I have prophesied in the Lord’s name.

So, I am bound for hell?

While trying not to judge, I had to stop myself from watching lest I become too much of a critical spirit, but … to me, it seemed a too much Matthew 6:5.

I can’t judge, having never been in that kind of situation before with the eyes of the world watching me like that, but … it did seem a bit more about him and his performance, than about the moment or about God.

But hey, that’s just me and my “in the moment” first impressions. No judgments, just an observation/impression and I thank you for yours also! Your comments are always thought provoking!

But what a show, right? Our longest running great American political soap opera was very entertaining today!!

The Rev's presentation, as 1 other Freeper indicated, was based on MLKJr.'s "I have a dream" speech which MLKJr delivered during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963. The content seemed appropriate considering it was afterall, the MLK federal holiday. The delivery style was over the top and hard for me to watch, but that may well be a matter of personal style/choice. After watching the 2021 PBS documentary mini-series, "The Black Church", I guess the Rev's delivery was similar in style to the "Mississippi Whoop". Being an introvert, I have always been skeptical of theatrics in matters of worship. I know that will offend some devout charismatic and pentecostal Christians. Here is an example ...

I don’t know anything about his/her ‘claims’; but I don’t care for show-off piety and self righteousness. The poster seems guilty of exactly what he complains of in the Pastor.

In the light of the lawyer's profuse esoterical, etc. claims, including being able to read stored memories within a 30'' radius, while wresting Scripture for support, then that is not unexpected. He called some sort of Pharisee due to my opposing him.

It was not what he said, it was how he said it. There are many different techniques. I can put a person into trance without saying anything. These are things they teach in stage hypnosis. The techniques are often used by ministers when they deliver their sermon without even knowing they are doing it. They just know it gets responses similar to the way folks on here responded to the minister today.

I’ve studied this extensively, even evaluating professors of homiletics to learn the various techniques. It’s ok that people don’t understand it. I was just trying to help people to not go through the difficult experiences. But if they choose to, that ok with me.

I’ve done so much research and have had so much experience in this area that I would not expect people to understand. Maybe I’m not communicating it very well.

If you were to give me a congregation of any size, it would be easy to demonstrate. I’ve done it at conferences when lecturing on this topic as part of my demonstrations. I stop with the group just before trance and demonstrate with one person as I teach people how not to be vulnerable to it.

It’s a 4 step process that leads to the attendees locking onto the voice of the minister and losing individual discernment. People who are very easily subject to it respond the same way many have responded to my comments on this thread. Those who don’t understand it are the easiest to manipulate by a minister.

“He called some sort of Pharisee due to my opposing him.”

That’s because you sound just like them.

The time will come soon when I will demonstrate this with the public. It is not time yet. It’s so easy that when you see it done it will freak you out as there is much more to consciousness and your religion than you understand. I’ve had this happen many times with people and then I demonstrate it. The higher the person’s education the more it impacts them.

But, I also have nothing to prove as there is a reason why Jesus said, “Don’t share your pearls with the swine lest they turn on you. Many people respond just like you. Then they see and experience the demonstrations and just start shaking as they don’t believe what their eyes are seeing and they are experiencing.

Thank you for sharing about your father. Your mother’s prayers were very helpful for him when he died.

It’s not the words the minister says, but the intonations and rhetoric used to deliver the words.

My children used to do this with our dogs as a joke. They would say how bad they smell and how dirty they were in a tone of voice that caused the dogs to wag their tails and come running, even though they were demeaning them.

The techniques I speak of are what satan uses to lead people astray.

It’s easy to know if someone has a personal relationship with Jesus as I feel the fire in their heart when I am near them.

Even the left brained logical skeptics can be hypnotized. Even those that say that no one can hypnotize them. It just takes different techniques.

The only person that can’t be hypnotized is a person who has already surrendered their individual will to God. They can’t surrender it to the hypnotist if they have already surrendered it to God. I’m speaking of the reality of surrendering to God, not just wishful words that most declare.

The scripture states that not everyone that uses the Lord’s name actually knows the Lord. Jesus stated that he did not know them.

It does not say that everyone that uses the Lord’s name is not known by Him.

I posted the scripture as spacejunkie2001 stated that just because the minister used Jesus’s name several times that he was good. Jesus stated and warned us that is not always the case. Many use His name but don’t have Him in their heart.

Then they see and experience the demonstrations and just start shaking as they don’t believe what their eyes are seeing and they are experiencing.

