Chris Reed’s New ‘Jesus Revolution’ Message
Chris Reed’s new church, Jesus Revolution, recently launched, with believers flocking to the church to worship, hear messages and gain prophetic insight.
In his Oct. 20 message “I Won’t Back Down,” Reed discusses the person of Elijah and his battle against Jezebel and the false prophets of Baal, and how those with prophetic giftings can relate to him.
“These priests who led the Israelites astray in Baal worship were now dead at the hands of Elijah,” Reed says. “These were basically the state church. They were the priests or false prophets of Baal and Jezebel had believed in these priests so much she actually supported them from the treasury … they were bought and paid for false ministry, propagating a false gospel. And Elijah finds himself greatly discouraged after one of the most momentous victories in all of the Bible.”

How to Recognize False Teachers in the Church
Pastor Rick Renner, in a recent teaching uploaded to YouTube, delves into the book of Jude to address the danger of false teachers infiltrating the church.
Renner, using detailed Greek translations, warns that the epistle is as relevant today as it was in the first century, exposing leaders who “defile the flesh, despise authority, and speak evil of dignitaries.”
In Jude 8, Renner explains, these “filthy dreamers” justify their immoral actions and show utter disregard for spiritual authority. “They derogatorily speak debasing, nasty, shameful, ugly words toward those in authority who are worthy of honor and respect,” he says, highlighting how such teachers belittle and disrespect those in leadership positions, a practice that continues all too frequently today. Especially with the advent of social media.
