WAS BISHOP TONY PALMER MURDERED DUE TO HIS DESIRE TO SEE BORN AGAIN CATHOLICS?

A Supposition by Helena Lehman

Click on Image to Enlarge
In January of 2014, the married Episcopal Bishop Tony Palmer gave a speech to a group of Church leaders at Kenneth Copeland's Eagle Mountain International Church near Fort Worth, Texas, where a recorded message from Pope Francis was also aired. Before discussing the gist of his message, let me fill you in on who Tony Palmer was before his untimely death on July 20th, 2014.

Bishop Palmer was an ordained bishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches, a break-away alliance of charismatic Anglican-Episcopal churches. Bishop Palmer was also the Director of The Ark Community, an international interdenominational Convergent Church online community. Finally, and most importantly, Palmer was also a member of the Roman Catholic Ecumenical Delegation for Christian Unity and Reconciliation. In other words, Palmer officially supported the Catholic Church's Ecumenical Movement, which has a sinister, satanic motive behind it that is NOT of God.

Tony's speech at Kenneth Copeland's Eagle Mountain Church was recorded and posted at You Tube here:

Pope Francis Sends Video Message to 
Kenneth Copeland - Lets Unite 

This speech was loaded with information about what Tony Palmer foresees as the future of the Church, with Roman Catholics and Protestants united as one body under the Pope. During his talk, Tony made it clear that he is very much aware and appreciative of the power of the Holy Spirit in the redemption of believers, which is what the Charismatic movement in the Catholic and old-school Protestant Churches sought to teach as an essential ingredient of our faith in Christ that has often been sorely missing over the millennia.

However, Tony also made it clear that he feels doctrinal differences aren't important as long as believers are born again, acknowledging the Spirit of God in each other as we are allowed to express our love for God in different ways. Therefore, his argument for unity is based on the idea of being united by the power of the Holy Spirit in those who are born again.

The trouble with this argument is that our Father God is not a God of confusion. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. So the idea that the Holy Spirit would choose to lead untold thousands of denominations in often diametrically opposing paths makes no sense. So the problem with this march toward unity is that not everyone agrees on what constitutes being born again. Some denominations think that believing that Jesus or Yahshua died for our sins and offers us forgiveness under Grace is all that is needed to procure the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit.

But they fail to realize that - when we are born again by the indwelling Holy Spirit, which marks us as redeemed by the Blood of Yahshua - we are transformed within at that moment, and we suddenly have acute spiritual discernment that allows us to sense when we are sinning and when we are pleasing God, even without a working knowledge of the written Word of God in the Bible. When we are born again, it's as if we know the Law even though we don't because the Spirit of God reminds us what God's Word says when we need to know it in order to live righteously and flee from sin!

This sort of inner knowledge is impossible, however, until we SURRENDER our lives to Yahshua and ask Him to help us change, and to be more like Him in our ability to love ourselves and others. We cannot go on sinning as we did prior to our conversion if we ever hope to be born again! In fact, if our repentance is genuine, our desire to change will overwhelm our natural propensity to sin so that we can be born again. So unless we truly repent, wish to change from our wicked ways, and seek God's forgiveness and mercy through Christ, we will never be born again, and we will face judgment!

This is why all moves to unite the many Protestant Churches with the Vatican are doomed to failure. Their definitions or DOCTRINES are different because of the failure of the Catholic Church and many Protestant Churches to understand the true nature of salvation, and how it can only be achieved via our belief in and COMPLETE surrender of our lives and talents and finances to Christ before we can receive the gift of His indwelling Spirit.

That is why God was NOT happy when, on June 24th, 2014, a private luncheon was held at the Vatican in Rome for a delegation of US Evangelical Leaders to meet with Pope Francis to discuss uniting the Catholic and Protestant Churches. This meeting was organized by the Bishop Tony Palmer, whose desire for unity led him to become an outspoken proponent of its supposed virtues. Here is a news article about it:

TRUNEWS Exclusive: Pope Francis 
Meets Evangelical Delegation

Now, beyond this move toward Ecumenism that is satanically inspired and will lead to the formation of the One World Religion of the Whore of Babylon, or the Vatican, I want to point something out that many may have missed concerning Tony Palmer's interest in it. When Tony Palmer spoke to Kenneth Copeland's congregation, I noted that he clearly said that he wanted to merge these opposing churches together so that the Catholics would COME TO FAITH. Personally, I think Tony Palmer was taken out of the picture when the Pope and the Vatican realized what Tony meant by this. In other words, Tony Palmer may not have died in a motorcycle accident on July 20th, 2014, but may have been secretly murdered by the Jesuits on orders from Pope Francis.

