Dutch Sheets and the “Turnaround Gathering”
READING TIME: 38 MINUTES
The following are the notes to the discussion found at this link (https://www.facebook.com/tammy.cheetham.77/videos/356736481492733/) for anyone who would like to study the subject more in depth.
We want to discuss the event called the “Turnaround Gathering” which was held Feb. 22-24, and we want to discuss many of Dutch Sheet’s false beliefs.
For those who may never have heard of him, Dutch Sheets is the President and Co-founder of Dutch Sheets Ministries, a non-profit organization devoted to passionate prayer and world-changing revival. He has been in the ministry for 29 years and he is the Senior Pastor of Freedom Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
At Dutch Sheet’s Facebook page, and at Eventbrite.com, we read the following description of the Turnaround event: “Gather with Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Lou Engle and many other leaders, as we shift America into its turnaround next February 22-24, in Washington, D.C. This could prove to be one of the most historic prayer gatherings in America's history. Together we will fill the atmosphere over Washington D.C. with intercession and biblical decrees, shifting our nation into the breakthrough Father desires to give us. And we will re-launch the next phase of the worldwide prayer movement! We will see a shift!”
Followed by this quote: “Let it be said of our generation that when a nation teetered on the edge of destruction, having lost the ancient path of truth and righteousness, we answered the divine call to war for its restoration.” That is from Dutch Sheet’s book, “An Appeal To Heaven,” which I will mention again later. (Well, right away we see some major red flags. There is no mandate in God’s Word for new covenant Christians to restore nations. We are told to preach the gospel and make disciples. Then, we have the phrases, “filling the atmosphere, shifting our nation, and worldwide prayer movement.” These phrases are examples of the language used by dominionists).
And, for those who are unfamiliar with this teaching here is a short description: In Dominionism the gospel of salvation is achieved by setting up the “Kingdom of God” as a literal and physical kingdom to be “advanced” on Earth in the present age. Dominionists assign to the Church duties and rights that belong scripturally only to Jesus Christ. This includes the esoteric belief that believers can “incarnate” Christ and function as His body on Earth to establish His kingdom rule. An inordinate emphasis is placed on man’s efforts and the doctrine of the sovereignty of God is diminished. And, then, Dominion Theology promotes the Seven Mountain Mandate which says there are seven mountains, or spheres, in every society and individual Christians are to bring the Kingdom of God down into the sphere over which they have influence. These spheres are government, education, religion, business, media, arts and entertainment, and family. They say a new company of “kings and priests” is being activated in every sphere of culture to bring forth a testimony of the kingdom. However, the Word of God says this in Daniel 7:18 concerning believers and the Kingdom of God: "But the saints of the most High shall take the Kingdom, and possess the Kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." The time setting for this occurrence is after Christ's return according to verses 13 and 14 of Daniel 7 which say, “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given him Dominion, and Glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion, which shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” (So, we would warn people about anything connected to Dominion Theology because it distorts the Bible's Words concerning end time events, gives man authority now he does not possess, and gets people's focus off God's coming physical Kingdom and places it on the here and now).
Now I want to spend a bit of time sharing statements Dutch Sheets has made so the listeners can obtain a true understanding of his beliefs.
Back in 2001, Sarah Leslie was warning about Dutch Sheet’s explanation of Eph. 4. He had stated, "Ephesians 4 is literal, before the coming of the Lord Jesus. We will fully express Him in the earth. All things will be summed up in Him. They will come back under their proper headship. They will come back into order. The earth, the fullness of the earth, the eons, the times, the seasons, they are all marching toward an appointed end where they are literally summed up in Christ and I'll tell you what blows me away, He is doing it in us and through us." (Sarah Leslie, Discernment Newsletter, Issue #12 Volume #5, September/October 2001 as quoted at this website: http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/synergy.html) (But, we know we will only have true peace when Jesus Christ returns bodily and establishes His millennial kingdom. We also know that the antichrist will establish a false peace and I think it is quite concerning when anyone believes the establishment of real peace will be accomplished by man before Christ returns because I think these ones are absolute prey for the antichrist kingdom).
Here is a prophecy he gave back in 2002: "He is synergistically joining the government of heaven to the government of earth I will tell you God is going to move in politics you are going to see kings and leaders I am telling you right now you are going to see them bow the knee you are going to see them prostrate themselves before almighty God you are going to see them lead their nations righteously you are going to see nations come to God in a day you are going to see Holiness and a move of the spirit of God restored to the government of this land I decree it I believe it." (Dutch Sheets, National School Of The Prophets-Mobilizing The Prophetic Office, May 12, 2:30, 2002) (But, again we see an emphasis on the here and now and the Bible does not describe any of these things happening before Christ returns. We read that He will rule the nations with a rod of iron in Rev. 19 and then in scriptures such as 2 Tim. 2:12, Rev. 2:26-27, and Rev. 20:4 we see that the saints will also rule and reign with Him. Since Dutch Sheets is a false teacher; he falsely prophecies a great end times revival as we will see later in the discussion; he does not emphasize repentance and have a proper focus on Jesus Christ, is it possible he is correctly prophesying what is going to happen during the tribulation as nations give their allegiance to the antichrist? In 2 Cor. 11:13 we read, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.” False apostles are obviously influenced by Satan and we know it is no small thing for him to plant false prophecies in the minds of those who are already bent on twisting scripture. And, then, we notice his statement, “I decree it.” And, just to mention there were many decrees and declarations made at the Turnaround event – far too many to cover. We just want to say that this concept of decreeing and declaring is an absolutely false teaching from the Word of Faith movement. It stems from another one of their false teachings that we are little gods. You know, the phrase “Thy will be done,” from the Lord’s Prayer, which should be the heart of every true believer, is really all we need to dispel this silly notion of us decreeing or declaring anything out of our own pea brains).
And, then, he made the following statements at the “Gathering of Eagles” conference. I don’t know when this event occurred, but the video was uploaded to Youtube in Jan. 2012. He stated: “I’m not at all inclined, as some try to teach, that we’re going to take over everything and rule the earth completely for the Lord; that He has to wait for that in heaven before He returns. We’re not teaching that…but we’re supposed to try. That is our commission. I know there’s going to be sheep and goat nations when He returns. There’s no insinuation we’re going to take over everything. But, our assignment until He comes is to bring His kingdom rule into the earth so that our region looks like heaven again…Because when you get the sonship and really understand dominion and authority and stewarding the earth we not only bring healing to individuals we heal the planet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXHx4Klkycs) (But, as I just explained they have the timing for these occurrences way off. And, this shows a great deal of pride to even think man can make any part of earth look like heaven. There absolutely will be no healing of this planet until Christ returns).
To demonstrate more of his dominionist thinking, and how his focus is off, I want to read some of what he said at his conference entitled “Starting the Year off Right” held in 2008. “EVEN OUR GOSPEL HAS BEEN DEFICIENT. We are always told in scripture to preach the gospel of the what? Do you know we are not told to preach the Gospel of the cross? The word Gospel means what? Good News - The Gospel of the Kingdom- oh we are told to preach the good news of something. When we preach the Good News of the cross and leave it there - and that’s important - we have to preach the cross but the Good News goes beyond the cross. The cross is the entry point into the Kingdom. He didn’t say preach the Good News just of salvation but preach the Good News that I have come and reestablished the dominion of God in the earth and restored to you the dominion that you lost in Genesis. My Kingdom is now functioning in earth in a people. The cross is the entrance – The Kingdom is the realm. The cross gives us life - The Kingdom gives us something to live for. The cross is about redemption - the Kingdom is about restoration. I want you to think about that- we are not just to emphasize redemption- that gets us in but He’s about restoring everything that has been lost.
We are going to move from a mindset of saving souls and growing churches to producing disciples of the Kingdom. Kingdom disciples have eternity in their hearts and weapons in their hands. They are Kingdom thinkers- difference makers- culture shapers” (https://kimolsen.net/tag/dutch-sheets/).
Sister Tammy, I know you wanted to address his statements: I will share a little bit now about the “Kingdom”, a hallmark of the NAR, this was taken from an article I will share a little later that explains the errors of the NAR:
“Rather than preach the Gospel of the cross, Apostolic leaders are working to bring the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth. They do this by taking dominion of earthly kingdoms or “mountains” of government, media, entertainment, education, business, family, and religion. Leaders often talk of city building and organize prayer walks to pray against demonic strongholds. They often speak of being mission-focused rather than being Christ-centered.”
They do not see the complete Gospel, this is the problem, the dominionist camp do not believe the gospel of the cross is the complete Gospel. That Jesus dying for our sins is not the complete meaning why Jesus came, they believe we must have the kingdom as well and this completes the Gospel. As mentioned above these buzzwords are used to bring what they believe is heaven to earth before Jesus comes at the second coming after the world has been made how they feel God wants it. I must stress that only the Blood of Jesus can change a sinner’s heart and give eternal life and hope this world can never bring. Sin leads to death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The True Gospel is that Jesus died, was buried and He rose again. Please do not get caught up in this heretical teaching leading to a one world religion and order. He will return after the Tribulation period and this world will not get any better, only worse, before this time. Repent and believe Jesus paid the price for your sin because He is the only one who can. I pray you will know His peace that surpasses all understanding.
