Prophetic Word: A Super-cell of Controversy

May 10th, 2012 admin
This appears to be your first visit to the SLM website -- Welcome! We hope you enjoy your visit!

But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid of the Spirit. (Jude 1:17-19 NASB)

This morning I saw storm clouds of a super-cell gathering of yet another storm of controversy over the Neo-Charismatic Church. This one will consist of apostates, following the lead of the world’s sodomites, attempting to spiritually “legalize” homosexuality and same-sex unions, marriages, relationships in the Neo-Charismatic Church! It’s coming! I’ve seen the storm clouds gathering! Read the rest of this entry »

About Personal Prophecy

May 1st, 2012 admin

Though the matter of personal prophecy is by far the element of the prophetic realm of greatest interest to the vast majority of Spirit-Baptized believers, it is not the most important. Nevertheless, personal prophecy is part and parcel of the present Prophetic Movement that has been nascent since the mid-1980s, and therefore requires some understanding and knowledge. In this article is presented a fairly simplistic overview of the matter of personal prophecy that is not intended to be an in-depth theological treatise on the subject. Herein, the term “personal prophecy” is simply a term used to refer to prophecy expressed to and pertaining to an individual person. Read the rest of this entry »

The Encouraging Wife

April 26th, 2012 admin

The following are some basic “DOs and DON’Ts” of how a wife can be ”encouraging” to her husband. The list is by no means exhaustive or comprehensive, nor is there much background, explanation, or anecdotal application offered here. That’s because this writing was not intended to be a treatise on the matter, but rather these are merely a few basic points that occurred to me while addressing the topic in casual correspondence. They are, nevertheless, sound, Scriptural, and effectual. It was only after I read over what I had written essentially extemporaneously that I felt impressed it might be good to pass along the result to others. Read the rest of this entry »

The Signs of an Emotionally Emasculated Man

March 3rd, 2012 admin

Editor’s Note: This article identifies a matter—emotional emasculation—that has been a very troubling matter in modern American culture for several decades now. But, what is even more troubling to us is its incursion into the church, particularly the Charismatic/Neo-Pentecostal church, and even more particularly the apostolic and prophetic stream of the church.

Yet, while we are deeply troubled by this matter, we are not at all surprised. Satan disguises himself as an angel of light, and there is no segment of the church where there exists more light of revelation and truth, as well as dynamics of the anointing, than in the apostolic/prophetic. Thus, it is this segment of the church that Satan most wants to surreptitiously intrude and usurp.

Despite how controversial such a statement will be to many, as a person who has been operating in the area of deliverance with a strong operation of the gift of the discerning of spirits for three and a half decades, I will state categorically that there are no small number, relatively speaking, of individuals identifying with the various streams of the apostolic/prophetic movements upon whom I discerned an effeminate spirit. Some of these I have met personally, simply because the Lord led me to attend their meetings in order to witness and affirm what I was discerning firsthand and in person. Some are living as what the modern culture would term a “metrosexual”—a male who is not outright “gay” in terms of sexual orientation and engaged in homosexual relationships, but nevertheless to varying degrees effeminate emotionally and behaviorally, as opposed to genuinely masculine. There’s quite a number of those in the apostolic/prophetic segment, including a number who have thus far attained some measure of success in leading prophetic networks or becoming the darling-d’jour of prophetic networks.

The Role of Fivefold Ministry (Part 2)

February 8th, 2012 admin

Fivefold Ministry is a matter frequently alluded to from the pulpit within many Charismatic and other Neo-Pentecostal churches and circles. Notwithstanding, such allusions appear to be little more than oratorical rhetoric, for the most part, because few churches make an earnest attempt to incorporate Fivefold Ministry within their ministry and structure. Certainly, I have never yet seen it in full and proper operation anywhere. Rather, for the most part according to what I have heard and witnessed, Fivefold Ministry and its function remains to be a shadowy and little understood matter to the majority of ministers, not to mention lay believers, including even those claiming to be Charismatic.

