Offering our own private interpretations of God’s interpretation the scriptures has nothing to do with being called a prophet . Its offering a personal commentary .Everyone has one like finger prints
A prophet is someone who declares the existing will of God as it is written.
It not us who determines who has an opinion closer to what God is informing us. In regard to that we are informed there must be heresy (personal opinions) among us.
1Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
It’s his approval we are to seek after not that of each other through our own private interpretation
Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2Pe 1:20
There is a simple reason for prophets, they are speaking the voice of God.
It is not so much about the future but about the present.
Mainly the message is dealing with problems or issues in society and a need to repent.
Now if someone says "I am called to be a prophet" and also says, "I do not see the point"
I suggest they are mistaken.
Prophets had the heart of God, got upset about how people behaved and why, and were
stirred to seek God on these issues, and then proclaim the response.
As Christians in a sense we are all prophets, preaching Christ and the need to repent and
get right with the Father.
I wondered if the role of prophets had died out, but there were prophets in the church
in the book of acts so I would say, no they have not.

God is not going to punish me because I say you are not a prophet
your post indicates you have not been called by God..God does not curse believers and those who cannot take correction pretty much end up in the mess they made themselvles
you obviously cannot contain your anger...and quoting OT scripture is ridiculous
you don't have a clue what a prophet is, never mind that you think you are one
you are quite passive aggressive it seems

And furthermore:
Act 2:17 "'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams."
Yet, when people's sons and daughters prophesy, and when their young men see visions, and when their old men dream dreams, they're called fakes.
I won't sit here and argue with people anymore about who I am or what God has called me to say. I've said repeatedly that I knew I was to be the unheard prophet. I knew that people would ridicule me and reject what I had to say, so I'm not offended or surprised. Sad for y'all, but not angry. I love y'all and will see you in glory. There will be no ill feelings of your rejection of me, but you will know I was right.
The message has never changed. Repent and believe on Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and keep his commands. For He is the Living God in the flesh. If you want to save your life from what is coming, you must leave America. I don't know when destruction will come, but it will come like a thief in the night. Every day is a day closer.
May the Lord bless you and keep you and make you fruitful. Go out and win your neighbors over to Christ! Bring them into the family of bitter, bickering, hateful, resentful Christian forum people [sarcasm meant for a certain clique of people on here btw]. For real, love them and lift them up and live in such a way that our Heavenly Father would be proud to call you His. And live in such a way that when you meet Him face to face, He will say, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
And a final word for all the know-it-alls, you have a very Pharisaic spirit to you. Beware that you not drive off fellow Christians or those seeking a deeper walk with the Lord with your bitter, hateful attitudes. Not that you'll be punished or go to hell or anything, but it is shameful for the church of our Lord to speak to people in such a way and to treat them in such a way.

When did I "write him off"?
I said the Bible has already said all there is to say about him. The Bible, as far as I'm aware, is the only place we have any scriptural information about him and it's already expounded upon by Paul in Hebrews. What else is there to say that wouldn't be the equivalent of my prophesying - since scripture gives us nothing else about him?
You enjoy trolling Christian forums, you and Eph610? I've almost reached the conclusion that you're one and the same person. You both seem to spend equal time and energy trolling my thread to say hateful, rude things about me. What purpose does it serve? I'm no fool (except a fool for Christ.)
Furthermore, anyone reading this thread can quite easily see that I've neither said nor acted in a spiteful, vengeful way and that you both have been nonstop hammering me for no reason other than your own bitter attitudes. Let all who have discernment see what is at work here.

Scripture compels us all to correct those in error...The fact you cannot discern between correction and call it hammering, mean, rude, spiteful, vengeful and crying a river about it and then claiming it is persecution proves you are a Babe in Christ.
The fact is we are not the same person, and the fact you think so shows you are paranoid and making up conjecture to defend yourself. Maybe we are a spiritual version of Priscilla and Aquilla.
I have had encounters with many like you. They come to me and say, I am Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor or Teacher and like you they have zero spiritual maturity, the love of God has never been shed abroad in the Heart by the Holy Spirit and when you attempt to shape them, build them and correct them, they act out like you have.
The NT Prophets I know dont announce who they are, we know them by their fruit and by the confirmations of what they have said. They have paid a heavy, heavy price for their calling and sending into the Prophetic ministry and don't go around flaunting it like you have. At the end of the day, if they come to a meeting and if they don't prophesy, operate in revelation, vocal and power gifts towards anyone, and simply preach and teach, they are content in doing that, because above all, a truly called and sent Prophet is about pointing people back towards God and teaching people to discern, listen and hear God for themselves.
Come to full age Son, your arrogance is writing checks your wannabe anointing will not cash.

The message has not changed, but to express it meaningfully each culture needs its
own language. This is why a living witness is so important to bridge the gap.
After reading this thread, I wonder how you as a "prophet" see yourself differently than
any other christian? If there is actually no difference why did you start this thread?
