End my posts?

 Hello Friends. I am seriously thinking about ending my posts here. I have been praying about it for some months now and I believe it is something that I should do as it seems like ever since my husband passed last fall, I am not able to do what I need to do to continue. I will let you know soon but if you want to comment on this decision please do so. Please be praying for me that I will do the will of God. Thank you.

What Are They Doing????



 If you read my last post about people that claim to be prophets, that it was about Kennth Copeland claiming to get rid o Covid-19 was crazy enough. However, the post today about him is probably the craziest, and the most damnable thing I have seen him do so far. Not to mention what the title of this video is entitled. Its downright creepy.

And yet, considering that in most of his videos he claims to be a little god and I Am which is another name for God in the Old Testament, I guess its expected to see some of the stuff he has and is doing.

But I am going to let it speak for itself. You can find it on Youtube under:  


On some of these different videos supposedly showing "preachers" that are prophesying, I hear every so often, the narrators say, "You can't make this stuff up." 

Well, I disagree. Because someone certainly is. It sure isn't coming from God. And I would take a wild guess and say that all this is evil and coming from non-human sources. And those people are sure letting themselves look very ridiculous in trying to do something that God has not called them to do. And for what?

Oh yes, Money. If you look into the lives of these so-called teachers and prophets, you will find they live very lavish lifestyles. All because people fall for their stupidity and send them their hard-earned money.  

And the likes of Kennth Copeland and Jesse Duplantis don't try to hide the fact that they are rich. They actually brag about it. It makes me wonder why people follow them knowing all this and yet they do. But then looking at the following scripture, we find the answer to the why of it.

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2 Timothy 4:3-4

Friends, if you are following Ken Copeland or Jesse Duplantis, I urge you to check out some of the insane videos of them on YouTube and do not send any money to them. They are dangerous people that will lead you right into hell because that is why they are heading unless they repent of their sin and make Jesus the Lord of their lives. 

I would add another person to this page of some one that I trust that also is on YouTube. His name is Justin Peters and he is an apologist. He can give you a lot of information that proves by scripture why these people cannot be trusted. Please check him out.

Thanks for coming by. May God bless you

Teachers/Modern Day Prophets: What Do They Teach Really?

 

If you have heard of these people but never followed them, you may be in for the shock of your life. In my 70 plus years of being on this earth and much of it being in the church and studying the Bible on my own as well, I was very shocked at some of this so-called God's Word for us. I knew there were false prophets, but never did a study into too much of them. 

But how I got into researching them was because I simply started out looking on YouTube for information about Amish people and just interested in their lives and what they believe.

That led me right into videos on these people that declare that they are speaking for God today and instead are pulling millions of people away from the true gospel of Jesus Christ. I couldn't pass up what they had to say. I have learned a lot. And it's sad and even appalling the stuff that has come out about them and as I viewed each one, it seemed the next one was crazier than the one before.

As I stated a few days ago, I am going to start with Kennth Copeland who claimed that he could cause death to Covid. A quote from Ken Copeland Fails to Save the U.S. From Covid -19 was given 3 years ago on Youtube.com by Fighting For the Faith, said this: "If you have been seeing this stuff that Kennth Copeland has been saying or even if you haven't, heard of it, this is taking cooko banana town and dumpster fires to a whole other level. Actually, its quite frightening."

Sadly, I agree. And if you go to watch the video for yourself, you will find that he also says that its actually embarrassing and if you look at his eyes, it is actually inhuman. I would add creepy to that although he might have said that as well.

I couldn't agree more. 

In that clip, it shows Copeland trying to blow covid-19 gone and even states that at 12:00 noon on March 29th he declared it to be over. And he claimed him to be in the office of God to executed judgment against it. He tries to appear that he is actually hearing from God in many of these clips. What I want to know is what God. Because they certainly they aren't from the God that created the world and everything in it. 

However, I can take at wild guess, at who he is talking to and probably be right.

I have to tell you friends, if you are interested in seeing this video please do because it will give you so more information about it than I can do in this blog. The title of this message is: Judgment is executed on Covid-19.

All I can say is the ordasity of this guy to do what he has done for years and continues to do has made him very rich which is another whole story in itself that he uses to explain that he has gotten rich through people like you and I that  aren't rich, and maybe even have had times where we barely get by, and  yet we listen to his craziness thinking and hoping that we will get rich too because he has told them to send in their money. And of course, God wants that for us too. 

He teaches the prosperity message and try's to add in some Bible but does a very poor job because for one thing, he is a false prophet but also because the Bible and God are just a tool he uses to get people to send him money. In one video clip I saw him say about covid, something about, a lot of people being out of work, and he turns to the camera and says, "Don't you stop giving to church, don't you stop." as he points his finger at the camera as well.

He doesn't care that covid was taking people out of their lively hood. Because he didn't want people to stop sending him money. That was his concern. And he readily brags about being rich. 

Friends he has I believe, four jet liners to travel in so that he doesn't have to fly commercial and be shut up in a tube of demons. Yep, that statement clip is something he said as well. He told a reporter that. I guess the rest of non-rich people have to go TWA or something and endure being in a tube of demons until we get rich too. 

