What is the point in being a prophet?

[Blain]

9 “Whom will he teach knowledge,
and to whom will he explain the message?
Those who are weaned from the milk,
those taken from the breast?
10 For it is precept upon precept, precept upon precept,
line upon line, line upon line,
here a little, there a little.”

That is usually how he works bit by bit every tree that stands above like the great oak tree grows slower and bit by bit but ends up standing higher taller and greater than normal trees and many animals make their nests there. If you are say a constructer of houses if you rush the job it turns out bad and wee and know only in part.

But we are entering into a new season if you didn't know the calander he originally desgined is based on a lunar one not a solar one like here in the united states he has appointed times he designed everything in a specific order.

To the lunar calander it is now 2024 the number 24 is always used to represent the priesthood of his workers in faith think of the 24 elders think of every verse that uses the number 24.

This is a season in which we cannot be the way we have been or do things or rely on things as we have it is a time when we have to prepare our hearts and our intimacy with him and the holy spirit because whether we can sense the seriousness of or not we cannot stand in such a time otherwise no more can we afford to debate or discuss it is a time to take action to rise to the warriors in Christ we calim to be things are coming that will change everything we know the world and the earth is going to be shaken just as Peter had to be shaken by the angel in his chains when he was in prision

The thing about being a prophet is that it is not something you can choose and often times it is never an easy path, all these so called prophets who speak of good things blessings ect. Look at the pattern in scripture how many prophets lived an easy life or were recieved or treated well?

Plenty want to be a prophet they see it as a special thing a higher ranking this is not the case what so ever as a prophet you carry the burden of such a title you speak what is heard and often times it is not a thing of of encouragement though it can be often times it is a warning it speaks of a serious nature time and time again all throughout scripture all through out history the prophets spoke and were given the warnings to speak but never did anyone listen and then just as God never does anything without first warning beforehand exactly as he said would happen happens.


A prophet is not a title you can claim casually because it often means you are not going to have it easy you are not above anyone you are not more special you are simply the vessel the messenger humbling and often times brought under a lot of attacking a lot of mocking a lot of times when you have to go into the wilderness with him in isolation

But the mistake is when those who say there is nothing new under the sun disregard what is spoken he said that in the end times we would have dreams and prophesy if he never had anything new to say or warn about why would we be doing this in such a season as this?

Having eyes to see ears to hear this is vitally important for both the prophet and the reciever the spirit speaks to the spirit not to the ear and understanding of the received it is clearly spoken in scripture that the things spoken of the spirit will not be recieved unless you listen with the spirit so among all the doubt the false teachers false prophets we have tuned out of this we almost instinctively doubt a word spoken we have that safe guard that we call discernment

But don't confuse discernment with doubt discernment of the spirits is exactly that not the person or even the word spoken itself the spirit behind the words is the core and starting point.

If anyone desires to be a prophet do not expect things to go smoothely and don't expect to given a lot of encouraging and uplifting words he only uses his prophets in times of trouble and as a mouth piece to repent and return to your first love.

You understand it. Thank you.

 

[Blain]

You understand it. Thank you.

Yes I understand I have no doubt you have known this, why so many claim to be prophets yet do not understand the suffering that comes with it the cost that it requires so many expect ENCOURAGING WORDS THINGS OF ACCURACY but the spirit is what we test not the accuracity the spirit is unpredictab;r we test tge spirit iteself behind thr words not the words spoken we as humanity have failed over and over judging on words so the spitit behind ther words is what we are to test.

Believe me have failed I have lost my way in fact the amount of times I have been so overcome that I blasphemed him I should have been struck down where I stood
But he was alwaya there his grace is so much precious to me because of how much I know his grCE US THAT DEEP FOR SOMEONE LIKE ME.

i THINK A TRUE PROPHET KNOWS THIS FIRSTHAND THEY WERE NEVER PROMISED AB EASY LIFE IT IS AS IF LIFE ITSELF HAS IT OUT FOR THEM THGEYN KNOW SUFFERING DAMAGE LONLINESS ABANDONMENT MOR THASN MOST THEY KNOW THE AXTUAL SPITIYUAL WARFARE THAT COMES WITH IT.

Believe mne

 

[ResidentAlien]

but the spirit is what we test not the accuracity the spirit is unpredictab;r we test tge spirit iteself behind thr words not the words spoken

You're off the rails; you're not even close to the rails. The Spirit doesn't speak falsely. He's not unpredictable, but He speaks in accordance with God's word; and God's word is not unpredictable or inaccurate. I've tested the "spirit" you speak by and it is false; and the words you speak are false. I don't say these things to "persecute" you but to get you to wake up.

