A start on the "road less traveled"

September 16, 2025 - On DECEPTION I have been convicted of my poor choices and lack of discernment in the past 15 years. I was a “people pleaser” followed the herd mentally and never ever challenged the leaders! I am now willing to share my testimony of the LORD’S power to convict us, correct us, and put us in the Narrow Path! I share with you my personal Notes on Mysticism and Universalism. I am not naming names, or pointing fingers, as I love and pray for all these precious people. I share MY experience and walk through these years and ask you to reflect on your own journey and possible negative influences of those on the edge of truth. 1. Personal Experience. a. I was introduced to the concept of Mystic Mentoring in 2014 at a private meeting in my region. b. They hosted leaders in Ascension Mentoring from New Zealand, England, and US. Over the course of 5 yrs. I met, studied, and taught with them. I was an eager student. c. In their network, I attended conferences and personal training online and in person. d. I studied with a protégé locally leading the regions under the Mentoring of the head teams of UK, New Zealand, and the USA. e. I studied also for a year with upstart Mystics being endorsed by the head team. Their books and training courses were on Mysticism and Mentoring. f. I attended conferences with each of the leaders across the nation and built relationships with their mentors. 2. I was part of the Southeast Regional Team under UK leaders promoting their agenda. We met in the heart of America with folks from around the nation. The leaders promoted a corporate ascensions and prayer for the nation according to a recent vision of the heartbeat of America. (2016-17). The national members all met in Omaha, Nebraska 3. I was involved with several key voices of the past 15 years. I was involved with John Paul Jackson’s intercessors since 2014. After his death, I invited them to a conference with these new Mystics. It was in Dallas; Texas and I was excited to share these new streams! a. I began to listen to their responses at that conference. I trusted their discernment. b. Noted while a leader of a corporate ascension, demanded agreement with her vision/imagination! The journey was based on one person, not the body of Christ. Subjective. c. Noted their use of the MIRROR BIBLE stating that there are more books to rely on than the Bible. One such leader from another nation, threw the bible on the table and said, there is so much MORE than this! d. After 2 days the John Paul Jackson intercessors and I walked out as the mystic leader laid on the floor over a worship leader (male) and began to pound his chest demanding his mantle be given to her. e. Also heard stories of missions all over the world, with headhunters, etc. yet there was no “evidence” of these mission. No way to confirm. We were to believe whatever they said. f. Met former members of a church in Texas that this leader had attended, and they reported she was divisive and problematic. Causing issues with the church leadership. She was asked to leave. g. There were several up-and-coming authors and teachers in the younger generation being mentored by these leaders. I sensed they were originally grounded in the Word but had been highly influenced. They were all at the Texas Conference. No one dare oppose or QUESTION their beliefs. h. I met with other intercessors that had entered this MINDSET, showed $ and went to most of their conferences across the nation. I hadn’t seen them in a while, but they came to my region for a conference at our church and we went to lunch! THANK GOD. I just casually brought up my concerns of the Mystic group. They looked at each other and with wide open mouths said, YES! We had to back out. We had a check in our spirits. 4. I joined/ paid for mentoring under key leaders of the movement. I was invited by one of their protégé. Yes $$! Her team invited those who had been involved in conferences, etc. So, a friend referred me as a candidate to mentor in Ascension groups. We met weekly and were given protocol for leading. Over time we were to step up and facilitate online with new people being introduced. As I attended these sessions, I began to question some of their encounters. It was clear that it was “group think” as they used the leaders’ teachings and anyone questioning was silenced. In my year of mentoring, I noted the following: a. Encounters with “creatures.” It was a projection of the leader’s imagination, and I did not myself “see or sense” what they were reporting to be my experience or connected spiritually. This led me to ask, “what is wrong with me!” b. Over the process of these imagination experiences, I began to question the leaders. c. I was told by a friend in the group that they believe we were to “evangelize” the creatures, dragons, beasts. d. After a year, I failed their mentoring program. They said I was not “fitting in.” 5. As I began to discern and question, I found my acceptance to the group waning. I finally drew the line and removed myself. I attempted to bring my questions and concerns but was not heard or accepted. They were very much into the groups and the leaders. They have had numerous conferences and private meetings with high level leaders in their home. a. The UK leader held a private meeting with my friends. My neigbor attended with my questions. During the Q & A she asked directly of his position on Hell and Satan. i. He responded that there is NO hell, and even Satan would be brought to salvation via the RESTORATION OF ALL THINGS. ii. He included fallen angels and Nephilim in this belief. IT’s the ALL THINGS! 6. They “came out” at The Restoration of All things Conference in the UK was when they began to expose their core beliefs. They reported at the conference that the Restoration would be for ALL things, including fallen angels, creatures, demons and even Satan as there would be no hell. God is a loving God and would not allow any of them to suffer. (You can watch the old videos of that meeting). 