THE FREE WORD MINISTRY
Freely ye have received, freely give! (Matthew 10:8)

Introduction Part Two

Welcome to part two of my Introduction Page. As I explained in part one, my  website is for grown folks, for those who have out grown the traditional church building. My website is not for immature Christians but for those who are ready to eat solid food, and can handle the truth.

I am not impressed by your good comments. Neither am I shaken, disturbed, intimidated, or troubled by your negative comments. If you have a problem with what I am saying in my messages take me to the Lord in prayer!  

                                        A Prayer by Prophetess T. Roberts

Father, as we come before the throne of Grace on this day, we give you all the praise, the glory, and the honor because you are worthy to be praised. You are the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the Alpha and the Omega, you alone, are God.

Father, I thank you for choosing me as a Servant and I humbly accept my calling as a Prophetess. Father, today I thank you for my Ministry “The Free Word Ministry” and I pray that you will bless my Ministry and cause it to grow and prosper in You. Father, I pray for financial blessings, growth and development as you take my ministry to another level called Spiritual Maturity.

I thank you Father, for giving me the boldness to speak your Words without out fear or shame. Father, I pray that you will bless my website and touch the lives and hearts of each and everyone who visits my site and take them to a level of maturity in you.  Father, you told me to Roar! And I will Roar like a Lioness and cry out loud!

Father, I pray for wisdom, knowledge, Clarity, and Understanding as I deliver your Word to your people The Body of Christ.  Father, help me not to lean on my own understanding but help me to listen to what You are saying to The Church. Father,  where I am weak help me to become strong. Father, in your name I ask all these things Amen! Amen!  

Let me say this, I would be the first to say Prophetess T. Roberts is not Perfect. I have concerns, I get sick from time to time, fears, weaknesses and everything else that comes with being human. Also, while I am on the subject of imperfection let me say this.  There are no Pastors, Evangelists, Apostles, Bishops, Reverends, Deacons, Prophets, Prophetesses or anyone else who preachs the gospel of Christ that is perfect. 

They all have their worries, fears and concerns like everyone else. Just because someone has a title does not make them perfect or exempted from having human fragilities.  Also, let me say this! There is nothing supernatural about Prophetess T. Roberts or anyone else who holds a title.  The reason why I say this is because, most churchgoers see their Spiritual Leaders as some type of supernatural being.

All our strength comes from the Lord. If any transformation, growth or development takes place through my Website or Ministry, It is supernaturally done by the Holy Spirit.  I am mature enough to know this. And, I am also mature enough to know that I do not need a man or woman who calls themself Pastor to hold my hand and keep telling me the same things year after year. 

I am also mature enough to know that giving someone 10% of my salary every pay day has nothing to do with my Salvation.  I do not care if you believe in women preachers. I do not care if you believe in Prophets or Prophetesses. Neither do I care about your titles.

Personally, I don’t care what you believe or don’t believe, that is your personal business.  I was called by God, not man; I was taught how to walk in my anointing by God, not man. I was taught the Word of God by The Holy Spirit as I studied to show myself approved. I was ordained in my mother’s womb by God, and I do not need men or women’s approval to warn, rebuke correct, preach or teach.

I do not need to receive a piece of paper from an unperfected individual or institution stating that I am qualified to preach. Neither do I need a man or woman to anoint me with oil and ordain me to be who I am. I was given my ordination by God in my mother's womb and my gifts make room for me. 

When the Holy Spirit removed me from 36 years of bondage and Idolatry under what men call the "Human Covering," He never placed me back in a traditional church setting (meaning a building under a Pastor). For the last 14 years I have been home taught by the Holy Spirit.

I was taught how to rely totally on Him and His Word.  I have found that this "Human Covering Method" weakens Christians by making them co-dependant and depending more on man than God who created them. The bible says, the just lives by faith, meaning their own individual faith.

This is why the church building should not be a place for Christians to stay all their lives. You do not come to these places to stay. You come to church to be equipped then sent out into your own ministries and callings.  

Why do you feel that you must stay under someone else’s ministry that God called them to do? Your Pastor’s ministry is for him or her......Period. Your ministry is your responsibility and if you do not know what your ministry is find out!!  

