LIFE IN THE MIRACLE WORLD
By Malita Wamala

http://www.ugandaobserver.com/new/easy/family/fam200705174.php
There is a lot of hate emails going around about the Benny Hinn and Creflo Dollar crusades, and I am wondering, what is wrong with some people!
I mean, if you don’t understand a doctrine, isn’t it safer to stay away and leave right thinking adults to make their own choices and learn the hard way if need be, instead of attacking the unknown?
I thought I knew all the ways through which the devil works, and how wrong I was! I have been receiving email after email, beseeching me not to attend the conferences because someone thinks I am going to be badly ripped off and lied to… Interestingly, all of them are coming from Born Again Christians, or so they say.
Well, all I have done is assure them I will be at both crusades, irrespective of what anyone thinks. It has made me think about the too many attacks on the faith of late.
Everyone has something nasty to say about Pentecostal churches and I think many times, the attacks are even justified by our actions. Actions that do not preach about the Jesus Christ of Nazareth we serve, actions that suggest some churches are serving someone or something else.
But I don’t think the solution is in debates and passing judgment about who is right and who is wrong, rather it lies in prayer.
Like the Bible says in Matthew, Jesus told the parable of the farmer who sowed good wheat but in the night while he was sleeping, his enemy sowed weeds among the wheat.
And when the wheat sprouted, the weeds too sprouted and the farmer’s workers were worried and reported this to their master. He advised them to simply let the wheat and weeds grow together and when the time for harvesting comes, the wheat would be stored and the weeds taken away to be burnt.
I prefer that we treat the happenings in the body of Christ that way. Our master shall deal with that problem when the time is right, if only we pray. It is a battle we cannot fight carnally.
I know there are innocent Christians lost in the wrong places and being misled by false ministers, but again, it is time everybody grew up spiritually and understood the God they serve.
I don’t see, for example, how I can witness certain things that I know are wrong going by the bible I read happening in a church and I stay put simply because the pastor okays them! We need to wake up, grow up and develop a personal relationship with God.
That said and done, a reader complained about this column focusing on born again churches and quoting pastors, instead of looking at Christianity in Uganda broadly. Well, I am a Born Again Christian and only attend Pentecostal services and cannot write about what I don’t know, I am afraid!
It would be deceitful of me to quote from the Catholic Church or Orthodox and Anglican services that I haven’t attended. Amen.

My Analysis
It is so amazing how accurate the word of God is , the word of God cautions us that false prophets will come and perform miracles in last days, and if possible they will deceive the elect(Mathew 24:24). The bible also cautions us that we should to be ware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy (Mark 8:15), Mathew 16:6).The heresies of Benny Hinn and Creflo Dollar have been exposed by the Lord Jesus Christ and whoever claims that this is hate is an hypocrite. Evidence speaks for itself. A close scrutiny of Malita’s article reveals beyond reasonable doubt that she is not reading the entire bible, but just picking verses that make her feel that she is not deceived.
We must separate our selves, on the day we die, we are going to stand alone, your pastor Malita will not be there, you will be accountable alone. We must remember that there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, if we are found to be goats. We live in a period of great deception, if you want the truth you look for it under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Let God be true and every man a lair-time will tell who is not telling the truth.
Malita should , watch these two first videos on Marjoe Gortner who fooled thousands of uncritical Pentecostals. This child could do most the things Benny Hinn does, he could sleigh people in the spirit, he could speak in tongues etc

Crowds jam Namboole for Benny Hinn
Crowds jam Namboole for Benny Hinn
The New Vision Friday, 18th May, 2007
http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/12/565901
By Joyce Namutebi and Flavia Nakagwa
THOUSANDS of excited believers on Friday converged at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole in Kampala for Pastor Benny Hinn’s crusade, his first in Uganda. The international evangelist was scheduled to jet in at around 5:00pm for the ‘Holy Spirit Miracle Crusade’.
He was invited by the First Lady, Mrs. Janet Museveni. People started flocking to Namboole as early as 7:00am to avoid being caught up in the traffic jam on Jinja Road and also to get strategic positions inside the stadium. Some brought their sick to receive healing.
Those who travelled from as far as Gulu and Arua in the north and Mbarara district in western Uganda, arrived at Namboole by midday.
The two-day event has also attracted people from neighbouring countries including Kenya and Rwanda.
“I could not miss this chance because this is the time I think my child will get her healing,” Joyce Wangari from Nairobi said, as she and her child struggled to get into the stadium.
The police have deployed over 200 officers in and outside Namboole, according to the spokesperson, Asan Kasingye.
He said they would set up a coordination centre to handle security matters.
Kasingye noted that the Police would work hand-in-hand with other service providers such as the fire fighters, St. John’s Ambulance and Mulago Hospital.
He advised people to go to Namboole with only what is necessary and to be very careful about the people seated next to them.
Some people have used the event to make money by selling rolled chapati popularly known as ‘rolex’, drinks and airtime.
A 5,000-member choir of singers from various churches of born-again Christians ministered to the crowd and several pastors from their churches were involved in the preparations.
Pastor Aaron Mutebi of Entebbe Miracle Centre said he was very excited by Benny Hinn’s coming.
“I’m always excited when great men, whom God is using, visit the nation,” he said.
“Christians should believe in God and his prophets.” Sources on the organising committee estimate that the two-day visit will cost over $1.5m (sh2.5b) including flight costs and logistics, reports Sebidde Kiryowa.
It is estimated that Benny Hinn is flying in with television equipment from the USA worth $4.8m but hired at about $250,000.
To illuminate the place enough for the television cameras, the same lighting system that was used on the set of the 2004 Oscar winning Hollywood film The Constant Gardener, which was shot in Nairobi’s Kibero slum, will be brought in.
According to sources, the lighting equipment cost about $500,000. Four separate sound systems will be used at Namboole, one of which will come from Nairobi at $500,000 while the rest will be hired from Uganda.
Ange Noir proprietor Charlie Lubega’s sound system has been hired at $150,000 while two others have been hired at $50,000 each.

Unlike so many other churches, KPC has over the years maintained financial transparency with its congregation. Audited by the internationally renowned Deloitte & Touche, KPC presents annual accounts just like any other company with shareholding
For the faithful, there is no shortage of churches in Uganda, certainly not in Kampala. Most notably, over the past decade, Pentecostal, evangelical churches have spread across the city and its environs. As the trend suggests, other churches have had to surrender most of their flock to these churches with far-reaching consequences.
GOOD WHEELS: Pastor Garry Skinner drives a similar car. File Photo
POSH: Robert Kayanja’s residence in the “Pastors’ Village” in Bunga, Kawuku.
Thousands of people, almost every day of the week, endure punishing traffic to get to famous churches like Kampala Pentecostal Church (KPC), Rubaga Miracle Centre, Kansanga Miracle Centre and Omega Healing Centre. Having risen from makeshift shelters popularly known as biwempe, these new churches have become winners with enormous budgets (some exceeding those of so many corporate companies).
Unlike so many other mainstream churches, evangelical churches are unabashedly business oriented. They borrow corporate tools ranging from niche marketing to MBA hiring to expand their share of churchgoers.
They also operate seven days a week and their workers receive salaries that are competitive with what other NGOs and government departments offer. For instance, KPC Group's Watoto Children Ministries is now an internationally renowned brand and will soon have a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the KPC Group also has a business manager who takes care of the church's financial matters. In the same breath, Rubaga and Kansanga Miracle Centres have fully operational offices that are also manned by a team of experts.
Disney look
Being great proponents of the 'prosperity gospel', many of the churches don't want to be associated with poverty, which can interchangeably be interpreted for failure.
In order to make newcomers feel at home, most have or are in advanced stages of designing churches to look more like modern entertainment halls than traditional places of worship.
Flushed with success, Pastor Robert Kayanja, founder and senior pastor of Miracle Centre Cathedral, is still rolling out a debt-free construction of a grandiose 10,500-seater glass auditorium, the largest of its kind in East and Central Africa. His 'church' also has an efficient transport ministry that buses people - free - to the church, basketball courts and a cafeteria.
Not to be fazed, KPC is set to build an architectural wonder in form of a 4,500-seater dome at its present site on Bombo road. KPC's projects co-ordinator Collins Kigooya says that though the construction will begin next year, the new centre will offer adjustable seats, basketball courts, a shopping mall, an Internet cafeteria and a library.
Going by its artistic impression, the structure will cost the church an arm and a leg. KPC will also build a 6,500-seater sanctuary in Kisaasi. In 2005, Kansanga opened the doors to its 8,000-seater multi-million dollar church after 13 years of construction.
Although most of these churches hold strict religious views, they scrap dull hymns in favor of multimedia worship and are dominated by people in the 15-35 age bracket.

