"PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!"
I am amazed today at all of the people who are suppose to be a servant of the great King above. I said "suppose to be" as in making themselves out to be. They maintain that they are moved by the Holy Spirit to receive understanding and knowledge as well as a grasp of the meanings of prophecy. They want to be recognized as prophets and ministers and seem to lack the quality of realizing they are to be his servants and even are suppose to be soldiers in his army. No one in the Kingdom of Christ gets out of military duty in his kingdom for all of us are meant to be his soldiers in his army on white horses. Sooner or later you enter the battle field and make a stand. If you are not in that battle and not making a stand he would rather you be cold or hot than be merely lukewarm. It might be better on the unbelievers than upon the moderate believer in the judgment. I think there are unbelievers, and then make believers, then there is the true believer, the called, the chosen, the elected and then the predestined sorts. Seven sorts in all. Of course many of these ministers will argue that there is no such thing as a predestined sort of soul or people. I will just let them stumble across that in the word on their on one day and then their condemnation will be ripe for the picking. Hopefully they will repent and go forwards.
"They maintain that they are moved by the Holy Spirit to receive understanding and knowledge as well as a grasp of the meanings of prophecy." If these men were truly of the Spirit then they could discern the Spirit in another also. Yet, they seem not able to recognize and discern the Spirit in others. They are more likely to count someone as an infidel or heretic. They may even count someone as being an unbeliever since they are not all that sharp on the discernment of things like they should be. If they knew the word then they would know that the word Lord in the KJV really should be translated King and hence realize that he is King now and has been King now in heaven ever since he took his rightful place after his work upon the cross. They can speak that word Lord which really originates in the English from a pagan source but they can not say that Jesus is King. It is suppose to say that no one can say that Jesus is King unless the Holy Spirit be with him. However it says Lord in the modern English Scriptures and so they say that no one can say the Jesus is Lord unless the Holy Spirit be with them.
If you understand that he is suppose to be King and then do not admit ever that he is, then something is wrong with you. Admitting that he is King might mean also that one would have to admit that as a follower of the King they are also suppose to be his soldiers. And so, I guess some want to be in his kingdom as a citizen and not have to be ever called upon for his military service. I can not say then that such souls are those we see riding on the white horses in Revelation 19. If you are not there in that army too great to count, then you are not his. If you are not in his service then you are not his. You are not following the righteous King. The King and his army is not out to do evil but out doing good. The King and his army are fighting the spiritual battle and fighting the wicked. Sometimes that leads to flesh and blood battles here in this world where the forces collide head on. Satan will always resort to actual flesh and blood physical battles if he is not getting it his way. Here in this physical reality we have to have physical arms, weapons. Else the enemies of us all would over take and kill us all. How can some be so dumb? Satan doesn't use a kinder or gentler society way; but that is his deception he wants you to swallow. He says "Oh but we can have a kinder and gentler world; if we would just give up all arms and open all boarders. We can all unite as one in this world." Then when the people believe that, he opens up the flood gates and then in come the hoards. Honestly now, can you ever see men in this world uniting as one? No, that is a dream and men will always have sorts that want to take from others what does not belong to them.
Well, these sorts of end time prophets and prophecy teachers and preachers all want to be the top dog, the alpha rooster. They even compete against each other openly at times; over who is suppose to be the real prophet in this world as if they are the only one. There are suppose to be prophets plural in the body of Christ. I do not see anyone as the top dog. Yet they are all wanting to go to a Mt Carmel show down as if it is a wild west shoot out, to see who amongst them will be vindicated and hence justified by the Mighty One as the chief one or even as the only true one. Chances are that some local soul is more likely to be moved upon and obtain a prophetic word that I might benefit by; and more so than some of these fellows out in the world.
