James 3:1NOT MANY [of you] should become teachers ([a]self-constituted censors and reprovers of others), my brethren, for you know that we [teachers] will be judged by a higher standard and with greater severity [than other people; thus we assume the greater accountability and the more condemnation].
I see many people attempting to teach what they have been taught by men and religion. I see many people attempting to teach using their own strength and passion. Some use bold letters to get the attention of others. Some use other methods to get the attention of others. I have learned one thing from God. I do not need to market myself. I just need to speak His Truth and He will gather His sheep toward His Word. His sheep know His Voice. After all, we should not be looking for Glory for it belongs to HIM and HIM alone.
Many people can easily create a following using hate, anger, bitterness, ungodly fear and resentment. It is like the mob mentality. It is easy to create a following giving people a false hope. For example, it is easy for a person to rally a lot of people to agree with them in bashing our presidents, high profile preachers, doctrine, or policy. The problem is that when many bash, they bash thinking they are rebuking and correcting. However, authority had not been granted to them to rebuke, teach, or correct. How do we know they were not given authority? Where is their fruit? Where is their anointing? Where is the spiritual meat to edify the Body of Christ. Yes, sometimes the spiritual meat may make your stomach bitter but Truth is still Truth and one must make the choice to digest it or vomit it out.
Many use the shortcomings of others to especially rally a mob. I see so many rally against the president of the United States when scripture tells us to pray and respect them. Did Paul not say honor the king? This king was not only persecuting them. This Caesar was killing and crucifying them. Yet, our president doesn't kill us yet many Christians spiritually kill the president with their words. They are unknowingly prophecy him to failure. Many Christians speak as though our president is going to crucify them. Many should check their hearts. They hate him so much, they want him to be the Anti Christ. They are trying to force Obama to step into the shoe of the Antichrist. Wasn't Bush the Anti Christ for awhile for many? It is not within your right or authority to speak against God's governing authority.
If our government persecutes us, will Christians take up arms and rebel like they are in the middle east? Are guns and killing more powerful than prayer? When God judged His people during Jeremiah's time, God told His people to surrender to the enemy. But they instead decided to fight hearing from false prophets and at the end their judgment became more harsh because they rebelled against God's word and His authority. God raised the Babylonians to judged His people. Then He judged the Babylonians for judging His people. God is God.
1 Peter 2:17 (AMP) Show respect for all men [treat them honorably]. Love the brotherhood (the Christian fraternity of which Christ is the Head). Reverence God. Honor the emperor.
Matthew 24:11-13 (AMP) And many false prophets will rise up and deceive and lead many into error.12And the love of [a]the great body of people will grow cold because of the multiplied lawlessness and iniquity,13But he who endures to the end will be saved.
Romans 13:1LET EVERY person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God's appointment. 2Therefore he who resists and sets himself up against the authorities resists what God has appointed and arranged [in divine order]. And those who resist will bring down judgment upon themselves [receiving the penalty due them].
Many who attempt to teach on the internet are still sucking on milk. They are full of worldly idols profaning His Holy Day (Sunday) breaking many of His commandments. They have not been given authority to teach. It is very sad because many who are on milk that looks for Truth are led astray as false and compromised information is so abundantly out there. I used to be one where I had searched the internet several years ago looking for Truth. There is so much disinformation it can be confusing. But I did not just accept it all. I observed and read. Then I waited. I obeyed God, keeping His commandments, keeping His 4th commandment (Sundays), I repented for not tithing properly, and I began to separate myself from the world such as not watching TV anymore. After that, His anointing and Fire were downloaded on to us.
Many of you do not realize it is the 4th commandment (Sundays) and tithing that are keeping you from further spiritual breakthrough. How do you think I have received what I have received? Do you think I have gone to bible school? I did not even finish college. My wife did not finish college. I was a businessmen and my wife was and still is a house wife. Do you think I have been preaching and teaching like this for many many years? No, we have only really started 3 1/2 years ago. Before that, I was a religious fundamental once saved always saved depressed angry at life Christian. But out of our weakness, God's power is made perfect. I only say this to Glorify God and not us. I will boast of our weaknesses and where we had come from so that God will receive the Glory.
