One God: Day 1 of 5

Posted on by

Before I go attacking the false doctrines of the four remaining pastors that God has assigned to me as His prophet, I want to say that I heard some really good things that demonstrate a heart for God from this weekend’s online sermons.

Consistently I have seen the right heart from “my” pastors. They seem to want to please God even bringing a little bit of uncomfortable stuff into the challenges that they speak to the congregations that follow them. But how long is the right heart enough when false doctrines are being taught? It seems that only God knows the answer to that. I’m still shocked from God saying that He hates one pastor who He removed from my assignment. That God doesn’t want me to waste my time on the pastor with the wrong heart speaks volumes.

So for the pastors with the right heart, I really want to help you overcome the wrong doctrines. I’ve invested much already in directing you to seek the Lord, and I want to see you succeed rather than receive God’s wrath. This week, I will daily post about there being only one God (not three 1/3rd gods). I hope that God will put it on your heart to really study this with Him. You seeking Him on this doctrine will go a long way towards pleasing Him.

Let’s look at one very important Scripture first. Remember that every time you teach contrary to this Scripture, it’s the same as calling God a liar.

Isaiah 43:10-11
“You are my witnesses,’ declares the LORD, ‘and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior.”

Did God lie when He proclaimed that there is no god before Him or after Him? Did God lie when He said that He is the only Savior? That’s what your three-God theology sounds like to me. It sounds very much like you are saying that God is a liar. Why would He put up with that?

So, please ask the Lord “God, is there one God or three Gods?”. If you really have a relationship with Him that includes hearing His voice, it’s not a difficult conversation to have … or it shouldn’t be! But maybe you are lying about hearing God’s voice. That’s more likely in my opinion.

A Church In Infancy

Posted on by

Early this year, God sent me to an infant church that had not even moved into its own church facility. I know that His timing for sending me there was so that the church could rid itself of false doctrine before getting firmly established. God sent me there with the notion that they would change their false theologies. But they did not change, in fact the pastor has refused to seek God.

God said of that pastor “I hate his ugly heart towards correcting doctrines. He has had ample time to seek me and turn away from the false teachings but instead he has stubbornly preached the primary false doctrine as though it were true.” How can God bless a church or even want to build it when it sits entrenched in wrong teaching? The pastor seems to be trying to draw people to his side of the issue rather than to destroy the false doctrine that caused God to send His prophet with a message. It seems that he won’t be able to change his false doctrine now without admitting openly that he was wrong. His pride won’t allow him to do that easily. Should God refuse to help him until he gets the doctrine right? Should God withdraw His presence and leave the church right where they choose to be?

Today God sent me to another new church for the same exact reason. The church is The Gathering Church led by a male and a female copastors. Already they have more going for them than the previous church because they actually have a female pastor. I LOVE that!!!! (The other church forbids female pastors. No wonder God hates their ugliness.)

I loved much of what was said at the church this morning by both Sonia and Dan. It’s hard to be the one that God will use once again to confront the false doctrine of multiple gods. There is only one God. There is not a second and third God seated next to Him or with His authority. God is Spirit. God is the Holy Spirit. Jesus is God. Jesus is the Holy Spirit. Jesus is no longer in Son of God or Son of Man flesh. He is the only Spirit seated on the one and only sovereign throne as God.

I know that God had me visit the church this morning to see the pastors’ hearts. Their hearts are right. I don’t want to hurt them by telling them that the trinity doctrine is wrong because that immediately takes on an adversarial role if they don’t understand that I’m bringing the message from God. But I also don’t want God to look at them with contempt later because I didn’t want the uncomfortableness of confronting their false doctrine. Again, I believe God has urgency to this because they are just getting established. It would be so much better to start out with sound doctrine than how the earlier mentioned church handled things.

Do they even believe that God sends prophets? Will I be dismissed as unimportant and yelled at publicly like at the other church earlier this year? Or will I be welcomed to help insure that the doctrines are exactly what God wants taught? Will they seek God with all their heart or spend their energy persecuting His prophet? I guess we will find out.

