Include ME!
My friend Hope directed her audience to this video a few days ago and I wanted to share this message with you guys as well. I found it very encouraging and timely, especially for all of us who are watching so intently. Watching is a good thing, but if we watch so closely that our relationship and quiet time with Him suffers, that is not good. We must be continually reminded that watching FOR Him does not replace fellowship WITH Him... Watching should not take all our time and energy so we have none left to be alone with Him. I have been guilty of this many times the last several months, so this was a great reminder for me personally, perhaps you as well.

My daughter, write My words for those with ears to hear.
Hear My words of encouragement, My loves.
My plans will occur in My timing, and they are very specific, My children. For they have been laid out since before your earth’s time began. Children, you must focus on My perfection now, not forgetting that all things will work together for My purposes. So many simply focused on My timing that they are forgetting to allow for Me to take part in their lives. They get excited, and when certain days or dates come and go, they get disappointed and down.
Children, I love it when you watch for My signs and you work to solve My mysteries, for this is shared with you in My word. My word does tell you to be alert and watch, but, My children, do not do these things to the detriment of learning who I am. For if you do not know Me, how can you walk the way I want for you to walk? You must know My heart well before you seek to solve My puzzles, and whether you solve My mysteries or not, they will unfold exactly the way that I intend for them to unfold, and there will be parts of My Grand Plan that you never saw coming.
Seek Me on everything now, My loves. I want to surround your every thought, word, and deed. Do not let the enemy steal you away from time spent with Me with his distractions. Stay focused on Me and give him no credit or thought. The more time you spend focused on his attacks, the more effective they become. Rebuke him in My Name and move on. Do not dwell on his distractions, but dwell on My perfect outcome, My loves. I delight in our time together, My children, for each of us share Our individual connections and relationships. While one of My children may receive through praise and worship, another might receive through quiet time and silent prayer. All of My children are different, and Our relationships come in every flavor.
As your world becomes darker, Our time together becomes more and more imperative. You must recognize that I am by your side. I promise to never leave or forsake you. Know, My children, that I am in control of the outcomes. Receive My peace in these matters. When you walk in the knowledge that My plan is perfect, and My timing is eternally perfect, My peace will overwhelm you. The world around you in its chaos, will have little to no effect on you because you already know that My plan is perfect. You will walk in peace in all that you do.
Press into Me now, My loves, making Me your number one priority, for I am not just God of the monumentus, but I am a God of your smallest problem. Include Me in every detail, every plan, every conversation. Whether you are doing the most simple of chores or setting off on a world wide adventure, bring Me along. Be in My peace and presence through whatever you do. Do not underestimate what I want for you in your life, My loves.
Prepare for doors to be opened now. Prepare for My grace and love to be pouring through you and reaching many. Prepare for many supernatural miracles to follow as I shine My light through you. Where you have felt oppression in the past, now claim My victory. Where doors have remained shut, they will now open freely, for in your dreams fulfilled, I receive My glory. Nothing is too hard for Me. Prepare for a time of blessing, My loves. For now, I will pour Myself out upon you. Receive Me, My children, for when you receive the good gifts I have for you, My glory is spread upon this earth.
Receive all I have to offer. Do not continue to walk under the shadow of the enemy. When he attacks with lack, I will more than provide. When he attacks with discord, I will bring My peace. When he attacks with sickness, I will bring healing. When he attacks with darkness, I will shine My face upon you. Walk in My righteousness, walk in My truth. When you walk with Me, he has no choice but to flee.
I love you, My children. Yeshua Ha’Hashiach

I do not believe that the Lord is "communicating" with us in personal letter-type messages such as this, written in the first person as if Jesus were writing it. It sounds so much like the "Jesus Calling" books which are often heretical in nature. The Bible is the Lord's completed Word, and all that we need is there.
ReplyDeleteThere is no one on the planet that is more desperate for the Rapture to occur than I, so I understand the extreme disappointment of so many when that blessed event did not occur on 9/23. And the level of foolishness that I have seen from that date until now is not helping matters any. In fact, it is dangerous. So much false teaching! I call on everyone to stop it, if they are involved in the wild machinations. And for those not directly involved in spinning this web of deception, turn away from it all and instead, let us immerse ourselves in the Scripture.
