Beth Moore Prophesies a Coming 'Outpouring,' Warns of 'Scoffers

This is a concerning, taletelling sign reposted with permission from Donotbesurprised.com on Beth Moore's revelation of an "ecumenical" outpouring of unity... at the expense of Truth???  Truth is, through Contemplative Prayer (repackaged Eastern Meditation) she has opened herself to deceiving spirits and demons, disguising themselves as angels of righteousness.

Beth Moore Prophesies a Coming 'Outpouring,' Warns of 'Scoffers'

In a January 2014 blog post entitled, "A New Year, A New Time," popular Southern Baptist Bible teacher Beth Moore shared the following alleged God-given revelation:

In mid-November of 2012, God dropped a word so convicting on my heart through another teacher’s lesson that my face instantly burned. . . . This was the word:

"Stop sowing over and over in the exact same field."

I wasn’t looking for it. I didn’t ask for it. I was happy where I was. Like many of you, I like things to stay the same. I loved my circle of relationships and the familiar places I got to serve. I’ve never lost a passion for those places and have often wept with thanksgiving to God for the privilege of walking through some of the same doors again and again. I have a history of long relationships and staying put and that’s how I like things. But I knew God was talking to me. It burned like a branding iron. 

Every single day for nearly 14 months, that same word has reverberated in my soul and troubled my feet. . . .

Fast forward 12 months exactly to the most recent November. A year after hearing from God so clearly about sowing further than the field that I’d loved and served in for so long, I had a very disturbing dream. I can count the significant dreams I’ve had through the decades on one hand so I’m not prone to look for messages in my sleep to keep from having to actually pray and read the Bible. That God can speak through dreams is clear in our own Bibles, of course, but for many of us it is unusual. I don’t feel the release right now to describe the dream though I may someday. What I do feel is a strong compelling to share with you what I knew beyond a doubt it meant. I believe that I can either be obedient to God in the faith walk He is setting before me or He will take my voice. I do not feel that it was a rebuke. I felt that it was a warning.

At the time, Do Not Be Surprised emphasized the danger of Moore's claims to receiving direct, personal revelation from God. What was not emphasized at that time was the content of the revelation.

Moore's post goes on to say:

I was saved in childhood but I was 18 years old the first time I ever had a vivid encounter with God and it accompanied my calling. . . .

38 years have come and gone since that day I received my calling. 

And I have rarely – if ever – received clearer orders from God.  

I share this with you because I love and esteem you so much and want you to know that I haven’t lost my footing or had a dramatic change in my theology as I tread into a wider perimeter than I’ve served before. . . .

We must all be willing to exceed denominational boundaries. Revival is at stake. Nearsightedness will trip us and disunity will slay us in the perilous days to come. We can prioritize our denominations over the Scriptures if we want to but we will shrivel up and die on the vine if we do. 

We who are called to teach must teach the Scriptures even if – and especially when – they differ from our long-held stance. That we will answer for. 

These are days for bravery. 

To avail ourselves to the Holy Spirit and a fresh work of Christ in our midst, our healthy fear of God must far exceed our fear of man. I say this with tremendous love. Those who refuse to rock the boat when Jesus is tossing the waves in their faces will never know the thrill of the water beneath their feet. . . .

Change is on the horizon and certainly not only where I live and serve. The winds of the Holy Spirit are picking up. We can dig our feet in the ground and demand to stay right where we are. We can toil to maintain things just as they have been for years. And we can be left out of a coming awakening that could one day be recorded in the annals of Christian history.

What is this "awakening," this "fresh work of Christ," this "revival," this "wind"? Whatever it is, Moore spoke of it again recently at James Robison's Awaken conference. Below is a short clip from Moore's teaching at that event:


The full teaching can be viewed here, at the Life Today website. The astute viewer will notice that the message Moore is sharing allegedly was given to her directly by God, thus it cannot be questioned lest we question the Lord Himself.

