Separation of Church and State
About 20 minutes from our home in Maryland stands a memorial dedicated to the fallen of World War I. It is called the Peace Cross. It has been a landmark in Bladensburg, MD since 1925.

But the American Humanist Association is bound and determined that this Cross must come down. They say it is just too Christian. The case is now on its way to the SCOTUS for a final decision.

This demonically inspired group just had a victory in Florida, where they got a court to rule that the display of a Cross was not upheld by our Constitution, and they cited the so-called “Separation of Church and State ” mantra.

Did you know that these words are not found in our Constitution?  Surprised, are you?  I am praying that those who read this article will never forget the truth of the much coined and false statement which is used by God-haters across our country.

Satan is a liar and the father of them.  He is also the author of confusion. He took our First Amendment and twisted it, just as he does with God’s Holy Word.

Here is the First Amendment of our Constitution:

“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”

Do you see in the First Amendment the verbiage “Separation of Church and State ?”

Neither do I.

We don’t see it because it is NOT there. The First Amendment was given its place of prominence because our Founding Fathers wanted to ensure that the government would never establish a “religion” that would be forced upon the American people.

Then why do we hear this clause so much?

In 1802, a group of Baptist ministers from Danbury, CT wrote to Thomas Jefferson. They were concerned about the possibility that the State would impose a denomination and their freedom to worship as Baptists might be in jeopardy.

Here is Thomas Jefferson’s response to these CT pastors:

Jefferson’s Letter to the Danbury Baptists

The Final Letter, as Sent:

To messers. Nehemiah Dodge, Ephraim Robbins, & Stephen S. Nelson, a committee of the Danbury Baptist association in the state of Connecticut.

Gentlemen

The affectionate sentiments of esteem and approbation which you are so good as to express towards me, on behalf of the Danbury Baptist association, give me the highest satisfaction. My duties dictate a faithful and zealous pursuit of the interests of my constituents, & in proportion as they are persuaded of my fidelity to those duties, the discharge of them becomes more and more pleasing.

Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should “make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof,” thus building a wall of separation between Church and State. Adhering to this expression of the supreme will of the nation in behalf of the rights of conscience, I shall see with sincere satisfaction the progress of those sentiments which tend to restore to man all his natural rights, convinced he has no natural right in opposition to his social duties.

I reciprocate your kind prayers for the protection & blessing of the common father and creator of man, and tender you for yourselves & your religious association, assurances of my high respect & esteem.” (Emphasis mine)

Th Jefferson
Jan. 1. 1802.

In the past 100 years, the phrase “Wall of Separation between Church and State ” (taken from Jefferson’s letter) has been misconstrued to mean that anything to do with Religion must be separate from State or Federal Government.

First of all, as I said before – the phrase “Separation of Church and State ” is found nowhere in the Constitution. God-hating individuals have repeatedly used this statement (which was to PROTECT the Christians) so many times, that the average person on the street will tell you that this is part of America’s Constitution.

Devilish…..is it not?

What was meant to protect the rights of freedom of worship was turned around and used against us!

I plead with the readers of this piece to always remember this story about Thomas Jefferson and the Baptist ministers. You will be able to shut down outright lies. Print this article out if you can.

This is only the beginning

Just as Crosses are offensive to God-haters, I believe that a time is coming when our Bibles may be confiscated. The Bible, once used for swearing in people before giving testimony in court, is now considered a book of hate. Why? Because God Himself has made it clear in His Word that homosexuality, abortion, transgenderism and every other aberrant practice by sinful men and women are an abomination to Him.

The groups of homosexuals and transgenders have demanded to be protected as a minority and put in the same category as Blacks when they were promised protection and equality under the law. This is ludicrous. This is comparing apples to oranges! These groups have nothing to do with racial or ethnic protections.

Abraham Lincoln said that all men were created equal. He did not say “All sexual preferences are created equal. Back then, these “practices” were against the law! That speaks volumes to me!

