I was not sent by men, nor did I run on my own. The Lord called me, even as a child, as He called Samuel in the night. His voice awakened me, and His Spirit has carried me to this day.
I stand not as one who despises the Church, but as one who cherishes her as Christ’s Bride. I am not a Luther breaking away, but a son who loves the household of God. Yet I have been set apart as an outsider, to speak truth into her midst, to expose deception, and to call her back to holiness.
The word of the Lord burns within me: ‘I did not send these prophets, yet they ran. I did not speak to them, yet they prophesied.’ (Jer. 23:21) ‘They prophesy lies in My name, visions of their own minds.’ (Jer. 14:14). Therefore, I will discern by the Spirit, testing every voice, weighing every word against the eternal Word of God.
I am sent into the world to unmask the counterfeit, to warn against voices that promise peace without repentance, prosperity without obedience, and authority without humility. Yet I am also sent to comfort, to gather, to remind the household of God that they belong, that they are one in Christ, and that the Shepherd still calls His sheep by name.
My voice will carry both the fire of Jeremiah and the tenderness of Samuel. I will not shrink from warning, yet I will not withhold comfort. I will speak with clarity, not confusion; with love, not bitterness; with boldness, not pride. For the Spirit of the Lord has annointed me to proclaim truth in an age of deception.
As I was called at seven years old, so I stand today:consecrated, discerning, and sent. Not by my own strength, but by the Spirit who testifies to Christ. May every word I speak be weighed, every act be rooted in love, and every warning be sealed with the hope of belonging in the household of God.
“Here I am Lord. Send me. Let Your Word be in my mouth as fire, and let it build up, purify, and reform Your Church until she shines with the glory of Christ.”