Caution: Uncomfortable Destination

Posted on by

Do you have the courage that it takes to confront the hard stuff? Will you allow God to expose your wrong thinking? Will you trust Him to force you forward towards your destiny calling?

Listen, anyone can sit back and take the easy way … the road of least resistance. The devil is not afraid of those who choose comfort over obedience to God. The devil will not put stumbling blocks in the road of those who aren’t going anywhere. However, God will purposely move you in His chosen direction.

If God loves you enough to want you in His Kingdom family, then He is going to make things uncomfortable when you are sitting in false doctrine, choosing wrong advice from foolish counselors, or refusing to invest in your Kingdom calling. Yes, it’s loving for God to want you to be all that you can be. To do that, He can’t let you sit comfortably choosing worldly things over Kingdom calling.

I would much rather God make things hard for me, than to ignore me in my unbelief. What about you? Are you comfortable in your unbelief? Are you satisfied with false doctrines as long as you get your comfortable seat of honor at church? Do you like putting money in an offering plate to be seen by the world even though God knows that you are strengthening the hands of the false teachers?

What will God need to do to get your attention? What tactics will He use to unseat your false gods? What are you risking by ignoring God? Is there anything that God won’t take from you to get you to focus your heart with Him? Is there anyone He won’t unseat to help you choose Him on the throne? From where I’m sitting, it’s much more comfortable to choose God, hear His voice, and obey than to risk everything by ignoring Him. Hell is real and many people are sitting comfortably waiting for their final destruction.

“They strengthen the hands of the evildoers.”

“They strengthen the hands of the evildoers.” I heard those words from the Lord as He talked to me about the titheing congregants of churches where false doctrine is taught. Not only are they complicit with the false teaching but they are strengthening the hands of the evildoers who teach false doctrine by contributing money to their cause.

Of course, God is always examining the hearts of every action to determine motives. That never changes. But He also knows when He has spoken to your heart about the false doctrines. So He knows that you are ignoring spiritual turmoil while you sit in those church pews hearing contrary doctrines to His heart.

Recently God told me that He hates one of the five pastors that He previously assigned to me. I questioned Him over and over if He really meant that He hated the pastor. Every time God answered that He hated the pastor. What? Is that even allowed? I questioned God did He mean that He hated the false doctrines being taught by the pastor. Oh yes, He hates the false doctrines but in the case of the pastor in question, God said He hates his heart towards God and the Kingdom. The pastor has continually refused God.

I reminded God that all of the pastors that He assigned to me still teach falsely on certain subjects. Again, God reiterated that He hates the false doctrines but that the hearts of the other four pastors are aimed to please God. But the one pastor does not have a heart for God, and God chooses to turn against him. Now this may not materialize obviously in the physical realm (and it may) but in the spiritual realm, the pastor will certainly be punished for grieving the heart of God. … And then, there were four!

Isaiah 63:10 NIV
“Yet they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he turned and became their enemy and he himself fought against them.”

Proverbs 29:1 NIV
“Whoever remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed—without remedy.”

Proverbs 1: 23-33 NIV
“Repent at my rebuke! Then I will pour out my thoughts to you, I will make known to you my teachings. But since you refuse to listen when I call and no one pays attention when I stretch out my hand, since you disregard all my advice and do not accept my rebuke, I in turn will laugh when disaster strikes you; I will mock when calamity overtakes you—when calamity overtakes you like a storm, when disaster sweeps over you like a whirlwind, when distress and trouble overwhelm you. Then they will call to me but I will not answer; they will look for me but will not find me, since they hated knowledge and did not choose to fear the LORD. Since they would not accept my advice and spurned my rebuke, they will eat the fruit of their ways and be filled with the fruit of their schemes. For the waywardness of the simple will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them; but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

Sin Responsibility

Posted on by

As a mother, it was important for me to teach my children their responsibility to know God, hear His voice, and obey Him. As soon as I understood how to hear God for myself, I wanted them to learn also. But even before that we had what most would consider a godly home. From infancy, my children went to church with their parents. They grew up with Christian friends. They were taught to read the Bible and care about their place in the Kingdom.

