Give Up This Mistaken Tone! Prophesying in Purity by His Spirit
We must be aware that not all prophecy, even when accurate, is given of God.
There are at least three or four different categories of prophecy:
- Prophecy derived from the “second heaven” the realm of Satan and his demons.
- Prophecy from the traditions of man.
- Prophecy out of our own fear.
- The Prophetic Word from the mouth of God.
Prophecy must be tested
As Scripture instructs us:
“Do not spurn the gifts and utterances of the prophets [do not depreciate prophetic revelations nor despise inspired instruction or exhortation or warning]. But test and prove all things [until you can recognize] what is good; [to that] hold fast.” 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21.
So let two or three prophets speak [those inspired to preach or teach], while the rest pay attention and weigh and discern what is said. (1 Corinthians 14:29)
Caution
I have recently read a few prophecies over the last couple of months that have greatly grieved my spirit.
As I read I heard from The Spirit that there was a mistaken tone in the work, and I heard, “Give up this mistaken tone”
I have a great caution in my spirit about some of the Words that have been recently coming forth publicly prophesying destruction to America, and the demise of president Trump.
I am concerned that there is prophesying from either their soul, or with information from the second heaven; prophesying destruction, and prophesying out of fear.
I personally have had “Encounter Visions” regarding President Donald J, Trump where The LORD took me over America and showed me the Angel of Justice weighing the balances in favor of Trump and The Father’s mission for him regarding America.
The LORD took also took me to the Scriptures in passages from Isaiah in 2016 — before other people were publicly talking about these scriptures and showed me that Trump was a modern day Cyrus.
Keep in mind, The Father didn’t give us a “Sunday school teacher” in Trump.
The Father knew the type of grit and commitment that was required against all odds amidst the onslaught of gross and deep darkness upon the peoples and the land.
Test the Prophetic Word by The Spirit, through The Word, and trusted Counsel.
We must be careful and accountable to the Word that we feel we have received of The LORD, but we must test it against our own soulish constructs.
The Word of God and His faithfulness must be preeminent — not the traditions of man producing short-sited eschatologies, or the fear-mongering whispers of the enemy.
When we have received a word causing fear, this is not from The LORD. He has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7)
This may instead signal a whisper from the enemy, or a glimpse into the plans of the “second heaven” which is the realm of Satan and the demonic.
In this case, Pray in the opposite spirit — thwart the enemy’s activity and bring in the rule of both the “Mercy of God” and the “triumph of God”.
When we see a destruction coming this is what The LORD has commanded of His children from 2 Chronicles 7,
“If I shut up heaven so no rain falls, or if I command locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people, if My people, who are called by My name, shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave, and require of necessity My face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:13-14.
I had very clear directions from Father God in 2011,
“In these coming days when you see that I have shut up the heavens, or sent destruction to the land, or pestilence among the people, you stand in the gap and pray for intervention and mercy.”
The Father gave me the distinguishing activating instruction, “When this happens, as My children — you stand in the gap and bring My Peace.
When Judgments come into the earth because of sin, My Children are called to “stand in the gap” and Pray for My Mercy and Provision!”
Testing both the Character and the Word
Before we exalt a Prophet’s Word in the public forum, it is wise to have evidence of Words that they’ve given that have actually come to pass, and evidence of the person’s integrity and sources of influence.
I’ve walked with The LORD for over 40 years. In the early years I realized that The LORD had given me a prophetic gifting and calling.
There was however, great personal training and personal honing that I had to go through in order to make me a ready vessel who sought not only to give a precise word, but to walk, “after God’s heart” in Mercy, Love and Truth.
Things that He disclosed me about people and situations were extremely precise, but He also made it very clear to me that before I would be ready to prophesy publicly and wider than the local ministry that He had given me, the Word “given me” would have to be tested “wider”.
He told me specifically that a Prophetic Word that He had given me concerning the Body of Christ would first have to come to fruition.
It was 20 years before the first public Word that He had me give would come to fulfillment.
It was a very difficult Word that I had to present for a Ministry that had come into the community and violated trust with many of the local Churches.
This outside Ministry came in and swept youth off their feet and out of the local Churches with the allure of a “Soulish Christianity”.
I had to prophesy to some of the local leaders who had asked of me, but they themselves were taken in by the deception, enamored by the soulish energy of this team.
The LORD had told me: “This was not a move of God. It was man’s kingdom building, with dangerous sexual undertones, and no love at the core.”
