CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

Matthew 24:24... For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

We live in the 21st century where churches are known by all, seen by all and most people are able to attend if they so choose. This is an age of religious freedom; freedom to proclaim whatever you see as "the gospel", defend it and as well, teach it.

Christianity is the religion I'm focused on in this book, an effort to expose the corruption and the Satanism that has taken a hold of "Christianity" in this day and age.

God is the creator of the heavens and the earth; He created man for His good pleasure and never intended that man should suffer while in the earth. He loves man so much and gave man all things that pertains unto a good life and godliness 1Peter 1:3, so why are there so many of God's children suffering? Why are there so many Christians crying out to their God and it seems as though there is no answer? Why has God forsaken His own children and turned a deaf ear to their cries? Maybe it is because of their iniquities or it is because of their lack of knowledge; God says His children are destroyed because of the lack of knowledge Hosea 4:6; question is "What knowledge?"

Matthew 11:12... And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

As far back as Bible stories go, God's word has always been perverse by the devil; God's children have always been targeted by the devil and afflicted. In the Old Testament, God was very protective of the children of Israel, watched over them jealously, even when they sinned and rejected Him, He did not reject them but was close and watch them in their turmoil and destructions. So what has changed now? Why is God silent?

The biggest challenge for the children of Israel then was abiding in God's law and abstaining from idol worship, while the ploy of the devil to destroy them was simply by seduction, letting them believe that there was something better than the law. The devil convinced them that the worship of Baal was the solution to their boredom; and their hunger for iniquity and sexual immorality. And by this, many of them fell and were destroyed.

In this day and age, I believe that idolatry or Baal worship is not a challenge for a Christian; no Christian can be openly seduced in worshipping a demon because knowledge abounds now. The gospel of Jesus Christ has been shared abroad; people know God and are also knowledgeable about the devil and his activities. So a true Christian in this day and age stays away from spiritualism and demon worship, no Christian truly wants to worship a demon. So what is their biggest challenge today?

Satan, aka Lucifer was the angel of God's presence, bestowed with so much beauty, designed to reflect God's glory to other angels. But he committed high treason against God and as a result was relieved of all his duties and was cast down from heaven, cut off completely from God. All the gifts and beauty the God bestowed on Lucifer was not revoked because God never takes back that which He has given Romans 11:29. However, Lucifer is cut off from God and is unable to replenish, increase or improve. So all he does is recycle his old tricks, tell the same old lies, give the same old deceptions and express his same old wickedness. He has nothing new, the type of atrocities seen in the world today isn't new, it's been in the world for ages but now it's accepted as a norm or a pattern of behavior for a selected few but it is accepted.

The biggest challenge for a child of God in this day and age is the same as it was in the days of Moses, **seduction!** Accepting that there's something better than the law; a faster way to getting answers from God and having their prayer requests granted speedily. In this quest, they accept doctrines that seem godly but demonic, straying away from God and sadly by the time most realize this, destruction has already made a home in their lives.

Just as the children of Israel cried out to God for deliverance while they were in bondage in Egypt for hundreds of years, so are the children of God crying out to God for deliverance from spiritual bondage and oppression in our present time. Knowledge is the key here, armed with the right kind of knowledge; every child of God can walk out of bondage and oppression. The laws are different or modified to say the least now than they were during the days of Moses because Jesus who is the son of God bridged the gap between God and man and certain elements that were necessary then are no longer needed in this new law. For instance, when the children of Israel sinned, they needed a judge or a prophet to pray on their behalf, but it is not so today, every man can go to God for himself and plead his own case.

Being able to recognize the problem and applying sound knowledge to a situation is what I will be teaching in this book in addition to exposing the lies, heresies, doctrines, ways and modes of operation of the false prophets in our day. Pointing a finger is not as easy because the craftiness employed by these agents of darkness is extremely fine, very subtle most times and very cunning even the very elect of God are being deceived.

Having taken the time to study these situations closely, being bound myself for over eleven years, by these false teachings, false doctrines and false prophets, I can boldly declare that I have been liberated by God, of course and ready to help other Christians who are bound or may have been bound like I was. Also to share with them what I learned on my journey and show them the path to a victorious Christian life as I know it. We can all live the life which God has called us to live and it is perfectly ok to desire that life. I implore you to open your heart and your mind as you read on, ask God to enlighten the eyes of your understanding, give you the ability to discern correctly and show you a way out of any stronghold that maybe weighing you down.

God bless you!

CHAPTER TWO

INIQUITIES OF THE LAST DAYS

Jesus said in the last days, iniquities shall abound and the love of many shall wax cold Matthew 24:12. When God destroyed the first world where Noah first lived in, it was because of wickedness. Every thoughts and intents of man's heart was that of wickedness, God also destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah because the people where extremely wicked in His eyes. The level and extent of wickedness in our world today is not lower than it was in the days of Noah, but higher to say the least. We live in a world where wickedness is justified, a world where sexual immorality has become a norm, a way of life. A one night stand is socially accepted and even celebrated. Marriage holds no importance or even significance, it is reduced to just a contract used to stealthily obtain other people's wealth.

Families are in disarray, mothers seducing daughter's husband, fathers and sons having sexual intercourse with their daughters and sisters respectively. Children disowning parents and vice versa. Child abuse, spouse abuse and abuse of the elderly all abound. No peace in the hearts of many, people live in fear and panic every day. Hatred, greed, jealousy, pride and malice are the order of things, everyone trying to outdo the other in wickedness, gratifying their lusts with murder, torture, rape and so many other gruesome acts.

These are the physical wickedness that we all see and hear about, how about the spiritual wickedness which no one speaks of? The act of spiritualism that many people are ignorant of and are mostly too scared to learn anything about. They believe if you leave the devil alone, he too will leave you alone. That is the most ignorant statement ever made; the truth is the devil will never leave you alone until you're utterly destroyed. People that make these statements "leave the devil alone..." are they themselves firmly bound by demons and they believe the troubles in their lives are seasonal or God's doing. In illustration, an Island like Trinidad which I've found to be covered with extreme wickedness serves as a perfect example in this case. In my opinion, 90% of the residents are involved in spiritual wickedness which has now become a way of life for them. The voodoo priest and the witch doctors advertise their practices in the daily newspapers, stating the type of bondage they can create in the lives of the victims. A place where shopping or going to offices might be a hassle because most shop and office owners have encountered demonic spirits and released demonic forces in their environ to "protect" their businesses and by "protect" means compelling customers to patronize them and also return in future whether or not they are satisfied with the product or services provided. A place where paying rent for an apartment is a hassle because most landlords/landladies spiritually bind the "good" or "productive" tenants so they are unable to leave if they wanted to and keep them constrained for as long as needed until they are dried out. A place where working for an employer might be detrimental to ones success because certain employers bind the "good" or "productive" employees and tie them to their company, preventing them from working elsewhere, keeping them in the same position with the same crappy salary for years and years, destroying their progress. A place where demonic spirits are let loose in the vicinity; a place where even the animals are possessed, dogs gruesomely attack people, even mauled grown, hefty individuals to death. Ritualistic killings of children even adults, performed by political figures, people of authority and even the neighbor next door. Love portions prepared as freely as juice, spiritually manipulating the emotions and sexual desires or even sexual preferences of others. Unexplained phenomenon, infirmities, sicknesses and diseases attack victims with no logical medical explanation, strokes and diabetes has become a curse in people's lives, always leading to the worst form of affliction. Most have no compassion for humanity and express the very nature of wickedness, destroying one another as a way to gain financial or material increase. These are just a fraction of the kind of atrocities that are wrought via spiritualism or spiritual wickedness in a place like Trinidad.

This is the world we live in today, a world where showing kindness to a stranger can be detrimental to you, wickedness everywhere. So why hasn't God destroy this world as yet like He did Noah's? Are we so special that God turns a blind eye to the intense wickedness today?

2 Peter 2... 4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;

6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

7 And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked:

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;)

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto the day of judgment to be punished:

There is a set time! God vowed never to destroy the whole world again (by water that is) after He destroyed the whole world and spared Noah and his family, however the wicked shall pay for their works. After the coming of Jesus Christ the son of God, the law of God was renewed and improved. God's grace covers the whole earth and salvation is available to every creature. As far as God is concerned, the whole world has been atoned for; every man has been delivered from destruction. It is the man who dies without accepting this price paid on his behalf that will have to make atonement for himself and that is a price he can never pay up. God will not destroy this world until His elect is separated and removed and judgment pronounced on the wicked, then this world as we know it will be destroyed and a New Jerusalem shall be formed.

CHAPTER THREE

Having explained the level of wickedness carried out in the world, children of God are confronted with this daily, surrounded by it and even forced to compromise their values and beliefs. When it becomes unbearable, there should be a safe place where God's children or even peace-loving individuals can find solace and get a break from the rumbles of this wicked world. Now that place is "the church", as we know it. But the devil did not spare the church, it has been a target ever since King Solomon first built God's temple. God's children go to church for exhortation, comfort, admonition and protection, but it is the very place where they are afflicted the most. They go to church and in a matter of a few months, their condition is much worse than it was before they began attendance, they are inflicted, destroyed, defrauded, bound, gagged and deprived, all in the name of God. This is done very subtly that the victims are themselves unaware of their plight. The laws which God gave His children in regards to worship and service, has been perverse by the devil and used as a weapon, creating opportunities to destroy God's children.

All of these are possible because the so called "Pastors" or "Bishops" or "Priests" or "leaders" who are themselves agents of darkness, sent to kill, steal and destroy just like their father the devil.

This distinctiveness is by no means absolute to all churches in the world but I dare say it is to most churches. Again, using the Island of Trinidad as my illustration, it is my opinion that over 90% of the active churches in Trinidad are run by agents of darkness, calling the name of God but destroying lives in the process. A few churches there are Godly, led by "Pastors" filled with the Spirit of God, having the light of God shinning on them, truly helping people and healing lives. Even so, there are other churches all around the world today that are truly godly and saving lives. The key to distinguishing between the godly and the ungodly is knowledge, understanding and of course by the help of the Holy Spirit who'll open your eyes to see clearly.

In this chapter, I'll define the "False Prophet" and also explain some of their common gimmicks they use in their ploys to destroy.

FALSE PROPHETS

Matthew 24... 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many...

11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12 And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold...

23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

25 Behold, I have told you before.

26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.

27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be...

2 Peter 2:1-3... 1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you...

The Bible is full of warnings about the comings and actions of false prophets and false teachers and most Christians are aware of these sayings. Perhaps, it is believed that these false prophets and teachers will appear with horns on their heads or with a sharp pointy tail or maybe with red eyes that will definitely raise an alarm that they are not of God. These are all perceptions that are unreal; let us start by defining a false prophet...

2 Corinthian 11... 13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

A false prophet is basically an agent of darkness masquerading as a minister of light targeting the children of God, with the sole interest, mission and purpose of causing destruction and death. They are driving as many of God's children to condemnation, destroying the lives of many, causing death to many and leading people astray, away from God. They are tactful, poise, good looking with a kindlier personality. They have a great persuasiveness about them and a good sense of direction, solid on their decisions. They come with the ability to perform signs and wonders ranging from detailing past events of your life never spoken off to healing the sick and raising the dead. They are equipped with demonic forces and demonic spirits that research their targeted areas and persons. They also conform pleasantly to the people around them, tell stories of themselves and missions that are greatly accepted by the target; blend in with them nicely and become a part of them but also claim to have something that they all need. They also seem to have this "amazing grace" working for them generously, in no time they get all they need, a church venue, a home, a car or whatever their needs are, tailored to their work. Once accepted, they do things both spiritually and physically that helps or assists their members and environs, whether it is giving to the poor and needy, fasting and praying for people, always being there in time of need, giving a shoulder to cry on and being the rock and pillar of some lives. When people begin to depend on these false prophets and their hooks are safely fastened then all those beautiful attributes begin to drop off one after the other. Many times, these victims do not realize what's happening to them, they just keep on crying to God and expecting a change, when there's no change, they finally settle in their hearts that its God's work or choice not to help them. Some end up hating God because they did everything right but He never turned up to help them while some realize the fault is from the church or the Pastor but don't have a clue how to undo the damage, destruction has already set in.

GIMMICKS OF A FALSE PROPHET

2 Thessalonians 2:9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,

10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:

12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

The mission of a false prophet is actually made easy because the heart of man is constantly seeking for something that is better than the law of God. Their thirst for iniquity, lusts, sexual immorality, and greed, is usually a driving force to their destruction. Just as the children of Israel sought after Baal because they wanted more freedom to do wickedness, Christians today are seeking out churches that have slack rules and are willing to compromise, where iniquity isn't frowned upon and fornication is accepted as long as it's kept quiet. Also, because of the laziness of Christians now, most people want sermons, doctrines and scripture spoon fed to them, very few people are willing to search the scriptures for themselves and quite sadly most settle for the "preaching" that is most enticing. In the scripture above, God said because of their desire for unrighteousness, He blinded their eyes and gave them strong delusions that they should believe a lie. This is very evident in churches today where people justify (even using the Bible) their unrighteousness such as divorce, unmarried parents cohabiting, adultery, even spiritualism, use of mediums and enchantments.

The purpose of a false prophet is basically to steal, kill and to destroy. The acquisition of financial or material gain is a byproduct of their work and never their main target (will explain further as we proceed). In order to achieve their goals, they function in four levels of operation before their work is complete. These are: **SEDUCTION; CONNECTION; BONDAGE AND DESTRUTION**.

I'll discuss each of these levels in details...

LEVEL 1: SEDUCTION

This is the initial stage, whether the false prophet is new in the target area, trying to gain followers or already in business but trying to gain a new member. If new to a target area, they are ever so sweet, a solution to many problems. They spend their time enticing people, being the solution to many of their problems, the answer to their prayers. At this time, they actually do help people, they identify the needs of the people, provide them with financial or material help, or insights to their struggles and solutions that actually work. They are "the solution"! Their actions are tailored to their target audience so it ranges from financial assistance to healing the sick. They also teach the Word of God accurately and show the sweet side of God's promises that belong to His children gaining credibility and trust. On the other hand in the case of getting a new member, all they do is fulfill a need and present themselves as "the solution", someone who can be counted on in desperate times and what they offer in terms of their "gospel" or the church is the only way out to the good life. For someone who is in need, that is an easy sell once that need is meet, it has to be God sending His servant to help His people, right? Absolutely wrong! It is an agent of darkness taking advantage of a depressed situation or ones needs.

LEVEL 2: CONNECTION

Once they've gained the target's attention completely, they move on to the next level almost immediately because seduction only works for a short while and if there's something better that's presented out there, the target audience loses interests very quickly and moves on. So they work on keeping their audience fixated and that is by creating a spiritual connection which I describe as a "channel".

A spiritual connection can be formed by several means. There are the natural spiritual connections created by God such as that between a mother and her child, or between siblings. There are those that are natural but formed by man such as sexual connection and there are those that are unnatural but formed by spiritualists for the purpose of doing wickedness, using devices such as money, food, clothing, confession etc.

A channel is a conveyor created between two spirit beings, for instance, the channel created between a mother and her child can also be called a maternal bond but it is so much bigger than just a maternal bond. A mother is spiritually and physically intuits with her child, connected in such a way that if her child is imbibed with demonic forces, the mother would feel the same demonic presence in her spirit. A channel between a mother and a child simply put means easy commuting between both spirits, whatever evil is done to the mother can affect the child and vice-versa. Woe to the person who has a mother involved in spiritualism and witchcraft, one who is bent on destroying her own children. That is a difficult battle to fight unless the channel is completely cut off.

