hey I'm being rejected again, I must be on the right track.
We hear this all the time from todays 'prophets" -
'persecution' means affirmation.
What you
should understand, however, and appear not to, is that Christians are a royal priesthood, a universal (within true Christendom) priesthood with One High Priest.
Jesus is also a Prophet, and the gift of the Holy Spirit is all that is needed for each believer within the Household of God.
Matthew 12:24-28 (New King James Version)
24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub,[a] the ruler of the demons.”
25 But Jesus knew their thoughts, and said to them: “Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation, and every city or house divided against itself will not stand. 26 If Satan casts out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then will his kingdom stand? 27 And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they shall be your judges. 28 But if I cast out demons by the Spirit of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you.
why is the church divided? For as it exists today IT WILL NOT STAND.
And herein I find the lack of credibility: the above passage is spoken by Jesus to the
Judaic Pharisees 2,000 years ago.
attempting to quote this Scripture to Christians, as though God had given it to you to utter against Christ's Church is not believable.
But these sorts of utterings against the Church by "prophets" today is a mark upon them, making them easier to spot.
Mark 7:9
He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition.
Luke 10:16
He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me.”
John 12:48
He who rejects Me, and does not receive My words, has that which judges him—the word that I have spoken will judge him in the last day.
Am i to understand that God has given you these verses to speak against me for doubting you are a prophet, or given for you to speak to affirm yourself as a prophet?
Please clarify this, since if God has given you these words directly for this occassion, you must say so, likewise if He did not you must say so.
Anything short of that is spiritual manipulation by someone attampting to intimidate, and I am not easily so led.
I need to test your prophecies and teachings, Thank You (you know this is required).
I follow Jesus example and judge no one but Jesus will judge those who call upon His name just as Moses will judge those who call upon his name.
They said Jesus was demon possessed. I am not being "fashionable" and actually have no charismatic demoninational friends. you judge unjustly and can continue wander blindly. I leave it in God's hands.
Well, I'm afraid it's not that simple.
You have taken upon yourself mantle of prophet, and claim many other gifts.
I am to discern, but your cooperation as a true prophet or apostle (as Paul commended the Bereans) is required.
Thank You.
