I found a website that is scary to me. Anyone or Anything that teaches something other than the sound doctrine of the Bible has eternal ramifications and should be avoided unless you are wearing the full armor of God. You must know His Holy Word to protect yourself from deception. When a person is having a vision or while meditating, that person can be deceived into thinking that it came from God. That person may never have even thought that it possibly could have came from Satan instead of God. False teachers and false religions have always been formed in this way.
Reverend Jones and the Peoples Temple occult he created is one that comes to mind, and is a prime example of Satan's deception over a person's mind. Rev.Jones attached himself to the Christian faith, but his teachings were polluted by false doctrine and belief that was given to him by the evil one. In the end, Jim Jones and over 900 of his followers committed mass suicide because of Satan's deception over Rev. Jones and his followers. It is important to know: JESUS WOULD NEVER ASK YOU TO KILL, COMMIT SUICIDE, ENGAGE IN SEXUAL IMMORALITY, OR ANY OTHER DEPLORABLE ACT OF SIN. The example below shows how Satan can deceive a person, even one who is seeking the One True God of the Bible, into false doctrine or belief. On this person's website, he declares Jesus appeared to him in a vision. He now wants to share this revelation to the public. We know this is deception caused by Satan by what this person writes.
This person who created this site states: Jesus appeared to me on March 17, 1984. I was 28 years old at the time. He
instructed me to spread His solution for the achievement of world peace and
to work towards it. He instructed me to tell people the precise location of
Heaven. And he instructed me to share the cure for cancer. BUT He told me
NOT TO TELL ANYONE He had appeared to me until after the dawn of the new
millennium when at that time I would receive a sign. The sign would be a
huge natural disaster. For a brief while I thought the events of September
11, 2001 were the sign that it was OK to tell people that Jesus had appeared
to me. However, I knew that Jesus had said it would be a NATURAL DISASTER so
I remained silent. Then the tsunamis of December 2004 hit. I realized that
it was time for me to come forward. I have been trying to go public since
then.
The four revelations (that are in actuality deceptions of Satan) this person declares Jesus gave him are:
#1. THE PRECISE LOCATION OF HEAVEN:
When we die we will become stars... Literally stars! Jesus Christ is our
Earth's sun. That is why we are His... Because we come on one of His
planets. When we die and become stars we, too, will be blessed by wonderful
special planets which orbit us and bring us great happiness. God the
Creator is also a star... The first and the greatest. Two thousand years
ago Jesus said "I am the Light of the World." Jesus now wants us to
understand that this means He is the Sun and that when we die, we will
become stars too.
The first (
#1) of his revelations is the one that scares me the most by far! Why does #1 scare me the most? Because the Bible describes Satan in the same way- as a torch, star, lightning. and angel of light. Also, the name of Lucifer (Satan) means "bearer of light", "Luminous", or "the morning star".
Isaiah 14: 12 12 How you have fallen from heaven,
O morning star, son of the dawn!
You have been cast down to the earth,
you who once laid low the nations!
Satan desires to be a bright shining star.
Look what else scripture reveals about Satan:
The Bible describes Lucifer as "burning like a torch."Revelation 8: 10-11 10The third angel sounded
his trumpet, and a great star, blazing like a torch, fell from the sky
on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water 11the name of the star is Wormwood. Jesus declares He saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning.Luke 10: 18 18He (Jesus) replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Satan is disguised as an angel of light. 2 Corinthians 11: 14 14And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. Satan as a star will fall from the sky to the earth.Revelation 9: 1 1The fifth angel sounded
his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the
earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss.#2. THE CURE FOR CANCER: The cure
for cancer is actually the knowledge of the precise CAUSE OF CANCER. We
already know the cures for cancer, mainly prevention and early detection.
Also chemotherapy, radiation, surgery and alternative medicine. We also are
acutely aware of the roles of carcinogens, environment, heredity and diet.
But what is the PRECISE AND SOLE CAUSE OF CANCER? CANCER OCCURS WHEN WE
EAT OUR OWN FLESH. (Two very simple examples of eating our own flesh are
biting our cuticles or biting our lips.) When a piece of our own flesh is
digested, microscopic fragments of our own DNA enter the bloodstream. If a
piece of this DNA enters a vulnerable cell, the nucleus of the cell
identifies the 'food' as 'self' and this causes a 'circuit' to be blown in
the nucleus. When (and if) that cell goes to divide, it does so in a
haphazard fashion, dividing into four instead of into two and the mutation
continues. There is an interesting correlation to Christianity here. Jesus
told us to "take His flesh and eat it." Now he wants us to know not to eat
our own flesh in any way because it is deadly.
#3. THE SOLUTION FOR THE ACHIEVEMENT OF
WORLD PEACE: This is so simple! According to Jesus, the way to achieve
world peace is this: An AMERICAN president has to set a goal for WORLD
PEACE BEFORE 2021. (President Kennedy did something similar when he set a
goal for the USA to land a man on the moon in the 60's.)
#4. JESUS REVEALED TO FUTURE TO ME:
The future will go one of two ways: If world peace is not achieved before
2021 the world will destroy itself. If world peace is achieved before 2021,
there will be no more natural disasters.
Because of my love for God and my fellow man, I e-mailed this person the below letter. I did it in love and as a warning to this person to not be deceived and be pulled away from the Truth of Scripture. I wrote:
I went on your site, and I must give you this warning. Your revelation
is not from the one true God of the Bible. I can so firmly say this because everything you
reveal contradicts the Word of God. All thought that enters our
minds must be examined using scripture to see if it is of God. We must
not believe all thought that enters our mind is of God. Satan's only offense is deception,
and he attempts to lie and deceive us through our minds.
Scripture reveals differently what you declare:
1) Followers of Jesus become children of God, not stars after death (Romans 8: 16) (Philippians 2: 15) (1 John 3: 1-2)
2)
Heaven is a real place being prepared by Jesus for us so we can be with him
forever. (John 14: 1-3).
It will be a place with no more tears, pain
/suffering, or death and God shall be with man (Isaiah 25: 8 and
Revelation 21: 3-5). Their will be no more hunger or thirst (Revelation
7: 15-17)
I will never become a star, I will always be a man. I WILL SEE GOD with my own eyes and in my own flesh (Job 19: 25-27)
3)
Jesus is not earth's sun, He is God. He is our Creator. Both the Old
Testament and the New Testament declare the Messiah is God. (Isaiah 9:
6) (John 1: 1-3).
We are already made in His own image (Genesis 1:27) and we will always remain that way.
4) The Bible declares we should look for the signs of Christ
return, but never make predictions. You have done what the Bible
declares we should not do. (1 Thessalonian 5: 4-6, Revelation3: 3, and
Matthew 24: 43) Only God knows the day and hour of his return (Matthew
24: 36)
I must speak the truth. Because you have declared many false
statements concerning what the Bible declares about God, Jesus, and the
Holy Spirit. Also on your inaccuracies of Heaven, what happens after death, and more- I must rebuke
you and give you this warning. Seek God as you have, but seek the one
true God of the Bible. While meditating or seeing visions you think came from God, test it. Test it for truth by seeing what God's revelation
to man says from the Bible. Put on the full armor of God.
Ephesians 6: 10-18 The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12For
our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers,
against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and
against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13Therefore
put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you
may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything,
to stand. 14Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18And
pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and
requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for
all the saints. I
have written you this letter in love, so you will read your Bible to
know what God reveals in scripture. Then when you meditate or have
visions, you will open up your Bible and you will know if that thought or vision came from God, or if it came
from the evil one.
God loves you and so do I!
