Sherry Edwards Mackey Founder of New Beginning Christian Ministries International since February 1990. Authors “Catch Of the Day” a prophetic word in season revealing the heart and mind of God. The gospel must be preached and “published” throughout the whole world before the coming of the Lord. We believe we will witness the greatest out pouring of revival the world has ever seen, empowering many with Holy Ghost Fire causing the great end time harvest to be gathered in.

The Deceit of Religion

Religion is on the rise and we each need to understand there is true danger!

“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith The LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end,” Jeremiah 29:11 KJV.

Religion is on the rise and we each need to understand there is true danger!

Satan by using religion is bent on deceiving and sidetracking the church and the nations! We each must be settled within our own mind and heart that we are the children of God.

God knows our hearts. Pray and study God’s Word for wisdom and understanding of discerning of spirits.

“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: and if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us,” Romans 8:15-18 KJV.

Religious spirits are dangerous as these do not bow down and obey. Because of the free will involved, interacting with them, is difficult. It’s like dealing with multiple personalities of demonic and human.

The human part makes it difficult to remove the demonic, because the human part is enjoying the fellowship, and especially the power the demonic gives it and does not want it to leave.

Deliverance will not happen without the human will agreeing to it. I believe the religious spirit is the most dangerous, because Jesus spent most of his rebukes on the Pharisees and religious leaders.

Religious spirits oppress and persecute others, usually, it’s the true believers in the name of God. They criticize others almost constantly and recruit others to join them.

They are controlling, legalistic, and rigid in opinion. Very unforgiving about what they accuse you of doing wrong or done wrong in the past.

Their religious zeal, spirituality, and righteousness are not of God. They are self-righteous and depend on their works to keep their place in God and in keeping their religious pinnacles. They focus on perfection, not progress, and are proud and arrogant.

They believe that God has appointed them to fix you. They fix you by tearing you down, by destroying you, and criticizing everything they think is wrong with you.

They do not tolerate weakness, mistakes, or failures. The Bible says we are supposed to bear one another’s burdens.

They do not understand the work of God’s grace in someone’s life. They may have started out as spirit-filled, but they think they can perfect themselves by the flesh.

They will put religious curses on you or others by speaking and twisting God’s Word as a weapon against you.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. They have been around a long time throughout history, as the Pharisees were in Jesus’ time. These desire to be important, they desire power, to prove they are “anointed” of God.

They become false teachers and false prophets, etc. These are self-deceived, and corrupt, doing the religious dance for money, power, and fame or title, etc.

These do not understand the finished work of Christ’s righteousness and criticize others who are called of God, as fakes. They actually attack true teachers of the gospel, and true prophets and claim they are fakes when they are real.

The Prophet Jeremiah was persecuted by the religious leaders of his day and they claimed he was a false prophet, but he was real and spoke the truth.

Even though Israel was carried away captive to Babylon, God still sent Jeremiah along with them to speak.

Jeremiah prophesied that God wanted the captives of that nation to build houses, plant gardens, eat from them, take wives have children so they would increase and not diminished.

The Word of The LORD also told the captives of Babylon to seek the peace of the city and pray accordingly so they would have peace.

“Beware of the prophets and diviners lies that deceive you! Neither give heed to their dreams or visions! For religion shall prophesy falsely in My Name but I have not sent them,” says The LORD.

“Yes, even in captivity in Babylon I will visit you and I will perform My word towards you. I know the thoughts I have toward you, thoughts of peace and not evil to give you an expected end. You are My ambassadors beloved, represent Me,“ says The LORD.

“Even if seventy years are accomplished, I shall visit you and perform My Word causing you to return. You shall call upon me and pray and seek me and find me as you search for me with your whole heart!

I have raised up prophets even in Babylon. I sit on the Throne of David and all the people that dwell in that city and all brethren shall understand that I send the sword, the famine, and the pestilence and I will persecute them and deliver and gather what’s mine from all kingdoms of the earth.

Because many didn’t listen to my servants like the prophet Jeremiah, I will correct in measure. I will restore health and healing to you and shall have mercy! I will multiply and I shall be glorified ,” says The LORD.

Beware of the prophets of Religion!

Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees. Resist them, as God resists the proud and gives grace to the humble. Recognize them as those with convictions, zeal, but having a righteousness that is NOT of God.

Remember, they crucified Jesus! Imagine what they would do to you if given the chance.

We are living the last days and religious spirits are everywhere regardless of whatever the church is and whatever the size. They love numbers and love a crowd. The religious want authority and promote it before many.

“Behold the whirlwind of The LORD goes forth in fury, a continuing whirlwind shall come in fall with pain on the wicked.

I shall not return until I have performed the intent of My heart; in these latter days you shall consider it and know I AM The LORD.”

Please also, study Jeremiah 29-31.

A Little Further!

In this life there are serious times of trial and decision we all will face. We too must go a little further, alone, to seek God’s Face.

There comes a time when you go as far as you can go with man, as Jesus did when he faced hard trial and in desperation, he was driven ‘a little further,’ leaving behind His loyal friends as He had to face God Himself in His critical life decision.

In this life there are serious times of trial and decision we all will face. We too must go ‘a little further’, alone, to seek God’s Face.

We ask others to pray and we gratefully listen to their counsel. The majority of the time we get the answers we need and receive and are greatly blessed by their ministry.

But there comes a time when we cannot get closure; no matter what we do or how many friends we ask for help. We are greatly unsettled and are vexed, driven to seek God’s Face.

There are serious and critical times that are coming upon us when we must make a decision that affects not only us but others.

Understand this: It isn’t that we don’t benefit from our friends’ prayers and their loving care for us, contrarywise, but we each have limitations as part of the body of Christ and we can only go so far in helping or aiding people.

For example, as a medic on the battlefield finds us wounded and administers first aid in what areas afflicted, these first responders are crucial in helping wounded individuals find good medical attention, pointing them in the right direction.

Medics are limited and work within their expertise. It is these first responders who help prepare transport to other medical facilities which can work on the total restoration of the wounded souls.

A man helps, prays, counsels, encourages as pieces of a puzzle. Each one helps in their particular way giving the measure of light they carry to help along the way. However, there comes a time when WE must find the divine ourselves who has authored our life.

We cannot understand a book well unless we know the author. God has authored our lives and we are to be living epistles seen and read of all men.

A man may read us like pages, but God sees and knows the heart. God created the script and, in our nakedness, we trust for He sees the total picture of us; within and out.

In our wandering desperation to find answers, there are those who carry sustenance within. These are like refreshing pools, pouring cool water over our dry weary soul-refreshing our brow giving us the strength to move on in our quest again.

In our quest for crucial answers, frustrations do come from well-meaning believers and also not so well-meaning folks.

I do believe God uses Christians and sinners alike, to test our hearts and resolve. We must learn the lessons, in keeping a selective small circle of trusted friends/ counselors for intimate, private, personal matters which keep family and personal matters safe.

I believe this is wisdom and part of being in covenant with other believers. We must understand that not everyone has our best interests at heart…..

If we don’t learn about selective prayer partners, we will learn the hard way, as well-meaning and not so well-meaning people leave us exasperated and being pulled in all directions. When we are hearing confusing reports, it’s the time to pull away from everyone and seek The LORD.

Jesus had to do it, and there will be a time when we too must go ‘a little further’ to find that isolated spot to bear our wounded soul alone and seek that major life decision. We must hear from God alone, as no other voice suffices.

When we cannot find closure and our heart and soul are vexed, we must leave behind the well-meaning, even close friends and go ‘a little further’ totally naked before God for God knows everything and He holds our fragmented heart and soul. These serious and critical times will affect us and others based on our decisions.

Some of you feel defeated, drained, discouraged and if known, wish for death! Your reserves are running so low but you keep on going because you cannot separate your facts from fiction. It’s time to go ‘a little further’ and wait and seek God’s Face.

As we mature in The LORD, we learn compassion and we treat others with kindness and compassion. I have learned that sometimes it’s best to just pray and not say. Just nod, or let them know you are praying for them.

God works within us and uses our experiences to aid ministry to others, when our expertise runs out it is best to pray and not say.

In closing, remember, anything that doesn’t lift you up, give you peace, joy, heal you and set you free, reject it, it is from the father of lies.

