WORSHIP the Book or Holy Spirit?

“WORSHIP the BOOK or HOLY SPIRIT?”
Recorded: April 28, 2024

 

Throughout the course of my life, I have heard the Bible referred to as the Word of God countless times.  My father was a pastor and he along with all his pastor friends and associates started every sermon with the reading of the Word of God from the Bible. This was understood and accepted by virtually every congregation I have been a part of. 

Recently I searched the New Testament to gain an understanding of how Jesus might speak of the Bible if it had been available to him. The Bible did not exist when he walked the earth of course but what I was looking for was references He made to scripture. 

Jesus said, “You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life” (John 5:39-40 NKJV).

In Matthew 4:4 Jesus responded to Satan’s temptation to turn stones to bread by quoting the words of Deuteronomy “It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God.”  In verse 7 His riposte to Satan was from Deuteronomy 16:6 ” It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.”  Then to end the conversation and frustrate Satan enough to make him leave he says in verse 10 “Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.” This was taken from Exodus 34:14.

We can see from this that Jesus did accept that scriptures were authoritative enough to live by their teaching and abide by their commands. However, Jesus was more focused on the spirit of the law as opposed to the letter of the law. Jesus felt like there was some room for common sense regarding the scriptures. This suggests the criticism from the Pharisees in Matthew 12 when Jesus led the disciples through a field of corn. The disciples took the opportunity to pull some of the ears of corn to eat and this may even have been Jesus’ intention for veering through the field.  The reaction of the Pharisees was “Behold, thy disciples do that which is not lawful to do upon the Sabbath day.” 

His response in verses 3-5 was “Have ye not read what David did, when he was an hungered, and they that were with him; How he entered into the house of God, and did eat the shew-bread, which was not lawful for him to eat, neither for them which were with him, but only for the priests? Or have ye not read in the law, how that on the Sabbath days the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are blameless?”

 Jesus then declares in verse 8 “For the Son of man is Lord even of the Sabbath day.” basically saying “I’m the Son of God, don’t tell me how to keep the Sabbath. If I say we pick corn to eat on the Sabbath or heal the sick (like he does a few verses later) so, be it”. Jesus mostly referred to the writings of the Old Testament as the scriptures while not in fact calling them the Word of God. Christ did believe one of the important themes of scripture was that they testified of Him, and we see this demonstrated in Jon: 5:39 “And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.”

When Jesus said “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God he was not talking about something written long ago. He was indicating that God speaks, and we should follow. This is how He lived and ministered as shown in John 5:19 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things so ever he does, these also does the Son likewise.”

Apostle Kent Simpson is fond of saying “My Jesus is not wood pulp and ink bound in genuine leather”. Few people on the planet are more aware that God is speaking today. No man I have ever known has embraced the truth of John 5:19 more than Apostle Kent. That is why his motto for PMT is Pray, Hear and Obey, That’s The Christian Way.   When we are born again, we start a spiritual journey with the Lord by reading and studying the scripture. We have the example from Christ himself that this is profitable to the salvation of our souls and the renewing of our minds. But all who would be led by the Holy Spirit must move from being people of the Book to people of the Word.

What is the Word exactly? The writer of John 1:1 tells us that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” He identifies the Word in verse 14 when he writes “And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” Word in this verse has been translated from the Greek word logos which means to speak intelligently. Jesus is the eternal expression of the divine intelligence. He is God revealing himself to mankind by way of the incarnation. We have access to the now and forever speaking Second Person of the Trinity through the comforter he left us. This is The Holy Spirit in constant contact with the born-again spirits of the Kingdom of God. 

As we pray, we hear. As we hear we obey. As we obey, we are blessed.

TO HOPE or WISH BY FAITH

“TO WISH or HOPE by FAITH”
Recorded: April 21, 2024

 

I had always wondered why I did not receive everything I wanted in my heart when I prayed to God. I wanted a better life, body, car, and the list goes on, but none of those things were happening to me. Why was I not receiving the desires of my heart?

