End-time False Prophets And Their Followers
Why do most people follow false prophets and teachers?
They follow false prophets and teachers because:
- They are extremely gullible.
- They continually want to satisfy their own self-centered desires. (Health, wealth and prosperity).
- They have itching ears (They continually want more).
- They are blind followers of blind leaders.
- They manipulate God to do for them what they want and call it faith.
- They shun sound doctrine and refuse to listen to those who sound the alarm.
- Their pride exceeds their gullibility.
- Mamon is their god.
- They are not saved and need to repent.
Jesus warned:
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.
But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep.
To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out.
And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.
And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers. (John 10:1-5)
Jesus emphatically stated that those who are truly saved will never follow false prophets for they know His voice (His doctrines and teachings) and will always flee from strangers (those who claim they know his voice and belong to his sheep but, in fact, are not part of His little flock).
They are strangers (“alotrios”) who are but wolves in sheep’s clothing and whose voices are leading multitudes astray. They are thieves and robbers (not only of your money but also your soul) who dare to climb up another way and not by the door into the sheepfold.
The voice, in this sense, is not merely the timbre, tone colour or tone frequency of someone’s voice. It encompasses a person’s entire life mirrored in his or her doctrines and teachings.
How do we distinguish between the false prophets and true prophets of God?
To answer this question we need to look at a few passages in Scripture that describe for us the traits of a false prophet.
The anger of the LORD shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart:
in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly. I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. (Jeremiah 23:20-21)
For I have not sent them, saith the LORD, yet they prophesy a lie in my name; that I might drive you out, and that ye might perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy unto you. (Jeremiah 27:15).
I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom;
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine.
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;
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. (2 Ti 4:1-4).
- False prophets are not sent by God. They are self-appointed charlatans and hirelings (John 10-:12-13). They preach health, wealth and prosperity but when hardship, persecution and affliction come their way, they abandon their followers.
- God has never spoken to them but they audaciously and arrogantly prophesy in His Name.
- They prophesy lies in His Name
- God allows false prophets to prophesy lies in His Name so that He may justly judge those who follow false prophets and their lies.
- They do not endure sound doctrine because they love it when their itching ears are tickled.
- In stead they turn their ears from the truth unto fables.
Note carefully that the prudent will identify the false apostles, prophets and teachers and their teachings more acutely in the latter days.
The following audio clip is from Pastor Harold Weitsz’s official site. He is the Senior Pastor of the Little Falls Christian Centre.
False prophets use buzz words and phrases which they hypnotically repeat over and over in their sermons.
They use these buzz words and phrases ad nauseam because they know what their congregants want to hear. Some of these buzz words and phrases are:-
- Breakthrough.
- Transformation.
- Refreshing.
- Blessing.
- Prosperity.
- Changed circumstances.
- Unexpected blessings in all the dimensions of your life as a reward for your faithful attendance of their houses (their churches and/or ministries).
- Surprising circumstantial changes in your life.
- The strengthening of your faith to the degree that you will see many great miracles (which, of course, the false prophets allegedly perform and are going to perform).
- The rising up to a new dimension or level’.
- A hunger throughout the world for the presence, glory and knowledge of the Lord.
- Special visitations of the Lord to the church.
- A double portion of God’s presence.
- Divine gifts which you ask and desire.
- The working out of things for you which you never expected.
- The granting of new strength, new courage and new boldness.
- The acceleration of the signs of the times.
- The protection of the flock in these perilous and dangerous times. The storm (holocaust) shall not come to you again.
- The preservation of God’s holy people in the Holy Land (Israel). There shall be peace, prosperity and protection in the Holy Land.
- Angelic forces are sent out to bring about God’s perfect will for the nations.
- The church will be protected and will prosper under God’s divine protection.
- God will not allow his Bride to suffer any longer.
- God will fill the church with glory, with faith, with holiness, with purity and cover her with his glory and she shall prosper.
Are these things true or just another set of lies yet another false prophet – who purportedly speaks in the Name and on behalf of the Lord – boldly pronounces to bind his congregants even firmer to his false church? Do his prophecies sound like the voice of the Good Shepherd?
The only way to come to a correct conclusion is to study and examine His teaching on blessing, courage, spiritual strength, miracles, His presence, His protection and suffering in the light of what the Good Shepherd taught. If Harold Weitsz’s prophecy does not concur with Jesus Christ’s voice (doctrines and teachings on these matters), we have no alternative but to brand him a false prophet.