Funding
Evangelical churches never know an acute lack of finances to put up buildings. For Pastor Kayanja, even if he started out alone in the 1980s by selling his first car to purchase the Shs120m land on which the present cathedral sits, he has never felt the same pinch again while raising money.
He has raised a considerable amount of money from his global crusades, in addition to the tithes and church offerings. For instance, according to his website, while on a trip to Korea, a lady received a miracle healing donated the money that was used to buy all the glass for the building. More so, Hindu benefactors who run a steel workshop gave him steel bars worth $60,000 when he had only $50,000. Similarly, from Russia, someone donated 20 double-decker buses to the church.
KPC's overriding success in fundraising has been the Watoto Ministries, a singing group of orphans. It's believed that Watoto makes more revenue than the church itself. In the recently released annual financial statements for 2006, Watoto contributed Shs10.5b, up from Shs7.1b in 2005. Watoto tours annually all over the world; donations have increased by 48 percent. In 2006, their sponsorships were worth Shs3.1b and product sales Shs12m.
Unlike so many other churches, KPC has over the years maintained financial transparency with its congregation. Audited by the internationally renowned Deloitte & Touche, KPC presents annual accounts just like any other company with shareholding and this has created a sense of belonging from the congregation.
According to Uganda Revenue Authority's publicist Patrick Mukiibi, churches have public character, so they are exempted from paying taxes as per the Income tax Act. "Churches are registered as organisations with public character and unless they indulge in other profit making ventures then they are liable to paying taxes," says Mukiibi.
Branding experts
Most evangelical churches have entered the 'winners' bracket' by becoming brands with 'franchises'. Over the last decade, KPC has set up over eight celebration centres all over the country while Miracle Centre has over 1,000.
Branding experts that they are, the new church leaders are spreading their ideas through every available outlet. Christian music appeals to millions of youths, some of whom might never give church a second thought. Many of the pastors are also authors. Pastor Kayanja has for instance written books including the highly acclaimed Bringing the Presence of God Home, Power Beyond Words, One Thousand Fold Increase and Sorry Am Late.
In addition to books, churches also get extra proceeds from the sale of audiotapes, videotapes and DVDs. For KPC, Watoto sells a host of merchandise on its website and at the church's offices. A T-Shirt costs $15 (Shs30,000) while DVDs of their past performances are at $25 (Shs50,000).
"Evangelicals' eager embrace of corporate-style growth strategies is giving them a tremendous advantage in the battle for religious market share," says Roger Finke, a Pennsylvania State University sociology professor and co-author of a new book, The Churching of America, 1776-2005: Winners and Losers in Our Religious Economy.
Why popular?
Evangelicalism's theological flexibility gives it the freedom to adapt to contemporary culture. With no overarching authority like the Vatican, leaders don't need to wrestle with a bureaucratic hierarchy that dictates acceptable behavior. "If you have a vision for ministry, you just do it, which makes it far easier to respond to market demand," says Michael Lutwama who attends Omega Healing Centre.
People like the flamboyant Peter Sematimba, Robert Kayanja and Imelda Namutebi, who preach "the prosperity gospel" have become popular in many circles. They endorse material wealth and tell followers that God wants them to be prosperous. Sematimba believes that the people of God are now learning that prosperity belongs to them.
"The more the people of God understand the word of God concerning prosperity, the more they get to embrace this truth. Prosperity belongs to them." Sematimba says.
God takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servants; most pastors drive top-of-the-range vehicles and some live in what has been dubbed "The Pastors Village" in Bunga, Kawuku.
Pastor Skinner drives a Grand Jeep Cherokee, Pastor Namutebi a Hummer, Pastor Isaac Kyobe Kiwewesi of Kansanga a BMW and Prado while Pastor Kayanja will soon own a Gulfstream and perhaps become one of the very few Ugandans who can afford one.
Internationally, renowned evangelist Pastor Creflo A. Dollar who will be coming here next month (June) owns two Rolls Royces and travels in a private Gulfstream 3 jet.
Benny Hinn who will be in the country this weekend is said to receive a salary of $116,000 plus a housing allowance from his church, and "much more" in book royalties. He drives an American-made Lincoln.
Joyce Meyer of the Joyce Meyer Ministries currently receives $250,000 in taxable income and the ministry still provides the Meyers with free use of the home, the cars, the plane and an $80,000 annual retirement contribution. She also receives a portion of the $3m a year in royalties earned from books and tapes sold at bookstores. Meyer provided more in royalties to the ministry over the past years than she and her husband had received in salaries and benefits. Meyer has 70 books in print, including one on the New York Times bestseller list.
So organised are these churches that they even have an umbrella body headed by Apostle Alex Mitala. The chairman of the National Fellowship of Born Again churches reveals that, "So far we have a membership of over 1,000 churches though some of them are not fully registered with us." He says that starting up a church requires one to register it as a Non Governmental Organisation with the registry of companies and ministry of internal affairs.
Gushers of cash?
Many churches have grown in terms of the congregation, not only in Uganda but also elsewhere. All this growth, plus the tithing many evangelicals encourage, is generating gushers of cash. In Uganda, the mega churches typically have not fewer than 500 members and an annual budget of around $100,000.
The average mega church pulls in $2m a year and this money is used to run its projects. For the smaller churches on the fringes of the city with three services, about Shs200,000 can be collected in a day.
Mega church business ventures sometimes grow beyond the bounds of the church itself. KPC, early this year bought 104.1 Power FM and also expanded the Watoto Children's homes that have given hope to the orphaned.
Rubaga Miracle Centre's Never Again project, set up in September 2001, has helped close to 300 children, as has the one in Kapeka, Luwero. In these homes, children are housed, fed, clothed, taken care of and educated. With all due diligence, evangelical churches haven't only won over a great number of flock but have also put themselves in a position that has helped their leaders prosper.
Influential Pastors in Kampala
Pastor Isaac Kyobe Kiwewesi is the senior pastor of Kansanga Miracle Centre which he started in 1992 from humble beginnings.
Pst. Gary Skinner is the senior pastor of Kampala Pentecostal Church. The Canadian-born pastor has been able to transform the English-speaking cell-based church located along Kampala Road into one of the most sought after churches in Kampala.
Pastor Robert Kayanja started ministry at the age of 22 and is the founder of the Highway of Holiness International Foundation (Kayanja Ministries) with offices in Texas, USA. He is known to minister with a unique anointing together with miracles, signs and wonders.
My Analysis
The Prosperity Beast system
The writer of this article is defending lies in ignorance. In Revelations chapter 13, the bible talks about two beasts; the first beast was wounded to death and its wound was healed(Rev.3); the second beast came up and exercised the power of the first beast and causeth them that dwell on the earth to worship the first beast(Rev.13:12). There is no doubt that the first beast was the Roman Catholic church(counterfeit Christianity) that was wounded by the reformation. But, what exactly is the second beast!!! The second beast represents counterfeit Christianity or counterfeit ‘Protestantism’. This counterfeit Christianity manifests its self in a variety of forms such: as Americanised Christianity, corporate Christianity, word faith Christianity, Westernised Christianity, Prosperity Gospel Christianity, dominionism Christianity to mention but a few. In Rev.13:4, the bible says that who can wage war against the beast and in Rev:13:13-14, the bible says that the second beast does great wonders and deceiveth the dwellers of the world by his miracles. Pentecostalism and charismatic Christianity despite its mega, corporate churches is part and parcel of the second beast.
If you asked most of the prosperity preachers about whether Catholics are going to heaven, they will tell you yes, many believe that the pope is a great spiritual leader, many are Catholics disguised. The lord Jesus Christ will expose them, wait, you will be shocked. I’m glad that the likes of Benny Hinn have come to Kampala. The Lord Jesus Christ has used this occasion to demonstrate how naïve, undiscerning the so called born agains in Uganda are. The Lord has exposed how deceived the so called prosperity pastors in Uganda are; MINDS ON FIRE FOR GOD HEARTS ON ICE;DECEIVING AND BEING DECEIVED, SPIRITUAL FORNICATORS, WHORES , Harlots . Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, the entirety of your word is truth, Lord(Psalms 119:60)
As evidenced by the monitor article above, the prosperity preachers in Uganda as part of the beast system, are using the media to deceive people, because the have the money. Many saints have been deceived that gain is goodliness. If you want the truth you have to look for it yourself with the guidance of the Holy Spirit of course . Only God is going to destroy the prosperity beast system, it is so powerful that even the print and electronic media succumbs it. Can you imagine, despite the lies of Benny Hinn, all the prosperity preachers in Uganda are quiet, because they are in bed with Mammon and not the Lord Jesus Christ. It is surprising that despite the lies of Benny Hinn Preachers like Gary Skinner are saying;
"The atmosphere over the city of Kampala will be uniquely charged with the dynamic presence of Jesus when Benny Hinn visits Kampala in May of this year. Benny is being used in an awesome way all around the world to honour and lift up Jesus. Each of the miracle meetings will be soul stirring, life changing moments as thousands of Ugandans are healed, transformed, delivered and transformed forever. Kampala, get ready, God is going to do something extraordinary right here in our city." Pastor Gary Skinner.
Can Jesus be associated with a false prophet, come on Gary you should know better!!!!

My letter could not be published, WHY??????
Below is an article I sent to many newspapers in Uganda, it could not be published, because of the prosperity beast that has infiltrated the Ugandan church. Who can wage war against the beast!!. ONLY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. ENJOY MY LETTER.
Pastor Kayanja and Pastor Benny have the same prophetic antics
The spiritual politics of these two ‘men of God’ reveals amazing similarities. Let me begin with Pastor Benny; Hinn prophesied in December, 1989 that God would destroy the homosexual community in America in the mid1990s to be exact about 1994, 1995. Today the homosexual community in America has not only multiplied but is also alive and kicking. Hinn also prophesied in December, 1989, that Fidel Castro, would give up the Ghost(die) in the 1990s. Guess what! As of today Fidel is not only alive but also still enjoying his kisanjaless rule. To add insult to injury, Hinn, again prophesied in April, 2000, that Jesus would appear physically at Hinn’s Nairobi crusade. You Know What! the Lord Jesus Christ never showed up.
Time to check the similarity; Pastor Kayanja, Prophesied in January 2006, that one of the presidential candidates would give up the ghost and that the winner would score 61.8%. As of today, although some of the presidential candidates have been tear gassed on a number of occasions, they are all alive and charging. By the way, the winner got 59%. Pastor, Kayanja, again prophesied in January 2007, that 2007 would be a year of spiritual perfection. Perfection?? What about these spiritual imperfections so far: Strike of the Judges, Mabira bloody riots, political demonstrations and incarcerations, wife and husband encroachments, hail storm and caterpillar plagues, fake Jesus apparition in on an MTN mast, Kifalu squad and nasty of all ritual murders. There is no doubt that spiritual politicians have crawed in our religious midst with reverse prophesies just like the secular politicians.

In the recently released annual financial statements for 2006, Watoto contributed Shs10.5b, up from Shs7.1b in 2005. Watoto tours annually all over the world; donations have increased by 48 percent. In 2006, their sponsorships were worth Shs3.1b and product sales Shs12m.
Unlike so many other churches, KPC has over the years maintained financial transparency with its congregation. Audited by the internationally renowned Deloitte & Touche, KPC presents annual accounts just like any other company with shareholding and this has created a sense of belonging from the congregation.
According to Uganda Revenue Authority's publicist Patrick Mukiibi, churches have public character, so they are exempted from paying taxes as per the Income tax Act. "Churches are registered as organisations with public character and unless they indulge in other profit making ventures then they are liable to paying taxes," says Mukiibi.
Branding experts
Most evangelical churches have entered the 'winners' bracket' by becoming brands with 'franchises'. Over the last decade, KPC has set up over eight celebration centres all over the country while Miracle Centre has over 1,000.
Branding experts that they are, the new church leaders are spreading their ideas through every available outlet. Christian music appeals to millions of youths, some of whom might never give church a second thought. Many of the pastors are also authors. Pastor Kayanja has for instance written books including the highly acclaimed Bringing the Presence of God Home, Power Beyond Words, One Thousand Fold Increase and Sorry Am Late.
In addition to books, churches also get extra proceeds from the sale of audiotapes, videotapes and DVDs. For KPC, Watoto sells a host of merchandise on its website and at the church's offices. A T-Shirt costs $15 (Shs30,000) while DVDs of their past performances are at $25 (Shs50,000).
"Evangelicals' eager embrace of corporate-style growth strategies is giving them a tremendous advantage in the battle for religious market share," says Roger Finke, a Pennsylvania State University sociology professor and co-author of a new book, The Churching of America, 1776-2005: Winners and Losers in Our Religious Economy.
Why popular?
Evangelicalism's theological flexibility gives it the freedom to adapt to contemporary culture. With no overarching authority like the Vatican, leaders don't need to wrestle with a bureaucratic hierarchy that dictates acceptable behavior. "If you have a vision for ministry, you just do it, which makes it far easier to respond to market demand," says Michael Lutwama who attends Omega Healing Centre.
People like the flamboyant Peter Sematimba, Robert Kayanja and Imelda Namutebi, who preach "the prosperity gospel" have become popular in many circles. They endorse material wealth and tell followers that God wants them to be prosperous. Sematimba believes that the people of God are now learning that prosperity belongs to them.
"The more the people of God understand the word of God concerning prosperity, the more they get to embrace this truth. Prosperity belongs to them." Sematimba says.
God takes pleasure in the prosperity of his servants; most pastors drive top-of-the-range vehicles and some live in what has been dubbed "The Pastors Village" in Bunga, Kawuku.
Pastor Skinner drives a Grand Jeep Cherokee, Pastor Namutebi a Hummer, Pastor Isaac Kyobe Kiwewesi of Kansanga a BMW and Prado while Pastor Kayanja will soon own a Gulfstream and perhaps become one of the very few Ugandans who can afford one.
Internationally, renowned evangelist Pastor Creflo A. Dollar who will be coming here next month (June) owns two Rolls Royces and travels in a private Gulfstream 3 jet.
Benny Hinn who will be in the country this weekend is said to receive a salary of $116,000 plus a housing allowance from his church, and "much more" in book royalties. He drives an American-made Lincoln.
Joyce Meyer of the Joyce Meyer Ministries currently receives $250,000 in taxable income and the ministry still provides the Meyers with free use of the home, the cars, the plane and an $80,000 annual retirement contribution. She also receives a portion of the $3m a year in royalties earned from books and tapes sold at bookstores. Meyer provided more in royalties to the ministry over the past years than she and her husband had received in salaries and benefits. Meyer has 70 books in print, including one on the New York Times bestseller list.
So organised are these churches that they even have an umbrella body headed by Apostle Alex Mitala. The chairman of the National Fellowship of Born Again churches reveals that, "So far we have a membership of over 1,000 churches though some of them are not fully registered with us." He says that starting up a church requires one to register it as a Non Governmental Organisation with the registry of companies and ministry of internal affairs.
Gushers of cash?
Many churches have grown in terms of the congregation, not only in Uganda but also elsewhere. All this growth, plus the tithing many evangelicals encourage, is generating gushers of cash. In Uganda, the mega churches typically have not fewer than 500 members and an annual budget of around $100,000.
The average mega church pulls in $2m a year and this money is used to run its projects. For the smaller churches on the fringes of the city with three services, about Shs200,000 can be collected in a day.
Mega church business ventures sometimes grow beyond the bounds of the church itself. KPC, early this year bought 104.1 Power FM and also expanded the Watoto Children's homes that have given hope to the orphaned.
Rubaga Miracle Centre's Never Again project, set up in September 2001, has helped close to 300 children, as has the one in Kapeka, Luwero. In these homes, children are housed, fed, clothed, taken care of and educated. With all due diligence, evangelical churches haven't only won over a great number of flock but have also put themselves in a position that has helped their leaders prosper.
Influential Pastors in Kampala
Pastor Isaac Kyobe Kiwewesi is the senior pastor of Kansanga Miracle Centre which he started in 1992 from humble beginnings.
Pst. Gary Skinner is the senior pastor of Kampala Pentecostal Church. The Canadian-born pastor has been able to transform the English-speaking cell-based church located along Kampala Road into one of the most sought after churches in Kampala.
Pastor Robert Kayanja started ministry at the age of 22 and is the founder of the Highway of Holiness International Foundation (Kayanja Ministries) with offices in Texas, USA. He is known to minister with a unique anointing together with miracles, signs and wonders.
My Analysis
The Prosperity Beast system
The writer of this article is defending lies in ignorance. In Revelations chapter 13, the bible talks about two beasts; the first beast was wounded to death and its wound was healed(Rev.3); the second beast came up and exercised the power of the first beast and causeth them that dwell on the earth to worship the first beast(Rev.13:12). There is no doubt that the first beast was the Roman Catholic church(counterfeit Christianity) that was wounded by the reformation. But, what exactly is the second beast!!! The second beast represents counterfeit Christianity or counterfeit ‘Protestantism’. This counterfeit Christianity manifests its self in a variety of forms such: as Americanised Christianity, corporate Christianity, word faith Christianity, Westernised Christianity, Prosperity Gospel Christianity, dominionism Christianity to mention but a few. In Rev.13:4, the bible says that who can wage war against the beast and in Rev:13:13-14, the bible says that the second beast does great wonders and deceiveth the dwellers of the world by his miracles. Pentecostalism and charismatic Christianity despite its mega, corporate churches is part and parcel of the second beast.
If you asked most of the prosperity preachers about whether Catholics are going to heaven, they will tell you yes, many believe that the pope is a great spiritual leader, many are Catholics disguised. The lord Jesus Christ will expose them, wait, you will be shocked. I’m glad that the likes of Benny Hinn have come to Kampala. The Lord Jesus Christ has used this occasion to demonstrate how naïve, undiscerning the so called born agains in Uganda are. The Lord has exposed how deceived the so called prosperity pastors in Uganda are; MINDS ON FIRE FOR GOD HEARTS ON ICE;DECEIVING AND BEING DECEIVED, SPIRITUAL FORNICATORS, WHORES , Harlots . Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, the entirety of your word is truth, Lord(Psalms 119:60)
As evidenced by the monitor article above, the prosperity preachers in Uganda as part of the beast system, are using the media to deceive people, because the have the money. Many saints have been deceived that gain is goodliness. If you want the truth you have to look for it yourself with the guidance of the Holy Spirit of course . Only God is going to destroy the prosperity beast system, it is so powerful that even the print and electronic media succumbs it. Can you imagine, despite the lies of Benny Hinn, all the prosperity preachers in Uganda are quiet, because they are in bed with Mammon and not the Lord Jesus Christ. It is surprising that despite the lies of Benny Hinn Preachers like Gary Skinner are saying;
"The atmosphere over the city of Kampala will be uniquely charged with the dynamic presence of Jesus when Benny Hinn visits Kampala in May of this year. Benny is being used in an awesome way all around the world to honour and lift up Jesus. Each of the miracle meetings will be soul stirring, life changing moments as thousands of Ugandans are healed, transformed, delivered and transformed forever. Kampala, get ready, God is going to do something extraordinary right here in our city." Pastor Gary Skinner.
Can Jesus be associated with a false prophet, come on Gary you should know better!!!!

