  • Sometimes we (sadly) poke the bear to be mean. Sometimes we poke it to provoke. Other times the bear did a no-no and needs to be held accountable.
    So in this video, I'm daring to address the madness of all the false predictions about the 2020 election. I try to pick and choose my battles, and when I choose to ‘battle’, it needs to be in with the right intention. Paul reflects this in scripture that we need to be at peace with people as much as we can, except when it comes to the gospel and identity of Jesus. That’s worth fighting for. I’m not here to do what’s popular, I want to do what’s right. All this was done in the name of Jesus, and that’s really the heart of me speaking about this. This shames Jesus’ name. That’s worth speaking up about. That being said, I think this definitely needs to be firmly addressed.

    Video topic: Touching god's "anointed": false prophecies and the election

    To everyone who's saying that these 'prophets' were correct because Trump actually won the election, but it was 'stolen' from him, and those who are saying that even prophets in the Bible told false prophecies like Nathan and Jonah...:
    I'm going to be very unapologetically direct about this- Please stop and really examine what you're saying.
    This is exactly the type of mindset that I talk about in my video. This is a huge part of the problem and a huge factor in why I made this video.
    This isn't helping, nor is this a healthy mindset to be in. This sounds like a Jehovah's Witness boldly defending their beloved Governing Body members (even at the cost of misquoting Scripture to do it) even though the truth is staring them straight in the face. This is elevation of man. This is idolatry. This is exactly what I mean by people choosing to be deceived.
    So... to make your prophets right, you're resorting to calling Prophets in the Bible false ones? Really? Because there's no way 'God's anointed' could possibly be wrong? And this again is something else I talk about in my video about the unnecessary division I'm seeing. This mindset that's based on unfounded paranoia is majorly at fault for it. *This* is how these people continue to get away with these things. This is *exactly* how they're enabled to draw out these prophecies. These 'prophets' literally made millions of people believe that Trump would be re-elected *in 2020*... and that GOD said this. People are doing 'prophecy gymnastics' and changing the goalposts by making excuses for how these people were still correct about this. They draw it out as long as they can. Some are saying wait until 2024. Really? And when that doesn't come to pass what will the excuse be then? The pattern is obvious. It's a breeding ground for deception.
    So now that it didn't happen? Then it *must* be fraud.
    And also, on that note, for those saying that the prophecies weren't wrong and that Biden 'stole' the election...
    Okay, hypothetically, let's go there.
    You're now stuck with this: was God not able to see this? Was God not able to give *ONE* prophet the correct outcome of the election in detail? If this were true, was God not able to see that Biden would win by fraud?
    Don't you think that God would be able to confirm to His people who His prophets were by giving such a detailed prophecy?
    Could it be that God allowed such an outrageous unpredictable outcome to expose what the truth is about these people?
    Think about what you're resorting to. You're willing to turn God into a weak impotent god that knows nothing and satan has successfully stumbled Him. Not only that, you're willing to actually twist Scripture itself, to say that God had false prophets- who by the way were to be stoned if they told a false prophecy...
    All to defend these 'prophets.'
    This is idolatry.
    Time is the best tattletale. It told.
    Accept the outcome, learn from it, and let it go.
    There has been more focus on the elevation of politicians than there has about the Gospel and honoring the image and name of Jesus. If you're willing to resort to demoting God and Scripture to somehow 'force' these people to be right, then deception is your *choice.*

      Do you remember when Solomon said they can't sit still and say it without winking and waving around their hands. That's the teachings he's referring to. They always move around because they aren't in good soil. And after a trees roots become so strong the tree cannot be uprooted then it is crowned and matured. They have no anointing to prophecy because they have no. (In this order) they do not love, they lie, they haven't even learned, they don't know, they are blind, they are not in good soil, they have no anointing.

      "Touch not God's anointed", when some Believers say that for some Pastors, isn't that strange?
      Who are the "anointed"?
      Are not ALL Believers God's annointed?
      "...having believed, you were SEALED with the Holy Spirit of promise (Eph 1:13)".
      What more annointing is greater than this?

    I remember a minister in the little church I was dragged to when I was young. He was preaching one Sunday that the Lord was coming back soon, and not to worry about sending your kids to college if they weren't already there, earth time was coming to an end. That was 1970 and I was 17. The good news is my parents, as religious as they were, sent me to college anyway. because my Father had a fair amount of skepticism with fire and brimstone preachers. I'll be 68 next month. This guy could have ruined my life if my parents had done what he said. Be very careful with anyone that insists they've heard from God and you MUST do what they say.

