Way
back in 1976 C. Peter Wagner had already expressed a
foundation of sand upon which his entire "apostolic" kingdom
is built. To back up his notions, he and his friends
such asJohn
Wimber,Paul
Cainand many others began to
get the cart before the horse. They tried to create
revival where there was none with unbiblical and even
heretical ideas. They imported occult ideas from false
religions into the churches, such as"slain
in the spirit"and called the results
"revival". The means they used were the
counterfeit revivals of theWord
Of Faith Movement, theVineyard
movement, theToronto
"Blessing", theBrownsville
"Outpouring"and on down the
line to latestTodd
Bentley "Lakeland Revival". The proof that
the means have all been unjustifiable is in the unjustifiable
ends. Lakeland has now come to an apparent abrupt end
due to false healing and dead raising claims, many false
teachings, a false "transferable" anointing, and sexual
misconduct. You can read about these things in ourTodd
Bentleysection. Yet the
leadership of theNew
Apostolic Reformationhas not
even been slowed by yet another bad end brought about by the
self-destruction of the means. In the latest ElijahList
the false prophets are prophesying even greater revivals to
come.
There
is a new phenomenon especially among some island churches
where handkerchiefs are being handed around a congregation
claiming that they have an anointing that can cause people to
be healed and other miraculous things happen to them. The
problem with this idea is especially evident in two things:
(1) that this can and is being considered by many to be
Christian magic and (2) that it is being taught as being
something that should be a normal part of the Christian
experience. It is taught that if you have faith you will
believe in touching the handkerchief that you will be healed,
freed from demons, or get a special anointing. But faith
is not proven by signs and wonders.

Three
Fallacies Of Third Wave Spiritual Warfare Teachings by Sandy
Simpson
When so-called Christians employ Biblical pagan
methods to rid themselves of demons, they end up giving the
enemy an opportunity to deceive them and a foothold in their
lives. When Israel disobeyed the Lord's command to
come down to Jerusalem and worship Him in the temple under
the Law, and instead chose to set up altars in the high
places, the result was that they ended up worshiping
demons. They thought they were worshiping God, but
ended up worshiping Baal and Ashtoreth. You cannot
live a life glorifying to the Lord unless you obey Him.

The Duties of Christian
Leadership by Sandy Simpson
Christians, and especially Christian leadership, are
called to be salt and light in a dark world.
Matt. 5:13-16 "You are the salt of the
earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it
be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything,
except to be thrown out and trampled by men. "You are the
light of the world.A city on a hill
cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it
under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives
light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your
light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds
and praise your Father in heaven.
When the Lord tells us to be salt and light, He
states both the positive and the negative. That is the
way with all Scripture. We can’t just take the positive
and be done with the subject. We have to consider all
the ramifications of being salt and light. Salt is used
to season food and make it taste good. It was and still
is used as a preservative. In the same way Christians
are to be salt in the world. Without the witness of
Christ, without standing for the truth, life is ultimately
tasteless and rotten. Anyone here who was a sinner for
any length of time without the Savior knows what I am talking
about. But the flip side is that salt can lose its
saltiness. Christians can lose their saltiness by
diluting the Gospel message to the point where it is
useless. Let me give you an example of a washed out
Gospel often preached in churches today.

Marriage A
Biblical Illustration Of Our Faith Commitment To Jesus Christ
For Salvation by Sandy Simpson
Marriage as a metaphor for our
relationship to Jesus Christ.
Marriage is used as a metaphor for our
relationship to God many times in the Bible. Let's
look at the picture God wants His people to see about their
relationship to Him, and His relationship to them.
TI have been challenged
lately to think again about what the Gospel message is all
about. This has come as a result of hearing what I
considerto be, at the very least, "gospel lite" and at the
most no gospel at all being presented by a number of
neo-evangelicals, Third Wavers and outrightheretics. The
interesting thing is that many seem to be preaching the
same message. What is most intriguing is that
false teachers like Benny Hinn, ecumenicals, and even some
preachers I would considerto be orthodox in their theology are
preaching a "gospel" that is very similar.The question is:
Is this new gospel message really the Gospel at all?

Leviathan by Sandy Simpson
This creature that existed, and may yet exist,
is used as a description of themightand
power of the enemy.
Isaiah 27:1In that day theLORDwill
punishLeviathanthe
fleeing serpent,WithHis
fierce and great and mighty sword, EvenLeviathanthe
twisted serpent; And He will kill thedragonwholivesin
the sea. (NASB)
Speaking of the “day of the
Lord”, when the Lord comes back again to rule and judge the
earth, Isaiah says that the Lord will punish Leviathan the
dragon.Satan is
likened to leviathan, a serpent, and he is said to live in
the sea.
Revelation 13:1Andthe dragon stood on the
sand of the seashore.Then I saw
a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and
seven heads, and on his hornswereten
diadems, and on his headswereblasphemous
names. (NASB)
Again the dragon comes out of the
sea, which is symbolic of the nations of the world, but
perhaps is also tied to a literal meaning.He
has multiple heads which are symbolic of the heads of the
nations of the end times, but he is also said to have
multiple heads before the symbolism of the nations of the
revived Babylon come into being, as recorded in Ps. 74:14
and Job.
Many Christians today (having allowed themselves to be
diapraxed by false teachers on TV, in books, in seminars and
on tape) have begun to accept a mixture of Pre Mil and Post
Mil doctrines. Many claim they still hold to a Pre
Trib Rapture (or another Pre Mil scenario) and at the same
time would claim that Christians are in a great end times
revival, that "Transformation" is taking place all over the
world, and that our mandate is to retake dominion over the
whole world including its businesses, social agendas and
political arenas (a Post Mil scenario). But what many
"Christians" today do not realize is: the mixture
they have accepted is oxymoronic.
There are two kingdoms being taught in many
churches today. Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on the
decline while the other is being promoted all over the
place. I am warning Christians that they need to check
out who is using the word "kingdom", the books they have
been reading and recommend on building "the kingdom", the
people they have been hanging out with at conferences, and
what they mean by "the kingdom".
There are so many people who claim to be
Christians today, claiming that they are God.Not just a “little god” but God Almighty.I hate to tell them but there is only one God/man who
could ever claim that and His name is Jesus Christ.
1 John 4:4-6
You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them,
because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is
in the world.They are from the world and
therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the
world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever
knows God listens to us; butwhoever is
not from God does not listen to us.This
is how we recognize the Spirit {Or spirit} of truth and the
spirit of falsehood. The reason why false teachers, who deny one or more
of the core doctrines of the Faith, gain so many followers is
that they are saying what the world wants to hear. They
organize their churches so that they cater to unbelievers, and
once non Christians come in they are fed a diet devoid of the
essential nutrition of the Gospel and sound doctrine.
False teachers conduct surveys to see what non-believers are
looking for in a "church" and then provide those things.
False teachers claim they are bringing people into the Kingdom
when in fact they are bringing them out of the world and back
into the world, the only difference now being that they are
spending their money in support of some apostate leader and/or
group.
The NAR proponents claim to be foundational Apostles to
the modern church. This claim is exactly what Paul warned
the Church about regarding false apostles. The term "false
apostles" is used only once in the Bible in 2 Cor. 11:13.
False apostles are identified as those who claim they areequalwith
the the foundational Apostles. The NAR proponents go even
further! They claim to beGREATERthan
the original Apostles.
Jude 1:1-2 Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ
and a brother of James, To those who have been called, who
are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: Mercy,
peace and love be yours in abundance. Jude was the brother
of Jesus Christ. But it is significant that he calls himself
the brother of James. Jude wants everyone to know that,
though he is a half-brother of Jesus Christ through his
mother Mary, he considers himself to be a servant of Jesus.
I’m sure there were those who tried to idolize him for being
the brother of Jesus Christ. If he had the character of some
of the current large crop of false teachers, he would have
written “Jude, the brother of Jesus Christ.” I’m sure if
some of these modern heretics could trace their roots back
to Christ, they would use that information to get support
for themselves and power over people. But Jude does just the
opposite. He calls himself the servant of Jesus Christ. He
is addressing this letter to those who have been called, and
who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ. So
he is addressing this letter to Christians. God has called
every true believer.

Run the Race, Win the Prize by Sandy
Simpson
But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a
Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power
that enables him to bring everything under his control, will
transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his
glorious body. Jesus Christ is coming again. We
are citizens of heaven, not this earth, and Jesus will come
to take us to our homeland. So true believers eagerly
await His coming, unlike those who oppose the cross of
Christ who think they must take dominion over the earth or
laugh at the idea of the Rapture. There are many of
them today. We know that when Jesus comes, by His
power, He will bring everything under His control. We
are not called to do that as the Church. Jesus will do
that when He comes, and when He comes we will be changed and
receive our everlasting bodies that will never wear out.
1 Cor. 15:51-57 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not
all sleep, but we will all be changed in a flash, in the
twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet
will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we
will be changed. For the perishable must clothe itself with
the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. When the
perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the
mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written
will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."
"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your
sting?" The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is
the law. But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Today,
in
a majority of churches, we see the result of the
seeker-friendly,"purpose-driven", church growth,
Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation methods and
teachings and their product I am
calling"Entertainment-style Christianity" (ESC).
But ESC churches are not only missing out on the cutting
edge of true Christianity, but areheading down the road
to apostasy.
True
biblical
Christianity is "interactive". Those in ESC are
taughtto be spectators at mega-church entertainment
events. They are not taught the Bible but rather
to be enamored with the oratoricalskills of the
preacher, and to not dare question anything that is
shoved down the throats of the "laity" by the ruling
"anointed"elite. They are treated to a circus
atmosphere including wild CCM music with people flailing
around and acting like they are on drugs, topreachers
who tell endless stories about themselves and joke about
everything while actually making profundity mundane, to
hula dancing,to banners and marching in the church and
around it, to the blowing of shofars, to slain in the
spirit and wild manifestations. Theirsears are
tickled by guest speakers who make up sermons out of
their own imaginations instead of the written
Word. They are entertainedwith gold dust, gold
fillings, "angel" feathers, "angel" footprints, drunk in
the spirit antics, and during these displays they can go
outand get a latte and a snack at the church snack
bar. They come into these mega churches and leave
without being personally challengedother than with tired
worldly psychology, and without anyone being able to
find out what they are doing in their private
lives. A smallpercentage attend "cell groups"
where they are diapraxed into consensus instead of
challenged to be Bereans and think and act
forthemselves. They live like the world during the
week, then come to church where the world is not only
welcomed but accommodated.
Commentators
seem to think that this section of Habakkuk was addressing
theCeasarsand
their drunken desire for power.Seems
these two things often go together.
Those
who love drunk in the spirit are no exception.They
are trying to get others to share in their debauchery and
the false hope of an end-times worldwide revival,
currently through the Saturate 2020 events.Though
these were two of the hereticaldistinctivesof
the New Order of the Latter Rain, these ideas are nothing
new.The righteous
continue to live by faith, while the proud boast in their
drunken state.
Saturate 2020 is another in a long line of
Latter Rain revivals which do not meet the criteria of a
Biblical revival at all (Acts 3:19). The Toronto
“Blessing” and Brownsville “Revival” both came into towns
all over the world with the promise that people were getting
saved and nothing weird was going on at their
meetings. This was always a lie as the true
Gospel was not preached but instead people were invited
forward to have hands laid on them in order to transfer an
impartation. Meanwhile false doctrines were laid
down in order to get people involved in churches like Bethel
Church in Redding, CA. We are warned in Scripture
about this. Galatians
2:4 But it was because of the false
brethren secretly brought in, who had sneaked in
to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ
Jesus, in order to bring us into bondage.
2 Peter
2:1 But false prophets also arose among the
people, just as there will also be false teachers among
you, who will secretly introduce destructive
heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing
swift destruction upon themselves.
The fact that some formerly Biblical churches have joined
this circus is a testament to their lack of teaching
discernment. Some of these denominations were
warned repeatedly about the Latter Rain, Word of Faith and
the New Apostolic Reformation yet they apparently wanted to
remain “willfully ignorant”. The people
advertised as being involved with this latest “revival” are
almost all associated with Bethel in some way and promoters
of what they teach. This is not a true Biblical
revival but rather a revival of the occult and New Age among
Christians. This meeting is actually hurting the
cause of Christ and will not have any real beneficial effect
on the culture of California, which has turned decidedly
evil for decades. These Dominionists
will not be saving the planet, but are rather setting people
up for the coming antichrist. Nor will they rid
the world of coronavirus, but rather likely add to it.
Should biblical Christian churches be
Christ-centered (Christocentric)? Should the doctrines
of the Father (Patriology) and the Holy Spirit (Pnematology)
also be equally emphasized? Can a church be
Patriocentric or Pnemacentric and be biblical?
The answer to these questions are quite simple from
a biblical perspective. There have been charges leveled
at some movements such as the Pietist Movement in Germany and
other movements that they place too much emphasis on Christ to
the exclusion of the Father and the Holy Spirit. This
may be true to a certain degree. The doctrines of the
Father, Son and Holy Spirit must be taught with equal emphasis
so that Christians will know what they believe.
But should a church be Patriocentric or
Pnemacentric? No. For instance, there are far too
many churches today, having been influenced by
hyper-Pentecostalism and the Latter Rain, that are
Pnemacentric. They spend most of their time focusing on
the Holy Spirit to the exclusion of preaching the Gospel
while, in fact, they don't even have a biblical doctrine of
the Holy Spirit. I believe that because classic
Evangelicals, to a certain degree, dropped the ball in
defining the Person and role of the Holy Spirit it gave an
opening to Third Wavers to step in with their erroneous ideas
of Pnematology.

The
Letter to Laodicea Is
a Warning to the TRUE Church Today by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Rev. 3:14-22
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;
These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true
witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy
works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou
wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and
neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art
wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I
counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that
thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest
be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not
appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou
mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be
zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the
door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the
door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he
with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with
me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down
with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him
hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.
Much has been made of this passage, using it to point out
what is happening today in the apostate churches around
the world. It is true that they believe they are
rich in spiritual things when they are very poor. It
can be applied in one sense to theWord
of Faithmovement.
It is true that the "River" movement of Latter Rain
teachings do think they are hot when actually they are
cold.
But this letter to the end times church
of Laodicea is actually talking to biblical Christians who
are born again. The apostate movements of theLatter

Churchand many others have already
had their lampstands removed (Rev. 2:5) because of their
apostasy and have already been spit out of the Lord's mouth
(Rev. 3:16). We can know this because of what the
Bible says about those who teach false doctrines (1 Tim.
6:3-5, 2 Tim. 4:3) and make false prophecies (1 John 4:1).
These false churches, false movements and false brethren
(Gal. 2:4) are already under the judgment of the warnings of
theseven
letters, as all but two of the original first century
churches are today (only the two who Jesus did not warn
still survive today). Therefore theletters
to the churchesapply to those
churches who have not had their lampstands removed and been
spit out of the mouth of God because of heresy and false
prophesy. So the warning to the true biblical churches
today remains. Why is this warning significant to us?
It
is significant because, by in large, it isthe
true Church today that has allowed the movements mentioned
above to infiltrate and take over the agenda for what is
called "Christianity" today.
In
Titus 1:6-11 Paul tells Titus to appoint "overseers" in
the churches. The word "overseer" isepiskoposin
Greek
and means bishop, curator, superintendent, guardian,
watchman. Overseers are to be shepherds to the sheep,
watchmen, guardians.

Cares for You by Sandy Simpson
The
story of the feeding of the 5000 is found in all the gospels
of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John. When something is repeated
in the Bible it means that it is important and is something we
must try to understand. There is often a deeper meaning in
sentences or stories that are repeated.
In
this same story repeated in Mark 6:34 it says:
"When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on
them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he
began teaching them many things."
One of the main things that Jesus is... is compassionate. He
cares for His people. He was compassionate then and He is
still compassionate today. Jesus came and saw the needs of the
people. So He did two things. He met their physical need of
hunger for bread, and He also met their spiritual hunger for
the bread of life. As Jesus told us in John ... He is the
bread of life. The Bible, the Word of God, being the word of
the Father and the Son, is also the bread of life. Jesus
is the living example of the Word as it also says in John "The
Word was made flesh and lived among us".

Chapels and his associations.

What Does The Bible Teach About "Synergy"?
by Sandy Simpson
Synergy is also a concept being adapted and taught today
as a major tenet of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation
(NAR) movement. Dutch Sheets was one of the first to
introduce this concept to that movement back in the National
School of the Prophets - Mobilizing the Prophetic Office
Conference at Ted Haggard's New Life Church in Colorado
Springs, CO on May 12, 2002.
HUMOR: Time for a rewrite of the old
hymns. In this day and age of Third Wave revival
movements and Word-Faith dominion, the old hymns just aren't
cutting it anymore. Not only are they old fashioned
musically, but the lyrics are, for the most part,
particularly depressing. They talk of sin, death,
repentance, the cross, the blood of Jesus and a whole host
of other disgusting subjects. There are also too many
lyrics in them, frankly, which takes away from the "worship"
atmosphere. Repetitiveness is what we need, not dead
doctrinal concepts. The old hymns are just too biblical.
Give us a beat to move our feet, not concepts to move our
hearts and minds!
Here is a list of some hymns that could be
"upgraded" to meet the criteria of the Third Wave,
Word-Faith, Latter Rain, Manifest Sons Of God, New Apostolic
Reformation. This list is by no means complete.
If you don't recognize the hymns mentioned perhaps it would
be worth your time to go back and read them, then compare
what they say to the new doctrines.

Saved by Sandy Simpson
“To be almost saved is to be totally lost.”
– Adrian Rogers
There are many so-called
“Christians” today who are clearly “almost saved” by their
testimonies and/or actions.But to be
“almost saved” is to be completely lost.A
person who is drowning and almost saved drowns.A
woman who is almost pregnant is not pregnant.King Agrippa
said, “You are almost persuading me to be a Christian (Acts
26:28)” but being almost persuaded is not enough to be
saved.
The word “almost” means “very nearly”, “not
quite.” In light of this we may conclude that to come close
to the target, or “almost” hit it, means to completely miss
the mark. (Shalem Evangelical
Church Bush Hall Yard Gap, St. Michael)
"Silence
the noise of your songs" by Sandy Simpson, 5/26/19
Amos 5:21-27 “I hate, I reject your festivals,
nor do I delight in your solemn assemblies. “Even though
you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I
will not accept them; and I will not even look at the peace
offerings of your fatlings. “Take away from Me the noise of
your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.
“But let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like
an ever-flowing stream. Did you present Me with sacrifices and
grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of
Israel? You also carried along Sikkuth your king and Kiyyun,
your images, the star of your gods which you made for
yourselves. Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond
Damascus,” says the Lord, whose name is the God of hosts. When
I first reread this passage in Amos, a few things struck
me. First of all the Lord is bringing judgment on Israel
for carrying on religious ceremony without true dedication to
the Lord. They sing songs and present their offerings
while harboring idols. I was reminded of how the Lord
must view the heretical apostate mega church celebrations of
today. There is a lot of pomp and circumstance, yet
little or no obedience to the Word of God. The Lord does
not look favorably upon worship of that type, no matter the
hype, no matter the noise, no matter the show. He
actually “hates” it.

