Hello brethren, how are you today? By the grace of God, I will talk about prophecy today.
2 peter 1: 19-12 says "19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
"20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
"21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."
There are ways one can receive prophecy: through anointed man of God and the word of God. Just like the scripture we read finished, ‘the surest of all is the word of God.’
There was a day I was in a night prayer, and the Holy Ghost spoke through a sister. She was speaking to people and it was confirmed that what she was saying was true. This is to tell you that it is not only anointed men of God that can prophesy; if one is spirit filled, such a person can prophesy.
But there are some people that are called into the office of a prophet such as Jeremiah.
5"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations." Jeremiah 1:5
Therefore, there is a difference between spirit filled believers who make prophecies and the believers who are called into the office of the prophet.
The Bible in your hand from Genesis to Revelation is the surest of all prophecies. If you are a Christian, I mean a spirit-filled believer, the holy Ghost inside you can activate any prophecy in the holy book.
I have seen believers running from one prophet to another in searching for a solution about his/her life. I don't say you cannot go to a prophet for a prayer but if you know the person you are in Christ Jesus, you can sit down with the Holy book and find a solution to your challenges.
The Bible is the surest word of prophecy! There is no prophet, pastor, and bishop that is greater than the Bible; there is no prophecy that supersedes the prophecy in the Bible.
When Jesus was crucified, the veil in the temple was torn into two- therefore, in this dispensation everyone has access to hear from God. As long as you are a spirit-filled believer, you have access to hear from him.
Remember that We are the sons of God, and the sons always hear from his father.
I don't need anyone to hear from my biological father; remember what he said in the book of Mathew 7:11 says
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
It is my right to hear from God, and I don't need anyone to hear from him.
Do You Believe in Prophecy?
2 Chronicle 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.”
If you are a Christian and you don't believe in prophecy, you are rubbing yourself from God's blessing.
1 John 4:1 “1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”
Before you believe in a certain prophet or prophetess you have to pray to God to help you discern it.
Fake prophets are everywhere, and it is even difficult to know the real prophet from fake. Only God can make you to know.
I don't join a church without the leading of Holyghost! Because if one wrongly join a church that is not founded on Christ, it may take a long time for such person to understand or it may not know at all.
This is because everyo program is like a church founded on Christ but in the spiritual realm, it may not be so.
In conclusion, brethren, it is the best to believe in God and also believe in your prophet, so that you can enjoy the blessing of what your prophet says.
You cannot enjoy the blessing of the prophet you don't believe; that is the reason you need to know a prophet in the spiritual realm before you believe in him.
