TO GO FORWARD, WE MUST GO BACK!

We continue from yesterday’s blog with regards to Neale Donald Walsh and his findings as a follower of the New Age movement.

During Walsh’s conversations with his god he gleaned what I will encapsulate today into seven major points.  Walsh’s “god” had talked to other New Age thinkers down through the ages so I don’t want you to think that Walsh has some unique relationship with who he claims, as others have claimed, is the true God.  A couple of those other people, and I will keep it at two for the sake of time and sanity, were Helen Schucman and Barbara Marx Hubbard.  Barbara Marx Hubbard’s god spoke to her during meditation and asked her to take dictation from him for some books that must be written to mankind to set their thinking straight.  After nearly succumbing to insanity Ms. Hubbard went on to take dictation for this god for over thirty years.  You will see that the common points I will lay out here are present in most if not all New Age writings.  The extent of the information given by New Age authors seems to vary only in the author’s depth of ability and desire to give in to these seducing spirits.  I have never really checked it out, but it seems to me that women are the main target of this “god”.  Just as Eve in the Garden of Eden, this trend continues.  It gives a whole new meaning to “I am Woman, hear me roar.”  However, as you will see, this insanity has crept into the modern day church and it is growing as we speak and daily many educated Christians fall to these seducing spirits.  And some of these wonderful, dear, Christians actually become a vital part of unknowingly (we pray) passing this seduction along to other Christians.  So please continue to read our blog to make sure you don’t in the future or have not already fallen prey to these seducing spirits.  1 Timothy 4:1 (KJV)
¹ Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;

Point 1:  Man is God. God is man.  They are interwoven.

Point 2:  The New Age GOSPEL is from “god” and it is not the old Christian Gospel.

Point 3:  There is no such thing as the Ten Commandments.

(Another interesting side note here is that Walsh’s god spent quite some time with Walsh speaking of and defending Hitler during their conversations.  To condense it, Walsh’s god stated that Hitler was more of a savior than an evil man.  He did not cause suffering for the Jews, but instead ended the suffering of those Jews in the camps. ???)

Point 4:  Everyone will experience the greatest freedom, peace, joy, and love at death and no one will be judged or punished for simply being human. (there seems to be a bit of ambiguity here…the New Age says we are all God…so how do we not get judged for simply being human?!)  No matter how barbaric we behave while here, it doesn’t matter in the end.  However, Walsh’s god does point out that he is not pleased with humans killing other humans. More of this type of bizarre logic is stated in a book written by Barbara Marx Hubbard called “The Revelation”.  In this book her “jesus” dictated that there would be a “selection process” that will result in a second death of any and all that refuse to subscribe to his New Age Gospel.

Point 5:  As god, humanity rules the earth at will and makes all the rules and sets up governments at will.  And if they decide to change the rules, it is fine because they are all god and therefore god approves.  Man does not need rules.  (How anyone can fail to see through this one is almost comical!)

Point 6:  Walsh’s god told him that since the beginning of time, mankind has been taught that it was created by God.  This god says that the opposite is true.  Mankind is creating God.  Therefore, mankind must act, think, and speak like the god they are.  Man is continually creating his own destiny.  Walsh’s god teaches that mankind does this through “Conscious Evolution”.  The New Age Gospel teaches that this is the process of mankind consciously exercising it’s authority as God. (blasphemy)  Coincidentally, this is the name of another Barbara Marx Hubbard book.

 Point 7:  Walsh’s god goes on to say that his “SPECIES” has just now arrived at the point of conscious evolution.  (Two things leap out at me here.  First of all in the writings of Barbara Marx Hubbard written decades ago, this god told her that mankind had just then arrived at the point of conscious evolution.  The second thing that leaps off the page is that we have just seen how Walsh’s god has told him he was God, and yet now refers to Walsh’s kind as a “species”.  So what is it…God or species???)  Walsh’s god tells that god…okay…once again….does he mean god or man or both?  Anyway, god is indirectly critical of Bible Believing Christians who preach sin, the sin nature, and that man is not God.  Walsh’s god makes it clear that the only real sin is for mankind to continue to deny that it is God.  He goes on to say that the only real devil or “Satan” are those who preach the difference between God and man and it will only be after all these “Bible and Jesus freaks” (my words here as this is how we are truly referred to by many New Agers) are gone or have come to the conscious evolution, will the world be saved from ultimate ruin and destruction. 