Something wonderful happened in the heavens on 9/23/17. We saw Revelation 12: 1 and 2 fulfilled, and it was magnificent. Now, let us reverently wait for the next three verses to come to pass. They will, just as the Lord told us.
Hear, hear. Thank you for stating the truth so plainly. I agree 100 percent, and this was the fundamental point of my last article.
DeleteSadly, this is not what the date-seeking crowd wishes to hear, so it was greeted with thundering silence.
Oh well...I guess it's back to sweet obscurity for me.
Like I care.
Myrrh, you think "there's no one on the planet that is more desperate on the rapture to occur than you" are? Well, HERE I AM! ÷} Much love sister... See you soon in person
DeleteMaybe read 1Corinthians 12,13, and 14 to help you see that the Holy Spirit continues His ministry through us today....1 cor 14:1 pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.
DeleteHi all... I figured this type of reaction was coming... and I understand and appreciate you sharing your comments. You are not obligated to agree with this word (or any word) not found directly in the Bible. Use your personal discernment as always.
DeleteI will just add this. According to the Bible God has a still small voice... (1 Kings 19:11-13) and Jesus also said that His sheep hear his voice (John 10:27). I believe God hasn't changed and it makes sense that since we are born of the spirt we can connect with Him spiritually. It might not be an audible voice, but perhaps more like a flow of spontaneous thoughts. I am no expert on any of this... but I felt called to share this and have found that whenever I try to limit God that is not good either.
So has God stopped speaking... or perhaps have we stopped listening?
I love you all. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
Brad, I read this post before any comments were made and my first thought was uh oh, the darts are fixing to fly. But I knew where you coming from based on your earlier expression of your own need to back off from the wall for a bit of rest with Him. Which, of course, we do all need to do.
DeleteUnfortunately, there are some who feel the need to come in and clean or rearrange a house they did not build or furnish, rather than just enjoy their welcome part in it.
To them I say take a chill pill.
As for me, Brother, I'm ready to keep walking, keep watching, and keep sharing in this mostly loving and always thought provoking fellowship, on this side of the Rapture AND on the other side. Be blessed and Maranatha!
I find any time I am tempted to say Abba Father, the Lord Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit who created the Heavens and the Earth cannot do this, that or the other thing - I need to check my ego. Thankfully, I am able to restrain myself from doing such a thing. When you have been blessed by the miraculous in your own life, as I have personally, you no longer find it difficult to conceive of the miraculous in other people's lives. Does God speak to believer's today? Yes, He has spoken to me in my Spirit - not with an audible voice. Does He heal today? Yes, He has healed me when doctors said there was no hope. How did He do that? He is God. He gets to do anything He chooses. Does that mean we are not to use discernment and submit everything to the Word of God for confirmation? Certainly not. It was in the Word of God I was able to find out what had happened to me when I had been raised to believe in Cessationism. They were wrong, though well intentioned, and God is always Right. Be Discerning, submit everything to the Word of God and to the Holy Spirit. If you ask for Bread, He will not give you a stone.

I just read the transcript of the video above and I thought, exactly what did I just read? Am I to believe those words are the 21st-century equivalent of the red words in my red-letter edition of the Bible? Or are those words nothing more than what some imaginative woman fancies the Lord MIGHT write to her (if he was in the habit of writing letters of this sort)?
ReplyDeleteLike Myrrh above (and many others) I was disappointed when 9/23 came and went and found myself and my family still here. As some of you may know, I have been looking forward to our Blessed Hope for a very long time (since 1982, in fact, when I wrote this song):
http://godlychristianmusic.com/music/play2.aspx?id=3012&type=song.mp3
But I agree with Myrhh above when he/she says, "...the level of foolishness that I have seen from that date until now is not helping matters any. In fact, it is dangerous. So much false teaching! I call on everyone to stop it, if they are involved in the wild machinations. And for those not directly involved in spinning this web of deception, turn away from it all and instead, let us immerse ourselves in the Scripture." If anyone would like to discuss this further with me, we can do it here (I'll click the notify button) or you can write me directly (gerry.rzeppa@pobox.com). Maybe it's time for a fresh start on a fresh blog.
