Early morning I was reading in Jeremiah and the 8th verse stood out to me among others and this whole chapter reminds me of this nation. Then the Lord reminded me of what I read in Amanda Buys yesterday that Freemasonry is BAAL worship. The other day I sent out a renouncement prayer for Baal worship, and I don’t know how many took it seriously but we need to.

Jer 2:1-9 AMP   AND THE word of the Lord came to me [Jeremiah], saying, 2 Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says the Lord: I [earnestly] remember the kindness and devotion of your youth, your love after your betrothal [in Egypt] and marriage [at Sinai] when you followed Me in the wilderness, in a land not sown.  3 Israel was holiness [something set apart from ordinary purposes, dedicated] to the Lord, the firstfruits of His harvest [of which no stranger was allowed to partake]; all who ate of it [injuring Israel] offended and became guilty; evil came upon them, says the Lord.

4 Hear the word of the Lord, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel. 5 Thus says the Lord: What unrighteousness did your fathers find in Me, that they went far from Me and [habitually] went after emptiness, falseness, and futility and themselves became fruitless and worthless? 6 Nor did they say, Where is the Lord, Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and pits, through a land of drought and of the shadow of death and deep darkness, through a land that no man passes through and where no man dwells?

7 And I brought you into a plentiful land to enjoy its fruits and good things. But when you entered, you defiled My land and made My heritage an abomination [detestable and loathsome]. 8  [Even] the priests did not say, Where is the Lord? And those who handle the law [given by God to Moses] knew Me not. The rulers and secular shepherds also transgressed against Me, and the prophets prophesied by [the authority and in the name of] Baal and followed after things that do not profit. 9 Therefore I will still contend with you [by inflicting further judgments on you], says the Lord, and with your children's children will I contend.

Below Amanda spells out part of her treatise on Baal:

Quotes from Amanda Buys – from:  Fertility Cults Devour Blessings:

“In Babylon, Baal and Astarte worship was a fertility cult, and as we indicated earlier, Astarte was the goddess of the Sidonians that brought forth a Babylonian conception. The symbol of this cult is the crescent moon and twelve stars above her head and paradoxically, as the goddess of virginity, also the symbol of the white dove.

The Cow and the Bull
Cow and bull worship is the practice of fertility cults and harlotry. It encourages having a harem, and "not wanting to make covenant". This is Baal worship.  Freemasonry is worship of the Bull / Baal. The fertility cult at the very least is infidelity in the mind and in the thoughts, as well as in action.  Baal is even using some devices for sexual perversion i.e. sex toys, etc.
In Genesis, Laban was the father of Rachel and Leah and a worshipper of the teraphim gods or idols of phallic worship that brought barrenness. …”

“Baal is Sun Worship and Moon Worship”….[she goes into that, but I am leaving it out.]

“The tragedy is that every nation and kingdom is bound by bull worship, sun and moon worship and worship of the phallic. BAAL / Bull Worship comes with Horrific Consequences  The Druids worship a spotted cow and the milk is used for communion.
Baal was the principal deity of the land.
Moon god (silver)   - primarily female
Isis
Astarte (bull's horns)
Asherah
Cybele
Diana
Ishtar
Artemis
Ashteroth
It was he who was in charge of the rain and the weather, and man's survival was
dependent upon Baal's provision.  The cult of Baal celebrated annually his death and resurrection as a part of the Canaanite fertility rituals. These ceremonies often included human sacrifice and temple prostitution. Baal means husband or lord. Unlike the Godly concept, he represents the totality of a broken covenant. He has cruel weapons such as:
- A lightning bolt
- Bulls horns to gore
- verbal cruelty,
- verbal intimidation,
- mental cruelty and
- mental torture.

Manifestations of the spirit of Baal:
a) Nazi’s:
Hinduism and Buddhism are based on Baal bull worship. Hitler visited India and Tibet, and was greatly influenced by Hinduism and Buddhism. He believed Germany was an "Aryan Race" - a race that was superior and a race that was pure. The Aryans were "nobles". Hitler was declared the Hindu god Vishnu and preserver of purity of the Aryan race. { pris…hmmm similar declaration over our president that he is Egyptian god “ }

The symbol of Hitler's regime, the swastika goes back to the roots of Hinduism where the symbol is used on the threshold of doors in Hinduism. It represents also the destructive goddess Kali.  
           [ I was told it also represents all religions are one” – Pris ]
Jainism traces its roots to a succession of 24 Jinas ("those who overcome", or conqueror) in ancient East India. The cross represents the sun god or fire - Jainism. The swastika still continues today to be an extensively used sign in Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism.

