New Song, The Crossing and Destiny
Date: April 25, 2008 09:09AM
Unfortunately I my last pastor and my friend's pastor got involved in Freedom Praying from Clovercreek Bible fellowship. They would meet with the pastor of Clovercreek, now Destiny each week. Both these pastors shopped preaching God's word and got steep into deliverance. I talked several times with both pastors and my friends and us left the churches. Both churches had major splits over the teachings.
I keep meeting people that attend Destiny,The Crossing or New Song. Seems almost ironic that this happens.
They defend the churches. Members go to church, do what they are told to do working for their churches or even moving from their homes to another area when their pastor was told they should move by God or said he was told.
The problem I see is a lot of trance like praying, praying over people for the word of knowledge, prophectic words from God and not a lot of Bible study.
Members defend these churches and won't talk about how Christians cannot have demons, curses, soul ties, etc.
Clovercreek based their teachings on Dr. Ed. Murphy, who believed in demons molesting children and etc. deliverance. He even taught there for a while. Then Dr. Neil Anderson.
Sadly to say is that the members work hard, but they from what I have seen are in bondage and not freedom.
Their worship team even has to be delivered to sing for the church.
I feel even more concerned in the fact that the churches that rent to Destiny might be harmed sharing their church with this organization.
I have seen some changed lives as my friend's son was into drugs and now is not and he works hard for The Crossing. He talks ok, but he seems so driven to work, work, work.
Prehaps more of us Christians should work for the Lord. I don't think that this is freedom though but fear and bondage to people and their New Age ideas.
Christians should check all things with the Word of God and not rely on feelings and circumstances.
To bring up past sins of forefathers and etc. that we are accountable for the sins of others in our past is not Biblical and should not be done. It is done at these three churches however.
I wonder what success they have delivering alcoholics and drugs addicts with deliverance.
Actually it is not deliverance of demons but salvation from sins by accepting Christ's free gift that He died for our sins and took our punishment not any deliverance praying or freedom praying.
