The Essence of a Real Woman

There is much talk about Biblical womanhood in the Church, which indeed an important topic. However, owing to the confusion about the subject by many people because of misinterpretation and misapplication of Scripture, this subject has become controversial and difficult to understand.  Many attribute the controversial nature of the subject of Biblical womanhood in the eyes of today's Church to the influence of feminism in the Church. While it is true that much of the controversy is owing to many women being poisoned by feminism, there are also legitimate genuine concerns about certain purported teachings in the Church on Biblical womanhood. Such teachings that involve a perversion of Scripture that is being used to oppress women, which is a concern that warrants discussion. The use of Scripture of oppress people, not just women, is a very real concern.  All discussion on Biblical womanhood must address the fundamental question: what is a real woman? A real woman is one who...

The Oppressed Daughter Syndrome and its Demonic Binding Powers

There is a phenomenon called the 'oppressed daughter syndrome'. It is a real syndrome and is not only that which has a spiritual dimension, but is demonic in nature. It is therefore an important issue to address from a Christian perspective, as is the case with all kinds of oppression. The  'oppressed daughter syndrome' manifests in all kinds of symptoms, such as shyness, a lack of healthy self-respect, lack of confidence, forced career choices, rushed marriages, marital distress, especially loveless marriage, and hyper-conservativism and hyper-traditionalism, and lack of an ability to reach one's full God-given potential, and hence destiny in accordance to the Will of God, which is to know God and glory Him in all one does. One salient characteristic of such a woman is that she is shy to the extreme. By shy, I am not saying quiet and gentle as a woman should be, but rather, severely lacking courage and confidence. Everything she does is marked by a lack of cour...

A Vision about the spirit of Religion

I saw a vision during the evening on Friday 26 April 2019: I saw a woman being tied up in metal chains. There were chains all over her. She was struggling and crying out. As she cried out, a man placed  a duct tape, with two strips of heavy-duty tape cross over each other, over her mouth to stop her cries. As she continued to cry out, the man slapped her in the face twice to make her shut up. The woman symbolises those under the spirit of religion. The chains symbolises bondage, and the man symbolises those who use religion to oppress others, and hold them in bondage, more specifically spiritual bondage . The Lord later revealed to me that the chains are the rules that religion imposes on people based on false doctrines that people try to find, by twisting Scripture. These rules tie people up in bondage. The duct tape symbolises the attempt to stop people from calling out to God for truth, because they are being told that the false doctrines imposed by religious people are the ...

The Devil Believed in and Fought for His so-called "Rights". So does the world whose father is the Devil.

  We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the wicked one (1 John 5:19). The world loves the idea of its so-called "rights", and loves to fight for them. The world, as 1 John 5:19 is under the power of satan, that vile, serpent whose works Christ came to destroy (1 John 3:8) and who Christ has defeated by defeating sin and death (1 Corinthians 15:55-57): He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8).   O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:55-57). The devil believed in and fought for his "rights". So, it should be no surprise this vile world does the same. Isaiah 14:12-15 says: 12  How art thou fall...

God's Moral Prohibition on Usury which applies to All Loans, not just Loans to the Poor

Many in the modern Church, including conservative Christian theologians, think that the prohibition of usury in the Old Testament was only applicable to loans to the poor, and permitted to all other loans. They even try to argue that by not charging usury, one is sinning, loving to (mis)use verses like 1 Timothy 5:8 to make such a vile, abominable, disgusting argument.  On the face of it, it may seem as though only charging usury against the poor was prohibited by God: " If thou lend money to any of my people that is poor by thee, thou shalt not be to him as an usurer, neither shalt thou lay upon him usury " (Exodus 22:25). This raises the question as to why in Exodus 22, only charging interest to the poor is mentioned. In Old Testament Israel and throughout the ancient world, it was mostly the poor who borrowed money for their basic needs. So, this is why this command was directed to how to treat the poor. There are clear instances in the Bible where there is no indicati...

Debt is not "Normal", but a Manifestation of Serving Mammon

 The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender (Proverbs 22:7). Many in the modern Church think that debt is normal. Of all people, it is the Church who should know that debt is not "normal", in the sense that it is legitimate, but that a person of debts is not spiritually healthy. Even the unsaved know that there is something insidious about debt - but they do not know the spiritual illness that debt brings. For just as the blind cannot know what colour is, how can the sick know what it is to be healthy? Just as the Church rightly knows that divorce and fornication are not "normal" in the sense of being legitimate, it should also know that debt and usury are not "normal" in the same sense of the term. So, how do I know debt is not "normal"? Proverbs 22:7 tells us that the borrower is servant to the lender. The borrower is not just serving, but a servant to the lender. The lender is the master over the borrower. ...

The Oppression of Debtors by Creditors who Pervert and Twist the meaning of Debt and Credit

Debt is not only that which keeps people in bondage. Indeed, it is a tool of oppression. Oppression is that which is unrighteous and unjust: Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked, out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man [or oppressor in some translations] (Psalm 71:4). I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors (Psalm 119:121). It is not mere "inequality" or unfairness, that which people love to complain about out of their own envy, as people in the modern world love to claim out of their vile, evil, unrighteousness which has made them deluded and of an unsound mind. Those who do not fear God but fear anything else, whether it be fearing people, fearing lack, or fearing security will have a spirit of fear and an unsound mind. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).  He who has money can control others, not merely by his power of give money, but to claim...

The spirit of Witchcraft uses Debt to Oppress those who Cannot Repay

Debt is a game embraced by the rich of the world, that is, those who have at least some. Debt, indeed, is a plaything of the rich used to oppress the poor, those who cannot repay. GK Chesterton once said in his classic book Utopia of Usurers and other Essays that: " Everyone knows that the people who can least pay their debts are the people who are always trying to. Among the poor a payment may be as rash as a speculation. Among the rich a bankruptcy may be as safe as a bank. Considering the class from which private soldiers are taken, there is an atrocious meanness in the idea of buying their blood abroad, while we sell their sticks at home ". That debt even exists is itself an indictment to the world, both the poor and the rich, those who have none and those who have some, both the borrower and the lender. It is an indictment to the world. People have to borrow money because people choose to treat what they possess as belonging to them, as individuals when all thi...
