Radio Interview: Yoga and Christianity - Are They Compatible? Statistics, Definitions, and Dangers of Yoga! Interview: Featuring Bill Feltner of Pilgrim Radio (Carson City, Nevada) and Chris Lawson of Spiritual Research Network. Topics: 1) Western culture embraces yoga, 2) What yoga is - by definition and in context, 3) Yoga and the occult, 4) Kundalini energy and the psychic worldview versus Christianity, Jesus Christ and the Bible, 5) The dangers of yoga (psycho-spiritual and psycho-physical "emergencies"), 6) So-called 'Christian Yoga' ministries, 7) The conflict between Yoga, Christian Yoga, and the biblical Gospel. This radio interview covers numerous topics pertaining to the exponential growth of Yoga teachings and practices in the West, including updated Yoga Journal statistics, definitions and the true aim and purpose of Yoga, the philosophy, dangers, and anti-Christian beliefs of Yoga, alleged Christian Yoga ministries, and much more! This audio is not for the squeamish. It reveals the hard facts and explains the hostile opposition to humans that Yoga employs in a most seductive way; for even, the Yoga postures ( asanas ) and breathing techniques ( pranayama ) are worshipful methods/postures to Hindu deities, designed specifically to open humans up to the spirit world, occult influence, and trance/possession states.

1 Jesus Calling PART 11 - New Age "Messages": Sarah Young's Contemplative Prayer Method Identical to Passive, Telepathic-Psychic Literary Mediumship! 10:01
Jesus Calling PART 11 - New Age "Messages": Sarah Young's Contemplative Prayer Method Identical to Passive, Telepathic-Psychic Literary Mediumship! An 11 Part Audio Series by Chris Lawson This discernment teaching message is also available as one lengthy audio under the title, Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling Messages Compared to Spirit Channeled Messages (See episode menu). See also, The "Jesus Calling" Sarah Young Devotional Series - Expose Archive . Note for Jesus Calling devotional readers: This series includes direct quotes from the Jesus Calling author Sarah Young, from her personal interviews with news correspondents. These quotes are then compared to definitions from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary (June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.). Part 11 The spirit of truth, and the spirit of error 1 John 3:24-4:5 — “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” Many undiscerning people are going to gobble up Sarah Young’s book because they are not discerning and cannot decipher between New Age spirituality that is wrapped in Christian terminology, versus biblical theology that is straight from the text of the Bible. If a New Age “Jesus” is coming through the book Jesus Calling , and it is contradicting New Testament theology, the message of the Epistles, and the message of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, then you’ve got a counterfeit Jesus—you’ve got a false Jesus—and the Jesus of Jesus Calling is not Jesus of Nazareth! That’s it—that’s just the bottom line! There is so much material refuting this book and yet people still don’t want to hear the truth. Our ministry (Spiritual Research Network) has lost quite a bit of support simply because we’ve printed literature, we’ve got our web pages up, saying “Look, this is what’s going on!” And people get mad. Well, they get mad, they can have their Jesus Calling , they can have the counterfeit "Jesus" of Jesus Calling and they can get that nice fluffy spiritual buzz—they can laugh at the future, they can get the New Age buzzwords, the New Age philosophy, you know the teachings that “God is in everything” (pantheism) and the plants and the rocks and the trees and the cows and the grass and the dung, you know, that’s, that’s, that’s Hinduism —God is in all things! That’s not biblical Christianity— okay —you gotta make a decision! If you do end up passing the literature on to expose Jesus Calling , be kind to them, be nice to them, our goal here is not to slander Sarah Young, it’s just to say, "Hey look—if Sarah Young’s not telling the truth— she’s deceived! " And if she’s deceived, well there’s been enough literature put out there now, for her to say, “Gosh you know what—I was wrong! Man, I was deceived—I’m sorry!” For her to come full-circle, and repent, and say “You know what? Man, I was deceived by a counterfeit Jesus! Whoaaaa—how incredible is this deception that’s affecting the church in the last days!” Well, that’s what she should do! But is she? No, she’s not! What’s the date today? It’s March 18, 2015. What’s the publisher done? The publisher has changed things up—the publisher’s done damage control. View or purchase this BOOKLET TRACT: Changing “Jesus Calling”—Damage Control for a False Christ by Warren B. Smith https://www.lighthousetrailsresearch.com/blog/?p=16349 Sarah Young should come out and say, “You know what, you know what, we’re not, we’re not, we’re not about that, you know, we're not gonna change things up and deceive people!” Has she done that? No! Is she coming full-circle and saying “You know what—I got the wrong Jesus!” No, she’s not! So, that leaves it up to us as Christians—who read our Bibles, who test the spirits, who warn of deception, who preach the true Gospel, to say, “You know what? I don’t think Sarah Young should be listened to! In fact, I think you should take that book and get rid of it. And don’t give it to somebody, because it’s gonna lead them down a false road to a counterfeit Christ! Jesus said, “[M]any shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” The “Jesus” of Jesus Calling is a counterfeit christ—a counterfeit Jesus. Matthew 24:3-5 — “ And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." Matthew 24:11-13 — “ And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved." Matthew 24:23-26 — “ Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not." Satan wants to use false teachers and false prophets to deceive the church today—people who are true Christians! Many Christians think that we cannot be deceived—as Christians! Remember what Peter said, Lord, though all forsake you, I won’t! And Peter forsook Jesus, and so did the disciples, before Jesus was crucified. Matthew 26:33-35 — “ Peter answered and said unto him, Though all men shall be offended because of thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples." Self-deception! We can all fall into self-deception! What about “judging”? We don’t want to judge people’s hearts; we don’t want to judge Sarah Young’s heart. It seems like she has good intentions. Mathew 7:1-5 — “ Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Beware of false prophets! Jesus said, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 7:15-23 — “ Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity." Conclusion Would to God that Sarah Young would repent, that Sarah Young would go full-circle and apologize, and say “You know what, I’ve misled people. I’ve been deceived by a false counterfeit Jesus—a spirit masquerading as Jesus, who has given false teaching and New Age principles and concepts through this alleged listening prayer, meditative, passive listening messages”—that she’s allegedly received from Jesus. That’s our desire today is to see her repent and to turn around and say, “I’m sorry, I was wrong!” And, to see the publisher (Thomas Nelson Publishers) come out and acknowledge that they have done damage control—simply because they were exposed for the unscriptural content that they have been publishing. Only through the biblical Jesus of Nazareth could this happen— it would be a miracle! If you have been deceived by Jesus Calling , know that it’s not the biblical Jesus of Nazareth who has deceived you!

Jesus Calling PART 10 - New Age "Messages": Sarah Young's Contemplative Prayer Method Identical to Passive, Telepathic-Psychic Literary Mediumship! An 11 Part Audio Series by Chris Lawson This discernment teaching message is also available as one lengthy audio under the title, Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling Messages Compared to Spirit Channeled Messages (See episode menu). See The "Jesus Calling" Sarah Young Devotional Series - Expose Archive . Note for Jesus Calling devotional readers: This series includes direct quotes from the Jesus Calling author Sarah Young, from her personal interviews with news correspondents. These quotes are then compared to definitions from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary (June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.). Part 10 On pages 116-117 of Warren B. Smith’s book “Another Jesus” Calling , Smith explains how New Age teachings and buzz words are being used in the book Jesus Calling. He writes, Not that long ago, New Age terms like ultimate reality, universal presence, Love-Light, Light-bearer, supernatural plane, living channel, divine alchemy, co-create, paradigm shift , and true self were sure indicators of someone's New Age/ metaphysical orientation. All these terms can now be found in books such as Jesus Calling and are rapidly becoming part of the everyday language of the church. In Sarah Young's 2012 book Jesus Today, her ‘Jesus’ refers to his “infinite intelligence.” A quick search on the Internet for the term leads to multitudinous New Age/New Thoughts websites. In New Age language, infinite intelligence refers to God “in” everyone and everything. In fact, New Age channeler Esther Hicks calls her spirit guide Abraham ‘Infinite Intelligence.’ As the church merges more and more with the spiritual language of the New Age, and also excepts New Age practices and disciplines into the church, then compromised spiritual beliefs are the result. Faith then becomes watered down, blending easily with a world where New Age beliefs are already mainstream. Ultimately, everything has to be unified for a New World Religion and a New World Order to take effect. (Warren B. Smith, " Another Jesus" Calling - How False Christs Are Entering The Church Through Contemplative Prayer (Eureka, MO: Lighthouse Trails Publishing), 3rd printing, August 2014), p. 116-117. New Age buzzwords in Jesus Calling and these are the concepts that Sarah Young has written down, saying that this “Jesus” has communicated to her. The crossover here is simply this, there is an entity that is interfacing with Sarah Young’s mind, and based on what she’s written and the exposes and the vast amount of literature now exposing her material, it’s very clear that it is not the Jesus Christ of Nazareth as we find in Scripture. I personally believe it’s a deceiving spirit—I don’t know how much clearer things can be! Sarah Young Still Hears Jesus Calling Melissa Steffan | Christianity Today October 1, 2013, Vol. 57, No. 8, Pg 38, "Sarah Young Still Hears Jesus Calling" “In some senses, that's just the way she likes it. Away from the celebrity status that a best-selling book could afford, Minchew says, Young spends her time doing what she loves: praying and listening. After all these years, she still hears Jesus calling.” “Yet not everyone is so enthusiastic that Jesus Calling is reinvigorating interest in the theology behind Young's writings—and, by extension, in Young herself. Young bases her works on listening prayer, a theological practice in which a person aims to hear messages directly from God. Critical readers want to know: Does Young really think Jesus is speaking directly to her? Is he?” [Emphasis in original] “That love manifests itself in Young's practice of journaling, through which she has collected—and later published—messages from God for decades. Young became a Christian as an adult after studying at Francis Schaeffer's L'Abri in Switzerland, where she says she first experienced the presence of ‘Sweet Jesus.’” Source: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2013/october/sarah-young-still-hears-jesus-calling.html The spirit of truth, and the spirit of error 1 John 3:24-4:5 — “And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

