beware of ian mccormack and revelation tv

I have previously written separately about Ian McCormack and Revelation TV in some depth. Revelation TV seem intent on deceiving their viewers with false teachers such as Jesse Duplantis, John Hagee, Joyce Meyer, Pat Robertson, Ellel Ministries etc..... the list is endless. The cost of promoting things contrary to sound doctrine will be very high indeed (1 Timothy 1:3-11; Revelation 21:8). Both Howard and Leslie Conder have both admitted airing "iffy" teachers for financial gain. By blatantly putting their own interests ahead of the word of God and the eternal destiny of their hearers, the Conders are committing great wickedness. We should remember that after betraying Jesus Christ, Judas Iscariot was unable to return the money to the chief priests and elders, he could not undo what he had done (Matthew 27:3-4).

Ian McCormack is one of the more plausible false teachers around today, possibly because he seems very genuine and full of "love".  However, love and truth are inseparable, love is not real love without truth (2 Thessalonians 2:10).

http://www.revelationtv.com/programmes/episode/ian-mccormack747176

The above programme was aired originally on RTV on the 24th of June 2015. The doctrines of demons being taught by Ian McCormack are currently being repeated by RTV at regular intervals.

Ian McCormack describes what he calls "the problem of variance" or "the disintegration of unity" within the universal church. He blames the problem of disunity on non-cooperation between churches and the intransigence of individual ministries. Ian McCormack starts from the false premise that the "fivefold ministry" should be foundational and that the "new wineskin" should be operational universally. From the very beginning of this programme there are major issues with his teaching.

Ian McCormack: "The existing wineskin only provides pastoral positions."  !!!!!

Wineskins are specifically linked to the new birth, NOT TO A MINISTRY. The gospel is signified by wine, and the new wineskins are those whom the Holy Spirit regenerates (Matthew 9:17). 

Ian McCormack: "Jesus said 'The blood of the prophets is all over the church.'"    !!!!!
This is completely false. Jesus Christ was referring to the Old Testament prophets; he was addressing the Scribes and Pharisees, NOT THE CHURCH (Matthew 23:29-31).

Ian McCormack: "Barnabas was an apostle." !!!!!
Barnabas is described as an "apostle" in Acts 14:14. However, in context, the Greek word "apostolos" simply means "messenger". Barnabas was an important pioneering missionary or "messenger", but he was not an "Apostle" in the sense that Ian McCormack would have us believe. Luke made clear distinctions between Barnabas and the Twelve apostles (Acts 4:36; 9:27; 15:2, 22). These verses and others demonstrate that Luke consistently used the term "Apostle" to refer only to the Twelve. There are four lists of the Twelve in the New Testament, one in each of the three Synoptic Gospels (Matthew 10:1-4; Mark 3:13-19; Luke 6:12-16) and one in Acts 1:13 which omits Judas Iscariot. In fact Matthias was chosen to replace Judas Iscariot; Barnabus was not even a candidate for the position (Acts 1:12-26)!

Ian McCormack: "If you don't have Salvation, Pastoral Care, Teaching, Deliverance, Apostolic, Prophetic........ then you don't have the full gospel....the full gospel is the whole pack."   !!!!!

God has given us all things pertaining to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3) without the distortions and additions of people like Ian McCormack. We already have the apostolic i.e. the apostles teaching, and we already have the prophets. Modern prophecy must be tested and should line up with the scriptures (1 John 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:16). Furthermore, the fallacy that redeemed Christians need "deliverance" is extremely dangerous. Deliverance of redeemed Christians is not taught anywhere in the scriptures; this is yet another denial of the cross of Christ from people who add to the word of God (Deuteronomy 4:2; Proverbs 30:6). http://eliora.hubpages.com/hub/THE-BIBLE-AND-INNER-HEALING-A-FOCUS-ON-ELLEL-MINISTRIES

The Key to Success: Proper Additions To Faith:

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue, and virtue with knowledge, and knowledge with self-control, and self-control with steadfastness, and steadfastness with godliness, and godliness with brotherly affection, and brotherly affection with love. For if these qualities are yours and are increasing, they keep you from being ineffective or unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. For whoever lacks these qualities is so nearsighted that he is blind, having forgotten that he was cleansed from his former sins. Therefore, brothers, be all the more diligent to confirm your calling and election, for if you practice these qualities you will never fall. For in this way there will be richly provided for you an entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. (1 Peter 1:5-11)

Ian McCormack’s unbiblical teaching that God is restoring foundational apostles and prophets in these days puts him in broad agreement with the New Apostolic Reformation. He and other deceivers base their "fivefold" teaching on a single verse of scripture:

And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers….. (Ephesians 4:11)

In exactly what way can these new "apostles and prophets" be foundational?

The original apostles were unique, they knew Jesus Christ personally during his earthly ministry:

That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we looked upon and have touched with our hands, concerning the word of life— (1 John 1:1)

The office of "Apostle" was conditional:

"So one of the men who have accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from the baptism of John until the day when he was taken up from us—one of these men must become with us a witness to his resurrection.” (Acts 1: 21-22)

Ian McCormack and others who promote the "fivefold ministry" actually contradict Jesus Christ and destroy the foundation. Biblically Jesus Christ and the original apostles and prophets have (past tense) laid the foundation in defining the canon of scripture. These present day "apostles and prophets" as they refer to themselves, are usurpers, they seek to alter that foundation.

The apostles writings were infallibly inspired as the written word of God (John 14:26; 16:13; 1 Thessalonians 2:13 Ephesians 3:5). The scriptures tell us that the church is built on the foundation of the original apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone (Ephesians 2/20).  There is no evidence to support any succession to the original apostles and prophets, and there is nothing further to add to the canon of scripture as these false apostles and prophets claim. These so called "apostles" are self appointed and do things by their own authority. What Ian McCormack is doing is called revisionism, he revises the scriptures to suit his own agenda. 

So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints, and are of God's household, having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the corner stone, in whom the whole building, being fitted together, is growing into a holy temple in the Lord… (Ephesians 2:19-21) The grammar is what we should pay particular attention to: "having been" + aorist passive participle (ἐποικοδομηθέντες) "built upon" - in other words, the foundation laid by Jesus Christ and the prophets is a completed past event.

For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. (1 Corinthians 3:11) 

If we are not building on the foundation laid by Christ and the apostles, then we are not in Christ. 

For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough. (2 Corinthians 11:4)
 

..... knowing this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture comes from someone’s own interpretation. For no prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit. (2 Peter 1: 20-21)

The Apostle Paul had a similar dilemma with those who called themselves apostles - there is nothing new under the sun (Ecclesiastes 1:9).

And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds. (2 Corinthians 11:12-15) 

I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. (Revelation 2:2)

The apostle Paul gives the example of Jannes and Jambres opposition to Moses in order to warn the church:

 .....having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people.

