We can safely conclude that the testimony of Kim Walker is false. For it to be true, God would have to violate His own Word. I am willing of course to take Ms. Walker at her word that the events happened as she stated they did, which leaves only one other alternative:
But I will continue doing what I have always done. This will undercut those who are looking for an opportunity to boast that their work is just like ours. These people are false apostles. They are deceitful workers who disguise themselves as apostles of Christ. But I am not surprised! Even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no wonder that his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. In the end they will get the punishment their wicked deeds deserve. - 2Corinthians 11: 12-15 (NLT)
The reason why her testimony sounds so demonic is that the visitation was demonic. Once again, when you fool around with the things of God sometimes you do not realize what you invite. The spirit realm is very real. The demonic forces arrayed against us in the heavenlies are very real. You cannot run around like the Seven Sons of Sceva with a handful of religion, the name of Jesus, and no real relationship.
We are raising up a generation of churchgoers who think that this is their best life now, the worship is all about them, and who think that the gifts of the Spirit are as tradable as the baseball cards they once collected. Satan has many fronts on which he attacks us and in the case of Jesus Culture he gets two for the price of one. He gets to attack our youth and our worship. Forty years ago we were singing about how great thou art and today we sing how much You love me. That difference should be palpable to believers. Forty years ago we sang about how worthy the Lamb was and today it is about the blessings we deserve. But preacher I like the songs! That is a carnal argument, not a spiritual one. But preacher - you are too judgmental! Aren't we all supposed to unified and sing kumbya? Let's put an end to this false perception as well.
It isn't my responsibility to judge outsiders, but it certainly is your responsibility to judge those inside the church who are sinning. God will judge those on the outside; but as the Scriptures say, "You must remove the evil person from among you." - 1Corinthians 5: 12-13 (NLT)
We are most definitely supposed to judge sin, evaluate fruit, and expose any false teaching! The Bible warns us over and over again. Yet we keep seeing a church trading in discernment for a unity that is not based on Jesus Christ. Throughout the years I have come to realize that the cries of judgment are the first line of attack when the person cannot use the Bible to defend their position.
What matters are the people who fall prey to the wolves, not the wolves themselves. The people that matter are the people taught that waking visitations in the throne room of God are radical instead of reverent. The people that matter are the people falsely taught no respect for the sovereignty of the Holy Spirit in distributing HIS gifts. The guy who matters is that poor man in the wheelchair being prayed over by 100 sixteen year olds and still going home paralyzed. We cannot have schools to teach what only God is in charge of. They may be selling the church a culture but it has very little to do with Jesus.