My children probably got more Bible knowledge than most because I led community Bible studies at my church, at the YMCA, and at the public Library throughout their formative years. I facilitated DVD studies by leading female evangelists and teachers for more than a decade. Beth Moore, Priscilla Shirer, and many others taught us to draw near to God. As I grew in the Lord, I wanted everyone else to have the same opportunity to grow too. I gave much of myself to include others on the journey with me.

As a prophet, I have been trained by God to bring a word from Him. That training required that God take me away from my former married status, my children, my home, my family and friends. Very much like a military man or woman who trains/serves at a military base away from home or in a foreign land. The need to help others grow in their relationship with God is the same as it was with my children or the ladies in the community Bible studies. As a prophet, I’m tasked with bringing a message directly from God rather than from a human teacher.

As a deliverance minister, it is most imperative that I teach of the need to know God. Without an unbroken covenant relationship with God, the devil, demons, and evil spirits have access to potential loved ones. God will allow it if we don’t have the right heart towards Him. He only agrees to be our God if we agree to choose Him (in all decisions) as our God. If we are ignoring God in choices, then He will ignore us in our rebellion. It’s not complicated to understand. It’s not that different than the marriage relationship. If a spouse chooses to cheat, there are consequences that are tied to the severity of their unfaithfulness. It’s that way with God too. If we cheat on the covenant relationship, God allows us to have the little “g” god of our desire. He removes His hand of protection because there is no room for two gods on one throne. Who is on the throne of your life?

The attached page explains sin responsibility. Our family line is important when God’s justice is being expressed. We have a personal sin responsibility, a sin responsibility tied to our parents’ sins against God, and responsibility for our children’s sins too. But don’t believe me … ask God yourself.

Dwellers in Unity?

Posted on by

The word “unity” gets tossed about quite a bit in the Christian community. It seems that some think it means a unity of opinions or a unity of picking a pastor or a unity of acceptance. Rarely do I hear unity being referred to as unity of the Spirit. That’s largely because so few actually walk with the Spirit of God.

The ONLY way that the churches can reach unity of the Spirit is to have SOUND DOCTRINE. If all the churches are teaching differently on most every topic there is obviously no unity of the Spirit. It happens because the church orators are teaching their own fleshly interpretation of Scriptures rather than hearing God teach them the truth of His heart. Every person on the planet can give a different interpretation of Biblical texts if they are not INTENTIONALLY taught by the Spirit of God. The devil loves to manipulate interpretations to create whole new denominations (or demonizations). Those are the divisions that destroy unity.

Is it so crazy that God would send His prophets to antagonize (warn, caution, and rebuke) the false teachers into seeking God about true doctrine? It is the false doctrines that destroy unity, not God’s anointed prophets. Or do you believe that God would rather that all the churches teach differently and contradictory to God’s will to yet another generation? Why would you try to build God’s Kingdom on a foundation of untruth and half-hearted pursuit of God’s specific will?

Unity of the Spirit is certainly NOT about getting as many people as possible to follow a false theology and naming it a church. If you love your brothers and sisters in churches that are teaching falsely, then you should do everything possible (as led by the Spirit) to address their false doctrines and teach them truth. It may seem like antagonism but in reality it is love. Love does uncomfortable things when necessary. The Master Gardener does PRUNE the branches so that they bear good fruit.

Unity of the Spirit requires knowing God, seeking Him for all truth, and following Him wherever and whenever He leads. Nobody can do that without hearing His voice. Nobody!

Do No Harm?

Posted on by

There is a vast difference in being helpful or being harmful. If you are tasked with confronting the hard stuff it requires attacking the problem without attacking the person.

If any one of you thinks that you can do my job, then prove it. Show me how you confront the false theologies of another pastor that you are sure is teaching falsely. First, you have to be certain of their error. You can only do that by talking with the Lord at length about it. You must know that you are not the one with false theology in that area. Then, you must have direction from God to address the false theology. When you have the insight, courage, and permission to move forward, you must do it wanting to rid the person of the false theology more than to prove something else.