Below is an article I sent to many newspapers in Uganda, it could not be published, because of the prosperity beast that has infiltrated the Ugandan church. Who can wage war against the beast!!. ONLY THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. ENJOY MY LETTER.
Pastor Kayanja and Pastor Benny have the same prophetic antics
The spiritual politics of these two ‘men of God’ reveals amazing similarities. Let me begin with Pastor Benny; Hinn prophesied in December, 1989 that God would destroy the homosexual community in America in the mid1990s to be exact about 1994, 1995. Today the homosexual community in America has not only multiplied but is also alive and kicking. Hinn also prophesied in December, 1989, that Fidel Castro, would give up the Ghost(die) in the 1990s. Guess what! As of today Fidel is not only alive but also still enjoying his kisanjaless rule. To add insult to injury, Hinn, again prophesied in April, 2000, that Jesus would appear physically at Hinn’s Nairobi crusade. You Know What! the Lord Jesus Christ never showed up.
Time to check the similarity; Pastor Kayanja, Prophesied in January 2006, that one of the presidential candidates would give up the ghost and that the winner would score 61.8%. As of today, although some of the presidential candidates have been tear gassed on a number of occasions, they are all alive and charging. By the way, the winner got 59%. Pastor, Kayanja, again prophesied in January 2007, that 2007 would be a year of spiritual perfection. Perfection?? What about these spiritual imperfections so far: Strike of the Judges, Mabira bloody riots, political demonstrations and incarcerations, wife and husband encroachments, hail storm and caterpillar plagues, fake Jesus apparition in on an MTN mast, Kifalu squad and nasty of all ritual murders. There is no doubt that spiritual politicians have crawed in our religious midst with reverse prophesies just like the secular politicians.

Expect great miracles at Benny Hinn’s crusade – Kayanja
Wednesday, 16th May, 2007
http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/8/13/565538
By Joyce Namutebi and Flavia Nakagwa
GREAT miracles are expected to happen at Pastor Benny Hinn’s crusade at Mandela National Stadium, Namboole on Friday and Saturday.
The assurance was given by Lubaga Miracle Cathedral’s Pastor Robert Kayanja at a press conference at Light House Television yesterday.
Benny Hinn, a renowned international evangelist, is holding his first ever ‘Holy Spirit Miracle Crusade’ in Uganda. He is the senior pastor of World Healing Church International, Irving Texas in USA.
Entrance is free at the crusade that begins at 5:00pm on Friday and 4:00pm on Saturday. Gates open at noon on both days.
The First Lady, Mrs. Janet Museveni, is expected to attend.
A choir of 5,000 drawn from various churches will minister at the crusade, Kayanja said.
Giant screens will also be placed outside the stadium.
Kampala Extra acting regional traffic chief Lawrence Niwabiine said the Uganda Taxi Operators and Drivers’ Association had agreed to avail 100 taxis at the Constitutional Square and both taxi parks to transport people to Namboole.
Kayanja said besides economic gain people would be changed spiritually and that Uganda would be in the lime light during and long after Benny Hinn’s visit.
“Pr. Benny Hinn emphasises through his teachings of the Holy Bible, the Cross of Calvary on which Jesus died for our salvation and the healing of our diseases,” said former ethics and integrity minister Tim Lwanga on behalf of the crusade’s organising committee.
He said another entrance had been reserved for the sick and disabled at the southern gate of the stadium.
Niwabiine discouraged people going to Namboole from carrying a lot of money and other valuables that could tempt pick pockets.

'Prophetess' moves to block Pastor Kiweweesi Marriage
Woman Moves To Block Pastor's Marriage
MY ANALYSIS BELOW
http://www.redpepper.ug/3am.php?item=138
People in this world never cease to Amuse! A woman claiming to a be a prophetess prophesying God’s will has written to Pastor Isaac Kiweweesi of the Kasanga Miracle Centre calling him to abandon plans to marry Sash Babra in favour of another born again lady called Diana Muteesi, currently on Kyeyo in Canada.
Prophetess Maria Nagayi, as she calls her self, says in her May 9 letter to Kiweweesi that unless the Pastor marries Muteesi, he won’t have a peaceful and prosperous marriage.
She claims God appeared to her in a dream and gave her that message.
Our snoops tell us that as Kiweweesi was busy introducing her sweat heart to the flock during Lunch hour fellowship at Fido Dido on Thursday, Nagayi was also busy giving out copies of a letter she had handed in to Pastor Kiweweesi the previous day.
This isn’t the first time prophetess Nagayi is prophesying doom for big name pastors in the City. Previously, she had warned Pastor Robert Kayanja of trouble unless he dropped his wife Jesca and got married to her. Like in Kiweweesi’s will, she claimed she was speaking God’s will.
Omukazi yeesibye ku Musumba Kayanja: Mpasa
http://www.newvision.co.ug/D/58/60/415828/Robert%20Kayanja
My analysis
This ‘prophetess’ is indicative of the repercussions of the heretic prosperity gospel of antichrist preached by Pastors Kiweewesi and Robert Kayanja. Serve you right Pastor Kiweweesi. God’s judgments are upon you unless you repent. You have not empowered your sheep with the entirety of the word of God. ALL THEY HAVE RECEIVED FROM YOU IS ‘PROSPERITY IS COMING’ AND DOMINIONISM THEOLOGY(DO NOT GIVE UP UNTIL THE BATTLE IS OVER) .As such they are unable to discern a true from a false dream using the word of God. Like you they are deceiving and being deceived because of failure to rightly divide the word of truth(2 Timothy 2:15, 3:13).

Benny Hinn the catholic Necromancer
There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch, Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.(Deuteronomy 18:10-11)
"Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?" James 3:10-11
Hinn Deifys Man
God came from Heaven, became a man, made man into little Gods, went back to heaven as a man. He faces the father as a man. I face devils as the son of God…Quit you nonsense! What else are you ? If you say, I am, you’re saying I’m part of him, right? Is he God ? Are you his offspring ? Are you his children? You can’t be human! You can’t! You can’t! God didn’t give birth to flesh…You said, ‘’Well, that’s heresy.’’ No, that is your crazy brain saying that.

http://www.yesumulungi.com/Apologetics/Appologs14.htm
Benny Hinn Demotes Christ
And let me add this: Had the Holy not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. That’s right, it was the Holy Spirit that was the power that kept him pure. He was not only sent from heaven, but He was called the Son of Man-and as such He was capable of sinning…Without the Holy Ghost, Jesus would never have made it…Can you imagine Christ headed for the grave, knowing He would remain there forever, if the Holy Ghost would change His mind about raising him from the dead.
Hank Hanegraaff, Christianity in Crisis , Eugene and Oregon, Harvest House Publishers, 1997.p.139-140
Benny Hinn says Jesus was born again
My, you know, Whoosh! The Holy Ghost is just showing me some stuff. I’m getting dizzy! I’m telling you the truth-it’s, just heavy right now on me….He’s (referring to Jesus) in the underworld now. God isn’t there, and the bible says He was begotten. Do you know what the word begotten means? It means reborn. Do you want another shocker? Have you been begotten? So was He. Don’t let anyone deceive you. Jesus was reborn. You say, ‘’What are you talking about?’’…He was reborn. He had to be reborn…If He was not reborn, I could not be reborn. Jesus was born again. If He was not born reborn, I would never be reborn. How can I face Jesus and say, ‘’Jesus, you went through everything I’ve gone through, except the new birth?’’
Hank Hanegraaff, Christianity in Crisis , Eugene and Oregon, Harvest House Publishers, 1997.p.173
Praying at Kuhlman's grave
The secret to Hinn's power is his peculiar anointing, which he connects with Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church. He first felt the "full power of the Holy Spirit" on him at a Kuhlman healing service in 1973 -- and her mantle has presumably fallen upon Hinn. He conducts his meetings almost exactly like hers -- though it takes Hinn much longer to get his audience into the expectant mood that seems to generate psychosomatic "miracles. " In an April 7, 1991 sermon, Hinn revealed that he periodically visits Kuhiman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee's grave, where he says: "I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body." http://www.gospelgrace.com
Blowing people down with the "spirit"
The anointing or power plays a major role at Benny Hinn's "miracle services." He uses it to "slay in the spirit" as Kuhlman did 30 years ago. She has been imitated by charismatic evangelist/healers ever since. But Hinn has a new flare. Yes, like Kuhlman, he touches people on the forehead or neck to make them fall over. But he also blows or throws the "anointing" and "slays" people from a distance. As Mike Thomas reported in Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)
Winded catchers try to keep up with the toppling bodies. He rears back and with a pitching motion slays the entire choir with one toss. "That's power," yells Benny." "POWER!" ... Hinn takes off his custom tailored jacket and rubs it briskly on his body. He is rubbing the Power into the jacket. Then he starts swinging it wildly, like the biblical David swinging his sling. He decks his followers left and right. Bam! Bam! Bam! The stage vibrates with their landings. Then he throws it [the "anointed" jacket]. Another bam. As a catcher moves to pick up a woman, Hinn slays him ... then he slays the catcher who caught the catcher. When Benny Hinn is moved, nobody is safe from the Power ... [H]e blows loudly into the microphone ... Hundreds fall backward ... a woman collapses in the aisle and begins to babble. And then, suddenly, Benny is gone. The power vanishes from the room, and the people stare in stunned silence. http://www.gospelgrace.com
LOURDES AND FATIMA ENDORSED BY HINN
This aspect alone of Hinn's meetings is enough to condemn him. He capriciously throws the "Holy Spirit" around in most irreverent fashion, using the third Person of the Trinity as his servant to attract attention to himself Hinn acts as though the "anointing" is some metaphysical power at his disposal, to be rubbed off onto objects. It looks impressive, works largely by the power of suggestion, but has no purpose except to make people stand in awe of Hinn. "It's scary," says Bill James, a former church member. "The people are mesmerized. ...When he comes out, he's like God." http://www.gospelgrace.com
He told King and the viewing audience: “Look, God has given us, Larry, many sources of healing. Look at Lourdes. People have been healed going to Lourdes and Fatima. There was a pool, even in the Bible, the pool of Bethesda, where the angels stirred the water — people were also healed. So God has given us many avenues of healing. He wants us to be healed.” http://www.gospelgrace.com

"Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?" James 3:10-11
Hinn Deifys Man
God came from Heaven, became a man, made man into little Gods, went back to heaven as a man. He faces the father as a man. I face devils as the son of God…Quit you nonsense! What else are you ? If you say, I am, you’re saying I’m part of him, right? Is he God ? Are you his offspring ? Are you his children? You can’t be human! You can’t! You can’t! God didn’t give birth to flesh…You said, ‘’Well, that’s heresy.’’ No, that is your crazy brain saying that.

