1 | Truly searching for a prophet? | Job | Jensen | 32820 | ||
Dear Charis....I have so much respect for your posts that I have done a lot of thiking on just how to reply. It may all be summed up thusly. You wrote to ask... "Brother, what is is you want to hear from a true prophet?"...to which my answer, my only answer, is and has always been, even from the original question,...ACCURACY! That is all. Accuracy. 100 percent accuracy...each and every time a prophet begins with "Thus sayeth the Lord..." I want accuracy. Or prophet indeed! God Bless....Jensen |

2 | Truly searching for a prophet? | Job | charis | 32838 | ||
Dear Jensen, Bigotry, not bogotry! :-) Sorry. I noticed that in a recent post that you asked, "Do you think God must back up His Word with the Bible?" My answer to that is, "No, God doesn't HAVE to, but He DOES anyway!" The Lord often employs reiteration, confirmation, and affirming witness of His word to us. This is because we are so self-righteous, so stiff-necked, and so DENSE! Even the Bible backs Itself up again and again. The preached sermon MUST be confirmed with Scripture. Our testimony is dependent on the Bible. The shared Gospel is founded on the written Word. Nowhere do I find a job description that says prophets must write the Bible. The Bible is written! Prophets then and now have other jobs, too! And the words they speak will always be in accord with the Bible, and be harmonious with the Spirit that speaks to your heart. (unless, of course, your heart is hardened to hearing His servants!) Peace, my friend, in Christ Jesus, charis |

3 | Truly searching for a prophet? | Job | Jensen | 32927 | ||
Dear charis...You wrote in referring to contemporary prophets.... " (a)And the words they speak will always be in accord with the Bible, and (b)be harmonious with the Spirit that speaks to your heart." To (a)I reply: And if they are not should we still consider them a prophet? And to (b) I reply: There is only One Spirit that speaks to my heart. And if the words are not harmonious should we still consider them a prophet? We will never get closer on this topic I'm afraid. But I know that we will once again find ourseleves in agreement :-) God Bless....Jensen |

Dear Jensen, Greetings in Jesus' name! (a) No, prophecy will always be in accord with Scripture. And there is no NEW revelation of God's will for the church. The Lord may speak to the individual or to the local church for vision or direction, but His message to the whole church is finished with the Scriptural canon. (b) Please be careful that you do not consider yourself in perfect communication with the Holy Spirit. That is precisely why we need the Bible and the gifts and ministries working within the church. Harmony is NOT a personal opinion. :-) I think we are closer than you may think, but I kind of get the idea that you alone will judge whether a person is a prophet or not. (?) In Christ Jesus, charis |
