WHO IS JOHN CROWER?

John Crowder of the New Mystics

Crowder says, Wales, hosted "Slosh

Fest," a time of experiencing the drunken

bliss of Jesus!

Prior to Sloshie, we ventured to Bristol for

three days of wildfire gatherings. I must

say that the week was a blur. There was

a deep realm of divine ecstasy that opened during the gatherings.Many were equipped and activated in the supernatural, along with

a powerful release of prophetic revelation.

JOHN CROWDER AND THE NEW MYSTICS, SONS OF THUNDER ~ PATRICIA KING

Since these New Age Mystics and their demonic angels claim to be materializing gold, platinum dust and gem

stones and Diamonds, why are they still passing around the begging bucket to fleece Gods people? Why do

they charge to come to their meetings? Mariam Franklins article is an eye-opener.

(Miriam Franklin) writes and excellent article concerning the New Mystics calledCharismatic Gemstones and

Ms. Franklin exposing the fakery of the gold and gem stones writes: This comment was made by Lillian

Ching in the comments section, and I am flagging it up as I know not all people read the comments, and this

is most interesting.

As a custom jeweler, gemologist and rock hound, I have 44 years of experience in identifying rocks,

minerals, crystals, etc; I was myself geology major at Shoreline College. I have also extensively dredged and

panned for gold since 1961. My wife and I operate a custom jewelry business, as well as pastor a non-

denominational Full-Gospel Christian church in Lynnwood, Washington.

While in Baltimore I was given samples from Ashland, VA to identify. To do so, I employed my knowledge of

gold, my geology books, as well as my jewelers double microscope. Under microscope this material is clearly

gold colored Mylar. Mylar, as we know is a man made plastic. The material shows under the microscope as

squares. It is easily recognized as Mylar. I also applied a gold acid test; this also showed this material as not

gold, but synthetic man made material.

There has been much of this Mylar, and other man made materials being passed off as gold in the Christian

arena as a phenomena of God Natural ground Mica is also passed off as gold, but usually in the retail

business. To date, I have had three different individuals bringing me flakes of what they thought were gold

to identify which were obtained in Christian services. One sample was from a church in Washington State(mica). Another sample from a Christian Camp in Ashland, Virginia (Mylar) and this third sample which

was given to me in Maryland, which came from Ashland. None has been gold.

Unfortunately this has not stopped modern day charlatans from passing off this material as God and His

glory to innocent and trusting Christians . . . . ii

GREAT DECEPTION LATTER RAIN SEDUCTION

These New Mystics use biblical words and quote from the Bible, but the Latter Raingospel was not drawn from the

Bible. It was received ''prophetically'' - that is, by men in direct communication with the spirit realm. They then use

symbolism and allegory to draw far-fetched support of their doctrines out of random words or fragments of Bible

verses.

"This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the

Light, for their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light

for fear that his deeds will be exposed. But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds

may be manifested as having been wrought in God." (Jn. 3:19-21).

Great deception is afoot in the churches today, happening right before our very eyes. In fact, it may have already

come to your church. False doctrines, a different gospel, and even doctrines of demons have been introduced intomany churches via books, music, videos, teachers and movements that claim to be of God. Please watch the u tubes

on this site from a wide variety of denominations and authors on the subject of deception in the churchbefore you

encourage anyone from your church to go to meetings where false teachers claim to be able to transfer the Holy

Spirit by the laying on of hands and subsequently soften people up to receive false doctrines which can ultimatelyshipwreck their faith or prevent them from ever coming to salvation in Christ.

Because there will be certain people who have crept in to the House of God, who pervert the gospel once

delivered to the saints And because of this some shall fall away 1Ti 4:1But the Spirit saith expressly, that

in later times some shall fall away from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.

WHAT DOES JOHN CROWDER BELIEVE?

John Crowderis the founder of Sons of Thunder) andhas a heart to equip the Church to move in supernatural

Christianity. Unusual signs follow John's ministry such as

instant weight loss, healings and creative miracles. He is

author of The New Mystics.

The first miracle Jesus ever performed was to turn water

into wine: This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana ofGalilee, and manifested His glory (John 2:11). Come be

refreshed with the new wine of Heaven! This is marital

wine, and Jesus is giving signs in this hour to point us to

the heart of the Bridegroom.

