“Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.” 1 Corinthians 14:29 

All prophetic words must be “judged” or tested to be proven true or false against the perfect standard – God’s written Word. The written Word of God is called the “MORE sure word of prophecy.” (2 Pet. 1:19) The same Holy Spirit who inspired the written Word will never speak contrary to it (2 Peter 1:20-21).

The Holy Spirit has ALREADY SPOKEN – between Genesis 1 and Revelation 22! Anything that is of God that is spoken today must line up with Holy Scripture which is the “more sure word of prophecy.” (2 Peter 1:19-21)

“No prophecy is valid unless it is positively confirmed by God’s holy Word.” David Wilkerson

Because we know that God’s written Word is FINAL Divine Authority, we are not impressed with those who run around with “a word” for people.

Note “NOW” and “THENNNNN”“For NOW we see through a glass, darkly; but THEN face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.” (1 Corinthians 13:12) When someone, when a ministry is dazzling dupes with this idea that THEY has some kind of inside scoop with God – you know you are dealing with an antichrist wolf! RUN! LOTS of devils parading themselves as special, as having a special place with God and always getting “words,” so they say. But, WHERE are those “words” coming from? WHAT spirit?

Many seek to capitalize on your desire to discern, know, and follow God’s will. Beware.

God’s Word says “despise not prophesyings” and yet in the very next sentence it also warns us to “prove (test) all things.” (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21) I don’t even read most “prophecies,” prophetic words, dreams, visions, etc. that circulate these days. Most of these “words” are coming from un-grounded novices, or flagrant flakes who don’t simply “Preach the word” but rather keep the circus wheels of their “ministry” spinning by their continual words (2 Timothy 4:2-4). Not that I despise them and yet the Word of God is inherently prophetic and the primary way God leads and guides His New Testament church (Isaiah 46:9-10; 2 Timothy 3:16-17; 2 Peter 1:19-21, etc.).

“Despise not prophesyings. 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21

Prophetic or Pathetic?

“Despise not prophesyings” (1 Thessalonians 5:20) and yet, beware of those who use gifts or supposed gifts to ensnare you, to thrill you with THEIR abilities, and not for the edification of the body of Christ for the glory of Jesus alone (1 Corinthians 14:1-5; 1 Peter 4:10-11).

“For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” 1 Corinthians 14:31-33

The “sword of the Spirit” is “the word of God.” (Eph. 6:17) God the Holy Spirit will never contradict or speak contrary to the very words He inspired. This would be impossible.

“And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” Ephesians 6:17

The Bible instructs us to “Despise not prophesyings” and also instructs us to “let the other judge.” (1 Cor. 14:29; 1 Thess. 5:20)

We are hemmed in by these two divine instructions concerning prophecy. On one hand we are to place all prophecy on trial against the “more sure word” to see whether or not it is genuinely from God. On the other hand, we must not despise prophesyings, but be open to God speaking to us through prophecy which will always glorify God in Christ and minister “unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.” (1 Cor. 14:3; 1 Pet. 4:10-11)

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy. For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort. He that speaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church. I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater (as a servant) is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.” 1 Corinthians 14:1-5

As Christ’s disciples we are exhorted here to “desire spiritual gifts.” v3 We are also instructed to be “good stewards of the manifold grace of God.” (1 Pet. 4:10-11)

We must not shun all prophecy because of the false ones we witness, yet we must test all “words” against the ultimate authority of the written Word of God.

“Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove (test) all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21

Let’s review what we just read in 1 Thessalonians 5:

  • “Quench not the Spirit”
  • “Despise not prophesyings”
  • “Prove (test) all things”
  • “hold fast that which is good”

“All things” must be put to the Biblical acid test to see whether they are true or false. This includes doctrine, behavior, fruit, teachings, prophecies, motives, etc. On that note, what are some of the things we know about Christ´s apostle Paul and every true man of God? What is the first thing he lists that we know about Paul?

