THE "WILD GOOSE" SATANIC ANOINTING DECEPTION - TODAY'S "CELTIC CHRISTIANITY" REBIRTH AND THE EMERGING CHURCH.


"But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward."
(Jeremiah 7:24)



I want to start this article by quoting a (false) prophecy - specifically referencing Wales - by the (false) prophetess Kathie Walters, as published on the notorious 'Elijah List' website of Steve Shultz on 25th April 2014. (The 'Elijah List' has been well described by Sandy Simpson at the Apologetics Co-Ordination Team as "the biggest distributor of false prophecies in cyberspace!")
 

"A Strong "Wild Goose" Anointing Will Flow Between Canada, the USA, Wales, And The Rest Of The UK
I saw the anointing like the wild goose flow over Canada and down into the USA. Now, there are many wonderful ministries in Canada that are unknown, and relatively few ministries from there become well-known. There are people like Patricia King, and Todd Bentley, Stacey and Wesley Campbell, Charlie Robinson, Samuel Robinson, and others, but there are many more that are hidden inside Canada, and we don't hear about them.
But God is going to draw back the curtain and those ministries will be seen and they will follow the Wild Goose all over the world. They will carry the wild goose anointing. It will flow down into the USA, across the Niagara, and from Quebec and Vancouver. A strong Wild Goose anointing will flow between Canada and USA and Wales and the rest of the UK."


So what is this supposed "wild goose" anointing?

Ms. Walters describes its origin thus:

"It was said that the early Celtic Christians referred to the Holy Spirit as the "Wild Goose," or "An Geadh-Glas." In Gaelic that means "the goose-grey." It really can't be proved, but certainly in the 20th century the Holy Spirit was called the "Wild Goose" by Celtic groups."

Note: The "prophetess" actually admits that it cannot be proved that Celtic Christians called the Holy Spirit the "Wild Goose!" The fact of the matter is that there's not a shred of textual evidence in existence to back this claim up! In plain English, it is a mere myth, a FABLE! And what does the Word of God say about such things? 

"And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto
fables."
(2 Timothy 4:4)

So what else does Ms. Walters have to say about this fable?

"The dove was considered a tame bird - but... the wild goose was adopted by the Celtic Christians, who had such a boldness anointing among them: Historically, if it meant anything to the Celtic peoples, it would have been a symbol of war-likeness. But the Wild Goose sermon of George Macleod caught people's imagination, and the image stuck. Most 'Celtic' Christians today have adopted the wild goose as their emblem..."

N.B. Full text, from which these key excerpts have been extracted, can be found at:



So who is the George Macleod referred to above?

 The Iona Community

George Macleod was a minister in the Church of Scotland, who in 1938 founded the Iona Community in Glasgow and the Isle of Iona, and popularized the concept of the Holy Spirit as the "Wild Goose" in a supposed rebirth of the Celtic Christian tradition of St. Columba. As seen above, the Iona Community uses the wild goose as its logo, and runs Wild Goose Publications as an important part of its mission.
It should be well noted that the Iona Community is absolutely dedicated to doctrine-diluting ecumenism, and also has peace and disarmament as a key objective, either in woeful ignorance or wilful rejection of Biblical warning that there will be NO peace until Jesus returns and rules as King of kings and Lord of lords!

"For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."
(1 Thessalonians 5:3)

AT THIS POINT, LET IT BE EMPHASIZED THAT THE ONE AND ONLY BIRD THAT HOLY WRIT ASSOCIATES WITH THE THIRD PERSON OF THE TRINITY IS THE DOVE. IN FACT, THE WORDS "GOOSE" AND "GEESE" ARE TOTALLY ABSENT FROM THE BIBLE! TO DESCRIBE THE HOLY SPIRIT AS A WILD GOOSE HAS NO SCRIPTURAL VALIDATION WHATSOEVER! IT IS AN ABSOLUTE INVENTION OF THE HUMAN IMAGINATION, AND IS EMPHATICALLY NOT A THING OF DIVINE INSPIRATION!

