    - Craftily scheming to pinpoint how people live their lives, the heavy guns of her work are aimed directly at the mainstream public, at you. Jesus said: "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, and that no man comes to the Father but through Me." Contrary to Jesus Christ, Oprah wants to lead people away from the central truths she claims are her roots to false hopes which will not grant entrance into heaven. Oprah believes in using her life as a puppet for Satan's ruthless assault on mankind, and is subsequently leading people into the fires of hell empowered by demonic forces. In fact, Oprah takes her marching orders for her entertainment empire directly from the spirit world. Time magazine wrote of these spirit guides:

    "Oprah Winfrey calls these her 'go there' moments, spiritual episodes of divine guidance that far transcend the chatty exchanges with her studio audiences- Sometimes the epiphanies carry the voices of Negro slaves-Joe and Emily and Dara; Sue and Bess and Sara. Winfrey says that she has come to know each of them personally and calls them in at will to guide her in her work. The spirits began visiting her a few years ago..."

    All of the world's heralding of Oprah's great successes is little more than a surrendered compliance to governance by demonic spirits. These spirits are using her to construct the new theological mindset of the masses, ministering their doctrines of demons to society. Apropos, Oprah has always referred to her show as a "ministry." Subverting Christian values through the support of a New Age forum of all types, this change-agent is taking direct aim at ushering in the New Age practices into the hearts of the world, formatting her talk show as "change your life television."

    Oprah certainly does not have Christian morals. She condones living together, has no qualms about living with her Stedman.

    What else should we expect from non-believers? What she is doing is not all that different from universalism which is rampant among so many people in churches today. Few pastors preach on the basic doctrines of the Bible today. When one preaches on the basic doctrines of the Bible they come head on where Jesus and Satan meet. A lot of preachers don't like to go there because it forces people to choose sides and determine the God they will serve. They might lose their job because some might not like his preaching just lie what happened to Jonathan Edwards. Too many psychology and self help sessions are found coming from pulpits. Then on the other side is pure unadulterated ignorance with shout stomp and spit added from those who claim to believe the Bible and drill their philosophy into people. It takes a lot of work to study well and preach what scripture teaches in light of its historical context. It takes time and study to teach people well. But also congregations must expect the preacher to give his best instead of wasting his time with their pettiness. They must quit wasting his time thinking he owes them a visit but instead praying for him and encouraging him to do his very best. They need to leave him alone and let him be with God so that he can do his best when he is with them. They should be eager to serve him so he has time to do what he needs to do.

    I have a friend who pastored a church where some of the people came in and mowed his lawn and cleaned his home. That was a positive witness to the neighbors. It was one of the deacons who led in this ministry for serving their pastor. When I came to his home once to visit I saw a aman mwoing his lawn. SO I asked him about it. That is when I found out about what the deacons were doing for our pastor. At the time the church was small and couldn't pay much but it did not take long to get a lot bigger.

    Oh wait!! She was just "praying to the dead"!!

    That is not so bad! It is just what Catholics do EVERY DAY!!

    The "difference" is that now and then - the "dead speak back". (Now shouldn't the dead KNOW BETTER!!??)

    Oprah has been New Age for years, though she dennies the label. In fact, most New Agers do not use the term "New Age" and many would deny being New Age because they don't like labels or they think it's said in a pejorative manner.

    Oprah's promotion of New Agers like Gary Zukav and Marianne Williamson have made their books bestsellers.
