Charismatics Cursing Discerning Christians
It amazes me how frequently so-called "Spirit-filled" Christians attempt to
pronounce curses on their brothers and sisters who disagree with them
doctrinally. This fleshly immaturity has manifested itself as far as the
well-known "healing-evangelist" Mr. Benny Hinn who pronounced curses on everyone
who speaks against him or TBN (Trinity Broadcasting Network) down to the lowly
unknown e-mailer that I am citing as just one of many examples our ministry has
received.
Why am I amazed? Because Spirit-filled folks are supposed to have the love of
God shed abroad in their hearts by the Holy Spirit (Romans 5:5). Furthermore we
are commanded by the Apostle Paul in Romans 12:14:
“Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.”
In Luke 5:44 Jesus commands us to:
But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to
them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute
you;
Those who curse must have missed Christianity "101" and opted out for the
conference on how to become a $Prophet$ of the lord.
Below are two of the most recent missives of "love" from an alleged brother in
Christ. Note the tone and language. Not only does this misguided soul violate
the Holy Scriptures, he does not even take time to use his spell and grammar
checker! Nor does he cite any specific examples of where our ministry has
misrepresented Mr. Hagin. We stand by the well documented fact that he stole
intellectually from E.W. Kenyon and other authors. We also do not recant that he
was a false teacher and false prophet, all of which is well documented on our
web site and other web sites and books if anyone cares to take the time to
research. So enjoy the following e-mail and I believe it speaks for itself and
helps answer why I am glad to consider myself an "X-charismatic." (Bold type and
underlining are added by people for emphasis on my part and the red letters
merely point out his abysmal lack of grammar and spelling).
Dear Robert, I just read your article on the web.
It's great that you are investigating religion, but you got the Kenneth
Hagin situation wrong. I'm a born agin Christian and realize that some peopl
do not understand Kennth's ministyr.
I have an organization speaking against you since you don't seem to know
what you're talking about. He is not a false prophet at all. These things
were revealed to him.
No I will not argue with you, thee are plenty of people on the forum who
already think you have this all wrong. He was not a part of TV or TBN after
the 80 since he was told not to go on TV by the LORD JESUS CHRIST.
Your judgment is coming as well and you who don't really know what you're
talking about. You have started a war -----but not with sweet innocent
christians but ones that can go into the spirit realm and destroy you.
Think about it Jesus Christ won't help you once the curse is upon you. PS we
are born again christians too
Do not understand Hagin’s ministry? Oh really? We have almost every one of
his books, untold numbers of his cassettes, him on video and I have seen him in
person, up close and personal, even been in prayer lines where he was imparting
his special "anointing" so special it is not even mentioned in the Bible! No,
quite the contrary, as a former Word of Faith Pastor/teacher I am extremely
familiar with his doctrine and it is unsound biblically and his so-called
visions and out-of-body experience with Jesus are farcical.
He is welcome to have an "organization" speaking against us, gee after Benny the
healer Hinn has cursed you. . .hey take your best shot pal. I on the other and
must and do bless these misguided souls. We pray for them and the remaining
Hagin family that our gracious Lord Jesus Christ will open their eyes to the
truth of the Gospel and they will recant their false doctrines and pull the
books that contain them from the shelves.
I wish I had a dime for every time somebody was going to go up to the spirit
realm (he must have been reading too much Mary K. Baxter) and destroy me, my
family and marriage. Sounds more like witchcraft versus the character of Christ
Jesus, who commanded us to turn the other cheek when struck (read Matthew 5:39).
Golly, even Jesus Christ, God the Son Himself won’t help me (or by inference
others) who dare to speak out against what we believe to be false doctrine. I
guess since "dad" Hagin assumed room temperature, speaking out against him has
been elevated to the status of blaspheming the Holy Spirit (I think not).
What a shame that the sign-gift movement has spiraled down to this level of
unbiblical diatribe and unwillingness to admit that many of its leaders have
feet of clay and sinful hearts, like the rest of us. They too are in continual
need of God’s forgiveness and mercy. I pray God has mercy on the following
individual who sent the above email to us. Feel free to express your love to
him, it seems he really needs it! atiragepro@gmail.com.
Here is the less than godly response from this so-called brother. His language
and hatred betray him. Read with sadness the following:
We as human Christains not sweet get your --ass
--kicked ---by---
reigion-- and the --- Gov't don't care what you write about us GET IT?
and we still gave our lives to Jesus Christ Even the devil was mad for the
day of
vengence, write more and get destroyed more.
We do not accept your fake ass apology as PS ask the Lord Jesus Christ if we
are not of HIM?
You'll be more than surprised and a'' 17 million of us know you will not
reveal
when He truly answers you. Some peopl need to keep their mouth shut and
their
websites. The demonic attacks are ones you are your church can't fight off j
judgment starts in the house of the LORD
Uh…what planet is this guy from? To begin with the Bible says to let no
corrupt communication come from our mouths:
Eph. 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which
is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Secondly, DMI did not apologize for anything we have written regarding the false
prophet Kenneth Hagin Sr. What we did say was that we would "bless" him, and we
did in our prayer time, I guess those coals get pretty hot when they get heaped
on his head, ergo the vitriolic response. I need not ask our Lord if he is "of
Him," his fruit speaks loudly enough so we have no need to bother the Ancient of
Days with such a question. If he wants to reject our prayers and blessings that
is his right, but the Bible says that "love believes the best" and obviously he
is not walking in love because he doubts our sincerity. Again, pray for this
misguided soul and may God have mercy upon him and those caught up in calling
darkness light and light darkness.
