Christian synod (c. AD 50)

The unchecked false prophecies, stealing of words, data mining, and more need to end. I'm looking at the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE) which is supposedly keeping people in prophetic accountability, but who is holding them accountable for prophesying falsely year after year? As the Lord said in Jeremiah chapter 5 vv 30-31 An appalling and horrible thing has happened in the land: the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests rule at their direction; my people love to have it so, but what will you do when the end comes?

Send us a textIn this episode of The Remnant Radio, we critically examine the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders (ACPE) and their recent public statement addressing prophetic accountability and testing of the prophets. Are they truly holding prophets to biblical standards, or is there a deeper issue of inconsistency and theological missteps? We review their response to Emma Stark's controversial prophecy and explore broader questions about integrity within the prophetic movement. If you're passionate about prophetic ministry, theological accuracy, and understanding the gifts of the Spirit in a biblical context, this discussion is for you. Watch now to engage with a thought-provoking critique and gain insights on the state of modern charismatic leadership. What We Cover in This Video: -ACPE's response to Emma Stark and her prophecy about Donald Trump -Why prophetic accountability matters for the church -Theological analysis of contingent versus fixed prophecies -Exploring the implications of false prophecy within the charismatic movement
Send us a textIn this episode, we'll dive deep into the world of prophecy by examining and testing recent prophetic words from Emma Stark, founder and leader of Global Prophetic Alliance. We'll assess the validity and theological soundness of these prophecies, particularly focusing on claims about Donald Trump and the potential for national chaos. We'll also examine comments from Cindy Jacobs as her organization, the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders, tests and reviews Emma's prophetic word. We'll discuss the proper channels for submitting and reviewing national-level prophecies as well as critique the current practices within the prophetic community. Join us as we dissect these claims, offering biblical, historical, and theological insights, while underscoring the need for accountability and integrity in the modern prophetic movement.
It began with a dream God gave to Lou Engle in 2014, and culminated in 375,000 women (and men!) gathered in person on the National Mall in D.C., and TEN MILLION ONLINE, for what appears to be one of the greatest one-day prayer gatherings of all time. And it's not stopping there. This has become a global movement that is spreading around the earth with a unison cry for a revival that begins with our homes and reaches up into our governments!

Treat Jen to Coffee ——————————————————— Everyone has been talking about Asbury College this last month, including secular media outlets, wondering what is causing this stir of hungry believers to travel across the country and discover what's happening there? One word that is being consistently used to describe what's happening at Asbury is "Revival". Now, to those who've been around church for any length of time, this is not a new phrase, but it may be causing a lot of questions to the surface like, "What exactly IS revival?" "Why are they calling what's happening at Asbury, revival?" or "How is what's happening there unique?" If you've been curious about what's happening at Asbury, or around the topic of Revival period, my guest Larry Sparks is a revivalist and carries this message of stirring the church to a deeper hunger for the Lord around in his heart. This episode is both vision casting, and practical daily application, inspiring and encouraging.

Sunday 27 February 2022 The Apostolic Council (Brett Hilton) by Southern Cross Centre
The Bible says that we are to understand the signs of the times. I fear many in the body of Christ are sleeping. The world is quickly changing and you will be left behind if you don't take notice. In this particular case, I am speaking about what is taking place in the cryptocurrency universe. It's a fast-moving train that many have simply resigned themselves to not understanding so they check out. As a believer, you cannot do that and be relevant in the world. This past December Brett King gave an amazing talk on the Future of Banking at the 2021 Cryptocurrency International Conference in Abi Dahbi. Believe me, this was an eye-opening presentation! Every person should watch this presentation. I've watched it several times. At the conclusion of every year the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders gather at end of each year. They pray the New Year in and share what they sense the Lord is saying to the body of Christ. I found some of what they said confirming what I believe is going on in the financial markets. “The Technology Revolution – We are in the midst of one of the greatest revolutions since the industrial revolution. This revolution will be in the “unseen spaces” of the Metaverse and Web 3. Over the next few decades, the use of AI (artificial intelligence) and AR (augmented reality), using at this point technology such as Oculus, will drastically change the world as we know it. The introduction of robotics into our everyday lives will take place. God will give His people new ideas on how to create jobs and be on the cutting edge of developing jobs that will result in the promised transfer of wealth. Generation Z will experience a movement of holiness. They will be so fervent before God that it will provoke the generations before them to join in with their consecration. New waves of technology will be used that will result in hundreds of thousands of genuine conversions through the use of social media, such as Tik Tok and other new innovative tools. There are many new technological breakthroughs coming that will involve the Metaverse and Web 3, as well as crypto currency. Believers will become students of such things, and God will begin to put Christians on the fore-running edge of these technologies. There was an admonition not to demonize these new technologies. They are neutral in and of themselves. Even though there is potential to use them for evil, we need to understand how to use them for good for the Gospel's sake. The possibilities of using AR for things such as training for surgery, etc., are many. This technology revolution will produce a great decentralization of the way we have done things in the past. Many structures will experience a decentralization. It will be important to discern when God is causing the structures to decentralize as opposed to Satan trying to break up and scatter structures. This will involve the economies of nations as well. The way we buy and sell will dramatically change over the next few years on an even larger scale than it already has. God will raise up a young generation who are “futurists”, or are very prophetic in their abilities to function in the world of crypto-currency, and great wealth will be created for the Kingdom of God. It's time for the Daniels and Josephs – We have released words about God raising up Daniels and Josephs who will prosper in whatever political climates, as well as financial climates, may come in the future.”

