The Crossless Message

The pope graced our city with his unholy presence last week. The picture above shows our insipid prime minister (who pretends to be whatever the flavour of the month may be - to catholics he is catholic, to buddhists he is buddhist - chameleon!) greeting him I happened to be having lunch opposite the airforce base where his arrival was expected, and watched as the crowds gradually gathered, the police entourage and anti-terrorist squads checked the fenceline, and the roadblocks were set up. I had forgotten that he was actually coming and left before his plane touched down.

The catholic church is a diabolical institution, responsible for the murder, torture and abuse of many millions of souls. Don't ever think for a minute that the harlot has repented of her ways and her filth, even in this twenty-first century. Don't ever believe that the Inquisitors died out in medieval times......no friends, I bleieve that our present pope holds the title of Inquisitor and could reinvoke those powers at any time, I am quite sure.

I read an article about the pope's call for peace, harmony and acceptance of other religions. He called today's youth to renounce materialism (the Vatican is filthy rich - yes, the harlot is adorned in jewels and great riches and rides on the beast) He called the youth to have hope for the new age......the words of the lamb with the voice of the dragon.......I felt disgusted as I looked at the spindly, grotesque crucifix on the pole he carried. Do you remember the story of the Pied Piper, that German fairytale. Welcome the Pied Piper -Ratzinger (do you like the play on words?) he will free the town of rats but take the souls of children.

No gospel will ever be preached from the mouth of a pope, because popes are not Christians. They stand in the place of God and are worshipped accordingly by the deceived and idolatrous. Those who preach the true Gospel of Jesus Christ are traditionally killed by the catholic church. Read your history books, including Foxe's book of martyrs, and you will see that this is true.

The Lord is Faithful

I have lots of half finished posts, and notes. It reflects my busy-ness that I don't get to publish most of them, but I thought it was high time that I put something here. I hope it may bless some of you in passing, anyway.

The Lord has shown His faithfulness time and time again. If you are desperate for deliverance, or for a breakthrough, then don't give up...be like the persistent widow if you have to be, but then rest, knowing that He has heard you, He loves you, and even if we are fickle and fainthearted and feel like giving up, beloved He is faithful!

What I love so much about the Lord, is His jealous desire to have us all to Himself and to do everything necessary to make us fit for heaven, for His highest purpose and to purge us of our unrighteousness. We cry out for our circumstances to be changed or removed, but more often than not, He changes us within our circumstances. I am glad of that. I would rather suffer trials and learn hard lessons than be delivered prematurely or remain unchanged. Sometimes when the Lord convicts me of a truth, it is like a splinter working its way to the surface - irritating, painful and a struggle. I can do nothing to remove it myself, except relinquish to His hand. That can take years. Perhaps I am stubborn too, slowing the process. But I reiterate, that He is faithful and having begun a good work, will complete it.

And I must be patient too for those things which I have asked, and believe His promises to me. Promises for the salvation of my husband, my children and other family members. Even when it seems like the opposite is happening, and that all hell has broken loose, 'my anchor holds within the veil'. I will pray unceasingly, sometimes fast and pray even, but then I can leave my loved ones to the Lord. Because He is faithful.

My oldest son is in the grip of evil, darkness and death. He dresses as a goth and dances with demons. I did my best to raise him to know the Lord, but he has turned his back on all that is right and lovely. I have despaired almost of life itself; I have asked whether I failed as a parent, and listened to every accusation from the enemy. But all this is about me. And the truth is, it never was about me. It is about the Lord's faithfulness. It is about His power to save even those in the darkest rebellion. It is about His infinite greatness, love and mercy.

With praise and with thanksgiving, I will sing to the Lord, for He has done marvelous things. He has heard my cries, even though I am weak amongst the brethren. He has sustained me when I had no strength left. He has restored my hope. I will yet rejoice in Him, and rest in His promise of salvation. The Lord has delighted in me, and His joy strengthens me.

And I know that He is faithful. What He has said, He will accomplish. Amen.

Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father;
There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not;
As Thou hast been Thou forever wilt be.

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see;
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy Faithfulness, Lord unto me.
