We who preach the gospel must not think of ourselves as public relations agents sent to establish good will between Christ and the world. We must not imagine ourselves commissioned to make Christ acceptable to big business, the press, the world of sports or modern education. We are not diplomats but prophets, and our message is not a compromise but an ultimatum. A.W. Tozer
Therefore let God-inspired Scripture decide between us; and on whichever side be found doctrines in harmony with the word of God, in favor of that side will be cast the vote of truth. --Basil of Caesarea
Once you learn to discern, there's no going back. You will begin to spot the lie everywhere it appears.

I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service. 1 Timothy 1:12

A "Religious Spirit"?!?


The following was posted on Facebook this morning by Famine in the Land.


Ben Armstrong is the Prophetic Ministries Director at Bethel Church. Ben is working hard at marketing the upcoming Dream Life | School of Interpretation this March. For $119, you'll receive "Two and a half days of teaching and training from seasoned prophetic voices" - including false prophet Kris Vallotton. The school will supposedly give you the "skills to steward your encounters with God and share them with the world," and "deeper intimacy and refreshment through worship and soaking in God’s presence”


Ben says "God is wanting to bring dreams back as a regular language of intimacy."  What is God waiting for? - perhaps for the dream school attendees at Bethel to be trained, activated, fully soaked, and then release things? 


This is just another Bethel scam to mark and avoid.

Agglomeration

I’ve been bombarded with items this past couple weeks and the items really need to be broadcast to as many Christians (and even non-believers) as possible; we need to teach discernment and educate people about the truth of the Christian faith and doctrines.


I’m going to start, though, with an excellent teaching about REAL spiritual warfare. You don’t need to “bind” Satan (and can’t anyway).


A good article exposing the false idea of “many paths to God” is by Don and Joy Veinot of Midwest Christian Outreach apologetics ministry.


Biologos purports to teach about God and science but they really deny the Word of God and don’t even use real science; they just make speculations, assumptions and assertions about the past and therefore ignore what God tells us. Answers In Genesis has a 3-part examination of Biologos’ heresy and false teachings, as well as responding to their claims of misrepresentation. Part 1, Part 2 and Part 3.  I strongly suggest avoiding the use of Biologos for any research.


Sometime back I read an article about the relationship between David and Bathsheba, with a claim that David raped Bathsheba. I don’t remember the author but I just don’t see that in Scripture. When a well-known and (too-well) respected teacher such as John Piper teaches this, I have to alert my readers again to avoid Piper’s teachings like the plague.


“Slain in the Spirit” is a fraud. It has become a popular teaching by TV heretics as well as by those leading the many false revivals. Biblically, there is no such thing.


Lighthouse Trails has an excellent short article (available also as a booklet) expose major problems with “The Chosen” video series. Christians should not be watching or recommending this blasphemous trash.


Jennifer Eivaz is a New Apostolic Reformation “prophetess” (as will as an “associate minister”). Of course she is “par for the course” when it comes to the NAR, even though I’ve never before heard of her! Famine in the Land is an excellent site for keeping up with the false teachings of the NAR, Hillsong, Bethel, et al. I first read of Eivaz via a 2017 article from them which was recently posted on Facebook. The other post, from 2019, was also recently posted on FB and it reviews her book Glory Carriers, which was mentioned in the 2017 article. This woman’s teachings are dangerous—have nothing to do with her!


The meme at the beginning of this post comes from an article exposing Bethel Music as a “Trojan Horse” of false teachings. In this vein, Midwest Christian Outreach has an article discussing other ministries’ music and the “worship wars” among churches which have developed over the years.


The Presbyterian Church (USA) continues it’s spiral of heresy and other false teachings as they bear false witness against Israel with claims they are enslaving the so-called “Palestinians” and false claims in regards to the founding of Israel (among the many other false teachings promoting the LGBTQ agenda, women in the pulpit, etc).


Michael O. Emerson provides “learning resources” for “Christian leaders and their institutions,” yet he claims that 2/3 of “white practicing Christians are not followers of Christianity” but are “followers of the religion of whiteness.” He has brought Critical Race Theory to Christianity to make white Christians nothing but a bunch of racists. So why are “Christian leaders and their institutions” wasting money with this racist?


Beth Moore is now whining that John MacArthur has not apologized for hurting her feelings by speaking the truth.


