Marcia and Don tell their stories of transformation and now are transforming the lives of many people all over the world by warning the body of Christ, exposing the lies of the enemy and setting the record straight among cults and occults.
You guys are going to love this week’s podcast. Well…..you may not love it now…..but you’ll thank me later. I don’t know about you, but I am always needing to check my heart to make sure I am pleasing to the Lord, and that I have not opened any doors to the enemy.
This week’s podcast is going to be a little different. Like I said, it may not be your favorite, but it might….. just might be the most impactful and life changing one that will help you GROW!
II Tim. 4:2-5
2 preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
4 and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn aside to myths.
Reprove: elégxō – to convince by solid, compelling evidence which especially exposes what is wrong or right
Rebuke: epitimaō ("to warn by instructing”)…"warning to prevent something from going wrong” to assign value as is fitting, building on the situation to correct (re-direct).
Exhort: parakaléō "from close-beside” "make a call" when "close-up and personal." ”
Patience: (makrothymia) is a spiritual blend of: restraining human anger and showing the passion of the Lord, i.e. patience that is regulated by God (waits for His timing). This includes expressing the Lord's indignation (opposition to what He disapproves).
Instruction: didaxē (“to teach") – established teaching, especially a "summarized" body of respected teaching (viewed as reliable, time-honored).
mýthos – a myth; a false account which poses to be the truth; a fabrication (fable) to subvert (replace) what is actually true.
Will you open your heart and ask the Lord to show you truth?

In addition, your church might be interested in having Don for a Saturday to speak on some of the issues and the infiltration of false teachers in the church. He just did something for the Evangelical Press Association on this a few months ago: The Troubling Trend of False Teaching in the Church.
This is a review of one of the most recent pro-Enneagram books by a Christian publisher Diving Deep into Occultism: A Review of The Journey Home. Give us some dates you are considering and Marcia and I can compare calendars.
