What a Tragedy ‘Prophet’ Kobus van Rensburg

Kobus Van Rensburg - Man in Gods Image - http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v233/180/62/643502290/s643502290_541061_645.jpgPlease go here to read more about Kobus van Rensburg: 

[NEWS UPDATE – Kobus van Rensburg claims God healed him, and is telling all his followers this.  It has come to my attention that Kobus van Rensburg is in remission, BUT he did receive medication and Chemotherapy.  Kobus van Rensburg is still preaching Latter Rain Manifest Sons of God teaching and even more so promoting that one can be IMMORTAL on earth.  He also teaches his followers that they are Christ.  Please read the comments below (there are many of them) to see the degree of heresy and insanity taught by Kobus van Rensburg.  Also note his followers are not shy in threatening those who stand again Kobus van Rensburg.]

It’s a Tragedy

It has come to my attention that Kobus van Rensburg from Spirit Word Ministries has cancer and is very ill from what I have heard.  His wife Annalise is appearing more and more on his Spirit Word TV channel instead of Kobus as he battles to speak or is just not well enough.  There is very little information about this on the Internet.  Almost as if no one is supposed to find out.

I wrote an article on Kobus here about 2 years ago exposing him as a false prophet, who proclaimed thousands healed from cancer and HIV/AIDS, etc.  He still is a false teacher – nothing has changed, except he himself now has cancer.

So back to Kobus, and thinking about this situation of his.  The only thoughts that come to my mind is;  ‘what a tragedy’.   Here is a man who you can’t even approach and say,

“Dear Kobus, have you heard about Jesus Christ.  He is the ONLY One who can save you. Repent of your sin, repent of everything you have done.  It makes no difference what you have done, God forgives everyone who comes to Him asking for forgiveness.  Jesus Christ the Son of God gave His life so that you may receive eternal life – if you want it.  If you don’t want it and prefer to try be your own little god, you WILL fail and you WILL find yourself facing eternal punishment for doing exactly what Adam and Eve did by falling for Satan’s lie, ‘You surely will not die if you want to be like God?’  Well, yes Kobus you will.

Genesis 3:4-5

4  “The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!
5  “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

Satan wanted to like God:

Isaiah 14:14

14  ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’

Satan is the father of Lies:

John 8:44

“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

How easy it is for Satan to lead men astray:

2 Corinthians 11:3

But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.

There is a face book site dedicated to Kobus van Rensburg (having said that it does not state what’s wrong with him).  All you will find is people leaving comments praying for him to get well soon. You will see the theme of ‘immortality’ come across through the many comments left.  You see Kobus van Rensburg has reached godhood, and is therefore immortal.   Are you confused?  Don’t worry.  Me too.  Apparently in Latter Rain / Manifest Sons of God teaching you can be dead and alive all at the same time….I think.

Facebook: Kobus Van Rensburg will live and not die!!!!!

Now, it’s all very well to pray for Kobus to get well and that God heals him, but without Kobus coming to the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved all hope is lost.

Kobus went to see T B Joshua (Church of All Nations SCOAN)  in Nigeria and reported that after coming back to SA had a great anointing of power in his life.  Well Kobus, with the demonic power given to you, you were given demonic cancer as well.

“Repent Kobus, before it’s too late.  You are not immortal, you are not a god, you are a sinner in dire need of a Saviour and that Saviour is Jesus Christ the Son of God, who gave His life that you may be saved.  Through genuine repentance of your sin (everything you have done) and believing in Jesus Christ through faith you can be saved.  You might not beat this cancer Kobus, but you will beat a 2nd death and receive eternal life if only you turn from your wickedness and ask God forgiveness through His Only begotten Son Jesus Christ.  Humble yourself for once before the One and Only Living God like everyone else on this earth will have to do sooner or later.  Get on your knees Kobus, you are no better than anyone else on this earth of ours.  I repent every day of my life for the sinner that I am who needs constant saving.  What makes you think you are so special?  You are not!  Ask God for forgiveness before it’s too late”.

If anyone can find more information on Kobus’ condition, it would be appreciated.  I have contacted Spirit Word Ministries and received no reply.

    Sorry, I can’t even begin to reply to your comment. Tell me, are you a little Christ as well? Why don’t you just remove the Pastor title in your name and put Christ Bright like that other little girl did.

