The Witchcraft of Uganda

post 272

Did you get your copy of George Otis Jr.’s DVD An Unconventional War(*1) yet? You really need to.
Not so much because you need to see the unspeakable horrors those people suffered but because you need to comprehend the true solution by seeing the true cause.
Reading about Christians burned on poles as Nero’s street lights thousands of years ago is easy to disassociate those long ago events from reality but northern Ugandan’s horrific situation is a recently past, twenty-year long, current events situation so recent that even today it is not wholly concluded.

In this video you get first hand narration of the horrible events they experienced and while it is sometimes hard to understand their English speech don’t forget to be amazed that they speak it at all, and to your benefit. Do you speak Ugandan along with your English? No? Then don’t disassociate their intelligent humanity from your own because they have a different skin color; these people are not ignorant or less human because they happen to live in another country and setting, try to achieve even a little of their international intelligence by overcoming your ignorance of hearing your own language in another voice. Their human problem is your human problem; see your own potential suffering through their eyes; their stolen sons and daughters are your sons and daughter, their murdered people are your relatives and neighbors, their destroyed schools and churches and homes are yours. Own their suffering as a shared common humanity of suffering against the demonic violence (Romans 12:15b-16).

Their demonic violence took on a complex nature as the LRA was an organization that believed their spirits were Christian and were led by the spirits of God the Father and the Holy Ghost. The LRA is an acronym for “The Lord’s Resistance Army.”
Add to the complexity of a so-called violent-Christianity-of-death-unto-salvation, the fact that the stolen sons were forced into the LRA to do the killing and maiming of their own communities from which they were abducted. So although the leadership was from another neighboring region of Uganda, the actual perpetrators were not strangers from another nation or even from a contending tribal group; the murderers were their own sons forced by fear to kill their own people, and their own stolen daughters became the mothers of their enemy’s children, all while everybody claimed to be Christian, including the driving spirits.

“and while the people felt anger at Kony (the LRA leader), they were torn between the two; because it was their own children; their own cousins, and nephews and nieces, who were doing this”

How’s that for complex?
The people of Uganda have a traditional faith in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. When they are concerned or in a quandary or in fear, they turn to the Savior, and when the demonically driven cult army was seen near the protectively walled Catholic school for girls, the parents consoled their daughters by phone; “You have to trust in God and always to pray, whatever happens.” And when the demonically driven cult army came abducting and maiming and murdering, these same parents cried out in anguish to Jesus;

“…I say ‘Jesus, Why?’, I say ‘Jesus, Where’s he at?’” - Sarah Odongo Mother of abducted Janet Akello.
“Parents were rolling on the ground wailing” - another mother of an abducted daughter.

But their faith in Jesus- in spite of their troubles- did not crumble, though that didn’t keep them from asking searching questions as to the reasons and their right responses.
From three different mothers we see the progressive anguish of a severely tried faith:

“He (God) knows people are suffering, He knows they’re dying, that doesn’t mean God doesn’t listen to us, doesn’t care anymore…”

“After wailing, I thought back and say Eh!... Eh (like a sharp sigh), How will I continue wailing, who will be my savior (illegible)?”

“I was lost, I would do nothing. I almost gave up. I almost gave up”.

The narrator describes the response to the Aboke St. Mary’s girl’s school kidnapping; “Wounded and confused, family members gathered in churches to pray. Petitions for the safe and speedy return of their daughters were sealed with bitter tears.”
And in the wounds and the confusion of a severely tried but uncrumbled faith, they began to retrace the promises of scripture with freshly earnest eyes of real discovery. One mother named Angelina explains in hindsight their adventure of discovery;

“He told us; ’Come unto me all of you who are heavily laden and I will give you rest’, and we wanted that rest, and that rest was that we had to be broken; our pride, our resentment, our fight against our own brothers had to be broken. We realized that unless we were concerned for our fellow man we will not be able to get anything from the living God”.

