Following the True Jesus,
Beware of the New Apostolic Reformation, the Word Faith Movement and The Prosperity Doctrine and any other of man’s doctrine such as Calvinism that pulls you away from the Truth of the Gospel.
Sometimes this walk is a walk alone.
We know we’re never alone as Jesus is always with us, but it can feel like we are standing on our own.
When no person understands you, when you are surrounded by those who do not even know the Lord,
you can feel alone.
I had a church that I went to for a while. I had a few friends and I had to leave
because the Pastor did not believe in putting Jesus first.
He wanted a counterfeit revival, which meant Jesus was not the focus.
Lord Jesus, help us to never compromise.
Many Christians now are choosing the ways of the world or allowing a mixture into the church.
Instead of seeking God, they are choosing hype.
There is a bunch who are in the White House, now instructing our president.
They are part of the New Apostolic Reformation.
That is a scary bunch that brings about the forcing of false prophecies, imitation miracles and signs and wonders and they follow those effects as idols.
The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) has a huge following within the church.
It is part of The Prosperity Doctrine and the Word Faith Movement.
This is an article that includes the testimonies of 55 people who left the New Apostolic Reformation and how their eyes were opened to the false teachings of this movement.
Testimonies: “Leaving the NAR Church”
It all goes back to relationship with Jesus. If we do not learn of Him and love the truth,
we will become deceived.
To be attracted to miracles is not going to strengthen our relationship with Jesus.
Miracles have been done throughout the bible by those who do not follow God.
The Egyptians’ magicians could perform some of the miracles that God gave Moses to do.
And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
When Pharaoh shall speak unto you, saying, Shew a miracle for you: then thou shalt say unto Aaron,
Take thy rod, and cast it before Pharaoh, and it shall become a serpent.
And Moses and Aaron went in unto Pharaoh, and they did so as the Lord had commanded:
and Aaron cast down his rod before Pharaoh, and before his servants, and it became a serpent.
Then Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers: now the magicians of Egypt,
they also did in like manner with their enchantments.
For they cast down every man his rod, and they became serpents:
but Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods. Exodus 7:8-12
But Aaron’s rod swallowed up their rods.
There have been soothsayers and those who use witchcraft to try to mimic the miracles of God.
In The Book of Revelation, the Antichrist will perform miracles.
And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb,
and he spake as a dragon.
And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him,
and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast,
whose deadly wound was healed.
And he doeth great wonders,
so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,
And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth
by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast;
saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast,
which had the wound by a sword, and did live.
And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast,
that the image of the beast should both speak,
and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.
Revelation 13:11-15
Many will be impressed.
We are also warned by Jesus in Matthew 24:
For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Behold, I have told you before. verses 24=25
Jesus tells us of things to come so that we can be prepared and even if we aren’t fully prepared,
the words will come back to us to give us His strength in truth so as to help us endure,
as His word never comes back empty.
