“Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” – Matthew 7:15.
As Christian reality television shows continue to descend to new levels of blasphemy against the faith, Lifetime television’s “Preach” is the latest installment that mocks the Word of God for entertainment. The show follows four “prophetesses” who serve as pastors of apostate prosperity Gospel ministries and mentors to up and coming apprentices who are trying to “earn the title of Prophetess.” In one of the most blasphemous display ever put on television, these women supposedly have the power to call on the Holy Spirit to perform numerous miracles, signs and wonders, dazzling their many deceived followers with the wildly unbiblical teachings. The show is a perfect example of how far the modern, Biblically illiterate church has fallen into the apostasy – the prophesied end times falling away in the church from Biblical Christianity, into man-centered false doctrines that deceive millions of people in pews every Sunday.
The Trailer
Here is the trailer for the show:
And here is the official synopsis:
Prayers are about to be answered with Lifetime’s all-new docuseries “Preach,” premiering Friday, June 5th, at 10pm ET/PT. With the religious leadership world primarily dominated by men, the show produced by CORE Media Group follows four powerful female leaders who believe God has given them the ability to heal the sick, see the future and rid people of their addictions. Known as “Prophetesses,” these women speak as the interpreter through whom the will of God is expressed. In order for their legacy to continue, they must enlist a “protégé” and teach them how to carry on their gift. These Queens of the Church each have different styles and their own special way of delivering God’s message, but all are united in their love of the Lord.
The Age of Satanic Deception
“Prophetess” Taketa Williams “blows” the Holy Spirit into a follower’s face.
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. – Matthew 24:24.
When asked about the definitive signs that the end of the world and His Second Coming were approaching, The Lord Jesus Christ gave a startling reply:
“..Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” – Matthew 24:4-5.
The “end times” – a term for the final years leading up the Great Tribulation and the Second Coming of Christ – would be marked by unprecedented spiritual deception. Jesus stated that “many” people would emerge on the public scene presenting themselves as Christians, being anointed of God or even being the Messiah themselves, when in fact they were spiritually corrupted deceivers. This trend has taken hold in the church as many apostate, false pastors in thousands of churches all over the world are telling their followers they have “the anointing” or a special “power from God” and in fact they are impostors teaching unbiblical heresies and leading their congregations away from Biblical Christianity and the true Gospel of Jesus Christ and into man-made, person-centered false teachings.
Preach is a perfect example of this rampant deception. From the opening minutes of the first episode, the “Lady Prophetesses” as they call themselves, proclaim that their preaching is directly from God. Dressed in designer fashion and living in opulent mansions, these women repeatedly brag about their mighty spiritual powers. They heal the sick, battle demons of drug addiction and alcohol. Some even claim to have resurrected the dead during church services. And all have the power to “slay in the spirit” – where they can knock a person unconscious by merely touching their foreheads. Here are some of the statements from Prophetess Dr. Belinda Scott:
“we’re not just preachers, we receive divine messages straight from God.”
“I have a mandate to speak for God. The gift was bestowed on me at the age of 11 years old.”
“The test of a prophetess is that – that which they speak comes to pass. I was able to see the events of Hurricane Katrina in a dream weeks before it happened..”
The True Test of A Prophet
Dr. Belinda Scott uses her “prophetic” powers on a follower.
Deuteronomy 13 outlines the tests of whether a prophet is truly sent from God or is a messenger of Satan:
If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee. – Deuteronomy 13:1-5.
Notice that the Bible confirms that a false prophet can make a prediction that actually comes to pass. So just being able to make an accurate prediction of the future or perform a wonder does not validate a prophet. The passage continues to command that believers evaluate the doctrine of this prophet. If what they preach is not in line with the Word of God (and thus would lead a listener to a false God or false version of Jesus Christ) they are not a true prophet or prophetess and we are commanded by God to not follow them. Notice that The Lord provides the reason for why false prophets were even permitted – as a test. God uses false prophets to “proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.” If you are studying your Bible and evaluating the preaching you hear based on Scripture then you are demonstrating your faith in God’s Word over any man or woman’s. This is showing a love for God. So a Christian must use the Bible as the ultimate authority and be wary of all preaching until it seems clear that the preacher is teaching in line with sound Biblical doctrine.
Preach opens its first episode with Dr. Scott proclaiming: “For many years preaching has been a man’s game, but it’s our turn now.” The purpose of this statement is to boldly announce that the women on the show all serve as pastors of their respective churches in Ohio. The Bible is clear on the requirements for a pastor:
This is a true saying, if a man desire the office of a bishop, he desireth a good work. A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. – 1 Timothy 3:1-5.
