"Let no man deceive you with vain words:
for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 
Be not ye therefore partakers with them."
Ephesians 5:6-7 (AKJB)

“I want to encourage all Ephesians 4:11 ‘Teachers’ in the body of Christ to function with unction! We don't need any more people chasing and posing like wannabee apostles or prophets because they think it's cool and popular. Be who God called you to be and don’t be ashamed of it!

When authentic five fold teachers minister, the grace they carry does more than impart information, they release revelation and a love for truth in the body of Christ.

Teachers- It's totally okay that people don't fall down in the altars when you pray for them. It’s fantastic that you don't give out prophecies like candy. It’s honorable that you don't see crazy miracles all the time and build your ministry off of them. Thank you for not claiming apostleship because its popular.

My encouragement to the ‘Teachers’ among us is to handle the Word of God with integrity and clarity. Keep going after discipleship! Teach the Word of God, line upon line, precept upon precept. Do more bible studies! You are a tremendous blessing and greatly needed in this generation who is chasing after the wind and their feelings. I'm with you, praying for you, and I believe all of heaven has its eyes open you in this hour. Teach!”

“When God gives a major prophetic word about someone's calling, the very next thing that happens is a deep examination of that person's character.

A high calling demands a level of character which often requires drastic changes in our lives, relationships, and initiates massive transitions that many do not plan or even hope for.

What if personal and corporate prophecy is more about possibility than inevitability. What if in order for the word we received to be fulfilled, we need to seriously consider what level of character and integrity God is requiring of us in order for Him to fulfill it?”

-Jeremiah Johnson

Dear Emerging Leaders,

Church history is full of men and women who had been tested by obscurity but failed miserably the test of notoriety. The worst thing that can ever happen to a man or woman is for them to be promoted before they are ready.

I have personally learned over the years that around every corner of promotion and another major open door is a snake waiting to strike, a python waiting to squeeze, a Jezebel looking to silence you, an insecure Saul throwing a javelin, a jealous leader ready to assassinate your success, and people lining up to worship you!

To those of you that are hungry for influence, are desperately self promoting yourself into national stages and conferences, you better think twice about what doors you are trying to knock down and what exactly you are asking for! I’ve got news for you, influence is not what you think it is. It’s dangerous, it will eat you alive and make you it’s mistress. It will steal your time, and what’s most precious to you- your real friends and family.

You will begin to manage all your success at the expense of spending intimate time with God. You will have an expanding ministry and a shrinking heart. The constant phone calls, emails, and text messages will feed your ego and identity before you realize it. You will become entitled, demanding honorariums and special treatment, and the only one who won’t know you are full of yourself is you.

The prophets, intercessors, and your real friends will weep over you and try to warn you. You won’t listen to them because you have now put yourself above any need for correction and personal repentance!

Oh emerging generation of leaders with growing influence , I mourn for you because I know the journey ahead, yet I know you won’t make it without the fervent prayers of intercessors and spiritual fathers/mothers around you that will rebuke you and tell you the truth. You must be told the truth- that all the ministry success means nothing if your marriage and family isn’t healthy and all of it is meaningless if you don’t walk in humility and purity.

Praying for you,

-Jeremiah Johnson

EXPOSING CHURCH EMPIRES

Join Jeremiah C. Johnson as he talks about the state of the Church and offers solutions to those who have questions. God is raising up pioneers and reformers for such a time as this!

To sow into the stream, go to: www.jeremiahjohnson.tv/give

Dear Pioneers,

If God has called you to plant or start a church, ministry, business, etc you have to accept that most people around you are called to be settlers.

In other words, they do not like change. They prefer formulas and reliable solutions. They find no glory in blazing new paths and taking big risks. Settlers prefer a fifty year plan where they will stick to it at all costs. Settlers question pioneers at every fork in the road with, “I thought you said” without realizing it is the courage and bravery of the pioneer that allows them to enjoy the fruit of the new frontier.

I want to encourage pioneers today to not take it personally when the settlers around you just don’t know how to rejoice and accept the new venture God has called you into. When you tell them God is moving you geographically they will question your motives. When God tells you to step out in faith and sow big financially they will call you a bad steward. When you tell them God has redirected you and the path you are on is no longer the one God wants you on they will tell you that you are untrustworthy.