So in the light of past reproof of your abuse of Scripture, your recourse is more ad hominem, going from Pharisee to swine. The first exposes your lack of discernment (seeing as I am a Pentecostal, and who listens daily to a repertoires of preaches, from Sid Roth to John McArthur, and many in btwn (my laptop broadcasts 24/7 over an FM transmitter), and agree on most all beliefs with all, if not all, as I must seek to follow the Truth of Scripture wherever it leads. And the second would apply to any who obey the Biblical command to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints." (Jude 3)

Your esoterical doctrine is not that which conforms to the faith "once delivered" and as I have shown, examples "wresting" of Scripture, employing it to support your occultism. Thus I oppose those who abuse Scripture as you do, as the author of a plethora of posts, postulating a mixture of metaphysical esoterical occultism, mixed with some truth, thereby deceiving the willing.

To which applies:

But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:3-4)

Here are many of your claims just from this year, and others from previous posts I engaged you, which serves to further you, while you may see it as free advertising.

We are made in God’s image. God is consciousness and we are seeds of consciousness.

“In the beginning was the Word, and that word was made flesh.” What is a “word?” It is a metaphor for a pattern of consciousness that has meaning. Just as a “name” is a metaphor for a specific individual soul consciousness. What gives life to the flesh? It is consciousness.

There are many levels. That is why I use Russian Nesting Dolls as a metaphor, where we are the little doll in the middle and God is the big outer doll. Read John 14 where Jesus states that He is in Our Father and Our Father is in Him.

Then down further Jesus says that if He is in us, (which is what Communion is all about) then Our Father that is in Him is also in us. Try to understand these scriptures without the concept of Russian Nesting Dolls and it is impossible. This is also the reality I experienced at different levels of consciousness, i.e. different levels of Heaven. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=59#59

Ever since I died and crossed over to Heaven over 35+ years ago. I have wanted to return every day. I miss it so much. Coming back into my physical body felt like my heart was ripped out. That’s why I straddle the fence of both realities and refuse to totally return in my physical body. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=47#47

the Buddhist concept of No-self is what Jesus was teaching concerning “Dying Daily.” All religions are teaching you about the anatomy and physiology of the human soul. The soul is the same, no matter your religion. Thus religions are just different perspectives of the same thing, i.e. the human soul. I’m Christian and Jesus is my Savior as He lowered Himself to the earthly level to teach me how to allow my soul to grow. That’s why 1 John 4:1 has the power it does over dark spirits.

The Bible is very accurate. Just not understood as people worship Jesus rather than following His teachings. Both are equally important. I speak from direct observation of consciousness and experience, not just theory. For me, Jesus’s teachings are very scientific. Miracles are just science that is not currently understood. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=43#43

...when consciousness frequency exceeds the speed of light, time collapses. This is why the human soul consciousness grows through a progression of frequencies of consciousness that eastern religions recognize as the chajra system. The colors associated with each of these levels of conscious are in the sequence of the rainbow, that is refracted light.

Thus, our goal while our soul occupies these physical bodies is the reverse of refraction. By embracing all levels of our consciousness, we can become whole and become White Light. That is the goal of our life in these physical bodies. God is Light and Love is the glue that holds our soul consciousness together and stabilizes it so we can reach the higher frequencies of the Heavenly realm. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=39#39

The commandment “Love God with all your heart and soul” is actually telling us to raise our consciousness to the highest level possible at all times. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=37#37

As consciousness grows and increases in frequency, it expands way beyond your physical body. As it expands, you realize that everything exists within you. You become One with Everything. How far is your head and foot from you. This is no distance as you define it as part of you...It’s as though your soul is connected to the internet and wherever you focus, you are there.

I was in a restaurant with my wife and suddenly both my legs were in extreme pain and I couldn’t stand up. I then noticed a double amputee in a wheelchair at a table near me. I was experiencing his phantom leg pain. The only way to escape the pain and suffering is to say a prayer and radiate Love and compassion for the person. This transmutes their pain consciousness before it reaches my physical body. Thus, I can be aware of their pain but not experience it...I feel the activity in people’s brains, the location of stroke patterns and brain tumors where they cannot feel. I’m still learning how this process works...when you are born again and begin to perceive directly with your consciousness. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=34#34

Quantum entanglement is done through an expansion of consciousness, way beyond the human physical body. It begins with “Transcendence” which is what Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, and all religions are teaching. When your consciousness expands, there is no limit. You quickly discover that we are all One, ....This is why Jesus stated “My Father and I are One,” and Buddha stated, “I am One with everything - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=27#27

My Father’s Mansion has many rooms, each existing at a different frequency of consciousness...Through a fellow professor friend of mine and his contacts, I was asked to do an all day presentation in 2002 for a select group of military and intelligence folks in Washington DC... JB Rhine and Swiss psychiatrist Carl Jung corresponded, sharing research on consciousness research. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4286296/posts?page=98#98

When I touch the stored memory in their consciousness, their body starts shaking and swaying back and forth. Kind of like a boat on turbulent waters. The stability of their dependency upon the bond with the parents was violated. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4285127/posts?page=52#52

