Ephesians 5:
11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. 12 For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret. 13 But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.

2 Cor 10:
3 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Look at the 'revelation' of evil practices - as a warning:
Nicolaitanes, Fornication, Baal ...

Revelation 2:
2 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks;

2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:

3 And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.

4 Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.

5 Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.

6 But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate.

7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;

9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.

11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; He that overcometh shall not be hurt of the second death.

12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos write; These things saith he which hath the sharp sword with two edges;

13 I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth.

14 But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate.

16 Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

Many people today think of a prophet as any person who sees the future. While the gift of prophecy certainly includes the ability to see the future, a prophet is far more than just a person with that ability.
A prophet is basically a spokesman for G-d, a person chosen by G-d to speak to people on G-d's behalf and convey a message or teaching. Prophets were role models of holiness, scholarship and closeness to G-d. They set the standards for the entire community.
I agree with this but i wouldn't limit it to God . Music, Inventions, Etc . involve some sort of ability to see into the future .

What is g-d? Who is / are Gary and Monica Dennington? Dallas is corrupt in it's worship of Baal. This is the essence of Hellenism. Dallas (like St. Louis) becomes a great place to enable a woman preacher - the essence of Hellenism. The belly of the great fish ...

A partial truth often hides a greater truth / untruth. As was mentioned a sort of opening the door but not entering in ...

Thanks for sharing the link. I think Monica may have been hurt in the past and only further blinded by others false preaching.

Here in the cited video I believe she is confused, perhaps because others do confuse (translated: distort) the teachings. Flesh and spirit are two different concepts - flesh gives birth to flesh ... But spirit gives birth to spirit. Spirit is not a physical aspect. This does not reject in any way the union of man and woman when the two become one flesh. Nor does it condone in anyway homosexuality or pedophilia. These are two distinct concepts she is confusing. To be honest I have not even heard of any preacher using such an argument for homosexuality but I will watch for and watch out for it.

To clarify, there is a feminine (not gender - female) nature of the divine. This nature is the middle pillar of the tree of life. The attributes of this feminine nature are mercy, compassion, empathy, ability to forgive and such like. These traits, attributes or characteristics offset the authority, severity, judgment attributes of the three part or triune nature of G.O.D.

Why do you put GOD'S name as G.O.D. is it cryptic for something?

G.O.D. is a clarifying response to the g-d system. It is in fact cryptic for the [names of the] three pillars in the tree of life, similar to the three temple pillars, two literal-metaphorical (Jachin and Boaz) and the central metaphorical pillar of Solomon / king or high priest. Later we see three pillars again when Paul declares James and John and Peter as 'pillars of the church'.

I've known a lot of "new agers" and self proclaimed "witches" and she definitely LOOKS like she fits the bill... I have been told I am too into looking at the dark side, but its almost impossible not to in times like these. Never forget Jesus is the truth and the way, don't go looking for the devil but don't ignore things either.

I also find it strange for a devout christian woman to have THAT MUCH make up. I mean seriously, I'm not trying to be unkind but that is a LOT of makeup.

She also mentions "Light" a lot and that's kind of a red-flag. She has a point, but remember the devil can twist things. Would also like to know what bible shes reading from. (King James? etc)

I actually became a believer through looking into the darkness, because I realized that what was considered "light" was actually darkness. I was really into the new-age and I realized that it was all evil.

Her hair is red. Does red hair make a human being a witch or does it make the accuser a character assassin based on nothing? People look all kinds of ways, but it's what they DO that tells you who they are. Rude. God said you will know them by their fruits.

Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
17 Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit.

You don't know how much make up she has on!! Were you there when she applied it? Do you know her skin issues, and where is it forbidden in the Bible? God dressed up Israel to perfect her beauty (Ezekiel 16), and Job, the most righteous man on earth at that time names his daughter after eye shadow (Job 42:14).

John 7:24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly."
John 7:24 Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly." - NIV

HE sent us out like sheep amongst wolves for one purpose...to seek the lost sheep...if they do not hear the WORD of TRUTH, we were told to dust off our feet as a testimony against them...

But this woman is actually using CHRIST'S MINISTRY and COMMISSION..."go"...as if we are going out to look for satan?

No, that is a twist on CHRIST'S COMMISSION to "go"...

She didn't even mention THE GOSPEL and the whole point that CHRIST calls us by HIS SPIRIT as witnesses of HIM for one purpose.
To enter into that Ministry of Reconciliation...to call ALL MEN (those who have sinned, those who have done these things, out from the kingdom of darkness)...HE didn't tell us who to go to...but HE said go.

And for this woman to quote: I am sending you out as sheep amongst the wolves, as if we are going out to look for the devil?
How does one twist this truth that the purpose of CHRIST'S disciples was to lead all men to CHRIST? And that was what HE was referring to.

She took the scripture that calls men who are born of CHRIST'S SPIRIT and are told to "go" and she implied that this is wrong...and that those who go, who are commissioned as sheep amongst wolves to go are heretic hunters/looking for the devil to expose him?

Those outside of CHRIST are in the wrong kingdom
There is division in the world.
There are those in CHRIST whom GOD has transferred out of the kingdom of darkness into THE KINGDOM of LIGHT in HIS SON...
So, those who are commissioned to go are actually calling all men out from the wrong father's kingdom into through faith in CHRIST the KINGDOM of GOD...
You don't go looking for lost sheep to discover all the secrets of darkness they are surrounded by. You don't have to know anything about freemasonry to preach the truth of Jesus Christ to them. She in NO WAY implied it is wrong to "go" spread the Good News.

what a great idea. when evil is waiting to kill you and your family the best thing to do is bury your head in the sand and pretend its not there.
dumb video . . .
Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

Revelation 2:24 Now I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan's so-called deep secrets, 'I will not impose any other burden on you,

Why is mentioning "Light, a lot" a red flag? The Bible mentions "Light", a lot.

Are you saying there aren't real Christians in Dallas? They don't even live there. Gary and Monica are a married Christian couple.


You said a woman preaching is the essence of Hellenism? Have you not read the Book of Proverbs? Do you not know that Wisdom is a Spirit of God (Isaiah 11:2) and that Wisdom is Female?

Proverbs 1:20 20Out in the open wisdom calls aloud,she raises her voice in the public square;
21on top of the wall[SUP]d[/SUP] she cries out,
at the city gate she makes her speech:

22“How long will you who are simple love your simple ways?
How long will mockers delight in mockery
and fools hate knowledge?
23Repent at my rebuke!
Then I will pour out my thoughts to you,
I will make known to you my teachings.
24But since you refuse to listen when I call
and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand,
25since you disregard all my advice
and do not accept my rebuke,
26I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you;
I will mock when calamity overtakes you—
27when calamity overtakes you like a storm,
when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind,
when distress and trouble overwhelm you.


28“Then they will call to me but I will not answer;
they will look for me but will not find me,
29since they hated knowledge
and did not choose to fear the Lord.
30Since they would not accept my advice
and spurned my rebuke,
31they will eat the fruit of their ways
and be filled with the fruit of their schemes.
32For the waywardness of the simple will kill them,
and the complacency of fools will destroy them;
33but whoever listens to me will live in safety
and be at ease, without fear of harm.”
