Lessons Learned From the Recent Prophetic Roller Coaster
Debrief — Lessons Learned From the Recent Prophetic Roller Coaster
The LORD gave me this Word today from Jeremiah 23:32,
“Behold, I am against those who have prophesied false dreams,” and led My people astray by their lies and reckless boasting; yet I did not send them nor command them, nor do they provide this people the slightest benefit,” declares the LORD.”
As we know, many innocent Christians bought into the false propaganda and lies spewed by many fleshly leaders after the US 2020 Elections.
These Christians were like the infants mentioned by Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4:14 – tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.
It’s time for the Church to grow up and not appear ignorant in front of the world.
We have to become a mature company of believers who not only have the prophetic outlook, but also the capacity to process the ways of God.
We have to be like Daniel, full of Wisdom and Understanding and able to process prophecy and prophetic timelines according to The Wisdom of God, while restraining our tongues and fleshly attitudes.
We can learn from this account, that reckless boasting using the name of prophecy, is not from God.
As Jeremiah 23:32 points out – these carnal dreamers used reckless boasting to lead people astray.
We saw a lot of arrogance from the propagandists as if they were going to take this by might. But people who thought this were so sadly mistaken.
The LORD wants our attitudes to be one of humility especially when we receive a word of prophecy.
The best example we can learn from is Mary, the mother of Jesus where it is written of her in Luke 2:19, “But Mary kept all these things in heart, and pondered them….”
It’s high time we are adorned with gentleness and respect and become wise as serpents. As we read in 1 Peter 3:15 — always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect.
As you can see at the end of the verse in Jeremiah 23:32 — false prophecies don’t have the slightest benefit to the Church, all it does is waste of time.
The whole intent of Prophetic Words is to benefit/ edify and advance the Church. As Timothy writes in 1:4 – instruct men not to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. Such things promote controversial speculations rather than advancing God’s work.
“that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting,” Ephesians 4:14.
“But sanctify The LORD God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.” 1 Peter 3:15.
“Nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which cause disputes rather than godly edification which is in faith.” 1 Timothy 1:4.
Blessings!

Very good word! Continue praying for the nation! That’s what God clearly showed me also. Also, the enemy, satan uses alot of this to distract us from what God calls us to! Let us continue to pray and fight for truth, and righteousness, but not be distracted by all these different prophecies! Father, deliver us, myself included from all this distractions. Let us run the race, set before us. In Christs name I pray. Amen
Father God, make us wise as serpents and harmless as a Dove, as You give us eyes to see & ears to hear what the Spirit is Saying to the CHURCH, & Help us to NOT Be Deceived by the enemy. Thank You Lord for the Unveiling of YOUR Plans, Because YOU Do ALL THINGS WELL! PEACE BE STILL!
Hmmmmmm not sure which group of “prophets” this above word of “ROLLER COASTER PROPHETS” is addressed to. However may we all join David in this prayer.
Psalm 131:1-3 KJV
LORD, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty: neither do I exercise myself in great matters, or in things too high for me.
[2] Surely I have behaved and quieted myself, as a child that is weaned of his mother: my soul is even as a weaned child.
[3] Let Israel (America) hope in the LORD from henceforth and for ever.
God will surely sift the REAL “roller coaster” out. The final outcome will silence all arguments and controversies. Let God be true and men liars.
Thank you for reminding me of the basics. “The whole intent of Prophetic Words is to benefit/ edify and advance the Church…”
The Prophets of old, the Bible says, in 1 Peter 1,looked for the times they prophesied coz even they did not know what the Spirit was saying. They did not fall silent, the prophetic word is not for keeping in hearts, the Lord has spoken, who can but prophesy????
Jesus is the Word of God, and a word is not a word until spoken.
Jeremiah says, SPEAK! If it is a word from the Lord it will stand.
Asking prophets to hold back the fire burning in their bones is killing them, it is stripping them of their prophetic standing….Lord Jesus!
Some of us are not prophets like myself, but I heard the Spirit whisper over two years ago that Trump would win.
He won. And the enemy stole. Now we have to wait for the Lord, not the prophets, the Lord to DEFEND HIS WORD.
Thank you for this world. We need to turn away from this error and focus on what matters. Jesus and People. I hope people take time to reflect and return to God.
Was the election stolen or not I ask you, did President DJ Trump not win the election?
The prophet prophesied and they were right. I am believing God that once the thief is caught and he will be caught, he will restore back what he stole. Therefore judge nothing before the time.
Exactly.
The Lord is tired of this international thief who keeps stealing in darkness, so the Lord let them steal so the Lord can deal with them in the open. Oh the unsearchible wisdom and knowledge of our God, is there anyone who can escape the justice of God,? No, there is none, for all things are open before Him who is from Everlasting to Everlasting
I don’t get your point!???? Are you saying that those who prophesied a Trump second term were wrong or were there some prophets saying something else that you are talking about? Very unclear message.
Hi Mark,
I was talking about the conspiracy theorists and propagandists out there who misled people with lies and conspiracy theories that never came to fruition. So many followed those narratives and wasted their time. It’s time to discern the fake from the true.
God Bless President Trump and the true prophets of God. God’s plans will unveil in HIS time, and the way its going to be unveiled is hidden from man as written in Deuteronomy 29:29 – The secret things belong to the LORD our God. Keep praying for the nation. Regards.
Thank you for clarifying. I share the frustration with trying to add QAnon and similar rumors that ‘may’ or ‘may not’ be in play. When something looks like it isn’t turning out the way we thought, we either think we heard wrong and give up or start grasping on to whatever we can find to make it come to pass. In 70 AD, Israel tried to take matters into their own hands because they were expecting a military deliverer. Messiah will deliver them militarily in the end, but His coming at first was not what they wanted but what they needed. In the same manner, Trump was not what America wanted(someone who would continue to sweep our sick co-dependency between society and government under the rug), but what we needed. However, in that process, I think the focus from both his supporters and staunch haters has so much been on him that it’s more than any person can handle. God needs him out of the way for however long so that He can get the glory and He will vindicate Trump.