Having said that, false prophet seek ways to create channels between they and their targets, connecting directly to their victims and gaining all access into their spirits, leaving no reservation. These false prophets attain this by several means: The first and easiest way is to collect money directly from his targets whether through offerings, tithes or monetary gifts. Money owned is a witness, a representative of the owner and with money all sorts of demonic atrocities can be conveyed to the owner, the one who gave the money. These false prophets, enchants upon the money and use it as a connecting device to locate his victims spiritually. The use of money creates a temporary channel, definitely not as strong as a natural channel and hence has to be renewed ever so often or it fades away completely after a while.

Another means to create a channel is sexually, the false prophets seduce the ladies or men into homosexual or heterosexual intercourse. They influence and convince their subjects by several means from using love portions to sexual stimulants to a play of words, sometimes, they attain this by threatening their victims and even rape in some cases. A channel can be formed via this means because sexual intercourse is a joining of two bodies to form one and the meshing of two spirits where there is transference of spiritual attributes and an imprint on both party representing the other. The channel is formed via this imprint; it is stronger and more stable than that formed by money but not as strong as a maternal channel. The sexual channel can remain dormant for years but never goes away unless actively broken off.

Other means are out there but less effective as a single agent but powerful when used in conjunction. These include: Feeding - These foods and drinks are prepared with some spiritual devices and enchanted upon, also some demonic spirits are attached to it which are quite stubborn I might add and will most likely return even after casting them out (like casting a devil out of a demonic shrine). Once consumed, these devices and the demonic spirits begin to work from the inside out. They stand as a source or a receptor planted in the body which is connected to by the false prophet to promote certain manifestation. Receiving money from a false prophet can also work in this manner where the false prophet would invoke demonic forces into the money and once its accepted by the victim, that demonic force is released into the victim's spirit, creating a receptor which can be connected to or just afflicting the victim's body or manipulating circumstances concerning the victim's life.

Clothing: A piece of clothing is taken from the victim and used in demonic rituals because clothing which have been worn have the "presence" of the owner on it and that "presence" can be used to connect to the owner as well.

Confession: This can be done by means of divination that seems harmless. Mostly, these false prophets would ask their victims to make certain confessions that sound good and godly but are usually well crafted and are destructive. Or they coarse their victims in agreement, saying "Amen" to their enchantments against these victims who are completely unaware, agreeing to what they thought was a blessing pronounced but rather a curse they accepted. Accepting divination (foretelling ill tidings) by mediums, false prophets or any of these sorts opens one's spirit to the same demonic spirits these mediums or false prophets are influenced by and hence giving them access to manipulate the outcome of things. The use of mediums, even sorcery, may seem harmless, giving directions to life's journeys and so on but most of their predictions are of doom which almost always comes to pass. Little wonder!

So many other means and methods are out there by which a false prophet my use, these mentioned above are the very common ploys used. When these ploys are established and the channels are firmly in place, they are used to afflict, manipulate, destroy, bind, latch, leech, deprive and kill the victims. They also serve as a means to deposit different demonic spirits into the victims that begin to govern these victims and make their lives hell.

Another use of these channels created is "destiny exchange", where the false prophets extract the "goodness" or the "good fortune" of their victims until their souls is dried out and replaces it with destruction. As long as the victim stays connected to this evil, they never get what they need. Their lives would be full of failures and poverty while the connector gets more buoyant every day. In some cases where the victim is working hard to attain a goal, they never get to it but instead the connector gains the success. For instance, whatever money the victim is expectant of would never come, it would be plagued with bizarre shortcomings but the "connector" gets the money by unexplained means which they usually attribute to "God's blessings". It could be a car, or house, anything but it is always the same thing. And when that's done, these false prophets release demon spirits to reside and influence their connected victims. These demon spirits begins to work from the inside out, manipulating circumstances surrounding the victim and situations to always result in failure. Nothing they do turns out right no matter how brilliant they are or how wonderful their laid out plans are, it always ends in a disaster. Soon enough, these victims would have to pray and fast in order to achieve the smallest tasks, they are overwhelmed with disfavor and bad luck. An example of this instance: An evil woman in Trinidad, connected a channel to her neighbor's little daughter via snacks because she was envious of the mom whom she tried but failed to connect to, so she focused on the daughter. Just before Christmas this happened, as fascinating as it sounds, this evil woman who also has a little daughter got all the toys her neighbor's daughter was expecting for Christmas while her mom was plagued with bizarre limitations that hindered her from getting her daughter any toys for Christmas. None of the mom's family members were able to assist her, even the child's father was unable to send Christmas toys for his daughter even though him and the mom's family members were extremely well off and could afford to buy a million toys. P.S, This is not to be confused with covetousness where for instance a lady desire the belongings of her neighbor or maybe her neighbor's husband and she blames her inabilities or lack on spiritual channels created for destiny exchange. Not so!

LEVEL THREE: BONDAGE

This is the next level which is a lot more intense than creating channels; however it cannot be done without a channel in place already. Bondage simply means "slavery", modern day slavery where people are unable to make their own choices, do the things that they desire to do, marry whomever they choose, go where they want to go and just be free. This happen in spite of abundance of resources, it's just the inability to make progress regardless of their circumstances and this cannot be explained by logic because it is spiritual.

Once these false prophets have gained access into the spirits of the victims, they begin to manipulate their circumstances first of all and create a reason where the victim would have to seek the face of God for provision or deliverance. For instances, a woman loses her husband to another woman a few weeks after she started attending "the church" or a student gets expelled from school or an entrepreneur loses half his business or a worker loses his job and can't seem to find another. All these happening were bizarre to say the least as none of these victims envisaged these calamities. They were well situated but all of a sudden the rug was pulled off from under them and their whole world tumbled down. Of course, the false prophet is the first person they cry to, the one who encourages them to seek the face of God, be steadfast in their service to God, always be in "church" and sow seeds, God will definitely reward and restore. But that never happens; things only get worse from there. They are also put to work in "the church", given duties and responsibility they cannot relegate, and it keeps them firmly committed, tied to that organization.

After the manipulation has taken effect and these false prophets begin to see the chaos manifesting in the lives of their victims, they move in for the kill. They begin to plant destruction, hardship, failure, poverty and whatever darkness they want to see in their victims. These victims are spiritually weighed down, fenced in and of course drained of their progress via "destiny exchange"(explained above).They are further bound with chains, their hands or feet which usually is manifested as the inability to work (a job) or go out (visiting or work related), tormented by fear, their hearts are always anxious and apprehensive.

So generally in this situation, there are members of "the church" roaming about unaware of their circumstance, living in poverty and deprivation, lost their independence and most of their increase, confused and completely dependent on their "Pastor" or "leader" to survive but also completely invested and involved in the running of "the church" and the well-being of the "Pastor or leader" who is seen as god, even worshipped in some cases, whom no evil word should be spoken off. Oblivious of their plight, they carry on hoping for their evil day to end.

LEVEL 4: DESTRUCTION

This is the final level, a process of complete annihilation where the victim is rendered completely useless or even worse, killed. The first three levels are usually recycled or renewed, done over and over to keep the process fresh and active but destruction is the finale, done when the victim becomes problematic or no longer of use or completely dried out with no more substance, then they are discarded like a sack of rotten potatoes. The other three levels are destructive and eventually lead to death but the destruction of level four is somewhat different. It is not a process but a state of being, an end stage that almost always leads to physical and spiritual death. This is done in many ways...

Sickness/Disease - The victim is afflicted with an incurable disease, for example cancer, diabetes mellitus, stroke & paralysis. These are the most common afflictions used, none of these diseases are cured (except when fought off spiritually) and it usually takes a bizarre turn for the worse and almost always paint an unusual clinical picture. They just get sicker and sicker until they loose everything dear to them and eventually die.

Mental instability - The victims loses their mind and becomes irresponsive. They move around like hoboes, unable to make a living or even live. They don't present as schizophrenics or mental cases, just one who's lost his "mojo", his sense of survival, can't hear, can't think, can't increase or improve, unable to take care of himself or anyone else for that matter but in spite of that, he is very much involved in "the church" and gets involved in their activities but of course all responsibility previously given has been taken away by this level.

These are the two most common means of destruction used. Some other times, these victims are driven out of their communities or killed instantly. Victims killed instantly almost always died in a bizarre way; for instance, the woman was fine and in perfect health but suddenly while at home cooking, she screamed out in pain, held her stomach in anguish, slumped down and died. Autopsy report was inconclusive but rules out foul play. Or the victim was hit by a bus and nobody understands how it happened. Bizarre stories like this are quite common and accepted without questions.

CHAPTER FOUR

Having taken the time to describe some of the gimmicks of a false prophet, this should enable the Christian sport one when encountered. But it is still not as easy because these false prophets are very sly and may present with very convincing facades. Another major gimmick they use is the "play of words", twisting the scriptures to render it ineffective, making the Christian useless and open to demonic attacks. This group of false prophets can also be described as the False Teacher. I'll take some time to expatiate on these common heresies taught in churches and explain the truth to the best of my ability.

WHO IS A FALSE TEACHER

A false teacher is similar to a false prophet, their attribute and job description, intents and purpose are similar but the difference between these two is that a false teacher is gifted with a superb homiletics and a great ability to teach and exhort. They have a profound knowledge of the Bible, even understand it better that most people in their environs and with this, they are able to twist the scriptures very cunningly at points and areas where it becomes a heresy or ineffective to a Christian which in turn renders that Christian person useless, unguarded and open to spiritual wickedness and destruction and standing in rebellion with God. Here are some common teachings of a false teacher in today's world written below. I have written out the lies and deceptions as they are preached and taught, I've also written out the truth as I know it and the repercussions of imbibing these heresies. I believe every Christian should search the scriptures for themselves, know the truth not just because somebody told them and also apply the truth they've learned. Some of the "truths" I've written might seem difficult to understand but I implore you to take your time and read through it; make your own search and draw your own conclusions, the Holy Spirit will definitely open your eyes to see beyond your imaginations and inspire your heart.

FALSE TEACHINGS AND THEIR REPERCUSSIONS

**1. A PROTECTIVE FORCEFIELD** \- (Lies & Deceptions) There is a protective force field surrounding you as a Christian, once you are saved you're automatically protected from evil and should never be concerned what the devil or your enemies are planning against you because they can never get to you, as long as your "faith" is in action, your shield of faith puts out all the enemy's fiery darts...

Ephesians 6:16... 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

(Truth) - There is no passive protective force field covering a Christian that automatically repels demonic forces. In fact, being a Christian makes you an active target of demonic spirits. Protection is active... James 4:7... 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.

The act of resisting the devil is an active thing, God said He is with His children but we have to fight our battles. Just like King David, he was victorious and mighty in the eyes of many, he fought his battles every step of the way to his victory. As a Christian, you're regarded as a soldier, expected to fight. God did not put any demonic repellant on His children that works whether or not they are aware of it, He gave His Holy Spirit to work in and with His children and also His angels guard over them, which are ministering spirits. In Hosea 4:6, God said His children are destroyed because of the lack of knowledge. He also warned His children not to be ignorant of the devices of the wicked. Applied knowledge is what pulls you out of destruction and being cautious and prayerfully watchful is what protects you from the hands of the wicked. The wicked will definitely come out against you in different ways, shapes and forms, in different people, faces, circumstances and situations, the Spirit of God and the knowledge of God's word applied, together acts like a sixth sense and that can be described as a protective force field, but it is active! You'll see that devil before he comes close and by the wisdom of God, know exactly what to do, whether by destroying it or completely avoiding it on your path.

(Repercussion) - If God's children sit down and do nothing because they believe there is an active force field protecting them, they will be destroyed. Just like a soldier on the battle ground, equipped with every necessary weapon to fight and kill his enemies but instead he stands still doing nothing. That soldier would be destroyed in no time and that is how most Christians are today, they sit waiting for God to do this and that. God works in partnership with His children; you are involved in the "Getting". The world is a battle ground whether we like it or not, it is not a battle between God and the devil but a battle between God's children and the devil. The devil is the prince of this world and he will always be at loggerheads with God's children. We as Christians have been given all that is needed to defeat the devil which has to be applied on various battle grounds. The repercussions of applying this lie is that it exposes the Christian to attack because a Christian who knows how to fight would prove to be very problematic to the work of the false prophet.

(My Advice) - Wake up from the slumber of "a Christian never fights back". Jesus was not gullible like He is presented today. He was fierce, firm and stood his ground. He gave honor to whom it was due but showed no respect to those evil doers. Be vigilant, stand your ground and be firm like Jesus, know your surroundings and when ill tidings manifests in your life, destroy it. Learn to fight your battles, actively creating your own protective force field.

**2. WORKING OUT YOUR SALVATION** \- (Lies & Deception) God has given to His children all authority to change their circumstances and life, work out their prosperity, healing, protection, provision or whatever they desire. You don't need to ask God for anything because He has already provided everything you need so all you have to do is take it, apply it and enjoy life. Your prosperity, healing, victory, success and progress is in your hands, take what you need and show the world God is truly with you as evidenced in your life because a suffering Christian is an ignorant one, they haven't taken that which belongs to them as yet.

(Truth) God is the same God, yesterday, today and forever. The old testament of the Bible clearly shows God's character, His likes and relations toward man. That hasn't changed! God still watches over His children and it is an insult to God when His children are being taught to cut Him out. God gave Jesus, His son a name that is higher than any other name

Philippians 2:9-11... 9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

11 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

All authority in heaven and in the earth was given to Jesus, with that authority, Jesus commanded us to go forth preaching and teaching, using His name in prayer.

Mark 16:17... And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

God is the Father, the creator of the world; Jesus is His son whom He gave authority to function as King in the earth. God Himself isn't powerless now that He gave Jesus authority, God is still the King of kings and the Lord of Lords, Jesus functions under His authority. So why do we cut Him off and take responsibility into our own hands? He told us to come and reason together with Him

Isaiah 1: 18... Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD:

God is still in charge of our lives and it gives Him great pleasure when we commit our lives to Him, yielding completely. That way He navigates our path through this wicked world, avoiding destruction or evil people, living a truly victorious Christian life.

(Repercussion) When a Christian believes he is in charge of his circumstances and the good life is in his hands, he cuts God out unknowingly and his prayer life is filled with useless declarations that never come to pass. When things are going bad, naturally he believes he's not doing enough, not praying or fasting or sowing enough seeds and he doubles his efforts trying by his strength to change his life. When a man cuts off his own source, he's left with nothing but becomes a prey.

(My Advice) - As a Christian, God is your source and most importantly, He's your Father. Put Him first in EVERYTHING that you do. Ask for His help, guidance, wisdom, direction and He's more than able to do. In regards to the wonderful things He's given to His children (health, prosperity etc), you don't take it by declaring or confessing it into being, you take it by working in partnership with Him, having a relationship with Him, being in sync in one spirit.

**3. ONLY BABIES ASK GOD - (** Lies & Deceptions) Jesus told His disciples to ask the Father for anything they will...

John 16:24... Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.

He told them this because they were still suckling babes at the things of God. When you grow up, you stop asking the Father to give you; you assume responsibility and take that which the Father has given to you. Why ask God for something He's already given to you? Stop asking and start doing (funny thing is they never actually tell you how to start doing)

(Truth) It is God's good pleasure to give unto His children...

Luke 12: 32... Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

Jesus spoke to His disciples about asking God as they will; He was teaching them how to go to God directly, by themselves without the use of a medium. All they had to do was ask using the name of Jesus. After teaching His disciples this, He encouraged them to go ahead and ask God for whatever they will so their joy may be full. Asking God for what we will is a privilege we must exercise as God's children. Furthermore, it gives Him the access, permission if I dare say to influence our lives. God is not a hawk, neither is He a dictator, as much as He has the access into our spirits, He wants to be asked, invited in, chosen and accepted. And when we ask, we give Him that right to make changes in our lives, in our spirit or circumstances. People define Christianity as a way of life but I define it as a journey, every day you learn a little, uncover some truths bit by bits and walk hand in hand with our source. God never stepped aside for anybody else, He is still in charge.

