THE OFFICE OF PROPHET IS ABOUT TO RETURN TO THE CHURCH BODY WORLDWIDE !

The Office of Prophet is about to return , This is not from a person but from a yearn ,

From the calling of many for my voice to speak out ,

True guidance directly into My House ,

For many confusion has been the stage ,

But now I will speak both in grace and in rage ,

For judgement is here in My house ,

Holiness received and strange fire cast out ,

The true and faithful shall remain and be renewed ,

But the false and counterfeit burned to sinew ,

No longer will I permit the spirit of the harlot Jezebel ,

I shall cast this cup into hell ,

So come My Children and drink from The Cup of The Lord ,

Open your mouths and speak ! Pick up your Sword !

For I AM about to reveal all that is TRUE !

Through My Prophets I speak "First" to !

Amos 3:7-8

7Surely the Lord God will do nothing without revealing His secret to His servants the prophets.

8The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord God has spoken; who can but prophesy?

Ephesians 3:5

5 God did not reveal it to previous generations, but now by his Spirit he has revealed it to his holy apostles and prophets.

Hosea 12:10

10 I sent my prophets to warn you

with many visions and parables.”

1 Thessalonians 5:20-21

20Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning].

21But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast.

1 Timothy 4:14

14Do not neglect the gift which is in you, [that special inward endowment] which was directly imparted to you [by the Holy Spirit] by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you [at your ordination].

1 Corinthians 10:20-24

20No, I am suggesting that what the pagans sacrifice they offer [in effect] to demons (to evil spiritual powers) and not to God [at all]. I do not want you to fellowship and be partners with diabolical spirits [by eating at their feasts].

21You cannot drink the Lord's cup and the demons' cup. You cannot partake of the Lord's table and the demons' table.

22Shall we thus provoke the Lord to jealousy and anger and indignation? Are we stronger than He [that we should defy Him]? 23All things are legitimate [permissible--and we are free to do anything we please], but not all things are helpful (expedient, profitable, and wholesome). All things are legitimate, but not all things are constructive [to character] and edifying [to spiritual life]. 24Let no one then seek his own good and advantage and profit, but [rather] each one of the other [let him seek the welfare of his neighbor]. Amos 5:1-15

1HEAR THIS word which I take up concerning you in lamentation, O house of Israel:

2The Virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall no more rise; she lies cast down and forsaken on her land; there is no one to raise her up. 3For thus says the Lord God: The city that went forth a thousand shall have a hundred left, and that which went forth a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.

4For thus says the Lord to the house of Israel: Seek Me [inquire for and of Me and require Me as you require food] and you shall live! 5But seek not [the golden calf at] Bethel nor enter into [idolatrous] Gilgal, and pass not over to [the idols of] Beersheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into captivity and exile, and Bethel [house of God] shall become Beth-aven [house of vanity, emptiness, falsity, and futility] and come to nothing. 6Seek the Lord [inquire for and of Him and require Him] and you shall live, lest He rush down like fire upon the house of Joseph [representing the ten tribes] and devour it, and there be none to quench it in Bethel [the center of their idol hopes]. 7You who turn justice into [the bitterness of] wormwood and cast righteousness (uprightness and right standing with God) down to the ground, 8Seek Him Who made the [cluster of stars called] Pleiades and [the constellation] Orion, Who turns the shadow of death or deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the face of the earth--the Lord is His name-- 9Who causes sudden destruction to flash forth upon the strong so that destruction comes upon the fortress. 10They hate him who reproves in the [city] gate [holding him as an abomination and rejecting his rebuke], and they abhor him who speaks uprightly. 11Therefore because you tread upon the poor and take from him exactions of wheat, you have built houses of hewn stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted pleasant vineyards, but you shall not drink their wine. 12For I know how manifold are your transgressions and how mighty are your sins--you who afflict the [uncompromisingly] righteous, who take a bribe, and who turn aside the needy in the [court of the city] gate from their right.

13Therefore he who is prudent will keep silence in such a time, for it is an evil time. 14Seek (inquire for and require) good and not evil that you may live, and so the Lord, the God of hosts, will be with you, as you have said.

15Hate the evil and love the good and establish justice in the [court of the city's] gate. It may be that the Lord, the God of hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph [the northern kingdom].

[reaganaut]

Only sometimes?? I understand his ramblings about 10% of the time, its still funny.

[mdmathis6]

Jedadiah...you never answered my question from another thread....based on 1John 4...what say you concerning the person of Jesus Christ?

