Ramon,
zone has a thing about the word prophet, she doesn't like it though I have told her that anyone who has the Holy Spirit and speaks through the direction of God could be considered a prophet but she prefers if no one uses that term prophet because she likes to deny that spiritual gifts exist today, but does not deny that the Holy Spirit works in the world.
I beginning to think it is that the Holy Spirit gives people gifts temporarily for whatever is needed in their lives but the focus should not be on the gifts but the GIVER.
However, if the person becomes prideful and tries to exalt themselves and are not humble but misused their God given gifts to subjugate or mislead their brethren then God might take away those gifts and give them instead a troubling spirit as King Saul was given for disobedience of God in listening to the advice of his human advisors rather than the prompting and orders of the Holy Spirit and sparing the defeated king and keeping treasures from the conquered nation instead of burn them all.
VW, you really should tell people HOW does God use the Bible to direct and guide you?
There are many spirits that will seek to guide people but HOW do you know it is the HOLY SPIRIT and not your own desires or an outside source without the guidance of the written scriptures to test the promptings inside you?
please don't say "the sheep know the voice of the Shepherd" for I'm sure that Satan worshipers know his voice too.
