Only Servants Are Called Prophets

In the Last Days, many will claim to speak for God as His anointed prophets. However, the true test of a prophet is that they are servants of the Most High God. Servanthood is a great subject that’s not understood or recognized in the modern world but is essential for every true believer in Christ. Many of the great prophets and Apostles of old claimed that they were servants of God and later servants of Jesus Christ their Lord. There was a clear understanding of the meaning of Lord, who is Master, a meaning all but lost in our present day. The early Christians understood the relationship between the master and the servant or between the lord and the slave. It was an easy concept to grasp when they followed Jesus Christ as Lord and Master. They happily accepted their new position as slaves to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. They understood the amazing benefits of being in the household of an all-powerful God and the great responsibility of being His servant. Let us pray that we will also understand the depth and majesty of this relationship between us and the Most High God of heaven and earth.

Many professed followers of Jesus Christ in our day have become experts in all the benefits while neglecting the weightier responsibilities of being a servant or a slave. Any brief observation of the many posts on social media or the preaching from the modern-day pulpit will attest to the glorying in the benefits while they neglect the responsibilities of being a servant of God. So, what are our responsibilities of being a servant? The closest approximation for our day is being a server, a waiter, or a waitress, to meet the needs and desires of the customer. Although our God has no needs, He does have desires given to us through His written Words in the Bible, that accentuates all of His beautiful commandments. Ideally, the Words in the Bible along with God’s beautiful commandments should be written on our hearts through regular reading of the Bible, so that we know how to serve God. The Holy Spirit is given to every believer to bring back to our memory the Words written on our hearts to serve God in every area of our lives. When the Word of God and His beautiful commandments come back to our memory, then we must act upon it by allowing the Holy Spirit to guide us.

Yes, the Holy Spirit will bring the Words written on our hearts back to our memory, so, we must learn how to actively listen and obey the Spirit’s leading. Dear children, this is not scheduled only once or twice during your daily prayer times. It is scheduled for every moment of every day, always listening for the Spirit even when you are conversing with others or actively involved in another project. Yes, we have the God given ability to do more than one thing at a time, so there is no excuse for not listening to the indwelling Spirit every moment of every day allowing Him to be our guide. A word of caution here: you do not need to tell every person you run into that the Spirit told you such and such. Believe me, the Spirit of God will lead you when this is necessary. Mostly God is looking for obedience from His servants, not just lip service. We must learn to listen, then we can keep in step with the Spirit (Galatians 5:16-26). He is our Guide. The key to listening is to stop thinking and stop filling your mind with every vain imagination. I know this will be difficult for most, but it is necessary to practice silence and solitude so that we can hear what the Spirit is saying to us and the church (Revelation 3:22).

When I am writing or speaking to others, I take great pains to hear only what God is saying through the Spirit. I have also done this when doing biblical counseling, always waiting long before speaking. I have discovered that most people are not much interested in what we say, but only in what God has to say through us. As servants of God, who keep in step with the Spirit, we quickly realize that serving God is not only speaking but doing. Again we must listen. When the Spirit says speak, then we speak God’s truth, encouragement, or admonishment. Only the Spirit of God can lead His servants to speak a word of prophecy or to powerfully use their Spiritual gifts for His glory. If we are listening, speaking, and doing as the Spirit leads every moment of our waking day, we will turn the world upside down. Unfortunately, most believers have grown mute while around their families, at work, at school, or in public. Only listening, speaking, and doing, as we are led by the Spirit, will prove that we are true servants of God. Only God’s true servants, who listen to His Spirit, can make a real difference in the world. Unfortunately, we live in a world where everybody is speaking and doing but nobody is listening. To be a true servant of God always starts with listening.

We live in a world where everyone wants to spend an enormous amount of time researching, studying, and using their own knowledge to change the world. The only one that they are listening to is self. Self has become all-important building their pride to the point where it egotistically rubs off on everyone. This is the spirit of Antichrist seen in most leaders and politicians in the world. You can see what their pride is accomplishing, it’s bringing the world to the brink of total destruction. Yet, servanthood is the gateway to true greatness in the Kingdom. The Bible says, “But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted” (Matthew 23:11-12). This is the true path to servanthood and greatness because only humility will shut our mouths and open our ears. There is absolutely nothing in us that can make a difference in others and the world. All of our wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge will make no difference. Only God’s truth spoken through His written Word and brought to our minds by the Holy Spirit will make a difference. If you truly believe this, then you are ready to make a difference. If you believe this, then you are ready to become something out of nothing by the power and majesty of the Almighty God.

