Psychic Scams Versus Genuine Psychics!

Submitted By: Cherokee Billie
Psychics have been around since the beginning of mankind being called prophets, soothsayers, fortune teller, and many other terms. A genuine psychic can see the potential for the future. Unfortunately over the last twenty years there has been an incredible boom of people representing themselves as psychics because of the money to be made by telling people what they want to hear or else convincing them that without spiritual help they are going to have great misfortune. This has caused psychics to be viewed as not honorable people. So what I want to do is point out psychic scams and how to avoid them, so that you can talk to a genuine psychic.

Free Psychic Readings!

One of the biggest ways to get caught into a scam is advertisements that state, “Free Psychic Readings.” Everyone is looking for a bargain, but when it comes to psychics you should really look for Quality. These advertisements get you to call quickly and once you are on the line you are given so many free minutes and when your time is up you will be tempted to continue with the psychic reading when the “reader” uses one or two intriguing hints like: " I have some really exciting news for you that just came through to me, but unfortunately your free time is up. You would like to continue with the reading, wouldn’t you?" You are then asked for payment and the cost is usually extremely high for every minute that you are on the line thereafter.

It is very likely the “reader” is working off a carefully crafted script in order to ensnare you. How I know this is because I worked for one of the top online psychic companies, when I first started out professionally, and the first thing I was given was a detailed script of what I was to say to keep the reader on the line. I never did follow the script and I was very successful becoming their top psychic. Whatever reason you give not to pay and continue you will be met with a response from the “script” which you will find very difficult to refuse. You cannot say I didn’t warn you!

Do you honestly believe a Clairvoyant/Psychic reader will sit around all day working for nothing! Would you? I do not think so. A psychic has to pay bills just like anyone else and that is the reason that they charge for their services. Only if a psychic is blessed with great wealth can they do readings for free.

Most of these large psychic companies offer free readings because they do not have genuine quality psychics working for them, because they could not afford to pay them and they use people that follow a carefully outlined script and are good talkers.

You Have A Curse On You!

If any psychic tells you that you have a curse on you and they can remove it – hang up the telephone immediately. This person is going to try to fool you into paying large amounts of money to have the curse removed. They will also claim that they can bring back a loved one to you by their special work. No one can make someone love you because each one of us has free will.

Some "psychics" use this type of technique so that the clients become dependant on them in their time of vulnerability. I have had countless people tell me stories of spending thousands of dollars on psychics, to the point of financial ruin. Also, as a psychic in practice for more than 25 years now, and working with others of equal experience, I can assure you, that only under extremely rare circumstances would any psychic work, cost more than two hundred dollars, IF that. These readers have no basis for their suggestions to you, regarding "curses".

The Negativity Scam

Another scam is telling you that you need to have all “Negativity Removed” from your life. That everything in your life will improve once all negative energy is removed from your presence. Often the negativity is coming from your money and if you give them your money they will burn it or destroy it in some sacred way that eliminates the negativity. Again do not fall for this. There are ways you can remove any negativity from your life and you can do it yourself. I send out newsletters where I teach people how to improve their life and spiritually develop their own protection.

These types of so called psychics are known as gypsies in the field because they move from victim to victim. I cannot begin to tell you how many people have called me telling me about spending thousands of dollars to psychics who claimed they could make someone love them, remove a curse, or protect them from someone who has been abusing them. Sad to say, clients have quoted prices ranging from $300 to $10,000 for removing curses. They are using fear and carefully crafted words to make you afraid that if you do not do what they say your life could be ruined.

Another tip I have is be careful with readings when the psychic tells you that you were an important person in your past lives. You might have had incarnations with important roles in society, but it is an absolute that you also had simple incarnations. You might have even been a slave or a simple blacksmith. So be very careful if you hear “You were Nefertiti in Egypt, then you were Cleopatra, and then you were Helen of Troy, you were Mozart, and then you were the Queen of England” That person is trying to get your trust by making you feel important.

How to Spot an Ethical Genuine Psychic

A genuine ethical psychic has no hidden costs, and no surprises. Most genuine psychics give to charities or give some time for free to different organizations. Many also run prayer or meditations groups, or have students in spiritual study with them. A professional psychic relies on readings for their income and they want to make sure that their clients are happy.

