I received a letter from Peter Popoff.
This infamous televangelist, in the past, was
found to be guilty of wearing an earpiece so that
his accomplices in his sound booth could feed him
personal information on people in his audience
while he was claiming to get personal messages
directly from God. This letter proves that,
not only is he back as a regular on TV, he is also
back to his old tricks.

in the Churches How the occult has been fully
integrated into many Christian lives and fellowships by Sandy Simpson
The Bible is quite clear about occult
practices.Neither
Israel
nor the Church is to have anything to do with the way
the world tries to gain secret knowledge.The Gnostics were
and are known for promoting new revelation that is
either loosely tied to Scripture taken out ofcontext or not at
all.The
Israelites seeking information from the dead or in
omens were judged harshly by the Lord who had warned
them numerous times to stay away from that stuff.
Yet due to the influences of
heretical teachers in the New Apostolic Reformation,
Word of Faith, Emergent Church, and the New Age many
have been successful in getting lots of churches and
denominations into occult practices that have been
thinly disguised as “Christian”.Many of those who
follow these people, I’m sure, have no idea how far
they have strayed into the occult.
First I want to give the
dictionary definitions and then Biblical warnings
against these practices.Then
I will give examples in the churches taken mainly from
the ElijahList
e-newsletter.
List of Practices Detestable To God
Deuteronomy 18:9-12 “When
you enter the land which the Lord your God gives
you, you shall not learn to imitate the detestable
things of those nations. There shall not be found
among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter
pass through the fire, one who uses divination,
one who practices witchcraft, or one who
interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who casts
a spell, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who
calls up the dead. For whoever does these
things is detestable to the Lord; and because of
these detestable things
the Lord your God will drive them out before you.
Isaiah
8:19When they say to you, “Consult the
mediums and the spiritists
who whisper and mutter,” should not a
peopleconsult their God?Should theyconsultthe dead on
behalf of the living?
Using
the
above list from Deuteronomy and Isaiah, let’s take a
look at each individual practice.
New Important Book! Dominionism! How Unbiblical Action Can
Change The Churches by Dr. Orrel Steinkamp &
Sandy Simpson
Preface
By Sandy Simpson
The title and cover art of this work
are a play off of the book by C. Peter Wagner entitled
“"Dominion! How Kingdom Action Can Change The
World". In contrast to this specious claim we
have titled this book “Dominionism! How Unbiblical
Action Can Change The Churches”. We think that
is far more in keeping with what we will present in
this series of articles and essays on the subject of
Kingdom Now/Dominionism.
Indeed, many churches have already been
changed by accepting the false teachings that
constitute Dominionism. This started decades ago
under Reformed Reconstrucionism and Latter Rain
theology, but even before that in the Roman Catholic
Church (RCC). The attempt of Constantine to
protect Christians from being persecuted, since he
claimed he had become one of them, turned out to begin
a journey in syncretism and Dominion. It wasn’t
long before corrupt church officials began to try to
seize power all over Europe and beyond as the “Holy
Roman Empire”. The Reformation itself was a
reaction to the lengths to which the RCC had gone to
take control over the Scriptures, the nations, the
kingdoms, and the people for financial gain.
They sold indulgences, promising those who came up
with enough money a much shorter time in
Purgatory. Those same ploys are being used today
on what has been loosely called “Christian television”
by the sale of trinkets and promises of healing,
financial gain and even salvation.
These ideas all coalesce in
Dominionism. If it were true that the Church
needs to take over the planet, then we would be seeing
the unstoppable plans of God’s physical Kingdom
unfolding. But we do not. All we see are
failed prophecies, empty edicts and declarations
coming from false apostles and false prophets.
They love to fool Christians with talk of the
“kingdom” when it is clear they are talking about a
different “kingdom”; a Kingdom Now not a Kingdom
come. Jesus taught us to pray: “Thy Kingdom
come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in
heaven”. The implication is that we are to be
about building His spiritual Kingdom while praying for
and expecting His physical Kingdom to come. The
only way we can do that is to continue in the Great
Commission till He comes, not attempt to rule where
God has not given the Church the authority to
rule. Jesus will do that when He returns. If we
go off on the tangent the Dominionists want us to go,
we will not only miss out on the blessings of His
Kingdom to come, but may well be deserving of
judgment.

Seeds, Soil & Fruit by Sandy Simpson
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the
world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the
kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The
harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are
angels. Matthew 7:17 Likewise every good
tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad
fruit.
Original sin is the bad seed in
everyone. We all start with a bad seed.
Jer. 17:9 The heart is
deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who
can understand it? Rom. 3:23 for all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God, Rom. 5:12 Therefore, just as sin
entered the world through one man, and death through
sin, and in this way death came to all men, because
all sinned
We need to have the bad seed destroyed
and replaced with good seed.
Gal. 5:24 Those who belong to
Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature
with its passions and desires. Rom. 6:6 For we know that our
old self was crucified with him so that the body of
sin might be done away with, that we should no
longer be slaves to sin 1 Pet. 1:23 For you have been
born again, not of perishable seed, but of
imperishable, through the living and enduring
word of God.
The good seed is the Word, the Gospel.
Luke 8:11 "This is the meaning
of the parable: The seed is the word of God. 1 John 3:9 No one who is born of
God will continue to sin, because God's seed
remains in him; he cannot go on sinning, because
he has been born of God.
Bad seeds are from the enemy and are full
of false doctrine and a false gospel.
Matt. 13:38-39 The field is the
world, and the good seed stands for the sons of the
kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The
harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are
angels.
Will the Real Blasphemers
Please Stand Up? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
This subject is one so serious that I
do it with great fear and trepidation. Nonetheless,
because I get so many e-mails accusing me and other
Bereans of blasphemy, among other serious charges, I
felt it was necessary to clear up some issues on this
topic. Because of my stand for the truth of God's Word
juxtaposed against all the false teaching that is
going on today, I think it is important to do a quick
study on what blasphemy is actually all about from a
biblical standpoint. There are many references
to blasphemy in the Bible and from them we can find
out how and why that term was used.
You will see that the word "blasphemy"
in the Scriptures is the very definition of what the
false teachers and false prophets are doing today!
This is a name I came up with for
people attending and teaching at Oral Roberts
University in the 70s. Even back then I had come
to realize that their way of representing Christianity
was not in line with the Scriptures. At that
time I didn’t know that Oral Roberts was carrying on
the Word of Faith traditions of New Thought
practitioners such as Kenneth Hagin, Kenneth Copeland,
Essex Kenyan, Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuler,
and many other false teachers of the time.
Though I didn’t know anything about Word of Faith or
New Thought then I knew that the way they were
representing Christianity was just not right
somehow. Their desire to portray Christians as
rich, beautiful, healthy, perfect, and virtually
sinless (holiness) went directly against the example
of Jesus, the Apostles and the early church.

This DVD is a message based on this article.
The book by C.S. Lewis called
"Screwtape Letters" was a clever idea in exposing a
number of tactics of the enemy. Those principles
are still at work today in many churches.
Following is a list of some of the things the enemy
wants to see in churches and Christians in order to
bring them down.
Bradford Pear Christianity by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
I was driving along and noticing that
spring has sprung here in North Carolina. One of the
first trees to bloom is the Bradford Pear. I began to
notice how that tree has proliferated almost
everywhere and then my wife looked up the information
on this tree on the web. As she began to read the
facts about this tree and its proliferation I began to
see an allegorical parallel to what is going on in
much of Christendom. But before I get into what the
Bradford Pear can show us about the churches, I need
to present the facts about the tree.
The Lord's Prayer, Our Prayer by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Matt. 6:9-13 This, then, is how
you should pray: "Our Father in heaven, hallowed
be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our
daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have
forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from the evil one."
This model
prayer that Jesus taught the disciples to pray
contains many important precepts. It should
probably be called "The Disciple's Prayer". It
starts with a very important concept in the first
verse.
The Fallacious Arguments of
Neo-Universalists by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The new Universalists are not as
vocal about their Universalism ideas but are far
more deadly to the Church as they are not rejected
like classic Universalists were decades ago.
The new Universalists would include Emerging Church
leaders like Brian McLaren, Leonard Sweet, Spencer
Burke, Alan Jones and others like Wycliffe, Society
of Biblical Literature, World Christian
Gathering of Indigenous Peoples, Richard Twiss,
Daniel Kikawa, Terry LeBlanc, Rick Warren, Henry
Nowen, YWAM, Tony Campolo, Robert Schuller, George
Otis Jr., and even Billy Graham.
The future of apologetics and
discernment ministries by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I admit that I am
very skeptical about the future of discernment and
apologetics ministries. I don't see the next
generation coming up to replace those who have stood
for the truth for so long. Fortunately many apologists
have gone to be with the Lord but who will replace
them? I don't see replacements coming up who will take
the place of those who have been fighting the fight
the years. I run a web site where I collect articles
and materials from all over the world and present them
in a sort of Reader's Digest format so that people can
come to one place to get the latest information on
heresies in the churches as well as research past
ones. What I've seen in the last couple of years is
that the production of regular materials is declining
to the point where it's becoming difficult to find one
article for my site to post every day. Of course I
write my own articles but don't have enough time to
write an article on a daily basis. I am very concerned
because of the tsunami of false ideas from the enemy
in the churches. At the same time, unfortunately, I
see a lot of younger people who don't even recognize
anymore that something is wrong.

Church History & The Core
Doctrines by Sandy Simpson
This 4-DVD set is a combination of a
condensed study on Church History and the Discernment
Toolkit series which deals with the core doctrines of
the Church and how to use them to discern error.
The Church History DVD takes a different approach to
Church History in that it does not celebrate the
Catholic Church but rather exposes it as false
Christianity. It covers World religions, false
Christianity and finally a study of the true remnant
Church through history following the story of the many
martyrs who stood up for true Biblical faith.
The "Weight of Glory" by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
2 Corinthians 4:17 For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
(KJV)
This is both an incredible source of
hope for Christians who are downtrodden, and a
source of escalating heresy in many churches.It is
critical that we understand what Paul was talking
about when he wrote the phrase “weight of
glory”.Jacob Prasch has repeated this phrase in his
teachings over the years … “A text, out of context,
in isolation from co-text is always a pre-text."A
huge problem today is that individuals and movements
tend to yank verses out of their context and build a
cult of heresy around them.This is called eisegesis
or plugging your own ideas into the Scriptures
instead of exegesis, gaining understanding and
interpretation of the Bible by studying it in
context and in the scope of the whole written Word.

Hearts" or "The World In Their
Hearts"? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In the introduction to Mike
Oppenheimer's and my book "Idolatry In Thier Hearts"
I exposed the fact that Don Richardson pulled the
phrase "Eternity In Thier Hearts" to use as his book
title from it's context in Ecc. 3:11. He did
this to support his thesis, which actually
contradicts the second part of that verse, where it
states that man cannot fathom what God has done.
Richardson, rather, sets forth what has become the
foundation for the false teachings of the WCGIP,
YWAM, a number of Bible translation societies and
the Emerging Church ... the propostion that men from
Gentile cultures have always been seeking God and
that Gentile cultures were already worshipping the
true God before missionaries came with the Gospel.
But as I further investigated this
verse I found that Richardson even ignored the true
meaning of the FIRST half of the verse in favor of a
few translations that use the phrase "eternity in
their hearts".

Christians who “turn
away” by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Jeremiah 3:10-11 And yet for all
this her treacherous sister Judah hath not turned unto
me with her whole heart, but feignedly, saith the
LORD. And the LORD said unto me, “The backsliding
Israel hath justified herself more than treacherous
Judah.” (KJV) Israel had turned away from the Lord and
had gone after the gods of Canaan, namely
Baal and Asherah. Because Israel had
prostituted herself with false gods in worshipping the
polytheistic gods that started at Babel, God had
declared He was divorcing Israel and would send them
into exile until they again returned to the true God.
But Judah prided itself in doing what God had
commended as they had Jerusalem and the Temple.
They disdained Israel for setting up altars to Baal
and Asherah poles on high hills. Yet God was not
fooled by Judah’s pretence. In the KJV it says
they were not worshipping God with their whole heart
but “feignedly”.
Prophets for profit by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Cor. 2:17 Unlike so many, we do
not peddle the word of God for profit. On the
contrary, in Christ we speak before God with
sincerity, as those sent from God.
There are many false teachers on TV
these days who peddle the word of God for
profit. They make promises of healing that do
not come true by claiming if they are given a
financial gift the person will receive healing and
riches. When what they promised does not happen
the person is blamed that they did not have enough
faith. This often destroys the faith of people who
fall into the traps of these snake oil salesmen.
I have no problem with people charging for their
materials if they cost to be produced, even though it
is hoped that when a person cannot afford to pay for
books and DVDs they will receive them free of
charge. But the charges levied on people for
conferences and speaking engagements is often
excessive. A minister of God can ask for support
and deserves it if they are being diligent in their
study and proclamation of the Word. But
experiences and feelings often come with a price today
and that is not right.
"Mistake" or "Sin"? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Today we often hear the word
"mistake" coming from pulpits, and especially in
defense of false teaching and false prophesy.
"Cut him some slack! He just made some
mistakes". "We all make mistakes, so don't
judge lest you be judged." We even hear the
word "mistakes" being substituted for the word "sin"
in many presentations of what I have termed "Gospel
Lite" today. So is it proper to substitute the word
"mistake" for the word "sin"? We'll look at
the problem of one word "mistakenly" being used for
the other.
Holy Ghost IGNORED! by Sandy Simpson
This 3-DVD set is a message based on this movie review.
"Holy Ghost Reborn" is the second
film in the "Holy Ghost" series released by Bethel
Church in Redding, CA. Tim Wirth and I
reviewed the first "Holy Ghost" film and that review
is freely available on YouTube here:
I am sorry to say this but Bethel is
clearly a cult of Christianity holding to most of
the teachings of the Latter Rain and Word of
Faith. They have demonstrated repeatedly a
manipulative atmosphere targeting young people in
particular while preaching rank heresy. This
new film is a continuation of those false teachings
and practices. I pray for the young people in
that church that they will come to know Jesus Christ
as their Savior and thus come to know the true Holy
Spirit.
This 3-DVD set is only $30. plus s/h.
for US.

