Bible Question: How does one confirm calling of prophet? |
Bible Answer: The Spirit Filled Life bible gives an explanation of the gift of prophesy as a divinely inspired and anointed utterance; Supernatural procalmation in a known language; Manifestation of the Spirit of God - not of intellect (1 Cor. 12:7); May be possessed and operated by all who have the infilling of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 14:31); Intellect, faith, and will are operative in this gift, but its exercise is not intellectually based. it is calling forth words from the Spirit of God. It also gives two definitions. "1. The prophet is a spiritually mature spokesman/proclaimer with a special, divinely focused message to the church or the world. 2. A person uniquely gifted at times with insight into future events." How do you know if you have a calling for prophecy? Is there any in your church who are mature spiritually with a gifting toward prophecy? If you feel that you have a word from the Lord, tell them first and see if they confirm what you feel the Lord is laying on your heart. If you feel it is a prophesy for the future, write it down. Remember, in history a true prophet was always accurate in his predictions given to him by the Lord. |