You can try to explain to settlers all day long the process of how you got to where you are and it will never be good enough for them and that’s okay. You have to understand that being led by the Holy Spirit looks erratic and is quite frankly tiring to them. The new challenges and financial needs that pioneers find exhilarating to tackle and can’t wait to see how God comes through becomes a major burden and fear for settlers. Pioneers and settlers are just wired differently. We need them both.

Faith leads to the occupation of the promises of God and fear leads to rebellion and sin. Pioneers, walk in humility, forgiveness, and honor always. The settlers are your passport to make you learn how to lead with Christ-like patience, endurance, and meekness.

Praying for you,

-Jeremiah C. Johnson

NO PRAYER CULTURE = NO TRUE APOSTOLIC/PROPHETIC GRACE

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

“There is no such thing as an authentic apostolic or prophetic church or a true prophet or an apostle that does not place primary emphasis on PRAYER and INTERCESSION because the spirit of REVELATION they are called to walk in and release can only be accessed in the SECRET PLACE.

The lack of a strong personal prayer life or prayer culture among individuals and churches claiming "apostolic or prophetic" anything is clear evidence that they are either ignorant or deceived of what they are claiming to possess.

We must have a generation of apostles and apostolic churches that pray in tongues more than everyone (1 Cor 14:18) and a generation of prophets and prophetic churches that make intercession to the Lord of Hosts without ceasing. (Jer 27:18; 1 Thess 5:16)

Claiming to be an apostle or prophet that leads an apostolic/prophetic church that doesn't have a primary emphasis on prayer/numerous prayer meetings throughout the week is not biblical. Let's humble ourselves and return back to the Word of God. We must have an Ephesians 1:17 mandate restored back to the Church in this hour!

7 KEYS TO NAVIGATE SEASONS OF TRANSITION

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

1. Cast Out Perverted Thoughts

There is a perverted kind of slavery that is hard to relinquish. Even though they were free, many Israelites longed to go back to Egypt. They desired the oppression of the former season over walking in the freedom that the current season provided them which required faith. When God transitions you, the way you once thought will not work in the coming days!

2. Recognize Your Need For Endurance

"For you have need of endurance, so that when you have done the will of God, you may receive what has been promised."

Hebrews 10:36

3. Don't Settle for Ishmael's

The Lord will often bless our Ishmael's and sadly because of it, we may never realize that the true promise He gave us in the first place was never fulfilled. Don't mistake the blessing of God for covenant with God!

4. Embrace the Criticism and Misunderstanding

Transition can be plain messy! When you hear the Holy Spirit say "transition", then it's time to go! Expect those closest to you to often fight you the hardest.

5. Don't Waste Time Trying to Negotiate with God

The whole point of sending 12 spies into Canaan was never to decided IF they could take the land, but to develop a strategy for WHEN they were going in. Once God initiates transition, stop going back to Him for an answer. After awhile you might discover your own!

6. Guard Your Emotions Carefully

You must not allow where you are emotionally invested become the anchor that holds you when God has called you to move on. Keep watch over your emotions and learn how to respond in the Spirit to those who oppose you rather than react to them in the flesh.

7. Fear Will Manifest As Control, Anger, and Manipulation Around You

Don't be surprised that when you transition, those around you will seek to control and manipulate you because they fear the unknown that you are walking into. You don't have to give them an answer if you don't have one. Sometimes God says, "It's time to go" and that's all you've heard and all you can give them. Learn to see their anger as love that hates to see you go. Release them to the Father and get moving into the place God has called you to.

“God is calling a generation of prophets out of the caves of isolation and Old Testament Lone Ranger mindsets into the family rooms and dining room tables of the New Testament where they inherit the relationship and intimacy with others they were created for.

Prophets that refuse community and accountability are dangerous and cannot be trusted. It’s time for the prophetic movement to start building for legacy and family. This wounded, bitter, angry, and anti-church spirit is literally shipwrecking thousands. And its foul and nasty on social media!

Prophets: There is a more excellent way- it’s called love, forgiveness, and family!”

PROPHETIC DREAM: THE GOD OF ALL COMFORT

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

I had a very moving prophetic dream and was deeply ministered to by God the Father. In the dream, I walked up to a door that had, "Comfort" written upon it. As I opened the door, I stepped into another world or realm full of sunshine, beautiful colors, and angels and celestial beings. There was a cool breeze that touched the depths of my soul. What I saw and felt was magnificent to say the least.

