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

LOTS of self-serving flattery being pushed out there by today’s un-grounded false “prophetic” wolves which several false NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) ministries have spawned.

To a man using the “prophetic” word to snare prey, I sent him this message: “Rid your heart, mind and life of this misused “prophetic” word and philosophy. No one needs your supposed “prophetic” foolishness because God gave us His “MORE SURE word of prophecy” which is the Holy Scriptures. Go and learn what this means and repent of drawing attention to yourself. You are a piece of dust, a sinner. Humble yourself now in repentance (2 Peter 1:12-21).

“A man that flattereth his neighbour spreadeth a net for his feet.” Proverbs 29:5

Those who tickle the ears of others, operate from a self-serving, sinister agenda (Philippians 3:18-19; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).

There is the true prophet and gift of prophecy for certain and yet, there are few walking in those places due to refusing to lay down their own lives, deny self, take up the cross for real, and truly follow Jesus (Luke 9:23-24).

When you see a person claiming to be “prophetic”, you can count on them being under a deceiving spirit. Beware. Not one person is seen in the New Testament canon claiming they are “prophetic.” Yes there is the gift of prophecy and yet, those who use this terminology – “the prophetic” – are false. They are biblically-illiterate gullible dupes who’ve bought the lies of the cultic NAR movement and run with those lies.

A beguiler is one who fears man and not God (Matthew 10:28; Galatians 1:10). He is simply not crucified with Christ in his personal life and therefore his god is his belly which means he is controlled by his own unbridled carnal appetites. So, when he/she moves in “the prophetic”, it’s pure self-serving, flesh-flattering beguilement. The Holy Ghost told us such men:

“(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: 19 Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.)” Philippians 3:18-19

There is a lot of misleading information being spewed by self-appointed prophet frauds saints. Beware. The infer that there is more than the Bible, as if God would speak a greater revelation. Not. There is no greater revelation because Jesus Christ, the living Word of God who became flesh, dwelled among us, and was crucified for mankind’s sins is the central theme of all of Holy Scripture. God would never contradict or outdo Himself in what He already gave us in His tangible written Word.

The fact that the world didn’t have enough room to record everything Jesus did while on earth in no way means that He did anything that contradicts with the written Word God divinely ordained be recorded tangibly in the 66 books of Holy Scripture.

There are prophets today in the New Testament era (Acts 11:27; 13:1; 15:32; Ephesians 4:11). They perfect, mature, and equip Christ’s saints by directing His people to the “more sure word of prophecy.” – the written Word (2 Peter 1:19-21). They do not use “prophet” as a title to draw attention to themselves but only function humbling in serving the LORD and His people. | Self-Appointed Title Touters

There are many self-appointed “prophetic” frauds who entice people with “words” and lead them into an experience based, instead of truth based deception. They don’t lead them to get into THE WORD which is final divine authority – the written Word, which in part protects believers from the “MANY false prophets” Jesus and His apostles repeatedly warned about (Matthew 7:15; 24:11, etc.).

“We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. 21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.” 2 Peter 1:19-21

“Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.” Romans 16:17-18

Instant gratification drives many to migrate to the prophetic frauds who promise blessings, favor, and the riches of this world. Have you noticed how these beguilers promise every other person they prophesy over that they are going to be a “prophet to the nations”, etc. They use new age buzz words and terms such as paradigm, position, reposition, destiny, etc. They use these words to entice and manipulate their prey to give money to them, to patronize their false ministries.

Concerning the “many false prophets” operating today in the apostate modern church world, Maureen Lundie writes:

“You will find that some people will believe these ‘prophets’ more than the Word of God. The false prophets will tell them that blessings will start raining down on them within the next hour, and they believe it. Whereas God says wait. People want things now, they don’t want to wait for God’s perfect timing. And when that ‘prophets’ prophecy does not materialize, they blame God.”

When God’s people are in rebellion, they lust after their own things, they are not given over to the LORD and He allows/sends them false prophets… you know, like the lightweight, bag of wind “prophets” of the “prophetic” movement we see today.

“And the prophets shall become wind, and the word is not in them: thus shall it be done unto them.” Jeremiah 5:13

“Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.” Jeremiah 14:14

Proof that prophets don’t see or know everything or that they are necessarily those who foretell the future….

“Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: 11 Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow.” 1 Peter 1:10-11

One writer notes: “A prophet in biblical terms was a man who proclaimed inspired words from God (not necessarily predictions of the future, but words inspired by the Holy Spirit – note 1 Peter 1:10-11; 2 Peter 1:19-21).”

In contrast to the sugar-coated, ear-tickling messages of today’s false prophets, Jesus and His holy apostles taught self-denial, the daily cross, judgment to come, the return of Christ, sufferings, humility, being poor in spirit, and contentment and thanksgiving for every blessing God provides whether it be much or little. See Isaiah 30:9-10 and 2 Timothy 4:2-4.

Esther Botha writes: “Recently, I told my friend she needs to read the Scripture as a whole to ascertain what to believe for herself. But nope no time for God’s Word. She just runs back to the buildings and listens there.”

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)

Those who look for a “word”, a “prophetic word” aren’t grounded in THE WORD – “the MORE sure word of prophecy” which is the real, recorded prophetic Word from God Himself who told us the end from the beginning! (Isaiah 46:9-10; 2 Peter 1:19-21) …

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 (test) all things; hold fast that which is good.” 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21

The LORD desires to speak to His grounded saints daily by His Spirit and Word primarily, which is the “MORE sure word of prophecy.” Read 2 Peter 1:12-21. Do you see what God is communicating? – that the written Word is “MORE sure” than the actually audible voice of God speaking from Heaven? This is not to dismiss all prophecy, dreams, etc., and yet, so many false ministries seldom preach from the Scriptures, especially not in a thorough fashion and do not constantly rebuke and exhort their audience to get in and stay in the written Word – as Paul commanded Timothy and us (2 Timothy 2:15; 4:2). Yet the prophesied “many false prophets” get those same prey to follow and trust in their “words” and “visions” and “dreams.” We must choose THE WORD from God over “a word” from mere men. Read Jeremiah 23 and Ezekiel 34 afresh.

Dreams, Visions, Prophecies, and Supposed Apparitions [podcast]

Remember that Jesus says that His sheep hear His voice (John 10:16). The point of this message is in no way to limit God or foolishly claim He no longer speaks to people in dreams, visions, or the vocal gifts of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:7-10; Hebrews 13:8). Yet, today, most of those claiming to be getting words, visions, dreams, and prophecies, are not grounded in Christ and most of them make it abundantly obvious by their lack of preaching the essential doctrines of the original Gospel such as Christ’s cross, judgment, hell, repentance, the necessity for personal holiness, […]

Beware of False Promises and Half Truths and the Pawns who Peddle them! [podcast]

BEWARE OF THE MANY PROPHE-LIARS! Many today dish out God’s promises to disobedient rebels. Those promises are GOD’s, not yours, sinner. And the LORD has stated conditions that must be met to receive those promises (Example: Jeremiah 29:11-15). He didn’t give those promises so you could run around using them for your own self-serving purposes to get people to like and follow you. There’s so much flattery floating around today, posing as being Christian, as being biblical, and yet, there’s no cross, holiness, judgment, or repentance in it. Counterfeit. False gospel (Galatians 1:6-9). Run. It’s time to stop prophe-lying. It’s […]

Psalm 27 Narrated [podcast]

“One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.” Psalms 27:4 This psalm epitomizes the worship-filled heart of the only man in HIS-story that the LORD declared is “a man after mine own heart.” David’s heart for the LORD is captured in this psalm for all of us to witness, to covet, to seek, and to do. “I have found David the son of Jesse, a man […]

Did you catch what the apostle Paul did to prepare the church to meet Christ?

Preach

Lynne Parker writes:

“I truly believe Christians will be tried by the Word in this hour. There is no more riding the fence or taking a neutral position. God Himself will place us all in a position to stand or fall according to the Word. “Deception” and its sister “delusion” are gripping the Body of Christ – like a dark cloud it is covering the land. The false dominion (NAR) theology and signs and wonders movement has effectively conditioned multitudes to forsake the authority of God’s Word and embrace their subjective feelings as guidance in discernment concerns. But in these latter days only those who divorce their feelings and trust only in God’s Word and have developed a love for the truth will overcome the devil’s schemes. Sadly many will be lost – it’s unfolding right before us.”

