Let’s go back to the root of the truth. As Pastor Pam explains here, the church system and ALLLLL of its teachings are inspired by an imposter : The fake Jesus. That same fake Jesus is also posing as an ascended master in New Age (even Oprah talks about him and the “Christ consciousness”). It’s not GOD. It’s from Satan.
This is a very unique almost unbelievable message, as we are all told that church = God and God = church. But it took the testimony of a former occultist, Pastor Pam, who got born again OUTSIDE of church, SNATCHED from her “heathen ways” WITHOUT NOTICE in a powerful way, to prove that GOD IS BIGGER THAN CHURCH. Her multiple experiences in the system later proved that God is NOT in the church at all anyways (to read more about that go check her book “Faces of the Religious Demon”, links below). As of today, I am a “heathen” too. Religiosity keeps me from admitting it but it’s my truth. I held onto religious beliefs because they felt safe, like a precautionary measure not to fall. I followed whatever seemed right, suppressed any emotions and thoughts that would go against it even though it was simply my truth.
Religion teaches us that following blindly is the key to “avoid hell and please God”, but human beings CANNOT do that on their own. Also, what’s most important to a non born again person and born again person is the use of your free will. It is divinely given and demons CANNOT override it. God would NEVER tell us to give up our free will. Giving it up to ANY spiritual entity is probably the worst idea ever ; yet church encourages us to do it all the time. In addition to that, giving away your free will to “follow God” when you’re not even born again just pushes the idea that you have to choose God, which is simply not true. God respects your free will and wants you to use it by faith not out of fear or habit.
If you find yourself pushed, harassed even, by people in the church, condemning voices and need counseling and deliverance our Pastor will be there to help you with a loving ear to listen and loving straightforward words to encourage, rebuke and set free.

Links to the book The fake Jesus, Faces of the Religious Demon and all the books of Pastor Pamela Sheppard :
In both the Pentecostal and the Charismatic segments of the institutional church, it is taught that anytime you question any supernatural manifestation as not being from God, but of being from demons, that you were blaspheming the Spirit, which was unpardonable. This is often used as a fear tactic. Members were made to be afraid to question any supernatural manifestations, because if you doubted one and you turned out to be wrong, you had just signed your own one-way death warrant.
To be on the safe side, you had to accept any and every manifestation and assume it was from God, in order to err on the side of caution. Are members barking like dogs? Thrashing about, bumping into each other? Stumbling around, too drunk to walk? Speaking in a foreign tongue that sounds suspiciously similar to the tongues devil-worshipers speak in? “Well, you can’t put God in a box, surely demons could not be present here in a place so full of the anointing, where there is such a feeling of peace, holiness and love, so who am I to say it’s not God? The real deal is I have my doubts but I don’t want to risk blaspheming the Holy Spirit.” What if some manifestation that happened turned out to really be from the enemy, and you mistakenly thought it was the Holy Spirit? Would that not be just as blasphemous?
Turns out that scripture isn’t even talking about that. Here is my video that explains the truth about that verse.
Guilt Ridden, Passive Personalities are At Risk
It appears that religious demons that specialize in accusing and condemning their prey, tend to target a certain personality type to get their point across. Since I am rarely attacked in this way, my personality type is usually overlooked with this strategy. However, I have discovered in my work with people of various personality types that accusation, condemnation and legalism seem to be the most effective demonic strategy of choice for those who thrive off of self punishment and passivity.
The religious demon is an anti-Christ spirit whose nature is totally opposite that of the Almighty God. The religious demon usually works through a voice; the voice of condemnation. The voice constantly tells you how much of a failure you are. It tells you how your heart is not right with God and you are never going to be saved. It tells you that if you don’t read your Bible every day, and do all kinds of religious works, that you are going to hell. It also tells you that you have blasphemed God and also that you have committed the unpardonable sin.
To sum it up, the voice or the thought basically tells you that you’re never good enough. EVER. and the passive personality type believes it.
This is the exact opposite nature of God. The religious demon’s strategy is to tear down rather than build up. With condemnation and accusation, religious evil spirits uses the letter of the law to lay heavy burdens on its prey so as to crush you.
Here is an example of an email that was sent to me recently:
I was reading through your website and I have looked over your books and I just wanted to say that I think you are a stupid Anti-Christ bitch. That is MY take on you. If what you are telling people is God, there is no point existing here. You are a servant of evil.
The demon using this person does not realize that this kind of thing does not affect me.
Just a week before, I had declined to accept a particular man’s case. Immediately, I received threats along with being called “an absolutely hideous fucking bitch.” Actually, the man’s reaction to my refusal to accept his case served as justification that I made the right decision. That is all it did.
