Allow me to peg myself in my Christian beliefs. I was Born Again in 1977 under the mantle of the Word of Faith Movement and Charismatic Movement. This means I have a strong approval of all things Pentecostal, Prophetic and Bible Centered. The problem for many traditional Christians is there have been people in leadership that have been affiliated with this kind of Christian thinking of whom have gone over the line of excess leading to error. Yup, I admit it.
Too often those who love the Lord see someone move from Gospel validity to scandal and/or error, those Christians tend to throw the entire baby out with the bath water. As such the heresy accusers come out of the woodwork like hungry cockroaches pointing fingers at entire movements that start out as Biblically founded as heresies to be avoided.
Baptists called “tongue-talkers” (i.e. Pentecostals – Assembly of God, Church of God, Open Bible Standard, Foursquare people influenced by the devil.
The Charismatic Movement was as much transdominational as it was Pentecostal. So the Baptist problem with Pentecostals became a part of Mainline Protestant Denominations and Roman Catholics. So just as Denominations began to be less hostile to the belief in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit, some Charismatic preachers would confirm Denominational fears by committing sex-sins or fake healings.
The Word of Faith movement has all the complaints of the Pentecostals and Charismatics and in addition the complaint is that the Word of Faith is too close to New Age beliefs of visualization, affirmations and name it and claim it. There is some validity to the complaints when some take Word of Faith principles and warp into dogma that is definitely not Biblical. The heresy finger pointers are the classic throw out the baby with the bath water.
The Prophetic Movement is a combination of Charismatic and Word of Faith which has some legitimacy except of the classic dogging of sex-sins and prophecies tainted with personal flesh-thinking giving self-aggrandizing prophetic words or words too big to be accurate too often associated with a huge disaster or personal prospering. The too big syndrome more often than not fail especially when a specific time period is involved in the prophetic word.
Keep in mind that after Adam and Eve disobeyed God in conjunction in eating the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil God promised a fix in that a child born from a woman would reverse the curse of selling out to Satan.
13 And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
“Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.” (Genesis 3: 13-15 NKJV)
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
Between you and the woman,
And between your seed and her Seed;
He shall bruise your head,
And you shall bruise His heel.” (Genesis 3: 13-15 NKJV)
God talking to Satan tells him a child would be born from a woman that the heel of the foot would stomp on Satan’s head. Of course that was and is Jesus Christ the son of Mary and the Son of God.
26 Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, 27 to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 28 And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you; blessed are you among women!”[a]
29 But when she saw him,[b] she was troubled at his saying, and considered what manner of greeting this was. 30 Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. 31 And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name Jesus. 32 He will be great, and will be called the Son of the Highest; and the Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David. 33 And He will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of His kingdom there will be no end.”
34 Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
35 And the angel answered and said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God. (Luke 1:26-35 NKJV)
God’s prophecy to Eve became fulfilled in Jesus.
I am sharing where I am at as a Christian because people get bent out of shape when I cross post something from Rick Joyner who is sharing a vision he had about the terrorist organization ISIS coming into America. I found this Joyner prophecy in an email from Rick Joyner.