Oh, some say they believe there is such a thing as Fivefold Ministry, which is more than can be said for the vast majority of so-called “mainline” and Evangelical denominational ministers. However, most even Charismatic ministers have what could only be referred to as a cursory understanding of these Ascension Gifts of Christ and how the Bible prescribes they are to function and flow together, and very few of them have incorporated all of those ministry offices into their rightful place of function within the design and structure of their local church. If they did, the spiritual impact upon their church, in numerous ways, would be exponential. Sadly, most of the classic Pentecostal denominations long ago sided with unscriptural and thoroughly debunked cessation theories posited in the 19th Century and revisited in the 20th Century—to their own detriment and gradual demise—thus proving the case Jesus Himself made that the new wine of fresh spiritual revelation cannot be poured into old wineskins that no longer have the capacity to stretch.

The Role of Fivefold Ministry

January 24th, 2012 admin

Fivefold Ministry is the ongoing surrogate ministry of Christ Himself to the Church—His Betrothed. All legitimate ministry emanates from Jesus Himself and is an extension of His ministry. Unless it emulates His ministry, it’s not legitimate ministry. Jesus’ three-and-a-half-year fleshly ministry is the model for all genuine ministry, and we can see in the Gospel accounts that Jesus functioned in all five of the Fivefold Ministry Offices.

Fivefold Ministry consists of five functions or offices of function: apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, and teacher. The primary scripture enumerating these offices is verse eleven of Ephesians Four. Relationally these offices are horizontal, non-hierarchical, and non-authoritarian (cf., Mk. 10:35-45; 16:19; Lk. 22:69; Ac. 5:31; 7:55,56; Rom. 8:34; Eph. 1:20; Col. 3:1; Heb. 1:3,13; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; 1 Pet. 3:22; Rom. 8:29; Heb. 12:23). These terms are not titles implying authority or entitlement of any kind, but rather terms alluding to specific ministerial functions.

The essence and role of the Fivefold Ministry can only be understood in the context of the Church and Christ’s relationship with it. Above all else, the Church is “the Lamb’s Wife” (Rev. 21:9). Presently, in the natural, the Church is the Betrothed of Christ, since the Marriage Supper of the Lamb has not yet occurred. Yet, in the Spirit, wherein God always speaks of those things that are not as though they already were, the Church is now “The Lamb’s Wife.” Read the rest of this entry »

How to Receive The Baptism in the Holy Spirit

January 3rd, 2012 admin

Dunamis-Power! By Dr. Steven LambertThe Baptism in the Holy Spirit, evidenced initially by the gift of tongues, is a separate and distinct experience to salvation that God offers to all believers. Both salvation and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, however, are a work of the Holy Spirit. In salvation, the Holy Spirit comes to live within the believer — this is the regenerative work of the Holy Spirit. In the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, the believer is enveloped by and immersed in the Holy Spirit; that is to say, the Holy Spirit comes upon the believer in contrast to into the believer. These facts are clearly supported by Scripture and are exemplified by the experience of Jesus Himself, who is our supreme Model. Read the rest of this entry »

Who Is The Christmas Baby?

December 26th, 2011 admin

At this wonderful time of the year that we call “Christmas,” people around the world will be celebrating and commemorating the fact that more than 2,000 years ago a Baby was born in a manger. But for the believer, we know that that Baby was not born to stay a Baby. That Baby was more than a Baby!

Who was that Baby born on Christmas Morn, really? This is the Story of who that Baby was! Read the rest of this entry »

The Mystery of the Kingdom (Part 1)

July 28th, 2011 admin
Mystery of the Kingdom, By Dr. Steven Lambert

God is in the process of purifying His Church toward the end of glorifying the Eternal Bride of Christ, the Lamb’s wife (Rev. 21:9). That is to say, God has already begun to take the Church through a process of purification unto glorification, which shall result ultimately in exaltation of the true Bride of Christ unto the final status and station unto which she is destined.

