BILL HAMON’S STRONGHOLDS OF THE END TIME DELUSION

MEIN KAMPF FOR THE ANTICHRIST THEOCRACY 

Article by ‘Arise My Love’

“I read a small book called FULFILLING YOUR PERSONAL PROPHECIES by Bill Hamon after my Pastor’s wife gave it to me a few years ago. It sat around for about a year. When I read it last year, I was concerned, because he seemed to be making up a lot of rules that I had never heard before; rules that seemed to prevent any discernment as to true or false prophecy. I marked it up, dismissing him as a kind of self-satisfied older dude from the second wave of over-the-top charismatics of the 1960’s.

March of this year, I attended a prophecy class given by my church. Bill Hamon was the source text and I became really alarmed.

What was being taught was that God is a sort of “mathematical force” — there was even a number given for “how many prophecies” were waiting in the air for us to speak forth. It was being taught all modern prophecy was “conditional”; and yet the person being prophesied over had to receive that “conditional” word as if it were “factual and true” as the “engrafted Word of God.” We were being taught to “never give important prophecies about marriage or career.”

I had to restate and rephrase my one question three times to get a straight answer: “What happens when leadership gives a false prophecy?” That was not on the syllabus. Finally an answer came forth: “That person would have to be removed from leadership.”

We then stood up and practiced “One Minute Speed Prophecy On Demand”, ala musical chairs, spitting out personal prophetic words over people in one-minute spurts!

What was being taught was that God was like a Magic Eight Ball in the Sky, and if we tap into His mathematical “prophecy stream” we can pull down at will and on demand “prophecies” that are “false” but also “true” at the same time. And these “prophetic Words” are just hanging in the atmosphere for us to pull down at will…

This is George Orwell’s ANIMAL FARM. No, worse: we were being taught witchcraft in the name of God.

Witchcraft is attempting supernatural feats without giving Glory to God or adhering to His Word. GOD IS NOT AN IMPERSONAL FORCE. GOD IS REAL AND LOVING AND TRUE. GOD WILL NOT DO PROPHECY ON DEMAND, BECAUSE WE CAN NEVER TELL GOD WHAT TO DO. My church was teaching brainwashing in the name of prophecy. My beloved church was teaching witchcraft, rebellion to the word of God.

I went home and reread the little Hamon book. I had now done research on Jones, Cain, Joyner, etc., and I had heard some heavy things from the Lord about my church and false prophecy that I did not fully understand. My eyes were now very open to read what Hamon was saying. I read very carefully.

I marked nearly every single sentence as deception. Here are just a handful of the probably two thousand deceptions this man promulgates:

1. Hamon makes the illogical leap that because some Christians do not believe in the gifts, then ALL modern prophecy must be true, because the gifts are for today!

2. Hamon redefines the “rhema” word as a distinct category of (untested) modern prophecy, separate from the Logos written word.

3. Hamon fails to teach proper Biblical discernment about modern prophecy skipping completely the 150 Biblical tests for false prophets and false prophecy.

4. Hamon commits the accursed sin of raising modern prophetic words to the level of the written word of God. Hamon teaches that untested modern prophecy must be received as “the engrafted Word of God”.

5. Hamon seems unaware of the sin of adding to the Word of God with untested modern revelations, and the common sense reason God calls it sin: it is changing God’s contract with us. One cannot add to a contract or “covenant” without changing it!

6. Hamon provides no accountability for false prophecies or false prophets: his only qualification is “recognized presbyters of prophecy”.

7. Hamon teaches all modern prophecy is conditional, even if those conditions aren’t stated at the time of the prophecy! This makes God out to be a lying trickster who doesn’t love us enough to tell us what He expects us to do! Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord God does nothing unless He reveals His plans in advance to His prophets the saints.

8. Hamon teaches that untested modern prophecy must be received as true, and in “faith”. This is equivalent of having “faith” in something unsubstantiated by the Bible; it is the equivalent of having blind faith in the blind faith put in “established” prophets.

9. Hamon teaches that failed, false or “unfulfilled” modern prophecy is because of the “lack of faith” of the receiver of the prophecy!

10. Hamon makes the faulty historical assumption that because the charismatic gifts were not widely practiced until Azusa, likewise, the ministerial position gifts were “repressed” through history and need to be restored.

11. Hamon fails to distinguish between a Christian’s POSITION in the body and their FAITH to believe -receive the gifts: the difference of our RANK and our WEAPONS in the Army of God.

12. Hamon adds the sin of Adam to a doctrine of the five fold ministry: ye shall not die, ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil — by espousing that “restored” Super Apostles and Super Prophets will become transfigured, glorified, immortal beings who lead the End Times church in Old Covenant murder of any “unbeliever”.

