In Matthew 7:21-23, Yeshua says any person who does not believe in him but casts out demons, prophesies and perform great works in his name BUT IF THEY DO NOT OBSERVE GOD’S LAW, WHEN THEY COME BEFORE YESHUA, HE WILL SAY “DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY, I NEVER KNEW YOU!”
1.Shabbat Shalom to the saints. Today’s topic is: YAHUAH’S PROPHET AND A FAKE PROPHET.
2.Firstly, I should define a prophet from a Hebraic perspective because Yahuah’s faith system came upon a Hebrew-speaking nation! From a Hebraic viewpoint, a prophet is a messenger of Yahuah our God.
3.God may mandate His prophet to anything, as long as he would act in accordance with Yahuah’s commission in action or word!
4.Unfortunately, nowadays there are too many people who claim to be prophets. By ‘prophet’ they just mean someone who is capable of predicting which is, in most cases, similar to ‘divining!’
5.Possessing a spirit of deciphering hidden things, if it really exists, is not necessarily the same as being a prophet! As we have pointed out, a prophet is a person who is GOD’S MESSENGER!
6.Yahuah sends one to revive His Law among the people or to warn them about a sin that they commit as well as its potential consequences.
7.In Deuteronomy 10:12-13 it is written: “And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?” – King James Version
8.These verses highlight Yahuah’s entire faith system that every person that claims to follow it should be aware of.
9.Firstly, one should love Yahuah with all their heart and all their soul. That means one should make Yahuah their only God!
10.Secondly, one should OBSERVE ALL YAHUAH’S PRECEPTS. Yahuah’s precepts or Law are contained in Moshe’s five books known as the Torah.
11.But worshipping Yahuah is not limited to observing His law as written by Moshe, but one should also keep the teachings of all Yahuah’s prophets including Yeshua. In our case, as the Nazarites, this includes Prophet Isaiah Shembe’s teachings about Yahuah’s Law!
12.That is why we remind each other about Yahuah’s Law by reading all the books of the prophets!
13.Not observing Yahuah’s Law as brought down to us through Moshe, and also reiterated by the prophets, IS TANTAMOUNT TO SINNING!
14.In summary, sinning means doing anything that contradicts God’s commandments as contained in the Mosaic Law and prophets’ teachings!
15.Many pious people do not observe God’s Law because many churches do not provide sermons on the essence of sin!
16.The first sin is committed through thoughts. If one lusts after a woman by fantasizing about her, that is regarded as the sin of fornication in heaven!
17.At death, when appearing in front of the heavenly Judge, this woman will appear, and you will consummate your carnal relationship in front of heavenly multitudes! But here on earth one commits that sin alone!
18.Likewise, a woman who lusts after a man, after her demise on earth she will appear with that man and consummate their imagined relationship in front of the heavenly beings and thus be considered an adulterer or fornicator even if she has not committed it in physical body! Read Matthew 5:27-28.
19.We should, therefore, avoid committing the sin of lust because one may think that it is trivial because it is committed in secret mental recesses, but the time shall come when one will commit it in full view of everybody!
20.This does not just stop with lust, but whatever sin that one would commit, even if committed within the heart, irrespective of whether they succeeded or not, it has been committed according to heavenly standards because sin is committed first through thoughts.
21.If one wishes to murder a person, irrespective of whether such attempts have succeeded or not, even if one ended up just contemplating to commit the act without any logical accomplishment for some reasons, the sin of murder will still be recorded in heaven. All these are mental sins which, if accomplished, one would have physically committed them.
22.One commits another sin through a particular behaviour. It is a sinful act for a woman to wear or act inappropriately according to standards of her church! That means that such acts are not acceptable to God!
23.Currently, many things that are done by women, which they consider precious to them, such as applying coloured lip gloss and so on, are an abomination to God!
24.There are many things that are done by men ,such as getting tattoos on their bodies, which are an abomination to Yahuah!
25.Refrain from doing all things that God has said the pious must not do, because there will be time when all this will cause sorrow for you!
26.A completely wise person does not just plan for their earthly future, but they also consider their spiritual future, considering the final destiny of their soul!
27.Here we are still alluding to mental and physical sins of the pious!
28.I am aware that after death, God or Yeshua does not remain the same the Forgiver of sins that we are always told about because if you did not forsake the sine whilst on earth, you should not fool yourself about getting forgiveness at death!
29.The challenge is that in our churches we are not given the gospel that will make us acceptable in heaven at the end of our earthly journeys!
30.Yeshua does not always teach about this grace that we are constantly lectured on in our churches!
31.These are Yeshua’s teachings on observing God’s Law which prove that the grace that we are always lectured on does not exist in heaven!
32.In Matthew 7:21-23, Yeshua says any person who does not believe in him but casts out demons, prophesies and perform great works in his name BUT IF THEY DO NOT OBSERVE GOD’S LAW, WHEN THEY COME BEFORE YESHUA, HE WILL SAY “DEPART FROM ME, YOU WORKER OF INIQUITY, I NEVER KNEW YOU!”