How To Find A Good Church by Sandy Simpson, 2003
Here’s how to find a good church. What
you need to find is a church that not only has orthodox
doctrinal statements but teaches, both explicitly and
implicitly, in line with the core doctrines of the
Faith. These are Bible-believing Christ-centered
churches that are balanced in their theology. Be sure to
test all churches before you become involved. It is
acceptable to get involved with a house church or Bible study
as long as there is someone who has the gift of teaching there
to lead the study of God’s Word.
Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking our own assembling
together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one
another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.
The Christian life is not one to be lived
alone. Trust me; I have sympathy for those who have been
spiritually injured by false churches, false prophets, false
teachers and false apostles. It is often a long road
back from the diaprax of heresy. But to undo the
brainwashing you will need help, especially from those who are
already ahead of you on your journey back. The first
century church was known for the following:
Acts 2:42 They were continually devoting
themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the
breaking of bread and to prayer.
This is a good gauge to tell if you are
involved in an effective assembly of believers, no matter how
small. Remember that the first century churches were in
homes. In my experience smaller churches are much better
at doing the above and more. Avoid mega churches.
This book was written by my mother and is about
my family's experience as missionaries in Micronesia.
Juanita went to be with the Lord in August of 2018. This
book has been a blessing to many people around the world and I
want to share it with you. - Sandy Simpson
This
is the story of a young woman who goes to the ends of
the Earth with her pastor husband and two small
children. While describing the hardships of living in a
remote village on a remote Pacific Island in the 60's,
it also gives us a vision of the joy the family
experienced as well. The heart of the book is the story
of how the author survives the death of her husband and
goes on to serve God and the Micronesian people in her
own right.This
book reveals a woman of great faith and courage. In
addition, the book is well written and a pleasure to read.Having

A Short History of
Dominionism by Sandy Simpson
In order to understand where the modern fusion
called “Dominioism” comes
from, I want to first give you definitions of Kingdom
Now, Dominionism
and Reconstructionism.
Dominionism is sparsely defined as follows:
“Dominion Theology (also known as Dominionism)
is a group of Christian political ideologies that seek
to institute a nation governed by Christians based on
their personal understandings of biblical law. Extents
of rule and ways of achieving governing authority are
varied. For example, Dominion Theology can include theonomy, but does not
necessarily involve advocating Mosaic law as the basis
of government. The label is applied primarily toward
groups of Protestants in the United States.” [1]
It is more closely defined this way:
“Dominionism, or
Christian Dominionism
is a term coined by social scientists and popularized by
journalists to refer to a subset of American
Christianity that is conservative, politically active,
and believes that Christians should, and eventually
will, take control of the government. The term is
sometimes used as a “catch-all” by bloggers to describe
any politically active Christian, but not every
conservative, politically minded Christian is a Dominionist. Christian Dominionists believe that God
desires Christians to rise to power through civil
systems so that His Word might then govern the nation.
The belief that “America is a Christian nation” is
sometimes called “soft dominionism”;
the
idea that God wants only Christians to hold government
office and run the country according to biblical law is
called “hard dominionism.” [2]
“Hard Dominioism”
as it is called in the above definition, is what C. Peter
Wagner (deceased) of the New Apostolic Reformation (a term
he coined) have been advocating, following the teachings
of the New Order of the Latter Rain and Reformed Theology
“Reconstructionism”.

Maturity Training by Sandy Simpson
Heb. 5:14 But solid food is
for the MATURE, who by constant use have trained
themselves to distinguish good from evil.
At the core of
maturity in Christ is the issue of training to be able
to distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong.
But in today’s churches this issue has not only been
downplayed, but actually swept aside.
I run a website and
get hundreds of emails every week. Since the website
deals with apologetics against false teachers and false
prophets, about half the email I receive is blasting me
for even bringing up the issue. These emails are from
“Christians” who claim I am not “anointed”, don’t
understand the work of the Holy Spirit, etc. I am forced
to remind them of Hebrews 5 and Ephesians 4 and the
biblical definition of maturity in Christ. Maturity is
not defined as following dynamic speakers, running after
people who claim the ability to perform signs and
wonders, those with wealth, charismatic teachers with
large numbers of followers, those with name recognition,
and prophets who make wild prophecies. It is defined
simply as training ourselves to know the difference
between good and evil.
Where do Christians
get solid food? From voices in their heads, intuition,
imaginations, flights of fancy, signs, wonders? No.
Solid food is consumed by feeding on the meat of the
written Word of God.

Bill Johnson Quotes by Sandy Simpson
This article is about the use of invective
while attempting to do apologetics or teaching
discernment. Invective is defined as a noun: insulting,
abusive, or highly critical language ie. "he let out a stream
of invective". I admit to using invective at times in
the past. My goal is to stop that practice and focus on
the facts, not attack an individual’s ability to
comprehend.
In the case of Christians, the first thing to
consider when doing apologetics is our mandate to reconcile
people to Christ, no matter who they are.
2 Cor. 5:18-21 Now all these things are from
God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us
the ministry of reconciliation, namely, that God was in
Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their
trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word
of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ,
as though God were making an appeal through us; we beg you
on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. He made Him who
knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that we might become
the righteousness of God in Him.

the True God
by Sandy Simpson
I have some questions for those of the World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP) adherents
such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss (deceased),
Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha KeAkua, YWAM as well as many in the
Emergent Church (EC) ... the questions arise from their
claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations are all the
True God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
You can read more on this subject in our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site.
My main
question for them is this: When did ANY of the Patriarchs
and Prophets in the Old Testament and the Apostles or Jesus
Christ in the New Testament EVER claim that the "supreme
beings" of the nations were Elohim/YHWH,
the one True God? Let's look at some examples in the
form of questions and you can check out the source links as
well.

Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and return,
so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times
of refreshing may come from the presence of the
Lord;
There has been so much hype of "revival" in
our modern day that it is easy to forget the true biblical
criteria and definition of revival. Revival cannot be
brought about by signs and wonders or "laying" on of hands
to transfer apostolic or prophetic "anointings". In fact
there is no such thing in the Bible.The Biblical criterion
for revival has, as a precondition, repentance. The word
"refreshing" is also defined as "revive".

Peter Popoff Back to his old tricks! by Sandy Simpson
I received a letter from Peter Popoff. This
infamous televangelist, in the past, was found to be
guilty of wearing an earpiece so that his accomplices in
his sound booth could feed him personal information on
people in his audience while he was claiming to get
personal messages directly from God. This letter
proves that, not only is he back as a regular on TV, he is
also back to his old tricks.

Churches How the occult has been fully
integrated into many Christian lives and fellowships by Sandy Simpson
The Bible is quite clear about occult
practices.Neither Israel nor the
Church is to have anything to do with the way the world
tries to gain secret knowledge.The
Gnostics were and are known for promoting new revelation
that is either loosely tied to Scripture taken out ofcontext or not at
all.The Israelites seeking information
from the dead or in omens were judged harshly by the Lord
who had warned them numerous times to stay away from that
stuff.
Yet due to the influences of
heretical teachers in the New Apostolic Reformation, Word of
Faith, Emergent Church, and the
New Age many have been successful in getting lots of
churches and denominations into occult practices that have
been thinly disguised as “Christian�?.Many
of those who follow these people, I’m sure, have
no idea how far they have strayed into the occult.
First I want to give the
dictionary definitions and then Biblical warnings against
these practices.Then I will give
examples in the churches taken mainly from the ElijahList
e-newsletter.
List of Practices Detestable To God
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 “When you
enter the land which the Lord your God gives you, you
shall not learn to imitate the detestable things of those
nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who
makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, one
who uses divination, one who practices witchcraft, or
one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who
casts a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist,
or one who calls up the dead. For whoever does these
things is detestable to the Lord; and
because of these detestable things
the Lord your God will drive them out before you.
Isaiah
8:19When they say to you, “Consult the
mediums and the spiritists
who whisper and mutter,�? should not a peopleconsult their
God?Should theyconsultthe dead
on behalf of the living?
Using
the above list from Deuteronomy and Isaiah, let’s take a
look at each individual practice.
New
Important Book! Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The
Churches by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp & Sandy
Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work are a
play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled “"Dominion!
How Kingdom Action Can Change The World". In contrast
to this specious claim we have titled this book
“Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can Change The
Churches�?. We think that is far more in keeping with
what we will present in this series of articles and essays
on the subject of Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been
changed by accepting the false teachings that constitute
Dominionism. This started decades ago under Reformed
Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain theology, but even before
that in the Roman Catholic Church (RCC). The attempt
of Constantine to protect Christians from being persecuted,
since he claimed he had become one of them, turned out to
begin a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It wasn’t
long before corrupt church officials began to try to seize
power all over Europe and beyond as the “Holy Roman
Empire�?. The Reformation itself was a reaction to the
lengths to which the RCC had gone to take control over the
Scriptures, the nations, the kingdoms, and the people for
financial gain. They sold indulgences, promising those
who came up with enough money a much shorter time in
Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used today on
what has been loosely called “Christian television�? by the
sale of trinkets and promises of healing, financial gain and
even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in
Dominionism. If it were true that the Church needs to
take over the planet, then we would be seeing the
unstoppable plans of God’s physical Kingdom unfolding.
But we do not. All we see are failed prophecies, empty
edicts and declarations coming from false apostles and false
prophets. They love to fool Christians with talk of
the “kingdom�? when it is clear they are talking about a
different “kingdom�?; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom
come. Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy Kingdom come, Thy
will be done on earth as it is in heaven�?. The
implication is that we are to be about building His
spiritual Kingdom while praying for and expecting His
physical Kingdom to come. The only way we can do that
is to continue in the Great Commission till He comes, not
attempt to rule where God has not given the Church the
authority to rule. Jesus will do that when He returns.
If we go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go,
we will not only miss out on the blessings of His Kingdom to
come, but may well be deserving of judgment.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit by Sandy Simpson
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world,
and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The
weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows
them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,
and the harvesters are angels. Matthew 7:17 Likewise every good tree
bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.
Original sin is the bad seed in everyone.
We all start with a bad seed.
Jer. 17:9 The heart is deceitful
above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand
it? Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned and
fall short of the glory of God, Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered
the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this
way death came to all men, because all sinned
We need to have the bad seed destroyed and
replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to Christ
Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its
passions and desires. Rom. 6:6 For we know that our old
self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be
done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to
sin 1 Pet. 1:23 For you have been born again,
not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through
the living and enduring word of God.
The good seed is the Word, the Gospel.
Luke 8:11 "This is the meaning of the
parable: The seed is the word of God. 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of God will
continue to sin, because God's seed remains in him; he
cannot go on sinning, because he has been born of God.
Bad seeds are from the enemy and are full of
false doctrine and a false gospel.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the world,
and the good seed stands for the sons of the kingdom. The
weeds are the sons of the evil one, and the enemy who sows
them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age,
and the harvesters are angels.
Will the Real Blasphemers Please Stand
Up? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This subject is one so serious that I do it
with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless, because I get so
many e-mails accusing me and other Bereans of blasphemy, among
other serious charges, I felt it was necessary to clear up
some issues on this topic. Because of my stand for the truth
of God's Word juxtaposed against all the false teaching that
is going on today, I think it is important to do a quick study
on what blasphemy is actually all about from a biblical
standpoint. There are many references to blasphemy in
the Bible and from them we can find out how and why that term
was used.
You will see that the word "blasphemy" in the
Scriptures is the very definition of what the false teachers
and false prophets are doing today!
This is a name I came up with for people
attending and teaching at Oral Roberts University in the
70s. Even back then I had come to realize that their way
of representing Christianity was not in line with the
Scriptures. At that time I didn’t know that Oral Roberts
was carrying on the Word of Faith traditions of New Thought
practitioners such as Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland, Essex
Kenyan, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler, and many other
false teachers of the time. Though I didn’t know
anything about Word of Faith or New Thought then I knew that
the way they were representing Christianity was just not right
somehow. Their desire to portray Christians as rich,
beautiful, healthy, perfect, and virtually sinless (holiness)
went directly against the example of Jesus, the Apostles and
the early church.

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The book by C.S. Lewis called "Screwtape
Letters" was a clever idea in exposing a number of tactics of
the enemy. Those principles are still at work today in
many churches. Following is a list of some of the things
the enemy wants to see in churches and Christians in order to
bring them down.
Bradford Pear Christianity by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I was driving along and noticing that spring
has sprung here in North Carolina. One of the first trees to
bloom is the Bradford Pear. I began to notice how that tree
has proliferated almost everywhere and then my wife looked up
the information on this tree on the web. As she began to read
the facts about this tree and its proliferation I began to see
an allegorical parallel to what is going on in much of
Christendom. But before I get into what the Bradford Pear can
show us about the churches, I need to present the facts about
the tree.
The Lord's Prayer, Our Prayer by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Matt.
6:9-13 This, then, is how you should pray: "Our
Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom
come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give
us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also
have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
This model prayer
that Jesus taught the disciples to pray contains many
important precepts. It should probably be called "The
Disciple's Prayer". It starts with a very important
concept in the first verse.
The Fallacious Arguments of
Neo-Universalists by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The new Universalists are not as vocal about
their Universalism ideas but are far more deadly to the
Church as they are not rejected like classic Universalists
were decades ago. The new Universalists would include
Emerging Church leaders like Brian McLaren, Leonard Sweet,
Spencer Burke, Alan Jones and others like Wycliffe, Society
of Biblical Literature, World Christian Gathering of
Indigenous Peoples, Richard Twiss, Daniel Kikawa, Terry
LeBlanc, Rick Warren, Henry Nowen, YWAM, Tony Campolo,
Robert Schuller, George Otis Jr., and even Billy Graham.
The future of apologetics and
discernment ministries by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I admit that I am very
skeptical about the future of discernment and apologetics
ministries. I don't see the next generation coming up to
replace those who have stood for the truth for so long.
Fortunately many apologists have gone to be with the Lord but
who will replace them? I don't see replacements coming up who
will take the place of those who have been fighting the fight
the years. I run a web site where I collect articles and
materials from all over the world and present them in a sort
of Reader's Digest format so that people can come to one place
to get the latest information on heresies in the churches as
well as research past ones. What I've seen in the last couple
of years is that the production of regular materials is
declining to the point where it's becoming difficult to find
one article for my site to post every day. Of course I write
my own articles but don't have enough time to write an article
on a daily basis. I am very concerned because of the tsunami
of false ideas from the enemy in the churches. At the same
time, unfortunately, I see a lot of younger people who don't
even recognize anymore that something is wrong.

Church History & The Core Doctrines by Sandy Simpson
This 4-DVD set is a combination of a condensed
study on Church History and the Discernment Toolkit series which
deals with the core doctrines of the Church and how to use them
to discern error. The Church History DVD takes a different
approach to Church History in that it does not celebrate the
Catholic Church but rather exposes it as false
Christianity. It covers World religions, false
Christianity and finally a study of the true remnant Church
through history following the story of the many martyrs who
stood up for true Biblical faith.
The "Weight of Glory" by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more
exceeding and eternal weight of glory; (KJV)
This is both an incredible source of hope
for Christians who are downtrodden, and a source of
escalating heresy in many churches.It is critical that we
understand what Paul was talking about when he wrote the
phrase “weight of glory�?.Jacob Prasch has repeated this
phrase in his teachings over the years … “A text, out of
context, in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text."A
huge problem today is that individuals and movements tend to
yank verses out of their context and build a cult of heresy
around them.This is called eisegesis or plugging your own
ideas into the Scriptures instead of exegesis, gaining
understanding and interpretation of the Bible by studying it
in context and in the scope of the whole written Word.

This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In the introduction to Mike Oppenheimer's
and my book "Idolatry In Thier Hearts" I exposed the fact
that Don Richardson pulled the phrase "Eternity In Thier
Hearts" to use as his book title from it's context in Ecc.
3:11. He did this to support his thesis, which
actually contradicts the second part of that verse, where it
states that man cannot fathom what God has done. Richardson,
rather, sets forth what has become the foundation for the
false teachings of the WCGIP, YWAM, a number of Bible
translation societies and the Emerging Church ... the
propostion that men from Gentile cultures have always been
seeking God and that Gentile cultures were already
worshipping the true God before missionaries came with the
Gospel.
But as I further investigated this verse I
found that Richardson even ignored the true meaning of the
FIRST half of the verse in favor of a few translations that
use the phrase "eternity in their hearts".

Christians who “turn away�? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all this
her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto me with her
whole heart, but feignedly, saith the LORD. And the LORD said
unto me, “The backsliding Israel hath justified herself more
than treacherous Judah.�? (KJV) Israel had turned away from
the Lord and had gone after the gods of Canaan, namely
Baal and Asherah. Because Israel had
prostituted herself with false gods in worshipping the
polytheistic gods that started at Babel, God had declared He
was divorcing Israel and would send them into exile until they
again returned to the true God. But Judah prided itself in
doing what God had commended as they had Jerusalem and the
Temple. They disdained Israel for setting up altars to
Baal and Asherah poles on high hills. Yet God was not
fooled by Judah’s pretence. In the KJV it says they were
not worshipping God with their whole heart but
“feignedly�?.
Prophets for profit by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do not peddle
the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we
speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God.
There are many false teachers on TV these days
who peddle the word of God for profit. They make
promises of healing that do not come true by claiming if they
are given a financial gift the person will receive healing and
riches. When what they promised does not happen the
person is blamed that they did not have enough faith. This
often destroys the faith of people who fall into the traps of
these snake oil salesmen. I have no problem with people
charging for their materials if they cost to be produced, even
though it is hoped that when a person cannot afford to pay for
books and DVDs they will receive them free of charge.
But the charges levied on people for conferences and speaking
engagements is often excessive. A minister of God can
ask for support and deserves it if they are being diligent in
their study and proclamation of the Word. But
experiences and feelings often come with a price today and
that is not right.
"Mistake" or "Sin"? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Today we often hear the word "mistake"
coming from pulpits, and especially in defense of false
teaching and false prophesy. "Cut him some
slack! He just made some mistakes". "We all make
mistakes, so don't judge lest you be judged." We even
hear the word "mistakes" being substituted for the word
"sin" in many presentations of what I have termed "Gospel
Lite" today. So is it proper to substitute the word
"mistake" for the word "sin"? We'll look at the
problem of one word "mistakenly" being used for the
other.
Holy Ghost IGNORED! by Sandy Simpson
This 3-DVD set is a message based on this
movie review.
"Holy Ghost Reborn" is the second film in
the "Holy Ghost" series released by Bethel Church in
Redding, CA. Tim Wirth and I reviewed the first "Holy
Ghost" film and that review is freely available on YouTube
here:
I am sorry to say this but Bethel is clearly
a cult of Christianity holding to most of the teachings of
the Latter Rain and Word of Faith. They have
demonstrated repeatedly a manipulative atmosphere targeting
young people in particular while preaching rank
heresy. This new film is a continuation of those false
teachings and practices. I pray for the young people
in that church that they will come to know Jesus Christ as
their Savior and thus come to know the true Holy
Spirit.
This 3-DVD set is only $30. plus s/h. for
US.

