FROM THE PROPHETS CHAMBER – PART TWO
Greetings to all and well come back to part-two of this new Saturday series titled “From the Prophets Chamber”. Before I proceed I want to let our partners and friends know that I will be delivering the Sunday Morning Sermon tomorrow the 14th at 10 am. All are invited to join us at Celebrate Jesus Church of God live on Zoom. You can contact me by email, private message, or text to obtain the meeting id and password. I hope that everyone enjoys and profits from this new series, however, to be transparent, I write to please an audience of One. Before I move forward please take a moment to share this teaching, writing, as widely as possible. We want the message of Christ, of the Kingdom of God disseminated as widely as possible. To reiterate from last week this new series is in near real time for I will be sharing with you what the Lord is sharing with me in the last few days. In addition, from time to time I will share brief gold nuggets from the Throne of God.
I encourage all not to abandon your faith that injustice will be turned to justice. This is a time of separation, be not faithless, but one of those of faith. Time is running our for the wicked and the unbelieving, rebellious Church. Judgment is at the door. As you read these publications or any others that deal with prophecy and Prophets take the time to distinguish to the extent you can between a person operating in the gift of prophecy (one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit) and a person operating in the Office of Prophet. They both speak the Words of God. A person with the gift of prophecy speaks to a group, a couple, or into an individual’s life to build them up, encourage them, and to comfort them. They will speak the will of God for that person.
1 Corinthians 14:3 (KJV)
3 But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.
It seems to me that there is a great misunderstanding about prophecy in general. No prophecy just automatically comes to pass, they are generally conditional whether it is expressly stated or not. For example, they may say something like; “I see you preaching before a large congregation”. That will not just drop on the person, it must be walked out, the person must go step by step led of the Holy Spirit.
A person speaking in the Office of Prophet may speak in the same fashion (all led of the Holy Spirit). The Office of Prophet is one of the Five-Fold Ministry gifts.
Ephesians 4:11-12 (KJV)
11 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
The “he” in verse eleven is the Lord Jesus when He ascended to the right hand of the Father. The Prophet along with the other four Five-Fold Ministers (never to be a Pastor alone) are to have a central role in the maturing of the saints and the building up of the local body of believers and the Church at large. A person in the Office of Prophet may speak as one with the gift of prophecy but they will all speak the will of God into the earth for future events. Let’s consider the following passage concerning the Prophet Jeremiah.
Jeremiah 1:8-12 (KJV)
8 Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
9 Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth.
10 See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.
11 Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Jeremiah, what seest thou? And I said, I see a rod of an almond tree.
12 Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it.
The Lord told Jeremiah that He was putting Words in His mouth that would rule, determine the course of nations. Those Words would root out, pull down, destroy, throw down the kingdoms of this world, of Satan. Those Words would build and plant the Kingdom of God in the earth. Moreover, the Lord is watching over those Words to perform them. Nothing has changed. These things happened in times of old when the true Prophets of God spoke and it is the same today when a true Prophet of God speaks. The thing is this, things can be a little messy in the process of fulfilment and the timing may not be as we would like. An example playing out right now are the Words of the Prophets concerning President Trump, the rising Remnant, and the Awakening.
I had intended to build upon what the Lord said to me on the 1st of February and I believe it is still the will of God to do that as I noted in last weeks publication. I reported last week that on the 1st of February the Lord said the following to me: “align with Jesus not with other prophets”. I will talk more about this next week. On the 4th of February the Lord said: “let me develop, define, your theology, let me teach you Scripture, develop your theology, yes, listen to my pastors, teachers, and others but prove all”. I will talk about this Word next week as well.
As I finish for today let me point out that we all have certain beliefs, some are correct and some are not. We all have a certain way of thinking, sometimes correctly and sometimes not. God is working with imperfect vessels now, and following sin in the Garden. We all have this filter of the flesh, the unrenewed mind. This can corrupt a prophecy. It is extraordinarily important that we all measure or judge every prophetic Word by Scripture and the inner witness. For example, I very recently listened to a man of God, whom I believe to be a true Prophet. He delivered an inspired, Anointed, Word of encouragement for the first half, but the second half was filtered very heavily through his flesh, theology, and way of thinking. That does not make him a false Prophet or a bad man but illuminates how we are to judge every Word. We do not judge it by anything other than the Word of God and the inner witness.
Lord willing, I will pick up right here next Saturday. By the way, over time I see this taking the place of the Friday, Saturday, and Sunday publications.
2 Chronicles 20:20b (KJV)
20 … Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.
Until our next publication, as your Bible Teacher and a Prophetic Voice in your life I speak this blessing over each and every one of you, receive it, believe it, and speak over yourself and your family by faith in Jesus name!
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP)
24 The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
25 The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
26 The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).
