We Should Not Be At All Surprised

by James Jacob Prasch
Sept 27, 2012 Mark Stibbe, the UK proponent of Todd Bentley and every other deception based on neo-Gnostic mysticism and heresy, has been publicly reported to have abandoned his wife and children after promoting Todd Bentley who did the same. Stibbe had been leader of St. Andrews Chorleywood in the UK from where he and David Pytches promoted the Toronto counterfeit and the Kansas City false prophets including the homosexual alcoholic Paul Cain and sexual predator Bob Jones. After promoting Todd Bentley, Stibbe left St. Andrews to head a trust that supposedly is established to combat the problem of fatherless children. Ironically, but not surprisingly, in imitation of his hero Todd Bentley - Mr. Stibbe has gone into the enterprise of promulgating the problem. We should not be surprised.Read more ...

The Penal Substitution of Christ

You should include in your list of those who reject the penal substitution of Jesus Christ C. S. Lewis.,   I think he is a far greater threat to the church than many that you mentioned because he is revered by so many, and "godly" men like John MacArthur, Phil Johnson, Dave Hunt and T. A. McMahon refuse to expose C. S. Lewis for the false teacher that he is.,  ,   They are willing to give him a pass that they won't afford to others.,   I have a email exchange with Phil Johnson to clearly prove this point.,   The fact that he didn't believe in the penal substitution of Christ is common knowledge and taught in his book Mere Christianity.,   Your work of exposing false teachers isn't really done until you expose this heretic who has had immense evil influence within the church and is partially responsible for leading such notables as Chuck Colson and Peter Kreeft astray.

Take the End Times Apostasy Test

Then that lawless one will be revealed whom the Lord will slay with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and signs and false wonders, and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth so as to be saved. For this reason God will send upon them a deluding influence so that they will believe what is false, in order that they all may be judged who did not believe the truth, but took pleasure in wickedness. (2 Thessalonians 2:8-12)

Where is Wycliffe Headed?

More than a year ago, a visitor to Walk with the Word noticed that one of the organizations we encourage Christians to financially support was Wycliffe Bible Translators. They wanted to know how we could support an organization which was purposely mistranslating the Scriptures for Muslim people groups so as not to offend them. Those of us directly connected to Walk with the Word not only have had tangible involvement in missions organizations, but long-time personal friends and ministry contacts at Wycliffe. Truthfully, we rejected this assertion out of hand and politely rebuked the submitter for making an accusation without providing tangible evidence to support it. To our dismay, we were then provided a host of documents and presentations which sort of politely rebuked us right back. As it turned out, not only had members of Wycliffe/SIL published mistranslated Scripture so as not to offend Muslim-centric people groups when it comes to the issue of Jesus "the Son of God" and "God the Father", but there were executives actually advertising this "advancement" as part of their recruiting presentations to enlist new translators to the ranks. Since then we have become aware of a host of websites, blogs and online forums all devoted to this issue.Read more ...

Phillippine Garbage Dump Children June 2012

Greeting you in Jesus. We praise and thank the Lord God Almighty for He answered our prayers with the young dump children. We give thanks to you, to Sis. Marg, to Moriel Ministries, to all our supporters who support the Ministry-programs and missions, for God use all of you as His channels of blessings. The young children already received their personal Bible. They were proud to take their Bible in every Bible study and in every christian gathering.They have already a good acoustic guitar for them to learn to play it, and use their talent in serving the Lord. We bought microphone and set of speakers. we open it while the children are on eating to hear the praise and worship songs, to condition their minds and heart to the mercy and goodness of the Lord Jesus Christ. We will also use it for Bible study,seminars, and other christian activities. We installed the screen at the entrance and window of the main feeding room to block the flies and,  mosquitoes. Rain always falls here, our dump children got wet when they came to the feeding area. To protect them from colds we bought them rain coats and umbrellas. They will use and wear it when they come to the feeding room, they will also use it in going to School. Every time the smell and the ask from the dump is bad, We give medicine to the children. We thank the Lord that so far no one is getting sick. We monitored their weight, most of them gained weight while others are just the same. These are the things that we haven't done yet: ,  1. Repair of leaking roof at the main feeding room. ,  2. Construction of wall,door and windows for the extension feeding room. ,  3. Computer for the children's schooling. Thank you so much. May our gracious God continue pouring His blessings to everyone in the ministry. Sincerely in Christ, Ptr. Paul Please click here to view a short video of the children.