"Holy Ghost Reborn". This addendum features a number of false
teachings of Bethel Church in Redding, CA that I was not able
to include in the 3-Part series. Get
the whole thing! It is very important to see what has
become the "new" Christianity.
Servant Authority by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The world system has always been a "top down"
structure, starting at the apex of the pyramid and going down
to the bottom. In kingdoms we have the king at the top, then
the princes, common people, slaves. In a democracy we have the
President at the top, the VP, the Sec. of State on down to the
citizens. In business we have the CEO at the top, upper
management, lower management, office workers and the
janitors. Unfortunately, sometime in the third century,
the church started to have a top down structure. This is also
when the church began to be in error. The church of Rome began
to have a "top down" structure that started with the pope,
then cardinals, then bishops, then priests, then the people.
Well, what about that? Eph 4:11 It was he who gave
some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be
evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, This
all sounds like a "top down" structure. But the problem is
that people have not seen an important fact about these gifts
of the Spirit -- man looks at function and title, God looks at
aim and goal! Read on. Eph. 4:12 to prepare God's
people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be
built up. These are not gifts given for title or to give
people job descriptions. They are given because there are
people out there who need our help! The church needed the
Apostles. They were the ones who were the foundation of the
church. They were the ones who saw Jesus in the flesh and were
taught by Him personally. They wrote the New Testament
Scriptures. Though the gifts of apostle and prophet are
different today than in biblical times, the gift of
evangelism, pastoring, teaching and others are still the same.
A person who is an evangelist does not just have a title so he
can rule over people. The reason that he has the gift to be an
evangelist is so that he can tell others the good news. Why do
we have pastors? Are they supposed to rule the church and get
everyone to support them and bow to their demands? No. They
are to serve the church by helping people to come to a fuller
knowledge of Jesus Christ, to equip the saints to become more
like Jesus every day.
The true structure of Christianity is
symbolized as an inverted pyramid!
�Overtake you like a thief� by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you, brethren, are
not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a
thief; How serious will it be for a person to be overtaken
in �that day� like a thief overtakes a household when he
slips in and steals? Will it just be a surprise for
those who claim to be Christians who will get a slap on the
wrist by the Lord but still proceed to heaven? Will
they simply lose rewards but still gain the ultimate
reward? What is this darkness that the brethren are
not in? 1 Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they are
saying, �Peace and safety!� then destruction will come
upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with
child, and they will not escape. But you, brethren,
are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a
thief; for you are all sons of light and sons of day.
We are not of night or of darkness;
Generic and Specific by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In my article �Blasphemizing
the
Bible� I give a number of examples of how a lot of
modern Bible translation societies are putting the names of
�supreme beings� in the Bible in the place of God or YHWH. In
this article I'm going to examine two of the excuses they make
for making those substitutions in the Bible in many hundreds
of different languages today.
(1) They claim that God has many different
names and therefore they think they are justified in putting
the names of various gods of various cultures in Bibles, as
long as they are considered �supreme beings�.
(2) The second excuse they give is that the
names of the �gods� they are placing in the Bible are generic
terms for God, like the words �God�, �Theos�, �Dios� and
�Elohim�. By generic I mean a word that can be used for any
deity whether of the one true God or other false gods who
claim to be God.
I will go through both of these excuses and
show that they are both unbiblical, therefore the Bibles they
have translated with names of other gods in them, or names
they claim are generic, prove that they have �blasphemized�
those Bibles.
The Ugly Side of
Diaprax by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There has been a concerted effort by the false
teachers from many movements inside the church such as Word of
Faith, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain, World
Gathering on Indigenous People and Emerging Church among
others to diaprax people into thinking that the church has
been ineffective until they came along with their new and
improved ideas on how to take over the world. This is
always a feature of the Hegelian Dialectical process put into
action by praxis, thus diaprax. In order to form a new
paradigm or worldview the leadership of these movements must
vilify orthodox Biblical Christianity.
Deluded! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There are so many "Christian" leaders out there
that teach delusional teachings. These teaching are
dangerous and can lead a person to shipwreck their faith.
Healer? Heal Thyself! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
A good subtitle for this article might be
"Practice What You Preach!" There is no doubt that God
can and does heal people today. But the false doctrines
of the Word-Faith Movement about "declaring" healing,
"name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have been proven to be lies by
the very people who sell this deceit. If you don't know
about where these famous "faith healers" go when they need
healing, you may be surprised. Why couldn't they heal
themselves when they purported to be able to heal others by
virtue of their superior faith? What happened to the
extraordinary faith they claimed to have, enough faith to heal
and be healed? Since they are the ones who taught that
all you have to do is claim the healing that is in the
Atonement (Is. 53:5) why did they not do so? Don't their
deaths prove that what they were preaching was a lie and
pragmatic witchcraft rather than biblical relality?
God�s Attitude toward the �Supreme
Beings� of the Nations by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
It is quite clear from Scripture that YHWH does
NOT consider the �supreme beings� of the nations to be
Himself, the One True God. This is in opposition to the
teachings of Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss and
many others promoting the World Christian Gathering of
Indigenous People movement, Emergent Church and Liberal
theologies. I have proven this time and time again in my
articles on the subject but I am going to consolidate the
information from the Bible in this article by studying the
false gods named in the Bible. I am sure I will not be
able to cover every instance of supreme beings mentioned in
the Bible but I (1) want to deal with some of the major ones
(2) show you where they are found in the Word, and (3) prove
that they were the �supreme beings� of those nations named by
the patriarchs, prophets and Apostles and that they were not
monotheistic gods but polytheistic in the tradition of Babel
where the false religion of polytheism first took root through
the worship of Nimrod and Semiramis.
You need to "nip it in the bud"! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am writing this article to address a
subject that I have often observed. It is the fact
that if you do not get the leaven out of your church the
leaven will become the leadership.The Bible teaches quite
clearly that if you let the leaven in you will leaven the
whole lump.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven leavens
the whole lump of dough.
We see this often in the case of many
�Christian� movements that have allowed a small error to
exist in their churches and have not dealt with those
issues. It then ends up metastasizing into worse and
worse problems as time goes by.
The New Panentheistic "God" Of
Christendom by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Now, I bet you read the title of this article
and thought I had misspelled the word "pantheism". Just
so that those of you who write to me advising me of words I
have misspelled in articles (and I do often) I want to tell
you that I am using the term "panentheism" as coined by Karl
C. F. Krause. You can read more about this word and
concept in an excellent book called "A
Time Of Departing" by Ray Yungen.
There is a new "God" being promoted in the
Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and Word of Faith
movements whose teachers are regularly seen on TBN, Daystar,
SkyAngel, CBN and other "Christian" TV networks. Some of
those teachers even have, what would be considered, a fairly
typical statement of faith or doctrinal statement they
endorse. But by what they teach they end up promoting a false
unbiblical view of God, especially through their actions and
experiences. The whole phenomenon of "slain in the
spirit" and all the antics that go with it are brainwashing an
entire generation of Christians to put their faith in another
Jesus, another Spirit, another Gospel. This new "Jesus"
and "Holy Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or panentheistic in
nature. Though some of these teachers would claim to be
believing in the God who is One God in Three Persons, by what
they teach they deny the very revealed character of God from
Scripture.
What Should I Say? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
booklet.
How do you answer an invitation to attend a
meeting where you know nothing about the speaker or what will
be done there? What happens if they want to announce the
meeting at your church and invite everyone? What do you say to
a person who tells you that you don�t have the Holy Spirit
even though you are a Christian? What should you do if you
think something is wrong, or your conscience is bothering you
about something that was said or done? The answer?
Go to the Scriptures!
The Bible has all the answers to your
questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal with a
few of the typical statements you will hear from people who
have become involved in the Third Wave revival movement. By
�Third Wave� I am referring to teachers, �prophets� and any
meeting associated with the Toronto �Blessing�, Brownsville
Assemblies of God, Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn, Kenneth
Copeland, Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyers, Bethel
Church, Lakeland and many others who appear on the Trinity
Broadcasting Network and the 700 Club on TV.
Hopefully the statements and answers in this
booklet will set you off on an investigation of your own in
the Word. If you need help, and you have access to the
Internet, you can visit my web site called �Deception In The
Church� that deals with these issues and has the articles
mentioned in this booklet.
Luring People To Destruction By The Unscrupulous Use Of The
"Gospel" Message by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Phil. 1:14-18
Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have
been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and
fearlessly. It is true that some preach Christ out of
envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter
do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of
the gospel. The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition,
not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me
while I am in chains. But what does it matter? The important
thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or
true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes,
and I will continue to rejoice,
If you see what I see in this passage, this
argument cannot be used for people like Benny Hinn, Kenneth
Copeland and the hundreds, even thousands of Third Wave
ministers today who are not merely envious and self ambitious,
but are also teaching outright false doctrine. Paul was not
talking about heretics in this statement, but "brothers in the
Lord" who preach the Gospel with wrong motives. Third Wave
teachers not only have wrong motives, they also have the wrong
message. This argument cannot be used for people like
Hinn, even if they manage to preach enough of the "Gospel" for
people to come to a saving knowledge of the Lord, because they
are also teaching and practicing heresy.
One of Satan�s Final Masquerades by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no
wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.
Satan often disguises himself with the
purpose of deceiving people. One way in which I believe
he is putting on a masquerade is by appearing as �Mary� to
millions of people worldwide.
Attack Of The Enemy On The Churches by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So much heresy is entering the churches these
days. As you would suspect, sometimes it is due to a
pastor attending a conference or reading a book and becoming
diapraxed with unbiblical ideas. He then starts to weave
those ideas into his messages and begins to invite speakers to
the church who expound on those ideas. Then when
confronted by someone in the church who has reservations about
the new stuff being taught, they are told to not talk about it
and just go along with the program. If that person does
not they are ostracized, slander behind their back, and often
told to leave (which is what they should do in any
case).
But my observation is that it is not only the
pastor who causes unbiblical changes to influence a
church. Often the pastor is blissfully unaware of
influences coming into his church. They often come in
through (1) the worship team (2) women�s groups (3) bookstore
(4) children�s programs (5) interdenominational prayer efforts
and (6) relief and mission organizations. If unchecked
this type of infiltration is much more subtle and can become
deeply rooted.
Marks Of False Religion by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you
captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to
the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles
of the world, rather than according to Christ.
In context Paul is especially addressing,
though perhaps not to the exclusion of other false religion,
what had become the false religion of the Pharisees and Jewish
leadership. There were many Jewish so-called
�Christians� making the rounds among the fledgling early
churches who were trying to get the Gentiles to come under the
Law from which Christ had purchased their freedom. John
Gill states this case well in his commentary.
Universalism in the World has Permeated the Church by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The current fad of interfaith solidarity and
unity is simply a thin guise of inclusivism, Universalism
and pluralism.
Universalism is defined by Dictionary.com
as: The doctrine that emphasizes the universal fatherhood of
God and the final salvation of all souls. (Source)
Universalism is a religion and theology that generally holds
all persons and creatures are related to God or the divine
and will be reconciled to God. (Source)
Pluralism is defined as: The doctrine that
reality is composed of many ultimate substances. � The
belief that no single explanatory system or view of reality
can account for all the phenomena of life. (American
Heritage Dictionary, (Source)
Inclusivism is: "Inclusivism posits that
even though the work of Christ is the only means of
salvation, it does not follow that explicit knowledge of
Christ is necessary in order for one to be saved. In
contrast to pluralism, inclusivism agrees with exclusivism
in affirming the particularity of salvation in Jesus Christ.
But unlike exclusivism, inclusivism holds that an implicit
faith response to general revelation can be salvific. God
expects from man a response proportional to the light given.
Saving faith is not characterized so much by its cognitive
content as it is by its reverent quality." (Ken Keathley,
None Dare Call It Treason: Is an Inclusivist a Paul
Revere or a Benedict Arnold? (Ken Keathley, Assistant
Professor of Theology and Philosophy New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary, (Source)
We deal with these old heresies brought
forward to modernity, these ideas that all men have have a
relationship with God that will cause them to be able to
avoid judgement in our book on the teachings of the World
Gathering on Indigenous People movement called �Idolatry
In Their Hearts�. The idea that all men who
worship a �god� are worshipping the true God, YHWH, has
bubbled up to the very top of our societies and religions,
and even Christendoom, and should sound a warning alarm to
true Biblical Christianity. Instead, as usual in our
day, most Christians are asleep at the wheel while
Universalists claim that you can pray to a �god� like Allah
and be praying to the true Trinue God, YHWH. I also dealt
with the fact that Allah is not YHWH, both in our book and
in the article �Is Allah The Same
As YHWH?�.
What We Need Is A Reverse Paradigm
Shift! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I'm going to warn you now. I am going to
let you in on some information tonight that is going to
radically change your world view. You are likely going
to experience the beginnings of a reverse paradigm shift and
after tonight there will be no way to go back the way you
came. You will be faced with choices that you may never
have known you had. You will be faced with a new way of
looking at things that is going to cause you to rethink
everything that is being taught in the Emerging Latter Rain
churches. It is going to be radical because the basis
for this message doesn't come from Jesus Christ visiting my
room last night bodily, but from His holy written Word.
So buckle down your seat belts, you're likely in for a bumpy
ride!
Matt. 7:15-23 "Watch out
for false prophets. They come to you in sheep�s clothing,
but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you
will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes,
or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good
fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot
bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every
tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown
into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
"Not everyone who says to me, �Lord, Lord,� will enter the
kingdom of heaven, but only he 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 perform many miracles?� Then I
will tell them plainly, �I never knew you. Away from me, you
evildoers!�
False Teachers Revisited by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I often receive requests to present updated
false teachings and false prophecies by the myriad of heretics
out there. We do try to keep up with all the
latest. But I have to remind people that those we have
exposed as false on our site have not repented of what they
have already done in the past, which is why they are still on
our site. So what they are doing now has no relevance as
to whether or not they are now to be considered a true
Biblical teacher. If and when they repent, that is
renounce their false teachings and false prophecies, make
restitution to those they have deceived, and begin to teach
sound Biblical doctrine we will give you that
information. As of now NONE of the people we have
exposed have repented of their Latter Rain, Word of Faith
teachings, heretical practices or their false
prophecies. But in the interest of helping you to
respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those articles
are old and you need newer materials" well, here is some newer
stuff you can add to the pile. For you and me this
really makes no difference, but for those who are living in
deception perhaps it might demolish one of their arguments
against the truth.
Testing The Spirits by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Sometimes I really wonder why someone who
claims to be a Bible believing pastor, for instance, refuses
to listen to the truth. It frankly boggles my
mind. I don't know if it is as a result of the
postmodern paradigm or just that they have no love of the
truth left. I don't know how that can happen in a truly
regenerate person. You would think that the Holy Spirit
would confirm the truth to them, first in their conscience,
and finally through the written Word. But these days it
is a miracle if it gets that far. I don't know if their
conscience has been so seared that they don't hear the Spirit
or if they just don't want to know the truth because then they
would be responsible for it. I know that I cannot know
their motives or the reasons why they reject truth and refuse
to talk about false teaching, but I do know one thing: we are
called as true believers to test the spirits. We must do
this even if the result is not to our liking or befuddles us
as to the reasons.
1 John 4:1 Dear friends,
do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see
whether they are from God, because many false prophets have
gone out into the world.
Questions for Those Who Claim the
"Supreme Beings" Of the Nations Are the True God by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I have some questions for those of the World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP) adherents
such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss
(deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM
as well as many in the Emergent Church (EC) ... the questions
arise from their claim that the "supreme beings" of the
nations are all the True God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob. You can read more on this subject in our book
"Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site. My main question for them is this: When
did ANY of the Patriarchs and Prophets in the Old Testament
and the Apostles or Jesus Christ in the New Testament EVER
claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations were
Elohim/YHWH, the one True God? Let's look at some
examples in the form of questions and you can check out the
source links as well.
How To Discern, Test & Judge
Rightly by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
In running a web
site with thousands of articles, 1-2 million hits per month
from all over the world, and hundreds of e-mails per week, I
have come to realize, with time, that there is a terrible
problem in Christendom today. The problem stems from an
existential subjective view of the world that has filtered
into the church from secular society, but also from the
teachings of heretical wolves who have taught an entire
generation of churchgoers completely unbiblical methods of
discernment or to get rid of any discernment altogether.
We need a firm foundation to weather
the storm of false ideas by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and said unto
them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power
of God. (KJV) Matthew 7:24 "Therefore everyone who hears
these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a
wise man who built his house on the rock. How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His excellent word! � 1787 Joseph Funk & Robert Keene
A house built on the rock will stand. The
Rock is God and in particular, Jesus Christ. Therefore
His written Word is the teachings of the His Holy Spirit and a
Rock we can depend on. Anyone who wants to prove
anything theologically, historically, scientifically or
anything else needs to start with correct information.
If you start with a faulty foundation, as you build your
arguments, they begin to fall apart because they are not
supported in God"s truth. If you want to build on a firm
foundation, you need to start the process by a careful study
of God"s Word in context of the verse and according to the
whole counsel of God"s Word. The Bible is the best
commentary on the Bible.
Karma (by any other name) by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed; it also
refers to the principle of causality where intent and
actions of an individual influence the future of that
individual. Good intent and good deed contribute to
good karma and future happiness, while bad intent and bad
deed contribute to bad karma and future suffering.
Karma is closely associated with the idea of rebirth in some
schools of Asian religions. In these schools, karma in
the present affects one's future in the current life, as
well as the nature and quality of future lives - or, one's
samsara. With origins in ancient India, it is a key concept
in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism,
Ching Hai and others."(emphasis mine)
Mirram-Webster defines it this way:
the force created by a person's actions that
is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to determine what that
person's next life will be like: the force created by a
person's actions that some people believe causes good or bad
things to happen to that person
His Name, The Only Name by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will be king
over the whole earth. On that day there will be one LORD,
and his name the only name.
The reason I wrote this article
based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of how many
so-called Christians, who are influential in the churches, are
promoting the worship of God in the names of other gods.
Replacement Theology On Steroids by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So, as you can see, the root of this
teaching is that Israel no longer holds the distinction of
being the tree from which the Root of David (Jesus-Rev. 5:5,
22:16) came. They are no longer the "natural branches"
(Israel-Rom. 11:21) on to which Gentile Christianity (the
wild shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild branches-Rom. 11:24) are
grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24). According to Replacement
Theology, Christianity has now become its own branch apart
from Israel (the natural branch) that produced the Root and
all the promises of the Bible to Israel have been taken away
from them and given to the Gentile Church. This is why
you hear so many false teachers taking verses out of context
from the Old Testament and willy-nilly applying them to the
Gentile Church. This methodology has been going on for
decades in liberal churches and has been popularized by many
false teachers on TV. But the fact is that Replacement
Theology is utter false doctrine. It denies promises
made to Israel, some of which have already been fulfilled
and some which are yet to come to fruition. But when you add
the fact that the Inclusivist WCGIP proponents are now
saying that God planted hundreds of different trees,
cultures all over the world, that are not connected to the
natural branch, tree and Root, you have what can only be
termed Replacement Theology on steroids!
Those Who Do Not Lead Christians to
Maturity by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Scriptural definition of maturity is to
learn to discern truth from error so that the Christian will
no longer be double minded, blown about by every wind of
teaching and by the schemes of crafty people. But the
problem today is that so few Christian teachers are feeding
their flock's solid food. They are serving up milk and,
because of that, people are starving. Yet they often don't
even know they have been on a starvation diet. Amos 8:11
"The days are coming," declares the Sovereign Lord, "when I
will send a famine through the land - not a famine of
food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the
words of the Lord."
"... and all liars" by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Lying is a problem for all people (Ps.
116:11). We are all sinners (Rom. 3:23). Those of
us who are Christians are "sinners saved by grace" (Eph. 2:8)
indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our "new self" (Col. 3:10). But
we still live in our "old self" which we must "put off" (Eph.
4:20-25) by taking up our cross daily and following Christ
(Luke 9:23). The difference between unbelievers and
those who are truly born again is that believers no longer
"practice sin" (1 John 3:9, see my Bible study on 1
John!) They have the indwelling Holy Spirit (Rom. 8:11)
who convicts them when they lie (John 16:8). True believers
then repent (1 John 1:9) and go on to "practice righteousness"
(1 John 2:29) with the Lord's help. The unregenerate,
the false brothers, or those who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4,
Mark 4:17), practice lying. They practice a lifestyle of
lying because their consciences are seared (1 Tim. 4:2) and
the Holy Spirit, when convicting them, cannot break through
the hardness of their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb.
3:13).
Four Books That the Enemy Has Used To
Corrupt Christianity by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The four books that have changed the church by
giving an introduction to the false teachings of the New
Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR), the Emerging
Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism (EC), pragmatic Church
Growth (CG) methodologies of C. Peter Wagner, Robert Schuller
and Peter Drucker, and the teachings of the World Christian
Gathering on Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as follows:
Surprised by the Power of the Spirit by Jack
Deer, Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster, Purpose
Driven Church by Rick Warren & Etnerity In Their Hearts by
Don Richardson.
These four books were widely read by
Christians from virtually every denominational background
before their ramifications and the movements they would spawn
were known. They lay error alongside truth so were
considered not to be a threat to churches. Therefore
these books then became part of the consciousness of many
Christians and churches, thereby laying the basis for the
introduction of the modern day false teachings of the NAR, EC,
CG and WCGIP that have become part of the landscape of
Christendom today.
Night Marchers and UFOs on the Big
Island by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
With the resurgence of the old religion of
Hawaii and the continual invocation of Pel� and other
"deities" for years in the secular culture and even in
churches with regards to worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder
that those beings are beginning to manifest again? In
a story called "Night
Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube
video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim all
kinds of sightings that they think are the warriors,
ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming back.
Interestingly the
first
book the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends in its
"Suggested Reading" list is "Perpetuated
in
Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we reviewed in
our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike Oppenheimer.
Since Kikawa claims that 'Io is the True God and one that
the Hawaiians worshipped in secret, we have to wonder if
Kikawa also thinks 'Io is showing up in these night marches?
Since YWAM, Aloha Ke Akua and Hilo New Hope participated in
worshipping 'Io at the "edge of Hale-ma'uma'u Crater" it
sounds like they have all been inviting the old "gods" to
return to Hawaii.
"They Will Believe The Lie" by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am doing a Bible study right now on what I
would call "renewing our minds". It is based on this
verse:
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the pattern of
this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is
- his good, pleasing and perfect will.
The only way to renew our minds is to believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess our sins, and be saved, then
to study the written Word and allow the indwelling Holy Spirit
to teach us. Our minds are corrupted by virtue of the
sin nature and what we have learned in life because our
filters are off. I gave an illustration of straining coconut
to make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch screen
everything will pass through. Even if you use a quarter
inch screen you will get mostly coconut meat in your
milk. You have to use a fine screen in order to separate
the milk from the leftover. Our filters are off and the
first thing God begins to do is correct our worldview, because
if your worldview is off you will not understand God's
reality. We need to learn to see things from His
perspective. This is why I started this study by going
back to an original problem.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of the
lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He
will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and
wonders that serve the lie, and all the ways that
wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish
because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. For
this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they
will believe the lie and so that all will be condemned
who have not believed the truth but have delighted in
wickedness.
This has always been an interesting passage to
me for a few different reasons. What is "the lie" that
is talked about here in verse 9 and 11? What are the
ways that "wickedness deceives those who are perishing" and
how long has this been going on or does this only begin to
happen at the coming of the lawless one? In what way
does "the lie" cause those who do not believe the truth to
"delight in wickedness"?
Updated! The First Nations Movement Deceiving The Nations! 4-DVD Series Critical Missiological
Issue!
The "Indigenous People's" (IPM) or "First
Nations" movement is an unbiblical movement teaching heresies
and doctrines of demons. It is being spread worldwide by YWAM,
Don Richardson, John Dawson, Richard Twiss, Terry LeBlanc,
Daniel Kikawa and many other adherents. The IPM or World
Christian Gathering On Indigenous People is full of the false
teachings of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR),
Word-Faith, Dominionism, Latter Rain and many other false
theological systems. But it does have it's own
distinctives that are driven by the works of Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss, and Don Richardson in particular. They
are teaching Christians to "redeem" their cultures by
worshipping their former gods, pretending they are YHWH.

