A disabled man sharing gospel tracts in India. "Gospel tracts are suited for those who have little strength or ability, yet still long to do something for Christ. They may not have the voice of the preacher but they have the hand of the faithful. They cannot stand and proclaim the Word, but they can scatter these silent messengers that speak long after they’re gone." - Charles Spurgeon

This video was recorded during my time as an English service pastor in a charismatic church. What you are seeing is not speculation or secondhand stories. This is something I witnessed with my own eyes, lived through, and carried the weight of for years. My senior pastor (the old guy in the suit) had just returned from a Kenneth Copeland conference. He came back convinced that he had encountered a “new move of the Spirit” and he was determined to bring it into our church. What followed still grieves me when I think about it. To make this so called move believable, he arranged for a couple to act drunk in the Spirit. They staggered, laughed uncontrollably, and collapsed on the floor as if overtaken by some supernatural force. This was not spontaneous. It was planned. They were the demonstration. They were meant to convince the congregation that something powerful was happening. Then the pressure began. As the pastor began pointing at people across the hall, one by one they fell. Not because the Spirit overwhelmed them, but because fear did. No one wanted to be the person left standing. No one wanted to be accused of resisting the Spirit or lacking faith. So people gave in. They fell. They laughed. They played the part that was expected of them. It was emotional manipulation dressed up in spiritual language. It was peer pressure baptized and sold as power. The Spirit of God does not rob a man of self control. He does not create confusion. He does not produce chaos. Scripture is clear that God is not the author of disorder, but of peace. Yet we were being trained to celebrate disorder and call it divine. These manifestations were not holiness. They were not repentance. They were not transformation. They were performances created to keep people compliant and silent. When I began to question these practices, I was made to feel ashamed for even daring to speak. The senior pastor staged a dramatic scene, claiming that my questioning had cut his connection with the Holy Spirit and that he would die without it, insisting he could not survive if I remained in his presence. That moment ended with me being physically thrown out by his bodyguards. My voice was silenced through his political influence, and everything I had recorded the evidence of manipulation, planning, and what went on behind closed doors was erased by church staff. They made sure no trace was left behind. But by the providence of God, this one clip survived. It remains as a witness to what many are still trapped in today. Not revival. Not power. But deception that preys on sincere people who truly want God and are instead given a counterfeit. This is why I speak. This is why I warn. And this is why I will not stay silent.

"This is true spirituality. Spirituality...means that Christ is the Lord of all your life and not just your religious life. And if you make a dichotomy in these things, you are denying your Lord His proper place. And I don't care how many butterflies you have in your stomach, you are poor spiritually." - Francis Schaeffer in 1982

I came across this clip that has made me think deeply. If a man leading a “Christian nation” by Christian morals still says he doesn’t know if he’ll go to heaven, what does that say about the state of the church around him? Has no one told him the gospel? Not politics, not patriotism - the gospel. Christ said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father except through Me” (John 14:6). How can there be so many “believers” near power, yet no one bold enough to speak the only truth that saves? This is what happens when your spiritual advisor is, Paula White... a self-appointed prophetess who preaches another gospel and leads millions astray.

Every year in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, men swing a chicken over their heads and believe they are watching their sins fly away. It is painful to watch because it proves how deep the blindness still runs. It shows what happens when people cling to shadows long after the substance has appeared. And it forces us to say what Scripture has already said with terrible clarity. No ritual can save. No animal can carry away guilt. No performance can wash a conscience. No tradition can stand before a holy God. The law itself condemned every drop of blood that was offered upon that altar because it shouted that something greater was coming. Hebrews 10 says that the sacrifices under Moses were a yearly reminder of sin but never its cure. It is impossible for the blood of bulls and goats to take away sins. That is not my verdict. That is God’s verdict. And if the blood of animals could not cleanse Israel when the temple stood in glory, how can the blood of a chicken cleanse anyone today. The only sacrifice God ever accepted is the one He provided. When Jesus lifted the cup and said this is the new covenant in my blood in Luke 22 He declared that the entire system of shadows had reached its end. Hebrews 9 says without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness, but it also says that Christ entered once for all with His own blood and obtained eternal redemption. Not temporary. Not repeated. Final. When He died, the veil of the temple tore from top to bottom. God Himself ripped open the curtain that separated sinners from His presence and announced in one violent act that the old covenant had served its purpose. No more priests standing daily. No more sacrifices reminding you how guilty you are. No more altars waiting for fresh blood. The Lamb of God has come. The true temple has appeared. John 2 says His body is the real temple. The place where God meets man is no longer a building of stone but the crucified and risen Christ. This is why we must preach the truth to those still trapped in rituals. Not out of arrogance, but out of love. Because a man can stand before God with a hundred ceremonies and still die in his sin. But a sinner who comes to Christ with empty hands will be washed clean. First John 1 says the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Revelation 1 says He loved us and freed us from our sins by His blood. Exodus 12 says when I see the blood I will pass over you. God still sees only one blood. Only one sacrifice. Only one Saviour. And if we remain silent while people chase shadows, we become part of their deception. The apostles did not watch Israel return to the old rituals and stay quiet. They preached with urgency because they knew that no temple can save now. The real temple has already been destroyed and raised again on the third day. There is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved. So when you see a chicken swung over a head or sins symbolically transferred in the streets, do not mock them. Mourn for them. Pray for them. Speak the truth to them. Because the Judge before whom they must stand will not ask how sincerely they followed their tradition. He will ask whether they are covered by the blood of His Son. Without that blood there is no hope. With that blood there is no condemnation. Everything hangs on Christ. Always has. Always will.
