There are some weird correlations there; definitely cross-fertilization (thinking in particular of NAR prophets that strike me as New Age gurus but with Jesus πŸ˜‚). Best of luck on the dissertation!

Spiritual Mapping - Part 4 - Spiritual Mapping and Japan
YouTube video by ThatDemonProf Spiritual Mapping - Part 4 - Spiritual Mapping and Japan

In his efforts to prove the efficacy of Spiritual Mapping, Japan became an unlikely target of C. Peter Wagner's critique. It's also one of the few examples that he gives that fails the evidence test, even if one accepts his apologetic premises.

That was not on my bingo card. I guess he doesn't want to refer to himself as an apostle in this context. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Part 2 of the Spiritual Mapping series is on the so-called "10/40 Window." If you've been close to Christian missions at some point in your life, you might know of it (but maybe not the demon stuff!).

A few people on the channel have suggested that I do some shorts to drum up viewers. 3 released today summarizing Jezebel Spirit, Abaddon, and the Papal Beast. Navigate on over and take a look!

'I rebuke you in the name of Jesus': GOP rep explodes at Johnson in closed-door meeting NOTUS is reporting that emotions are running high in Republican meetings over a GOP budget threatening to add up to $5.8 trillion to the nation’s deficit and potentially raise the nation’s debt to 214...

Yeah, but what happened after that? Like, did a bunch of pigs rush into the Capitol Reflecting Pool and drown?