But this truth was hard to put into actual practice. Angelina learned that her own daughter was now pregnant by the rebels that took her;

“I had such anger in my spirit, I wanted to - if I could - if Kony was around - I would have maybe gone and fight him. And if I hear anybody talking the language of Kony’s people a lot of bitterness and resentment built in my spirit. One day my neighbor had a visitor from that region and he was talking that language, I was so angry with the man, and I just walked to him and said; If my daughter ever came up with a child from Kony I will have throw the child into the subcounty(? illegible) and will never want to see anybody from that place.
But then, the lord in the light told me; Angelina is that why you are praying? then don’t pray, you have not forgiven, you cannot get anything, you have nothing to get. Because bitterness and resentment and anger has clouded your mind.”

The narrator continues; “Stunned by this revelation, Angelina cast herself into a season of earnest repentance. It ended when a young visitor in her home began speaking Acholi”.

The Iron Power of the Destroyers:
“Throughout the 1990’s Uganda’s military grew increasingly frustrated by its inability to subdue the LRA,” to the point that it seemed as if the LRA was going to succeed in overthrowing the Ugandan government. “Given the UPDF’s (Uganda’s military) superior firepower and training, something just didn’t add up.”

“They seemed to get overpowered in a way that you cannot explain rationally.”

“All sorts of mysterious things happened in the battle field.”

“Kony’s elusiveness was especially baffling.”

“The military people told us stories of times when he was more or less surrounded, and they don’t know how he escaped” - James Magara Director of Intercessors for Uganda .

“This war, to me, is not a conventional war; it has a lot of spiritual aspect.”

“It became evident that there was a very strong witchcraft involved.”

“The spiritual foundation of this war was very clearly demonic.”

“This is not an ordinary war, It is the Devil, it is Satan out to finish the Acholis.” - wife of Leukoya and mother of Lakwenna (two of the three figureheads of the demonic power).

“The extent of the destruction done by the rebels cannot be man made.”

“They believe that these evil spirits have much power, and they believe that Kony had such spirits” - the Honorable Yoweri Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda.

It took time for the consensus to become refined enough to actually understand and fully accept that the very real war Uganda faced personally, communally, politically, and militarily, was a demonic war. Such a thing is just too “strange” to actually believe for a normal people caught up in a temporal reality even though the vague concept is quite obvious. But vague concepts have no power. These Christian people were helpless against the very committed focus of the miry rebel leaders to the source of their iron power.
“Many former rebels confirm the LRA’s reliance on witchcraft. One of them, Air Force Brigadier Kenneth Banya, reports that spirit voices routinely informed Kony of government raids.”

“Many former rebels confirm the LRA’s reliance on witchcraft. One of them, Air Force Brigadier Kenneth Banya, reports that spirit voices routinely informed Kony of government raids.”

“Then he would predict when the enemies would come in, and he would tell you the number of the enemies.”- (Former LRA Commander) Air Force Brigadier Kenneth Banya.

“It is because when you get abducted, you immediately get anointed (as he points to the forehead between the eyes), and through that, there is that strong allegiance and commitment, and love and passion, you have to him.”
Suddenly we see a Type of the power in the Mark of the Beast; an anointing into a complete loyalty to the Antichrist that goes beyond human reason:

“And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshiped his image…” Revelation 19:20.

“LRA abductees are told that oil can cure them from any disease, and that sacred water can remove all sin.”
And now I understand my long unexplained aversion to these TV preachers who want to send you vials of sacred oil and holy water, and the Mormons wanting to secretly baptize every American living or dead even without knowledge. These trinkets are but talismans of wickedness in the name of God like the Olympic athletes who in superstitious incantations ask for Jesus to help them win (*2). This is the sin of the Hebrews confidently going to war with the Ark of God leading them, as if by the magic of its location they could not be defeated in war like they were without it (I Samuel 4:3).
Their previous defeat had nothing to do with the proximity of the Ark, but the iniquity in their ranks that defied the Ark even while with them. Yet the talisman gave them confidence to blunder forward to their destruction. The LRA goes still further in mingling elements of the true Christian faith with demons through jointly used symbolism:

“With their recruits duly cleansed of sin, the controllers begin to mix white clay with Shay nut Oil” (It is very curious the symbolic use of clay, and remember “waters” easily includes such oils with “other than water” properties).
“And put crosses (of this clay mixture) all over your body; on your back and your forehead, everywhere crosses.” - Kenneth Banya.
“The children are instructed not to wash for three days” (Specifically Three? Hmmm). “Having been made holy the abductees are now ready to hear from the spirits, and when the spirits want to talk, Joseph Kony becomes their mouthpiece” (as the Son of God).

“When the spirits are talking, you will not know what the spirit has said, but there will always be a secretary, That secretary is always appointed by the spirit. So, he will be given the power to write EVERYTHING that the spirit said, and not miss.” - (Former LRA Commander) Air Force Brigadier Kenneth Banya.

Now while many may blow-off this perspective as religious paranoia, the secular Ugandan government and military was useless against the LRA until they fully accepted that this was indeed a demonic war and took up real spiritual arms to fight it temporally.
* * *

Discovering the Talismans of Power:
“Although Kony frequents ritual sites throughout the northern bush, his spiritual umbilical cord is tied to sacred alters at Awere (Hill) and Kilak Hills.”

“Altars, alters have been put up all over the place, where they made a covenant with the gods. The full measure places sites where these things can be found to confirm these a alter; the water spots, the forests, and then on the rocks, and fourthly on the grave yards. Any time you get a pot with drinking tubes in one of the four areas, it is a sign that that is a alter where a covenant was made there.” - national Rev. Julius P. Oyet.

“From time to time the LRA leader Joseph Kony would have to come back and draw power from here. All his commanders would know and say when his power was draining and he has to come back to Awere Hill.”

“He used to come to those place after every six months, to regain his special power.” - Ugandan Military Commander.

“Superstition, idolatry and witchcraft have stood as the ever-present partners of these unspeakable horrors. They continue to do so today.” So while such talismans and incantation are the vehicles through which the children of Satan get their power, we see that such things are not where the children of God get theirs. And now we begin to get a more clear picture of how similar elements have very different uses to the different waters, and how in ignorance the potter’s clay people with good intentions can become unintentional traitors in aiding the opposition by a wrong application.
* * *

Discovering the Origin of Power:
Through investigation and interview we learn of the specific circumstances that resulted in Kony’s demonic rein of terror and death.
Severino Lukoya, a notorious rebel witchdoctor, cult leader and father of Alice Lakwenna, was born with “the accompaniment of mysterious messengers.” He explains it like this:

“A certain messenger came me in the form of a snake, and that messenger snake had twelve horns, and it passed over my mother.”

“As an adult, Lukoya claims to have been possessed by seventy-one spirits and given control of the heavens and the earth,” (they said;) “I am the spirit of God the Father, I am God the Father; I am that spirit,” explains Lukoya.

So is Severino an actual demonic hybrid child? I would suggest by the evidence that he did not die when the spirits left him, that it appears he himself was only mired clay, though deeply mired by the Miry spirits that possessed him.
Let’s allow the possibility that Lukoya’s mother was actually overshadowed by “messengers” at his birth as alleged, and that he was deeply Mired by his many spirits starting at that time, but let’s presume that he is still “fully human” because his actual conception was by his human father and not apparently by the “messengers,” and so he has from birth additional spirits of unearthly waters to his earthly water spirit that gave him life.
Now he, with his additional spirits, bred with Everina Ayaa, a normal woman, and he had a daughter they named Alice. Could the conception of this child be assisted by his spirits to produce an actual hybrid offspring? No, although surely he passed on of his demonic waters along with his DNA. It is just too easy to jump the track and imagine the hand-arching supernatural of vague spiritual alchemy, but demon possession is just that; demon possession. And if we treat these victims as our enemies we fail the grace of God.