In Buddhism, a swastika represents resignation.
In Jainism, it delineates their seventh saint, and the four arms are also used to remind the worshiper of the four possible places of rebirth; the animal or plant world, in Hell, on Earth, or in the spirit world.
To Hindus, the swastika with the arms bent to the left is called the sathio or sauvastika, which symbolizes night, magic, purity, and the destructive goddess Kali. In both Hinduism and Jainism, the swastika or sathio is used to mark the opening pages or their account books, thresholds, doors, and offerings. The swastika was a symbol for the Aryan people, a name which, in Sanskrit means "noble".

Hitler’s Army:
The manifestation of the worship of the bull under the Hitler's army was cruelty,
rape, humiliation and shame, taken into the concentration camps and murdered
by the Baal warriors. Mutilation and the genocide of a nation is the bigger picture of Baal that will rise with the Antichrist spirit. Hitler also had a Secret Service of underground silence and secrecy. The lightening bolt of the false warrior will produce silence on the tongue. When praying about being released from Baal worship through Nazism in your bloodline, remember to cut yourself free from the following:
• the spirit of Baal connected to Hitler.
• the weapons of Baal and the lightning bolt of Baal.
• the regalia of the black arm-bands of priest, king and death.

The Nazi spirit it must be broken off the church and its wicked belief of being a
"pure Aryan race", when still bound by Baal. If you have Germanic roots or Indian
roots, you have to deal with the Nazi spirit.

b) African people:
Shaka Zulu:  On the battlefield, he developed the now-famous "horns of the bull" formation (a two-pronged attack) to encircle his enemies.

Circumcision rituals:
The young men that all have to go through the circumcision ritual to be acknowledged as “a man” by their tribe and their culture, they go through a very rough ordeal. The circumcision is done by the Sangoma appointed by the leaders of the tribe. The same knife is used on every young man and not sterilized at all. Straight after the cutting of the foreskin has taken place, the Sangoma will take a handful of cow dung and rub it onto the raw wound.

The Herero headdresses in Namibia:
The women from the Herero tribe go to great lengths to fold and shape the horns of a cow as a headdress which they proudly wear every day. This is part of the ancient roots of Africa coming from Egypt – the worship of Isis, the Moon cow goddess.
[ You may have noticed many women here wearing such.]

c) Spain and Bull fighting
Bullfighting traces its roots to prehistoric bull worship and sacrifice. The killing of the sacred bull (tauromachy) is the essential central iconic act of Mithras, which was commemorated in the mithraeum wherever Roman soldiers were stationed.  Many of the oldest bullrings in Spain are located on the sites of, or adjacent to the locations of temples to Mithras.

Consequences for Worshipping Baal
Bull worship / phallic worship can take us into torment of the mind, sexual torment, obsessions, and tormenting burning lusts. Baal, bull worship, in our family line takes us through open doors to homicide - suddenly, and without warning.

The god Baal (of war) and Queen of Heaven (of love) represented by Mars and Venus:
These two false gods represent the maximum degree of uncleanness, sexual immorality and OCCULT LUST.  In this fertility cult, fornication and adultery are encouraged and are even commanded while bi-sexuality, sodomy, lesbianism, harlotry, prostitution and transsexual activity and the duality of sexes are all part of the cult.

Devotees of this cult in Baal worship shaved off their hair, only leaving a crown on the top – (no whiskers or beard.) The women involved in this wicked cult called themselves "Sacred" or "undefiled" women. The sacrifice of chastity was commanded, and unnatural lusts were required.

Back to JEREMIAH:

Jer 2:10 For cross over to the coasts of Cyprus [to the west] and see, send also to Kedar [to the east] and carefully consider; and see whether there has been such a thing as this ; 11 Has a nation [ever] changed its gods, even though they are not gods? But My people have changed their Glory [God] for that which does not profit.

Changed it’s “gods” – even though they are not gods…ie freemasons worship Baphoment, Brahma, Buddha, Allah, Horus, Anubis….these are not gods, but DEMONS.  You cannot drink the cup of God and the cup of demons:
1 Cor 10:21-22 NKJV  You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons; you cannot partake of the Lord's table and of the table of demons. 22 Or do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? Are we stronger than He?

Jer 2:12 Be astonished and appalled, O heavens, at this; be shocked and shrivel up with horror, says the Lord [at the behavior of the people]. 13 For My people have committed two evils: they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of living waters, and they have hewn for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns which cannot hold water.
14 Is Israel a servant? Is he a homeborn slave? Why has he become a captive and a prey? 15 The young lions have roared over him and made their voices heard. And they have made his land a waste; his cities are burned ruins without inhabitant.

Fascination with angels and worshipping angels brings divination…not Holy Spirit. We acknowledge angels are working for sure but our attention should be on GOD, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.  Freemasonry is a CISTERN…a toilet of idolatry.

