On the Recent “Prophetic Words” Coming Out..

1.) They represent God as an angry person who only has one response to sin and the problems of the world and that is to kill everybody.

2.) They assume that disaster leads to repentance and revival.

3.) Life and death are in the power of the tongue: prophesying disaster brings them on.

4.) They ignore the fact that we are salt and light in this earth whose responsibility is to bring change and transform our environments for the better.

5.) They agree with the accuser whose ministry is to steal, kill and destroy.  When you create judgmental words that steal, kill, and destroy, you come into agreement with the wrong spirit (John 10:10).

6.) They work against the principles instituted by God for the restoration of ruined cities (Isaiah 61).  Why are people judging the cities we are supposed to restore?

7.) The world already sees us as the bringer of the Law and not the Lover of the world and they already think that [the church] loves “the rules” more than we love them.

8.) False prophets promote words that instill fear.  Fear is not from God.  Perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18).

1.) I will not embrace an end-times worldview that re-empowers a disempowered devil (Col. 2:15).

2.) I will not accept an end-times view that takes away my children’s future and creates mindsets that undermine the mentality of leaving a legacy.  (Jer 29:11)

3.) I will not tolerate any theology that sabotages the clear commands of Jesus to make disciples of all nations and the Lord’s prayer that the earth would be like heaven.

4.) I will not allow any interpretation of Scripture that destroys hope for the nations and undermines our clear command to restore ruined cities.

5.) I will not embrace an eschatology that changes the nature of a good God.

6.) I refuse to embrace any mindset that celebrates bad news as a “sign of the times” and a necessary requirement for the return of Jesus.

7.) I am opposed to any doctrinal position that pushes the promises of God into a timezone that can’t be obtained in my generation and therefore takes away any responsibility that I have to believe God for them in my lifetime

8.) I do not believe that “the last days” are a time of judgment, nor do I believe that God gave the church the right to call for wrath for sinful cities.  Therefore, there is a Day of Judgment in which God will judge the world…not us.
