The King who became sick accepting idolatry

Amaziah king of Judah did not destroy the altars of Baal. He accepted their existence.

The “Queen of Heaven” is carried on the shoulders of Catholics outside St. Halvards Chuch in Oslo in Norway.

I recently was lead into reading chapter 15 in the second book of Kings.

I had to reflect on the rule of this King.  The Bible says He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord. So did His father. Still: The Lord afflicted the king with leprosy. He did not die of leprosy. He died with leprosy.

The interesting question is: Why at all, did the Lord afflict the King with a sickness?

 2 Kings 15: 1-4
In the twenty-seventh year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Azariah son of Amaziah king of Judah began to reign.

He was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jecoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 

 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. The high places, however, were not removed; the people continued to offer sacrifices and burn incense there.

  The Lord afflicted the king with leprosy until the day he died, and he lived in a separate house.Jotham the king’s son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.

As for the other events of Azariah’s reign, and all he did, are they not written in the book of the annals of the kings of Judah?  Azariah rested with his fathers and was buried near them in the City of David. And Jotham his son succeeded him as king.

 (end of Scriptures).

After reading this chapter, the messages from “faith healers” in the Charismatic circles, became even more meaningless.  Their claim that there is an automatic link between the lack of identification of personal sins, and the lack of healing has no Biblical base.

Because as long as we live in a society and culture who accept various Baal altars, we all become guilty of sins. Even the sins of the nations we live in.

The existence of Baal altars inside the Roman Catholic Churches in Norway, is definitely not the fruits of my personal sins.  Neither will I be able to remove them from the face of the earth.

The great tragedy of a nations like Norway, is that we did have a constitution who banished the Jesuits from our land. Roman Catholic Idols where literally carried out of the Churches, and burnt in the fire during the Reformation.

But based on “Human rights” and the fruits of the secular revolution in France, the Baal altars were reintroduced to the Norwegians by their leaders.  On Saturday I took a lot of pictures, inside a claimed to be “Church”.  The wooden idol of the “Queen of Heaven”was there just in front of the altar. The decorated piece of wood was lifted up on the shoulders of men, and paraded through the streets of Oslo.

At a high altar of Baal, the pagan Queen of Heaven is adored. Here inside St. Halvards Church in Oslo.

Since the large majority of Evangelical Christians in Norway have accepted this spiritual whore as a part of Christianity, what else can we expect than sickness in the body of the Messiah?

Is it sad that many claimed to be Christians seems to be stricken by worse diseases than leprosy. There is no longer any visual difference between the claimed Church and the World.

Norwegians at large serve in fellowships with leaders that have accepted an antichrist in Rome as a global Christian leader. They need to get out of there, to run for their life. Because the same spirit of death that you find inside Roman Catholic Churches are speeding like leprosy inside the Protestant circles too.

What about sickness in the New Testament area?

The Jewish Apostle Paul him self came with trembling and fear to the believers, and had most likely a sickness in one of his eyes. He was sure those who saw him, were willing to cut out their own eyes in a bid to help him.

 Galatians 4:15
What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me.

In another message, Paul explain that not even after praying three times,  Jesus was willing to remove a horn in his flesh, a messenger of Satan.

No reason to believe, that Paul had hidden his personal sins. He called him self a sinner, a wretched man. The reason for his thorn was rather the great revelations God had give him. The Father, Son and the Holy Spirit needed to keep Paul under some kind of discipline, to avoid Him becoming a victim of pries.

Evangelical Churches sued for “Spirit falls”

“They should have either warned Cheryl and people like her of the potential dangers”. 

The floor of Evangelical Churches is not suppose to look like a war zone, where people get injurded by their pastors.

A parishioner at the Disciple Fellowship Christian Church in East St. Louis, Ill., claims the spirit moved another worshiper so much during service that she caused others to tumble over backwards into her, causing injuries. Now she’s suing the church for damages.

Cheryl Jones alleges in a complaint filed in December that she was visiting the church when member of the congregation received the “spirit” during praise and worship and with no ushers or members to assist, the parishioner fell backwards knocking several members into the plaintiff, who was injured falling to the floor.

“They should have either warned Cheryl and people like her of the potential dangers -especially if they’re not going to have deacons or parishioners to help these people when they fall,” attorney for the plaintiff Brian Millikan told ABCNews.com. Because falling during the service, according to Millikan, is something that “seems to happen often” at the church.

My comment:

The devil is sometimes in the details.

If you read the Bible, you will not find a single person who has blessed by the Holy Spirit, by being pushed backwards.

All the people who were touched by the Holy Ghost and worshiped Jesus, feel forward. The positive effect by falling forwards, is that most of us face the ground after having the possibility of using our arms as shock absorbers. We can also bend out knees.

The problem cause by pushing people to fall backwards, is  plenty. Not only can we break our own neck. We can also fall over chairs and tables, and even brake the leg of innocent people behind us.

There is no Biblical defense for the practice of being “slained in the spirit’. Therefor is is suitable for Churches who practice this false Word of faith doctrine, to be sued for damages.