      I’m a touch younger but in same era. Certainly told not to have children or get in debt. The Lord was coming back around the early 90’s. I own my own beautiful home with lovely children and grand children. What a lonely sad life I could have lived!

    • @snowwhitehair485
      @snowwhitehair485 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Same story. At age 18/19, (in around 1972), I attended a small Pentecostal church where 'prophecies' and 'interpretations' were regularly proclaiming that "The Lord was coming again VERY SOON". I could have stopped pursuing a career etc., put my feet up and just waited, confident that I would never reach old age. Instead, I changed to a much larger Pentecostal church where they had just started a very ambitious building project. This gave me a reality check. 49 years down the line and now a pensioner, (68 in early May), I am glad I did not let those people lead me astray and into an unfulfilling life and uncertain future. It grieves me now to see the false election prophets still arrogantly sticking to their message in the face of positive proof of their error and to see their followers still supporting them.

      @snowangelnc 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@anthonywillis7634 Ironically, I'm in a reverse situation, no beautiful home with lovely children. The reason is, ten years ago my fiancé got into the kind of church culture that you all are describing. At first I figured it would be fine, we still agreed on the basics so we could handle it if we disagreed on some points. Then he got deeper and deeper into the prophesies and the dreams and the visions. It started to concern me when I'd show him some of the things he was going along with directly contradicted the Bible and he'd brush it aside. I couldn't object to anything, couldn't even question it, because doing so would be arguing with God. It a big part of the reason we finally broke up. I dreaded the thought of our lives together, knowing that it would be built upon whatever was the latest sign or prophesy he'd been told to follow. Even then it wasn't an easy decision to end the engagement, because I wanted the home and the children and everything, and I knew what I was giving up. In the end though, I don't regret it because of the freedom I regained in exchange.

    When anyone says “God told me”......Run! I had a pastor who told me that he saw something bad happen to me and my wife because were leaving the church due to moving to another city. This was well over 20 years ago. People who are still stuck in that same church and city are astounded at God’s blessings on our lives. I basically dodged a cult!

      Yup! I had a pastor who arranged my marriage with my husband. He even married us in front of the assembly. Picked the date himself. Decided when we could have sex. He called himself a prophet. One day out of the blue he tells me in front of our church group that my 2'nd child I was carrying was not conceived in the will of God and that there was no place for it in His Kingdom. Of course everyone else in the church group just sits there in silence like brain dead bumps on a log. I'm a little nobody and always have been. You know "the least of these my brethren." It's easy for a bully to push his way to the top and use words to rend and tear. They only use certain Scriptures that they can wrest with cunning and adroit sleight of hand. Back then, I always waited for someone/anyone big and strong to speak up and no one ever did. Not in all these years did anyone EVER give a ☆☆☆☆ about me. Now I know I can speak to God through His Son Jesus Christ myself with importunity if I have to. So help me God, I will never trust a man again and I can see RIGHT THROUGH these charlatans and their feigned performances and their merchandising tricks. It makes me sick inside. I learned a valuable lesson through being chastened and scourged through this very grevious experience. My beautiful daughter is 18 this year and accepted Jesus as her Saviour years ago. She is a blessing and a joy to me. Doesn't anyone have righteous indignation when they see our Saviour being shamed by this circus they're putting on? There's a saying "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

    I’m a Norwegian woman, I have no family or connection to the US or anything like that. It is fascinating to see how Americans mix politics and religion, we don’t do that here. Whether it’s a Lutheran church or a Pentecostal church, the furthest we go is to pray something like “Lord, we pray for those in leadership position, both local and national. Give them wisdom to govern wisely. In Jesus’ name we pray”. Someone tried to convince me Trump was God’s anointed and began listing a bunch of “preachers” who had prophesied this, including Kenneth Copeland. I responded: “But Kenneth went viral with a video last Spring where he blew away corona, didn’t you see that?” I got the evil eye in return and she briskly walked away. I wonder if she's seen this video of him laughing, it is more creepy than any horror film I know of. (Also, you're right that no "prophet" warned us of Covid. I was in new age by new years 2019/2020, and every single "psychic" posted texts and pictures of "2020 will be THE year! Wrongs will be made right! Debts will be cancelled! Wounds will heal! Love will flourish! This is THE year!!" .... not a single one of these people who claimed to foresee the future warned us of Covid. No one in new age, not a single "prophet". I got out of new age during spring of 2020 (thanks to Doreen and Steven), and if I've learned one thing this past year, is this: humans can't be trusted. God can be trusted.)

