1 | What is slain in the spirit? | Acts 3:6 | Makarios | 105660 | ||
Thank you again, my friend! I once went to an Assembly of God church, just to visit, and saw this practice in place. But I could not, in good conscience, participate. I knew that if the preacher approached me, than I would "ruin it" for him, since I would not then lie on the floor.. :-) I just simply got up and left. Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | What is slain in the spirit? | Acts 3:6 | EdB | 105662 | ||
Makarios I have many times "ruined it". My prayer has always been Lord what ever you desire let it be done. With so much junk flying around I also add God if this be of you I want it, if not, I want no part of it After praying that prayer I actually have had what I consider charlatans skip over me in prayer when I was placed in a position where they were going to pray for me. I was once in a meeting where a man was a “prophet” and was prophesying over everyone one on one. I had serious doubts and didn’t want any junk in my life so I prayed God if this be of you I want it, if not I want no part of it. I was next in his sights and he immediately skipped over me and my wife. Praise the Lord. EdB |

3 | Personal prophets in the church? | Acts 3:6 | terryandangie | 105665 | ||
Thanks for your answer on slain in the spirit. It brings me to the question on "prophets". The ones who do personal prophesy on people. Where does that come from? Is it correct? Terry | ||||||
4 | Personal prophets in the church? | Acts 3:6 | EdB | 105670 | ||
Terry First prophesying is not fortune or future telling, preaching is a very real and valid form of prophesying and should be viewed as such. Going past this we can get into real trouble. Again God can and does what He desires. Most prophecy today is very innocuous, the sky is blue the grass is green and God loves us, and I fail to see any real purpose. It does more to call attention to ones self than any other one thing and I hold this type of prophecy in suspect. As I do any form of correction. If the church needs corrected or the pastor needs corrected God will do this without making it public. If it becomes public I have found it is because people have refused to repent and there is no turning back, God is bringing the ministry down. I have also found much of what is called personal prophesy today to be very disturbing and more an effort to ingratiate ones self into another’s life either to control or to be viewed as spiritual. All that are saved are inhabited with the Holy Spirit, He was sent to teach, guide and comfort us. God doesn’t need someone to do this. However if we refuse to listen I believe God can and will send someone to us to either through a sermon, something we read, something we hear, or someone else but never on an issue He hasn’t been already dealing with us on. God will use people to confirm something we are dealing with, but I would be very cautious of anything that suggests God would use someone to come to us and say sell your home, pack up you belongings and more to Seattle without first having placed this in our hearts. Prophesy should always encourage, edify, exhort and challenge us to be more committed to our walk in Christ. If it fails to do that then it is of man not God. EdB |
