Hi zone.

There is no point in talking to you. I will continue to post what God gives me. You can read it and take heed, or ignore it as you please. But I ain't answering you anymore, and I ain't stopping either.

Ive been questioning this belief about wether the gifts of the Holy Spirit were only for the apostles at the time right after Jesus Christ for many years.
Not because I ever believed that the Holy Spirit no longer brings these gifts.
Simply because Ive seen no real scripture saying these gifts have ceased.
When I first heard this ending of the gifts, I was shocked.
Where is it said these gifts will end?
I have seen scripture where Jesus said these gifts would be even greater in the last days.
Paul also spoke to seeking after these gifts.
Now I know there are many that say these gifts no longer exsist.
But, I cannot help but wonder if saying this, speaks against the Holy Spirit, as this has crossed my mind when it is said the gifts have ceased.
Now dont get all worked up over my saying this, Im just sharing thoughts considered, not saying some are wrong. :)
I still keep asking why Jesus said He would send the Holy Spirit, yet there is no comment about the gifts being temporary.
I have seen the gifts of the Holy Spirit, not blazed on tv, or before a huge crowd, but working quietly, yet profoundly, many times.
One must conclude, that the Holy Spirit, still brings the power, gifts and will of God Our Father to His children .
The real question that needs to be answered here, is not wether the Holy Spirit still brings these gifts, but which is trully of the Holy Spirit in Jesus Christ is Lord, and what is not.
Paul spoke to testing all spirits, we were cautioned to do so, so that we will not be decieved.
This is the test and question we must keep asking in Jesus Christ is Lord.
Not denying the power and gifts of the Holy Spirit given in Jesus Christ is Lord.

May we all agree in Jesus Chist is Lord, to pray that the truth in this be given, and witnessed to!

God bless.

Hello Lifelike.

- could you please explain how you know you were appointed to the office of prophet (if that is what you mean)?

- what is the role of the prophet today?

lol let the testing begin lol :)

Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex... It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
Albert Einstein

Read more: Albert Einstein Quotes - BrainyQuote

Jesus = savior of world= salvation through grace and profession of faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior= receiving holy spirit = each person receiving personal prophecies (prediction of their future and how they can best serve God and do things for His glory) and can be called a "prophet" = no office or person better than anyone else for it is the HOLY SPIRIT that leads and guides.

ok continue...

Ive been a Christian for 14 years. I was 19 when i had an encounter with God, I alaways believed there was a God, I didnt believe that we could communicate with Him, I knew He heard our prayers, but didnt think He would talk back. At about the age of 16 I got upset with God because I couldnt get my own way one day, and turned from Him. I ended up in jail, addicted to drugs, I was always a good kid but I was so broken and had no real hope of getting healed, other than the next hit, or sexual experience that would make me feel ok. I was out with a friend one night, a 19yr messed up kid, and i was so insecure all night that i couldnt even speak to him, ive never been so messed up. We went back to his place and he began telling me about his girlfriend and some things she was going through, and how hurt she was. I spoke for the first time that night and told him "She just to know that theres someone that loves her." As soon as the words came out of my mouth I realised that the words had not come from myself, and I realised that thats what I needed. And in that moment I experienced the love of God for myself for the first time. And my friend was blown away, it was truly a spiritual moment. I came from a broken home, and was so devoid of the love of God that it was like a refreshing spring in the desert, it literally gave me life. I got up off the bed and we went in to his loungeroom and put on the TV, and i could see evil in different people on the screen. I had no idea what was happening to me, and had no framework to understand that what was happening was i was discernign spirits - which i later learnt is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

After this experience I spoke to my mother, who i knew went to church, and told her I dont know whats happening but i think God is trying to do something in my life. She invited me to church, i responded to an invitation to go up the front and receive Jesus Christ as my saviour and Lord. I was terrified, but responded, and stood before the pastors wife who prayed with me. Next thing I know im laying on the floor, and i can hear the lady saying "come out of hi." i felt myself squirming on the floor, but I felt I was deep down within myself in a dark place. I turned to God and said to Him "God I dont have much, but if you can do something with me, you can have my life." I felt so accepted.