Below is a partial transcript of some of the more troubling portions of Beth Moore's message. The transcript also is available here, at the Life Today website.

As we cry out for a downpour and I'm going to tell you something, I believe its coming. You know why? Because I believe the truth is we are thirsty. . . .

I believe that God placed it on my heart to tell you that as it comes, and it will if we'll own our thirst, it will, if we'll be willing to stop telling him what it has to look like, it's coming, it's coming. But we must be prepared in advance for scoffers. I will say that again. We must be prepared in advance for scoffers. I want you to look at one another and say, "Be prepared for scoffers."

And here's the thing. The unbelieving world scoffing is not going to bother us that much. We're used to them thinking that we are idiots. Can we just own that one? We're used to it. Of course, they think that. We've got that one down. That's not what's going to bother us so much. What's going to bother us, and I believe God is saying, "Get prepared for it so you know in advance it is coming" so when it does happen you're not all disturbed and all rocked by it because it is going to come from some in our own Christian realm -- our own brothers and sisters.

We're going to have people that are honestly going to want to debate and argue with us about awakening and downpours. What do you want here? They're going to say, that's not the way it should look. You know what, dude? I'm just asking you, are you thirsty? Are you hungry? I can't think of the way to the semantics to get it like you want it. But I will say to you, I'm just thirsty and I'm hungry. 

But there will be scoffers and they will be the far bigger threat, the one within our own brothers and sisters, our own family of God -- far, far more demoralizing. And yes, it will come from bullies, and yes, it will come from the mean-spirited.

What God began to show me is that it would not just come from the mean-spirited it will also come from people who are just genuinely concerned about us. . . .

The scoffers, I believe that God put on my heart, please test the spirit, pray and see if this is confirmed to you in prayer and in the study of the word. I believe that he placed it on my heart that the scoffers will have an alternative answer for everything; An alternative for every single thing we see, there will be an alternative. They will not see it as the hand of God, an alternate answer. Unity will be called defection. Brokenness will be called instability. Grace will be called compromise. And the genuinely prophetic will be called false teaching. You see if this does not happen. And because of those things, defection, instability, compromise, and false teaching, because those things will be simultaneously in effect, you and I, who are believing God for a vivid downpour of his spirit and recognize it as it comes, we will have to be taking the risk of being lumped in with the ones that really are defecting, unstable, compromising, and false. And it will be hard for us because we don't want to be mixed-up with them.

The similarities between this teaching and Moore's January blog post are obvious: the calls for unity, revival and outpouring dominate. Note the gravity of what Beth Moore is saying here—and remember that she is claiming that these concepts were given to her by God.

"Be prepared for scoffers." And these scoffers, says Beth, are literally a threat. In other words, the scoffers will be enemies of these chosen ones who are open and available to receive whatever outpouring Beth is describing. These will be "bullies" and will be "mean-spirited."

But what if these "bullies" or even the poor, confused souls who are simply "concerned" about Moore and others like her, are trustworthy ministers of the gospel? What if the "scoffers" are men who have proven to be faithful teachers of God's Word? Are we to cast these men aside if they dare question such an "outpouring" of the Spirit? Or should we take their warnings into consideration?

"Unity," says Moore, "will be called defection." Reader, are you aware that these sentiments of "unity" are the same as those expressed by Pope Francis?

"Grace will be called compromise." If this "grace" is extended toward false teachers and false teaching then, yes, it is compromise. Unity at the expense of truth? Never!

"And the genuinely prophetic will be called false teaching." How are we to distinguish the "genuinely prophetic"? By taking the self-proclaimed prophet at his or her own word? The true Church is not in need of a "prophetic word" because the Bible has already warned of what is to come. Jesus Himself warned of false Christs and false prophets in the last days (Matt 24:3, 4,11), and He warned that they would rise to fame with displays of miraculous signs and wonders.