This is the hour to birth a manifestation of Heaven onearth. Jesus said: He who has My commandments and

keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Mewill be loved by My Father, and I will love him and

manifest Myself to him (Jn. 14:21).iv

We have just returned from England and Wales where

we saw first fruits (what kind of fruits is he talking

about?) of a massive explosion of harvest the Lord is

beginning to release on the streets. There was also a

tremendous weight of Glory on the meetings as our European associates, Emerge Wales, hosted Slosh Fest, a

time of experiencing the drunken bliss of Jesus!

WHO IS LUCY RAEL? THE HOLY GOOSE

PARTY

This one is of interest to me because when it happened, the Late

Irene Park, The Witch that Switched and I tried to expose her as afraud. My newsletter circulated in Texas and Oklahoma. While I

Irene went to Pastor John Osteen and told him. My sister witches and

I used to go into the Christian Churches in Key West and faked thestigmata sign. We took chicken livers into the palms of our hands,

squeezed them and dug our finger nails into our palms which caused

them to appear as if they were bleeding. Irene snickered and said,

The people would bow down and worship us like we were gods.

Wed just laugh at them.

Although Irene had ministered many times in John Osteens church,

Lucy Rael Alleged

Stigmata

he rejected her and her testimony concerning Lucy Rael. She opened a special meeting in a hotel nearby. Many

came to her meeting because she was also well known having appeared on PTL and the 700 Club Televisions.

Irene told us that she taught on the Blood of Jesus, And said that many of the women left the meeting. Irene and I

became black sheep among the Charismatic leadership and they told people to reject our ministries. Of course,when the childrens television minister, Willie George took a camera to Lucy Raels meeting and exposed her

deceptions, no one ever applied to us or thanked us for our concern for the blinded Christians wellbeing.

For decades, Lucy Rael's life and ministry have been marked by supernatural signs, demonstrating a powerful

witness that has led countless souls to believe on the Lord for salvation. She has also shared the stage with greats

such as A.A. Allen, Kenneth Hagin, and other signs and wonders forerunners.v

Back in the late 1980s, Lucy Raels alleged stigmata was being sponsored by T L Osborn. Although Lucy was raised

a Catholic, and has not renounced Roman Catholicism, she and her husband Sito then considered T. L and Daisy

Osborn their pastors.

There is an article about stigmata and on whether her stigmata is faked or not here: vi

From that article, I wanted to particularly highlight the following incident of Lucy Rael caught planting

heavenly feathers. Although it was then called dove feathers (to testify to the dove of the Holy Spirit), thisbelief has now morphed into the far more popular angel feathers, but it is the same old charlatanism at work

- angels feathers bring in more crowds, evidently, and can now tie in with the heretical mania for the

attention-diverting-away-from-Christ angels in all their glory. You know the ones like Emma, Swift,

Breakthrough Anointing, Winds of Change and angels of Finance promoted by all prophets of the

William Branham school. I wonder if there is an angel called Colossians Heresy? After this, is another

article where Lucy Rael was caught faking prophecy. As she was giving out words of knowledge, every name

called out by her was in that days church Bulletin..

On Thanksgiving day, 1988, Lucy appeared as a mistress of ceremonies at The Church Reunion, held at the

Mabee Center of Oral Roberts University in Tulsa. Several prominent leaders within the charismatic movementwere speakers during the four-day event. On this occasion the stigmata did not manifest in Lucys body. But

something even more remarkable took place. Calling songstress Vicki Jamison to come forward, Lucy had her close

her eyes and look upward, as she had the audience do. To the accompaniment of the song, Sweet Anointing, Lucy

encouraged everyone to Just close your eyes and worship Him.

Her words to Vicki Jamison set the stage for an unsettling incident:

Sister Vicki, today youre going to have a visitation from the Holy Spirit. Youre going to be anointed afresh and

anew. Youre going to feel the anointing of God come all over you when you minister.

The enemy has tried to destroy you. Hcs come against you in sickness. But Gods not through with you Hes notthrough with you, sister Vicki. But youre going to have a visitation from the Holy Ghost this day, that youre going

to go forth with such scope and power. Hallelujah! Youre going to enter the second phase of your ministry.