In this video, Chris Rosebrough also shows a clip about how Kennth Copeland agreed with Paul Crouch (sorry, I am not sure of the spelling of his last name) talked about how we are "Little Gods." Oh, you don't want to miss that one. We can speak things into existence and do whatever God can do because we are made in His image. Please note that Paul Crouch has passed away.

Now we know that Copeland did not heal the world from Covid, (thus saith the Lord), but he did then (to an empty church that had to stay home because of it) said that it was going to get so hot in NY City that it was going to burn the virus right up at either 85 or 90 degrees to however it has to get to kill that thing. Right now, he said.

Well believe me this isn't the end of this clip. Nor is it the end of many other seemingly unbelievable things he's done to discredit the name of God, but I am going to leave you with just this and encourage you to go to this video to view the rest. 

But there is plenty more about him to come. Believe me. And as I said before please feel free to check me out about what I have been saying in these blogs by going to YouTube and listening to them for yourselves. If you are like me, it will be a great eye-opening experience. And not a good one. But we are warned of these kinds of people in the Bible and we need to know them for what they really do teach so that we are not caught up in their loonasy. 

On Saturday, May 27th, I hope to tell you about what happened as he took of the Lord's Supper one time. Let me tell you friends. talk about appalling, It made the time he blew the covid virus away (not) look like Sunday School picnic. 

I hope you have learned something about this man made god, and warn people not to follow him, if you know anyone that is. 

Thanks for coming by today and may God (our real God) richly bless you no matter how rich or poor you may be.

False Prophets and Sheep



Matthew 7:15 - Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.


So then just what is a false prophet or teacher? And what does the Bible say about them? Read on:


A false prophet is a person who spreads false teachings or messages while claiming to speak the Word of God. In the Bible, false prophets also spoke on behalf of false gods. False prophets functioned in their prophetic role illegitimately or for the purpose of deception. The Bible denounces false prophets for leading people astray.

In the Old Testament, the actual term false prophet does not occur, but references to false prophets are evident and abundant. In the book of Jeremiah, we encounter a clear description of false prophets: “Then the LORD said to me, ‘The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds’” (Jeremiah 14:14; see also 23:21–33; Zechariah 10:2).

The primary difference between men like Jeremiah—a true prophet of God—and false prophets was their source of information. Rather than speak the Word of the Lord, false prophets delivered messages that originated in their own hearts and minds: “This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘Do not listen to what the prophets are prophesying to you; they fill you with false hopes. They speak visions from their own minds, not from the mouth of the LORD’” (Jeremiah 23:16; see also 14:14; 23:25–32; Ezekiel 13:1–7). God distances Himself from all false prophets: “I did not send these prophets, yet they have run with their message; I did not speak to them, yet they have prophesied” (Jeremiah 23:21).

Another difference between true prophets and false prophets in the Bible is motivation. True prophets are motivated by loyalty to God above all else, whereas false prophets are motivated by self-interest and a desire to be popular among the people (1 Kings 22:13–14). While Jeremiah foretold the grim truth of coming desolation upon Jerusalem (Jeremiah 4), the false prophets promised peace (Jeremiah 6:148:11). Naturally, the people of Judah preferred the pleasant messages of the false prophets: “Don’t tell us what is right. Tell us nice things. Tell us lies” (Isaiah 30:10, NLT).

Often false prophets were hired for payment or spoke their messages for financial gain: “Her leaders judge for a bribe, her priests teach for a price, and her prophets tell fortunes for money. Yet they look for the LORD’s support and say, ‘Is not the LORD among us? No disaster will come upon us’” (Micah 3:11; see also Nehemiah 6:12–13Jeremiah 6:13–14Ezekiel 13:192 Peter 2:1–3).

Israel could not always discern the difference between a true and false prophet. In 1 Kings 22, King Jehoshaphat of Judah sought counsel from the Lord before he and King Ahab of Israel embarked on their mission to retake the city of Ramoth in Gilead. Jehoshaphat heard the predictions of victory from Ahab’s 400 counselors but suspected that these men were false prophets who did not have the mind of the Lord. Jehoshaphat’s suspicions were correct: they were Ahab’s “yes men,” false prophets who had no concern for relating the true Word of God. They merely said what the king wanted to hear and collected their salary from the royal treasury.

Jehoshaphat asked if there was another prophet who could give a second opinion. Ahab called for the prophet Micaiah, albeit reluctantly: “I hate him,” Ahab complained, “because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad” (1 Kings 22:8). True to form, Micaiah prophesied that Ahab would be killed in the battle and Israel would be “scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd” (verse 17). Micaiah, whose words came to pass, proved to be the true prophet of God. None of the false prophets in Ahab’s court could keep the king alive.

The punishment specified for false prophets in the Old Testament was severe: “If any prophet dares to speak a message in My name that I have not commanded him to speak, or to speak in the name of other gods, that prophet must be put to death” (Deuteronomy 18:20).