Benny Hinn Demotes Christ
And let me add this: Had the Holy not been with Jesus, He would have sinned. That’s right, it was the Holy Spirit that was the power that kept him pure. He was not only sent from heaven, but He was called the Son of Man-and as such He was capable of sinning…Without the Holy Ghost, Jesus would never have made it…Can you imagine Christ headed for the grave, knowing He would remain there forever, if the Holy Ghost would change His mind about raising him from the dead.
Hank Hanegraaff, Christianity in Crisis , Eugene and Oregon, Harvest House Publishers, 1997.p.139-140
Benny Hinn says Jesus was born again
My, you know, Whoosh! The Holy Ghost is just showing me some stuff. I’m getting dizzy! I’m telling you the truth-it’s, just heavy right now on me….He’s (referring to Jesus) in the underworld now. God isn’t there, and the bible says He was begotten. Do you know what the word begotten means? It means reborn. Do you want another shocker? Have you been begotten? So was He. Don’t let anyone deceive you. Jesus was reborn. You say, ‘’What are you talking about?’’…He was reborn. He had to be reborn…If He was not reborn, I could not be reborn. Jesus was born again. If He was not born reborn, I would never be reborn. How can I face Jesus and say, ‘’Jesus, you went through everything I’ve gone through, except the new birth?’’
Hank Hanegraaff, Christianity in Crisis , Eugene and Oregon, Harvest House Publishers, 1997.p.173
Praying at Kuhlman's grave
The secret to Hinn's power is his peculiar anointing, which he connects with Kathryn Kuhlman and Aimee McPherson, founder of the Foursquare Gospel Church. He first felt the "full power of the Holy Spirit" on him at a Kuhlman healing service in 1973 -- and her mantle has presumably fallen upon Hinn. He conducts his meetings almost exactly like hers -- though it takes Hinn much longer to get his audience into the expectant mood that seems to generate psychosomatic "miracles. " In an April 7, 1991 sermon, Hinn revealed that he periodically visits Kuhiman's grave and that he is one of the few with a key to gain access to it. He also visits Aimee's grave, where he says: "I felt a terrific anointing ... I was shaking all over ... trembling under the power of God ... 'Dear God,' I said, 'I feel the anointing.' ... I believe the anointing has lingered over Aimee's body." http://www.gospelgrace.com
Blowing people down with the "spirit"
The anointing or power plays a major role at Benny Hinn's "miracle services." He uses it to "slay in the spirit" as Kuhlman did 30 years ago. She has been imitated by charismatic evangelist/healers ever since. But Hinn has a new flare. Yes, like Kuhlman, he touches people on the forehead or neck to make them fall over. But he also blows or throws the "anointing" and "slays" people from a distance. As Mike Thomas reported in Florida Magazine, Nov. 24, 1991)
Winded catchers try to keep up with the toppling bodies. He rears back and with a pitching motion slays the entire choir with one toss. "That's power," yells Benny." "POWER!" ... Hinn takes off his custom tailored jacket and rubs it briskly on his body. He is rubbing the Power into the jacket. Then he starts swinging it wildly, like the biblical David swinging his sling. He decks his followers left and right. Bam! Bam! Bam! The stage vibrates with their landings. Then he throws it [the "anointed" jacket]. Another bam. As a catcher moves to pick up a woman, Hinn slays him ... then he slays the catcher who caught the catcher. When Benny Hinn is moved, nobody is safe from the Power ... [H]e blows loudly into the microphone ... Hundreds fall backward ... a woman collapses in the aisle and begins to babble. And then, suddenly, Benny is gone. The power vanishes from the room, and the people stare in stunned silence. http://www.gospelgrace.com
LOURDES AND FATIMA ENDORSED BY HINN
This aspect alone of Hinn's meetings is enough to condemn him. He capriciously throws the "Holy Spirit" around in most irreverent fashion, using the third Person of the Trinity as his servant to attract attention to himself Hinn acts as though the "anointing" is some metaphysical power at his disposal, to be rubbed off onto objects. It looks impressive, works largely by the power of suggestion, but has no purpose except to make people stand in awe of Hinn. "It's scary," says Bill James, a former church member. "The people are mesmerized. ...When he comes out, he's like God." http://www.gospelgrace.com
He told King and the viewing audience: “Look, God has given us, Larry, many sources of healing. Look at Lourdes. People have been healed going to Lourdes and Fatima. There was a pool, even in the Bible, the pool of Bethesda, where the angels stirred the water — people were also healed. So God has given us many avenues of healing. He wants us to be healed.” http://www.gospelgrace.com

"The atmosphere over the city of Kampala will be uniquely charged with the dynamic presence of Jesus when Benny Hinn visits Kampala in May of this year. Benny is being used in an awesome way all around the world to honour and lift up Jesus. Each of the miracle meetings will be soul stirring, life changing moments as
thousands of Ugandans are healed, transformed, delivered
and transformed forever. Kampala, get ready, God is going to do
something extraordinary right here in our city." Pastor Gary Skinner.
"Pastor Benny Hinn is one of the best choice servants of God that I highly treasure and esteem. I personally have been motivated by his ministry as early as 1990 when I first landed on his ministry materials. It impacted me so much that my entire perspective of the anointing was changed entirely and I was blessed to be his partner in the year 1997 where I had the opportunity to attend a partners meeting at the New York Hilton, it was phenomenal.
I could say countless testimonies about Pastor Benny but the most important thing is Uganda is desperate for a Benny Hinn Crusade! We are excited to hear he is coming. We are praying and fasting and are committed to do everything for the success of his ministry in Kampala. He is God’s battle axe and Uganda needs him!
Truly the season is now. God Bless you".

“Benny Hinn comes to us at very strategic time for our country. We are living in a day in which Uganda is harvestable. The spiritual climate is full of extravagant expectations and our people have never been so ready to reconcile with their maker as they are at this time. Days of dictatorships like Idi Amin and others gave an opportunity to spiritual darkness to devour this country and pushed it into a spiritual comma. Since that time pain, disease and demons have been rampant. But in this season we see the curve of revival almost at the peak. Benny Hinn’s crusade has never been so timely to bring a national healing and God’s wave of glory to fumigate this nation with life abundant. I’m so excited for Benny Hinn’s crusade in Uganda, and I highly endorse that.”
Darryl Woodson
“It is indeed a great joy and pleasure to know that Benny Hinn is coming to Uganda. We believe that after waiting for many years that is this the right time for Benny Hinn to come and minister to the people of this nation. We expect great response and are believing for many salvations and some of the greatest miracles of healing and power ever witnessed by Benny Hinn and his ministry team. We look forward for this great event.”

As a pastor and minister in Uganda, I cannot get over the joy of hearing that finally Pastor Benny Hinn is coming to Uganda. For many years we have watched him on Light House TV and we have longed for his personal visit to Uganda. The greatness of Pastor Benny's ministry to us is in the simple approach to the ministry of the Word, his emphasis on getting people to see Jesus in his crusades, that leads to thousands getting to a persona relationship with the Lord.
As a nation devastated by the AIDS scourge I anticipate that many many people will get physical healing also during this crusade. And finally we believe that his coming to Uganda will bring a prophetic message to the leaders of Uganda and the nation as a whole.
Welcome Pastor Benny Hinn.

Uganda is blessed in an unusual way at this time by the visitation of God through His anointed servants coming to bless our great country; first Dr. Morris Cerullo and now Pastor Benny Hinn all in the same year. This is no coincidence, because I believe it’s our time to receive the blessings and the anointing of God in order to change our land and to touch the nations with God’s power. The Scripture says:
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ISAIAH 10:27
Pastor Benny, I want you to know that this nation carries great prophecies over it as far evangelizing the world in these last days is concerned and I believe that your coming is a divine set-up the turn loose a great anointing over this nation that will in turn release many gifts that will be a great blessing to the body of Christ world-wide. We anticipate a mighty move of God with miracles, signs, wonders and most of all souls coming to the Lord.
So in a special way I want to thank you on behalf of my country for being sensitive to the Holy Ghost for allowing to come to Uganda at this time. I also want to thank all your partners in a special way for supporting this great ministry and enabling God’s servant to obey God and do His bidding. Only eternity knows the rewards that await you.
Uganda awaits you with great expectation.

"The atmosphere over the city of Kampala will be uniquely charged with the dynamic presence of Jesus when Benny Hinn visits Kampala in May of this year. Benny is being used in an awesome way all around the world to honour and lift up Jesus. Each of the miracle meetings will be soul stirring, life changing moments as
thousands of Ugandans are healed, transformed, delivered
and transformed forever. Kampala, get ready, God is going to do
something extraordinary right here in our city." Pastor Gary Skinner.
"Pastor Benny Hinn is one of the best choice servants of God that I highly treasure and esteem. I personally have been motivated by his ministry as early as 1990 when I first landed on his ministry materials. It impacted me so much that my entire perspective of the anointing was changed entirely and I was blessed to be his partner in the year 1997 where I had the opportunity to attend a partners meeting at the New York Hilton, it was phenomenal.
I could say countless testimonies about Pastor Benny but the most important thing is Uganda is desperate for a Benny Hinn Crusade! We are excited to hear he is coming. We are praying and fasting and are committed to do everything for the success of his ministry in Kampala. He is God’s battle axe and Uganda needs him!
Truly the season is now. God Bless you".

“Benny Hinn comes to us at very strategic time for our country. We are living in a day in which Uganda is harvestable. The spiritual climate is full of extravagant expectations and our people have never been so ready to reconcile with their maker as they are at this time. Days of dictatorships like Idi Amin and others gave an opportunity to spiritual darkness to devour this country and pushed it into a spiritual comma. Since that time pain, disease and demons have been rampant. But in this season we see the curve of revival almost at the peak. Benny Hinn’s crusade has never been so timely to bring a national healing and God’s wave of glory to fumigate this nation with life abundant. I’m so excited for Benny Hinn’s crusade in Uganda, and I highly endorse that.”
Darryl Woodson
“It is indeed a great joy and pleasure to know that Benny Hinn is coming to Uganda. We believe that after waiting for many years that is this the right time for Benny Hinn to come and minister to the people of this nation. We expect great response and are believing for many salvations and some of the greatest miracles of healing and power ever witnessed by Benny Hinn and his ministry team. We look forward for this great event.”

As a pastor and minister in Uganda, I cannot get over the joy of hearing that finally Pastor Benny Hinn is coming to Uganda. For many years we have watched him on Light House TV and we have longed for his personal visit to Uganda. The greatness of Pastor Benny's ministry to us is in the simple approach to the ministry of the Word, his emphasis on getting people to see Jesus in his crusades, that leads to thousands getting to a persona relationship with the Lord.
As a nation devastated by the AIDS scourge I anticipate that many many people will get physical healing also during this crusade. And finally we believe that his coming to Uganda will bring a prophetic message to the leaders of Uganda and the nation as a whole.
Welcome Pastor Benny Hinn.

Uganda is blessed in an unusual way at this time by the visitation of God through His anointed servants coming to bless our great country; first Dr. Morris Cerullo and now Pastor Benny Hinn all in the same year. This is no coincidence, because I believe it’s our time to receive the blessings and the anointing of God in order to change our land and to touch the nations with God’s power. The Scripture says:
And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. ISAIAH 10:27
Pastor Benny, I want you to know that this nation carries great prophecies over it as far evangelizing the world in these last days is concerned and I believe that your coming is a divine set-up the turn loose a great anointing over this nation that will in turn release many gifts that will be a great blessing to the body of Christ world-wide. We anticipate a mighty move of God with miracles, signs, wonders and most of all souls coming to the Lord.
So in a special way I want to thank you on behalf of my country for being sensitive to the Holy Ghost for allowing to come to Uganda at this time. I also want to thank all your partners in a special way for supporting this great ministry and enabling God’s servant to obey God and do His bidding. Only eternity knows the rewards that await you.
Uganda awaits you with great expectation.