These trying to make everything better and just bring healing to the land etc. is not biblical, now I am not saying that God doesn’t bless people on this earth and that He doesn’t do things for individuals but this world as a whole is not getting any better, evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse, sin if rife and satan will come to this earth as the Antichrist and people will worship him, the mark of the beast will come and to try and fit all this into their beliefs! I mean some dominionists believe we are going to fight satan and destroy him and do everything to tear his kingdom down, but again, this is not biblical, actually the world will worship him sand people will buy and sell when the mark of the beast comes in mid-way through the Tribulation period and trying to skip over all these things thinking we will change the world system, well no, it will be a very difficult time like the world has never seen before, this is how the world will be and building up to whilst will get worse and worse. We are not to go into the world to change nations, but to go into the world and preach the Gospel, making disciples, that is our mandate. Sin is the problem and the heart of man needs changing and even believers will need to be changed and have a new body (at the Rapture of course), we just need to make sure we get things right for the right time.
It doesn’t matter what situations are in this life abased or abound, sick or well, rich or poor it does not really matter in the end, what matters is have you been born again? People need to repent of sin and trust Jesus. There were people on this earth looking for that City Whose Builder and Maker is God, the Bible says the world was not worthy of such. These had their eyes on a Heavenly City and not an earthly kingdom. Seek the Lord while He may be found. The Bible says Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done, like I stated before, we must have the right time.
Thank you so much for that, sister Tammy.
And, for another example of his twisting of scripture here are some of his statements from an article in 2015 entitled, “Dutch Sheets Reveals the Key to Governmental Authority.” He said, “In the disciples' culture, an ekklesia was an assembly of people assigned to govern the affairs of a city, state or nation—in essence, a parliament or congress. To the Romans, it was an assembly of people sent into a conquered region to govern, but also to alter the culture until it became like that of Rome. They infiltrated government, language, social structure, schools, etc. until the people talked, thought and acted like Romans. In other words, they brought the culture and ideals of the kingdom of Rome to their assigned region. When Jesus said He would build His "church,"—His ekklesia—He was speaking of a body of people that would legislate spiritually for Him, extending His Kingdom government and influence on the earth.” (I hope everyone caught how he made that jump from what existed in the Roman culture and his application of it to the church. Interestingly, he gave no statements from commentaries to back up his logic).
But, I checked at least half a dozen sources concerning the term ekklesia and they all basically said the same thing as I will now relate. The Greek term for “church” is ekklesia (found 114 times in the New Testament). In the New Testament context, the word is employed in four senses:
It represents the body of Christ worldwide, over which the Lord functions as head (Mt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22; 1 Tim. 3:15).
The expression can refer to God’s people in a given region (Acts 9:31).
Frequently, it depicted a local congregation of Christians (1 Cor. 1:2; Rev. 1:11).
It could also signify a group of the Lord’s people assembled for worship (1 Cor. 14:34-35). (https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/1500-what-is-the-meaning-of-ekklesia)
Continuing from the article: “We should attempt to function in this calling through prayer, by voting, and also by serving in governmental positions. I frequently hear statements from the media, political leaders, educators and others saying that religious beliefs should be kept "private" or that "they have no place in the public arena," and especially that they have no place in government. Nothing could be more unbiblical! The purpose behind this satanically-inspired dogma is to keep the church from being the church—the ekklesia. (https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/46703-dutch-sheets-reveals-the-key-to-governmental-authority) (Wow, Satan is really pulling a fast one there by inspiring a false teacher to say those against dominionism are satanically-inspired. I really want to know what Dutch Sheets thinks of Heb. 11:13 and 1 Pet. 2:11 that say we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth and 2 Tim. 2:4: “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier”).
Next, I just want to read a portion of an article entitled “Dutch Sheets: Intimate Friendship with God.” The article states: “For 2014, Dutch believes we have moved into the 3rd Great Awakening. He has been seeing signs and wonders on a regular basis. He has seen more signs and wonders (like people being healed of autism and cancer) in the last 10-15 months than he has in the last 10-20 years. Dutch says the prophets are saying that we will be seeing signs and wonders in America. There is a huge breakthrough. Signs and wonders are and will be happening with great regularity. This year is exciting for the Church and the Harvest” (http://www1.cbn.com/node/34325) (Concerning his statements about signs and wonders and the incessant chatter we hear about this from those in the NAR, I want to read a word of warning from Deut. 13:1-4: “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” And, I pray that people will keep these verses in mind because so many are chasing after signs and wonders and are being deceived).
Sister Tammy, would you share what you have prepared at this time concerning an article that appeared on Dutch Sheet’s website in July of 2017?
Please refer to the article to read in full. I would like to share with you some points from this that were very alarming to say the least.
A red flag in this is Dutch Sheets refers to appealing to heaven for a shift in America, this is not the biblical mandate of praying God’s will be done. The Bible does not tell us that there will be a shift in the nations and that evil will be overcome while Satan is still on this earth. He said to preach the Gospel that souls may repent and be saved for eternity and not to be making this world our home, physically or spiritually.
My staff and I have been seeking the Lord regarding what Holy Spirit would like to do with the message. And He has dropped some things into our hearts, and confirmed them with an interesting and enlightening dream given to us by a trusted friend and prophet.
“In the dream, I saw a large wind-driven ship sitting still in the ocean. Suddenly, a strong wind came and began filling the sails, starting a movement. As the sails filled, I could see that they were Appeal To Heaven flags. There were five of them. [Some of you will remember from my ATH message and book that in a dream God showed me five spiritual giants ruling America, which our prayers would overthrow.] When the sails were full I saw “2020” on the bottom of each flag, which I believe refers to the year 2020. As the ship sailed away, I saw the letters DSM on the back of it. [This, of course, referred to Dutch Sheets Ministries.]”
More red flags – Please can you give us Scriptures for this? I think not. The Bible does not say we are going to overthrow the Governments of this world! It says that Jesus will do this when He comes at the Second Coming :
Daniel 2:44 - And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
We know that evil men and seducers are going to wax worse in the last days, many false prophets will arise and there will be a falling away from the faith. Now I am not stating in this that souls will not come to repentance and be saved, yet I will add, the way is narrow and few there be that find it.
The idea of man overthrowing worldly governments really is doing nothing to accomplish salvation of lost souls in this time that need to be forgiven of sin so they can inherit the eternal Kingdom of God that is to come! We just have these trying to solve the world and its ills with bypassing the true Gospel. Again, we do not just ignore people’s needs, we do not rejoice in evil, yet at the same time knowing that it is the heart that needs to be changed and bringing down earthly kingdoms that God has allowed for a specific time is not biblical.
We have been called to be wise in this wicked world and be gentle as we share the good news. We will suffer persecution for the truth and many that claim to be saved believers will be a part of this because they have the wrong focus. Jesus came to save and seek the lost, to bring comfort and provide for the needs we have. He came to bring the gift of God, which is eternal life through Himself. He never came so we set up armies to defeat what He will do when He returns, He never said go into the world to change the world, He said go into the world and make disciples, this means people turning to Him and being saved so they receive Holy Spirit in their hearts to live in Him and with the hope of Himself to be with forevermore.
Dutch Sheets thinking that this great move has begun and will up to 2020 because this was given in a dream is just not biblical again. A great move to do what is not in the Bible! We must be sure to check everything out and not go with vain imaginations and dreams that do not line up with Scripture.
In May, Chuck prophesied that the next 10 months would be filled with turmoil for the nation and our president. (There is always things happening within the political system, the president seems to be receiving more accolades than turmoil and the nation of America really has not been in turmoil these past ten months, it has basically remained the same as the previous ten months!). However, after these months had passed, a turnaround would occur and we would move into three years of breakthrough. (Again where is this in the Bible, these believe in extra revelations being super apostles!) While listening to me speak and pondering this word, Cindy was led by Holy Spirit to count 10 months from the time Chuck gave the word; she realized it was February 22, 2018. Knowing the prophetic significance of the number 22, as it relates to government and the opening and closing of doors (Isaiah 22:22) (When has this verse related to man’s government? This is talking about Jesus and His government, this is what they say they are bringing in but again before Jesus returns they believe they will use the keys to overthrow, to open and close doors and doing what Jesus will do at His Second Coming.)
Dutch Sheets said that – Fifteen years ago, God unequivocally and undeniably gave him Isaiah 22:22 as a life-verse. He stated "The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut. And he shall shut, and no one shall open." After 40-plus confirmations over a two-week period—yes, more than 40—I became thoroughly convinced this verse was both a promise and a weapon for me. I have since used the verse hundreds of times throughout America—in all 50 states and in Washington, D.C.—to open and close spiritual doors for the Lord. After receiving the Isaiah 22:22 key for impacting the nation, much of my time was spent in the nation's capital, carrying out very specific and strategic prayer assignments. Heaven's endorsement on these missions was without question, with confirmation after confirmation being given to affirm the assignments. Oh, the stories I could tell from that season of my life—amazing! While this verse has never left my thinking or ministry, for several years after the 2008 change in our national leadership, the Lord redirected my attention toward other assignments in America. As a result, my time in Washington, D.C., decreased significantly. Within the past year, however, I have sensed the Lord asking me to wield the Isaiah 22:22 key in our nation's capital once again. Through my recent re-commissioning (which you may read about here), and other prophetic revelation, the Lord has confirmed to me that the door to the governmental arena—and to Washington, D.C., specifically—is again wide open. And where Holy Spirit leads, I will certainly follow.