Some other day I will make a list of World Leaders that follow and employ the New Age in the guise of the New World Order.  The list will shock some of you, but rest assured, it is real and thriving.  Dave and I firmly believe that when our blessed Rapture happens, the New Age movement, and the Anti-Christ in particular will take credit for our disappearance! 

We believe that this “god” of Walsh and Hubbard and countless others is none other than the Father of Lies himself!  Since his victory in the Garden of Eden he has been fueled by mans gullibility and continues his crusade to bring mankind down at any cost.  Satan has never ceased and continues to thrive as long as there are those who respond to his “whisperings”.  Our coming blogs will show how these “whispers” have permeated the one, true, perfect, and eternal teachings of the Living God as impossible as that seems.  Please remember the things pointed out in this blog as you will see how these lies keep coming up in some Christian teachings, or how the teachers themselves have fallen prey to these seducing spirits.  And because of their reputations in certain charismatic circles, many have followed and bought these heresies with ease.  This is the great Omega Church Deception we speak of.

A LITTLE BACKGROUND

 2 Timothy 4:3-4 (KJV)

³ For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
⁴ And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Today I am giving you some information about a guy named Neale Donald Walsh and this information is found in a marvelous book written by Warren B. Smith, called “False Christ Coming Does Anybody Care?”  As I read this book and others that I will acquaint you with over the coming weeks, I was taken back to the 70’s and my personal search for anything other than “religion” that had failed me on a monumental scale since childhood under the guidance of the Catholic Church system.  I fell into the clutches of the most dangerous thing that I ever exposed my soul to, and that was the “New Age” teachings.  The Catholic Church who are teachers of catechism and not necessarily the true and complete Word of God leave their members perilously perched on a cliff of damnation with their teaching of “religion” and tradition and not the true message of the Cross.  So I went into my search totally unarmed with the true Word of God.  However, I did have, by the grace of God, enough information about Christ, to allow me to see that what the New Age had to offer was nothing more than what I referred to as a “rip-off” of what I understood at the time of the teachings of Christ.  I felt let down again and so I dug deeper and deeper.  Reading endless books and attending endless New Age Seminars and Unity churches.  Nothing was giving me what I was searching for.  I was clearly drawing from the wrong well.  Hours of meditation led me to what I felt at the time was a “divine” contact in the Spirit realm.  I learned that these spirits will woo you and sooth you and give you a sense of love and understanding so you think that you have found what you are seeking.  But I learned quickly that these spirits do not tolerate debate and the rage and physical manifestations that I was met with were so frightening that I ran as fast as I could from everything “New Age”.  I was a wounded soul and yet not a puppet.  The anger that I carried from my youth put a steel wall around me at all times and I never let anyone close to me.  I thank God for this wall as I know that it saved me from loosing my eternal soul.  I wanted to give you that brief background on myself so some will not say that I know nothing about the New Age and therefore am not able to write of it for lack of knowledge.

Neal Donald Walsh wrote a book called “Conversations with God”.  This book was published in 1995.  It seems that Mr. Walsh sat one night and wrote an angry letter to God.  Much to Mr. Walsh’s surprise, God (the entity that Walsh assumed was God) answered him with what Walsh referred to as an “inner voice”.  Over time Walsh and “his god” become everyday pals and together dismantled biblical Christianity. 

Tomorrow I will draw a parallel between the delusional ravings of Walsh and the teachings of the Dominionists.  The similarities will chill you.

STUNNED!!!