¨But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.¨2 Timothy 3:10-11

The person who pretends to prophesy for the LORD and can’t even quote a few of His Scriptures from “the more sure word of prophecy” has no business being allowed to function (especially extensively) among God’s people as one who is operating with an authentic prophetic gifting (2 Pet. 1:19-20). The person who does not know God’s Word cannot possibly himself judge what he thinks he is hearing from God against the holy standard if he doesn’t know that standard (the written Word).

GOD already told us in His Word all we need to know about these final days (Isaiah 46:9-10; 2 Peter 1:3-4; 19-21, etc.). Gauging all things by the written Word is key to escaping the prophesied end time apostasy. Some people choose to be led astray by the “MANY false prophets” Jesus warns us about who would “deceive MANY.” (Matthew 24:11)

THE LIFE OF DISCERNMENT

God’s method of teaching His children to discern is primarily through His holy Word:

“But strong meat (deeper Biblical truths) belongeth to them that are of full age (spiritually mature)even those who by reason of use(of the written Word) have their senses exercised to discern (discriminate between) both good and evil.” Hebrews 5:14

Remember to always “prove (test) all things.” The word “All” here can refer to doctrines, fruit, dreams, visions, prophecies, etc. As wise virgin believers who are diligently watching and staying ready by keeping their lamps full, we must never be naïve, but discerning in all things concerning the will of God (Prov. 14:15; Col. 1:9-10; 1 Jn. 4:1, etc.). Knowing the will of God assures that we will be able to discern what is not His will.

“Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” Proverbs 30:5-6

You know who is under Christ’s authority and who isn’t – by what Jesus told us in John 8:47: “He that is of God heareth God’s words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.” The men whose conscience’s are captive to the Word of God are God’s men and all others are counterfeits.

False prophets and teachers, who are Satan’s agents (2 Cor. 11:13-15), constantly attempt to whittle away at the doctrinal walls which keep the righteous safe from deception. In this the enemy of our souls, like a skilled boxer, is seeking to get us to drop our guard (God’s Word), so that he can move in for the kill. Remember that it is “Satan” who “cometh immediately, and taketh away the word.” (Mk. 4:15) Our LORD desires and expects us to know His will so that we are not duped by men or devils (Eph. 4:14). To know His Word is to be able to distinguish between evil and good, holy and profane (Ezek. 44:23).

“Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.” Ephesians 5:17

“What is His will?”, you might ask. God’s written Word is His will (see Rom. 1:16-17; 2 Pet. 1:3-4; Prov. 22:19-21; Ps 33:11; 119:105; Joshua 1:8). There is no mystery here. You never again need to wonder what God’s will is. He has seen fit to have His Word on record for us. This is to allow us the privilege of possessing His written will (Rom. 15:4; 1 Cor. 10:11). And, in knowing His will, we are able to discern what is not his will. Consequently, we will not be “tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine (or prophecy), by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive.” (Eph. 4:14)

“The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.” Psalms 33:11

The Holy Spirit will never speak contrary to His eternal oracles given to us in written form (in the Bible). The written will of God is what is referred to in Scripture as the “more sure word.” (2 Pet. 1:19) Though He does inspire prophecy today (1 Cor. 12:7-10, etc.), God will never inspire anyone to speak contrary to His unchanging Word once delivered to the saints (Jude 3). The Holy Spirit and the Word work hand in hand (Eph. 6:17). In fact, it was God the Holy Ghost who inspired the written Word (2 Pet. 1:20-21; 2 Tim. 3:16). So, any prophecy that does not align with Scripture is clearly not from God and must be exposed as such to warn others, lest they be deceived and misled by it (2 Cor. 10:5; Eph. 5:11; Gal. 1:6-9). If the person who gave the false prophecy refuses to repent and publicly recant after being confronted, he must also be removed.

