Sovereign Childbirth- A Response to the Teaching of Supernatural Childbirth

Sovereign Childbirth- A Response to the Teaching of Supernatural Childbirth

Years ago, I read a book that affected my view of childbirth before my husband and me had children. This book was called Supernatural Childbirth, and the idea behind this doctrine was that a woman could use the Word of God in such a way to overcome the issues in conception, pregnancy, labor, and delivery of children. Pregnancies would be free of nausea, morning sickness, and any type of discomfort or depression. Labor and delivery would be pain free and…

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…

The Contentment of God Post NAR

The Contentment of God Post NAR

Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, freely submitting to, and taking delight in God’s wise, and fatherly disposal in every condition. Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment If you had asked me several years ago how to find contentment in God, I would likely have said that it is only found in God and in the abundant life He promises in His Word. That answer sounds a bit convoluted, doesn’t it? To some…

The Difference Between Healthy Church and Unhealthy Church

The Difference Between Healthy Church and Unhealthy Church

Spiritual abuse, false teaching, and doctrinal error are not exclusive to a specific movement or religious belief system. Having said that, when coming out of what is termed the New Apostolic Reformation movement, finding a Biblically sound church can be daunting and intimidating. There are some people who are reluctant to attend a local church again because of previous personal experiences with church leadership. Spiritual abuse and emotional manipulation can take a toll on the ability to trust another pastor…

Examining the Prophetic Lab

Examining the Prophetic Lab

But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all, the secrets of his heart are disclosed, and so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you. 1 Corinthians 14:22 ESV Imagine participating in what is deemed a prophetic seeing experiment. You are invited to join your consciousness with Jesus and to see the way He sees about a specific…

The Foundation of the New Apostolic Reformation

The Foundation of the New Apostolic Reformation

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. Ephesians 2:19-21 One of the main verses used to discuss the teaching of modern apostles and prophets today in the government of God is Ephesians…

Dreams, Deliverance, and Sola Scriptura

Dreams, Deliverance, and Sola Scriptura

What is to be our response when a well-known professing prophet claims that God spoke to him in a dream and told him that he was going to receive a new operating system for the current generation? Are we obligated to obey a professing modern-day apostle’s book on deliverance ministry that is said to contain fresh revelation on particular passages directly from God? When individuals claim such revelations from God while stating to hold to sola Scriptura, how are we…

Is Cessationism Heretical?

Is Cessationism Heretical?

For almost two decades of my life, I was immersed in the Charismatic movement. If I had to describe the beliefs I once held, they would fall under the cornucopia of Word of Faith, hyper Charismatic, and New Apostolic Reformation. For fifteen years, I professed to my own private prayer language, and I coached other people to do the same in altar calls, using verses such as Jude 20 to support it. There were dreams and visions I experienced through…

Trust Me, I’m an Honorary Doctor

Trust Me, I’m an Honorary Doctor

I recently had a great conversation with Richard Moore regarding diploma mills and honorary doctorates. There is a good amount of helpful information he shared in this discussion. Rather than trying to summarize our discussion, I encourage you to listen to the podcast. In this episode, we discuss the rise of supernatural schools of ministry and the rise of diploma mills and questionable doctorate degrees from schools with questionable accreditation. I hope you find this topic helpful, as there are…
