CLEDDAU COMMUNITY CHURCH OF MILFORD HAVEN - FALSE PROPHETS AND THE NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION HERESY.

"My kingdom is NOT of this world."

(Jesus Christ, quoted in John 18:36)

Never mind what Jesus Himself said concerning His kingdom NOT being of this world. Dominionists have their own ideas about that. THEY are going to bring the kingdom in THEMSELVES! And it is very much a kingdom of this world, taking control of every area of human existence on the planet, and all PRIOR to Christ's return. It is THEY and not JESUS who are victorious. Biblical eschatology means a big fat zero to them. They are "the King's kids," drenched by the Latter Rain. They are the mighty and unstoppable Joel's Army, on the march to infinite glory. They are the New Apostolic Reformation, and they have a mandate to rule. Theirs is the great "Kingdom Now" HERESY...

This is the second time that a warning about the Cleddau Community Church in Milford Haven will have been issued in these columns, the first being in connection with their hosting of the NAR's beloved false prophetess Cindy Jacobs last October:

On 29th. and 30th. April, this desperately undiscerning church is holding a 2-day 'Apostolic Prophetic Prayer School' to be run by Marty Cassidy and Raymond Banks from Chuck Pierce's Glory of Zion International Ministries. False prophet Chuck Pierce of 'Elijah List' infamy, like Cleddau's feted recent guest Cindy Jacobs, is one of the principal leaders of what has become known as the New Apostolic Reformation, a term coined by C. Peter Wagner who is recognized as the "top dog" of this particular pack of barking deceivers. NAR theology is more commonly known as Restorationism or the British New Church Movement here in the UK, but interestingly the Cleddau outfit displays a distinct taste for the heresy's American flavour, as evidenced by the Jacobs jamboree and now this 'Prayer School' to be taught by two of Chuck Pierce's own lieutenants.

Who is Marty Cassidy? Having previously worked alongside the aforementioned "Apostle" C. Peter Wagner and his wife Doris at their Global Harvest Ministries in Colorado Springs, Ms. Cassidy now works for Glory of Zion and sits on its Board of Directors; she is affiliated to Global Spheres, a sister organization also headed up by Pierce and out of whose HQ in Corinth, Texas, she operates. Having been mentored both by the Wagners and by Pierce, she can be confidently relied upon by them to properly deliver the NAR's Dominionist goods wherever she goes.

Who is Raymond Banks? Well, apparently he's an "ordained prophet" under Chuck Pierce and Glory of Zion and Global Spheres. Of course, in reality there's actually no such thing as an "ordained prophet," but why let a little fact like that get in the way of a good delusion? He sits on numerous "Ministry Boards" and "Apostolic Councils" (deception distribution co-operatives) and is also - in classic NAR terminology - a "marketplace minister" who owns many businesses. In other words, he is a serial "Christian entrepreneur," doing his bit to reclaim Mount Business (which can be seen on the extreme left in the picture below).

So what is this Apostolic Prophetic Prayer School's precise purpose? It's to teach people how to "PRAY IN" the kingdom of God. This is all about the supposed reclaiming of the world, planting a flag atop each peak of the Dominionist range of 7 mountains so that when Jesus sees that they have all been conquered, He can then return to a throne won for Him. 

YOU CANNOT "PRAY IN" SOMETHING THAT IS TOTALLY AGAINST GOD'S WILL AND SOVEREIGN PLAN! The physical kingdom of God on earth is not established until Jesus Himself physically returns to defeat Antichrist and to commence His Millennial reign in the prophetic fulfillment of the Feast of Tabernacles. If folks were to read and pay heed to the words of Holy Writ, rather than the words of self-proclaimed "Apostles/Prophets" like C. Peter Wagner and Chuck Pierce and their apostate acolytes, they would find that when the Bible speaks of seven mountains (in Revelation 17:9) in direct relation to the coming Tribulation and return of the Lord, it is in reference to them being sat upon by "the great whore" church of Antichrist: "MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH." Assuredly it is NOT the kingdom of GOD that is being "prayed in" and constructed as they claim, but the empire of the ENEMY!

