WATERS OF THE EARTH ABOUT TO RISE

The Joshua Chronicles ^ | Jedediah

[Chong]

“You are insisting on some specific sorts of answers from Jedediah about himself.”

YES.

Does he/she claim to be the prophet of God or not? Yes or No??????

[Religion Moderator]

Statements formed as questions reveal the mind of the person asking, not the one he asking.

For instance, if a poster said "Are you ignorant of Catholic teaching?" that would not be making it personal. But if the poster said "You are ignorant of Catholic teaching" that would be reading his mind and therefore, making it personal.

Fine. It still depends upon the poster's personal credibility. Is it permissible in any way to challenge that credibility?

It can be worded as question, e.g. "Who gave you the authority to ...?" "What are your credentials or proofs?"

[Chong]

The Bible says that there will be a lot of FALSE prophets and that we need to be aware of them, so they don’t lead us onto the wrong path.

So then, by being aware whether one is a false prophet or not is an important question.

[Chong]

Yes. I want to know what this person’s credentials are, since this person is posting a lot of threads proclaiming a lot of stuff.

[Quix]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Don’t that just tickle one’s sensibilities up one side and down the other!

I still don't understand the purpose of wanting to know.

I still don't understand your goal for the information.

I still don't understand your motive in wanting the information.

I still don't understand the attitude of your heart in seeking the information.

I still don't understand the expectd fruit of having that information.

If I understand where the target if your query is coming from accurately, he's suggested that folks ask The Lord about it.

SCRIPTURE SAYS--CHRIST'S SHEEP HEAR HIS . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . VOICE!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lobically . . .

1. IF one is one of Christ's SHEEP, ONE WILL HEAR CHRIST'S . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . VOICE.

2. Of course, there can be internall static on the line.

and

3. the enemy of our souls can introduce static to the communication channel.

and

4. usually a process of learning to hear HIS STILL SMALL VOICE in the midst of a static plagued communication context is somewhat like a Navy Radioman learning to filter out Morse Code on a very noisey voice radio circuit.

and

5. Great portions of Christiandom want none of that. Like the RELIGIOUS RULERS of 2000 years ago, they demand pseudo precision in their relationship with God--every detail pinned to death with a thousand spears to the wall--literally the letter of the law being deadly, static, unalive, fixed, predictable.

6. while GOD ALMIGHTY WILL HAVE NONE OF THAT . . .

7. GOD ALMIGHTY DEMANDS A LIFE IN HIS SPIRIT THAT YIELDS FRUIT OF ABUNDANT LIFE-LINESS, SPONTENEITY, CREATIVITY, JOY, A DANCE. . . . !!!!NOT!!!! a dry husk pinned to the wall by a thousand Lillipution spears draining the life-blood out of every cell and fiber mind, spirit and body.

8. Thankfully, I have every confidence that the prophetic folks hereon are far enough along in their Boot Camp with The Lord, that they won't be skewered to the wall in any successful way.

9. And, probably, most, wouldn't be very cooperative even in rowdy free-for-all-flying-rocks-and-spears-teasing game of SKEWER THE PROPHET TO THE WALL. It's just not, per se, the favorite recreation of most. Most of us have been there and done that ad nauseum. Gets boring after a while.

10. Personally . . . I've observed in some 'windows' a bloke prayed over and anointed as a prophet of The Lord multiple times by impressive prophets well known in some Christian circles and mostly unknown. I've observed a variety of confirmations and no few mistakes along the way. What a ride! Far better than an E ticket ride, for sure.

11. Sometimes, one learns that many pearls are only appreciated by folks who've been there and done that. FURTHER, that God Almighty HIMSELF INSISTS that some pearls be reserved for some contexts and/or some audiences. And, one of the crucial aspects of a prophet's training is obedience regardless.

So, IF The Lord has told JEDEDIAH to avoid answering that question directly, I seriously doubt you'll get him to disobey The Lord on that score. But it's probably not that serious an issue. He may just prefer to avoid being bothered to that degree about it because he recognizes the line of questioning, having read it a LOT in the Gospels.

[Quix]

LOL.

THAT'S RICH.

As though a prophetic FREEPER saying YES OR NO about whether said FREEPER is a prophet in their own conviction, calling and experience, or not

is going to convince 0.0000000000000000001% of the naysayers hereon--of even what the correct time of day it is!

No doubt the FREEPER prophets hereon are flawed humans but they are NOT

THAT absurdly stupid!

It does appear that God has implemented a new program with the FREEPER prophets and His prophets all around the globe--more intense and more rapid maturing, refining and using. It's not clear how quickly that will begin to show up hereon.

However, hereon as elsewhere in life in general and particularly in Christian life in general . . . as I've long expected and sometimes mentioned hereon . . . the day is getting much closer at hand when

AT some point in the not to distant future,
Authentic Christian prophets (on FR) will speak about news events, events in Christendom and even events in individual FREEPER LIVES . . . and God will confirm within an hour or 24 hours or a few days VERY EMPHATICALLY.

