Hokey Words

by Pam Clark

There are a lot of people making a lot of money off of what I will call "hokey words." They are bogus, false.

I will lose some false friends over this, but there are people who are prophesying "words" of what the enemy is going to do or judgments that will come and then spend time and sell books and articles on coming against these "words" and declaring it a victory if it does not come to pass!

All of these "words" are based on things that usually cannot be confirmed, or they will take events of the past, and have "the word" of judgment that goes with them.

Much time, money and effort goes into this and it is in reality, often, time wasters. It is manipulation!

This is a hard article to write because I have many friends involved in this in the name of prophetic and it's not.

People have visions, or find something that would indicate past strongholds "with vast far-reaching consequences" and then the people are elevated when they "achieve" the breaking of this, and it's all based on "thoughts."

It is Biblical truth that the sins of the past can affect our todays. But spirits are eternal, it is just God who assigns their positions. So if an evil spirit was present in the past, if it was not bound, then it is still active today.

We do not have to get all involved and very detailed to determine what is right and wrong in God, if you know His will through the Word. I do believe that we must break strongholds of the enemy that are very present yet today. Satan is unleashing his powers and God is unleashing His for the end time battle of the ages. We just know that God wins!

We can see that His light expels the darkness! We can see that His power can overcome the enemy. Our struggle and challenge is learning how to harness it. The powers that be are greater than us, (whether we like that information or not!), and the prize is US!!!

It's not just God wanting "us" as if He could not just "take us;" the battle is for our souls--our wills--the evidences of our love for Him! God has given us free choice--the ability to choose--so, the question is which way shall we go? We have been given a span of life to decide.

God has set order in the Universe, but has left areas where the choices are ours. Many get deceived and debate the true sovereignty of God by saying that now "we are God" because we have some choice. We do have choice, but we are not, nor ever will be Sovereign. Do I need to say, "Wake up! and smell the coffee!"? God is still on the Throne and He never got off! And He never will! There is Authority in the Universe!

We can plant spiritually. People can plant good and people can "plant" evil. But we do not need to spend hours and dollars to exorcize the evil. No! We declare and act on the will of God for TODAY!!!

Sometimes there will be spiritual acts of anointing with oil and having community prayers to come together to break the stronghold of evil spirits where the evidence of their existence can be evidently acknowledged. Prayer walking and confessing is wonderful!

But when the declaration of the will of God is not enough, and the "acts" get detailed and bizarre, it may not be God...

(If you think about it, psychics and occultic spiritualists use these same tactics to seduce people out of their money and goods. I sure hate to hurt some of your feelings, but you need to know this for your good!)

I was at a prayer meeting not too long ago where we were praying against "this spirit" that had come against us. Everyone was to go around the room and say what they discerned. Well, the "funny" thing is, no one "saw" the same thing! Everyone had a completely different discernment and view of it!

It was then I realized this was not a true word for the group. Later as I spoke some truth, it was not received either and I had to leave the group. It was a hard and sad thing and prayer warring was declared against me as "an enemy."

These things happen and can make you very sad, but it is the truth which will set you free. I was told that I was a false prophet, a wolf in sheep's clothing, and that I had no friends and many problems. Well, I can't argue the problems part, but the other, God manifested otherwise by ministry to me of His work. I do not need to defend myself, but I did try to reason. It didn't work because the anger level was too high.

But all of this is part of growing in truth. We have an enemy. Sometimes all we can do is trust. The reason I share my personal life is to let you know it's not always easy.

Believe me when I tell you I am ok. I am! I was hurt, but God is healing the wound with His Truth. He has allowed supernatural manifestation to confirm to me His will. It's wonderful!!! "Truth stands the test of time; lies are soon exposed." (Proverbs 12:19 LB)

I don't want to hurt anyone, but at the same time, I don't want to see anyone hurt unnecessarily. I wish people Jesus. If you have Jesus, you will love your brother, even if they get it wrong.
