 1965 Vision of Coming Deception

I thought this was interesting. I know many of you do not get into "prophecy" as a Word from the Lord, but this is obviously very genuine. I am always praying about discernment and not being deceived in these days.

In Him, Chanin
~~~~~~~~~~

The following is an excerpt from a prophecy given at the Elim Bible Institute Summer Camp Meeting in 1965 by the late Stanley Frodsham. He was a recognized prophet and teacher in the Body of Christ whose life and ministry spanned the Pentecostal Revival, the great Healing Revival and the early days of the Charismatic Movement.

"When I visit My people in mighty revival power, it is to prepare them for the darkness ahead. With the glory shall come great darkness, for the glory is to prepare My people for the darkness. I will enable My people to go through because of the visitation of My Spirit. Take& heed to yourselves lest you be puffed up and think that you have arrived. Many shall be puffed up as in the olden days, for many then received My message but they continued not in it. Did I not anoint Jehu? Yet the things I desired were not accomplished in his life. Listen to the messengers, but do not hold men's persons in admiration. For many whom I shall anoint mightily, with signs and miracles, shall be lifted up and shall fall away by the wayside. I do not do this willingly; I have made provision that they might stand. I call many into this ministry and equip them; but remember that many shall fall. They shall be like bright lights and people shall delight in them. But they shall be taken over by deceiving spirits and shall lead many of My people away.

"Hearken diligently concerning these things, for in the last days will come seducing spirits that shall turn many of My anointed ones away. Many shall fall through various lusts and because of sin abounding. But if you will seek Me diligently, I will put My Spirit within you. When one shall turn to the right hand or to the left you shall not turn with them, but keep your eyes wholly on the Lord. The coming days are most dangerous, difficult and dark, but there shall be a mighty outpouring of My Spirit upon many cities. My people must be diligently warned concerning the days that are ahead. Many shall turn after seducing spirits; many are already seducing My people. It is those who do righteousness that are righteous. Many cover their sins by theological words. But I warn you of seducing spirits who instruct My people in a evil way.

"Many shall come with seducing spirits and hold out lustful enticements. You will find that after I have visited My people again, the way shall become more and more narrow, and fewer shall walk therein. But be not deceived, the ways of righteousness are My ways. For though Satan comes as an angel of light, hearken not to him; for those who perform miracles and speak not righteousness are not of Me. I warn you with great intensity that I am going to judge My house and have a church without spot or wrinkle when I come. I desire to open your eyes and give you spiritual understanding, that you may not be deceived but may walk in uprightness of heart before Me, loving righteousness and hating every evil way. Look unto Me, and I will make you to perceive with eyes of the Spirit the things that lurk in darkness that are not visible to the human eye. Let me lead you in this way that you may perceive the powers of darkness and battle against them. It is not a battle against flesh and blood; for if you battle in that way, you accomplish nothing. But if you let Me take over and battle against the powers of darkness, than they are defeated, and then liberation is brought to My people.

"I warn you to search the Scriptures diligently concerning these last days. For the things that are written shall indeed be made manifest. There shall come deceivers among My people in increasing numbers who shall speak for the truth and shall gain the favor of the people. For the people shall examine the Scriptures and say, 'What these men say is true'. Then when they have gained the hearts of the people, then and only then shall Satan enter into My people. Watch for seducers. Do you think a seducer will brandish a new heresy and flaunt it before the people? He will speak the words of righteousness and truth, and will appear as a minister of light declaring the Word. The people's hearts shall be won. Then, when the hearts are won, they will bring out their doctrines, and the people shall be deceived. The people shall say, 'Did he not speak thus and thus? And did we not examine it from the Word? Therefore he is a minister of righteousness. This that he has spoken we do not see in the Word, but it must be right, for the other things he spoke were true.'

"Be not deceived. For the deceiver will first work to gain the hearts of many, and then shall bring forth his insidious doctrines. You cannot discern those that are of Me and those that are not of Me when they start to preach. But seek Me constantly, and then when these doctrines are brought out you shall have a witness in your heart that these are not of Me. Fear not, for I have warned you. Many will be deceived. But if you walk in holiness and uprightness before the Lord, your eyes shall be open and the Lord will protect you. If you will constantly look unto the Lord, you will know when the doctrine changes and will not be brought into it. If your heart is right I will keep you; and if you will constantly look to Me, I will uphold you.

"The minister of righteousness shall be on this wise: his life shall agree with the Word and his lips shall give forth that which is wholly true, and it will be no mixture. When the mixture appears, then you will know he is not a minister of righteousness. The deceivers speak first the truth then error, to cover their own sins which they love. Therefore, I exhort and command you to study the Scriptures relative to seducing spirits, for this is one of the great dangers of these last days.

