When the Wheat and the Weeds Look Alike!

30 May
PAM SHEPPARD MINISTRIES IS NOT A PUPPETMASTER!

I have been watching churchfolk for over 4 decades. On this spiritual journey, I have witnessed dedication and commitment among people who fall in both categories: weeds and wheat. In fact, those who I recall being the most zealous and supportive of the institutional church have been people proven to have been the tares, aka the weeds, as Jesus Christ revealed “among Satan’s seed.”

Certainly, I believe that the people who are consistent followers and online members of Pam Sheppard Ministries are sincere. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN PLAYING A GAME TO SURVIVE IN FEAR OF BEING BANNED OR BLOCKED IF THEY SAY OR DO ANYTHING I WOULD CONSIDER UNACCEPTABLE.

I am especially thinking of those who have been helped, relieved of torment, Those who taken back their free will and who have made a commitment to stay involved with this ministry, not out of fear that they won’t be born again if they leave. That sort of fear is why many remain committed to a dead institutional church in spite of clear evidence of manipulation, domination and control.


ARE the members of Pam Sheppard Ministries chosen for salvation? without a doubt, each of our members have been committed from at least 1 to 8 years. therefore, as I know them by their fruit, I believe the members are of the elect because the Bible says that NO ONE WILL SEEK GOD WITHOUT HIM CAUSING THEM TO DO SO. THE TRUTH IS THAT THE DARKNESS UPON ALL OF HUMANITY MANDATES GOD HIMSELF TO CAUSE US TO WANT HIM.

Therefore, if sinners And people who once had false conversions embrace what I teach and preach, it was God who caused them to embrace it. As such, I suspect that all of my committed members are of the elect. But I can’t say with absolute certainty that everyone we have served will be born again because there is a time when the wheat and the weeds look alike.


Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25 But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away. 26 When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared. 27 “The owner’s servants came to him and said, ‘Sir, didn’t you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?’ 28 “‘An enemy did this,’ he replied. “The servants asked him, ‘Do you want us to go and pull them up?’ 29 “‘No,’ he answered, ‘because while you are pulling the weeds, you may uproot the wheat with them. 30 Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.’”Matthew 13:24-30
I give you this scripture because none of us really knows for sure who is one of the chosen ones because there is a time when the wheat and the tare (weeds) look alike.

Here is the Lord’s own interpretation of His own parable:
He answered, “The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. 38 The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40 “As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. 42 They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.Matthew 13:37-43

So it is quite simple.


Those who come to this ministry for help are either one of God’s seed or one of the enemy’s seed. Satan does not usually torment his own seed. So I suspect those who Satan torments belong to God.

BUT I DONT KNOW WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY AS I AM REQUIRED TO WALK BY FAITH. As such, as long as you demonstrate that you want my help and I see progress, I don’t dwell on “whose seed you are!!!!”
The generic problem is that most i have sought God out of fear. Why? Because they have been religious and so they were trained to seek Him. But I find that such folk believe in Hell more than they believe in the ONE who created hell. they believe in damnation more than they believe salvation.

Organized religion has caused its followers and seekers to “not be free.” Some live and die committed to a system of taskmasters and therefore do not recognize freedom. that is a problem for a ministry like this. We set you free from the bondage of religion and then you label us and try to force us to steal the independence that We fostered in YOU! You simply cannot live without a taskmaster!


You want to be independent and so you resent having to seek help from anyone, so We don’t take it personal. YOU ARE INDEPENDENT. We live in a society where we are always bartering for help. dentists. Stores. mechanics. Just because we seek others for help does not make us any less independent.


perhaps you have sought help from PSM. Believe me, you are as independent as you are when you use other service providers. Seeking help requires commitment. That commitment does not have to be permanent. You are in this for the help. Do not put yourself back in bondage. Remember this. The groups and making comments is not for us.


ITS FOR YOU!


