This helped me today reassess my thoughts on anxiety. Maybe it could help you too? 18 minutes about. God Bless

Good 24 minute video I found helpful for me. As some of you may know I’m going through a little bit of anxiety and grief lately over the Word of Faith remodel of a Pentecostal church in my community. For those that don’t know NAR is just a different side of the sane coin as Word of Faith. Just blended with more New Age and cultish teaching and more emphasis on new revelation and more obsession with politics

Really informative video if you’re trying to piece together the origins of why deliverance has bounced back Recently. Hour 6 minutes run time

Please pray for me! For those of you that don’t know me well I’ve been doing pretty extensive research on the origins of the Word of Faith and NAR Movements and their offshoots. A local Pentecostal Church in my community that I have family and friends in is sinking further towards this type of false theology. It’s weighing my spirits heavy enough that I think I will take my own advice I’ve given to others. I’m going to step back from having anything to do with church history or theology for a week besides what’s actually required of me. Please pray for my piece and sanity! Most importantly pray for those consumed within these camps. Please! There’s many brothers and sisters but also many people within these systems who don’t know the gospel and are false converts by definition

Then coincidentally I also got into a more or less unplanned debate over the Gospel and the possibility of Christian demonization. It was intense debate. Overall I feel God was glorified in the end. But this brother was very harsh and antagonistic. I kept trying to divert the conversation and he pretty much trolled me. In the end he blocked me and conceded tó the weight of the Word of God over manmade myths

I find comfort tonight in Psalms 73. Reading how Asaph also struggled with the seeming success of the wicked. Let’s take heart thst it’s only a season. This world is not our home after all! There’s a much better promise down the road that exceeds the temporary highs of this crumbling world.

If you’ve read tó the end thank you! God bless you and keep you and make his face tó shine upon you.

“The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold." (Psalm 18:2, NIV)

The Psalmist describes the many ways that God protects and provides for His people. He is our rock, a firm foundation that will never waver. He is our fortress, offering security and safety from the storms of life. He is our deliverer, rescuing us from danger and harm. We can take refuge in Him because He is faithful to shield us and provide the strength we need. Knowing that God is our stronghold gives us peace and confidence in His constant protection.

Dawn Hill cracks apart “Deliverance” and it’s multiple plot holes…..AGAIN

This almost 9 minutes video is part of a longer video. But in this less than 9 minutes Dawn pretty much smacks down the theology of deliverance and the multiple ways it contradicts the Bible and basic logic. Jesus wants you to love the Lord your God with all your heart soul mind and strength! Luke 10:27
Use your logic and test things against the Bible to see if these teachings (or anything) is from God ! Acts 17:11. 1 Thessalonians 5:21-22!

John 8:31-32
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, ‘If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’

Making the Bible the place that you go to every day, is a gamechanger. Not only does it help you understand the truth, but it helps free you from believing lies, reminds you of your value, and lets you know where your identity is found.

Pray for understanding of the biblical text.
Be teachable. This requires humility and a true desire to know God as He has revealed Himself in His Word. This may mean acknowledging that we have been understanding the Scriptures wrongly, or following false teachings. That kind of repentance is part of taking up your cross and following
Scripture warns us about the seriousness of handling God’s truth wrongly.
Don't be a man pleaser.
Seek to please God.
Search the Scriptures. Compare Scripture with Scripture. Test every teaching against the Word of God. The Holy Spirit does not lead His people away from the Scriptures He inspired, but into a right understanding of them.

“Open my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your law Psalm 119:18.

“If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God” James 1:5.

It's really that simple.
The desire for God above all things must be present, and where it is not, we must go to Him honestly. And if it is weak or lacking, cry out to the Lord: “I believe; help my unbelief” Mark 9:24. Ask Him to change the desires of your heart and to give you what you do not have in yourself.

For it is God who works in us, both to will and to do according to His good pleasure Philippians 2:13
This was posted by a friend in a Facebook group and felt like it was an important thorough reminder! God Bless!!

Please pray for me as I’ll pray for you whoever you are in this regard. We have to stand firm against the heresy of the Deliverance Movement. Not allow them to snuff out the truth of the Gospel and the Power of the Spirit to protect Christians. Yet try to stay loving simultaneously. It’s hard dealing with the arrogance and cold hearted ness of those deep within this movement. We need patience and guidance. We need to love them. BUT we need to love them enough to tell them the truth. Tó tell them God submits to no legal rights or soul ties of any entity. Any Force. God does as he pleases in heaven Earth the seas and the depths. Psalm 135:6

Pray for me in this regard! So hard to be firm in your faith and not sway from the truth but do it patiently. For those that don’t know I do a lot of interaction reaching out to people in my community and nearby that belong to a really backwards Latter Rain Charismatic Church. And I interact with a Mormon friend. Pray for me on this journey of being politely corrective and patient and kind.

Interesting 10 minute conversation between Biola University professor Holly Pivec (author of Counterfeit Kingdom) and a former magician

Hey friends, it’s been awhile since I posted a deep dive deconstruct/ reconstruct video. So this is a 1 hour 47 minute video. This breaks down the huge problems and inconsistencies of deliverance ministry. I highly recommend if you have the time to listen while doing something else and are eager to continue untangling from the lies we’ve been fed. This is part 1. I will later on post a follow up video. So as not to overwhelm anyone.

Hello brothers and sisters in Christ

​​I wanted to share something that’s been on my mind for a while. I found Christ when I was younger, and honestly, I’m the only Christian in my entire classroom. Even though my family can trace our ancestry all the way back to the early Church, I’m pretty isolated locally, so I spend a lot of time on international platforms trying to connect with other believers worldwide

​But lately, there’s a deeply troubling trend that many of especially those outside the West re just utterly exhausted by

​I’m talking about Westerners who call themselves Christians but seem to spend 100% of their energy defending things like homosexuality, abortion, and other sins clearly condemned in Scripture They aggressively push modern ideologies as if that’s the actual core of the Gospel

​Meanwhile, right now in the Middle East, Africa, and beyond, our real brothers and sisters are facing brutal persecution and literally dying for their faith. While the global Church is bleeding, this Western crowd is busy trying to legitimize unbiblical concepts under the banner of Christianity completely distorting our faith to the rest of the world

​Honestly, we are just drained by this compromise. I pray that the global Christian community wakes up, rejects this distortion and finally unites with one voice to focus on what actually matters
