Nina

Would you classify the following as seasoned with salt and words of grace.



&lt;blockquote&gt;But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed. For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. (Gal 1:8-10)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

And this:



&lt;blockquote&gt;Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. (Jud 1:11-13)&lt;/blockquote&gt;]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Fantastic Truthful article.
Its amazing that the FRUIT always expose the ROTTEN ROOT.
T.B. Joshua (perverse acts with his female staff at night in his quarters - also got his &quot;anointing&quot; from witchcraft under the guise of being a Christian prophet)
Kobus van Rensburg (believed we lived in the 1000 year peace on earth) lied about healing, deliverance and his anointing.
Ravi Zacharaias (perversion with women in his massage parlours)
ALL THESE MEN DIED OF DISEAS (INCURABLE) AND THEIR SINS AND INIQUITIES - FOR MONEY AND FAME WERE EXPOSED

&lt;blockquote&gt;You misinterpret to others, for you lack understanding from God. The anointing of God is His presence for ministry. We all carry a measure of His anointing, according to our faith walk with Him……but when HE sovereignly shows up in a meeting, the
anointing is stronger, tangible, powerful.
His faith, not ours, takes over. If we walk in
 self righteousness, judgment, pride, etc
His anointing will not be released to fools.
He will not be mocked. There is a corporate
 anointing Walking in the anointing is learned through experiencing with God….not with the mind.
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
Kobus van Rensburg was influenced by Kenneth Copeland and others who tried to explain the anointing in various ways such as the following insightful words from KC&#039;s site on understanding the anointing:

*Anointing, as described in the Bible, can be defined as &quot;God on flesh doing those things that flesh cannot do.&quot; It is God doing those things only He can do, and doing them through a flesh-and-blood, earthly vessel*

Read carefully that he states that there are things that only God can do. KC then carries on to say that God would do the things only He can do &quot;and doing them through a flesh-and-blood earthly vessel&quot; insinuating that KC and like minded false prophets and apostles could then do the same? KC quotes 2 Cor 4:7 to back this up:
 
2 Corinthians 4:7 &quot;But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us&quot;.

Typical of false preachers is to pounce on a word such as &quot;power&quot; and misuse its meaning to imply miraculous power bestowed on &quot;the anointed&quot; by God. Context as we should know by now is all important.

 Now Darlene you say that: &quot;The anointing of God is His presence for ministry&quot;. It seems that &quot;God sovereignly shows up&quot; in meetings? (nogal). Scripture to back this up? No, so your prophet has this knowledge that he took to the grave with him?

I have personally heard Kobus van Rensburg use four letter words from the pulpit and also Angus Buchan (on YouTube) use four letter word. Not that using a four letter word would be a requirement to be called a false preacher or apostle, but control of uttering such while &quot;under the anointing&quot;?
The likes of these guys will never fail to amaze, but hopefully only the deceived will be amused.

I recall that Deborah or Thomas asked for examples of &quot;healings&quot; done by KvR. I can say that I know of a man from Cape Town that was &quot;healed&quot; of a heart condition to only die of this condition a couple of years later at an age that would be considered young by today&#039;s standards. So I sincerely believe that had this man sought medical attention he would have been alive today - but he kept on insisting that he had been healed.

So according to Darlene: God&#039;s faith takes over in KvR meetings? If God had taken over the heart would have been only partially or &quot;for a short while&quot; been healed? Think lady think........]]></description>

Darlene,

We really do not need your prayers when you first curse us and then piously say you pray for us. How long was Kobus van Rensburg&#039;s corpse kept in your church while you and others prayed for his resurrection and NOTHING happened? You are so right, I don&#039;t want to touch him with a ten foot pole.]]></description>

Darlene,

How sure are you that your so-called anointing is from God and not from Satan? Satan wants you to experience things in stead of relying on God&#039;s Word.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Anyone who claims special or &#039;secret&#039; knowledge of God outside of the canon of the Bible is a gnostic. It is a severe heresy because it is an attempt at self-glorification above Jesus and designed to mislead people away from the true Word do God.

Truth

You cannot win souls for the kingdom when you tell people God did not plan for us to die and go to heaven one day because immorality can be attained on earth. And yes, I suppose Paul of Tarsus was very emotional and overtaken by hatred when he wrote:

&lt;blockquote&gt;I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. (Galatians 1:6-8)&lt;/blockquote&gt;

We really don&#039;t need misguided facts to understand Kobus van Rensburg&#039;s own words that he was immortal. That in itself warrants Paul&#039;s indictment in Galatians 1. Are you immortal?]]></description>
