So um..... yea. Ive been...um.....something happened and I don't know how to describe it. I just sat down at my computer and started typing out a letter.....to myself.....from god.... Ive never done anything like this, I mean, I grew up baptist, Ive never even seen real prophesy, I don't know what it looks like. there is no way I sat there and wrote out a prophesy, is that... possible? I don't know whats happening, has this happened to anyone else? have you ever had a prophesy given to yourself from yourself? I.... I don't even know what I'm doing right now. I'm not going to share it but I guess it will be validiated tomorrow as I felt prompted to write this line.

Keep writing. Nothing else to do you must see me and seek me, miraclas things will happen tomorrow and by that you will know this is true. Follow my lead, and I will guide you, follow me and I will give you the good desires of your heart. Love me and I will also love you and hold you my child.


-----------------------------------------------------


I'm getting a little scared, because I don't know if its god or me, I don't know and as much as I want these to be real manifestations of god...... what if its just me. WHAT IF ITS JUST ME. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

God is always speaking to us. I grew up Baptist too so I can understand the trepidation.

Sounds good to me.

The key is not to interpret what you "typed". You may think that "miracles tomorrow" means you are going to see a dead man rise. But it may in fact mean something else. My problem when I first started receiving words like the one you received was I would interpret it for myself and then when it didn't happen as I thought it would I would immediately doubt the accuracy of the word.

Don't do that.

Thank God for his word, ask him for wisdom in understanding, and keep listening.

John 10: 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.


It is the most natural thing in the world for God's children to hear His voice.

Keep it up! :thumbsup:

Also I might point out, that when God speaks to you personally that is not *technically* considered prophecy. Usually prophecy is when He gives one person a message that He expects them to deliver word for word to another person.

There are different variations on this gift (of hearing from God). The most popular would probably be the Gift of Teaching, where a preacher hears something that God wants to speak to the congregation, and then delivers the message in his own words, expounding on what was *heard* with what he knows from the scriptures. There are quite a number of the Gifts of the Spirit, along with ministry gifts, that all depend upon us knowing how to discern the Voice of the Holy Spirit.

So yeah, it sounds like you are getting started. :cool:

Please don't think that these few steps that you've taken are all there is to being a Prophet of God. There is much more to learn (usually), before ever stepping out in faith and sharing your ability to hear God's voice with other people. Fist you might want to make sure for yourself whether or not it is God, and how ti recognize the voice of the enemy in case he tries to step in and say something.

One basic principle of Christianity is that those with experience are supposed to help those just starting out. Prophecy is no different. Prophecy is basically just those who have learned to hear His voice, helping others along who are not that good at it yet. Which is probably something you could stand to have some help with at this time.

In a proper church setting, anyone like yourself should be able to take the message he's received from the Lord and run it by an experienced prophet, to see if it is genuine. This is the job of prophets, according to scripture. Paul wrote: "Let two or three prophets speak, and the rest judge." Prophets of all people, know how to judge prophecy! This comes from years and years of hearing the voice of God. We learn from experience, and part of that includes making mistakes. We have to be willing to make a mistake or two when we learn how to follow God's voice, or we can't really step out in faith correctly and do it.

Biblical condemnation for false prophets has to do with those who would stand up before the people and claim that "God has said..." When in fact, God never said that. We have people today by the millions doing just that, claiming that they know God's will because they imagine themselves as Masters of the Bible. These are today's False Prophets... speaking "The word of the Lord" which isn't His word at all!

The act of condemning every single living prophet is a trait of the Pharisees. They honored the dead prophets, while persecuting anyone alive who would dare to speak on behalf of God. The same situation seems to be here again today. God speaks to people, just like we see recorded ALL throughout the Bible, and people say "That is not of God!!!" (What kind of fancy twist do they put on the scriptures to get THAT idea from reading the Bible????)

God speaks to people. Period. That is what the Bible teaches us.