"I desire you to firmly be established in My Word and not in the personalities of men that you will not be moved as so many shall be moved. Take heed to yourselves and follow not the seducing spirits that are already manifesting themselves. Diligently inquire of Me when you hear something that you have not seen in My Word, and do not hold people's persons in admiration--for it is by this very method Satan will destroy many of My people."

Mark 13:20 "If the Lord had not shortened those days, no one would be saved; but for the sake of the elect whom he chose, he did shorten the days."

So, not one person, none of us, is saved, except those where the Lord intervenes. Let's all pray that the list of the elect is very long, indeed.

What an erie feeling I get when I am reading this propehcy. Its so applicable and real in our days in which we life, most of what he said has come to pass and we are in the midst of it. Surely many preachers are teaching good things but God is calling us to the perfect, Even if the message appears good on the outside but has some rotness in the inside, God is saying leave that alone. Would you bit into an apple that is rotten in the inside or has a worm? why are we feeding off rotten, decaying teachings which are harming our soul. We have to flee from these things and go to Gods word as the prophecy repeated over and over again. Gods word is the plumbline that we have to base our judgements and discernments in these days. The Holy Spirit will lead into all truth, not into half-truths, be weary, and sensitive to the leadings and convictions of the Holy Spirit.

Quote:

In the last days there will be people who are desiring to have there ears tickled with teachings that are pleasing to the flesh. If something sounds good or feels good that doesnt mean its the truth or benefical. We have to base our mind on the Word of God. If you are comfortable in church week after week you might want to question are you hearing the Truth? It will be convicting, challenging and critical at times, but it leads to life.

 Re:

I thought it would be profitable to bump this old post back up. It's worth taking the time to read. Stanley Frodsham was a godly man.

 Re: 1965 Vision of Coming Deception

The deceptions started immediately after the vision was given. We are seeing the fruit of that now.

 Re: 1965 Vision of Coming Deception

Thank you for bringing this back up. I am seeing this fulfilled before my eyes. Obviously deception has always been here, but it is becoming more subtle and stronger. I am seeing strong delusion and many are believing a lie. I am seeing more and more the importance of staying close to God.

I thought that you all would find this interesting!

Stanley Frodsham

Brief Biography:

"God's greatest gifts oftentimes come in unassuming packages. Such was Stanley Frodsham, one of the greatest Pentecostal treasures God ever sent to the Body of Christ.

Stanley Frodsham (1882-1969) was born in England. He became an early leader in the Pentecostal Outpouring of the early 1900's. For years he was the editor and publisher of all of the Assemblies of God publications, earning Frodsham the affectionate title of "God's Prophet with a Pen." He ministered alongside and knew early Pentecostal giants such as Smith Wigglesworth, Howard Carter, WFP Burton, the Jeffreys Brothers and others. Brother Frodsham's wedding ceremony was performed by his friend, Smith Wigglesworth. Years later, Stanley Frodsham wrote the first biography of Wigglesworth. He eventually separated from the AOG and began ministering among independant Pentecostals.

Keith Malcomson writes of Stanley Frodsham, "His ministry was totally Christ-centred and he was bold in dealing with error when he came across it." [A man after my own heart]. "When he came across groups that were "way out" if they did not hearken to the clarity of scripture then he departed and avoided them." [So should we].

Out of a deep hunger for God he was moved more than ever to give his early mornings and all nights to God in prayer. He said, "I'm sure God has much for us who will get desperate and spend much time waiting on Him." In 1964 the Spirit of God started to continually bring solemn prophetic warnings to him of coming delusion and error that would come to the churches. He warned of a spirit of deception coming to those who did not hold fast to the Truth of the Bible and walk in holiness and righteousness. He could see afar off what was going to come in amongst Pentecostals and Charismatics.

One fellow labourer and friend noted his characteristics, "his gentleness, his forgiving spirit to all who offended him, his abounding and unfailing generosity, the precious gift of prophesy, and his indomitable faith." Even when Brother Frodsham reached his 80's, he was still travelling, ministering, and keeping busy for the Master.

In 1969 in the middle of the night he finished his pilgrimage and so God's Penman went to his Lord. On the grave marker was engraved an open book with AMEN HALLELUJAH GLORY on it. The last letter written to his only daughter finished with these apt lines, "Make much of the Word of God, make much of the Blood, and make much of the shortness of time."*

*This biography is adapted from the more lengthy one posted on our friend Keith Malcomson's website, www.pentecostalpioneers.org.
