I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent (super) apostles, even though I am a nobody. 2Co 12:11
Look out here they come! Hot, red hot, super anointed super apostles ready to initiate the populace into their revelations and their anointing. Step right up and get your miracle. “Hurry up, before I am no longer hot”, they say, “and don’t forget to put your seed (money) in my coffer”. They are wealthy and have huge followings. Masses of people pour into their meetings and listen to their declarations. People bark, growl, and laugh hysterically, fall out, convulse, and are frozen in trances. This is the power of the anointed ones upon the attendants. They are the Generals of God, the brokers of the new Pentecost. They announce a worldwide revival that God is bringing through Holy Ghost power.
It matters not so much what the bible says, though they love to twist its words so that gain and godliness become one in the same. No need to test the spirits. Anyone who does is judged as a heresy hunter who will fry in hell for daring to question one of the Lord’s anointed. No longer are the “old paths” sufficient. No longer is it in vogue to “not go beyond what is written”. Instead, Revelation knowledge is the happening thing for many in the church today. The few voices of objection are overwhelmingly squelched by shouts of attendants who have come to “Joel’s Bar” to get a drink from a Holy Ghost bartender. Sensationalism, professionalism, and emotionalism are the favorite cocktails served in the church.
The old love letters of biblical parchment are no longer sufficient for faith and practice. God is doing a new thing they say. Watch the gold dust fly from their hair, and watch the fillings in the mouth turn to gold. Behold little birdie feathers floating down from the ceiling with the incense of angels permeating the room. Come and get your blessing from these anointed ones while they are HOT!
If I sound a bit sarcastic it is because I am. I am amazed at the foolishness and shallowness of so many in the church. Don’t chase after these flamboyant and self –promoting super apostles. Take a quick glance of the heart of a true apostle, Paul.
1Co 4:9 For I think that God has set forth us last, the apostles, as it were appointed to death; for we have become a spectacle to the world and to angels and to men. 10 We are fools for Christ's sake, but you are wise in Christ. We are weak, but you are strong. You are honorable, but we are despised. 11 Even until this present hour we both hunger and thirst and are naked and are buffeted and have no certain dwelling place. 12 And we labor, working with our own hands. Being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it; 13 being defamed, we entreat. We are made as the filth of the world, the off scouring of all things until now.
Jesus is “God’s Anointed” follow hard after Him.
