Dick’s story

The story of Richard “Dick” Wallrath’s life is one of inspirational proportions. Despite the depths of severe alcoholism, lost family, and the tragic death of his youngest child to cancer, Dick Wallrath found the strength to overcome because of his faith.

Dick Wallrath has had, in many ways, a very American life. He overcame extreme circumstances, largely of his own making, to be a great American success story. He has dedicated his life of sobriety (44 years and counting…) to helping others by way of providing hundreds of scholarships to Texas 4H and FFA high school students to attend college. He has spent everyday of sobriety trying to mend his broken family and overcome years of separation in order to reunite with his children and grandchildren.

His life can truly happen “only in America” and his patriotism, love of country, faith in God, and undying Texas spirit is at the core of his comeback from a knock down drunk who lost everything to a very successful Texas businessman who prides himself on treating everyone with fairness and respect in which he demands in return.

Deep In The Heart is the story of his journey, “whisky bumps” and all.

False Messiah(s)

February 17, 2012 in iCareNOW, News & Views

“At that time if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Messiah!’ or, ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.” Matthew 24:23-25

“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ Matthew 7:21-23

“And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14

A false messiah in these last days exactly as Jesus predicted. Ever since the time of Jesus, there have been false messiah’s on the scene. For 13 years here at Liveprayer, I have warned people about the true beliefs of the satanically inspired Mormon cult that is the most dangerous and deceptive cult today because they claim to be Christians, claim to believe in God and Jesus, use the Bible, speak in “Christianese, and have copied much of traditional Christianity, even though a Mormon is no more a Christian than a Muslim is!

*You can go to the Daily Devotional archives on the Liveprayer.com homepage and type in keyword MORMON to pull up all of the Devotionals I have written over the years about this cult and high profile members of this cult like Beck and Romney.

It is only when you study what they actually believe that you come to understand their “god” and “jesus” are NOT the God and Jesus of the Bible, and their final theological authority is NOT the Bible, a book they view as incomplete and flawed, but the writings of their cult’s founder Joseph Smith that includes the Book of Mormon, the Pearl of Great Price, and the Doctrines and Covenants.

There is perhaps not a more dangerous man alive today than Mormon cult member Glenn Beck. Jesus said don’t worry about the man who can kill your body, worry about the man who can kill your soul! Beck is a man I first started warning people about a decade ago during the Elizabeth Smart affair, LONG before most people even knew who he was. I was all alone in the national media during the Smart affair, helping people understand that at the center of that tragic story was the Mormon cult.

Smart’s father was a bishop in the Mormon cult. She was most likely kidnapped to be a “bride” by a someone who followed the true teachings of Mormonism, something that happens often in the western states though is rarely reported on, where pure Mormonism (including polygamy) is adhered to. I was attacked by Beck and the Mormon cult just like they attack and try to intimidate into silence anyone who dares to tell the truth about their true beliefs and teachings, the same thing the baby killers, homosexuals, Muslims, and other anti-Biblical groups do.

Beck, through his national radio program (that became nationally syndicated years ago through Premiere which is the syndication arm of Clear Channel that happens to be owned by Mitt Romney’s former company Bain Capital whose top leadership is almost exclusively made up of Mormons), his TV programs, his internet sites, has used his conservative political ideology as a backdrop to amass a large following that he “preaches” to.

The vast majority of Beck’s audience are Christians. Sadly, in this day of watered down, gutless, politically correct preaching, most people who still go to church are Biblically illiterate. They become a perfect target for a false messiah like Beck to lie to that he is also a Christian, confirming that through his use of the word God and Jesus, though once agian, the “god” and “jesus” of Beck’s cult are NOT the God and Jesus of the Bible, and quoting from the Bible, despite believing it to be a flawed and incomplete book thus requiring the writings of his cult that he NEVER reads from.

In this day when there is an incredible void of true spritual leadership, a day where men of God have compromised and cashed in on their leadership to build their own kingdoms, it is a perfect atmosphere for a false messiah like Beck to emerge. Beck feeds a hunger people have to hear the spritual side of the issues of the day addressed, something few Christians will do since their first concern is money, not the Truth or souls.

Like others cult members, for Beck to have credulity within the Christian community he had to find high profile Christians he could “buy” in order for his deception to work. Just like the founder of the Unification Church cult, Sun Myung Moon bought and paid off the top evangelical leaders of the 80s to gain credibly, Beck has followed the same tried and true gameplan. Sadly, supposed men of God have fallen over themselves to kiss Beck’s ring and help him sell his lie of being a Christian.