We need only to look at China to see what may happen in America if the Left gets back into power. The frenzy we have witnessed since the inauguration of President Trump is merely a glimpse at what may happen to us if the God-haters rule the land once again.

Satan is in a Rage

Satan knows that his days are numbered. He must lash out while he still can. Since Satan knows the Word of God better than any one of us, he knows how this ends. So, in his state of rage, he is determined to wreak havoc amongst Christians. The Left worship him, but they prefer to call him Lucifer.

Good is Evil and Evil Good

“Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light, and light for darkness;
Who put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!” (Isaiah 5:20)

Are we not seeing this before our eyes? But take heart, brethren. We know how this story ends; we must cling to our Lord and Trust Him fully. We must look for Jesus at any time to come and gather us away from this place which is not our home.

As the saying goes: “We ain’t seen nothin’ yet.”

I have been writing for years on a very dangerous and violent Chinese cult called “Church of Almighty God” AKA “Eastern Lightning.”

A reader of my articles wrote to me yesterday asking if I had ever heard of “Christian Holy City Church.”

Here is the email:

“Dear Sister Geri:

“I’m a little concerned about Christian Holy City Church. Who are they? I have been contacted by ‘Jasmine’ and asked to translate from English into Romanian a passage. My bewilderment comes from the fact that their name sort of came out of the blue on Facebook. Anything you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

“Is it a cult?”

I immediately went online to see what I could find. I was not shocked to see that this was yet another alias for “Church of Almighty God.”

If you have not read my exposé on “Church of Almighty God,” here is the link:

“CULT ALERT: Don’t be fooled by Church of Almighty God AKA Eastern Lightning”

In my research of the new name, “Christian Holy City Church,” I was shocked to find that this dangerous cult is using at least 10 aliases – probably many more:

About “Eastern Lightning”

From seyiaku.com

Eastern Lightning

Eastern Lightning is a religion founded in China in 1989, and led by Mr. Zhao (Xu) Weishan, a former physics teacher and member of the unbiblical Shouters sect. Followers believe that the Messiah has returned and lives in the body of Weishan’s wife, Yang Xiangbin, a.k.a Lightning Deng, also a former member of the Shouters. The Chinese government has classified Eastern Lightning as a dangerous and “evil cult.”

The name “Eastern Lightning” sounds a bit like the name of a race horse, which is perhaps why adherents, when speaking with outsiders, more frequently use the aliases:

• Church of the Almighty God or
• Church of the Gospel’s Kingdom

They have traditionally targeted house churches in China, amongst whom word has spread, putting them on guard. Consequently, further aliases have sprung up more recently, and include:

• The Congregation
• Oriental Lightning
• Seven Spirit Sect
• Second Savior Sect
• True Light Sect
• True Way Sect, and
• New Power Lord’s Church

No doubt other names have been coined since this webpage was written. All churches worldwide must be on guard. (emphasis mine)

Their members have been accused of kidnapping, extortion, brainwashing, torture and even murder – not only accused in the courts, but found guilty and convicted. Eastern Lightning’s official rebuttal is that the accusations are lies conjured up by the Chinese government to discredit them. The Communist Party of China is described in Eastern Lightning literature as the “Great Red Dragon” portrayed in Revelation 12 as the persecutor of God’s chosen people.

Eastern Lightning and the State are likely to continue their battle, and this page does not attempt to debate which side is more flawed; rather we look at the meaning of the Eastern Lightning’s emblem.

(But you’ll notice which side we disagree with more.)

The emblem

There are three elements to the emblem:

1. The star in the east
2. The cross
3. The crescent

And we’ll look at each in turn.

1. The Star of the East

(Actually, the star’s position on the emblem is northeast, as is Henan, China, where the religion was founded. But let’s not quibble and allow them some latitude.)

The name Eastern Lightning comes from Scriptural references to the returning Messiah and the east in Matt. 24:27,

“For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.”