So, I've been telling people how these things will play out for years, but no one really pays me much attention.
China signed a "strategic partnership" with the Palestinian Authority four months ago. Putin has historically supported Palestine as well as Israel. Russia held a "Russia-Islamic World" forum five months ago in Kazan. Hamas attacks Israel on Putin's birthday on the day following Sukkot during his 1260th week in power over Russia (this is not a coincidence.) Moscow is now calling for peace.
Do you understand yet?
The world that Putin is building will put him at the center of it all.

I can't afford to donate to this site at the moment in order to chat in pm. I'm employed as a DSP that helps disabled people. I'm not a highroller these days lol.

I understand the scriptures. Anything I need to know can be found there.

I may try to see if I can pm you since I am able, honestly this sytem is stupid the fact you have to pay to pm is that would Jesus would of done?
Money. that is all it is ever about I will toy to message you and hopefully you can reply I don't understand these ristictions when Christian chat has never been like this in fact in the many Christian forums have been to this was never an issue.

So in my eyes this forum or at least those who make the rules are not being Christians money is said to be the root of all evil but this is not true money is a tool how you use depends on if it is evil or not but honestly I was very sad and dissapointed when they made as it is whoever is in charge of this there is no denying it is about money this is the only forum I have found that does this and quite frankly I am dissapointed with them.

What ever, features cost money, the forum is free but asks for donations to keep it going. The private chat function costs more so they make it a pay to play for private chat. This isnt free to the owners of the site. Its no sin to ask folks to chip in and for chipping in you get the added bonus feature.
Its not very Christian to demand from someone that they foot the bill and let you play for free. I think theu are quite generous allowing folks to be on the forum for free, and they give you extras for donating.

Then tell me why it is another Chritian forum I frequent has so many more sections devoted to all kinds of different docrines many more sections way more kinds of sections of doctromes and sections for different believers still has the pm sytem free?

Christian chat has far less selections yet they make you pay for it and on top of that the many Christiab forums I haev seen never had this only Christian chat
So yeah this is not an normal issue it is about money nothing else if even forums that have so many more to pay for still allow pm to be free when Christian chat has far less more to pay for in that respect it is simply obvious this is about money

So what. Who cares the owners of this site let you use it for free. They give a bonus benefit for donating. There is nothing wrong with that. I dont care what other sites do.

 

[Mii]

it is simply obvious this is about money

Sounds like something to take up in prayer. I don't understand why money seems to be such an obstacle for so many things (ministry included) but it is.

If you want to talk about it in a PM feel free to message me or I can initiate if you don't have access.


I could throw out probably a literal "ton" of hypotheticals that personally help take the edge off frustrations at financial limitations.

None of us have asked for this limitation (that I know of) and each of us has to learn how to navigate it. I think we need to be VERY careful to not call God into account (period) or members of the body of Christ (without due deliberation).

I had to look it up to double check context but really all of Romans 14 speaks to this to me

v4 Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

It's a judgement call for each of us what to charge for and what not to...how to incentivize and how not to. It can get rather complex if we focus on it (and it is) but sometimes it's a heart issue or a projection based on our own financial needs being unmet (from our limited perspective).

Still bunches to say to even come close to commiseration or encouragement but...

At least there aren't ads lol

Behold, the man of peace. Listen to the Beast:

"Israel has been brutally attacked, but a settlement will be possible only through the establishment of an independent Palestine with East Jerusalem as its capital," Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the CIS summit."

"The negotiations’ goal should be the implementation of the United Nations' two-state formula, which implies the creation of an independent Palestinian state with East Jerusalem as its capital, coexisting in peace and security with Israel, which, of course, as we have seen, has come under an attack of unprecedented brutality. Of course, it has the right to defend itself. It has the right to ensure its peaceful existence," Putin said, stressing that "it is crucial to work for resolving this issue by peaceful means."

God has called me to be a prophet, but I don't understand the point of it. What good is it to know what is going to happen? What good is it to tell people what's going to happen?

It makes people accountable for having heard the truth and being given the opportunity to respond. Our responsibility is to present the truth, not force feed it. No need to question our callings, just obey. It does not matter what the reaction is. That is not in our hands.