If you remember, another Mormon cult member Mitt Romney also bought off high profile Christians in his bid to be President in 2008, and is doing the same thing in his current bid for the White House. High profile Christians like Jay Sekulow, Ralph Reed, Mark DeMoss, and host of others have been quick to sell out the faith to give Romney credibly within the Christian community without regard for the souls he may help end up in hell!

For Beck, it was Wallbuilders founder David Barton, Jim and Betty Robison, John Hagee, disgraced televangelist Mike Evans, and a long list of others, including many Christian churches who support Beck and his various efforts of “good works,” which is a belief by members of Beck’s cult that is required for salvation. Is the discernment in the church so lacking, or are a few extra dollars so important, that these supposed men of God will expose their followers to a man who represents satan?

For the record, I have put in numerous calls to Barton and Hagee to chat with them about their affiliation with Beck, but they refuse to be held accountable on this issue. How can these men stand on Christian TV and preach hellfire and damnation, yet when face to face with a tool of satan leading souls to hell, never ONCE confronts him for his false beliefs? Instead, they support and advocate all that Beck says since they have found a man who can help them raise tons of money through his audience! How sad it is to see supposed men of God stand with satan for a few sheckles that will one day mean nothing, while innocent souls they help influence with burn in hell for all eternity

As one of the few who has been brave enough to exposed these modern day Judas’ who obviously could care less about the souls of men, it has been encouraging to see the number of people now lambasting them for associating with a cult member like Beck. Some of these ministries have put out damage control statements that in short say Beck produces good fruit, so he is OK.

Others associated with Beck have put out the false claim that is now a Christian since he has spoken at and attended a few services at Gateway Church in Dallas, Tx. If you see this lie being circulated, know that it is NOT TRUE! According to transcripts of his radio program in just the past few days, Beck continues to proudly proclaim he is a Mormon and attends a Mormon church in the Dallas area.

I recently had an email exchange with Gateway Senior Pastor Tom Lane and asked him why he would allow the member of a satanic cult to preach to his congregation, and if he had ever spoken to Beck to explain to him why he has bought into a false theology that he must renounce or die and go to hell. Of course he has never had that conversation with Beck, nor in checking, has his church had any teachings in the past year about the true beliefs of Beck’s cult.

I had a similar email exchange the other day with Randy Robison, the son of James Robison. Again, just the same standard damage control while accusing me of having a “deeply religious spirit” for daring to question why his father was publicly giving credibility to a cult member, and by not challenging Beck’s claim to be a Christian, supporting his lie! Of course there is no answer other than the publicity they get from appearing in Beck’s various media platforms, while in turn, Beck gets the undeserved credibility he needs to perpetuate the lie that he is a Christian.

So it is clear, my only concern about Beck and those who support him is one thing…SOULS! At the end of the day, we will all die. At that moment, the only thing that will matter is if you have accepted the Jesus of the Bible by faith or not. IT MATTERS WHAT JESUS YOU PUT YOUR FAITH IN!!! The Bible is full of warnings about those who promote a false gospel and preach a false Jesus!

To comprehend where Beck is coming from, you must first comprehend the false beliefs of the Mormon cult. Mormonism is a polytheistic cult. Their “god” is not the God of the Bible, but was once a man like you and I who evolved into god-like status and was given this planet to rule over. The satanic Mormon cult teaches that if you live according to their false beliefs, any man can become a god and have his own planet to rule over upon death.

Mormonism is steeped in apocalyptic beliefs, thus explaining Beck’s preoccupation with the end times. Like all Mormons, Beck believes the “White Horse Prophecy” of Joseph Smith, the murdering, polygamist, pedophile, racist founder of the Mormon cult that states our nation will undergo incredible economic and political unrest (sound familiar?), and a Mormon (Romney? Huntsman?) will be elected President to save the nation. In order to do that, the U.S. Constitution will be suspended and this country will be operated as a Mormon theocracy.

Don’t think Beck believes this? Ever wonder why he is so big on storing up food and gold? Why else unless he believes some sort of catastrophic event will disrupt life as we know it is going to occur? Please, don’t take my word for anything I am saying, look it up for yourselves. There are plenty of websites you can Google that clearly lay out what Mormons believe. When Beck talks about “what the Lord is calling him to do,” it is to lead this last days Mormon revolution as Paul Revere, with Mitt Romney being George Washington!

Of course, Beck, like all Mormons (and I have debated dozens of their top apologists over the years) is a masterful liar, just like the founder of his cult, SATAN (John 8:44). He will never admit to what he truly believes, since that would destroy the $30 million a year business he has built, mostly money coming from Christians! Beck brags about tithing over 10%.

