Judgement of God upon false prophecy and preaching
Judgement of God upon false prophecy and preaching

Dear friends, I hope you will be blessed from this teaching from one of my students at the Apostles' Center International School of Ministry. As the Lord visits His Church He is addressing many things for change, in particular, prophecy and preaching from the passions of the flesh. As the apostles of Christ bring the Church through this transition we will see a return to the original Second Covenant pattern for prophecy and preaching, where it will again confirm Jesus Christ and bring power for the transformation of the soul. The spiritual transformation of the soul is our hope of Christ in us, the hope of glory. ~Apostle JoAnne Cremer
Teaching from Mo Nasir: The hour of judgement in the Church
Eze 13:1-5 Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel that prophesy, and say thou unto them that prophesy out of their own hearts, Hear ye the word of the LORD; Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! O Israel, thy prophets are like the foxes in the deserts. Ye have not gone up into the gaps, neither made up the hedge for the house of Israel to stand in the battle in the day of the LORD.
Here we see the Lord pronouncing judgment against the prophets of Israel, who were prophesying out of their own hearts, not drawing inspiration from His grace. As the word of the Lord goes forth out of the mouth of His apostles and prophets, so does His judgments of mercy and wrath go forth to the world and the church, for His standard for faith has been established through the apostles and prophets words for today. Godâs judgment of mercy for the righteous, speaks of the grace and peace of God which works with the hope of regeneration of the soul, filling it with the fullness of Christ. Judgments of wrath for the wicked, speaks of the enmity God has for those who befriend the world, using the world's knowledge and the world's tools to express faith and worship to the Lord.
These prophets of old are as today's false prophets, being foolish and rejecting the protocols for faith God has established for the present covenant, deviating from pattern of truth, using their imagination as a tool of worship to fulfill the lusts of the flesh.
So it is today, that we observe false apostles and teachers promoting a gospel which takes the focus off of Christ and puts it on self. Instead of the preaching and prophecy of the New Covenant whereby believers can grow in grace for the prosperity of their souls, false apostles and teachers preach and prophecy vain words, causing souls to languish trying to find fulfillment apart from the power of God.
What is a mark of false prophecy and false preaching? One of the most prominent marks is direction it gives to use the signature gifts and talents of the soul. If we use the gifts and talents of our soul signature build a relationship with God, or to serve the Lord or acquire His validation to our faith, then we are not understanding the purpose of the New Covenant, nor the purpose of being anointed with the foundation of truth from the apostles' office. The gifts and talents of the soul do not contain the power of God's grace and therefore they are unprofitable for faith and spiritual transformation of the soul. Faith is only perfect, pleasing, and profitable for increasing the soul and the Body of Christ in love as we build with the sure word of prophecy.
What is the sure word of prophecy: The sure word of prophecy is the communication that confirms the Oath of God's covenant. The Oath of God is Jesus Christ, for it is by Christ, the lamb slain from the foundation of the world, that God promises to redeem the soul of lost man. The sure word of prophecy means the confirmation of God's plan, which gives direction for our expression and experience of faith. Under Moses it was the Law, and now in Jesus Christ, it is by the Law of Grace and Truth.
What does the sure word of prophecy do? The sure word of prophecy carries the power of grace for man's redemption, and is effectual to edify and build the Body of Christ. It is effectual because we are reciprocating the knowledge of Christ and stewarding His power of grace in our expression of faith, to God and to one another. Through our diligence to use the spiritual tool of second covenant prophecy as well as the tool of second covenant preaching (which is the hearing or studying of the Apostles' Doctrine) all may learn and all may be comforted by the words of the abundant life of Christ which refreshes, renews and regenerates the soul into the image of Christ. Those who are obedient to the Lordâs New Covenant commandments by daily laboring in the priesthood with these tools, these receive His reward of mercy to their soul which is more grace, and grace is the power by which He nourishes the inner man and enlarges the heart with His eternal fruit.
Contrast: Those who prophesy and preach from the inspirations of their own passions, boast that they have "now prophetic" word, but if we look closely, the words are always a reflection of the issues of life and how to bring resolution. Additionally, these words of prophecy give no clear direction of how to serve God by the New Covenant terms, nor how to win Christ and grow spiritually in Him. The utterance of their lips carries a language that is lofty and vague, bringing a confirmation to the things that are common to all men. These inspirations of prophecy are falsely interpreted that the Spirit is validating their faith as genuine and true.
God's invitation to the Church: God is now addressing this for change within the Church through the covenant apostles of Jesus Christ. This type of prophecy is not the way of the Lord, for true prophecy after the Second Covenant pattern confirms God's plan to heal the soul, not for the improvement of life's problems and circumstances. Although God is compassionate to His creation, and brings answers to prayers, yet the Church must now understand it is not His compassion upon circumstances that validates your faith, rather it is the issuances of His mercy. His mercy carries the power of grace for spiritual transformation and maturity, and is reserved for the souls of those who love Him by keeping His New Covenant Commandments.
Truly we are in an hour of the visitation of the Lord. Those who fail to rightly judge the wind of the Spirit fall short of God's grace and shall not behold the Lord, remaining barren of His fruit for being blinded by their aspirations, subject to the wrath that comes upon the world. But to they who heed the voice of grace in this hour of restoration, and receive the apostles of Christ for the return of the Church to the New Covenant, upon these shall God shower with His judgements of mercy, which are His blessings that will bring the Church into a spotless faith and unity in Christ.
May you be blessed with grace for understanding and the obedience of faith.
Prophecy after the order of the Second Covenant which confirms the Oath of God: âWe therefore labor to enter into His rest using the tools of the New Covenant, resourcing His power of grace for our priestly service unto Him, for as we do this we increase in spiritual fruit and virtue, bringing glory to the Father in heaven, as He beholds the Son in our expression of faith.â
Be blessed in the Lord,
