PEACEFUL MORNING ON THIS SATURDAY. Rested well after having babysat my youngest grand on Friday for 6 hours. What a delight having a 3 year old GRAND visit for the evening. I have some storage tubs with children's toys that my GRAND knows are to play with. When he came over, he says his hellos and goes straight to the tubs.
We watched him play and interacted with him as he played so well. He really likes the CHOO-CHOO TRAINS as he calls them. Then there are tubs of faux food products, odds 'n ins, and dinosaurs. He especially likes the book about dinosaurs and wants read to.
Grandpa drew with him for a while, then we ate and watched CURIOUS GEORGE on the television in which he fell asleep on Grandpa's lap. Grandpa fell asleep as well. I gave them an hour then woke GRAND up as I thought he wouldn't sleep at night if he slept too long. We watched CURIOUS GEORGE some more then turned it off so we could play in the Living room until his Mom came to get him.
His Mom came to pick him up, visit and return HOME. By 9:30 we were ready to watch some tele of our own.
SATURDAY will be an opportunity to take it easy as two old peeps do from time to time. Christmas was a month ago. I will now put the decorations away.
I watched some you tube videos about a religious leader that has a huge church following and school. He's being exposed for wicked dealings. Just because a school is labeled as a christian school does not mean they are learning Biblical truths. More than not they are being prepared to become a minion for the head minister donating free labor and drumming up money for the ministry.
This particular minister walks around nude even with an assistant present in the room. He takes bathes in front of his daughter while she sits on the toilet to talk to him. Altogether wrong behavior for a minister to have. He is a freemason.
These days I no longer follow big name ministers or worship them. There was a time, I believe I did worship big name ministers and thought they could walk on water. I was mesmerized as I looked for peace and power after going through a horrible time in my marriage.
I won't go into great detail at this time about the spiritual journey I have lived. For now, I am more interested in knowing why some have strayed from the faith and are false teachers. Simple. It's for MONEY. What makes them a false teacher? Who if any should I listen to. More on this later.
By the time we arrived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, GOD began to open my eyes to the flaws of the Word of Faith Movement and inch away from false teachers. I had been submerged deep into the falsehoods in Texas and began to detox from the teachings of Kenneth Copeland, Oral Roberts, Billy Jo Daugherty, Benny Hinn, Jesse Duplantis, Kenneth Hagen, Joyce Meyer, Lester Sumrall, and many more. The teachers/preachers hob knob with one another within a charismatic circle taking turns visiting one another's churches for money to keep themselves in luxury. They promote one another's ministries. Pat one another on the back. Exchange offerings.
I remember attending in the Maybee Center on the Oral Roberts University Campus where Gloria Copeland was speaking and she said they were very careful which churches they visited. Putting two and two together we figured this is because they want to get the largest offering possible and they knew which churches to attend to receive huge donations to take to the bank. These would be churches that practiced the same beliefs where you are pounded to give to receive. Gloria wanted a house where the Olympics would take place the following Summer. I'm sure she received a huge offering that night as the place was crammed full of people who willingly give cash.
Another time we went to see Jesse Duplantis and left early after he already had spent 20 minutes on the offering to his ministry and was still going strong. Enough. We left.
Went to hear the great Lester Sumrall who wouldn't pray for a woman in a wheel chair and when a young woman took longer than he thought it should take to walk down the stairs to the platform where he stood, he scolded her humiliating her in front of the audience.
They may say they are sharing the salvation message through Jesus Christ to the world, but fail to say who JESUS is and make the message more about giving money to their ministry instead of sharing the JESUS of the BIBLE.
Reinhard Bonnke said he would be sending a Gospel pamphlet to every residence in the United States. An offering was taken. We're still waiting to receive the pamphlet and he died in 2019 long after we heard him speak. Somehow we did not receive a pamphlet from him.
I went to a Women's Conference where an offering was taken for the ORU teachers as Richard Roberts said they didn't have the money to pay their salaries. An offering was taken. It must have been a huge one because Lindsey entered the room so excited sharing that they were able to buy a satellite with that offering. She telephoned Oral which we all heard to let him know they bought the satellite. What ever happened to the teacher's salaries? Richard said and I quote, "Oh well, it'll come from somewhere!" I saw first hand how Richard and Lindsey mishandled an offering. I don't suppose it was the first time either.
After our Tulsa experience while in Jenks, Oklahoma, where we learned about infrasonic sound which is sound you can feel, but cannot hear, we relocated back to Kansas. Infrasonic sound when beamed at you can cause you to cry and fall down. I experienced this at a Benny Hinn Concert in Texas. Infrasonic sound can affect your mood. I call it sending happy waves over the people to where they suddenly feel happy and give more money during the offering because they feel so good. When wanting an emotional response from the people, infrasonic sound is beamed toward people where people react beyond their control. I would go so far as to say, it is a form of mind control. Sound waves that can cause even death if the frequency is extremely low. Joyce Meyer's ministry has been known to use infrasonic transducers as the sell of these are recorded.
When at the Benny Hinn Concert, he was telling the people that the Holy Spirit was going to hit in ten minutes over there as he pointed to the people in a balcony. Sure enough the people were standing and they were knocked down. Boom. Then he announced to the arena to stand and hold hands over our heads. Sure enough when he yelled NOW into his microphone that he was holding, we that were standing holding one another's hands over our heads fell back down into our chairs and were bawling tears. I was not sad or emotionally upset, but was crying. I felt a wave of energy push me into my chair with tears already streaming down my face. I actually felt something push me down when he said NOW. No one was there to push me and I know the Holy Spirit is not a dog and pony show because of someone's whims.
Later when a mother holding her blind baby in her arms was forcing her way through the crowds to the front of the platform so Benny would pray for her blind child, she was not able to get to Benny. She returned to her chair in tears that she hadn't been able to get to him so he could pray for her baby. I was sickened at this three ring circus.
We left Tulsa, moved to Manhattan, Kansas for six years then moved to a country farmhouse for two years and onto our rock house in a different community. I researched more and began to see a connection between the big named ministers that I worshipped and their ties to freemasonry also false teachings. Freemasons are encouraged to be leaders in their churches.
After all, if you are a freemason you will be encouraged to have a leadership role in your church if a Christian. What better way to deceive the people than to mislead them away from Gospel truths that we are saved by grace through Jesus Christ and not by works. Freemasons are taught to do good works so they'll go to heaven. Not because they put their trust in the son of God to be saved or believe that Jesus is our savior. Money does not save your soul.
As I have grown older, I see that those who are in high visibility ministries are generally there because they are in the club and have been promoted to be there. They have connections and it's generally through freemasons.
I've learned that as humans we can easily be mesmerized and led down the wrong path with religion and politics. Easily deceived to follow a leader through lies spoken and false promises.
The research gets very interesting. Not only on a Saturday, but everyday.
