1 92 Freemasonry Many people within our country, including ministers, have been involved in one or another of the various societies of freemasonry. Often individuals who come for prayer to be set free of freemasonry have either been directly involved in it or have had Masonic influences within their ancestry. Simply stated, freemasonry is a fraternal (or brotherly) organization that has certain secret rituals. Freemasonry had its beginning in the 1600s in Scotland and Great Britain, and their societies have now spread worldwide. There currently may be as many as 3.5 million members in the U.S. alone. While the Masons have regarded themselves as a secret society, their beliefs and practices have been well-documented by previous members and by Christian researchers. Scholarly books have been written on the history of the Masonic rites. This section discloses a brief account of why people need to be set free from the harmful effects of Masonry. Individuals enter a lodge for business and societal reasons, and to join an association of friends upon whom they can rely. Many of the past presidents of the United States (including George Washington) were Masons, and the back of our dollar bill is filled with Masonic symbols (such as the all-seeing eye of the Grand Architect of the Universe). The early history of the practices of the Masons set them in opposition to organized churches, Catholicism in particular, and the Masons were responsible for various religious persecutions (in the 18 th Century, for example, in several countries, the Jesuits were suppressed by them). The opposition was so strong that Catholics were forbidden to join the Masons. Christians have traditionally been against Masonry because the church has stood against societies that require taking oaths of secrecy, with dire threats of evil (and death) incurred for violating the curse (breaking the secrecy). If you have read any of the initiation rites at the various levels (all the way up to the 33 rd Degree), you recognize that they elicit fear at a very deep level (at one level, for instance, a noose is placed around the neck). A second reason churches have been against Masonry organizations involves the physical and emotional ailments which ensue, to members and to the sons and daughters (to the fourth generation, Ex. 34:7) of those who are Masons. Consider the following examples as personally experienced and noted by Barbara Cassada, in her book Unto Death. Only first names are given in her examples below, to provide anonymity. Kristi Conditions: manic-depressive, Satanic ritual abuse, multiple personality disorder. Connection: her step-father was a Mason. George Conditions: heart by-pass surgery, manic-depressive; father died of heart problems. Connection: his father was a Mason. Allen Conditions: Multiple Personality Disorder, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, suicide tendencies, migraine headaches, bleeding ulcers, homosexuality, clinical depression: Mother s conditions: breast cancer, mental instability, migraine headaches, heart disease. Connection: paternal Great Grandfather and Grandmother involved with DeMolay; paternal uncle was a Mason. Karen Condition: lupus. Connection: a family member was a Mason; she was involved with Triangle Girls.

2 93 Don Conditions: himself, infertility; his sister, pancreatic cancer and Marfan s Syndrome, resulting in open-heart surgery. Connection: Masons in both father s and mother s family lines. Cassada goes on to list four full-pages of similar accounts from her ministry, I could prepare a similar list. Masons and their family members seem to have an over-abundance of the following health problems: continuous miscarriages, colon cancer, prostate cancer, breast cancer, heart problems, organ malfunctions, Crone s disease, brain tumors, Parkinson s, Alzheimer s, and premature death of either children or other relatives. The most alarming factor with regard to this society, however, is that false gods (replacing our Lord Jesus Christ) are involved. For example, Egyptian gods (Horus, Set, and Isis) are involved at the 31 st Degree. With each escalating degree, the confusion and idolatry increase, until Lucifer himself becomes part of the initiation. The sin involved in Masonry is ultimately idolatry and involves the rejection of Jesus Christ as our only Savior. The idolatry curses associated with this membership are derived from the following examples from their beliefs and practices: 1. The name of Jesus has been omitted from prayers. 2. Blood-curdling oaths (to maintain secrecy) became part of initiation rites. 3. The name of their deity is secret. The central deity is neither Jesus Christ nor God, and therefore, members are being deceived into committing idolatry. 4. Use of the all seeing eye of spiritual light in the form of a pyramid. 5. Members are promised acceptance (after death) into the Grand Lodge in the sky. 6. Even though the Bible is acknowledged as a sacred writing, only a few selected passages are used in their worship and beliefs. 7. Every freemason is open to interpret the sacred writings for themselves. 8. Some orders (during initiation) participate in mock hangings, beheadings, and the drinking of blood. 9. Masons take an oath to be loyal to and to protect one another no matter what the cost. This loyalty can supersede family members or church membership. 10. Oaths and testimonies are signed with their own blood (a common practice within witchcraft circles). 11. Oaths include penalties of death or dismemberment for violating the rules or for breaking their secrecy. 12. Oaths are given blindly one line at a time so initiates do not know in advance to what they will be (and are) swearing. 13. Initiations are performed in darkness. Clothing is opened. A rope noose (called a cable-tow) is placed around the neck and the initiate is blindfolded with a hoodwink. 14. At some levels of masonry, initiates are anointed with oil and proclaimed to be Priests forever after the Order of Melchizedek, (a reference taken but misapplied from scripture).

