The Enemy Assigns Roles
My latest column has been posted at Christian Worldview Network, “
The Moses Code Movie Blasphemy and the Big Shift”.
It is a summary of many of the things covered here at Slice recently regarding the tidal wave of New Spirituality deception
sweeping the globe and how it is being presented by various teachers and authors from the same script.
I point to the fact that just as the Lord assigns us roles in the Kingdom of God to do His will, the enemy has servants who do his will.
You will find low-level proponents of eastern spirituality and occult teachings in every town in America.
These are the people who open their living rooms to meetings discussing
Neale Donald Walsch’s latest book,
or Oprah’s latest author/shill for the anti-Christ.
These are the ones who will be holding some of the thousand screenings
and prayer vigils worldwide with the opening of the Moses Code Movie.
Then you go on up the chain.
There are the intermediate false teachers and leaders who work on a regional level or who take the writings of the big kahunas and spread them far and wide.
Then there are those who promote wickedness in high places.
That would be men like Congressman Dennis Kucinich
who works in the halls of Congress promoting his Department of Peace along with his New Age friends.
There are all the authors and speakers who sell millions of books like
Neale Donald Walsch
Marianne Williamson
Deepak Chopra
Eckhart Tolle
and so forth.
The enemy has his own in the media like Oprah Winfrey who serve as fountainheads of this spiritual poison.
Oprah right now is featuring a 365-day course on the Course in Miracles on her satellite radio program,
taught by Marianne Williamson herself.
Oprah made Marianne Williamson what she is by featuring her book,
A Return to Love: Reflections on a Course in Miracles,
many years ago.
Overnight, she was a bestselling author.
Oprah is now pushing The New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle.
There is no false prophet she will not promote to millions.
She’s a big one.
Then there are those who work within the ranks of evangelical Christianity.
These subversive false teachers are assigned various audiences.
Some are given the task of deceiving the unthinking, shallow masses.
These false teachers smile a lot and hand out spiritual bubble gum to all takers.
These are popular guys who don’t talk about big shifts or the great emergence, they tell you that God wants you to be happy!
God wants you to have your best life now.
They speak of wealth and prosperity and they lead their followers around because of the lust of the eyes and the flesh.
They have an easy job to do because everybody loves a circus and they are only too happy to provide one.
For some audiences, Satan chooses men and women who are gifted with great subtlety.
These are the ones who spend their careers undermining confidence in the Word of God.
They question old truth, they redefine, they re-imagine, they twist and distort.
They travel to conferences far and wide where evangelical pastors and youth leaders attend.
Their special script reads, “Yea, hath God said?”
They are described in Jude:
But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves.
Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.
These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;
Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
To execute judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of all
their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him.
These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts;
and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men’s persons in admiration because of advantage.
They are assigned to deceive the thinking people.
This target audience is deeply sincere, highly intelligent but they are poorly taught in biblical truth and sound doctrine.
These are often young people burned out on circus church.
They hunger for something substantive and real.
But because their feet are not solidly on the rock of Christ,
they are vulnerable to these gifted, forked-tongue leaders.
These false teachers are hand picked because
of their specific gifts in producing error on in intellectual level.
No bubble gum here,
just a hard core push for the rejection of Scriptural authority and a sneering contempt for those who hold to biblical truths.
These are men in black turtle necks with a charming, witty presentation.
They are educated, erudite, articulate, and as subtle as the serpent.
They play off the insecurities and frustrations of young people utterly fed up with McChurch.
They speak at colleges where these young people are alone for the first time,
away from the guidance of Christian parents.
These are higher order false teachers and they are legion today in the publishing world.
In times like these, we need to see what the enemy is doing so we are not, as St. Paul wrote, ignorant of his devices.
Error needs to be met with truth.
Scripture tells us to contend, and to put on our armor first.
God is responsible for the results.
We will not stop the tidal wave of error, but we will have sent truth forth for those remaining souls who have ears to hear.
Though the cause of Evil prosper, yet ’tis Truth alone is strong,
And, albeit she wander outcast now, I see around her throng
Troops of beautiful, tall angels, to enshield her from all wrong…
Careless seems the great Avenger; history’s pages but record
One death-grapple in the darkness ‘twixt old systems and the Word;
Truth forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne,-
Yet that scaffold sways the future, and, behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping watch above his own.
