I am standing on God's word

Look y’all know I must speak what the LORD tells me even when I am not feeling it. Sometimes, I don’t want to do or say what the LORD has put in my spirit. But there are two things in this season particularly that God is not going to continue to tolerate. (1) A lying prophet – these include apostles. (2) A spirit who is quick about speaking evil towards his brother or sister (I’m speaking about those in the faith).

Now, this post is specifically directed toward a specific person. [I don’t know what this person calls themselves nowadays because this person keeps changing their titles (prophetic office) too often]. I guess it depends on which way the wind is blowing. At any rate, I’m purposely not stating the individual name, not out of fear or anything like that. But because God hasn’t released me to do so. But He is watching because this person will see this specific post. The LORD will assure of it.
​
With that being said. This is what the word of the LORD is saying to this particular person, but many of us can benefit from what is being said here today as well. 

Plagiarism – Taking Credit for what is not Yours
​

I stated in an April 1 post that no one can “claim or steal” God’s glory. “Claiming I did this or my ministry did that.” Or claiming to prophesy, I prophesy this and it resulted in XYZ. 🤨  “Only God is deserving of this glory…. Because His Son has already done it at the CROSS!!” 🙌✝

Despite that Jesus (the Son of God) has already done it. There are some who will scroll (or should I say troll) sites like Facebook, and see or suspect what may be going on in your life. And then foolishly declare to or about you – whether directly or indirectly. “I prophesy” and then declare a specific miracle (associated with what they read or know about your situation). Or make some vague or general declaration in hopes when things turn around for your situation, they can declare to those they know and even to you – see I told you. I prophesy concerning you. 🙄🤨😒😕
​
Most of us know what plagiarism is. Just in case you don’t. Plagiarism is when we claim we personally came up with an idea (or in this case) a prophetic word yourself when you did not. It is when one failed to acknowledge their dependence on someone’s else work (or in this case) upon the LORD. When a person refuses to give proper credit or thanks to the person who originally engineered an idea (or in this case) God reveals or provides one with prophetic wisdom or knowledge concerning a matter he or she would not otherwise have known. Too many do this in ministry, especially relating to divine revelation or prophetic words. (Compare to Jeremiah 23:30-31; also see Ezekiel 7:3; 12:24). Just like some are robbing the House of God by means of their tithe and offering. There are prophets and some apostles that are robbing God of His due credit when giving prophetic words in exchange for gaining their own glory and self-promotion. (Compare to Malachi 3:8).

God’s delivERing power
​

Look! I really don’t know what God is going to do in my case. But I am standing on His Word. I am trusting He will be faithful to His Word because I have been faithful to Him. “Pure” as He often calls me.
​
I do feel similar to the three Hebrew boys situation, who were about to be thrown into the fiery burning furnace for refusing to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue and worship it. At Daniel chapter 3, verse 17, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego said to the king.
​

“… Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, o king.” 
​

​So, they knew that their God was able. And they were confident that He would do it in their case. Why?

1. God is just (compare to Isaiah 55:10-11; Exodus 15:26; John 17:17).
2. The three Hebrew boys were obedient to all of God’s statutes and decrees. They were observing all of God’s commands. Obeying His voice and not that of man. Therefore, they met God’s condition for blessings. They qualified and were eligible to receive all of God’s blessings stated at Deuteronomy 28:1-14. This includes being delivered from the hands of the evil one and the instruments he uses (2 Thessalonians 3:3; Psalm 91:1-16; 2 Timothy 2:18; Romans 19:12). 

​​Now, as confident the three Hebrew boys were about God being able to deliver them. They knew there was a small chance God wouldn’t do it. So, this is what they said in agreement concerning this possibility. 
​

​“But if not, let it be known to you, o king, that we do not serve your gods, nor will we worship the gold image which you set up.” (Daniel 3:18)
​

To them, even if God did not rescue them. They were going to be obedient to the Word of the LORD no matter what.

Now, we know the king did throw them in the furnace. (See verses 20-23 of Daniel chapter 3). But what happened next left the king and those watching, which included all the king’s servants and the entire nation of Israel (God’s people) to be amazed by man’s power? No, God’s delivering power. They all saw in the furnace with the three Hebrew boys another image (a fourth person). (See verses 24-25 of Daniel chapter 3).

God sent His angel to deliver the three Hebrew boys from the hands of the king. (See verses 26-30). God did not send another man or woman with a prophetic word to save them. Instead, by means of His Spirit, He sent His angel to recuse them.
​
Throughout this process, the three Hebrew boys did not declare that one of them would come up with a plan to escape the hands of the king. Nor did they or anyone else declare that some other man or woman will come along to do it. They put their complete trust in God. Because they knew He was able and capable to do it. The three Hebrew boys had no interest in trying to take or steal God’s credit or glory. They knew, if it happened, only God was deserving of such credit – not even God’s angel dared to declare He did in His own strength or will. And the people acknowledge this too as well. The king, his guards, and all of God’s people had to relent, repent, and acknowledge God’s glory. The deliverance power of God on behalf of the three Hebrew boys. 
​

God does not need man but chooses to use them 
​

Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrew 13:8). He does not need help to deliver His people from the grip of the evil one and the instruments he uses. Because He has already done it at the cross through His Son Jesus. And yet, God chooses to use man anyways. We have to take in consideration Genesis chapter 1, verses 26-28, where God has given “dominion to man over all living things.” Then there is Psalm 115:16, which says that the heavens belong to God, but the earth He has given to the children of men. Then there is men like Moses, whom God chose to use, to deliver His entire nation, Israel, from the grip of Pharaoh (Exodus chapters 5 through 12; also see Exodus chapters 3 and 4).
​
It is within God’s right to choose to use a man or woman to assist Him in delivering His people - and this includes cases like miracles such as healing. But when God chooses to use someone, that person is chosen and knows beforehand. (Compare to Exodus chapters 3 and 4; Amos 3:7).  Not after the fact or after coming across or learning about a matter much later. It is God who reveals all matters to those whom He trusts as His prophets. And yet, there are some prophets who are trying to steal God’s glory by prophesizing this or that miracle based on information they have gathered and not a true word or revelation from God. Attempting to declare credit that they would not otherwise have known if it was not for them trolling social media accounts for details. This is witchcraft – practicing sorcery. Please stop trying to steal the Father’s glory. 
​

let the record show
​

For instance, in my case, God has already done it at the cross. And if God wants to share his credit (i.e. glory) with another, it is He that will point out to whom is deserving. It is a sin on our part to try to declare what God has done for our own self-promotion or ministry. If anyone is deserving of what He is about to do in my case. No one is more deserving than my ministry partner, Felicia Crawford, who has prayed over me day and night. She probably wants my healing more than I. No one has clearly and directly received a Word from the LORD concerning me and my health than she. And she is the only one that has legitimately prophesied the Word of the LORD concerning my situation beforehand and not after the fact. And I know, with all that being said and all she has done on my behalf, she still will not dare proclaim credit for what the LORD has already done and will do in my case.

Yet, let the record show. If God does not act on my behalf for some odd reason. I am taking the same position as the three Hebrew boys. I will not compromise by not trusting what the LORD has prophesied in my case or spoken in His Word. I trust Him and my life is in His hand. And He will not allow another prophet to declare in my case beforehand what He has not revealed to them so that they can get His glory.
​
So, as prophets and apostles, we need to be careful and beware of what we declare, especially if the LORD has not spoken a thing to us. We need to stop trolling other people’s social platforms and then declaring, that the LORD is about to… - and declaring we have foreknowledge about something when we do not. That is lying, stealing, and declaring the Father has revealed something to you when He has not.
