The rulers’ spirit has risen up. Submit to the ruler.
Don’t allow that demon that talks to your mind all the time…
Is he referring to himself? That’s who is talking to us all the time.
… “he thinks he’s God.” Even if I did think I was God, [and he does] you know it’s not true.
Perhaps that’s the problem he has in penetrating their mindset – they are not buying that he is God, which he does teach and believe. His struggle is always in that he wants them to believe it too.
Derek Prince says:
Almost every passage in the New Testament that relates to the End of the Age contains some kind of warning against being deceived. I’m just going to take two passages from Matthew chapter 24 from the words of Jesus Himself. He was asked what will be the sign of Your coming and of the end of the age. And when He began to answer the first thing He did was to warn His disciples against being deceived.
So He said in Matthew 24, 4, and 5. Take heed that no one deceives you. For many will come in My Name saying I am the Messiah and will deceive many.
Then in the same chapter, in verse 23 and following. Jesus says, then if anyone says to you “Look here is the messiah, or there, do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will arise and show [be] great Signs and wonders so as to deceive, if possible, even the very elect. See, I have told you beforehand.” So Jesus says, you can’t say I didn’t warn you. (Matthew 24:23)
So you have truth in three related aspects
- The truth is Jesus
- The truth is the Bible
- The truth is the Spirit
In order to know for sure that you really have the truth you have to check all three coordinates. Jesus, the Bible, and the Spirit. For instance, somebody may preach a whole lot about Jesus, and it may sound very good, but when you check your Bible it isn’t what the Bible says about Jesus. [This we find with Brother Stair’s preachings].
Or somebody may preach a great deal about the Holy Spirit, and work up an atmosphere of tremendous excitement and exhilaration, but when you really check it, that person is not teaching the truth about Jesus. Or a person may lay great emphasis on the Bible and the scripture, but have nothing of the Spirit – it’s just dead letter.
So, in order to be sure that you have the truth you have to have three things in place.
- Is it true to Jesus?
- Is it true to the Bible?
- And does it have the witness of the Spirit?
When you can put those three things together, then you may be confident that you have the truth.
Why We Are Here
This is why we are here to put the Bible into what Brother Stair teaches and we show you how his teachings and doctrines not only do not have the truth of the Bible in them but that they are most often completely contrary to what the Bible says and teaches. While the Overcomer focuses you on an emphasis on the witness of the Spirit, the only thing it has to do with Jesus is that He is coming – so you’d better fear and come to us for your protection.
This false witness is sold to us as the only thing needed to verify the prophet. After that, we are to solely listen to and obey the prophet – rather than God. This is why another false teaching of Brother Stair’s is that the prophet represents God in your midst. That is error and heresy. This is not the truth of the Spirit. You were warned to test the spirits on the prophets.
Thus, Brother Stair’s, and now Pastor Rices’ alike, are void of these three truths. They do not pass the test.
Brother Stair set himself up as the new Jesus, the current Son of Man, the one that is greater than Jesus – thus he replaced Jesus. That’s not the truth of Jesus. Brother Stair excommunicated you if you didn’t have the witness of the Spirit that he wanted you to have, or if you lost it. Brother Stair would often rail at his congregation for not going along with his quoting or interpretation of the Bible. Because he would say it says what it doesn’t say, then he would put his own spin on top of that and make it say and mean something contrary to what it says. That does not pass the truth test.
In this, we see how Brother Stair and his Overcomer Ministry fail in all three points that Derek Prince makes in the following video. It would do us well to heed these warnings and test these spirits. At the least, you could take an hour and a half to listen and some truth. Rather than spending eternity in a place that deceivers go to.
So here is a better way to sow your time and a warning about Brother Stair’s false Gospel:

Read Your Bible!
In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight (Pr 3:6 NIV78/RSV). What does that tell us about Brother Stair and Pastor Rice? Where you have crooked paths you have people who do not acknowledge God in all their ways – no matter how they speak to the contrary. They are liars! God’s word is true. God’s word will reveal to you the way these men walk. Read your Bible and depart from these worthless idols (Jonah 2:8 NIV84). Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace (Pr 3:17). Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not Thy law (Ps 119:134).
A people without understanding will come to ruin
