A great deal of Christians and church goers, use God’s name to elevate themselves. They attach persons, places, or things onto God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit’s, name, in order that they might appear to be more spiritual than they really are. One can usually hear such individuals saying things like, ” the Lord told me this, and, the Lord told me that “. It was a certain person that I once knew, who use to do this all the time. Every-time I would come in contact with her, she always had a word from the Lord for me. I knew it was not from the Lord, because the things that she told me, just were not true, and, God does not make mistakes. She would claim to be prophesying over me, and, then, the next day I would observe her being very cruel to other person. She was also a big racist, because on a few occasions, I had to rebuke her for certain racist comments that she would make towards blacks and Hispanics, even though she herself was Hispanic. Very few people on planet earth today, know God like Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Elisha, Job, and, the Apostle Paul. Yet Moses, Elijah, Job, and Paul, become so discouraged and frustrated with their walk with God, until they desired death. The point that I am making here is that one has to spend a great deal of time with God almighty, in order to hear from Him through signs and wonders. According to the holy scriptures which I study, the living God does not give visions, signs, and wonders, to everybody and their mama, every minute of the day. Such actions are not biblical, and, I would hypothesize, that a lot of folks are running around lying on God. These folks are prophesying, out of their own hearts. They are prophesying deceits, lies, and deceptions. By no means, am I saying that one cannot give a person a prophetic word from the Lord, because he or she can, since prophesy is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit in I Corinthians, 12: 8-10. I am referring to individuals, who claim to be prophets and prophetesses. God gave the church apostles, which usually refers to the 12 which walked with Jesus Christ. There are no more apostles in the church today. God gave to the church prophets. There are no more prophets in the church today, and, we have not had any since the last book of the New Testament was written. God gave to the church evangelists. Evangelists will serve the church until Jesus Christ comes. God also gave to the church pastors and teachers. Pastors and teachers are local ministers, whereas, apostles, prophets, and evangelists are ministers at large. Therefore, beware of people who want to practically work you to death, at many of these churches for free, and, then attach God’s name onto it. More than likely, it is more about them, than it is about God. Most people who do this, are either working at the church full-time, and are receiving a salary,or they have retired from a career, and the church  ministry is all that they have. Therefore, the ministry has become an idol to them and they have not realized it. Usually, these are directors or assistant directors over certain ministries in the church, such as the ushers, the choir, hospitality, greeters, the parking lot ministry, prayer ministry, or other ministries at the church.  It is great to work in a ministry or ministries at the church, as long as one understands that he or she is doing it for the Lord Jesus Christ, and, not for people. A person should never let another individual, put him or her in bondage, or make him or her feel guilty, if he or she does not want to do something. So to often, church leaders say or do things, to make those in their congregation feel guilty, in order to control them. Statements such as, “you are letting the Lord down, or if you were really a Christian, you would do this, and, you would do that”. Such statements are nothing short of witchcraft. Christians and church goers should not use God’s name to control or manipulate others. So, stop pimping God’s name.