All that we know we have received through obedience and faithfulness to Him. This is available to ALL OF YOU!! But you must make a choice not to fear men anymore. You must fly high as the eagle. God said fly high with Me! Eagles fly basically alone. The wind is the Holy Spirit that will help you soar. You must make a choice to fully surrender and fully commit knowing there will be a price to follow Jesus. The price is your life and way of life.
Isaiah 6:8 (AMP) Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for Us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Only a few years ago, I told the Lord, "Yes, send I. I will go Lord. Whatever the cost!! I will go!" The rest is history. We are to be still and wait for He is working for us behind the scenes. I do not need to solicit anything to get ahead of God. I just need to obey, pray, and rest in HIM. He will provide all for the work He has ordained for us. He will reward those who diligently seek HIM. But I have learned one thing out of this, it does require time for us to grow and crucify our flesh. There are too many out there with their titles but no schooling from the Lord already teaching when they have no business trying to make a name for themselves. All they are doing is putting out cliches. Please do not store up wrath for yourselves. Go when He says go. Stop when He says stop. Do when He says do. Empty yourselves and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Do not run this race full of yourselves.
When you wait for Him, you will be put through the terrible furnace of FIRE. It will be painful. It will be excruciating in fact. But it is in this FIRE where revelation, wisdom, and discernment are birthed. With those gifts and spiritual weapons, we can now go feed spiritual meat to the Body of Christ so they can grow into spiritual maturity.
1 John 2:5 "But he who keeps (treasures) His Word [who bears in mind His precepts, who observes His message in its entirety], truly in him has the love of and for God been perfected (completed, reached maturity). By this we may perceive (know, recognize, and be sure) that we are in Him"
Colossians 1:28 (AMP) Him we preach and proclaim, warning and admonishing everyone and instructing everyone in all wisdom ([a]comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God), that we may present every person mature (full-grown, fully initiated, complete, and perfect) in Christ (the Anointed One).
So how do we know if someone has the mark of authority to know they are allowed to teach and preach? How can we discern between the passion of the flesh and true spiritual meat? The mark of authority is in the anointing of a person or message. The anointing of the person is expressed in the words of preaching, proclamation, warning, admonishing, and wisdom to the Body of Christ for their growth. The HIGHER THE ANOINTING THE HIGHER THE AUTHORITY. How do I know this? God told us during prayer.
It is very sad even though many recognize the anointing on certain people, they would openly come against God's servants out of their selfish anger, jealousy and false hope. This is not a small thing. I post this as a stern warning out of love. God opened the ground before during Korah's rebellion and the disobedient people went to Sheol alive. then the angel of death came to kill 14,000 of God's own people and the angel stopped only as Moses and Aaron interceded. Please remember, Korah's clan basically said that they heard from God too. They were God's people who went to Sheol alive!! Do not think God is not capable of doing this again? Learn to check our hearts brethren. Know we can all fall if we let our flesh get in the way.
My wife and I have warned the Body of Christ on Facebook of certain false prophets. But many came against us. Do not think we did this out of our flesh. We received this Word from the Lord and it was confirmed. It would have been better for them to pray and seek the Lord instead of reacting so quickly in their flesh. Please repent and return to His Truth. We are so sad the way this has turned out.

Jeremiah 14:13-16 (AMP)Then said I, Alas, Lord God! Behold, the [false] prophets say to them, You will not see the sword, nor will you have famine; but I [the Lord] will give you assured peace (peace that lasts, the peace of truth) in this place.14Then the Lord said to me, The [false] prophets prophesy lies in My name. I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, nor have I spoken to them. They prophesy to you a false or pretended vision, a worthless divination [conjuring or practicing magic, trying to call forth the responses supposed to be given by idols], and the deceit of their own minds.15Therefore thus says the Lord concerning the [false] prophets who prophesy in My name--although I did not send them--and who say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land: By sword and famine shall those prophets be consumed.16And the people to whom they prophesy shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, victims of famine and sword; and they shall have none to bury them--them, their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out their wickedness upon them [and not on their false teachers only, for the people could not have been deceived except by their own consent].
May the Lord have mercy on all of us for the coming days. Judgment is coming. As Grace is allowed to go its full extent so will judgment. God allowed this situation to occur to clarify what is in men's heart. Mercy on your people Lord!
God bless you brethren.
