Just worse and worse! I can’t believe anyone could follow a loser like this!
So, if you feel tempted, just pretend you aren’t. If you sin, just deny it. Because hey, you were made perfect on your day of justification, way back when, so it is just the enemy lying to you???
. . . .
Just one last note, Christ Consciousness comes DIRECTLY out of the New Age Movement. I was involved in it in the 1970’s, and when preachers adopt these terms, either they are ignorant of the baggage and what it means in the New Age movement, or they are tapping into the forces of Hindu evil. The New Age Movement is basically out of Hinduism/Buddhism. Everyone is trying to escape the wheel of karma, and to attain Christ Consciousness, so they will go to be with Brahma, dissolve into the eternal ocean or whatever.
I wonder if in fact, Joseph Prince is a former Buddhist who is using these terms and Jesus as a way off the wheel of karma? At any rate, this is pure new age lies, AGAIN.

From the Prince devotional:
My friend, when you fall into sin, God wants you to be Christ-conscious. This means that when you have missed it, God wants you to be conscious that in Christ, you have forgiveness of sins through His blood. God wants you to be conscious that Christ was wounded and bruised for your sins, and that the chastisement for your peace was upon Him. (Isaiah 53:5)
Hmmm . . . that sounds NOTHING like New Age, nor does it sound like Buddhism. Prince defines what he means clearly - that when you sin, "God wants you to be conscious that in Christ, you have forgiveness of sins through His blood."
Prince isn't preaching New Age, and he was never a Buddhist. Prince is doing what he does - point people to Christ, Christ's Work, and who we are in Christ. He builds up and edifies the believer, equipping them about who GOD says they are in Christ so that they CAN overcome sin in their lives.
Angela, I haven't been here in a long time (we moved our large family 900 miles - I'll be unpacking boxes for a year, ha), but the contrast of how you used to post and how you post now . . . it makes me sad. Where I used to see a heart for God and a love for people . . . well, I don't see that now. I'll just leave it at that.
I pray that you will begin to trust God enough to trust that He will do the work He's promised to do in the hearts of believers by His grace (Titus 2:11-14, Philippians 1:6). All Joanie is doing (and JP, as well) is pointing people to Christ and building up believers about who they are in Christ, and then trusting that God will do His work in them. And I am thankful for her faithfulness to do so in the face of such unfair and unkind criticism.
