Just as the forefathers of the ancient heresy of Gnosticism passed their teachings of the Babylonian mysteries onto eager listeners, we see their descendents today - passing their false doctrines onto the unsuspecting Church. The Latter Rain Movement, like the New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) of today, is the modernized version of Gnostic Christianity, the ancient heresy. Like the NAR, the "Gnostics had a view of spiritual superiority through receiving visions, revelations, communications with angels, insight by God speaking directly and giving unknown doctrines; regularly in long conversations with its participants and giving doctrines that are not found in the scripture."[1] It has really caught on in our day, because it spiced things up for those who got tired of the corporate Church and the traditions of men.
In an interview by Sid Roth, Larry Randolph claims he was raised in the church, and is a descendent of Christian psychics. Later he was mentored for ten years by Robert Mitchell of the Latter Rain Movement. He admitted in this interview that Mitchell had ties to Smith Wigglesworth, the Asuza Street Revival, and William Branham. He learned his craft from one who personally ministered with Fathers of the Pentecostal/prophetic movers and shakers. Seeing himself as one who had direct contact with one of these men, we can see why he has given this conference the name Wisdom of the Fathers. He thinks of himself as being a direct descendent of those Fathers.
While most of us wouldn't think to seek out the spirit world, it's a regular occurrence for this group. In some of the interviews he's done, and articles that were written about him, Larry has seen the Court of Heaven in session, visited the Third Heaven, and had angelic visitors in his bedroom at night on more than one occasion. He can see into the future, and he knows peoples names without being introduced to them...not your typical born again experience by far.
The message about the future is most troubling. I read three of his books about five years ago, and he was using New Age terminology and knew that 2012-13 was going to be an important year, even before the media started building it up. With his message of tolerance, unity, social justice, and world domination, it isn't any different from the message of the Masons, or the U.N.. In fact, the "Latter Rain/Manifest Sons of God agrees on every point with the New Age Movement’s anticipation of the exaltation of mankind to godhood, and the establishment of a New World Order."[2]You can't help but see that he is knowingly conspiring with those who have The Plan, and giving bits of it out as prophetic messages from God.

You will soon realize that they are Luciferians as well, and they receive their messages from demonic spirit world.
Larry's Recent Conference Artwork
The Bible says that the Lord knows who are His, and a Christian's spirit bears witness with the Spirit within other believers. Since this can't always be done face to face, we listen to the persons teachings and look at the fruit to determine whether a person is a Christian.
Satan's fruits are apparent in the same way, and his ownership can be seen by the choices a person makes, what he teaches, who he surrounds himself by, and the use of artwork and symbolism in their websites. You can tell who they serve. The following are a few examples of who Larry and his associates serve.
The Doorway
In my first post, we looked at the Blue Moon Conference and its pagan theme, so let's look at what he has cooked up next. With the upcoming Wisdom of the Fathers conference, the artwork of the doorway has two important meanings. The exoteric meaning may have been selected because of Rev. 3:20, which says:
"Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."Could this also depict the closed door of Freemasonry - the esoteric meaning. Doors play a significant part in the occult. Did you note the appearance of the top window, and how it looks like a rising sun.Those who use the rising sun as part of their ministry artwork may be waiting for the reappearance the New Age/Masonic christ, and the day when genuine Christianity will be forever changed. It depicts the dawn of a new age, and Larry has hinted about it in his speaking engagements. He calls it a paradigm shift - the same wording of Marilyn Ferguson, an important New Age writer who talks about the the emerging world agenda.
The doorway makes you think of 10 Downing Street in London, the British Prime Ministers office.
Note the rising sun in the window of the old photo below. Do you see the sun rays with the Tyr Rune?
More About the Closed Doorway
After enlarging the image of the main window panes of the door, I believe it was only a reflection from the parking lot. But when you look at the brick work to the right side of the doorway, it appears to be a strange image - possibly a totem pole - a pagan symbol.
Worship by the Dalton Brothers
"As the universal language of sound has developed within them, they have journeyed ever further into the experiment of controlled noise and emotion to release the sounds of heaven, the untamed performance of music on a stage of energy and light, pouring from the souls of a new generation of minstrels."
Note the flare of light on his chest.
Sounds like they are cut from the same cloth. Going to their website, which is quite different, you meet with more strange images. The following is one of them. Notice that as the image turns, you can see a light within the chest of the naked man. (Sorry about the following graphics. They are being used to make a point.)
As above, so below is a common illustration used by secret societies. It stems from the mystery traditions of Alchemy and its a Hermetic concept.
