Welcome to another installment of Fighting for the Faith. My name is Chris Roseborough. I'm your servant in Jesus Christ and this is the channel that compares what people are saying in the name of God to the

00:26

Word of God. What we're about to watch is really disturbing and I mean that in the most serious way.

00:36

It is absolutely reprehensible. It's like a spiritual malpractice lawsuit should be launched.

00:46

That's how bad what we're gonna watch is. And let me just kind of preface it by saying that false doctrine can legitimately endanger your life or the life of your children.

01:01

That's just a fact. And who we're going to be listening to today is

01:07

Charity Calstrip. Charity Calstrip, if you remember the first time we've ever covered her false teaching was where she said, you are as innovative as toilet paper.

01:20

You know, you are so special you're like toilet paper. It was such a bizarre teaching.

01:27

Well, what we're gonna be watching today is Charity Calstrip teaching at their church's youth camp, their 2024 youth camp.

01:36

And so she's gonna be teaching a room full of teenagers. And immediately, out of the chute, what she is going to say is so far off base and what she says is so reprehensible.

01:54

This shows you the absolute danger of what is the word of faith heresy.

02:02

This belief that somehow your words activate, your faith activates certain promises from God as it relates to your health regarding your finances and things like this.

02:15

But in this particular case, she's gonna start off by recounting a historical event that happened back in 2019 at a youth camp that they put on for their church there, and a kid who had a very severe allergic reaction.

02:32

And what she says is over -the -top. And if it doesn't demonstrate how dangerous, not only spiritually, but physically dangerous the word of faith heresy is, then

02:45

I don't know what demonstrates it. And then to further show how awful this is, we'll fast forward just a little bit and listen to what she says about,

02:55

I think it was her, either her mother or her grandmother, who died younger than they should have, and who's to blame for that.

03:05

And we'll take a look at some biblical passages along the way, but I just have to advise you, this one's gonna be hard to watch, and it's gonna be hard for me to not get angry because of just how deplorable and awful what we're gonna hear is.

03:22

So with all of that, you've been given enough warning about what we're gonna listen to, let's whirl up the desktop, shall we?

03:30

And here is Charity Calstrip from their Out of the

03:35

Wilderness 2024 youth camp. And I gotta warn you, she starts off, this starts off like right out of the gate.

03:44

And so you'll note that what we need to cover gets covered immediately, and it's gonna happen quick, which means

03:52

I might have to rewind just a little bit, just so you can catch what she's saying. Here's Charity Calstrip.

03:58

"...purchase the promised land for you, but without taking actionable and intentional steps, you'll never lay hold of it."

04:04

Alright, so let me just read what's on there. Jesus has already purchased the promised land for you, but without taking actionable and intentional steps, you will never lay hold of it.

04:17

This shows that this woman has no concept, and I mean no concept, of what the

04:23

Bible says, what the New Testament says, that the promised land points to.

04:28

I've been, I recently did a video where we had to point out what this, what the text says. Let's do it again, shall we?

04:35

Hebrews chapter 11, the great Hall of Faith passage, is a wonderful text that lays out for us the true meaning in the types and shadows of the promised land.

04:47

Is it pointing to a postage stamp piece of property out in the Middle East? No. Is it pointing to God blessing you with finances and perfect health and things like this?

05:00

No, not at all. So Hebrews chapter 11, verse 8.

05:06

In fact, let me, let's add a little context to this, shall we? I mean, three rules for sound biblical exegesis are what?

05:12

Context, context, and context. You're not gonna complain if I throw in a little more Bible, are you?

05:18

Let's read this. Faith is the assurance of things, what? Hoped for. The conviction of things not seen.

05:28

For by it, by faith, the people of old receive their commendation.

05:34

By faith, we understand that the universe was created by the Word of God so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

05:42

By faith, Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous,

05:49

God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks.

05:55

By faith, Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death and he was not found because God had taken him.

06:03

Now, before he was taken, he was commended as having pleased God, and without faith, it is impossible to please

06:09

God. For whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and he rewards those who seek him.

06:17

By faith, and I'm gonna note here, this text makes it clear that faith was the thing that was operative in Noah building the ark.

06:26

Many pastors get this wrong and they say, by obedience, Noah built the ark.