It takes care and strategy to dissect the error from the person without wounding them unnecessarily. Now, listen, if they aren’t willing to deal with their false theology and expect to go on teaching it to another generation, then you will have to approach things with more emphasis. That’s where I am with most of you pastors. I’m still following God’s direction carefully but don’t be surprised if He decides to unveil things in a way that exposes you more publicly. I think each of you knows that I tried to address the issues privately many times first (exactly as God led me to).

Prove to me that you’ve got what it takes to do my job. Show me how you disprove false doctrine. Steve Yuke, how would you explain to the false teachers that women in ministry are not inferior to men? How would you explain that they are wrong in a way that convinces them that everything that they have taught on the subject has faulty foundation? Show me that you can be the antagonist when God sends you. It’s not as easy as you think.

Listen, most of you guys have plenty of things that I could mock you about to defame you. I’m not trying to do that. I’m trying to fix what is broken. If you won’t listen to me, please listen to God. Seek Him and know true doctrine. It’s easier to learn from Him than to be burdened by me. But He knows if you are doing that or not. Mostly not!

Conversation With God (082625)

Posted on by

God: Child, are you not pleased with your assignment?

Me: God, I love working with you and hearing your voice. I would not ever want to change that. But, the assignment feels like a heavy burden. Not because of your expectations but because the truth that you want carried is rarely met with acceptance. It feels like I’m at odds continually with the people that you send me to.

God: Child, they are not rejecting you. They are rejecting me. It’s me that they refuse to seek. It’s me that they refuse to listen to. You have their attention, and you are always reminding them to seek me with priority. Beloved, I am your encourager. You don’t need their approval. I love you and am with you always. I will not leave you or abandon you.

Me: God, it doesn’t seem like they are making any progress against their false doctrines. It’s been a lot of work on my part and it doesn’t seem to be making a difference. How much of my life must be sacrificed to reach the stubborn pastors for them to change?

God: Child, you have done my will completely. You are not responsible for the outcome. I am. I will affect the change needed in one way or another. Just keep doing your job with expectation of my righteous justice. But, you should know child, that you have made a difference. You’re too close to the subject to see clearly the changes that are happening.

Me: Will you tell me who has improved and who has shut me out?

God: Child, not one of the pastors that I have assigned you to oversee have shut you out. Each one of them is watching closely to see what you are writing. They respect you for your wholehearted pursuit of truth and for sharing it so willingly. Not one of them has sacrificed more or worked harder to communicate my will. Please Jasmine, don’t carry this as a burden but as a high honor. You hear my voice in a way that they could only hope to know. Their improvement may be slow, but it is happening in very subtle ways.

Me: Lord, I don’t want to complain about the assignment. I want to be wholeheartedly devoted to your will. But it hurts to constantly be pushed away and rejected.

God: Jasmine, you are not being rejected. They are jealous and greedy for power. You, my beloved, are everything that they hope to be. You are gifted in every way. You have courage that they admire. You have strength against persecution. You are beautiful while they have ugliness that needs to be dealt with. I love you Jasmine. Don’t focus on their hateful ways. Focus on me.

Me: Thank you God. You always make me feel better. I needed that peace that only you can afford.

Note: The Lord gave me a new name at the beginning of this journey together. The name Jasmine is pronounced Yaz-meen when He says it. He rarely ever calls me Tammie.

Agent of Change or Compliance

Posted on by

I’ve already confessed to being an analytical thinker. It’s who I am and I blame God for it 😉 He’s also responsible for the huge gift of sarcasm that has landed with me.

What He hasn’t given me enough of is the gift of hospitality. Perhaps it is because I’m too busy assessing my surroundings or off in a “what if” scenario to give adequate attention to comforting people to make them feel welcome and invited. But just because I have been seemingly overlooked by God with that gift doesn’t mean that I don’t appreciate it when I see it in others.

When a gifted person is put in the right situations to express their giftedness, it is a beautiful thing. (Except of course when it comes to being a prophet. That’s only beautiful to God as evidenced by how often the prophets were persecuted throughout history.)