When Dave and I agreed that it was time to depart the road most traveled here in south central Texas, we were stunned at the depth of the deception at work here.  How can seemingly intelligent Christians not be even the slightest bit curious as to why the Scripture they are hearing, is close to, but in no way correct in the context it is being preached?  Or is the sad truth that we have become “silly heads” so consumed with our everyday lives here on this very temporary Earth, that we entrust our very souls and spirits, our most precious cargo for eternity, to anyone who calls him or herself an Apostle or Prophet or Pastor?  Who has educated them?  And what does that esteemed body who taught them, teach or believe?  And is what these people preach truth and line up with scripture?  It amazes me that we are all so “green” lately.  Doing what is good for the “planet”.  We have gone through the myriad of horror stories of what will happen to us if we eat certain foods, drink certain water, and what we drink it from.  And how we stock up with the latest vitamins, creams, lotions, potions and pills and drinks and exotic fruits to keep these dying slabs of meat we live in temporarily while here on this earth, in good health!  Oh, and let’s not forget the mountains, oh pardon me, pyramids of money to be made at the same time.  I am all for taking care of the temple of the Holy Spirit, however, I have never heard even one moment of concern for this precious cargo when attending a “Newly discovered miracle berry!” seminar.  It is all for and strictly of the flesh and of the wallet.  And yet when it comes to where we pray and tithe and worship, and are spiritually fed, we are totally trusting!!  The price for getting this wrong is far more reaching in scale and in severity than the choice of a berry!  Remember our dear Jesus’ words,   

Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV)
²² Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
²³ And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
 

Imagine standing before Him with your mouth full of scripture you know nothing about and a bottle of your church’s exotic health juice under your arm and hearing those words from Him.  The terror that fills my soul at the thought of that makes me move on quickly.

I know some people that can recite scripture on demand.  I know people that do it when not on demand and in fact will do it every time you open your mouth as a means to chastise you for your comment during a casual conversation.  And yet, they show their ignorance as it is out of context and at times, totally erroneous.   And it is folks just like these that sit in the pews week after week and unknowingly abet the false prophets as they weave their private agendas.  Scripture preached interwoven with lies and error is DEATH.  I am willing to bet that not one of the folks that we sat next to in church has any idea what is really the goal of their leaders and their leaders in turn.  The truth is I don’t think they care!  They are cleverly pitted one against the other in an intra-church popularity contest that totally distracts them from what is truly going on.  And they sit there, vying for the attention of “the chosen ones” of the hierarchy of the church instead of protecting their very souls and spirits.  We only get one shot at this people.  And if you get this one wrong…it will cost you your eternity with the Father.  You better decide what you believe, what it is based on, and if it is truth that lines up with the “Holy Spirit” inspired truth and infallibility of the WORD of GOD.  Isn’t it time that you quit playing Christian and playing church?  Isn’t it time you invested time and study of the Word in yourself?  You better know where you are being lead and by whom!!! 

We serve the King of the universe.  He sent His Son to atone for our sins and thereby giving us back our contact with our Heavenly Father!!  Any man or woman that would put their own interpretation of the Holy and true Word of God is a fool.  For them to preach anything other than the Word as it is written, is for a self motivated reason for some foolish and personal gain whether real or imagined for them.  So ask yourselves today.  Are your really following the King or just a Fool that claims to be of His court?  You better get this one right.  Your ETERNAL life depends on it!!

Last lecture…I promise.  From now on I will offer you proof positive of the number of Fools out there vying for your souls.  Now if they are not serving THE King…who are they really serving and do you want to be part of that unholy and already damned crowd?  If the Word they are getting is not from the Holy Spirit, then what spirit are they listening to.  Remember, it can cost you your eternal soul if you get this one wrong.  Eternity is really a long time.

