Joie de Vivre A Wretched Man’s Quest To Follow Jesus Christ

Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great prostitute who is seated on many waters, with whom the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality, and with the wine of whose sexual immorality the dwellers on earth have become drunk.” And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns. The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her sexual immorality. And on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations.” And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of the martyrs of Jesus.

Oprah Winfrey and her good friend Eckhart Tolle continue to lead more than two million down the wide open road to destruction while unashamedly twisting Scripture along the way.

I’m calling this phenomenon Opra-heresy from here on.

On a related note, there’s a new book out called Don’t Drink The Kool-Aid that exposes the spiritual deception extolled by Oprah Winfrey, Marianne Williamson (A Course in Miracles) and Eckhart Tolle. The book is available in paperback and for immediate download as an e-book.

Heard this just this morning on Way of the Master Radio.

Todd Friel (TF): “The pope (John Paul II) might be beatified and canonized and become a saint. Made me think of a Bible verse. Dave is in Texas, on KDKR. Dave? Can you name that verse, sir?”

Dave: “I’m thinking it’s John 11:35.”

TF: “Which is?”

Dave: “Jesus wept.”

TF: *Uncontrollable laughter* “Well, Dave, perhaps a more appropriate verse than mine, but no!”

I’m sorry but I suspect that I, too, have a weird sense of humor, and I am laughing a little too hard now to write more…

Since my wife’s testimony was posted, I’ve met a few well-meaning people who have encouraged me to take a good, hard look again at how my opposition to the Mother was in error.

And I must say that, after much consideration and study, I agree with them.

Hence, it is our wish to now state that we’ll be returning to the faith of the Apostles and the great Church fathers, and follow the Roman pontiff in his guidance for our salvation.

For those who are still erroneously believing that the Roman Catholic is not the true Church, I’d strongly encourage you to do some serious studying for yourselves the history of the Church and our faith — not only from the Bible but from traditions of men passed down through generations that must be taken into consideration as they are on par with Scripture.

When Karen and I knew that we were to trust the Lord on His purpose for giving her such a heavy heart until she wrote her testimony down, we had no idea what the purpose(s) would be, and how He would surprise us.

We just saw that Christian Research Net (CRN) highlighted her testimony… I was shivering, and we were left speechless, and in awe of how God works!

CRN is a blog that both of us respect a ton (we are not exaggerating) and it’s on our daily must-read list.

This isn’t our glory, but God’s!

We pray that those who come to read it from the link at CRN are blessed by her testimony, and that Roman Catholics shall discern and leave that evil religious system as Karen did!

Soli deo Gloria!

Foreword: I thought I’d give a little background into how this testimony came about, because it simply demonstrates how often God works wonderfully in us and there’s only goodness when we submit to His will.

For some days now, my wife has told me that she hasn’t been able to sleep well because God has prompted her time and again to write her testimony down.

She asked me why, and I told her testimonies were a good way for us to glorify God through telling others what He has made anew in us. As to why God is telling her to do so I am not sure, yet we need trust that the Lord has need for her to do something that has not been revealed, but it’s all good (Romans 8:28).

We had retired rather late to bed last night. Just 15 minutes later, she was out of bed, and the study light came on while her computer whirred to life. When I popped into the study to ask why she wasn’t in bed, she was quite in tears, telling me that God had admonished her for not submitting to His will, right after prayers.

She had been fighting the burden in her heart to write her testimony down, believing wrongly that it’s rather pointless.

It was the first time she had experienced such a prompting, so I gently told her that that’s what God does with me many, many times over — a feeling so heavy in one’s heart that you go on your knees and cry out saying, “Father, Lord, I’ll obey and do it!”

I made coffee for us and stayed up with her while she completed her testimony which we are now sharing with you. May it encourage and bless you as it has us.

Is this the beginnings of the one-world faith/religion that shall come in the Last Days?

I don’t think so because the movement has been in effect for some time, but this is definitely an open declaration that the movement is well and is being pushed to all and sundry from the United Nations, starting with the young in schools.

The movement pushes the idea that all religions are equal and reverence the same God, and it has crossed denominational lines and borders in the name of tolerance. That means that those of us who stick to the Bible’s proclamation that Jesus Christ is the only way and truth to God the Father will labeled intolerant bigots.

I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

– John 14:6
