F4F | Counterfeit Kingdom

Welcome to a brief installment of fighting for the faith. My name is Chris Roseboro. I am your servant in Jesus Christ. This is the channel that compares what people are saying in the name of God to the Word of God.

Why This Book Matters for Fighting for the Faith

Now I don't do a lot of product promotion. I did this something. I'm not really that interested in and Oftentimes that when people ask me to promote things on the channel, it's not anything that I would promote.

It's oftentimes things that I would or books or resources that I would speak against. But that being the case, I was sent an advanced copy of a book that has just recently come out and the name of the book Is counterfeit kingdom and it's written by holly pivock and doug guyvet and this book is Amazing if you have been looking for a resource to kind of help you get your head Around a lot of the things that you see here on fighting for the faith.

Especially in the segments that we cover regarding the new apostolic reformation. As well as things related to bethel which is part of the new apostolic reformation otherwise known as the nar. Yeah, I I know that Dr. Michael brown takes issue with the existence of nar.

But nar exists and boy, is this book a fantastic resource? In fact what I wanted to do Let me do this. I'm going to whirl up the desktop. And i'm going to open up my kindle. I I just finished reading this book and thoroughly impressed.

Thoroughly impressed. Let me walk you through some of the content that you're going to you're going to see in this book. And again, this is a great book for you. Kind of mandatory reading for your pastor.

So if you're looking for uh, what do you give give your pastor for christmas? He needs this. Your pastor needs to be aware of what is going on because these churches I think there's they they mentioned something in the tune of like 13 ,000 graduates of the bethel school of supernatural ministry aka hogwarts.

Have been sent out into the wider body of christ and they are bringing these nar Practices and beliefs with them. So the book itself. Um Begins, I mean it kind of hooks you like from the beginning the tone is is I love the way the tone is it's very um.

Let's just say it's non-accusatory very helpful, but at the same time firm uh, it's it's it's. You can tell that holly and doug really put some time in thinking How do they want to to to document the things that they're going to document and boy do they document it?

Well, so it begins with the wake up all of incident. Uh, and and all the crazy things going on at bethel and the fact that they've decreed and declared and all this kind of stuff. It then goes on to talk about who are the new apostles and prophets talks about their theology talks about their claims regarding the restoration of apostles and prophets today and the need for churches to Submit themselves to their apostolic authority and things like this.

An entire chapter dedicated to hogwarts for christians. Uh, that's the bethel school of supernatural ministry um. One of my favorite chapters number four jesus is overlooked warnings regarding false prophets and false teachers.

And then this one was this chapter is a tough one, but it's so important talking about the spiritual abuse tactics and hostile takeover tactics used by people in the in the new apostolic reformation um.

Long discussion on the counterfeit revival and the in their their ideas regarding revival. Uh an entire chapter chapter dedicated to the passion translation. Translation of the bible and it ain't no translation.

Um, no not at all. And if you've been looking for like a good succinct You know resource to ask kind of explore the question Should my church be singing songs from bethel or other churches that are influenced by nar?

You know, I I think of elevation worship and other things like this. This is a great chapter. It's it's well well written and well argued and so I Again so this is this book is so well done. Um, is it always god's will to heal?

No. It's not. And and they politely bring up the fact that bill johnson wears glasses and that his wife had cancer. In fact when they wrote this, uh, benny johnson was getting chemotherapy for her breast cancer.

She recently died of it. And so, you know, they they they go into the biblical text here, but also show the huge disconnect between what bethel preaches. And the reality that they live in and it's just well done.

But then the last chapters are really kind of dedicated to like, okay now what what do we do? So, how do you deception proof your children? Good chapter and then the conclusion it asks you to join the resistance against the new apostolic reformation.

I am absolutely convinced that the nar is the greatest threat that evangelicalism faces today these out of control. Uh, you know so-called apostles and prophets who have no accountability in their theology.

Boy, this book does a really good job of kind of laying out. They're kind of major tenets of the things that they believe teach and confess. Uh, you know from practices like sozo and healing rooms and things like this and the theology behind it in the discussion.

Regarding to regarding nar nar worship songs. They make a very good point and quote primary sources that show that these these songs Are intended to be a catechesis to teach your church. To embrace the the false teachings of the new apostolic reformation.

So I mean great great stuff here so you can it gives you steps on what you can do to join the resistance and then there's a um, An appendix written by doug guyvet on miracles in the nar again this book amazing I I would say like mandatory reading for like everybody in the fighting for the faith audience.