  2. PASTOR BRIGHT ADU BOAHEN,NKORANZA, GHANA says:

    Hi Deborah,to say we are “lttle Christ” is even an
    under-statement,it reveals your naivity in the word of God.Take it from me today,we are not “little Christ” in the earth today but rather, we are “the Christ” meaning the anointed ones. Haven’t you read from scripture that we as christians have received the fulness of the Christ and for that matter we the sons of God here in this world, do you also know that the Bible says as HE is so are we in this world? Read John 1:11-17,1John3:1-ff 1John 4:17.
    Please note that it is religon which says we are “little christ” but in christianity we are Christ, not little christ.Don’t be a spiritual IGNORAMUS, open up your heart to receive the engrafted word that is able to save your soul by listening to PROPHET KOBUS VAN RENSBURG from Spiritword Ministeries.Thank you.

    pastor Bright Adu Boahen,Nkoranza,Ghana

    Please tell your denominational members and leaders to listen to Prophet Kobus Van Rensburg on Spiritword Channel and it will help them to become THE MANIFESTED SONS OF GOD THAT CREATION IS WAITING FOR.

    What !! You are prepared to lead people straight to the pits of hell with your sugestion. You keep to worshiping your gods and Kobus van Rensburg. We here will keep to the real Gospel of Jesus Christ crucified thank you. It is obvious you choose to follow Kobus van Rensburg’s Cult so please go there if you choose and you can watch the demonic Spiritword Channel. No true Christian would want to get involved in what you are suggesting.

    Don’t be a hypocrite admit the fact that Kobus is a Prophet of the Most High God.DONT BE A PHARISEE OR A SADDUCEE.

    Who in their right frame of mind could/would ever want to admit Kobus van Rensburg is a Prophet from God. NOOOO Pastor what ever you are wrong Kobus van Rensburg is more like a spokes person from the pits of hell.

    Lastly please read every comment made here that give Biblical proof about the warnings in the Word teaching us that many false christs have gone out in the world and the will lead many astray.
    Jesus himself said :
    Matthew 24:4-6 (Amplified Bible) 4Jesus answered them, Be careful that no one misleads you [deceiving you and leading you into error].5 For many will come in (on the strength of) My name [[a]appropriating the name which belongs to Me], saying, I am the Christ (the Messiah), and they will lead many astray.6 And you will hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not frightened or troubled, for this must take place, but the end is not yet.

    2 Timothy 3:12-14 (Amplified Bible)

    12 Indeed all who delight in piety and are determined to live a devoted and godly life in Christ Jesus will meet with persecution [will be made to suffer because of their religious stand].
    13 But wicked men and imposters will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and leading astray others and being deceived and led astray themselves.
    14 But as for you, continue to hold to the things that you have learned and of which you are convinced, knowing from whom you learned [them],

    Indeed Debs!

    Matthew 24:24
    For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

    my mind can’t comprehend how many people today are calling themselves “christ”, and to go and even put “the” in front, blows my mind!

  7. Margaret says:

    You people are really nasty. They will be known by their fruit – your fruit is insulting people, mocking God, blaspheming the Holy Spirit. By the fruit coming out of these conversations I would much rather be a part of Kobus and His ministry than Deborah and the rest of the nasty girls. If anyone comes up with a valid argument straight from the word of God then you delete them. Best you nice ladies start working on your fruit; namely; love because your fruit is VROT!

  8. Elmarie A says:

    Margaret

    Oh there you are….. 🙂 we are still waiting for you to supply proof of your daughter’s friend who goes to Spirit Word who you claimed looks 20 years younger? Have you solved the mystery yet as you also said you don’t understand it.

    I am actually a catholic but I watch the channel and my daughter goes to Spirit Word. A good friend received her healing at Spirit Word. Her leg was to be amputated because of diabetic sores. God stopped the operation and she went to SW and is now completely healed of diabetes. She looks about 20 years younger. I dont understand it all but it is defintely revival and God moving in a mighty way.

    and then I said :

    Elmarie
    11 July, 2010 at 8:11 pm

    Could you supply before and after pictures of this please?

    Please give us proof I ask again then we can chat on other issues like you being catholic 🙂

    Margaret your say :

    “You people are really nasty.”

    No not so we stand for the truth in the Word of God.

    You also say :

    I would much rather be a part of Kobus and His ministry than Deborah and the rest of the nasty girls

    No one asked you to be part of “Deborah and the rest of the nasty girls” Please run along and go join Kobus van Rensburg and his ministry as you chose.

    mmm I have a suggestion Margaret:

    If you can not supply this proof we require of your daughters fiend looking 20 years younger and it must be proven and backed up by Scripture in your next comment mmmm sorry but i’m afraid then your comment will also have to be deleted.

    I dont understand it all but it is defintely revival and God moving in a mighty way.

    Why would God if it as you say “it is defintely revival and God moving in a mighty way” cause you not to understand it?

    Let me share this Scripture with you Margaret.

    Matthew 13:13-15 (Amplified Bible)

    1 THAT SAME day Jesus went out of the house and was sitting beside the sea.

    2 But such great crowds gathered about Him that He got into a boat and remained sitting there, while all the throng stood on the shore.

    3 And He told them many things in parables (stories by way of illustration and comparison), saying, A sower went out to sow.