Note the wording carefully. Matthew does not say that the second coming of Christ is the lightning, but just like the lightning. Matthew does not say that Christ will return from the east; and even if he did, that does not necessarily mean China.

To make sense of Matthew’s eastern reference, we must remember that the Gospel of Matthew was written for the benefit of all mankind, but in particular for the benefit of early Christian churches in Israel. The geopolitical borders have shifted a bit since then, but the Arabian Desert is still to the east.

It doesn’t rain much in the desert (< 100 mm per annum) so thunder and lightning are rare. It takes a pretty explosive lightning to light up the whole sky, and that makes such lightning from the east even more rare – so rare that it would be supernatural.

Now, if indeed Yang Xiangbin is the Messiah, then for Eastern Lightning’s interpretation of Matthew to be correct, the bolt of lightning in China would have to be strong enough to be visible in Israel, permanently blinding the eyes of the billion or so people who live between the two countries. That rather contradicts Rev. 1:7, “every eye will see him.”

Unfortunately for Ms. Yang & Co., China doesn’t fit that interpretation of Matthew. Neither does “Son of man” really mean “Daughter of man,” and the little star in your emblem looks more like a twinkle than an explosion of light.

1. The cross

The Cross represents the apparatus used to kill Jesus, and this points to one of the many glaring differences between Jesus Christ and the new Yang “Christ.”

When Jesus was persecuted by the civic authorities, he presented himself to the court to receive his punishment, then dragged a rough wooden cross to Calvary on which he was crucified. From there he rose again, lives in Heaven, yet is in our hearts.

When Yang Xiangbin was persecuted by the civic authorities, she updated her passport, dragged her smart suitcase to the nearest airport and fled the country to New York, where she lives happily ever after with her husband Zhao and their son.

Including a cross in the emblem is curious.

1. The crescent

The crescent moon is favored by followers of Islam, but Eastern Lightning is as distant from Islam as it is from Christianity.

Christians (and Muslims) do not dispute that Matthew wrote:

“For just like the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so the coming of the Son of Man will be.”

And neither do they dispute Matthew’s words, just four verses prior (Matt. 24:23),

“If anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe him. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect.”

Eastern Lightning is banned in China, the most populous nation on earth, and is seeking to expand. As already mentioned, their tactics traditionally target small churches.

‘מתיקות במעמקי הצרות’ | סרט קצר על הרדיפות שסבלה כנסיית האל הכול יכול

האן לו היא מנהיגה בכנסיית האל הכול יכול בסין היבשתית. היא מאמינה באלוהים מזה עשר שנים ומעלה, וחוותה את עבודתו של האל הכול יכול באחרית הימים. היא מבינה אי-אילו אמיתות ויודעת שרק באמצעות המשיח של אחרית הימים, האל הכול יכול, בני האדם יוכלו להשתחרר מן החטא ולחיות חיים בעלי משמעות. היא ויתרה על הכול כדי ללכת בעקבות האל הכול יכול, ונסעה ממקום למקום כדי להעיד על הופעתו ועבודתו של אלוהים באחרית הימים. אך בסין, היכן שהמפלגה הקומוניסטית האתיאיסטית נמצאת בשלטון, אין חופש אמונה דתית. הממשלה הקומוניסטית הפיצה מסמכים סודיים שאוסרים לחלוטין על כל הכנסיות הביתיות, והיא לכדה ורדפה משיחיים בקדחתניות. האן לו ואחרים היו נתונים למעקב בידי שוטרי הממשל הקומוניסטי, ובסופו של דבר נלכדו. שוטרי הממשל הקומוניסטי עינו את האן לו בברוטליות כדי לנסות לשדוד את כספי הכנסייה וללכוד מנהיגים נוספים בה. הם גם השתמשו בשמועות ובשקרים כדי לנסות לשטוף את מוחה, השתמשו במשפחתה כדי לנסות להכריעה, והפעילו שיטות בזויות אחרות כדי לנסות ולאיים עליה, מתוך ניסיון לאלצה להתכחש לאלוהים ולבגוד בו… בכאבה ובחולשתה, האן לו נסמכה על אלוהים והתפללה לו, ובהדרכת דברי אלוהים הצליחה לחדור לעומקם של כל תכסיסי השטן. היא צלחה חקירות רבות בעינויים והפריכה בעוצמה את כל השמועות והשקרים של הממשל הקומוניסטי. בתוך אווירה מרה של רדיפות מטעם הממשל הקומוניסטי נמסרה עדות יפהפיה ומהדהדת…

