Vallotton is back at it with two more absurd postings. One embracing money to sell his new book and the other denouncing religion to try and avoid any criticism.

It has become so bad over at Kris Vallotton Ministries that it is difficult to keep up with the absolute zaniness of the heresy he comes up with. Last week we wrote about his new book covering his favorite subject -- money; as well as an interesting tale he told where God laughingly covered up for one of his false prophecies cause you know -- they're best buds. I thought maybe he would take a pause but there are two new pieces up that defy reason and biblical sense. One is of course about money and the other is allegedly about changing the world but in reality it is just a hit piece against organized religion that demands Kris adhere to the Bible. Well beloved, nobody puts Kris in a box! The key verse is simple today -- we are to rebuke the Kris Vallotton's of the world for they are leading sheep to slaughter. Let us reason together once again as we review these two articles, linked above, starting with what Kris lives for -- money.

"But what if God never meant for us to be poor?What if wealth could actually be related to your relationship with Him, not from a place of begging or striving but rather from the inside out?" -- Kris Vallotton

This is a point often made regarding hucksters like Kris Vallotton. He wants your money, plain and simple. He has made a lot of money already but greed knows no end. The problem is that the Gospel is the opposite of earthly treasures. It is about eternal riches that do not require money. In fact, at every turn God warns us about loving money and chasing money. Jesus even lamented once how hard it will be for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. Here is a simple test regarding any teaching and whether it is false. It must be able to be preached around the world. Can this teaching survive in the underground church in China or the martyred church in the Middle East? Can it survive the poverty of South America of even that of downtown Detroit? If the answer is no, then you know it is a false teaching because the true Gospel of Jesus Christ transcends time, generations and culture. How can you look a brother or sister in the eye who was born into abject poverty and say that God did not mean for them to be poor? Kris actually said last week that poverty is a choice. How disgusting. He now summarizes a video teaching:

"Both Solomon's riches and Abraham's riches were directly attached to their relationships with God. Genesis 13:2 says, "Now Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold," and 2 Chronicles 9:22 says, "So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom." So maybe wealth is not a sign of your relationship with God, unless it is. I'm not saying that everyone who is wealthy has a relationship with God. But I am saying that when God makes you wealthy, then that wealth is directly related to your relationship with God. So then, sometimes wealth is a sign of your relationship with God! You can of course be poor and have relationship with God, but let's not go to the other extreme and say that God doesn't make some people rich. And if God made them rich, then what's your problem with them?" -- Kris Vallotton

That is quite a long way to go to make no point whatsoever. Sometimes wealth is a sign of your relationship with God? Ok. Sometimes it is not. You found two people in the Bible whose riches were attributed to God but I can point to a hundred who had just as strong a relationship and were poor. My problem is not with rich people, whether God made them prosper or not. My problem is with false teachers trying to dupe the sheep into thinking greedily because they found two people in 6000 years they can definitively say were rich because God made them so.

'Whenever I write about this on social media I get blasted with negative comments" I don't understand why we all want to go heaven and be wealthy, but for some reason we're opposed to people being wealthy on earth. Deuteronomy 8:18 says, "But you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He who is giving you power to make wealth, that He may confirm His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day."' -- Kris Vallotton

You get blasted because you are a liar Kris. You get blasted because you make merchandise of the Gospel and fleece the flock of the Lord. You get blasted because you mangle the Bible beyond recognition to suit your own ends. It is not simply that you write about money. As for the verse you quote, yes. God gives us the power and ability to do anything on this earth. Because you have the false belief that God wants everyone rich you cannot see that most people are not rich because of the sovereignty of God.

"To the Jewish people in Israel, when they were wealthy it was a direct sign of their relationship with God, because God had said He'd make them wealthy as a sign of His covenant with them. Do you know that Jesus told more parables about money than any other subject? The parables of the minas, the talents, the lost coin" Jesus talked more about money than any other single thing in the parables." -- Kris Vallotton

No Kris; just no. I am sure you heard this absurd talking point from one of your heroes like Bill Johnson or Robert Morris but Jesus did not talk more about money than any other thing. To even remotely suggest so shows how little you understand Scripture. Even the examples you gave reveal your ignorance. The parable of the lost coin is not about money it is about salvation, which by the way is the number one topic Jesus discussed. It is actually the second of three such parables, nestled between the lost sheep and prodigal son. We are the lost coin Kris and heaven celebrates with the Father when we are found again. As for the Minas and Talents, both of which are strikingly similar; they also have nothing to do with money other than money being used as the allegory to convey the message. God has invested in us the Gospel of His only Son and He expects us to turn a profit with it, not bury it in the ground. Only someone who is blinded by greed can read these three parables and conclude they are about money.