Again, what is their overall agenda? Changing the government with no Gospel! How sad. Plus we know this is not going to happen. It is a strong delusion that has come over these power driven men and women. Using numerology and seeking to overthrow what God is allowing for a specific time period is not really them trusting in the Lord and growing in His grace and knowledge. They are fighting against God and think they are fighting for Him.
Isaiah 22:22 actually is speaking about Jesus Christ – The keys are symbolically showing His authority to open and close doors. We as believers are given authority in the sense that when we are converted then we spread the true Gospel to the entirety of the world. Then in this we have to right way of opening the door to salvation for the lost and closing to those that do not want it. An example of this can be seen in godly ministers telling the repentant sinner that through the power of God and Jesus Christ, their sins have been forgiven. Man cannot forgive sins, but God can. God knows all hearts so ultimate authority belongs to Him but as the Gospel is preached this will open and close doors to those willing to repent or not. We are His representatives on this earth and nothing more, we cannot use God’s authority to go against His Word as these are doing.
Lou Engle actually postponed a large Call event planned for that same date in Orlando, Florida. He will now be joining us in Washington for this gathering. Chuck Pierce will also be there. In fact, he and I have been on an assignment from the Lord to go to 22 cities in America, declaring and releasing the shift into this new season. And in God’s providence, this gathering on the 22nd, will also be our final—the 22nd!!—city of the tour.
Cindy, of course, will be there, as will other strong leaders from around the world. We will be riding the strength of 25 years of prayers for America, and WE WILL SHIFT THIS NATION!
Lou Engle stated this at Kairos 2017 - “I am running into Catholics who love Jesus a lot more than I do…we need another charismatic outpouring.” “I’m just glad to be here with my Catholic brothers and sisters. We live with this vision that God can unite the church.” Dutch Sheets attended this service. (https://www.facebook.com/UnitedInChrist8/videos/1438236296289506/)
Here we can see the ecumenical leanings Lou Engle has and we do not know all the leaders at the Turnaround Event, but we can be sure that these would welcome another religion with arms wide open to participate in what they see a praying to the one true God. Alarming bells should be ringing with this one fact when we understand the one world religion will include many that claim to know God but really have another. Some comments from this Facebook post also show just how ecumenical in nature this was – One person commented - “Finally! Everyone will see the Truth and the beauty of the Catholic Faith!! Praise God!! Nothing like the fullness of the One True Faith!”
Also, we see again the dependency using numbers and thinking these have a spiritual meaning to back up their false agenda.
The huge red flag of stating “WE WILL SHIFT THIS NATION!” I think after all I have shared here then this truly just speak for itself.
As I said before, the article is at the link we will share in the discussion notes, so you can read it all exactly how it was (http://dutchsheets.org/index.php/2017/07/31/an-appeal-to-heaven-national-conference-dc/).
Just as a side note concerning Lou Engle and the Call, I recently watched a video in which Lou Engle states, “In many ways the Call was born out of a dream I had with Benny Hinn.” Now, many of the listeners would be familiar with the problems with this man, but I just want to mention two false prophecies he made. The first one is that he said Fidel Castro would die in the 1990’s, but he didn’t die until 2016. The second one is he said God would destroy the homosexual community in America by the mid-1990’s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=155&v=5YJc4tcC86A).
I would just like to share with you now some of the errors behind the NAR – Seemingly as though these “leaders” are calling themselves these New Apostles for the last days. I want to show how apostate this is and many are involved in this really not understanding they are.
The New Apostolic Reformation or NAR is unbiblical and has been infiltrating the world and the church at such a rapid rate.
To understand some of the buzzwords and red flags within this heresy I would like to just share with you some things to look out for. Their teachings can be mixed with much truth and therefore we need to study God’s Word and use discernment He provides.
Your church may claim to not be a part of this movement but please do not use that as proof they are not, many are not suspecting they have gotten in heresy and really have been deceived.
The NAR is a network of leaders that are sharing a common vision and goal for what is called the visible church.
This includes, Supernatural Signs & Wonders; Dominionism; The Latter Rain Movement; Joel's Army; The 7 Mountain Mandate; Third Wave Revivalism; IHOP; Bill Johnson's Bethel Church, The Hillsong Media Empire, these are all a part of this shape-shifting movement in one way or another. It is sweeping into churches and deceiving millions who don’t even know they’ve become a part of an apostate, end-times falling away.
The Six Hallmarks of a NAR Church taken from an article exposing the NAR. (the Kingdom section was discussed already).
Here are those traits, beliefs, and some of the common lingo used by adherents:
1. “APOSTLES” - We’re in a “Second Apostolic Age.” There are new Apostles are on the earth today, anointed by the laying of hands to represent and speak for God here on Earth. These "Super Apostles" are equal to the original Apostles – the ones who witnessed Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and were appointed by Christ Himself to the office. Since these new apostles are commissioned by God, their authority may not be questioned.
2. “KINGDOM” - (was discussed earlier).
3. “DESTINY” “PRESENCE” “GLORY” - Though members are not always charismatic, they frequently emphasize a manifestation of “Glory” and “God’s presence,” and often have a special anointing to receive direct revelation from God, perform healings and other signs and wonders. They teach that our purpose is to achieve our dream destiny so that we can change the world.
4. “REVIVAL” - Revival on a massive scale is key in this movement. There is a strong emphasis on an “end times harvest” through a great awakening that we can usher in. Often these revivals are held in stadiums and reach millions around the world via live stream technology; they are marketed and produced like rock concerts. All scripture verses about an end times falling away are ignored, and get replaced with hyped-up claims about the Next Big Thing that's always just around the corner.
5. “UNITY” - Unity (at the expense of biblical doctrine) is almost always used as both the how and the why in this movement. Unity for the sake of bringing Heaven to Earth is leading to the blurring of doctrinal and denominational lines, often bringing together well-known leaders of charismatic, reformed, Word of Faith, seeker-emergent, progressive and Roman Catholics churches, all under one umbrella.
Finally, NAR churches almost always abandon a major tenant of Christian faith:
6. NAR DENIES THE SUFFICIENCY OF SCRIPTURE.
NAR adherents may believe in the inerrancy and authority of the Bible, but God’s breathed-out Word is just not enough for them. Jesus’ sacrificial death for our sins is not good enough; the promise of eternal life in Heaven is not good enough.
Thank you so much for all that information, sister Tammy. That was just excellent.
Now, I want to share from an article on Elijah’s list entitled, "It's Time for the Turnaround Over Our Nation!" Dutch Sheets wrote, “Concerning the Turnaround conference the following dream was sent to me a few days ago by a trusted prophet”:
Here is part of the dream: “I dreamed last night of the Turnaround gathering. In the meeting, there were hundreds of angels with tuning forks in their hands. The angels simultaneously struck their tuning forks. As the sound began permeating the people, they began to vibrate and spin. While doing so, they morphed into an Army of Special Forces. Illumination came from them and filled the room. Then a man pinned a badge on you that said: U.S. MARSHALL OF THE NEW SOUND. I woke up overwhelmed.”
Now, Dutch Sheets made several statements interpreting this dream, but I will just share a few of them:
* "Hundreds of angels with tuning forks" – angels will be there to assist us in hearing the sound of Heaven.
Sister Tammy, I know you watched a portion of the event during which Dutch Sheet’s brother, Tim talked about angels. Would you share about that, please?
I was actually on the live feed of this part where Tim Sheets spoke about commanding angels, I mean I got some not nice responses, but a few messages from people that genuinely wanted the truth.
I explain on the feed about commanding angels and how there is nowhere under the old or new covenant we see in Scripture man commanding God or angels to do anything, even using Jesus’ Name!
God did send His angels at time, but He does the bidding not man. We see on occasion where God sent His angels to Peter in prison (Acts 12:5-17), When Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt (Numbers 20:16) and Daniel in the lion’s den (Daniel 6:22).
Psalm 91:11 tell us God does the bidding – For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
The Blood of Jesus is sufficient.
Psalm 103:20 – Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His Word.
This is again not so believers can give the Word and command these to do what they want, and even to use these for such an unscriptural agenda is wrong anyway.
Thank you so much for that, sister Tammy.