A few days later, I receive another email, , supposedly from a friend of the man I refused. “She” informing me that the man had committed suicide late that night. “She” wrote “give yourself a big pat on the back for the despicably wicked part you played in his death. You treated him like shit and now he is gone!”
Really???? I did not know the man. All I know of him was what he wrote about himself in a few emails. I never laid eyes on him and we live in different countries, yet I am suppose to accept full responsibility for his life and his death? Paleese. No way do I accept that kind of responsibility and guilt. Seems the evil spirits involved with this man ought to know me better than THAT!!!!
My point is this.
I don’t receive accusation or guilt from the devils and demons. As a born again person for 38 years, one of my favorite scriptures is “there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1) My spirit led me to know that this man is trouble that I needed to avoid. I have no malice toward him because I recognize that religious evil spirits have spoken to me through his mind and have used his hand to write those emails. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood but principalities and powers. Yes ,I could be wrong that he played the role of himself and two fictitious others, but because of the timing and the similarity of the religious style and subject of each email, I suspect that ONE person sent all 3 emails from 3 different email accounts. Also, I have been online since 2002. No one has sent me emails as despicable as this in 13 years, and in one week I get 3 of them???? So since a likeminded email was sent less than a week AFTER the alleged suicide, I suspect that this man is very much alive. However, if he killed himself for real, then he knows today that what I speak is truth.
So whether or not the man actually killed himself, neither his life or his death have ever been in MY hands! I do not personally take responsibility for the actions of others, nor do I consider myself the Savior of the world. I am not egotistical enough to think that just because I politely refused to take on a case, that a man killed himself. In fact, I make it very clear to all clients early on that if you tell me you are suicidal, I will immediately refer you to the local mental health facility in your community and close your case or not open it in the first place. I have a right and a professional responsibility to refuse the case of anyone who I suspect is not going to be cooperative or responsive to deliverance counseling. In fact, it is beyond my professional scope to work with delusional or suicidal people. One good reason why I don’t receive accusation and the subsequent guilt that follows is that I rarely override my own personal and professional boundaries. In other words, I don’t bite off more than I can chew.
Since God divinely blessed us all with a free will and a sound mind, I am responsible for my actions and you are responsible for yours. What is it about some people that predisposes them to condemnation from a religious demon yet it has rarely happened to me in all these years? Nevertheless, this recent attack was needful as it has been enlightening on several levels. Foremost, it has shown me that the only vehicle for communication the enemy has with me these days is by email. My dreams are shut down, they cannot speak to me in the spirit nor give me a vision. Also, I am careful who I allow into my personal space.
Apparently an unfamiliar evil spirit has come on the scene who is ignorant of the fact that I am not susceptible to being manipulated and controlled by demonic accusation, guilt and condemnation .Furthermore, I won’t dignify any accusations with defensive, guilt-ridden excuses covered by of “I am so sorry” or please forgive me, when I have done no wrong.
You must learn to do the same.

Self abasement can be seen among those in Christendom who tend to subordinate themselves to others so as to prove by their behavior that they are insignificant, unworthy of any positive attention or acclaim. Such a person will secretly harbor an inward feeling of being superior to others to as evidence as to why he has been often overlooked both in the world and in the church. This is that one who would hide his talent in the sand, with all kinds of excuses for not using it. He is immune receiving any admiration, complements or recognition, as he rejects being put in a superior position. In his attitude toward himself, the captive lives with a sense of failure to measure up to his own personal “ought to’s” , the “ought to’s” of others as well as biblical precepts and mandates. He tends to feel guilty, inferior, as a contemptible eye-sore that deserves rejection and loneliness..
Passivity, a doorway for demons, becomes a self-abasing solution, where others are perceived as either accusing or despising the captive when he can find no fault in his own behavior. He often makes a lot of apologies as a weapon to keep himself safe. Although self pride is not consciously visible, deep down, the captive is extremely proud as he secretly belittling others in his thoughts of them for not being as forgiving, understanding and as “humble” as he imagines that he is. He perceives even the supportive, caring people in his world as both self centered and selfish in comparison to his own self effacing ways. This is the passive side of narcissism.
Pride will also manifest in the opposite direction, where the captive will secretly admire pride and aggressiveness in others, and on occasion will passively submit to being dominated and controlled by-those who are stronger and more self confident than he is. So even though he is lonely and has a need for company, he is uncomfortable with being sociable as a pride issue. For being without social contact is self-proof and confirmation that he is unwanted and unpopular—-a public disgrace to be kept secret.
Consequently, those who belittle themselves cannot discriminate between those who are abusive and those who really care for him. As a rule, this captive will not be able to recognize the difference between genuine friendliness and obvious aloofness. So he remains secretly suspicious of anyone who is genuinely caring towards him, especially if the person exhibits strength, and who is willing to confront him in an assertive way. Furthermore, his fear of antagonism and righteous confrontation causes him to overlook, discard, minimize or rationalize away his blessings.
