This is why I will not prophesy guidance fortell the future, deal with hatches, matches, or despatches, or reveal sin in people. The Lord has not included those in my brief.
Note that this post is to Oscarr only, and I would prefer that only Oscarr answers, as others were not a part of that dialogue between me and him that happened in the Prophetic Ministry forum.
I have been praying that the Lord would speak to you about what I quoted from your post. Are you saying that there is absolutely no exception to the rule? I hope you remember that you once gave me a prophecy which dealt with a young man in my church. That prophecy contained matches, sin revealing, and predictions which are all areas that you normally avoid. Do you remember how happy I was when I read that prophecy? I told you about it. It was the most wonderful miracle in my life. For the first time in my life, I realized that I could hear the voice of God, because all those things you wrote were things that I had previously felt were from God, and you even put them more directly than I could hear myself!
I am going through the hardest time of my life trying to keep on believing that the prophecy you gave would come to pass, and I know that there will be contesting along the way (e.g., Satan asking "Has God said...?", what seems to be the opposite starts occuring, etc.), but not this much. Let me tell you: It does not help reading posts where you talk about being against prophecies containing matches and predictions, because I am battling to hold onto my faith in that prophecy you gave which contains exactly these aspects! Please consider for a moment what I am feeling. How can I hold onto my faith in a prophecy when the prophet (or word giver) is against what he says?
I hope I'm making sense. Life's been really tough. I hope that God speaks to you in response to what I wrote. Thanks for listening.
This is why it is unwise to use the first person in prophecy to give the impression that God is speaking directly. It is better to say "I have received something, and I am not sure whether it is God saying it, but I will pass it on to you anyway, because I want to be obedient to the promptings of the Spirit." It is then up to the experienced ones in the group to say yea or nay; or it is up to the person receiving a personal prophecy to say whether he or she thinks it is the Spirit speaking to him or her.
It is only my opinion. This is not the word of God. Oscarr, you are one of the few people in this forum that many brothers and sisters in the Lord find your words to be final authority.
With the above said, you appear to contradict yourself. If this is in fact a practice thread, you annul those who may post with a few of your careless words. Why would it be unwise? Is this a word of knowledge? Is this a word of wisdom?
Unwise that what you're saying is that you pass your judgement without weighing what has been spoken? Is it wise to place the Holy Spirit in a box? By that, I mean between four walls like a Church building?
Where is the peace that passes all understanding? Where is the joy? Where is the praise and worship and joy in the Holy Ghost? Where is the anointing?
When you speak the way you do, I feel like an individual who is being orchestrated to be moved only in the fashion as you feel pleased. For this reason, I refuse to respond to others who have requested for a word only because you have stated your case and it appears to have been closed without giving consideration of what others may feel or led to think.
Thank you Oscarr. You have many followers already. To say that you err, would be the same as the sheep that follow you too err. But that is not what the Lord would have us do. We are here to build, edify, exhort, comfort. Where is the building only He can build? Where is the edifying in the way only He can edify? Where is the exhortation in way on He can exhort? Where is the comfort in the way only He can provide it?
Are you the comforter? Can I rest on the comfort of your word? Maybe I need a reality check and if that's the case, I'll be more than happy to stand to be corrected. I love being corrected and I love those whom God uses to correct me in the way He does.
Thank you for your post and your questions. You are doing exactly what you should be doing - asking questions about a prophecy given and comparing it with what I have said about the prophecies I am to give.
I know that the Lord has given me a brief with boundaries, and this is the general norm that I follow. Yet, there are times when the normal rule can be broken to meet a specific need.
If you felt that the word was guidance from the Holy Spirit, then that is good enough for me.
The word of God does not come from me. It comes through me. The purity of the word that comes through me depends on the extent to which I am listening the the Spirit when it comes.
Through experience, I have been able to recognise a seed thought that I can extend into a word.
I also have learned to detect a flow of expression in the spirit and to be able to stop when it stops and not try to put my own interpretation on what is being said.
The only reliable Word of God is what is written in the Bible. The Word of God that comes through the prophetic is not objective truth; it is subjective -
in other words, it is the person receiving it who determines whether it is the Word of God to him or her. If a word contains the voice of God to a person, there is something that witnesses in the person's spirit that confirms that.
The teaching that a prophetic word has to be always without error is totally wrong.
This would come as an experiential conclusion, but also an ethical sense -- not just wanting to get from God without trying to connect with Him But scripturally, you are right -- when God wants to speak, He speaks. Balaam, the burning bush... people (and critters) who were called by God for a task were not always in tune.Where are we told that we have to be in tune with the Spirit in order to hear the word of God? Where are we told that the word of God is only as accurate as the person giving it?
This is common in prophetic circles -- what starts out as honing skills and establishing limits can very quickly tend toward legalism. I'm not condemning it-- it's just that prophecy is such an unpredictable, volative phenomenon, and it can be misused so easily, that people form protective boundaries much more quickly than for other safer ministries.When you speak the way you do, I feel like an individual who is being orchestrated to be moved only in the fashion as you feel pleased. For this reason, I refuse to respond to others who have requested for a word only because you have stated your case and it appears to have been closed without giving consideration of what others may feel or led to think.
Could use a word.
OK. I understand what you are saying. My experience, however, concludes that what is found in scripture is true. And I can find nowhere where we are told that we need to be in tune to hear God.This would come as an experiential conclusion,
I'm confused here.but also an ethical sense -- not just wanting to get from God without trying to connect with Him
The burning bush?Balaam, the burning bush... people (and critters) who were called by God for a task were not always in tune.
i'm not sure what to make of this.I had an experience this week of heightened awareness of spirits (mostly human)
I'm enjoying seeing many of you step out. I pray the Lord will use your mouth as a vessel to share His word. I have a situation that has arisen and I am curious about any words folks here may hear.
Looking forward to this!
In an effort to keep my posts to a minimum as requested, I will just stick to questions here. Why is anyone to compare prophecies given with what you have said?
So the Lord gave you boundries, but those boundries from the Lord were too limiting or weren't good enough, so now they are to be broken?
When are we to base guidance from the Holy Spirit on our feelings? Or where are we told this? Or why would one base guidance from Him on our feelings?
[/size]
Where are we told that we have to be in tune with the Spirit in order to hear the word of God? Where are we told that the word of God is only as accurate as the person giving it?
A "seed thought"?
Is this how people handled words of the Lord in scripture?
You seem to indicate that not all Words of God are reliable. Prophetic words in the bible were always accurate. Why would they be any different now? When and where are we told that Words of God are subjective?
Can you show me an example in scripture where someone receiving a word of God was private? Could you show me where the validity of a word of God was determined by a person's feelings?
Can you provide a biblical reference? Most that I have come across say that a prophet must always be accurate. Did that change somewhere that I'm not aware of?
I am also requesting that you guys pray with me that God will bring that prophecy to pass, despite how impossible it is, or if the prophecy is wrong or has been cancelled, that He tells me loud and clear and ensures that I have heard.
Until I hear an answer from God, I'm pretty much stuck in my state of confusion.
You have been experiencing tremendous blessing in the promised land, oh daughter of the King, and He is truly ruling and reigning inside your heart, and He would say unto you this day, Ask, and it shall be given to you, seek and ye shall find, knock and the door shall be opened. For I have been faithful unto you and i will continue to be faithful in all situation and circumstance. Trust me, stand still, be at peace and rest in me, and you shall surely see my salvation. For surely I AM beautiful for every situation.
Are their young adults involved in this situation, Hisgirl?
