Praying To
Mary Is Idolatry
More Facts And Evidences

The Man Who Saw God Face To Face

1.
God commanded that humanity must not pray to any other
being.
3 "You
shall have no other gods before
2.
For making one image, so many Israelites were killed in the
wilderness. So, how do you think that you shall be saved by a multitude of
images?
Now when the people
saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered
together to Aaron, and said to him, "Come, make
us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us
up out of the
2 And Aaron said to them, "Break off the golden earrings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me." 3 So all the people broke off the golden earrings which were in their ears, and brought them to Aaron. 4 And he received the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool, and made a molded calf .
Then they said,
"This is your god, O Israel, that brought you out
of the
5 So when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, "Tomorrow is a feast to the LORD." 6 Then they rose early on the next day, offered burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
7 And the LORD
said to Moses,” Go, get down! For your people whom you
brought out of the
… And about three thousand men of the people fell (died) that day. Exodus 32:28
33 And the LORD said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book. 34 Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin."
35 So the LORD plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron made. Exodus 32:33-35
3.
For making one graven image, so many Israelites were killed
in the wilderness. So, how do you think that you shall be saved by a multitude
of images?
However well people defend the images and statues, all the images and statues are unnecessary in the sight of God. They are irrelevancies in the true worship of God in spirit and in truth. And they continue to turn people away from the true worship of God. What God wants from you is your heart and attention. Any other thing that occupies your heart and attention is an idol. (The cover picture of this book is only a picture of an Angel, bringing good message to humanity. You do not have to worship it.)
· For over 30 years, I have being in the presence of the Most High God, in spirit and physically.
· For over 30 years, I have seen Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, the Angels and the Saints.
· For over 30 years, I have being working with them, in spirit, in heaven, on earth, in dreams, in visions and in trances. And not even for one day have God Almighty, Jesus, Holy Spirit, Angels or Saints, mentioned or used Virgin Mary or images.
All the while I have kept silent. Now, the Lord Almighty has said to me, “It is time to start speaking. For many religions are like dead and rotten animal, which must be thrown away.” And what many call faith is nothing but stubbornness. – The persistent refusal to do what God has said.
4.
God commanded against imaging images or bowing down to them.
Even images of God Himself is not allowed, let alone that of Mary.
4 "You shall not make for yourself a carved image — any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; 5 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me, 6 but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.” Exodus 20:4-6
People bow down to the image of Mary and serve it by carrying it about.
5.
God says there is none beside Him.
Remember the former thing, those of long ago;
I am God, and there is no other;
I am, and there is none like me.
I make know the end from the beginning,
From ancient times, what is still to come.
Isaiah 46:9,10
Jesus is God Himself that came in the midst of humanity.
6.
God warned the Israelites against making and images.
8 I am the LORD, that is My name;
And My glory I will not
give to another,
Nor My praise to carved
images.
9 Behold, the former things have come to pass,
And new things I declare;
Before they spring forth I tell you of them."
Isaiah 42: 8, 9
7.
God made known before hand how to know all the gods.
5 "To whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal
And compare Me, that we should be alike?
6 They lavish gold out of the bag,
And weigh silver on the scales;
They hire a goldsmith, and he makes it a god;
They prostrate themselves, yes, they worship.
7 They bear it on the shoulder, they carry it
And set it in its place, and it stands;
From its place it shall not move.
Though one cries out to it, yet it cannot answer
Nor save him out of his trouble.
Isaiah 46:5-6
8.
God warned against believing the statutes.
5 Even from the beginning I have declared it to you;
Before it came to pass I proclaimed it to you,
Lest you should say, 'My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my molded image
Have commanded them.'
Isaiah 48: 5
9.
The Israelites were the first to start the evil practice of
honouring and worshipping of Queen of Heaven. God rebuked the Israelites
against honouring any being as the Queen of Heaven.
16 "Therefore do not pray for
this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you. 17 Do you not see what they do
in the cities of
20 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, My anger and My fury will be poured out on this place — on man and on beast, on the trees of the field and on the fruit of the ground. And it will burn and not be quenched."
Jeremiah 7:16-20
Copy something from End Time
10.
Jesus made it clear that people must not worship or serve
any other person.
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. (people bow down and worship the statute of Mary.)"
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" Matthew 4:8-10
11. Jesus is the only
way to the Father.
6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way , the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6
12. Jesus even denied
Mary, should Mary fail to do what God said in the scriptures:
46 While He was still talking to the multitudes, behold, His mother and brothers stood outside, seeking to speak with Him. 47 Then one said to Him, "Look, Your mother and Your brothers are standing outside, seeking to speak with You."
48 But He answered and said to the one who told Him, "Who is My mother and who are My brothers?" 49 And He stretched out His hand toward His disciples and said, "Here are My mother and My brothers! 50 For whoever does the will of My Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother." Matthew 12:46-50
13.
