Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ( Matthew 4)
I hope the President of the United States is among those who actually denounce the incomprehensibly foolish boasting of South African false Prophet Rodney Howard Browne.
What did He boast about? Why Should the President denounce him?
Browne, who is currently a Pastor in Florida, mocked the whole idea of social distancing, and announced that “ < a HREF="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8118421/Florida-pastor-mocks-coronavirus-social-distancing-orders-says-theyre-pansies.html">Social distancing is for Pansies"
‘The only time the church will close is when the Rapture is taking place’: Florida pastor mocks coronavirus social distancing orders and says his mass sermons will continue since his followers are ‘revivalists, not pansies’
UK Daily Mail
He also claimed to have turned the Zika virus away from America, and that he has plans to do the sam to the Corona Virus. There is a name fo this kind of presumption in Scripture, it is called “Tempting the LORD”.
Why Should President Trump denounce this ‘prophet’? Because there are pictures of Howard Browne laying hands on the President in the Oval office, along with his friends Paula White and other Christian leaders and prominent pastors. Browne’ presumption is dangerous, in the time of a serious , daily plague, an he is making fun of serious efforts to contain the plague.
Where does Howard Browne arrive at such Hutzpah/ He and White and others subscribe to a strain of Heresy called the Manifested Sons of God, which later took the name “Word of Faith ” movement, and most recently the NAR, (New Apostolic Revival). The belief is that in the last days , certain Christian leaders are going to discover that Jesus has given his church virtually all power and authority over sickness , disease and over the Devil, and is waiting for us to recover that power and use it, to set the world right and to defeat all sin and evil.
This ‘revival’ will happen after the restoration of the office of Apostle, and of Prophets in the church who by their own decrees will excercise power and authority in the name of Jesus. Howard Browne is one of these prophets. He became famous for being an instigator of the so called “Laughing Revival” in the 1980’s, which brought Pentecostal churches not states of “Spiritual Drunkenness” , in which people literally crawled on their hands and knees and barked like dogs, banged their heads on the stages and staggered and slurred under the influence of Howad Browne’s “anointing”.
Howard Browne literally called himself “God’ Bartender” and induced pastors in the thousands into trances an drunken states of consciousness in public. He is a dangerous mystic and certainly a false prophet. No He is mocking the idea of quarantine, and precautions about distance.
I believe in Divine healing and that God can do anything He pleases, but I also believe in the Sovereignty of God. We (Christians) are not Supermen, we are actually petty weak and frail, yet we have this treasure in earthen vessels. Furthermore this Plague is serious. Quarantine has precedent in the Bible. Howard Browne did not say America from the Zika virus as h said in the article, and He certainly will not say us from Corona.
He is misusing scripture, ( He has a long history of doing just that) just as the Devil did in the gospel when he used Psalm 91 to try and tempt Jesus to force God to catch him if He jumped off of the Temple. Jesus would have none of it.
“It is written, You Shall Not Put the LORD thy God to the Test!”
Howard Browne reminds me of the false prophets in Jeremiah’s day, who accused His messagings of surrender to the Babylonians as being effeminate, and unworthy of Israel. They had a more ‘masculine’ prophecy… thus they neutralized Jeremiah’s message and the people suffered and died for listening to false prophets. Bware of the fake Brqvado of false Prophets!

Somebody did not use spellcheck.
you got that right, - sorry- I got a bit passionate there, also I didn’t properly post the article , I forgot how the formula went...
Who the hell is this jackass?
Sorry...I don’t care.
He’s speaking the truth. You don’t close churches. They are the beacon of light. Our faith is in God, not govt. This corona hoax is war against America and our freedom. What happened to live free or die.
I do not advocate closing churches either, but shaming people who quarantine is dangerous as is the presumptuous claim that He is driving out Corona as He did Zika. We have small church and are holding services, we are not afraid but neither are we presumptous...
I hope the President of the United States is among those who actually denounce the incomprehensibly foolish boasting of South African false Prophet Rodney Howard Browne.
>I hope so too, however, Rodney Howard Browne is in league with Paula White (as your lead article also brings out), and Paula White is Trump’s “spiritual advisor.”
If Trump were to denounce Rodney Howard Browne, would not this implicate his associate Paula White? And the NAR, which they both are part of?
Were he to denounce the NAR he would be denouncing his strongest supporters.
I Couldn’t agree with you more...
You are right on.
Here is a very interesting you tube video on the whole mess.

He has also written a book about the same thing, which I got and is VERY good. But the clips he shows in this video really add to what the book says, because he tells about it, but when you see it, it really fleshes it out.
Thank you for posting this.
Well, you asked.
If you didn’t want an answer, why did you ask?
Glad to see someone else is taking notice of these things. These NAR types need to be exposed for what they are...heretic nutcases.
What is Trump doing?
First Paula White, now this charlatan?
SMH....
I don’t think Trump has the spiritual maturity yet to discern these wolves in sheep’s clothing.
If there is one trait that he has that I would consider a flaw or weakness, it’s that I think sometimes he’s too trusting.
We really need to pray for His protection from those demonic influences.
Churches are not the “beacon of light”. Believers are. Each believer is an ambassador for God. It is our example of living based on biblical principles that we set for the rest of the world.
Trouble is these days, Christians fail to live by biblical principles. We are commanded to be obedient to government except where it violates fundamental principles such as the government ordering us not to pray. This pastor’s refusal to obey a reasonable government edict is a great illustration of how Christians not only fail to be obedient to government, but fail to be obedient to God’s command under the pretense of religion.
Malachi 3:10
Psalm 91:5-6
You will not fear the terror of the night,
or the arrow that flies by day,
nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the calamity that destroys at noon.
Mark 16:17-18 KJV
And these signs shall follow them that believe.
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Deuteronomy 6:16 KJV
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
