The gift of prophecy doesn't always mean that one is a prophet.
Are you then saying that the gift of Healing doesn't always mean that one is a healer?
Are you then saying that the gift of teaching doesn't always mean that one is a teacher?
explain please?
Now here is the problem with this generation when it comes to the gift of prophesy. This generation teaches that if a person has the gift of prophesy that just means they can interpret prophesies that are already written in the Bible. Tell me, someone who has the gift of knowledge would have the knowledge to interpret the prophesies that are already given, yes? Yes. Prophesy, is the ability to foretell what is to come. i have the gift of prophesy not because i know what is to come, i have the gift of prophesy because God has revealed to me what is to come, it is that revealing to me, that makes me His prophet.
Dan_2:28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these;
Amo_3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
One won't have to declare it. Others will do that.
Where is it written that you can't reveal it? NOWHERE. That is what man teaches, not God. What? Should i be ashamed that i am what God made me? Nay, i am not. And i will tell you the TRUTH, i have never proclaimed that i am a prophet, nor is that something that i say freely. But when someone, like you did your own self, ASKS me if i am or am not one, then i will not lie, and tell you the TRUTH, despite the reaction that i already knew would come from this generation if i did so. But i am not ashamed, and am telling you the TRUTH.
You could be a prophet in the making, and your time to step into this will come.
i was a prophet in the making when i was in my mothers womb, and she prayed to God that she would dedicate her firstborn child to God. She was reading the Bible to me, even before i was born. (She was called to be a Nun, she fell in love with my dad, and did not do what she was called to do, so she prayed to God that she would dedicate to Him, her firstborn son, and here i am). i was in the making when i was having all those many conversations with God, even as one does, like talking with another on a phone. 1994 He stopped talking with me. What i teach is the things that He told me during the time i was as you call it, in the making.
Also, what we who are born again and baptized in Spirit is, is becoming a Son. Sheep follow.
Sheep are suppose to follow, That is TRUE. Just because a person is a sheep, does not mean they automatically follow His voice. Sheep are prone to stray. Sheep NEED a Sheppard.
But this generation is like unto a sheep that is alone in the wilderness, and that sheep claims that they belong to Jesus Christ, yet Jesus is no where around and His Voice they do not hear, and that sheep remains in the wilderness, lost, but thinking they are SAVED. Walking in the wilderness aimlessly, not having a clue as to where they are going or what they are suppose to be doing, devoid of the TRUTH, even though they claim Jesus Christ is their Sheppard.