See The "Jesus Calling" Sarah Young Devotional Series - Expose Archive . Note for Jesus Calling devotional readers: This series includes direct quotes from the Jesus Calling author Sarah Young, from her personal interviews with news correspondents. These quotes are then compared to definitions from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary (June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.). Part 8 These New Age psychic definitions speak volumes in light of what Sarah Young claims she is hearing, regarding her interactions and “dialoguing with God”; especially since there are New Age/occult buzzwords and concepts sprinkled all throughout Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling devotional. ( See , "Another Jesus" Calling - EXPANDED 2ND EDITION by Warren B. Smith.) Is this a lying spirit somehow communicating with Sarah Young, giving her truths from the Bible mixed with partial truths that are actually lies? Is this not just like Eve listening to Lucifer (Satan) in the Garden of Eden, as Lucifer lied to Eve by telling her half-truths. “And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die: For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods [like god], knowing good and evil…And the Lord God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled [deceived] me, and I did eat.” (Genesis 3:4-5, 13) What Sarah Young is doing sounds exactly like what Paul the Apostle warned about nearly 2000 years ago! “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils [demons].” (1 Timothy 4:1) Caveat emptor - Let the buyer beware! Sarah Young’s “listening prayer” is virtually identical to the occult—listening prayer, scribing, contemplative prayer, etc. The following quotes are from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary. “LISTENING - 1. (Native American, Navajo) see CLAIRAUDIENCE; 2. (Tibet) to view THOUGHTFORMS of one’s own making, as they take shape in the ETHERIC WORLD (similar to a human, and superhuman activity); first stage of discipleship; a technique of hearing the teachings of the GURU with the HEART...” (June G. Beltzer, The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary , Whitford Press, 1986, p. 356.) Sarah Young’s “listening prayer” is also virtually identical to occult clairaudience (clear hearing). “CLAIRAUDIENCE - (French, “clear audio”) to perceive sounds or words when no person present is speaking or no article is causing the disturbance; sounds that are inaudible to the normal hearing range appear to come from “within the head” or from “out in the atmosphere,” perceived singly” (June G. Beltzer, The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary , Whitford Press, 1986, pp. 112-113.) Compare also with the definition of Literary Medium (Listen to the Chris Lawson Jesus Calling Exposed audio - PART 7). “LITERARY MEDIUM - one who is capable of allowing an ETHERIC WORLD INTELLIGENCE to intervene in some form of psychic skill, and the resulting communications are teachings of WISDOM; information is correct, and has an elegant style, displaying a very high intelligence. [cf. MEDIUMSHIP, INNER BAND, CONTROL, PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT CIRCLE]” (June G. Beltzer, The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary , Whitford Press, 1986, p. 357.)

Jesus Calling PART 7 - New Age "Messages": Sarah Young's Contemplative Prayer Method Identical to Passive, Telepathic-Psychic Literary Mediumship! An 11 Part Audio Series by Chris Lawson This discernment teaching message is also available as one lengthy audio under the title, Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling Messages Compared to Spirit Channeled Messages (See episode menu). See The "Jesus Calling" Sarah Young Devotional Series - Expose Archive . Note for Jesus Calling devotional readers: This series includes direct quotes from Sarah Young (author of Jesus Calling) , from her personal interviews with news correspondents. These quotes are then compared to definitions from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary (June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.). Part 7 Quote from Sarah Young about how she listens to God and says, “As I receive it [messages] from Him [Jesus Christ].” Sarah Young tells CBN.com that she hears from “Jesus” and she writes down messages from Jesus! It’s black and white, it’s right there in print—this is what Sarah Young claims to be doing— hearing from God . We have to examine what Sarah Young is allegedly receiving from her “Jesus” and writing down in her book! What exact kinds of teachings is Sarah Young “receiving”—that she claims are from Jesus. CBN asks Sarah Young, “Share a memorable experience when you began listening to God—with pen in hand.” Sarah Young responds with, “I began my listening—writing adventure while living in Melbourne, Australia…I was comforted by messages gleaned from listening to God…To my delight I was able to ‘listen’ to Jesus in the hospital as readily as in my home…God’s precious messages continued flowing into my journal. This helped me stay close to Jesus throughout the tumultuous time.” Yes, Sarah Young actually says, “God’s precious messages continued flowing into my journal.” CBN asks Sarah Young, “What are some of the most important truths you have learned from journaling?” Note that Sarah Young’s method of “journaling” is what she says leads her into a “presence” and “peace” that she claims are from God. What else could this be but some form of channeling, or clairvoyance, or telepathy? This sounds exactly like some of the definitions in a massive New Age/occult book titled, The Donning Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary . How is it that Sarah Young has to implement a method—a “journaling” technique—in order to experience the “peace of God”? Paul and Silas experienced the peace of God even whilst they were persecuted and after they had been beaten with rods. They were singing praises to God in a prison cell (Acts 16:22-25). What Sarah Young is doing sounds like literary mediumship. This definition if from June Beltzer’s Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary . LITERARY MEDIUM - one who is capable of allowing an ETHERIC WORLD INTELLIGENCE to intervene in some form of psychic skill, and the resulting communications are teachings of WISDOM; information is correct, and has an elegant style, displaying a very high intelligence. [cf. MEDIUMSHIP, INNER BAND, CONTROL, PSYCHIC DEVELOPMENT CIRCLE]” (June G. Beltzer, The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary , Whitford Press, 1986, p. 357.) CLAIRAUDIENCE - (French, “clear audio”) to perceive sounds or words when no person present is speaking or no article is causing the disturbance; sounds that are inaudible to the normal hearing range appear to come from “within the head” or from “out in the atmosphere,” perceived singly” (June G. Beltzer, The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary , Whitford Press, 1986, pp. 112-113.)

An 11 Part Audio Series by Chris Lawson This discernment teaching message is also available as one lengthy audio under the title, Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling Messages Compared to Spirit Channeled Messages (See episode menu). See The "Jesus Calling" Sarah Young Devotional Series - Expose Archive . Note for Jesus Calling devotional readers: This series includes direct quotes from the Jesus Calling author Sarah Young, from her personal interviews with news correspondents. These quotes are then compared to definitions from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary (June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.). Part 6 Christians can be polluted and their faith can be shipwrecked by deceptive evil spirit teachings coming through false teachers. If you want to listen to God you must clearly understand Scripture and properly apply it to your life. Sarah Young does warn about inconsistent hearing from God/Scripture, but she is not very discerning at all. Sarah Young’s lack of spiritual discernment led her to be inspired by God Calling, a book that was channeled. Are we to listen to author Sarah Young now - instead of directly reading and gleaning from Scripture? Sarah Young was a Christian for 20 years before practicing her “listening prayer.” Quote from Sarah Young regarding Psalm 46:10 - “Be still and know that I am God.” The biblical application of Psalm 46:10 has nothing to do with “sitting with pen in hand” and “listening to God.” Cults around the world pervert this Scripture in numerous ways, as do many Christians. Many New Age/mystic/occult proponents, as well as uneducated Christians, twist and pervert Psalm 46:10 into something that it clearly does not mean. Sample authors: Lawrence LeShan, Shakti Gawain, Richard Foster, Thomas Keating, Anthony De Mello, Thomas Merton, Daniel Goleman, Richard Foster, Wayne Teasdale, Bede Griffiths. Quote from Sarah Young about how she listens to God and says, “As I receive it [messages] from Him.” CBN asks Sarah Young, “Share a memorable experience when you began listening to God—with pen in hand.” Sarah Young responds with: “I began my listening—writing adventure while living in Melbourne, Australia…I was comforted by messages gleaned from listening to God…To my delight I was able to ‘listen’ to Jesus in the hospital as readily as in my home…God’s precious messages continued flowing into my journal.

