Hello,
If it is not your prophecy, in that case please write the name of the person you can quoting from.
Frankly, I do not like how some people "channel" God, e.g. Person stands up and says " I AM THE LORD- HEAR ME NOW!!!! etc..." Why? Because somehow I feel that the person, if not genuine, is masquarading as God. That is a very serious charge. Such people are an affront to God and cause non-believers to mock Christianity.
Often the prophecies are quotes taken from the Bible. I mean anyone can fabricate them and stand up in church and shout "IAMTHELORD and quote parts from Genesis, Revelation etc.." Prophecies are suppose to edify the church to build it up. I hear it but I sometimes see a human being taking God's place. And honestly I think that some people are using it improperly.
I hope many of you can remember the same "prophets" who warned us of the Y2k (year 2000) bug and told us to hoard gold and food and prepare etc..
They made the name of God and his people a laughing stock in this world.
I would be more charitable if these "prophets" repented and said no more but often they vaunt off to another "prophecy" or hot topic.
If the prophecy builds up the church making them stronger to help the world, evangalize, the sick, the homeless, be humble, be united in the faith - good. But if they cower our people into fear, into "crisis" moods..... I'd be a little bit more wary about the person who claims to be a prophet.

This is a prophecy from another believer that I felt should be posted here. It does ring true in my spirit that it is from the Lord.