The office of pastor is ordained by God for be held by men, and specifically “the husband of one wife.” In 1 Timothy chapter 2 the Scriptures say: “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.” (1 Timothy 2:11-14).
A true prophetess would not act in rebellion against God’s Word.
So from its very first line, the women of Preach are acting in direct contradiction to God’s Word. So should a Christian be following these women? If a person reads God’s Word and follows someone preaching the opposite they are showing more love for man (or woman) than for The Lord. This is the test God is referring to in Deuteronomy 13. It is a test of the heart and where a person’s faith truly lies. And the women of Preach, like many other apostate false prophets are able to seduce their followers from loving God with flashy style, over the top theatrical preaching and a message that is centered on the listener and their earthly, wants needs and desires.
To no surprise all four of the prophetesses preach the wildly unbiblical Prosperity Gospel heresy that states that every Christian should be healthy, wealthy, fashionable and materially successful. This doctrine preached by some of the most famous pastors today such as Joel Osteen, T.D. Jakes and Creflo Dollar – has no basis in Scripture whatsoever. But yet, people all across the world are being swept up in its appeal to the flesh. The Bible predicted this would take place as the end times approached:
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 long suffering 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 Timothy 4:1-4.
A quick examination of the preaching of the women of Preach and it becomes clear that they are trying to scratch “itching ears”, with a theatrical, entertainment-style message. Here is Prophetess Linda Roark preaching a message from the book of Ezekiel:
This ridiculous display is not Biblical Christianity. Notice Roark takes one small paraphrase of Scripture and then turns it into her own message “from God.” Screaming phrases like “God said you gotta learn to swim!” or “God says you gotta catch the wave!” While sprawled on the floor, she works the crowd into a frenzy as her backup band plays exhilarating music to continue the emotional thrill ride. This style of preaching may seem silly but it is taking place in thousands of churches every Sunday. The Bible is mainly used as introductory material for the false prophet’s performance who continually says things not from the Bible but attributes them to God. This is a demonic deception that is leading many into damnation.
The proteges are trained in the false doctrines of the show.
1 Corinthians 14 provided an outline of how prophesying should be done in the first century church of Corinth. This was a church where many people were showing off their “gifts” and services had become disorderly displays and not focused on teaching God’s Word and giving Him glory. The Apostle Paul, under inspiration of the Holy Spirit wrote in his rebuke to them:
How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge. If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. – 1 Corinthians 14:27-33.
Was Prophetess Roark edifying the church during that sermon? Was the Word of God truly being taught? Was there a person interpreting her prophesying? No, instead it was just a wild, unbiblical performance that was promoting nothing but confusion. The Apostle Paul continued his instructions for church service stating:
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church. What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only? If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. – 1 Corinthians 14:27-37.
Clearly Roark was anything but “silent.” Paul ends this section by saying that anyone who deems themselves a prophet must acknowledge that the commands of 1 Corinthians 14 are not his opinions – they are divinely-inspired commands of God. So is Roark truly following God or acting out in disobedience? From the clear meaning of Scripture she is rebelling against the commands of The Lord. Therefore she cannot be a true prophet of God because her doctrine is leading people away from God and not towards penitent faith in the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the cross.
Here is a clip of Prophetess Taketa Williams preaching on Judges Chapter 4. Williams, who refers to herself as “the Beyonce of Gospel” (which alone should be a red flag that any woman of God want to title herself after an x-rated performer), told her followers during her TV ministry broadcast that she “prophesies” while being intimate with her husband. And yet despite such outright blasphemy and perversion she boldly proclaims that she receives her messages directly from God [B&E: Williams comes on at 40 seconds into the video]:
This clip is a very good example of how seductive a false prophet can be. Williams like Roark speaks with unlimited passion and energy. In the passage she is preaching from the Israelites had fallen into sinful rebellion against God by worshiping false idols and demons. As a result The Lord punished the ancient nation by allowing their enemies the Canaanites to attack and overpower them. The prophetess Deborah – a true Prophetess of God, instructed a soldier named Barak to lead an army to fight against Sisera, the much-feared military leader of the Canaanites. Once Barak agreed Deborah prophesied that while Barak would be victorious the ultimate glory for killing Sisera would go to a woman. This prophecy was fulfilled at the end of Judges Chapter 4:
Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No.