IGNORED! Part 4 - Addendum with Tim Wirth &
Sandy Simpson
This "Holy Ghost IGNORED! Part 4 -
Addendum is part of a 3-DVD series by Sandy Simpson
reviewing the film "Holy Ghost Reborn". This addendum
features a number of false teachings of Bethel Church
in Redding, CA that I was not able to include in the
3-Part series. Get
the whole thing! It is very important to see
what has become the "new" Christianity.
Servant Authority by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The world system has always been a "top
down" structure, starting at the apex of the pyramid
and going down to the bottom. In kingdoms we have the
king at the top, then the princes, common people,
slaves. In a democracy we have the President at the
top, the VP, the Sec. of State on down to the
citizens. In business we have the CEO at the top,
upper management, lower management, office workers and
the janitors. Unfortunately, sometime in the
third century, the church started to have a top down
structure. This is also when the church began to be in
error. The church of Rome began to have a "top down"
structure that started with the pope, then cardinals,
then bishops, then priests, then the people. Well,
what about that? Eph 4:11 It was he who
gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to
be evangelists, and some to be pastors and
teachers, This all sounds like a "top down"
structure. But the problem is that people have not
seen an important fact about these gifts of the Spirit
-- man looks at function and title, God looks at aim
and goal! Read on. Eph. 4:12 to prepare
God's people for works of service, so that the body of
Christ may be built up. These are not gifts given for
title or to give people job descriptions. They are
given because there are people out there who need our
help! The church needed the Apostles. They were the
ones who were the foundation of the church. They were
the ones who saw Jesus in the flesh and were taught by
Him personally. They wrote the New Testament
Scriptures. Though the gifts of apostle and prophet
are different today than in biblical times, the gift
of evangelism, pastoring, teaching and others are
still the same. A person who is an evangelist does not
just have a title so he can rule over people. The
reason that he has the gift to be an evangelist is so
that he can tell others the good news. Why do we have
pastors? Are they supposed to rule the church and get
everyone to support them and bow to their demands? No.
They are to serve the church by helping people to come
to a fuller knowledge of Jesus Christ, to equip the
saints to become more like Jesus every day.
The true structure of Christianity is
symbolized as an inverted pyramid!
�Overtake you like a thief� by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
1 Thessalonians 5:4 But you,
brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would
overtake you like a thief; How serious will it be
for a person to be overtaken in �that day� like a
thief overtakes a household when he slips in and
steals? Will it just be a surprise for those
who claim to be Christians who will get a slap on
the wrist by the Lord but still proceed to
heaven? Will they simply lose rewards but
still gain the ultimate reward? What is this
darkness that the brethren are not in? 1
Thessalonians 5:3-5 While they are saying,
�Peace and safety!� then destruction will come
upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a
woman with child, and they will not escape.
But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day
would overtake you like a thief; for you are all
sons of light and sons of day. We are not of
night or of darkness;
Generic and Specific by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In my article �Blasphemizing
the
Bible� I give a number of examples of how a lot
of modern Bible translation societies are putting the
names of �supreme beings� in the Bible in the place of
God or YHWH. In this article I'm going to examine two
of the excuses they make for making those
substitutions in the Bible in many hundreds of
different languages today.
(1) They claim that God has many
different names and therefore they think they are
justified in putting the names of various gods of
various cultures in Bibles, as long as they are
considered �supreme beings�.
(2) The second excuse they give is that
the names of the �gods� they are placing in the Bible
are generic terms for God, like the words �God�,
�Theos�, �Dios� and �Elohim�. By generic I mean a word
that can be used for any deity whether of the one true
God or other false gods who claim to be God.
I will go through both of these excuses
and show that they are both unbiblical, therefore the
Bibles they have translated with names of other gods
in them, or names they claim are generic, prove that
they have �blasphemized� those Bibles.
The Ugly Side
of Diaprax by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There has been a concerted effort by
the false teachers from many movements inside the
church such as Word of Faith, New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR)/Latter Rain, World Gathering on
Indigenous People and Emerging Church among others to
diaprax people into thinking that the church has been
ineffective until they came along with their new and
improved ideas on how to take over the world.
This is always a feature of the Hegelian Dialectical
process put into action by praxis, thus diaprax.
In order to form a new paradigm or worldview the
leadership of these movements must vilify orthodox
Biblical Christianity.
Deluded! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There are so many "Christian" leaders
out there that teach delusional teachings. These
teaching are dangerous and can lead a person to
shipwreck their faith.
Healer? Heal Thyself! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
A good subtitle for this article might
be "Practice What You Preach!" There is no doubt
that God can and does heal people today. But the
false doctrines of the Word-Faith Movement about
"declaring" healing, "name-it-and-claim-it", etc. have
been proven to be lies by the very people who sell
this deceit. If you don't know about where these
famous "faith healers" go when they need healing, you
may be surprised. Why couldn't they heal
themselves when they purported to be able to heal
others by virtue of their superior faith? What
happened to the extraordinary faith they claimed to
have, enough faith to heal and be healed? Since
they are the ones who taught that all you have to do
is claim the healing that is in the Atonement (Is.
53:5) why did they not do so? Don't their deaths
prove that what they were preaching was a lie and
pragmatic witchcraft rather than biblical relality?
God�s Attitude toward the
�Supreme Beings� of the Nations by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
It is quite clear from Scripture that
YHWH does NOT consider the �supreme beings� of the
nations to be Himself, the One True God. This is
in opposition to the teachings of Don Richardson,
Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss and many others promoting
the World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People
movement, Emergent Church and Liberal
theologies. I have proven this time and time
again in my articles on the subject but I am going to
consolidate the information from the Bible in this
article by studying the false gods named in the
Bible. I am sure I will not be able to cover
every instance of supreme beings mentioned in the
Bible but I (1) want to deal with some of the major
ones (2) show you where they are found in the Word,
and (3) prove that they were the �supreme beings� of
those nations named by the patriarchs, prophets and
Apostles and that they were not monotheistic gods but
polytheistic in the tradition of Babel where the false
religion of polytheism first took root through the
worship of Nimrod and Semiramis.
You need to "nip it in the
bud"! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am writing this article to address
a subject that I have often observed. It is
the fact that if you do not get the leaven out of
your church the leaven will become the
leadership.The Bible teaches quite clearly that if
you let the leaven in you will leaven the whole
lump.
Galatians 5:9 A little leaven
leavens the whole lump of dough.
We see this often in the case
of many �Christian� movements that have allowed a
small error to exist in their churches and have not
dealt with those issues. It then ends up
metastasizing into worse and worse problems as time
goes by.
The New Panentheistic "God" Of
Christendom by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Now, I bet you read the title of this
article and thought I had misspelled the word
"pantheism". Just so that those of you who write
to me advising me of words I have misspelled in
articles (and I do often) I want to tell you that I am
using the term "panentheism" as coined by Karl C. F.
Krause. You can read more about this word and
concept in an excellent book called "A
Time Of Departing" by Ray Yungen.
There is a new "God" being promoted in
the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) and
Word of Faith movements whose teachers are regularly
seen on TBN, Daystar, SkyAngel, CBN and other
"Christian" TV networks. Some of those teachers
even have, what would be considered, a fairly typical
statement of faith or doctrinal statement they
endorse. But by what they teach they end up promoting
a false unbiblical view of God, especially through
their actions and experiences. The whole
phenomenon of "slain in the spirit" and all the antics
that go with it are brainwashing an entire generation
of Christians to put their faith in another Jesus,
another Spirit, another Gospel. This new "Jesus"
and "Holy Spirit" is clearly pantheistic or
panentheistic in nature. Though some of these
teachers would claim to be believing in the God who is
One God in Three Persons, by what they teach they deny
the very revealed character of God from Scripture.
What Should I Say? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this booklet.
How do you answer an invitation to
attend a meeting where you know nothing about the
speaker or what will be done there? What happens if
they want to announce the meeting at your church and
invite everyone? What do you say to a person who tells
you that you don�t have the Holy Spirit even though
you are a Christian? What should you do if you think
something is wrong, or your conscience is bothering
you about something that was said or done? The
answer?
Go to the Scriptures!
The Bible has all the answers to your
questions. This little booklet is an attempt to deal
with a few of the typical statements you will hear
from people who have become involved in the Third Wave
revival movement. By �Third Wave� I am referring to
teachers, �prophets� and any meeting associated with
the Toronto �Blessing�, Brownsville Assemblies of God,
Rodney Howard-Browne, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland,
Rod Parsley, Marilyn Hickey, Joyce Meyers, Bethel
Church, Lakeland and many others who appear on the
Trinity Broadcasting Network and the 700 Club on
TV.
Hopefully the statements and answers in
this booklet will set you off on an investigation of
your own in the Word. If you need help, and you have
access to the Internet, you can visit my web site
called �Deception In The Church� that deals with these
issues and has the articles mentioned in this booklet.
Luring People To Destruction By The Unscrupulous Use Of The
"Gospel" Message by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Phil.
1:14-18 Because of my chains, most of the
brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the
word of God more courageously and fearlessly. It
is true that some preach Christ out of envy and
rivalry, but others out of goodwill. The latter
do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the
defense of the gospel. The former preach Christ out of
selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they
can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. But
what does it matter? The important thing is that in
every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ
is preached. And because of this I rejoice. Yes, and I
will continue to rejoice,
If you see what I see in this passage,
this argument cannot be used for people like Benny
Hinn, Kenneth Copeland and the hundreds, even
thousands of Third Wave ministers today who are not
merely envious and self ambitious, but are also
teaching outright false doctrine. Paul was not talking
about heretics in this statement, but "brothers in the
Lord" who preach the Gospel with wrong motives. Third
Wave teachers not only have wrong motives, they also
have the wrong message. This argument cannot be
used for people like Hinn, even if they manage to
preach enough of the "Gospel" for people to come to a
saving knowledge of the Lord, because they are also
teaching and practicing heresy.
One of Satan�s Final
Masquerades by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And
no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel
of light.
Satan often disguises himself
with the purpose of deceiving people. One way in
which I believe he is putting on a masquerade is by
appearing as �Mary� to millions of people
worldwide.
Attack Of The Enemy On The Churches by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So much heresy is entering the churches
these days. As you would suspect, sometimes it
is due to a pastor attending a conference or reading a
book and becoming diapraxed with unbiblical
ideas. He then starts to weave those ideas into
his messages and begins to invite speakers to the
church who expound on those ideas. Then when
confronted by someone in the church who has
reservations about the new stuff being taught, they
are told to not talk about it and just go along with
the program. If that person does not they are
ostracized, slander behind their back, and often told
to leave (which is what they should do in any
case).
But my observation is that it is not
only the pastor who causes unbiblical changes to
influence a church. Often the pastor is
blissfully unaware of influences coming into his
church. They often come in through (1) the
worship team (2) women�s groups (3) bookstore (4)
children�s programs (5) interdenominational prayer
efforts and (6) relief and mission
organizations. If unchecked this type of
infiltration is much more subtle and can become deeply
rooted.
Marks Of False Religion by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one
takes you captive through philosophy and empty
deception, according to the tradition of men,
according to the elementary principles of the world,
rather than according to Christ.
In context Paul is especially
addressing, though perhaps not to the exclusion of
other false religion, what had become the false
religion of the Pharisees and Jewish leadership.
There were many Jewish so-called �Christians� making
the rounds among the fledgling early churches who were
trying to get the Gentiles to come under the Law from
which Christ had purchased their freedom. John
Gill states this case well in his commentary.
Universalism in the
World has Permeated the Church by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
The current fad of interfaith
solidarity and unity is simply a thin guise of
inclusivism, Universalism and pluralism.
Universalism is defined by
Dictionary.com as: The doctrine that emphasizes the
universal fatherhood of God and the final salvation
of all souls. (Source)
Universalism is a religion and theology that
generally holds all persons and creatures are
related to God or the divine and will be reconciled
to God. (Source)
Pluralism is defined as: The
doctrine that reality is composed of many ultimate
substances. � The belief that no single
explanatory system or view of reality can account
for all the phenomena of life. (American Heritage
Dictionary, (Source)
Inclusivism is: "Inclusivism posits
that even though the work of Christ is the only
means of salvation, it does not follow that explicit
knowledge of Christ is necessary in order for one to
be saved. In contrast to pluralism, inclusivism
agrees with exclusivism in affirming the
particularity of salvation in Jesus Christ. But
unlike exclusivism, inclusivism holds that an
implicit faith response to general revelation can be
salvific. God expects from man a response
proportional to the light given. Saving faith is not
characterized so much by its cognitive content as it
is by its reverent quality." (Ken Keathley, None
Dare Call It Treason: Is an Inclusivist a Paul
Revere or a Benedict Arnold? (Ken Keathley,
Assistant Professor of Theology and Philosophy New
Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary, (Source)
We deal with these old heresies
brought forward to modernity, these ideas that all
men have have a relationship with God that will
cause them to be able to avoid judgement in our book
on the teachings of the World Gathering on
Indigenous People movement called �Idolatry In Their
Hearts�. The idea that all men who
worship a �god� are worshipping the true God, YHWH,
has bubbled up to the very top of our societies and
religions, and even Christendoom, and should sound a
warning alarm to true Biblical Christianity.
Instead, as usual in our day, most Christians are
asleep at the wheel while Universalists claim that
you can pray to a �god� like Allah and be praying to
the true Trinue God, YHWH. I also dealt with the
fact that Allah is not YHWH, both in our book and in
the article �Is Allah The
Same As YHWH?�.
What We Need Is A Reverse
Paradigm Shift! by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I'm going to warn you now. I am
going to let you in on some information tonight that
is going to radically change your world view.
You are likely going to experience the beginnings of a
reverse paradigm shift and after tonight there will be
no way to go back the way you came. You will be
faced with choices that you may never have known you
had. You will be faced with a new way of looking
at things that is going to cause you to rethink
everything that is being taught in the Emerging Latter
Rain churches. It is going to be radical because
the basis for this message doesn't come from Jesus
Christ visiting my room last night bodily, but from
His holy written Word. So buckle down your seat
belts, you're likely in for a bumpy ride!
Matt. 7:15-23
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in
sheep�s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious
wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do
people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from
thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit,
but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot
bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good
fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is
cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their
fruit you will recognize them. "Not everyone who
says to me, �Lord, Lord,� will enter the kingdom of
heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father
who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day,
�Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and
in your name drive out demons and perform many
miracles?� Then I will tell them plainly, �I never
knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!�
False Teachers Revisited by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I often receive requests to present
updated false teachings and false prophecies by the
myriad of heretics out there. We do try to keep
up with all the latest. But I have to remind
people that those we have exposed as false on our site
have not repented of what they have already done in
the past, which is why they are still on our
site. So what they are doing now has no
relevance as to whether or not they are now to be
considered a true Biblical teacher. If and when
they repent, that is renounce their false teachings
and false prophecies, make restitution to those they
have deceived, and begin to teach sound Biblical
doctrine we will give you that information. As
of now NONE of the people we have exposed have
repented of their Latter Rain, Word of Faith
teachings, heretical practices or their false
prophecies. But in the interest of helping you
to respond to a person who inquires by saying: "Those
articles are old and you need newer materials" well,
here is some newer stuff you can add to the
pile. For you and me this really makes no
difference, but for those who are living in deception
perhaps it might demolish one of their arguments
against the truth.
Testing The Spirits by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
Sometimes I really wonder why someone
who claims to be a Bible believing pastor, for
instance, refuses to listen to the truth. It
frankly boggles my mind. I don't know if it is
as a result of the postmodern paradigm or just that
they have no love of the truth left. I don't
know how that can happen in a truly regenerate
person. You would think that the Holy Spirit
would confirm the truth to them, first in their
conscience, and finally through the written
Word. But these days it is a miracle if it gets
that far. I don't know if their conscience has
been so seared that they don't hear the Spirit or if
they just don't want to know the truth because then
they would be responsible for it. I know that I
cannot know their motives or the reasons why they
reject truth and refuse to talk about false teaching,
but I do know one thing: we are called as true
believers to test the spirits. We must do this
even if the result is not to our liking or befuddles
us as to the reasons.
1 John 4:1 Dear
friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are from God, because
many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Questions for Those Who Claim
the "Supreme Beings" Of the Nations Are the True
God by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I have some questions for those of the
World Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP)
adherents such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa,
Richard Twiss (deceased), Terry LeBlanc, Danny Lehman,
Aloha Ke Akua, YWAM as well as many in the Emergent
Church (EC) ... the questions arise from their claim
that the "supreme beings" of the nations are all the
True God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. You can read more on this subject in our
book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" or in the WCGIP
section of my site. My main question for them is this:
When did ANY of the Patriarchs and Prophets in the Old
Testament and the Apostles or Jesus Christ in the New
Testament EVER claim that the "supreme beings" of the
nations were Elohim/YHWH, the one True God?
Let's look at some examples in the form of questions
and you can check out the source links as well.
How To Discern, Test &
Judge Rightly by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
In running
a web site with thousands of articles, 1-2 million
hits per month from all over the world, and hundreds
of e-mails per week, I have come to realize, with
time, that there is a terrible problem in
Christendom today. The problem stems from an
existential subjective view of the world that has
filtered into the church from secular society, but
also from the teachings of heretical wolves who have
taught an entire generation of churchgoers
completely unbiblical methods of discernment or to
get rid of any discernment altogether.
We need a firm foundation to
weather the storm of false ideas by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Matthew 22:29 Jesus answered and
said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the
scriptures, nor the power of God. (KJV) Matthew 7:24 "Therefore everyone who
hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be
compared to a wise man who built his house on the
rock. How firm a foundation, ye saints of
the Lord, Is laid for your faith in His
excellent word! � 1787 Joseph Funk & Robert Keene
A house built on the rock will
stand. The Rock is God and in particular, Jesus
Christ. Therefore His written Word is the
teachings of the His Holy Spirit and a Rock we can
depend on. Anyone who wants to prove anything
theologically, historically, scientifically or
anything else needs to start with correct
information. If you start with a faulty
foundation, as you build your arguments, they begin to
fall apart because they are not supported in God"s
truth. If you want to build on a firm
foundation, you need to start the process by a careful
study of God"s Word in context of the verse and
according to the whole counsel of God"s Word.
The Bible is the best commentary on the Bible.
Karma (by any other name) by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
According to Wikipedia:
"Karma means action, work or deed;
it also refers to the principle of causality where
intent and actions of an individual influence the
future of that individual. Good intent and
good deed contribute to good karma and future
happiness, while bad intent and bad deed contribute
to bad karma and future suffering. Karma is
closely associated with the idea of rebirth in some
schools of Asian religions. In these schools,
karma in the present affects one's future in the
current life, as well as the nature and quality of
future lives - or, one's samsara. With origins in
ancient India, it is a key concept in Hinduism,
Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, Shintoism, Ching
Hai and others."(emphasis mine)
Mirram-Webster defines it this way:
the force created by a person's
actions that is believed in Hinduism and Buddhism to
determine what that person's next life will be like:
the force created by a person's actions that some
people believe causes good or bad things to happen
to that person
His Name, The Only Name by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Zechariah 14:9 NIV The LORD will be
king over the whole earth. On that day there will be
one LORD, and his name the only name.
The reason I wrote this
article based on Zech 14:9 is that I was reminded of
how many so-called Christians, who are influential in
the churches, are promoting the worship of God in the
names of other gods.
Replacement Theology On
Steroids by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
So, as you can see, the root of this
teaching is that Israel no longer holds the
distinction of being the tree from which the Root of
David (Jesus-Rev. 5:5, 22:16) came. They are
no longer the "natural branches" (Israel-Rom. 11:21)
on to which Gentile Christianity (the wild
shoots-Rom. 11:17 or wild branches-Rom. 11:24) are
grafted in (Rom. 11:17-24). According to
Replacement Theology, Christianity has now become
its own branch apart from Israel (the natural
branch) that produced the Root and all the promises
of the Bible to Israel have been taken away from
them and given to the Gentile Church. This is
why you hear so many false teachers taking verses
out of context from the Old Testament and
willy-nilly applying them to the Gentile
Church. This methodology has been going on for
decades in liberal churches and has been popularized
by many false teachers on TV. But the fact is that
Replacement Theology is utter false doctrine.
It denies promises made to Israel, some of which
have already been fulfilled and some which are yet
to come to fruition. But when you add the fact that
the Inclusivist WCGIP proponents are now saying that
God planted hundreds of different trees, cultures
all over the world, that are not connected to the
natural branch, tree and Root, you have what can
only be termed Replacement Theology on steroids!
Those Who Do Not Lead
Christians to Maturity by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The Scriptural definition of maturity
is to learn to discern truth from error so that the
Christian will no longer be double minded, blown about
by every wind of teaching and by the schemes of crafty
people. But the problem today is that so few
Christian teachers are feeding their flock's solid
food. They are serving up milk and, because of
that, people are starving. Yet they often don't even
know they have been on a starvation diet. Amos
8:11 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign
Lord, "when I will send a famine through the land
- not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
but a famine of hearing the words of the Lord."
"... and all liars" by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
Lying is a problem for all people (Ps.
116:11). We are all sinners (Rom. 3:23).
Those of us who are Christians are "sinners saved by
grace" (Eph. 2:8) indwelt by the Holy Spirit in our
"new self" (Col. 3:10). But we still live in our "old
self" which we must "put off" (Eph. 4:20-25) by taking
up our cross daily and following Christ (Luke
9:23). The difference between unbelievers and
those who are truly born again is that believers no
longer "practice sin" (1 John 3:9, see my Bible study
on 1 John!) They have the indwelling Holy Spirit
(Rom. 8:11) who convicts them when they lie (John
16:8). True believers then repent (1 John 1:9) and go
on to "practice righteousness" (1 John 2:29) with the
Lord's help. The unregenerate, the false
brothers, or those who have fallen away (Gal. 5:4,
Mark 4:17), practice lying. They practice a
lifestyle of lying because their consciences are
seared (1 Tim. 4:2) and the Holy Spirit, when
convicting them, cannot break through the hardness of
their unrepentant hearts (Eph. 4:17-19, Heb.
3:13).
Four Books That the Enemy Has
Used To Corrupt Christianity by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article.
The four books that have changed the
church by giving an introduction to the false
teachings of the New Apostolic/Latter Rain (NAR), the
Emerging Church/Contemplative/Catholic Mysticism (EC),
pragmatic Church Growth (CG) methodologies of C. Peter
Wagner, Robert Schuller and Peter Drucker, and the
teachings of the World Christian Gathering on
Indigenous People (WCGIP) are as follows:
Surprised by the Power of the Spirit by
Jack Deer, Celebration of Discipline by Richard
Foster, Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren &
Etnerity In Their Hearts by Don Richardson.
These four books were widely read
by Christians from virtually every denominational
background before their ramifications and the
movements they would spawn were known. They lay
error alongside truth so were considered not to be a
threat to churches. Therefore these books then
became part of the consciousness of many Christians
and churches, thereby laying the basis for the
introduction of the modern day false teachings of the
NAR, EC, CG and WCGIP that have become part of the
landscape of Christendom today.
Night Marchers and UFOs on the
Big Island by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
With the resurgence of the old
religion of Hawaii and the continual invocation of
Pel� and other "deities" for years in the secular
culture and even in churches with regards to
worshipping 'Io, is it any wonder that those beings
are beginning to manifest again? In a story
called "Night
Marchers" on the Kawaihae site and in a YouTube
video on the same subject, eyewitnesses claim
all kinds of sightings that they think are the
warriors, ancestors and demi-gods of Hawaii coming
back. Interestingly the
first
book the Hawaiian Heritage site recommends in
its "Suggested Reading" list is "Perpetuated
in
Righteousness" by Daniel Kikawa that we
reviewed in our book "Idolatry
In
Their Hearts" by Sandy Simpson and Mike
Oppenheimer. Since Kikawa claims that 'Io is the
True God and one that the Hawaiians worshipped in
secret, we have to wonder if Kikawa also thinks 'Io
is showing up in these night marches? Since YWAM,
Aloha Ke Akua and Hilo New Hope participated in
worshipping 'Io at the "edge of Hale-ma'uma'u
Crater" it sounds like they have all been inviting
the old "gods" to return to Hawaii.
"They Will Believe The Lie" by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am doing a Bible study right now on
what I would call "renewing our minds". It is
based on this verse:
Romans 12:2 Do not conform to the
pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test
and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing
and perfect will.
The only way to renew our minds is to
believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, confess our sins,
and be saved, then to study the written Word and allow
the indwelling Holy Spirit to teach us. Our
minds are corrupted by virtue of the sin nature and
what we have learned in life because our filters are
off. I gave an illustration of straining coconut to
make coconut milk. If you use a 1 inch screen
everything will pass through. Even if you use a
quarter inch screen you will get mostly coconut meat
in your milk. You have to use a fine screen in
order to separate the milk from the leftover.
Our filters are off and the first thing God begins to
do is correct our worldview, because if your worldview
is off you will not understand God's reality. We
need to learn to see things from His
perspective. This is why I started this study by
going back to an original problem.
2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 The coming of
the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan
works. He will use all sorts of displays of power
through signs and wonders that serve the lie,
and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who
are perishing. They perish because they refused to
love the truth and so be saved. For this reason God
sends them a powerful delusion so that they will
believe the lie and so that all will be
condemned who have not believed the truth but have
delighted in wickedness.
This has always been an interesting
passage to me for a few different reasons. What
is "the lie" that is talked about here in verse 9 and
11? What are the ways that "wickedness deceives
those who are perishing" and how long has this been
going on or does this only begin to happen at the
coming of the lawless one? In what way does "the
lie" cause those who do not believe the truth to
"delight in wickedness"?
Updated! The First Nations Movement Deceiving The Nations! 4-DVD Series Critical
Missiological Issue!
The "Indigenous People's" (IPM) or
"First Nations" movement is an unbiblical movement
teaching heresies and doctrines of demons. It is being
spread worldwide by YWAM, Don Richardson, John Dawson,
Richard Twiss, Terry LeBlanc, Daniel Kikawa and many
other adherents. The IPM or World Christian
Gathering On Indigenous People is full of the false
teachings of the Third Wave, New Apostolic Reformation
(NAR), Word-Faith, Dominionism, Latter Rain and many
other false theological systems. But it does
have it's own distinctives that are driven by the
works of Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss, and Don
Richardson in particular. They are teaching
Christians to "redeem" their cultures by worshipping
their former gods, pretending they are YHWH.