In 1985 Alice Alma (Lakwenna) received a calling and went to Cairo to converse with the spirits for a month “under the waters of the Nile” (Exodus 7:19 with a new perspective; wood and stone but not clay). When she returned and completed her initiation her mother says; “She had powers; she was healing people.” And “a year later Alice proclaimed herself under the orders of a Christian spirit named Lakwenna or ‘messenger’ (*3). With the support of her father Severino Lukoya, she proceeded to launch the ‘Holy Spirit Movement’; a rag tag band whose fanaticism very nearly overthrew the Ugandan government.” But she was defeated and fled to Kenya.
Her father, having the compatible spirits, then tried to take up her calling but could not, and so he returned to Gulu and established a cult shrine. His wife says;
“I have refused to enter that alter, I don’t even want to know what they are doing inside there. For me I just know that claim of his is demonic, and that is how I have lost all my children. He has brought the demonic spirit in my home and it has finished my children.” (I think it is important to note that while Lukoya had the spirits claiming to be God the Father, his daughter had the spirits claiming to be the Holy Ghost of the Father).

“After the defeat of Leukoya and Lakwenna, the self-proclaimed voices of God the Father and God the Holy Ghost, their spiritual mantel was picked up by twenty-five year old cousin Joseph Kony, claiming to be the Son of God. Kony emerged as the final member of Uganda’s trinity of evil. His vicious gorilla force was called The Lord’s Resistance Army or LRA.”
And “to the LRA’s ascended prophet, bloodshed was not only appropriate it was essential”;
“He also told us that he would kill because the people have sinned, that’s why he killed them” - Former Young Slave Wife.

“And to this day, he believes he is a clean man, and has not done anything wrong.”

Isn’t it eerily remarkable that this Jesus’ (Isa) thirst for bloodshed against “sinners” so accurately reflects that of modern Islam…which itself is a perversion of Jehovah’s scriptures, or that watching the lethargic suffering of the malnourished marching captives is so reminiscent of the Jews in Hitler’s concentration camps. This complex confusion is exactly why Jude declared:

“Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves” Jude 1:9-10.

And this is also why king Hezekiah instructed all the people not to answer a word to the emissary of the Assyrian king who claimed that instead of defending them, God was both unable to help them, and had sent him to destroy them (II Kings 18:17-36). The complexities were just too complex to answer and so a mute faith in God was the right reply (Acts 8:32), though at the time it was not looking favorable:

“It seems God has abandon us, it seems we have done something terrible and that’s why these people are abducting us. I used to think that maybe God has forgotten about us.” - Former Young Slave Wife.

Is this unholy trinity a trio of hybrids? Does it really matter at this point? They did a great job of bringing a Genesis 6:5 Noah’s Day kind of violence to the country of Uganda. This is the kind of violence that will cover the whole earth before God finally destroys it a second time, and this is the kind of violence that Islam claims they must bring before their messiah will return! We all agree there will be violence, but who is the god of the violence? (Luke 17:1).

But if God is going to destroy the earth because of this kind of violence, then what about all the innocent recipients of the violence, why destroy them too?
Ahh! Now that is the sixty-four million dollar question.

So what did Angelina learn when a guest in her home began to speak Acholi?
“That language started to ring in my ears like music. And then - it was then that I realized I have really forgiven. And it was then that I rose up to (illegible) and reconciliation and forgiveness, Amongst parents even forgiving the very people who abducted our children.”

“And I say Lord, I forgive Kony, I forgive Ortee, I forgive the rebel leaders. I forgive them with all my heart. I forgive all those who have abducted my daughter, I forgive them and I set them free, and Lord I pray that, Open a door where’s no door, that they may come out of the bush, in the name of Jesus’” - Mother of an abducted girl.

