The Lovesick Scribe PodcastSonship According to a Modern-Day ApostleThe doctrine of sonship is a prominent teaching within the New Apostolic Reformation. One of the teachings surrounding this belief is that spiritual sons and daughters are to honor and to exhibit the spiritual DNA of their spiritual father/mother. Some leaders will even express that they should be obeyed, or sons and daughters run the risk of being illegitimate. Join me as we consider the teaching of sonship in light of Scripture.

A number of deliverance practitioners will conduct mass deliverances, working through a long list of things believed to be associated with demons, such as anger, lust, lying, and chronic illnesses.

This post centered around Ezekiel 47 and private vague revelations I ascribed to God telling me in the secret place.

Generational curses. Word curses. These types of beliefs and practices are perpetuated in areas of the Charismatic movement.

Success can be viewed as having a public platform with a massive following or flowing in might and power. It is not exclusive to men or women.

In the Charismatic movement, the call for revival and even reformation is popular and sought after. A new revival is being presented in this movement called the Communion Revival, stating that the blood of Jesus will sweep America and souls will be saved by believers putting their differences aside and coming together to receive communion. Lou Engle believes we have missed the power of communion, based on private revelation from God, and that this will be the revival to...2022-11-231h 12The Lovesick Scribe PodcastThis Is What Victory Looks LikeIn light of the recent midterm election in the United States, modern day professing prophets were decreeing victory months to days preceding the elections.

However, political results and societal or cultural change is not true victory.

There are prophecies given by those claiming to be prophets while telling the church the word can be received or dismissed while claiming an extraordinary unverified encounter with God. Practices akin to the occult and New Age and language foreign to the gospel and absent of the gospel are being presented to people in the name of calling it prophecy. I believe these practices are an assault on sola Scriptura.

Peter exhorted the elders to shepherd the flock of God without compulsion, shameful gain, and without being domineering in 1 Peter 5:1-4.