כנסיית האל הכול יכול  #סרטי_בשורה  #ללכת_אחריy

English Translation found on Google Translate:

“Han lo is a leader in the Church of God Almighty in continental China. She believes in God for ten years and above, and that he has done the work of God Almighty in the end of days. She understands some truths and knows that only through the Messiah of the apocalypse, God Almighty, humans can be free of sin and live a life of meaning. She gave up everything to follow God Almighty, and drove from place to place to testify to the appearance and work of God in the end of days. But in China, where the communist party atheistic is in power, there is no freedom of religious faith.

“The Communist government made secret documents that were completely distributed on all home churches, and it captured the came and the messianic. Han Lou and others were subjected to surveillance by the communist government officers, and eventually captured.

“The Communist government officers tortured Han brutally to try to rob the church’s money and capture more leaders in it. They also used the rumours and the lies to try to wash her mind, use her family to try to lhkryʻh [word undecipherable], and other menial methods to try and threaten her, out of attempt to deny God and betray him… and to his love, Han lo hinged on God and forgive him, and say God’s word managed to penetrate all the devil’s tricks. She has been doing a lot of investigations in torture and also all the rumors and lies of the communist government. In a bitter atmosphere of persecution from the communist government, there was a beautiful testimony.

“Pastors worldwide, beware.” – source

Brethren, please know that this growing satanic cult is now using the internet social media to find people who will translate a passage of Chinese into various languages. The above translation into Hebrew is just one example of what these people are doing worldwide!

This can only mean that they are propagating their lies by having them in many languages to spread throughout the world.

Just diabolical.

If you are approached by a stranger asking you to translate something – PLEASE KNOW that this is part of this satanic cult!

The recruiter for translations:

Recruiter’s “Linked in” page

I found a “Linked In” page for a top recruiter for this cult. He is in charge of networking the translations. His name is Steven Liu.

You can see his many projects here.

I clicked one of the projects of this cult member called “Large Christian Translation Project.”

Brethren, this just never seems to end. It is growing like a spider’s web on the internet, and pulling in unsuspecting people. PLEASE ASK your friends and family if they are in any of the FB groups **refer to the list of aliases above.

We are in the last days and Satan knows it. Evil and deception are rampant.

I am trying my best to keep up with this most dangerous cult and its many aliases.

“Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Timothy 4:1).

“For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect” (Matthew 24:24).  

Believe it or not, CNN has a piece exposing this Evil Cult:

From CNN

Eastern Lightning: “The Banned Religious Group that has China Worried”

Brethren, please read the CNN piece in its entirety. When CNN publishes something like this, it is very out of character for them. They KNOW that this a murderous cult, and they estimate that there are over 1 million members at this time.

And to the CULT members:

I know that you are viewing this article. You have no power over me. I worship the True and Living God who came to earth (Jesus Christ) to die on the Cross for our sins. He was resurrected on the third day and is now seated in heaven at the right hand of His Father.

Jesus Christ will NOT come back as a Chinese woman. He came the first time as a Lamb to be slaughtered. The NEXT time He comes it will be as KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS! I pray that those belonging to this Satanic cult will know the truth and come out from those lies.

And if you conspire to bring me harm, please know that I have a network too! The information gathered and presented in this article is now in the hands of HUNDREDS of true children of God.