One day you will have to give an account for your own works! The bible says, “Your works will follow you!" Meaning one day you will die and will have to stand before the Lord and the Books will be opened and you will be judged according to your works! 

For everyone who has will be given more and he will have abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him. And throw that worthless servant outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'  "When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his throne in heavenly glory.

All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.  Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world.

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'  

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'  

"The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.' "Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.  

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' 

 "They also will answer, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.' "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."

                                              Matthew 25:29-46 

If your Pastors grew up and moved into their own ministries and callings so should you! Jesus died for our sins so if you make mistakes so what, We all do,including your Pastors. Staying under someone’s ministry for too long is unacceptable.

This means you are not fully understanding the word of God and do not have a personal relationship with Christ. If you have a personal relationship with Christ you should know how to listen and be lead by Him; you no longer need two instructors.  

Then the word of God goes on to say: so then, we may no longer be CHILDREN, tossed [like ships] to and fro between change gusts of teaching and wavering with every changing wind of doctrine, [the prey of] the cunning and cleverness of unscrupulous men, [gamblers engaged] in every shifting form of trickery in inventing errors to mislead.   

                                         Ephesians 4:14 Amplified Bible 

In other words when is the Body of Christ going to grow up? And the Word goes on to say: But as for you, the anointing (the sacred appointment, the unction) which you received from Him abides [permanently] in you; [so] then you have no need that anyone should instruct you.

But Just as His anointing teaches you concerning everything and is true and is no falsehood, so you must abide in (live in, never depart from) Him [being rooted in Him, knit to Him], Just as [his anointing] has taught you [to do].

And now, little children, abide (live, remain permanently) in Him, so that when He is made visible, we may have and enjoy perfect confidence (boldness, assurance) and not be ashamed and shrink from Him at His coming.  

And the word of God goes on to say:  Concerning this we have much to say which is hard to explain, since you have become dull in your [spiritual] hearing and sluggish [even slothful in achieving spiritual insight]. For even though by this time you ought to be teaching others, you actually need someone to teach you over again the very first principles of God’s word.

You have come to need milk, not solid food. For everyone who continues to feed on milk is obviously inexperienced and unskilled in the doctrine of righteousness (of conformity to the divine will purpose, thought, and action), for he is a mere infant [not able to talk yet]!

But solid food is for full-grown men, for those whose senses and mental faculties are trained by practice to discriminate any distinguish between what is morally good and noble and what is evil and contrary either to divine or human law.  

                                                        Hebrews 5:11-14 

I have found that fear, laziness, unproductiveness, self-righteousness and stagnation keeps Christians stuck in anothers Ministry for years, which, inturn, inhibits them from starting their own ministries or callings. In most cases when Pastors are lazy and unproductive in their ministries, their entire congregation becomes lazy and unproductive in their own ministries as well. 

I have also found that most believers who stay in some ones else’s ministry for years are followers and not leaders. They have no get-up-and-go about themselves when it comes to the work of Christ. They jump when the Pastor says jump and move when the Pastor says move. 

They do not know how to be lead by the Holy Spirit because they do not know the voice of God when He is speaking to them. They so easily get the voice of God twisted with the voice of their Pastors because all they know is the voice of man and not the voice of God.

They forget that God is a Spirit and not a man. When you stay under someone else’s Ministry too long you begin to lose your own identity. You begin to think and act like that person who’s ministry you are under. Christians have the tendency to take their eyes off Christ and focus more on that person on the pulpit.

Spirits transfer one to the other, whose ever ministry you are under for a long period of time you take on that person’s personality and those around you. If a Pastor is in bondage most times his or her entire congregation is in bondage.

If a Pastor does not believe a woman should preach his or her entire congregation believes the same thing. If a Pastor has a problem with the President of the United States his or her congregation has a problem with the President.  

For 36 years I was in bondage because my Pastor was in bondage. I had to leave that  organization to grow and develop into who God was callings me to be! It is unhealthy and unwise to sit under someone’s ministry for years. 

You must learn how to spend quality time under the Ministry of Christ Jesus alone, not man. Why? Because there is no man living that is perfect. I do not care what their titles are or what they call themselves, if they are not Christ they are not perfect. 

In order for growth and development to take place you cannot stay in the same environment, doing the same things, with the same people, year after year!  You must change your environment from time to time and meet new people doing different things.