06:31

No, by faith, he first believed God and then his faith resulted in actions.

06:37

By faith, Noah being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear, constructed an ark for the saving of his household.

06:48

By this, by his faith, he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

06:55

Now, here's the part regarding the promised land. By faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance, and he went out not knowing where he was going.

07:07

By faith, he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise.

07:16

For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is

07:22

God. The promised land points to the new earth, not anything in this present life.

07:30

By faith, Sarah herself received power to conceive even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.

07:40

Therefore, from one man and him as good as dead were born descendants, as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand on the seashore.

07:49

These all died in faith, not having received the things promised.

07:59

Faith is the assurance of things hoped for, right? But having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth, and all

08:12

Christians are, for people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return.

08:23

But as it is, they desire a better country, that is a heavenly one. Therefore, God is not ashamed to be called their

08:29

God, for he has prepared for them a city." Hmm, so you can see here the promised land is pointing to the promises of the new earth, and Abram, he died not receiving the promised land, because the promised land he was looking for was the heavenly one that comes to earth at the end of the age.

08:51

So, you know, maybe Revelation 21 might be helpful here. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.

09:02

And then I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

09:10

This is the promised land, and this is the city of the promised land. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

09:17

Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their

09:24

God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.

09:34

I think you get the point, and that is that this first statement of hers is not a biblical statement.

09:40

It contradicts the Scripture. Jesus already purchased the promised land for you, but without taking actionable steps, you will never lay hold of it.

09:51

Now watch what she means by that. So I'm gonna back this up from the beginning so you can hear her say this, and then continue on in the context.

09:59

Here we go. Jesus already purchased the promised land for you, but without taking actionable and intentional steps, you'll never lay hold of it.

10:04

You're already healed, you're already blessed, you're already free. I'm just struggling with mental problems.

10:10

You're already healed, you're already blessed, you're already free. I would note that, no, that's just not true.

10:20

Let me give you, let me give you a text here. Galatians chapter 4, the word of faith, prosperity, health, and wealth people have a tough time with this passage, and noticeably so.

10:31

So Paul writes in Galatians chapter 4, I'll start at verse 12 for context. Brothers, I entreat you, become as I am, for I have also become as you are.

10:41

You did me no wrong. You know it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first.

10:48

Now let's take a look at this word, asthenia, and we're going to, let me just get this a little bit bigger, asthenia.

10:59

Okay, let's see, a state of debilitating illness, sickness, or disease.

11:07

So you're going to note here, the Apostle Paul says that was because of a bodily ailment, and asthenia means like a serious sickness or disease.

11:17

You know that it was because of a bodily ailment that I preached the gospel to you at first, and though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel or a messenger.

11:29

Angelos here can be translated as messenger of God, as Christ Jesus himself. So the

11:36

Apostle Paul, huh, this is a fellow who had an opportunity to preach the gospel to the people in the region of Galatia because of a bodily illness and a disease.

11:51

Hmm, why didn't he walk in his healing? I mean, Jesus paid for his promised land.

11:56

Why didn't he just grab a hold of it? And then I would note, just for good measure, many people will sit there and go, well haven't you read 1st

12:04

Peter chapter 2 where it says by his wounds you have been healed?

12:11

Look at that, it's past tense, you have been healed. By his stripes we are healed already.

12:19

Well, take a look at the context here. This isn't saying that we have physical healing now and that we activate that by our faith.

12:27

Look at the context. 1st Peter chapter 2 verse 18, servants, be subject to your masters with all respect, not only to the good and to the gentle, but also to the unjust.

12:38

For this is a gracious thing, when mindful of God one endures sorrows while suffering unjustly.

12:45

For what credit is it if when you sin you are beaten for it and you endure? But if when you do good and you suffer for it and you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God.

12:56

For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.

13:06

I'm supposed to follow in the footsteps of Jesus and suffer? Yes, that's what the text says. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth.

13:15

When he was reviled he did not revile in return, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly.

13:23

And then watch this, he himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness.

13:35

By his wounds you have been healed, for you were straying like sheep, but now

13:40

I've returned to the shepherd and the overseer of your souls. 1st Peter chapter 2 isn't talking about physical healing, it's talking about spiritual healing and the context makes that painfully clear.

