I discovered that one of my pastor friends, and his church, has joined the Bethel Church Network.\u00a0 This puts me at odds with him, his associate, and several other leaders in the church who are friends.\u00a0 I knew that they had come under the influence of some leading heretics, such as Joseph Prince.\u00a0 We had disagreements over NAR (New apostolic Reformation) doctrine, such as dominionism and the so-called great endtime revival.\u00a0 Eventually, because we live in the same city, we will come into sharp conflict over this recent decision.\u00a0 I cannot suppress the truth in me any more than one who has imbibed a heresy can suppress it. \u00a0In this world of shrinking friendships and a growing number of enemies, every Christian will eventually face this dilemma.<\/p>\n
\u201cNow brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his\u00a0child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death.\u00a0\u00a0<\/sup>And you will be hated by all for My name\u2019s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. \u2013 Matthew 10:21-22<\/p>\n It is a time of difficult choices. \u00a0We are having to choose between Christ and friends, Christ and family members, and even Christ and our jobs. \u00a0One day it may be the choice between Christ and our lives. \u00a0I have already lost friends for denouncing Bethel Music, which is very powerful alluring music that has drawn innumerable people into Bethel\u2019s diabolical influence.\u00a0 My detractors claims that the music is beautiful and that they can find nothing wrong with it.\u00a0 Do they not know that is the cleverness of the final deception?\u00a0 They are responsible for every soul they introduce Bethel Music to who ends up in fatal deception.<\/p>\n Bethel Church (Redding, CA) is an incredible cult.\u00a0 It is a heretical NAR church controlled by notorious heretics \u201cApostle\u201d Bill Johnson and his wife, Beni. \u00a0Bethel Church is established on a smoldering mass of heresy and heretical practices not unlike the aberrant Latter Rain Movement that plagued the early days of Pentecost.\u00a0 However, it makes the original Latter Rain Movement appear mild by comparison. \u00a0From their \u201cdead-raising teams\u201d to \u201cgrave-sucking\u201d practice, Bethel is an unrestrained, anything-goes cauldron of manifestations of diabolical lying signs and wonders.\u00a0 Participants often go into trances, hallucinate, and become so mesmerized by the Bethel Deception\/Delusion that they reject their families.\u00a0 I personally know godly parents estranged from their children and grandchildren because of Bethel Church.\u00a0 Like all cults, they are completely under the sway of their leaders, Bill and Beni Johnson (Beni allegedly change her name to honor heretic Benny Hinn).<\/p>\n There is no doubt that we are in the time of great deception, delusion, and apostasy.\u00a0 I believe it is the final one. The Apostle Paul wrote that during the final apostasy the working of Satan would manifest all diabolical power, signs, lying wonders,\u00a0and all deceivableness of unrighteousness (2 Thess. 2:9-10). \u00a0Christ warned of the intensity and captivating nature of that deception (Matt. 24:24).\u00a0 Individuals who surrender themselves to this vast and unprecedented cloud of deception will be sent a great delusion by God so that they will believe a lie that will damn them (11th<\/sup> \u2013 12th<\/sup>).\u00a0 The Bible doesn’t spell out what that lie will be, but I believe it will lead to complete subservience to the False Prophet.\u00a0 He will eventually manifest as the supreme, charismatic, one-world, \u201cmiracle-working\u201d leader of United Religions.<\/p>\n Everyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit wants to see the power of God at work in their lives.\u00a0 The Holy Spirit is still working powerfully through surrendered vessels.\u00a0 \u00a0However, there is a great danger in becoming obsessed with signs and wonders.\u00a0 What is the greater benefit:\u00a0 to see a sign or wonder in the church meeting, or to receive something from God\u2019s word that makes you stronger, better equipped to face end times deception and prepared for the unprecedented evil storm?\u00a0 Gold dust falling from the ceiling, oil appearing on people\u2019s face and hands, rocking for hours in a trance, lying on a grave trying to suck the anointing out of a dead body, running around crying out, \u201cWakey, wakey wakey,\u201d (Beni Johnson in the Mojave Desert, http:\/\/www.benij.org\/blog.php?id=1<\/a> ) trying to awaken angels, will NOT prepare you to overcome the final deception.\u00a0 Instead, it will guarantee you a place in the apostasy.\u00a0 Bethel Church is a doorway to eternal darkness and hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I discovered that one of my pastor friends, and his church, has joined the Bethel Church Network.\u00a0 This puts me at odds with him, his associate, and several other leaders in the church who are friends.\u00a0 I knew that they had come under the influence of some leading heretics, such as Joseph Prince.\u00a0 We had […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-942","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","post-preview"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/paIm2N-fc","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=942"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":943,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/942\/revisions\/943"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=942"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=942"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.truthkeepers.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=942"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
