Camp “Mystic”: A Horrific Spiritual Irony

A Spiritual Flood of Disastrous Delusion!

When I saw a painful and overwhelmingly shocking clip on brother Ron Cantor’s FB page about the heroic efforts to save a drowning woman, I couldn't help but praise God for her rescue. At the same time, our hearts are torn over all the young Christians’ lives, that were lost at the Christian Camp ironically named “Mystic” from this flood. Many other lives were lost and an entire community affected by this torrential devastating flash flood. Our heartfelt prayers go out to them all in the aftermath.

I can't help but see this as a horrifying prophetic picture of what is happening in the Body of Christ concerning the flood of false teachings and doctrines of demons that has inundated the ekklesia of God. So many Christians, especially the young and spiritually immature, are being “swept away” just like the Apostle Paul warned in Ephesians 4: 14-16. Every wind of doctrine by the clever cunning of men in their deceitful scheming and ravenous wolves have crept in to deceive the very elect if it were possible.

The deception sweeping across the church is not just limited to Pentecostal/ Charismatic churches as our cessasionist brothers and sisters repeatedly point out. The Deception has swept through the Catholic Church, mainline denominations of every kind and non-denominational churches too. We are in the last days. The floods, earthquakes, famines, wars, rumors of wars and anti-christs popping up everywhere only confirm Jesus' Words in Matthew 24. These are just the beginning of birth pangs.

What are we to do? These rescuers in Texas risked life and limb to save one of many drowning women and others, trapped in trees, trying to swim against rushing waters, submerged in vehicles, and busloads of children dodging raging currents on frequented roadways.

My brothers and sister, please hear me: many of God’s people need rescued from false doctrine, false teachers, false prophets, false Messiahs and false pastors (hirelings). However, they have to recognize they are drowning in deception before they are willing to let go of their man-made rafts of another gospel, another Jesus and another spirit before they will reach out and cling to Christ’s everlasting lifeline of truth.

How can this kind of rescue mission be accomplished and who can be saved? God has been trumpeting His warnings through prophetic voices exposing the sin and corruption lurking behind the leaven of false teaching while they pump out and pimp the people of God for false promises, trinkets and make-believe miracles. Only those who are submerged and begin to feel the threat of death seem to be the ones crying out for help. We can only pray that many more eyes will be opened to the hypocrisy, heresy and double standard false teachers are propagating. It’s not just us Charismatic Pentecostals. Hypocrisy knows no creed, no color or no denomination. It’s the wicked leaven Jesus warned His disciples about centuries ago. Such hypocrisy will only reap an end time harvest of destruction for those who worship man rather than sanctify their hearts before a Holy God.

So many watched the waters rise and go by their city streets. No doubt, they felt the affects and realized the threat was very real for them. You can’t be an innocent bystander in the face of dangerous floods. You have to prepare. You have to be on guard. You have to escape and go to higher ground. To remain where you are in the face of a flood will result in some damage at the very least and at the very worst, death – to your soul.

What about the great flood of delusion sweeping the pulpits of our country? Does anyone preach the cross, discipleship, the price of denying self and living for Jesus 100% in these mega ministries? Does anybody talk about third world countries where limbs and heads are severed if you don’t denounce the name of Christ? Do they not talk about the price preachers in other nations pay to preach an uncompromised gospel while they sit in chains eating moldy bread and drinking their own urine? Meanwhile, the families left behind, sit in waiting to hear whether or not papa will ever come home again?

In America you’re not considered successful unless you fly around in a jet, have a six figure income and have at least 2,000 “followers.” Shame on us. Despite the flood of delusion sweeping America, Christians continue to buy their books, listen to their sermons, attend their conferences, leap to their music, flock to their camp meetings when all the while God is crying out, “Danger, danger…deception is mixed in. Avoid ALTOGETHER the leaven of these hypocrites!” But no…we are much too tolerant and don’t want to “throw the baby out with the bathwater.”

Who is the baby? The Bride of Christ is not meant to be a baby but she sits in the polluted water of false teachers and prophets and not getting clean. Get the baby out of the bathwater and wash her with pure water and cleanse her with hyssop! The ones creating the flood of delusion sit in their comfortable padded seats on pulpit stages and stand on scaffolded platforms they have erected in the name of revival yet scoff and mock prophetic voices sounding the alarm. They label them as being "the accuser" of the brethren while the prophets call “ball and foul” against error and heresy, hard heartedness and defiance against the whole counsel of God. These false prophets are inwardly ravenous wolves hating the very ones they fleece for money and comfort. They won't dare leave the 99 to go after the “one” to rescue him or her. They are too “enamored” with being a “crowd pleaser” relishing the applause of men cheering about every false prophecy and incantation they utter in the streets, on pulpits and in the airwaves.

This is NOT the heart of a shepherd. This is the heart of a hireling, a false prophet, a false teacher, a master manipulator and fleecier of the flock. These are the ones who will stand before Christ and hear him say, "Depart from me, I never knew you, you workers of iniquity," after they pompously proclaim..."But Lord, didn't we "prophesy" in your name? Didn't we cast out demons in your name and perform many miracles?"

It is those who not only "hear" His word but act on them that build their house on the rock. The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat that house; yet it did not fall because its foundation was on the rock.

Saints of God, it’s time to “come out from among them” and be separate unto the Lord. If you have to do like I did, throw all your books away except the Bible, shut yourself in with God in prayer and cry out to return to your first love. Repent of your idolatry-man worship and exalting their teachings above the Master’s Word echoed in the pages from Genesis to Revelation. We need a revival and it won’t happen in Times Square. It will happen in each individual heart that has ears to hear what the Spirit is saying in this hour.

"But everyone who hears these words of Mine and does not act on them is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain fell, the torrents raged, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its collapse!”" Matthew 7: 21-26

“For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found: surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.” Psalm 32:6 (KJV):