 Mark 3:11
Whenever the impure spirits saw him, they fell down before him and cried out, “You are the Son of God.”

Many Pastors do not mind that their Churches is moves into spiritual bankruptcy. But when they go bust also financially, it might lead them into some kind repentance, and willingness to obey the World of God.

Joel Osteen: Mitt Romney Is a “Believer in Christ Like Me”

Lakewood Megachurch Pastor Says Presidential Hopeful’s ‘Confession’ of Christ Is ‘Enough”.

Joel Osteen has no objections to all who claim "Christ" being son of God.

Joel Osteen, pastor of America’s fastest growing megachurch, has reiterated his opinion that GOP presidential hopeful Mitt Romney is a “believer in Christ like me” and that the former Massachusetts governor’s confession of Jesus as the Son of God is “enough” for him.

Link to the CBS video:

Osteen, senior pastor of Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas, told CBS’ Charlie Rose Monday morning:

 “What I see about Gov. Romney is that he says ‘I believe Jesus Christ is the Son of God. He’s raised from the dead and he’s my savior.’ I see him as being a believer in Christ like me.”

And “that’s enough for you?” Rose questioned.

 “That’s enough for me,” Osteen stated. “There’s differences in all religion. I realize that Mormonism is different from Christianity, but you know what he’s a man of faith and values. And to me that’s strong.”

My comment:

I have earlier warned Christians that Joel Osteen is not a follower of Jesus of the Bible.  This statement of Osteen is just another example of the deception he represent.

 2 Corinthians 11:4
For if someone comes to you and preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the Spirit you received, or a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it easily enough.

1. The “Jesus” of the  prosperity gospel is inspired by the devil and his demons.
2. People who stay put in World of faith congregation are either corrupt, or understands nothing.
3. Teachers like Joel Osteen will support the One World religion. His only demand he has is that people must confess some kind of faith in “Christ”.

Battle cry’s Ron Luce branded leader of cult

US TV: “Youth in Teen Mania Ministries are members of a cult”.

Ron Luke told his youth to eat worms. Only organically grown, he explains.

MSNBC aired a documentary Sunday night featuring former interns from Teen Mania Ministries as a embers of a cult.

During the film, video clips are shown of teens enduring extreme physical activities – like crawling through mud and preparing to eat worms – but Luce says the video is over 10 years old and is never fully explained.

But Luce says filmmakers didn’t put the video clips in context. The worms that were eaten, for example, were “organically grown, made for human consumption” and were only a part of the camp because the reality television series “Fear Factor” was popular at the time.

The filmmakers are also accused of taking audio clips out of context. In one clip, Honor Academy Executive Director David Hasz is heard saying, “We are not going to show compassion to you.” In context, Luce says that was part of a broader message in which Hasz was explaining that the event was designed to be difficult for a reason.

My comment:

A pastor in Norway  took the Church youth through water boarding. He claims he trained them not to give up their faith during torture.

The Media showed him no mercy.

To force youth to eat worms, even if they are “organically grown”, is another fruit if wickedness.

There is nothing about this kind of training in the Bible. There is not a single verse in the New testament, who display such lessons given by Jesus. The Holy Spirit is not a bully, but a gentleman. Worms are not Mana from Heaven.

The theology of Teen Mania is also wrong. Ron Luce tells his students they shall try to establish “gods kingdom on Earth”. Just like the Pope.

This is written on their web-site:

 The answer became both: They chose to reach out to young people and inspire them to change the world through missions by following the Biblical example of Jesus and giving compassion and hope to others with their lives.

To change this World is impossible, and a waist of time. Because the World dwells in evil. The Church is not a “kingdom builder” but a rescue mission. The true Church is a group of living stones who are not of this world. Waiting to be rescued, and taken home to Heaven. Lets do our best while we are here.

Jesus said it plainly: “My Kingdom is not of this World”.

The false prosperity gospel, leads people into worship of the flesh, and the goodies this World has to offer.  The movement who in our days run the race to win the Earth, do not understand the times. “Kingdom Now, or Domain Theology, is another false gospel”.  The last days shall not be known for massive revivals and support for Jesus of the Bible. But for deceptions and apostasy, and the massive revival around the One World Religion and the last anti-Christ. By massive false signs and wonders, the man of lawlessness, will deceive all who demands manifestations to believe in “god”.

When focus is wrong, and the theology is full of deception, the fruits will obviously become bad.

To act like a demon, and force youth to do wicked stuff, is wired and regrettable.

Is this what it takes to prepare youth to make a great show in public, that will be broadcasted on god.tv?

There is surely enough things to do, during discipleship training. Like teaching the youth to forgive people who harm them, to help their neighbors, and to take special care of the sick and needy. No need to eat worms. Rather go and display the Gospel to the people around you. Pray that the Holy Spirit will cut their heart, and that some of them will be found home in the kingdom of Heaven.

To follow Jesus is not difficult, if you are lead by the Holy Spirit. We walk in preplanned works. By their fruits, we will come to know who obey the Messiah, and who do not.

Please read Matthew 7:21-23 all over again. Heaven will not be populated with all who claim they are “born again”
