It will be about ‘believers’real or outward in the last times wanting teachers that teach what they want to hear as their spiritual ears or hearing ‘itches’and wants these wonder or miracle workers and visions,etc.

Paul predicts they will place these charisamatic teachers above the Word as they won’t endure or as it says in the Greek NT ‘tolerate’ sound doctrine. They surround attention on the teachers and their ‘third heaven’ type experiences,like his angel “Emma”(there are only angels with masculine names in Scripture-Emma is not a Jewish type name-it is Anglo- as all the known angels in the Bible-each name in the Word translates to a reference to God-like Michael ) Todd Bentley,which is more due to his “excessive drinking,”which is well known to those that have investigated him,etc.

“STUDY to show yourself approved to God ,a workman that needs not be ashamed RIGHTLY dividing the Word of Truth.’ ll Timothy 3:16

Paul said “Some shall depart from the faith” or system of teachings in the NT.

I don’t trust large, money spinning ministries that depend their lot on the feeble and impressionable. If I were a christian, I’d attend chrch at a down to earth, with simple albiet peaceful folk that are helmed by a wise and measured religious man who walks the talk.

Peace be with you my friends.

These are the end times – people having itchy ears who would not hear sound doctrines from the Bible, but prefer false renditions and perversions concocted by the servants of the devil for their own destruction.

On Lord be merciful unto all of us – cast Thy light on those who are engulfed by the dark cloud of the beast and his master.

I am aghast for these people who are lifting up Todd Bentley. It is absolutely horrible to hear all of them screaming to catch the wave of the anointing.

What about weeping before the Lord and crying about for people to repent of their sins and that they would go out in mulititudes preaching the Gospel?

This country (USA) needs an army of evangelists to preach the Gospel above anything else, to help bring people back to God, to a reverence for His holiness and righteousness.

bentley does say ‘holy goat’. it is a DEFINITE ‘holy goat’.

i tried to listen for ‘Holy God’ or ‘Holy Ghost’…but nope, it definitely was ‘holy goat’. no ‘h’ ‘s’ or ‘d’ inflection noted at all.

fruedian slip?

hehehe, what do you think?

i have been asked to attend conferences by my pastor and the prayer team ministry. some of them include ‘speakers’ (using that term respectfully as possible) by todd bentley, lou engles, bob jones, che ahn etc etc etc (it seems like an incestuous group imo) and so little scripture is truly spoken, not only is it alarming, it is basically blasphemous. their usual entire tirade is about how great each other are, how anointed they are, how miraculous things CONSTANTLY happen to them as if were no different than waiting for the toast to pop up.

there is a definite hunger from people wanting more God in their life. they want confirmation via visible signs and stories. they want it all and they want it now.

what better way than to tell tales of ‘god experiences’? this, imo, is self glorification. it does not edify God. it does not bring any glory to God.

are we to judge these people? yes and no. i will not ‘judge’ them by the standards of God, for that is always left to God…but i feel that as a Christian and caring human being, it is important to raise questions on the validity, sincerity and Godliness of their intentions. after all, we are talking about ones eternal salvation, right? not self glorification.

I do what I can for my Lord’s glory.

Dear sis:

Thank you for the encouragement! I think Charles Spurgeon is right on this account — I’ve been observing this church for awhile, and all I can say is that the gradient of the slope they are on is getting more steep and definitely more slippery!

Ministry Addict:

I’ve heard of Joseph Prince, but unlike what I’ve observed, read and heard from Kong Hee, I currently do not know him well enough to form a fair opinion.

I hope you will excuse my inability to give you a satisfactory reply at this time. All I know from sources is that he also preaches the prosperity message, but I’ve yet to fully verify that for myself.

Shalom.

I’m in total agreement. It’s spreading from the US to the rest of the world. This is so heart-breaking! It’s better to spread the TRUE gospel then a bunch of lies. Charles Spurgeon made a comment to the effect that once a church goes down the slippery slope of error it’s next to impossible to bring them back. (I guess this could apply to a nation, as well.) Keep taking a stand on the truth of God’s Word there in Singapore, brother!
