THE SOUL REFUGE PODCAST

This is a message from 2020. If you have never listened to it, I encourage you to listen to it. If you have already listened to it. Listen to it again! Have you ever wondered how the church of Rome can preach a counterfeit gospel for so long with such little resistance? That is what the “mystery of iniquity” is all about. It is a mystery to many, but it is not a “mystery” to Almighty God. In fact the scriptures tell us that GOD is the one who sends the “strong delusion” that people should believe a LIE. Why would Almighty God do that? The words “strong delusion” are translated from the Greek words energeia (strong) and plane (delusion). The Greek word energeia is where we get the word energy from, and it means “a strong effectual working.” The Greek word “plane” means fraudulence, to deceive, delusion, or error. So in plain and simple english it means a strong effectual working of delusion, error or fraudulence. The scriptures tell us that GOD is the one who sends this strong effectual working of fraudulence, and the scriptures also give us the reason that God does it. It is so that people will believe a LIE, because they did not have a LOVE of the TRUTH! Plain and simple it is a judgment sent from God Almighty upon all people who do not desire the TRUTH which is found in him alone. God simply allows the rebellious to eat the FRUIT of their own ways! “Therefore shall they EAT of the fruit of THEIR OWN WAY, and be filled with their own devices.” Proverbs 1:31

Jesus Christ spoke metaphorically when he said that HE was the TRUE vine. Jesus also said that WE (the believers) were the branches. The Lord was simply showing us that the spiritual LIFE that we need is found in HIM! He was talking about the Spirit of God within us. Every person who has been truly born again of The Spirit is part of the TRUE vine which is Jesus Christ Himself![BIBLE STUDY 21

We are certainly living in perilous times ladies and gentlemen. Pope Francis has made deep inroads into the modern day church and he follows in the footsteps of other Popes such as Pope John Paul II. Pope Francis is talking the same "We are brothers" lingo as Pope John Paul when he spoke those words to the famous evangelist Billy Graham! Do not be fooled and do not let your guard down any further than you already have!

Jesus Christ did not mince words whenever he spoke to the people. In this chapter Jesus made it clear that HE was the only way to the Father's House, and we know that He was talking about Heaven! John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

It is simply mind-boggling that the Church of Rome teaches that they have the power to change the bread and wine on their Catholic altars into Jesus Christ HIMSELF! You may find that hard to believe BUT that is exactly what they teach, and if YOU do not believe that lie, then you are under one of their over 100 anathemas (curses) instituted at the Council of Trent. Those curses were UPHELD by the RCC Second Vatican Council of 1964-65! In other words they are still in effect. It is even MORE amazing that the modern day "Christian" leaders and "famous" Christian preachers now work hand-in-hand with the same church that martyred multitudes for standing against that false teaching! They UNIFY with a religious system that curses the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ!

As a former Roman Catholic I know what it was like to be in BONDAGE to a counterfeit religious system which is led by a man who claims to be the "Holy Father." Once again I can testify by the Spirit of the living God, that it was the TRUTH of God's Word that set me FREE! He will set you FREE also if in fact you are still a Roman Catholic! Hallelujah!

One of the greatest deceptions in the world is the Catholic teaching of that make-believe place called Purgatory! As a former Roman Catholic I would make a donation (pay for) a Catholic Mass card so that a Catholic priest might offer up the "sacrifice of the Mass" for a DEAD friend or relative who might be in Purgatory! Did you know that they still pray for former Popes whom they believe might still be in Purgatory? Here is the TRUTH about all of this stuff. There is NO Purgatory! When a person dies they either end up in Heaven or they end up in Hell!

Here is a short video regarding the Roman Catholic people and their prayers to Mother Mary. I prayed thousands of "Hail Mary's" for many years UNTIL the Lord Jesus Christ set me FREE from the bondage of the Roman Catholic Church!

I was baptized as an infant shortly after I was born into this world but I did not become a child of God until I was truly born again of the Spirit in 1989! The Roman Catholic teaching that an infant is "born again" and becomes a "child of God" when they are baptized by a Catholic priest is a FALSE teaching! In fact if you get baptized as an adult that does NOT save you either! I was SAVED before I went down into the Baptismal pool and I gave my testimony before my full immersion in water. I thank God for his mercy toward me! John 3:6-8 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. [7] Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. [8] The wind bloweth where it listeth [wishes], and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.