13:54

So Charity Calistra here, we have a huge problem and what she's going to say next, and I'm gonna back this up so you can hear it in context, what she is going to say next is jaw -droppingly terrible.

14:11

And I would say if there was a possibility to file a spiritual malpractice lawsuit against her it should be launched.

14:21

I wish there was such a thing, but there isn't. But this will show you just how dangerous this heresy is.

14:28

Listen to what she says. I've already purchased the promised land for you, but without taking actionable and intentional steps you'll never lay hold of it.

14:34

You're already healed, you're already blessed, you're already free. I'm just struggling with mental problems.

14:40

We kind of thought that, but you don't have to keep struggling. So if you're struggling with mental problems, oh you don't need to worry about that, you don't need to struggle anymore.

14:50

You're already free from mental problems. No biblical text says that. Right, have you ever had a conversation with somebody and you're thinking, wow, this got a lot going on.

14:59

You got a lot of thoughts going on up there. Right, you don't have to struggle. You don't have to struggle, but you have to take the actionable steps in order to receive everything that Jesus paid for.

15:09

You don't have to be sick. Well, I just have allergies. I'm just telling your leader, I've just always had one time when we were playing at the...

15:15

Watch what happens here. I don't even have words for this.

15:21

So she's describing a teenager, a child who struggled with allergies, and watch what she says here.

15:32

I just have allergies. I'm just telling your leader, I've just always had one time when we were playing at the park.

15:38

Somebody had an allergy to grass. We needed to probably know that. If you weren't gonna stand in your healing, you can't go to the city park and play like all that.

15:46

Broke out, hives, rash. If you're not going to stand in your healing, then you have no business going to the park where you have a grass allergy.

16:01

What on earth? I'm angry, and this is endangering the life of a child.

16:11

That's what we're talking about here. This is child endangerment in the name of false doctrine.

16:19

And not only that, who is she placing the blame on? Oh, the reason why that kid broke out with hives and they ended up having to call the emergency people, it's because that kid refused to stand in his healing.

16:33

Christ has not promised physical healing for people in this life. We can ask

16:38

God to please heal somebody, and I've seen God miraculously answer prayers, but that's not guaranteed.

16:48

The death rate among Christians is the same as the general pagan population. Everybody dies, and they die in the same proportions, and the same rates as unbelievers, and they get the same sicknesses, and the same illnesses, and they suffer from the same mental problems, and the same ailments as everybody in the general population, because Christ has not promised that in this life we will have perfect health.

17:14

He has promised that to us in the life to come, in the resurrection from the dead.

17:20

There will be no sickness. There will be no pain. There will be no tears. There will be no death.

17:26

That's promised in the world to come, the one that God will make new, not in this lifetime.

17:35

And so, note here, she is blaming, blaming a child for their breaking out and having an allergy attack because of their refusal to stand in their healing.

17:51

Listen again. Here we go. I just have allergies.

17:58

I'm just telling your leader. I just always had, one time, when we were playing at the park, somebody had an allergy to grass.

18:05

We needed to probably know that. If you weren't going to stand in your healing, you can't go to the city park and play like all the, broke out, hives, rash.

18:12

Who remembers this? Please raise your hand. One more thing.

18:19

So, there are going to be kids in their youth group who are going to be struggling with allergies or all the other things that everybody struggles with, okay?

18:29

And that being the case, that this false doctrine is going to put pressure on them to say, well, you know, going outside could really lead to my physical harm, but I'm just gonna stand in my healing.

18:43

And then they go, and what's gonna happen? Christ hasn't promised them physical healing. They're gonna have the same allergy attack that they've had in the past, and it could kill them.

18:54

I think it was 2019, and I'm like, we gotta, we had to get the pen. We had to get the

19:00

EpiPen. We had to call the ambulance, Alex, okay? It was not good. And it was all the fault of that kid for refusing to stand in their healing.

19:10

It's like, I wish we would have known that before we went to the park and played in the grass for however many hours.

19:15

Do you know what I'm saying? You don't have to, what do you mean, baby? You need that statement. Was the kid there?

19:24

And we're just gonna always leave those up for a really long time, because they can see me, even when it's up. Jesus already purchased the promised land for you, but without taking actionable and intentional steps.