“We cried to the Lord, and we covenanted with him, and we said; ‘We are not going to consult another god. We are going to wait upon you, whether we see all the children or not. But we will wait upon you” - Angelina.

“We said; ‘There is no, no body who will rescue them apart from God” - Sarah.

“The character of these Christian families became a shining testimony of God’s grace.”
“And then they had an amazing way of living with the difficulty, they are so strong.”
“Now known as the Concerned Parents Association; an energetic child advocacy network, the families have become a source of mutual strength.”

What happened, not so much by information as by experience, was a genuine active faith of strength that sprang out of deep need (Luke 18:7-9). And since we recently studied the nature of iron strength, we know that it can be strength for good or for evil, depending on the waters of the iron. This is where the information becomes vitally important.
Now that their faith was more than vague religion, they had a real, iron strength of God to battle the real, iron strength of Satan! (Daniel 7:21-22, and chapter 10), and the weapons of their iron were completely different than Kony’s, except to note that both had clay, both had iron, and both had waters, the difference was in the conditions of each element and the sources of the waters that mixed them.

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” II Corinthians 10:3-5.

Have you ever handled a weapon that you are unfamiliar with? It might as well not be a weapon at all! So it is with the weapons described above, because until these become a part of you by diligent and earnest practice, they are just so many useless words in a war against guns and knives!
A sure sign of an unskilled user is a Christian who immediately tries to apply these weapons on the enemy first. While they do have a very real application there, the first application is on the user, where our own imaginations and many high things claim a greater usefulness than the knowledge of God. These weapons are first used to bring those destructive thoughts and imaginations into captivity where they cannot spread their poison of ineffectiveness.

“But what about the innocent?”
Is ignorance of something you should know, a description of innocence? Hardly. Innocence is ignorance of something you should not know, Guilt is ignorance of something that you should know but don’t. It didn’t matter that their parents never taught them, Jesus declared punishment on the ignorant Jews for not knowing the day that he presented himself king in Jerusalem:

“And when he was come near, he beheld the city, and wept over it, saying, If thou hadst known, even thou, at least in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy peace! But now they are hid from thine eyes. For the days shall come upon thee, that thine enemies shall cast a trench about thee, and compass thee round, and keep thee in on every side, and shall lay thee even with the ground, and thy children within thee; and they shall not leave in thee one stone upon another; because thou knewest not the time of thy visitation” Luke 19:41-44.

And only a few decades later Jerusalem was destroyed and the Jews were scattered by the Romans never to return until 1948!
Why was the Judge Jesus Christ Just, in such a horrific Capitol Punishment of the entire people group of ignorant along with the wicked? Because they were obligated to know what they were ignorant of. The religiously faithful to God were not innocent, though they had no idea what they had done wrong. Look to their parents for why. Their error of not knowing was due to an adulterated understanding of the true scriptures that faithfully told them the exact day that the messiah would come:

“Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troubled times” Daniel 9:25.

True; It’s not a very simple calculation, what with the changing of the length of the calendar year from 360 to 365 days, the addition of periodic leap-years, the re-structuring of the whole calendar, and the several close but not quite commandments regarding the temple but not the city…Yet true it is, and obligated they were to know it (*3).
Vague and casual religion, even if it is of the True and Living God, is not sufficient. But in a time of peace that truth is not easily seen; such truth only appears obvious in a conflict with the darkness, and only after a lengthy period of intense suffering while figuring it out. Outside observers are incapable of seeing the truth that is discovered in the suffering.

“In the beginning, in the south, we would not pay much attention, because they say; ‘we suffered so much because of them soldiers from the North’, now their own children are killing them, It’s not our business.”

“For a long time people were saying; ‘Oh, those Acholis are finishing themselves.”

“At a time when spiritual guidance was needed the most, even Uganda’s churches lost their courage, and their voices”:

“Even believers no longer believed God’s power could help in this situation. It was like their minds were bewitched.”

