Following his sermon Do We Keep Smiling and Say Nothing?, Pastor Ernie Gruen issued an open letter to Mike Bickle and Kansas City Fellowship, charging the movement with aberrant practices, false prophecies, and spiritual manipulation, which Gruen believed were unbiblical and harmful, igniting a major controversy in the charismatic church world. It was later published in his book False Prophets and in the Aberrant Practices Document prepared with his staff. Today, we turn to that letter to uncover its warnings and consider their relevance for modern prophetic movements.Aberrant Practices Document: https://tinyurl.com/y3hwhx2cThanks for hanging out with me today!If you have been blessed by this content and would like to help support the things we do here, you may do so by visiting: https://www.sheepamongwolves.org/supportFor everything SAW-related, check out our official website:www.sheepamongwolves.orgQuestions, comments, concerns, snarks, or conundrums?

In the early 1990s, Kansas City pastor Ernie Gruen sounded an alarm against aberrant practices at Kansas City Fellowship—later known as the International House of Prayer (IHOP). His sermon, Do We Keep Smiling and Say Nothing?, was later published in his book False Prophets. Today, we revisit Gruen’s warning as we begin exploring the world of Mike Bickle, IHOP, and the Kansas City Prophets—and what their influence means for believers navigating modern prophetic movements.Aberrant Practices Document: https://tinyurl.com/y3hwhx2cThanks for hanging out with me today!If you have been blessed by this content and would like to help support the things we do here, you may do so by visiting: https://www.sheepamongwolves.org/supportFor everything SAW-related, check out our official website:www.sheepamongwolves.orgQuestions, comments, concerns, snarks, or conundrums?

In our tenth and final episode of our The Physics of Heaven series, we're going to be looking at two more chapters by co-author, Ellyn Davis. Chapter 11 and 12 deal greatly with quantum physics, quantum mysticism, and their compatibility with Christianity. At the end of chapter 12, the author states, "We believe that the closer and more dedicated our walk with God is, the more we can fully understand and experience the implications of what it means to be “one” with Him like Jesus was. We also believe that our experiences of being one with Him can actually become a way of life to the point that we will consistently be able to alter the nature of reality with our words, thoughts, and intentions."00:00:00 - Chapter 11 Introduction "Ellyn Davis: Strange Things Are Afoot00:05:21 - Let's Talk About Quantum Physics00:16:10 - Quantum Physics Are Strange00:24:06 - Quantum Physics Lead to Quantum Mysticism00:46:55 - Chapter 12 Introduction "Ellyn Davis: Quantum Mysticism"00:47:05 - Quantum Mysticism Leads to Christian Truths01:17:38 - Are Quantum Mysticism & Christianity Compatible?01:21:03 - God TruthsThanks for hanging out with me today!If you have been blessed by this content and would like to help support the things we do here, you may do so by visiting: https://www.sheepamongwolves.org/supportFor everything SAW-related, check out our official website:www.sheepamongwolves.orgQuestions, comments, concerns, snarks, or conundrums?
