Rhema Bible Church Tulsa, Ok Is In Big Trouble

Craig Hagin, grandson of the late Kenneth E Hagin, Sr., was fired from all positions at Rhema Bible Church by his father, Kenneth Hagin Jr.

Why?

There are allegations of prostitution, pornography and his marriage to Mia is about to end. It's been alleged that Craig engaged in this behavior for over 20 years.

Years ago, Hagin Sr. held Ministerial Integrity Meetings for pastors and ministers only.

I've tried to locate any videos or tapes of these meetings but none were made available. I could be wrong, but it appears that Hagin Sr. had these meetings for a specific purpose.

Money and sexual immorality crept into the charismatic movement and was a direct threat to the faith message.

Well, Hagin Sr. had his own integrity and credibility issues with plagiarism in one of his books.

Kenneth Hagin Jr. appeared stunned about the allegations of his son, Craig but the sister of Craig's wife, spilled the beans about the coverup that Rhema engaged in to preserve the ministry.

It appears that Kenneth Hagin Jr. and his wife Lynette knew about Craig's sin for over 20 years, so to get out ahead of the discovery is nothing more than a coverup. To cover things up, you can't tell the truth. You run the risk of losing everything. To be diengenuous is to conceal a matter to save the ministry.

Never mind repentance and getting it right before God.

As Kenneth Hagin Jr. was reading from a prepared PR statement to save face but Mark 8:35 (NKJV) says, "For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it."

You can see that during the reading of that PR statement, in the audience, there were empty seats. They were losing people for a long time.

Up in the balcony section ofd Rhema Bible Church, there's dark curtains so when the camera pans around, you don't see the empty seats.

The Faith Dome in Crenshaw CA with Fred Price Jr., you see the same thing. The Faith Dome is cut in half.

Large black drapes to cover the empty seats.

So they perpetrated a faith lie.

"Pastors don't need to look at empty seats because it will bring your faith down. So cover the seats with drapes to avoid being discouraged."

For years, the Rhema coverup apparently cost them and when Craig and Mia were arrested for animal cruelty, the back story remained hidden until Mia's sister, Missie, released a stunning account of the Hagin's coverup of Craig's sin of porn and prostitutes.

Years ago, Craig was allegedly involved in sexual immorality with a Rhema staffer and many people had left the ministry and church. Kenneth Hagin Sr. allegedly was doing his best to confront his grandson but it wasn't enough. The damage was done. Soon after, Kenneth Hagin Sr., passed away at 86 in 2003.

Luke 12:2 (NKJV)

"For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known."

These things isn't just a charismatic ministry problem but these issues exists in denominational churches as well (remember Steve Lawson?).

So we shouldn't just be one sided about the issue.

However, we must declare that whenever you deal with strange doctrine, money, and sexual immorality sins, it can't be separated.

We see this with Mike Bickel of IHOPKC, Ravi Zacharias, Todd Bentley, Dr. Michael Brown, Benny Hinn and Paula White and others.

It's not that God had had enough.

God never tolerated this at all.

Yes, the Lord is merciful, gracious, and kind, but we must also declare that God never tolerated it to begin with.

God is merciful and forgives sin when we confess our sins. "He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

False doctrine coming from charismatics, Word of Faith, and NAR is 1 Timothy 4:1-2, and their teachers will perish in hell (see 2 Peter chapter 2).

To say that God is tired of it is error.

Numbers 32:23 (NKJV)

"But if you do not do so, then take note, you have sinned against the LORD; and be sure your sin will find you out."

Psalms 90:7-8 (NKJV)

"For we have been consumed by Your anger,

And by Your wrath we are terrified.

You have set our iniquities before You,

Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance."

Hebrews 4:13 (NKJV)

"And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account."

1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (NKJV) "For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged. But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world."

Romans 14:10b-12 (NKJV) "For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. For it is written:

“As I live, says the LORD,

Every knee shall bow to Me,

And every tongue shall confess to God.”

So then each of us shall give account of himself to God."