“The church has not been very active, unfortunately. This explains why this problem has taken this long.”

What a Mirror-of-Reflection to see such a reality directly reflecting our own powerless American Christian faith looking back at us as we blankly observe the dark storm approaching our own shores...And for the world to likewise see the same powerless Christian faith on a global scale against rising Islam!

“The protracted nature of the conflict has brought devastating consequences:”

“There is a whole generation that does not know peace. People born, and they are twenty years old, even going to twenty-five years, who were babies when it all started, they don’t know peace. They don’t know who they are. They don’t know why things happen this way. Some of them do not even know God, they have grown up in fear and superstition.”

“More than 1.6 million people; 85% of Northern Uganda’s entire population have been displaced. Most now live in squalid make-shift settlements known as; ‘Internally Displaced Peoples Camps.’”

It is impossible not to see the repeating pattern of Hitler’s internal Concentration camps or the internal Islamic peoples camps called Palestinian refugees rejected from among their own nations. The cyclic nature of history is screaming for us to recognize the repeating pattern and learn how to address it properly to defend the defenseless even if they are the very ones doing the destruction.

And then there is the permanent social destruction, born of the war, that continues to grow even after the war is passed. It becomes another nearly unwinnable war of its own because the ignorantly damaged do not see their failed part in their original circumstances of victimization and so turn to the self-destructive vices of hopeless purposelessness in the aftermath.

This is not a conventional war, and we will not win it with conventional means:
So now, “IF there really is a God, why does he allow all the suffering?”

It’s not his job to stop it; it is the job of his Church to stop it with his Unique “Iron-like Power” of Christ’s Love that he has made available to us.
But because the Church won’t take up that battle and use it, America is about to fall to the Northern Ugandan horrors with a uniquely American presentation. And the suffering will be protracted because the Church of the Savior Jesus Christ has been bewitched to think that God’s power cannot be applied in such a situation. God has not abandon us; we have abandon God!
Buy the DVD and own the suffering in order to comprehend the solution even before it is fully experienced, they have shown us the way at a very great cost! America does not need to fall if Christ’s Church would repent to receive God’s Power and enter the war as saints with intent to win it in the nature of Christ!

“My People are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
As they were increased, so they sinned against me: therefore will I change their glory into shame. They eat up the sin of my people, and they set their heart on their iniquity. And there shall be, like people, like priest: and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them their doings” Hosea 4:6-9.

In their national scale revival type meetings of preparation to enter this war to win, the “innocent” “Christians” in mass would run to the front, emptying their pockets of all their familiar witchcraft paraphernalia onto the stage as they turned to Jesus for real.

One minister reports; “I mean, I could SEE that they came back to their senses, like something has been torn- like there was a blanket of darkness that was torn apart and suddenly they could see.”

Until then, the innocent were not as innocent as imagined. Of a truth, God was Just in his early destruction of these “innocents” but in reality the destruction was in their own weakness of faith against the great evil.

“And THOUSANDS came, Thousands upon thousands of people came from different parts of the North to listen to the gospel”.

“Thousands of people gave their lives to the Lord”.

And “coincidentally” the tide of the physical war immediately turned at the same time, to the point that the President of Uganda and his top military leaders took council with evangelist Rev. Oyet, and through the resulting education and the understanding of the government leadership, the government was spiritually united with the general Church of Jesus Christ in a singular advance against Satan’s forces.

“When you find a leadership that understands the sovereignty of God, and begins to turn to God for the solutions of the things they can't solve, then you get this very strategic partnership between Church and State… It’s not State running Church or Church to run State; it’s the bringing together of the spiritual and the physical to work together for a common cause.”

And in this unified coalition of Church and State they went out to these sacred sites and reclaimed them by destroying the alter elements and praying Christ’s redemption over them (*5).

“Colossians 1:20 says that through his blood he chose to redeem all things, we usually think of it as just salvation but it’s more than that; the blood of Jesus redeems land as well.”

