 Steve
Shultz:
Yes, watch out for the
Big Bad Wolf but don't stay away from Denny Cramer's teachings! They are among
the best out there.
Here is one of Denny's
latest words in season called, "Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?" Denny is one
of the most prolific and accurate prophets I know! (I just thought I'd share
that with you!)
While this word may be a
little hard because of the warning, God gives us such warnings to give us hope
that He has a plan for us and so that we are not outwitted by the devil.
For that reason, we
offer this word to build up the believer. God is providing tools so that the
devil may not outwit us. Remember the scripture that says,
". . . in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we
are not unaware of his schemes"
(1 Corinthians 2:11).
Blessings,

 The
Bible warns us to be on our guard against wolves.
"I know that after I leave, savage wolves will
come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number, men
will arise and distort the truth in order to draw away disciples after them.
So be on your guard! Remember, I have never stopped warning each of you night
and day with tears." -Acts 20:29-31
Years ago,
the Lord prophetically warned me of a wolf who was about to enter my life and
ministry. "Denny, if you join with this man, he will rob you of your
congregation--for his heart and his mind are not joined with yours. He is a
deceptive man, and he will cleverly deceive the congregation to undermine you
and your ministry, twisting and distorting even the most innocent words and
actions to make you appear as the evil one rather than himself. He is a wolf in
sheep's clothing."
The Bible uses a wolf to symbolize a false minister or teacher. He is someone
who scatters the flock, leads sheep astray, and preys upon the flock instead of
feeding them. He is not a true shepherd.
He misleads people by drawing them to himself instead of drawing them to the
heart and rule of God--his outward appearance concealing his inward motives. A
wolf will talk, teach, preach, sing, or act just like a real sheep but his
desire or motivation is entirely different.
A wolf thinks only of himself--selfish and destructive.
A true shepherd always puts the sheep first--not last. He lays his life down for
the sheep.
A wolf is someone who has not submitted his life to the Lordship of Jesus. He
has sought God for the wrong reasons. He serves God for what he can get from Him
rather than for who He is. He is an impostor, easily mistaken for a true
shepherd until his motives are revealed by his actions.
A wolf takes control no matter what it takes: trickery, deceit, manipulation,
false doctrine, intimidation, clandestine meetings, power plays, secrecy,
planting seeds of distrust, discord, disloyalty, or even spiritual witchcraft.
He will use any means available. It is very difficult to identify a wolf by his
outward appearance--by what he says or how he looks; a wolf often looks and
sounds like a sheep.
Instead, you identify a
wolf by what he does or does not do. You identify a wolf by his actions.
"Beware of false prophets who come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly, they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their
fruit. . . " -Matthew 7:15-16
Fruit speaks
of lifestyle, character, teaching, and influence--his personal history--the mark
he leaves on people's lives. In addition, a wolf will often lie, steal, gossip,
slander, break covenant, be disloyal, violate friendships or trusts, betray or
dishonor others, violate confidentialities, ignore biblical guidelines for
proper communication between disagreeing Christians, lust, love money, be a poor
steward of money, be dishonest, be selfish, be self-important and proud, claim a
false ministry or gift, claim an authority in God he doesn't possess,
self-promote, be worldly, be carnal, be greedy, show outbursts of anger and
rage, have a controlling spirit, have no fruit of the Spirit, and most
importantly do nothing out of a pure agape love as his motivation. A wolf only
knows how to display cold love because by nature, he is a predator.
According to the Bible, the dog, fox,
bear, and wolf all have negative connotations.
"Behold, I send you out as sheep among
wolves. Therefore, be wise as serpents..."
-Matthew 10:16 (We should be wise concerning wolves.)
"After my departure, savage (grievous)
wolves (notice the nature or
characteristic of this type of wolf--savage, grievous).
. . will come in among you, not sparing the flock (notice where
the wolves are located--among you--among us. . .
notice their recklessness and the danger they pose to the
sheep--"not sparing the sheep").
From among yourselves, men (notice
the wolves are men--probably leaders) will rise up
speaking (a wolf has an unusually big mouth, jaws, and teeth)
perverse (misleading) things to
draw away disciples after themselves (a wolf always has a
personal agenda--not a godly agenda). Therefore,
watch and remember I did not cease to warn you (notice this
apostolic warning is to Christians) night and day
for three years (notice the seriousness of this warning)."
-Acts 20:29-31
Beware of false
messengers who come to you in sheep's clothing.
"Beware of false messengers who come to you in sheep's
clothing (notice their outward appearance-they look like sheep)
but inwardly, they are ravenous wolves. (notice their inward
motivation-meat eaters) You will know them by their
fruit." -Matthew 7:15-16
Jesus said
that their inward motivation will eventually be seen in their actions.
In Review: What Is A Wolf?
According to the Bible, there's nothing good about a wolf--nothing. A wolf is a
cunning, hostile, marauding animal--intelligent, clever, calculating, an
opportunist in the animal kingdom, and the arch enemy of sheep. Jesus used a
wolf (Gk.lukos-- weighty one) metaphorically to describe a false prophet,
minister, or teacher--a cruel, greedy, destructive person (usually a person in a
leadership position)--someone who would oppress and ruin the church.
The Bible warns us a wolf often looks and sounds just like the other sheep, but
he shares similar outward characteristics only and spends most of his time
around the sheep (not for fellowship, but to size up his prey). But he will
freely sacrifice the sheep should trouble arise. Compare this to a true shepherd
who will oppose a wolf at the risk and cost of his own life.
Carnivores and herbivores do not hang
out together.
Most
alarmingly of all, a wolf is a carnivore--he loves freshly killed sheep! A sheep
is an herbivore; carnivores and herbivores do not hang out together. Make no
mistake about it, a wolf feeds on sheep. He sees them only as a resource for his
selfish purposes--a food source!
A wolf is someone greedy for personal gain, who can never have enough. He is a
hireling working primarily for the money--not a true shepherd (John 10:11-13).
His only interest is personal advancement at the expense of others.
A wolf is
ruthless and loveless--a "taker." He openly violates God's principles of agape
love in I Corinthians 13. Most wolves don't know how to love--they're
just hunters living for the kill.
A wolf scatters the flock--he's not a true leader. His ministry is often
characterized by the number of dead sheep left scattered around him. Any contact
with a wolf will lead to destruction and eventual death for the sheep. A wolf
only gathers sheep to use them or disqualify them (John 10:12).
A wolf leads sheep astray--twisting and distorting the truth. A wolf is often
weak theologically, even heretical, and cares little for the orthodoxy of
Scripture. His goal is not healthy, well fed, theologically balanced, sheep but
gullible, vulnerable, dependent sheep--mindless, spineless followers.
Self-preservation is the prime motivation of a
wolf.
A wolf
misleads people by drawing them to his own personality instead of drawing them
to the heart and rule of God--his outward appearance concealing his inward
motives. He will talk, teach, preach, sing, or act just like a sheep, but his
desire or motivation is entirely different. A wolf possesses a self-important
spirit--often boasting of a false gift or ministry.
A wolf looks for quick results that require little sacrifice. He is impatient,
impulsive, immature, premature in all he does. He's an aggressive animal--a
pushy personality, often displaying erratic behavior.
A wolf thinks only of himself--usually an acutely selfish and self-destructive
personality. Self-preservation is the prime motivation of a wolf. A wolf is
often a betrayer and knows little of relational loyalty.
A wolf is an untrustworthy person--never turn your back on one--never trust a
wolf. Jim Jones was a wolf. If a wolf offers you a glass of Kool-Aid, don't
accept it!
A wolf is someone who has not submitted his
life to the Lordship of Jesus.
A wolf is
usually an unbroken vessel--lacking genuine authority in God. He will impugn the
character of others, while totally ignoring his own sins.
A wolf seeks God for the wrong reasons--for what he can get from Him rather than
for who God is.
A wolf is an impostor, easily mistaken for a true shepherd until his
motives are revealed by his actions, his fruit. (life-style, character,
teaching, and influence). Never listen to what a wolf says. Listen to what he
does; look at his track record.
A wolf takes control no matter what it takes: trickery, deceit, manipulation,
intimidation, false doctrine, clandestine meetings, power plays, secrecy,
planting seeds of distrust, discord, disloyalty, or spiritual witchcraft. He
will use any means available. A wolf thinks nothing of illegal, unethical, or
unscriptural behavior. To a wolf, the end always justifies the means. Left to
his own devices, a wolf will ultimately destroy any church he leads.
Hope this helps,
Dennis Cramer