I got up off the floor, and walked out the back of the church and looked up to the sky and staed in wonder. It was like i was seeing the clouds for the very first time. I believe I had been born again.

At this stage of my life i was working at a major casino, and when i returned to work people were amazed at the change in me, my closest friends didnt recognise me, I was converted, stopped swearing, and began talking to them all about God. Funny thing was, is that God was with me. When i spoke I spoke of things i have never learnt, only to find out over time that the bible teaches the same things. I once spoke to a friend for 22hrs over 3 shifts, never repeating myself, talking about the reality of God. I was really bearing witness by the power of the Holy Spirit. I was learning about God from some christian videos mum had given me, and learnt that God heals, and so believing so strongly because of my experience, i prayed for a girl with a wart on her foot and it fell off. I began to see nearly all of the gifts of the holy spirit begin to operate in my life, and heard God speak to me on many occassions, once audibly. I t was a really powerful time of my life.

It was a beautiful start and introduction to God, but i was then taken through some of the most difficult stages of my life as the Lord had me face my deepest darkest hurts and places in my heart. I was introduced to a church on the Gold Coast that was prophetic and very much more alive and deep and real that any church i had experienced before. I have been with them as a committed member now for over 8 years. Ive never had any doubts as to the fact that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today - I saw them in and around me everywhere i went in my Christian experience. But This introduction to the prophetic was a whole new level to anything i had previously experienced. I always knew i was prophetic, and my experience in God was always two sided, I experienced Him in a very real way in my Christian walk. When i shared it was by His anointing and enabling, His Spirit. I saw and felt things, and knew things which is a prophetic trait. But i had just entered a company of people that were much more mature and experienced than myself in the prophetic. I had always know i was prophetic (as all of God's children are meant to become) but never considered myself as a Prophet as in the office. Probably more pastoral or teacher. But i began receiving prophetic words from seasoned prophets at different times and places that were all indicating that i was called as a prophet - in the office of.

Its pretty obvious when your in the environment that I am in that it is God, because the same spirit is moving through many members, one voice, one God. And im at the end of the lesser, the people over me and heavy weights. Its in this church, that I have been recognised as called to the office of Prophet - which is one of the roles of the prophet is to recognised people after the spirit and set them in place in the body. Same with the Apostle. It is a governmental office in the body, it is a headship ministry. There is 3 parts in the process of being set in place as a prophet 1/ called as: There is a call on your life, you go through preparation that God works, and other prophets and apostles will recognise the call on your life. 2/ Commissioning: This is where a prophet or apostle in the office of discerns that God is commissioning you, and you are recognised as a prophet and receive the mantle. 3/ Ordination: this is the point where a prophet is set in place in the body as a prophet - and there are many types of prophet, some are called to a local fellowship, some to a group of churches, some as an international prophet, called to the planet. I was recently commissioned as a prophet, and there is now a responsibility place on my gift, to develop and begin to operate, growing as a prophet.

People have a wrong idea if they think this is an arrogant thing, or see the term "prophet" as a glory to self title. Its a function, in the body of Christ and it is an office appointed by Him. This is a MASSIVE subject and i know your manifesting all over the place and wanting scriptures, which I can easily supply, if i had 6 years to put it all together for you. Zone. But this is probably for someone else and not even for you, so your probably not going to get what you want. And I dont aim to please you, or feel the need to have your acceptance. lol. God has proved Him self in this to me in thousands of ways that His life impacts me. So yea, im not really trying to convert you, but it would be good. God loves you and wants you to experience all that He has for you to experience. To know the hieght, the depth and the breadth of His love, in a personal and experiential way. And I know that you will probaby pick my post apart saying i rely to heavily on experience and not enough on scripture. But let me assure you I live by the word, and my experience could only be possible because He first spoke it and the breath of His Spirit brings it life in my life. Im so excited, not by any office or title or thing other than to know Christ more intimately, and the only way that will happen is when we function as He intended. This is the greatest work every to be seen in the universe: bringing to life a body a bride that is Christ manifest on the earth! When He's done, we will see Christs exact likeness and the fullness of His stature in the earth - and then He will return for Himself in us.

But yes the world will be destroyed by His Wrath. And great trouble will come on the earth - Im not prophesying this, its already written.

