Undocumented anecdotal stories aside, this is not what those Ezekiel passages are about. They are about the restoration of exilic Israel. The church today are not captives in Babylon - they are Babylon! So, the notion that God would "tell" him to misuse His own word is ludicrous. Mind you this story he claims occurred three years earlier. Well if this was such an enormous breakthrough for the church where is the fruit today? If there were so many signs, wonders and miracles - where are they today? This is the core nature of Grifter Christianity. You create "events" and claim mighty moves of God occurred at them. You claim they are a harbinger for the elusive revival you keep selling. Yet nothing ever substantially changes in the lives of the people involved. There is no staying power. No lasting change. Just enough liver shivers to make the people attend the next event and feel the same nonsensical and unbiblical garbage they keep lapping up. Oh, and don't forget to buy your copy of the "Shift" book on your way out! Where is the residual change from Toronto in the 1990s? What is left in Pensacola? How is Lakeland Florida doing these days? The change God offers us is not fleeting. It is not goose bumps followed by a return to the old normal. I had a friend once go down to the altar for a "healing touch" from an itinerant preacher/prophetess. He was dancing across the altar after receiving his "laying of hands" for his chronic hip pain. The next week however, long after the prophetess moved onto her next church to fleece, he was still limping around the church. I asked him what happened to his healing and he sadly reported the pain came back when the adrenaline wore off. That is all the NAR dominionist apostate church can offer. Fleeting moments of adrenaline before returning to your old condition because you did not have an encounter with the living God. You just had a meeting with a huckster selling you snake oil disguised as revival. Don't fall for it.
That is the shift taking place. A hunger for God that we have not seen in years. A desperation for Him to move and free us from corruption and the evil permeating the globe creating laws to further legalize the killing of babies, as well as homosexuality and perversion. The prophets were correct; a shift was coming ...In fact, it is here." - Charisma News
Picking out two sins, no matter how abhorrent and pretending they encapsulate all sins in this world is an exercise in missing the point. All men sin and have fallen short - regardless of which political party they belong to. The evil permeating the globe is mankind in his fallen state. It includes Americans and non-Americans. It includes men and women. Young and old. Republicans and Democrats. There is only one solution for this and that is found in Christ Jesus through the preaching of the Gospel. It is not found in political tent meetings designed to foist faux revival upon this or any other nation. We can make no demands upon Almighty God - none! The only shifting Mario Murillo is behind is shifting people away from Jesus and towards his political agenda. Mark and avoid beloved. Mark and avoid.
