The guru of Holy Trinity Church (CofE), and apparently also Trinity Life Church (AOG) (both in Leicester), has issued a further "vision". Braker is the founder of School of the Spirit in Leicester. He is also a senior leader of Holy Trinity Church and claims to operate in the office of a "Prophet", in tandem with "Apostle" John McGinley. What Braker has to say is deeply disturbing from a biblical perspective.
Jesus Christ The Door
Braker refers to "a giant door made up of many small doors". He goes on to denigrate those who say that there is only "one door", those who warn about false doctrines: "..they tried to stop people going through the other doors the Holy Spirit was directing them to.." On the contrary, Braker is operating through the spirit of error. (1 John 4:6). He is directing people away from the Holy Spirit to the false gods of ecumenism, a movement that stands in opposition to the true faith once for all delivered to the saints. (Jude 1:3). Let me make it quite clear, there is only ONE DOOR in the New Testament; that would be JESUS CHRIST (John 10:7-9), whose name is noticeably missing from Braker's vision, though indeed he does mention "THE CHRIST", which is ominous. Christ means "the anointed one" - and there are plenty of false New Age "christs" who own this title. (Matthew 24:24). Jesus Christ does not incorporate many doors. Indeed we must strive to enter through the (singular) narrow door. (Luke 13:24). The Holy Spirit will only lead us through one door:
So Jesus again said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. (John 10:7-9).
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. (John 14:6).
Unsurprisingly the comments on 'Richard's Watch', demonstrate the fruit of Braker's vision - confusion and introspection:
- "What I find scary though is whether or not one can actually tell if one’s ignoring the Spirit on the one hand, or trying to get through the wrong door(s) on the other."
- "I have the same confusion! The way I think about it at the moment – which may perhaps be cutting myself too much slack – is that this sort of worry can really only come from a genuine willingness to please God, which it requires some genuine humility to have. The time to really be worried is when you don’t care if you’re humble or not any more…" {1}
When people rely on mysticism and false unsubstantiated visions as against the Word of God, fear and confusion are inevitable. God is not the author of confusion. (1 Corinthians 14:33).
. ..for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control (sound mind). (2 Timothy 1:7).
His divine power has granted to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of him who called us to his own glory and excellence.. (2 Peter 1:3).
Lucifer The Anointed Cherub!
Braker: "I could see the face of a man, the face of a lion, the face of a lamb, the face of an eagle, the face of a dove, and the face of a woman and the face of a small child all at the same time.. I understood this person was the Holy Spirit.."
This sounds very familiar (with alterations)! (Proverbs 30:6).
And every one had four faces: the first face was the face of the cherub, and the second face was a human face, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth the face of an eagle. (Ezekiel 10:14 cf. 10:20).
..the spirit of the living creatures was in them. The cherubim: And this was their appearance: they had a human likeness, but each had four faces, and each of them had four wings. (Ezekiel 1:5-6).
The key to Ezekiel's vision are the four living creatures in Revelation 4:6:
..and before the throne there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal. And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and behind:
The living creatures of Revelation are instrumental in summoning the four horsemen (Revelation 6:1-8), and later they give the seven angels seven golden bowls full of the wrath of God. (Revelation 15:7).
The fact that these living beings are
creatures i.e. created beings, defies the interpretation that they are the Holy Spirit. Ezekiel 10:20 confirms that they are cherubim i.e. part of the angelic hierarchy.
Particularly significant is that prior to his rebellion, Lucifer (Satan) is described as the anointed guardian cherub! Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; (Ezekiel 28:12-15 KJV). Followers of Simon Braker should be very careful that he is not leading them into the worship of angels, and in particular the worship of Satan himself who appears deceptively as an angel of light. (2 Corinthians 11:14).
Let no one disqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions, puffed up without reason by his sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head, from whom the whole body, nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments, grows with a growth that is from God. (Colossians 2:18-19).
The Person of the Holy Spirit defies physical description since He is Spirit. When coupled with one of the names of God in the Old Testament, the Spirit of God is described in terms of ruach i.e. breath, wind, spirit, Greek-pneuma.
The only time anything like a physical description of the Holy Spirit is given in the scriptures is at Jesus' baptism:
..and the Holy Spirit descended on him (Jesus)
in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.” (Luke 3:22 cf. Mark 1:10; Matthew 3:16).
Braker, or the entity working through Braker, picks up on the metaphor of a dove, but mixes it with Ezekiels vision of the creatures. This is blasphemous.
