    WHY AM I DOING THIS?: As much as an amateur blogger and theologian can do this...I want to make you think. I want you to know what you believe and why you believe it. And I want you to believe what you do - not because Mommy and Daddy believed it - but because it is the truth as contained in the Scriptures. I pray that God will use this blog and the resources and links provided here to grow its readers (including me) in the grace and knowledge of Christ. I pray this knowledge will result in a life of obedience that flows - not from fear or a desire to gain God's favor - but from a gratitude of knowing the truth about Who your Creator is, and what your Creator has done for you.

Can You Say, “Uh-Baugh-Mih-Nay-Shun”? I Knew You Could Do It

Posted by Brian Thornton on January 11, 2007

abomination I just saw on TV a ‘religious’ program that is marketing something that is perhaps the most egregious and pathetic and deplorable thing I have ever seen pushed by the health-and-wealth, name-it-and-claim-it quacks on television…The Holy Communion Package: Releasing God’s Favor.

I watched this heretic – Gregory Dickow – as he led his viewers in taking ‘communion’ through the television set; as he talked about health and wealth through the taking of this ‘communion’; and how he never mentioned even once the true meaning of the Lord’s Supper and what it represents: the bread being Christ’s body broken and given for us, and the cup signifying the New Covenant in His blood. The atoning work of the cross was never even so much as hinted at, only a bunch of junk about eating the annointing…receiving the annointing…and being healthier and wealthier by taking this ‘communion’…not to mention the fact that this guy is encouraging people to take what they think is true communion apart from the rest of the body of Christ. An UN-corporate Lord’s Supper!

Here is what you too can receive if you order the Holy Communion Package:

  • A 30-day supply of communion elements to help you establish the habit of receiving communion as a part of your daily lifestyle.
  • The Power of Communion: Receiving the Favor of God message on audio CD or cassette tape.
  • A Communion prayer card. Many people have called or written wanting the words of the prayer I use when I lead people to receive communion on our television show.
  • The DVD of our TV show titled “The Power of Holy Communion” where I teach you one-on one, the meaning and power of communion.

Here is one of the statements from Dickow regarding this special promotion:

Take the first step toward unleashing the power of God’s favor in your life today by learning the power of communion. I encourage you to take communion today over a situation where you don’t feel God has turned to your favor. Then that situation will change because God has a blood-bought oath to show you His favor through His precious body and through His precious blood. I want you to expect it today!

There are also testimonials on the website which recount stories of healings, financial gain, and job promotions after taking this communion. I will not provide the web address or links to this horrible heretic here because I do not want to risk contributing to his abominations. If you want the link, email me and I will consider it.

This is the kind of thing that makes me cry even louder, “COME, LORD JESUS!”.
