Poisoned Discernment

There is so much pollution of the mind happening in the world today. You don’t have to look beyond the headlines to see the devil at work. What mother would murder her three precious children without being thoroughly deceived by the enemy? How could anyone get to that point?

It seems that everything is tainted with disgust. Television, movies, social media, gaming systems, and news outlets contain such violence, filth and lies. Even the churches can’t be bothered to seek God for truth. It is too much for this prophet to have to see without being heartbroken.

Why won’t people just turn to God? Why do they keep refusing to seek Him? What if that mother who killed her children would have instead woke up every day talking with God, naming each child before Him? What if she would have made sure to talk with God each night before going to bed again naming each child before Him? Would the devil have been successful disguising himself if she had more discernment that wasn’t poisoned by counterfeit reality?

I’m heartbroken that the churches continue to be poisoned by false doctrine rather than humbling themselves before the Lord and listening to His voice. Why can’t they choose to know Him? What will they continue to do against God if they can’t be taught to seek Him? Will they usher in the antichrist because they don’t have a clue who God is? It’s only been a few years ago that so many were deceived into vaccines and masks because “Science” said so.

What is on the horizon with poisoned discernment as their guide?

Is False Doctrine Evil?

“Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter.” (Isaiah 5:20 NIV)

There seems to be great ignorance in the Christian community about how God feels about false doctrine. Nobody wants to expose it because it makes their pastor look bad. They don’t want to even discuss it because they don’t know how to go to God themselves and ask Him what is the truth. So, they defend the lie rather than expose it. They call what is evil good.

It doesn’t matter how many times that I challenge them to ask God themselves. They dig in and defend the lie and the false teacher rather than asking God in prayer. I can tell you with all certainty as one who God has ordained to expose false doctrine, that they will persecute the messenger long before they will expose the lie. They will side with the false teacher against God’s demand for truth.

God sees how they wrap His efforts in false narratives saying that His messenger is attacking the church rather than attacking the false doctrine or warning the false teacher. They gossip about God’s prophet exactly as the devil would want them to. They do anything they can to prop up the evildoer and to destroy the prophet.

But can you blame them in their ignorance? That’s one of those things that I have learned to leave up to God. God is the righteous judge. He knows what is evil and what is good. It’s a shame that they can’t bother to ask Him.

Spiritual Armor for What?

Do you need spiritual armor to sit in a pew with your head up your pastor’s butt?

Hey I know that was a loaded question that paints a picture! But can you believe that is what God wanted to talk with me about first thing this morning? I know what it’s all about, though.

Too many country club Christians, have their “relationship” with God through their pastors. They don’t hear God for themselves and it’s much easier to do religion through a once-a-week playdate than through actually walking with the Spirit. But I’ve got news for those country club Christians, your pastor doesn’t put much more effort into relationship with God than you do and the evidence is all over their false theologies.

So, what should God do when you refuse a word from Him through His prophets? He told me this morning that He is going to prove His wrath against the pastor and his butt-headed congregant from a recent encounter. There was some discussion where I asked God if the punishment would fit the crime. All the congregant did was allude to me as being sent from the devil instead of from God. Certainly, that didn’t warrant Him coming against her family line. But God wasn’t having it. She called God a liar, and He would need to prove where the message came from. I’ve seen God prove Himself this way before, so I’m hoping that the butt-headed congregant quickly gets her head on straight and humbles herself before the Lord AND ASKS FOR HIS FORGIVENESS before it’s too late.

While I do want God to confirm the message that He delivered through me, I don’t like seeing family lines punished for one butt-headed congregant’s stupidity. I don’t get to tell God what to do though. So, my advice stands. Get your head out of your pastor’s butt and repent.

The Contrast of Heaven vs. Hell

In 2021, God had me create a monthly doctrinal newsletter, “Mark of Excellence”, along with a cover letter to the local pastors. The letters were sent to 24 pastors. Since that time there have been some positive changes to those pastors’ doctrinal stances. Also, at least four of those pastors have distanced themselves from the pulpits that they were previously preaching from. I’m not saying that I had anything to do with any of that, but I am saying that God is consistently poised to do whatever is necessary to get the churches on the right path.

Today, all of the local churches continue to have some form of false doctrine. Knowing that causes a great ache in my heart. I was hoping for at least one that would seek God until they knew His heart on every doctrinal stance.

Having a Form of Godliness …

“People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God—having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.” (2 Timothy 3:2-5 NIV)

That part about “having a form of godliness” is the part that God highlighted to me when we were talking just now. (Yes, it’s 4:00 am. That’s when He likes to talk about all the important stuff.) I was asking Him a question that was recently raised by another about what needed to change locally — was it “a church” that needed to change? At the time, the Lord answered right through my mouth that it was “all the churches” that needed change. I knew that already. I’ve seen it with my own eyes. They have a form of godliness but deny its power.

What I have witnessed in my trek through the churches locally is that none of the pastors can be bothered to seek God about the false doctrines in their churches. It seems like they deny that God has a right to disagree with their garbage theologies. They can’t ask Him simple questions even though they claim to know His voice. But God, in His grace and mercy, sends His messenger to teach them how to ask Him questions, and they don’t want to learn. Their pride won’t allow them to be taught by a female. They are too wise for their own good.

Oh, but the problem is not limited to the pastors. The congregations are willing to sit silently by rather than raise their voices to disagree with false doctrines. They certainly don’t want to mess with their comfort and stature. It is hard to be the one who will risk their inclusion with the church family to please God especially when that family will surely turn against you for being the one to speak up. But I will just say this: their form of godliness is ugly. I’m not the only one to notice. God sees it clearly. Why won’t they stand up and fight for truth?
