Prophets and Prophecies

I would like to open a forum which is much debated in our society. First of all, what does it mean by the term prophets and prophecies? Is it written in Bible the Holy Book of Christ that during the last days some prophets will be born, who will tell us of new prophecies? Does the people who actually claim that they speak prophecies in the name of God know exactly what they are speaking and when will they be fulfilled? Are they trying to add anything which is strictly forbidden at the end of the Book of Revelation? Is not the Bible complete in itself that someone need to add something to it?

I’m telling you it is not the time when new things will be written but it is the time when what is written will be revealed and will be fulfilled. And revealing does not mean in metaphors but in plainness. Something which is the truth and the truth is always bitter to man in iniquities because it will prick his heart like a sharp arrow because he had filled it with deceptions.

So many abuses of five

Submitted by evstevemd on Thu, 11/13/2008 - 00:02.

So many abuses of five ministry that some people decide to dismiss them to avoid confusion in their church. The problem is, they make apostolic and prophetic ministries as if are political leaders of other ministry. They make them look like super ministry superior to others. This is a lie.

The truth is: All ministry are co-important, and all are co-dependent. They have common goal and that is to edify saints and build the church that gates of hell will never shake.

Also they have NO new revelation to add as dear sister have said but just to reveal to people something in God's already written and sealed word. If we do this, the church will ever be strong and unshakeable

Written prophecies

The Bible tells us that the Holy Spirit will guide us into all truth, and that he will speak. (John 16). The Bible also says that if anyone speaks in ministry he should do it as the very oracles of God. (1 Peter 4:11)

God will speak today through prophets and to all believers who are listening, but not infallible teachings of general application to the whole church on the level with Scriptures.

We are told to test everything and not to despise prophesying. 1 Thessalonians 5:19-21. This is not an invitation to write off all prophesying in the church, but rather to test it.

We can write down what we believe the Lord is saying also, but we cannot write something with equal authority to Scripture. Scripture is perfect and universal in application.

Dear Brother, instead of going after all these prophecies should we not dedicate ourselves to God and let him reveal the prophecies written in Bible to be made known to us in plainness. Because whatever prophets of today are propheciesing is in metaphors. Why do you think God wants to hide all these things from us? Is anyone able to tell at what stage is the world today and what is to happen now?

Everything is in the hands of God, and He is in control of it, isn't it?