THE RAMP

It always amazes me how the Holy Spirit works in our lives.  Last night about supper time I had no idea that I would be writing about this ministry called "The Ramp".   Patti still gets the Dutch Sheets newsletter.  (She only gets it in order to keep abreast of what these people are up to.)   If you haven't heard of Dutch Sheets, he is one of the regulars on the so-called Elijah List.  It's a group of people who consider themselves movers and shakers of the modern church, and apostolic movement.  I have had dealings with more than one person here in central Texas that wanted their book to be listed with them, or have one of their written articles appear on their site.  This Bible verse from Galations comes to mind when I think of these people and their desire to please their peers, and to receive accolades from them. Galatians 1:10 (KJV) ¹⁰ For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.  In his newsletter he mentions their ministry move to Hamilton, Alabama.  One of the reasons he gave, was "One of the hubs of this awakening has become The Ramp, a ministry located here in Hamilton. Thousands of young people come here every month to drink of this outpouring and return home as carriers of the fire. An internship/school has also evolved from this. I am already an apostolic voice to The Ramp and speak for their gatherings several times each year."  I had never heard of this, so I do a Dogpile search, and the top two hits are of this ministry.  Karen Wheaton, is the head of this ministry.  From their "About" page I get this.   "Our mission is to awaken a generation out of spiritual death and religious complacency, calling them to their individual purpose and corporate responsibility as an offensive army imposing the kingdom of God."  I was cruising the channels late last night, and on Daystar, I come across "The Ramp".  I tune in, and I tell you, I may be old, but I'm not that old.  When I was young I was into Pink Floyd, Grand Funk and Led Zepplin.  The band  was doing some kind of song, I'm not sure if they mentioned Jesus or not in the song, as you couldn't make out the lyrics.  Kids were jumping up and down, and dancing to the music.  It's what I call "headbanger" music.  The ushers or maybe a better word would be "bouncers" on stage were dressed in black t-shirts and camouflaged pants.   Anyway, a guy by the name of Damon Thompson, dressed like a street person starts his message.   This scripture came to mind when he started to speak.   2 Corinthians 6:17 (KJV) ¹⁷ Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,   He is not my idea of a role model for our youth.  One part of the message he talks about Daniels friends in the furnace, and says that Nebuchadnezzar looks in the furnace and sees the fourth man, and he looked like the Son of God.  He goes on to claim that we, as Christians can bring Christ to us.  He actually said we could summon Jesus to us when we needed him.  My Bible says the Holy Spirit is the Comforter.  (Jn 14:16, 15:26, 16:7)

This ministry has targeted young people to be indoctrinated into the Dominionist movement.  They are teaching them to be "an offensive army imposing the kingdom of God".   And not about accepting Jesus as their Lord and Savior, or teaching the finished work of Jesus at Calvary.  Dominionists like to use the term "Joels Army".  If you read chapter 2 of Joel, they take this as a literal army, not a supernatural one, that will create the kingdom of God here on earth, so that Christ can then come.  They will compel (force) people to become Christian.   They have raised themselves up to be mini-gods.  They are to create the kingdom, and then they will tell Christ when he can come back.  How blasphemous is that? 

Finis Dake in his Annotated Reference Bible gives Seven Proofs why this army in Joel is a supernatural army, not one made up of mortal men.

Seven Proofs that These People Are Supernatural

1. There have never before been any like them appearing on earth before (Joel 2:2).

2. Nor will there be any like them again for many generations -- until the end of the Millennium when Satan and his angels and demons will appear on earth in an effort to take it over, at which time God will send this army of heaven against them (Joel 2:2; Isa. 24:22; Rev. 20:7-10).

3. A fire will devour before them (Joel 2:3; Ezek. 38:17-21; 2Th. 1:7-10).

4. They will be riding horses or be in chariots (Joel 2:4). This is pictured several times of God's army (2Ki. 2:11-12; 6:16-19; Zech. 1:7-11; 6:1-8; Rev. 19:11,14,21).

5. They will not be hurt even if they fall upon a sword (Joel 2:8).

6. Different from men, they are able to climb walls; they will climb upon the houses and enter into the windows like a thief (Joel 2:9).

7. They are the Lord's army and He will be leading them personally (Joel 2:11). His army is definitely spoken of as being all the holy angels and the resurrected saints from heaven (Zech. 14:4-5; Mt. 16:27; 24:31; 25:31; 2Th. 1:7-10; Jude 1:14-15; Rev. 19:11-21).

Joels Army will be taken up in another blog, because the material is so extensive, it may take more than one blog to cover it all..... Dave & Patti.