33.I do not know why the pious are not taught about this passage because it alludes to our celestial future, clarifying what character will make Yeshua accept us in heaven!
34.When Yeshua says he will accept us only if we observe Yahuah’s Law, he is not referring to any other God other than the One who brought it down through Moshe!
35.Even Yeshua taught about the same law in Mathew 5:17-19. The main challenge is that we are not taught that Yeshua, as well as Sha’ul, taught about the Mosaic Law though this is written in the Bible!
37.If we are custodians of the Word of the Lord, it is vital that we teach the people how they conduct themselves on earth if they are to enter heaven!
38.In Matthew 13:41-43, Yeshua says: “The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth.
39. Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear!”
40.So, why on earth do we not teach each other about Yeshua’s sermon? When do we ask how a righteous person looks like according to Yeshua; how does an evil person looks like?
41.We should ask ourselves what the phrase “all things that offend, and them which do iniquity ” actually means and how we can reconcile with God and become righteous once more because the whole matter revolves around us?
42.But here we are discussing prophets and fake prophets.
43.Firstly, people should know that any spiritual entity, especially that of Satan, is capable of showing us what will happen, which many refer to as prophesying. I often hear people saying “THE HOLY SPIRIT” came to and said…”
44.If you claim that the Holy Spirit came to you, or God came to you, how did you know that was a holy spirit?
45.In the Bible, prophets only appear in the Old Testament; nobody ever became a prophet in the New Testament.
46.Within Moshe’s faith system, the last person to be known as a prophet was Yeshua who was followed by Muhammad; here we had Isaiah Shembe (Peace Be Upon Him).
47.We follow their teachings on the importance of observing God’s Law in order to ascertain if they were true prophets, not whether they were seers!
48.I am not a Muslim but am aware that Muhammad was Yahuah’s prophet because I have read the Qur’an and discovered that he taught about the Law of God as it was passed down upon us by Moshe!
49.All Yahuah’s prophets revive His Law which was brought through His servant Moshe!
50.I always admit that I used to sacrifice to ancestral spirits, consulting mediums though I was a Nazarite!
51.I practised these things though my parents never practised them, but I did them because they were widely practised in my church, having forgotten that what we were doing was in contradistinction with the Law of God!
52.But one day we were visited by an angel who just walked on foot. Though we had figured out that she was a spiritual person, the way she spoke proved that she was a divine being!
53.I invited my aunt who was a medium to come and explain what kind of a person our frequent visitor was. My aunt said that was a family angel whom we should welcome by sacrificing to her.
54.When I was about to look for a goat, the angel arrived and said: “I understand you want to sacrifice a goat to me. Who taught you that there is any other divine entity that people should sacrifice to except Yahuah alone; am I Yahuah?”
55.She then read a passage in Exodus 22:20: “He that sacrificeth unto any god, save unto the Lord only, he shall be utterly destroyed!”
56.That is when the angel started reminding us of the third verse of the Shabbat Liturgical Prayer in which Shembe instructs us to fear Yahuah by observing His Law which He wrote to us through His servant Moshe so that our worship may be acceptable to the God of hosts!
57.By 4 January 2010, when I was mandated to preach, the angel had already taught us how we should conduct our lives if we wanted to go to heaven!
58.Now, you who is claiming to be a prophet, beside deciphering future events, what did God say to you about teaching the people to live by His precepts?
59.There is a young USA prophetess. When I first saw that maiden, I just knew that she was Yahuah’s prophetess!
60.Even before I heard what she had to say, her dress code just showed that she was controlled by God’s spirit!
61.I can boldly assert that beside Prophet Isaiah Shembe in contemporary times, Yahuah has sent the prophetess to earth! I do not need to explain many things about her because she appears on YouTube and on Tik Tok!
62.But I was surprised to find that there are believers seriously hate this prophetess because they feel she is a fake prophetess, trying to analyse her!
63.The reason why they hate her is that she mentions sin, telling them about their sins, but that is a prophet’s duty!
64.Like all the prophets in the Bible, 80% of this prophetess’s message is about sin, showing us how dangerous it is to dwell in sin!
65.When this prophetess preaches about sin, she does not generalise, but she becomes specific, mentioning exactly what we should refrain from doing!
66.That is why she has become an adversary to those who claim to be pious while they work satanic, iniquitous acts!
67.Others say she is a false prophet because she names and shames people who claim to be prophets whereas they had to sell their souls in order to possess such powers.
68.This prophetess identified famous prophets and declared that they had to sell their souls in order to gain such powers, said God would expose them; indeed, their evil works were exposed through their deaths!
69.Their followers insulted her with all sorts of hateful words, but what she predicted has finally come to pass.
70.But what is so significant about this prophetess is that she does not just predict future events, but her preaching is perfectly similar to that of biblical prophets such as Yirmeyahu and Yeshayahu! Let us all conduct our lives in accordance advices of Yahuah!
May the Lord bless what you have heard.
