Something So Strong - Delusion and Divination



"The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility and the deception of their own minds." Jer. 14:14

I share a dream, a song and an exhortation to put blinders on and focus on the narrow road...

More scripture:
"All the counsel you have received has only worn you out! Let your astrologers come forward, those stargazers who make predictions month by month, let them save you from what is coming upon you. Surely they are like stubble; the fire will burn them up. They cannot even save themselves from the power of the flame. Here are no coals to warm anyone; here is no fire to sit by. That is all they can do for you—these you have labored with and trafficked with since childhood. Each of them goes on in his error; there is not one that can save you." Isaiah 47:13-15

"Let the one who does wrong, still do wrong; and the one who is filthy, still be filthy; and let the one who is righteous, still practice righteousness; and the one who is holy, still keep himself holy." Rev. 22:11

"For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect." Mat 24:24


...Isaiah 41:21-29...
21"Present your case," the LORD says. "Bring forward your strong arguments," The King of Jacob says.

22Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take place; As for the former events, declare what they were, That we may consider them and know their outcome. Or announce to us what is coming;

23Declare the things that are going to come afterward, That we may know that you are gods; Indeed, do good or evil, that we may anxiously look about us and fear together.

24Behold, you are of no account, And your work amounts to nothing; He who chooses you is an abomination.

25"I have aroused one from the north, and he has come; From the rising of the sun he will call on My name; And he will come upon rulers as upon mortar, Even as the potter treads clay."

26Who has declared this from the beginning, that we might know? Or from former times, that we may say, "He is right!"? Surely there was no one who declared, Surely there was no one who proclaimed, Surely there was no one who heard your words.

27"Formerly I said to Zion, 'Behold, here they are.' And to Jerusalem, 'I will give a messenger of good news.'

28"But when I look, there is no one, And there is no counselor among them Who, if I ask, can give an answer.

29"Behold, all of them are false; Their works are worthless, Their molten images are wind and emptiness.

"Something So Strong" Lyrics - Crowded House

Love can make you weep
can make you run for cover.
Roots that spread so deep
bring life to frozen ground.
Something so strong could carry us away

Something so strong could carry us today.

Turning in my sleep
love can leave you cold

The taste of jealousy is like a lust for gold.
Something so strong could carry us away

Something so strong could carry us today.

I've been feeling so much older

Frame me and hang me on the wall.
I've seen you fall into the same trap

This thing is happening to us all.
Something so strong could carry us away

Something so strong could carry us today.

Something so strong
something so strong

Something so strong
something so strong

in Christ alone



Recently the Lord put a person in my path that kept asking me about various prophets on cable tv.  I said I don't have time to listen or to do anything but that Jesus puts it before me Himself.  Claiming to be a prophet, she said "Oh, I just watch it for confirmation on the words I get." 
So here I am to reply with what God says about this mentality on this episode of hearingGod...

In Matthew 24 we are warned:  23 “Then if anyone says to you, ‘Look, here is the Christ!’ or ‘There!’ do not believe it. 24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. 25 See, I have told you beforehand.
26 “Therefore if they say to you, ‘Look, He is in the desert!’ do not go out; or ‘Look, He is in the inner rooms!’ do not believe it. 27 For as the lightning comes from the east and flashes to the west, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 28 For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together.

And in the book of Daniel (12:4) we hear:  "...even to the time of the end many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased."

So how do we fall into this trap?  By expecting manna to be in one place, perhaps?  Remember each day the Israelites had to pitch the old and go out and collect new else it would rot.  Perhaps we become so Man focused that we forget that we are supposed to be God focused instead?  Now remember this is what it says of the end times...--28 "For wherever the carcass is, there the eagles will be gathered together."  Isn't it interesting that the biblical interpretation of what an 'eagle' represents is a prophet!

Remember, I'm just reading the word of God here. 

What was really funny was that this same individual seemed to have a problem that I was not in a 'church box' at the time.  I explained that church is 2 or 3 gathered in His name not some big assembly.  Or maybe I should've said eagles sitting around a carcass!

The fact of the matter is that the age of the gentiles has been fulfilled.  The Link for info has since disappeared from the internet so I'll include it at the bottom of this page.

In Daniel we find out when the end of the Gentile church was and in Hebrews (8:8-10) we find out what it is to be in covenant with the Lord God most high..... "For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws in their mind and write them on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. 11 None of them shall teach his neighbor, and none his brother, saying, ‘Know the LORD,’ for all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them. "

If you are seeking God alone you KNOW HIM....how easy is that?  You don't need a man filter, you don't need to bubble over here & there & every which way filling your head with noise.   You ask, you seek, you knock....you receive God as He confirms what He wants you to know...however He shows up!