(Repercussion) When we do not ask God, we deprive ourselves of "Divine intervention", the only spiritual manifestation would be demonic even though we're hoping and declaring a change to happen. This teaching limits the Christian, taking away the most powerful weapon he has to defeat demonic forces, rendering him useless.

(My Advice) Ask God for what you will, it is your right and a great privilege we have. Little troubles that bother you and stands as hindrances to your progress, ask Him to take care of it and enjoy His "Divine Intervention". When asking, be coherent and on point, speaking audibly.

**4. FAITH -** Faith is a wonderful necessary element of Christian living but it's being pelted as a currency in exchange for material gain.

(Lies & Deception) Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the title deed of an unseen reality... It is the evidence of things that you've called forth, which you already have but not quite in hand as yet. Using your faith is a very necessary aspect in your walk with God and if you can't make changes in your life using your faith, then you have to grow your faith, increase it and exercise it. If you want a new job, car, house or even get married, then put your faith to work. Use your faith to obtain the things you need and as your faith increases, you'd be able to do many mighty things in this life.

(Truth) - Without faith it is impossible to please God because whoever goes to Him must know that God is able to do and also a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him (Hebrew 11:6)... not out of religion or compulsion. Faith "is not believing" that God is and is able to do but it is KNOWING that He is, Just as you know your name or gender or day and night, it is an absolute fact with no room for reservations or doubts. Every man has been dealt the measure of faith (Romans 12:3), and man chooses whom or where to put his faith in. For instance, the Hindu's put their faith in idols, a patient prepared for surgery puts her faith in the surgeon, or one boarding a flight - the pilot; others put their faith in banks, schools, even jobs etc. etc. People put their faith in the ambit of our daily life whether it is deserved or not, every man has the ability to apply faith which is usually a bridge between the seen and the "yet to be seen". In Christianity, faith is for "now", however it doesn't work like magic or like an ATM card that gets you anything you want a sap. It is always by the guardians of the Holy Spirit, who works with us in partnership to reach a desired goal. For instance - A false teacher taught for many years how to apply faith in the area of employment. He said name it and claim it, after declaring and confessing the job as yours, go to the company for interview whether or not you've been invited, state your claim and be expectant because you'll get a miracle and of course , speaking in tongues while acting your faith. His members applied these sayings on a wide scale and many of them got thrown out of offices and banned from the respective companies. And when his members asked why it didn't work for them as preached, they were told their faith wasn't strong enough or big enough or they were in doubt and they needed to pray some more. More people applied this again after praying some more and still got thrown out of offices then he said the timing is decided by God Himself and if expectant, God will cause the company to call them at the right time. So they should keep confessing their faith. What a load of BS! Faith doesn't work like magic, if you desire a job in a particular company; the Holy Spirit will help you in a step by step manner, working in unison, in partnership with you. God doesn't work against a prescribed order, never in support of rebellion. He will never put you in a position that you are not qualified for no matter how much you desire it, beg or cry. He will never give the job of a surgeon to a nursing assistant instead He'll get that nursing assistant started on the process of becoming a surgeon on a step by step basis. In regards to getting a job, first He informs you of the requirements and arms you with the necessary information, helps you get qualified, sets up an interview, inspires your heart as to what is needed for the job, also He'll inspire the hearts of the interviewers, grant you the opportune time and give you so much grace and favor that it all works out swiftly and beautifully, leaving you grounded and firm in the company. The duration of time it takes depends on the individual and the circumstances surrounding them. God is not a thief and doesn't bless by stealing from others, like the case of a lady who was imposing on her friends, greatly inconveniencing them but claims that God is blessing her because all her needs are being met, at the expense of others. That is not God's blessing because He adds no sorrows to His gifts. The measure of faith dealt to every man can be exercised and strengthen but it is enough, you do not grow in faith!

Luke 17:5-10... 5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, we are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

In the scripture above, Jesus was talking to His disciples about living the godly life and they felt like they needed more faith to do what God required of them, so they asked Jesus to increase their faith. Jesus made them understand the size of the faith was irrelevant and also let them know that it's their call of duty to God and not for profit. In other scripture, Jesus scolded His disciple for having small faith or little faith, or no faith at all; never did He tell them to grow in faith or grow their faith. In

2 Corinthians 10:15... Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,

The only portion in the Bible that mentions "... _when your faith is increased..."_ was apostle Paul to the people of Corinth and he was implying about their faith in terms of belief and loyalty to God, he was talking about the work of the ministry and how they (the apostles) were able to stretch beyond measure to reach them with the gospel and how they'll continue to do so until their faith (their stance in Christianity) is increased. Jesus also mentioned great faith in several scripture, this does not necessarily happen after much exercise of one's faith, In fact Jesus marveled at such great faith some people expressed before Him, and without reservations they believed and took His Words and made it a part of their knowledge that could not be shaken. The stories of "The woman with the issue of blood, Luke 8:43-48" and the story of "the Roman centurion whose servant was dying, Matthew 8:5-13" are good references. Faith is an essential part of our Christian walk and Jesus admonished us to be like little children before God. Kid's express great faith in people, things and even God and it's a wonderful thing how a child trusts unreservedly.

(Repercussion) - A Christian who is pelting his faith as though it's a currency to get what's needed is only setting up for disappointment. He would be full of stories where he applied his faith today and got some results but tried it another time but got no result, heaping failures upon failures, and then he begins to wonder what he did right that he got results the first time, full of uncertainties. Unknowingly, his faith has been corrupted to a point where it is no longer in God but in his ability to get what he wants and in his confessions and efforts to recreate his world. So what is presented before God is a selfish man, full of his ambitions and greed, completely unacceptable to God.

(My Advice) – Your faith in God is very important; it should be unreserved like that of a child, you don't just believe but know that God is able. Your faith is not an ATM but a means by which you please God. Your faith does not give you what you ask for but God, He is the one who supplies your needs. Put your trust in Him and your faith in Him, knowing just as a mother is prescribed and engraved to protect and care for her child, so is He dedicated to love and care for you. He wants more for you and so much better than you could ever wish for yourself.

**5. SPEAKING IN TONGUES -** (Lies & Deception) Speaking in tongues is a gift to all of God's children, it is a language of God and of the angels that the devil does not understand, it helps you communicate with God without the devil listening in and by the help of the Holy Spirit, you'll pray according to God's will or speak the exact words that you ought to speak in prayer. Speaking in tongues builds you up, strengthens you, charges your spirit and emboldens you like a lion. It is paramount that you speak in tongues for several hours every day because this makes you alert and you can easily hear from God while speaking in tongues and also change your situations and circumstances for the better. It is the solution to every problem a Christian might face, when in trouble, just lock yourself up in your room, and start speaking in tongues for hours, by so doing, you're giving instructions to your angels to fix whatever trouble you're facing and by praying this way the Holy Spirit will help you chart your course, avoiding pitfalls and destruction.

(Truth) - When Jesus first spoke about "speaking in tongues" He was announcing the signs by which God's children after the new covenant can be identified

Mark 16: 17-18... 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The above scripture clearly states what a Christian after the new covenant is expected to do: Cast out devils; speak with new tongues; take up serpents (implying the destruction of demonic works); themselves preserved from deadly works and healing the sick. This is the job description of a Christian after the new covenant which of course includes preaching and teaching. When Jesus spoke of "speaking in tongues", He said..."they shall speak with new tongues..." stressing the "new tongues" Jesus did not specify this new tongues as an earthly language previously unknown to the Christian or a completely new non-earthly language that may sound like gibberish to the hearers. In

Acts 2:4-13... And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.

6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

7 And they were all amazed and marveled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galileans?

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born?

9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia,

10 Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes,

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, what meaneth this?

13 Others mocking said, these men are full of new wine.

The amazing thing about the above scripture is that all the men that were gathered in the upper room when they were filled with the Holy Spirit all dwelt in Jerusalem; they were all Galilean spoke Galilean. So when they were filled, the Holy Spirit gave them utterance to speak in different languages (which they possibly didn't know how to speak beforehand). That's why the men outside marveled because they could hear so many different, native dialect spoken in the upper room and wondered how they did that not because they spoke a bunch of gibberish.

Moving along to the teachings of the Apostle Paul, In 1 Corinthians 12:1-14 **,** he was trying to explain to the believers the administration of spiritual gifts, some have the gifts of healing, while some have the gift of speaking with divers tongues while some others have the gifts of interpretation of tongues...

1 Corinthians 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:

Now "divers kinds of tongues" implying earthly language as seen in Acts 2 while the gift of interpretation is the ability to understand language not previously learned. As the Apostle continued his teaching in 1 Corinthians 13 **,** he announced that he speaks with the tongues of men and of angels(which wasn't particularly linked to "speaking in tongues"), also other things he can do but pointed out the fact that love was more important and complimented everything else. In 1 Corinthian 14: 1-33, he began to give details; first he encourages the believers to show love as well as to desire spiritual gifts - speaking in an "unknown tongue". This "unknown tongue" is used in communication to God alone not men while the "divers kind tongues" can be understood by men even spoken to men. The "unknown tongue" is not understood by men by any standard but in the realm of the spirit that "unknown tongue" is translated into mysteries which can also be described as phenomena or esoteric which are confidential spiritual doctrines reserved for God's elect. And by doing this the Christian is educated (edified) spiritually, and these mysteries spoken is for the benefit of the speaker only, he alone is educated by this desired knowledge, it is translated into his spirit and he just knows what is and what is not. That is why the Apostle Paul pointed out that it is better if one prophesied in church because that was for the education and benefit of everybody present whereas speaking in an "unknown tongue" was only for the education and benefit of the speaker himself. He went on in verse 4 to express his desire for the church to speak in tongues (divers' tongues and not unknown tongue) but have an interpreter so the church can receive spiritual education. In verse 13-14, he stressed that he who speaks with an "unknown tongue" pray that he (himself) may interpret that translated in his spirit because his understanding is unfruitful, so others can learn. Speaking in (divers) tongues is for a sign to the unbelievers just as Jesus said, as the Spirit of God gives the utterance, any Christian can speak in divers' tongues; While speaking with an "unknown tongue" is a spiritual gift to be desired by all Christian but not mandatory.

(Repercussion) - When God's children do not understand the difference between "unknown tongue" and "divers' tongues", they walk on in confusion. Speaking in "unknown" or "divers" tongues is not a weapon of war, you cannot cast out demons or address a situation by speaking in "unknown", or "divers" tongues if you do not understand the language been spoken, neither can you change circumstances by speaking, you only make the changes based on the information deposited in your spirit during the edification process while speaking. You certainly do not give instructions to God's angles by it. It is not paramount that you speak in tongues as a Christian and certainly not mandatory to speak for hours on end. These false teachings are geared to keep the Christian in a state of delusion, where they believe that speaking incomprehensible words is the death defying sword they need to fight their battles and defeat all demonic forces, leaving them ignorant which in turns leads to their destruction.

(My Advice) – Desire and ask God for the spiritual gift of speaking in "unknown" tongues, it will greatly help, open your eyes to many "truths" while speaking in "divers" tongues is for a sign to convince the unbeliever and you can ask for it when needed like during evangelism.

**6. MONETARY GIVINGS -** Giving to God, this includes TITHES, GENERAL OFFERINGS, SEED OFFERINGS AND FIRST FRUITS OFFERINGS.

(Lies & Deceptions) - Giving to God is giving in church and this shows your love for God. With tithes, it signifies a partnership with God, it is your way of showing Him that you are willing to walk with Him and parting with a tenth of all your increase is a wonderful sacrifice. God demands His children to pay their tithe and if they refuse, the devourer will devour all of their increase and God will take His tithe either way

Malachi 3: 8-12... 8 Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.

9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.

10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.

11 And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts.

12 And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.

But when they tithe willingly, God causes prosperity to abound with them and of course the devourer will be rebuked and their wealth will continue to increase

Proverbs 3: 9-10... 9 Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: 10 So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Tithing is mandatory for a Christian and should never be taken lightly because their prosperity is tied to it. Giving of Firstfruits is also a key element in your prosperity because you are acknowledging God as the reason for your success when you give Him the first and the best of all your increase. For instance, if you get a new job, your first salary belongs to God, He has a claim on it and He demands it. When you give this, it becomes holy and the rest, which is the lump of all your future salaries, will be kept holy, preserved and flourishing. This is the secret to everlasting prosperity. A seed offering is given when you have a specific need or request from God and by connecting that need to a seed in which you sow in church, giving it to God, and then by all means God has to respond and grant your request because you have demonstrated great faith in your giving. The more precious the seed is to you, the better accepted of God and of course better results. King David knew this so well, that's why he declared he'll never give to God that which cost him nothing.

2 Samuel 24: 24... 24 And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the LORD my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

So, that money you have lying in your bank account, it is a seed to change your life, besides, the ransom of a man's life are his riches... Proverbs 13:8 **.** In your general offering, propose in your heart what you'd like to give and then give with a joyful heart,

Luke 6:38... Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

So, as you give so you'll get back in return. Give wisely and receive wisely!

(Truth) - Why do we have to give to God in order for Him to bless us?

Tithe - God commanded the children of Israel in the Law of Moses to give a tenth of all their increase (remember, they were farmers and shepherds) to the **LEVITES.** God chose the tribe of Levi to serve in His tabernacle; He did not give them a portion of land,

Numbers 18:20-21... 20 And the LORD spake unto Aaron, Thou shalt have no inheritance in their land, neither shalt thou have any part among them: I am thy part and thine inheritance among the children of Israel.

21 And, behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tenth in Israel for an inheritance, for their service which they serve, even the service of the tabernacle of the congregation.

They were not allowed to farm or rear livestock or even go to war in most cases, their job was to look after God's tabernacle and God saw to their needs explicitly, He commanded His children from the 11 other tribes to give a tenth of their increase for the provision of the Levites.

Concerning the firstfruits, God demanded that the children of Israel to bring a sheaf (bunch) of the firstfruits of their harvest unto the priest, this was before they even entered into their promised land, He also gave them instructions on what to do with it...

Leviticus 23: 9... 9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:

11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.

12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf an he lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.

The topic of tithes and firstfruits is very vast and I will not cover it in details in this book. All of God's instructions to the children of Israel are clearly written in the books of Moses. The bottom line is... These practices have been abolished; the Law of Moses is no longer in effect. When there are no longer Jews or Greeks in the body of Christ

Galatians 3:28... There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus... Who then are the Levites currently being sustained by tithing? If these traditions spill into the new covenant, then the "Pastors" are the "Levites" in our world today, so they can receive these payments right? The only sustenance the Levites had was the tithes paid, they owned nothing and did nothing else but serve God, and they were even confined to the tabernacle environs. With the new covenant, God's tabernacle is now in our hearts, we minister to God by ourselves by our words and deeds, and giving a tithe to sustain a "Pastor" is un-necessary. In the New Testament, "tithe" was mentioned about three different times and that was in reference to the Pharisees and the leaders of the Jews acting in hypocrisy. The Apostles on the other hand never mentioned tithe or taught the believers to pay their tithes. They all stressed how the old law was lacking and taught believers the new way, that's why they had so many oppositions, which were mainly in Jerusalem. The Apostle Paul never mentioned tithing, instead he encourages others to work and earn enough to give just as he was doing so he wouldn't be a burden on his hosts. Giving of firstfruits is also obsolete along with the old law. God does not require of His children to do these practices any longer and definitely will not demand it. On the other hand, if you do decide on your own to give a tithe or your firstfruit, having understood the principals, go ahead, God will still accept it on your behalf, it is the same thing as you offering a bull without blemish on a self made alter, killing it and burning it on the alter for the remission of your sins. It might be accepted if done correctly but it is inadequate and un-necessary, unless it is a personal pact you make with God, promising to give a portion of your substance in appreciation. God has bridged the gap between Himself and His children; we don't have to work out our righteousness by our physical actions anymore, God has given His righteousness as a gift to His children.

