Overcoming the Masonic Lodge
At one time I would have thought it absurd to think a person would have to overcome something that they themselves had never been involved in, and that 'something' could produce curses. But then I saw in the bible how curses were passed on to the third and fourth generations. And I also came to see that curses are real and that it is the mercy of God in a person's life to deal with them. In Proverbs 26:2 it says that the curse causeless does not come. There is a cause behind every curse. But when Jesus was raised from the dead 2000 years ago, He overcame every one of them, and the victory for us to overcome them is our faith. Praise God!
Being able to write and speak these testimonies has been a tremendous blessing in my life and I am grateful to God for the opportunity to share all over the world what the power of God has done, and continues to do in my life. This is definitely something I never could have thought or asked, but in Ephesians 3:20 it says that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can think or ask, according to the power that works in us. The wisdom of God is absolutely incredible and I thank Him for it!
I shared in my last written testimony how God started leading me again to go and drive north to Durant, Oklahoma to pray and overcome more powers and principalities (not to see how many miles I could put on my car!). This is now the third week and I am overcoming some powerful things every single day. God is the only One who knows how to lead a person to overcome and the exact path to lead them down so that they can. But one thing I will say, is that you have to have a determination and a desire to overcome these powers and principalities in your own life that have your soul bound, or you will never. And back in January 1991, there was a determination that came in my life to overcome like I had not had before. I remember speaking out loud to the Lord and I said, "I am determined to overcome the powers of darkness in my life and whatever it takes to do it - I am going to do it, so that I can obtain the things that you have promised me by your Spirit." And that has been 8 years ago, and I have overcome some tremendous things during that time, and I am still just as determined to continue in my overcomings.
But getting on with what I am going to share with you ...... This past Sunday night at church (4-25-99), Doyle mentioned briefly how he had delivered me from the Masonic Lodge several years back, because I had a dad and both grandfather's who were Masons. I will share with you what happened several years back (probably in l992 or 1993) when he broke a curse off my life that came from the Masonic Lodge. (Then I will continue on with some things.)
I have shared in previous testimonies about my face and the attack that came on me for a 3-4 year period. And it was probably a year or so into that period of time when I had a bladder infection hit me that lasted for two weeks. As a little girl (3-4 years old) I had these infections and even had to have an operation. I would frequently have to go to the doctor for treatments when this infection would hit me, and they were very unpleasant experiences, to say the least. But as soon as it would hit my body, I would have to go to the doctor because it was so uncomfortable and miserable. Then when my mother married her husband, who was a physician, he would give me pills that would relieve the discomfort and after a short period of time this infection would clear up. So there was never a very long period of time that I went without getting some kind of help when this bladder infection would hit me.
So during this time ('92 or '93) when the devil hit me with this attack, it was a real test of my faith to believe God to get through it. As I stated, it lasted for two weeks. Some time during this two week period, I had told Doyle about it. He called me one morning and asked me if I had considered going to the doctor and I told him, "No, I had not." He asked me if I would be willing to go if he believed it was right and I said, "Yes, if you think it is right, I will go." But in my heart I said, "Lord, I really do not want to have to go to the doctor, I want to believe the power of God to heal me." But I was willing to humble myself and go when he asked me that question, and God knew that. Nothing else was ever mentioned. It was probably a few days later, and I still had this attack in my body. And I was still believing the power of God to heal this infection.
I never will forget it, but it was a Saturday morning (2 weeks since it had first hit me) and I told the Lord, "I am not going to let this stop me or hinder me any longer, today I am going to get through this." That afternoon Doyle and I had been praying, and we had been doing some strong praying. All of a sudden up out of his spirit, he started addressing the 'highest ruler of the Masonic Lodge'. He later told me that it took all the strength he had in prayer when he started addressing this ruler. When he spoke this out, though, I could feel in my body this infection leave. There was no screaming, shaking, or any outward manifestation - I just felt in my body I was healed. It was an incredible thing. It was just like what had happened to the woman in Mark 5:25-29 with the issue of blood. She said, "If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague." I have not had another attack since that day. And the reason, is because that curse was broken off my life that day that had been there ever since I was a little girl, and it came from the Masonic Lodge (with my dad and both my grandfather's being Masons). These curses are real, no question about it!
This past Monday morning (4-26-99) as I was driving and praying, all the way to Durant, Oklahoma I had been praying in other tongues with all the faith and force I could muster. And after I turned around and started heading back home, I started praying in English and the Spirit of God rose up inside of me and I started binding witchcraft. I mean the Spirit of God started 'zeroing' in on witchcraft. And I kept praying and binding that spirit and when I did my voice left me - just like that. (I had had one up until that time!) Then it was like all the faith inside of me was 'sucked' right out of me. It was as if I had no faith, whatsoever. The devil spoke to me and told me, "This is not working and you are one crazy person for doing all this driving - it is just a waste of time." I knew this was the devil and I said, "Oh, shut up, devil." And I just kept praying and binding witchcraft. In all honesty, I felt like it was a wasted day - I mean I felt like I had no faith and my prayers were left unanswered. But faith does not consider how it 'feels' - it will just keep believing God. And I have learned this over the years. It does not matter how you feel, or don't feel, you just keep praying and believing the gospel and you will overcome and break through.
