What a Tragedy ‘Prophet’ Kobus van Rensburg

Kobus Van Rensburg - Man in Gods Image - http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/photos-ak-sf2p/v233/180/62/643502290/s643502290_541061_645.jpgPlease 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.

    What do you have to say to children born deformed who are Christian and now have to spent eternity on earth with down syndrome for instance. You know your way of thinking is totally and utterly warped. How can you be so blind.

  2. blank Elmarie A says:

    Did you hear about Kobus van Rensburg when he appeared on The Carte Blanche Tv program perhaps?

    Oh and note Kobus says this below: ‘Or as Romans 2:7 says, we must seek immortality. Now we are not made to die, that’s right. Everybody fights death. We are not made to die.’

    Well well can you see what I see Debbie, clearly Kobus uses half quoted Scripture like you did. You know it is just so sad that people like Kobus van Rensburg has mislead so many people. I hate the sin’s that people like he commit. Romans 12:9

    The actual Scripture reads : Romans 2:7 (Amplified Bible) 7 To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [[a]springing from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [[b]the eternal blessedness of] immortality, He will give eternal life.

    A part of this program as transcribed:
    Healing the People?
    Date: 21 August 2005 12:00
    Show: Carte Blanche

    Kobus: ‘And if we are not the generation that is not going to break through, there is a generation that shall not die’.

    Paul: ‘Mmm. Ha, ha, ha. Now that’s interesting. But I think Christianity really embraces death. And Paul says for me to live is for Christ to die again. I would much rather, in fact, die and go to heaven.’

    Kobus: ‘Or as Romans 2:7 says, we must seek immortality. Now we are not made to die, that’s right. Everybody fights death. We are not made to die.’

    Paul: ‘But I don’t think that is what is at the heart of Christianity. I don’t think Christianity can be reduced to the healing of physical ailment.’

    But Kobus has found a way to spread his healing touch far afield. Spirit Word prints thousands of so-called ‘Kobus cloths’ a month – blessed and signed by him. On the flipside they advertise the TV channel and Spirit Word contacts.

    Ruda: ‘Isn’t that a bit of a gimmick, if not a flyer, that you are handing out?’

    Kobus: ‘I think we see more miracles with the cloths than with people coming to the meetings.’

    And for an electronic blessing, you can place your hand on his handprint on the website or, just get anointed through your TV…

    Kobus: ‘So in the name of the Lord Jesus I anoint you.’

    I utterly reject the kingdom of this world.

    Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews. But my kingdom is not from the world.” (Joh 18:36)

    There is only one Gospel:

    For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. (1Co 15:3-5)

    Do you count your false gospel as fruit?

    But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ. For I would have you know, brothers, that the gospel that was preached by me is not man’s gospel. For I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (Gal 1:8-12)

    I’ll stand with the Word of God:

    For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.
    (Phi 1:21)

    Sorry. No nastiness intended. But jealous of what? You have your treasure here on earth that is going to be burned. I look forward to a new heaven and a new earth and a new city:

    But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, and then the heavens will pass away with a roar, and the heavenly bodies will be burned up and dissolved, and the earth and the works that are done on it will be exposed. Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. (2Pe 3:10-13)

    Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.” And he who was seated on the throne said, “Behold, I am making all things new.” Also he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.” And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” (Rev 21:1-8)

    Be warned. You are not a christ in the flesh:

    And this is love, that we walk according to his commandments; this is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, so that you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh. Such a one is the deceiver and the antichrist. Watch yourselves, so that you may not lose what we have worked for, but may win a full reward. Everyone who goes on ahead and does not abide in the teaching of Christ, does not have God. Whoever abides in the teaching has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting, for whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works. (2Jo 1:6-11)

    Amanda.

    Advert in last week’s local newspaper (Klerksdorp).

    “Salvation is just around the corner” = “Come to Spirit World Ministries…” And this came from another supporter and many others has put Kobus on that pedestal.

    …..oh the veil of pride that blinds the nation

  11. blank Jo-Ann says:

    Touch not my annointed and do my prophets no harm!!!!!!!!