The Church of Rome which is better known as the Roman Catholic Church is a church that is filled with idolatry. You should not be surprised that they REMOVED the real Second Commandment (Exodus 20:4-6) from their Catechism and replaced it with the Third Commandment, which dealt with using the Lord's Name in vain. So how did they make up for that missing Commandment? They took the Tenth Commandment which dealt with covetousness (Exodus 20:17) and chopped it in half to make the 9th and 10th Commandments. Do not be FOOLED by that religious system who still makes the claim that THEY are the only TRUE church!

Here is a short video regarding the counterfeit teaching of the Roman Catholic Mass. I attended tons of Catholic Masses for years, and I was an altar boy as a young man also. I had no idea that I was lost and on my way to HELL until the Lord Jesus Christ rescued me from that false religious system!

What would you do if you were attending a modern day Ecumenical meeting along with the Roman Catholics and the Priest who was speaking told you to open up to the book of Tobit? What if the priest told you to open up to the book of Baruch or Judith or Susanna? What? Well all of those books are found inside the Roman Catholic Bible in a section known as the Apocrypha. The Second Book of Maccabees was a book from the Apocrypha used to defend the Catholic teaching of Purgatory! Do not be FOOLED my dear brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ! The call for UNITY with the Church of Rome was birthed from the lowest part of Hell! Stick with the scriptures which are found in the 66 books of the Bible, preferably the KJV!

Many people do not realize that Jesus Christ HIMSELF was the ULTIMATE Passover sacrificial "Lamb of God," and it was no coincidence that Christ was slain at the time of the Passover feast! The Jewish people would inspect the lambs so that they might be UNBLEMISHED. Jesus Christ was also inspected but the authorities including the Jewish High Priest could NOT find fault in him. Why? Because Jesus was the UNBLEMISHED "Lamb of God" whom Judas betrayed for 30 pieces of silver!

When a person decides to study the Word of God (the Scriptures) they will find many precious nuggets of spiritual GOLD! There are tons of prophecies in the Old Testament that were FULFILLED in the very person of Jesus Christ! One of those prophecies from the book of Isaiah can be found in chapter six (Isaiah 6:1-13) where the prophet Isaiah saw the Lord sitting on the throne! He saw the Holiness of Almighty God, and we find that prophecy FULFILLED in the New Testament book of John chapter 12:41. Be blessed my friends!

In this chapter we learn about the AWESOME miracle that Jesus performed when he raised Lazarus from the dead. Lazarus was dead for four days before Jesus raised that man from the dead. The religious Jewish leaders did not know what to do at that point in time, so they called a Council. The Jewish High Priest along with the other religious leaders counseled together at that point in time to put Jesus Christ to death!

In this study Jesus Christ makes it abundantly CLEAR that HE is the Door of Salvation and there is none other. He also makes it clear that HE is the GOOD shepherd who would give HIS life for the sheep! There is only ONE good shepherd who gave his life for the sheep, and we know that it is Jesus Christ himself!

During the time of the Protestant Reformation there were many Christians who were persecuted, tortured and put to death for standing against the teachings and the FALSE gospel of the Roman Catholic Church. That same Catholic Church still teaches the very same things in our modern day that they did back then. Did the Protestant reformers seek to have UNITY with the Church of Rome back then? Of course not and that is why the Church of Rome came against them, and killed multitudes of them also. So if the Church of Rome is still preaching the same damnable heresies, why are the leaders in the modern day church joining in UNITY with them?

The spiritual battle continued between the religious Jewish people and the Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus healed another man on the Sabbath day and the Jewish leaders were not happy at all. They repeatedly questioned the man who was previously blind, and they questioned his parents also. They did not believe Jesus to be sent from God because he did a miracle on the Sabbath day, but they did not realize that he WAS God in the flesh! After Jesus told the formerly blind man that he was the Son of God, the man worshipped him! Jesus Christ did NOT refuse or reject that man's worship of him!

The Christmas "fuzzies" have arrived and the public images of the little goo-goo baby Jesus are ready to appear everywhere. I remember receiving many Christmas cards in earlier years with an image of "Mother Mary" holding a little baby Jesus in her arms. I also remember seeing many manger scenes with a little baby Jesus lying in a manger. They are still around today but I do not see as many as before. For many people who never crack open the cover of a Bible that mental image of "Jesus" is all they know. That is why it is important to know the scriptures for yourself and to learn about the REAL Jesus Christ!

When a person understands from the HEART and in the SPIRIT that Jesus Christ is ETERNAL, and that he was sent down from HEAVEN above, then and ONLY THEN will they understand the Gospel of Jesus Christ! That is why Jesus told the religious Jewish leaders of his own time in this world that he was NOT of this world!

