Let’s talk about prophecy and the prophetic - Compelling Scripture
Let’s talk about prophecy and the prophetic. As of late, the enemy has launched a spiritual attack and most don’t realize this is a spiritual war, so they are looking at the natural circumstances and formulating erroneous opinions.
A spiritual battle cannot be won with natural weapons, therefore, don’t warfare (fight) by arguing opinion against opinion, warfare by declarations in which scripture is confessed and declared. I have said it over and over and over again, with the things of God, opinions don’t matter. Only truth, the truth of God’s Holy Word is what matters.
So you need to know the Word. The bible tells us such in 1 Peter 3:15:
1 Peter 3:15
15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear;
But look at this same scripture in the Message Bible translation which uses more common language to make it understandable.
1 Peter 3:15-18
The Message
13-18 If with heart and soul you’re doing good, do you think you can be stopped? Even if you suffer for it, you’re still better off. Don’t give the opposition a second thought. Through thick and thin, keep your hearts at attention, in adoration before Christ, your Master. Be ready to speak up and tell anyone who asks why you’re living the way you are, and always with the utmost courtesy. Keep a clear conscience before God so that when people throw mud at you, none of it will stick. They’ll end up realizing that they’re the ones who need a bath. It’s better to suffer for doing good, if that’s what God wants, than to be punished for doing bad. That’s what Christ did definitively: suffered because of others’ sins, the Righteous One for the unrighteous ones. He went through it all—was put to death and then made alive—to bring us to God.
We must be able to not only know and understand scripture but speak it with understanding. No one should knock on your residential door and try to convert you to their beliefs in their God and you cannot rebuttal them because you don’t know. Or at the very least, you don’t know enough to share it with them.
For example, it is not that Christians are judging homosexuals or discriminating against them, at least they shouldn’t be, the truth is that they must learn how to say it in such a way to win over the lost. There is a wisdom is winning souls and getting people to turn away from their sin. We must compel souls with love and the truth of God’s Holy Word.
Proverbs 11:30
30 The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life,
And he who wins souls is wise.
Beating anyone over the head with condemnation is not the way. That’s just not the way. If you win a soul to Christ, it is more than getting a person to accept Christ by confession of their mouth, they must live a life of righteousness, that means a way pleasing to God. And that does not mean a sin-free life. We ALL have sinned, and will sin, but our heart no longer desires to sin. And when we do sin, we don’t make excuses for the sin; we genuinely are repentant and want to do better. That is the way of righteousness.
How about if we just point out to them scripture and what it says about homosexuality and a few other sins that make Hell definite. By the way homosexuality is listed as an abomination because it goes against the original instruction God gave mankind when He created mankind in Genesis:
Genesis 1:28
28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it
Two men cannot reproduce and multiply and fill the earth nor can two women. That’s the bottom line, whether you like it or not. And the bible is clear it is an unnatural use of the body:
Romans 1:26-28
26 For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. 27 Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due.
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting;
The Lord God loves the sinner (Romans 5:8 - 8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ) He hates the sin, and is very clear in His Word, you have a free will, but will be judged for that which is outside of His will. It’s not debatable.
So, now let’s talk briefly about prophecy. Briefly, because I go in depth in my books, which by the way are on the way to the marketplace, beginning with Amazon, but it is a great task, for there are six in total and two of those have to get to print production. These blogs are a means to feed the sheep spiritual food to hold you over until the next teaching.
I will now present a very controversial topic, but it sets the stage for a good example to understanding prophecy and the prophetic.
First of God created the earth, and everything in it. And as soon as sin entered in, the darkness that covered the earth began operating as evil in mankind. But Father God allowed it because He gave us a free will, the choice to choose Him and to live for righteousness. And just because He allows it does not mean it is His will. And there is no such thing as God having two wills: one being His will and the other being His permissive will. That is not scriptural, what is scriptural is that He has a will. And either we are in His will or we are not. Because He allows us to choose does not mean that it is His will by permission.
And do not believe otherwise. He gave us the scriptures to guide us here on earth as to what is His will and what it is not.
Still talking about prophecy, just giving some background along the way; as the Apostle said many times throughout scripture, “I would not have you to be ignorant (ignorant meaning to lack knowledge.)
The United States of America was founded on Christian principles that the founding fathers of this nation made in covenant (contractual agreement) with The Lord God. And as long as this nation has held up to its end of the covenant, this nation has been blessed.
