First look at one of the newer scam artists in the fake demon slayer space...

::::::::

So Jesus again said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. - John 10:7-10 (ESV)

We have covered briefly some of the new breed of demonology You Tube false teachers that are taking root, especially with the youth in churches today. Greg Locke was a forerunner, although he has seemingly moved on now to a more mainstream ministry endorsed by Charisma News. He is of course still a horrific dominionist and NAR hireling but his overt focus on the false demon deliverance nonsense has seemingly abated. I know I have covered people like Alexander Pagani at least once as well, but one name the slipped my radar I was recently asked about and that is someone named Jenny Weaver. Jenny has an interesting backstory in that she was formerly arrested, homeless and claims to have been bound in witchcraft. She has since however parlayed the demonology niche into a full-blown ministry grift. One of the first things these hucksters do is they set up some recurring way of billing people, so as to set up a steady income from the grift and then they expand out from there. She is under the tutelage of Ryan Lestrange, which should be all you need to know to be able to discern how false she is. This is similar to someone like Jennifer LeClaire, who is "covered" by James Goll. That means she pays Goll a recurring fee for being able to use his name to lend her credibility. In Weaver's case, she feeds off of whatever credibility Lestrange has.

The core grift for Jenny Weaver is ironically enough called "the core." This appears as a reasonably priced mechanism for generating a base revenue for the grifter. For $20 per month, each core member gets full access to whatever material, podcasts, teachings, prayer and other nonsense, that Jenny produces. She sells this as her personally mentoring you. This may seem small time until you see that they now boast 13,000 core members. If true, that is an established $260,000 per month that Jenny has set up for herself, which may explain how the Internet has her net worth at about a million dollars so far. From this, Weaver can launch other money-grubbing initiatives, similar possibly to what LeClaire has done. So far, we see Weaver has her own school of ministry coming. Can't wait to see the charges for that. I say this as the background to the above video from Weaver regarding her desire to pray against "mind controlling spirits" and "Octopus Spirits." Perhaps this is her homage to the masterclass grifter LeClaire and her silly "sneaky squid spirit" from a few years back. I am not going to respond line by line because I am hopeful that something this egregiously stupid is really low hanging fruit. There are no octopus demons beloved. Realize the core teaching, see what I did there, of demonology is so antithetical to scripture. A person cannot have the indwelt Holy Spirit and a demon. Let us reason together once more.

At the five-minute mark Weaver is setting her foundation of the notion that Christians are suffering from "mind controlling" demons whose mission is to steal, kill and destroy. Let me start with the correction I always must make when false teachers misuse John 10:10, which I have included with context as the key verses today. Even well intended solid teachers constantly misuse this scripture. The thief discussed here is NOT the devil. It is not some lurking demon in our mind. With all delicious irony, it is false teachers. Jesus enters the sheep pen through the door and when He speaks, His sheep know His voice. All others are thieves and robbers, and the true sheep will not listen to them for they are teaching falsely. If we enter faith through Christ, we are saved and will find pasture. If we enter through the false teacher, we will be robbed of eternal life. That is how we end up saying "Lord Lord" on the Day of Judgment. Jenny's premise here is laughable but transparent. She is selling something unbiblical by playing to a feeling probably every Christian has. We all struggle to do what we know God wants. The reason why of course is baked into our sin nature. The flesh wants what the flesh wants. There is a reason why we are to walk out our salvation with fear and trembling. Jenny seizes on this common occurrence in the lives of every believer and blames the reason for defying God on external factors - mind controlling demons. This feeds the victim mentality that demonology must sell. Our sin and shortcomings are not our fault! We are just victims of these mind controlling octopi demons. That is why people want to buy the garbage she is selling. She literally says these demons will cause you to not want to obey God. How absurd. She actually says that even though the spirit inside us wants to obey, these demons are somehow stronger? Realize that is what she is selling. That the Holy Spirit inside of you is simply not strong enough to fight off the octopi demon that is sharing the space inside of you. How pathetically ridiculous and how weak is Jenny saying God is? Remember, the Holy Spirit IS God!

