Chuck Pierce Invites Christians To "The Banqueting Table"
by Sandy Simpson, 12/17/13
Chuck Pierce, the new head false apostle of the New Apostolic Reformation,
formerly under false apostle C. Peter Wagner, has just announced on the
ElijahList that he wants to "invite each of you to COME TO THE BANQUETING
TABLE on January 2-5, 2014 at the Global Spheres Center in Corinth, Texas!"
This is a call for people to sign up for yet another conference of false
apostles and false prophets, but the ad sounds like he is inviting people
to the "Marriage Supper Of The Lamb". You may find that idea absurd
until you listen to these people "declaring" things "from the heavenlies".
In another December 16, 2013 issue of ElijahList Pierce states that they
are going to "Rend the Heavens and Let Prophetic Revelation Fall!"
These people are so deluded that they think they are in the place of God.
But when I saw that Pierce is inviting people to this "banqueting table",
which always includes "slain in the spirit", false prophecy and lying declarations,
I was reminded of the following passage:
2 Peter 2:1-3, 10-15 & 17-21 But there were also
false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among
you. They will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even
denying the sovereign Lord who bought them—bringing swift destruction on
themselves. Many will follow their depraved conduct and will bring the
way of truth into disrepute. In their greed these teachers will
exploit you with fabricated stories. Their condemnation has long been
hanging over them, and their destruction has not been sleeping. ... Bold
and arrogant, they are not afraid to heap abuse on celestial beings;
yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful, do not heap
abuse on such beings when bringing judgment on them from the Lord. But
these people blaspheme in matters they do not understand. They are
like unreasoning animals, creatures of instinct, born only to be caught
and destroyed, and like animals they too will perish. They will be paid
back with harm for the harm they have done. Their idea of pleasure is
to carouse in broad daylight. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in
their pleasures while they feast with you. With eyes full of
adultery, they never stop sinning; they seduce the unstable; they are
experts in greed—an accursed brood! They have left the straight way
and wandered off to follow the way of Balaam son of Bezer, who loved the
wages of wickedness. ... These people are springs without water and mists
driven by a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they
mouth empty, boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of
the flesh, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live
in error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of
depravity—for “people are slaves to whatever has mastered them.” If
they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and are overcome, they are worse
off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better
for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known
it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on
to them.
What "sacred command" is Peter talking about? That is to believe
on the Lord Jesus Christ and commit to obeying His precepts. A few
of those are listed in the fruits of the Spirit, one of which is self-control.
"Slain in the spirit" is an occult method to get people out of self-control
and under the control of another spirit. Be care of "feasting" with
these people who are "carousing in broad daylight" and doing everything
Peter talked about in the above passage.