Giving a seed offering to connect to a need and hence facilitate God's response is absolutely perverse. This concept was derived from God's instruction to the children of Israel, on what type of offering was required for certain situations or circumstances or even for different types of sins. Now this practice has been twisted to suit greed. You never have to or ever need to appease God Almighty in order for Him to help you! The thinking of giving to God for Him to give back to you is an insult unto God and a hindrance to a Christian.

Giving a general offering in church is fine but not by compulsion,

2 Corinthians 9:6-12... 6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:

9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.

10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness ;)

11 Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.

12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

Whatever you do or give for the sake of the gospel will always be multiplied back unto you. Giving a general offering in church is un-blamable because the reasoning behind it is to facilitate the spread of the gospel and the work of the ministry. Giving is with knowledge and of course with joy, it is for the spread of the gospel.

(Repercussion) These teachings are grounded in the hearts of Christian under the influence of false prophets; it is so delicious and inspiring that even the genuine Pastors are imbibing it too. Creating a steady flow of giving from you ensures the spiritual channel connected to you is never broken. Each time you give money, these monies are used to channel you over and over again and the more you give, the stronger these channels get, till they become an edifice in your spirit and swallows up everything else. Giving the firstfruit offerings that is requested at the beginning of a new year is particularly detrimental. It is most damning as it is used to tie and frustrate any future progress of the victims all year long. Another reason for these lies is of course for financial and material gains for the false prophets and their hosts of agents. God will never instruct you to give what you don't have and never ask you to give what you need. For instance: your house rent money, or food money or tuition money. He already made that provision, why give it back to God to get more, is it a trade off? He also would never tell you to give what you don't have but can afford. For instance, a young lady starts a new job where she is required by her employers to dress in proper suits, she can't afford this as yet but saves up for it for a little while. Now when the money is available to her, God will not tell that young lady to go ahead and use the money to buy suits for her Pastor's wife instead of herself (in my opinion). That kind of ministering ("give me what you have and God will give you more...") from a Pastor is demonic!

(My Advice) – Giving in church is a good habit and a good thing, furthering the spread of the gospel via your finances is a splendid thing to do but you draw the line when a Pastor seeks to make merchandise of you. If you have the habit of paying your tithe as I do, it's good as long as you understand the principal behind it and not have unreal expectations to get in return, same with your firstfruits. I am completely against sowing a seed to make God do something for you, it is misguided and perverse. Giving an offering to say "Thank You God" or to meet a need in the church is also a splendid thing to do. If you are attending a "demon church" (explained in chapter 5), its best you keep your money to yourself.

**7. ASKING GOD IN PRAYER -** (Lies & Deception) Never ask God for anything, just take whatever you want because He has made it all available to you. God put you in charge and only babies keep going back to "daddy" for help. Grow up and become an "adopted son", handling your father's business. **Asking according to the will of God just means asking in the name of Jesus and in faith, nothing else is needed**.

(Truth) God is still in charge, He never gave His children the world, in fact instructed His children not to love this world 1 John 2: 15-17. He gave Jesus all authority and with that authority Jesus commanded God's children to go forth and preach the gospel, foretold specific signs that identifies the Christian under the new law...Mark 16: 15-18 **.** God works in partnership with His children, influencing their spirits, teaching and guiding them until they are in unison with Him, having the same thoughts, voice and characteristics, walking in oneness. Being infused together that He is your only necessary consult in life, asking and gaining knowledge for everything, your life and this world at large. Asking according to His will is paramount to being heard and the mystery of God's will have been made known to His children. Ephesians 1... 4 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;

8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;

9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:

10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:

11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

God's will is for His children to remain holy and blameless before Him in love. In the fullness of time, He will gather together in unity all things in Christ. The word "Christ" here is an umbrella that comprises of His son Jesus (the person of Jesus), His word, His salvation, His anointing and His Holy Spirit. Everything He does now is geared towards that day when His righteous ones are completely separated from darkness and His will is in relation to this. So when you ask something according to His will simply means asking for something that works with or facilitates the process of "His gathering together". Remember, Christians are workers together with Christ 1 Corinthians 3:9; and He expects that work to be our primary focus while what we eat, wear or where we sleep are His focus and duty to provide. Asking in faith and in the name of Jesus are necessary and specific instructions on how to pray and but not the "Will" of God. Asking in accordance to the will of God is simple, as long as it is good for mankind, your world, the furtherance of the gospel of Christ and done in love, you're good to go!

(Repercussion) Believing you are mature enough to handle your father's business while cutting out the most important link which is your source keeps you in a state of rebellion. Rebellion against God which can only bring disaster because you are left unarmed, unprotected, cut off from your source and widely open to the wiles of the devil, feeding off you and your substance. For those who are taught to ask for anything and everything according to their lusts are only being set up for more failures and disappointments.

(My Advice) – Always ask God for your desires and for direction in life. Being in Christ, your heart, thoughts and desires should always be good for you, your world and the furtherance of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Asking out of selfishness is a reproach.

NUMBERS 8 AND 9 ARE INTERTWINED...

**8. CONFESSIONS, DECREES AND DECLARATIONS -** (Lies & Deception) God has made His children kings and priest unto Him... Revelations 5:10 **.** A king decrees and declares, he speaks what he wills and it is established. God has made His children kings so they must decree and declare whatever they wish for, change unfavorable circumstances, call forth things that they need and change their world, only by their declarations. Start declaring change in your life, keep saying it, don't stop talking it, for as long as you need changes, keep speaking it and soon enough, there will be a change because your words have power, where the word of a king is there's power. Also, declare the word of God in your life, speak God's word back to you and watch yourself grow and increase on every side.

(Truth) - Words are vehicular instruments, it's not seen but its effects can be felt. It is spiritual, a driving force in the realm of the spirit, more effective than a physical force. The strength of a word spoken is greatly related to the authority of the speaker in both realms, spiritual or physical. An agent of darkness enchants using man's authority influenced by the devil while a Christian declares using the authority associated with the name of Jesus which is the highest authority in heaven, earth and hell. If a Christian understands this principal, he can make changes by speaking, true, but the question is... to what extent? What can a Christian change by speaking and how? Calling forth money or a job or a husband/wife or a house or a car isn't scriptural but a demonic practice. Where are these things coming from? It's been called forth from where or from whom? Or is it going back to the enemy's camp to take that which the devil stole, what did the devil steal from you? Are your resources in God so limited that you have to "go back" to the devil to take your joy or prosperity or health etc.?

Ephesians 3:20... Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us

According to the power that works in us, that is the key. Not every Christian has the power of God working in them and this is due to selfishness and or demonic practices and doctrines they conduct whether knowingly or unknowingly. The confessions or declarations of a lifeless or powerless Christian is as good as a dog barking in an empty room, absolutely ineffective in changing circumstances. But when a child of God who is in unison with God makes a declaration using the name of Jesus, it is as though God made the declaration Himself. It is not about selfish desires or commandeering material possessions, but used in battle to defeat the enemy or in building up that which was broken, making changes according to the will of God, using precise and understandable words, knowing exactly the change that's needed. Self declarations such as: I am blessed, the wisdom of God is working in me, I have the life of God in me; greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world, I can do all things through Christ etc. etc... These are all empty words in their ability to cause a positive change, it's like saying "I am a Christian"; it is a fact which doesn't really change anything maybe for the purpose of description or identification. Saying the wisdom of God is working in you wouldn't cause the wisdom of God to work in you automatically, it is not magic. If you desire wisdom, ask God to give you wisdom and He would.

(Repercussion) Confessions, declarations and decrees applied inappropriately are ineffective; it only sets the Christian up on a wild goose chase. It keeps them busy, giving them hope that there's light at the end of the tunnel. They are led to believe that in spite of their situation, change is sure but it all lies in their own hands. They try to make the changes they want, speaking it into reality, claiming and commanding items to appear as though it's magic. This goes on for years, their eyes blinded; they are lead like sheep to the slaughter. The power of hope is fierce; it can actually hold someone in captivity for years. Blinded by the hope of a better future, these victims see nothing else, holding their breath, standing on their toes, awaiting the beginning of the good life spoken off and promised, but all they get is more and more destruction.

**9. COMMANDING CIRCUMSTANCES -** (Lies & Deception) Whatever situation you find yourself in that you do not like, just command a change. God spoke the world into creation, by His words, the earth was made, God made you in His likeness and gave you His Holy Spirit, so you can create your world, command things into being and control circumstances around you.

(Truth) - How exhausting and chaotic it would be if every Christian was left to control their lives and circumstances. God gave His children His own Spirit to dwell in them, that is God Himself dwelling in His children, so speaking a world into being is by Him. God is not the author of confusion, the devil gained control over this present world through Adam's insubordination to God, hence the advent of intense wickedness and corrupt world systems. God did not override the devils authority over the earth, destroy the devil and take back the world. He is a God of order and principal, everything has a reason and a purpose, and He has a process and timing. The devil with his new authority had set different demonic forces that rule over different nations, forces that may over power yours if not knowledgeable enough. A good example is the story of Daniel, where God's messenger angel sent to him was withheld for twenty-one days by the demonic forces ruling over the land of Persia Daniel 10, particularly verse 13. So a Christian to command and change circumstances in a nation, they should have jurisdictional authority over that nation. Every Christian is expected to pray for the nations of the world, they are the restraining force of evil in the world, they hinder the works of darkness, whether passed into law, or carried out by wicked men or manipulated into society, standing together they can put a stop to it, mostly by prayers and that is excellent. But for a man to have jurisdictional authority over a nation, that authority has to be bestowed by God, where his words causes changes in every corner of that nation. In the case of changing a negative circumstance in one's life, it's not as easy as confessing or just commanding. Understanding is required and the knowledge of the root of that unfavorable circumstance is absolutely necessary before a change can be elicited. For instance; a previously health man all so suddenly fell ill with an undiagnosed ailment that presented with terrible bone pains. For him to change this situation is not by commanding or confessing healing for his body, but to find out the root of this sickness first of all. As far as I know sicknesses are caused by: 1. destructive physical habits such as smoking, alcoholism etc. etc, 2. destructive spiritual habits such as malice, bitterness and anger. 3. It is also caused by spiritual manipulation causing the body's organ or tissues to malfunction such as cancers, asthma, and auto immune disorder 4. By demon spirits infested in one's body that causes adverse reaction which usually go undiagnosed because of the bizarre array of symptoms. Each of these are tackled differently, its either this patient changes his bad habits, erases bitterness from his heart, or cast out devils from his body and **command** his organs to begin to function properly. Knowledge is a key factor here and also applying the right principals.

(Repercussion) It is the same as confessions, sending Christians on a wild goose chase. They are given the frame of the word but not the key to unlock the truth and reap the benefits. They apply the wrong principals, commanding situations they have no understanding off that often worsens and deteriorates until there's no hope left. Now and again these false prophets add some more schemes and lies that encourage the victims to do more. For instance: "... first you were commanding situations using the name of Jesus, now say "i command a change in my health by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in me"..." Trouble is, most of these victims do not have the power of the Holy Spirit at work in them, so it's just talk. Secondly, commanding situations in this manner, excluding God is also an act of rebellion, making yourself God and that always brings down destruction to you.

(My Advice) – As a Christian, you'll have to change circumstances and situations for the better because we're surrounded by darkness in this world. You don't make these changes by "calling forth" things but by speaking cognizable words backed up by the authority in the name of Jesus. In my understanding, the ability to make changes is a growth process, as your knowledge and confidence in God's word increases, your words become more effective. By the guidance of the Holy Spirit, you'll know how to change various situations, certain words to speak to create certain changes. This topic is not as clear cut as "yes" or "no", not as simple as calling forth money and it appears. If you need a change that has to be made by your confessions, ask God to show you what to do and He'll fill your heart with the right words to speak forth.

**10. SIN -** (Lies & Deception) Sin is a transgression of the law and when there is no law, there is no sin. 1 John 3:6; 1 John 5:18 says anyone who is in Christ cannot sin because God abides in him. Sin is anything that is done without faith or done without love; it has become personal in the New Testament. What is a sin for one man might be ok for the other man, God is the judge not man, so don't make assumptions based on people's actions, they may just be walking in God's will especially if they are saved, they cannot sin! Find out what is sin for you and refrain from it, put the word of God to work in your life and sin will be a thing of the past.

(Truth) Sin is a transgression of the law

1 John 3:4... 4 Whosoever committed sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

The Law of Moses was replaced by the law of love in the New Testament; hence sin in the New Testament is the transgression of the law of love. God is still the same; He will not behold sin that is why He's written His word and His will in the walls of our hearts. We know what is right and wrong, whatever is done without love is sin period! Whether it is stealing or murder or telling lies, it is sin. It is not personal or varying from person to person; it begins from the heart, thoughts, intents and then actions. Selfishness is the opposite of love, any selfish act or anything done with a selfish intent is sin. For instance: A woman is a voluntary worker in church and the only reason she's working in church is because she fancies the pastor and wants him to observe her and perhaps date her, so all her work in the church is circled around the pastor ensuring he see everything she does. Now that is a sin because her intent is selfish and not of God even though she's working in church. It is difficult to show love to others especially when they are wicked to you; you may be seen as naive or ignorant, taken advantage off or even disregarded, but the Apostle John said whoever is of God sins not because the love of God and the seed of God dwells in him...

1 John 3... 5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.

7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. 8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

9 Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.

10 In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.

11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.

12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hates you.

14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. 16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren

If you have the love of God in your heart, there's no room for selfishness, you cannot go against love and hence cannot sin. You do things that are good for others, your environments and for you too. You wouldn't scam someone out of their money and justify it and you certainly wouldn't cheat, steal or lie, these are the foundation or origin of all sins.

(Repercussion) If sin is personal, then continue in your lusts until God tells you to stop! This creates an avenue to separate God's people from God. They continue in rebellion and iniquity living the life of a heathen while confessing Jesus Christ as Lord. It's all a bundle of contradictions, when Christians continue in this manner, their eyes become dim and their hearing dull and soon enough they wouldn't know the difference between the works of God and the doctrines of demons, having eyes but not seeing, having ears but unable to hear, tossed through and fro until their souls are completely destroyed.

(My Advice) – Our conscience is the voice of our spirit and if you have the Holy Spirit living in you, it is also His voice. Whatever your spirit is against, you're better off not doing. Sin is the same right from the days of Adam till today, it hasn't changed. It begins in the heart and intent whether or not the action was completed, it is still sin.

**11. LUCK –** (Lies & Deceptions) Luck is a game of chance and a child of God is not a child of chance. God has predestinated His children... Ephesians 1: 3-7;

Romans 8... 29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.

30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.

He knows exactly where you'd be or go or do and what He has in store for you. He knows your beginning and your end; nothing happens to you by chance and attributing an occurrence to the working of "luck" whether good or bad, is the same as giving glory to luck instead of to God. Leave nothing to chance, take control of your situation walking in God's plan for your life and command the type of outcome you desire to see. Declare you are blessed and highly favored instead! ... (What a bundle of contradictions)

(Truth) - Luck means good fortune, success as well as fate. It is a word used to describe the working of events we usually have no control over. Some say its chance, others believe its karma but I believe it's the influence of God's grace over the earth. God released His grace over the earth which passively brings about goodness in the world and in people's life and the word "luck" connotes that effect. I believe nothing happens by chance and the children of God are set on their path to fulfilling their destiny but their decisions are still based on their will, God never contradicts or imposes on our will. Wishing someone "good luck" is saying good fortune and success be with you and that is absolutely fine especially if the well wisher is speaking with a superior authority, spiritually that is, because they will be declaring good fortune into your world (events concerning you). Favor on the other hand means preferential treatment or kindness, it is specific and in two folds. 1. God favors man and 2. Man favors man. So when you desire favor, be specific the type of favor you seek. Going for a job interview, you need good luck to cause a favorable circumstance concerning the interview and favor with your interviewers to add a special touch of kindness and preferential treatment toward you. Asking God's favor has to do in relation with you seeking His face for a specific request and you requiring His favor concerning that request.

