Reinhard Bonnke, Evangelism, &
God’s Will
Reinhard Bonnke’s Ministry, Christ for all Nations, has evangelised
much of black Africa. ‘Souls, souls, souls’ is his slogan, but it is not
accurate. God has a more important agenda. It is ‘truth, truth, truth.’
or those who misunderstand
me, may I say that I have respect and admiration for Reinhard. He has worked
tirelessly in the harvest fields for decades, and done much to spread the
Gospel of Christ, especially in Africa.
What I say here, and in
other articles about his work is not from personal motive. It is my
commission according to Scripture, to:
Cry aloud, spare not
[do not hold back]; lift up your voice like a trumpet; tell My people their
transgression, and... their sins (Is 58:1, NKJV).
We serve a holy God, don’t
we? He wants holiness in His people, and a Bride prepared for His Son at
this late hour. He will not accept a compromising Church. He will purify her
in the ‘fires’ (trials) of the Great Tribulation. If you don’t believe me,
read Revelation 2:18-23.
There are severe drawbacks
in mass evangel- ism. I will come to those in a moment. And if I tell you
that it is not God’s ideal, and that it is preparing the way for a mass
falling away, I doubt if you will believe me. But that must not deter me
from telling the truth.
Not In God’s Will
Reinhard’s evangelistic
exploits have accumul- ated massive results over the last four decades. Many
people look at those physical fruits and think they demonstrate that he is
in God’s will, doing God’s ideal. Would you say the same of other large
enterprises or organisations with a big following? What about the Jehovah’s
Witnesses, or Mormons? They have large followings and claim to be in God’s
will. Or what if we go further afield and look at the Hindu faith? That has
a massive following in India. Does ‘might make right’?
Didn’t Zechariah write that
it’s:
‘Not by might, nor by
power, but by My Spirit,’ says the Lord of hosts (Zech 4:6)...?
So what are we to go by?
This is a complex issue. It’s not all
cut-and-dried as if plainly black or white.
Jesus inferred that we are to look at the
SPIRITUAL fruits (Matt 7:15-20). Although He said those words in the context
of assessing whether those who come in Jesus’ name are false – and Reinhard
is not false, He is a true man of God – the principle covers all human
endeavour.
The spiritual fruits of Reinhard’s life are
good. They include virtues listed in Galatians 5:22-24. I am not ‘knocking’
Reinhard as a man of God. Please don’t get me wrong.
What is not ideal, and which needs
correction, are some of the aspects of approach in his ministry that need to
be brought into line with God’s will. Currently, they represent a human
approach – NOT “by My Spirit” says the Lord.
These are addressed in the article CfaN
Is NOT In God’s Will, so I will not cover them in detail here. I will
merely touch on them as is necessary.
The proof that Reinhard is not in the will
of God was evidenced by the fact that God did not heal him of prostate
cancer about three years ago. He resorted to human medical help at that
time. (More on that later.)
Evangelism Is Out Of Step
He is not alone in this. All the major
evangelistic ministries do the same thing. They are intent on fund- raising,
reaching massive audiences by their own plans, and using human schemes to
achieve their objective. It’s not “by My Spirit”. It’s a compromise.
“Hang on a minute,” you may say. “Reinhard
has signs and wonders – healings and deliverances from demons – in his
meetings.” Yes. So do we. So do many others who represent Jesus. But that
doesn’t mean Reinhard is in God’s ideal will. God blesses faith, hears the
cry of the needy, and honours the name of Jesus where people sincerely go in
His name. But it doesn’t mean that all they do is what God wants, or the way
He wants it done.
I have explained in the article compilation
The Church Is Missing The Mark, where such evangelism is out of step
with God’s ideals. The article in that, entitled Souls, Souls, Souls,
explains that such an approach is based on a misunderstanding of God’s plan,
and a false premise.
There are also subtle allurements based on
pride and self-seeking that are unseen in the Church. These are addressed in
The Charismatic Deception. And, also in the same publication, the
article Simple Evangelism gives more appropriate guidance and the
proper benchmark for evangelism to be based upon. What Impresses God
and Some Revelations From God are also included. So, before you
criticise me for what I must write here, please read that paper to have a
proper perspective of what now follows that, here.
Thank you.
Further clarification on correct evangelism
is given in the booklet Witnessing For Christ. That also adds details
about how to evangelise, based upon the outline Jesus gave us all in Matthew
10 and Luke 10.
In Witnessing For Christ, I wrote
this:
Compare the two examples I have
described already with that of Reinhard Bonnke, international
evangelist, heading the CfaN team (Christ for all Nations). The
results speak for themselves. The fruits of his ministry testify to the
anointing God has upon him, as His emissary to the African nations.
A little over a month ago, God spoke
through a prophetic 'word' to us in a fellowship meeting:
I will be with you and will go before
you. I will open the gates and you will walk right through. You will go
where it is impossible to go without Me; you will do things that are
impossible to do without Me. For I will go before you. I will make the
rough way smooth before you. You will go forward and do all that is in
My plan for you to do.
Those words are fulfilled each week in
the ministry of Reinhard Bonnke... Millions have been brought into the
Kingdom of God through his efforts.
Did he plan to do this? Did he plan to
evangelise Africa? No. He was called to it. If he did not have such a
calling upon his life, he would probably still be struggling today to
reach a tenth of the numbers he has reached. Hundreds of thousands at
each open air crusade is the usual sight – an endless sea of black
faces! It's an awesome sight, one which only the Spirit of God has
brought to pass.
How does he do it? Here's his 'secret':
(Witnessing For Christ, pp 33-34).
You can read the rest of the explanation
there in that publication and why it has occurred. Reinhard, himself, said
that it was based on the power that God made available at Pentecost.
Pentecost was God’s appointed time in His plan, and He pours out His power
according to HIS plans, not ours. I will explain more in a moment.
God put an anointing upon Reinhard and
called him to evangelise in Africa. I am not contradicting what I wrote on the previous page. God has used
Reinhard to achieve what he has done, but the massive results do not verify
that he is still in God’s will.
God doesn’t want evangelism to continue the
same way. God has achieved His initial purpose. Now it’s time for change. He
is taking us all higher with Him. He is purifying the Church, and
challenging people further on matters of obedience and personal holiness.
There is a massive Restoration underfoot.
A New Emphasis
What is ahead of the Church is something
that Jesus predicted in Matthew 24:
And you will hear of
wars and rumours of wars... And there will be famines, pestilences and
earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Then they will deliver you up to tribulation and kill you and you will
be hated by all nations for My name’s sake. And many will be offended,
will betray one another, and will hate one another (Matt 24:6-10).
God wants a new emphasis at this time, to
help prepare His people for this worst time of trouble in all human
experience. He alerts His people through true prophets as He has done
throughout history. Prophets are His mouthpiece to the Church. It’s no
wonder that false prophets, who are stirred up by the enemy, rise up and
deceive many (Matt 24:11). But you must not let that fact detract from your
willingness to heed the unwelcome message of true prophets. Do not follow
the crowd. Listen to the isolated voice of the Spirit.