None is greater than John the Baptist.
28 For I
say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John
the Baptist; but he who is least in the
14.
Jesus is the door of
the sheep.
Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.” John 10:10
15.
There is only one shepherd.
16 And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one shepherd. John 10:16
16. God does not work
with duplicate.
11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 3:11-12
17. Salvation is by
Jesus alone.
8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers of the people and elders of Israel: 9 If we this day are judged for a good deed done to a helpless man, by what means he has been made well, 10 let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. 11 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." Acts 4:8-12
18. Jesus warned against using repetitions and
many words in prayer. The rosary is full of repetitions and many words.
7 And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen (pagans, image worshippers) do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words. Mathew 6:7
19. God says it is an
abomination for a woman to lead a man, which evil was not and is not in His
plan, right from the foundation of the world.
20. In the heavens,
there is no Angel or Saint who wants you to worship him/her. Every Angel or Saint
wants you to know and worship the only one true God.
21. In my direct spiritual
encounters with the Angels and Saints, both in the heavens and on the earth, for
over thirty (30) years, they have not for one day asked anybody to pray to Mary
or worship her.
22. Jesus made it clear that of all those born of woman, no one is greater than John the Baptist. "Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Matthew 11:11-12 The least in heaven is the soul of a baby aborted on earth. The spirit far excels the flesh in ability.
23. Women are not allowed to climb up to the altar, because of their periods of menstruation. How come that today we see women climbing up to the altar?
24. Women are not allowed to be priest. They may be reverend fathers, reverend mothers, pastors, ministers, prophets, visioners, but never priests who present burnt offering to God.
25. The woman of revelation is not Virgin Mary, as many religious leaders claim. Mary was never cast into the wilderness. She was not given two wings. Even during the persecution and crucifixion of Jesus, nobody troubled or harassed Mary.
26.
The woman of revelation means the
27. The twelve stars represent the twelve tribes of Israel, which twelve tribes are the representative of the entire humanity in the presence of God. The twelve tribes correspond to the twelve destinies of humanity, as ordered by God in the twelve zodiac signs that control the activities of mankind.
28.
Every minister, who is spiritually awake and sent by God,
knows what he has come to do:
a.
Joseph said that God sent him in advance to
b.
Moses came to bring the Egyptians out of the
c. Jeremiah said he was sent as a prophet to the nations.
d. John the Baptist came to baptize with water.
e.
f. Mary said of herself, “…henceforth all generations will call me blessed…” Indeed, she is blessed. She never asked anybody to pray to her or make images of her.
29. Beware of
deceptions about Blessed Virgin Mary..
When you stand on the ground and look
upwards, the sun seems to be in the sky. But when you get to the sky, you
discover that the sun is far away. Likewise, when you look at the sky, you
think that the sky is touching the ground some where over there. But after you
move forward, you discover that the sky is not touching the ground. So it is
with so many religious pieties, which are unnecessary,
and in addition are deceptions.
That is all the more reasons why everybody
should study Spiritual Science. The
things of this world are illusions. The reality is in spirit. Unfortunately,
many are busy everyday practicing man-made doctrines, which are the figments of
imaginations, the fabrications of falsehood and the deceptions of the enemy.
All clamour and
clatter about Blessed Virgin Mary are like the mutterings of the foolish and
the uncertainties of the drunkard. Indeed, those who practice it, not only
deceive themselves, but also mislead innocent souls into idolatry. Be warned!

"For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor
are your ways My ways," says the LORD.
9
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
So
are My ways higher than your ways,
And
My thoughts than your thoughts.
There
is no rich and wealthy king
who would leave his
children
at the mercy of a house maid.
Be wise!
30. God did
not say that Mary shall bruise the head of the serpent.
Many have defended the statue of Mary marching on the head of a green snake, claiming that God said Mary shall bruise the head of Satan. God never said such a thing. God spoke about the son of Eve (Jesus), not about Mary:
And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel."
Genesis 3:15
The above salvation of God was confirmed to Abraham.
15 Then the Angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time out of heaven, 16 and said: "By Myself I have sworn, says the LORD, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only son … In your seed(Jesus) all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice." Genesis 22:15-19
31. The prophecy of
Revelation was not about Mary.
