our global responsibilities, which are arriving with great speed.' http://joelrosenberg.blogspot.com/
Of course, as Christians we know and understand who is in true control, but I do believe that Ahmadinehad is in contact with a spiritual being who claims to be the 12th Imam, and that is working to steer events to carry out his will (1 Jn 5:19).

Cigar shaped UFO sighting
Cigar-shaped UFO baffles onlookers
Paranormal
Written by Chris Perver
Thursday, 21 February 2008
Well the children's meetings at the Martyrs have been going really well. I have been helping out on the buses bringing the kids to the meetings, and it has been a real blessing to be able to be involved in such a great work. Over 300 kids have been there each night. Last night was a bit of a challenge, as around four boys on our bus just did not want to behave themselves. But I will miss the meetings when they finish. It was also encouraging meeting a few new friends. I haven't been feeling the best this week. I have had sore eyes and a sore throat and head, so I have been glad of this break from updating the website too. But thankfully not much has been happening this week, so you haven't really missed much!
I saw this article this morning, relating to the UFO phenomenon that we have been discussing lately. This not a recent news event, but some of the comments on this sighting do confirm what we have been saying in regards to the end-time deception. In March 1977, a large cigar-shaped object was observed hovering in the skies of Everton, England. The object was sighted by at least half a dozen eye-witnesses, who's accounts are listed in the article. The object was a dull grey colour and bore no discernable features. It's immense size, measuring around 1000 feet to a mile in length, was what took many onlookers by surprise. It's presence was accompanied by a low throbbing sound. It appeared for a short period of time and then seemingly vanished into thin air. One of the eye-witnesses happened to be a medium, who senced something about this object that the others didn't pick up.
Quote: "John Kelly, a medium who lived on West Derby Road, was walking his dog in Newsham Park that day in March, when he felt an overwhelming urge to look directly overhead. He said: "I saw this greyish long craft, at least a thousand feet in length, just stationary in the sky. "The dog began to whimper, and I experienced a tingling sensation in my head. I got the impression that someone in that UFO – or whatever it was – wanted to be seen in the sky. "I felt that there was someone up there with a huge ego, and I felt he had not come from another world, but another dimension, another plane of existence. It dematerialised and not long afterwards and went back to the world it belonged to."
While I don't condone what this man practices, what he has to say is very interesting. For coming into close contact with these demonic spirits through the occult, he may have been able to sense something that the average person cannot. And it seems what he was able to sense was a very powerful presence behind this object in the sky. If Ufology is closely linked with the occult, and if there are demonic spirits that are manifesting themselves in such a manner so as to deceive mankind, then it should be no surprise that he should sense a being with a "huge ego" wanting to be seen in the sky. Of course the Bible states that it was Satan's ego that ultimately caused him to sin and be cast out of God's presence.
Isaiah 14:12-15
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
Jesus Christ said that He beheld Satan as lighting fall from heaven (Luke 10:18). Today Satan and his angels dwell in the first and second heavens (atmosphere, outer space), Ephesians 2:2,6:12. But the day is coming when they will be thrown out of the heavenly places and be cast down to the earth (Revelation 12:12). His lightning descent will not stop there. When Jesus Christ returns to earth to set up His kingdom, Satan will be bound in the sides of the pit for 1000 years (Revelation 20:2), and after that he must be cast into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10). The Bible tells us that the lake of fire was prepared by God for the angels that sinned. Human beings were never meant to be there. But the Bible makes it clear that sinners cannot dwell in God's presence. And so after we die we must go down to the pit, and when the 1000 years are ended, we must also face the judgement (Hebrews 9:27) and the prospect of eternal separation from God. But there is good news. Jesus Christ did not come into the world to condemn it. He came to save sinners (1st Timothy 1:15). He died for you. Recognize that you are a sinner in the sight of a holy God. Repent of your sins which have separated between you and your God. Receive Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31).

But the Bible makes it clear that sinners cannot dwell in God's presence. And so after we die we must go down to the pit, and when the 1000 years are ended, we must also face the judgement (Hebrews 9:27) and the prospect of eternal separation from God. But there is good news. Jesus Christ did not come into the world to condemn it. He came to save sinners (1st Timothy 1:15). He died for you. Recognize that you are a sinner in the sight of a holy God. Repent of your sins which have separated between you and your God. Receive Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved (Acts 16:31).