What God has to say is rarely appealing, but
it IS in our best interests.
If I were to tell you that mass evangelism
is now not God’s ideal, would I sound believable? If I tell you that it is
violating scriptural principle, I’m sure I would sound even less credible.
But true prophets bring messages that have the effect of isolating them.
Jesus promised:
This Gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all the world as a witness to all the
nations, and then the end will come (Matt 24:14).
We are so close now to the end, and the
world has not heard the Gospel yet as Jesus promised. So how will God
achieve His objective? Well, our article WAKING The Dead explains. He
does it by His Spirit, not by human effort and money. They are secondary.
“Jesus said: Go not from house to
house (Lk 10:7). Yet, people do! They disobey Jesus because they
don’t understand God’s plan – that He is NOT trying to save all at this
time – nor how to evangelise.
“You must ‘listen’ to the Spirit, otherwise your effort may be merely a
human effort, not of God, and will fail. You must be led by the
Spirit, not just by your own whim, desire, or rational mind.
“For as many as are led by the
Spirit of God, these are sons of God (Romans 8:14).
“Sons of God have God’s blessing, and
God’s Spirit goes with them. So they take Him to others.
“More is explained in three publications: Guidelines For Evangelists,
Listening To God, and Witnessing For Christ.”
(Tract, Evangelism: Going From Door
To Door.)
When Reinhard holds a mass rally, where loud speakers blast out the Gospel
message to everyone within earshot, is that not like going from door to
door? It is not selective. God is selective in the way He calls people, and
in what He reveals to them. He doesn’t indiscriminately give people all His
truth all at once. Nor does He indiscriminately call people.
If you disagree, I would ask you to consider
Paul’s words in Romans 11 about election (v 5) which involves selection, and
how He lets some be blinded in life (v 8), to believe false teachings (v 9)
and to be led astray into spiritual bondage (v 10). He will call them in
another life (Rev 20:5) after they are humbled by their experiences (Rom
11:32). Israel as a nation will
be converted after many of the Gentiles (v 25).
Paul’s words still ring true today! Notice
this:
For who has known the
mind of the Lord? (Rom 11:34a).
Even many mega-evangelists still don’t
under- stand God’s plan! God has a purpose in that, too.
God’s Appointed Times
“You are suggesting that mass evangelism is
now not God’s ideal and that it is violating scriptural principle. But what
about Pentecost? When Peter preached to the whole crowd which gathered,
3,000 were converted in that one meeting (Acts 2:41) and that number swelled
to about 5,000 a short while later (Acts 4:4).”
Yes, but that was by divine
appointment. God set up the venue. God called, and He
rewarded.
It wasn’t a case of man deciding to try and
evangelise the area. It was the opposite. Peter and the apostles were trying
to keep their heads down!
Moreover, that Pentecost appointment was
unique. It was an “appointed time”. You read about those in Leviticus 23. I
explain their significance:
The moon marks off
the seasons (Ps 104:19).
The word seasons
is from the Hebrew word moedim, which means appointed times or
appointments. These are the times God has set aside for us to make
our appointments to collectively worship Him. This includes weekly
sabbaths, annual sabbaths and the new moon festivals.
Just as Israel observed
the appearance of the new moon, so we too should "watch" (Luke 21:36). This,
for us, has a greater spiritual meaning than merely the observation of
physical indicators of the times of our communal appointments with God.
Doing the latter, however, is a type of our greater obligation to "watch"
spiritually. (The Festivals of God, p 31.)
...the Church Jesus
founded was established upon the traditions which God gave Israel, and these
observances are part of the sure foundation God has given to His people.
They are the “appointed times” which God has decreed for all His
people to come before Him in worship. (Ibid. p 48.)
Pentecost was given to Israel as a prophetic
sign of the firstfruits harvest (Lev 23:15-21). How fitting that the first
outpouring of the Spirit should occur then, because of what that appointment
with God depicted.
No wonder God told them to wait in Jerusalem
for that prestigious time! It was to be God’s appointed time in more ways
than one. God visits His people on these auspicious occasions! They are His
holy days!
Man does not have authority to establish
such appointed times. God has decided upon the Sabbaths given for His
visitations, when we are to meet before Him. (Pentecost was an annual
Sabbath, a day of rest and holy convocation.) With the other festivals of
Leviticus 23, Pentecost was a divine appointment and part of the
faith once delivered to the saints.
This truth needs restoring to the practice
of the Church! Instead, it has been blasphemously supplanted by humanly
decided times of meeting before God!
Likewise, man doesn’t have authority to
decide when to call a mass rally for God’s purposes. Doesn’t God call? Yes.
Then why are men usurping that prerogative of His? Could that be blasphemy,
too?
When Elijah called down fire from heaven
upon Mount Carmel, was that his idea and his decision, or was it God’s? I’m
sure you know it was God’s doing. So it must be with all of us engaged in
His Work today.
When Reinhard first evangelised in Africa,
God set up the appointments. ‘Fortuitously’, as you read in Ron Steele’s
biographical account of Reinhard’s early ministry in Africa, God arranged for Reinhard to take over from an evangelist who was
pulling out.
Reinhard trusted in God for the finance to
do His Work. (For one example, read Plundering Hell, by Ron Steele,
pp 25-29.)
How things have changed! Reinhard and his
CfaN team now decide:
1) where to evangelise, based upon human
decisions, not divine appointment, and,
2) on schemes to raise the necessary money.
So, what were once divine prerogatives have
now been commandeered by men. It’s not surprising that God is distancing
Himself from what is going on.
Revelation Is Needed
Reinhard needs revelation from God on which
regions or towns to evangelise and how to do it – words of knowledge, words
of wisdom, and dreams or visions. Where are they? Human planning is not good
enough. It’s not by human decision-making, or might or power that God’s Work
is led; it’s by His Spirit.
God in His grace still calls, still heals
and still delivers, according to His purpose, even though the vessels are
not sharing in His ideals. But soon, God will take away even these
opportunities, because there is Tribulation coming. It is coming to destroy
a rebellious Church who refuses to accept God’s holy gifts, His holy
Sabbaths and festivals, or acknowledge His appointed times.
Reinhard was not healed of cancer because he
is out of God’s will. Did he receive revelation to go to a surgeon? No. He
might claim he was in God’s will, but he wasn’t. Couldn’t God heal him? God
was healing people in Reinhard’s meetings! Of course He could, but He
didn’t, because He wants to make a point.
God had caused me to write to Reinhard about
things that he needs to change in his teaching, but there was no proper
response.
If you ignore a prophet, you ignore God. So,
God’s response is to ignore you (Prov 1:23-33).
In my own case, I have bad teeth that need
healing – cavities as big as Cheddar Gorge, and some teeth broken off. I
have suffered pain with them in the past, but God is faithful to His
promises if we are faithful to Him. When I had endured two or three days of
pain with them a few years ago, God gave me a dream in which He healed me
and gave me a completely new set of perfect teeth. In the dream I wept with
the joy of His presence.
