Can a person forfeit the call of God on their lives? Maybe a better question is how does a person neutralize and neuter the call of God. The call of God is without repentance, but it can be rendered null and void when we embrace a lie.
Jesus often was confronted with lies and accusations. Mostly from religious people. From those who saw themselves as anointed with a calling. They were wrong but the lies came anyway. It ended with the cross. Jesus defeated the demons at the cross in a public display. Many people had partnered with the demonic that day. They didn't know it but they suffered a defeat as well.
It's the same today. There were without a doubt people on whom at one time God had a calling in the crowd crying "Crucify Him". They had embraced a great delusion and it meant that they were set aside. On the day of Pentecost when Peter cried out that THEY had crucified the Lord of Glory there were those who cried out "Then what must we do to be saved". Some however in that moment rejected the pain of the delusion they had embraced and turned away. The lie they carried was more powerful than the truth by which they might have been set free.
I have no knowledge of the depths to which they may have sunk. I have no idea if those people ever made it back. Any anointing they once possessed became an offense to Father. Trying to operate in that anointing was a lost cause. In fact it became a stench in the nostrils of God. Every accusation and hateful word they spoke and spread condemned them even further.
It is no different today. There are people in authority who Father God has put in place. We may not love those people. They may be flawed in human terms. Yet they are the ones who according to scripture are "Put Up" and another is taken down. It's not just high office, but even the authority figures we interact with on a daily basis. The demon of rebellion and deception has caused many to lose the touch of God on their lives.
The vile attitude towards authority figures has become a stench to Father. We place ourselves under judgment to be measured by the grace we extend to those who we find ourselves resenting. We are judged by the same standard by which we judge. The result is many find themselves lacking. Lost. Set aside. Marked for the graveyard of lost anointing. Perhaps never to find a way back.
A few like on the day of Pentecost might find their way back, but not many. There certainly were far more than 3000 present when Peter spoke. These so deluded went to the grave lost in their deception. Some even entered hell's gates thinking they were holding a standard. They were, but it was the enemies standard.
It's about hatred. It's about the ANTI CHRIST attitude of judgment, anger, hatred and lies. All fruits of the evil spirit to which they have become attached. It will destroy them eventually if they don't find a way out of the black dungeon they have locked themselves into.
Many think they speak truth when they spread lies. They think they are wise when foolishness condemns them. It's a painful thing to watch.
I have personally known some so called men of God who's deception and delusion so captured them that they have become worthless men. Useless to the kingdom. God cannot speak love and hate from the same mouth. It is impossible for sweet and sour to flow from the same fount.
Is there a cure? Maybe not. I don't have one. Repentance from death works is a start. That is not a misspelling. There are dead works, and there are death works. Words of hate and death destroy the anointing and neutralize the call of God on a person's life.
Be careful who you accept as a prophet, teacher, pastor and particularly anyone who describes themselves as Apostle. They can take you to hell. I have on man who I know who's soul has been in jeopardy for several years. I doubt not only his calling, but his salvation. There is no fruit of the spirit in his life. None. There should be some evidence. He may be a spiritual zombie. Looking still alive on the outside but walking dead man's bones.
Sadly I have tried to approach him directly, deal with him thru those he seems to revere as senior authorities, thru people we have in common. Nothing seems to work. He is so filled with hate perhaps the adage is true. People that hate themselves will hate everyone else... EVEN IF THEY CALL THEMSELVES APOSTLE.