1 Now a great sign appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with
the moon under her feet, and on her head a garland of twelve stars. 2 Then
being with child, she cried out in labor and in pain to give birth. (In prophecy, a woman simply means the
3 And another sign appeared in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads (Seven means perfection: omnipotence. The Devil is claiming the position of God.) and ten horns (using ten kings), and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail (his deception) drew a third of the stars of heaven (the fallen Angels) and threw them to the earth (dishonored them by making them evil spirits). And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His throne. (The son means the seed of Abraham, Jesus, who is God and the saviour of the world.) 6 Then the woman (the church) fled into the wilderness (went into hiding), where she has a place prepared by God, that they should feed her there one thousand two hundred and sixty days (after which the true church/worship of God shall be restored). Revelation 12:1-6
13 Now when the dragon so many persecutors). 16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and swallowed up the flood which the dragon had spewed out of his mouth. (How did the earth help the church? All the persecutors eventually died and were buried.) 17 And the dragon was enraged with the woman, and he went to make war with the rest of her offspring (the true worshippers/saints of God), who keep the commandments of God and have the testimony of Jesus Christ. (Read world histories, records, encyclopedia or Internet. You will discover that the Devil used world powers/empires to persecute, kill saw that he had been cast to the earth (defeated), he persecuted the woman (the church) who gave birth to the male Child. 14 But the woman was given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness to her place, where she is nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. 15 So the serpent spewed water out of his mouth like a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away by the flood (In prophecy, waters means multitudes; flood means and intimidate the true saints of God.) Revelation 12:13-13:1
About
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
In this my lifetime, God is set to manifest so many of His powers through me. I shall also greatly manifest the authority of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit shall speak in me and through me. Even the wonderful natures of the Heavenly Hosts of Angels and Saints shall manifest, even more than was ever before manifest.
Buddha attained bliss, and believed that humanity came from nothing (Universal Mind) and shall return to nothing (Universal Mind). Today, I say to the world that I have seen and attained God. He is God of Perfection, the Ancient of Days and the Everlasting Father.
Lobsang Rampa was a highly evolved master soul. He said that he had attained the highest spirituality possible, except invisibility. Today, I say to the world that I have attained both visibility and invisibility. God is the Manifest but Hidden Truth.
Three Disciples of Jesus were opportune to see transfiguration. Today, I say to the world that transfiguration is true. For I have seen transfiguration. I not only saw transfiguration, I also experienced transfiguration, and I became transfiguration. Then, my eyes became like the uncountable rays of the sun. I was seeing in all directions at the same time.
What more evidence do you want? And what other sign is greater than this: that in the past, each of the saints saw God in one form or another. Today, I say to the world that I have seen all the manifestations of God as described by the saints. I attained the very nature of God, because I was transformed into His very nature in each occasion. As Jesus usually said, The Father and I are one. The Father is the glory of the son and the son is the pleasure of the Father. If you have believed those who did not see God, you ought to believe the one who has seen Him. And if you believed those who saw God once, you ought to believe him who has seen Him on many occasions.
When I finish my work and after I return to the Father, do not pray to me or worship me. Instead, pray to God and worship Him, because He is the One True God, who is the First, the Only and the Last. He is the Father of All. It is sufficient that God is God, Lord and Father. This is the Truth. There is nothing better than God’s love for His children. And worship no other one; pray to no other being. Always remember that I said, “Follow Jesus.”
I have come from the Father.
I have come in the Father’s name.
Again, I shall return to the Father.
Worship none, except God Almighty.
Who Then Answers All The Prayers Said To Virgin Mary?
First, the public should understand that it is an insolence to call a mother a virgin. That is hypocrisy – saying something and denying it at the same time.
Second, prayers are answered by the following:
1.
Yourself. Today, people say that they are making
money. And when they have made money, they go to church for thanksgiving
service, whereas they are busy everyday stealing and cheating others, working
against the due processes established by God. How can a person claim to be rich
when he sold a N5 good at the price of N1,000? When he
is busy exporting or importing fake products? When he is misappropriating funds
meant for the poor? For example, Ahab did the wish of Jezebel by killing Nabboth. Samson answered the Philistines and did the wish
of Delilah by telling her his secret.
2. The Evil Spirits. For example, when you pray earnestly that a person die, the evil spirits will kill the person in your own name. Therefore, you are guilty.
3. Forces of Nature. For example, accidents happen even when God does not want people to die. It happens because people fail to obey the laws of motion.
4. Angels. Prayers answered by Angels are as well answers from God, who sends and empowers them. Bad fortunes or curses are prayers answered by the fallen Angels and evil spirits. That is why the world must avoid every form of war or violence. It is the blood-sucking demons that cause wars and violence. They succeed because people are ignorant.
5.
God Almighty. For
a long time, God has been answering prayers, not because people have asked in
the right way, for many are spiritually ignorant and do not know how to present
their petitions before the throne on high. God has been answering prayers out
of love and mercy, just as parents give foods to babies, despite the fact that
such babies cannot correctly pronounce the names of the foods. That is why we
in the Age of Grace, benefiting from unmerited favours.
The Spirit has confirmed this through
The Spirit also warns that we should grow in spirit and in truth:
What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not!
Romans 6:1-2
It is time to worship God in spirit and in truth.
Be warned!
For time is too short
and the world is in the End Time!