"Adorn the Doctrine of God" [podcast]

“Exhort servants (employees, slaves) to be obedient unto their own masters (bosses), and to please them well in all things; not answering again; 10 Not purloining, but shewing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.” Titus 2:9-10 The context of the above passage is instructions to all Christian “servants” (employees) and how they can be Christ’s witnesses among those they work with, including their “master” (boss, owner, etc.). “2:10 One of the most obvious differences was that Christians did not succumb to the besetting sin of other slaves, namely, pilfering.

"Warn them from Me": The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God's People [podcast]

The 3 Things Paul did to Protect God’s People [podcast] Jesus and His holy apostles often rebuked and exposed false leaders and false doctrine (Matthew 23; Acts 13:10; 20:29-31; Galatians 5:11-12; 2 Timothy 4:2-4; 2 Peter 2; 2 John 7-11; Revelation 2:6, 15, etc.). Therefore we know that part of following Jesus includes doing the same. In fact, the body of Christ is mandated to do just that (Romans 16:17-18; Philippians 1:17; Jude 3-4). PWT = Preach, WARN, Teach “Whom we PREACH, WARNING every man, and TEACHING every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in […]

Amen.” Hebrews 13:20-21 In short, the authentic under-shepherd ordained of Jesus […]

Teach the Bible [podcast]

JESUS IS COMING AND THE TRUE BODY OF CHRIST IS “HOLDING FORTH (BOLDLY DECLARING) THE WORD OF LIFE”

“Holding forth the word of life; that I may rejoice in the day of Christ, that I have not run in vain, neither laboured in vain.” Philippians 2:16

WHEN you speak God’s Word, you are speaking divine authority.

“These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee.” Titus 2:15

“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

“That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.” Philemon 1:6

“Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was unto me the joy and rejoicing of mine heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.” Jeremiah 15:16

Nourishing the Body of Christ

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

“All the days of the afflicted are evil: but he that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast.” Proverbs 15:15

The best way to learn is to teach.

HOW well do you know your way around in God’s Word?

Jesus knew His way around God’s Word. Do you? If not, why not?

“And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he FOUND the place where it was written,” Luke 4:17

The disciple of Christ must daily and diligently search, study, and learn God’s Word in light of His Great Commission command to us to teach His Word to others (Matthew 28:18-20). Our ability to minister is in large part based on our knowledge of God’s Word or the ability to navigate God’s Word (King James Bible).

MAKE THE DIFFERENCE – OBEY GOD, “PREACH THE WORD.” (2 TIMOTHY 4:2)

Tip: Always know WHERE you are reading in God’s Word – chapter and verse. You’ll be surprised at the repertoire that begins to build, making you, like Jesus, a good navigator of our LORD’s Word as you preach His Word (Luke 4:17).

Have you ever pondered why there is little or no Scripture being used when listening to someone pretending to be speaking about the LORD? You should wonder (Matthew 7:16, 20; 1 John 4:1).

“Preach the word” is the divine mandate, command (2 Timothy 4:2).

Let us cease to pretend that we represent the LORD when everything we say isn’t coming straight out of His Word. Read that again please.

“If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles (written Word) of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.” 1 Peter 4:11

Think God is calling you to serve? Good. If He has saved you, He has called you (Ephesians 2:8-10; 4:7). Get lost in His Word every day (Jeremiah 15:16). Read it (Revelation 1:3). Study it (2 Timothy 2:15). Memorize it (Proverbs 4:4). Meditate upon it day and night (Joshua 1:8; Psalm 1). THAT’s your prep for ministry, not going to an antichrist seminary. Jesus inducted you into His school of the Holy Ghost and Word the moment He saved you.

“As I was listening I was thinking of Paul. Who was a very educated man in the law. But after he was saved he spent three years being taught exclusively by the Lord Jesus Himself. And he says he “conferred not with flesh and blood.” But he was taught “by the revelation of Jesus Christ.” (Gal 1:12-18). All of us should be taught by the Lord in His Word and not learned through mere men or books. But by a direct revelation from the Lord Jesus Christ! Jesus is The Word of God (John 1:1, Rev 19:13).” Karen Cochran

He’s only coming back for “Them that look for him.” Am I in love with Jesus? Or, am I just religious? Am I an authentic disciple of Jesus or a self-serving counterfeit?
