People of distinction

When we speak on end times, we get a wide array of opinions and thoughts on when the last moments will tally up. My impression in the Lord is it will be sooner than we think. The reason I say that, is not only the signs,(for indeed their have been signs throughout the centuries) but never the less there seems to be a fell swoop of signs pointing towards change in the last year alone. Does it mean tomorrow, well, maybe not, but see it doesn't matter if its tomorrow or next year or five years hence.

It matters a great deal that YOUR where you need to be and that your mind and thoughts are not slipping into a lazy stance, because this is where deception finds an easy and sure footing. Church, we have no discipline, we have allowed all manner of lies and half truths to infiltrate the body. False teachers, false prophets, and false movements abound.. And we accept them, shaking off the fears and instincts God gave us to satisfy whatever carnal desire it is we have for MORE.

Regarding false prophets who ask to get for what they give. Is it maybe just that we want more money, or stuff, or fluffy promises of a brighter tomorrow? We stand in lines and pay someone hundreds or even thousands of dollars to receive more. Now mind you all they are giving us is a prayer, (which most saints will give you with tons of faith added in at no charge, and sprinkles of hugs included as love tax, but we prefer to pay our way from a man with a self imposed title of prophet to get prayer rather than receive one from our tried and true Sis- little grey haired Mary Anne's heartfelt one, (the names been changed to protect a thousand beautiful saints who pray radically for people daily, Bless your beautiful hearts!)  Oh but there will be a souvenir stand just outside the door where you can buy reminders of your warm fuzzy at trumped up prices for a pen flashlight that says "BAM, you've been shmoozed for God!"

You get what you pay for, a good show, lively entertainment, and less money in your pocket. Now part of what you got from this guy were some nice words, made you feel good, very inspiring, but did your soul change, did your world shift, did you go full circle and cause revival, touch souls? Did you become a radical? was your world turned upside down?  No,? just specially for you eh? OK lovely, think on this, the Prophets of old purposing was to change, rebuke, and cause revival in the kingdom. They were messengers for a purpose. If it doesn't change a Kingdom, (even if its your own Kingdom) its a word, not a prophetic ministry, a word. You paid for a warm fuzzy. But today, prophets oft times come with threats, rebukes, and subtle remarks that don't chastise you to change, they chastise you to pay up. So really you got a cold and nasty right before you got your warm fuzzy.
Where as back in the day of the old prophets when a vision or word was given, it brought your view TO God, but now, the view is on you. Hmm, Interesting..


How can any man who professes to honor God, speak down to, threaten, and claim ill over another believer.?.think hard, is that how JESUS responded to others? No baby it is not, neither did he charge them, but he did,change them and he did offer good to them, but never ever do you find anywhere where the prophet of all prophets, Jesus Christ - Charged them..  Gonna make a point here your probably NOT going to want to hear. See you've come into agreement with such things not because there aren't warning bells going off, but because we shut off the alarm system..and why do we do that? Well, because we WANT something, usually we want a green something..Plain and simple we are selfish. So gonna ask you this.. Do You worship GOD or MAMMON? (money) Jesus called money filthy, the root of evil, etc. Do we honor God when we give to get? better get real beloved..that's a NO.

False teachings also abound, ideas passed down from generations of folk who because it was told to them by someone in authority simply believe it. Ironically this reminds me of the old saying if your friends jumped off the Cliff would you? The answer alot of times is the church saying emphatically, "Where's the cliff?" I encourage,(better yet beg you!) to check everything you learn or hear, with the word of God, and not only that ..but, look into the history, read the entire chapter, not just the verse referred to, read the history that went with the situations, read the after, the before, the middle, read the footnotes, read the Hebrew meaning, or the Greek- find the intent behind the content, because we are passing down stuff and nonsense that is a "believed" thing, and not an UNDERSTOOD one. Don't follow anyone just because they are a leader, if bad words or thoughts come out of that man or woman consistently  (we can all make a mistake now and then, but I am saying error after error) Then get yourself to a new place and teaching!!

False movements, oh yes beloved there are oodles of those..My firm belief is that every false movement in God was preceded by someone who had something genuine, but the minute it goes global, the minute it spills out into the church and becomes a fad, or popular thing to do we are beginning to move in learned behaviors and not the spirit. Learned behaviors are bad because they falsify the genuine, they drum up experience and heighten it to dramatic proportions and then when it plummets, it carries a tsunami of people crashing down with it, leaving people hungering for real, or falling for anything that brings the false atmosphere back, or causing them to completely leave the body forever, because they sense the false and believe all things God are untrue. Step away from fads, popular sayings, popular quotes, popular theologies, if they have become faddish and a tag to your faith - Remember the word of God is fresh, new, powerful and multifaceted, the move of God is life changing, it doesn't need our drummed up responses to make it more legitimate, God can stand on his own.

God is calling a people out, they are strong and determined in the Lord, they use the word of God as a meter and a balance , they seek God hungry and will NOT be denied, they follow passionately and without allowing nonsense to dictate their common sense, they stand out from the crowds and are not intimidated into conforming, they are willing to speak up when there is falseness or evil intent. They are warriors prepared for battle, their lamps are full, they know the Word and yield it with truth and compassion, strong, righteous, ready, a People of distinction. Are you going to be one of them?
