I have to be honest here. This video was hard to watch. The amount of blasphemy, mockery, and wicked thinking coming from this "movement" is extremely hard to watch. Hearing and seeing people twist, distort, and misrepresent the Gospel is nothing new, and most of us are used to seeing and hearing it by now, but this whole "movement" rises to unprecedented levels. It's so hard to watch people treat our Lord and Savior as just another person. Saying He is just someone we are actually superior to makes me sick. I'm so sorry to the Lord for all the wickedness, hatred, and ungratefulness people show towards Him. God Bless 🥰

What a bunch of sanctimonious self righteous hypocrites you people are. The man "Jesus" was a human being with a sinful nature, just like YOU are.... If he was not, then ALL that he did for you means absolutely NOTHING . Maybe you should actually "study the scriptures" sometime as commanded, instead of listening to your FALSE teachers . Start with this one......" Who in the days of his flesh when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto Him who was able to SAVE HIM FROM DEATH, and was heard because of his GODLY FEAR . Although he was a son, he LEARNED OBEDIENCE FROM WHAT HE SUFFERED, and having BEEN PERFECTED he BECAME the author of eternal salvation to all who obey him." ( Hebrews 5:7 - 9 ) Oh, and I guess his "temptation by the devil" was all for show........is that right ???

Years before I was born again, I was drawn to one of these Unity churches. What you said about their shallow beliefs resonated with me because I left because the people were just so shallow. There was no depth there. They were all of a wealthier class or at least striving for that. Very worldly.
This is all new to me. It is so unbelievably twisted.
thank you Danny and Robin! It was painful to hear these people who are leading so many astray. So many to pray for....so many to love.
Another excellent episode from both of you! This is something near and dear to my heart because I have had a number of difficult things happen to me over the last 20 years, and some of them feel almost bizarre in how they've come about -- a freak car accident, my dad's death from medical malpractice, etc. I also have some chronic health conditions that make life difficult. But if I am going to praise and trust our God when things are going well, how much more must I praise and trust him when they're not!!!! And yet well-meaning Christians insist that my chronic pain is either the result of sin in my life or of my actually acknowledging that it is, in fact, chronic and that it is, in fact, painful. And when I tell them how very much the Lord Jesus has taught me through it all (humility, trust, the importance of BEING rather than DOING), even the praise directed to Him is seen as some sort of a negative confession. I expect this kind of foolishness from those who don't know Christ. But hearing from my brothers and sisters in the Church that my back pain is present simply because I acknowledge that I have back pain is really hard. Being told that my father died because I dared to be alarmed at hearing that he had sudden, untreated sepsis coursing through his body was absolutely crushing. But despite medical error and despite my own ill health, our God reigns, and it is not an act of piety or worship to lie in the face of difficulty or brazenly sneer at death. This is probably the Long For Truth that I will share with the most people, and I thank you sincerely

Same situation. The church’s inability to accept the fact that I have permanent autoimmune disorders that cause chronic pain and chronic illness was the final straw in my walking away from belonging to a church. Toxic Positivity and New Thought (which undergirds the Prosperity Gospel) are gutting the church from the inside out. They are also destroying the mental health field and sneaking into the medical field as well. Sadly once a person gets damaged by this parasite they are prone to not seeking help again because the damage runs so deep.

@keelyEmerine-Mix, Can so identify with you. As a new believer many years ago, right away I started hearing God wanted to heal me of the pain I had due to spinal issues. I was born with issues then went through abuse in a Catholic orphanage after losing my mother. The pressure I allowed other believers to put on me to be healed caused more pain. After hearing often I had a demon, or some unconfessed sin only caused me to be more silent. I sought healing rather than trusting in the Healer. Oftentimes it seems those that aren’t healed walk a lonely walk when it comes to people. After waking up to the lies I was taught in WOF, I no longer believed their lie that God is not sovereign, and my outcome in life was up to me to receive all the promises. I just surrendered to the Lord, desiring His will above all. Even though we were taught that’s a lack of faith. My desire is to know Him, and trust in Him regardless of circumstances. Just tonight a friend asked me if I’ve considered deliverance, due to chronic pain. Believers can be thoughtless when it comes to suffering. May I always respond in love and forgiveness.