So use us to work on you. That is what we are here for. You pay me for deliverance counseling just like you pay a mechanic or a dentist. As they don’t sit around hoping you will make a lifetime commitment to them,


NEITHER DO I!!!!

God is the one who creates bonding and lifetime commitment. I know who those people are because of their actions of faith. Faith without works is dead. If you don’t feel within your inner being a lifetime commitment to this ministry, we understand.

Be free and do YOU!

The Lord’s Plan Is Greater

25 May

It’s quite evident, seeing how Satan came after us, that he had a plan. Yet, the Lord God Himself did too. And, the Lord’s plan is greater.

Satan A Limited Agenda

As manipulating and strong the Devil is, his power is surfaced to a limit. In no way can anything the Devil do be out of his own discord. Everything is monitored by God and he can only go forth as permitted.

This causes many to go to a line of thinking that God should just destroy the Devil. Which, God will do so, but He is not done with him yet.

All of us here at the ministry can personally attest that the Devil has an entire formula, and calculated motivation to lead us to destruction. Our Pastors words ring true, “different folks for different folks.” Each of us were led by Satan in a different way. All of our histories, cultures, traditions, personalities were part of the Devil’s operation for us to fail. But, God had other plans….

Born Again And Born To Hope

God’s predestined plan for us to be born-again destroyed all the Devil had planned. Of course the Devil is always planning destruction born again or not. But, the overall “course” of life unto evil that ensnared us was broken and we were given a new way of living.

One thing I had such bondage to being in the visible church was my past. I carried such a long shadow from my sins, and always felt ashamed. I could never be free from the memories that kept me looking back. As much as I wanted to be free, I was bound.

Becoming born again THROUGH the Resurrection of Jesus Christ of Nazareth redeemed me, and washed away my past. As if all the shadows dashed away by light. I could finally be new and not held by what I did. In other words, I have such hope.

And it’s this hope I see with our ministry. The hope that Jesus of Nazareth is the God of salvation. And although the Devil took some of our past, I just see how all of us don’t care and have no regrets, shame, and fear about the past. Which is encouraging, since many people in religion have cut off their past, and live in dread, guilt, and pain of it.

Feel Stuck?

New life, means new. And if you are so overwhelmed with your past, it could be an indication you are still in sin.

We cannot psychologically brainwash ourselves through religion to bring change and forget the past. The supernatural power of God’s salvation involves no such process. Call 888-818-1117 our ministry hotline to get hope, encouragement, and clarity. THE LORD’S PLAN IS GREATER!!!!

Living With Addiction

20 May

Living with addiction is an extremely draining, and even a hostile environment. It seems as all the help and good you want to offer is rejected, and ignored—sucked into a black hole. Recently, I have received revelation with what to do if you live in a home with someone who abuses themselves with alcohol and drugs.

Step One

The first thing you must do if the person does not have an aggressive behavior is too indirectly confront them in the spirit of gentleness. Since, a lot of addicts take offense easily. It’s best during confronting to make it about yourself. For example, “I cannot do this anymore, it’s hurting me.” People who are in addiction often do not have self-awareness of how they harm others and themselves.

If you live with an aggressive person, confrontation is not the best and can be dangerous. Depending on the circumstance you may have to leave the environment, and go through the hassle of moving out.

Remember, always try to confront the person when they are sober. And make sure the timing is right. Do not confront them if they are too emotional, angry, and upset. Confrontation is always going to be uncomfortable, but if the person sees your perspective then they might get help. If they deny the confrontation and continue their addiction here is the next step.

Step Two

Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries!!!!

Maybe people who have been living with addiction are often blinded by the toxicity of the person’s problems. Blinded because of affections, emotions, and thus turn a “blind eye” to the person. And, in order to preserve themselves and their relationship with the addicted person they will become “servants” of the addiction.

Psychology calls it “co-dependency” but the best way to describe it is “toxic help.” The one living with addiction helps in every way, does things, takes care of them, but the one thing this person avoids is the abuse itself. It’s almost like how doctors often take care of the symptoms by prescribing medication but not taking care of the cause of the symptoms. In this analogy, the toxic help, will go on forever, never actually achieving any results.