(Repercussion) Being forbidden to wish themselves a good fortune is a way of ensuring that these victims remain in a state of impoverishment, physically, financially, mentally and spiritually. In place of their good fortune, they have demonic spirits of misfortune, "bad-luck working in their world, in the circumstances and situations concerning them and their life as a whole. They fail at everything, simple ventures become difficult for them, they suffer disfavor with men, women and even children and are rejected where ever they go. Of course these false prophets attribute these difficulties as a sign that the world is against them just as it was against Jesus and the Apostles, that the devil is resisting them, stopping them from making progress or preaching the gospel and they have to stand their ground, praying always. And these victims pray and pray to accomplish the smallest tasks, they repel good things and good people, never getting a break from hardship which only gets worse until all bridges are burnt and there's nothing left.

(My Advice) – You can never go wrong with "Good-Luck". Always invite good fortune into your life.

**12. DELIVERANCE –** (Lies & Deceptions) A Christian cannot be delivered, delivered from what or from whom? Jesus has paid the price and God delivered His children from the domain of darkness and translated them into the kingdom of His dear son.

Colossians 1... 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

So how can a Christian who is more superior to the devil need deliverance from the devil? Jesus defeated the devil in hell and took away from him the keys of death and of hell. Being saved, you defeated the devil in Jesus, which means you too defeated the devil so why are you seeking deliverance from the one whom you already defeated? It is impossible for the devil to afflict you if you are of God, talk to whatever adverse situation you face and it will definitely listen. Ignore the devil for he is not a factor, learn the word of God, and put it to work, speak it forth and live victoriously. Concentrate on the things that God has given to His children, live like the king that God has made you to be and take your place as an heir of God.

(Truth) Deliverance which otherwise means casting out devils and breaking the forces of darkness at work in one's life, liberating one from spiritual bondage and destruction. This is one sure way of messing up the work of the false prophets, so they discourage their victims from seeking deliverance, labeling it as useless and ineffective, or an insult to God and the salvation He gave us through Jesus. Truth is a Christian can be bound by devils even though he defeated the devil "in Christ", the application of knowledge to the right circumstance is the key to walking in victory. Casting out devils is every Christian's right and it is absolutely ok to call upon the help of an elder; a minister or brother/sister in Christ more knowledgeable than you; to liberate you from the clutches of darkness. God gave several gifts to the church for the building and education of the church, some people are more skilled in certain areas than others but they are all there for the perfecting of the saints for the work of the ministry; for the education of the church. Ephesians 4: 11-12. Jesus casted out devils from countless people and that was the first sign He spoke off in identifying God's children. All through the epistles, the Apostles taught on how to destroy the works of the devil, not to be ignorant of his craftiness or be led by his deception. Never ignore the devil because he is not sleeping, he appeared to Jesus several times at Jesus' point of need, at His point of weakness, to tempt Him and when the devil was sure that none of his temptation would work, he began to influence the hearts of wicked men to kill Jesus. So the devil is dangerous if ignored particularly if you live in a demon infested area. Living victoriously in Christ is learning to stand your ground, daring to be who God says you are, fighting your battles by your words, applying wisdom, knowledge and understanding to your unique circumstances, situations and your world.

(Repercussion) Deliverance hampers the works of the false prophets, if you are taught never to go for deliverance then that guarantees the success of their bondage and destruction set upon you by the false prophets because no matter how bad things get for you, you'll always seek to fix it by confessions or by doing some other empty venture they set you up for disappointment.

(My Advice) – If you have demonic manifestations beyond your understanding, do not hesitate to seek help from a leader or elder or even brother or sister that you know is godly and more skilled in that area than you. Deliverance here is not the use of candle, holy water, salt, cards etc, but verbally casting out demons using the authority in the name of Jesus, reversing adverse situations and commanding/changing circumstances by one with authority (as explained above).

**13. RECREATED HUMAN SPIRIT –** (Lies & Deceptions) **-** Being "Born-Again" means being saved;

1 Corinthians 5:17... 17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.

When you are Born-Again, you are a new creature that never existed before, your spirit has been re-created, you are now a new type of being, first fruits of His creatures **James 1:18.** The old you have passed away, together with your old life and habits. Your spirit has been reborn even though you may feel no change in your body. So walk in the newness of life; put away old habits, now you have Christ dwelling in you, He will help you live the good life which God has called you to live.

(Truth) There is no such thing as a re-created human spirit! God's work was finished from the foundation of the world,

Hebrew 4:3... Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

He never returned to the drawing board to recreate man again. Jesus ushered in the new covenant where God lives in man, bridging the gap between God and man. Being Born-Again simply means being born of the Spirit John 3: 6-7;

1 Peter 1:23... 23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.

Jesus died, went to hell, defeated the devil in hell and took away the devil's authority over man, which he commandeered from Adam. God raised Jesus back to life as a new creature, no longer bound by the devil or even by laws of Moses. When a man accepts the sacrifice Jesus paid on the cross, he becomes saved from destruction, hence the term "saved" used to describe Christians today. He becomes a new creature, different from Moses or King David because now God Himself dwells in man through Christ and the old covenant, the old way of life are passed, all gone and now the advent of a new order. Being Born-Again is the awakening of your spirit to the presence of God imbibed in your spirit and the infusion of the word of God in your spirit. This was prophesied by the prophet Jeremiah in

Jeremiah 31:33-34... 33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; after those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people.

34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.

Once a man accepts the price Jesus paid on his behalf, he needs to be baptized and not the other way round. Baptism before believing in Jesus and accepting his sacrifice is as good as taking a bath and has no spiritual significance because baptism in the name of Jesus is accepting and identifying with the death, burial and the resurrection of Jesus for your sake.

(Repercussion) Lifeless Christians go about believing they are the new superman in Christ. Nothing can touch them or harm them and they have total control of the world. They are blinded by this illusion that they cannot see their destruction.

(My Advice) – Salvation is active that is why the Apostle Paul taught his followers to work out their salvation. Believing and accepting the price Jesus paid for you is the first step which should be followed by baptism and then the process of renewal. Your way of life after you have been baptized is a choice you make and your growth process is directly linked to your choices.

**14. THE BLOOD OF JESUS -** The blood of Jesus was shed on the cross of Calvary for the remission of our sins.

(Lies & Deceptions) In the old testament, when the children of Israel offered a sacrifice for the remission of their sins, the sacrificial lamb was slaughtered and some of the blood was sprinkled on the alter while some was presented to God in the inner room, the most holy place of the "ark of the covenant" the tabernacle of God. This can only be done by the High Priest; he alone can present the blood to God for atonement. Jesus is our High Priest, and He alone presented His blood to God the Father for atonement for the world, He alone has the right to handle the blood or present His blood. The price has already been paid, the blood has already been used and accepted and the atonement is complete. So Christians using the "Blood of Jesus" now is a waste of time, worse off, it is an act of sacrilege, desecrating the ancient and godly practice of sin offering. Using the blood of Jesus now to cover your house or money or for protection will bring you more trouble than you can imagine. If in need of protection, instead of covering yourself with the blood, just command situations to fall into place and declare protection on your life and everything will be ok.

(Truth) Jesus is our High Priest and He did present His blood to God the Father for atonement for the world. The difference between the sin offering in the Law of Moses and the sin offering presented by Jesus is... The Law of Moses is physical and the atonement made was seasonal or for a little while until the children of Israel sinned again then they were required to make another sacrifice. The sin offering presented by Jesus is spiritual and everlasting...

Hebrews 10... 3 But in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of sins every year. 4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sins...

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.

11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins:

12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God;

13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool.

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;

17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

18 Now where remission of these is, there is no more offering for sin.

19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, 20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;

The "Blood of Jesus" is a cleanser and now we have boldness to enter the most holy place of God which was absolutely forbidden in the Law of Moses.

1 John 1... 6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

The act of cleansing is continual as stated in I John 1:7. The price for the atonement of the world has already being paid by Jesus and accepted by God the Father, any man who acknowledges this and goes back to God, his slate is wiped clean and he is accepted as the son of God but if he sins again, the cleansing process comes into effect

1 John 1-2... 1 My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous:

2 And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.

Jesus is the appeasement or the atonement for our sins and the sins of the whole world and this is done through "faith".

In Romans 3:24... 24 Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

"Through Faith in His blood" is what I'm pointing out here, like everything else faith is a fundamental part. The blood of Jesus working for us is through faith because physically we do not see, touch or smell it. We participate in the taking of communion not with the actual body and blood of Jesus but a symbolic gesture that affirms our partnership with Christ, being part of His flesh and His blood. Using the blood of Jesus is our right and it is expected but how to use it effectively is what needs to be learned.

Hebrews 12... 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.

25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:

26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.

27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.

28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:

29 For our God is a consuming fire.

The blood of Jesus speaks better things and His voice (through His blood) will remove everything that is shaken or made (things not made by "The Word") and these definitely include the workmanship of demonic forces. Sprinkling the "Blood of Jesus" or covering yourself with the "Blood of Jesus" is significant, it is one of the most active weapons of protection a Christian has because it breaks down forces, walls, limitation and shakable phenomenon that plague Christian in this present wicked world. Once applied, the "Blood of Jesus" presents a seal over your money, business, job, car, and clothing even, making it impossible for demonic forces to use (like in the case of creating a channel through your money). It speaks forth and breaks down all shakable until all that is left standing are the unshakable, that which "the Word" made John 1: 1-4 **,** and that which God ordained for you. The use of the "blood of Jesus" is not to be abused but has to be used in faith, knowing without any reservations that it removes all shakable from your life.

(Repercussion) When you're taught that using the "Blood of Jesus" is a sin and should never be attempted, it's like saying "eating healthy meals are dangerous to one's health". A Christian is left exposed without this covering. Living in a demon infested place like the Island of Trinidad, the covering of the "Blood of Jesus" is lifesaving because it limits the manifestations of the destructive works set against God's children, if used rightly, it can creates an impenetrable barrier around God's children that cannot be crossed by demonic works (not to be confused with a protective force field). Victims of false prophets are told not to use the "Blood of Jesus" so they can be left open, unprotected and as easy targets. It doesn't matter how long you pray, how well you heal the sick or minister the Word of God or how intensely you cast out demons. The devil is persistent; as long as you're open he'll continue to shoot his darts even if you keep breaking them. Soon enough you'll realize you're fighting the same battles over and over again and will lose time in the process, remaining stagnant in your progress, unable to move forward.

(My Advice) – If you are uncertain about the people you deal with, it will cost you nothing to have the seal of the "Blood of Jesus" over the things that pertains to you and watch how the cloud of destruction passes you by just as it did before the children of Israel left Egypt for good.

**15. BEING SAVED GUARANTEE HEAVEN -** (Lies & Deceptions) once you are saved, you cannot be saved again, you cannot be "Born-Again" again, and you are now a child of the most High God, a citizen of Heaven with an identity in Christ. If you do sin, Jesus already paid the price and He is our advocate for God's children, God will not reject you, He'll still accept you because you have His righteousness which He gave as a gift, He doesn't see your sins but His own righteousness in you and still relates with you as His child. So if you are saved, you're bound to go to Heaven even if you die doing wrong, being Born-Again is your sure guarantee of Heaven. And if you sin as a Christian, just receive forgiveness and move on, no need to ask God for forgiveness just receive forgiveness, accept it and don't cry about your sins anymore.

(Truth) Hebrews 6: 4-6... 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost,

5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come,

6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.

The Apostle Paul clearly stated above the fate of those who fall away from God. In simple terms: A person who is saved; studied, understood and applied the word and the principals of God, walked with the Holy Spirit and looked forward to the world to come, if this person turns away from Christ and His salvation, it is impossible for such a person to be renewed in repentance and be re-instated as a child of God because he has made a mockery of the salvation Jesus sacrificed for the world and trying to crucify Jesus afresh for his own soul. That is unacceptable! If a man is in Christ, he has the love of God filled in his heart, his thoughts, actions and deeds are done in love, his service to God is done out of love for God and not compulsion. If that man sins, intentionally or unintentionally, his heart will cry out in agony and cause him to repentance immediately. But if a man turns away from God and His salvation, it is different from just sinning; this is spiritual and involves the turning of your heart away from God. For instance: a Christian involved in the things of God, and then decides to turn to witchcraft and demonic practices in order to gain wealth or achieve some physical or material gain. That person's heart has been cut off from God, he has turned away from the salvation that Christ was sacrificed for, and has made a mockery of God choosing darkness over light. For such a person, it is impossible to be renewed in repentance. Sin is a conscious act and for God's children that have the Holy Spirit in them, they are shied from sin. They know when they do something wrong because their spirit bears them witness.

1 John 1... 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

If we walk in the light as God, in that process if we happen to sin then the Blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sins but forgiveness comes after asking God and He alone cleanses us from unrighteousness and the effects of the sin committed. All in Christ have been admonished to live godly,

Titus 2:12... 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

God will not behold unrighteousness, and a Christian who died committing a sin will go to hell, a Christian in sin while the trumpet of Jesus' second coming is sound, will be left to suffer great tribulation which he/she may never be saved from. God's will is to gather His holy ones to Himself, without blemish or blame, a Christian who is a partaker of the wickedness and the iniquity if this world isn't worthy to be gathered as God's Holy one.

(Repercussion) These demonic practices that are being imbibed into Christianity today are done purposely by these false prophets to completely separate men from God. Because of their greed, these men turn to doctrines that are ungodly and are very much against their spirits. They do it anyways because it promises some material or financial gain. We hear it all over the place; breakthrough anointing, kingdom finance, the twelve anointing etc. All sorts of fancy scriptural names are used to covers these demonic doctrines. Unknowing to these victims, they are sadly being cut off from God in their ignorance; practicing what they think is the new wave of Christianity. A lot of them will be judged as the wicked on judgment day, all their works burned in fire because it had no foundation but made of selfishness and greed. Many Christians will be cast into hell even though they "served" God all their lives and this is the sad reality of today. Many are misled into these practices that they will eventually pay for with their souls and be condemned.

(My Advice) – Be a watchman as instructed in the Bible, living a godly life is easy when you fully embrace the love of God, separate from religious rules and regulations which were created to guide a Christian but were perverse along the line and made ineffective. Let God be your guide and if in doubt, follow this simple rule... "Do unto others as you'll have them do unto you".

These are the most common cunningly taught lies and demonic doctrines present in churches in today's world. There are many more devious teachings out there that I did not examine and expose; this chapter was written mainly to show how slyly these teachings are, very convincing to say the least, twisted to suit their purpose. And how much of a difference a simple "mistake" or "misunderstanding" of the scripture can make and also to show the cost of ignorance.

CHAPTER FIVE

MODE OF OPERATION OF A CURRENT FALSE PROPHET

False prophets are all around us, they have been there before the days of Moses in the Bible and they will continue to show up until the end of this world. Their modes and tactics have evolved through time but their purposes have remained the same.

This chapter will illuminate the modes of operation of today's false prophet. I will be making an example of a well known "Man of God" in our world today, no names will be mentioned because the purpose of this book is not about bringing down a man but showing God's children the way out so they can stand up for themselves and defend themselves against the schemes of these false prophets whether in our present time or in the future. Also I'll tell three different stories of three victims bound under the clutches of Pastor Death.

