After experiencing five months entangled by false teaching in 2000, I devoted a year of my life to reading the entire Bible—again. This time I specifically noted passages pertaining to what God’s Word says about falsehood and healing a wounded soul. As my gift to you, I placed many pages of Bible verses on my website that you can download, print and use in your personal study.

“Christians who are not filling their minds with Scripture are like warriors going out to battle without helmets,” said Chip Ingram. “The sword of the Spirit is taking God’s Word and quoting it literally to evil forces, in the authority of Christ. It is a sword that has the power to cut them and their lies at their knees.”

Not all false teaching leads to the formation of cults. However, we need to know warning signs of this insidious invasion. “One expert on cults who grew up in a cultic group once expressed this problem to me in these terms,” stated Dr. David Reagan, founder of Lamb & Lion Ministries, “Christians convert pagans. Cults convert Christians.”

God is very willing to forgive the wayward sins of all people—no matter how horrendous their iniquities. He is full of love and compassion. However, Lord God is also holy and just; he cannot fellowship with evil and sin. Creator God hides his face from people who choose to live in falsehood. He withdraws his compassionate care, provision and protection. If they won’t repent, God will no longer even mention their names from his lips.

People around the world are being ambushed with flaming arrows, machine guns, exploding bombs and thick smoke screens. Wearing a mask cannot protect people from this diabolical enemy. A fight-to-the-death invisible war was started sometime in eternity past, and continues all around us. Tragically, many people do not “connect the dots” of the enemy’s infiltration to the world’s anxiety, confusion, unrest, upheaval, pride, prejudice and evilness.

From 2000 to 2002, I experienced a severe testing of my faith. In the midst of it, I clearly recognized God telling me, “Jennifer, Jennifer, Satan has asked to sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, Jennifer, that your faith may not fail. And when you have turned back, strengthen your brothers and sisters” (based on Luke 22:31-32).
