“”If your post “offends” me; will you pull it down?
If you are speaking what God has spoken (and it offends me); will you remove it?””
If the “misunderstanding” of what is being said redacts the document for everyone; now won’t everyone misunderstand?
Will they NEVER hear the truth in the first place?
Will the total meaning (of the truth, revelation, or prophecy) be lost on everyone; because of one person’s misunderstanding?
If it was your own word that you spoke; you should have remained quiet in the first place, prophet.
“”What if I simply don’t like what you have spoken? Will you “shut up” forever?””
If you do “shut up” (from speaking God’s Word); is that the Lord’s desire, or the enemy’s?
“”If I don’t like one post or “word” you have proclaimed (and you remove it); shouldn’t you be proactive and delete them all?””
The enemy sure would like to remove ANY record of our recorded good.
he would like to tear down everything we have built for God’s Kingdom.
Jesus said:
“If your eye offends, you should pluck it out.” (See Matthew 5:29)
Doesn’t this refer to the flesh holding us back; causing our stumbling?
Then why do we pluck out, or remove what has been given by God; because it offends someone’s flesh?!!!
If we remove what God has said, to make room for our flesh; we are definitely following a demonic idea, of pleasing the flesh and aborting the Word of God!
The Word of God brings correction, reproof, and encouragement (See 2 Timothy 3:16). Since people refuse correction and reproof; it is impossible for them to receive TRUE encouragement.
If it is a Word from God; that you have received:
Shout it out!
Make it plain! (No adding or subtracting)
Get it out there! (Yes this includes whatever media you have at your disposal: sermons, teachings, your small group, other Christian brothers and sisters in far away places, internet broadcasts, blogposts, tv, radio, and yes even social media feeds…just proclaim it!)
Don’t you know that:
“the Word of the Lord was rare in those days” (See 1 Samuel 3:1)?
Will you make It even rarer?
And whatever you do IF it IS a Word from the Lord:
Don’t remove, or edit It!
When we stand before Him; we will answer according to His Word given us, and our response to It.
If legitimate questions are raised; answer them as Holy Spirit gives you wisdom. If He gives you no response to the question asked; remain silent! If you made a syntax error, or truly misspoke in an area; then fix it!
Prophets & prophetic people…
NEVER and I say again; NEVER try blotting out a Word from God!
Prophets, by choosing your word over His; you are filling the vessel He has cleaned, with mud and dirt. You have become full of yourself! Our Elder Brother’s (Jesus’) example was this:
He emptied Himself! (See Philippians 2:7)
We know that God can use whatever vessel He chooses. We also know: the gifts and callings are without repentance (See Romans 11:29).
But…Will He choose a vessel full of itself?
Or will He choose one that allows His pure flow to have room to flow and remain uncontaminated? He has the freedom and the ability to choose whatever vessel He chooses!
He has consecrated us and purposed us in this:
“You, therefore, must be perfect [growing into complete maturity of godliness in mind and character, having reached the proper height of virtue and integrity], as your heavenly Father is perfect. [Lev. 19:2, 18.]” Matthew 5:48 AMPC
And…
“But as the One Who called you is holy, you yourselves also be holy in all your conduct and manner of living. For it is written, You shall be holy, for I am holy. [Lev. 11:44, 45.]” 1 Peter 1:15-16 AMPC
May we remain unwavering in our devotion to Him. Unmoved by the cries of the flesh. A Word from the Lord IS antithetical to our flesh! So of course the flesh is going to cry out. Death to the flesh is It’s purpose!
Never be intimidated, or let your obscurity affect the perspicuity God has given you!
Let your words fall to the ground; because His never will!
Don’t be the “one” caught trying to pull His Word down! You will only succeed in destroying yours!