Here is an example. Consider Raymond. Much of his adult life, he was homeless. He receives an opportunity to stay with a Christian family who welcomed and embraced him as one of their own relatives. Yet he walked around for 3 months with his head bowed low, not looking anyone in the face. He had his own room and access to the entire house where there are 3 living rooms. Instead of using one of them, he preferred to spend his time in a dark, cold cellar or stay in his room, blocking out all light. At a public restaurant, he sat at the table with his head down, saying nothing and staring into his cell phone. Yet one day, when he actually decided to speak, he blurted out some venom against a person who had only been nice to him. The interesting thing is that once he decided to leave and go back to the squalor he is used to, he looked everyone in the face, became verbally religious, straightforward and assertive, readily voicing complaints that he secretly harbored for his entire stay with this family. He waited until his own decision to leave was possible primarily because he feared his entire time that the family would reject him and put him out to the streets—something they would have never done.
Are you a passive narcissist? Are you prone to self abasement? People like this never prosper as they instinctively cut off their own fruitfulness and kill their harvest. Even their natural skills are wasted.
Clearly it happened once in Jewish history as Daniel predicted that it would. In the year 167 BC. A Greek ruler, by the name of Antiochus Epiphanies committed two blasphemous acts in the second Jewish temple: He set up an altar to the Greek god Zeus and also he sacrificed a pig on the altar.
The Lord knew of that particular abomination as it occurred some two hundred years BEFORE His words were recorded in Matthew 24:15. So clearly, the Lord was prophesying about an event that would transpire in the last days, since the end of the gentile age is the subject matter of Matthew 24. It stands to reason that in a similar way that the Lord compared the last days to the days of Noah, in like manner, He also highlighted the prophecy of Daniel with the caviat of “let the reader understand.”
Now the general understanding of those who interpret endtime signs is that before this particular sign can be fulfilled, the Jews will need to build a new temple. So we could further assume that the Antichrist will not be revealed until that non existent temple is built in Jerusalem.
But what if that is not the understanding the Lord wants the endtime age to have?
Whatever the future abomination is, if it is an overt act of the desecration of a Jewish temple, the obvious nature of such an act would not need very much understanding or interpretation.
AT the time that the Lord was questioned about the end of the age and His response recorded by Matthew in the 24th chapter, the church age had not yet begun but would be shortly ushered in by a few of the Lord’s apostles and disciples on the day of Pentecost. So clearly, it made no sense for the Lord not to reveal at that time how the church age would evolve 2000 years into the future to people who were about to bring forth the age of the church. For to know the end before the beginning would definitely have blocked the motivation of the apostles and disciples to begin and continue the work of building the church. Rather, it’s the last generation of the elect who truly need “to understand.”
So my question is this. Suppose the Lord was not referring to the abomination of desolation as a part of Jewish history, but in reality, perhaps He predicted Christian history in its last days? The accepted understanding within a common endtime understanding is that the Antichrist will establish a covenant with Israel for 7 years and then perform some blasphemous, unspeakable abomination, similar to what Antiochus Ephiphanies did in the second Jewish temple, before it was destroyed in 70 AD.
Yet built into the new covenant, the temple of God is clearly the reborn human spirit. There are several scriptures to support the belief that the spirit of man is the temple of The Lord, both in the Old Testament and more so in the new. So what if the abomination of desolation has occurred and is still occurring in the temple or spirit within those who claim to be God’s people?
So consider this. Would it not be an abomination of desolation to go to a church altar, expecting to receive the Holy Ghost into your spirit but instead, you received a religious demon aka the spirit of the antichrist?
Anyone who knows even a little about kundalini yoga and the 7 chakras are aware of the fact that every human being has 7 spiritual gateways or doorways in his body. Through entering a state of passivity, yoga, meditation, hypnosis, chanting, even speaking in tongues will create an altered state of consciousness (ASC) conducive enough to crack open each spiritual doorway, one by one. I would include falling slain in the spirit, holy laughter, speaking in tongues, the holy dance, shouting, running around the church, flopping one’s head back and forth, as additional practices that stir up the kundalini spirit and open the 7 doorways.
Chakras are actually doorways for Hindu gods who themselves are really principalities and powers. Each of these entities stand guard over each of the 7 portals: Over the crown is Shiva; the third eye is Hakini, the throat is Savashiva, the navel is Vahni, the sexual organs are Vishnu and Rakeeni, the anus is Brahma and the heart is Isha.
Since no where in the bible does it even suggest that we should “ask Jesus into our hearts,” the fallen angel Isha responds to the unsuspecting seeker’s “invitation” as a call to the fake Jesus Sananda who Isha serves. So Isha opens the doorway to the heart and spirits of the antichrist enter the heart doorway and take up residence in one’s “temple.”
