For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to naught things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.
But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption: That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
1 Corinthians 1:26-31
Brothers and sisters, I write to you today concerning the modern prayer movement. Many reading this may not understand, and many of those that do may not agree. Nevertheless, I am moved to write what I have seen and felt.
The prayer movement as it is popularly expressed is sadly off track. I do not say this lightly, or flippantly, nor is my intention to condemn it. But, it has, nevertheless, succumbed to many of the same errors it originated in, or, perhaps, never left.
These errors are not those indicated by popular ‘heresy-hunters’, ready to criticize anything other than their little circle. These issues strike at the root of the philosophy, leadership, and ambition of these men.
These are not recent errors, nor am I rash in my disclosure of them. I have been aware of the movement for some 15 years, lived nearby for a year, attended numerous functions over the years, and been in association with many who still love and follow it. These are issues that I have worked through in this time, have come to an understanding and knowledge of, and have seen evidence of, either in realms of discernment, or even incidental admissions of their own mouth.
