"Step Into the Healing Flow and Receive God's Will for Your Life!" Jennifer LeClaire

Here is a screen shot from Jennifer LeClaire's Facebook page today:

Is it really "a John 5:4 season in the body of Christ" as she says?

Well, John 5:4 is the just about the WORST verse in the whole New Testament to be "proclaimed" or "declared" or "decreed."  Some translations of the Bible (The NIV and ESV, for example) don't even have this verse-they just go from John 5:3 right to John 5:5! Why? Because this is the story of the angel stirring up the pool water that would cause people to get healed, and many experts believe this was inserted into the Bible later. Many reliable and early manuscripts don't contain this story. The real purpose of this passage is to show that Jesus is God (not that Jesus is your personal genie-in-a-bottle). He's the God who can (really) heal people, and we are not to trust in a pool that's been stirred up by an angel-or any other superstition. 

Jennifer LeClaire saying: "it's a John 5:4 season in the body of Christ!" is kinda like saying: "it's a stirred up pool season in the body of Christ!" 

By the way, less than a day earlier she declared it was witchcraft season:

How many people who "declare" that "they have their healing" by the "power of their confession" will remain sick and even die? How many will have been distracted from the true power of the Gospel? How many will have fervently tried to "step into the healing flow" without receiving anything? When LeClaire says that you can step into the healing flow and receive God's will for your life, she's saying that it IS God's will for you to be healed. Anyone who doesn't get healed is, in this very faulty way of thinking,  outside of God's will. It's your fault-you didn't declare it enough. You didn't believe it enough. You didn't order the DVDs and books enough. You didn't go to the conferences enough. You didn't do something... enough. 

The true power of the Gospel is to forgive sins and defeat death! That's greater than any temporary healing.

Here's something we can say with complete confidence:

“After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.”

— Mathew 6: 9-13

Here's a much better, Biblical perspective on healing from Joni Eareckson Tada:

Thor's Hammer Anointing??

We're not sure what to make of this video. It features Royree Jensen babbling in "tongues" while touching people on the head with what looks like Thor's Hammer. One thing is certain, there is nothing Biblical or Christian about this!

Prophetic Super Bowl Analysis

Lance Wallnau, a major celebrity in the New Apostolic Reformation and key teacher of the Seven Mountain Mandate took time on Super Bowl Sunday to weigh in on the prophetic significance of the game. We've posted Lance's pregame video and post game analysis. 

The absurdity of the these videos, in their attempts to plumb the prophetic meaning of Super Bowl 50, demonstrate just how far off the rails the Charismatic Movement has travelled. None of this nonsense has any value in fulfilling the Great Commission. In fact, this is an impediment to accomplishing the Great Commission.

Lance Wallnau is a leader within the New Apostolic Reformation.

Bethel Church Cancels "Serious Death" & Releases Chickens, Barbecues and Houses

In what can only be described as a moment of utter foolishness and nonsense, Georgian Banov at Bill Johnson's Bethel Church in Redding, California in the video below claims to be canceling "serious death" while releasing the Jubilee blessings of chickens, souvenirs, refrigerators, five bedroom houses and barbecues. 

Not sure what any of that means? Well, see for yourself by watching the video below.

Warning: You may want to wear protective gear while watching the video.

Here's a very slick and expensive video promoting enrollment in Banov's "Global School of Supernatural Ministry." Here you can "meet the new unstoppable you" and "change the atmosphere" and shake around and jump up and down a lot. Banov's video tells us "the grace chase is on!" 

---

“You must chase after my grace. And jump up and down a lot.”

— Said Jesus Never

Here are the Banov's in one of their finer moments:

Church of the Undignified

Here is a short intro video to Church of the Undignified. How many false doctrines you can count in this brief video?

Holy Spirit or Strange Fire?

The people who put this video together did such a fine job of capturing example after example of absurd and patently false manifestations of Holy Spirit that were touted as legit that it deserves an exhibit here in the Museum of Idolatry. As you watch this video ask yourself, "Why on earth would anybody who calls themselves a Christian believe that these are manifestations of the Holy Spirit?"

