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


Many of the prophetic words we’re hearing are coming from the typical opportunist suspects. Many of them do not pass the biblical smell test. Beware.

“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

Most of the “prophetic” dreams and visions and words I see and hear circulating seem to be coming from ungrounded vessels. Personally, I click on past them.

We should beware that last days prophecies, if truly from God, should include prayer and evangelism and the things we see Jesus saying to the seven churches of Revelation 2-3.

In this nation, there’s NOTHING more important than praying saints! JESUS IS LORD!

Lots of words, visions, dreams, etc., circulating about these last days. How shall we discern them other than through the eyes of the final authority Standard, the written Word!?

Even false prophets can give out the truth. THAT doesn’t make them true. Beware. Discern. Make Deuteronomy 13:1-10 a place of study.

“Deuteronomy 13:1-10 tells us what to watch out for. I would rather study God’s word and keep my head in the Bible than seek out some mere man’s word, vision, or dream. Who is the one who wants us not to study the Bible? Satan.” Steve Smull

WHEN you are personally, daily grounded in God’s Word, you don’t run around looking for some flake with a supposed word, vision, or dream! (Colossians 2:6-10)

Un-grounded people will search out and listen endlessly to prophecies, dreams, and visions supposedly from God, many of which contradict each other. Yet, these same people have little or no time to “search the scriptures” as Jesus instructed and which Peter told us is “the MORE sure word of prophecy” (John 5:39; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

Those who read God’s Word for themselves are not moved or impressed with the numerous peddled words, visions, or prophecies that are supposedly from God (1 Thessalonians 5:20-21; 2 Peter 1:12-21).

Prayer and evangelism are essential divinely stated components of the last days. God is concerned about His people being “ready” and staying “ready” which concerns prayer, and His Great Commission command is in full force and always will be until we are with Him.

“Watch and PRAY, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Matthew 26:41

“And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits (evangelism). 33 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many (Matt 28:18-20): yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. 34 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 35 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed.” Daniel 11:32-35

There is no such thing as a true Heaven bound disciple of Jesus who isn’t daily, perpetually seeking His holy face in prayer, praying without ceasing, His Word, and being used of God to feed His sheep and win others to Christ.

Repentance, PRAYER, holiness, AND EVANGELISM ARE INSEPARABLE, INTEGRAL TO THE LORD AND HIS PEOPLE AND THAT WILL NEVER CHANGE. SO, ANY PROPHETIC WORD OR VISION OR DREAM WHICH DOES NOT INCLUDE THESE, SHOULD BE DISCOUNTED AT THE VERY LEAST. The larger point here may be that anyone who gives a word or vision or dream must be tested. So many today who give out words never mention these integral, cardinal doctrines of the Christian faith in any of their words. Red flag.

How God Told Us He Deals with Nations

One writer notes:

“America fits the profile of Mystery Babylon.  We are an apostate nation.  There does remain a strong but small remnant of true believers in America.  Is that enough for God to preserve her or will she be delivered on over to Satan for destruction?  I don’t know.”

“At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; 8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. 9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it; 10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.” Jeremiah 18:7-10

Yes the LORD has a plan for the USA which He will work through those who truly repent, lay down their lives, turn from their self-serving wicked, cross-denying ways, and seek His holy face. Listen closely to what the divinely given conditions are to heal any land, to heal America:

“If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. 15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.” 2 Chronicles 7:13-15

False prophets only mention the restoration, never mentioning the divine requirements. False prophets who come up with words out of their own deceitful hearts, give great flowery words, never mentioning the divine essential of repentance (Jeremiah 23:16). Bible students of Christ see this and discern it. They are able to discern, to rigthly divide the word from error (2 Timothy 2:15). Gullible listeners never even notice.