So could it not be that the abomination of desolation has already occurred and is still occurring? The Lord said that if we ask God for bread, HE would not give us a snake or a stone. Well, I know for a fact that people are asking God to come into their hearts as they surrender their beings to an entity they believe is Christ at the altars of God, when in reality, it’s a fallen angel impersonating the Lord. Could it be that because they are going about it the wrong way, evil spirits have entered their temples?
What could be more abominable or more desolate than THAT?
The Holy Ghost will not enter a temple where a demon dwells. It must be cast out FIRST. Only after the demons have left will He enter your spirit and cause you to be born again, becoming a temple where God Himself dwells.
God could cast it out the spirit of the antichrist Himself. Yet most often He uses one of His followers to do so. AT RESCUE, WE can help with this. Either give us a call at 1-888-818-1117 or email us at getreadyforthelord@gmail.com
It has been my experience that the doorway UNKNOWINGLY left wide open to demonic torment is a captive’s fear of ever making a mistake. Demons take great pleasure in tormenting people who they can control with criticism, shame and accusation. As a deliverance counselor, I realize that for each captive, there is a different root cause. For the most part, a fear of making a mistake comes from how you were raised. Those who have been under the authority of extremely judgmental, critical parenting are inclined to either become passive or aggressive in their response to this fear.
The passive ones try to “always be correct and proper” because they are afraid of suffering the consequences that judgmental parenting brings. On my web caseload over the last 14 years, those who are constantly hearing critical, accusing voices in their minds have been raised by critical, judgmental parents. Perfectionism in passive people also leads them to be ardent people pleasers–a breeding ground for depression.
The aggressive folks tend to become the rebels of the world who often seem to make mistakes on purpose and by design because they simply enjoy annoying people. In other words, “if you made me the black sheep of the family, I’m going to play that role with style and gusto! If you told me when I was 10 years old that I am going to be no good, just like my father, well, I am going to be “my father” to the 25th power. So watch me, Mom, as I go through the revolving prison door of recidivism. Watch me and suffer Mom, because you have tried to frame me with a fear of being like a Dad that I didn’t even know, because of you and YOUR failures!
Here is another pattern. January 2 of every year could be renamed “Get Rid of the Fat Day. There are unseen reasons why some of us got fat. Here is the scenario for the rebel: ” If you have called me “fat” all of my life when I was not fat but voluptuous and my sensuality disturbed you, Mom—-I am REALLY going to become fat just to show you what FAT REALLY IS AND that I don’t care what you think of my body type!!!!”
Scenarios like these are often played out on a sub-conscious level. Anytime you don’t know who you are and why you are behaving the way that you do, you are a prime target for demonic interference. As a deliverance counselor, this is the reason why I am less concerned about whether or not you ever experimented with the occult or drugs than I am about how you deal with “making mistakes.” It does not take a great deal of education to become a great learner. Learning involves listening and mimicking. Even if we can’t read or write, life itself is going to teach us something!!!” If you have never made a mistake then you have not learned very much.
For the Christian in particular, God designs the lessons of life disguised in the form of obstacles, mistakes and difficulties through a maze of trials, tribulations, troubles and tests. Why? Because the Christian walk in the spirit by faith in God alone is what earns us our eternal crowns. Without any ashes, there is no beauty. Without failure, there is no glory. Without falling, we really don’t know how to stand. We are sinners who must totally rely on the Holy Spirit’s leading in order to please a perfect God. He is pleased when we can resist the pride of our sinful nature and embrace our ashes.
I was born 73 years ago. I was born again 40 years ago. All I have to give to God is a life of mistakes and failures. These are my infirmities, and like Paul, I actually glory in them. I know that I glory in them because when I speak or write about my mistakes, I have no inner pulling of sorrow, shame or regret in my heart. I know that I glory in them because I give practically no thought or expression to the things that man would consider successful accomplishments. I glory in my mistakes because I have come to know that the power of Jesus Christ of Nazareth is all over me when I can acknowledge my own weaknesses.
There is a difference between making a mistake and being a mistake. If I am in Christ, then I am not a mistake. On the contrary, if I rely on “self,” then I am functioning as a mistake. What the bible confirms is that God did not believe that I was a mistake or I would not be here. God does not believe that YOU are a mistake or YOU would not be here either. When we begin to see even an iota of how big and all-consuming God is, then we will stop worrying about our mistakes and the demons that are assigned to us will be bound and gagged.