For some reason, MarySecretary is coming to mind. Mary, I wouldn't be surprised at all to come to FR some day not too distant, and find you'd been dramatically healed. LOL. I suppose technically that one of the ways God heals some folks is to Graduate them HOME! TAKE ME WITH YOU! But that's not what I expect in your case--I've certainly long prayed for your healing. And, recently, have begun to feel more faith for that as I've prayed. Therefore, what, I don't know. I think it would be a riot for God to signal a new day with YOU!

Why is it, Mary, that He seems to . . . be . . . if not pleased, satisfied, to keep some of us down on the farm, poor, bedraggled, battle weary, physically struggling . . . seemingly living beneath our inheritance in Him AS HE DECLARES it in His Word. Is it 'only' for HIS GLORY to be the more starkly demonstrated through us? To insure that our pride doesn't destroy our hearing and effectiveness? An interesting phenomenon, anyway.

I was told before bed last night that The Lord was going to speak to me uncommonly and intensely [my paraphrase] in drams in the night, as soon as I got to sleep. I took writing materials; prayed over my mind; asked The Lord to help me remember clearly and write accurately etc. I drink lots of water all the time so have plenty of breaks in the night to wake up soon enough after dreaming to recall at least some many nights. And, last night, I had the STRONG IMPRSSION that a lot was going on--YET--THAT I'D AWAKENED JUST PAST the short time required to recall the dream. It was like seeing a fleeting dream out of the corner of one's eyes--not able to see quickly enough to really catch any of the images--but enough to know there WERE images.

Curious. A bit frustrating. My impression is that God was stoking the furnace, still. Time will tell.

Anyway--let the arrows fly! LOL.

[Quix]

My impression is . . . that short of

carrying individual naysayers across Lake Powell walking on the water, or showing up translated by Holy Spirit into a naysayer’s computer space amidst the shining Glory of God . . . most naysayers hereon would not be convinced of anything no matter what a true prophet said.

BECAUSE, their bias is that there are NO SUCH CRITTERS on this end of the CHURCH AGE.

So, why should a prophet bother playing that game?

[Quix]

Somewhat reasonable—particularly in a local congregation. And, one could sort of construe this as a rather diverse local congregation in some respects.

And, God is often enough very into confirming HIS DOINGS

. . . . alas . . . IN HIS WAYS

IN HIS TIMING

AND USUALLY IN THE CONTEXT OF HIS CHOOSING.

I do have an increasingly strong hunch, however, that folks all around the world in a host of contexts including on MSM news channels

are being setup by ALMIGHTY GOD

to sit catatonic and mouths agape at what God has just done and/or is in the midst of doing.

[Quix]

I've never observed,

FROM

GENESIS TO REVELATION

AND NEVER IN MY LIFE NOR THE LIVES OF ANYONE I'VE KNOWN

That God has EVER been real thrilled with the interrogations of the Korahs; the RELIGIOUS rulers who had the Scriptures memorized; the haughty; the naysaying; the 'agin it' crowd; the bucket-of-rocks brigade; the self-righteous; the proud; . . .

He will, on occasion, share HIS INSIGHTS with the humble, those who seek to come alongside and support HIS SERVANTS; etc.

BTW, It was fun last night . . . one of FR's prophets sat with me on the phone and asked Holy Spirit to transport their perceptions here to my home . . . and then proceded to describe to me in accurate, fairly specific detail, features of my home and abode without my having ever said anything. I did NOT NEED such a confirmation--having long ago been convinced of this character's gifting. It was fun. It felt like God was chuckling over the experience.

Interestingly, anything supernatural or even hinting in a supernatural or purported supernatural event or issue on FR triggers responses more or less identical to Christ's doings in the NT--some variation of a hostile riot. Guaranteed. And the "Christian Bretheren" just as 2000 years ago . . . are the ones with the longest knives and biggest rocks.

[Quix]

A LOT of threads?

I think you have a funny definition of “a lot of.”

[Quix]

FRUIT inspection is the most reliable method.

There’s all kinds of reasons for

FALSE POSITIVES

AND

FALSE NEGATIVES

via other criteria.

[marbren]

Many Good posts on experiencing the active "now" relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ. Pride seems to be the problem. Humility is the answer. God will not be found in a box of anyone’s preconceived notions.

INDEED.

Um, Quix, don’t be shy now. It’s OK to write out in detail exactly what you meant. Don’t hold back.

[Joya]

Lobically . . .

A new Quixism.

Congrats.

[Joya]

Amen. Thank you.

[ArrogantBustard]

Your answer is very much appreciated, and pretty much clears up the questions and objections I have posted.

I note, for the record that:

a) The rules, as explained, leave much room for boorish, churlish, rude, and antisocial behaviour. That’s not a criticism ... just an observation. Town square and all ...

b) The rules, as explained, also provide guidance in responding to the behaviour noted in (a) above while still avoiding the deadly sin of “making it personal”.

c) Ignoring the behaviour in (a) above is, always, an option.

d) “The demeanor of the poster says more about his own confession than the post says about yours” is a good reminder for all.
