Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.
Well, if you're not forcing it, you're more apt to be led of the Spirit. I think thats' why people get messed up; if they aren't getting anything, they force it, and it ends up just coming out of their own imagination. If God gives me something okay, but I'm really careful of saying thus saith the Lord.I'm not real sure any of the moderators have looked it over yet. It could be that they would want to watch it a while first. It could be that they smoke it as soon as they spot it too!
I did want to clarify a little bit. Just because we are practicing these specific things does not mean we can't have discussion going to. I think discussion in addition to giving words and biblically judging them will help us all to learn and use our gifts better.
For instance, Zzub gave a prophetic word and I gave a judgment of that word. We can all discuss those things all we want or feel is needful, but Zzub is not allowed to give another prophecy until he has directly judged somebody else's, and I cannot judge another word until I've stepped out and given a prophetic word myself.
Of course every since I started the thread I've been praying and praying and I'm gettin nothing, nada, zip! I think I have stage fright!!
Technically this is not merely prophecy. This is word of knowledge being delivered via spirtual prophecy.
Word of knowledge is a charismatic gift.
Actually, you're right on both counts. Preaching is also done by the Holy Spirit, and shouldn't be preached any other way. I can't even preach unless it's by the anointing of the Holy Ghost. But, I have a prophetic anointing on my preaching. I don't even understand someone trying to preach off the top of their head, any more than giving a word off the top of their head.Old time fundamentalists used to claim that preaching was a form of prophesying.
Being a smarty super spiritual charismatic I would disagree with them and insist that all prophecy HAS to be via the Holy Spirit. Now I have found that I have come full circle. I agree with them and have included that concept into my teaching. I believe we can all prophesy and we all do. Everyone here has been moved by compassion, faith, or Joy... and his spoken forth from that movement.
When you did so you were prophesying.
If you found yourself unable to speak forth what you felt in your spirit with articulate words... you many have spoken for in soundings that were not articulate words... and at that time you were speaking in tongues.
You have all done these things passively.
You can now use this thread to do so actively. Be moved by the needs of your brothers and speak forth words of comfort, exhortation, and edification.
Be moved by joy and speak forth psalms, hymns and spiritual songs.
Be moved by the abundance of your faith and minister edification to those who need it.
This is the base level manifestation.
You can do it. You have done it.
Do it now ON PURPOSE, and WITH PURPOSE!
peace
Zzub's was totally harmless and could have been for anyone, so I doubt anyone will have a problem with it. If he had said it it was God's will to marry so and so, or take so and so job, or move to so and so city, yeah that would be dangerous if someone obeyed, and it ended up not being God. Those are the kind of prophsies I would watch out for. Anything thats' harmless and won't get the person in trouble if they do it, isn't going to hurt them.It seems like they define personal prophecies as parking lot prophecies. In other words, those that are directed to an individual, those that you can give words to outside a congregation.
I think the one posted by Logon would fall outside of parking lot prophecies.
ahmunmun said:Yeah, I'm worried that because it is against the rule to give personal words publicly, people will just do it over PM. Now, that's more like parking lot prophecies, because the word is not posted in public for others to judge.
I asked for and received a positive confirmation about using personal prophecy on CF. The rule was meant for the Prophetic Forum only, and not for the rest of CF.
So let's get on with blessing each other with our gifts.
good advice.I am so glad to see another thread like this on CF!!! Just a friendly reminder:
And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
(Matthew 22:37-40)
I am not implying anything by posting this verse, I just want to remind everyone to keep this in mind in all that you do... and in all I do...
I don't recall what your's was, but my spirit didn't go off in a negative way, so I'm sure it was fine. So far, God's been protecting this thread, and everything is peaceful. Let's pray it stays that way.What about mine for TPFKAD?