Continuing on, Jenny claims mind control is the number one weapon the enemy uses. Once again, ridiculous. The enemy appeals to vanity, hatred, and all of the things inside of us that are not of God. He sells us on the same sin he committed, which was to be God. He tries to get us to doubt His word, and thus doubt God Himself. None of this is mind control and none of this is accomplished by indwelt demons overpowering the Holy Spirit. Jenny goes on to teach that these demons will lead us into sin and rebellion, once again, consigning us to the role of helpless victim, when we are actually the perpetrator. Let us take for example someone living in an adulterous relationship, cheating on his spouse. Are these choices we make? Do we not choose to call the person, reserve the hotel room, and continue the affair even though we know we should not? Even though we know God hates it? Well, if you pay the $20 per month to Jenny Weaver, you buy your exoneration. Now it is not you doing these things but some nebulous marine spirit that has their tentacles wrapped around your will, causing your rebellion. Right. Try explaining that to your wife and her divorce attorney.

At the 6:30 mark, she says that paranoia and suspicion is not "discernment" but are rather two more by products of being controlled by these made-up demons. She goes on to claim that these demons can cause physical sickness and rottenness of the bones, whatever that is supposed to be. Apparently, they can also cause heart problems, asthma and allergies. All this time you thought you were allergic to peanuts but maybe you have an octopus wrapped around your medulla, who knew? I tell you that I am allergic to bovine excrement, and I am starting to feel pretty symptomatic right about now because she starts to threaten anyone who might disagree with her nonsense to "boot them in the mighty name of Jesus" from the live stream. Wait a minute, I thought they were under the manipulation of a mind controlling demon? Why isn't that the explanation for their disagreement and "trolling" as Jenny put it? So, adulterous relationships must be an aquatic demon but dare to disagree with Jenny and that must be something that deserves removal from the group. Right, gotchya.

At the 9:30 mark Jenny is beginning to be annoyed that so many people in the chat are asking what she claims are "unrelated" questions. So, she commands all distraction to be gone and commands all of their minds to be sound. Wait a minute, Jenny. Are you suggesting now that you can command the demons that are controlling their minds and causing all of these distractions? That is pretty powerful but if that is so, why go through all of this elaborate hocus pocus? Just command everyone to be in a sound mind and let's break for lunch! What it reveals beloved is the incredible inconsistencies false teachers must operate under. As we approach the 10-minute mark, Jenny targets a favorite fake spirit for false teachers and that is the religious spirit, which she defines as keeping the Holy Spirit from flowing. This is a "core" teaching of the NAR and Charismaniacs alike. To them, they do not like being constrained by scripture, because the bible reveals how false they are. So, they invent a fake spirit that somehow is again powerful enough to stop the Holy Spirit, which is God mind you, from "flowing."

Next up, Jenny dismisses addictions as being the tool of the octopus trying to control you. Beloved, this is a very dangerous teaching to remove the responsibility for choices away from us. There is not some mystical force out there working on controlling our mind to prevent us from obeying God. I have spent my professional life working with people struggling with addictions and have seen it play out in real life. The addicted are constantly looking for another entity to blame for their own choices. Freedom is not found in a You Tube ministry pretending that it is all the fault of some invisible demon. At 12:45, Jenny declares that this is a real thing, which is why she doesn't play with demons, which is why she is not allowing anyone to act out in the chat. Uh-huh. Usually if someone has to swear what they are saying is a real thing, chances are it is not and again, I love the messaging that disagreement with her must mean demonic activity. How convenient. Then she lets loose with this nugget:

"If you are dealing with demons of bitterness, anger, hatred, they keep your mind bound to unforgiveness because if they can keep you in unforgiveness, they have the right to stay. They want to squat. They want to live in you. You are their home." - Jenny Weaver

