Oprah’s New Purpose

If you get email, then I bet that you have recieved at least 3 emails from somebody about Oprah’s new church.  I didn’t think much about it until I got 5 emails in one day, then I decided to look into it & see what all the hoopla was.  I don’t watch Oprah anymore, so I didn’t know what the big deal was.  I thought maybe she had given a lot of money to something…it wasn’t me, I knew that.

I stopped watching her several years ago when I noticed a tone in her shows that didn’t set well with my spirit.  I couldn’t really put my finger on it, but I just knew that I didn’t agree with her “philosophy on life”.  She would talk about reading the Bible or about believing in God, but it wasn’t the Bible I read or the God that I believed in.  I noticed that she began to make the Bible and God fit into her lifestyle.  She made it say what she wanted it to say, not what it really said.  She seemed to be all about doing what made her feel good.

Here is a video that has circulated quite a bit through emails, so you may have already seen it.  Turn the music down in the sidebar before you click the video.

 

 

 

This is what is sad to me.  This woman has so much influence among the women (and some men) of America; not just women, but Christian women!  These women who have watched her show fatihfully for years have gradually become caught up into her way of thinking.  I watched some of ther “class” that is beign done each Monday night through her website.  She and Tolle are going through his book, “A New Earth” as a discipleship class.  They open it up for “skype” callers.  I watched as two mom called in and said that they had grown up in christian families but were confused by some things.  Her response to them was, you have been deceived, you need to follow your heart and you will find your peace.  That is not a direct quote, but a summarization of a really long show.  These moms read the book, and recognized things that didn’t set right within them and instead of saying, “This is not what the Bible says.” they instead said, “Oprah, what do you think I should think?”

She quoted Tolle from his book saying, “Man made God in his own image.”  What?  You have got to be kidding, so is Genesis just a fable?  I know that there are some cult religions who think so, but she says that she is a Christian.  Only God can know if she is, but I’m leaning towards NO.  She has already said several times that she believes that there are many ways to get to Heaven.  “Jesus can’t be the only way.”she says.

Tolle says that God is really our consciousness, not a person. He thinks that there is no death, he islife, he can’t lose his life, because that is who he is.  What???  So Oprah explains by says that God is a feeling experience, not a believing experience.  Can we pray for her now???  She is so dismayed & deceived & now she is decieving millions of others.

Here is a video on a book that i have not read, but I would like to get it called, “Don’t drink the Kool-Aid”  Watch it here & see what you think.

 

Here is a really good radio broad cast from saveus.org.  Scroll down the page to the March 4th broadcast called, “The Emerging Consciousness”.  Charles Crisimier has some very real truths concerning what all of this could mean.

 

Scripture tells us to guard our heart, to be aware of false prophets and most importantly than any other; to love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul and strength.  If you are walking closely with your Lord and Savior, then you should be able to identify falsehood when it stands before you.  Put on the Armor of God daily, because the devil is at work among us.  But we are also reminded that even though the enemy comes to try and destroy us, Christ has come and we will have victory over the enemy.
