Galatians 2:11-14
11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I withstood him to the face, because he was to be blamed.
12 For before that certain came from James, he did eat with the Gentiles: but when they were come, he withdrew and separated himself, fearing them which were of the circumcision.
13 And the other Jews dissembled likewise with him; insomuch that Barnabas also was carried away with their dissimulation.
14 But when I saw that they walked not uprightly according to the truth of the gospel, I said unto Peter before them all, If thou, being a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why compellest thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews?
Paul rebuked Peter to his face, who fearing the Jews, compromised the gospel. According to the new apostolic prophetic bunch, Paul is being religious and jealous here. He must had been jealous of Peter. Paul wanted to keep God in a box. Paul could not get in the groove and “get some”. Could it be Paul didn’t like the way Peter looked? Or could it be all those helpless fish Peter killed? Maybe the Prophetic Council of Elders of the New Age Dark Forest convened and found Paul was stinking jealous and religious.
Are the people opposing the Lakeland revival jealous of false prophets and apostles? Stephen upon getting stoned for examining things in light of the scriptures, must had been jealous of the leaders in the synagogue according to the arguments from the NAR bunch. Similarly, are the claims of the NAR apostate against those opposed to the “feel good with worms underneath” revival going on in Lakeland Florida.
These false apostles and prophets are claiming persecution to make people question themselves. They want people to look to them ABOVE the Word, because they are not concern with the Truth. The Truth—The Word of God--- wipes them out as a movement, and obliterates their dominionist theology. They want a mixture of Truth at their convenience, and they do not like people to question their hand-spun ideologies. They try to rule by accusation, fear, and twisting the Word. Place the Word of God FIRST before them!!! And sadly, many do not realize this.
Luke 6:39
And he spake a parable unto them, Can the blind lead the blind? shall they not both fall into the ditch?
Can the blind lead the blind? If some apostolic prophetic leader jumps off a cliff, are we to follow because he or she is considered prophetically enlightened? The new apostolic prophetic leaders are accusing those who examine the scriptures and test the spirits of being religious. Is God a liar? We ought to obey God rather than man, and God commands us to test the spirits. If something does not line up with the Word of God, you need not debate, reject it. If something goes off in your spirit, examine it. That is not being judgmental or religious, this is obeying the Word of God.
1 John 4:1
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
II Corinthians 13:5
5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
6 But I trust that ye shall know that we are not reprobates.
7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil; not that we should appear approved, but that ye should do that which is honest, though we be as reprobates.
8 For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth.
Certain leaders of this fake, apostate movement of the new apostolic prophetic type, claim one cannot criticize the revival if they don’t have a healing ministry themselves. They are calling it persecution. What absolute and preposterous rubbish! Because you got a group of people out there not buying their hogwash? The discerning are not equating gyrating body parts or imitating lion roars to be healings! Repeatedly, this movement and this revival has exalted man and man-made experiences over the word of God. We are to examine everything in light of the scriptures, not in light of the doctrines of men, nor man- made experiences. They exalt men and ministries over and above the Word of God. They are deceivers and they are deceived.
They claim they are pointing to Jesus Christ; while they point more to themselves and their new apostolic prophetic theology. In their circles, their doctrine supersedes the word of God. Anything goes. Visions, false prophecies, portal experiences, orbs, sapphire dust…in their ranks these things need not be tested, but accepted on face value. And Lord knows, it generates “some” sales.
Anyone opposing these false prophets and this false revival going on in Lakeland Florida is accused of being jealous and religious. Ironically, and I have said it before, they are the "new religious system" implemented and instituted by satan for the end times. Most are part of it unknowingly, but as satan was filled with pride, so are these comprised in this movement. Too proud to even entertain the possibility of being wrong; they now subscribe to a lie over the Word of God. And God has given them over to their idols.
II Timothy 3:13-16
13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
14 But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them ;
15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Jesus said if you love me keep my commands. What does this movement know about keeping His commands? They run from His commands. They re-write His commands. They have their own commands, twisted around the Word just enough now to come off spiritual. They should be applauding people for examining this revival in light of the scriptures. Instead they ostracize those who do, while speaking on the other side of their mouths, saying “we gotta stay in the Word”. They envision themselves so spiritual; yet they have been endowed with heavenly visions, impartations, and revelations straight from Hell and don’t even know it (some know it). Pride goes before destruction. Pray for them so some will come out of this deception.
