Excellent work, Mr Kozar. If only Bill Johnson could just stand still and preach from the word of God. That endless walking about, pontificating about his own ideas gets very tedious. I've been a Christian for 36 years, and I was in the charismatic movement, but I left an NAR church a year ago. It wasn't NAR when I started there 19 years earlier, but slowly, by stealth, it came in and absorbed everything. The last sermon I sat under before I left made it clear that if you disagreed with the teaching, you knew where the door was. Indeed, I did, and I used it. The NAR critics are absolutely on point in their criticism. I experienced mysticism, numerology, and repurposed occultic practice, all in the name of Christianity. The NAR roots go very deep, way back in fact, to mostly, non Christian ideas and theories. They will adopt anything remotely spiritual and attempt to use it for themselves. I would love to have a debate with someone like Daniel Kolenda, who defends their theological stance as I personally have been there and experienced it for myself, and there is no defence. Again, great work.

My church is not a charismatic one. However, during Bible study, there are a few members who are clearly operating under a charismatic mindset. The pastor tends to roll his eyes (as discreetly as possible). I unintentionally upset them by actually quoting the Bible in context. I'm not one to standing down. But, we end up agreeing to disagree. I realize that, being human, we are all wrong in some aspect of our understanding. I am a late in life convert of 8 years now, and there have been many people that I've met who have been raised in the church but don't know the Word. I find it baffling. I have had other members thank me for being vocal at the studies and presenting viewpoints that they hadn't considered.

Some years ago I attended a 2-day "conference" at Global Awakening in Lancaster, PA. Among the parade of speakers were Randy Clark, Patricia King, Heidi Baker, Larry Randolph, and a few others I can't recall. One by one they took the stage, and each began their remarks by heaping praise on Randy Clark and Global Awakening. Then, they held up their latest book, CD/DVD, "training package", whatever they were selling and talked about it for a while, ending with something along the lines of, "These are available at the ministry table out in the lobby, and the first X number of people who buy it will get, as a free gift, _________!" After this they would begin their unscripted presentation, typically ramblig and incoherent, but "spirit led," so that made it not only OK, but even better. Form over substance, that is - if you spend your time on stage getting farther and farther "drunk in the spirit," the crowd loves it, and whether or not you're saying anything of substance is inconsequential. At some point someone starts playing the keyboard in the background, and the altar call portion begins - who wants to be filled with the holy spirit? Who is being drawn by God to come forward to have this celebrity's hands placed on them and get a special impartation (complete with manifestation - falling down, laughing uncontrollably, or even convulsing)? OK folks, now I've done my part, now we pass around the donation cards and collection buckets, and you do yours! I left completely disgusted.

Hi Steve, I have been watching your channel, Fighting for the faith, and Justin Peters since Autumn last year. I started believing all of the Charismatic stuff that was on social media and it almost ruined my faith, but praise God he opened my eyes to see the deception and led me to biblical sound channels like yours! Now I am looking for a confessional Lutheran church near me. God bless you and Paulette! ❤

[@StevenKozarMessedUpChurch]

Yay! Praise God!!

[@elained7006]

Why Lutheran?

[@sophierodriguez5042]

@@elained7006 Lutheranism advocates a doctrine of justification "by Grace alone through faith alone on the basis of Scripture alone," the doctrine that scripture is the final authority on all matters of faith.

[@gigi2091]

I almost lost my faith e.g, in healing through Justin Peters and what I see in him is a lot of frustration and bitterness with which he defiles others, and when he criticized other preachers he took so much out of context and his arguments were often also not scriptural, just mocking people

[@amyw7200]

​@@gigi2091 No. Justin clearly says that he wants false teachers to repent and truly come to Christ. He's very gracious. Any harshness that you see is on behalf of those who are deceived and bamboozled by them. I recommend you watch Mike Winger's video about Benny Hinn. Mike is from a Calvary Chapel background and not a cessationist.

I feel sick that I wondered into this malarkey for a season. 🤦‍♀️

You have the wisdom now to speak out. Obviously, you heeded the Holy Spirit pressing on you this stuff was messed up. Now, you can make the public statement of how broken all of that NAR mess is. You have a voice and a platform. Don’t be embarrassed. You have been blessed to come out of the darkness and into the Light. That’s wonderful!

[@robbiesedgeman8698]

I am right there with you. And I am so grateful for teaching like this that helps me to think through and discern the reality of these types of sermons.

Bill has fooled himself thinking he is so profound in his twisted Theology which is of Satan. Oh His buddy Kris is a Self Proclaimed Prophet and that makes it ok for him to add to the Canon. Bill believes he is Apostle and suggests that he works Signs and Wonders but has never performed one Sign and Wonder.

[@darylrahfeldt2162]

Nothing like bragging about your own spiritual attainments!

[@kerriferguson2023]

Self praise is no recommendation!😂

[@BobbiMac08]

A lot of these WOF, charismatic, NAR "pastors" do that. The sermon has more "me" and "I" in them than the Gospel.

[@kerriferguson2023]

@@BobbiMac08 Indeed... a BIG red flag!!!!

[@robine1018]

Does he ever use a Bible verse properly? I’ve yet to see that from him. Of course he’s a false teacher, so I never expect it. Thank you, Steve. Looking forward to another “Hit the Bar” from you and Paulette.

[@ludwigamadeushaydn706]

He correctly quoted "By faith, we understand" in When Heaven Invades Earth, which contradicts the WoF reading.

[@Ephesians-yn8ux]

After reading my comment, I realize voice texting is as reliable as Bill Johnson’s theology. If you can decipher what my latest text was good for you, but voice texting completely changed its ability to be understood. I guess I can just use it as a good example of a Sermon coming out of the ministry of Bill Johnson

You know as I'm watching him walk back and forth, I'm paying attention to his physical appearance. His haircut alone probably cost him at least, in California probably $200. He probably has it treated or some sort of hair treatment. His shoes look like they probably cost him upwards of $500 or more. His shirt and jacket and jeans probably, at least I would say again probably around $500 to $800. Probably upwards of $900 because his clothes are very tailored to him. He probably has them custom tailored. Probably cost him a lot because it's it's also California..so. Now imagine all his clothes are like that....😑 This is a dude who likes to get looked at. His hair is like brushed just so. And I understand when someone stands in front of an audience they want to look their best, but this is not that. It's just not I really don't..feel that. This is a dude who lays in a tanning bed probably 3 to 4 times a week. At least lol and gets manicures and stuff. It's just not giving good feelings to me whatsoever. And here's the thing I don't think that people who spiritually lead people should look junky..but, you can look excellent without looking like, well, you are abusing People's financial support all on yourself and your colleagues. There I said it.

Hurts that a Church in my fellowship would invite Bill, a known Word of Faith advocate, to teach. AOG is in danger if this is any representation of the larger movement. Since I'm in it, I can say I don't believe it is a trend in my neck of the woods. If it becomes a trend, I'll fight it. If it wins, I'm gone.

[@3kainos]

This just a new iteration of the latter rain movement that already caused incredible damage to the AOG & other Pentecostal denominations back in the 1940s-1950s. Really sad to see.

[@bobc1631]

Shout Out from your OHIO campus. This will be GOOOOOOD. Is Bill ever going to preach the gospel? Just a rambling word salad.

[@JamesEverhart-jy1ri]

Probably not going to preach the true gospel.

He speaks so much nonsense. There is no fear of the Lord in him.

Pseudo profundity is also called a "deepity" Deepity is a term employed by Daniel Dennett... The term refers to a statement that is apparently profound but actually asserts a triviality on one level and something meaningless on another.
