Law of Attraction WORKS

When Deuteronomy 18 lists witchcraft among the abominations God says not to be a part of, it has to do with, “I know secret code words I can speak and when I speak them, it gives POWER in the spirit world.”

“You ever heard a preacher tell you your words have power? It’s called ‘word of faith,’ ” explains Richard Jordan (shorewoodbiblechurch.org). “In the business world they call it the ‘Law of Attraction.’ It’s all the same thing and it’s EVERYWHERE. Why? Because it’s the way the world’s been made to work; that (other) spirit that RULES and WORKS.

“This Mystery Mother prospers everywhere the Word of God, the springs of living water, doesn’t go out; where there’s hunger for God’s Word and yet it’s gone and people are out there in that barren wilderness of life. She doesn’t prosper where God’s Word holds sway, because light drives darkness away.

“In Jeremiah 7 and 44 she’s called the Queen of Heaven. Baalam, the sun god, the god of heaven, marries the earth and he’s got a queen. The whole issue here is the joining of heaven and earth together. That’s Satan’s original intention. That’s the secret; the intent behind it all to make Lucifer the head of heaven and earth. It’s to put him on the throne and bring the two together under his control.

In his book on Apostasy and Ecumenism, author Dave Hunt writes, “Catholicism has become the ecumenical leader in a move to unite not only the ‘separated brethren’ of Protestantism but all of the world’s religions in a new world church . . .
“One finds every shade of New Age, occult, and mystical belief inside the Roman Catholic Church itself . . . One of John Paul II’s most amazing feats was the gathering at Assisi, Italy, in 1986 of 130 leaders of the world’s 12 major religions to pray for peace.  Praying together were snake worshippers, fire worshippers, spiritists, animists, North American witch doctors, Buddhists, Muslims, and Hindus, as well as ‘Christians’ and Catholics. The pope declared that all were ‘praying to the same God.’ On that occasion the pope allowed his good friend the Dalai Lama to replace the cross with Buddha on the altar of St. Peter’s church in Assisi and for him and his monks to perform their Buddhist worship there . . ."

“In 313 A.D. there was the Edict of Milan with Constantine.  Christianity was persecuted and the statement, ‘The blood of the martyrs is the seedbed of the church,’ comes from the era with Titian. Constantine came along and said he had a vision, the sign of the Cross, and the message was that ‘in this sign conquer’ and he did what every good Roman Catholic does; he just said, ‘You’re all Christians now.’ And through the Edict of Milan he declared the Roman Empire to be Christian. Is that how you become a Christian? You know that but lost people don’t know that.

“You go out here on the corner and you talk to a lost guy, if he’s my age, and you say, ‘Are you a Christian; you’ve got to trust Jesus Christ,’ and he’ll snap, ‘You say I’m not a Christian?!’ I got a brother-in-law who has NO interest in God and spiritual things—anything of that nature. Last year, though, he was telling me how he was a Christian. And I said, ‘Well, when did that come about?’ and he answered, ‘I was born that way.’ It was like, ‘What do you think I am?! I’m not a Muslim, a Hindu, a pagan.’ Well, see, you know better than that but for lost people . . .

“Rome is Christianized and what that did was take the persecution away but it also established . . . If your church is in the capital city of the empire, who do you think eventually is going to win out? So by 500, you’ve got the first pope; a dude named Leo. And they declare the Roman church and the hierarchy of the Roman system and the established church becomes the Roman-dominated church and that’s how all of that came about.

“Now in the meantime, you got all these people up in Antioch who are preaching and carrying the word out. In 380, a guy by the name of Jerome produced what’s called the Latin vulgate. That became the official Bible of the Roman Empire. That’s the Roman bible.

“Nine hundred years later, in the 1200s, there is in southern France what was called the Council of Toulouse, which gathered together a persecution of the Aldengians and the Albigensians who were using bibles from Antioch. And the Council was a crusade in southern France and northern Italy to destroy these bibles and replace them with the Roman bible.

“The Dark Ages are the dark ages because . . . you remember the Vandals and the Visigoths? They sweep down into Europe, destroy the Roman Empire and the feudal system developed. One of the things that happened when these pagans came down and overthrew and wiped out Rome, they were arrested, overawed by the pomp and the rituals of the Roman Catholic Church and the succumbed and submitted themselves to the Roman system of religion.

“They were barbarians, basically, who gave themselves over to the splendor and the ‘jazz’ of the theater and took back with them Romanism, run by Catholicism, and Jerome’s Alexandrian bible became their bible. And so it prevailed as the standard bible of the church in feudal Europe all through the Dark Ages.

“In that period of time you had ancestors—the Waldensians, the Vaudois’, those names come mainly 

from the places they lived. They were the mountain people in the Swiss Alps, for one example. These people fled there basically to live in peace. They were back there because they wanted to be able to live and raise their families believing what they wanted to believe and preach, living in the light they had. They’re preserving God’s Word sort of behind the scenes. And when you get over into the times of the Crusades, a lot of the crusades are focused on these folks."