    4 And as he sowed, some seeds fell by the roadside, and the birds came and ate them up.

    5 Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they had not much soil; and at once they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil.

    6 But when the sun rose, they were scorched, and because they had no root, they dried up and withered away.

    7 Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them out.

    8 Other seeds fell on good soil, and yielded grain–some a hundred times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some thirty.

    9 He who has ears [to hear], let him be listening and let him [a]consider and [b]perceive and comprehend by hearing.

    10 Then the disciples came to Him and said, Why do You speak to them in parables?

    11 And He replied to them, To you it has been given to know the secrets and mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not been given.

    12 For whoever has [spiritual knowledge], to him will more be given and he will [c]be furnished richly so that he will have abundance; but from him who has not, even what he has will be taken away.

    13 This is the reason that I speak to them in parables: because [a]having the power of seeing, they do not see; and [b]having the power of hearing, they do not hear, nor do they grasp and understand.

    14 In them indeed is [c]the process of fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, which says: You shall indeed hear and hear but never grasp and understand; and you shall indeed look and look but never see and perceive.

    15 For this nation’s heart has grown gross (fat and dull), and their ears heavy and difficult of hearing, and their eyes they have tightly closed, lest they see and perceive with their eyes, and hear and comprehend the sense with their ears, and grasp and understand with their heart, and turn and I should heal them.(A)

    16 But blessed (happy, fortunate, and [g]to be envied) are your eyes because they do see, and your ears because they do hear.

    17 Truly I tell you, many prophets and righteous men [men who were upright and in right standing with God] yearned to see what you see, and did not see it, and to hear what you hear, and did not hear it.

  10. Margaret

    I think its nasty to lie. Proof please. You can send the photo’s to my email address that is mentioned in the About This Blog / Rules page at the very top of the website.

  11. Margaret says:

    I dont know how to post photos here. I have plenty of proof. This same lady had clooged arteries and was supposed to have a stent put into her heart – she had another scan after she was prayed for and te blockages were gone. At my daughters church – they run centres for abused women and children – there ave been 17 women healed of hiv/aids. a man was healed of blindness, another 2 women healed from cancer, a crippled man walked out of a wheelchair. If you want proof I will give you the doctors phone numbers, medical reports, before and after photos. Why must you be like doubting Thomas?

  12. Margaret says:

    [MARGARET MADE CLAIMS OF MIRACLES BUT WONT SHOW PROOF – The next comment we expect from Margaret is to tell us that she has emailed all proof that she said she will (Doctor’s name, medical reports and before and after photo’s to the email address provided under the About this Blog / Rules place at the top of the Website. Not sure why anyone would go to the doctor because they look 20 years younger, but never the less if she went, then we wanna see the reports ETC, ETC, ETC]

  13. Amanda says:

    Margaret

    You are welcome to join Kobus, claim your bodily immortality and grow younger. Just do not call that Christianity and expect Christians to amen the ‘true prophet’, the christ who is sitting with Him on the throne and reigning with Him today on this earth. If you accept this false christ, then God will hold you accountable for your idolatry. Repent and flee from the wrath that is to come.

  14. Margaret

    You were asked to EMAIL the photo’s to me. Come now. This is getting very lame.

    If you want proof I will give you the doctors phone numbers, medical reports, before and after photos.

    You are like all the rest, you say you will and never do.

    PLEASE GIVE US THE PROOF, THANK YOU KINDLY FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION.

    You can find the email address under the About This Blog / Rules page. Once you have emailed ALL doctors phone numbers, medical reports, before and after photos, please come back and comment to let me know so I can go check. Please note that you stated there are now doctors involved, so don’t forget to include their numbers and their medical reports.

  15. Margaret says:

    so give me your e-mail address and a p,o,box address – I will send you dvds of people getting out of wheelchairs – and no they are not actors or paid. even if the evidence jumps up and bites you you will still not beleive. Guess thats what we call unbeleif, also called blaspheming the HolyGhost – beware!

    Do you know this Man ? Johan van Wyk – Solid Rock Church

    Margaret

    Why must you be like doubting Thomas?

    No you are wrong Margaret. Kobus is not Jesus! Millions believe the Pope is God if you don’t believe it you are also a doubting Thomas. Can you see how ridiculous your statement is ?

    Do you know about these Words Jesus spoke in the Word?
    2 Corinthians 11:12-15 (Amplified Bible)

    12But what I do, I will continue to do, [for I am determined to maintain this independence] in order to cut off the claim of those who would like [to find an occasion and incentive] to claim that in their boasted [mission] they work on the same terms that we do.

    13For such men are false apostles [spurious, counterfeits], deceitful workmen, masquerading as apostles (special messengers) of Christ (the Messiah).

    14And it is no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light;

    15So it is not surprising if his servants also masquerade as ministers of righteousness. [But] their end will correspond with their deeds.