3 94 Members of the organizations listed below are the subject of demonic curses that not only affect them but that also affect members of their families (and all those who follow through the ancestral line for generations thereafter), all this attributed to their gross and blasphemous idolatry. Order of the Eastern Star Order of the White Shrine of Jerusalem Order of Amaranth Order of DeMolay Daughters of the Easter Star Daughters of the Nile International Order of Job s Daughters International Order of Rainbow Girls Odd fellows Shriners Elks An appropriate summary of the dogma of freemasonry is stated by Rev. Lymon Ellis in Blinded by the Lie: Not one of the thirty three degrees of Freemasonry contains any spiritual truth worth all the secrecy and curses. The secrecy and curses only serve to hide, deceive and confuse those who would exam Masonry more closely. Masonry takes selected bits of Christianity, but sets them on top of a very anti-christian foundation. Membership in one Freemason society (or their related organizations) opens a spiritual gate that is seldom recognizable. For more details about these beliefs and practices, seekers are encouraged to obtain one or more of the following resources, giving much greater detail about the curses of freemasonry and the stories of those who have been freed from their influence.

Prayer for Freedom from Freemasonry (This prayer model has been taken [and adapted] from Unmasking Freemasonry by S. Stevens; it is used with permission.) Have the seeker read the following prayer aloud. While this prayer is lengthy, the extra time is of little consequence to the benefit of assuring that all open gates are closed.

I renounce all spiritual searching into false religions and all my striving to please God, who already knows and loves me eternally. I rest in the knowledge that I have found my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and that I am no more lost to Him He has found me. I will burn all objects in my possession which connect me with all lodges and occult organizations, including masonry, and witchcraft, their regalia, aprons, books of rituals, rings, and other apparel and jewelry. I renounce the effects these (or other objects of masonry, such as the compass, the square, the noose, or the blindfold) have had upon me or any members of my family, in Jesus blessed name. Holy Spirit, I ask that you show me anything else I need to do or from which I need to pray, so that I and all members of my family may be totally free from the consequences of the sins of masonry, witchcraft, and paganism and from any and all things unrighteous. Now, Father God, I ask humbly for the blood of Jesus Christ, your Son, to cleanse me from all these sins of which I have confessed and renounced, to cleanse my spirit, my soul, my mind, my emotions, and every part of my body which has been affected by these sins, in Jesus holy name! I renounce every evil spirit associated with masonry, witchcraft, and all other sins, and I command in the name of Jesus Christ for Satan and every evil spirit to be bound and to leave me now, touching or harming no one, and that they go to the place appointed by the Lord Jesus, never again to return to me or any member of my family. I call on the name of the Lord Jesus alone to be delivered of these spirits, in accordance with the many promises mentioned in the Bible. I ask to be delivered of every spirit of sickness, infirmity, curse, affliction, addiction, disease, or allergy associated with these sins of which I have confessed and renounced. I surrender to God s Holy Spirit and to no other spirit all the places in my life where these sins have been. I ask you, Lord, to baptize me in your Holy Spirit now, according to the promises of your Word. I take to myself the whole armor of God in accordance with Ephesians chapter six and rejoice in its protection as Jesus surrounds me and fills me with His Holy Spirit. I enthrone you, Lord Jesus, within my heart, for you are my Lord and my Savior, the source of eternal life. Thank you, Father God, for your mercy, your forgiveness, and your life, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen. (Note: Those who have actually been involved in the various degrees of freemasonry are encouraged to symbolically do the following, as they read the prayer above.) 1. Symbolically remove the blindfold (hoodwink) and give it to the Lord for disposal. 2. In the same way, symbolically remove the veil of mourning. 3. Symbolically cut and remove the noose from around the neck; gather it up with the cable-tow running down the body and give it all to the Lord for His disposal.