"I truly believe that most people who still struggle with a poverty mindset want to be free and want breakthrough. However, when you've been struggling for a long time, kingdom abundance can feel unattainable or overwhelming. Today I'm asking you to take the step of simply opening your mind and heart to what God may want to say to you on this subject. I want to encourage you to put down your fears, your offenses, your wounds, your disappointments and maybe even some pride, and be open to the thought that perhaps there is a way to have clarity on wealth. Let go of the poverty doctrine you may be under because I want to propose to you that there's way more to life than living in lack. If you'd like to know more about this I'll be coming out with a new book, "Poverty, Riches and Wealth" on April 3rd." -- Kris Vallotton

Beloved there is no poverty mindset. Kris Vallotton made it up to convince you to buy his book. If you want to read a review of the free chapter, it is on my website. It is not your mind and heart he wants you to open but your wallet. Let us continue on now to the second article linked above allegedly regarding how to change the world:

"I have a sense that the church has, in some ways, allowed ourselves to become known for our boxes instead of our passions"that is, famous for what we don't do because of our "righteous" constrictions. I don't know about you, but I don't want to be known for all the things I didn't do, but rather for the change I made in my lifetime." -- Kris Vallotton

This is a common refrain from the Bethel Church gang of experiential Christianity. They do not want the confines and guardrails that God has provided for us through His Word. They believe that what we experience and feel must be from the Holy Spirit and therefore it allows them to ignore Scripture that contradicts it. The "boxes" Kris refers to is known as Scripture. It is doctrine. The issue for Kris is always change but the question is who is his change agent because it sure isn't God. If it were, it would line up with His holy Word.

"Many of us find our inner man longing, stirring, and burning for the great adventure. Live or die, we must press through the walls of mediocrity and find the Promised Land of our souls. We live with a passion to be numbered among those who have gained fame in the halls of Heaven and are feared among the prison guards of hell. If we are going to walk as God's ruling royalty, we have to: Pray unceasingly, Give sacrificially, Dream unreasonably, Serve wholeheartedly, Love unashamedly, Walk innocently, Believe undoubtingly, and Live powerfully. These are the qualities of the Bride of Christ in all of her glory. She is called to be the most creative force on the face of the earth." -- Kris Vallotton

Because the god that Kris worships is himself, he is always chasing a greatness that he will never attain. Unless you count the infamy of being responsible for drawing so many people down the broad path that leads to destruction. The Bible encourages our inner man to be longing for obedience and burning for doctrinal zeal not looking for the next Six Flags over Jesus. If you want to be feared by these imaginary prison guards in hell then you really ought to start by opening the box you hate so much and study the Bible. As for these eight things Kris offers that we must do to "change the world"; let me apply the Bible. Nowhere in Scripture does it say we are to change this world. That is part of the NAR, dominionist agenda of churches like Bethel. Beyond that however, these eight things sound pious but are just empty words from a man who refuses to follow the Bible to begin with. These are the qualities of the Bride of Christ in all of her glory? Says no biblical text anywhere. She is called to be the most creative force on the face of the earth? Says who Kris? What chapter and verse are you reading from? Stop adding to the Word that you openly have so much disdain for.

"What stops us from living out this call as the Bride? I am convinced that religion is the problem, and it's the father of genetic cloning. Religion invented cloning long before the world ever thought of it. Religion has a way of sucking the most powerful people on the planet into a spiritual look-a-like contest, calling it discipleship. True discipleship is meant to empower people to be transformed into the image of their Creator, but religion redefines the terms, conforming people into replicas of their leaders. Religion takes God's mighty men and makes them artifacts in a museum." -- Kris Vallotton

As anticipated here is his assault on Christianity. The saddest thing is that Kris cannot see the truths right in front of his eyes because they are spiritually discerned. Jesus is His Word. The Word of God is His image. God did not provide us with the Bible so we would have something to read in our spare time. The spiritual look alike context is to become more and more like Christ. The Bible defines the terms Kris, religion merely tells you what they are. It is ironic that Vallotton references churches that conform people into replicas of their leaders. That is exactly what Bethel is. It is a cult of personality church where people worship Bill Johnson. It is not religion that is culpable however but the absence of it.