19:33

The promised land has nothing to do with physical healing in this life. It has to do with the world to come. Read Hebrews 11.

19:40

You'll never lay hold of it. I've just always had these allergies. I've just always had this pain. You don't have to.

19:45

You don't have to live like that. You don't have to live, if Jesus paid for it, it belongs to you. Nowhere does it say that Jesus purchased for you perfect health in this lifetime.

19:59

That's a false doctrine that endangers the lives of people, including children. We just, my mom doesn't have enough,

20:06

I don't care how much money your mom has. How much money your mom has is not a factor as it pertains to Jesus being made poor so that you could be rich.

20:13

This already... Alright, so this has nothing to do with with Jesus being made poor so that she could become rich.

20:20

Another twisting of Scripture, by the way, on her part. I'm sure you're not surprised to hear that. 2nd

20:25

Corinthians chapter 8 is our chapter on this, and we're gonna apply the three rules for sound biblical exegesis.

20:31

And so I'm just gonna ask a question up front. So when you think I get to the words where it says, Jesus was made poor so that we can become rich, is that gonna be in the context of, therefore, you need to be wealthy as a

20:44

Christian, or you need to have perfect health as a Christian? Not at all. She's ripped it from its context, and the context says everything about what that text means.

20:55

So 2nd Corinthians chapter 8 verse 8, I say this not as a command, but to prove by the earnestness of others that your love is also genuine.

21:04

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

21:15

And in this manner I give my judgment. This benefits you who are a year ago started not only to do this work, but also to desire to do it.

21:23

Now you're sitting there going, desire to do what work? Now note, I said I put it in context.

21:29

I only put it in the closest immediate context. Let me back up a little bit so you can see what's going on, because when you get to those words, what work is he talking about?

21:40

Because that has something to do with Jesus became poor so that you might become rich. 2nd

21:45

Corinthians 8 verse 1, we want you to know brothers that the grace of God that has been given among the churches of Macedonia, for in a severe test of affliction, their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

22:05

Wait, what? The churches in Macedonia were experiencing what?

22:12

Extreme poverty. Why weren't they walking in their in their promised land blessings?

22:20

Why didn't they activate these promises from God? Because God hasn't promised to release you from poverty either, not in this life, but in the world to come.

22:28

So their abundance of joy and their extreme poverty have overflowed in a wealth of generosity on their part.

22:35

For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints.

22:50

So in the extreme poverty of the churches of Macedonia, they raised money beyond their own means to help afflicted

22:57

Christians in other parts of the world that were suffering from famine. And I think it was the

23:03

Jews in Jerusalem, the Christian Jews in Jerusalem. For they gave according to their means, as I can testify, and beyond their means, of their own accord, begging us to earnestly for the favor of taking part in the relief of the saints.

23:16

And this, not as we expected, but they gave themselves first to the Lord and then by the will of God to us.

23:24

Accordingly, we urge Titus that as he had started, so he should complete among you at this act of grace.

23:33

But as you excel in everything, in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in all earnestness, and in our love for you, see that you excel in this act of grace also.

23:43

I say this not as a command, but to prove the earnestness of others that your love also is genuine.

23:51

So he's pointing to the extreme poverty of the Macedonians, yet their extreme generosity beyond their means to assist other

23:57

Christians. For you know that the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.

24:07

And in this matter I give my judgment. This benefits you who are a year ago started not only to do this work, but also to desire to do it.

24:16

So now finish doing it as well, so that your readiness in desiring it may be matched by your completing it out of what you have.

24:24

For if the readiness is there, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have.

24:31

For I do not mean that others should be eased and that you burdened, but as a matter of fairness, your abundance at the present time should supply their need, so their abundance may supply your need, that there may be fairness.

24:45

As it is written, whoever gathered much had nothing, and had nothing left over, and whoever gathered little had no lack.

24:53

So the idea here is that in this text, this is about generosity and helping to give relief to those who are struggling to make ends meet, or they don't have resources because of famine, to help supply their need out of your abundance and to follow the example of Christ.

25:15

Just taking the words out of context, Christ became poor so that we can become rich.

25:21

It's not talking about we becoming rich in this lifetime, not at all. That's not the point that he was making at all, and when you see it, this is about an example to follow.