Never once in his entire mission and ministry on earth did Jesus promise to bless his Bride with mundane blessings such as health, wealth and prosperity, to the extent that her circumstances shall change for the better, her suffering shall cease, that she shall rise to new levels of prosperity and shall experience many and great miracles. Never once!
On the contrary, Jesus has no need to bless his Bride here on earth because He has already blessed her with all spiritual blessings in heaven in Himself (Ephesians 1:3). Note carefully that these blessings are heavenly blessings (not earthly blessings) and will only come to fruition when his Bride is with Him in heaven. The problem with false prophets and their followers is that they cannot wait for these blessings and want them now. They must have it all NOW as the ignominious false prophet and teacher, Benny Hinn once said.
And indeed, they receive all these things NOW because the one who grants them all their wishes is not Jesus Christ of the Bible but another Jesus who loves to present himself as an angel of light.
Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him. (2 Corinthians 11:1-4).
For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2 Corinthians 11:13-15).
In stead Jesus promised his Bride – and not the whore of the health, wealth and prosperity cult – that she would be afflicted, persecuted, hated, and slain. James, the brother of Jesus wrote that we should “Take the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord [and not the false prophets who proclaim lies and deceit in the Name of the Lord], for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience. (James 5:10). Anyone who takes the prosperity false prophets and cultists for an example, must expect to fall in the same ditch as they.
But he answered and said, Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up. Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch. (Matthew 15:13-14)
In fact, the prophet John warns those who follow and take the prosperity cultists for an example very severely.
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols. And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds. And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works. (Revelation 2:20-23).
When Jesus Christ saved and called Paul of Tarsus into his ministry, He did not promise him a life devoid of suffering, affliction and persecution. Neither did He promise him a life of prosperity, breakthroughs, a change of circumstances, unexpected blessings in all the dimensions of his life, surprising circumstantial changes in his life, the rising up to a new dimension or level, a double portion of God’s presence, etc. etc. etc. This is what He promised him.
Then Ananias answered, Lord, I have heard by many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy saints at Jerusalem: And here he hath authority from the chief priests to bind all that call on thy name. But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake. (Acts 9:13-16).
By the way, who needs a so-called double portion of Jesus’ presence when He has already promised his little flock that He would never leave or forsake them?
Let your character or moral disposition be free from love of money [including greed, avarice, lust, and craving for earthly possessions] and be satisfied with your present [circumstances and with what you have]; for He [God] Himself has said, I will not in any way fail you nor give you up nor leave you without support. [I will] not, [I will] not, [I will] not in any degree leave you helpless nor forsake nor let [you] down (relax My hold on you)! [Assuredly not!]. (Hebrews 13:5: AMP)
Have you noticed the thrice repeated “I [will] not?” God the Father will not abandon you and neither will the Son nor the Holy Spirit (the Triune God). You don’t need a so-called double portion of God’s presence because you already have a triple portion of God’s presence if you are truly saved. False prophets who prophesy lies in His Name are merely making a show in the flesh. In other words, they are bragging.
Those who want to make a good impression and a fine show in the flesh would try to compel you to receive circumcision, simply so that they may escape being persecuted for allegiance to the cross of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One). (Galatians 6:12).
The present-day false prophet may not force you to be circumcised lest you should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ. They are doing it in another way which may be described as follows:
Those who want to make a good impression and a fine show in the flesh would try to compel you to be prosperous, blessed in every dimension of your life and walk in divine health, simply so that they may escape being persecuted for allegiance to the cross of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).
The cherry on a false prophets’ cake is that God will not allow his Bride to suffer any longer. Really?
The fact is that the true Bride of Christ knows and understands that she cannot escape suffering in behalf of Jesus Christ.
After the disciples had been beaten and sternly warned not to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they rejoiced because they were counted worthy to suffer shame for his name. (Acts 5:41).
No saith the false prophet Harold Weitsz and his cohorts. The disciples of Jesus Christ lied when they said this. Rather listen to the Very Irreverent Pastor Harold Weitsz who says:
Paul counted it a joy to share in Christ’s sufferings and to become like Him in his death (Philippians 3:10). Those who teach you otherwise are enemies of the cross of Jesus Christ whose belly (carnal appetites such as health, wealth and prosperity) is their god because they set their minds on earthly things. Their end is destruction (Philippians 3:18-19).
