The position of a prophet comes with a level of authority and power that sometimes leaves us in awe. For example, the prophet Elijah confronted Jezebel and slaughtered the Baal prophets. Moses parted the Red Sea, and Jonah survived three days and nights inside the belly of a whale. These incredible stories were empowering and made us realize what incredible feats we could achieve when utilizing the power of God. However, the role of a prophet isn’t as glamorous as it might seem. Being a prophet comes with much responsibility and accountability.
As an ambassador of God, a prophet has to dedicate his or her life to living righteous and Holy. They must develop a deep relationship with God in order to understand the will He has for His people. The gift of prophecy comes with a great level of humility and sacrifice.
There are no days off. A prophet can’t just wake up one day and decide they want to take a break and have a day of rest. There is always a need that must be fulfilled. The prophet’s role never ends.
A prophet is often abused and mistreated. These complex and misunderstood individuals are sometimes taken for granted and unappreciated. This is mainly because a prophet is seen from a negative perspective.
The prophets in the Bible were responsible for warning the people of God’s impending judgment. They often spoke bluntly and confronted the sin that people were committing. Their jobs were to help the people renounce their sins and turn their hearts to God in order to avoid judgment and consequences. Many people wanted to continue in their sins. They didn’t want to be rebuked or told the sins they were committing were wrong and displeasing to God.
These people wanted to stay in their bondage. They were comfortable with sinning in secret and pretending as if their lives were in alignment with God’s will. Others didn’t acknowledge God at all and didn’t want to part from their sin to serve a God they didn’t believe existed.
As a result, the prophets faced a lot of persecution, rejection, slander, and abuse. Some of them were even killed.
Could you imagine wanting to harm or kill someone who is trying to warn you and save you from destruction?
It’s absurd but this is the mindset that people have when they’re entangled in deep rooted sins. They are accustomed to living lives saturated with sin and rebellion. Especially when that sin has been established over several generations. There becomes a stronghold placed over the minds and lives of the people. They don’t see anything wrong with what they’re doing, so it becomes a lot harder for them to depart from their sinful lifestyles.
This is often why we’ll see certain sins e.g. racism perpetuated over many centuries and decades without change.
Change is something that starts within the heart. In order for a person’s heart to change, they must hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of how Jesus Christ loved the world so much, that He laid down His life on the cross, is one that will transform man and convict them for their wicked ways.
When we understand the true meaning of love and sacrifice, we’ll realize how important it is to walk in love instead of hatred. We’ll also understand why it’s important to avoid the bondage of sin.
A prophet’s job is to encourage the people to relinquish their sin and convert their hearts and minds to Christ. A prophet also engages in spiritual warfare to break the chains of bondage off of those who are entrapped in sin that’s been securely rooted for generations.
Prophets make many sacrifices. Often times they suffer for the elect to be saved. God has called many people out of bondage to live a life that is devoted to Him. However, he knows the hearts of man. Few will accept this call.
Judgment isn’t something that people like to hear about. However, it is something that’s inevitable. A prophet’s duty is to warn the people of judgment that will eventually come. The prophet’s job is to prepare the people, so that they’ll be ready to stand before God on that day of judgment.
Think of a prophet like you would a meteorologist or a local weather forecaster. They are responsible to warn the people of a hurricane that’s approaching. Some people will be attentive and heed the warnings of the forecast. They’ll start preparing for the hurricane by stocking up on non-perishable food items; taking necessary precautions to weather-proof their home; or some might even relocate to safer destinations where they’re less likely to be impacted by the hurricane.
Others will be stubborn or they might take the forecast for granted. They’ll refuse to prepare for the hurricane because they either didn’t take it seriously or just didn’t feel they needed to. They felt they already had things in order and would be safe in the event the hurricane came.
The latter are usually the ones that find themselves in deep trouble and searching for someone to rescue them when the hurricane finally comes. By this time, it’s usually too late.
Don’t be like those who ignored the weather forecast and faced destruction from the hurricane.
Heed the voice of God’s anointed prophets and start preparing for the judgment that will soon come before it’s too late.
I started noticing this many years ago when I acquired a job at an insurance corporation. This insurance company was highly-renown and had tons of commercials on television. The company received awards for being one of the most “highly admired” companies or one of the “best places” for employees to work. Of course I believed the hype, and didn’t realize that companies could pay people to feature them in these types of articles. I’m not saying this is what the company did; however, my eyes have opened to the things these supposedly “elite” corporations do to give themselves an edge over other businesses.
