Bud Ahlheim of Pulpit & Pen warns of the abominable teaching that's coming to a church near you -- perhaps even the church you attend! "This is a reminder about the danger of Shirer," says Ahlheim. "It does not take much discernment to recognize her as a false teacher with toxic teaching. If Christ’s presentation of the antithetical “two paths” is correct (Matthew 7:13) – and, OF COURSE, it is – Shirer’s anti-orthodox, anti-Biblical teaching falls on that undesirable, though emotionally appealing, wide path. She promotes a contemplative, emotions-based, mystical form of faith that is completely foreign to 'the faith once for all delivered to the saints.'” (Jude 3)
Priscilla Shirer promotes extra-biblical revelation. In other words, she teaches that God speaks to believers personally, privately and specifically. So, with this in mind let's listen to what Bud Ahlheim has to say on the controversial teaching that believers have an inner ability to hear God's voice that has become so popular among charismatics.

Not recommended teachers/authors/ speakers
Marsha West writes:
Early in 2016, Michelle Lesley compiled a list of women teachers, speakers and authors that should be avoided like the plague. In October she added several women to the list (here). There's no guessing necessary as to why Michelle doesn't recommend certain high profile Christians because she includes examples of their flawed teaching; likewise, she names some of the wolves those on the list choose to partner with. Beth Moore, Joyce Meyer, Victoria Osteen and Christine Caine, to name a few. The Bible urges believers to do their homework (Acts 17:11) for the reason that "false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction (2 Peter 2:1).
Now take a look at Michelle's list...(link here)

Tip: Instead of reading Priscilla Shirer's book "Armor of God," read Pastor Jim Osman's book, "Truth or Territory".