In support of this assumption, Tony said in his January 2014 speech that his Italian wife - who is an ex Catholic - eventually wanted to help him in his ecumenical efforts because Tony's goal was to get the Catholics to learn what it means to be born again. Although this is a laudable goal, I think this wish is what signed Tony's death warrant. Tony's mistake is that he thought Pope Francis wanted the same thing. But that is absolutely NOT the case.

As a Jesuit, Pope Francis wants the Roman Catholic Church to be the SOLE authority on all matters of Christian doctrine and practice, and that includes enforcing the Jesuit mandate to keep the Papacy and his outwardly "celibate" but inwardly whorish clergy in power. Pope Francis may pretend that he is Charismatic, but he inwardly hates the Holy Spirit, and wants the Catholics to remain unsaved and loyal to the Church, or he would be out of a job!

As a Jesuit, what Pope Francis wants is for all the other Christian Churches to be under his control so that he can systematically destroy the true faith in Christ that leads to salvation! Though outwardly pious and seemingly humble, Pope Francis is a Luciferian at heart and an Imperialist that wants the Vatican in Rome to remain supreme in its rebellion against Christ and His Kingdom. Never doubt that!

So this is what I think happened to Tony Palmer. I think he was murdered by the Jesuits, and has become the Vatican's latest victim because he was an unwitting opponent of achieving that goal. As a result, he had to be silenced, and so he has become a martyr toward the goal of a unity of faiths that will have the opposite affect that he wanted it to have.

Sadly, instead of saving many Catholics as Tony dreamed to do, his efforts will imperil the salvation of millions of new disciples coming to the faith who will suddenly find true Christian doctrine nearly impossible to find. It will then be as the Prophet Amos foretold:

~*~ Amos 8:11 ~*~
“Behold, the days are coming,” says Yahweh Elohim,
“That I will send a famine on the land,
Not a famine of bread, Nor a thirst for water,
But of hearing the words of Yahweh.”

The dreaded days of spiritual famine that the Prophet Amos foresaw are rapidly approaching, and will be in full force after the Rapture, which will be very soon! So NOW is the time to repent and to surrender your Life to Yahshua so that you can become truly born again. Leave your life of sin behind, cling to the Cross and Blood of Christ, be baptized with water and the Spirit, and move forward into a new life dedicated to serving God with the remaining time you have left on this Earth.

As we await the Rapture, may you all be blessed in your service to God through Yahshua! In the meantime, as an Ex-Catholic, I can tell you much more about the Roman Catholic Church and its heretical practices that mock and deny the true doctrines surrounding biblical Christianity as practiced by the first apostles and disciples in the Church. A good, detailed book in print on the subject is Dave Hunt's "A Woman Rides The Beast"which is available at Amazon.com, as well as my own book at Amazon: "The Language of God in Humanity", which does much to demolish the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. My book can be purchased at my Ministry web site, and you can learn more about it using the link below:

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE CAST OUR PEARLS BEFORE SWINE


Do you know what the Scripture shown in the above photo truly means? If you're not sure, let me give you an education about the meaning of Matthew Chapter 7, verse 6 from painful personal experience as a born-again believer, scholar, author and preacher.

Over the years, I have learned what it truly means to be a believer in Christ, and I know that believers are primarily called to live sanctified lives while praying and educating their children, friends and families about God's Plan of Salvation, and His Commandments to live by. I also know that if you're not doing this out of fear or lack of concern, then you've been ignoring God's Will in your life!

Sadly, however, it is a very hard thing to do God's Will, and most of us fail miserably at it because we don't have the education and spiritual support we need from the Church, which has been infiltrated by devils in disguise preaching lies and half-truths. Most of us also don't have it in our circle of family and friends, most of whom don't know the first thing about spiritual warfare. That is why the world has become so wicked today, and this is also why that wickedness is increasing!

Instead of passing laws or signing petitions to protect dogs, unborn babies and children from abuse, we should be praying for God to reach the lost while educating all the people we know about the reality of God and His great love for them, and the terrible price we will have to pay one day if we ignore Him and His love. In fact, we need to do this before preaching about the sacredness of all life and how all life should be treated with love and respect, or it won't get through.