Every former move of God throughout history shall be eclipsed by what is about to take place as God exalts the Church into “all her glory” (Eph. 5:27). And, this thing shall not be done in a corner (Acts 26:26). The entire world shall be made to witness this spectacular phenomenon — the exaltation of a people, a nation, what is called, “A Holy Nation,” the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing, a mighty throng, clothed in white garments, girded about with the Truth and the golden breastplate of righteousness, having the high-praises of God in their mouths and a two-edged sword in their hands.

While the world, on the other hand, shall be thrust into a chaotic period in which everything that can be shaken, will be, so that in the end all the kingdoms of men shall be toppled.

In the midst of the rubble shall arise another Kingdom — a Kingdom of all majesty and glory — the Kingdom of God. Read the rest of this entry »

Do My Prophets No Harm!

March 26th, 2011 admin
Dr. Steven Lambert

“Do not touch My anointed ones, And do My prophets no harm” (1Ch 16:22; Ps. 105:15).

Though this Divine command is too often abused and misused, God said it twice in His Word, which is special emphasis indicating He certainly meant it! Though, of course, God always says what He means and means what He says! Thus, I would say it would be a good idea for anyone to give heed to that warning. Anytime you think God is leading you to engage in an ad hominem attack of words and/or actions or some sort of an insurrection against a genuinely anointed and appointed man of God, another good idea is to remember the fate of the company of “Korah & Sons,” who participated in a personal attack and insurrection against the man God had chosen and anointed to deliver Israel, Moses, and the principle of unintended consequences!

Why Hurt People Hurt People

March 9th, 2011 admin
Dr. Joseph Mattera

There now exists in the mental health realm an entire discipline related to trauma-related disorders and syndromes. Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome (PTSD) is perhaps the most known among non-professionals. It was first recognized as an actual mental health syndrome relative to military servicemen serving in combat during the “Vietnam Conflict,” which, incredibly and inscrutably, has never been officially recognized by the United States government as a “war.” The ramifications and tenacles of trauma, mental health scientists and professionals are continuously learning, are extremely far-reaching in the psychological make-up of individuals who suffered from it. Moreover, the numbers and demographics of those afflicted with various forms and degrees of trauma-related mental health problems are staggering and astounding.

The number one result of trauma to the human psyche, simply stated, is an inner “hurt” or “pain.” And the most common result of that hurt or pain is that “hurt people hurt people.” Without a doubt it is true. In fact there are untold myriad of people who’ve suffered from inward hurt their entire lives, some from cradle to coffin, to put it bluntly, who are so used to living with this internalized pain that they never come to a realization that it is there, and that it has had a far-reaching impact upon virtually every aspect of their life, relationships being the most affected aspect. Untold numbers of relationships — marital, familial, business, and every other kind of social relationship there is — have been either negatively impacted or completely destroyed as a result of hidden (occult) hurt. Those who suffer from un-discovered and un-treated hurt usually are the locomotive in a long train of decimated relationships, and as a consequence live a life of continual sadness, sorrow, self-loathing, solitude, and sometimes self-destruction.

God’s Perestroika!

February 1st, 2011 admin
Dr. Steven Lambert

The centerpiece of this post is a prophetic message I delivered in December, 1988. The date of the delivery of the message is significant because the message predicted major governmental debacle and dismantling that would be occurring in many nations of the world, beginning with the U.S.S.R., and it was in November, 1989, that East Germany issued a decree for the Berlin Wall dividing free Berlin from Communist Berlin that had stood for 28 years to be opened to allow free ingress and egress between the East and West factions of the city. By the end of 1990 the wall was completely disassembled contemporaneously with the collapse of Communism in Eastern Europe and in U.S.S.R., marking the end of the Cold War era. The historic opening of the Berlin Wall came only a little more than two years after President Ronald Reagan, who I believe was a political prophet anointed and appointed by God, “In a speech at the Brandenburg Gate commemorating the 750th anniversary of Berlin, by the Berlin Wall on June 12, 1987,”1 trumpeted the now infamous divinely-inspired prophetic decree, “Mr. Gorbachev, Tear down this wall!” Read the rest of this entry »

Demigod Leaders

January 14th, 2011 admin
Dr. Joseph Mattera

WARNING! God’s putting His prophetic finger on a major problem plaguing the Church Jesus is building! Celebrity cult-status leaders—who act like spiritual divas and present themselves as demigods, based in arrogance, ascendancy, supremacy, and narcissism that has convinced them they are better than and above everyone else—are on the rise particularly in the American Church.