When you take a look at the "gospel" of Romanism, you will find that it is NOT the same gospel which was preached by the original followers of Jesus Christ! In this video I share many scripture passages to expose the false teachings of the Roman Catholic Church. As a former Roman Catholic I can testify once again, that it was the TRUTH which set me FREE! Satan is the one who is behind the FALSE teachings of Rome, and he is a very CRAFTY spiritual being who seeks to DECEIVE everyone! Revelation 12:9 And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

The great controversy continues between Jesus the Messiah and the Jewish religious crowd who did NOT believe in Him. The Jews sought to kill him and Jesus even confronted them about that! Jesus also made it known to the Jewish people that they could have the LIVING waters flowing out of their INWARD parts IF they would believe in Him.

When a person hears the preaching of the Gospel, or reads the scriptures and the message concerning Jesus Christ they have the opportunity to get saved. Salvation does not come by ingesting the Roman Catholic Eucharist during the sacrifice of the Mass! Jesus actually spoke the following words: John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. John 6:67-68 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? [68] Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.

The well known Archbishop John Hughes made it clear that the aim of the Roman Catholic Church was to convert EVERYBODY, including Pagans and Protestants. Former Pope Benedict restated the policy of the Church of Rome in declaring that the Catholic Church was the ONLY true church. Pope Benedict made it explicitly CLEAR that the Protestant denominations were NOT true churches! Tune in to this video for more . . .

Jesus Christ did some awesome miracles when he walked this earth, including the times when he multiplied a few loaves and fishes to feed thousands. As good and powerful as that miracle was, the Lord wanted his followers to be more interested in the TRUE spiritual food which is found in HIM and HIS words!

The Roman Catholic Church teaches that their "sacrifice of the Mass" is the same sacrifice as the Sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross! The only difference is that it is done sacramentally on their altars in an "un-bloody" manner. They believe that the "sacrifice" of the Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice, and that it SATISFIES the justice of God for sins committed against him. Does the Bible teach those things? How can we know if those things are true or not? Tune in for the answers to this e questions.

The Scriptures are power-packed with different prophecies concerning Jesus Christ. Those prophecies can be found throughout the Old Testament and they found their FULFILLMENT in Jesus Christ. When Jesus arrived on the scene though the Jewish people for the most part despised him and rejected him. That included the rulers and leaders of the Jews including the chief priests also.

I thank God for saving my soul, and I thank God for his precious word, the TRUTH which set me free. I want you to see why Jesus Christ is against the Pope and the Church of Rome. I want to let you know without a doubt that I was on my way to Hell before I was truly saved and born again of the Spirit. I bring forth these teachings because there are literally millions of Roman Catholic people who are still on that same "broad road to destruction" that I was on. Have a blessed day!

Jesus Christ, the Son of God was known to have performed many miracles on the Sabbath day, and many of the religious Jewish people were not happy with that at all. How unhappy were they? They wanted to kill him! Different words such as "destroy him" "kill him" or "slay him" are used in the King James Bible BUT they all mean the same thing. The sooner that Jesus Christ was removed from the earth the better it would be. They did NOT believe him to be the Son pf God, Lord or the promised Messiah either. Tune in if you are interested in hearing Biblical truth!

A 5X married Gentile woman who was shacking up with a guy met Jesus one day, and he told HER about HER current and past relationships. The woman was startled and perceived HIM to be a prophet. Jesus Christ then REVEALED himself to that woman as the MESSIAH. She then took off and returned to her home town to tell the men in town about HIM! They returned to meet Jesus and quickly realized that everything she told them about Jesus was TRUE! John 4:39-42 And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did. [40] So when the Samaritans were come unto him, they besought him that he would tarry with them: and he abode there two days. [41] And many more believed because of his own word; [42] And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy saying: for we have heard him ourselves, and know that this is indeed the Christ [MESSIAH], the Saviour of the world.

There is only ONE Messiah of Israel and his name is Jesus Christ! In fact the word CHRIST means Messiah! In this teaching today we learn about a Gentile woman who met Jesus at a well. After conversing with Jesus for a short while the woman learned that Jesus knew everything about her, including the fact that she had been married 5 times already and that she was living with a man who was not her husband! Tune in for the rest of the story . . .

When a person searches the scriptures, it does not take too long before they realize that many of the things which are taught in the Roman Catholic Church, are nowhere to be found in the Bible. As a former Roman Catholic I can testify to you today that it was the truth of God's Word that set me FREE from the FALSE teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.