Sola Scriptura by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article: "Christians"
Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
There are a number of the leadership of the
Emerging Church (EC) who do not believe that the Bible is
the highest authority for the Christian faith. Most do
not believe that the Bible is inerrant in the original
manuscripts and many do not acknowledge that the Bible is
our highest revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine
over which true believers and false brethren must separate.
Those who try to poke holes in Sola Scriptura make excuses
like (1) we need to reinterpret the Bible through the lens
of postmodern culture and religion (2) the Bible never uses
the words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it is not a Biblical
concept (3) there is new revelation for the church through
the Holy Spirit apart from what is written and the precepts
of the Bible and (4) the Bible just doesn't address our
postmodern situation therefore we cannot rely on it for the
truth and answers for our problems today. I will prove
that all the above arguments, and more, from EC leaders and
others is exactly what they are teaching. I will give
you quotes from their teachings, videos and books. The
postmodern church and its "movements" are abandoning Sola
Scriptura in their rush to be like the Roman Catholic
Church, which takes its authority from a mix of Scripture
and tradition.
"As a result the Church, to whom the
transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted,
"does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths
from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition
must be accepted and honored with EQUAL sentiments of
devotion and reverence." (Roman Catholic Catechism, Given
October 11, 1992, the thirtieth anniversary of the opening
of the Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, in the fourteenth
year of my Pontificate. Page 31).

Updated DVD! The Question Of Dominion by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article: The Question Of Dominion.
I am writing this article as an apologetic
against the Third Wave, Latter Rain, Word of Faith and
Reformed Theology teachings that the Church is to rise up
and take over the systems of government, businesses and
every other aspect of life. "See, the problem is, is that
Satan has had too much of his way in our society because he
has a government! And the only way to overthrow a
government is with a government. It won't happen
otherwise. So therefore the government of the church
has to get into place in the extended church just like we do
have it very well in place, we haven't reached our goal yet
..." (Transcript of C. Peter Wagner, Arise Prophetic
Conference, Gateway Church, San Jose, CA, 10-10-2004) Wagner
has substituted the "government of the church" for the
coming government of Jesus Christ in the Millennial
Kingdom. Wagner is "Kingdom Now" while the Bible
teaches "Kingdom Come". What I wanted to do with this
article is put the issue of dominion to rest by studying the
definition the Bible gives to dominion and ruling
authority. When we look at the subject we can easily
ascertain what is going on today and what God requires of
the Church.

Shepherd Or Hireling? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the article: "Shepherd
Or
Hireling?"
The Bible lays out the definitions of both
an overseer (under shepherd) and a hireling. John
10:11-13 I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd
giveth his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling,
and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf
catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep. The hireling
fleeth, because he is an hireling, and careth not for the
sheep. (KJV) 1 Tim. 3:1-3 Here is a
trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an
overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be
above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate,
self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not
given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not
quarrelsome, not a lover of money. (NIV) Titus
1:7-13 Since an overseer is entrusted with God's work,
he must be blameless, not overbearing, not quick-tempered,
not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing
dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves
what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and
disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message
as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by
sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. For there are
many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers,
especially those of the circumcision group. They must be
silenced, because they are ruining whole households by
teaching things they ought not to teach - and that for the
sake of dishonest gain. Even one of their own prophets has
said, "Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy
gluttons." This testimony is true. Therefore, rebuke them
sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith. (NIV) A
hireling does not really care about being a watchman, but is
more concerned with protecting his reputation, position and
income. A true watchman will guard the flock against
wolves from within (Acts 20:30) and without (Acts 20:29) no
matter the cost to his reputation, position or income.
Following is a little quiz you can take to see if you are a
true Biblical under shepherd as a leader in your church, are
becoming a hireling, or are one now.

Too many churches today are allowing music
to be used in their services that is not glorifying to the
Lord and can actually be a hindrance to the teaching of
sound doctrine. Pastors and leaders should be using their
leadership role to test what is being played and sung in
their churches. Though some are quick to test preaching and
teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the music being
used in the same services. This is a tragic mistake. Music
is a powerful medium. It is something that effects deeply
the body, mind and emotions. It is a proven fact that music
often stays with a person far longer than what is taught or
preached. Songs roam around in our heads, especially if the
melody appeals to us. What is often overlooked is the
serious impression music makes on people, and the teaching
they are getting over and over again as they allow the song
to repeat in their minds and on their lips. Music teaches
things much more subtly yet sometimes far more effectively.
That's why the lyrical content of music in the church, as
well as its effect on the spiritual lives of those who
perform and listen, should be vigorously examined by the
leaders of the church. This
is a 2-DVD set.

2 Cor. 13:5 Examine yourselves to
see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realise that Christ Jesus is in
you - unless, of course, you fail the test?
People who call themselves followers of Christ
or "Christians" and claim they are born again must believe
certain things. If they do not then they fail the test
of faith. They can claim they are born again all they
want and "once saved, always saved" but if they fail the test
of faith there is no eternal security. Only God knows
who will be saved, from beginning to end, because of His
foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom. 8:29, 1 Pet. 1:2).
God did not make an arbitrary judgment about who would be
saved and who would not. His Spirit is given to those He
foreknew, when convicted of sin by His Holy Spirit, would
choose to believe and commit themselves to Jesus Christ.
We are not God and we do not have His omniscience.
Therefore, according to Paul, we must be sure our belief
system is in the right place once our eyes have been opened to
the Truth. I am not saying we do not have assurance of
salvation, but our assurance comes not only because of His
Atonement and promises of salvation but from our continuing in
the Faith, which is always the Biblical criteria. Those who
would be Bible teachers must teach according to the whole
counsel of God's Word. Let me be clear. There is
only one way to salvation. That is by grace alone
through faith alone in Christ alone. I will deal with a
few of those issues following, but it is important to
recognize that being saved is not just a matter of believing
that Jesus lived, or that He was a man, or simply giving
mental ascent to His existence in whatever form.

"Blasphemizing" The Bible by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I am going to go over an article I wrote back
in 2006 in preparation for the book I wrote with Mike
Oppenheimer called 'Idolatry in Their Hearts'. This book
is an apologetic against the false teachings of the World
Christian Gathering on Indigenous People movement, the
Emerging Church and the New Apostolic Reformation which got
their ideas from the book "Eternity in Their Hearts" by Don
Richardson. At the time that book came out no one really
saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was promoting. All
they would have had to do was look at the two subtitles of
that book to understand the implications. The first
subtitle in the 1981 edition read: The Untold Story of
Christianity among Folk Religions of Ancient People.
Those who read this book found some interesting cross-cultural
ideas but apparently missed the false premise of the book
starting with the subtitle. How could Christianity be "among
folk religions" where the Gospel had not been preached (Rom.
10:14-15)? At that time Christians who read the book were
apparently satisfied that, though there was some questionable
material present, it made for an interesting discussion on how
to do cross-cultural ministry. The subtitle it has today,
which was first published in 1984, is as follows: Startling
Evidence of Belief in the One True God in Hundreds of Cultures
Throughout the World. This should have been a red flag
for many Christians but then, who reads subtitles? But
how could the "One True God" be known to Gentiles who did "not
know God".

Resources For Pastors including "Good English Bible Translations" by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I was talking with a pastor after a Wednesday
night service and he mentioned that I said I had done an
article comparing English Bible translations. He called
me up later and asked me to come back and present the contents
of that article I sent out in about 2002 to my mailing list
for the Pacific Waves Newsletter which, unfortunately, I can
no longer afford to publish and mail. However an archive
of past issues of that newsletter can be found here.
In that article I detailed a number of good and bad resources
for pastors including Bible translations, concordances,
commentaries, Bible dictionaries, etc. I present an
edited version of part of that article on this DVD,
particularly dealing with English Translations of the
Bible. Translation is a very detailed endeavor and
should only be undertaken by those with a proper education in
that subject and a sound doctrinal background. I read a
few books on that subject and it helped me understand the
complexities involved. Hebrew is a rich language so it
is hard to distill one Hebrew word down to one English
word. Greek is a very technical language and it is also
not easy to translate. This is why it is imperative to
use the good English translations out there for comparison
along with a good concordance and Bible dictionary.

A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMS Kingdom Now or Kingdom Come? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
There are two kingdoms being taught in many
churches today. Teaching about one of the kingdoms is on the
decline while the other is being promoted all over the
place. I am warning Christians that they need to check
out who is using the word "kingdom", the books they have been
reading and recommend on building "the kingdom", the people
they have been hanging out with at conferences, and what they
mean by "the kingdom".

From Church To Emerging Church DVD
Series by Sandy Simpson
The issue of the Emerging Church and it's
introduction into many churches and mission organizations has
reached a critical point. Many do not undersand what is
being leavened into churches by the EC leadership. Many
would be shocked to know their belief systems involve
Universalism, New Age, defense of postmodernism,
Interfaithism, and many other false doctrines. In order
to reach out to this generation the EC leadership is proposing
a whole new "map" to deal with what they perceive is a lack of
understanding on the part of the churches on how to
communicate. EC proponants believe the "scripture" for
today is evolving and must change in order to reach
postmoderns.

Idolatry In Their Hearts Landmark Book! by Sandy Simpson &
Mike Oppenheimer
Does having eternity in your heart mean that you
know God and are His child? Could Gentile cultures understand
the Gospel from the stars? Did God create man's cultures? Has
God always been in the process of redeeming cultures from the
time of Babel by placing in them a true revelation of Himself?
Is there the worship of YHWH in all cultures and religions
through the names of supreme beings? Have all cultures
always had a way to make things right between them and God?
These questions and many more are answered in this book that
addresses the false teachings of The New Apostolic Reformation
regarding missiological methods as being carried out by many
agencies including the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous
People, YWAM, and many Bible societies.
The New Apostolic Reformation -
What is it and where is it going? Every Pastor Needs
This! by Bill
Randles, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Jacob Prasch, Mike
Oppenheimer, Orrel Steinkamp, Gary Gilley, Dave Hunt, Sandy
Simpson and others.
This is a 6-DVD expose
of the NAR and it's leadership of C. Peter
Wagner, Cindy Jacobs, Chuck Peirce, Dutch Sheets, Bill Hamon,
Jack Deere and others.
Lessons In Forgiveness Great Study! by Sandy Simpson Through the years I
have been presented with many opportunities to forgive.
Sometimes the situation was so severe that it took me some
time to forgive and start the process of healing for
myself, and eventually for others. I learned that a
Christian needs to forgive other people even if they have
not repented of their sins. That can be really hard if we
let it be hard. But if we give our burdens over to the
Lord, He will carry them and that frees us up to treat
other people with love, compassion, and be in the right
frame of mind and heart to set them up for reconciliation
with Jesus Christ. That does not mean we tolerate their
sin. We simply forgive them for what they have done to us,
whether perceived or real, and move on to looking for ways
to redeem them. We can then present to them the "truth in
love" even when we have to rebuke them.
by Sandy Simpson was written to help
believers to realize the absolute necessity of growing to
maturity in Christ. Many churches are urging Christians to
push aside discernment in favor of experience. It is our
hope that this book will inspire many believers to fight
the good fight, finish the race, and keep the faith (2
Tim. 4:7).
The New Apostolic Reformation -
What is it and where is it going? Companion Book! by Sandy Simpson is now available in book form. This is the
DVD script plus commentary by Sandy Simpson. The commentary
of the DVD series is not in the book, but there are many
more quotes available than in the video series. Good
reference material. Also available on CD-ROM.
Letters To The Church Timely! by Sandy Simpson is a fitting manual for the Revelation
Christian. All the precepts are in the seven letters in
Revelation 1:9 - 3:22 to help us keep the faith, stay in
sound doctrine, and reach out to those who are perishing. I
hope and pray that this book will
help the reader to be an "overcomer".
DISCERNMENT TOOLKIT Demolish Arguments! by Sandy Simpson Want to be able to see your way through to
clear biblical discernment? Want a set of tools that will

TOOLKIT book is for

the DVD that can be paused for discussion. Also
includes a teacher guide and links to resources on the

(7) The Signs &
Wonders Movement Exposedby Mark Haville,
National Prayer Network, 1999 "The purpose of this video is to look at one contemporary movement, which sustains, underpins and feeds so many others:
the modern Signs and Wonder Movement. In an age when many
Christians are prepared to hand over responsibility for their
Christian walk to 'anointed' leaders, we have a recipe for
spiritual deception on a massive scale. This video will help
those who are questioning current phenomena and want to know
whether such movements are of God."
(8) Benny
Hinn - Possessed By Devils?by Rev. Joseph
Chambers, Paw Creek Ministries, 2000 "Hear Benny Hinn, in a guttural voice, say "I place a curse on
every man and woman that will stretch his hand against
this anointing." This was obviously an evil
spirit. Many more parallels are drawn between the
kingdom of satan and Benny Hinn's ministry. See
necromancy, etc. on this video."

Christ will appear bodily in upcoming crusades". Is this

world of Benny Hinn to a depth that few others have
gone. Are his miracle and healing claims accurate? Is
his teaching biblical? Is his transferable "anointing"
from God? Do his teachings and prophesies prove that he
is the type of teacher Christ told us to avoid?

Yoga, once viewed by Christians as a pagan import from the
East, has now become mainstream in the church. It's promoted as
helping you get "in the presence of God" when, in fact, it is a
blatantly Hindu practice that cannot be separated from Yoga.
With critical discernment, this hard-hitting and informative
film explores the ramifications of dismissing Yoga's core
spirituality. Blending biblical terminology with this does
not sanctify it. Many could "perish for a lack of knowledge"
about the dangers of Yoga and particularly "Christian Yoga" -- a
total oxymoron. Many believe they can practice yoga postures,
breathing, and focusing techniques devoid of yoga's
spirituality, not realizing that yoga is an inherent part of
Hindu philosophy which teaches man and nature are one with
divinity .Today, yoga is experiencing a worldwide renaissance
and in America has more than 70,000 yoga teachers working in
20,000 locations. Although viewed primarily as fitness
instructors, these trainers are in reality the leading
missionaries of eastern religion in the west. The twenty-seven
billion dollar a year yoga industry is marketed to students,
athletes, businessmen, pregnant women and senior citizens
promising solutions for stress reduction, concentration
problems, and issues of self confidence. Once viewed by
Christians as a pagan import from the East, yoga has now become
mainstream in the church through "Christ-centered yoga classes"
designed to help improve spirituality and experience "the
presence of God". But is yoga's mysticism compatible with
historic Christianity? Video-journalist Caryl Matrisciana, who
was born and raised in India, returns to her native land to
search for truth among India's leading experts and examines what
Christian Yoga practitioners in the West are saying about their
Yoga participation. With critical discernment, this hard-hitting
and informative DVD explores the ramifications of dismissing
yoga's core spirituality, and blending Biblical terminology and
precepts with eastern meditative techniques and practices.

The DVD that this promo advertises is one of the best exposes of

watched the full DVD, which is obtainable via the above link. It
is well worth purchasing and viewing. Neither CWM nor Philip
Powell gains anything from this. Benny Hinn is shown appealing for
money, which he promised to a partially blind boy for his
education. The father said no money was received, notwithstanding
an emotional plea to millions on TV. Hinn claimed the boy was
healed. The father and the boy denied it. “Suffer the
Children�? takes a look into the lives and lifestyles of some of
the biggest names in tele-evangelism today. It explores the
origins of the Word of Faith movement, also known as the
Prosperity Gospel, and finds that its origins are not Christian
at all.

1 and Hour
2. The three of us discussed a number of very serious, and
dangerously deceptive, spiritual practices. Many of them,
Christians, "church-goers", non-Christians, and numerous
Christian leaders see no problem engaging in. Here are a number
of the the of practices we tried to briefly define and comment
on: Mystical and Supernaturalistic Holistic Health / Alternative
Healing: Therapeutic touch, Reiki Therapy, Acupressure energy
channelling, Acupressure massage, Acupressure touch,
Acupuncture, Biofeedback (energy / spiritual).Energy Massage
Therapy: Reflexology, Weight No More (Edgar Cayce's "Psychic
Message" Health Reduction Program). Spiritual / Mystical /
Contemplative: Taize (Interfaith ecumenism, chanting, etc)),
Centering Prayer, Palms up, Palms Down, Practicing the Presence,
Breath Prayers, Lectio Divina, Labyrinth, Sacred Space, The
Silence, Non-Spiritual' Martial Arts, Divine Mystery,
Visualization, Attitudinal Therapy. Our main reason for
discussing these things and warning about them is because they
stem from either one, or all, of the following: Mystical and
supernaturalistic health related methods, Founded on occult
principles, Dangerous forms of occult and mystical practices,
Based on the writings and beliefs associated with either
paganism, spiritism, occultism or mysticism.
(36) The
Audacity of the Lakeland Revival DVD by Mike
Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 9/08 Why did the Lakeland outpouring fail? Can Lakeland be refuted
as a real revival. This video documents the teachings, exposes
the fabricated supernaturalism that was taught to the youth as
real biblical experiences. Numerous clips from its broadcasts on
youtube prove the unsound doctrine that made this a Toronto
repeat. You will hear the false prophets lift up Bentley to
introduce a new move of the Spirit and prophesy his success. You
will learn of the spiritual agenda these men hold behind this
revival (Latter Rain theology). This video will help you show
why Toronto style revivals are not sent from God nor approved by

Walter
Martin Video Page at Christian Research Service,
9/7/08 Known as the father of cult-evangelism, Walter Martin
(1928-1989), was the founder of Christian Research Institute and
author of the best selling book, The Kingdom of the Cults.
Through his articles, books, debates, lectures, and
uncompromising stance on the truth of God's word, Walter Martin
inspired a generation of Christians to know what we believe and
why we believe it, and defend the faith, once for all delivered
to the saints (Jude 3). As you watch these videos, open your
Bible, listen carefully, and be blessed.
(40)Discernment
Toolkit radio interview with Sandy Simpson by Jan
Markel, Olive Tree Ministries, 8/2/08 Making a clarion call for discernment, Sandy Simpson from
"Deception in the Church" talks with Jan about his book, "The
Discernment Tool Kit." Since the Bible places so much importance
on discernment, why are so many lacking in it? How does one
attain it? And how and why has it been abandoned in the last 15
years? These questions and more are tackled.

Seeker Friendly/ Purpose Driven Church Movement by
Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 10/08 This video is filled with information on what the seeker
friendly church model is and proves why it is wrong. What is it

quote in the Purpose Driven Life, his philosophy of ministry and
means to bring about change. The Hegelian dialectic is explained
(diaprax) so one can identify its working in various aspects of
our culture and church. This is a good video to teach classes
with and introduce them to why these ideas introduced are not
Biblically based. Also a good video to give to those involved
and have them think deeper on the subjects.