WHO DO YOU THINK HE IS TITHING THAT MONEY TO? I AM SURE HE AND SATAN GET A GREAT LAUGH OUT OF THE FACT HE IS DUPING CHRISTIANS TO MAKE HIM RICH, AND HE IN TURN, IS GIVING MILLIONS ANNUALLY TO HELP HIS MORMON CULT LEAD UNSUSPECTING SOULS TO HELL THROUGH THEIR LIES!

I love you and care about you so much. Pray that Glenn Beck will renounce the lies of his cult and come to faith in the Jesus of the Bible. In the meantime, it is my duty to warn you of wolves seeking to ravage the flock. In the passages from the Bible today, Jesus was very clear in His warning of those who would come in His name in the last days. We have a classic example of that in Glenn Beck.

Beck is now using the tens of millions he has amassed, mostly from the Christian community, to start his own online new service, a propaganda mill that will only put out news from his viewpoint. He has his own publishing company to promote books he believes in. After being removed from FOX (make no mistake, he was not given the choice to stay), his TV show is now online, for a fee.

Please hear this clear. At the end of the day, Glenn Beck is about one thing, and that is leading souls to hell through the false teachings of his satanic Mormon cult. Only God knows how many souls will burn for all eternity due to his efforts. Worse yet, how many will burn in hell for all eternity due to the Christians, churches, and supposed Christian leaders who supported the efforts of this cult member.

*WITHOUT THE SUPPORT OF THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY, GLENN BECK FADES INTO THE WOODWORK OF SOCIETY TO PROPAGATE THE PERVERTED VIEWS OF HIS CULT TO A HANDFUL OF THE IGNORANT, KEEPING UNTOLD THOUSANDS OF SOULS FROM HELL! I HAVE HEARD BECK SAY HE WANTS TO CHANGE THE WORLD. HOW CAN THE MEMBER OF A SATANIC CULT CHANGE THE WORLD FOR ANYTHING BUT THE AGENDA OF SATAN???

Sadly, the overall message of Beck is a correct one. As I have been preaching for over the last decade, there is only one hope for this nation, this world, and each person. That is faith in the Jesus of the Bible. The jesus of the Mormon cult is not even a deity, but a creation of a sexual union between Mary and their “god” who was once a man. That is why no matter how much they claim to love and worship Jesus, claiming to give their life to Him, the jesus of Smith is NOT the Jesus of the Bible and they are still lost in their sins and will burn in hell upon their death.

The better percentage of two full generations have never even been to church. Even those who do go, are for the most part Biblically illiterate, or in some liberal, or watered down church that has abandoned the Absolute Truth of the Bible That is why the climate is perfect for a revival, but also perfect for the cults, false religions, and new age movements to be very successful in leading searching and unsuspecting souls to hell through their lies from satan.

Beck is a smart man. I have no doubt he knows EXACTLY what his cult believes. That is why you will never hear him read from the Book of Mormon, only the Bible. If Beck has decided that he wants to believe in the fantasies of Smith, that he will die and inherit his own planet, that is fine. But it is not fine for him to use the incredible influence he has gained through his commentary on politics, to use the Christian community, to help him make tens of millions each year while leading the eternal souls of suspecting people to hell!

In His love and service, Your friend and brother in Christ,

HLI Rejects Administration’s Attempt to Undermine Freedom of Religion and Conscience

February 13, 2012 in iCareNOW, News & Views

HLI President Father Shenan J. Boquet made the following statement in response to the Obama administration’s proposed “compromise” on the contraception/sterilization/ abortifacient mandate.

“We at Human Life International stand with the Catholic bishops and a diverse group of organizations and individuals in rejecting the false compromise offered by the Obama administration in an apparent attempt to gain wider acceptance of the mandate that requires free coverage of contraception, sterilization, and abortion inducing drugs.”

“Having closely examined all available information on the compromise, we are appalled at the cynicism displayed by both its content and the means by which it was announced. The original unjust mandate required that conscientious objectors to this policy would be forced to pay for insurance that will cover morally abhorrent ‘care.’ With the so-called compromise we are still forced to pay for insurance that covers procedures and drugs that directly contradict our religious beliefs. The compromise is a distinction without a difference and merely an accounting trick that does nothing to change the fact that we will have to pay for chemical abortions, sterilizations and contraception for any employee.”

