I disagree on the grounds that it gives you the tone of what is coming even if it isn't literal. I say this because I have had prophetic dreams where the emotion of the dream was very precisely replicated in the physical at a later time though all the details were different. For example, I...

I believe it is largely metaphorical and most of it future, though some is past, some may be starting to get fulfilled, and some of it is ongoing (ex. The letters to the churches). There is a compelling case for the stars being about the state of the constellations when Jesus was born. For more...

Of note, I once encountered an angel that at least appeared as a woman. It fit a pattern at the time where God seemed to be correcting my internalizing of my father's error of dismissing mine and all women's capabilities for certain skills (ex. mechanics, finance) and 'she' looked to be a...

I had a similar experience. I knew Enoch was quoted in the book of Jude, so when I saw something on TV referencing a copy of his book having been found and produced, I immediately went and ordered it off the internet. When I read it though, it didn't feel reliable. Like you I particularly noted...

My mom saw a cathedral in Sitka, AK burn. She says the hydrants were all frozen so the firefighters got water from the sea. I haven't heard of the firefighters doing that in Cali. I wonder why - Have we just not heard of it or is there a reason they aren't doing it there? Also, it's sad but a...

Yes, and there is even more to it then getting a person off balance. God gave my fellowship a specific warning not to let just anyone touch your head because it opens the door to spiritual transfers, good and bad.

I believe in the gifts of the Spirit, but I personally would run away and ask God to remove any ill effects from what you describe. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 14:32-33: "The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets. For God is not a God of disorder but of peace—as in all...

Multiple times. When I graduated high school, I panicked because I had no job and no money to go to college and asked God for help. A week later I had a tuition waiver for my first year and a $500 scholarship to pay for my books. I also got my first job that month. As a young adult, I got an...

As someone who loves to dance so much that God led me to a job teaching ballet, I can dance to most anything. I don't know that I would single slow hymns out, but I probably wouldn't turn it off if Amazing Grace or similar popped up while I was dancing.

God led my fellowship to make preparations for disaster. It isn't that He wouldn't find a way to provide anyway if one can't, but it can be helpful to have some things you like around, and part of God's provision is warning.

Honestly most of the time I don't really think about what one is being saved from in specifics, but when I do think about it, I see it as multi-layered. Yes we are saved from condemnation, whether that is death or hell (a related but perhaps slightly different question), but we are also saved...

I wanted to understand the physiology of how my digestive system works. I thought ghrelin had something to do with it but it turns out that gurgling in my belly is related to the percentage of women in engineering?

I don't know about any of your sub-questions, but you seem to be leaving God out of the equation on your main question. While life insurance and leaving an inheritance likely have their place, ultimately it is up to God to provide. I mean I am a single woman who lived with another single woman...

May God bless you with some good Christ-following friends and mentors when the time is right, but I have a feeling that maybe God wants you to get to know Him and your Bible for yourself first. All Christians have errors and preconceived notions about who God is that they end up passing on. It...

I hope I'm not sorry for trying this again. I still don't have full peace about the devastating incident that drove me away, but God made me a voice and it is also a heavy burden not to have enough places to exercise my gifts. Praying for repentance, eventual restoration, and for myself, a...

My family used to have a notebook for such things. We lost it a long time ago, but these days the entries would be too numerous to bother with.

I don't seem to be able to do that either, but there are people called to be prayer warriors. The Spirit gives out the gifts as He determines (1 Cor. 12). Maybe you and I just didn't get that gift.

First off, I grew up in a church that didn't practice tongues, and didn't really bring me up to believe or even be aware of the gifts, but my older sister and I both ended up attending the local Christian college that is Pentecostal. God therefore used that college to introduce the gifts to my...

I'm skeptical, but since I just finished watching a special on it I thought I would share a few notes. First off, they DNA tested it and got mitochondrial DNA that shows the maternal line. It was Druze, not Jewish. The Druze are a tight-knit religious population that have a presence in Israel...
