..evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:13).

The Houstons have apparently scuttled off to America and are attempting to establish themselves in "ministy" there. 

At Church Unleashed in New York, Brian Houston actually boasted about his pedophile father and described himself as "The son of a prominent pastor/evangelist". Houston: "He was probably the best known of all preachers in that part of the world."  Most Christians would be ashamed of such an association. Bearing in mind that Houston is in the middle of a trial charged with concealing those crimes, such a boast is unconscionable!

Houston frames his problems as "persecution" and "a demonic attack", rather than as the consequences of his own sinful life and decisions. Hillsongs various cover-ups, their obsession with celebrity, money and essentially their obsession with themselves is antithetical to the teaching of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 16:24).

Houston: "The bible teaches that you cannot touch God's anointed ones.  In other words, they are a protected species. The anointing in your life will be opposed and you should never be surprised if God starts to bless you..  I have got a PhD in opposition. I mean I know what it is like to be opposed and be persecuted and to be lied about and come under incredible demonic attack. I know, but the scripture says 'Touch not my anointed'.  The devil can't touch my anointing. The devil can't touch what God has put in my life.. Thank God for His anointing.."

Touch not my anointed ones, do my prophets no harm! (Psalm 105:15; 1 Chronicles 16:19-21). 

This phrase was a warning to the pagan nations not to physically harm the Israelites during the Exodus. (e.g. Genesis 26:11,29 etc.). The phrase concerned the patriarchs, and by implication the Israelite nation as a whole. False teachers such as Benny Hinn, Joyce Meyer and, Kenneth Copeland are well known for using this phrase in a prideful way in order to deflect criticism and avoid correction or rebuke. To use this phrase in the context of New Testament teachers is to take the scriptures completely out of context. (Ephesians 5:11).