* Another statement he made concerning this dream was: We will be building on and agreeing with the prayers and reforming actions of past generations (something I refer to in my book An Appeal to Heaven as "the synergy of the ages"). I want to discuss the title of this book for a minute before I talk about “the synergy of the ages. At his conferences Dutch Sheets often unfolds a copy of the Appeal to Heaven flag which was flown during the Revolutionary War. He says during this war the Founding Fathers acknowledged they couldn’t break away from Britain and become a free nation without God’s aid. So they put this flag over the battlefields, over the ships. He says, people don’t know it, but this nation was born under a prayer movement — Appeal to Heaven. And, of course, we prevailed by the grace of God.” (https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/february/dutch-sheets-says-turnarounds-coming-that-will-save-billions-of-souls) (Well, we would have to ask why would God orchestrate the founding of a pluralistic nation? One that allowed for the worship of all false gods? God has only established one nation and that is Israel. Now, Israel ended up worshiping many other false gods, but with the first amendment America allowed for the worship of false gods right from its start! You know, members of the true ekklesia are strangers and pilgrims on this earth and we are looking for a city whose Builder and Maker is God). And, then concerning the “synergy of the ages” since I had never heard anyone besides Dutch Sheets use the phrase, I looked up some more articles by him to see what he meant. I found an explanation in one of his blogs in which he said the Lord told him the ages are trying to connect. Now, Dutch Sheets was the Executive Director of Christ for the Nations Institute located near Dallas from 2012-2014. A man named Gordon Lindsay, one of the fathers of the healing movement of the 50’s and 60’s, was the founder of this institute. He established the school based on the supernatural, among other things. While leading prayer at Christ For The Nations Institute (CFNI), he felt there was a part of the DNA of this institute, and the purpose for which it existed, that was not being walked in. He began to pray that the school would experience a resurgence of signs, wonders and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And, then he said, “As I prayed, I heard the Lord say this to me, ‘I need you to agree in prayer with Gordon Lindsay.’ My first thought was: ‘I can’t do that, God. He’s been dead for 30 years. We are not supposed to talk to the dead.’ The Lord clearly answered me, ‘But his prayers are not dead; they’re alive in heaven. There are things he asked of Me, which I promised to give him. I cannot do so, however, until this present generation comes into agreement with his prayers. I need the synergy of the ages.’ (http://dutchsheets.org/index.php/2015/02/04/athblog3/) (Well, that is just bizarre, of course, but we can really see the Word of Faith influence right there with God wanting to do something, but supposedly He can’t unless man does something first).
* And, then, one more comment concerning the dream: "U.S. Marshall of the new sound" means we will function as Christ's Ekklesia, the representatives of His Kingdom government on earth; as such, we will expose the enemies of God, disrupt their plans, enforce Heaven's rule, and reform America. (Well, as we already heard, he does not use the word ekklesia properly, but his statements about exposing God’s enemies, and enforcing Heaven’s rule are quite scary. We should all be quite aware that those of the false church in the end times will persecute those of the true church, for such has happened down through the centuries, and true brethren will be made to appear as enemies of God. Well, there are many who follow something called “Christian reconstructionism” who believe in the death penalty for those who would commit certain sins such as adultery; they do not believe in grace as taught in the New Testament. Now, I am not saying he goes that far, but I think we should be very concerned by his use of the word “enforce.” And, there is much more in this article that we do not have time to discuss, but I will include the link for anyone who wants to read the rest of it) (http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=19694).
Now, we just want to spend a few minutes discussing some of what happened during the sessions which were held from Feb. 22-24 as I mentioned at the beginning. I realize we spent more time than usual on the background, and specifically on Dutch Sheet’s beliefs, but this was important so people could understand the roots of this event are wrong.
At the beginning of the evening session on the 22nd Dutch Sheets said, “We move into an entirely new season. It’s not just a turnaround for America. It is a birthing, a release of the awakening that God is about to release into all the earth. And, we’re here to birth that and we’re gonna get it done.” (Now, it seems, as we have mentioned before, that those in the NAR are trying to force an awakening or revival. They are tired of prophesying about it so they are trying to force it into existence).
Chuck Pierce said the following at one point: “I say to you tonight; I am creating a whirlpool…whirlpools and redoing of the land begins…there will be an acceleration of my moves among you…a government of kingdom will now begin to arise…to cause this land to shine again…Ken brought with him a tuning fork and we decree now that things be re-tuned. Father, we ask you to retune this nation…we invite the angelic host to come in and realign the sound of this land.”
One of the most unusual parts of this session was when a Native American woman came up and danced. Chuck Pierce said, “We want you to express how the land feels through the people that God put here first. And, we just want to enter in with the movement, not of when you first came, but how you’re still here. And, now he’s moving through you again. You’re leading us now and moving us in a way in God’s order that we’ve never seen before.”
The woman said, “We are going to continue to worship and pray because the Lord is going to bring a mighty breakthrough in his spirit tonight…he is causing old governmental structures to come bowing down even tonight and he is causing his governmental structures to arise in this land. And, then, as she danced a song about the former and the latter rain played. “We don’t want to miss the chance; everybody rain dance” was one line. It was said the native rain dances did two things: 1) drove away evil spirits 2) they brought the rain. (At one point during the dance Chuck Pierce was standing by the keyboard on stage and he actually made the devil hand sign. And, I know many people would say that’s just random, but that doesn’t happen accidentally. Speaking for myself, I have spoken to groups of people many times, and I tend to gesture a lot when I talk, and I have never randomly made this sign).
And, then Lou Engle said the following: “Seventy years ago in Canada a group of people were fasting and praying and the Latter Rain outpouring began. That was the same year Israel became a nation. It’s Joel 2. It’s fasting and prayer preceding an outpouring on the Gentiles; the restoration of the land of Israel. We’re in the 70 year period. We believe we’re in the days of the Latter Rain. It says pray for the rain in the time of the latter rain…we loose the Latter Rain on America in the name of Jesus.”
Then, towards the end of this session Chuck Pierce said, “I feel like this gathering represents a whole new call. It represents a new moment…He asked Mike and Cindy Jacobs, Lou and Teresa Engle, Dutch and Cici Sheets to come forward. These are three key generals that have been the voices to lead. We gathered the past prayer movement here so we could initiate the new move of God” (https://www.facebook.com/DutchSheets22/videos/1656579234404957/?hc_ref=ARS5FDNEJj-rUr9xcKcTtZOxLf2UXIeVkSQvIujtLEQ3pdyCK1RXDUzZIa3ysdn_oy8&fref=gs&dti=142521819791228&hc_location=group). (Well, Cindy Jacobs is a full-fledged dominionist even to the point of saying that every part of the Lord’s prayer is an element on how to reform and transform a nation” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VuDNWWeqzM); sister Tammy, you have mentioned the problems with Lou Engle; and, we have exposed many of the problems with Dutch Sheets in this discussion so I do not believe these three are generals leading a new move of God”).
Then, in another one of the sessions Dutch Sheets said, “We just say the Turnaround has begun for America…When Billy Graham lies in state this week in the Capitol we just dare to decree it is a sign that your spirit and your life and your anointing is now moving back into the Capitol…As his body lays there we just say like the bones of Elisha; your anointing is in that body still, your anointing is in his body, every cell, every hair, every bone; your anointing is there, penetrating that building.” (His reference to Billy Graham is obviously concerning due to Graham’s ecumenist and universalist beliefs. I will include the link to our discussion on him for anyone who may be interested) (https://www.facebook.com/tammy.cheetham.77/posts/257335194766196). (And, then, Sheet’s statements about God’s anointing penetrating the Capitol building are just plain creepy due to the following information: originally designed by William Thornton, the work on the Capitol was completed by Mason Benjamin Latrobe who also redesigned it after it burned during the War of 1812. The flanking wings and the great dome were added later by Mason Thomas Ustick Walter) (http://omnithought.org/masonic-symbolism-of-u-s-capitol/3735).
Another statement by Dutch Sheets during this session was: “I speak over the President of the United States and you will accomplish everything Almighty God sent you into that house to do, regardless of who likes it or who doesn’t. And, you will have a visitation from heaven. And, you will come into an intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ and be filled with Holy Spirit. And, we don’t care who likes it. And, every system that is opposed to that will be pushed out of the way, dismantled, fail, be exposed. Every selfish ambition, every spirit of pride, that is just there for the power, the prestige. That wants to turn this nation from our godly, Judeo-Christian roots, we say, you will fail. And, the cause of Christ will succeed.” (https://www.facebook.com/DutchSheets22/videos/1657900600939487/) (Now, do we hope the President will get saved? Of course. But, we want him to know the true Jesus of the Bible, not the one patriotic dominionists worship. We have already shown that Dutch Sheets follows another jesus; one who is powerlessly sitting and waiting for Sheets and the rest in the dominionist movement to bring heaven to earth by themselves before He can return; a jesus who would have Sheets emphasize the restoration of all things now rather than solely preach the gospel of salvation. So, we don’t want the president or anyone to come to know this false jesus. And, the cause of Christ will succeed, but it’s not the one Dutch Sheets preaches. You, know he even goes so far as to say that disease will be eradicated when America makes a turnaround due to the great awakening he believes is coming. And, we have heard a lot of talk from NAR leaders about stadiums being filled due to events featuring miracles, signs and wonders, so I just pray people will check the teaching coming from these leaders as we are warned to do in Deut. 13) (http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/february/dutch-sheets-says-turnarounds-coming-that-will-save-billions-of-souls).
Well, that is all I have for this time, sister Tammy. We know this discussion is longer than usual, but there was just so much information we needed to present.
READING TIME: 38 MINUTES
The following are the notes to the discussion found at this link (https://www.facebook.com/tammy.cheetham.77/videos/356736481492733/) for anyone who would like to study the subject more in depth.
We want to discuss the event called the “Turnaround Gathering” which was held Feb. 22-24, and we want to discuss many of Dutch Sheet’s false beliefs.
