Absolutely Bizarre "Sermon" Promo Video from Life.Church
/We can just let this bizarre video speak for itself:
We can just let this bizarre video speak for itself:
Did you know God has a simple and easy way for you to get the life you really want? Would you be amazed to know God's intent is for you to reclaim your life of ease through his blessings and promises? What if you could speak to the storms and trials of life and make them go away just like Jesus did to the storm in scripture?
V.K. Fields shows us how to achieve all of that in her man-centered book "The Anointing of Ease".
She describes how having the life you really want is simple and easy, because you can generate results similar to Jesus.
She gives the impression we can speak to the storms we face in life, and make them go away, just like Jesus did to the literal storm. She says that by following the example of Jesus we can make storms obedient to us.
How does she measure up to scripture?
Jesus said we would have tribulation in the world.
Paul inspired by the Holy Spirit certainly did not agree with Christians having a life of ease. He said we are like sheep to be slaughtered.
He also said Christians groan inwardly, feeling the pain of creation.
Did Paul experience a life of ease? Was he able to make his storms go away?
Paul described himself as hungry, thirsty, poorly dressed, buffeted, and homeless. Did he simply fail to use his authority as a believer to make his life easier?
Of course not.
We all know such an assertion is total nonsense, just like this book from V.K.Fields.
V. K. Fields probably doesn't want you to read this: Shocking Stuff You're Not Supposed to Know!
Would you expect an anointed prophet of God to tell you not to pray, but rather to flaunt your riches in order to gain victory? "Prophet" Anointed Andrew also known as SEER1 is the prophet for you if your answer is yes.
A recent Facebook post encourages his followers not to pray, but instead to dress well if they want victory over their enemies.
Why get on your knees and seek strength from Christ in your time of weakness? Seek peace in prayer to guard your heart and mind? No way! Just put on your best watch, best shoes, and dangle the keys to your fancy car, that's all you need.
Who are we to listen to? Our "anointed" SEER1? Scripture?
Did you know the all knowing God created animals but didn't know what he created? According to Jesse Duplantis Adam knew more about animals than God did, and Adam even breathed life into the animals.
This is so absurd it shouldn't need to be addressed, but I'll address it. God created the animals before he created man. The animals were already described as living before Adam came on the scene. You can read about it in Genesis 1:20-31. Romans 11:34 says no one has ever counseled God, so the idea that God didn't know what he created is a huge load of nonsense.
Such heresy stems from a word of faith belief system that has man on the throne bossing God around with decrees. It's no wonder such a man-centered theology has the creation being smarter and more powerful than the creator.

Jennifer LeClaire's new book Mornings With the Holy Spirit With Journal: Listening Daily to the Still, Small Voice of God, appears to be new scripture based on the book's description on Amazon.com.
1. Written "as if" the Holy Spirit is speaking directly to you.
2. Recorded the words the Holy Spirit has given her.
3. A brief word from the Holy Spirit.
That is not the description of a quaint personal reflection devotional. The claims above put this book on the same level as scripture. Words spoken by the Holy Spirit, directly to you, carry the weight of scripture. That means if you don't believe every "word from God" in this book, and disobey the "words", you are in fact disbelieving God and failing to obey God
Keep in mind, this is the same person who told us to beware of the sneaky squid spirit.
LeClaire is also the same person who claimed to have important direct revelation for the church, but instead of just publishing it free online, she held it ransom, so you had to purchase her book about Angels of Abundant Harvest.
Jennifer LeClaire has a clear history of saying nutty things, and using supposed "direct revelation" from God to put money in her bank account, instead of simply sharing it freely for the edification of the church.
Her latest book is about as inspired as The Trump Coloring Book.
What should you do if you know a gay atheist who owned a bar and has a severe chip on his shoulder about Christianity? Most Christians within the bounds of orthodoxy would suggest praying for him, sharing scripture, and inviting him to church. But when you're a nutty seven mountains mandate guru entrenched in the NAR, you might suggest praying over a cake, potentially expecting God to use it as a means of grace.
Listen to Lance Wallnau, seven mountains mandate guru, and major NAR influencer share a testimony about an apparent gay atheist bar owner who was converted through an anointed cake.
You can view the nuttiness in its entirety here.
Listen to Chris Rosebrough talk about this theological train wreck on this episode of Fighting for the Faith: "Anointed Cake That Cures Homosexuality?"
In scripture Paul wrote of his struggles as an apostle. He described how he hungered, thirsted, was poorly dressed, buffeted, and homeless (1 Corinthians 4:11). Apostle John P. Kelly has a much different experience.
Biblical apostles reference the Holy Ghost in relation to the things of salvation. False super apostles view the third person of the Trinity as an amazing adjective to describe the paint color on their customized Cadillac.
