Oprah Winfrey is a
blasphemer against the God of Holy Scripture. How does a very
intelligent lady come from a deeply Christian home of an
apparent Godly grandmother to become a full-blown New Ager? It
is reported that she began public speaking by reading or quoting
the Bible and sermons to her grandmother’s church family at the
age of three. She was actually named after Orpah, the sister of
Ruth from the Bible; but the name was misspelled on her birth
certificate. Being raped by a family member for years certainly
had a chilling effect on her young life.
The sad story is
that her incredible mind and personality has been turned into a
force for occultic powers. Satan goes about as a roaring lion
seeking the best and the smartest lives to use for his kingdom
of defiance against the God of the Bible. The New World Order of
the Antichrist is exploding and he needs teachers and devotees
to spread his high-sounding deception. Oprah Winfrey has become
one of his most successful tools to help lead a multitude to
hell. The present day acceptance of all religions on an equal
level sets the perfect stage. In this atmosphere the villains
are saints of God that identify these lies. Hatred for Biblical
Christianity has never been so loud.
Oprah has made
numerous statements that show her devotion to New Age ideas, but
the real proof is in her key radio series for 2008. The entire
year has been proclaimed as a study on the book, A Course In
Miracles. First, let’s document the source of this study. An
atheistic psychologist received this course by demonic
revelation in 1965. This same study has been a mainstay with
Robert Shuller’s church for years and probably played a large
part in the confused mind of Rick Warren. This study came to
this psychologist by “mind dictation” and the source identifies
himself as Jesus Christ. She recalled, “The voice made no sound,
but seemed to be giving me a kind of rapid inner diction, which
I took down in a shorthand notebook.”
Another psychologist
with whom she is reported to have had a very troubled
relationship agreed to participate in these dictations and serve
as a kind of secretary and confidant. For several years William
Thetford was often with her as she received the volume of
materials that constitute this course. He believed she was
receiving the original teachings of Jesus Christ to give to the
world.
The Oprah Winfrey
Enterprise has now become the window to the world for these
satanic teachings. It is scary when you consider her entrance
into the political campaign of Senator Barack Obama and the
impact the media suggests this is having on his candidacy. Satan
is determined to put the prettiest face with the least substance
in the American White House. With all of our sins and failures,
America and Israel are still the two nations hated by the
unbelieving world. To think of having a president that believes
in the ideas of Oprah Winfrey and A Course in Miracles should
drive us to our knees.
Let’s review the
heart of this dubious course in miracles. You will find that
every idea is totally foreign to the Holy Scripture. It is
basically the language of humanism, psychology, and the occult.
It has no kin to the Lord Jesus Christ and above all it hates
the sacred blood of the cross. If there is one thing Satan and
all his ilk love to attack, it is the blood and the very purpose
of that blood, which is to cleanse sin.
A Course in Miracles
states, “The atonement is the final lesson he (the human family)
need learn, for it teaches him that, never having sinned, he has
no need of salvation.” (Text, p. 237.) That statement is the
unfailing love of the devil. There is no such thing as sin to
Lucifer. To admit sin is to admit righteousness and rebellion
against righteousness. And that truth demands a Sovereign God
that is an eternal being that gave His only Son to redeem man
out of sin. The heart of this false system is the denial of the
Holy God that rules in His universe.
The false premise of
the above statement moves quickly to the next main thrust that
is the heart of Pantheism or New Age teaching. Here are the
author’s words, “The oneness of the creator is your wholeness,
your sanity, and your limitless power.” (Text, p. 125.) This
incredible statement is claiming that the universe is God, that
every part is part of the whole, and that we fit in the whole as
a cog in the wheel. There is no separate individual, either God
or ourselves. It is all an elusion, and we move up the ladder of
that elusion by our positive mindset. Of course, we move in the
reverse when we are negative or harbor negative thoughts of sin,
sickness, or failure.
It can only get
worse when you start with such rebellion against the Heavenly
Father. Here is a list of dark things in this book:
"There is no sin."
(Text, p. 9.)
"A slain Christ has no meaning." (Text, p. 10.)
"The journey to the cross should be the last useless journey."
(Text, p. 11.)
"The name of Jesus Christ as such is but a symbol ... it is a
symbol that is safely used as a replacement for the many names
of all the gods to which you pray." (Text, p. 13.)
Oprah Winfrey has
probably crossed the line in the sand to which there is no
return. Believe me, the great Creator and His Eternal Son is
beholding it all and the cup of wrath is near the top. The crash
of a life like Oprah will leave a heartrending aftershock. We
may not hear it here, but the sound will touch eternity.
Tell every soul that
you have opportunity to tell that judgment is near at hand. Do
not fail to exalt the Lord Jesus Christ as the Redeemer and
Saviour of all that call on Him in surrender.
