The truth is that so often, Christians are numbed to wrong doctrines and teachings. As my eyes caught the title of the Elijah List newsletter this morning, which reads two articles

The New Mystics
Phoenix (Mesa), Arizona
With Patricia King, John Crowder, Jamie Galloway, Jason Westerfield, and worship with Steve Swanson
There is a new breed of believer being raised up in this hour. One who is willing to embrace the mysteries of the Christian walk to wander deep into the heart of God and the power of the cross. This new breed is a generation of seekers who have said yes to all God has, no matter what the cost. It is not a generation based on age or experience, but one based on hunger. Do you long to be a member of this new breed God is establishing? If so, join this gathering of prophets, preachers and teachers as they delve into the secrets of God and see the Kingdom revealed to us all.
The two very teachings that have subverted the churches today with Lust of Greed, New Age teachings that on the surface, seems all godly and right, but ask the question. Is the Kingdom of God about wealth? And what about Mystics? Are we to go back to Merton’s Catholic mysticism that is enwtined with Eastern paganism?
Question is, what is the Gospel? Can the above two teachings co-exist with the Gospel of Jesus. In very short summary, can wealth and mysticism, be part of a gospel that is Christ-centred, NOT man, and the ultimate fulfillment of our being can only be found in Christ, not wealth. When preachers and teachers twisted the Word of God to words that people want to hear, they diluted the very central teachings of the Gospel. It is a message of God’s Love for us that He sent Christ to die for our sins, and through that we might find Salvation through Christ’s substitutionary death on the Cross and through His resurrection, a Hope that we will be too, be resurrected in glory with Him. It is all about the message, and let’s not divert from it.
I have put here a video, and which Mercy and I had a rather huge disagreement about his overly emotional outbursts.
Tell me what’s wrong?
Err… sorry I could figure out what was wrong.
Izit what he shared or the music?
I could be wrong, but I think his friend called a curse of death down on his own head with that prayer.
Praying to die for souls to be saved may sound noble, but why not pray for God’s glory to fall and his annointing to come so that he could preach with power and conviction and see souls saved?
Being a martry is one thing, but praying and asking God to take your life for the sake of souls to be saved seems odd.
Just my two cents though, Ive been wrong before.
I don’t want to enter into any kind of an argument,but I cannot see the problem.
He was emotional because of Jesus in his life, and things that touched his heart.
When people like Pat King talk about wealth it is not just about money, it is about the way things would have been prior to Adam and Eve bringing sin into
the world. You may not understand what you see, but God is doing a new thing.
With all the love in my heart I advise you to look at your fear,criticism, and a certain amount of prejudice and ask yourself were these things are comming from.
There is no doubt in my heart that these people love Jesus and proclaim the gospel with absloute sincerity.
