  “This is what the Lord of armies says: “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you. They are leading you into futility; They tell a vision of their own imagination, Not from the mouth of the Lord.”<br>‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭23‬:‭16‬ ‭NASB2020‬‬

  Matthew 24:24 &quot;For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.&quot;

  By the grace of God, I was pulled out of this movement. It completely distorts the Word. It&apos;s insane. I am genuinely grieved by my error and gullibility falling for this for even a minute. Mike is right on when he says we are prone to stray. God woke me up and pulled me out. I am so thankful for His mercy!

  After listening to Bethel teachings for 15 plus years, I am so thankful that at last I am free. Good for you, Pastor Mike

  My wife and I left the Bethel movement because of the New Age teaching I was hearing and its implications. When this book came out I read it. &nbsp;It was shocking to me and my wife, especially the authors I knew personally. I immediately took this book and other publications from Bethel and tossed them in the garbage. &nbsp;I also cancelled a Bethel seminar, in which I was a key note speaker.

  Thank you for this!!!! I was a psychic medium, and I “opened up my gifts” while trying to develop psychic abilities….while praying to Jesus. (Sooo much more to this story as you can imagine) The devil creeped in, in disguise and took over… I developed extremely accurate psychic abilities, I later had a “vision” (it was a very scary astral projection experience) that a false version of “Jesus” told me to help people with my “gifts” and not to be scared. It led me down a dark path that led a couple thousand people astray more. 💔 finally in June 2021 the Lord thankfully saved me and delivered me of my abilities in prayer when I realized the truth and begged him to take my “gifts” away. It was like in acts 18…a dark force left me I could see with my eyes and my abilities were gone forever. My point is…you CAN open yourself to demonic possession by messing with this stuff if you are not born again and do not have discernment!!!!! The new age is a black hole, if you dabble in it you will fall in…the only thing that can get you out is repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus.

  In December 2017 my Southern California town was in the path of what at the time was California&apos;s worst wildfire ever - the &quot;Thomas Fire&quot;. I prayed for God to intercede as a 50-foot wall of flames the length of our town quickly descended toward our home - and with it, our downtown area. My wife and I packed everything we could fit into our car, grabbed our kitten, and sat in the car watching our neighbors also prepare to evacuate. When the wall of flames reached two blocks from us, we drove toward the ocean - and safety. It was midnight. <br> <br>As we later learned, shortly after we evacuated, the winds suddenly changed direction, pushing the fire through the hills and fields - sparing our home and downtown. Could other Christians have commanded the winds and the fire? I don&apos;t know. It&apos;s possible - but that kind of individual power (or the belief in it) would likely give people the glory, rather than God. <br> <br>In my understanding, God heard our prayers, and supernaturally shifted the winds. In the natural, our home and our entire town was &quot;toast&quot;, so I credit God in His sovereignty for keeping losses to a minimum. Some of our Christian friends DID lose their homes and all their belongings - but the devastation could&apos;ve been so much worse. <br> <br>Do I credit God for the outcome? Absolutely. Do I understand why some homes were destroyed and not others? Not in a million years. That&apos;s where trusting in the Lord&apos;s ways comes into play. He is God - and we are not.

  As an Australian, I am really appreciating being introduced to the technical term &quot;Woo Woo Science&quot;

  The creepy part about imagination.... Literally in the Bible it says the battle is in your mind. The mind is the worst thing to rely on. Get the heart right and daily transform and renew your mind.

  Being from Norway, it so hard to find a Bible believing church. So hard in fact that I am so isolated and has been disconnected and isolated from the true church just because I will not compromise on the the word of God. It&apos;s so hard.......

  My son had cancer, we prayed, we anointed him with oil, had elders pray over him, did all the things our faith would have us do to call heaven down and heal our son. &nbsp;This did not happen. &nbsp;He went home June 2020. &nbsp;It makes me sad and angry when people suggest a &quot;lack of faith&quot; had to do with his passing. &nbsp;It was not God&apos;s will that he would be healed here on earth. &nbsp;This kind of teaching from Bill Johnson and others is damaging to the Christian faith. &nbsp;I hope and pray that people in this church and others following this unbiblical teaching would repent, additionally I would LOVE to speak with anyone who believes this ...forgive me...crap. &nbsp;Jesus is the goal, He alone has sovereignty and providence over what happens here on earth. &nbsp;I trust Him alone and I thank God one day He will make all things right. &nbsp;-- Keep going Mike

  I began my adult Christian walk in a church heavily influenced by bethel. Strange things began to happen that I knew just weren’t right. I began questioning things and was told by leaders that “we cannot question someone’s experience with the Holy Spirit” when I asked how we knew it was the Holy Spirit they really had no good answer . Something along the lines of “is God not big enough to capture you imagination “ so really nothing was allowed to be questioned because everything was considered to be the Holy Spirit and to question it would be wrong. I left that church and got back into being an alcoholic. Thankfully God restored me again , fully recovered me from 15 years of alcoholism and has brought my heart to a place of desiring his true word and his true works! I feel so grieved for my brothers that are still inside in this church … recently I’ve shown them why their wrong and they told me “Jesus is bigger than a book” I have no words
