A Doctrine Far Better Than the Courts of Heaven

A Doctrine Far Better Than the Courts of Heaven

Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25 It is a comforting thing to know that Jesus Christ is ever interceding for those who have trusted in Him for salvation and eternal life. It is also comforting and encouraging to know that when Satan brings accusations against those of us who are in Christ, his accusations are not entertained or given…

Do Demons Have Legal Rights to Christians?

Do Demons Have Legal Rights to Christians?

And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross. He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him. Colossians 2:13-15 The belief of demonic legal rights is a fundamental teaching within…

The Fruit of Repentance

The Fruit of Repentance

As it is, I rejoice, not because you were grieved, but because you were grieved into repenting. For you felt a godly grief, so that you suffered no loss through us. For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death. For see what earnestness this godly grief has produced in you, but also what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what fear, what longing, what zeal, what punishment! At every point you…

Life After Leaving the New Apostolic Reformation

 Long my imprisoned spirit layFast bound in sin and nature’s night;Thine eye diffused a quick’ning ray,I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;My chains fell off, my heart was free;I rose, went forth and followed Thee. Amazing love! how can it beThat Thou, my God, should die for me? It was on May 15, 2019, that my family and I began our exit out of what we would come to know as the New Apostolic Reformation. In that moment, all that…

Spiritual Coverings and the Culture of Honor

Spiritual Coverings and the Culture of Honor

So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Christ, as well as a partaker in the glory that is going to be revealed: shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 1 Peter 5:1-3 A leader who has…

Let Love Compel to Warn Those Who Are False

Let Love Compel to Warn Those Who Are False

And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome, but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 I was a false prophet. There is no joy in making such a statement, but there is…

Can Prophets Have Demons?

Can Prophets Have Demons?

The modern deliverance movement rests on the premise that born-again believers in Christ are in need of demonic expulsion. Leaders holding this to belief teach people that deliverance maintenance every few months is necessary, which is sometimes referred to in these circles as a “tune up”. Generational curses are a commonality, and numerous spirits are on the rampage, from Leviathan to Jezebel. There seem to be growing facets of this movement, and now there is a teaching and practice emerging…

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore…

Bethel’s No Good, Very Bad Vibrations

Bethel’s No Good, Very Bad Vibrations

For God is the King of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm! Psalm 47:7 Music is a powerful thing. Many of us can recall songs from our childhood, and the words once filed deep within our minds emerge easily from our lips. Many of us have put things to music when studying for exams and trying to memorize various facts because it makes learning easier and retainable. Music is an important part of our praise and worship unto…

A Krick in the Neck of Church Order

A Krick in the Neck of Church Order

The saying is trustworthy: If anyone aspires to the office of overseer, he desires a noble task. Therefore, an overseer must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, sober-minded, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not a drunkard, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. 1 Timothy 3:1-3 It was a subject and belief I avoided tackling. After all, I had been permitted to minister and to preach on a handful of occasions to a…
