Hell-o-ween:
www.history.com/media.do A pagan celebration of death. Unfortunately many "Christians" and "churches" happily partake of this occultic observance which is one of the "high" satanic holidays. The Russians know something "Christian America" does not?
It's back, the yearly pagan celebration of death and horror. Once upon a time when America was culturally Christian, the "fun" and "harmless" celebration of death and the forces of Darkness was not even a practice. But that was when the majority of people, and especially the Christians, wanted nothing to do with practices that glorified satans' kingdom and the world of witchcraft.
But with the watering down of Christianity today, it is common for churches and Christians to participate in the obviously pagan aspects of the "witches sabbat". If your church group sponsors, participates, or turns a blind eye to the customs of this celebration of death, you have your exit visa stamped. It is time to leave.
If this article offends you, I point you to Jesus and a heart-searching for why a Christian would have agreement with the symbolism and customs pertaining to a non-Christian celebration that glorifies witchcraft and death.
Can you imagine Jesus or any of the disciples or their wives donning a witch's outfit or monster mask? Then why would a disciple of Jesus Christ want anything to do with this horrific holiday? If you answer "because it is fun", please..., did Jesus Christ die on the cross so you could please satan with a little fun?
In God's eyes, there is nothing good, fun, or Christ-like about Halloween. 2Cor 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
Are you a Christian, does Jesus live in you? Do you really think you can have agreement with this pagan celebration of death and horror and the Lord is pleased when you dress up your children to beg for treats?
We ought to be casting out demons not putting out a welcome sign for them.
Acts 19:17-19
... and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.
And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds.
Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
There is one passage of scripture where the elements of Hell-o-ween will be found in abundance, and that is the world wide body of the Harlot Church.
Revelation 18:2-4 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.
For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities."

Update to: The MONEY IS FAILING
"Because my people have not used my blessings of abundance to meet the needs of their brethren, they will learn to meet the needs of others from the little they have left.
When they had much, they gave little, and that into the hands of those who decieved them. Now I will fill their world and their eyes with those in need and thus will they be purified of their greed." -We heard this in prayer the morning of January 23, 2008.
What is happening around us this October is nothing less than the destruction of the world financial system and the bringing together of world leaders creating the formation of another one. The worthless mortgage promises of millions of Americans was sold and resold around the world. It is collapsing and before it is over, the pensions, retirement funds, IRA's, 401k's and other savings will all be wiped out and people left with a fraction of what they thought they had.
As of this date, over TWO TRILLION of assest value (the life savings of a generation) has been vaporized in the US Stock Market. It is not over. What will come next is a massive inflationary-devaluation of the dollar. When the world turns it back on the dollar en masse, our dollars will be exposed as worthless paper. We will not have long to wait.
The next step may be a regional currency called the "Amero". Maybe. There will be a followup form of currency to deal with the CHAOS of a dollar collapse as well as a worldwide bank run. For there to be a world-wide, one-money system which politicians are openly speaking about, there must be the destruction of the dollar. People, even Christians who serve mammon, will gladly accept what Revelation 13 calls "the mark" or "the number of his name".
As world leaders meet in Washinton this weekend in an emergency meeting, part of the discussion includes closing of the securities markets and rewriting the rules for a new economic system. Article
After the dollar is finished, the little we have given back to us will be in the form of a devalued new money (for example one thousand dollars converted to 50 Ameros.) Can you imagine getting paid 8 or 10 ameros a day?
If it by-passes this step and we go into a universal currency, the same will happen. The result will be a days wages to buy a loaf of bread and the "beast" will bring out the one-world economic system that features the "mark". (Rev. 6:6, a penny was a days wages in the verse.) Either scenario which will unfold in the next few weeks and months willl bring the end of our old way of living financially.
