Meetings in Mike's little kingdom (Intro)

I have been praying about this and believe I should review Mike Peters book. For what it may be worth I offer this to any for consideration. I will be very frank in expressing what I see as I am praying and asking God for discernment regarding this book by Mike Peters. I will say it just like I see it and not hold back as I trust God to help me be sensitive to and discern the full counsel of His Word in contrast to Mike‘s ideas. We will not exclude the testimonies of many who have “been there and done that” regarding Mike’s actual practices when looking at what he “says” in his writings. It is my conviction before God that Mike Peters has cunningly twisted the Scriptures to fit his own end. I will explain this as I offer as much detail as possible while remaining concise and condensing for readability. I do believe I should note that many false-teachers and false-teachings have similar characteristics and therefore these posts regarding Mike Peters teachings will shed light on other false-teachers/teachings as well. By taking one chapter at a time through the entire book, I will bring out things to consider in contrast to God’s Word in His full context. To follow Mike’s demand in his book that no one may quote a part of the book without quoting all of the book, I have made a text-only copy in a post available on this blog. I purposefully changed the date of that post to June because I don’t wish to advertise for him although I have placed a serious warning on it there. He did say in the book that we can make complete copies.

It is a good thing to continue to tear at the brown paper bag over Mike Peter’s head and work to show people that the chainsaw he holds can be removed from his hands so that he does not harm more people and families, as he uses it to cut up peoples lives recklessly and heartlessly for his own little kingdom. Here we go…

Meetings in his kingdom

Comments on the Introduction:

As Mike has said in here, it is about a Jesus and a kingdom. The question is, has Mike been describing the real Truth of the Gospel of Christ Jesus for the Church or has he craftily designed another Jesus of his own engineering abilities to offer for worship (of Mike) and obedience (subjection to Mike) for those who don‘t know better? I want the readers to consider whether it is revealed to you here that MP has indeed cunningly produce “another Jesus” for his own kingdom. I see Mike has worked hard to lure people in who won’t take the time and care with prayer going through God’s Word to see if these things are so. NOT if the Scriptures he speaks of are there (for Satan quotes the Bible), BUT rather has Mike Peters been faithful to our God OR has he indeed twisted the Scriptures deceptively. The seduction in Mike’s teachings goes out to those who are weak in their knowledge of the “Word of His Grace” and/or have been discouraged by the contradictions and failings which they have been hurt by or witnessed in other places bearing the title “Christian church”. Mike has made a defense for himself by playing into the churches shortcomings and offering something that seduces the naïve, which is in reality much worse than the easily escaped teachings of others in Christendom. Mike’s solution will prove more damaging than most other problems the church is dealing with today. He is (on a MUCH smaller scale) very much like other legalistic factious cults of today.

How interesting it is that Mike has the gall in the intro to reference 2 Corinthians 3:17-18

“Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”

As Paul said to the church of his day so it is for us today: “but he who troubles you shall bear his judgment,” (gal 5:10). This “trouble” is referring to legalistic influences promising others liberty when they are themselves slave of corruption or slaves of man-made and control-designed laws in the guise which gives the false impression of being highly spiritual.

Look at this excerpt from Mike’s intro:
“For that reason, if you are living in a more typical modern-day church environment, you may be a step or two out of an ability to visualize, or live in, some of what follows. At least for now. If this turns out to be the case, try to understand as much as you can, and pray that God will give increase to these Seeds in your future. But don’t ever be complacent and accept less than what Jesus deserves in His People! Be a catalyst for Godly change!”

“At least for now”, “these Seeds in your future”? Here is an immediate attempt to proselytize before the first chapter. And they claim that they do this in no way. This claim is clearly recorded on FACTNet in their own words. Meanwhile, they give this book and so many other materials out to others. As well as leaving their website address on eBay and in many other places.

You can see Mike’s cunningness immediately through his painting up a picture using Scripture to appeal to those spiritually desiring to know God’s workings in the Church. After being discouraged through trying so many other claims of those who say they know how to have and be the Church, some are lured into this nasty trap of legalism. Like a prostitute would wrongly use God given physical means to attract and seduce others who are weak in their flesh for her own gain, so Mike is prostituting the words of God to attract and seduce the naïve and weaker brothers and sisters because “he is speaking so many truths” and “it seems so good”. As we know, Eve really and truly “thought” it was good and would make her wiser, so the allurement to being “more spiritual” plays into the minds of the naive.

In the intro, at the same that time Mike is attempting to subtly woo Christians into this “ideal living in Christ” he is preparing their minds for the idea of being fully subject to his authority in his little kingdom as he mentions the idea of “submission". Watch out! Mike’s trap is set in the intro…

Lord willing, I will soon be back with more on the intro in Mihk. This exercise of discernment is good for growing in grace and knowledge of the Truth if you stay alert, have God's full armor on, keep both sides of the Sword sharpened in God’s Word properly, and always pray in the Spirit. May God bless you with greater discernment.