As I began to scan the ground, I noticed thousands of beautifully colored wrapped boxes. They looked like presents with bows on them. Out of curiosity, I walked up to grab a present and I immediately heard the voice of God say,

"I am the God of ALL Comfort. I invented comfort. I am the author of ALL comfort. You must understand that the Garden of Eden was once the greatest manifestation of My comfort upon the earth, but because of the choice of humanity, I sent the ultimate and fullest expression of My comfort, My Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. You must always remember that the adversary, the true enemy of humanity is always attempting to get people to reject my Comfort because he knows the power of people who choose to be comforted by their Father. When humanity refuses My comfort, they choose not to partake of and experience an intricate part of My character and nature. Satan was in the garden, he was at work in the days of My Son Jesus, and he is still continuing to lie and hinder humanity from receiving My comfort” says the Father.

As God said this, my mind and heart were supernaturally enlightened and I began to cry like a little boy. I can't explain how deeply these words from God the Father ministered to me in the dream. It was as if what God had just told me brought great relief and understanding to fallen humanity. It felt like I was some type of representative for many, many people.

God the Father continued to speak,

"I have given comfort as a GIFT to humanity to help ease the pain of life and the sorrows that come as a result of walking upon the earth. I want you to ask humanity a few questions for Me Jeremiah. Ask them,

Will you receive MY comfort today?

Will you choose to not harden your heart and turn away from the love and affection that only I can give you?

Will you give me your bitterness, unforgivenness, and anger?

My comfort is like a blanket. It swallows up pain and is the best kind of medicine anyone can drink of” He continued.

“Jeremiah, the days ahead in the earth will be filled with much grief, much pain, and much sorrow as humanity continues to turn on one another. Terror attacks and the shedding of innocent blood will grow exponentially in the future. Untimely deaths and the loss of loved ones will strike at the heart of many. Great wailing and sorrow will come. In the midst of the present pain, never forget the place I have prepared for you in the future. I offer an eternal dwelling place for all those who believe and trust in My Son. There will be no more pain, no more suffering, and no more tears when we shall rule and reign together forever.

But will humanity receive the gift of comfort that I am offering today? says the Lord

Will humanity receive an experience of my abiding presence and love like never before?

I extend My comfort today to all those who mourn, all those who are sad, all those who are lonely, all those who are depressed, all those who are disappointed and heart broken, receive my free gift of Comfort today and don't forget to look forward to when we meet face to face" says the Father.

I woke up from the dream with tears streaming down my cheeks and the warmth of God's presence all over my body.

May the God of ALL comfort minister to many broken hearts today through this prophetic dream.

PROPHETS: YOU WILL DRINK THE CUP OF REJECTION

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

To be called as a prophet of God is to share and partake in the sufferings of Christ and one of those sufferings and cups to drink that cannot be passed on is certainly the cup of rejection. (Isaiah 53:3) Rejection is extremely painful, especially when it comes from family members, friends, and people in ministry that you thought you could trust. I imagine the pain of what Jesus must have experienced in the Garden of Gethsamene or perhaps even at Calvary, being rejected and despised by those even closest to Him.

It only takes a cursory reading of all the Old Testament prophets to understand that they too were men who were deeply rejected. What about the New Testament? John the Baptist was rejected, Jesus Christ was rejected, and many of the prophets that came after Him continued to be rejected. In fact, Scripture is clear that one of the signs of a false prophet is that everyone loves everything they prophesy. (Jeremiah 5:31) In the words of Jesus, He said, “Woe to you when all men speak well of you.” (Luke 6:26) According to the testimony of both the prophets themselves and Jesus Christ, there is no way around rejection if you are truly called as a prophet of the Lord.

Working Through My Own Personal Rejection

Speaking from personal experience, even if you understand at some levels that rejection is part of your prophetic calling and development, it does not make it any less painful when you lose friendships and things turn south rather quickly. I have personally experienced rejection prophetically both on a personal and national level. Death threats, tremendous financial loss, public newspaper hit pieces, and losing trusted friends are all things I have had to walk out as a public figure.

I have had seasons where I was receiving so much rejection from those around me that I cried on the phone to one of my spiritual fathers and said, “I am struggling so greatly with rejection right now that I honestly cannot discern the voice of God from the voice of my accusers in this season.” Now that’s scary!

