The Prophetic Movement
I’ve had many questions both locally and online, about why I do not support and in fact teach against the prophetic movement. So I have listed five basic reasons (there are many more) why I warn against the prophetic movement. Here is the list starting with number five:
5. Generational curse theology is a control mechanism that runs on fear and guilt. But the Bible says: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear but of power, and of love and of a sound mind.” 2 Tim 1:7 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit." Rom 8:1 "There is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." That name is Jesus the Christ, the Son of God. "It's Christ in you the hope of glory." Col 1:27 Your only hope of glory is Christ in you. "Not by works of righteousness that we have done but, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost." Tit 3:5
4. They are working to build a physical army (Joel' Army) to take the world by force. They believe Christ CAN'T come back until they have subdued Satan and rule the world. Jesus has defeated Satan. The bible speaks of Jesus coming "as a thief in the night." 1 Thes 5:2 Jesus said his kingdom not of this world. John 18:36
3. The focus is wholly on performance based religion. But the Bible says: ”For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." Eph 2:8-9
2. Inviting spirits, drumming ceremonies, psychic prophets, angels shedding feathers, angels giving jewels, seventh heaven anointing oil, God might show up if we do things right. All these are practices that come out of spiritualism and witchcraft. The Bible says: 2 Corinthians 6:14-18 “Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.”
1. There is a fundamental dishonesty about the purpose of the "church." The smiley public side of the coin is about being cool, casual and accepting different viewpoints. The private side is about greed, exclusivity and control. Their modern psychic prophets claim to supersede the written word of God. There is no attempt to "rightly divide the Word of truth." There is an effort to try not to seem too Christian, avoiding Christian jargon. Under the guise of being “relevant” they avoid quoting scripture or talking about the bible, but just socialize to draw people in.” But the Bible says: Romans 1:16-17 "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, the just shall live by faith.
May God be true and every man a liar.