For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible even the elect. Behold, I have told you in advance. (Matt 24:24–25)

When we hear Beth Moore preparing people for an "outpouring" and a "downpour," the specifics of which still remain vague, and when we hear her warning her followers that they must be prepared for "scoffers" and "bullies" and enemies of this "revival" and this "unity" one cannot help but think of Paul's promise of a great coming delusion in 2 Thessalonians 2. Where is the evidence of such a "downpour" in Scripture? Where is the clarion call to forsake truth for unity? These things are not in Scripture, yet they are common elements found in the teachings of many dangerous leaders today. Such things are common themes among the Word-Faith, NAR, and even among the Roman Catholics. Beth Moore may have received this message from an outside source, but that source was not God. Oh, she is being used by God, yes, but not for the purposes which many would claim.

Beth Moore is an extremely influential woman. She has written numerous books and Bible studies. Her ministry, Living Proof, hosts the Living Proof Live conferences each year. Additionally, she participates in such gatherings as Louie Giglio's Passion conferences and Hillsong's Colour conference. She is the darling of LifeWay, the publishing arm of the Southern Baptist Convention. Women's ministries at churches across the country, even churches considered to be biblically and doctrinally solid, rely on Moore's studies to train their women.

The claims, concepts and 'prophecy' Moore has taught at Robison's Awaken conference will not go unnoticed. Her words will not go unheeded by the many who blindly follow after her. The fact that Beth Moore has demonstrated time and again that she cannot even properly handle Scripture will continue to be ignored by those who perceive her words to be without error. And if she has received these words from God, then they must be without error, mustn't they? "Thus saith the Lord . . . by way of Beth Moore."

Friends, it is no new or surprising fact that we are witnessing a growing deception among those who claim to know Christ. As experiences trump the truth of Scripture, the deception darkens. Many men and women have been put in place to lead and pave this road of deception. We ought not be surprised that such leaders would claim a personal word from the Lord, but should these prophetic words be trusted?

Thus saith the Lord . . . in the Bible that we already hold in our hands. No more needs to be added to this Word. Friends, it is time to banish the book of Beth Moore, for it is this writer's opinion that this woman does not speak for our God.

*As a final note, the reader is strongly encouraged to listen to apologist Chris Rosebrough's review of Beth Moore's teaching. Rosebrough's commentary can be accessed here.

Bono confesses Jesus???

Did you hear? Evidently, Bono of U2 is confessing that Jesus Christ is Lord! It might be great, but it makes me uncomfortable. He has been very big about promoting the whole "coexist" idea, while the teachings of Jesus Christ and the New Testament are very exclusive. 

Jesus taught that "I am the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes to the Father, except through Me" (John 14:6).  In Acts 4:12 we are told that there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we MUST be saved!

The Family Research Council did an interview with him that should have aired today.  My fear is that this will 

be another stepping stone in bringing about the one-world religion that is already under way!

I also believe the latest Superman movie, and all the media hype about him being like Jesus!  That is so preparing the way for the "aliens," and they will explain how Jesus was a star child, juswt like Kal-El, or vice versa.  Either way, in almost all movies, music and religious movements, you can see the way being made to shake off the old Christian tradition, and to get the world's people ready for the world's next leader, and his plans for humanity!

Will the Evangelical Church Sell Out the Gospel for a Dominionist Political Agenda?

A Special Report by Understand the Times and Lighthouse   Trails
Distributed at Endview
http://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/newsletters/2011/newsletter20110815.htm

