And you thought we were the only country in the world with someone trying to Toll our highways. Nope siree. Texas in the Us of A is having the exact and I mean the exact same problem.
For those who do not understand future events that will transpire shortly, this newly renovated highway of ours was not built for your convenience, it was built to swiftly impoverish all individuals and imprison you in your own country.
If you want to know more, if you care to know the real truth as to why Sanral went ahead and took a loan for an astronomical R20 billion from the Word Bank without consulting the public as to whether they are even interested in paying +/- 40c p/km, then please read further.
Did you know that the European Union was an experiment
that had long been planned by those behind a one world
government. The idea being that if the European Union
proved the success of political and economic integration
then this model could be repeated across other world regions.
Now we have the Africa Union and the coming North American
Union. Other regions are still at the economic union only
stage but it is much easier to start off with economic union
followed by political union rather than the other way around.
With the opening weekend success of his latest film, “Jumping The Broom,” Bishop T.D Jakes, along with Joe Roth, will produce the adaptation of the novel “Heaven Is For Real: A Little Boy’s Astounding Story of His Trip To Heaven And Back,” which Sony Pictures acquired the screen rights to. The film is based on an adaptation of the novel with the same namesake by Todd Burpo, also a producer.
Today I will give a review of Heaven is for Real – A Little Boys Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back. I went to a local Christian book store called CUM Books stores here in South Africa to find hundreds of copies of this book stacked under the ‘Best Selling’ section. I picked one up and thought to myself, “Satan’s smart, he is now using little kids to sell his story.”
To give a brief summary of the story, little Colton aged 4, complains of stomach pains and runs a high fever. His parents, Todd and Sonja Burpo take him to a hospital where the doctor fails to diagnose the problem. The little boy is now deteriorating to such an extent that they remove him out of the hospital and take him to another one where he is diagnosed for a burst appendix. Rushed into surgery, little Colton while on the surgery table experiences something many people never do. He apparently goes to Heaven and meets Jesus. After he is home he starts to recount his story to his parents, as best as a 4 year old can, of his trip to Heaven and back.
There have been many books written by many people on their supposed trips of Heaven where they meet a ‘Jesus’ type person. One being Choo Thomas’ “Heaven is so Real” and then Don Piper’s “90 Minutes in Heaven”, who just happens to endorse Heaven is For Real. In the front of the book on the ‘Praise for Heaven is For Real’ pages, there are praises from 12 different people telling you why you should by this book, all reasoning as to why Colton’s story is just as good as that of the bible, and why you should “allow a little child to lead you.” – Don Piper, Speaker and Author, 90 Minutes in Heaven
Frightening expectations of unprecedented natural disasters and apocalyptic judgements that would strike the world in 2011 had been stirred up in different quarters, but nothing happened! We are now in 2012, and for this year even more prophecies of doom alluding to the destruction or near-destruction of all life on earth have been uttered.
As far as 2011 is concerned, there were the predictions of Harold Camping of Family Radio in California that the rapture of believers would occur on 21st May 2011, followed by five months of divine judgements, up to 21st October 2011, during which virtually all life on earth would have been exterminated. Camping wrote a book titled, The Doomsday Code.
Monster Energy has taken off like hot cakes, you see people wearing their branded clothing in the malls. Monster Energy endorses racing teams; if it’s fast and it’s fun, they will endorse it. I always looked on in amazement as to what on earth their logo meant because it did not look good.
You will be shocked, just as I was to realised that the Monster logo is a ‘type‘ of a Mark of a Beast. I compared the 3 lines that appear to make up the letter M (note the lines in the Monster logo are not joined together) to the Hebrew alphabet and this is what I discovered; the Hebrew letter Vav (which has a numerical value of 6) was a match.
Unbelievable as it sounds, one of the latest New (old) Age temptations to confront both the world and the church is to encourage spiritual and religious seekers to talk with the dead. In this maneuver we can see the adversary’s ploy is to further open the door to a seducing spirit world (1Timothy 4:1). Demonic spirits that impersonate deceased loved ones will attempt to convey “new understandings” and “new revelations” that will contribute to a “new worldview.” This will ultimately lead to a deceptively contrived world peace. This deceptive “peace” plan was warned about in the Bible (Daniel 8:25, Matthew 24:3-5, 1 Thessalonians 5:3, 1 Tim 4:1, 1 John 4:1, Revelation 13, etc.).
This temptation to talk and listen to the dead has already entered the church. And it is entering through mainstream evangelical doorways. Pastor Steve Berger and his wife Sarah have written a book entitled Have Heart: bridging the gulf between heaven and earth. In this book they describe how their recently deceased son, Josiah, has appeared to them and to members of their church in a variety of ways.