Note the scam here. Bitterness, anger, and hatred are all common emotions of sinful man. Somehow, she ties them all to unforgiveness, which does not even make logical sense and then declares that you have essentially given these demons permission to squat inside of you and stay. She is teaching that believers indwelt with the Holy Spirit can also have demons living inside of them. Do not get me wrong. The enemy will certainly use our hatred, anger and bitterness but we own the emotions. We own the decisions. We are not victims beloved and do not let Jenny Weaver or any other charlatan disempower you from your own life. She actually teaches here that if an unclean thought randomly pops into your head, that you need to be delivered! Dear Lord! By this standard we all have demons inside of us! The bible says to take every thought captive and make them obedient to Christ, not be delivered from them by some snake oil saleswoman. Here is the next absurdity:

"I feel led to say this now - you're not crazy. I break that word curse off of you in the name of Jesus." - Jenney Weaver

I guess if you are selling the usual cadre of Charismaniacal false teachings, you may as well through everything in the bag against the wall. Word curses, right. I guess Jesus' death on the cross was not enough. Instead, He has apparently empowered Jenny Weaver to simply speak into existence your deliverance from curses that have rendered you mentally unstable. Beloved this is very dangerous again. As she begins her prayer, Weaver says it must start with repentance. She urges everyone who has been disobedient to God to repent. Now, repentance is always a good message, but this reveals how false her entire teaching has been. Remember, she is selling the notion that people who find themselves disobeying God are actually victims of mind controlling spirits and various demon mollusks. So, why would they need to repent? How could they repent, which means to turn from the sin and disobedience? If they are demon possessed, how can they possibly repent and turn from what controls them without being "delivered?" She seriously says, "before we cast that stuff out of you, you must come out of that sin." Huh? That does not make any sense. If we can truly turn from the sin and disobedience than our mind is not being controlled. There is no demonic influence. Conversely, if we are in need of having demons cast out of us, then we cannot repent and turn from what we are being controlled to do. This reveals the utter stupidity of her teaching. She says we should let the Holy Spirit come in and clean out all of the critters that have come in. Just consider the sheer lunacy of that belief. Where was the Holy Spirit that He has to "come in." Do we have some kind of waiting room inside of us, where we park the spirit of God when we are submitting to octopi demons? Is not the Holy Spirit indwelt from the point of salvation? By the way, if so, why do we need Jenny Weaver or any other false demon seller to deliver us from what the Holy Spirit can easily "clean out?" The more she "teaches" the more she proves how false she truly is.

She does say that people's lives are on the line and to that, I firmly agree. They are on the line because this new huckster is trying to steal, kill and destroy, as the key verse teaches. At this point she launches into a long-winded nonsensical prayer designed to sound pious but achieve nothing. Beloved I understand that sometimes the new shiny thing appears attractive to us. This wave of demon deliverance You Tube ministries is very dangerous. They sell unbiblical ideas combined with a victim mentality that will further sin in your life. Look, the spirit realm is real. Demons are not made up and are not as we have seen them portrayed in Hollywood. The strategies of the enemy have not changed over the millennia because they work. If the devil could truly control the mind of a believer, then there would be no believers. What instead the devil does, is to try and get you to doubt God's word. To go outside of His word. To trust things that are experientially based instead of scripturally based. Instead of relying on the indwelt Holy Spirit to trust in hucksters and charlatans selling you snake oil for just $20 per month. Unless this is actually marketed at the unsaved lost people sitting in pews across the apostate church today. You see, they do not have the indwelt Holy Spirit in them. They may very well be fighting demons as we see throughout the gospel accounts. The problem is Jenny Weaver cannot deliver them either. She comes from a long line of prayer cloths and fake anointing oils. She is a grifter like her benefactor Ryan Lestrange and her apparent hero, Jennifer LeClaire. You who insist that she is somehow selling something of value? You are her grift. You only have two choices. The first is to go to a real church and hear the real gospel, so that you might really be saved. Then you will realize with the indwelt Holy Spirit that you do not need Jenny Weaver. The second, is if you are truly saved, to repent of your unbelief in the power of God and realize that you do not need Jenny Weaver. This is not some esoteric or gnostic formula. We do not want to be standing before Christ saying, Lord Lord, did we not drive out many demons in Your name only to discover that He never knew us the entire time. If you wait until that day to realize you do not need Jenny Weaver, it will be too late. The bible is very clear what to do with her either way. Mark and avoid beloved. Mark and avoid.