Note for Jesus Calling devotional readers: This series includes direct quotes from the Jesus Calling author Sarah Young, from her personal interviews with news correspondents. These quotes are then compared to definitions from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary (June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.). Part 5 Paul the Apostle's concern about Christians being deceived (2 Corinthians 11:1-4). 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 — " Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." What is my concern? My concern is that spirit entities are masquerading as biblical personalities and deceiving people. We have many resources on Spiritual Research Network that expose the false “Jesus” of Jesus Calling . Direct quote from Sarah Young from the CBN.com author profile, about her “listening” to God. How did Sarah Young learn to “dialogue” with God? Sarah Young says she was inspired by God Calling , which is actually an occult book that was channeled from the spirit world. Sarah Young’s “monologue”…and then listening to a “still small voice.” From monologue—to dialogue—with God? There are numerous materials that clearly and concisely expose the “messages” from Sarah Young’s false Christ. Sarah Young should come out and repent and apologize to Christians everywhere. Demonic spirits that counterfeit themselves as “Jesus” are deceiving many churchgoers. Christians can be polluted and their faith can be shipwrecked by deceptive evil spirit teachings coming through false teachers. 1 Timothy 1:19 - "Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck" If you want to listen to God you must clearly understand Scripture and properly apply it to your life. Sarah Young does warn about inconsistent hearing from God/Scripture, but she is not very discerning at all. Sarah Young’s lack of spiritual discernment led her to be inspired by God Calling , a book that was channeled.

Note for Jesus Calling devotional readers: This series includes direct quotes from the Jesus Calling author Sarah Young, from her personal interviews with news correspondents. These quotes are then compared to definitions from The Donning International Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary (June G. Bletzer, Ph.D.). Part 4 New Age/occult spirit revelation/communication (spiritism) from a demonic spirit masquerading as Jesus. Paul the Apostle's concern about Christians being deceived (2 Corinthians 11:1-4). 2 Corinthians 11:1-4 — " Would to God ye could bear with me a little in my folly: and indeed bear with me. For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him." Paul the Apostle warns about corrupting influences on the Christian mind and Paul rebukes true Christian believers who put up with those bringing false gospels and false christs. Even Satan can transform himself into an “angel of light” (2 Corinthians 11:12-15). 2 Corinthians 11:12-15 — "But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." In Matthew 7:15-23, Jesus warned of false teachers, "Ye shall know them by their fruits.” Matthew 7:15-23, KJV - “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.” Demonic angelic presences can masquerade as “Jesus.” The Encyclopedia of New Age Beliefs - refutes occult practices, channelers, and their contacts. Listing of human channelers that propose to communicate with spirit beings and their spiritistic contacts (whether departed or living). Our concern is that these deceptive spirit entities are hijacking the name of biblical personalities, and the very name of Jesus Christ Himself. Spiritual Research Network is committed to refuting the counterfeit “Jesus” of Sarah Young’s Jesus Calling .

Part 2 The certainty of the Scriptures. 2 Peter 1:15-18 — "Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance. For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount." The Word of God is more sure than our own experience. We must heed the Word of God! God’s Word of prophecy never came by the will of man. False teachers secretly bring in destructive heresies. Christians are being exploited through deceptive words and greed. Flattery, deceit, reinterpreting Scripture. Spiritual abuse from false prophets. Preach the Gospel and warn about deception! Jude’s warning to the Church (Jude 1-4). Jude 1-4 — "Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called: Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." Contending for the faith. Exalting the Lord, defending the faith, and warning about deception. Sarah Young’s New Age literature.

Popular book - Jesus Calling by Sarah Young. Warren B. Smith’s book titled “Another Jesus” Calling exposes the false teachings in Sarah Young's Christian devotional book that is titled Jesus Calling . Scaling the language barrier of redefined biblical terminology. Crafty New Age concepts and deceptions. False teachers and scriptural warnings. 2 Peter 1:19-2:3 — "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not."

THE RISING STORM and A CLARION CALL for HUMILITY, TRUTH and REPENTANCE Observations for Calvary Chapel Leaders to Consider Watch - Video on Vimeo! Watch - Video on YouTube! Video description, originally published on Apr 26, 2016 Filmed between a 45-minute break between down-pouring rain and a storm system approaching from the horizon, this unscripted, impromptu video expresses my heart and desire to see people in the Calvary Chapel movement (and other movements) helped and healed and strengthened in their faith in the Lord Jesus Christ in these last days. I have no desire to divide the Body of Christ or needlessly offend anyone who is in the Calvary Chapel movement and beyond. I am simply sharing my heart and God’s truth in light of a number of observations I have seen growing for over 25 years now, in the Calvary Chapel movement. Things now have become so blatant in the rising storm of ecumenical apostasy—that only sincere prayer and publicly declared clarion calls for humility, truth, and repentance will make any difference at all. My prayer is that God Himself by His Spirit and His Word will raise up clarion voices around the globe in this late hour. As a Christian missionary and as a former Calvary Chapel pastor for many years, I have been observing a growing trend of too many people remaining silent on far too many major ecumenical compromises. A host of other issues are also of concern. Sadly, true biblical accountability is often sidestepped and leaders (and/or church elders) either remain silent in the face of evil—perhaps out of fear of ostracism or losing their livelihood—or they willfully choose to remain ignorant when presented with documented facts. For whatever reason, when leaders are passively silent, and even suppress the truth when godly action, righteousness, and truth should prevail, God is grieved and the church sinks into malaise, confusion, and apostasy. This video was not a 'planned' event. I was actually standing on the beach alone, praying. As I was watching the rising storm clouds on the distant horizon and observing the turbulent waves, I was reminded of the flood of shameful compromise and storm of spiritual apostasy that is taking over churches and families worldwide. As I began to share my heart and thoughts in this video, some local bystanders slowed down to listen, perhaps you, like them, will seriously consider what I was saying. Altogether, my heart is for pastors, for church leaders, and for fellow believers in Jesus Christ. My heartfelt exhortation is the same as Jude’s in the early days of Christianity, and my sincere prayer is that all who have ears to hear, will hear—for God’s glory—and that laymen and leaders alike, will take heed, “Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints” (Jude 3). “And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.” (Ephesians 4: 11-16) See also Confronting Abusive Leaders!

Confronting Abusive Leaders Are abusive leadership tactics and "the fear of man" pressing you down into submissive silence? Are abusive leadership tactics and "the fear of man" pressing you down into submissive silence? Have you ever been outright rejected when lovingly confronting an abusive leader or abusive church (and secular workplace) leadership? Has your pastor, or have your church leaders, tried and successfully accomplished manipulation tactics on you? Does your church engage in subtle forms of mind control, coercion, fear tactics, excessive submission teaching, etc? Do you feel abused and silenced, or have you been commanded to keep silent? If you don't remain silent and adhere to the commanded "silence" treatment, is the ungodly "diaprax" method played on your heart and mind? Where does one turn when these things are occurring? You are always free to leave... or are you? Watch - Video on Vimeo! Watch - Video on YouTube!

Potentially Harmful and Dangerous Spiritual Practices Warning About New Age, Holistic, Mystical/Occult Practices Are you a Christian who does yoga, Reiki, or some other form of occult/mystical energy work practice? See detailed list of Potentially Harmful and Dangerous Spiritual Practices. Watch - Video on Vimeo! See also: www.spiritualnesearchnetwork.org I consider all of the ‘Potentially Harmful and Dangerous Spiritual Practices’ that I mention (and many more) to have the potential to be spiritually harmful, if not downright exceedingly dangerous. I am issuing these warnings because many New Age, holistic and mystical/occult spiritual practices we warn about include either one, two, three—or all four of the following components of the occult/psychic worldview: Mystical and supernaturalistic health-related methods. Founded on occult principles. Dangerous forms of occult and mystical practices. Based on the writings and beliefs associated with either paganism, spiritism, occultism, or mysticism. Furthermore, many undiscerning Christians and churchgoers are involving themselves these days with potentially dangerous and dangerous mystical/occult practices. Just because something "feels good" or can bring "healing" does not necessarily mean it is of God - even if it is found in a church or prayer setting.