While exhorting the audience to worship Jesus, Lucy reached with her left hand, palm closed, and placed it on

Vickis right shoulder, opening her palm downward. Vickis eyes were closed, her arms lifted. Praising God, Lucy

removed her hand from Vickis shoulder and placed it upon her forehead. As her hand lifted from the shoulder asmall, white feather could be clearly seen to drop from Lucys hand onto Vickis shoulder . Lucy glanced at the

feather but continued to praise God and walk elsewhere on the stage. Feathers began to drop where she walked.

Suddenly, Lucy stopped and, in a surprised tone, exclaimed, Theres feathers all over this place! Oh, my God! MyGod!

Calling Billye Brim, another of the mistresses of ceremony, and Blaine Amburgy, the host for the affair, to join her,Lucy continued: A mighty visitation of the Holy Ghost! Hallelujah! Turn around [toward the audience) sister Vicki,

very slowly; very slowly! Hallelujah! On your shoulder! On your shoulder! The visitation of the Holy Ghost! My

God! We're having a visitation of the Spirit of Almighty...you say somebody said, "I don't understand this; I don'tbelieve this!" You know, the mind cannot receive the things of the Spirit! Sometimes the mind gets troubled! But

Honey, glory to God! Get out of that natural mind and get into the supernatural! The supernatural power of God!

[Turning to people picking up feathers]: Are you finding some over there? Hallelujah! Theres some over here!

Theres some over there! You say, What does that mean? The Dove of the Holy Spirit is flying all over this place!My God! Worship Him!

Isnt it typical that mystics exhort us to get out of your minds. But Gods Word tells us that He has given us

a sound mind Dr. Craig Rumedy used his mind and acquired two of the feathers. He sent them to Bob

Jennings, an ornithologist and a naturalist at Oxley Nature Park in Tulsa.

Mr. Jennings conclusions:

I) The feathers had a straight edge at callus (the point where they attach to the skin). This is not

characteristic of a feather that has been plucked out or fallen out;

2) The feathers were pure white and have a size and shape described as semi plume-like, and are typical in

size, shape, color, and appearance of down feathers;3) The feathers had no cage marks and were therefore not from a caged bird;

4) The edges of the individual branches of the feathers were frayed in such a manner as to suggest the

feathers were several weeks or months old or they had been handled very roughly.

5) The feathers are definitely not from a dove or pigeon:

6) They are quite typical of the underbelly feathers of a large waterfowl, e.g., egret, crane, heron, or goose;

7) They could well be goose down feathers?vii

SILVANIA MACHADO ~FALSE GOLD DUST MYSTICISM AND WITCHCRAFT ALCEMEY

This is witchcraft, mystical practice that came into the church in the

90,s.

Again, I attended a gold dust meeting to see what was happening. Iwrote a few articles on it and I knew the gold dust phenomena was

being produced by voodoo, familiar spirits, and deceptive spirits that

were operating to blind believers.

Channel Four of Jacksonville, Florida had the gold dust examined and it

turned out to be flaked gold cellophane. According to Silvania, shehad four kinds of cancer and green stuff was seeping out of her pours.

She went to a voodoo hospital and the Doctor told her to go to a

certain church and within three days, she would be healed! Sheclaimed that she was healed and the green stuff ceased manifesting and a sweet aroma appeared. Then she claimed

the gold dust appeared and began flowing from her hair and pours. Ruth Heflin came to Brazil and brought this

mystical woman to America. They spread this new doctrine throughout the Charismatic Movement in America.

Ruth Heflin died of cancer.

Silvania, is a woman who reportedly shedsgold dustand oozes oil.viii

Was promoted by the late

Ruth Heflin, and embraced by many people within today's controversial renewal and revivalmovements.

A holy woman from Brazil

Silvania, was at Calvary Pentecostal Campground from August 18-21, 1998 and in February of

1999. In the process of her physical healing of four types of cancer, oil began to flow

supernaturally from her body and later, gold dust began to be manifested on her face and thecrown of her head. As she praises and worships, this phenomenon is seen. Her Brazilian pastor

gathers the holy gold flakes and anoints the forehead of the sick and needy. Many miracles fall.

Source:Reported byRuth Ward Heflin, who promotes this Machado.