Please be warned the danger of of not minding your own and God's own business....
In 2 Chronicles 18:20-22 we have an important lesson to learn by the example in the prophet Micaiah versus every other prophet in the kingdom of Ahab... In what I read is Micaiah explaining to the king what God showed him:
20 "Then a spirit came forward and stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will persuade him.’ The LORD said to him, ‘In what way?’ 21 So he said, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the LORD said, ‘You shall persuade him and also prevail; go out and do so.’ 22 Therefore look! The LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and the LORD has declared disaster against you.”

Maybe today God led you here for this message...but tomorrow He'll confirm what He's been trying to tell you elsewhere...and maybe even through a tv evangelist.  I'm not anti-christian tv... I just know what the word of God says & you are not going to find a feeding trough here on earth anymore.  You ask He shows up, that's how it works.  The worst thing you can do is reject if He shows up and you cannot recognize Him because 'religion' has brainwashed you in to believing He won't show up through some unsaved person or a bum on the street or an unchristian song on the radio.  Don't let yourself be captured in some box somewhere...those days are over.  Let Him teach you, train you.  No more itching ears!!!

THE GENTILE CHURCH - [Click for a video teaching on this]
We have been taught for a great while now that YAHWEH has turned his back on the Israelites and has instead chosen the Gentile people. Although according to the bible there never was a mention of a gentile church, and the words "Gentile bride" are never mentioned. It is true that there were Gentiles who were made spiritual Israelites by Yahweh in order for them to be accepted into the kingdom of YAHSHUA. Romans 11:11 says about Israel: "I say then, Have they stumbled that they should fall? YAHWEH forbid: but rather through their fall salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them to jealousy." The chapter goes on to refer to the Gentiles as a wild olive branch graphed onto a good olive tree. The Gentiles are also warned that it is much easier to graph the original limbs back onto the tree. This was a reference to Israel and the time when YAHWEH would turn his face back to them. Yes, YAHWEH has promised many times in the bible that one day his face would be turned back to his chosen people, Israel. (Ezek. 36:19-24), (Ezek. 37:15-23), (Isa. 54:4-7). And: Luke 21:24 states about Israel: "And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." This is speaking of the hard times Israel will come across until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled and YAHWEH turns his face back to them. Romans 11:25-29 states: "For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away unrighteousness from Jacob: For this is my covenant unto them when I shall take away their sins. As concerning the gospel, they are enemies for your sakes: but as touching the election, they are beloved for the fathers' sakes. For the gifts and calling of YAHWEH are without repentance." This again is a warning to the Gentiles that YAHWEH will turn his face back to Israel when the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled. Hebrews 8:8-12 states about Israel: "For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith YAHWEH, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith Yahweh. For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the YAHWEH; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts; and I will be to them a ELOHIM, and they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know YAHWEH: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more." Again YAHWEH has said he will turn back to Israel. There is another component to the scriptures. Luke 21:24 states: ".....and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." Rom. 11:25 states: ".......blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in." These scriptures make it clear that the days of the gentile are not continuous and have an appointed end. Another point is that both of these scriptures mention occurrences that will happen at the end of the gentile period. 1.) Jerusalem shall no longer be trodden down of the gentiles. 2.) Partial blindness will no longer happen to Israel. So according to these scriptures there will be an end to YAHWEH's grace toward the gentiles, when this end comes Jerusalem shall again be in the hands of the Jews, and at that time Israel will no longer be blind. If you consider yourself to be a gentile the biggest question on your mind is probably, "When will the gentile time be fulfilled?" The answer is in the eight chapter of the book of Daniel. Within this chapter Daniel describes a vision.
Daniel 8: "In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first. And I saw a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai. Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw and, behold, there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other and the higher came up last. I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will and became great. And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing before the river, and ran into him in the fury of his power. And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven. And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant land. And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down. And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground, and it practiced, and prospered. Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. And it came to pass, that when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man. And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand O son of man: for at the time of the end shall be the vision. Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. the ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up. And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall destroy the mighty and the kodesh people. And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in this hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand. And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and was astonished at the vision, but none understood it."
This chapter is very important. It is very mysterious and Daniel's associates couldn't understand it even though Gabriel had explained it to Daniel. Gabriel explained to Daniel that this vision concerned the end time (Daniel 8:19) and that it was about a battle between the Grecian king and the Medo/Persian king. It is not until now, in the end time, we can get an idea of the message from this vision. Such a battle was fought between King Darius III and Alexander the Great, at Issus in then Syria, in the Roman year of 333 B.C. You may ask your self, "Why is this battle so important? Why would this be in the Bible? After all, many kings fought with one another in those times." But this one was important, because it gives a starting date for the two thousand three hundred days of Daniel's vision (Daniel 8:13-14). In the book of Daniel days are used as a symbol of years, so the days are actually two thousand three hundred years. And what will happen for those years? Daniel 8:13 says that both the sanctuary and the host were to be trodden under foot. These same words echo back in Luke 21:24 that again states: ".....and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled." This tells us that Daniel's vision was concerning the length of the time of grace toward the Gentiles. We now have a starting date (333 B.C.), a length of time (2300 years), and an action to happen at the end of that time (Jerusalem being retaken by Israel and the time of the Gentiles closing). To get the date of this occurrence we simply have to the beginning time from the ending time. 2300 A.D. - 333 B.C. = 1967 A.D. (2300 - 333 = 1967). According to history the Jews, who call themselves Israel, reclaimed the city of Jerusalem in 1967 in the six day war. And to this day they rule over it. If this is true, then the Gentile times were fulfilled, grace was withdrawn from the gentiles, and YAHWEH turned his face back to Israel in 1967. All of this happened but nobody noticed and there was no rapture of the church!!
If you consider yourself to be a gentile you may refuse to believe it or you may be wondering what you will do now. Do not fret, keep reading there is more. YAHWEH does not desert his people! If YAHWEH has put it in your heart to read this far chances are you belong to him and are one of the ones he said would be his people.