“The Obama administration’s verbal engineering is an egregious and blatant attempt to divide certain Catholic organizations from others and from the bishops, all in an effort to secure even the thinnest possible façade of Catholic approval. Sadly, the administration has found prominent organizations to be complicit in this calculated move. It should be noted that though the bishops were not consulted on this compromise, it appears that Catholic Health Association (CHA) and Catholic Charities USA were consulted and their agreement secured before the bishops even had an opportunity to examine the proposal. The Obama administration’s proposal was clearly not an attempt at ‘fair minded’ dialogue and genuine compromise.”

“The apparent agreement between the Obama administration, CHA, Catholic Charities and Planned Parenthood is utterly untenable from a Catholic point of view, requiring that we become complicit in evil.”

“It appears that the stalwart unified voice of bishops, laity, Catholics and all citizens of good will compelled the administration to offer this weak, symbolic compromise because of questions about what the mandate meant for President Obama’s reelection campaign. We have seen clearly the ideological goals this administration is pushing with this unjust mandate. We can only imagine what will be inflicted on Catholics and on all Americans should the president win reelection and not have to worry about currying favor with Catholics.”

“Under the Affordable Care Act (‘Obamacare’), the HHS has entirely too much unchecked power over health care in the United States, and given their history of disregard for both religious liberty and human life, we have no confidence that the federal government can be trusted to administer health care that respects the dignity of every human person from conception to natural death. Not only do we support legislation currently being considered in Congress to ensure clear and strong protection for freedom of religion and conscience, but we also call upon our political leaders to repeal the Affordable Care Act in its entirety so that it may be replaced by a system in which human life and dignity, and the principles of solidarity and subsidiarity, are secured.”

“This compromise offered by President Obama demands that we compromise our religious beliefs and our commitment to the health and life of women and children while they compromise nothing. We at Human Life International stand with our Bishops and call upon the administration to honor the freedom endowed by God and honored by our nation’s Bill of Rights. We will render unto Caesar only that which belongs to him and not what belongs to God.”

Earnestly Content For THE FAITH

February 12, 2012 in Bible Studies, iCareNOW, News & Views

Jude 3: Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

THE FACTS

Lets inquire of what GOD says about what GOD gives to those who are His. Those who He has called to eventual Glory.

John 8:36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

Psalm 34:8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 34:22 The LORD redeems his servants; no one will be condemned who takes refuge in him.

Psalm 5:11 But let all who take refuge in you be glad; let them ever sing for joy. Spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may rejoice in you.

TRUST IN HIM FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS, ETERNAL LIFE, AND HAPPINESS!

Psalm 84:12 OH LORD Almighty, blessed is the man who trusts in you.

Jeremiah 17:7 “But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in him.

Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. ALL! are blessed who put their trust in him. All need him as a Savior; all will find him to be a Savior adapted to their every need according to His perfect will for us.. All who do this are happy; all are safe in time and in eternity. This great truth is stated everywhere in the Bible; and to induce the children of men – weak, and guilty, and helpless – to put their trust in the Son of God, is the great design of all the communications which God has made to mankind.

HERE IS THE LOVE OF CHRIST IN THE GOSPEL OF HIS GRACE. COME UNTO ME, ALL… AND I WILL REST YOU!

CHRIST OFFERED HIMSELF FOR OUR SINS. HE FINISHED IT ON THE CROSS. HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD FOR OUR ETERNAL LIFE. HE WILL NEVER GIVE UP ONE OF HIS BRETHREN IN THE FLESH. THAT IS HIS UNFAILING PROMISE.

1 John 2:25: And this is the promise that he has promised us, even eternal life.

John 10:28: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 17:2: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.

John 17:9: I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine.

TO DENY THE ETERNAL SAVING GRACE OF GOD THE SON IS TO DENY THE FATHER AS WELL AND IS A BOLD FACED HERESY! FOR A PROFESSED CHRISTIAN TO QUESTION THE ETERNAL SECURITY OF A BELIEVER WARRANTS THAT THEY EXAMINE THEM SELF AS TO WHETHER THEY ARE TRULY SAVED ACCORDING TO CHRIST

DO WE TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD? OR ARE WE “RELIGIOUS” ONLY AND CANNOT DISCERN WHAT HE HAS PROMISED US?

John 8: 42 Jesus said to them, “If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. 44 You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47 He who belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.”

SATAN’S DEATH PROJECTED BY FALSE TEACHERS SO INFLUENCED. A FALSE GOSPEL!