For those who may never have heard of him, Dutch Sheets is the President and Co-founder of Dutch Sheets Ministries, a non-profit organization devoted to passionate prayer and world-changing revival. He has been in the ministry for 29 years and he is the Senior Pastor of Freedom Church in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
At Dutch Sheet’s Facebook page, and at Eventbrite.com, we read the following description of the Turnaround event: “Gather with Dutch Sheets, Chuck Pierce, Cindy Jacobs, Lou Engle and many other leaders, as we shift America into its turnaround next February 22-24, in Washington, D.C. This could prove to be one of the most historic prayer gatherings in America's history. Together we will fill the atmosphere over Washington D.C. with intercession and biblical decrees, shifting our nation into the breakthrough Father desires to give us. And we will re-launch the next phase of the worldwide prayer movement! We will see a shift!”
Followed by this quote: “Let it be said of our generation that when a nation teetered on the edge of destruction, having lost the ancient path of truth and righteousness, we answered the divine call to war for its restoration.” That is from Dutch Sheet’s book, “An Appeal To Heaven,” which I will mention again later. (Well, right away we see some major red flags. There is no mandate in God’s Word for new covenant Christians to restore nations. We are told to preach the gospel and make disciples. Then, we have the phrases, “filling the atmosphere, shifting our nation, and worldwide prayer movement.” These phrases are examples of the language used by dominionists).
And, for those who are unfamiliar with this teaching here is a short description: In Dominionism the gospel of salvation is achieved by setting up the “Kingdom of God” as a literal and physical kingdom to be “advanced” on Earth in the present age. Dominionists assign to the Church duties and rights that belong scripturally only to Jesus Christ. This includes the esoteric belief that believers can “incarnate” Christ and function as His body on Earth to establish His kingdom rule. An inordinate emphasis is placed on man’s efforts and the doctrine of the sovereignty of God is diminished. And, then, Dominion Theology promotes the Seven Mountain Mandate which says there are seven mountains, or spheres, in every society and individual Christians are to bring the Kingdom of God down into the sphere over which they have influence. These spheres are government, education, religion, business, media, arts and entertainment, and family. They say a new company of “kings and priests” is being activated in every sphere of culture to bring forth a testimony of the kingdom. However, the Word of God says this in Daniel 7:18 concerning believers and the Kingdom of God: "But the saints of the most High shall take the Kingdom, and possess the Kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever." The time setting for this occurrence is after Christ's return according to verses 13 and 14 of Daniel 7 which say, “I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of Days, and they brought Him near before Him. And there was given him Dominion, and Glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve Him: His Dominion is an everlasting Dominion, which shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.” (So, we would warn people about anything connected to Dominion Theology because it distorts the Bible's Words concerning end time events, gives man authority now he does not possess, and gets people's focus off God's coming physical Kingdom and places it on the here and now).
Now I want to spend a bit of time sharing statements Dutch Sheets has made so the listeners can obtain a true understanding of his beliefs.
Back in 2001, Sarah Leslie was warning about Dutch Sheet’s explanation of Eph. 4. He had stated, "Ephesians 4 is literal, before the coming of the Lord Jesus. We will fully express Him in the earth. All things will be summed up in Him. They will come back under their proper headship. They will come back into order. The earth, the fullness of the earth, the eons, the times, the seasons, they are all marching toward an appointed end where they are literally summed up in Christ and I'll tell you what blows me away, He is doing it in us and through us." (Sarah Leslie, Discernment Newsletter, Issue #12 Volume #5, September/October 2001 as quoted at this website: http://www.deceptioninthechurch.com/synergy.html) (But, we know we will only have true peace when Jesus Christ returns bodily and establishes His millennial kingdom. We also know that the antichrist will establish a false peace and I think it is quite concerning when anyone believes the establishment of real peace will be accomplished by man before Christ returns because I think these ones are absolute prey for the antichrist kingdom).
Here is a prophecy he gave back in 2002: "He is synergistically joining the government of heaven to the government of earth I will tell you God is going to move in politics you are going to see kings and leaders I am telling you right now you are going to see them bow the knee you are going to see them prostrate themselves before almighty God you are going to see them lead their nations righteously you are going to see nations come to God in a day you are going to see Holiness and a move of the spirit of God restored to the government of this land I decree it I believe it." (Dutch Sheets, National School Of The Prophets-Mobilizing The Prophetic Office, May 12, 2:30, 2002) (But, again we see an emphasis on the here and now and the Bible does not describe any of these things happening before Christ returns. We read that He will rule the nations with a rod of iron in Rev. 19 and then in scriptures such as 2 Tim. 2:12, Rev. 2:26-27, and Rev. 20:4 we see that the saints will also rule and reign with Him. Since Dutch Sheets is a false teacher; he falsely prophecies a great end times revival as we will see later in the discussion; he does not emphasize repentance and have a proper focus on Jesus Christ, is it possible he is correctly prophesying what is going to happen during the tribulation as nations give their allegiance to the antichrist? In 2 Cor. 11:13 we read, “For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.” False apostles are obviously influenced by Satan and we know it is no small thing for him to plant false prophecies in the minds of those who are already bent on twisting scripture. And, then, we notice his statement, “I decree it.” And, just to mention there were many decrees and declarations made at the Turnaround event – far too many to cover. We just want to say that this concept of decreeing and declaring is an absolutely false teaching from the Word of Faith movement. It stems from another one of their false teachings that we are little gods. You know, the phrase “Thy will be done,” from the Lord’s Prayer, which should be the heart of every true believer, is really all we need to dispel this silly notion of us decreeing or declaring anything out of our own pea brains).
And, then, he made the following statements at the “Gathering of Eagles” conference. I don’t know when this event occurred, but the video was uploaded to Youtube in Jan. 2012. He stated: “I’m not at all inclined, as some try to teach, that we’re going to take over everything and rule the earth completely for the Lord; that He has to wait for that in heaven before He returns. We’re not teaching that…but we’re supposed to try. That is our commission. I know there’s going to be sheep and goat nations when He returns. There’s no insinuation we’re going to take over everything. But, our assignment until He comes is to bring His kingdom rule into the earth so that our region looks like heaven again…Because when you get the sonship and really understand dominion and authority and stewarding the earth we not only bring healing to individuals we heal the planet (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXHx4Klkycs) (But, as I just explained they have the timing for these occurrences way off. And, this shows a great deal of pride to even think man can make any part of earth look like heaven. There absolutely will be no healing of this planet until Christ returns).
To demonstrate more of his dominionist thinking, and how his focus is off, I want to read some of what he said at his conference entitled “Starting the Year off Right” held in 2008. “EVEN OUR GOSPEL HAS BEEN DEFICIENT. We are always told in scripture to preach the gospel of the what? Do you know we are not told to preach the Gospel of the cross? The word Gospel means what? Good News - The Gospel of the Kingdom- oh we are told to preach the good news of something. When we preach the Good News of the cross and leave it there - and that’s important - we have to preach the cross but the Good News goes beyond the cross. The cross is the entry point into the Kingdom. He didn’t say preach the Good News just of salvation but preach the Good News that I have come and reestablished the dominion of God in the earth and restored to you the dominion that you lost in Genesis. My Kingdom is now functioning in earth in a people. The cross is the entrance – The Kingdom is the realm. The cross gives us life - The Kingdom gives us something to live for. The cross is about redemption - the Kingdom is about restoration. I want you to think about that- we are not just to emphasize redemption- that gets us in but He’s about restoring everything that has been lost.
We are going to move from a mindset of saving souls and growing churches to producing disciples of the Kingdom. Kingdom disciples have eternity in their hearts and weapons in their hands. They are Kingdom thinkers- difference makers- culture shapers” (https://kimolsen.net/tag/dutch-sheets/).
Sister Tammy, I know you wanted to address his statements: I will share a little bit now about the “Kingdom”, a hallmark of the NAR, this was taken from an article I will share a little later that explains the errors of the NAR:
“Rather than preach the Gospel of the cross, Apostolic leaders are working to bring the Gospel of the Kingdom of Heaven to Earth. They do this by taking dominion of earthly kingdoms or “mountains” of government, media, entertainment, education, business, family, and religion. Leaders often talk of city building and organize prayer walks to pray against demonic strongholds. They often speak of being mission-focused rather than being Christ-centered.”
They do not see the complete Gospel, this is the problem, the dominionist camp do not believe the gospel of the cross is the complete Gospel. That Jesus dying for our sins is not the complete meaning why Jesus came, they believe we must have the kingdom as well and this completes the Gospel. As mentioned above these buzzwords are used to bring what they believe is heaven to earth before Jesus comes at the second coming after the world has been made how they feel God wants it. I must stress that only the Blood of Jesus can change a sinner’s heart and give eternal life and hope this world can never bring. Sin leads to death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The True Gospel is that Jesus died, was buried and He rose again. Please do not get caught up in this heretical teaching leading to a one world religion and order. He will return after the Tribulation period and this world will not get any better, only worse, before this time. Repent and believe Jesus paid the price for your sin because He is the only one who can. I pray you will know His peace that surpasses all understanding.
