Let's jump right into it.
ANGELS
Angels are NOT dead People. Angels are angels and people are people.
Angels are NOT cute babies.
Angels are NOT (Feminists brace yourselves) Women. 😲
(The Bible ALWAYS refers to them in the Masculine form.)
ANGELS are HEAVENLY beings sent by God with a specific task and/or message to share with a specific person or group of people.
They may interpret visions and dreams or bring a certain message to a specific person or group of people
(like Gabriel often does).
"While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man. And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision.”
OR they may be sent to protect and fight for a specific person or group of people
(Like Michael, who is the Guardian Angel of Israel)
"Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him."
(Revelation 12:7-9)
LINK to ALL of Revelation chapter 12 😃
"After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life."
(Genesis 3:24)
PROPHETS
A Prophet is an EARTHLY Human being sent by God and assigned with a certain message and/or task to a specific person or group of people.
Now let me make this EXTREMELY clear... 🤨
(say "Amen" out loud if you're really listening)
...the Bible has a CLOSING PAGE and this applies to Prophecy too!
Currently there are TONS of people, both men and women, who declare themselves to be Prophets and Prophetesses of the Most High God. They're NOT ❗️
Let me say this, I've been a Pentecostal for Forty-Five YEARS, I've spoken in Tongues, been Slain in the Spirit, had dreams that were visions and occasionally had a Word of Knowledge...
That does NOT make me a Prophetess❗️
I have heard many, MANY people say they have had a "Prophetic Word from God" most of the time it's to increase their Following, gain position, prestige and power, then hit everyone up for money.
Jesus and the Apostles warned us these False Prophets would come in droves in these End Times.
Please don't fall for their lies. 😟
"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves."
(Matthew 7:15)
"For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth talk and flattery they deceive the minds of naive people."
(Romans 16:18)
WATCHMEN (or sometimes Watchwomen)
A Watchman on the Wall in the "Olden Days" was a man who stood on the City Walls and kept a look out for trouble coming so they could sound the Alarm.
"At the end of seven days the word of the Lord came to me:
“Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the people of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me.
When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sin, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.
But if you do warn the wicked person and they do not turn from their wickedness or from their evil ways, they will die for their sin; but you will have saved yourself."
(Ezekiel 3:16-19)
(This is a calling to be taken DEADLY seriously.)
In today's context, Watchmen are people appointed by God, to analyze the world and the times we live in and match it up with Bible Prophecy in order to warn people of events yet to come so they will repent and place their trust in Jesus alone for their salvation and needs.
Now let me make this EXTREMELY clear...
(Say "Amen" out loud if you're really listening)
... WATCHMEN are NOT Prophets. They interpret Bible Prophecy that is ALREADY in the Bible. Okay? Are we clear on that now? 😠
Let me address the fact that many women have been called to be "Watchmen" because I am one of them.
In the Bible there are few female Prophetesses, few female Church Leaders and NO female angels (we've already covered that, right? 🤨)
HOWEVER, ☝️there are some in the Bible.
Just like there are a few female Bible Teachers and Watchwomen, I believe the reason God has appointed us is because we are AVAILABLE and there just aren't enough men doing it. It's not ideal, but we're what you're stuck with until more men come forward
OR until the Lord returns for us. (Sorry, Folks. 🤷♀️)
Now let me make this EXTREMELY clear...
(Oh. Here we go again. 😒)
(say "Amen" out loud if you're really listening)
... Women can be Bible TEACHERS but not the LEADERS of a Church and they are NOT suppose to be telling the men what to do.
I'm sorry. Don't shoot the messager. This is what the Bible says (repeatedly). If you don't like it, take it up with the Author. ☝️
🌺🌿🌺🌿
I hope this has Clarified and Simplified what the Bible has to say about these things. I have told you for the same reason it's written in the Bible, so that we won't be deceived and go astray, which is happening a LOT these days, especially with all the Wolves in Sheep's clothing trying to cram "doctrines of devils" down our throats.
"Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils;
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;
Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."
(1 Timothy 4:1-3)
("abstain from meats". Do I detect an anti-Vegetarian and anti-Vegan Bible command there? 🤔)
It continues to be my deepest and most earnest desire to bring you,
The Truth with Love
Always Laura-Lee ☺️