In the New Testament, Jesus taught about false prophets in His Sermon on the Mount: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit” (Matthew 7:15–18).

Jesus went on to explain the grave consequences of being a false prophet: “Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them. Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’” (Matthew 7:19–23).

The Bible describes false prophets as adulterous (Jeremiah 23:14), treacherous (Zephaniah 3:4), drunkards (Isaiah 28:7), wicked (Jeremiah 23:11), liars (Jeremiah 14:1423:14), and associated with divination and witchcraft (Jeremiah 14:14Ezekiel 22:28Acts 13:6). Scripture teaches believers to be diligent in faith and devotion to Christ’s teachings so that they will be able to spot false prophets and false teachers quickly (2 Peter 1:101:19—2:11 John 4:1). Thankfully, the Bible outlines foolproof tests for recognizing a false prophet. The key is to know what a true prophet is like:

• A true prophet’s words will be fulfilled (Deuteronomy 18:21–22Jeremiah 28:8–9).
• A true prophet’s teachings are consistent with Scripture (2 Peter 1:20–21Revelation 22:18–19).
• A true prophet’s teachings will encourage righteous behavior and provide spiritual benefit (Deuteronomy 13:1–4Jeremiah 23:13–1432Ezekiel 13:17–2314:4–8Lamentations 2:14).
• A true prophet’s life will reflect a divine call (Isaiah 28:7Jeremiah 23:10–111429:9Zephaniah 3:4Matthew 7:15–20).
• A true prophet will acknowledge Jesus Christ as divine (1 John 4:1–6).

💗💗💗

I knew there were false prophets in the world but I had not done a study on them like I have this last few days. I had done one at some point last year or so, which I shared with you on this blog. But just recently, I read something on Youtube that prompted an renewed interest in me because people are saying that we are living in the end times. And the thing that stuck out to me is that many of these so-called prophets are infiltrating the Christian Churches. 

And friends, that is what is scary.

I did not realize there are (and were) so many until a few days ago. And as you see above I first wanted to let you know more about them and what the Bible has to say about them. So with that in mind, I won't start to profile them until Wednesday 5/24. There is so much info to share, and I want to give full attention to these people as being false. And as always, I will be giving you the links to where you can verify this info, should you want to d that. 

Or you can simply go to Youtube.com and study them for yourselves.

At any rate, thanks for coming by today and may God bless you richly.

False Prophets







 
If we have paid attention to what's been going on these days, we can probably agree that we are living in some crazy days.  In fact, many people believe we are living in the last days before Jesus comes back for His church. 

While I believe whole heartedly that we are sure heading in that direction, I am not sure that we are quite there yet. In my opinion for whatever it's not worth, I think things in this world have to get much much worse than they are right now. I myself have heard for better than the past 40 years or so, that we are living in the last days. Not to mention even in Jesus' day, they thought back then they were at that point. 

That may not be so great though. Thinking that we are not quite there yet so far living in the end times, that is.. And so that's why Jesus said that when we see these things happening, to look up for our redemption is close. Luke 28:21

And that is why when my husband passed away unexpectedly last year, I told my son, "Thats why we need to be ready for when Jesus calls us home." Because we never know when that time will come and if we haven't accepted Him, it may be too late.

Jesus warned his disciples about the false prophets that would come to deceive us. They would come as if dressed in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they would be raveningly wolves. Mathew 7:15.

In the 20th verse of that chapter, Jesus said this: "By their fruits you will know them." 

How will we know them, if we don't check them out? Because even though I have heard of different ones, I did not know just how many wolves are out there waiting to devour us, until I actually started to check them out. I was surprised to find that even two or three of the people that I thought were God fearing people that cared about people, and wanted to share the gospel of Jesus, were actually in that list of false teachers, and false prophets. 

My research had brought me some real surprises of who is out there (in just false prophets/teachers) willing and ready to pounce on as many people as they can to take advantage of all that they can get to. And it was amazing to me that all those people that follows them do so believing such craziness that comes out of their teachings. 

These so-called prophets go back to the 1800s and maybe even farther than that. But because I am living in this day and age, I am going with those that are of this day and age for the most part. Those that perhaps you have heard of, or maybe even have followed.

Consider the following passage of the Bible.

I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. 18 For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people. Romans 16:17-18

I was going to start with Kennth Copeland and as you know other things had come up before I could do so. So now I plan to again start with him. 

That will be on Monday May 22nd. So I apologize for the delay and hope you will come back to find out about this man that believes that he is a prophet and has become very rich off of the likes of people that sometimes thinks that by supporting his ministry, they get their prayers answered. And many of these people give him what little money they have. He does not discriminate from old or young. Rich or poor. If you want your prayers answered, no matter what they are, you can get them answered by giving him money. Which is out and out lying to those that truly want and need God to answer them.

And as I said before, he decided he could get rid of covid and there is a video on YouTube that actually showing how he did not stop covid. You should look it up. It is ridiculous to say the least. It is almost unbelievable if you don't actually see it.  On Monday, I will be back for more on this false teacher and just what else he preaches. 

Thanks for your patience and for coming by. God bless!