This DVD is a message based on this
article: "Christians"
Who Try To Poke Holes In Sola Scriptura
There are a number of the leadership
of the Emerging Church (EC) who do not believe that
the Bible is the highest authority for the Christian
faith. Most do not believe that the Bible is
inerrant in the original manuscripts and many do not
acknowledge that the Bible is our highest
revelation. Yet this is a core doctrine over
which true believers and false brethren must
separate. Those who try to poke holes in Sola
Scriptura make excuses like (1) we need to
reinterpret the Bible through the lens of postmodern
culture and religion (2) the Bible never uses the
words "Sola Scriptura" therefore it is not a
Biblical concept (3) there is new revelation for the
church through the Holy Spirit apart from what is
written and the precepts of the Bible and (4) the
Bible just doesn't address our postmodern situation
therefore we cannot rely on it for the truth and
answers for our problems today. I will prove
that all the above arguments, and more, from EC
leaders and others is exactly what they are
teaching. I will give you quotes from their
teachings, videos and books. The postmodern church
and its "movements" are abandoning Sola Scriptura in
their rush to be like the Roman Catholic Church,
which takes its authority from a mix of Scripture
and tradition.
"As a result the Church, to whom the
transmission and interpretation of Revelation is
entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all
revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both
Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored
with EQUAL sentiments of devotion and reverence."

year of my Pontificate. Page 31).

Updated DVD! The Question Of Dominion by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this
article: The
Question Of Dominion.
I am writing this article as an
apologetic against the Third Wave, Latter Rain, Word
of Faith and Reformed Theology teachings that the
Church is to rise up and take over the systems of
government, businesses and every other aspect of
life. "See, the problem is, is that Satan has had
too much of his way in our society because he has a
government! And the only way to overthrow a
government is with a government. It won't
happen otherwise. So therefore the government
of the church has to get into place in the extended
church just like we do have it very well in place,
we haven't reached our goal yet ..."
(Transcript of C. Peter Wagner, Arise Prophetic
Conference, Gateway Church, San Jose, CA,
10-10-2004) Wagner has substituted the "government
of the church" for the coming government of Jesus
Christ in the Millennial Kingdom. Wagner is
"Kingdom Now" while the Bible teaches "Kingdom
Come". What I wanted to do with this article is put
the issue of dominion to rest by studying the
definition the Bible gives to dominion and ruling
authority. When we look at the subject we can
easily ascertain what is going on today and what God
requires of the Church.

Shepherd Or Hireling? by Sandy Simpson
This DVD is a message based on the
article: "Shepherd
Or
Hireling?"
The Bible lays out the definitions
of both an overseer (under shepherd) and a
hireling. John 10:11-13 I am the good
shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the
sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the
shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the
wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and
the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep.
The hireling fleeth, because he is an hireling, and
careth not for the sheep. (KJV) 1 Tim.
3:1-3 Here is a trustworthy saying: If
anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he
desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be above
reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate,
self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to
teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but
gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money.
(NIV) Titus 1:7-13 Since an overseer is
entrusted with God's work, he must be blameless, not
overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to
drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest
gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves
what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy
and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the
trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that
he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute
those who oppose it. For there are many rebellious
people, mere talkers and deceivers, especially those
of the circumcision group. They must be silenced,
because they are ruining whole households by
teaching things they ought not to teach - and that
for the sake of dishonest gain. Even one of their
own prophets has said, "Cretans are always liars,
evil brutes, lazy gluttons." This testimony is true.
Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be
sound in the faith. (NIV) A hireling does not really
care about being a watchman, but is more concerned
with protecting his reputation, position and
income. A true watchman will guard the flock
against wolves from within (Acts 20:30) and without
(Acts 20:29) no matter the cost to his reputation,
position or income. Following is a little quiz you
can take to see if you are a true Biblical under
shepherd as a leader in your church, are becoming a
hireling, or are one now.

Too many churches today are allowing
music to be used in their services that is not
glorifying to the Lord and can actually be a
hindrance to the teaching of sound doctrine. Pastors
and leaders should be using their leadership role to
test what is being played and sung in their
churches. Though some are quick to test preaching
and teaching from their pulpits, many ignore the
music being used in the same services. This is a
tragic mistake. Music is a powerful medium. It is
something that effects deeply the body, mind and
emotions. It is a proven fact that music often stays
with a person far longer than what is taught or
preached. Songs roam around in our heads, especially
if the melody appeals to us. What is often
overlooked is the serious impression music makes on
people, and the teaching they are getting over and
over again as they allow the song to repeat in their
minds and on their lips. Music teaches things much
more subtly yet sometimes far more effectively.
That's why the lyrical content of music in the
church, as well as its effect on the spiritual lives
of those who perform and listen, should be
vigorously examined by the leaders of the
church. This is a 2-DVD set.

Christ or "Christians" and claim they are born again
must believe certain things. If they do not then
they fail the test of faith. They can claim they
are born again all they want and "once saved, always
saved" but if they fail the test of faith there is no
eternal security. Only God knows who will be
saved, from beginning to end, because of His
foreknowledge and omniscience (Rom. 8:29, 1 Pet.
1:2). God did not make an arbitrary judgment
about who would be saved and who would not. His
Spirit is given to those He foreknew, when convicted
of sin by His Holy Spirit, would choose to believe and
commit themselves to Jesus Christ. We are not
God and we do not have His omniscience.
Therefore, according to Paul, we must be sure our
belief system is in the right place once our eyes have
been opened to the Truth. I am not saying we do
not have assurance of salvation, but our assurance
comes not only because of His Atonement and promises
of salvation but from our continuing in the Faith,
which is always the Biblical criteria. Those who would
be Bible teachers must teach according to the whole
counsel of God's Word. Let me be clear. There
is only one way to salvation. That is by
grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.
I will deal with a few of those issues following, but
it is important to recognize that being saved is not
just a matter of believing that Jesus lived, or that
He was a man, or simply giving mental ascent to His
existence in whatever form.

"Blasphemizing" The Bible by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I am going to go over an article I
wrote back in 2006 in preparation for the book I wrote
with Mike Oppenheimer called 'Idolatry in Their
Hearts'. This book is an apologetic against the
false teachings of the World Christian Gathering on
Indigenous People movement, the Emerging Church and
the New Apostolic Reformation which got their ideas
from the book "Eternity in Their Hearts" by Don
Richardson. At the time that book came out no
one really saw the dangerous ideas Richardson was
promoting. All they would have had to do was
look at the two subtitles of that book to understand
the implications. The first subtitle in the 1981
edition read: The Untold Story of Christianity among
Folk Religions of Ancient People. Those who read
this book found some interesting cross-cultural ideas
but apparently missed the false premise of the book
starting with the subtitle. How could Christianity be
"among folk religions" where the Gospel had not been
preached (Rom. 10:14-15)? At that time Christians who
read the book were apparently satisfied that, though
there was some questionable material present, it made
for an interesting discussion on how to do
cross-cultural ministry. The subtitle it has today,
which was first published in 1984, is as follows:
Startling Evidence of Belief in the One True God in
Hundreds of Cultures Throughout the World. This
should have been a red flag for many Christians but
then, who reads subtitles? But how could the
"One True God" be known to Gentiles who did "not know
God".

Resources For Pastors including "Good English Bible
Translations" by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
I was talking with a pastor after a
Wednesday night service and he mentioned that I said I
had done an article comparing English Bible
translations. He called me up later and asked me
to come back and present the contents of that article
I sent out in about 2002 to my mailing list for the
Pacific Waves Newsletter which, unfortunately, I can
no longer afford to publish and mail. However an
archive of past issues of that newsletter can be found
here.
In that article I detailed a number of good and bad
resources for pastors including Bible translations,
concordances, commentaries, Bible dictionaries,
etc. I present an edited version of part of that
article on this DVD, particularly dealing with English
Translations of the Bible. Translation is a very
detailed endeavor and should only be undertaken by
those with a proper education in that subject and a
sound doctrinal background. I read a few books
on that subject and it helped me understand the
complexities involved. Hebrew is a rich language
so it is hard to distill one Hebrew word down to one
English word. Greek is a very technical language
and it is also not easy to translate. This is
why it is imperative to use the good English
translations out there for comparison along with a
good concordance and Bible dictionary.

