Law of attraction WORKS

(new article tomorrow)

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.

The religious system the Antichrist uses to come to power started back in Genesis, but when God changed the program from the prophetic program to the mystery program, the Antichrist program morphed into a mystery form, called “the mystery of iniquity,” to counterfeit godliness.

“This is what the real battle’s about. Most people sit around and try to fight the symptoms--the evil things they see in the world today-- and they miss the source.

“If you take a course in using a fire extinguisher, the first thing they tell you is you don’t spray at the flames; you spray at the base where it’s coming from. You get to the source, not the symptoms.

“All these religions out there have their own little religious system but they’re all worshipping the same ultimate program. She’s the mother of all kind of other things that just reflect different aspects; different cultural expressions of her lie.

“All these religious systems have things they do. An image is a symbol, an idol is a symbol, a sacrifice is a symbol, a temple is a symbol. It’s an expression of a thinking process. There’s a spirit of thinking people have to express themselves in these things.

“We don’t need a symbol; we’ve got the reality. We don’t need all those go-betweens. We don’t need bellhops and busboys. We’ve been made ‘accepted in the Beloved.’ You don’t need aids to worship; you’ve got the truth of God’s Word that you can understand and walk in an intelligent understanding of His will written in His Word. You stand on truth, objectively demonstrated and by faith understood. We don’t need all that stuff, but if you don’t have the other, that’s all you’ve got.

“It’s like Micah in Judges 18 when the guys took off with all of his idols and his priests. He’s wailing, and the guy looks at him and says, ‘What aileth you?’ Micah says, ‘You stole my religion!’ Well, you can’t steal a belief.

“To steal your religion, they’d have to take Christ out of you, and if Christ is one with you, to take Christ out of you--what would it leave in you? Nothing; you’d go with Him! You see what a different mindset that is?! Sometimes we get so stuck on what we have—our money, our job, our possessions, our plans, our things—but this world isn’t it; that’s not our real identity.

“Nahum 3:4 says, [4] Because of the multitude of the whoredoms of the wellfavoured harlot, the mistress of witchcrafts, that selleth nations through her whoredoms, and families through her witchcrafts.

“Notice it effects families and nations. It effects the whole culture you live in; not just you but your family and the world you live in.

“When it’s described as a harlot, it’s describing someone who sells benefits. Here’s someone selling the benefits that this goddess is going to produce. It’s not free love; they want money in exchange for what they’re going to give you.

“When it talks about witchcraft, they’re billed to do miracles and prayer circles and sacred code words.

“I was at an evangelism meeting where a guy got up at the end of the meeting said, ‘Now, we want to have unity in here, so let’s all join hands and make a big circle and sing and have a kumbaya moment.’ I thought, ‘Where’s the restroom; I’ve got to be excused.’ I mean, even in Bible-believing places where people want to preach the gospel, it gets in.”
