MAN'S CREDENTIALS REQUIRED
Because the church cannot hear Jesus, and does not know Him, they never go to Him and ask Him if a prophet, or a prophecy, or another message, is from Him. Instead of letting the Father show who is from Him, and what message comes from Him, the church has substituted a doctrine, in which a messenger from God must have man's approval. They require credentials from the proper school, or words of approval from the "right" people.
Moses killed a man, as did David, and Paul partook in the murder of one of Jesus' servants. Which of these men's writings do you not read and live by? Of course you know that they have the Father's approval. You know because He gave His approval, and it was written into the Bible. Yet at them time that the Father spoke through the people I have just mentioned, many rejected them. You have the Bible to vouch for these servants of God, but what about now? God should be allowed to speak to us in any manner He chooses, and we should believe Him, even if He chooses to use donkeys to speak as He did in the past. The credentials that servants of God truly need are grace, blood, and the Holy Spirit. And these three agree.
What credentials from man did Amos have? He was a shepherd. He saw what the Father showed and He told the people what He saw and heard in obedience to God. Who was Jonah, or Daniel, or Deborah, or Paul or any of the Apostles? They were men and women just like us. They spoke by the will of the Father, not by man's will.
When Jesus went to the right hand of the Father, He sent the Holy Spirit. Anyone who comes to Jesus and receives Him, will receive the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has a voice. In Acts 10, Peter had a vision of a sheet with unclean animals. Peter said that he had the vision three times, then the Holy Spirit SAID to him, "Don't be afraid to go with the men at the door because I have sent them." This is an example from Scripture to point out that the Holy Spirit talks. He speaks, and if we ask Him, He will show what is true, and who is speaking from Him.
All these errors stem from the false doctrines that God can't speak, and if He can, then it is only to special people. Since the church doesn't simply ask Jesus and let Him answer, they have adopted these doctrines as a substitute to hearing Jesus themselves. The enemy of God, and the enemy of those who love God, Satan himself, has been active in the church to help foster these "doctrines of demons" which lead us away from God and from His will and away from knowing Him.
If we wonder about a prophecy, or a prophet, or a message supposedly from God, then let this be the final word in the mouths of everyone who loves Him, "LET US ASK JESUS!"