A TALE OF TWO KINGDOMS Kingdom Now or Kingdom Come? by Sandy
Simpson
This DVD is a message based on this article.
There are two kingdoms being taught in
many churches today. Teaching about one of the
kingdoms is on the decline while the other is being
promoted all over the place. I am warning
Christians that they need to check out who is using
the word "kingdom", the books they have been reading
and recommend on building "the kingdom", the people
they have been hanging out with at conferences, and
what they mean by "the kingdom".

From Church To Emerging
Church DVD Series by Sandy
Simpson
The issue of the Emerging Church and
it's introduction into many churches and mission
organizations has reached a critical point. Many
do not undersand what is being leavened into churches
by the EC leadership. Many would be shocked to
know their belief systems involve Universalism, New
Age, defense of postmodernism, Interfaithism, and many
other false doctrines. In order to reach out to
this generation the EC leadership is proposing a whole
new "map" to deal with what they perceive is a lack of
understanding on the part of the churches on how to
communicate. EC proponants believe the
"scripture" for today is evolving and must change in
order to reach postmoderns.

Idolatry In Their Hearts Landmark
Book! by Sandy
Simpson & Mike Oppenheimer
Does having eternity in your heart mean
that you know God and are His child? Could Gentile
cultures understand the Gospel from the stars? Did God
create man's cultures? Has God always been in the
process of redeeming cultures from the time of Babel
by placing in them a true revelation of Himself? Is
there the worship of YHWH in all cultures and
religions through the names of supreme beings?
Have all cultures always had a way to make things
right between them and God? These questions and many
more are answered in this book that addresses the
false teachings of The New Apostolic Reformation
regarding missiological methods as being carried out
by many agencies including the World Christian
Gathering on Indigenous People, YWAM, and many Bible
societies.
The New Apostolic
Reformation - What is it and where is it going? Every Pastor
Needs This! by Bill
Randles, Arnold Fruchtenbaum, Jacob Prasch, Mike
Oppenheimer, Orrel Steinkamp, Gary Gilley, Dave
Hunt, Sandy Simpson and others.
This is a 6-DVD
expose of the NAR and it's leadership
of C. Peter Wagner, Cindy Jacobs, Chuck Peirce, Dutch
Sheets, Bill Hamon, Jack Deere and others.
Lessons In Forgiveness Great Study! by Sandy
Simpson Through the
years I have been presented with many
opportunities to forgive. Sometimes the situation
was so severe that it took me some time to forgive
and start the process of healing for myself, and
eventually for others. I learned that a Christian
needs to forgive other people even if they have
not repented of their sins. That can be really
hard if we let it be hard. But if we give our
burdens over to the Lord, He will carry them and
that frees us up to treat other people with love,
compassion, and be in the right frame of mind and
heart to set them up for reconciliation with Jesus
Christ. That does not mean we tolerate their sin.
We simply forgive them for what they have done to
us, whether perceived or real, and move on to
looking for ways to redeem them. We can then
present to them the "truth in love" even when we
have to rebuke them.
by Sandy
Simpson was written to
help believers to realize the absolute necessity
of growing to maturity in Christ. Many churches
are urging Christians to push aside discernment in
favor of experience. It is our hope that this book
will inspire many believers to fight the good
fight, finish the race, and keep the faith (2 Tim.
4:7).
The New Apostolic
Reformation - What is it and where is it going? Companion Book! by Sandy
Simpson is now available in book form. This
is the DVD script plus commentary by Sandy Simpson.
The commentary of the DVD series is not in the book,
but there are many more quotes available than in the
video series. Good reference material.
Also available on CD-ROM.
Letters To The Church Timely! by Sandy
Simpson is a fitting manual for the
Revelation Christian. All the precepts are in the
seven letters in Revelation 1:9 - 3:22 to help us
keep the faith, stay in sound doctrine, and reach
out to those who are perishing. I hope and pray that
this book will help the
reader to be an "overcomer".

(7) The Signs
& Wonders Movement Exposedby
Mark Haville, National Prayer Network, 1999 "The purpose of this video is to look at one
contemporary movement, which sustains, underpins and feeds so many
others: the modern Signs and Wonder Movement. In an age
when many Christians are prepared to hand over
responsibility for their Christian walk to 'anointed'
leaders, we have a recipe for spiritual deception on a
massive scale. This video will help those who are
questioning current phenomena and want to know whether
such movements are of God."
(8) Benny Hinn
- Possessed By Devils?by Rev. Joseph
Chambers, Paw Creek Ministries, 2000 "Hear Benny Hinn, in a guttural voice, say "I place a
curse on every man and woman that will stretch his
hand against this anointing." This was obviously
an evil spirit. Many more parallels are
drawn between the kingdom of satan and Benny Hinn's
ministry. See necromancy, etc. on this
video."

Spirit Of

Hinn by Jacob Prasch, Mike
Oppenheimer & Sandy Simpson, 2/01 "I am a little messiah". "I am a little god."
"I Am". Are these the statements of a true
believer? "Jesus Christ will appear bodily in
upcoming crusades". Is this how Jesus said He
would appear? This video explores the world of
Benny Hinn to a depth that few others have gone.
Are his miracle and healing claims accurate? Is
his teaching biblical? Is his transferable
"anointing" from God? Do his teachings and
prophesies prove that he is the type of teacher
Christ told us to avoid?

Yoga, once viewed by Christians as a pagan import
from the East, has now become mainstream in the church.
It's promoted as helping you get "in the presence of
God" when, in fact, it is a blatantly Hindu practice
that cannot be separated from Yoga. With critical
discernment, this hard-hitting and informative film
explores the ramifications of dismissing Yoga's core
spirituality. Blending biblical terminology with
this does not sanctify it. Many could "perish for a lack
of knowledge" about the dangers of Yoga and particularly
"Christian Yoga" -- a total oxymoron. Many believe they
can practice yoga postures, breathing, and focusing
techniques devoid of yoga's spirituality, not realizing
that yoga is an inherent part of Hindu philosophy which
teaches man and nature are one with divinity .Today,
yoga is experiencing a worldwide renaissance and in
America has more than 70,000 yoga teachers working in
20,000 locations. Although viewed primarily as fitness
instructors, these trainers are in reality the leading
missionaries of eastern religion in the west. The
twenty-seven billion dollar a year yoga industry is
marketed to students, athletes, businessmen, pregnant
women and senior citizens promising solutions for stress
reduction, concentration problems, and issues of self
confidence. Once viewed by Christians as a pagan import
from the East, yoga has now become mainstream in the
church through "Christ-centered yoga classes" designed
to help improve spirituality and experience "the
presence of God". But is yoga's mysticism compatible
with historic Christianity? Video-journalist Caryl
Matrisciana, who was born and raised in India, returns
to her native land to search for truth among India's
leading experts and examines what Christian Yoga
practitioners in the West are saying about their Yoga
participation. With critical discernment, this
hard-hitting and informative DVD explores the
ramifications of dismissing yoga's core spirituality,
and blending Biblical terminology and precepts with
eastern meditative techniques and practices.

The DVD that this promo advertises is one of the best

Meyer et al. We have watched the full DVD, which is
obtainable via the above link. It is well worth purchasing
and viewing. Neither CWM nor Philip Powell gains anything
from this. Benny Hinn is shown appealing for money, which
he promised to a partially blind boy for his education.
The father said no money was received, notwithstanding an
emotional plea to millions on TV. Hinn claimed the boy was
healed. The father and the boy denied it. “Suffer the
Children” takes a look into the lives and lifestyles of
some of the biggest names in tele-evangelism today. It
explores the origins of the Word of Faith movement, also
known as the Prosperity Gospel, and finds that its
origins are not Christian at all.

serious, and dangerously deceptive, spiritual
practices. Many of them, Christians,
"church-goers", non-Christians, and numerous Christian

the the of practices we tried to briefly define and
comment on: Mystical and Supernaturalistic Holistic
Health / Alternative Healing: Therapeutic touch, Reiki
Therapy, Acupressure energy channelling, Acupressure
massage, Acupressure touch, Acupuncture, Biofeedback
(energy / spiritual).Energy Massage Therapy:
Reflexology, Weight No More (Edgar Cayce's "Psychic
Message" Health Reduction Program). Spiritual / Mystical
/ Contemplative: Taize (Interfaith ecumenism, chanting,
etc)), Centering Prayer, Palms up, Palms Down,
Practicing the Presence, Breath Prayers, Lectio Divina,
Labyrinth, Sacred Space, The Silence, Non-Spiritual'
Martial Arts, Divine Mystery, Visualization, Attitudinal
Therapy. Our main reason for discussing these things and
warning about them is because they stem from either one,
or all, of the following: Mystical and supernaturalistic
health related methods, Founded on occult principles,
Dangerous forms of occult and mystical practices, Based
on the writings and beliefs associated with either
paganism, spiritism, occultism or mysticism.
(36) The
Audacity of the Lakeland Revival DVD by Mike
Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 9/08 Why did the Lakeland outpouring fail? Can Lakeland be
refuted as a real revival. This video documents the
teachings, exposes the fabricated supernaturalism that
was taught to the youth as real biblical experiences.
Numerous clips from its broadcasts on youtube prove the
unsound doctrine that made this a Toronto repeat. You
will hear the false prophets lift up Bentley to
introduce a new move of the Spirit and prophesy his
success. You will learn of the spiritual agenda these
men hold behind this revival (Latter Rain theology).
This video will help you show why Toronto style revivals

Martin Video Page at Christian Research
Service, 9/7/08 Known as the father of cult-evangelism, Walter Martin
(1928-1989), was the founder of Christian Research
Institute and author of the best selling book, The
Kingdom of the Cults. Through his articles, books,
debates, lectures, and uncompromising stance on the
truth of God's word, Walter Martin inspired a generation
of Christians to know what we believe and why we believe
it, and defend the faith, once for all delivered to the
saints (Jude 3). As you watch these videos, open your

(40)Discernment
Toolkit radio interview with Sandy Simpson by
Jan Markel, Olive Tree Ministries, 8/2/08 Making a clarion call for discernment, Sandy Simpson
from "Deception in the Church" talks with Jan about his
book, "The Discernment Tool Kit." Since the Bible places
so much importance on discernment, why are so many
lacking in it? How does one attain it? And how and why
has it been abandoned in the last 15 years? These
questions and more are tackled.
(43) The
Seeker Friendly/ Purpose Driven Church Movement
by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 10/08
This video is filled with information on what the
seeker friendly church model is and proves why it is
wrong. What is it origins and why has it changed the
church. Who does Rick Warren quote in the Purpose Driven
Life, his philosophy of ministry and means to bring
about change. The Hegelian dialectic is explained
(diaprax) so one can identify its working in various
aspects of our culture and church. This is a good video
to teach classes with and introduce them to why these
ideas introduced are not Biblically based. Also a good
video to give to those involved and have them think
deeper on the subjects.
(44) Transformation
Of
The Church by Jeff Whittaker, Herescope,
10/14/08 Pastor Whittaker gives a lively and animated report of
his personal experience attending Emergent church leader
Brian McLaren's "Everything Must Change" conference in
Goshen, Indiana. His entertaining and eye-opening report
details the extent to which this movment has adopted the
non-biblical practices and doctrines of earth-centered
spirituality.
(45)Identifying
The
Early Church by Richard Bennet, The Berean
Beacon, 4/09
It is of great importance to study the early Christian
Church. What were the beliefs and what was the basis of
truth that was held by these early believers in Christ? In
what parts of the world did the genuine early Christian
Church exist? Did these believers evangelize, and what was
their message? All these questions, and more, are answered
on this DVD, as well as exact quotations from leaders in
early post-apostolic times. Today’s Bible believers need
to analyze these historical facts. This is done in this
documented, professional DVD. Because of 4,172 viewers on
YouTube alone, and the great interest in this program, we
post it as our main DVD. Kindly make it known to others,
and if possible, link to it or have it have it placed on
an Internet Website or Blog.

(51)Spiritual
Abuse by Chris Lawson, Spiritual Research
Network, 8/4/09
Last week Jan Markell (Olive Tree Ministries) and I were
on the air live on KKMS, discussing Spiritual Abuses that
are not just found in Cults. We touched on various signs
of abuse in [abusive] Christian churches, why many people
are leaving these churches, and what people ought to do in
the midst of this painful tragedy. Jan's program has now
been posted online and may be listened to at through the
Understanding The Times Radio Archive. The summary
for the radio program is as follows: "Jan is joined by
Chris Lawson from the Spiritual Research Network. The
topic is spiritual abuse which is not just found in the
cults. Jan and Chris outline how it takes place in the
church today. What are the signs? What are the
characteristics of an abuser? And how can your rescue
someone trapped in an abuse situation in a church or
para-church group?"

Errors
of the EMERGENT CHURCH - An Expose of the Philosophy,
Doctrines and Leaders by Eric Barger of Take A
Stand! Ministries, DVD, 2/10
Today, in an effort to redefine Christianity, alarming
numbers of popular yet apostate “evangelical” leaders
known as “The Emerging Church Movement” are abandoning
historic and biblical standards. This unscriptural, even
deadly movement is part of the predicted “great falling
away” of 2 Thessalonians 2:3 as Emergent leaders now
proclaim that the Church has failed in its mission, that
doctrine is irrelevant and that the very basis of
Christian thinking has always been faulty. In this
seminar, Eric defines Emergent thinking and terms,
concisely exposing the leaders and errors of the Emergent
Church

(60) The
New
Apostolic Reformation on CrossTalk, Host:
Ingrid Schlueter, Guest: Sarah Leslie, 5/3/10 Sarah Leslie is an author and researcher, a member of
the board of directors of Discernment Ministries and
also a member of the Discernment Research Group. In
response to the May Day event held this past Saturday at
the Lincoln Memorial, Ingrid and Sarah brought to
listener attention a movement known as the New Apostolic
Reformation. This title was coined by C. Peter Wagner
during the 1990’s. Featuring teachers such as Dutch
Sheets, Cindy Jacobs and false prophetess Stacy
Campbell, the New Apostolic Reformation is centered
around a theology of dominionism. It teaches that
Christians can take down demonic spirits in order to
take back territories and institutions for Christ. The
movement is post-millennial believing that Jesus will
not return until Christians take over the 7 Mountains.
These “mountains” are institutions like the media,
entertainment, the economy, etc. In other words, their
eschatology requires that instead of reaching people
with the gospel one heart at a time, they believe they
are to conquer the earth one demonic spirit at a time
and make the earth perfect so that Jesus can
return.
(61) The
New Apostolic Reformation by Mike Oppenheimer,
5/15/10 Mike Oppenheimer and Jan Markell discuss the theology
of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR). Are the
self-proclaimed apostles today functioning as they did
in Bible times? Why are they different and thus proclaim
a different gospel? Their leaders say we can return the
earth to a "Garden of Eden" stage and that Christ won't
return until they do. They will accomplish it through
spiritual warfare, signs and wonders. C. Peter Wagner is
the head of this movement and most participants who are
also in authority are named. Some denominations are
sounding a warning to their people about the NAR,
including the Assemblies of God.