THE FATHERS OF DOMINIONISM, AND THEY ARE MANY!

We are going to quote these men and women from articles and books written by them or excerpts from interviews with these people.  You truly need to get acquainted with the people that come to your churches and smile at you from the pulpit as they lead you down a dangerous path that leads to damnation.  Quite remarkably, these words are used by these people to as they try to push their personal agenda of man and the flesh.

“The belief that we (mankind) have a mandate to build the Kingdom of God ON EARTH, RESTORING PARADISE, by progressively and supernaturally transforming ourselves and all societal institutions, through subduing and ruling the earth BY WHATEVER MEANS POSSIBLE, including technology, science, and PSYCHO-SOCIAL ENGINEERING;  and then and only then will Christ manifest Himself on Earth.”  From Al Dager in his book VENGEANCE IS OURS; the church in Dominion (Sword 1990) lists two other definitions of Dominionism:

“A basic premise of dominion theology is that when Adam sinned, not only did man lose dominion over the earth, but God also lost control of the earth, but God also lost control of the earth to Satan.  Since that time, some say, God has been on the outside looking in, searching for a “covenant people” who will be His “extension” or “expression” in the earth to take dominion back from Satan.  According to the Dominionist interpretation, this is the meaning of the Great Commission.  Some teach that this is to be accomplished through certain “over comers” who, by yielding themselves to the authority of the latter-day apostles and prophets, will take control of the kingdoms of this world.  These kingdoms are defined as the various social institutions, such as the “kingdom ” of education, the “kingdom” of science, the “kingdom” of the arts, and so on, and especially there is the “kingdom” of government and politics. (Dager, p. 44) ( as in the 7 Mountain Mandate Vol 1, 2 & 3, by Dr Lance Wallnau)  By the way, the only place in scripture that the seven mountains are mentioned in the Bible is in the Book of Revelation 17:9 (KJV)
⁹ And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth.  As being a religious system where it is described as the harlot, Mystery Babylon, and she rides on the beast, seven kingdoms that have oppressed Israel during the time of the Gentiles.  How ironic is that?  Playing the whore in symbolic language always refers to religious fornication and idolatry (Rev. 17:1-4; Isa. 23:17; 57:3-7; Jer. 3:2-9; Ezek. 16:1-63; 20:30-32; 23:7-49; Hos. 4:12-19; Nah. 3:4; literal fornication must also be understood in some of these).  We know that the true Church hasn’t been mentioned in Revelation since Revelation 4:1 (KJV)
¹ After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter.  

The Dominion Mandate:  Dominion theology is predicated upon three basic beliefs:

1)      Satan usurped man’s dominion over the earth through the temptation of Adam and Eve;

2)      The Church is God’s instrument to take dominion back from Satan;

3)       Jesus cannot or will not return until the Church has taken dominion by gaining control of the earth’s government and social institutions. (Dager, p. 87)

Clearly NONE of this is Scriptural.  And we’ve only just begun to scratch the surface.

Our special thanks today to Sarah Leslie who’s tireless determination to reach a lost and dying world for Christ has lead her to do much of the research from which we have quoted today.

THE WARNING SIGNS OF DOMINIONISM

We are willing to bet that many are sitting in churches and are beginning to have “feelings” that something is just not right.  The sermons are changing.  The “management” is changing, and there is little or no talk of a lost and dying world.

