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…

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…

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 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…

Discerning False Teaching According to False Teachers

Discerning False Teaching According to False Teachers

Now the Spirit expressly says that in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teaching of demons. 1 Timothy 4:1 It is an interesting thing when you come across professing modern-day apostles and prophets who are teaching on how to discern false teaching. Such a thing happened the other day while making my way through the “interwebs”, which seems a rather appropriate term to use for such a topic. I saw a…

Tithe Money Just Walked in the House

Tithe Money Just Walked in the House

Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. Malachi 3:8,10 It is hard telling how…

This Light Momentary Affliction

This Light Momentary Affliction

So, we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 ESV Specific verses in Scripture…

It’s Supernatural Weight Loss!

It’s Supernatural Weight Loss!

Gemstones. Feathers. Gold dust. Gold teeth. Supernatural weight loss. These are some of the manifestations claimed by those who teach that occurrences like these are taking place in corporate gatherings among the hyper charismatic movement. Losing weight rapidly is an appealing idea to many who desire to shed unwanted pounds quickly and easily. Testimonials state inches are lost, and pounds dropped in the blink of an eye. It sounds too good to be true because it is. Typically, those testifying…

Up and Out with Christian Deliverance Ministry

Up and Out with Christian Deliverance Ministry

On March 13, 2023, the movie, Come Out in Jesus Name, was featured in 2,000 secular movie theaters across the United States. Numerous reports came out that night, videos alleging that demons were cast out in the aisles of the theaters. This took place during a live mass deliverance simulcast in which a myriad of demonic entities was rebuked and commanded to leave. Prior to this, a gospel message was briefly presented. There were claims of deliverance taking place in…

God’s Plan B and Man’s Dominion Theology

God’s Plan B and Man’s Dominion Theology

To argue that man is a free moral agent and the determiner of his own destiny, and that therefore he has the power to checkmate his Maker, is to strip God of the attribute of Omnipotence. A.W. Pink Why do we struggle with the sovereignty of God? One of the familiar teachings among NAR circles is the Dominion mandate or Dominion Theology. Some of us have heard of the Seven Mountain Mandate, a teaching and belief that Christ cannot return…