I have a bit of a dilemma that I’m willing to share with you. Know that it requires me to be vulnerable so give me a break going into this dialog. As a prophet, God usually sends me to a church as an agent of change. That agenda can be awkward for everyone. God will not allow me to be a member of a church where false doctrine is being knowingly taught. But I so miss Christian community and family. As you might imagine, I spend a lot of time alone until God sends me for a specific purpose.

There is a ladies’ Bible study starting this week that I would like to attend with God’s permission. It is at a church that seems to not treat women as less-than beings. I want to attend as a woman, not as a prophet, but God has cautioned that it may place me in a conflict-of-interest position. Can I blend in when God wants me set apart? It’s easy to follow God’s instructions when He sends me, but very difficult when He later holds me back from the people that I have formed a connection with. I’m not sure that I know how to do this.

The dilemma is do I attempt to do this thing or should I just stay in my own lane. I can certainly study the Bible with God alone at home. Should I risk my heart in community or just be content where things are? Do I risk possible punishment from God for wanting to be silent when I should speak? Is it silly for me to be so apprehensive about being truly welcomed. Perhaps it will take God telling me that I must go before I can step confidently in that direction. He has no problem with that technique at most other times. Could He want me to be reluctant? Am I being too analytical when I should just accept hospitality?

Perhaps I should just keep talking to God about this until there is peace. Why isn’t there peace?

Visions To His Prophet

Posted on by

There have been many times in my years as a prophet when God has given me visions. I even once had a vision of the Rapture and Jesus ascending on the clouds. While that may or may not actually happen in my lifetime, it doesn’t change God’s choice to use me as His prophet.

The apostle Paul believed that the return of Christ was imminent. That belief did not cause Paul to be a false apostle even though it did not take place in his lifetime. God often works with His apostles and prophets vastly different than He does with other Christian leaders. There are times when He wants us to have an urgency to deliver the message. At times, He wants us to inspect our standing with Him and how it affects the current generation. While visions can be very clearly seen, their meaning is often meant to spur the apostle or prophet forward more than to predict the future.

The book of Revelation was a vision delivered through John. He saw things that would actually come to pass but not in his lifetime. Some of those things were happenings in the spiritual realm rather than the physical realm. That those things didn’t happen in his lifetime, did not disqualify the message as being from God. Isaiah’s prophecies about the coming Christ were hundreds of years before Jesus appeared in flesh. It did not invalidate Isaiah’s standing as a prophet that Christ did not appear in his lifetime.

God often talks to me about President Trump, not because I will effect the outcomes of what Trump will do or ever even speak to the man. God wants me to be aware of what He is doing through the president of our country. Many of the prophets of old did deliver messages to the kings of Israel. And God has had me deliver a few messages to President Trump in the form of letters, emails, and workbooks that I created. Whether or not Trump ever actually saw those things doesn’t have anything to do with what God was doing through me. He told me to do something specific and I did it. That’s where my responsibility ends until God tells me to pursue it further or to do something additional. (I have received a few short typed letters with Trump’s signature, but that doesn’t mean anything necessarily.) One email from me with a message from God warned Trump of a betrayal that was coming … and it did happen.

When God asks you to do something, it’s often more about you learning to obey God, to be right where He wants you, or to demonstrate an ability that He has given you. God saw everything about your life before He even created you to live it. He knows the beginning from the end.

A prophet never really knows at the time if God is giving future insight or checking the heart of His prophet. God has told me that Trump will not serve for his entire second term and it haunts me because I have grown to highly respect and even love the man. That may not be a future prediction. It may be about causing my heart to stay involved in what Trump is accomplishing. That’s what I hope it is. Either way God chooses what He tells His prophet and how He tells the prophet to deliver the message. Whether it is a warning that comes to pass or not isn’t what is important to God. We can assess in hindsight some of the behind the scenes things that could have been going on. Read about Jonah. Jonah delivered a message that was meant to change hearts, not to predict the future.