13. Hamon, like Joseph Smith of the Mormons, teaches that an unnecessary “restoration of the Church” will come through new prophetic revelation.

14. Hamon has a faulty dispensational view; he either does not believe or does not understand:

THE DISPENSATION OF THE FATHER
THE OLD TESTAMENT PROPHETS WHO WROTE THE OLD COVENANT
THE TIME OF “AN EYE FOR AN EYE; A TOOTH FOR A TOOTH”
THE DISPENSATION OF THE SON
THE NEW TESTAMENT APOSTLES WHO WROTE THE NEW COVENANT
BASED ON WHAT CHRIST TAUGHT ON THE EARTH:
“TURN THE OTHER CHEEK; BLESS THOSE WHO CURSE YOU”
THE DISPENSATION OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
STARTED AT PENTECOST
WHEN THE CHURCH IS BUILT UPON THE FOUNDATION
OF THE PROPHETS (THE OLD TESTAMENT WORD)
AND APOSTLES (THE NEW TESTAMENT WORD)
AND SCRIPTURE IS SEALED.

ALL TEACHING AND SUPERNATURAL EXPERIENCES;
VISIONS, PROPHECIES, AND DREAMS
ARE SUBJECT TO THE ANGLES AND PARAMETERS
OF CHRIST AS CHIEF CORNERSTONE OF HIS CHURCH.

1. Moreover, Hamon capitalizes on our charismatic fears of living by the Letter of the Law and not the Spirit of the Law in his arguments on the “Rhema”. True Rhema will always testify to the Logos and is proved to be of God only when it substantiates, or is subject to, the Logos!

(For example, Jesus Himself used true Rhema to combat the Devil’s lies in the desert and the Rhema, because it is Truth, won)

2. Hamon makes the false prophetess Jezebel’s job easier by failing to teach proper biblical discernment for prophecy. Instead, Hamon deceptively teaches that modern prophecy and modern prophets are on a “learning curve”. Scripture NOWHERE substantiates this.

The Word tells us never to come into agreement with false prophetess Jezebel by “suffering” her or “tolerating” her. In other words, we are not to “tolerate” false prophecies in the church or we come under the CURSE of God.

3. On the historical front, the real reason the church lost its weapons, or charismatic gifts, was because of the sin of unbelief in the Church through history; their positions in the Body were always intact.

But Hamon’s idea of formal church wide recognition or “restoration” of five fold ministry gifts does nothing to combat sin, but rather increases the likelihood of a worse sin, pride in our positions!

4. Hamon instead proffers that Latter Day “Apostles” and “Prophets” will become Super Apostles and Super Prophets that will lead the church through the End Times, with new Revelation that supersedes the Word of God. These Super Apostles/Prophets will take physical dominion of governments and nations while becoming glorified and invincible God-Men who will be allowed to “judge” and even “murder” those who disagree, i.e. unbelievers in Hamon’s view.

THIS IS IDEA OF END TIME APOSTLES AND PROPHETS AS GLORIFIED GOD-MEN IS SATAN’S OLDEST AND GREATEST LIE: “THOU SHALL NOT DIE; THOU SHALT BE AS GODS, KNOWING GOOD AND EVIL”

5. Hamon teaches a Dominionist view that Christ cannot come back to earth until “physical dominion” by his army of Super Apostles and Super Prophets is accomplished; whereby Hamon rejects the scripture that says “Christ will have to shorten the days for the sake of the Elect”.

6. Hamon mixes up the historicity of the Covenantal Time Frame: like the Mormons who practice Old Testament Polygamy and the Office of the (infallible) Prophet, they also advocated murder of unbelievers. Hamon mixes Old and New Testament theology.

7. Hamon capitalizes on our charismatic fear of the End Times, and sets us up for the Anti Christ’s “Church” paving the way for the Anti Christ’s False Prophet.

By his heretical teachings on modern prophecy, Hamon is robbing the Church of needed discernment of the False Prophet who will trumpet the Anti Christ.

If we cannot distinguish between true and false prophecy now, how will the Church be able to discern the False Prophet of the Bible who will usher in the Anti Christ?

Hamon teaches the damning heresy of William Braham and the Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God.

This is the End Time Delusion that God promises He will send upon those so-called Christians who no longer love the truth.

The Bible teaches very clearly there will be a great falling away, a great Apostasy in the End Times. This is it. And this is why I had a very strong and weird word for my Pastors in October of 2007:

I WILL SEND A DELUSION.

