This has just been a sampling of the hun-
dreds of similar quotes found throughout the
God Calling and Jesus Calling books. BNES’
36-page “Training Manual for Mediums?—
Quotations from the God Calling Books
and the Jesus Calling Series”(which has over
800 quotes), documents the instances of the
following words and terms found in those
books, showing that they are repeated over
and over and over again: Spend Time Alone
| Sit in Silence | Sit Still | Open Your Hands
| Breathe in Spirit | Repeat “Jesus” | Quiet
Your Mind | Focus | Open Yourself | Invite |
Feel the Presence | Absorb | Visualize “Jesus” |
Listen | Think God Thoughts | Write If You
Receive a Message | Transition | Channel
Throughout the Day.
BNES explains: “Sitting alone in a quiet
place is a helpful way to pray or study the Bi-
ble. Taking a break and relaxing is sometimes good for the human body. Yet these practices
[in God Calling and the Jesus Calling books]
are not taught in Scripture. They are taught
instead by psychics as techniques for achieving
a trance state for contacting spirit guides.” 4

As the Holy Spirit controls your mind.

Be channels both of you. My Spirit shall
flow through. (GC Jan 03)
Just be channels. (GC Jul 22)
My followers must be channels. (GE May 23)
Be a channel of My Love, Joy, and
Peace by listening to Me. (JC Oct 31)
[A] living channel absorbs some of
whatever flows through it. (JC Oct 16)
I enable you . . . to be a channel
through whom I comfort others. (JC

I am training you . . . to be a channel
of My loving Presence. (JC Mar 31)
witnessed martyrs who would not
bend on doctrinal issues concerning
salvation, today, we are witnessing a
paradigm shift from an emphasis on
biblical doctrine to the experiential
and the mystical. The consensus is
becoming that it’s not so important
what we believe anymore but what
we do—namely that we need to
experience God and get along with
everyone. And this is where the
Catholic Church comes in as it
promotes oneness (a unifying of all
religious traditions under the umbrella
of the Catholic Church) and a vast
array of religious practices stemming
back to the Church fathers to satisfy
the draw to the experiential. 6
With the new eRosary app, it is the am-
bition of Pope Francis and the Vatican that
many young straying Catholics will begin
praying the rosary and thus, pledge their
allegiance to Rome. And with Christian
leaders like Beth Moore and Rick War-
ren (who are followed by millions) doing
their part to show the evangelical church

linking arms with Rome, 7 maybe the eRo-
sary will be attractive to evangelical young
people as well. That is not as far fetched
as it may sound to some. Catholic priest
and mystic activist, Richard Rohr, said in
an interview called “The Cosmic Christ”
that one of his publishers told him his
biggest audience was young evangelical
men! 8 With that in mind, the eRosary may
far exceed the Catholic Church’s expecta-
tions in creating their “unity” and “peace”
throughout the world.
Only time will tell how well-received
the eRosary will be; but, no doubt, it is
another step toward a future described in
the Bible as a time of great apostasy and
“falling away.”
It is so sad to see that today Protes-
tants and evangelicals will go so far as to
compromise the Gospel itself, while our
forebears were willing to give up their lives
for its soul-saving truth.
Satan’s final effort is to deceive the
whole world for the purpose of bringing
vast destruction to the world and his own
harvest of souls. Those who overcome will