Story #1

This story is about a young lady called Jane (Just A Normal Enthusiast) and her encounter with a false prophet. Her story is a true story, a summary of events clear enough to see a pattern which is very much similar to that of most victims suffering under the influence of false prophets; the circumstances surrounding various stories may differ but the base and the mode of operation are usually the same. Pastor DEATH (Deliverer, Economist, Advocate, Teacher, and Healer) is a man that is well known all over the world, he has millions of followers in his organization or church as they call it. He is the slyest of them all, highly intelligent, clever, charismatic, sophisticated, elegant and very handsome. Possess a great power of conviction, wonderful with homiletics, gentle with a kind personal and just easy to fall in love with.

Now Jane is a beautiful young lady, full of life with the world at her fingertips. She's from a good home with wealthy parents and has so much grace and good fortune working for her. Whatever she wanted, she had and she was set to have a good life, financially, martially even career wise. Jane was in college studying a great degree course that would set her among the elite earners in her society, give her a life full of prosperity, she was on top of the world. Being brought up to love God, Jane was looking for a church to be attached to, she was beginning to discover things about herself and wanted God as a solid part of her life and she was set out to find God for herself. One day while visiting a friend, she turned on the TV and sees this very handsome man preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. She never forgot what he spoke about since nobody she knew ever talked about the love of God like that before. She was mesmerized and immediately knew that's the church she wants to attend. Unfortunately for her, the man preaching was Pastor Death. Ever so determined, she made enquiries about Pastor Death and soon found out the name of his church and location. HELL's (Havoc Ensured Life Lesson) Ministry was this new uprising ministry in town and everybody was going there. A few days later, she attended her first service; it was wonderful, she was sure she now knew what the presence of God feels like. Worship session was excellent and the love she received from the ushers and fellow members was outstanding and overwhelming. She felt at home. Curious to hear more preaching from Pastor Death, Jane was encouraged the purchase his preaching tapes and CDs so she can listen to them while at home. She did that with gladness, and the more she listened, the hungrier she became. Her appetite was voracious and she wanted more, Pastor Death delved into area of the Bible most Pastors didn't dare to mention, he was always right on point, everything made sense now, she understood the scriptures so well now and was living on cloud nine. She followed Pastor Death intently, diligently, to all his public meetings, crusades, conventions; she bought all his preaching tapes and books and followed him online. She just couldn't get enough of Pastor Death. A few months after she started attending Hell's Ministry, she began to have little rifts with her family members, she spoke about it to her immediate Pastor and of course he advised her it was the devil showing up in her family members, trying to stop her from serving God. Jane was doing so well in church, learning so much of God's Word; the devil has to do something to stop her from excelling, right? So Jane persisted and eventually chose the church over her family and didn't care what they did or thought about her new found family. Ten months after she joined Hell's ministry, Jane had a sudden bizarre eruption in her college that could not be resolved and eventually forced her to withdraw. Shattered, she cried out to her immediate Pastors for help, a great calamity has struck and she needs all the help she can get, but they just advised her to keep on praying in tongues for hours every day and God will provide a swift solution and that negative decision taken against her would be reversed. So Jane prayed and prayed for months, but things only got worse, the school would not hear of her. Not too long after that, she was encouraged by her immediate Pastors to get involved in the ministry, make "soul-winning" her priority and God will fix that which concerns her. Still optimistic, Jane took up several responsibility in "church", working several days a week, doing everything she was told to do, all with a clean heart, she was doing it all for God because she loves God. By her third year in Hell's ministry, Jane was still out of college, jobless and broke. Nothing good had happened to her and there was nothing exciting in her life. She had been taught by Pastor Death never to voice her fears or any negative thing in her life, just announce the blessings and never confess the defeat or failures. So if things are going bad, never announce them, instead declare that thing are great and they surely will turn out great. She sowed all the money she got into the ministry, she needed a change very badly and she was going to take the time to cause that change. So she sowed and sowed, prayed and prayed, fasted, attended more meetings, bought more preaching tapes, evangelized more and preached more. She got little help here and there but nothing to shout about; no change in her situation. All her applications to other colleges were denied for unforeseen reasons, she couldn't get a good job mainly, because she wasn't qualified for a good position; but she had been taught to use her faith to get what she wanted so she believed that by faith she can take that which she wants, just declare it and take it. She prayed and prayed for a job, declared and decreed but no job came forth even though she went for countless interviews. By her fifth year in Hell's ministry, she was feeling a little frustrated, so she decided to get married, but this didn't go well with her immediate Pastors because they believe it to be un-necessary. Pastor Death himself preached that God didn't send us into the world to go and get marry but to preach. The work of the ministry is more important. Jane didn't relent, she still desired to be married and put herself in a position to be seen. Tragically, man after man, proposal after proposal, she still remained single. One bizarre occurrence after the other, she just couldn't tie the knot and by her sixth year in Hell's ministry, the influx of suitors stopped completely. A man would not look at her even if she was caught on fire; at least, that's how she felt. She increased in her responsibilities in "church" and several more were added. She had become a great leader where others looked up to her. Few people knew she was struggling to get by, to eat and couldn't afford to buy new cloths but she played the role of a successful leader basking in prosperity very well. She was in denial of her terrible state, attributing everything to a challenge which she will overcome by her faith. Living in poverty and hardship, she finally went back home for financial support but no matter how much money she got from her family, she always ended up back at the bottom state of poverty and starvation. Soon Jane's family grew tired of helping. Giving her money was painful to them because she ended up giving the money back to the "church" which they never was in support off and worse off, they despised the fact that she seemed to have lost her senses, unable to make progress. Whatever they did for her to help her stand on her feet, failed badly, all their efforts frustrated but she carried on as though nothing was amiss. Her dream to be married became passive and by her eight year in Hell's ministry all she wanted was to be able to work and earn a living. Hell's ministry never paid her for any of her services or labor, she was expected to pay to attend meeting and even pay to work and serve. She had sown everything that was dear to her and at this point looked on to her Pastors and the "church" for sustenance, for food and basic needs because her family no longer responded to her. The help from the "church" was very scarce and a lot of times she was treated like a dog because she had to beg them (the Pastors) for food. Yet she continued with her responsibilities in the "church" because she was doing it all for God, she persevered, in spite of her intense poverty, she still gave to God and continued to declare success in her life. By her ninth year, her life was in complete shambles, it seems as though she stunk before others, she could never get a break; nothing good happened to her, it was always one challenge or the other, life had become a tug of war. She could almost always guarantee failure in everything she did outside the "church", life was cruel to her and by the tenth year of her membership in Hell's ministry, she was ready to kill herself but afraid of spending eternity in hell. She had lost everything; she no longer declared for change but cried night after night; begging God to help her but God seemed deaf to her cries and pleas. She faced obstruction everywhere she turned, starvation had become a norm for her, and she dressed in worn clothing and lacked very basic things. She felt she must be doing something wrong because around her in church most people seemed to be doing fine, Pastor Death and his host of other Pastors were living in great luxuries, they are rich beyond measure, putting God's Word to work and getting great results. So why is her case different, she wondered? From time to time during a meeting Pastor Death would speak a word that seemed to be specific to her plight which greatly inspires her to continue in the fight; for victory is assured. She tried everything he suggested but eventually became too discouraged to continue, Jane had finally lost her fire and intensity. And by her eleventh year, she was done with God and church, asking the tough questions and believed that if there truly is a God, He must hate her terribly because there's no other reason for the terrible hardship she's faced. She pulls out of Hell's ministry (finally) but these "bad luck" still followed her and finally she learns to drown her sorrows in alcohol and drugs.

What a tragic end, but this story can end in a better way, Jane read a book about the gimmicks of false prophets and identified her plight as similar to the stories written in the book. She learned to take charge of her life, cut off Pastor Death, broke off all his bounds, destroyed his works in her life and tactfully began to rebuild her life, step by step with God on her side.

Story #2

This story is about Don (Desperate Option Needed). Don is a good person, well by his own standard. He was brought up by God fearing parents who taught him good values. From an average income home, he learned the importance of earning a living at a young age, having gotten his first job at age 11. He worked his way through high school and college, having a big dream in his heart that he was set to accomplish no matter what. Don did quite well for himself, by age 50, he owned the biggest construction company in his county, owned several homes, cars and other valuable properties. He also had a wonderful family, a great wife that loved him immensely and two teenage daughters that made him proud every day. Life was good for Don, he was wealthy, healthy and happy, everything was going better than ok until disaster struck; he was diagnosed with third stage colon cancer. Don and his family kept a positive attitude and went through the treatment phases and soon, there was remission which was great news but unfortunately a few months later, the cancer returned and was diagnosed to be end stage, terminal. There was nothing the doctors could do just help him die comfortably. Don is a fighter and certainly not ready to give up, he was open to other options and one day he sees Pastor Death on TV praying for a woman who had terminal cancer, in a worse state than he was, and in the follow up section of the program, he saw that same woman claiming to be completely healed. She had her proofs and certainly looked a lot better and healthier. Don decided to give Pastor Death a shot, he felt he had nothing to loose with Pastor Death, if he didn't get healed it will still be better because he tried everything. So he and his family visited Hell's ministry and requested an audience with Pastor Death. Don gave his reason for his request along with details of his life, work and family. After that, he was given an appointment to return a few days later to see Pastor Death. Elated, he went home, counting the hours to his "healing". Finally, the day arrived and he went very eagerly for his meeting. Pastor Death was such a delightsome fellow; he seemed to know everything Don was going through and encouraged him greatly. Pastor Don then invited Don for a prayer and healing meeting scheduled to take place in a few days. Don was convinced that was his day for a miracle. So he went for the meeting and Pastor Death prayed for him and immediately he felt something coming out of his body. He just couldn't explain it but he knew that he was healed. He went home and slept like a baby, his health improved from that day, he felt better, ate more, and even began to exercise again. The cancer was in remission again and the doctors were amazed and called him a miracle. Don was healed of cancer! Of course he went back to Hell's ministry to testify and give glory to God. After his testimony, Pastor Death requested to speak with him. Don was instructed on how to keep his healing and not let the devil steal it away. He had to be a member of the church, give a good thanksgiving seed offering, get involved in the work of the ministry, however little, listen to messages and just be a better Christian. All of these things were simple and Don had absolutely no trouble doing them. He was happy to give a good portion of his wealth to Pastor Death, after all God used him to save Don's life. So Don gave and gave to Hell's ministry, even tithes of his previous earnings from years back. He was told that money was stolen from God by him and if he wanted infinite success, he should pay it back. So he did, gave all his first fruits too. Don wasn't about to infuriate God, he was willing to give anything God demanded as long as his life was preserved. He got involved with the men's department and also taught Sunday school lessons on Sunday mornings before service began. He evangelized like never before, preached the gospel where ever he went, he was on fire for God, he had been given a new life, now he wanted it to count for something. Six months later, Don was still cancer free but his company was beginning to suffer. His employers accused him of being out of touch with the company and absent. He lost some contracts and some of his clients were complaining badly about their projects done badly by his company. Don wasn't deterred, all he needed to do was put in some time at work, prioritize better. So he did that, spent most of his time at work fixing up messes created by his company which happened so bizarrely, nobody could explain but he was held accountable. By the ninth month of being cancer free, still in Hell's ministry, he was paying his workers out of his personal savings because his company funds were dried out and no new projects or contracts had been offered to him. He felt it was because of all the messes he had to clean up, it made prospective clients a little cautious but he was excellent at his job and he knew he would bounce back up; just a little more time was needed. Another six months passed and now he had to let go of 70% of his workers, no money was coming in still. While in church, Don was growing, increasing in his responsibilities, he was the most inspiring person in church, he told his story to everybody he met. He did everything he was instructed to do in church and he continued to give. From time to time he would feel like a symptom or pain in his body and in frenzy he would run back to Pastor Death for more prayers. Pastor Death always reassured him that as long as he was committed to God and the ministry, putting His Word to work and sowing seeds, that cancer would never return. So Don continues in his services, takes up more responsibilities, gives more and by his second year in Hell's ministry, still cancer free, his wife was fed up with his new person, he was lost somewhere and she no longer recognized him. They were almost broke, his business was sinking fast, things were very bad with them but he didn't seem to notice. For him it was all about the church and his attempt to keep his healing. So she left, taking the girls with her. Within one year of his wife leaving him, Don gave to Hell's ministry a few of his properties and assets to use as church venue and church offices and by the end of the third year, Don had nothing left. He had to ask for money from his family, wife, friends in order to buy groceries and satisfy his basic needs. His business was completely dead, and now he's lost his respect in church. He was no longer an inspiring person, Pastor Death would not give him an audience; he was misused and abused verbally and mentally, no longer having a place of importance. Worse off, he needed the church to support him now but they just gave excuses and avoided him. Finally frustrated, he goes back to his wife for help. He had lost it, lost something and he didn't know what or how to get it back. His wife insisted he leaves Hell's ministry and if the cancer comes back he'll die with some dignity. So he left Hell's ministry as gracefully as he could. His wife returned home to help rebuild their lives. Hell's ministry commandeered Don's properties he gave to be used as a church venue and church offices. He never signed off his properties but somehow they laid claims on it, it was a gift that cannot be returned they said. As Don began to fight to get his properties back, he began to get weaker and weaker, then sicker and sicker and finally he confirmed the cancer had returned and in terminal stage and by this time all he wanted was to live a bit of inheritance for his children and he swore he'll get back his properties for his girls as long as he was still breathing. He died in the process of getting it back.

This story could end better, Don read a book on false prophets, identified his troubles and learned how to make war with the devil and broke loose from all bounds holding him back.

Story #3

This is a story of Pastor Nat (Naïve And Trusting), He is a man who loves God dearly, from his teenage years he knew his purpose in life was to be a servant of God, helping others. He came from a middle class back ground with parents that believed in a great education. So he went to the most elite of schools, studied to become a civil engineer. Pastor Nat climbed up the ladder of success very quickly and by age thirty he was overseeing the most prestigious building projects in his environs. He was highly sought after because he had a very unique, articulate manner by which he executed his work. He was on demand, loved by most, wealthy but still single. He wasn't in a hurry to get married because he was still in search of the "ideal wife". Pastor Nat was always in church but he had a longing in his heart that never seemed to be satisfied. He moved from church to church, seeking for something he wasn't quite sure what it was. He even got ordained as a Pastor in one of the churches he attended but to him, something was lacking so he moved on. Unfortunately, one day he was invited to a three days conference held by Hell's ministry in which Pastor Death would be teaching. The friend who invited him was so excited about the program as though God Himself would be there in the flesh and this friend did everything possible to ensure that Pastor Nat didn't cancel. Finally, on the first day of the conference, everything seemed ok in the arena, the worship session was good, the atmosphere was ok too, nothing suspicious was observed. So he waited until Pastor Death came up on stage to teach, he was impressed at the level of respect Pastor Death commandeered from his congregation, so Pastor Nat decided to give his attention. Listening to Pastor Death teach for about an hour, Pastor Nat was fully convinced that Pastor Death is what he had been in search of. The words he spoke was what Pastor Nat needed to hear, the "Word of God" he taught was exactly the teaching Pastor Nat craved for. On the second day of the conference, Pastor Nat was seated an hour before the set time, ready to hear more from Pastor Death and by the third day of the conference, Pastor Nat was making inquiries on how to be a worker in Hell's ministry. So he paid and went through the process of becoming a minister in Hell's ministry and after about six months or so, Pastor Nat had become an ordained Pastor in Hell's ministry. He did everything he was told to do and he loved it. People were drawn to his light and genuineness that made him a favorite among other Pastors. Whatever branch of the ministry he was put in charge of flourished with members. People could not get enough of him! He was told that he had to lead by example, if he needed his members to give, he has to be the first to give, and so Pastor Nat gave and gave. Over the course of four years, Pastor Nat had signed off all of his properties to Hell's ministry as a seed offering, given most of his savings as well. He quit his job as an engineer in his second year in Hell's ministry, because the work of the ministry was too demanding and he couldn't handle both. By the end of his fourth year in Hell's ministry, Pastor Nat was still on fire for God and ready to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to the far corners of the earth but now he had a limitation. Bound by financial deprivation, Pastor Nat was unable to accomplish anything outside Hell's Ministry. He was broke and began to question some of the teachings of Pastor Death that he had imbibed. He never saw the expected results as promised but instead he got one challenge after another. So he decided to do his own research outside Pastor Death's teachings, in the course of his study of the Bible, he discovered some lies and deceptions of Pastor Death and decided to teach his congregation his new found truth. On doing so, he was met with very harsh disapprovals from his senior Pastors and even Pastor Death and he was gravely warned never to do so again but to stick to the teaching outline provided. He agreed to that but kept on studying in secret and uncovering more lies, but he kept them all to himself. By his fifth year, Pastor Death was in a financial sinkhole, he could no longer meet his basic needs and needed sustenance from the church which he felt was his right. He had previously been warned about using church money for his personal needs and he believed that God would strike him dead if he dared to use the church money so he decided to ask his senior Pastors and Pastor Death for a small monthly allowance to meet his basic needs. To his shock, he was denied his request and instructed by his senior Pastors to give all that he had as a seed and God will provide an expedient solution to his financial crisis. Pastor Nat had nothing left to give and he was tired of their ploys. He knew some truths and began to see Pastor Death as a business man instead of a Pastor. So Pastor Nat decided to pursue the matter a little further, demanding what was his right, payment for his services since he works as a full time Pastor in Hell's ministry. Pastor Death did not respond positively, instead he fired Pastor Nat and set a new Pastor over Pastor Nat's congregation. Pastor Nat was furious, hurt, frustrated, broke, hungry and completely worn out. He tried to fight back as little as he could because he felt he was unable to stand against a giant like Pastor Death. So he told everybody of his dealings with the church and how badly he was treated, exposing them as a business. Not too long after that, Pastor Nat took ill of a mysterious illness that could not be diagnosed that left him confined to the hospital till he passed away.

