I'm still waiting on people to tell me what they thought of my preaching. I'm interested in your opinions as to whether my sermons are heretical or not.

I really think it was stiff and introverted.
It also sounded like creative writing class, not exegesis.
You need to grow much more than you realize.

You are still young, so there is hope you will mature and not pursue a persona you are trying to create for yourself.

Here is a REAL prophesy coming from someone who is not a prophet.

Let's say, for the sake of argument, your two dreams (Beirut and Druze) have some prophetic significance. What's the message the Lord wants us to know?
I will answer what I believe okay? If the Lord quickens me later and says, "No, this is it", I will come back and tell you what the Holy Spirit has told me.

I believe the point of the smaller dreams, like Beirut and the Druze, is so that people will believe the greater prophecy: the coming destruction of the USA. In order to be faithful and obedient to God, and to avoid this catastrophe, you must do as His word commands: Revelation 18:4 "I heard another voice from heaven, saying, “Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive any of her plagues..."

That's why I believe He sends me the dreams. To confirm me.

By the way, I'm not infallible. While I share what He gives me, many times I am trying to make sense of it myself. I had no idea why He sent me a dream about Beirut and the Druze until after the fact.

Sometimes He speaks SO clearly. Like, when I've been in cities and holding my sign, He talks very clearly to me. It's wild lol. He guides and directs me even in little things. And then other times, He is quiet and leaves me to walk by faith. I have to walk by faith like everyone else. Like when He told me to go to LA and I had exactly enough money to make it there but not enough to return. I looked like an idiot doing it, but He got me there, fulfilled the mission, and got me home - as He assured me He would.

Well, you've been such a great encouragement. (sarcasm)

God gave me my style. Do you want every meal to taste the same? I don't.

Honestly Brother, by the way you've spoken to me, over and over, I assure you that you still need to grow more than you realize as well. You got the wrath and the anger of the Lord down to a T, now work on your compassion and love.

But I do appreciate you taking the time to listen to me and give me your opinion.

I will share this dream as well. I may have shared it on here previously, but I'm not sure.

On June 1, 2021, I had another prophetic dream that I emailed to [my pastor at the time]. It is as such: "Last night I had a dream I believe was prophetic. There was a giant skeleton in robes approaching the Earth and he was fighting all the superheroes of Earth: Batman, Superman, etc. He was defeating all of them. Then he began his quest to Earth to conquer it. He shapeshifted when he came to Earth and had a very long, red, snake-like body with hundreds of legs and an upright torso. His head resembled a mix of a lion, a dog, and a human. He wore a crown on his head. He was enormous. He said aloud that he was gathering power and would soon have all the power and that he would conquer all. One of the last and greatest superheroes was called upon to fight him. When he arrived to battle, he appeared under the beast's feet. He was trampled and crushed. There was no hope left for the people of Earth, nothing left to fight against this beast. Then, while this dreadful beast was coming upon us, I looked and saw the people of Earth fighting one another. War was breaking out everywhere amongst the people. The supply shortages had reached even the arms manufacturers and I saw them in their factory rolling out a very small assault vehicle. It was one of the few they could still make in order for the innocent to defend themselves. I saw the fear on the faces of those making it and could see their desperation knowing that it would not be enough to help. Then a realization came upon me like an overwhelming understanding, a knowing of great peril: the shortages were reaching the food supply. Everyone on Earth began to worry about food. It was such a greatly disturbing feeling to feel all the concern of the entire world at once. Then I woke up."

Jesus called Peter "Satan" when Peter thought he was doing a very noble thing towards Jesus.

Jon, I don't think God would choose superheroes to be in your dream because most of the marvel super heroes are inspired by Hinduism.

What you saw was a summation of Revelation 6 and some of the coming perils on the earth. In your dream you saw elements of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse.

White horse = Global subjugation = Crown and declaration of conquering
Pale horse = Death & Hell = skeleton
Red horse = Murder Strife = snake-like creature
Black horse = Famine and Scarcity = supply shortages

There is much more but the theme is the same.

Why do you think you were shown these things?

Protestants do this all day here. Verse vs Verse. Iron sharpens iron so to speak.
But all i see is dulling not sharpening.
So if i were do to the whole Verse vs Verse and say that Jesus said to "shake the dust of your feet and move on" there will be no introspection from you or growth, or "sharpening".
This is why you, believe it or not, are also filtering out things and God bless you because He knows your heart too.
Does this really change the fact that we should not filter out counter points to our own understanding?

Well, I don't believe the US is Babylon; I don't find it in scripture. I entertained the idea at one time but now I don't think so. Will God destroy the US? I have no idea. It's possible I guess. But that could be said of almost any nation.

The Lord just put this on my heart. Since the dream of Beirut was not enough to convince you that God has called me to be a prophet
That is because we are not judging whether you are a prophet on the basis of your experience, but on the word of God. You don't seem to understand that. :(

Having prophetic dreams does not make one a prophet. We have shown you from the scriptures those who had prophetic dreams but were not prophets.

There really is nothing more to say. If you won't listen to the word of God, no point in us continuing to say anything.

the peace of the Lord be with you.

If it were about dreams, a good number of us here should be called prophets, too.

Here is what you keep failing to open your eyes to...

This what prophets did i8n the early church!

But if an unbeliever or an inquirer comes in while everyone is prophesying, they are convicted
of sin and are brought under judgment by all, as the secrets of their hearts are laid bare.
So they will fall down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you!”
1 Corinthians 14:24-25

After telling others about some dream you had concerning Beirut?
Did they become convicted of sin and were brought under judgment by all, for the secrets of their hearts were laid bare?
Then they fell down and worship God, exclaiming, “God is really among you”
????

You are out of touch with what the function of prophets in the church did!


At best... You are a psychic! Not a prophet!

There are no more prophets, sir.
Only witnesses who hold to the TESTIMONY of JESUS.
There is NOTHING that needs to be added to the STORY of our salvation in by and through THE SON..
And anyone who does...well that one is made manifest is a false witness...
Ridiculous.

I've spent a great deal of my adult life ministering to the developmentally disabled, physically disabled, poor, marginalized, homeless, addicts, atheists, orphans, suicidal and psychotic patients, and prisoners. I'm very well-versed and educated in the Bible. Do you think the weight of all my knowledge or the compassion of our Lord Jesus Christ is more helpful to those people?

Pampered little boy? What a foolish thing to say about someone you nothing about. Like I said, and I stand by it, you still have a lot of growing to do in the Lord, sir. Humble yourself and repent.

I've posted this here before, maybe you've watched it already. I laid this all out in a message I preached at my church back in 2018. I go into great detail explaining all of it point by point about Mystery Babylon and America:

The issue with what you are saying here is one big problem as one who confesses to being a prophet. You did not say it, so your message will be seen as pieces cut out from other people but not God entirely.

You ready the job of a "Prophet' is to warn of coming Judgment, and the judgment will not happen IF YOU repent!.

YOU ARE JUST STUCK IN AMERICA, BEING BABYLON. The Problem is that Europe and Asia are more in line to be that than America because if America falls, it will not be what Revelation says the nation, which is known as Great Babylon, will do. If America falls, and it very well might if we don't repent, I agree with you; however, how can they be what you are saying?

This Whore of Babylon is also a false religion. And a nation with many crowns and peoples. America is not a crown. America has no King, but Europe does. Also, The Church is not subject to this judgment. America can repent. But if Kamala Harris wins, America will be gone, and there will be no POTUS after her. Yet Isreal will still deal with whoever is the Whore of Babylon.
