Contemplative Prayer
emphasizes feelings and a supernatural experience
that will slowly draw us away from biblical faith.
It is not about "contemplation."
It is not about thinking.
It is about emptying your mind.
This includes "centering prayer."
Please watch the TWO excellent videos below.
Note:
The intro song is mocking people who seek to get information from dead Christians. Sadly many Christians do not know that getting information from dead people is necromancy and it is forbidden by God.
Many Christians are being drawn toward
exciting, supernatural experiences and
NEW knowledge of spiritual things.
Many supernatural things are NOT from God.

Christians do not realize that they can stumble into
supernatural experiences
that ARE NOT from God.

Our spiritual experiences
are NOT more important than
the Word of God.
"Contemplative spirituality"
is dangerous
because it elevates
personal experience to the same level as
Scripture
and
it takes you into the realm of the devil.
People stray away from Scripture to find an experience.
People wander into the realm of the devil.
Matthew 24:4
Jesus said, "Be not deceived"
and many other Bible verses
talk about believers being
deceived.
We are living in a time of GREAT deception.

I've noticed that many famous Christian teachers and preachers are going away from sound doctrine.
It puzzled me.
Through my studies of the past month, I have found
the reason
why most of them are moving away from sound doctrine.
Many Christians are being drawn toward
exciting, supernatural experiences and
NEW knowledge of spiritual things.
Danger - Danger
They do not realize that they can stumble into
supernatural experiences
that ARE NOT from God.
They are moving into New Age practices - also called the Occult.
New Age is Eastern Mysticism.
It is the supernatural realm of the devil.

Contemplative Prayer
is not contemplative. It is not about thinking.
It is about emptying your mind.
It is about saying a word like "Jesus" over and over
for 20 minutes or more
while not thinking about anything.
Then a deceptive spirit comes to talk to them.
This spirit often says it is Jesus.
It is not Jesus.
Jesus explains in Matthew 24:5 KJV
For many shall come
in my name,
saying,
I am Christ;
and shall deceive many.
A false Jesus or Christ
is coming to many individuals
who are getting
involved with New Age / Occult practices.
Jesus TOLD us how to pray.
"When you pray
say,
'Our Father who art in Heaven.'"
Jesus did not say
try to empty your mind and get in touch with
"god" within yourself.

Contemplative Prayer
opens the door to demons.
Contemplative Prayer is not in the Bible.
And take note,
in Matthew 6:7
the Bible says
not to pray in
thoughtless repetition (NASB)
babbling like pagans (NIV)
vain repetitions like the heathen (KJV).
So for a multitude of reasons,
we know that
spending time repeating a word is not praying
and emptying your mind is not praying
the way Jesus told us to pray.
The Bible is our standard for faith and practice.
God reveals himself through His Scriptures -
not through your feelings.
The Word of God vs. Your feelings
Which one has more weight in your mind?
Which one has more pull when making decisions?
2 Timothy 3:16-17 KJV
All scripture
is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness:
That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly
furnished unto all good works.
-
New Age & Occult practices
tempt Christians
to gain extra biblical knowledge -
note that the knowledge
is from the demonic realm.

If you depart from Scripture
then who or what are you going to allow
to define Truth to you?
And I remind you
that it was
an angel
that tempted
Eve
to go against God's stated words.
Galatians 1:8 says
that evil angels
can come and try to take us into
deception!
I grieve because
so many Bible teachers I used to listen to ...
have turned away from Bible Scriptures
being the source of all truth.
Standing Firm in these Days
Jesus said
HE is the only way to heaven.
IF
there was another way to heaven,
then Jesus
would not have had to die
that horrible death !!!
Danger
when personal experiences
or feelings
are elevated to
the same level as Scripture or above Scripture.