I don't believe Jesus spoke or dictated these words. It bears the earmarks of false prophetic utterences such as long-windedness ; vague , inoffensive instructions that don't contradict scripture...but don't tell us anything we didn't know; and a generous peppering of " my children" and " my loves". There's a distinct sameness to them. Jesus never spoke like that.
ReplyDeleteI believe God is always speaking- in one way or another. He has spoken to me in a variety of ways throughout my life, so I don't discount people's claims out of hand. But we believers have the Holy Spirit living in us. He leads us into all truth. We don't need someone as a intermediary passing along daily messages . Perhaps the people who deliver these messages should present them as impressons they have received, filtered through their own fallible minds. When they insist it's really God the Father or Jesus speaking through them, it gives me the creeps.
Great encouragement, but agree with the others above. "Thus saith the Lord" moments have to be treated with heaps of discernment...and we have already had three concerned reviews already. Perhaps we could encourage Hope to write this in a way where she is encouraging us to seek the Lord more in these moments (etc), with the words coming from her heart rather than a claim to hear with incredible accuracy the word of the Lord (even though I accept it could be from the Lord). Gosh - Hope - if you are reading this: please hear our hearts of concern rather than hearing a voice of judgement.

I am surprised at these comments. This is not my video, this belongs to my friend Barb. However, I posted it as I have many of hers, because she hears the Lord and more importantly, she tells us what He told her to say to us. She is obeying God despite those that come against her.
ReplyDeleteI do understand however...that it's difficult to believe that one can hear from the Lord these days. I believed that in the past as well. In fact, the Lord showed me first...that the enemy speaks too. This is precisely why we are told to test all spirits. The demon spirits speak to some and they kill and destroy and cause havoc. The demons speak to others and they become New Agers and tell of the way of enlightenment...never EVER pointing back to Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, Creator of the world! After I learned how the enemy spoke, I was VERY hostile to anyone who said they actually heard from God. Yet throughout the past few years, God has shown me differently. He would say why do we believe demons still speak, and yet not the Almighty God? Who does the devil copy and mimic? Almighty God! Does the Lord only reveal His Signs in the sky, but never speak to His children today? The Lord tells us exactly how to hear Him in Psalm 46:10. He spoke for thousands of years from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Where in the Bible does it tell us that one day a child of God will no longer hear from God? As a parent, do you stopped speaking to your child at a certain point? God gave visions and dreams and Messages in the Bible...He still does today. My guess is that some of you have even had a dream that you knew without a shadow of a doubt, that it was from God. Job 33 tells us that God instructs us in the night. Psalm 16 confirms that. Who are we to say He has stopped speaking during the daytime?
I would strongly encourage you to ask God to show you the truth. Does He still speak today? Then wait patiently for His answer. He is our loving and kind Father, showing mercy to all and answering every prayer. Is it not a good prayer from a child asking their father if he still talks to them? I am SO glad I asked years ago...my life has changed for the better and Christ lives in me, the hope of Glory!
Amen.
DeleteDear Hope I understand what you're saying and I've got "no dog in this race" as a dear brother framed it so perfectly ;) and in general you're certainly right about Job 33 God speaking in different ways to everyone together with the gifts within the church of 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 12:6-8 .
DeleteBut I can also understand those who do rebuke a certain WORDING that very much reminds of contemporary NAR church or New Age speech. I'm very cautious with that as well. Especially today in endtimes, huge doctrinal errors are so nicely wrapped into real scriptures very subtly that they are very hard to recognize even for the mature sheep.