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men corrupted in mind and disqualified regarding the faith. But they will not get very far, for their folly will be plain to all, as was that of those two men. (2 Timothy 3: 5, 8-9)

"..... in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men." (Matthew 15:9)

One of the so called "apostles" Ian McCormack approves of is "gravesucker" Bill Johnson of Bethel Church, Redding CA. Johnson is one of the "apostles" who prophesied over Todd Bentley along with other false "apostles and prophets" at the "Toronto Blessing" in Florida.  What these people stand for is inconsistent with the teaching and practice of Jesus Christ and the authentic apostles.

Ian McCormack: "I am up to here with hearing the bitterness, the anger, the unforgiveness and resentment because of the problem." My response: The "problem" is that the foundations laid by Jesus Christ and the apostles are being destroyed by wolves in sheep's clothing like Ian McCormack and the hirelings who give them a platform. If the foundations are destroyed, what can the righteous do? (Psalm 11:3) No true Christian can possibly remain within the apostate church, i.e. Babylon the great, mother of prostitutes and of earth’s abominations. (Revelation 17:5, 18:2 see also Hebrews 13:13).

The Bible bears witness that there will be massive deception in the last days. This is what is referred to as the "falling away" i.e. apostasy  (2 Thessalonians 2:3; 1Timothy 4:1; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Acts 20:29).

Ian McCormack promotes an unholy unity within the "universal church". However, God commands his faithful people to do the diametric opposite:

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues....." (Revelation 18:4)

"Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith (faithfulness) on earth?” (Luke 18:8)

Ian McCormack's supposed numerous visits to the third heaven and his claim to a free right of access to heaven at any time is highly alarming. Some of the false teachers he has shared a platform with are Jill Austin, Heidi Baker, Bill Johnson and Todd Bentley: http://www.aglimpseofeternity.org/calendar/event.php?event=384

howard conder revelation tv scraping the barrel with sharon stone prophecy

Howard Conder has done his upmost to validate his "television ministry" via Revelation TV, despite the fact that he continues to air false teachers like Jesse Duplantis, Joyce Meyer, John Hagee etc. So far Conder has not produced one credible witness to attest to the truth of claims by himself and others that he is called by God for a "special purpose".

The following deceivers have nothing to recommend them, apart from their ability to distort the word of God:  

*"Doctor" Hugh Jackman 2004. Jackman is an incompetent "pastor" on the payroll of RTV. He holds an honorary Mickey Mouse doctorate and he cannot rightly handle the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15).  
http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/revelation-tv-howard-conder-twisted.html
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra-PPspeNQs 

*Malaysian Cult Leader "Doctor" Jonathan David 1994. 
http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/revelation-tv-howard-conders-delusional.html

 *An unnamed "Man of God" 2008.
http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/06/the-saul-syndrome-howard-conders.html 

*New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) proponent, Sharon Stone 2005. Conder is scraping the barrel in order to obtain further "verification" from Todd Bentley supporter Sharon Stone. This "prophecy" comes from yet another "Doctor" and self appointed "prophet" who is closely associated with false NAR leaders Rick Joyner, C Peter Wagner, Bob Jones, Wesley and Stacey Campbell, Cindy Jacobs and many others. 

Get ready to be impressed (not): 

"About Christian International Europe (CIE)
A kingdom expanding international ministry founded by Dr. Sharon Stone in 1996. Sharon is the
European apostle for Christian International Ministries pioneered by Dr. Bill Hamon of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida.....

Dr. Sharon Stone has been used by God to mobilize the Prophetic and Apostolic throughout the world. Through preaching, revelation, training and coordination of various national prophetic roundtables.....  She carries an authority which shifts and transforms regions. Sharon is known for her accurate and proven prophetic words that help to release individuals, churches, businesses, cities and nations into divine strategies....." 
http://www.cieurope.org/about.php  

For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. (2 Peter 2:18)

 

THE NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION (NAR)

Participation with the NAR is by definition to set oneself up in opposition to the Holy Scriptures. 

Apostolic Governance: The main claim of the NAR is Apostolic Governance, i.e the false assertion that God is restoring the offices of Apostle and Prophet as a model for church governance in the end times.

The problem with this wicked assertion is that no biblical evidence exists to indicate that the original apostles were ever to be replaced. Jesus Christ appointed the apostles to do the foundational work of the Church, and they were unique in setting the canon of scripture (Ephesians 2:20, 2 Timothy 3:16-17). These precious foundations were laid under the following criteria: 

  • An apostle had to be a physical eyewitness of the resurrected Christ (Acts 1:21-22). 
  • An apostle had to be personally appointed by the Lord Jesus Christ (John 6:70). 

The NAR is a movement pioneered by C Peter Wagner, who claims apostolic authority for himself as the "Presiding Apostle" over an organisation called International Coalition of Apostles (ICA). Wagner claims that he was "commissioned by God" as the "apostle" of the "second apostolic age". According to the false gospel of Wagner, “The second apostolic age began in the year 2001 when the lost offices of prophet and apostle were restored." Wagner and others say that God is giving them new revelations apart from the Bible while proclaiming that experience takes precedence over the teaching of Jesus Christ and the apostles.In short, Wagner and others have set themselves up as an antichrist usurpers! Others who claim the title of "apostle" for themselves are Rick Joyner, Mike Bickle (now leader of the spiritually corrupt International House of Prayer {IHOP}). Cindy Jacobs (Generals International), Bill Johnson (Bethel Church Redding), Che Ahn (HRock Church Pasadena) etc. ALL these apostates are proven false prophets, they do not qualify in any way to lead the true church; their prophecies are false, their teaching is aberrant and in many cases their lifestyles are unbiblical. These modern day "apostles" claim a unique position of authority, even putting themselves above the original apostles of Jesus Christ. Many of these so called "prophets and apostles" hold celebrity status; they are completely delusional, they feed off each other and are answerable to no one!

No living person today fulfils the criteria of the original apostles. Individuals may be gifted by God for certain ministries, but they cannot have that particular ministry. Wagner asserts that the gift and its fruit are recognised by peers and that the apostle is “set in” or “commissioned” to that office by other respected and qualified leaders. Wagner is of course referring to the disgraceful infestation of false apostles and unqualified leaders who "commissioned" Todd Bentley. None of these upstarts qualify as true Christian leaders and they certainly do not engender respect - they simply appoint and commission one another. 

Prophecy: By their own authority the NAR leaders claim that prophecy is "conditional" in the New Testament i.e. there is provision for a margin of error in prophecy - this is their get out clause when their prophecies fail!!! The scriptures make no distinction between Old and New Testament prophets or prophecy: But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die. (Deuteronomy 18:20, see also Deuteronomy 13:1-5; 17:12; 18:21-22; 1 Kings 18:40; Jeremiah 14:14; 23:30; 26:11; Zechariah 13:3). Any prophecy given must not contradict the Bible, and yet these deceivers claim to supersede the original apostles and prophets. Jesus Christ warned that in the end times many false prophets will arise and lead many astray (Matthew 24:11). The New Testament warns us to test prophecy and to be on our guard against spiritual deception: Matthew 7:15; 24:5; 24:24; 1 John 4:1; 2 Peter 2:1; 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21.

