WEARY IN AMERICA !
A word to the Christians in America.
I see much confusion coming forth from the Christian ‘prophetic’ in America.
I ‘hear’ more ‘positive confessions’ than ‘true prophecies’, in many. Some I read appear as personal dealings of the Lord, with that person, but such are being released, as ‘words to the Body’. Then there are the purely soulish emotional rantings and ravings of ‘wannabe prophets’.
It seems that they come to drown out the true exhortations (which include chidings) that God is Sending, NOT for the disobedient and rebellious, (stronger words are being sent for such as these) but the OBEDIENT, with hearts willing for the discipline of God.
It amazes me how much the Christian folk in America love ‘positive sound bytes’, so even God is being ‘compelled’ to Speak ‘positively'!
I am amazed at how many blatantly use a ‘Thus Says The Lord’, when they have not sat under His Counsel, to hear. IS THERE NO FEAR OF GOD?
Where did America pick up this strange theology that God does not Speak ‘negatively?’ That every word He Sends must be soothing, pampering, and must give us goose-bumps?
Our cultural preferences interfere and hinder the Work of God in our lives. Why are words, supposedly from the Lord, in these times, being engineered and edited, so as ‘not to give offense?’ Who are these wordsmiths? Are they true prophets?
The amount of time and energy that is spent in making ‘positive confessions’ and ‘declarations’, would be better and more fruitfully utilized by falling prostrate before the Lord in repentance, and yielding all of ourselves to Him.
As believers our national / social cultures are of no eternal value and are but enemies that can exalt themselves above God. It appears to me that ‘America is god’, to many of it’s citizens. GOD IS GOD. JESUS CHRIST IS THE KING OF KINGS, THE LORD OF LORDS.
Stop lusting after ‘positive words’ America! Seek the TRUTH. Because of this ‘lust for positive words’, many Christians in America are opening themselves up for the false and the mixed.
America, the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE, not ‘positive words’.
I am horror-struck at what I see, read and hear about what God is ‘supposedly’ Saying to such ‘prophets’ in America.
Why O Christians in America why? Why do so many of you prefer to trust in lies? What is so distasteful about the TRUTH?
Another strange thing I see is that the moment a true word of God arrives in America, there are ‘prophetic bandits’ who hijack the word and re-release it in a version all their own.
Frivolous activities and discussions are leading many to pat each other on the backs in America, in mutual admiration of their theologies. Where pray, is the time to intercede for a nation whose sores are wide and open?
WEARY WEARY WEARY
America is weary and will only weary others.
And Americans say they love their nation, they love their God!
Praise God for the remnant few in America, who see through all this and do not mingle with such filth.
The ‘prophetic’ in America will weary you and it will confuse you. Seek God, and be Guided by Him. America cannot feed itself. Much less others.
A time has come for America wherever they look, they will be surrounded by these ‘negative-looking’ judgments of God. STOP YOUR FOOLISH ‘POSITIVE CONFESSIONS AND DECLARATIONS AND FALSELY PROPHECYING OVER YOUR NATION’. For far too long your minds and mouths have been engaged in the frivolous, and in the boastful bragging of ‘heavenly encounters’, and neatly summarized doctrines and end-time theologies.
Just fall prostrate before the Lord, REPENT of your sins and those of your nation and seek His Mercy, and turn away from your vomit. Obey God. Submit to Him.
How long America? How long will you continue in your waywardness?
NATIONS! BEWARE what you ‘receive’ from America. Some of you may be thriving on donations and wares from such mixed ones in America, well be sure your ministries will go the ‘American-way’.

It is saddening and very frustrating how christians insist on 'nice positive words' from God. A church in tribulation and suffering longs for words of deliverance and hope from God. But the 'prosperous' American church wants continious gratification and more and more blessings to become richer and more prosperous and feel God is obliged to just provide. Sadly it's the general condition of the church here in South Africa as well.
We know God is good but to put words in His mouth is a terrible error. When He warns it is for our own good. How tragic if we reject the 'bad words' which is for our benefit, and insist on 'nice words' to our loss. Insanity.
thanks you're a blessing to me