As America is quickly approaching another presidential election year, some   interesting things are taking place within evangelical/Protestant Christianity   that are connected to next year’s election. Dominionist/Kingdom Now political   and religious figures are joining forces with evangelical Christian groups.   While having concern for the state of America is more than legitimate, will   Christians replace commitment and loyalty to the Gospel for commitment and   loyalty to a dominionist agenda? If they do, they will learn the hard way that   compromise and a “whatever it takes” attitude will do more harm to the cause of   Jesus Christ than good.
This article is not a statement that Christians should not be involved in or   concerned about the political state of their countries. Rather, the intention of   this article is to exhort believers to use discernment in understanding the   times in which we live. It is to show how a present ecumenical, dominionist   movement (that is heading toward a one-world religion to “establish the kingdom   of God on earth”) is operating and deceiving many Christians. As Christians, we   are to be witnesses for Jesus Christ and His Gospel message of salvation to   those who believe on Him by faith. But today, many Christians may be on the   brink of buying into a plan that will ultimately create a global religion and   global government.
The apostle Paul was very clear that we are not to entangle ourselves with   those who say they are of the faith but preach “another gospel” (Romans 16:17,   Titus 3:10, 2 Corinthians 11: 13-15).
The definition below of dominionism is helpful in understanding the goals of   the dominionist movement:

The Gospel of Salvation [according to dominionism] is achieved by setting up   the “Kingdom of God” as a literal and physical kingdom to be “advanced” on Earth in the present age. Some dominionists   liken the New Testament Kingdom to the Old Testament Israel in ways that justify   taking up the sword, or other methods of punitive judgment, to war against   enemies of their kingdom. Dominionists teach that men can be coerced or   compelled to enter the kingdom. They assign to the Church duties and rights that   belong Scripturally only to Jesus Christ.1 

Dominionism shares some of the same ideologies as the emerging church, the   primary similarity being the belief that a utopian "kingdom of God" will be set   up on earth prior to the return of Jesus Christ, and in fact there won't   actually be a bodily physical return of Christ; but rather His presence will   become more manifest within us the more the kingdom of God on earth is created. This is totally contrary to Scripture that tells   us that Jesus Christ will return physically (where every eye shall see Him), and   it will be to a world that has become completely chaotic and reprobate, not   utopian and godly.

Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also   which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.   (Revelation 1:7)
With that in  mind, it is vital to know that a number of dominionist groups   are rallying the support of conservative Christians under the guise of   “restoring America” back to its “Christian roots.” A look at a couple of these   groups is important.

The Seven Mountains of Culture

The Seven Mountains of Culture was founded by Os Hillman who is the founder   and executive director of Marketplace Leaders   Ministries. Hillman teaches a workshop called The Change Agent Intensive   Workshop and has been featured on many major media programs.
The best way to describe The Seven Mountains of Culture is through the   following promotional video clip:

If you cannot view video, click here. [sorry, couldn't get those to load]
              An   article titled “7   Mountains – Set to Go Viral” by Discernment Ministries examines the goals of   this dominionist agenda, expressing “concern that this radical mandate for   dominionism, and the leaders of the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) which   birthed it, are becoming part of the political   Right and evangelical mainstream.” The article states that the “7   mountains mandate is already becoming a unifying rally point among   evangelicals from many diverse theological camps and from some very unexpected   quarters.”

The Dominionist/Reclaiming our Culture mind-set is a dangerous path that   leads, not to biblical truth, but rather to an ecumenical, Road to Rome, “Army   for God” that will attempt to force culture to be “Christian” (something Jesus   Christ or the disciples never mandated) and will end up leading all down   that Road to Rome and eventually into a one-world religion and one-world   government. 
The Discernment Ministries article assesses:

Not only does the Kingdom of God have a different King to the kingdoms of the   world, but it has different citizens, has a different future and it operates by   different principles. One of the principles that makes God’s Kingdom radically   different to that of the world is the lust for power as opposed to the   willingness to serve.