Then Jael Heber’s wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples. So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan. – Judges 4:17-24.
This amazing chapter of Scripture teaches so many powerful lessons. The need for repentance when a people or an individual are deep in sin. Crying out to God and The Lord answering prayer. It details the work of a true prophetess – who delivers God’s Word and directs others in order to bring God glory. [B&E: While a woman cannot hold the office of pastor there is certainly Biblical support for a woman being a prophetess]. Barak was the military leader in the chapter, but he was merely a servant executing God’s plan. It was God who “discomfited” and defeated the Canaanite army. By the time Barak and his men attacked, Sisera and his once-mighty armies were already running in fear. And just as Deborah accurately prophesied, Sisera did not fall at the hands of Barak but at the hands of Jael, who of course was carrying out God’s ordained plan to liberate Israel from the Canaanite oppression. Her assassination of Sisera also provides a powerful foreshadow of the defeat of the Antichrist by The Lord Jesus Christ (for more on this see our article: “Jael The Assassin: Foreshadow of Jesus’ Victory Over Satan and The Antichrist.”)
A protege serves as “Armor Bearer” for superstar false prophetess Linda Roark.
The true Biblical lessons from this passage are about God, not us. Prophetess Williams preaches on this passage and puts all the focus on Jael and her strategy to make Sisera fall asleep. Jael was a “shot caller” and a “baller” and of course the conclusion from that is you can be one too. This is not Biblical preaching. It’s using the Bible as a pretext to teach a self-empowerment message. It is a very subtle way of preaching that puts all of the focus on the individual and not on God. And certainly on the show Preach that is obvious – at no point in the first hour-long episode of the show is there any mention of the Gospel, forgiveness of sin or the need for repentance. The focus is squarely on the four ladies, how fabulous they are and all of the magical powers they have allegedly received from God.
Being “Slain In The Spirit!” And Deliverance – Demonic Deception
There is nothing in the Bible about the heretical practice of being “slain in the spirit.”
Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. – Jeremiah 23:1-2.
The main event of the show is the “Deliverance Service” where hundreds of deceived churchgoers can come and have the Prophetesses “lay hands” on them and “slay them in the spirit” – knocking them unconscious with a simple touch to the forehead – to provide a miracle such as healing, financial breakthrough, release from drug addiction and other amazing claims. Slaying in the spirit is not in the Bible. There is absolutely no place in the entire Bible where any prophet, priest or preacher ever touches or pushes a person to render them unconscious for Holy Spirit deliverance. This is a completely man-made heresy that has no place in Biblical Christianity. During the early days of the first century church, the Apostles – men appointed by God, were selecting the first deacons to assist in the management of church functions this is where a clear example of “laying hands” is given in Scripture:
And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables. Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith. And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. – Acts 6:1-8.
Notice with the laying of hands there was no one falling on the ground. No one was crying, screaming or having convulsions on the floor. The Holy Spirit, at that time, before the Word of God had been fully written, was transferred by the Apostles (those who had firsthand witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ) to men of “honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom.” It was to ordain and grant miraculous power as a demonstration that these men were truly sent from God. This is how their words could be trusted as the New Testament of the Bible was not yet written.
This is not the effect of the Holy Spirit of God.
The Apostle Paul who fell when Jesus appeared to him from the sky in Acts chapter 9, had hands laid on him by a disciple named Ananias to heal the temporary blindness Paul suffered from:
And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales: and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized. And when he had received meat, he was strengthened. Then was Saul certain days with the disciples which were at Damascus. And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God. – Acts 9:17-20.
Paul was healed of his divinely-imposed blindness for a specific reason – to empower him to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The laying of hands was an ordination for the work of the church – preaching the Gospel and teaching God’s Word to others. It was not done just to perform signs and wonders and dazzle crowds. It was not done to focus on personal, earthly problems. And there was no recording of anyone falling or passing out as a result of being touched by an Apostle. It was also done on very few occasion during a very short time period in the church. By the time several decades passed the miracles performed by the Apostles basically ceased. The Apostle even advised his own disciple Timothy to drink wine for his stomach illness and the many other infirmities he was dealing with.