Thank You :) Lifelike. I needed some encouragement today. May you stay blessed and if you feel down this song and psalm help me in my times of trouble.

Peace of the Lord be with you. Do not be afraid to speak before the assembly of saints the words God places inside your heart to utter. If you speak speak as oracles of God.

1 Peter 4:11
If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 40

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 I waited patiently for the LORD;
And He inclined to me,
And heard my cry.
2 He also brought me up out of a horrible pit,
Out of the miry clay,
And set my feet upon a rock,
And established my steps.
3 He has put a new song in my mouth—
Praise to our God;
Many will see it and fear,
And will trust in the LORD.

4 Blessed is that man who makes the LORD his trust,
And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
5 Many, O LORD my God, are Your wonderful works
Which You have done;
And Your thoughts toward us
Cannot be recounted to You in order;
If I would declare and speak of them,
They are more than can be numbered.

6 Sacrifice and offering You did not desire;
My ears You have opened.
Burnt offering and sin offering You did not require.
7 Then I said, “Behold, I come;
In the scroll of the book it is written of me.
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.”

9 I have proclaimed the good news of righteousness
In the great assembly;
Indeed, I do not restrain my lips,
O LORD, You Yourself know.
10 I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart;
I have declared Your faithfulness and Your salvation;
I have not concealed Your lovingkindness and Your truth
From the great assembly.

11 Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O LORD;
Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.
12 For innumerable evils have surrounded me;
My iniquities have overtaken me, so that I am not able to look up;
They are more than the hairs of my head;
Therefore my heart fails me.

13 Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me;
O LORD, make haste to help me!
14 Let them be ashamed and brought to mutual confusion
Who seek to destroy my life;
Let them be driven backward and brought to dishonor
Who wish me evil.
15 Let them be confounded because of their shame,
Who say to me, “Aha, aha!”

16 Let all those who seek You rejoice and be glad in You;
Let such as love Your salvation say continually,
“The LORD be magnified!”
17 But I am poor and needy;
Yet the LORD thinks upon me.
You are my help and my deliverer;
Do not delay, O my God.

Remember before Jesus comes the AntiChrist will reveal himself and the saints will be persecuted and killed. the sun will darken and 1/3 of everything will be destroyed. Its in the book of Revelations.

some of the prophecies of people claiming to be prophets claim that Jesus will come on a certain date and I do not think it will be the Jesus of the Bible revealing himself then. I think most likely it will be the AntiChrist pretending to be Jesus.

Be careful.

When Jesus comes the whole world will know and will not need prophets to tell them it is time because you can read revelations and see that the Earth will shift on its axis, 1/3 of the moon will be destroyed, 1/3 of the water will be made undrinkable by an asteroid named Bitterwood and many more signs and unnatural events will happen and people will be HATED who worship JESUS of the Bible and not the Beast who claims to be Jesus returned.

Prophecy still exist in the world and every Child of God should be a prophet, which means they should speak as oracles whenever they speak of God. If you have the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit prompts you to speak then you are speaking "prophecies".

Do not be deceived you must read your Bible, if your words contradict the Bible then YOU are NOT listening to the Holy Spirit....

Ive been a Christian for 14 years. I was 19 when i had an encounter with God, I alaways believed there was a God, I didnt believe that we could communicate with Him, I knew He heard our prayers, but didnt think He would talk back. At about the age of 16 I got upset with God because I couldnt get my own way one day, and turned from Him. I ended up in jail, addicted to drugs, I was always a good kid but I was so broken and had no real hope of getting healed, other than the next hit, or sexual experience that would make me feel ok. I was out with a friend one night, a 19yr messed up kid, and i was so insecure all night that i couldnt even speak to him, ive never been so messed up. We went back to his place and he began telling me about his girlfriend and some things she was going through, and how hurt she was. I spoke for the first time that night and told him "She just to know that theres someone that loves her." As soon as the words came out of my mouth I realised that the words had not come from myself, and I realised that thats what I needed. And in that moment I experienced the love of God for myself for the first time. And my friend was blown away, it was truly a spiritual moment. I came from a broken home, and was so devoid of the love of God that it was like a refreshing spring in the desert, it literally gave me life. I got up off the bed and we went in to his loungeroom and put on the TV, and i could see evil in different people on the screen. I had no idea what was happening to me, and had no framework to understand that what was happening was i was discernign spirits - which i later learnt is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

