Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Covetousness. What is covetousness? It is an unholy longing. A longing for something you do not have. There is a godly covetousness. When you covet something from my kingdom, you do well. For example, you should covet the prayers of your brothers and sisters. You should covet a closer relationship with me. You should covet holiness, greater self denial, even the gifts as you are able to receive them.
But I am not here to speak of those things. No, I wish to speak one more time about coveting the things of this world. I wish to speak about my children’s hearts, which are so easily led astray by the lies and enticements of Babylon.
I say, one more time, because my church is rapidly approaching the place where I shall speak no more. How many warnings, how many threats must I utter before you will finally listen? And to be perfectly clear, I mean listen with the intent of immediate obedience. To listen without action is not to listen at all.
My church, after all these years of finding yourself immersed in the ways and practices of the Laodicean generation, can you not immediately spot the fraudsters? The charlatans, those who operate in the same spirit as the telemarketer, the infomercial man, the used car salesman? Need I say more? These hucksters, these carnival barkers, blaspheme without shame. They boldly twist my word, using catchy slogans, as if straight out of a Wall Street marketing campaign. They claim to prophesy, and then outrageously state that if the Lord has spoken through them, then it has to come to pass.
Never mind that word after word has fallen to the ground. Never mind that they have been exposed time and time again for the greedy, fleshly, carnal deceivers that they are.
Can you not yet discern that those demonic purveyors of the so called prosperity gospel have simply crawled out of their holes after rebranding their message? Instead of being known as word of faith, they now call themselves the seven mountains of influence. Instead of being called hyper grace, they are now dominionists. Instead of teaching that you can have what you say, they teach that the wealth of the sinner is about to be transferred to the just.
For those shepherds and prophets who still refuse to repent, despite many warnings, I have a word for you. And the word is that I am not willing to speak to you anymore. Your stubbornness is as witchcraft in my eyes. In fact, I have sent a deceiving spirit into the mouth of the false prophets. Not only shall this hasten their destruction, but it will serve to fully divide the remaining goats from the sheep.
To those of my sheep, why do you continue to listen to these fools? Reprobates are they all, adulterating my word for personal gain. My sheep, you have outsourced your responsibility to seek me to your pastors and prophets. Instead of paying the price in your prayer closet to truly learn the master’s voice, you have allowed those in the pulpits to decide what is true and what is not. As a result, you have allowed your conscience to dull and your heart to harden. As one who is about to have a heart attack or a stroke, your vital organ is covered with the greasy fat of false doctrines, spiritual junk food that serves no purpose except to kill you.
Where is your discernment? Where is your understanding of what is good and what is evil? Why do you continue to give these filthy wretches a platform and a following? Have you become so spiritually lazy that you refuse to lift even one finger to save yourselves from this madness?
False prophets all have one thing in common. They all preach smooth things. They cannot help but focus on and emphasize the blessings, and the promises, the deliverances, and the escapes. They rarely teach on the things a true prophet of God is called upon to proclaim. And that is repentance. If some charlatan has stated ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed’, and calls not my people back to the cross, back to a deeper crucified life, beware of that prophet. Stop listening to what your flesh wants you to hear.
Your addiction to your cellphones are reprogramming your minds. You are being trained to live in a fantasy world of your own choosing. You are learning to ignore reality, and pretend the world is as how you desire it. That same spirit is in the mouth of all the false prophets. They too know just what you want to hear. And because of your evil, unrepentant heart, you give them your ear. And you do not realize that when you give them your ear, you are actually also giving them your soul.
Anyone who prophesizes about gold and silver, investments and stock markets, is not of me. They are never of me. Are you so blind as to truly think that I care about the stock market? Have you gone insane? My wrath is greatly kindled when I hear of such things. What will it take for you to see that these children of Belial are completely in bondage to the love of money?
This focus on finances has to stop. If you refuse to run from such fiends, then I will turn you over to that same deceiving spirit that I have placed in the mouths of these false prophets.
Since when does the kingdom of heaven and the kingdoms of this world have anything in common? The earth dweller lusts after money. The true child of God shudders in horror when the temptation to covet approaches. Why is your material comfort and security more important to you than anything else in your life? Do you truly believe such priorities are acceptable for a real child of the King? Shall you continue to deceive yourselves up until the day your sins toss you into hell, or shall you yet wake up, while a little time remains?
And little time it is. Stop outsourcing your faith. Stop outsourcing your personal relationship with me. Take courage, and walk away from the corrupted souls, that teach you not of my word, but employ witchcraft and divination, masquerading as the voice and gifts of the Spirit. Walk, nay run from such. Do so, and you shall save yourself. Ignore this command, and reap the consequences.