Jer 2:16 Moreover, the children of Memphis and Tahpanhes (Egypt) [have in times past shown their power as a foe; they] have broken and fed on the crown of your head [Israel]--so do not rely on them as an ally now. 17 Have you not brought this upon yourself by forsaking the Lord your God when He led you in the way?

God has been so good to AMERICA, but we have forsaken HIM and gone whoring like the world after other gods.

Jer 2:18 And now what have you to gain by allying yourself with Egypt and going her way, to drink the [black and roiled] waters of the Nile? Or what have you to gain in going the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the Euphrates?  19 Your own wickedness shall chasten and correct you, and your backslidings and desertion of faith shall reprove you. Know therefore and recognize that this is an evil and bitter thing: [first,] you have forsaken the Lord your God; [second,] you are indifferent to Me and the fear of Me is not in you, says the Lord of hosts.

There is NO fear of the LORD in Freemasonry. They are bowing to ANUBIS, and other Egyptian gods, so how are we different.  The Southern Baptist convention allows freemasons, the Baptists allow freemasons and many other churches, even charismatic have allowed this mixture such that it is not surprising that KUNDALINI , which roots were in Egypt before it came to INDIA and BUDDHISM. THINK how many of you have ever heard it even preached about in our churches ??? 

There's this children's game called "Peggle". At it's top level the character is an owl I think with Buddhist name, and the two rows of dots wiggle like a snake on both sides like in KUNDALINI power when it's explained.  It was obvious that this was training for children in the ways of Buddhism and occult things. One level Is a pumpkin with weird powers. In the different levels you throw out fire balls like in Tai Chi, or power balls...at the lower levels it SEEMS innocent enough, but as it goes along it gets more and more obvious what they are doing. There is mixture in EVERYTHING we are exposed to anymore.

Never in 22 years have I heard anyone speak on the evils of Freemasonry or much on witchcraft for that matter.  And WHY ? Because they are in the pulpits, in the prophetic ministry, in the evangelists, in the Pentacostal and mainline churches in abundance.  The vineyard church first met in a Masonic temple. One of John Wimbers friends let them meet there.  I’m not saying the whole movement is corrupted, just stating fact.  Why did Chuck Smith who was spearheading revival in Orange county suddenly remove any manifesting people to another room, and remove all evidence of deliverance out of the public eye ?  Why are we ashamed of the HOLY SPIRIT ? Crystal Cathedral pastor has close ties to freemasons, and so does the largest church in Orange County…Rick Warren’s.  He's a member of the CFR.

I was going to a chiropracter who “used to be” mormon, and now was attending Rick Warren’s church. The Lord provoked me to ask him, how did you get free of the Mormonism?  His answer was revealing. He said, he found his experience with Father, Son and Holy Spirit no different in the Christian church than in Mormonism. So he was never led to renounce Mormonism which is rooted in FREEMASONRY.

Jer 2:20 For long ago [in Egypt] I broke your yoke and burst your bonds [not that you might be free, but that you might serve Me] and long ago you shattered the yoke and snapped the bonds [of My law which I put upon you]; you said, I will not serve and obey You! For upon every high hill and under every green tree you [eagerly] prostrated yourself [in idolatrous worship], playing the harlot.

Hinduism and Buddhism, and Islam now are being taught in schools and children are forced to practice their rituals in order to “learn tolerance”.  This practice is not ONLY in the Worldly institutions, but in a Presbyterian Church in town, the junior high children were being taught that “all paths lead to God”, and they are learning about all these religions and told they all can lead to salvation. Wave that swastika, Hitler would be proud !

Acts 4:11-12 NKJV   This is the 'stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.'   12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved."

Jer 2:21 Yet I had planted you [O house of Israel] a choice vine, wholly of pure seed. How then have you turned into degenerate shoots of wild vine alien to Me?  22 For though you wash yourself with lye and use much soap, yet your iniquity and guilt are still [upon you; you are] spotted, dirty, and stained before Me, says the Lord.  23 How can you say, I am not defiled; I have not gone after the Baals [other gods]? Look at your way in the valley; know what you have done. You are a restive young female camel [in the uncontrollable violence of her brute passion eagerly] running hither and thither,
Note the references to harlotry and fertility cult images…
24 Or [you have the untamed and reckless nature of] a wild donkey used to the desert, in her heat sniffing the wind [for the scent of a male]. In her mating season who can restrain her? No males seeking her need weary themselves; in her month they will find her [seeking them].  25[Cease from your mad running after idols, from which you get nothing but bitter injury.] Keep your feet from being unshod and your throat from thirst. But you said, It is hopeless! For I have loved strangers and foreigners, and after them I will go.

26 As the thief is brought to shame when he is caught, so shall the house of Israel be brought to shame--they, their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets—

Prophets prophesy for money, prophets prophesy by their own heart, by divination mixed with a tidbit from God, because they have not renounced the sins of the fathers nor been healed, nor kept the LORD first in their hearts.