Well, if you have the time I have three videos to recommend for your education (usually listen to these types of videos while doing other things):


J.D.Greear laments that real Christians are leaving his “woke” church. The video is just short of 24 minutes long


As I have noted in previous posts, the Passion Translation” of the Bible is a dangerous publication coming from the NAR. This video exposes some of the issues with it. 38 minutes long.


This last video is almost 45 minutes long, but exposes some dangerous wolves posing as Christian teachers. Some of the examples are claims of channelling God, claims to speak for God, claims that God has a covenant with the USA, and many false prophecies by so-called “prophets.”

More Bethel False Teaching


This video is about false teacher/heretic David Hogan. Disgusting lies and behavior. And fake "Christians" following him and believing this nonsense. Very sad.

Agglomeration


I decided to do another one of these posts because I’ve had a lot of stuff which has been shared on sites I follow, and I really think the alerts should go out to everyone. So here is my newest collection of warnings.  Among these are several videos—if you have the time to watch them.


The Revoice movement is invading conservative evangelical assemblies because people really aren’t taking the spiritual danger seriously or are ignorantly accepting it. We even have David Platt’s approval.


Avoid Lifeway Bookstores; buying from them just helps support the rampant heresies they are selling.


The Toronto “revival” of the early 1990s and the move it took to Brownsville, FL (the Pensacola revival) was spiritually dangerous and heavily loaded with false teachings. I believe there was a lot of demonic activity with it, especially the very bizarre manifestations (although some are probably just people wanting attention). The first good church we found in our area in 1996 ended splitting because the pastor and too many followers of charismania were raving about and praising the one in Brownsville. I think Christians still need to be aware of what goes on in such fake revivals. I just don’t understand how intelligent people can accept and/or follow such unholy stuff. Here’s video with some investigation of Toronto.


As I have written (and said) over and over, the ELCA should be called the Evil Leftist Church in America. I can’t see how any true Christian would tolerate this stuff.


Hillsong’s Christmas program was as sleazy as usual. If there are real Christians there, why do they put up with it? 


Beth Moore went over to the Anglican Church in September 2021. I guess she wanted to be where women could be up front in the service preforming duties normally reserved for pastoral staff. Elizabeth Prata has an excellent article about the situation.


This video may be a bit long for you to watch; I watched/listened to it while doing other things. It’s about the deadly wolf Shawn Bolz.  No one should be listening to him.


Just as evil, and I think demonic, is Todd White. This video is only 10 minutes but it is a good example what a hungry wolf White is.  A more thorough, 44 minute video, really proves what a deceiver White is.


This next video is 23 minutes long, but soundly debunks the whole “Jezebel spirit” nonsense.


Another example of all that is wrong with the blasphemous, heretical and just plain nonsensical video series, “The Chosen.”


Then there’s arch heretic Paula White.


Catholic DePaul University has turned its back on God.


Steven Furtick is a narcissistic dangerous wolf.


When we lived in the Chicago area for 17 years, there was a radio program in the evening called “Shepherd’s Chapel” with Andrew Murray. I found the station when I would be waiting to pick up my daughter from work at the city library. As I listed to it I thought the guy was certifiably nuts but would keep listening to yell at it and then when my daughter rode home with me I’d show her what nonsense this guy was teaching. Christian Apologetics & Research ministry is calling them the “cult of the week”: Shepherd’s Chapel is an independent "Church" in Gravette, AR which was founded by a man named Arnold Murray, who commands a large audience primarily through tv and radio. Arnold denies the Trinity, teaches "Anglo-Israelism" (that the British are the "lost ten tribes" of Israel) and the "serpent seed" doctrine (that Satan had sex with Eve producing Cain and the evil race of "Kenites" still on the earth today). Thus, Shepherd's Chapel is a sub-Christian cult...


Cindy Jacobs (along with her husband) is false-teaching member of the New Apostolic Reformation and really, really needs to be avoided like the plague. Her “prophecies” for 2022 are nothing but money-grubbing. I don’t understand how anyone can listen to this false teacher.



Well, that’s it for now.  Now I need to get back to work on way too many jobs.

Superstition About Demons

 

Did you know a demon called "delay" keeps interfering with your blessings?  This is just more unbiblical nonsense found among the charismatic false teachers.  And the sad thing, the real demonic thing, is how these people cause their non-discerning followers to stumble in the faith.

Do You Deny It?


The fashion industry caters to pride, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, not purity and holiness. Its purpose is not covering the body; but sensually packaging or uncovering it.  The world does not deny this; why then do so many modern Christians?
