‘Prophet’ John Anosike is the President and Senior Pastor of New World Faith Ministries ~ (Spirit Revelation Ecclesia), a “multi-cultural, highly dynamic ministry with a membership of over 8000” in Cape Town, South Africa.
More particularly, he’s a prosperity-preaching heretic who routinely claims to raise people from the dead, commit miraculous healings like curing cancer and AIDS, and regrowing lost limbs. He routinely takes trips to heaven when he hangs out with Jesus and God, getting supernatural and direct revelation which he then returns to earth and shares.
He describes himself as “The Last Trumpet” and the “custodian of a dimension” that he’s come to bring into the world so that “men can access the dimension.” He’s claimed for certainty that Jesus is not coming back in the next 100 years because the church is too sick, divided, and disorganized and has pledged to write a series of books that will “change the world and bring about the final revival preceding rapture, the great harvest!”
In a recent promo compilation video (where he added some visual effects) he speaks of the importance of getting the “power of God,” which he says will protect Christians from all illness and ailment. Anosike shows off to the congregants some of the Holy Spirit’s power that he’s wielding, which looks more like he’s throwing acid on them and then watching them shriek in agony than a genuine move of God.

Or electricity in the seats
The Tingler!
Mass hysteria; paid confederates; willing volunteers; peer pressure. Contagious Behavior.
I’ve been inside church with more than a few Holy Ghost moments.
None of them ever looked like this.
If he truly said he’s been hanging out with God and Jesus, then it’s simply not true.
I don’t want to be a Doubting Thomas because at one point, Jesus could do no work among those who didn’t believe.
But this looks too much like theatrics to me (IMHO).
And yes, I have had Words of Knowledge over the decades. But I’ve not seen anything like the video I just saw.
(The passage I was referring to; but not to excuse this video which frankly looks like a sham to me - duh)
Matthew 13:57-58
King James Version
57 And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.
58 And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.

I’ve seen the Benny Hinn and Keneth Copeland et al where they go off and act nuts but none of them were as creepy as this one. This one is off the charts.
I was actually at a Benny Hinn gathering in the mid-1990’s in California.
Yeah, not even close to this. And no, I did not witness any miracles there. But I also knew no one. So I should say I witnessed nothing around me.
I’m guessing planted and then chosen actors.
Growing limbs...that’s a new one. Creative though!!
Because Jesus is God.
Joseph Smith claimed he hung out with Jesus and God in the woods.
Then he got the “golden plates”.
Stay away from anyplace with the word Temple or Ministries in the title.
I’d flee. That doesn’t look like it’s from Jesus.
Looks more like charlatanism and a false prophet.
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist."
Colossians 1:15-17
Don’t ever underestimate the power of Satan as described in this 2 Thessalonians page...the passage is about the antichrist but the power the antichrist has comes from Satan. The description in verse 9 is “the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders”....
2 Thessalonians 2:3 Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition;
4 Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.
5 Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things?
6 And now ye know what withholdeth that he might be revealed in his time.
7 For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8 And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming:
9 Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
Oh my!!
