GOOD STONE(S) PT4: the 12 Prophetic kinds of stones and their value/relevance.

Before we drive home to the conclusion of this series, read below the introduction to the conclusion.

This is what i consider another dimension to the challenges faced being stoned for Doing Good; why i said it is prophetic they throw stones at you because the stone(s) would have possibly be targeted or unleashed at your innocent offsprings (biological or even spiritual). Secondly, the enemy enters many of this folks to throw stones, i.e (Saul who later became Paul authorized, supervised and executed Steven by stones was later converted and transformed from his over zealousness religious fronts and extremism).

Simply permit the eternal Spirit of God to open the very eyes of your understanding, and then you will realize why Jesus had to rebuke Satan who took advantage of Peter's vulnerable state and why He had to cast the devil out of Peter “get thee behind me Satan”. It is not quite easy to cope with such people, but then grace is released to enable us stay off hurting and regret lanes when we are stoned from the same "household" that we called to do good to.

So, when next you are stoned for doing good, evaluate your actions even reactions, once you are in the order of God for your life in doing that; amplify the good deeds and trust God to enhance your space of goodness to all.  It simply means, your conscience is prophetic and not sympathetic and that means you are doing well, continue in well doing.

These guys are fond of stoning; driven by the spirit of extreme legalism and Judaism to fight the will of God. They fought the prophets and killed God’s anointed for bringing salvation and righteousness to them. There are tribes and places where you will be resisted for bringing developmental projects to their poor villages even here in Nigeria. The people there will resist you with all force within reach. The reason is, it is against their religion, ethnic covenants and ideologies. 

The patriarch Apostle Steven was stoned, not for fraud, stealing, womanizing, bad ganging/association etc, but for doing good (bringing the Gospel of life and light to the people) an act of righteousness and good deed and bringing men to God and the ways of God.

The 12 Prophetic kinds of stones and what they represent.

1.     The stone of death: stop killing your prophets; with this kind of stone, heaven is saying to someone reading here to stop the attack on God’s prophets and anointed one. The things you do and say against your Pastor applies as the stone of death. This is a proof of the account of the Apostle Steven in Acts 7: 57-60; then they cried out with a loud voice, and stopped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord, And cast him out of the city, and stoned him: and the witnesses laid down their clothes at a young man's feet, whose name was Saul. And they stoned Stephen, calling upon God, and saying, Lord Jesus, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. I pray for you that the stone in your hearts and hands shall not be that of death in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.

2.     The stone of Accusations and Condemnation: stop religion and extremism; religion and legalism pressured them to front litigation's against a woman whose name was unknown or withheld but was said to be the woman caught in the act. John 8:3-10 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

     The interesting thing about this kind of stone is that it makes you stronger at the end of the litigations. Believe me, this kind of stone should not be found with those God by His Spirit revealed to me as Christian Believers (1 Peter 2:9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called with proof of Galatians 5:22-23 manifest in them cheaply as a way of life). Accusation and Condemnation is very common and cheaply dispensed amongst Religious Christians and never in the life of Christian Believers whose nature and culture I have described above and as expressed and exemplified by our Lord when that woman was brought to Him. First, to those who are born again of the eternal Spirit of God, choose where you belong.

3. The stone of Support and Victory: Exodus 17:12 “But Moses' hands were heavy; and they took a stone, and put it under him, and he sat thereon; and Aaron and Hur stayed up his hands, the one on the one side, and the other on the other side; and his hands were steady until the going down of the sun.” Given the pain that comes with seating, standing or engaging stones as a means of comfort, it becomes difficult to ever want to consider the use of stones for support or leisure; I mean you cannot make use of it for comfort even for a long time. The experience of Jacob was also prophetic as it serves as Pillow for him at the place of encounter; the deal here is the condition of the heart. 

    When the heart of a man is harden like stone to God and his fellow man, what became comfort for Jacob and serves as support for Moses through Aaron and Hur will be like brimstone and fir to him. Was it not the same value of stone they tried using to stone the same Moses to death for leading them in the will of God? Here is the same stone used by Aaron and Hur as prophetic and economic means of support and victory for the man of God (Moses) and his ministry. Just like the same privileges and platforms others engaged in our modern day economy to criticize, badmouth and insult God’s anointed; others are economically and prophetically engaging to support minsters and ministries towards victory. 

4.    The stone of barriers and limitations: it was customary to those who installed the stone at the tomb of Jesus and that of Lazarus to have done so as a means of security and to safely block or barrier anyone who may want to gain access to the corpse however especially in the case of our Lord given His proclaimed resurrection which eventually took place. But then Angels came to roll away the stone Matthew 28:2; Behold, there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord descended from the sky, and came and rolled away the stone from the door, and sat on it.

    In Lazarus’s case, our Lord Himself commanded the removal of the obstacle to Lazarus’ emergence to life and He said to them, roll away the stone Luke 16:3-4 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it. Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. John 11: 38-39. In this rhematic piece of mine, this kind of stone is categorized as the limiting walls and obstacles to a believer’s next level, resurrection and prophetic destiny experience and fulfillment. If you are faced with any barriers hindering your rise, it is hereby removed for you to Passover now. I decree be rolled out supernaturally from and out of your life in the name of Jesus Christ Amen. 

5.  The image of stone: Leviticus 26:1 this reveals the occupancy of stones (material things and blessings) in the place and position where God should inhabits. “Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.” The state when God said to them that the heart of the people are turned away from righteousness, having the heart of stone; a state where stiff-necked heart condition is mismanaged to sooth rebellion. When the thing in the heart of man becomes his idol, his hands will do evil. 

    God is saying, come I will give you the heart of flesh in place of the heart of stone Ezekiel 36:26; A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you. Circumcising the system of the mind to serve the living God is the same as switching from a weak economy to a better and vibrant one. It is also like converting the stony heart to a more profiting value and use. This is what God is saying to someone here reading, do not chock the habitation of God with mundane and disdains beliefs and ideologies. The stony heart can be good (good stones) if you allow God to enable you by His eternal Spirit make that prophetic switch now and I pray for you to receive that ability now in Jesus name Amen.
