Jesus said My sheep hear My voice, not just the shepherds. We are all equal in God’s eyes.
6 But from those who seemed to be something—whatever they were,
it makes no difference to me; God shows personal favoritism to no man—
for those who seemed to be something added nothing to me.
GALATIANS 2 : 6
A true shepherd is one of God sheep. All are to follow Jesus Christ, not man.
27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.
JOHN 10 : 27
That’s why God warns us over and over about false shepherds, false teachers and false prophets.
28 Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock,
among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers,
to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood.
29 For I know this, that after my departure savage wolves
will come in among you, not sparing the flock.
30 Also from among yourselves men will rise up, speaking perverse things,
to draw away the disciples after themselves.
ACTS 20 : 28 – 30
4 And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in
(who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have in Christ Jesus,
that they might bring us into bondage),
5 to whom we did not yield submission even for an hour,
that the truth of the gospel might continue with you.
GALATIANS 2 : 4, 5
When a pastor stops bible studies and precept classes, for his vision, he has closed the living word of God from God’s flock.
12 For the word of God is living and powerful,
and sharper than any two-edged sword,
piercing even to the division of soul and spirit,
and of joints and marrow,
and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 And there is no creature hidden from His sight,
but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him
to whom we must give account.
HEBREWS 4 : 12, 13
13 Till I come, give attention to reading,
to exhortation, to doctrine.
1 TIMOTHY 4 : 13
When a pastor says all must serve, all must join one of his community groups, one no longer is answering God’s calling, but the pastor’s demands.
23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of men.
1 CORINTHIANS 7 : 23
11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things,
distributing to each one individually as He wills.
1 CORINTHIANS 12 : 11
When a pastor will not address the concerns of a group of God’s children, but only one on one, know it is because he can not intimidate the group, but he can intimidate one on one.
3 nor as being lords over those entrusted to you,
but being examples to the flock;
1 PETER 5 : 3
You know he is a false shepherd when he uses God’s pulpit to intimidate those who have concerns. When the pastor causes confusion by doing away with bible studies, precept classes and your monthly communion and people question him, he will blame you for what he has done, saying you are causing confusion and disrupting the unity of the church by questioning him. You will be called a Pharisee from the pulpit and be told you shouldn’t take communion. You will be persecuted for standing on God’s word.
11 “Blessed are you when they revile and persecute you,
and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for My sake.
MATTHEW 5 : 11
14 If you are reproached for the name of Christ, blessed are you,
for the Spirit of glory and of God rests upon you.
On their part He is blasphemed, but on your part He is glorified.
1 PETER 4 : 14
He’ll also require you to sign a covenant with him, putting you under his will, his authority, instead of God’s, and they will use this false covenant to put you out of the church, for questioning him and not following his vision, his dream.
32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,”
says the LORD, “and tell them, and cause My people to err
by their lies and by their recklessness. Yet I did not send them
or command them; therefore they shall not profit this
people at all,” says the LORD.
JEREMIAH 23 : 32
10 Therefore, if I come, I will call to mind his deeds which he does,
prating against us with malicious words. And not content with that,
he himself does not receive the brethren, and forbids those who wish to,
putting them out of the church.
3 JOHN 10
So if your pastor and elders bring in Rick Warren’s 40 Days of Community, welcome to your mind control classes. These are to bring you into unity with the pastor’s will, his vision, his purpose.
"It changed our church!" "It's amazing!" "Transforming! "The fellowship is awesome!" "We're growing!"...
The chorus of praise for Rick Warren's "40 Days" programs sounds impressive, but it's not surprising.
The dynamics behind the facilitated small group -- the heart of the 40 Days process -- are both exhilarating and transformative. But they're neither new nor Biblical. They are merely postmodern adaptations of the old Gestalt Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Esalen-based encounter groups and all the other expressions of the Human Potential movement that helped transform western culture in the 60s and 70s.
This social transformation had been planned decades earlier. [See Steps toward Global Mind Control] By 1948, when the World Health Organization (a UN agency) had established its anti-Christian "Mental Health" program, globalist visionaries in both Europe and North America were experimenting with behavioral psychology as a means to eradicate traditional values and Biblical absolutes. They hoped to "un-freeze" minds and release them from the old values, promote open-mindedness to their revolutionary ideas, fill minds with pluralistic values, and then "re-freeze" the new collective views in the public consciousness.
They succeeded! Working through UNESCO's education program, WHO's global mental health program, national and local governments around the world, the mainstream media and countless private and non-governmental agencies around the world, they fueled the social forces that shaped today's postmodern mind and culture. Liberal churches were among the first to embrace the postmodern thinking, but soon evangelical churches began to accommodate the rising cultural resistance to absolute truth and moral boundaries. To grow, they argued, churches must trade God's unchanging Word for feel-good adaptations.
Know your bible studies and precept classes were stopped, because he doesn’t want groups of God’s children talking about their concerns with each other on what he is doing to God’s church.
4 And this occurred because of false brethren secretly brought in
(who came in by stealth to spy out our liberty which we have
in Christ Jesus, that they might bring us into bondage),
GALATIANS 2 : 4
This is Satan at his finest. Deceiving God’s flock with these false shepherds, who have transformed themselves into ministers of righteousness.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms
himself into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also
transform themselves into ministers of righteousness,
whose end will be according to their works.
2 CORINTHIANS 11 : 13 – 15
This purpose driven emergent church has spread like wild fire around the world thanks to Rick Warren, Saddleback church and Bill Hybels, Willow Creek Association. They have joined God’s church to the world through government and business. All for the better good of mankind. Welcome to Satan’s one world church.
If you attend one of their many churches, and yes on the surface their programs seem nice, but if you dig deep into who all the players are behind this one world church, joining the one world society, you’ll see Satan’s hand on both.
So when you can no longer question the pastor’s leadership, you’ll know who you’re dealing with, not God and His word, for God tells us to test all things.
21 Test all things; hold fast what is good.
1 THESSALONIANS 5 : 21
1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits,
whether they are of God; because many false prophets
have gone out into the world.
1 JOHN 4 : 1
These pastors do not pass God’s test.
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into apostles of Christ.
14 And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms
himself into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also
transform themselves into ministers of righteousness,
whose end will be according to their works.
2 CORINTHIANS 11 : 13 – 15
13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse,
deceiving and being deceived.
1 TIMOTHY 3 : 13
If you think this can’t happen in your church, think again. I am watching faithful Christian friends in a local church who dared to question the pastor and elders on the loss of their bible studies, precept classes and their monthly communion, who are now being persecuted by these so called men of God.
