What a Tragedy ‘Prophet’ Kobus van Rensburg
Please 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.

Oh my goodness, you know what I just realised!!! You don’t want me to go to the ASA for the simple reason you are one of Kobus’ skievies trying to protect him.
Well if all his healings are real then he has got nothing to worry about.
No ways. See this is what happens when over a thousand and a half people read your blog on a daily basis. I just received 2 emails from people who said they are writing to the ASA. People who attended Kobus’ church, who were not healed but WERE swindled out of their money.
Did Johan van Wyk pave the way for God’s will to be done regarding false teachers? http://www.discerningtheworld.com/2010/07/23/healing-church-faces-advertising-standards-authority-wrath/ Dirk, your wish has been granted for God’s will to be done.
Nee ou Deborah, niemand “Expose” hulle nie behalwe jy jouself, selfde ou verveelige antwoorde en aanhalings.Ek sien jy geniet dit om jou self te ontbloot tot op die been, Geluk.Jy is meer as welkom om na ASA te gaan, ek probeer jou nie keer nie,LEES WEER WAT EK GESKRYF HET,MOET NIE AANNAMES MAAK NIE.Weereens, niemand is jou skievie nie, ek is na die beeld van GOD geskape en jy beledig God, ….. dan praat jy van Expose, ek kry jou so jammer, en ai kyk hoe bewe almal oor die dreigement met ASA. Vrees kom nie van God nie!Kobus kan hom self beskerm want GOD is met hom, so ek het nie nodig om vir hom te skerm nie, maar wie gaan jou Beskerm met die skerp tong.
Dirk
Your comments are boring as well. How about using some scripture to back up your false prophet Kobus. This should be interesting. In fact why don’t you show us solid proof of healings he performs?
Deborah, jy soek net Scripture om te PROBEER wys jy weet waarvan jy praat. Ek ken baie mense wat verse in die Bybel aan haal en dit se my nie veel van hulle geloofwaardigheid nie. Ag suster ek bly lief vir jou en bid vir jou. Kom kyk sommer self na die Healings wat plaas vind en dan kan ons sommer bid vir daai Jezebel spirit in jou.Asseblief man, erken dit nou maar.Dis geen skande nie,God is nog steeds lief vir jou my ou sussie en so ook ons almal. Ek bid vir jou.
Dirk
Here is some scripture for you to start thinking about.
Deuteronomy 5:6–21
7 you shall have no other gods before me.
– Kobus is a false teacher and does not serve the one and only Living God of the Bible.
8 You shall not make for yourself an idol, whether in the form of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
– Kobus has a huge Crucifix hanging in his church of the Eucharist Catholic Christ (A FALSE GOD)
9 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me,
11 You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not acquit anyone who misuses his name.
– Kobus and his followers misuse the name of God daily, taking His name in vein – through lies, promises of healings that are false.
19 Neither shall you steal.
– Stealing money from the sick
Dirk
I asked for scripture and now you are saying that the only reason I am asking for it is to show that I know what I am speaking about? That’s funny. Your comment shows me that you know nothing and can’t quote scripture. It’s nothing new really. ALL Kobus’ worshippers don’t know their bibles at all.
Dirk
How can you call me Jezebel and your sister at the same time? That was not smart.
I think you should stop commenting, you are making a fool out of yourself. Actually let me help you. No more comments from you. You can’t quote scripture, you can’t give me proof, you can’t do anything except repeat yourself and get insulting. Good bye.
Who is next from your church to come and have a go? Make sure they can quote scripture. Make sure they have even opened their bibles for that matter.
Dirk
I will give you the same answer I gave Margaret on 11 July, 2010 at 8:25 pm.
You are in my prayers to open your eyes and also for your ears to open and get your family away from that place. We have given you enough Biblical proof to clearly see that Kobus van Rensburg is a self appointed False Prophet and we cannot help you any longer if you won’t listen. Please don’t bother coming back here as WE WILL CONTINUE TO EXPOSE KOBUS VAN RENSBURG’S EVIL FALSE TEACHINGS.
[EDITED: You have been blacklisted. Stop commenting – they will automatically be deleted]
[EDITED: Dear Debbie who has now returned under the alias of Dominique, 1) You are laying 2) It’s stupid – You are now blacklisted]

