Unauthorized Assignments, Impending Judgments
Continuing with our recent and unintentional theme of judgment, I would like to talk about the judgment that comes to the unauthorized. With all of the talk of judgment lately, I came to the point where I was getting a bit uncomfortable. I said, “God, I’m talking about judgment A LOT lately. Can I talk about something a little more pleasant?” Frankly, I didn’t want it to look like I was obsessed. And then it happened.
There in my timeline, I saw the evidence that I was not crazy and that I was, in fact, speaking in line with Heaven when I saw a post from a popular apostle hit my timeline. I don’t follow this man. Due to the sheer volume of people on my friends list commenting on his post, it landed in my view. In a nutshell, he spoke of recent near-death experiences he had had and stated that someone was after him.
I have to be honest, I was shocked at the amount of prophetic people commenting on the post praying for his health, his protection, and confessing that the enemy would not succeed. I was shocked at the utter lack of discernment. They seemed to believe that this was some sort of witchcraft attack; evangelical witchcraft or some sort of evil. But their preference blinded them to the fact that this man is NOT under attack; HE’S UNDER JUDGMENT.
I knew immediately that what had happened to him was the hand of God. Or rather, the removal of the hand of God from his life. You see, when you live in sin or step outside the bounds of your assignment, you become open to the attacks of the enemy. And this is precisely what happened. I spoke with three separate ministers—two apostles and one prophet—and all of which confirmed that the Lord showed them this man had taken on a new assignment in a new region that HE WAS NOT AUTHORIZED FOR.
People who follow me online recalled I had shared a dream on November 7, 2021 that I had had the day before in which I was warning a well known apostle that his grace was running out and judgment was near. I was calling him to repentance. THIS IS THE MAN.
Those who knew or discerned who I spoke of were inboxing me his recent post because they remembered this dream. They also remembered a more recent dream from a few weeks ago in which I saw judgment coming to the apostolic.
I shared the post myself to a few trusted individuals —not out of joy, or glee—but because I was SHOOK. I personally had not been used to seeing my dreams and words begin coming to pass so quickly.
There is much iniquity laid against him. And yet, what has come upon him—while it IS a judgment—is still a warning against greater judgment. I began to be perturbed and grieved in my spirit because while I am personally not fond of the man, I KNOW it is NOT the heart of the Father to expose and judge him. BUT HE WILL if true repentance doesn’t take place.
“if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” — II Chronicles 7:14 NKJV
“So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one. Therefore I have poured out My indignation on them; I have consumed them with the fire of My wrath; and I have recompensed their deeds on their own heads,” says the Lord God. — Ezekiel 22:30-21 NKJV
God is looking for people who will intercede for these individuals because of the wickedness that has been done; people who will intercede for mercy so repentance can come. Not people who will pray for protection and healing as if no sin needs to be atoned for. You can’t pray for protection when you’re dealing with a repercussion.
We must understand that the LOVE of God will never override the LAW of God.
Repentance—and fruit worthy of repentance (Matt. 3:8)—is a MUST if we expect to escape judgment or have it at least lessened. We must bring ourselves in right standing with Heaven so the Advocate, our big Brother, Jesus, can make a case against the Accuser of the Brethren, and the Righteous Judge can rule in our favour.
Consider that Ahab, the most wicked king in all of Israelite history, repented and God heard him! The Lord literally stayed His hand of judgment from Ahab’s household until after he died. He didn’t live to see his wife killed, his children killed, or his kingdom given to another (1 Kings 21:27-29). How much more will God hear the prayer of one of those who started off in purity? Who started well?
When I gave the word recently about judgment for the unauthorized (see Part 2), I was thinking about two scenarios. A prophet I know recently had a divine dream that a prophet on Clubhouse who had illegally taken on the office of the apostle (among other things) had come under a steep judgment. When the Lord shows him those things, they are irrevocable.
The second scenario was of a young woman I encountered on the same app who was interpreting dreams…only she didn’t have much knowledge or revelation to interpret dreams. The danger in this is you can run up against generational curses, strongmen, spirit-spouses, principalities, witchcraft, and Lord knows what else when you enter into this realm. You can also leave those seeking answers and trying to learn confused or worse, empowered with false words and running in the wrong direction because of it! She even stated openly that she was coming under attacks she had never experienced before and she could link it to the interpretation rooms she was hosting.
Beloved, we CANNOT take on assignments God has not given us and think there will not be dire repercussions. We cannot assume offices before our time. We cannot assume offices that are not ours. We cannot assume territories that are not ours.
Now the man who acts presumptuously and will not heed the priest who stands to minister there before the Lord your God, or the judge, that man shall die. So you shall put away the evil from Israel. And all the people shall hear and fear, and no longer act presumptuously. — Deuteronomy 17:12-13
Keep back Your servant also from presumptuous sins;
Let them not have dominion over me.
Then I shall be blameless,
And I shall be innocent of great transgression.
