Bob Larson

[Work in Progress]

Wwatch, I hope you will forgive me for sticking my two cents in on that.

I am often accused of being overly simplistic and am guilty as charged. But it seems to me that there are no "degrees" of this - anyone who teaches false things not of the Spirit and/or brings shame and ridicule on the name of our Saviour is working for the enemy. The only thing I am unclear on is that some would say it is intentional, I am not so sure of that. Maybe it is my trusting nature, but I wonder if some of them don't realize they are working for the enemy? Of course, that doesn't change the fact that they are.

wwatch. Firstly. if you read my first post carefully you will notice that I never mentioned any names. And why would I, I have never even heard of Bob Larson. I was just generalising. After reading all of the posts regarding the man and his ministry, there seem to be some doubt as to his crebibility as a preacher. I have heard on radio and television many men, mostly American, to have impressed me, until, through various channels I have checked them out and found that most of them are commercially motivated and have relieved a lot of lovely christian people of their hard earned cash and have caused in some cases people to lose their faith in the word. I never even hinted that such was the case with Bob Larson. When mentioning the names of the people, DK etc, I was

After reading these posts I have to say that Bob Larson's style is one the sits him apart for all the others.  I am thinking about going to see him the end of this month as he will be in the Orlando area.  I've read many of his books and frankly, he lines up with what many have said as they themselves deal in this area of ministry.  My thoughts are that he is human, and not perfect however, God is using him.  This fact says alot.  I encourage anyone who does not know about deliverance ministry to research it, read books written by respectable authors and ministers who deal in this area.  Then only will you have a understanding of how hard it is.  The person called to do it has to be lined up correctly with God.  The Holy spirit can not work thru those with sin, especially if its unconfessed.

Now, I do agree with many about Bob's petition for money.  This bothers me.  I look at Billy Grahm, during his services he never petitioned as Bob does.  So that question I just give to God to answer.  I on the other hand, will keep an open mind as God continues to give me understanding in this area.

Roc1, I agree completely that we should read books by respectable, God-fearing authors concerning this issue.  Of course, our first and final source should be the Holy Bible.  One great book that deals with this and similar issues from an exegetical standpoint is Charismatic Chaos, by John MacArthur.  Check it out.  I'm sure you'll have an opinion about it one way or another.

Thanks for the book info, I thought I had bought all the great books and it seems there is still one more. :-)  I'll look for it.

I write this message after Easter.  All day yesterday I spent in study and praise for our Lord.  It's time.  We need to be equipting ourselves against Satan and his armies.  I watched the movie Jesus of Nazareth.  If anyone hasn't seen it then please do, its that good.  The crucifiction in the movie is nothing like what our Lord suffered for us.  God the Father allowed the foces of #### to come against His Son.  Jesus was beaten beyond recognition.  He had lost so much blood prior to the cross that He could barely walk, that is why he couldn't carry his beam.  What Jesus endured going to the cross, then once there, only shows the extent of Gods love for us.   God gave us His Life.  Now, He gives us His Spirit.  Let us all line our lives up so we can help those around us who satan has in bondage.  God wants us to love others as He loved us.   It's time.
