"Hit the Bar" Episode 24: Bethel's "New Apostolic Reformation" Damage Control!

[@humblejoy3564]

Thank you, Bethel was such a big influence on our former "Church" people are refusing to listen, but rather tell us we're being hateful and are at risk of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, and it breaks my heart!

[@merrittascott3323]

@@prophetcarnivaltechnician7222 Hi, that is not what is being discussed. It's the false teachings from the pulpits and even the false teachings in the worship songs. The Kosars came out of the very teachings they found did not agree with scripture. I was in the signs and wonders ministry also. Knowing now it was deception and doctrines of demons. Not opinions of my own changed, but when I really tested what was being taught with what God teaches. They are not at all the same. I do believe in speaking in tongues, healings and miracles. What is not the Holy Spirit is the hyper biblical false teachings. Google Kundalini spirit and see how pagan religions are manifesting the same as many ministries. I had to drop what I thought was right when I researched by testing with scripture. I wasn't reading scripture in context either which allowed me to trust a scripture verse taken out of context.

Right?! Paul and the REAL Apostles could SO articulate (ugh, not to use a jargon term) the truth of the Gospel... These people can't spell it out to save their lives.

I pray this will be greatly used, that you guys will be held tightly safe in God's hand (so to speak), and that there will be a great awakening--not in the FFTF prophesy bingo sense!--but the church will realise how it is being deceived and cheated of its inheritance: of assurance of complete salvation in our Lord, and in the inerrancy and sufficiency of scripture.

Sunday morning I clicked the live service video on Bethel's channel. I guess I was curious to test whether I could parse the truth from the lies for myself. I didn't intend to watch it all, but I was painting and trying to put something on in the background. The first thing I saw was all of the staff on stage praying over Bill, who was apparently standing in for his wife, Beni... because the cancer has returned. I'm still stunned. Could we please get a group praying for her? Pray for her repentance before she loses her life in this horrible way. Even if she's a false teacher married to a false teacher, we don't know if she's saved or not, and I think it's heartbreaking imagining the wrath she faces if indeed she is not.

[@Maranatha7557]

I love your heart. I will definitely pray for them all.

[@EAB-bz6yi]

I think we all would rather they repent, but sadly they are more than likely rebrobated. Many apologetic ministries have been exposing their false movement for years and they don't take it seriously. They don't have enough humility to even ask God if they are in error, if they would Christ is faithful to bring them out....He did me! When a ministry, teaches that Jesus was not God, at any point in His earthly ministry.....that is blasphemy. That's usurping God and the ploy of Satan, Isa. 14 I believe that Benni's illness was a wake up call and a judgement from God.......do you think she or Bill will publicly repent since they have publicly taught false doctrine? And start teaching correct doctrine. They have told believers for years if they are sick they don't have enough faith or they don't give enough! They tell believers not to pray for God's will and trust Him with the outcome. So, when many many supporters die anyway.....it leaves them with a broken heart. Then with their faith crushed and thinking God doesn't love them; the deceived ask themselves, what have I "NOT" done to earn God's favor. I believe God's judgement here is Him exposing them, in order for their followers to wake up and repent! I don't think Beni will be healed....I think she will die within the next few months. I also believe the cancer has been back for sometime now and they have hid it....so she might not be around for long. This should sober us all up! God will not be mocked! Whatever a man sows, that he shall reap.

@@krakoosh1 Opps! It isn't up to you These charismatics have the word written as a witness, therefore they are without an excuse. God decides the fate of these people who have led millions astray...only God can open or close their hearts to repent or not. If they dont repent, then they will spend eternity in hell. They preach another gospel; even Apostle Paul cursed them for that....this is very serious. Deceiving and leading astray the sheep is so grevious, that God puts a higher standard for those who administer the gospel to the sheep. Basically, their theology comes from the beginning in Genesis, when Satan deceived Eve in the garden. If God open my eyes to the truth, why aren't their eyes opened? Because they resist the Holy Spirit of Truth. They love mammon more than God, they love success more than God and they are not willing to suffer for His name sake. Actually, they think they are "little gods".

What I don't understand is if Bethel agrees with the "core values" of NAR, why are they trying so hard to distance themselves from it? Just found out that Bill Johnson's wife has cancer and is very ill. Please pray for them. May this health crisis expose the deception and bring them to the truth of Jesus Christ, His Gospel and His Word.

[@mjb469]

Tragically, Bill Johnson has announced that his wife's cancer has returned and she's undergoing chemotherapy. I don't understand how that awful truth aligns with Bethel's theology.

[@rickorider]

Yes he says there is no cancer in heaven so there should be no cancer on earth. Very damaging Theology where in reality it does not work. So sad to hear his wife is ill again. Jesus said "my grace is sufficient"

Whether you started it as a joke or not, you do have campuses all over the world. Usually they have 1 membership wise but that's enough.

Ive watched a little of these bethel videos (I haven’t been able to sit through a whole one) It’s so frustrating how their “defense” is pretty much them saying “Hahah we don’t do that”. In none of them are they actually addressing the concerns. They seem geared toward people that already follow them not those that are concerned and searching for truth!

[@StevenKozarMessedUpChurch]

Exactly-it’s damage control to retain their already gullible followers!