Yet the women of Preach are supposedly performing miracles each day and can even use their sweat to “anoint” a follower. Their protégés, young women they are training to “earn the title of prophetess” have to follow the prophetesses around, serving as bodyguards (the show gives them the title “armor bearer”) and personal assistants to their “diva” mentors. And as is the case in most apostate churches the protégés are in awe of their Prophetesses. When one young lady is told she will be helping to slay in the spirit at a “Deliverance” meeting, she exclaims “this is like getting my first pair of red bottoms…this is big” (a reference comparing serving God to getting a pair of designer shoes). Another protégé is taught by her Prophetess to focus on God’s power by going to a gun range for shooting practice. At no point is Bible study referenced or any teaching of the Gospel taking place.
The Judgment of False Prophets
Taketa Williams wipes her sweat to “anoint” her protege with “the spirit”.
Here is a clip of false Prophetess Kelly Crew preaching on “mindset shift”:
So by her account the problem of the congregation is not their sin – it is that they are shopping on the wrong rack at the clothing store because they should not be looking for discounts. Despite not giving any type or Biblical preaching the crowd is on their feet, dancing and praising this message. Jeremiah 23 contains a scathing rebuke of prophets and pastors who preach messages that are not truly from God’s Word:
Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. For who hath stood in the counsel of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?… I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of their doings. – Jeremiah 23:16-18; 21-22.
Saying “peace” is what the false prophetesses of preach build their ministry on. With a sole focus on earthly prosperity they constantly tell their followers that their healing, financial breakthrough or new relationship is just moments away. They encourage their congregations to focus on their own material status rather than worry about their eternal destiny, God’s judgment and giving God praise not just because you are going to receive a raise, but because your name is written in the Book of Life. And the prophets should be warning people about their sin, something that is not mentioned at all in the first episode of Preach.
Pray For These Women
Dr. Belinda Scott passes on her prophetic super powers via prayer shawl.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that steal my words every one from his neighbour. Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the LORD, that use their tongues, and say, He saith. Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams, saith the LORD, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them: therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the LORD. – Jeremiah 23:30-32.
Pray for the women of Preach to repent of their numerous demonic heresies and humble themselves before God and His Word. And pray for the many tens to hundreds of thousands of people who listen and watch these women. Pray for return to sound Biblical doctrine and discernment in the church. Jesus Christ said: “Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.” (Matthew 5:13). Much of the Christian church today has abandoned Biblical teaching in favor of entertainment-based, emotional-thrill ride experience that focus on themselves and ignore the true teaching of the Bible – which is to save your soul from damnation in hell because of your sin.
And the beauty of the true Gospel of Christianity is that despite how much these women have sinned and defied God and despite the sin this author and all who read have committed – we can be forgiven through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross. Jesus did not die so that we can be “delivered” to a new home or car. He did not shed His precious blood on the cross to ensure we would have no health problems. He died so that all who can believe can escape the guilt and punishment we rightly deserve for our sins and have eternal life. He gave His life so that all who confess their sins and trust in Him can be inheritors with Him of the world to come, not this fallen, corrupted world. If you are a Christian, commit yourself to studying God’s Word and test every preacher or proclaimed prophet by the Bible, not by how charismatic or entertaining they may be. And if you are not a Christian do not let a foolish TV show be your excuse to ignore God’s call to repent. Learn God’s true message of forgiveness and truly receive deliverance.
*Preach has now been officially cancelled.
Noswaith Dda/Good evening and Hi
For once I have to agree that all televangelist, male and female, are nothing more that money grabbing con artists, who dupe the vulnerable just to make a quick buck. They have no morals, and are knowingly being deceitful, just to enhance and enrich their own lives at the expense of others. What they are doing, you may call blasphemy, I call it criminal, no different from thieves, robbers, tricksters and fraudsters, all of which you will find in the stories of the Bible.
Cofion (Regards)

This is old news! And you should give credit where credit is due: A woman names Tachina Carter poasted a petition at Change.org 2 mos. ago to have Preacher taken off the air. Nearly 15,000 people signed it & lifetime dropped the show on June 15.
The real point here is that several thousand Christians — who have NOT fallen into apostasy — recognized these “prophetesses” as false leaders of counterfeit churches & got them kicked off the air. May God bless everyone who signed that petition!
And JERO: Yes, you will find “thieves, robbers, tricksters & fraudsters” in the bible because it is populated with the stories of real, flawed, sinful people. But if you actually Read The Book, you’ll see that many of those people accepted Jesus & His teachings, were born anew & achieved salvation. Twelve became apostles & followed Jesus, healing the sick, raising the dead & preaching the gospel throughout the ancient world. Plus the story has a great ending!

