What Are The Monthly Payments On That??
Intro.
among believers than among non-believers.
So what is the answer? Could it be found at a seminar, a counselor, a church, in a book, or in an
alternative solution? Yes, yes, yes, yes and maybe. If you would find one that actually teaches and
practices the answer. But it is hard to filter through all that is out there if you don't really know what to
look for. Because you don't know what answer to look for. After all, if you knew the answer, you
wouldn't be looking anymore.
So you might be wondering. Is this another one of those books ? If it were, we wouldn't be writing
this. So, this is not your average book about finances. Actually, even though this book is based on
Biblical concepts, the content is so different than any other financial book out there, that many readers
could consider this book to be just a bunch of b (excuse our choice of language here). When
reading this you could easily find yourself wondering what this has to do with money and your
financial health.
But before you speak your mind, we urge you to read on. And at all times keep God's incredibly
revealing words in mind. The few simple words he spoke in the Garden of Eden to the first couple:
"Who told you ?". More on this later on.
By the time you finish this book, you will have it figured out. Figured out to a point that you will never
look at your checkbook or credit card the same way again. And all you want to do is share with others
what you learned from reading this simple book. But bare with us. Because first of all this book is not a
literary work of art. Secondly, it will be a repeat of all that you have read so many times already. So we
have done our best to bring all that with some fun and looseness. So hang in there, because there is an
underlying message that will make it all clear. And it is in that message that the challenge lies.
For many centuries people have studied the Bible, looking for the underlying message. People wonder
if there are encrypted messages in the Bible. Well, we feel people might be making it way to difficult.
Maybe we are bringing you that secret message, and it isn't encrypted, neither is it all that hidden. It is
just grossly overlooked. And when you understand the concept that Free From Bondage Ministry
brings you, you will also understand why it is so grossly overlooked. Which should bring you even
more on the alert.
Before the beginning.
God was pleased. He had just finished a lot of work. So much creation in such a short period of time.
Of course a God day is much much longer than thousands of years we currently use on our earthly
picture this, if you had all your lusts and desires and no way to express them. Neither could they Or
could they ???
What most people consider the beginning.
Now that that ice age massacre had come to an end, it was time for God to start over on creating a
population for this planet called earth. So God went to work for another day, a God day that is. The
sixth one. And he created Human, a man. God put the first human, Adam, in a protected area, to guard
him from the wild and dangerous world that was created in that ice age massacre. What an awesome
place to live, and then imagine working together with God on naming the plants, the animals and all
else. Creating a world that would make human life sustainable.
But Adam was lonely. So by the first ever recorded attempt of human cloning, with DNA
modifications, God created another human, called Eve. She was a woman, and was bound to be Adam's
mate.
Life was amazing. The couple walked together with God in the cool of each evening in their beauty and
innocence. Naked, with nothing to feel ashamed about. There was just one simple rule to follow in
paradise. "Thou shalt not eat of the fruit of the tree of wisdom".
But then the unfortunate thing happened. A combination of a few things changed everything. The
spirits from the rebellion that came from the previous creation were still roaming the planet, and they
were desperately looking for bodies to work out their unfulfilled lusts and desires. And they had
located their victims. And these victims, called Adam and Eve, had something called "free will".
So by a sneaky way, through telepathie, using a serpent to converse with Eve, evil tempted Eve with
ideas that did not line up with the one basic rule of paradise. So while that one simple rule should have
been so easy to follow, temptation won the battle of Eve's mind. With her free will she decided to
follow the temptation rather than the one simple rule.
Then Eve, in her innocence, dragged Adam along in the first sin the new creation committed. Suddenly
noticing how good was counteracted by evil, Adam and Eve were being bombarded by dozens and
dozens of thoughts and emotions. The lusts and desires from Satan and one third of all the angels that
were also condemned were suddenly entering their minds. Adam and Eve had given these evil spirits
the right to access them by disobeying God. So they started acting a little different then before. They
had all these thoughts, feelings and emotions running through their heads. What was happening to their
minds?
responsibility had something to do with it, because they were both in control of their decisions on what
to do. On what actions to take, based on the thoughts, feelings and emotions going through their heads.