Only servants are called prophets. Servants are only called prophets because they have humbled themselves under the righteous hand of God. Everything they speak comes directly from the Spirit who resurrects a memory of God’s Word that was implanted in their hearts. This implanting was not made possible by memorizing God’s Word. People have memorized the entire New Testament and have remained pagan. This implanting by the Spirit is made possible through a heart-felt conviction that brings forth a time of weeping, remorse, and true repentance promising to never commit the trespass or to ignore the teaching again. When the Spirit truly has our ear through repentance and willingness to follow through on all of His teachings, then we will hear the prophetic Words of God for a lukewarm church that has greatly stumbled in our day. Thus saith the Lord, “Only true repentance will make a difference and stop the righteous hand of God pouring forth the bowls of His wrath.” Changing man’s laws, fixing global warming, and destroying nations threatening the West will not stop the righteous hand of God. Pretending to have a revival without true repentance will not stop the righteous hand of God. Imagine what the world would look like if everyone who claims to follow Christ truly repented by allowing the Spirit of God to write God’s laws upon their heart through heart-felt conviction and true repentance. Dear children, without true repentance the world is headed for the apocalypse, much sooner than you think. We are on the precipice.

Prepare For The Journey

Every true believer in Christ should prepare for the journey beyond this life, even when we don’t know when it will be. We all know that the journey must come, either at our death or at the coming of the Lord. We also know, if we are honest, it can come at any time, in the twinkling of an eye. We will all make the journey. We will all go to a place to be judged in God’s predetermined time, but only God’s elect children will continue making their journey to the gates of heaven. Only the ones who have been chosen since the foundations of the world will be welcomed into paradise (Ephesians 1:4). Make no mistake, only God’s chosen children will have a deep indescribable desire to prepare for the journey. It is our responsibility to help God’s children to prepare now. We should not take this responsibility lightly. Let us all roll up our sleeves and get to work. If you throw this article down and have no interest in preparing for the journey, then you will be most pitted amongst God’s creation and you will have a most difficult time proving your election. So, please let me encourage you to read this entire article very carefully with much prayer and meditation. Your time is coming much sooner than you think. Continue reading Prepare For The Journey

Patience in the Coming Destruction

There is destruction coming upon the whole world that will drive humanity to horrific shock and the depth of unimaginable despair. We can spend hours discussing what will cause the destruction and even longer following the world in useless preparation or we can seek the risen Lord. As we seek the risen Lord through deep prayer and meditation, then we learn what’s been lost for a millennium. We learn that the patience of the saints will be our sure defense against the Antichrist spirit. The patience of the saints will give us the inner strength to maintain our spiritual integrity and a peace that truly defies understanding. We will be unmovable as our brazen face confronts the raging storms ahead. Our hearts and minds will be captured by the radiant bliss from heaven allowing us to look beyond all that is falling upon a world gone mad. Sadly to say, this is a world that has pathetically turned to evil in mass. So, how can we, living in the Twenty-First Century, recapture this amazing gift, given to our ancient forefathers, the patience of the saints? We will accept this gift one step at a time by allowing God to bring us into a deeper walk with Him. Our deeper walk with Christ, will allow us to stand firm in the patience of the saints as we are tried with the fires of affliction. Continue reading Patience in the Coming Destruction

November 7, 2022

There is a lot of major events happening now in the world. Most people don’t see them all, nor can they correctly connect the dots to understand what they mean. We are living in unprecedented times that will eventually effect every person living on the planet. We sound the alarm not to frighten but to encourage God’s children to repent and walk closer to their Lord. If we just look at some of the recent events happening, then our eyes should be opened wide to what’s coming soon upon the whole planet. The sun just knocked out power in parts Australia and all of New Zealand with a huge solar flare. There is a sub-tropical storm that could quickly turn into another Hurricane that’s currently bearing down upon Florida and the Southwestern United States. NASA has just warned of an asteroid headed towards earth that was hiding in the sun’s rays. Tomorrow there will be a total eclipse of the sun on Election Day in the United States. The West is beginning to grow complacent as most of Ukraine is plunged into total darkness and cut off from fresh water by the continuous bombing by Russia. Iran continues to supply arms to Russia as North Korea is openly practicing nuclear launches for key locations in South Korea and the United States of America. And to top this all off, the midterm elections could bring unprecedented changes to the nation, the West, and the entire world. Wake up dear children. Although the wrath of God will never touch His elect children, God does discipline His precious children when they stray from the path. The Lord has not changed His mind about growing Spiritually every day by putting off the old life and putting on the new life in Christ. He has not changed His mind about trusting God alone to give us everything we need for life and Godliness. Let’s all get back on the path. This is Daniel Blair reporting for Tribulation Radio.

Grasping the Benefits of Christ

If the human race really grasped the benefits of Christ everything around us would immediately change. We have had many people, some no doubt wiser than myself, try to explain the grandeur and majesty of these benefits. There have been hundreds, perhaps thousands, of pages written by some of our most ardent Christian scholars to plummet the depths of this most profound mystery. I dare say, over the centuries, there have only been very few in each age that has truly understood the great mysteries and benefits of Christ. These are bright lights shining in the darkness. These are the ones who have touched the very essence of Christianity through the indwelling Holy Spirit. These are the ones who have sat long at the Savior’s feet waiting for Him to open their minds to His abiding presence. They have waited patiently to understand the glorious benefits of being in Christ, to experience the great joy, and peace that truly defies understanding. As we fast approach the end it’s essential that we fully grasp the benefits of Christ. Let me encourage you to fully grasp the benefits of Christ and not settle for what can be seen on YouTube or social media. Please don’t settle for what the lukewarm church is offering.
