I think that he is correct we too easily fall into fear.... I did this over and over and over again since the 1970's.... We saw the anti-Christ here and saw the anti-Christ over there..... and we tended to forget about the outpouring of the Holy Spirit!!!!!
and instead of God's Spirit, ended up with a false spirit.
This small compilation explains partly why the posts are so much in error, the wrong direction, for so long.
There isn't simply one and only one approach that Messiah takes with us.....
we are all so very, very different and many of us respond to a different type of
message.
Yes, this is true. A different type of message. A false message. Tickling the ears.
So you don't think that there is some validity to the statement that at this time
the Bride of Messiah is practically starving to death in comparison to what is theoretically possible when blessings are truly poured out?
NO.
But...... although I was kind of "busy" at this and that since the 1980's I've been shown
by my wife and her gifted friends that I need to take a whole new look at this verse.....
As Jesus says, even members of our own family may be our worse enemy.
But I do believe though that we are going into a time period when liars.... who try to lie within the church may come to realize that the days of the power level within the church exhibited to Ananias and Sapphira are coming again.......
Today liars are promoted, exalted, handsomely rewarded by followers, extolled as such 'great' teachers or even as prophets, and continuing to exalt them is bad.
Until the year 2000 I did not know that there were Christians who still got
amazingly accurate and powerful messages directly from Messiah Yeshua - Jesus.
Getting led astray by so many you listened to is not a good sign of , well, anything ! It shows you left the Bible behind, instead of keeping the Bible as your standard, choosing instead to trust men opposed to Jesus and opposed to Scripture.
For example you mentioned Murillo, who was long ago noted and exposed as a false teacher:
"The "Ten Most Wanted" False Teachers In
America
&
Other False Teachers
Here is a list of the "Ten Most Wanted" religious false
teachers in America today. These men and all the men and
women listed on this poster are wanted by all SPIRIT
controlled believers. When these false teachers and false
prophets are apprehended they will be tried in a spiritual
court of law (I Kor. 6.2), and when found guilty they will
be punished according to the Scriptures (Rom. 16.17; I
Tim. 3.5,6; 2 Tim. 2.25,26; Tit. 1.9-16; 3.10,11).
1. Chuck Smith
2. Oral Roberts
3. James Swaggart
4. Pat Robertson
5. Paul Crouch
6. Bill Graham
7. Hal Lindsey
8. Gerald Falwell
9. Benny Hinn
10. Jack Impe
Now that John Wimber has gone to his just punishment he can no longer be
listed among the Ten Most Wanted false teachers in America. He was ranked
number 6, but now takes his place among the most dangerous false teachers
of the 20th Century--along side Herbert W. Armstrong, Alice Bailey, Madame
Blavatsky, Mary Baker Eddy, Charles Taze Russell, Joseph Rutherford,
Nathan Knorr, Fred Franz, Kathryn Kuhlman, Amy Simple McPherson,
Maria Woodworth-Etter, Norman Vincent Peale, Bishop Sheen, Paul Tillich,
and Joe Tkach Sr.
Other dangerous false teachers who are leading millions of people astray are
all Calvary Chapel and Vineyard bishops (pastors). Here are some of the
most infamous of them.
Kenney Copeland, Kenny Hagin, Joe Aldrich, Garner Ted Armstrong, Joe
Tkach, Jon Arnot, John Avanzini, Ted Baehr, Jerry Barnard, Jonathan Bell,

David Hocking, Grant Jeffrey, D.J. Kennedy, Tim LaHaye, Chuck Missler,
Gary North, R.J. Rushdoony, Charles Ryrie, Chuck Smith, Don Stewart,

They mix Freudian psychobabble with Scripture to come up with total
nonsense.
James Dobson and Clyde Narramoore.
The following are into non-Biblical apologetics.
Greg Kokel.
The following are ecumenicalists.
Bill Bright and Ralph Woodrow.
All females teachers are false teachers for the Scriptures makes it explicitly
clear they are not to teach men (I Kor. 14.34,35; 2 Tim. 2.11,12).
Some of the worst false teachers are Marilyn Hickey, Betty Robinson,
Copeland's wife, Beverly LaHaye and Joyce Meyers.
Ten Most Wanted
Chuck Smith is the most dangerous so-called "believer" alive because he
revived the dead pentecostal movement and has trained hundreds of men to
propagate charismatic nonsense. The pentecostal/charismatic movement is a
cancer in Messianic Faith that is eating it away. It is also the leading
evidence
we are living in the apostasy of the last days of the last days (2 Thes.
2.3).