This company also had a reputation for being very “selective” about the people they chose to work for their company. Majority of people had to apply multiple times before even getting a response from the company’s recruiter. This was a tactic to make the company seem prestigious; thus, making it highly sought after by prospective employees. When something is easily accessible and everyone can attain it, then the appeal for that thing diminishes. It’s basic marketing. If you simply raise your prices a lot higher than others, then only a certain demographic is able to obtain access to your products or services. You could be offering equivalent quality and the same level of service; however, if what you’re offering seems elusive, it will attract more people.
The recruiting process was extremely difficult. First, you are sent an email expressing how you’ve been selected to move forward in the hiring process. This email is meant to generate feelings of excitement. You’ve accomplished the small feat of garnering the company’s attention. You’ve finally gotten them to acknowledge your resume and respond to your application.
You are then prompted to take an assessment. This assessment has to be completed within an allotted time which is usually about a couple days. The assessment is a mixture of questions ranging from customer service, logic, math, and behavioral analysis. The assessment isn’t easy, but if you have a moderate level of education and intelligence, passing is feasible.
After passing the assessment, you are sent another feel good email congratulating you on making it to the next phase of the hiring process. You are then prompted to schedule a time for a phone interview. The phone interview is like your basic initial interview. The recruiter asks questions to get to know you and tells you about the company. You’re then given an opportunity to talk about your experience and why you want to work for the company. The recruiter asks a few basic questions before setting expectations for the next step. You’re told you’ll be contacted within a few days, and you will be told whether or not you’ve made it to the final phase of the hiring process, which is the in-person interview.
I’ve worked for this company twice. The first time was before Co-Vid, and the second time was during Co-Vid. Things were a bit different the first time. The interview was in person at one of the company’s campuses. The interview team was a panel of three people sitting at a table, surrounding me and taking turns firing off complex questions which I was expected to answer right on the spot. The first experience was pretty daunting, but it gave those who survived it a feeling of victory. The entire hiring process, especially the final interview was meant to make the employee feel as if they’ve accomplished something equivalent to climbing Mount Everest or running a marathon.
Everyone would always tell us that we should be “proud” of ourselves for getting hired because of the difficult hiring process. They’d also say things like they turned down or “rejected” about 1,000 resumes and applications for each person sitting at their desk.
These things were said to make the employees feel worthy for getting hired as well as induce feelings of loyalty towards the company. They wanted the employees to stick around with the company and not quit and find a job with the company’s competitors. By telling us how “difficult” it was or how “special” and “proud” we should feel that they hired us, we felt some sense of allegiance towards the company. It also made us feel that we didn’t want to be anywhere else but there. It was some sort of brainwashing to make us feel as if it was the best place to be, and if we decided to leave, we’d be throwing away our once in a lifetime chance of working for this prestigious and elusive company where everyone was just vying for the opportunity and chance to work. I facetiously threw the last sentence in for emphasis, but I’m sure you get the point.
The insurance company required us to be have a Property and Casualty Insurance license. They paid for the fees for us to obtain our license. This included all of the fees associated with training and licensing such as text books, training certification, background checks, fingerprinting, testing, etc. The company often reiterated that they were paying for the cost of our license and that we were getting this license at no cost of our own. This was meant to further make the employee feel some sense of loyalty and devotion towards the company. When someone tells you they’ve given you something at no cost of your own, it usually means that you owe them. Yes, it’s generous that this company was willing to pay for the cost associated with training and licensing their employees. Some companies will make the employee pay out of their own pockets for the cost of these things.
However, the company expected something in return from their employees. They expected their employees to be dedicated to the company and work hard at fulfilling their job role and satisfying their customers. Sounds like a fair exchange, right?
There’s an old adage that says that everything that glitters isn’t gold. You might be more familiar with the similar phrase “too good to be true.”
Usually when something appears too good to be true, there’s a catch. Meaning there are some hidden terms or loop holes that aren’t usually discovered until later. It’s like entering in a contract where it seems as if everything is in your favor, but you soon discover when something goes wrong, the clause or “fine print” in the contract is actually working against you.
This prestigious and highly-renowned company was throwing out the red carpet for its employees. They provided a good entry-level salary with extensive benefits such as medical, dental, vision, 401 (k) with employer matching up to a certain percentage, company stock, tuition reimbursement, annual bonuses, and paid training and licensing. Not to mention the immense employee perks such as on-site fitness centers, restaurants, medical centers, etc. They even offered discounts on things such as purchasing a cell phone or buying a home. Being a young woman in her twenties, I thought I’d hit the jackpot. This was the most amazing company in the world to me. I’ll admit that it was a decent place to work, and the company treated the employees better than most companies that I’ve worked for; however, the company had its flaws just like every other company.
I wasn’t sure why this company stood out as one of the best insurance companies. They sold similar products as the other insurance companies; however, majority of the time, their products were much more expensive. Sometimes we’d inquire about why our insurance cost a lot more than other insurance companies offering the same products and services. We’d usually get the similar response that the customers were paying for the name and “brand” of the company. Branding is another brain washing mechanism. It makes you predisposed to something and allows you to be bias and overlook the negative things about something because its “brand” is highly sought after or overly saturated amongst consumers. Branding is almost like mind control. If a company is heavily promoted in the media or advertised widely, people will be prone to selecting that company’s product based off of their name and not the quality of the products or services they offer.
This creates a disadvantage for smaller businesses that don’t have as much longevity or funding for major advertisements and branding. Their products and services could be just as good; however, since the larger corporation has a reputation of being a great “brand” they obtain leverage. This is also unfair to consumers because now branding speaks for the company instead of their products and service. People are usually manipulated in spending their money on lackluster products or subpar service because of the brand’s name.
Our customers (what the company referred to as “insureds”) would often call in complaining about the cost of their insurance. Many of them were unhappy and wanted to cancel. Some of them would point out that another insurance company (that wasn’t as well-known at the time) was offering the same products for a much cheaper cost.
This and other things such as the company’s ability to significantly increase an insured’s premium for no apparent reason other than “the cost of insurance increased in their area” (otherwise known as a rate revision) started opening my eyes to tactics I deemed shady. It wasn’t long that I realized the customers were being manipulated just like the employees were.
They’d been lured into purchasing services with the insurance company based off of their appearance of being one of the best insurance companies. They emphasized how much they cared about their customers and how they were the best insurance company in their plethora of commercials. The customers were brainwashed into choosing this company for their insurance just how the employees were brainwashed into flocking to this company for employment.
The job wasn’t difficult but it presented a challenge. We were bombarded with phone calls. Some of the customers were nice but some of them could be rude and demeaning. There were times I felt overwhelmed and wanted to quit, but I was hesitant to forfeit my coveted position at such an elite company. I’d be crazy to leave this company.
Just like the customers who called in and weren’t happy with the cost of their insurance premium but decided to stay because of the company’s name, I too had been staying at a job that felt a bit overwhelming because of the company’s name.
I didn’t realize the effect the company’s brainwashing techniques had on me. After awhile, I started suffering from depression and anxiety. I ended up taking a short-term disability leave. Shortly after this, I was terminated from the company.
I filed for unemployment and lived off of this for a few months before obtaining another position; however, I held that position briefly before the symptoms of my condition returned.
For months I struggled on and off with feelings of anxiety and depression. I was taking medication and receiving therapy, but nothing seemed to work. I started going to church where I received prayer. My condition gradually improved. I started feeling like myself again.
I was ready to get a new job. I’d been out of work for about six months, but I had tons of experience and some college education. I felt confident that I’d be able to obtain another job. I decided to update my resume. As I was writing my resume, I realized I had a difficult time memorizing the functions of my job duties. I’d only been away from the company for a few months after working there for nearly two years. It didn’t make sense that I couldn’t memorize anything.
It wasn’t before long that I realized majority of the insurance knowledge that I’d obtained while working on the job was gone. I submitted my resume to many similar positions in insurance and customer service, but I didn’t receive a response. If I did get a response leading to an interview, I didn’t receive an offer. No one would hire me. Prior to working for that insurance company, I’d never struggled with obtaining a job. It was always fairly easy for me to obtain employment.
I was out of work for about two years before I was able to obtain a position elsewhere.
I finally obtained another position in insurance but it was dealing with health insurance e.g. Medicaid, Medicare, HMOs, and PPOs. My property and casualty insurance license had expired.
Throughout over ten years of being separated from the initial insurance company where I’d worked, I always felt myself comparing every job I had to that company. I longed to go back to that company. I wasn’t happy anywhere but there. I found myself applying to the company several times, but they’d always reject my application after the first or second phase.
I also couldn’t maintain stable employment at any of my jobs either. My employment history was sporadic. I’d always work for a few months at a company before the feelings of being “burdened” and “overwhelmed” returned.
Throughout this time, my knowledge was also starting to dissipate. I’d always been extremely smart and an effective communicator. My vocabulary was extensive, and I had a way with words.I’d begin noticing that these skills were diminishing significantly. I struggled with writing and finding the appropriate words to use while speaking.
I didn’t know what was happening.
It took a long time before the Holy Spirit started revealing what was happening.
Remember when I talked about how some things are “too good to be true?”