That was His assurance to me that the
healing awaits His appointed time. He will use it for His glory, not just
for my benefit. Who am I? Nothing of worth if it was not for Him. All He
does with us is for His greater spiritual reasons.
Meanwhile, as I wait for Him to fulfil His
promise, He has been good to me, helping me to persevere. He is good to all
who trust in Him.
Obedience Required
God could have healed Reinhard, so that he
didn’t have to resort to the surgeon’s knife – which is not a healing, but a
postponement or deferment. God’s promise is sure – to those who trust Him
and who are in His will:
God resists the proud,
but gives grace to the humble (1 Pet 5:5b). ...cast[ing] all your care
upon Him for He cares for you (5:7). ...the God of all grace, who called
you to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a
while, will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you (5:10).
And the prayer of faith
WILL save the sick, and the Lord WILL raise him up! And if he has
committed sins, he will be forgiven (Jas 5:15).
Notice the word WILL. God means what He
says. Don’t disbelieve Him! It’s up to us to be doing what He wants, so that
He can fulfil His promises.
In Reinhard’s January 2008 partner letter –
which is effectively a reminder that he needs money – he claims he is “under
God’s direction” (2nd para.). He talks about “the power and authority of God
being manifest...” (3rd para.), and about Christ’s authority.
I came to him in Christ’s authority and he
dismissed me without response. Well, God doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer.
God has an appointed time for everything, including judgement:
I will come near you for judgement; I
will be a swift witness against sorcerers, adulterers, perjurers...
because they do not fear Me... (Mal 3:5).
Jesus came to His own, and His own did not
receive Him (Jn 1:11). History repeats itself.
Jesus came to His own, but He was a sign to
be spoken against (Lk 2:34), that the thoughts of many hearts would be
revealed (Lk 2:35).
Jesus came to His own – “who kills the
prophets and stones those who are sent to her!” (Matt 23:37.) The end result
will be this:
See! Your house is left
to you desolate (Matt 22:38). ...they will not leave in you one stone
upon another, because you did not know the time of your visitation (Lk
19:44).
Therefore you also be
ready, for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect (Matt
24:44).
That particular coming is for judgement. It
is explained in our unique booklet The Coming Of Christ. Few
understand the severity of the judgement of God.
Therefore consider the
goodness and severity of God: on those who fell, severity; but toward
you, goodness, IF you continue in His goodness. Otherwise you also will
be cut off (Rom 11:22).
Perversion of Prayer
I have in front of me a leaflet with
Reinhard’s signature on it, although I wonder if he wrote it!? In it, he
encourages people to send in prayer requests, so that others can pray over
it, “release their faith” (a bit of jargon that basically sounds good but
means little), and expect miracles from God because two more ‘believers’ are
petitioning God for the same thing.
This is deceitful and corrupt!
Reinhard wasn’t healed, although many more
than two people “stood in agreement” with him for healing. So, the practice
is misleading or dishonest.
Obedience is more important than
supplication. God is looking for an obedient heart.
Reinhard said in that leaflet:
“If you have a pressing need in your life –
for example a loved one who needs that special touch from Almighty God, a
personal situation that can only be resolved through prayer – then I urge
you to read the remainder of this letter, and return the two enclosed prayer
cards as quickly as possible.”
Why do you need prayer cards? Jesus and the
apostles didn’t use them. Why do you need Reinhard or CfaN people to pray
for you? What’s happened to Jesus that He can’t help people directly any
more?
The problem is not Jesus; it’s the people
who are going in His name. They are exploiting others, manipulating them,
standing in Jesus’ place as their mediators, blocking out His light and just
giving them some of their own! The purity of Jesus’ light is being
‘filtered’ through the prisms of human error and substitution.
This practice causes a transfer of
loyalties. Gullible sheep are being fleeced by voracious wolves, with
ever-increasing appetites. Their loyalty to Christ and their focus on Him
are being subtly replaced with a substitute which looks to men in ministry,
instead. The manipulation behind this practice goes unseen. But the real
motive is fund-raising, not healing, or deliverance, or salvation. However,
God, in His mercy, does reward the needy faithful little one who responds
even though the means is far from ideal. God always looks on the heart. So
the faithful and humble receive.
But God is not pleased with the manipulative
methods of these shysters masquerading as men of God, who have influenced
Reinhard, nor with their compromised agenda that perverts God’s Word.
Reinhard wrote (or his ghost-writer wrote):
“The Bible is also very clear on the
power of the prayer of agreement. Jesus tells us in Matthew
18:19: Again, I say to you that if two of you agree on earth
concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father
in heaven.”
In that case, according to this faulty
emphasis, you can get two people together to ask God for a new Rolls Royce
or some other expensive car to travel in His name. So long as you ‘work up
the faith’ and convince yourselves that He will do it, it will occur.
No it won’t! It’s misrepresenting Scripture!
It’s not rightly dividing the Word of God (2 Tim 2:15).
Reinhard says the Bible is very clear on it.
It isn’t clear any more, because men with faulty reasoning have muddied it
and distorted the meaning. I explained in The Bible Speaks Vol 1,
about it:
The Prayer Of Agreement
One of Jesus' most commonly
misused promises is this:
If two of you agree on
earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My
Father in heaven (Matt 18:19).
Charismatic ministries
customarily send out letters encouraging their supporters to donate finance,
and at the same time, to send in written prayer requests on reply coupons.
The evangelist later prays over them (often in a public ceremony on TV),
ostensibly 'agreeing' with every request. The outcome is, supposedly, that
God answers the requests.
This is all a farce! How
can the evangelist possibly agree with thousands of prayer requests he has
not had time to read? And, if he hasn't read them – and therefore can't know
whether he agrees with them – his 'prayer' is merely for show, a vain
performance! What if some requests are blatantly unbiblical? Should he be
saying 'Amen' to what he should never sanction or agree with? Would he be
held accountable in the Day of Judgement for these words if they are not
righteous?
To anyone with any sense,
this practice of praying over a mountain of thousands of written prayer
requests is dishonest as well as farcical.
More seriously, what if the
prayer request offer is a clever ruse to persuade the respondent to part
with money? Like the Catholic Church did regarding 'indulgences'? (Popes
would claim that they could rescind penalties for sin upon payment. They had
a 'price list' for various sins. The worse the sin was considered to be, the
greater the price of the indulgence. The practice was outrageously
blasphemous.)
Even if the TV evangelist
has no deliberate ploy to extract money from people, is there still a hidden
agenda, subtly implied? One which links the giving of money to the promise
of answering people's prayers?
I would suggest to any TV
evangelist who follows this tradition to cease this practice immediately.
Apart from the above considerations, Jesus never meant His words to be
abused so.