Dominionism:
The stated aim of the NAR is for the church to literally take over society prior to the return of Christ in a similar manner to that of the Popes during the Dark Ages. This global church is to be led by an exclusive group of apostles and prophets, i.e. themselves! In fact the Bible teaches the polar opposite. Revelation 19:11-21 makes it clear that JESUS CHRIST (NOT THE CHURCH) will achieve dominion on the earth (Revelation 22:19).

Wagner: "When Jesus came, He brought the kingdom of God and He expects His kingdom-minded people to take whatever action is needed to push back the long-standing kingdom of Satan and bring the peace and prosperity of His kingdom here on earth." Compare this statement with Matthew 10:24; Luke 12:51; Matthew 5:10; Mark 13:19 etc.

http://www.charismanews.com/opinion/31851-the-new-apostolic-reformation-is-not-a-cult

The above is just the tip of the iceberg, there are many more problems associated with the NAR.

Sharon Stone's prophecy over Todd Bentley's "commissioning":

“Todd , the Spirit of God says years from now people will look at this time and they will recognise it as when their God showed up and created within the church a new heart says the Lord. And I will genesis in the midst of the chaos in the world today I will not just bring forth a mending I will bring forth that which is new that which is dedicated that which is decided that which is pure and I will heal the corruptness of the heart says God and the lord says this is the heart that I will not despise as David cried unto me 'don’t take your Holy Spirit from me,' I have released a cry within my church says the Lord that has the gift to release its desperateness and said I can’t live without your presence, I can’t live without your glory, I’m down and I’m naked without your presence , no program will be a substitute and the Spirit of God says, ‘history, says the Lord ,’ will measure it by heart.”

The only thing that has come out of the "ministry" of Todd Bentley is false teaching, unverified healings and deception. During the Lakeland false "outpouring" (and even when he was "commissioned") Bentley was having an extramarital affair with Jessa Hasbrook.


All the usual heretics were present at Todd Bentley's "commissioning" on June 23, 2008:

Ché Ahn, pastor of Harvest Rock Church in Pasadena, Calif.; John Arnott of Toronto Airport Christian Fellowship in Canada; Bill Johnson, pastor of Bethel Church in Redding, Calif.; laid hands on Bentley approving him into their fold. It was called a true sign of unity by many. Peter Wagner called this “The Alignment Ceremony” where a total of 17 "apostles" participated (on stage) representing three apostolic streams: ICA, Revival Alliance, and Morning Star.

Participating leaders at the unholy ceremony included Rick Joyner, founder of MorningStar Ministries  Ken Greter  who announced C. Peter Wagner, Che Ahn, Bill Johnson, John Arnott, Stephen Strader, Karl Strader, Jeff Beecham, Rick Joyner, Doris Wagner, Joseph Garlington, Sharon Stone, Paco Garcia, Clarice Fluitt, Richard Maiden, Mike Maiden, Joshua Fowler, Barry Bouchet, Wesley Campbell.

 Statement from the Board of Directors, Fresh Fire Ministries 15the August 2008:

 “We wish to acknowledge, however, that since our last statement from the Fresh Fire Board of Directors, we have discovered new information revealing that Todd Bentley has entered into an unhealthy relationship on an emotional level with a female member of his staff. In light of this new information and in consultation with his leaders and advisors, Todd Bentley has agreed to step down from his position on the Board of Directors and to refrain from all public ministry for a season to receive counsel in his personal life.”

But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. (2 Peter 2:1)

An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes? (Jeremiah 5:30-31)

hillsong deception: jesus was not in the thick of an era where homosexuality was widely prevalent!!!!!

"Jesus was in the thick of an era where homosexuality, just like it is today, was widely prevalent."  Carl Lentz New York City Hill$ong Pastor. 

THIS IS A GROSSLY DISHONEST STATEMENT

Jesus Christ was definitely NOT in the thick of an era where homosexuality was widely prevalent!!!! Jesus declared explicitly that his mission was focused on Israel (Matthew 15:24). The Jews DID NOT engage in the practices of the surrounding nations where homosexuality and paedophilia were widely practiced.  

HOMOSEXUALITY WAS EMPHATICALLY CONDEMNED BY THE JEWISH TRADITION!

For Jews living in the first century, homosexuality was taboo. The biblical prohibition against a male lying with a male as though with a woman (Leviticus 20:13) was at the very heart of Jewish morality. This explains why Jesus Christ never addressed the sin of homosexuality directly as he did other sins, for instance, adultery; it is reasonable to suppose that he did not come across it!

The author of the Syballine Oracles, thought to be an Egyptian Jew (approx. 163 - 45 B.C.) "The Jews are mindful of holy wedlock, and they do not engage in impious intercourse with male children, as do Phoenicians, Egyptians, and Romans, specious Greece and many nations of others, Persians and Galatians and all Asia."  http://www.conservapedia.com/History_of_homosexuality#Homosexuality_among_the_Jews

Josephus: "But then, what are our laws about marriage? That law owns no other mixture of sexes but that which nature hath appointed, of a man with his wife, and that this be used only for the procreation of children. But it abhors the mixture of male with male; and if anyone do that, death is his punishment." (Against Apion 2.25)

Perhaps Lentz would like to produce evidence to back up his ridiculous statement which infers that homosexuality was widely prevalent within first century Judaism? 

JESUS CHRIST AFFIRMED THE LAW AND THE PROPHETS!

Jesus Christ: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfil them.” (Matthew 5:17)

Jesus Christ: “But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away than for one dot of the Law to become void.” (Luke 16:17)

Leviticus 18 forbids various types of unlawful sexual relations calling them “unclean” - verse 22 explicitly calls homosexuality an abomination as does Leviticus 20:13).

Jesus Christ's affirmation that marriage is between a man and a woman: “Have you not read that he who created them from the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh’? So they are no longer two but one flesh."
(Matthew 19:3-6; Genesis 2:24)

Being then God’s offspring, we ought not to think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and imagination of man. The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent, because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.”  (Acts 17:29-31)

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Revelation 21:8)

THE BIBLE AND HOMOSEXUALITY

·You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination. (Leviticus 18:2)

·If a man lies with a male as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination; they shall be put to death; their blood is upon them.
(Leviticus 20:13)

·For this reason God gave them up to degrading passions. Their women exchanged natural intercourse for unnatural, and in the same way also the men, giving up natural intercourse with women, were consumed with passion for one another. Men committed shameless acts with men and received in their own persons the due penalty for their error.
(Romans 1:26-27)

·Do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived! Fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, male prostitutes, sodomites..... (1 Corinthians 6:9)
·This means understanding that the law is laid down not for the innocent but for the lawless and disobedient, for the godless and sinful, for the unholy and profane, for those who kill their father or mother, for murderers, fornicators, sodomites, slave traders, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to the sound teaching. (1 Timothy 1:9-10)

THE DAYS OF LOT

The days of Lot were defined by sexual immorality and rampant homosexuality just prior to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Jesus Christ warns us that the world will be just the same in the end times prior to his second coming. Now is the time for church leaders to warn about the coming judgement rather than compromising with the world to fit in with societal fluctuations.