Twenty eight years ago, I committed a serious sin that brought about its consequences and its ramifications. On last Friday, the religious demon assigned to me sent me a dream that showed me committing the exact same sin and “loving it.” Demons rarely accuse me of sin because they know that I don’t receive or respond to their guilt trips. However, THIS time, they “got me good” because the dream disturbed at least half of my day. The dream was a mockery. What I found offensive is that I was shown that I still have the desire to do the exact same thing, a sin that would be extremely hurtful to God as well as to other people whom I would certainly hurt.
Do I have the desire to commit the sin again? Absolutely not. Would I do so if tempted? Absolutely not. However, here is the truth of it. The flesh DOES NOT CHANGE! In my flesh, I am STILL capable of committing the exact same sin TODAY!!! Yet, though I am capable, I WILL not do it. Why not? Because I don’t walk in the flesh. I walk in the spirit. And because of Jesus Christ, the desires of my heart and my spirit HAVE CHANGED. There is NO CONDEMNATION TO THOSE WHO ARE IN CHRIST JESUS.
You see, Brethren, Christians who are afraid of making mistakes focus on self-righteousness and not on the righteousness of God in Christ. They are not looking to the cross. They are looking to self. They are trying to please God just as they tried to please their earthly parents. Yet our understanding and practice of perfection is totally different from God’s as it pertains to His people. Take Job, as our classic biblical example. He was as perfect as man can get, pleasing to God, yet prior to Calvary.
That was Job’s problem. He was toooo perfect. He had no mistakes to draw from. Without the mistakes, Job really did not know God very well. Once God allowed the devil to attack Job, Job’s hidden mistakes were revealed. He was focused on “self-righteousness. The true nature of God was also revealed. Once confronted by his religious friends, Job became defensive. Defensiveness is an outgrowth of pride. If you are defensive, then even the very thought of making a mistake becomes a bondage to you. On the real, face it. Mistakes are part of our lives and we will keep making mistakes till our last breath. In my book, “Faces of the Religious Demon” are scores of case summaries of professing Christians who religious demons tormented because their captives were afraid of making mistakes. For one reason or another, deliverance counseling uncovered a complicated pride system at the root.

“Just because a person is born again does not make them “deception proof.”
The Lord would not have warned His disciples to “take heed and be not deceived” if there was no danger that they COULd be deceived. It does not matter how many things you are or were deceived about. For 25 years, I was deceived about a few things in comparison to what other churchgoers were deceived about. Yet the Holy Spirit did not release me from the deception until He was ready to. He simply stepped in when He chose the time to be right and started unravelling things. What I remain cautious about is this. Just because I am undeceived NOW, does not mean that it is impossible for me to be deceived again. For me to think otherwise would be both pride and arrogance and I do not want God to resist me.
So what is deception?
Deception has to do with thoughts in the mind. Simply put, we believe a lie or a half truth. The worst of it is the assumptions. if you start off with even one little wrong assumption, everything else falls like dominos.
As I am reading some of the works of the RESCUE look alike leader, I am watching how a person can start out with truth and how the enemy can use the truth they have received and lead them into a lie. What happens is that the enemy takes advantage of our misconception of truth. He uses the weaknesses of our personalities to lead us into believing what suits us best.
This realization is humbling me quite a bit. I believe that once we are given truth, we have to seek God in prayer to help us not to misunderstand truth for our conception of truth may cause us to err.
So my question is “how do we make ourselves fool-proofed to deception?”
I think we can all answer this from experience. just examined how we got deceived, what was it about us that caused us to be open to the deception, and how did you come out of it?”

Here is an interesting quote from a blog called Detox From Church For Real, as it pertains to those who have left the
institution called “church.”
“If you’re not careful, keep harping on what’s wrong with church can become YOUR religion. An obsession. An addiction as real as that to crack cocaine…Keeping your spirit’clean’ also means turning away from that which poisons you, that takes you back to that place of being wounded by churchianity. I don’t see recovering drug addicts going back to the crack houses…trying to ‘save’ those who are caught up in the drug scene. SO what’s with religious folks trying to ‘save’ the lost and misguided, the bamboozled, the deceived in church?vThat’s NOT your job anyways…THAT IS THE JOB OF THE HOLY GHOST.” (Wenona Russ)
In ministry while in a denomination for 25 years, I was once one of the wounded, so I personally know the truth of this quote. When the Bishop manipulated the leadership council to remove my name from the membership rolls back in 2004, even though I had been shown by God what would happen nine months before the deed was done, I was still both hurt, bitter and angry. The truth is that when you focus on individuals and not the religiously political system that my enemies represented, bitterness and even outrage will naturally surface. I took out my rage on them in a book, where I changed names but I identified the denomination. I re-wrote the book a few years later, with a new title “Come Out of Her God’s People,” and without identifying the specific church. BT,.I no longer market the original. You see, once a critic stated that I sounded “bitter,” I realized that my literary articulation was being negatively affected by the outrage that I thought I had successfully suppressed.
