Warfare prayer of the soldiers of the Army of Jesus to bind and destroy the works of the devil

Let us bind and destroy the works of the devil in the name of Jesus Christ who has conquered sin, satan, curse and death on the cross

Pro  12:1  The spirit of the  stupid who hates correction

Joyous report

Wherever I go, I used to send testimonies & photos of the ministries to our people in whatsapp or mail. These days the Lord taught me a lesson regarding this.

The seventy disciples came back and joyously reported “Lord even the demons are submitting to us in your name”.

The immediate response of Jesus was,

“I saw satan falling from heaven like lightening” Lk 10:18

Disciples in their innocence came and reported the miracles Jesus’ name did through them. Jesus was warning them about satan. Why?

There is a danger in the “joyous reporting of demons submitting to us” of amateurs.

Perhaps, “us” is the dangerous word here. Even though they added, “in your name”, satan knew that disciples took pride in casting him out in Jesus’ name. While sharing testimony, we should pray to the Holy Spirit to put words in our mouth. What we are “proud of” will come out automatically in our words. Satan will come to know our weakness and our achievements in which we take pride. He will ask God permission to test us in that area. God also will grant him permission in order to make us strong in that particular area. It happened to Job.  He did not even spare God in His testimony about His servant Job. The Lord was proud of His servant’s uprightness. As soon as God testified Job’s uprightness, satan wanted to test him in that area.

"Take no part in the worthless deeds of evil and darkness; instead, EXPOSE them” Ephesians 5:1

The Old Testament - Roman Catholicism

Catholicism Absorbs Paganism

I’ll give you an example of what I mean. One of the main differences between Christianity and paganism was that Christianity was monotheistic while paganism was polytheistic. Trying to get the pagans to give up their multiple gods proved tricky and so, in order to merge the two systems, the Roman church began to suggest the idea of Patron Saints. In effect what they said was, ‘you don’t need to stop praying to all these various gods and goddesses. All you have to do is call them by a new name. Instead of a god of the travellers, we’ll appoint a saint of the travellers. Instead of a god of the sea, there is now a saint for seafarer etc.’ Where there had previously been a pagan god or goddess assigned to aspects of daily life in the Mystery system, the Catholic Church merely replaced these gods with Saints who were to be prayed to, revered and looked to for guidance instead. Because many people had carved idols of gods and goddesses in their house, they weren’tasked to discard them completely; just to revere them under a new name and identity. All the many pictures and images that existed because of the Mother and Child cults of the day and which originally represented Semiramis and Tammuz, were simply renamed Mother Mary and Christ. The paganism wasn’t removed; it was just given a makeover. 

Another problem for affecting change was the festivals of the day. People’s years were marked by religious holidays much like our own are today. Imagine trying to get everyone in the world to give up Christmas this year. It would be a nearly insurmountable task! People love their holidays. The Catholic church decided that instead of abandoning the old pagan holidays, they would simply adopt them under a new meaning.

Holidays

The winter solstice festival called Saturnalia (The Feast of Saturn) in Rome  the occurred in the week prior to the 25 December and the day itself was called  “Natalis invictis solis” which means “the birthday of the unconquered sun.” Indeed 25 December was widely regarded by all Babylonian religions to be the birthday of Nimrod. It’s a date that crops up frequently. In Egypt, Isis, who was worshipped as The Queen of Heaven was said to be born on this date also. So what did the Catholics do? Effectively they said, ‘keep your festival, let’s just adopt it as the birth date of Jesus Christ instead!’

Similarly the Spring Equinox festival for the goddess of fertility, associated with regeneration, was adopted as Easter. The name Astarte/Ishtar became Eastre in gaelic and it is from this name that we get Easter. Eggs that originally represented fertility were Christianised as a representation of the stone that was rolled away from the front of Jesus’ tomb. It was also a result of merging Babylon with the church that the idea of Lent was introduced. Lent has no Biblical basis whatsoever but was merely an essential part of the Babylonian spring festivals that Catholics adopted under a new meaning.

Hindu Radicals Attack Delhi 12 Churches' Joint Worship, Beat Up Pastors, Ransacked Venue

Mob attacked Christian worship event in Delhi beating up pastors, leaders and ransacking the venue of the event on Friday, 24th February 2017. A mob of Hindu radicals disguised themselves as worshippers attacked the peaceful two-day worship event organised jointly by 12 churches in Badarpur, Delhi, beating up the pastors, choir members, injuring some and ransacking the place in the process last night. The worship event called "Delhi NCR Peace Festival," a two-day event was organised by the youths of 12 churches in Delhi and Faridabad border at Krishna Garden, Nala Road, Near Love Kush, Jaitpur, Badarpur area in Southeast Delhi on 23rd and 24th February 2017 from 4:00pm onwards. They have invited Pastor Michael Fernandes from Mumbai as the main speaker of the event; and Pastor Sunny Vishwas and Pastor Vijay Kothwale from Pune were leading the worship with the theme "Your sorrow will be turned into you" taken from John 16:20.

