Word of God : the cleansing Fire
Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of My pasture! Says the Lord” Jeremiah23:1.
Here we see the heart of God for His people; how He is disappointed at the messengers ;the prophets and priests , who have failed to communicate His word correctly to His people. Infact , they spoke from their own imaginations…”Thus says the Lord of Hosts: Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you.
They lead you into vanity; they speak a vision of their own heart and not out of the mouth of the Lord. They still say to those who despise Me, ‘The Lord has said,’ You will have peace’ “; and they say to everyone who walks after the imagination of his own heart, “No evil will come upon you.” ‘ Jeremiah 23:16-18. “
I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran. I have NOT spoken to them, yet they prophesied.” Jeremiah 23:21.
Have we gone after such prophets? Such prophecies? Have we been such prophets? Are you running as a prophet because of the calling of God or not? Let us repent! Turn around and seek God’s face instead!
God is looking for people who will stand in His presence to get the undiluted word from His mouth , let the word work in their lives, and speak it to His people.
“But if they had stood in My counsel and had caused My people to hear My words, then they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds” Jerm 23:22
This is how powerful the word of God is! The undiluted word!
“The prophet who has a dream, let him tell his dream. And he who has My word, let him speak My word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? Says the Lord. Is not My word like fire, says the Lord, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? “Jeremiah 23:29
I have experiences , especially in troop churches, where the prophetic word of God spoken by His child brought edification, rectification in my life, and love and passion for the Lord my God. It brought healing and deliverance in Jesus name!