No saith the false prophet Harold Weitsz and his cohorts. Paul was an infamous liar. Rather listen to the Very Irreverent Pastor Harold Weitsz who says:
Jesus said:
“If the world hates you, know that it has hated me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will also persecute you. If they kept my word, they will also keep yours. But all these things they will do to you on account of my name, because they do not know him who sent me. (John 15:18-21).
“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. “Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.” (Matthew 5:10-12).
No saith the false prophet Harold Weitsz and his cohorts. Jesus Christ, the Son of Living God, lied when He said this. Rather listen to the Very Irreverent Pastor Harold Weitsz who says:
The letter to the Hebrews says:
“Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated-of whom the world was not worthy-wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth. (Hebrews 11:36-38).
No saith the false prophet Harold Weitsz and his cohorts. The letter to the Hebrews, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is a lie. Rather listen to the Very Irreverent Pastor Harold Weitsz who says:
TELL THAT TO THE HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF CHRISTIANS WHO ARE PRESENTLY SUFFERING, BEING PERSECUTED AND BEHEADED FOR THEIR FAITH, MR. FALSE PROPHET. YOU ARE NOT A PROPHET OR EVEN A MAN OF GOD. YOU ARE A SHAMEFUL LIAR WHO NEEDS TO REPENT BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE FOR YOU AND YOUR FOLLOWERS.
What does the Bible say of those who do not speak according His word?
To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. (Isaiah 8:20).
In other words, they are not saved and on their way to hell unless they repent
There are other very important Biblical tests for false prophets.
1. They preach alone whereas Paul encouraged all to desire and encouraged all to prophesy 1Cor 14
2. They preach that holiness in this life is impossible. The Bible says such people are opposing GOD 1Thess 4:7-8 and Tim 6:3-5 says they are proud, knowing nothing, is sick concerning doubts and arguments, from which comes envy, strife, evil speakings, evil suspicions, meddling, of men whose minds have been corrupted and deprived of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness.
3. they preach we will all sin until death. Jesus and John said he who sins is a slave of sin and of the devil
4. They are being served and the sheep takes care of them. Jesus commanded the leaders should serve. Matt 20 The true shepherd cares for his sheep – as Paul and Jesus did.
5. They get into the pulpit by their training and education, or appointment, or by their charisma and preaching alone to draw people to themselves. God hides spiritual wisdom from the learned, and high and important and proud. True prophets are lowly and humble, knowing training and knowledge are dross and they are equipped by God by His gifts and calling.
6. They receive a salary to preach or income from preaching.
Faan Oosthuizen wrote:
Do you believe we become sinless after salvation?
Indeed, there are many other things that identify false prophets but I wanted to focus on the lie that all Christians should prosper in all dimensions of their life whilst the Bible says that suffering is part and parcel of their lives.
This is actually so funny to listen to and at the same time so sad. When you know God’s truth and you listen to the rubbish false prophets preach, you cannot do anything else but either laugh or cry.
Weitsz the false prophet is the “spiritual father” of the false prophet Marc Bredenkamp. What a sad bunch, and there are so many following them and so little exposing them!
God be with us!

I’m curious, would anyone (or most people) preach/enter full time ministry for free? Even the church that I’m currently attending receives minimal income (via tithes) and travels the world to preach (some costs are covered)
Hi Werner
Yes I have been so meaning to do an article on Marc Bredenkamp and that young guy Leon du Preez. I know I have promised you a few times, but I keep getting side tracked.
Tom, maybe you can look into him as well – bad news.

There’s a big difference between receiving an income from church members to support the pastor and his family and preaching a prosperity gospel that God will increase your own income tenfold/hundredfold when you give to the church/pastor sacrificially. The latter, to my mind, is money laundering.
Paul said:
Occasionally Paul accepted unsolicited support from churches but he did so with an uneasy heart (Phil. 4:10-13), calling it “robbery” to take from poor people. He never wanted to be a financial burden to them. Jesus said freely you have received, freely give.” In any case, God promised that He will never leave or forsake his children.
Hi Deborah, I understand and I guess that will be a large piece of work! As I have been duped into following Marc’s babbling as a young believer, I know thousands of others are led astray by his false teachings and doctrines.
