Have you ever been prophesied over or prophesied accurately?

[Mike Vande]

I have, several times. Once, I was given a word that there was someone in the congregation that was there because she felt obligated to God for healing her son. God told her that she didn't owe him anything for that, but that he loved her and gave His life for her, and wanted to be her Father full time. A lady in the congregation I didn't know stood up and came down to the front, looking at me like I was from another planet, hit her knees and prayed to be saved.

The gift of prophecy has been devalued among His children by those who would use it for their own reasons; manipulating others, trying to make themselves look good, trying to make themselves feel good, or just not knowing the difference between prophecy and their own imaginations. But the gift of prophecy is still a valid gift given by God. That's what the scriptures say, and disgust/disappointment/frustration/whatever over the abuse of any gift is not enough to contradict scripture concerning it.

One of my friends and I were at a ladies day at another church when a woman prophesied over my friend that she would be mother to a baby girl with dark, curly hair. This woman did not know us and no one but me knew that my friend was barren. She never even asked the woman to pray over her. The woman approached my friend and spoke.

We didn't talk about it until on the way home because my friend had been told for years that she could never have children. She accepted the woman's words and kept waiting to get pregnant even though she had not been able to conceive for the last 20 years.

She didn't get pregnant.

HOWEVER, about a year and a half later... I drove to Georgia to pick up my white friend and her newly adopted newborn daughter. A black baby girl with a massive headful of dark, curly hair.

FAKE people DO NOT make God fake. God is very real and so are His gifts.

[RamboPreacher]

yes, nearly every time.

We used to have a court reporter in our congregation, and she would take notes every time one came up and type them out and give them to our, then, pastor to give to the individuals and for the congregation.

Since coming to COGOP - nope. haven't so much as heard tongues (not that it's required) much even, except for a particular ministers conference, but that's another thread.

[paul]

most every time

[DaJudge]

Nope

[Pastor Bill]

I have seen the true and the false, the important thing is to know the difference. God still moves in this way, but it will always line up with the Word, and will always bring glory to God, most of the false ones don't even get that far, but beyond that we need to seek God and HE will confirm it in us.

[paul]

but beyond that we need to seek God and HE will confirm it in us.

generally the true prophetic will comfirm what God has already spoken to you in your life. Very rare is it directional ( sell your house and go on the mission fields.) Very rare does it ever calll you into a ministry position, but rather might comfirm an area that God has been dealing with you about.

One must remember that the fulfilling of your prophecy may be in part contingant upon someone being obedient to the voice of God concerning their call.

We are all a part of the whole. EXAMPLE: I was in a remote village, secrive done, I was exhausted, overwhelmed with heat, been ministering multiple times daily and traveling. End of service, Pastor their is one who need to be baptised. Only one. Flesh: why can't the pastor do it after I leave ? I am completely eshausted. Voice: Paul why are you here. Answer: Yes I know Lord. So I baptised him in a muddy ditch.

He was a practicing Hindu. After the baptism, he requested I rename him with a christian name. Which I did, Timothy Elijah. Now the point. His wife came to me later and said she had been given a prophetic word years earlier that a white man would come to this village ( I was the first white man to ever come to the village). her husband would be saved and baptised. She lived on that hope of the prophetic for her husbaand.

But it was in God's timing and my being obedient to God when He told me< why are you here Paul. that the fullness of the prophetic word came to pass.

the gifts do not work seperate from the Spirit nor from one another, they are interwoven. ( complete message initself)

[rough_rider]

Yes, most every time...

Your question in part is have you ever prophecied accurately.

A few years back I was holding a meeting in a cogop in idaho. there was a young baptist couple that had came to the meetings. I knew that most of the congregation was skeptical of prophetic word. one night during the meeting, a word came to me for the young baptist couple. I still remember it clearly. " No matter what the Dr's tell you about your sons health, God has given the assurance he is o.k. nothing to worry abut."

The father came to me after service and was very blunt. Sir, you are a fake and you missed it. There is nothing wrong with my son. He is perfectly healthy. He has not seen a dr.

I responded that I knew what God had said and I shared it with him as I heard it spoken to me.. If I offended him I was sorry. I left. About a year later I returned to do some meetings and this young father aproached me. Sir, I must repent and tell you I am sorry. A few months after you left my son got severly sick, we took him to the dr and they said it was a rare disease and they were not sure what to do. We remembered the word and stood on it and our our son got better and the dr's say their is nothing wrong they must had mis diagnosed him.

When i was about 14 a man prophesied and said I was going to be a preacher someday and marry a piano player. I had no desire to be a preacher. But evryone thought the piano player would be a girl we went to church with but then she got married at 18 and not to me. Well, lo and behold, my wife is a piano player and I didn't know that when we first started dating and I am a preacher.

[Pastor Gary]

More times than I can begin to list. I have, somewhere, transcriptions of many of them, and when I have hit a wall in the past, I have pulled them out and reviewed them.

[pastorables]

Yes to both questions.

[Full Quiver]

Mike, reading your given example I would not call that prophecy but a word of knowledge if anything. What was the prophesy? Maybe even closer to discernment.

I keep a journal of prophetic words or words of knowledge as well. Like PG when "wall" is there, they are great faith points for me