Well, that insurance company that rolled out the red carpet for me and paid for me to obtain my property and casualty license was too good to be true.
The price I had to pay for what they’d given me for free was my freedom. They’d felt I belonged to them. I was their property. Since they’d paid all of this money to hire me and equip me with the insurance tools and knowledge needed to fulfill my role at their company, they felt they had rights to my talents and intellectual property. They didn’t want me to utilize my skills and the insurance knowledge and experience I obtained at their expense, so they’d been extracting my knowledge from me and keeping me from obtaining stable employment elsewhere.
They were holding me in an invisible bondage. The Lord revealed to me that they not only wiped my mind of my knowledge, but they were using my knowledge, skills, and talents to disperse amongst the company for their other employees to use.
I know it might seem bizarre, but the world needs to wake up. Many large corporations and giant companies are utilizing sorcery, witchcraft, divination, brainwashing, and mind controlling techniques and tactics to lure, attract, and trap their employees and customers. Branding is another form of witchcraft. They have subliminal messages in their images, commercials, advertisements, etc. These are all meant to manipulate and control the targets they intend to entrap.
I was livid after my discovery. This company and others had no right to erase my knowledge and take all of the information and experience I’d obtained and hold me in a perpetual bondage. Yes, they were the ones who shilled out money to pay for me to receive my insurance license. They were also the ones who provided the knowledge. However, I was the one who spent hours, days, weeks, months, and years learning the information and performing the role of those duties to obtain the knowledge and experience. Also, some of that knowledge and experience I had before even acquiring a position with the company. To steal someone’s knowledge, experience, and hard work after they’ve parted ways with the company is like a college taking the knowledge a student has acquired during their four years after they’ve graduated.
This is a grave injustice and an illicit measure that many companies have resorted to in order to avoid losing their employees who they perceive as their property or slaves.
I started praying to God about the injustice. This company had held onto my knowledge and utilized it for years. They owed me now. God told me to apply for another position at this company. This time, they hired me. It was a spiritual battle because they didn’t really want me to work for them. It took over two months for them to complete my background check and place me in a training class.
This time the experience was a bit different. It was during the pandemic, so everything was virtual. I still had to take an assessment, but instead of a phone interview, I was set up with a virtual interview. This was conducted on a computer. I would record my answer after hearing the question. I was given the opportunity to retry each answer one time if I didn’t like it. After the virtual interview, a face to face interview was conducted, using Zoom, with the recruiter.
The process wasn’t as rigorous as it was the first time. It was actually fairly refreshing and simple. The company offered me a starting salary a lot higher than the one I’d received many years ago. My position was working from home. The company shipped a computer and other equipment needed for my role to my house. We were expected to receive a personal lines insurance license this time. The company paid for the training and licensing again.
I thought things would be different this time but they weren’t. I started receiving headaches. They’d often pair us into groups of two and sometimes three or four. They’d break us off into these separate rooms. This was all virtual. Although we couldn’t see each other, we could speak to each other with our microphones or type using the chat features.
The headaches continued, and I could feel them extracting the knowledge from my mind. I knew they were attempting to steal my knowledge and talents again. We were studying for our personal lines exam which was very intense. We only had less than two weeks to study. I often felt confused. Majority of my brain functioning had been taken. My brain was so destroyed that my comprehension was terrible. I constantly had to read things over and over just to understand the information. I made flash cards and wrote things down. I found myself having to study much longer than usual.
In high school, I could study the night before a big test and pass it with an A. In college, it was a similar experience. I didn’t study a night before the exam or midterm, but I didn’t have to study for hours either just to get a good score.
I couldn’t memorize anything. I prayed for God to help me. I spent all of my spare time studying and preparing for the exam. The test was multiple choice. I was one of the few that passed the exam on the first try.
My second time being employed with the company didn’t last very long. The job was fairly simple, and I performed well, so that wasn’t an issue. The problem was the sorcery being released at my mind and the constant attacks. For example, I often had technical problems. Sometimes my computer would randomly shut down, and I couldn’t log back on for hours. At times I felt confused or overwhelmed and burdened for no apparent reason.
The Lord already showed me that this is what happens when companies dabble in the occult and use witchcraft to obtain success and wealth by controlling the customers and employees.
The bewitchment and brainwashing couldn’t work on me. My eyes were open, and I saw through their veil, so they didn’t want me there. However, they wanted to keep my knowledge, talent, and abilities.
I decided to part ways with the company again. This time it was going to be for good.
Not long after I left, all of my knowledge disappeared. Just like last time. They wiped my mind of all the information, knowledge, and experience I’d obtained during my brief time there. Also, just like last time, I’ve been unable to find another permanent job, so I’ve had to work odd jobs here and there to obtain money to put food on the table, clothes on me and my son’s backs, and gas in the car.
