What a Tragedy ‘Prophet’ Kobus van Rensburg
Please go here to read more about Kobus van Rensburg:
[NEWS UPDATE – Kobus van Rensburg claims God healed him, and is telling all his followers this. It has come to my attention that Kobus van Rensburg is in remission, BUT he did receive medication and Chemotherapy. Kobus van Rensburg is still preaching Latter Rain Manifest Sons of God teaching and even more so promoting that one can be IMMORTAL on earth. He also teaches his followers that they are Christ. Please read the comments below (there are many of them) to see the degree of heresy and insanity taught by Kobus van Rensburg. Also note his followers are not shy in threatening those who stand again Kobus van Rensburg.]
It’s a Tragedy
It has come to my attention that Kobus van Rensburg from Spirit Word Ministries has cancer and is very ill from what I have heard. His wife Annalise is appearing more and more on his Spirit Word TV channel instead of Kobus as he battles to speak or is just not well enough. There is very little information about this on the Internet. Almost as if no one is supposed to find out.
I wrote an article on Kobus here about 2 years ago exposing him as a false prophet, who proclaimed thousands healed from cancer and HIV/AIDS, etc. He still is a false teacher – nothing has changed, except he himself now has cancer.
So back to Kobus, and thinking about this situation of his. The only thoughts that come to my mind is; ‘what a tragedy’. Here is a man who you can’t even approach and say,
“Dear Kobus, have you heard about Jesus Christ. He is the ONLY One who can save you. Repent of your sin, repent of everything you have done. It makes no difference what you have done, God forgives everyone who comes to Him asking for forgiveness. Jesus Christ the Son of God gave His life so that you may receive eternal life – if you want it. If you don’t want it and prefer to try be your own little god, you WILL fail and you WILL find yourself facing eternal punishment for doing exactly what Adam and Eve did by falling for Satan’s lie, ‘You surely will not die if you want to be like God?’ Well, yes Kobus you will.
Genesis 3:4-5
4 “The serpent said to the woman, “You surely will not die!
5 “For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
Satan wanted to like God:
Isaiah 14:14
14 ‘I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.’
Satan is the father of Lies:
John 8:44
“You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth because there is no truth in him. Whenever he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own nature, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
How easy it is for Satan to lead men astray:
2 Corinthians 11:3
But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ.
There is a face book site dedicated to Kobus van Rensburg (having said that it does not state what’s wrong with him). All you will find is people leaving comments praying for him to get well soon. You will see the theme of ‘immortality’ come across through the many comments left. You see Kobus van Rensburg has reached godhood, and is therefore immortal. Are you confused? Don’t worry. Me too. Apparently in Latter Rain / Manifest Sons of God teaching you can be dead and alive all at the same time….I think.
Facebook: Kobus Van Rensburg will live and not die!!!!!
Now, it’s all very well to pray for Kobus to get well and that God heals him, but without Kobus coming to the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved all hope is lost.
Kobus went to see T B Joshua (Church of All Nations SCOAN) in Nigeria and reported that after coming back to SA had a great anointing of power in his life. Well Kobus, with the demonic power given to you, you were given demonic cancer as well.
“Repent Kobus, before it’s too late. You are not immortal, you are not a god, you are a sinner in dire need of a Saviour and that Saviour is Jesus Christ the Son of God, who gave His life that you may be saved. Through genuine repentance of your sin (everything you have done) and believing in Jesus Christ through faith you can be saved. You might not beat this cancer Kobus, but you will beat a 2nd death and receive eternal life if only you turn from your wickedness and ask God forgiveness through His Only begotten Son Jesus Christ. Humble yourself for once before the One and Only Living God like everyone else on this earth will have to do sooner or later. Get on your knees Kobus, you are no better than anyone else on this earth of ours. I repent every day of my life for the sinner that I am who needs constant saving. What makes you think you are so special? You are not! Ask God for forgiveness before it’s too late”.
If anyone can find more information on Kobus’ condition, it would be appreciated. I have contacted Spirit Word Ministries and received no reply.