If you were to go on social media, you would likely not have difficulty in finding an abundance of prophetic words for 2022. But are these really words from God? How can we test vague words and generalities against Scripture? I actually found a word for 2022 from a council of prophets that I will be evaluating on this episode, and we will return to the more certain Word of prophecy, Scripture. I hope you're ready for a few choice words!

Full Text of ReadingsMemorial of Saints Timothy and Titus, bishops Lectionary: 520/318All podcast readings are produced by the USCCB and are from the Catholic Lectionary, based on the New American Bible and approved for use in the United States _______________________________________The Saint of the day is Sts. Timothy and TitusOn Jan. 26, the Roman Catholic Church celebrates the liturgical memorial of Saints Timothy and Titus, close companions of the Apostle Paul and bishops of the Catholic Church in its earliest days.Both men received letters from St. Paul, which are included in the New Testament.Pope Benedict XVI discussed these early bishops during a general audience on Dec. 13, 2006, noting their readiness to take on various offices in far from easy circumstances. Both saints, the Pope said, teach us to serve the Gospel with generosity, realizing that this also entails a service to the Church herself.The son of a Jewish mother and a non-Jewish father, Timothy came from Lystra in present-day Turkey. His mother, Eunice, and his grandmother, Lois, are known to have joined the Church, and Timothy himself is described as a student of Sacred Scripture from his youth.After St. Pauls visit to Timothys home region of Lycaonia, around the year 51, the young man joined the apostle and accompanied him in his travels. After religious strife forced Paul to leave the city of Berea, Timothy remained to help the local church. Paul later sent him to Thessalonica to help the Church during a period of persecution.The two met up again in Corinth, and Timothy eventually journeyed to Macedonia on Pauls behalf. Problems in the Corinthian Church brought Timothy back for a time, after which he joined Paul and accompanied the apostle in subsequent travels.Like Paul, Timothy endured a period of imprisonment in the course of his missionary work. His release is mentioned in the New Testament Epistle to the Hebrews.Around the year 64, Timothy became the first bishop of the Church of Ephesus. During that same year, he received the first of two surviving letters from St. Paul. The second, written the next year, urges Timothy to visit St. Paul in Rome, where he was imprisoned before his martyrdom.Ancient sources state that St. Timothy followed his mentor in dying as a martyr for the faith. In the year 93, during his leadership of the Church in Ephesus, he took a stand against the worship of idols and was consequently killed by a mob. The pagan festival he was protesting was held Jan. 22, and this date was preserved as St. Timothys memorial in the Christian East.In contrast with Timothys partial Jewish descent and early Biblical studies, St. Titus who was born into a pagan family is said to have studied Greek philosophy and poetry in his early years. But he pursued a life of virtue, and purportedly had a prophetic dream that caused him to begin reading the Hebrew Scriptures.According to tradition, Titus journeyed to Jerusalem and witnessed the preaching of Christ during the Lords ministry on earth. Only later, however after the conversion of St. Paul and the beginning of his ministry did Titus receive baptism from the apostle, who called the pagan convert his true child in our common faith.St. Paul was not only Titus spiritual father, but also depended on his convert as an assistant and interpreter. Titus accompanied Paul to the Apostolic Council of Jerusalem during the year 51, and was later sent to the Corinthian Church on two occasions. After the end of Pauls first imprisonment in Rome, the apostle ordained Titus as the Bishop of Crete.Paul sent his only surviving letter to Titus around the year 64, giving instructions in pastoral ministry to his disciple as he prepared to meet up with him in the Greek city of Nicopolis. Titus evangelized the region of Dalmatia in modern Croatia before returning to Crete.Titus is credited with leading the Church of Crete well into his 90s, overturning paganism and promoting the faith through his prayers and preaching. Unlike St. Timothy, St. Titus was not martyred, but died peacefully in old age. Saint of the Day Copyright CNA, Catholic News Agency