But here is something to realize. God asked Adam and Eve that one important question. "Who told
you ?". God wanted to make Adam and Eve aware that the thoughts, emotions and feelings racing
through them were not original to them. And that even though they were responsible for acting on it,
they were not responsible for what was put in their head.
God made it very clear again in later years, when He revealed that "We are to hold every thought
captive". In other words, think before you act, because your thoughts might not be yours. It might be
that someone "Told you ".
The years that followed.
The four thousand years that followed, showed an ongoing repeat of the scenario that we just reviewed
with Adam and Eve. That is, if we look at the three levels; input, responsibility and blame. The Old
Testament is like a history book, where some people relied on the blaming level, and others on the
responsibility level. These scenarios fluctuated from God pleasing and God following, to God
displeasing and God disobeying. But there is an underlying story that surfaces sometimes in the
writings of the Old Testament. An underlying story that represents the third level, the input level.
Because for four thousand years humanity struggled to keep the right path. And keep in mind that many
went astray because of chasing after this thing called money. Those understanding that input had
something to do with their behaviors and their actions, would go through numerous attempts to ban the
input. That is what all the blood sacrifices were for, that the Old Testament is filled with. These
spiritual leaders were aware that there were evil spirits that roamed the earth, looking for humans to
live through. The blood sacrifices were to cleanse the humans involved in these sacrificial rituals of the
external evil influences. The problem was that these sacrifices would only be effective at the time of
the sacrifice. For that moment only, could they listen to the words of God in their heads, without evil
screaming over it with all it had. Evil would return right afterwards, and the only way to guard it of
long term, was by sheer obedience to God. But any sin ever committed would for always give evil the
access right to the sinner's thoughts and emotions. So being a mighty man or women of God, required
total responsibility in following the right thoughts, feelings and emotions. Well, even the biggest names
and hero's from the Old Testament couldn't keep that up.
We can almost hear some of you think. "Yeah, but how about some of these Biblical figures, they did
us about how God really wants us to live. To understand God. To have knowledge. To free us from
bondage, by first of all starting to understand what we are in bondage to. God knew that by the
shedding of His Son's blood, mankind would be enabled to cast out that evil over and over again. That
is, if we would believe that that is the sacrifice that His Son Jesus Christ made for us. The ultimate
blood sacrifice, that would enable mankind forever to win the battle of the mind against these evil
spirits.
So what did Jesus teach us? In very basic terms He taught us that if we would not follow the words of
His Father, that we were following another kingdom. A kingdom known as God's enemy. The kingdom
of Satan. And that if we would follow that kingdom, we would give it the right to manifest itself
through us and the generations to follow. That manifestation would result in all kinds of misery.
Disease, poverty, divorce, death, disaster, and the list goes on and on.
But He also taught us that if we would truly believe in God, and truly believe in Him as the Son of
God, that we could free ourselves from that bondage. We could take the access rights away from these
evil spirits, so they would no longer manifest themselves through us. But it would require true believe,
understanding, repentance and casting out the evil within us. We would move closer to God by
believing in Him and His Son. But only by walking in their spirit and not after, how it was called, the
flesh, would we be able free ourselves from the evil spirits. Jesus went around freeing people from evil
spirits and the accompanying diseases and disasters. Mankind marveled at His powers. Yet He even
told us that if we really understood, we would do the things He was doing, and greater. But even those
following Him closely, and learning from Him first hand, could not believe that at that point in time.
Now here is that famous day. In the garden of Gethsemane, Christ is experiencing all the signs and
symptoms of extreme fear. As his disciples described, He was down on His knees, sweating blood.
Many people talk about the forty days that Christ was tempted in the desert. But realize that showing
these extreme signs of fear were an extreme form of temptation as well. Satan made a last attempt to
persuade Christ to give up. But there is a difference between experiencing the fear and giving into it.
Feeling the fear, even showing all the physical signs, does not mean giving in to that fear and
committing the sin. Christ followed through on what needed to happen, in spite of the feelings,
thoughts and emotions. He knew to follow God's path, in spite of what was trying to persuade Him in a
battle of the mind.
