God is a Pittsburgh Steelers fan

I thought this hilarious, as my husband is a huge Steelers fan, and could have told you that they always have been God’s Own Team. I am sure others here could also do with a good laugh so share it with you. Apparently, God loves the Steelers so much he even named Heinz Field with his ‘eternal purposes’ in mind. And those eternal purposes? A bland and ridiculous prophecy, see below, from Bill Yount of Blowing the Shofar Ministries.  Of course, many Steelers fans could tell you that Heinz Field is really named after one of its star players, Heinz Ward!

I wrote before in another post, ‘The real call to the Laodicean church’, to ‘do not despise prophecy or treat it with contempt…’  but people like Bill Yount make it very difficult for the normal church not to despise prophecy if this is the diet they are getting fed with day after day. Bland insipid stuff that is not prophetic, but is called prophetic – silly actions labelled prophetic when they are not, or blatantly false words and even ludicrous stuff like this …. well, surely even the neo prophets themselves are tired of this rubbish, I know I certainly am. Just like pastor to the false prophets, Mike Bickle, said to this effect, ‘I have only ever really cherished a handful out of the thousands of prophecies I have ever heard.’  There you go, you have heard it from the horse’s mouth himself - even he finds it contemptious and prophecy is his business – literally. Is this any wonder Mike Bickle, when rubbish like this is passed fit for public distribution and is called prophetic and you refuse to demand proper accountability from your own prophets? It reminds me of the infamous anointed candy bar prophecy that others have mocked on some blogs, and deservedly so, that was posted on the false prophet’s favourite money spinner, The Elijah List run by Steve Schulz. Its author? Bill Yount again!

‘Prophet’ Bill Yount said of the Steelers stadium:

‘HEINZ FIELD REMINDS ME OF ‘HEINZ 57 VARIETY’!

‘I believe God named this new stadium Heinz Field with His eternal purposes in mind. It is interesting that the Heinz Company originally chose the number 57 to advertise the variety of their products. Through time they have increased that number to over one thousand products but they still choose to keep the number 57 to advertise. Five means ‘grace’ and seven means ‘to perfect’. I believe ‘Heinz 57 variety’ is the key to the kingdom of God in this city and others. God loves variety in His kingdom and especially as different streams of ministries, and denominations come together to worship. We may have our favorite style of worship but God’s specialty I sense is the variety of it all being different. I think that’s why He never gets bored like we do! I believe when it comes to different worship styles God says, “It’s all good!” I see the Heinz Stadium overflowing with a variety of worshipers from all kinds of denominations as God shouts..”Every style of worship with its music is My favorite when it’s unto Me! You have My grace and I am perfecting you through love.”‘

The Candy Bar Prophecy made in 2004

“For those who think this word may be ‘way out there’…remember God is way out there! ….I sense the Lord is not only beginning to clean up the media and secular businesses, but He will actually begin to prophesy through them…..Have you seen the commercial on television that has the cargo plane passing over and dumping money on the city, a little girl’s birthday party, etc? I sense the Lord saying, ‘It is time to dispatch those who work in my cargo section to fill the plane to full capacity to begin dumping my blessings upon the earth, cities, and even little children’s birthday parties!’ …Another commercial that has been popular for some time is the one about the cell phone…’Can you hear me now?’ (God) ….I sense the Father saying, ‘I will begin to meddle in the candy industry.’ I sense the Lord is going to begin to name some new candy bars. When these are named they will release a prophetic anointing every time the name of the candy is mentioned. These names will have power to call forth life and salvation. I am sure this prophetic candy is bound to have a heavenly taste to it that will be out of this world! People will end up tasting and seeing that the Lord is good! I saw angels anointing candy bar wrappers like God anointing prayer cloths of Apostle Paul. Names on popular candy wrappers will speak prophetically to whomever reads or speaks their names. Candy wrappers will become like anointed prayer cloths throughout the land. Already, God has named a few candy bars in the past, speaking — unknown — to the world. One, I sense, is called the ‘Milky Way’ candy bar…’The heavens declare the Glory of God!’ Another is ‘Symphony’ by Hershey…’Calling forth harmony and unity into the Body of Christ through God’s divine order.’ ….Concerning clothing, I sense the Lord is redeeming now the name of ‘Levi’s’…a trademark name for denim jeans and trousers. I sense a prophetic anointing is being imparted to this clothing line. The name of these jeans will begin to call forth the ’spiritual’ Levites this hour who are chosen to assist the Temple priests…the building of God’s House. This line of clothing will be tailor made to fit these ones God will call into His Kingdom! Another popular name I sense being anointed prophetically in the clothing line of jeans is ‘Wrangler.’ A wrangler is one who wrangles. ‘Wrangle’ means to ‘dispute noisily or angrily; to quarrel.’ I sense the Lord anointing ‘wrangler’ clothing to tame the tongues and lasso a new breed of young men and women who will have the ‘tongue of the learned to know how to speak a word to those who are weary.’

The Hollywood Prophecy

“Enough is enough!” came the cry from unknown sources to the enemy. A shout unlike any other began to penetrate movie cameras, actors, directors and producers. Was the pendulum beginning to finally swing in the opposite direction from hell itself? The cry grew louder, “Heaven wants Hollywood!” Angels “unaware” would infiltrate certain scenes that had crowds of people in them. After some takes of these scenes the crowd on camera would appear larger in numbers but for some reason many producers felt peace about it and would let it go. As the movie was released so would an impartation of divine power flow out of the screen during these certain scenes as conviction and repentance would pierce hearts.

Some stars’ look-a-like stand-ins would sometimes be “only Heaven knows who!” It seemed a season was now starting and calling for supernatural intervention in Hollywood’s entertainment and movie industry. Angels were responding to that call as violent intercession was causing the “Bright and Morning Star” to rise over Hollywood.

The only thing I can agree on is “Enough is enough!”  Please Bill Yount, step down already! Hmm, I am actually getting a word now about the neo prophets myself ….I consider myself rather an expert on candy so here goes -

Snickers – has nuts in it, says you guys are nuts
Fruit and Nut - says you guys are both fruity and nutty
Galaxy – smooth and rich
Maltesers – light and air headed
Toblerone – nicely packaged but far too expensive
Guilane – looks nice but no substance – a rip off
Flake – self explanatory
Bournville Deeply Dark – the real source behind you guys
Swizzles – exactly
Allsorts – lacks discernment
Jelly Babies – we like to bite the head off our critics
Smarties – if only you were smart and knew your Bible
Quality Street - Ministers will live in one qaulity street because you give us  your money as we sell you prophecy and merchandise the gospel to you
Chocolate in general – is addictive and makes you fat and lazy

And remember this too – chocolate tastes nice but is bad for you!