A genuine psychic does not rely upon tools such as cards, crystal balls, pendulums, runes or any other outside tool. A truly gifted psychic will receive their answers from their own or their clients spirit guides, higher self and/or angels. Reputable psychics are concerned with the best possible way to serve their clients. It means a great deal to me that I am not just doing a job: I am serving humanity in a meaningful and useful way.

Reputable psychics know that their gift comes from the Divine Spirit, and that they are not in charge of it. A reputable psychic's desire is to guide clients to understanding and truth, which will help them learn to transform the negatives in their own lives. A reputable psychic will never exploit you. A genuine psychic’s gift is natural; they do not encourage clients to think of them as god-like or superior. A reputable psychic focuses only on Truths, not unfounded Fear. A reputable psychic is interested in spiritual education for your own knowledge and growth.

Remember there are true gifted psychics who only want the best for you and will only charge a normal rate for their services and never ask for bonuses or extra money for their work.

So the next time you see the words, “Free Psychic Reading,” think carefully about your wallet and credit cards before you follow through on the advertisement.

Bishop Eddie Long Controversy Should Not Destroy Faith in Church

Submitted By: Todd A. Smith
Allegations that Bishop Eddie Long, pastor of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in suburban Atlanta, coerced four males into sexual relationships are riveting the nation. Some have even said if the allegations facing Bishop Eddie Long are true it will rock the entire Black church with catastrophic consequences.

For years, many critics of the church have said that the imperfections of church leaders are what keep them out of the church completely. Many believe if the person delivering the message has skeletons in their closet than why should they listen to the message he/she is delivering?

This approach to worship is totally misguided if you are at church service to serve God and not the pastor.

Pastors like Bishop Eddie Long are simply the messengers, given the assignment to teach the congregation about the Word of God. Should they be role models, definitely. But should we expect perfection? In my opinion, we should definitely not because perfection is not possible.

Church seems to be the only place where people expect perfection, even though not attending church does not really negatively affect the pastor, just the parishioner.

If a journalism professor is not the perfect journalist, should it stop a student from attending class? No, because even though that professor may not be the perfect journalist, he/she can teach someone the skills needed to be a better journalist. If we choose to stop attending class for this reason or any reason it only adversely affects us, not the professor.

If our boss is not doing as good a job as we think he/she should, do we simply stop going to work? No, because that would adversely affect the money that we earn making it extremely difficult to pay our bills and take care of our family. We might begin looking for a new job, but an intelligent person would not stop working because that person knows the consequences.

Furthermore, if we are unhappy about the way the government is spending tax payer dollars, do we simply stop paying taxes? No, because we know that could possibly lead to our incarceration.

So, if we do not stop doing those things because the people around us are not perfect or we disagree with them, why should we stop attending church because pastors like Bishop Eddie Long are imperfect creations like all of us or we disagree with some of their actions?

Additionally, we should not rush to judge Bishop Eddie Long until the cases have been adjudicated and we should not rush out of the doors of the church when we discover the imperfections of the church. The Bible describes the church as the “people of God,” and all people whether they attend worship or not are far from perfect.

Bishop Eddie Long stated in his address to parishioners of New Birth, that he is under attack. I will take it a step further and say that the entire church is under attack from people on the inside as well as people on the outside.

Whenever the church is mentioned in the media, the coverage usually centers on a controversy and not the countless acts of charity and compassion that congregations engage in on a daily basis.

Ralph Douglas West, pastor/founder of The Church Without Walls in Houston, often says the church does enough community service and goodwill to fill every news cycle every day. It is just unfortunate, that critics only pay attention to its bad press and not its benevolence.

What Really is the Third Secret of Fatima

Submitted By: Robert Benjamin
The 20th century is considered to be the most fateful of all centuries with its tragedies in two world wars, the rise of communism as well as the triumphs in technologies that remain unparalleled against all of man's existence in recorded history. It is also a period that saw the most prophetic apparitions ever made in a small Portuguese town of Fatima in 1917.

Much of the visions contained in three distinct secret messages known as the Three Secrets of Fatima have been revealed, notable the first two messages which predicted the 2nd World War and the doctrinal threat of Communist totalitarianism that engulfed Russia.

These have been committed to paper by the lone surviving visionary, Sister Lucia Santos and deposited in the Vatican at the time. They were revealed by the Pope John Paul II in 2000 though many dispute that the third secret was accurate.

