A Berean Scrolls into Social Media

A Berean Scrolls into Social Media

From time to time, I receive messages from women seeking input surrounding specific teachings in the hyper Charismatic church. It is encouraging to see both brothers and sisters in Christ using Biblical discernment and desiring Biblical truth. There are people coming out of this movement who want clarity and answers after the fog lifts from some areas in life. Recently, I received one of those messages from a sister in Christ. She had come across a social media post from…

Shouting Over the Silent Screams

Shouting Over the Silent Screams

Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Isaiah 49:15 For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately…

A Prophetic Spider Reveals Bad Theology

A Prophetic Spider Reveals Bad Theology

One of the most dangerous things you can do as a Christian is determine your theology by your experience. R.C. Sproul “For those in ministry who are experiencing spiritual attacks and witchcraft, I want to tell you that one reason this is happening is because you have disturbed the enemy’s structure. You have disturbed the web with the authentic presence of God. You have not been moved by fear despite the warning of that red hourglass by the enemy. You…

Weep and Rejoice

Words seem futile in times like this, at least words originating from my own thoughts and emotions while sitting in the comfort of my own home far away from unimaginable horror and persecution. Right now, there are thousands of people thousands of miles away in Afghanistan facing incomprehensible tribulation, torture, and even death. A recent article spoke of a pastor in Afghanistan receiving a letter from the Taliban saying, “We know who you are, what you do, and where to…

Setting Our Joy to Defrost

Setting Our Joy to Defrost

How did that get in there? Perhaps you can relate to putting something in the most unlikely of places. I have heard stories of this happening and have almost done this myself on more than one occasion. I once walked to the laundry room with the intent of putting the milk away in the cabinet. It sounds ridiculous, but it happened. I read a story once where a woman put her keys in the freezer and had no recollection of…

Reviewing Bethel Part 2: Prophecy 101

Reviewing Bethel Part 2: Prophecy 101

Last week, I wrote a blog post surrounding a recent video from Rediscover Bethel where the topic of prophetic ministry was discussed in house among two leaders affiliated with Bethel church in Redding, California. Today, I want to continue looking at the remaining teaching in this video on the office of a prophet, judging prophecy, and false prophets, to name a few. The goal of this post as well as the previous one is to evaluate the teaching and to…

Reviewing Bethel Part 1: Prophecy 101

A few weeks ago, Bethel released a video in their series, Rediscover Bethel, dealing with their teaching on basic prophetic ministry. I took time to listen to this video while keeping my Bible open and taking notes. The more I listened, the more I noticed familiar words and phrases mentioned, which originated from a DVD curriculum Kris Vallotton had released several years ago about prophetic ministry. I had taught from this curriculum provided in the former church I attended, the…

Prayer I Had Not Truly Known

Prayer I Had Not Truly Known

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6,7 ESV And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” Luke 22:41,42…

Suffering Despised, the Cross Accessorized

Suffering Despised, the Cross Accessorized

The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. Romans 8:16,17 ESV For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. 1 Peter 2:21 ESV It is an interesting observation. Whenever I…

Spirit Filled Without Tongues

“Don’t try to analyze or rationalize the sound coming out of your mouth. Your brain will try to shut it down because it is not English. It is your private prayer language. Jude 20 says you build yourself up on your most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. The devil cannot understand this language, and he does not want you to have it because it is the perfect prayer. You cannot mess it up. I am going to…