Those who put their faith in any of the worlds system, whether it be a government check, gold and silver coins (at best a temporary form of wealth), or their belief in a recovery will be sorrowful. It is ALL going to fail and be replaced by the New World Order "beast" system. The golden calf worshipped by the backslidden children of Israel as they left Egypt has grown up as an end-time Wall Street Bull. *
Recently I heard the story of a man in North Carolina who decided to protect himself against future troubles. He bought firearms with supplies, food storage, security systems, and precious metals. He stated he was "ready for anything". Unbelievably, the one thing he was not ready for happened. A great storm and flood came which destroyed his stockpile and ruined his defensive hardware. He was wiped out by something he had no control over, -the weather.
Heaping Treasures for the Last Days?
What about gold and silver?
A lot of Christian radio and internet writers heavily promote protecting your assetts with metals, contrary to scripture. The Bible says those very things will become a witness against us if we hang onto them for financial salvation.
James 5:3 Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
1 Peter 1:18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
Acts 20:33 I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. (Paul was no advocate for investing in metals,. -nor their tithes or money)
Those that have the power to harvest the savings and wealth of people around the world (now in progress) will not overlook those who buy the worldly insurance of gold and silver. Although for a short time, during the chaotic collapse of the dollar, gold and silver will skyrocket in value, you can expect to see it all either confiscated outright by being declared illegal to own (the USA did this before under FDR), and/or it will be pegged to a near worthless value on a new currency. (The Amero, or a worldwide common currency, or the mark).
The same type of beast government that said this in 1 Kings 20:3 Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine", can repeat history in our day.
The Good News:
Now we are stewards over 100% of what is in our hands. Jesus said in Luke 14:33 "except ye renounce ALL that ye have, ye cannot be my disciple". Have you taken this step?
God has already promised to meet all of our needs and He is still able to furnish a table in the wilderness and multiply loaves and fishes. God's economy is not of this world which is based on buying and selling. God's economy is one of giving and receiving!
Here is how we may protect ourselves from the economic collapse and have peace:
1. Sell, give, and downsize. asap. It took us 4 years. We don't have four more years to prepare.
2. Get involved in ministering to people in need and "remember the poor".
Here is how you prepare for the day when the money faileth, from 1Tim. 6:
17 Charge them that are *rich in this present world, that they be not highminded, nor have their hope set on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;
18 that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to communicate (means share);
19 laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on the life which is life indeed. *rich simply means having more than enough.
Proverbs 19:17 He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.
Do you see it? I heard a Christian radio host take a call from a man who had food, water, guns, and all of the survival gear he needed. He also had invested great sums of money in gold and silver. His question to the host was in essence "what yet do I lack?" The Christian Radio Host stuttered and paused as he had no answer for the survivalist caller.
Mat. 19:20-21. The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet? Jesus said unto him, If thou wilt be perfect, go and sell that thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come and follow me.
We are now entering the cleansing phase from which a remnant will come forth. -And we will learn what it is to walk in the scripture in meeting the needs of others. This is what the Lord spoke to me in the Word given at the top of this article.
Does this make you fearful? -If so you need to draw closer to Jesus where there is no fear.
Begin to "store up" the living bread of God's Word today. Fill your barns with scripture and learn to stand in faith in what is written. Give freely and meet the needs of others, didn't Jesus say "sell what you have and GIVE TO THE POOR"?
Why not test God at His Word? Sell some stuff and give where it will meet someones need, instead of the offering plate or some hired preacher.

Genesis 47:ll the Egyptians came unto Joseph, and said, Give us bread: for why should we die in thy presence? for our money faileth." The money is failing but God never does.

"We were trained to feed the offering plate rather than those in need"
Have you have visited a church and had a cute little envelope handed to you inscribed with this?
" for God loveth a cheerful giver."...2Cor. 9:7 ???
In our old fellowship, it was the offering collector "with the best annointing" who would use this verse to encourage the trusting folks down there in the pews to contribute into the basket or plate. One dear lady even referred to other verses in that context, in order to see our finances going into the envelope from vs. 10: which says:
"he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness" .
Her doctrine and that of our church was that money was our "seed" and we were regularly encouraged by the leadership to sow that seed into that envelope because "God wants to bless you". Now we believe God surely does want to bless us although it is not necessarily along the lines of have loads of cash and a new car in the driveway every year.
