“Larry Bobo wrote in part: 'The 70’s were overshadowed by John’s vision of breaking into the kingdom in 1979... and the coming world destruction. We were into survival training including food storage and studying herbs, the silver mine that would release finances for the word to be published, cutting off family ties, focusing away from personal higher education and careers and working in kingdom businesses...' - Gee Larry, when you put it that way it sounds bad.”

My real point is that all of these "prophesies"were false and nobody seems to care. Deuteronomy 18:19-22 says,”19 I myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to my words that the prophet speaks in my name. 20 But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, is to be put to death.” 21 You may say to yourselves, “How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?” 22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed.”

Within TLWF, the truth no longer matters because you think it carries more weight that you have a revelation of the vessel - and can simply ignore anything else. I would suggest that rather than having a revelation of the vessel, you are actually under the deception of the vessel. Go outside your inbred group and see if anyone else is willing to obey you as Christ in the flesh - they will laugh! Yet you claim to be a part of the overall Body and believe in confirmation. It's like the Pharisees that pile up loads on others, but were not even willing to lift a finger themselves. Others must obey you, but you will not listen to other mature believers in the Body. God will cause it all to work out if you submit and they are wrong anyway, right? Funny how you have such a difficult time swallowing your own medicine. Jesus warned us about those who would come in his name claiming they were the Christ. When you discard the plumb line of the scriptures, there is trouble ahead - in spite of your revelation otherwise. We seem to insist on learning lessons the hard way for some reason.

I appreciate many of AD’s recent posts that highlight the words of Jesus. That to me is evidence the Holy Spirit is at work. The Holy Spirit brings to remembrance all that Jesus taught and he leads us into the truth. The thing that is so profound, as the Holy Spirit brings freedom from the bondage of TLWF, is how clearly Jesus stated what we would need as Christ followers – it’s even in red letters in most translations – and yet we are unable to see it. I’m constantly amazed at what is hidden in plain sight.

As a side note about words from God, God himself calls into account when someone does not follow what a mouthpiece for Him has spoken. (See above scripture) It’s not the responsibility of the speaker to play God and also be the enforcer of that word in another person’s life as happened in TLWF. Granted, nothing would have happened in TLWF if it would have been all left up to God to enforce His own word, because it never was a word from God in the first place. e.g. praying for Martha to die – after all that “intercession”, John died and Martha was unscathed. So much for the “sons of God” super powers.