However, according to the U.S. Geological Survey in Washington, D.C. Both samples of the "gold dust" - sent to

them for testing byCharisma magazine- were deemed to be plastic film with no traces of gold, platinum or silver:

A Brazilian evangelistat the center of the "gold dust" phenomenon being reported at charismatic churches across

the United States and Europe says she is unfazed by scientific reports suggesting that all that glitters is not what it

seems.

Two independent tests on samples of the gold-colored dust that falls from Silvania Machado's head during services

have found the substance to be more like plastic glitter, with no gold content.But Machado, who attributes the manifestation to her divine healing from cancer, is untroubled by the conclusions

of the analyses carried out on behalf of "Charisma" magazine. "To me, it doesn't matter what it is as long as it's from

God", she said.

"Charisma" had two samples of Machado's gold dust analyzed by the U.S. Geological Survey in Washington, D.C.

Both were deemed to be plastic film with no traces of gold, platinum or silver. x

If you are caught up with strange gold dust, gems and diamonds, third heaven trips, laughing, Kundalini demonic

ministries, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE. This insane witchcraft can and will lead you to the highway of hell.

Kaye Beyerand her late husband Harold are widely known for the miracle of manna that has appeared in their

meetings for many years. For four decades she has seen lives supernaturally changed for the Kingdom.xii

EASTERN KUNDALINI SERPENT POWER

It just keeps coming up. A friend of mine, had formerly been involved with Siddha Yoga Muktananda

Movement. I remembered he talked to me about the Blue Flame Witch a couple of years ago. He wrote me

the following: the head of Siddha Yoga Muktananda focused on the blue pearl within. We talked about the

Blue Light Queen....these are witches who enslave men in their ethereal abode. They appear as angels

shrouded in blue light... yeah all those people are steeped in it, the whole Bob Jones, Elijah List, Patricia

King, Bentley, TBN---none are free.

No one likes to expose this sort of information, however, if it is true, is it better to just ignore it and sweep it

under the rug? Should we just sit back and let the New Mystics take over our pulpits and Christian people?

Should we just let the little darlings alone and let them get more bizarre everyday and suddenly notice that

they have stolen our young people from our churches and the weak minded, feeble Christians from our pews?

A DEMONIC ANGEL EMMA O LEADS LATTER RAIN REVIVALS

Todd Bentley and the Latter Rain followers of Bob Jones said that

an Angel Called Emma O was leading the Lakeland

Outpouring, Emma was the prevalent angel in charge until

Stephen Strader for Bentley and Jones to talk about Emma.

Todds response, he named another angel called Liberty, to

take charge of his California plans. In addition, he removed all

references of Emma O from his web site and his articles. The

reason being, that the brave souls that were uncovering the

demonic nature of the Lakeland fiasco uncovered that Emma O

was a demonic figure from the Japanese Buddhist mythology, the

overlord of Hell. WOW! Even uncovering this damaginginformation, pastors and Christian people continued to follow

Todd Bentleys demonic musing.

in Japanese Buddhist mythology, the overlord of hell (Jigoku), corresponding to the Indian deity Yama. He

judges the souls of men, while his sister judges the souls of women. The sinner is sent to one of the 16 regions

of fire or ice assigned him by Emma-o for a fixed period of time until the next rebirth, unless saved by the

prayersof the living, in which case he is reborn either on earth or in a heavenly paradise. Emma-o is usually

represented with a fierce expression, wearing a Chinese judge's cap and holding his mace of office.

Yama in Buddhism and Chinesemythology

Main article: Yama (Buddhism and Chinese mythology)

The Vedic Yama, with certain changes of function, was the basis

for the Buddhist Yama, judge of the dead, who presides over the

Buddhist Hells. The Buddhist Yama became an integral part of Chinese and Japanese mythology.

Although ultimately based on the god Yama of the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist Yama has developeddifferent myths and different functions from the Hindudeity. He has also spread far more widely, and is

known in every region where Buddhism is practiced, including Tibet, Chinaand Japan.

