This is Liz Franzel with Crawford Media Group, and today we’re talking with Amanda Grace, who is a well-respected prophetic voice and founder of Ark of Grace Ministries. We’ll be talking about our new book titled The Revelationary War, which gives readers insight to distinguish between true and false prophets and teachers. Welcome to our program, Amanda. Hello. Thank you for having me here. We’re so glad to have you. You know, Amanda, I have followed you on different online platforms, including YouTube and Elijah Streams, and am amazed at how you hear from the Lord and the words you release from Him. And I was hoping you can tell our listeners a little bit about how you do that before we get talking about your book.
SPEAKER 02 :
Sure. So… Basically, I hear from the Lord in different ways, and it started when I was six years old. So I started very young, because most of us are born into this office when this is what we are called to do on this earth. And so I hear from the Lord in dreams, right, sometimes, open vision sometimes. And then I also hear from the Lord in where I feel the presence of the Lord. And since we’re vessels and the Lord fills us, the Lord starts filling my vessel with what I’m supposed to type or say. And real time as he’s filling it, I’m hearing it clearly in my spirit and I am typing it out. So my mind is out of it at that point. I’m hearing it directly from my spirit and I am typing out what he is saying without asking questions, which is very hard for an Italian woman to do, by the way. You have to really be refined by God to just Listen and ask questions later. So basically I listen and I type it out or I go into flow and I just start prophesying it real time.
SPEAKER 01 :
Well, that’s amazing. And I’ve seen that. And what you get paragraphs, you don’t just get a word. It’s paragraphs. And, and, you know, I have to say, I know, just from watching you, that you have been prophesying so many things through last several or more years, and they are coming to pass. Praise God. Amen. So you have a new book, The Revelationary War. Tell us about that.
SPEAKER 02 :
So this is my first book.
SPEAKER 01 :
Okay.
SPEAKER 02 :
Which was interesting, right? Because I’ve never written a book before. So sometimes the Lord knows we’re capable of things we don’t even know we’re capable of.
SPEAKER 01 :
And it’s all about teaching us to be wise between truth and false, especially in prophets and teachers, correct?
SPEAKER 02 :
Yes, it is about that. It talks about that. And then it goes into what happened in the nation. So I wrote this book way before the election. Okay. And basically it goes into that as well. The greatest revelation of every war that we are in right now is the battle over the powers of the air. Right? Satan is the prince of the power of the air. And the airwaves, right? Social media. The coliseum and digital arena of media and technology. And this war got taken into that, right? And so did prophecy. Right. And so I go through establishing a very good foundation first about prophecy, what is prophecy, what is truth, how to spot falsities, and then I take it into the battle we’re in in the nation.
SPEAKER 01 :
So tell us about that, about prophecy and then being able to identify true prophet or prophetic words and false prophetic words and false teachers. Now, this goes back pre Bible days even. I mean, it’s just it’s been around. It’s not a new thing. And I think, you know, for some believers, it is something new. And I love that. getting it out there and introducing it but it’s it’s out there and and like I said you are a well-respected prophetic voice so tell us how what do you mean by false prophets and what are they releasing okay so the first false prophecy given on record was Satan at the tree of the knowledge of good and evil where the first shot was fired up this revelation every war it was fired at the tree
SPEAKER 02 :
You know, they had one instruction, don’t touch the tree. That’s the instruction, right, besides taking care of the animals. And so Satan comes through the serpent with a false prophecy, saying, if you eat of this, you will not die. Because the Lord knows in the day you eat of this, your eyes will be opened. you will become like God, knowing good from evil, which, by the way, is where the enemy got the lie and the deception of wokeism that he feeds today. If you eat of this, your eyes will be opened. You’ll become woke. And so it’s the same lie that he has reworked to a modern generation, and that’s the first false prophecy on record, biblically speaking, that was ever given. And so basically, to sum this up, When you’re looking at prophecy, first of all, you should never have to give somebody money first to give you a prophecy. Yes. That is not how prophets operated in the Old Testament. That’s not how they operate in the New Testament. That is fortune-telling. And that gets into the area of the occult. Also, prophets will always point you back to God, his word, and Jesus Christ. They are always trying to lead people into a deeper relationship and point them back to their creator. Okay? So that’s another thing. Prophets carry in the office a weightier anointing. It should be a heavier anointing. They speak with a fiery truth and a depth that the enemy cannot. You see what I mean? So truth is weighty, right? Truth is weighty. Lies float. That’s what I say. The truth will go deep. Lies will float.
SPEAKER 01 :
And, you know, the Bible is very clear and warns against that, and God holds them very highly accountable.
