Please use extreme caution when seeking another person/ministry for spiritual healing. A growing ’miracle’ movement is called the ’healing rooms ministry’, based on a revival of the teachings of John G. Lake. These ’healing rooms’ appear to be Christian, but once you test their doctrines, you will see they are based on the teachings of John G. Lake, NOT the Word of God. This movement is demonstating some real healing miracles, and it seems to be growing very quickly. Folks, this is a powerful delusion.

Hi Sharon, Thanks so much for posting this verse.  I love the book of Romans--it’s one of my favorites.  Here’s one more verse to consider on this topic: 8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy , which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ.     9 For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, 10 and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority. 11 In him you were also circumcised, i ...

Hi Eileen, Thanks for your response. I appreciate it...you are saying each person must be individually convicted on ~how~ they keep the Sabbath. I’ve also seen you say you don’t condemn Christians who worship on Sunday. I believe you are worshipping with Messianic Jews and I do have great respect for their congregations and groups such as Jews for Jesus. I’ve told you before I respect your decision to worship on the Saturday Sabbath. The reason for my post above was not to ignite a Sabbath debate. Rather it was to demonstrate how a CULT was transformed into an evangelical Christ ...

Sister Eileen and Cleansoul, Tell me exactly how you want Christians to perfectly ~keep~ the Sabbath today. I’ve already learned from Cleansoul that it is a SIN for Christians to work on the Sabbath. Does this command apply to everyone? For example, are doctors allowed to WORK in a hospital on the Sabbath? If you believe doctors are allowed to WORK on the Sabbath, who else is allowed to WORK on the Sabbath and NOT be guilty of sin? If doctors are allowed to WORK on the Sabbath, why is their act of WORK NOT a sin, but if a janitor goes to WORK, it IS a sin? Two simple questions ...

The Worldwide Church of God is an example of a cult that for the most part has returned to orthodox evangelical Christianity. http://www.wcg.org/ (Praise God!) You can read how this church was transformed by Christ here: http://www.wcg.org/lit/AboutUs/history.htm (It’s well worth the time to read this) It’s a fascinating story and one that EVERY evangelical Christian should be aware of. Here was an entire church of people that rejected Christian doctrines such as the Trinity, yet by the GRACE OF GOD the church leadership recognized Truth in the Bible and they changed their d ...

Hi Zule, I’m deeply touched by your wisdom on this subject. Your perspective as someone from South America is greatly needed here. God knows: God undertakes by Martyn Lloyd-Jones We cannot do better than remind ourselves again of ... the faith of God’s people throughout the centuries. That is the faith and teaching to be found, for example, in the hymns of Philip Doddridge. A typical example is found in his great hymn: O God of Bethel, by whose hand Thy people still are fed; Who through this weary pilgrimage Hast all our fathers led. That is his great argument, ba ...

Hi Avg Joe, I am praying for your Mom and your family during this extreme trial. Ultimately, all healing comes from God. I know our LORD can use orthodox medicine and/or natural healing as a ’means of grace’ to facilitate healing according to His will. Of course, He can also heal without these means. Martyn Lloyd-Jones, a former medical doctor wrote about this, and I will try to post it later as I believe his councel is right on target on this subject. Does your Mom use natural healing methods in addition to orthodox medicine?   [End]

Hi AvgJoe! It’s great to see you posting here again! I’m encouraged to hear that Alistair Begg is on the radio in your area--check him out often. He helped write the Cambridge Document that I listed in the post above. I believe that every Christian should have an understanding of the ’5 Solas’ of the Reformation (listed in the Cambridge Document) because they help to articulate the very heart of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ in a very easy way!   [End]

by Martyn Lloyd Jones ”Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Matthew 6:25 [Our Lord’s] argument [Matthew 6:25] is a very profound and powerful one; and how prone we are to forget it! He says in effect, ’Take this life of yours about which you are tending to worry and become anxious. How have you got it? Where has it come from?’ And the answer, of course, is that it is a gift from God. . . . So the argument which our Lord ...

Hi Eileen, Thank you for sharing that WOF experience. I was attending a WOF church years ago and the Holy Spirit opened my eyes to the deception of it all on the morning our pastor told us he was cancelling the Lord’s Supper that day, because he brought in an ’annoited speaker’ who had a message that was so important for us, that we simply did not have time to celebrate the Lord’s Supper that day. Our pastor was a big timer in the WOF network--he would regularly bring in all the people you mentioned--Ken Copeland, Jerry Savelle, Jesse Duplantis and the rest of the WOF network. (And it ...

Hi Sharon, Thank you for your kind comments. Please understand that in my criticisms of Jesse Duplantis and other ’Word of Faith teachers’, I do not mean to offend charismatic or pentacostal Christians. What troubles me greatly is that many people today equate ’charismatic’ with ’Word of Faith’ teachers. Of course, ’Word of Faith’ teachers ’claim’ to be charismatic, therefore they do their utmost to play this up and make people believe that ’Word of Faith Christians’ = ’charismatic Christians’. Sadly, the terms have indeed become virtually synonymous today. As you know, Mart ...

Alikat, Thanks for posting this outstanding article. It seems that when God was kicked out of the school system in the early 1960’s, secular humanism and moral relativism quickly came in to fill the void. It’s been a slippery slope ever since. Consider movies, TV, magazines, education, etc, pre- and post- early 1960’s. Of course, the attack on the Bible began many decades before that...but there was a dramatic shift in our culture that can be traced to the early 60’s. What concerns me most is the influence this is having on children. Ray Comfort quoted the same sad statistic th ...

I am quite amazed that the strong influence of Catholic mysticism has helped mightily to transform the New Age Movement from being counter-culture to being embraced by Evangelicals, and Western civilization as such. Like a plague, Catholic mysticism has affected almost every facet of life without being noticed or perceived. Sickly sentimental syncretistic mysticism has crossed the threshold of the Gospel even among evangelicals; ...