Moriel Website Issues

Because of reports that visitors to the Moriel website might have experienced infection by malicious software often called a "trojan" or "virus", we have twice taken down the website and, in concert with technical resources supplied by our host provider, conducted scans in concert with the implementation of additional monitoring tools. In spite of a clean bill of health, a small percentage of visitors still report problems. Not every infection is caused by visiting a particular site. One of their tricks is to make it look that way in order to disguise their true origin. Because this is not happening to every visitor, the most likely cause is limited to people using a computer that is not current with its operating system updates, not using the latest version of a good antivirus package, not using the latest version of their preferred web browser, or a combination of all three. We strongly encourage everyone to make sure their system is up to date in each of these areas.

Did Jesus Go to Hell?

I was watching a video podcast by Jacob titled the Devils Algebra. I really enjoyed the podcast however I have one question that has arisen from this podcast. I have tried to search the internet and to search the scriptures as much as possible to come to a conclusion. However I am struggling with this one. Can you explain to me please why Jesus did not go down into hell after he died on the cross. I have read so many differing versions as to what actually happened. This question came to me after Jacob , and rightly so, warned people from the teachings of people like Joyce Meyer and the like. As she says that Jesus went down into Hell in our place so we don't have to. This doesn't sit right for me.

UK and Ireland Tesco Boycott

Moriel (UK) supports the boycott of Tesco in response to their financial support of the London homosexual & lesbian parade. Retailers should not be taking sides in a culture war of moral values. Tesco has not responded to Judeo-Christian objections. There are alternative competitors who are just as price competitive for shopping as Tesco who are not so engaged.

Jacob Prasch and Revelation TV

It is with sad regrets that Jacob Prasch has had to terminate, by mutual agreement, his appearances on Revelation TV. He cannot in good conscience be broadcast on the same channel as the heretical money preacher Jesse Duplantis whom he regards as a hype artist and a false teacher. Giving a platform to such a figure who discredits the Body of Christ in the eyes of the fallen world, deceives undiscerning and doctrinally ignorant Christians, and denigrates the reputation of Revelation TV. Duplantis damages the plausibility of the Gospel in the eyes of the unsaved by making salvation look like financial con artistry and brings public shame to the name of Jesus. These are repercussions that serve the interest of no one except Satan.Read more ...

Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near. (Revelation 1:1-3)

Quote of the Day Nov 20, 2011

I believe that much of our religious unbelief is due to a wrong conception of and a wrong feeling for the Scriptures of Truth. A silent God suddenly began to speak in a book and when the book was finished lapsed back into silence again forever. Now we read the book as the record of what God said when He was for a brief time in a speaking mood. With notions like that in our heads how can we believe? The facts are that God is not silent, has never been silent. It is the nature of God to speak. The second Person of the Holy Trinity is called the Word. The Bible is the inevitable outcome of God's continuous speech. It is the infallible declaration of His mind for us put into our familiar human words. "˜The Pursuit of God,' A.W.Tozer

State of Moriel 2011-2012

The Ballad of Gorgeous George and Jittery Jacob George Mueller was a man of God if there ever was one. Spiritually I cannot place myself in his league by any means, but there are obvious inescapable comparisons, not between us but between the challenges faced. Before coming to know Jesus, Mueller was apparently something of a kind of philandering lush who was rather lavish with cash enjoying the high life. After coming to know Jesus, however, he had a heart for poor children (the urban poverty and plight of homeless children in the UK in his day was something akin to Third World conditions today as described in Dickens novels). Less noble in lifestyle than his London counterpart, Dr. Barnardo, Mueller of Bristol had been quite the character.Read more ...
