Your prophets have seen for you
False and deceptive visions;
They have not uncovered your iniquity,
To bring back your captives,
But have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions.

Lamentations 2:14
"Together 2016 that will take place this summer in Washington DC. We explained that organizer Nick Hall was bringing together evangelical, emerging, charismatic, and Catholic leaders for the ecumenical purpose of uniting together. A special video appearance by Pope Francis will be part of the event.
The Gathering motto is “One Vision, One Voice, One Agenda.”

But a question that begs an answer is: What would “national
revival” look like considering the condition of the church and its leaders
today?
James Robison, one of the speakers at The Gathering,
has shown on many occasions his ecumenical stance with regard to the Catholic
Church. For instance, Robison stated in 2014: “I believe
there is an important spiritual awakening beginning in the hearts of those truly
committed to Christ in the Protestant and Catholic communities. Is it possible
that Pope Francis may prove to be an answer not only to the prayers of
Catholics, but also those known as Protestants?”
At least two of the speakers at The Gathering, Priscilla
Shirer and Max
Lucado, promote contemplative spirituality...
Two of the speakers at The Gathering – Greg Laurie and
James Robison – have both endorsed a book by Steve Berger, Have
Heart, in which Berger promotes the idea of necromancy.
Ann Graham Lotz (another Gathering speaker) recently sent out a
letter to her followers promoting prayer circles and an ancient mystic named
Honi. When she was challenged about this, she responded by defending her
statements on Honi and prayer circles.
Nick Hall
(another Gathering speaker) is the man who is directing the Together 2016 that
will occur in July in Washington DC, in which Pope Francis will deliver a video
message of unity. There’s no question about his ecumenical persuasions.
Bishop Ray Sutton of The
Gathering is Dean of the Province and Ecumenical Affairs of the Anglican Church
in North America and is involved in a number of ecumenical (road to rome)
activities.
Gathering speaker Leith Anderson
is an early pioneer in the emerging church movement. Anderson once said:
The only way to cope and be effective during this period of structural change in society is to change some of the ways we view our world and the church. It is what some call a paradigm shift—a new way of looking at something. Such a shift will allow us to view our changing world with new perspective. It is like a map. Old maps from 1950 may have sufficed before the construction of interstate highways and the expansion of major cities, but new maps are needed now. Likewise, we need a paradigm shift for the future. (A Church for the 21st Century, p. 17).
Sadly, the evangelical church has gone through that
paradigm shift now and presents a “new” Christianity
progressive,
emerging,
ecumenical,
contemplative."