Is Conjuring the Holy Spirit Scriptural?
Is Conjuring the Holy Spirit Scriptural?
Apparent in contemporary post-modern Christian denominations like Pentecostalism and charismatic Christianity is the heresy of conjuring the HOLY SPIRIT. The term conjure means:
1. to affect or influence by or as if by invocation or spell.
2. to effect, produce, bring, etc., by or as by magic: to conjure a miracle.
3. to call upon or command (a devil or spirit) by invocation or spell.
4. to call or bring into existence by or as if by magic (usually fol. by up): She seemed to have conjured up the person she was talking about.
5. to bring to mind; recall (usually fol. by up): to conjure up the past.
6. to appeal to solemnly or earnestly: I conjure you to hear my plea.
7. Obsolete. to charge solemnly.
8. to call upon or command a devil or spirit by invocation or spell.
9. to practice magic.
10. to practice legerdemain.
11. Obsolete. to conspire.
12. Chiefly Southern U.S. an act or instance of witchcraft or voodoo, esp. a spell.
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/conjuring
The above definitions categorically show the occult ramifications of spirit conjuring. Do you know that the songs we sing in order to ‘lure’ the holy spirit in our churches are doctrinally off. The Holy spirit has been convicting me about this heresy is apostate Christendom for quite some time. Don Muzat soundly argues that;
‘’There is disagreement and contention in the church today over the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit. What Charismatics claim is the reviving work of the Holy Spirit, other Christians define as deception. The advent of psychological techniques has prompted discussion over the nature and source of the "fruit of Spirit." The revival of ancient mysticism, and the growing popularity of new age methods has introduced "eastern spirituality" into the church…. You receive the Holy Spirit from Jesus Christ who comes to you through the Word of God. There are no human dispensers of the Holy Spirit or "Holy Ghost Bartenders." Those who claim such titles are guilty of arrogance and presumption…. Throughout Scripture, the Holy Spirit is connected to the Word of God. While the Holy Spirit is our only teacher and will lead us into all the truth, the Bible is his only textbook. … Since the Bible defines unbelievers as being dead in their trespasses and sin (Ephesians 2: 1,5; Colossians 2: 13), there is nothing they can do by way of human reason or strength to be saved. Spiritually dead people can not make spiritual decisions. It is the Holy Spirit, working through the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who brings the unbeliever to faith (Ephesians 2: 8-9). Theologically, this is called justification. In justification, the Holy Spirit acts upon the heart and will of the unbeliever externally. He operates through the Word of God that speaks to the human condition. After conversion, the Christian is enabled to cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification…. In sanctification, the work of the Holy Spirit is internal. While he still works through the vehicle of the Word of God that has been received into the heart, he sanctifies, leads, and guides the Christian via an internal operation, working upon the mind, the will and the emotions. There are many churches who have a rich and dynamic understanding of justification, but are very weak in teaching sanctification. While they are quick to point out that there is nothing one can do to be saved, they fail to teach Christians how to live and walk in the Spirit now that they have been saved. Sanctification often becomes nothing more than a list of moral directives or some vague notion concerning doing good works. A clear distinction must be made between the work of the Holy Spirit in justification and the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification lest we create passive Christians’’. Don Matzat, Issues, Etc.

In this article I demonstrate how the conjuring of demons in satanic worship is very similar to what is done in many Pentecostal and charismatic denominations. I will demonstrate this using some of the so called Holy Spirit songs. Remember that these so called holy spirit songs are often sung during the so called deliverance sessions. There is no doubt that we need the holy spirit especially in these last days of great deception however, if we do not watch we will surely be deceived. The holy spirit is HOLY, he is the spirit of truth that in dwelleth with in believers. Therefore he can not be conjured like a demon. The Lord Jesus Christ said;
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.(John14:16-17)

Therefore the ‘spirit’ that is conjured to fall on believers during Pentecostal and charismatic deliverance sessions is certainly not a spirit of truth but a spirit of error from the devil. It is not the holy spirit that falls on believers, rather it is the demons from the pit of hell that fall on these believers. Paul Howey reiterates that ;
I unwittingly used to write and sing unscriptural songs like “Holy Spirit Come” without realizing how doctrinally off I was. Jesus said that He would never leave us or forsake us and the Bible teaches that Christians already have the Holy Spirit. Further, the Bible also teaches that we are temples of the Holy Spirit and that God’s Spirit no longer dwells in temples made by the hands of man. Yet I was desperately trying to create a musical atmosphere by which I could unwittingly “conjure” up the Holy Spirit so He would “fall” and manifest himself in tangible reality in churches made by the hands of men. That was more like witchcraft than Christianity and I have since repented of my heresy. http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/3/13897.html?1134847087
Deliverances must be based on the word of God.
Many born again Christians believe that if the Holy Spirit does not sleigh you, you have not been delivered. Remember their understanding of deliverance is not deliverance from sin, but rather deliverance from curses, demons and more importantly poverty. The people who fall when the so called holy spirit sleighs them are often heard saying, we have been delivered. Some of the Christians that did not get a chance to be sleigh by the conjured ‘holy spirit’ are often seen following the Pastor in order to get ‘holy spirit’ touch. How come, whenever, these songs are sung, virtually, the same people continue to be sleigh in the spirit and I guess to be re-delivered. Born again Christians must be equipped with the word of God so that they are adequately empowered to test all their experiences in light of God’s holy word in this era of incredible deception.

In an article titled end time saints and the holy spirit Bro.Kato Mivule demonstrates very well the scriptural fact that we can not do without the holy spirit.
End Time Saints and The Holy Spirit
http://www.yesumulungi.com/Prophesy/Proph50.htm
He gives an example of the boldness of the apostles after receiving the Holy Spirit. However, we must note that the apostles never conjured the Holy Spirit to baptize them with fire. They simply waited upon the promise of the lord which was freely given to them. The conjuring of the spirit of God has virtually no scriptural basis. God freely gives his holy spirit to indwell saints as he promised.

Holy Spirit conjuring songs in Ugandan Pentecostalism
Song one
Luganda Version
Omwoyo wa Mukama Namala aka, Waberawo enjawulo wakati muffe
Katonda wa Eliya Namala aka, Waberawo enjawulo wakati muffe
Eyayawula enyanja namala aka, Waberawo enjawulo wakati muffe
English Translation
When the spirit of God comes down, There is a difference in our midst
When the God of Elijah comes down, There is a difference in out midst
When he who separated the red sea comes down, There is a difference in our midst.
Song two
Luganda Version
Omyoyo Omutukuvu ngaze , ngaze gyendi, Siyinza kusigala nga bwendi
Asumula byonna ebyansiba obwedda , Asangula amaziga gange eeeh
Ayugumya byonna ebyansiba obweda, Siyinnza Kusigala nga bwendi
Jangu Sebbo, Jangu Sebbo, Amazima Tukwetega
Jangu Mwoyo, Jangu Sebbo, Jangu Sebbo, Amazina tukwetaga.
English translation
When the holy spirit comes, I can not remain as I’m
He unties all the chains that have been holding me captive.
He wipes away my tears
He shakes everything that has been holding me captive.
I can not remain as I’m
Come Sir, Come Sir, The truth is we need you.
Come holy spirit , Come sir, Come sir, The truth is need you.
Note: As these songs are sung people begin to fall especially women(of course men as well) and one begins to hear all kinds of strange noises, wailings, and ecstatic movements. In some of the cases the pastor might say we welcome you Holy Spirit.
Let us now compare with songs the Satanists (abasamize) in Uganda sing to conjure the demons
Luganda version
Song one: This song is sung to conjure a demon called Mukasa(god of the lake)
Serubwatuka Mukasa wansi wali Enyanja, Serubwatuka wanuka wagulu eriyo omuliro
Serubwatuka Mukasa wansi wali omuddo, Serubwatuka wanuka wagulu eriyo omuliro
Serubwatuka Mukasa wansi wali emigga, Serubwatuka wanuka wagulu eriyo omuliro
English Translation
Mukasa he who thunders, there are lakes down here, He who thunders fall away from up where there is fire
Mukasa he who thunders, there is grass down here, He who thunders fall away from up where there is fire
Mukasa he who thunders, there are rivers down here, He who thunders fall away from up where there is fire
Song two
Lubale wewaffe, Golokoka okwate, Wankwata ndi Muto sigenda kwelabira
Mukasa owewaffe, Golokoka okwate, Wankwata ndi Muto sigenda kwelabira
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, emizimu, emikabwe
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, emizimu, emikabwe
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, mukube ku ngalo
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, munkubire engoma
English translation
Our demons arise and possess me, you possessed me while I was still young, I will never forget.
Our Mukasa, arise and possess me, you possessed me, while I was still young, I will never forget
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here, clap your hands
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here, drum for me.
Note: After the singing of these songs the demons possess people.They begin to make strange noises; Some laugh, other cry , others wail, others shout , others ecstatically move about just like in the Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches, when the so called holy spirit possesses the believers.
Music must be doctrinally sound
There is no doubt in many countries in Africa such as Uganda, gospel music is selling like hot cakes. However a close scrutiny of the songs on some of the albums reveals that a number of these songs are doctrinally off. Because gospel music is very poplar, even secular musicians have also started to sing ‘gospel’ music so as to tap the born again market. Foolishly, enough some Pentecostal churches and radio stations play these songs which contain a twist of scripture. How pathetic!!!
Saints, the junk from the world has crept into so called born again churches. But funny enough, the conjured ‘holy spirit’ continues to fall on people in our churches. How sick!
One popular musician sang a song that born again Christians like so much and which has been played in some churches and on some Pentecostal radio stations. It goes like this;
Yesu bwomwekwata, osaba, adamu essala zaffe,….abasiramu temufayo Allah ye waffe.
When you stick on Jesus, you pray, he answers our prayers,…do not mind Moslems our God is Allah.
In his letter to the New vision, Paul Mugeni(Kampala) reiterates that:
''SIR — I was shocked when i watched Bebe Cool, Phina ‘Masanyalaze’ and Sarah Zawedde ‘thrill’ God’s people with their music at Holy Fire Ministries Church in Namulanda. We as the Church of Christ need discernment and secularism should be banned in church. The church where the musicians were performing is called ‘Holy Fire’. how ironical! We need to pray for Pastor Muwanguzi for a change in his spirit and his flock too!''

ECUMENICAL DECEPTION UNFOLDS: FR. MUSAALA SINGS IN BORN AGAIN CHURCH
http://watchmanafrica.blogspot.com/2007/04/ecumenical-deception-unfoldsfrmusaala.html
Funny enough, despite this junk, the ‘holy spirit’ continues to come and to sleigh believers???The word of God warns us about loving the world, it cautions us about being equally yoked with unbelievers, it categorically warms us to test all things. We have stubbornly refused to separate from the junk of the word. Born again Christians are committing fornication with the world, the state and all the garbage in apostate Christendom. TIME TO BE DISCERNING.

Apparent in contemporary post-modern Christian denominations like Pentecostalism and charismatic Christianity is the heresy of conjuring the HOLY SPIRIT. The term conjure means:
1. to affect or influence by or as if by invocation or spell.
2. to effect, produce, bring, etc., by or as by magic: to conjure a miracle.
3. to call upon or command (a devil or spirit) by invocation or spell.
4. to call or bring into existence by or as if by magic (usually fol. by up): She seemed to have conjured up the person she was talking about.
5. to bring to mind; recall (usually fol. by up): to conjure up the past.
6. to appeal to solemnly or earnestly: I conjure you to hear my plea.
7. Obsolete. to charge solemnly.
8. to call upon or command a devil or spirit by invocation or spell.
9. to practice magic.
10. to practice legerdemain.
11. Obsolete. to conspire.
12. Chiefly Southern U.S. an act or instance of witchcraft or voodoo, esp. a spell.

The above definitions categorically show the occult ramifications of spirit conjuring. Do you know that the songs we sing in order to ‘lure’ the holy spirit in our churches are doctrinally off. The Holy spirit has been convicting me about this heresy is apostate Christendom for quite some time. Don Muzat soundly argues that;
‘’There is disagreement and contention in the church today over the subject of the work of the Holy Spirit. What Charismatics claim is the reviving work of the Holy Spirit, other Christians define as deception. The advent of psychological techniques has prompted discussion over the nature and source of the "fruit of Spirit." The revival of ancient mysticism, and the growing popularity of new age methods has introduced "eastern spirituality" into the church…. You receive the Holy Spirit from Jesus Christ who comes to you through the Word of God. There are no human dispensers of the Holy Spirit or "Holy Ghost Bartenders." Those who claim such titles are guilty of arrogance and presumption…. Throughout Scripture, the Holy Spirit is connected to the Word of God. While the Holy Spirit is our only teacher and will lead us into all the truth, the Bible is his only textbook. … Since the Bible defines unbelievers as being dead in their trespasses and sin (Ephesians 2: 1,5; Colossians 2: 13), there is nothing they can do by way of human reason or strength to be saved. Spiritually dead people can not make spiritual decisions. It is the Holy Spirit, working through the preaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who brings the unbeliever to faith (Ephesians 2: 8-9). Theologically, this is called justification. In justification, the Holy Spirit acts upon the heart and will of the unbeliever externally. He operates through the Word of God that speaks to the human condition. After conversion, the Christian is enabled to cooperate with the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification…. In sanctification, the work of the Holy Spirit is internal. While he still works through the vehicle of the Word of God that has been received into the heart, he sanctifies, leads, and guides the Christian via an internal operation, working upon the mind, the will and the emotions. There are many churches who have a rich and dynamic understanding of justification, but are very weak in teaching sanctification. While they are quick to point out that there is nothing one can do to be saved, they fail to teach Christians how to live and walk in the Spirit now that they have been saved. Sanctification often becomes nothing more than a list of moral directives or some vague notion concerning doing good works. A clear distinction must be made between the work of the Holy Spirit in justification and the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification lest we create passive Christians’’. Don Matzat, Issues, Etc.