Three Pieces of Advice to Prophets of the Lord

Having walked through several deep seasons of rejection and anticipating many more to come on my prophetic journey, I have prayed through three pieces of advice and lessons I have learned in my own struggles that I hope can encourage other prophets who are on their own journey to fulfill God’s call on their life. Here are the three pieces of advice that I have learned:

1. You must receive rejection as part of your prophetic training, but choose not to operate in a spirit of rejection.

This is where the path of a prophet and the need for healthy and mature development can become very difficult. As a prophet of the Lord, you will be trained by the rejection of men, but it is not healthy nor is it the will of God that you walk in a spirit of rejection. When prophets operate out of a spirit of rejection, they are convinced that they are constantly “alone” in their calling and everyone is either against them now or will be in the future.

The spirit of rejection operating in a wounded prophet’s life has convinced them that it’s them versus the world and they are out to prove everyone wrong. The motive of the heart behind prophets who operate out of the spirit of rejection is to show the world and religion how bad they missed it with them. These prophets with wounds of rejection have what I call a “told you so” approach to life and ministry. Every open door and potential favor that God gives them, in their eyes, is twisted into proving to their critics how anointed they really were in the first place. These types of attitudes and heart postures are not only signs that a prophet is operating in a spirit of rejection, but they are extremely grieving to God the Father and not a sign of a mature prophetic anointing.

2. You must not interpret Godly correction as persecution.

It is one thing to be persecuted for righteousness sake and be asked to drink the cup of rejection as part of your prophetic calling, but it is another issue altogether to refuse to submit to any type of correction that will come through Godly fathers and mothers around you. Prophets who operate in a spirit of rejection actually interpret Godly correction as rejection or persecution. They have been so wounded by people in the past that they do not know how to trust even those who God is sending them to instruct and develop them into a more mature prophet. Mature prophets who have suffered from rejection but do not walk in a spirit of rejection are being actively fathered or mothered in some capacity.

These mature prophets have leaders and trusted friends around them that are helping them process and work through their pain of being rejected as part of their calling. Behind every isolated prophet is hiding a deep wound of rejection. The truth is that they often times want to be rejected and even purposely try to be rejected so that they can remain a victim and center of attention. They get rejected because they are rebellious, not because they are actually fulfilling their prophetic assignment. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE!

Prophets who operate in a spirit of rejection have convinced themselves that no one can be trusted, regardless of how Godly they are. This is an extremely dangerous place to be as a prophet of the Lord and will certainly stunt your growth in the prophetic call upon your life.

3. You must use the rejection of men to always properly examine your motives and heart.

In perhaps my greatest season of rejection, I reached out to one of my spiritual fathers, and brought before him an accusation that had been launched against me. I was looking for comfort and for him to reassure me that what was being said about me was just a big lie. It was so painful that I had a hard time even telling him on the phone what it was. To my great surprise, as I shared what the accusation was, he quickly answered back and said, “What if it’s true?” I was stunned to silence. Did he really just ask me that? Could God actually use the hurtful words and rejection of men to further the character of Christ inside of me? Say it isn’t so!

My spiritual father on the phone said, “Jeremiah, you must not waste this season of rejection. God is using it for your good. You must ask yourself, “What is God trying to crucify inside of me through these hurtful words from others?” This challenge, encouragement, and ultimate gentle rebuke launched me into one of the deepest seasons of prayer, fasting, soul searching, and release of pain and hurt that I have ever known.

The Rejection of Men is a Blessing

If someone said I was rebellious, I actually considered it! If someone said I was arrogant, I actually took it to the Lord and said, “Are they right?” See, I learned and am very much still learning that the rejection I receive from men is actually a set up by God Himself to see what I will do with it. Will I ignore it or just write it off, blinded by my own pride and pain, or will I allow every ounce of rejection to conform me into the image and likeness of Jesus. Over the last several years I have finally realized that some rejection that I have received from men is actually justified. They were right. I was immature, I was arrogant, and I was wounded. I have done my best to apologize and move forward, but I’m actually grateful for all that has been said about me, both good and bad.

The truth is that I now can say with a clear conscience that I count the rejection of men as a blessing in my life. It is an instrument in the hand of the Lord intended to keep me humble, questioning my own heart and motives, and drawing me ever so close to the comfort of My Father in heaven as I mature as a prophet of the Lord. I have resolved that if the price to pay to fulfill the prophetic call upon my life is my reputation, then I gladly give it up and will await Judgment Day for the clearing up of my name.

