Repentance and The Full Gospel
Yesterday afternoon, The LORD brought to me a Word of Prophecy from 2018 shared by Prophet Jeremiah Johnson.
After I read it, I immediately shared it privately within our personal group, with a note saying I wanted us all to discuss that Word the next time we met. The Word is copied below.
Later last evening, The LORD spoke to me clearly as I showered, and told me to post out the Prophetic Word be Prophet Jeremiah Johnson and to look at the first Words The LORD Jesus spoke.
Even before I finished showering, The LORD reminded me of two important things before I even got started.
The first was the Inerrancy Of The Bible — which means the Bible has no error and the Bible can be trusted.
The second was the “law of first-mention” — which is the principle in the interpretation of Scripture which states that the first mention or occurrence of a subject in Scripture establishes an unchangeable pattern, with that subject remaining unchanged in the mind of God throughout Scripture. [1]
Chronologically, the first words spoken by Jesus a recorded in the Bible are when he was but a child and had been lost, but found in the Temple in Jerusalem, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions.
In reply to His mother’s question, “Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously,” (Luke 2:48b) Jesus replied,
“Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” Luke 2:49b emphasis added.
The LORD showed me that this was the focus of Jesus and of His ministry, all about “His Father’s business.”
I was then taken to Matthew 4:17, when Jesus has been baptised by John the Baptist, filled with The Power of Holy Spirit and tested by Satan, and is now ready to minister as His Father leads Him.
“From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for The Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”” Matthew 4:17 emphasis added.
“Repentance” and “The Kingdom” are what were important to Jesus.
This is confirmed in Luke 4:34 as Jesus speaks saying,
“I must preach The Kingdom of God to the other cities also, because for this purpose I have been sent.” Luke 4:34 emphasis added.
To quote Prophet Jeremiah Johnson (below):
“Will you pray with me today that ministers and individuals who move in God’s Power, will not only live a lifestyle of repentance — but also preach it?”

“Disturbing Prophetic Dream: ‘I Saw Many Ministers and Prophets in Hell‘”
“While I was recently studying Matthew 7:22-24 and asking God for increased revelation, I had one of the most disturbing prophetic dreams of my life.
The Scripture I was studying in Matthew says, “Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonderful works in Your name?’ But then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you. Depart from Me, you who practice evil.'”
In the Prophetic Dream, I was taken to hell where I saw all these ministers and individuals who had performed miracles, cast out demons and prophesied.
What I was shown next I will never forget. The Holy Spirit showed me long lines of people behind all of these ministers and individuals.
He immediately revealed to me that these were all the people that had received the miracles, prophecies and had been at one time delivered. As I gazed at the people in these lines, He said to me, “Did they not receive miracles, prophecy and deliverance, yet I never knew them?”
I woke up from the dream alarmed and startled. I said to the Holy Spirit, “So there are not only people that will perform signs, wonders and miracles who will be sent to hell, but also people who received all these things who will also be in hell. Why?”
Immediately the Holy Spirit spoke again to me and said, “Because those who worked miracles, prophesied and cast out demons never preached the Full Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the message of repentance.
They were so in love with the gifts I had given them that people became trophies and souvenirs to them.
When My Power would manifest in their ministries, they would tell people that I loved them, but never that they needed to repent for their sins.
I tell you that a great deception will sweep over the signs and wonders movement in the earth.
Beware of the ministries where miracles and prophecies will flow, but the message of repentance is a no-go. You have been warned.”
Will you pray with me today that ministers and individuals who move in God’s Power will not only live a lifestyle of Repentance — but also preach it?
What if people getting healed, delivered and prophesied to, and told God loves them isn’t the full gospel message?
What if repentance and holiness are the Full Gospel message too?”
~ Angus MacKillop
Many went to the Cults and these other things like new age because of the very same thing & Lack of love. Some of them may be suspicious when you start yelling at them like what they saw in the pulpit. Because they also saw abuses of power in the pulpits. So I appreciate all the ideas expressed because it’s more complicated. Many ministers never got the complete healing and deliverance that they needed and many of them were not taught right in the cemeteries so there’s a lot to be dealt with in the church.
But I don’t think we need to worry about it too much because God‘s coming with such power that people who are terrible hypocrites will drop dead. It happened in New Zealand in the 80s were a pastor and his intercessors prayed for a year for the glory to come down and one Sunday it came down and nine people dropped dead.
