Two important pages from “The Covenant Voice of God” edition of The Rogue Prophet Magazine. Same God/Savior, same covenant promise, but different sign of the covenant, people of the covenant, and atonement methods.
Do you HAVE ACCESS to God for covenant restoration conversation?
“But they mocked God’s messengers, despised his words and scoffed at his prophets until the wrath of the LORD was aroused against his people and there was no remedy.” (2 Chronicles 36:16 NIV)
For the last 20+ years, I have been hearing God and delivering warnings from Him. There have been many times that people close to me have gossiped about me implying that I’m delusional for hearing God’s voice. Despite their betrayals, I have consistently tried to teach them to hear God too. I have completed workbooks, newsletters, magazines and a website to communicate the importance of hearing God. None of it has worked because they refuse to know God. They are stubborn and stiff-necked. I am tired of it, but … when God decided that they had finally aroused His wrath, “there was no remedy”.
I knew that when God said to distance myself from them, that it was time for His justice to set things right. I have never liked seeing someone get disciplined. I remember that when my dad would take his belt off to punish one of my siblings, my heart would sink. So when God is delivering His punishment, I would really rather not know about it except in hindsight. God is a God of justice. If He didn’t punish the offenders then it would be the same as not defending the victims. How could He be a loving God if He allowed for His beloved to be mocked and attacked for their faith and perseverance? I do want justice even if it is against those that I once held dear especially when they have done so much to destroy me and nothing to support the ministry that God ordained for me. I trust God to see everything, even their remorse, and render justice appropriately.
I guess their road to redemption must begin with apologizing to God for making Him watch while they defamed my character, attacked my faith, humiliated my loved ones, and mocked His ability to be a God who speaks. Then, they must apologize to me (and I want it in writing), make amends in every way possible, confess their wrongs to everyone that they turned against me, and stop playing the victim every time that I obey God instead of them. Maybe then, they would turn and be healed.
Recently, a woman commented on one of my social media posts insisting that there are no prophets of God today. I know where she gets her false doctrine having been brought up in the same non-charismatic religious beliefs where God is mute, distant and is confined to the pages of a book unable to communicate with us except through Scripture. Below are Bible proof texts to help her and others have better understanding. My preference would be that each person would learn to hear God for themselves, then they wouldn’t need to believe me or receive a prophetic word from God through me.
“The man without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14 NIV)
Spiritual gifts are an anointing from God. Some gifts are embedded in our spiritual DNA. Those gifts reside in us and will be used by God when we are yielded to Him. Other gifts require a manifestation of the Spirit of God. The gift of prophecy is in both the service gifts and the miraculous gifts.
Spiritual Gifts of Service: “For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.” (Romans 12:4-8 NIV)
Miraculous Gifts of the Spirit: “There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work. Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-11 NIV)
I’m not sure when the woman mentioned thinks that the Holy Spirit became unable to manifest power to speak words of prophecy to or through believers, but the Bible clearly says that we should expect to hear God if we belong to God (Reference John 8:47). God doesn’t need permission from anyone to supernaturally empower believers as He chooses.
In all seven letters to the churches in the book of Revelation we are told “Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches.” Why would we need ears to hear what the Spirit says to the churches, if we were not supposed to bring a message forward to the churches when false doctrine is being taught?
“Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.” (2 Peter 1:20-21 NIV)
The Covenant Voice of God
The Rogue Prophet Magazine
Draft 7/7/24
It’s likely that many churchgoers have never experienced what it’s like to walk with the Spirit of God. As a result, they cannot fathom the overwhelming presence of God or His supernatural anointing. They miss out on fellowship with the Almighty. Some are not even sure that He is real.
As one who grew up in the church, I was instructed to study a Bible, not to walk with God. It was if God were dead and all we had left of Him was a book of instructions. But then … I heard the voice of the Almighty speak to me in prayer. Everything changed! When we commit to covenant relationship with God, we are promising on oath to obey Him wholeheartedly. How can we obey Him without hearing His voice? We are often taught by pastors to interpret the Bible and follow rules agreed upon by the church. How does that process create intimacy with God? God is not a book, and He’s not dead. God is Spirit. I’m so disappointed with the church leaders whom I trusted to teach me to know God. They never once told me that I should expect to hear God’s voice. They wasted every opportunity to teach me true obedience to God. I promise you that I won’t waste my voice of truth. I will teach believers to know God.
In this edition of The Rogue Prophet Magazine, we will study what it means to have faith, grasp spiritual discernment, revisit the Biblical stories of those who heard God speak, discuss the profession of faith versus the covenant oath of allegiance, and walk through steps to discerning the voice of God. There is so much that I want to cover in these pages. But I realize that it’s difficult to navigate the unknown and to set time aside to earnestly pursue hearing the voice of God. I have tried to condense this study as much as possible while still bringing the most important topics forward. My hope is that if I can help you get to a place where you are hearing God’s voice, then you and God can take it from there. I’m counting on you to give this your best effort! God is too!
The covenant relationship is integral to hearing the voice of God. If you are not in unbroken covenant with Him, you cannot expect productive prayer conversations between you and Him. Initiating or restoring a broken covenant are prerequisite to being positioned to hear God speak direction for your decisions. If He’s not your only God, then He won’t take second place or share His throne.
You will need to decide how much you are willing to sacrifice to make God priority. Wholeheartedly actually means wholeheartedly. One day, the Lord is going to call you to step into the destiny path that He has uniquely ordained for you. Will you willingly lay down all the encumbrances and follow Him? Can He trust you to be faithful with the anointing? If not, why should He bother speaking to you?
“but I gave them this command: Obey me, and I will be your God and you will be my people. Walk in obedience to all I command you, that it may go well with you.” (Jeremiah 7:23 NIV)
The latest edition of The Rogue Prophet Magazine is on the covenant voice of God. I’m hoping that you will comment and provide feedback as I share pages during the next month. This is a draft cover page. The reduced inset pages will likely change as I redesign the associated content pages. It’s nice for me to have your insight and questions to improve pages to reach a larger audience. It’s my life’s mission to deliver this message. I value your input.
If you are attending a church that teaches that there are three gods (aka trinity) that church is not a Christian church.
Christianity is monotheistic, meaning one God. To be clear, there is only one God. God is His title, much like “mom” and “dad” are titles. God’s name is Jesus. Just like your mom and dad have names, you don’t call them by their names, you call them by their most excellent title. However, if you’re introducing your parents to someone, you would use their names. When I’m talking to God or about Him, I refer to Him as God, but when I need to be specific for others, I use His name “Jesus”.
God is Spirit. When God, as Spirit, wanted to make His presence known on earth, He created a flesh and blood frame delivered through the human reproduction process. God provided the daddy seed implanted in a human woman named Mary. Mary gave birth to the flesh and blood frame. She did not give birth to the Spirit of God who created her. The invisible Spirit of God put on visible flesh and walked out ministry on this planet.
The title “Son of God” refers solely to the flesh and blood frame that was created by God. Jesus is God. He is God’s Spirit. He is the one and only Spirit of God. The flesh and blood frame was temporary but the Spirit of Jesus is eternal. He is the first and the last. Jesus is the one and only God. There are not three gods in Christianity.
If you want further explanation about this, please reach out to me. The “three gods” doctrine is the major false doctrine in the churches today. You should only have covenant relationship with one God, not three. If you are not in covenant relationship with God, you should not expect to hear His voice in prayer. I truly want to help you know how to hear God so that you can have fellowship with the Creator. It’s my mission in life!