Jer 2:27 [Inasmuch as] they say to a tree, You are my father, and to a stone, You gave me birth. For they have turned their backs to Me and not their faces; but in the time of their trouble, they say, Arise [O Lord] and save us!

This is what people have done in disasters, and in this nation will no doubt do. Trees and stones are what idols are made from, so Buddha and Krishna, and other teraphim have replaced GOD in the hearts of many. People rationalize practicing YOGA in the church, or mixing astrology with Christianity like Dr. Phil and his wife promoting alternative religious therapies…or hypnotherapy - Which bring entrance for demons.

Jer 2:28 But where are your gods that you made for yourself? Let them arise if they can save you in the time of your trouble! For [as many as] the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah. [Surely so many handmade idols should be able to help you!]
29 Why do you complain and remonstrate against My wrath? You all have rebelled and revolted against Me, says the Lord.

Note how GOD mocks. Indeed as a nation overall, we have many, many gods. Why should we complain when we do nothing to preach the KINGDOM or DEMONSTRATE IT either ?  WE don’t challenge the demons like Elijah did. Is it not TIME to ARISE OH LORD, and let GOD’s ENEMIES BE SCATTERED ? It says in ROMANS, how will they KNOW without a preacher ? IT’S TIME TO USE OUR AUTHORITY, once we repent and turn, in order to lead others out of bondage and slavery.

Jer 2:30 In vain have I stricken your children (your people); they received no discipline (no correction). Your own sword devoured your prophets like a destroying lion. 31  O generation [that you are]! Behold, consider, and regard the word of the Lord: Have I been a wilderness to Israel [like a land without food]? A land of deep darkness [like a way without light]? Why do My people say, We have broken loose [we are free and will roam at large]; we will come no more to You? 32 Can a maid forget and neglect [to wear] her ornaments, or a bride her [marriage] girdle [with its significance like that of a wedding ring]? Yet My people have forgotten Me, days without number. 33 How you deck yourself and direct your way to procure [adulterous] love! Because of it even wicked women have learned [indecent] ways from you.

And get this one below…on your skirts are found lifeblood of the persons of the innocent poor…murder of the innocent and abortion being one of the biggest transgressions here in America who wants only what is convenient.  But there is also plenty of murder of others through injustice as well, and murder is on the rise here.  Rape and abuse of women is at an all time high. It is portrayed in the TV shows in a violent way, no holes barred.  Mutilation and violence has increased in movies and shows.  One new movie has men going around repossessing organs of people’s bodies,
Cutting them out because they can’t pay their bills for the surgeries. It is GROTESQUE in the advertisement, and this is in prime time when children are watching.

Jer 2:34 Also on your skirts is found the lifeblood of the persons of the innocent poor; you did not find them housebreaking, nor have I found it out by secret search. But it is because of [your lust for idolatry that you have done] all these things--[that is everywhere evident.]  35 Yet you keep saying, I am innocent; surely His anger has turned away from Me. Behold, I will bring you to judgment and will plead against you because you say, I have not sinned.

THERE MUST BE REPENTANCE ! We think we can just say a quick one time prayer, and it’s all done. We don’t want to face our sins, nor truly REPENT or pay any restitution, but God is watching and not blind to the state of our sin.  WE are bathed in dung in America and we are so PROUD, that we party instead of pray, and we listen to smooth words rather than REPENT. We hate those who remind us of our sins, as if God is not merciful, and as if God is not all seeing or all knowing. As if God is NOT good.  Our unbelief is a stench in his nostrils and a slap in His face. Yet we go on pretending all is ok. Reason is far from us, there is blindness on the church because of all this and we don’t even realize it. For years prophets have warned. For years prophets have prayed and wept, and agonized, and tried to confront and gotten bludgeoned for it. NOW GOD WILL ARISE. NOW GOD will take things in HIS HANDS. Praise the LORD !

Jer 2:36 Why do you gad or wander about so much to change your way? You shall be put to shame by Egypt as you were put to shame by Assyria. 37 From [Egypt] also you will come away with your hands upon your head, for the Lord has rejected those in whom you confide, and you will not prosper with [respect to] them.

There will be gross betrayal for America, it was seen long ago. Those in whom we confide will NOT support us in the end, as we have not only brought the gospel to nations, but we have also brought our whoredoms and misrepresentation of who GOD IS!  We have brought perversions and raped and pillaged nations economically and medically devastated many with our vaccines and drugs, and GMO foods, with our lies and misrepresentations. And we have gone to nations and made disciples like Jesus said who are 10 X worse than Pharisees. We have trusted in Arab nations and Chinese for our wealth, and paid them back with betrayal. God sees, and GOD judges, even if the American people CHOOSE to remain ignorant!!!  ALL WILL BE UNCOVERED.
