The only part of that that I can see a problem with is not being able to give personal prophecies and since I very seldom do that I will just use pm instead if need be. Side note, why is it that lately there has been so many posts that are so off topic

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! ;) :D

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!! ;) :D :D
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.

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
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.

"Be instant in season, and out of season"...a real problem with me. I cannot prophecy very well out of season, which seems to be the case with me alot here lately. There are times when it seems to easily flow from the heart, but sometimes I feel like a stopped up sink.!!

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.
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.

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.

That's Right!

I USUALLY DON'T HAVE TIME TO FIND OUT THE RULES, UNTIL I'VE BROKEN ONE.:doh:

I RESPECT THE AUTHORITY OF THIS FORUM

EVEN IF I DON'T ALWAYS AGREE WITH "THE RULES"
HEY, THAT'S JUST LIKE CHURCH;)

JUST ONE THING....
CAN I NOT PRAY FOR SOMEONE WHO IS ACROSS THE WORLD FROM ME...AND HAVE GOD MOVE ON THEIR BEHALF?
SAME GOD, SAME SPIRIT.
THE SAME SPIRIT THAT RAISED CHRIST FROM THE DEAD. YES HE WAS DEAD, YES THERE WERE DOUBTERS AND MOCKERS, YES THEIR WAS A BIG OL STONE IN THE WAY...BUT....
THEIR ARE NO PHYSICAL LIMITATIONS ON GOD...ONLY ON US.
GOD IS ALL KNOWING , ALL SEEING.

If its posted on here for the whole world to see, how could that be a "parking lot" prophesy? That means its private without others around, (out in the parking lot ;) ) and others can't judge it. This way posted here , look how many can judge it. See my point? Aren't we the church here? In the Bible didn't it say prophecies were to be given when the church was together?

I'm just trying to understand this, why it would be wrong for prophecies to be given in public.

Isn't it absolutely hilarious?

For weeks we have put up with the condemning railing of certain individuals.

The delightful Kings Ambassador, rather than arguing with them, in a step of wisdom, decides to start a thread to enable the Biblical New Covenant gift of prophecy to be developed and utilised.

Prophecies start to come forth that are genuinely blessing people. People are encouraged and edified and comforted.

Then the rule is mentioned.

Cheers,
|ZZ|

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.

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...

What about mine for TPFKAD?
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.

This is a wonderful thread and I pray it remains positive and people don't come here and argue.

This will be great to help us with stepping out. My problem is I am uncomfortable to say "thus saith the Lord" - I hear some words many times and will speak them out, but say I don't know if this is from me or from the Holy Spirit.

My friend is always encouraging me to speak it out - but I am so afraid of calling it wrong.

Those who give prophesies all the time, were you always confident that it was from the Holy Spirit?
