About

Welcome! My name is Steven, and this blog is the outworking of something the Lord has done in my life—a journey from experience-driven faith toward the sufficiency and authority of God’s Word.

For years, I was part of the Charismatic movement. I genuinely loved the Lord, sought after His Spirit, and wanted to live fully surrendered to Him. But much of what I believed and practiced was based more on feelings, impressions, and teachings from well-known voices than on sound doctrine. Like many, I was taught to trust in personal revelation, to chase signs and wonders, and to expect guaranteed healing and prosperity in this life—if I just had enough faith.

But as I studied Scripture more deeply, I began to see the cracks. The more I read the Bible in its proper context, the more I realised that many of the things I’d accepted were simply not there. What I found instead was something far more beautiful: the clarity, consistency, and sufficiency of God’s revealed Word.

Reformed Journey exists to help others walking a similar path. Whether you’re starting to question the Charismatic movement, have already left it, or are trying to reach loved ones still caught in it—this blog is here to encourage you, equip you, and point you to the truth.

You’ll find biblical responses to popular teachings, theological reflections rooted in the historic Christian faith, and practical help for navigating the hard questions. My tone is pastoral, but the convictions are firm. Truth matters—and God’s Word is enough.

Soli Deo Gloria,
Steven

God Told Me: A Westminster View

Image
I was just standing up after the last song in the front few rows of the church we had just attended. I stretched as I looked around for people I needed to talk to. Out of the corner of my eye, a lady, whom we knew, who had supported us, approached me with a smile. She was a kind and friendly lady and prayed for us regularly, which, of course, we appreciated greatly. However, we knew her to be a Christian who firmly believed God gave her visions and dreams for other people. She shook my hand and said, “As I was sitting in church, I saw you and God gave me a word for you, God told me……”  In many churches today, across various denominations—not exclusive to the charismatic church—you will hear well-meaning Christians say, “God told me…,” or “God spoke to me about…,” or “God showed me…” While most often associated with Pentecostal and Charismatic churches, this language is also common throughout Evangelicalism, including some Reformed churches.  One of the most influential books p...

Is the Pope the Antichrist? A Reformed Perspective

Image
The 1.3 billion Catholics in the world have a new Pope. Leo the XIV. In the time of the reformers, he would have been welcomed by the protestants of the day as the Antichrist. As modern-day protestants, we can, and should agree, that at the very least the Pope is the leader of an idolatrous theology, which includes the rejection of justification of faith alone, the claims of papal infallibility and the veneration and/or outright worship of Mary and the saints.  But is Pope Leo XIV the Antichrist?  Because I grew up in a Pentecostal charismatic church, it follows that I had a Dispensational Premillennial understanding of end-time events. This means that the Antichrist was always just over the horizon. He would be a charismatic political leader, possibly from Europe, who would one day sign a peace treaty with Israel, rebuild the temple in Jerusalem, and unleash global deception during a seven-year Tribulation. Scriptures like Daniel 9, 2 Thessalonians 2, and Revelation 13 were i...

God spoke Jesus into existence??

Image
“So when he created the first man, he just spoke him into existence and just like that, it happened. But after sin entered this earth, after we gave that dominion to Satan, God still had to speak the second Adam into existence, but he had to do it through people. And the reason it took 4,000 years after the fall of Adam and Eve for Jesus to show up was because he couldn’t speak directly independent of people, he had to speak through people, and there were just very, very, very few people who were in tune enough with the Lord to be able to hear these things and speak these things forth.”                                                                                                                    ...
