Let’s Learn About and Know the Real Jesus for Ourselves
“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.” Psalm 46:1-3.
“Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” John 14:17.
Good morning.
To begin, I will share the article I wrote yesterday, because many questions are coming in from the article: “False Prophets are an Open Sepulcher of Dead Men’s Bones“
So now here I will attempt to clarify and give you my personal position here. We all have to be very careful that we keep a balance in these matters.
No one is infallible but God. I admire and respect many that speak a “thus saith The LORD” Word ,if it is true.
Still, I am not just chasing a Word all over the place, but trying to humble my heart daily and hear The LORD myself.
Jesus Christ is the mediator for us to pray to The Father through. He loves you as much as He loves me or anyone else. He definitely will speak to you personally, and clearly! I am no one special, but just a 69 year old lady from S.C.
When you and I get still in His Presence and seek Him with our whole heart then we will find Him. To me personally, I hear Him speak mostly in that ‘still small voice. ‘ It is not audible but very clear in my spirit man.
“Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.” Psalm 46:10.
(Other scriptures at the bottom.)
I will throw this in here, part of what has made me personally so hungry for God. The first pastor I ever sat under as a small child, till a young mother with a child myself, influenced me greatly.
I saw Jesus in him and loved him with all my heart. I took notes as he preached.
One statement really stood out to me, he spoke:
“Jesus Christ speaks loud enough to be heard and clear enough to be understood.”
You know why this grabbed hold in my own life? Preacher Joe got up every morning and got in a prayer closet at 4:am to pray. He was different and the glory even showed on his face. I got hungry for more of God.
We must get hungry for The LORD and truly seek Him! There is no time to fear, but to come alive and dwell in The Holy Place.
If you would like to read ‘Part 1’ of my early years testimony here it is: “Testimony and The Wait on The LORD is Weighty (Parts 1 & 2)“
Getting back on track here: we can’t go too far one way, and say no one is true who gives a Prophetic Word!
Some even throw it all out the door, and falsely say all that was done away with in the New Testament. I beg to differ.
There is still a ‘Five Fold Ministry’ operating in the true Church. Still I believe it is being corrected so we can all flow together well in these end times. We are to love one another and work in Unity in The Body of Christ.
“And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; for the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.” Ephesians 4:11-12.
Now, on the other hand, unless we are truly led, we do not need to go too far in the other direction to expose false prophets!!
Some may do that, (it may be ‘their’ assignment) but it is not my purpose here on this site! I don’t then want you following me, but The LORD, Who will give you the answers!
Only follow me, as I follow Christ.
“Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.” 1 Corinthians 11:1.
We are definitely in the last days. Look up to the one true God who can keep us and give us hope! He is an ever present help in the time of trouble. I love you all. God bless you.
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith The LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:11-13.
“And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of The LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for The LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away.
And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before The LORD. And, behold, The LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before The LORD; but The LORD was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but The LORD was not in the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but The LORD was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice.” 1 Kings 19: 9-12.
“And he answering said, Thou shalt love The LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.” Luke 10:27.

My name is Joyce D. McGuire, called to work in and for the Kingdom of God! To lead we must try to follow Jesus Christ closely. That is my heart. I am a Chaplain to the prisons; prophetic intercessor by His grace; author; and a Mother in the Kingdom of God. To many I am simply Mama Joyce. Some favorite verses of mine are Matthew 11:28-30.
Barbara, thank you for responding. Here is a scripture as there is no confusion my dear sister:
“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26.
Remaining FOCUSED on the Divine Will, Purpose and Plan of God is Now TOP PRIORITY. Gotta continue in fervent prayer, not being moved by the surroundings, but instead, looking for the Blessed Hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ…Titus 2:13.
FOCUS, And That Ain’t No Hocus POCUS!
Amen and Thank you so much Mitchell. As I was just attempting to reshare this note, I saw your reply for the first time. God bless you.
You’re very right Mama Joyce. We are all striving by His Grace. None of us has arrived yet. Anybody can miss it & by so doing, some of us try to add up with human ideas citing “God says”. God frowns at that kind of deceptions of his words. Once again, I thank God for the spirit of boldness to speak the truth in love & cautiously apply divine wisdom to discern satanic tricks meant to cause division to the body of Christ. I pray God will give each an everyone of us a humble heart to earnestly seek His face in all we do & say. Thanks for your time & words of wisdom.
Thank you Adams! God bless you
I heard two prophetic people say they saw mushroom clouds over our country. One said “prepare for the destruction”. The other said “we must pray against this”. Why the different responses to the same spirit inspired vision? The Lord gives visions to the prophets but each prophet interprets according to his own heart. Like Jonah one welcomes destruction on those he dislikes. Like Jesus the other asks for mercy on those he loves.
And did they not all hear Jonah’s Word from the Lord, and were not all saved?
Please do share, oh wise one, what you would say if you were given such a vision, to achieve Jonah’s result?
Jonah chapter 3 says the king of Nineveh told his people to repent saying “Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?”. Why did the pagan king seek God’s mercy but the prophet not speak of it? Then Jonah went and moped in the desert because the Lord did not destroy Nineveh when he should have been rejoicing at the sinners who were saved. Should no Jonah have told the people of Nineveh ” repent and you will be spared great destruction”?
What I do know is that all men (and woman) everywhere should pray without ceasing.
I do cry out when things happen for individuals and properties, etc for example to be spared.
In God’s mercy, prayer truly changes a lot of things!
We must remember we live in a fallen world, with satan the prince and the very power of the air.
Still a lot of times God is bringing judgement.
When we don’t know exactly how to pray in a situation pray in our heavenly prayer language! The Spirit most definitely knows how to intercede. Hope this helps.
Very Good response Mama. I believe if we genuinely pray, repent of our sins & seek God’s face He will hear & heal our land. Let’s all pray without ceasing. Thanks & God bless you Mama Joyce.
Mama, I read your touching response as clarification to some of our questions. You did speak well that its not your assignment or intention to name any fake preacher. Kindly permit me to add to your statement that its the sole duty of any Holy spirit led Church to discern a false prophet & take disciplinary actions accordingly. Therefore, to all brethren here, neither Mama Joyce nor I or anyone can name any false prophet as we don’t have evidences to back it up since its a spiritual matter. BUT, by the Grace of God, we all have access to the Holy spirit who is always ready to help & guide us whenever the need arises. Let’s all take up this sensitive & serious issue to the Lord in prayer. I urge us all to be bold but cautious & remember to always test all spirits as we work for God as the days are dark & evil. God Bless Pastor Joe for your life & all his efforts for the body of Christ. More Grace & Divine health Mama Joyce. My humble opinions please. Thank you all.
Adams thank you for all your input here.
Some things will get us sidetracked also, if we start naming names. Also, it is not my intention to bring division, even though I warned out of a heart of love, and what I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak to me.
It is for us all to dig deep in the Lord and not buy everything we hear in the Name of the Lord! I am never afraid to tell anyone to try the spirits with me. Because I most definitely want everyone to.
Any one is capable of missing it, and not to believe that, is like a hero worship! Some make gods out of people giving a prophetic word instead of sitting at Jesus feet themselves. All I want is to be faithful and true, and have a pure heart and clean hands.
Many of the time, I set on a Word and cry and weep trying to make sure, every word was straight from the Spirit of God, just as many of us do.
Mixture is pollution if it has flesh or deception in the word. Not one of us has arrived yet. We must all just be very careful and ask for a stronger discernment in spiritual matters in these end times. Again thank you Adams and God bless you
This is a time of real confusion for Christian Followers as well as our Holy Spirits, The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.
