If
you
decided
to
visit
your
childs
school
one
day,
dropping
in
unexpectedly
to
watch
as
your
child
learned
from
this
person
you
trust
your
child
with
for
the
major
portion
of
his
or
her
day,
you
would
have
expectations
from
the
teacher.
You
would
not
want
someone
harsh
and
bitter
with
your
child.
Even
if
you
saw
this
teacher
screaming
at
another
child,
you
would
be
utterly
shocked!
In
fact,
if
you
found
that
this
person
had
an
uncontrollable
habit
of
raising
their
voice,
youd
probably
take
your
child
out
of
school
and
find
a
different
teacher!
As
a
child
of
God,
its
strange
that
we
find
so
many
under
the
influence
of
William
Branham
that
scream
at
Gods
children.
Mimicking
the
charismatic
preachers,
they
raise
their
voices
to
capture
the
emotions
of
the
congregation.
And
like
schoolchildren,
the
mental
state
of
the
children
in
the
congregation
become
alert
to
listen
to
the
screaming
preacher,
just
as
the
schoolchild.
The
problem?
If
the
preacher
strays
from
the
Scripture,
the
congregation
will
still
be
influenced.
This
is
not
the
way
that
Paul
spoke.
Paul
was
very
humble
and
calm.
In
fact,
in
1
Corinthians
2,
he
says
that
he
did
NOT
raise
his
voice
as
others
did
in
pagan
worship
of
his
day:
And
I,
when
I
came
to
you,
brothers,
did
not
come
proclaiming
to
you
the
testimony
of
God
with
lofty
(elevated)
speech
or
wisdom.
For
I
decided
to
know
nothing
among
you
except
Jesus
Christ
and
him
crucified.
Charismatic
preachers
are
like
cheap
magicians.
Using
slight
of
hand
techniques,
they
scream
at
you
and
direct
your
focus,
while
other
ideas
are
slipped
into
their
teachings.
Many
speak
to
the
power
that
should
be
in
the
ministry,
applying
the
word
power
to
whatever
spiritual
gift
that
they
focus
on.
For
some,
it
may
be
speaking
in
tongues,
for
others
healing,
for
others
prophecy,
and
the
list
goes
on.
Paul
says
that
without
love,
these
men
are
nothing
more
than
crashing
cymbals.
You
see,
Pauls
power
was
not
in
healing
or
other
gifts.
Paul
says
in
1
Corinthians
2
that
his
power
instead
was
in
the
Word
of
God:
And
I
was
with
you
in
weakness
and
in
fear
and
much
trembling,
and
my
speech
and
my
message
were
not
in
plausible
words
of
wisdom,
but
in
demonstration
of
the
Spirit
and
of
power,
so
that
your
faith
might
not
rest
in
the
wisdom
of
men
but
in
the
power
of
God.
When
you
read
the
entire
chapter
in
context,
rather
than
snipping
out
this
single
verse,
it
is
evident
that
Paul
is
referring
to
the
Power
in
the
Gospel
of
Jesus
Christ
not
powers
likened
to
that
of
a
sorcerer.
The
very
first
verse
of
this
chapter
is
about
the
testimony
of
Christ
crucified
not
what
he
could
do
or
what
he
had
accomplished.
He
continues
on,
talking
about
the
message
given,
not
the
gifts
received:
Screaming
Preachers
Yet
among
the
mature
we
do
impart
wisdom,
although
it
is
not
a
wisdom
of
this
age
or
of
the
rulers
of
this
age,
who
are
doomed
to
pass
away.
But
we
impart
a
secret
and
hidden
wisdom
of
God,
which
God
decreed
before
the
ages
for
our
glory.
None
of
the
rulers
of
this
age
understood
this,
for
if
they
had,
they
would
not
have
crucified
the
Lord
of
glory.
But,
as
it
is
written,
What
no
eye
has
seen,
nor
ear
heard,
the
heart
of
man
imagined,
what
God
has
prepared
for
those
who
love
him
Paul
did
discuss
great
spiritual
things
with
the
elders.
But
it
was
not
hidden
mysteries
that
were
for
some
elite
group
of
people.
Paul
discussed
the
Mystery
that
was
Christ
crucified!
Now
that
the
false
teaching
of
William
Branham
is
under
fire,
certain
screaming
ministers
are
telling
their
congregations
not
to
study
the
scripture
for
themselves.
This
is
a
direct
disagreement
with
the
Apostle
Paul:
these
things
God
has
revealed
to
us
through
the
Spirit.
For
the
Spirit
searches
everything,
even
the
depths
of
God.
For
who
knows
a
person's
thoughts
except
the
spirit
of
that
person,
which
is
in
him?
So
also
no
one
comprehends
the
thoughts
of
God
except
the
Spirit
of
God.
Now
we
have
received
not
the
spirit
of
the
world,
but
the
Spirit
who
is
from
God,
that
we
might
understand
the
things
freely
given
us
by
God.
And
we
impart
this
in
words
not
taught
by
human
wisdom
but
taught
by
the
Spirit,
interpreting
spiritual
truths
to
those
who
are
spiritual.
If
we
truly
have
the
Holy
Spirit
in
our
lives,
that
Holy
Spirit
does
not
blindly
accept
the
words
of
screaming
preachers
just
because
they
are
subduing
us
with
their
emotional
bindings.
Paul
says
that
the
Spirit
searches
EVERYTHING!
The
natural
person
does
not
accept
the
things
of
the
Spirit
of
God,
for
they
are
folly
to
him,
and
he
is
not
able
to
understand
them
because
they
are
spiritually
discerned.
The
spiritual
person
judges
all
things,
but
is
himself
to
be
judged
by
no
one.
For
who
has
understood
the
mind
of
the
Lord
so
as
to
instruct
him?
But
we
have
the
mind
of
Christ.
Let
me
repeat
that
last
part
of
the
last
verse:
But
we
have
the
mind
of
Christ!
As
Christians,
we
should
ask
ourselves:
Are
we
letting
screaming
preachers
bind
the
Holy
Spirit
within
us,
keeping
it
from
searching
everything
as
Paul
describes?
Are
we
letting
their
lofty
voices
drive
us
into
submission,
bottling
up
the
Holy
Spirit
within
us?
Is
God
outside
watching
inside
the
church
at
the
screaming
teacher,
begging
to
let
someone
with
patience,
longsuffering,
and
love
teach
them?
Or
has
God
already
left,
moving
on
to
other
churches
that
teach
Christ
crucified
instead
of
false
prophecy?
or
did
the
teaching
stop
in
1965
when
a
false
prophet
died?
