PROPHETIC CHRISTIANS

By Spirit Fire

This is from notes taken from a prophetic class I took, while the
notes were written by me, the class was not given by me.

Prophetic Christians hear 4 different types of Voices...

1. Your own Spirit
2. The Holy Spirit
3. Angels
4. Demons

In The Old testament, Prophets had Revelation " Received " ... Meaning the only way they messed up or got it wrong was by having a bad heart. They Heard From God directly unless they were evil.. IN which case they were stoned often.. In the old testament
 they weren't " born again " ... In The New testament a Prophet's revelation is "perceived" ... Meaning we hear God through the Holy Spirit that lives within us, interacting with our own spirit ... See 1 Thess. 5:20-21

Verse 20)do not treat prophecies with contempt.
Verse 21) Test everything. Hold on to the good.

1 Corin. 14 (we NOW judge the word given and not the Prophet himself. )

 How to judge Prophecy. Does in bring Conviction? Does it bear witness with the Holy Spirit? Is it Scriptural? What do other trusted Prophets think?---The differences between things. The Gift of prophecy is the gift of the Spirit. For Edification, Exhortation and Comfort ...[bible]1 Corinthians 14:3But everyone who prophesies speaks to men for their strengthening, encouragement and comfort.
 

The Prophet as a person is CHRISTS gift, The person himself is the gift. The role is not to Prophesy mainly, its to equip the people, with a prophets reward, "to have eyes to see and ears to hear ". They direct and correct because they are in the Government of God.. They are
 RARE..---Prophecy & Prophets are two different callings...1 Corin. 12 - Talks about the GIFT of prophecy, its a gift of the Holy Spirit... The Gift is the word given or spoken..

Verse 1) Now about spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be ignorant.....
Verse 10) to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy.

Eph. 4 - Talks about The Prophet Himself... The Person, is Christ's gift.
The gift IS the person...

Verse 7) But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
Verse 11) It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be
 evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers,
Verse 12) to prepare God's people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
 
4 Levels of prophesy

1. The Culture - " even a donkey can prophesy "
2. Gift of - for edification, exhortation and comfort.
3. A prophet who prophesies well. NOT the office, but one who is trusted.
4. The office of the prophet, the person, the gift of Christ.

When you see something negative in someone elses life, PROPHESY THE ANSWER.

You will speak grace into their lives, to effect a change...
