Top 5 False Doctrines To Avoid
- THE NEW MYSTICS -
I thought that I would take some time to put a list together of the top 5 false doctrines that the modern church world should avoid. I wanted to do this in a series and get to them, hopefully, daily. This list is by no means a doctrine of itself. I just compiled this information in order to present some of the more popular heresies that exist today and have a massive following. These movements are not what was intended by Christ or the early church. If you have problems with my list, please feel free to leave me a comment and we can discuss it civilly.
NUMBER 5 - THE NEW MYSTICS
—What Is This All About ?—
They claim to be a Christ centered ministry, but warning signs go off when they expound that their vision is to “practice the presence of God”. They are deep into “soaking” in the presence of God (another warning sign). They are heavily into the Signs and Wonders and promote prophetic schools where they can teach you how to function as a prophet including how to receive and deliver revelations, etc.
—Who Is Involved ?—
Probably the most famous of the New Mystics would be John and Lily Crowder and Benjamin Dunn. A simple google or Youtube search will bring up videos of these clowns “getting high” and drunk in the presence of god. They make an open mockery of the Holy Spirit and His giftings. I have posted about one video in particular here. and here.
Another prominent member of this movement is Joshua Mills. You might recognize him from one of my past posts here where Patricia King, another Mystic, builds his lies up until you hear the lies from his own mouth. Joshua mills regularly encounters angels, angel dust, gold dust, diamond dust, diamonds, feathers, and more. He even has oil pour out of his hands and onto other people.
—Why Should We Avoid Them ?—
The Bible says in Acts 17:29:
Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
Our focus should be on Christ and His Finished Work. If we are out seeking for signs and wonders we are not obeying God in his call on us to tell the World about Him. And the simple fact that we think that fake dust signifies the Glory of God, is sad. If I thought that glitter signified anything Godly, I might think twice about avoiding those strip clubs. I hear those girls get covered in the stuff.

John Crowder and his blasphemy makes me physically ill. I usually hesitate to label someone like that, but in his case I’ll make an exception. And although only God knows the heart of a man, I seriously think that he knows exactly what he’s doing, and he’s seeing how far he can push it. Not like I enjoyed Todd Bentley and his nonsense, but if this is what’s next….I’ll take him back please.
