Prophecy

Of course we know that everyone who "receives a word" regarding their finances is not going to get rich.  We also are well aware of the fact, the "prophets for profit" are the ones living large off of the donations of folks who are often giving more than they can afford.  I realize wealth is relative.  Compared to Kenneth Copeland and Joel Osteen I'm poor.  Unlike Joyce Meyer, I couldn't afford to have all my kids on the tax free payroll, but . . . much of the rest of the world would see me as quite wealthy.  I must look wealthy, as I receive donation requests regularly on social media.  My point is not about the prosperity ministry, though, it's about true prophecy that hasn't yet come to pass.

Abba laid it on my heart the other night to consider Ezekiel and Jeremiah, along side some of the watchmen of today, myself included.  My call is not that of a prophet, but there have been times Abba has given me a word of foreknowledge that has come to pass.  There are many of us saying things, very similar things, that have not yet come to pass, and we are often dismissed in our warning.  I cringe when one of my daughters dismissively compares me to Jeremiah as a prophet of doom.  The warning Jeremiah gave, came to pass!

Some of the warnings of Ezekiel have not been fulfilled yet, as well as the words in the last chapter of Isaiah.  Many prophecies contained in what we call the "minor prophets" are still to be fulfilled, and they will come to pass.

Sadly as the prosperity teachers are leading thousands upon thousands to believe the love of money can be sanctified, the fulfillment of the prophecies of old are going into place.  The words of the watchmen of these end of days will come to pass.  Jeremiah was dismissed, disrespected, his scroll cut up and burned, thrown in a well, and yet the promises of the false prophet that "times would get better" did not come to pass.  The words of Jeremiah stood true and Babylon did invade Jerusalem, and YHWH brought them out after the time of captivity.

The world has ignored G-d's Word for far too long, and if He punished His chosen people; don't think for a moment, the judgment will not be harsh on those who have ignored His Commands and disregarded His Son.

Awakened

Due to continued issues with the new computer and the webcam, this week's "BEFORE It Was HEADLINES It Was PROPHECY" is still in the editing room, but here is the transcript.

I was awakened early Thursday morning by the voice of YHWH.  HE stated, "My love is not unconditional."  Immediately I did a spirit search wondering if I was using that term in my writing or speaking.  Once I was awake and aware that He had my undivided attention . . . He continued, "If my love were unconditional, my Son would not have had to die.  You cannot earn my love, but it is not without condition."

Here is the good news.  YHWH loved us while we were yet sinners.  Romans 5:8 tells us Messiah died for us while we were still in our sinful state, but . . . when we repent to follow Messiah, we are given the Great Spirit of Holiness, Ruach HaKodesh, that we no longer walk in our sinful way.  I'm not saying we become perfect, but I am saying we are striving to please our Heavenly Father.  If we are truly following Messiah as He called us to do, our desire is to walk as He walked.

Obedience does not earn the love of YHWH.  We obey because we love Him and because He first loved us.  The love and blessing of YHWH is quite conditional.  Salvation came at an enormous price, that's a condition!  Joshua told the children of Israel, "choose this day whom you will serve."  That is conditional!  A choice must be made.  Our Heavenly Father and His Son our Messiah are not to be just part of the mix of our cluttered self-serving life.

When we become a believer, a follower of Messiah, we are called to come out from among "them" meaning our old ways and old crowds and be separate.  We may still be around the same people, but we are to interact differently.  Y'hshuwah would not have given the stern and dire warning that many would hear, "Depart from me ye workers of iniquity" if that were not a clear and probably danger.  Iniquity is translated from the Greek word, anomia, meaning without the law, or lawless.

G-d is love, therefore He is the living existence of what love is, as well as what it is, to love.  There is no place in Scripture we'll find the adjective of love to be "unconditional."  As a matter of fact, Scripture states He will love those He loves and show mercy on those He will show mercy.  He is Elohim, the Creator of the universe.  He is the One who defines love.  His children are called to love Him in return, not redefine it!

Dependence

Due to the fact I spent the past week in techno-purgatory, "BEFORE It Was HEADLINES It Was PROPHECY" will not air on video this week, but here is the transcript.

This message is urgent!

There are a number of people who are already dependent upon the system, who are also now realizing what it being provided is simply not enough.  There is a large increase of requests for donations made by people who are, what is termed "disabled."  I'm not judging a disability or state assistance, for that matter; I'm simply stating while the government offers increased provision according to family size, the actual buying power will continue to decline.  The growing number of working poor will not be able to withstand increasing costs and provide the charity needed by those whom the government is failing.

Economic calamity is looming.  It is not a matter of if, but when . . .  Shale oil and fracking will not be the "cure" for America's economy, but the surplus will reduce the price of oil.  America no longer has the largest economy, but it does appear, we have the largest debt.  This imbalance will not maintain.  I'm not suggesting that we stop helping the poor, but rather we must find ways and offer help that is actually helpful!  Further financial dependency is unsustainable.  As pensions are being cut, social security will be, as well, as any other government allotment.

 Even McDonald's is losing revenue, so selling hamburgers to each other is not an option.  Wal-Mart, healthcare, and government are three major employers at this time.  If we really consider the integrated network of employment within the major employers we would discover, very quickly the rapid direction toward a single entity of power.  Regardless of whether you "earned it" or not; provision by the powers that be, will ultimately leave all those who are dependent at the mercy of a very unmerciful organization.

 The only sustainable solution will be utter dependence upon YHWH for our health and provision using and sharing the talents in which we have been endowed.