My mom raised me on the power of the subconscious mind book. She also taught us astrology. It was my moms Bible. After Jesus saved me, He immediately helped me discern this as being false but it took years and years for my mind to be trained not to think about someone in terms of the sign they were born under. It’s a stronghold. All of this is a stronghold. 1 Peter 1:13 tells us to prepare our minds for action!
Thank you for the Percy update.
Great video! Thank you for all the work and study you put into this. Scary how this stuff is everywhere.
What is frightening is that this is not something that has remained in the hyper charismatic circles. I have heard rhetoric similar to this from Baptists, Nazarenes, Methodists and others.
When I was going through a very difficult time in my life 20 years ago, I was encouraged by a few coworkers to go to a nondenominational church in Los Angeles, where I lived at the time. They told me it would be life changing. I grew up in a Christian elementary school but didn’t have any religious kind of anything at home. I was hesitant to go to this church but did go and I was immediately shocked by its popularity. They had overflow parking lots. It was structured like any church service - a worship team, announcements, prayer and a charismatic “reverend”. I cried so much my first visit and apparently so did many others - there were ushers specifically tasked with handing out kleenex! I had no idea what new thought was, but what they taught at this church jived with all the new age stuff I’d been learning from Oprah so I stayed for a while. I ended up leaving after 9 months - the reverend treated Jesus as a prophet and I had enough discernment to know that wasn’t correct. Fast forward 5 years later and after another difficult time in my life I was directed by some people I met to go to their church. Lo and behold it was a Word of Faith church and what the pastor taught was so similar to the Nee Thought church. I stayed for a few years until God in his mercy opened my eyes. In retrospect, I’m honestly shocked by the popularity of the New Thought church!
Very good program today. Thank you and God be with you!

I have been watching these heretics mock, blaspheme God and deceive and lead many to hell for the past 45 years and this has expanded and gotten worse (popularly accepted). It makes me mad!

In 2013 I emailed D. Paul Reilly, the famed motivational speaker who was often featured on PBS. He often wrote and spoke positively about all religions. When i told him that Jesus Christ is the only way to heaven; and that salvation can only be found in Him and not in other religious founders like Mohammed, Buddha or Confucius, he became very irate and told me not to email him again. He died about four or six years ago. I do hope he accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, although i sincerely doubt that he did. Whatever he taught, it was similar to New Thought. Reilly was the Norman Vincent Peale of the secular motivational circuit. Peale was a hero of Robert Schuller, of the Crystal Cathedral
It has been said before: "I find Paul appealing and Peale appalling" I was raised listening to the positive thinking psychology and came to understand that it is magical, inane and not founded at all in scripture but on Eastern mysticism. Another false prophet of this quasi-Gnostic genre was Robert Schuller who translated the doctrines of the Bible into his own heretical self-esteem philosophy. To Schuller, sin was the LACK OF SELF-ESTEEM. Schuller's christ was a psycho-savior who is “self-esteem incarnate.” Transformation occurs as we we replace negative self-concepts with positive ones. All that being said, the Longs, as always, MISS THE MARK by accusing EVERY Christian Continuationist of interpreting the "greater works" saying of Jesus like these positive thinking practitioners.

To a degree they're correct. For example, if I sit and think unhappy thoughts all day, I'll end up unhappy all day. Where I take exception with these charlatans is that they treat God as if He's some kind of cosmic bellhop who will give them whatever they think of.

That's not what they're saying. Word of faith theology says your words and thoughts have power to create and destroy. It makes man sovereign over God. We're to renew our minds with God's word but our thoughts and words are not sovereign over God as they teach. Their entire doctrine is heresy and blasphemy.