Likewise, just as it was in the days of Lot—they were eating and drinking, buying and selling, planting and building..... (Luke 1:28).

They (Sodom and her daughters) were haughty and did an abomination before me. So I removed them, when I saw it. (Ezekiel 16:50)

Likewise, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which, in the same manner as they, indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural lust (perversion), serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire. (Jude 1:7)

…… they called to Lot, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us, so that we may know (be intimate with) them." Lot went out of the door to the men, shut the door after him, and said, "I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly." (Genesis 19:5-7)

HILL$ONG MEMBERS BEWARE!  The feel-good factor at HILL$ONG has nothing to do with Biblical Christianity!

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; (Revelation 18:4)

IN DEFENCE OF ANDREW STROM AND IN RESPONSE TO RANDY CLARK BY JACOB PRASCH

Jacob Prasch of Moriel Ministries describes David Carr, Senior Pastor of the Renewal Centre in Solihull as "the quintessential theological ignoramus of the UK". Carr was the mentor of the now disgraced adulterer Richard Taylor, the instigator of the fake 'Welsh Outpouring' in the UK. Vineyard "Pastor" Randy Clark is of course a well known false bible teacher who has relentlessly promoted the strange fire of Toronto for a number of years.

"Moriel picketed Randy Clark's fiasco in the Midlands of England when he attempted to introduce his deceptive bill of goods assisted by the colossal hype artistry of David Carr whom we regard as the quintessential theological ignoramus of the UK.
Some time later I authored and published a rebuttal to the pseudo scholarly nonsense propounded by Dr. Craig in his defence of the Toronto / Pensacola debacle as academically and factually hideous and devoid of any real scriptural or historical support. Craig's outlandish efforts to use the teaching of the unbelieving Neo Aristotelian rabbi Rambam ( Moses Maimonides) from the Middle Ages to theologically justify Todd Bentley's claims of angelic visitations by a female angel named 'Emma' were beyond any semblance of exegetically interpreted Christian dogma and in fact even beyond the proverbial 'pale'. Whether Craig's polemic aimed at the opponents of Todd Bentley was even the product of a rational mind, we are not sure. But we are sure with uttermost certainty that The ludicrous nature of his remarks appear to have bordered on theological lunacy and academically impalpable and an exhibition of scholarly charlatanism. It is not my goal to revile, but in contemplating Dr. Craig's apologia I could find no euphemism for its patently moronic content.
Craig is the product of the ministry of Jack Heyford who jumped to the defence of Oral Roberts' after Robert's claim that a 900 foot tall Jesus Christ was going to murder him if he did not come up with 6 million dollars required to save his now defunct medical facility by the end of the month. In the same article also defended the late Paul Crouch in the TBN scandals before the 425,000 dollars secrecy clause settlement about homosexual charges concerning Crouch were disclosed in three days of front page exposure by the Los Angeles Times.
The August of 1990 visit by John Wimber, Mike Bickel, and the Kansas City prophets in which the 'latter day rain' revival for England spreading to Germany was prophetically predicted for October if that year has witnessed only the construction of more mosques in England than churches with the result of the publicly proven false prophecies being a moral avalanche in Britain - not a revival, and with Kansas City prophet Paul Caine admitting to being a drunken homosexual and Bob Jones a womaniser. Since when has immorality been the hallmark of revival? Failed prophetic prediction that was time specific and made in God's Name however are according to God's Word in Deuteronomy 18 etc. the unmistakeable signatures of the false prophets whom Jesus warned would be increasingly dispensed from hell to mislead the elect prior to His return.
The Toronto fiasco was no revival either, and the ecumenical deception of the late John Wimber and the contra scriptural notion that The Holy Spirit led charismatic Catholics to remain in the Roman church and continue in the idolatry of transubstantiation, the necromancy of praying to the dead, and the false gospel of sacramental regeneration is ludicrous. Randy Clark is and consistently has been a deceiver with a lying spirit raised up by Satan as an apologist for counterfeit revival who acts in the devil's service. I state this as a firm believer in Spirit Baptism and charismata by both theology and experience myself. The Pensacola deception which ended in an ugly split and a public financial scandal and the adultery and family abandonment by the head to toe tattoo clad Todd Bentley (who is banned from Australia and Great Britain after kicking elderly ladies in the face) during and after the Lakeland pandemonium which Clark defends, further demonstrates that he is but a servant of the father of lies. Efforts to attribute Third world church growth in areas of Asia thousands of miles away from Toronto and Lakeland where the momentum of that growth preceded these false revivals in the West by Randy Clark are as absurd as they are dishonest.
I remain available to publicly debate either Dr. Craig or Randy Clark challenging their advocacy of these counterfeit moves of God on front of a video camera, and Moriel affirms the doctrinal and factual validity of the statements made in this regard by Andrew Strom, who is guilty of nothing. more than telling the honest truth and upholding The Word of God.
Contrary to Toronto, Lakeland etc., the Fruit if The Spirit is 'ekreitei' , that is 'Self Control', not the lack of it. Nothing matching authentic scriptural or historical patterns or definitions of revival emerged from these demonically infiltrated counterfeits . These bogus combinations of the carnal and demonic were predicated on deception, hypnotic induction, and false if not heretical doctrine all of which was merchandised by religious connivers, defended by religious liars , and believed only by the deluded proponents of a religious idiocy that was ignorantly and often hypocritically misrepresented as a genuine outpouring of God's Spirit in the character of early Methodism. A cursory reading of Daniel Roland's history of The a Great revival ( misquoted by Guy Chevreau) reveals that John Wesley labelled the 'holy laughter' not as holy but as 'devilish' - identifying it as a satanic attempt to thwart and contaminate anything truly of God.
Scripturally and historically revivals commenced with people weeping, but none with people laughing. Drunken hysterics, immorality, financial con artistry (now Todd Bentley claims visitation by an angel called 'international banker') are not 'ekreitei', and huge numbers saved as the result of what transpires in a revival never transpired in Toronto or Lakeland. Rather Rick Joyner, Bill Johnson, Che An, and C. Peter Warner made televised false prophetic predictions concerning Todd Bentley who was at the time engaged in an adulterous relationship and a few days later left his handicapped Christian wife and three children to run off with his immoral woman whom he has since married in what God calls adultery and she is now making more crazed alleged 'prophecies' with him under the 'rehabilitation' of the proven false prophet Rick Joyner. This was the only true fruit of Lakeland before scandal saw that haunt if demons fold up and close down amidst the notorious history of the Strader family one of whom is in prison as a swindler for 30 years. No one in their right mind can call such moral debauchery a revival. But in his assault on Andrew Strom this is precisely what Randy Clark poses to do, this is sick.
My challenge to confront Randy Clark in open recorded debate stand and I thank The Lord for the brethren such as Andrew Strom and a few others like him who by the grace of Jesus saw through the erroneous nature of the deception in which they were once ensconced and in the case of Andrew , who has had the integrity to tell the honest, factual, and scriptural truth concerning it.
In Jesus,
James Jacob Prasch Moriel"

23/24th september 2015 cern and the entrance of evil?