SPEAKER 02 :
He does hold them highly accountable, yes. And in the book of Amos, it says the Lord does nothing until he reveals his secrets first to his servants, the prophets, because prophecy is an announcement in its most basic definition. It is an announcement from God that is carried out by his chosen vessels. And so it is an announcement. It is meant to warn, edify, exalt, instruct people. It is meant to correct. There are many examples in Scripture of that. And so in this day and age, the fivefold is still active. Paul made rules for the fivefold in the New Testament. And prophets are one of them, right? Prophecy is one of them in the fivefold. And we touch on the other four besides apostles. So we touch on the other four, right, of teaching, And evangelism, we touch on that. But our call and our drive comes from bringing down the announcements from God’s throne into the earth.
SPEAKER 01 :
So why do you believe that modern-day Christians are easily led astray by false prophets?
SPEAKER 02 :
Well, because in the age we are in right now of Amazon, Two Day Prime, Burger King, have it your way, kind of an environment that we’re in right now, right? Click of the button. It’s so easy for anyone to get online and proclaim. That’s why I call it the digital coliseum in the book, the coliseum of media and technology. Because what were coliseums meant to do? They were meant to draw everybody’s attention, right, down to the carnage of what was happening at the bottom. Right. And so it becomes, you know, in a way… very easy for somebody now to just turn a camera on, get a microphone, proclaim they’re a prophet without going through any process. True prophets are walked through the fire for long periods of time and refined before God gives them the platform. The process comes before the platform, and people want to leapfrog, circumvent, go around the process.
SPEAKER 01 :
Right. And I think it can be such a slippery slope because there’s half-truths being told. Even when you were talking about the garden and the serpent in the garden, it was a half-truth that they glommed onto. And I think the same for us today.
SPEAKER 02 :
Because it sounds good. Yes, it does. It sounds good. And what the enemy does is he takes a little bit of truth and he mixes it with a whole lot of lie. So then that little bit of truth in his attempt is to validate the lie. That’s always why the enemy puts truth in there. He hates truth. He uses it as a means to his end to try to validate the rest of the lie.
SPEAKER 01 :
What’s interesting is he uses truth to deceive people.
SPEAKER 02 :
He does, I know, and this is where the counterfeiting comes in. See, the enemy cannot create, meaning he’s not the creator. He’s not Almighty God. He can’t just speak and it is. He has to take what already is and manipulate it. for his purposes. So truth already is in the Word of God. So he takes it and he manipulates it. And one of the best examples of this is when Jesus himself faces off against Satan in the wilderness after he’s been fasting 40 days and 40 nights. And Satan quotes the Word in a very corrupt way to tempt the Word to turn on the Word. And this is how much of a sociopath Satan is. And of all things he quoted to Jesus, he quoted Psalm 91. He said, throw yourself down for it is written. He will give his angels charge over you to keep you in all your ways. In their hands they will bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone. But Jesus always comes back with, it is written, and forever will be written. You see, so the enemy used Psalm 91, which that should point you in the direction that if the enemy zeroed in on that psalm, that psalm has a lot of power. Because the enemy does not try to take and use what does not have power. He always tries to use something that has depth to it and weight to it. He will attempt to take and use. And so that’s another example of how the enemy just took it. He took the word, and he manipulated it and tried to use it against the word.
SPEAKER 01 :
We’re visiting with Amanda Grace, author, well-respected prophetic voice, and founder of Ark of Grace Ministries. And we’ve been talking about her new book titled The Revelationary War. Amanda, tell us why this is a must-read for every believer.
SPEAKER 02 :
in the age that we are in we need to be sharpened in the abilities god has given us because the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through god to the pulling down and destruction of strongholds right right uh the armor of god is one of them we have other weapons at our disposal we need to be sharpened in this hour in an age of heightened deception if we don’t think the enemy is going to go out with extra deception and lawlessness and an extra dose and portion of it after what has just happened in this nation because his interests are being torn down he is going to do that and so just the ability to discern gifts like that need to be sharpened in this hour in the church in the lives of the people of God so they will be able to hear God through the noise with this book does And what this book takes you through is a process of being able to hear God through the noise. It’s easy to hear God in the still and the silence. But can you hear him amongst a company of voices? And I’ll give you an example. If I’m in a very crowded room and my husband Chris yells my name, I’m going to know his voice. Even though there’s a company of voices, I’m going to say that’s the voice of my husband’s. and recognize it. In the same way, amidst a company of voices, when the voice of our Father, he says, my sheep know my voice, and the strangers, they will not follow, calls out amongst this company of voices that’s out there, will I be able to recognize immediately the voice of my Father? And that is what we have to do right now. We have just been through such a biblical election in this nation. We have just been through such a prophetic time. It is a battle for the soul of this nation. And the people of God cannot do what they did in 2016 when the election happened and the church sat on its laurels and three years later a plague hit the earth. We must be sober-minded and vigilant, knowing the enemy roams about like a lion, seeking whom they may devour. And this book helps equip you for a very unique time and window we have as the church to truly rise up and be that voice crying in the wilderness right now, prepare ye the way of the Lord.
