Silencing the Prophets

By Les Stone Published 07/14/2008

I had a preacher tell me once that any time I ran into a spirit of control, be

it on a government official, a saint, a sinner or a preacher, that it was

demonic.

As a movement we have supressed the prophetic voice of God in our

churches with programs and formalities for years. Only a few of our

churches have had ministry that let the Spirit lead their churches. The rest

seem content to follow what ever falls to them out of their organizational

headquarters, or whatever they plan for each service in advance.

Get ready Pentecost. It's coming. If God has to shatter every single one of

our organizations seperately and bring us down to nothing so that we learn

humility, unity, consecration and to reject the respect of persons, he will do

so. For over 30 years we have refused to work together as a whole, UPCI,

ALJC, PAW, Independants, etc., calling each other backslide, not holding to

holiness, legalists, I've heard it all. Now hear the word of the Lord. I will not

give MY GLORY to another!

The American Apostolic churches have been given a space of time to

repent. 2007 is over. Prepare for the judgment of God on the body of Christ

first. We have political power-players, envy, disunity, strife, bitterness,

hatefullness, men in pulpits that should be in pews and vice versa. God is

going to strip the American church. He's already sent men and women

among us as messengers to tell us to get right, restoring and activating ministries long dormant.

We are getting ready to see something we have never even dreamed of. It

has never even crossed our minds. As with Ananias and Sapphira, we are

getting ready to cart out the bodies of those who have withstood the move

of God in our churches for over 40 years.

I know that some of our movements don't preach against TV, but the UPC

just voted on broadcasting their last General Conference down in Tampa.

God's getting ready to make your whole multi-year debate over the subject

look like a fool's errand. You won't be able to beat the TV crews out of out

churches when God gets done.