You two are quite entertaining! That comment and action around 12:30 when you said, "that new electric anointing" and spazzed out for a second had me laughing so hard I had to pause for a few minutes... 🤣 Now, I am only about half way through this video, but the more I watch, the more I just want to comment the things I have been learning. Long story short I have been on the outside looking in at all this for years... Seeing what is happening, but not able to quite connect the dots as you are doing so well at now. I was basically "saved into" this entire belief system while it was in its developmental stages, and then booted and locked out after leaving my "home church" to move to another state. When I say locked out what I mean is, these people teach they ARE "the covering of God" because they ARE "The Church", and without that "covering" that "they" provide we are in grave spiritual danger of some sort. Several years I spent trying to "get back in"... Join a "church family"... Come back under "the covering of the church" and was rejected again and again and again, until I finally gave up. Realizing I had been YEARS without this so called "covering" and yet somehow the enemy hadn't killed me yet. Hadn't dragged me to hell and tormented me day and night for my apparent disobedience of not being under this so called "covering"... Even though they were the ones rejecting me... 😳 100 + churches I attempted to join or become a part of over the course of 10+ years, rejected at each one, yet it was somehow my fault they were rejecting me. They really do hold a very narcissistic ideal of God, His Kingdom, and their place in His Kingdom. Now, Jesus did tell us how to pray and did say we should pray for God's Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven, and I don't believe He would have told us to pray that if it wasn't actually God's will for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven... However, they have taken it as if God has chosen them specifically to be the CAUSE of this happening. The "holy apostles" that brought forth God's will on earth... 🤦‍♀️ So the next problem is that Jesus told us to go out into all the world and make disciples of all the nations. Disciples. Not apostles, teachers, preachers, prophets, and evangelists. Not sit in a church building, spoon feeding a bunch of "believers" self help sermons and "prophetic words of encouragement"... Go out into all the world and make disciples... Students of the Truth, not "rulers of the church and eventually the world". It is my personal belief after having watched these things develop over the last several years that that it is a false spirit that has been oppressing the church since the very beginning, and growing itself in the delusion of power it gives those who believe and receive it as the Holy Spirit. The strong delusion actually began on the day of Pentecost. The apostles unwittingly summoned the false spirit, the Kundalini spirit, by being in "one accord in one place". Which if we look at the whole of our Christian "history of revival" over the last couple of decades it is very clear that this false spirit was being summoned and able to manifest itself in the physical realm THROUGH all these people being "in one accord in one place". However, the physical manifestations are not the only manifestations of this spirit. There are thousands of false prophets in the world today... Which is another connection point for this whole "movement" they supposedly know nothing about. The Elijah List... Something they are all connected to in one way or another, which is run by Steve Shultz and is pumping out "prophets" like an assembly line in a factory. Each one has a dream, a vision, or a "word from God"... None of which agree with any other dream, vision, or word because it is just a free for all now... This is coming from and based on the belief that these are "the last days" and God is now pouring out His Spirit on all flesh, as MISQUOTED in Acts. The actual scripture about God pouring out His Spirit is in Joel and it says, "AFTERWARD" He will pour out His Spirit ON all flesh... Note... ON, not IN. There is no "infilling" of the Holy Spirit as we have been taught. After what? Joel told us there would first be repentance in the land, and then refreshing in the land, and THEN God would pour out His Spirit on all flesh. Joel said nothing about "the last days". As a matter of fact the only place in the Bible this specific phrase is used is in the doctrines of Paul. Jesus didn't even use this phrase. To me though, that is good news... That we have all been wrong about so many things... Because I believe God has a much better plan for us than we have for ourselves. But we won't be able to experience it until we turn away from all the wrong things we have been taught and are believing. IF My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

[@caroleimani9754]

I'm glad you are discussing the NAR.. I have heard of them before, buy I didn't know what they believed...I guess I thought it was some kind of government thing.

[@arkuipers530]

Vallotton is trying to separate NAR theology from its practical appication in the same manner as he separates catholicism from the Popes ‘love for God’ and his ‘speaking in tongues’ as a prove of being Spirit filled. In other words, what you believe doesn’t matter, as long as your heart and your actions are right. This in essence is NAR. About the fathering part, it really is cultic. Jesus tells us to not call people our father. (Matt 23:9)

@@paulettekozar2629 thank you 🤗💖 today, the VA retirement nursing home administrator called, he'll be in there either by the end of this week or as early as next week. His 1st 2 weeks he'll have to be under quarantine before he goes to his room there where he'll be staying, during those 2 weeks he will not be allowed any visitors to physically visit him in person, I'm his only family he has closer by (within 2hrs apart one way depending on traffic) rest of family lives a bit over 2000 miles away). My only concern for those 2 weeks while in quarantine, their policy and procedures due to COVID-19, he'll feel isolated and lonely during that time, and he might go down hill because he will not be allowed and physical contact with family even though he may be allowed to talk over the phone with loved ones, he may also have video chat, but he doesn't understand the concepts of how to do so. It's the physical isolation for those 2 weeks he may not do well. And, praying that he'll have strength in the midst to hang in there through those 2 weeks. 😔🙏I'll be there to visit him after the 2 weeks are over and when he'll be in his room and freed from the quarantine. 😊🤗💖 love y'all and God bless you, Brother Steven and Lucy and your family too 🤗💖 I'll keep y'all updated as I know how he is doing too🤗💖