“And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, sit ye here, while I shall pray. And he taketh with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; and saith unto them my soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? Couldest not thou watch one hour: Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The Spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak,” Mark 14:32-38 KJV.

The Walking Dead?

The LORD said many are like the walking dead. They think they are prepared for The Wedding Feast of The Lamb, but are twice dead inside.

Vision:

I saw a very old mummified body that appeared black and I have never heard of any black colored mummies.

However, I did some research and found out there were such black mummies. What was odd was the black mummy was standing with a white wedding garment on.

What was also very strange was the mummy had a wedding veil of white on its head for a wedding. White for purity? White as a virgin? A veil to unveil?

For thus says The LORD, “These deceivers are all among you and instead of the pure virgins the foolish ones have attempted to look and pretend to play the part by putting on the garb, yet they are mummified and are twice dead inside.

They think they are preserved forever and have no fear of God in them, and refuse to repent and get oil to light their way and they are not able to enter in at the door.

Thus, I say today, that there are many like the foolish virgins, but in actuality they are preserved like black mummies, long time dead, yet they live as spots in the presence of your love, they feed themselves without the fear of God in their eyes.

These are carried on with winds, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots. They rage and wander on in their own shame, blackness, and outer darkness are theirs forevermore.

These imposters carry death within them a preserving work of hell, and you must realize these have the agenda to take you out along with them.

As you begin to pray for deeper discernment, I shall begin to show you their heart condition.

Guard your heart and give them no place in your life keep them from your inner circle. These are dedicated in preserving what is spiritually dead, as they have no Zoe life within them.”

“But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single; thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil; thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! No man can serve two masters: for either he will the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon,” Matthew 6:20-24 KJV.

For thus says The LORD God, that “Many are like the walking dead. They think they are prepared for The Wedding Feast of The Lamb, when they are actually twice dead inside, black as a black hole within plucked up by the roots, to whom is reserved darkness forever.

Be wise and be aware that there are many who do not care for your soul. Be prepared beloved and walk with ME, for your death to this life is swallowed up in ultimate victory in this life and the life to come!” says your God!

“and shall receive the reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceiving’s while they feast with you; Having eyes full of adultery, and that cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls: a heart they have exercised with covetous practices; cursed children: Which have forsaken the right way, and are gone astray, following the way of Balaam the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of unrighteousness,” 2 Peter 2:13-14 KJV.

“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,” 1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV.

“but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming,” Matthew 25:4-13.

“These are spots in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots; raging waves of the sea, foaming up their own shame; wandering stars for whom is reserved the blackness of darkness forever,” Jude 1:12-13.

America, Whose Perspective Do We Have?

All television and news programming aside, what has God said to you personally about the 2020 USA Election and how to vote?

All television and news programming aside, what has God said to you personally about the 2020 USA Election and how to vote?

We each have opinions — but whose perspective is in alignment with God’s agenda? How do we base it?

It’s time to pull away from the television and sacrifice some meals a day from the dining room table, to seek the heart and mind of The LORD concerning your election and your vote!

Your life matters!

What we face in this most historic 2020 Election will depend on the outcome on November 3, that could possibly tip the scale towards the slippery slope of socialism, if the believers don’t pray and vote.

Satan wants us to be ignorant but we are not to be ignorant concerning his devices (2 Corinthians 2:11 KJV), “lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices.”

The visions many of us have had concerning President Trump and all the conservative public servant voices, must be contended for in fasting and prayer and in the Ballot Box, as we continue to pray against a socialistic or communistic government.

We must educate ourselves on what socialism and communism looked like in past history, in these types of governments.

One must know how socialism is the stepping stone to communism, and happened historically. Socialism in the application has been a VERY different political and economic system throughout history.

We must open our eyes to the greater picture of what is happening and what could be so very dangerous for The Church in America.

For this nation to be great again, we must see beyond our pocketbooks and our selfish agendas, instead, seeking God’s way of Perspective.

Today, communistic lands are found in China, Vietnam, Cuba, Laos, and North Korea — all of these claiming to be building and working towards socialism.

In their governmental role is found state-run, sanctioned and registered, places of worship. China for instance, has long been criticized for problems with human rights and religious freedoms.