Anyway, God Bless. :cool:

Ok then, so how do I learn to hear better? Because I WANT to hear better, and I want to differentiate between god, myself, and anything else trying to butt in. I don't really have a church that is down with that, in my area you pretty much have baptist churches (what I grew up as) and people so freaking crazy that you don't want to touch them with a 50ft pole because they will trample the scriptures as long as they get some sort of "experince"

Trust God. That's the only way. If He's the one leading you down this path, then He knows what He's doing. He can lead you to the right group of people, or He can just keep you to Himself and let the Holy Spirit be your guide.


Over the years there has been some animosity between the "Baptist" type of churches and the "Pentecostal" ones. So what you've heard about other churches in you area might be exaggerated. (Or, it might be true!) But if you look for a church or a Bible study (or even an online group), pray first and keep your focus on Jesus. You can tell if the other people are looking for the Spirit of Truth, or for their own ambitions to be fulfilled.

I'm getting a little scared, because I don't know if its god or me, I don't know and as much as I want these to be real manifestations of god...... what if its just me. WHAT IF ITS JUST ME. I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

Hi,
Once that happened to me, but it was not prophetic. It was not. It was that I was writing things about God, and it bothered me. One day soon, with those experiences, I told God in my prayers really, that I refuse to do this anymore, until He proves to me this is Him.
My proof came. I continued to write. Yet, all that I wrote was not for others, no one could understand it. Over the years, God constanly told me to destroy all I wrote. I didn't in one case. I gave that information to someone else. Feeling entirely bad about that, on day, I told God, if that man, comes over to me, I wil tell him to destroy all that I gave to him. He did, the man came over. I asked him. "Did God tell you to come over here?" He said yes. I then told him what he is to do, and how, as what this was all written in was in notes, in a Bible. So, the destruction of that, has to be done in a holy way.
Eventually writing and all things like that ended. The purpose for each of those things, seemed to be two fold. One is to learn about God. I will talk about that. Each item taught me some Biblical Truth, through experience. I also later suspected that I can only learn accurately, through experience, and by SEEing. Experience is SEEing in a form also.
So, those things might be true, and if they are not, asking God to verify them as I did really will make the difference. Only please rememer that God in Prophecy, issues the form of exactness in timing and in the details. That descripton of Prophecy, is found in Deuteronomy 18. It is near the end, like in 18:20.
Now, for another item, in my life, God really, was given a task. It was either to cause something hard to happen, and in a specific time limit, or to not do that. The priest, who is old, gave me a Fleece Type of Test. When I reported in to him, with the results, they were precise, in timing and in the details. Now, part of those results, had to be from a person, who I did not know. My objection, to his pronouncement, was that I knew this person's name. I told him that. I told him that when he heard the timing of my answer, and issued a statement in pleasure maybe. "Oh The timing." I was so convinced he had made up his mind on that alone, that I started to interrupt him and did. "Wait. Wait. There is more. I know this person's name." (I was going to find out six years later, that you can totally know a person's name, and stil know nothing about them.). When I had finished. This priest, a spiritual director, never looked up at me once. His head is still down. It is like I am in a confessional. He is looking down and sideways. He responds "I do this for a living. This is The Holy Spirit" In six years, I would understand why he was right. But it took six years, before, I knew why he was right. Even knowing one day, that The Holy Spirit talks to him frequently, did not help me. It was only when I learned about true Narcisism, that I and the person I talked to one day, neiter of us ever knew her. No one does. She gives a totally made up story, and a different one, to everyone in her life. I never knew her. Her daughter who I was talking to, never knew her. Her parents never knew her. No one that we know of knows her.
God, will give you a way, to know if your sitituation is true, if it is God. If it is not, you will get a different and maybe an approxiamte answer, but it will not fulfill what Moses said in Deuteronomy 18:20 or so. It will have errors, in timing, or content.
LOVE,
...Katherina., .... .

Just from your first revelation it sounds like automatic writing by a spirit entity that is not God.

It could be a demon, but they prefer the generic name of controlling spirit.

I doubt if it is the Holy Spirit due to all of the commands and using the word love is a real hook the voices that you don't have yet use.

Sometimes they will start with your toes getting you to answer them with a quick one click of you finger and then they have you.

The word tomorrow is also a hook.

Try to ignore the leaning toward prophesy in a letter written by yourself.

