WHY IS GOD URGENTLY WARNING AND CORRECTING HIS PEOPLE?
God is urgently warning and correcting his people because we have divided from his original oneness. This division was done by others living before us, but we are the ones God is holding responsible for following the Holy Spirit back to be one. The Scripture's teach against division. "You are still worldly. For since there is jealousy and quarreling among you, are you not worldly? Are you not acting like mere humans? For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another, “I follow Apollos,” are you not mere human beings?" (1 Corinthians 3:3-4 NIV). Today, we follow Baptists, Catholics, Pentecostals, or another, but in the Scriptures there is no authority from God to follow any others, but only Jesus! "Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil" (Hebrews 5:13-14 NIV). We "...have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions" (Mark 7:8 NIV). THE VALENTINE PROPHECIES is solid spiritual food to grow and mature us before Christ. THE VALENTINE PROPHECIES is refining us ready for Christ. Those who refuse God are left behind to refining persecution and become one, as martyrs for Christ, before heaven. God's easier way is for those who obey now!
LEARNING ONENESS:
We must grow and mature to be ready for Christ's return, and not put ourselves at risk of being left behind to the coming horror. It is the time for spiritual awakening, the time for spiritual intimacy, for oneness, and for walking and talking with God. It is time for oneness together and oneness in the Father, in the Son, and in the Holy Spirit. Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me--just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd" (John 10:14-16 NIV).
GOD'S ECHO AND SHADOW:
The best example of a servant of God is Jesus. To serve God, Jesus heard God speak, and Jesus spoke and taught what he heard God first speak to him, and Jesus did what he first saw God doing. So Jesus was like an echo of the Father and like a shadow of the Father. Jesus said it this way: "For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken" (John 12:49 NIV}. And, 'Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does"' (John 5:19 NIV}. Prophets and anointed teachers of God's people, must do as Jesus did, if they are to please God like Jesus. Additionally, every type of servant of God must hear God speak, so he knows with confidence what he is to do for God's glory. To walk and talk with God is not just for prophets, elders, teachers, and church leaders, it is for every servant of God so every servant of God knows he is serving according to the will of God. For your own personal spiritual confidence, develop spiritual intimacy and oneness and walking and talking with God. Having God at your side as a walking and talking friend, provides you with a spiritual powerhouse of strength, confidence, and authority direct from God. As you chat and share with God, he will reveal to you knowledge that is essential to grow you, equip you, expand your wisdom, increase your insight, and make you strong. Then you will be able to live "...on every word that comes from the mouth of God" (Matthew 4:4b NIV); and you will be able to, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. ... (And), ‘Love your neighbor as yourself...” (Mark 12:30-31a NIV). You will then be living in oneness in God, like Jesus did.
BE ONE AS WE ARE ONE:
If walking and talking with God is new to you, you may wonder how far we can go in spiritual intimacy and oneness in Father, Son, and Spirit. Can we have what Jesus had with the Father? Jesus prayed in John 17:20-26 requesting for us the same oneness he knew with the Father. Jesus put it like this in John 17:22b (NIV), "... that they may be one as we are one." This is astonishing. So the answer to the question of how far can we go, is this: We can go all the way and have what Jesus had in relationship with the Father. If you have never known this and the Spirit is prompting you to have this, God has thought ahead for you. In the book NO TURNING BACK: FOLLOWING JESUS IN THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, God told me to add in the Appendices the knowledge he taught me about developing spiritual intimacy and oneness in God. And with THE VALENTINE PROPHECIES God told me to add chapters about developing a one-on-one walking and talking relationship with him. However, oneness is not just about us with God, it's also about all of us with God. God wants us to return from church divisions to oneness. Heaven is one, God is one, but his people are divided. The whole world is divided and needs an example of oneness to follow, and the example of oneness must be the oneness of God's people. Presently, we are not a good example of oneness to follow, because we are not one, but divided. 'Come and see what the Lord has done. See what amazing things he has done on earth. He stops wars all over the world; he breaks bows, destroys spears, and sets shields on fire. “Stop fighting,” he says, “and know that I am God, supreme among the nations, supreme over the world”' (Psalm 46:8-10 GNT).
