"With the merciful you show yourself merciful;
with the blameless man you show yourself blameless;
with the purified you show yourself pure;
and with the crooked you make yourself seem tortuous.
For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
For it is you who light my lamp;
the Lord my God lightens my darkness.
For by you I can run against a troop,
and by my God I can leap over a wall.
This God—his way is perfect;
the word of the Lord proves true;
he is a shield for all those who take refuge in him." Psalm 18:25-30

“The most damnable and pernicious heresy that has ever plagued the mind of man is that somehow he can make himself good enough to deserve to live forever with an all-holy God.”

-Martin Luther

 

[Victor E.]

"I think we have a great many apostles (see the below post) that don't yet realize they are apostles. We need teachers and pastors to feed these spiritual infants and grow them along the way, not abortionists who are unconcerned for the lambs and kill them before they have a chance.

Paul's farewell to the Ephesians.

"Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood. I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them" Acts 20:28-30

Something I've been thinking on/reminded of is the general maturity of my audience contrasted with my own. Perhaps sometimes we don't realize, or we lose track of how far along we've matured in faith. You will hardly ever be led to speak incredibly abrasive things to a new believer or to someone who has shown interest in what God has to offer them. If you are, you have likely been deceived by your mind (been there) and they re-acted with hostility/scorn/unrest.

Feed lambs, feed Sheep, Watch Sheep (Christ's charge to Peter, to show Christ that Peter really loved Him, even after thrice denied, John 21:15-19). We all stumble in many ways but it's God's grace that is able to make us stand and go even higher, until we can no longer see our past failures, rather the future success promised by God to those who love Him/them.

"We have much to say about this, but it is hard to explain, because you are dull of hearing. Although by this time you ought to be teachers, you need someone to reteach you the basic principles of God’s word. You need milk, not solid food! Everyone who lives on milk is still an infant, inexperienced in the message of righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained their sensibilities to distinguish good from evil." Hebrews 5:11-14


"Some signs of true apostles:
Signs, wonders, and miracles
Supernatural revelation and insight
Correcting false doctrine
Raising and releasing other five fold ministers
Traveling to establish churches and ministries
Patiently enduring hatred and persecution
Being set apart and sent to grow the universal church (not focused entirely on the local church)"

Manipulation. I've heard of "mother's child" but if there was a "father's child" for Satan (Father of lies John 8:44) it would be Manipulation. "It takes one to know one" is very accurate. A confession. Part of my past experience (not that I'm boasting or denying the truth) is I used to be a master of manipulation, I can spot it instantly, and it doesn't even need to say words to be obvious. Let's break it down. Manipulation contrasted with Perfect Love.

Manipulation- control or influence (a person or situation) cleverly, unfairly, or unscrupulously.

Unscrupulous- having or showing no moral principles; not honest or fair.

Clever- skilled at doing or achieving something; talented. Astute. Sharp. quick to understand, learn, and devise or apply ideas; intelligent. showing intelligence or skill; ingenious.

Control- the power to influence or direct people's behavior or the course of events.

determine the behavior or supervise the running of.

Perfect love- Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8).

I think one of the follies of humans, is mistaking kindness for weakness.

A thought. The "mighty" book "Laws of Power" was written from experience, like most every knowledge, insight, prophecy, or revelation. To understand the greatest criminal minds, someone must have been a GREAT criminal. "Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners--of whom I am the worst." 1 Timothy 1:15. "Master yourself, Master the enemy"? (Proverbs 16:32). Let's talk a bit of wisdom. What is "intelligence"?

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” --Sun Tzu

 

[Victor E.]

Paul speaking briefly on his Apostolic Authority. A Love letter. 2 Corinthians 10 (BSB). Sphere of influence.

"Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away. I beg you that when I come, I may not need to be as bold as I expect toward those who presume that we live according to the flesh.

For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the world. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We tear down arguments, and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, as soon as your obedience is complete.

You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should remind himself that we belong to Christ just as much as he does. For even if I boast somewhat excessively about the authority the Lord gave us for building you up rather than tearing you down, I will not be ashamed.

I do not want to seem to be trying to frighten you by my letters. For some say, “His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is unimpressive, and his speaking is of no account.” Such people should consider that what we are in our letters when absent, we will be in our actions when present.

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance. We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you. We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.

Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that, as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well, so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.

Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.” For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

Prophecy received {027 012 016; 1:50pm}

I will raise young men from all over the world that will correct and build on the foundations the fathers has laid.

Men who will give themselves to prayer and fasting and the study of the Word. Men who will be disciplined in the study of the Word.

For I will fill them with my knowledge and Understanding.
I will fill them with my Knowledge and understanding to teach my people.

Men from all over will be hungry for the Word. They will be tired of junks they hear all around. I will place in them the desire to search for the true Word of God that alone can build them up.

And for this reason, I will raise men, YOUNG MEN (both genders) who will teach my people. MEN WHO WILL GIVE THEMSELVES TO PRAYER AND FASTING, AND THE STUDY OF THE WORD; whose heart pant after me.

For I will fill the earth with the knowledge of my glory in the face of Jesus Christ.

For I will position these men in different countries all around the world

For the move has started already. It has started.
Nigeria will champion this movement, then Africa, to the Uttermost part of the earth. For Africa will export back to the world what Christianity really is.