Overtime, the person helping will begin to think they are responsible for “saving” the person. That they are the only ones who can help them. The error of this thinking leads to a devastating life of sadness, despair, frustration, and pain.

Step Two Contiuned

So, back to boundaries. A person struggling with “toxic help” has had the abusive person’s addictions walk all over them. What needs to be done is an assertive measure to refuse the addiction’s power from crossing over the boundary.

Sometimes this may be leaving the environment, or ending the relationship or “putting it on hold”. Temporary distance, maybe be required. Less interaction, less attention, are all ways to set up boundaries. Since, ultimately the goal of the abusive person is for you to go along with their addiction in all its excuses and rationalizations.

Boundaries can be difficult to set up if you have been so drawn over with the person’s burdens. You may need time alone to assess what needs to be done, and what boundaries can no longer be crossed. For example, no longer drinking in the presence of an alcoholic is a boundary.

Caution!

People who abuse alcohol and drugs are extremely unpredictable. Anytime you interact with them, you must come in a “spirit of gentleness” or “innocent as a dove.” Yet, at the same time you must be an undercover “wise serpent” judging, and handling the situation with wisdom.

Never approach an addict with hostility, frustration or anger. It will only make things worse.

You have to know the addict, and yourself. Honestly, sometimes it’s just easiest to leave the environment, and stay somewhere else.

Step Three: Don’t Grow Weary

Living with addiction is a subtle gloomy, dark, and chaotic world. Everything good, full of life is sucked and pulled into the addiction. The Devil loves using people with addiction to create all hell, sadness, and havoc in the homes of loved ones; to steal your joy, and healthy attitude, and good outlook on life. Don’t fall in the trap of pessimism! Keep being optimistic….

Here at Pam Sheppard Ministries we can give you all the support, and comfort you need. In these times of quarantine it may be even more draining and tiresome living with addicted, abusive people. We are 11th hour workers, here online and you can reach out to us. Call now at 888-818-1117 or email getreadyforthelord@gmail.com

You are not responsible for bearing another person’s addiction. You are responsible though for not allowing their addiction to ruin YOUR LIFE! Be mentally strong, and fight the fight of your soul.

The Holy Spirit Moved on Me to Say that I am a Prophet

20 May

As I was speaking in the Zoom Sunday Service, I was feeling what is akin to righteous anger at all the nay sayers. Was it my anger or that of the Holy Ghost?
I suspect it was both. But it did not feel like MY anger. For my outburst shocked even me as I intended to teach and not “to declare what thus saith the Lord.”


Based upon my own shock at what boldly came out of my mouth, I am reminded of when Jesus told His disciples that when they spoke, it would not be them speaking but the spirit of the Lord. It is recorded in the gospels as He was sending them out as described in Matthew 10.


This is how it felt. LIKE I WAS NOT SPEAKING. MY FAITH AND CONFIDENCE WAS THROUGH THE ROOF, BEYOND MY NORMAL, NATURAL STATE. I thought to myself, “Who is this? It is not me so therefore it must be God or the devil.


Recently I have been considering and mentioning here and there that I am getting my disciples ready for the end, that I am fine with dying and going to be with the Lord and leaving the ministry to them. So I suspect that I have been angering the Holy Ghost for speaking of and accepting dying when I am healthy enough to be alive when the Lord returns.

So in truth, I expect I will be alive when Jesus Christ comes. I am just an “all options good or bad” , “if not” kind of person. In other words, I plan for all possibilities. What I have actually done is simply face death and in so doing , I am no longer afraid of dying before my work is completed. Much work is left to do as I have only begun the training process for some. Even my written curriculum is only partially completed.

Nevertheless, the Coronavirus has clearly shown me that I don’t miss the world, that I am glad to be away from people and their foolishness, and that I desire that Jesus come back RIGHT NOW!

