How dare you show up and ask a reasonable question of the OP in this thread? You'll be branded a heretic and excommunicated for such an unspeakable act. There is no middle ground here, stranger. You're either with OP or against him, there is no two ways about it.
Sarcasm aside, the actual problem can be summed up in this: Our Lord Jesus Christ has called me to be a prophet. They don't believe that He has because it doesn't measure up to
their standards of what a prophet is (they'll say I don't measure up to the Bible's standards, but hey, with 45,000 denominations of Christianity, there are so many standards to choose from!) At this point, nothing I say or do could convince them otherwise because then they'd have to humbly admit they were wrong, admit their theology was wrong, and admit that they treated their Brother in Christ wrong. God forbid! That would be like only having 44,999 denominations left to choose from.
Since you asked reasonably, I'll share with you an excerpt of my testimony that I've written elsewhere publicly (this was written almost exactly a year ago):
Take a look into my mind. I’ve known this for almost 20 years [about the destruction of America to come]. It’s always in the back of my thoughts. I’ve tried to share it everywhere I could: I wrote about it in apocalyptic prose in my book Beyond Millennium (I did so as an artform in tribute to John’s Revelation), I preached the message at church, I shared the sermons on Facebook, I made a website called bowandcrown.com to share my sermons and news updates leading to this, I shared it on internet forums, in Bible studies, on the street, in the homes of family and friends, and I sent it to many churches, famous preachers, and evangelists like Joyce Meyers and John Hagee. People ignore me and just think I’m crazy. And many Christians want to tell me how wrong I am: that America is not Babylon and Putin cannot be the “Antichrist” or Beast of Revelation. That there will be no nuclear war and how God wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen to America. They call me a false prophet and all sorts of other things. After my second divorce, I deleted many of the places I had posted about it online as I told the Lord I was done prophesying, but my actions did not change His plan for me. In fact, He used my divorce as a prophetic sign as detailed in my letter to Steve Upchurch which I’ll share. So, here I am, compiling all of it and declaring it again as the time is closer than it has ever been. And I’ve done my best to leave the original links unedited so you can see in my timestamps, I prophesied these things well before now - I didn’t just start talking about them because of current world events.
As a result of the slander and accusations I’ve faced, I’ve spent many times in prayer asking the Lord, “Am I a false prophet? Lord, tell me if I am so that I may repent. I don’t want to lead anyone astray. Everyone already thinks I’m crazy, it’ll be a relief to just confirm it, forget about it, and get on with living a normal life. I’ll humbly admit I was wrong and a liar and that perhaps I’m mentally ill with delusions or schizophrenia.” As a former mental health practitioner, I am well aware the things I believe the Lord has revealed to me sound like delusions of grandeur. I’m 100% cognizant of how people must perceive me when I share these things. When I was married and my children were with me, I felt a great heaviness for my (ex)wives and children when they had to go into public knowing people probably thought, “They live with Jon Minor who is crazy and thinks he’s a prophet. How embarrassing.” Or when I visit friends and go into public, how people must think of me. I imagine when people read this, they will think, “I work with that guy and he’s not that great” or “I went to school with Jon and used to party with him” or “I bought weed from that guy” or “I used to date Jon” (they probably won’t admit to that actually lol), or “Jon Minor has really went off the deep end as a religious nut.” People will talk about my endless list of failures and sins as if they know something about me that God doesn’t. One thing I’ve learned in growing in the Lord is this: God never approved of ANYONE’S sins - not even His most beloved servants. However, if He doesn’t use men who’ve sinned for His purposes, He wouldn’t have men to use. Jesus was the only perfect man. I’m just a guy God chose to use for this purpose. I’m no better than you and He doesn’t love me or respect me any more than He does you or anyone else. In fact, I hope this encourages you. If God could use such a lowly sinner and weak vessel as myself for this calling, how much more can He use someone like you! (If you’re jealous of me, please ask Him to carry my burden and let you be the prophet - it has cost me so much grief and sorrow and I’d be happy to have had a normal life.) I tried to live a normal life and keep up the facade of being a normal person, but the heaviness of the prophecy was greater than my humility because I knew the truth of it was from the Lord and the implications of it were too great to remain silent. But, pray as I might, I only found silence from the Holy Spirit when I would plead with Him about whether I’m a false prophet.
Again, I’m just a guy. Compared to the greatness of the Lord, we're nothing. Remember though, God loved us so much He sent His Son Jesus to die for us and that means we are everything to Him. He didn’t die for the angels, or the planet, or the heavens - He died for you and He died for me. All who accept our Lord Jesus Christ and praise Him and lift up His Name in this fallen world are His glory - we are His eternal trophies. So, while you may feel insignificant in this world, your worth is immeasurable to God.
Today, 10/17/2023, as I start writing this, I prayed to the Lord to show me what I should do about these prophecies. I prayed this specifically because, two days ago, I had decided I would write an accounting of being God’s prophet (see my Facebook 10/15/2023). After praying, I began my daily bible reading for our “read the Bible in a year” group. I got the reading plan from a website and the sets for each day had been determined years before I even started it for 2023. This is what I read immediately after praying in Habakkuk 2:2-3 "Record the vision, And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run. For the vision is yet for the appointed time; It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail. Though it tarries, wait for it; For it will certainly come, it will not delay." I cannot help but think God had ordained that reading for today from the beginning of time so that when I prayed for His guidance on prophesying this very day, He had the answer in His Word in front of me immediately. I’ve walked with the Lord too long to believe that’s a coincidence. I’m now two days into writing this and prayed again before I read my Bible, “Lord, please one more time confirm this is what I should do.” And my daily Bible reading was this: Jeremiah 4:16 "Report it to the nations, now! Proclaim over Jerusalem, 'Besiegers come from a far country, And lift their voices against the cities of Judah.’” This is incredible considering the significance I will reveal later about what I wrote in my book 12 years ago concerning the Beast and what is happening in Israel now.
