Jeremiah 7:28 “You shall say to them, ‘This is the nation that did not obey the voice of the Lord their God or accept correction; truth has perished and has been cut off from their mouth.”
Romans 1:25 “For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.”
📖 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 (KJV) “Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,
And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.”
Oh boy, do we in humanity still love that golden calf of lies and deception. As long as it comforts our heart and tickles our ears, we will love that idol of lies. Even when it’s as clear as day, in front of our faces, we will cling to that untruth if it makes us feel good; If it gives us a fleeting moment of pleasure.
The word of God has something to say about truth. We as Christians should love the TRUTH above all other things. Even if it’s uncomfortable. Even if it humiliates us and makes us the fool in front of the world stage (Hello, I’m Michael. Met me yet?). We must always stand for the TRUTH. And what greater truth is there than the fact that Jesus Christ, God in the flesh, came into the world to save sinners from the power and penalty of sin and on the third day rose again?
We must all in the body of Christ stand in integrity for the truth. Even if it requires throwing ourselves on the sword to do so. Because in the end it was never about us, our channels, our subscriber count, our reputations, or the money in the bank. It’s about Him. We should let nothing stand in the way of the truth. Especially our own ego, pride, or comfort. To place anything over the truth is perilous, as the Word of God testifies.
Over the past month I have lost many of my “Christian friends” to this date setting ordeal. Many of the people who in early September were telling me how much they loved me, and claiming to be my best friend/biggest supporters; when that date came and went and I did the right thing and apologized, those same people turned on me and became vicious enemies.
I was gaslit. I was accused of “giving up my crown”, losing the faith, being weak, “spiritually castrating myself”, being a foolish virgin, not having the Holy Spirit, being a tare…. And on and on with the accusations. All because I apologized about setting a date that clearly failed. Now, here we are after the (3rd? 4th?) failed date by Joshua and his group of followers. That didn’t age well, did it? Just recently Joshua put up a post saying:
“The wheat and tares have been divided and Jesus spoke to me (again). He’s coming on October 16/17th (for realz this time).”
Basically accusing anyone who did not side with him of being a tare. His followers went on for weeks after his first failed prediction doing the same. How many times I heard from these people that anyone who wasn’t seeing the same grand revelation that they were seeing must not have the Holy Spirit. Grand revelation, huh? What calendar are we looking at now? It’s October 19th! You have been wrong EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
So, if by your own words the wheat and tares have been divided, who’s who? Because what I have seen is that almost NOBODY has shown true repentance over this whole ordeal, or the damage it has caused. Sure, I have seen a few apologies. But within a week those apology posts disappear and they are back on the Joshua train spewing out dates. I have seen my “friends” turn their backs on me because I dared to do the right thing and apologize. When confronted, they respond with “I will never apologize for watching”. Nobody is asking you to apologize for watching. You are called by the Word of God to repent from falsely prophesying dates.
But what does the Word of God matter these days anyway, right? We have thrown that into the garbage can and lit it on fire over the last 4 months here on YouTube, am I right?
According to many:
“Holding prophets accountable to the word is law, everything is open for interpretation, and if you dare burst my rapture bubble you are a foolish virgin from hell.”
Am I offending some of you? Good. The online body of Christ needs to be offended. We have strayed from the path of truth and everyone is too busy smelling the other’s butt crack that we have forgotten the source of all truth isn’t dreams, visions and confirmations. It’s God’s word. We have allowed our desire to get off this rock, and our emotions to rule and dictate our course and walk. And everyone is too afraid to say it.
Well, I’m done being afraid to say it. We were DECEIVED by a man who has now told the world Jesus spoke to him THREE TIMES. And all THREE TIMES came to NOTHING. How long before we take accountability for our actions? How long before we accept reality? God does not lie, folks. That’s the simplest truth in scripture. He didn’t tell this man three different dates and lie three times.
I have seen your posts, your videos, your words. You make it clear. You don’t want to accept reality about this, because to do so would admit fault and would call into question your dreams and experiences, and you just aren’t able to do that. You can’t do that, you say. What that tells me is that you aren’t standing in truth. You refuse to receive the truth and instead follow a lie because it’s easier to swallow. A few verses come to mind:
King James Bible Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish.
2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear.
I know I am not itching your ears right now. Just like I wasn’t itching your ears when I came out and said I was wrong in my apology video. I don’t care. We were wrong. We need to accept it and take accountability. You can hate me. You can be mad at me. But in the end, it’s not me who is your judge. We all will stand before the Most High God and give account. I led many astray by getting onboard the Joshua train. I will NOT double and triple down as many have. Enough is enough, folks. We need to heal from this. But we can’t while we double down.
