Idolatry and the Impact of Plagues Upon Christianity

By Pastor Pam

As I pointed out in several of my books, the practice of idolatry— whether purposeful or in ignorance— is an open gateway to the plagues. Easy believism, aka the “I accept Jesus into my heart”practice is at the top of the list of the most pervasive practices of idolatry in the churches. Closely followed is the speaking in tongues, the prosperity gospel and closet homosexuality among the clergy. Truly, the list of idolatrous practices is very long. Blasphemous doctrines are the most glaring including those that add to or detract from the gospel of Jesus Christ as both Savior and Lord. As Paul warned the Galatians, to add to or detract from the gospel brings a lasting curse with it. (Galatians:1:8) A curse is synonymous with a plague.

In my book called “the New Idolatry,” you will find these words:

“I perceive some basic principles that can be gleaned from an exploration of how God delivered His people out of the hands of Pharaoh to understand how He will also deliver the remnant elect out of the hands of the Antichrist when He opens the 7 vial and the 7 seal judgments outlined by the Apostle John in the book of Revelation.These judgments or plagues are listed in the 8th chapter: earthquakes, the sea becomes blood, 1/3 of the creatures of the sea die, 1/3 of the rivers and waters are contaminated, darkness with 1/3 of the light turned off of the moon, the sun and the stars, locusts that torment the unsaved for 5 months, and 1/3 of men killed by war. Endtime plagues certainly bear noticeable similarities to the 10 wonders that came upon Egypt, ie. the contamination of water, weather disturbances aka climate change, death of sea creatures, darkness, and death, with God’s people being protected.”

What are the plagues? The worst plague is a curse of spiritual blindness caused by delusion and demonic deception. The worst of the worst is to be duped into believing that you are going to heaven, and to die and find yourself in hell for eternity. For what does it profit a man, if he gains the whole world yet loses his soul? (Matthew 16:25) The fact that countless people have been indoctrinated into the “I accepted Jesus” practice aka the “make a decision” for Christ gospel are the worst abominations of them all. For this form of idolatry distorts the word of God to such an extent, than I am willing to estimate that 95% of churchgoers believe that they are born again , yet they are not. Counterfeit spiritual births at the altars of God are the absolute worst plague, the fruit of idolatry. This horrendous sign is pervasive throughout the organized church worldwide—a huge, gaping hole for demonic infestation and other horrendous plagues to enter with ease.

In “the “Tribulation: Signs to Wonder About” a salient warning is presented:

Just because you have not yet felt the ramifications of a plague, does NOT mean that you have escaped it. It may manifest at the end of your life or even in the lives of your children and grandchildren. For example, freemasonry in the church is a major outrage of how the Fake Jesus has established a seat in countless organized religious systems. In fact, many of mainline denominations were even founded by practicing freemasons, with freemasons pervasively established in the pulpits yet today.

In the ebook “Social Distancing and the Out of Church Movement,” Covid 19 is considered as a special warning relative to idolatrous teachings and practices built into Christian religion. Case in point, the following quotations loudly amplifies the warning:

In the month of March 2020, the Holy Spirit made things quite clear. What is impossible with men is possible with God. God is using the social distancing requirement of Coronavirus to empty the churches. ALL AT ONCE, HE HAS OPENED THE RED SEA. Its a dangerous time. If you remain disobedient, you will go down with the sinking ship. If you return to the churches after the crisis has passed, you will be like Lot’s wife, looking back at what God is destroying!

You may ask why.

Your question is both logical and understandable. To cut to the chase, the reason God wants His people to “come out of Her,” is because the spirit of the Antichrist has progressively crept into religious institutions for centuries and every last person, down to the preacher has continued to be just plain unaware. Spiritually blind, in fact. After about 1700 years, these religious buildings are comparable to haunted houses. Though invisible, church buildings are filled with evil spirits who specialize in religion.

It follows that plagues that can destroy the soul are actually worst than those that debilitate the body only. Sickness and disease are certainly among the plagues, but there are several others. In our times, there are plagues that were not around in other generations: Covid-19, HIV/AIDS, crack, violence like drive by shootings, missing children, the domestic violence cycle and so many more.Addiction of any kind is a plague primarily due to the dysfunction within the human will. As previously addressed, besides the mind and the emotions, the soul also consists of the will. Whenever the human will is in any kind of bondage, a plague is in operation which follows that the soul is seriously damaged.