A little side note, I have mentioned it before. When I questioned him about where he received his Doctorate degree, he said that some College gave it to him based on his so called incredible knowledge of the Greek and Hebrew language. This was laughable for two reasons, no proper Accredited Christian College/University will issues you a Doctorate based on your so called self taught knowledge, and the only place Marc got this super natural knowledge from was him using his NKJV Bible, anyone can do this.
Next, I pressed his office for a name of the College as he would not answer me personally, although he did later as his right hand boy could not answer my questions anymore, anyhow the name he gave me was nowhere to be found on the internet. The closest ministry/College I did find was unaccredited local church College somewhere in a small town in the USA. Need I say anymore….oh how preachers love their titles, like the Pharisees they want to be recognized in the market places, and be called upon on their deeds and titles! What a shame!
Lastly, one of two or so links on Marc’s website belongs to , do I need to say anymore? This man has been exposed countless of times before: Kim Clement, see the bottom on Marc’s website: http://www.destiny.co.za/

When I took him on about an article/prophesy he wrote/received on Hollywood and how God will use and take over Hollywood for the good, He deleted all my comments on his site and closed the comment box as he could not argue his point biblical point nor could he refute my comments. This is after countless sound ministries have exposed the recent and previous godless movies people including Marc claiming to be Biblical and used of God. And he claims he is not a dominionist kingdom now??

One can go on and on, even his latest Holy Spirit/Fire Baptism Conference, come on, where is this found in Scripture? http://www.destiny.co.za/sermons/holy-spirit-fire-conference-part-1-3/
I will be waiting in anticipation Deborah!
Take your time!
Good morning. I am telling you of a completely incredible and true personal traumatic experience, in the hope that ANYONE who has a similar experience, will know that it is from Satan. I fear for anyone who suffers from this experience, even if I can help only one person, I need to do this for my GOD in the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, my salvation. During November 2014 thru February 9th? 2015, I was subjected to dreams which included a man’s voice in my head leading me to believe he was my God. While being led to read Revelations, through an incredible pulling in my heart, I was drawn to the Letter to the Philadelphia Church, which led me to research the history of that church (I was curious that Our Creator would write an “end times” letter to a church that currently does not exist in these “end times”, it is part of my investigative nature I suppose). This curiosity led me to discover a “prophetess” from the 1600’s named Jane Leade (admittedly the fact that her name was almost my own was shocking!) and her claim was that Our Lord was speaking to her during the later half of the 1600’s and she spent countless hours with her friends who wrote everything she was being “told” because the thoughts came so fast from “Our Lord”. As I discovered her “works” I spent continuous hours reading them, as they were actually like an instruction book for the dreams I was receiving! It was truly scary but I felt compelled to read most of what seemed relevant to me. LONG story short, I ended up understanding that I needed to go to Israel…so I could be DECAPITATED…to fight in the battle with Jesus Christ. In one dream, I saw a vision of myself looking at armed military personnel as they opened the doors of the prisoner transport van I was in back of, in another dream, as the time was getting closer for me to buy a plane ticket, I was given contact information and shown a “photo ID” type picture of a man who was going to meet me at the airport in another dream, and the most incredible dream…was a vision which lingered in front of me for 1 hour and 15 minutes…while I actually recorded it into my cellphone…and it was an “End Times” prophesy…that I was led to believe that I had to share (I regrettably started to) but quickly sent follow up apologies after being enlightened by my true LORD! In this planning to be beheaded, I cashed in my retirement savings,(I am 50) explained to my young adult daughters how to use the money, started pricing airline tickets to Jerusalem, wrote goodbye notes to the family members that had no clue I was planning this, because I did not know WHEN it was going to happen, and on the day that I explained to my girls, my mother (who has already lost 2 sons) my husband (who was away in Venezuela for 6 weeks and was told over the phone), they made one last ditch effort to try and stop me! Thank you LORD! I stopped my plans (but only after I told them it was no use, I had to do this for GOD), however, the thought was still stirring in my head to go because I would certainly do that for God! I was in tears begging Him to forgive me but asking Him to find someone else. (My loving daughter’s request). The FINAL result, was through prayer, prayer, prayer and direction from the Bible, did I find that THERE WILL BE NO MORE