Questions For Those Considering Yoga A Few Simple Things For Consideration! It is for good reason that Christian pastors in India weep over the ignorance of Christians in the West - that do yoga for "exercise." Christian or non-Christian, it seems that most people in Western civilization have never been properly warned about the dangers of yoga. Asking simple questions, Chris Lawson presents various straightforward considerations that people should seriously think about before launching themselves - and those around them - into influences that the world of yoga can produce within them, upon them, and through them.

The Priority of Not Neglecting Jesus Our First Love Jesus Rebukes the Church at Ephesus (Revelation 2:1-7) Christian ministry and service should never replace our personal love and devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. This message is a reminder for each of us to personally consider what priority we individually place on our personal relationship with Jesus Christ, our obedience to His Word, and whether or not we are neglecting Jesus as our “first love” (Rev. 2:4). This sermon is not intended to needlessly offend Christians, nor is it an attempt to drive people into more “service” for the Lord. Rather, it is a compelling message intended to encourage believers to remember the goodness of the Lord, to repent from spiritual apathy, and to love Jesus and adore Him, thereby returning to Him as one’s first love - in sincerity and in truth. Scriptures: Revelation 1:1-2:7; Ephesians 1:22; 4:15; Colossians 1:18, 24; 2:9; 1 John 5:4-5. Revelation 2:1-7 (KJV) - 1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; 2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars: 3 and hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name’s sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted. 4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love. 5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent. 6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. 7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Paul’s Conduct in Ministry and Appeal for Scriptural Separation Do they see beyond our words? A practical look at being set apart for the Lord and living for Him so that the Gospel may not be maligned blasphemed and hindered. Various topics covered in this message include Paul's sufferings, his personal vindication of his ministry, God's appeal to His church - through Paul - to "be ye separate" from the world, and what true repentance looks like and does. 2 Corinthians 6:1-4 — “We then, as workers together with him, beseech you also that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

The Godly, The Wicked, and The Judgment to Come Psalm 1 Psalm 1:1-6 - Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Our Heavenly Country - The Joy of Dwelling With God Psalm 84 In this audio message, the theme of The Joy of Dwelling with God is considered. The necessity of believers finding joy and strength (and spiritual breakthroughs) through the Lord Jesus Christ, instead of life's pleasurable circumstances, is touched upon. Looking at various historical, prophetic, and devotional themes in Psalm 84 - when exiled Jews longed to be back in Jerusalem worshipping in the temple - similar themes are considered for the Christian today - our hope, experience, and prayer. Truly our ultimate rest and peace can only be found in and through our Lord Jesus Christ - both now and forevermore.

1:00:16Humbled, Yielded and Prayerful - From Saul to Paul The Pharisee Saul Transformed into the Apostle Paul (Acts 9:1-22) God chose Rabbi Saul and transformed him into the man - the Apostle Paul. Working in and through Paul by His Holy Spirit, the Lord raised him up to become the greatest preacher and missionary of all time, second only to Jesus Christ. In a day and age when pride, open sin, and selfishness are glorified as virtues, this message goes against the grain and extols humility, yieldedness, and prayerfulness before God. “But the Lord said unto him [Ananias], Go thy way: for he [Saul] is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel: For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake.” (Acts 9:15-16) 1.

Famine in the Land Yet God Remains Faithful Psalm 89 A psalm (Maskil) of Ethan the Ezrahite Author: Ethan (or one of his descendants) is the author of this Psalm. Ethan is possibly the Levitical leader and one of the head musicians/singers in the Temple (1 Chronicles 6:42; 15:17-19). Historical context: God had promised to make David the mightiest King on earth (2 Sam. 7; 1 Kin. 8:23; 1 Chr. 17; 2 Chr. 21:7; Ps. 110). In doing so, God would protect David and David’s descendants (2 Sam. 7:13; 16, 18), and ultimately Messiah Jesus would reign from David’s throne - forever (Luke 1:31-33). Even though Jerusalem was destroyed and no kings were reigning in Jerusalem at this time, God remained faithful and He continues to carry out His promises. God’s promises are - and forever will be - fulfilled through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, the Messianic descendant of David (Matt. 1:1; Luke 3:23-28) and the Eternal Prophet, Priest, and King of Israel (Heb. 1:1-10:18). Looking beyond the pale of the author’s personal national dilemma - the apparent total ruin of the Davidic monarchy - the author chooses to focus on the LORD and His greatness, regardless of his own personal circumstances and future. As always, man is humbled, and God is glorified. In one word, with restored confidence in God and His Word, the author closes with, “Blessed be the LORD forever! Amen and Amen.” (Psalm 89:52) The Lord’s Covenant with David and Israel’s Afflictions (89:1-37) Praise and remembrance of God’s love and faithfulness (89:1-4). God’s worthiness to be praised and adored (89:5-14). God’s covenant blessing and protection upon David (89:15-37). God’s Seeming Neglect of the Davidic Covenant (89:38-52) The Psalmist's heartfelt cry (89:46-51). The Psalmist's heartfelt distress (89:46-51). The Doxology - “Blessed be the LORD forever!” (89:52) Scriptures: Psalm 89; Luke 1:30; Exodus 19:5; Deuteronomy 26:16; Psalm 135: 1-4; Deuteronomy 14:2; Titus 2:11-15; 1 Peter 2:9; Psalm 89:52.

1:10:58Shamanism Revived - The Christianizing of Four Occult Techniques Ministry of the Holy Spirit versus Visualization, Inner Healing, Centering Meditation, and Hypnosis This audio message takes a close look at the Holy Spirit’s ministry in the Christian life versus dangerous Shaman techniques employed by a wide variety of occultists and many well-meaning yet undiscerning Christians. Part 1 - A brief scriptural review of the person, nature, and work of God the Holy Spirit. The Christian being “born from above” (born-again) by the Spirit of God (John 3:3-8). The Christian being regenerated and the indwelt by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11-16). The Christian being anointed by God the Holy Spirit to discern spiritual truth versus error (1 John 2:18-27). The Christian being empowered by the Holy Spirit to preach the Gospel and teach the Word of God (Acts of the Apostles). The Christian is guided by the Holy Spirit and understanding His personal influence (John 14:15-19, 26; 16:7-15). The importance of Bible-believing churches as they produce Bible-believing Christians! Part 2 - Four occult Shamanic techniques to avoid: Visualization (guided imagery) Inner healing (healing of memories) Meditation (centering prayer) Hypnosis (altered states) Mention of occultist/psychologist Carl Gustav Jung and quotes from anthropologist and practicing shaman Michael Harner ( The Way of the Shaman ), positivism pioneer Norman Vincent Peale ( Positive Imaging: The Powerful Way to Change Your Life ), occultist Napoleon Hill ( Think and Grow Rich ), and Christian/occult practitioner Agnes Sanford ( The Healing Light; The Healing Gifts of the Spirit ).

Serving Our King With A Loyal Heart “For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ” (Eph 4:12) This topical sermon considers the work of King David - and ultimately Messiah Jesus - and the glorious unity, organization, commitment, and loyalty of heart that they displayed toward God during their time on earth. The purpose of this message is to encourage committed believers in Jesus of Nazareth -the Risen Christ - to consistently offer willing praise and service to God our Father, and to love our brethren, the body of Christ. A general outline of 1 Chronicles 28 and 29 - Solomon Instructed to Build the Temple (1 Chron. 28:1-21) - Offerings for Building the Temple (1 Chron. 29:1-9) - David’s Praise to God (1 Chron. 29:10-20) - Solomon Anointed King (1 Chron. 29:21-25) - The Close of David’s Reign (1 Chron. 29:26-30) Considering the goodness and grace of God, and our loving service to the body of Christ. Scriptures: Romans 12; Matthew 28: 18-20; Ephesians 4:1-6 1 Chronicles 29:10-20 (KJV) - "Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel our father, for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. Both riches and honour come of thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thine hand is power and might; and in thine hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all. Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name. But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee. For we are strangers before thee, and sojourners, as were all our fathers: our days on the earth are as a shadow, and there is none abiding. O Lord our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee an house for thine holy name cometh of thine hand, and is all thine own. I know also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of mine heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto thee. O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee: and give unto Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all these things, and to build the palace, for the which I have made provision. And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the Lord your God. And all the congregation blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads, and worshipped the Lord, and the king.

