Psalm 119 (KJV)
65 Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O Lord, according unto thy word.
66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.
67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.
68 Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.
69 The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.
70 Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.
71 It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
72 The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

Jeremiah 5 (KJV)
6 Wherefore a lion out of the forest shall slay them, and a wolf of the evenings shall spoil them, a leopard shall watch over their cities: every one that goeth out thence shall be torn in pieces: because their transgressions are many, and their backslidings are increased.
7 How shall I pardon thee for this? thy children have forsaken me, and sworn by them that are no gods: when I had fed them to the full, they then committed adultery, and assembled themselves by troops in the harlots' houses.

Spiritually Abusive Churches - Personal Testimony

WARNING TO THE SHEPHARDS - deliverance for the sheep!!!!!!!!!!

PART 1 - Discern the spirit of 'False Prophets'

Pride vs. Humility. True unity in Christ or unity under a lie?
This is a big issue to me, because I have personally been in places that teach false docterines, have false prophecies, give you a spirit of fear, condemnation, etc. I have seen deceptive spirits at work - ones that work under the cloak of 'God'. Be wise as serpants. Always test the fruit. THE FRUITS OF THE SPIRIT are love, joy, peace, patience, goodness, kindness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control. Just because someone quotes scripture doesn't mean that they are speaking of God - the devil can quote scripture!!
........

AND NEVER exalt a man/servant/minister/prophet of God more than you should. Do not LOOK TO THEM for direction. The Holy Spirit lives in YOU!! He is our teacher. If something another person says is truly from God, and you are sensitive to God's Spirit - you will RECOGNIZE His voice. It will bear witness to you!

PART 2 - Should we expose false prophets

AAAAMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!

Most of "going to church" these days is about "feelings".
It is NOT about LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From:
The Holy Spirit is GOD not Feelings!

The Spirit of God is GOD; the Holy Spirit is certainly not a feeling. People have made the Holy Spirit to be their own little feeling inside of them. They say that the Holy Spirit is a combination of first your Bible knowledge, then the feeling that you get inside of you. They think it's a combination between what people have told them like pastors and elders and people who are supposedly strong Christians. They think it's a combination of what people have said, their own gut feeling and their Bible knowledge. That is NOT the Holy Spirit.

From:
Churches REJECT the Holy Spirit

Churches today are rejecting the Holy Spirit of the Living God. They point people to church, they point people to organizations and to other pastors and other things, but they do NOT point people to JESUS the LIVING GOD.

From:
Don Mclean - Castles In The Air

For I will not be part of her cocktail generation:
Partners waltz, devoid of all romance.
The music plays and everyone must dance.
I'm bowing out. I need a second chance.

Save me from all the trouble and the pain.
I know I'm weak, but I can't face that girl again.
Tell her the reasons why I can't remain,
Perhaps she'll understand if you tell it to her plain.

And if she asks you why, you can tell her that I told you
That I'm tired of castles in the air.
I've got a dream I want the world to share
And castle walls just lead me to despair.

Psalm 12 speaks of keeping "His people" from "boastful
and arrogant and flattering lips and tongues" which say,
"We own our lips - who is our master?"

...Psalm 12
...1 Help, LORD, for the godly are no more;
...the faithful have vanished from among men.
...2 Everyone lies to his neighbor;
...their flattering lips speak with deception.

...3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips
...and every boastful tongue
...4 that says, "We will triumph with our tongues;
...we own our lips - who is our master?"

...5 "BECAUSE OF THE OPPRESSION OF THE WEAK AND
...THE GROANING OF THE NEEDY, I WILL NOW ARISE,"
...says the LORD.
..."I WILL PROTECT THEM FROM THOSE WHO MALIGN THEM."
...6 And the words of the LORD are flawless,
...like silver refined in a furnace of clay, purified SEVEN times.

...7 O LORD, you will keep us safe
...and protect us from such people forever.
...8 The wicked freely strut about
...when what is vile is honored among men.

SAD but most churches "also" take on the same "traits"
as described in Psalm 12. Prophecy is "JUST ANOTHER
SUBJECT" to these people. In other words, "PROPHECY"
is spoken of in the same "way" as someone might speak
of hunting, fishing, golf, doing one's hair at the beauty
parlor, a wedding, etc., etc., etc.

Just common "TALK, TALK TALK!!!!!!!!!!"

"PLEASE COME, LORD JESUS!!!!!!!!"

Come and judge the Earth in Your righteousness and Your
people with Your truth!!!!!!!!!!!

The following makes a "connection" with the above:

Back in 2006, I was living in Mississippi and had been going to
Baptist church (for a short while) where I had, years before, been
a deacon. I did NOT feel the LOVE and I thought there was more
just raw "talk" there than a normal beauty parlor. Not much to do
with REALLY listening to the Lord.

Then, in January, 2006, I had a dream, which, I believe told me to
JUST GET OUT (and just quit going). My nephew was living in the
same location and also had a dream regarding "family" AT THE
VERY SAME TIME!!!!!!!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(from an old letter)

Last week, I had a dream that I was trying to "leave" the parking
lot of a church and, as I tried to move my car, it just kept bumping
into the other cars in the parking lot as "ALL" looked on. It was
VERY embarrassing to me and I woke up with an embarrassed
feeling. I believe a couple of people whose cars were hit were
trying to tell me is was "ALL RIGHT" but most were just staring
with a look of condemnation and accusation.

For some reason, I shared the dream with my nephew 2 days ago.
AMAZINGLY, David (my nephew) had "JUST" had the "SAME" type
of dream. Most likely, he wouldn't have told me about it had I not
shared mine. In his dream, he had been told to move a car that was
parked in front of our house where our family home is but the car was
"JAMMED IN" with other cars. While many in the family looked out
the front window, he eased the car that he was to move "forward" but
it got hung up on the bumper of the car in front.

There is NO FREEDOM OR LOVE in depending on "JUST" church
doctrine or family traditions I don't care "HOW STRONG" your
family's history is.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A few years later, after I had this dream, I heard of a lady and man
(whom I know) told of a certain incident in this same church. They
were both elderly and her husband (who was not well) had fallen
down while coming out of the church on Sunday morning and
NOBODY stopped to help him up. She went to the pastor later
and later just left THAT church and went to a MUCH more loving
church (her testimony).
