NTEB BIBLE RADIO: Rightly Dividing

Today, we are so excited to bring to you, for the first time ever, our Sunday Service morning message and Sunday Night Bible Study combined into a single, 2-hour time of prayer, prayer, preaching and Bible teaching! At the bottom of every article announcing the Sunday Services, you will find all the notes used in the course of the messages and Bible Studies we bring ro you weekly. Today my message and teaching is entitled "That Stumbling Stone', Jesus of Nazareth. 

“Wherefore? Because they sought it not by faith, but as it were by the works of the law. For they stumbled at that stumblingstone; As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.” Romans 9:32,33 (KJB)

All through the Bible, Jesus Christ is revealed as That Stumbling Stone—the tried Stone laid by God, the precious Corner Stone, the Stone rejected by the builders and the Rock of offence over which unbelieving men continue to stumble. Israel had been entrusted with the oracles of God and should have recognized its Messiah, yet the builders examined the Stone and cast Him aside. When Pilate presented Jesus Christ alongside a robber, insurrectionist and murderer, the people cried, “Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas.” But the Gentiles were equally guilty: Herod, Pontius Pilate, the Gentiles and the people of Israel gathered together and crucified the Lord of glory. At Calvary, the religious world and the political world united in choosing a guilty criminal over the sinless Son of God. Behold that stumbling Stone!

Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, 2001, America changed forever. Nearly 3,000 people were murdered, the World Trade Center disappeared from the Manhattan skyline, the Pentagon burned, and Americans watched in horror as the nation they thought they understood suddenly became something very different. We were told that 19 Islamic terrorists armed with box cutters had surprised the most powerful intelligence and military establishment on earth, penetrated American airspace, struck three of the most important targets in the United States, and changed the course of world history in less than two hours. I believed what I was told—until I didn’t.

“For there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; neither hid, that shall not be known.” Luke 12:2 (KJB)

For me, 9/11 has always been personal. I worked at Deloitte & Touche in the World Financial Center directly across the street from the Twin Towers. I had a friend who worked for Empire Blue Cross and spent time working in Tower 1. I was there. I visited him. I personally saw construction activity taking place around those floors that we understood at the time to involve elevator upgrade work. Twenty-five years later, there are far too many documented facts surrounding September 11 that deserve to be discussed openly instead of mocked, censored or dismissed with the magic words “conspiracy theory.”

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you 10 things that no one ever told you about 9/11 and the events that ushered America into a dystopian surveillance society.

The modern Charismatic movement began at Azusa Street by elevating supernatural experience above the written word of God. Charles Parham declared tongues to be the evidence of receiving the Holy Ghost; William Seymour carried that teaching into the 1906 Azusa Street Revival; and Aimee Semple McPherson later joined Pentecostal manifestations to celebrity, theatrical production and mass media. After World War II, William Branham popularized the “anointed man” claiming angelic visitations and supernatural discernment, while Oral Roberts transformed the healing tent into a television empire and turned miracles into merchandise through “seed-faith.” What began as emotional manifestations had become a profitable religious industry in which the preacher possessed the anointing, the audience supplied the money and the sick were blamed when the promised miracle failed.

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1 (KJB)

The counterfeit continued mutating. The 1948 Latter Rain movement announced the restoration of modern apostles and prophets; the Charismatic Renewal carried tongues and manifestations into Protestant denominations and Roman Catholicism; Word of Faith preachers such as Kenneth Hagin and Kenneth Copeland turned faith into a force and giving into a formula for prosperity; Toronto and Brownsville normalized shaking, screaming, falling and uncontrolled behavior as evidence of revival; and the New Apostolic Reformation combined restored apostles, private revelation, territorial spirits, deliverance, Seven Mountain dominionism and Christian Nationalism into a global religious network. Through every stage, the same deadly exchange was taking place: “What saith the scripture?” was replaced by “What did you feel?” and the authority of the Bible was surrendered to whoever claimed to possess the newest prophecy, impartation or anointing.