Jesus was talking, in
context, about internal disciplinary matters in the congregation, to restore
harmony in order to be sanctified. Where two had previously fallen out after
one had sinned against another, unity could be restored by following the
procedure Jesus advised, and if necessary by presenting the facts before the
whole church (Matt 18:15-17). In such a situation, where people can be
reconciled and forgiveness shared, the prayer of agreement in the church
finalises the reconciliation, which Jesus assures He will honour in heaven,
even if only two people pray. Thus, the whole assembly is protected from
satanic attack that can enter through disharmony.
Remember Jesus' words:
If you forgive the sins
of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are
retained (Jn 20:23).
The prayer of agreement
concerns spiritual discipline, not getting what you want from God. (End of
excerpt from The Bible Speaks Vol 1, pp 19-20.)
Please remember that
deception is just a very slight deviation from truth! Satan is subtle!
God Is Demeaned!
This egregious practice – which practically
all the large ministries engage in – demeans God. It implies that He doesn’t
act sovereignly to help you; that He requires more people to pray for your
needs before He will act. Perhaps He’s reluctant? Perhaps He’s capricious?
Perhaps He doesn’t really care? Those thoughts will be planted by Satan in
some uncertain minds, leading to harmful doubts.
It also implies that we have to resort to
such a ritual to get what is needed. Yet from the Reformation onwards, the
Church has been extricating itself from the dreadful ritualism of the
Catholic harlot who murdered truth and those who held to it. Which way is
the Church going now? Backwards!
This reversion to ritualism replaces Jesus
with men who now stand in His place as your mediators. It suggests in
unspoken language that godliness is a means to gain, something that Paul
decried strongly (1 Tim 6:5). In Reinhard’s postscript to that letter he
gets this in:
Please believe me when I tell you that
we depend upon your prayer support ... and we also rely upon your
willingness to send financial gifts of support! You never have to
give a gift or send an offering to have us pray for you...
I’m glad he added that last sentence, but
let’s face it, the reminder of money makes the sensitive reach for their
wallet, so the letter has achieved it’s aim, which reveals the motive behind
this prayer.
Why Is Finance Not Enough?
In a CFAN Extra Impact e-mail: Nostalgia,
Part 1, Reinhard states:
“...unless we receive some quick (immediate)
financial support, we run the risk of not having enough resources ready for
the upcoming crusades.”
Well, what’s wrong with God? Is His arm too
short to save? Isaiah posed that question to errant Israel many centuries
ago. It’s still poignant today. Isaiah answered it:
Behold, the Lord’s hand
is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor His ear heavy, that it cannot
hear. BUT YOUR INIQUITIES HAVE SEPARATED YOU FROM YOUR GOD; and your
sins have hidden His face from you, so that He will not hear (Is
59:1,2).
The suggestion that Reinhard is the victim
of sin or iniquity is so obnoxious to most ears that it is thrown into the
rubbish bin without due consideration. We get this response all the time
from people. They are self-willed, close-minded, prejudiced and stubborn.
God just can’t get through to them. But
Isaiah’s words were recorded for posterity, and we are all part of that
posterity of the nation of God, through Jesus.
Reinhard hasn’t got enough to do what he
wants, because his agenda is not correct. God gives enough for the task, and
he should cut his coat according to his cloth, not beg for more cloth!
Through the lack of funds, God is saying
that it is time for redirection; that it is time to contract, not expand.
Please consider Ecclesiastes 3:
To everything there is
a season, a time for every purpose under heaven: a time to be born, and
a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted
(Eccl 3:1,2). ...A time to break down and a time to build up (3:3b). A
time to gain, and a time to lose (3:6a). A time to tear, and a time to
sew (3:7a).
Since God is not found in the institutions
of men (prophetic word); and because size tends to diminish God’s influence
as human activity grows, God does not want CfaN expanding, but contracting.
I quote:
“There is a mortal danger
in any organisational structure of looking to men rather than to God, no
matter how well-intentioned one may be...
“Frequently, as church
movements grow, so too do the satanic influences that infiltrate them. The
vanity, pride and prestige of those in control can also grow...
“Human considerations often
pressure out God’s influence within churches. It is a rare church which
withstands the pressures of organisation!
“Human organisation tends
towards apostasy. The Holy Spirit is pushed out. The usefulness to God of
such human instruments is then sadly limited.” (God’s Church – Whose
Authority? Pp 11-12.)
Satanic elements
have infiltrated your ministry, Reinhard. Some of them are men who use
marketing techniques to fleece the sheep. People are being milked by clever
rhetoric that amounts to manipulation and even intimidation. Derek Prince
explained very lucidly the three main manifestations of the spirit of
witchcraft:
Manipulation,
Intimidation, and
Domination (spiritual control).
You should know that, Reinhard. I’m sorry,
it’s not good enough to let men run your ministry, and to allow them to use
such cunning methods to extract funds from gullible sheep. If you can’t
manage your ministry, and have a rein on such evil practices, then it has
got too big. You need to contract. If you won’t, God will cause it to
contract, or shut it down.
Just because all the major charismatic
ministries engage in this sort of fund-raising gimmickry doesn’t justify it
or mean it is right. When you started out, you looked to God. Now you are
looking to men.
Remember therefore from
where you have fallen; repent and do the first works, or else I will
come to you quickly and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you
repent (Rev 2:5).
If this practice were to continue ad
infinitum, the funding of ministry outreach would all go to the large
ministries, preaching a watered-down gospel which lacks all the elements of
reclaimed truth which ‘Elijah’ has come to restore. Small ministries are
already starved of funds, and the Restoration Work of God is seriously
hindered!
Reinhard Is Blocking God’s Truth
By adhering to a wrong emphasis, Reinhard’s
ministry is misdirected. It’s not intentional, but it IS damaging! It is
blocking the spread of God’s Truth.
I will explain in a moment about the aspects
of truth that God is restoring in this end-time. It is the most important
work on earth today. There is nothing more important to Him than restoring
His truth to His Church. He doesn’t want a compromised gospel. He wants it
kept pure, and all believers to accept again the faith once delivered to the
saints.
‘Sheep’ are gullible. They follow with
little thought. It’s not surprising that they follow the large, imposing
ministries, that have massive outreach, and take little notice of the small
ministries. But God tells us not to despise the day of small things (Zech
4:10). That is how God works most powerfully by His Spirit (Zech 4:6).
Instead of blocking God’s agenda, Reinhard
should be promoting it!
Because so many are supporting the large,
compromised ministries (compromised with regard to the level of purity of
truth that they are able to teach), these large ministries like CfaN are
STEALING from the ones God has ordained but which are small.
It is not intentional, but it is the effect
of ignoring or downgrading the restoration of God’s truth.
Wolves Are Tolerated!
The censure against the church of
Ephesus was that, despite all their good works, they had left their first love
(Rev 2:1-4). This demise is explained in Understanding The Book of
Revelation. It involved acceptance of falsity in place of truth.
Reinhard is doing the same thing, and worse.
To Ephesus, Jesus acknowledged that they had:
...tested those who say
they are apostles and are not, and have found them liars (Rev 2:2).
But Reinhard is not even ‘testing’ the men
he associates with! He is sidling up to false ministers for the sake of
reaching the large audiences he is intent on preaching to.