PROPHETS after John the Baptist, (so obviously this Jane Leade is Mis-Leading) and incredibly enough, the “prophetic end-time letter” I received in that dream, mentions Jane Leade as being the daughter of Melchizedek and “she has already been given the key to the New Jerusalem City…etc.) Bringing me back to “earth” was Jesus Christ WARNING that “Many will come to you saying “I am the Christ…do NOT follow them, my children”. This was a truly GLORIOUS reminder! Another answer I discovered at the “last minute” was understanding that this, being voluntary (yet involuntary) would mean that I was going to be sacrificed TO SATAN and NOT to/for my incredible Father in heaven! I was truly “out of it” during this time. This is completely out of character for me but this is how BAD this demon gets into your thoughts. If you have been filled with the Holy Spirit, saved in Jesus Christ, you are truly subjected to Satan trying his dark ways in you. Be AWAKE! I will leave an email if anyone wishes to contact me directly. My husband, upon coming home, explained how upset he was because his SISTER had a similar experience and she actually went to foreign country with no belongings (as I was instructed) and she was kidnapped, held in a cell for two months with only a coffee can to use as a bathroom but after 2 months found escape when her cell door was left unlocked! WHAT! I could NOT believe that my OWN husband had such a thing happen in his family. He was extremely worried when I told him I may not be home when he got back. If you are curious about me, I have a Facebook page that I actually started posting outrageous things on, which freaked my friends out to the point where I told them I had to leave FB. It is still up, I forget my sign on but I think you can see things on there which become obviously radical and scary.
I THANK YOU, my merciful FATHER in heaven and my Savior Jesus Christ, for allowing me to be saved, yet again. I Please feel free to contact me at [Email removed]
May God bless you all and keep you safe, in the name of Jesus Christ.

Please feel free to share this story because I know that I need to get this message out, and I feel that it was put upon me to struggle with this, exactly so I could share it! Your site is my first of many to come.
Thank you!
Legalism seems to play a big part in our Church today, it started with Peter on circumcision. Now it’s what bible your reading, or who you listen to. “Pre, Post or mid or “Your going to worship the anti-christ.”
“You have to be perfect like Jesus is.” The Church replaced Israel”
WE ARE ALL WRONG not in everything, but we all miss the mark, if not, Jesus wasn’t needed.
Although there are aspects of the “New Age Church” we need to be aware of. Rest your head in the Word of God, if you find a teacher that is helpful and proclaims Jesus died for our sins, look into the matter, and stay away from RELIGION.
Use the Bible to compass any teachings, use the Bible(KVJ) to compass the Bible, find out if the KVJ uses wrong wording in places, it does.
Does the teacher you listen to, use a Bible? All the time?
Is it wrong to spend money on teachings? NO
In a perfect world, it’s not, we could receive the word of God on every street corner.
If someone devotes their life to God, and is a sound teacher(check into the matter) than good for them.
We are finding out so many great testimonies about God, and his love for us. We are truly living in the best of times and the worst of times.
Holman Christian Standard Bible:
Romans 14:22
Do you have a conviction? Keep it to yourself before God. The man who does not condemn himself by what he approves is blessed.
WOW DOES THAT PINCH OR WHAT!
Dear Janice
Your story is shocking. But I am happy you are coming to the know the truth. I have a question for you though, you say:
>> This was a truly GLORIOUS reminder! Another answer I discovered at the “last minute” was understanding that this, being voluntary (yet involuntary) would mean that I was going to be sacrificed TO SATAN and NOT to/for my incredible Father in heaven!
What do you mean by this? “I was going to be sacrificed TO SATAN? and NOT to/for my incredible Father in heaven”
Lance wrote,
“Missing the mark” in biblical language means to be unsaved. However, the unsaved can learn the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth when they get saved. How do I know?
Therefore, there is no excuse whatsoever for you to say “WE ARE ALL WRONG . . .” In efect, you are saying. Harold Weitsz is wrong when he says the Bride of Christ will suffer no more, but so what, we are all wrong in some ways. So, let’s just accept what he says and be danmed with the rest.”
I really don’t think your statement about Romans 14:22 is correct. Please read the “conviction” or “faith” we ought to have before God and not others in its proper context and you will understand what it means. The context here concerns meats and drinks. Some Christians believe it is OK to eat anything; some Christians don’t. So, what do we do when we dine with our Christian brothers and sister and one says to you, “Lance, don’t eat that because of such and such and so and so. Out of pure love for your brother or sister and because you don’t want to offend him or her because Christ also died for them, you will refrain from eating it.
