Parasites?

Posted on by

Have any of the rest of you had your newsfeed full of the ads for products to remove parasites? That’s just nasty stuff to think about. I don’t want to consider that there might be worms crawling around in me. What the heck? I must have paused too long on an ad for weight loss and then AI decided that it was going to give me … options. Yuck!

I was discussing my disgust with God. (Probably giving Him an ear-full about what was He thinking with creating gut bacteria or allowing parasites to live in our bodies.) And without words, He led my thoughts directly to the church. Well, that’s just as nasty to think about. Parasites sitting in the church pews and standing in pulpits crawling around parading themselves as good bacteria.

The whole conversation makes me sick to my stomach. I wish there was a pill to give out to turn those parasites into usefulness. Ha ha. That’s when God spoke up. He said “Girlfriend, why don’t you teach them to hear my voice so that they can know true doctrine and leave the parasite cleansing up to me?” “Ok, God but could you please stop the gross ads from coming up in my newsfeed?” God replied, “No, it’s part of the process evidently.”

Crazy Prayer!

Posted on by

It’s not crazy for a Christian to hear God’s voice in prayer. It’s not crazy for an anointed Christian to speak in tongues or to allow God to speak through them.

What is crazy is for a Christian to think that the Creator God is stuck in the pages of a printed book or manuscript unable to interpret the Scriptures clearly for you.

You’re not ignoring God because you think that He can’t speak. You’re ignoring God so that you can be your own god. You know it … and God knows it!

Slaves Obey Your Masters!

Posted on by

The Lord is really firing me up this morning! He wants me to write about it too!

“Slaves obey your masters”. I’m not a slave! The only Lord that I have is Jesus. I will willingly obey Jesus.

So why did Paul write “slaves obey your masters” in these two passages:

Ephesians 6:5 NIV
Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.

Colossians 3:22 NIV
Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not only when their eye is on you and to curry their favor, but with sincerity of heart and reverence for the Lord.

Was Paul condoning slavery? Was Paul suggesting that in the year 2026 that we should accept slavery as an option? Well, I for one am thankful that the war was fought in the United States to end slavery even if it seemingly contradicts Paul’s writings. And I’m thankful that in the United States women today have the right to VOTE unlike our predecessors of old who were not given that equal right. Certainly, a twisted interpretation of the Scriptures about women being silent allowed for years of perverted treatment of women in society for generations upon generations. (’cause you know if a woman is anointed by God, she must surely be a witch or demon-possessed — SARCASM!!!!)

But, for the life of me, I cannot understand why women put up with the way they are treated in the churches today. Much of it is likely just pure laziness. Or it could be that they are enjoying the status quo too much to risk their comfortable seats of dishonor. It’s possible that they’re just as ignorant as the majority of women in Paul’s days that weren’t allowed to learn to read and write. Maybe they’re content with being second-class citizens in the church, and pathetic in God’s eyes.

Ok ladies, go ahead and be “slaves to your masters” in the churches. I see your chains even if you don’t.

Extinguish Your Giftings?

Posted on by

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.

Standing Against The Religious Pharisees!

Posted on by

It is not an easy task to stand up for true doctrine against a collective group of religious Pharisees. Jesus did it and they crucified Him.

This morning, instead of going to a church building, God wanted to lead me through the Bible to remind me of the times that He sent prophets and disciples to fight against a religious “culture”.

When I sat down at the table (at Dunkin Donuts), my Bible opened to the book of the prophet Isaiah. My eyes locked in on a passage, and I read it.

“Woe to those who go to great depths
to hide their plans from the Lord,
who do their work in darkness and think,
‘Who sees us? Who will know?’
You turn things upside down,
as if the potter were thought to be like the clay!
Shall what is formed say to the one who formed it,
‘You did not make me’?
Can the pot say to the potter,
‘You know nothing’?” (Isaiah 29:15-16 NIV)

After reading in Isaiah, the Lord, said “turn the pages”. Which I did, measured section by measured section until I arrived at the book of Acts. When I got to the place that God wanted to talk about, He said, “stop there, and turn one single page.” So, I did. My eyes locked on to a passage in Acts 10 about Cornelius (a Gentile) having a vision, followed by Peter’s vision that included words from the Lord.

“Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” (Acts 10:15 NIV)

What the Lord pointed out to me was that both of those men were hearing God direct them away from a religious protocol. Peter points out that it was against the law of the Jews to associate with a Gentile, yet he went to the home of a Gentile because the Lord told him to. In the vision, Peter was told to eat unclean or impure food.

This text reminds me of when the prophet Ezekiel was told to cook his food in an “unclean” manner to symbolize God’s justice against Jerusalem (ref. Ezekiel 4:14). Both Ezekiel and Peter had such ingrained ideas of the laws of clean and unclean that they could not immediately obey God when this subject was introduced to them.

Do you remember the words about this from Jesus recorded in Matthew 15?

“Jesus called the crowd to him and said, ‘Listen and understand. What goes into someone’s mouth does not defile them, but what comes out of their mouth, that is what defiles them.’ Then the disciples came to him and asked, ‘Do you know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this?’ He replied, ‘Every plant that my heavenly Father has not planted will be pulled up by the roots. Leave them; they are blind guides. If the blind lead the blind, both will fall into a pit.’ Peter said, ‘Explain the parable to us.’ ‘Are you still so dull?’ Jesus asked them. ‘Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.” (Matthew 15:10-20 NIV)

Peter had already personally heard those words from the Lord before receiving the vision that emphasized the message “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” (Acts 10:15 NIV)

Notice that God called the Pharisees “blind guides”? They were blind because they did not SEE the vision that God gave to Peter.

Let’s look at another passage on this same subject, where God calls the religious Pharisees “hypocritical liars”.

“The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and who know the truth. For everything God created is good, and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with thanksgiving, because it is consecrated by the word of God and prayer.” (1 Timothy 4:1-5 NIV)

You know that Paul, who was formerly a religious Pharisee, was told to accept the Gentile believers — the uncircumcised! (How dare God shake things up that way!)

“No, a person is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is circumcision of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the written code. Such a person’s praise is not from other people, but from God.” (Romans 2:29 NIV)

Just some things to think about when the religious Pharisees are refusing to accept God’s anointed women to lead in the church. Oh no, here I am, refusing to be silent and teaching and preaching without their permission. “God told me to” is all that I can say about that!

“Watch your life and doctrine closely” (1 Timothy 4:16 NIV)

Advertised As Normal?

Posted on by

Did you ever notice that some people cannot stop speaking about the Lord? He’s in every conversation of substance. Even their social media accounts include Him. They just can’t separate themselves from awareness of God in their lives.

Why can’t they just be normal and post photos of their vacations, selfies with their kids or grandkids, pictures of their favorite foods at local restaurants, or even pics with their church friends? There’s nothing wrong with any of those things, right?

What does God see when He looks at the “normal” people? Does He see the advertised version that doesn’t include Him?

“But if I say, ‘I will not mention his word or speak anymore in his name,’ his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.” (Jeremiah 20:9 NIV)

As one who has been walking with the Spirit for decades, I know that there is no way to separate my Kingdom walk from my physical walk (before going to Heaven). I’m already a Kingdom inhabitant. God is always going to be leading me with His voice. So, I’m going to mention Him all the time. He is going to be included in every aspect of my life. Yes, that means that I can’t be “normal” or at least not to the crowd that doesn’t also walk with the Spirit.

Listen, the devil can quote Scriptures and twist them into any narrative he chooses. The devil is a liar, and he’s good at it. The serpent has had many years of honing his craft of manipulation.

When God anoints a Kingdom champion, they are ALWAYS passionate. God doesn’t anoint people to be silent. The devil would want that, but not God. God wants a voice of truth to speak boldly. If God ever told me to be silent, I would be truly concerned. Instead, He wakes me up in the early morning hours with a word from Him on my tongue. And like the Prophet Jeremiah, it’s like a fire in my bones until it is delivered.

So, there is no way that I could believe that God would not similarly anoint all Kingdom women to be passionately vocal about truth. Who could walk with the Spirit and be silent? When I’m in the Spirit, I’m thoroughly disgusted with the women who think it is their God-given command to be silent in the church while parading themselves around as good-little Christians. Hey, but don’t believe me … Ask God yourselves!

