Shut the Hell Up!
“Hope differed maketh the heart sick”. I think just short of torture hope differed is right up there with them. I think it is its own form of torture. Let me tell you what has worn me out - carrying the thousands of prophecies around that have not come true and WILL NOT. And I still get countless letters about this making the excuse that it is contingent. I am worn out from having heard Oral Roberts say they were going to find the cure for cancer. I heard the proclamations of the visions given that Pat Roberson was going to be president. I heard the proclamations Benny Hinn made to people that they were healed only to die a couple months later. It’s pretty true that every prophetic source I have known has made proclamations that have not come true… oh, but that’s ok… we have an excuse. I talk till I’m blue in the face and these prophetic sources will not take responsibility what so ever. I find myself becoming ashamed that I have had any association with them at all. I see the people hurt by these prophecies, but it seems they do not care at all… after all, it is contingent. I have seen more than one mother be told her baby was going to be ok only to see the baby die a few weeks later. Then what? It was the mothers’ fault because the prophecy was “contingent”. God is not committed to fulfilling His word – it is up to us to make these things come true. That is, the one to whom the prophecy is given is responsible… never the one giving the prophecy.
I can hardly believe the blindness I see in the prophetic arena and can only conclude that such a blindness is supernatural and that if supernatural only the enemy of our souls could be the source. I am pushed to the temptation of cursing the prophetic arena for so belligerently defending themselves. I feel like the apostle who had to give over some to the enemy for destruction that their souls may be saved. Prophecies come out that “This is the year I am going to pour out my power and my glory upon you”. (of course a prophecy I have been hearing for 35 years now – year after year after year), but then I open the prophecies for the same year and there are a whole bunch of other ones saying, “This is the year of trials for you and the fires of purifications”. One says, “This is the year I am bringing you into the fires”. And the other one says, “This is the year I am bringing you out of the fires”. And one wonders why I get an attitude about prophecies. Have I made these mistakes myself? You bet I have, and I have repented of them and seek with all my heart NOT to repeat them. But, of course, if the whole matter is “contingent” there is nothing to repent of. The prophetic business can go on as usual. We may prophecy to our hearts desire because all that does not come true is because someone else missed the mark – not us.
The prophetic has become so polluted with confusion it has become of no benefit to the Body of Christ. And who is the author of confusion? Satan! But I consistently hear every day people writing me saying there is NO problem. That is to say… NO problem with the person who gives the prophecy. Like any addiction the problem is not going to be resolved until we get through the whole process of denial. Do we keep denying there is a problem? If so, then everything will continue as it is. The alcoholic says, “I don’t have a problem”. It seems most of the prophetic arena says now, “We don’t have a problem”. Or worse yet – they can hide behind this crap about “Don’t touch the anointed”. I agree we should not touch the anointed, but who are these that are anointed by the spirits of deceptions and the flesh? ! Am I on a tear today? Yeah, I guess so, but why is not the whole Body of Christ feeling the same way? Should we accept that confusion and deception is a valid media for edification? Should I say that I am a prophet? Sure, but what good is that since the appetite is not to hear the word of the Lord, but rather to hear the next ear tickling message that gets thrown out there. What do I see as I look in the spirit? I see the prophetic arena engaged in a massive competition vying for the attention of the readers who will read their words. I stand back and look at this and want to scream “Shut the hell up”. “Ahah!”... They say, “He is cursing now!” NO! I really want them to shut the hell up! Such deceptions and confusions are NOT words from the Father… they are words from HELL and I want them to shut the HELL up!
I do not desire to stone anyone or hurt anyone, but I am asking that many take a hard look at what is going on and drag themselves out of the denial they are in. Does this have to do with “Touch not my anointed?” No! Not really! To touch the anointed implies hurting or with intent to hurt. And how are they “hurt” by someone wishing to point out the truth concerning error. Shall they have another excuse to hide behind as well? Yes, they do! They already hide behind the shield that all prophecy is contingent and then they also have the shield that no one should speak against them because that is to “Touch the Anointed”. Again I ask – WHAT IS ANOINTED ABOUT LYING IN THE SPIRIT!? What is anointed about telling a mother her baby is going to live only to have it die a few weeks later. And what credibility do we bring the prophetic by these actions? And what honor do we bring God. If I WERE a prophet should I be prophesying right now or should I be writing this article. I will say that by what I write here I am a prophet more than the thousands out there who say they are a prophet because they “prophecy”. I agree… prophesying falsely still makes you a prophet albeit a false one, but never the less accepted because they DO have the protective covering of contingency and “touch me not.” And here is some more irony for you. My attitude here is just so NOT loving or Christian right? Yet it is quite consistent and a definitive characteristic of a true prophet that he is enraged by deception, confusion and all that is not the nature of God going on. “Touch Not The Anointed”? – YES! I agree with this, but let me say that that means “THE ANOINTED ONE” the CHRIST. If we prophecy deception and delusion and lies in HIS NAME then we have “Touched the Anointed One” with our evil, and make no mistake about it, it IS evil and it IS NOT the Holy Spirit that is engaged in such deceptions and confusions. Dear Lord – I desire they shut the Hell up – myself included!