What I anticipate is my connection to Matthew 10:


You will be brought before governors and kings for My sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles. But when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it will be given to you in that hour what you should speak; for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.Matthew 10:18-20


That is exactly how it felt on Sunday, May 17, 2020, like someone else was speaking through me.

It was mild. Easy to “overlook” —-not like when an evil spirit actually did speak through me almost half a century ago. When I was unknowingly a practicing occultist in 1975, a fallen angel stepped into me AND SPOKE!

I felt like my throat was grabbed at the larynx. At first, I became dizzy, almost incoherent when my spirit left my body and I looked back at myself from a corner in the room and heard myself screaming “let me back in” but the people assembled could not hear me.

That was a frightful thing, believe me!!!

Such. Thing has not happened to me again in 45 years!


It should be noted that last Sunday, I did not leave my body. Instead, my mind went into a kind of “suspended animation.” It was hard to tell, if this was me or if this was NOT me speaking. So notice in this scripture, that while the Lord was talking to the 12, Jesus intentionally spoke these words, knowing that what He said to the twelve would be eventually recorded in the Bible, specifically intended for the 11th hour workers to see:


“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes.

A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.Matthew 10:21-26


In 1979, 2 yrs born again, I heard a voice declare, referring to me, “touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm.” The man who I would eventually marry in 1988 had harmed me seriously, that very day in the summer of 1979. Later that same night, I heard a voice tell me to go to his house. I refused but the voice would not relent so I got in my car and drove to Billy’s place.


When I I arrived, huge orange flames were blazing through Billy’s windows. I was shocked by the fire, but even more, the voice that sent me there called me a prophet with a quotation that I did know at the time was even in the Bible. Nor did I know then what a prophet was. I thought to myself “all of this stuff is rather spooky!”


There are other signs I have received that suggest that I am an end time prophet—-manifestations that I have been periodically receiving over the years. I admit that there have been a significant number of indications and revelations. . First cautious, and then believing the signs, I was aware that others would not believe me. . So I kept my mouth shut on this for 41 years. Since my trial sermon in 1981, I have been called a preacher, a teacher and evangelist. But not a prophet.

So for two days now, I wondered, “who was that who spoke through me? Was that God, the devil, or did I lose control of the message, and utter what was unplanned?

I find that when God is about to answer a question of mind, He does so in twos, usually it is the second day, that God answers my question. So last night, my question about Sunday was resolved.

In truth, I have been angering God by holding back. So He stepped in and “took over as I was speaking. Like, if YOU won’t say it Pam, I WILL!!!!

You are an end time prophet! If you don’t say it to the people, your faith is limited by your silence.

SO HE SAID IT FOR ME!

After 41 years, it’s time to be said.

The Cross Applied to Demonic Torment

15 May

The true power and meaning of the cross is often overshadowed by an emphasis on sin yet what about torment? So many today are suffering from some sort of torment inflicted by demons. Perhaps that is because it has not been sufficiently taught and emphasized that the Lord Jesus Christ also bore our torment for the chastisement of OUR peace was upon Him and with His stripes, we are mentally and emotionally HEALED. Why should we endure torment when the Lord has already done so on our behalf so that we might not have to endure it?

Something to think about.

there are certain circumstances wherein God allows torment.  He has His reasons.  If He did not allow it, these entities would not be able to cause torment. God allows it for several reasons.  The most important is to let you know that something is wrong. Torment is a sign that points to the work and influence of deception. In such cases, you would never know the truth and you would continue to give the enemy more control over you by your ignorance. Overcoming the torment will make you ready to help others who are enduring the same affliction that you have overcome. 


Did not the Father suffer cause Jesus to suffer mental and emotional torment as He died on the cross?  Why? So that He would overcome death forever for Himself and for those who believe on Him.  
I have a course on torment.  Below is a small sample, an article and a video. I offer the course for free so send an email request to getreadyfoethelord@gmail.com and you will be sent the complete free source.

Why Do Evil Spirits Torment?

