They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace. (Jeremiah 6:14).J John and ecumenism
One Church Leicester is hosting two services on the 28th of January with guest speaker Anglican Canon J John who promotes ecumenism. J John's lethal compromise with the false gospel of Roman Catholicism is an offence to God! (2 Corinthians 11:4). The English Fundamentalist describes J John's betrayal of the gospel: J John Facing the Canon Exposed - False teacher of Church Apostasy (youtube.com)
J John is an Honorary Canon of The Order of St Leonard.1 Rob Thomas (watchman4wales) has carried out extensive eye-opening research on The Order of St Leonard: APOSTASY, ERROR & DECEPTION IN WALES - the watchman4wales blog.: Order of St. Leonard
False prophets and empty oracles
David Hind: "We received a word recently in one of our encounter nights and I just want to read you just a few lines from this 'I'm here to prophesy that God is going to pour out on this house fresh oil from heaven that will not only come upon the leadership it will come upon everybody in this house and this church everything in your apostolic grace is about to be upgraded God is saying he's well pleased..'"
Hind's failed prophecy of imminent revival/outbreak in 2022 has been revised and downgraded to 300+ people in 2024!
Speculating and praying for specific numbers of future converts is presumptuous. (2 Corinthians 10:17). The church is called to preach the gospel and make disciples without any speculation or concern about numbers. (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15). God gives the increase. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). No talk about numbers of converts is ever mentioned in the New Testament before the fact! (Acts 2:47,6:7). We only have to remember King David's sin when he numbered Israel in pride. (1 Chronicles 21:1).
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:1).Every chapter in the New Testament with the exception of Philemon warns about false teachers and prophets. Those who misuse the scriptures take the Lord's name in vain and are committing grievous sin. (Exodus 20:7; Deuteronomy 5:11; Leviticus 19:12). It is typical of false prophets to abuse the scriptures and give false hope to their hearers. They prophesy peace and prosperity when the reality is the reverse! Ultimately things will end very badly for One Church. I know this, not because I am a prophet, but because One Church perverts the scriptures and teaches a "different gospel". (2 Corinthians 11:4). The ultimate end for false prophets is fearful judgement! (Jude 1:13)
Susan Hind misapplies Isaiah 60 and claims that it is a prophecy for One Church. She also alleges that the Lord asked her "Do you want an upgrade?" (Jeremiah 23:16). Isaiah 60 is a millennial passage that specifically refers to Israel and the future glory for Zion. Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver; instead of wood, bronze, instead of stones, iron. I will make your overseers peace and your taskmasters righteousness. (Isaiah 60:17-18).
It is a mystery how the Hinds circumvent the plain teaching of the scriptures regarding women pastors. (1 Timothy 2:12). Susan Hind is no "helpmeet" (Genesis 2:20). Rather she has elevated herself by assuming the prohibited status of a pastor, and in doing so she has raised herself to an unauthorized position. In the process, she has, no doubt, doubled the salary of the Hind household at the expense of the naive congregation of One Church.
David Hind: "..the very core of what God wants to do this year.. is from Acts 9: 31: So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied. This is the heart of the Father for One Church in 2024 an upgrade firstly of peace.. I believe it's the Father's heart to see an upgrade of peace.. every time we meet in any context this year ahead let's expect the Prince of Peace to impact lives. People in contact with us to find peace, to experience peace to leave knowing peace. This will be a safe place and we will pray all year for people who are anxious and lost and afraid to be filled with peace people will gather in small groups in youth meetings in children's context in celebrations in twos and threes and the Prince of Peace will pour out his peace an upgrade a peace into our lives.." He goes on to quote John 14:25-27. The promise of peace in John 14 does not apply to counterfeit churches.
Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who steal my words from one another. Behold, I am against the prophets, declares the LORD, who use their tongues and declare, ‘declares the LORD.’ Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, declares the LORD, and who tell them and lead my people astray by their lies and their recklessness, when I did not send them or charge them. So they do not profit this people at all, declares the LORD. (Jeremiah 23:30-32).