Not as Apocalyptic as Speculated Excerpting the text of the 3rd secret, we can read and see that while the message provides some disturbing imagery, it fails to live up to all the speculated third world war, church apostasy, or end of the world scenarios that the secret has created in the minds of many.

"...at the left of Our Lady and a little above, we saw an Angel with a flaming sword in his left hand; flashing, it gave out flames that looked as though they would set the world on fire; but they died out in contact with the splendour that Our Lady radiated towards him from her right hand: pointing to the earth with his right hand, the Angel cried out in a loud voice: 'Penance, Penance, Penance!'. And we saw in an immense light that is God: 'something similar to how people appear in a mirror when they pass in front of it' a Bishop dressed in White 'we had the impression that it was the Holy Father'. Other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious going up a steep mountain, at the top of which there was a big Cross of rough-hewn trunks as of a cork-tree with the bark; before reaching there the Holy Father passed through a big city half in ruins and half trembling with halting step, afflicted with pain and sorrow, he prayed for the souls of the corpses he met on his way; having reached the top of the mountain, on his knees at the foot of the big Cross he was killed by a group of soldiers who fired bullets and arrows at him, and in the same way there died one after another the other Bishops, Priests, men and women Religious, and various lay people of different ranks and positions. Beneath the two arms of the Cross there were two Angels each with a crystal aspersorium in his hand, in which they gathered up the blood of the Martyrs and with it sprinkled the souls that were making their way to God."

Controversial Secret:

The Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) declared that the third secret must be a disappointment to many expecting more revealed mystery or dire prediction. The revealed third Fatima secret has since spawned controversy as many critics argue it is not the original one as what was revealed was handwritten on 4 pages instead of the original single page revelation that contained the words of the Blessed Virgin and not from a mere narrative description.

It also came originally in the form of letter to the Bishop of Leira which the revealed handwritten secret was not and should have contained information about the Apocalypse, and the Satanic infiltration of the Catholic Church. The Vatican remains firm that nothing of that sort is contained in the 3rd Fatima secret.

There is a website that describes the Third Secret of Fatima and numerous other topics of interest such as conspiracies, secret technology, ufos, secret weapons research, bible end times predictions and many other such subjects, this website is called: The Great Deception and it may be found at this url: http://www.great-deception.com

Childs Choir Music

Submitted By: Howard Gottlieb
I once had a friend that wanted to help out any way that she could at her church. Let’s just say that it didn’t take anyone in the church long to realize that they had hit pay dirt. They called her in and asked her if she would be in charge of one of the most important positions in the church – Director of Childs Choir Music. How could she refuse? After all this was one of the most important positions, and how hard could it be to get children to sing songs.

Her duties, she found, including setting up their first choir fundraiser and helping with all aspects of choir including song selection and recruiting. As in many cases the job of the volunteer can cover many different areas that are not anticipated. When it comes to choir, though, there are so many fun things to do to make it enjoyable for the kids.

After all, they naturally sing songs. (By the way, did I mention that my friend was not married and does not have kids)? After my friend researched the idea of childs choir music, she began to realize that she may have bitten off more than she could chew. First of all, the easy part was recruiting children and scheduling practices. That didn’t seem too hard, just make an announcement in church and place an ad in the bulletin announcing the times and dates of practice.

Once she had some willing participants, she started to look at some songs that were appropriate for the kids. This started to get a bit more difficult, because she didn’t have any musical training! She couldn’t read a sheet of music. This is where I came in and offered to help her find something suitable. Not the simple, Jesus Loves Me, or This Little Light of Mine, but something that can show off the kids musical talents. We settled on Gladsome Light. Did I mention that I did not have any kids either? Anyway, after a few practices, of going through the music with the kids, we became a bit frustrated. First of all, the kids couldn’t read. I forgot, four years olds are not able to read anything! After we had them memorize the words, they couldn’t remember the melody. With a scheduled performance looming on the horizon, we bribed them with anything that made sense, stickers, toys, candy etc. Still to know avail- it sounded like a train wreck in the middle of the night. We thought about having them lip sync, but we thought that might be a bit unethical for church. So what did we do, we had them sing Jesus Loves me and This Little Light of Mine.

So the moral of this story is that when you volunteer for something, make sure that you have a friend that is smart enough to talk you out of it. Or understand that there might be more to the job than you first expected so keep your eyes wide open when raising your hand.