Yama's abode

Naraka (Hindu)Main article:Naraka (Hinduism)

Naraka inHinduism, is compared to the Abrahamic concept of Hell.However, Naraka in Hinduism is not equivalent to Hell in Christian faith.Naraka is only a purgatory where the soul gets purified of sin bysufferings. In Hindu myth, there are many hells, andYama, Lord ofJustice, sends human beings after death for appropriate punishment.Such punishment can be in boiling oil, etc. EvenMukti-yogyas(soulseligible for mukti or moksha), andNitya-samsarins(forever

transmigrating ones inDvaitatheology) can experience Naraka forexpiation.

Main article:Naraka (Buddhism)

Narakais usually translated into English as "hell" or"purgatory". A Naraka differs from the

hells of western religions in two respects. First, beings are not sent to Naraka as the result ofa divine judgment and punishment; second, the length of a being's stay in a Naraka is not

eternal, though it is usually very long. Instead, a being is born into a Naraka as a direct result

of his or her previous karma (actions of body, speech and mind), and resides there for afinite length of time until his karma has achieved its full result.

[edit]Di Yu (Chinese mythology) and Jigoku(Japanese mythology)

Main article:Di Yu and Jigoku

ChineseDi Yu, JapaneseJigoku, literally "earth prison", is the realm of the dead or

"hell" inChinese mythologyandJapanese mythology. It is based upon the Buddhistconcept ofNaraka combined with local afterlife beliefs. Incorporating ideas from

Taoism and Buddhism as well as traditional religion in China, Di Yu is a kind of

purgatory place which serves not only to punish but also to renew spirits ready fortheir next incarnation. Jigoku is similar, with Shinto concepts. These names are

interchangeable with the concept ofNaraka.

[edit]Yama and Ymir

Main article:Ymir

In a disputable etymology, W. Meid (1992) has linked the names Yama

(reconstructed inProto-Indo-Europeanas *yemos) and the name of the primevalNorse frost giant Ymir, which can be reconstructed in Proto-Germanic as

*umijaz or *jumijaz, in the latter case possibly deriving from PIE *ymyos, fromthe rootyem"twin". In his myth, however, Ymir is not a twin, and only shares

with Yama the characteristics of being primeval and mortal. However, Ymir is a

hermaphroditeand engenders the race of giants.

[edit]Yama in Javanese

There is Yamadipati in Javanese culture, especially in wayang. Wordadipati means ruler or commander. In the beginning Hinduism came to

Java, Yama was still the same as Yama in Hindu myth. When Islam

Sanghyang Ismaya and Dewi Sanggani. In wayang story, Yamadipati

married Dewi Mumpuni. Unfortunately, Dewi Mumpuni fell in love withNagatatmala, son of Hyang Anantabogawho rules earth. Dewi Mumpuni

Yama from Tibet

Yamais the name of theBuddhistdharmapalaand judge of the dead, who presides over the BuddhistNarakas(Pli:Nirayas), "Hells" or "Purgatories". Although ultimately based on the god Yamaof the Hindu Vedas, the Buddhist

Yama has developed different myths and different functions from the Hindudeity. He has also spread far more

widely, and is known in every country where Buddhism is practiced, including Tibet, Chinaand Japan.

Yama in Theravda Buddhism

Yama was understood by Buddhists as a god of the dead, supervising the various Buddhist "hells". His exact role isvague in canonical texts, but is clearer in extra-canonical texts and popular beliefs, which are not always consistent

with Buddhist philosophy.

In thePali canon, the Buddha states that a person who has ill-treated their parents, ascetics, holy persons and elders

is taken upon his death to Yama.[1]Yama then asks the ignoble person if he ever considered his own ill conduct inlight of birth, aging, sickness, worldly retribution and death. In response to Yama's questions, such an ignoble

person repeatedly answers that he failed to consider the kammicconsequences of his reprehensible actions and as a

result is sent to a brutal hell "so long as that evil action has not exhausted its result."[2]

Inextra-canonical Pali texts,the great Theravdascholar, Buddhaghosa, described Yama as a vimnapeta, a beingin a mixed state, sometimes enjoying celestial comforts and at other times receiving the more unpleasant fruitsof his

kamma;however, as a king, his rule is considered just.[3]

In popular belief in Theravdin Buddhist countries, Yama sends old age, disease, punishments and other calamities

among humans as warnings to behave well. When they die, they are summoned before Yama, who examines their

character and dispatches them to their appropriate rebirth, whether as a human, to a heaven, or to one of the hellsthat Yama presides over. Sometimes there are thought to be several Yamas, each presiding over a distinct Hell.