I would not want to be a prophet, I would rather have discernment and judgment but with that does come prophecy. We all are able to be moved upon by the Spirit in a prophetic way and hence inwardly the Spirit can give us all a prophecy. Yet some will say "Not so!" Sometimes in our lives the gifts of the Spirit operate in such a way that we can have had experience with them all operating in us. However we tend to have one gift that operates in us mostly. Yet, if you never have spoken in tongues then do not worry, the first gift of the spirit is faith and then maybe you'd rather work miracles than speak in tongues? Some teach however that speaking is tongues is the initial evidence of the Spirit. That is a lie since the initial evidence is faith. Faith is listed as the first gift of the spirit. Faith comes first in all things. Let us grow up here and be wise.
Some use the initial evidence doctrine as a means to exercise their elitism spirit just like the Christian Identity (British Israelitism) folk use their blood lines to maintain they are the elect as descendants of the tribe of Ephraim. Trusting in vain genealogies.
Let me say that we are not saved by the name of Abraham on us, or the name of Jacob on us, or the name of Ephraim on us: nor by remnants of their blood in us. Being a Jew will not save you. We are saved by the name of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and by the blood of the Lamb. The elect and Holy people are not the tribes, but the elect and Holy people are all of the believers in the body of Christ. These are the Holy peoples and the saints and have been such ever since Christ. Ishmael descended from Abraham and so did that make his people the Holy people? Edom or Esau descended from the Issac as the brother of Jacob but did that make Edom the Holy people? If all of the people of Israel were Holy then why did God destroy a bunch of them in the wilderness? And then why did he allow them to go captive to Babylon? Holy people came out of Israel; but not all of the people of Israel were Holy.
The blood of Israel will not save you. It matters not who your ancestors are and what sort of claim you make. You may claim you have a right to all of the benefits of the Kingdom to come foremost than others; since you are a descendant of Abraham perhaps through Ephraim but this will not make you a king in the kingdom since Jesus is the King there and there is no need for another king. But you can twist the scriptures all you want. I think that the people who see themselves as being Israel by way of descending from Israel by blood lines believe they have a right to be the kings in the future kingdom. A king for each of the lost ten tribes; and so, they seek a kingdom they have not come to as yet. And for now, they are content to rule through their one hour broadcast on international radio where they make themselves out to be the true kings and heirs of the kingdom.
We are saved by the name of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and by the blood of the Lamb.
When we read that He will make us a nation of Kings and Priest we are seeing a nation where all are Sovereigns and able to Minister. Such a nation was founded on earth and was called the United States Of America and so now you are going about listening to fellows who tell you that sovereign rights mean nothing and that you might as well give them up since we are going to come into a new kingdom eventually. Yep; a kingdom where they want to be top dogs and the alpha male roosters. We are already sovereign citizens here in the USA and have as much right to be a minister as anyone else on earth. Being He did make all of his believers to be ministers of his gifts.
The word tells us that who ever receives and believes in Christ shall be saved: "Whosoever believes in me shall not perish but have everlasting life."
An example here! How is it then that contrary to the word; the radio prophet RG Stair demands that we receive him or be damned? Here something is clearly wrong! Something is clearly against the promises of Christ. Yet I suppose he has a well honed explanation or excuse for this? It surprises me not that he has a well polished doctrine to handle why everybody must receive him before Christ. That is before the return of Christ.
Also when a man tells us that we can not understand the scriptures without his help then he is contrary to what the scriptures tell us about the work of the Holy Spirit to reveal the word to us. Without human agency whatsoever! If we believe this promise of Christ then it comes true in our lives. To say that we need a man to teach us is contrary to this and is against the Holy Spirit: and this is denying the work of the Holy Spirit in the individual life of the believer. When the promises are to all who will believe! And not slighting anyone for Christ is no respecter of persons.
"But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him." 1 John 2:27
When Christ told us about false christ and false prophets in the last days he did not tell us to go out in turn to try and find a true prophet! He said nothing about trying to find a true prophet instead.
Look: You have a right to question things! Don't think you don't, or do not let someone tell you that you must blindly accept them as the truth. Examine everything you can if you feel you need to! Remember that corruptions of the word occur when the word is spoken over the lips of men since many men have as it were a forked tongue. And sometimes even us who are believers get things wrong! Moses smote the rock when he was told that all he had to do was speak to it. So he was punished for this.