[mdmathis6]

I’ve asked Jedadiah to express his view on the person of Jesus Christ as per the test laid down in 1John 4:1-7!

Depending on his answer, he may or may not have something to say to us. He did not answer the question when challenged in a previous thread..but perhaps he did not see the question.

[mdmathis6]

If Jedadiah answers in the affirmative the question I’ve posed to him based on 1 John 4:1-7 he may have something to say to us...otherwise if he can’t, won’t, or has been forbidden to then we have to disregard anything he says!

[metmom]

If what he says doesn’t line up with Scripture or has no Scriptural support, chapter and verse, then we can disregard anything he says.

Even the stuff that does make sense.

The stuff that doesn’t I disregard anyway.

[mdmathis6]

“Scripture states that the Gospel will be preached in the whole earth before the end comes, but does not say whether or not there will be a great harvest of souls. As a matter of fact, Scripture indicates an apostasy before the end. The love of many will grow cold.”

Rev. 14:14-20
14. Behold, a white cloud, and upon the cloud one sat like unto the Son of man, having on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a sharp sickle.
15. And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

16. And he that sat on the cloud thrust in his sickle on the earth; and the earth was reaped.

17. And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, he also having a sharp sickle.

18. And another angel came out from the altar, which had power over fire; and cried with a loud cry to him that had the sharp sickle, saying, Thrust in thy sharp sickle, and gather the clusters of the vine of the earth; for her grapes are fully ripe.

19. And the angel thrust in his sickle into the earth, and gathered the vine of the earth, and cast it into the great winepress of the wrath of God.

20. And the winepress was trodden without the city, and blood came out of the winepress.

To be fair Revelation speaks of a huge harvest of souls followed by a harvest of wrath. Yet the folks you speak of seem to be ignoring the harvest of wrath. There might be a “latter rain” but it will be in the midst of world wide persecution as Revelation states that multitudes are put to death for refusing to be a part of the Beast/false prophet/image antichrist system. The two witnesses are in the battle as are the 144 thousand set apart ones. Moses vs the priests of Pharoah or Elijah vs the priests of Baal...on a worldwide epic scale. Christians are persecuted but they are not without supernatural help and for 42 months the plans of the Antichrist and his system are stimied. At some point the rapture occurs...perhaps at the same time as the witnesses are raised from the dead...perhaps earlier than when the beast system takes full charge and the martyrs of the beast sytem will be those who missed their first pre-rapture oppurtunity but believed later...there is scriptural support for several views.

[mdmathis6]

1 John 4:1-7 is a black and white test regarding the testing of the spirits. It tasks a person, prophet, or spirit to acknowlege Jesus as God in the Flesh as well as savior and Lord. Now a person can have wrong ideas and need some chastisement as to his use of scripture but no child of God or any spiritual voice or true prophet will ever deny that that Jesus is God in Flesh, Savior and Lord! Any spiritual voice, angel, prophet or special messenger of God will never deny the Savior as God in Flesh!

[metmom]

Even someone who passes that test can have faulty doctrine, as you have stated. That’s why it needs to line up with Scripture or have Scriptural support.

Just because someone is truly a Christian, doesn’t mean I believe everything he claims to be from God.

[metmom]

Yes, that harvest happens but during the Tribulation period, not prior to it and certainly not because of the dominionist movement, or apostolic reformation movement that these folks claim is going to usher in the kingdom of God and banish death.

This apostolic reformation movement with its thinking and teaching that we can bring in the kingdom of God here and now eliminates the need for the Tribulation. Scripture would then be wrong that it is going to happen.

[mdmathis6]

I’m not into the apostolic movement per se...I agree they are off base. I’m not so sure about the 2 harvest times...I get the sense that they are immediately back to back or happening almost simultaneously. Revelation speaks of multitudes martyred specifically by the Beast at the same time the Beast is hampered by the preaching and spiritual power of the two witnesses. Thessalonians speaks of “the restrainer” that is taken out of the way which allows the “son of perdition “ to be revealed. For, in this case, it is taught by pre tribs that this restrainer is the “Holy Spirit” by way of all present and departed believers of the church who will be raptured up, thus the “restrainer” is taken out of the way. Yet, I can’t find any other support for the Restrainer as being the Holy Spirit, or Spirit filled church and it’s believers and the “restrainer” may very well be some other angelic entity or hampering agent God has set in place.

Is there to be a rapture and a catching up of present and past believers...yes! The Bible is clear on that, but I think the timing is a little more in question. We have the words of our Lord who says “no one knows the hour save the Father in Heaven” and also says “Behold I come(interesting that it always seems to be translated in the present tense) like a thief!”