LET'S SAY IT AS IT IS. TO BE A DOMINIONIST, YOU HAVE TO DELIBERATELY BLIND YOURSELF TO EVERYTHING THAT IS HAPPENING IN THE WORLD TODAY, TOSS OUT TRUTH WITH THE TRASH AND REPLACE GOD-BREATHED SCRIPTURAL PROPHECY WITH FLESH-FORGED FALSE PROPHECY, AND ELEVATE MAN AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS CREATOR AND REDEEMER! YOU HAVE TO ADOPT AN ALTERNATIVE REALITY, WHICH IS NOUGHT BUT A MYTH AND A MIRAGE!

 

TO BE A DOMINIONIST, YOU HAVE TO WILFULLY TAKE A CENSOR'S SCISSORS TO THE SCRIPTURES! AND WHAT DOES THE WORD DECLARE ABOUT SUCH A THING?

"And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book."

(Revelation 22:19)

I sadly find it necessary to repeat the warning given in my previous article on Cindy Jacobs: 

RED ALERT! CLEDDAU COMMUNITY CHURCH IS AN ESTABLISHED CENTRE IN WALES FOR PROMOTING FALSE PROPHETS AND THE NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION'S HERETICAL, RADICALLY RE-DEFINED "CHRISTIANITY." FOR THE SAKE OF YOUR SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING, AVOID IT AT ALL COSTS!

"And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many."

(The Lord's warning in Matthew 24:11)

SOME THOUGHTS ON "THE WELSH OUTPOURING," 2 YEARS ON.

Wednesday, April 10th. 2013, marked the start of the so-called "Welsh Outpouring" at Victory Church in Cwmbran, at that time firmly under the (mis)leadership of Messrs. Richard Taylor and Andrew Parsons. Now, two years on, both have departed; one was pushed, the other jumped, and protege Kenny Brandie has also jumped, throwing in his lot with another grievous deception north of the Scottish border, namely "Apostle" Andrew Owen's Restorationist Destiny Church movement.

What of Richard Taylor and Andrew Parsons, who had prophesied to themselves that they would lead the greatest revival the world has ever known? The orchestrated "Welsh Outpouring" never went beyond Cwmbran, and rather than being the start of their great global revival, just fizzled out like a damp squib. Why? Because it was never of God in the first place. It was just another episode in the sad saga of the demonic Toronto Blessing-that-was-actually-a-curse, another manifestation of the same spirit behind other false "outpourings" like Lakeland and Pensacola. Not without significance, one of the main players in the Brownsville, Pensacola delusion was none other than Tommy Tenney, who just happened to be Richard Taylor's friend and mentor! But nobody wanted to join the dots. It was party time in Cwmbran, and nobody at Victory Church wanted anyone to rain on their parade!

Richard Taylor, the "Master Thief" of Channel 5 hype, was dismissed by Elim for sexual misconduct. Andrew Parsons remains in charge of the Victory Outreach UK charity, and continues to brazenly masquerade as a man of God with his 'Andrew Parsons Ministries.' He continues to blasphemously claim for himself the MESSIANIC prophecy of Psalm 2:8. Both these aberrant - and dare I say abhorrent - individuals have utterly failed to take on board the Scriptural warning:

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

(Galatians 6:7)

Taylor has already come badly unstuck. So too will Parsons. God is not mocked. Period. But Taylor's sexual misconduct did not suddenly happen out of the blue. It's a common enough pattern. If we look at other men of ministry who have also fallen in such a way, we see that their physical acts of unrighteousness are consequential to having already gone down the route of spiritual infidelity. As Jacob Prasch has so rightly taught concerning our armour, when the belt of truth is unbuckled, the breastplate of righteousness falls to the ground. When truth is pushed aside in favour of error, you're on a downward spiral to disaster. When flesh comes to the fore, you are no longer operating in the Spirit of God, but are subject to a false spirit. There are three great temptations: money, power and sex. Taylor fell at all three hurdles. Like the dog of 2 Peter 2:22 he returned to his vomit. It is a sad and sobering story that we would all do well to learn from. We are IN the world, but we are not OF the world. We are just sojourning here, having been purchased with a price.