The truth is that I had allowed “looking back” at their scandals to tarnish my own soul. I have purposed in my heart to refuse to allow any person, place, thing or entity to shape, or even slightly influence the essence of who I am according to who God created me to be. .
Once the Lord revealed to me the deep truth as to why I was rejected by church leaders, I never again looked back at them or their SCANDALS.
You see, there was and I expect continues to be much SCANDAL in this particular sect—so much so that I am reminded of the TV series that bears the same name.
SCANDAL
In this regard, as a former pastor among them, I once knew of loads of COVERED UP denominational scandals among the religious white- washed tombs of the persevering hypocrites. So watching the politicians cover-up of scandals on the TV series reminded me of the games religious folk play.
At first, like everyone else, you look at the individual characters to make an assessment as to who is to blame, who is at fault. With the TV series, you wonder if it is the President or his monstrous Chief of Staff! Or is it his power-hungry First Lady, or perhaps the head of the secret agency called B613? In my “church situation,” , I first looked at the people involved in trying to bring me down in the church. There were three of them.
On the TV series, when you begin to watch each character lie, plot, scheme, manipulate, and even murder, I noticed that at the heart of their behavior is their yet naive attempt to be the good guys, wearing the white hat. The characters are able to live with their mess because they can still rationalize that they did their best to protect the republic. So with all of their political tactics, you have to ask yourself “well! who is the republic?”
And this is the institutional church. . Both politics and religion use the same tactics. Religious folk” kill off” other churchfolk because they believe they are protecting their territory within the IC. Therefore, it is understandable that both politics and religion have their part to play as Mystery Babylon.
Consider the IC.
By any means necessary, whether a famous mega preacher or the choir director or trustee of a 50 member church, the goal is the same. To protect the IC, which like the republic is a non-human entity. A system. A religious system.
The reality is that the problems and SCANDALS of the IC have been built into Her system for the last 17 centuries. so there is no one in the IC today who is really the originator of any of her present circumstances.
Olivia Pope had an interesting revelation about the republic. As the re-election campaign manager for the sitting President, she came to realize that it really did not matter who wins. All three candidates committed murder. The democrat committed a premeditated murder of his wife’s lover, the independent killed her closet gay husband in a fit of rage and covered it up, and the incumbent President killed a dying woman who was about to release a damnable secret to the press!
In other words, ALL THREE CANDIDATES ARE MURDERERS!!!!!
Upon this realization, Olivia got yet another revelation. Working for the republic at any cost changes who you are because through passivity, you lose yourself. Engulfed in darkness, you can no longer stand in the sun.
Herein lies what happens in the IC. Each individual loses him or herself trying to sustain Her. When a member or a pastor become a target of destruction in the denomination I was ordained in, the expression was “the Bishop or the Council killed him or killed her. When a church scandal has been covered up, the devil comes in and takes over.
That is why, rather than spend my energy bashing Her, I focus on restoring individuals who desire freedom from Her. Seeking freedom? Check out RESCUE at www.aboutrescue.com or call 518-477-5759
What are some other reasons why it is fruitless to continue to look back at HER to expose, criticize or blame?
Well, If she were alive, I know of someone who can answer the question by her own personal experience. God warned those He led out of two decadent cities not to look back at what He was destroying. For to look back is a sign that you want to GO back.
What did the Lord mean when He said “Blessed are the meek?” The Apostle Paul added to the Lord’s revelation when he taught the Galatians that meekness is a fruit of the Spirit.
What then, is fruit?
I believe that fruit is the manifestation of the power of the resurrection in a person’s life. Simply put, does an individual demonstrate in his or her life that Jesus Christ is alive?
As Jesus taught, “if we abide in Him, then we will bear fruit.” So in order to manifest fruit, we must abide in Him. To abide is “to live in” or “to dwell.” Jesus also revealed that He came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly. So, abundant life is a synonym for “fruit.”
Since the just shall live by faith, if we walk in faith, then our lives should be fruitful. Our faith is our evidence of the power of the resurrection. When we believe on the resurrection, we believe that Jesus is alive. Therefore, to bear fruit, is to consistently live by faith, in a manner that demonstrates that Jesus Christ is no longer in the tomb. It is a power that is demonstrated without even the necessity of quoting a scripture. Demonstration of power will be apparent in those who have the Holy Ghost in them.
Demonstrations of power are obtained by building one’s foundation upon the Rock. Jesus declared that if we built our house upon the rock, and not upon sand, when the storms of life attack us, we will remain standing. In this context, then once again, the 9 fruit of the Spirit represent “the rock.” From an architectural, natural standpoint, when we build a house, we would like to have confidence in its foundation. Therefore, when we look for fruit that will demonstrate the resurrection power of the Lord Jesus Christ, we should examine where the client or captive has placed his or her confidence.
