ROOTED RENEGADE

The Lord gave me this word this morning, August 26, 2022 at 10:54 am. This is a warning for pastors who are leading God’s people (sheep).

I was in the shower and the Lord gave me a vision of a pastor standing on a stage in a church. His face looked like a man and he had the pulpit stand in front of him. His head was the serpent as if the top of the serpent was sitting on top of a man’s head and his back was the mixture between the lizard and serpent. His tale went all the way down and out like a serpent except the end of it looked like a lizard. He was standing on feet like a lizard with legs of a man and his hands were that of a lizard and were placed on the pulpit stand. His mouth opened and a tongue came out like a serpent mixed with a lizard and stretched all the way out into the sanctuary. What came out of his mouth was deceptive and manipulative. What I heard the Lord say was that “pastors in the pulpit are leading His sheep astray and they will be judged for it”. He reminded me of the scriptures in Revelation that says “He who has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches”. He told me to add no fluff (meaning my own interpretation) to this and add the Scriptures from Revelation and be done because He is coming after those who are in the pulpit leading His sheep astray.

Scripture References

Revelation 2:5-7 “But I have this against you: You have abandoned the love you had at first. Remember then how far you have fallen; repent, and do the words you did at first. Otherwise, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place, unless you repent. Yet you do have this: You hate the practices of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate. Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God.”

Revelation 2:14-17 “But I have a few things against you. You have some there who hold to the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to place a stumbling block in front of the Israelites: to eat meat sacrificed to idols and to commit sexual immorality. In the same way, you also have those who hold to the teaching of the Nicolatians. So repent! Otherwise, I will come to you quickly and with against them with the sword of my mouth. Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who conquers, I will give some of the hidden manna. I will also give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name is inscribed that no one knows except the one who receives it.”

Revelation 2:20-29 “But I have this against you: You tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess and teaches and deceives my servants to commit sexual immorality and to eat meat sacrificed to idols. I gave her time to repent, but she does not want to repent of her sexual immorality. Look, I will throw her into a sickbed and those who commit adultery with her into great affliction. Unless they repent of her works, I will striker her children dead. then all the churches will know that I am the one who examines minds and hearts, and I will give to each of you according to your works. I say to the rest of you in Thyatira, who do not hold this teaching, who haven’t known the so-called secrets of Satan – as they say- I am not putting any other burden on you. Only hold on to what you have until I come. The one who conquers and who keeps my works to the end: I will give him authority over the nations – and he will rule them with an iron scepter; he will shatter them like pottery- just as I have received this from my Father. I will also give him the morning star. Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit says to the churches.”

Revelation 3:2-6 “Be alert and strengthen what remains and is about to die, for I have not found your works complete before my God. Remember then, what you have received and heard; keep it, and repent. If you are not alert, I will come like a thief, and you have no idea at what hour I will come upon you. But you have a few people in Sardis who have not defiled their clothes, and they will walk with me in white, because they are worthy. In the same way, the one who conquers will be dressed in white clothes, and I will never erase his name from the book of life but will acknowledge his name before my Father and before his angels. Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”

Revelation 3:15-22 “I know your works, that you are neither cold or hot. I wish that you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot or cold, I am going to vomit you out of my mouth. For you say, ‘I’m rich; I have become wealthy and need nothing,’ and you don’t realize that you are wretched, pitiful, poor, blind, and naked. I advise you to buy from me gold refined in the fire so that you may be rich, white clothes so that you may be dressed and your shameful nakedness not be exposed, and ointment to spread on your eyes so that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and discipline. So be zealous and repent. See! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me. To the one who conquers I will give the right to sit with one on my throne, just as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. Let anyone who has ears to hear listen to what the Spirit is saying to the churches.”

“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come.” (Revelation 4:8b)
