Response to Mr. Grady

Bob Neumann, 11/2007

Dear Charisma On Line and Mr. J. Lee Grady,

This weekend someone sent me Mr. Grady’s Article concerning the Grassely letters and the upcoming Senate Investigation. What may be the most amazing thing is that I read it. In any given week I am forwarded 3-400 posts other people think I should be aware of. Now it seems THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT is giving me a gentle push to respond. So I have two choices. To take my time and respond in a calm and intelligent manner…or I can evade these gentle stirrings and wait till THE LAMB WHO TREADS THE WINEPRESS jerks my chain. At that point the response will be definitively more caustic.

Mr. Grady in your article you have two blurbs that are highlighted. The first precedes the actual article. “Six charismatic ministries are under the microscope as a U.S. Senate committee scrutinizes their spending practices. Is this from the devil – or God?”

If I used only scripture to respond to you I could go to the RED LETTERS and mention Mat 21:13, Mark 11:17, Luke 19:46. But seeing that they are recording the same event let me add Isaiah 56:17. So to answer the actual question, “Is this from THE DEVIL…or from GOD my personal response is from THE DEVIL…because THE GOD of ABRAHAM, ISAAC, and JACOB would have sent a lot more than 6 LETTERS…please read Amos 9:1-5.

Which leads me to that second blurb…. “The Christian public should have demanded a higher level of accountability a long time ago.” Now I have to laugh there. While the statement is correct is one thing, the fact that it needs to be made is another. Better yet, why after the fact.

The TRUTH is that the concept of ACCOUNTABILITY was actually negated by THE NICOLAOTINS long ago. ALL of these and so many other “ministries” claim following the gospel of one who said…to one man…

Mar 10:21

²¹ Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me

Plainly This same JESUS had an issue with those who plotted and schemed to build up their earthly treasures. All the ministries that Senator Grassely is visiting have been preaching their own gospels for years. Why should anyone try now to muzzle their OX? Is that one of their answers whenever actually questioned? There is a great level of difference between allowing the threshing OX to nibble a little grain and building a “golden calf”.

The real problem though is the utter lack of DISCERNMENT in this thing you call THE CHURCH. Now I do not expect 90% of mainline denominations to claim that they are hearing GOD and moving in THE GIFTS OF THE MOST HOLY SPIRIT, but those who claim the “CHARISMATA”…THE ANOINTING SHOULD. But they do not and we both know it.

So I ask myself why am I being so nicely lead to post to you Mr. Grady and CHARISMA on Line? Maybe to show you that there is someone out there who read your article and actually HEARS that STILL SWEET VOICE.

And then to say to you that all of the GRASSELY investigation is a “smoke screen”. An active deception to keep people’s focus away from what is happening. Senator Grassely is not THE LITTLE HORN…and that WAR is about to begin…