Wow it’s amazing how one guy(Prophet Kobus van Rensburg) can get you religious types to turn your back on Gospel of Jesus, which is loving thy Neighbour. I mean the comments from you Deborah seems more like hate to me.
Brian
Us religious types hold to the Word of God. It defines the Gospel:
What you identify as the Gospel, we call Law, as Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior did:
Clearly you have been misled into believing that the Law is Good News. It is not. If you break the Law, even once, you will face the righteous wrath of God. That is very bad news indeed.
The Good News, the Gospel, is that Jesus Christ faced the wrath of God on your behalf. Only He is able to save you from your just punishment. We have faith in Jesus Christ as our savior and therefor we are called Christians. We will never, ever turn our back on the Gospel.
You referred to the Law. Look again at the first commandment. Part of loving God is not to give the honour that belongs to Him alone to man. Kobus claims that he or whoever his prophecy is addressed to, is of the same stature as Christ, ruling with Him!
Look at the second commandment. Part of loving your neighbour is to warn him against false teachings. Kobus is teaching his followers that they can claim their immortality here and now. They believe that they are getting younger!
If you, Brian, reject the clear teachings of Jesus Christ Himself about false prophets, then what is your religion? Surely you cannot then call yourself a Christian? What is the name of your religion?
Brian
You are confused. We are Christians who condemn Kobus who preaches a false gospel of blasphemies and it’s sad that you can’t tell good from bad. Go pick up your bible Brian and read it.
YOU CAN BE SURE THAT YOUR END WILL BE PITIFUL. YOU HAVE RAISED YOUR HEAL AGAINST A PROPHET
Charles
Yeah….right….
*boring*
Deborah, answer Charles please, not with ” Yeah…. Right” Jezzebelle is still in you. We must pray together. I found out where you live, so i will come and see you when i come down for the conferece. You people are blind and is under the Law.
enjoy your day.

It has been brought to my attention that personal security threats are being made by certain supporters of secularized cults or false churches and preachers, whose anti-Christian practices are exposed on this blog and other related Christian websites and blogs.
There has been a documented and recorded statement made by one of these supporters to the effect that personal harm is intended and that a breach of personal privacy will be attempted by that supporter on certain lady writers in South Africa on this blog. While it remains the policy, practice and belief of the Body inexorably connected to the functioning of this blog, to maintain the autonomy of the blog, matters of security are of institutional importance.
Although it is the obvious intent of this blog to permit, encourage and facilitate the public airing of multiple viewpoints, it remains private proprietorship and intellectual property where over the accepted national and international legalities apply.
It must serve, however, as legal fair warning, that personal attack on any individual contributor to this blog will not be tolerated by the extended Body of it’s members. It further stands to reason that, due to the internet based nature and format of this blog, supra-standard security measures ensuring the personal security and the intellectual property of the blog are in place.
These measures can be equated to being monitored by closed circuit security employed by financial and other institutions, only in this instance it is internet based procedure. Private information will not be made public.
This warning extends to the person whom I will refrain from publicly identifying at this point as a matter of courtesy, but who has been informed that we are in possession of necessary details to facilitate the actual physical and legal protection of the blog writers.
On a personal note, I wish to bring it to your attention (ie. the person who is the subject of my comment), that you will not gain access to the property of the women you are threatening, and neither will you have the simplified task you imagine of dealing with women only when you are close to their locale. Christians are certainly not defenseless pacifists under threat of persons with evil intent.
You have certainly not succeeded in driving the lady writers on this blog into a corner as you have said, but you have put yourself into a very undesirable position with the men. I suggest you check the blog statistics to see what numbers you could be dealing with. You are free to comment, hurl insults and hold to whatever false belief and evil ‘prophets’ you like, but you are not free to make unanswered physical threats here.
This will be a warning statement that failure to achieve prompt correction may result in enforcement action without further notice. While examples of what such actions may be could be included, there will not be any commitment that enforcement action will be taken.

Ek merk op dat jy graag van ons manne hier by die blog wil kom sien. Magtig man, jy’s welkom om ‘n tee of koffietjie te kom geniet hier by ons. Ons sal selfs ‘n vleisie op die kole kan brand as jy honger is, en hier by ons sal jy na hartelus oor die Here Jesus, nooit uitgepraat raak nie. Ek wil net waarsku dat ‘n ongemanierde, aggressiewe houding soos joune nie so lekker gaan uitwerk nie. Jy sal hier moet aankom met ‘n Christelike houding, nie die een waarmee jy so graag op die blog skryf nie.
Jy sien, die welsyn van die kerk, die Liggaam van Christus en die Christelike Geloof is waaroor Christen ouens net soms ‘n bietjie ernstig raak. Wanneer daar deur ander valse religieuse radikales daaraan afbreek gedoen word, dan raak Christene so klein bietjie ‘upset’, as jy weet wat ek bedoel.
Maar moenie dat dit jou afskrik nie, kom maak ‘n draai by ons meisies en by ons op kantoor, en dan kyk ons hoe die dag uitdraai. Wie weet, miskien gaan jy daar weg met ‘n luwe lied vir Jesus in jou hart, en ‘n passie vir die Waarheid.
Wanneer se jy sal dit wees?
Deborah, ek dink nie jy is ver verkeerd nie. Dis nodig dat ons moet weerle en vermaan wanneer dit nodig is. Het jy al na die “popo” gospel liedjie geluister? Ja, die wereld moet weet, al die kindertjies van Jesus is nie “popos” nie. Laat ons nie ophou om vir n verloregaande wereld te bid nie. Jesus se koms is voor die deur, en ons kleed moet vlekkeloos wees. Die woordjie vlekkeloos spreek boekdele, en die Regterstoel oordeel, (let wel nie die wittroon oordeel nie) is op hande. Mag die Here ons WAARDIG AG, sodat ons hierdie dinge wat oor die wereld gaan kom mag ontvlug, en sodoende in Sy teenwoordigheid te kan wees.