The light is not the Light of the Lord Jesus Christ, rather a universal light - that of truth, love, balance, and oneness. [5] The following quotes reveal who the light within is shared by, along with their ideas of global peace, unconditional love, and unity of the brotherhood of man. [6]
"The light that shines above the heavens and above this world, the light that shines in the highest world, beyond which there are no others–that is the light that shines in the hearts of men.” [7] Chandogya Upanishad 3:13:7 - Hindu writings
“Now, that Light which shines beyond this heaven, beyond the whole creation, beyond everything, in the highest worlds which are unsurpassingly good, it is certainly this which is the light within a person.”[4] Swami GambhiranandaJesus said:
"I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life." John 8:12Couldn't this artwork be forbidden with the following scripture?
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God..." Ex. 20:4-5aWhat about the naked bodies? Although the picture doesn't show detail, it doesn't leave much to the imagination. Nakedness is often associated with disgrace and shame in the Old Testament (Isa. 47:3, Micah1:11, Nahum3:5, Rev. 3:18. These are just scraping the surface. It's not just an Old Testament/Law thing, because we are told to dress modestly in the New Testament as well.
“In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.” 1 Timothy 2:9-10Then there is the racket coming from their site. I don't know about you, but did you noticed that it isn't any different than what the world is playing? In a call to repentance, Amos 5:23 says:
"Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols [stringed instruments]."Amen to that! They sound like they jumped the tracks from Rock and Roll to Christian Rock.
Another Point of Interest
When you begin to click around in Brothers website, a target/Bull's eye will appear to transition you into the next page. Liberty to the Captives will explain the meaning of the point within a circle. The Target store chain uses a version of the same symbol. Note the small white circles. They could be the same point within a circle or the Illuminati eye. (Link is not an endorsement)
Here's another image that has a New Age counterpart.
From the Dalton Brothers site.
The New Age counterpart
I could say,"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you" (2 Cor. 6:17), but I think they know exactly what they are doing, and they have no intentions of coming out!
The Bottom Line: The New Age Messiah
In two books of research by Constance Cumbey, she shows how there is a conscious attempt by certain Christian ministries to stage the coming of the new "messiah." In her second book, she shows you how the entire movement is within parts of the Church parallel Naziism.
In Constance Cumbey’s gem, A Planned Deception: The Staging of a New Age Messiah, she writes in-depth about how:
"Rev. Ernest Ramsey, an [New Age] associate pastor at Unity's Kansas City's Founder's Church, Unity on the Plaza, is an enthusiastic follower of the Alice Bailey and Benjamin Creme teachings. In his Research Report #2, he tells of something he was led to by a spirit guide - what he terms 'Neo-Pentecostalism.' An aberrant branch of Pentecostalism, this is more commonly known as the 'Manifest Sons of God.' That movement is also referred to as 'Sonship' or 'Overcomers.' Ramsey concludes, based on even less evidence than I have personally collected, that this is part of the New Age Movement.Naming Names
"Ramsey's work for his organization, 'Synthesis Fellowship,' first came to my attention in early 1983. His major report, entitled "An Evolutionary Basis For The Reappearance of the Christ and his Executives, the Masters of Wisdom" was inspired by Benjamin Creme's appearance and speech at Unity on the Plaza in Kansas City, Missouri. . . The most interesting section of Ramsey's report dealt with 'Neo-Pentecostalism.' Ramsey spent a semester at one of the Neo-Pentecostal or Manifest Sons of God seminaries (in upstate New York). . . Already familiar with the Alice Bailey writings, he was amazed to see that there was a branch of Pentecostalism that embraced the same teachings -- albeit using sometimes different terminology.

and many more. Here's a link to more info on individuals and groups. (Not an endorsement)
Conclusion
The Gnostic doctrines of the NAR is not Biblical Christianity, rather one orchestrated by devious men to prepare the way for the Man of Sin and the New World Order. Those who attend these churches are being used, fooled, and indoctrinated to co-opt the Church for the purposes of the New World Order.
Christian mysticism and metaphysical practices have opened the door to apostasy.The visions and prophetic words are nothing more than scrying (spiritual visions), divination (foretelling the future), and consulting with familiar spirits - all condemned by the Bible.
"There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee." Deut. 18:10-12If this wasn't enough, many of these NAR teachers promote the practice of contemplative prayer, which closely parallels Transcendental Meditation - endorsed by Larry and Rick Joyner. More proof of the influence of lying spirits, which is evidenced in how they have succumb to an occult deception that is moving toward a new world religion - incorporating the belief of the divinity of man, and "the christ" who is not Jesus of the Bible.
These Charismatics are absolutely in the forefront with the Pope in helping prepare the stage for the false christ. It would be impossible to bring about a One World Order without their cooperation.[9]
As we reviewed some of the images from Larry Randolph's next conference and looked behind door #1, there is no doubt in my mind that he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, and just another fake.