In this article I demonstrate how the conjuring of demons in satanic worship is very similar to what is done in many Pentecostal and charismatic denominations. I will demonstrate this using some of the so called Holy Spirit songs. Remember that these so called holy spirit songs are often sung during the so called deliverance sessions. There is no doubt that we need the holy spirit especially in these last days of great deception however, if we do not watch we will surely be deceived. The holy spirit is HOLY, he is the spirit of truth that in dwelleth with in believers. Therefore he can not be conjured like a demon. The Lord Jesus Christ said;
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.(John14:16-17)

Therefore the ‘spirit’ that is conjured to fall on believers during Pentecostal and charismatic deliverance sessions is certainly not a spirit of truth but a spirit of error from the devil. It is not the holy spirit that falls on believers, rather it is the demons from the pit of hell that fall on these believers. Paul Howey reiterates that ;
I unwittingly used to write and sing unscriptural songs like “Holy Spirit Come” without realizing how doctrinally off I was. Jesus said that He would never leave us or forsake us and the Bible teaches that Christians already have the Holy Spirit. Further, the Bible also teaches that we are temples of the Holy Spirit and that God’s Spirit no longer dwells in temples made by the hands of man. Yet I was desperately trying to create a musical atmosphere by which I could unwittingly “conjure” up the Holy Spirit so He would “fall” and manifest himself in tangible reality in churches made by the hands of men. That was more like witchcraft than Christianity and I have since repented of my heresy. http://www.factnet.org/discus/messages/3/13897.html?1134847087
Deliverances must be based on the word of God.
Many born again Christians believe that if the Holy Spirit does not sleigh you, you have not been delivered. Remember their understanding of deliverance is not deliverance from sin, but rather deliverance from curses, demons and more importantly poverty. The people who fall when the so called holy spirit sleighs them are often heard saying, we have been delivered. Some of the Christians that did not get a chance to be sleigh by the conjured ‘holy spirit’ are often seen following the Pastor in order to get ‘holy spirit’ touch. How come, whenever, these songs are sung, virtually, the same people continue to be sleigh in the spirit and I guess to be re-delivered. Born again Christians must be equipped with the word of God so that they are adequately empowered to test all their experiences in light of God’s holy word in this era of incredible deception.

End Time Saints and The Holy Spirit
http://www.yesumulungi.com/Prophesy/Proph50.htm
He gives an example of the boldness of the apostles after receiving the Holy Spirit. However, we must note that the apostles never conjured the Holy Spirit to baptize them with fire. They simply waited upon the promise of the lord which was freely given to them. The conjuring of the spirit of God has virtually no scriptural basis. God freely gives his holy spirit to indwell saints as he promised.

Holy Spirit conjuring songs in Ugandan Pentecostalism
Song one
Luganda Version
Omwoyo wa Mukama Namala aka, Waberawo enjawulo wakati muffe
Katonda wa Eliya Namala aka, Waberawo enjawulo wakati muffe
Eyayawula enyanja namala aka, Waberawo enjawulo wakati muffe
English Translation
When the spirit of God comes down, There is a difference in our midst
When the God of Elijah comes down, There is a difference in out midst
When he who separated the red sea comes down, There is a difference in our midst.
Song two
Luganda Version
Omyoyo Omutukuvu ngaze , ngaze gyendi, Siyinza kusigala nga bwendi
Asumula byonna ebyansiba obwedda , Asangula amaziga gange eeeh
Ayugumya byonna ebyansiba obweda, Siyinnza Kusigala nga bwendi
Jangu Sebbo, Jangu Sebbo, Amazima Tukwetega
Jangu Mwoyo, Jangu Sebbo, Jangu Sebbo, Amazina tukwetaga.
English translation
When the holy spirit comes, I can not remain as I’m
He unties all the chains that have been holding me captive.
He wipes away my tears
He shakes everything that has been holding me captive.
I can not remain as I’m
Come Sir, Come Sir, The truth is we need you.
Come holy spirit , Come sir, Come sir, The truth is need you.
Note: As these songs are sung people begin to fall especially women(of course men as well) and one begins to hear all kinds of strange noises, wailings, and ecstatic movements. In some of the cases the pastor might say we welcome you Holy Spirit.
Let us now compare with songs the Satanists (abasamize) in Uganda sing to conjure the demons
Luganda version
Song one: This song is sung to conjure a demon called Mukasa(god of the lake)
Serubwatuka Mukasa wansi wali Enyanja, Serubwatuka wanuka wagulu eriyo omuliro
Serubwatuka Mukasa wansi wali omuddo, Serubwatuka wanuka wagulu eriyo omuliro
Serubwatuka Mukasa wansi wali emigga, Serubwatuka wanuka wagulu eriyo omuliro
English Translation
Mukasa he who thunders, there are lakes down here, He who thunders fall away from up where there is fire
Mukasa he who thunders, there is grass down here, He who thunders fall away from up where there is fire
Mukasa he who thunders, there are rivers down here, He who thunders fall away from up where there is fire
Song two
Lubale wewaffe, Golokoka okwate, Wankwata ndi Muto sigenda kwelabira
Mukasa owewaffe, Golokoka okwate, Wankwata ndi Muto sigenda kwelabira
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, emizimu, emikabwe
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, emizimu, emikabwe
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, mukube ku ngalo
Muno mulimu ejedalu, muno mulimu ejedalu, dalu, munkubire engoma
English translation
Our demons arise and possess me, you possessed me while I was still young, I will never forget.
Our Mukasa, arise and possess me, you possessed me, while I was still young, I will never forget
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here, clap your hands
We have mad ghosts here, we have mad ghosts here, drum for me.
Note: After the singing of these songs the demons possess people.They begin to make strange noises; Some laugh, other cry , others wail, others shout , others ecstatically move about just like in the Pentecostal and Charismatic Churches, when the so called holy spirit possesses the believers.
Music must be doctrinally sound
There is no doubt in many countries in Africa such as Uganda, gospel music is selling like hot cakes. However a close scrutiny of the songs on some of the albums reveals that a number of these songs are doctrinally off. Because gospel music is very poplar, even secular musicians have also started to sing ‘gospel’ music so as to tap the born again market. Foolishly, enough some Pentecostal churches and radio stations play these songs which contain a twist of scripture. How pathetic!!!
Saints, the junk from the world has crept into so called born again churches. But funny enough, the conjured ‘holy spirit’ continues to fall on people in our churches. How sick!
One popular musician sang a song that born again Christians like so much and which has been played in some churches and on some Pentecostal radio stations. It goes like this;
Yesu bwomwekwata, osaba, adamu essala zaffe,….abasiramu temufayo Allah ye waffe.
When you stick on Jesus, you pray, he answers our prayers,…do not mind Moslems our God is Allah.
In his letter to the New vision, Paul Mugeni(Kampala) reiterates that:
''SIR — I was shocked when i watched Bebe Cool, Phina ‘Masanyalaze’ and Sarah Zawedde ‘thrill’ God’s people with their music at Holy Fire Ministries Church in Namulanda. We as the Church of Christ need discernment and secularism should be banned in church. The church where the musicians were performing is called ‘Holy Fire’. how ironical! We need to pray for Pastor Muwanguzi for a change in his spirit and his flock too!''

ECUMENICAL DECEPTION UNFOLDS: FR. MUSAALA SINGS IN BORN AGAIN CHURCH
http://watchmanafrica.blogspot.com/2007/04/ecumenical-deception-unfoldsfrmusaala.html
Funny enough, despite this junk, the ‘holy spirit’ continues to come and to sleigh believers???The word of God warns us about loving the world, it cautions us about being equally yoked with unbelievers, it categorically warms us to test all things. We have stubbornly refused to separate from the junk of the word. Born again Christians are committing fornication with the world, the state and all the garbage in apostate Christendom. TIME TO BE DISCERNING.

Another modern representation of the Christ is that of a substitutionary Saviour, -- not in the sense of atonement merely, but in the way of obedience. This Christ is held up as embodying in Himself the sum and substance of the sinner's salvation, needing only to be believed in, that is, accepted by the mind as the atoning Sacrifice, and trusted in as securing for the sinner all the benefits involved in His death, without respect to any inwrought change in the sinner himself. This Christ is held up as a justification and protection in sin, not as a deliverer from sin. Men and women are assured that no harm can overtake them if they believe in this Christ, whatever may be the state of their hearts, or however they may, in their actions, outrage the laws of righteousness and truth. In other words, men are taught that Christ obeyed the law for them, not only as necessary to the efficacy of His atonement for their justification, but that He has placed His obedience in the stead of, or as a substitution for, the sinner's own obedience or sanctification, which in effect is like saying, Though you may be untrue, Christ is your truth; though you may be unclean, Christ is your chastity; though you may be dishonest, Christ is your honesty; though you may be insincere, Christ is your sincerity. http://standingthegap.org/Popular%20Christianity.htm
Harsh? What's worse, to standby while the likes of Charles Stanley, Chuck Swindoll, & John Macarthur tell people they can live in open sin, deny God and even commit suicide and still be assured of heaven because they had a past moment of faith? You tell me. The hearts of people have become rock hard sitting under this type preaching mainly because it has gone unopposed for so long that 'millions' believe it to be the truth! Like any form of well conceived propaganda, after long exposure to the outright lies and half truths, the human mind becomes numb to fact. Do you really think Satan and his minions are playing games here? The battle for human souls is intense, brutal with no holds bared! Why do you suppose Paul warned us so many times to be prepared? (Eph6:12-18, 2Cor10:1-6) He recognized the profoundness of this warfare and NEVER ceased to WARN the Righteous & the Wicked that sin would led them into spiritual ruin, (Acts20:26-33, Gal6:7-10, Rom8:13, Eph5:5, 1Thess4:7-8) and send their souls into hell fire. http://standingthegap.org/dead_men.htm