— Psalm 19:13
then the Lord knows how to deliver the godly out of temptations and to reserve the unjust under punishment for the day of judgment, and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of uncleanness and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. — II Peter 2:9-10
Iniquity, stubbornness, rebellion, presumption, arrogance, and witchcraft poke holes in and remove the hedge of protection from our lives, our families, our ministries, and everything that belongs to us.
…and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. — Ecclesiastes 10:8 KJV
The apostle referenced earlier experienced inflight health issues. Think about it: inflight…in the air. He ran up against the principalities and powers of the region because his metron and jurisdiction did not extend that far. The Lord knows our motives when we take on assignments. He knows if we genuinely made a mistake or if we acted out of arrogance or open rebellion…which is as the sin of witchcraft (I. Sam. 15:23). But don’t take my word for it. Let’s look at three examples of unauthorized assignments in Scripture.
3 Unauthorized Acts & Persons in Scriptures
King Uzziah
But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against the Lord his God by entering the temple of the Lord to burn incense on the altar of incense. So Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him were eighty priests of the Lord—valiant men. And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, “It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from the Lord God.”
Then Uzziah became furious; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of the Lord, beside the incense altar. And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked at him, and there, on his forehead, he was leprous; so they thrust him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because the Lord had struck him.
King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He dwelt in an isolated house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord. Then Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land. — II Chronicles 26:16-21 NKJV
Uzziah became “lifted up” or full of pride due to his military strength. He started well, but allowed it to go to his head. And in this state, he thought he could assume the duties of the priest and offer the incense, but Heaven said otherwise. The lawful priests tried to stop him, but he still rebelled. And as a result of his arrogant presumption, the hand of the Lord struck him with leprosy. Uzziah had to be quarantined for the remainder of his days and his son was made king, all because he didn’t know his place.
Nadab & Abihu
Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. — Leviticus 10:1-2 ESV
The two sons of Aaron were priests like he was, except they decided to offer unauthorized [strange, profane] fire before the Lord which cost them their lives. Aaron, Moses, and Moses’ sons weren’t even allowed to outwardly mourn his sons’ death because they broke the Levitical order, and to do so would have brought the wrath of God on the people (v. 6-7). This is the danger of doing what is unauthorized in the House of God.
Prophetess “Jezebel”
“Nevertheless I have a few things against you, because you allow that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, to teach and seduce My servants to commit sexual immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.” — Revelation 2:20
“Indeed I will cast her into a sickbed, and those who commit adultery with her into great tribulation, unless they repent of their deeds. I will kill her children with death, and all the churches shall know that I am He who searches the minds and hearts. And I will give to each one of you according to your works.” — Revelation 2:22-23 NKJV
Now when Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she put paint on her eyes and adorned her head, and looked through a window. Then, as Jehu entered at the gate, she said, “Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?”
And he looked up at the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” So two or three eunuchs looked out at him. Then he said, “Throw her down.” So they threw her down, and some of her blood spattered on the wall and on the horses; and he trampled her underfoot. And when he had gone in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “Go now, see to this accursed woman, and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.” So they went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull and the feet and the palms of her hands. Therefore they came back and told him. And he said, “This is the word of the Lord, which He spoke by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel; and the corpse of Jezebel shall be as refuse on the surface of the field, in the plot at Jezreel, so that they shall not say, “Here lies Jezebel.”’” — II Kings 9:30-37 NKJV
In this case, we have a woman possessed by the spirit of Jezebel who took on an entire office she was unauthorized for. And with this illegal office, she swayed and seduced God’s people into doctrines of devils. Jesus is warning the Believers in Thyatira that He gave this woman a chance to repent, but because she didn’t, He will throw those who’ve compromised with her into great trouble and smite those who follow her teachings with death. And as 2 Kings shows us, the end of Jezebel herself is always death. Just ask King Saul, Absalom, Adonijah, Ahithophel, Herod Agrippa, Balaam, Delilah, and others.
Unauthorized is DANGEROUS. I recall a word I got last year about the matters and mysteries that I teach. I even have to be careful with what I teach and to whom because someone can take that information, run with it, and wind up dead! I KNOW the attacks on my life were designed to take me out. According to the Marine Kingdom, I should NOT be alive right now. If I made it to 2022 alive, I should NOT have had my right mind. But I was authorized for it! I didn’t look for a fight; it came to my doorstep. I didn’t ask to be a prophet; God ordained and consecrated me from the womb. So if those attacks were designed to take me out and I was authorized for the warfare, what will be the end of those who take on these matters without God’s protection?
This is dangerous territory. So as you see the death of ministries, ministers; as you begin to see both ecclesiastical and secular leaders unceremoniously unseated this year and beyond, just remember that operating illegally is a spiritual crime that comes with steep repercussions. God desires that we all repent (2 Pet. 3:9). Yet if we refuse His call, judgment WILL find us.
Repent therefore and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, so that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord… — Acts 3:19
REPENT TODAY!!