Allow me to kick over a sacred cow and tell you the truth.
What the nice man and the well dressed lady up there behind the pulpit did not understand, as they extorted (i.e. manipulated) our giving was a lie. The envelope's contents, for the most part, goes to fund their group, building, and a hired clergy.
The 2Corinthians ch. 9 passage they quoted from in the Bible said the "seed" and the "cheerful giver" was specifically for the following persons:
1 For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you: and..
9 "He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.", and again Paul tells us in vs.
12 "For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants (needs) of the saints".
13: "for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all;"
Clunk, I think a deacon just dropped his silver, felt-lined offering plate. For the sake of brevity, I will not list the other 118 verses that say the same thing, only to point out to you again that very, very little of what we chucked into the ole "storehouse' (that is not New Testament either), went anywhere near where the Scripture said it was supposed to go. That is, to the needy "saints".
Yes, this is the very passage so often used for the weekly, first day of the week, plate-passing tradition. It was never for the building, program, remodel fund, church overhead, mortgage, rent, tithes, salaries, or music dept.
We have been robbed, lied to, and become victims of extortion. By the way, if you are a deacon, teacher, pastor, or "annointed " offering taker, take a look at that word "extortion".
extortion: Definition from Answers.com extortion n. The act or an instance of extorting. Illegal use of one's official position or powers to obtain property, funds, or patronage
Extortion, illegal use of one's position to obtain what?
That is SOP in Christianity today whether on Christian TV or from behind a pulpit. Read the verses quoted above once again, and ask yourself, "Where does that tithe and or offering go that I just paid?" Was that "cheerful giver" about funding a ministry-organization checking account or was it meant to meet the needs of the saints?
Mat. 23:25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
1Cor 6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
Brother Pastor, Deacon Jones, and Sister Offering taker, where is that "seed" going you just took from God's people? May I remind you there is not a single verse in the New Testament giving you authority or instruction to take tithes from any church or Christian?
-And that the "cheerful giver" God loves was giving to the poor and needy "saints". You are robbing the poor and illegaly, according to our New Testament covenant, taking your financial support from the trusting folks sitting in the pew.
The fact that you were not given the truth in Bible College and that your fellow pastors all practice this error does not make it right. May the truth here cause you to change your mind and REPENT. May the church goers read this and repent. Why would God have someone take offerings to pay for financial overhead to keep everything running that God never wanted in the first place?
2Cor 9: 5
I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your aforepromised bounty, that the same might be ready as a matter of bounty, and not of extortion.
6 But this I say, He that soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he that soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. (Where were they sowing?)
7 Let each man do according as he hath purposed in his heart: not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound unto you; that ye, having always all sufficiency in everything, may abound unto every good work:
9 as it is written, He hath scattered abroad, he hath given to the poor; His righteousness abideth for ever.
10 And he that supplieth seed to the sower and bread for food, shall supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness:
11 ye being enriched in everything unto all liberality, which worketh through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the ministration of this service not only filleth up the measure of the wants of the saints, but aboundeth also through many thanksgivings unto God;
13 seeing that through the proving of you by this ministration they glorify God for the obedience of your confession unto the gospel of Christ, and for the liberality of your contribution unto them and unto all;
It all started in vs1 "For as touching the ministering to the saints, it is superfluous for me to write to you"
But we were trained to feed the offering plate rather than ministering to the saints.
This is Reason # 911 to stop funding apostate churches and come out from among them. Let God lead you in your giving. He is able to tell you how much and to whom.
Do you have the courage to follow the Lamb in giving to God's people rather than the traditional Sunday offering? And yes, most of those pastors would need to get real jobs and help support the weak and needy just as Paul instructed them to in Acts 20 and other places.
If you see the truth here, PLEASE PASS THIS ALONG TO YOUR EMAIL LIST. Time is short and God's people need to learn how to meet the needs of others.
