// THE FALSE & MANIFESTATIONS \\
A CENTRAL NEW YORK TELEVISION STATION NEWS BROADCAST VISITED A CHURCH HOLDING REVIVAL SERVICES. THE CAMERA FOCUSED IN ON AMONG OTHER THINGS A MAN ON THE CHURCH PLATFORM IN A CROUCHED, SQUATTED POSITION GOING ACROSS THE PLATFORM HOPPING UP AND DOWN LIKE A FROG.
ANIMAL MANIFESTATIONS. THE TV CREW INTERVIEWED THE PEOPLE THERE. THEY SAID THIS IS OF GOD. IS IT? REALLY?

WHAT DID GOD ESTABLISH?
Genesis 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth."
27 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth."
GOD GAVE MAN DOMINION OVER EVERY LIVING THING NOT ANIMAL DOMINION OVER MAN.
Very important point to be made here. Man can think this or that or another thing so
much for man. It is not what man thinks but it is what God says that counts.

Psalm 8:4 What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; you have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen-- even the beasts of the field,
8A The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea (NKJ)

CHARLES BLAKE B.A., M.DIV., D.TH. COMMENTS ON VERSES 4-8 "MAN'S DOMINION OVER CREATION (HUMAN WORTH) NOT ONLY WAS MAN INTRINSICALLY DISTINCT FROM THE REST OF CREATION HE WAS GIVEN AUTHORITY OVER THE EARTH AND EVERYTHING UPON IT. MAN WAS MADE TO RULE."

HERE IS AN INTERESTING COMMENT ABOUT THE MANIFESTATIONS OF THE SPIRIT MADE BY DONALD PICKERILL B.TH, BA, MA, PROFESSOR AT LIFE BIBLE COLLEGE SAN DIMAS, CA
"UNLIKE PAGANISM THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES NOT DRIVE PEOPLE INTO WILD COMPULSIVE ACTS. HIS GENTLE DOVE LIKE MINISTRY STRENGTHENS HUMAN PERSONALITY."
HE EMPOWERS HE DOES NOT OVERPOWER
- ><> - ><> - - <>< - <>< -
In dealing with this subject it reminded me of a remark I heard Charles Capps make a long time ago. "Don't be like a Gronala bar for it is made up of fruit, nuts and flakes. Know what the word says."

ON OCT 30, '94 BY THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT THE LORD SAID TO THE CHURCH BODY AT VICTORY CHRISTIAN CENTER "THERE IS ALSO A COUNTERFEIT MOVING OUT THERE THAT IS AFFECTING MY PEOPLE. THEY SHAKE FOR DAYS AND WEEKS. THEY HOWL LIKE THEIR FATHER THE DEVIL. MANY OTHER SIGNS FOLLOW THIS MOVE."
THE LORD HAS BROUGHT THIS TO OUR ATTENTION MANY TIMES SINCE. HE GAVE US LAMENTATIONS 2:14. HE ALSO SAID THAT THOSE WHO HAVE THIS SPIRIT CANNOT BE DELIVERED UNLESS THEY WANT TO BE.
Lamentations 2:14 Thy prophets have seen vain and foolish things for thee: and they have not discovered thine iniquity, to turn away thy captivity; but have seen for thee false burdens and causes of banishment.
(KJV)

You believe it and you receive it! But if you continue on, it says, I gave dominion, I gave man dominion over all living things, over all the creatures, over all living things! Man is the only creature that I breathed the breath of life into! I created man in MY IMAGE! In MY IMAGE, I created man! And I gave man dominion over all things! I would say unto you, "Do you see man having dominion over the animal kingdom?" "Do you see it My Children?" Man is giving dominion to the animal kingdom! They don't want to kill them! They are out there protesting man killing them or doing any harm to them whatsoever! I say, it is a DECEPTIVE SPIRIT!! For did not Darwin, did not his theory say that man came from an animal? And you don't agree with that! You know it is false! And yet, now man is saying that man is going back to animals? That is the opposite end, the opposite spectrum of Darwin's theory! Do you hear what I am saying? That is the opposite spectrum of Darwin's theory and My People, My people, are saying it is of ME! ! THAT IS DISGUST IN MY EYES!! TO THINK THAT MY PEOPLE WOULD LOOK AND SAY, THAT IS OF GOD!! PEOPLE, OPEN YOUR SPIRITUAL EYES!! SEE IT FOR WHAT IT IS!! They say that they have no control over it! They are acting like animals and say that they cannot control it! What is happening?? Open your spiritual eyes! The animal is getting control over man!! It is the reverse of what I gave man in the beginning, when I created him! See it for what it is worth, My People! For I am showing you something here! I am showing you and opening onto you a great deception! See it for what it is! It is as bad as the Darwin theory! It is as evil as Darwin's theory of evolution! I say, open your eyes and don't fight against the leadership that takes control of it, that comes against it! The leadership that takes authority over it and binds it up!! Don't come against them but fall on your face before Me and REPENT, REPENT., REPENT!! For truly, it is the last days, it is the final hour and you need to be walking in My Spirit in such a great way that none of this takes you by surprise! In fact, that you take the enemy by surprise! That you take the enemy by surprise, that you see it coming and you take it by surprise! Yes, I gave the servant of mine, the very scripture to let her know that there was going to be an interruption in your service!! She knew ahead of time! And I say, it was there to verify that something was coming! That the enemy was bringing an attack but you stood, you stood, you stood and though you are getting attacked by many, they are going to see and they are going to recognize because begin to tell them, begin to tell them that this is animal taking dominion over man! Did I not say that man came from dust and to dust they shall return!? Are animals dust? I say, NO! They are not dust! They are animals! The very thing I created them. But I created man to have dominion over them! And When a man is acting like an animal and saying that they do not have control, that is contrary to My Word, Children!!! Do you hear Me! That is contrary to My Word!! So take heed! Take Heed and study My scriptures! Study them so you will know! You will deep within your heart! You will know deep within your Spirit Man, that IT IS NOT OF ME!! IT IS NOT OF ME!! And My People yes, even great leaders, need to know, need to know, that it is not of Me, Children! So press in, even greater!! Haven't I been telling you to press in and seek Me? And if you are doing that, you are not going to be deceived! You are going to know the truth from the error, so I say, Press in, press in and be that mighty army that I have called you to!!