John the Baptist completed the great "handoff" in his preparation for the coming MESSIAH! The prophecies concerning John the Baptist were FULFILLED to the very letter including the one that said "Elijah" was coming. When Jesus Christ arrived on the scene the prophecies were FULFILLED which prophesied his coming. Jesus also made it clear that John (the Baptist) was the "Elijah" whom the prophet Malachi declared would come. It is totally awesome how the Old Testament flows beautifully into the New Testament. The Bridegroom is Jesus Christ and the church (both Jewish and Gentile believers) are the Bride! Hallelujah!

Being Born Again is a SPIRITUAL Birth which takes place within the heart of the individual. It is in contrast to your physical birth (or birth in the FLESH) which Jesus Christ spoke about. This SPIRITUAL birth is an absolute NECESSITY if you want to ENTER the Kingdom of God, and ultimately HEAVEN one day!

In this second chapter of the gospel of John we find Jesus Christ turning water into wine, and thus manifesting forth his Glory. Jesus rebuked his earthly mother Mary when he told her "Woman what have I to do with thee" after she first informed him that they had no wine. Later in the chapter the religious Jewish crowd asked Jesus for a "sign" as to why he turned over tables and chased people out of the Temple. Jesus basically said that after his body was destroyed (killed) he would raise it up again on the third day. That was the SIGN that he gave them! Jesus ACTUALLY prophesied his OWN death and resurrection and told them that would be the SIGN!

BIBLE STUDY 3 [JOHN 1:37-51] There was absolutely NO question about it, that the original followers of the Lord Jesus  KNEW that HE was in fact the MESSIAH! They could tell it by the way that he spoke, by the way that he performed miracles, and most IMPORTANTLY because the SCRIPTURES testified about HIM! That is what this video is about.

BIBLE STUDY 2 [JOHN 1:19-36] In this second part of the study on the gospel according to John we learn more about John the Baptist and how he prepared the way for Jesus Christ. John told the religious Jews that he was not the Christ (Messiah) himself, nor was he Elijah or that "prophet" of whom Moses spoke. John made it clear to the people that there was ONE coming whose sandals he was not worthy to even untie! He was talking about the person of Jesus Christ, who is also called the "Lamb of God."

BIBLE STUDY 1 [JOHN 1:1-18] This is part one of a verse by verse Bible study in the Gospel according to John. I absolutely LOVE this book and it was the Gospel of John that the Holy Spirit used to bring my own soul to Jesus Christ. This book shows us the DEITY of Jesus Christ and God's LOVE toward mankind in sending his own Son into this world to SAVE our wretched souls! Hallelujah! This is a great book for NEW and OLD Christians alike, and a great book for people who are searching for the TRUTH! Be Blessed in the Lord Jesus Christ!

The whole point of this AUDIO is that the 70th week of Daniel which is spoken of by many in this modern day as being in the FUTURE, has in REALITY been already FULFILLED, by none other than Jesus Christ the Messiah, who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords! The modern day DISPENSATIONAL prophecy teachers place this in the FUTURE, and claim that it is the 7 year FUTURE GREAT TRIBULATION, which kicks in AFTER the church is RAPTURED out of here. When you examine Daniel 9:24 you will see 6 different things described which are things that Jesus Christ accomplished at the CROSS. So we know that the 70th week is NOT FUTURE but in the PAST, and has already been FULFILLED by Jesus Christ himself. Give GLORY to HIS NAME! Be blessed in the Lord Jesus Christ! Daniel 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.

Countless millions of very sincere Christians have been taught that they will be whisked away, and taken up in a“secret invisible rapture” of believers, but those same precious souls have been SINCERELY deceived. It is NOT going to happen that way. Many also believe in a FUTURE Millennium on planet earth also. Many of the false preachers of our day have even instructed the people who are “Left Behind” what to do IF they are still in the world when the true believers have suddenly disappeared. Those same millions have been told that they will be with the Lord for seven years while all hell breaks loose here on planet Earth, and AFTER that seven year tribulation the Lord will come back to reign on Earth for a thousand years. The only problem with that teaching is that the Bible and the Lord Jesus Christ tell us otherwise . . .

The late Keith Green [Christian Evangelist/Musician] was one of the few people who had the spiritual fortitude to speak up and write against the system that we know as Roman Catholicism. It is absolutely incredible when you take a look at the modern day “Church” and see how the “church of Rome” has become accepted as just another branch of Christianity, when nothing could be further from the truth. Keith let us know that only a brief glimpse was needed to discern that the system of the Roman Catholic Church was “one of the most unbiblical doctrinal systems that has ever been considered Christian” Learn the TRUTH in this video!

