Frankly, Bethel Church in Redding California is no church at all. It is a blasphemous, idolatrous organization ran by gospel-distorting men and women who do nothing more than lead people right into the hands of the enemy. From its faux signs and wonders to its rank heretical prosperity gospel, it can safely be concluded that Bethel Church should be marked and avoided at all costs.

Yet, much of its musical trash is still spread throughout mainstream denominations and independent churches around the world. Some who would even be considered “doctrinally sound” churches have turned a blind eye to the apostasy of this organization in the name of artistic license in worship. For whatever reason, many gospel-preaching pastors fail to see the heresy of those whose false gospel they relentlessly preach against. In other words, they will claim the abhor the prosperity gospel all while inviting the worst propagators of them into their pulpits through “worship.”

But it should be understood that the prosperity gospel, charismaticism, and its faux signs and wonders aren’t the only heresies coming out of Bethel Church. In a recently uncovered clip, Bethel’s second-in-command “Apostle,” Kris Vallotton, says that we can control and dictate not only what the devil does, but also what God does through prayers, which become prophecies.

It’s the Lord’s day. I got my Bible. I’m ready to hear the word. And then you begin to pray. Your prayers become prophecy and your words become worlds. And instead of being under the circumstances, you’re over the circumstances and you begin to dictate not just what the devil’s doing bad, but what God wants to do well.

But you happen to be prophetic people and prophets.