“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 16:18

Yes God desires to restore yet He requires repentance as an absolute essential (Luke 13:3, 5, etc.). Yet as He commanded it to be, it’s not being preached (Luke 24:47). Listen and catch what the LORD’s prophet Jeremiah reveals to us:

“Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. 17 They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. 18 For who hath stood in the counsel (Word) of the LORD, and hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?” Jeremiah 23:16-18

Many today who call themselves “prophetic” sprinkle in and misuse some Scripture yet don’t apply these Scriptures correctly which is typical of false prophets. They put supposed words from God above the written Word. Just like Jeremiah pointed out above, they do not stand rooted in the written Word which is “the MORE sure word of prophecy” and even more divinely authoritative than the audible voice of the Father speaking from Heaven (2 Peter 1:12-21). They never mention repentance which is the very first word of the original Gospel (Matthew 3:2; 4:17; Acts 2:38; 3:19; 20:21, etc.). God requires repentance to bless, to refresh (Acts 3:19). He is unchanging and will not pour out His Spirit and blessings on those who do not “endure (hold themselves accountable to) sound doctrine” (2 Timothy 4:2-4).

True disciples of Jesus are impressed with HIS written Word and are therefore not impressed with the prophetic words, the dreams, and vision of modern church flakes (2 Peter 1:12-21).

Their words, their visions, their dreams are that God’s going to bless unrepentant rebels, rebellion (Jeremiah 23:17; Lamentations 2:14; Amos 9:10; 2 Timothy 4:2-4, etc.). Today’s false prophets are no different than those of old. They speak of healings, blessings, and outpourings as if the Almighty is going to pour out His Holy Spirit on sin and rebels. Not. God’s Word tells us that He is “Holy, holy, holy” (Isaiah 6:3; 1 Peter 1:15-16, etc.).

“For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither shall evil dwell with thee.” Psalms 5:4

The baptism with the Holy Spirit is for now more than ever (Acts 2:38-39). Yet, the gifts of the Holy Ghost are being counterfeited. Today’s prophetic frauds can be known by the company they keep (Bethel, NAR, etc.). God’s Word assures us that birds of a feather do flock together (Ezekiel 22:25-27). They act like they and others can speak life over rebellion and that’s all it will take. But God sees the rebellion of the hearts of these prophets and the rebels they prophesy to and will not bless the unrepentant (Ezekiel 33:31-33).

Read Jeremiah 23 and Ezekiel 34 where God exposes false prophets and their methods.

America is Under Divine Judgment [podcast]


Chasing the American dream all the way to hell? Are you bowing before your Maker who came and died to save you from sin and this world? Or, are you bowing before “old glory”, “the red, white, and blue”?

“Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:” Revelation 3:17

Every person reading these very words is making his eternal bed in Heaven or in hell.

“Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision.” Joel 3:14

“Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?” Romans 6:16

Those bowed truly before Christ and no idol, are about His “business” which is the Great Commission He gave us! Oh, and He holds you fully accountable to obey, to do it. Read the very end of Matthew and Mark.

If you are not deliberately, integrally involved in the Great Commission mandate Jesus gave His people, you are out of the will of God.

AMERICA’S ENEMY INVASION

In the Bible, we read of how God allowed foreign empires like the Assyrians and Babylonians to invade, conquer, and exile Israel and Judah as a form of divine discipline and covenant judgment for their persistent idolatry, social injustice, and refusal to repent.

One source notes:

“The Theological Framework of Judgment

    • The Covenant: God made a conditional agreement (covenant) with ancient Israel. Obedience brought protection and blessing; disobedience brought explicit warnings of national defeat and dispersion (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
    • Using Foreign Nations: Prophets like Isaiah and Habakkuk explain that God sovereignly used ruthless empires (calling Assyria the “rod of my anger”) as instruments of correction against His own unfaithful people.
    • The Limits of Judgment: While God used these empires to punish Israel, the Bible notes He also held those invading nations accountable for their own extreme cruelty, arrogance, and subsequent destruction (e.g., Isaiah 10, Jeremiah 50–51).”

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

“The LORD is known by the judgment which he executeth: the wicked is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah. 17  The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” Psalms 9:16-17

“At what instant” (marked space in time)

It seems God has His timing in judging nations and history records…..

It is more than obvious that America is not repenting. If that’s the case, what future does America have?

Jeremiah 18:7-10

At what instant (marked place in time) I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it;

8 If that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them.

9 And at what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to build and to plant it;

10 If it do evil in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good, wherewith I said I would benefit them.”

How does He judge?