  18. Elmarie A says:

    Margaret

    If you want proof I will give you the doctors phone numbers, medical reports, before and after photos.

    Just take note it must be doctors phone numbers, medical reports, before and after photos OF YOUR daughters fiend looking 20 years younger ONLY Nothing else !! We do not want any other proof.

  19. Margaret

    I did not ask for stupid dvd’s. My email address is in the About the Rules page at the top of the website (I have told you this 3 times now). You told us you will send us PROOF, with doctors names and medical reports of this person who is now 20 years younger. You are now playing dodge ball and it’s pathetic and it shows you are a liar second to none.

    Right, who is the next twit who wants to show us proof but then never does… says they have it, when they don’t….and will continue to lie and lie and lie.

    Testing the anti- Christ spirit that speaks through you is commanded by the Word of God. 1 John 4:1-6 You have being weighed and found to be wanting.

    Good bye Margaret.

  20. Elmarie A says:

    Margaret

    I will send you dvds of people getting out of wheelchairs – and no they are not actors or paid.

    Noooo Margaret that is not what we requested.
    I knew you would not provide proof of your daughters friend who looks 20years younger.

    People like Kobus van Rensburg and his Ministry should maybe be checked out by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

  21. Dirk Kock says:

    Hallo aan almal, Interesant die gesprekke. Ek is van Namibia en is binnekort by Spirit Word,Pastors and Leaders Confrens, kan nie wag nie. Snaaks dat Deborah so baie aanhaal wat satan kan doen, jy gee hom baie eer. Lyk of jy Regtig meer weet van satanisme as van God se werke Self. Elmarie neem so nou en dan oor by Deborah en as die gesprekke te warm raak , dan DELETE ons die volgende boodskap. As jy verseker is van jou standpunt, hoekom die volgede antwoord DELETE.As jy verkeer handel, DELETE GOD jou of is hy n GOD van Liefde en Geduld. Los nou maar vir Kobus en sy gemeente,as jy nie daar wil wees nie , gaan verby my Suster. Wie gee jou die reg om oor ander mense se lewens te praat.Wonderwerke gebeur daagliks, hoekom nie in Kobus se kerk nie? Julle raak vervelig en het nie iets beter om te doen as om Kamstig mense te waarsku nie. Gee elke mens toe dat hy deur die Gees gelei word.Wie en wat is Elmarie en Deborah . Het julle n Bediening of sit julle tuis en skiet uit die heup.Los elke mens om in Vrede met sy Skeeper te leef. Gaan Voort Profeet Kobus , ek dink jy en jou gesin ervaar die Liefde van God.

  22. Dirk Kock says:

    Deborah, n mens praat nie van n ander mens as n Twit nie. Almal is na die beeld van God geskape, tot die Twits ook. Jy beledig God .

  23. Just a quick update. Still no email from Margart the liar.

  24. I love all these comments by Kobus’ delusional followers. Shows the world what he is really all about.

  25. Elmarie

    Ohhhh you read my mind. Who will lay a complaint about him to the ASA? “Oh pick me!” I say hehe. If ol’ Johan van Wyk’s ministry got into trouble for lying so should Kobus. He has made millions from lying.

  26. Dirk Kock says:

    Deborah, jy loop draaie, geen reguit antwoord nie. Ja gaan na die ASA toe, geen Opregte Christen sou hom daar mee op gehou het nie.God laat sy wil geskiet, nie die van ASA nie.Dit wys my net hoe kleinlik jy is , Jy noem jou n Christen, nee man, dink weer.

  27. Dirk

    Ag shame Dirk sorry that I am no longer a Christian because I made a joke about going to the ASA. I am not going to the ASA. But there might be others who will. If I must go there then I need to complain against EVERY SINGLE ministry in this country who tells lies and leads people astray and takes their tithes and offerings promising people blessings.

  28. While I am complaining, I will go to the Broadcasting Complainst Comission and complain about MNET, ETV, SABC. To the government about the Internet.. oh and schools for removing Christianity.

  29. Dirk

    Deborah, n mens praat nie van n ander mens as n Twit nie. Almal is na die beeld van God geskape, tot die Twits ook. Jy beledig God .

    Firstly, I did not call anyone a twit. I said “who will be the next twit” to come and tell lies. Read properly. But if you insist, I won’t call anyone a twit again for lying. I suppose you are the next liar then that will come and tell us you have proof of Kobus healings? Let me guess, you friend is now 30 years younger and his hair grew back?

  30. Dirk

    Same old nonsense talk from Kobus’ followers. If Kobus wants to be in the public eye then his lies will be exposed in public for all to see. And I see that you think I must keep quiet but YOU can speak against me. Sorry pal, does not work that way. I allow yours and others comments for the simple reason that you do all my work for me by exposing your own Prophet. Carry on 🙂