This is how you grow! The Body of Christ is worldwide; each Church is unique in their own way. This is why it is good to visit other church groups and see what they are doing in their churches. You have Pastors who do not encourage their members to visit other churches because they are afraid they might lose a member. 

Do not give more time and more importance to these Pastors and their ministries and, less time and less importance to Christ. Going to a building to worship with other believers has nothing to do with the quality time you spend alone with Christ in prayer and in His word. 

The more time you spend with Christ the more you become like Him. The more time you spend with Christ the closer you become to Him. The more time you spend with Christ the more familiar you become to His voice when He is speaking to you. The more time you spend with Christ the more mature you become as a Christian. 

It is imperative church, that you know how to distinguish between the voice of Christ  and your Pastors voice. There is a big difference. When the Lord met me on the road of Damascus and blinded me with the light; in other words, the day I met Christ, I had been in a particular church group for 36 years, but I did not know Christ. Neither did I have a personal relationship with Him until I was on that road to Damascus like my Brother Paul. 

It was after I was blinded with the light that the scales fell from my eyes and then I began to see the glory of the Lord. Once the scales had fallen from my eyes, I knew who I was in Christ and immediately I began to witness for Christ, in other words I began to bring forth the good news of Christ. 

It did not take me five, ten, or fifteen years under what someone calls their Spiritual Covering to know who I was in Christ, all it took was that road to Damascus. I have heard church goers brag about how many years they have been under someone’s ministry/covering.

You sound foolish to me, you sound like someone with a learning disability.  How long does it take a Christian to learn how to listen to the voice of God? And, apply the word of God to their lives without someone holding their hands and telling them the same things year after year? It is a shame before God to come to church year after year and do nothing for Him, the devil is a liar!

You have Christians who have a mouth full of Christ and, when you ask them what they are doing for Christ? They look at you as if you have lost your mind! You have Christians who are always asking God to do this for them. But, when it comes to doing something for Christ they turn up their noses and run.

They have no clue who they are in Christ or what their ministries are and, do not want to know. Also, you have Christians who have no clue what their spiritual gifts are  and, they have been under someone’s ministry for years.

My advice for those of you who have no clue who you are in Christ, is that you get on that road to Damascus and find your own identity. It is unacceptable and inexcusable behavior for Christians not to know who they are in Christ and what their spiritual gifts are to edify the Body of Christ. Grow up Church!

Grow up, then we can all go up!  There are Pastors today who do not want their members to grow up, because if their members grew up they fear they would lose their member’s tithes and offerings. This is why the church (The Body of Christ) is not growing because you have Pastors who are more concerned about money than they are about the growth and development of their flock.  

The bible says, once we receive the Holy Ghost we receive Power! The power Christ was talking about means authority to do the works that He did but greater works. You do not receive the Holy Ghost to sit and do nothing. How can you sit on power!

The Prophet Jeremiah said, "It was like fire shut up in his bones!" Like I said earlier fear, laziness, and self righteousness keeps people stuck in someone's ministry for years.  I was called by God to take His Church (The Body of Christ) to a level of Maturity in Him. And, this is what I am going to do. And, this is what my Website is about, Spiritual Maturity.

Who you are or who you think you are does not impress me. Neither does your title because, God holds the highest. When the Holy Spirit called me into ministry He never told me to make friends or lower my standards to accommodate anyone.

I am who I am and, I know who I am in the Lord! And, I know Him who called me. If you cannot handle my bluntness or honesty this website is not for you and you might as well click off my site and find yourself another one to occupy your time.

I was not called to baby this Church and, I do not tolerate foolishness very well.  I have found for some strange reason church goers feel if you do not think the way they think or feel the way they feel or do things the way they would do them, you are out of the will of God.

This spirit is a self-righteous spirit and needs to be put in check. And, I am the one to tell you! We are all individuals, created by God and have the right to be who we are and, do the things that we feel are right.  We are to control and not be controlled. We are to dominant and not be dominated, don’t get it twisted. 

King David said it quite well when he said, “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth; your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.  

                                               Psalms (139:13-16) 

What King David is saying, God created us individually and we have the right to be who we are. In the sight of God who created us we were born to be uniquely different. Self-righteous individuals can be very controlling and dominating. It’s their way or no way.