September 2015 is supposedly a significant month according to a number of speculators.

CERN! The European Organization for Nuclear Research is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), is located on the Swiss/French border. The LHC consists of a 27 kilometer ring of superconducting magnets with a number of accelerating structures to boost the energy of the particles along the way. CERN are using particle accelerators and detectors and are probing the fundamental structure of the universe.....in order to gain insights into the fundamental laws of nature. CERN refers to itself as the "Gateway to the Universe".
http://home.web.cern.ch/about

ROME! A massive tunnel runs along a natural fault line in the mountains from the controversial Gran Sasso Laboratory which is about 120 kilometers north of Rome in Italy to CERN in Switzerland. CERN claims to send neutrinos (light, neutral particles that hardly interact with matter) to Gran Sasso (CNGS) via this tunnel.
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/science/8782895/CERN-scientists-break-the-speed-of-light.html
http://www.fix.net/wreil/Gran-Sasso-Trip-Technical.htm
 
"Environmentalists noted that the nuclear physics laboratory would lie on or near two major and highly active seismic faults, that construction of the tunnels would interfere with a major aquifer, and that construction waste would degrade an environmentally sensitive and significant area." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gran_Sasso_d%27Italia

CERN is completely autonomous and is not subject to the national laws of either Switzerland or France. Basically CERN is an independent "country" with its own constitution. CERN enjoys massive international collaboration and employs scientists from many countries.
http://aliceinfo.cern.ch/Public/en/Chapter3/Chap3Collaboration-en.html

WHY IS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION THE THEME OF CERN?

OMINOUS SIGNS:
  • The 666 CERN logo is an unmistakable reference to evil, i.e. the number and mark of the beast in the Bible (Revelation 13:18).
  • The statue of Lord Nataraja depicting the Hindu god Shiva (the Hindu god of destruction) in the grounds of CERN is very ominous. 
  • The bizarre film Symmetry filmed on location at CERN featured the Shiva Dance of Destruction. 
  • The name CERN is derived from the acronym for the French "Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire". CERN also stands for Cernunnos, the horned demon god of the underworld, sometimes referred to as Hern the Hunter or Lord of the Hunt. Nimrod mighty hunter against the Lord (Genesis 10:9) is another link to the Antichrist.
  • Large areas of CERN are situated at Saint-Genis-Pouilly, originally a small Roman city which it is said took its name from the Latin Appolliacum. Both the temple and the town were dedicated to Apollos/Apollyon and were believed to be a gateway to the underworld. In other words we have a link to the king, an angel of the bottomless pit/Abyss whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in Greek Apollyon (Destroyer) (Revelation 9:11). The scriptures seem to distinguish between Satan and Apollyon, Apollyon appears to be a destroying demon ruler of the Abyss.
  • According to author and researcher, Anthony Patch, ancient Sanskrit writings on glass plates at CERN disclose information about bringing back the former gods and spirits, the Age of Illumination, and the Year of Light. I am unable to find confirmation of this from any other source, but why aren't CERN giving the interpretation of these strange writings and symbols?
 

CERN SHIVA STATUE



AUTUMNAL EQUINOX WEDNESDAY 23RD SEPTEMBER

The godless people at CERN are following a ritualistic calendar in true occultic fashion. CERN was re-started after two years around the time of the vernal/spring equinox on the 20th of March. This date was also the date of a full celestial solar eclipse and the supermoon/perigee moon. The LHC will be at its highest level in September, the time of the autumnal equinox. In mysticism, the autumn equinox allegedly represents the thinning of the veil representing a spiritual descent into darkness and death.

"The mystic walking the path must descend into the Abyss to face their own inner darkness—the evil of the egos and subconscious—to prepare for the birth of the god of light within, celebrated at the winter solstice."  http://100layers.org/author/marien/page/3/
  
Cern Globe of Science and Innovation

CERN'S antichrist agenda via the "God particle"  is to accomplish a complete denial of God as the creator of the universe. 

All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. (John 1:3).

WHY DO THE NATIONS CONSPIRE AGAINST THE LORD?  

Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.

Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.

Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. 
(Psalm 2: 1-12). 

Question: What is the relationship between dark matter, hell and the demonic? 
Question: What effect does dark matter have on the human psyche?

I am not qualified to argue from a scientific perspective about dark matter, but more to the point, neither are the scientists at CERN! Information coming from CERN themselves is alarming. CERN’s Director, General Rolf Heuer, has openly admitted that one of the overall aims of the LHC is to open a portal to another dimension.

General Rolf Heuer: "When we open the door, something might come through it into our reality! Or, we might send something through it into their reality!"

CERN's Director of Research, Sergio Bertolucci:“Out of this door might come something, or we might send something through it.”

bottomless pit / abyss
Some are speculating that CERN's interdimensional "door" may very well create a portal for the demonic! The emphatic statement: Just as it was in the days of Noah..... and Lot (Matthew 24:37-38; Luke 17:26-28) is certainly an end time scenario when there will be interaction between fallen angels and humans. There have been unsubstantiated reports of apparitions and paranormal activity at CERN. Some eyewitnesses say that they have seen Nephilim creatures coming through the LHC.


CERN employees brandishing a key (Revelation 9:1)

  • Astrophysicist Neil de Grasse Tyson has also raised concerns that the experiments being planned and conducted at CERN are a legitimate danger to the future of mankind.  
  • American Scientist, Dr Walter Wagner says that CERN are guilty of "subterfuge" due to disparity between their experiments and the information released by them to the general public. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RrwgLAS040

PREDICTIVE PROGRAMMING

It appears that the writers of the Simpsons "accidentally" discovered the mass of the Higgs boson in 1998, 14 years prior to its official discovery! This in fact tells us that we cannot believe a word that CERN say!



CERN CELEBRATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL YEAR OF LIGHT 2015

CERN BULLETIN: "The year 2015, a century after the publication of Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity in 1915, has been proclaimed the International Year of Light and light-based technologies by the UN General Assembly. CERN is taking this opportunity to communicate information about the High Luminosity LHC project and CERN’s involvement in the SESAME synchrotron project in Jordan. In addition, light has been chosen as the main theme of CERN’s participation in the 2015 Researchers’ Night..... 'Light' as 'luminosity' will be the underlying theme of the communication campaign launched to increase awareness of CERN’s High Luminosity LHC (HL-LHC)." http://cds.cern.ch/journal/CERNBulletin/2015/04/News%20Articles/1980905?ln=en

The above is a thinly cloaked reference to Lucifer, the light bearer or luminous son of the morning who transforms himself into an angel of Light (2 Corinthians 11:14) The Antichrist will be a counterfeit Christ bringing supposed wisdom and light (Luke 11:35). 

SEPTEMBER 20TH - THE UNITED NATIONS INTERNATIONAL DAY OF PEACE

THE POPE will visit the US on the 22nd of September. During his visit he will speak at the 70th United Nations General Assembly in New York. The UN Sustainable Development Summit (September 25th to September 27th) plans to launch a plan for managing the entire globe. The Pope will meet President Barack Obama in Washington on the 23rd and address Congress on the 24th. He will also attend international Catholic conference, the World Meeting of Families Philadelphia. 