Then there was Judas. So what was it that made Judas betray Jesus. Yes, he got money, so that
persuaded Eve and then Adam, put thoughts and feelings and emotions in the heads of the crowds. And
they considered these thoughts, feelings and emotions to be original to them. And since their neighbor
was expressing the same thoughts, feelings and emotions, everyone considered to be right. Why
question yourself if pretty much everyone around you seems to be having the same frame of mind?
Maybe Christ wasn't so much referring to the fact that the crowds did not know what they were doing
when looking at the action of putting Christ to death. What if Christ was referring to that the crowds
did not know what they were doing in their heads? That they did not know they were not listening to
their own thoughts, feelings and emotions. That that what was going on in their heads was not original
to them. The crowds of people did indeed not know what they were doing, because they did not know
what they were doing in the six inches between their ears.
What put Christ to death weren't those crowds of people. The crucifixion of Christ took place because
of what was going on on a spiritual level. What put Christ to death were the evil spirits from God's
previous generation, working through these crowds of people. Satan himself, together with one third of
the angels that had rebelled against God. And the people themselves did indeed not know what they
were doing. Besides that Christ was sacrificing Himself to become the ultimate blood sacrifice, His
own blood. He made this sacrifice to take all the sin of the world that had ever been committed, as well
as all the sin that still would be committed, on Himself. And realize where those sins come from. Not
original to the people committing them. The original thoughts, feelings and emotions tempting people
to sin came and come from Satan and his henchmen.
So not only did the crowds not know that they were swept up in Satan's mind game to commit such evil
against Jesus Christ, but next to that the sins brought by Satan's temptations that were destroying the
world had to be redeemed by Christ. It was and is the sin that each and everyone of us commit that
crucified Christ. It was, and still is, the battle of the mind because “someone is telling” us, that put
Christ to death. And the battle of the mind is in this world because of that one angel, Lucifer, who is in
rebellion warfare against God.
Now do take notice here. We are not saying the crowds (including us) did not have any responsibility.
They are still responsible for not understanding, not having the knowledge. Because if these crowds
had known about the battleground that was going on in their heads, and then had still followed through
on it, they would now have willingly conformed to the evil that was telling them to do this. It was
because they did not know what they were doing in their heads, what they were listening to, that they
Testament warn about legalistics overtaking the law of God. Thousands upon thousands were
prosecuted under human law, in the name of the Lord. All while human law should be submissive to
the law of God, not overrule it.
With the clock quietly ticking time away we get to the the era around the first world war. With the
advances in medicine and science, people are taking over in the world of healing. Mankind figures to
be so brilliant, that they can manage all diseases, disorders, mental challenges with pills, surgeries and
therapies. Since then that knowledge has helped to eradicate some simple contagious diseases, but
complex diseases like cancer, depression and many many more have gone rampant. Among believers
the numbers that suffer are no different than among non-believers.
So how did these changes come about. Yes, the watering down of the message brought by Christ is
definitely an issue. On top of that we have people making their own rules, bringing in their own ideas,
their own perceptions and translations. But were that their own thoughts? Maybe there is much more
going on.
Let's go back to that one important question again. "Who told you ?". Looking back at all the people
who influenced how the Word of God should be dealt with, we should ask ourselves that question as
well.
Who told the founders of the early churches to stray from the basics that Christ taught? Who told the
landlords and rulers to use the church as a place to bring people together to indoctrinate them? Who
told law makers to have human law overrule the Bible as a basis for convicting people? Who told
mankind to take healing out of the Christ, and that we as people can do an equal if not better job? Who
told all of them to do what they did? Going back through history, can you see how mankind could have
been under a spell? Was something playing with the minds of people in powerful positions? It might be
time to review the history books, and look at all that happened in a different light.
Present time.
Now it is time to take a look at the modern times we are encountering today. Looking at churches, the
diversity is soo great that it almost seems as if nobody really understands anymore what Christ actually
taught.
Now we could simply say "Read your Bible". Then everyone could be on one line. But even there the
trouble shows. The differences between the different translations is stunning. Fortunately the scrolls of
the Dead Sea have been found, so at least the Old Testament can be accurately translated. But even
teachings of our Lord.
Interestingly records show that the casting out of evil spirits was a very common practice in most
churches until the early 1900's. People with physical diseases, mental and emotional ailments, were
treated in churches.
