Lin Wood Stirs The Pot Once Again…

There’s a song written on your heart that only you can sing! Lift it up and SING IT! PRAISE LIKE DAVID, SING LIKE DAVID, PLAY THE STRINGED INSTRUMENTS LIKE DAVID AND DANCE LIKE DAVID!

AFTER CROSSING THE RED SEA AND GOD’S VICTORY OVER EGYPT, THE SONG OF MOSES WAS SUNG AND THE PEOPLE DANCED AND PLAYED THE TIMBRELS (hand drums) REJOICING IN THE LORD!

Exodus 15:19-21 (The Song of Moses)

19 For the horse of Pharaoh went in with his chariots and with his horsemen into the sea, and the LORD brought again the waters of the sea upon them; but the children of Israel went on dry land in the midst of the sea. 20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dances.

Miriam

21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

I collect drums and have many timbrels, some are rather large, and I often think of how the Israelites would dance and beat their timbrels and what that beat sounded like? What was the melody like? With trumpets, timbrels, strings and voice? The music? What would it be like to have experienced that sound of praise today? Watching the youth ministries, I catch a glimpse of what that praise was like. It has been missing for a very long time. I believe the Lord is restoring true praise through our youth and I believe if we support our youth with the truth of the Word of the Lord… mentoring them as Karen Wheaton has done… that is a noble mission of ministry the Lord is calling those well-seasoned in the word to do…. MENTOR OUR YOUTH IN THE TRUTH AND THE WAY OF THE LORD.

Lin Wood on Telegram said today….

I know many of my messages stir controversy. Even some of the songs I post stir controversy.

Ha! I can’t seem to win without losing!!! Or am I really just winning???

I pray you will always focus on the messages of others and if you deem it controversial in your mind, you will do your own research, connect the dots for yourself, and draw your  own conclusions.

In my opinion, critical thinking by individuals is essential to the restoration of our nation.

It is also very helpful in our journey of faith in accepting that every word in the Holy Bible is true.

Don’t accept any message at face value. Do the work and figure it out for yourself. That way when you discover the TRUTH, you will accept it and believe it. You also greatly minimize the chances of being deceived by the “conclusions” of others which could just be false propaganda.

As I periodically commented to my law colleagues over the decades of my law practice, “there’s a method to my madness.”

I have drawn my personal conclusion: every word in the Holy Bible is true.

Lin 🙏❤️🇺🇸

Dear Lord, this almost sounds like another threesome Lin’s been pointing out? There is a big play on words in this video. And no they are not singing Benny Hinn…for good reason. You are telling on yourselves. Keep on talking!

Lin what’s on your mind?

So far Lin Wood has not said what this is all about. He indicated that he was criticized for his choice in music. Looks to me like he got hit by the music police like I did. LOL. So, I had to respond.

A few days ago, I ran across the same video by accident. I was curious to watch it for I have been pounded in the past by some for posting music by these artists and was harshly scolded for being this and that, mostly harshly told I was bad for doing it. So, I watched the entire video out of curiosity, and it was difficult to stomach. Especially in the parts they so deceptively interrupted on their own slanted views. In it I saw how they were misguided, to say it in the most positive light possible. But, at points they were downright devilish in their accusations. Especially in their own 501c3 self-righteous mindsets. It was obvious they were threatened by far more than music. They love their 501c3.

Here are some of the Lin Wood comments on his Telegram post:

Joy Evenson, [In reply to Reply To Lin Wood]

I don’t agree with these guys at all. I’ve listened to Hillsong for four years now and they certainly preach Jesus as Lord! I’ve never heard anything contrary.

These guys are nitpicking and taking Hillsong and Bethel

Out of context.

There is so much more behind the scenes.. only God can judge.

I love Jesus even more because of the amazing anointed teaching and preaching and worship from Hillsong Church! Who can judge a man’s heart? Only God.

Evil song or praise? I call it beautiful praise!

Bonnie Ramsdell, [In reply to Reply To Lin Wood]

I’ve seen these men speak before. There seems to be a movement against the kids singing worship songs to Jesus Christ and God. I think if I’m able to read and figure out the message being delivered in the Bible I can figure out the messages being spoken in a song and so can the young adults. If these men continue to be this strict they will turn all the kids away from the church. For how long have we seen children at the age of 16 and 17 leaving the church? I believe it’s because the pastors and priests are too strict and now they are making it about the music. Let the kids find their own way and stop treating them like they are incapable of following their on path. I love all Christian music and I don’t go looking for a boogey man when I’m listening to it.

