Repent and get washed in the blood of Jesus--THEN it will be for you.] Dear Christian Friends: Greetings in the name of the ONLY wise God and Saviour Jesus. *****AN HORROR OF GREAT DARKNESS***** Last Friday, I went to bed at 2:30 and awoke at approximately 4:45 am and lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon me. Genesis 15:12 And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, AN HORROR OF GREAT DARKNESS FELL UPON HIM. I had come near Satan's work earlier that evening (specifics below) and when I awoke with the horror around me, I went downstairs still dismayed at the darkness of this world and prayed. I've been having some problems with my hair coming out but when I prayed I told the Lord, "I don't care" if my hair comes out help me to do exploits! How to explain the horror. It was like I was surrounded by a whole world possesed by a malignant, evil, foul, unclean spirit. It didn't touch me or my spirit, but I realized that this world has been consumed by this ancient spirit. He is invisible to the eye, but readily apparent to the spiritually awake. May the sleeping elect awake to righteousness and sin not instead of making excuses. *****THE ANTECEDENT TO THE HORROR***** My husband and I have worked with young people for some time now and I'm always looking for resources that will help us minister to them. Well, I was looking through the CBD (Christian Book Distributors) catalogue and came across several titles. [Note: CBD is ecumenical and soft but sometimes you can find some good buys on profitable volumes.] One series of videos for teens was by James Dobson. Yes, he is an NIV, ecumenical, soft-type. I do not know why I ordered them, (maybe 'cause they were so cheap and I figured I could get something out of them) but I did. On Friday night my church sister's niece came to stay for the weekend so that she would not be home alone. After watching a Christian film I told her she could go to bed if she wanted but that I was going to watch the Dobson tape on porno. She stayed up. Dobson is soft but I did get something out of that video--I hasten to add that I DO NOT suggest that anybody get that video or any of his stuff. A few examples of how soft Dobson is. (1) On the video, Dobson admitted that he was on some Attorney General's task force for porno. He said they WATCHED all kinds of porno including violent sodomites and even worse. What? How could he sit there watching that and even physically go into the abysses that sell the stuff? He is a man and he has lust in him like any other man. He can talk as if he were a neutral observer if he wants to but I ain't buying it. If somebody said to me, "Tracy, you want to be on this task force?" I would be like, "You GOTS to be crazy. I ain't settin' that abomination in front of my eyeballs!" (2) He said that he liked (on a personal level) some ACLU lawyer that takes the stand that child porno SHOULD BE legal. What? My heart GRIEVES over the children. Sometimes I just pray for kids. All kids that's being abused. And he is going to like a man that says child porno should be legal? (3) One last thing (though it's not all I could say)--a kid on the video asked Dobson what he should do if he knew somebody into porno. What did Dobson say? Essentially, "tell him how you feel about it." That may be verbatim what he said. How about "REPENT OF THIS THY WICKEDNESS AND GET WASHED IN THE BLOOD OF JESUS! FLEE FROM THE WRATH TO COME! HELL IS REAL! THE LAKE OF FIRE IS REAL! BRING FORTH FRUITS MEET FOR REPENTANCE!" Ahhhh, but no. Dobson didn't give the child one Bible verse, just some useless mumbo-jumbo. Then HOW was the video useful to you, tracy? Ted Bundy's interview with Dobson was on there. Ted Bundy was a serial killer, who brutally murdered and raped at least 28 women--the last victim was 12 years old. While on death row, a married couple kept witnessing to Bundy. They say that he confessed Christ. Before he died, he decided he had a message to give to the world and he wanted Dobson to do the interview. The interview occured the night before his death in the electric chair. Ted Bundy had something to say to you and me. He said that violence in the MEDIA "can snatch a kid out any house today. It snatched me out of my home 30 years ago." He also said something about hellivision that I transcribed below. I HATE hellivision. Anyone that knows me, knows that. When I see it, it is hell I vision, hence, hellivision. Professed Christians keep on skipping along watching it, their consciences being seared everytime they ignore the promptings of the Holy Ghost--for those who can still hear Him. Keep ignoring Him and you won't hear Him. Ted Bundy, the dead man, yet speaketh. He said that even if victim families do not believe he is sorrowful and repentant, he hopes that they-- "...will believe what I am saying now. That there is loose in their towns and in their communities people like me today whose dangerous impulses are being *fueled* day in and day out by violence in the MEDIA in its various forms--particularly sexualized violence. And what scares me--and let's come into the present now--because what I'm talking about happened 20-30 years agao, that is, in my formative stages. And what scares and appalls me, Dr. Dobson, is when I SEE WHAT'S ON CABLE TV [gives an incredulous smile and short chortle] some of the movies--I mean some of the violence in the movies THAT COME INTO HOMES today was stuff that they would not show in X-rated adult theatres 30 years ago. That stuff, I'm telling you from personal experience...graphic violence on screen PARTICULARLY AS IT GETS INTO THE HOME...children may be unattended...there are kids sitting out there switching the tv dial around, they come upon these movies late at night...and any kid can watch them. It's scary when I think what would've happened to me if I could have seen...It was scary enough that I just ran into stuff OUTSIDE the home. But to know that children are watching that kind of thing today or can pick up their phone and dial away for it...But I tell you there are lots of other kids playing around in the streets who are going to be dead tomorrow and the next day and the next day and next month because other young people are reading the kinds of things and seeing the kids of things that are available in the media today." More from Ted, the dead man speaking, in a moment. Kids don't need to see that Satanic