Thus, the signature of Satan is seen in St. John of the

(65) The
Political and Religious Deception of the Green
Movement by Mike Oppenheimer, 7/10 Deception seems to be in every aspect of our lives. One
of the strongest, deepest and most influential
deceptions in our day is the Environmental movement. It
has finally reached a crescendo with the exposure of
emails of scientists that covered up the facts for their
agenda. Is global warming science, politics or
religious? Is this really a life or death issue for the
planet and her creatures or is there more to this than
what we have been told? How accurate are the Scientists
findings. As controversial as this topic is, we can see
the media is on the side of science, BAD science,
dishonest conclusions are promoted in the media as if
they are factual. Understanding the new age agenda that
has influenced nearly everything. Its not about Global
warming but about using this threat to have control.
What we had heard for years is now confirmed as the
globalists agenda. Transformation of countries through
Green policies. Where did it begin? Where is it leading
us? What is their purpose in wanting people to be
environmentally friendly. Who are some of the people
involved and how organized are they? The video covers
the re-education of our children to be global citizens,
the media's bias and subsequent brainwashing of the
masses to accept green policies. it has also infringed
on the church. This video presents the quotes of those
involved and gives answers through power point, videos;

is taking place, become educated, this issue is

(68) Dangers,
Toils
and Snares by Allistair Begg, Truth For Life,
11/8/10 - How are things going these days? Is
everything running as planned, or does it feel like
you’re just barely hanging on? Maybe you’re lonely,
facing illness, stressed over problems at work, or maybe
you’re just overwhelmed with a never-ending stream of
challenges. As you survey the landscape around you, all
you can see are more troubles on the horizon.
Thankfully, we don’t have to face these twists and turns
alone. In this series of messages, Alistair Begg
considers some of the most common dangers, toils, and
snares that we encounter in our daily lives, and he
shows us how a knowledge of God’s character and the
Gospel will give us the tools we need to overcome both
common and uncommon challenges with a Biblical attitude.
This is a series of messages on this subject in MP3 or CD

dangerous and why Christians are deceived in their
thinking that they can combine yoga with the Christian
faith. The message includes definitions of Yoga,
the biblical prohibition in Deuteronomy 18 condemning
any and all involvement with the world of the occult,

is
Your God! (Audio Series) by Allistair Begg,
12/10 If you travel to India, you’ll encounter a culture that
is governed by the worship of hundreds of deities.
Western society is no different, although our gods and
idols tend to be much more subtle. But what are these
gods and idols? Are they real? How do they measure up to
the God of the Bible? Any agent of the treasury knows
that the best way to identify a counterfeit is to study
the real thing. The same is true with God: we can
identify false gods best by studying and knowing the one
true God. In this series of messages, Alistair Begg
examines the character traits of God that He reveals to
us in the Bible and through the incarnation of His Son,
Jesus Christ. Learn how the true God differs from the
false idols we all set up in our hearts and how a
relationship with this God should impact every aspect of
our lives.
(73) Crosstalk,
Monday,
February 28, 2011 - Brannon Howse: "Evangelicals Unite
With Glenn Beck’s New Age Mormonism" Brannon gives details concerning a recent Glenn Beck
program that he believes provides good evidence of a
major shift taking place within evangelicalism. He noted
how German Christians began to set aside their theology
and doctrine and began to embrace the higher criticism
of Julius Wellhausen who believed that human reason was
above the Bible. Eventually they united under a
bishop hand-picked by Adolph Hitler. Brannon believes
that a similar movement is happening today as many
evangelical Christians question the authority of
Scripture via philosophies like theistic evolution,
mysticism, gnosticism, post-modernism and uncritical
tolerance. It’s within this questioning atmosphere
that some evangelical Christian leaders are creating
allegiances with individuals like Beck, who embrace an
alternative worldview, in an effort to supposedly storm
the gates of Hell. In support of this premise, Brannon
presented audio clips from Glenn Beck’s program that
aired this past Friday, a program that featured Rabbi
Daniel Lapin, Historian David Barton, James Robison, and
former Vietnam Vet Dave Roever. Brannon noted that
if we’re going to reclaim America, it won’t be
accomplished by setting aside our theology and doctrine
and becoming more ecumenical; instead what we must do is
reclaim our churches and preach the gospel.
(74) The
Battle Against the Queen of Heaven on Mt. Everest
by Mike Oppenheimer, DVD, 3/18/11 How does the NAR, New Apostolic Reformation conduct
their spirit warfare? In this one of kind video you will
see firsthand the event that they claimed changed the
world. Ana Mendez claims that her spiritual warfare on
Everest was “one of the most important exploits the Holy
Spirit sent the church to do.” Certain new Apostles and
prophets are generals in a spirit warfare army. They
claim to have new revelation and the keys on how to
defeat Satan’s kingdom and bring God's kingdom on earth.
Ana Mendez under the approval of Peter Wagner went with
Rony Chaves, Silvia Venezuela, Doris Wagner and others
to Nepal. Doris and Silvia led a group in spirit warfare
prayer at the Everest View hotel, Mendez, Chaves with a
few others hiked Mt. Everest to Battle the Queen of
heaven and defeat her so Babylon would be overthrown.
Because: "the prince of this world has established his
dwelling place, a place where the imitator could sit
like God over all the earth. This place is the highest
mountain on the world it is Mt. Everest” (DVD “Mount
Everest Expedition”). The Bible does not speak or
instruct us to identify and confront principalities,
powers in prayer or travel to where they are supposedly
located to do prophetic prayer acts or declarations? But
according to the spirit warfare model of the new
apostolic movement, it is necessary. In their spiritual
warfare they think and do beyond what is written,
something the Apostle Paul warned of. We heard of this
expedition in the late 90’s but had not seen what
actually took place. What we see them doing is both
eerie and disturbing. Enhance your biblical education on
these mystical practices that have entered the church.
This video will bring awareness to the body of Christ of
what is really being practiced in their spirit warfare
methods and how far removed it is from what the Bible
actually teaches. After seeing this video it will
confirm that what they are teaching and practicing is
not a Biblical method of spiritual warfare and needs to
be avoided. Become educated to prevent you and others
from any involvement with spiritual warfare taught by
the New apostles and prophets movement under Peter
Wagner and Chuck Pierce. The video is 1 hour long with
clips and power point explanations of their spirit
warfare.

(76) Knowing
the
True Christ in an Age of Counterfeits on
Crosstalk Radio, Date: April 21, 2011 Host: Ingrid
Schlueter Guest: Warren Smith
Warren Smith (B.A. University of Pennsylvania; M.S.W.
Tulane University) is a free lance writer and community
social worker who was formerly involved in the New Age
movement. He has served as a program coordinator for
people with special needs, directed several homeless
programs, and has worked most recently as a Hospice social
worker in New Orleans and on the California coast. He has
written extensively on the subject of spiritual deception
and has been widely interviewed on radio and television.
He is author of The Light that was Dark, Deceived on
Purpose, A Wonderful Deception and False Christ Coming:
Does Anybody Care? Having been saved out of the New Age
movement, Warren Smith knows that there are many "christs"
in the world today. As we are about to observe Good Friday
and the resurrection of Christ, Warren underscores the
importance of knowing the true and risen Christ, not a
counterfeit. The discussion begins with mention of Shirley
McClain. She may not have been taken seriously years ago
because of her New Age beliefs yet she was recently on the
Oprah Winfrey Show. Why? It’s because some New Age
teachings are no longer considered “fringe” but are now
mainstream. Smith proves the point when he references
Purpose-Driven author Rick Warren who has brought in three
New Age doctors into his church through his “Daniel Plan”.
From there the discussion moves on to Marianne Williamson
and her deceptive book, A Return to Love: Reflections on
the Principles of A Course in Miracles, the deceptive use
of Bible terminology by New Age proponents, the experience
that pointed him to Christ, the ties that the
Emergentmovement has with the New Age, and more. Also
mentioned was Chuck Klein's Understanding the Times
conference on April 30th in Cedarburg, Wisconsin. Pastor
Larry Debruyn, Sarah Leslie and Warren Smith will be
speaking on counterfeit spirituality. Listen: RealAudio|

Once there were two Church choices, Roman
Catholicism and Protestantism, but in recent decades
Christianity has been redefined giving rise to
unprecedented quasi-Christian spiritual philosophies and
practices. Claiming to be "revivals" are these the
counterfeits Jesus warned would occur before His return?
(Luke 18:8) Many so-called Christian leaders are
introducing innovative teachings based on new Bible
translations and paraphrases that alter the timeless
truths of Holy Scripture. A more progressive
spirituality, with roots in eastern mysticism, is
replacing faith in God's Word. This "New Christian
Spirituality" poses as a more relevant "New Gospel" for
today's Postmodern culture that prefers subjective and
emotional feelings, rather than absolute truths.
Biblical Truth is the foundation for knowing God. His
promises and prophecies. At Pentecost, the Church was
given the Holy Spirit of Truth to be guided into all
Truth. Jesus Christ, Who is Truth Incarnate, taught that
after His death, resurrection and ascension to Heaven,
He would bring His Church to His Father's house before
returning with them to govern the world for a 1000 year
Kingdom period. Biblical faith trusts God's promise to
fulfil these prophecies. However many within the
Emerging, Seeker-friendly, Purpose Driven, New
Apostolic, Roman Catholic, Protestant, Reformed,
neo-Evangelical, Charismatic and Pentecostal Churches
deny many teachings and Prophesies in God's Word as
literal Truth. Many promote the false gospel of
transforming the world for the common good, encouraging
a "working together", and bringing about social justice
on planet earth. Through modern marketing techniques and
business management skills a global agenda of faith,
commerce and government is being orchestrated for
churches to partner with other faiths for world peace
and unity. This man made utopia will usher in the reign
of Antichrist and his kingdom, preceding the coming of
the True Jesus Christ and the True Kingdom of God on
earth.
In this important DVD, Ken Ham discusses the profound
cultural changes taking place in the Western world, as
God's Word is rejected and man's fallible ideas are
welcomed. Ken relates shocking statistics about why young
people are leaving church and abandoning the faith of
their parents. What will come as surprise to many is that
our youth are not falling away when they go off to
college. The sad truth is that by the time they leave
home, they are "Already Gone." Order the DVD here.
For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers,
disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. –
2Corinthians 11:13 Sandy Simpson, of the Apologetics
Coordination Team, joins me to discuss the New Apostolic
Reformation (NAR). Sandy runs Deception in the Church,
an extensive library of resources on the NAR and related
movements and organizations. Sandy does a fantastic job
of describing in just an hour a movement that really
needs many hours to really understand properly. It is my
hope that this episode will inspire people to dig deeper
to learn more about the New Apostolic Reformation and
the unbiblical practices that go on within the movement.
Please check out the show notes and visit the additional
resources section. The New Apostolic Reformation is a
dangerous movement that is carrying many Christians away
from orthodox, Biblical practices. This episode is
available to stream or download here.
False Converts in the Church - The Lord Jesus said,
"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter
the kingdom of heaven" Some professing Christians will
hear Him say, 'I never knew you; Depart from Me, you who
practice lawlessness".(Mat. 7:21-23). These are the most
terrifying words anyone could ever hear on judgment day.
This is why all Christians are called to examine
themselves to make sure their faith is genuine (2 Cor.
13:5). Witnessing for the Glory of God - Every Christian
is called to glorify God and one of the best ways to do
this is to praise the One who called us out of darkness
into His glorious light. This message will encourage you
to be a faithful witness for the Lord Jesus Christ and
help you overcome any obstacles standing in the way. In
these last days there may be nothing more urgent or
important than our obedience to the Great Commission.
''...through covetousness shall they with feigned words
make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time
lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.'' (2
Peter 2:3) At this End of the Age, Sundquist proves that
Satan is 'making merchandise of men's souls' in three
distinct areas: 1) Modern Psychotherapy vs Scripture -
Occult and New Age authors boldly brag that the human
founding fathers of Psychotherapy and Psychology received
their understandings from Familiar Spirits! Yet, today
even 'christian' churches are using Psychotherapy to
screen pastors and missionaries; 2) Some pastors today are
taking control over churches, over church bank accounts,
and then selling the land and the church! 3) Global
Conspiracy to divide the land of Israel for monetary and
political gain! Sundquist reveals that this plan was
conceived over 100 years ago, and brings down God's
special judgement in Joel 3. Almost 4 hours of solid
Biblical teaching.
(82) Joseph
Prince: Negotiating the gospel of grace - Integrating
word faith teaching with the gospel DVD by
Mike Oppenheimer, 12/13/11 Joseph Prince has broken in on the TV networks and has
become known for preaching the gospel of grace. But what
he has done is incorporated his word faith teachings
and promises with the gospel health and wealth;
exaggerating the gospel of grace. Prince is presenting
special revelation according to his view on the
gospel, teaching that we no longer need to confess
sin but instead confess our righteousness in Christ.
This video shows his quotes by power point and numerous
video clips video making it clear that the is a word
faith teacher and the basis for his message is the false
word faith teachings of Kenneth Hagin and others. The
DVD is almost 2 hours long.
What are Emergent Church leaders teaching that has
so many of our current generation tuned in to their
"doctrine," but tuned out to holy scripture? How have
Emergent leaders captured the hearts and minds of
unsuspecting people all over the world, departing from
many of the clear teachings, commandments and warnings
found in the pages of the bible? Often preferred to be
understood as a "conversation" or a... Go to the

(87) Joel
Osteen: The Smile of Deception by Mike
Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries, 6/18/12 What are Joel Osteen's beliefs based on, what has made
him one of the most watched and popular TV preachers?
Because of peoples lack of discernment they are unable
to recognize what is obviously wrong. The
teachings of Joel Osteen are not only Biblically light
and often out of context. Joel Osteen's open ended
spiritual inclusiveness is misleading many. Osteen's
teaching combines positive thinking, with Kenneth
Hagin's positive confession with the secret. He has it
based on word faith teaching that he learned from his
father. His positive thinking and confession
visualization techniques that are aligned with "the
Secret" that Oprah promotes. He is promoting decreeing,
creating by words; word faith declarations with
Visualization. All this amounts to a dangerous mix that
departs from Biblical teaching into new age/mysticism.
Numerous video clips with pp presentation, makes it
clear what has made Lakewood the largest church in
America. Order this DVD here.
(88) True
confessions of a word faith teacher - Joyce Meyer
video by Mike Oppenheimer, Let Us Reason Ministries,
6/22/12 Joyce Meyer is probably the the most well paid teacher
in the church. She lives an opulent lifestyle portraying
her prosperity teaching to her adherents. They don't
mind, they support her in this. Joyce's basis for her
teaching is word faith; the teachings of Hagin and
Copeland etc. It is positive confession combined with
the psychology of loving oneself. She also holds to the
word faith teaching of a continued gospel payment after
the cross; Jesus paid the price, completing it in hell.
While many of these teachings are not often seen on TV,
they are the foundation for everything else she teaches.
Words have power, we can even have angels to do our
bidding by our positive confession. This video is a
power point presentation with has both audio and
video.

the Gate: The Emerging New Christianity, Vol. 2
by Caryl Matrisciana, 6/25/12
This DVD (in five parts, 216 minutes total) lays bare
today's deceptive movements and the popular trends that
are leading an undiscerning church away from biblical
Christianity and into the ecumenical unity of the
one-world religion of the coming Antichrist. It gives an
urgent warning to believers and calls for a return to the
faith once-for-all delivered to the saints. Watch the
preview here.
(90) Rick
Warren's Panacea: A fig leaf P.E.A.C.E Plan by
Mike Oppenheimer, 7/11/12 Why is there such controversy surrounding Rick Warren,
his Purpose Driven teaching and PEACE plan? This video
shows systematically what Warren has progressed into and
where he is taking the church. Borrowing from his
mentor, business manager Peter Drucker, Warren
implements the 3-Legged Stool into the church(uniting
the sectors of government, businesses and 'faith').
Warren believes he has found the answer which will
result to solve the worlds problems. He continually
exposes the church to non biblical concepts and is
willing to align himself with the world and those of
other religions for what he deems a greater purpose.
From promoting a health plan with doctors that introduce
eastern type meditation's, word faith teachers and
others who espouse interfaith practices Warren has
become the quintessential ecumenist for our age. His
PEACE plan is open to anyone and everyone, even
atheists. For a Christian, unity has to be based on the
teachings of Scripture not on uniting with others who
oppose Christ to do generic good works. This is forming
a globalization of Religions (he calls 'Faiths'),
uniting with the secular, with political organizations,
building a unity as they did in Babylon. This introduces
Humanism as the common denominator for unity. In this
video we answer why Warren's fig leaf P.E.A.C.E plan
produces works without fruit and misleads the church off
the narrow road we are to be on. With numerous video and
audio clips in a power point presentation this is a must
see for all those whose church has become involved with
Warren's teachings and methodology.
(92) The
Life, Teachings and Legacy of William Branham
by Mike Oppenheimer, 8/18/12 One cannot understand the modern miracle revivals or
healing crusades of Benny Hinn, Rodney Browne
(laughter), Toronto, Brownsville, or Todd Bentley
without referring to the healing revivals of the
40’s-50’s.that were steered and popularized by William
Branham. Nearly all the practices of today's apostles,
Prophets, healers, faith ministries, are being copied.
Visits by angels and the Lord Jesus, words of knowledge
(telling people where people live and secrets of their
lives), new revelations were all part of William
Branham’s ministry operation. One can trace portions
of the revivals in our modern era back to him. The
Latter Rain teachings began by Branham and spread to so
many. Branham believed he was born with a personal angel
that was a gift. But he did not think of it as such
until he was converted and went to church. This gave him
an answer to a disembodied voice (spirit) that
accompanied him from birth and instructed him through
life, telling him future events and diagnosing peoples
diseases. The video is filled with audio and video on
crucial teachings of Branham (and others that admire
him) that show that his angel was in charge of the
supernatural taking place. Understanding Branham's
ministry in the 40'sand 50's is key to our day. Once we
know about Branham we can identify the strange teachings
and practices taking place from the new apostles and
prophets trying to bring their mystical (Latter Rain)
revival in the church today. (you can read our
articles on Branham in the Latter rain section). DVD is
one hour and 15 minutes long.