Christ died for all the sins of sinners ever, but only some willingly receive God’s Great Love Gift in Christ. For man is born dead to God having a sin nature without spiritual connection, living death, in trespasses and sins, without the “life” that is only in Christ, who is “the bread of life” and the true “light” in this dark world and it’s ruler, Satan, who holds the power of death over all the lost.

HERE ARE THE LORD’S WORDS WHICH SHALL NEVER CHANGE

John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 3:36: He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.

1 John 5:11: And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

John 10:28: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

John 10:29-30: My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father’s hand. I and the Father are one.

God Is greater – Is more powerful. Than all – Than all others – men, angels, devils. The word includes everything – everything that could attempt to pluck us away from God; in other words, it means that God is supreme. It implies, further, that God will keep us, and will so control all other beings and things that we shall be safe. Safe as well from our sins Christ has vanquished from judgment He must render to unbelievers. HE DIED FOR ALL OUR SINS. AND HE WILL NOT GIVE UP ONE OF US, EVER IF WE ARE ONE OF HIS.

None is able – None has power to do it. In these two verses we are taught the following important truths:

1. that Christians are given by God the Father to Christ.

2. that Jesus gives to us eternal life, or procures by his death and intercession, and imparts to us by his Spirit, that faith, by His grace, which shall result in eternal life.

3. that both the Father and the Son are pledged to keep us so that we shall never fall away and perish. It would be impossible for any language to teach more explicitly that His saints will persevere.

4. that there is no power in man or devils to defeat the purpose of the Redeemer to save forever those who are His.

We experience our safety, if we truly, humbly, and daily commit ourselves to God the Savior. In no other way can we have evidence that we are his people than by such a persevering resignation of ourselves to him, to obey his law BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN US, and to follow him.

John 6:37-39: All that the Father gives me shall come to me; and he that comes to me I will in no wise cast out. For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all that he has given me, but raise them up at the last day

All we who become Christians (follow Jesus Christ) may therefore be said to be given to Jesus as the reward of his sufferings, for his death was the price by which we were redeemed. Paul says in Ephesians 1:4-5 that:

“he hath chosen us in him (that is, in Christ) before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love; having predestined us unto the adoption of children to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will.”.

John 6:44: No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

TRUST IN THE LORD:

Proverbs 3:5-6: Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.

Not in our self, in our own heart, which is deceitful; nor in any works of righteousness done by us; not in a profession of religion, or the duties of it, ever so well performed. Trust in our Father. And God the Son, in his person for acceptance; in his righteousness for justification; in his blood for pardon; in his fullness for supply; in his power for protection and preservation; and in him alone for salvation and eternal life. Trust in the Holy Spirit, to carry on and finish the work of grace upon the heart; of which we may be confident that where it is begun it will be completed. And this trust in Father, Son, and Spirit, should be “with all the heart”, sincere. It signifies a faith unfeigned; it is not saying, or professing, that a man believes and trusts in the Lord; but it is with the heart, and with his whole heart, that he believes unto righteousness, if he believes according to scriptures.

Who is Adalid?

February 6, 2012 in iCareNOW, News & Views

 

Adalid (Add-uh-lee) traveled a long journey to be where he is today. Literally. Adalid was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. As a rebellious teenager, he had selfish intentions at heart; make money and make a name for himself.

In high school, you could find him in the lunch line freestyling/ rap battling. The selfish ambitions grew as he started to get recognition and respect for his lyrical talent. Adalid began recording mixtapes and distributing them in his local city hoping to land a record deal. It wasn’t until he was born-again, did he understand his gift or its’ purpose. On June 4, 2005, Adalid had an encounter with God while attending the funeral of a high school classmate. He experienced the tangible presence of God for the first time and was changed forever.

Two months later, the city of New Orleans was devastated by one of the worst disasters to ever hit the United States, Hurricane Katrina. Faced with a difficult decision, he and his fiancé, Crystal, decided to relocate. They moved 700 miles from their home, family and friends. Where did God lead them? A humble town in Indiana called New Albany. It was there that he married Crystal. They both contemplated going back to New Orleans, but God revealed to them that this was where He wanted them to be.

7 years later, Adalid is now living in Louisville, KY and is heavily involved with the youth and travels all over the United States ministering the gospel of Jesus Christ; following the path that God has ordained. Adalid has shared stages with artists such as Lecrae, Tedashii, K-Drama, FLAME and many others. His first mixtape was released in October 2010 entitled, “Work In Progress”. His latest album, “Starvin’” was released on May 10th, 2011.

Adalid’s life is a testimony of Romans 8:28 – “We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.”

 

Adalid is currently promoting his latest project “Starvin” which is now available on iTunes.