So when I hear "my loves" instead of the biblical "beloved" as e.g. the apostles John adresses true believers in his first letter (dealing with false teachers!) this sounds strange to me first. Second, if I hear that I will "receive peace when walking in the knowledge that (Jesus') plan is perfect" then this a) sounds like a work-based faith to me and b) this is in fact NOT the original source of MY heavenly peace according to John 14:27 and Philippians 4:7. Third, there is no biblical framing of verses included like e.g. many of the sermons of some brother CH Spurgeon are paraphrased so that you can immediately know them from your bible. I could go on about this video but this is just an example how I do myself check formulations like this according to scriptures to see if they do REALLY come from God. If anything cannot be backed up with His plain written word 100% for any reason whatsoever I do rebuke it; may it sound so neat and lovingly as it is phrased here. Satan comes as an angel of light together with his companions and his tongue is sugar sweet, this I know for sure 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 . No offense intended but caution needed. Much blessings to you!
Annabel--- As I was reading your reply, I was thinking the 2 Corinthians passage about "angel of light" and then you referenced it at the end. Yes! That says it all. Here it is so everyone can clearly see what it says so that it can be a guide to us in these treacherous times. It appears that satan is really working his way into the scene here, and we MUST be on guard.
Delete2 Cor. 11:12 And what I am doing I will continue to do, in order to undermine the claim of those who would like to claim that in their boasted mission they work on the same terms as we do. 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. 15 So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds.
well said, Hope!
DeleteHope InHim,
DeleteI believe one can hear from God accurately as in your night psalms in call for the bride website. In fact on 07/20/17 you wrote about California fires before it happens!
07/20/17 – My Hand
Your world will burn. My craft, My creation, it has come down to the wire and already started. You can see it in California, it is NOT fake news. She is dying and she will fall soon. Her borders will change and the world will see My hand.
Then on 06/27/17 you wrote about the 40 days - 40 more days to bring My children Home. I am not sure what that means. But Daniel Matson from WatchForTheDay, recently come out with the 40 days parallel illustration.
Also in your dream on $49.49 price tag on the wine bottle, Daniel Matson recently also come out with the Daniel 7 weeks illustration, talking about the two timelines of 49years.
To Greg L. Annabel, DJ, Kathy, and Through and Through--- Thank you for commenting. I was feeling very "isolated" for the last few weeks but a little afraid to speak out since so many seemed to be going in another direction. But this video forced me to take a stand. It was just too much.
ReplyDeleteAnd Kathy, you hit the nail right on the head when you said: "...a generous peppering of 'my children' and ' my loves.' There's a distinct sameness to them. Jesus never spoke like that." and "When they insist it's really God the Father or Jesus speaking through them, it gives me the creeps." You are absolutely correct and I feel the same. This "channeling" of Jesus is nothing short of New Age heresy/blasphemy.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
I believe this is happening, and I do not want to be a part of it.
No need to add to His words or take away. Agreed, I'd rather just read my Bible, read Yeshua's words. There's blessing enough there.
DeleteThat is exactly right, Reticentindignation. His Word is complete and all we need in there.
DeleteI Corinthians 4:6 ...that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another.
Wow. I think Brad touched Truth in sensing this moment was coming. As Paul tells us, there are two spirits at work in us all and their struggle complicates our walk continuously (Rom 7:23). As such it is expected that we will stray a bit from the True path at moments as we strive to fellowship with our Lord and others. Again, unfortunately, as deception is the enemy's tool and ever at work around us, this can get even trickier.
ReplyDeleteFortunately. our Lord determines our footfalls and indwells our lives and we can trust in these Truths. It is good to see the passion of us Watchers rise so swiftly and resolutely to stand up for the clear Truth of Scripture and to throw a serious caution flag when we see something which wanders a bit far afield from the commonly recognized and sanctioned sources of Revelation.
In closing, however, I would remind the guardians amongst us to also be cautioned to recall that "... speaking the truth in love, (we) may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ" (Eph 4:15). As our Savior tells us, "By THIS shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another" (Jn 16:35, KVJ, emphasis mine) we must be careful to set our apples of truthful rebuke into the setting of fine silver crafted by a loving approach so the worldly will ALSO see the Love of our Lord even as we hold each other accountable (Prov 25:11). Maranatha!
1 John 4: 6 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
ReplyDelete17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD.
Have you not read the words of Paul, the Apostle...these words are one of the 9 sprititual gifts found here:
ReplyDelete1 Cor 12:1 "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed [ignorant]. 2 You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. 3 Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says “Jesus is accursed!” and no one can say “Jesus is Lord” except in the Holy Spirit.