Mark Them Which Cause Division http://www.discerningtheworld.com/2010/09/11/mark-them-which-cause-division/
Romans 16:17-18 (King James Version)
17Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.
18For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Kobus is so lucky to be warned sooooooo many times of his error. Many people in the world never get to hear that they are doing wrong. Maybe one day Kobus will wake up.

As Christians We Must Judge Righteously http://www.discerningtheworld.com/2010/09/11/as-christians-we-must-judge-righteously/
As Christians we do NOT judge a person life, i.e., sin, because we are all sinners (Matt 7:1). But the Bible does command us to judge fellow Christians teachings and their fruit. We judge/test their teachings/doctrine to make sure it is correct and that it ties up with scripture.
There are many verses in the bible where we are told to JUDGE/TEST:
———–
1 Thessalonians 5:21 (Amplified Bible)
21But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast.
———–
Matthew 7:15-20 (Amplified Bible)
15Beware of false prophets, who come to you dressed as sheep, but inside they are devouring wolves.
16You will fully recognize them by their fruits. Do people pick grapes from thorns, or figs from thistles?
17Even so, every healthy (sound) tree bears good fruit [worthy of admiration], but the sickly (decaying, worthless) tree bears bad (worthless) fruit.
18A good (healthy) tree cannot bear bad (worthless) fruit, nor can a bad (diseased) tree bear [excellent fruit [worthy of admiration].
19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and cast into the fire.
20Therefore, you will fully know them by their fruits.
———–
1 Corinthians 5:12-13 (Amplified Bible)
12What [business] of mine is it and what right have I to judge outsiders? Is it not those inside [the church] upon whom you are to pass disciplinary judgment [passing censuring sentence on them as the facts require]?
13God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside. Drive out that wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].
———–
1 Corinthians 14:29 (Amplified Bible)
29 So let two or three prophets speak [those inspired to preach or teach], while the rest pay attention and weigh and discern what is said.
———–
John 7:24 (Amplified Bible)
24Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously.
———–
Titus 1:9-16 (Amplified Bible)
9He must hold fast to the sure and trustworthy Word of God as he was taught it, so that he may be able both to give stimulating instruction and encouragement in sound (wholesome) doctrine and to refute and convict those who contradict and oppose it [showing the wayward their error].
10For there are many disorderly and unruly men who are idle (vain, empty) and misleading talkers and self-deceivers and deceivers of others. [This is true] especially of those of the circumcision party [who have come over from Judaism].
11Their mouths must be stopped, for they are mentally distressing and subverting whole families by teaching what they ought not to teach, for the purpose of getting base advantage and disreputable gain.
12One of their [very] number, a prophet of their own, said, Cretans are always liars, hurtful beasts, idle and lazy gluttons.
13And this account of them is [really] true. Because it is [true], rebuke them sharply [deal sternly, even severely with them], so that they may be sound in the faith and free from error,
14[And may show their soundness by] ceasing to give attention to Jewish myths and fables or to rules [laid down] by [mere] men who reject and turn their backs on the Truth.
15To the pure [in heart and conscience] all things are pure, but to the defiled and corrupt and unbelieving nothing is pure; their very minds and consciences are defiled and polluted.
16They profess to know God [to recognize, perceive, and be acquainted with Him], but deny and disown and renounce Him by what they do; they are detestable and loathsome, unbelieving and disobedient and disloyal and rebellious, and [they are] unfit and worthless for good work (deed or enterprise) of any kind.
———–
1 John 4 (Amplified Bible)
1BELOVED, DO not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test) the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false prophets have gone forth into the world.
I am praying for the people of this website to see the error of thier ways. In Jesus name. Amen
JESUS LOVES EVERYONE ON THIS WEBSITE. HAVE AN AWESOME DAY
Brendan
Who are you speaking too? Kobus’ followers or the writers of this website?

I do believe you have commented before as JANE, Brian, and “Not Necessary”. Please pick a personality and stick to it.