EXCERPT FROM ARISE’S TEXT ON BILL HAMON’S FULFILLING YOUR PERSONAL PROPHECY:

Hamon writes that our attitude towards personal prophecy should be “positive” (a kinda 1970’s pop psychology term) because the Bible tells us we should not “despise” prophecies. Grammar and definition are always in flux in Hamon’s assertions; he even mixes up this little noted Biblical idea.

But the real reason Paul wrote we are “not to despise prophecy” is because that’s what the ancient Jews always did! They despised prophecy and stoned the Old Testament Prophets because the Prophets always told the Jews to do the one thing the flesh does not want to do: DIE!

Hamon completely ignores this most serious part of even our Salvation. The man never mentions sin in the context of his “new” modern prophecy. We are warned not to despise TRUE prophecy because that’s our human inclination — no one wants to have their sin pointed out. But true prophecy always points out our sin so as to always point us to our Savior.

Even Hamon’s sneaky grammatical attempt to link his phrase “positive attitude” with “not despising” prophecy is a lie. It’s really just another way of restating his previous argument — that we should believe all modern personal prophecy is of God because some people don’t believe in it — and we should be “up” or “happy” or “positive” about it. It is a complete distortion to apply some smiling Happy Face 70’s idea to the problem of sin.

But next Hamon throws in some Biblical language to bolster his argument:

FAITH – The basic proper attitude and response towards prophets and personal prophecy is to know and believe that it is scriptural and then receive God’s prophetic ministry with faith.

Wow. Hamon left off at 1 THESS where it says we are to “examine everything” regarding modern prophecy but then leaps into more distortion.

We ARE to receive the Word — the rhema word supported by the written word — with faith.

But untested modern personal prophecy is NOT to be treated on the same level as the living Word “the Word who was made Flesh and dwelt among us”. Hamon has not shown how to discern modern prophecy; yet he’s telling us to have faith in untested modern personal prophecy? This is a despicable twisting of God’s holiness.

We are not to despise prophecy, but not for the reasons Hamon states. And it’s a big leap to have blind faith in the modern prophetic word without examination or discernment. But Hamon is undeterred, and I’m only on page 6!

If we conclude that those (who might minister prophetically to us) are qualified, competent men and women of god, then the prophecy would be received in confidence, believing that word to be true and factual. Hence the attitude of faith is imperative to bring fulfillment.

Unbelievable! This man is telling us exactly what the Bible tells us we MUST NOT do! After poor attempts to establish that “personal prophecy must be received on par with the eternal Word” — he then teaches the standard has been met if we give a passing glance on the personal character of modern prophets — and then tries say OUR ATTITUDE OF FAITH in all his faulty assumptions will be what brings about the fulfillment of personal prophecy?

Hamon can’t have it both ways. He can’t have it four or five ways either. Hamon is saying that modern personal prophecy is always conditional AND it is always true and factual? How can this be? If anyone can wrap their mind around that, let me know when roll-call is at the loony bin.

And then Hamon brings up the issue of “faith” of the receiver of the personal prophecy as an important aspect of bringing the personal prophecy to fulfillment? He has more than mixed up the argument. He has established no accountability at all for his group of “modern day prophets”.

According to Bill Hamon’s logic, Cindy Jacobs could have given the following prophecy:

“I see that you will be giving me all of your life savings in the next seven days, so that within one year, you will be coming into sevenfold increase of that amount.”

Okay. YOU have to receive that word in “faith” as the written word of God, because Cindy Jacobs is an established and recognized “presbyter of personal prophecy.” If you don’t receive that word in a positive attitude of faith, you are in the wrong, according to Hamon.

This is the Word of the Lord to you that you must receive: if you don’t give Cindy all your money, you will not get seven-fold increase in one year. So you give Cindy all your life savings.

One year passes: we all know what happens. You didn’t get the seven-fold increase. But the problem isn’t the woman who took all your cash. Nope. It is you. YOU must have not received that word in faith. You did something wrong, because the Prophet spoke the word of God to you!

But you complain: “I DID receive that word in faith! I believed the prophetic word and believed that was God telling me what to do!” No. You strike out again. Because ALL PERSONAL PROPHECY IS CONDITIONAL. You lose.

Hamon’s insanely inaccurate lies distortions and deception about modern prophecy is the way to:

1. TURN OUR MINDS INTO MUSH
2. MAKE GOD OUT TO BE A CAPRICIOUS, LYING TORMENTOR
3. FERTILIZE OUR CHURCHES FOR BRAINWASHING THROUGH FALSE PROPHETIC JEZEBELS”