The Important Power of Prayer

Submitted By: Andrew Hallinan
Prayer should be our spiritual breath. We couldn’t survive without breathing and we shouldn’t try to face each day without prayer. The importance of prayer is often understated, mostly only something we do when we are in trouble and don’t know what else to do. Prayer is often limited to such situations as when we or one of our loved ones are sick or when we are fearful for

ourselves or a loved one. We shouldn’t face any challenge in our life without prayer. Sometimes, if we had been faithful in bringing everything to the Lord in prayer, we wouldn’t find ourselves in some of the fixes we find ourselves in when we don’t seek God’s leadership.

Prayer is quite simply put talking to our Heavenly Father. Often times we only use prayer to ask for things to go our way instead of seeking God’s will. Prayer can be praising God daily for his wonderful love and understanding. It can be thankful; thanking him for each moment of our lives from the time we wake up in the morning until we go to sleep in the evening, grateful he keeps us safe through the night. Prayer can be rejoicing; rejoicing in all the wonderful blessings in our lives from our family to our daily jobs and even our daily trials. Prayer can be a time of seeking; seeking guidance in the decisions we make in our daily lives for ourselves and our family, friends, and church home. Prayer can be a time grieving as we bring our sorrows to the Lord seeking His spiritual comfort.

Prayer is something every church needs to practice strongly and faithfully, it is important for the growth of the ministry and our community’s Christian methods. Often people don’t know what to say when they pray. To be honest, the words do not matter, as our Heavenly Father already knows what is in our hearts. We need to bring everything to the Lord in prayer, and we need to trust our Father to guide us. The scripture tells us in 1 John 5:14-15 “14This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15And if we know that he hears us—whatever we ask—we know that we have what we asked of him,” New International Version. We need to believe in the power of prayer and use prayer as an important daily part of our lives.

Praying constantly and with a pure heart, having brought all our sins to the lord for forgiveness is the proper way to apply prayer to our daily Christian lives. Our Heavenly Father loves us and will care for us. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life,” John 3:16 New King James Version. God will take care of all of our needs; we only have to ask while seeking his will. How can we live without breathing and how can we cope without prayer? The answer is – We can’t!

Church Home Pre-Requisits

Submitted By: Andrew Hallinan
One of the most important decisions Christians make after accepting Jesus Christ as their savior and lord is finding a church home. When searching for a permanent church and family (one cannot have one without the other) there are several things to consider prayerfully. Most importantly, the church needs to be following the Word of God. If it isn’t following the Word of God

is not going to thrive and may often hinder personal Christian growth. Christians should pray and search the scriptures for guidance in searching for a church home.

The right church should be a place of love, 1 John 3:23 says, “And this is His commandment, that we should believe on the name of His son, Jesus Christ, and love one another as He gave us His commandment,” King James Version. It should be founded on the beliefs but forth by Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 6:20 says, “For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit which are God’s,” King James Version.

When looking to find a church home, Christians should ask a friend to pray for God’s wisdom. God answers prayers and guide His children in His will. Christians may also consider asking the church they are considering to pray with and for them as they make this decision. The right place for your and your family will be a church family that will help its members make difficult decisions. This is an entity which can rejoice and grieve with its members.

The scriptures say “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord,” 1 Corinthians 15:58 King James Version. A church home should be about the Lord’s work, not about being with friends, or about how fancy the building may appear. It should be about the people in the building and what they are doing in the name of our Heavenly Father. It’s easy to follow our friends or look at the worldly possessions of a church, but that shouldn’t be what a church home is about. The right place can be a humble building on a side street, a tent in someone’s backyard, or at the most unlikely of places. You may not be with your best friend, or you might find yourself among the closest friends you’ve ever known.

A church home is about following the will of God in our daily walk with him, so when looking for the right place there are important qualifications Christians should look for. When looking for a church Christians need to have open hearts attuned to the will of our Heavenly Father, actively seeking His will in their Christian walk. Whether you are a new Christian or if you’ve been a Christian for many years, there are always decisions we have to make about a church home, sometimes we move and need to find a church home. Sometimes God just calls us somewhere else for unknown reasons and sending us in search of a new place to worship. This search must be done with prayer, always seeking God’s will.

Prosperity Gospel is Good News For Those Who Need Money

Submitted By: Jim Kibler
The Bible concept of success is God telling us what He believes prosperity for His people really is and if we are going to study further we are going to learn that God really does want us to prosper and be in health.
In 2 Corinthians 9:8 the Bible lets us know “and God can make all grace abound toward you; that you'll always have all sufficiency for all things and may abound to each good work”.

