Bringing Unity

 (Blog 0021 AndrewHadden.org)

I have an assignment I have dreaded a long time, many actually.  God prepares people for what he calls them to do.  But he starts with people who would not be your first pick, like the shepherd boy, David, or the boy, Samuel, who did not know the voice calling out to him in the night was God.  Maybe that is because God wants people with a humble heart, who will actually listen to him, and do what he says, or say what he says to say.  And God’s idea of preparation is not always our idea of preparation.  Actually, it is arguable that God’s idea of preparation is seldom our idea of preparation, at least for the most notable leaders in biblical history.  Such as David being pursued by the current leadership, to kill him, for many years.  And Moses being highly educated, and proven, for leadership among pagans, before fleeing into the wilderness for forty years of tending sheep, before God finally sent him to lead his people.    

I thought of the current leadership of the Church, whom I was thinking was the intended audience that God is having me write here.  But it isn’t.  I realized that he wants me to write this to the leadership left alive after a massive judgment removes most of the current leadership of the Church at large, leaving the world shocked at who was really leading the Church.  I teach on the parable of the tares, and Christ’s interpretation of it (in Matthew 13) being fulfilled soon, and that it represents those doing great evil in secret, while representing themselves as good Christians, even ministers and their wives, and missionaries and their wives, and denominational leaders.  (See Blog 0018 on this site.)  We can do that because God prepared my wife and I, all our lives, by making us eyewitness, as victims, to the great evil being done in secret by these people.  (See Blog 0018 on, “Exposing Great Evil, as Witnesses, Announcing Great Change,” on my AndrewHadden.com site).  So, when God indicated to us that most of the Church is being run by secret Satanists and modern-day Pharisees, we knew the massive judgment coming.  We know how good they can look in public, and how evil they can be, in secret. 

And, knowing the above, it gives one a vastly different perspective on the warning in the New Testament of “doctrines of demons” coming (1 Timothy 4:1).  Those doctrines have long been here.  Christ did warn, in the book of Revelation, in the letters to the churches of their day, about those “which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan” (Revelation 2:9 KJV).  And one church being in the city “where Satan’s throne is” (Revelation 2:13 NKJV).  If you can’t fathom Satan having a throne on the Earth, read Second Corinthians 4:5, which calls Satan, “the god of this world,” and says he has blinded the minds of unbelievers, lest they receive the gospel.  One way to blind people is to twist the interpretation and application of scripture, lest they receive its true meaning – and the most effective place to carry on that activity is within the Church, within denominations.  God has led me on a journey through the Church to see much of that going on, or having gone on in the past. 

And, differences in doctrine, teachings, is what creates hundreds, if not thousands, of divisions, denominations, in the Church – the opposite of the unity, and unity of the Spirit, that scripture makes the ideal for which we are to strive.  If people are truly led by the Spirit of God, they will be in unity.    

But denominations get infiltrated and corrupted.  And God has presented me evidence that some denominations, or movements, get corrupted even at the point of their founding.  It can even be the corrupters that do the founding, to give themselves the power to lead them, including to lead them into error, and to prevent the spread of the truth, and root out reformers that could expose them.  In fact, God says even the Protestant Reformation was infiltrated and corrupted during its founding.  And the reason for the Reformation was that the Catholic Church had become corrupted, even with doctrines unsupportable by the Bible itself, or even contradicted in the Bible.  Many were burned at the stake, as authority, supposedly from God, was enforced even by governments and/or armies controlled or swayed by the pope, or kings that appointed themselves head of the Church in their nations.  But facing the threat of death does help one sincerely decide the truth worth dying for. 

And scholars become the “hired guns” of those that control their pay, or their acceptance.  It is rather like lawyers make the convincing case for whoever pays them.  Scholars can become more interested in supporting and winning an argument than they are in finding the truth and seeing it prevail.  And some are even secret Satanists, willing to do, or write, whatever Satan, or his appointed leaders, want.  And they infiltrate, or start, media outlets holding sway over opinions in movements and denominations.  And even ministers with doctorates get paid by Satan by being able to have access to molest children and youth in the Church.  It happens, and we are eyewitnesses to this great evil going on in secret in the Church.