A better ending would be... Pastor Nat read a book on false prophets and learned how to effectively fight such "giant" such as Pastor Death and destroy them.

These three stories are the most common among victims, people that are truly seeking the face of God and desire to serve God are the easy target for these false prophets because their hearts are already set and much convincing isn't required. In Jane's story, she already was seeking out her servitude to God and when she saw Pastor Death on TV, little did she know that the connection she felt was a spiritual pull, demonic pull. Pastor Death enchants on all his programs both on TV and on the Internet, as well as his books music and preaching CD. There is a demonic messenger angel attached to these materials that simulate a divine encounter in the heart of the hearer, also the use of divination is at work, attached to specific words whether written or spoken, it influences the hearer to desire to hear more and it also deposits a seed of "confirmation" in the heart of these victims and they believe they have found God. These materials are set out to attract people, like a teaser to the real thing, seducing them like offering candies to children. A man who is desperate to live will do about anything to live even for another day, and that was the seduction that got Don tied in, a play of words and the workings of divination is what got pastor Nat tied in. There's a lot of pain and suffering in the world today and these false prophets take advantage of that, playing on the emotions of victims. Once they have been drawn in to the church, connections are created almost immediately, when they gave their money in the church and they made up their minds to remain in the church. Then these false prophets seek ways to bind these victims, with Jane it was the trouble with her school and her desire to be reinstated, that was their binding force. With Don, it was his fear of the cancer returning, that was their binding force and with Pastor Nat, it was his fear of infuriating God and losing his congregation that was their binding force. All three stories, these victims were well situated and after a few years with Hell's ministry they all were in the same point of the lowest level of poverty where they were all unable to meet their basic needs. And when they got to that level, they were discarded as a bag of rotten potatoes, yet still held firmly bound by Pastor Death, sucking every bit of life left. Now the final stage of destruction happens when they began to fight back, this is clearly seen in the story of Don and of Pastor Nat; their biggest fears became a reality and eventually they lost their lives. Jane was stirred in the direction of self destruction that would eventually lead her to the path of death if no one helps her on time.

Hell's ministry is a typical example of a destructive church(demon church) in this age, a workshop of a false prophet. Most of the people in charge that make the decisions are agents of darkness causing destruction in the lives of men. They mix their workers with children of God who are kept in front as a covering to their darkness; people can sense or even see the light of God there even though bad things are happening. For instance: In the ushering department, the head usher is an agent of darkness who has ten people working under him. Out of that ten, seven are children of light while the other three are agents of darkness. Another instance: The missions department, the overall head and his assistant an agents of darkness but working under them are godly Pastors who truly desire to do the work of God infused with about 20% of demonic Pastors working as agents of darkness. These agents of darkness keep things running while the children of lights are the covering and it's their blood that is fed on. Same with the congregation, they have about 40% to 60% of their congregation who are agents of darkness, working in the church or hiding out there or seeking preys. While the rest of the congregations are children of light, food for these agents of darkness, they suck their blood until there's nothing left to suck.

Pastor Death is sly and very cunning; he has studied other false prophets intensely and learned to avoid their past mistakes. He didn't try to win it all at once but took his time, slowly but surely, he gained his audience and built up his fortress. The children of God are his covering, he uses them for his work, God hears them when they pray and if he needs God's presence or covering over what he's doing, he sends them into prayer. Examples:

  * Pray to God to give you utterance so you can preach the gospel - this enable the true Christians preach effectively and bring more souls into the church which he can destroy.

  * Soul-winning is paramount, you have to win souls \- this is a great means to grow the church.

  * Pray for upcoming programs that they are conducted without a hitch – This helps them excel in their scavenger hunt.

His work is subtle ( I can't stress that enough), he gives out in bits, the atmosphere in his church is not an overwhelming demonic presence because he has true Christians calling out to God, whom God is with. There is a false sense of goodness in the atmosphere and he stresses on the acceptability of love. New comers are welcomed with so much love and acceptance that always gets a good feedback. Music is a fundamental tool of impartation; the live worship is rigged with demonic devices that influence one's spirit while the recorded music carries out live demonic spirits that can influence one's spirit as well as their environment. The CDs, Tapes, Books and all other materials they have for sale are demonic spirits in a box. Pastor Death works with a spirit of divination that he imparts into certain words or phrases in his messages or tapes and as you listen to those words and receives them; you open your heart up to further demonic influences. His "Christian" materials are his messenger angels of destruction! The sound of his voice is fluid and his tongue sweet like honey, all infused by the power of darkness at work in him, he is able to capture an audience effortlessly and convince most people who listen to him. As they listen, their spiritual eyes becomes dimmer and dimmer, until they become blind and deaf to others, can't even study the scriptures for themselves anymore, their minds blocked. All his victims see and hear is him - Pastor Death

The messages that Pastor Death preaches are very unique because he speaks the truth 70% of the time. He is very conversant with the Holy Scriptures, he knows every verse and chapter, he knows the truth better than most and he also knows how to twist the truth to make it ineffective. For example..." Jesus has given you all authority and by His name you can cast out demons and live victoriously. Don't worry about curses or demonic forces because God has called you blessed and you can never be cursed, deliverance is unnecessary..." This sounds ideal and acceptable but only the first part of the above message is accurate. Noah cursed his grandson Canaan; son of Ham even though God had called him blessed Genesis 9:25 **.** And of course Christians can be subject to demonic forces and destruction and would need deliverance.

Another example: "... God has already predestinated you for the good life, so stop warring and spend your time giving Him praise because He will surely bring you to your expected end..." This sounds wonderful, takes away all the worries but it is false, God planned for us to be brought into sonship with Him, that is His will but He is not a hawk or a dictator that rules over our lives. You are very much involved in the outcome of your life; He will not influence your life or circumstances unless you give Him the permission to do so. That's why He told us to ask Him for what we want, giving Him the opportunity to make changes in our lives or circumstances. Sitting down and waiting for things to change is the worst thing you can ever do, even in the application of your faith, work is required. This is not work as in declaration and hoping for change, but précised, informed steps towards the manifestation of the change needed.

Pastor Death also works in keeping his victims enslaved in his church, as soon as a person is perceived as interested or committed, immediately they are given a responsibility in the church, no matter how small. They say it's all about training because all of God's children are Pastors and leaders and the necessary training is in church. The more committed these victims are, the more responsibilities they are given until they no longer have a life outside of the church. Marriage is seen as a distraction to doing the work of God and bluntly rejected especially if the intended spouse to be isn't a member of the organization. This is because a spouse who is not under the same influence can pull the one bound out of his/her trance quite easily while for those that are married, in the act of "blessing" their marriage, Pastor Death and his host of agents release demons of strife and discord into their lives, influencing or destroying their marriage. Infidelity is used as bait as well, not spoken off but accepted as a moment of weakness. Pastor Death himself shows by example how the "work" is greater than his marriage and encourages wives to be separated from their husbands, for months, even years, all for the sake of the "work".

Pastor Death's focus is on how to keep the bound victims bound and how to gain more victims. Whenever he needs the presence of God over anything, for example a crusade, he sets out the true Christians to pray to God and create a godly atmosphere, they pray for open doors to untouched territories, forging new frontiers, winning new souls and adding these new souls into the fold, growing his organization. These Christian pray to God earnestly, truly desiring for the gospel of Jesus to be preached and God hears them.

These members remain bound for years and years and if any of them by any chance begin to give trouble, maybe they stop attending services or they cut off from their responsibility or they stop giving even though they have the means and money to give. First the immediate Pastor would try and talk to that member and make them understand that they are offending the Holy Spirit by not doing what they should be doing. If that doesn't work, they resort to gift giving. The immediate Pastor or the regional Pastor (depending on the situation) would give a gift to that member, a carefully thought out, much needed, expensive gift. This could also be money and this is given after the demon Pastor in charge has made contact with that member and created some sort of spiritual channel. Now that gift will be as a binding force to the member that keeps him rooted more firmly. Now if that doesn't work, then they'll begin to afflict his body with sickness and disease and if that still doesn't work, they will begin to panic and call in the bigger demon Pastors to contain the situation. These pastors will then provide better gifts or bigger responsibilities that cannot be refused. Bottom line, they try all they can to keep their victims bound and lifeless and they don't let go without a fight. The more involved a victim is with a church like Hell's ministry, the harder it would be to cut off but it is possible. Knowledge is the key!

There are five questions that I ask people I perceive are victims of false prophets and if more than three of the answers are correct, undoubtedly they are bound. These questions are:

1. Do you give all your offerings, tithes and all other forms offerings regularly in church but don't seem to get back the expected increase as the Pastor preached?

2. Have you had any major setbacks that caused you to "need" God more and be more committed in that church since you became a member?

3. Do you have difficulty studying the scriptures for yourself and understanding scriptures except that which the Pastor explained to you?

4. Have you had difficulty getting married or having marital problems ever since you became a member of that church?

5. Are you having difficulty with employment or your job? Losing money or income that is gradually or subtly getting worse?

If your answer is "YES" to more than three of these questions then you have to take action, pay attention because you're most likely bound or a victim of spiritual wickedness. God did not create you to suffer; neither did He put you in this world to be destroyed. Life shouldn't be full of ups and downs or misery, if you serve the living God, the creator of the heavens and the earth, then why should you suffer? Why all the challenges? God made you a king and a victor, His Word is infallible what He said about you is the truth but if your reality is different, it's time to take action, break down, pull down, destroy and nullify whatever is at work in your life that is contrary to what God bestowed upon you. Learn to break free!

CHAPTER SIX

HOW TO BREAK FREE

This is the most important chapter of this book. To know the gimmicks and "modus Operandi" of a false prophet is futile unless you know how to break those bounds and be liberated.

As a Christian, the most effective and most powerful weapon you posses, is your ability to pray to God and be heard. Prayer has been watered down and made ineffective in the lives of many Christians by the use of false doctrines and ignorance, many don't even know how to pray let alone fight their battles.

Prayer, put simply is communication with God. God is not a man but He put His own likeness in man, so we feel, think, talk and act in the likeness of Him. Just as it is necessary and important to communicate with your family, friends and loved ones, it is just as important to God and to do so with Him. He loves us and He desires a relationship with us in spite of our short comings. He is a God of order and He has given us certain guidelines by which we can communicate effectively with Him. Here are some important facts to note before applying those guidelines...

First of all, you need to know exactly what prayer is all about, understand it and imbibe it. It is not a means to achieving material gains or a descriptive tool or characteristic or an act of necessity, it is a way of life! Communicating with God should be a way of life to all Christians, one which you cannot do without.

Secondly, He is on your side but He wants you to reason matters out with Him. Talking to Him as you would talk to a loved one who wants the best for you also understanding His goal and purpose for mankind.

Applying God's given guidelines in prayer simply involves using the name of Jesus in prayer, like an instrument. It is a name that is above every other name and everything in this world, in heaven and in hell, bows to that name. Anything that can hear would have no choice but to respond to the command given by that name and we as Christians have been given the authority to use that wonderful name of Jesus. Understanding the power bestowed upon that name and the authority it commands make it effective when you use it in prayer, you know you have all that you need in order to win.

The next very important thing you ought to note is - knowledge of the situation. Praying like the Pharisees will only produce a descriptive characteristic of a Christian, all for a show with no power. You have to be aware of the situation and know the roots of it. This helps you become more effective in your fight and it is simple. You may not know whatever spiritual wickedness that has been concocted for you but you'll always know when you see the manifestations in your life or your body. Christian have to be sensitive and wise, whatever is not of God ought not to be manifested in you and when you see things like failure, infirmities, limitations etc. manifesting in your life repeatedly, you have to break it off. Know the situation and how to address it, speaking comprehensible words in prayer directed to the source of the problem.

Finally, let your heart be in it. You have to desire a change before you can make a change.

Most of the gimmicks and teachings exposed in this book were dealt to me personally. I was a victim of several false prophets and I learned by the power of the Holy Ghost how to break free from those bounds and I'll illustrate how I fought my battles at various levels and junctions of my life, I'll also explain its significance.

BREAKING THE CHANNELS...

There are two types of prayers on the battlefield

  1. The Offensive - You take offense at what wickedness done towards you and make war against your adversary.

  2. The Defensive – You defend yourself against your adversary

My experiences - At The point of my lowest trough, five different groups of demonic agents were firmly connected to my spirit. I was a member of a church like Hell's ministry; I had friends, close relatives, neighbors and Pastors firmly connected and constantly afflicting my spirit. I was dried out even to my bones, nothing worked, I stunk and destruction was the order of my day. I despaired of life itself and began to desire heaven as a credible alternative. One night, I sat down, praying, confused, not sure what else to do coz I had done all I knew. With tears in my eyes I prayed... "My God, show me a way out of this misery..." And from then on God began to open my eyes and teach me the same things I've shared in this book. Breaking the channels for me wasn't a onetime thing because the agents that bound me were very desperate in their wickedness and tried over and over to establish a channel again and when I realized that they were determined to destroy me, employing different means and tactics to bind me, I became very aggressive and offensive in prayer. I began to make war with them, destroying them and their works, only by the words of my mouth (will explain further).

I started off on the defensive side and I prayed after this fashion...