There is such a thing as “fake fruit.” I am sure that you have at one time been fooled by plastic or rubber fruit sitting in a bowl as the center piece on a dining room table. Sometimes these plastic replicas look even better than the real thing from a distance. However, up close, you can see that there is no life in fake fruit. This is also true of fake spiritual fruit.
Take for example the fruit of meekness or humility. Those who are “fake”, may appear to have a lack of self-confidence. However, at the root of their apparent meekness may be compulsive modesty. In such instances, the captive’s pattern is to overlook his own viewpoint, suggesting that the thoughts and ways of others are more reliable than his own. False humility of this kind will lead the captive to not feel safe unless a significant other in his life will protect, defend, advise or nurture him.
In such cases, the captive loses the capability to take responsibility for his own life. With women, the Adam’s Rib Syndrome develops, where she does not view herself as a whole person without a mate to help her feel complete.
False meekness also manifests itself when professing Christians who have low self concept develop techniques and processes whereby the self is placed in the background by losing self-regard. In an attempt to avoid anger at all cost, the captive will repress hostility and will become self-effacing. Some captives will merely adjust their behavior to adapt to the stronger personality, while others will allow their personalities to be changed by stronger people. People like this are often wrongfully perceived as having the fruit of meekness.
As a case in point, women suffering from the “Adam’s Rib Syndrome” tend to build their foundation upon the sand, where their partner is at the center. The woman will undoubtedly expect the partner to fulfill all of her expectations, becoming a ready victim to a demonic soul tie. She is left vulnerable to manipulation and domination, where the fruit of love is also bogus and without power. Love is a fruit of the spirit that is liberating, for as the scriptures indicate, perfect love casts out fear. However, the Adam’s Rib Syndrome is not based upon true, solid love. In fact, carnal love can become in itself a stronghold that leads to fear of desertion and a fear of being alone. As an example, a woman who is dependent upon an abusive partner will be hindered from making any independent moves of her own. Therefore, those in bondage to such a stronghold are most likely to lack spontaneity of feeling, thought and will power.
Each stronghold will create a specific fear or doubt as well as an accompanying pride system that will be difficult to break through. Christians so bound, will often attribute their strongholds to demons, when in actuality, casting out a demon will not bring any lasting relief. This is because the stronghold is embedded in the captive’s personality and is therefore a stronghold in the soul. In cases where there has been little to no personality change, it will seem as though deliverance has failed when in reality, the root of the problem was not so much demonic as it was “soulical.” Casting out demons may bring a momentary sense of freedom or joy. Even so, a substantial, solid deliverance is one where the fruit of true meekness has been planted and nurtured.
Since meekness is the doorway to blessing, any captive in need of deliverance must become poor in spirit. (Matthew 5) To be poor in spirit is to be emptied of one’s character defects. Deliverance will empty the captive from demons, but these demons and others will ultimately return if the conditions that provided them a safe haven still remain. Therefore, my job as a bearer of the word of God is to seek the help of the Holy Spirit to sensitize a conscience that has been hardened by the pride of life. Meekness is manifested when the captive comes to the realization that his thoughts are not as high as the Lord’s thoughts, nor his ways higher than the Lord’s ways.
Continual brokenness before the Lord Jesus Christ has sustained me with a simple, yet a profound truth and it is this. “Whatever does not originate in your inward parts–in your spirit–will not bring you life.” In this regard, I have learned through personal experience that false or counterfeit spirituality may appear to produce a beneficial result but it cannot grant authentic, lasting, resurrection life. I have entered into the Lord’s rest because I myself have labored by the revelation of the Holy Ghost. No more vain strivings for success according to man’s standards. If I speak no more for the remainder of my life, I will remain satisfied. For with each of my seven books, I believe that I have declared more than a mouthful.
Like an author or an artist, very often a prophet’s fruit is not fully manifested until after his or her death. John the Beloved is a poignant example of a prophet who is even yet waiting among the mighty cloud of witnesses for the inspired words that he wrote on the isle of Patmos to be completely fulfilled at the appointed time. What I myself have learned on this spiritual journey with Jesus Christ can fill several books, and if the Lord allows me to live, I hope that other books shall l be written.
I have also begun to mentor and nurture other Christian writers, beginning with Wenona Russ and her first e-book entitled “The Makings of a False Prophet.”I see great strength. and power in Wenona’s work. Why? Because I see the root of meekness manifesting in her walk as a Christian non-fiction author who has a powerful message to proclaim, borne out of a fruitbearing life.