Just before starting to write this, God had me process what is going on, and told me things that shocked me.  I wondered about all the doctrinal deception spread in the Church, undetected.  Then I saw a vision of the sanctuary of a large church, and men in suits with the dark sunglasses that the blind wear, and the white canes the blind use to find their way along the floor, were all around in the aisles as people were finding their seats.  It was a shocking way to indicate the spiritual blindness in the Church.  That is exactly what Christ rebuked the Pharisees for, calling them “blind guides.”  It is said in Matthew chapter 23, in verses 16 and 24, but the whole chapter is Christ’s indictment of the Pharisees, and he calls them “blind” additional times. 

Did you know that there are spirits behind false doctrines?  Did you know that demons not only anoint people to write and teach false doctrines, but also come upon people to help them believe false teachings, and stay to keep them believing them?  Why else would we be warned about “doctrines of demons” coming in the New Testament?  This is not just an intellectual battle.  It is a spiritual battle, that needs to be fought with the authority Christ gave his followers in Luke 10:17 through 20, in the context of him sending out the seventy, not just the twelve.  Christ taught us to command spirits, demons, to leave in Jesus’ name.  That is how we use the authority Christ gave us.  We do not ask Jesus to do it.  That is not what he said.  He taught his disciples to wield the authority he gave them in this passage.  All Christians are his disciples also, as were the seventy. 

I have proven these principles out by casting out countless demons and confronting those demons that come against me, and others, again and again.  A church sanctuary can be cleared in this way, with authority used this way.  I have done it and watched discerning people walk in and feel the difference in the spiritual atmosphere.  But, if you have the choice, don’t take on the demonic without first asking God to forgive, in Jesus’ name, every sin you can think of, and walking in obedience to God, and in the fullness of the Holy Spirit.  Sins are holes in your spiritual armor, your breastplate of righteousness that Paul speaks of in Ephesians chapter six.  And, if you have secret Satanist infiltrators in your church, you will need to ask God to also forgive, in Jesus’ name, the sins they may have snuck in and done in your sanctuary, to give their pet demons a right to be there. 

And these kinds of prayers are best not to pray alone, but in a team.  If you take on principalities, that should be done in a group, by people God has prepared to do it, and to stand against the backlash that can provoke.  

Speaking of principalities, God mentioned one I am to take on, in writing this blog.  Principalities are fallen angels or small “g” “gods” that have much power, and a broader scope of authority in the spiritual realm.  And there can be principalities behind false religions, and the deceptions involved in that, or false doctrines within the Church, or groups that think they are part of the Church, but have strayed so far in teachings that they really are not, though they think they are, and though they use and teach from Bibles.  How do I know all this?  Many years ago, God used my future wife’s vision, and my own startling vision, to call me to take out principalities.  That is prophesied in a prophetic Psalm, Psalm 82:7, which says of them, “you shall die like men” (NKJV).  (And I have mentioned in other blogs the works of Dr. Michael S. Heiser, on angels, demons, and the divine council, emphasizing that is clearly taught in the Bible.)  God will specially enable and protect me for the task.  I am to be a defender and deliverer of God’s people in the end times – even against principalities.  That story is told elsewhere on this site.    

That gets me to talking of the principality God wants me to take on in this blog.  He is a principality behind not just a single doctrine, but more a whole systematic theology, a collection of doctrines, interpreted and taught in a certain way, across a broad spectrum of the Church.  I had just watched a bit of a staged debate, by people I respect, attempting to present both sides of the argument within the Church, about one person’s set of related doctrines, and those against it.  They had named theologians on each side, both respected across wide swaths of the Church.  Though I am a seminary graduate, I, in no way, felt like I belonged inserting myself in this doctrinal battle.  But that was not what God was asking of me.  I am a prophet.  I hear God’s voice and report what he says.  Here is what God said to me about this debate and these doctrines:

You’ll end it.  He’s not here [heaven], a plant, to set the Reformation off the rails, pollute it.  He knew what he was doing, anointed for it, not by me.  It is exquisite error, a principality behind it, but it is false, majorly.  You’re right, wrong starting place, my glory, not my heart, my mercy.    

God was speaking of John Calvin, and Calvinism.  I have devoted my life, for many years, to being attuned to the heart of God.  I sensed no anger in God in speaking about this, only mercy.  He wants people to be set free from deception, and instantly forgiven for having believed and taught it, knowing the power behind the deception and how exquisitely it was crafted.  May the Church come to humble and forgiving unity on this matter, and better understand the heart of God, the merciful heart of God. 

