This is deception. God does not do angel feathers, gold dust and gems from heaven. And the prayer cloth this man wears is just childishness. Be very careful who you follow or who you let minister to you. Real ministers do not need to use gimmicks or fancy titles to make themselves look important to others. There is an infamous false revival a foot across the USA and it has reached into many distant lands. The movement is referred to as The New Apostolic Restoration and also is part of the IHOP (International House of Prayer). It is a cancer of immaturity and false teaching disguised as Full Gospel (Pentecostal) REVIVAL. There may be some that unknowingly have aligned themselves with this movement, but in time, if they are wise, they will see the error and remove themselves from this so called Move of God. Look for humility and Christ like character in a minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and there should be no gimmicks or parlor tricks when they serve others in the Church during public ministry. Being slain in the Holy Spirit is valid and there are other manifestations of Gods Power that are real (such as speaking in unknown languages, and accurate prophecies), but you must use discernment and know those that lay hands on you to pray on your behalf. Pastors have a very real responsibility to protect their parishioners from spiritual abuse and immaturity and fraudulent showmanship. Luke 7:20-23 (KJV) When the men were come unto Him, they said, John Baptist hath sent us unto thee, saying, Art thou he that should come? or should we look for another? And in that same hour He cured many of their infirmities and plagues, and of evil spirits; and unto many that were blind He gave sight. Then Jesus answering said unto them, GO YOUR WAY, AND TELL JOHN WHAT THINGS YE HAVE SEEN AND HEARD; HOW THAT THE BLIND SEE, THE LAME WALK, THE LEPERS ARE CLEANSED, THE DEAF HEAR, THE DEAD ARE RAISED, TO THE POOR THE GOSPEL IS PREACHED. And blessed is he, whosoever shall not be offended in Me. This is what the Bible says (Jesus himself) said you should look... there is no mention of angel feathers and gold dust, or gold fillings in peoples teeth suddenly appearing or Angel feathers falling down from heaven, or orbs of light dancing across the room, or uncontrollable violent shaking and barking like a dog. Please people be wise. Test all things with what is written in Scripture and use real spiritual discernment in these matters. God is a God of order and decency. (1 Corinthians 14:1-40, 2 Timothy 3:8-17, Luke 20:36) And one more thing folks. Angels do not have physical feathers, they are spiritual beings (Hebrews 1:14). Psalm 91:4 refers to the Lord Himself and it is a metaphor (figure of speech). Job 28:6 talks of gold dust, but once again this is a metaphor. My hope is that this man will come under the real authority of mature Elders and will learn to rely upon solid Biblical Exegesis (explanation of text) when teaching, and not so much on showmanship and gimmicks when ministering in the Power of Holy Ghost. We have all been corrected and we ALL need correction from time to time.