4 Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; 5 and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; 6 and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in everyone. 7 To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. 8 For to one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are empowered by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills."
You people are denying scripture...you people are full of what is known as a "religious spirit"...you look down you doctrinal noses at others you simply are envious of...of course God speaks to his own sheep...Paul's word above directly states this as a spiritual gifts...it's called a "gift of word of Knowledge"...why do you kick against the goads...you people are no different than the pharisees that questioned the authority of Jesus himself when he walked the earth...
You are to take these words from these messengers and go to the Holy Spirit for confirmation and compare these words to existing recorded scripture. That is what you are to do with these, but instead you allow the 'religious spirit' that resides within you to tell you what to say...you are the same people that think all worship in church must be with a piano or organ...even though King David never called for a piano or organ...he called for a guitar, drum and cymbals...it's the same spirit leading you...
Well said
DeleteIt's ironic that some see two spirits at work here..one good and one evil. Yet what are we asking? Does God still speak to His children today? If you are not ready to ask Him that, then you are not ready to hear Him. He does not want us to go to men with questions, neither a preacher nor a spouse nor an online friend. But rather Him. In fact, that is what this Message to us is all about...INCLUDE ME! To point back to the original post from Brad....that is our goal. Jesus first, then watching. As we watch for Him, let us not ignore even the slightest...our daily walk and devotion to Him. In that we can all agree!
ReplyDeleteSo very true Hope. These kinds of comments is why many do not share. I personally will not unless God tells me to. When in excitement and love of brothers and sisters one does share this is very discouraging to get from family. It takes bravery to open up like that.
DeleteI'd also like to add that for a person to try and fool others would never be the heart of a child of God. Discern and let God judge.
Dear Hope, I'm not sure if you have read my above reply about WORDING and proving it along scriptures (+ the example from this video where "peace" comes from)? Did you see what I'm saying or didn't you? Blessings...
DeleteYes Annabel, I read your response. God speaks of My children in the Old Testament, and the Song of Solomon is a beautiful Book written about a Beloved. Jesus loves His bride and may call her Beloved or My loves...it is all from God. If I were to put God in a box and say He would never call His children...loves...then shame on me. I have asked the Lord to open my ears to hear and eyes to see and if there is a new "word" that is not in the Bible, I am open to is as long as it glorifies our Lord. He knows my heart and it is true for Him. I've asked Him to show me His truth and I read that in Barb's Message from Him. I appreciate your speaking kindness but I do not wish to debate with you, however lovingly. I know and hear His Voice today and I am thrilled...absolutely thrilled that this is the case! I know He wishes for all His children to hear Him, everyone of us. If we are truly the Bride of Christ, shouldn't we long to hear His voice today? Hebrews 13:8 tells us, "Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever." I believe that speaks of His Words to His people, same as everything else in the Bible.
DeleteI am in complete agreement with you Hope! I have followed Sister Barb for a couple of years. I have also followed many others, who I eventually had to unsubscribe to, due to false teachings or messages contradictory to Scripture. Sister Barb has yet to utter any word that does so. What I have noticed with most false prophets, the messages begin with truth from God's word but, within time the lies get mixed in via New Age, Occultism, Gnosticism or legalism. I have followed Barb long enough to know that she is one of the few on YouTube who is hearing from the Lord. I, myself, know that Jesus can speaks in an audible voice because I heard it in 2013. I was a registered nurse turned drug addict, who started seeking God after hitting rock bottom. One morning, I get up and proceed to stick a needle in my arm, before I got it in, I heard audibly, You don't need that I have saved you. Imagine my surprise, I wasn't raised in church, however my family did belong to a denomination that believed the gifts of the Spirit and miracles left with the Apostles.
DeleteBrad! Thank you for posting Sister Barb's video! i truly believe she does hear from the Lord this way and i praise Him for His messages! i am not a debater so while everyone is arguing with Bible verses back and forth (which i don't think is what His Word was intended for, btw).... i would like to humbly remind everyone that this is His Show..,,He can choose to reveal Himself to whomever He pleases, however He pleases. we do best when we have faith like children and refrain from nipping and biting each other. God bless you all!