you the owner of this website seem very arrogant and judgemental and seem consumed about ‘fact’finding .. hah … about others and the stumblng block is you dont see the gospel in all its glory because of the beam in your own eye. i bet you are a non-charasmatic and not baptised in the Holy Spirit. The bible speaks of you as one of those of the ‘bond wowman’ who lives ‘in the flesh’, cain v abel, jacob v esau etc and many other analagies who would persecute his own ‘brother’!! are you still sooooo blind and dont see your ownself in the bible yet? repent and believe and be- live ‘The Gospel’and God will have mercy upon you. Judge and you will be judged, for with the same measure you judge others you will be judged the same, put away the pointing of finger from amongst you, i want to know nothing else amongst you except Christ and Him crucified,love one another even as i have loved you, also love your enemy as yourself, is kubos your enemy then even then you MUST love him as you love yourself or else you are nothing but a religiuos hipocrite yourself and have the tennacity to point fingers allday at others!! HUH … get on with your own part in letting The Lord love you so that in turn you can love others thou hipocrite!!
Gosh, I didn’t realise that praying for Kobus van Rensburg would cause such trauma among his followers. Well sorry, but my prayer stands that he come to know Jesus Christ that he be saved.
not necessary,
A lot of words spoken, yet not much said! What’s the point of a discernment website and there’s no discernment… get the point!?

Dear Sister in Christ
I am sorry you feel that way about a Man of God. I believe we are all Children of God even you and Prophet Kobus. I also know that if knew the Van Rensburg family you wouldn’t be posting false reports about them. They have the most awesome faith in Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross. The whole point of there ministry is that the Word of God reach everyone in the world and lead them to Jesus. In the the end no matter what you believe, if we believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and our everything and that he washes us clean from all sin and therefore to be rightoeus in his sight then we are all his family and family love each other. I therefore tell you sister in Christ that I love you and bless you with all the blessings of Christ. Remember we all have a part to play in the body of Christ.
Yours Sincerely
Not Necessary
>> I am sorry you feel that way about a Man of God
Which God?
>> I believe we are all Children of God even you and Prophet Kobus
I am a child of the God that calls us to REPENTANCE of Sin – not the god that preaches another Manifest Sons of God teaching where Kobus thinks he is immortal and a little god.
>> I also know that if knew the Van Rensburg family you wouldn’t’t be posting false reports about them.
It’s got nothing to do with feelings and knowing them personally. If I knew them personally I would say the same thing right to Kobus van Rensburg’s face. I am sure he has been spoken to many a time about this. These are not false reports about him. You can see and hear everything he has to say on Spirit Word TV.
>> They have the most awesome faith in Jesus Christ and what he did for us on the cross.
Having the most awesome faith in a false doctrine and another Christ is rather pointless is is not? Having faith in a Christ who lies to them and has nailed himself to the cross in Kobus van Rensburg church (the Roman Catholic crucifix he has hanging on the wall – The Eucharist Christ who’s mother is the goddess of fertility – a blasphemous incestuous Christ (the Roman Catholic Mary (the whore) in Revelations who’s cup overflows with the blood of the saints).
Rev 17:3-6
3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a desert. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns.
4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries.
5 This title was written on her forehead:
MYSTERY
BABYLON THE GREAT
THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES
AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus.
Who do you bare testimony too? The whore of Babylon that hangs in Kobus van Rensburg church and all his lying signs and wonders or the Gospel of Jesus Christ the SON OF GOD.
>> The whole point of there ministry is that the Word of God reach everyone in the world and lead them to Jesus.
The whole point of the Gospel of Jesus Christ is to lead each INDIVIDUAL in the world to individually repent of their sin. The whole point of Kobus ministry is another gospel of money, false signs and wonders, false healings, and leading people to ANOTHER Christ who does not require that people humble themselves before him, but elevate themselves up to God’s level to be like him –
Genesis 3:1-5
1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden,
3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”
4 “You will not surely die,” the serpent said to the woman.
5 “For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
>> In the the end no matter what you believe, if we believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and our everything and that he washes us clean from all sin and therefore to be righteous in his sight then we are all his family and family love each other.
So you can believe in anything and Jesus Christ and you are saved? Wrong. Jesus says HE is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIFE – No one comes to the FATHER but by HIM (that by the way EXCLUDES anything else). If you add other false doctrines to the equation you cancel out your salvation.
>> I therefore tell you sister in Christ that I love you and bless you with all the blessings of Christ. Remember we all have a part to play in the body of Christ.
Therefore we do not form part of the same family for I follow Jesus Christ the Son of God who died for me and his blood washes me clean only because I REPENT of my SIN and remain REPENTANT of my sins on a daily basis. I test all things by the Holy Spirit who abides in me and councils me in all things that are good and pure. He convicts me of sin and guides me that I steer clear from FALSE teaching and lying men. Of course we all have free will to ignore the Holy Spirit on these issues and follow after wickedness and things of the flesh.
>> Remember we all have a part to play in the body of Christ.
What part is this? The part where you follow after a false Christ that leads people to hell?
I guess this is what you believe and nothing that I can say will change your mind, you must have blessed life in Christ and may you experience all the peace there is in The WORD(The Bible).
Yours in Christ
May the Spirit of Lord be with you always
Oh my word….it’s a miracle, unless someone is lying.
Quote from
Denise Herselman – Grace upon Grace……8 days before Prophet married us on the 14th Feb 2009 he was given 7 days to live. 9 months later he is healed. All glory to God…..Prayers continue for strength and full and total restoration. Watch this space we are witnessing a great miracle. How GREAT is our GOD!!!!!
Hmmmm….
Anyhow I see he now has a travel agency too as part of his ministry. No, no, not a spiritual travel portal or gateway, a REAL travel agency: SPIRIT WORD TRAVEL DESK where “WE CARE ENOUGH TO MAKE YOUR TRIP SPECIAL”
Not necessary
Well that was a quick cop-out. Can’t answer my questions? Well I do hope what I have said makes you think a little about what you believe. Cos it is clear as per your comment that we do believe differently.
I do not accept your blessing for it is from another god.
Deborah
You are just too spiritually blind to see that Prophet Kobus is actually the real thing.
Jane
What is the definition of “thing”?
I really and truly hope that the scales will fall of your eyes so that I don’t have to explain what I mean, you should pray long and hard about this and find the answer for yourself.
JANE
Secondly answer me this. He does or does not have cancer? I am hearing conflicting reports. Surely you can answer this one?
Now please explain to me why he is not false: You came on my site telling me I am wrong, so I want you to tell me why I am wrong. If possible please use scripture to back up why you are right.
If you can’t explain what you mean and expect a ‘miracle’ of sorts to happen to me that I see the ‘thing’ that Kobus is, then that happened long ago already when the Holy Spirit show me the evil that this man operates from.
So please do us all a favour and tell us whey Kobus is a Prophet and a real genuine man from God.
If you can’t tell me why, then I think you need to pray and ask God why you can’t answer this simple question, is it possible that you are the one who has been blinded? God will then instruct you to take your bible and search the Scriptures to see if Kobus van Rensburg preaches the Gospel of Jesus Christ or not.
And after all the informaton I have given you on Kobus and TB Joshua you have a very good place to start looking – given you information on a silver platter for FREE – no change JANE. Just me caring that you are not deceived and that you break free from the lies that is Kobus van Rensburg.
oh by the way, I think a lot of people are actually blind, spiritually and leading on to physical blindness. a quick search showed me more than 10 photo’s where Kobus v R is wearing the roman catholic cross. and none of these blind people ask: why? (http://et-ee.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=541078&op=1&o=global&view=global&subj=61010865387&id=643502290)
Oh boy…. it is the longsuffering of Christ which leads men to repentance….
cecilia
Deborah, I nearly made the biggest mistake of my life 5 years ago, to study under Kobus v R. someone told me: agh man, even if you don’t agree with the things he say and do, study under his school and ALL doors will be open for you in future!
well well, our Father’s grace is unmeasurable, and He warned me even in my sleep, NOT to go that road… and how grateful I am I listened to Him and not to people…
cecilia

Yip, can’t miss it. It’s so big one would mistake him for being a catholic rap artist.
Dear Deborah and “discerning the World”, you are a devil.Just like judas.
No where in Scripture does Jesus rejoice over someone being sick.What if you got cancer.Judge not lest you be judge.
You are suppose to pray for your enemy not wish bad,especially cancer for them.
People like you are Pharisee that gain one convert and make them twice a devil.You make unsaved people hate church.You are like vomit.
Prophet Michael Carter
If I am not mistaken you are the same person who called me the most terrible names via email back in early 2008. Where you said that TB Joshua and Kobus van Rensburg are going to Heaven and I am going to hell.
