When Sincerely Held Religious Beliefs Become Irrational, Or Just A Scam!

Before I even begin, and in the interest of full disclosure and transparency, I am not a religious person or even a believer. However, I do fully support the First Amendment right to religion.

With That being said, has anyone seen the YouTube and Facebook posts from Apostle Danielle Mitchell from: In His Anointing Global Ministries? They based based in Lenexa, Kansas.

Their website is: http://www.inhisanointingglobalministries.com/

Let’s just say that that Apostle Danielle Mitchell has some beliefs that are far from mainstream. It’s her preaching that I believe is absurd, or maybe even a scam perpetrated on less then educated individuals. Let me lay out my case and then you can decide for yourselves.

Let me start with a short bio of Apostle Danielle Mitchell.  This came direct from the; In His Anointing Global Ministries website, so I can’t verify the accuracy of any of the information provided:

“Danielle Mitchell was born Nov 23, 1969 in Kansas City, but is now residing in Olathe, Kansas. In 2009 Danielle was affirmed as an Prophetess, and  on September 19, 2013 with much prayer she was affirmed as an Apostle of God in… In  His Anointing Global Ministries by  Apostle Dennis Hart. 

Apostle Danielle Mitchell is listed as the founder of; “In His Anointing Global Ministries”.  Since 2011. God has blessed her to be an Entrepreneur  and author.  She has published  five books Called…”The Jezebel, Ahab, and Eunuch  Spell”  Prophetic Poetry, “The Anger Within Your Soul Let It Go” , “Prayers That Invigorate” and Embracing Your Prophetic Gifts. You can get your copy at amazon.com or BarnesandNoble.com”

The first thing you may have noticed is that her bio states that she is “the founder” of In His Anointing Global Ministries. However, she was affirmed as an Apostle of God in… In  His Anointing Global Ministries by  Apostle Dennis Hart.  What???

Anyway I will return to this in a minute.

The reason Apostle Danielle Mitchell even came to my attention at all was because of a Facebook post that was shared on my timeline. In this video she can be seen driving in her car and talking about various common items that she believes that you must rid yourself of immediately because they are inherently evil. Of course this got my attention immediately.

The first item she mentions is, Witch Hazel. For those of you don’t know what Witch Hazel is it is:

A shrub, Hamamelis virginiana, of eastern North America, having toothed, egg-shaped leaves and small, yellow flowers.

A liquid extraction from the leaves or bark of this plant mixed with water and alcohol, used externally as a liniment for inflammations and bruises and as an astringent.

I remember my Grandmother always kept this on hand in her medicine cabinet.

According to Apostle Danielle Mitchell, and in all seriousness she asks; Why are certain things breaking down in your home? Why are relationships failing? Why is there a lot of negativity that’s around? Well it could be what you use on your face. You guessed it, Witch Hazel is to blame.

According to Apostle Danielle Mitchell, you are putting witchcraft so to speak on your face. If you are a believer you shouldn’t be putting any product called Witch Hazel on your fave because it’s evil. Of course, Apostle Danielle Mitchell sells an alternative right on the churches website and even offers free shipping.

The only problem with this line of irrational reasoning is, the name “Witch Hazel” is, it was adapted from the Old English word: wych elm.

It has nothing to do with demons, evil or any other sort of superstition.

It gets even better…. Dirt Devil Vacuum Cleaners are also evil because of the name Dirt Devil. “You should not have anything in your home saying devil”

She goes onto rail against Harry Potter novels as well. According to Apostle Danielle Mitchell, the only way to rid your home of evil is to get rid of these items and bless your home with holy oil, or holy salt, and of course repent for your obviously unknowing evil ways.

Of course, railing against Harry Potter novels the some sub-sets of Evangelical Christians isn’t new. Who cares that the Harry Potter novels actually got millions of kids interested in reading, they were filled with moral issues, e.g.- good wins over evil, etc. Evidently that is beside the point.

Anyway you get the idea. I have posted the video at the end of my post so you can watch it for yourself.

OK, Like I said I would return to Apostle Danielle Mitchell’s bio on In His Anointing Global Ministries website.

The vision of the  Church is about developing, training and equipping “Saints” for ministry and business. We are equipping to make disciples of all  nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son, and  of the Holy Spirit according to Matthew 28:19  (NIV). Through this ministry miracles are happening, the captives are being set free, healed, blessed, and saved. God is growing out legs, healing cancer and strokes.

Apostle Danielle believes in the supernatural and is accurate with the word of knowledge and wisdom.We believe that there is nothing that God can’t do if you have faith. Without faith it is impossible to please God.  As one of God’s General’s God has called her to the nations to raise the dead!

Apostle Danielle has been on WTWG am Mississippi broadcast teaching the word of God, the Ray Mannings Singers internet broadcast twice a month, and on Let the prophet and prophetess speak on blog talk radio”.

Stupid me, I always assumed that it was only the Catholic Church that granted “Sainthood” to individuals, and only after a long and drawn out process. Who knew?

The; In His Anointing Global Ministries Website, further goes onto state; “We thank God for all the testimonies that are coming in of  people getting a financial breakthrough and supernatural money being deposited in their account . God has healed many of cancer, strokes,  mental illness, and  many are set free from generational curses. God is truly doing miracles , signs, and wonders through this ministry. You can follow Apostle @ Periscope TV,  Face Book, Twitter, Instagram, Goggle, and LinkedIn”.

WOW!!! They certainly covered all their Social Media bases didn’t they.  Now, I am going to call this for what it is, this is an absolute scam and bullshit.

This so-called Apostle is scamming the poor people who just want to believe and are looking for comfort in religion. Danielle Mitchell is the worst kind of scam artist and she should be investigated by law enforcement, and The Internal Revenue Service right now!

Why am I being so harsh on this so-called “Apostle/con artist” Danielle Mitchell?

Well, it becomes abundantly clear when you visit the; In His Anointing Global Ministries web-store they sell Danielle Mitchell’s products, Books, Tee shirts, Perfume, Oils, Purses, Jewelry, Body sprays, Anointed oils, Purses, Scarfs, and Face Powder. And as an added bonus most have free shipping.

This bullshit disgusts me, this is not freedom of religion, this is taking advantage of the vulnerable for profit. Shame on you Danielle Mitchell!  Your God will not be very forgiving for this scam that you are perpetuating upon your believers.

As the late Paul Harvey used to say: Now You Know The Rest Of The Story.

Kind of reminds me of the classic rock song by Peter Greene and Fleetwood Mac, titled, “Oh Well”. The opening verse is; “When I talk to God I know he understands, he said stick by me and I will be you’re God in hand, but don’t ask me what I think of you, because I might not give you the answer that you want me too”.

Danielle Mitchell is not an “Apostle” she is a con artist, praying upon the fears of people just looking for a little comfort and salvation, in their daily lives.

You don’t have to take my word for it, Please, I encourage you to check out the information for yourself.