I will raise for myself these young men who will give themselves to prayer and fasting, and the study of the Word - AND I WILL FILL THEM WITH MY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING SUCH AS NEVER BEEN BEFORE to feed my people. "Such as never been before."

They will rubbish the activities of the devil everywhere and demonstrate the sovereignty of God for all to see.

Thus saith the Lord.

Amen.

The Word of God is not exclusive to anyone based on crowd. No matter how many years you have in ministry, don't be arrogant. You are only humble when you have something worth showing and you don't show it.
- Ps Segun Onayinka

“It is funny how mortals always picture us as putting things into their minds: in reality our best work is done by keeping things out.”

Oh Wormwood...

“Do not be deceived, Wormwood. Our cause is never more in danger than when a human, no longer desiring, but still intending, to do our Enemy’s will, looks round upon a universe from which every trace of Him seems to have vanished, and asks why he has been forsaken, and still obeys.”

― C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters

 

[Victor E.]

I've seen a mass wave of suicidal spirits going around and attacking people. If you see someone not themselves/unusually quiet, proclaim value over them and value over yourself. Perhaps physical tokens of affection. These thoughts are not ours, but they belong to the destroyer who brings ruin. Love well, and encourage well.

"Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour" 1 Peter 5:8 KJV

"I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me." Galatians 2:20

"It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." Galatians 5:1

 

[Victor E.]

The more knowledge you discover, the more chains you may apply to your mind. There may be times we should receive the kingdom like a child, throw away our own understanding, and allow God's Promises of life, peace, love, and salvation to become our understanding.

"At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who then is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

Jesus called a little child to stand among them. “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And whoever welcomes a little child like this in My name welcomes Me.

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea." Matthew 18:1-6

 

[Victor E.]

This. The corporate elite is a cesspool of subtle destruction. Psychological warfare that appears harmless. I hardly trust the Tylenol I take on an annual basis. Conspiracy theorist? I would consider myself a realist, the heart of wickedness lies in the uppermost echelons of political power. Money hungry wolves.

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your vision is clear, your whole body will be full of light. But if your vision is poor, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!

No one can serve two masters: Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money." Matthew 6:22-24

Interesting Word.

"The accusation of "Self-appointed apostles" gets thrown around a lot.

I am not sure how many of these I have actually met. I say this because, like many of you, I have not taken the time to ask each apostle how they became an apostle.

Perhaps we are being too quick in our judgments and in our language. Yes, I have met a ton of controlling, arrogant, self-absorbed, and obnoxious "apostles." But that doesn't mean they were self-appointed.

Often they were commissioned within a toxic system under a wrong definition of what an apostle is and does.

It is imperative that we move the conversation away from focusing on "self-appointed" versus "actually commissioned," and instead focus on the actual definition of a true apostle. That is the legitimacy which we are longing for.

I have heard that Apostles are the CEO's of the Kingdom, the Head of His earthly government.

I have heard that they are focused on heaven and the big picture and bringing it into the earth.

I have heard that they cause cultural transformation and this is the fruit we look for.

There are so many vague and unhelpful definitions. It is time that we actually go back to Scripture and lay a new foundation in our minds.

Here is a basic starting point of signs for true apostles:
Signs, wonders, and miracles
Supernatural revelation and insight
Correcting false doctrine
Raising and releasing other four of the fivefold ministers
Traveling to establish churches and ministries
Patiently enduring hatred and persecution
Being set apart and sent to grow the universal church (not focused entirely on the local church)

Technically, when Antioch launched Paul and Barnabas in Acts 13, there had never been an apostle outside of the twelve "apostles of the lamb" (Rev 21:14).

We can see Paul struggling with defending his apostolic ministry calling throughout his writings. Ultimately it comes down to producing the fruit over and over again."

The 10 Commandments. If a believer's definition of "love" in the 2 Greatest commandments doesn't match up to them, perhaps we should reevaluate our definition of love and make sure it's Scriptural. That was a Royal Decree ordained by God. (Mark 10:17-31) and Christ advocated for it quite strongly. It's profitable to honor that and obey. Father deliver us from "Babylon the Great" (Rev. 17:1-18, Revelations 18). Thankful that pure self-less love in action is obedience.

 

[Victor E.]

"After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.” Rev 4:1

"For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night." 1 Thess 5:2

 

[Victor E.]

"Then Jesus said to the crowds, “As soon as you see a cloud rising in the west, you say, ‘A shower is coming,’ and that is what happens. And when the south wind blows, you say, ‘It will be hot,’ and it is. You hypocrites! You know how to interpret the appearance of the earth and sky. Why don’t you know how to interpret the present time?" Luke 12:54-56

 

[Victor E.]

You can't depend on the media to tell you about anything worth knowing. In the end, everything passes away except God's kingdom.

 

[Victor E.]

Which is more loving? Temporary encouragement that is a lie, or eternal Truth that is eternal life? I believe the definition of love has become incredibly twisted, nuanced, and distorted. More specifically, within the Roman Catholic Church. An illegitimate child shrouded in heresies. Universalism is a lie. God is justice and righteousness. It is good to pray for mercy, but it is also good to know God's will. Also...

Where did all the "fire and brimstone" street preachers go? I had great respect for those guys. They did something I could not.
