The following post was first published on my blog on August 23, 2013. With the rise of men and women calling themselves prophets, many people need to hear its warning more than ever. The Bible is clear: false prophets are wolves that devour unsuspecting sheep. Jesus said: “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves.” (Matthew 7:15) And the apostle Paul had this to say about false teachers. “I know that after my departure fierce wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves will...

One of the core beliefs at Bethel Church in Redding, California, is the need for new revelation from God, which is in contrast to the so-called old revelation of the Bible as it has been understood for the past 2,000 years. New revelation can refer to many different things. It includes knowledge about what’s currently taking place in heaven and new interpretations of Scripture that are based on direct revelation from the Holy Spirit, apart from a historical and grammatical hermeneutic. It also includes what Johnson calls “new revelation of Jesus.” And it includes creative ideas–such as fresh music lyrics...

Limitless and eternity walk in tandem, In other words they both speak I AM, The power and knowledge of all that is or can be, The the sum of which is infinity, to walk and breathe yeah exist in and through all, Understanding that there is no wall, Nothing can stop the synergy, Of The Creator for I AM HE, Job 38 38 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said, 2 Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge? 3 Gird up now your loins like a man, and I will demand of you,...

I believe that the Lord laid this word of direction and affirmation on my heart: "My children, put all fear of the future aside and know above all else that you will be led by Me. Know and understand that you will be shown the way. "I have covenant blessings to release and now is the appointed time. New treasures and new authority are found on new roads of surrender. Those who climb mountains only travel with that which is necessary to succeed; they travel as lightly as possible and only with the essentials. ...

An ICA 'APOSTLE' SPEAKS OUT on LAKELAND -Andrew Strom. [With huge thanks to RevivalSchool member 'SoulDan' for his help]. First, let me start by saying that Robert Ricciardelli has been incredibly bold and courageous in speaking out on this issue in recent days. He is one of the very few from NAR circles who have dared to speak up - firstly on blogs and on the radio - and even on our own Forum at RevivalSchool.com, etc. Robert is a member - a "marketplace apostle" in Peter Wagner's "International Coalition of Apostles" (ICA). He is the real deal. For him...

Verified” Lakeland Resurrection from the Dead was a Lie Thanks to poster ’Arise My Love’ for pointing this video out here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=toGYy-H3pCw&feature=related From 6.20 minutes onwards on the video explains how the Fresh Fires Ministries passed through their ‘audit’ process an email, and Todd Bentley read out this same email of an alleged raising from the dead, without even attempting to check out any of the facts, let alone verifying them. Update 17th July: despite explictly being told the story was false, they haven’t retracted this story from their website or verbally.

Chuck Pierce and Kabbalah: The Month of Iyar Last week, I posted an article exposing the occultic origins of Chuck Pierce's so-called "ministry," explaining that most of what he claims are "Words from the Lord" actually comes from astrology and Kabbalah (a New Age form of Jewish Mysticism). The latest post from Chuck Pierce is just more evidence that "Dr." Chuck Pierce is not a Christian minister, but an adherant of another religion, Kabbalah. According to him (and Kabbalah), we have just entered the Hebrew month of "Iyar." Here's a comparison of what Chuck Pierce and Kabbalah have to say:...

If you’ve ever read any of Chuck Pierce’s so-called prophecies, you will have undoubtedly noticed that the man seems to have a vocabulary all his own, using words which, to the uninitiated, make absolutely no sense at all — at least in the Christian context in which Mr. Pierce chooses to frame his words. I’m talking here of words like shift, atmosphere, earth realm, energy, alignment, pillar and so on. Many of his writings also seems to place an unusual emphasis on colors, sounds and vibrations. It is tempting to just dismiss him as a nut and not give him...