Does He not lift His hand of protection and allow invaders? Read Jeremiah 5-7. This morning as I begin again reading these 3 chapters, what’s happening in America seems to fit for sure. And no president can save America from the LORD judgment. The only hope would be the true repentance of the people.

THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENS TO ANY NATION THAT FORSAKES GOD. – “The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Psalms 9:17) America is under divine judgment. See Jeremiah 18.

What Bible verse or passage comes to your mind when you think of being possessed by an eternal perspective? How about this one?

“For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.” 2 Corinthians 4:16-18

PRAYER: My Father in Heaven, in the name of Jesus, please imbue this Your vessel with the eternal perspective Your Word communicates. Bless me to be a consummate soul winning, with my hands gripping the plow of Your Great Commission command. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

“Why would we put our hope in a country that belongs to our arch enemy? (2 Cor 4:4). As scripture clearly tells us this earth will vanish like smoke (Is 51:6). We are looking for a new heaven and new earth! Rev 21. Where God will dwell among us! We will be His people and drink from the fountain of life forever and ever! That is my hope! Not this wicked fallen world!” Karen Cochran

“And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be Preached in all the World” [podcast]


“All these are the beginning of sorrows.

9  Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake.

10  And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

11  And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

12  And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold.

13  But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

14  And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matthew 24:8-14

The true remnant of Christ are known in that they are enduring to the end in the midst of iniquity, abounding and preaching the Gospel of Jesus the King to the world.

“And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”  Mark 16:15

PRAYER: Father in Heaven, I come to You in the name of Jesus Christ, admitting I have been living for my own evil glory. I am a sinner. I’ve committed the sin of idolatry, having myself first instead of You. I admit here and now before You that I have been committing the damning sin of spiritual adultery. I have claimed to know You and yet refused to uncompromisingly adhere to Your Word. Here and now, right now if never before, I repent and ask You to forgive my sins and to wash me afresh from my sins in the precious blood of Jesus Christ my LORD. Into Your hands I commend, I submit my spirit, my life, right this moment and ask You dear LORD to fill me with Your Holy Ghost and use me to preach Your glorious message of repentance to those around me so that they can receive the forgiveness of all their sins and walk in the times of refreshing from Your holy presence dear LORD. I love You Jesus. I am all Yours and I know You are all mine. In Jesus’ Name amen.

Apostasy

Jesus Promised Judas an Eternal Throne in Heaven but He Chose to go to Hell #shorts [video]

​ Judas died and went to eternal hell, irrevocably as every lost soul shall experience (Acts 1:25). Judas is the “son of perdition” and “perdition” means damnation (John 17:12).

Here’s all the ministry’s shorts (60 secs) videos. Feel free to share:

See all shorts videos here on ministry youtube channel.

Judas was even sent out with the other apostles to heal the sick, raise the dead, and preach Christ’s Gospel (Matthew 10:1-8). He was real, then backslid and is in hell (Acts 1:16-25).

The Truth about Judas

“And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones (not 11), judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” (Matthew 19:28)

Judas wasn’t kept and Jesus specifically and irrefutably promised him an eternal throne in Heaven – Matthew 19:28. “TWELVE” not eleven~!

At the time of this divinely-given promise, it is more than abundantly clear that Judas was eternally secure, otherwise Christ would have never given this promise to the “twelve” which includes Judas Iscariot (Matthew 19:28). It is only after this that Judas allowed iniquity in his heart and by his own deliberate will fell by his own iniquity (Acts 1:25; Heb. 3:12-15).

“Saying, I (Judas) have sinned in that I have betrayed the innocent blood. And they said, What is that to us? see thou to that.” Matthew 27:4

“Eternal security”? Don’t kid yourself. Moral cowards who refuse to take person accountability for their every thought, motive, and deed love this lie. Satan’s first lie – which led to the fall of mankind (Gen 2:17; 3:4).

“For if AFTER they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are AGAIN entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning. 21 For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, AFTER they have known it, to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:20-21
