From the Spiritual Realm to the Physical:

Posted on by

Understand that there is a spiritual realm and a physical realm. God is Spirit and He moves around in the spiritual realm. He speaks in the spiritual realm. He anoints in the spiritual realm with the manifestation of the Spirit gifts. In other words, He is with us in the spiritual realm when we operate in those gifts. God has a spirit voice that we can hear with our spiritual ears. We are both flesh (physical body) and spirit. The flesh dies, but the spirit body lives.

Note: God is not a physical book or pages of Scriptures. God is Spirit. The Bible is an inanimate object. It is not alive, but our God is alive and can speak to us while we’re reading the Scriptures or when we are not. He can speak to us anywhere at any time. He is not confined to speaking to us while we read a book. This is important because too many people HAVE NO FAITH when it comes to hearing God’s voice in prayer. Their lack of faith makes them want to limit God to their interpretation of Scriptures. If you can believe that Satan can speak to you in prayer, but that God cannot, you must realize that you are giving Satan more power than your “mute version of God”.

Satan, demons, and evil spirits are active in the spiritual realm. They use their spiritual voices to deliver lies, deception, and evil influence.

When God chose to step from the spiritual realm into the physical realm, He emerged as a flesh-and-blood person. The Spirit is the one and only eternal unseen God. The flesh-and-blood physical person was identified as Son of Man or as Son of God. The “Son of Man” title expressed the human parent’s role in birthing of the flesh-and-blood frame. The “Son of God” title represented the part that the Spirit played in creating the flesh-and-blood frame. The Spirit inside the flesh-and-blood frame was the one and only Spirit of God. There was NOT EVER a baby god. God is an eternal, everlasting Spirit. He was NEVER BORN for He has always been. The temporary flesh-and-blood frame allowed for the INVISIBLE God to be VISIBLE in the physical realm. God is Spirit, not flesh.

Over 2,000 years ago, when God walked in a physical flesh body, human eyes could see God because He made Himself known in the physical realm. He DID NOT EVER create a second God. He created a flesh-and-blood frame to temporarily (33 years) walk among His people in the physical realm.

The flesh-and-blood biology or lineage was in King David’s line in THE PHYSICAL REALM. There is NOT a physical (flesh-and-blood) body sitting next to the Spirit of God in the spiritual realm. God is the only God and He is in the spiritual realm. The “Son sitting next to the Father” language represents fulfillment of the promise to King David for an everlasting government or heir to his throne. It’s not literal. It’s figurative. There is nobody sitting next to the one and only God. There are not 2 Gods or 3 Gods. There is only one God. So to repeat, there it is not a literal Davidic government or kingship in that there is not a king sitting next to the King of Kings in heaven.

Jesus is the one and only Spirit of God who was temporarily in a flesh-and-blood Son-suit. Jesus is God, the one and only.

Good Seed vs. Garbage Theology

Posted on by

Where are the mighty women of God? Where are the ones who will confront false teaching with confidence and boldness? Where are the women who refuse to allow the devil to placate them with half-truths and garbage theology? I’m sick and tired of socialite book clubs disguised as Bible studies where more time is spent talking about nonsense than is spent understanding God’s heart.

I can’t do it anymore! I can’t turn a blind eye to the devil’s hold on you ladies. You think you find me offensive because I refute false doctrine, but you can’t even imagine how offensive your pathetic half-hearted, uneducated, pretend Christianity is to me.

Listen, your pastor just preached a wonderful series on hearing God in prayer. Simultaneously your book club discussed a book on the same subject. All good seed! Then, you allow the devil to uproot any ground you may have gained by introducing the most disgusting prayer theology in “The Circle Maker”. But you’re offended that God would force me to refute that false theology? Really, you’re offended? You’re angry with me because I didn’t tiptoe around your precious dignity while the devil tried to draw you into deception? You can’t handle the truth! I’m the one who was treated poorly. Where is your hospitality?