I have a friend in Hong Kong to this day who still has to smuggle Bibles into China and risks each time he goes, to be arrested and detained in prison or killed.

If we don’t learn from our history lessons, we are deemed to repeat it. Those who vote according to their pocketbook, are destined to be slaves to it.

We Christians must vote first for God’s Will and His Government.

Yes, there must be a revival in America and The Church. However, the nation that was founded as a Christian nation with religious freedom, must continue to be fought for!

Historically, revival is close in hand with turbulent and troubled times. This 2020 event could be the greatest time in the history of awakening The Church, bringing her back to her first love as a nation.

But it begins with each of us and It will be decided with our votes on November 3rd.

A nation that forgets God, God forgets. I am speaking of American Christians today. Are “WE” praying and going to vote our pocketbooks or God’s laws and provisions?

Do we cry out for revival, that would meet the greatest need to win souls and in basic human rights? What of the rights of the unborn?

We may not be sacrificing our children to Moloch literally, but are we sacrificing them on our many altars of ease, complacency, and the altar of our own pocketbook?

“But ye have borne the tabernacle of your Moloch and Chiun your images, the star of your god, which ye made to yourselves,” Amos 5:26 KJV.

“They angered him also at the waters of strife so that it went ill with Moses for their sakes: Because they provoked his spirit, so that he spake unadvisedly with his lips. They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom The LORD commanded them: But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works. And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils, and shed innocent blood, even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan: and the land was polluted with blood. Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. Therefore was the wrath of The LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. And he gave them into the hand of the heathen: and they that hated them ruled over them. Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.” Psalm 106:32-42 KJV.

What candidates are standing for this Christian nation, God’s law, and mind which is his word?

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even forever. The zeal of The LORD of hosts will perform this,” Isaiah 9:6-7 KJV.

The United States of America is still the best nation in the world, but I am afraid that our conscience concerning our God-given rights and his laws are being stripped away as a Christian-based nation.

For those who don’t know each Representative in your state to vote for, we must seek out those who represent GOD’S views and what we stand for as Christians. These represent your voice to our nation.

A Representative is a chosen person appointed to speak for YOU and to act and speak on behalf of the wider group.

I had a vision of the three monkeys that see no evil, speak no evil, or hear no evil. I immediately knew to find the meaning online.

“Discovery of lost and Ancient Wisdom”

“We are taught by the Elite (i.e., the mass media and their corporate sponsors) that it stands for feigning ignorance to the misconduct of others rather than exposing their misconduct. But what exactly does this mean?

Let’s take the first phrase: “See no evil.” It means just what it says: “See no evil,” or don’t look upon anything that is evil. Don’t look at evil, don’t watch or gawk at evil, don’t crave evil, don’t let evil enter into your system, not even for a moment.

Why not?

Ever drink old milk? Eat rotten meat? Bad cheese? When you swallow it, you digest it. And when you digest it you get sick from it. Your body absorbs it, and when your body realizes it’s no good your body needs to release it quickly, in some way.

It’s the same with evil. When we see evil, we digest it, and when we digest it the evil becomes a part of us. We then need to release it in some way, which often has a negative result.

For many, this idea that “seeing” evil is equivalent to “digesting” evil may sound like rubbish. But there is a powerful and profound principle at work here. To use a simple comparison, it’s a proven fact that seeing violence in the media (i.e., TV, movies, video games) makes us think and act more violently:
When we watch the News we’re seeing and hearing evil all the time. We’re bombarded by it. How does it make you feel? Sad, scared, nervous, angry, depressed, and so on. Right? Now, what if you found out that this Evil is being aimed at you… on purpose? The Elite are indeed doing this on purpose. Their goal is to destabilize society and prevent us from being empowered. At the same time, they are hiding the ancient wisdom of “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil,” effectively robbing us of the main tool / teaching we need to defend ourselves.

Like many a great wisdom, the ancient teaching warning us to “See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil” has been subtly turned upside-down, and is now being used as a weapon against us. The maxim has been spun into a tool of perversion, a control mechanism mastered by the puppeteers that blocks light, halts spiritual growth, and impedes the gentle and gradual revelation of ever-higher spiritual truths, wisdom, and realization.” ”
