Robert Lowery

One of my colleagues received a message from the Lord via one of our former seminary students:

The Lord said concerning Dr. Lowery that he is constantly receiving the glory that belongs to Him and that is why He will increase his infirmity. That dust he will come, dust he will go. He needs to repent. . . . I reluctantly did not want to deliver this message because I know that you and your colleagues might not receive this message, but I am doing this now because . . . as I go on my knees to pray, these words of the Lord are still heavy upon my heart. The Lord constantly asked me to deliver this message to you and this is why I am doing it right now to be free of any guilt. . . . If you and your colleagues have any questions regarding this message, I advise you to direct it to God for I am just the messenger and I do not have any answer.

In the last several months I have received many messages, but never one directly from the Lord via a self-styled prophet. I have received words of encouragement, challenges to examine my walk with the Lord, written prayers, and even counsel concerning remedies for the cancer.

Is this truly a message from the Lord? When I had the word passed on to me, I recalled I Thessalonians 5:19 where Paul writes: “Do not put out the Spirit’s fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good. Avoid every kind of evil.” The context clearly indicates that we must discern any prophetic messages and accept the good and reject the evil.”

I have concluded that the message is an evil word from a false prophet.

Colleagues and friends–

I went to see my oncologist Thursday, June 17, after having had a scan earlier in week. The scan showed no new growth of additional tumors and no growth of the tumors already there. My doctor told us that given the kind of cancer I have, it was a delight for her to share with us that the cancer has not advanced in the last three months. She said this is quite remarkable. Praise the Lord! Of course, this does not mean that I am cancer-free, but at least it appears as if the current treatments are having some benefits. Her recommendation is that I continue taking the special cancer medication, continue getting a monthly injection to help minimize the symptoms, continue getting sufficient rest, and continue to monitor what I eat and drink. The key word that the doctor kept repeating is that I am currently stable. (For anyone in the Lowery family to be stable is quite remarkable!)

She encouraged me to do what I love to do: teaching, preaching, writing, mentoring students, spending time with family and friends, and in her words, “enjoying God’s goodness.”

Please join us in praising God for this respite, no matter how long it lasts. We thank you for being on this journey with us.
