I love how God reveals His Word to ME for ME.  You see my
beloved brothers and sisters that although I do indeed
claim much revelation from God there are a couple of things
I would like to say.

As you have seen, and God was SO good to "reveal" to ME is
that although He is infalable, I am not.

I had a "revelation" on the topic of the "anointing."  I
take odds with this term but will use it in the context of
the "manifestation of  the Presence of the Spirit of
Christ." 

I was listening to John Hagee this morning (yes I have a TV
but don't watch it much at all) as is my custom on Sundays.
 I do this that I don't have to set my alarm, since I know
the schedule of these "preachers" (Parsley, Hagee and
Paulk) and it keeps me abreast of the latest heresies.

I have always been amazed that if I listen with a decerning
spirit that I can indeed "glean" much real truth from these
messages.
I can say however that in this spirit I decern that much of
what they do is pronounce from their own mouth, judgement
against themselves.  Rod Parsley once preached on the text
about "adding and taking away" from the Bible and said that
what ever a man added or took away from the Bible would be
added or taken away from him.  He then proceeded to "quote"
Acts 2:38 but he 
"left out" "in the name of Jesus Christ" and therefore from
his own mouth left this out of "his" plan of salvation.

Today, old Rod was doing his usual "showboating" and said 
"Don't shout ME down just because "I'M" preaching good."
and at another point "I'M really prechin' now!"

John Hagee gets on the screen and not 10 minutes later says
that
you should not listen to any preacher that thinks that it
is "him" that does the preaching.  This is of course after
he had just "crowed" about "his" book that "he" had just
written "himself" and then in the next sentence informed
the crowd that they should also beware of those who
wouldn't give God the Glory.

You see God has made His Word alive to me through these
"revelations."  Couple this with the fact that He has been
dealing with ME on the Scriptures about the Word being
sharper than a two edged sword in this manner: for the
Justified one edge of the sword "cuts away" their sin and
"separates" them from it and for those who would follow
their "own" course to their own justification the other
"edge" separates them from the offensive bit of flesh, in
their case, their HEAD.  Same sword, same hand that wields
it and in the end the same purpose: to cut away the 
"dead" flesh.  The results are for the Justified; life, and
for the unjustified; death.

You see my family, the "anointed" parts of these messages
contain judgement for the speakers AND for the listeners
that hear these words and don't follow them.  What God has
"revealed" to ME is that He has indeed given those that
will be saved in these congregations THE message: by their
own words these men are not to be listened to.  To those
who won't listen,
when God "reveals" this to THEM on the day of judgement He
will say "You thought you were mocking me but I was mocking
you and your 'master' the whole time!"

I don't know what Bro. Blume means exactly by Spiritual
confirmation but the point I and Pastor Bassett are trying
to make is this: The confimation in my spirit is for MY
benefit.  I can list this as a revelation since this is
what it is.  Should you then 
by the nature of this heading consider this as infallible? 
For me IF I am not decieved, yes but for you, whether I am
decieved or not, no.  This and all revelation is personal
but has broader implications to the Body a large. 

You see, the revelation was to ME but the deeper underlying
truth, the one that will or will not STIR in your heart of
hearts is 
for YOU and we BOTH recieve that that accomplishes His
purpose whether to our personal salvation or damnation.

As Pastor Bassett refered to Timothy, I would like to also
restate the there are many vessels on the Master's table;
some unto honor and some unto dishonor.  God makes it hard
to tell which is which so that you HAVE TO LOOK INSIDE to
tell the difference.  

This is not a reflection on any individual but my statement
of the part of the "revelation" that God gave me
personally.  As you saw from the example God made of me,
Glory to His name, even when someone recieves a revelation
they may "jump the gun" as to the meaning of this and in
some cases use these things to their own end.

I thank God for His mercy an His chastisement.  Whom He
loves, He beats the "Hell" out of!  (Litteral paraphrase) 

I always say and say again that if what I say is the Truth
then follow it and if it is not then tell the Truth to ME
that we may both know.  God will not leave US in the dark.

That it is, friend!
