Session 11 - Warren Smith

Keep in mind...these are just my raw notes

• Part of our armor is not being ignorant of the enemy's devices


• N.A. no longer referring to themselves as the "New Age"
  
  
  
  • Instead: the "New Spirituality"
  
  
  • ...the "Alternative Spirituality"
  
  
  
  


• Eph. 5:12-13


• "Take heed unto yourselves and unto the flock"


• M. Scot Peck ( I do remember him...)


• Problem of "contemplative prayer": no warnings about testing the spirits


• Warren's encouragement: be careful


• "The ECM seems to think it has a handle on helping people."


• Stereotype of Bible-believers: 'oh, I'm just waiting for Armageddon to come."


• For antichrist to have credibility, he would need to have a lot of people calling themselves Christians giving him credibility


• Tony Jones calls Mat. 24 Jesus' "harrangue"


• It all comes down to the Cross of Calvary


• Acts 16:16 - there are divining spirits


• "It was like a 'reverse sinner's prayer'."


• "It was meant to be - but meant to be by whom...?"


• Is the devil entirely predictable?


• There is coming a false world peace (true, dat)


• "Atonement" in the N.A. is the realization that I am a part of God


• "We have an adversary - let's make sure he doesn't get in."


• N.A. is saying if you don't recognize your own divinity, you're a hindrance.


• ECM - "We have a hope-filled eschatology!"
  
  
  
  • ...well whoopdie-do. (I really liked that, to be honest.)
  
  
  
  


• "There is no more effective method of concealment than publishing it (what you want to
  conceal) openly."


• A Return To Love - really first book in Oprah's book club


• "Self-centeredness" in the N.A. is in not recognizing you're God.
  
  
  
  • Oneness vs. Separation
  
  
  • "Separation" is when you don't believe in your own divinity.
  
  
  
  


• The Aquarian Conspiracy - (I remember that book)


• Teilhard deChardin


• Eric Butterworth: The Power Within You.


• Warren believes Oprah has a zeal for God (directly implying she's not evil), but according
  to her own wisdom.


• There's a lot of N.A.'ers who used to be evangelical Christians


• The Beautiful Side Of Evil


• Alice Bailey - Emergence, used over 1000 times