Consider however, that since the 1900's, the world slowly but surely relied more and more on science
and law, especially after the writings of Darwin. Not too surprising, since throughout the centuries the
church had shown themselves as being pretty unreliable as well. And consider that for the day of today,
many congregations are small. A few hundred members at the most, since the chance that larger
number will result in people fighting over stupid arguments is becoming too big of an issue. Not to
even mention that churches seem to be the home to just as much disease, depression, mental illness,
criminality, divorce and other issues, as among non-believers. Who would still trust church. Many
arguments can be given why church is not a place to hang out in. Realize that Satan is a spiritual being.
He loves hanging out in places where people open their spirit to receive. Most people attending church
would not know the difference between Satan talking to them or God. Satan after all comes disguised
very well, as the angel of light, and will even bring you messages that appear as Godly as possible, still
dragging you into sin in the long term. Buyer beware is the phrase to use.
So now we even have comedians making jokes how a terrorist can easily kill two Jews, by just
throwing a penny between them, and then that you can do the same thing with catholic priests by
throwing a small boy between them. And everyone laughs, but there is a sick and saddening truth in
that joke. Millions have been brutally abused, misused, tortured and slaughtered in the name of God.
Why would anyone want to believe anymore? No wonder so many people don't want to have anything
to do with the Bible or church.
Looking at just the last century, we see two world wars, and many other wars. Lets focus for a moment
on the second world war in Europe. There we can see how one man starts sharing an idea, influencing
thousands upon thousands, eventually brutally killing millions in the process. He shared thoughts,
feelings and emotions, and was able to turn even children against their own parents. In many of the
wars and struggles this world has gone through in the last century we can see how it all started with an
idea someone had, a feeling, an emotion. And where did these thoughts, feelings and emotions come
from. Think again about God's words; “Who told you ?”.
So what has happened to society at large by turning more and more away from God? Turning away
battle ground.
In the Old Testament we see how evil spirits influence people. The only way to be free from these evil
spirits accessing the mind of humanity, was through sheer obedience, or blood offers. Once sin was
committed, temptation from evil spirits would be forever there. The sheer obedience would only
become tougher and tougher, because evil had the right to tempt.
When Christ came along He taught us that we should be aware of the battle ground. He made us aware
that having knowledge is the way out of the bondage. Many of his teachings were based on how we
perceive life, and how we respond to what happens to us. He was making us aware what voices in our
head we were listening to.
And then He gave us the greatest gift we could have ever received. A chance to win in the battle
against being accessed by evil spirits. In order to make that possible, He made the ultimate blood
sacrifice. His own blood. That sacrifice did not do what many people think it did. Many consider that
His sacrifice freed us from evil spirits. But if that were true, we would not be tempted anymore. And
everyone can see that we are all being tempted all the time, even the strongest believers among us.
After all, if none of us was tempted anymore, none of us would feel or express fear, unforgiveness,
bitterness, ever use His name in vain, and the list goes on and on. Lets face it, there is not a single day
that goes by without being tempted. Even Christ was tempted. And if Satan was smart enough to
persuade one-third of all the angels, what makes you think he would not be able to get to you and
persuade you.
So what do we see post-cross? John and Peter went around casting out evil spirits. So the evil spirits
were still there. Christ's sacrifice did not automatically remove all evil from humanity. Now we know
that some people will say that only those who believe in the Christ are free from evil. But Paul made
very clear that that is not true either. He was talking about the “evil that lived within”. And he referred
to himself. And he was a believer. He also mentioned that we need to clean ourselves, in body, soul and
spirit. Yes, we had to do that ourselves, it wasn't done for us. And when Christ addressed the seven
churches, he also showed them what they needed to overcome. In what areas were they listening to
something other than the law of God? Who were they listening to? And if you are reading this as a
believer, are you being tempted from time to time? And sometime even acting on it?! So, evil is still
with us.
So what Christ's sacrifice did was give us the power to be forgiven of our sins. Not just so that we
for a moment. Even be aware that you might even have physical responses (Fear could make shake and
tremble. Worry could cause insomnia. And go on and on). Then figure out what law you are following,
or were about to follow. The law of God or the law of sin.