After this experience I spoke to my mother, who i knew went to church, and told her I dont know whats happening but i think God is trying to do something in my life. She invited me to church, i responded to an invitation to go up the front and receive Jesus Christ as my saviour and Lord. I was terrified, but responded, and stood before the pastors wife who prayed with me. Next thing I know im laying on the floor, and i can hear the lady saying "come out of hi." i felt myself squirming on the floor, but I felt I was deep down within myself in a dark place. I turned to God and said to Him "God I dont have much, but if you can do something with me, you can have my life." I felt so accepted.

I got up off the floor, and walked out the back of the church and looked up to the sky and staed in wonder. It was like i was seeing the clouds for the very first time. I believe I had been born again.

At this stage of my life i was working at a major casino, and when i returned to work people were amazed at the change in me, my closest friends didnt recognise me, I was converted, stopped swearing, and began talking to them all about God. Funny thing was, is that God was with me. When i spoke I spoke of things i have never learnt, only to find out over time that the bible teaches the same things. I once spoke to a friend for 22hrs over 3 shifts, never repeating myself, talking about the reality of God. I was really bearing witness by the power of the Holy Spirit. I was learning about God from some christian videos mum had given me, and learnt that God heals, and so believing so strongly because of my experience, i prayed for a girl with a wart on her foot and it fell off. I began to see nearly all of the gifts of the holy spirit begin to operate in my life, and heard God speak to me on many occassions, once audibly. I t was a really powerful time of my life.

It was a beautiful start and introduction to God, but i was then taken through some of the most difficult stages of my life as the Lord had me face my deepest darkest hurts and places in my heart. I was introduced to a church on the Gold Coast that was prophetic and very much more alive and deep and real that any church i had experienced before.

There is 3 parts in the process of being set in place as a prophet 1/ called as: There is a call on your life, you go through preparation that God works, and other prophets and apostles will recognise the call on your life. 2/ Commissioning: This is where a prophet or apostle in the office of discerns that God is commissioning you, and you are recognised as a prophet and receive the mantle. 3/ Ordination: this is the point where a prophet is set in place in the body as a prophet - and there are many types of prophet, some are called to a local fellowship, some to a group of churches, some as an international prophet, called to the planet. I was recently commissioned as a prophet, and there is now a responsibility place on my gift, to develop and begin to operate, growing as a prophet.

People have a wrong idea if they think this is an arrogant thing, or see the term "prophet" as a glory to self title. Its a function, in the body of Christ and it is an office appointed by Him. This is a MASSIVE subject and i know your manifesting all over the place and wanting scriptures, which I can easily supply, if i had 6 years to put it all together for you. Zone. But this is probably for someone else and not even for you, so your probably not going to get what you want. And I dont aim to please you, or feel the need to have your acceptance. lol. God has proved Him self in this to me in thousands of ways that His life impacts me. So yea, im not really trying to convert you, but it would be good. God loves you and wants you to experience all that He has for you to experience. To know the hieght, the depth and the breadth of His love, in a personal and experiential way. And I know that you will probaby pick my post apart saying i rely to heavily on experience and not enough on scripture. But let me assure you I live by the word, and my experience could only be possible because He first spoke it and the breath of His Spirit brings it life in my life. Im so excited, not by any office or title or thing other than to know Christ more intimately, and the only way that will happen is when we function as He intended. This is the greatest work every to be seen in the universe: bringing to life a body a bride that is Christ manifest on the earth! When He's done, we will see Christs exact likeness and the fullness of His stature in the earth - and then He will return for Himself in us.

But yes the world will be destroyed by His Wrath. And great trouble will come on the earth - Im not prophesying this, its already written.
thanks LifeLike.
awesome testimony.
my conversion had the same kind of "scales falling from the eyes" as it were; everything looked different immediately. many evidences of the nearness of the Lord, interventions and all.
and the vigour and vibrancy. it's all familiar:)

i appreciate the detailed answer.
i am not picking apart your post....i asked about the office of prophet, so if i could i wanted to ask about the following:

But i had just entered a company of people that were much more mature and experienced than myself in the prophetic. I had always know i was prophetic (as all of God's children are meant to become) but never considered myself as a Prophet as in the office. Probably more pastoral or teacher. But i began receiving prophetic words from seasoned prophets at different times and places that were all indicating that i was called as a prophet - in the office of.