7. I had a hard time accepting that all I had sown into, studied and learned untruth, and not in alignment with God’s Word. I fought it, defended it, and was emotionally attached to many of the members of this network. I hosted them, sowed into their ministries, and developed fellowship/family. To this extent, I understood how I had been consumed and Out of BALANCE! I had poured into this exciting new revelation of mysticism and universalism not understanding the depth behind it. I liken deception as an AMWAY pyramid network. You don’t see the cracks in the foundation until you move up the ladder. But by that time, you have bonded with them and it’s hard to begin to sort through it. I totally DETACHed from all of it and kept my mouth shut as my close intercessors questioned why I wasn’t participating in any of their meetings, etc. Note that my experience is common when we step out of a mindset influencing us: A common response for those involved and discerning deception: What is wrong with me? When questioning the leaders, you are shut down. You ignore any tiny red flags and ignore your “gut” radar. You begin to justify compromise, and begin changing your own prayers and activities to align with their acceptance. This is indeed Cult Mentality. You people please and compromise making excuses for them. It’s a very delicate and difficult path but one I am grateful that I stepped through. The bottom line, you have built long standing relationship with these folks, you trusted them, you love them, you pray for them…. And so does GOD! Conclusion: In my journey of pursuing more of God, I began to understand the influence of the New Age and Universalist in Christianity as I asked questioned and heard from intercessors. I was led to return to baseline foundations of the Bible. In reflection, I can see how my time spent in Ascension/Prayer groups was a distraction from bringing the Good News to family and friends, let alone the community. It was a general drifting away from foundations. For me, it is escapism, distractions and based on individual experience and expression. It is about Self Actualization and becoming greater, masters, and special! It divides and conquers us. It was subjective to the people involved. They in turn influence and direct those seeking truth. There is no way to get facts or confirmation among the body of the experience. Silence is golden. So, in my story, I am continuing to pray for those I was involved with, praying for the exposure of error, especially for those seeking truth in their seminars and trainings. I pray for their conviction by the Holy Spirit to discern where they have left the narrow path of the Word of God. Faith is not EMOTIONALISM and a state of Ecstasy like drug! I love them, and want all of us to be redeemed, convicted, and corrected by the Lord. My prayer is this: His Kingdom Come and His Will be done! I have been praying for all caught up in the network and sense that the dominant leaders be convicted, corrected, and restored to TRUTH. Of note, since the UK conference of the Restoration of all things, the leaders were counciled to stop speaking on this topic, it was causing division in their network. So they have dummied-down the message a bit. What is Universal Salvation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Christian_universalism We believe in the full and final triumph of God’s mercy and forgiveness over the powers of sin and death through Jesus Christ. No human being will be condemned to eternal torment or separation from God. 1 Timothy 4:10, Romans 5:18, Colossians 1:19-20, 1 Corinthians 15:22, 1 John 2:2. In Christian theology, universal reconciliation (also called universal salvation, Christian universalism, or in context simply universalism) is the doctrine that all sinful and alienated human souls—because of divine love and mercy—will ultimately be reconciled to God.[1] The doctrine has been rejected by most mainstream Christian churches, which tend to maintain at least the possibility that many are not saved, but it has received support from many prestigious Christian thinkers as well as many groups of Christians. It has been argued that the Bible itself has a variety of verses that support a plurality of views. Universal salvation may be related to the perception of a problem of Hell, standing opposed to ideas such as endless conscious torment in Hell, but may also include a period of finite punishment like a state of purgatory. Believers in universal reconciliation may support the view that while there may be a real "Hell" of some kind, it is neither a place of endless suffering nor a place where the spirits of human beings are ultimately "annihilated" after enduring the just amount of divine retribution. The concept of reconciliation is related to the concept of salvation—i.e., salvation from spiritual and eventually physical death—such that the term "universal salvation" is functionally equivalent. Universalists espouse various theological beliefs concerning the process or state of salvation, but all adhere to the view that salvation history concludes with the reconciliation of the entire human race to God. Many adherents assert that the suffering and crucifixion of Jesus Christ constitute the mechanism that provides redemption for all humanity and atonement for all sins. The bottom-line questions for me are: 1. What is your theology of the Restoration of all things? Does it include Satan? 2. Do you believe in a heaven or hell? 3. Do you stand on the Bible as the Word of God or use outside bibles such as Mirror Bible? 4. There are a lot debate over their WORDS. Many projections, criticisms, and misunderstandings over vocabulary in the Body of Christ. However, I believe it is via our personal testimony that can bring forward accurate intel to move forward. The Word of God is very clear, not compromised. 5. What if this is all “ just an issue over vocabulary and word use.” This can be addressed by questioning the meaning and intent, and reference to the Word of God. Bless you on your Journey of Truth in JESUS!
