GRACE REVOLUTION VS GRACE REVELATION

If indeed you comprehend the mystery of Christ, you will definitely understand the meaning and purpose of Grace. So let us start with the basics and then all the components of our salvation.
It is March 25, 2022, and there is a movement trending throughout the Body of Christ, called the “Grace Revolution,” which is a false teaching of grace. I have sat diligently watching and listening to those who have taken it upon themselves to teach such a doctrine. I am very careful not to judge or condemn my brothers who have quite possibly done great works in the Body of Christ, and I must also be mindful that there may be many who have come into the Kingdom of God due to their preaching over the years.
Therefore, while it is not my brothers in Christ that I seek to bring into condemnation, it is the erroneous doctrine of grace they are pouring into the Church of our Lord Jesus Christ that I must declare to be the doctrine of Satan. Again, one should be very careful in making such a statement. But I speak as the Father has instructed me. After sitting and listening to the teaching of these very famous influential ministers, the Lord said to me, “The purpose of this new grace revolution message is to rob the Body of Christ of its conviction of sin. Even the sons of God, who continuously walk in such a doctrine will eventually sear their own conscience. They will walk in promiscuity without an unction to walk pleasing to me.”
This is the word of the Lord that came to confirm His displeasure with this doctrine.
The grace revolution is a revolt against truth and an attempt to overthrow the faith of many. This is not the first time an ungodly revolution has taken place in the Body of Christ.
2 Timothy 2:15-18
15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
17 And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;
18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Though there are many other ministers who subscribe to this false doctrine, it has enlisted two of our outstanding generals to lead the charge; our brothers, Creflo Dollar and Joseph Prince. Over the years I have heard many truths, but in their teaching of the grace of God, they have indeed erred. Before this book was published, please know that I have made an effort to contact these brothers so that we might sit and reason together in the Word of God. However, sometimes fame and its trappings can alienate us from the less notable. Nevertheless, I am charged with bringing clarity and understanding to the Body. Therefore, with or without a meeting with my colleagues, the error must be addressed.
Take note of Paul’s assessment of the revolution of his day.
2 Timothy 2:15
Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
When you are approved by God, He will guide you in your study of His Word, helping you to rightly divide it. But when you enter into the study of God’s Word with your reading comprehension, you will eventually be made ashamed because there will always be other scriptures that serve as witnesses to the truth - challenging the lie.
2 Timothy 2:16
But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.
When a doctrine does not reflect the heart and mind of God, it is profane and vain babbling. Furthermore, it will promote ungodliness. But when a minister of Christ makes such statements as, “You can’t sin your salvation away, but you can renounce it”, such statements are designed to remove any and all accountability to live a righteous and holy life before God. But the sadder reality is that they believe that God is ok with His people sinning.
Here are a few quotes from these ministers, and the scriptures which refute their teachings. Brother Creflo said, "The sin meter was turned off, and the grace meter was turned on," which is a false statement concerning grace. This false statement is refuted by:
Hebrews 10:26-29
26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.
28 He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: 29 Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
Brother Creflo falsely states, "Committing sin does not make you unrighteous." This is a false doctrine which is clearly refuted by 1 John 3:7-8:
7 Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Brother Creflo falsely states, "As long as we are alive we are going to miss the mark somewhere because we are not perfect, and we won't achieve perfection until we see Jesus." This is a false doctrine that can be refuted by Matthew 5:48 -
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
2 Peter 1:10 - Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:
And…
Philippians 3:15, Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
Brother Joseph Prince falsely states, "People are sick today not because of sin, but because of condemnation. But this false doctrine is refuted by Romans 5:12 -
Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
and 1 Corinthians 11:28-30 -
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.
…their word will eat as doth a canker.
A canker is a fungal disease that causes fruit to rot. Paul uses this analogy to describe the effect false doctrines would have on the church.
I noticed that in each delivery of this Grace doctrine, they make it a point to say, we are not advocating a license to sin. This is an attempt to put lipstick on a pig.
Iniquity is defined in the scriptures as lawlessness, sin, a stumbling block, and that which stops the flow of love. Even the dictionary defines it as immoral behavior. It should be the heart and mind of God for everyone in the Body of Christ to depart from iniquity. We are not to walk as if we have no law to govern our behavior. The heart of God speaks on this wise, If ye love me, keep my commandments (John 14:15). God is not talking to the world. He is talking to the people of God; they are the ones who nameth the name of Christ.
Though they teach false doctrines that have poisoned the Body of Christ, I love my brothers and I have sincerely prayed for them to come to the knowledge of the truth. But one might wonder or ask, “How could such famous, dedicated preachers be as far off as I proclaim them to be?” The truth is, they know not the mystery of Christ; therefore, they are ignorant of the truth about salvation. They preach from the position of the flesh, therefore they end up with a provision for the flesh and its evil deeds. They do this in spite of a direct admonition from the Word of God;
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof (Romans 13:14).
2 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless, the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
The Word of God has been written and declared by His holy apostles to the church. The Word will not fall to the ground, nor return to the Father void of fruit. But those who hunger and thirst after righteousness shall be filled. They will hear the truth and depart from the Lie.
Now you have heard both sides of the discussion. I have not misrepresented my brothers in reporting their teachings, for I have used the words of their mouth to bring forth this rebuttal. Now you choose what you will follow after, this hyped-up “Revolution,” or the Grace Revelation.
