I do not usually comment on 'prophecy' but this appeared on my Facebook today.

"Many are being deceived and it is VERY subtle. We are seeing the layers of separation and the Lord is dividing apart the marrow from the bone in this hour. The enemy comes as an angel of light and 'looks' like the real thing - 'looks' like a 'good' thing and even 'looks' successful. Many of you are basing your discernment on things like something 'looking' good and this is seeing it from a place of the flesh and this is where you can be deceived - we must discern from a place of the Spirit - IN THE SPIRIT. So True Prophets dream and have visions? Yes, do not run out and think now that everyone who dreams and has visions are false. We must learn true discernment...

There is a lot of 'I dreamed this and I had a vision of this' and there is NO MESSAGE OF REPENTANCE. GOD WANTS OUR HEARTS!!! He is FED UP with the IDOL GAMES - no more playing church - He is drawing a line in the sand - it is time to choose whom we will serve - THE TIME IS SHORT and JUDGEMENT IS COMING!!! IF we are not HIS (totally controlled by Him, His voice for today) then we are of the world period!!!

It is time to stop coming into agreement with the false prophets! Again, they have an appearance of being true, BUT it is all about their great visions and dreams etc. but NO MESSAGE OF REPENTANCE!!! Be vigilant and gain understanding of how to rightly or righteously discern..."

The messages like this continued with more of the same:

"WE ARE TO STOP LISTENING TO THE FALSE PROPHETS AND COME OUT OF AGREEMENT WITH THEM!!!!! Read the whole chapter of Jeremiah 29, God speaks of this very thing in this chapter - THIS HAS BEEN WHY MANY OF THE BLESSINGS WE THOUGHT SHOULD BE COMING ARE NOT COMING YET"

I had a concern about all this and posted as follows:

1.  A very scary and very general warning so that those who tend to fear will become more fearful, those who tend to guilt will come under guilt and those stuck in judgmental Christianity will be confirmed in being judgmentalism. I would prefer a word that said that more of God's goodness, mercy, and loving-kindness is coming because this is God's essential (ESSENTIAL or primary) nature, NOT judge.

Response from other posters: When I read this prophecy, there was no condemnation, no guilt, shame, judgmentalism ... Just a confirmation of His Word spoken recently to my spirit in His gentle loving way.

I continued with this comment:

2.  Here is what creates anxiety, nervousness and fear - something that makes a big difference (great harm or great good) and difficulty knowing which choice is right or wrong. That this makes a big difference is comments like: " Here is what looks like this could be very important "He is FED UP with the IDOL GAMES - no more playing church - He is drawing a line in the sand - it is time to choose whom we will serve - THE TIME IS SHORT and JUDGEMENT IS COMING!!!" Here is an example suggesting we will find it difficult to know the difference: "The enemy comes as an angel of light and 'looks' like the real thing."

Wendy says "Many are being deceived and it is VERY subtle." In other words those who are not 'true' prophets of not really led by the Spirit will not discern. So how is the ordinary Christian not to get afraid by such a message? How are we to know that we are not being deceived by this VERY subtle deception?

Sometimes truth is puzzling, even paradoxical.  Hebrews says we are to strive to enter the rest.  That seems a little strange.  Similarly Wendy is advocating, exhorting that we be lead by the Spirit and live in grace.  The ONLY way that God will get ALL the Glory is IF we are Spirit led."  That is another strange truth - yes grace, yes gift, yes lead by the Spirit, but by pushing for grace and being Spirit led, she almost encourages us to try to do it as a carnal work of our flesh.  We strive to be lead by the Spirit and we strive to live by grace and in our striving, block grace and the Spirit.