ReplyDeleteand really, Brad, thanks again for posting the Word Barb got! 😊
(i can't edit my comment. ...people really aren't nipping and biting.... my apologies for writing..... You are being very kind in this discussion. ....im just a poor debater..... begging your forgiveness)
DeleteHi Brad,
ReplyDeletePlease don’t be discouraged by the naysayers who don’t believe God can speak to people in this way. You know the truth, so stand firm. You have stepped out in faith & posted such a message, & I believe God will use this to open the spiritual eyes of your audience so they will see there is so much more to His Coming than a sign in the sky. Indeed because they were only looking for ‘a sign’ they felt disappointed & disillusioned. Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for this same thing at His first coming because they didn’t recognize His very Presence among them in real time! Nothing new under the sun. May God bless you, my friend!
To those who question if these types of messages are really from God, I pray that you will humble yourselves & ask Him to reveal this wonderful truth to you. There is a measure of pride that I am detecting in your responses which says “God doesn’t really speaks to people like this because He doesn’t talk to ME!” But I tell you truly, He communicates in a myriad of ways to everyone everywhere every day, but since the enemy doesn’t want us to recognize His voice, he ‘jams the receiver’ with our ‘human logic’ to discredit the message & messengers! Yes, it’s very important to discern who is really speaking, as Hope said, but once you realize that God CAN & DOES talk to people, your eyes & ears will be amazed by what He is ‘saying’! I personally don’t get word messages like Barb & others, but He HAS spoken single words or phrases into my mind completely out of the blue & totally unrelated to anything I was doing or thinking at the time. Often He brings a song into my mind, even a secular one, & when I look up the lyrics I find a beautiful love song from Him! He even speaks through silly things like a label on a container to answer a question!!
Listen — The enemy want us to keep God in a tiny box with all sorts of restrictions on what He can & cannot do, but God is bigger than the universe & will not be contained! He is so much more exciting & complex than just a sign in the sky!! Dare to look beyond the stars into His very Heart which He is pouring out to ALL His Children, if only we would have eyes to see & ears to hear! Ask Him to show you what is the truth & then believe that He will answer. Don’t allow the fear from the enemy (fear of being deceived) to prevent you from receiving all that God has for you. Pray for the Armor of God (Ephesians 6) to cover you as He begins to open your eyes & ears. I pray you will all be blessed with amazing new revelation about Who God is & how He moves & especially what He wants to communicate to you personally!
Blessings,
Diane
Amen sister...beautifully said! The Lord also reminded me of where in the Bible it tells us to listen for Him...
DeleteHebrews 3:7-11
So, as the Holy Spirit says: "Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, 'Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.' So I declared on oath in my anger, 'They shall never enter my rest.'
Since He spoke this to us...we should heed it!
yes, beautiful messages, Diane and Hope!
Deleteand i apologize if i offended anybody....everyone is actually being quite respectful, even in this debate
I love your comment Diane! Everything you have said beautifully describes alot of what the Holy Spirit has taught me over the last 3 years and expresses many things i too have experienced. May we all have ears to hear what the the Most High is saying! Much love sister!
ReplyDeleteDisingenuous straw man arguments claiming we are denying that God speaks today ( I and others plainly state we DO believe God speaks ) and suggesting we are jealous, don't have ears to hear, don't want to hear , are unloving , or are outright denying the Word of God, are good indications of the spirit that brought this " message". The actual warnings and criticism of "speaking" in God's voice are never addressed by the supporters ( other than to say " use discernment"). Deflections and false counter claims are classic tactics of .....well, NOT the Holy Spirit. BTW , I am His sheep. I do know His voice. And I will not follow another.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I did not read any comments that were unkind. Just forthright in contending for the faith. Is it necessary that we tiptoe through the tulips , more concerned with the possibility of hurting someone's feelings than of speaking the truth? Jesus was extremely straightforward and He IS love. I sensed something bad walk in the door so I said something.