I attended four of your so-called Bible studies (where the Bible was nowhere in sight, except for mine). In more than 10 hours of attendance (over two months of poorly organized, poorly communicated, and rescheduled gatherings), God was rarely mentioned except to develop a prayer list of things that you seem to think must have never occurred to Him (sarcasm). Surely, I expect there to be some gracious time to hear each ladies’ hurts and needs, but if I am led by God to devote even the most meager amount of time to debate the wrong theology, I’m the bad guy? I’m the one who got off-track? Seriously? You can’t possibly see things that way?

Sure, I heard all the excuses about how your interpretation of the Bible is more authoritative than actually listening to God in prayer. You supposedly don’t need to hear God, or at least not the way that I do. Those excuses make me want to vomit. You’re afraid that the devil will talk to you. Really? You invite the devil into your garbage theology and allow him to bring you into such fear that you refuse to listen to God in prayer. That’s pathetic! Yes, the devil has a voice in the spiritual realm. That’s a fact. But it’s also a fact that God has a voice in the spiritual realm. A voice that you are supposed to listen to AND OBEY. You cannot obey if you’re not listening. You can come up with all kinds of vain imagination of what God wants you to do to pretend an obedience that you made up. If you didn’t hear God say to do something and you affix His name to it, that’s giving yourself lordship, not God!

I don’t care if you hate me. God is very pleased with my refusal to leave you in your self-absorbed pit. He has commended me repeatedly for having the strength to deliver a hard word FROM HIM once again. You don’t know how much patience was required of me to watch the foolishness that you call Bible Study.

Oh, and btw I know that you’ve been upset with me from the very start because I told two of the Catholic women that they’re not supposed to pray to Mary. Did I offend their sensitive little hearts? Blah! Please go tell God on me! I want you to! But we all know that you can’t be bothered to listen to Him. Keep doing all the talking!

And to all you pastors, this is exactly what you should expect when you can’t bother to put a mighty woman of God in leadership over women’s ministry. Country-club religion!

Buckle Up Buttercup!

Posted on by

When God gives me an assignment, He is firm. In fact, most times when God is speaking with me, He doesn’t feed my ego or even carefully sidestep my weaknesses. So, why is it that people want me to act differently than God when I’m lovingly trying to help someone through bringing a word of warning, caution or rebuke?

Sure, God can be a sweet talker when He is showing affection, but He never comes across as insincere or soft when He is correcting me or giving me direction. It seems that some want me to wrap the warning words in some kind of soft manipulation so that it can be more easily accepted. But that doesn’t work. It just makes the warning seem weak and inauthentic as well as half-hearted.

When Jesus turned over the tables of the money changers in the temple courts, He didn’t deliver that with sweet words or grace. He formed a whip and went after them. They hated Him. They plotted against Him and crucified His flesh and blood body. Should He have been softer? Would the message have been correctly received if He had first sweet-talked them into submission?

When David went up against Goliath, did he sweet talk the big guy? No, he told him that he would cut off his head and feed him to the birds of the air.

As God’s prophet, I’m going to deliver God’s words exactly as He tells me to. I can feel His heart in the words He shares. I know when He is angry or when He is giving a first warning that He expects to be received without resistance. What I don’t get to know about in great detail is how the receiver approached God for resolution. I can only understand when God specifically tells me that the person came to Him humbly or if the person ignored God’s warning.

This I do know. God has been pushing me to be MORE FORCEFUL in the words He delivers through me, more than even one year ago. He is wanting me to be less careful with the receivers’ little feelings and more determined to speak change resolutely. I do know that if He continues with this stronger, bolder, stance, I’m not going to be well liked or even liked at all. But I will NOT refuse God. I’d much rather have the hearer’s anger than God’s wrath for my refusal to obey Him.

And let me tell you this too. In deliverance ministry, you cannot just make suggestions. You have to be firm about how the person will be set free. If you don’t tell them exactly where they are wrong, you will leave them hostage to the devil’s schemes. Would you want someone who tiptoed around while you are in captivity or would you want someone bold enough to help rescue you? I’m not going to make gentle suggestions when you need deliverance. I’m going to be straightforward and deliver exactly God’s instructions. If you can’t respect that, too bad. I know my assignments. I get them directly from God. He’s not playing games and neither am I.

