Sarah Young, 77, Dies; Created an Empire Around a Christian

Here’s Warren’s 10 Scriptural Reasons Why Jesus Calling is a Dangerous Book, reprinted with permission:According to The Gospel Coalition Australia Edition, Young was diagnosed with an aggressive and rare form of cancer in July 2017. Laura Minchew, senior vice president of the Children’s and Gift Book Group at HarperCollins, was quoted as saying that Young “was a dear friend who will be deeply missed.”

The fact remains that Sarah Young has stated that she was inspired by God Calling to receive her own messages from “Jesus” and described the channeled New Age book as “a treasure to me.” Until she clearly specifies otherwise, we can only assume that where her treasure is, her heart is also. Laura Turner, “ Jesus Calling and the Policing of Theology” ( Religion News Service, November 12, 2015; http://lauraturner. religionnews.com/2015/11/12/ jesus-calling-and-the- policing-of-theology/). Messages began to flow … and I bought a special notebook to record these words,” Young later wrote. “I have continued to receive personal messages from God as I meditate on Him.”

For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. (1 Corinthians 14:33) 5) The Voice of a Stranger 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. A year later, she felt the same Presence while reading Christian author Catherine Marshall’s book about prayer, Beyond Our Selves. In 2004, in one of her rare, carefully staged interviews, Sarah Young was asked by the Christian Broadcasting Network “How did you learn to ‘dialogue’ with God?” She answered that it was from reading the book God Calling:

After walking alone in the snowy Swiss woods, Young felt a Presence—she would always write about it with a capital P—and felt it was the overwhelming personal answer to a question she had only thought was intellectual. She said aloud, “Sweet Jesus.”

This is not a far cry from a practice known as ‘automatic writing’ which Wikipedia describes as ‘an alleged psychic ability allowing a person to produce written words without consciously writing. The words are claimed to arise from a subconscious, spiritual or supernatural source,’” wrote Challies at the time. “This practice is very different from the giving of biblical revelation where God worked through the thoughts, personalities, and even research of the authors.” My son, fear thou the LORD and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change: For their calamity shall rise suddenly; and who knoweth the ruin of them both? (Proverbs 24:21-22) 3) Serving Two Masters For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. (Matthew 24:24) More controversially, Young was also influenced by God Calling, a British record of purportedly divine revelation given to two anonymous women known only as “The Listeners.” It was edited and published by a newspaper editor interested in spiritualism, mystic experiences, and alternative religious authorities. It’s kind of crazy that sometimes you read the passage from that day and it’s exactly what you need to hear,” Wilson said.