Kathy my BELOVED sister, a huge and triple AMEN to all you've stated! Let's encourage each other to "hold fast which is good" so that "no one may take our crown". Indeed, my thoughts were the SAME when again reading through the comments of which quite a few seem blatantly ignoring what another just had explained best he could and then answering in a pretty aggressive tone. That's how we discern the spirits, BELOVED! Blessings to you and all the family, whosoever does not love the LORD Jesus Christ let him be Anathema! (which is just plain scripture I'm quoting from the verse we use mostly the word "MARANATHA" from Pauls exclamation but forgetting about the rest!!) 1 Corinthians 16:22
DeleteThank you Kathy. Yes, that is exactly what has happened.
DeleteIt is often difficult to stand up, standing on the Word of God, and speak the truth in love (as all truth should be spoken) because you know there will be a backlash form those who are not satisfied with God's Word and who crave extra-Biblical revelation that scratches their itching ears. Some of the comments here even go as far as to fault us for quoting Scripture to illustrate/defend our points. That is a big red flag for me---- when someone bristles at Scripture yet defends extra-Biblical "revelation."
I have walked with the Lord for 45 years and have never been unsatisfied by His Perfect Word. Everything we need is there. As time passes and as we grow, the Lord allows us to see more and more of what is there.
Paul speaks of the day when the sign gifts would pass away. They were no longer needed when the "Perfect" came.
I Corinthians 13:8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10 but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away.
Annabel and Myrrh,
DeleteAmen. You have both expressed yourselves more eloquently than I. Thank you.
Actually, Kathy, you were the one who clearly stated what is happening here, succinctly describing the tactics that are often used in situations like this. I have experienced this before when I have chosen to stand solidly on the Word of God and that alone.
DeleteI believe the time has come where each of us must chose. There are two camps: (1) Those who stand solely and completely on the perfect Word of God and (2) those who supplement it with dreams, visions, messages, etc. which they consider on par with God's Word.
I Corinthians 11:18 "... I hear that there are divisions among you. And I believe it in part, 19 for there must be factions among you in order that those who are genuine among you may be recognized."
I chose to stand solely on the Word of God and I am so glad to see there are others who stand with me. I appears
that the last few months have been a time of sifting.
Very well said Kathy, Myrrh, and Annabel.
DeleteLet me add that the enemy definitely did not want me posting this because I have been trying for nearly 4 hours but something in google has blocked me from posting here. It was only after Holy Spirit prompted me to try my phone that I was able to circumvent the problem😁 so His Will prevails against the enemy every time!!

Lyrics
I’ve had many tears and sorrows,
I’ve had questions for tomorrow,
there’s been times I didn’t know right from wrong.
But in every situation,
God gave me blessed consolation,
that my trials come to only make me strong.
Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to trust in Jesus,
I’ve learned to trust in God.
Through it all,
through it all,
I’ve learned to depend upon His Word.
I have to prayerfully consider certain things so I won’t add anything to the subject at hand here, except of adding a few thoughts on the topic of *correction* aka believers correcting each other. With a good chance of repeating myself, I could only say that *correction* should happen to the Holy Spirit’s prompt and strictly under His guidance. I’d be cautious not to rush and jump too quickly onto conclusion about what kind of spirit is leading another believer in Christ while keeping in mind that indeed the enemy could mess with our minds! Still, I think being cautious in that regard (as well) is important. Also, for brothers and sisters in Christ, showing the Lord’s love and graciousness to each other is really our utmost priority in everything we’re doing and saying including correction. Correcting others should happen in that manner, preceded by prayerful consideration, seeking the Lord on the matter.
ReplyDeleteWhat is furthermore urgently needed is discernment between a PERSONAL and individual message of God by hearing a "gentle voice" of the Spirit (from which we all certainly know) and a so-called "public message to the BODY of Christ" (which is rather the case in this video). Because the bible itself contains everything that's needed for God to communicate with the BODY there must be attentive caution to all messages that might ADD to or TAKE from the bible which alone is authorative for the believer. Revelation 22:18-19
ReplyDeleteAnnabel says, "What is furthermore urgently needed is discernment between a PERSONAL and individual message of God by hearing a "gentle voice" of the Spirit (from which we all certainly know) and a so-called "public message to the BODY of Christ..."