One thing to remember is that Satan and his henchmen are very intelligent. They have many centuries
of experience. They will work really hard to disguise their curse as a blessing from God. So even if you
think to get blessed, buyer beware. You could easily be had, and actually get cursed. So that great deal
on that car, could drag you into payments that stretch your budget, increase you insurance payments on
top of that, not to mention the higher gasoline cost. Now your spouse looses her job, finds a new job,
but your household budget drops by 15%. Every month is a fight to stretch every penny to the
maximum. Tension rises in the home, you fight more often with your spouse, the kids don't feel safe in
their family environment anymore due to this. And then one of the kids steals a CD at a store because
he or she feels she could not ask you for some extra money on top of the allowance. But the car was a
great deal We hope you get the picture. That cellphone was free too, but tied you to a 2 year
contract that is actually above your budget. The list goes on and on. There are churches that preach
about how God wants us to live in abundance, to prosper. That there are so many blessings that come
our way, if we just open ourselves up to it. True. But realize that there are many “great deals” out there
that you could easily mistake for God's blessing, while it is Satan that gives you the feeling of a
blessing, dragging you into a curse and sin. One thing to really be aware of in that matter is how you
could be getting dragged into believing that your human solution is the ultimate solution to all your
problems. This is where you unknowingly also enter the kingdom of sin. The moment you believe that
something is the ultimate solution to whatever problem, you are stating that God is inferior to that
solution. Beware, to not call God inferior to your human solutions.
So check “Who is telling you ”. It is not just your financial health that is at stake. Your decisions on
where and how you spent your money, could be in conflict with the law of God. Again, buyer beware.
You will find that following the law of God in your financial decisions, keeping in mind “Who told
you ?”, will help you get on track of your finances. Who do you know that could use what you
learned? It is within the law of God that we do not keep our knowledge of good and evil to ourselves.
We must all become disciples. Now that doesn't mean that you go hit a fellow believer or a non-
believer over the head with your Bible when he or she is messing up their financial budget by following
the law of sin. But there should be a non-judgmental guiding of this person to make them understand.
must be done in order to understand what is the law of God, and what is not the law of God. And that
what is not the law of God, is considered the law of sin.
A good start with understanding the law of God would be to learn the Nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit,
and the Ten Commandments.
The Nine Fruits of the Holy Spirit are:
1: Love
2: Joy
3: Peace
4: Long suffering
5: Kindness
6: Goodness
7: Faithfulness
8: Gentleness
9: Self-control.
And the Ten Commandments are:
1: You shall have no other gods before Me.
2: 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.
3: You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.
4: Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy.
5: Honor your father and your mother.
6: You shall not murder.
7: You shall not commit adultery.
8: You shall not steal.
9: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10: You shall not covet your neighbor's house; you shall not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male
servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's.
Take this as a start, work the concepts described in this book, and get busy reading your Bible.
Using His sacrifice to become free.
So now you are aware. If you understand the concept that Free From Bondage Ministry brought you,
but this time it is coming out of your own mind. This time it actually is original to you. Now don't think
that giving into this is not sin. It still is, and if you do you give evil the right again to access you. So
hang in, your brain will untrained itself, and you will make it out of your sinful habits.
Then go out and change the world. And as they say, it does indeed start with us. By us gaining the
knowledge, so that we can be free from bondage. And then go out and teach others. Become one with
the Love of the Holy Father, by the Sacrifices that His Son Jesus Christ made for us, and use the Power
of the Holy Spirit.
So what is the next step. After all, this book has just provided the most basic of basic pieces of
information. It is now time to get into the details and study your life in comparison with God's Word. In
our main book “General Application of the Who Told You Principle. Repent and Overcome or Else ”
we do exactly that. Categorizing many areas of life, cross referencing them with Bible verses, and
looking at the logic in the madness of the warfare between God and Satan and how that is being played
out through us. Because in spite of the rebel warfare that Satan and his henchmen are fighting, there is
logic in the madness. And with a refreshed look at sin, consequences, torment, forgiveness and that
warfare between God and Satan that is being played out through us, it creates a whole new level of
knowledge that enables us to free ourselves from the bondage of this world. Are you truly ready to take
that step?? Then join us in “General Application of the Who Told You Principle. Repent and Overcome
or Else ”.