Ned Flanders even makes an appearance at the 4:07 mark in this video.

Charisma Magazine Says Jesus Wants to Give You Golden Tickets

Charisma Magazine just released an article by Bob Hartley titled 2016 Cashing in on Your Golden Tickets which claims that Hartley received a prophetic vision that reveals that Jesus is just like Willy Wonka and He wants to give you golden Tickets. Here is a portion of Hartley's nonsensical and unbiblical vision:

I dreamed I was sitting at a table with The Lord and he was starting to talk about (with incredible excitement) this time of restored or released inheritances that had never been seen, heard or even thought up before. I don't think I have ever seen His eyes so full of wonder and excitement.

He then spoke of how there had been inheritances put in our bank accounts, but they were for a point in time for us to cash in on. He kept saying "Did you get the memo?" and that it's time to write a check on the deposit of inheritance He had given us. Those around the table were looking bewildered but excited and intrigued. He kept saying "Didn't you get the memo?" He was so fun and alive. He said "You have an inheritance as kings and queens ... this is yours."

Next, He put us in little red wagons and pulled us up the hill to show us what our inheritance was. I felt like the one from Luke 15 who hadn't realized his inheritance that he had at home.

He said: "It's time to cash in on these golden tickets."

• I saw that each of us had many golden tickets, like what you get when you are at a carnival and you throw the ball and hit the target.
   
• We had hundreds of these golden tickets in our hands and each one was incredibly precious.

This so-called vision is utter nonsense and it is blasphemous and irresponsible of Charisma Magazine to publish this garbage as if it comes directly from our Lord Jesus Christ. 

The core problem here is that Hartley and Charisma Magazine are deceived and do not believe what scripture says about itself, that it is sufficient. We strongly recommend that you take the time to listen to this lecture on Sola Scriptura.

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”

— 2 Timothy 4: 3-4

Great Tribulation Countdown Clock

Are you ready for The Great Tribulation? If not, then maybe you were unaware that the Jim Bakker Show has announced that it will begin in March. See the video below for more information.

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.”

— Jesus Christ the Son of God

We think Jesus was right regarding knowing when the end times are going to happen. Therefore, we predict that The Great Tribulation will not begin in March as Jim Bakker has lead us to believe. March 2016 will be as prophetically significant as Y2K. The only one who is benefitting from this end times scam is Jim Bakker.

Bill Johnson: "I've Never Seen Anything That Violent Before!"

Was Bill talking about a terrorist attack? A criminal assault caught on camera? An illegal dog fight?...

Nope. He's talking about his wife, Beni, and the violent convulsions she was thrown into at the Toronto Airport Revival.

Beni says, "For 20 to 25 minutes I shook violently, and my husband couldn't hold onto me-he had to let me go; and he says 'I have never seen anything that violent before' and he still hasn't seen anything that violent."

If that isn't weird and creepy enough, she then utters this amazing (and contradictory) sentence:

"I had absolutely no control over my body at all, but I knew it was God; I didn't know what it was." 

“I used to convict people of sin and lead them to repentance so they could have their sins forgiven, and I used to direct people’s attention towards Jesus… But now I just shake them around violently. That’s so much better!”

— Said The Holy Spirit Never

Jews in France Must Be Prepared to Hide Themselves??

Self-proclaimed Apostle, Chuck Pierce in a recent prophetic video announcement claims that the Holy Spirit is warning France and the world that Intifada is about to break out and that Jews living in France must be ready to go into hiding.

Someone needs to tell Chuck Pierce that Ken Copeland has already taken authority over the demons of France.

Bill Johnson's Followers Imply: "He's Equivalent to Jesus" and "The Apostles Were Pharisees"

Since the article "Bethel Church Tells Witch She's On the Right Path…" came out, there's been a lot of comments made to Chris Rosebrough's Facebook page; most of the comments were supportive, but some were trying very hard to refute the article. The handful of arguments defending Bill Johnson and his church were pretty similar to each other and the article "Diffusing Demonic Dirty Bombs" covered most of them already, but a very interesting pattern emerged: The Bethel supporters (un-knowingly, to be sure) equated Bill Johnson with Jesus, and reduced the Apostles (the real Apostles in the Bible) to the role of unbelieving Pharisees. 