“Jesus said: ‘Ye know that the princes of the Gentiles exercise dominion over   them, and they that are great exercise authority upon them. But it shall not be   so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;   And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: Even as the Son   of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a   ransom for many.’” (Matthew 20:25-28).2

This is not to say that Christians should not try to be a light and the   “salt” in a fallen culture (Matthew 5:13). But there is a difference between   what Scripture instructs us to do and what the 7 Mountains movers   teach; they  believe they are "building an actual PHYSICAL kingdom here   on earth -- structurally through man's mechanisms. This is the 7 mountains that   they want to take over. They believe they can take them over by political,   scientific, and psycho-social means." And like the New Agers, they also want to   build the spiritual kingdom within, "which they believe they can perfect   themselves here on earth via mysticism" thus "they will begin to 'manifest'   Christ -- become the sons of God."3

The Call

Lou Engle’s The Call is another dominionist group that is tied in with the 7   Mountain agenda. In a 2008 Lighthouse Trails article, we linked to the advisory   board of The Call. The link has been removed from their site but this   cache file shows the members at that time. Some of them are contemplative   advocate Ron Luce (Teen Mania), Loren Cunningham (founder of YWAM, featured   on the 7 Mountain video above), Steve Douglas of Campus Crusade for Christ   (which just removed the name   Crusade and Christ from their name), Rick Joyner, and C. Peter Wagner –   dominionist figures who want to bring the kingdom of God to earth before Christ returns. The following video is from a large youth rally put on by   The Call. You will see Lou Engle and Rick Joyner watching thousands of young   people jumping up and down to the repetitive beat of drums and hundreds of   Shofars being blown.

A   Civil War?
In a radio transcript titled “Blues and Grays,”  Understand the Times states:

Christianity is about to be purified through a civil war, they say. Is this   behavior indicative of a revival as some claim? Or is this exactly what occurred   in the past when “enlightened Christians” became the “manifested sons of   God”?

[In] an article written by Rick Joyner called the Coming Civil War in the   Church. . . . Joyner states he believes a civil war will soon be breaking   out within the church. He states: “There is a huge portion of the church which   is being held bondage to the same religious spirit that manifested itself to the   Pharisees, and it will attack any new movement that arises in the church. The   more anointed the new movement is, the more these traditionalists will be   threatened by it, and the more vehemently they will attack it.”

Joyner’s solution for removing the people who oppose this “anointed new move”   sounds rather militant. Listen to what he says:
 “The longer we continue to compromise with such institutions which use   manipulation or control for the sake of unity or for any reason the more it will   ultimately cost us to remove the cancer from our midst.”

 Joyner then went on to describe how the conflict in the church will   develop:
“The coming spiritual civil war will be between the Blue’s and the Gray’s. In   dreams and visions blue often represents heavenly-mindedness, and gray speaks of   those who live by the power of their own minds – which is equivalent to the   brain’s gray matter. This will be a conflict between those who may be genuine   Christians, but who live mostly according to their natural minds and human   wisdom, and those who follow the Holy Spirit.” 4

Jerry Boykin and Rick Joyner
A name that is showing up a lot on the speaking schedules of evangelical   gatherings is that of General Jerry Boykin (once a Delta Force member and one   time head of the Green Berets). Boykin is a high officer in the “Knights of   Malta,* an ecumenical (Orthodox, Evangelical, Catholic and Protestant) order.   Boykin holds the title of Grand Chancellor in the Order. According to the Knights of Malta website,   the order is sanctioned and “blessed” by the Vatican (see 1 and 2document).   In document 1, Pope Benedict XVI “invokes . . . the continued protection of the   Blessed Virgin Mary.” Each “Knight,” including Boykin (and Rick Joyner who is a “Supreme   Council Member” of the Order), is required to take a vow. In this vow, the   Knight pledges himself to “be guided by the ideas of the Sovereign   Order of St John of Jerusalem (started in 1090 and is the predecessor of the   Knights of Malta).