The fact is that people who don't love God don't care about doing good. All they care about is what's good for satiating their lusts and filling their pocketbooks. This is what is behind the total deterioration in society's values. Sexual aberrations and promiscuity, worldly and carnal pleasure, and violence and bloodshed as a form of entertainment are being touted by most movies, video games, television programming, and music bands, and it is a sign that believers aren't getting anywhere with God's message of love and reconciliation!

Preaching to our youth isn't easy today either. The majority of younger children and teens today are openly rebellious and distracted with violent video games, and violent and sexually explicit books and movies. Due to these godless sorts of distractions which they loved more than me or God, even my own daughter and ex-husband turned on me - despite years of loving them, caring for them, and teaching them the truth - and my current husband isn't much better! I got duped into thinking he actually had faith in God. What a joke!

He may believe in God, but he has zero faith and accountability, and the really sad part is that - despite the fact that he won't pray with me or study God's Word - he truly thinks that he is saved and that he's basically a "good" person that is going to Heaven when he dies. In fact, he won't even listen to me anymore. He has completely shut me out in that regard, and whenever I try to breach the subject and mention God in our conversations, he lashes out at me.

I've also seen this same attitude in most of the people I know, whether they go to Church or not, and this is why I also know that the world is becoming more wicked by the day! Very few want to make the daily admission that they're sinful degenerates that need Yahshua desperately to find salvation, forgiveness, regeneration and freedom from sin. This is especially true in the majority of Churches, where the Laodicean style, Health and Wealth Gospel is primarily being preached, and the reality of sin, death, Hell and the Devil are being ignored.

For this reason, I know that not even a hundred-thousand saints like Noah preaching to the wicked in this world will stop the tide of evil spreading everywhere like a virus right now. The Devil is going to have his day whether we preach and sign petitions or not, and it's our job to remain faithful to Christ, draw near to the saved, and stay separate from the wicked, despite the wickedness around us that we can't stop.

We are called to serve God and follow Him before we can love and teach others, and we can't love and teach anyone who doesn't want to know God. Without that hunger to know Him, it's wasted effort! I know from 30 years of preaching to those who don't give a damn about God, and who delight in abusing me to show how much they hate my God and my message!

I live in that hell daily, yet I focus on God to get me through it. So don't preach to me about saving boiled dogs or unborn babies, because I know it won't do much good! The damned will still be damned, and they'll still sin and tear us apart if we get too close and try to stop them, as I have learned the hard way!

My personal problems aside, our job as believers is to love God and love our family, friends and neighbors by teaching them about God and showing them how to love one another by preaching the Gospel. If we aren't doing that effectively, then nothing else matters.

You can't put a band-aid on a gaping wound and expect it to heal. The trouble is that we aren't doing enough to prevent the wound in the first place because the reality of God and the Devil, spiritual warfare, demonic control, our ability to find salvation from sin, being able to break demonic strongholds through Yahshua, and the importance of living a sanctified life free from sin are no longer being preached.

We all need to openly repent and confess our past sins to our friends and families and tell them how we have found love, peace, forgiveness and the ability to find freedom from sin in knowing and loving Christ.

Those of us who are saved need to preach salvation and godly living at home to our family, friends and children from the beginning! We can't wait until they start going astray to start preaching, because by then it's usually too late!

In short, I feel that the kids and adults that are already mesmerized by a totally godless culture and society are basically beyond our reach. They don't believe in the one true God, and won't listen no matter how hard we preach. Because of this, it will take an act of God to get any of them saved because they are spiritually deaf, blind and dumb by the demonic forces working tirelessly to enslave them.

Believe me, I know of what I speak! Years ago, as I sat in my own living room at a party I was hostessing, I tried to preach to one of my ex-husband's New Age friends about the gift of salvation in Christ, and I watched something horrifying happen as I did!

The moment I started to preach the salvation message, that man literally shut down! He closed his eyes and became motionless, as if he were frozen in stone until I finished preaching! But after I had said what God had directed me to say, this lost man's eyes opened and he started engaging in the conversation, acting as if he had been unaware of how he had just shut down for a quarter of an hour and not heard a word of what I had said!

