The Sons of Thunder Ministries – John Crowder’s Mystical School, is coming to St. Cloud, MN in January and is laden with false teaching, mysticism, lies and deception.
After reading from John Crowders website – www.thenewmystics.com – I discovered all these Gnostic, new age teachings, that are Antinomian in content, and express forms of witchcraft, posing as Christian ministers using unbiblical forms of teaching claimed being from early Christianity or Eastern Orthodoxy:
Deeper courses in contemplative, supernatural Christianity Operate in Trances, Raptures & Ecstatic Prayer
Experience Physical Phenomena of Mysticism
Get Activated in Creative Miracles, Signs & Wonders
Understand & Access New Creation Realities
Gain A Historical Grid of Miracle Workers & Mystics
Be Activated in the Seer Realm, Prophecy, Spirit Travel
Receive Open Heavens & Revelatory Understanding
Access and Manifest the Glory Realm
As I read through this all on his website all I can say is where is Jesus Christ in all of this? Where is the truth of the Gospel in this? When I read about “deeper”, “creative” “signs and wonders”, “new creation realities”, etc., I am reminded of Lucifer; He wanted to be greater than God, and to exercise authority over God. He wanted to be greater than the Almighty, CREATOR, LORD of all. Who did Satan think he was? He was banished from the presence of God and cast into the earth as the prince of the powers of the air. Then Satan tempted Eve, and fed her a lie that “you can really be “like” god” John Crowder is saying the same things. These are deceiving teachings! Satan has and will continue to comes as an angel of light, “appearing” to be the “next thing” thing we need.
Beware of this false teacher. There are demons at work in this man, and I would not get any closer than a ten foot pole from him. He is deceiving many, just as Scripture states, he preaches and teaches “another gospel.” It is NOT the Gospel of the Apostles.
This is a warning. Read the Word of God. Most of what is mentioned above are considered abominations to God, and incurred God’s wrath, these kinds of “ministers” and what they “perform” are specifically written of in the OT. The New Testament makes mention of these false teachers and prophets also, and some of them are smitten by God because of their behavior.
Therefore, as one who has been charged to contend for the faith once for all delivered unto the saints, it is with a heavy heart that i must warn everyone I can about this non-Christian heretic posing as a minister of the Gospel – John Crowder’s is not the Gospel, it is a false gospel with a little “g”.