The
Early Church by Richard Bennet, The Berean Beacon,

It is of great importance to study the early Christian Church.
What were the beliefs and what was the basis of truth that was
held by these early believers in Christ? In what parts of the
world did the genuine early Christian Church exist? Did these
believers evangelize, and what was their message? All these
questions, and more, are answered on this DVD, as well as exact
quotations from leaders in early post-apostolic times. Today’s
Bible believers need to analyze these historical facts. This is
done in this documented, professional DVD. Because of 4,172
viewers on YouTube alone, and the great interest in this program,
we post it as our main DVD. Kindly make it known to others, and if

Last week Jan Markell (Olive Tree Ministries) and I were on the
air live on KKMS, discussing Spiritual Abuses that are not just
found in Cults. We touched on various signs of abuse in [abusive]
Christian churches, why many people are leaving these churches,
and what people ought to do in the midst of this painful tragedy.
Jan's program has now been posted online and may be listened to at
through the Understanding The Times Radio Archive. The
summary for the radio program is as follows: "Jan is joined by
Chris Lawson from the Spiritual Research Network. The topic is
spiritual abuse which is not just found in the cults. Jan and
Chris outline how it takes place in the church today. What are the
signs? What are the characteristics of an abuser? And how can your
rescue someone trapped in an abuse situation in a church or
para-church group?"

Ministries, DVD, 2/10
Today, in an effort to redefine Christianity, alarming numbers of
popular yet apostate “evangelical�? leaders known as “The Emerging
Church Movement�? are abandoning historic and biblical standards.
This unscriptural, even deadly movement is part of the predicted
“great falling away�? of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as Emergent leaders
now proclaim that the Church has failed in its mission, that
doctrine is irrelevant and that the very basis of Christian
thinking has always been faulty. In this seminar, Eric defines
Emergent thinking and terms, concisely exposing the leaders and
errors of the Emergent Church

New
Apostolic Reformation on CrossTalk, Host: Ingrid
Schlueter, Guest: Sarah Leslie, 5/3/10 Sarah Leslie is an author and researcher, a member of the board
of directors of Discernment Ministries and also a member of the
Discernment Research Group. In response to the May Day event
held this past Saturday at the Lincoln Memorial, Ingrid and
Sarah brought to listener attention a movement known as the New
Apostolic Reformation. This title was coined by C. Peter Wagner
during the 1990’s. Featuring teachers such as Dutch Sheets,
Cindy Jacobs and false prophetess Stacy Campbell, the New
Apostolic Reformation is centered around a theology of
dominionism. It teaches that Christians can take down demonic
spirits in order to take back territories and institutions for
Christ. The movement is post-millennial believing that Jesus
will not return until Christians take over the 7 Mountains.
These “mountains�? are institutions like the media,
entertainment, the economy, etc. In other words, their
eschatology requires that instead of reaching people with the
gospel one heart at a time, they believe they are to conquer the
earth one demonic spirit at a time and make the earth perfect so
that Jesus can return.
(61) The
New Apostolic Reformation by Mike Oppenheimer,
5/15/10 Mike Oppenheimer and Jan Markell discuss the theology of the
New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Are the self-proclaimed
apostles today functioning as they did in Bible times? Why are
they different and thus proclaim a different gospel? Their
leaders say we can return the earth to a "Garden of Eden" stage
and that Christ won't return until they do. They will accomplish
it through spiritual warfare, signs and wonders. C. Peter Wagner
is the head of this movement and most participants who are also
in authority are named. Some denominations are sounding a
warning to their people about the NAR, including the Assemblies
of God.

(65) The
Political and Religious Deception of the Green Movement
by Mike Oppenheimer, 7/10 Deception seems to be in every aspect of our lives. One of the
strongest, deepest and most influential deceptions in our day is
the Environmental movement. It has finally reached a crescendo
with the exposure of emails of scientists that covered up the
facts for their agenda. Is global warming science, politics or
religious? Is this really a life or death issue for the planet
and her creatures or is there more to this than what we have
been told? How accurate are the Scientists findings. As
controversial as this topic is, we can see the media is on the
side of science, BAD science, dishonest conclusions are promoted
in the media as if they are factual. Understanding the new age
agenda that has influenced nearly everything. Its not about
Global warming but about using this threat to have control. What
we had heard for years is now confirmed as the globalists
agenda. Transformation of countries through Green policies.
Where did it begin? Where is it leading us? What is their
purpose in wanting people to be environmentally friendly. Who
are some of the people involved and how organized are they? The
video covers the re-education of our children to be global
citizens, the media's bias and subsequent brainwashing of the
masses to accept green policies. it has also infringed on the
church. This video presents the quotes of those involved and
gives answers through power point, videos; with logic, actual
facts and the Bible. Be aware of what is taking place, become
educated, this issue is not going away and is affecting
Christianity. - One hour and 10 minute long video.

(68) Dangers,
Toils
and Snares by Allistair Begg, Truth For Life, 11/8/10
- How are things going these days? Is everything running as
planned, or does it feel like you’re just barely hanging on?
Maybe you’re lonely, facing illness, stressed over problems at
work, or maybe you’re just overwhelmed with a never-ending
stream of challenges. As you survey the landscape around you,
all you can see are more troubles on the horizon. Thankfully, we
don’t have to face these twists and turns alone. In this series
of messages, Alistair Begg considers some of the most common
dangers, toils, and snares that we encounter in our daily lives,
and he shows us how a knowledge of God’s character and the
Gospel will give us the tools we need to overcome both common
and uncommon challenges with a Biblical attitude. This
is a series of messages on this subject in MP3 or CD format.

(71) Here
is
Your God! (Audio Series) by Allistair Begg,
12/10 If you travel to India, you’ll encounter a culture that is
governed by the worship of hundreds of deities. Western society
is no different, although our gods and idols tend to be much
more subtle. But what are these gods and idols? Are they real?
How do they measure up to the God of the Bible? Any agent of the
treasury knows that the best way to identify a counterfeit is to
study the real thing. The same is true with God: we can identify
false gods best by studying and knowing the one true God. In
this series of messages, Alistair Begg examines the character
traits of God that He reveals to us in the Bible and through the
incarnation of His Son, Jesus Christ. Learn how the true God
differs from the false idols we all set up in our hearts and how
a relationship with this God should impact every aspect of our
lives.
(73) Crosstalk,
Monday,
February 28, 2011 - Brannon Howse: "Evangelicals Unite With
Glenn Beck’s New Age Mormonism" Brannon gives details concerning a recent Glenn Beck program
that he believes provides good evidence of a major shift taking
place within evangelicalism. He noted how German Christians
began to set aside their theology and doctrine and began to
embrace the higher criticism of Julius Wellhausen who believed
that human reason was above the Bible. Eventually they
united under a bishop hand-picked by Adolph Hitler. Brannon
believes that a similar movement is happening today as many
evangelical Christians question the authority of Scripture via
philosophies like theistic evolution, mysticism, gnosticism,
post-modernism and uncritical tolerance. It’s within this
questioning atmosphere that some evangelical Christian leaders
are creating allegiances with individuals like Beck, who embrace
an alternative worldview, in an effort to supposedly storm the
gates of Hell. In support of this premise, Brannon presented
audio clips from Glenn Beck’s program that aired this past
Friday, a program that featured Rabbi Daniel Lapin, Historian
David Barton, James Robison, and former Vietnam Vet Dave
Roever. Brannon noted that if we’re going to reclaim
America, it won’t be accomplished by setting aside our theology
and doctrine and becoming more ecumenical; instead what we must
do is reclaim our churches and preach the gospel.
(74) The
Battle Against the Queen of Heaven on Mt. Everest by
Mike Oppenheimer, DVD, 3/18/11 How does the NAR, New Apostolic Reformation conduct their
spirit warfare? In this one of kind video you will see firsthand
the event that they claimed changed the world. Ana Mendez claims
that her spiritual warfare on Everest was “one of the most
important exploits the Holy Spirit sent the church to do.�?
Certain new Apostles and prophets are generals in a spirit
warfare army. They claim to have new revelation and the keys on
how to defeat Satan’s kingdom and bring God's kingdom on earth.
Ana Mendez under the approval of Peter Wagner went with Rony
Chaves, Silvia Venezuela, Doris Wagner and others to Nepal.
Doris and Silvia led a group in spirit warfare prayer at the
Everest View hotel, Mendez, Chaves with a few others hiked Mt.
Everest to Battle the Queen of heaven and defeat her so Babylon
would be overthrown. Because: "the prince of this world has
established his dwelling place, a place where the imitator could
sit like God over all the earth. This place is the highest
mountain on the world it is Mt. Everest�? (DVD “Mount Everest
Expedition�?). The Bible does not speak or instruct us to
identify and confront principalities, powers in prayer or travel
to where they are supposedly located to do prophetic prayer acts
or declarations? But according to the spirit warfare model of
the new apostolic movement, it is necessary. In their spiritual
warfare they think and do beyond what is written, something the
Apostle Paul warned of. We heard of this expedition in the late
90’s but had not seen what actually took place. What we see them
doing is both eerie and disturbing. Enhance your biblical
education on these mystical practices that have entered the
church. This video will bring awareness to the body of Christ of
what is really being practiced in their spirit warfare methods
and how far removed it is from what the Bible actually teaches.
After seeing this video it will confirm that what they are
teaching and practicing is not a Biblical method of spiritual
warfare and needs to be avoided. Become educated to prevent you
and others from any involvement with spiritual warfare taught by
the New apostles and prophets movement under Peter Wagner and
Chuck Pierce. The video is 1 hour long with clips and power
point explanations of their spirit warfare.

(76) Knowing
the
True Christ in an Age of Counterfeits on Crosstalk
Radio, Date: April 21, 2011 Host: Ingrid Schlueter Guest:
Warren Smith
Warren Smith (B.A. University of Pennsylvania; M.S.W. Tulane
University) is a free lance writer and community social worker who
was formerly involved in the New Age movement. He has served as a
program coordinator for people with special needs, directed
several homeless programs, and has worked most recently as a
Hospice social worker in New Orleans and on the California coast.
He has written extensively on the subject of spiritual deception
and has been widely interviewed on radio and television. He is
author of The Light that was Dark, Deceived on Purpose, A
Wonderful Deception and False Christ Coming: Does Anybody Care?
Having been saved out of the New Age movement, Warren Smith knows
that there are many "christs" in the world today. As we are about
to observe Good Friday and the resurrection of Christ, Warren
underscores the importance of knowing the true and risen Christ,
not a counterfeit. The discussion begins with mention of Shirley
McClain. She may not have been taken seriously years ago because
of her New Age beliefs yet she was recently on the Oprah Winfrey
Show. Why? It’s because some New Age teachings are no longer
considered “fringe�? but are now mainstream. Smith proves the
point when he references Purpose-Driven author Rick Warren who has
brought in three New Age doctors into his church through his
“Daniel Plan�?. From there the discussion moves on to Marianne
Williamson and her deceptive book, A Return to Love: Reflections
on the Principles of A Course in Miracles, the deceptive use of
Bible terminology by New Age proponents, the experience that
pointed him to Christ, the ties that the Emergentmovement has with
the New Age, and more. Also mentioned was Chuck Klein's
Understanding the Times conference on April 30th in Cedarburg,
Wisconsin. Pastor Larry Debruyn, Sarah Leslie and Warren Smith
will be speaking on counterfeit spirituality. Listen: RealAudio|

Once there were two Church choices, Roman Catholicism and
Protestantism, but in recent decades Christianity has been
redefined giving rise to unprecedented quasi-Christian spiritual
philosophies and practices. Claiming to be "revivals" are these
the counterfeits Jesus warned would occur before His return?
(Luke 18:8) Many so-called Christian leaders are introducing
innovative teachings based on new Bible translations and
paraphrases that alter the timeless truths of Holy Scripture. A
more progressive spirituality, with roots in eastern mysticism,
is replacing faith in God's Word. This "New Christian
Spirituality" poses as a more relevant "New Gospel" for today's
Postmodern culture that prefers subjective and emotional
feelings, rather than absolute truths. Biblical Truth is the
foundation for knowing God. His promises and prophecies. At
Pentecost, the Church was given the Holy Spirit of Truth to be
guided into all Truth. Jesus Christ, Who is Truth Incarnate,
taught that after His death, resurrection and ascension to
Heaven, He would bring His Church to His Father's house before
returning with them to govern the world for a 1000 year Kingdom
period. Biblical faith trusts God's promise to fulfil these
prophecies. However many within the Emerging, Seeker-friendly,
Purpose Driven, New Apostolic, Roman Catholic, Protestant,
Reformed, neo-Evangelical, Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches
deny many teachings and Prophesies in God's Word as literal
Truth. Many promote the false gospel of transforming the world
for the common good, encouraging a "working together", and
bringing about social justice on planet earth. Through modern
marketing techniques and business management skills a global
agenda of faith, commerce and government is being orchestrated
for churches to partner with other faiths for world peace and
unity. This man made utopia will usher in the reign of
Antichrist and his kingdom, preceding the coming of the True
Jesus Christ and the True Kingdom of God on earth.
In this important DVD, Ken Ham discusses the profound cultural
changes taking place in the Western world, as God's Word is
rejected and man's fallible ideas are welcomed. Ken relates
shocking statistics about why young people are leaving church and
abandoning the faith of their parents. What will come as surprise
to many is that our youth are not falling away when they go off to
college. The sad truth is that by the time they leave home, they
are "Already Gone." Order the DVD here.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers,
disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. – 2Corinthians
11:13 Sandy Simpson, of the Apologetics Coordination Team, joins
me to discuss the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Sandy runs
Deception in the Church, an extensive library of resources on
the NAR and related movements and organizations. Sandy does a
fantastic job of describing in just an hour a movement that
really needs many hours to really understand properly. It is my
hope that this episode will inspire people to dig deeper to
learn more about the New Apostolic Reformation and the
unbiblical practices that go on within the movement. Please
check out the show notes and visit the additional resources
section. The New Apostolic Reformation is a dangerous movement
that is carrying many Christians away from orthodox, Biblical
practices. This episode is available to stream or download here.
False Converts in the Church - The Lord Jesus said, "Not
everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven" Some professing Christians will hear Him say, 'I never
knew you; Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness".(Mat.
7:21-23). These are the most terrifying words anyone could ever
hear on judgment day. This is why all Christians are called to
examine themselves to make sure their faith is genuine (2 Cor.
13:5). Witnessing for the Glory of God - Every Christian is
called to glorify God and one of the best ways to do this is to
praise the One who called us out of darkness into His glorious
light. This message will encourage you to be a faithful witness
for the Lord Jesus Christ and help you overcome any obstacles
standing in the way. In these last days there may be nothing
more urgent or important than our obedience to the Great
Commission.
''...through covetousness shall they with feigned words make
merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth
not, and their damnation slumbereth not.'' (2 Peter 2:3) At this
End of the Age, Sundquist proves that Satan is 'making merchandise
of men's souls' in three distinct areas: 1) Modern Psychotherapy
vs Scripture - Occult and New Age authors boldly brag that the
human founding fathers of Psychotherapy and Psychology received
their understandings from Familiar Spirits! Yet, today even
'christian' churches are using Psychotherapy to screen pastors and
missionaries; 2) Some pastors today are taking control over
churches, over church bank accounts, and then selling the land and
the church! 3) Global Conspiracy to divide the land of Israel for
monetary and political gain! Sundquist reveals that this plan was
conceived over 100 years ago, and brings down God's special
judgement in Joel 3. Almost 4 hours of solid Biblical teaching.

Prince: Negotiating the gospel of grace - Integrating word
faith teaching with the gospel DVD by Mike
Oppenheimer, 12/13/11 Joseph Prince has broken in on the TV networks and has become
known for preaching the gospel of grace. But what he has done is
incorporated his word faith teachings and promises with
the gospel health and wealth; exaggerating the gospel of grace.
Prince is presenting special revelation according to his view on
the gospel, teaching that we no longer need to confess sin
but instead confess our righteousness in Christ. This video
shows his quotes by power point and numerous video clips video
making it clear that the is a word faith teacher and the basis
for his message is the false word faith teachings of Kenneth
Hagin and others. The DVD is almost 2 hours long.
What are Emergent Church leaders teaching that has so many

(87) Joel
Osteen: The Smile of Deception by Mike Oppenheimer,
Let Us Reason Ministries, 6/18/12 What are Joel Osteen's beliefs based on, what has made him one
of the most watched and popular TV preachers? Because of peoples
lack of discernment they are unable to recognize what is
obviously wrong. The teachings of Joel Osteen are not only
Biblically light and often out of context. Joel Osteen's open
ended spiritual inclusiveness is misleading many. Osteen's
teaching combines positive thinking, with Kenneth Hagin's
positive confession with the secret. He has it based on word
faith teaching that he learned from his father. His positive
thinking and confession visualization techniques that are
aligned with "the Secret" that Oprah promotes. He is promoting
decreeing, creating by words; word faith declarations with
Visualization. All this amounts to a dangerous mix that departs
from Biblical teaching into new age/mysticism. Numerous video
clips with pp presentation, makes it clear what has made
Lakewood the largest church in America. Order this

