note-pls read his entire testimony which starts on P. Spirit filled prayer, as practiced by Pastor Hodges, is normative. Your mind might say things like, “You’re making that up.” Or, “That’s of the devil.” But unless we want to be weak like Peter was when a little girl asked him if he knew Jesus, we will have to reject those carnal thoughts.ģ. If you pursue the baptism in the Holy Spirit with the evidence of praying in tongues, your brain will challenge it because your mind can’t understand it. Tongues are either the ability to communicate in a known human language that is unknown to you, or a spiritual language that no one but God understands. If you don't, you may be carnal.Īll of the new believers at Pentecost spoke in tongues. The evidence of the Holy Spirit in your life is your ability to speak in tongues. This would include movies and music created by people who are immoral and serve the devil. Keep *demon* inspired music and movies out of your house.Īllowing things in our homes that are demon inspired. If you want to skip directly to the demon stuff, scroll down to #13.ġ.
However, this is one of the first times that we have seen it so carefully codified in one document. Much of what you will read in the document has been bandied about Christian circles for decades. We will be looking more closely at a number of these beliefs and practices in the weeks to come. Also, because of time limitations, we are not touching on large segments of the document. We urge everyone to read it for yourselves. There is so much here that in-depth discussion of each point is impossible in this post. Today, we are going to further list the various beliefs/practices found in this lengthy document. Part Two: The Church of the Highlands (COH) Prayer Force Training Leaders Guide link We plan to look at how Robert Morris is putting COH's demon theology into practice next week. COH has done us a favor by providing documentation of their beliefs in the Prayer Force document. It is my opinion that whatever goes at COH will be encouraged in other churches. In the meantime, it is important to understand that Hodges is highly influential in the ARC. We will discuss structure as we progress in this series. Pastor Greg Surratt – Seacoast Church, South Carolina Pastor Larry Stockstill – Bethany World Prayer Center, Louisiana Pastor Tom Mullins – Christ Fellowship, Florida Pastor Robert Morris – Gateway Church, Texas Pastor Rick Bezet – New Life Church, Arkansas So, Hodges would not oversee his church but could oversee other churches in the network. This group appears to function as overseers for particular churches. Chris Hodges, the pastor of COH, is part of the lead team of the ARC. Take a look at this list of upcoming church plants.ĪRC central is located in Birmingham. This is stunning, especially since they are adding churches almost daily. The Healing Place: 6,000 members (2012).Church of the Highlands: 20,000 members.Remember the awe of the Reformed crowd on the attendance at Mark Driscoll's Mars Hill? In its heyday, we were talking about 14,000. Not only are they growing rapidly, but some of their churches are huge. Remember the hoopla about Sovereign Grace Ministries being the *experts* in church planting? ARC leaves them in the dust. Today, over 400 churches strong, ARC has become not only a movement, but a collection of many “tribes” – all with a focus of planting those 2000 churches and impacting the world!
The organization maintains an annual funding base of $2 million dollars with ARC churches giving over $8 million a year to missions. It underestimated the numbers. According to ARC's website: In a comment yesterday, I used an old link to determine the size of this organization. The size of the association known as the ARC. Why these pictures? We'll get to that shortly.
