That Pesky Religious Spirit

That Pesky Religious Spirit

For those who have spent time in the Charismatic movement, you may have heard someone use the label “having a religious spirit” or being a Pharisee. This is typically used with response to those who would question a leader’s beliefs or teachings or seemingly challenge the anointing on one’s life. I was recently listening to an online conversation between two individuals, one who calls himself an apostle to the nations and the other professing to be a prophet, which seems…

Digital Kingdoms and Ministry Business

Years ago, I remember sitting in a local Starbucks across from a ministry leader, receiving tips and instructions on how to advance my ministry. This leader had offered to do this of his own volition, and prior to that meeting, I was excited yet not fully understanding what this conversation would entail. As we sat at that table, he began to explain the importance of consistent personal branding. He suggested that I offer paid e-courses on how to start a…

The Weakness of Deliverance Ministry

The Weakness of Deliverance Ministry

His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence. 2 Peter 1:3 Recently, I was listening to a recorded conversation about deliverance ministry, and one of the individuals stated that she would not attend a church where deliverance was not performed on Christians because it was essentially a demon daycare. Another deliverance minister has stated that many pastors do not…

From the New Age Frying Pan to the Deliverance Fire

From the New Age Frying Pan to the Deliverance Fire

There is a saying when going from a bad situation to a worse one. It goes something like this: out of the frying pan and into the fire. I know I sound like a broken record when it comes to the issues surrounding modern deliverance ministry, but this is a growing issue in the charismatic and hyper charismatic movement. It is an issue worth addressing to help others. There is an appeal to personal experiences, regardless of if those experiences…

The Change and NAR Ecumenism

“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and…

Deliver Yourself from Evil?

Pray then like this: “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” Matthew 6:9-13 In the gospel of Matthew, we find Jesus teaching His disciples how to pray, instructing them not to heap up empty repetitive…

I Am Not Deborah, and Neither Are You

I Am Not Deborah, and Neither Are You

The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be in until I arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel. Judges 4:7 When you hear someone say it is time for the Deborahs, Esthers, or Davids to arise, what emotion does this evoke in your thoughts? Truth be told, at one time or another, the thought of being the one to slay the giant or to receive the king’s scepter is appealing. The appearance of strength and power draws…

A Wrong Prophet Is Not a False Prophet, Right?

A Wrong Prophet Is Not a False Prophet, Right?

A woman stands before a church congregation, sharing with them how she loves to get together with her friends and practice prophesying. She tells the people that they sometimes “get it wrong”, and she proceeds to tell them that this does not make someone a false prophet. She instructs those gathered to close their eyes, think on a word that the Holy Spirit is giving them, and if they do not get anything, they should make up a word. A…

Does The Lord’s Supper Provide Healing in the Atonement?

Does The Lord’s Supper Provide Healing in the Atonement?

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24 By His wounds you have been healed. The final portion of this verse may be familiar to those who have heard it referenced when talking about the promise of physical healing in the here and now. This was a common verse I remember claiming and reciting over myself and…

A Journey into the Mystical Realm and Another Gospel

A Journey into the Mystical Realm and Another Gospel

There is an ever-growing fascination with the supernatural realm where people desire to not only hear the voice of God, but they desire to see angels and demons. There are many who crave experiences beyond this world and to testify of such things. I was recently informed about an e-course titled Journey into the Mystical Realm that is offered through an “apostle’s” ministry by the name of Ian Carroll. I took time to peruse the $79 e-course and what was…