Who Is Free From Bondage Ministry?
Since you have read so far, I deem it to be necessary to give you an idea who Free From Bondage
Ministry is.
My name is Marco Werkhoven. I was born and raised in The Netherlands in Europe (hence the
grammatical errors in my writings, English is after all my second language). My parents were both
raised Catholic, and continued that with us, but turned away from the church when I was about nine
years old because of issues at the church that were very unrighteous. At that early age I already noticed
that the people attending church did not always live how the church told them to live, and that the
church was all too often teaching things that could either not be found anywhere in the Scriptures or
could even be refuted by the Scriptures. So even though my parents continued their faith at home, I did
not follow. In my teenage years I dropped God, Jesus and the Bible all together, seeing too many
people claiming to believe but not living like it. I considered it hypocrisy to be affiliated with that.
Taking that as the basis for studying God's word brought me to a complete new understanding of the
Bible. The message behind the story so to speak. Using that info I prayed, and within an hour and a
halve I was delivered and healed from what was about to kill me. When my wife came home that
afternoon the first words out of her mouth were "What happened??", because she could see that there
was a major change in me. And it was not because I suddenly believed in God, Jesus and the Bible.
That had come months earlier already when I noticed how the frustrations that had driven me away
were part of the spiritual warfare. It was doing what the Bible told me to do that brought the delivery,
the healing, the change. It was actually doing what faith showed me that made it all work. As we can
read in the Bible "Faith without works is dead" as well as that we should "Live by faith". We have to
practice the faith actively in order to have faith from our heart. Otherwise it is just a head issue. Our
lips moving, but nothing real.
Taking what I learned into the medical field (very carefully, to not loose my medical license over it),
miracles happened all over the place. A few of these are listed in the book "General Application of the
Who Told You Principle Repent and Overcome or Else ". I talked with friends and family, who
related to finally understand. And I prayed and prayed. It was at night in my sleep that I dreamed I
needed to write down what I had learned, what had delivered me and healed me. And that dream didn't
come once, but night after night with details on subjects, titles, timelines and everything I needed to
know and follow. Which is what I did.
And I can tell you Satan was not happy I did this. During writing of the book "General Application of
the Who Told You Principle Repent and Overcome or Else ", I was subjected to seven nights
and days of torment. Not able to wake up I was tormented with severe nightmares of all the terrible
things my family would undergo if I continued to write. I had severe physical pains, and literally felt all
night as if someone was sitting on my chest, choking me. I would trash in the bed all night. My wife,
who normally is a light sleeper did not notice anything, although she did end up one night getting
scratched really badly while my nails were neatly trimmed Daytime was normal when considering
that kind of torment, as the torment disappeared as soon as I would wake up in the morning and I
would pray. Within seconds or minutes the torment would disappear, only to return the next night to
stay until prayer at waking up. However, during the day all major health issues that I had suffered from
my childhood until now returned full force. All of this was also taken from me within minutes after
prayer for the specific issue at hand, based on the research I was doing. Although sometimes it took
- The Bible is a book of war.
- This war is between God and Satan and is played out through God's most precious creation: us.
- We are helpless in this war without God and Christ on our side.
- Sins are our free will actions under the influence of evil, which can either be just by temptations or a
literal "dwelling within" of demons, making us choose Satan's side in the warfare.
- Only through God and Christ do we have forgiveness of sin and can we be delivered from evil.
- Being forgiven and receiving deliverance does not make one immune to the warfare, and Satan will
still do everything possible to win you back to his kingdom.
- We come to God and Christ through faith.
- Faith is pure if we devote our life to living as Christ (the Word) tells us.
- Living according to Christ (the Word) is only possible by understanding the Word.
- Understanding the Word includes understanding the warfare, our sins and our responsibilities.
- Therefore suffering during this worldly life as well as in eternity in torment from evil, and not
receiving forgiveness and deliverance, is rooted in our own lack of knowledge, lack of understanding
sin, and as Christ called it "Oh yeh of little faith", our unfaithfulness.
- Yet no matter how much we do or do not do, the final decision on what happens is God's.
So why is what we preach different than what so many others out there are preaching? Well, because
