I don’t know much about Mark Chironna. Only that he partnered and pal’d around with Kim Clement a few years back. He’s been around for a long time but I grew interested in him when some of his teaching was brought to my attention -
At Chironna’s website we find what could only be the end result of a mastered mix of psychology, psychic beliefs and the bible. I say “mastered” because as you read his stuff the thinking is hmmmm…that sounds right. But, ahh, remember, discernment is not knowing the difference between right and wrong, but right and ALMOST right per our friend gone before us- Charles Spurgeon. Mark’s teaching is just like the false prophetic as life becomes all about ME, who I am, who I was created to be; destiny in the making. Mark takes this one step further as he gives out a process in how to make that happen. But the word of our God says nothing like this. It is all about Jesus Christ and our lives are to mirror His image, not one of our own making. (We) put on the new man who is renewed in the knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. Colossians 3:10.
Mark may speak against new age heretics, but his teaching and explanation of the word shows him to be another pea in the pod of poo. He calls himself a “bishop”, a PhD-er, appears to be a very well paid “life coach” and is part of Peter Wagner’s New Apostolic Reformation which makes him another very dangerously deceived false apostle building a kingdom of his own. This makes him part of the “speak it into existence” crowd, more commonly known as the word of faith.
This video from BarnumandBentley shows Chironna’s connection with psychic and new age websites as he peddles his wares. Pardon, but there’s a snappy tune with the video. I kinda like it.
I began to do the research late this morning and found other sites who were putting up warnings against Mark. I read that he is to be the host on TBN tonight, although I cannot confirm it on their site, not sure why. So, since there seems to be a sudden interest on the web, God may be trying to tell us, or better Mark’s followers, the truth.
Again, I am reminded of this scripture, which seems to have been the bedrock for me in my search for the truth – Colosssians 2:8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power.
Philosophy and psychology are man made truths, and in themselves have nothing to do with God. To mix these ideas and fantasies with the word of God is to corrupt the true meaning of salvation. We are nothing without redemption for God gives us all that we need from His word.
If you are a follower of Mark’s, please take the time to compare his teachings with what the bible says. They are not the same teachings.

Yep, here’s that “fusion” thing with Kim Clement and Lance Wallnau
The training sessions, roundtables, meetings, and Fusion manual are designed to build one on another so that you gradually become saturated in a prophetic apostolic atmosphere.
I wouldn’t suggest saturation in this atmosphere – yikes.
Watch the video – What a showman! Are those in the audience so worked up by his shouting and jumping and the organ music played for emphasis that they cannot hear the lie he told them that —-God spoke Jesus into existence???—-

Jesus is the great I AM. John 8:58
God spoke to Moses – I AM WHO I AM and to the children of Israel Moses was to tell them I AM has sent me to you. Exodus 3:14
Jesus is the Word, existing with God and as God. John 1
Chironna can’t even get the basics of who God is; how can he possibly be trusted with anything else?
Better off forgotten is true and so I’ve deleted our comments.
The prophecy that these so called prophets today prophesy about is the “feel good prophecy” the “everything is gonna be great” type word. These false prophets must be exposed because when scripture is studied, the truth reveals that The Most High God had prophets who spoke the truth and were excruciatingly persecuted for prophesying the word of The Most High God. The Holy Bible is the same yesterday, today, and forever. The Most High God does not change and anyone who teaches otherwise is a liar and a thief according to the Holy Word of The Most High God. Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?”
Hi Phil. TRUTH!
Thanks for commenting and pointing out the difference between the false prophets and the true ones. False prophets are loved by many, and sought after for their words. There is indeed a big difference between the two. The church has become as star struck as Hollywood itself.
Blessings!
Mkayla, You have it the nail on the head when you say that the church has become as star struck as Hollywood. I once heard (in church) that 2 very well known names in the apostolic & prophetic were to hold conferences in the future & there was a SWOON over the entire congregation!
That should say “hit the nail on the head”, not “it”!
I would not doubt that “swoon” one bit Katie. It is so sad, and even scary to see how far we have moved from the truth. Our lives are supposed to be about Jesus Christ, but this false prophetic (and all that goes along with it) has warped our lives into being all about us. Hmmm, I believe it was John the Baptist who said “I must decrease, He must increase”. We will not find such a clear and simple truth spoken by the false prophets or apostles (insert proper title) of today.

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ says “beware of wolves dressed in sheeps clothing” and that there will be many who claim they are Him “The Christ”.
Do not be deceived!
The Apostle Paul says what fellowship is there between light and darkness?
We are definitely without a doubt in the last days, however “He who endures to the end will be saved.”
Only Christ Jesus saves!
God Bless You!