I pray that what I have written will be an encouragement and challenge to my fellow brothers and sisters who are called as prophets of the Lord. I am sorry for your pain. I am sorry for your losses. You are not alone. You do not have to prove your critics wrong. In fact, your attempt to will only grieve the Holy Spirit. Allow the rejections of men to send you on a healthy search for any areas in your own life that need adjustment and correction. Find people and leaders around you that can help you to be objective when necessary. Never excuse your rebelliousness or bad attitude from being addressed and confronted by others. And most importantly, though God has chosen to train you in your calling by the rejection of men, it is not His will or desire that you operate in a spirit of rejection. There is healing and freedom available today for you. It starts by humbling ourselves and praying.

THE DANGERS IN SUPERNATURAL EVANGELISM

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

For many years, I was personally involved with numerous prophetic/supernatural schools and churches from around the USA who would weekly go out to do prophetic and supernatural evangelism in different cities and regions. I can honestly say that the first 10 years were incredible and nothing less than exhilarating. I was dedicated! Watching people encounter the love of God for the very first time is amazing. We saw too many physical healings, demons being cast out, and powerful words of knowledge go forth to count. From setting up "free spiritual reading" tents to simply handing out bottles of water and asking people if we could pray with them to try to lure them in for a supernatural encounter with God, I have both experienced, led many teams, and seen a lot!

However, at about the ten year mark of walking in this realm on a consistent basis, I believe God began to open up my eyes to great danger concerning what I was doing and I still consistently see and hear what I am about to share across the country today. IT DEEPLY BREAKS MY HEART! My hope in sharing what was revealed to me is to help those going out to do supernatural evangelism and even those teaching it to make some course adjustments and seek the Lord personally on these matters. Again, this post is to better equip those going out to do supernatural and prophetic evangelism, not discourage them from going out!

Here are 4 areas of danger that were revealed to me by the Holy Spirit concerning what I was doing and teaching in the supernatural/prophetic evangelism realm:

1. THE GIFTS OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

As I took a hard look at the role of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the New Testament, I was shocked at what I found. The gifts of the Holy Spirit were only used for two purposes; one was in a community and relational context among saints to promote unity and help them draw near to the presence of God and the second was in an evangelistic setting to draw saints INTO community. In other words, to demonstrate the gifts of the Holy Spirit on the streets without intending to bring people into community and relationship with the body of Christ is unbiblical and can be misleading.

And to take it a step further, 75 percent of the people whom I did supernatural evangelism with for many years did not attend a local church faithfully and knew nothing of Christian community living. Therefore, it is dangerous to demonstrate the supernatural to the world without clearly trying to draw them into a community setting where relationship and unity can be formed. If you are going out trying to win souls, prophesy to people, and lay hands on them for healing without strongly encouraging and providing them with the correct avenues to get plugged into a community of believers where strong discipleship is taking place, I ask you to repent and turn from this deception.

2. HEALING AND PROPHETIC SHOWMANSHIP

I cannot count on how many occasions I have seen people healed and prophetic words given without a presentation of the gospel that includes asking people to repent of their sins. I have personally (which I have now repented of) and also taken teams all over the USA where we laid hands on the sick and crippled, saw them healed as we talked to them about the love of God and the work of the Cross, but yet never told them that they had to repent of their sins and live a consecrated life unto the Lord. It's almost like we developed a culture where people were addicted to prophesying and healing the sick and "demonstrating the love of God", but got more of a kick out of watching people encounter God rather than lead them to Christ. (I hope that makes sense).

Over the years among many of us that were "gifted", it became like a game. Who could prophesy the most accurate in depth word or who could get the best healing. Please, if you are reading this, take this seriously. I will not name the supernatural schools or leaders, but this type of thinking is so rampant, it would make you sick. Healing's and prophecies and the love of God without a mention of holiness, righteous living, or the need to repent of sins. It produces people who are seeking an outward touch, but reject inward transformation. They want goosebumps and stimulation, but run from trials and testing. If you are praying for healing and prophesy to people, but yet not preaching the gospel by telling them that they must die to their flesh and pick up their cross and follow Jesus, I ask you to repent and turn from this deception.

3. WORSHIPING MIRACLES OR THE GOD OF MIRACLES?

Another area of deception that God showed me I was walking in was my obsession with the miraculous outside of a true obsession of Jesus Christ. I found myself more eager to pray and release miracles than I was to pray to the God of miracles. I began to point people more to miracle power than the God of miracle power. Even in my language and speech, I had little to no revelation of the person of God, yet I had no problem "demonstrating" His works.

