“Spiritual covering” as theorized by those who teach, promulgate, and adhere to it is an absolute myth. No semblance of the version of “spiritual covering” taught by its proponents exists anywhere within the pages of Holy Writ (Scripture). I will take it a step further and state straightforwardly and unambiguously: “Spiritual covering,” in the vein that it is presented by its proponents and proliferators, is an unmitigated lie and complete myth! It is a complete fabrication concocted by the originators of these fallacious doctrines by which to facilitate and perpetuate their purely self‑aggrandizing objectives of subjugation, domination and control of the sheep of God’s Flock.

Delineated and defined in this article are some of the signs and symptoms, or common characteristics, of hyper-authoritarian groups, churches, networks, and ministries. Often, these are the symptoms of a church or group laboring under the heavy-hand of hyper-authoritarianism. That is to say, the leadership is dominating, controlling, and manipulating their followers, and exploiting them for their own personal gain and private kingdom-building. Wholesale abuse and misuse of authority is an integral part of the very foundation, fabric, and functions of such groups. Culturally and systemically, such “churches” are nothing more than demonic “Charismatic” cults, regardless of the modernized name of their organization, the Mission and Faith Statements on their website, the worldly hypnotizing and mind-numbing so-called “worship,” aimed at alluring the spiritually naive, and the spiritual-sounding jargon comprising their group-speak.