Beloved, do not believe
every spirit, but TEST THE SPIRITS, whether they are of God; because
many false prophets have gone out into the world (1 Jn 4:1).
There are many false ministers in the
Church!
Beware of false
prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are
ravenous wolves (Matt 7:15).
This is elementary. I shouldn’t have to
remind an accomplished man of God to check spiritual credentials. Every
Christian should know how to test the spirits. But very few do – even very
few pastors, evangelists, and church leaders!
Why is that duty left to the maligned
prophets? True prophets are rejected, so demonic influences prevail in
churches. If you don’t believe me, just peruse the revelations God gave in
dreams, below.
Whenever Reinhard conducts a ‘crusade’, also
standing on the large platform are church ‘big wigs’. At least half of them
are false and will not be in God’s kingdom! They are posers. They like the
elevation. They love the attention, the long robes, the best seats and
princely positions. That’s why you see them lining the platform. They’re
there to serve – not others – primarily they’re there to serve themselves.
It pays them to support Reinhard. He increases their church size and
improves their financial coffers!
All this is despicable to God! He HATES it!
God Speaks About The Perversity Of Most African
Churches
The Church in Africa is in a dreadful state! It’s bad enough in the West, but in
Africa there are many perversities blatantly tolerated! God revealed in these
dreams to Kassahun Ayele some of what is wrong:
February 7/05. Black
African Churches Demonised
I met with a black African couple. They invited me to their
congregation. I accepted their invitation and went to their church. When we
arrived there I saw many dogs in front of the church and we couldn't get
inside. All the dogs [demons] began barking at us. I told the people to run
for their lives but they didn't take my advice. I ran to save my life.
Comment:
The dream is a warning to black African churches that demons are very much
present. We have to come out of compromised worship, and flee to spiritual
safety! Pure truth sets people free from sin and demons.
February 10/05. K.
Tossed To And Fro By Demons
I was trying to help a woman who was in a river. While we were in the
river an unseen force threw her on top of the water. I sensed that the force
was a demon and began to rebuke it. At this moment the unseen force threw
her onto the shore.
Comment:
This imagery depicts the river of the water of Life and its effect upon the
majority of Christians. Because they accept demons in their lives, they do
not benefit from the living waters of God, but are thrown out of them onto
dry land. Demons do not want you to benefit from God’s cleansing river!
July 3/03. K. Woman
(the Church) is demonised
I met with a woman. While we were studying God’s word, her tongue came
out of her mouth. It looked like a snake. Frightened, I began to rebuke it
because I sensed she was possessed by an evil spirit. After many rebukes, a
huge snake came out of her mouth and tried to bite me. It missed me and sank
in hot water and disappeared.
June 18/03. K. Not
all accept the Truth that cleans
I saw a woman rolling in the mud. Her body was dirty. I wanted to help
her to get her up from the mud but she didn’t want to rise from the mud.
Meaning:
This depicts the condition of the Church. She is full of spiritual dirt. We
want to help her, but she won’t accept the help. The only sure way to be
clean is to be washed by the Word of Truth.
Corrupt & Vile Church Leaders!
I received this letter from Nigeria in 2003:
14th May 2003
Thank you for the
newsletter that arrived yesterday and the dream diary. I was shocked
about the dream that was revealed to you. What was revealed was 100%
correct! [This dream was given to me, MBH, on 6th April 2003, and is on
page 9 of the Dream Diary Supplement to Newsletter 21. Also
included below.]
I'm young by age
without financial or material support from any source here in Nigeria.
Yet, God has called me to proclaim the truth to over 250 different
denominations that have helped Satan to cage millions of souls into the
Babylonian system of worship (Rev 8:1-4).
Prostitution is no
longer regarded as sin in the church. There was something that happened
recently in one of the most notable and recognised churches. A pastor
and elder of the same church gave their wives in exchange for sex. It
was made known to every member, but they still officiate. No member can
question or challenge their authority in the church.
It's common here
that some folks who claim to be prophets or pastors have been caught
red-handed with other people's wives, not to mention the unmarried ones!
I've stood up in opposition to this act. I think this is the reason why
God gave you the dream.
I was in a
revelation and I was taken to the UK and I saw Helena praying fervently
for God to strengthen me more.
Reuben I Oviomor,
Nigeria.
6th April 2003. Malcolm.
Perverse Domination of Church Leadership
The scene was a public
area. A woman and a man were standing in the open, and what they were about
to do was pre-announced. It was about to be televised. The man brazenly
announced that he was going to fornicate in public with this woman!
The woman just stood
there passively. We were horrified! It was outrageous! We wanted to turn off
our TVs so we didn't have to see this awful thing take place, but we were
transfixed by the revulsion of it. The man put his hand on his flies, waited
a short while as he looked around (for drama's sake), and then unzipped his
flies and exposed his phallus.
Meaning:
Are you shocked? I bet you are. The dream was meant to shock. It was a
representation of the brazen- ness with which church leaders impose their
dominance over members. Their approach is as perverse in the spiritual as
the physical analogy in the dream. Church authority is vile to God!
This is a horrific allegoric representation
of how despicable the false teaching on church authority is, especially in
Africa, where it is taken to a new low!
Such church leaders who exert their power
over the church – symbolised by the woman – think there’s nothing wrong with
it. They love their power, and think they have a biblical right to rule over
members, but IT IS NOT BIBLICAL; IT IS SATANIC!!
Reinhard does nothing to oppose this vile
perversion that masquerades as God’s authority!
God gave a similar dream to Helena as this
article was being written:
26th January 2008. H. Perverse church
leadership. I saw a young woman standing on the side of the road. A man
came up to her and, while standing, engaged in sexual union with her. It was
disgusting. She was manipulated to submit to this act and expected to enjoy
it. She accepted his lordship over her by letting him do to her what he
wanted. She thought she was being loyal.
Meaning:
The dream uses sexual imagery, just as in Revelation 2:14 and 2:20, to
illustrate what is so very wrong by way of allegory. Hierarchic church
authority is perverse! It is a worldly form of government adopted by the
Church.
The woman – representing true believers –
is meant to be Jesus’ wife, not that of ecclesiastical overlords. These men
have usurped His position, authority and prerogatives, and misused their
position in order to dominate and control.
They claim to be upstanding, but their true
motives are revealed by the dream!
The Church Authority Abomination
The abuse by ministers in positions of power
is legendary! In Africa, the Nimrod spirit has
ousted God’s Spirit of humility and replaced it with a perverse power mania.
It is as bad as the paedophile perversions practised by countless Catholic
priests.
The false teaching that a minister
automatically has the authority of God in his position leads to all sorts of
abuses. Members do not oppose it because they are conditioned to accept that
it is their spiritual duty to submit regardless of what is expected of them.
They are taught NOT to contest a minister.
No one sees how right it is to stand up
against this vile false teaching and practice! Nor how wrong it is to submit
to it! It is of Satan! Testing the spirits is forbidden. You are not to
question or judge, just do as the minister says! When he does evil, it is
condoned.