“To the law and to the testimony (written Word)if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” 1 John 4:1

The written Word, which reveals the LORD and His will, must always be earnestly contended for and defended (Jude 3; Phil. 1:17). Pray for discernment and be exercised in the performance of His Word (will), so that you will not be beguiled. If you do not know the written Word (LOGOS), you will have no basis or standard to discern doctrines and prophecies against, so you will consequently be vulnerable to deception. Here is God’s prescription for this deficiency:

“Study to show thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

Okay beloved, be exhorted to always walk in discernment. “Keep (guard) thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.” (Prov. 4:23) “Keep thyself pure.” (1 Tim. 5:22) Remember to prayerfully and with the Holy Scriptures “Prove (test) all things; (and) hold fast that which is good.” (1 Thess. 5:21)

Does all prophecy have to be literal Scripture? No. Prophecy, if it’s from God, will never contradict His written Word and yet, does it have to be verbatim Scripture? Don’t think so. there’s never going to be anything better than simply quoting God’s Word, amen. Yet note “according to” and “as of” in Isaiah 8:20 and 1 Peter 4:11.

“To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” Isaiah 8:20

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God.” 1 Peter 4:11

When Agabus prophesied to the apostle Paul, it wasn’t verbatim Scripture and yet it was according to Holy Scripture.

“And in these days came prophets from Jerusalem unto Antioch. 28 And there stood up one of them named Agabus, and signified by the Spirit that there should be great dearth throughout all the world: which came to pass in the days of Claudius Caesar.” Acts 11:27-28

“And as we tarried there many days, there came down from Judaea a certain prophet, named Agabus. 11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul’s girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, So shall the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 12 And when we heard these things, both we, and they of that place, besought him not to go up to Jerusalem.” Acts 21:10-12

Mission Mexico Part 45

BELOVED JUAN, upon being handed a Jesus tract and having God’s Word spoken to him … was startled and asked “Why did you give me this and not the man who was walking right in front of me?” I said it was “God. He loves you.” Juan knew this before I shared this with Him. He is very aware that God is calling him.

Our LORD interrupted Juan’s day – because He desires to bless his life.

Juan is searching and he knows he must repent. Very sincere man who is struggling and needs our prayers. He knows he needs to be saved and just isn’t quite ready. Yet we know our LORD has that moment for him.

Juan and I had a rather lengthy man to man talk. He was very open and fully bilingual. Juan was given Scripture and encouraged to know that God is going to change his heart and desires when he repents and puts his faith in Christ. Matthew 6:33 was given to him, spoken verbatim, etc.

Juan has a Christian friend he said he’s been knowing he needs to go meet with. Juan was encouraged to tell his Christian friend “I am ready to surrender my life to Jesus.” He was also added to the Spanish Christian WA Whatsapp group in order for him to be introduced to and be able to connect with Christ’s saints here in Mexico. Several of the Mexican Christians are interacting with Juan already!

He is already surrounded by God’s love via God’s people.

Juan is on the edge of surrendering/repenting beloved saints. You know where he is because we were all there before Jesus orchestrated our salvation, before He found, saved us, right. Juan was asked if he’d like you to be lifting him in prayer and he readily accepted that offer.

Salvation is the miracle that our LORD Jesus alone can do (Matthew 9:6; Luke 19:10; 1 Timothy 1:15).

“And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible.” Mark 10:27

Thanks for lifting Juan in prayer.

Mission Mexico – needs your prayers and support.


“Praise be to God in Christ Jesus! Not sure how I missed this email until now, but am thanking God in the Spirit for such wonderful news! May the LORD keep you and watch over you as you fulfill the great commission 🙏 Matt. 28:18-20” Jon Crane | Mission Mexico


“Thankful for your ministry who feed the remnant of Christ! Jer 3:15. These pastors in these apostate churches starve people! Because they cater to their flesh! The remnant believers want to the whole counsel of God’s word (Jude 3). Appreciate all you do to bring us the pure words of the Lord! It saddens me that more do not support.” Karen Cochran


This week I found out by asking Clara that she cooks her food for her children and herself using firewood. Primitive for sure. Never a slight complaint. She does have electricity in her home and when asked she told me her refrigerator just died. Here’s what I am trying to do to help her. Get her an electric double burner, a crock pot, and a refrigerator. Please pray saints. Haven’t priced things yet but was thinking about $500 will do it. | Clara’s Cry

Most importantly, Clara and her 3 young boys each now have a Spanish Bible. You are welcome to help. See SUPPORT/DONATE page.


