Dear Sister in Christ,You may remember us from earlier this year.we were having a meeting.We are now in a situation with some clergy who we dont think like our stance about the Purpose Driven Programme.We have started a Ministry to speak out here in Australia against this "Phenominal Movement".It Just swallows up the Lords people every where.It is so seductive.We are also praying for doors of opportunity to speak to groups and indeed the Lords people every where.This town has a Spirit of murder over it ,if you are familiar with warfare prayer.But our God is bigger.Thankyou again for being there,and for your prayers Colin and Ngaire Booth.Gatekeeper Ministries.

 Dear Colin and Ngaire Booth,
Your email is quite shocking and we too are amazed how fast that movement is taking over the church. It is creeping through most denominations and Rick Warren has appeared on secular television shows to gobble up the gullible. He has hooked up with a New Ager. The following ministry seems to be exclusively focused on this issue. See http://www.lighthousetrails.com/

We have not addressed spiritual warfare in the past because Evangelist Wagner uses this teaching and he is not viable. We believe the whole world is under attack by evil spirits because we are rapidly moving now toward the final event, because few are truly walking the talk. They are simply doing lip service proving what God said about the final church.


Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

Ephesians 6:10-12 (kjv) "Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."


The Armour of God


1 Thessalonians 5:6-28 "Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake.
And be at peace among yourselves. Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
Abstain from all appearance of evil. And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. Brethren, pray for us. Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen." <<The first epistle to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.>>

 

OUR PRAYER FOR YOU:


Father, forgive us for every failure to live these days for You. Though you presented us with many opportunities to be Your servants and ambassadors, we missed the mark miserably and are responsible for allowing the devil so much leeway. We truly regret not mobilizing people into stopping the constant onslaught of evil and restrained it as You would have liked. Father we come begging today that You will support Colin and Ngaire Booth.Gatekeeper Ministries. in Australia to continue their vigilance in teaching people who are caught up in the lies to come out of this world system and be separate to be sanctified and be taught by the Holy Spirit as You directed in the Scriptures.

The Holy Spirit is the restrainer and with His help people can be enlightened with the truth. That is our defense according to Your Word Father.

Please help us stand in spite of the pressures coming from all directions which will increase just as labor pain increases. You said that You will cut the time short and we pray that this evil will be history soon. We pray for every believer who belongs to Christ Jesus will be reached with the truth so that Your prophecy will be fulfilled that not one will be lost because You said it in the Bible. We know that we must rely on Your Word and not become wobbly. Father you also stated that we will be made strong in our weakness. You can better work through us when we are weak. So please use our bodies to get the work done. Believing that Your Word is true from beginning to end we will be waiting on You and thank You for allowing Jesus Christ to offer His Body for our redemption. We pray in His name, Amen.

Great to hear from you, and may God stand by you in these perilous times,
In Him, Rita at Cephas Ministry