A few days before the customized blasphemy post, "apostle" Kelly posted what looked to be a rebuke to modern day "apostles".
I can't see real apostles using the Holy Ghost as an adjective for a customized Cadillac paint color. On the other hand, I can see money grubbing, glory seeking "apostles" doing such a thing.
Did you know the litmus test for your very salvation could now be based on if you like or dislike The Shack?
Donald Woods, the Chief Spiritual Officer of The R Factor Ministries said on Facebook that perceptions of The Shack have created a new dividing line. (The quote below is reformatted for ease of reading; although it's still pretty incoherent and full of odd capitalizations.)
Donald Woods is very clear in his dividing line. If you like The Shack, then you're living on the side of the dividing line which lives according to the Spirit. We know scripture clearly tells us in Romans 8:9 that if someone does not have the Spirit, they do not belong to God.
The implications of this new dividing line are weighty, whether he understands the implications or not. Who knew so much hinged on your perception of one movie?
Lance Wallnau, the NAR "Seven Mountains" guru gave the post from Woods some credibility on Facebook.
So, Donald Woods is not judging you, but... if you don't like The Shack you're judgmental, religious and living by the "letter" and not by the "Spirit." What that phrase is distorted to mean is this: "Don't get too fussy about following the Bible, instead you should live by the Spirit." This is a complete misunderstanding of living by the Spirit; it's a way of saying that charismatic Christians have a more direct line straight to God that "regular" Christians don't have. "Regular" Christians only have the Bible according to this teaching, but "Spirit lead" (charismatic) Christians don't have much need for the Bible, because they have direct access to God through their feelings, impressions and experiences. So these "Spirit lead" Christians (who claim to have an intimate, personal relationship with Jesus) end up promoting this very unbiblical book: The Shack. Read about how William Paul Young has proven his great disdain for the Bible and Christianity itself in his brand new book: "Lies We Believe About God."
These "super spiritual" Christians have proven that they don't really believe and trust in God's Word, so they will gladly accept another book that tickles their ears with half-truths and outright blasphemy. Read more about this: Shocking Stuff You're Not Supposed to Know!!

This is one of the biggest "pastors" in America. This is not satire. This was part of a horrible sermon series. Listen to Chris Rosebrough discuss this on this episode of Fighting for the Faith.
In case you're thinking, "Well at least he's getting people to come to church..." you need to read this:
The Seeker-Friendly, Purpose-Driven Cornucopia of False Teaching
Here's a conference where only three people will be speaking (one of them is William Paul Young):
Here's a description of what they'll be talking about from their home page:
"Belief in a Trinitarian God is not primarily a Christian theological revelation as much as it is a metaphor for the nature of reality, both seen and unseen.
We find the pattern of dynamic relationship in the very structure of the atom, in our families, in ecosystems and economies. It is a pattern of mutual giving and receiving: in a word, Love. If Trinity is the model for Creation (Genesis 1:26-27), then it is a relational, benevolent universe.
Rohr, Bourgeault, and Young believe the Trinity—fully experienced and enjoyed—has the capacity to change everything. We already participate within this dance whether we realize it or not. But when we consciously engage in loving communion, we open ourselves to being transformed at the deepest levels.
We hope you leave with an entirely different way of knowing yourself and the world. Our teachers offer not mere information but wisdom that has implications for theology, psychology, science, and politics."
Does this sound like Christianity or some kind of New Age Mysticism? Here's a description of the speakers:
"Richard Rohr is a Franciscan priest of the New Mexico Province. He is the founder of the Center for Action and Contemplation and academic dean of the CAC’s Living School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. An internationally recognized author and spiritual leader, Fr. Richard teaches primarily on incarnational mysticism, non-dual consciousness, and contemplation, with a particular emphasis on how these affect the social justice issues of our time."
"Cynthia Bourgeault is a modern day mystic, Episcopal priest, writer, and internationally recognized retreat leader. Cynthia divides her time between solitude at her seaside hermitage in Maine and traveling globally to teach the Christian contemplative and Wisdom path. A long-time advocate of Centering Prayer, Cynthia has worked closely with Thomas Keating and Bruno Barnhart."
Here's how William Paul Young is described:
"Wm Paul Young is author of the best-selling novel, The Shack. In this innovative, yet true-to-Scripture exploration of Trinity, Paul wrestles with the timeless question, “Where is God in a world of suffering and pain?” Paul has “the imagination of a writer and the passion of a theologian,” as Eugene Peterson says. His recent work of fiction, Eve, offers breathtaking discoveries that challenge traditional beliefs about who we are and how we’re made, helping us see each other as our Creator does—complete, unique, and not constrained by cultural rules or limitations."
These are certainly very nice people who sincerely believe what they believe, but it's obvious that they are not having a Christian conference; this is a complete departure from Biblical Christianity. Yet, Young's book The Shack, and it's companion movie is considered "must-see" and "must-read" by many Evangelical Christians.