abandonment and betrayal? Does severe hopelessness and chronic loneliness
keep you paralyzed in debilitating despair? Are you immobilized by
self-doubt and a persistent sense of overwhelming inferiority? You may be
cursed! And you are not alone. In this startling expose', Dennis Cramer
details his 13-year battle with a "Christian" curse and how God not only

from its devastating effects. Could you be the victim of spiritual abuse?
Could other Christians have pronounced failure and defeat over your life? In
order to bring to light this terrible darkness, Dennis takes you on a
journey into the evil world of "Christian" witchcraft, "Christian"

"The Master's Call"
by Dennis Cramer
$10.00
Book
|
|
|
 |
|
Sadly, the church of Jesus Christ is full of average
believers. This average believer tends to be quite sincere, a good person to
be sure, yet he or she is a spiritual under-achiever. The average believer
tends to be spiritually unhealthy, spiritually crippled, and most likely to
be a spiritual invalid. The average believer may be loving and kind, but he
ceased to be a spiritual threat long ago.
Hell accurately perceives the average believer as spiritually harmless and
rightly so. He is operating at about 40 percent of his spiritual capacity.
So why is there such an epidemic of average in the church? The answer is
simple: The average believer has failed to recognize that his call has
changed, and he has not! Let me repeat that: His call has changed, and he
has not.
Although this tragedy has occurred out of ignorance, instead of disobedience
or rebellion, still, it has happened. Yes, the average believer will clearly
go to heaven, but his kingdom role here on earth will be negligible,
spiritually insignificant, and spiritually inept. What a terrible, terrible
waste of a life.
The Master's Call was written to help you combat the scourge of average in
your life, to help you to successfully identify and immediately respond to
the ever-changing call of God. By asking yourself nine simple questions, you
will be instantly propelled to rise above average. It is time for you to
respond to the Master's call: The ever-changing call of God upon your life.
After all, no one wants to be just average.