25:33

How are we then rich? I would note that we are rich in God's grace, in his mercy, in his love, in God supplying our needs, which the

25:41

Scripture says is what he does. And in the life to come, the streets will be paved with gold.

25:49

Poverty will be a thing long past. There will be no scarcity or lack in the new earth, not at all.

25:56

In fact, we will be the heirs of the of the new earth, and that will be our inheritance, and the entire time of eternity in the new earth will be marked not with scarcity, but with great abundance that will basically show that all of us were paupers here in this lifetime.

26:15

And indeed, Christ does make us rich in the world to come. But the point is that Christ, although he was rich, laid down his life for the poor so that we might become rich.

26:26

In a similar way then, when you see the needs of your Christian brothers financially, you are to take of your abundance and make yourself poor so that they can become richer, so that their needs can be met.

26:39

That's the point of the text. So, Charity Calstripe here is striking out badly, and like I said, false doctrine endangers the lives of people.

26:49

Listen again. It is not a factor as it pertains to Jesus being made poor so that you could be rich. This already belongs to you, but you have to take actionable steps.

26:56

You have to take intentional steps. If somebody gives you a gift card for your birthday, it in and of itself does not contain all that you desire.

27:03

How many gift cards do you think people gave back in the ancient world?

27:13

They didn't. Long before gift cards, I would consider it to be a huge bonus if I received a $5 bill and a birthday card when

27:26

I was growing up. But this analogy, if you're given a gift card, all the stuff is there, but you got to go and do something with it.

27:35

This is a false analogy because nowhere in Scripture are the promises of Christ described in gift card language because that's anachronistic.

27:44

There were no gift cards in 2 ,000 years ago. To get up and go to the store, or you have to get online and you have to place your order.

27:51

It does not redeem itself. This book is full of promises for you. Everyone say, for me. But you have to get in here and you have to take them for yourself.

28:00

You have to do that. Next statement, God has a plan for your life. This is you specifically, but without taking actionable and intentional steps, you're never going to enter into it.

28:08

God has a plan for your life. Another false doctrine. Let me let me show you what

28:13

I mean by that. If we were to go to Ephesians chapter 2, wonderful passage by the way, but I'm going to focus here starting at verse 8.

28:25

For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing, it's the gift of God.

28:31

It is not a result of works, so that no one may boast. Watch this.

28:37

For we are God's workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works.

28:43

You'll note here the the Greek ergois. Ergois agathois.

28:50

Works good. Plural. We are created in Christ Jesus for good works, not for a singular purpose.

29:01

Anybody who says, oh God has a specific plan just for your life and you need to learn to hear the voice of God so that he can tell you what it is that he wants you to be, and then you become like Hermian and you know

29:16

Rudolph the Red -Nosed Reindeer. You know my purpose, I want to be a dentist.

29:22

This is nonsense, right? No, we're not created in Christ Jesus for a purpose. We're created in Christ Jesus for good works, which means we serve our neighbor throughout the entirety of our life.

29:36

Our good works can be obedience to our parents. Good works could be meeting the needs of our neighbors, doing a good job in the work that God has called you to, in the vocation that he's called you to, being a good dad, being a good husband, being a good mother, being a good wife.

29:53

You get the idea here. Those are all good works. We're not called to a singular purpose.

29:59

I can't sit there and say, oh the reason why God made me was to create the YouTube channel

30:05

Fighting for the Faith. Nope. That's one of the things that I do that's part of the good works that God has called me to, right?

30:14

I'm also a pastor. I'm also a husband. I'm also a father. I'm also a neighbor, and all of my good works are designed to benefit them, not me.

30:25

So we are created in Christ Jesus for good works. I mean, every time this woman is speaking things here, these are just flat -out lies, which means she doesn't know her

30:34

Bible at all, not rightly. She twists it up badly, and she's teaching this false doctrine that we have a singular purpose that we're supposed to fulfill.

30:44

No, we're not. We're created in Christ Jesus for good works, plural, not a purpose, singular.

30:50

For yourself, right? You have to do that. Next statement, God has a plan for your life. So this is you specifically, but without taking actionable and intentional steps, you're never going to enter into it.

