Open Heavens, Glory Portals, & Prophetic Misunderstandings

3/25/2017

Any prophet declaring that a "glory portal" will open over SELECT cities lacks an understanding of Jesus' finished work at the cross, the believer's position in Christ, and an understanding that Jesus is the consummate fulfillment of Beth-El (The House of God), The Gate of Heaven, and Jacob's Ladder. The angels of God ascend and descend on the Body of Christ. We are IN HIM and HE is IN US! JESUS is MORE THAN ENOUGH PORTAL FOR US ALL! We have the ability to function freely... FROM heaven ON this earth! A simple study of John 1:51 and Genesis 28 bears this out. The Extra-Biblical hype may stir the faith of some to walk in what has always been theirs. Nevertheless, it isn't a "fresh glory portal". Christ in you is the Hope of Glory (Col. 1:27). We are ALL Glory Portals! God is no respecter of persons, nor is He a respecter of geography! You don't have to wait for Jesus to "come to a city near you"! Wherever we "make our bed", He is there! There is NO PLACE where Emmanuel ("God with us") isn't with us!

This is by no means an attack on any group or individual. I love prophets (and am considered to be one in some circles) and the prophetic. The ignorance and abuse just truly grieve me. Too many folks are attempting to walk as New Covenant gifts with Old Covenant mindsets.

Shalom

Humans can either make this world a better place or they can make it a crappy place. It is usually apathy that makes it crappy--what the Bible calls "lukewarm." People who actually get out there and do things with both feet into it are the most wonderful people I know. They come from all classes and all around the world. I can imagine heaven filled with people like that, but I cannot see one person who does nothing in his life there at all. Those people don't even seem human to me.

As far as your maybe-prophet situation, here is your litmus test. The MOMENT anything you prophesy turns out to be untrue--even once--you are not a prophet. That's how it works. You have to be correct on all points through the career. This isn't a guessing game.

Very cool blog, friend. Got me thinking!

Works do function hand-in-glove with Faith once people receive God's Love and a revelation of their identity in Christ. As for people who "do nothing", I respectfully refer you to the thief on the cross who recognized Jesus and His Love...just prior to his death. God is immeasurably gracious with people...even prophetic folks who are growing in Grace.