LAURENT FABIUS THE FOREIGN MINISTER OF FRANCE WARNED OF 500 DAYS OF CLIMATE CHANGE on the 13th of May 2014, which brings us to the 24th of September exactly:
“And very important issues, issue of climate change, climate chaos,” the foreign minister said. “And we have – as I said, we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos, and I know that President Obama and John Kerry himself are committed on this subject and I’m sure that with them, with a lot of other friends, we shall be able to reach success on this very important matter.”
20-26 SEPTEMBER 2015: WORLD WEEK FOR PEACE IN PALESTINE ISRAEL 

"This annual observance of a week of prayer, education, and advocacy calls participants to work for an end to the illegal occupation of Palestine, so that Palestinians and Israelis can finally live in peace. It has been 66 years since the creation of the State of Israel. This has not led to the creation of an independent Palestinian state but has only deepened the tragedy of the Palestinian people. It is now 47 years since the occupation of East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza overwhelmed the peaceful vision of one land, two peoples." https://www.oikoumene.org/en/press-centre/events/world-week-for-peace-in-palestine-israel 

25-27 SEPTEMBER 2015: TOMORROWLAND ATLANTA GEORGIA
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=USYeFLQpmlI 

Yom Kippur, the Jewish Day of Atonement and Jubilee year is 10 Tishrei i.e. the 22-23rd September. 2015 is also the 70th Shemitah.

Cryptic references to the dates on or around September 23, 2015, through films, TV, music and politicians have all played a part in this sick deception .

ARE THE STORM CLOUDS GATHERING IN OUR GENERATION?

There are various questionable speculations circulating about various convergences during September. Some have linked CERN's experiments to the mass demonic incursion in the Book of Revelation when "locusts" (Exodus 10:12-20; Joel 1:4, 2:4-14), are released from the Abyss to inflict five months of torment upon the earth during the fifth trumpet of Revelation. (Revelation 9:1-4). However, we have not yet seen the fulfillment of the preceding seals (Revelation 6:1-17), or the four trumpets, which chronologically precede the fifth trumpet. (Revelation 8:6-12). A "star" (angel) will be given the key to the bottomless pit and will open the shaft of the Abyss, not CERN. The entities presently held in the Abyss cannot leave that sphere without God's permission! (Revelation 9:1-6). Ironically, the locusts released from the Abyss will inflict torture upon those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads. (Revelation 9:4-5).

It would be foolish to ignore the fact that Satan is taking the world to a new level of evil in these perilous times! After all, Jesus Christ castigated the Pharisees and Sadducees for not knowing the signs of the times (Matthew 16:3). I am not a pre-tribulation rapture adherent, and I do not link these events to the rapture of the church. They may be related in some way to the rise of the Antichrist, who will eventually make a seven year covenant with death (Isaiah 28:14-18), or what some refer to as "the seven year tribulation", though actually the great tribulation is three and a half years (Matthew 24:21; Daniel 7:25, 12:7, Revelation 12:14). The first seal in the Book of Revelation is the appearance of the white horse, whose rider is the the Antichrist (Revelation 6:1-2).

The most significant sign of the end times is the nation of Israel. Israel was recognised as a sovereign state in 1948 for the first time since 70AD. God promised Abraham that his posterity would have Canaan as “an everlasting possession” (Genesis 17:8), and Ezekiel prophesied a physical and spiritual resuscitation of Israel (Ezekiel 37). The nation of Israel is important in light of end times prophecy because of its prominence in eschatology (Daniel 10:14; 11:41; Revelation 11:8).

We need to keep a close watch on all these events.

MATTHEW 24:5-28
 
As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?” And Jesus answered them, “See that no one leads you astray. For many will come in my name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and they will lead many astray. And you will hear of wars and rumours of wars. See that you are not alarmed, for this must take place, but the end is not yet. For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and there will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are but the beginning of the birth pains. 

"Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and put you to death, and you will be hated by all nations for my name’s sake. And then many will fall away and betray one another and hate one another. And many false prophets will arise and lead many astray. And because lawlessness will be increased, the love of many will grow cold. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
“So when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place (let the reader understand), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let the one who is on the housetop not go down to take what is in his house, and let the one who is in the field not turn back to take his cloak. And alas for women who are pregnant and for those who are nursing infants in those days! Pray that your flight may not be in winter or on a Sabbath. For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been from the beginning of the world until now, no, and never will be. And if those days had not been cut short, no human being would be saved. But for the sake of the elect those days will be cut short. Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There he is!’ do not believe it. For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you beforehand. So, if they say to you, ‘Look, he is in the wilderness,’ do not go out. If they say, ‘Look, he is in the inner rooms,’ do not believe it. For as the lightning comes from the east and shines as far as the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever the corpse is, there the vultures will gather.

See also: 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Timothy 3:1-13; 2 Thessalonians 2:3. 

Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:9-12)

Addendum - 1st November 2015:
After a query from a reader, I must add I do not endorse the teachings of Hadron Collider researcher, Anthony Patch. Patch now seems to have "disappeared" after issuing a statement saying that he will no longer be reporting CERN related information.

John McGinley Holy Trinity Church Leicester: Destination Babylon Full Steam Ahead!!!

It is utterly heartbreaking to read John McGinley's news on Twitter that he attended Bill Johnson's European Leaders Advance 2015.  https://twitter.com/johnmcginleyhtl  

I have written previously about Bill Johnson and Bethel Church in Redding, California. Bill Johnson is one of the most dangerous false teachers of our time. This is not my opinion alone, but many others are warning about him. I am utterly shocked and horrified that John McGinley should entertain such a person, and in turn infect others with the lies of Satan. As I write this post I am wondering whether McGinley knows exactly what he is doing (2 Corinthians 11:13-15), or whether he has gone that far into error that the Lord has given him over to a depraved mind (Romans 1:28). Whatever the case, McGinley is playing with fire and he is putting the precious souls in his congregation in great danger of hell. I have previously written that Holy Trinity plays host to a whole plethora of false teachings:
http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/new-wine-deception-holy-trinity-church.html
http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/bill-johnsons-sozo-poison-occult.html

An important question to ask is: Why does the Bible warn us repeatedly about false teachers and false prophets if they are not a real and present danger to our faith and salvation? (Matthew 7:15; 24:3-12; 2 Corinthians 11:13; 1 Timothy 4:1; 2 Peter 2:1-3; Jude 1:4 etc.) 

I will go over some of the material I have covered in the past for the sake of the people who attend Holy Trinity in the hope that the Lord will help any that are truly seeking the truth, and that they will find a way of escape from the lies of Satan (1 Corinthians 10:1-22).