“What is God?” I define God as any level of consciousness that exists above the level I am currently at....I have passed through this and entered Heaven many times, most recently in October during surgery when I left my body. I’ve also gone there many times guiding people when they die. I call this lower level of Heaven the recycling level for souls that are growing but have not grown to transcend self or the physical body. .. Once you transcend your physical body with your consciousness, you become One with Jesus and Our Father. Your soul actually expands to where the entire earth exists within you. This is what Jesus experienced when He came out of the wilderness and dtsted “My Father and I are One.” ... When you raise up in consciousness and realize that Jesus is already here, the consciousness of others and the content of thrir soul becomes physical. This is how I read people’s stored memories in their soul without them saying one word.- https://freerepublic.com/focus/religion/4202621/posts?page=51#51

stored memories in a woman's soul relating to parents are stored in her soul about fifteen feet from the physical body. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4285127/posts?page=16#16

The Matthew 13 weeds that precede the anti-messiah are here now and causing all the world turmoil. After the reign of the anti-messiah, there will be a period of darkness. During this time people will see the illusion of the anti-messiah and reject him. Only then will they go within in the great depression, the Dark-Night-of-the-Soul, and to surrender to God and Transcend self as they raise their individual consciousness to a higher level and actually experience God. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4283316/posts?page=24#24

When a person experiences “Transcendence” they begin to experience God. It is the experience of being “born again” at a new level of consciousness.... what I experienced in my own development process of awakening. It’s why Jesus, Buddha, and Krishna taught what they did....
When you transcend self and actually experience God, consciousness itself and the contents of people’s souls becomes physical to your perception and the soul development process is very simple to understand as you see it, feel it, hear it, smell it, and fully experience it. Neuroscience and frequencies of consciousness changes during life stages fully supports this development process.

The different religions are like the parable of the five blind men who are experiencing an elephant for the first time. They all describe it as something different depending upon the part of the elephant they touch. They argue and fight over who is correct, when if they could see the total elephant, they would find that they are all correct from a different perspective. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/4283316/posts?page=19#19

I personally don’t care if I die. Been there done that and it was far better than being here on earth. I give vengeance to God. I have done that many times in the past and the consequences were beyond my imagination. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/4283170/posts?page=144#144

Consciousness is physical to my perception. It’s not a woowoo science or a guessing game. It’s like x-rays are to bones. At higher frequencies of consciousness, the consciousness of others and the stored memories of their life experiences that influenced and molded their personality are physical and material to your perception. It really is simple. Everything that Jesus and Buddha taught was the knowledge of how to achieve the higher states of consciousness. The things they did are natural attributes of Higher Consciousness. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4282606/posts?page=27#27

.. have the person think of a past emotional trauma... ask them if they want to get rid of the emotional trauma so it never bothers them again....For those who want to heal the memory of the trauma, I ask them to pull in the memory and feel it fully. After a few seconds interval, I ask them to say the prayer in their mind again. I merely connect the prayerful thought to the trauma memory, and the high frequency of the prayerful consciousness dissolves all the negative emotion attached to the stored memory in their soul. Within two minutes, I ask them to recall the emotional trauma. They cannot.

When I’m sitting at Grand Rounds at the med school with over a hundred psychiatrists and neuroscientists, I can actually feel the increase in frequency of my own consciousness just from the environment of being near so many brilliant people. The human soul or individual consciousness goes out about 15 ft in all directions around the physical body. That’s about 30 ft in diameter. That means that if a person is within 30 ft of you, your soul consciousness is overlapped in the same space and you are influencing each other. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4282606/posts?page=26#26

The Holy Spirit is Higher Consciousness that is sent down to our level to help us. I see it physically as a golden swirling Light. This is why rejecting the Holy Spirit is the only unforgivable sin. It is the Holy Spirit that cleanses the sin from our souls. Without it, our soul growth is very limited.

The Holy Spirit is an intermediary that is not quite as strong as the Love and Light of Heaven. The bright Light of Heaven that shines down through the portal through the darkness to guide us home when we depart our physical bodies. Many souls cannot enter Heaven as they are holding onto darkness. The Holy Spirit can remove that darkness so a soul is no longer afraid of the Light. This is what I have observed and experienced doing Hospice work with people who are dying. - https://freerepublic.com/focus/news/4286355/posts?page=52#52

We are made in God’s image.

