Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Justin Peters. I hope that you and your family are doing well today I want to thank you so very much for joining me for this podcast and I send you my greetings from room 126 in the

00:13

Holiday Inn Express in Amelia, Virginia. I am here preaching at a church in Amelia or near Amelia and Amelia courthouse you might find it on the map but a really good church

00:24

And if you happen to live in this area, I would commend to you Grace Harvest Baptist Church really good church

00:32

Really really fine folks. Just really nice and warm folks doctrinally sound Committed to expositional preaching.

00:39

So if you live in this neck of the woods and you're looking for a good church I would commend them to you.

00:45

So On to the subject matter at hand. I'm beginning a new series on my youtube channel Entitled why are charismatics so?

00:54

weird and the fact of the matter is is they just are and Let me give a disclaimer because I know there will be these objections.

01:03

I understand that not 100 % of charismatics would go along with the kind of lunacy quite honestly that we see so much of in charismatic circles not a hundred percent of them would and Some have made the accusation against me and the strange fire conference that was held eight years ago now hard to believe

01:26

But is that right nine years ago going on nine years, but anyway one of the chief criticisms of the strange fire conference is that the strange fire conference painted the

01:38

Entire charismatic movement with a broad brush and we were focusing on just the tiny fringe minority of the charismatic movement and we were painting all charismatics as these heretics and Charlatans And crazy stuff, you know, that's you're focusing on just the fringe of the charismatic movement.

02:00

No, no, no, no That's not the fringe of the charismatic movement the fringe of the charismatic movement would be people like John Piper and Wayne Grudem and Sam Storms Those are men who who have a high view of the sovereignty of God a right understanding of the gospel, but they are

02:24

Charismatics, they they believe that the apostolic gifts continue to be in operation today But they would reject the kind of stuff that we'll be talking about on this series and what

02:37

I talk about in clouds without water and Kenneth Copeland and Benny Hinn and Joyce Meyer Joseph Prince and Andrew Womack and all that they would have real problems with those kinds of folks, but the fact of the matter is is it those kind of folks are the mainstream of the charismatic movement the fringe of the charismatic movement would be these few a few handful of men, you know a small number of men who who have a high view of the sovereignty of God right understanding the gospel, but yet they are continuous

03:10

Continuationist they believe that those signed gifts continue to be in operation, but that they're the fringe. They're the fringe

03:16

The mainstream of the charismatic movement is word of faith new apostolic

03:22

Reformation dr. Michael Brown claims that the care the strangefire conference

03:29

Painted with that broad brush, you know, and you're just talking about the fringe of the charismatic movement fact of the matter is dr

03:34

Michael Brown is good close personal friends with Sid Roth and Sid Roth has the and has been for almost 40 years

03:45

I think 38 years as of this recording in January of 2022 so he's been good close personal friends with Sid Roth and vouches for him up and down and yet Sid Roth has some of the looniest

04:02

Craziest guest on his program Without any hyperbole. I can honestly say that if someone were to hold a gun to my head and say

04:11

Justin I want you to come up off the top of your head I want you to come up with something crazier loonier

04:17

Nuttier than the last guest on Sid Roth's television program. I'd say pull the trigger.

04:23

I got nothing Honestly, and that is that is a reality of it

04:29

And so in fact in this video, we're gonna be talking some about Sid Roth so all of that say this is going to be a new series and We're gonna be looking at some of the just the weird stuff now now, why is it that the charismatics

04:47

Who claim to have such a high view of the Holy Spirit? Why is it that they would look at people like me?

04:55

Cessationist people like John MacArthur and Steve Lawson and you know, Paul Washer and those that you know

05:01

That are those theological circles. They would they would look at folks In our camp and they would say oh you don't believe in the

05:08

Holy Spirit You don't believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. You have a low view of the

05:14

Holy Spirit of God on the contrary my view of the Holy Spirit is

05:20

So high that I do not believe that someone can be indwelt By the Holy Spirit of God and teach the things that these word -faith

05:28

New Apostolic Reformation charlatans and heretics teach and Feel no conviction from the

05:34

Holy Spirit I do not believe they can be indwelt by him and have no conviction over their egregious heresies their blatant

05:43

False prophecies over and over and over they've been proven false prophets so many times over I do not believe that they can put words in God's mouth that he emphatically did not say

05:57

I do not believe that they can intentionally deceive people the way that they do

06:03

Be indwelt by the Holy Spirit of God and feel no conviction about it. I don't believe it's possible

06:11

The Holy Spirit is not a weakling He's strong if he is strong enough to save us

06:18

He's strong enough to deliver us out of deception in the very fact that these people teach these things For years and years and years decade after decade after decade they've been called upon They've been called to repent and yet they refuse to do so and you know

06:32

Todd White with his leg lengthening Stick and that fake routine and all that kind of stuff.

06:37

I mean the charismatic movement is rife with heresy it is rife with Deception it is rife with just downright lunacy and Why is it that the movement that claims to have such a high view of the

06:54

Holy Spirit is also the welcoming home? to the worst heretics the most brazen false prophets the most obvious charlatans that have ever

07:04

Come forth to disgrace the name of Jesus Christ. Why is it that the charismatic movement is the welcoming home?