“The power bases had been destroyed and the witchcraft activities had been cut off, and I knew this man is going to loose power.”

“As prayer went on Kony himself began to communicate to his commanders that the spirits have left him.”

“And then he said, I have to tell you today that now the spirit have left. They will not come back” - (Former LRA Commander) Air Force Brigadier Kenneth Banya.

“From that day effectively we began to ambush those people and get them and crush them” - Uganda military leader.

“After years of seeming invincibility, Kony’s magic had finally worn off.”
“He had to flee back into Sudan.”

But as scripture abundantly shows, even in victory there are further dangers lurking to draw you back in, which must be avoided by faith. Buy the DVD and study it for campaign strategies against the Devil, both nationally and personally, their very current experience of the 2004 victory follows the detail of ancient scripture amazingly. Now their faith is no longer vague, it is who they are: the personal children of the Living God! (*6).

(*3) Believe What They Say?
Not to side track the narrative of Uganda but today there are many American ministers come in the name of Christ, the Father, and/or the Holy Spirit, who perform miraculous healings to validate their claims. But are they then certainly of God or could they be imposters of the Devil? As wisely evidenced by the mother in this comment; the answer is in the fruit, but sometimes that fruit takes a while to present…especially when you are not familiar with qualified fruit inspection practices (Matthew 7:16-20, Ezekiel 34:27-28, I Corinthians 6:2-3, 5:11-13). Curious; Mohammad is also called Messenger.

As the light began to dawn, a new perspective comes to bear on people in governmental positions of power:

“I don’t believe this war is political.”

In reply to their claim to be of God; “Whatever they have been doing is actually, according to the teaching of the scriptures, really directly serving the powers of darkness.”

“They, they are, they are powers through witchcraft” - Col. Nathan Mugisha, Commander, 4th Division, UPDF.

“They claim to be in the light but are in darkness. “ - Capt. James Serunjogi, Ugandan People’s Defence Forces.

“The LRA war is a psychological war; they use fear, they instill in these children fear, a lot of fear“ - Denis Oruk Former Administrator of Word Vision Gulu.

While blinded by a perceptional division between the temporal and the spiritual, the source of the power cannot be comprehended and therefore cannot be conquered because it is powered where you consider impossible.
This perceptional division is the singular intent of American Movies and TV as we watch things presented in a very real image, that don’t affect our reality. The effectiveness of this perceptional-division-training is shown in our every day lives as we practice sin in iniquity while believing that we are spiritually guiltless. We have disconnected the one from the other as being in two different worlds. Faith has been segregated to the enteratainment of our imaginations, which though enjoyable and comforting, has no place in reality.

(*4) Who has that kind of time?
Do you balk against the obvious amount of time it would take to learn these things of the scriptures? Sadly, that is just more clear sign that you really don’t have a clue as to what God meant when he said;

“Blessed is the man…(whose) delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doeth he meditate day and night” Psalm 1:1-2.
Or;
“Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” Psalm 119:11.
Or;
“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” Colossians 3:16.

Our founding fathers understood this truth and this is why they established government funded schools where the word of God could be learned through the skill of reading and then hours put in at school studying the scriptures.
Kony has no problem devoting his life to his god, and Islam the same with theirs, but you? “Who has time?” Are you ready for the bloodbath of the “innocent,” with leaders (parents) that don’t know what went wrong or how to solve it? Perhaps you will find the time then, at a very high cost to learn it.

(*5) Church and State?
Can you now see the specifically demonic power here in America that has patiently and methodically indoctrinated the people to abandon their own Church-and-State coalition that was carefully entwined and then protected by our founders at the birth of this nation? (*5b). The powers of darkness were powerless against this land until they succeeded in getting us in beguilement to cast up a wall of separation between them, and then convinced us that at all costs they should never be allowed to rejoin.
America has successfully stripped herself of her only rescue!