If you notice, they are the most critical individuals within the Body of Christ. Most of them have nothing better to do but sit in the judgment seat. They cannot move forward in their own ministries because they are so busy judging others.   

Mature Christians run from individuals like these. Self-righteous people keep you in bondage. They hinder your growth and development. They keep you stuck and confused. I was called by God to break this yoke and set you free Amen. Christ created us to be ourselves, choice started in the Garden of Eden.

The tree of good and evil was planted in the garden before man was created. If the tree was already there evil had already existed. God created evil so we could make individual choices. God knew the imperfection of man before He created us.

God did not create us to be perfect. If He created us to be perfect the human race would not need Him. God also knew Satan because He created Satan. God knew from the beginning that Satan would temp Eve and she would choose evil over good.

God knew Cain would kill Able his brother. Like mother like son they  chose to do wrong, man was not perfect from the beginning.  Did God kill them or condemn them to hell? No He did not. Why? Because the tree of life was also present in the Garden of Eden when God created man.

Salvation existed before Evil was created Amen.  If there was no evil there would not be a need for salvation. God is Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient. How would we know that God exists unless we experienced trouble in our lives?

It is imperative that Satan (evil) exist. God uses Satan to keep us in check.  Going to someone’s business /place of worship every Sunday will never make you perfect. Maybe self-righteous, but not perfect.

I have found that so called Christians will spend hours writing hateful emails and letters to individuals but would not spend thirty minutes in prayer or in the word alone with God. This says a lot about your character as a Christian. Let me say this, a true Prophet is hardly ever intimidated by words or looks. 

I am going to do what the Holy Spirit has called me do and say what the Holy Spirit has instructed me to say and there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.  So do not think twice about emailing, writing, or calling me with your patronizing comments or complaints.

That is why Pastors are placed inside the churches, to hear babies wine and complain. Prophetess Roberts is not the one! The Lord told Abram that He would bless those who bless him and curse those who curse him and I say the same thing.

If you curse me it will return to you sevenfold.  If you have a problem with Prophetess Roberts or any other Prophet my suggestion is that you take us to the Lord in prayer and allow the Holy Spirit to deal with us. God has His own way of dealing with His Servants.

The word of God says, “Touch not my anointed and do my Prophets no harm.” And I fall into that category! When the Prophet Elisha was on his way to Bethel minding his own business doing what the Holy Spirit had called him to do there were children who mocked him.

You see my Sisters and Brothers in the Lord. Prophets can be short tempered. The Prophet Elisha turned to the children and cursed them. I told you we do not tolerate foolishness very well.   

He went up to Bethel, on the way, young [maturing and accountable] boys came out of the city and mocked him and said to him, Go up [in a whirlwind], you baldheaded! Go up, you baldheaded! And he turned around and looked at them and called a curse down on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the woods and ripped up forty-two of the boys. Elisha went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.  

                                                         2 King (2:23-25) 

It takes a Prophet to understand another Prophet’s burden. It is no joke. The Prophet Elisha cursed the kids and continued on his journey and did not think twice about it. A Prophet’s call is a very serious call and a heavy burden.  

Now, after saying what I felt I needed to say, if you would like to continue on my website expect to feel some discomfort, it could be change taking place, acknowledgment and then acceptance. Like I said early, my website is about Spiritual Maturity, Growth and Development. 

When you begin to feel like this, this is the time you need to be alone in the word and in prayer. While you are in this state of change you need to be quiet with little or no distractions. Do not go around asking questions trying to find solutions.

Do not write me, listen to the voice of the Lord and your answers will come. While you are spending time alone with God, keep a pad and pencil handy. Write on the pad the date, where you were, and  when the Holy Spirit spoke to you. He has a word for you if you would be still long enough to listen.

The Holy Spirit loves to talk.  How will you know if the Holy Spirit  was speaking to you? God speaks to your mind and heart. He speaks with wisdom and understanding. His voice is soft and calm. Whenever the Holy Spirit speaks He confirms it with His word (the bible) or a vision, or a message from another source. 

Example: The Lord has been dealing with me concerning the Jacksonville Port authority and the law of the beast. He led me to read about Joseph being at the right place at the right time. The next morning when I got into my car a preacher was on the radio preaching about Joseph and how he was placed in the right place at the right time.