The Numbers Game
In 2022 Hind employed the infamous NAR mantra "imminent revival". Needless to say, this false prophecy was not fulfilled. (Jeremiah 5:13).
* David Hind (1st May 2022): "This is a fulfillment season, an outbreak season." Over a year later, according to David Hind, we are still on the cusp of revival. This is the typical mantra of false prophets who constantly repeat that we are on the cusp of something enormous, but that "something" never happens - NAR buzzwords: revival, breakthrough, outbreak, awakening etc. 2
Hind: "I believe he wants to give us an upgrade and I felt challenged to say this to you today. I'd love you to pray with me that in 2024 across all our ministries we'll see decisions and commitments and recommitment to Jesus this year ahead and that we'll see at least 150 people baptized in our church and that we'll see 300 or more new people being added to this house in 2024." (1:26 mark)
Speculating and praying for specific numbers of future converts is presumptuous. (2 Corinthians 10:17). The church is called to preach the gospel and make disciples without any speculation or concern about numbers. (Matthew 28:19; Mark 16:15). God gives the increase. I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth. So neither he who plants nor he who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth. (1 Corinthians 3:6-7). No talk about numbers of converts is ever mentioned in the New Testament before the fact! (Acts 2:47,6:7). We only have to remember King David's sin when he numbered Israel in pride. (1 Chronicles 21:1).
Tithing
Hind: "Let's keep giving tithes and offerings.." (1:29 mark)
The New Testament encourages believers to be cheerful givers and to give what has been decided in their hearts, not under compulsion. Giving in the New Testament was for the benefit of the poor (Acts 2:43-47,4:32-37) and to support those who preach the gospel. (Matthew 10:10; Luke 10:7; 1 Corinthians 9:6-14; 1 Timothy 5:17-18). Money was definitely not given to support the extravagant lifestyle of greedy pastors or for things like ostentatious building projects that never come to an end. Any pastor or minister who has a superior lifestyle to that of his congregation is a hireling and is unworthy to be in the ministry. (1 Timothy 6:8). There should be no pressure to tithe in any New Testament Church. Believers are no longer under the Mosaic Covenant. (Romans 6:14-15,7:5-6; Galatians 3:15-4:7; 2 Corinthians 3:4-18).
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. (2 Corinthians 9:7 cf. Psalm 37:21).
The Lord did not intend a large body of believers to be governed by a centralized leadership. In the New Testament congregations are described as local assemblies governed entirely by local elders. (Acts 14:22; Titus 1:5). The New Testament model eliminates the need for the popish "megachurch" model and the crippling expense of huge buildings and facilities.
The Holy Spirit
Constantly asking for a "fresh touch of the Holy Spirit", "more of the Holy Spirit", "breathing in the Holy Spirit" etc. is the wrong focus. In my view breathing in the Holy Spirit is a dangerous mystical practice. God promised the Holy Spirit to believers and He is present in any authentic assembly. (John 14:16; 1 Corinthians 6:19). There is no instance in the New Testament of believers "inviting" the Holy Spirit, rather the Holy Spirit is sent. (John 14:26, 15:15-25). A sure sign of being filled with the Holy Spirit is that truth is proclaimed and unrighteousness is challenged. (Acts 4:8-12,7:51-60,13:9-10). The Holy Spirit puts all the focus on Jesus Christ. (John 14:17,15:26). If the Hinds want the Holy Spirit so desperately, it would be a novel idea for them to do what the scriptures say and obey the Word. (James 1:22-25; Luke 6:46). God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey Him! (Acts 5:32).
A flimsy wall smeared with whitewash
Precisely because they have misled my people, saying, ‘Peace,’ when there is no peace, and because, when the people build a wall, these prophets smear it with whitewash, say to those who smear it with whitewash that it shall fall! (Ezekiel 13:10-11).
