Thus says the Lord

[Keraz]

Thus says The Lord to all diviners, false prophets and dreamers of dreams, even to all who speak falsely in My name, sharing visions of escape and avoidance of testing:

You shall by no means escape the Day of The Lord’s anger when it comes, for you have caused My people to err. You have led them astray with lies, by many false theories and by your false visions have you caused them to stumble into darkness. Deceptive dreams and delusions brought forth from your own imaginations, all in all doctrines of demons which blaspheme My name and denigrate the truth of who I am.
But; are you ashamed of all these abominations, which you have propagated before the people? No! You are not ashamed, nor does it cause you to blush!

Therefore you shall be the first to fall among those who fall; in the time of your punishment you shall surely be cast down! Says The Lord. For wrath has indeed entered My heart, and My anger is increased on your account!... Yet My anger is justified and MY judgment righteous! For that which I see is the whole truth, nothing is hidden from My eyes! Indeed, I know the hearts of both those who deceive and those being deceived. I AM THE LORD.

Therefore, thus says The Lord God: Be struck down, all you deceivers! Every one, from the deceiver to those perpetuating these deceptions, shall be struck on the top of their heads! Yet; let not those being deceived perish; rather let them be humbled in the Day of The Lord. For the discipline of The Lord shall teach them, and My stern correction shall open their eyes in the Day of Darkness... For The Holy One of Israel is great in power and mighty to save, bursting all bonds asunder, breaking every chain which holds My people captive! Then they will know, I AM THE LORD, and they shall turn away from all these perverse doctrines and reject all these evil fables. For in that day they shall come to see Me as I truly am, declares The Lord.


But look upon all these who continue to teach and promote these corrupt doctrines and false visions; Look, My name is greatly blasphemed among the nations because of them.
From the overbearing church leader to the sanctimonious priest,
From the high-minded scholar to the braggart preacher,
From the self-righteous pastor to the arrogant, Rabbi,
Before Me stands a whole multitude of deceived teachers
Who know neither Me nor My Word.


The veil remains fastened securely atop their heads, and the darkness of their shame covers them, for they lack understanding! They love to condemn their enemies and take much pleasure in passing judgment against their neighbor. For their hearts are full of hate and the spirit of Cain rules over them; a most foolish and ignorant generation, multitudes of prideful people who refuse knowledge and reject correction, they are a people destined for wrath. I DO NOT KNOW THEM! Neither has The Holy Spirit entered in.
Shall I not repay? Wait for the Day: I shall surely reckon with them, for they have robbed Me! Says The Lord.

Is it a light thing to The Lord, that they have gone out polluting My Name as they attempt to cast a shadow over My glory?

Is it a small thing to Me, that My sheep are led into the wilderness by all these self-appointed shepherds, by these false prophets and teachers among the flock, all these so-called dreamers of dreams, leaving them lost and without understanding, with no lamp to guide them?! Shall I leave My children to die in this darkness, trapped by all these deceivers? Shall I leave them as prey for the wolves of the wilderness, afar off, separated from God, destitute of daily Spiritual food? Behold, I shall feed them! Even I, Myself, shall give them food and drink! Says The Lord. And lo, they shall be set free to serve in My name, once again. Oh yes, they shall serve Me in truth and faithfulness’ and keep My Commandments, as they testify to The Salvation of God; by their righteous lives. .
But, those self-appointed shepherds shall fall, and the false prophets and wicked peoples shall become ashes beneath the feet of My witnesses in the Day of The Lord’s fiery vengeance and wrath.

The pastors shall become slaves, every dreamer shall be ridiculed and put to shame, the breath of every sorcerer taken, with every false prophet brought down into silence, their inheritance removed. Every false prophet who continues to speak lies in My name shall surely die. They shall not be lifted up, nor shall they pollute My name or attempt to steal from My glory, anymore.

For fierce is My anger against them, and thus shall I pour out My indignation upon them!

Thus says the Lord God of Hosts:
I am The Lord, and My ways are not human ways,
For My mercy endures forever, and My anger has an end...

Those who highly esteem themselves shall be broken in pieces,
And those who profess themselves to be wise shall be made fools

Indeed, the self-appointed shall fall hard upon their faces, severely shamed,
For by no other means shall they be brought into perfection...

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall no more be remembered: and also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.
And it shall come to pass, that when any shall yet prophesy, then his father and his mother that begat him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for thou speakest lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother that begat him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision, when he hath prophesied; neither shall they wear a rough garment to deceive:
But he shall say, I am no prophet, I am an husbandman; for man taught me to keep cattle from my youth.

its happening in the western prosperity churches right at this moment, daystar and others like it. Maybe a component of the great falling away, which will likely be multifacte and will help usher in the systems of control as people look for a savior, of course we know it will be a false one. Get ready, trim your wicks and fill your oil.

And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will persuade him.
And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.
(1 Kings 22:21,22)

They could not distinguish the substitution of the spirit. Why did God allow these prophets to be deceived like that?

Now therefore send, and gather to me all Israel unto mount Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table.
(1 Kings 18:19)

the prophets of the groves four hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. - They were fed at the table of this world, not at the table of God. Today's false prophets are fed by the lawless tithes that are arbitrarily taken by self-appointed leaders.

