YES, GOD STILL SPEAKS THROUGH REVELATION

For those who feel strongly about basing everything on the written Word, what role does “revelation” have in forming our beliefs and practices? Isn’t recorded Scripture enough to determine sound doctrine? How do we receive and understand revelation given by the Holy Spirit? If we have the Word, why do we need further revelation? Let me share the evidence I found that not only proves the power of revelation, but the necessity of it if we are to fulfill our commission…

SACRED COWS AND STRANGE FIRE

The knife that is cutting through His house is no respecter of persons. God does not set aside our favorites. He does not overlook compromise or spiritual corruption to salvage men’s reputations. Nor will allow His anointing to be weaponized by those who only seek the glory for themselves. He is a holy God and NO ONE can touch His glory. No one is above His discipline or correction. And because of the buildup of dung in His pantry, the stench can no longer be tolerated. No prophet or apostle, teacher or pastor, or any other leader in God’s house will escape His cleansing wrath.

THE WEIGHT OF PERFECT LOVE

I had an unexpected dream the other night that called my attention to the depth of the Father’s love when dealing with sin in His people… When I woke up, I was struck by my reaction in the dream. Knowing the doctrinal errors and spiritual deception this young woman has been operating in, I was surprised at what the Lord was revealing…

A New Wineskin for a CHARISMATIC REFORMATION

This reform is not rejection of the Charismatic emphasis on the Holy Spirit, but a refinement—where power is submitted to purity, and gifting is governed by godliness. The Church is being invited into a season of divine pruning so it may bear lasting fruit (John 15:2). The question is not just whether we want revival, but whether we are willing to become vessels that can carry it well.

AN APPEAL TO THE TEACHERS AND PROPHETS

As much as prophets need to carefully examine their encounters and revelations with scriptural integrity, teachers must view their doctrines through eyes of faith and a personal belief in the supernatural. And as much as the prophetic movement needs to evaluate some of its faith practices and messaging that have gotten off track, so must those who teach be willing to go where their understanding can’t reach and their arguments don’t work. Yes, we need to be grounded in the Word. But without faith in things unseen, we will only be bound to rules that carry no power.

FEAR OF GOD or FEAR OF MAN?

If we truly believe in these virtues and walk in the fear of God, there is no debate. There should be no second-guessing as to what God desires or even expects of those He calls and anoints. If any leader or minister does not abide by the simple standards already set forth in God’s Word concerning a life of purity, holiness, and honor before the Lord, they are not only defrauding God’s people, but defaming God’s Name. They have become blinded by their own ego and are now leading others into a pit.

PREVIOUS STUDENTS REVEAL NEEDED REFORMS IN THE CHARISMATIC WORLD

Several of the larger Charismatic ministries in the news recently have schools attached to them. I recently met with a group of millennials who attended some of these ministry schools from 2010 to 2020. And though many past students are reporting negative experiences of compromised leadership and abuse, the millennials I spoke with are all now established within a local church and thriving in their gifts. None of them were aware of the problems that are now coming into the light. But I wanted to know their thoughts. How were they processing these exposures? What did they learn at these schools, and how did their experiences, either positive or negative, shape their current faith? What changes would they suggest for moving forward?

NO, WE CANNOT BE SILENT

What would Matthew 23 sound like today? How would Jesus address some of the religious leaders of today who have preoccupied themselves with appearances and earthly reputation – even worse – violated the innocent and desecrated His House?