1:25:44Satanism, Witchcraft and Halloween A sober warning about the kingdom of darkness! This audio message is from a series of lectures on the dangers of Occultism and many practices associated with it. Recorded in the late 1990s during an outreach in San Luis Obispo, CA - when Chris was serving as a pastor in that same city - the message includes several audio clips from other speakers as well. These clips are not blanket endorsements for these other ministries, but rather, they serve to illustrate the reality of the powers of darkness and the importance of being educated on the subject. The first illustrative audio clip is from a Christian evangelist who spent 4 hours being educated - by the Los Angeles County Satanic and Occult Task Force - about the reality of satanic activity and crime in Southern California. In the second clip, the same author explains how teen suicide is part of the occult revolution. The third illustrative audio clip is a piece from Dr. Walter Martin speaking on the origin of Halloween and the Christian’s responsibility to make every opportunity to proclaim the biblical gospel. Christians of all sorts need to hear this message, for many are completely ignorant about what truly takes place in the kingdom of the occult, what oftentimes occurs on Halloween, and what witches and Satanists seek to do when they visit Christian churches for non-Christian purposes. “If you can tear down the prayer foundation of a church then you’ve destroyed that church. And that’s what every witch or Satanist plans to do when they go into a church, is to tear down that prayer foundation, and the rest of the church goes quickly after that.” - From an ex-Satanist who is now a committed Christian Topics in this audio: - Clarification on Satanism versus Witchcraft. - Re-cap from the previous seminar on several components of Paganism (Pantheism, Reincarnation, Moral Relativism, Esotericism). - The global spiritual/cultural phenomenon of snake/serpent worship. - Who and what Satan is, and what the devil’s goals are. - Mention of Freemasonry and the occult symbolism on the American dollar bill. - The activities of Satan. - Defining terminology. - Various illustrations on Satanism, Witchcraft, Wicca, occult practices (i.e., Hillary Clinton and Shamanism). - Disney’s “desensitizing” movies that are full of occult themes (i.e., sorcery, spiritism, shamanism, pantheism, etc.) - Fantasia, Aladdin, The Lion King, Pocahontas, etc. - Subliminal occult images in Jehovah's Witness Watchtower literature handed out at your front door. - Extensive listing of terms/techniques employed by New Age spirituality/occult practitioners. - Warning about Halloween and an exhortation for the Christian to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. Scriptures: Deuteronomy 13:1-11; 18:9-14; Acts 19.

Comfort Through Jesus Christ Our Magnificent Creator Considering the Source of our Strength The audio message is a topical study that first considers the personal dedication of King Solomon and his desire to prepare, construct and dedicate the temple. The second portion focuses on the names and titles ascribed to the ultimate King of Israel - Jesus Christ our Savior - whom the Christian finds ultimate spiritual rest and comfort through today. Following is a simple outline of this message: - King Solomon’s desire and determination to build God’s temple. - Hiram (a pagan King) recognizes Solomon’s God as the Creator. - Jesus Christ our Lord is our magnificent Creator. - Names and titles ascribed to Jesus Christ our LORD.

The Coming Apostasy is Here The Great Metamorphosis! This audio message touches on the current and future global apostate Christianity and the great metamorphosis into “MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” (Revelation 17:5b) A Hindu-Christianity for the New Age! Various topics include (1) Departing from the faith; (2) Apostasy defined, types of apostasy, and safeguarding against apostasy; and (3) Taking heed against all forms of deception and escapism. Subject matter exalts the biblical Jesus of Nazareth, as opposed to false prophets, false teachers, and the coming Antichrist who will be recognized by the unbelieving world as a “man of peace” and an International hero who has come to allegedly save the planet. The Audio also includes short informative sound clips from The Great Apostasy - The Lost Sign (DVD) , and Dave Hunt’s documentary, A Woman Rides the Beast - The Roman Catholic Church and the Last Days . Scriptures: Matthew 7:1-5,15-23; Jude 3-4; Luke 18:8; 1 Thessalonians 4; Ephesians 4:11-22; Ephesians 6; 2 Timothy 4; Luke 21:34-38; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; Colossians 1:1-6. * This 48-minute message was part of a 15 week, 3-hour evening seminar (1999). ---> For other messages in this same series see Chris’s online archives and podcasts.

From Worry to Worship - The Just Shall Live by Faith Truths from the Book of Habakkuk Habakkuk: Meaning “He that embraces; a wrestler” or “the strong embrace of God.” Context: Worshipping the true God in the midst of a disintegrating culture. Main point: From Habakkuk worrying about national circumstances to Habakkuk worshipping the true God. 1.

Spiritual Warfare and Guarding Your Soul 2 Kings 6 and Ephesians 6 Spiritual warfare, trials, suffering, affliction, persecution…are we forgetting that we are in a spiritual battle? The valiant-for-truth believer in Christ ought to never forget that there is an unseen spiritual world that is in hostile opposition against Jesus Christ and His Church. This study is meant to help the Christian believer consider the reality of spiritual warfare and the importance of doing the will of the Lord in the strength that God provides. You must know: 1. Your own weakness, and the weakness of your enemy. 2. Your own strength, and the strength of your enemy. 3. Your victory through the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Scriptures: 2 Corinthians 4:16; 2 Kings 6:8-23; Ephesians 6:10-24; Romans 12:1-2 Recorded Apr 2001, San Luis Obispo, California.

Loving God and Being Transformed by His Word Be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind (Rom 12.1-2; Matt 22:23-40) “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” (Romans 12:1-2, KJV) “But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” (Matthew 22:34-37, KJV).

Praying to Our Ever-Loving Everlasting Father - John 17 (As opposed to sitting in Contemplative mystical silence.) Many modern mystics instruct that one can engage God in prayer through entering "the silence," chanting Christian mantras, visualizing Jesus, and sitting meditatively in "listening prayer." Contrary to these false teachings, this audio message takes a simple and straightforward look at Who we are to pray to, and how Jesus Christ Himself addressed "God our Father." This message includes: A look at our Lord’s prayers and the closeness and refuge that we too can have through praying and relying upon God our Father. Recognition of some of the divine titles ascribed to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. What Scripture teaches on how we are to view God, as opposed to personal improper beliefs about God. Defining what a Father is, and the intelligent apprehension that is involved in a father/child relationship. The proper view of God enables us in biblical prayer, praise, and experiencing the fullness of joy in the Lord. Jesus Christ - the Ultimate Son, and God the Father - the Ultimate Father. The deepest affection of love, intelligence, and confidence in God our Father! Scriptures: John 17:1-24; Exodus 6; Exodus 20:7; Psalm 9:10; 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1; 1 Timothy 1:1-2; Ephesians 1:1-2; 2 Corinthians 1:3-7; John 20:16-18; Matthew 6:5-6; Galatians 4:6 Recorded Mar 2001, San Luis Obispo, California.

1:11:52Scientism, Sorcery and Word-Faith Movement Christianity The dangerous lust for power and godhood! As more and more churches and Christian movements are being boldly deceived into embracing occult principles wrapped in Christian terminology, the discerning believer in Christ must not remain silent! Desiring to educate the local body of Christ about the necessity of biblical discernment in such times, this audio message was given at an informal small group study where Chris formerly served for 10 years as a fellow church planter and pastor. The delivery of this message is soft-spoken in tone and follows Chris’s small group study outline, based in part on a chapter from Dave Hunt’s 1985 book, The Seduction of Christianity (Used by permission from The Berean Call). The content of Hunt’s book - along with Chris’s message - applies today more than ever! As internationally recognized false teachers and false prophets disciple whole new crops of johnny-come-lately (newcomers/latecomers/recent adherents) imposters, it appears that the bulk of western Christianity is succumbing to the great apostasy. This audio will help equip the individual with Scripture and also warn of some of the dangerous principles being taught by “evil men [and women] and seducers” who are waxing “worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived” (2 Timothy 3:13). Some of the topics covered or briefly mentioned include: Sorcery, Scientism, Atheism, Evolution, UFO’s (i.e., polymorphs), Religious Science/Mind Science cults, alleged “Laws of prosperity”, creating one’s own reality, Hinduism/karma/reincarnation), Transcendental Meditation, Word of Faith (Positive Confession), occultism, pantheism, chanting mantras/decrees, the universal force (i.e., impersonal energy/occult power), formulas and techniques for success, grasping for godhood, the lust for power, and more. Some of the biblical texts covered: 2 Timothy 3:1-17. Deception is widespread in the church and the world, and we must take heed. Perilous times are here! Exodus 7:1-25. Example of worldly-wise men and the sorcerers of Egypt resisting God’s truth through lying signs and wonders which they performed as they resisted God’s spokesman, Moses, and Aaron. Acts 8:5-24. The true faith of Philip and Peter versus the corrupt faith of an occultist named Simon (the Sorcerer). Simon wanted to buy God’s power and be recognized like many false teachers in our own day, who seek to declare and positively confess their authority and do miraculous “Signs, Wonders, Healings and Miracles.” In Acts chapter 8 we see Simon rebuked by God through the apostle Peter, for his great wickedness which he committed. Romans 1:18-32. Divine judgment against all who persistently suppress and reject God’s revealed truth and the Gospel of God (Romans 1:1-5) – His salvation through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Acts 17:11. Encouragement to be a Berean and to “search the Scriptures” - to find out whether the things Paul spoke were true, and us too!. This message also includes mentions and quotes from authors, book covers, scientists, ufologists (UFOs), occultists, Word-Faith teachers, etc. ---> For other messages in this same series see Chris’s online archives and podcasts.

