An Escape From Bethel and the False Prophetic
excerpt from m’kayla’s korner
Just received this as a comment. Please, if you are involved with Bethel, Crowder, any part of the charismatic/word of faith movement, the healing rooms or the prophetic, check these methods with the word of God. They may seem right, but they are occult at the core. I know this is so because I used to be a part of it all. Praise God for His saving grace!
I really wanted to share my story too as my church in the UK has become well & truly Bethelized, the transition into it has been a subtle & underhanded invasion, swapping of truth for error, what Im posting is about that journey of utter deception & how it gets in.
late 2009- Bill Johnson comes to my town in a big church wide event…. some time after that mtg (I didnt go to it because I really dont like big events) our senior pastor sat down with some leaders & discussed the audacity of bethel people visiting mind/body/spirit./psychic type fairs & setting up stalls that would offer to pray for healing & prophesy over people that would frequent such a place… 1st red flag no gospel preached/ & irresponsible – how on earth do people who are mostly drawn to occult practices discern & distinguish & make appropriate responses to that which is reportedly from a Holy God in that type of setting. ok I know god can reach anyone anywhere anyhow – but his “method” promotes spiritual confusion I believe in people who are dead to sin & lost to HIM.

“A lot of what the church is afraid will offend the world, actually attracts the world and only offends the religious”. ~Bill Johnson
This is an extremely dangerous comment from Bill Johnson.

I come from AOG.
I can’t discount some healings r from God and some from the devil.
But I do feel some manifestations r just plain not right. N I have also received ‘failed’ words from God.
That being said I hold no anger or confusion . But just wondering is there anyone who would like to partner with me in prayer to see the true gifts of God manifest .
Cause I know where gifts stand in that Jesus and his word is first. But I am passionate abt this. Pl advice

Hi Sammi,
Yes indeed some healings do come from God and alas some from the devil. Those who receive demonic healings often suffer mental problems and have spiritual issues.
Failed words, if one is thinking God is speaking directly to them outside of scripture, it means they have listening to the enemy or the source is from their own mind. Deut 18: 21-22 is instructive. God can bring scripture to mind to help someone and this is a sure way to encourage others.
The spiritual gifts are given to edify the church. I like this list and explanation of the gifts.
