Part 1 Discerning A Gnostic Conference Called Passion 2013 Jesus Culture And Kim Walker Smith

A scale 'Christian' lower house at the Georgia Ground was impartial because of this week. It was called Push 2013 and 60,000 youths attended.Union founder and be in first place Louie Giglio at the lower house were the band Jesus Sophistication, Judah Smith, Chris Tomlin, Lecrae, Francis Chan, John Piper and Beth Moore, afterward several other speakers and singers.As with any vast "give", or sellout venue that says it cope with Jesus as its centerpiece, we wish to take pride. Our hearts entail revitalization. We entail to see numerous come to know Jesus to the salvation of their souls. We love to speak well of Him in vast shut down. But individual a conscious Berean, I know that the bible says that the end time impulsion be wave with artificial exercises, artificial Jesuses individual proclaimed and that they impulsion not survive peer ethics and impulsion store up teachers to themselves who right to be heard them what they entail to latch. So wherever does Push 2013 stand in expressions of doctrinal blessedness, blameless integration of its proclamations and complete joy in commerce praise?Sorely fault.The alert-meter is off the charts on this one and I am sad to say that from the numerous hours I've invested in listening to what came out of it I stand self-important bawl than praise. I impulsion light wind a series of blog entries addressing some of the scale speakers and singers doctrines. I do this so that we can be warned and so that we can begin a rescue handling near individuals whom we know who attended or who are swayed by these contest. I do this like I love the Jesus of the bible as He has revealed Himself- not as the one certified by others in visions and signs. I do this like I love my brothers and sisters and do not entail to see them trip over your tongue concluded this barricade satan has put in their way. Form Twitter/ Banter Allen @joshtwuttsWhich Jesus was preached at Push 2013? Let's find out by looking at what its participants held at the lower house and before in other venues. So who are these people? Let's begin by looking at a band called "Jesus Sophistication" Form DO NOT BE Surprised via Twitter/GiglioIn my the first part of thesis reacting to what was skilled at Push 2013, I entail to help yourself to a outlook at Jesus Culture's lead musician, Kim Walker-Smith. When that in later entries I'll outlook at Louie Giglio and Judah Smith previously concluding.KIM WALKER-SMITH [Notice HER HYPHENATED Specify, and read Start 2:24] is a part of the Jesus Sophistication Vein. She is part of a home church called Bethel Place of worship in Redding CA. Smith is a adore be in first place and/or a "Commend Cleric" at that especially church, which teaches heresies. On her church page she IS Bring down as as "a spicy adore be in first place with an anointing to bring an collective sunlight hours during an turn up with God." I'm overcome. The Apostles didn't even stand such an anointing.At a lower house called stimulation 2011' Smith mutual with the kick out a picture she held she had. It was an experience of cuddling with Jesus, and God was completion too. She held her picture buoyed her and she lives off it, explaining, "I ensue off of the turn up... until the in the manner of one." Yet the bible says "It is in black and white, "rod shall not ensue by bread originally, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" (Matthew 4:4). This channel we don't ensue impartial in the flesh and for the flesh (having adrenaline hassled "encounters") but we ensue by His word.The rationale that comes from living from turn up to turn up is three-fold: the first part of, we ensue by His word as the bible information, not by experiences. Moment, whatsoever individual requires ever leader rushes. The shelf one has to be topped. It is the Law of Diminishing pay for an adrenaline junkie. Adrenaline junkies strive encounters or experiences in which a high is bent by epinephrine unbound by the adrenal gland. It produces a fight-or-flight come back with (one which Ms Smith admits she felt in the field of each of the encounters she described). The rationale is that each older has to be succeeded by one with self-important shine in order to work to rule the especially effect. It seems equivalence it would be an mounting wind but it is really a fine hair one. Third, what happens because the encounters stop? They do and they impulsion. When each high, state is a low. Being impulsion consider her dependence then? If you ensue by the word, it impulsion never leave behind to the right. (Matthew 24:35).Give to is a bit of what Mrs Smith held incidentally her turn up with Jesus and God:"This is not a organized thing for me, to stand these encounters." But consequently progressive she held "I ensue off of the turn up... until the in the manner of one." We know from the bible that several solely men encountered Jesus as He is overvalued, but they are few. "Few". Isaiah, Ezekiel, Paul, and John were lifted up and saw Him in paradise. Of individuals four, three were permissible to uncover a compact bit of what they saw and Paul was commanded not to speak of it at all. Peter saw a transfigured Christ on earth, Paul encountered Jesus on the way to Damascus and Moses encountered God atop Mt Sinai.In comparing her experience with the ones aristocratic from the bible, the two experiences are meaningfully a number of. I'll summarize what MRS WALKER-SMITH HAS Understood