So, in conclusion … buckle up!

Congregants’ Loyalty?

Posted on by

A congregant can be very loyal to his/her pastor and church while being very disloyal to God. He/she can spend hours listening to their pastor speak while zero time is devoted to listening for the Lord’s voice. They can ask for their pastor’s counsel or advice but in prayer they obnoxiously demand that God do things their way.

Do they think that God doesn’t see where their loyalties are? Could God be so blind as to not see the motives of their heart? Could God choose to ignore them the way that they ignore God?

If you’re one who plays the country club religion game, what should you expect from God? Should He help you through the hard times or present them to you?

If you’re spending time celebrating your church, shouldn’t you be sure that you’re not complicit with false teaching? Should God ignore that you give them the glory meant for Him? Do you know your church better than you know God?

Recently, a woman jumped right away to defend her pastor (and his false doctrine) without first seeking God. She had more loyalty to her pastor than she did to God. Those aren’t my sentiments. Those are God’s words to me. So, what should God do when He sees that response? Does someone need to be dethroned in her life so that she gives God the rightful place of authority? And btw: those man-made certificates and degrees mean absolutely zero to God when false doctrine is being taught.

God sees what is in your heart about how you treat His prophets too. He’s not as blind as you think. Nor is He as mute as you would prefer. (But maybe you just didn’t give Him permission to send prophets with a word!) A word to the wise. Don’t keep pressing against God’s will. He’s not a book that you can lord yourself over. As always, don’t believe me. Ask God yourself!

Spiritual Armor for What?

Posted on by

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.

Who Chose King David Anyways?

Posted on by

Have you ever tried to decide who to vote for without God’s advice and counsel?

Recently, I had a conversation with someone who was against a certain political candidate who called themselves a Christian but didn’t act like one. I don’t know who the candidate was because our conversation was interrupted before she was allowed to make her point and before I could respond.

So, I’d like to have the conversation here.

1) First, I absolutely know many people who call themselves Christian and don’t act like Christians. You see, Christians are supposed to hear God’s voice in prayer. Without hearing God, you are just playing religion. You can call yourself a Christian and miss the mark completely if God is not leading you. (And btw, we are all sinners. Perhaps your sin just hasn’t been exposed, but it could be.)

2) Next, David didn’t look like the logical pick to be God’s chosen king. He was a shepherd boy. His brothers could have been chosen, but they weren’t. Why? Could it be because God divinely orchestrated something in David that was meant for Kingdom purposes. Certainly, if you looked at King David’s life, you can’t just gloss over the fact that he had multiple wives, one of whom, he had an adulterous affair with and had her husband killed. Did that disqualify him from service? Apparently not, since he went on to do great things including to be a father in the lineage of Jesus.

3) Can we look at the Prostitute Rahab’s life and think that it was useless because of her position in the culture? Yet, God chose her for Kingdom work. Do you have a problem with that?

4) If you aren’t asking God who to vote for because you haven’t bothered to humble yourself under His authority, you are the adulterous people that you claim to hate. God often called the people of Israel adulterous when they bowed down to other gods. Isn’t that what you are doing when you choose someone other than God’s chosen vessel? Why would you vote against God?

What if Samuel would have ignored God’s leading to choose a shepherd boy to anoint for Kingdom purpose? What if Samuel thought that he could choose more wisely than God? (Then, he would have been just like you.)

Whose Permission?

Posted on by

I don’t get it! When did God need permission to call someone His prophet? When did that begin? Did He have authority to call Isaiah or Jeremiah as prophets? Did God have authority to deliver words through Ezekiel or Hosea? Did God suddenly lose His authority and now need permission to call His prophets today? Permission from you?

