Prophetic Position - Part 2: The Spirit of Camelot - A Denial of Holiness
By
Lars Widerberg
"If someone preaches a Jesus other than the Jesus we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received… you put up with it easily." - 2 Corinthians 11:4.
Let us clarify and finish an issue once and for all. A Christian can be taken in by any spirit opposed to the Holy Spirit. Any Christian can do it by choice. Of course, such a Christian looses his genuine Christian identity and if he does not back off from his choice, he eventually looses his position.
Any other spirit is an opposer to the Sanctifier, the Holy Spirit. Any other spirit is a competitor, generating opposition and division. Any other spirit has spiritistic origin and brings false revelations. There is no spirit of any kind, of any name and brand that is allowed to share space and habitation with the Holy Spirit. One Spirit rules the Kingdom of God.
Intercession is the essence of the nature and role of the Royal Priesthood. Intercession brings its own kind of division - discernment, ability to divide right from wrong, ability to analyse and categorise spirituality. True spirituality avoids coexistence with products of counterfeit. Nothing can be mixed with or added to holiness.
At present time the title and the role of the Royal Priesthood is being happily and thoughtlessly exchanged for knighthood. The Holy Spirit is exchanged for the spirit of Camelot - a spirit ruling an old English castle, a familiar spirit. The charismatics turned faith in Faith, turned all kinds of blessings, are now turning to the spirit of Camelot and are gladly receiving knighthood, becoming knights of the round table, knights of another king by the name of Arthur.
Arthur, if he existed at all, was a Celtic saviour-king in the early dark ages. He was the personification of Celtic opposition to Roman rule. He is supposed to have lived in a castle near Glastonbury, Somerset, a castle which the bards, the storytellers called Camelot. He gathered to him brave men and mystics, among whom he chose a handful dubbing them to knighthood, using a magically produced sword named Excalibur. The stories and tales about the warriorking was retold and retold, new material and fables were constantly added. William of Malmesbury and Geoffery of Monmouth edited and added even more. It is during the 11th century that men like William started to write down the tales from the 5th and 6th century.
The 11th century is the century of romance, of the crusades and heroism in the name of Jesus Christ. The 11th century is the century of monasticism and mysticism. Bernard of Clairvaux wrote the rule for both the warriormonks, the Knights Templar and for the Cistercians. Both orders were obsessed with the sensual, worshipping the Mother of God rather than the Father.
At Camelot the quest began for anyone wanting to find the Holy Grail, an item, a vessel of some kind, carrying the essence of the mystery of life and death, of rebirth, of eternal security. The grail romances describe in vision after vision, in story after story the quest for the key to life. Searching for salvation, but no possibility of finding it. Overcoming death by cutting a covenant with death. The quest itself hailed as the meaning of life. Denial of the Saviour, the only Saviour, Jesus Christ.
The hunt, the quest is a race for the sensational, the otherworldly. It is obsession with passion and power, rather than character and holiness. The spirit of Camelot is the spirit of the mysterious and sensual, the mystery, the mystery of Babylon. It is Jezebel dynamics. The one daring to risk his life searching but never finding becomes the hero, the ideal man. The deceived becomes the ideal. Denial of the existence of true truth.
Camelot is the castle of illusion, of fantasy. Camelot is an antichristian symbol. Camelot provokes achievement. "I am my own salvation" - an antichristian statement. The knight becomes the grail according to occult tradition, becomes the vessel of godhood. Man sees himself as saviour and god, ruling his own destiny. Denial of the Holy Spirit as the One instructing and guiding men into the whole truth, as the one being the protector of the future. Camelot is the castle of illusion, shapechanging - denial of true truth.
Arthur had a round table, a famous table where only the most prominent and exclusively chosen men gathered. The spirit of Camelot produces a sense of the extraordinary, of being special. Knighthood is, exclusiveness is a horrible illusion. Holiness is not an option. We have made it to be, and have lost the exclusiveness God has prepared for us - meant to be a peculiar people. Holiness according to God’s protocol or lost in a covenant with death. Choose today.
Arthur had a round table where the wise knights gathered. A "prophetic" gathering led by the jezebelic spirit of divination. We certainly need true prophets sitting down together in spiritual unity, in common attentiveness, waiting before the Lord, waiting to hear from the Lord. Camelot denies listening and the right to discern. Our Master Prophets allow themselves the right to release any type of spirit over any congregation. A side example is the Big Prophet at the Big Centre to the north, who released the spirit of Jeanne D’Arch, a lesbian terrorist and spiritist, over the gathered unprotected crowd who cheered the new wave of the river.
Knights and generals aim at superiority. They say together with the Jezebel spirit, "I, and no one else". Knights and generals go for position. "Let us make a name". Knights and generals deny the one name given, Jesus Christ. Intercessors, and Christians at large, are involved in an epic struggle in the end time against the Mystery of Babylon. Intercessors are mobilised in special projects to encounter and counteract the dynamics and operations of principalities and powers. First in line is the spirit of mystery, Jezebel. It is a tremendous effort to take up the battle. To have any chance removing her from society, Christians must learn to back her off from their personal lives. It is fully possible to have another spirit than the Holy Spirit operating over one's life.
The attitude and position of knighthood are antichristian. Richard Wagner wrote his music, very suggestive music, under the influence of the spirit of Camelot. "Parsival" was a uniquely personal dramatisation of the grail romance. Hitler was left no doubt that Wagner was the supreme prophetic figure among the Germans. The manner in which Wagner had exalted the "Brotherhood of Knights" sharing a pure and noble blood had stirred him deeply, the historians say - and we know about the results.
Arthur, the ideal man, an illusion feeds thoughts on chivalry. Camelot is the spirit of comradeship, of men’s covenants for the sake of achievement and prosperity. Camelot is the secret world of brotherhood, of elitism. Edward III formed the Order of the Garter, inspired by the grail chivalry. Masons have their deep and strong roots in the same soil.
Arthur is supposed to have been buried in or near Glastonbury. The Glastonbury Tor is the Avalon of Arthur, the glass-island, the door to the otherworld. Glastonbury is a sacred place in churchianity and among occultists and newagers. Avalon is where Arthur rests, waiting for his time to come to return as a saviour and a heroic king. Arthur is an antichristian symbol. Avalon speaks subtly, "death is the ruler of the living". The spirit of Camelot speaks death over the living, fencing them off from eternal life. Camelot is an extraordinary manifestation of division.
Royalty is certainly a different attitude in comparison to a knight or a general. The Royal Priesthood is marked by having the mind of Christ. Gentle dignity. Righteous veracity. Holiness. The elitism of the nicolaitans exchanged for morally powerful servanthood. The hype of Jezebel exchanged for worship in spirit and in truth. The Camelot covenant with death and the eternal quest for the elusive illusions exchanged for the presence of the Father.
Intercessors, get together in prophetic colleges and wait until you have received a sword, a word from the Lord to cut off the soulties of knighthood and the magical influence of the sword of initiation to the spiritistic round table at Camelot.

This article has been presented to the principal defenders and practitioners of these mystical and spiritistic methods and viewpoints, among whom Rick Joyner is one who carries a heavy load of responsibility. - L.W.