After Doyle had mentioned this at church on Sunday night, on Monday night at the men's meeting, he brought this up again about the Masonic Lodge. After the meeting was over, he called me and told me he had shared again about this Masonic Lodge curse (although he has never shared about the bladder infection). Later on that night after he had called, I knew in my spirit God wanted me to get on the internet and look up some information about the Masonic Lodge and the Masons. I knew inside of me it was God. So I got on the internet and ended up spending 2 1/2 hours reading information on it. Normally, I would not spend that amount of time on the internet reading about any such subject. But this was the Spirit of God, and as I was reading, I could tell I was overcoming this spirit. And then I could tell that faith started rising up inside of me. (This is what had seduced my faith earlier that day.)
I have shared this before, but I know it is right to say this here. There have been many things that Doyle has delivered me from over the years, and he has casts many devils out of me. But over the past several years, I have been overcoming the works that these spirits did to my soul. Specifically, the Jezebel spirit. And that is all the Masonic Lodge is. That is really what all religions are - the Jezebel. But even though you have been delivered from these spirits, you will have to overcome the works that these spirits have done to your soul. And on Monday night, that is what was going on with the Masonic Lodge - I was overcoming the spirit behind this organization - even though years back Doyle had broken that curse over my life, which was a third or fourth generation curse.
I am going to share some things I read on the internet and what I overcame, because I believe it is the will of God. And also, there may be people who have no idea that this is a demonic organization and that the spirits behind it brings curses upon your life. There is nothing to be afraid of, and there is no condemnation if you or a family member have been involved in this, just know that Jesus overcame these spirits and He wants to set you free, just as He has me. Amen!
I knew almost nothing about this organization, other than it was for men and the meetings the Masons attended were very secretive. I never remember hearing my dad or grandfather's ever say anything about it. I do not even know how active they were in it. My mother's dad later saw that it was wrong and quit going. But as I was reading on the internet, it said that they are not a secretive organization, although they do have secrets.
A few years back, my older sister was telling me about a friend of hers, whose dad was a Mason. The dad had told his daughter some of the things that went on in these meetings, and he ended up getting out of it completely. I do not know if that went on in all the lodges, but when my sister told me what this friend shared with her, it did not take much to figure out it was totally demonic.
As I continued reading, and I even watched and listened to a 15 minute video, it said the Masons are a very family-oriented organization and have different groups for each member of the family. They have the Demolya's for the boys, Rainbow Girls and Jobs Daughters for the girls, and then the Eastern Star for the wives. My mother, my sisters nor myself nor either of my grandmothers were ever involved in any of those. I do have a great aunt who was in the Eastern Star. So really only the men in our family were in this organization. That was just the grace of God He did not let me get involved, because it has been hard enough overcoming this spirit with my dad and grandfather's being involved in it.
But it continued on in these articles that the Masonic Lodge is the world's most exclusive fraternal order. (Big time pride!) To be a member you have to believe in a Supreme Being - so atheists are not allowed. (I guess you could say they have a form of godliness, but deny the power thereof!) Community service and charitable work are in fact principle Masonic activities. (Sounds good to the flesh - it's just the wrong spirit!) Best known is the world's largest single charitable institution - the Shriner's Hospital for Crippled Children and Burns Institute. As a young girl, I remember going to the circus with my dad and grandfathers and the Shriner's raised money for children at the Scottish Rite Hospital in Dallas that were crippled and badly burned there. All a work of the flesh, that one day will burn itself! If you were to preach the gospel to this group of people, they would think you were crazy. But Jesus said His glory (honor) will fill this earth. And I look forward to the day when that resurrection power manifests in its' fulness and the Holy Spirit convinces people of their doubt and unbelief in being involved in such demonic activities, that they thought were in fact godly.
It also said that there have been 16 United States Presidents that are Masons (I think it said Bill Clinton was in the Demolya's when he was a boy), and 7 astronauts. There are 2 1/2 million Masons in the United States and Canada, and 4 million worldwide. Then it mentioned something about Jerusalem. It went on to say that there is a deep cavern known as King Solomon's Quarries (in the Old City) - and in this cave on May 13, 1868 was the first recorded Masonic ceremony that took place in the Holy Land. Then it went on to say that there are 8 lodges working in Jerusalem, I assume presently.