Good luck I'm praying for you to escape any vanity caused by a religious spirit.

As for hearing God, it is one of the hardest things to do as a Christian. I have heard God many times, but I often don't know it was God until it comes to pass after. When I first started out trying to hear from God I would just accept every thing as coming from God, this left me open to listening to incorrect voices. It is my experience that all voices you hear in the Spirit realm sound identical, they sound like your own thoughts, or very similar to them. The problem with this, is that a word you receive can be a) From your self, b) from God, c) from a devil, and there is no way to distinguish.

What I started to do was, ask God for things that could honor him, but not put me in a risky situation, where I was open to hear something wrong.

He started to tell me future events, things that came to pass, and honored God. But I never know before hand if it was God.

Some other people may have increased their faith, to know God's voice, and trust it. Another area that I trust God's voice is when I am preparing a bible message I ask God for a picture, a parable if you like, to back up the word from the bible he is giving. I have learned to trust God in this area, because it is a safe place for me. It does not put me under any strain spiritually.

Just pray that God will begin to use the gift in ways that you feel safe, ways that will hurt no one. Be careful if you get a judgmental word for some one. I once had a person ask me the question was I a homosexual, believing God had told them this, I have never been a homosexual, so just be careful.

I look at it this way, the bible says we can pray for the sick and see them healed, I pray for the sick and see some healed, but not every demand "I" make for healing has been met. I don't believe even though we can prophecy, or can pray for the sick, that every demand we make, has to be met. A demand needs not be met, it is often needs that are met not demands.

Well, I heard that from people who believe in speaking in tongues and prophesy and all that kind of stuff, so, thats why I trust them. Plus most of them in my experience think if your not speaking in tongues you arn't christian, which is a HUGE hearsay.

Just from your first revelation it sounds like automatic writing by a spirit entity that is not God.

I'm pretty sure its not a demon. The overlaying thought process was that I need to seek god more, and not fall into false teaching but hold tight to his word. If a demon is telling me to get closer to god then I don't know what to make of THAT lol.

That little bit I posted was just a small portion of what I wrote out.

I don't conider myself to be very vain at all, or "relgious". I'm constantly confounded that god would ever call me to ministry, but I'm just trying to do what he tells me. I wish I could hear him clearer so i could better serve him, maybe thats all this is. Ive never really "moved" in the spiritual gifts and that may be why this whole thing is very weird to me, because I simply don't know whats "right" and whats "wrong" because from the outside in much of the time they look the same. I attempted to pray in tongues some to, I honestly don't know if its real when I do that or just me making stuff up, it feels.......something..... when I do it. I don't know how to describe it. Like I need to get something out. Sometimes I walk around my house just pacing and "meditate" on the word of god, or rather, i hash through stuff. I learn in a very WEIRD way, doesn't matter if its religious in nature or musical or what, I pretend I'm teaching someone else. For example if I'm trying to teach myself to ollie on a skateboard in my head I pretend I'm explaining it so someone else. When I'm mediating on the word much of the time I'm speaking to someone, and as I am god just gives me truth that sometimes just stops me in my tracks where I'm like "i never looked at it like that". I always use scripture and spend a good amount of time in it. When this happens sometimes I don't know how to describe it other than I feel...full. LIke I feel like I'm going to pop, like my whole body is just going to explode. Sometimes I will attempt to pray in tongues (like I said, I don't know if its real or not) because it seems to "release" some of the pressure, like I feel it leaving through my mouth somewhat. Its hard to describe. Or, in the case of yesterday, I sat down and just started writting, I wasn't even planing to write something like that I was planning to write some convictions I wanted to be able to look back on x years from now and hold onto as I move into ministry (mainly to remind myself how I had been hurt by various churchs and how the church asctually was a major stumbling block to me seeking god and how I don't want to do that to others) but instead this other stuff just started coming. So I wrote it down, and again, and again, and just kept writting. Lol every time I was about stop I felt like I was told "keep writing" so if you were to read the whole thing randomly in it you see the wrods "keep writing" because I didn't know if I should put it there or not.