      This is also largely the modus operandi of QAnon. "Watch the water!" or other weird nonsense that could be interpreted any number of ways, and yet even still the first known "Q" message was about how Hillary Clinton was being arrested in 2017, yet here we are and she is still staggering around the real world trading childish insults with Trump and whatnot. So of course they had to concoct a beautiful, unfalsifiable "body double/clone" excuse to explain that I guess. But anyway, bang on comment, Melissa mentioned the subjectivity, and Subjective Validation is the specific term for it. Nostradamus predicted something along the lines of a world leader would die, and people have marveled at his accuracy for centuries now because, for some reason, being a world leader does not grant you physical immortality. Strangest thing, that.

      Prophecy isn't predicting the future per se but warning of it. The prophets of old prophesied what the future was going to bring IF the people and leaders didn't change their ways (and they often didn't and then it came to pass).
      It wasn't usually a future prediction for the individual about the minutiae of their life problems and rarely ever positive things (as Melissa has said). No, in fact seeking the future doesn't show we have faith in God for our needs or trust him with those future things. In seeking future predictions we are treating God like a tarot card reader or some other future telling device/person. Sometimes we use the bible that way too when we demand answers.
      True prophets of today are sounding warnings of where we are globally heading, those reading the bible do or should already know this but the prophets of today speak to those who are not reading the bible, who are maybe not even Christians because that is the purpose of prophecy, to turn people back to God, to steer our societies away from evil. The prophets always were fringe, marginal, unpopular, ignored - it's still the case.

      Food for thought here. As concerning all the prophets that got it wrong concerning Trump's re-election. It has been at least 30 so far that got it wrong. Just maybe God brought this to light. To show us that what Jesus said that in the last days many false prophets would arise and lead many astray Matt. 24. .which is rebellion, and rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. I'm sure their were many that wanted Trump to get a second term. It didn't happen. In my opinion we were looking to the so called prophets of the Lord, and Trump to save the nation. Our eyes were focused on them and not God. The devil is very sneaky. Oh well this is my opinion. I'm open for rebuttal. God bless everyone

I went to work for a ministry. The ministry gave Jim a pickup and Jim fixed all the ministry computers, printers, and electronics for 5 years before he died! He had the name of his repair business on the side of his pickup and it wasn’t Tools for Jesus, but he fixed a lot of things for Jesus anyway! He also became a follower of Christ. I believe in true prophecy and God uses it to show His marvelous love and that He is working in our lives.

While I still believe that there is a kernel of truth in it, I've come to realize that it is dependent upon aligning our will to His, not reaching into heaven and taking what we want. In other words, if God tells me to go preach the word, which he has, he will give me what I need to do what he wants me to do, wisdom, funding, etc, but not make me rich because I want a better house or car. He said that he would give me the desire of my heart, but my heart first has to be filled with his desire. And his desire is for souls to have the opportunity to hear the gospel. I have read the Bible a few times and I always saw him say that we would suffer for his name sake, but these guys seem to hate facing suffering, like you are not being obedient if you're suffering!

It’s very simple, if he or nowadays, “she”, if their not speaking the truth, and when these people make claims that do not come true or come to pass, guess what? They ARE NOT a prophet, therefore, they are not “the anointed.” We are encouraged to point out error. Especially those that are misleading people within the elect. Churches, all denominations, have members that dab and lend a ear to people who teach error. We are to be wise not to subject ourselves to these individuals. We should stay at in the word of God, where there is no error. Remember, a sheep is never more protected or safe, than when they don’t wonder off or go off on their own. Staying close to the shepherd (Jesus), is the only way to stay safe. Stay in the word, and never deviate from it. -Stephen, Ohio

      It’s usually set at a matter of intentions. The questions would be “did you purposefully lie about hearing from God?” If “yes” you are a false prophet. This guideline does make it really hard to declare anyone as a false prophet, but is technically the line used. Additionally someone will be labeled a false prophet if they say things which are directly contradictory to scriptures and claim it as the word of God. They can have a wrong idea of what the Bible says without being a false prophet, but if they claim their wrong idea is in fact the word of God, then they are a false prophet.

In 1 Samuel 15 God anointed David as king? In Kim Clements prophesies he says ....My David and that refers to Trump. In Kim Clements Prophsies it says, We will have 2 kings? Hmmm.