Bethel supporters claimed that "Pharisees" and "Religious Nuts" were responsible for criticizing that church; they are totally convinced that what goes on there is a genuine work of the Holy Spirit and that questioning anything there is the same as when the Pharisees questioned Jesus and refused to believe that He was the Son of God. Here's the GIGANTIC problem with that:

Bill Johnson is NOT Jesus, and therefore, being skeptical of his teachings is not the same as being a Pharisee! On top of that, Jesus and the Apostles tell us to "watch out for false teachers" and "test the spirits" and "watch your doctrine closely" but the Bill Johnson/Bethel supporters think that makes someone a Pharisee. So, in their own little confused world, they've made Bill Johnson equivalent to Jesus (we must not question him or his church-that would be blasphemy against the Holy Spirit!) and they've turned Jesus and the Apostles (who wrote the New Testament) into "Pharisees" and "Religious Nuts." 

Lastly, the other comment that was made multiple times was: "Oh, so now you're gonna believe a witch?!" This is the equivalent of saying "I don't want to believe this, so it isn't true." Otherwise you need to believe an incredible story that goes something like this:

"This girl, Annika, who pretends to be a former Christian but is now a (pretend?) witch, pretended to go to Bethel Church on several occasions so she could make up a story about it and then publish it on the Pagan channel of Patheos. She also brought along her friends who pretended to go there and then wrote about this pretend event. They also took photographs at Bethel Church, but those were all pretend photographs. This girl then pretended to get "prophetic words" so that she could blog about how encouraging those words were for her. She knew that eventually this would get published on a different website (half a year later), and that this would make Bethel Church look bad. She is very very very clever."  

Ultimately, the most important thing is to compare what is being taught at Bethel to God's Word-regardless of what Annika Mongen (or anyone else) has to say. 

“Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.”

— Galatians 1:10

“But as for you, speak the things which are fitting for sound doctrine.”

— Titus 2:1

“But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good...”

— 1 Thessalonians 5:21

“Hold fast (retain) the pattern of sound words (doctrine) which you have heard from me, in faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. Guard, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.”

— 2 Timothy 1: 13-14

What a Bargain-Bill Johnson's $400 Thumb Drive!!

Yeah, this is exactly what the (real, Biblical) Apostles would have done-sell their "sermons" for outrageous profit (this is from the Bethel Church webstore):

“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.”

— 2 Corinthians 2:17

“and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.”

— 2 Peter 2:3

The Bill Johnson Cornucopia of False Teaching, Bible-Twisting and General Absurdity

Bethel Church Tells Witch that She's "On the Right Path" and "God is So Proud of Her!"

This is an article from a former Christian who is now a witch; her blog is called: "Born Again Witch." She and her fellow witch-friends (called a "coven") visited Bill Johnson's famous Bethel Church, in Redding California, and they also visited Bethel's "School of Supernatural Ministry" where people are supposed to receive healing. Although she ended up being disappointed with the healing experience, she is very happy about the "prophetic word" she received from a Bethel "prophet" who "spoke a word" over her, and this "word" totally confirmed her involvement in witchcraft-just like all the other "prophetic words" she had received at Bethel on another occasion, which she writes about here: 

Christian Prophecies For A Witch

Here's how she sums up her experience at Bethel, after she pondered all the positive prophetic words she received there: 

“To me, receiving a prophecy from a Christian source was a powerful piece of magic that worked towards healing and integration. I felt like Jesus Himself and God Herself opened their arms to me and said ‘Child, surrender! Welcome home.’ ”

— Annika Mongen-"Born Again Witch"

These are not the ravings of some crazy person; in fact, Annika writes very thoughtful, articulate and transparent articles. What is truly amazing is that no one at Bethel lovingly confronted her about her beliefs-instead she was given 100% encouragement-supernatural encouragement- from Bethel's "prophets" to continue in her beliefs. 

So here's a question that Bill Johnson, Kris Vallotton and all the other false teachers at Bethel "Church" won't answer:

What spirit would encourage a former Christian to continue practicing witchcraft? Definitely not The Holy Spirit!

If you're angry at this article and want to refute it, here's a more extensive article to consider: Defusing Demonic Dirty Bombs; and these are a number of programs where Pastor Chris
Rosebrough exposes Bill Johnson's inability to rightly handle God's Word; and here are a bunch of articles explaining the many problems with Johnson and Bethel.

Closing thoughts: some readers will object and say "those prophets don't represent Bethel-they were just mistaken in these rare cases; no one is perfect. How dare you criticize!"

So let's get this straight, Bethel is a super-Holy church where God is constantly doing amazing miracles-it's experiencing unprecedented revival all the time; and Bill Johnson is a super-anointed pastor who hears directly from God all the time; and Bethel's School of Supernatural Ministry is doing amazing work in training people how to "operate in the Spirit" so they can do supernatural things all the time... but the very people who received training at this super-anointed place got their prophecies utterly wrong and accidentally encouraged a woman to continue in her witchcraft-on multiple occasions? And even though Bill Johnson brags about walking into a room and "changing the atmosphere" just by his presence, his own church (full of specially trained "seers" and "prophets") can't figure out that an ex-Christian (who has become a witch and has brought her coven with her), is in their midst? And this is the place that's filled with the Holy Spirit??

“Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy IN YOUR NAME, and IN YOUR NAME cast out demons, and IN YOUR NAME perform many miracles?’ And I will declare to them; I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.”

— Matthew 7:22

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but TEST THE SPIRITS to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

— 1 John 4:1

Ken Copeland: Whatever Your Faith Can Believe You Can Have it in 2016

Ken Copeland, in his New Year's Eve service for 2016 claimed that God told him that whatever your faith can believe for, you can have it in 2016.

No Joke!

This is a fulfillment of the Apostle Paul's prophecy in 2 Timothy: 

“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.”

— 2 Timothy 4: 3-4

"Prophet" Bushiri FAKES a Miracle With Adobe After Effects

In one the most blantant and shameful examples of a sham miracle that we've ever seen, so-called "prophet" Shepherd Bushiri has put together a video that his ministry claims documents an appearance of angels at a recent church service. But, one needs only watch the video to see that what appeared are cheesy postproduction special effects and not real angels.

See for yourself.

One thing is certain Shepherd Bushiri is not a prophet of the Living God. He is a false prophet and greedy charlatan. He will have to explain all this nonsense to Jesus Christ on the day of judgement if he does not repent. 

“The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” (2 Thessalonians 2:9–12)

"Prophets" Declare 2016 The Year of the Re: Slipstream Crossover Excel Tide Turning Year that...

Want to know what is going to happen in 2016 but are nervous about visiting a palm reader or psychic? No worries, the "Christian" equivalent to psychics and fortune tellers a.k.a. false prophets have been chiming in and telling the world what the Holy Spirit is telling them will be going down in 2016.

Thus far we can say that 2016 will be The Year of the Re: slipstream crossover excel tide turning acceleration in which God reintroduces Himself as El Shaddai as well as the year great tribulation starts and the anti-christ appears.

Does this information help you know what to expect in the coming year? We didn't think so.

Either God, the Holy Spirit is no longer capable of lucid communication or none of these so-called prophets are actually hearing from God.

But let's break this all down and see if it helps clear things up.

1. Charisma Magazine declared 2016 the year of the Re:

2. Lana Vawswer declared that the Holy Spirit told her that 2016 is the year of the slipstream.

3. Steven Furtick of Elevation Church claims that the word God gave him for 2016 is crossover. 

4. Keith Craft claims that the word God gave him for 2016 is excel [insert Microsoft Office and spreadsheet jokes here]. 

5. Cindy Jacobs claims that God has told the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders that 2016 is the year the tide turns.

6. Robert Hotchkin of the Prophetic Holy Orders Network Information Exchange Syndicate claims that God told him that 2016 is the year that God reintroduces himself as El Shaddai.