It all culminated for me when I went to sleep one night and was taken to hell by the Holy Spirit. There He showed me not only miracle workers who went to hell because they never knew the Lord, but he showed me thousands of people who had received his miracle working power when they lived, but yet had never truly given their heart and life to Him. If you are addicted to miracles and the prophetic and do not possess a true obsession with Jesus Christ, I ask you to repent and turn from this deception.

4. PROPHETIC ACTIVATION AND IMPARTATION

Probably the strongest area of deception that I walked in was the zeal to activate and impart to people the prophetic anointing without spending any time teaching them about the character and nature of God or the need for their own character transformation. I was or they were so eager to lay hands or have hands layed on them to show them how to do the "stuff" that holding their feet to the fire regarding their own sin and lack of revelation of who God is was never addressed.

I realized over the years that I was actually launching collateral damage rather than releasing assets to the world. Many of these people "walked in the supernatural" for a season, but ended up embracing loose living and no longer even serve the Lord. They were totally unprepared for real life situations where trial and testing simply do not go away with one prayer. If you are training and activating students into the prophetic and supernatural without preaching holiness and living righteously before the Lord, I ask you to repent and turn from this deception.

I have repented and will continue to repent of those years of walking in the deception that plagues so much of the "supernatural evangelism" that we witness today. If but one person wakes up to the reality that I am talking about and see's their own deception or helps another see theirs, it will be well worth it to me!

I will close with the words of a prophetic father R. Loren Sandford and pray that those who have read this will be awakened to the danger involved in prophetic and supernatural evangelism and allow God to bring refreshing to your heart as He did mine.

"If the goal is to be supernatural, you will end up in shipwreck. But if the goal is intimacy with Jesus, you will end up supernatural."

I WENT TO HELL AND WAS STUNNED BY WHAT I SAW

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

“Several years ago while I was extensively 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, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name did we not cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.”

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 that will be sent to hell, but also people who receive all these things that will also be in hell. Why?" Immediately the Holy Spirit spoke again to me and said, "Because those that 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 that 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". Then I woke up.

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 is the full gospel message too?”

“If you are more concerned about the DIGNITY of a person than you are seeing them free from DEMONS, you will never see true DELIVERANCE.

All the hissing, scratching, vomiting, and clawing is totally worth the transformation that deliverance brings to the lives of people. In fact, I am convinced that a generation must see public demonic manifestation to understand just how evil sin is and the doors that it opens to darkness.

I fear that the desire for “calm” and “clean”deliverance in many churches is greatly hindering what the Holy Spirit wants to do in this hour. God honors your heart that doesn’t want to see people SHAMED in their deliverance but just make sure that you aren’t secretly masking the fact that you might be ASHAMED of the work of the Holy Spirit.”

-Jeremiah C. Johnson

When most Christians pray for revival, they are probably asking for a wonderful experience at the 9 or 11 am service on Sunday. The real truth is that revival is not simply an event, but a lifestyle. It’s asking God for life-shaking experiences centered on Jesus Christ at a personal cost.

One of my greatest concerns in the Church today is how in love so many people are with comfort and convience yet they claim to walk in revival!

The truth is that in authentic revival, sin is confronted and deep repentance takes place- especially concerning marriage and family. Revival crashes our calendars, interrupts our schedules, and requires our full attention. The sooner this generation stops calling exciting church services and conferences full of hype- “revival”…. the sooner we can get back to the ancient paths!

CRUSHING PRODUCES FRESH OIL AND GLORY

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

I want to encourage a generation today to remember that there is purpose in your pain and with every crushing you endure comes fresh oil and impartation to release to others that will make the devil regret he ever messed with you and your family.

The fact that you are still standing and refuse to quit makes you a threat to the kingdom of darkness. Your refusal to curse God in the midst of your fiery trial causes Satan to rage. Every time you open up your mouth and proclaim the goodness of God, the devil flees in the other direction.

You are mighty and powerful in Jesus. You are a lion and lioness ready to roar and shut down the works of the devil. Everything you have been through up to this point has not been in vain. You are ready to lay hands on others and release grace to walk in supernatural power and authority. If God be for you, who can be against you?

You have been pressed but not crushed, persecuted but not abandoned by God. Struck down but not destroyed. Your momentary afflictions are storing up for you a weight of eternal glory.

The leaders and saints around you are ready for you to emerge victorious. They need you to roar and soar. You hold keys to the breakthrough they seek. Keep trusting. Keep believing. And above all else- just keep fighting!