Many people may not realize what the term ecumenical actually means, at least   to the Catholic church, which describes ecumenism as the absorption of all   Christian groups that have “broken away” from the Mother Church back to it.5   

Jerry Boykin has spoken at numerous dominionist events such as the 7   Mountains conferences (see May   2010) and a New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) event called Transformation Michigan. In   addition, Boykin is on the board of Rick Joyner’s organization called The Oak   Initiative. (Joyner is the President; other board members include   dominionists Cindy Jacobs and Lance   Wallnau).
In Kevin Reeves book, The Other Side of the River, Reeves discusses   Rick Joyner. Reeves, a former elder of a Latter Rain/dominionist church,   states:

Joyner’s blatant Latter Rain beliefs were assimilated into our congregation   on the wings of the mythical end-times revival which would supposedly sweep   millions into the kingdom. A super-spiritual elite group of prophets and   apostles will be raised up, Joyner states, and will transform the world of these   last days, doing greater miracles than even the apostles who walked with our   Lord. Whole nations will tremble at the mention of their names.

Interesting. Sounds a lot easier to deal with than Jesus’ prophecy that “[Y]e   shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake” (Matthew   24:9).6

In Final Quest, Joyner says he hears from a dead saint (one of the   foolish virgins mentioned in Scripture), who has told him the things that are to   come. According to researcher and writer Sarah Leslie, “Rick Joyner was one of   the ‘Kansas City Prophets’ who now wields considerable influence through his   ‘prophecies’ about a coming militant church.”7 Joyner states:

We are coming to the times when passive Christianity and passive Christians   will cease to exist. There is a maturity, a discipline, and a divine militancy   coming upon the people of God. Those who have succumbed to humanistic and   idealistic theologies may have a hard time with this, but we must understand   that God is a military God. The title that He uses ten times more than any other   in Scripture is "the Lord of hosts," or "Lord of armies." There is a martial   aspect to His character that we must understand and embrace for the times and   the job to which we are now coming.8

We know that the Lord will return with a cloud of witnesses to bring down   judgment on the earth, but we don’t believe Rick Joyner or the self-proclaimed   apostles and prophets will be leading the way.

Jerry Boykin   and Calvary Chapel
It is non-debatable that Jerry Boykin resonates with Rick Joyner – they are   in the same Knights of Malta order and work together in The Oak Initiative.   Thus, it is troubling to learn that Boykin has been speaking at numerous   different Calvary Chapels and sharing platforms at conferences with Chuck Smith   and other Calvary Chapel pastors over the last few years (e.g., the 2009   Epicenter conference and Epicenter 2008 with Smith, Boykin,   and Joel Rosenberg; Greg Laurie’s Preach   the Word Prophecy Conference in 2010, Calvary   Chapel Costa Mesa in 2009, and Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Prophecy   Conference in March 2011). Boykin will also be speaking at the Calvary Chapel   Honolulu Pastors’ Conference in August 2011: http://www.calvarychapelofhonolulu.com/htw_2011.html,   and his materials are sold in the Calvary   Chapel store, listed as one of four “Other Authors.”

So here we have a man who is part of an order sanctioned by the papacy (the   certificate from the Vatican is on the Knights of Malta website) and part of a   dominionist group, speaking to Calvary Chapel groups. Is Calvary Chapel going to   be one of those evangelical/Protestant groups that will exchange the solidity of   the Gospel for a “whatever it takes” attitude for political purposes and other   purposes? Do they not see the error in this? Incidentally, other denominations   and Christian groups are doing the same thing. Check out the denomination you   belong to - you may be surprised.

Presidential Candidate Rick Perry and His Dominionist   Partners
On August 6th, 2011, Texas Governor Rick Perry took part in a   rally called The Response. Perry, who announced his bid as a presidential   candidate on August 13, 2011, partnered with some interesting figures at The   Response, including C. Peter Wagner, Mike Bickle, and   Cindy Jacobs, each of whom is in the dominionist camp. Perry also participated   in a 2010 rally called Freedom Foundation Summit with Rick Joyner, Cindy Jacobs,   Lou Engle, and Lance Wallnau (an “Apostle” promoting the 7 Mountains teaching).   If Perry does not share the dominionist persuasion as these others do, should he   not distance himself from them rather than mingle with them? Many proclaiming   Christians in America are desperate for a godly leader and may follow Perry   merely out of that desperation. But if he is truly tied in with Wagner, Joyner,   Bickle, and Jacobs, then maybe these desperate Christians should think twice   about which candidate they are going to rally behind.
Will the Christian Church Sell Out?