Here's more information about The Shack:
Shack Ebola Virus Outbreak 2 (Fighting for the Faith with more links)
Galatians 1:6-9 “I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel; which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed! As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!”
This is NOT satire:
"When the Sneaky Squid Spirit Starts Stalking You" by Jennifer LeClaire
Jennifer LeClaire is the SENIOR Editor at Charisma Magazine. Can you even imagine what kind of useless nonsense must be coming from the Junior Editor??
Look! It's a MONSTER!!
It's that time of year for C3 (Creative Church Conference), or maybe better described as "Training for Creative Goat Herders". Their promotional videos gives us a sense of the unsavory flavor they're about to release. Note the Word of Faith declaring and decreeing (really just shouting) by Steven Furtick:
Some quotes from the video.
"Church should be the most creative entity in the universe."
"Hearing from God, allowing God to use your uniqueness in your context, to communicate His glorious Gospel."
What does the emphasis on creativity and uniqueness confess?
Relying on "creativity" and "uniqueness" (buzzwords for stagecraft) is an outright confession that the word and sacraments that God gave his church are not enough. No one will come right out and admit the obvious belief system that's being demonstrated here:
"If you want to attract a big crowd, you've gotta put on a big show."
Jesus instructed Peter to feed his sheep in John 21:17. Matthew 25:32-33 tells us Jesus will separate the sheep from the goats.
These Christian leaders are being taught how to entertain goats, not feed the sheep.
Has your pastor ever publicly spanked himself before getting up to preach? If you attend Crossroads Church you can answer in the affirmative.
Crossroads Church held their Super Bowl of preaching, and of course they had a major supply of worthless nonsense. The self-spanking pastor was only the beginning.
They bragged that the church service was rowdy and offensive. They had a "family friendly" sex joke and pun, and even talked about junk in the trunk. Check out the animated gifs below just so you too can experience the worthless nonsense.
You can watch the worst of the worst below, including the self-spanking pastoral entrance, sex joke and pun, junk in the trunk, other antics, and even the pastor asking why people don't want to be associated with Evangelicals. Hmm. . . I wonder why?
If you really want to, you can watch most of the entire service.
This is a followup entry on a previous entry about their Super Bowl of Preaching gimmick. Yet another entry that does not need further commentary.
On Superbowl Sunday, Crossroads Church is having a preaching competition titled "Mingo vs. Tome." They're being incredibly honest about the event. They're admitting it's an irreverent, schticky thing meant to turn church into a spectator sport.
Like any megachurch gimmick they have created a promotional video.
Also, the obligatory promotional photos.
In 2016 they had a halftime show.
Church as a non-boring, irreverent, schticky spectator sport. Should this really surprise us from a church using a disposable coffee cup as their main brand image? I mean instead of something like a bible or cross?
Is it any surprise that this ridiculous "pastor" completely mishandles the Word of God? Is it any surprise that he gives a totally Law-based motivational speech that tries to manipulate his audience into doing more?
Listen to the sermon review on this episode of Fighting for the Faith:
Here's the comedian Galagher from the 1980's:
Hmmm, does "pastor" David Hughes remind you of any another guy jumping?...
Here's another great sermon review from BEZELT3:
In a recent sermon on "The Power of Potential" at Elevation Church, Steven Furtick is seen repeatedly begging his congregation for elevation of his ego, while he also self-brags on his preaching ability.
He directed the person running the Snap Chat app to make sure he was recording the sermon because he was "preaching pretty good". Another time Furtick lifts his head to God, and appears to be petitioning God for a crowd reaction. Furtick then begs his church to help him preach because he feels like he is at a funeral.
You will also observe Furtick asking for his audience to at least grunt in reaction to his sermon, as he makes weird gestures with his body. Furtick continues to self-brag by reminding Elevation that he has his own church, and can pretty much say what he wants to say.
Later his ego appears to be deflating as he repeats to himself, "I'm helping somebody." His church had some mercy and gave some positive reinforcement.
Then once again his ego was deflating, and he had to self sooth and repeat to himself, "I wish this was the rowdy crowd." That achieved the desired effect and his church once again elevated his ego.
In a final volley of self-aggrandizing rants that provoked his audience to a fever pitch, he brags and says, "This is the kind of preaching that will mess you up."
Elevation Church appears to be about the elevation of Steven Furtick's ego. He brags about his preaching, begs for praise, while going back and forth on his stage. On a closing thought, speaking of the stage, take a look at the picture below and see who all four spotlights are pointing toward.
Is Jesus in the spotlight? Who is he pointing praise and attention towards repeatedly in his message? The answer is sadly obvious.
