Have you ever been prophesied over or prophesied accurately?

[THE RAzEr]

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.

Yes!

But for the fear of what would be said , I almost wish someone would.

An evangelist with the gift of knowledge told my husband and I that we would be working together in a street ministry. Through no intentional effort of our own, this came to pass 10 years later after both of us losing our jobs at the same time and haveing to relocate to another state to obtain work.

We walked openly in neighborhoods that most feared to even drive through. We ministered to gang members, prostitutes, drug addicts and their children.

God is truely amazing.


Edit:
Here is a better understanding for you.

What I stated above was a "prophecy" not a working of the "word of knowledge", although the evangelist did give us a word of knowledge along with the above prophecy.

Karen, not to be picky but it is not called a gift of Knowledge but rather a Word of Knowledge.

Ok........I will rephrase........Word of Knowledge..........which I refer to as a "gift". But, we are talking about the same thing.



Edit: To make clearer; (I also placed this in the original post.)

Karen, I was not meaning to sound trite. I knew exactly what you meant and what you were referring to. Just, it is important to make the distinction IMHO.
