We don't claim to have all the answers, but are happy to share what we have learned about these subjects. We don't pretend these materials will meet with universal approval, especially by those who are involved in these deceptive groups & practices. After all - who chooses to be deceived? Deceived people don't know they are. That is why we all need the objective standard of the Bible in our beliefs and lifestyles.
We agree that others are also entitled to their opinions, and so are we. We have no interest in "putting others down", but rather would explain why some views and practices fail the objective Bible tests. We don't believe it is wise to blindly accept every opinion without checking it out. If something is true, it can stand being questioned. But if something is NOT true, then it needs to be questioned! The love of God through Jesus Christ/Yeshua the Messiah requires an honest investigation. We are always learning too.

Normal office hours open: Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday between 10am and

New and exciting opportunities will be revealed here shortly, as we organise
teams for ministry for those who require it. This will be under the
supervision of several local pastors to ensure accountability.
There will be a requirement for all coming for ministry to complete a
Ministry Questionnaire first, before an appointment will be confirmed. This
will help us assess who is best to deal with the person's needs, and whether
Jubilee is the right place for such help. Referrals to other agencies will
also be considered, depending on the issues involved.
Our Primary Purpose
To inform, equip and resource Christians so they can be seed-scatterers and harvesters for the Kingdom of God in their sphere of influence (e.g. work places, neighbourhood and family), to people ensnared in the spiritual darkness and deception of religious cults, New Age Occultism and Secret Societies such as Freemasonry & other lodges. In addition, we are seeking to provide effective discipleship for maturing Christians.Resources
Extensive range of Books, Audio CD's & Video DVD's, Bible Studies, & Counselling resources from:- Jubilee Resources, plus the full range of text books required for the
Christian Counselling courses for Jubilee Training Institute.
Information about many Christian Ministries
We do this through ...
Resources, including books, CD's, DVD's and tracts, by mail order worldwide, and through other ministries and Christian bookshops in many countries. We have published over 100 titles.Training Courses and seminars with local churches and community groups, especially with youth and school groups to warn about cults and the occult and the consequences; and equipping how to minister to the hurting or deceived with the love of Jesus. T.V. programmes - our New Age and Cult seminars have screened on Elijah TV/TBN on N.Z.'s Telstra cable network. Counselling needs are usually referred to competent and mature pastors and other counsellors whose work is under Biblical authority and accountability. It takes teamwork, and we are privileged to work with or are linked to over 750 other ministries throughout most of the world.
We also have hundreds of Intercessory Prayer Supporters in several countries. Your positive prayers are welcome and essential. A regular prayer and newsletter is available on request, either posted or E-mailed.
The International and each National Board of Jubilee Resources is accountable to a Board of Reference. These include denominational leaders and pastors, a psychiatrist, counselling medical and scientific experts, legal and accounting practitioners, plus ex-cult and ex-Masonic members. We know that the best defence against deception is to be accountable and Bible-based. Jubilee Resources in each country is a registered educational and religious charitable organisation or has applied for this status.
Jubilee Seminar Topics Include ...

for the way this material is presented, on www.jubilee.org.nz/videompegclips.htm)
"Freemasonry - Fifth Column in The Church
and Family"

Jesus achieved at Calvary; Masonic curses & their deadening effects on

in a number of countries.)

otherwise; How to protect ourselves, our families, & our Churches - it's
called "Spiritual Warfare". Then this also covers Baptism &
Filling with the Holy Spirit, and the release of the Spiritual Gifts of the

He who believes in Me [who cleaves to and trusts in and relies on Me]
as the Scripture has said, From his inner being shall flow [continuously]
springs and rivers of living water."
John 7:37-38 AMP
[hold fast to My teachings and live in accordance with them],
you are truly My disciples.
And you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.
John 8:31-32 AMP
Statement of Faith
1. In one God, eternally existent in three persons, Father, Son and Holy
Spirit. This God is the creator and sustainer of all things.
2. God in revealing Himself inspired the Holy Scriptures so they are
entirely trustworthy and have supreme authority in all matters of
doctrine, faith and conduct.
3. All people were made for fellowship with God but have disobeyed Him, so
all people have become sinners, guilty in His sight and alienated from
Him.
4. In our Lord Jesus Christ, God manifest in the flesh yet truly human,
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin. Even though He remained
sinless, He took on Himself the sin of the world and died on the cross of
Calvary as our representative and substitute. God showed His love for all
people and provided the only way for them to be forgiven from the guilt
penalty, set free from the power of sin and reconciled fully to Him
through the atoning death, shed blood and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
5. In the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, His ascension
into heaven where He sits at the right hand of the Father, in His personal
physical return and the judgement of all the world by Him.
6. The Holy Spirit brings people to individually trust Christ, repent of
their sins and be baptised in water as Jesus commanded. He lives in them,
and develops their new lives in Christ, thus enabling the believer to live
a holy life, and to work and witness for Him in the fellowship of the
Church which is the Body of Christ.
7. The Holy Spirit equips the Church to carry out God's purposes through
the baptism of the believer with the Holy Spirit as evidenced by spiritual
fruit and gifts.
8. In the resurrection of the body, the eternal blessedness of God's
presence of the righteous, and the eternal punishment and separation from
God of the wicked.
