You have abandoned your people, the house of Jacob. They are full of superstitions from the East; they practice divination like the Philistines and clasp hands with pagans. (Isaiah 2:6)

The Ecumenical Church of Deceit Now Grows Closer To A Global Family

Here we move one step closer to seeing the major pillars in the Devil's Ecumenical Church of Deceit, in the Word Faith Church, the Emergent Church and the Purpose Driven Church, more closely unite through the mystic practices of the contemplative “spiritual disciplines” which flowered in the monastic traditions of the apostate Church of Rome. In this piece for Newsweek's On Faith Word Faith mogul and Oneness Pentecostal T.D. Jakes has now come right out and endorsed the practice of yoga and meditation for Christians.

Jakes himself even mentions that in Rick Warren’s:

Purpose-Driven Life, he does encourages (sic) people to practice "breath prayers" by repeating words and phrases over and over in a mantra-style prayer, a practice that is similar to that found in Hindu yoga and Zen Buddhism, but I don’t view that as a recommendation to forgo the laws of the God of Abraham.

As you read this article also note how “Bishop” Jakes–consistent with so many spiritually obtuse $evangelical$ “leaders" today–teaches that man himself is capable of deciding “where breathing and meditation end, and a newfound religion begins”, which only shows his grave misunderstanding of the spiritual nature of the warfare the Christian is involved in:

I believe at the core of the debate is what your intentions are when one practices the exercises of yoga or when you meditate... if I am a Christian, then the fact that I do yoga to enhance my physical condition, or meditate to help me clear my mind, do not change my beliefs in Christianity or remove or weaken my faith. My primary concern only lies with wondering if new Christians are adept at discerning where breathing and meditation end, and a newfound religion begins.

People listen to fools like man-pleasing spiritual cowards like T.D. Jakes at their own peril...