Through the years, there have been those that have attempted to come into power and authority in this nation and lead this country outside of the original covenant that it has with the Lord. For example, the Gaza Strip is land that the Lord gave in covenant to the twelve tribes of Israel in scripture and although in modern day, the Palestinians have laid claim to it, they have been unable to obtain it and anytime anyone, including American presidents, have tried to intervene and strong arm Israel into giving up that land, it did not work. And it will never work. For a detailed account of each time America has gone against Israel, especially concerning the Gaza Strip, read “As America has Done to Israel” by John McTernan. One example is President Bill Clinton. When he was in negotiations (more like admonishing Israel as to why they are not being fair to the Palestinians about the Gaza Strip) the Monica Lewinski scandal broke! We cannot go against the will of God!
So when we elect politicians we need to be more concerned with where they stand concerning the covenant this nation has with The Lord God. Not based on their personality and how they come across. (I will be the first of many to say, President Trump didn’t have the most eloquent or professional way of speaking. In fact, sometimes it was just downright crass). That is a trick of the enemy. Remember we are fighting a spiritual battle, but Satan is cunning and very wise, he knows to appeal to your emotions and he gets you every time, because you will get offended and react based upon your emotions. So you are losing spiritual battles because you can’t get past you.
But what you should look towards is where they stand on the things of God. Because we have to be careful who we choose to lead us as a nation that is founded on Christian principles. Jeremiah 22 illustrates God’s judgment against evil kings and the nations they governed. (Biblical examples: from https://salvationcall.com/wicked-kings/)
Hazael, king of Syria
Benhadad, king of Syria, was sick in Damascus. When he heard that Elisha, the prophet, has come to Damascus, he sent Hazael to enquire of the Lord by him whether he would recover or not. When Hazael came to enquire of the Lord, Elisha answered and said to him, “Go, say unto him (Benhadad), Thou mayest certainly recover: howbeit the LORD hath shewed me that he shall surely die”. After answering Benhadad, he, Elisha, burst into tears before Hazael. Then Hazael asked humbly why he is weeping; and Elisha answered him, “Because I know the evil that thou wilt do unto the children of Israel: their strong holds wilt thou set on fire, and their young men wilt thou slay with the sword, and wilt dash their children, and rip up their women with child”. You can be sure that Hazael committed all those atrocities
to the later because it was God who revealed it to Elisha. All these callous deeds of Hazael foretold by Elisha came to pass through war and conquest – 2 Kings 10:32; 12:17; 13:3,7.
Menahem, king of Israel
King Menahem, son of Gadi, conspired against King Shallum. He went up from Tirzah to kill King Shallum in Samaria and usurped the throne. Afterward, the Bible says that King Menahem attacked Tiphsah; that is those in the city and its vicinity; because they refused to open the gates of their city to him, neither did they submit to him as a conqueror nor receive him as their king. King Menahem, therefore, attacked the city of Tiphsah; worse yet, he, like Hazael, cut open the bellies of all pregnant women in Tiphzah and its vicinity, killing the mother and the unborn baby. Perhaps, by committing this barbarity he thought to terrify the whole kingdom, that none might dare to rebel against him. Just like Hazael, King Menahem is counted among wicked kings. Bible reference 2 Kings 15:16
Saul, king of Israel
It is very sad that, though King Saul started well as a humble man, he degenerated later to become a tyrant and a vicious manhunter who destroyed the lives of many. King Saul was a Benjaminite and the son of Kish. His sense of insecurity and his fit of jealousy and hatred for David drove him to commit serious atrocities against innocent people. King Saul was told by Doeg, the Edomite, that David had been to Nob and the priest Ahimelech had helped him, giving him provisions and the sword of Goliath and inquiring of the Lord for him. On hearing that, King Saul sent for Ahimelech and his entire family, the household of his father Ahitub; and they came to Saul at Gibeah. And King Saul, after interrogating them, commanded Doeg, the Edomite, to kill them. And Doeg fell on Ahimelech and the entire members of his family – the household of Ahitub, killing eighty-five priests on that day. That still did not quench Saul’s thirst for revenge; further, Saul attacked Nob, the city of the priests, and put to the sword both men and women, children and infant, oxen, donkeys, and sheep. Only Abiathar the son of Ahimelech escaped the massacre to inform David. Such a wicked deed makes King Saul a wicked king. Bible reference 1 Samuel 22:6–19.
