Here is an outtake from Sunday's sermon on the dangers of Asbury University's "revival" and similar ones at other colleges:
"They believe God is still speaking, the revelation's not completed and the spiritual gifts are still working," explains Richard Jordan. "They believe you can lose your salvation, you have to have the second blessing, the anointing, the sanctification, really weird kind of Christian living kind of stuff that's all a bunch of legalism.
"They're egalitarian, believe in women preachers, they endorse the LGBTQ stuff. Listen, they have people confessing their sins and that's not one of the sins they confess.
"If God the Holy Spirit was working in the midst all of that, those things would be addressed. He doesn't ignore sin to produce something. The big issue of the whole thing is you never hear the gospel.
"Ninety-five percent of the music being sung is produced by Bethel, Hillsong. Some of the most demonic, most heretical people you'd ever find are writing for Bethel and Hillsong--that genre of music--and that's what drives it all.
"If you listen to K-LOVE and all that stuff, almost all the music is produced by them, and it's a genre of music that's been subverted by mysticism of the New Age, witchcraft, that has crafted a sound that produces a euphoric high that pulls you away from the truth into blindness. It imitates the way the Holy Spirit works; it's emotionally driven, it's experience-based and it's exactly what Paul's talking about in I Corinthians:
I Corinthians 12: [2] Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
"That music, when you study it, and if you don't study it you don't know about this stuff and the euphoria it produces hooks you in the sensualness of it . . . it's designed to carry you away, to lead you away into darkness, to captivate your mind and your emotions and make them the captains of your faith.
"Listen, music is a powerful, powerful instrument. In Ezekiel 28, the anointed cherub that covers, Satan, he has musical instruments built into himself. He had those instruments and musical talent literally built into him so he could lead creation in the worship of the God of creation, and when he fell he took that with him and he uses that as a lead methodology of carrying people . . . you know you get carried away.
"You get up in the morning and you don't feel so good you just put the music in your ear and it captivates your mind and your thinking. That's how things become emotionally driven.

Deuteronomy 32: [31] For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
[32] For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:[33] Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
"When he talks about the vine, the wine, he's talking about what in Revelation 17 is the fruit and the intoxication produced by this false religion.
"The Antichrist, in the latter days which Deuteronomy is pointing to, he's seen as riding a woman:
[1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters:
[2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication.
[3] So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
"She's able to deceive, to intoxicate the whole population and draw them into her false religion."
