I’ve been researching Cleasing Stream and now I know it is dangerous and demonic teaching that needs to be cleansed from the church of Jesus Christ. Those who are in this lie of Satan, need to look at Romans 6, and other scriptures on the Sanctification the entire human being. No Christian can be demons possessed and the thought of it is an insult to the God Head. Cleansing Stream is really good secular psychology that adds paganism with New Age thought…no-where have ever heard of similar teaching but in the New Age movement. The battle is not with Demons, when you struggle with sin, the battle is with the flesh. Read Paul’s own testimony to this In the Book of Romans. Why does Cleansing Stream rely on experience and conjecture rather than the word of GOD? Anyways, I will writing an article on this and it will be open to discussion.
The Previous Post was left on a website in support of the Cleansing Stream but I fear they will likely delete it.
Upcoming discussion will look at this dangerous movement.
Sometimes I like to write fiction stories with some sort of idea that I have had. The following is the beginning of one such story. It is a work in progrss and will likely change but by no means of the imagination is it the end of the story...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In 1947 an unidentifiable craft crashed in New Mexico and in 1969, Neil Armstrong landed on the moon planting a flag of American Imperialism and glory. Doing so emphasized the myth of American greatness and independence from tyrants. The years following did nothing to change this fact. The whole world seamed self-consumed with internal conflict and war. In Genesis 3, Eve gave Adam fruit from the forbidden trees because he believed that by doing so, he would become like God, knowing good from evil. Truly, learning for all time what it means to be consumed by pride and the evil such sin brings. Following this the seed of Satan killed Abel, symbolizing the essence of the internal war all humans fight daily. Cain continued to live simply because of mercy but his legacy of evil continued with him. Lamech demonstrated the continued depravity of human reason, when killed multiple people and bragged about it to his wives. Following this Cain’s descendants continued on in developing a culture of shadows and sin, so much so, that in Genesis 6 GOD flooded the whole world destroying mans with it. Noah and his family alone survived this bringing with them the memories of evil. However, only a few generations later, mankind again held by pride. God confused language, and in turn man continued to fall into further corruption, held by the darkness of the heart. In 1947 and 1969, we witnessed yet another example the pride and corruption. Mankind was held by fascination for that which comes from the darkness of the sky. Invaders entered our solar system and in turn landed on the moon. There they began to build a city on our moon. Building beneath the surface allowed that humanity would not know of their existence. Nations trampled each other down, all in accordance to a shadow empire waiting their time to strike, to bring down their greatest secret and weapon. The Vatican knew about them, Solomon is said to have known, truly every ancient society knew of them. Yet when they came, we were not ready. They had traveled distant oceans of stars arriving here searching for their long lost paradise. The truth about which they really were, forever lost to the ages. So much so, was the conspiracy surrounding them that even after the arrived, we could not see it for what it really was. The seed of Satan, the shadows, had completely blinded us to the truth. So when David became Prime Minister of the Remnant Nation of Canada being born of Aboriginal blood and being an orphan, his goal was to see freedom for the Canadian people. In those days, the Shadows easily abducted people from where ever they wanted and took them to the moon. There they were forced to work, genetically re-engineered by them to achieve their goal of building their capital on the moon, the one place, where the resisting nations could not easily attack them. David was also a rare person, he had become a Christian an unpopular religion by this time. However, his victory over the Separatist of Trois River whom had decided to make a deal with the Invaders was hailed as a miracle. When he defeated the Invaders in direct battle just north of North Bay Ontario, it too was revered as a miracle, this was good for his reputation. No one had at this point managed to gain a direct victory over the Shadows. Helping this were the Toronto Pentecostal Revivals lead by Pastor Mike Grady the same year. Also, there was a now famous church planter, Pat Weber, who had managed to build up many churches in the country. This gave the highly religious David a foundation of support to win the office of Prime Minister. The military victories over the enemy gave him a reputation and the very missionary Christians sent out by Weber Ministry and the disciples of Pastor Grady spread this reputation throughout North America. David then ensured his hold on political power by stealing technology from the Invaders and using it to develop defensive capabilities not available prior to this. However, his greatest success was yet to come. While still Prime Minister, word had come to David through rumor that New York City, one of that truly free republics in the area, was being targeted by dictators who had made an alliance with the Invaders and therefore worked as servants of the Shadows. Not knowing for certain, he recruited a small force of 500 men and marched down to New York City. He took the city without resistance and provided it defense against a joint attack by the shadows and General Crapshooter. The Citizens of New York, accepted David’s gift of protection and nick named him King David of Canada. Neither Shadows nor Generals whom had become bent on building empires of there own dared to attack Canada or any of David’s Allies. This gave the newly formed Canadian Empire freedom to grow and rebuild adding territory to their power every year. Many of these were former Provinces wanting freedom from dictators and former states of the U.S.A. Joining the New Dominion of Canada came with it the certainty that at least for a time, a city, or state or province would be able to rebuild. Then came the saying, all roads go to Ottawa. David was considered a benevolent dictator and the media rarely chose to attack him. However, politically, there were those who would love to see David lose the office of PMO. They waited patiently for this opportunity. There were also Liberals who wanted to make peace with the Invaders to ensure that the Invaders would not come back. All citizens of the Dominion feared the day when David was gone, or defeated. Even with enhanced technology, it would only be a matter of time before they would come in full force. The Prime Minister, felt it was best to rely on GOD. The religious loved this sentiment but the secularists hated it. Also, the people were tired of war, everyone knew this but David refused to work for peace. He would say, "these invaders and their puppets never cared for peace with us when we were beaten down and our cities ruined. What makes you think they want it now?" His opposition would say. "What David you think you can conquer all the world and keep it safe from the Shadows?" His answer was always the same, "it is my job, to protect Canada and her people and defend them I will."