In this video I show you what the Roman Catholic church teaching on their Pope is all about, and contrast it with the scriptures. As a former Roman Catholic I have been liberated from the “Popish” leadership and bondage of that unbiblical religious system, and I hope that the Spirit of God will open your eyes also. So let’s take a look at some of the Catholic church teachings first. "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them." Isaiah 8:20

As a FORMER Roman Catholic myself I must tell you that the Roman Catholic teachings regarding "Mother Mary" are totally DEMONIC! I do not apologize for telling you that those teachings are not of God at all. They are DEMONIC in origin and they are meant to divert a persons attention away from the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the only sinless human being to walk this earth. Satan and his principalities and powers, seek to take your focus off of Jesus Christ and to put it on the person of Mary. Satan has implanted those false doctrines within the Roman Catholic system, and billions have been deceived over the centuries, including myself at one time!

Eternal LIFE is found in only ONE place and that is IN the person of Jesus Christ! Jesus told the Jewish UNBELIEVERS that if they REALLY believed in MOSES then they would have believed in HIM! Why? Because MOSES testified about HIM! There is a spiritual VEIL that is upon the minds and hearts of BOTH Jewish and Gentile UNBELIEVERS. That spiritual VEIL can only be REMOVED when a person turns to the Lord for salvation!

Did you know that Jesus Christ actually rebuked his EARTHLY mother named Mary at one point? He most certainly did, and you will find that Jesus never put his mother Mary on a pedestal. It is important to know these things because millions have been deceived into paying homage to Mary and even praying to her. I know because I was one of them UNTIL the Lord saved my soul out of the deception of the Roman Catholic Church!

The persecution of TRUE Christians and the destruction of homes continues in Chiapas, Mexico after five more homes were destroyed by the Roman Catholics. There have been 180 homes destroyed by the Roman Catholic traditionalists since 1982 and those homes belonged to TRUE Christians. Most of the Christians are former Roman Catholics like myself. They were truly born again of the Spirit, redeemed and justified by the BLOOD of Jesus Christ. In this video I show you through the scriptures why things like this are happening!

The teaching of PURGATORY is one of the most deceptive, and wicked teachings in the Roman Catholic system, and it is an absolute INSULT to the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is SPIRITUAL HERESY of the worst kind. There is no Purgatory! The place does not exist! When I was born again at the age of thirty six, I began to speak out against the FALSE teachings of the Roman Catholic church. As a former Roman Catholic I know without a shadow of a doubt, that I would have ended up in HELL, because I did NOT know the real Jesus Christ. There are countless millions of Roman Catholic people who attend their Catholic Mass every week, or even every day that are in the same LOST spiritual condition that I was in. They have NEVER been truly born again of the Spirit, and they are in a religious system that teaches that they were born again, when they were baptized as infants. That is why I continue to shout the WARNING to you loud and clear. You will probably NOT hear this inside your church, so that is why I am shouting out this WARNING to you here.

Dispensational teaching is a smack in the face to the finished perfect sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross! The teaching about a FUTURE Jewish Temple with MEMORIAL TYPES of sacrifices is going backwards, and not forward! That is returning to the SHADOW after the REALITY (Jesus Christ) has come! Do not be fooled by Scofield (and his Bible), and similar teachings. Go back to the Bible and take Jesus at his word!

For many, many centuries now the Church of Rome, better known as the Roman Catholic Church, have been practicing what is known as "transubstantiation." They believe that the Catholic priest has the power to change the bread and wine on their altars into the ACTUAL body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ himself. After the consecration in their Catholic Mass takes place they believe that the wafer host has now become Jesus Christ, and they even pronounce anathemas (curses) upon those who do not believe that! That bread wafer host is sometimes carried around PUBLICLY by a Catholic priest in a sunburst style monstrance with the wafer host in the middle of that sunburst design. In this video I prove through the use of the scriptures that the Church of Rome adores a counterfeit Christ and that they preach a counterfeit Gospel.

The Dispensational teachers believe in several different judgments. They believe that the judgment of the sheep and the goats is a separate judgment from the judgment on the LAST day which Jesus Christ himself taught. They believe that the BRETHREN mentioned in the parable of the SHEEP and the GOATS represent the Jewish people. They teach that NATIONS will be judged by how they treat the Jewish people, and that is a matter of LIFE and DEATH specifically eternal life!