These trying to make everything better and just bring healing to the land etc. is not biblical, now I am not saying that God doesn’t bless people on this earth and that He doesn’t do things for individuals but this world as a whole is not getting any better, evil men and seducers are waxing worse and worse, sin if rife and satan will come to this earth as the Antichrist and people will worship him, the mark of the beast will come and to try and fit all this into their beliefs! I mean some dominionists believe we are going to fight satan and destroy him and do everything to tear his kingdom down, but again, this is not biblical, actually the world will worship him sand people will buy and sell when the mark of the beast comes in mid-way through the Tribulation period and trying to skip over all these things thinking we will change the world system, well no, it will be a very difficult time like the world has never seen before, this is how the world will be and building up to whilst will get worse and worse. We are not to go into the world to change nations, but to go into the world and preach the Gospel, making disciples, that is our mandate. Sin is the problem and the heart of man needs changing and even believers will need to be changed and have a new body (at the Rapture of course), we just need to make sure we get things right for the right time.
It doesn’t matter what situations are in this life abased or abound, sick or well, rich or poor it does not really matter in the end, what matters is have you been born again? People need to repent of sin and trust Jesus. There were people on this earth looking for that City Whose Builder and Maker is God, the Bible says the world was not worthy of such. These had their eyes on a Heavenly City and not an earthly kingdom. Seek the Lord while He may be found. The Bible says Thy Kingdom come and Thy will be done, like I stated before, we must have the right time.
Thank you so much for that, sister Tammy.
And, for another example of his twisting of scripture here are some of his statements from an article in 2015 entitled, “Dutch Sheets Reveals the Key to Governmental Authority.” He said, “In the disciples' culture, an ekklesia was an assembly of people assigned to govern the affairs of a city, state or nation—in essence, a parliament or congress. To the Romans, it was an assembly of people sent into a conquered region to govern, but also to alter the culture until it became like that of Rome. They infiltrated government, language, social structure, schools, etc. until the people talked, thought and acted like Romans. In other words, they brought the culture and ideals of the kingdom of Rome to their assigned region. When Jesus said He would build His "church,"—His ekklesia—He was speaking of a body of people that would legislate spiritually for Him, extending His Kingdom government and influence on the earth.” (I hope everyone caught how he made that jump from what existed in the Roman culture and his application of it to the church. Interestingly, he gave no statements from commentaries to back up his logic).
But, I checked at least half a dozen sources concerning the term ekklesia and they all basically said the same thing as I will now relate. The Greek term for “church” is ekklesia (found 114 times in the New Testament). In the New Testament context, the word is employed in four senses:
It represents the body of Christ worldwide, over which the Lord functions as head (Mt. 16:18; Eph. 1:22; 1 Tim. 3:15).
The expression can refer to God’s people in a given region (Acts 9:31).
Frequently, it depicted a local congregation of Christians (1 Cor. 1:2; Rev. 1:11).
It could also signify a group of the Lord’s people assembled for worship (1 Cor. 14:34-35). (https://www.christiancourier.com/articles/1500-what-is-the-meaning-of-ekklesia)
Continuing from the article: “We should attempt to function in this calling through prayer, by voting, and also by serving in governmental positions. I frequently hear statements from the media, political leaders, educators and others saying that religious beliefs should be kept "private" or that "they have no place in the public arena," and especially that they have no place in government. Nothing could be more unbiblical! The purpose behind this satanically-inspired dogma is to keep the church from being the church—the ekklesia. (https://www.charismanews.com/opinion/46703-dutch-sheets-reveals-the-key-to-governmental-authority) (Wow, Satan is really pulling a fast one there by inspiring a false teacher to say those against dominionism are satanically-inspired. I really want to know what Dutch Sheets thinks of Heb. 11:13 and 1 Pet. 2:11 that say we are strangers and pilgrims on this earth and 2 Tim. 2:4: “No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please Him who hath chosen him to be a soldier”).
Next, I just want to read a portion of an article entitled “Dutch Sheets: Intimate Friendship with God.” The article states: “For 2014, Dutch believes we have moved into the 3rd Great Awakening. He has been seeing signs and wonders on a regular basis. He has seen more signs and wonders (like people being healed of autism and cancer) in the last 10-15 months than he has in the last 10-20 years. Dutch says the prophets are saying that we will be seeing signs and wonders in America. There is a huge breakthrough. Signs and wonders are and will be happening with great regularity. This year is exciting for the Church and the Harvest” (http://www1.cbn.com/node/34325) (Concerning his statements about signs and wonders and the incessant chatter we hear about this from those in the NAR, I want to read a word of warning from Deut. 13:1-4: “If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them; Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul. Ye shall walk after the Lord your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.” And, I pray that people will keep these verses in mind because so many are chasing after signs and wonders and are being deceived).
Sister Tammy, would you share what you have prepared at this time concerning an article that appeared on Dutch Sheet’s website in July of 2017?
Please refer to the article to read in full. I would like to share with you some points from this that were very alarming to say the least.
A red flag in this is Dutch Sheets refers to appealing to heaven for a shift in America, this is not the biblical mandate of praying God’s will be done. The Bible does not tell us that there will be a shift in the nations and that evil will be overcome while Satan is still on this earth. He said to preach the Gospel that souls may repent and be saved for eternity and not to be making this world our home, physically or spiritually.
My staff and I have been seeking the Lord regarding what Holy Spirit would like to do with the message. And He has dropped some things into our hearts, and confirmed them with an interesting and enlightening dream given to us by a trusted friend and prophet.
“In the dream, I saw a large wind-driven ship sitting still in the ocean. Suddenly, a strong wind came and began filling the sails, starting a movement. As the sails filled, I could see that they were Appeal To Heaven flags. There were five of them. [Some of you will remember from my ATH message and book that in a dream God showed me five spiritual giants ruling America, which our prayers would overthrow.] When the sails were full I saw “2020” on the bottom of each flag, which I believe refers to the year 2020. As the ship sailed away, I saw the letters DSM on the back of it. [This, of course, referred to Dutch Sheets Ministries.]”
More red flags – Please can you give us Scriptures for this? I think not. The Bible does not say we are going to overthrow the Governments of this world! It says that Jesus will do this when He comes at the Second Coming :
Daniel 2:44 - And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
We know that evil men and seducers are going to wax worse in the last days, many false prophets will arise and there will be a falling away from the faith. Now I am not stating in this that souls will not come to repentance and be saved, yet I will add, the way is narrow and few there be that find it.
The idea of man overthrowing worldly governments really is doing nothing to accomplish salvation of lost souls in this time that need to be forgiven of sin so they can inherit the eternal Kingdom of God that is to come! We just have these trying to solve the world and its ills with bypassing the true Gospel. Again, we do not just ignore people’s needs, we do not rejoice in evil, yet at the same time knowing that it is the heart that needs to be changed and bringing down earthly kingdoms that God has allowed for a specific time is not biblical.
We have been called to be wise in this wicked world and be gentle as we share the good news. We will suffer persecution for the truth and many that claim to be saved believers will be a part of this because they have the wrong focus. Jesus came to save and seek the lost, to bring comfort and provide for the needs we have. He came to bring the gift of God, which is eternal life through Himself. He never came so we set up armies to defeat what He will do when He returns, He never said go into the world to change the world, He said go into the world and make disciples, this means people turning to Him and being saved so they receive Holy Spirit in their hearts to live in Him and with the hope of Himself to be with forevermore.
Dutch Sheets thinking that this great move has begun and will up to 2020 because this was given in a dream is just not biblical again. A great move to do what is not in the Bible! We must be sure to check everything out and not go with vain imaginations and dreams that do not line up with Scripture.
In May, Chuck prophesied that the next 10 months would be filled with turmoil for the nation and our president. (There is always things happening within the political system, the president seems to be receiving more accolades than turmoil and the nation of America really has not been in turmoil these past ten months, it has basically remained the same as the previous ten months!). However, after these months had passed, a turnaround would occur and we would move into three years of breakthrough. (Again where is this in the Bible, these believe in extra revelations being super apostles!) While listening to me speak and pondering this word, Cindy was led by Holy Spirit to count 10 months from the time Chuck gave the word; she realized it was February 22, 2018. Knowing the prophetic significance of the number 22, as it relates to government and the opening and closing of doors (Isaiah 22:22) (When has this verse related to man’s government? This is talking about Jesus and His government, this is what they say they are bringing in but again before Jesus returns they believe they will use the keys to overthrow, to open and close doors and doing what Jesus will do at His Second Coming.)
Dutch Sheets said that – Fifteen years ago, God unequivocally and undeniably gave him Isaiah 22:22 as a life-verse. He stated "The key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder. Then he shall open, and no one shall shut. And he shall shut, and no one shall open." After 40-plus confirmations over a two-week period—yes, more than 40—I became thoroughly convinced this verse was both a promise and a weapon for me. I have since used the verse hundreds of times throughout America—in all 50 states and in Washington, D.C.—to open and close spiritual doors for the Lord. After receiving the Isaiah 22:22 key for impacting the nation, much of my time was spent in the nation's capital, carrying out very specific and strategic prayer assignments. Heaven's endorsement on these missions was without question, with confirmation after confirmation being given to affirm the assignments. Oh, the stories I could tell from that season of my life—amazing! While this verse has never left my thinking or ministry, for several years after the 2008 change in our national leadership, the Lord redirected my attention toward other assignments in America. As a result, my time in Washington, D.C., decreased significantly. Within the past year, however, I have sensed the Lord asking me to wield the Isaiah 22:22 key in our nation's capital once again. Through my recent re-commissioning (which you may read about here), and other prophetic revelation, the Lord has confirmed to me that the door to the governmental arena—and to Washington, D.C., specifically—is again wide open. And where Holy Spirit leads, I will certainly follow.