Has Richard Taylor repented? Truly repented? Only the Lord knows the answer to that one. Is what he's most sorry about the fact that he got caught? I'm sure I don't know. Only God can judge a man's heart. But in noting the very real similarities between the "Welsh Outpouring" and Todd Bentley's "Lakeland Revival" I can only hope and pray that we don't witness a similar outcome. Bentley was officially "restored" to ministry (by other apostates, of course!) after sexual sin, and nothing has changed in essence. Sly Todd has continued happily and unhindered along his witch-doctor way, and is now deceiving Africa massively...

* * * * *

Taylor now has his own blog: http://www.pastorrichardtaylor.blogspot.co.uk/

 I will make four observations about it:

1) His user name is 'pastorrichardtaylor.' He was sacked by Elim, thus forfeiting any right to call himself "Pastor" but he obviously hasn't accepted this fact. The foundation of any blog is its user name. And he has chosen what is frankly a lie and a deceit as his blog's foundation.

2) The blog is totally egocentric. It's all about him. And what is very worrying indeed is that he says he has NO REGRETS...

3) He actually has the audacity to have a "Donate" button (to him and his family) on the blog. This is the man who proudly drove a Porsche with personal plates, while residents of the VOUK hostels had to accept the basics of life and hand over almost all their State benefits. No surprise, then, to find that Taylor's a fan of "prosperity gospel" guru T. D. Jakes.

4) The very first blogpost, referring to the "Welsh Outpouring" (as a Revival!) perpetuates the deeply deceptive myth that it was a move of God. 

People may draw their own conclusions.

* * * * *

And what of Victory Church? Well, they quietly dropped any reference to the supposed 50/10 church-planting vision, and - probably out of understandable embarrassment - chose to remain tight-lipped over the fact that those "campuses" that had been created saw a significant split, with the establishment of a breakaway Victory Alliance group of churches. Cwmbran never made any public announcement that Taylor had departed, never mind offering any apology for his unrighteous actions. The leadership was never prepared to address issues of concern, or answer any legitimate questions. I don't know what happened to the principle of being answerable to the wider Body...

They all revelled in their supposed outpouring/revival-that-wasn't, and despite all that has transpired they remain locked in denial. It would be nice to think that Victory Church has turned a corner, but I can't help but have my doubts that the corner has been completely and successfully negotiated. They really need to now exercise some long-overdue discernment, give ecumenism and false teachers like Tommy Tenney the elbow, face hard facts and demonstrate some accountability and a willingness to be honest and open. If, as the old saying goes, they don't learn from history, they are doomed to repeat it. Let's hope for the best. Only time will tell...

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat."

(Matthew 7:13)

RIVERCAMP LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE, MAY 2015, WITH BILL JOHNSON, THE RESTORATIONIST AND DOMINIONIST DECEIVER - ELIM'S DEADLY EMBRACE OF LYING SIGNS AND WONDERS.

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears."

(2 Timothy 4:3)

Bethel Church in Redding, California, is an extraordinarily powerful, Signs and Wonders-fueled bulldozer. And "Apostle" Bill Johnson is its utterly reckless driver. Man and machine are at the very forefront of pushing forward the heavily contaminated soil of Restorationism and Dominionism, effectively covering up both sound doctrine and sanity in a supposed reclaiming of our "Christian" inheritance, and the building of Heaven on Earth... a "Heaven" which in reality has a far greater resemblance to Hell!

Bill Johnson's Bethel has either itself initiated, or otherwise embraced and promoted some of the most grievous errors and deceptions to be found in what passes for evangelical Christianity today, and it cannot be stressed enough that Senior Pastor Bill Johnson is one of the most dangerous End-Times deceivers around!

Yet in their infinite lack of wisdom, and having scattered any last remaining particles of discernment to the four winds, this is the man who Elim, as represented by their Metropolitan West Region, has seen fit to be the key player in their RIVERCAMP LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE 2015 on May 18th - 19th at Ealing Christian Centre.