(88) True
confessions of a word faith teacher - Joyce Meyer
video by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 6/22/12
Joyce Meyer is probably the the most well paid teacher in the
church. She lives an opulent lifestyle portraying her prosperity
teaching to her adherents. They don't mind, they support her in
this. Joyce's basis for her teaching is word faith; the
teachings of Hagin and Copeland etc. It is positive confession
combined with the psychology of loving oneself. She also holds
to the word faith teaching of a continued gospel payment after
the cross; Jesus paid the price, completing it in hell. While
many of these teachings are not often seen on TV, they are the
foundation for everything else she teaches. Words have power, we
can even have angels to do our bidding by our positive
confession. This video is a power point presentation with has
both audio and video.
(89) Wide
is
the Gate: The Emerging New Christianity, Vol. 2 by
Caryl Matrisciana, 6/25/12
This DVD (in five parts, 216 minutes total) lays bare today's
deceptive movements and the popular trends that are leading an
undiscerning church away from biblical Christianity and into the
ecumenical unity of the one-world religion of the coming
Antichrist. It gives an urgent warning to believers and calls for
a return to the faith once-for-all delivered to the saints. Watch
the preview here.
(90) Rick
Warren's Panacea: A fig leaf P.E.A.C.E Plan by Mike
Oppenheimer, 7/11/12 Why is there such controversy surrounding Rick Warren, his
Purpose Driven teaching and PEACE plan? This video shows
systematically what Warren has progressed into and where he is
taking the church. Borrowing from his mentor, business manager
Peter Drucker, Warren implements the 3-Legged Stool into the
church(uniting the sectors of government, businesses and
'faith'). Warren believes he has found the answer which will
result to solve the worlds problems. He continually exposes the
church to non biblical concepts and is willing to align himself
with the world and those of other religions for what he deems a
greater purpose. From promoting a health plan with doctors that
introduce eastern type meditation's, word faith teachers and
others who espouse interfaith practices Warren has become the
quintessential ecumenist for our age. His PEACE plan is open to
anyone and everyone, even atheists. For a Christian, unity has
to be based on the teachings of Scripture not on uniting with
others who oppose Christ to do generic good works. This is
forming a globalization of Religions (he calls 'Faiths'),
uniting with the secular, with political organizations, building
a unity as they did in Babylon. This introduces Humanism as the
common denominator for unity. In this video we answer why
Warren's fig leaf P.E.A.C.E plan produces works without fruit
and misleads the church off the narrow road we are to be on.
With numerous video and audio clips in a power point
presentation this is a must see for all those whose church has
become involved with Warren's teachings and methodology.
(92) The
Life, Teachings and Legacy of William Branham by Mike
Oppenheimer, 8/18/12 One cannot understand the modern miracle revivals or healing
crusades of Benny Hinn, Rodney Browne (laughter), Toronto,
Brownsville, or Todd Bentley without referring to the healing
revivals of the 40’s-50’s.that were steered and popularized by
William Branham. Nearly all the practices of today's apostles,
Prophets, healers, faith ministries, are being copied. Visits by
angels and the Lord Jesus, words of knowledge (telling people
where people live and secrets of their lives), new revelations
were all part of William Branham’s ministry operation. One can
trace portions of the revivals in our modern era back to
him. The Latter Rain teachings began by Branham and spread to so
many. Branham believed he was born with a personal angel that
was a gift. But he did not think of it as such until he was
converted and went to church. This gave him an answer to a
disembodied voice (spirit) that accompanied him from birth and
instructed him through life, telling him future events and
diagnosing peoples diseases. The video is filled with audio and
video on crucial teachings of Branham (and others that admire
him) that show that his angel was in charge of the supernatural
taking place. Understanding Branham's ministry in the 40'sand
50's is key to our day. Once we know about Branham we can
identify the strange teachings and practices taking place from
the new apostles and prophets trying to bring their mystical
(Latter Rain) revival in the church today. (you can read
our articles on Branham in the Latter rain section). DVD is one
hour and 15 minutes long.
(93) Quantum
Mysticism
Conference DVDs by Herescope, 8/21/12 Discernment Ministries held a very special research conference
in Niles, Michigan June 21-23. Niles is the new home of our
ministry’s library, the Opal Reddin Library, which archives over
40 years of research material in the Latter Rain, Dominionism,
Third Wave and New Apostolic Reformation. We heard
incredible sessions from Warren Smith, Dr. Martin Erdmann,
Pastor Larry DeBruyn, Gaylene Goodroad, Jewel Grewe, Pastor Jeff
Whittaker, and Sarah Leslie, which covered:
� The emerging eschatology involving the return of
space alien creatures, Nephilim and Mayan legends in December
2012. � The rise of Quantum Spirituality, merging quantum physics
with eastern mysticism and postmodern evangelicalism. � Technocracy and Transhumanism and how the this is changing
the church and the world. � The latest research on the New Apostolic Reformation and the
Latter Rain false apostles and prophets. � How Hollywood is being used by the Quantum Spirituality
advocates to create stimulating new imagery to promote pagan
mythologies and idolatries. � How evangelical leaders are using ancient occult writings,
apocryphal writings, astrology and modern UFO lore to build upon
Scripture.
(94) The
Biblical
Uncovering of the Pope and the Papacy by Richard
Bennett, Berean Beacon, 8/26/12 None, but the Lord God, could have described beforehand, office
of the Pope and Papacy.Man could never have anticipated the Papacy
only God foretells it. That a power claiming to act for God, to be
"as God," in the midst of the Christian Church, flouting His truth
and mocking His own Holiness, defies imagination. Yes a fraudulent
sacramental system and false pretenses have ruled the world for
ages from the very same seven-hilled city where the pagan Roman
Empire once ruled by military force. None the less we trust the
Lord of Grace to save many precious Catholics from this system.
All the powers of darkness and apostasy cannot shake the Lord
God's power and promises, "For by grace are you saved through
faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of
works, lest any man should boast." We pray for and expect a
display of His love power and grace as this DVD is viewed, to His
glory and for the salvation of souls. If you personally are
touched by it, please let us know.
(95) Daniel
Factor
Conference 2012 Speakers: Jacob Prasch, Jack Hibbs,
Paul Smith, Marco Quintana at California State University of San
Bernardino, 8/27/12 Although the vision of the world's future was revealed by God
to the prophet Daniel nearly 2,600 years ago, it came with the
stipulation that the complete meaning was to be sealed up until
those final days when "many will go back and forth, and
knowledge will increase". The Daniel Factor expands on the
foundation provided by the recently released investigative
documentary "The Daniel Project" in which Daniel's predictions
are allowed to speak for themselves as to their literal
fulfillment in our present time. This conference does not take
the path of sensationalistic hype normally associated with the
likes of Nostradamus or "End Timers", which can require great
imagination to sell their conclusions to the public, but instead
provides Bible expositors who permit what was revealed to Daniel
to stand on its own merit, allowing the audience to come to
their own conclusion. Beginning with the re-establishment of the
state of Israel in 1948, there are literally dozens of very
specific predictions in the Bible, all originally provided long
ago in ancient history, but which have already come true in our
lifetime. Building on the basis of all those Bible prophecies
which have recently come to fulfillment, The Daniel Factor
examines what God revealed through His prophets that is to come
next. The Daniel Factor conference will provide attendees of all
backgrounds a deeper understanding of the basics originally set
forth in The Daniel Project documentary, where specific
fulfillments of prophecy which have already taken place were
examined by various experts. Here, specifically, each speaker
will provide a more detailed examination of what the Bible
states will come next based on what has already literally come
true. Although such prophecies date back thousands of years,
they predict in astonishing details the specific world-shaping
events that are leading to the end of the world as we know it
today to something entirely new. Daniel was specifically told,
"the wise will understand" as the meaning is unsealed and
revealed in the last days leading up to the final fulfillment of
these events, a time which has now come for these things not
just to be understood intellectually, but acted upon
spiritually. Watch Part
1 & Part
2 on YouTube.

Reformation - Part 2 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing
but inwardly are kravenous wolves." - Matthew 7:15 A year ago, for the November 2011
episode, I interviewed Sandy Simpson on the New Apostolic
Reformation. Sandy heads up the Apologetics
Coordination
Team, and runs Deception
in the Church, an extensive library of resources on the
NAR and related movements and organizations. This episode is a
follow-up to our previous discussion. We began with the
assumption that those listening have heard the first discussion
we had. If you haven't, that episode can be found here. We
answer some questions people had from that episode, get into
some further examination of the New Apostolic Reformation, and
try to keep from repeating what was already covered as much as
possible.

you down into submissive silence?
(102) Church
of
Tares: Purpose Driven, Seeker Sensitive, Church Growth &
New World Order at James Sundquist Media,
11/30/12 Can the Church borrow the marketing tools of the world and
apply them to the Church? What is the history of the Church
Growth movement and its false premises? Who is involved in the
new evangelicalism and second reformation? Why are these
movements embracing contemplative mysticism? How does this
movement play into the New World Order? These questions and more
are answered in Church of Tares: Purpose Driven,
Seeker-Sensitive, Church Growth & New World Order. Church of
Tares chronicles the man-centered pragmatism of these
evangelical Christian movements in comparison to the Bible's
instruction for building the Church of Jesus Christ. As a sequel
to The Real Roots of the Emergent Church, Church of Tares
documents the connections between the liberal Emergent Church
movement and the Church Growth movement. Both movements'
leadership were discipled by business management guru Peter
Drucker, who was attracted to the megachurch movement as a
social phenomenon that could bring about his "new society" and
New World Order. Megacurch pastors Rick Warren and Bill Hybels
as well as Leadership Network founder Bob Buford all acknowledge
Drucker (who professed not to be a Christian) as their mentor
and have built their organizations upon his secular business
management philosophies rather than the foundation of Jesus
Christ. The fruit of these movements is great compromise of the
Gospel and the Great Commission. Rick Warren claims to be
ushering in a new spiritual awakening and second reformation
with his P.E.A.C.E. Plan. But this reform appears to be a social
reformation rather than a spiritual one by joining together in
ministry with unbelievers to fight global giants. Such
compromise has led to the affirming response letter to the
Common Word document which declares Muhammad to be a prophet and
the Bible and Qur'an to be of the "same Divine origin." Here
is the

(103) Showtime
for
the Sheep by The Berean Call, 2/12/13 Could the church be enthralled with something that might have a
host of problems beyond just a popular motion picture about
Jesus Christ? T. A. observed a connection between The
Passion and trends taking place among professing Bible
believers such as the increasing use of entertainment in
presenting the gospel, the ecumenical relationship between
Catholics and Evangelicals, the use of imagery verging on
idolatry, and the major drift away from the objective Word of
God to highly subjective visual media. MP3 book read by T.
A. McMahon.

(107) Questions For Those
Considering Yoga (4:18) - Video by Chris Lawson,
3/8/13 It is for good reason that Christian pastors in India have been
found to weep over the ignorance of Christians in the West that
do yoga for "exercise." Christian or non-Christian, it seems
that most people in Western civilization have never been
properly warned about the dangers of yoga. Asking simple
questions, Chris Lawson presents various straightforward
considerations that people should seriously think about before
launching themselves - and those around them - into influences
that the the world of yoga can produce within them, upon them
and through them.

Islam,
and Armageddon - DVD by Dave Hunt, The Berean Call,
2003 With more than 3,000 years of history, Jerusalem is mentioned
an astonishing 800 times in the Bible, and prophesied to play a
key role in world destiny. Many of these prophecies have already
come to pass, with some yet to be fulfilled. This video shows
how the current peace process is fraught with peril, why it is
impossible for Jerusalem to know true peace in our age how the
Antichrist will lead the world's armies to destroy Israel, the
truth about the Vatican's intentions, and the Palestinian myth.
It powerfully corrects much of the "misinformation and
propaganda" aggressively advanced by the world media and others.

(111) The
Papacy's
Claim to have the Authority of the Apostle Peter (MP3)
by Richard Bennett, 5/12/13 For most Catholics, the authority of the Pope as derived from
Peter is the main cornerstone of their faith. For others,
it is the lifesaver to fall back on when all else fails.
The Lord clearly stated that upon His divinity as �the Son of
the living God,�and His role as the Messiah He is, in fact, the
Rock on which His Church is built. Nonetheless, the Papacy
declares its Church to be founded on the Apostle Peter
alone. This is the lynchpin of Roman Catholicism. In
this audio, Pastor W. J. Mencarow, along with Richard Bennett,
clearly documents the historical facts behind the Papal power
pretensions.
(112) Contemplative
Spirituality
Concerns Part 1 (Video) by Chris Lawson, Spiritual
Research Network, 5/31/13 Many people today - Christians and non-Christians - are
engaging in Contemplative Spirituality practices. What many do
not realize is that the Spiritual Formation "centering prayer"
movement, with its mystical and occult methods and techniques,
is part of a global Interfaith system of spirituality, a
spirituality that is rooted in Eastern mysticism and
philosophies such as pantheism (All is God, God is all), monism
(All is one) and panentheistic (All in God, God in all)
evolutionary occultism (the "hidden" things, "universal cosmic
energies," quantum spirituality, etc). This short introductory
video speaks to fact that the "centering prayer" and
"meditation" movements within the the New Spirituality/New
Gospel/New Age movement are hostile to the Person, nature and
work of Jesus Christ and the biblical Gospel.
(113) Rescuing
Loved
Ones from God�s Wrath (Video) by Mike Gendron,
6/4/13 God�s Word exhorts Christians to �save others, snatching them
out of the fire� (Jude 23). We would be more motivated if we
could get a brief glimpse of the horrifying punishment that
awaits those who die without Christ. Salvation is of the Lord
from beginning to end, but He has given every Christian the
privilege and responsibility to share His Gospel with those who
are perishing. If we are to be effective in our witnessing for
the Lord Jesus Christ, we must do it God�s way according to
God�s Word. Here are seven biblical principles to follow as you
seek to make disciples of your friends and family. The second
message is �Why Should Anyone Believe the Bible?� Mike looks at
how the Bible compares with �holy� books of other religions? Can
you explain to a non-Christian why the Bible stands alone as the
most trustworthy source for truth? Here are 10 verifiable claims
that make the Bible the most unique and supernatural book ever
written.

(115) Protecting
Children
From Spiritual Deception Host: Jim Schneider, Guest:
Berit Kjos, VCY America, 7/10/13 Berit Kjos is a respected researcher as well as the author of
multiple books and articles. She is also a concerned
parent and grandparent who has extensively studied religious
trends, today's social changes, the roots and branches of the
United Nations and the transformation of the Church. She
has an active website addressing contemporary issues and warning
of the spiritual trends of our day. She joined Jim to
discuss her book, "How to Protect Your Child from the New Age
& Spiritual Deception." Berit began by communicating that
the amount of deception, both subtle and blatant, is increasing
especially in areas like sexuality and sensuality.
Christianity is not welcome in the public schools as global
solidarity is the mantra of the day. Berit explains how... ...schools are actively fighting Christianity and in some cases
actually corrupting the values of youth. ...the New Age movement is alive and well in the public
education system. ..."common core" teachings have a global goal. ...television and digital media depict Christianity and the
effect of these influences on children. ...parents can protect their children from attacks on their
faith. ...occult powers are being marketed within the world of toys. ...spiritual deception is affecting the Church.
(116) Exposing
Christian
Palestinianism - DVD by Caryl Productions, 7/11/13
A biblical perspective on the
relationship between Israel, the church, and the Arab world.
Some 2500 years ago, the Hebrew prophet Zechariah foretold,
"Jerusalem will be a burdensome stone for all people: and, all
the people of the earth shall be gathered together against it"
(Zechariah:12:2-3). End time biblical prophecy is unfolding
before our very eyes as the promised ingathering of a
dispersed and diverse cross-section of Jews, including
secular, atheist, agnostic, and Jewish believers in Jesus
Christ, are returning, from all over the world, to their
biblically covenanted homeland of Israel. Controversy about
the existence of the nation of Israel is intensifying not only
amongst the Arab world but within Christianity also. A
political-religious campaign is gaining worldwide acceptance
as church leaders, denominations, charities, missions, and
humanitarian groups are uniting with Muslims and other world
religions against Israel. Caryl Matrisciana narrates this
informative three-part documentary featuring Dave Hunt and
Paul Wilkinson. Each powerful program is approximately 35
minutes in length and features fast-moving, graphic footage
that exposes the rising tide of apostasy gripping today's
church regarding modern Israel.
(118) Global
Conspiracy
To STEAL The Land of Israel (DVD) by James Sundquist,
8/23/13 'Peace talks' are now getting underway whose aim is to carve a
'Palestinian State' out of Israel's ancient land, Judea, Samaria
and the Gaza Strip. God foretold this occurrence 2,600 years ago
in Joel 3:1-2, and promised physical judgments upon those people
or nations who would 'divide His land'. Confiscating the
Promised Land and what are the boundaries of the REAL Promised
Land, called 'Occupied Territories' by Muslims, are the main
subjects of this video. Some argue that the present land of
Israel does not count, that there must be a future regathering.
But this is impossible because that would make it a THIRD
REGATHERING. There is no third time for Israel. Listen: 'And it
shall come in that day that the Lord shall set His hand again
the second time to recover the remnant of His people... And I
will plant them upon their land and they shall no more be pulled
up out of their land which I have given them, saith the Lord thy
God.' (Amos 9:15) This DVD examines this conspiracy to divide
Israel's Holy Land, and discusses the final judgments and
plagues described in the Book of Revelation. Some denominations
have a position to divest from the State of Israel and even aid
the financial abilities of their enemies to dispossess them from
their land. To whom will the stolen land be restored and even
expanded? What will be the final solution for the Jews? What
about the East Bank of the Jordan? Isn't that the land that is
truly "occupied territory" by ten Muslim nations? What does
Scripture say will take place in prophecy to restore the land to
its rightful owner, the Jews, and when will this take place?
Other topics include Christian and Muslim Replacement Theology,
the war described in Psalm 83, wherein the surrounding nations
of Israel have been making merchandise of the souls of Jews for
thousands of years, and the origin of Arab peoples. Old
Testament Prophecies about the land of Israel and the New
Jerusalem will be cited, with ancient maps and prophecy maps in
the Middle East. For, behold, in those days, and in that time,
when I shall bring again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I
will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the
valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my
people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered
among the nations, and parted my land. (Joel 3:1-2; King James
Version) We shall be eyewitnesses to this incredible fulfillment
of an End Times prophecy uttered 2,600 years ago!
(119) State
of
the World - State of the Church (DVD) by Mike
Oppenheimer, 9/29/13 The world wants tolerance instead of war. The world is uniting
politically and religiously and the same influence has come over
the church. As the last days move ahead, we can see what
is developing. Are we keeping the unity of the faith or aligning
with others not of the faith. This DVD teaching has an
accompanying power point presentation with numerous video clips
showing where the church began to falter in our modern time: why
and by whose influence. Ecumenical leaders are bringing the
church into unity with Catholicism and even further unity with
other religions. The New Age movements also working with the
goal of interfaith; to have us all believe everyone's god is the
same. Arguments used such as by Gamaliel are addressed. The
sides are drawn. Either the church will influence the world or
the world will influence the church. This will not only be
educational but an encouragement for those who test the spirits
and want to defend the truth.
(120) Messages
From
Heaven (DVD) by The Berean Call, 11/7/13 A biblical examination of the apparitions of the Virgin Mary
and other supernatural activity in the end times. Reports of
paranormal and supernatural activity are on the rise worldwide.
For instance, tens of millions visit apparition sites hoping to
encounter the Virgin Mary. Many believe that these increasing
manifestations signal the advent of a new era on earth.
Thousands of messages from the apparition of Mary indicate that
we are entering a critical moment in world history - cataclysmic
changes may soon occur. Those who follow the apparitions believe
Mary has come to turn us back to God, while others insist that
these events are either fabrications or the working of Satan.
Does the Bible anticipate apparitions, signs and wonders in the
last days? Does the Word of God reveal the origin of these
phenomena? How might the apparition of Mary and other paranormal
events transform the world in the third millennium?
(121) Good
News,
Bad News (Audio) by Allistair Begg, 11/19/13 Committing to follow Jesus is not a guarantee of an easy,
trouble-free life. On the contrary, believers are to expect
unjust suffering and be prepared to respond rightly. Alistair
Begg demonstrates from Genesis 40 that the godly response is not
to give up or seek revenge, but to trust God and care for
others, even in the midst of personal struggles.

