Prophets Call for Accountability
00:03:02

|
| Something that I really underlined here was prophets will call for accountability in the pulpit. | |
| And I think we have been so used to pandering. | |
| You could almost, can I just be really straight talking? | |
| You could almost play bingo with the prophets. | |
| You know, don't. | |
| But you could, you know, and a prophet knows how to play to a crowd. | |
| Oh, you're going to advance. | |
| Oh, you're going to break through. | |
| Oh, you're going to be rich. | |
| I see a car. | |
| Here comes promotion. | |
| Yay! | |
| The crowd goes. | |
| And the egos all feel massaged in the room. | |
| And can I tell you, I have had to do this a couple of times. | |
| It is the most shocking, shaking things of my ministry where I've had to publicly say to a man, God did not call you into ministry and he's about to remove your church from you. | |
| And I am literally, you know, it was a horrific. | |
| It was horrific. | |
| And do you know what I said to God at that moment? | |
| You better come up with something brilliant right on the eye. | |
| Because his wife, I rarely tell this story. | |
| His wife jumped up, punched the air and said, Yes, thank you, Jesus. | |
| I knew it. | |
| And she was my best friend in that. | |
| Oh, I believe this. | |
| But actually, the Lord then said this, find his son. | |
| And I'm like, where's his son? | |
| And he was playing the drum kit. | |
| I didn't know. | |
| And the Lord said this, that man, the son, stole his father's church keys, had a set cut so he could sneak into the church to intercede for it in a way his father was not. | |
| And he said, because that man, that young man, his son, prayed through the night, I will give him the church that his father was never supposed to have. | |
| Can I tell you, I thought they were going to stone me. | |
| And I remember ringing my husband saying, God, may you never ask, you know, saying to David, may God never ask me to do that again. | |
| But I actually feel like God is saying, we are going to do that over and over and over again. | |
| And there are moments where I've sat in the front row and I have seen adultery in the leader. | |
| And I have literally got my head between my knees and prayed, God, would you be merciful to that man? | |
| And God is saying, Emma, I'm not going to let you or the prophets bury your head between your knees in the front row and pray for mercy. | |
| I'm going to ask you to clean out my house. | |
| And I think there is this phrase that we're hearing at the moment. | |
| Do not sit at tables that Jesus would have turned over. | |
| And do we like it? | |
| No. | |
| Do we want to hear it? | |
|
Love Of Kingdom First

|
|
| No. | |
| Can I actually say, do you and I want to be those prophets? | |
| Actually, not really. | |
| You know, let's be honest. | |
| And I think God is purifying his prophets. | |
| He exposed their fleshliness through the debacle with some of the political prophecies that went horribly wrong. | |
| You know, he exposed their love of their nation that was first when they should have loved his kingdom first. | |
| So they heard about their nation in the wrong way because they didn't love the kingdom of God first. | |
| And God says, look, the prophets have been shaken and purified. | |
| Why? | |
| Because I actually now need to use them to clean up my house. | |
| So I think that's what came out. | |
| Was that that was a long way to answer your question? | |
| Wow. | |