It's NOT about you...



What is 'reading mail' about anyways? Join Freedom 1 in this episode of hearingGod as she talks about the two ways people acquire 'hidden knowledge' and exhorts you to move through the narrow gate in attaining it.

If you're moving prophetically you know all about what 'reading someone's mail' is about.  If not...all you need to know is that it's Not about You!

Today I want to talk about this interesting phenomena I like to call 'reading mail'.  It's basically when you get 'tuned in' to God's frequency and He uses you as a vessel of His presence here on earth.  Keep in mind that God, being outside the confines of time, already knows the outcome of all things and that's plainly spelled out in the scriptures that keep unfolding with His ultimate script.  [Change in understanding 2009:  I no longer believe that the enemy is outside of time as per the next statement... but watches what we do/say to SUPPOSE an outcome, as well as operation through familiar spirits.]  But who else is outside of time...  Yep, all the fallen angels.  That's why it's so important to test EvErYtHiNg!

I've said it before, I'll say it again...Yes, everyone on the earth has this power to be a ‘vessel’, but because He, creator God, gives us 'choice' He allows people access to it either through the door of Jesus or they can go around & find some other way in to access this power...but there's a catch...
In John chapter 10, which speaks of the Shepherd and His flock, it says: 
 1"I tell you the truth, the man who does not enter the sheep pen by the gate, but climbs in by some other way, is a thief and a robber."

So...you can guess the outcome.  Without going in through the door...you'll find something to the effect of 'I never knew you...'  ouch!

So let's look at the options here...
Vessel 'A', seeking creator God, pulls us closer to Him, whom loves us and gives us that freedom to freely love Him back.  Vessel 'B', using witchcraft or plainly said...getting your information from a fallen angel...still might help people but read John 10 again.  Then realize that it's not about you....you're only a pawn to the devil. 

Haven't you ever seen this in the dating game...come on!  There's an ugly break up and the girl or guy goes to someplace to be 'seen' with someone you despise on their arm.  You know they don't even like that person or it's someone that gets your goat....it's just something they are trying to do to hurt you, and what's sad is the person clinging to your 'ex's' arm really thinks they've got a new love.  We know better.  They are totally being used.  This is just what happens every time any power is sought outside of God.  You think you're getting something great, but underneath you're only being used in a game of lashing back at God.

So if you're out there exploring all this cosmic power stuff...just know who's arm you're holding.  Understand the dynamics & see that one is blindingly abusing you. 
The serpant whispers, "Sure help people, do whatever you want...I'll give you power...you can have anything you want."
Just ask how many adults, that grew up in a single parent home, what love is...is it the one parent scraping by & caring for them 24/7 or is it the one who they see every so often that bought their love and let them do whatever they wanted?  A child thinks it's great at the time... but years later, when they 'know better' they feel the hurt.

