YOU HAVE GOT TO KNOW TRUTH YOURSELF. IT IS TRUTH THAT SETS US FREE. More on the last night shocker..
Discernment is a manifestation of holy spirit. It is at once spiritual, and it is also based on a comprehension of the Scriptures. According - as one of the 3-fold missions of the holy spirit that Jesus left his Church - the holy spirit’s job is to: “'Bring all things to remembrance, whatsoever I have said to you’.
A CRITICAL manifestation then!
Whenever we listen to someone speak, we need to kick that enablement into action and ask ourselves… IS THIS what JESUS taught?
Because the message I was writing about last night, on a Chuck Baldwin sermon, was a shocker.
He didn’t just deny the arrival of the man of sin, Baldwin totally rejects the idea of POWER IN THE CHURCH TODAY! He claims it ended with the Apostles.
THAT would be a huge suprise to the men, women and ministries that have been walking in power for 2,000 years. That would shock the T.L Osbornes of the world, the Thurmond Scrivners, the Daniel Olukoya’s, this writer and tens of thousands of others, who operate the power of the holy spirit on a daily basis!
That would also surprise the Lord who brought power to earth, and LEFT it with His Church to operate as they wish. (Luke 10:19 and many many more references)
Baldwin’s sermon was so far removed from truth, I was flabergasted, because it was from a man who I have heard preach truth! In the video, you can hear people in the audience cheering and you’re left to wonder.. do Christians really read the Bible? Or do they only ‘listen to preachers’, and glean their theology from that.
My Bible says the ONLY way to build yourself up spiritually is to STUDY the BOOK yourself., and by speaking ‘by the spirit of God’, that is, ‘in tongues’.
Last night, I talked about these 2 videos sent to be by a friend. The irony is that I have admired both speakers! Save for what I think was this terrible message (more to come on the details), I like Chuck Baldwin. I have admired his courage to call out Israel, as being in opposition to God and Christianity. (In this video, he goes into detail about how they are waiting for ‘antichrist’.)
This is what is admitted to. The God of this ‘Israel’, that was not ‘gathered yet’ by God, (that gathering is yet future) but by the luciferians in Britain (have you seen prince Charles’ red portrait?) - is lucifer - and their messiah will be antichrist.
So -why on earth his the Church supporting Israel and the spirit of the pharisees that Jesus called out in John 8:44? Good question!
Interestingly in his epistle, John gave the definition of ‘antichrists’ (plural) as those people who deny that Jesus is the Christ. HELLO! THAT IS A DEFINITION OF ISRAEL!
In the second video HERE, minister Cheryl Scrivner actually commends a farmer that she knows- for his intention to ‘provide the ‘Red Heiffer’ for the sacrifice at the Temple in Jerusalem’ that will bring J
esus back.. BIBLE VERSE FOR THAT PLEASE!? (Red Calf points are at minute 41 - 43)
Cheryl is the widow of Thurmond Scrivner, someone who’s messages I listened to for years. She is someone I have admired, and visited with as recently as November of 2022. It was Cheryl Scrivner that spoke the words of truth to me in September 2015, when I stood in front of her and Thurmond with severe lower back pain, that had plagued me the whole year, and Cheryl said - ‘You’re worried about money’. I said ‘You’re right!’.
I REPENTED,.. they prayed for me, the pain left instantly and has never come back. Because I NEVER worry about money anymore - and it just ‘comes in as I need it!’.
Over the years I brought many people to their ministry. Since Thurmond passed away, though, it seems we’re hearing his widow’s beliefs, which may be different than her husband’s were. I didn’t mention her name last night, because Cheryl is a ‘friend’. Which reminds me of a powerful statement that the man, who taught me the Bible in the 1970s, used to say - (He is the teacher of the class I am about to conduct)..
‘WHEN IT COMES TO TRUTH - I HAVE NO FRIENDS’.
Dr. Victor Paul Weirwille.
What he meant is that, you can have all the friends in the world, but don’t ever let a ‘friend’ lead you away from truth.
Don’t be as the Children of Israel, when Moses no sooner left, then they set to following a heretic (Moses’ own brother Aaron, and building a golden calf to worship, instead of God. History has a way of repeating itself..
Still I think the shocker then and now, is how EASY it is to throw ‘the people’ (the multitudes) off track. They are those who - DO NOT ask at HIS MOUTH. They believed in a pandemic, they took the shots, they wore the masks. THIS is the WIDE GATE FOLKS.. What road are YOU ON? (Get baptized in the holy spirit ASAP! and start walking and talking with HIM)
Friend, I have listened over the years to MANY WONDERFUL men and women of God that the Lord himself led me to, including this magnificent 7:
Bob Phillips - I was in my car in Virginia in 1994, leaving to go to the military post where I was serving in those days, and the Lord told me to ‘turn on the radio’. SO I did, and there was a voice preaching Scripture in a way that led me to follow and support his ministry for many years - that was the inimitable Bob Phillips!
RC Sproul - I was at a soccer game waiting in the car while my son played, and turned on the radio. I heard a man sharing a sermon that rocked me, for its simplicity and truth. I began to support Legonier Ministries and hear many of their messages.
Kay Arthur - An unsung hero of Biblical research, Kay’s school ‘Precept Ministries’, stands out as a purveyor of truth as few in the Church of God.
David Wilkerson - One of the greatest preacher/evangelists of the 20th century. He was a prophet to the United States, though his warnings are only being taken seriously now that they’re coming to pass.
Carter Conlon - In 2009 I took a high school group from my son’s parochial school in Virginia, to New York City for an art ‘field trip’. (I was the teacher of the schools’ Art Club). On the drive north, I asked the Lord ‘ Where should I take us to church on Sunday? Jesus shot back - “Take them to TIMES SQUARE CHURCH!’ We went, and I heard Carter Conlon preach for the first time. It was wonderful! (He taught on the ‘Tails of the Little Foxes’.)
Derek Prince - I sat and heard him preach a 2 hour sermon one night last year in my kitchen, as led by the Lord, after which I stood up from the table delivered from a 7 day return episode of the covid/divoc demon. His preaching of the Word totally delivered me!
NORVEL HAYES! I nearly forgot to add this remarkable, faithful, deliverance minister who’s primary teaching platform, besides deliverance, was WORSHIP! They broke the mold when they made Norvel. He finished his course faithfully!
So here now, are TWO people that I have enjoyed listening to in the past, who are preaching extrabiblical messages.
HOW IMPORTANT IS IT TO KNOW YOUR BIBLE?
How important is it, to be a diligent student of truth, walking at all times by the Revealed Word of God and the holy spirit, to never be deceived even by the well intentioned, by those who we have trusted in the past. ESPECIALLY by them.
David Wilkerson and Derek Prince have always been 2 of my favs.. I love David Wilkersons teaching on things born out of anguish..
I agree we have to know scripture and take everything to the Lord in prayer!
I say this Victoria and yet I am compelled to be completely honest that I still have not read my Bible cover to cover and I have been a Christian my whole life. I have researched and read the Bible but still not cover to cover. This probably needs to be a goal! 😊