conference in Niles, Michigan June 21-23. Niles is the
new home of our ministry’s library, the Opal Reddin
Library, which archives over 40 years of research
material in the Latter Rain, Dominionism, Third Wave and
New Apostolic Reformation. We heard incredible
sessions from Warren Smith, Dr. Martin Erdmann, Pastor
Larry DeBruyn, Gaylene Goodroad, Jewel Grewe, Pastor
Jeff Whittaker, and Sarah Leslie, which covered:
� The emerging eschatology involving the
return of space alien creatures, Nephilim and Mayan
legends in December 2012. � The rise of Quantum Spirituality, merging quantum
physics with eastern mysticism and postmodern
evangelicalism. � Technocracy and Transhumanism and how the this is
changing the church and the world. � The latest research on the New Apostolic Reformation
and the Latter Rain false apostles and prophets. � How Hollywood is being used by the Quantum
Spirituality advocates to create stimulating new imagery
to promote pagan mythologies and idolatries. � How evangelical leaders are using ancient occult
writings, apocryphal writings, astrology and modern UFO
lore to build upon Scripture.
(94) The
Biblical
Uncovering of the Pope and the Papacy by Richard
Bennett, Berean Beacon, 8/26/12 None, but the Lord God, could have described beforehand,
office of the Pope and Papacy.Man could never have
anticipated the Papacy only God foretells it. That a power
claiming to act for God, to be "as God," in the midst of
the Christian Church, flouting His truth and mocking His
own Holiness, defies imagination. Yes a fraudulent
sacramental system and false pretenses have ruled the
world for ages from the very same seven-hilled city where
the pagan Roman Empire once ruled by military force. None
the less we trust the Lord of Grace to save many precious
Catholics from this system. All the powers of darkness and
apostasy cannot shake the Lord God's power and promises,
"For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of
yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any
man should boast." We pray for and expect a display of His
love power and grace as this DVD is viewed, to His glory
and for the salvation of souls. If you personally are
touched by it, please let us know.
(95) Daniel
Factor
Conference 2012 Speakers: Jacob Prasch, Jack
Hibbs, Paul Smith, Marco Quintana at California State
University of San Bernardino, 8/27/12 Although the vision of the world's future was revealed
by God to the prophet Daniel nearly 2,600 years ago, it
came with the stipulation that the complete meaning was
to be sealed up until those final days when "many will
go back and forth, and knowledge will increase". The
Daniel Factor expands on the foundation provided by the
recently released investigative documentary "The Daniel
Project" in which Daniel's predictions are allowed to
speak for themselves as to their literal fulfillment in
our present time. This conference does not take the path
of sensationalistic hype normally associated with the
likes of Nostradamus or "End Timers", which can require
great imagination to sell their conclusions to the
public, but instead provides Bible expositors who permit
what was revealed to Daniel to stand on its own merit,
allowing the audience to come to their own conclusion.
Beginning with the re-establishment of the state of
Israel in 1948, there are literally dozens of very
specific predictions in the Bible, all originally
provided long ago in ancient history, but which have
already come true in our lifetime. Building on the basis
of all those Bible prophecies which have recently come
to fulfillment, The Daniel Factor examines what God
revealed through His prophets that is to come next. The
Daniel Factor conference will provide attendees of all
backgrounds a deeper understanding of the basics
originally set forth in The Daniel Project documentary,
where specific fulfillments of prophecy which have
already taken place were examined by various experts.
Here, specifically, each speaker will provide a more
detailed examination of what the Bible states will come
next based on what has already literally come true.
Although such prophecies date back thousands of years,
they predict in astonishing details the specific
world-shaping events that are leading to the end of the
world as we know it today to something entirely new.
Daniel was specifically told, "the wise will understand"
as the meaning is unsealed and revealed in the last days
leading up to the final fulfillment of these events, a
time which has now come for these things not just to be
understood intellectually, but acted upon
spiritually. Watch Part 1
& Part 2

55: November 2012, Sandy Simpson: The New Apostolic
Reformation - Part 2 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s
clothing but inwardly are kravenous wolves." - Matthew
7:15 A year ago, for the November
2011 episode, I interviewed Sandy Simpson on the
New Apostolic Reformation. Sandy heads up the Apologetics
Coordination
Team, and runs Deception
in the Church, an extensive library of resources
on the NAR and related movements and organizations. This
episode is a follow-up to our previous discussion. We
began with the assumption that those listening have
heard the first discussion we had. If you haven't, that
episode can be found here. We answer some questions
people had from that episode, get into some further
examination of the New Apostolic Reformation, and try to
keep from repeating what was already covered as much as
possible.

(102) Church
of
Tares: Purpose Driven, Seeker Sensitive, Church Growth
& New World Order at James Sundquist
Media, 11/30/12 Can the Church borrow the marketing tools of the world
and apply them to the Church? What is the history of the
Church Growth movement and its false premises? Who is
involved in the new evangelicalism and second
reformation? Why are these movements embracing
contemplative mysticism? How does this movement play
into the New World Order? These questions and more are
answered in Church of Tares: Purpose Driven,
Seeker-Sensitive, Church Growth & New World Order.
Church of Tares chronicles the man-centered pragmatism
of these evangelical Christian movements in comparison
to the Bible's instruction for building the Church of
Jesus Christ. As a sequel to The Real Roots of the
Emergent Church, Church of Tares documents the
connections between the liberal Emergent Church movement
and the Church Growth movement. Both movements'
leadership were discipled by business management guru
Peter Drucker, who was attracted to the megachurch
movement as a social phenomenon that could bring about
his "new society" and New World Order. Megacurch pastors
Rick Warren and Bill Hybels as well as Leadership
Network founder Bob Buford all acknowledge Drucker (who
professed not to be a Christian) as their mentor and
have built their organizations upon his secular business
management philosophies rather than the foundation of
Jesus Christ. The fruit of these movements is great
compromise of the Gospel and the Great Commission. Rick
Warren claims to be ushering in a new spiritual
awakening and second reformation with his P.E.A.C.E.
Plan. But this reform appears to be a social reformation
rather than a spiritual one by joining together in
ministry with unbelievers to fight global giants. Such
compromise has led to the affirming response letter to
the Common Word document which declares Muhammad to be a
prophet and the Bible and Qur'an to be of the "same
Divine origin." Here is the
link
to the video on that page.
(103) Showtime
for
the Sheep by The Berean Call, 2/12/13 Could the church be enthralled with something that
might have a host of problems beyond just a popular
motion picture about Jesus Christ? T. A. observed a
connection between The Passion and trends
taking place among professing Bible believers such as
the increasing use of entertainment in presenting the
gospel, the ecumenical relationship between Catholics
and Evangelicals, the use of imagery verging on
idolatry, and the major drift away from the objective
Word of God to highly subjective visual media. MP3

(107) Questions
For Those Considering Yoga (4:18) - Video by
Chris Lawson, 3/8/13 It is for good reason that Christian pastors in India
have been found to weep over the ignorance of Christians
in the West that do yoga for "exercise." Christian or
non-Christian, it seems that most people in Western
civilization have never been properly warned about the
dangers of yoga. Asking simple questions, Chris Lawson
presents various straightforward considerations that
people should seriously think about before launching
themselves - and those around them - into influences
that the the world of yoga can produce within them, upon
them and through them.

(110) Israel,
Islam,
and Armageddon - DVD by Dave Hunt, The Berean
Call, 2003 With more than 3,000 years of history, Jerusalem is
mentioned an astonishing 800 times in the Bible, and
prophesied to play a key role in world destiny. Many of
these prophecies have already come to pass, with some
yet to be fulfilled. This video shows how the current
peace process is fraught with peril, why it is
impossible for Jerusalem to know true peace in our age
how the Antichrist will lead the world's armies to
destroy Israel, the truth about the Vatican's
intentions, and the Palestinian myth. It powerfully
corrects much of the "misinformation and propaganda"
aggressively advanced by the world media and others.

(111) The
Papacy's
Claim to have the Authority of the Apostle Peter (MP3)
by Richard Bennett, 5/12/13 For most Catholics, the authority of the Pope as
derived from Peter is the main cornerstone of their
faith. For others, it is the lifesaver to fall
back on when all else fails. The Lord clearly
stated that upon His divinity as �the Son of the living
God,�and His role as the Messiah He is, in fact, the
Rock on which His Church is built. Nonetheless,
the Papacy declares its Church to be founded on the
Apostle Peter alone. This is the lynchpin of Roman
Catholicism. In this audio, Pastor W. J. Mencarow,
along with Richard Bennett, clearly documents the
historical facts behind the Papal power
pretensions.
(112) Contemplative
Spirituality
Concerns Part 1 (Video) by Chris Lawson,
Spiritual Research Network, 5/31/13 Many people today - Christians and non-Christians - are
engaging in Contemplative Spirituality practices. What
many do not realize is that the Spiritual Formation
"centering prayer" movement, with its mystical and
occult methods and techniques, is part of a global
Interfaith system of spirituality, a spirituality that
is rooted in Eastern mysticism and philosophies such as
pantheism (All is God, God is all), monism (All is one)
and panentheistic (All in God, God in all) evolutionary
occultism (the "hidden" things, "universal cosmic
energies," quantum spirituality, etc). This short
introductory video speaks to fact that the "centering
prayer" and "meditation" movements within the the New
Spirituality/New Gospel/New Age movement are hostile to
the Person, nature and work of Jesus Christ and the
biblical Gospel.
(113) Rescuing
Loved
Ones from God�s Wrath (Video) by Mike Gendron,
6/4/13 God�s Word exhorts Christians to �save others,
snatching them out of the fire� (Jude 23). We would be
more motivated if we could get a brief glimpse of the
horrifying punishment that awaits those who die without
Christ. Salvation is of the Lord from beginning to end,
but He has given every Christian the privilege and
responsibility to share His Gospel with those who are
perishing. If we are to be effective in our witnessing
for the Lord Jesus Christ, we must do it God�s way
according to God�s Word. Here are seven biblical
principles to follow as you seek to make disciples of
your friends and family. The second message is �Why
Should Anyone Believe the Bible?� Mike looks at how the
Bible compares with �holy� books of other religions? Can
you explain to a non-Christian why the Bible stands
alone as the most trustworthy source for truth? Here are
10 verifiable claims that make the Bible the most unique
and supernatural book ever written.
(114) "The
Coming
One World Religion" DVD by Mike Gendron,

by using the most trustworthy authority for truth. Also
discover how the Vatican�s strategy for a one-world
religion is taking place without any resistance from the
Body of Christ.
(115) Protecting
Children
From Spiritual Deception Host: Jim Schneider,
Guest: Berit Kjos, VCY America, 7/10/13 Berit Kjos is a respected researcher as well as the
author of multiple books and articles. She is also
a concerned parent and grandparent who has extensively
studied religious trends, today's social changes, the
roots and branches of the United Nations and the
transformation of the Church. She has an active
website addressing contemporary issues and warning of
the spiritual trends of our day. She joined Jim to
discuss her book, "How to Protect Your Child from the
New Age & Spiritual Deception." Berit began by
communicating that the amount of deception, both subtle
and blatant, is increasing especially in areas like
sexuality and sensuality. Christianity is not
welcome in the public schools as global solidarity is
the mantra of the day. Berit explains how... ...schools are actively fighting Christianity and in
some cases actually corrupting the values of youth. ...the New Age movement is alive and well in the public
education system. ..."common core" teachings have a global goal. ...television and digital media depict Christianity and
the effect of these influences on children. ...parents can protect their children from attacks on
their faith. ...occult powers are being marketed within the world of
toys. ...spiritual deception is affecting the Church.
(116) Exposing
Christian
Palestinianism - DVD by Caryl Productions,
7/11/13 A biblical perspective on the
relationship between Israel, the church, and the Arab
world. Some 2500 years ago, the Hebrew prophet
Zechariah foretold, "Jerusalem will be a burdensome
stone for all people: and, all the people of the earth
shall be gathered together against it"
(Zechariah:12:2-3). End time biblical prophecy is
unfolding before our very eyes as the promised
ingathering of a dispersed and diverse cross-section
of Jews, including secular, atheist, agnostic, and
Jewish believers in Jesus Christ, are returning, from
all over the world, to their biblically covenanted
homeland of Israel. Controversy about the existence of
the nation of Israel is intensifying not only amongst
the Arab world but within Christianity also. A
political-religious campaign is gaining worldwide
acceptance as church leaders, denominations,
charities, missions, and humanitarian groups are
uniting with Muslims and other world religions against
Israel. Caryl Matrisciana narrates this informative
three-part documentary featuring Dave Hunt and Paul
Wilkinson. Each powerful program is approximately 35
minutes in length and features fast-moving, graphic
footage that exposes the rising tide of apostasy
gripping today's church regarding modern Israel.
(118) Global
Conspiracy
To STEAL The Land of Israel (DVD) by James
Sundquist, 8/23/13 'Peace talks' are now getting underway whose aim is to
carve a 'Palestinian State' out of Israel's ancient
land, Judea, Samaria and the Gaza Strip. God foretold
this occurrence 2,600 years ago in Joel 3:1-2, and
promised physical judgments upon those people or nations
who would 'divide His land'. Confiscating the Promised
Land and what are the boundaries of the REAL Promised
Land, called 'Occupied Territories' by Muslims, are the
main subjects of this video. Some argue that the present
land of Israel does not count, that there must be a
future regathering. But this is impossible because that
would make it a THIRD REGATHERING. There is no third
time for Israel. Listen: 'And it shall come in that day
that the Lord shall set His hand again the second time
to recover the remnant of His people... And I will plant
them upon their land and they shall no more be pulled up
out of their land which I have given them, saith the
Lord thy God.' (Amos 9:15) This DVD examines this
conspiracy to divide Israel's Holy Land, and discusses
the final judgments and plagues described in the Book of
Revelation. Some denominations have a position to divest
from the State of Israel and even aid the financial
abilities of their enemies to dispossess them from their
land. To whom will the stolen land be restored and even
expanded? What will be the final solution for the Jews?
What about the East Bank of the Jordan? Isn't that the
land that is truly "occupied territory" by ten Muslim
nations? What does Scripture say will take place in
prophecy to restore the land to its rightful owner, the
Jews, and when will this take place? Other topics
include Christian and Muslim Replacement Theology, the
war described in Psalm 83, wherein the surrounding
nations of Israel have been making merchandise of the
souls of Jews for thousands of years, and the origin of
Arab peoples. Old Testament Prophecies about the land of
Israel and the New Jerusalem will be cited, with ancient
maps and prophecy maps in the Middle East. For, behold,
in those days, and in that time, when I shall bring
again the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem, I will also
gather all nations, and will bring them down into the
valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there
for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have
scattered among the nations, and parted my land. (Joel
3:1-2; King James Version) We shall be eyewitnesses to
this incredible fulfillment of an End Times prophecy
uttered 2,600 years ago!
(119) State
of
the World - State of the Church (DVD) by Mike
Oppenheimer, 9/29/13 The world wants tolerance instead of war. The world is
uniting politically and religiously and the same
influence has come over the church. As the last
days move ahead, we can see what is developing. Are we
keeping the unity of the faith or aligning with others
not of the faith. This DVD teaching has an accompanying
power point presentation with numerous video clips
showing where the church began to falter in our modern
time: why and by whose influence. Ecumenical leaders are
bringing the church into unity with Catholicism and even
further unity with other religions. The New Age
movements also working with the goal of interfaith; to
have us all believe everyone's god is the same.
Arguments used such as by Gamaliel are addressed. The
sides are drawn. Either the church will influence the
world or the world will influence the church. This will
not only be educational but an encouragement for those
who test the spirits and want to defend the truth.
(120) Messages
From
Heaven (DVD) by The Berean Call, 11/7/13
A biblical examination of the apparitions of the Virgin
Mary and other supernatural activity in the end times.
Reports of paranormal and supernatural activity are on
the rise worldwide. For instance, tens of millions visit
apparition sites hoping to encounter the Virgin Mary.
Many believe that these increasing manifestations signal
the advent of a new era on earth. Thousands of messages
from the apparition of Mary indicate that we are
entering a critical moment in world history -
cataclysmic changes may soon occur. Those who follow the
apparitions believe Mary has come to turn us back to
God, while others insist that these events are either
fabrications or the working of Satan. Does the Bible
anticipate apparitions, signs and wonders in the last
days? Does the Word of God reveal the origin of these
phenomena? How might the apparition of Mary and other
paranormal events transform the world in the third
millennium?
(121) Good
News,
Bad News (Audio) by Allistair Begg,
11/19/13 Committing to follow Jesus is not a guarantee of an
easy, trouble-free life. On the contrary, believers are
to expect unjust suffering and be prepared to respond
rightly. Alistair Begg demonstrates from Genesis 40 that
the godly response is not to give up or seek revenge,
but to trust God and care for others, even in the midst
of personal struggles. Listen to Part
1 and Part
2.
(122) "False
Converts
in the Church" and "Witnessing for the Glory of God"
(DVD) by Mike Gendron, 11/30/13 False Converts in the Church: The Lord Jesus said, �Not
everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the
kingdom of heaven" Some professing Christians will hear
Him say, 'I never knew you; Depart from Me, you who
practice lawlessness�� (Mat. 7:21-23). These are the
most terrifying words anyone could ever hear on judgment
day. This is why all Christians are called to examine
themselves to make sure their faith is genuine (2 Cor.
13:5). Witnessing for the Glory of God: Every Christian
is called to glorify God and one of the best ways to do
this is to praise the One who called us out of darkness
into His glorious light. This message will encourage you
to be a faithful witness for the Lord Jesus Christ and
help you overcome any obstacles standing in the way. In
these last days there may be nothing more urgent or
important than our obedience to the Great Commission.
(127) Wake
Up Christians! Has The Emerging Church Movement
Arrived In Your Church? (Video) on YouTube,
various contributors, 2/12/14 Many Christians may be blissfully unaware of a steady
but powerful movement that is radically deconstructing
and re-interpreting the Christian faith into something
that isn't Christianity. You may think that you and your
church is immune but think again! As well as effecting
whole churches this movement is also effecting many
individuals in otherwise biblically traditional churches
through a wide range of books, DVDs, and seminars etc.
You need to educate yourself about this and be aware.
(128) The
Need of Discernment in the last days (DVDs) by
Mike Oppenheimer, 2/26/14 We are told in the last days that false prophets will
increase, that deception will be pervasive in the world
and IN THE CHURCH. What are the New spirit movements and
methods that are consistently springing up and entering
the church? Discernment is the need of the hour for our
survival and keeping the faith of Biblical Christianity.
In this video we use some of the worst examples to show
the dumbing down of the church in discernment, resulting
in deceiving the church. We will learn where and from
whom this originated in modern times. Revelations that
contradict the Bible, new books in heaven, glory
services, Dominion goals of the New apostles and
prophets, people claiming to go to heaven, prophetic
interpretation of tattoos and piercings, new age
healing, drunken stupors, becoming frozen and silent.
What is passing for revelation and Bible teaching is
astounding. We need to understand what is taking place
and stand in the faith to be victorious. How do we
identify it or refute it? How can we protect
ourselves and others. Discernment is a gift that
accompanies the Holy Spirit who is our umpire that keeps
us awake to distinguish truth from error. The Bible
tells us to grow in discernment, so that we can mature
and help others who are easily deceived. Being grounded
in the core doctrines of the faith and building on them
makes one immune to the many deceptions that surround us
today, this is what this video series is about. 2