First of all, if you are getting “feelings” that you cannot explain, it is very likely that you are feeling the conviction of the Holy Spirit.  Yes the Holy Spirit does many things in us once we are born again and get filled with the Holy Spirit.  But throughout the Bible, He has “convicted” man.  The utmost conviction is the conviction of sin and that is that nagging feeling we have when we have sinned and it is that feeling that leads us to repentance and brings us back into right standing with God.  Many know of the Bible from sitting in church for years listening to the Sunday sermons, or the big dusty book resting on the bottom shelf of the coffee table.  If you truly listen and not use that time in church to nap, you cannot help but pick up the general meaning of the Bible.  This is not acceptable as a Christian, and I know that the Holy Spirit has convicted you of this also.  But we will move on anyway.  You know enough of the Bible to know when the tone and sound and lessons of the Word start to change.  Some lash out at their pastors and elders and make it a personal issue.  Let me say here and now that we will never save anyone that is deceived by other ministering spirits by attacking the person.  It is human nature to become defensive.  Jesus taught us to love and that was his final request that we love one another as He loves us.  Yes, anger is probably the first feeling we have, but we must allow the Holy Spirit to minister to us and give us the solution.  At all costs we must keep the flesh out of the situation or the enemy of us all will enter in even more.  In fact, he depends on anger and judgment and discouragement as his prime weapons to tear the church apart.  Don’t do this.  We will endeavor to give you the tools that you will need to minister to these deceived souls.  Our goal is to get them to return to the teachings of the Cross, to Jesus and Him crucified, and to get the church back in the business of the Great Commission of going into all the world and preaching the gospel to every creature and setting captives free to come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ and the salvation He offers.  We will now give you the “Warning Signs of Dominionism” which we believe is the most dangerous plague permeating the church today.  Then in the coming days, we will get into the mechanics deeper and deeper.

• Bypasses the cross and the FINISHED work done there by Jesus.
• Substitutes the “Gospel of the Kingdom”(as a creation of man), or changes the Gospel of salvation with the addition of the”man” made Kingdom message.
• Teaches that the Cross was not a finished work and that the church must finish the work started by Christ and/or denies the faith of salvation through grace.
• Places the church as the instrument of forgiving sins again replacing the Cross as a finished work and the salvation bought by Christ.
• Removes the teaching of Original Sin and the inability of man to overcome that original sin but by the salvation offered by the finished work of the Cross alone.
• Jesus is suddenly referred to as a “pal” “a go to guy” just a man and a prophet thus denying his Deity.
• The church must conquer the earth, once again returning it to it’s perfection as described in Genesis as the Garden of Eden and God’s mandate for Adam and Eve to go and take dominion over the earth. And only then will the CHURCH summon Jesus to return to the Earth which is the most blasphemous thing ever created by the mind and flesh of man! 

SO MUCH TO DO

There is still so much work to be done for Christ, and yet so little time remains to do it all.  We feel that is necessary to bring not only the lost that do not know Jesus at all to the knowledge of Him, but to liberate those who truly think that they are leading healthy Christian lives.  It will do us no good to post this blog daily with vital information to rescue your souls from false doctrine unless we have you examine where you are in Christ right now.  It would be like having you sign up to run a marathon for the Heart Foundation, only to collapse on the run because you have heart disease yourself.  We know of many Christians that can almost recite the Bible word for word.  They are always there with a snappy scripture.  And yet, these people have no idea of what the words they are reciting actually mean.  They take scripture out of context.  So many Christians, instead of truly learning the Bible and using it as it was intended by God, (as their “how to manual for a victorious life through Christ”), they are learning “of it” and then rush to certain scriptures to justify what they are doing.  Sadly…many fall into this last category.  This is dangerous and this is what enables these precious sheep to be deceived time after time.  The easiest way to motivate yourselves to truly get to know the Word is to see if you are living “in” Christ Jesus.  In Luke 6:46, Jesus asks “Why call me Lord, Lord, but do not the things I say?”  It has always amazed me that people practically stampede to the sign up sheets in churches to volunteer to please man, but their lives lived for Christ are so shallow.  Either in waking or going to bed we pray.  “Thank you God for all that we have.  We are so blessed.  Thank you for Jesus.  I have sinned, but it is covered in the blood so I am covered.  Keep things going good for me, Amen.”    Jesus expects more.  He expects your total submission to His Lordship.  He is not just a passport to heaven.  He is the living God who stands with His creation and He expects and deserves your total submission.  There is safety in this total submission.  If you are truly His, then you will yourself, test any waters before you enter.  You will hold any man or ministry up to the Word of God.  Herein lay the ONLY protection from today’s false doctrines and false prophets.  So we implore and encourage you to send questions regarding the scriptures we will be using if you don’t understand them or you have always thought that they meant something else.  Don’t throw your baby out with the bath water when you have a chance to mature and grow in the Word of God.  Sometimes when we find that we have been going down the wrong path or have become involved in something we should not have, we let pride and embarrassment to prevent us from breaking free.  We all make mistakes.  We all can learn from them.  But instead of allowing the enemy to make you feel like a fool, learn from your experience, dig in your heels, as many others have been deceived as well, and become part of the solution instead of the problem.  Blessings…Dave and Patti

BLOG LAUNCH

Greeting in the Most Precious Blood of Jesus!!