God went to great lengths to assign me to talk about another set of doctrines in the Church.  And he spent years, decades.  He even had me marry someone who had heard these doctrines taught, by her own father, and in the large church, and large denomination, she grew up in, with him as a pastor.  That set of doctrines wants to tell us that all those things God did in the Bible, miraculous, supernatural things, things that gave people victory over diseases, and demons, and the occult, and those enabled by it, like sorcerers, or witches, God just does not do anymore.  And that included miraculous gifts that let God’s voice be heard in his House, the Church, with what God is saying today, to the people there today.  We are limited to hearing about what God was saying about two thousand years ago, or more.

Odd thing, the Bible was written by prophets, or about prophets, the majority of the important parts of it (versus the dry histories of all the kings that failed, and people that failed).  Christ is called a prophet (and much more).  David was arguably a prophet. Even Paul, also called Saul, who wrote more of the books of the New Testament than anyone, was first counted as one of the “prophets and teachers” at Antioch (Acts 13:1), before he functioned as an apostle as well.  Paul certainly does claim words and other revelations he received from God as the word of the Lord for churches. 

And Paul, in writing to his understudy, the younger minister Timothy, says;

16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work” (2 Tim 3:16-17 NKJV).

And Paul spoke of even the history in the Bible, in the Old Testament, and said, “Now all these things happened to them as examples, and they were written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the ages have come” (1 Cor 10:11 NKJV). 

But these false teachers turn their backs on all Paul says here, and tell us that what is written in the New Testament is not for our example, and we should not rely on it for our teaching, our doctrine, when it comes to all the supernatural gifts and miracles and offices those in the New Testament walked in.  They want to say that the Bible teaches that when the Bible was complete, or the last Apostle died, all those supernatural gifts and offices of the Church died or ceased with them. 

Oh, but those teachers quote scriptures that sure seem to support what they say!  Unless you look them up and read the whole chapter or two around those little quotes.  Then you see that they are taking their quotes ridiculously out of context.  They say prophets shall cease but it is clearly, very clearly, talking about false prophets serving pagan gods, at a particular time in history.  They say supernatural gifts will cease and that it is when we get the Bible written, but the scripture says nothing of the kind.  It is talking about when we see Christ face to face (in heaven), then we won’t need these gifts.  Of course not – because Jesus will be standing right there.  

You may think I am being a little tough on these teachers.  Not so.  Christ says a whole lot more.  Let me tell you what he says.  When God assigned me to talk about this, he started with a very vivid dream, like few I have had.  God did speak in dreams in the Bible.  Then Christ gave me a very clear interpretation and command based upon it.  In the dream, I was taken in vaults below the ground, with artifacts spread out on tables.  When I was at one end of a table, someone started sitting up from under a cloth and a layer of dry dirt, as if rising from the dead by sitting up with their legs still extended before them.  The dry dirt was falling off their face and beard.  I expected them to speak, but they did not. 

Then God spoke, saying, “Buried – how many?  The prophets – dead and buried, in their hearts.  SO rejected.  Imprisoned.  Unpermitted to be.  You’ll awaken them.  They will speak.”

Then God continued, “How many Baptists have died?  Dead and buried.  Gifts I gave them.  Not permitted.  Cessationists – condemn them openly.”  Then Christ gave an example like his and John the Baptist’s words from Scripture: “You brood of vipers – liars, deceivers, false prophets.  Get out of God’s House!  Give me a whip.  Let’s get it done.”  Christ continued, “John and Jesus combined.  Whose words?  Both.  Use them, preach them.  Apply them, to them.” 

As I read these words later, as he was telling me to add this to this blog, he said, “Do it.”  I am obedient. 

And, after what he said above, and I had recorded it, Christ also said, “What about that?  They’ve been plants from the beginning, infiltrating my House to stop its power, the power I gave them – speak from me, quote me, let me speak in my House.”

Now let me add what my wife found.  It was secret Satanists that warned her away when anyone was speaking in tongues, or praying in tongues.  She was taught to leave immediately if that began.  She was taught, by them, that tongues had ceased – so any manifestation of it now had to be of the devil.  The truth was, they were scared of words spoken in the language of heaven, praying or declaring into the spiritual realm – because it had power over them and their pet demons in whom their occult power was rooted.  And they fear real prophets most, because their gifts of discernment and revelations can expose their secret alliance with the powers of darkness.  And Christ has talked of his prophets being the warriors of the Church, strengethened by the many years of Satan’s opposition to their callings.  I used to mentor young prophets.  The first thing I gave them was a book on spiritual warfare written by a Holy Spirit filled missionary, that trained missionaries, all over the world.
