Over the course of my walk with the Lord, there have been so many things about the “Dream Realm” that have baffled me. (I don’t mean confused here, rather I am speaking to being left in a place of wonder.)  I can remember saying to the Lord: “Father, why don’t you just TELL ME what you want me to know directly, instead of speaking in the parables of a dream?”

Well, let me tell you something — Father WILL answer our questions. He reminded me of something I’ve written and taught for years from the book, The Scribal Anointing, based on Matthew 13:10-11, 13. (I only skipped verse 12 because I am not teaching on this part in this article.)

Knowing The Truth From A Lie

Setting A Foundation

I received a question today from a Believer. The question was simple, “How am I to know the truth (of God) from a lie?”

Before answering it, I want to make this statement: No believer, no matter how holy people may want you to believe they are, is above deception. While we are not to be paranoid, we are to constantly remain on guard against doctrines, practices, idolatry and beliefs that oppose the heart, mind and will of our Father in Heaven. Those who have been walking with the Lord a while as his “elect — meaning chosen” can fall prey to deception just as a “proselyte or a babe” can be deceived.

In other words, it is “possible” for any believer to fall prey to the lies of the enemy — regardless of who they perceive themselves to be; how long they’ve been saved; what they may be doing or where they think they are going at any particular moment in time.

Recording & Releasing Prophecy

Posted on by Theresa Harvard Johnson

The avenues for publishing the Word of God are opening to Father’s apostolic and prophetic mouth-pieces like never before. Hearts are being moved to launch blogs, start social groups, release through social networks, launch email campaigns, push prophetic newsletters, publish magazines, etc. Whether you or I realize it, what you write or release can be key in bringing understanding to the hearts of God’s people concerning a biblical truth.

You see, what starts off as a prophetic word or word of encouragement distributed to a few close friends via email about a coming move of God or what-have-you, could inadvertently end up traveling the Internet circuit — ultimately embarking on a journey of multiplication that extends FAR BEYOND those five or six people you initially sent that email to. We forget sometimes that in the digital world things published on the Internet are never really deleted. There are web archive systems that constantly take pictures of entire websites — saving them by date and storing them on servers years after that website has been taken down. Who knows what systems are capturing emails. Check it out for yourself! One such system is called the “Way Back Machine.” Click the link to try it for yourself. For fun, just type in www.voicesofchrist.org. They have seven years worth of our archives on their server — and its perfectly legal.

It is for this reason that the SERIOUS prophetic writer must begin to listen to sound advice and begin to step beyond their “comfort zone” or even the “way” they’ve been taught to hear from Heaven concerning the delivery of that WRITTEN word. As prophetic people, our “good name” must be guarded. (Proverbs 22:1; Ecclesiastes 7:1)