Kathryn Krick is not a strange departure from that history—she is its logical conclusion. Azusa Street now has a smartphone, the healing tent has become a viral video, the prayer cloth has become an online course, and the travelling faith healer has become a social-media “apostle” commanding demons before millions of viewers. From Parham and Seymour to Branham, Roberts, Copeland, Bethel and Krick, the faces and technology have changed, but the spirit remains the same: another Jesus, another spirit and another gospel wrapped in signs, wonders and Christian vocabulary. The modern Charismatic movement promises believers more power while quietly removing the only authority capable of exposing the counterfeit—the preserved, inspired and infallible word of God. The fire that began on Azusa Street is still burning, but Christians had better test the spirits before they call the fire holy. Because it’s not.

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we show you the strange fire and the counterfeit signs, miracles, wonders and seducing spirits of the Charismatic Movement.

The Lindsay Clancy case is no longer merely a murder trial—it has become a cultural contagion. Clancy does not deny strangling her three children, Cora, Dawson and Callan, yet hundreds of supporters dressed in pink gathered outside the courthouse while more than a million dollars poured into a fundraiser benefiting her parents. The jury deadlocked 11–1 in favor of finding her not criminally responsible, producing a mistrial and transforming the accused mother into a symbol of maternal suffering. Postpartum psychosis is real and may bear directly upon legal responsibility, but something has gone terribly wrong when the perpetrator becomes the face of the tragedy while the three murdered children fade into the background. These are truly perilous times we’re living in.

“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.” 2 Timothy 3:1-7 (KJB)

Now comes the chilling echo. Illinois mother Corie Walsh has been charged with murdering her two-year-old son, Bennet, after prosecutors say she hanged him in the basement and attempted to take her own life. According to authorities, Walsh had become deeply invested in the Clancy trial and discussed it shortly before her son’s death. Her attorney says she experienced a psychotic episode, while investigators allege that she called her own little boy “the devil” or “the Antichrist.” In North Dakota, another mother, Kailey Erhart, stands accused of attacking her three small children with a knife, killing two and seriously injuring the third. Authorities have not formally established either crime as an imitation of Clancy, but the emergence of multiple mothers accused of slaughtering their children amid a national movement portraying Clancy primarily as a victim should set off alarms throughout the country. What’s being overlooked in most of these cases are the children who are the actual victims. Who will advocate for them? We will.

On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, we give you everything you need to know — from a biblical perspective – about Lindsay Clancy and the spririt of Antichrist, as well as the latest chilling update on Antichrist candidate Jared Kushner.

There is perhaps no more chilling indictment of modern Christianity than watching pastors, worship leaders, theologians and Christian entertainers spend decades preaching about Jesus Christ, singing His name and building careers upon His church, only to eventually announce that they no longer believe the Bible, no longer believe in God and no longer consider themselves Christians. Former Pentecostal pastor Timmy Gibson is merely the latest name added to a rapidly growing procession that includes Joshua Harris, Jon Steingard, George Perdikis, Bart Campolo, Audrey Assad and others who once stood before crowds as representatives of the faith they now renounce. But their departures do not diminish Jesus Christ or disprove the word of God—they expose the terrifying difference between religious profession and biblical salvation. A huge difference as you'll soon see. 

"And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit." 1 Corinthians 15:45 (KJB)

You can preach Jesus without knowing Him, sing about the cross without trusting it, build a church without being born again and spend an entire lifetime inside Christianity without ever coming to Christ as a guilty sinner in need of a Saviour. The first Adam made us sinners and brought death upon the human race, but the last Adam—the Lord from Heaven—came to save sinners through His shed blood, death, burial and resurrection. If you came to Jesus for healing, happiness, success, acceptance or religious experience, but never came as a lost sinner trusting His finished work, then you came for the wrong reason. On this Sunday Service, we clear away the clutter and present you Jesus, high and lifted up.
