Sometimes a Prophecy isn't
I try hard not to be critical of another prophet. I do judge. It's what I am supposed to do. But sometimes a good man, usually a man with the ministry gift of a Pastor Teacher will publish something he says is Prophetic. I know prophetic. This isn't it. Be careful sir....
I wouldn't have picked that from the smorgasbord
If prophetic callings were smorgasbord entre's that we could just select from a long line available, I can think of some I would rather have than the one I seem to be wearing right now.
Being Issiah, kings courts, Ussiah and all.
Or Micah, his contemporary.
Even Jonah. Not welcome but effective.
I guess if Jeremiah's prophetic ministry were examined by the court prophets of his day they would have picked away at it pretty aggressively.
But, if I am a watchman placed on a prophetic wall and do not cry out an alarm, then why did God choose me. How responsible has he made me for this message?
If I am not hearing from God or if I'm a crackpot time will tell that tale. I have nothing to gain and everything to lose by walking in the shoes Jeremiah left behind. I may not fill them, but I must keep walking.
If I were God I wouldn't have picked me and if I were making a choice, I would rather have had the job of being the happy positive prophet at all times.
I don't and he did.
So, get ready.

Pit Diggers arise when the Gospel (good news) isn't convenient
May an outcry be heard from their houses, When You suddenly bring raiders upon them; For they have dug a pit to capture me And hidden snares for my feet. Jeremiah 18:22
The Pharisees hated that idea that Jesus brought, you had access to the Father, most of the ceremony was meaningless, that 72AD was coming. They hated Jesus and killed him.
They threw Jeremiah in a pit. The bad news is the good news might not mesh with what you always believed. Jesus is still in the Miracle Business. He's still making things happen for those who trust him.
We don't need to fear, but we must trust. We are to be the leaders in this new day. This is supposed to be the finest day ever for Christians if we do not lose heart.
I'm afraid many who hate having their little hierarchies disturbed will be looking for a place to set a snare and dig a pit.
Have at it. My God is Well Able!

A Nightmare
I had a dream, more like a nightmare, leading a church service, suddenly, people got up and left just as the anointing fell. Turned and looked behind me and the worship team was gone. I was all alone, in front. Befuddled. Couldn't remember what had or had not happened at all in the whole service if anything. Dream interpretation anyone?
La La La La La La La
Itching ears only hear what they like, what fits into their paradigm.
Abraham didn't like the idea that God was about to destroy Sodom. He argued with God.
Many today are arguing with God over the things he is doing right now. Why? They ask.
Because I am a JUST God and things are out of adJUSTment. I must readJUST things to make them right. This will be painful, but it will be best in the end.
This seems to be impossible for the people of God to hear. They expect that God will allow inJUSTice to continue unabated. He won't. It won't. Things are about to change.

Words of Hope
I am the Lord that Healeth thee. That's been going thru my spirit while I cough wheese and hack.
I need to know that, because right now I don't feel it.