According to one participant, the first night of the event went peacefully. "Many received the grace of God and new hope through the gathering as God's words was proclaimed and many people felt really graceful and lives were touched and changed," he said. "But on the second night, as the worship begins, Hindu radicals – comprising about 15 of them who disguised themselves and sat among the crowd suddenly wake up and straight a way they went to the stage and started beating up the pastors there and also the choir members and anyone on their path," he said. "They were using sticks, iron bar and anything, and beat up the believers mercilessly. Meanwhile, the police were watching the attack without intervention,"

A mob allegedly from RSS and Bajrang Dal attacked Christian worship event at Badarpur, Delhi on Friday night, 24th February 2017. "We were surprised that police did not stop them and they were watching the mob attacking the Christians and the venue boldly. The permission to host the event was taken from the police and they also came to guard the event but they were not doing their job," he said. The event was reportedly attended by over one thousand believers from 12 churches in Delhi and Faridabad. The location of the event is in Badarpur, Delhi, near Faribadad border. The attackers are allegedly belonging to Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Bajrang Dal - known for their frequent attack on Christains and have interrupted many Christian events in different parts of the country. Another participant said that they hit everything on their path – leaders were especially targeted, some incurring injuries as well; and broke the speaker's lectern, tables, chairs and any articles on it.

A mob of Hindu radicals attacked Joint Christian worship event beating up pastors, and faithful injuring some and ransacking the venue on Friday, 24th February 2017. "It is sad that Christians are not allowed to hold event like this peacefully," he said. One pastor who participated in the event said, "This is basically to intimidate and frighten pastors and leaders from preaching the word of God and Christians in general from witnessing it to others. It only strengthens our faith in Lord Jesus Christ, the Saviour of the world," he said.

Ezekiel 36:8 Prophecy Is Coming True In The Galilee!

One of the benefits of living in modern Israel is physically experiencing Biblical prophecy coming to life. Two families who moved to Israel's Upper Galilee town of Yavne'el from Canada daily witness Jacob's blessing to his son Naftali, one of the twelve Israelite tribes, coming to fruition right in their own backyards. "Yavne'el is in the portion of the Land of Israel which Jacob blessed to be fertile and for the fruit to ripen quickly," explained Rabbi Shmuel Veffer, owner of Galilee Green, a leading producer and exporter of high quality extra virgin olive oil from Israel. "When we and our business partners Nili and Arnie Abrahams experienced the blossoming of the region around us, we realized that we were watching the prophecy of Ezekiel 36:8 comes to life, 'But you, O mountains of Israel, you will put forth your branches and bear your fruit for My people Israel; for they will soon come.'"

The Veffer and Abrahams families recognized the unique blessing of the region when, several years ago, they joined the local community's olive harvest. They picked the lush olives and immediately pressed them into an amazingly high quality oil which far surpassed anything they had ever tasted. This lead to their realization that people all over the world would benefit from God's blessing of the land and thus, Galilee Green was born. A quick tour of the greater Yavne'el region reveals many archaeological digs with ancient olive presses. In Biblical times, olives were grown for oil, not for eating whole. The oil was used both for food and in lamps for illumination. Today, olive oil is commonly known to be a healthful addition to everyone's diet. Additionally, Jewish people often use olive oil with floating wicks as lights to welcome in the Sabbath. "Galilee Green fulfills many purposes. Besides sharing the blessing of the land and delicious extra virgin olive oil from Israel with the world, we also help support immigrants living locally who are struggling to make a living," said Rabbi Veffer. "Purchasing Galilee Green extra virgin olive oil is also a way for people all over the world to fight the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which unfairly targets Israeli products."

The Bible teaches that there is a unique relationship between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel. According to prophecy, the Holy Land will remain barren until the Jews return to it. Then, the land will flourish and give forth abundant fruit. Indeed, this is what is happening today. "We are blessed to live in the Land of Israel, produce a Biblical product and share these blessings with the world," smiled Rabbi Veffer. "We feel that we are fulfilling Biblical prophecy and Genesis 12:3, 'I will bless those who bless you, And the one who curses you I will curse. And in you all the families of the earth will be blessed.'"
