I wonder how many of you know what Mary Magdalene and I have have in common? Well, the answer is, we both had a demon. Also, in both our cases, the demons were cast out.

It bothers me a little bit to admit it, because I don't recall any Christian leader making such an admission. Nevertheless, it is true of me. I'm talking about it now because the Lord is pressing it out of me. Thanks be to God that he pressed that demon out of me years ago.

"Well, Stephen, what demon was cast out of you?"

A mind blinding spirit was cast out of me!

Look at 2 Corinthians 4:3-4: "But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them."

Notice from this scripture that this little-g-god hides the gospel. They are lost. This little-g-god is IN them. Because he is IN them, the light of the glorious gospel of Christ cannot shine in unto them.

For three and 1/2 years, I carried an NIV bible and a King James Bible, but I also carried a Book of Mormon. If you had told me that I had a little-g-god demon inside of me, blinding my mind, I would have laughed in your face. I did not feel like I had a demon. I did not feel lost. I was not unhappy. I thought that I had the whole truth and nothing but the truth. I thought that all of you were lost and needed what I had. Nevertheless, I had that demon, inside of my mind, keeping my mind from obtaining light from the gospel. Certain scriptures were there, right in front of me, and I could not gain sufficient understanding to be delivered from error that seems so clear and obvious to me now.

It is said of Mary Magdalene, that she loved Jesus more than anyone. It is also said that he who has been forgiven much, loves much, and that is also said of Mary. I feel the same. I know that my Lord did not have to deliver me from that devil, but I am so glad that he did. I'm forever grateful for the insight and discernment that I now have. I'm so grateful and proud of the fact that I know with a certainty that, without the precious atoning blood of Jesus Christ, I would in no way enter heaven. I'm so grateful to God that I now know that no amount of works will ever justify me before God. That leads me to Sabbath Keeping.

Today, I received two emails. One from Kay Lynn Manker, asking me if I had been a Mormon. The answer, Kay Lynn, is yes. The other is from a person who sometimes posts to Watchman Seers Network. I'll not give his name. He did not make any statement contradicting any position I have put forth, but he simply said that I lacked discernment and was leading people astray. In his email "attack", he assaulted my position that the antichrist, or son of perdition, will be a literal human being. He gave me a link to an ebook called "National Sunday Law".

Now for those of you who are unitiated, this is a book that advances the positions of the "Sabbath Keepers". Among these are the Seventh Day Adventists and the Sabbath Keeping Church of God.

The position advanced by these "Sabbath Keepers" is that the papacy fulfills all the predictions in the bible concerning the antichrist. What I'm going to talk about now is something that you are probably not aware of.

This book advances the argument that the "mark of the beast" is Sunday Worship. In other words, any of you who worship on Sunday? You have already taken the mark of the beast and you are receiving the final warning to repent, or you are consigned to hell. This is the position of the Sabbath Keepers, and they preach it with great fervency.

At this point, I'll make a few statements. First of all, I have really taken it easy on the cults in the past. I don't talk much about them, but as of today, the Lord is changing that. We like to soft shoe and pussy foot around these bible carrying cults. We don't want to offend anyone, do we? After all, they believe in Jesus, don't they? Well, no they don't, actually.

A Mormon for example believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of Elohim. A Mormon who really knows his Mormon religion believes that Jesus Christ was once a man, who became a God. He also knows that if he obeys a whole bunch of rules, including the practice of polygamy in the spirit realm, he can become a god too. Therefore, to the Mormon, Jesus is a little-g-god, not the LORD GOD. To be saved, a person must believe that JESUS is the LORD GOD. (Romans 10:9-10) Therefore, Mormonism and the mind blinding demon that comes with it holds a person back from salvation through belief in Jesus Christ. We need to tell people who believe this that they are on the road to hell. We need to pray for them too that they might be delivered.

Well, then, what of the Sabbath Keepers? They believe in Jesus Christ, don't they? Well, no it turns out that they don't really.

First of all, that little-g-god mind blinding spirit has blinded their minds so that they cannot comprehend a very clear scripture that is found in Colossians 2:16, which tells us that we are to "let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the SABBATH DAY."

What possible reason can there be for their failure to understand that my refusal to keep a SABBATH DAY according to Old Testament law will never be held against me. No man is allowed to judge me with respect to any SABBATH DAY. Certainly, God will not judge me either with respect to any SABBATH DAY, because he has instructed men, through his holy apostle Paul, to not judge any man according to any SABBATH DAY. These SABBATH KEEPERS will not only judge me, but consign all of us to hell because we fail to keep the law of the SABBATH DAY. How then, can they possibly believe that Sunday worship constitutes the taking of the mark of the beast? The only possible answer is: THEY HAVE A DEMON!.

If you are reading this and you are a SABBATH KEEPER, who believes in line with what I have described above, you are in danger of hell fire. Repent Now!

Strong words, you say? Paul spoke them even stronger than I do.

The book of Galatians is Pauls letter to all people who would, after having been quickened, by the spirit of God, would be entangled again in the bondage of any law. Paul says in Galatians 4:9 that "now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years." There is the language again that Paul used in Colossians concerning Holy Days and festivals.

Later in Galatians, Paul was speaking correction. Some were teaching that you needed belief in Jesus PLUS circumcision. Circumcision actually was a law to Hebrews before SABBATH KEEPING, as SABBATH KEEPING came in with Moses, but Circumcision was introduced 600 years earlier through Abraham.

Pauls words carry the ultimate in severity of tone. Examine verses 1-4 of chapter 5.

"Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. Behold, I Paul say unto you, that if you be CIRCUMCIZED, Christ shall profit you NOTHING. For I testify again to every man that is CIRCUMCIZED, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace."

Now then, where you read CIRCUMCIZED above, substitute, SABBATH KEEPING. This does no violence to the scripture. I testify to you, as a prophet of the Lord, that if you trust in SABBATH KEEPING rather than the LORD OF THE SABBATH, Christ shall profit you NOTHING. You are indebted to fulfill the whole law which no man, save one, has ever been able to keep. And that one man was Jesus, the God/Man. Repent from this pernicious evil, for you are fallen from grace and are in danger of hell fire.

Heavenly Father, I pray now for the deliverance of the Mormons and the SABBATH KEEPERS from the god of this world, the mind blinding spirits that keep them in darkness. Lord, please drive away these gatekeepers of vision, hearing and understanding. Please bring clarity to their minds, so that the light of your gospel may penetrate. Lord, please deliver them out of the hands of these devils, in Jesus name. Amen.