You’ve seen them…they’re so “important” (in their own minds) that, like “gangsta” subculture “homies” or mob mafiosos, they must be accompanied by an entourage of sycophants and bodyguards wherever they go to enforce their inaccessibility—even to peers, staff, and collegues—and to reinforce their self-proclaimed VIP status and public image. Unaccountable islands to themselves who can’t be bothered with the mere plebian masses. “Wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever,” Jude, inspired by the Spirit, called their ilk.

The Generation That Shall Not Pass Away!

January 4th, 2011 admin
Dr. Steven Lambert

The adoption of UN General Assembly Resolution 181 by the narrowest of margins on November 29, 1947 paved the way for the recognition of Israel as a nation by the existing global community of nations, which was followed by the Israeli Declaration of Independence on May 14, 1948, officially declaring the establishment of the new independent national state named ISRAEL.

The reestablishment of Israel was the fulfillment of Jesus’ prophecy concerning the budding FIG TREE (Mat 24:32-37), which is a Biblical symbol of the nation of Israel. Jesus said (v. 33), “When you see all these things, recognize that He is NEAR, RIGHT AT THE DOOR!” And in verse 37, He further clarifies that what He is alluding to is “THE COMING OF THE SON OF MAN!”

On May 14, 1948 the prophetic clock began ticking! With the Declaration of Independence by the Jewish Agency led by David Ben-Gurion and the resultant naming of Israel as a nation, the return of Christ for His Millennial reign with His Co-Sovereign Eternal Bride was made imminent; so imminent that Jesus has been standing ready RIGHT AT THE DOOR ever since. Remember that with the Lord a THOUSAND YEARS is as a DAY (2 Pet. 3:8)! Read the rest of this entry »

Egotism and Narcissism in Ministry

September 1st, 2010 admin
Dr. Joseph Mattera

Over time in the ministry you have opportunities to meet and know people in various forms of ministry and ancillary fields of endeavor such as Christian entertainment of various levels of notoriety. My beginnings in the ministry afforded me perhaps more opportunities than most in that regard. One of the observations I was forced to make early on in my experience as a Born Again Christian is that no matter how spiritual and humble those of this ilk I met or became acquainted with were, they all had an ego, some larger than others, but they all had an ego. In the first couple of years of my Christian walk (though I now know how silly that was), I was troubled about that, to the point of being somewhat disillusioned and distracted, especially in the case of those who were famous or well-known.

As much as those who are earnestly attempting to emulate the life and nature of Christ endeavor to die to themselves and become of “no reputation” as Jesus did, I think we all pretty much are always going to be saddled with the bane, if you will, that when we get right down to it, we all have an ego. Though I’ve thought about it many times, I really still do not know how to reconcile some things about that. Does having an ego mean that we haven’t died to ourselves yet? Does having an ego mean we have not made ourselves of no reputation as Jesus did? Does God not want us to have an ego at all?

I really don’t know the answer to any of those questions. I’m not even sure any of us mere mortals will ever know the answer to those questions, definitively, as long as we are in these mortal bodies. Basically, I chalk it up to being way beyond my pay grade, and end up dropping it. Read the rest of this entry »

  • The Man In The Arena

    It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat. (Theodore Roosevelt; Speech at the Sorbonne; Paris, France; April 23, 1910)

  • American Allegiance

    "In the first place, we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person's becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American.... There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language.... And we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people." — Theodore Roosevelt, 1907