We are Dave and Patti.  Recently we have been called to this new Ministry by the Holy Spirit.  We have prayed long and hard to make sure that this decision is approved of and anointed by the Holy Spirit

Our focus of this blog will be to get you, the reader, the information about the false doctrines that are slowly, but surely, infiltrating an astounding number of churches.  The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:11 (KJV) ¹¹ And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.  And  also Matthew 24:24 (KJV) ²⁴ For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.   We have seen this first hand in more than one church, here in South Central Texas. 

We had the painful task recently of notifying our Pastor that we would not be coming back to their church because of the “false doctrine” being preached by many there.  Quoting Ezekiel 3: 21 and 27, we let them know that we loved them and we were praying for their return to the mandate given to us by Jesus Himself to Mark 16:15 (KJV) ¹⁵ And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.  We are praying for them to return to the message of the Cross.  The message of Christ and Him crucified.  And lastly we told them of the danger to their very salvation by reminding them of  Paul’s warning to the Galatians in Galatians 1:8-10 (KJV) ⁸ But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. ⁹ As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.
¹⁰ For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

In the coming blogs, we will endeavor to show you exactly what is creeping in to the church.  Some examples are Dominionism, New Age blending, Word of Faith Doctrine, Government of Twelve (and the methods that are being used to infiltrate and control not only churches but the congregations through public confession and abasement etc. and the methods are many and will be discussed)  And…this will shock many…The Purpose Driven Church (which is a new offspring of The Purpose Driven Life(style).

We also will be holding the words that these Christian authors are writing up to the written Word of God.  We must accept the Bible to be Gods Word.  We must believe that God could not be honest if he was to hide from man the very things he will judge him by in the end.   He must accept the Bible as the final Court of Appeals so to speak, and forget man’s distortions and made up interpretations of the Word.   But man, and sadly many Pastor’s are leading their flocks astray by accepting or willingly overlooking the heresy’s being given to them by other “secularly popular” preachers, ministers and evangelist’s, or sadly from some of their own seminaries!   It is actually very easy to see who the false apostles and prophets are because they carry the antichrist spirit that is clearly defined in the Word of God.  Many fall easy prey to these antichrist spirits because they simply don’t know the Word or don’t want to know.  The Prophet Hosea says,  Hosea 4:6 (KJV) ⁶ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.   It’s the responsibility of every Christian to become familiar with the Word of God.  It is your only defense against deception.  If any MAN tells you that he has received special revelation for his ears only for him to pass along to you, and he can only verify this by using twisted scripture…you have a FALSE PROPHET. 

We believe in a simple rule for Bible understanding.  “Take the Bible as literal as possible, and if figurative or symbolic or if typical language is used, then look for the literal truth it intends to convey.” (Finis Dake)   Every biblical truth will be backed up with at least two or three other scriptures.  There is no need for man to make up frivolous interpretations, as the Bible clearly defines itself. 

We welcome your comments and input and we will try to answer your questions as best we can using only the written Word of God.  We love and pray for everyone and it is never our intention to attack a “person”, but only their own written words that can be verified, found in, and quoted from their writings or books.  We love them in Christ Jesus and will continue to pray for their return to the message of the Cross.  We pray that their focus would return to a lost and dying world that is in need of the saving grace extended to us all through the finished work of Calvary.  Building a Kingdom of the flesh should never be preached, let alone taking precedence over  the salvation of the lost.

Love and His richest blessings to you all….Dave and Patti