DeleteDJ replies, I agree, but I must say that statement reminds me of myriad discussions I've had with Roman Catholics who, when questioned, make a big deal out of those times when their infallible Popes were speaking "ex cathedra" (with the full authority of his office) versus when they were not. I was born and raised Roman Catholic, by the way; the story of my escape can be found in this song:
http://godlychristianmusic.com/music/play2.aspx?id=3019&type=song.mp3
It's called "Scrambled Eggs and Toast."
Annabel says, "...there must be attentive caution to all messages that might ADD to or TAKE from the bible which alone is authorative for the believer."
DJ replies, Again, I agree. But if a message neither ADDs nor TAKEs from the Bible, isn't it just another "translation" (or perhaps a "modern language transliteration") of what's already there? So why don't these folks just quote the appropriate verse(s) in whatever translation makes the point most clear? I suspect it's because it's easier and more fun to simply make up stuff than it is to study and rightly divide the Word of Truth, 2 Timothy 2:15.
Alrighty, then. If I've counted correctly, it seems that 7 or 8 of us are in favor of leaving the Bible as it stands, while some 9 or 10 of us are in favor of the "loose-leaf-binder Bible" which allows for the insertion of more recent God-breathed words. The letter at the top of this thread, for example, could be filed with the early chapters of Revelation, to be read in the same way, and with the same reverence, and as frequently, as we read the other chapters of the Bible. After all, this is Yeshua Himself speaking to us, right? But aren't we all going to need VERY BIG binders? YouTube is chock-full of this kind of stuff, and there's more coming every day.
ReplyDeleteConfirmation or coincidence?
DeleteMy post above talks above a "loose-leaf-binder Bible" in which recent "words from the Lord" can be easily inserted with God's other words, and today, exactly 3 days later, the banner on Google is celebrating the 131st Anniversary of the hole puncher!
So... confirmation or coincidence? How can we tell?
Don't know when, but I know He's comin': (Acts 1:11)
DeleteI know He will 'cause He said He would - (John 14:1-4)
He gave me His promise and I know His promise is good.
Don't know why, but I know He loves me: (John 3:16)
He died and rose just to make me His own - (John 10:15-18)
Yes, He came before and He's comin' back to take me home. (John 15:13)
Whoops, forgot the link:

Honestly, those type of comments above, the negative ones about our Sisters Revelation, a word, from Yahuah, is why I don't visit here often, it's like going to church, lots of doctrine, and my way or no way mentality, I am amazed at the folks that think they have arrived, Yahshua warned us about such, so for me, I usually just try to remain to myself, even if I do comment on here, it's almost as though I am invisible, but I am good with it, just seems a bit to clicky to me. I also won't respond to negativity. I got caught up in it once on here, learned from it, so, I won't respond to your attacks on my opinion about this site. Birekoth and Shalom!
ReplyDeleteHope InHim,
ReplyDeleteI believe one can hear from God accurately as in your night psalms in call for the bride website. In fact on 07/20/17 you wrote about California fires before it happens!
07/20/17 – My Hand
Your world will burn. My craft, My creation, it has come down to the wire and already started. You can see it in California, it is NOT fake news. She is dying and she will fall soon. Her borders will change and the world will see My hand.
Then on 06/27/17 you wrote about the 40 days - 40 more days to bring My children Home. I am not sure what that means. But Daniel Matson from WatchForTheDay, recently come out with the 40 days parallel illustration.
Also in your dream on $49.49 price tag on the wine bottle, Daniel Matson recently also come out with the Daniel 7 weeks illustration, talking about the two timelines of 49years.
Kim Yong Goh says, regarding Hope InHim, "...on 07/20/17 you wrote about California fires before it happens!"
DeleteDJ replies, Nothing miraculous there, Kim. There have been more than 50 significant wildfires in California this year, starting in April.
Kim Yong Goh also mentions a dream of a "$49.49 price tag on the wine bottle" and relates it to a Daniel Matson illustration involving two timelines of 49 years. Clearly a coincidence, at best.
C'mon, folks, help me out. i thought we were Christians, here, not soothsayers. This kind of stuff is just superstitious nonsense.
