To keep things short and sweet to the point, a leech ministry (or a leech minister), is someone who comes along, diligently stalks and combs through an actual ministry, sucks the truth from that ministry, and then repreaches or tries to outdo the original source material, while “correcting” supposed “errors” in that message or preacher.
In other words, it’s a hypocrite and gainsayer attempting to build upon another man’s foundation by stealing another person’s work, and taking their points, twisting them and wresting the scriptures, so they can emulate that person and try to draw away disciples after themselves.
[29] For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. [30] Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them. [31] Therefore watch, and remember, that by the space of three years I ceased not to warn every one night and day with tears.[18] For I will not dare to speak of any of those things which Christ hath not wrought by me, to make the Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, [19] Through mighty signs and wonders, by the power of the Spirit of God; so that from Jerusalem, and round about unto Illyricum, I have fully preached the gospel of Christ. [20] Yea, so have I strived to preach the gospel, not where Christ was named, lest I should build upon another man’s foundation: [21] But as it is written, To whom he was not spoken of, they shall see: and they that have not heard shall understand.Acts 20:29-31; Romans 15:18-21
Today I filmed a bit of a rant video (which you can view below) showing some examples of the leeches that follow The WinePress, qho go through my work (and others), and then look to create dissimulation, strife, and divisions by undercutting my work and trying to get people to stop supporting this ministry.
I already had to do this a few times before, and I had to it again today.
You may recall that in February of this year I did lengthy rebuke of two individuals for their heretical and blasphemous teachings on liberty in the Bible, and how they are making a total mess of things, sowing discord and whispering campaigns against myself and others, and simply biting the hand that feeds them.
To wit, this report is once again rebuking a gainsayer and blasphemer by the name of Philip Newton. If you saw my video I did in February, then you know I more than proved that he is unquestionably a heretic, and a compulsive liar.
Well, not only did he recently leech from my article titled “Are You Awake? Are You Ready For What’s Coming? Do You Loathe The Honeycomb??,” by taking many of same talking points and scriptures, and twisting them around to prove his fallacies and false teachings; he also condemned “news ministries” (meaning me), but then spun right around later in the video and held up MY gospel booklet promoting it! (see below). As I said before, and so I say again, this man is a sociopath. He truly has been given over to a reprobate mind, and is a faker: there’s no question of that at this point.
A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.
James 1:8
That is the most succinct and best verse to describe this man. He has truly lost his mind. How can a man sit there and condemn me one minute, to then only later hold up MY WORK (without crediting me of course) and essentially pass it off as his own, to prop himself up as some great one?
It is a snare to the man who devoureth that which is holy, and after vows to make inquiry.
Proverbs 20:25
I myself am not holy, but what leeches like him do, and others refuted in my video, is they will scarf down all the great preaching and the word of God, but then they come along afterwards and starting praying against that preacher, or start to draw disciples away after themselves, to make a name for themselves. But, if you read my report on the honeycomb, you know what happens to those that devour too much honey for the wrong reasons:
[16] Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee, lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it. [27] It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.Proverbs 25:16, 27
When I think of Proverbs 20:25, I think of Simon the sorcerer in Acts 8. If you recall that story, the apostles were performing signs and wonders, and baptizing those Jews that believed. Simon too “believe” and played along. Afterwards he said,
[18] And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles’ hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money, [19] Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost. [20] But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. [21] Thou hast neither part nor lot in this matter: for thy heart is not right in the sight of God. [22] Repent therefore of this thy wickedness, and pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may be forgiven thee. [23] For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitterness, and in the bond of iniquity. [24] Then answered Simon, and said, Pray ye to the Lord for me, that none of these things which ye have spoken come upon me.Acts 8:18-24
See how it applies? Simon “devoured that which is holy,” and then “after vows to make inquiry.” He then tries to bribe the apostles. The way the magician field works is, during the stage act, the magician has to implement all sorts of misdirects and distractions in order to successful pull off the illusion. Simon is thinking that the baptism is just part of the misdirection, to then deceive the audience into being fooled by the trick. But if you want to know how the trick works, professional magicians are not going to tell you how they did, unless you pull them aside and pay them a pretty penny.