The New Age Then and Now - Acts 19 A brief overview of Acts 19:1-27 We live in a world that is hostile to the biblical Jesus Christ of Nazareth. So too, many of us have experienced growing hostility from non-Christians and from apostate Christian churches that have become theologically offensive to Jesus Christ. This audio message considers various topics in the Christian missions life, cross-cultural work, spiritual warfare, and the biblical injunction to confront teachings that are hostile to biblical revelation. Topics mentioned: - Boldly reasoning, speaking, and persuading individuals to repent of sin and believe in the biblical Gospel, instead of ecumenical Interfaith “dialogue.” - The danger of Occult healing arts, lying signs and wonders, and demonic manifestation and possession states that deceptively mislead people under the guise of being "gifts of the Holy Spirit." - The problem of New Age and ecumenical Christian churches engaging in dialogue and alleged “Gay Christian” workshops. Teachings and people mentioned: New Thought Metaphysics (Warren Felt Evans, Phineas Quimby), Christianized Metaphysics for Evangelical Ecumenism (Norman Vincent Peale, Robert Schuller), Mormonism (Brigham Young, Joseph Smith), Evolutionism, Hinduism, Yogi’s, Theosophy and Occultism (Helena P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant), Mind Science Cults (Christian Science - May Baker Eddy), Guru’s (The Beatles and the Hare Krishna cult), Modern Occultism (George Gurdjeiff), Theosophical Society (Helena P. Blavatsky, Annie Besant, Nicholas Roerich), Spiritism, Spiritualism and Christian Spiritualism (Moses Hull), Rudolph Steiner (Anthroposophy and the Anthroposophical Society), Rosicrucian Movement (Max Heindel and the Order of the Rose Cross), Unity School of Christianity (Charles and Myrtle Fillmore), Church Universal and Triumphant (Elizabeth Claire Prophet), Science of Mind and Religious Science (Ernest Holmes), Religious Science (Terry Cole Whitaker), The Sleeping Prophet (Edgar Cayce), George Baker (aka “Father Divine”), Scientology (L.

1:04:21Perilous Times and the True Purpose and Dangers of Yoga An Overview of the Facts Subjects covered: 1. Perilous times are here! (2 Tim 3:1- 17). 2. Yoga has arrived in our communities! 3. What is the “occult,” and occultism? (various definitions). 4. Community-wide illustrations and literature samples a. New Age/occult infiltration and practices. b. “Exercise” and “Wellness” Yoga classes at state universities and colleges such as California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo and Cuesta College San Luis Obispo, California. c. Local Yoga Studios, journals, publications, etc. 5. Worldview clarifications: a. Biblical worldview - Man is created, separate from God, sinful, and in need of salvation through the atoning work of Jesus Christ and His bodily resurrection. b. Monism (monistic) - "All is One, One is All." c. Pantheism (pantheistic) - "God is All, All is God." d. Pantheistic Monism - "All is One, One is All, All is God." * Pan-en-theism (panentheistic) = Variations of ”All in God” and/or “God in All.” e. Gnosticism - Salvation through “knowledge” (gnosis) via esoteric and mystical experiences, rather than through faith alone in Jesus Christ alone . f. Polytheism (polytheistic) - Belief in many gods. g. Animism - Frome animae , "spirits" in rocks, trees, animals, etc. h. Karma/Reincarnation - The Law of sowing and reaping and an endless cycle of judgment and rebirth. i. Occult “energy” - creative force, life force, vital force, "The Force", impersonal force, animal magnetism, chi (yin/yang), the innate, New Age “consciousness,” vital energy, universal life energy, cosmic energy, mana, orgone, para-electricity, prana, vital energy, etc. j. New Age (occultism) - Umbrella term defined. 6. Our duty as Christians (Ephesians 5:6-14): Ephesians 5:6-14: "Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. Be not ye therefore partakers with them. For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;) proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light. Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.” 7. What is Yoga? a. Definitions from Collegiate dictionaries. b. Definitions from Christian authors. c. Definitions from Hindu yogis and occultists. 8. How did Yoga invade the West? a. Theosophy and the Theosophical Society, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, Annie Besant, Jiddu Krishnamurti. b. Christian Science, New Thought and Unity School of Christianity. c. The pervasion of the 1960’s hippie, drugs, music, and yogi “god-men” occult explosion. 9. Dissemination of Hindu and Buddhist variations of occult philosophies and teachings. 10. Is this a New Age, or the Same Old Lie that Lucifer (through the serpent) deceived Eve with? (Genesis 3:1-5; Deuteronomy 13:1-3). 11. The theory of Yoga (occult philosophy) is inextricably tied to the practice of Yoga (postural and meditative). a. Postural Yoga is designed to physically and spiritually open up the “psychic” senses. b. The aim of all Yoga is to arouse Kundalini shakti - the serpent power of Hinduism. c. The ultimate end result of yoga is, “a progressive dismantling of human personality ending in a complete abolition.” d. Quote from the Encyclopedia of New Age Beliefs (John Ankerberg and John Weldon) : “This is why people who practice yoga only for physical or mental health reasons are ultimately the victims of a confidence game. They are promised better health; little do they suspect the end goal of yoga is to destroy them as individuals. As yoga authorities Feuerstein and Miller comment, yoga results in "a progressive dismantling of human personality ending in a complete abolition. With every step ( anga ) of Yoga, what we call 'man' is demolished a little more.” (George Feuerstein, Jeanine Miller, Yoga and Beyond: Essays in Indian Philosophy, New York: Schockenn, 1972.) Note also that Dr. Georg Feuerstein (born 1947) is a German-Canadian Indologist who has authored over 45 books on mysticism, Yoga, Tantra, and Hinduism, and Buddhism. 12. The progression and the ultimate goal of yoga leads to delusion and the destruction of the individual human. 13. Warnings, acknowledgments, and dangers from the authoritative yoga texts. a. “Giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons” (1 Tim 4:1). b. Why so many quotes in this audio - because the warnings are authoritative, documented, and published. c. Quotes: - What about the Occult? - Risks and Hazards of Yoga. - Kundalini arousal. d. Spontaneous yoga poses fueled by occult power can manifest at the whim of the forces of darkness. 14. God’s purposes versus “Eastern [occult] ways” (occult spirituality and pagan religious practices). Hebrews 12:14; Hosea 2:5-6; Isaiah 47:8-15. 15. Christianity and Eastern occult religions cannot be combined or blended. a. Printed testimony of Christina Grof of her kundalini manifestations from doing Hatha Yoga , September 28, 1968 (See, The Stormy Search for the Self: A Guide to Personal Growth through Transformational Crisis , June 1, 1992 , Christina and Stanislav Grof). b. Manifestations, psychoses, painful and agonizing experiences, and extreme delusion as ”spiritual emergencies.” These are actually demonic possession states wrongly labeled as states and stages of “personal metamorphosis,” “healing,” the alleged “cycle of inner death and rebirth,” and “spiritual transformation” that (as the Grof’s believe) bring healing through a connection to a transcendent Higher Power or Higher Self. c. The Biblical Gospel versus Yoga (i.e., Hindu occult Self-Realization). d. God’s wrath against sin versus His judgment on sin at the cross and the current and future hope of the Christian. e. John 3:36 - “He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.” f. John 8:21-24 - “Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.” 16. Salvation and victory through Jesus Christ! a. Satan is a liar, murderer, the wicked one, the devil, the slander, the God hater, etc. b. Yoga is a works-based-do-it-yourself-religion that cannot save the soul. c. The simplicity of the biblical Gospel. 17. Final warning about Yoga! a. All yoga practice (postural and meditative) is directly tied to the occult philosophy that it is derived from. b. Yoga is Hinduism and Christian and non-Christians alike should - and are - warning about its dangers. c. Christians need to warn others about spiritual deception - including the dangers of Yoga.

