I am careful....are you skeptical about people who see visions and hear from God? Your posts tend to be guarded and testing. It's ok. But I am not here to prophesy to anyone. I just needed encouragement to get back in the call God has placed on my life.Be careful as the devil can be anyone he wants!

Thank you for caring. I am in good hands. My Abba, Father assured me He will NEVER leave me nor forsake me.I care about your soul. That's all

Yes, I agree, and let me share just one instance to give you an idea...I was in prayer interceding and seeking God....He spoke to me and said "I want you to go speak to my servant, "Ben", I have a Word for him" I replied yes, Lord, I am your vessel...what is it you want to say...God said just go, the Holy Spirit will speak through you when you get there...(this was the 1st time God sent me blindly to give a message). So I went to his house, he invited me in, and I said "Ben, the Lord has a Word for you....He said sure let's hear it. Then the Holy Spirit began to speak....I can't remember word for word but what the jest of it was to warn him to repent and end an affair he was having with another married woman in the church. It was serious enough that God even warned him if he didn't repent and turn away from this sin he would die.
Well, after the message was given...i was shocked and I apologized to Ben because I didn't know that was what God wanted to say...then I went home and asked God to never use me like that again. It was almost 10 years later before God used me again...It was a prophetess who called me out in a church I went to visit who told me I can't tell God what to say and what not to say. Then she prayed and from that day on God used me again. So....back to Ben...he died a year after that word was spoken to him.
This is not how God uses me all the time...most of the time is to encourage...but still sometimes to warn.
It sounds more like Nathan confronting David (about Bathsheba & Uriah).
Personally, I was more reminded of the prophetess Jezebel in Revelation 2:20-23, whom John prophesied would die together with her whole family (whether she ever repented or not, nothing is said, which likely suggests she didn't).
I can understand how this sort of prophecy would rattle you, Heart2Soul, but you have to steel yourself. It is prophesied that the judgments of God are returning to the church, and that means there will be a lot more of this sort of prophecy going forth in the future. But if He doesn't clean up His church, who will He use to save the world? Where will He bring them to be taught and trained, and raised up in the true admonition of the Lord? Judgment is going to start at the household of God, and He never wants to bring judgment without at least first warning His people that they need to repent. You're at least giving them a chance, don't you see? Be encouraged. It is a very necessary job if the end-time harvest would ever take place. The Lord, the church, and even the unsaved WORLD needs you to do your job.
I have had many instances of God using me to speak to others, some edifying, some warnings....I really didn't ask for this gift. I wanted to operate in the gifts of healing...but it wasn't meant to be I suppose...the thing most disturbing is my friends, family and church family stopped hanging around me. I had one of them tell me because they didn't want me to know their sin...I explained I don't think it works like that. I was young and really didn't understand the gift myself...I only knew that obedience was the most important thing. Now after years of despise, abuse and rejection I am empty. What did I do wrong? I still see into peoples lives but I don't share anymore. This has caused much grief and anguish and separation of relationship between me and my Father. Please help me understand.
Yes, I have an old post referring to The Commandment of Love for in obeying this commandment you have fulfilled all the law....I believe Love destroys every demonic stronghold in a persons lifeIt's like this, and this is for all of us, not only you or only me, but for every Christian, always.
21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
24 “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. 26 But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. 27The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”
What "words of mine" must we listen, hear, and put into practice?
The instructions and commands He gives us, which He spoke, as recorded in the 4 gospels, in order that you and I would listen and hear.
Such as these:
"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another."
"“Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?” 22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven."
"...forgive....your brother or sister from your heart."
And more.
If we listen to Him, then we are His --
"My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me."
To remain His we must listen, hear and do as He says.

I totally disagree with this....the devil cannot be anyone he wants....he is who he is....now does he try to deceive us into thinking he is something or someone else....yes but we have the Holy Spirit and the Word of God to help us rightly discern the truth. The easiest way to recognize the devil is he is always trying to stir up strife, envy and confusion. But he is under my authority in the Name of Jesus. So I am not so easily deceived, nor am I defeated by his attacks in my life. I am more than a conqueror through Christ who strengthens me.Be careful as the devil can be anyone he wants!
Thanks for the encouragement, that was a long time ago and I did mature a great deal since then. Ministers of the Gospel are under a lot of scrutiny with God...He is separating the wheat from the tares...and whoa to those preachers whose motive is to consume the wealth and does not feed His sheep...and to those who cause a sheep to go astray.....BTW I went to PM you but the message was too long...so I will try to get back to it...it wasn't a prophetic word as of yet but rather a vision I had...

Oh mercy, yes, and I am personally experiencing the daughter against mother thing...not to long ago I asked her to clean up her mess, (she is 37 and lives with me), and she began to yell and curse and it was ugly...i looked at her and I said "I rebuke you spirit of strife in the name of Jesus and command you to go, I ask you Lord for the spirit of peace right now in Jesus name." She never said another word and even her countenance changed. It was the Holy Spirit who led me to do this by quickly whispering "we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, powers and spiritual wickedness in high places"....Blessings,
Something similar to your situation happened to me. I even gave words to my family members to bring them into repentance. God singled me out to establish a better relationship with Him first, slowly sifting many out of my life and progressively bringing some back according to His divine plan, time and season. We begin to see Matthew 10:34-37 in perspective in this juncture. I heard He's doing this to a lot of His remnant because He doesn't want them bringing anything that's hindering them into the new year of 2018.
Use your gift to pray for them. It is not always given us to speak it but to pray. Have you ever asked Father what He wants you to do with what you see? Father has been training me in the same gift...Even showing me things unrelated to anything. For example...KFC was giving coupons. Scratch 3 and maybe win a bucket of chicken....He even showed me which three. Why? Its a thing to learn, gain confidence in, gain wisdom in the use of......What did I do? I didn't trust and guessed instead. I missed it. Then I scratched the three He showed me? Bucket of chicken... and I missed it. So Trust the one who gives the gift and ask...ask...ask what to do with it. You could even keep friends that way. Hugs.I have had many instances of God using me to speak to others, some edifying, some warnings....I really didn't ask for this gift.

Oh yes, definitely, in fact He tells me when to just pray (which is most of the time)...I think in my lifetime I have personally delivered a word from God to someone probably a total of 10-12 times.Use your gift to pray for them.

So you are being trained that's great....I have a strange way of seeing things....I see my visions in words...weird. But I remember in grade school when someone was talking i was spelling the word in my mind as they spoke. I was fascinated with words...still am.Oh yes, definitely, in fact He tells me when to just pray (which is most of the time)...I think in my lifetime I have personally delivered a word from God to someone probably a total of 10-12 times.
You are an incredible blessing my brother. Thanks very much.I see a child of God who desires to be used of Him and is willing to yield to what God has called him to do...but I see instances where He has instructed you to go here..go there...do this..do that..but you doubted whether it was God's voice or just your own voice. You have missed some great opportunities where God wanted to bless you..It is time for you to just obey His voice and do accordingly. Sometimes it may seem meaningless and silly, other times it may seem above your abilities or knowledge. You can always pray and ask for confirmation. If it keeps coming up in your thoughts frequently then I would definitely pay attention...must be important. Remember this, it doesn't take a prophet or a person gifted in hearing from God, We all have that ability to hear from God ourselves..you can hear from God yourself and you can ask God yourself to reveal any areas in your life that is hindering you from growing spiritually.....He would rather you hear from Him yourself than have a Prophet speak to you...does that make sense?