Bill Johnson has sung the praises of - and flaunted his involvement with - the likes of the great "seed-faith" scam merchant Oral Roberts and Word of Faith colossus and convicted multi-million dollar church funds embezzler David Yonggi Cho, who he has called "amazing." He calls the likes of the appalling "New Mystic" John Crowder, and the fake healer and adulterer Todd Bentley of Lakeland infamy, his friends; in fact he was one of the men who saw fit to "restore" Bentley to ministry, so he could continue to massively inject his poison, particularly into the spiritual bloodstream of Africa. Consider this video quote of his buddy John Crowder, if you will, as he kneels at the grave of John Alexander Dowie, a most notorious forerunner of all that is false in the "Church" today:

"We've just come to the grave today to release to you an impartation of healing revival, of city-building restoration, city-taking anointing, master-building apostolic anointing, and so we just rip it right out of the ground, we just suck it right off his dead bones, in Jesus' name, and loose it to you, a healing, revival glory, master-building, apostolic anointing glory!"
(Source: https://youtu.be/AbrHAFAwSc4 )

This is the sick practice known as grave-sucking, very popular with students of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, such as those here seen on a mission trip to Loughor in South Wales, engaged in sucking up Evan Roberts' anointing from his grave! If this picture doesn't absolutely horrify you...

What have we come to when such things are unquestioningly accepted in evangelical circles? What has Elim here in the UK come to, when necromancy is a "normal" practice of young people at the church led by the man who they are delighted to have as main speaker at a Leadership Conference of theirs? Is not something terribly, terribly wrong here?

The sad fact is that Elim has been on a slippery slope for many years now. Its dramatic downward spiral can be traced back at least as far as the so-called Toronto Blessing of the 1990s, in reality one of the most grievous curses ever to have been inflicted on the Faith. Instead of denouncing it as a thoroughly Satanic deception, Elim leaders like Colin Dye and Wynne Lewis wholeheartedly embraced and endorsed its demonic drunkenness, and effectively partnered with this alien spirit emanating from the pit of Hell! And it is this selfsame lying spirit which has continued to wreak havoc to this day, mutating and mushrooming along the way, manifesting itself through some of Charismania's choicest front-men, like Todd Bentley and his champion, the discernment-devoid, Dominionist and Restorationist, "anything goes" Mr. Bill Johnson. The damage done to genuine, Bible-based Christianity has been incalculable. And Elim, regrettably but undeniably, have been and continue to be complicit in fanning the flames of this "strange fire."

The Gospel is Good News. Johnson's Bethel is exceedingly bad news! Fire tunnels, wind gusts, gold fillings and gold dust, glory clouds and angel feathers, "inner healing" and grave-sucking, waking up sleeping angels and using tuning forks for prophetic purposes (no, I don't know how either!) are just some of the ingredients bubbling away in Bethel's big cauldron of counterfeit Christianity.

Let's say it as it is. The type of practice and experiential religiosity of Johnson's Bethel Church in Redding, is indistinguishable from that of the NEW AGE movement.  Which is, quite simply WITCHCRAFT, just re-branded and re-marketed with a more palatable identity. This is as serious as it gets, my friends. 

Moreover, Bill Johnson teaches that Jesus did not become Christ until his baptism, having laid His divinity aside. In other words, when He was born of Mary He was not Jesus Christ come in the flesh, just Jesus of Nazareth. Concerning such a denial, 1 John 4:1-3 affirms that this is the spirit of antichrist! Furthermore, Johnson claims that Jesus Himself had to be born again! (Which means that our Saviour Himself had to be saved, or otherwise be condemned to Hell!) Please read and heed this direct warning from the Word of God concerning such renegades as Bill Johnson:

"Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; 

AND AVOID THEM."

(Romans 16:17) 

P.S. Cost of this 2-day event? Sixty quid no less! Sixty shiny, silver pound coins. That's thirty pieces of silver a day... Now, where have I come across that before...?

The 'S.S. Elim' at full steam...