The problem is I"m trying to learn to move and be prompted by god, but I don't have people around me to help me and guide me. I don't know if these things are normal or deadly wrong and should be never done at all. I would post the thing I wrote here but some of it is kinda personal, very much directed at me.

also I just wanted to add, so far , nothing miraclalas has happened. I mean it was a GOOD service, god showed up and really moved and I wasn't the only one who felt it because some other people nearby remarked about it. It was amazing, I felt like parts of the sermon were directed right at me (and Ive just been visiting, never meet the pastor). At the alter call you could tell the people were like a faimly wanting to help each other in god through the hard times of life and not just because it "was the thing to do" like so many churches. I truely felt like the spirit was moving, but its been like that at most of the services there, just more prononced this time. Nothing happened I would regard as "maraculas" (spelling?). I'm giving it to tomorrow because I'm PRETTY sure it was after midnight that I wrote that so TECHINCALLY tomorrow was not today, but monday. But thats its, day isn't over yet either. I'll keep my eyes open but if nothing happens nothing happens, and I will learn from it and not do it again and throw it out, cause to be honest I kinda want to due to some of the stuff said.

Hi,
Yes trust God sounds correct. For you to say God talked to you, if it turns out He did, then He did. Also, yes you will seem like a freak to a lot of people. I am. Yet, one day, after essentially being hurt by this for years, I am telling a professionas Psychologist, my entire life. I was certain, I was going to be locked up for being Schizohrenic. Yet your question is: How do you know?
It is a multiple set of ways. And the way is different from year to year, and I don't know why. Also, I only get things from God, for others, usually. Once it was things entirely for me, but even those have helped others. When this thing first started happening, I decided not to look nor to want it, that way, the evil guys could not talk to me so easily, and once they did for 18 months. It took that long to get rid of them, but I learned much in that experience.
At first, it started with feelings, that were more than feelings. Then it went to the writing phase, then it went to real prohecy, then it went to the more general form of prophecy. That all faded, to zero. Each time a thing from God was no longer there, I just stopped. Yet, the methods God uses with me, from person to help, to person to help, varies in time. Yet, God always gives me corroborations, but usually later, that anything of this kind of thing is from Him.
What I generally do, is ask God not to let me be deceived. I also almost never tell anybody, in those days not now, that I am getting anything from God. Now, occasionally, things will happen right in front of people, but I am never ever certain, and have to wade my way through uncertainty, doubt, and the very real possibliity that I am being decieved, or just listening to myself, or they made a mistake, and I really am suffering from a mental illness.
It's just hard work. It is always for someone else. Sorry, I mistated that earlier. Yet, I get wonderful things about God, from having God put into me things, for each thing He wants me to work on. Then it is gone.
All things leave, because I must never confuse my real self, from a gift. Occasionally, I think I am wonderful. That is wrong. The Bible tells me who I am. It tells me what my mind does from morning till night. Yet, when I have been in the past, and even now worked for God, in me is put things, for that task, and they are all good, and all beautiful. When the job or jobs is over, so depart the gifts, and I am left with the memory. The gifts are not me. I am just like every other person out there, who deserves Hell, but for some reason, God seems to use me anyway, which scares the daylights out of me, because I think He is wrong on this. I don't think I am salvageable. When I use gifts too long, I think I am the gift, and I am good, when my Bible says only God is Good. So, that is what I use, to handle, the gifts being taken away, after I have used them, for....others.
I have seen people go from agnostic, to Christian. I have seen one go from, not ever letting anyone talk about Jesus, to saying to me even, before you (with gifts) I would never let a person use the word Jesus so much in front of me. Yet, each time, I start finding out even, a gift in me, I know then that God is going to take it away. In my case this is made, ever so much easier, because God assigns to me, the person to get the gift next.
I hope this helps a little. And yes, there are few like me, who have been Blessed so by God, and I have much experience. You asked, as so I have given you really, what the man said. Trust God.
LOVE (A gift I had once in full force. Now, this is just the memory and remnants of that in me. I really liked that tool, to help others, and to understand, a single question.),
...Katherina., .... .