07:12

To all those folks if you see something nutty if you see something crazy if you hear of something that is blatantly heretical

07:19

Coming from the evangelical world. Be sure Be sure it comes from a charismatic

07:26

It's just reality so with all that kind of rather Lengthy introduction.

07:33

I just wanted to set the stage for this new series So let us go now into our first video just going to talk about one one video

07:41

But this is Sid Roth and on his program at supernatural and this was just very recently

07:46

I think I have to look up the date within the last Last few weeks, but Sid Roth has as his guest a

07:53

Prophet a false prophet named James Gaul and they are talking about a recent episode on a game show entitled family feud

08:05

Watch this Although Sid Roth here and how do you like this set another new show for the

08:12

ISN Network? James and Rachel Gaul James is the father

08:18

Rachel's the daughter if you hadn't figured that out yet The the show was family feud and my dad used to watch it and he loved it

08:28

It's a family thing. So I got hooked on it on growing up. So I even watch it to this day

08:35

Well, but but you missed The best segment I did that has ever occurred.

08:42

This is a Secular game show. Yeah, and it's kind of a cute show.

08:48

Yeah, but that's not what got me. So excited They had a woman and this woman for a championship had to do

08:58

Really? Well, and she started out by singing a song

09:04

But this is a secular television show This In fact, the host said this never happened here before.

09:14

I want you to see a few seconds of that right now Let's roll it Yes, sir

09:26

Carney did okay She got a hundred and eighty four

09:33

China you need sixteen points to win. I'm gonna ask you the same five questions. You can okay

09:46

Activate activate Alrighty then Holy Spirit activate now.

09:52

I'll just show you that again and apparently I learned later. This is apparently the musical group Wilson Phillips or Wilson and Phillips or something like that.

10:02

I guess back in the 80s 90s or something like that. So I guess that's these two ladies who were

10:08

Wilson and Philip I don't know which one is which anyway, it doesn't matter But I want to I want to show you this again and look in the bottom right -hand corner

10:15

You might have missed it, but look in the bottom right -hand corner. It's got a little window there of James Gall Cutting a rug as this goes on what watch it again

10:28

I'm gonna ask you the same five questions. You can okay. Holy Spirit Activate Oh No Activate activate activate.

10:39

All right, let's go 11 years has never happened before Holy Spirit Activate Holy Spirit You sitting up there taking a test you ain't studied for Holy Spirit James did you ever see one of his shows like that not like that?

11:15

And I'm gonna get that and I'm gonna play it over and over and over. I'm gonna tell you something.

11:20

I've started Proclaiming that in fact, we just had an opening prayer and that was how

11:27

I started the prayer I'm only spirit activated. I'll come in now that Rockway was even better So Sid Roth is so impressed by this

11:37

Holy Spirit activate that he's now using it in his prayers to activate the

11:45

Holy Spirit Are you serious? Really? Psalm 121 verse 4

11:52

God does not sleep nor does he slumber he does not need to be activated

11:58

Hebrews 1 verse 3 Jesus upholds all things by the word of his power

12:04

Friends think about that. Don't let that escape you he upholds all

12:09

Things by the word of his power by the constant exertion of his power

12:15

Every atom in the entire universe right now is being held in its proper place by the constant exertion of the power of God You could go to some far -flung galaxy that we've never even seen yet Go out on some spiral arm of this far -flung galaxy billions of light -years away

12:41

Find some star drill down into the middle of that star find one little teeny tiny little molecule of Hydrogen or helium and you know what that little teeny tiny

12:54

Molecule in this far -flung star of a far -flung galaxy that we've not yet even discovered.

12:59

Do you know why it's there? Do you know why it's in the position that it's in right now because it's being held there by the constant exertion of the power of God God does not need to be activated

13:14

He is always working Do you know what would happen if God ever stopped working even for a nanosecond?

13:22

You know, what would happen? the entire universe Would vaporize would cease to exist

13:31

The Holy Spirit does not need to be activated But and you know, there's something about singing.

13:38

Yeah into the spirit. That's right. I'll tell you It's totally wasn't it.

13:45

There's totally would not it. I want to hear you rap it. Oh I'm gonna push you

13:54

Activate that's my job. Oh, you're right. Holy Spirit activate

14:01

Holy Spirit Said Rob, I love it when you push push when you stretch

14:27

When you push said brothers used to push us over the edge. Yo spirit

14:48

Okay, that's it They're not doing it to you they're doing it to me

14:56

Okay, dear ones Holy Spirit activate The Holy Spirit of God does not need our activation

15:04

Leave it to charismatics to have a low view of the Holy Spirit That is the great irony the people who claim to have a high view of the

15:13

Holy Spirit would look at us Say you have a low view of the Holy Spirit. No, no. No, it is they

15:19

It is they who have a very low view of the Holy Spirit of God. It is they who mock the

15:26

Holy Spirit of God It's in the charismatic camp not ours All right, dear ones.

15:33

Thank you very much for watching until our next time together May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ the love of God and the fellowship of his