EYEWITNESSES WARNINGS OF BROWNSVILLE, PENSACOLA (-UPDATED).
REPORT DATE: 4 FEB 1997.
FROM: MRS BARBARA L. (-USA).Reflections on the
Brownsville "revival" in Pensacola..
In the summer of 1996,
Charisma magazine published an extensive
article on the "revival" taking place at the Brownsville Assembly
of God in
Pensacola, Florida. Great care was given
to describe this
"revival"
as being quite different from the Toronto Blessing. Throughout the
article, it was claimed that this was in fact an authentic revival with
repentance and salvations occurring nightly.. in the tradition of the
great revivals of the past. I felt an urge by the Holy Spirit to make a
detour on my family vacation and visit the Brownsville Assembly of God.
So with great anticipation and expectation I arrived in Pensacola late on
a Friday evening in August. The next day we drove out to the barrier
islands that lie off the coast of Pensacola and witnessed the devastation
of two recent hurricanes that had come inland at Pensacola (a rare phenomenon
for two hurricanes to enter at the same point in such a short span of
time).
I felt the timing of these powerful storms and the "revival" taking
place were not coincidental and that the Lord was speaking to me through
things I was witnessing in the natural but I had no idea yet as to the
interpretation of these events. etc... etc.. I was still unsuspecting as to what
waited for me at the Brownsville Assembly of God. I got to the meeting
early, excited at the prospect of perhaps seeing a true revival,
something I know every believer of Jesus Christ longs to see in the
church. It is so desperately needed. As I talked with those waiting,
everyone encouraged us that our long trip would not be in vain, that we
would be greatly blessed. I purchased some booklets in the lobby excited
to learn more about what God was doing.
Finally, the meeting began with
worship. My excitement and enthusiasm quickly vanished. Something
seemed very wrong to me. I thought maybe I was expecting too much. The
worship was very typical of the modern contemporary worship that I had
been accustomed to, most of the songs familiar, but something didn't seem
right in the Spirit.. Then the manifestations
began. Young girls walking around
gesturing as though they were mentally ill. One of the worship leaders,
a female, collapsed on the floor during the worship where she
remained for a long time. I kept telling myself.. keep an open mind.
I kept asking God.. is this you.. if this is you, give me a peace in my
spirit. It never came. As the speakers
began to share, I became increasing disturbed. They spoke
of the mystical appearance
of
the river on that fateful Sunday in June of 1995 and how
its power swept into the building and changed everything. They
went on and on about
manifestations, particularly about bizarre behaviors in which
they
believed they were birthing things through intercession. The pastor's
wife spoke and the entire time she was on the platform she jerked
uncontrollably as she told stories of phenomenon. Finally, I could stand
it no longer. I looked at my family and said let's get out of here. They
were quick to agree. I left the materials that I had purchased on the
church parking lot. I didn't even want to take them in my car. At
first, I was devastated. I was so disappointed.. so confused. Why would
God send me to witness such a spectacle. I thought surely I missed God,
either in the decision to come.. or the decision to get up and leave. As
I wept before the Lord, sought His face over the next few days, I
realized why he had sent me. The hurricanes were a warning. Mighty storms
are devastating the church.. the storm generating from Pensacola, Florida
will be twice as devastating and will come in two phases.. like the two
hurricanes. Pensacola has already been the sight of great religious
deception with the murder of an abortion doctor. What is being heralded
as good is bringing untold destruction. I also realized that we
are about to enter a period
of "civil war" in the church, a battle between the true church of
true faith which will be like Fort Pickens and the deceived church in
rebellion and a counterfeit spirit
like the three forts which were taken over by enemy forces. Those who
know the truth, who are loyal to the kingdom, will be under great assault
but as we look to God, look to the sea of His faithfulness, we too will
be supplied and we will be able to stand and be victorious in the end.
The deceptive power of the enemy is
awesome and adaptive. The folks promoting Pensacola are cleverly
answering the objections that have been made to the Toronto Blessing.
They are now packaging this revival as authentic, patterned after the
revivals of John Wesley's day. This is deception and I
believe with all my heart that the
spirit operating at Pensacola is a religious spirit, a counterfeit spirit...
They talked about the river, they talked about manifestations of power...
the Spirit of God inside me did not bear witness that this "revival"
was of Him. etc.. As I have thought
about this emphasis on the river, I was reminded by
the Lord that another culture worshipped a river.. it was the Egyptians.
I admit this river theology that is developing frightens me. It makes the
river the source, it makes the river the focus of faith. Let me give you
an example from Naman the
Syrian general. Advised by the prophet to dip in the river seven times to
be cured of leprosy, he obeyed and was healed but he
went back to the prophet to give
glory to God. He knew the source of the healing wasn't the river.
The error I see in this emphasis on manifestations is this: Our journey
is no longer toward the prize of the high calling, we must simply get to
the river. Christianity
is no longer taking up
the cross and following Jesus, it is a resort experience by the "river."
etc.. and the writer of this article continues.....
