Popcorn Prophecy

QUIT RUNNING TO & FRO COLLECTING "WORDS" Last week I shared a message called, "KNOWING THE WILL OF GOD". In my short journey with God, I've discovered that I must have an EAR to the voice of JESUS & those He has placed over me in Him. Instead of getting everyone else's OPINION of what I should do...I should be listening to the voice(s) of those He has set over my life to INSTRUCT me, CORRECT me, STRENGTHEN me & INVEST in me. What does it say about me...if I go to everyone else trying to get DIRECTION but I neglect the voice(s) of my leader(s). I say, It speaks volumes. Many people, in this last day, are driven by POPCORN PROPHECY. They run to anyone who seemingly has a "WORD" to give. But friend, we must be aware of the person(s) who are constantly giving WORDS out to everyone else but their own life is lacking stability. The Apostle Paul birthed many believers. He LED them & FED them. Since he had INVESTED in them, he had the authoritative right to be DIRECT with them & place a DEMAND on them. Again, be very careful running to and fro, collecting opinions. And on another note...as a Pastor, when I hear the same name of a person coming up in multiple conversations, I realize that there is TOO MUCH TALK going on. Lord have mercy. Sister Hoopindidle is not your counselor. Your counselor is the HOLY GHOST. Everything you have need of is in the WORD of God. You don't need a word from Sister Hoopindidle to get you through...you need an ALIGNED WORD from The Lord. And guess what? He's often using your PASTOR to point you in the right direction. I pray each of us will have an EAR TO HEAR according to the PATTERN of the five-fold GRACE GIFTS. (Ephesians 4:11-12) PS: If you're need a word...here it is..."Get To Church!" 😁

Foot, Knee or Elbow?

Have you ever heard God speak to you through a foot, a knee or an elbow? No...these body parts are not equipped with the ability to hear or speak. They may be able to FLEX and BEND but they are not a HEARING member.

You need a COVERING.
You need a PASTOR.
You need a SHEPHERD.

When did we become so brazen to believe that we can come & go as we please...do what we want...based on "how we feel"?

Elbows, knees & feet do not speak.

If you've been listening to an elbow, foot or knee give you instruction, counsel or direction...you're going to end up SIDEWAYS with a crooked path in the wrong direction.

God operates in the realm of ORDER. He is not the author of confusion. Your covering can only confirm what God has spoken. But rest assured when God speaks, it will be in order and confusion will not be present.

ALIGNMENT births ANOINTING.

David was in alignment when anointed by Samuel.
Elisha was in alignment when anointed by Elijah.
The disciples were in alignment when anointed by Jesus.

Quit listening to popcorn prophecy form elbows, knees & feet. They can flex their knowledge but they are not a hearing member.

I partially address this in yesterday's 2020 Leadership Video "6 Things Leadership Have Taught Me." I choose to stay up under a covering & remain blessed & blessable.

John 10:2-5  2 But he that entereth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. 4 And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. 5 And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.

Blessings,

Pastor Hylton
