If a man says he is a prophet, you can pretty much take it to the bank that he isn't - at least not a prophet of the God of Israel.

Yedida, I truly do appreciate your chutzpah to jump in there into conversations even with people like me who you know are on a somewhat different page on many topics than you are. "For Better or For Best" by Dr. Gary Smalley is brilliantly written....personally....I believe that the three weeks of some form of fasting that he did when he wrote it along with a co-author.....gave him at least some sort of level of "prophecy!"

Numbers 11:29
And Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? would God that all the LORD'S people were prophets, [and] that the LORD would put his spirit upon them!

The fact that Dr. Smalley fasted with water and/or juice (if I remember correctly) during a large part of the three weeks when he wrote that book....showed chutzpah in approaching G-d with another level of boldness. Dr. Smalley writes about praying about major questions and not making a decision until he feels "the peace of God" toward a decision! This is a level of "prophecy" that to me seems available to any Christian who will show the chutzpah and self control to do at least some minimal form of "fasting!"

The above had absolutely nothing to do with a man claiming he is a prophet, which is what my post pertained to.

The gift of prophecy....is not either zero percent or one hundred percent....there is a continuum. One hundred percent of us are somewhere on that continuum...... Balaam had a prophetic gift...but his greed and other character flaws prevented him from writing more of the Bible than the brilliant few paragraphs that he did contribute!

Pray about it and ask God to show you if there really is some relevance in my reply. God will answer you.....He really will!!!!

The ceremony of the High Priest on Yom Kippur is detailed in Leviticus 16. The primary purpose of this ceremony is to bring atonement for the entire nation of Israel for their sins committed during the previous year.

Leviticus 16:30 For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that you may be clean from all your sins before the Lord.

Well....Visionary....over the next five centuries I believe that God will have specifically answered over eighty percent of your prayer requests of the past five years....with a Yes!!!!

Frankly God might just get up to 98% percent of your prayers so while you pray are you temporarily in a prophetic state of some sort????

Even your prayers for the salvation of your temporarily lost loved ones.....if I have not misunderstood some of the evidence that strongly indicates that time branches you may be amazed how many of your temporarily lost loved ones are led back..even if not within our branch of time??!! There is evidence that strongly suggests that Ezekiel 37 rather than being a one time only event actually occurs again and again and again.....

I am sure you also had times when you knew that you knew that you knew that what you had just prayed for was on the way.....even if delayed for 21 days or so such as occurred when the Prince of Persia attempted to prevent Gabriel from answering the prayers of the Prophet Daniel!

True....and when the house of Israel get to the place where the most feeble resident of Jerusalem is stronger than King David then we will know that Yom Kippur has been fulfilled at a level that we have not seen at any time in the past!

King David, in my opinion, was on a higher level of contact with God than the Prophet Nathan was!


Zechariah 12:8 "In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David [shall be] as God, as the angel of the LORD before them."

We are going into an era when the most feeble inhabitant of Jerusalem will be gifted like David so as we enter that time period we can rest assured that more and more people will be given astonishing gifts that will cause the outpouring of the first century to seem anemic in comparison!

Either you are or you are not... a true prophet doesn't claim the position... he just is....

Actually.....if what I have read that could be evidence that Ezekiel 37 happens again and again and again and again is from God....then your prayers from this branch of time could even affect another version of you that exists in another branch of time that is only perhaps ten years old at this time!?

This is a strange idea but if God is indeed the most emotional being in the universe....as I began to suspect back in 1990.....then what type of drastic measure might this Being take to accomplish what He actually wants to happen???


http://www.christianforums.com/t7695357/
Could God be the most emotional being in the universe????

This would seem to correspond with the Creator actually having thought up and choreographed an infinite number of Big Bang Events over infinite time in the past as some physicists seem to believe has been the case!

Investing infinite time in the creation....would certainly tend to give the Creator a greater emotional attachment to all of us than we can begin to imagine...considering how young we are.


“When My Father moves His little finger, the whole universe trembles. To shake the nations with words does not impress anyone who dwells here. But when even the least of My brethren on earth shows love, it brings joy to My Father’s heart. When even the most humble church sings to My Father with true love in their hearts, He silences all of heaven to listen to them. He knows that one cannot help but to worship when they are beholding His glory here,but when those who are living in such darkness and difficulty sing with true hearts to Him, it touches Him more than all of the myriads of heaven can." (Pastor Rick)

Oy vey! If God is that emotional, then we're in big trouble! Emotion is linked to the "heart" which is the most wicked of things. An overly emotional God is definitely not good news.

My point is that claiming the position or title of prophet takes on a bigger task than personal communication with Him. It is taking on the responsibility of nations spiritual conditions and acting as God's ambassador.

True....but even an ordinary person can hit a level of consciousness at least once or twice in a lifetime where they are given a dream or vision of some sort that has off the scale value that is playing around in the league of "prophecy."


Revelation 19:10 "And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See [thou do it] not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

When some sincere believer attempts to nail down the Word of God to one level of meaning that fits with what they learned in Sunday School when they were a child.....that isn't even close to what Rabbi Jesus/Yehoshua actually intended...they are playing with fire. So....is the testimony of Jesus the Spirit of prophecy....or not????

What about this woman from Edmonton....is it possible that her praying and worshipping and supplicating to God resulted in her being given a valid prophecy for the near future????

http://www.christianforums.com/t7647344/
A word for those ministering to Moslems!

Over these past 11 years my gifted Pentecostal wife has introduced me to a world that I had zero comprehension of in the past. I am wide open to this message given to a woman from Edmonton being a genuine message from God to all of us:




I really don't see that recognizing Mrs. Burris word as being genuinely prophetic means that she has to remain in a prophetic state of mind 24/7/365 for the rest of her life!!!!!!

Even Elisha asked for a minstrel to play in order to stir up the gift!!!!!

There is all kinds of red flags in this testimony.. starting with tongues that have no value other than self glorification.

Visionary....I saw an episode of Sid Roth yesterday where he talks about praying for somebody in tongues......An Orthodox Jewish Rabbi who had became Messianic was present....and he asked Sid where he had learned an archaic form of Aramaic????

So, what do you think, was Sid Roth temporarily in this state of mind by the power of God.....or the Devil???

Sid Roth - Sid Roth - It's Supernatural


If it were not for my gifted wife from Ecuador I might well still be in the attitude of the Pharisees and Scribes who thought of such gifts as probably being from Baalzebub!!!!

Possibly.....even King David ordered a census for far less than perfect reasons......

But....wouldn't the murder of somebody's husband in '94/'95 tend to inspire them to pray with a little extra chutzpah/energy regarding a particular subject????

That little "prophecy" is no different from what you can get in any city's "prophetic houses." You know what I mean. Every city has at least one little house that claims to have a palm reader, tarot card reader, prophet, etc.
Their prophecies are all so vague and ambiguous that they can cover anything and will eventually come to pass. Don't be blown away by these winds that tickle your ears. They're everywhere and they're dangerous.

Was this a case, where someone could interpret and the message was given than added value to the message?

Not just someone speaking in an unknown, for unknown, with unknown, about unknown??

2Kings 3:14 "And Elisha said, [As] the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.

But isn't casually condemning them as almost certainly being the same thing as a tarot card reader produces just as dangerous....if not more so???????

It is not the method, it is the result... There is no doubt God communicates with man. .. what is doubtful is in this case... it didn't bring them further into the walk.. but kept them to focus on the "gift" itself like it is the end all be all.

Yep, Sid probably already knew that tongue. He's in it for the money dear heart. Tongues are for the unbeliever and have no business with believers, serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever. Hashem is not a waster of time and resources.
