It has become the norm these last days for many believers who quite easily employ the "Thus sayeth the Lord," to others.

In the Old Testament times there were no Christians. There was no Holy Spirit living and abiding within anyone. Therefore God raised up the prophets who acted as the middlemen between the nations, enemies of God, and even to individuals.

After we have been born again, we have received the indwelling of the Holy Spirit forever. There is no need for anymore prophet to confront and rebuke people.

Yet there are many that have taken it upon themselves the old testament prophet's mantle to execute the judgments of God, or corrections and demands to repent in the name of the Lord. That is now the maturing work of the Holy Spirit exclusive.

They find scriptures that are full of God's wrath that have to do directly with historical events, and the prophetic future wrath of God, and apply them to others in "Jesus name."

There are untold numbers of casualties. Many wounded and damaged people that leave scarred.

Peter drew a sword and cut off the right ear of the high priest. But Jesus "touched his ear, and healed him." Jesus did not give us Peter's sword. He does not need us to "call down fire upon them as Elijah did."

We are never called to hurt people with God's pure and holy word. A mere touch of Jesus will heal with great power.

I believe that the gift of prophecy is alive and working powefully in the world in its proper context and form. But the Old Testment mantle of the prophets no longer exists. It ended two thousand years ago.

Pray for those you think you see in error or other matters. Take it to the Lord and let Him do His own convicting work of correction that gives mercy and leads to repentance, comfort and love.

Let God be God. We are commanded to love.

"He said “Love…as I have loved you.” We cannot love too much." - Amy Carmichael