Herod the Great, king of Judea
When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem to seek him for they have seen his star and they have come to worship him. When Herod the king heard these things, he was troubled. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where the Christ would be born. And they said to him that the Christ would be born in Bethlehem of Judaea. Then King Herod sent the wise men to Bethlehem and told them that if they find Jesus they should come back to inform him of his whereabouts so that he too would go to worship. Then the wise men left for Bethlehem. Eventually, they found Jesus. However, having been warned in a dream, they did not go back to inform King Herod of the whereabouts of the child but departed to their own country another way. Then King Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, became furious, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under at the time. Even today, King Herod is still remembered as the wicked king who committed the atrocity of ordering the killing of children on a large scale. Hence he is counted among the wicked kings in the Bible. Bible reference Matthew 2:1–18
Manasseh, king of Judah
King Manasseh was the son and successor of King Hezekiah. He reigned for fifty-five years, making him the longest-serving king of all the kings of the kingdom of Israel and the kingdom of Judah. However, the Bible testifies against him to be the worse of all the kings of these two kingdoms. During his reign, Judah relapsed deeply into idolatry, unlike anything seen before. King Manasseh displeased God with his sins of idolatry and violence; in that he murdered many innocent people in Jerusalem to such an extent that the Bible figuratively testifies, saying, “Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; …” (2 Kings 21:16). He was, obviously, a very wicked king.” Bible reference 2 Kings 21:1–18
Sidneote: from now on, how about if you visit congress.gov and actually read and make informed decisions about who you are voting for if you call yourself a Christian, a follower of Christ. This website, tells you the bills that have been passed and supported by which elected official. It gives a wealth of information on what is happening in Congress. The Bible says:
Hosea 4:6
New King James Version
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge,
I also will reject you from being priest for Me;
Because you have forgotten the law of your God,
I also will forget your children.
This last presidential election was controversial. And the Prophets were speaking and saying President Donald Trump would win the election and return to office for another four more years. And I say to you emphatically, Donald Trump did win the election and there was corruption concerning this election and the prophecy has not finished playing out. There has been censorship to cover this up from the start. The state of Georgia sent out the results of the voter audit that was conducted to prove there was no voter fraud in Georgia. Guess what? I voted for Donald Trump and the state audit not only indicated that I did not vote in the general election, but also admonished me for not exercising my right to vote! That happened to several people I know. Say what you want, but aside from the spiritual aspect, I have the natural proof, my vote in the general election was not counted.
Don’t take my word or any prophets word, most think we all missed it anyway. I strongly urge you to just watch and pray. I cannot speak to when it’s all said and done if Donald Trump will sit in the presidency another four years, but I can say what Father revealed to me as His prophet. The sin will be exposed. It was His will for Donald Trump to remain president because, like him or not, he was restoring this nation back to the Christian principles it was founded upon. And nowhere have I said that Donald Trump is a Christian, nor have I have said he is without flaws and imperfections. He was just the person Father supernaturally chose to carry out a specific task to set this country back on track. Vote for whoever you feel lead to vote for, again, my calling is to teach and point you towards scriptures. You have a choice, Father God gave us all free will. Choose wisely. I don’t argue about politics or voting so no need to get defensive or on the offense. Hell is full of people saying “I didn’t know, …if only God would have sent someone to tell me I would have listened…” we know that is not true because God does put people in our path to share with us and many get offended and don’t want to hear it. But at the very least, when you leave this earth and end up where you will be for eternity, you will be without excuse. And no, God was not in that attack on the Capital. That is not His nature. Know the God you serve, people! Not what you heard about Him but what you have experienced in your personal walk and your personal relationship with Him.