30:59

I had to, as an act of my will, decide to go right, so to speak, where God told me to go, instead of going left to Oral Roberts University, where I...

31:08

Oh, so God specifically told her to go to a particular place, rather than the thing that she wanted to do.

31:14

She had to learn how to obey that voice of God, okay. You don't obey the Scriptures, that's the voice of God.

31:22

I had to determine. I had to do that. Nobody made me do that. I didn't see an angel. My mom and dad didn't hear for me.

31:28

We've all been there. I just want you to tell me what to do. Tell me what to do. Nobody can tell you what to do but the Holy Ghost, but you've got to be sensitive to hear, and then you've got to take that step.

31:37

I had to do that. So she was sensitive to hear the Holy Ghost. Why didn't the

31:43

Holy Ghost reprimand you and rebuke you for blaming a child for an allergic reaction because they didn't stand in their healing?

31:52

Hmm? I don't think God's talking to you at all, Charity. Not at all. And if that sounds uncharitable, tough, right?

32:00

I'm gonna fast forward a little bit. Okay, here she's going to... She's talking about 1

32:05

Corinthians chapter 10 verses 1 through 12, where the things written in the Old Testament were written as examples to us, and she's going to then continue on, and I want you to hear the absolute reprehensible thing that she says about her own family member who died young, younger than should have been.

32:25

Listen to this. Now already there's five things that we have to consider. Those may be one of those your key today, but in the message it says, remember our history friends and be warned.

32:33

All our ancestors were led by the provincial cloud and taken miraculously through the sea. They went through the waters in a baptism like ours as Moses led them in slaving death to salvation life.

32:41

They all ate and drank identical food and drink. Meals provided daily. Everyone say daily. They drank from the rock

32:47

God's fountain for them and stayed with them wherever they were, and the rock was Christ. But just experiencing God's wonder and grace didn't seem to mean much.

32:54

I want you to write this down. It's not on the screen. You decide what means a lot to you. You decide what means a lot to you.

33:00

Okay. Some people think, well if I just, you know, if I just see a miracle, if I just experience a miracle, there's a miracle in salvation that you should walk in every day.

33:08

There's a miracle in salvation you should walk in every day. What is she talking about? I hate that your grandma wasn't healed.

33:15

My grandma didn't experience healing on this side of eternity, but guess what? She didn't have the faith for it. So her grandma died.

33:31

Grandmas have a tendency to do that, by the way, as well as great -grandmas, because they're older and their bodies shut down and they get diseases that kill them.

33:44

That's what happens to everybody. So her grandmother apparently died younger than she should have, and it's her fault.

33:53

It's her grandmother's fault because she didn't have enough faith to be healed.

34:01

Wow. Absolutely reprehensible. Like I said, this this doctrine, this false heresy endangers the lives of people, and if you don't get healed, it's your fault.

34:14

You didn't have enough faith. Listen again. There's a miracle in salvation that you should walk in every day.

34:20

I hate that your grandma wasn't healed. My grandma didn't experience healing on this side of eternity, but guess what?

34:26

She didn't have the faith for it, right? So she had a part to play in that. So she died what may have been a premature death from a deadly disease, but she had a choice.

34:36

So don't allow what you don't. It's her fault she died of a deadly disease.

34:44

She had a choice not to, but she didn't have enough faith to receive her healing, so it's all on her.

34:51

She played a part in it, and boy, she's mostly responsible. Wow. And you're gonna note this.

34:59

The promises of Christ are not for healing now. Again, Paul, he was able to preach the gospel because of a bodily disease that he had that was a burden for the people in the in the in Galatia.

35:13

Hmm. That's interesting. Why didn't he walk in his healing? It was his own fault, you know, because he didn't he didn't claim his healing, because Christ bought that for him.

35:23

I mean, doesn't he understand the promised land is all about the here and the now? No, it isn't.

35:29

Like I said, I am angry. This woman should not be teaching anybody the

35:37

Bible, especially children. This is a reprehensible heresy that endangers their lives.

35:46

So what happens when one of these kids then comes down with some kind of a serious illness, or maybe gets cancer, or gets in a car wreck, or whatever, and loses the ability to to walk on their own?

35:58

You know who's going to be blamed for their their their being sick chronically, or not being able to walk?