Firstly, it is imperative to understand that the scriptures are God's inerrant Word, they are God breathed and inspired by the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16; 2 Peter 1:19-21; John 17:17; Psalm 19:7). Jesus Christ is the Word (John 1:14). The pure teaching of Jesus Christ and the apostles has come to us at great cost, beginning with the Lord Himself, then the apostles and also martyrs like William Tyndale who gave their lives to make it possible for us to receive the gospel. The scriptures make it very clear that nothing should be added or taken away from the word of God (Deuteronomy 4:2; 12:32; Joshua 1:7; Proverbs 30:6; Matthew 28:20 Revelation 22:18-19). It is very simple - the scriptures are our point of reference, they are the test for whatever teaching comes to us, so that we can discern true or false doctrines (1 John 4:1). Once we have this settled, then with the help of the Holy Spirit, things become much clearer and easier to discern.

If we reject the authority of the scriptures then everything is lost - we are either relying on human opinion (Proverbs 18:2; 28:26; Jeremiah 14:14; 23:9-40) or doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1).

Jesus answer to Satan when he misrepresented God's word: "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God." (Matthew 4:4)

Those who reject the scriptures as the inerrant word of God are actually rejecting Jesus Christ! God warns us that in the time just prior to His return there will be an end time rebellion (apostasia) and that he will send a deluding influence upon those who refuse to love the truth so that they will believe what is false. (2 Thessalonians 2:1-12)  Much of Christendom has now departed from the truth and is in open rebellion against God. This warning therefore applies to what we know as "the church" just as much as to false religions and unbelievers.

As I have pointed out before, Bill Johnson utterly fails the test of scripture. Johnson claims to be an "apostle" with greater revelation than that of the original twelve apostles of Jesus Christ.  As I have demonstrated above, the scriptures are a closed cannon, they cannot be "updated"; nothing can be added to taken away from them. The teachings and the "manifestations" coming from Johnson and Bethel Church are completely demonic in many cases and an abomination to God, for instance their practice of Gravesucking (witchcraft and necromancy), open heaven experiences, manifestations such as gold flakes, glory clouds, angel feathers, angel orbs, and much, much more. Please read my previous posts about Bethel Church and Johnson:

http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/david-hind-trinity-life-church.html http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/grave-sucker-bill-johnson-to-join.html

Three Questions are asked of Johnson in the above Video:
Does God ever cause sickness?
Does God ever choose not to heal?
What was Paul's thorn in the flesh?

Johnson: "You can only give away what you have. Can God give away sickness? No - He is not sick." 

GOD IS SOVEREIGN!!!

The hand of the LORD was heavy against the people of Ashdod, and he terrified and afflicted them with tumors, both Ashdod and its territory. (1 Samuel 5:6) 

Behold, I will throw her onto a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her I will throw into great tribulation, unless they repent of her works.....  (Revelation 2:22)

Though the Lord can and does heal, it is pure presumption to assume that He always heals his people as Johnson asserts:

Erastus remained at Corinth, and I left Trophimus, who was ill, at Miletus. (2 Timothy 4:20)

No longer drink only water, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments. 2 Timothy 4:20)

I am not disputing that Bill Johnson is a very clever man. These lies slip off his tongue so easily, but he cannot back them up with the scriptures!

Experience should never trump doctrine. Let your faith be based in the scriptures, not on subjective manifestations. No matter how profound, supernatural, or popular any ministry claims to be, measure everything against the written Word of God.

See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ. (Colossians 2:8)

the saul syndrome: howard conder's wilful rebellion against god - revelation tv

The incredible delusion of Howard Conder still does not fail to astonish me. Actually I have come to believe that it is far worse than delusion, Conder is in wilful rebellion against God.

Watch The Late Show Tuesday the 23rd of June 2015 from about 5:30 minutes in - Conder's remarks last for about three and a half minutes (thankfully not too long to endure).
http://www.revelationtv.com/programmes/episode/the-late-show407359

The Saul Syndrome

It is significant that Howard Conder's behaviour mirrors that of King Saul (1 Samuel 15:1-34). Saul disobeyed God's command to ".....go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them....." (1 Samuel 15:3). He was confronted by Samuel after he had spared King Agag and all he considered "good" (1 Samuel 15:1-9,13). Saul's reaction - he made excuses and insisted that he had performed the commandment of the Lord (1 Samuel 15:20). King Saul had an “above the law” (lawless) mentality, and when challenged by God's prophet, his attitude was that of denial and self-justification rather than repentance. Samuel's response: “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the oxen that I hear?” (1 Samuel 15:14) We might rephrase Samuel's question and ask Howard Conder: What is this bleating of false teachers in my ears and the lies that I hear?

We might also repeat Samuel's further questions and ask Howard Conder:

Why then did you not obey the voice of the Lord
Why did you pounce on the spoil and do what was evil in the sight of the Lord? 
(1 Samuel 15:19)

The commandment of God:

For an overseer, as God’s steward, must be above reproach. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain, but hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, and disciplined. He must hold firm to the trustworthy word as taught, so that he may be able to give instruction in sound doctrine and also to rebuke those who contradict it. (Titus 1:7-9) Conder actually promotes false doctrines!

See also Romans 16:17; 2 Peter 2:1-3; 1 John 4:1-3; Matthew 7:15-20; 1 Timothy 1:3, 10; 1; 4:1-5, 6:3, 20-21; 2 Timothy 4:3; Titus 2:1; 3:10 etc. etc.

Conder has flagrantly ignored clear and repeated scriptural warnings about the false teachers/doctrines that he promotes. This is nothing short of outright rebellion against God, and yet he continues to air these false teachers, even admitting that they are "iffy" (1 Samuel 15:23). Just like King Saul, Conder continues to persist in his arrogant rebellion, insisting that he does follow the Lord, despite all the evidence to the contrary.

Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and a harmful spirit from the LORD tormented him. (1 Samuel 16:14)

After the Lord had abandoned him, Saul degenerated into a cluster of abnormal behaviours - mood swings, anxiety, paranoia, depression, outbursts of anger, obsession (he saw traitors everywhere), false accusations, threats etc. Conder suffers from a similar cluster of abnormal behaviours doesn't he? He openly admits suffering from mood swings, depression and suicidal thoughts; he is well known for his unfortunate outbursts of anger, and he is not averse to making false accusations and issuing vile personal threats against his critics. Through his sinful behaviour, Conder has created his own false reality in order to control others for personal gain through lies, manipulation, and sympathy through outward displays of self-created suffering, hardship and victimhood.  http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/revelation-tv-howard-conder-breathes.html

Today we would probably label Saul's condition unipolar depression or bipolar affective disorder. There is also a condition called cognitive dissonance, a condition of conflict or anxiety resulting from inconsistency between one’s beliefs and one’s actions. However, Saul did not have a medical condition, the Bible tells us specifically that he was tormented by an evil spirit from God. Saul ended very badly in out and out witchcraft at En-dor (1 Samuel 28:7), and he ended his own life by by suicide (1 Samuel 31:1-7). Conder also seeks out mediums and false prophets, though he does it under the guise of Christianity.