The simple truth is that a plethora of plagues, aka pandemics shall play a crucial role in the last days before the Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth, wherein He will destroy all plagues as death itself is destroyed. In the meantime, The Lord God has left us a list of instructions. the most important one being “Come out OF HER MY PEOPLE, lest you partake of Her sins and receive f Her plagues.

Her? Who is SHE? That is the question. To answer that question, we must also ask “where are The Lord’s People?”

When you have received the answer to these two questions, then you will know what to do and what NOT to do.

Jesus Is The Name Above All Names

One of the major goals of the Enemy is to blow believers off course. He blows believers off the true path of salvation. How does he do it? He does it by operating through religion. His main goal is to twist
scripture by either passing off an outright lie or by mixing the Truth. We live in a society full of Information Overload. He interweaves spiritual lies in with a little of the truth to make the misinformation of lies palatable and believable. The goal is to get the believer to never suspect the lie or mixed truths. Mixed truths are pushed through religion to manipulate the minds of a sincere believer.

Mass Manipulation

Jesus warned us in the gospels that “false Christs” will arise and many will believe in a “Fake Jesus.” Satan and his henchmen have been using religion for centuries to distort scripture. One way he does this is by minimizing the divinity of our Lord Jesus. He manipulates believers through by placing emphasis on our
Heavenly Father while downplaying the divinity of Jesus. He does this by manipulating the minds of false teachers. False Teachers help spread lies that Jesus either has no divinity or is not the center of our worship. The Enemy uses clever techniques by shifting the emphasis on what names we shall call God.
Some religions like Jehovah’s Witnesses put great emphasis on calling God “Jehovah” while other religions insist on calling our Lord a Hebrew name like “Yahshua.” Despite religion, our Heavenly God makes it simple he commissioned that the name of Jesus is the Name above All names. This is one of the problems with religion is that religion complicates things but God intended for us to keep things simple. When we place our worship on the Father we actually quench the Holy Spirit. The Enemy loves to stir up confusion.

Stirring Up Confusion

Some religions only place Jesus at the back of worship teaching that Jesus is just a messenger or the Son God with no divinity. God is one depth but One that teaches simplicity that even a child could understand who Jesus truly is. However, our Heavenly Father makes it plain to us in the Hebrews that he
takes great delight in his son being God and keeping his son’s name simple. The Enemy minimizes the divinity of our Lord Jesus by complicating matters by distorting the name of God. The Enemy loves to gain worship for himself. He does this by minimizing our Trinity God as the true God and tricking
believers in worshipping “another Jesus” with a little ‘g’. When believers fall for ‘another Jesus with a little ‘g’ then Satan has accomplished his purpose and that is to deceive.

Come Out of Confusion

God is waking up his chosen Elect and he has instructed us to “Come out of Her.” When God says to “come out of her” he means that we wants us to come out from religion and mass confusion. You will need to detox and dry out from religion. More importantly, you will need to come out from serving “another
Jesus” with a little “g.” If you have fallen for false doctrines like the ‘I accept’ doctrine or perhaps the prosperity doctrine then you have fallen prey to a mixed truth and mass deception. If you are ready to break out of religious
confusion, consider purchasing this book. Buy Spiritual Gold, get this book! Or, if you have questions or if you would like to be counseled, call Pastor Pam toll free at 1-888-818-1117 at Pam Sheppard Ministries.

You’re Not Dead Yet so Examine Your Salvation!

Praying To Accept Jesus
A Fallacy!

 

Paul’s time was chosen for him, not by him.

Someone once wrote, “In this day and age, MOST professing Christians are too proud and stubborn to consider the fact that the religious teaching they have grown to love Are All a Lie…and have NO IDEA about the darkness that has taken over the organized church.”

The enemy has long ago entered the visible church and propagated the lie that if a Christian has faith, speaks positively, and gives donations to religious causes, that financial blessings, “health and wealth, “ is assured as the will of God and that material wealth would even increase.  Many Christians continue to chase this carrot while the enemy laughs.  This is actually very simplistic and childish thinking.

