I will ask a question concerning Jade Stevens ' title of myself as a "self-proclaimed prophet." She is right that this is my proclamation, so the designation is accurate and fair.
However, in most, if not all cases, when a prophet came forth to speak the Word of God, who else proclaimed him to be sent of God? Nobody I know of other than when John the Immerser proclaimed Jesus, the Son of God, the Messiah, and Jesus bore witness of John? It was almost as though the prophets were on their own. God would have to give hearers the grace to believe. Invariably, He gave very few if any to believe.
I point this out because while Jade means well, I suspect she's unaware that in nominal Christendom, the term "self-proclaimed" infers that the prophet who declares himself a prophet of God is necessarily false.
They don't consider that all the prophets in the Scriptures confessed they were prophets of God, whether they were false or true.
Only of Jesus Christ did God bear witness personally to the people. Otherwise, He seldom if ever declared to the general public something along the lines of, "This is My man I'm sending you; listen up."
No, the man He sends will declare, "Thus says the Lord," and people will have to decide for themselves whether they will believe him or reject him. That is the Scriptural Testimony of how God works.
When people come with unbelief, evil intent, and false accusation saying, "He's a self-proclaimed prophet," and he is false, they have nothing to fear, but if he is true, as I am, then they have pronounced the death sentence on themselves.
"I will raise them up a prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put My Words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. And it shall come to pass, that whosoever will not hearken unto My Words which he shall speak in My Name, I will require it of him" Deuteronomy 18:18, 19.
Instead of saying of that messenger, "Blessed is he that comes in the Name of the Lord," they are truly saying, "Cursed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord." Cursing His messenger, they curse Him. Cursing God, they blaspheme and are cursed, even to the death.
I'm thankful Jade inadvertently brings up this point. It occasions important truth to be spoken for all to "be careful how they hear"... and speak.