(129) Contending
for
the Faith (MP3)by Mike Gendron,
2/28/14 We are living in that period of time when the Bible
says there will be a growing apostasy. More and more
people are falling away from the faith while fewer and
fewer Christians are contending for it. Jesus confirmed
the great apostasy of the end times when he asked a
profound question. "When the Son of Man returns will he
find faith on the earth?" (Luke 18:8). From our Lord's
rhetorical question we get an indication of how
spiritually dark the world will become as the light of
the Gospel diminishes. The greatest threat to the
Christian faith may be the apathy among most believers
to contend for the faith. There are very few courageous
Christians who are willing to fight for the truth. As
the battle for the souls of men intensifies, we can
never let a lie of the devil go unabated. We must speak
the truth in love! Jude's exhortation to contend for the
faith is so applicable for the church today (Jude 3).
Attacks on the faith are coming from all over. Every
Christian needs to enlist in the Lord's army and fight
the good fight of faith. Together we can contend against
false teachers, ecumenism, compromised gospels from
seeker friendly, purpose-driven and emerging churches,
the New Apostolic Reformation, heretical books,
mysticism, contemplative prayer, myths of people going
to heaven and coming back, yoga, "psycho babel," and
doctrines of demons. It is so easy for unregenerate
people to do ungodly things against the Christian faith.
However, Christians, who desire to do godly things, must
be exhorted to contend for the faith. For this reason, I
offer an important message for all of us to take a stand
for truth!
(131) A
Chink In The Armor (Video) by Jacob Prasch,
4/1/14 A message from the Discernment 2001 Discernment
Conference in Hawaii from the story of Jehoshaphat and
Ahab applied to many modern church leaders. Note that
this prophetic message was given 13 years before the
current situation in Calvary Chapels following the
passing of Chuck Smith. See new video by Jacob

of Gnostic Christians! (MP3) by Chris Lawson,
4/4/14 "Chris Lawson � researcher/lecturer �is both an
experienced missionary and an ordained pastor. As such,
he has spent much time as a researcher, writer and
counselor, helping people escape the clutches of
spiritual deception. They Talked about the cult of

(133) Escaping
Dangers
In The Church Today! Yoga, Reiki, the false
"anointing" and more... (MP3) by Chris Lawson,
4/11/14 Ray Gano 'Watchman on the Wall' Interview (Prophezine
Radio) with Chris Lawson (SRN) Ray and Chris discuss
major root problems confronting churches today, such as
the ignorance of Scripture, lack of discernment, lack of
accountability, sensory overload, the fear of man, Yoga,
Reiki, Contemplative Spirituality, the false "anointing"
and more. Other subjects discussed include properly
defining terms, the Occult, the New Age, and how to
lovingly warn people who are involved with these
things."Thou therefore...be strong in the grace that is
in Christ Jesus." (2 Timothy 2:1)
(134) Another
Tower
of Babel? - The Coming Global Religion! (MP3)
by Chris Lawson, 4/18/14 The above message is from an old discernment seminar
that I did back in September, October and November of
1999. Although this is an older message the Bible
prophecy and discernment content still applies today -
more than ever! Back then I was serving as a young
Calvary Chapel pastor and trying my best to equip
believers with expositional Bible studies and with
biblical discernment principles. All went well until I
started exposing deception within the church.
(135) The
Age
of the Earth and the Decline of the Church (MP3)
Host: Vic Eliason, Guest: Ken Ham, 4/26/14 Ken Ham is the President, CEO and Founder of Answers in
Genesis and the highly acclaimed Creation Museum.
Ken is the author of many books on Genesis including the
eye opening 'Already Gone' on why so many young people
have left the church and 'Already Compromised' that
looks at Christian colleges and how they treat the
authority of the Bible. Ken joined Vic to discuss
his latest book 'Six Days: The Age of the Earth and the
Decline of the Church.' Why do so many Christians people
and even leaders resist the idea of a six-day
creation? It isn't because of what the Bible says,
it's because they want to force man's ideas into the
Bible and reinterpret it which is an undermining of
biblical authority. This is rather unusual when
you consider that, as Ken noted, the Hebrew word for
'day' is used over 2,300 times in the Old Testament yet
no one questions what it means everywhere else outside
of Genesis 1. Ken looks at this decline problem from a
number of angles. For example, one of the chapters
in his book is titled, 'What is Science?' Science
simply means 'knowledge'. There's
operational/observational science that both Christians
and non-Christians have and historical science which is
knowledge about the past. The problem is, the
secular world mixes historical science with technology
and calls this amalgamation 'science'. This has
caused many to think that if they give up their
millions-of-years assumption they're giving up science.
(137) Roman
Catholicism today: Semper Idem Always the Same? (DVD)
by Mike Oppenheimer, 9/12/14 What are the official teachings of the Roman Catholic
church, what do they believe and practice? Scripture and
tradition, Salvation, sacramentalism, Mary devotion, the
Eucharist, are discussed from the Bibles perspective. We
look at the interfaith movement started by the Pope's
and the new ecumenical revival that the Pope Francis has
brought to Charismatics and Pentecostals through
compromised teachers. We look at the message Video and
commentary are made on the recent Popes emissary to
evangelical Charismatics who have purposely ignored what
they once knew as false teachers mislead them into
acceptance of this religious system. This DVD has some
shocking clips about what Roman Catholics believe, i.e.
on the eucharist (they believe is the hope of the world)
and how it will save people in their new evangelization.
What evangelicals endorse their new evangelization.
Catholics are on a mission to gain the church�s trust
and accept them as fellow Christians, or, to join back
to the church that they call the mistress of them all.
Catholics are on a mission to gain the Evangelical/
protestant church's trust to accept them as fellow
Christians, or, to join their church that they call the
mistress of them all. Can it be proven that they are a
church that promotes a false Christianity, can one find
salvation and the true gospel in the message of their
church? This is all covered in the 2 DVD set that is
nearly 2 hours long.
(138) The
gods
of the nations- the God of Israel (DVD) by
Mike Oppenheimer, 9/12/14 This 2 part DVD goes deeper into where the indigenous
people movement left off, and refutes the premise of
other nations worshiping God under different names.
Covering the book of Genesis we look at who were the
obedient that worshipped God? We examine the lineage and
the knowledge passed on, as well as who are the people
that the apostle Paul addresses in Rom.1:20-28? Who
walked with God. What happened at Babel after the
flood? Who had the true and accurate knowledge of God,
why did God take Abraham out of a pagan land to form
Israel? Are there hundreds of cultures in the world who
already knew or were worshiping the one and only true
supreme God? We look at the new paradigm Don
Richardson and his disciple Daniel Kikawa introduced to
the church and prove it is unbiblical. Many tribes and
cultures of the world have ancient concepts of the
existence of a �sky-god�, that go by different names.
But is this the same God that we are to worship as
believers in Jesus Christ? Are these nothing more than
corrupted memories within hundreds of tribes and
cultures that were encountered by missionaries? Did God
reveal himself to these hundreds of cultures as
Richardson and Kikawa claim? Is Jesus found in other
religions? Is general revelation of God or a
knowing of a supreme God in some distant past
sufficient? What is the difference of general and direct
revelation. Who are some of the people teaching to use
former supreme gods as the Father who sent the
Son, Io of Hawaii, Hananim of Korea, Shang
ti of China, Allah of Islam etc. are just
some of the gods accepted by some today as the same as
YHWH: Yahweh. You will see that this is a inclusive,
universal god movement that is prophesied in the Bible
and that this could be the greatest deception the Church
has ever faced, with its goal being... to usher the
entire church into an Interfaith movement. How
this evangelization method diminishes the importance of
Israel and replace her and her role with the other
nations gods. This video will bring us to understand
that we should not go by new philosophies or current
trends in anthropology but stay within the safety of the
Bible. This DVD is accompanied with power point teaching
as well as various video and audio clips. (a few audio
hiccups)
(139) Church
of
Tares: Purpose Driven, Seeker Sensitive, Church Growth
& New World Order (Video) by Elliott
Nesch, 9/20/14 Can the Church borrow the marketing tools of the world
and apply them to the Church? What is the history of the
Church Growth movement and its false premises? Who is
involved in the new evangelicalism and second
reformation? Why are these movements embracing
contemplative mysticism? How does this movement play
into the New World Order? These questions and more are
answered in Church of Tares: Purpose Driven,
Seeker-Sensitive, Church Growth & New World Order.
Church of Tares chronicles the man-centered pragmatism
of these evangelical Christian movements in comparison
to the Bible's instruction for building the Church of
Jesus Christ. As a sequel to The Real Roots of the
Emergent Church, Church of Tares documents the
connections between the liberal Emergent Church movement
and the Church Growth movement. Both movements'
leadership were discipled by business management guru
Peter Drucker, who was attracted to the megachurch
movement as a social phenomenon that could bring about
his "new society" and New World Order. Megacurch pastors
Rick Warren and Bill Hybels as well as Leadership
Network founder Bob Buford all acknowledge Drucker (who
professed not to be a Christian) as their mentor and
have built their organizations upon his secular business
management philosophies rather than the foundation of
Jesus Christ. The fruit of these movements is great
compromise of the Gospel and the Great Commission. Rick
Warren claims to be ushering in a new spiritual
awakening and second reformation with his P.E.A.C.E.
Plan. But this reform appears to be a social reformation
rather than a spiritual one by joining together in
ministry with unbelievers to fight global giants. Such
compromise has led to the affirming response letter to
the Common Word document which declares Muhammad to be a
prophet and the Bible and Qur'an to be of the "same
Divine origin." Written, edited, narrated and directed
by Elliott Nesch. Original interviews with: Paul Smith,
leader in the Calvary Chapel movement founded by his
brother Chuck Smith, who also wrote the foreword to Paul
Smith's book New Evangelicalism: The New World Order.

(142) The
Need
of Discernment in the last days (DVD series)
by Mike Oppenheimer, 10/18/14 We are told in the last days that false prophets will
increase, that deception will be pervasive in the world
and IN THE CHURCH. What are the New spirit movements and
methods that are consistently springing up and entering
the church? Discernment is the need of the hour for our
survival and keeping the faith of Biblical Christianity.
In this video we use some of the worst examples to show
the dumbing down of the church in discernment, resulting
in deceiving the church. We will learn where and from
whom this originated in modern times. Revelations that
contradict the Bible, new books in heaven, glory
services, Dominion goals of the New apostles and
prophets, people claiming to go to heaven, prophetic
interpretation of tattoos and piercings, new age
healing, drunken stupors, becoming frozen and silent.
What is passing for revelation and Bible teaching is
astounding. We need to understand what is taking place
and stand in the faith to be victorious. How do we
identify it or refute it? How can we protect
ourselves and others. Discernment is a gift that
accompanies the Holy Spirit who is our umpire that keeps
us awake to distinguish truth from error. The Bible
tells us to grow in discernment, so that we can mature
and help others who are easily deceived. Being grounded
in the core doctrines of the faith and building on them
makes one immune to the many deceptions that surround us
today, this is what this video series is about.