Dianne Marshall, [In reply to Bonnie Ramsdell]

I agree Bonnie.  With the logic used, do we throw out the Bible because they are teaching out of the same book?  There is discernment and there is stupidity that leads to a reprobate mind. Many have gone too far blaming innocent for sins of others. The truth is, they are losing their 501c3 dollars!

Alice In Franklin TN, [In reply to Bonnie Ramsdell]

Thank you Bonnie. You are level headed.

I do not believe Calvinists have the full gospel, they are sensationists who don’t believe the gifts of the spirit are for today and that God speaks to people. It’s wrong.

Debbie Paxton Litt, [In reply to Reply To Lin Wood]

How do you spell Legalistic Pharisees …. again …. ???

Just sayin ‘  🙂

Debbie Penrod, [In reply to Reply To Lin Wood]

In some songs the words ‘you’ and ‘lord’ are vague and can refer to satan. I read this in an article about contemporary Christian music.

And then there are blatant words like lightning, flame, darkness , it goes on and on. Am I going to be judged as a heretic because a certain song ministers to me? Idk. Unless I find out it’s not what think, I’ll like it. Stone me. That’s something else I wondered about,

stoning, I wonder just how often it was done. They didn’t use one person as an executioner, people had to actually administer the death penalty. It would seem like an extremely difficult thing to do.

Sorry, started to ramble. Oh, and we know how much you like controversy. Method and madness are only a part of your joy.😂♥️

Shameful or heartfelt praise and surrender? You decide.

I do not believe calvinists have the full gospel, they are cessationists who don’t believe the gifts of the spirit are for today and that God speaks to people. It’s wrong.

Eileen Hoyland, [In reply to Alice In Franklin TN]

The guys in the video, not Bethel. I’m not saying Bethel doesn’t have problems, but Calvinism is the worst of all of the Protestant break offs from the Catholic Church. [Luther wanted to ‘reform’ them, not leave. They kicked him out.] Justifying murdering believers b/c they don’t agree w/ your heretical doctrine is as anti-Christ as you can get. Talk about The Snake. John Calvin was one of the biggest ones.

M Lay, [In reply to SunTzu]

Exactly! And other books … 1 Corinthians, Romans, … the list goes on where scripture speaks of and demonstrates the power of the Holy Spirit and believers operating in spiritual gifts. I like Lin, but to share this and unnecessarily bash Bethel when many of Lins followers are probably charismatic Christian’s… not wise at all. I’m praying God opens his eyes to this legalism. Why is the reformed branch of Christianity so obsessed with accusing the brethren? Tempted to post some Bethel lyrics right now. “Goodness of God” comes to mind… How dare people sing and proclaim His goodness right?! That can’t possibly be scriptural!!! 🙄

Susie Weigel, [In reply to Reply To Lin Wood]

I love Bethel Music! We’ve taken teams there & love the fruit of their labors. Their music gives life to me!

Be SoberMinded, [In reply to Reply To Lin Wood]

Did God use David, Paul, Moses- murderers, sinners???

T 12, [In reply to Reply To Lin Wood]

I love bethel, elevation and hillsong!  They are NOT pushing a false doctrine. Either these words are misinterpreted or the  church leaders have a misinterpretation of the Word.  They have no agenda to mislead.

In the video below, as far as Justin Peters goes, he loves to be a thorn in all of it, as I have discovered over the course of some time. He seems to lump all of it together sooner or later.

So they deny the power of the Holy Spirit. No wonder they hate the good spirit filled music.

Well, let them raise their 501c3 high and praise their God for all their tax incentives for all their congregation and all their write offs. Cha Ching, Cha Ching. Now they gave their opinion, this is simply mine. So, they want to stay in a box and point out all other religions as bad and they are good judging what is taught? Good grief…come out from her my people!

Here’s what I found, since the comments were turned off… (I’m certain for good reason). However, they did have this included.

Why your Church Shouldn’t Play Bethel and Hillsong Music by WRETCHED. Now that’s a fitting name, and I didn’t make that up. Wretched….this message is from Wretched…!!!! The wretched are saying this:

“• Watch and listen to full episodes of Wretched Radio & TV for FREE: https://wretched.org Help support quality Christian media! https://wretched.org/donate

“We cannot promise that your ongoing, tax-deductible monthly support will save polar bears and stop global warming (if there were such a thing). But we can promise that we will wisely use every penny you entrust to us to preach the Gospel to as many people as possible. Thank you for trusting us.”