So Saul died for his breach of faith. He broke faith with the LORD in that he did not keep the command of the LORD, and also consulted a medium, seeking guidance. (1 Chronicles 10:13)

FALSE VALIDATION

It was false prophet Jonathan David who first implanted the delusional idea into Conder's mind that he was going to be a modern day “Elijah” in 1994. I have already discussed Jonathan David's "Elijah Prophecy" over Conder in a separate post: http://bewareofthewolves.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/revelation-tv-howard-conders-delusional.html

Now apparently we have another false prophet "encouraging" Conder's self-delusion and rebellion:

Conder:  "A dear man of God who calls me quite regularly, and he did again today, because I had a terrible day yesterday. I mean you don't know this, but actually behind the scenes, the mask and everything, I was at pretty much at walking away point. I get there often but don't worry. God has allowed me to go through these times..... and I am really in a terrific mood today. Yesterday the enemy was whispering in my ear 'take your life', how stupid can you get..... Today the other..... my God is whispering in my ear and He (God) has also reminded me of what He spoke through this man of God who spoke to me today and actually just gives me such encouragement and I want to thank that man of God. He wrote on Wednesday the 9th of July at 9:30am 2008, he actually spoke to me on the phone, but he wrote it down."

"Howard I saw a dark cloudy sky, but in the distance was a shaft of bright sunshine..... The Lord would say to you; 'I have given you over to Satan to test you and to try you, even though when you look at the circumstances, it will look terrible. Do not fret for I have given my angels to watch over you. I am calling you to set your face towards the light, and you will reach that light. You have called out saying "Why me Lord I am old and tired and when can I relax?"' The Lord would say to you Howard that - 'There will be plenty of time to relax, but now I have a job for you to do, and very few people with the right heart to do my calling. I have called you for this special purpose at this special time and I will give you the tools you need, and the finances you require. The enemy has set his face against you, and he has set his face against my people, Israel. You will win and you must set your face and your mind and your heart towards me. Whatever happens, don't look back or sideways, for if you do you will miss my best. Howard, you know I have had my hand on you from the beginning, even though you thought you could do it your way, you have discovered it is better to walk in my ways. I will watch over your family and I have set a fence around them, so have no fear for I have a plan and a purpose that I am working out. Be willing to allow me to direct your path; it is what you wanted so don't be surprised and I have much more in store for you to accomplish and a shaft of light that you will receive when you come out from under the clouds. Be at peace and watch me work.'"

Indeed there are very few people who have the right heart to do God's calling, and Howard Conder cannot possibly be one of them. Conder thinks he has a calling for a "special purpose" from the Lord - this smacks of  narcissism! A person with a genuine calling from God does not find it necessary to repeatedly justify their ministry in order to convince others as Conder frequently does. Anyone with God's calling on their life will walk in the light as he is in the light (1 John 1:7). Genuine ministers of the Lord hold on to sound doctrine as a priority, despite having personal faults and weaknesses (Titus 1:9). Like Saul, Conder has disqualified himself from the ministry because he has rejected the word of the Lord (1 Samuel 15:26). Jacob Prasch makes an interesting point in the video below: Once leaders depart from the truth and are unable to validate themselves biblically, they have to seek other ways to validate themselves. They do not hear from the Lord any more, and so they have to find other ways to convince people that they are who they claim to be. This is precisely what Conder does - he attempts to justify his "ministry" by citing spurious sources in order to achieve validation. To fail the test of scripture concerning faithfulness to the teaching of Christ and the apostles is to fail at the first hurdle, and to attempt to back it up with questionable false prophecies is abominable. Conder originally claimed validation from Jonathan David's false "prophecy", given in 1994. Now he has cited this 2008 "prophecy" from an unnamed source which is equally ridiculous. If someone has the audacity to speak in the first person of the Lord, then my advice is to be very, very wary. I do not say that from a cessationist point of view by the way.

NARCISSISM:

"A preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success. True narcissists are not interested in truth or reality — or you. They concoct a vision of success that becomes their obsession. These fantasies are often bred by the vain promises of church growth gurus and images presented by megachurches and television ministries. In the mean time, present reality is usually overstated. When contradictory facts and figures are submitted it makes them angry, and the messenger is denounced as negative."

It is my opinion that God Himself has set his face against Howard Conder. He is not being tested/tried by Satan as this so called "man of God" claims. Why would God allow Satan to test someone who has already failed the test of faith and compromised the gospel? God allows Satan to test the blameless, not the unfaithful (Job 1:8; Matthew 4:1; Revelation 2:9-10).

Conder: "......I do get those dark moments and the enemy wants to destroy not only me but Revelation TV. It's not my vision, its God's... so he or she who comes against this vision, woe betide you because its not me that you are putting down, but God has a will and purpose, even though I am absolute rubbish, a sinner I fail miserably etc. etc.

Conder is presumptuous enough even to think that he can issue threats on God's behalf! When these false teachers can't answer scripturally, they resort to pathetic fear tactics and threats. False prophet Benny Hinn places curses all who dare to speak a word against his ministry: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wAQ5ftiEqE  

Each of us will give an account of ourselves to God on the day of judgement (Matthew 12:36). I would not like to be in Conder's shoes on that day.

A WARNING

Talking of woes, perhaps Conder should consider the far reaching consequences of Saul's rebellion beyond his own death. There were disastrous consequences for his family, his associates and his followers (1 Chronicles 10:6; 1 Samuel 31:6; 2 Samuel 21:1-14); it even brought a famine on the land (2 Samuel 21:1). There is indeed a famine in the land in our time - a famine of hearing the word of of the Lord (Amos 8:11). In contradiction to the false prophecy promising a "fence" around Conder's family, I believe that there will be devastating consequences for his rebellion, not only for himself, but for his family, his associates and his followers. God is not mocked (Galatians 6:7).

Some say that we continue to struggle with the consequences of Saul's disobedience even to this day. Haman the Agagite was considered to be an Amalekite (Esther 3:1).We cannot know who the descendants of Amalek are today, but some link them with the present day enemies of the Jews. I (God) shall surely erase the memory of Amalek from under the heavens...God maintains a war against Amalek from generation to generation." (Exodus 17:14-16) 

People like Conder who promote doctrines of demons are God's enemies - they leave a terrible legacy. They facilitate Satan's agenda to deceive and destroy (Daniel 8:25). Those who fail to uphold sound doctrine are like Saul, they compromise the Lord's work and become his enemies.

In my view, the likelihood of people like Conder being open to help is negligible. When confronted by their sinful behaviour, people like Saul and Conder usually become harder and harder - they refuse to take the right way out which is repentance. Though I do hope that Conder does repent, my concern lies primarily with the people that he is deceiving.

For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial? Or what portion does a believer share with an unbeliever? What agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; as God said, 

“I will make my dwelling among them and walk among them,
and I will be their God,
and they shall be my people.
Therefore go out from their midst,
and be separate from them, says the Lord,
and touch no unclean thing;
then I will welcome you,
and I will be a father to you,
and you shall be sons and daughters to me,
says the Lord Almighty.”
(2 Corinthians 6:14-18) 

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues; (Revelation 18:4. See also Jeremiah 51:45)