Job, Torment and The Modern Day Captive
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_HQHyRajneg&t=2s

Herein, let us focus upon the prophetic report of both Isaiah and David, a word revealed to them hundreds of years before the Lord went to the cross and endured our torment for us.

Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, And as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; And when we see Him, There is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the Lord has laid on Him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed and He was afflicted, Yet He opened not His mouth; He was led as a lamb to the slaughter, And as a sheep before its shearers is silent, So He opened not His mouth. He was taken from prison and from judgment, And who will declare His generation? For He was cut off from the land of the living; For the transgressions of My people He was stricken. And they made His grave with the wicked— But with the rich at His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was any deceit in His mouth.

Did not the Father cause His Son to suffer torment on the cross for US? Take a look at two key prophecies declared by two Old Testament prophets, Isaiah and David.

Therefore I will divide Him a portion with the great, And He shall divide the spoil with the strong, Because He poured out His soul unto death, And He was numbered with the transgressors, And He bore the sin of many, And made intercession for the transgressors.Isaiah 53:1-12 –
This was God the Son’s personal torment on the cross, as prophetically foreshadowed the prophet Isaiah centuries before it happened.


David saw it too. the Father revealed to David the Lord’s mental anguish and torment.


My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me? Why are You so far from helping Me, And from the words of My groaning? O My God, I cry in the daytime, but You do not hear; And in the night season, and am not silent. But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel. Our fathers trusted in You; They trusted, and You delivered them. They cried to You, and were delivered; They trusted in You, and were not ashamed. But I am a worm, and no man; A reproach of men, and despised by the people. All those who see Me ridicule Me; They shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, “He trusted in the Lord, let Him rescue Him; Let Him deliver Him, since He delights in Him!” But You are He who took Me out of the womb; You made Me trust while on My mother’s breasts. I was cast upon You from birth. From My mother’s womb You have been My God.

Be not far from Me, For trouble is near; For there is none to help. Many bulls have surrounded Me; Strong bulls of Bashan have encircled Me. They gape at Me with their mouths, Like a raging and roaring lion. I am poured out like water, And all My bones are out of joint; My heart is like wax; It has melted within Me. My strength is dried up like a potsherd, And My tongue clings to My jaws; You have brought Me to the dust of death. For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet; I can count all My bones. They look and stare at Me. They divide My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.

But You, O Lord, do not be far from Me; O My Strength, hasten to help Me! Deliver Me from the sword, My precious life from the power of the dog. Save Me from the lion’s mouth And from the horns of the wild oxen! You have answered Me. I will declare Your name to My brethren; In the midst of the assembly I will praise You. You who fear the Lord, praise Him! All you descendants of Jacob, glorify Him, And fear Him, all you offspring of Israel!

My praise shall be of You in the great assembly; I will pay My vows before those who fear Him. The poor shall eat and be satisfied; Those who seek Him will praise the Lord. Let your heart live forever! All the ends of the world Shall remember and turn to the Lord, And all the families of the nations Shall worship before You. For the kingdom is the Lord’s, And He rules over the nations. All the prosperous of the earth Shall eat and worship; All those who go down to the dust Shall bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep himself alive. A posterity shall serve Him. It will be recounted of the Lord to the next generation, They will come and declare His righteousness to a people who will be born, That He has done this.Psalm 22:1-31 –
So to all those in demonic torment, on the cross, Jesus took your torment upon Himself. He bore it SO THAT YOU WOULD NOT HAVE TO BEAR IT. So Tell your demons THAT!!!!!!

I have been born again for 43 years and I have not been tormented even one day, before or after. What is the difference between me and you? Nothing other than your mind has been a garbage can that allows evil spirits to have its way and my mind has been at peace, shielded by His shed blood for me on the cross.

Once you receive the work that God Himself suffered for your torment, your obsessions will stop and the evil spirits in your mind will be cast out and bound by His cross where He was crucified with the chastisement of Your peace taken upon Himself.