Passive personalities have a unscriptural understanding of what it means to be a peacemaker. They deny their own anger, and pretend everything is O.K. When we are passive, and believe that to be a Christian means to be a doormat, the religious demon moves in. Why does the religious demon gain a foothold? Pam Sheppard is not only the expert on the topic, but she has written a book called ” Faces of the Religious Demon” that covers all in detail.
According to Pam, the religious demon causes passive spirits to become spiritually crippled in regards to taking a stand against principalities and powers. I can certainly attest to and understand what Pam is referring to. I have been physically crippled all of my life. Because of the wheelchair, the enemy has tried to use fake Christians to spiritually cripple me. Yet for my own protection and for the power to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ in a hostile world, , I am as bold as a lion. If you can’t take a stand against other Christians who are obviously pushing you around, and taking advantage of you, something is wrong. How on earth will you be able to confront demons?

When Christian leaders are allowed to vent their unholy appetites in the organized church, because their passive followers are too weak to confront them…Those who are passive personalities, because of a distorted and unscriptural understanding of the Gospel, are fodder for the religious demon. How so?
Tell me why Christian leaders who are tyrants and bullies, leave a trail of passive personalities quivering in their boots? And also tell me why Christian leaders like Pam Sheppard who are sincere, and God sent, are attacked by passive personalities simply because of their boldness and love for the truth?
On page 207 of the groundbreaking textbook ” Faces of the Religious Demon” Pam Sheppard writes in reference to personality types that religious demons gain power from:
In each personality type there will be Christians who have not rightly divided the word of God relative to being a peacemaker, where forgiveness and meekness are taken for weakness. Acclimated to the general role of peacemaker, captives may live a life of pretense, where they habitually hide and deny justifiable hostility and anger so as to turn the other cheek ” religiosity “.
In this regard, the religious spirit will cause passive saints to become spiritually crippled in their counterfeit moral purity, predisposing to a shrinking process that stifles their ability to strike back–not so much at people who have wronged them, but for taking a stand against principalities and powers. They end up feeling like one of my clients who dreamed she was the back seat driver in her own car, and the person whom the Jezebel spirit has manipulated to keep the client in captivity was metaphorically ” behind the wheel ” of her very soul.
A passive personality invites religious demons. Passivity and counterfeit love (term coined by Pam) are pretense, if you are angry– you’re angry. Pretending not to be angry is a counterfeit emotion. If we are such passive personalities, that we can’t deal with onslaughts and abuse upon our own person, what then? Can God use a passive personality? Or will your passive personality better serve the purposes of the religious demon?
While Pam Sheppard was pastoring a church in Troy NY that she and her daughter founded, I was an active member. My kind of passivity was that I never tried the spirits. I had received a false conversion when I was 11 years old. Consequently, I preached, prophesied, , and spoke in tongues by the power of a religious demon. Everyone believed that I was anointed by God.However, in 2002, the Lord spoke to me in a dream. He showed me that I had 3 demons, one of which was a spirit of divination aka “a religious demon.” As my pastor, Pam was bold enough and loved me enough to go “toe to toe” with those 3 demons, and the Holy Ghost used her boldness to set me free to truly be born again. Based upon our testimony together, Pam wrote “Faces of the Religious Demon.”
Pam Sheppard has been born again for 35 years. Once an atheist, new age channeler and astrologer, the Lord intervened and defied the fallen angels that had her bound. Spiritual entities do not mess with Pam today because of her boldness and her faith in Jesus Christ.. She’s an expert on the topic of deliverance. If you need deliverance from passivity, and allowing yourself to be abused, call her. If you need deliverance from allowing the organized church, and abrasive Christian leaders to dog you out, call her. If you need deliverance of any kind, even if you just need to talk, call Pam. The phone lines are open, and her team of supervised deliverance mentors are waiting to serve you. Pam has been on the battlefield for a long time. This fact alone should spur you to make that call Now! (518)477-5759
The masses are being deceived by satan using his lies of being “slain in the spirit”.

Looking back over 30 years of ministry, I remember How I lusted after the power to manifest the slain in the spirit phenomena for about 10 years. When I finally obtained the power, I thought it would put my ministry on the map to mega-stardom. Yet, I began to watch and pray over those in my congregation who consistently fell slain. What I noticed is that most of the people who fell, were not able to STAND in their faith or for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Many of them were filled with sin. Once the Lord started sending me professing Christians who were in demonic torment, I soon discovered a significant sample of cases wherein people actually picked up demons in church services similar to those in this video clip.
Hear is a quote from the New Idolatry.
Christians have fallen under the power since the 1760’s. It was a common expression among the Shakers and also one of the signs of the ministry of Marie Woodward-Etter (1844-1924) KNOWN AS “THE TRANCE EVANGELIST.” About 15 years before the Azusa Street Revival that started the Pentecostal Church, Etter began manifesting the phenomena in her meetings in 1885.”