Repression and spiritual poverty are the
result!
Pride Is Rife In African Ministry
It’s generally wrong to seek
ministry. Usually, what underlies that desire is a wrong motive – a self
motive! Yet in black Africa, we have seen men race off to do it because they
expect elevation through it, a secure income, a convenient lifestyle, and
power.
When they look to us, hoping to GET from us,
they are disappointed, as the following dream from God illustrated. They
shouldn’t look to men but to God!
19th Nov 2002. M. A seducer and Africans
A dream of a young woman who wanted me to make love to her (symbolic of
a wrong spiritual approach, not literal physically). When I declined, she
went after someone else and sought his favours.
Before this, in the dream, I saw a building
where a number of young men came out all dressed in a typical African
colourful robe, rejoicing and showing off their robes, as they paraded out
in single file [depicts uniformity, mental conditioning and mind control].
Then, a column of young women did likewise. They were very proud of their
robes in which they were dressed.
The presence of pride in the psyche leads to
sin and spiritual downfall. Many are falling! This dream was given to David
Isaac Ohuoba in Nigeria, who has raised people from the dead in his small
ministry:
20th May 2003.
David Isaac.
Pastors become mad as a judgement from God!
I saw many pastors that
went on preaching. On the way they went mad. People from the streets came
out looking at the men of God, they were mocking them. As I came and asked
why the men of God had become mad I saw a hand writing on the wall. It
wrote: "The insidious effects of pride and the elevation of church leaders
made them go mad."
You don’t have to hear many sermons from
highly elevated, pompous, arrogant, African pastors or evangelists before
you sense their state of mind from their tone of voice! Why do they need to
shout? Why do they need to get all hyped up, pace up and down, put on a
flamboyant display of pomp and posturing for subjects that could be covered
with a next-to-normal voice pattern?
Why? Because they want to impress you with
how ‘spiritual’ they are. They are asserting their great ‘insight’, ‘zeal’,
or their ‘superiority’. The louder they shout, or the more vigorous their
posturing, the more ‘spiritual’ and ‘inspired’ they think they are.
It would be a joke if it wasn’t so
exasperating and annoying! Church members are easily beguiled.
These shallow charlatans denounce keeping
the Sabbath as the fourth commandment states, thus threatening the growth of
God’s newest Reformation:
Small Churches In Africa, Vulnerable
21st Dec. 2004. H.
Small girls vulnerable
I saw small girls living in boxes which were exposed to the elements
without any roof. These girls were vulnerable. There were men [church
leaders] nearby who were threatening, aggressive and abusive. They were
hostile towards the girls.
Meaning:
A situation
in Africa where leaders are harming those who want to keep the Sabbath and
obey God more fully. The secure shelter provides spiritual teaching which
will shelter them from those who are evil and used by the devil.
The Antiquated Church (In Africa)
13th May 2004. M. The
antiquated woman
In this dream there was a fat, overweight woman, living in an old house.
There seemed to be a man living there as well, although he was not focused
on in the dream. The house needed work doing to it.
I was trying to replace
some roofing tiles which covered a ledge on the outside wall. I had to
really stretch to try to do this. As I did so, the length of tiles, cemented
together, broke. I told the woman that there was little point in putting
them back anyway, since they were not functional really, they were more for
appearance. We could waterproof the ledge with bitumen.
The woman rambled on a
bit. She was totally out of touch with reality, because she was referring to
Winston Churchill as if he were still around.
Meaning:
The antiquated Church. So behind the times. Ministering to these people is
like in the dream – you really have to stretch to reach out to them, yet
there's not much you can do with them. [Refers to many in African
countries.]
The obesity of the woman
represents laziness and / or poor understanding or knowledge. (People can be
fat because they are lazy, but equally there are other reasons, such as
hormonal imbalances, often caused by poor quality food, bad diet, or even
other factors outside their own control.)
This dream above reveals a major difficulty
in trying to bring further truth from God to these people. Yet Reinhard is
in an unparalleled position to be able to reach so many! It’s curious how
those with the opportunity don’t have the truth in their possession. But if
they did, would they have the inclination to present it and lose their
following and platform?!
It’s the same with missionaries:
Blind Missionaries
2nd September 2005. M.
£5,000 and the white man
I sent £5,000 to a white man in Africa to distribute MM literature. When
I went to see him, he just looked at me and wondered why I wanted to
distribute it. Although he said nothing, you could see by his expression he
was thinking: “What on earth for?”
Meaning:
The white man represents missionaries and ministry leaders of western
outreaches in Africa. God is pointing out their spiritual blindness. They
can’t see what God is doing through MM literature.
Most Africans Need A Big Wash!
God holds leaders very accountable. African
churches have been led astray largely because of poor leadership, much of it
immoral and self-serving. The results of this are seen in brethren. God
revealed the spiritual state of most African believers like this:
24th Feb 2006. H. I saw
a woman emerge from the African continent. She was half-formed and half
naked like a prostitute.
Meaning: This is the church in Africa, with much confusion and division.
There is spiritual poverty mixed with pagan teaching.
17th December 2005. M.
Fixing the bath in
This bath had a really big waste pipe. I was making sure it was working
properly.
Meaning: To do with sorting out problems in Africa. There is so much
deceit and corruption in Africa, even among Christians!
Reinhard should be addressing this dreadful
spiritual state of affairs, rather than just trying to bring more and more
new believers into churches that are far from ideal! Compromised churches
produce compromised Christians. And compromisers don’t inherit the Kingdom
of God. Only overcomers will be
there! (Rev 2:17.)
The antiquated woman represents the church
that is still living on outmoded doctrines and with old religious practice.
I don’t mean that she lacks up-to-date music or facilities. God isn’t
concerned so much about those aspects as He is about His Truth. She
represents the ‘old church’ that still keeps Sunday and is not in tune with
the Spirit in that regard. God is individually waking people up in various
isolated places to the essential nature of the Sabbath truth, that it is a
lost truth to most of the Church and that it is a major means for communion
with God in the Spirit.
He is doing similarly with His truths about
His festivals – that are biblical – not the unbiblical trash of Christmas
and Easter that are derived from paganism!
Reinhard “tolerates that woman Jezebel, who
calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual
immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols” (Rev 2:20). To understand the
full meaning of this severe indictment, please refer to Understanding The
Book Of Revelation. God says He will punish her children with death!
(Rev 2:23.)
God is restoring the faith which the saints
had at the outset in AD 33! You are commanded to STRIVE to retain that set
of beliefs, not syncretised replacements which God never sanctioned! (Jude
3, 4.)
There are other serious flaws in the
mentality and approach of African Christians. Why isn’t Reinhard addressing
these? He should be, because ‘Elijah’ is here, and calling for reform!
African Christians’ Wrong Focus
11th May 2006. M. The
Secretary
I was in a room with two other people. A secretary came in. She was
dressed for the job. She was smart and 'looked the part' (clearly she was
worldly in that respect). Some things were said about the work of God and
money in relation to that work.
