Someone in another thread brought up a point that got me thinking about something.

Why is it that people have all these disaster dreams and visions, yet no one can speak a prophetic word of the Lord to Scientific Athiest or Undecided Frog or FogLight? Are not these the unsaved you want to call to repentance?

Yet what prophetic words are there that will reveal the secrets of their hearts, "and so, falling down on [their] face, [they] will worship God and report that God is truly among you." (I Co. 14:25)?

Amen sis nebula,

This is the most "profound truth" that I have read in quite some time in this prophecy section. I think dreams lift up self but the Word of God pierces the darkness and reveals the secrets of their hearts as the word says it does and it edifies the body building it up but dreams don't build me up when I don't know what they mean and have to play guessing games to figure what God is supposingly saying through them. It is like speaking in tongues which is of no benefit if there is no interpreter present and it doesn't edify or build the body up at all. I do agree with this so so very much.

Sue, thanks for starting this thread. I think it is the will of God that we be watching out as he commanded in Mat 24, Mark 13 and Luke 21.

I have been praying that the leadership of the churchs would repent. As I have studied their false doctrines, my heart has been vexed for them and their hearers. My prayer has been that they would return again to 1 Cor2:1And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

2For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

3And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

4And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

5That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

........and....1 Cor 1:17For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

18For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

As I was seeking the Lord concerning these things, I wondered.....how could so many leave the truth?.. he showed me something........he said "They have left the simplicity of the gospel and have chased after strange meat" .........and boom...it hit me. So many and myself included, was always taught to leave the milk and get to the meat........being in the WOF cult, we would study laws such as .......the laws of Prosperity.....the laws of creating your own reality..........the laws of the generational curse........and the like. These were outside or added to the Blood of Jesus and it happened so slowly and smoothly that I actually thought that I was becoming more enlightened. I thought that all these new revelations were moving me closer to God but I was really leaving the "Power of God" the preaching of "The Cross" because we were also taught that the cross of Christ was a defeat when in reality it was the victory!!!

There are many cults that have spawned off from the Bible and they all seem to start and are controlled by prophets. These prophets will usally tell the people not to "touch God's anointed" they try to place curses on people who would come against their teaching. And when your trying to please God, that stuff starts scaring you up into submission. So many of these prophets have prophecied things that never came to pass and even the opposite happened. The Bible tells us that when this happenes, we don't have to fear that prophet......yet so many of us want so bad for that prophet to be right, we will go to extremes to defend them because they have tickled our itching ears.

But to all who would truly seek the Lord, he has made their folly plain.

Jesus warned that many false prophets and teachers would lead many astray, even the elect if that were possible. We can see this today, and even within the church, or ones that think they are or claim to be Christians. The church had better wake up.

The question is: Are there any true prophets today?

Many of the verses you quoted are from the old testament, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that, however, some things have changed since then. The old testament was written to Israel, as the church was not born yet. Men did not have the Holy Spirit living in them then, as we do today. The prophets of old were the only ones to have the Holy Spirit. And if the Jews wanted a word from God, it would come from the prophets.

That was then, but this is now. Every born again believer today has the Holy Spirit living inside them and they have no need of listening to a so-called prophet. Jesus said that His sheep hear His voice. If this is so, which it is, then why would one of His sheep be trying to tune in to some self proclaiming prophet?

Hebrews 1:1-2

In the past God spoke to our forefathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways, (2)but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom he made the universe.

It is my belief that anyone who claims to be a prophet today is false. Jesus and His apostles were the last true prophets, that gave us the new testament. I don't believe the world will see any true prophets until they see the two witnesses in Jerusalem. One more thing, all of the true prophets, from both, the old and new testaments always had a physical connection to the city of Jerusalem.

Prophets exist today, and they are among the most reviled. We need to love them and hear them. It is a difficult gift to bear, and many who have it hide it, and rightly so. Too bad.

Prophecy isn't simply prognosticating...it is revealing truth from the Word of God. My pastor prophesies every week.

I've heard that before too. Yes, we can all proclaim the word of God, but this in no way makes one a prophet. If it were so, then we would have no need of having God choose our spiritual gifts. We could choose our own spiritual gifts. I'd be very careful if I were you, there are many wolves standing in the pulpits today.

Don't worry about me. A true man of God prophesies when he preaches.

I'm not worried, but do you have a scripture for that?

It's one thing to proclaim God's word, but it's another thing entirely to proclaim to be a prophet. These are not one and the same. Scripture please.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