Its pretty obvious when your in the environment that I am in that it is God, because the same spirit is moving through many members, one voice, one God. And im at the end of the lesser, the people over me and heavy weights.

Ive been a Christian for 14 years. I was 19 when i had an encounter with God, I alaways believed there was a God, I didnt believe that we could communicate with Him, I knew He heard our prayers, but didnt think He would talk back. At about the age of 16 I got upset with God because I couldnt get my own way one day, and turned from Him. I ended up in jail, addicted to drugs, I was always a good kid but I was so broken and had no real hope of getting healed, other than the next hit, or sexual experience that would make me feel ok. I was out with a friend one night, a 19yr messed up kid, and i was so insecure all night that i couldnt even speak to him, ive never been so messed up. We went back to his place and he began telling me about his girlfriend and some things she was going through, and how hurt she was. I spoke for the first time that night and told him "She just to know that theres someone that loves her." As soon as the words came out of my mouth I realised that the words had not come from myself, and I realised that thats what I needed. And in that moment I experienced the love of God for myself for the first time. And my friend was blown away, it was truly a spiritual moment. I came from a broken home, and was so devoid of the love of God that it was like a refreshing spring in the desert, it literally gave me life. I got up off the bed and we went in to his loungeroom and put on the TV, and i could see evil in different people on the screen. I had no idea what was happening to me, and had no framework to understand that what was happening was i was discernign spirits - which i later learnt is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

After this experience I spoke to my mother, who i knew went to church, and told her I dont know whats happening but i think God is trying to do something in my life. She invited me to church, i responded to an invitation to go up the front and receive Jesus Christ as my saviour and Lord. I was terrified, but responded, and stood before the pastors wife who prayed with me. Next thing I know im laying on the floor, and i can hear the lady saying "come out of hi." i felt myself squirming on the floor, but I felt I was deep down within myself in a dark place. I turned to God and said to Him "God I dont have much, but if you can do something with me, you can have my life." I felt so accepted.

I got up off the floor, and walked out the back of the church and looked up to the sky and staed in wonder. It was like i was seeing the clouds for the very first time. I believe I had been born again.

At this stage of my life i was working at a major casino, and when i returned to work people were amazed at the change in me, my closest friends didnt recognise me, I was converted, stopped swearing, and began talking to them all about God. Funny thing was, is that God was with me. When i spoke I spoke of things i have never learnt, only to find out over time that the bible teaches the same things. I once spoke to a friend for 22hrs over 3 shifts, never repeating myself, talking about the reality of God. I was really bearing witness by the power of the Holy Spirit. I was learning about God from some christian videos mum had given me, and learnt that God heals, and so believing so strongly because of my experience, i prayed for a girl with a wart on her foot and it fell off. I began to see nearly all of the gifts of the holy spirit begin to operate in my life, and heard God speak to me on many occassions, once audibly. I t was a really powerful time of my life.

It was a beautiful start and introduction to God, but i was then taken through some of the most difficult stages of my life as the Lord had me face my deepest darkest hurts and places in my heart. I was introduced to a church on the Gold Coast that was prophetic and very much more alive and deep and real that any church i had experienced before. I have been with them as a committed member now for over 8 years. Ive never had any doubts as to the fact that the gifts of the Holy Spirit are for today - I saw them in and around me everywhere i went in my Christian experience. But This introduction to the prophetic was a whole new level to anything i had previously experienced. I always knew i was prophetic, and my experience in God was always two sided, I experienced Him in a very real way in my Christian walk. When i shared it was by His anointing and enabling, His Spirit. I saw and felt things, and knew things which is a prophetic trait. But i had just entered a company of people that were much more mature and experienced than myself in the prophetic. I had always know i was prophetic (as all of God's children are meant to become) but never considered myself as a Prophet as in the office. Probably more pastoral or teacher. But i began receiving prophetic words from seasoned prophets at different times and places that were all indicating that i was called as a prophet - in the office of.