  12. blank Amanda says:

    Jo-Ann

    Are you saying that Kobus is anointed and a true prophet? If so, see his prophecies here.

    Come on in and begin to sing
    Of the glory of the living One staying on the inside of you

    Remember, you’re with Me in My throne
    Together we will reign and we will rule
    On this earth and in this day

    It’s time to press in and step right inside of Me
    For it’s in the Christ that you live and move and have your being

    You’re not of this world, you are from a different kind
    You’ve got the Christ-life rising up on the inside of you

    You can only realise – on the inside of you, you are rising to the fullness, the stature
    Nothing less than Christ’s own size

    Is Kobus a christ? Is he the same size as Jesus Christ? Does he reign on the throne with God? Or are these all false prophecies?

  13. blank Elmarie A says:

    Jo-Ann

    Touch not my annointed and do my prophets no harm!!!!!!!!

    And who appointed your prophets ?
    Do you know that these self appointed prophets are scamsters? They deceive and lie to people. Jo-Ann do you know what the word discernment mean in a Biblical context?

    I will repeat Deborah’s question to Debbie to you as well.

    What do you have to say to children born deformed who are Christian and now have to spent eternity on earth with down syndrome for instance. You know your way of thinking is totally and utterly warped. How can you be so blind.

    Jo-Ann will you please go read in the Bible about False Prophets. Then come tell us if you believe what is written about this in the Bible. It should keep you busy for some time.

  14. blank Elmarie A says:

    Jo-Ann

    You have 10 questions to answer. Please answer these questions honestly.

  15. blank Jo-Ann says:

    Oh there is no question that Prophet Kobus is an annointed prophet of God.
    I cannot understand why you have this anger and doubt about Prophet Kobus an his ministry. What if you are wrong about him. Do you really want to face the wrath of God for trying to hurt a prophet of God. (Just by-the-way there is no way that you can touch him – His boss will sort you out)

  16. blank Amanda says:

    Jo-Ann

    The way it looks to me, these prophecies claim that Kobus is equal to Jesus Christ. What is your interpretation?

  17. blank Elmarie A says:

    Jo-Ann

    Last chance is over you did not answer any of the 10 questions. In fact you have not read anything on this whole page. We deal with people like you everyday. Your ears are closed and you are blind. Go talk your nonsense elsewhere now ok. Don’t come back your comments will be deleted. You are wasting our time with your little games.

    Titus 3:10 (Amplified Bible)
    10[As for] a man who is factious [a heretical sectarian and cause of divisions], after admonishing him a first and second time, reject [him from your fellowship and have nothing more to do with him],

  18. blank Jo-Ann says:

    Take care and do not be deceived please.

    Luke 21:7-9 (New International Version)
    7″Teacher,” they asked, “when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are about to take place?” 8 He replied: “Watch out that you are not deceived. For many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am he,’ and, ‘The time is near.’ Do not follow them. 9When you hear of wars and revolutions, do not be frightened. These things must happen first, but the end will not come right away.”

  24. blank Amanda says:

    Tessa

    May I ask you the same question I asked Debbie and Jo-Ann. Take a look at the prophesies from your pastor’s website. The way it looks to me, these prophecies claim that Kobus is equal to Jesus Christ. What is your interpretation?

  25. blank Jo-Ann says:

    Please read the about page of this blog.

  27. blank Elmarie A says:

    Amanda

    Thank you for the link and Yes I do agree with you, I see what you are saying Yikes!!!

    These words in the Word comes to mind :

    John 12:39-41 (Amplified Bible)

    39Therefore they could not believe [they were unable to believe]. For Isaiah has also said,
    40He has blinded their eyes and hardened and benumbed their [callous, degenerated] hearts [He has made their minds dull], to keep them from seeing with their eyes and understanding with their hearts and minds and repenting and turning to Me to heal them.
    41Isaiah said this because he saw His glory and spoke of Him.(A)

  28. blank Tessa says:

    The truth hurts doesnt it!!!!

  29. blank Amanda says:

    Tessa

    Your true and anointed prophet seems to claim equality with Jesus Christ. Deal with that ‘truth’ or leave.