“For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him.” (2 Chronicles 16:9 NIV)

Peace To Lead?

Posted on by

I firmly believe that God wants people who hear His voice to lead this nation. In studying about the prophets of old, God always sent prophets to a rebellious nation who refused to listen to God and follow Him. They always brought a message of warning, caution, and rebuke to stubborn and foolish people.

When God called me as His prophet, the foremost message was to teach people to learn to hear God’s voice in prayer. That’s paramount because you cannot obey God without hearing His voice. It’s impossible to follow Him in a specific or narrow path without hearing Him lead you. Yes, you can guess at interpreting Scriptures or seeing signposts along the way, but that’s what you’re doing, you’re guessing. (Like nearly every pastor in our pulpits today.) Who wants a best-guess allegiance? As for me, I want to be certain of God’s leading before stepping out. If I’m going to risk everything, it’s not going to be done foolishly. I want to hear God’s specific instructions and know His heart.

So I’m going to ask each reader a few questions to ponder about your own spiritual walk with God.

1) How good are your listening skills?

2) How have you included God in making decisions?

3) Do you WANT to hear God’s voice?

4) How many times have you knowingly heard God’s voice or felt His presence?

5) What are you afraid of losing by submitting to God?

6) Have you made an oath to God to follow Him? And how are you doing with that oath?

7) Can you describe what it feels like to be at peace with God?

Blind & Deaf Allegiance?

Why should God give you access to hearing His voice?

You see, God’s not the one having the problem with communicating. He knows how to be heard when He wants to be. But why bother talking to someone who has made no commitment to listening or doesn’t have the heart to obey His direction?

Why should He open Himself up to heart intimacy with you, if you are going to ignore or betray Him? Because listen you might get away with friends-with-benefits arrangements with others, but God is not going to embrace that lifestyle with you. He wants wholehearted commitment.

Have you made an oath to follow God and obey? How are you going to fulfill that oath without learning to discern God’s voice in prayer? I’m very serious in asking that question. How do you include God in decisions if you aren’t hearing His voice?

I’m sitting here shaking my head wondering how so few people actually hear God’s voice but call themselves Christians. If you belong to God, you should hear His voice.

Who Are You Accountable To?

Posted on by

Last night I listened to a local pastor’s message. It was a pretty good message but at one point he said something about doctrinal experts on the internet that aren’t accountable to a human agent should not be trusted. I’m guessing he was talking about me since he knows that I am a doctrinal expert that is not under the authority of a church.

So I talked to God about his comment.

1) First, God reminded me that I’m not asking anyone to trust me and that I always tell people to not believe me but to seek God themselves. Because here’s the thing, whether you understand it or not, you ARE accountable to God regardless of whether or not you have church elders. Let’s face it those church elders are going to back you up on your false doctrines if they have the same false doctrines as you do. Hint: if your pastor teaches falsely against women in ministry, then your stupid elders are going to keep you accountable to their false doctrinal standards. Why not be intentionally accountable to hearing God’s voice and obeying Him rather than be led astray by your bogus accountability partners?

2) I’m seriously asking you who was the Apostle Paul accountable to? Who was Abraham accountable to? Who was Noah accountable to? Who was Moses accountable to? Who was Samuel accountable to? Who was Elijah accountable to? Who were Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel accountable to? Who was King David accountable to? Who was Jonah accountable to? Who were the disciples accountable to? If God is good enough for them to be accountable to, then why would you suggest that He isn’t good enough for me to also be accountable to? Oh, is it because I’m a female? Or is it because I’m divorced? You nasty snake! Get behind me!

3) If you had an ounce of courage in your pathetic male ego, you would ask God yourself who I am accountable to. But you won’t bother to ask God because you can’t ask Him about anything including correct doctrine. You’re too busy advising God on how He should do things. Why don’t you learn to submit to God rather than to your good ole boy network?

“And now, compelled by the Spirit, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there. I only know that in every city the Holy Spirit warns me that prison and hardships are facing me. However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.” (Acts 20:22-24 NIV)