The primary vehicle for the Holy Spirit moving and speaking are the scriptures. It is possible to accept certain aspects of the scriptures without the Holy Spirit, but no one can possess the fullness of the Holy Spirit while practicing doctrines of demons and things contrary to the scriptures. (1 Timothy 4:1). Braker separates the Word of God from the Holy Spirit, whereas in reality they are inseparable!
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17).
God has not "updated" or added to his Word as these false NAR ecumenical false teachers would have us believe:
The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever. (Isaiah 40:8).
"Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” (John 8:51).
..take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, (Ephesians 6:17).
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Hebrews 4:12).
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, (John 8:31).
Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. (2 John 1:9).
To conclude: In essence Braker blasphemes and denies two Persons of the triune Godhead: Jesus Christ, whom he co-mingles with many doors (an allusion to ecumenism); and the Holy Spirit whom he co-mingles with Lucifer. It doesn't get much worse than this!
This post concerns those who have somehow become embroiled in the lethal spiritual deception that is increasing exponentially in these perilous times. (2 Timothy 3:1; 2 Thessalonians 2:11). There may be people on the periphery who have not been sucked into the delusion of the self appointed NAR false "apostles" and "prophets". I particularly warn these people to seek the Lord in prayer, and to search the scriptures, to see if these things are so. (Acts 17:11).
Braker's parting shot: "Let those who have an ear hear." He actually has the audacity to repeat Jesus' own words in the Book of Revelation. Jesus Christ stands at the door (singular) of the churches and knocks: Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. (Revelation 3:20). Noticeably, Philadelphia, the faithful church, receives a commendation ..you have kept my word and have not denied my name. (Revelation 3:8).
Braker is one of the speakers at Prophetic Destiny Conference 2018 in Pasadena, CA, along with Ché Ahn, Kris Vallotton and other well known NAR false teachers.{2} Ché Ahn and Kris Vallotton are just two of the many "evangelical" reprobates who met the Pope in 2016 and sold out to Rome.{3} Braker is clearly at the epicentre of the global apostasy taking place before our very eyes! I have added some useful links about the Roman Catholic system at the end of this post.

He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.” (Luke 13:22-30).
Simon Braker 14th December 2017:
"The Lord took me into a vision/ dream
I was stood in front of a giant door, the door was so large that I could not see to the top of it, As I watched, I saw people walking up to this door and it was at this point that I saw this one door was actually made up of many small doors within the one big one,
As a person walked up and suddenly many of these small doors would open as they approached, as they did blinding light shone through the doors of many different colours.
I saw that as each person approached, they were greeted by a person the like I’ve never seen and it will be very hard to explain,
This person had no fixed shape like fire, wind or water, they also had no fixed colour as they shifted and changed constantly, as I looked, in the midst of this, I could see the face of a man, the face of a lion, the face of a lamb, the face of an eagle, the face of a dove, and the face of a woman and the face of a small child all at the same time.
Sometimes one face would become more clearer than the others, yet the other faces could still be seen in the midst of the wind the fire and the water,
I understood this person was the Holy Spirit, as each person came to the door he would greet them and invite them to enter into a new door,
I heard him say, the greatest doors are the ones you have to bow lowest to get through,
As one older man came forward many of the small doors opened all at the same time the light was both refreshing and blinding at the same time,
The man greeted the Holy Spirit and clearly they where close friends as they embraced one another like brothers, as they did the man was lost in the flames wind and water,
They spoke for a short time,
Then the man looked at the door, smiled then bowed to the ground and began to crawl towards a very small very low door, as he got close, he reached out to open the door, the moment his hand touched the handle he was lifted up off of the ground at an awesome speed and a door that was very high up opened to him, blinding light poured out the door as it opened as he entered in,
It was at this point that I notice there were other people in Front of the door, most of them ignored The holy Spirit, others actually argued with him when he directed them to a door to enter through,
Still others where trying to climb up to the high doors but the would keep falling, each time they fell they became more and more bitter.
I then saw another group, they were shouting, you must only come through this door and not only did try to force people through it, but they also tried to stop people going through the other doors the Holy Spirit was directing them to,
I could see that as a new door opened for a person it would sit upon the other open doors that person had, so each new door sat upon the others,
I then saw another group of people to the side of the door, they were all together rolling around in the mud in a pigpen, they were blind to their door for the mud covered their eyes, i could see many had been in the mud so long that they had began to rot in the midst of it.
Upon the door I saw the the words-
THE REVELATION OF THE CHRIST AND HIS KINGDOM
Let those who have an ear hear!" {4}
“Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, he likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth.." (Deuteronomy 4:15-18 cf. Romans 1:23).