Theravdasources sometimes speak of two Yamas or four Yamas.[4]\\\

Yama in Chinese and Japanese mythology

TibetanDharmapalaat theField MuseuminChicago, Illinois

InChinese mythology,Yan Wang(traditional Chinese:; simplified Chinese:;pinyin: Yn Wng), also

called Yanluo(traditional Chinese:; simplified Chinese:;pinyin: Ynlu; Wade-Giles: Yen-lo), is the

god of deathand the ruler of Di Yu(Jp. Jigoku, "hell" or the underworld). The name Yanluo is a shortened Chinese

transliterationof theSanskritterm Yama Rj () "King Yama". In Japan Yanluo is referred to as Emma

(older Yemma), or Emma-(Enma Dai-, "Great King Yama").

Yanluo is not only the ruler but also the judge of the underworld and passes judgment on all the dead. He always

appears in a male form, and his minions include a judge who holds in his hands a brush and a book listing every soul

and the allotted death date for every life. Ox-Head and Horse-Face, the fearsome guardians of hell, brings the newlydead, one by one, before Yanluo for judgment. Men or women with merit will be rewarded good future lives, or

even revival in their previous life. Men or women who committed misdeeds will be sentenced to torture and/or

miserable future lives.

The spirits of the dead, on being judged by Yanluo, are supposed to either pass through a term of enjoyment in aregion midway between the earth and the heaven of the gods, or to undergo their measure ofpunishmentinNaraka,

the nether world, situated somewhere in the southern region. After this time they may return to Earthin new bodies.

Yanluo is considered to be an office or bureaucratic post, rather than an individual god. There were said to be cases

in which an honest mortal was rewarded the post of Yanluo, and served as the judge and ruler of the underworld.

In his capacity as judge, Yanluo is normally depicted wearing a Chinese judge's cap in Chinese and Japanese art.

Yanluo sometimes appears on ChineseHell Bank Notes.

Yamantaka Vajrabhairav, British Museum

InTibet,Yama (Tibetangshin.rje) was both regarded with horror as the prime mover of sasra, and revered as aguardian of spiritual practice. In the popular mandalaof theBhavacakra, all of the realms of life are depicted

between the jaws, or in the arms of a monstrous Yama. Yama is sometimes shown with a consort, Yami.

Another elaboration of the concept of Yama in TibetanVajraynaBuddhism was as Yamntaka i.e. Yama-Antaka,meaning Yama-Death or "Death's Death".

The following story describes the relationship between Yama and Yamntaka:

A holy man was told that if he meditated for the next 50 years, he would achieve enlightenment. The holy

man meditated in a cave for 49 years, 11 months and 29 days, until he was interrupted by two thieves whobroke in with a stolen bull. After beheading the bull in front of the hermit, they ignored his requests to bespared for but a few minutes, and beheaded him as well. In his near-enlightened fury, this holy man became

Yama, the god of Death, took the bull's head for his own, and killed the two thieves, drinking their blood

from cups made of their skulls. Still enraged, Yama decided to kill everyone in Tibet. The people of Tibet,fearing for their lives, prayed to the bodhisattva Majur, who took up their cause. He transformed himself

into Yamntaka, similar to Yama but ten times more powerful and horrific. In their battle, everywhere

Yama turned, he found infinite versions of himself. Majur as Yamntaka defeated Yama, and turned him

into a protector of Buddhism. He is generally considered a wrathful deity.

19th century kagamibutanetsukedepicting Enma

For many popular uses of characters loosely based on the Japanese version of Yama, see Enma.

A Japanesekotowazastates "When borrowing, the face of Jiz, when paying back a loan, the face of

Enma". Jiz is typically portrayed with a serene, happy expression whereas Enma is typically portrayedwith a thunderous, furious expression. The kotowazahence alludes to changes in people's behaviour for

selfish reasons depending on their circumstances.

Yama, identified as a "Chinese spirit of the underworld", appears played by Todd Newtonin the episode"Dead Man Dating" of the television series Charmed.

InWendy Wu: Homecoming Warrior, Yanluo is mentioned as Yan Lo.

Yen-lo-Wang is the name of Kai Allard-Liao's battlemech- a specially altered Centurion- in the Battletechuniverse.