Again, what is their overall agenda? Changing the government with no Gospel! How sad. Plus we know this is not going to happen. It is a strong delusion that has come over these power driven men and women. Using numerology and seeking to overthrow what God is allowing for a specific time period is not really them trusting in the Lord and growing in His grace and knowledge. They are fighting against God and think they are fighting for Him.
Isaiah 22:22 actually is speaking about Jesus Christ – The keys are symbolically showing His authority to open and close doors. We as believers are given authority in the sense that when we are converted then we spread the true Gospel to the entirety of the world. Then in this we have to right way of opening the door to salvation for the lost and closing to those that do not want it. An example of this can be seen in godly ministers telling the repentant sinner that through the power of God and Jesus Christ, their sins have been forgiven. Man cannot forgive sins, but God can. God knows all hearts so ultimate authority belongs to Him but as the Gospel is preached this will open and close doors to those willing to repent or not. We are His representatives on this earth and nothing more, we cannot use God’s authority to go against His Word as these are doing.
Lou Engle actually postponed a large Call event planned for that same date in Orlando, Florida. He will now be joining us in Washington for this gathering. Chuck Pierce will also be there. In fact, he and I have been on an assignment from the Lord to go to 22 cities in America, declaring and releasing the shift into this new season. And in God’s providence, this gathering on the 22nd, will also be our final—the 22nd!!—city of the tour.
Cindy, of course, will be there, as will other strong leaders from around the world. We will be riding the strength of 25 years of prayers for America, and WE WILL SHIFT THIS NATION!
Lou Engle stated this at Kairos 2017 - “I am running into Catholics who love Jesus a lot more than I do…we need another charismatic outpouring.” “I’m just glad to be here with my Catholic brothers and sisters. We live with this vision that God can unite the church.” Dutch Sheets attended this service. (https://www.facebook.com/UnitedInChrist8/videos/1438236296289506/)
Here we can see the ecumenical leanings Lou Engle has and we do not know all the leaders at the Turnaround Event, but we can be sure that these would welcome another religion with arms wide open to participate in what they see a praying to the one true God. Alarming bells should be ringing with this one fact when we understand the one world religion will include many that claim to know God but really have another. Some comments from this Facebook post also show just how ecumenical in nature this was – One person commented - “Finally! Everyone will see the Truth and the beauty of the Catholic Faith!! Praise God!! Nothing like the fullness of the One True Faith!”
Also, we see again the dependency using numbers and thinking these have a spiritual meaning to back up their false agenda.
The huge red flag of stating “WE WILL SHIFT THIS NATION!” I think after all I have shared here then this truly just speak for itself.
As I said before, the article is at the link we will share in the discussion notes, so you can read it all exactly how it was (http://dutchsheets.org/index.php/2017/07/31/an-appeal-to-heaven-national-conference-dc/).
Just as a side note concerning Lou Engle and the Call, I recently watched a video in which Lou Engle states, “In many ways the Call was born out of a dream I had with Benny Hinn.” Now, many of the listeners would be familiar with the problems with this man, but I just want to mention two false prophecies he made. The first one is that he said Fidel Castro would die in the 1990’s, but he didn’t die until 2016. The second one is he said God would destroy the homosexual community in America by the mid-1990’s (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=155&v=5YJc4tcC86A).
I would just like to share with you now some of the errors behind the NAR – Seemingly as though these “leaders” are calling themselves these New Apostles for the last days. I want to show how apostate this is and many are involved in this really not understanding they are.
The New Apostolic Reformation or NAR is unbiblical and has been infiltrating the world and the church at such a rapid rate.
To understand some of the buzzwords and red flags within this heresy I would like to just share with you some things to look out for. Their teachings can be mixed with much truth and therefore we need to study God’s Word and use discernment He provides.
Your church may claim to not be a part of this movement but please do not use that as proof they are not, many are not suspecting they have gotten in heresy and really have been deceived.
The NAR is a network of leaders that are sharing a common vision and goal for what is called the visible church.
This includes, Supernatural Signs & Wonders; Dominionism; The Latter Rain Movement; Joel's Army; The 7 Mountain Mandate; Third Wave Revivalism; IHOP; Bill Johnson's Bethel Church, The Hillsong Media Empire, these are all a part of this shape-shifting movement in one way or another. It is sweeping into churches and deceiving millions who don’t even know they’ve become a part of an apostate, end-times falling away.
The Six Hallmarks of a NAR Church taken from an article exposing the NAR. (the Kingdom section was discussed already).
Here are those traits, beliefs, and some of the common lingo used by adherents:
1. “APOSTLES” - We’re in a “Second Apostolic Age.” There are new Apostles are on the earth today, anointed by the laying of hands to represent and speak for God here on Earth. These "Super Apostles" are equal to the original Apostles – the ones who witnessed Jesus’ life, death and resurrection and were appointed by Christ Himself to the office. Since these new apostles are commissioned by God, their authority may not be questioned.
2. “KINGDOM” - (was discussed earlier).
3. “DESTINY” “PRESENCE” “GLORY” - Though members are not always charismatic, they frequently emphasize a manifestation of “Glory” and “God’s presence,” and often have a special anointing to receive direct revelation from God, perform healings and other signs and wonders. They teach that our purpose is to achieve our dream destiny so that we can change the world.
4. “REVIVAL” - Revival on a massive scale is key in this movement. There is a strong emphasis on an “end times harvest” through a great awakening that we can usher in. Often these revivals are held in stadiums and reach millions around the world via live stream technology; they are marketed and produced like rock concerts. All scripture verses about an end times falling away are ignored, and get replaced with hyped-up claims about the Next Big Thing that's always just around the corner.
5. “UNITY” - Unity (at the expense of biblical doctrine) is almost always used as both the how and the why in this movement. Unity for the sake of bringing Heaven to Earth is leading to the blurring of doctrinal and denominational lines, often bringing together well-known leaders of charismatic, reformed, Word of Faith, seeker-emergent, progressive and Roman Catholics churches, all under one umbrella.
Finally, NAR churches almost always abandon a major tenant of Christian faith:
6. NAR DENIES THE SUFFICIENCY OF SCRIPTURE.
NAR adherents may believe in the inerrancy and authority of the Bible, but God’s breathed-out Word is just not enough for them. Jesus’ sacrificial death for our sins is not good enough; the promise of eternal life in Heaven is not good enough.
Thank you so much for all that information, sister Tammy. That was just excellent.
Now, I want to share from an article on Elijah’s list entitled, "It's Time for the Turnaround Over Our Nation!" Dutch Sheets wrote, “Concerning the Turnaround conference the following dream was sent to me a few days ago by a trusted prophet”:
Here is part of the dream: “I dreamed last night of the Turnaround gathering. In the meeting, there were hundreds of angels with tuning forks in their hands. The angels simultaneously struck their tuning forks. As the sound began permeating the people, they began to vibrate and spin. While doing so, they morphed into an Army of Special Forces. Illumination came from them and filled the room. Then a man pinned a badge on you that said: U.S. MARSHALL OF THE NEW SOUND. I woke up overwhelmed.”
Now, Dutch Sheets made several statements interpreting this dream, but I will just share a few of them:
* "Hundreds of angels with tuning forks" – angels will be there to assist us in hearing the sound of Heaven.
Sister Tammy, I know you watched a portion of the event during which Dutch Sheet’s brother, Tim talked about angels. Would you share about that, please?
I was actually on the live feed of this part where Tim Sheets spoke about commanding angels, I mean I got some not nice responses, but a few messages from people that genuinely wanted the truth.
I explain on the feed about commanding angels and how there is nowhere under the old or new covenant we see in Scripture man commanding God or angels to do anything, even using Jesus’ Name!
God did send His angels at time, but He does the bidding not man. We see on occasion where God sent His angels to Peter in prison (Acts 12:5-17), When Moses led the children of Israel out of Egypt (Numbers 20:16) and Daniel in the lion’s den (Daniel 6:22).
Psalm 91:11 tell us God does the bidding – For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
The Blood of Jesus is sufficient.
Psalm 103:20 – Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His Word.
This is again not so believers can give the Word and command these to do what they want, and even to use these for such an unscriptural agenda is wrong anyway.
Thank you so much for that, sister Tammy.