"And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a
dove upon him."
(Luke 3:22)

With the thoroughly UNBIBLICAL origin of the Wild Goose = Holy Spirit concept firmly in mind, we will now have an extremely eye-opening look at an annual event in the USA which rejoices in the name of:


The Wild Goose Festival

singers

Its Wiki entry gives this crisp and very revealing synopsis:

"The Wild Goose Festival is a festival held annually in the United States focused on justice, spirituality, music and the arts. The festival is "rooted in the Christian tradition" and is popular among progressive Christians and many involved with the emerging church movement. The name Wild Goose comes from a Celtic metaphor for the Holy Spirit. The Wild Goose Festival is inspired by and modelled after the popular Greenbelt festival in the United Kingdom. It is the only Christian music festival in the U.S. that caters to "theological liberals."

The words I've highlighted in bold type should be screaming out a clear warning to anyone who loves the pure and uncompromised true Gospel of Jesus Christ!

The festival is much more than music. It has a whole raft of speakers, and the reality of the matter is that anything goes. And when I say anything goes, I really do mean ANYTHING! Take, for example:

The Carnival de Resistance


The organizers describe it thus:

"The Carnival de Resistance is an "art intervention" experiment, a rip in the veil, throwing off the yoke of social niceties, restless sanitation, and religious piety to provide a raucous expression of grief and longing and hope for Creation. The Carnival de Resistance is an arts carnival, a school, and a village demonstration project. Using symbols, song, theater, poetry, music & dance, the Carnival makes "church" happen under the Big Top, and then spills out shape-shifting-trickster style to engage with all using games, performance and interactive art projects."

OK. If that description hasn't done quite enough to convince you that this has nothing whatsoever to do with Christianity and everything to do with 'New Age' abominations, then just check out how each day of this "raucous expression" commences:

"Morning Meditations of Earth, Body & Soul
We will start our days at the Carnival with exercises and reflections to shake up and wake up your body, heart and mind. Come join our morning prayer times as we focus our Spirits through Qigong, poetry, sacred song and earth conscious meditations."

THIS IS ALL 'NEW AGE' PAGANISM, WITCHCRAFT, OCCULTISM, MYSTICISM AND THE "EMERGING CHURCH"... OF LUCIFER!

Deeply worrying is that they are targeting CHILDREN with this!



Healthy fun for the youngsters at this year's festival includes morning yoga sessions, story time with Emerging Church leader Doug Pagitt and "Christian atheist" (???) Frank Schaeffer, writing protest songs and "making mandalas as a spiritual practice!"

The Wild Goose Festival warmly embraces the wildest and the whackiest and the worst of  all that passes for 21st. century "Christianity!" Here it can be seen exactly how deranged and degenerate are the Emerging Church leaders like Brian McLaren and Doug Pagitt, who are prominent participants in this repugnant Hell-birthed extravaganza!

One of this year's other featured speakers...

WHILST I WOULD NOT NORMALLY FOCUS ON AN EVENT TAKING PLACE IN THE USA, IT HAS BEEN PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT TO DO SO HERE, FOR IT HIGHLIGHTS QUITE CONCLUSIVELY THE TERRIBLE TRUTH THAT THE "WILD GOOSE" CONCEPT IS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, AND EVERYTHING TO DO WITH WHAT THE APOSTLE JOHN DESCRIBED AS "THAT SPIRIT OF ANTICHRIST, WHEREOF YE HAVE HEARD THAT IT SHOULD COME; AND EVEN NOW ALREADY IS IT IN THE WORLD!" (1 John 4:3)

The Wild Goose and Witchcraft

The goose has long been associated with WITCHCRAFT, which sees it as representing feminine power. Most informative is this description found on the Museum of Witchcraft site:

"In the West Country witches make (Note use of present, not past tense!) use of geese in many ways when working at their craft, for to them geese are endowed with numerous magical qualities and have played an age-old part in the domestic mythology of the western counties. The origin of Mother Goose is almost certainly the Central European Goddess Holda. Night-flying wild geese were believed to be Holda and her spirit companions flying through the sky."

N.B. The "goddess" could take on the form of a goose. Does the "shape-shifting" reference in the Carnival de Resistance's description of itself become a little more meaningful now?