My Word was not received locally, but eventually it has proved very accurate.
Up in Canada we are seeing a few of those Ministries now come to exposure.
Father Extends Mercy in His Judgements
An important understanding in giving a difficult word is to recognize the mercy of God in the midst of His judgements.
Father God goes to great lengths to extend His grace for those caught in webs of sin… “Not willing that ANY should perish…” (2 Peter 3:9)
In the case of these ministers that I mentioned above, Father extended time after time Grace for them to have the necessary discussions, admonishing them to seek prayerful counsel beyond their own closed circle, but they refused, and their kingdom crumbled, with much damage “in the wake”.
To provide a bit of reference for my journey as a Prophetic Intercessor, allow me to relay again from my article “Watchman’s Journey over America” copied below:
America! A Watchman’s Journey — Jan 1 2025
” From the hills of obscurity, He takes us, forms us, shapes us and remakes us, as vessels to carry His light. We become the prophetic act in His hand.
The process — painful and long — as He shapes our will and forms our character in the crucible of His Holiness, purifying us by the hand of His Love.
2008
I looked at my two teen aged children in shock at the announcement on the news. Tears from deep within me rose up, tears that spoke of death upon the news of who was to be seated in the highest office in the land over a nation.
These were the same kind of prophetic tears that The LORD had given me in the past over those who would succumb to their illness, going home to be with The LORD.
“Was this death of a Nation LORD?”
Thus began my call to intercede in earnest for this Nation, as I watched the accelerated societal decline on every level.
2011
Walking across the land, Father spoke very clearly to my spirit, “In these coming days when you see that I have shut up the heavens, or sent destruction to the land, or pestilence among the people, you stand in the gap and pray for intervention and mercy.”
As The Holy Spirit gave me understanding to the Word of The LORD, I realized that difficult times of judgment would soon be evidenced in greater measure in the earth, but that the people of God, could, and would effect change, and bring Heaven’s Authority and Provision for those in His Kingdom, and those “coming to salvation” if we would stand in the gap and plead for mercy in the midst of judgement.
2012
An Election stolen. Shocking death grip in the heavenly realms, tied to the thrones of iniquity in the second heaven.
I began to see in The Spirit Realm the coming destruction that the second heaven was prophesying.
Seattle space needle destruction — West Coast tsunamis — Fault Line earthquakes — oh the bleakness, and heavy crushing weight of burden that I felt in the spirit.
2013
2013 “CHANGE IN TIME” announced from Heaven: In the first month of the year, The LORD showed me a clear and precise vision of the faces of three clocks placed side by side, and had me “read the vision” from right to left.
One was facing slightly to the right, one full center, and one facing off to the left.
• The clock on the right had the hour hand on the twelve, and the minute hand stopped on what should have been a three, but was written on the clock as a thirteen (13).
I said, “Father, there’s not a thirteen there, what is that?”
He said, “It is the year 2013.”
• The clock facing center was moving in regular time, according to the actual time of the morning, about 9:05. (9 is a number that in Hebrew, speaks of “birthing”)
• The clock facing up and to the left had only numbers, but there was had no minute or hour hand on it.
I asked The LORD what He was showing me. He said, “There is a change in time.
The destructive agenda of the enemy had been stopped for a season; a new day could be set in motion by the watch of The Church.”
I understood that the future timing of events would be up to the true Remnant Church, and set in motion by their standing in the gap, and turning wholeheartedly to The LORD.
2014: Word of The LORD: Times and Seasons
In 2014 in August, as I was outside in evening worship, The LORD showed me four distinct skies: one of glory, set against another section of darkness, another portion of sky with the fog of clouds, and then a glorious sunset that lit up magnificently, but plunged quickly into darkness.
He then spoke to me out of Habakkuk 1: “Look around… among the nations and see! And be astonished!
Astounded! For I AM putting into effect a work in your days, that you would not believe it if it were told you.” (Habakkuk 1:5)
Filled with awe, I fairly ran inside to go look into the Habakkuk Word and began to pour over it, The Holy Spirit illuminating my spirit as He continued to speak deeply to me.
I realized that the very cry of my heart was met here in these passages, in the grief that I felt over such terrible evil, and the atrocities of our time…
I invite you to read the short book of three chapters, and see our very society in these pages — the arrogance, compromise, and debasement of leadership written within the text.
Father highlighted the following passages very clearly to me as an indication of our final days:
“For the vision is yet for an appointed time and it hastens to the end [fulfillment]; it will not deceive or disappoint. Though it tarry, wait [earnestly] for it, because it will surely come; it will not be behindhand on its appointed day.” Habakkuk 2:3 (AMP)
“But [the time is coming when] the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of The LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Habakkuk 2:14 (AMP)
“But The LORD is in His holy temple; let all the earth hush and keep silence before Him.” Habakkuk 2:20 (AMP)
“O Lord, I have heard the report of You and was afraid. O Lord, revive Your work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make [Yourself] known! In wrath [earnestly] remember love, pity, and mercy. God [approaching from Sinai] came from Teman [which represents Edom] and the Holy One from Mount Paran [in the Sinai region]. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! His glory covered the heavens and the earth was full of His praise. And His brightness was like the sunlight; rays streamed from His hand, and there [in the sunlike splendor] was the hiding place of His power. (emphasized)” Habakkuk 3:2-4 (AMP)
2016: Intercession Assignment
In 2016, an Angel of The LORD came to me in early summer and told me that I was assigned to intercede for Trump.
I thought, “What? This can’t be real!”
Very quickly I could feel the sternness of the Angel, and his rebuke in my spirit.
I took my place in all seriousness, and began to wait upon The LORD, calling forth His intended purposes for this man.
He showed me that Trump was indeed chosen and appointed as a “Cyrus” to the nation, and affirmed His Word as He took me through a journey in the Old Testament.
The evil retaliation in the spirit realm against my call to intercede began to quickly evidence.
Coming down from the high places into my sanctuary of prayer, was a heavy spiritual defilement permeating the first and second heavens.
It’s been an intense and trying battle, that could only be won through His cultivated presence: consecration of my heart and soul, praise, and worship intercession and the power of the Word given by the Spirit.
2016 — affirmed in 2017. At the end of the summer, The LORD caught me up in a Vision Encounter inside of a Dream.
He took me over the United States of America. There I saw standing on the North-West corner of the state of Texas was the huge Justice Angel over America.
He held the scales of Justice raised up high on the sword of his left hand. The sword in his left hand reached towards the West touching the tip of Oregon, and the finger of his right hand reached out and touched the East Coast of the USA at the point between the Carolinas.
As he spread out his arms, a thick rugged white line formed in across the USA, from West to East separating the country into North and South with a light crystal blue on the North and a light gold on the South.
In the following year, 2017, when I heard an in-depth teaching by Mark Biltz and realized that this was the “line of totality” that The LORD had shown me in the dream.
2016
The night before the US 2016 Presidential Election, in The Spirit, The LORD showed me Trump’s win, as well as a golden cone of heavenly protection over Trump and his entire family.
I also saw that somehow there was a very important connection that Trump had with true Israel.
In 2018 on the last day of February, an Angel spoke to me as I awoke and said, “The Justice Angels have been released!”
[…….] ”
Also for further current reference in prophetic accuracy, please see the Word that The Father gave to me in a poetic cadence for Daystar and other self-serving kingdoms of man that would be exposed and come down.

I totally agree with you Shelly…concerning these so called prophetic words that have recently been put out…Love and peace are missing in those words…thank you for your teaching on this matter for to many prophecys are put out there without discerning them because no one has taught them how these days….thank you for doing so
Quote:
“Representing God Well and Speaking in Love
“To accuse Me of slandering My children is mean spirited. That is not My way—ever! I am the God who looks deeply and carefully at My children to find all that is good in them. Remember, I follow My own words. I focus on what is good and pure and lovely (Philippians 4:8) in each and every one, and I say follow Me and My ways. I magnify what is good and come alongside by the power of My Holy Spirit and assist those who are weak to overcome their shortcomings.
“I use My prophets to help My children see the good in others, to encourage them to pray for those who are chosen to lead and given much responsibility—not to throw stones at them.
“When I speak, My love always manifests, because I am love. This is a wonderful way to discern if I am speaking or if another voice is being heard; love will cloak those words. Remember, the enemy cannot counterfeit love. When I correct My children, love will be felt. When I admonish them, they will feel My love. My guidance, council, and comfort are always cloaked in My love. Draw close to My love, and you won’t be deceived.”
The Lord reminded me that Moses misrepresented God when he hit the rock instead of just speaking to the rock and made it appear that God was angry with His people. Moses couldn’t go into the Promised Land as a result of his disobedience in how he struck the rock instead of speaking to it. God doesn’t want His prophets to misrepresent Him—ever!”