Anybody who is truly a messenger of God does not boast about what they can do or what they’ve done. They push the focus off of themselves and onto the saving grace of Jesus Christ. Our Lord told us you can judge a tree by it’s fruit. These women are clearly not of God, one reason being their bragging of the gifts that God has supposedly given them.
These women are either frauds or serving Satan. As B&E correctly mentioned, just because a person can perform “miracles” doesn’t mean they are of God. There are many people that serve Satan through black magic, witchcraft, higher stages of yoga and other activities that can do things beyond the ability of a normal human being. We know their true colors by first judging their character and second, asking ourselves what purpose does the “miracle” serve. Is it promoting the kingdom of Jesus or is it all for show (like a magic act) to try and give validity to a false prophet?
We must all beware of this type of behavior. The bible says that this activity will increase during the final days before our Lord returns. Many more people will have Satanic ability to perform “miracles” or un-explainable feats. Those who cling to God and live by the Spirit will not be deceived by these liars and agents of evil.

Who can war with the Beast states the Bible – Who can war with America, whose SODOMIC character was recently revealed by its courts. Sodom come as the Marker even unto the “Mark of the Beast” for without it can neither Buy or Sell (Trade) reflected today by the “Economic Sanctions” imposed on Russia by the west in the name of Ukraine when spiritually it is because Russia by its Orthodox Church stands against the western sodomic onslaught, the Marker eventually to be extended to the whole world even individually ,to fulfilling the Prophecy.
The beast in turn governed by the False Prophet “Freemasonry by Theosophy’ , Zech 5, wound its way into the UN prayer hall , the head symbol of theosophy -the Hindu “OM” Lo Egypt again denoted by the many alien alters figured in the British Freemasonic Israeli supreme court(in the absence of the temple), is but the Continuation of a conspiracy as mentioned by Jeremiah before the scattering, in the OT ”For there is seen a conspiracy among the princes of Judah” even unto gathering a people in violence through freemasonry..
Is it any wonder as to why Jesus warned “Beware of the Leaven of the Pharisees & Herod” even the warning unto the days of Lot “Remember Lots wife” against the Complacency towards Sodom, the Marker, that which critically contradicts the structure of the human family based on the First Holy Family of God, The Throne.
Now since the Beast has been revealed the woman decked in riches & royalty, that rides it is but “PROTESTANTISM,” itself established through the Harlotry of the Royalty then, rebelling against the Parent Church & is seen the Beast , trampling upon her, even unto the words of the Pharaoh “America is no more a christian country” , for the fool who thinks Christianity is Protestantism unaware of the Church that moves in the Spirit, against which the gates of hell will not prevail.
Even as the Beast subdues the nations, installs puppet rulers to eventually gather them against the Lamb, unto the great & terrible day of the Lord , when the Beast , False Prophet , Satan & all that goes with it will find themselves in the Lake of Fire, prepared for such as these.

Hi Abey,
You said,
Now since the Beast has been revealed the woman decked in riches & royalty, that rides it is but “PROTESTANTISM,” itself established through the Harlotry of the Royalty then, rebelling against the Parent Church & is seen the Beast , trampling upon her, even unto the words of the Pharaoh “America is no more a christian country” , for the fool who thinks Christianity is Protestantism unaware of the Church that moves in the Spirit, against which the gates of hell will not prevail.
Where do you get this idea from? It seems to me, the only “church” who decks itself in riches and gold, especially scarlet robes is the Roman Catholic church! Protestantism is one of the major divisions of the Christian faith. Traditionally, Protestantism includes all churches outside of the Roman Catholic and Orthodox Church traditions. Protestant churches affirm the principles of the Protestant Reformation set into motion by Martin Luther’s 95 Theses in 1517. Protestants were first called by that name because they “protested” against the papacy and Roman rule within the Church.
Protestantism itself contains many different denominations. They include the Lutheran Church (named after Martin Luther), the Presbyterian Church (associated with John Knox), and the Baptists (also called the Free Church movement and associated with churches that baptize only believers).
The Protestant tradition has historically been represented by the five solas: faith alone, Christ alone, grace alone, Scripture alone, and God’s glory alone. Is there something wrong these five solas?