Watch Out! You Could Lose Your Salvation
By Kato Mivule
July 6th, 2008
http://www.yesumulungi.com/Commentary/Comment86.htm
We truly live in the last days and there is great deception in almost all corners on the face of this earth. To state it candidly, we live in days of deception and lies. Our society and generation seems to move and dwell in lies and deception. Lies and deception is what our adulterous society uses to make things going.
From Pastor to Politician to Prophet to President, all tell lies and run organizations by lies and deception. Organized and Institutionalized lies and deception is the order of the day and way of controlling the masses. The Church has not been immune to deception. As a matter of fact Jesus Christ strongly warned us that there would be deception so great in the Last days just before He returned that if possible, the elect would be deceived.
So, my simple advice in such times we live is that question whatever you see and hear. Ask the why questions… Ask yourself why the News Media is reporting a certain story… Why are they showing and replaying certain images…etc? Don’t simply follow the crowd. Do your own research, find out why…
To the saints, read the Bible on your own and test whatever that preacher and PhD Pastor teach on the pulpit… You will be amazed and flabbergasted at how deception is being sold and lies are being preached on the pulpit instead of truth. Truth has been cast aside in this adulterous generation. Truth has been cast aside from the pulpit by the celebrated preachers of today…
The Once Saved Always Saved Lie…
One of the greatest lie and deception out there in the Church today is that once you are saved you are always saved and regardless of what you do or how you walk, you have your salvation secured and nothing will take that away from you.
This deception is so bad that many Christians have embraced the world while sitting on their pews on Sunday services. All sins spoken about in Romans chapter one are currently in the Church and practiced by those who call themselves Christians. Their preachers tell them that their Salvation is secured regardless.
Yet when we go to the New Testament, the warnings are clear to Christians. The warnings would make any serious Christian tremble and search their hearts to forsake any kind of sin. The warnings in Hebrew Chapter 10 are so strong that the Preachers who teach the Once Saved Always Saved Doctrine tremble and dare not teach on such verses. If they do, they spin it around to make it suit their doctrinal views…
However, the New Testament is very clear that Christians can lose their salvation by their own doing, by their actions, if they sin willfully after they have received the knowledge of Truth…
Some clever PhD preachers in the West have tried to put a spin on Hebrews 10 by stating that it refers to the None Christians. However, the Writer of Hebrews clearly writes by including himself in the warning by stating…“if we sin willfully…” This clearly shows us that he included himself to be a recipient of the Warning against apostasy and falling away by Sin…
The Bible is clear that if we willfully sin after we have received the knowledge of truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sin. There are a number of scriptures we can look at in the New Testament on this subject. However, I will point out a few beginning with Hebrews chapter 10… These scriptures are self explanatory and don’t need a PhD in Theology to explain them…
Sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of Truth…
Hebrews 10:26-31
(26) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
(28) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
(29) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
(30) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
(31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Now of course, many will say that well, this is perfectionism and no one lives that way. However, the Bible says we are to be perfect just as our Heavenly Father is perfect. Our perfection comes by the Grace of God and Sanctification by the Holy Spirit through God’s Holy Word and the work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
However, you notice in Hebrews 10:26, he says that those that sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of truth… This same group goes ahead to trodden under foot the Son of God… And Count the Blood of Covenant as an unholy thing… And Despise the Spirit of Grace…
Sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of Truth…
Trodden under foot The Son of God…
Count the Blood of Jesus Christ as unholy…
Despise The Spirit of Grace…
Clearly the writer of Hebrews is speaking about Christians who fall away! There is no way he could be referring to the unsaved… Though it could be argued that he also referred to those who have fully received the message of salvation but rejected Jesus Christ as personal Savior… However, we should keep the context here that the writer of Hebrews included himself as a recipient of this warning.
Today, because of the false teaching of Once Saved Always Saved, many Christians willfully sin and live a life of sin, thinking that they secured their ticket to Heaven after they “accepted Jesus in their hearts”… There is no fear of God at all but a comfort in sinning and walking in ungodliness…
Many Christians continuously Trodden under foot The Son of God by rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ and embracing lies… You cannot separate Jesus Christ from His Teachings. However, today many Christians with the help of their pastors and preachers try to separate Jesus Christ from His teachings. Jesus Christ was very clear in John 14, 15, and 16 that if you truly love Him, then you will keep His sayings… So, one way to trodden under foot The Son of God is to reject His Teachings and count them as none absolute.
Many Christians continue their way of apostasy by despising The Blood of Jesus Christ. They despise what Jesus Christ did on the Cross for them and despise The New Covenant. Remember the writer of Hebrews in the previous chapters from chapter 1 to 9, warned the Christian Jews about depending on The Mosaic Law for Salvation…
Today we have preachers and Pastors who preach the Law of Moses in their churches as a means of people obtaining the blessings and deliverances of The Lord. One common teaching in this area is that Christians obtain blessings from Jesus Christ only if they Tithe! Many Pastors in the Prosperity Movement call themselves modern day “Levites” and that all church members are to send tithes and offerings to sustain them. Those who fail to do so risk being cursed and suffer poverty. The Church has been held by such a lie for a very long time…
However, despising The Blood of Jesus Christ continues in many subtle and overt ways by preachers in the Word Faith Movement who teach that Jesus Christ’s shedding of The Blood on the Cross was not sufficient to save us…
These preachers include Kenneth Copeland, Marilyn Hickey, Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar, Paul Crouch and most of the TBN TV family… They teach that for you to totally be saved and delivered, you have to go an extra mile by mostly giving a sacrifice of money…
It is amazing that such teachings continue to be aired on TBN yet Christians continue to buy into them. Recently John Hagee came out with a book stating that Jesus Christ did not come as Messiah to the Jews…
Brethren, lets watch out…many deceivers have gone out into the world who don’t believe that Jesus Christ is the True Messiah…they are wolves in sheep’s clothing…they might confess the Name of The Lord and call Him Lord, Lord but will deny His Teachings, and His Word. These are they that are very good at casting out demons in His Name, doing wonders and miracles in His Name, yet The Lord will say to them in that day “depart from me you workers of iniquity”.
Cast not away your Confidence and Trust in Jesus Christ…
Hebrews 10:32-36
(32) But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
(33) Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
(34) For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
The Hebrew saints had received the word of God in much affliction and tribulation just like other saints in the early church, yet the writer of Hebrews tells the saints not to cast away their confidence or assurance in The Lord.
The implication here is that one can throw away their assurance in The Lord; otherwise the writer of Hebrews would not have warned the saints about not doing so. Today many Christians are throwing away their assurance and confidence in Jesus Christ largely because of false doctrines created by men who have long departed from the Teachings and sayings of Jesus Christ.
The Bible commands us to examine ourselves to see if we still stand in the Faith. Don’t be deceived by deceiving preachers who tell you that once saved you are always saved no matter what you do…
2 Corinthians 13:5
(5) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Examine your faith in Christ Jesus. Do you still keep the sayings, teachings and doctrine of Jesus Christ? Have you cast your assurance and confidence in Jesus Christ away?
The Lord is not pleased with those who turn back…
Hebrews 10:37-39
(37) For yet, a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
(38) Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
(39) But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
It is more clear in Hebrews 10 is written to Christians and those who know The Lord as a warning against backsliding and turning away from Jesus Christ and His Teachings. The writer of Hebrews uses very strong language here by warning the saints against turning back from The Lord and that The Lord is not pleased with such who turn back to perdition…
The implication is that there are those who forsake the way of truth and turn to back perdition… Perdition has to do with getting lost for ever, death, damnation, and hell. So, as Christians we should always examine our faith in light of God’s Holy Word and sayings of Jesus Christ.
Today many preachers and pastors are concerned about money, large numbers of people, riches, status, positive image, and large church buildings… They see Jesus Christ as some miracle machine through which they can attain all they want in this world, yet they despise what Jesus Christ has to say through His teachings.
Let us lay aside every sin…fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ…
Hebrews 12:1-2
(1) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
(2) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The writer of Hebrews cautions us to fix our eyes on Jesus Christ and lay aside every sin and weight that can so easily derail us. The implication here of course is personal responsibility insofar as one’s relationship with Jesus Christ is concerned. Sin and weight that comes with the love of the things of this world can derail you from Jesus Christ. The writer of Hebrews continues to caution us that we should look to Jesus Christ, the author and finisher our faith…
Don’t be like Esau…The Esau Christian Generation…
Hebrews 12:14-17
(14) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
(15) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
(16) Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
(17) For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
The writer of Hebrews continues with the warning that we should not be like Esau who sold his birth right for one morsel of meat. He found no place for repentance. The implication is very clear here. The writer is speaking to Hebrew Christian Converts that they should not forsake Salvation in Jesus Christ by following the Mosaic Law for salvation.
Many Christians have sold their attained place in Christ Jesus just for the things of this world. It is what I call the Esau Generation. They will go at length to sell their souls to attain affluence in this world.
However, Esau found no place for repentance…this is a very serious warning, sin, love of this world , and false doctrines can lead you to hell, and you can lose your salvation that way. Hebrews Chapter 10 totally contradicts the Once Saved Always Saved Teachings. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling before The Lord.
We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…
2 Corinthians 5:8-11
(8) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
(9) Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
(10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
(11) Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
There are Christians who teach erroneously that Christians will not appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ but yet scriptures in the Bible seem to contradict their beliefs. The truth of the matter is Christians will appear before the Judgment seat of Christ as the writer of Hebrews has clearly stated in the verse above. You will have to give an account before Christ for your actions.
The writer of Hebrews was a Christian and included himself among those who must appear before the Judgment seat of Christ. And give account for their life in this flesh. There is no free pass.
Many Christians do whatever they want to do in the flesh by claiming they are saved once and for all. This is a lie from Satan. The writer of Hebrews continues by telling us that “knowing therefore the terror of The Lord…” In other words we must fear God!
There is no longer the fear of The Lord among many Christians and Churches, especially in the West. This however, is due to false teachings like the Once Saved Always Saved doctrines that are very prominent in the Western Church today…
Oh Christian, Repent and be Reconciled Back To God!
2 Corinthians 5:19-21
(19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
(20) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
(21) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
Many preachers and pastors always use the above verse to speak to none Christians in evangelism drives. However, the writer of Hebrews wrote to Christians and was addressing Christians who at some point seemed to have turned away from the Teachings and Doctrines of Jesus Christ.
The writer of Hebrews warns these Christians and now admonishes them to be reconciled to God. The scripture, yes, can be used in an evangelism outreach sense in that sinners should be reconciled with God through Jesus Christ.
However, in the book of Hebrews context, it was addressed to Christians who seemed to have backslide. Therefore, it is very relevant to today’s church…and I make the call out there that oh you Christian, repent and be reconciled back to God.
The Lord is loving, merciful, and forgiving that even those of His children who fall aside and backslide still have a chance to be reconciled back to God through Jesus Christ. Use that Grace while it is still available and be reconciled with The Lord.
Receive not the Grace of God in Vain…
2 Corinthians 6:1-2
(1) We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
(2) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)
Paul the apostle warns Christians at Corinth no to receive the grace of God in vain. What many preachers and pastors are teaching and preaching today that Once Saved Always Saved is false and receiving the grace of God in Vain. These are they that offend the Spirit of Grace.
Such individuals think that they can continue to teach falsely, sin, love the world, and deny the teachings and saying of Jesus Christ while continue being “saved”. They trend underfoot the blood of Jesus Christ and reject Jesus Christ as Lord over their lives. They preach a false salvation, a “cheap grace”, and a false assurance.
Brethren, walking in sin, holding to false teachings, false doctrine, love of the world, lust of the eyes, and pride of life, all is part of receiving the grace of God in Vain. Just because we are saved by grace does not mean abusing this grace given to us. Liberty in Christ Jesus is not a license to sin, walk in false doctrines, and despise the authority of Jesus Christ in His Words.
You are restricted by your own bowels – desires…
2 Corinthians 6:11-13
(11) O ye Corinthians, our mouth is open unto you, our heart is enlarged.
(12) Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
(13) Now for a recompense in the same, I (speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
Paul writes to the Corinthians and admonishes them that they are restricted by their desires and was reason for their short comings. They entertained sin and were getting equally yoked with none Christians and the world.
Some Christians have been deceived by preachers who tell them that they have all they want and desire on this planet. They preach messages that make Christians lust after things in the world and focus their desires on the riches and things of the world rather than Christ Jesus and His Word.
So, it is time that we re-examine our selves to see if we still stand in the faith. Does The Lord govern your desires or have you been deceived by preachers that Lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, and pride of this life is OK as long as you do it for God?
Come out from among them and be separate…
2 Corinthians 6:14-18
(14) Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?
(15) And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
(16) And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
There is no doubt that the world has come into many Churches and consumed them. Many sermons and teachings today in many churches are about how to make it big in this world, how to live a successful and affluent life and how to be the best that you can be. Secular Humanism is what is being preached on pulpits in the Church.
Christians are being unequally yoked together with none believers. They are receiving doctrines of devils and demons as they seek to fellowship with the world. Brethren, this is spiritual fornication.
Separate from such so-called Christians and seek out those who truly love Jesus Christ and His Teachings as we have them in the New Testament. Seek out those Christians who will challenge you to a life of holiness before The Lord and will hold you accountable to God’s Word and fellowship with such.
The Church of Jesus Christ is NOT a building but the Body of Believers in Jesus Christ. I repeat the warning, don’t be deceived, watch out; you could lose your salvation!
May The Lord Grant you Grace and Mercy...
In Christ Jesus

Another modern representation of the Christ is that of a substitutionary Saviour, -- not in the sense of atonement merely, but in the way of obedience. This Christ is held up as embodying in Himself the sum and substance of the sinner's salvation, needing only to be believed in, that is, accepted by the mind as the atoning Sacrifice, and trusted in as securing for the sinner all the benefits involved in His death, without respect to any inwrought change in the sinner himself. This Christ is held up as a justification and protection in sin, not as a deliverer from sin. Men and women are assured that no harm can overtake them if they believe in this Christ, whatever may be the state of their hearts, or however they may, in their actions, outrage the laws of righteousness and truth. In other words, men are taught that Christ obeyed the law for them, not only as necessary to the efficacy of His atonement for their justification, but that He has placed His obedience in the stead of, or as a substitution for, the sinner's own obedience or sanctification, which in effect is like saying, Though you may be untrue, Christ is your truth; though you may be unclean, Christ is your chastity; though you may be dishonest, Christ is your honesty; though you may be insincere, Christ is your sincerity. http://standingthegap.org/Popular%20Christianity.htm
Harsh? What's worse, to standby while the likes of Charles Stanley, Chuck Swindoll, & John Macarthur tell people they can live in open sin, deny God and even commit suicide and still be assured of heaven because they had a past moment of faith? You tell me. The hearts of people have become rock hard sitting under this type preaching mainly because it has gone unopposed for so long that 'millions' believe it to be the truth! Like any form of well conceived propaganda, after long exposure to the outright lies and half truths, the human mind becomes numb to fact. Do you really think Satan and his minions are playing games here? The battle for human souls is intense, brutal with no holds bared! Why do you suppose Paul warned us so many times to be prepared? (Eph6:12-18, 2Cor10:1-6) He recognized the profoundness of this warfare and NEVER ceased to WARN the Righteous & the Wicked that sin would led them into spiritual ruin, (Acts20:26-33, Gal6:7-10, Rom8:13, Eph5:5, 1Thess4:7-8) and send their souls into hell fire. http://standingthegap.org/dead_men.htm