I also see it in my own family daily when I start preaching something they don't want to hear and they start talking over me to shut my voice out of their heads or tell me to shut up when I start getting through! This happens constantly, even though I am constantly on my knees begging Yahweh God to unstop their ears and melt their icy hearts! So trust me when I say that preaching to those who choose to be damned despite our best efforts doesn't work!

Again, you have to understand that you can't love and teach anyone who doesn't want to know God. Without that hunger to know Him, it's wasted effort! So do not cast your pearls before swine, and learn which battles are worth fighting before you get chewed to bits by a world hell-bent against the God you preach! Be gentle as doves and wise as serpents, and wait for God to lead you to people that will be open to the messages that you preach.

This is what Yahshua meant when He told us not to cast our spiritual pearls before swine! We need to wait for the lost to come to us for help before we offer it. If we do, things will go better for us while we wait for Yahshua's return, and we won't get beaten up so badly. Trust one who knows what it's like being a spiritual punching bag for every lost soul around her - NAMELY, ME!

Also trust me when I say that the signs are all around us that Yahshua is coming very, very soon! The apocalyptic Earth changes, the animal, bird, fish and insect die-offs, the fearsome new diseases, the insane weather that has led to massive storms, floods and droughts, the constant fireballs and other Signs in the Heavens, the watered-down messages or outright heresies being preached by most in the Church, and the huge increase in worldwide wickedness should be making that fact crystal clear!

These are all signs that the end is nearly upon us, and that this world is passing away! So why try to save it? Instead, do your best to insulate yourself from abuse and stay safe as you keep your eyes on Yahshua and on the prize that awaits you for staying faithful to Him!

PS: When I said "Why try to save it?" I was referring to the fact that this world is passing away, and the fact that almost all life will be destroyed during the Great Tribulation. This is why Yahshua told us not to fight, but to live in peace, and to love everyone into His kingdom. Without the assurance of entering the Kingdom of God through Christ, all unsaved people risk annihilation and damnation.

Maranatha!

DO YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO BE BORN AGAIN?


The title of this article is a question that I often find myself asking difficult, legalistic people in conversations on my timeline and privately at Facebook, or in E-Mails. I also often see the need to mention that I am born again to these people when clarifying where my spiritual perceptions and authoritative way of teaching originate.

Because I am born again, the Holy Spirit is living in me, and I now can converse with our Father God personally and directly, with no need of a mediator or translator. I am free to go directly to our Father Yahweh in Heaven through Yahshua without fear, and He speaks directly to me. I don't need dreams or visions anymore, though I did initially, and they do still help me to understand God sometimes when His spoken and written words aren't getting through to me completely.

But because I have a direct line to God and can literally hear Him speaking to me at times and showing me things that are to come, and these spoken words fully agree with Scripture, I have confidence that what I am sharing with you and others is true, in so far as I understand it. We all see in a glass darkly, so there are things about God and His Will that we will never understand fully until we are given our immortal bodies. But because I know my Father God and He knows me, I can speak boldly and without fear and go before the Throne of Grace whenever I have need of guidance, comfort or instruction.

In fact, as an evidence of God's direct intervention in my thoughts, I can testify that, contrary to popular belief, I am not that well-versed in Scripture at all, and I truly rely on the Holy Spirit to give me the perfect verses to quote and the meaning of the words when I want to lead and to teach others. So I am honestly not writing articles alone, but with God's direct help through His Spirit writing through me. That may sound strange or arrogant to someone who has not experienced it, but I can assure you that it is the way all of our relationships with God should be!

The real tragedy of this whole debate about the place of Grace in the Law of God is that all the Judaizers and Legalists that love attacking people like me don't have any clue what it means to have a real relationship with Yahshua that isn't dictated to them like a script through the Law! They are NOT real friends with God like Enoch and Abraham were, but strangers looking in through a looking glass blurred with the fog of their misunderstanding and lack of spiritual maturity.

I am not sinning for defending my right and the right of all Messianic Jews and Gentiles to celebrate their faith in Yahweh God under the NEW Covenant of Grace without being enslaved to the old Law, which was a curse because it accuses us of our sins, and which was done away with it as a means of condemnation on the Cross when Yahshua paid the price for those sins.

Do not let the Hebraic Roots Proponents and other Legalists and Saturday Sabbath advocates condemn you if you are like me and all the other Messianic Jews and Christians out there who have fully embraced the concept of Grace and the Power of the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside out without having to keep every outmoded Law of Moses that pointed ahead to Yahshua.

