I have been studying the Bible, Expository Hermeneutics and theology on an academic level for more than two decades. I have noticed the progressive trend (of the charismatic church category) of a growing "experiential" religion. This amounts to nothing more than a New Age Christian mysticism. When this happens, doctrine becomes less important and the focus is turned to an experience, feelings, revelations and the importance of solo scriptura is abandoned. We are witnessing the rise of the apostasy.

I say all this because not only do I have the shameful experience of returning to the world and can relate, but also of being in the wrong church for a season and experiencing firsthand familiar spirits of deception, a counterfeit holy spirit, false prophets, a perverted gospel and manifestations pretending to be of God. God allowed me to experience this to warn others; it's not coming, it's here. In the days of deception, chaos and so much confusion it is no wonder the Bible refers to all this as mystery Babylon! Equip yourselves!
