    Prophecy and the Prophetic

When Prophetic events in the future are revealed to us by the God, we must remember it is not for us to say look I was right! No! It is for reasons such as in Josephs time! It comes for us to warn and prepare. The problem comes when we don't believe the prophets!

The scripture teaches us that if we believe God's prophets we shall prosper. 

 2 Chronicles 20: [20] And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Luke 24:[25] Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

Howbeit we must try the spirits to see whether they be of God. How do we do such a thing? Read these next passages very closely.

1John.4

Here are some things from the scripture that will help us; Remember:

"There are many voices in the wind, but God wrote his down where we would not misunderstand it!"

• The first thing is to know a true prophet of God will be quick to acknowledge that Jesus Christ Is God in the Flesh! That there is no other way to the Father except through Him! That he was born of a virgin grew up a sinless spotless life. That he was crucified was buried for three days and nights and then arose from the dead! And only through His sacrifice and His blood can anyone be saved! Anyone who teaches this is worthy of listening to, however anyone who even remotely taints this with the mingling of contrary doctrine is of the spirit of anti-Christ!
• Those in whom the spirit of Anti-Christ dwells are the prophets of the world, this is who the world listens to.
• Anyone who does not believe and listen to the writings of the prophets and Apostles in the Written Word is of the spirit of error.
• Love is another way to recognize a true Prophet, sometimes their telling of prophetic events may sound hurtful because they are telling of prophetic events to come, however true prophets try to stay in constant contact with the Spirit of God so that they can know what is going to happen next. In order that God's people can prepare themselves. But a true prophets motive is love for God and God’s people.
• Telling that Jesus is the only true Savior of the world!
• Once again Love and reconciliation with God Through the blood of Jesus
• Prophecy motivated with fear is not the mark of perfected love. God loves His people.
• Hate is not the mark of true prophet of God. You will not hear true prophets walking in God down their brethren even if they do no agree with them. They will still try and build them up.
   

This is some of the ways to recognize a prophet of God, The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, The God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

Why would I tell you this? because I sense in the Spirit that the time of Micah 3 is coming among God's people. For in the Apostolic time that has been ushered forth, there is a revealing of the true church and that will be seen first in the leaders.

What is the time of Micah 3? 

[6] Therefore night shall be unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

Night will soon begin to fall over the prophetic realm. It will seem like the sun itself will go down over the Prophets. Yet it will be over the prophets that bite with their teeth and put not the Word of God in the peoples mouths! Those who are prophets with wrong motives not be able to see anymore, however the Word of God in Amos 3:[7] is still true! "Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets."

Behold the Apostolic is upon us and the sun is setting over those who pretend. Recognize the marks of a man or woman of God! Know the Word and declare it, for in it is life and prophecy that never fails! Glory to the LIVING God!