Firstly, Michael where have I rejoiced in him being sick? Please quote from the above article that I am happy that he is ill? I do ask if someone can clarify if he is sick.
And you lie and then call me a devil. Hmmm…
Lastly, I see you are a faith healer. Have you contacted Kobus to heal him? Kobus is a faith healer to. Surely 2 strong Prophets like yourselves getting together should produce massive godly fireworks and everyone in a 1km radius of where you are standing should be healed.
Wow,
Kobus must have quite a following Deborah, you have stirred up a hornet’s nest.
For Deborah to be the devil and just like Judas then KVR would be….Jesus? Or the Christ, you know, the anointed one? From what I have read, apparently he is.
Didin’t Jesus Christ (the real one who was raised from the dead and now sits at the right hand of the Father) warn against ‘anointed ones’, ie christs? (Matthew 24)
MC,
You have it backwards.
Jane & Not necessary,
Interesting that we jump to defend a man and even quote scripture to do so. May we have the guts to do so when we have to do it for the Messiah.
If you don’t agree with what is written here, ample scripture references are given in each article. Go and study….under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Then please come back and enter into meaningful dialogue. We can all learn and grow from that!
Deborah, I want to thank you for your site! False teachings and prophets are a growing problem. I was lost in this ‘Charismatic Chaos’ but thank God He opened my eyes and set me free.I humbled myself before Him and repented of my sin, my hard heart needed to be brocken. I wasted so many years of my life running after one spiritual ‘experience’ after the other, glorifying people and not God. His grace is big enough for anyone. I pray that God will strengthen you in the work that you are doing – spreading the true Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Heyyyy lookie here, you have a website 🙂 I’ve noticed a few articles I would like to read and with permission can I post them here?
Hi there, yes no problem, as long as the Word gets out!!!
Thank you very much for that and thank you for your encouragement.
And I know all about that “charismatic chaos”, got 2 t-shirts, 1 cap and an instructional dvd on how to bind that strongman over and over and over again lol.
Charismatic chaos is also the title of a very good book.
I HAVE ALSO BEEN TO ALOT OF CHURCHES AND ONLY BECAME A BETTER CHRISTIAN WHEN I STARTED GOING TO CHARISMATIC CHURCHES AND I KNOW THAT SOME PEOPLE CAN GET CAUGHT UP IN SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCES BUT THE ONLY REASON I GO IS BECAUSE I’M BEING TAUGHT THE TRUTH AND NOT MAN MADE DOCTRINES(LIKE THE RAPTURE).
Yes, I read that book!! There’s many people who should read it too!!! Even people who are not part of the “charismatic chaos” so that they can be warned not to go that route, and what to be aware of. It’s unfortunate how people put feelings and experiences above the authority of the Bible. I did that too 🙁
Jane
Did you know that you can find the truth in the Word of God.
Why is being ‘Caught up’ a man made doctrine? Scripture to back this up please? Seeing as though you go to be taught you should be able to provide back up for your comment.
Jane
You never answered my last questions to you. You seem to know a lot about Kobus van Rensburg. Does he or does he not have cancer?
Jane
Do you believe that you will be a god on earth? Kobus preaches this, that he is immortal and has become a little god. If Kobus preaches the truth, then this is something you believe right?
Not much has changed – People (still) calling the author “a devil”… Please bring a better argument to the table!
Fault finding / personal attack – seems to continue as usual… Funny how one is accused of being critical, judgmental, etc. for simply quoting scripture!
Again, the articles are relevant, speaks of warning and are very appropriate for the times we live in.
If you have a problem with the content of this site, then save your bandwidth and at the same time relieve those who engage in constructive conversation of the painful experience to read your thoughts!
Cheers

Rejoice that the Lord showed you the truth and you can now warn others.
What saddens me is when people refuse the Truth. We warn, but we can not save people. We plant a seed and pray that they obey the Holy Spirit voice and listen. If not, there is nothing we can do. But we carry on for out of thousands if there is one that hears, it’s worth it.
Everyone speaks of revival, transformation, etc, etc. Everyone seems to be coming to Christ. Which Christ is the most important question we always need to ask. And quite frankly it’s very easy to distinguish between the two – but only through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Without Him there is no discernment.