Late one evening in August of 2011, I had an experience while in the hospital that helped me finally understand the truth behind this verse: “Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart” (Psalm 37:4)

That evening, I began experiencing the most intense pain I had ever endured. I kept thinking it would go away any minute, but instead it did the opposite: the more I prayed the harder the pain hit. I did not want to wake up my wife Debbie, so I thought I’d just drive myself to the emergency room, get a pill or maybe a shot and come home. Well, that did not happen; in fact, before I knew I was scheduled for surgery. As soon as I could, I called Debbie and told her where I was. Within a few minutes, Debbie and my daughter Savannah were at my bedside. I had already started feeling much better, but the doctors insisted that I needed surgery right away. However, they could not do the procedure and needed to transport me to another hospital. After three days of waiting to be transferred, my body still had no pain, and my patience was running thin. I was pacing on the floor, wanting to go home, but the doctors would not release me. Even if I signed papers clearing them of any wrongdoing; they said I could not leave.

The doctor came in and told me that they had found a hospital that would do the surgery sixty miles away. They loaded me up into an ambulance to transport me as Debbie and Savannah followed us in the car. That summer we had experienced 70 straight days of temperatures over 100 degrees and, unfortunately, the air conditioner did not work in the ambulance; needless to say, it was not a fun ride.

Frustrated and hot, I arrived at the second hospital. They rolled me up to my room and we started the waiting process all over again. As I stood looking out the window, I was drawn toward this older church building in the middle of downtown Fort Worth, Texas.

Over and over, I keep walking back to the window looking down at the old church building; about five or six times the Lord brought to my remembrance that years ago, I had ministered in this old church building. As my mind began to recall all the prophetic words and miracles that took place in that wonderful old house of God, I suddenly began to hunger for those days to return. This feeling was much stronger than just wanting it. This desire came down from the throne of God and into my heart. Which was much, much more than any ‘want’ could ever be. This desire was being backed up by a God-given plan; it had taken the top spot on my list of priorities.

I knew to activate my God-given desire I had to get out of this hospital. I called the nurse and told her I was leaving. She said I could not leave, but I was adamant, and I told her they could not hold me any longer. The head nurse came in and after hearing me out, she said she would rush up the schedule for me to have all my testing done so I could be ready for surgery the next day. I told her that I had prayed about it and that I laid out my fleece for a sign. If I were not in the sonogram room by 2:30 I would leave, and she agreed. Shortly, the orderly came in and wheeled me down to the floor to have a sonogram test taken. I looked at my clock on my cell phone and at 2:30 I told the orderly to take me back to my room, I was leaving. He said I could not without the head nurse’s approval, so I told him to call her. She told the orderly to bring me back up to my room and they checked me out. Debbie and I walked out to the car and left the hospital. That was years ago, and I have not had any more problems since.

Since then, we have added numerous prophetic ministers who are now sending out prophesies to those who are in need. We have also witnessed the hand of God opening many doors, leading us to the “Vision of the Tabernacle.” This vision from God was given to me in 1991. In the vision, I saw a round building that had an interior circular hallway. As I walked around the hall, I noticed a set of double doors every so often, with a small window on each door. There were pairs of shoes lined along the wall. Looking through one of the windows, I witnessed many people with their hands in the air worshiping our God all around this round stage. The carpet was exceptionally long and looked like angel’s hair. Over the stage was an arrangement of screens with pictures flashing like a slide show. One of the pictures was of a young girl who was missing, another was of a man’s business. People were walking away from the altar, going to small, partitioned areas that were all around the inside wall of the sanctuary. In these cubicles, I saw a phone, screen, and keyboard. The anointing was so strong people seemed to just float from one place to the other. I knew within myself these people were finding God and His Word for these people calling and writing into Prophetic Ministries Tabernacle.

 

After all these years the vision is just as fresh in my mind as it was the day I received it from the Holy Spirit. The time is coming very soon when this vision will be a reality.

The desires of my heart are to see you set free and delivered from all that stops you from serving God. His desires are for you to experience the most powerful move of the Holy Spirit this generation has ever known. My prayer is that you desire in your heart to join me in this next great move of the Holy Spirit.

Once Saved, Always Saved

“Once Saved, Always Saved”
Recorded: April 14, 2024

 

Born Again – Verses Salvation

     Few issues contribute to more disunity in the body of Christ than an ages old debate over eternal security. Some say “once saved, always saved,” while others make the case for Christians being able to lose their salvation. The former crowd points to verses like John 10:27-28  “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” The same would be said for the verses Hebrews 10:14 For by one offering he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified, John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, and Romans 6:23 “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.”

 

Can We Fall From Grace?

     Those that believe in what John Wesley called “backsliding” to the point of returning to a lost condition refer to verses like Hebrews 6:4-6 ” For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.”  2 Peter 1:10 seems to indicate the possibility of a fall with the words “Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall:” This sounds like the writer is saying it takes diligence on the part of Christians to avoid a fall from grace much like is referred to in Gal 5:4 “Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.”

 

Which Side Is Right?

     Each side of the argument has ample scriptural evidence to support their view point and this begs the question about which group is right. I believe that both sides are correct about what they espouse and both sides are wrong for not accepting the belief of the other camp. It is time for the church to come to agreement and settle this dispute.

 

Is This A Strange Paradox?

     The issue concerns confusion over what it means to be born again as differentiated from being saved. Many if not most Christians do not know the difference if they are aware of one at all. In fact the dissimilitude is substantial.

Is This A Strange Paradox?

     The issue concerns confusion over what it means to be born again as differentiated from being saved. Many if not most Christians do not know the difference if they are aware of one at all. In fact the dissimilitude is substantial. 

 

    The reason for the confusion is lack of understanding as to where the experience of being born again or saved take place. The Bible teaches that in much the same way God is three in one we are also tripartite. In a similar way to God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit we are spirit, soul and body. This is illustrated in  Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. We can see in this verse that we are spirit, soul and body. This is reinforced in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 ” And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”

 

     The born again experience takes place in the human spirit. Jesus explained this to Nicodemus in John 3:5 when he said ” Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”. Jesus tells Nicodemus that being born again is a spiritual event in verses 6-8 ” That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.”

 

     John 1:12-13 informs us that the second birth gives us the power to become a son of God. ” But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God.” which is bolstered in Romans 8:14 with “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God”. Rebirth takes place in the human spirit which allows us to communicate with the Holy Spirit as well as the angelic host. Our quickened human spirit gives us a direct line to heaven and enjoys perfect communication with the Holy Spirit as opposed to our soul which is comprised of the mind, will and emotions. Paul makes the distinction in 1 Corinthians 14:14 ” For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.”  We see from this that the human spirit and soul can operate independently as Paul says in verse 15 “What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also.”  

  

     The area of man that mimics God in his sovereignty is the soul. This is the seat of the intellect, volition and all feelings. Christians are free in the soul to agree with or reject what is coming from heaven via their human spirit. Salvation takes place  in the soul and effects the mental and physical condition.  New birth is in the human spirit and cannot be affected by the soul or body nor any outside influence. This is evidenced in 1 Peter 1:23 “Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.” The salvation of the soul however requires some effort on our part according to Philippians 2:12 ” Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.”  Paul is in harmony with this train of thought when he says in Romans 12:2 ” And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” 

 

     The New Testament speaks of believing with the heart a great deal. The word heart means the seat of the desires, feelings, affections, passion, impulses, i. e., the heart or mind. The heart operates in the area of the soul which governs the mind will and emotions.  Romans 10:10 says ” For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Hebrews 4:12 tells us that thinking and exorcising the will takes place in the heart when he says that God “is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” 

  

     It is to be understood therefore that  We are born again in our human spirits and saved in our soul. Our spirits have been made alive and are incorruptible while our souls have the option to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit which is in communication with our human spirit. We work out our salvation with fear and trembling in the area of our soul.

 

     Hebrews 2:3 implies that we can choose to neglect our salvation albeit to our detriment.  Galatians 5:4 speaks to the problem of falling from grace and verse 1 of the same chapter admonishes believers to “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.” In the area of our mind will and emotions we see many people that are entangled with the yoke of bondage in various forms in spite of the fact that they have had true conversion experiences.

 

     Christians are always and forever in right standing before God in the area of their human spirit according to Hebrews 12:23 “To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,”. This allows us to fulfill the command of the Lord in Deuteronomy 18:13 “Thou shalt be perfect with the LORD thy God.”  Likewise this helps us understand what the writer of Ephesians 1″4  means with the words “According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:” Our regenerated human spirit is holy and without blame while in the soul there is an ongoing struggle to align our mind, will and emotions with it. This involves a learning process and discipline on the part of the Christian to achieve the status of a heart united with the spirit. This is what is meant by renewing the mind.  Instead of once saved always saved we should rather understand that once we are born again we are always born again. Indeed we can neglect our salvation and fall from grace to the effect that even a born again person can experience a hellish existence as a result of sin. The reward for following the direction of our human spirit and obeying God as well as the consequence of rejecting the same will be born out in our bodies. Can we sin and still go to heaven? Yes but it may speed up the process.