Yim Lau Wong (a derivation of Yenluo Wang) is the final boss character in the Playstation game FearEffect,made by Kronos Digital Entertainment. He refers to himself as "The King of Hell."

GREED NO BOUNDS ~NEW FAITH~ NEW CHRISTIANITY

Many Christian pastors are promoting this outlandish new Angel fired Christianity that I call, I, me, you betterhomes and garden - bubble gum ~Disney world false Christianity. They call themselves Signs and Wonders

ministers who follow after the anointing of angels to fuel their false unholy revivals.

Their worldly dialogue is leaving the Word of God and Jesus as an afterthought of their sermons and promoting

themselves. These particular ministers are very popular and extremely wealthy. This perverse gospel that is tied to

the many anomalous versions of the Bible and producing shallow, spiritually destitute, self-centered people void of

faith. The spirit of materialism has captured the pulpits and so-called Christian leaders are buying great mansions,cars, designer clothes and are living like kings and queens on Gods money while the world that Jesus died for, is

falling into the pit of hell. This financial success will be their great judgment at the seat of the Savior. He will say to

them, depart from me, you workers of iniquity, I never knew you!

My heart broke when I saw an evangelist break down weep for the Body of Christ. He said, the tragedy is, that

American Television ministries have transported this materialistic anemic, bloodless Christianity around the worldto third world countries. In Kenya, street children are being placed in a big tin building, without bedding and food,while Christian ministers ride around in big expensive cars, living in prominent houses. Meanwhile, many of them

believe that they are the only ones going to heaven because God is blessing them!

Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducingspirits, and doctrines of devils; 2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; (1 Tim.

4:1-2).

SORCERIES DOCTRINES AND THE MINISTRY

The Laodicean church thought they were doing well and were spiritual. After all they were rich, so of course God

must be blessing them. Besides, their churches were going to mega status by employing bewitching techniques by

worldly agents using Mind Control. The wealthy ministers mostly dress well and talk about their possessions to

impress people. They focus on outward appearances and worldliness. MEANWHILE, since many Christian leadershave lost their relationship with Jesus Christ, they are now dependent upon such as dangerous psychiatric SRRI

drugs such as Zoloff, Paxell, . These drugs seem to cut people minds away from God.

But these people did not know their inward condition; they were blind and could not see. So the Lord asked if they

would buy from Him gold refined in the fire (by their suffering) white garments (robes of salvation) and eye salve sothey could see their condition. Today many see their success and prosperity as Gods blessing. The Laodicean

Church was lukewarm. The Lord wanted them either cold or hot. Hot water was used for healing; cold was used for

refreshment. Instead, they could not make up their mind, they were standing for nothing, and were good for nothing.They lived in both worlds. Spiritually they could have been either all for God or not at all, but they were in between.

If they were hot, they would have been approved. If they were cold, God could have changed them, but they were in

the middle and He was unable do anything. This is the worst place to be, to be part of a church, doing church things,

thinking you are a Christian when in fact you are not. The Laodiceans had just enough religiosity to get by and thinkthey were fine. They were naked also. In the time of Christ all soldiers would sleep in their clothes, they would not

take them off so they would be ready for battle. We are to be clothed in white garments, the righteousness of Christ.

Jesus was saying they did not have his righteousness they were naked. Yet even this church is not hopeless; Christ

can come into the individual if He is allowed , As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealousand repent (v.19). This is the only Church that He is outside of and offers to come to the individual in the Church

and not the collective Church, because the whole Church is removed from the truth of functioning in the word of

God. This does not mean they abandon Gods word or name but only use portions of it that suit them, or change itsmeaning. 3

The Church today is also sitting in this same fallen condition. Many have left the foundations of the Gospel, Jesusbeing Savior and very God in the Flesh. Jn. 1:1-5,In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,

and the Word was God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made by him; andwithout him was not anything made that was made. 4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5 And

the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. KJV

Many are seeking things and emotional experiences and feelings in the flesh instead of wisdom and knowledge of

the Word of God and Jesus. Seductions are great and worldwide. Many have lost their first love. Christians use to

get excited about Jesus Christ but now they cheer when greedy preachers pick their pockets as men and women ofGod. We must return to the basics of the Word of God if we