Put before we focus on the actual Passion 2012 conference I want to just focus on Louie Giglio’s choice of names: 268Generation and Passion.
The website is 268generation.com and many other websites that all seem to point back to 268generation.com and is based on the following scripture: Isaiah 26. Now who bases an entire ministry on 1/2 of a prophetic scripture in the bible that from a layperson’s view seems like a scripture that can easily be distorted to support a “works” driven ministry?
It is with a very heavy heart that I re-post this article because there is a man who I looked up to that I am now going to expose – Roger Oakland.
I had previously done an article on Chuck Missler here: Dr. Chuck Missler, SWANsat and the Auric™ Currency and one on his Wife, Nancy Missler here: Nancy Missler and Henrietta Mears but the time has come to expose this man for all it’s worth. Unfortunately Roger Oakland is in the middle of all this. I dunno how he got there, only he knows why he is associating with such a man as Chuck Missler.
The Bible is very clear on the matter on who you associate with.
2 Corinthians 6:14 “14Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness?”
I hope Miriam Franklin is NOT Guilty of these crimes. NEWS UPDATE – It has been proved without a shadow of a doubt that Miriam Franklin from Endtimes Prophetic Words, is the same Miriam Rosalind Franklin who owned Diggory Press. (read comments below)
————————–
[Notes by DTW - Yes, it is unfortunate that Miriam from ETPF is the same Miriam Rosalind Franklin from Diggory Press and Meadow books publishing.
DTW will now analyse the situation from a Biblical perspective as to why things when so wrong. After reading her blog especially the comments section where people asked Miriam questions the following became very clear:
ERROR No.1 She is does not believe in a future rapture, because her eschatology beliefs are Amillennial –Amillennialism is the idea that there will not be a future literal 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ upon the earth. (Revelation 20:1-6). The Latin prefix ameans “no” while the term millennium is Latin for 1000 years – Amillennialism thus meaning “no 1000 years”.

Doesn’t the Bible refer in a number of places to wine and strong drink? Don’t we quite often find people drinking alcohol in the Bible? Can’t we assume, then, that Scripture generally does not condemn drinking alcoholic liquor?
It’s true that we often find people drinking alcohol in the Bible and that Scripture speaks of alcoholic beverages, but we need to be careful not to read too much into a superficial look at such texts. When our English Old Testaments refer to alcohol, they generally use the words wine or strong drink. So any examination of the Old Testament’s attitude toward alcohol must take into account the different Hebrew words translated into these two English terms.
The term strong drink presents no major translation problems because only one Hebrew word, shekar, lies behind it. But even so, the translation strong drink is more general than it ought to be. Modern readers may well think of strong drink as distilled liquor. But that is not what the Bible means by the term shekar….
Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church in Lake Forest, California often finds himself at the center of controversy for joining hands with those of questionable doctrine and practice. One of the more surprising partnerships in recent years is his attachment to Calvinism and not just any Calvinism but what he cleverly calls “Kuyper Calvinism.” His switch to Calvinism has made for some interesting bedfellows as people on both sides of the issue are now related to one another and trying to manage their new found “cousins” in their family.
Albert Mohler
Announcement
Rick Warren’s shift to Calvinism was officially announced in 2007 when he was accepted into the membership of Together for the Gospel (T4G), a Calvinist organization that began with conservative Calvinists Ligon Duncan, Mark Dever, Al Mohler and C. J. Mahaney for the purpose of promoting Calvinism’s core “Doctrines of Grace” (aka TULIP). Warren released a statement explaining his association with T4G shortly after his acceptance saying, “I know this is going to be difficult for many to accept, but in the famous words of Martin Luther ‘My conscience is captive to the word of God!’ I look forward to building relationships with those with whom I have disagreed for so long. I am excited to now be a part of the Together for the Gospel team.” While this was Rick Warren’s “coming out” event, it’s not his first mention of Calvinism. He’s apparently held to the sovereign predestining purposes of God for some time.
Angus recently went to Ireland and preached to Protestants and Roman Catholics:[Emphasis added below]
** “This Sunday I will be in Durban and next week I go to Belfast, Northern Ireland to preach to the Protestants and the Roman Catholics and the whosoevers.” [3]
** “We saw many healings, salvations and re-commitmentsand a stirring in the hearts of the Irish people.” … [16]
** “At our meetings we had Catholics and Protestants together, surrendering their lives to Jesus Christ. It was a wonderful time ofreconciliation.””[16]
Because we are living in the last days (and boy are we in the last days), we are seeing more and more ‘Evangelists’ turning to Rome, and speaking a message that Pentecostals, Protestants, et al need to come together with Rome and work together on common ground.
And you thought we were the only country in the world with someone trying to Toll our highways. Nope siree. Texas in the Us of A is having the exact and I mean the exact same problem.