“Alignments and Assignments”

We are in a season of change. God is shuffling the deck. Changing alignments and giving out fresh assignments. God wants relationships and partnerships in your life that are life giving, not life draining.

The season of some of these alignments have expired and grown stale. God is shuffling the deck. Let it happen, don’t fearfully hold onto something familiar because it has the safety of being something known.

The sun is setting on some partnerships and the sun is rising on other partnerships. Let it happen, it will be better for everyone involved.

Some of these new partnerships are gonna surprise you. Like Nothing you have ever imagined.

God is putting together ministry teams and partnerships that are gonna cross denominational boundaries. We are gonna see people working together we never thought would work together.

Crossing the lines that have separated us, bringing us together in ways we never thought we’re possible.

We are gonna rally around Jesus and not tiny doctrinal disputes. Gonna spend less time arguing and more time shining, more time helping and serving and pointing to the king of kings.

God is calling you out of the boat and onto the water. It’s a new day! It’s a new season!

The boat is safe and warm and known

But the adventure is on the water

The miracles are on the water

Jesus will hold your hand and lead you and guide you into THE NEW

The joy of this new season will wash the bitterness of these past few years out of your mouth.

Your gonna

laugh again

Dance again

Dream again

Serve again

Fellowship again

BE again

God is shuffling the deck. Changing alignments and giving out fresh assignments.

Isaiah 43:19

Behold, I will do a new thing,

Now it shall spring forth;

Shall you not know it?

I will even make a road in the wilderness

And rivers in the desert.

Let it be

Don’t fight the flow of the river of God

Relax…

Let go

And let the currents take you into the new

WE NEED THE FIVE-FOLD TEACHERS

“I want to encourage all Ephesians 4:11 ‘Teachers’ in the body of Christ to function with unction! We don't need any more people chasing and posing like wannabee apostles or prophets because they think it's cool and popular. Be who God called you to be and don’t be ashamed of it!

When authentic five fold teachers minister, the grace they carry does more than impart information, they release revelation and a love for truth in the body of Christ.

Teachers- It's totally okay that people don't fall down in the altars when you pray for them. It’s fantastic that you don't give out prophecies like candy. It’s honorable that you don't see crazy miracles all the time and build your ministry off of them. Thank you for not claiming apostleship because its popular.

My encouragement to the ‘Teachers’ among us is to handle the Word of God with integrity and clarity. Keep going after discipleship! Teach the Word of God, line upon line, precept upon precept. Do more bible studies! You are a tremendous blessing and greatly needed in this generation who is chasing after the wind and their feelings. I'm with you, praying for you, and I believe all of heaven has its eyes open you in this hour. Teach!”

REVIVAL RESTORES JESUS TO FIRST PLACE⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

By: Jeremiah Johnson

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“In a revived company of believers, Jesus reigns supreme! He is preached about, sung about, worshipped, and praised. The cross and resurrection become central realities in revival. Jesus Christ as the head of the Church is magnified and honored.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Martin Lloyd Jones once said, "Revival, above everything else, is a glorification of the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God. It is the restoration of Him to the center of the life of the Church."⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Jesus never needed to be revived during His earthly life and ministry because He was walking revival. He was never out of His Father's will. The principle is the same with us. If we continually walked and lived in the presence of God, we would manifest a revival lifestyle.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Revival comes to turn us back, to restore our lives in God. This is God's central purpose, His number one priority: to make sure His Son has supremacy in our lives in all things.” (Col 1:15)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

JERKING, LAUGHING, FALLING DOWN, AND FIRE TUNNELS

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

In the Charismatic/Pentecostal movement, you will often times see and witness a variety of physical manifestations of the “Holy Spirit” such as: jerking, shaking, laughing, weeping, dancing, drunkenness, falling down, and more.

But how exactly do we know that all these “physical manifestations” are from the “Holy Spirit”? The best answer to this question in my personal opinion is to apply what I call the “Jonathan Edwards Test” to the physical manifestations. He had 5 tests that he used for them:

1. Does it bring honor to the person of Jesus Christ?

2. Does it produce a greater hatred of sin and a greater love for righteousness?

3. Does it produce a greater regard for Scripture?

4. Does it lead people into the truth?

5. Does it produce a greater love for God and man?

You have to sincerely wonder how much of the “physical manifestations of the Holy Spirit” in the Charismatic/Pentecostal movements would survive these tests? What about all our fire tunnels and impartation services? Is all the laughter, crying, shaking, and being “slain in the Spirit” producing any of the five realities mentioned above?

