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.)

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.

The Healthy Church Vs. The Unhealthy Church: Unity of the Spirit (Continued, Part 3 of 3)

Posted on by

Let’s continue the conversation about the disunity in the churches. Remember that the unhealthy church is a headless body. It tries to operate without the head of the church. God is the head of the church. God is not a book or an interpretation of a book. The unhealthy church body without the head is spiritually blind and deaf. They do not have eyes to see or ears to hear. Their version of unity is a consensus of opinions of man rather than unity with the Spirit. Their doctrine is man-made instead of Spirit-led.

Again, we will briefly recap where we left off in my top ten list of false doctrines in the churches: The FALSE DOCTRINES that we previously discussed are: 1) Mute God; 2) Three Gods; 3) Jesus as a Separate God; 4) Automatically Forgiven; 5) God Needs Counsel; 6) The Holy Spirit is Unable to Anoint; and 7) Women Must Be Silent and/or Women Are Not Allowed to Lead in the Church.

The remaining three false doctrines, of my top ten list, are outlined here:

False Doctrine #8) All are Saved from Hell: Modern Christianity has often done a poor job of expressing God’s heart on the matter of an eternal home and how to secure the coveted destination. Many wrongly teach that God, because He is loving and merciful, cannot have justice or wrath against rebellion and unbelief. Their theology suggests that God would never send anyone to hell. But if there is anyone in hell, and there are, can you guess who sent them there?

* “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.’” (Matthew 25:41 NIV)

Suggesting that all are saved who took a one-time oath of allegiance is bogus theology. From that false theology spews so many others. It’s likely why so many don’t seem too concerned about the consequences of their rebellion. They are not afraid of God’s wrath because they don’t believe that He is allowed to be angry with a broken oath of allegiance. If we can break our oath, then God can certainly refuse to be our God. If He’s not your God, then He is not your Savior.

* “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 7:21 NIV)

False Doctrine #9) Forgiven by the Blood/Cross: We are forgiven by the will of God. While the atonement process that happened at the cross gave us direct access to God for a forgiveness conversation, it did NOT replace the need for actually asking for forgiveness from God.

That forgiveness conversation also affords you to ask God questions about how you can respond better during the same temptation going forward. God has a will. The cross or the blood at the cross do not have a will. Those are non-thinking things.

God views your heart and motives. The cross and blood cannot view your motives. God has sovereignty over life and death. The cross and blood do not have sovereignty over life and death. The healthy church distinguishes the difference.

Ask God for forgiveness every time. (I ask God every day if there is anything that I need to ask forgiveness for. I listen for His answer. Either it is a time of hearing that I did good or it is a time for me to learn to do better. But it is always a way to safeguard my relationship with God. I don’t ask a cross or blood to forgive me. I ask God to forgive me.)

False Doctrine #10) Spiritual Warfare is Not Real: If spiritual warfare is not real, then why did Jesus evict evil spirits and cast out demons? Why does the Bible warn to resist the devil and to put on the armor of God? Who did the Lord have a conversation with about Job? Why did Jesus have a conversation with the devil in the desert (Matthew 4:1-10) if the devil is not real?

* “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour?” (1 Peter 5:8 NIV)

Now that we have studied those top ten false doctrines, we must NOT stop there. There are many more false doctrines that can be addressed. I can name a few to get you thinking: fasting to force God’s hand, baptismal regeneration, and closed communion. In closing, it’s easy to twist Scriptures to create a theology that gives you what your itching ears want to hear. But knowing that God is watching and examining our motives and heart, should make each person hesitant to jump on the bandwagon with false teachers just because it’s easier than the investment of studying and seeking God.

Are there any of you that will insist on truth from the pulpits of the churches?

The Healthy Church Vs. The Unhealthy Church: Unity of the Spirit

Posted on by

The healthy church walks with the Spirit of God, but the unhealthy church has “Him” locked in a book that they lord themselves over. As one who walks with the Spirit of God and hears His voice daily, the differences between the healthy and unhealthy church are monumental. I’m afraid for the generations who will be deceived into spending their lives stuck in the unhealthy church and living as if they have sovereignty over God.

Let’s talk about why there are denominations in Christianity. First let’s remove two big blocks of Christianity from this mix: Catholicism and Mormonism, and intentionally focus in on just Protestant churches. If there were truly unity of the Spirit in Christianity, there would be no need for denominations. Each denomination is a division based on different doctrinal interpretations.

Division is the opposite of unity. So, please don’t think that there is unity of the Spirit where there are denominations in the church. Each denomination carries with it a different set of rules or doctrines. That would not happen if all the churches were walking in unity with the Spirit of God. The individual denominations make no effort to settle doctrinal disputes as if God should be happy with disunity. Instead, they each stand boldly on their own interpretations of Biblical texts as if God doesn’t have a say.

What do you think are the major differences in doctrine in Protestant Christianity? Did your list include any of these that made my top ten?

The top ten FALSE DOCTRINES in the churches that I see are:

1) Mute God: This one just floors me. Asking God about doctrine isn’t an option if God cannot speak. Did the devil ever get a bigger win with that false narrative planted in the churches for generations? However, in recent years, the churches are moving towards revelation that God does speak to those in covenant relationship. You don’t need to be sitting in a church pew or putting money in an offering plate to have real relationship with God. Perhaps the churches have enjoyed that false doctrine of “mute God” so that they could preach dependency on organized false religion.

2) Three Gods: There is not a trinity of gods. Christianity is a one-God religion, also known as monotheistic. Now, I don’t have a problem with identifying different roles of God. God is the Father. The Father did make Himself known for a limited time in Son of Man flesh and reveal His name as Jesus. The Father is Spirit, also known as the Holy Spirit. But to be clear, those are roles or positions of God, not separate Gods. There is NOT a God sitting next to another God on thrones in Heaven. If a pastor is praying to God talking about a second God, you can be sure that he/she doesn’t have a relationship with any of their supposed (three) “Gods”. The false “trinity” doctrine is another big win for the devil. If you’re confused about who your God is, then it’s much harder to be in covenant with only one God. If you’re not in covenant with only one God, then you won’t hear His voice in prayer.

3) Jesus as a Separate God: Jesus is God. Jesus is not a separate or subordinate God. Jesus is the one and only, Alpha & Omega. There was no God before Him or no God after Him. He is the one and only God and Savior. If you are worshipping Him as a lesser God than the “real” God, you are deceived.

4) Automatically Forgiven: If everyone is automatically forgiven because of the blood of the cross, who is in Hell? Listen, just because you make an oath of allegiance to follow God, doesn’t mean that you actually follow through with that wholehearted allegiance. If there were no consequences for breaking the covenant oath, why wouldn’t everyone just hedge their bets by reciting words to earn a “get-out-of-hell free” card? If you were saved by the blood that was shed on the cross over 2,000 years ago, why would you need access to a Savior who is alive today? We DO have access to God in prayer because of the cross. We can have forgiveness conversations with Him and learn from Him how to strengthen ourselves against temptation. We must actually have the conversation and be forgiven by God. We are not automatically forgiven.

The remaining six of my top ten false doctrines in the church will follow in a separate post. It’s a lot to take in all at once.
