I think the message and teaching is fantastic I have been really hungry for some really deep scriptural teachings one in particular I am wanting to do is something I want to show everyone when I am done.

It may take a bit but I think if what God is hinting at here with me is correct I think it will be something everyone will enjoy
I'm glad you were blessed.
He was really committed to the subject to travel to all of those locations and interview those who had first hand knowledge on the insiders.

Go for it Blain. This would be a good place to publish your study of the Word. There's a blog section too in case you want less discussion. I'd be happy to read what you prepare.

You're right about his voice. I dozed off after 10 minutes. It was pretty late though. He needed a good evangelist or pastor to provide a few lessons on public speaking to help him with the voice inflections. I listened to it a few times over the years because it was so informative.
The information he gives is a lot too that is why I think I like it so much it is sadly not easy to find a lot like that very few actually speak to me really I just can't recieve what they are giving but on some rare few you can tell they are the real deal.


I mean did you know that I came across a pastor on youtibe by accident who was apparently teaching about the holy spirit or something. This was when I first began to really see with discernemnt I never saw the fingerprints all over youtube and google from the devil until this point in time.

This pastor I kid you not lead the entire church into praising satan by starting off saying lift up the holy spirit and some other stuff of lifting up authority against the enenemy but then as everyone is now chanting what he says he then proceeds to do the most shocking thing I have ever witnessed.

He starts saying raise satan over and over as the entire church is blindly chanting this as well I was so horrified I fled from that video my spirit couldn't stand the words I was hearing. he leads me to a lot of videos that have corruption and it really is insane this worlds corruption is far worse than I thought.

All I have done for you is try to help you to the truth the real thing Jesus himself the higher position he has already said in scripture we stand in with him in his kingdom I have tried to be gentle as to not offend you.

But if I am wrong then please don't take this harshly however that is my firm stance so don't expect me to coddle you
wasn't referring to you nope.

Then I apologize there is a reason I responded to you in this manner and I will have to tell you about it in private.
I was associating the real occult being a spiritual realm of Satan.

It's just I've never saw any satan synagogue places anywhere

If there's one thing I'm learning from all this it's that many people don't have a clue about how cults operate and manipulate people. No doubt that's why so many are trapped in them.
Some say MAGA Is a cult,If they are,what are some signs that would Indicate that this Is a cult?

I don't know. By "some" who do you mean? Have you actually heard them say it's a cult? What reasons did they give for believing this?

Just like in Jesus time, most of the teachers were false prophets who claimed to represent the Lord. The Lord Himself rebuked them the same as His forerunner John the Baptist. I woke up a little while ago with this thought. Many people who claim to follow Christ would call Him unChristlike for the way He rebuked those Pharisees, Saducess, scribes, hypocrites. John called them harsh names too as did the OT prophets.

The wicked false prophet you quoted sounds like he was trying to get the congregation to blaspheme the Holy Spirit. Do you remember his name?

No worries, it's just a forum section that doesn't get all of the excessive debate like the Bible forum. I don't even read 99% of the Bible discussion forum for all of the heresy that I have to sift through.

You can believe what I say or not I am not forcing it on you but I am giving a very serious warning. To be honest your response is the main reason why I am seeking after the truth and the kingdom with such zeal it actually made me feel sad.

You are satisfied sated with where you are if you actually knew this bit of power of his then you would not be able to say what you have the real thing is not so easily understood
It makes you seek it it draws you to a fascination of him his awe power majesty his kingship that amazing reverence when you are kneeling before him as his servant child royal abasssador and chosen beloeved of the king.

He is calling us to more don't forget how he describes how he feels with those who are sated who are neither hot nor cold for him who in his eyes are grey neither black nor white. But he is not playing games and he is not messing around we either get srious with him now or sufrfer the the loss of what we miss out on

But you have decide if you are going to answer his call if it is so hard to hear him that what I say contradficts then do Iwhat I do go into your prive place with him relax and be still and know him speak with him and ask him about all this and just wait for him to answer

He always answers sometimes it's quick and sometimes it takes a while or sometimes you have to say to him I am not leaving here until you speak
See,
Looking at your language....
You are trying to offer me God's power as if it was yours to give. I don't desire power. I desire God...
Subtle but huge difference.
If I can be God's friend that is MORE than enough for me. And I do mean more than enough.
Just to kick back drinking something and hanging out with God? Like a dream come true.

I don't want anything from him except for the relationship....I know that it's difficult for most to understand the concept. But that friendship is sufficient for me. Anything else is extra that I'm not really after....not a "give to get" type thing whatsoever. Just to hang out....go fishing, or bake cookies or whatever. Netflix and chill day.....

You can treat God how you like...each of us is an individual. I have no delusions of my grandeur or want any for knowing Him....how is it that you can't understand that?

All you ever talk about is yourself and how much power you have and how God is using you to do great and marvelous thing, etc., etc., blah, blah.


People don't want to hear it, seriously. You're making yourself look like a joke. If you had a fraction of the power you claim to have, you wouldn't feel the need to be on here proclaiming your greatness to anyone who will listen. No one here is looking for a guru. Do yourself and us a favor: put your money where your mouth is and go start working some miracles for people in the real world and leave us alone.

I'm not exactly the one who is claiming that I have a passive interest in God now am I?
What he said was extremely rude, insulting, and obnoxious. And how is it that you don't see that? :unsure:

Amen..
So often we choose to live in the past dwelling on our hurts and pain. We can become so self absorbed we crowd God out of our space and dont even realize it. We try to fill the void wiht this and that .. TIs 'teachers' made me feel so good etc. There are creeps 'out there' looking for empty people ready to include them in their circle. As Christians we should understand Christ is to fill that void. Learned folks study the real we are blessed to have His Word. That is what we should listen to study and follow.
Here are a couple quotes that said to me this is not good. The whole of the context is up there to read...
You are satisfied sated with where you are if you actually knew this bit of power of his then you would not be able to say what you have the real thing is not so easily understood

Some as In people In social media chat rooms like TikTok,Facebook,etc...
Some reasons that I have heard are because Donald Trump said he could shoot someone and he still wouldn't lose any support and this seems to be true.

Well, if the question is: Is Donald Trump a master manipulator? My answer would have to be yes. And the MAGA crowd does seem to exhibit many of the warning signs of a cult; along with the whole Christian nationalist bunch.

MAGA isn't a cult. Trump is merely the first politician in a long time who actually is putting forth ideas that they believe in. And in 4 years as President, despite being under constant attack, he was able to promote an agenda that benefited the majority of Americans.
You dislike Trump personally and you allow that to color your personal view of him and those who vote for him.

I know someone who still has a large Donald Trump sign on his garage to support a Donald Trump run for president in 2024, even though he continues to find out Donald Trump supports so much wrong. How bad does it have to get before they stop supporting Donald Trump?

Trouble is here in the States we get 2 choices Trump is a manipulator but good grief the other side are pigs. The old "I dont vote" is a vote for the left. so even if one does not vote they do.