Click on the link along at the bottom of this page to get free entry to incredible audio messages on exactly how to increase your finances.

This is God’s definition of prosperity. Enough money to pay for all of our bills and funds remaining to give to every good work. People must have a lot of money if they're going to give money for the church, give money for the poor in order to fund the evangelist who is out there reaching the lost.

Prosperity and financial increase are all through the Bible because this is absolutely, undeniably what God wants for His people. 3 John 2 States,” beloved, above all things it is indeed my wish that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers”.

In line with this verse from the Bible we definitely will prosper along at the same rate our soul prospers so it would behoove you to take the time to prosper your soul as your bank-account will follow.

The way you prosper your soul is by feeding your soul on God’s Word concerning prosperity.

If you need healing then you should listen to sermons on healing because what goes in your ear will affect your life.

If you need financial increase then listen to sermons on prosperity and you will notice your finances increasing.

Also, find a church that is preaching what you need to hear. right now I am preaching financial increase because of what is going on in our economy and everyone in our church is being provided for.

Another thing I tell people to do is pray God’s Word frequently until faith comes. Just pray, Lord your Word says in Psalms 112:3 that wealth and riches shall be in my house. Now fill my house with wealth and riches according to your Word.

Do you have the audacity to pray that to God? If you do, that is exactly what He is going to give you, wealth and riches at your house.

Some people say as long as I have enough money to pay my bills I’m happy. Maybe they are, but if they just have enough money to pay for their bills they are not going to be a financial blessing to anyone else.

I enjoy having extra money to offer to other people in order to help the poor.

The Bible meaning of prosperity is for us to have enough money for everything we want with plenty left over to help others.

The Difference Between Baptism and Christening

Submitted By: Criss White
Almost across all religions, the newest members of their belief are welcomed using rituals and rites of passage. This has been the tradition of almost all religions since the beginning of known history. Whether in tribes, with Muslims, Catholics or Baptist, welcoming new people is a symbol of their growing community and belief.

In the Christian world, there are ceremonies being done to ‘welcome’ the child into the Christian world. Often called baptism or christening, these two terms are being used interchangeably. It is understandable as there is a thin line between the two – they actually go together and it is seldom that one occurs without the other. However, many people wonder what the differences are in meaning between the two. Here are some of the key differences between the terms Baptism and Christening.

- Baptism is the actual ceremony conducted to welcome the newborn or baby into the church. This ceremony includes pouring water to the forehead of the newborn – this is to symbolize or recreate the baptism of Jesus himself by John the Baptist in the River Jordan. The pouring of water or sprinkling of water is done three times as to symbolize the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

- Christening is not a ceremony but rather the giving of a Christian name during baptism. With this, it means that the two belong together – two activities that follow each other.

- Baptism symbolizes the washing away of sins and admission into the Church. Christening is generally giving a name to be ‘christened’ or welcomes in the Christian church.

- The word Baptism is also used in the Church community. The word Christening is a more of a secular expression.

- For the church, Baptism is a Holy Sacrament while Christening is the naming of a child.

- There are sects that can have christening – only intended to give a ‘religious’ name to the child, but without the sacrament of baptism (as it is solely a holy sacrament in the Catholic church), but this is considered quite rare. This then becomes simply a naming ceremony

- As to groups, the Pentecostal, Methodist, Presbyterian, and Baptist churches, generally those under Christian and Evangelical churches practice differences when it comes to the two.

- However for the Lutheran and Catholic churches, they may be used interchangeably as they are generally connected to welcoming a new member in their church.

For those who are under the Catholic church, it is acceptable and understandable that the two be used interchangeably. What is more important in the Catholic church is how you live and practice the faith and belief that was bestowed during such ceremonies.

As both are focusing and reflecting on the life and practices of Jesus, these ceremonies and sacraments becomes then a primary starting point in a Christian’s world. Of the Holy Sacraments, this is the first holy sacrament that the Christian is receiving, thus, the whole family then becomes supportive and encouraging of this rite. The ceremony if often conducted with family members and close friends with religious clergy present to initiate the rites.

But walking into a new church can be a daunting and lonely undertaking. Here are some ideas for those first few visits to a brand new church.