"Religious people, like the Pharisees of old, have the hardest time reaching out to folks who think "outside of the box" and don't behave inside their hopeless shackles. Part of the struggle comes from what they have done to the Savior of the world. They have sterilized the gospel. Jesus took water and turned it to wine, but 2,000 years later, today's Pharisees have diluted it to grape juice. The death of Christ paid for our sins, but it was His resurrection that gave life to our mortal bodies. Religion embraces death sadistically and moves the risen Christ out of the garden and back to the tomb. We have lost sight of the fact that the Cross was for the old man not the new man, and that the true Christian life is not about dying for Christ, but living in the life He purchased for us to establish His Kingdom on earth! The Church must shake off the shackles of religion and embrace our supernatural destiny." -- Kris Vallotton

Kris, seriously, what the heck are you babbling about? Your poor playing of the Pharisee card here only further reinforces your ineptitude regarding the Scriptures you abhor so much. I have no problem reaching out to people who think outside the box, or as we call them, unsaved. We do it the same way Jesus did it -- with the Gospel. I feel really badly that you think that the Gospel is nothing but hopeless shackles but that is what happens when you insist on living outside the bounds of doctrine. Religion does not move Christ into the tomb it just insists that if you are going to claim to preach Christ that you do so according to what He has actually said and not what your deceitful little heart has invented. You see the Bible says we were crucified with Christ and that He now lives in me. It says that in order to be a disciple we must pick up that cross you so casually tossed aside as being for the old man, and follow Him. Beloved if nothing else frightens you yet about this voracious wolf, please reconsider this one line:

""the true Christian life is not about dying for Christ, but living in the life He purchased for us to establish His Kingdom on earth!The Church must shake off the shackles of religion and embrace our supernatural destiny."

No. The true Christian life cannot start until you die for Christ. Until you are willing to crucify your old life with His. The rest of this quote however is at the heart of the deception Kris Vallotton believes and sells. It is straight up dominionism and NAR teaching that claims we must establish His kingdom here on earth. It is only arrogance and usurping the power of God to believe He needs our help with anything! We must not lose sight of what Kris is teaching people here. That the Bible is Pharisaical, crusty, shackling religion and only through the "supernatural" can one find God. Simply put, Kris Vallotton wants to make it up as he goes without being constrained by the Word of God. That leads to one of two possibilities and outcomes. He either lies with reckless abandon or because he actually plays around in spiritual realms he does not understand, like the Seven Sons of Sceva before him, that he cannot tell when he is actually being visited by demonic angels of light. For your consideration, a story from an article last week that he told:

'Years ago on I had one of those Sunday nights that was just really good; the message went well and I was prophesying over people and they were crying (which was a general sign that it was going well, ha!) I went home on a high and that night lay in bed and heard God laughing and say, "That was a good word YOU gave that lady at the end." I started to get worried, and apologized to God for getting so caught up in the moment. I went from a high to a quick low. He laughed and said, "Oh that's okay, I'll take care of it." I said, "How are you going to take care of it?!" and He replied, "What kind of a friend would I be if I only ever did what I wanted?"' -- Kris Vallotton

Assuming he is not lying, he engaged in a full conversation with some spiritual entity. We know it was not the Holy Spirit because the demon assured him that he would cover for his false prophecy. This is what happens when you abandon the safe confines of Scripture. So Kris and this demon had a good laugh about a false prophecy he gave some woman and Kris cannot see how this is simply demonic. Thankfully he finishes up this article:

"One of the strongest weapons we have against the religious mindset that puts us in boxes is a true connection with God as our Father. Understanding and experiencing the Father heart of God is an inoculation against the counterfeit of religion, which is simply works without relationship with the One who loves us the most. World changers know who their Daddy is, and they know what they have access to as the children of the King of Kings! We are all called to be history makers! Are you learning to carry His power and authority into every realm of society?" -- Kris Vallotton

The box is called the Bible. It is our true connection to the Father. It does not change and it is always right. Unlike if we leave everything up to our wickedly deceitful hearts and our "experiences." There is no such thing as the Father heart of God. Kris made it up. Beloved, if religion insists upon a biblical foundation for everything, and Kris Vallotton is selling a religion based upon things he makes up based upon his feeling and experiences, which is counterfeit? The notion of carrying His power and authority into every realm of society is simply heresy. It is the NAR seven mountains garbage. This world is not going to be saved. It is the Titanic and we already struck the iceberg. Jesus is the lifeboat. Religion points people to the lifeboat. Kris Vallotton calls the lifeboat a shackle and calls on his followers to rearrange the deck chairs instead. We are not all called to be history makers beloved. We are called to be obedient and proclaim the Gospel to the lost because the ship is going down. Do not listen to charlatans like Kris Vallotton telling you that the people pointing you to the lifeboat are just being religious. Don't believe me Beloved; believe His Word.
