• 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.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Real prophecy, real vision!

I yearn for a return of prophecy and vision to God's people! I am not talking about self anointed prophets who steal the money and souls from those who have been deceived into following them. I'm talking about real, genuine words of God that pierce into people's heart and challenge them. In Acts, we see Agabus who twice is recorded as being VERY SPECIFIC with what God has said. How many times did the Spirit speak to people in Acts with very specific instructions on where to go and who to look for and sometimes even what they were doing.

Jesus Christ of Nazareth is piercing hearts all across the earth. He just may not be giving you the memo. Be patient. Blessings.

I was at the meeting (house)...many years ago.
--
A fellow (invited speaker) preached a brief message from scripture.
Then he started giving..prophecy to some people.
I was one of them..he gave the prophecy.
---
He said..
"You will be in Africa.."
I was a bit puzzled/surprised.
- I had no intention/plan going there.
---
Two years later, I was in Africa..
- mission trip.
Since that time, I was involved in African mission work..many years.
- in several regions.
---
My perspective is..
- there are genuine prophets..giving/ministering prophecies..
- in unlikely/humble places.

Well praise God they do exist, just very rare.

"‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out My Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on My menservants and maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy."
Acts 2:17‭-‬18 BSB

I yearn the days when they are as common as rain

Is He doing it through the gift and utterance of prophecy?