St Mark the Apostle On the 27th day of the Coptic month of Baramouda we celebrate the life of St Mark Apostle, the first pope of Alexandria..His name was John, as the Holy Bible says: "He came to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose surname was Mark, where many were gathered together praying" (Acts 12:12). He was the one Jesus Christ was referring to, when He said: "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, The Teacher says, My time is at hand; I will keep the Passover at your house with My disciples" (Matthew 26:18).Mark’s house was thus the first Christian church, where they ate the Passover, hid after the crucifiction of the Jesus Christ, and where the Holy Spirit came upon them.Mark was born in Cyrene in North Africa. His father's name was Aristopolus and his mother's name was Mary. They were Jewish in faith, rich and of great honor. They educated Mark with the Greek and Hebrew cultures. He was called Mark after they emigrated to Jerusalem, where St. Peter had become a disciple to the Lord Christ. St. Peter was married to the cousin of Aristopolus. Mark visited St. Peter's house often, and from him he learned the Christian teachings.Once Aristopolus and his son Mark were walking near the Jordan river, near the desert. They came upon a raving lion and a lioness. It was evident to Aristopolus that it would be his end and the end of his son. He ordered his son to run and save himself. Mark answered, "Christ, in whose hands our lives are committed, will not let them feast on us." Saying this, he prayed, "O, Christ, Son of God protect us from the evil of these two beasts and terminate their offspring from this wilderness." Immediately, God granted this prayer, and the two beasts fell dead. His father marvelled and asked his son to tell him about Jesus Christ. He believed in the Lord Christ at the hands of his son, who baptized him.After the ascension of Jesus Christ, Mark accompanied Paul and Barnabas to preach the Gospel in Antioch, Seleucia, Cyprus, Salamis, and Perga Pamphylia where he left them and returned to Jerusalem. After the Apostolic Council in Jerusalem, he went with Barnabas to Cyprus.After the departure of Barnabas, with the order of the Christ, Mark went to Afrikia, Berka, and the Five Western cities. He preached the Gospel in these parts, and most of its people believed. From there, he went to Alexandria in the 61 A.D.When he entered the city, his shoe was torn because of much walking in preaching and evangelism. He went to a cobbler in the city, called Anianus, to repair it. While he was repairing it the cobbler accidentally pierced his finger. Anianus shouted in Greek saying "EIS THEOS" which means "O, ONE GOD". When Mark heard these words his heart rejoiced exceedingly. He found it suitable to talk to him about the One God. The Apostle took some clay, spat on it and applied it to Anianus' finger, saying in the Name of Jesus Christ the Son of God, and straightaway the wound was healed as if nothing had happened to it.Anianus invited him to go to his house and brought his children before Mark. He preached and baptized them in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.When the believers in the Name of Christ increased and the pagan people of the city heard that, they were angry and thought of slaying St. Mark. The faithful advised him to get away for a short while for the sake of the safety of the church and its care. Mark ordained St. Anianus a Bishop for Alexandria, as well as three priests and seven deacons. He went to the Five Western Cities, remained there for two years preaching, and ordained bishops, priests, and deacons.He returned to Alexandria where he found the believers had increased in number, and built a church for them in the place known as Bokalia (The place of cows), east of Alexandria on the sea shore.It came to pass, when he was celebrating the feast of the Resurrection on the 29th day of Baramudah, year 68 A.D., it coincided with a great pagan Celebration for the feast of the god Syrabis. A mob assembled and attacked the church at Bokalia and forced their way in. They seized Mark, bound him with a thick rope and dragged him in the roads and streets crying, "Drag the dragon to the place of Cows." They continued dragging him with severe cruelty. His flesh was torn and scattered everywhere, and the ground of the city was covered with his blood. They cast him that night into a dark prison.The angel of the Lord appeared to him and told him: "O Mark, the good servant, rejoice for your name has been written in the book of life, and you have been counted among the congregation of the saints." The angel disappeared, then the Lord Christ appeared to him, and gave him peace. His soul rejoiced and was glad.The next morning, the pagans took Mark from the prison. They tied his neck with a thick rope and did the same as the day before, dragging him over the rocks and stones. Finally, Mark delivered up his pure soul in the hand of God, and received the crown of martyrdom, the apostolic crown, the crown of evangelism, and the crown of virginity.Nevertheless, St. Mark's death did not satisfy the rage of the pagans or their hatred. They gathered firewood and prepared an inferno to burn his body. A severe storm blew in with heavy rains. The pagans became frightened, and fled away in fear.The believers came and took the holy body of St Mark, carried it to the church they built at Bokalia, wrapped it up, prayed over him and place it in a coffin. They laid it in a secret place in this church.Lessons from this storyIn adding some detail to this history, it is important to note that this St Mark is the one that wrote down the Gospel According to St Mark. And in the Gospel of Mark, he describes Saint John the Baptist's voice (which witnesses said sounded like a roaring lion) crying out in the wilderness to prepare the way for Jesus' ministry. And Mark himself helped deliver the Gospel message to people with boldness, like a lion. So people began associating Saint Mark with lions. Mark is one of the four evangelists that the prophet Ezekiel saw in a miraculous vision of the future many years before Jesus came to earth; Mark appeared in the vision as a lion. And with the story along the river with his father, we see a symmetry with image of the lion.Often times the lion is referred to as the “king of the jungle”, this is based on the behavior the lion takes on with regards to his territory and the other animals who dwell in it. Despite what Disney, other animals do not bow before it, but they do fear the lion.But a lion is a fierce protector of his clan. He is unafraid of any other animal and will go to the ends of his territory to protect his family. St Mark was ordained a minister of Christ’s message, the true King, who did and still does do anything to protect his family. And to get His attention, you don’t have to roar.PrayerThank you God for the great caretakers you have put in place to help those around the world enjoy the sweet taste of your great love and salvation. Grant us strength to endure the predators in the jungle so that we too may someday sit with the king.May the prayers of St Mark the Apostle be with us all amen.