That’s the first application to Proverbs 20:25. The other that I see is this:
[4] When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed. [5] Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. [6] Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands? [7] For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities: but fear thou God.Ecclesiastes 5:4-7
Phil Newton and so many of these other losers who leech off my work, and others I associate with, will routinely pray against and ask others to join them in those vows to God. Take heed, you ministers of Satan: the Lord just might answer your foolish inquiries, and it just might fall back on your heads!
Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
Matthew 23:24
This is what Newton has become. Every little thing myself and King James Video Ministries preach, are put under some electron microscope, and will make a video on the dumbest of critiques; while he himself cannot even understand what the gospel is, what is true liberty for a Christian, charity, and so on.
His most recent video exemplifies this, being the most bitter I’ve seen from him yet. Even someone if the comments called him out:
1 John 2:9-11;”He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. He that loveth his brother abideth in the light, and there is none occasion of stumbling in him. But he that hateth his brother is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and knoweth not whither he goeth, because that darkness hath blinded his eyes.”
Your hatred for Bryan is wrong and against scripture. Repent and make a decision once and for all, is your “ministry” about defaming Bryan or is there a point to these studies? All I see is a brother walking in darkness, a brother that won’t talk about events that are taking place in the world because he wants to stay ignorant to it. The Lord expects us to grow in wisdom and to seek knowledge, how can you do that if you stay in your ignorance and won’t help the brethren, who aren’t ready, to prepare for hard times that ARE coming? You mention the same scripted points in every study, thus making all your studies one continuous rant. Maybe you should apply all that effort to exhorting and aiding the brethren to prepare for tough times ahead, not asking them to pray for what YOU need. I’m very disappointed Philip, and I hope you read this and feel conviction because you’re going down a bad path.
Said “Amanda B.”
Moreover, if you watch my video – if you thought the blunders he made the last time I exposed were bad, then get ready to really roll your eyes, because some of the other claims he makes are asinine!
In short, avoid these people. They are fake. They are liars, and they are actively trying to badmouth my work and cause people to not support this ministry. If you continue to listen to these frauds, they WILL royally mess you up.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).
The WinePress needs your support! If God has laid it on your heart to want to contribute, please prayerfully consider donating to this ministry. If you cannot gift a monetary donation, then please donate your fervent prayers to keep this ministry going! Thank you and may God bless you.
Phillip Newton is trying to sow discord, and especially that part where he said you can commit that one sin that can cause you to lose your salvation?
(Talking to Phillip): so what do you suggest I do? Flagellate myself? Walk around the cathedral on my knees? Speak in charismatic jibber jabber as “evidence of salvation?” That satanic lie nowhere found in scripture spoken by the Vatican’s favorite daughter named pentecostal/charismatic.
I’m glad you’re clearing this up because I want salvation or know it and I need to repent because trust me Jacob, you think you’ve done bad things (and granted you have you’re by no means a “holy man”) but clearly you haven’t met me – and I don’t say that in pride, I say that in as self-judgement.
They suck everything in like leech, but they themselves are little ugly bugs.
They are, and worse: they’re deceivers!
The televangelists and Babel buildings are obvious deceivers, but then you get fake KJB believers they’re more insidious.
Very though-provoking stuff. The enemy is indeed clever. The most dangerous error is that which is close to the truth.
The best way to hide a lie is hide it in truth.
Hmm..who is this other character who is also very unoriginal, a notorious emulator, copy-cat, counterfeiter?
Isaiah 14:12-14
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning!how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!13 For thou hast said in thine heart,I will ascend into heaven,I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation,in the sides of the north:14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
If these “brethren” behave like THE main enemy, refuse to accept scripture about giving money to legit ministries, so hindering the Lord’s work (1 Thess 2:18), or plain scriptures about marriage and children, then…
John 8:43-44
43 Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. 44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
“Funny”, a leech is a type of worm:
Mark 9:44
44 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
46 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
48 where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Amen Brother Jacob. God bless you and your Ministry.
