Muslims hear about Jesus on Capitol Hill  

Posted by Jeff

Joel Rosenberg has posted a great followup to the "Islam on Capitol Hill" event that happened yesterday.

Of the approximately 3,000 Muslims that came, apparently a large proportion of them received a packet of materials from Christians who were there to greet them respectfully and offer them gifts - which included the JESUS film and the DVD More Than Dreams. It was extremely encouraging to read the testimony of one Muslim woman who said, "I am very sincere. I will definitely take this home and look at these things." There really are sincere Muslims who are hungry for the true knowledge of God. That hunger alone is not enough to save them, but I think the ever-increasing testimonies of Muslims receiving dreams and visions of Jesus is evidence that God is still doing what He did with Cornelius. (Acts 10:1-5)

Sadly, these believers were upstaged by others who seemed to think that shouting angry condemnations - and mixing political messages into their proclamation of Jesus - was what was most profitable to do. The story below of a woman who challenged one of the protesters about his willingness to die in order that Muslims might be saved is very telling.

“ISLAM ON CAPITOL HILL” EVENT ATTRACTS FAR LESS THAN EXPECTED: Evangelical Christians use opportunity to share gospel with thousands of Muslims « Joel Rosenberg’s Weblog: "“I’m just really concerned about the message you guys are communicating. Aren’t we supposed to love them? Aren’t we supposed to share the truth in love? Would you die to bring these people the gospel? Do you want them to be saved, or just to tell them that they’re following a lie?”
“Die for them?” the protester asked, somewhat bewildered, thinking about the concept for few moments. “I just don’t think I could. I have a wife and five kids.”"
By the way, I just finished reading Joel Rosenberg's book Epicenter, and I highly recommend it. I'm not sure yet whether I agree with his interpretation of the timing of the war of Gog and Magog in Ezekiel 38-39, and I definitely disagree with him about the timing of the Rapture, but his book is nonetheless fascinating and very readable.

Mike Bickle says that we must 'experience manifestations of Jesus' majesty which lead to repentance and servanthood", yet Jesus says to look to His WRITTEN WORD, not 'manifestations'. Jesus said, "SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES FOR THEY TESTIFY OF ME." John 5:39 The occultic society, anxious to bring in the antichrist through their agenda "New Beginnings", know that false teachers like Bickle are actually preparing the world to experience a 'manifestation', so they are actually preparing a false 'return of "the Christ" through Satanic means and technology. Constance Cumby discovered this plot back in the 80's and with the incredible ways that can be accomplished through multi-media displays 30 years later in 2010, even furthers the more advanced scenario that is coming! Jesus said, "If anyone says, here is The Christ, believe him NOT." Matthew 24:23, yet Bickles push for continued 'experience' to find 'truth' gives the earmarks of being a false prophet, and is preparing unbelievers to experience the coming deception by the antichrist and false prophet! (Revelation 13:13,14) Barbara Aho writes, “New Agers have studied Bible prophecy carefully, especially Matthew 24, and have documented plans to technically stage a "Second Coming,"...these plans have been published in a book entitled, The Armageddon Script, by New Age leader Peter LeMesurier.
’…According to Vatican official, Malachi Martin, author of The Keys of This Blood, this event will be most powerfully psychic. The force accompanying this vision will be so powerful it will literally bring the normal activity of the world to a standstill. The entire population of the world will experience a simultaneous changing of their minds…The vision will be preceded by either a loud sound, a bright light...”
Not content with the sufficiency of the Logos, Bickle uses odd terms disguised as a "word from the Lord". "God affends the mind to test the heart", is the kind of Bickle's non Scriptural double talk confusing many under his spell. Even today in some charismatic churches, the phrase, "Believe what you see" is being flashed on multi media screens. Instead of Bickle promoting the constant supernatural you would think he would be warning the church today of the FALSE prophets who will, in these last days be decieving millions with signs and wonders and doctrines of demons. Instead of c demanding that God PROVE Himself each Sunday with the spectacular and healings, the church today has become a venue of occultic happenings. Yet people can also be healed simply because we PRAY for them. Kevin Reeves book, "The Other Side of the River" explains in detail how he began to compare Scripture against what was happening in his church, and his eyes were opened to the false teachings he had been under for so long. Bickles continued use of 'gimmick phrases' like "ONE can happen" is even MORE suspicious jargon linked to the occultic agenda of the One World Church. ALso the phrase, "Speak to the dead.com" a charismatic evangelistic venture, lends itself to the very thing God abhors....'necromancy!" But "Talking to the dead', advertises a Satanic practice! The world is becoming comfortable with sorcery and now its in the CHURCH. Avoid false teachers such as Bickle, Joyner, and Jones who give homage to the supernatural instead of the LOGOS ALONE for Truth and are EXACTLY the type of men the Bible warns us about! "...and some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils." I Timothy 4