This is something that’s purely wicked and evil, and it’s been going on for years. It’s prevalent in the country of America where these corporate owners and executives are so fueled with greed, that they will turn employees into slaves who they deem are their property. They refuse to allow these people to leave and want to keep them working permanently for them as their servants. They capitalize on the brains, minds, talents, and abilities of these employees. They hoard their knowledge, ideas, and skills in exchange for a consistent paycheck.
They feel they have rights to everything that belongs to these workers because they give them a paycheck, benefits, and a few perks.
I am writing this article to expose these corporations and let them know that God will judge them. Human beings belong solely to God. He created us and formed our minds. He endowed us with our talents, gifts, and ideas. He gave all man the ability to obtain wealth.
Just because a corporation has hired a person and paid for their education or training, it doesn’t give them the right to control these people and hold them in bondage. These people should be allowed to be released and freed to utilize their gifts, talents, abilities, and ideas as they see fit.
Who are you to keep them working in entry-level positions as servants for years? Who are you to wipe away their memory and extract their knowledge and information when they decide to part ways with the company? Who are you to keep them from either obtaining employment elsewhere or opening a business and thriving as an entrepreneur if they have the desire to do so?
There is so much bondage and slavery happening in this world. Especially within the country of America. Man has resorted to the most heinous, vile, and inhumane things for the chance to have wealth and tangible benefits. This is reprehensible.
God is going to judge the wicked and those who’ve placed wealth over the lives of people.
Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. (Matthew 10:15 King James Version)
Do you remember how simple things were when you were a kid? The slightest things cheered you up and brought you immense joy. You could’ve been having the worst day at school or could’ve gotten into a fight with your best friend; however, the moment your favorite cartoon appeared on television, or your mom made you your favorite meal of chicken noodle soup and hot chocolate with the miniature marshmallows, it made everything okay.
Suddenly, your friend being mad at you or getting into trouble with your teacher didn’t matter. As a child, you didn’t take things to heart. You didn’t allow the slightest offenses to deter you and ruin your day. As a child you were bestowed with a level of resilience that enabled you to bounce back from life’s difficulties and challenges. As a child, you embraced a sense of hope that despite the dismal outcomes that life tended to throw at you, everything would be fine. You expected things to work out no matter the situation.
You trusted that your parents were superheros, and that you somehow inherited their superhero characteristics. You embarked on terrifying journeys into dark, spooky basements equipped with nothing but your pajamas and favorite stuffed animal. You didn’t need a cape or superpowers like (insert your favorite superhero). You battled imaginary monsters hiding in the darkest crevices of your closet and beneath your bed.
As a child, you had a level of trust and reasoning that made you invincible. You were equipped with a level of determination that sustained you and helped you survive through periods of suffering.
Life isn’t easier when we’re children. In fact, it can be just as difficult. Children face the stresses and burdens of school and managing difficult relationships. They watch their parents suffer through difficult situations that inevitably trickle into their own lives; however, as children, you see life through a different perspective.
A child’s judgment hasn’t been sullied by years of disappointments, setbacks, hurts, pains, and unjust treatment. Children haven’t harbored enough unforgiveness to become bitter. Furthermore, they appreciate the simple things that life has to offer. As a child, you don’t expect much. Finding a shiny bright penny on the sidewalk, while walking down the street, is just as rewarding as going for a trip to your favorite amusement park or finding a cheap plastic toy at the bottom of the cereal box.
As a child you are filled with a sense of gratitude. You’re not entitled and therefore can be appreciative of the things you have.
This is how Jesus Christ expects us to enter His Kingdom. We are to be as little children who are grateful for the sacrifice our Heavenly Father has made by dying on the cross. We shouldn’t take His Salvation for granted.
Just as you wouldn’t toss a newly opened present you received as a kid on Christmas Day into the trash, and ask for something better, you shouldn’t throw away the best gift that God has given to you.
When you learn to let go of the past disappointments, hurts, shame, pain and pride, you’ll be able to embrace your Heavenly Father and all that He has to offer you.
The Antichrist will soon come and demand that everyone take the Mark of the Beast and worship the Beast. Those refusing to take the Mark shall not buy or sell. All of those taking the Mark will be cast into a lake of fire prepared for Satan and his angels. It is time to get right with Christ. Jesus is coming back soon for His church.
“And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”
Revelation 13:16-17 KJV
“And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years. And the devil that deceived them was cast into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are, and shall be tormented day and night for ever and ever.”