Jesus is loving you and waiting to be loved.  He's that parent that's doing the 24/7, sacrificing everything for you...only asking to be loved in return.  So come in through the gate with the shepherd in this gifting, if you haven't already.

Now, I can remember the first time I really read someone's mail...

I didn't go through any of those prophetic training classes or openly tell God I wanted to do this sort of thing.  It seems it was birthed from having a heart for intercession... from very deeply caring about another's welfare.

I was interpreting a dream for a person on an anonymous message-board & I felt such a deep desire to help them.  I could see that their heart was right and they needed encouragement and counsel through the dream.  I began to pray for them & responded with what I felt the Lord was saying more than a mere interpretation.  As I began to type, the Lord just took over and it began to flow.  When I was done & ready to post, I was nervous because I felt the Holy Spirit moving through me, but I was really going out on a limb.  This was way more than an interpretation.  BUT, the blessing of an anonymous message-board is obvious...so I encourage anyone that has a heart for intercession but hasn't stepped out as His message-bearer...to give this route a try. 

To my surprise, I hit the nail on the head...I was able to deliver that manna she needed.  Several private messages ensued & we even talked about getting together because we were only a couple hours away from each other.  But soon, I caught on to what was happening...

She was focusing on me.  She was putting me up on a pedestal!  In my inexperience I thought there was 'more' than just being that vessel.  I wasn't hearing God say anything about anything further involvement with her, but this woman was just ogling. Then He showed me what was happening by watching other people that proclaimed they were prophets.  I'm sitting here watching this 'look at me' attitude in this 'prophet' and people just ogling around them.  I recognized that though they might care for the welfare of the people...they also had a root of pride in sucking up the accolades that only belong to God.   They loved the attention!  Guess what?  IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! 

After Jesus showed me that, I was really humbled.  First that God would even use me as a vessel...but even more so in the responsibility involved with being His vessel.  You've heard the phrase from 'Spiderman'...."With great power, comes Great Responsibility." 

  1. "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven, On that day many will say to me, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many deeds of power in your name?' Then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; go away from me, you evildoers.'" (Matthew 7:21-23)
Who else had pride that went to their heads?  Who else loved that attention?  Be very careful, remember it's not about you at all.

Do you have that desire to be that vessel for God?  Do you find yourself fulfilled in helping others?  I want to encourage you in moving into this prophetic gifting!

Again, there are plenty of message-boards out there.... people that are reaching out... starving to hear God!  You can be that vessel to refresh their souls.  And take my experience to help you abandon yourself and be full of Him.

When God stirs you in empathy for a person & you begin to pray and intercede... watch for those spiritual cues.  Pay attention... do you feel the presence of God upon yourself?  For most you'll feel the power of God manifest in one way or another... some feel their stomach region on fire, others feel it on their hands or upon their head.  If you haven't stepped out, you have to get in the habit of recognizing... of hearing God when He shows up.  Being on these anonymous message-boards are good training to get you to take a step, but eventually you'll need to recognize Him when He wants you to act at the bus stop, in the office at the park.

Next pay attention to how you are praying for anyone.  A lot of times we think we know what a person needs to do... but stop, 'Alert, WaRniNg'... we don't want to move in earthly counsel or 'thy will be done'.  When we get drawn into empathy for a person we tend to want to agree with them for that big band-aide over the situation, but it's not going to heal unless God is allowed to clean it up first!  God knows what they need, and you don't want to be a 'smooth prophet'.  If you find yourself leaning too much on your own understanding you need to get out the big weapon and use it incessantly... Pray In Tongues!  You need to abandon the 'you' to hear the 'HIM'. 

Look how we are.. we love to spoil our kids... we love the quick fix... we like the positive 'word', but God knows exactly what we all need.  And sometimes it's not pleasant to 'read mail'... you're gonna face rejection... but know that they are really rejecting Him... remember, it's not about You!

The next 'big gun' is to pray the scriptures...  if the wisdom in word of the Lord comes to you... pray it.   For example... if they have a financial need, praying this 'word' of God:  "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus."(Philippians 4:19) --that is a perfect prayer. 

Sometimes God gives you a 'word' for a person, but sometimes you might only get that scripture you prayed... so share that with them.  As a vessel, you pour out whatever He gives you.

Whatever you do, just remember, it's NOT about you!
