You don't realize that God can use anyone.
Oh but I do and I have been used a good number of times but I prefer to call it co-operated with rather than used. Now the problem with what you say about God can use ANYONE, is that He actually does not use ANYONE. He does, however, speak to those who are His, those He has prepared and who KNOW him. This anyone business is nonsense. I mean even a donkey knew better.
As has been illustrated in this forum, anyone can say they are a prophet even though they are no in agreement with scripture.
I don't think I'm a prophet. I'm an hindsight,It only dawned on me after it happened.
I don't know what you are and why do people always seem to think we need to label it and file it away somewhere?
What am I supposed to do,If I don't come to this forum, how can I get the right message across to the believers.
The Hasty Generalization Fallacy
This fallacy occurs when someone draws expansive conclusions based on inadequate or insufficient evidence. In other words, they jump to conclusions about the validity of a proposition with some — but not enough — evidence to back it up, and overlook potential counterarguments.

You have forgotten your first love and have fallen into the spirit of religion but you will soon see the mighty works of God for yourself a time is on the horizon for the reapers to reap the harvest and their scythe will be the sword of truth
A generation who walk with God and wield his holy spirit unpresedented
Be prepared to tremble in awe and wonder of the Might from your creator

Well that dream was for me only. I am not making a doctrine out of it and telling people this is how they know someone they love who has died is now with Christ. I think you prob know that tho.
In answer to your question, yes I have had some revelatory experiences and interesting answers to prayer and even warnings, but it is one of the things the Holy Spirit does. I think for many the Holy Spirit will impress upon them in their thoughts, what direction to go or personal leading. As far as knowing the future, we have the Bible for that. There is also the word of knowledge which is mistaken for prophecy often enough. Had some of those as well. Very accurate and helpful.
I am VERY cautious and conservative in how I value anything that has the appearance of being spiritual. I place scripture above any revelation, as God states we should and have seen far too much fakery so I have zero respect for it. People can be deceived out of ignorance (I have years back myself)but there is not excuse when person after person tells you that you are not in agreement with scripture and yet you just keep going and say you experiences that prove otherwise.
I don't many understand how much the devil can actually interfere in the Christians' life and get them going down the wrong track.

Only yesterday you apologized to me for the way you responded to me. I was gracious and told you not to worry about it; and now you're on here lecturing me about having a religious spirit. I think I should cut you some slack because you obviously have a lot of issues that are probably no fault of your own; however, no one can take you seriously at this point. In fact, you're a joke when it comes to being any kind of spiritual authority.

The thing about the OT prophets, is that they were in grief (God's grief) over the apostasy of the Israelites.
You sound more like 'I'll huff and puff and blow your house down'
No I'm not mocking.
Oh yeah...and this. How do you propose to 'wield. the HOLY SPIRIT? He is not your tool. See? This is the type of thing people mean when they say you are not scripturally sound.
Now tell us that you are only speaking figuratively or metaphorically or symbolically etc because of course we do understand prophetic speech from such an anointed one...after all, you did call yourself 'the spark' that was going to kick off the whole thing

I wasn't threatening him if your refering to the trembling in awe and wonder at his might that trembling is one that happens when one truly encounters God
And no while I am the spark it is not the finale of what is coming I am the spark of the grand finale here in cc and once that spark catches fire it will eventually spread all over the forum
But I am not going to continue debating this with you I will admit that I became a little frustrated debating with you and residentalian and didn't always respond in how I should have allowing my frustration to get through and for that I apologize but when taking to meditate and after having fruitful conversations with other believers I realized that there was no point doing this dance with you

Yes I know. But that does not make it so. If you would do a little research on it, you will find there is
but one creature we call the devil. When I have time, I might post some info and references on that.

Unless you reject the very words of Jesus.

Is there a difference between demons and devils? Unfortunately some English translations in the past have translated the Greek word for "demons" as "devils." This has led to much confusion. There are many demons, but there is only one Devil.
The word translated Devil is the Greek diabolos, which means "slanderer." It is always used in the singular when referring to the Devil. The adjectival form of the word diabolos is used three times in the New Testament and is translated "slanderer" or "false accuser."
Difference Between Devil and Demon
• Categorized under Religion | Difference Between Devil and Demon
Even though some say that both evil and demon are mischievous that always wanting to destroy, the truth is between the two is that there is a difference. Demon is always meant to be spirit of evil with the intent of destroying anything while devil is the high-ranking evil spirit, within Abrahamic, monotheistic religions including Christianity. That’s the basic difference pertaining the two. But, the words demon and devil may be used in whatever manner when using it in a wider topic. Take an in-depth look here and see the difference.
What is Devil?
Christians commonly believe that the devil is actually Satan. According to the Holy Scripture Satan or the devil was originally a rebellious angel who revolted against the Lord God with an army of demons. The consequence will be a condemnation by God. The devil hates all humans and God’s creation itself, and also loves to oppose the Almighty God and the devil has the work of lie-spreading and destroying mankind.
What is Demon?
An evil spirit that can be referred as a supernatural evil monster. The term itself is definitely not associated with any specific belief system. The use of the word demon depends on the religion and culture because of differences in their beliefs. An example of that will be, the Hindu demon which is called rakshas and the Hebrew word shedim. Demans are usually considered to be lower in rank and they are subordinate to the Devil. source
These are not sources I would say are the best out there, but just a brief consensus. I have gone into quite a bit of detail on this subject over the years but I am not going to debate it with you. That would be a waste of time for me and you are certainly free to see it anyway you want.
Thank you