This Holda connection is really quite significant; it might perhaps be obvious to some, but also easily missed by others, so it's worth making the point here that a GOOSE is essentially FEMALE, as the MALE of the species is a GANDER! To call the Third Person of the Trinity a Wild GOOSE is to label Him FEMALE! This ties in completely with the occultic notion of the "sacred feminine," the "goddess," but utterly contradicts how the Creator describes HIMself! Oh, the great subtlety of Satanic deception...



Wild Welsh Women and the Wild Goose!

OK. Back to Wales now, to show that this Wild Goose chase is happening right here! Take this bulletin from Cardiff's 'Company of Burning Hearts' (COBH) announcing this "colourful feast of joy... to kick start 2014" as they billed it:

"This is going to be a really fun weekend for all you wild Goose chasers out there! Hosted by Jane Schroeder and Friends this is one that's definitely not a run of the mill event! Wild Welsh Women is a gathering to release the indigenous in the land and to gather those who love to drink from the deep wells of Spirit Life."

COBH is a group who I can simply best describe as D.D.T., that is to say Demonic Deception Traffickers! Their "Spirit Life" is a riotous party-time, with their masquerade guests being demons from the depths of Hell!

An article on COBH appeared on this blog last September, and can be found at:


Latter Rain-fall over Wales

Returning to the supposedly God-given "prophetic word" of Kathie Walters, let's look for a moment at the essence of its content: an anointing starting in Canada flowing across the Atlantic to Wales and the rest of the UK. Are there any indications of such an anointing occurring? Well... only a bogus Satanic one...

Photo

Back in 1948 Canada gave birth to the Latter Rain movement, which was instrumental in laying down so very much of the false foundation of the apostasy-ridden Church that we see today. One of its notable far-reaching errors was the "restoration" of the Five-Fold ministry, a pyramid structure of Church control (I use the term 'control' advisedly) with "Apostles" at the top of the tree and "Prophets" as second-in-command. Interestingly, two of the key players in British Restorationism were Welshmen, the brothers Bryn and Keri Jones from Aberdare, who have had a profound influence on the movement throughout the UK from a base established in Bradford. Bryn is now deceased, but Keri retains "Apostolic" authority over the All Nations Church in Cardiff. Many churches in Wales - as elsewhere - now hold to a Restorationist ideology, which goes hand-in-glove with the grievous error of Dominionism (aka 'Kingdom Now') with its lying promise of a great global End-Times revival, and a Church triumphant over all ares of society.

Also noteworthy in this context is an American lady describing herself as being in the Five-Fold office of "Prophet," Mary 'Moriah' Burt, who runs 'Word and Spirit International Ministries' from her base on the North Wales coast. Apparently called 'Moriah' by God (Er... who says?) she is heavily influenced by the counterfeit Brownsville, Pensacola Outpouring, and by 'Signs & Wonders' merchant Bill Johnson's notorious Bethel Chuch in Redding, California.

Which brings me to the other massively influential movement to emerge from Canada: the so-called Toronto Blessing, which is in reality one of the worst delusions ever to have taken hold in the professing Church. This utterly false "anointing" is promoted big-time by great Bill Johnson aficionados New Wine Cymru, and is inseparable from the ecumenical Alpha Course deception. A recent most regrettable resurgence of this counterfeit spirit was to be found at the much-hyped "Welsh Outpouring" at Cwmbran, under the (mis)leadership of Richard Taylor and Andrew Parsons. Let us not forget, either, that the appalling Todd Bentley, who has held a week-long crusade in Wales - also in Cwmbran! - is a Canadian!

Conclusion

That which Canada has spiritually exported to Wales and the UK  is most definitely not of the HOLY Spirit, but of a most UNHOLY one! Of the Walters "prophecy," Steve Schultz commented: "It's about time you can go on a WILD GOOSE CHASE and it's a GOOD THING!"  Er... no, Steve, it's an exceedingly BAD thing! It leads to every kind of extra-Biblical excess that springs from the flesh, sensual and sinful, and is the broad road that leads only to destruction!

As noted in this article, the "Wild Goose" fable has been taken to heart by the Emerging/Emergent Church movement, spearheaded by notable apostates like Brian McLaren and Doug Pagitt. With this observation and warning to the Body, I conclude here with this little video which was originally made for and posted on my YouTube Channel:
