The purpose of the op was to discuss something else, are we any near to this yet, or should I start another thread or can we start to discuss this. Or must we scrutinize that children also refers to the spiritual in the bible, I know I can find scripture to back this up. But I'm not here to prove myself right.
In here to discuss this. Can we discuss it
Signs that Christians have the spirit prophecy.
Signs that Christians do indeed have the spirit prophecy.
Starting with the first 4 claims of the op.
You desire deep intimacy with God. You have a deep prayer life.
(Hebrews 13)
6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?”
7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.
8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so.
10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.
You hear God speak to you in many of the ways in which He speaks to the prophets.
4. GOD SPEAKS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT
“But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you” (John 14:26).
Always seeking to hear the Lord on situations. Prophets always looks for what God has to say
Is not my word like fire, declares the LORD, and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces? (Jer. 23:29)
For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. (Heb. 4:12)
You have premonitions or received information from the Lord on future events that you’ve seen come to pass.
Warnings (such as Pharoah’s dreams in Genesis 41 warning him to store up food to prepare for a coming famine)
Helping people who in need (such as Paul’s dream in Acts 16 urging him to go to Macedonia, where people needed to hear the gospel)
Both the Old Testament and New Testament describe a variety of prophetic dreams. Those dreams sometimes provide information about individual people (like Abimelech’s dream about Sarah in Genesis 20 and Pontius Pilate’s wife’s dream about Jesus in Matthew 27) and sometimes give information about future historical events (such as Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in Daniel 2 and Daniel’s dream in Daniel 7).