A Discerning Christian? - New Podcast: Spiritual

Lawson, 11/26/14 "Christian discernment begins first with salvation in
Christ (Hebrews 5:13-15), and then maturing as a
believer through the teaching of God�s Word (1 Timothy
4:1-8). As the believer grows one ought to be able to
discern between both good and evil, and to separate from
spiritual error and false teachings.
(146) Warning!
Spiritual
Deception Abounds! (MP3) by VCY America,
4/8/15 Today more than ever we seem to be bombarded with
individuals who are intentionally attempting to get
people to believe lies regarding Christianity, our Lord
and Savior and His word, the Bible. One example is
Reverend John Shuck, who ministers at Southminster
Presbyterian Church in Beaverton, Oregon. Reverend
Shuck claims he doesn't believe in God yet defends his
'Christianity.' He also claims that the Bible is a
human product and that while Jesus may have been a
historical figure, most of what we know about him is
legend. To Reverend Shuck, God is a symbol of
myth-making and isn't credible as a supernatural being
or force. This is just one example that Vic
presented of people today who, while standing in their
pulpits wearing their religious garb, propose ideas that
have nothing to do with the Bible. The result? A
survey of more than 4,000 adults shows that Americans
are conflicted regarding Jesus, the central figure of
Christianity. The survey showed that the idea that
Jesus is God just doesn't register well with
'millennials' (those born between 1984 and 2002). This
edition of Crosstalk also mentioned a new Bible that
replaces the name of God with that of rap star Kanye
West, Vic retells the story of The Modernist Preacher
Entering Hell and callers share their comments as well.
(147) Do
Catholics
Possess Life Eternal? (MP3) by Richard Bennett
and W. J. Mencarow, 4/9/15 In this message W. J. Mencarow and I with great
sensitivity answer this question. Because I remember the
grip that Catholicism had on my own soul for 48 years I
speak with affection for Catholics. Yet while we analyze
official Catholic teachings in the light of biblical
faith an irrefutable conclusion is reached. Catholics
who listen to this message may indeed be thankful that
we have delicately pinpointed issues, of which they had
been apprehensive for a long time. Some Evangelicals
also may be thankful that we have exposed the false
ecumenical movements such as �Evangelicals and Catholics
Together� and �Christian Churches Together.� Kindly make
this MP3 known to your family and friends.
(149) Perilous
Times
and the True Purpose and Dangers of Yoga (MP3)
by Chris Lawson, 6/26/15 This past Friday I visited one of the wealthiest
churches in Newport Beach, California. With full
permission from the "Holy Yoga" instructor, I sat
quietly in the back of the church Yoga Class. I simply
attended the class as an observer and I quietly wrote
down some notes. I was as transparent and kind and
respectful as possible when I arrived early and I
personally asked the instructor for permission to
observe the class. Permission was granted. I then sat as
silently as is humanly possible as an observer, sitting
near the back of the yoga class. After about 15 minutes
I was told to leave. Why was I told to leave? I was told
to leave because I was "making people feel
uncomfortable." Uncomfortable? Yes, "uncomfortable." For
taking notes on "Holy Yoga", and as a Christian and
former attendee of this church? Again, I simply went to
observe the "Holy Yoga" class. Even the church website
invites us to this class - "All generations and levels
of experience are welcome!" As I sat and observed the
blending of Yoga with Christianity, and was then asked
to leave the Holy Yoga class, my concerns for the
spiritual safety of the attendees was thoroughly
validated - again! (Perhaps more details on this
later!)
(150) Chrislam
Exposed:
The Seductive Lie of a Common God Between Christianity
and Islam (CD) at Crosstalk, Host : Gordon
Morris Guest: Sharam Hadian, 7/15/15 Shahram Hadian was born in Iran to a Muslim family.
When he was 7 years old, his family came to America to
escape an oppressive Islamic regime. He eventually
experienced a transformational life change when he
committed his life to Jesus Christ. This not only
changed his destiny for eternity, it also changed his
situation with his family and Islamic culture as he
immediately began to face persecution and disapproval
from his family and from the Islamic community. He is
now considered to be an apostate and according to the
dictates of the Qur�an, deserves to be killed with no
repercussions to those who might do so. Shahram is now
dedicated to reaching out and speaking out to let people
know about the deception of Islam, its true goal that
many are not aware of and the threat of Shariah which is
the heart of Islam. He spoke about these things at the
VCY America rally that took place in September. In the
first of this two-part series dealing with Islam and how
it's affecting Christianity, Shahram began by noting
there is no political correctness in the Bible, so as
churches preach truth and love, they need to define
terms such as tolerance and love. This involves
discussing the truth about whether or not Christians and
Muslims worship the same God. This brings up a number of
questions that Shahram's presentation tackles: --Is the
God of the Bible the same as the Allah of Islam? --Can
you be both a Christian and a Muslim at the same time?
--Should Christians be reaching out to Muslims seeking
spiritual reconciliation? --Should Christians and
Muslims be holding joint services? --Are the Bible and
the Qur�an equal? --Should we merge both religions into
one called �Chrislam�? According to Shahram, Islam
denies that Jesus is God, that he's the Son of God and
that he's come in the flesh. This is the message of an
antichrist spirit. Spreading this message is not only
what Islam does, it's what Islam was born to do and if
anyone says anything different, they are either ignorant
of the ideology of Islam or they're lying. Shahram
also refutes the following points that are foundational
to �Chrislam.� --There's a common word among Christians
and Muslims. --Muslims have a common love of God and
neighbor with Christians. Order Part

(153) Fantasy
Spirutual
Warfare (DVDs) by Mike Oppenheimer,
8/23/15 This is probably the most important DVD we have done
which covers one of the most dangerous of all the false
teachings in the church, Those who claim they will, or
have defeated Satan and bring the kingdom of God to
earth. This DVD contains an overview teaching on
spiritual warfare in Bible history. We cover who
is Satan, how he tempts us, the Devils strategies of
distraction and lies and the fallen angels influence
over mankind. The new age movement�s part. Who is behind
plans in the New Age Movement. The unity of
universalism. Those in the church that say the same
things, who are willing to accept and synthesize other
beliefs and call it Christianity What is practiced today
as spiritual warfare. Spiritual war by Breaking
curses. Numerous clips that show what they mean by their
own words; clips of the originators of the movement and
it connection to the latter rain, and Peter Wagner who
has written and endorsed more books on this subject than
anyone else. This is the basis for the New Apostolic
movements dominionist teaching that are permeating
churches (via Peter Wagner), at the same time they are
rejecting the teaching on the tribulation period and the
rapture. In it we cover the dominionist teaching of the
7 mountain mandate of the new apostles. Video Claims of
defeating Satan by those in the new apostolic prophetic
movement. The spiritual warfare meetings that bring
confusion by demon chasers teaching others to do the
same. YWAM�s involvement from the beginning to
today. What is our spiritual armor for our
protection. Where is the warfare really being fought? Is
our warfare in the heavens or on earth. Are demons
running wild and is the control for peace in the world
up to the church? The meaning of binding and loosing and
the real spiritual warfare the world is facing now and
in the future. What is the most feared thing we can
counter Satan with. How to fight against the enemy, and
how not to fight. The railing against the enemy binding
and incarcerating him. Why it is important to test their
teachings and read the Bible carefully.

(158) The
President Visits a Mosque (MP3) Host: Jim
Schneider Guest: Usama Dakdok, Crosstalk America,
2/5/16 Yesterday President Obama made his first known visit
during his presidency to a U.S. mosque. In this case his
visit was to the Islamic Center of Baltimore. In
attendance was the honor guard made up of Muslim boy
scouts who brought in the U.S. and Maryland flags before
leading the audience in the Pledge of Allegiance
followed by the recitation of the Qur'an. Should we be
alarmed by this or is it simply another example of the
free exercise of religion? Joining Jim to examine that
question and much more was Usama Dakdok. Usama is the
founder and director of the Straightway of Grace
Ministry equipping Christians to be effective witnesses
of Jesus Christ to their Muslim neighbors, as well as
ministering to Muslims directly. Usama is Egyptian born.
He studied Islam and Islamic law since a young age.
Usama has translated the Qur'an into English. He's the
speaker on the program, 'Revealing the Truth About
Islam' which airs daily on VCY America. Jim presented
information from The Daily Caller indicating that The
Islamic Center of Baltimore 'has deep extremist ties'
including the Muslim Brotherhood. It's a member of the
network of mosques controlled by the Islamic Society of
North America, a Muslim civil rights group named as the
unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation
terror case. The majority of the program featured Usama
responding to numerous 'facts' from President Obama's
nearly 45 minute speech given during his visit to the
Islamic Center: --Islam has a message of peace. --Islam
has roots in a commitment to compassion, mercy, justice
and charity. --Islam has always been part of America.
--Muslim-Americans are our neighbors, teachers, doctors,
scientists, and entrepreneurs. --Muslim Americans keep
us safe. They are part of our police, firefighters,
homeland security and in our intelligence community.
--The overwhelming majority of the world's Muslims
embrace Islam as a source of peace. It is undeniable
that a small fraction of Muslims propagate a perverted
interpretation. --Groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIL are not
the first extremists in history to misuse --We're all
God's children; Christians, Jews and Muslims. Usama's
responses to these statements from President Obama
underscore earlier comments where Usama described how
the only people that have benefited from 9-11 are the
Muslims. Why? They killed 3,000 Americans yet have
become the victims of the attack while at the same time
they build large numbers of houses of worship and are
allowed into America as students and refugees in ever
greater numbers.
(160) Transgenderism
Confronts
a Nation (MP3) at VCY America, Host: Jim
Schneider, Guest: Randy Thomasson, 4/29/16 Are you aware that the so-called transgender population
is estimated to be between two and three-tenths of one
percent of our total population? In spite of this,
the battle for special rights for those calling
themselves transgender is taking the nation by
storm. LGBT activist groups are bullying private
businesses, schools, as well as units of government to
force their extremist agenda down the throats of
American citizens. Joining Jim to discuss this issue was
Randy Thomasson. Randy is a veteran pro-family
leader and president of SaveCalifornia.com. Their
organization stands strong for moral virtues for the
common good. This Crosstalk began by looking at AB-1732.
This is a piece of legislation in the California
legislature that would mandate that the restroom signs
and symbols that say 'men' and 'women' or 'boys' and
'girls' must come down at businesses and places of
public accommodation. This includes church
schools, Christian colleges, religious businesses,
home-based businesses or anyplace where there's a single
user restroom. This means that if passed, even
California residents with at-home businesses would be
required to install a transsexual, all-gender symbol on
their bathroom door. The bill is written in such a way
that it motivates a business that is just starting or
moving, to go from offering 2 restrooms to offering only
one all-gender restroom in order to save money. In
other words, this legislation won't expand access, it
may actually limit it. Randy noted that the bill was
skipped over once again by the California
Assembly. They don't have the votes yet to pass
it. Randy believes there are a dozen or more
Democrats who are reluctant to vote for this radical,
transgender legislation because they know it isn't about
rights for an individual; it's about burdening other
individuals, businesses and religious freedom. The
key here is the idea of 'places of public
accommodation'. While this is only mentioned in
the California bill, it is specifically defined under
federal law under the Americans with Disabilities Act
from 1990. This means that wherever there is a
private entity that affects commerce (Churches provide
communities with a wide variety of social services that
come under the rubric of 'commerce'.), it means they can
be a place of public accommodation. Specifically
listed in the Americans with Disabilities Act are
nurseries and educational institutions which means that
churches and church-schools will also be affected should
AB-1732 pass in California. There is no religious
exemption in this bill. Randy urged listeners from all
over the nation to call legislators in California (phone
numbers are posted on the website listed below).
Jim included headlines that prove the unsafe nature of
this legislative movement, an audio clip from a
representative of the NCAA that shows how this agenda is
expanding, some national businesses that are allowing
people to use the restroom of the gender they identify
with as well as calls from Crosstalk listeners.
(164)Be
Good Bereans (Video) by Jacob Prasch, 10/6/16
Acts 17:11Now the
Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in
Thessalonica, for they received the message with great
eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if
what Paul said was true.
(165) Lawlessness
and
the Last Days (Audio) at Crossstalk America,
Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Dave Benoit, 10/7/16 Dave noted that according to the Bible, in the last
days, nation will rise against nation and kingdom
against kingdom (Matthew 24). Nation means 'ethnos'.
That translates to 'ethnics'. So he doesn't believe
we'll see Russia against America or Germany against
France. Instead, he believes the breakdown will be an
inward or ethnic one, with division taking place among
ethnic groups so that the house won't stand (Mark
3:24-25). Jim then added that we're seeing this happen
in Spain and Germany.
(166) Schools
to
Identify Extremist Children (Audio) by VCY
America, Host: Jim Schneider, Guest: Alex Newman, 11/26/16
The Obama administration is asking school teachers to
start spying on American students so that extremists can
be reported to the FBI and other law enforcement
agencies. This effort has been uncovered because of an
unclassified FBI report released in January of this year
entitled, 'Preventing Violent Extremism in
Schools'.Joining Jim to discuss this important issue was
Alex Newman. Alex is an international journalist,
educator and consultant. He has a degree in journalism
from the University of Florida and has worked for
numerous publications. He is the co-author of the book
'Crimes of the Educators'. Its subtitle is, 'How
Utopians Are Using Government Schools to Destroy
America's Children'. As a freelance journalist he writes
for the New American. This show centered around his
article titled, 'Feds Enlist Schools in War on
'Extremist' Children'. According to Alex, for years the
Obama administration has been involved in 'countering
violent extremism'. The Organization of the Islamic
Conference's alliance of 57 Muslim governments and
dictatorships actually originated this phrase. The Obama
administration uses it to imply that terrorism and ISIS
are being fought but just beneath the surface you can
see that the FBI's report is a net that is being cast
over a much larger area than just Islamic terrorism. For
example, Alex noted that the report indicates the FBI is
looking for people who have biases against others of
different sexual orientations. In other words, if
someone has anti-government views and therefore believes
the government should follow the Constitution, feel the
federal government shouldn't be recruiting school
teachers to spy on children, or that abortion is
immoral, such individuals would be labeled as extreme.
Jim read from the FBI report where it says, '...to those
maintaining biases toward others due to their race,
religion or sexual orientation'. So if someone doesn't
agree with same-sex marriage or the homosexual lifestyle
or if someone takes exception to Islam being taught in
schools, people holding such 'biases' would also be
lumped in with those involved with Hamas, Al-Qaeda and
ISIS. Alex went on to describe how propaganda is also
targeted. Propaganda, good or bad, is free speech and
speech, by definition, is not violent. So now we have
the U.S. government wanting to crack down on children
allegedly engaged in violent propaganda. This strikes
against the First Amendment and Alex indicated that the
federal government has no right to police the speech of
individuals. The document also talks about enhancing
student's social and emotional well-being. This refers
to sending in psychiatrists and psychologists to begin
labeling students with views that the government
disagrees with. This is already happening in the UK
where people who disagree with homosexual marriage are
considered to have a mental disorder. Alex believes this
paints a troubling picture and is part of the federal
government's increasing role in child rearing at the
expense of parental rights. What right does the
government have that allows them to measure the facial
expressions, emotions, well-being and political opinions
of children, their resistance to change, along with the
beliefs of their parents? While this is currently in the
testing phase, unless it's stopped, this information
will be collected at the state level to be housed in
federal databases at the Department of Education, the
Department of Labor and the Department of Health and
Human Services.

(172) A
Pastor Discusses the History of Israel and Why
Christians Should Care About Israel and the Jews
(Video) by Brett Meador, 7/2/17 The following talk by Oregon pastor Brett Meador (from
2013) will be very helpful in understanding the biblical
view of Israel and the Jews. Because anti-Semitism and
replacement theology are becoming more and more
prevalent within the church, it’s important to have a
good understanding of this issue. We think this talk
will help.

the
Occult Invasion a sign of the end times? (Audio)
by Dave Hunt & Tom McMahon, 11/13/17 Welcome to our ongoing discussion of Dave Hunt’s book
Occult Invasion: The Subtle Seduction of the World and
Church. The Bible is very clear that there will come a
time when the entire world will submit to a world
leader, one who will be empowered by occult abilities
(powers, lying signs and wonders) for the purpose of
deceiving the masses and subjecting them to his absolute
control. Second Thessalonians 2 and other scriptures lay
this out quite clearly. But this doesn’t happen
overnight; there has to be some preparation, and that’s
what your book addresses. You’re simply documenting the
preparation that’s been taking place, and today we’re
going to talk about this preparation with regard to the
occult seduction of our youth. But I think it might be
helpful if we provide our listeners with some biblical
background for understanding what’s taking place. Dave,
for the sake of some of our listeners who aren’t that
familiar with the Bible, can you give a brief summary of
what the Scriptures say concerning the rise of
Antichrist?

I have some questions for those of the World
Christian Gathering of Indigenous People (WCGIP)
adherents such as Don Richardson, Daniel Kikawa, Richard Twiss (deceased), Terry
LeBlanc, Danny Lehman, Aloha KeAkua,
YWAM as well as many in the Emergent Church (EC) ...
the questions arise from their claim that the
"supreme beings" of the nations are all the True
God, YHWH, the God of Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob. You can read more on this subject in
our book "Idolatry In Their Hearts" or in
the WCGIP
section of my site.
My main
question for them is this: When did ANY of the
Patriarchs and Prophets in the Old Testament and the
Apostles or Jesus Christ in the New Testament EVER
claim that the "supreme beings" of the nations
were Elohim/YHWH,
the one True God? Let's look at some examples
in the form of questions and you can check out the
source links as well.

Acts 3:19 Therefore repent and
return, so that your sins may be wiped away,
in order that times of refreshing may come
from the presence of the Lord;
There has been so much hype of
"revival" in our modern day that it is easy to
forget the true biblical criteria and definition of
revival. Revival cannot be brought about by signs
and wonders or "laying" on of hands to transfer
apostolic or prophetic "anointings". In fact there
is no such thing in the Bible.The Biblical criterion
for revival has, as a precondition, repentance. The
word "refreshing" is also defined as "revive".