The emphasis on signs and wonders among these false believers is solid proof
they are not born from above. Smith and his disciples are false teachers who
have infiltrated Messianic Faith to subvert it. I seriously doubt Smith or any
of his disciples are born from above. The vast majority of people who have
been deceived by Smith and other charismatic preachers are not born again
and headed straight to hell. Smith, his disciples, and all charismatic
teachers
have the souls of millions of people on their hands and they will have much
to give account for at the Great White Throne Judgment.
Oral Roberts is the second most dangerous man because he launched the
careers of myriad false teachers through his school. He is the leading
pentecostal preacher in America, although his star has faded in the last
decade.
Jimmy Swaggart is dangerous because he has pumped out hundreds of
pentecostal preachers through his school and has deceived millions through
his television broadcasts. His influence was greatly diminished when he was
caught with prostitutes.
Pat Robertson is dangerous because of his network. He teaches the
charismatic false doctrines and has led millions astray into the charismatic
movement. He has been a leader in coercing believers into supporting a false
religion (Babylonian Talmudic Judaism), and a nation (Israel) that oppresses
a portion of its citizens (Palestinians).
Paul Crouch is also dangerous because of his network. He promotes
numerous false teachers and prophets such as Hal Lindsey. He has also been
a leader in coercing believers into supporting a false religion (Babylonian
Talmudic Judaism), and a nation (Israel) that oppresses a portion of its
citizens (Palestinians).
Franklin William Graham has spent 50 years working with false churches in
his crusades. The two million people who have allegedly made decisions for
the Lord at his crusades have been told to attend a local church of any kind,
including Roman Catholic Churches. The vast majority of his alleged
converts have not been born from above and are headed straight to hell. He
has done a great deal in furthering the ecumenical movement.
Hal Lindsey, the self-proclaimed father of the false prophecy movement,
popularized the false eschatology doctrines of most dispensationalists. His
books have influenced thousands of preachers, teachers and laymen leading
them astray in the subject of eschatology. Hal has also joined the
charismatic/pentecostal and ecumenical movements, and has been a leader in
coercing believers into supporting a false religion (Babylonian Talmudic
Judaism), and a nation (Israel) that oppresses a portion of its citizens
(Palestinians). Like most men who have acquired great wealth, prestige and
influence he has spent a good deal of time chasing women. His third wife and
church recently gave him the boot for his sexcapades.
Gerald Falwell has a network that isn't that large, but he has cloned hundreds
of junior Falwells with Liberty Baptist College. I attended LBC for one
torturous semester and saw first hand how bad that cesspool is. Gerald has
also been a leader in coercing believers into supporting a false religion
(Babylonian Talmudic Judaism), and a nation (Israel) that oppresses a
portion of its citizens (Palestinians).
Benny Hinn was a disciple of the infamous false teacher Kathryn Khulman
and has propagated the false doctrines she taught. He has adopted other false
teachings from Kenny Copeland and Ken Hagin who picked up the heretical
Mormon doctrine that all men can become a god. He also teaches the
heretical doctrine that YAHSHUA was born again in hell. He is a leading
"word faith" false apostle who is not born from above and headed straight to
hell!
Jack Impe not only pushes the false eschatology doctrines of John Walvoord
and Hal Lindsey, he is a leading ecumenical who praises John Paul II and the
Roman Catholic Church every chance he gets. He also jumped on the Hal
Lindsey false prophecy movement making numerous false prophecies
concerning the date of the Rapture. Like the rest of these false teachers Jack
supports a false religion (Babylonian Talmudic Judaism), and a nation
(Israel) that oppresses a portion of its citizens (Palestinians).
Timothy LaHaye also teaches the false eschatology doctrines that Lindsey has
popularized, but has been a major figure in subverting Messianic Faith
through the Council for National Policy which he founded in 1981. This
secret council consists of backslidden and apostate believers such as Pat
Robertson, Gary Bauer, John Ankerberg, Dave Breese, Bill Bright, Larry
Burkett, Jim Dobson, Mike Farris, Bob Jones III, D. J. Kennedy, Marlin
Maddoux, Gary North, R.J. Rushdoony and New World Order puppets like
Jack Kemp, Ed Meese III, Larry North, Richard Allen, Ed Atsinger III, Rich
DeVos, Jesse Helms, Reed Irvine, Trent Lott, Don McAlvany, Don Nickles,
Paul Pressler, John Sununu and Phyllis Schafley.
The success of these men and other false teachers within Messianic Faith is
irrefutable proof we are living in the last days (2 Tim. 4.3,4) of the last
hour (I
Yochanan-John 2.18)"
