A praise report regarding my discernment web site.

Dear All,

I received the following letter from someone who has been rescued out of false Christianity. I have removed her name to protect her identity as reprisals are common among these groups. I get a lot of letters from people who have realized they have been deceived by false teachers, but after having gone through what this lady describes I can only praise the Lord that He rescued her from such a dire situation.

Dear Mr. Simpson,

I would like to share with you that I am just now coming out of the false teachings of Latter Rain theology. I have been a member of a MorningStar {Rick Joyner} congregation for 13 years. I was an "intercessor" in my church for 13 years and led and trained other intercessors in "Spiritual Warfare" techniques perpetrated by Peter Wagner and Cindy Jacobs and all the rest of them. I was one of the false teachers. Sept 14, 2008 I walked out of my former congregation never to return. My former pastor has used guilt and condemnation and manipulation to try and make me continue to believe the false teachings. I could literally write a book on the deception that we are spoon fed a little at a time, year after year.

I have two garbage bags full of books, 60 so far that are now in the garbage waiting to be picked up tomorrow morning. I was indoctrinated into the deception. Being an avid reader I love books. The only problem is I was going to hell in a hand basket and none the wiser. Deception In The Church website has been a lifeline to me during this trying time. I literally thought that I was going to go insane. Everything that I have based my life on these last 13 years is false. I was a leader and a member of the highest standing in my former congregation. I was there 3 times a week, year in and year out. I was the poster child of my church.

I am ordering the (New Apostolic Reformation) DVD because I have to renew my mind on the truth of the scripture. My former pastor actually told me that, "Not all teaching has to line up with the Bible." We were having a heated discussion about Rick Joyner's teachings at the time. I answered and said, "I live my life by what the Bible says and for me it has to line up." As I said I could write a book about the twisting and lies.

Thank you for your service to the body of Christ. You are literally saving souls who are being led down a path of no return unless they find out the truth. God bless you and keep you.

Be encouraged that your support and prayers for the apologetics I am doing are paying off. Please continue to pray that God will grant more and more people repentance (2 Tim. 2:25). He is the God who rescues (Is. 46:4).

In His Hands,
Sandy Simpson