Brother Antonio is a blessing. After we had some fellowship he gladly took some of the JESUS tracts to distribute. I will be dropping by to see him more soon, LORD willing. Would you like to lift our brother in prayer according to Colossians 4:12?


THIS WEEK picked up fresh supply of 20,000 Jesus tracts.

WE BROUGHT SISTER MARIA A FRESH SUPPLY. SHE HAD RUN OUT OF JESUS TRACTS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO!!!

When we arrived to minister to her, to refresh and fellowship with her and re-supply her tracts supply…. she looked exhausted.

She was revived, her smile and joy returned as we fellowshipped with her and read Scripture with her, etc.

Jesus is coming.

Support Mission Mexico here – takes seconds. 1-time or sustaining support.


FROM KAREN COCHRAN:

“And they (the Mexican people) are so open to the gospel. When I worked with Children I shared the gospel with them and their hearts were completely open and teachable. And Jesus says our entrance into heaven requires us to be childlike! A childlike faith! Humble, dependent and teachable. Mat 18:1-4.” Karen

REPLY:

Amazing reception of children to the Gospel wow yes

Love it

Perfect illustration of the Mexican people.

The “SHEAVES” await the harvesters in Mexico (Psalms 126:5-6).

To say it’s a field day is a gross understatement.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING WITH YOUR PRAYERS AND FINANCIAL SUPPORT THAT THESE PRECIOUS PEOPLE MATTER. KNOW THIS: THERE MAY VERY WELL BE NO PEOPLE MORE MEEK AND RECEPTIVE OF OUR LORD’S GOSPEL ON HIS PLANET, EARTH.

Mission Mexico


MESSAGE FROM SISTER KAREN COCHRAN:

“As I was writing this, I was thinking isn’t this exactly how the Mexican people are? Childlike!

When you were following God’s calling on your life, to go to Mexico, did you ever imagine the huge gospel explosion that would ensue? Thousands upon thousands of gospel tracks going out. And as you said, zero refusal. But nearly 100 percent reception. Acts 19:20 “So mightly grew the word of God and prevailed.” Acts 13:49 “And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.” And now you are ready to pick up 20,000 more Jesus Tracts! Gospel explosion! Alleluia! All Praise to our King Jesus who is growing the seeds you guys are planting!”

REPLY:

As we are faithful with the little He gave, gives us, He expands that, multiplies responsibilities right Matthew 25

Year 1:  10k Jesus tracts distributed

Year 2: 11k tracts distributed

2 months into Year 3 with 41k Jesus tracts in print to date with hundreds going out daily.


PRAYER: Heavenly Father, please bless my life to be fruitful for Your eternal glory this day, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.


MESSAGE RECEIVED:

“Cops in the USA earn about $200k a year just to drive around and hassle law abiding citizens.”

REPLY:

This is 100% accurate concerning the Mexican police. They are there to protect the people, not extort them. In the USA the police prey upon the people – to further stalk and rob them of more money.

I am so glad to be now in beautiful Mexico. NONE of this. The cops here are not overpaid and simply exist to protect, not rob the people.



Here’s one of the many precious eternal souls brother Juan ministered to this week: “Beloved brothers and sisters, please pray for Sister Catalina and her sister….” Juan


“Greetings, brother, blessings. The blessed word says that whatever you ask for in prayer, believe it and you will receive it. So I believe in God’s promises, which are greater than our problems, and true freedom, brother, is being in God’s presence, and only Christ Jesus can give it to you. A big hug.” Juan

More of brother Juan’s Gospel work in action. Here’s yet another precious soul our brother Juan is ministering Christ’s Gospel to!!! And your prayers and support make this possible saints. We are supporting the Gospel labourers Jesus instructed us to pray for and whom He has sent forth into the great harvest (Matthew 9:35-38).