——- so what is important is what it will all end in , even as the Beast, False Prophet & Satan & all that goes with it find themselves in the lake of Fire & as a testimony to this truth- The visionary in the Spirit heard his name being called from a far off, to which the Holy Spirit prompts him to head the call , by then one of the Cherubs from the Ark of the Covenant ( that which Apostle John witnessed in the temple in heaven, for unto God there is only one Covenant, as the one made by Moses was a copy of the Original one that the Apostle witnessed ), even as the Cherub stood beside the visionary, eyes as of fire & a book in hand asking him to look for his name in it, he did find himself in the book & beside him also stood a lake “Death Still” , the prophesied lake of fire, for those whose names are not found in the book – The Lamb’s book of Life.

the HOLY SPIRIT can make ppl fall down or even fall forwards which a person says is the actual HOLY GHOST is to fall forward.
I do believe ppl fake it as well.
Just be alarmed because the Pharisees said JESUS was using satans power 2 perform miracles & ended up blaspheming the HOLY GHOST!
that’s why when you see signs / wonders etc it’s best to be quite because it could be the HOLY GHOST!

Nothing but a bunch of foolishness. Back in the day the preacher would talk on subject in the bible first, the the organs would play to get everybody all riled up; and then that’s when the laying on the hands and blowing on people to knock them out would start. These chicks here are not even quoting bible verses, they just out right blowing on people and they fall out.

These women are jezebels and this great article points this out in every aspect. They have probably been ‘trained’ from a young age to present these heresies. Just as Joyce Meyer, Paul White, etc. etc. are brought in by satan to ‘perform’ their wonders and flash their wealth with glittering clothing and jewels, they are seducing men and women into hell. Discernment is a very powerful gift from God and, through prayer and trusting wholly in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, we can learn to discern these false prophets/prophetesses.
They are, unfortunately, doing a good job in deceiving the masses with their witchcraft of of using their false spirits and demons to trick vulnerable people who probably genuinely want God to be their saviour.
What a shame that these whores of satan manage to deceive so many people and seduce them into the hell that is waiting for them.
Even if one person will stop watching these so called televangelists and concentrate on the beauty God provides us, even looking outside at the trees and flowers and going to the beach to see God’s wonders – for free!! No-one needs to give money to anyone to learn about God and get God’s blessings, it is already there for us, people are just blinded by false idols and deceived by satan’s little messengers.
God bless you all.

It’s very clear that we live in the end times and that all the things predicted in the Bible will come to pass.So let us be careful not to blaspheme against the Holy Ghost ourselves. It is important for us to remember that when the Holy Spirit came upon the apostles for the first time there were people who believed that they were drunk.That same Spirit is working among us today and is not limited by our actions or thoughts. I believe that the Good Lord in His perfect wisdom works in His own ways for our good. The Lord uses who ever He pleases let’s not forget that Moses’s sister was a prophetess and there were a few more in the Old Testament.I think as Christians the best we can actually do is pray to God to reveal himself to us and also commit all false prophets and prophetesses into the hands of the Lord so that he can actually turn them around and use them for His own Glory. Winning of souls is the most important thing in the kingdom of God so let us play us part by praying and sharing theGospel with others.God is not limited read;Joel 2 :28-29. Lets share the love.God Bess U.Love.

I do believe in the gifts of the Holy Ghost… I believe in Healing, Tongues, and all the gifts of the Holy Ghost are active today… That being said, whenever I see televangelist, or prophet, I’m IMMEDIATELY concerned. If you take the international level, it’s concerning. Joel Olsteen for example only speaks about what his audience wants to hear. These 4 ‘prophetesses’ seemed to only be preaching about advancing in your own life, that just concerns me. I am a believer in Gifts, but this does not seem like it. I don’t know… I just am wary about televangelists in general.

First, let me say I do not know the women in this discussion and will not try to judge their ministries. I will just reveal the truth of God’s Word and Kingdom.
Let’s look at the evidence that Christ is the head of the Congregation and that males and females are equal within the Body of Christ. When the disciples came out of the Upper Room, which was a mixed group of men, women and children, they all had a fresh infilling of the holy Spirit, with the addition of the new gift of supernatural prayer language, speaking in tongues. Men and women are equal in the Congregation, as taught by the apostle Paul in a letter to the Galatians.