When I Get to Heaven

*G3D is symbolism for, God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit

 

“When I Get to Heaven”
Recorded: April 07, 2024

 

People say that when we get to Heaven, we can ask Jesus for the answers to spiritual questions that we may have. But I ask, “Why would we need to wait until then? “Wouldn’t it be more helpful for us if we had the answers to these questions now? What good will it do for us to know when we are in Heaven? We need answers to questions now! 

I have found that we can pray and ask Jesus and receive His answers for today. Scripture says, “My sheep know My voice,” (John 10:27), so we ought to know the answers because Scriptures tell us, “You have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things” (1John 2:20).

“For there is nothing hidden which will not be revealed, nor has anything been kept secret but that it should come to light. If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear. Then He said to them, ‘Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given.'” (Mark 4:22-24 NKJV).

We can have the answers to spiritual questions, but many believers have difficulty with this belief. If your doctrine does not teach this truth then the obvious is your reward. 

It is not wise to limit God in the ways He speaks to us. The Holy Scriptures, tells us that the Holy Spirit will teach us and that we can hear His voice and know His ways. Once we learn to hear and trust His voice, NO ONE will ever talk us out of our experiences with Him. 

 

“These things we also speak, not in words which man’s wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:13-14 NKJV).

 

Steadfast in Your Faith

Have you ever had someone try to convince you that what you experienced through G3D really didn’t happen? Maybe they tried to tell you it was just an emotional thing. Try as they may, critics simply cannot convince true Believers that what their experienced was false and they will not go to Heaven. 

This life is only a “blink of an eye” in comparison to eternity. We have a challenging time understanding the concept of eternity, where there is no beginning and no end. When you consider Heaven and eternity, all the problems of this life seem to fade away. They become far less important when looking at them from this perspective. We should not take this world so seriously, because this life is not really what we are living for. 

Many people need answers to their problems and concerns about their children and their future. They pray continually to G3D not realizing that it is time for them to let G3D manage their life’s problems. We should be a people who are unmoved by what happens in the world. Yet we find ourselves being sucked into all the worries and troubles of this life. When dreadful things happen, we search for reasons why. Perhaps we were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe we are just allowing all the things in this life to create tension and pressure within us. 

It is important to remember that whatever you are facing, it is not your problem if you will give it to G3D! What G3D will do in your life once you let go of it, will absolutely amaze you. He will begin to move certain people into your path and guide you into a place where you will reap a harvest without doing anything but to pray, hear, and obey! 

 

This peaceful release is what G3D really wants from us. The biggest problem with mankind is that we want to be in control. We want to control our lives, circumstances, other people and most of all, God. It is in our sinful nature that drives us to be this way. We must let go and let G3D. When we do, we find that all things work out just as G3D had planned in His Way. 

 

I Am A Witness

“We know that whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch him” 1 John 5:18 NKJV).

 

Dear Mr. Simpson,

 

I just wanted to thank you for your prophetic word and give you feedback. My name is Caroline C…, and you had a word for me about a year ago regarding the angel Raphael with a gift of healing and the Breaker Angel of faith. I did not necessarily doubt the words at the time, but they seemed strange and unexpected, so I just stored them on the shelf and figured God would reveal in His time. I forgot the details, but this week I found my handkerchief and today I thought I should look up my word from you again. 

Before I had a chance to do so, however, I was cooking dinner in the kitchen and an angel made himself visible to me. I had not experienced this before and was in shock and awe, but I had the grace to somehow gather myself enough to ask him his name and what he wanted. He said Raphael. I then sensed I needed to go pray for my mother. I went to her house (she lives across from me) and explained to her what happened, still almost unsure. My mother reminded me then that the word I had received from you last year spoke of Raphael the angel. I then prayed for her and sent angels that were under Raphael’s authority to deliver the healing needed. I went back home and listened, and YES, you spoke of Raphael, and you spoke that I would appoint angels under Raphael to bring healing…I am in awe of God’s goodness tonight, and I wanted to encourage you of your accuracy in hearing the Lord. 

Thank you for your service to the Lord. I am learning many things right now! My faith is growing immensely. 

 

Warmly,

Caroline C