By the way, what does this article on false teachers have in common with Romans 14:22. Me thinks – NOTHING!
Never thought I’d see a day Pastor Harold being exposed!I remember my last days attending little falls Christian church and Maude said:”There is a group of business men who give us 70% of their salaries and they(the business men) live off 30%…”I thought to myself:”OK!I’m out of here!”I tell you,that woman loves money.And…and like one excellent teacher would say:”She got dollar signs popping out of her eyes.”
Sure are a lot of wolves out there and that makes it difficult to find the truth.Anyone heard of L.Ray Smith?What do you think about his website and his teachings?www.bible-truths.com
I have a simple question. Why when on the cross did Jesus say “It is finished!” What is the IT? ANYONE who DARES DILUTE Jesus Glorious work of salvation is preaching heresy. These faddish prophets apostles and preachers are being followed by fools because they think it’s like some Spiritual competition or something like “WOW he’s so close to God….Whosoever calls on the name of The Lord will be saved. As long as we realise we are hopelessly lost without His work of the cross, repent means to change our minds about our condition and call out to Him so save us. Just like the thief next to him.
The word “Tetelestai” (“It is finished”) was a word used in commerce in those days. It was something similar to what we use today on an invoice to indicate that something is paid in full. The difference is that Jesus paid for us with his own blood and not money.
We have been purchased very dearly and no longer belong to ourselves and, therefore, we may no longer do whatever we want.
I have read your coment on false prophets, here over Harold Weitsz… As a christian believer I believe that we are in the last days for which there is no doubt… you have even confirmed that above talking about false prophets in the last days. Now that you have identified a false prophet in harold weitz, but you have made no reference to true prophets sent of God (as writen that will do greater miracles than Jesus in His name)? Can you please name 2 Prophets of God that you believe to be sent of God. I want to know of true prophets… ?
David,
Why do you want to know who are today’s true prophets when you have the complete Word of God at your disposal and his Holy Spirit to lead you in all truth?

I was heavily involved with Destiny for about 5 years and hung off every word Marc and Leon said. It took a good 4 years after leaving the church that I realized something wasn’t right. I didn’t dare speak anything against the leaders because they were “anointed” men and woman of God. Thank God for His grace and getting me out of there!
It’s good to see other x Destiny people speaking about their experience there. Thanks for sharing ?

You are spiritual dead and trapped into religion.
Dear ‘pastor’ Frederik
You church is a 5 Fold Ministry Apostolic and Prophetic church…lets see what you have to say about yourself and your church:
But you ‘pastor’ Frederik you HATE doctrine! :shocked: The Word of God is the DOCTRINE you believe and follow as a Christian, yet you say you HATE doctrine. What does the bible say?
There is Godly Doctrine and then there is evil doctrine. You appear to hate all doctrine.
1 Timothy 5:17 (KJV)
Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.
1 Timothy 6:3 (KJV)
If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;
1 Timothy 4:6 (KJV)
If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.
1 Timothy 4:13 (KJV)
Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine
1 Timothy 4:16 (KJV)
Take heed unto thyself, and unto the doctrine; continue in them: for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself, and them that hear thee.
1 Timothy 6:1 (KJV)
Let as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
You ‘pastor’ Frederick…you are at this stage:
Timothy 4:3 (KJV)
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;
Do you make up your own doctrine through NEW REVELATION as you go along?

“It may well be said, there is a great youth revival emanating from South Africa and spreading across the world, Leon du Preez, was birthed for such times as these. God has preserved him for this great youth revival.” writes Onward Christian.
Here we go again..

Hi Robbie.
And so it will go on and on and on until our Lord returns to make an end of it all. Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
Dear Ray
The bible certainly does talk about it, but the truth is far different to what false Apostles like to spew out their mouths. Please read: False Foundation of Five-Fold Ministry

Tom I cannot thank you enough for writing this article. Seven years I was in this false prophets church. Thank you for exposing Weitsz for what he is. Just another false prophet. It took me years and the help of your article to finally have my epiphany arrive concerning this. Speaking for myself-the thing is- if you are being led by a false prophet you have a clouded view of what the truth is and it is difficult to see the truth.
Love all the stuff you guys do.
Dear Nadine, Please pray for us.
