Prophetic Practice / Prophetic Edification Thread (2a)

[oldteddybear]

I am right where you were there in leaving a job and going back to school. I truly felt God wanted me to do that, and it's been tough. But I know I will end up in a better position and it's what He wants. It's been hard to learn to budget what money I get in school loans, and many obstacles have been thrown in my way, but I know He is there to get me through them all..
Thanks for saying that. I needed to hear that.

Yes I went back to school knowing that that was where God wanted me to be and it wasn't until the last day of classes (just before exams) that God showed me the job that I was to have. Then it took 6 months of pursuing that opening before I was hired. An in interesting aside, The day after I received the job offer I received one for 3X the starting salary at a different company. I did not take it as God had shown that I was supposed to accept the first job offer (my current job), if I had taken the second I would have been laid off already!

I know how you feel! I went back to get a Christian counseling degree, but God totally changed it. I am now a History major! I hated history..lol. But, now I love it. I do not know yet what this is all about for me, but know He is in it. Good for you. It's always good to listen to that still small voice..
God bless!

Amen. Off to find a verse.

James 2:5
Has not God chosen the poor in the world to be rich in faith and to be heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those that love Him?

bumping - need to split off the posts over 1000 into thread 2a. This is too long.

Prophetic practice thread

This may or may not be a good idea, but like all the other gifts that God gives, the prophetic gifting needs to be practiced in order to be better used. In my opinion, it is not that the gift gets any better with practice, but that the person practicing gets better and better at staying out of the way of the gift.

Therefore, lets try and step out here endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit.

I suppose the biblical model must be our model too, in that one person may offer up what they think is a word and it is to be judged by others. That will take a whole truck load of humility for the ones giving as well as the ones judging. For that reason I do not think it would be fair for people to judge without also stepping out and giving words to be judged, so that should be a rule then. If you give a word you must wait for it to be judged and you must judge another's word before you can give a word again. (And visa-versa).

If it becomes clear that other rules are helpful I will add them to this post and post a notice on the thread as well.

Finally, and most importantly, if the moderating staff feels that this is just a bad idea for peace and harmony to the forum, please delete this thread immediately and accept my apologies. I mean this purely for edification, exhortation, and comfort.

I have posted the original OP above (KingsAmbassador). In keeping with his desire for peace and harmony, we have come up with the following guidelines:

1. This thread is for mutual edification and encouragement… please make sure that your posts reflect this.
2. Please do not use this platform to bring directional prophecies… ie. those which will result in major change for the person involved. For example, it is fine to say,” I think God may be moving you on in some way.” It is NOT Ok to say “God says sell your house and move to …”
