The Letter to LaodiceaIs a Warning to the TRUE Church Todayby Sandy Simpson This DVD is a message based on this article. Rev. 3:14-22 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches. Much has been made of this passage, using it to point out what is happening today in the apostate churches around the world. It is true that they believe they are rich in spiritual things when they are very poor. It can be applied in one sense to the Word of Faith movement. It is true that the "River" movement of Latter Rain teachings do think they are hot when actually they are cold. But this letter to the end times church of Laodicea is actually talking to biblical Christians who are born again. The apostate movements of the Latter Rain, Third Wave, Toronto "Blessing", Vineyard, Brownsville "Outpouring", Word of Faith, New Apostolic Reformation, World Gathering on Indigenous People, Manifest Sons of God, Seeker Friendly, Church Growth, Emerging Church and many others have already had their lampstands removed (Rev. 2:5) because of their apostasy and have already been spit out of the Lord's mouth (Rev. 3:16). We can know this because of what the Bible says about those who teach false doctrines (1 Tim. 6:3-5, 2 Tim. 4:3) and make false prophecies (1 John 4:1). These false churches, false movements and false brethren (Gal. 2:4) are already under the judgment of the warnings of the seven letters, as all but two of the original first century churches are today (only the two who Jesus did not warn still survive today). Therefore the letters to the churches apply to those churches who have not had their lampstands removed and been spit out of the mouth of God because of heresy and false prophesy. So the warning to the true biblical churches today remains. Why is this warning significant to us? It is significant because, by in large, it is the true Church today that has allowed the movements mentioned above to infiltrate and take over the agenda for what is called "Christianity" today.

| by Apostle Brian Simmons Reviewed by Mike Oppenheimer
And this is why we need to take this whole matter seriously.
The Gnostic's had tales like these in the Apocryphon of James. James writes Since you asked that I send you a secret book which was revealed to me and Peter by the Lord." I was writing that which was in my book - lo, the Savior appeared,...we said to him, "Have you departed and removed yourself from us?" But Jesus said, "No, but I shall go to the place from whence I came. If you wish to come with me, come!"
Mohammed said his Koran came from heaven. And what of Joseph Smith?
Simmons is then invited to pray by Sid Roth. He says he has a prophetic word for someone who "has Crohn's disease. This is a word for you "the healing fire of God right now is coming upon you and will heal you of that disease.
Look up healing fire, this term is not in the Bible but it is a specific new age term. He then prays for a blessing on each person that has taken part in the program today, let the blessing of the awakening wind, let the breath, the ruach of God, the awakening grace come upon everyone watching today and make us the day breakers that will change this planet."
As if what he said before wasn't enough to have concern this prayer shows how he is thinking. The terms he used are unbiblical, having no root to the Scripture. In fact his end time view he presents is not biblical either (this will covered later)
Simmons then says: "When Jesus breathed on me an impartation came upon me to do this translation And I believe he will breath on you when you read the words of the living God in this Passion translation."
Again, If I wasn't concerned enough before, I certainly am now. His new Bible is so special that you will receive the same experience (like a kiss from heaven) as he did just by reading it. Really? This will do more than the Bible ever did before to anyone in history. In other words wh7y bother with any former translation when you have the newest, anointed, improved version approved by Jesus.

Interview with Richard Nathan - From Communist to Christian |
at Lighthouse Trails, 6/21/20
Richard Nathan grew up in San Francisco in a family of Marxist-socialist revolutionaries similar to those on the Left today. His father, whom he says most resembled Bernie Sanders, taught his three sons to hate Christianity and America and that love was just a "bourgeois convenience." Richard survived the Sixties' counterculture revolution deeply involved in psychedelic drugs and New Age deception. Finally, in his mid-thirties, he returned to college. At that point, Jesus Christ showed him he was a lost sinner and rescued him. Richard met his true Father and began life all over again, this time learning the difference between a bad father and a good one. Today he is an evangelist and Bible teacher with a B.S. in Biology and an M.A. in Christian History. For the past 28 years, he has worked in crisis psychiatric units reaching out to the lost. A testimony for our times and just in time for Father's Day, this moving interview will reveal how our Heavenly Father can make up for the worst of earthly fathers.

Reviewed by Gary Gilley
Much could be said in way of evaluation of Heuertz's use of the Enneagram as a launching pad for contemplative practices, which supposedly "reconstructs" our lives, "reordering our identity into wholeness" (p. 192). But it should prove instructive that the Bible teaches spiritual transformation, wholeness and growth, through the means of the Holy Spirit and Scripture. Neither the Enneagram nor contemplative mysticism are found in God's Word. This should be enough to alert the discerning believer to the dangers of a system devoid of any biblical base.