So um..... yea. Ive been...um.....something happened and I don't know how to describe it. I just sat down at my computer and started typing out a letter.....to myself.....from god....

I read through all the replies, and I think that there is a lack of knowledge of the New Covenant and the ministry of New Testament prophecy.

I viewed what you wrote, and I saw that it was totally consistent with God's Word and the way He relates to us. That is my judgement of your prophetic writing, because that is what it was.

It could not be automatic writing as one person has said because automatic writing is having the mind blank and writing anything that comes whether it makes sense or not. What you did was to think carefully as you wrote, using your intellect and writing the thoughts that came to your mind. Automatic writing shuts off the logical mind. Prophetic writing uses the mind. Remember the voice of the Holy Spirit sounds in your mind just like your own thoughts. The rule is, do the thoughts line up with the Word of God?

The teaching about false prophets being condemned comes from Old Covenant thinking. Everything has changed in the New Covenant, so that that person who spoke about false prophets was not writing from the New Covenant perspective, and therefore does not apply to you.

Sure, the devil can do the same thing, and his words sound just like your thoughts as well, so you cannot make a judgement based on that. The only standard is the New Testament. Does your prophetic writing line up with it? If it does, then you can have confidence that what you wrote was truly prophetic. It was a personal encouragement to you to trust God for your life and accept His guidance. The devil will never say those things. The devil will try to get you to have confidence in yourself, or in others, in place of God.

I hope that this is an encouragement to you.

Also, you might want to start a notebook or word file to keep these type of notes, dreams, visions, etc Might want to include info such as the date, where you were, etc. Make a note of any questions or concerns and date those as well. Sometimes it takes awhile to "see" these things.

Your faith sounds ver similar to my own.

I attempted to pray in tongues some to, I honestly don't know if its real when I do that or just me making stuff up, it feels.......something..... when I do it. I don't know how to describe it. Like I need to get something out.

I was raised in a Christian home and tongues was sort of expected. So when I actually gave my life to the LORD I never really knew if the gift of tongues was real, or imaginary. But I find that there are times when I don't know what to pray about and I find myself praying in tongues. So I would say just keep it up it can't hurt, at least you are seeking God.

Sometimes I walk around my house just pacing and "meditate" on the word of god, or rather, i hash through stuff. I learn in a very WEIRD way, doesn't matter if its religious in nature or musical or what, I pretend I'm teaching someone else. For example if I'm trying to teach myself to ollie on a skateboard in my head I pretend I'm explaining it so someone else. When I'm mediating on the word much of the time I'm speaking to someone, and as I am god just gives me truth that sometimes just stops me in my tracks where I'm like "i never looked at it like that".

Yeah, I do the same thing. Preach sermons to the walls and couches in my lounge room. Helps me learn God's voice, and follow his prompting.


Or, in the case of yesterday, I sat down and just started writting, I wasn't even planing to write something like that I was planning to write some convictions I wanted to be able to look back on x years from now and hold onto as I move into ministry (mainly to remind myself how I had been hurt by various churchs and how the church asctually was a major stumbling block to me seeking god and how I don't want to do that to others) but instead this other stuff just started coming. So I wrote it down, and again, and again, and just kept writting. Lol every time I was about stop I felt like I was told "keep writing" so if you were to read the whole thing randomly in it you see the wrods "keep writing" because I didn't know if I should put it there or not.

You mentioned in your word that you got, that it was said "Tomorrow", you will see a miracle and it will be proof to you. The though that I have buzzing around in my head, is that "Tomorrow", may be to encourage your faith, to move quickly. Did you see anyone sick? Did you see any one in need. Some times a miracle requires action on our part. If "Tomorrow" has passed you by "Today", take the next tomorrow. But stand on the word that "YOU", will see a miracle, "Tomorrow".

If we all had faith to believe for "Tomorrow", the world would be a better place. I can learn something from the word "Tomorrow".

And why is it "Tomorrow", and not "Today", some times God leads you to people in your daily, day to day business, you do not always need to be looking for the miracle. But when you seek you will find. So keep looking for the "Tomorrows", and if you are really bold find a "Today".