I do not ask as a critic of physical manifestations, but rather as a church leader who has laughed, cried, jerked, shook, danced, slain in the spirit, and had many power encounters with God. Our church services and revival weekends are often times full of the various expressions of the physical manifestations.

HOWEVER…

I’m increasingly grieved over how easily Charismatic/Pentecostals speak in tongues but yet curse at their spouse. So many are ready prophesy yet they gossip and slander without effort.

I watch many fall (slain in the spirit) during the altar calls but nothing changes. Maybe we should stop falling on the floor if we can’t take it out the door?

I’m shocked at how many in this generation are ready to lay hands on the sick while they are also laying in bed with their boyfriend/girlfriend. Ready to cast out demons publicly while perversion is active internally?

When bodies are shaking in our services but there is no pursuit of holiness- we are in trouble.

When fire tunnels are full and no one is at the prayer meeting- we are in trouble.

When getting impartation prayer replaces discipleship- we are in trouble.

I refuse to shut down the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the physical manifestations at our church and the conferences I lead, yet my heart longs for this generation of Charismatic/Pentecostal believers to marry deliverance to discipleship, to attend the powerful weekend conference but learn how to get in the Word and prayer everyday, to pursue revival but yet realize cultivating a healthy marriage and family greatly pleases the Lord.

Platform Prostitution is Going out of Business..

When God goes fishing for prophets, He always casts His nets into the secret place. (Jeremiah 23)

“God is calling a generation of prophets out of the caves of isolation and Old Testament Lone Ranger mindsets into the family rooms and dining room tables of the New Testament where they inherit the relationship and intimacy with others they were created for.

Prophets that refuse community and accountability are dangerous and cannot be trusted. It’s time for the prophetic movement to start building for legacy and family. This wounded, bitter, angry, and anti-church spirit is literally shipwrecking thousands. And its foul and nasty on social media!

Prophets: There is a more excellent way- it’s called love, forgiveness, and family!”

DISCOVERING YOUR PROPHETIC ASSIGNMENTS

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

Over the last 15 years, I have been on a learning journey discovering what the prophetic calling and metron God has given me looks like. In several painful seasons, I have had to accept that there are many arenas I am simply not called to speak into. In many other glorious seasons, I have identified key areas that God has called me to speak into and they have been been life giving and full of grace.

For anyone on a prophetic journey reading this, I highly encourage you to press into God regarding where He has given you a voice to speak into and where you simply do not have jurisdiction or authority to lift your voice and that’s totally okay! Sometimes this process takes time, will require great humility, and involve many tests that must be passed.

***Having a social media account has unfortunately caused way too many prophets and prophetic people to falsely believe they are called to prophesy into any and every event and issue that they want to and this has led to mass deception and delusions of grandeur. ***

As a prophet or prophetic person, you are released from any pressure whatsoever to prophesy into every church, movement, leader, and sphere of society. Your prophetic maturity in the years ahead will actually be measure by your RESTRAINT, not your RELEASE. In other words, it will be your ability to not speak when God is not speaking and remain focused working in the field you have been called to and not distracted by the assignments of others that will produce fresh oil in your life.

Remember, every prophet or prophetic person has a specific sphere and assignment they are called to and you do not have to waste time prophesying into arenas and areas that you have no grace for. Just rest and enjoy what God has called you into and learn how to cheer other prophets and prophetic people in their assignments.

Some prophets are called to speak to nations and governments. Other prophets are assigned to the marketplace. Most prophets are called to local churches and will never have large online platforms. Regardless of the sphere of influence, ALL prophets are called as intercessors and must spend long hours in the place of prayer to hear from heaven.

Prophets and prophetic people….

1. Stay Focused on Your Assignments

2. Practice Release and Restraint

3. Prophesy from Peace not Pressure

4. Accept Your Sphere: Large or Small

5. Humilty, Prayer, and Purity are Gold

I WENT TO HELL AND WAS STUNNED BY WHAT I SAW

By: Jeremiah C. Johnson

“Several years ago while I was extensively 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, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name did we not cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?’ And then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness.”

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 that will be sent to hell, but also people who receive all these things that will also be in hell. Why?" Immediately the Holy Spirit spoke again to me and said, "Because those that 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 that 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". Then I woke up.

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 is the full gospel message too?”