Galatians 3: 27-28 KJB
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Paul taught that Father God is no respecter of persons. We must allow Him freedom to operate the gifts He has given as He wills. We must not quench the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:18 and 28 KJB
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, AS IT HATH PLEASED HIM… 28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
Two scriptures are used to prove that only males are appointed to offices in the Body. Paul would not have taught there was neither male nor female and that God was no respecter of persons and then contradict himself with these harsh comments about women. Modern theology has proven them to be redactions. They are:
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 KJB
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law. 35 And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
1 Timothy 2:11-12 KJB
Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
The OT witness of Father God’s use of women and NT witness of Immanuel’s use of women in His ministry proves these words to be heresy. Immanuel had female disciples who supported Him financially and traveled with Him during His ministry. He taught by example and was without sin. He did not teach that it appeared evil for men and women to be together.
Luke 8: 1-3 KJB
And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, 2 and CERTAIN WOMEN, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, AND MANY OTHERS which ministered unto Him of their substance.
The man is not complete without the woman, nor is the woman complete without the man. When the biblical guidelines are followed the home and the Congregation will be filled with the fruit of the Spirit, namely peace, love and joy.
Both men and women could take the vow of a Nazarite and all had the same set of rules. Remember male pronouns mean both genders.
Numbers 6:2-3 KJB
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say, When either man or woman shall separate themselves to vow a vow of a Nazarite, to separate themselves unto the LORD: 3 HE shall separate HIMSELF from wine and strong drink…
In the Book of Nehemiah we find the priest is teaching men and women during the Feast of Trumpets. There is no segregation of genders.
Nehemiah 8:2 KJB
And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation both of men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.
The teachings in the OT establish that men and women could both bring sacrifices to the tabernacle and many times Father God used, and still uses, women for His plan and purpose. Father God has never been restricted by the patriarchy that developed in society.
Queen Esther, a Jewess whose birth name was Hadassah, was the most powerful woman in the Persian Empire about 478BC when Queen Vashti lost the throne and her head because she disobeyed the king. This is when much of the abuse against women started, as explained in:
Esther 1:22 KJB
For he sent letters into all the king’s provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should BEAR RULE in his own house, and that it should be published according to the language of every people.
The Hebrew Aramaic word translated into English as bear rule is:
H8323. sarar saw-rar’ a to have dominion:–X altogether, MAKE SELF A PRINCE, (bear) rule.
The Persian Empire at that time included 120 provinces from India to Ethiopia. The names of some of the modern day countries affected by this ruling are Lebanon, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, Iran, Israel and Egypt. The men became dictators in their homes instead of loving priests. This tradition of man is still in use and abuse.
Levi’s grandson Amram was high priest, head of the Sanhedrin, and father of Miriam, Moses and Aaron. Miriam was priestess by birth and as the firstborn was dedicated to Father God and favored by Him. Father God reconfirmed with Moses the instructions of sanctification of the firstborn, whether male or female, and it is recorded in:
Exodus 13:1-2 KJB
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2 SANCTIFY UNTO ME ALL THE FIRSTBORN, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is Mine.
This sanctification later changed to only include the firstborn of the priestly line because of disobedience among the people.
Miriam exhorted and helped keep the morale of the Hebrew Israelites up, and her father listened to her wisdom.
Exodus 15:20 KJB
And MIRIAM THE PROPHETESS, the sister of Aaron,
took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.
During the time written about in the Book of Judges, Israel was still ruled by priests called Judges, who judged using the Holy Scriptures, the Law. A priestess named Deborah held this highest position of Judge forty years and she operated in the best of the gifts.
Judges 4:4-5 KJB
And DEBORAH, A PROPHETESS, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.
Father God gave a prophecy through Deborah, and the general Barak agreed to lead the armies into battle only if she went with him. She went with Barak, but not as a warrior, she did not participate in the battle other than a prayer covering.
The prophet Isaiah’s wife was a prophetess and Father God gave them the name for their second son, which was to announce a coming judgment. Roughly translated the name means war is coming, with plundering and having the spoil carried off.
Isaiah 8:3 KJB
And I WENT UNTO THE PROPHETESS and she conceived and bare a son. Then said the LORD unto me,
Call his name Maher-shalal-hash-baz.
There was a prophetess named Huldah in approximately 640BC. Her peers were Jeremiah and Zephaniah and she was highly regarded by the priests.
2 Kings 22:14 KJB
So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went unto HULDAH THE PROPHETESS, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe ,now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter; and they communed with her.
Even though the women of Immanuel’s time could not give legal testimony, the angels were sent to the Blessed Mother Mary and to her cousin Elizabeth first, who were the witnesses that testified to others about the soon coming births of Immanuel and John the Baptist. These two saintly women were both born in the high priestly bloodline and were priestesses.