1:02:25Praise of the Scriptures According to Thy Word Psalm 119 The longest chapter in the Holy Bible - 176 verses - Psalm 119 stands as a magnificent testimony of the life-giving foundation and reviving power of the Word of God. Believers who rely on God’s Word can freely experience the promised blessings and benefits of studying, believing, and obeying the scriptures. The Word of God believed brings blessing (119:1), cleansing (119:09), strengthening (119:28), quickening - live-giving power (119:50) and so much more. It is everlasting (119:89), sweetening (119:103), guiding (119:105), protecting (119:114), enlightening (119:130), purifying (119:140), and truth-telling (119:160). For the entirety of the believers' life on earth, it is a delight (119:77), it brings spiritual illumination (119:105, 130), and it expresses the deep longing of the ultimate completion of the believer's “salvation” (119:174). Psalm 119:1-2 - “Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart..” Psalm 119:9-11 - “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word. With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments. Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Recorded 07-08-1998 Chris Lawson Jude 3 LawsonChristopher.org (Ministry Support/Missions) SpiritualResearchNetwork.Org (Research/Articles) Chris Lawson Store (Chris Lawson | SRN Store) Dangers of Yoga (Dangers of Yoga and Meditation) Chris Lawson Discernment Pack!

The Necessity of Biblical and Discerning Pastors Ephesians 4:11-16 This audio includes a brief overview of Ephesians chapters 1-3 and an expositional study of Ephesians 4:11-16. It also serves as a clarion call to pastors and church leaders to "Prove [test] all things, hold fast that which is good" (1 Thes. 5:21). Based on Ephesians 4:11-16, the Holy Spirit through the Apostle Paul makes it very clear that pastors are to equip the saints for the work of ministry. Many pastors and church leaders in our day, including countless church elders and youth leaders, are not only not teaching the whole counsel of God, but they are also allowing many aberrant and heretical teachings into the Body of Christ. This leaven of false teaching comes through in sharing speaking platforms with false teachers, the allowance of false teaching in church “book” studies, conferences, and compromised bookstores. This study will help church leaders take a closer look at their own lives as well as the doctrines they profess to believe.

1 Biblical Principles That Cut Through Ecumenical New Age Christianity 1:08:07

1:08:07Confronting the New Age/New Gospel/New Christianity Biblical discernment and defending the faith The biblical mandate is to judge and discern between good and evil. Proper judgment, improper judgment, testing all things, and being biblically discerning. Beware of false prophets - they look like Christians yet they have characters "like ravenous wolves...You shall know them by their fruits." The Five Basic Doctrines of the Christian faith. A sample listing of various unbiblical “Christian” movements today. Occult practices canvassed in a veneer of "Christian" terminology. What is “judging,” “testing the spirits,” and “spiritual whoredom”? Scriptures: Matthew 7:1-5, 15-23; 1 Corinthians 5:9-15; 10:5:15; 1 John 4:1-6; Revelation 17:1-6, 18:4 Various principles of biblical discernment: Principles of discernment in the light of deception and false teachers: “try the spirits” (1 John 4:1); “mark and avoid those that bring doctrine contrary to what we have learned” (Romans 16:17); “rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith” (Titus 1:13); “have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them” (Ephesians 5:11); “[we are to] withdraw from them” (2 Thessalonians 3:6); “[we are to] turn away from them” (2 Timothy 3:5-7); “rreceive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.” (2 John 10-11); “a man that is an heretic after the first and second admonition reject” (Titus 3:10); “Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you.” (2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1). Illustrating the great need for biblical discernment: Islam: Yahweh is not Allah. Freemasonry - A syncretistic New Age/occult religion. Mormonism - 17 major errors have produced a do-it-yourself work towards self-godhead polytheistic belief system. Angels - 25 major errors believed today in conflict with the Bible. Jehovah’s Witnesses - 45 primary errors in conflict with the Bible that make up this theologically and sociologically abusive cult. Roman Catholicism - 62 primary errors in conflict with the Holy Bible. Various components of biblical salvation that Roman Catholicism undermines and distorts. Exposing New Age/New Gospel/New Spirituality in Western Christianity: - Genesis 3:1-5 - The LIE! - “One-ness”(Oneness) comes from the Occult Worldview that teaches that the “self” is God (Self). This is in direct opposition to the Biblical Worldview that God is holy and separate from sinful mankind that is in need of redemption. "Two-ness" is the idea that God is distinct and separate from His creation and sinful humanity. The Biblical Worldview refutes the concept of Monism (“One-ness”) and its dangerous philosophical offspring - pantheism, panentheism, and evolutionary occultism. Where is it all headed?: Acknowledging "Self-godhood" through the implementation of Quantum spirituality (Science plus spirituality = denial of "separation"), Christian shamanism, Integral Spirituality/Integral Christianity, Christian Vedanta. The blasphemy of self-deification and Mystery Babylon (Rev. 17:1-5) is the ultimate LIE! The danger of the Contemplative “centering prayer” movement of Thomas Keating and “Christian Vedanta" (Christian Hinduism). Contemplative Pioneer Thomas Keating says, “If you don’t want to become God, you’ve missed the boat.” Exhortation: We must define our terms lest we be deceived like those who “redefine” Jesus of Nazareth into what He is clearly not. Closing words and a practical exhortation to remain loyal to the Jesus Christ of Scripture. (Recorded: Mar 18, 2015) See also, The "Jesus Calling" Sarah Young Devotional Series - Expose Archive .

Reconciled, Changed and 'Useful' for the Glory of God The Book of Philemon A message of hope, grace, and love through Jesus Christ our Lord! Teaching through the Book of Philemon, this message speaks of reconciliation and forgiveness, and from going from being unsaved and unuseful to being saved and useful for the glory of God. Philemon's love and faith Paul's plea for Onesimus to be reconciled Philemon's obedience encouraged Farewell "Therefore, though I might be very bold in Christ to command you what is fitting, yet for love’s sake I rather appeal to you—being such a one as Paul, the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ— I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, whom I have begotten while in my chains, who once was unprofitable to you, but now is profitable to you and to me. I am sending him back. You therefore receive him, that is, my own heart, whom I wished to keep with me, that on your behalf he might minister to me in my chains for the gospel. But without your consent I wanted to do nothing, that your good deed might not be by compulsion, as it were, but voluntary. For perhaps he departed for a while for this purpose, that you might receive him forever, no longer as a slave but more than a slave—a beloved brother, especially to me but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord. — Philemon 1:8-15 Recorded 7/25/99.

Understanding The Cults (Pt.1) Hindrances to Counter-Cult Evangelism The introductory section of this message defines what “truth” is according to the Bible, versus concepts such as error, deception, deceit, guile, duplicity, fraud, and the “making merchandise” of Christians. Modern church failures and struggles are mentioned along with exhortations to remain faithful to Christ, to speak the truth in love, and to evangelize the lost. With no intention of sounding condescending, the middle portion of this audio mentions modern Christianity’s struggle to accurately preach the gospel, evangelize in a biblical manner, and warn the church of false teachers. Also mentioned is the importance of guarding one’s heart and mind against the fear of man and spiritual apathy. In contradistinction to these things, the biblical mandate to obey Christ, speak the truth in love, hate evil, study the Word of God, and give people biblical reasons for the hope that we have in Christ are encouraged. The last portion of this message explains several reasons why cults flourish in our community and numerous anti-Judeo/Christian worldviews that produce confusion in society and the church. Topics covered or mentioned include monism (All-is-One), pantheism (All-is-God), pantheistic monism (All-is-One, One-is-All, All-is-God), Gnosticism , polytheism , animism , karma and reincarnation, the Star Wars “force”, holy laughter counterfeit revivals/movements, chakras, and occult energy, kundalini (shaktipat), moral decay and relativism , false prophets in the world and the church, and more. Scriptures: John 14:6; 17:14-17; Prov. 30:15; 2 Cor. 11:12 -15; 2 Pet. 2:1-3; Acts 20:28-31; John 8:22-25; Matt. 23:27-33; 2 Tim. 2:15; 1 Pet. 3:15; 1 John 4:1; 2 Cor. 4:3-4; 2 Pet. 2:19; Hosea 4:6; Jer. 29: 8-9; Matt. 7:15-23; Matt. 25:41; Jer. 5:31.

The Holy Spirit vs Abusive Cult and Occult Thought Reform Have You Fallen Prey to Communistic Mind Control Tactics? Have you ever been interested in what the Bible teaches about Who and What the Holy Spirit is, versus who and what the Cults, Occult movements, and abusive churches teach about Him? This audio covers three main topics. It begins first with a brief review of eight variations of abusive thought reform utilized under Communist regimes and in abusive churches. Second, it mentions a sample listing of non-Christian and pseudo-Christian Cults and Occult movements that are abusive in varying levels. Third, it gives a brief scriptural overview of the nature and work of the Holy Spirit as the Lord Jesus Christ and the historic Christian faith have always taught. Recorded during a PowerPoint presentation at a biblical apologetics discernment seminar (07/20/2008), the original title of this message was ‘Cultic Influences vs. God The Holy Spirit.'