FALSE PROPHETS
{Extracts from 'The Prophetic Call' by Art Katz}

In Jeremiah chapter 23:1-32, God gives us a powerful statement about true and false prophets. Talk about an indictment! It is one thing to have Judgment against nations, but when you begin to indict the prophets of God, when the loftiest and the noblest thing has become the most profane, then that is a profound statement of the low condition of a nation prior to its judgment.

The prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule on their own authority; and My people love it that way! Jeremiah 5:31a
It is remarkable how self-serving this reciprocal thing is between heads of movements or fellowships and the false teachers, and how comfortable they are with one another and how they affirm one another. The people are in an unspoken agreement with their ministers: "You present a biblical message. We will pay the bill and have a Sunday service that will leave our lives free from any kind of demand that would really affect our true vested interest and lifestyles. We don't want a message that is going to challenge where our heart really is. We want to be able to say, 'Amen' and 'We've been to church'"-and that kind of thing. As the priest, so also the people. As the pastor/preacher, so also the congregation. It is into that situation we have now come to: 2 Peter 2:1-3 In the past there were false prophets, now there are false teachers among you. They will gain many adherents to their destructive theories, bringing the Way of truth into disrepute. In their greed for money and adulation, they will trade on peoples credulity with complete fabrications.

Therefore their way will be like slippery paths to them, they will
be driven away into the gloom and fall in it; for I shall bring calamity
upon them, the year of their punishment, declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:12

This confirms that there is not an immediate judgment, but that there is an appointed time in which God judges those that profane His house; those who may have originally had authentic and holy callings. That may well be why the Lord is allowing to continue that which is now being called prophetic and is so popular, but for them, as with the priests and prophets of old, there will be a year of visitation or a time when God will bring them all to judgement.
There is a consequence for false prophecy. For the preacher of it; James 3:1, and for the believer of it, for being taken in by the ‘nice’ outcomes, that are taught, when what the Bible prophets actually wrote, is quite different.
Thus says the LORD of hosts, 'Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you...' Jeremiah 23:15-16a
Jesus said: Do not be deceived…Matthew 24:4


Notice that God still calls them prophets. It may be because the gifts and callings of God are irrevocable. They still retain their official title, but what they are performing under that title is in God's sight an abomination. There is nothing more profane than when the sacred is no longer authentically sacred. When we take the sacred phrase, 'Thus says the Lord' and merely employ it as a device to win the attention of our hearers, then we are desecrating the sacred. We are making the sacred profane and if we are not as a godly people setting forth the distinction between the profane and the sacred, how different are we to the rest of the world? The ramifications of what we are talking about are beyond any full understanding at present.
Jeremiah 23:16b-17They keep saying to those who don’t bother to read the Word for themselves: 'The Lord has said: You will have peace' and as for everyone who follow their stubborn hearts, they say: 'Calamity will not come upon you.'
This must be the very quintessence of what a false prophet is, namely, the giving of a false comfort and a false assurance of peace that does not regard the truth of the difficulties that need to be faced. It is an unwillingness to bring a hard word. The things that are preached are normally flattering and encouraging to the flesh, rather than challenging or threatening. False prophets prophesy peace when the world is in turmoil! 'Calamity will not come upon you' and ‘God will take you to heaven’, is sadly the kind of statement that is coming from today’s pulpits, especially among Christians of the Western world. They are giving false security to their flock.

But who has stood in the council of the LORD...? Jeremiah 23:18
God requires still that His prophetic people be in His presence. I do not see many in the earth today who are in this place. What then shall we say for all the so called; prophets that have arisen in recent years for there are many who profess to be prophets, but are they really hearing the council of God? Not likely, as evidenced by how they all have a different interpretation of the Prophetic Word. God's judgment is severe on those who say: this is God’s word, but it is of their own volition.
We can know when the Word is from the council of God because it has a beneficial effect. It will affect the nation or fellowship in turning it toward God, rather than away from Him and from their wrongful ways and practices.
Watchmen; Jeremiah 31:6, are called to come into that whole scenario and bring the Sword of the Lord, and the fear of the Lord, and the truth of Scripture to people who have been long spoiled by pastors and writers of things like Prosperity theology and the rapture to heaven doctrine, that every one of us has been exposed to by preaching, books and the media, often ignoring scriptural truths. This is why we have so much controversy over what God actually does intend for His people and why God will soon take action to change everything.

THEN My people will see and hear clearly….they will finally understand and know the truth. Isaiah 32:3-4, Jeremiah 23:20

There are false teachers. We are told there would be: 2 Timothy 4:3-4
The false teacher speaks words of comfort when God would not have His people to be comforted, but to be stirred up. True prophets and watchmen who promote the Prophetic Word have to bear the reprisal, the rejection and the mortification of that word coming back into their own teeth. Prophetic anguish is to present the word of God and then to have it refused, but other doctrines believed. It is mortifying and the opposite of the joy and the gratification that comes when the word of God flows out of you and into the people who are receiving it. That is like tonic for your soul. We have to be as willing for the one as the other, or we will not speak the Words of truth, but we must warn people, whether they accept it or not. Ezekiel 3:1-6