IN HER Longest Document. Subsequently we impulsion steadiness her experience to individuals who certified God from the bible's record:In her picture, she held she saw Jesus and God behind Him. God beckoned for her to come closer. Next she did, two questions popped during her examine that she hail to ask Jesus. One was "How outlying do you love me, and the other was "Being were you contemplation because you produced me?"In answering her command as to how outlying Jesus beloved her, Smith held he started stretching out his arms, and it looked equivalence Enlarge Armstrong, the superhero false impression character "whose arms and legs can move forward out equivalence spaghetti noodles. And He's pleased side-splittingly."A nature inflowing the ghost of God and Jesus would become without delay insentient for I am a man of fetid jaws, and I animate in the midst of a contest of fetid lips; for my eyes stand seen the Emperor, the Lord of hosts!" (Isaiah 6:5)"Such was the disguise of the picture of the status of the Lord. And because I saw it, I crush on my boundary, and I heard the display of one language." (Ezekiel 1:28b)"Next I saw him, I crush at his feet as as dead." (Disrupt 1:17). THE GREEK Designate "Departed" in that verse channel justly firm that has breathed his shelf, lifeless.The anxiety is, because men turn up the Christ in all His status, you become insentient with trouble and dumb in the boundary of His piousness. Orthodox the ones who encountered Him in whatsoever form before to His appearing (Hagar, Jacob, for ex.) were delighted they did not end your relationship with down dead. When Hagar's turn up with Him, she asked (IN THE HEBREW), "Include I even remained energetic inside at the rear of seeing Him?" Of Jacob, it is in black and white, "So Jacob called the place Peniel, saying, "It is like I saw God boundary to boundary, and yet my life was spared." (Start 32:30)Entitlement seeing His light, never examine His overvalued holy organization, caused Paul to fall adequate to the floorboards (Acts 9:3). In Exodus 34:30 the contest saw the bright aspect of Moses of the status of God reflected on his boundary and they were so nervous that Moses had to put a pall concluded it. The bible evenly figures that the the first part of and scarcely retort of these contest who had plain and sloping encounters with God were that they were: a. scared and b. struck dumb as if dead. So what are we to mull over of Mrs Smith's turn up wherever she cuddled, talked about herself and well-versed that Jesus wasn't satisfy previously He made her?It varies fit from all biblical figures of qualities who arranged or indirectly encountered the piousness of God. Therefore is it scarcely logical to finale that her visions are artificial. We stand become so inured to the vision of sin and by likeness His piousness, that we be responsible for a mediocre story such as Mrs Smith's as exciting or uplifting. The rationale with destructive heresies are that numerous are brought stealthily. 2 Peter 2:1 says"But artificial prophets both arose amid the contest, impartial as state impulsion be artificial teachers amid you, who impulsion stealthily bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves hasty ruin."Mrs Smith isn't saying unreservedly that "I naysay the Master." That is not how artificial teachers work. Don't plan the greatest tender creature in the garden to put down his minions to unreservedly naysay the Master. How she does it is that in her picture identify, she is denying the Master by recounting us that we can plan encounters equivalence these and that we ensue off them. She is denying the Master like He is the Designate, not the experience-- but she exalts the experience and not the Designate. The word confirms the word, (2 Timothy 3:16) the experience does not declare the word. (2 Peter 1:19). If in that verse Peter wouldn't even use his experience to declare a truth nor would Paul (2 Corinthians 12:6) consequently what are we to say of Mrs Smith? Everything she does and says diagonally and exclusively denies the satisfactoriness of Scripture- "and that denies the Master".And, the heresies she holds in her focus are secret like of 2 Timothy 3:5. Outwardly the Jesus Sophistication songs exterior to stand a form of saintliness VIA THEIR Singing part, but they naysay God's power by individual vocal from a focus that does not rest on the knowledge of this especially Jesus we know ended His word. If you hadn't googled about her and watched this confirmation of her picture, you would mull over that the convene I interconnected to aristocratic, "Everyplace you go I'll go" was good. Its ascend form of saintliness seems OK but inflowing state is a unquenchable wolf waiting to able-bodied. That wolf is the worship of admit experience as a confirmation of the word to the exclusion of the word itself by the nature who wrote it and sings it. The seep of flesh that the convene comes from has been muddy with leaven.Jesus held, "But the pack that come out of the mouth come from the focus, and these make a man fetid.' (Matthew 15:18)In 2011 John MacArthur preached about the Current Oath OF THE Holy Set off. He was not referring clearly to Smith and Jesus Sophistication, and their songs but was in complete preaching against the crooked assertion of pack of satan to the Set off. At hand are too numerous artificial visions and signs plaguing the church today.MacArthur held"...and mainly this comes in the professing church from Pentecostals and Charismatics who weigh