Reportedly former European Union chair French President Nicolas Sarkozy is pushing very hard to have former British prime minister Tony Blair become the EU’s President…a permanent position, not one that rotates out every 6 months like it currently does. … What is the world coming to? — Oh yeah, and end! Blair will undoubtedly “answer” to Rome/ the Vatican.

‘Christians Under the Influence of Another Spirit’ – Warren Smith Of ‘Reinventing Jesus’
From the Lighthouse has a posted an excerpt from Warren Smith’s free online book “Reinventing Christ.” This piece, analyzing the seducing spirits some so-called Christians are gladly running with, is called “Christians Under the Influence of Another Spirit“. Mr. Smith used to be wrapped up in the whole mystical New Age movement until the LORD our GOD opened his eyes and heart and brought him out of the darkness. Therefore, this is Mr. Warren’s “special cross” and the man is very good at highlighting the work of the lying spirits pulling many away from the Church (the Holy Bible says in the last days there will be a great falling away). Mr. Warren’s book was first written in 2002, I believe and last updated in 2006, according to book. Here is an excerpt from his free online book “Reinventing Christ:”
The apostle Paul went to great lengths to warn the Corinthians not to be deceived by a “Jesus” that wasn’t Jesus Christ the Son of God, a spirit that wasn’t the Holy Spirit and a gospel that was not the true biblical Gospel (2 Corinthians 11:42 Corinthians 11:4
English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
4 For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. with him: or, with me

English: King James Version (1611) - KJV
3 And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? 4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.

This teaching claims that we are in the midst of a great “transition” that will result in a “paradigm shift,” and that through “new revelation” and “personal experience” God is in the process of taking the church to a “new dimension” and to a whole “new level.” Many Christian leaders these days are so sure that what they are hearing and experiencing is from God, they are rarely testing the spirits, or even considering the possibility that they are being deceived.

A New, More Believable False Christ To Emerge After Christmas?
Have you always wondered how these cooks calling themselves messiahs manage to actually get people to follow them? — Because the knowledge of GOD is not in them. A very “popular” and much talked about false christ — who has apparently been around for decades — has an announcement published in the Wall Street Journal about his coming out party.
Remember, the Holy Scriptures make it clear that in the last days there will be a one-world government, faithful Christians will be persecuted (for refusing to conform to and compromise with the world) and wickedness will reign for a season — that men will be lovers of themselves (think that “little god” concept). There is going to be a false christ who envies and hates the LORD so much, he will make the world worship him. There will also be a false prophet, who will do signs and wonders — and they’ll be real, so real in fact that even the Elect are in danger of being fooled… if possible.

On ‘Oprah’s Gospel Influence’
It shouldn’t be news to many Christians that Oprah Winfrey has embraced another gospel (the one about worship of self)…but it’s news to me that her spokespeople still insist that she’s a Christian. And what’s more, these folks are using that recent PEW study (see the image at the very bottom on left of home page) to justify her still using the term ‘Christian’ to define her faith.
Here’s the part of the article that just got me:
A spokesman for Winfrey’s Harpo Productions said the celebrity is a Christian.
“Oprah was raised Baptist and has stated many, many times that she is a Christian and that she believes in only one God,” said the spokesman, who asked not to be named. “She has also said, ‘I’m a free-thinking Christian who believes in my way, but I don’t believe it’s the only way, with 6 billion people on the planet.’”
The spokesman noted Winfrey is hardly alone; 70% of Americans said “many religions can lead to eternal life” in a recent survey from the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. [...So that means those 70% of Americans aren't sorely mistaken and do not know our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ? --LaVrai]
Part of the evangelicals’ concern stems from Winfrey’s recent embrace of Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth as the first spiritual book she included in her hugely popular book club. In the July issue of O, The Oprah Magazine, she said the book’s advice on “putting the ego in check” had a “profound impact” on her.
“Spirit to me is the essence of who we are,” she said. “That essence doesn’t require any particular belief. It just is.” [But from where does 'spirit' come... doesn't that require some delving into? --LaVrai]
Charisma editor J. Lee Grady said Winfrey’s recent discussions of hypnotism on her show may have prompted more people to question her views.
He has long thought Winfrey did not embrace “an orthodox belief in Jesus Christ,” but he thinks other Christians may just be starting to draw that conclusion, sparked in part by what they learn about her on the Internet.
“There’s definitely an alarm because so many people watch her, that she could lead people into New Age belief or deception,” he said.
Religion writer Marcia Nelson, author of The Gospel According to Oprah, said criticism of Winfrey by conservative Christians dates to 1998 when she included a spiritual emphasis on her TV show.
“Back then she got pretty much lambasted the way she is being lambasted now, for telling us what to believe and telling us the wrong thing to believe in, according to conservative Christians,” said Nelson.
But Nelson, who studied a year of Winfrey’s shows, differs with those who call Winfrey’s spiritual ideas “New Age.” She says Winfrey would be more related to the “New Thought” movement, which is more mainstream, focusing on positive thinking as a spiritual tool rather than crystals, for example. [So same body, slightly altered clothes? -- LaVrai]
“I absolutely regard her as a Christian but … she’s one of those capacious Christians,” Nelson said. (Source)
End Times Alert: ‘New Age Department Of Peace Bill Introduced 1 Week After Inauguration’
From The Lighthouse has a new post up on the Department of Peace Bill H.R. 808 — far-reaching legislation that effectively would help to silence “narrow-minded” Christians who refuse to compromise with those of other faiths when it comes to Salvation in Jesus the Christ. There is no doubt that President Obama will sign this bill.Read More →
