GCx Sheep Have Been Spiritually Abused

"But this is a people plundered and looted,
  all of them trapped in pits
  or hidden away in prisons.
They have become plunder,
  with no one to rescue them;
they have been made loot
  with no one to say, "Send them back"
Isaiah 42:22

Our God is all-knowing and he sees those who are his being USED and TRAPPED in the GCx Movement.  He is very aware that the leaders of this contolling movement have fallaciously HOOKED them and ISOLATED them because their very presence, number, money, time, and service are imperative to its very existence and continuance.

This movement perpetuates sanctification through DEDICATION TO THEIR LEADERS AND THEIR ORGANIZATION rather than through Christ working in them through PRESENT ACTIVE FAITH.  Because they have based their subsistence on what they term "higher standard to the Word" which is actually a TWISTING OF THE WORD OF TRUTH, THEY HAVE FALLEN FROM GRACE. They do not practice the GRACE of the Gospel.  Thus, they make themselves appear extremely dedicated by the suffering and sacrifice of their SHEEP, for THEIR OWN GLORY.

"After beginning with the Spirit, are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?  
Have you suffered so much for nothing--if it really was for nothing?  
Galatians 3:3-4

                           

The Gcx sheep have been slyly told that GCx is a BETTER WAY, a highter spiritual calling.  Those who unknowingly want to be the best they can be fall into their pit. They end up doing cadence to a "different" Jesus.  The groups' works become all about self and Gcx exultation, not the Christ of the Bible.

These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me.
They worship me in vain;
their teachings are but rules taught by men."
Matt 15:8 & 9

"LEAVE THEM;  
THEY ARE BLIND GUIDES.

 IF A BLIND MAN LEADS A BLIND MAN, BOTH WILL FALL INTO A PIT."  (Matthew 15:14)


The GREAT SHEPHERD of the sheep who seeks to rescue them cries aloud to the false shepherds holding them captive:

'Give them up!'...
'Do not hold them back.'
Bring my sons from afar
and my daughters from the ends of the earth--
everyone who is called by my name
whom I have created for my glory
whom I formed and made."

To Those Who Are Called to Rescue God's Own from False Teaching:

"Lead out those who have eyes but are blind,
who have ears but are deaf."
Isaiah 43:6-8

BLINDING FOG

If you get a chance watch Beth Moore's inspiring message (which is part of the Hillsong Color Conference) on our astonishing gifting and empowerment by the Holy Spirit because it will open your eyes and enable you.  I saw it on TV today, but if anyone can find the link that would be even better.  

In it she shares how Satan's plan for believers is to steal their gifting and fulfillment of special purposes, since he cannot steal their salvation.  She said part of his scheme is to seduce us into a "trance" or FOG.  I would venture this is an effective way to blind us and deafen us to our personal counselor, the Holy Spirit.  Because of this fog we cannot clearly hear Him or see his direction to us.  Is this why so many of us did not get it when loved ones tried to speak to us about the distraction and danger of (men falsely speaking for God in) GCx?  

The Word says false teachers sit in the seat of Moses declaring they are delivering an oracle from God Almighty.  Isn't that how GCx leaders described their position over us?  Isn't that why we feared to disobey them??

Who has BEWITCHED you?

Galatians 3:1

When I discussed with our local pastor (before leaving), that was exactly one of my points: you don't trust the Holy Spirit in the believers.  You tell them what to do in every single situation, and don't give them a chance to seek the Holy Spirit for themselves.

Margaret,

That is a Really CRUCIAL and REVEALING characteristic of accomplishing BLINDING DARKNESS -


By the way, we may have crossed paths at Valleybrook because I was there until January 1991.  I greeted people (along with the former National Director of GCx) outside the auditorium as they came in.  

(I Try not to share names of any others to give them a chance to repent before GCx is more broadly and properly disgraced.)