If it is contrary to the Bible, then it is delusion, but deceiving spirits who once inhabited a person and thus knows all abut such could inhabit a later person, thereby providing the appearance of reincarnation. Such deceiving can also convey both hidden knowledge (Acts 16:16) as well as deception which is what their purpose is, (1 Kings 22:22) as a test for souls as to what they will choose, as are the false religions they teach. (cf. Judges 3:4)

Thus, as with your delusions of deceiving spirits, from being “born again” meaning "raising your consciousness frequency through prayer and meditation to levels where you perceive directly with your consciousness beyond your physical body..." ;

stating that "Humans are souls that are planted here in the darkness of the earth to sprout and grow. They are a crop of consciousness that begins as an individual seed and then grows to be One with God. They exist within God already, but are unaware of it. God’s Higher Consciousness is a purifying fire for all things unclean;"

and of a Postmortem "semester break" "lower level of Heaven the recycling level for souls that are growing but have not grown to transcend self or the physical body" to when "our soul actually expands to where the entire earth exists within you;"

with the “lifted or raised up” Jesus spoke of being raising your brain wave frequency above 40 Hz;

and that what Paul was referring to in Hebrews 9:28 being the soul absorbing the Light energy of Heaven causing it to expand through the stored memories in their soul in reverse sequence; And you praying non stop next to women who did not eat anything for for the 3 weeks, you could see the liquid swirling golden Light around the woman... "the Holy Spirit came upon her in a lower strength of Light and cleansed her soul for 3 weeks before she was pure enough to be in the Light of Heaven."

and that "Your soul actually expands to where the entire earth exists within you. This is what Jesus experienced when He came out of the wilderness and stated, “My Father and I are One;”

and that if you, the non-retired psychic healer, sometimes merely touches a sin stored many feet from a person’s physical body in their soul then it often knocks the person off their feet. And you get freezing cold when some people die near as you as they are draining his soul energy to expand;

and with stored memories in people’s souls being about 15 feet from the physical body, expanded via soul absorbing the Light energy of Heaven, which you "read;"

to stating that men as Moses, and Saul (Paul) were among the biggest sinners;

and that the earth’s dipolar field (masculine and feminine) is what is behind souls being unshackled, being "the cause of all the gender identity issues and high divorce rate in the recent years." (yet this has been decreasing for 3,000 years, and over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average, during which Great Awakenings took place with its emphasis on holiness, while the present gender perversity is in certain countries and relative to the degree of Western influence, and which is concomitant with prosperity, as it was in Sodom: Ezek. 16:47, 48)

Overall, you are akin to Gnosticism or Swedenborgism and Roy Masters with their mixture of truth and deception, of esoteric understanding that contradicts what is actually taught in Scripture using self-evident rules of interpretation (context, grammar, etc.). "Swedenborg's approach to proving the veracity of his theological teachings was to use voluminous quotations from the Old Testament and the New Testament to demonstrate agreement with the Bible, and this is found throughout his theological writings."

In addition, there are many psychic healers who actually did heal, such as Arigo: Brazil's Surgeon of the Rusty Knife. Or you can compete with the claimed miracles of William Branham

The test is what doctrinal compromise will one pay for healing. No one is saved by heat like a furnace cleansing for 3 weeks on earth to be made pure enough to be in the Light of Heaven. Etc. Which is akin to RC Purgatory, versus Scripture, in which wherever Scripture clearly speaks of the next conscious reality for those who die in effectual obedient justifying faith (which is imputed for righteousness) then it is with the Lord, at death or His return (Lk. 23:43 [cf. 2Cor. 12:4; Rv. 2:7]; Phil 1:23; 2Cor. 5:8 [“we”]; 1Cor. 15:51ff'; 1Thess. 4:17) Note in the latter case all believers were assured that if the Lord returned, which they expected in their lifetime, so would they “ever be with the Lord.” (1Thes. 4:17) though they were still undergoing growth in grace, as was Paul, who expressed he would go to be with the Lord at death, yet was not already perfect. (Phil. 3:10ff)

And thereby you further manifest yourself as being a false teacher, who, "preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, " "another spirit," "another gospel!" (2 Corinthians 11:3-4) For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:13-14)

Well, I’m not into ‘religionists’ who think they have a direct line to God. You shouldn’t be either.

There is a difference btwn someone who makes themselves subject to a supreme standards for belief and practice, using common means of interpretation (unlike atheists typically example) versus one who uses the Bible in order to support whatever elite esoterical gurus think experiences, or claims. See post above.

And you can save the typical skeptic arguments about Christians disagreeing with each other about the Bible, as aside the liberals for whom the Bible is an elastic mud puddle, and cults who follow a supreme human leader or body as their real authority, and those who are quite ignorant of Scripture, those who do hold to Scripture as their sure supreme standard and its own hermetical principles, have long attested to being the the most unified large religious group (at least in the West) in key basic values and fundamental beliefs.

The major disagreement among the learned of such is btwn the tribes of Calvinism and Arminianism, and typically related positions, yet both can believe the same essential gospel. And in parachurch Christian ministries, such often work side by side in that interest.

You are by far THE most deceived person I have ever encountered.

You are so full of yourself and your alleged abilities and how much you are in demand by everyone that’s somebody, that you have actually destroyed any credibility you may have had.

Your pride and bragging demonstrate that very clearly and precious little of it is believable.

Such a perfect example of your pride and bragging.