Preaching the Gospel, Suffering, and Apostasy Heartfelt truth of the beauty of the Gospel and missions Yesterday I was asked, “Do you preach the Gospel in churches?” My answer is, “Yes, I have for many years as a pastor and missionary.” These past few years however I have not been asked to speak quite as much as I used to. The clear reason for this is because while defending and proclaiming the Gospel, I do not neglect the biblical duty of exposing error and naming the names of known false teachers. I never do this to be harsh and unkind, but rather, to lovingly and biblically warn the body of Christ about the dangers of spiritual deception and end-times apostasy. God’s own mandate through the apostle Paul to all pastors is, “I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine” (1 Tim. 4:1-2) . The Holy Spirit of God, through the apostle Paul, also warned, “For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables” (2 Tim. 4:3-4). This “time” Paul spoke of arrived a long time ago, yet many leaders today fail to see what is going on. The following sermon was originally titled, “Suffering.” It was delivered during my December 2004 visit to the United States, from the pulpit of the sending church we had previously spent ten years helping to establish. My family and I had been overseas for two straight years as missionaries to Edinburgh, Scotland, one of the most Witchcraft-filled, secular cities in Western Europe, and while home for a few weeks I was asked to share a bit on our missions experience. So I did, with deep conviction and meaningful tears. While in Scotland, we were immersed in evangelism, church planting, reaching out to scattered Christians, and attending the Institute of Biblical Studies. We also pioneered our SRN apologetics and discernment ministry that helped assist us in reaching out cross-culturally to hurting Christians and non-believers. Through living and ministering in the United Kingdom, we also got a much broader perspective on the dangers of apostasy and ensuing destruction that occurs in churches where pastors fail to heed the clear teachings of Scripture. In this tear-filled biblical Gospel message, I communicated some of what Christian missions and suffering entail. I also clearly warned our sending church, at that time, of the dangers of apostasy, Emerging Church false teachers (Rick Warren, Marc Driscoll, Leonard Sweet), Roman Catholic and Church of England and Church of Scotland apostasy, and more. Altogether, I just did what Paul the apostle did, and would continue to do today if he were here amongst us. Paul exhorted the Christian leaders in Ephesus, “Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears” (Acts 20:31). This message was preached ten years ago this month (December 2014). In it, you will get an idea of my love for the body of Christ and for lost souls, and my love for the truth of God’s Word as it is found in the biblical Jesus of Nazareth. You will also understand more about my biblical convictions and here my joy and pain as a missionary communicating Christ’s love and His Gospel message. In listening to this, it is my hope and prayer that you gain a sense of the scriptural importance of nailing your colors to the mast so-to-speak, for Jesus Christ and His everlasting gospel. We are not in a popularity contest, we are here to serve and glorify Jesus Christ and tell people the truth! Jesus was nailed to a cross and vicariously bled and suffered and died on our behalf, paying the penalty of God's wrath that we deserve to pay for breaking God's Law. He then physically and victoriously resurrected from the tomb three days later, showing that He has conquered sin and death. Jesus did this all out of love for us, that we might be forgiven of our sins and be saved from the day of God's coming judgment on Christ-rejecting, unbelieving sinners. We should gladly be willing to suffer on Christ's behalf, that His love and truth and gospel message may go forth in the power of His Spirit, to this languishing and dying world.

What Is A Discerning Christian? Spiritual Maturity and Biblical Discernment Christian discernment begins first with salvation in Christ (Hebrews 5:1-14) and then maturing as a believer through the teaching of God’s Word (1 Timothy 4:1-8). As the believer grows in their walk relationship with God, they ought to be able to discern between both good and evil, to "test the spirits to see whether they are of God," and to separate from spiritual error and false teachings. Subjects covered in this message include Contending for the Faith , patience and kindness in evangelism, the dangers of redefining biblical terminology, Christian bookstore and book endorsement compromises, the danger of pastoral vagueness in not naming the names of false teachers, and confusion in the body of Christ as a result of sharing speaking platforms with known false teachers. Various illustrations include the dangers of redefinition of terms in pseudo-Christian Cults and in the Church, the dangers of yoga, Harry Potter witchcraft, vampirism and bloodlust, Oprah Winfrey and friends (Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Eric Butterworth, A Course in Miracles ), astrology and the occult, Worldview confusion, false Christs, false "anointed ones", and more.

This audio covers the straightforward no compromise truth about the mystical/occult roots of Thomas Keating's - and Richard Foster, and Dallas Willard's (etc.) "contemplative" "Centering Prayer" (CP) method. It also takes a closer look at Yoga as defined by Occultists, Hindu gurus, and the Cult of the Theosophical Society and Publishing House, which was instrumental in bringing occult "prayer" methods and techniques to the West. Every Christian leader should know the facts and dangers associated with these things instead of hiding behind what compromised Christian leaders are saying about them.

1:02:27Jesus of Nazareth Versus Today's False Anointing A warning about counterfeit "anointed ones" and occult "impartations"! A look at how false teachers are mocking the biblical Jesus of Nazareth (as opposed to redefinitions of Jesus) through the false mystical anointing and occult “impartations.” Blasphemously attributing stage hype, temporary psychosomatic "healings", occult manifestations, false “words and visions” and lying signs and wonders, to God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, many of today's false teachers are simply producing heresies and divinations worthy of the judgment of God. What’s needed more than ever today is for true Christians to fulfill their God-given duty to keep a close watch on and separate from those who bring contrary doctrine (Rom. 16:17-19), to “test the spirits” (1 Thess. 5:21), and to expose the unfruitful works of darkness (Eph. 5:11).

2:08:47Calvary Chapel Concerns & Greg Laurie Endorses 'Have Heart' (Communicating with the dead) Praying to and being overshadowed by hovering dead relatives? Description: Michael-Anthony Rene Chavez & Sergio Martinez of SAID Radio Interview Chris Lawson SAID Radio Summary: "We were privileged to interview Chris Lawson of Spiritual Research Network as he discusses his concerns in the direction some Calvary Chapels are headed, problems with the "Moses-Aaron" [Moses-style] model, and the dangers of "Have Heart" amongst other topics. We pray that its a blessing as you listen in " ----- Michael and Sergio, Saints Abounding in Discernment. (Aired: Nov 17, 2012 (https://www.saidradio.net). Re-posted: Oct 23, 2013) The original post was at the following link, and then the audio was eventually removed from the Internet: https://www.saidradio.net/2012/12/our-interview-with-chris-lawson.html Note from Chris Lawson: When listening to this message please note that I am not against the Theocratic leadership model for the Hebrews , as is found in the Bible, that God Himself instituted for Moses - back then - in order to lead the children of Israel out of Egypt. Rather, I am against the setting up of one man over others to the point of the detriment of a balanced and fully scriptural New Testament plurality of elders, within a local congregation and church movement. A thorough investigation of Scripture clearly shows a balanced plurality of biblical eldership for New Testament churches - from the day of Pentecost to the Rapture, not top-down "Moses-style" models that place one man above the rest with the end result of heavy shepherding, various forms of spiritual abuse, stonewalling fellow pastors/elders, and church leadership that reflects Diotrephes (3 John 9-11). John the Apostle warned about Diotrephes and God the Holy Spirit through the text of Scripture ( via John's penmanship) shows us, "I [John] wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiveth us not." The context of 3 John 8-12 also shows us the contrast between the arrogant "Diotrephes" versus the godly Demetrius; "Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of the truth itself: yea, and we also bear record, and ye know that our record is true." (3 John 12).

1:12:07Warning About New Age Influences in Rick Warren's Daniel Plan New Age Sympathies, Occult Promoting Doctors, and Zero Discernment! Discussion between Chris Lawson and Ray Yungen (1952-2016) This discussion between Ray and Chris details some of the serious compromises that Rick Warren is allowing with New Age doctors and various Alternative Health (New Age) practices on Rick Warren's Saddleback Church 'Daniel Plan' website. The dangers of "occultism" and the sympathies of Rick Warren's New Age doctors (leaders/advisers) are discussed in detail, as is The Daniel Plan website promotion of the "4-7-8 Breath Technique." This "4-7-8 Breath Technique" method comes directly from yogic literature and is oftentimes used by "occultists" to enter the various Altered States of Consciousness. Even full-blown Satanists have been known to use this method to contact their spirit guides, which in actuality are demonic forces hateful to God, Jesus Christ, and all Christians.