(122) "False
Converts
in the Church" and "Witnessing for the Glory of God" (DVD)
by Mike Gendron, 11/30/13 False Converts in the Church: The Lord Jesus said, �Not
everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of
heaven" Some professing Christians will hear Him say, 'I never
knew you; Depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness�� (Mat.
7:21-23). These are the most terrifying words anyone could ever
hear on judgment day. This is why all Christians are called to
examine themselves to make sure their faith is genuine (2 Cor.
13:5). Witnessing for the Glory of God: Every Christian is
called to glorify God and one of the best ways to do this is to
praise the One who called us out of darkness into His glorious
light. This message will encourage you to be a faithful witness
for the Lord Jesus Christ and help you overcome any obstacles
standing in the way. In these last days there may be nothing
more urgent or important than our obedience to the Great
Commission.
(127) Wake
Up Christians! Has The Emerging Church Movement Arrived In
Your Church? (Video) on YouTube, various contributors,
2/12/14 Many Christians may be blissfully unaware of a steady but
powerful movement that is radically deconstructing and
re-interpreting the Christian faith into something that isn't
Christianity. You may think that you and your church is immune
but think again! As well as effecting whole churches this
movement is also effecting many individuals in otherwise
biblically traditional churches through a wide range of books,
DVDs, and seminars etc. You need to educate yourself about this
and be aware.
(128) The
Need of Discernment in the last days (DVDs) by Mike
Oppenheimer, 2/26/14 We are told in the last days that false prophets will increase,
that deception will be pervasive in the world and IN THE CHURCH.
What are the New spirit movements and methods that are
consistently springing up and entering the church? Discernment
is the need of the hour for our survival and keeping the faith
of Biblical Christianity. In this video we use some of the worst
examples to show the dumbing down of the church in discernment,
resulting in deceiving the church. We will learn where and from
whom this originated in modern times. Revelations that
contradict the Bible, new books in heaven, glory services,
Dominion goals of the New apostles and prophets, people claiming
to go to heaven, prophetic interpretation of tattoos and
piercings, new age healing, drunken stupors, becoming frozen and
silent. What is passing for revelation and Bible teaching is
astounding. We need to understand what is taking place and stand
in the faith to be victorious. How do we identify it or refute
it? How can we protect ourselves and others. Discernment
is a gift that accompanies the Holy Spirit who is our umpire
that keeps us awake to distinguish truth from error. The Bible
tells us to grow in discernment, so that we can mature and help
others who are easily deceived. Being grounded in the core
doctrines of the faith and building on them makes one immune to
the many deceptions that surround us today, this is what this
video series is about. 2 DVD's, 2 hours in length
(129) Contending
for
the Faith (MP3)by Mike Gendron, 2/28/14 We are living in that period of time when the Bible says there
will be a growing apostasy. More and more people are falling
away from the faith while fewer and fewer Christians are
contending for it. Jesus confirmed the great apostasy of the end
times when he asked a profound question. "When the Son of Man
returns will he find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8). From our
Lord's rhetorical question we get an indication of how
spiritually dark the world will become as the light of the
Gospel diminishes. The greatest threat to the Christian
faith may be the apathy among most believers to contend for the
faith. There are very few courageous Christians who are willing
to fight for the truth. As the battle for the souls of men
intensifies, we can never let a lie of the devil go unabated. We
must speak the truth in love! Jude's exhortation to contend for
the faith is so applicable for the church today (Jude 3).
Attacks on the faith are coming from all over. Every Christian
needs to enlist in the Lord's army and fight the good fight of
faith. Together we can contend against false teachers,
ecumenism, compromised gospels from seeker friendly,
purpose-driven and emerging churches, the New Apostolic
Reformation, heretical books, mysticism, contemplative prayer,
myths of people going to heaven and coming back, yoga, "psycho
babel," and doctrines of demons. It is so easy for unregenerate
people to do ungodly things against the Christian faith.
However, Christians, who desire to do godly things, must be
exhorted to contend for the faith. For this reason, I offer an
important message for all of us to take a stand for truth!
(131) A
Chink In The Armor (Video) by Jacob Prasch,
4/1/14 A message from the Discernment 2001 Discernment Conference in
Hawaii from the story of Jehoshaphat and Ahab applied to many
modern church leaders. Note that this prophetic message was
given 13 years before the current situation in Calvary Chapels
following the passing of Chuck Smith. See new video by
Jacob here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4qKLKhTL8Q&feature=youtu.be

Cult
of Gnostic Christians! (MP3) by Chris Lawson,
4/4/14 "Chris Lawson � researcher/lecturer �is both an experienced
missionary and an ordained pastor. As such, he has spent much
time as a researcher, writer and counselor, helping people
escape the clutches of spiritual deception. They Talked about
the cult of Gnostic Christians."
(133) Escaping
Dangers
In The Church Today! Yoga, Reiki, the false "anointing" and
more... (MP3) by Chris Lawson, 4/11/14 Ray Gano 'Watchman on the Wall' Interview (Prophezine Radio)
with Chris Lawson (SRN) Ray and Chris discuss major root
problems confronting churches today, such as the ignorance of
Scripture, lack of discernment, lack of accountability, sensory
overload, the fear of man, Yoga, Reiki, Contemplative
Spirituality, the false "anointing" and more. Other subjects
discussed include properly defining terms, the Occult, the New
Age, and how to lovingly warn people who are involved with these
things."Thou therefore...be strong in the grace that is in
Christ Jesus." (2 Timothy 2:1)
(134) Another
Tower
of Babel? - The Coming Global Religion! (MP3) by Chris
Lawson, 4/18/14 The above message is from an old discernment seminar that I did
back in September, October and November of 1999. Although this
is an older message the Bible prophecy and discernment content
still applies today - more than ever! Back then I was
serving as a young Calvary Chapel pastor and trying my best to
equip believers with expositional Bible studies and with
biblical discernment principles. All went well until I started
exposing deception within the church.
(135) The
Age
of the Earth and the Decline of the Church (MP3) Host:
Vic Eliason, Guest: Ken Ham, 4/26/14 Ken Ham is the President, CEO and Founder of Answers in Genesis
and the highly acclaimed Creation Museum. Ken is the
author of many books on Genesis including the eye opening
'Already Gone' on why so many young people have left the church
and 'Already Compromised' that looks at Christian colleges and
how they treat the authority of the Bible. Ken joined Vic
to discuss his latest book 'Six Days: The Age of the Earth and
the Decline of the Church.' Why do so many Christians people and
even leaders resist the idea of a six-day creation? It
isn't because of what the Bible says, it's because they want to
force man's ideas into the Bible and reinterpret it which is an
undermining of biblical authority. This is rather unusual
when you consider that, as Ken noted, the Hebrew word for 'day'
is used over 2,300 times in the Old Testament yet no one
questions what it means everywhere else outside of Genesis 1.
Ken looks at this decline problem from a number of angles.
For example, one of the chapters in his book is titled, 'What is
Science?' Science simply means 'knowledge'. There's
operational/observational science that both Christians and
non-Christians have and historical science which is knowledge
about the past. The problem is, the secular world mixes
historical science with technology and calls this amalgamation
'science'. This has caused many to think that if they give
up their millions-of-years assumption they're giving up science.
(137) Roman
Catholicism today: Semper Idem Always the Same? (DVD)
by Mike Oppenheimer, 9/12/14 What are the official teachings of the Roman Catholic church,
what do they believe and practice? Scripture and tradition,
Salvation, sacramentalism, Mary devotion, the Eucharist, are
discussed from the Bibles perspective. We look at the interfaith
movement started by the Pope's and the new ecumenical revival
that the Pope Francis has brought to Charismatics and
Pentecostals through compromised teachers. We look at the
message Video and commentary are made on the recent Popes
emissary to evangelical Charismatics who have purposely ignored
what they once knew as false teachers mislead them into
acceptance of this religious system. This DVD has some shocking
clips about what Roman Catholics believe, i.e. on the eucharist
(they believe is the hope of the world) and how it will save
people in their new evangelization. What evangelicals endorse
their new evangelization. Catholics are on a mission to gain the
church�s trust and accept them as fellow Christians, or, to join
back to the church that they call the mistress of them all.
Catholics are on a mission to gain the Evangelical/ protestant
church's trust to accept them as fellow Christians, or, to join
their church that they call the mistress of them all. Can it be
proven that they are a church that promotes a false
Christianity, can one find salvation and the true gospel in the
message of their church? This is all covered in the 2 DVD set
that is nearly 2 hours long.
(138) The
gods
of the nations- the God of Israel (DVD) by Mike
Oppenheimer, 9/12/14 This 2 part DVD goes deeper into where the indigenous people
movement left off, and refutes the premise of other nations
worshiping God under different names. Covering the book of
Genesis we look at who were the obedient that worshipped God? We
examine the lineage and the knowledge passed on, as well as who
are the people that the apostle Paul addresses in Rom.1:20-28?
Who walked with God. What happened at Babel after the
flood? Who had the true and accurate knowledge of God, why did
God take Abraham out of a pagan land to form Israel? Are there
hundreds of cultures in the world who already knew or were
worshiping the one and only true supreme God? We look at
the new paradigm Don Richardson and his disciple Daniel Kikawa
introduced to the church and prove it is unbiblical. Many tribes
and cultures of the world have ancient concepts of the existence
of a �sky-god�, that go by different names. But is this the same
God that we are to worship as believers in Jesus Christ? Are
these nothing more than corrupted memories within hundreds of
tribes and cultures that were encountered by missionaries? Did
God reveal himself to these hundreds of cultures as Richardson
and Kikawa claim? Is Jesus found in other religions? Is
general revelation of God or a knowing of a supreme God in some
distant past sufficient? What is the difference of general and
direct revelation. Who are some of the people teaching to use
former supreme gods as the Father who sent the Son, Io of
Hawaii, Hananim of Korea, Shang ti of China, Allah
of Islam etc. are just some of the gods accepted by some today
as the same as YHWH: Yahweh. You will see that this is a
inclusive, universal god movement that is prophesied in the
Bible and that this could be the greatest deception the Church
has ever faced, with its goal being... to usher the entire
church into an Interfaith movement. How this
evangelization method diminishes the importance of Israel and
replace her and her role with the other nations gods. This video
will bring us to understand that we should not go by new
philosophies or current trends in anthropology but stay within
the safety of the Bible. This DVD is accompanied with power
point teaching as well as various video and audio clips. (a few
audio hiccups)
(139) Church
of
Tares: Purpose Driven, Seeker Sensitive, Church Growth &
New World Order (Video) by Elliott Nesch,
9/20/14 Can the Church borrow the marketing tools of the world and
apply them to the Church? What is the history of the Church
Growth movement and its false premises? Who is involved in the
new evangelicalism and second reformation? Why are these
movements embracing contemplative mysticism? How does this
movement play into the New World Order? These questions and more
are answered in Church of Tares: Purpose Driven,
Seeker-Sensitive, Church Growth & New World Order. Church of
Tares chronicles the man-centered pragmatism of these
evangelical Christian movements in comparison to the Bible's
instruction for building the Church of Jesus Christ. As a sequel
to The Real Roots of the Emergent Church, Church of Tares
documents the connections between the liberal Emergent Church
movement and the Church Growth movement. Both movements'
leadership were discipled by business management guru Peter
Drucker, who was attracted to the megachurch movement as a
social phenomenon that could bring about his "new society" and
New World Order. Megacurch pastors Rick Warren and Bill Hybels
as well as Leadership Network founder Bob Buford all acknowledge
Drucker (who professed not to be a Christian) as their mentor
and have built their organizations upon his secular business
management philosophies rather than the foundation of Jesus
Christ. The fruit of these movements is great compromise of the
Gospel and the Great Commission. Rick Warren claims to be
ushering in a new spiritual awakening and second reformation
with his P.E.A.C.E. Plan. But this reform appears to be a social
reformation rather than a spiritual one by joining together in
ministry with unbelievers to fight global giants. Such
compromise has led to the affirming response letter to the
Common Word document which declares Muhammad to be a prophet and
the Bible and Qur'an to be of the "same Divine origin." Written,
edited, narrated and directed by Elliott Nesch. Original

(142) The
Need
of Discernment in the last days (DVD series) by Mike
Oppenheimer, 10/18/14 We are told in the last days that false prophets will increase,
that deception will be pervasive in the world and IN THE CHURCH.
What are the New spirit movements and methods that are
consistently springing up and entering the church? Discernment
is the need of the hour for our survival and keeping the faith
of Biblical Christianity. In this video we use some of the worst
examples to show the dumbing down of the church in discernment,
resulting in deceiving the church. We will learn where and from
whom this originated in modern times. Revelations that
contradict the Bible, new books in heaven, glory services,
Dominion goals of the New apostles and prophets, people claiming
to go to heaven, prophetic interpretation of tattoos and
piercings, new age healing, drunken stupors, becoming frozen and
silent. What is passing for revelation and Bible teaching is
astounding. We need to understand what is taking place and stand
in the faith to be victorious. How do we identify it or refute
it? How can we protect ourselves and others. Discernment
is a gift that accompanies the Holy Spirit who is our umpire
that keeps us awake to distinguish truth from error. The Bible
tells us to grow in discernment, so that we can mature and help
others who are easily deceived. Being grounded in the core
doctrines of the faith and building on them makes one immune to
the many deceptions that surround us today, this is what this
video series is about.

A Discerning Christian? - New Podcast: Spiritual Maturity and
Biblical Discernment by Chris Lawson, 11/26/14 "Christian discernment begins first with salvation in Christ
(Hebrews 5:13-15), and then maturing as a believer through the
teaching of God�s Word (1 Timothy 4:1-8). As the believer grows
one ought to be able to discern between both good and evil, and
to separate from spiritual error and false teachings.
(146) Warning!
Spiritual
Deception Abounds! (MP3) by VCY America, 4/8/15
Today more than ever we seem to be bombarded with individuals
who are intentionally attempting to get people to believe lies
regarding Christianity, our Lord and Savior and His word, the
Bible. One example is Reverend John Shuck, who ministers at
Southminster Presbyterian Church in Beaverton, Oregon.
Reverend Shuck claims he doesn't believe in God yet defends his
'Christianity.' He also claims that the Bible is a human
product and that while Jesus may have been a historical figure,
most of what we know about him is legend. To Reverend
Shuck, God is a symbol of myth-making and isn't credible as a
supernatural being or force. This is just one example that
Vic presented of people today who, while standing in their
pulpits wearing their religious garb, propose ideas that have
nothing to do with the Bible. The result? A survey of more
than 4,000 adults shows that Americans are conflicted regarding
Jesus, the central figure of Christianity. The survey
showed that the idea that Jesus is God just doesn't register
well with 'millennials' (those born between 1984 and 2002). This
edition of Crosstalk also mentioned a new Bible that replaces
the name of God with that of rap star Kanye West, Vic retells
the story of The Modernist Preacher Entering Hell and callers
share their comments as well.
(147) Do
Catholics
Possess Life Eternal? (MP3) by Richard Bennett and W.
J. Mencarow, 4/9/15 In this message W. J. Mencarow and I with great sensitivity
answer this question. Because I remember the grip that
Catholicism had on my own soul for 48 years I speak with
affection for Catholics. Yet while we analyze official Catholic
teachings in the light of biblical faith an irrefutable
conclusion is reached. Catholics who listen to this message may
indeed be thankful that we have delicately pinpointed issues, of
which they had been apprehensive for a long time. Some
Evangelicals also may be thankful that we have exposed the false
ecumenical movements such as �Evangelicals and Catholics
Together� and �Christian Churches Together.� Kindly make this
MP3 known to your family and friends.
(149) Perilous
Times
and the True Purpose and Dangers of Yoga (MP3) by
Chris Lawson, 6/26/15 This past Friday I visited one of the wealthiest churches in
Newport Beach, California. With full permission from the
"Holy Yoga" instructor, I sat quietly in the back of the church
Yoga Class. I simply attended the class as an observer and I
quietly wrote down some notes. I was as transparent and
kind and respectful as possible when I arrived early and I
personally asked the instructor for permission to observe the
class. Permission was granted. I then sat as silently as is
humanly possible as an observer, sitting near the back of the
yoga class. After about 15 minutes I was told to leave. Why was
I told to leave? I was told to leave because I was "making
people feel uncomfortable." Uncomfortable? Yes, "uncomfortable."
For taking notes on "Holy Yoga", and as a Christian and former
attendee of this church? Again, I simply went to observe the
"Holy Yoga" class. Even the church website invites us to this
class - "All generations and levels of experience are welcome!"
As I sat and observed the blending of Yoga with Christianity,
and was then asked to leave the Holy Yoga class, my concerns for
the spiritual safety of the attendees was thoroughly validated -
again! (Perhaps more details on this later!)
(150) Chrislam
Exposed:
The Seductive Lie of a Common God Between Christianity and
Islam (CD) at Crosstalk, Host : Gordon Morris
Guest: Sharam Hadian, 7/15/15 Shahram Hadian was born in Iran to a Muslim family. When he was
7 years old, his family came to America to escape an oppressive
Islamic regime. He eventually experienced a transformational
life change when he committed his life to Jesus Christ. This not
only changed his destiny for eternity, it also changed his
situation with his family and Islamic culture as he immediately
began to face persecution and disapproval from his family and
from the Islamic community. He is now considered to be an
apostate and according to the dictates of the Qur�an, deserves
to be killed with no repercussions to those who might do so.
Shahram is now dedicated to reaching out and speaking out to let
people know about the deception of Islam, its true goal that
many are not aware of and the threat of Shariah which is the
heart of Islam. He spoke about these things at the VCY America
rally that took place in September. In the first of this
two-part series dealing with Islam and how it's affecting
Christianity, Shahram began by noting there is no political
correctness in the Bible, so as churches preach truth and love,
they need to define terms such as tolerance and love. This
involves discussing the truth about whether or not Christians
and Muslims worship the same God. This brings up a number of
questions that Shahram's presentation tackles: --Is the God of
the Bible the same as the Allah of Islam? --Can you be both a
Christian and a Muslim at the same time? --Should Christians be
reaching out to Muslims seeking spiritual reconciliation?
--Should Christians and Muslims be holding joint services? --Are
the Bible and the Qur�an equal? --Should we merge both religions
into one called �Chrislam�? According to Shahram, Islam denies
that Jesus is God, that he's the Son of God and that he's come
in the flesh. This is the message of an antichrist spirit.
Spreading this message is not only what Islam does, it's what
Islam was born to do and if anyone says anything different, they
are either ignorant of the ideology of Islam or they're
lying. Shahram also refutes the following points that are
foundational to �Chrislam.� --There's a common word among
Christians and Muslims. --Muslims have a common love of God and
neighbor with Christians. Order Part

(153) Fantasy
Spirutual
Warfare (DVDs) by Mike Oppenheimer, 8/23/15 This is probably the most important DVD we have done which
covers one of the most dangerous of all the false teachings in
the church, Those who claim they will, or have defeated Satan
and bring the kingdom of God to earth. This DVD contains an
overview teaching on spiritual warfare in Bible history.
We cover who is Satan, how he tempts us, the Devils strategies
of distraction and lies and the fallen angels influence over
mankind. The new age movement�s part. Who is behind plans in the
New Age Movement. The unity of universalism. Those in the church
that say the same things, who are willing to accept and
synthesize other beliefs and call it Christianity What is
practiced today as spiritual warfare. Spiritual war by
Breaking curses. Numerous clips that show what they mean by
their own words; clips of the originators of the movement and it
connection to the latter rain, and Peter Wagner who has written
and endorsed more books on this subject than anyone else. This
is the basis for the New Apostolic movements dominionist
teaching that are permeating churches (via Peter Wagner), at the
same time they are rejecting the teaching on the tribulation
period and the rapture. In it we cover the dominionist teaching
of the 7 mountain mandate of the new apostles. Video Claims of
defeating Satan by those in the new apostolic prophetic
movement. The spiritual warfare meetings that bring confusion by
demon chasers teaching others to do the same. YWAM�s involvement
from the beginning to today. What is our spiritual armor
for our protection. Where is the warfare really being fought? Is
our warfare in the heavens or on earth. Are demons running wild
and is the control for peace in the world up to the church? The
meaning of binding and loosing and the real spiritual warfare
the world is facing now and in the future. What is the most
feared thing we can counter Satan with. How to fight against the
enemy, and how not to fight. The railing against the enemy
binding and incarcerating him. Why it is important to test their
teachings and read the Bible carefully.