And that isn’t the only or worst of false doctrines that have taken over the visible church.  The single most damaging practice that has even spread throughout the world is, “praying to accept Jesus and asking Him into one’s heart.”  This is otherwise known as the, “sinner’s prayer. ”Yes, that’s right.  Please take a moment to consider, (throughout this article, all references to, “Jesus,” refers only to Jesus Christ who was born in Nazareth .”  If that seems odd, it will be explained in a future article.),  Jesus is actually, now, in His physical body, sitting at the right hand of the Father.  He cannot enter any one’s heart.  And the critical, “work,” of salvation is in no one’s hands but God Himself who draws one to their salvation.

 On the contrary,  the following scriptures appear to dictate that He already knows who will be His.  And at any time during one’s lifetime, even to the last breath, one would have their time of visitation by the Holy Spirit.  I site the following verses: Romans 8:29–30; Ephesians 1:5, 11; Colossians 3:12; 1 Thessalonians 1:4; and 2 Timothy 2:10.

Also know that the most important point in the understanding of the salvation experience is in understanding that without the physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus into immortality—there is no salvation. One must know  and understand that it isn’t just His suffering on the cross that is critical, but His being raised up into immortality in His actual physical body.  Remember, upon His return to His disciples, He spoke with them, ate with them, and Thomas was even able to physically touch Him to enhance his belief that this was truly Jesus.  To further advance the monumental occasion of His resurrection was the fact that at that time, as we now read in Matt. 27:51-53:

…“Then, behold, the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom; and the earth quaked, and the rocks were split, and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised; and coming out of the graves after His resurrection, they went into the holy city and appeared to many.”      As Paul warned the Corinthians, if one has a wrong belief, or does not believe in His resurrection or the resurrection of the dead, then there is no salvation. As Paul said in 1 Cor. 15:17,  And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins.

Also, consider that anything monumental that had ever been done for the ultimate benefit of man was done by God Himself. Refer to His leading Israel out of Egypt;  His crafting His covenant with Abraham—remember, He gave Abraham instructions, but then put him to sleep while He cut the covenant (Gen. 15:9-18); and for us, salvation in Christ Jesus of Nazareth through the visitation of the Holy Spirit who convicts us of sin and gives us the faith to believe in the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ.

He, “calls,” us by the Holy Spirit, who chooses the time of His visitation and convicts us to repentance in much sorrow for who we ourselves are by our sin-nature that put Jesus on the cross.  Again, He, “convinces,” us that we are sinners deserving of punishment but soon afterwards also brings our spirit to life with absolute joy in Him giving us the necessary faith to believe in His bodily resurrection. So praying to accept Jesus is an offense to God Himself.

This great work is done by Him, not us.  We cannot convict ourselves nearly to the extent that the Holy Spirit does. We cannot produce our own faith as the Holy Spirit gives.  This is totally His work.  Not ours. Anything critical to man He does Himself so that—if you will—man would not mess it up.

My next post will further illustrate this point with my own testimony. But here now, please know that my own Pastor was an atheist from the word, “go.” And did not attend any house of institutional religion but one time in 33 years.  For as long as she could remember she was an atheist until the Holy Spirit came upon her, quite out of the blue and convicted her of her sin-nature, gave her the faith to believe in Jesus’ suffering and bodily resurrection, and she became born again.  What I didn’t say was that at the time she was deep into the occult!  He saved her without a sermon, tract, or anything else but Himself.  

Me, I was a false conversion, believing that I was, “saved, born again, etc.” because I repeated a, “sinner’s prayer.  I “parroted,” a prayer based on intellectual knowledge, no true faith required, no true, through and through, into the marrow of my bones realization or acknowledgement of my sin nature, so did that count?  No.  But I went through all of the motions, attended a house of worship, did what I was told, etc., and was not, as I came to learn, was not born again.  That came much, much later…

Finally, , take a moment and do as Paul had admonished, examine your salvation to see if you truly are in the faith. (2 Corinthians 13:5)
