Is He "Pimping" or "Pastoring"?

Here are some indicators to help you identify cult figure traits of control, manipulation, intimidation, and unresolved sexual lust issues in a male pastor (primarily) or other spiritual leader. Many times these same leaders are actually "novices" who left their learning too soon because of misguided ambition or an unwillingness to submit to instruction in humility under another so they could be properly trained, and it has now caught up to them years later.

Personal Observations on "Churchianity" & The Kingdom of God

Not long ago I was so deep in "CHURCHIANITY" (church insanity) that I couldn't clearly see the "Kingdom of GOD" according to the scriptures. I left the conventional church to get to know better my unconventional God & Savior in the person of Yeshua the Messiah. For over 20-years I was in the "ministry fraternity" that wrongly defined God's Kingdom based on poor interpretations, blatantly misused scriptures, vain traditions, and false doctrines that tapped into carnality & worldliness masked as prosperity while promoting personality over genuine spirituality. I regret being duped into this mess and misleading others unknowingly.   #PHONY

Faking, Shaking, & Money Making Down at the Ole "Chuch"

There are many false manifestations of the Holy Spirit in the earth today because Satan is a great imitator and not an originator of anything but lies. I will admit that even I have been deceived in times past by false manifestations portrayed as moves of God or even by certain false messengers because of a strong "sensory experience" which appeared to be a true spiritual experience. When you learn better you must do better or you are doomed to repeat the same cycles and live in deception. God is not excusing our ignorance, and it is contingent on every born again believer to gain the knowledge necessary to walk in the truth which is contained and revealed in the Holy Scriptures of the Bible. I don't believe we should preach poverty but I can't look past the fact that the scriptures warn against pursuing riches and that our Lord declared of himself in LUKE 9:58; "And Jesus said unto him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head." How the "prosperity profits" put a twist on this that Yeshua was rich in his earthly ministry I will never understand but it is clear from his own words that material gain was not his priority or possession. He lived by faith and taught the apostles to do the same. His having a money bag for a treasury or people giving to him only shows that he was organized and was assisted in his ministry by others for his needs; not that he was rich. Even the reference of Abraham and the patriarchs as being wealthy is taken way out of context and perspective. God blessed Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob because he was financing an entire nation in them; not so they could be big shots and live like the wicked. He is an all sufficient God, not a spiritual ATM. You do get by giving but not for the wrong reasons and with the sole motive of getting. True givers take more pleasure in the giving than the getting. You give cheerfully and gladly that you are able to be a blessing and that in turn makes God bless you with what you ask for beyond your needs.

The "Phony" Anointing

When folks won't invite you into their groups or don't want to be around you it isn't always because of you but because of "what" is on you. The "anointing" of God comes upon a person to designate and empower them to be and do a particular thing for the Lord. It is a "click" repellent, a friend examiner, an exorcist, a relationship revealer, and a phony exposer among other things. Self-absorbed people will justify acting aloof and stand offish or ignoring you by saying things like, "I'm guarding my anointing." Why guard a person from something so good if you're that powerful? Shouldn't what you have on you be able to overpower what is on me? They are delusional and lying!
