You're free to not believe that He does.
I don't need you to tell me I'm free to not believe you; and you're right, I don't believe you. I don't think you believe your own prophecy. If you did, you'd hightail it out of the US.

As I said, I'm divorced. I have shared custody of a pre-teen daughter. I believe a man's first ministry is to the immediate family God has given him. For me, that's my daughter.

These are my options:
1) Leave this country alone and leave my daughter to die here.
2) Kidnap my daughter and flee the country, and then she'll hate me the rest of her life for taking her mother away from her.
3) Die here with my daughter.
4) Hope and pray my ex-wife finally accepts things are playing out as I have prophesied, and then trust me enough to get out of here together.

I have chosen option 4. The situation is completely out of my control and in God's hands. As I said, I know where I'm going when I die, and I have no fear about that. Living in the Great Tribulation with a young daughter is more concerning to be honest.

Here's today's update on how this prophecy is coming closer: Russia and US on verge of ‘open armed conflict’ – Moscow — RT Russia & Former Soviet Union

As an addendum to that post above:

Also, because I believe there will be an economic collapse before this all happens (more prophetic dreams you wouldn't believe), Manasseh was always meant to be dual-purpose. It was to help the homeless in obedience to Christ, and to help people when this financial collapse happens. It would serve as a staging area for Christians to come together and prepare to leave this country en masse. But, all that's in God's hands as well. I've done all I can do.

You keep saying you're warning people and they should take you seriously and "come out of her"; and if they don't, they do so at their own peril. Yet you yourself don't even heed your own warning. You should either practice what you preach or quit preaching. I can make up all kinds of excuses why I don't need to come out of her too.

You keep coming back saying you have more dire predictions but you can't share them or you'll get banned. Honestly dude, you sound pretty ridiculous. I've gone back and read all your previous posts in this thread and I have to say, I worry about your stability.

Did you not read the post above the one you replied to? I spelled it all out for you.

Oh, you're gaslighting me now? I'm not sure why you hang around this post except to be hateful to me for no reason. Are you jealous of God speaking to me? You're more than welcome to have my place. I've went through almost two decades of rejection and hardship and unbelievable sorrows for it. It's all yours bro. I hope God opens your eyes and gives you my calling. You can have it!

He has a fair point concerning more prophecy. What is the value of a prophet who doesn't actually tell the people all that God has shared with him.

I hear a lot of melodrama. I heard you say you only have four options. I hear a lot of excuses. What I didn't hear you say is: I've decided to listen to the Lord and leave all behind to obey Him.

If God gets mad at me and kills me because I want to stay with my daughter and He thinks that's disobedience, I'm willing to accept it and answer for my decision. There are no good options for me and all that is also in His hands. Call it melodrama if you want to.

I will no longer respond to you unless you repent of the way you're speaking to me. So, until then, peace brother and may God be with you.

What all do you want to know? Did you watch the two Youtube videos I linked? Watch them first.

The woman at the well said, "Sir, I see that You are a prophet..." and then she told everyone else, "Come, see a man that told me all the things that I've done..."
...and Jonah is an example of a prophet. And, in his case, he was reluctant to tell the people of Nineveh what God said, and scripture tells us why he was reluctant. He didn't want God to save Nineveh. Jonah would've rather it had been destroyed, but Jonah must've known, or at least have been pretty confident, that the people of Nineveh would believe him and repent and so he attempted to avoid the mission.

What I hear you saying is God told you to warn people that the US is Babylon and people should come out of her. But the example you have set is they don't need to listen to Him if they have a good enough excuse not to. Why would He give you a message like that if He didn't expect people to obey Him? That's why it's pretty obvious to me He never gave you that message; you came up with it out of your own imagination.

Respond, don't respond, that's up to you. I won't repent because I've done nothing to repent of.

I'm gonna pass on that. I'm merely commenting on the worth of a prophet who doesn't prophesy?

I personally think Jonah was mad because God made a liar out of him. He told the people X would happen and then X didn't happen. He then went and had a mental and emotional breakdown as a result.

I would be overjoyed if the people repented, and God made me a liar. I live here! Everyone I know and love lives here. I'd have nothing but gains (I'd rather lose 20 years of prophesying than to be right) if God decided not to destroy America.

The point of being a prophet is to speak God's truth, and His name should not be used to manipulate your ex-wife into running away with you.

Jonah was upset because he was a racist. He knew God was as merciful as He is just and he didn't want the Ninevites to be spared.

LOL! What's the point in being a prophet if no one listens to you? THE WHOLE POINT OF THE THREAD!
Big difference. I'm under no commission to listen. You are to speak, if indeed, you have been so called.
Most prophets weren't listened to. God told Isaiah beforehand that his ministry would be largely ignored.

That's absurd if that's what you think I'm doing. She's happily remarried to the man she left me for. I've long since forgiven them and I'm happy for them and pray for their well-being.

I'm concerned for my daughter's welfare - and yours! I've done my job in telling you what God plans to do. You've heard it. You may not believe it today, or tomorrow, but the day it comes you will. And what you do to prepare between now and then is not my responsibility.

Yes, now try to psychologically put yourself in my position: God calls you to sacrifice your time on Earth to prophesy something that people won't even listen to. How would that make you feel? To be rejected and hated and despised for telling people something they definitely DO NOT want to hear - especially from your own brothers and sisters in Christ?

You too would ask, "What's the point in being a prophet?"