* Another statement he made concerning this dream was: We will be building on and agreeing with the prayers and reforming actions of past generations (something I refer to in my book An Appeal to Heaven as "the synergy of the ages"). I want to discuss the title of this book for a minute before I talk about “the synergy of the ages. At his conferences Dutch Sheets often unfolds a copy of the Appeal to Heaven flag which was flown during the Revolutionary War. He says during this war the Founding Fathers acknowledged they couldn’t break away from Britain and become a free nation without God’s aid. So they put this flag over the battlefields, over the ships. He says, people don’t know it, but this nation was born under a prayer movement — Appeal to Heaven. And, of course, we prevailed by the grace of God.” (https://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/february/dutch-sheets-says-turnarounds-coming-that-will-save-billions-of-souls) (Well, we would have to ask why would God orchestrate the founding of a pluralistic nation? One that allowed for the worship of all false gods? God has only established one nation and that is Israel. Now, Israel ended up worshiping many other false gods, but with the first amendment America allowed for the worship of false gods right from its start! You know, members of the true ekklesia are strangers and pilgrims on this earth and we are looking for a city whose Builder and Maker is God). And, then concerning the “synergy of the ages” since I had never heard anyone besides Dutch Sheets use the phrase, I looked up some more articles by him to see what he meant. I found an explanation in one of his blogs in which he said the Lord told him the ages are trying to connect. Now, Dutch Sheets was the Executive Director of Christ for the Nations Institute located near Dallas from 2012-2014. A man named Gordon Lindsay, one of the fathers of the healing movement of the 50’s and 60’s, was the founder of this institute. He established the school based on the supernatural, among other things. While leading prayer at Christ For The Nations Institute (CFNI), he felt there was a part of the DNA of this institute, and the purpose for which it existed, that was not being walked in. He began to pray that the school would experience a resurgence of signs, wonders and the gifts of the Holy Spirit. And, then he said, “As I prayed, I heard the Lord say this to me, ‘I need you to agree in prayer with Gordon Lindsay.’ My first thought was: ‘I can’t do that, God. He’s been dead for 30 years. We are not supposed to talk to the dead.’ The Lord clearly answered me, ‘But his prayers are not dead; they’re alive in heaven. There are things he asked of Me, which I promised to give him. I cannot do so, however, until this present generation comes into agreement with his prayers. I need the synergy of the ages.’ (http://dutchsheets.org/index.php/2015/02/04/athblog3/) (Well, that is just bizarre, of course, but we can really see the Word of Faith influence right there with God wanting to do something, but supposedly He can’t unless man does something first).
* And, then, one more comment concerning the dream: "U.S. Marshall of the new sound" means we will function as Christ's Ekklesia, the representatives of His Kingdom government on earth; as such, we will expose the enemies of God, disrupt their plans, enforce Heaven's rule, and reform America. (Well, as we already heard, he does not use the word ekklesia properly, but his statements about exposing God’s enemies, and enforcing Heaven’s rule are quite scary. We should all be quite aware that those of the false church in the end times will persecute those of the true church, for such has happened down through the centuries, and true brethren will be made to appear as enemies of God. Well, there are many who follow something called “Christian reconstructionism” who believe in the death penalty for those who would commit certain sins such as adultery; they do not believe in grace as taught in the New Testament. Now, I am not saying he goes that far, but I think we should be very concerned by his use of the word “enforce.” And, there is much more in this article that we do not have time to discuss, but I will include the link for anyone who wants to read the rest of it) (http://www.elijahlist.com/words/display_word.html?ID=19694).
Now, we just want to spend a few minutes discussing some of what happened during the sessions which were held from Feb. 22-24 as I mentioned at the beginning. I realize we spent more time than usual on the background, and specifically on Dutch Sheet’s beliefs, but this was important so people could understand the roots of this event are wrong.
At the beginning of the evening session on the 22nd Dutch Sheets said, “We move into an entirely new season. It’s not just a turnaround for America. It is a birthing, a release of the awakening that God is about to release into all the earth. And, we’re here to birth that and we’re gonna get it done.” (Now, it seems, as we have mentioned before, that those in the NAR are trying to force an awakening or revival. They are tired of prophesying about it so they are trying to force it into existence).
Chuck Pierce said the following at one point: “I say to you tonight; I am creating a whirlpool…whirlpools and redoing of the land begins…there will be an acceleration of my moves among you…a government of kingdom will now begin to arise…to cause this land to shine again…Ken brought with him a tuning fork and we decree now that things be re-tuned. Father, we ask you to retune this nation…we invite the angelic host to come in and realign the sound of this land.”
One of the most unusual parts of this session was when a Native American woman came up and danced. Chuck Pierce said, “We want you to express how the land feels through the people that God put here first. And, we just want to enter in with the movement, not of when you first came, but how you’re still here. And, now he’s moving through you again. You’re leading us now and moving us in a way in God’s order that we’ve never seen before.”
The woman said, “We are going to continue to worship and pray because the Lord is going to bring a mighty breakthrough in his spirit tonight…he is causing old governmental structures to come bowing down even tonight and he is causing his governmental structures to arise in this land. And, then, as she danced a song about the former and the latter rain played. “We don’t want to miss the chance; everybody rain dance” was one line. It was said the native rain dances did two things: 1) drove away evil spirits 2) they brought the rain. (At one point during the dance Chuck Pierce was standing by the keyboard on stage and he actually made the devil hand sign. And, I know many people would say that’s just random, but that doesn’t happen accidentally. Speaking for myself, I have spoken to groups of people many times, and I tend to gesture a lot when I talk, and I have never randomly made this sign).
And, then Lou Engle said the following: “Seventy years ago in Canada a group of people were fasting and praying and the Latter Rain outpouring began. That was the same year Israel became a nation. It’s Joel 2. It’s fasting and prayer preceding an outpouring on the Gentiles; the restoration of the land of Israel. We’re in the 70 year period. We believe we’re in the days of the Latter Rain. It says pray for the rain in the time of the latter rain…we loose the Latter Rain on America in the name of Jesus.”
Then, towards the end of this session Chuck Pierce said, “I feel like this gathering represents a whole new call. It represents a new moment…He asked Mike and Cindy Jacobs, Lou and Teresa Engle, Dutch and Cici Sheets to come forward. These are three key generals that have been the voices to lead. We gathered the past prayer movement here so we could initiate the new move of God” (https://www.facebook.com/DutchSheets22/videos/1656579234404957/?hc_ref=ARS5FDNEJj-rUr9xcKcTtZOxLf2UXIeVkSQvIujtLEQ3pdyCK1RXDUzZIa3ysdn_oy8&fref=gs&dti=142521819791228&hc_location=group). (Well, Cindy Jacobs is a full-fledged dominionist even to the point of saying that every part of the Lord’s prayer is an element on how to reform and transform a nation” (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6VuDNWWeqzM); sister Tammy, you have mentioned the problems with Lou Engle; and, we have exposed many of the problems with Dutch Sheets in this discussion so I do not believe these three are generals leading a new move of God”).
Then, in another one of the sessions Dutch Sheets said, “We just say the Turnaround has begun for America…When Billy Graham lies in state this week in the Capitol we just dare to decree it is a sign that your spirit and your life and your anointing is now moving back into the Capitol…As his body lays there we just say like the bones of Elisha; your anointing is in that body still, your anointing is in his body, every cell, every hair, every bone; your anointing is there, penetrating that building.” (His reference to Billy Graham is obviously concerning due to Graham’s ecumenist and universalist beliefs. I will include the link to our discussion on him for anyone who may be interested) (https://www.facebook.com/tammy.cheetham.77/posts/257335194766196). (And, then, Sheet’s statements about God’s anointing penetrating the Capitol building are just plain creepy due to the following information: originally designed by William Thornton, the work on the Capitol was completed by Mason Benjamin Latrobe who also redesigned it after it burned during the War of 1812. The flanking wings and the great dome were added later by Mason Thomas Ustick Walter) (http://omnithought.org/masonic-symbolism-of-u-s-capitol/3735).
Another statement by Dutch Sheets during this session was: “I speak over the President of the United States and you will accomplish everything Almighty God sent you into that house to do, regardless of who likes it or who doesn’t. And, you will have a visitation from heaven. And, you will come into an intimate knowledge of Jesus Christ and be filled with Holy Spirit. And, we don’t care who likes it. And, every system that is opposed to that will be pushed out of the way, dismantled, fail, be exposed. Every selfish ambition, every spirit of pride, that is just there for the power, the prestige. That wants to turn this nation from our godly, Judeo-Christian roots, we say, you will fail. And, the cause of Christ will succeed.” (https://www.facebook.com/DutchSheets22/videos/1657900600939487/) (Now, do we hope the President will get saved? Of course. But, we want him to know the true Jesus of the Bible, not the one patriotic dominionists worship. We have already shown that Dutch Sheets follows another jesus; one who is powerlessly sitting and waiting for Sheets and the rest in the dominionist movement to bring heaven to earth by themselves before He can return; a jesus who would have Sheets emphasize the restoration of all things now rather than solely preach the gospel of salvation. So, we don’t want the president or anyone to come to know this false jesus. And, the cause of Christ will succeed, but it’s not the one Dutch Sheets preaches. You, know he even goes so far as to say that disease will be eradicated when America makes a turnaround due to the great awakening he believes is coming. And, we have heard a lot of talk from NAR leaders about stadiums being filled due to events featuring miracles, signs and wonders, so I just pray people will check the teaching coming from these leaders as we are warned to do in Deut. 13) (http://www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2018/february/dutch-sheets-says-turnarounds-coming-that-will-save-billions-of-souls).
Well, that is all I have for this time, sister Tammy. We know this discussion is longer than usual, but there was just so much information we needed to present.