This Song/Poem had been on my mind alot lately on and off. I originally wrote it about several months ago for my church. It was sung and well recieved by the congregation.
Here it is:
(Verse 1)
Down the mountain, I did fall!
In the vallley, I did crawl.
In fear, I did call,
"Redeemer, redeem me
I'm searching for your mercy Lord
I'm searching for the Mercy Maker."
(Chorus)
Justifiable, Judge justly judging me
Judging by your words, I am just a sinful, sinner.
Just a criminal guilty in every way
Evil in every way
Now, I'm searching for your mercy Lord
Searching for your mercy,
I'm searching for the Mercy Maker
(Verse 2)
In the valley, I did know
So, up the mountain I did go
Searching for your mercy Lord
In despair I did call,
"Redeemer, redeem me
Justifiable are your ways
And I'm guilty in every way"
(Verse 3)
Up the mountain, I did climb.
In my heart was this ryme
In my words I did cry,
"Redeemer, redeem me"
In the shadows,
I felt the death that was made for me
Down these roads and at the top
In repentance, I saw the sentence
Of the cross.
Yet, on this cross you did toss
My sin you bore for me
"Redeemer, redeem me"
As A Pastor and an everyday person, I am always so shocked at the non-sense that people place around Christmas. Some say, "don't call it Christmas, you do not want to offend Muslims or Jews." True, you don't but come one, its Christmas. Its a day, set aside by the Christian community to remember our great savior. You don't here Christian going to Guru group and saying, "don't name the holiday surrounding this particular Guru that, you don't want to offend us and others, just give it a secular name, ok." True Christmas has been a forcably colonized holiday, been hijack by the secular business world. Yes, it has also been in recent years been a time shared with other faiths, and holidays but for the Christian, it is a day to celebrate to Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ.
Moving on lets realize that Christmas is a time for the faithful of Christ to remember and celebrate the birth of the Jewish king. However, alot of non-sense has happens around Christmas, such as gift giving. It's rather a nice idea and one that should be done all year round. Meeting up with family only once a year is also non-sense because we have 50 other weeks to do that but are too lazy, busy, or simply not interrested. The biggest non-sense I see is those who attend Christmas Eve Services because they want to clean their souls for the end of the year but dont forget to keep it clean. This is sad, beacuse those who do this have such a bad understanding of Christian belief. They miss the point that a Christmas Eve service is for the faithful to enjoy and celebrate. The world has created a secular version of Christmas, why do you now decide to include GOD into your secular lives?
Growing Faith the other thing that troubles me about Christmas is New Years resolutions. Christmas eve, we stuff ourselves silly, making gluttons of ourselves but decide while drinking too much on December 1st that starting the next day January 1st to stop smoking, drinking, and doing foolishness for the rest of the entire new year. Yet, sadly, that promise turns into another new year lie.
The One Thing I Wish For You stop the yearly cycle of nonsense and begin to understand that Christmas is a time to have joy and celebrate that you have been priviledged to be able to become a CHristian in a country where you will not be killed for it. Go to church more than one time a year and begin to have a real faith in GOD. If you make a resolution this new year, it should be this, to keep the faith. So, back to being jolly.
Let me conclude by wishing you Merry CHRISTmas and a faithful new year.