So count me in the pre-trib, oops mid trib,oops prior to armegeddon/wine press of wrath camp! Yet Christ has said he will never forsake us, no matter how dark everything gets!

[caww]

those who reject the Church reject Christ.

Well that would depend on what the scriptures say the church is...and according to these the church is defined as the body of believers in Christ...not in church. Jesus never said you cannot reject a church...It's rejection of Him.

Why is it catholics don't say "Catholic church" when referencing church? It's mis-leading to not do so for we know Catholics believe their church is the only church who "owns" the truth...and many Christians disagree with you on that matter.

[mdmathis6]

Apollos had to be better instructed by an interested Christian couple.

This world is entering its darkest phases and scripture has stated that Judgment first starts in the House of God. Should Christ still tarry for a while, God will empower his believers who will stand true and above all stand. There will be many voices claiming to speak for God and we’ll need to know how to test them...some of them will speak truly and will pass the test of 100 per cent accuracy and will line up with scripture as God has instructed us in the old testament. The rest will be false and of the spirit of Antichrist. At some time during all this, the rapture comes...”therfore comfort each other with these words”.

[metmom]

So count me in the pre-trib, oops mid trib,oops prior to armegeddon/wine press of wrath camp! Yet Christ has said he will never forsake us, no matter how dark everything gets!

I hear you. Whatever is going to happen is going to happen.

Our concern is to be found in Him.

If we are walking with Him as we ought, then whatever happens and the timing of it is incidental. It may not be any fun, but we're secure anyway.

[metmom]

I agree.

My thoughts are just that even an unbeliever can hit on nuggets of truth. After all, God used a donkey one day. So I don’t immediately write off anything anyone has to say.

So, if the source is a true believer, great. Then I still look at whether what he is purporting lines up with Scripture.

[MarkBsnr]

Christians follow Christ and He is the head of HIS Church where HIS WORD is the FINAL Authority.

I guess that you missed the part where Christ leaves us His stewards in order to evangelize the world and teach the Faith.

No one is interested in your church with it's man-made belief system. So give it up because we are already spoken for....

I fear that you are correct about those who reject the Church. It is for their sake that I continue.

[MarkBsnr]

There are a handful of Catholics who post here who are reasonable and courteous and whom I would definitely conclude have truly put their faith in Christ, in spite of their Catholicism, not because of it. But then again, they don't resort to infantile, repetitive posting of images and mockery and derision. They are ones with whom you can agree to disagree and at least make some kind of effort to try to understand our objections to Catholicism.

Aww, so sad - those Catholics don't know to tip their hats at the Protestant overlords whenever they deign to walk by. It doesn't matter that the Protestant pantheon is, on its fringes, become more pagan than anything that rolled out of Africa in the distant past.

No, what matters is the distant remembrance of those days when Calvinist Protestant denominations ruled America and Catholics and Baptists and Quakers cringed when the masters passed. Why can't the Protestants put the Catholics back down on the plantation where they behaved themselves? Why can't the Catholics accept the fact that they are second rate, second class and, oh, just not worthy? Why do Catholics have to remind everyone that the Protestant Revolution's spawned promulgation of all the first millennium's heresies and most of the minor ones? Oh, for the heady heydays when Thomas Nast ruled the editorial cartoon:

Christ only created one Church. The legacy of the Reformation is the legacy of the splitter and quitter. If you split and quit, you have left the Church. Ergo, there is no need to further qualify the Church of Christ from the churches created (on a daily basis) by men.

Anti Catholics here claim that there are different denominations within the Church. No, there aren't. The furniture may be different, but doctrine and the Eucharist are the same. We don't get to create Christianity; we may either believe it or no. That belief is what separates us from non Christians.

Thats the best post I’ve seen on the Free Republic RF in a long long time. Thank you.

[MarkBsnr]

Thats the best post I’ve seen on the Free Republic RF in a long long time. Thank you.

Many thanks. I would direct anyone who wishes to understand the antiCatholic vitriol and overall attitude of many ersatz Christians to read up on the editorial cartoons of Thomas Nast and see the evolution of his thoughts and beliefs and of the attitude of that era. It is a reflection of and an encouragement for the level of antiCatholicism that we see amongst the usual suspects here who longingly look back at a better day when Catholics 'knew their place'.

Splitters and quitters don't get to define Christianity.

How funny the screed complaining about how they think they're being treated brought to us by the promulgators of the Inquisition.
