Dare to walk on the high road with Me, for it is the most direct route to heaven. The low road is circuitous: twisting and turning in agonizing knots. (Jan. 27) The precepts of the LORD are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the LORD are radiant, giving light to the eyes. They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.” Psalm 19: 8, 10 I think Berean Research owes Sarah Young an apology and a retraction. The Bible instructs us to spur one another on not tear down our brothers and sisters in Christ. And, one must ask, is the way to redirect one’s mind to whisper Jesus’ name? Yet these are allegedly the words of Jesus and should be obeyed, if that is true. However, no Scriptural support exists for whispering Jesus’ name as a way to “redirect” the mind.

The special 2014 Jesus Calling, 10th Anniversary Edition attempts to rectify the factually incorrect January 28th and October 15th “messages.” However, the original unbiblical statements about Jesus’ “last words” and “final statement” can still be found in all the twenty or so other varied editions of Jesus Calling as of January 19th, 2016. This includes the new Jesus Calling: Morning and Evening edition published in October 2015—published nearly a year after the corrected 10th anniversary edition.25 The Bible Warns That Confusion is Not From God

I would like to provide some encouragement with regard to this issue. By the Grace of God, there are women in our church who stopped reading this garbage, because God gave us the courage to hand out Mr. Smith’s booklet. To God be the Glory. Others are being warned by word of mouth of the dangers and they are tossing out the book. In turn, they are telling their family members to do the same. There seems to be an increase in seducing spirits preying on women, and they are working through supposed believers. It does cause me to wonder. We can only pray for Sara Young, rebuke her, and warn her with scripture. I have found 35 daily devotionals in Jesus Calling that I wish to share with my son who is hiking the Appalachian Trail this year. Hiking a 2,200-mile trail and walking each day in life’s journey has many parallels. My question to Sarah is whether or not it is appropriate to share publicly the slightly paraphrased version with my son as long as I give credit each time and state that I have paraphrased it slightly to fit my son’s situation.

Very fitting when trying to share problematic red flags without going to God’s Word and using Scripture. We should never attempt to do that! Jesus Calling was given to me by a friend over a year ago and it is and will be a part of my morning connection with God for the rest of my life. Although Russell writes that criteria were used to measure this “guidance,” some of the criteria were quite subjective. Continually seeking guidance in this fashion, which is no different from automatic writing, [14]is opening the door to false doctrine.

The removal of any mention of God Calling from Jesus Calling was not an isolated incident. It was obviously part of a concerted plan to evade some of the questions being raised about the legitimacy of Young’s book. For example, in all the post-2013 printings of Jesus Calling, what Young had originally described as “messages” she received from “God” were suddenly being presented as her own “writings” and “devotions.” This change in wording seemed to remove any suggestion that Young was doing the same kind of channeling that is described in God Calling. Yet Young made it clear in her original introduction to Jesus Calling that this was exactly what she was doing. “Be a Channel” I have some information out of a dental book that I would like to share with Sarah about vertigo. I read her devotional books and wiykcc. Do like to send a case study out of my book? Quote from “Is Deception Calling?” at http://steakandabible.com/2012/07/04/is-deception-calling-a-review-of-jesus-calling-by-sarah-young/ We have few biblical examples of men/women in the actual “Presence of God” but ALL of them describe the person in a most humbled state, perhaps even realizing their own sins more than the glory of God. There is no account of any of these people going about bragging about their “encounter with God”, no account of any of these people encouraging others to seek a similar “experience”, and no account of these people degrading others for not have a similar experience (but this is another of the ‘undertones’ of all those who push their listeners to seek the same nonsense). We do find accounts of Peter and Paul giving a brief summary of their experiences but neither lent itself to bragging, only what was necessary at the time for their hearers. Peter, James and John obeyed Christ and kept their mouth shut after seeing Him in His glory on the Mount of Transfiguration. Warren B.