Watch Out! You Could Lose Your Salvation
By Kato Mivule
July 6th, 2008
http://www.yesumulungi.com/Commentary/Comment86.htm
We truly live in the last days and there is great deception in almost all corners on the face of this earth. To state it candidly, we live in days of deception and lies. Our society and generation seems to move and dwell in lies and deception. Lies and deception is what our adulterous society uses to make things going.
From Pastor to Politician to Prophet to President, all tell lies and run organizations by lies and deception. Organized and Institutionalized lies and deception is the order of the day and way of controlling the masses. The Church has not been immune to deception. As a matter of fact Jesus Christ strongly warned us that there would be deception so great in the Last days just before He returned that if possible, the elect would be deceived.
So, my simple advice in such times we live is that question whatever you see and hear. Ask the why questions… Ask yourself why the News Media is reporting a certain story… Why are they showing and replaying certain images…etc? Don’t simply follow the crowd. Do your own research, find out why…
To the saints, read the Bible on your own and test whatever that preacher and PhD Pastor teach on the pulpit… You will be amazed and flabbergasted at how deception is being sold and lies are being preached on the pulpit instead of truth. Truth has been cast aside in this adulterous generation. Truth has been cast aside from the pulpit by the celebrated preachers of today…
The Once Saved Always Saved Lie…
One of the greatest lie and deception out there in the Church today is that once you are saved you are always saved and regardless of what you do or how you walk, you have your salvation secured and nothing will take that away from you.
This deception is so bad that many Christians have embraced the world while sitting on their pews on Sunday services. All sins spoken about in Romans chapter one are currently in the Church and practiced by those who call themselves Christians. Their preachers tell them that their Salvation is secured regardless.
Yet when we go to the New Testament, the warnings are clear to Christians. The warnings would make any serious Christian tremble and search their hearts to forsake any kind of sin. The warnings in Hebrew Chapter 10 are so strong that the Preachers who teach the Once Saved Always Saved Doctrine tremble and dare not teach on such verses. If they do, they spin it around to make it suit their doctrinal views…
However, the New Testament is very clear that Christians can lose their salvation by their own doing, by their actions, if they sin willfully after they have received the knowledge of Truth…
Some clever PhD preachers in the West have tried to put a spin on Hebrews 10 by stating that it refers to the None Christians. However, the Writer of Hebrews clearly writes by including himself in the warning by stating…“if we sin willfully…” This clearly shows us that he included himself to be a recipient of the Warning against apostasy and falling away by Sin…
The Bible is clear that if we willfully sin after we have received the knowledge of truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sin. There are a number of scriptures we can look at in the New Testament on this subject. However, I will point out a few beginning with Hebrews chapter 10… These scriptures are self explanatory and don’t need a PhD in Theology to explain them…
Sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of Truth…
Hebrews 10:26-31
(26) For if we sin willfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
(27) But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
(28) He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:
(29) Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
(30) For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people.
(31) It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.
Now of course, many will say that well, this is perfectionism and no one lives that way. However, the Bible says we are to be perfect just as our Heavenly Father is perfect. Our perfection comes by the Grace of God and Sanctification by the Holy Spirit through God’s Holy Word and the work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
However, you notice in Hebrews 10:26, he says that those that sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of truth… This same group goes ahead to trodden under foot the Son of God… And Count the Blood of Covenant as an unholy thing… And Despise the Spirit of Grace…
Sin willfully after receiving the knowledge of Truth…
Trodden under foot The Son of God…
Count the Blood of Jesus Christ as unholy…
Despise The Spirit of Grace…
Clearly the writer of Hebrews is speaking about Christians who fall away! There is no way he could be referring to the unsaved… Though it could be argued that he also referred to those who have fully received the message of salvation but rejected Jesus Christ as personal Savior… However, we should keep the context here that the writer of Hebrews included himself as a recipient of this warning.
Today, because of the false teaching of Once Saved Always Saved, many Christians willfully sin and live a life of sin, thinking that they secured their ticket to Heaven after they “accepted Jesus in their hearts”… There is no fear of God at all but a comfort in sinning and walking in ungodliness…
Many Christians continuously Trodden under foot The Son of God by rejecting the teachings of Jesus Christ and embracing lies… You cannot separate Jesus Christ from His Teachings. However, today many Christians with the help of their pastors and preachers try to separate Jesus Christ from His teachings. Jesus Christ was very clear in John 14, 15, and 16 that if you truly love Him, then you will keep His sayings… So, one way to trodden under foot The Son of God is to reject His Teachings and count them as none absolute.
Many Christians continue their way of apostasy by despising The Blood of Jesus Christ. They despise what Jesus Christ did on the Cross for them and despise The New Covenant. Remember the writer of Hebrews in the previous chapters from chapter 1 to 9, warned the Christian Jews about depending on The Mosaic Law for Salvation…
Today we have preachers and Pastors who preach the Law of Moses in their churches as a means of people obtaining the blessings and deliverances of The Lord. One common teaching in this area is that Christians obtain blessings from Jesus Christ only if they Tithe! Many Pastors in the Prosperity Movement call themselves modern day “Levites” and that all church members are to send tithes and offerings to sustain them. Those who fail to do so risk being cursed and suffer poverty. The Church has been held by such a lie for a very long time…
However, despising The Blood of Jesus Christ continues in many subtle and overt ways by preachers in the Word Faith Movement who teach that Jesus Christ’s shedding of The Blood on the Cross was not sufficient to save us…
These preachers include Kenneth Copeland, Marilyn Hickey, Jesse Duplantis, Creflo Dollar, Paul Crouch and most of the TBN TV family… They teach that for you to totally be saved and delivered, you have to go an extra mile by mostly giving a sacrifice of money…
It is amazing that such teachings continue to be aired on TBN yet Christians continue to buy into them. Recently John Hagee came out with a book stating that Jesus Christ did not come as Messiah to the Jews…
Brethren, lets watch out…many deceivers have gone out into the world who don’t believe that Jesus Christ is the True Messiah…they are wolves in sheep’s clothing…they might confess the Name of The Lord and call Him Lord, Lord but will deny His Teachings, and His Word. These are they that are very good at casting out demons in His Name, doing wonders and miracles in His Name, yet The Lord will say to them in that day “depart from me you workers of iniquity”.
Cast not away your Confidence and Trust in Jesus Christ…
Hebrews 10:32-36
(32) But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions;
(33) Partly, whilst ye were made a gazingstock both by reproaches and afflictions; and partly, whilst ye became companions of them that were so used.
(34) For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.
(35) Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward.
(36) For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
The Hebrew saints had received the word of God in much affliction and tribulation just like other saints in the early church, yet the writer of Hebrews tells the saints not to cast away their confidence or assurance in The Lord.
The implication here is that one can throw away their assurance in The Lord; otherwise the writer of Hebrews would not have warned the saints about not doing so. Today many Christians are throwing away their assurance and confidence in Jesus Christ largely because of false doctrines created by men who have long departed from the Teachings and sayings of Jesus Christ.
The Bible commands us to examine ourselves to see if we still stand in the Faith. Don’t be deceived by deceiving preachers who tell you that once saved you are always saved no matter what you do…
2 Corinthians 13:5
(5) Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Examine your faith in Christ Jesus. Do you still keep the sayings, teachings and doctrine of Jesus Christ? Have you cast your assurance and confidence in Jesus Christ away?
The Lord is not pleased with those who turn back…
Hebrews 10:37-39
(37) For yet, a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
(38) Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
(39) But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.
It is more clear in Hebrews 10 is written to Christians and those who know The Lord as a warning against backsliding and turning away from Jesus Christ and His Teachings. The writer of Hebrews uses very strong language here by warning the saints against turning back from The Lord and that The Lord is not pleased with such who turn back to perdition…
The implication is that there are those who forsake the way of truth and turn to back perdition… Perdition has to do with getting lost for ever, death, damnation, and hell. So, as Christians we should always examine our faith in light of God’s Holy Word and sayings of Jesus Christ.
Today many preachers and pastors are concerned about money, large numbers of people, riches, status, positive image, and large church buildings… They see Jesus Christ as some miracle machine through which they can attain all they want in this world, yet they despise what Jesus Christ has to say through His teachings.
Let us lay aside every sin…fixing our eyes on Jesus Christ…
Hebrews 12:1-2
(1) Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
(2) Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
The writer of Hebrews cautions us to fix our eyes on Jesus Christ and lay aside every sin and weight that can so easily derail us. The implication here of course is personal responsibility insofar as one’s relationship with Jesus Christ is concerned. Sin and weight that comes with the love of the things of this world can derail you from Jesus Christ. The writer of Hebrews continues to caution us that we should look to Jesus Christ, the author and finisher our faith…
Don’t be like Esau…The Esau Christian Generation…
Hebrews 12:14-17
(14) Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
(15) Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;
(16) Lest there be any fornicator, or profane person, as Esau, who for one morsel of meat sold his birthright.
(17) For ye know how that afterward, when he would have inherited the blessing, he was rejected: for he found no place of repentance, though he sought it carefully with tears.
The writer of Hebrews continues with the warning that we should not be like Esau who sold his birth right for one morsel of meat. He found no place for repentance. The implication is very clear here. The writer is speaking to Hebrew Christian Converts that they should not forsake Salvation in Jesus Christ by following the Mosaic Law for salvation.
Many Christians have sold their attained place in Christ Jesus just for the things of this world. It is what I call the Esau Generation. They will go at length to sell their souls to attain affluence in this world.
However, Esau found no place for repentance…this is a very serious warning, sin, love of this world , and false doctrines can lead you to hell, and you can lose your salvation that way. Hebrews Chapter 10 totally contradicts the Once Saved Always Saved Teachings. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling before The Lord.
We must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ…
2 Corinthians 5:8-11
(8) We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
(9) Wherefore we labor, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
(10) For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.
(11) Knowing therefore the terror of the Lord, we persuade men; but we are made manifest unto God; and I trust also are made manifest in your consciences.
There are Christians who teach erroneously that Christians will not appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ but yet scriptures in the Bible seem to contradict their beliefs. The truth of the matter is Christians will appear before the Judgment seat of Christ as the writer of Hebrews has clearly stated in the verse above. You will have to give an account before Christ for your actions.
The writer of Hebrews was a Christian and included himself among those who must appear before the Judgment seat of Christ. And give account for their life in this flesh. There is no free pass.

There is no longer the fear of The Lord among many Christians and Churches, especially in the West. This however, is due to false teachings like the Once Saved Always Saved doctrines that are very prominent in the Western Church today…
Oh Christian, Repent and be Reconciled Back To God!
2 Corinthians 5:19-21
(19) To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
(20) Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us; we pray you in Christ's stead, be ye reconciled to God.
(21) For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

(1) We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain.
(2) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succored thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

(12) Ye are not straitened in us, but ye are straitened in your own bowels.
(13) Now for a recompense in the same, I (speak as unto my children,) be ye also enlarged.
Paul writes to the Corinthians and admonishes them that they are restricted by their desires and was reason for their short comings. They entertained sin and were getting equally yoked with none Christians and the world.
Some Christians have been deceived by preachers who tell them that they have all they want and desire on this planet. They preach messages that make Christians lust after things in the world and focus their desires on the riches and things of the world rather than Christ Jesus and His Word.

(17) Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.
(18) And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
There is no doubt that the world has come into many Churches and consumed them. Many sermons and teachings today in many churches are about how to make it big in this world, how to live a successful and affluent life and how to be the best that you can be. Secular Humanism is what is being preached on pulpits in the Church.
Christians are being unequally yoked together with none believers. They are receiving doctrines of devils and demons as they seek to fellowship with the world. Brethren, this is spiritual fornication.
Separate from such so-called Christians and seek out those who truly love Jesus Christ and His Teachings as we have them in the New Testament. Seek out those Christians who will challenge you to a life of holiness before The Lord and will hold you accountable to God’s Word and fellowship with such.
The Church of Jesus Christ is NOT a building but the Body of Believers in Jesus Christ. I repeat the warning, don’t be deceived, watch out; you could lose your salvation!
May The Lord Grant you Grace and Mercy...
In Christ Jesus