The Masons support research, teaching and treatment or rehabilitation services for children with learning and speech disorders, cancer, visual problems and need of dental restoration. I could see that the very thing they believe in helping people in, are the very things that bring curses upon people's lives for being involved in them. Which is how the devil works. He will make you think something is so good and honorable, and then turn around and try to destroy you with it. But thank God that Jesus is greater than the devil and all of his works. Amen.
Anyway, when I read 'dental restoration' something happened inside of me. I mean the power of God rose up inside of me and I knew I was overcoming the curse that is on Amy's mouth with her teeth. I have known that the reason her teeth are the way they are is because of a curse - I just never knew where that curse came from. And it came from the Masonic Lodge. I know God revealed this to my spirit on Monday night. The next morning I told Amy what the Lord had showed me - where this curse had come from, and I told her, "Get ready, because when God shows you something, He is getting ready to do something about it." She was excited!! He also showed me how these curses had manifested in other ways in my two sisters when they were young - just as it had in me with the bladder infections.
When my older sister was a young girl, she had problems with her feet (ankles) turning in. My parents took her to doctors and the doctors ended up putting her in 'corrective' shoes. The shoes were very expensive and ugly! She hated wearing them. But for the most part, they did correct her problem. Then my younger sister had problems with her speech when she was very young, and they ended up putting her in speech therapy classes. The age that children usually start forming words and talking, all she could do was 'babble'. They thought she would never talk! (She has no problem with that now!!) But God was showing me how these curses had manifested in our lives when we were young kids. These are wicked spirits behind the Masonic Lodge - they appear as angels of light, in that they are always trying to help children, and those in need, but the motive behind it is Satan himself - and that is the deceit of it. (The bible does say that we are to beware of the devils methods.)
Back in l989 when God spoke to my spirit and told me not to go back to the dentist anymore, later on He also spoke to me and told me to believe Him for the power of God to straighten Amy's teeth. He was having me lay down some more confidence in the flesh, which is trusting in man. And this has been one of the harder things to believe for, but I knew it was God that spoke to me and I have trusted in, relied on and adhered to the power that raised Jesus from the dead to perform His Word in her mouth. And I am totally confident that this healing power is about to manifest in her mouth. There has been much opposition for my believing the power of God to heal and straighten her teeth, and it has come out of wicked people's hearts and mouths who are full of unbelief. Had I not believed what He spoke to me about straightening her teeth, I would have been in unbelief and rebellion myself to do something otherwise.
But I am thankful that His mercy and grace has always been sufficient for me to overcome, and I am thankful for Amy trusting this being God that spoke to me, as much as she has been able to. It has done a work in her heart, and 2-3 years back the Lord started convincing her, in her heart, that the power of God would manifest in her teeth. She came to me and told me she did not want braces any longer, she wanted to see the power of God fix her teeth. That in itself was an overcoming for me. I have told her on numerous occasions that this was already done 2000 years ago when Jesus was raised from the dead. Because every bone in the body of Jesus was out of joint, and that included those in his mouth, and the power that raised Him from the dead made His mouth completely sound. And all we have to do is overcome the spirit behind this and it will manifest. And I believe it is imminent. Praise God!
You know, I am so thankful to the Lord for all the things he has delivered me from and led me to overcome, and every bit of it has come out of this apostle-prophet ministry that was ordained by God from the foundation of the world, which has included a foundation of the gospel being laid in my heart.
On Monday of this week as I was praying and thinking on some things, and really just meditating on how grateful I am to the Lord for intervening in my life and not leaving me alone, the Lord brought a scripture up in my spirit that is in Hosea 4:17, about Ephraim being joined to his idols, and God said - let him alone. It is really a frightening thing to think that one could be joined to idols, and God would leave you alone because of it. Even though at times all the things He has had to deliver me from were not overly pleasant to be going through, I am grateful He has not left me alone, but that He has continued to work in my heart. It definitely has been worth it because of the changes that have taken place in my heart.
And in Mark 1:14-15, Jesus told us to do something. He said, "The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand (the power of God is at hand): repent ye, and believe the gospel. Turn from your ways and your doings - from your will, to the Lord's will, and then trust in, rely on and adhere to that power that raised Jesus from the dead! This is exactly what has happened in my life - I have turned from my ways and my will - to His ways and His will, and I have not been disappointed one bit. It is the goodness of God that leads us to repentance (Romans 2:4), and anything in my life that I need to change my will on, to God's will, I am convinced He will show me.
I would encourage you this day to believe the power that raised Jesus from the dead and watch God start leading you to overcome the powers and principalities and rulers of the darkness of this world that have had you bound throughout your life. Jesus is coming back after a church (the body of Christ) that is without spot, wrinkle and blemish, and one that has overcome the world!
