Prophecy Or a Familiar Spirit...Would the Holy Spirit Reveal Random Information?

[LearningToLetGo]

Have you tried praying to Jesus and asking Him if it was the Holy Spirit?

Not sure where your getting this from? as in the Holy  Spirit.(pnuema hagion) is not ruach.

Ruach is the Hebrew equivalent of of pneuma (Greek), both mean breath, wind, or spirit!

I call the Holy Spirit The Ruach, but I just wanted to know who the insight was coming from.  I never did witchcraft to gain insight about any of the people.  It’s confusing because I don’t know why the Holy Spirit would bother sharing random things about strangers.  None of the information benefited them.  Was it just intuition, if so, why?  Who did it come from?

The " if so why"& " where did it come from" has one very valuable answer" not OF God"..... No need to look any further than that

What you've shared completely goes against every reason there is for prophesying-according to Gods Word. .. Do as Marathoner advised, pay it no  mind " resist the devil & he will flee"

The enemy does things strictly to deceive, plant that little seed that you second guess what is Written- why second guess? Its very clearly Written what each Gift of the Holy Spirit is used for- not to predict vacations etc...

I have but I never heard either way.  I don’t believe he told me any of those things.

You are right.  I wanted it to be a gift from the Holy Spirit “Ruach” but it’s not....thanks so much.

How can you determine the difference between a familiar spirit revealing information, and the Holy Spirit?  It’s confusing because familiar spirits can give accurate information.  Would the Holy Spirit, “Ruach”, ever relay random information? For example, I’ve had several revelations on more than one occasion about strangers. There was a time in church I sensed that a man I didn’t know was going to become a father for the first time.  Though I had a change-of-life father, he wasn’t the typical age, so it seemed unlikely, then seconds later, he said that he was going to become a dad for the first time.  Needless to say, I was surprised.  On another occasion, I had a feeling that a stranger was going to have a new addition in her family.  Once again I doubted it, then shortly after, the lady said that she was going to be a first time grandmother.  Another time, I felt a lady I didn’t know was going on vacation, and she said that shortly after that she was going to be traveling over the weekend. I also had a revelation about someone’s upcoming legal case, etc. The question is, was the information from familiar spirits?  Doesn’t The Ruach give information that edifies and warns?  Those were just random facts, and there was no need to warn the people about anything, because most of the events already happened.  Also, I doubted the information every time.  I don’t believe there would be doubt with the Holy Spirit.

In my experience, the Holy Spirit, Speaks in a time of need, a word that will plant deep. I will not say what is and isn't the Holy Spirit, but the only way I can see this as being of the Holy Spirit would be a way of training you to be ready, and used to having such gifts, so that when the time comes, you will be ready

Blessings.... You said a mouthful right there " I wanted"

I'm very glad you have a teachable, open heart to Receive Gods Wisdom and Understanding through His Word and of course the Power of Holy Spirit-our own desires often hinder that!

I see you bearing the Fruits my friend, desire those ,they are just as effective as Gifts

With love in Christ, kwik

Thanks, I wanted to believe that it was Him, because I never did witchcraft/divination to learn things about people, but I don’t want to accept it if it was never Him.

When Jesus spoke to the disciples about the Holy spirit He said:

John 14:15-18 “If you love me, keep my commands. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you."

John 14:26 But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

My understanding of the power of the Holy Spirit working in and though us is that He is an advocate for us and through us, one who defends or maintains a cause or proposal, a comforter for us and through us, one that gives comfort, strength, and hope.  The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth so absolutely nothing will be confusing, alarming, or misinterpreted when He is speaking into our minds, our hearts and our lives when we are in full alignment with the Lord.