The secretary commented
that the wealth was with the western churches (this secretary was in an
African country – Kenya). She said that all these other churches which
didn't preach the fulness of God's truth had plenty of money, but that God
doesn't give money to 'us'. By 'us' she meant those who subscribe to keeping
the Sabbaths and holy days, etc.
I immediately started to
correct her. She was not right. God DOES provide for those who are in His
will! I was vehement in my response, because she was speaking doubt and
unbelief. She didn't have true faith in God. Her trust was in the physical,
in the flesh, in money. She was merely looking at things from a human
perspective, and didn't know God. That was because her reliance was upon the
things of the flesh; she sought to BE someone, hence the way she dressed to
look good in the eyes of others. She wanted to APPEAR 'with it' to them.
That is seeking the approbation of others. It's not seeking the Kingdom of
God and His righteousness (Matt 6:33) upon which God's promise of provision
is predicated. But she couldn't see what was wrong with her approach, and
that evil still in her heart.
I started to tell her
about Elijah, how God separated him. God told him to take his servant and
dog (I'm not sure that Elijah had a servant or a dog, but they were in the
dream, so it can apply to others today whose situations are different from
Elijah's) and go to the place He told him. There God provided for him,
because Elijah just listened to and obeyed God implicitly. He didn't listen
to others. He did the will of God. He was not out to gain the approbation of
others.
I had barely started
this discourse, when the woman tidied up her things to go home. It was the
end of her shift, and so she was off home. She didn't stay to listen to what
I had to say, so clearly she didn't care. Her comment about not having money
(that SHE thought 'we' needed to do God's work in that part of the world)
was obviously not one that came from a heart genuinely seeking the mind of
God. It was more a gripe. It was from unbelief. Her deeply rooted belief was
that God DOESN'T provide, and that the churches who preach falsity have
money. So, from her limited viewpoint, she drew the conclusion that God's
promise of provision in the Bible is false, and that money comes to those
who preach 'smooth things, who prophesy deceits' (Is 30:10).
So, many such people
reject God's message of pure truth; they rely upon oppression and depend on
deceit (see Is 30:12, NIV).
Prophesying:
After she had gone out, I carried on speaking. The words were pouring out of
my mouth. They were from God and were a blistering attack on the churches
who pander to people, so that they can get money from them, which gives them
power and influence.
There was so much
vehemence in the words that came from the Spirit! They were a blistering
attack on people who compromise, who accept worldly (physical) standards and
norms, but whose heart is not on the purity of God and His truth.
As I woke up, I wanted
to retain all that there was in the Spirit to be received, but there was so
much, I couldn't. In the state of semi-sleep, coming out of the Spirit realm
and back into the physical realm, it was not a welcome transition! In the
spirit realm, it was so easy to comprehend and to express all that is truth,
all that is right and good. But, as soon as you come into the physical realm
again, you just cannot take all that with you. After this dream I was
longing to be in the Spirit realm again. [The last part is a longing that is
partly because of all the aggravation that physically minded people in Kenya
have given me!]
Meaning:
The dream highlights the wrong approach in most people in Kenya and other
similar African countries, including most Christians, who have come to rely
upon money instead of God, and who look to western churches or ministries to
provide for them instead of God. The transition is subtle and largely
unseen.
God hates this wrong approach which looks to
the physical instead of to Him! Any such substitution is unfaithfulness to
God and part of the Antichrist!
Preparing For A Mass Falling Away!
Reinhard, instead of trying to instigate
mass conversion – which is not God’s agenda for this age – would do better
to be lifting the faith of believers so they are able to trust in God during
the hard times coming shortly. THAT’S God’s main agenda now: to prepare the
Church for the Tribulation.
However, he has no idea how close this time
is – if he even believes it is coming?! And nor does the Church.
Consequently, a mass falling away is around the corner, just as the Bible
predicted long ago for the end time:
Let no one deceive you by any means; for
that Day [Jesus’ return]
will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is
revealed, the son of perdition (2 Thes 2:3).
The falling away from truth has already
claimed many adherents. God is restoring truth to the Church, but all the
major evangelists are blithely unaware of what ‘Elijah’ is doing in that
respect. Millions are being brought into a shallow conversion, without
sufficient truth to test them at the outset, so half or more will fall away
in the next few years as conditions worsen.
Then they will deliver you up to
tribulation and kill you, and you will be hated by all nations for My
name’s sake. And then many will be offended, will betray one another,
and will hate one another... And because lawlessness will abound, the
love of many will grow cold. But he who endures to the end shall be
saved (Matt 24:9-10, 12-13).
But many of those whom Reinhard is
evangelising in Africa will not be in that latter group. They will be part
of the massive falling away, because they will refuse to accept the further
truth God is presenting.
Here are a selection of other dreams which
God has given us, relevant to Africa and believers there:
African Believers Find It Hard To Pray
23rd July 2006. M. 2)
Africa: No
place to pray
I saw people
poorly dressed in clothes with holes. They were trying to find a quiet,
private place where each could pray alone. It was hard for them. Some hid
themselves in sleeping bags, or curled up in a corner, to try and get
somewhere alone where they could pray on their knees.
Comment:
This reflects a big difficulty for Christians in the poor areas of black
Africa. Certainly there is nothing more important for a Christian’s
spiritual survival than prayer, and prayer is sorely needed in those
countries. I don’t mean public prayer; I mean what the dream portrayed –
soul- searching, humble, honest, private prayer of the individual before
God.
The Dangers
Besides the dangers of shallow conversion,
lack of prayer, and many difficulties associated with daily living in poor
countries, African believers have to contend with church leadership that has
not prepared them, because churches care more about themselves than
the people who comprise them. Church leaders care more about their
church, and their this or that, than about God’s people!
Church leaders block the Move of the Spirit.
This last Restoration in this age is NOT accepted by all the established
churches and ministries. Just as Elijah was not accepted by all the
well-established religious leaders in his day, so it is today throughout
Christendom.
The dangers are not seen and are shocking!
This situation is leading into the worst time of trouble in all history, not
just for the world, but for the people of God also! The result is an
inevitable falling away!
As was portrayed in a stark dream, it is
leading to a massive spiritual slaughter! This is explained in Preparing
A Flock For Slaughter. God says:
Son of man, prophesy against the
shepherds ... Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed only themselves!
Should not the shepherds feed the flocks? You eat the fat and clothe
yourselves with the wool; you slaughter the fatlings, but you do not
feed the flock (Ezekiel 34:2,3).
The weak you have not
strengthened, nor have you healed those who were sick, nor bound up the
broken, nor brought back what was driven away, nor sought what was lost;
but with force and cruelty you have ruled them. So they were scattered
because there was no [true] shepherd; and they became food for all the
[evil] beasts of the field... (Ezekiel 34:4,5).