When Mary and Joseph took the infant to the temple as requirements by the Law, an old priestess there gave thanks to Father God for the Savior’s birth.
Luke 2:36-37 KJB
And there was one ANNA, A PROPHETESS, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with a husband seven years from her virginity; 37 and she was a widow of about fourscore and four years, which departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers night and day.
Men and women are equal in the Congregation, as taught by the apostle Paul in a letter to the Galatians.
Galatians 3: 27-28 KJB
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. 28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, THERE IS NEITHER MALE NOR FEMALE: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.
Paul taught that Father God is no respecter of persons. We must allow Him freedom to operate the gifts He has given as He wills. We must not quench the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 12:18 and 28 KJB
But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, AS IT HATH PLEASED HIM…
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that
miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

The OT witness of Father God’s use of women and NT witness of Messiah’s use of women in His ministry proves these words to be heresy. The Messiah had female disciples who supported Him financially and traveled with Him during His ministry. He taught by example and was without sin. He did not teach that it appeared evil for men and women to be together.
Luke 8: 1-3 KJB
And it came to pass afterward, that He went throughout every city and village, preaching and shewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God: and the twelve were with him, 2 and CERTAIN WOMEN, which had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, out of whom went seven devils, 3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, AND MANY OTHERS which ministered unto Him of their substance.
We are brothers and sisters in the Body, so if you think companionship with the opposite sex appears evil, you have a lust issue and you should take it to the Father in prayer.
When the apostle Paul was in Troas he had a vision of a man from Macedonia. He was being sent to meet a woman, but was shown a man so as not to raise an objection in Paul because of his societal raising.
Acts 16:14-15 KJB
A certain woman named Lydia, a seller of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worshipped God, heard us: whose heart the Lord opened, that she attended unto the things which were spoken of Paul. 15 When she was baptized, and her household, she besought us, saying, If ye have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, COME INTO MY HOUSE, AND ABIDE THERE. And she constrained us.
Lydia was a widow and business owner who had her own house. Even in a strict society it was not looked upon as unchaste or evil for a single woman of the Congregation to have men stay in their home.
The holy Mother Mary was an apostle and in the Upper Room. Pudentiana and Praxedis were pastors of early house Congregations in Rome and martyrs before Peter went to Rome. Episcopa Theodora was a priest and bishop of the church in the year 820AD. These four saintly women leaders are depicted in a mosaic that still hangs in that church today.
We should learn by the examples given. Messiah sent Mary Magdalene to give testimony to the other disciples that He had risen, as He prophesied. The woman at the Samarian well ran to witness, to give testimony to the town. The woman Phoebe was indeed a servant of the Congregation, but in the capacity of a pastor.
Romans 16:1-2 KJB
I commend unto you Phebe our sister, which is
a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea: 2 that ye receive her in the Lord, as becometh saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever business she hath need of you: for she hath been a SUCCOURER G4368
of many, and of myself also.
The meaning of the Greek word translated into English as succourer is:
G4368. prostatis pros-tat’-is feminine of 4291;
a patroness, i.e. assistant:–succourer.
G4291. proistemi pro-is’-tay-mee from 4253 and 2476; TO STAND BEFORE,
i.e. (in rank) TO PRESIDE, or (by implication) to practise:–maintain, BE OVER, RULE.
Priscilla and Aquila traveled with Paul and also had a house Congregation. Many scholars believe Priscilla was a pastor.
Romans 16:3-4 KJB
Greet Priscilla and Aquila, my helpers in Christ Jesus: 4 who have for my life laid down their own necks: unto whom not only I give thanks, but also all the churches of the Gentiles.
Mary Magdalene was a prophetess and apostolic leader of the Congregation. There were many unclean spirits cast out of Mary but there is no scriptural evidence that she was ever a prostitute. Mary was one of the three women disciples at the crucifixion and Messiah appeared first to Mary after His resurrection. She was also in the Upper Room.
Paul wrote that he had a female relative who was an apostle before he was a Christian in:
Romans 16:7 KJB
Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellow prisoners, who are OF NOTE AMONG THE APOSTLES, who also were in Christ before me.
As more evidence of the Truth that Father God is no respecter of persons, whether male or female, there are many Spirit filled women in ministry. These include the powerful miraculous healing ministries of Kathryn Kuhlman (1907-1976) and Maria Woodworth-Etter (1844-1924).
Pray for Wisdom and Discernment before persecuting and reviling one of God’s chosen workmen!!!