There you go… another 501c3 – false shepherds of business. Not a church of the Lord. The very words they spoke so eagerly…were not the words of the Lord. Not at all. They turned the words of a few songs into scathing love imaginations and said, we are not to address our Lord God in this manner ever. It is sinful. Well, I have to ask them, have they even read Psalms?  Or the Song of Solomon?

Song of Solomon

Chapter 1

1 The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.

2 Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love is better than wine.

3 Because of the savour of thy good ointments thy name is as ointment poured forth, therefore do the virgins love thee.

4 Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.

Stream Then David Danced by arobeeMUSIC | Listen online for free on  SoundCloud

2 Samuel 6:14-23 KJV

14 And David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.

16 And as the ark of the Lord came into the city of David, Michal Saul’s daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the Lord; and she despised him in her heart.

17 And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and set it in his place, in the midst of the tabernacle that David had pitched for it: and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.

18 And as soon as David had made an end of offering burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts.

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, as well to the women as men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed every one to his house.

20 Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel to day, who uncovered himself to day in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovereth himself!

21 And David said unto Michal, It was before the Lord, which chose me before thy father, and before all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore will I play before the Lord.

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be base in mine own sight: and of the maidservants which thou hast spoken of, of them shall I be had in honour.

23 Therefore Michal the daughter of Saul had no child unto the day of her death.

HOW DARE DAVID DO SUCH A THING, AND HOW DARE GOD BLESS DAVID FOR PERFORMING SUCH BEFORE THE ARC!

So who’s next for attacks? Will it be Karen Wheaton and her youth ministry – THE RAMP?

Remember this youth ministry was started to help the kids who were dying on the street using drugs, youth who didn’t fit in and the church had left to struggle in the streets for they were not reached out to. They were labeled as bad, druggies, lost, no good! Mega churches were not interested in these kids as they sure were down by the river living in a van in their lives. It took a true passionate woman of God, Karen Wheaton to see their pain, to see God’s tears weeping for these youth and she stepped up and showed them the way. So let their voices sing out in praise and worship – something that is lacking in those who dare condemn the youth’s music ministry. Instead, many listen to vain lies and opinions of those who push and bite at the youth for sins of others inside MEGA CHURCHES! God is watching all of these things.

WHO CARES WHAT THE MEGA 501C3 PASTORS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SONG AND WORSHIP? THEY CERTAINLY KNOW NOT HOW TO DO IT. OH, BUT THEY CAN PRAISE THEMSELVES!

The real problem is they failed THE YOUTH! AND FROM THE LOOKS OF THE BILLION HITS ON THE MUSIC – there is a hunger for a praise and worship music ministry!

My last thoughts on this subject after looking into this further are the same as my first thoughts. And that is, “You have got to be kidding me.” So, I guess by their standards, a music ministry is not allowed?  I want to know what their church covenants are. So far I see they love their 501c3 status for their church BUSINESS and COVET that of their neighbors. And I don’t really see any real concern for souls in their presentations…only for ideas of stealing their congregations?  Shut them down for the sins of others. Good grief.

I listen to the music and so far… I have never felt the need to go and find their pastors and follow their dogma?  Or cult practices? Whatever their accusers are calling it. Are there some among them who are teaching bad practices? I am sure there are. But we are speaking of music here. If we are to get into doctrine… we can attack all the churches all day long. The point is the music ministry is uplifting and touching people, all over the world to praise and worship the Lord. And isn’t that what a MUSIC MINISTRY is all about?

THE WEAKEST ARGUMENT WAS …

The weakest argument Justin Peters made was it’s okay to have a song that a bad theology person wrote if they are now dead for over a hundred years or so. So, with that logic, we can sing the songs of Baal worship because those authors have been dead for hundreds of years?  I guess that explains the acceptance of the Easter Bunny and Christ Mass. 

So, this is what we are up against. A devil hating that the youth are awake and praising God with pure song, and dance from their hearts! Of course he hates this and is out to devour all of it… especially since it is driving people away from the false deceptions of fear into a new world of faith, joy, love, and boldness! Many youths are coming to the Lord and sharing the truth as it was shared in the days of the first followers of the way. Amen and praise God as he does a new thing, a marvelous thing!!

KEEP ON PRESSING INTO THE KINGDOM, PRESS, PRESS, PRESS!
