Prophetic practice thread

[c1ners]

I am taking you by the hand my child and I am leading you in a path you have not known. Do not be afraid but place your confidence in my word for I will perform it. Even now, I am standing before you that you may step out of all the afflictions the enemy has inflicted upon you.

It is my good pleasure and my perfect will to show you things to come. Did I not promise you that in the last days I would pour forth out of my spirit? Yes, my child, It is your generation that the enemy has tried to destroy with the drug culture and every type of evil activity to prevent you from coming to me.

Today my child, I am placing you under the shadow of my wings that you may call out to those in need of me, those who don't know me. I am placing that call in you as you stretch out your hand and touch me. Come for I will lead you and I will make the crooked paths straight before you.

This was a beautiful word of encouragement!

Is this God speaking?






(From Webster Dictionary) Guess what word this definition belongs to:

1 a: the act of insulting or showing contempt or lack of reverence for God b: the act of claiming the attributes of deity2: irreverence toward something considered sacred or inviolable


And I think your a razors edge away from crossing that line.

Oh Vincent, Vincent, Vincent! You don't mind if I call you Vincent do you Jimmie?...LOL

Perhaps God figures the church, the world, and christians in general are so busy condemning each other at every turn that He just doesn't need to waste His time with it. That part is well covered.

I don't really see christians condemning each other that much.

The word is blasphemy.

And reading the post, it doesn't look as if the poster is actually speaking but rather it reads as if God actually typed the words. Now that someone has claimed to be standing in the place of a prophet, someone has some proving to do otherwise it could be considered blasphemy.

If the intent of the post was to offer encouragement, then the post could have done that without making it look as if God had typed on the keyboard.

I've done my share of condeming or how is put properly put in the English context, condoning? In the past, I did everything I thought I could to defend the bible as I understood it with my natural mind.

I went so far as to stand behind the pulpit and publicly opposed those who first began their ministry in the inner healing. I quoted bible verses to anul their ministry.

I'm just thankful that our Lord Jesus Christ Who now sits at the right hand of the Father was patient with me. One day we will stand before Him and we will ask Him when we fed Him or gave Him a drink. He will answer that as we did this for the little ones, this we did to Him. For this, I repent and ask for your forgiveness anyone on this forum if I have offended you in anyway. My deepest regrets.

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 love the term, 'razor edge'. I thank the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ for using you because His word is sharper than a double edged sword dividing soul and spirit.

It takes that necessary precision to cut away the soul from the spirit that we may be able to discern the spirit as His Spirit wills. Unless the soul is cut-away (pierced) from the spirit, we will continue to side with the enemy in the way he sees easiest because we are but flesh.

I love it when Jesus Christ our Lord, promised to them, His disciples, that it was given to them to know the mysteries Kingdom of heaven. Just because I read the bible in the English version, I still have to perceive it in my original language and when I do, I understand His will for His children.

His will is His word. It will not return to Him void but accomplish the very thing He has desired. Not our will but His alone! Hallelujah to the King of king and the Lord of lords for we do not lord these things over others. Our lordship is to lord His word over the enemy.

May you cross over to the other side as His word pierces you dividing your soul and your spirit with His word of precision that never fails. God bless you!

Actually, condemning and condoning are polar opposites of one another.

 

[Stpatterk]

The word is blasphemy.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I cannot praise the Father of light and the Father of mercies enough! I love the cross! "Crucify Him! Crucify Him!" I love the fellowship of His suffering too!!!!

And reading the post, it doesn't look as if the poster is actually speaking but rather it reads as if God actually typed the words. Now that someone has claimed to be standing in the place of a prophet, someone has some proving to do otherwise it could be considered blasphemy.

My own Catholic faith prevents me from operating in that of an office of a prophet. Nevertheless, I am not a prophet. I cannot add nor take away what the Spirit is saying... awesome!

If the intent of the post was to offer encouragement, then the post could have done that without making it look as if God had typed on the keyboard.

I cannot merely sound like a tinkling cymbol when His love flows from my innermost being to them whom He loves, to them He gave Himself for.

With that in mind, will you please give the rest of the prophets a chance to pass on their judgement as to whether it was His word or not? It appears in this thread that you are the only one who is passing judgement. Thank you and God bless you in the only way He does and as He wills.

I'm not trying to tick anyone off and I mean no disrespect to anyone. My questions were meant in all seriousness. Why does nobody else ask "is this really God"? I'm not passing judgement, I'm just making observations and asking the questions. Anyone can feel free to jump in and give their opinions, but nobody else ever asks the tough questions. Why don't they? Does everyone read this and just say "praise God"? Why doesn't anyone read this and go "hey wait a second"?

The way your post was typed makes it read as if God Himself is typing. How do I know that was directly from God? Please don't just say it's a mystery of heaven or something. Thomas wanted to see the scars. I want to know how I know this was God speaking.

When there is a boulder in the middle of a stream the water does not halt and wait for the boulder to leave, it merely parts itself and flows right on by. In yeilding to the boulder the water will eventually wear the boulder down to nothing but sand.

I take that as obscure message saying you are going to avoid my questions.


EDIT (rather than doing another post):

That's right, I must just be in the way.

No, it was just a general statement, however; I honestly didn't know you had asked me a question. I'm very sorry. Do you mind repeating it, or can you provide the post number and I promise I will answer it.

I really don't like to get snippy with people, but I feel I have no choice in this matter.

Why does it concern you so much? Was this word for you, or was if for Knownbeforetime? If the word was for you I could see you questioning it, but it was for someone else. Won't you please just leave it be?

Thing is, it's hard to judge the prophecy if you are not the person to whom it is addressed. I can say that Stpatterk's post was in line with scripture, and was edifying. Whether it was a prophetic, rhema word can only really be judged by Knownbeforetime, since none of us know her precise circumstances. So perhaps we should wait for her opinion.
God bless you.

Hey, no problem. This is sometimes how things are worked out.

It concerns me becuase I do happen to care about others. I don't want to see sombody just accept any old thing that comes their way because it makes them feel good or whatever reason. When somebody is claiming to be speaking in the place of God, as the particular post I'm refering to reads, I become concerned. This is a serious claim and everyone just seems content to ignore it instead of stopping for a second and asking the tough questions. How does anyone know this is from God?


Where's Mr. Oscar? I would be interested in his opinion if he's around.

Hello Jimmie, What does this verse mean to you?

1cor 2:16

2:16 For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ

Fair enough. I'll hold for her opinion. I wasn't judging the prophecy. I made the observation (along with a few other observations) that it could be considered blasphemy if it wasn't really directly from God, because with the way the post reads, it looks as if God Himself is typing. Was it in line with the bible? Yes. Will it be edifying? Probably so. But was the source of the message God Himself? Or was the source of the message from the posters reading and applying scripture? The post reads as if God is typing on the keyboard. That's what I question.

Hey man. I'm going to come back to this. I have to go get some lunch right now before the place closes...be back in a few.

I see what you're saying, however, I'm not attempting to instruct God in anything. I just asked if it was really Him directly speaking in this instance and how anyone is to know that it's really Him.

 

[Yekcidmij]

Several posts have been along this line of thinking now.

2 Peter 1:
20 But (BB)know this first of all, that (BC)no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one's own interpretation,
21 for (BD)no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men (BE)moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.
