What If?

Prophetic Teaching #2, 2017 & Beyond

What if so many prophetic words are proven to be false? What if so many biblical scholars are wrong? What if what you have been led to believe is now wrong? What if…?

“Wisdom cries in the streets,” Jesus said. What is this wisdom? What was Jesus eluding too? Jesus continues, “Wisdom is justified of its children.” So not everyone has wisdom but true wisdom makes those who have it justified. Are you then justified in Christ without wisdom? I do not think so.

Proverbs says that wisdom brings one to God. With wisdom one can grow in the Lord and find health and prosperity. But the flip side to all of this is that without wisdom there is only tragedy and spiritual darkness waiting for you.

Wisdom helps you to identify what is from God and what is from Satan. If you do not respond to wisdom’s call to what God is saying, doing, wanting from you, then only judgment awaits you. This is why Jesus cried over Jerusalem before His crucifixion. “If only, if only you would have known? If only you would have recognized and responded to what God was doing? But you didn’t, so your judgment is coming and your city (Jerusalem) will be completely destroyed.”

The Bible says that God no longer turns aside or ignores sin and evilness. Now that Jesus has made a way into life and truth, God does not take your rejection of truth lightly. Reject truth (wisdom in action), you reject God personally. “It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” The Holy Spirit is now at work in the world. He is carrying out God’s plans and purposes. He speaks to us in many different ways so everyone can know and respond to God the Father and accept His Son Jesus.

Satan, however, still goes about creating as much confusion and doubt as he can. He only seeks to kill, steal and destroy all that God has done or what He is planning to do. This is why Satan works to confuse not only the world’s population but also the Church. I find confusion everywhere I turn. Satan likes the people of God to be in doubt and darkness—without spiritual reasoning or truth. Wisdom is to correct this dilemma.

Oh, how stupid we can be without God’s wisdom of truth guiding us along. That is why so many prophecies have failed. Why so my church teachings do not work. It is because wisdom was not in the mix. People spoke and wrote without the Holy Spirit of truth and its wisdom offering to do the works or give the insights.

Do not try and figure out the how, why or to what extent God is doing what He is doing. You cannot even begin to reason out what God can do or is planning to do. I accept the Bible at face value and I believe in the working of the Holy Spirit convicting me of sin, judgment and righteousness. I accept, I believe, and I respond to wisdom. I am daily seeking His face, His righteousness, and His mind; His wisdom pushes me to do so.

This is why I can say with confidence that only 25% of prophecies will be found out to be true and correct. Why only 25% of denominational theology is correct and helpful to the Kingdom of God. ‘Only 25% of the seed that is planted brings forth a yield’, Jesus said on the Sermon on the Mount. And last but not least, only 25% of Jesus’s followers were in the Upper Room on the day of Pentecost. With all of this in front of us, I can safely say, “Only 25% of all Christians are willing to let ‘their smartness’ be overridden by the wisdom of the Holy Spirit.”

It is not ‘the religious’ that find wisdom but those who respond to the miraculous activity of God. Jesus said, “Many have I called but few have I chosen.” Be a chosen—find wisdom! God has spoken, may God’s grace bring us the wisdom that is offered in the Holy Spirit.