36:04

They are. They're going to be blamed. Because Charity, who does she blame for her grandmother's death?

36:12

Her grandmother? Why? Well, she got a deadly disease, and she didn't have enough faith for her healing.

36:19

Listen again, experience healing on this side of eternity. But guess what? She didn't have the faith for it, right?

36:25

So she had a part to play in that. So she died what may have been a premature death from a deadly disease, but she had a choice.

36:33

So don't allow what you don't see to keep you from the reality of what you could see in God's Word. Please don't do that.

36:40

Please don't do that. You decide what means the most to you, because these people saw the Red Sea part and freeze like frozen with no

36:47

Elsa. Where in the scripture does it say anything about the Red Sea freezing?

36:56

Wall of water on the right and on the left. Nothing about the Red Sea freezing.

37:02

What what text are you reading, Charity? They walked across dry ground and they still died in the wilderness.

37:10

They saw all the people of Egypt who had enslaved them and beat them, literally throw their gold and their silver and all their livestock at them and said, you've got to get the hell out, literally.

37:20

And they still didn't trust God. They literally... That's true. They didn't. They didn't. The problem was is they did not trust

37:27

God. They continued to believe that God's intentions for them were evil. They had miracles happen in their body because they were so bent over and wounded from the oppression of slavery.

37:36

And they saw strength come into their being as they... Where does it say that in the

37:42

Bible? Left Egypt and they still died in the wilderness. They saw miracles in their finances.

37:48

They saw miracles in their bodies. And they saw the miracle of the the cloud, the fire by night.

37:53

They saw it all, but they still died in the wilderness. Yeah. Let's take a look at the text.

38:03

1 Corinthians 10. Let's take a look at this passage.

38:09

I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud and all passed through the sea.

38:15

All were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. All ate the same spiritual food.

38:22

All drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual rock that followed them. And the rock was Christ.

38:28

Nevertheless, with most of them, God was not pleased. For they were overthrown in the wilderness. Now, these things took place as examples.

38:35

And I would note in the Greek, that's a tupos, as types for us. So that we might not desire evil as they did.

38:43

The whole point is that their lives are proof, if you would, a way to learn from the mistakes of other people.

38:53

We learn from their mistakes. Yeah. I'm not gonna desire evil like them because I saw what happened to them in the

39:01

Scriptures when God overthrew them. They were examples for us so that we might not desire evil.

39:07

Nothing here. They are examples to us of people who just didn't have enough faith to claim their miracle.

39:14

Nonsense. So, do not be idolaters as some of them were. As it is written, the people sat down to eat and drink and they rose up to play.

39:23

We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did. And 23 ,000 fell in a single day.

39:30

We must not put Christ to the test as some of them did and were destroyed by serpents nor grumble as some of them did and were destroyed by the destroyer.

39:38

Now, these things happened to them as an example but they were written down for our instruction on whom the end of the ages has come.

39:46

Therefore, let anyone who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall. No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man.

39:54

God is faithful. He will not let you be tempted beyond your ability but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape that you may be able to endure it.

40:06

There you go. She's twisted up every single text and I would note, as I've already pointed out, she, through this doctrine, blames those who get sick for getting sick and staying sick.

40:21

Those who die of illnesses, she blames them for dying of illnesses. And if you have an allergy attack while playing frisbee golf or something like that with them on one of their youth events and you need an

40:34

EpiPen, that's on you because you refuse to stand in your healing. This is sick.

40:43

This is absolutely sick and this heresy endangers not only the physical life of people but also their spiritual.

40:53

Because imagine the despair that somebody would feel when they have a chronic illness and they attend a church like Charities and they are told it's their fault that they're not healed.

41:07

When Christ hasn't promised us in this lifetime that we would have that and as a result of it the despair that they feel, they end up walking away from the faith altogether just to be consistent in their own life.

41:18

Like I said, this stuff is sick and it's taken everything I have to not just blow my top because of how angry

41:26

I am at the false doctrine that she's teaching. She is not qualified to be teaching anybody anything and should be removed from ministry for this reprehensible endangering of the life of people and blaming those who get sick for not having enough faith for their healing.

41:45

Nonsense. So hopefully you found this helpful. If so, all the information on how you can share the video is down below in the description and I want to thank you.