“WE are labourers TOGETHER with God.” 1 Corinthians 3:9

Mission Mexico Rolling!

 


FROM BROTHER JON CRANE:

“Thank you, brother  I lift you and others as well. Definitely see prophecy being fulfilled before our eyes.”

REPLY:

Yes Matt 24:14 most excitedly right…. Mark and I were blessed to evangelized about 80-100 bless-ed souls last evening with 99% receptivity. Amazing. God is good and He is hearing your petitions brother in Jesus’ name.

Overcoming that Old Serpent, Called the Devil, and Satan [podcast]



“And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.” Revelation 12:9

“That old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world” never left the garden of God’s creation and he won’t till Jesus slam dunks him into the bottomless pit (Genesis 3; Revelation 12; 20). He must be overcome “by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death” (Revelation 12:11). God is able. Satan 

“He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him.” Ecclesiastes 10:8

“From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:1-7

In the scope of past, present, and future history – HIS-story – nothing is over till Jesus wins!

“For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. … 57 But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.” 1 Corinthians 15:25-26, 57

The Cross

Personally I was not blessed to begin seeing our LORD’s victory in my personal life until Jesus’ cross message began to seep into my heart, thoughts and mind.

The record of Holy Scripture assures us that our LORD Jesus conquered sin, death, hell, and Satan (1 John 3:8). But how? He overcome by the cross.

Jesus conquered sin and death by dying.

“Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;” Hebrews 2:14

If this is the first time you are hearing this truth, don’t be ashamed. It’s new to all of us due to the original Gospel message of the cross has been lost among most who claim Christ. | The Cross 

Camping out on the message of the cross will assure you are quickened to “seek the Lord and his strength, seek his face continually.” (1 Chronicles 16:11) Keeping thine eyes and heart upon His cross message will hasten you to Him, to His cross, to the death of self that Christ might raise you upward in His holy power and glory.

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn (grain, seed) of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 25  He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. 26  If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.” John 12:24-26

The cross truly is a “Let go and let God” economy, experience – crying, declaring “Jesus You MUST increase but I MUST decrease!”

As the apostle Paul discovered, you are NOT sufficient and yet His grace is sufficient for your life in Him.

“And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. 10  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10

PRAYER: Father, please grant me eye salve to see Your holy truth and the many wolves that now are disguised in sheep’s clothing and leading many to hell. Help me, Jesus! Knowing my utter poverty of spirit, I this moment turn afresh to You fully, asking You to have mercy on me and wash away all my sins. Grant the eyes of my heart discernment as only You can, as I walk closely with You. I choose this day to deny my own self-will and desires and ask You to consume me with Your wisdom, power, and grace. LORD Jesus, please bless me to know You intimately. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Exhort One Another Daily [podcast]


“But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.” Hebrews 3:13

“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. 23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.” Hebrews 10:22-25

Saints, let’s always remember that other disciples have the SAME exact iniquitous flesh to deal with daily as we do (Genesis 6:5, 12; Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, etc.). They are just like us – absolutely wicked and depraved without the present working of the saving grace of our God at work in us! (Romans 7) Each of Christ’s followers are like us, working out their own salvation with fear and trembling as the LORD works in them both to will and to do of His good pleasure (Philippians 2:12-13).

“We then that are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak, and not to please ourselves.” Romans 15:1

“Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.” Galatians 6:1-2

Let’s lift up our LORD’s disciples instead of wrongly judging them in our attitudes, etc. Seeing and treating them with God’s love is important ( 1 Peter 4:7-8; 1 John 4:7-8, 16-18; 5:1, etc.).

“And oppress not the widow, nor the fatherless, the stranger, nor the poor; and let none of you imagine evil against his brother in your heart.” Zechariah 7:10

“Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.” Romans 14:19

“Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11

DOES the Bible tell us to “Go make disciples” OR to “Teach others God’s Word”? Interesting. Does the Bible Ever Say “Go Make Disciples”?
