The Prophet’s Gift of Sarcasm

When I hear a pastor teaching nonsense and purposely distorting what the Scriptures teach, I always ask God about their motives.

Recently a pastor preached that God’s prophets are not true prophets if they’re not submitted to a church authority. I asked God why the pastor purposely brought that false doctrine. God said that the pastor is jealous of my giftings and wants to dissuade people from believing that I’m God’s prophet, apostle and deliverance minister. Do you think he’s jealous? God says he is.

To the pastor: There is absolutely NOTHING in the (Old Testament or New Testament) Scriptures that says that a prophet must be under the authority of a church body. No matter how much you want to twist the texts of the Bible, you are wrong. But perhaps, you’re counting on the laziness of your churchgoers to check the Scriptures for themselves. (Because let’s face it, you believe your congregants are actually more stupid than you are.)

But for the anointed true Christ follower all they would have to do is have a simple conversation with God and listen to His answer. Because we are supposed to hear God, right? (Can you hear the sarcasm in my words?) So, who is up for the challenge? All you would need to do is simply ask God. “God, is Tammie Edwards your prophet?” Or you could ask “God, do your prophets need to be a member of a church that teaches false doctrine in order to be under your authority as the head of the church?”

Maybe you could ask a question that you don’t really want to hear the answer to, like “God, is the pastor at my church teaching false doctrine?” Another possible question might be “God, is the pastor of my church an idiot?” Perhaps you’re not practiced at asking God questions because you’ve only been taught to give God all your wise advice (Did you hear the sarcasm again?).

Try actually having a conversation with God where you listen to His voice and SEEK HIM rather than tell Him.

Tammie Edwards,
Christian Apostle, Prophet & Deliverance Minister

Extinguish Your Giftings?

Over the years that I have not belonged to a church family (at a church building), I have asked the Lord many times to provide a place that I could have as a church home. Oh, He sends me, but every time He shows me that I’m not welcome.

This morning, the first words I heard from the Lord were “they want to extinguish your gifts”. That fired me up before my head was off the pillow. The Lord went on to say that not one of the local churches could handle having me in their congregation without wanting to strip the titles from me that God has given me. The problem is that they can’t “compete” with the anointing that God has entrusted me with. They would want to take away the title “prophet” because they don’t hear God and would want to pretend that I don’t either. God said that they would not permit me to be God’s apostle in their presence because that would make me more worthy than their pastors at discussing doctrine. Then the devil would lose all the ground that he has managed to take. The devil will fight for that through any vessel that is not fully submitted to God (and there are plenty of them in the churches).

So I asked God, “Does that mean that I won’t ever get to have a church home?” The Lord answered “maybe”.

Then the question came to my mind as though it had been deliberately stationed there. “Why would I want to be part of a church family that would want to extinguish my giftings and denounce my relationship with God?” I wouldn’t!

So, in all these years that I have been searching for a church home, God was using that search to show me the mess that the church has become. Most of the churches would deny my rights in the Kingdom of God just because I’m a female. For sure, those churches wouldn’t accept that I’m God’s prophet or apostle because they believe that a woman must be silent … and God doesn’t anoint apostles or prophets to be silent. I guess that I must conclude that I’m just not welcome and be good with that.

God is willing for me to be a spectator of the church, but my first allegiance must always be to doing His will. That can’t happen simultaneously with being silent in the church.