(158) The
President Visits a Mosque (MP3) Host: Jim Schneider
Guest: Usama Dakdok, Crosstalk America, 2/5/16 Yesterday President Obama made his first known visit during his
presidency to a U.S. mosque. In this case his visit was to the
Islamic Center of Baltimore. In attendance was the honor guard
made up of Muslim boy scouts who brought in the U.S. and
Maryland flags before leading the audience in the Pledge of
Allegiance followed by the recitation of the Qur'an. Should we
be alarmed by this or is it simply another example of the free
exercise of religion? Joining Jim to examine that question and
much more was Usama Dakdok. Usama is the founder and director of
the Straightway of Grace Ministry equipping Christians to be
effective witnesses of Jesus Christ to their Muslim neighbors,
as well as ministering to Muslims directly. Usama is Egyptian
born. He studied Islam and Islamic law since a young age. Usama
has translated the Qur'an into English. He's the speaker on the
program, 'Revealing the Truth About Islam' which airs daily on
VCY America. Jim presented information from The Daily Caller
indicating that The Islamic Center of Baltimore 'has deep
extremist ties' including the Muslim Brotherhood. It's a member
of the network of mosques controlled by the Islamic Society of
North America, a Muslim civil rights group named as the
unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terror
case. The majority of the program featured Usama responding to
numerous 'facts' from President Obama's nearly 45 minute speech
given during his visit to the Islamic Center: --Islam has a
message of peace. --Islam has roots in a commitment to
compassion, mercy, justice and charity. --Islam has always been
part of America. --Muslim-Americans are our neighbors, teachers,
doctors, scientists, and entrepreneurs. --Muslim Americans keep
us safe. They are part of our police, firefighters, homeland
security and in our intelligence community. --The overwhelming
majority of the world's Muslims embrace Islam as a source of
peace. It is undeniable that a small fraction of Muslims
propagate a perverted interpretation. --Groups like Al-Qaeda and
ISIL are not the first extremists in history to misuse --We're
all God's children; Christians, Jews and Muslims. Usama's
responses to these statements from President Obama underscore
earlier comments where Usama described how the only people that
have benefited from 9-11 are the Muslims. Why? They killed 3,000
Americans yet have become the victims of the attack while at the
same time they build large numbers of houses of worship and are
allowed into America as students and refugees in ever greater
numbers.
(160) Transgenderism
Confronts
a Nation (MP3) at VCY America, Host: Jim Schneider,
Guest: Randy Thomasson, 4/29/16 Are you aware that the so-called transgender population is
estimated to be between two and three-tenths of one percent of
our total population? In spite of this, the battle for
special rights for those calling themselves transgender is
taking the nation by storm. LGBT activist groups are
bullying private businesses, schools, as well as units of
government to force their extremist agenda down the throats of
American citizens. Joining Jim to discuss this issue was Randy
Thomasson. Randy is a veteran pro-family leader and
president of SaveCalifornia.com. Their organization stands
strong for moral virtues for the common good. This Crosstalk
began by looking at AB-1732. This is a piece of legislation in
the California legislature that would mandate that the restroom
signs and symbols that say 'men' and 'women' or 'boys' and
'girls' must come down at businesses and places of public
accommodation. This includes church schools, Christian
colleges, religious businesses, home-based businesses or
anyplace where there's a single user restroom. This means
that if passed, even California residents with at-home
businesses would be required to install a transsexual,
all-gender symbol on their bathroom door. The bill is written in
such a way that it motivates a business that is just starting or
moving, to go from offering 2 restrooms to offering only one
all-gender restroom in order to save money. In other
words, this legislation won't expand access, it may actually
limit it. Randy noted that the bill was skipped over once again
by the California Assembly. They don't have the votes yet
to pass it. Randy believes there are a dozen or more
Democrats who are reluctant to vote for this radical,
transgender legislation because they know it isn't about rights
for an individual; it's about burdening other individuals,
businesses and religious freedom. The key here is the idea
of 'places of public accommodation'. While this is only
mentioned in the California bill, it is specifically defined
under federal law under the Americans with Disabilities Act from
1990. This means that wherever there is a private entity
that affects commerce (Churches provide communities with a wide
variety of social services that come under the rubric of
'commerce'.), it means they can be a place of public
accommodation. Specifically listed in the Americans with
Disabilities Act are nurseries and educational institutions
which means that churches and church-schools will also be
affected should AB-1732 pass in California. There is no
religious exemption in this bill. Randy urged listeners from all
over the nation to call legislators in California (phone numbers
are posted on the website listed below). Jim included
headlines that prove the unsafe nature of this legislative
movement, an audio clip from a representative of the NCAA that
shows how this agenda is expanding, some national businesses
that are allowing people to use the restroom of the gender they
identify with as well as calls from Crosstalk listeners.
(164)Be
Good Bereans (Video) by Jacob Prasch, 10/6/16 Acts
17:11Now
the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in
Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness
and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was
true.
(165) Lawlessness
and
the Last Days (Audio) at Crossstalk America, Host: Jim
Schneider, Guest: Dave Benoit, 10/7/16 Dave noted that according to the Bible, in the last days,
nation will rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom
(Matthew 24). Nation means 'ethnos'. That translates to
'ethnics'. So he doesn't believe we'll see Russia against
America or Germany against France. Instead, he believes the
breakdown will be an inward or ethnic one, with division taking
place among ethnic groups so that the house won't stand (Mark
3:24-25). Jim then added that we're seeing this happen in Spain
and Germany.
(166) Schools
to
Identify Extremist Children (Audio) by VCY America,
Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Alex Newman, 11/26/16 The Obama administration is asking school teachers to start
spying on American students so that extremists can be reported
to the FBI and other law enforcement agencies. This effort has
been uncovered because of an unclassified FBI report released in
January of this year entitled, 'Preventing Violent Extremism in
Schools'.Joining Jim to discuss this important issue was Alex
Newman. Alex is an international journalist, educator and
consultant. He has a degree in journalism from the University of
Florida and has worked for numerous publications. He is the
co-author of the book 'Crimes of the Educators'. Its subtitle
is, 'How Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy
America's Children'. As a freelance journalist he writes for the
New American. This show centered around his article titled,
'Feds Enlist Schools in War on 'Extremist' Children'. According
to Alex, for years the Obama administration has been involved in
'countering violent extremism'. The Organization of the Islamic
Conference's alliance of 57 Muslim governments and dictatorships
actually originated this phrase. The Obama administration uses
it to imply that terrorism and ISIS are being fought but just
beneath the surface you can see that the FBI's report is a net
that is being cast over a much larger area than just Islamic
terrorism. For example, Alex noted that the report indicates the
FBI is looking for people who have biases against others of
different sexual orientations. In other words, if someone has
anti-government views and therefore believes the government
should follow the Constitution, feel the federal government
shouldn't be recruiting school teachers to spy on children, or
that abortion is immoral, such individuals would be labeled as
extreme. Jim read from the FBI report where it says, '...to
those maintaining biases toward others due to their race,
religion or sexual orientation'. So if someone doesn't agree
with same-sex marriage or the homosexual lifestyle or if someone
takes exception to Islam being taught in schools, people holding
such 'biases' would also be lumped in with those involved with
Hamas, Al-Qaeda and ISIS. Alex went on to describe how
propaganda is also targeted. Propaganda, good or bad, is free
speech and speech, by definition, is not violent. So now we have
the U.S. government wanting to crack down on children allegedly
engaged in violent propaganda. This strikes against the First
Amendment and Alex indicated that the federal government has no
right to police the speech of individuals. The document also
talks about enhancing student's social and emotional well-being.
This refers to sending in psychiatrists and psychologists to
begin labeling students with views that the government disagrees
with. This is already happening in the UK where people who
disagree with homosexual marriage are considered to have a
mental disorder. Alex believes this paints a troubling picture
and is part of the federal government's increasing role in child
rearing at the expense of parental rights. What right does the
government have that allows them to measure the facial
expressions, emotions, well-being and political opinions of
children, their resistance to change, along with the beliefs of
their parents? While this is currently in the testing phase,
unless it's stopped, this information will be collected at the
state level to be housed in federal databases at the Department
of Education, the Department of Labor and the Department of
Health and Human Services.

(172) A
Pastor Discusses the History of Israel and Why Christians
Should Care About Israel and the Jews (Video) by Brett
Meador, 7/2/17 The following talk by Oregon pastor Brett Meador (from 2013)
will be very helpful in understanding the biblical view of
Israel and the Jews. Because anti-Semitism and replacement
theology are becoming more and more prevalent within the church,
it’s important to have a good understanding of this issue. We
think this talk will help.
(180) Is
the
Occult Invasion a sign of the end times? (Audio) by
Dave Hunt & Tom McMahon, 11/13/17 Welcome to our ongoing discussion of Dave Hunt’s book Occult
Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and Church. The
Bible is very clear that there will come a time when the entire
world will submit to a world leader, one who will be empowered
by occult abilities (powers, lying signs and wonders) for the
purpose of deceiving the masses and subjecting them to his
absolute control. Second Thessalonians 2 and other scriptures
lay this out quite clearly. But this doesn’t happen overnight;
there has to be some preparation, and that’s what your book
addresses. You’re simply documenting the preparation that’s been
taking place, and today we’re going to talk about this
preparation with regard to the occult seduction of our youth.
But I think it might be helpful if we provide our listeners with
some biblical background for understanding what’s taking place.
Dave, for the sake of some of our listeners who aren’t that
familiar with the Bible, can you give a brief summary of what
the Scriptures say concerning the rise of Antichrist?

(188) Four
Tales
of the supernatural from William Branham (DVD) by Mike
Oppenheimer, 4/8/19 This DVD covers 4 supernatural events in William Branham’s
life. He had many supernatural experiences such as a cross of
light saving him in his shed, but there are 4 specific events
that shaped his ministry, that he is famous for: 1. His birth:
where a circular halo came into his room at dawn, at his birth.
2. His Commission to be Elijah: when baptizing a bright
light suddenly appeared over his head and he heard a voice
speak, “As John the Baptist was sent to forerun the first coming
of Jesus Christ, so are you sent to forerun His second coming!”
3. Years later he claimed he was visited by The Angel of the
Lord who came to commissioned him his gift: a man came out of a
light telling him “As the prophet Moses was given two gifts,
signs to vindicate his ministry, so will you be given two.” 4.
His revelation to be the 7th angel of the church. His teaching
on 7 messengers to the 7 ages in church history. 7 angels came
to him and had him open the 7 seals. Everyone of these stories
has flaws and questionable and contradictory biblical
correlations, these are all refuted. This Video takes you
through by PP and audio quotes showing what Branham actually
taught on these matters. This should take away anyone's doubt
that Branham was a false teacher of the word.
(193) Revival
or
Revivalism (DVD) by Mike Oppenheimer, 10/21/19 Where did the new revivals originate from, what were they
teaching? How did it progress? Who are the main people involved
today? There are some issues that we need to discuss that are
not pleasant. What I’m referring to is the what is known as the
signs and wonders movement that has brought a new revivalism to
be ingrained in the church. It started with none other than
Benny Hinn, through Rodney Browne, to Toronto, to Brownsville to
Todd Bentley to the New Apostolic reformation of Peter Wagner by
the prophets. But we can go even further back and find these
same concepts from the Latter Rain and William Branham. Drunk in
the spirit as a Pentecostal experience, falling, shaking,
numbness, dumbness all are manifestations of this new anointing.
This is probably the most important video you can see, protect
yourself and your church knowing what these men believe and want
to achieve. The background of many of those involved and
supporting this revivalism is word faith prosperity teachers. We
take a journey from the launching of laughter to today's fire
anointing/baptism. There is a difference between a God sent
revival under the preaching of the word and a man made
revivalism focused on supernatural experiences. These
experiences promoted by these revivalists are not taught in
Scripture for the believer From Toronto to the Send (Lou Engle's
new ministry) we Trace the current revivalism in the church and
its roots. lots of video clips. Clips are put side by side of
the gurus and other religious practices with the modern revival
to show the similarities and show the source of the power.

(195) Indoctrinating
The
Masses (Video) by Jacob Prasch, Moriel TV, 11/21/19 What are the signs and symptoms of indoctrination in today's
society? In this video Jacob Prasch addresses how school, media,
and culture are used to perpetuate a narrative and how those
things will ultimately be used to set the stage for the advent
of the antichrist and false prophet as spoken of in the book of
Revelation.
(196) Letting Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling
“Jesus” Speak for Himself! (Video) by Chris Lawson,
4/3/20 Christian sounding devotional
books with striking similarities to psychic-medium channeled
material? New Age/New Spirituality/occult concepts and
buzzwords? Blasphemous names, titles, and self-descriptions from
a counterfeit “Christ”—in relation to himself? Messages from
Sarah Young’s “Jesus” that wants his readers to experience his
“Presence” and go through lengthy and intensive “training” so
that readers can eventually “channel throughout the day”? Yes
indeed! All this and much more can be found in the ‘Jesus
Calling’ Brand devotional book series. Take a look at some
incredible documents that reveal extensively the ‘Jesus Calling’
“Presence” and Sarah Young’s claim of what “inspired” her to
begin “with pen in hand,” writing down what her “Jesus” guide
told her.

of the Scriptures instead of looking at the Scriptures in light
of the events.
(199) FIRST SEAL?-10 Toes of Daniel 2
by James Jacob Prasch, @ VOTV, 5/20/20 Are we about to witness the
opening of the first seal? Are we about to be able to identify
the ten tows of Daniel 2? Jacob Prasch, talking via
videoconference to Voice of the Voiceless aproaches these
issues.
(200) ANTICHRIST & COVER UP (Video)
by James Jacob Prasch, 5/24/20 The spirit of Antichrist is at
work today, but what to do when we find out it is working from
within the ranks of the church? We see some examples of
the way the enemy is covering up his infiltration in today's
supposedly evangelical characters and the attacks and heresies
they teach and support.
(202) Synagogues of Satan (Audio)
by James Jacob Prasch, 6/23/20 This is one of Jacob’s older
teachings, Synagogues of Satan. Published on Oct 27, 2016 This
message is an in-depth study of the phrase Synagogue of Satan
found in Revelation 2 & 3. Also looking at the underlying
Greek words finding some surprising facts. Some of you may not
be familiar with Moriel Ministries, so I will take a few minutes
to explain one of the things that we do. We try to help
Christians to understand the Bible in its original context of
the first century Church, which was established by the Lord
through Jewish Christians. We try to read the Bible the same way
the early Jewish church would have read it. There have been
others who have tried to do that through the centuries, with
varying degrees of success most notably the Plymouth Brethren.
We believe it to be important in the Last Days to understand how
to interpret the Bible in the way the first century Church did.

by Jacob Prasch, 7/27/20 As we await the dawn of the
antichrist before the return of Jesus, Satan already has the
false church. who never had the truth. He also has the apostate
church, that abandoned the truth. Now he is aiming for the
elect.

(207) Unmasking Other Jesuses
by David Lister, 8/1/20
"The Great Mystery" PDF document, 1863:
https://books.google.com/books?id=2zY...
General points on evangelism:
-All evangelism starts with prayer and love
-Pull the mask off of the false Christ
-Show great patience with family members
- Listen and ask questions so that people understand that you care
for them
In witnessing to Mormons:
-Untangle the terminology (e.g. "grace", "repentance", "sin",
etc.)
-Show the difference between the real Jesus of scripture and the
Morman "jesus" who is the spirit brother of Lucifer and is not
God.
In witnessing to Roman Catholics:
-Show contradictions between the Roman Catholic Catechism and the
Bible
-Show that the "jesus"of Roman Catholicism is an "insufficient"
savior (they need their version of jesus plus other things to be
saved) vs. the Jesus of scripture who is the complete sacrifice
for sin
In witnessing to Jews
-Use the concept of a plural oneness to understand the
triunitarian nature of God
-Expose the "Metatron" of the Talmud as a different Jesus and show
how many of the divine attributes they attribute to the "Metatron"
actually describe Jesus the Messiah.
-Show how Jesus fulfills the Messianic prophecies (e.g. pardons
sin, is to be obeyed, etc.)
-Show how elements of the Passover Seder such as the Afikoman
matzo and 3-compartment bag are pictures of a triune God and Jesus
as the One who was broken for our sin
(208) If I be lifted up from the earth
(Video) by James Jacob Prasch, 8/20/20 Jacob looks at this important
scripture from John 12-32 and shows the confused and assumed
understanding today, is misguided and incorrect. He
establishes the concept of two independent but related meanings
for this scripture and confirms the modern understanding as a
metaphor for worship is incorrect, albeit well-intended.
What does "If I be Lifted up" mean? Jacob Prasch will discuss
the meaning of this wonderful teaching from our Lord. Find out
when Moriel releases their newest video. Moriel TV is
active in the area of discernment withstanding the popular
apostasy in the contemporary church that The Word of God warns
would precede the return of Jesus. We remain firmly aligned to
the conviction that contemporary events in The Middle East,
Europe, and in the church make the present time in history
different from other eras when people thought it was the last
days. We affirm the belief that Jesus is coming again and the
prophecy of His return is radically being fulfilled
increasingly.
(210) Beginning of Birth Pangs (Video)
by Jacob Prasch, 9/8/20 Jacob looks at world events
including 911, recent wars, COVID 19 China, the economic crash,
earthquakes, political events and technology, and how the church
is involved and our role in it. He establishes what scripture
says regards these events, the reality of the situation compared
to modern teaching and acceptance. This is a very important
teaching, that is not just timely and relevant, it confirms we
are not yet in the tribulation but shows God's grace with the
warnings we have seen so far, declaring things will only get
worse. with short spells of relative normality. Just as you
would expect with a mother on labor pains.
(211) Revival or Revivalism (Video)

In The Truth - Mike Oppenheimer (Video) at The Berean

adding to the word, and bad interpretation replace the truth. Let
us discern what is foreign to Scripture and walk by the truth. Let
us be bold and courageous in these last days. Psalm:27:14 states,
“Wait on the Lord. Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen
your heart. Wait on the Lord.” Until He comes, may God's grace be
with all of you as you do His work.

(231) Isaiah
55 - Living water (DVD) by Mike Oppenheimer, 5/31/23
Isaiah in chapter 55 gives an evangelistic invitation to the world
to come to waters of life whom we know is the Messiah Jesus. for
only he can quench our spiritual thirst, and he offers it for
free. Instead many drink from broken cisterns that hold no water
and their growth and faith is either hindered or destroyed. This
is bible based evangelistic teaching, an encourage to go to Jesus
being the water of life (the bread of life) who alone can satisfy
the soul. For faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the
word of God. God's nature and ways are revealed by the prophet as
He sent His Word to heal us, it is like water to our dying of
thirst. The prophet proclaims Everyone who thirsts, Come to the
waters. Water is the main symbol for the word throughout the
Scripture. It is also what Jesus offered The prophet says for God,
Incline your ear, and come to Me. Hear, and your soul shall live,
as Jesus said come unto me and that whoever drinks of the water
that I shall give him will never thirst.

through Mt.24 and what is relative to the culture and the world
changing, in morality, compassion and in technology. These are

of judgment upon a rebellious world. What will the world will be

(234)Short
and simple questions for witnessing (DVD) by Mike
Oppenheimer, 4/24/24
Is there a better way to give witness to Christ to those who are
atheists and those who do not know him and practice religion? We
live in a day where many believe there are different faiths and
they all are of equal value. We also live in a time where many
make up their own religion or have none, claiming to be an
atheist. I have found it is easier to present Christ and the
scriptures truth by keeping it simple and short, discussing the
main points of their contention. Each belief system has its strong
and weak points we can address. What we need to do is stay on
topic and avoid having a religious discussion, but address the
flaws they have and give both logical and biblical answers. This
does not take long to do, 5- 10 minutes is all one needs to know
if the person is ready to respond to the Bible or not. If they do
not respond to the main points you convey, they will not respond
to the smaller points. We can avoid long and unnecessary
discussions that only take up your time and prevent the message
that saves from being explained. Asking the right questions goes a
long way, showing that working to please God and God's gift of
grace are two very different systems to live by. This DVD will
help equip you in some answers, prompt you to think of a different
ways to outreach to those around you that are friends, or at the
workplace.
(235) The
New Age Movement of today (DVD) by Let Us Reason
Ministries, 5/5/24
Most people think the New Age Movement has gone into obscurity,
but it is more popular than ever before. It is no longer seen as
fringe beliefs but is mainstream. The fact is the church has
its doors open to the new age movement, many of it teachers
unknowingly and some knowingly have adopted and promote its
practices. How? By accepting new age concepts and practices
without knowing what they really are. In this DVD set we cover the
basics. Starting with Mike's testimony of coming to Christ from
being involved in the new age movement. The Aquarian Conspiracy
written by Marilyn Furgueson that began with Helena Blavatsky,
Alice Baily and Pierre Tielhard de Chardin, which is what we
are now seeing come to fruition through its promoters like Oprah,
Tolle, Dyer, Walsch and so many others. What are the New age
energies being used to heal? yoga, karma, the Jesus of the
gurus. False spiritual masters of the hierarchy, spirit
guides, channeling and UFO's are all covered and exposed. A
copious amount of videos with Power point accompany their
quotes and explanations. This video also covers the most
susceptible and vulnerable of all, the children who are being
influenced greatly into new age practices by the books they read.
Parents need to be more aware than ever what they are purchasing
from online bookstores and what is happening at their schools.
Probably the most dangerous part of this movement is the use of "I
am" decreeing and chanting Gods holy name as yourself. We are in
the midst of a worldwide Occult revival, learn how to recognize
what is taking place and protect yourself and loved ones from this
movements influence.

Reverse Paradigm Shift by Sandy Simpson
We live in a topsy-turvy
world of opposing ideas.It is easy to get lost and overwhelmed.We as Christians often don’t realize how much we
have been diapraxed by the world, the flesh and the devil.Our paradigm has
been altered to such a degree that, without the solid
foundation of Scripture, we are often set adrift without
the anchor God has provided us.Our paradigm is our worldview, our understanding
of reality.Without
the guidance of the Holy Spirit and the written eternal
Word, we really have no hope of understanding reality, our
cultures, or our lives.I have written this book to clue the reader into
some of the issues that surround the modern born-again
believer and how to reverse the shift that has
exponentially changed our perspective in some cases.Fortunately, in
the foreknowledge of our Lord, He provided us with a
roadmap to navigate our fallen world.We don’t need a new map, as Emergent Church
advocates claim.We
need the tried and true map of the ages.There is “nothing new under the sun”.There have always been false prophets and false
teachers who are there by the will of the enemy to mislead
and ultimately destroy the faith of many.We are clearly living in the Apostasy foretold in
the Bible that has been growing preceding the appearance
of the Antichrist.We
need to carefully test ourselves to be sure we are in the
Faith, and then hold on to the hope we have in Christ.
