Linda, This is an excellent post from your heart as only Our Lord could have laid upon one who has been asked to be used of Him.

Patti, I had missed your post of the New Age Christian. Oh, my, yes, I can understand your concern over these people whom you love and yet do not know what they are proclaiming with that Bumper Sticker. I can only suggest one thing beyond all that Linda has said in her post. Why not take each one of those symbols you saw on the license, research each one and type up a description for your friends as to their Occult meaning. Unless we show them what this means, they actually think they are proclaiming a message from the Lord Himself. I did this for a family member who thought it was 'cool' to portray the peace symbol. Also, the cross is the Tau, a most unholy sign portrayed in Old Babylonian and Egyptian pictures. Remember our Lord was crucified on this despicable piece of wood and every mass that is said with that crucifix is crucifying him over and over again, each and every day all around the world. Why would the New Agers wear this sign of the Tau unless it represented their god, Lucifer?

As we know He did not come to bring peace but a sword. He will deal with all of those who are Lukewarm just as swiftly as He promises for the unbelievers.

Bless you Patti; my you be given the insight that for which you are looking,

Hi Sisters,

I read your post first thing after it went up this morning Patty but I did not respond because I did not know what to say at the time. I had some work to do for my 75 year old mother today and when I got home, I knew what I wanted to tell you!

You know how you feel about your neighbors? Try knowing that your own mother is so brain washed that she gets mad at you and refuses to talk to you about ANYTHING when you bring up the False Doctrine of modern Christendem and pagan holidays of the pomp and folly she follows. Most of my family are knee deep in deception, and think I AM CRAZY when I try to reason with them from the BIBLE!

I love them all, but how can two spirits of differing beliefs walk in unison? They can't. We can only pray for them. You can only trust the Lord and the word of God straight from the Bible in these times we are in. I get so depressed that I want to give up! Then the Lord reminds me that I still have a few BOARDS here and there to get out of my own eyes, and I turn my awareness back to trying to be all I am suppose to be for the Lord and walk in his steps as best I can. And with his help, I am able to understand and continue in this life to perform whatever it is he has for me. I thank him daily, as best I can remember, for giving me the oppurtunity to have life and be able to affect his purpose in what ever way I am capable of.

Here is a verse for you to ponder:

Jeremiah 9:23......Thus sayeth the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty man glory in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches:

24.................But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I am the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgement, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these things I delight, sayeth the LORD.

The LORD showed me this when I was very depressed about not being able to get through to someone about IDOLS and pagan worship! How appropriate that he led me to these two verses that were leading right into the subject matter that I was trying to convey to my family and friends. The LORD was talking STRAIGHT TO ME! And I felt his love for me because I "KNEW" that he understood how I felt and wanted me to know that he delighted in my concern for the TRUTH!!!

Sister, I have NO DAUGHT that you love the LORD! So, now you can have NO DAUGHT, that he delights in your concern for your neighbor!

I hope this helps you, and I will pray for your neighbor, and you too, all of you! Keep the faith, and stay strong in the Lord, Jesus Christ, our saviour....

Thank you dear friends,

I so appreciate the wonderful advice and encouragement you have given me.

Gerlinda,

I think your idea is a good one. These people are such good people who do a great deal of good works for the community, so it will be difficult to approach this issue without offending them, but it could be they are not aware of the occult use of these symbols. And, the church they attend teach acceptance of all people and non-judgment…so they feel they are serving the Lord. Yet, I may try to discuss this issue in regards to something I am working on, and not relate it to their bumper sticker. Thanks for sharing that idea…will let you know what happens.


Michael,

I was blessed by your sharing your personal experience about this issue and how it has impacted you. How difficult it must be for you, to be thought crazy by your own family. I am sorry to hear that, but the Lord warned us how it would be…His true believers will not be popular or thought of as fitting in with this New Age agenda of calling evil good and good evil…we will be hated and rejected.

Thank you dear brother for sharing those encouraging verses from Scripture; they really helped and gave me a much needed lifting of spirit. The best we can do is living our lives for Jesus, and let Him direct our words and deeds. The right things will happen when we give it to Him, and as you so rightly said, one must keep praying for all our loved ones as this is something very effective that we can do.

It was so kind of both of you to take the time to help me out with this problem. I am so grateful!! God Bless you both,

Agape!

Patti C.
