THE "CIRCLE MAKER" HERESY: WITCHCRAFT IN THE CHURCH
Beginning and End has an excellent audio about what we previously posted on here:
http://ratherexposethem.blogspot.com/2013/06/nancy-leigh-demoss-hearts-revived-but.html, in which we showed how Mark Batterson has introduced the "circle maker" myth and occultic practice.
This is the audio:

A book called “The Circle Maker” has made the rounds through churches as the latest “new method” to access untold blessings from God. Written by Pastor Mark Batterson of National Community Church in Washington D.C., The Circle Maker teaches a new method of prayer by drawing a circle either on the ground or in the Bible based on an old Jewish legend from the Talmud and misuses verses from the Bible to put a new spin on the Prosperity Gospel heresy that wrongly teaches that Christians can receive whatever material blessing they want from God. Not only is this a false teaching and heresy, it is also embracing concepts from witchcraft. The popularity of this book among Christians is yet another sign of the growing apostasy as the church moves away from the Bible to adopt any new method even if it is linked to the occult.
