One of the current issues I’m trying to alert you to here at Apprising Ministries is an increasing charismania running along a parallel track with mainstream evangelicalism’s lust for corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism (CSM); and it becomes an especially deadly spiritual cocktail when imbibed together.

Apprising Ministries has brought to your attention that within wider evangelicalism there does seem to be a mainstreaming of New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) false Apostle-ProphetMike Bickle ((http://bit.ly/JJSncx, accessed 1/23/14.)) and his spiritually corrupt International House of Prayer (IHOP). Now before you’re tempted to simply shrug off NAR luminaries like Bickle, and the IHOP movement birthed by him, […]

UPDATE: THE MASTER’S COLLEGE WITHDRAWS AS EXHIBITOR AT UPCOMING LINGER CONFERENCE I begin by pointing out that this all started with the Apprising Ministries article John Piper And Stephen Venable Of IHOP Together At Linger Conference.

In the last months, I have to confess that I learned to groan even audibly. In what seemed to me as a perfect storm, I succumbed to groaning. First it […]

Anyone with even a modicum of spiritual discernment can see that there’s very rough spiritual sea dead ahead. The plethora of people-pleasing prophets telling you otherwise are lying to you; whether they know it or not.

26 For in Christ Jesus you are all sons of God, through faith. 27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. (Galatians 3:26-27) Some people imagine that faith is a quality that sticks to the heart on its own, with or without Christ. This is a dangerous error. Christ should be placed directly before our […]

Lately here at Apprising Ministries you’ve seen me talk about the grave dangers of the evangelical fascination with corrupt Contemplative Spirituality/Mysticism and rampant charismania now sweeping through the heart of professing Christendom faster than an Oklahoma wildfire. For example, Dr. Michael Brown Says Friends Mike Bickle And Lou Engle “True Men Of God”; and then yesterday John Piper […]

For what it may be worth, Apprising Ministries has previously informed you that Chandler, Stetzer and Shirer are associated with the Southern Baptist Convention: You may recall the other day I told you that Dr. Michael Brown Defends Word Faith Heretic Benny Hinn and his own appearance on Hinn’s TV program. While discussing this in his Michael Brown, Benny Hinn […]