9 Renounce the false freemasonry marriage covenant, removing from the 4 th finger of the right hand the ring of this false marriage covenant and giving it to the Lord to dispose of. 5. Symbolically remove the chains and bondages of freemasonry from your body. 6. Symbolically remove all freemasonry regalia and armor, especially the apron. 7. Symbolically remove the ball and chain from the ankles. 8. Repent of and seek forgiveness for having walked on unholy ground, including freemasonry lodges and temples. 9. Proclaim that Satan and his demons no longer have any legal right to mislead and manipulate you. Reversing the Effects of Freemasonry By Linda Heidler E:mail: lheidler7@aol.com (These are from power point slides condensed from the International Society of Deliverance Ministers 2011 Annual Conference in Oklahoma City, OK) Let us look at the rituals involved in initiation into Freemasonry to show how they affect us and how these effects can be reversed. We usually go through the different steps in the ceremony and repent and renounce the symbols, but do not look at the effect they have on the entire person. When you look at the symbolism of each step, what you see is a well thought out and thorough system designed to capture the spirit, soul and body of a person as well as to gain control of their identity, destiny and value. Each step of the ceremony requires the person to relinquish part of who they are to Freemasonry. Repenting and renouncing does not restore what was lost in the ceremony. Reclaiming what was relinquished allows a person to submit to God and resist the devil more effectively. Effect on Identity, Worth and Destiny 1. Removal Of Clothing. Clothing is linked to identity. The person is stripped of their identity and given a new identity - pajamas. Not for going out, passive, sleep. Later, they are given garments which identify them as Masons. 2. Removal Of All Valuables money, keys, rings and other jewelry. These have to do with a person s value, both personal and material. Their God given intrinsic worth and value as a person is lost. Their personal value now comes from how valuable they are to Freemasonry. 3. Slipshod Slipper & Checkerboard. The right foot has a slipper put on it, designed to make their walk slippery. Their path is not clear, but a mixture of darkness and light. Their ability to find the path for their life and fulfill their destiny becomes uncertain. Effect on Soul

10 Hoodwink Head is covered, intellect, mind is surrendered to Freemasonry 5. Cable Tow Person is bound and led by someone else, free will is surrendered to Freemasonry 6. Dagger To Left Breast Heart, seat of emotion is exposed and submitted to Freemasonry. All elements of the soul, the mind, emotion and will are all surrendered to Freemasonry. Effects on the Body 7. Vows And Oaths Curses Spoken Against The Body.- All internal organs endocrine and immune systems the reproductive system the eyes, brain, ears and tongue all extremities. Effect on the Spirit 8. Seeking The Light Of Freemasonry -This statement submits the spirit of the person to the deception of Freemasonry. Spiritual discernment is lost. A spirit that opposes the Holy Spirit is given preeminence. The person is captured in false worship and is deceived into believing that it is worship of the true God. The stated purpose of the first degrees is to conceal the higher truths from initiates. Not until they have gone further are they introduced to worship of Greek, Hindu, Norse and Egyptian gods. By committing their spirit to the light of Freemasonry, they have committed to all of this. Effects on Health God has pronounced judgments against those who worship the gods of Egypt. The whole issue of Israel in Egypt was worship. The plagues were all to show the superiority of the God of Israel over the gods of Egypt. At Passover, the Lord said for them to separate themselves from the gods of Egypt. The sign of this was the blood of the lamb on the doorposts and lintel. It says that when Israel left Egypt that night, there was not one feeble or sick among them. After they crossed the Red Sea, the Lord promised them that if they did not return to worshipping the gods of Egypt, that none of the diseases of Egypt would come on them. The converse is also true. If you worship the gods of Egypt, you will get the diseases of Egypt. Egypt had every kind of disease known. One of the reasons they were so advanced in medicine was that they had so many diseases. In Freemasonry, you are involved in direct worship of the gods of Egypt, so in addition to all the things you pronounce on yourself, you also get what God has pronounced on you, all the diseases of Egypt. Freedom from Freemasonry Often we break outward forms, but not the reality behind them. We repent of and renounce the hoodwink, but do not reclaim our intellect. We renounce the cable tow, but do not

11 102 reclaim our will. It is very effective to go to each area that has been affected and deal with the reality of what has been done through the ceremony. Once we have repented of and renounced what was done, then the body, soul and spirit can be reclaimed. Until we reclaim what was lost, we cannot fully submit it to God. Once we are fully submitted to God, we can fully resist the devil. Ministering this revelation has produced wonderful results in both healing and inner healing. Most people struggle with the issues of identity, value and destiny. When these are defined and determined by the structure of Freemasonry, a person is bound to the identity, value and worth assigned to them by Freemasonry. Reclaiming the identity that God created has set many people free from feeling like they are a cog in a wheel or a pawn in someone else s game. Reclaiming personal value has set people free from feeling pressured to earn or prove their worth. Reclaiming God ordained destiny has given many, confidence to pursue the call of God on their lives. All of these work together to produce a person who lives in the knowledge that they are loved, valued and have a purpose in life. The devil will take whatever he is allowed to take. We have seen that once people understand what has happened to them and reclaim what was abdicated, they are excited to be able to resist the devil and to possess their own vessel. As they recover their souls, they have increased discernment to hear God and to recognize error. We have seen people set free from tormenting thoughts and self-rejection. People have also sensed that they are free to be who God created them to be. Many have come for ministry - who have prayed to break the power of Freemasonry from their lives but have not experienced the full release they expected. This ministry has taken them a step further in personal restoration and confidence to resist the Devil.