So, listen, God doesn’t need your permission or consent. If you want me to pretend that I’m not His prophet so that you can feel better about all the times that you ignored God or refused Him, that doesn’t work for me. When God called me, I stepped one foot in front of the other and walked out my faith journey. I never once denied Him even when I knew that I would be mocked, forsaken, and persecuted. You could only hope to have my perseverance.

I’m not willing to carry your ignorance with me. I’m God’s prophet and that’s all there is to it. If you had your own relationship with God, you could certainly ask Him. But the fact that you can’t be bothered to humble yourself enough to ask Him is exactly why you haven’t been chosen for very much in the Kingdom. That may not affect you today, but there will be a day when your refusal will devour you.

And listen, just because you haven’t heard God say something doesn’t mean that you are allowed to just do the opposite of what God wants. There are consequences for your neglect. I’m warning you to start taking the time to ask God, hear from Him, and obey. Ignoring God is defiance, but coming against His chosen ones, is all out rebellion. God will punish you with all authority … no permission needed.

The Suggestive Voice of the Deceiver

Posted on by

If God has gifted you with the ability to hear His voice in prayer it is because He expects your obedience.

God has made my assignments very clear to me. Daily He speaks to me about His intentions. First and foremost, I have been purposely anointed to hear His voice so that I can teach others to hear Him similarly. Next, He has anointed me to EQUIP THE CHURCH to recognize false doctrines, uncover the clever lies of the evil one, and to choose truth through listening to God.

Deliverance ministry has always been part of the assignment but only very specifically as God leads. I do not move in the deliverance arena without God’s leading. Finally, during election seasons, God often has me bring specific words about candidates and ballot issues.

Again, I’m daily instructed in the exact assignment that God has for me. I never have to wonder if I’m on the right track because God is extremely clear about my role as His apostle, prophet, and deliverance minister.

So, when someone suggests to me that perhaps God would want me to do something else rather than “fight” the churches, I know that the devil is feeling the sting of the ministry that God delivers through me. I’m not ever far from God’s exact words to me. All I need to do is say “God, what do you think about …?”, or “How do you want me to respond?” and listen for His answer.

This position close to God provides that the devil can never deceive me away from God’s specific assignments for me, no matter how many suggestive voices the deceiver sends my way. God is my God. I know whose I am and who I am. Do you?

New Magazine Assignment

Posted on by

This morning, God made it official that I have a new assignment of creating a magazine about the healthy church vs. the unhealthy church. I blame it all on you, the readers. This topic has been one of the most liked of all the ministry blog posts so far. Really, though I do enjoy your likes, so please keep letting me know what is important to you.

Today, I spent the day working on a DRAFT magazine cover. Most of the content, minus graphics and page layout, are already complete for the majority of the pages. It’s just the posts that you have already read. I’m sure the Lord will have some things to add, but for now what do you think about the cover? I need feedback.

An Invite to a Healthy Church?

Posted on by

Would you invite me to your church?

Over the last few weeks, I have been writing about the differences between the healthy and unhealthy churches. So, I’m asking you, do you attend a healthy church?

Does your pastor and church managers (staff, ministers, elders, apostles) know God and hear His voice? Do they actively stay connected to God and ask Him about their doctrinal stances?

Does your church walk with the Spirit of God and receive anointing in the manifestation of the Spirit gifts that require God’s active presence? Does your church honor those gifts?

Are you confident that God is pleased with your church? Did you ask Him? Does your church have real discipleship opportunities for men, women, youth, and children? Are the gifts that God delivers through you harnessed in the church or are they forsaken?

Are there women ministers who have a heart for God in your church? If so, are they given the same platform as men to share their giftings from God? Are women honored as daughters of the King, and mighty warriors against spiritual forces of evil?

If your church isn’t healthy, please don’t invite me. I’ve seen enough unhealthy churches to fill the quota. But I certainly would love to be part of a church where God’s will is actively pursued and celebrated to the full. Maybe while you’re at church this morning, you could assess their walk with the Spirit of God and get back to me.