This is a sin that can be forgiven because of what Jesus did for us on the cross. Pray that God would grant any church caught up in these antics full repentance. If you're in a position of leadership and are caught up in this nonsense, the forgiveness is for you too. Ask God to grant you repentance.
The Steven Furtick Cornucopia of False Teaching, Egomania and Hairgel
Elevation Church is ready to PUMP YOU UP!! (Is this a church or a fitness club?)
Jesus wants you to be RIPPED!!
Jesus expects you to FIGHT!!
Super Pastor Steven Furtick has really big muscles, why don't YOU??
(But it's all about Jesus, right?)
Btw, Super Pastor Craig Groeschel would like to mention that he has really big muscles, too...
(Pastor Groeschel is still trying to get past his reputation for having portrayed Harold Krenshaw on the TV show "Monk")
Vonda Brewer "prophesied" the dumping of Donald Trump as a candidate from the Republican ticket during the primaries, and then during the general election. She "prophesied" that Jeb and his son would be on the ticket instead. She has moved the prophetic goal posts many times as her "prophecy" was proven false.
Vonda Brewer is dead WRONG. "Dump Trump" was a fail. Today her prophetic gravestone has been installed. Luckily for her, it's only figurative, because under the old covenant, she'd be dead. Watch the video below to observe the installation of her "prophetic" gravestone.

Heidi Baker's Demonic Impartations at Bethel Church
Rolland Baker and the NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) "Super Apostles" don't want you to know about their involvement in the Charismatic Day of Infamy.
For those of you who think it's mean and unloving to criticize Rolland & Heidi Baker (or any other popular teachers) here's a list of Bible verses to consider: Shocking Stuff You're Not Supposed to Know.
Finally, here's an important article that will help you be more discerning and a lot less gullible: Defusing Demonic Dirty Bombs.
We are witnessing the merging of New Age channeling and false prophetic pronouncements from Charismaniacs, who have once again reached deep into their Charismania Adjective Grab Bag to give their latest vain imagination an air of credibility.
The Charismania Adjective Grab Bag has a simple formula. First, come up with a vain imagination and claim it's from God. Second, pin a legitimate Bible word to it. Third, reach deep into your bag of adjectives, and feel around for a correct sounding adjective. If you need a little help with ideas, the demons are more than happy to plant words in your head; or if you are a New Age channeler, you would say that you have "telepathic communication from Guardian Angels and Spirit Guides."
Jennifer LeClaire, senior editor of Charisma, has basically duplicated ideas from a New Age channeler. A recent article at Charisma News tells us LeClaire has released angels of transition over America, in order to create a POTUS Shield (we are not making this up).
Wow! Where does Jennifer LeClaire get these ideas from?? "Angels of Transition" is not in the Bible, but... maybe she's just using ideas from New Age Channeler, Cynthia Silk? Cynthia gets her messages directly from her "Angelic Channeler" and she talks about Angels of Transition just like Jennifer LeClaire! Here's a screenshot from Cynthia Silk's website:
Where in the Bible does it tell us there are "angels of transition?" Where in the Bible does it tell us we can "release angels?" NOWHERE!! These are 100% PAGAN ideas and practises.
In the article Jennifer LeClaire goes on to tell us that the Holy Spirit told her a kingdom would be toppled, and that she saw it with her own eyes.
LeClaire tags unbiblical charismaniac adjectives to her vain imagination concerning angels, and in the past she's claimed to have received vital prophetic revelation for the church, but held the prophecy for ransom until you purchased her book.
Should we really trust the "revelations" of this person who peddles God for profit as she attempts to validate her vain imaginations with words she pulls out of her Charismania Adjective Grab Bag? Is it even possible that the Holy Spirit is giving these so-called prophetic words to Jennifer LeClaire and New Age psychic Cynthia Silk? Of course not!
There is more...
They started something called POTUS Shield to create a serious prophetic and prayer shield over parts of the government. A prayer event was held at the National Press Club, including dominionist NARpostles like Lance Wallnau and Lou Engle.
Around the time Lou Engle was praying, a guy is seen using his selfie stick as others continue to pray around him. Is this a form of NARcissism? This is "Christian Grandstanding" with "Celebrity Super Apostles."
Many of these narcissistic, money grubbing, charismaniac and NAR leaders are fawning over Trump. Maybe because they see a fellow lover of money much like themselves reflected in Trump? Narcissists do love to look at their own reflection.
So what's the purpose of pointing all of this out? Is it an exercise in getting our blood boiling for no reason?
No.
Ultimately the purpose is to lead people away from these false teachers who enjoy the sound of their own voice way too much. We should have nothing to do with New Age ideas and bloviating "Christian" celebrities! People need to be brought back to Jesus, the Gospel, and into being firmly rooted in Christ, and not in the vain imaginations of "prophets" who peddle their "Christian fortune telling" as the voice of God.