"... I am a child of God; my spirit is one with Christ and I have been given all authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions and upon all the powers of the enemy. Today, I stand on that authority and I dismember myself, my spirit from Hell's ministry. I separate my spirit from their database and blot out my name written in their coven, I renounce and break off every covenant and union they have with my spirit and I uproot those devices they planted in my body, my mind and in my spirit in the mighty name of Jesus. I break every bound they have set upon my spirit and I destroy every constraints and restraints they have set upon my life in Jesus name. I break off every demonic channels Hell's ministry connected to my spirit and I severe all their access into my spirit, I break off their attachments and associations with my spirit in Jesus Name. You unclean spirits lodged in my body, my life, my world, my universe, causing bad luck, disfavor, destruction, poverty and lack, I cast you out of my life right now in Jesus Name. I command you to depart from that which concerns me now in Jesus Name. You devils manipulating circumstances and situations concerning my life, I destroy your works and cast you out of my life, out of my world, my universe and I put a stop to your manipulative works, I reverse the effects of all spiritual manipulations in my life now in Jesus Name. I eradicate every workings of destruction in my life, I erase bad luck infused in my spirit and I break every curse of poverty upon my spirit in Jesus Name. I destroy every demonic covering over my head; I destroy that blindness over my spiritual eyes and also every form of fogginess and dark cloud over my mind, my eyes and my spirit. I speak peace into my life, prosperity, increase and victory into my life. My soul receives life now; my bones receive life now in Jesus Name..."

In my prayer, first I announced my status as one with the authority and declared dismemberment from that ministry. This is important because my membership with them was established by my declaration initially, and I completed this dismemberment by breaking all covenants entered on my behalf. Then I broke off the bounds fasted in my spirit and casted out the demons that had taken residence in my spirit causing all sorts of misfortune and destroyed all their works in my life. Finally, I spoke restoration into my life, my spirit. Speaking restoration and prosperity into my life is commanding these things to be restored because these are attributes God already bestowed in my spirit but was hampered by demonic forces, so I reinstated them; I replaced all the negative devices I just eradicated from my spirit with God's blessings, good things. In place of failure planted success, in place of bad luck, I invited the spirit of good fortune into my life etc. etc.

After I prayed this prayer, almost immediately there was a change, it's like the Grace of God returned back into my life. People began to call me to offer me assistance and help which hadn't happened for a long time. Not too long after this, the various agents that bound me also began to contact me to offer assistance but they were seeking ways to re-establish their channels. We all went back and forth for a while, them binding and me breaking until I learned how to make war and it ended for good. This is how I make war...

"... You agents of darkness connecting channels into my spirit, binding me, enchanting against me, I come against you today in the name of the Lord of host. I destroy the works of your hands and I frustrate all of your devices. Whatever evil you done against me, I break them and destroy them today in Jesus Name. I cast out every unclean spirit you have released into my life and I break down every chain you have set upon my spirit. You shall eat up of your own flesh and drink of your own blood even as your life and your blood is required of you by the demons you serve. I speak destruction into your life and you shall carry up your own wickedness upon your head. Whatever evil that you do shall be multiplied back unto you and completely destroy you in Jesus name...

This is just an over view, basically, I send those destructive works and spiritual wickedness done back to the sender and declare it afflicts them a hundred times more. Sometimes I'm a little more specific in prayer depending on the situation but I rarely call names. I use the manifestations of their works to identify them because I may not be 100% accurate on the persons involved, the people that you love and trust may just be the ones afflicting you and the one you suspects might be working along with others. So knowing their names aren't at all necessary but identifying their works in paramount.

For instance: "... You agents of darkness that afflicted my body with cancer, I come against you today..."

In a case where an evil person invokes demonic spirit to afflict your body and you begin to see the manifestations in your body. You know the source of it but may not be certain of all the parties involved, you use a generic name that covers them all but be specific on the works done and you break them off one by one. These demonic works in the lives of people are specific to them and you have to address them by name in order to destroy them lest they will turn a deaf ear.

For example: Your ear started hurting suddenly and soon it felt like you had water in it and couldn't hear audibly in that ear. Now that is a spirit of deafness in your ear sent to cause deafness. When you pray, if you say..."you devils of infirmity in my body, I cast you out in Jesus name"... That devil may not respond but if you say... "You demons of deafness causing deafness in my ear, I cast you out now in Jesus Name"... Immediately that devil will run out and your hearing would be restored because you were specific and identified that devil by his works.

After I made war with these agents, I prayed violently over and over, with so much fire, breaking and destroying and soon they began to retreat. Most of all they all began to have troubles in their lives and organizations, just as King Solomon prayed, they had carried their wickedness upon their own heads. I stayed vigilant because after a long while they tried again to see if they would get through to me, but I was ready and when they did, I sent out the same destruction back to them.

In the case of the stories of Jane, Don and Pastor Nat and to those suffering the same misfortune in the hands of false prophets, my advice is...

Know your situation, come to terms with it. Understand the possibility of you being bound and afflicted because if you do not believe then you cannot fight. If you believe that you can never be afflicted or no demonic works can affect you or demons run away from you, then you'll have to remain in your situation. Demons run away when you chase them away but will take residence and live comfortably in you and your surroundings if you let them even thought you are a child of God. For me, it was a big struggle to accept that my "Man of God", my "Pastor" that I had looked up to for so many years was the very person afflicting me. I struggled with that for weeks, I said it was the devil talking, trying to take away my covering. But God kept asking me... "What if there's a 5% chance that it is true, isn't it worth your liberation?"...I wanted so badly to break those chains coz I knew what was happening to me wasn't my fault, it was unnatural. I did so much to improve my livelihood, tried harder than most people but always ended up at the bottom of destruction. So I was desperate to come out and I took that 5% chance and prayed and I thank God that I did.

To desire a change and hope for a change is not enough, you have to be willing to do the work that will cause a change, be ready for battle and be prepared to fight because the devil will keep on trying. In the story of Jane, she had been dried up to her very bones with no substance left but it is not too late. All she has to do is pray like I did, break those bounds and those channels. Dismember herself from Hell's ministry spiritually and physically, renounce their teachings and ways, break all covenants and agreements she's entered knowingly or unknowingly. Go back to her Bible and study God's word for herself and be re-educated in the things of God. Most importantly, she will have to water her spirit and fatten her soul (figuratively speaking). Her life is dried out at this point, after casting out those demons of bad luck at work in her; she'll have to build up her life still by the words of her mouth, framing her world and her universe with favor, good fortune, prosperity, goodness etc., speaking what she wants in her life, reinstating that which God already bestowed in her. Here, the power of declaration is paramount, not calling forth things as foolishly taught by some false prophets but speaking forth words of life. For example: I speak life into my body, my finances, my education, my spirit receive life now... Or I speak prosperity into my life and restoration in my job, finances etc. etc... She has to continue speaking over and over because every word of power she speaks forth is watering her bones and fattening her soul, soon there would be a flood of goodness. It might take a little while before she begins to see significant changes and the waiting time might be just as uncomfortable as being bound but the difference is that her words and declaration makes a difference that she can see, feel and benefit from. She also has to ask God for forgiveness for the wrong doctrines she imbibed out of ignorance and ask God to cleanse her from all unrighteousness and the repercussion and the effects of those bad doctrines and teachings she applied and taught. Gradually, she'll begin to rise, gradually she'll be able to buy food regularly, sustain a small job, purchase a few things for herself and if she continues on this path soon enough she will be completely restored to the level she ought to have been if not for Hell's ministry. All her wasted years restored and much more added, all to the Glory of God the Father.

FIGHTING OFF DESTRUCTION...

In a case where the level of destruction has already been employed, like in the stories of Don and Pastor Nat, they first have to break free and sever all ties, praying like I did, take a stand against that demon of cancer and destroy it by the authority given in the wonderful name of Jesus (in the case of Don). Be vigilant and destroy every symptoms manifested physically. The most important thing on this level is to get offensive. Make war with the agents of darkness; destroy them and their works in their coven and territory in the name of Jesus and by the power of the Holy Spirit at work in them (i.e. Don and Pastor Nat), the demons and false prophets do not stand a chance against the name of Jesus used in authority. They have to be aggressive in taking back their lives and cast out that spirit of death that was released unto them. Death here isn't just the cessation of life but death in everything associated with them. They have to continue to fight for their lives and their things spiritually and legally, asking God for wisdom on every step and yielding themselves to be led by God. And if they decide to leave their property stolen by Hell's ministry, then that's ok too, they'll have to concentrate on rebuilding their lives, watering their bones and fattening their souls. Study the Bible for themselves, ask God for wisdom and direction, and also for forgiveness. They need to stand vigilant against the wiles of the devil and be ready to fight at all times.

BREAKING SPECIFIC CHANNELS...

As I explained earlier, there are different types of channels that can be connected to ones spirit such as the maternal channel, the sexual channel, the monetary channel etc. etc.

Breaking each channel has to be specific in prayer and I'll show how each can be broken...

The Maternal channel...

This is a channel that God created and established between a mother and her child, it's not meant to be broken and it is the strongest type of bond between two human beings. But in cases where the mother is determined to destroy her child or a situation where the child was conceived and birthed just for the purpose of the mother sucking its good fortune or taking away its youth to enable her live longer (all by witchcraft of course). In cases like this, if that child decides to fight for his/her life then the first step would be to break off from the mother. Breaking the bond is as easy as a spoken word by knowledge and understanding. For example:... "I am a child of the most high God, my life is for God and God alone and I refuse to be victimized. If my mother is afflicting my spirit, my life, doing witchcraft against me and destroying my progress, then from today I stand on the authority in the name of Jesus and I cut off her connection to my spirit. I break off all her access to my spirit, I separate her from my spirit and I break off all her union with my spirit in Jesus name. I break every bond and channels connected between us today and destroy all of her access to my spirit. I neutralize all of her demonic works in my life, in my spirit and I put a stop to all her manipulative works in my life, I reverse the effects of her manipulations in my life and I renounce every covenant entered on my behalf. Every demon of bad luck, disfavor, poverty and lack she has released into my spirit, I cast them out now in Jesus name and I neutralize all their effects and influence in my life in Jesus name..."

This prayer is an overview and it is not to be prayed unless you are certain and I put a clause (...if my mother is...) there for the benefit of a doubt. It is a heartbreaking experience to have to break off from the one God designed to love you for life and it is even more heart wrenching to discover that one only wants destruction for you. It is a wicked and perverse world we live in today and you are responsible for your own life. Nobody will stand in for you on the judgment day and you'll not be pardoned if you were deceived, misled or misguided in doing something wrong.

The Sexual channel...

This is a little easier and I'd advice every child of God who has been involved with sexual partners other than their spouses to break those channels by praying this way...

"... I am a child of God and my body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and I therefore have no affiliation with any demonic forces. Dear God I ask for forgiveness for every sin of sexual immorality I have committed and I ask you to cleanse me from all unrighteousness and the effects of my sins. I stand on the authority given to me in the wonderful name of Jesus and I break off every sexual connection, bond and channels created in my spirit with... (put the name or names there). I break off those channels connecting my spirit with... in the name of Jesus. Whatever demonic forces or devices or attribute that he/she deposited into my spirit via sexual intercourse, I break it down completely, I uproot it out of my spirit and neutralize all the effects and influences in my spirit. You demons of darkness released into my spirit via that sexual encounter, I destroy your works and activities in my life and I cast you out of my life, out of my spirit, out of my body now in Jesus name. I break off every access he/she has to my spirit and I speak restoration into my life now in Jesus name..."

The Monetary channel...

This is even easier; it is very common and done by all manner of people, they learn to enchant upon money before they give it to you, depositing demonic spirit in you via the money or the people that take money from you and use that to bridge your spirit, depositing demonic forces into you and using it for voodoo to afflict your body etc. To break these bounds and destroy these works, pray after this manner...

"... I am a child of God and my life is for the glory of God. No weapon formed against me shall prosper. I break every channels connected to my spirit via money in Jesus name. I break every bridges connected to my spirit and I destroy every demonic access to my spirit in Jesus name. I break every power of voodoo at work in my spirit in Jesus name. I dislodge you devils from my spirit, I cast you out of my life now and I destroy every demonic works in my spirit in Jesus name. I destroy every demonic device deposited in my spirit, I neutralize it effects in my life, my spirit, my finances and my body, in Jesus name..."

With the monetary channel, it is important to pray this more than once for several days because this bond is not manifested immediately, it takes a little while before it is established, so you have to cover the grounds. I break monetary bonds in my life every day as I do not wish to take any chances. I do monetary transactions everyday with all kinds of people, good and bad, evil and clean; and by praying this way; it has even helped me discover some people involved in afflicting others with spiritual wickedness that I thought were saints, godly Christian full of love. All it takes is to be vigilant, do not take anything for granted, I try and test everyone I associate with and this has helped me tremendously, identifying the evil doers and avoiding them or making war with them depending on the situation.

Victory is yours; you just have to fight your battles. Many Christians make the mistake of waiting for God to fight their battles for them but that's wrong. Why did God equip us with weapons of warfare if He intends to fight our battles for us? He is with us, you need to be bold knowing you have the Almighty God on your side and He will handle that which you aren't equipped for as yet. We Christians have to rise up and take a stand against these demon persons that have infiltrated our society and our lives and say enough is enough! Defending ourselves and making war. As Paul said in

2 Corinthian 10... 4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

King David fought with swords and knives but we fight with our words and by knowledge, we shall excel. As children of God, we are soldiers; we ought to be as wise as serpents and as gentle as doves but also as violent as predators when necessary.

CHAPTER SEVEN

CONCLUSION

This book is dear to my heart but might seem like gibberish to some people, even argued or discarded but it is the fact of the reality we face today in our world and in the church. Everything written has been tried and tested; it is the truth as I know it, revealed to me by God. I see my past experiences written in it, my life was a shadow with no colors, I preached the gospel to many and witnessed great testimonies in their life but my own life was the exact opposite of what I preached. I spent more efforts trying to conceal the terrible things happening to me because it was too embarrassing to show the world I was a failure even though I preached success and many were blessed by my words. Down at my lowest level, I felt I had nothing else to give, I had failed everywhere I turned and I was done but God wasn't through with me and He still isn't. I keep on remembering the words God spoke to me in my darkest hour "...if there is a 5% chance of your liberation, won't you take it?" For a man dying with cancer, 5% chance of survival is more than enough and for someone bound in spiritual slavery, 5% chance of liberation is more than enough. We all go on with our lives believing and hoping that all will be well and we'll come out of our dark hour but sometimes we're blinded by our hope in as much that we do not see the trouble causing the dark hour.

As a Christian, you take pride in your abilities, your ability to pray and fast and seek God's face, asking God not to put you to shame but show Himself mighty through you. Distinguishing yourself as the sanctified of God, bragging about your God because you believe He loves you and will not put you to shame. You are trying to make God do things for you and bragging about your choice of deity and that isn't godly. It is a wonderful thing to put your trust in God and have your confidence in Him because He truly will never fail you, but God works in partnership with His children along with principals and order. Taking pride in your abilities is the first step to your destruction. No man is God; no Pastor should take the place of God in your life. God speaks to His children through Pastors and leaders but He also speaks to His children individually, personally, confirming words in their spirit. Every Pastor is first a human being before he/she is a Pastor and nobody is perfect in deception and soon they will make a mistake that will reveal their truth you just have to know what to look out for.

Put pride aside and ask yourself if it is possible that you are bound? Is it impossible for you to be bound by these false prophets or teachings, or is your Pastor truly of God? Look at the troubles in your life, the hardships encountered, the so called challenges you face, do you think that God put them before you to strengthen you? No He didn't, they are manifestations of spiritual wickedness at work in your life, recognize them and break them. You have nothing to lose but so much to gain if you are right.

If you are in a church like Hell's ministry, a church were their doctrines are questionable or you have had troubles of hardship, poverty and lack for as long as you've been in that church, then ask yourself if a 5% chance is worth your liberation.

You may not even be bound by a false prophet but a neighbor or a friend or a family member, is a 5% chance enough? Is it worthy of your liberation? That's all it took for me and today I stand victorious, giving my testimony. No Christian should live in bondage and the price of ignorance in our day and age is too hefty to pay because the price is your soul which can never be restored.

Go back to your God, your father, seek His face as a child would seek his father and learn, live and love.

God Bless You!!!
