I appreciate your concern and I am for Sarah Palin.
The damage done by this movement already in charismatia is enormous. It began with Bob Jones’ revelation by his ‘angel” Emma who reinstituted many of William Branham’s Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God doctrines for the birth of the Kansas City Prophets of Bob Jones, Paul Cain and Mike Bickle of IHOP.
Despite the perverted sexual activities of Bob Jones in the early 90’s, which in a strict Biblcal sense was ‘Baal Worship” the man was “prophesying” over naked women in his church office while molesting them, this movement did not lose steam but went on to swallow the Vineyard movements with the Toronto Blessing “revival” of the 90’s.
This led to this summer’s “Lakeland Revival” with Todd Bentley, birthed in the same false prophetic bathwater as Kansas City and Toronto.
The most stunning thing about it was that the Assemblies of God — who had for nearly half a century stood against this movement — now hosted it. Throughout June and July many concerned Charismatics were in an uproar that the AOG would not see the deception that was going on.
ABC news did. So did USA Today. But if we read our bibles, we see that the fruit of this false prophetic Jezebelic spirit is always sexual immorality. Sure ‘nuff, Bentley was having an affair that led to his filing divorce papers in early August. For the charismatic mindset, this means that during this whole ‘revival” he was in sin, which disqualifies every NARbot leader who backed him.
I posted this not to dig dirt on Palin but to give her a chance to discern and distance herself from these deceptions. These NARbot leaders want to “get close” to her already— they are power groupies — -and already have “prophesied” about her in a familiar spirit of course.
But if we read our bibles, we see that the fruit of this false prophetic Jezebelic spirit is always sexual immorality. (or HISTORY...)
NIV Revelation 2:18-29
18. "To the angel of the church in Thyatira write: These are the words of the Son of God, whose eyes are like blazing fire and whose feet are like burnished bronze.
19. I know your deeds, your love and faith, your service and perseverance, and that you are now doing more than you did at first.
20. Nevertheless, I have this against you: You tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess. By her teaching she misleads my servants into sexual immorality and the eating of food sacrificed to idols.
21. I have given her time to repent of her immorality, but she is unwilling.
22. So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I will make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways.
23. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am he who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds.
24. Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets (I will not impose any other burden on you):
25. Only hold on to what you have until I come.
26. To him who overcomes and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations--
27. `He will rule them with an iron scepter; he will dash them to pieces like pottery' -- just as I have received authority from my Father.
28. I will also give him the morning star.
29. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
I'm going to agree w/ CA Conservative on this one...Having attended several A/G churches in the past 20 years, I doubt the vast majority of the A/G put much stock in the goofy stuff that rears its ugly head in the pentecostal churches. Your garden-variety A/G members are too busy w/ their own lives and church ministries to be caught up in Bentleyesque silliness. I've never heard "dominionism" preached. In my churches the only things Masters Commission students were involved in were missions trips, Bible study, and evangelistic outreach.
Additionally the A/G general superintendent made a statement some months ago that essentially warned people not to get involved w/ the Lakeland foolishness.