Further, the enemy made certain that the first week of this new president in office - a whopping 21 Executive Orders he signed undoing most of what the former president did. To give you some understanding to the magnitude of that: (excerpt from FEBRUARY, 2021 Dr. James Dobson Calls Out President Biden's Radical Executive Orders https://www.drjamesdobson.org/newsletters/february-newsletter-2021-0?utm_campaign=2021%20February%20NL&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-8soDVpOMqfFeKi3gXBlNSYRS8ipOdppbJqsv_T5d52nhYhgQfMHw2ZATFxZ5fkHOIeLEa5oygIbhmRjXktIB-InU3FdA&_hsmi=110349453&utm_content=110349453&utm_source=hs_email&hsCtaTracking=fc50e458-601a-4329-ba48-833cc28e340f%7C2fc0c051-1aa7-4cf8-b2f5-de4b6f42244 9)
Compare that to the record of his predecessors:
• Donald Trump: signed 4 executive orders in the first week
• Barack Obama: signed 5 executive orders in the first week
• George W. Bush: signed 0 executive orders in the first week
• Bill Clinton: signed 2 executive orders in the first week
• George Bush Sr.: signed 1 executive order in the first week
• Ronald Reagan: signed 0 executive orders in the first week
• Jimmy Carter: signed 1 executive order in first the week
The beat goes on. By the end of January, eleven days into his presidency, Biden had signed 42 executive orders.
We are in a spiritual warfare. You all better get beyond the whining “Donald Trump is racist…”, and all the other fleshly complaints and pray in earnest and ask Father God what is His will for this nation. Because I promise His will is not to have His people fund abortion listed under the guise of “planned parenthood” which sounds so much more palatable then infanticide (killing unborn babies, or giving partial birth to a live infant and then murdering it).
Now, here is why I said let’s’ talk about prophecy and the prophetic.
The mistake many make is once the prophecy has been spoken, they formulate in their mind how and when it will play out. Do not do that! As soon as the prophecy is spoken, the spiritual warfare begins!
1 Timothy 1:18
Fight the Good Fight
18 This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare,
There is a battle that is waged in the spirit realm, the realm we cannot see. And we are not given prophecy in its entirety, we only see what the Lord allows us to see, and seasoned mature prophets know to say ONLY say what God said, and that’s it. Don’t make up the rest or conjecture as to what it means. And please don’t ask us over and over, we tell you what we can, based upon what the Lord allows or reveals to us.
By the way, if you are one of those deceived into believing prophets were only during the days the Bible was written, you may as well exit my website and never return, because you can’t handle Biblical Truth and are not ready for the meat of the Word, you are still a baby needing milk. This ministry is not for you.
1 Corinthians 13:9
New King James Version
9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
Also, concerning prophecy, very rarely are we given a specific time and/or date. Therefore, if it didn’t happen when you thought it should, does not mean it was false prophecy. Noah prophesied about the flood for well over a hundred years, and the people laughed and scorned him. But he continued to build the ark because he knew what Father God told him! We as prophets are the same, we know what The Lord said, and our obligation is to say it. Not try to prove it or make it happen. And shame on those who mock or make fun of what they don’t understand. Those laughing at Noah, drowned! Can you imagine when the rain began and would not stop?
I imagine we are about to experience the supernatural hand of God in a way many weren’t prepared for, because although Father God warned us through His prophets, the media refuted the prophets and said they missed and were wrong. And then only reported what they wanted the masses to know. Such is the way the anti-christ is going to come. He will come with pleasing words and use them to deceive many.
Let’s pray, we are not stuck with the leadership the minority chose and as a result are a nation under judgment, but if we are, The Lord will have mercy on those whose hearts are right towards Him. Better yet, let’s just pray God’s will be done.
Matthew 6:9-13
New King James Version
9 In this manner, therefore, pray:
Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.
For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
Matthew 6:9-13
New Century Version
9 So when you pray, you should pray like this:
‘Our Father in heaven,
may your name always be kept holy.
10 May your kingdom come
and what you want be done,
here on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us the food we need for each day.
12 Forgive us for our sins,
just as we have forgiven those who sinned against us.
13 And do not cause us to be tempted,
but save us from the Evil One.’ [The kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours forever. Amen.]
Matthew 6:9-13
The Message Bible
7-13 “The world is full of so-called prayer warriors who are prayer-ignorant. They’re full of formulas and programs and advice, peddling techniques for getting what you want from God. Don’t fall for that nonsense. This is your Father you are dealing with, and he knows better than you what you need. With a God like this loving you, you can pray very simply. Like this:
Our Father in heaven,
Reveal who you are.
Set the world right;
Do what’s best—
as above, so below.
Keep us alive with three square meals.
Keep us forgiven with you and forgiving others.
Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil.
You’re in charge!
You can do anything you want!
You’re ablaze in beauty!
Yes. Yes. Yes.
Grace and Peace Be Upon You.
In Christ’s Love,
Apostle & Prophetess Wendy Connor
