hey I'm knurlheim and yah... not new to forums but new to this one...

*edit* since it won't let me post in any other section I'mgonna post my question here...

ok howcan the people who claim to have prophetic visions be truthful? I mean in the Bible it says that a true prophet from God will be able to perform a miracle to prove himself and so far none of the the modern day "prophets" have done such a thing. So how are we supposded to treat these "prophecies"?

First, Biblical prophesy is not only about psychic phenomenon. Biblical prophesy in the times of the OT and in the times of Christ was primarily about speaking forth truth from an anointing. Sometimes that involved miraculous events but not all that often. I think you may be misreading or misapplying something. What Scripture are you speaking of.

Second, not all who claim to be prophets or prophetic are. And many who actually are prophetic don't advertise it, don't boast.

Paul said we're supposed to "test the spirits" -- in this case, check the so called "prophecy" to see if it is in line with the rest of the Word of God. If not, then its false.

Another test is whether it comes true or not. This might take some time, but if the prophecy is genuine it will come 100% true. Partly true doesn't count here. I've heard many so called "prophets" saying all kinds of things, and most of it doesn't come true.

Hope this helps.

I've always heard the test is if the prophecy comes true. But that could take centuries, so how do we know in the meantime?

Hmmm.

Scripture has a track record, kat. Go through the OT and see how many times God warned Israel judgement was coming if they didn't repent. Sure enough, the enemy showed up and cleaned house, every time. There's also the Messianic prophecies. Messiah was promised centuries before He finally came, but God always kept His Word in the mean time.

Compare the prophecy with the Scripture. If it lines up with the Word, then all you can do is wait to see if it will be fulfilled. Lift it up to the Lord and then continue on your walk with Him.

But what about modern day prophets?

But what about modern day prophets?

Modern "prophets" I tend to take with (many) grains of salt.

Why?

Because I've run across a few of them in my walk, and although it may have taken awhile, the Lord always brought out the deception in what they were saying at some point. There has been only one person that I think may have been a true prophet. I met him in Louisiana, and he is home with the Lord now. This man was probably the most humble, godly person I have ever had the priviledge to know. This was the testimony of others in the local church also, ("by the mouths of 2 or 3 witnesses shall every word be established") but it was never advertised or deliberately "hushed up" either. The things he told me did come true, and one of those wound up saving my life about 3 months later.

If someone makes some "prophetic" statements, I take it to the Lord and maybe follow up with others in the fellowship. The Lord is the final authority, though. After I leave it with Him, I ask for the grace to move on and do what I'm supposed to do while waiting for an answer - serve Him.

I will tell you that when someone has given me a word of knowledge or prophsied over me I knew what in reference the Spirit of God was saying to Me. I have been in the presence of a false prophet and stopped that prophesy from being spoke also Let me say it is a uncomfortable to have to do that.

I had three major prophesies that I know came directly from the throne room, No one not even satan could have known what was in my mind at the time. Two has come forth. The other I give it a couple more years. These prophecies were given to be 15 years agop. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and I believe he will keep you from the wiles of the enemy

I have lost a excellent friend who was a woman, her husband was her assist, her prayer warrior, She stood in the office of a prophet to the nations but at times she would preach. I loved her so much. She lapsed into a coma, Many christians so upset and besides themselves...My pastor called me. He was wondering How I was when he heard... I told him Greta is going home, she came into a dream and told me goodbye. Too stay in the throne roomand some other stuff it is not impotant... I trusted her totally and all of those prophesied to spoke highly of her...the reputation, the word of God Spirit to Spirit should bear witness... aamen and amen love patricia :th_praying:

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      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.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topic Videos,

      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!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      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

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      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.