What we need to do is pray for God‘s mercy to touch the people who have not repented because believe me it’s going to be like Ananias and Sapphira we were shown that years ago.
Just some of my thoughts.
Confrontation is not done these days as it needs to be also another issue.
In the early days of the church many of the people of course were coming out of pagan/occultic backgrounds just like now & I was told they had multiple deliverers but also they had more of the power of God in the early church. we’re gonna need multiple deliverers/healers like they had. We need apostles & prophets and a whole prophetic army that can lay the enemy waste. But the greatest weapon of all is LOVE Paul said.
Love he said leads to repentance. It is a loving thing to warn people that they can’t get to heaven by their own efforts but every person is a different And Jesus knows individually everyone so we need to rely on how he wants us to talk to that individual person if we were to do it in a way that’s going to be effective. Many have rejected the gospel because of the hypocrisy that they’ve seen in the church.
That’s why evangelists do not belong in pulpits all the time as pastors. They belong out on the street doing what they do best.
I’m not saying you can’t bring them into have an out reach meeting just that if they’re in the pulpit they don’t have the same care for the sheep that is ongoing like a pastor does. Their role is different.
A Pastor on the other hand, Should be a counselor a healer as well as guiding people in the wisdom of the Word of the Lord. Praying for them in private & in person. You can’t guide a flock if you don’t spend time with God. And that’s vital to all christians.
The teacher belongs in the pulpit so that he can teach people the difference between right & wrong as it was called on by the priesthood in Israel. Thus people get convicted by the very word of God. The teacher gets into the nitty-gritty in deep wisdom of God & the pastor can translate that often times into practical living that makes sense to people & giving them examples.
There are crossovers of these giftings where people have more than one thing that they’re good at but the fivefold ministry each of them has different roles to play.
All points made are important by Angus & Jeremiah, and the commentators as well.
Washing our feet daily is what Jesus showed us all to do. It’s easy to let the busyness of life
Distract us from basic needs.
But if Jesus washed the feet of the apostles then its also important for the body of Christ to Pray for one another on those things they see & hear from God about others. Ministers need to be accountable to others in like manner as Jesus demonstrated.
Jesus came out of the desert saying repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. But when he talked to his own people he spoken parables and stories in different ways, and healed and delivered people to demonstrate the kingdom.
Today if you say repent to people They don’t know what you’re talking about; they think they’re good enough.
I love the way Ray Comfort approaches them. https://youtu.be/28Q-VXE3T-A
There’s no doubt when you approach people in this manner where you’re not making yourself better than them or yelling at them. But defining what sin is, & at the same time sharing the love of Jesus & His grace; I think that’s a precious balance.
The importance of sharing the “disturbing prophetic dream” cannot be over-estimated.
It must have been that these ministers were unable to preach repentance, because of a lack of repentance in their own lives. I think that many may be unaware of the presence of unrepented sin in their lives, and that divorce and remarriage may be one such sin that the Lord takes seriously, even though the church may not even want to talk about it. I wonder if the disobedience of the physical adultery, which this may entail, then makes people susceptible to deception and to spiritual adultery?
Also, omitting the preaching of repentance may often be what fills seats, and the filling of seats may then be mistaken as a sign of God’s favour. The charismatic church tends mistakenly to equate “anointing” with success as the world understands it – with numbers, finance, buildings and personal acclaim.
May God have mercy on each of us! His kindness leads us to repentance.
The message was so on time. Thanks for waving the flag of just what the FATHER’S BUSINESS is. It is all about HIM. As Joyce said, Repentance and the fear of the Lord go hand in hand. So grateful for all you and Jill do to lead the way for HIS KINGDOM!! Sandi
Angus, thank you so much for your Words and those of Jeremiah Johnson.
It really bears witness with my spirit and what the Lord is speaking to me, also.
The Repentance message has to be preached and if this dont put the fear of God in us, then we are in trouble!
God bless you much. I appreciate your and Jills heart and all you do.
The Lord is raising me up off sick bed, especially this past week! I have certainly missed reading a lot of posts on HKP.
Love you all.
Dear Joyce,
I hope you are recovered now and can get back to normal.
Thanks for your confirmation…. and as for me, just doing as The LORD instructed.
Blessings!