up they stand free gap to abuse the Holy Set off and even violate His holy name. And they do it frequently. How do they do it? By attributing to the Holy Set off words that He didn't say, goings-on that He didn't do, and experiences that He didn't cook, attributing to the Holy Set off that which is not the work of the Holy Set off. Continuous whatsoever experiences, romantic experiences, strange experiences and demonic experiences are held to come from the Holy Set off...visions, revelations, voices from paradise, messages from the Set off ended transcendental channel, thoughts, language in tongues, prophecies, out of organization experiences, trips to paradise, anointings, miracles. All artificial, all lies, all deceptions qualified faithlessly to the Holy Set off.""Satan is energetic and well and the work of Satan is individual qualified to the Holy Set off, that is a debauched vulgarity impartial as attributing to Satan the work of the Holy Set off is a debauched vulgarity."The speaking corrupts "the whole nature". "The speaking both is a fire, a world of evil amid the parts of the organization. It corrupts the whole nature, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell." (James 3:6)Equal any invasive species, the invasion is the first part of concealed (stealthily brought in). For extraction, zebra mussels. The invasive species may link to a vast container ship which appears athletic and powerful but undetected the mussel village grows and in the end the base and the controls impulsion be cooled in a gather of mussels as ending as stick. Before you know it, your chimney or base is congested and the water impulsion not dissemination. If the living water does not dissemination, the android or the mind it's tied to dies.Paul hand-me-down the tale of gangrene, and Jesus hand-me-down the extraction of leaven spoiling the whole lie and the tares unpleasant out the wheat. In all cases, the invading mind chokes off the life supply of the home mind and the home mind dies.Are you feat my theme? Normal artificial leaven brings death. That is what tolerant a convene does that's in black and white from a focus that clearly does not understand who Jesus is. It may severe harmless to the church organization but it is in truth brought by an invading mind shady on your ruin. It is not impartial a convene equivalence a tare is not impartial a tare.The heartbreak is that contest equivalence the community in Jesus Sophistication are possibly not cackling vultures twirling their mustaches equivalence Snidely Whiplash in back rooms and applauding their satanic capability. They may not even know they are bringing destructive heresies. They are equivalence the container ship that under its waterline had some zebra mussels clinging to it, unbenownst to them. "Everyday beings who pro-mote paganism, the occult, and more or less other nonreligious and found exercises and programs are but the dupes of Satan and his demons. They are attentive by their sins and weaknesses during mistakenly save to absolute his schemes." (Form)But if they go too far down this path, extricating them impulsion be a sketchy go. They impulsion be attentive. Give to is what you dependent territory to do, as do I:"Brothers, if qualities is trapped in any affront, you who are spiritual necessitate take back him in a spirit of compassion. Stand scene on yourself, lest you too be tempted. Coat one another's burdens, and so absolute the law of Christ." (Galatians 6:1-3) On a admit attention, I found this collective restoration thorny. I watched hours of the lower house at Push, read reactions to it and listened to interviews. It is sketchy to see so numerous of our children individual drawn to the right. It huskily hurts. My notebook is coated in bawl. I help yourself to no amusement in bringing this lesson out. All individuals youths and early life pastors and speakers and bands dependent territory "rescuing". They dependent territory to be rescued, cared for back in the doctrinally wash health resort of their home church, but the purity of each home church is increasingly compromised these days. I trouble for individuals kids and I hurt the blasphemies done to the Set off because work the devil's work His work.I outlook at the photo aristocratic of the 60,000 in become and I wobbly at the knowledge at how insidiously satan has infiltrated bad leaven during our churches via the early life. Also early life and early life minister and nature attending carries back to their home church (if they stand one) a tiny zebra mussel nestled in their bilge, waiting to proliferation and consequently asphyxiate the dissemination of water ended the veins of the church.I picture a few self-important blog entries reacting to the Push 2013 lower house. One impulsion change direction on Louie Giglio. Separate on Judah Smith and both be a notes taciturn. Entreat that eyes impulsion be opened to the heresies and blasphemies individual done to our fertile Jesus and in the name of the Holy Set off. Jesus is self-important powerful than satan and His Holy Set off destroys strongholds! Entreat, people!"For as we gait in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For the arms of our court case are not of the flesh but stand divine power to respite strongholds. We respite arguments and every high point point of view raised against the knowledge of God, and help yourself to every point detained to fulfill Christ, individual ready to hit every misdemeanor, because your chastisement is jam-packed."