While we are changing from day to day and glory to glory into the Image of Yahshua, they are holding fast to the old Law that keeps them from experiencing the baptism of the Holy Spirit, Who seals our salvation and gives us a true and living relationship with Yahweh God and His Son and our Messiah that the Judaizers profess to worship, but do not truly know!

Without the Holy Spirit that was given on Shavuot directing your path INSTEAD of the Law, you are dead in your sins, and you are NOT saved! That is why there is a schism between Jews and saved Gentiles or grafted-in Israelites that will not be breached until Yahshua returns to settle the matter once and for all time.

NEVER FORGET THIS! - Yahshua is the WORD OF GOD or TORAH made Flesh! He who died on the cross for our sins nailed the curse of the Law onto the cross and it died with Him along with our sins which the Law cursed us for! And when God Incarnate rose from the dead, He made a new Law to be written on the hearts of all those who truly love Him and what He did for them, a Law written by the power of the Holy Spirit with love and mercy and kindness as its foundation rather than blind obedience.

You CANNOT speak of God's Law without mentioning that Yahshua is the Law and that He fulfilled it for us. You CANNOT speak of obedience without speaking of the New Covenant sealed by the Holy Spirit that gives us the power to be obedient. To be fixated on the old Law is death to the hearer without Yahshua there to show the Way with His Father's love, mercy, kindness and charity! Only Yahshua's Word brings LIFE! The Law only brings death and curses to everyone! Without Christ there to be our Mediator and Redeemer when we inevitably fail to keep the Law, we would all be doomed to HELL.

Praise Yahweh God for Yahshua and His Spirit, Who writes the new Law on our hearts and saves us when we fail to keep it perfectly! Amen and Hallelu-Yah! Thank You Yahshua for your saving GRACE!!!

Sadly, the main reason for these debates between legalistic, Torah-observant believers and born-again believers in Yahshua is that, though we all need to be born-again by the Spirit of God after we repent of all sin and believe in Yahshua, most believers don't have a clue what being born-again really means! They don't know how to surrender their lives to God and ask Him to fill them up with His Spirit and His light. They don't know the subsequent joy when this happens, and the comfort that comes with being able to converse directly with God, or what it really is or should be like, and that's the worst tragedy of all!

Please, fellow believers, if you do NOT hear God speaking to you in some tangible way at least once in a while, and God seems distant and unreachable to you except through outmoded rituals and traditions, realize that this is NOT the way a genuine, Spirit-filled walk with God is supposed to be like! Once you realize this, get down on your knees and beg God to fill you with His Spirit so that you can and will hear and follow Him and only Him!

Furthermore, if you do not feel God's Spirit within giving you true peace and joy in being saved even after asking God to fill you, it may be due to some unconfessed sin in your life. This can prevent you from experiencing a true relationship with Yahweh God.

If you think this may apply to you, then you need to REPENT openly and ask God to help you stop sinning. Then you need to pray against ALL demonic strongholds that are keeping God's Spirit from filling you! Repent of all known sin and ask God for forgiveness!

Then ask God the Father to fill you with His Spirit again and again in fervent prayer until He makes it known to you that He heard you! You will know that He did when you begin to experience visions, dreams and direct words of knowledge from Him that never contradict Scripture. You will also begin to feel God filling you with faith and purpose, and you will feel Him opening your spiritual eyes so that you can know God more intimately than you ever have before.

Do not shy away from this, my beloved brethren, but learn to embrace the true love and knowledge and Spirit of God in Christ, and you will never want to be without it or Him again!

Remember that the Holy Spirit is the SEAL of our salvation. This means that we need to see signs of the Holy Spirit's presence to gauge whether or not someone is saved. Is this person transformed by the renewing of their mind? Have they given up bad habits, lusts and addictions? Are they more loving and less likely to anger? These are all signs that someone has taken the first steps in knowing Christ, and that they are truly saved. But if their salvation remains at that level, and does not move into the realm of the miraculous and mystical, they will not be experiencing all the benefits of true fellowship with Christ.

The trouble is that many believers do not understand the action of the Holy Spirit in our salvation or in our instruction by God, and many calls to live a godly life today are therefore totally legalistic. Since they focus on the letter of the Law and not the Spirit of the Law, they leave out any mention of the Holy Spirit.