doctrine AND NEITHER DO ADULTS. They are setting themselves up for DEVIL-POSSESSION. This war that we fight is for the minds of men. A bank robbery first occurs in the the lusty, thievin' man's MIND. He thinks about it and it eventually manifests itself in him physically robbing a bank. The Devil has men's minds on "lockdown". He satisfies their lusts so that they can't even think straight. Critical thinking skills? None. Those that profess Christ that think they cannot live without hellivision have Satan's claws all up in their brains. May I suggest that you root out that invader and make your calling and election sure? The dead man, Ted Bundy, described his attraction to porno as an addiction. He needed more and more. He finally got to the point where he wondered if doing what he saw would give him more excitement that just reading about it or looking at it. A Christian does not fall into adultery over night. That person has been slipping and slidding well before commiting whoredom. Their minds are loose, they are not vigilant in every area. Hellivision is usual fare. Plenty of room for Satan to slide in and give 'em what they want--flesh pleasing trash. They look at what they feel like, think about what they feel like, listen to what they feel like, read what they feel like, resist the promptings of the Holy Ghost when they feel like. Then when their hour of temptation comes (Satan makes sure it comes) they like dumb ox led to the slaughter they easily give in like a house built out of cards fall down with the slightest breeze. No resistance. Even if their lusts are not physically played out, they are still spiritual criminals. I remember when I watched hellivision and had cable. There was a furniture show on that was very useful to me. But one day they talked about Christianity as a "bankrupt religion". Do you think I watched that show anymore? My flesh wanted to just ignore the heathens and get some more tips, but my mind, convicted by the Holy Ghost, said "No! You'll still get what you need elsewhere!" And so it was. We must YIELD to the promptings of the Holy Ghost. What did dead man Bundy say about his first murder? He said it was like coming out of a "horrible trance. To have been POSSESSED by something so awful, so alien and then the next morning wake up from it, remember what happened....to realize what I had done...absolutely horrified." When I was dead in trespasses and sins, there were things that I did that were inexplicable. I had some devils. I don't know if they were in me or all around me. All I know is that they influenced me. For many years I thought there was only one but then one night one said, "Leave that girl alone," as if talking to another one. There IS a spirit world, friends. I know about it from the Devil's side and the Lord's side. Some may say, "I already know that." But do we REALLY know? Those that watch hellivision do not REALLY know. If they did, they would stop inviting Satan into their home. They would stop taking pleasure in unrighteousness-- Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but HAVE PLEASURE IN THEM THAT DO THEM. Watching sinners sin on hell-i-vision is having pleasure in those that do abominable, unrighteous things. Let's look at the preceding verses in Romans and see if we can find any of the fruits of hellivision-- Romans 1:29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers, 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, 1:31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful: 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. This list is like a synopsis of what you find on hellivision. Sitting there watching evil communications on hell-i-vision says, "Yes, Satan, thank you for coming into my home and entertaining me. Please sit here on the couch next to me and massage my flesh. This is really helping me to unwind from a hard day's work. Jesus? Oh, He doesn't see and He doesn't mind me disrespecting Him. You see, I said the sinner's prayer and so I can do whatever I want to. I'm safe. Matthew 7:21-23, that ain't me. I don't believe in that Lordship salvation business. I can despise the commandments and embrace you and your evil ways and still be on my way to glory. You see, saving faith does not necessarily produce good works. James did not know what he was talking about. My preacher said so. Jesus is my Saviour, but you are my Lord. I could never give up my hellivision. What would I do with my time? I like you and your entertainments. In fact, I think I love you." I know what it is like to get in from work and want to "unwind". I have not always been a Bible-believing, stirred up, Christian, homemaker. I know quite a bit about the dark side. More than most would imagine. My manner of life is nothing short of miraculous. My manner of thoughts is nothing short of miraculous. Jesus shed the blood and sent the Holy Ghost to light my fire, convict me of sin and unrighteousness and to lead me in the path of life. My name has been written in the Book and it will not be blotted out. I ignorantly served the Devil for 25 years but now I serve Christ based on the wisdom that cometh down from above. How then I can I mix up Satan's work with my renewed mind? I cannot. The Lord has taught me how to roll along with His sanctifying work in me. When He convicts me, I roll with it instead of resisting the conviction. I don't walk around scared of the Devil, but I am aware that he is a formidable foe who will seek any opening to come into my life and neutralize me. *****CONCLUSION***** 2 Corinthians 10:5 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; 2 Corinthians 6:17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye SEPARATE, saith the Lord, and TOUCH NOT the unclean thing [like hellivision and hell-y-wood]; and I will receive you. Hellivision is pure imagination. Vain imagination. It's pretend world. Useless and detrimental. It is thundering and lightning here, so I will close and get off of the computer. God speed to all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ of a truth. for Jesus' sake, tracy -- http://www.jesus-is-lord.com ...I do send thee unto them; and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD. And thou, son of man, be not afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns be with thee, and thou dost dwell among scorpions: be not afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.