7. Jim Bakker and his guests have predicted that the Great Tribulation will begin in March of 2016 and the Anti-Christ will walk on the world's stage in 2016.

8. Joel Osteen says that the word God gave him for 2016 is Accelerate.

9. John Kilpatrick says that this is the Year of the Wind.

10. Dr. Paul Dhinakaran says that this is the Year of Edification and Equipping.

11. Jerry Savelle says 2016 is The Year of The Great Breaking Loose.

12. Dr. Jerry Brandt says 2016 is The Year of Manifestation.

13. The "Apostle" John Arcovio says the Lord clearly told him to Beware of Elymas for 2016.

14. The "Prophet" Brian Carn says 2016 is the year to Get the Anointing to Increase.

 15. Wayne Sutton says 2016 is the year to Awaken in Spirit and Change Your Name. 

16. "Apostle Prophet" Elizabeth Elijah Nikomia says (under the trusty anointing of Ruach Ha Kodesh) that Devastation is Coming! Devastation is Here!

17. Ken Malone (who ministers with a prophetic, seer anointing which enables him to identify, activate and release redemptive gifts in individuals, churches and cities) says this is the Year of the KAIROS OPPORTUNITY and Open Doors.

18. Doug Addison (who is a prophetic forerunner!) has a Prophetic Forecast for 2016... but you have to pay for it. You can get the paperback, the PDF or the Kindle version. Doug says it'll help you "get into sync with heaven for 2016." 

“Thus says the LORD of hosts: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, filling you with vain hopes. They speak visions of their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD.” (Jeremiah 23:16)

Jacobs Claimed 2015 Was the Year of the Turn Around

We've gone back and checked what Cindy Jacobs claimed God was revealing for 2015 and now we're really confused. As it turns out, back in 2015 Jacobs claimed that God told her that 2015 was the year of the Turn Around. But now she is claiming that God is saying that 2016 is the year Tide is Turning . 

But if God turned everything around in 2015 and then is going to turn the tide in 2016 doesn't that mean that 2016 is the the year God is going to smite you and take everything away from you?

One-Size-Fits-All 2016 "Prophecy"

Apparently New Year's "prophecies" now come in One-Size-Fits-All. So-called prophetess Cindy Jacobs recently announced that 2016 will be the Year the Tide Turns. She assures every single person watching her video that 2016 will be the year the tide turns in their favor.

So, quick get everyone you know to watch this video so that 2016 will be the year the tide turns!

If you believe that then we have bridge we'd like to sell you in Brooklyn.

"Prophetess" Lana Vawser Declares 2016 The Year of the Slipstream

It's not even Christmas yet and some of the so-called "prophets", like Lana Vawswer, are already claiming to receive prophetic revelations for the the coming year.

In what could only be described as prophetic diarrhea, Lana has published what she mistakenly believes are words from the Lord for 2016. Below is just a sample:

As I have pressed into the heart of the Lord for the next year, 2016, I felt He showed me one of the themes He wanted to focus on this year.

I kept hearing the words over and over "The year of the slipstream". 

SLIPSTREAM: "the airstream generating reduced air pressure and forward suction directly behind a rapidly moving vehicle."  (www.dictionary.com)

INVITATION INTO THE SLIPSTREAM

2015 has been a year of intense pressure, intense stretching, intense opposition and contending. I believe in 2016 there is an invitation into a divine 'slipstream'. The wind of the Spirit moving in great acceleration but the Lord calling us to a 'positioning' of greater rest. It seems completely opposite and 'illogical' in the natural, but many things the Lord is going to ask His people to do or not do in 2016 will be a great surprise, but MORE is going to come out of divine rest in whatever form that looks like for you (physical, emotional/mental healing, release of striving, settled heart in His nature and ways etc) in 2016.

I felt the Lord say that 2016 would be a year THE GREATEST demonstration of DIVINE REST of heart, mind, soul and body for many, but also THE GREATEST demonstration of ACCELERATION that they have ever seen. 

A place of shaking off the shackles of driving and seeing Him break off and bring deeper healing to any parts of the soul that would cause a 'pushing forward'.