In Canada the whole issue brought forth by the Grassley 6, which is one of integrity and not creating the appearance of evil, has basically not been taken. I wonder if the very Secular Canadian Media will only pay attention when and if, one-or-more are sent to prison. Personally, I too want to believe their innocents. Yet, my research has brought up some very scary teaching in their movement. There is definitely an appearance of evil. That does not take a special investigator to determine and I do realize the over all complexity of the situation. However, in my mind, maybe not yours, I can not help but think about THE USA's overwhelming response to the evil done by a Muslim monster who hijacked planes and crashed them killing innocent people on September 11. I remember that day, as all that were around to watch it on CNN would. Personally, I have come to believe that these Grassley 6 have done something remarkable in our time. Just like I think Bin Laden did something remarkably evil in our time. The Grassley 6 like Bin Laden have managed to hijack the faith of there choosing to meet personal gains and ends. In Canada we have the MelinChucks (spelling may be wrong for the name so forgive me) who have done the same thing. I as a pastor have watched the results of these prosperity gospel mongrels and their followers. Perhaps, you have too; they worship them, not even wanting to question them. The reason, fear! They fear them because they claim to be the LORDS ANNOINTED! I remember one day not many months ago, I was on a TTC bus in TORONTO, and was talking to a friend of mine about the very issues we are discussing here. Muslim, Hindu, who knows what else in a position to hear. I made a blatant comment about Mohammed being evil and a false prophet. The Muslims, which out numbered me, said nothing and ignored it. Yet, when I made a comment of concern about the Benni Hinn Ministry to my friend, a Hinn worshiper verbally assaulted me. Telling me that by attacking Benni Hinn I would bring the very wrath of GOD down onto me. After about a minute or two of her "do not touch the LORDS ANNOINTED" poorly understood theology, my friend speaks up saying, "you know he's not attacking Benni Hinn only telling me what people are saying, he too is a pastors". That same woman shrank back perhaps the very thought of attacking another of the LRODS ANNOINTED (Me being a pastor) scared her silly. She shrank back, and we continued on with our night. What this tells me is how much power the Grassley 6 have. I know another woman who has literally destroyed her family, finances, all in the dream of being Joyce Myers or the next Benni Hinn. Tell me how is this GOD? I am honestly concerned about the overwhelming reality these Grassley 6 represent. A Christianity that is now above accountability and can no longer is challenged on the basis of being the "LORDS ANNOINTED". It means that people like Benni Hinn are as dangerous as that of Binn Laden. Thank GOD on high that the Grassley 6 are more benevolent that the alternative example given. You may rightly ask me why? Well, the answer is plain to me...I would rather someone be out for my grandmothers well intended money than her life. Not that I am suggesting that the Grassley 6 are innocent or guilty, that only time can tell. However, if they are guilty, their crime is far less evil than that of Mohammed's followers. The Grassley 6, need to play the humble card. You see the world is watching and many souls are following them. My advices to the ‘6’ give Grassley your finances, make the changes that are required admit any wrong he suggests and repent. Following this move on with your life and hopefully, your ministry will stand the test and trial before it. By the way, count it a pleasure that you've been counted worthy by GOD TO be corrected, rebuked, tested, and persecuted because GOD only punishes those he loves...and if GOD loves you BENNI, he will correct you, or did you forget that lesson from your bible college and theology training - wait many of the Grassley 6 admit to not being trained, so I would also suggest training, but not at ORAL ROBERTS UNIVERSITY!

This is my first attempt at something like this...I have in the past posted to others as responder to them. I am a huge student of scriptural evangelism. I began my search by asking a simple question: how did Paul do evangelism? Also, what direct or indirect messages did he give in his writing to encourage and teach his students on how to share their faith? Have you ever wondered what the Original Evangelist told people or how they said it? Perhaps you are a convert from a major crusade and the only referance you have are telavangelists and crusader style evangelism. Perhaps, you are more educated on the topin and aware of styles and techinques such as taught by the not so biblical Rick Warren or Bill Hybbels (sorry if spelling for their names is wrong). This may shock you but the corporate world for which I am hugely apart of has influenced church evangelism. Tell me do you think this is ok?
Anyways, my whole question is this, what does scripture say is true and biblical evangelism is? Seeing that Evangelism is such a huge part of church life and I am endeavouring to grow my knowledge of this important ministry. In light of the currect impact of the Grassley 6 in the USA, I also wanted to start searching scripture on what biblical evangelism is and is not. In the past, my research allowed me to gain a basic understand and I have made it simple. I call it Histribe:His truth revealed in blood everywhere and the basic premise is this, it takes a nation to reach a nation but what this means is that every believer has a part in the "making disciples" process. When each part of the body supports the evangelism and the evangelist (those specifically called to reach out to the lost). The church becomes an extremely effective against Satan and his fources. However what does this look like?
Please feel free to respond to this question but keep some basic rules: back every thought with scripture and sight every source, reagardless of what your source is. Also take credit for what you say.
Keep the Faith
