You are not a prophet, just a man like the rest of us. You will have to answer for proclaiming it, though. Good luck dennis
I spoke to you in the most humble way that I could so that your pride would not rise up against yourself. Pride is strong in you, but it is not a strength. The evil ones can play a person with great pride like a puppet. After all, it was the first sin.
Regardless, It's good for me as I rarely face persecution. I expect to be beaten or killed for proclaiming His word. This is all that I am proclaiming, His word.
I'm just not sure why you or any of you think that I think I'm a prophet. I have made no claim to that. I have NEVER PROCLAIMED THAT I AM A PROPHET, EVER! Your statement is a false judgement against me for which I forgive you.
The Spirit speaks to ALL his children. Again, any child of God should know when, not if, but when He is speaking. Yes, He does speak to me in a different method than most. This gift is unique only in method. This does not make me a prophet. I have never been told to tell anyone anything other than what he tells all his children to do. The difference might be that by His grace, I do it. Be prepared to be persecuted in a number of ways, laughed at, thought of as crazy or worse. If this isn't happening to a so called Christian, then why? Jesus said they did it to him and they will do it to us. The us are his sheep who hear his voice and comes when he calls.
In the OT God spoke only to the prophets. Now with the Holy Spirit in His children, we have the privilege and right to address the throne. He should be speaking back in his time and way, because He desires a relationship with those who are His own. A relationship is a two way communication. A one way relationship is not a relationship at all; it's a dictatorship.
The Bible tells us that God spoke to different people in different ways. I haven't experienced all the others, but know mine.
AGAIN, ANY child of God has heard his voice. Is this blasphemy? Well, Jesus said that NONE can come, but that they are called. Was he a liar? Who does the calling? Jesus is calling in the form of the Holy Spirit. They must hear to respond or open the door as he says.
If you, any of you, have not heard God speaking to you in some form, PLEASE PLEASE make sure that you are not one of the "many" Jesus tells us there will be in Matthew. Anyone who has been called to be one of His has heard his voice, howbeit differently that I now hear. I did not hear this way until after I had been born again and baptized.
This is done by the power of the Spirit from within, which the latter day churches will deny ...as you have. However, the only voice or message that one will hear if one doesn't belong to him will be a call to salvation.
So do you think a demon is speaking to me, a spirit guide or some alien being? Who is it? Let me tell a story of him speaking to me after my heart attack, and you take control of your pride and test this spirit to see where it is from ...as we have been told.
Recovering from my near death experience, I was not happy to be here. I wanted to be home with the Lord where I was. I prayed, "You know that I do not want to be here. Use me or take me home!"
That week, I went to a bait shop to buy some bait. As I was paying, a young African American woman walks in the shop. As soon as I saw her, God says to me, "Give her whatever she needs."
I looked at her with great anticipation to understand her need. She started to cry as she told her story of why she was there. She was afraid to enter the shop, because she was on the wrong side of town ... her words.
She had no other choice, but to enter. She was there to get her taxes done, but the tax lady wasn't home. So she walks back to the bus stop, but had missed her bus. I immediately spoke up that I would take her home. I believe my enthusiasm frightened her, because she looked me up and down as to determine if I could be trusted. Then she says okay.
On the way out to my truck, a man from the store ran to me to whisper in my ear, "You be careful; we don't know her."
I didn't have to know her. I knew that the Lord knew her and he wanted me to help her.
We exchange small talk for a bit, and then I told her why I had offered to help her. After this, I shared the Gospel with her. This lady looks at me with a look of amazement and says, "I have never before heard the words that came out of your mouth. "
I don't remember what I said, but it certainly did not feel like the most articulate presentation I'd ever given. Whatever it was, it was exactly what she needed to hear. We pulled over and she accepted the Lord as her personal savior. She cried, hugged me and told me that she loved me.
When we arrived at her house, I offered all the money in my wallet. She refused to take it as she felt that she had received more that day than she ever had.
I told her that I would probably never see her again, but that I would see her in glory. She looked at me with a huge smile; pointing at me, she says, "I'll see you there!"
That day God looked down and saw that he was going make Vanessa His own. He knew that I would do as he instructed for her physical and spiritual needs.
A house divided against its self cannot stand ...Jesus' words. From what house did the voice I heard come from? Please tell me. All Christians should recognize the Spirits work, but they cannot if they don't have it.
The Bible tells us that the world CANNOT understand the things of the Spirit. It takes the Spirit within us to understand the works of the Spirit. If anyone here cannot understand the things I write, please make sure that you belong to him.
They didn't believe Jesus and He told us that they would do the same to us.
There is no need for prophets in this church age, because He is within us. That time has been fulfilled. I cannot remember what book this is in; I can look it up if you can't find it.
Do not fret young Christians if you do not understand the things I write, You should recognize God's hand in it, but it is very common for first graders to not understand Algebra. They will someday, but they should know that it's math.
Why does he speak directly to and with me? I really don't know; I'm not special, but the gift is. He does what he wants when He wants to. No one manipulates him.
He responded to my prayer to use me or kill me. Why does he use me? His eyes look to and fro to see whom he can send for the harvest is great and the workers are few. If you're a worker, you know this is true. I cry out, "Send me!" He knows that I will go and do as he instructs even if I'm faced with disbelief, persecution and or even death. I go, because I do not go alone. He is with me. My sheep hear my voice and come when I call ...Jesus' words.
I hear his voice, because I am one of His sheep. I come when He calls.
The luke-warm and cold God references in Revelation will not hear his voice. The cold do not know him. The luke-warm will not hear him as they don't believe anyone can. The hot will hear him and come when they are called.
Jesus told the disciples that if a town did not receive them (believe them) to shake the dust off their sandals to take nothing from that place and it would be held against them in the day of judgement.
I find it very hard to believe that of the thousands of members on this site that no one seems to understand my words. Surely, someone, at least one, has a spiritual gift of discernment to know that I speak the truth. I'm not making any of it up; it all comes straight from his word. Possibly no one reads it anymore.
I will ask him for just one who believes. They don't have to know all the spiritual physics, but they believe. If no one believes, I'll ask Him if I should shake the dust off my boots before I leave, but woe unto this wicked, self-loving generation.
