  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

But Moses replied, “Are you jealous on my account? I wish that all the LORD’s people were prophets and that the LORD would place His Spirit on them!” Numbers 11:29 (BSB)

‘In the last days, God says,
I will pour out My Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on My menservants and maidservants
I will pour out My Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy. Acts 2:17-18 (BSB)

If there is a prophet among you,
I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision;
I will speak to him in a dream. Numbers 12:6 (BSB)

In this time of extreme division amongst entire societies and even in the church, Lord may you pour out your Spirit again upon your people that we may prophecy in Your Holy Name!

Be long-suffering, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the Farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being long-suffering over it until it receives the early and the latter rain. Therefore you be long-suffering also. Firmly establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn near. (James 5:7-8)

apparently james was talking about the Holy Spirit raining down during pentecost for the early rain. And the latter rain of the Holy Spirit is yet to come before the day of the Lord as the "latter rain." And its mentioned in joel somewhere, the early and latter rain. But yeah sorry to bother you. :peace:
