Diotrephes

Many individuals in a desire for preeminence changed their title but didn't realize they couldn't change the call or anointing on their life.

That is if they even were called at all.

We have a generation likened unto Diotrephes.

3 John 1:9  I wrote unto the church: but Diotrephes, who loves to have the preeminence among them, received us not.

Diotrephes means nourished by Jupiter. Jupiter was known as the god of the sky and thunder.

These individuals receive their aspiration for height from another source.

They desire to be heard loudly.

Where Jupiter is the god of thunder YHWH is God of the rain.

Those that self exalt themselves become guilty of fulfilling Jude when it says
Jude 1:12 These are spots(hidden reefs) in your love feasts, while they feast with you without fear, serving only themselves. They are clouds without water, carried about by the winds; late autumn trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots;

They learned all of the information and appearance about higher callings but do not have the ability to demonstrate it.

They will deny those who carry the call because of fear and insecurity. While they can produce a sound the authentic produce the rain.

Many of the followers  thought they were shifting only to find out that the Apostle or Prophet was really a Pastor or Teacher who changed their title.

This leads to spiritual frustration as many believers desire the fullness of God but find limited demonstration to the revelation being taught.
Without understanding many who exalted themselves above the initial call and anointing do not realize they now become a hindrance.
They hinder true offices and  hurt the followers by not being able to produce authentic revelation, activation, impartation or demonstration.

Without The Call and Unction of the Holy Spirit what was once revelation only becomes information.
Without the wind of the Holy Spirit and Authentic Anointing that information sits dormant without transformation.
Without transformation we have no place for operation.
Without a place prepared for operation we end up with desolation.

We need a massive move of repentance from leadership down and to pray for Divine alignments and Realigning.

If you have found yourself to be innocently deceived do not be hard on yourself.

A desire for the genuine is a wonderful thing.
Continue to seek and the Lord will place the true before you.

If we are of those who exalt themselves or desire preeminence we need to humble ourselves.
We should have the fear of the Lord that we would cause the little ones to stumble.

For the authentic persevere.

The hour of reckoning is upon us and the pretenders will be exposed and the eyes of people opened. The streams of false validation will be cut off and the authentic will step in as THE VOICE of the LORD.

STAND STRONG and BE DILIGENT!

In His Service,
