My years spent as an Ishaya and practicing Ascension Attitudes

Image
I took my "First Sphere" weekend course in Houston, Tx in the Spring of 1998.  I was taught a few simple phrases based on praise, gratitude, love, and compassion.  They are to be repeated in your mind with your eyes open or closed.  I was very intrigued and wanted to practice it and hoped to learn and advance through all "Seven Spheres" someday.  The Ishayas had a teacher training course in western North Carolina in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains.  It was a place on the side of a mountain called the "Society for Ascension".  But, that cost money.  I was thrilled to find out they offered a yearlong work/study program to earn the tuition for the 8-month long teacher training.  I could not think of a more important thing to do for myself and immediately after receiving my college degree I left my life to join the Ishaya monks. Being A Monk This "new" doctrine gave me hope.  I was ready to drop everything to be what...

How to be Saved. First, the bad news...

HOW TO BE SAVED:      Jesus Christ said the following important words in John 3-8: " Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.  Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.  That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.  Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.  The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. " To go to heaven, you  MUST   be born again!   So, are you saved?  Have you been born again by the Spirit...

YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN

" And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.      And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:     And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love [his] neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. " Mark 12:31-33 (I fall short every day of loving my neighbor.  How best can I love others than to share God's truth with people who are lost?   Even if they hate me for offending them.  Why is it hard for me, when I fall on my knees daily so grateful the Lord loves me, and that a Christian loved me enough to share with me the gospel even though I gave him hell for it?  Lord, forgive me and have mercy on me.  Make me bold so I can love my neighbor. - A...

Conspiracy (Pastor Charles Lawson)

(This sermon is from Nov. 17th, 2019) Pastor Lawson gives a good exhortation about conspiracies.  I recommend this for those who are self-appointed conspiracy-theorists and those who are repulsed by conspiracy-theories.

For the love of reaching Catholics.  This is part 1

Part 2: 13 Reasons Every Christian MUST Reject The Mass

Part 2. Bryan uses Catholic literature to show how Catholic teachings oppose the Catholic Bible.  That's why the Catholic Church teaches from their commentaries instead of the word of God.  Open any Catholic Bible and it is daunting!  It is not an inviting Bible to read and understand.  Confused?  Ask yourself the most important question you may ever ask yourself:  who are you obeying?...God or Satan (through man?)  My experience in studying Catholic approved literature ("imprimatur"-stamped) is that all of it continually has an indirect question to the reader... "yea, hath God said?" - Satan (Genesis 3:1) Offended?  Good!  Then there may be hope for you to get saved. All people of the human race get offended by truth when it's not something they believe.  Most especially, God's truth!!  (I speak from experience.)