During the years just prior to the last presidential election, an all out   effort was made by leaders in the emerging church to help get elected a liberal,   far left president. Many of these leaders, such as Rick Warren, said things that   made many conservative Christians feel guilty for voting on moral issues such as   abortion and homosexuality. Books by emerging “progressive” authors suggested   that Christians shouldn’t even become involved in politics (e.g. Shane   Claiborne’s book, Jesus for President). And while the older   conservatives were being manipulated not to vote, young Christians were being   persuaded to vote differently than their “old fashioned parents,” to vote for   social justice regardless of biblical standards or lack of them.  And, well, no   need to say what these emerging efforts did to America.

No single political party can save the world. The Bible says that the closer   we draw to the second coming of Christ, the worse the state of the world will be   in. Rather than “evolving” into perfection, mankind is disintegrating.9 It’s   because of man’s sin and a world that has for the most part rejected the Savior   of the world. Revelation 12:9 states that the day will come when Satan will   “deceiveth the whole world.” Yet just as Jesus gave the coin to pay the tax to   Caesar, so too we as Christians can be responsibly active in our world. But   foremost, let us remember that the Bible says we cannot serve both God and man   at the same time (Matthew 6:24).The true calling of born again believers is to   preach the Gospel, make disciples, and contend for the faith. And we must never   compromise by embracing dominionist agendas and interspiritual Peace Plans and   joining forces with those whose goals and ambitions are contrary to the   Christian commission given to us by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. We must   ask ourselves, is a militant dominionist agenda what we really want to embrace   and support? Is it what we want to serve?
In a powerful radio interview, Ingrid Schlueter addressed this dominionist   agenda. She stated:

We have a group of leaders who are horrified with the moral collapse in this   country. I am horrified with the cultural collapse in this country. We have a   problem in identifying and discerning why our culture is collapsing. What we are   seeing around us is not fruit of Christians not caring. It’s fruit of   Christians abandoning the gospel. And if we’re not going to define the   gospel along biblical terms, and we’re going to allow false teachers in among   us, and we’re going to link arms with said false teachers, and we’re going to   work with them who are preaching another gospel, who are teaching lies, if we’re   going to link arms with them to save the culture, we are not only engaged in a   futile effort, but God is going to, in turn, judge that conduct. Because   judgment, Scripture tells us, begins at the house of God.10

A Herescope   article on this issue states:

The sad fact is that great opportunities to present the message of the gospel   of salvation are being lost. Precious time is being wasted . . . Those who truly   need to hear a message of repentance, salvation and hope aren’t being witnessed   to. Discipleship isn’t happening. . . . It is a false gospel that preaches that   the culture nation can be changed rather than focusing on the lost who will   perish in hell if they do not repent. . . . And when the lost are truly saved   and born again, their lives will change and this is when the miracles begin to   happen and when the culture around them begins to be positively impacted by the   salt and light of their changed lives.11

Understand The Times and Lighthouse Trails are dedicated to warning the sheep   about last days spiritual deception. While it is difficult to have to sound this   warning at a time when many are concerned about the state of their countries and   the world at large, Jesus made it very clear about how we are to view the world,   behave in the world, and reach out to the unsaved. He never told his disciples   to form associations with those promoting spiritual deception in order to   establish a kingdom on earth. On the contrary, Jesus said:

If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye   were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the   world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you.   (John 15:18-19)
Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and   touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. (2 Corinthians   6:17)

My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would   my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my   kingdom not from hence. (John 18:36)