...nor did My shepherds
search for My flock, but the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed
My flock. Therefore, O shepherds, hear the word of the Lord! 'Behold I
am against the shepherds, and I will require My flock at their hand; I
will cause them to cease feeding the sheep, and the shepherds shall feed
themselves no more...' (Ezekiel 34:8-10).
God holds the 'shepherds'
or leaders of His flock accountable. But, because of self-will, pride,
convenience and expediency, 'shepherds' are actually preparing the flock for
SLAUGHTER!
Misplaced Priorities In Africa
1st August 2006. M.
1) Africa
In this dream
I had sent ten postal orders for £30 each to Africa [this doesn’t depict
giving people money literally; it symbolises giving people valuable MM
literature]. A girl in Kenya collected the counterfoils. She said they were
worth 30p each. I was amazed that she said they had any value.
Meaning:
30 contains the meaning of a final (3) witness for mankind (10), contained
in MM writings. This is the spiritual value we offer others. But they don’t
see its value. The girl depicts some believers with whom we are in touch in
Africa. They are greatly impoverished physically. (But never forget what
Jesus said in Rev 2:9!)
The imagery suggests
that they focus on things of no value, which they place value on.
What Believers Need
What believers need are the
full truths of this last Restoration, to build them up spiritually, and help
them to mature and trust in God, instead of looking so much to the physical.
The following dream, given to Kassahun, confirms this fact:
December 28/03. K.
Kassahun's work and MM's work to mature the Church
I dreamed that I saw a partially completed building [the Church]. The
workmen were gathering up their tools preparing to leave it unfinished but I
entreated them to consider the Master. "The building is not finished," I
said. "Come back and keep working until it is roofed." Then they came back
and continued the work.
Comment:
Most pastors and evangelists have no idea how unfinished the Church is. She
is not ready to be the Bride of Christ. She is missing a lot of correct
doctrine, which we can provide, to fill in the gaps.
The Final Restoration Of Truth
Wielding the Divine Axe
summarises 11 areas of truth that are being restored in this ‘Elijah’ time:
1) God’s Sabbath,
the 7th day of the week, was unlawfully replaced by Sunday, the 1st day of
the week, by human decree from the third century.
Likewise, God’s festivals, listed in
the Bible, are His true festivals that have never been rescinded. It’s time
for the Church to return to its true roots!
2) Church authority
has been, and is, the most insidious hindrance to spiritual growth for
believers. It is the biggest single abuse in the Church! Hierarchic
domination by church leaders always prevents the full latitude of the
Spirit!
3) The prosperity gospel
is a deceitful pack of lies mixed with some truth. It is preparing many
people for disillusionment and spiritual disaster!
4) Antinomianism
is a big word and a big problem! The majority of Christians believe this lie
in one shade of grey or another.
5) Spiritual manifestations
have caused huge problems in auspicious places like Toronto. Purely because
church leaders and believers have not tested the spirits.
6) Women in the Church
have been denied their rightful place of equality with men.
7) The Trinity
is a digression from pure biblical truth about the true nature of God. I
know that sounds shocking to most ears, but it doesn’t stand up to full
biblical scrutiny. The majority have been fed part-truth part-lies.
8) The Rapture
and the coming of Christ are sorely misunderstood. The Church is not going
to be whisked away in a secret rapture, to escape the horror of the Great
Tribulation. She must face it and prove her allegiance to Christ.
9) Judgement
is likewise very misunderstood. The Church will face its time of severe
judgement from God for rejecting this Last Restoration.
10) Witnessing for Christ.
Many are misguided in their approach. There needs to be a proper grasp of
God’s plan to follow the lead of His Spirit in this area.
11) The elevation and exaltation of church
leaders is blasphemous,
idolatrous and a great distraction to believers. It undermines loyalty to
Christ.
In all the above areas, prevalent belief and
practice is out of line with pure biblical truth.
The publications overpage restore correctness and biblical accuracy,
preparing the Bride for Jesus’ return.
Revelations From God About Some Of What Is Ahead
The Church needs a full
Restoration of Truth for her to be ready for Jesus’ coming and the next Age,
His Millennial Age. Then it will spread to the rest of the world, but first
those who are to rule with Christ must accept all He offers her now. If you
refuse, God will judge you as it says in Proverbs 1:23-33.
He will perform a fast work
and cut it short in righteousness (Rom 9:28).
25 Jan 04. Kassahun.
A fast work
I saw a great light moving with incredible speed. Nothing could stop it.
Wherever it went, little shiny arrows flew out from it. People who received
these little shiny arrows were themselves shiny and healthy.
Meaning:
There is very little time left before Jesus comes. Just a matter of a few
years. Much work needs to be done in that time, reaching and teaching people
God's truths, symbolised by the shiny arrows. God will cut short His work in
righteousness (Rom 9:28). But before that time comes, He will move with
lightning speed.
The End Of The Age Is Close!
June 21/03. Kassahun.
'Stars' falling from the sky
I saw meteorites falling to the earth. There were many.
When they touched the ground, whatever they touched was burned. Buildings
collapsed. Trees were scorched. All things were out of control. Terror
seized me and I thought that I would be hit next. The air was filled with
much weeping and crying.
Meaning:
As in Revelation, this depicts one heavenly sign which presages the end of
this Age, and the terror that will grip earth’s population because of
widespread havoc.
Malcolm’s White Paper
July 27/03. K.
Malcolm was giving a white paper to all of us who were gathered in a
large hall. Those who were there took that white paper. But my paper was red
and there was a number written on it. The number was 10 29 39.
Meaning:
The white paper symbolises righteousness being restored through MM
publications. Red depicts trial and warfare that will first come to Ethiopia
where Kassahun lives.
10 = the number of
humanity;
29 = expectation of judgement;
39 = 3 (finality) x 13 (Satan).
Humanity and Satan will
be judged by all that must shortly take place. MM reveals that in the
literature.
Angels At Malcolm’s Place
July 27/03. K. Angels
in our cellar
I was in the cellar with the family of MM. A few men came in clothed in
white linen. They looked like monks. Their faces were the same, so one
couldn’t distinguish one from another. They were walking here and there,
blessing the cellar and all those who were there. When they finished their
work, they went out slowly.
Meaning:
This depicts an unseen aspect of the MM Revival which is shortly to begin
when God raises people from the dead who have been dead for years. Angels
are God’s messengers, performing duties for God to His people.
The Dead Will Be Raised In Africa
16th Dec. 2004. Helena.
3) Skull comes alive
I saw a skull being made alive. As a result of this I saw someone preach
the gospel in Africa with great zeal.
Meaning:
God is the
only One who can raise people from the dead. But such feats are coming –
soon! These will not be simply people who have just died. They will be those
we have named in Waking The Dead – people who died years ago, and who
will come back to testify for Jesus.
THAT’S how the whole
world will be reached with the Gospel! Then, soon after, the end will come
(Matt 24:14).
Malcolm B Heap, January
2008
‘Elijah’ is at work right
now. So, be aware:
The axe is already at
the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit
will be cut down and thrown into the fire (Luke 3:9, NIV).
