WesleyGospel Ministries

We identify with the Twenty-Five Articles of Religion that were drawn up by John Wesley in 1784. However, we also believe in the Pentecostal developments, that have happened within the Wesleyan tradition in the past century, and so we’d also agree with the statement of faith by Assemblies of God. Although we’re continuationists that believe in experiencing the gifts of the Spirit: we do not identify with the teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation. –J.B.

My current bibliography on Reformed charismatic teaching. While I think its wrong to exalt personal experience above the Bible: I think its equally bad to resist the whole concept of receiving the gifts of the Spirit in 1 Corinthians 12-14. –J.B.

Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the midst of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind. –Jeremiah 51:1 (KJV)

The Lord popped open this chapter to me today completely unplanned. I believe this is still a word of the Lord over America, but specifically, now I believe its mainly against the “NAR prophets.” What happens now in the natural world through hurricanes, tornados, and wars; is only a sign of what God is doing through the Roys Report, Justin Peters, Holly Pivec, American Gospel, and other Bible believing evangelical podcasters in taking down false prophetic ministries in the NAR. I think that God views these NAR prophets as worshipers of Bel, the god of Babylon. Covetousness is their primary sin (Jer. 51:13). Caterpillars and destroying winds are coming against the finances of their ministries in Jesus’ name (Jer. 51:1, 14). They don’t believe in the wrath and judgment of God, so they won’t know what hit them until its too late. They think Reformed people have the “spirit of fear” and an “orphan spirit” when they speak of such things. The reason for this is because they are effeminate, sissy prophets–what could have been “the mighty men of Babylon…became as women” instead (Jer. 51:30). The reality is that NAR prophets are idol worshipers of a graven image not based on the Word of God (Jer. 51:17). And what God will do now and again by lightnings, rain, and extreme winds will only be an outward symbol of what God plans to accomplish against their false prophet ministry money. “So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come upon Babylon” (51:60). I believe with all of my heart this is a word from the Lord! But that’s just me. –J.B.

Time has arrived, we see all the signs
Revolution now is the time
Revelation soon to arise
Tribulation means it’s the time
Send out the soldiers
Their shield is their souls
Revolution coming unfold
Revelation coming untold
The prophet born to the world

Life, I know our life goes way out beyond
I leave you fire to carry on
Salvation coming to those
With the Most High in their souls

Here comes the prophet
(time has arrived)
The prophet
(revolution/revelation)
Here comes the prophet
(time has arrived)

Rise above and beyond the sky
You know that we got to fight
The struggle to survive
This is my life

Um, dois, treis, qua

The prophet – mais forte do que a morte (stronger than death)
The prophet – stronger than it all
The prophet

It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle,

–Mark 10:25 (KJV)–

¹⁹ Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰ But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: ²¹ for where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
–Matthew 6:19-21 (KJV)–

God is angry with the wicked every day.
–Psalm 7:11 (KJV)–

I’ll admit that “pulling your leg” is a parlor trick that can be used by charlatans. But I will also say this: I myself had a hobble for years; and the fire of the Holy Spirit burned on my left hip and grew my left leg out to enable me to walk evenly. The lady who prayed for me, Mrs. Mann, was a nurse at the local hospital. I don’t have perfect health, but yes that did happen to me at Ryan Wyatt’s Abiding Glory Ministries in Knoxville, TN in 2009 if I’m not mistaken about the year. –J.B.

The wrath of God is being revealed from Heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness…Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error…Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.
–Romans 1:18, 26-28 (NIV)–

They were judged every man according to their works.
And death and Hell were cast into the Lake of Fire.
And whosoever was not found written in the Book of Life
was cast into the Lake of Fire.
–Revelation 20:13-15 (KJV)–
