Blain: I stand guilty of having done this earlier in the week. I felt
strongly in my spirit God had a word for someone. I tried to ignore
it, and the Word tells us to test the spirits. I finally gave in and posted
it in MISC. and that was end of it. I did get a PM in response to it.
I did not say "God told me, " but I think I explained I felt He wanted
someone to know ~ Does that make me bad, I wonder ? I just wanted
to admit you did miss this before someone began to point it out. I am
not in habit of doing this. But I am sure you understand the Lord impresses
something strongly, we are going to pursue it. God bless ~

I would rather err on the side of being right, than be wrong and
not follow through. We must remember God gives each a different
calling as He wills. I am probably the most difficult person He has
created, to speak out when He impresses something to be shared.
I truly try to be cautious. I don't have a 'hot line ' to God and claim
to have a word for people. Please don't misunderstand me. Ahhh,
that's okay. I understand ~ Blessings ~

if you don't have a hotline why are you daring to claim He said something at all?
there's no new revelation.

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world” (I John 4:1).
In this verse believers are commanded to “test the spirits to see whether they are from God.” This same command is echoed in other parts of Scripture as well. For example, in 1 Thessalonians 5:20-21 we find Paul exhorting the Christians to not “despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good.”
These two passages are just a few of the many that warn Christians to test the message that people or spirits proclaim. This is true in all situations but most importantly when a person or spirit is claiming to speak for God. Christians are to be discerning hearers and readers of all messages. The reason for the admonition to “test the spirits” or “test all things” is that there are “many false prophets” or “wolves in sheep’s clothing” that try to lead Christians astray. Sadly, there are many people who claim to speak for God who are presenting a false gospel that is powerless to save. Such errant teaching leaves people with a false hope of salvation and, in a way, inoculates them from the true message. People who are deceived into thinking everything is fine will be more resistant to the truth.

Zone, you do not know if God speaks to me or not. You just refuse to believe he does and that is that. do you truly know me? are with me all the time? do you know what goes on in my life and heart? since you do not you cannot say what I hear or don't hear you can only make assumptions. that is like me ignorantly saying you are a bad person when I do not know you heart only God does.
He has spoken in His Word.
which you don't appear to care to study.
most of what you say conflicts with what He already said.
Okay Zone before I go watch my movie please post all the things I say that conflict what he says. because if I recall correctly I speak very often of love in many of my posts, and I admit when I realize I am wrong and I admit to be being a sinner and I admit to sometimes misunderstanding scripture.
Consider what I say...
You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier in active service entangles himself in the affairs of everyday life, so that he may please the one who enlisted him as a soldier. Also if anyone competes as an athlete, he does not win the prize unless he competes according to the rules. The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops. Consider what I say, for the Lord will give you understanding in everything.
For the Lord gives wisdom; From His mouth come knowledge and understanding.
I passed by the field of the sluggard
And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,
And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles;
Its surface was covered with nettles,
And its stone wall was broken down.
When I saw, I reflected upon it;
I looked, and received instruction.
“A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to rest,”
Then your poverty will come as a robber
And your want like an armed man.
But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name’s sake. It will lead to an opportunity for your testimony. So make up your minds not to prepare beforehand to defend yourselves; for I will give you utterance and wisdom which none of your opponents will be able to resist or refute. But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death, and you will be hated by all because of My name. Yet not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your lives.

Concerning that pretrib/midtrib/posttrib rapture business, millenium, and so on...
Looks to me like God says that the people who He reveals the stuff to will not speak of it directly and in detail, but indirectly, and when to do it.
In these two places
"Seal up what the seven thunders have uttered, and write them not."
and
"Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand."
So I think if God really speaks to someone about that book, He'll only speak to people that know better than to spoil it for the others.

2Pe 1:17 For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2Pe 1:18 And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2Pe 1:19 We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2Pe 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.
2Pe 1:21 For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Scripture is a more sure word than any voice one hears.
There have been some that have killed, or should I say murdered people because 'god told' them to do it.
Just because someone hears a voice, doesn't mean it is of or from God.
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Just fine, brother, thank you for asking. Not on here often, though. Way to much to do.
I will proof that not ONE SINGLE PERSON HERE ON CC OR ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, DOES NOT HEAR FROM GOD... NOT A SINGLE ONE....
IF there is ANY person that says to me .... I do not hear God, or NEVER heard HIM, I will call him a LIER TO HIS FACE.... Just because you lack knowledge does not give you the permission to spread LIES about God...
There is not a sngle person alive in this world that CANNOT HEAR GOD.... Every man or woman, that lived after Jesus heard God. EVERY ONE! IF you do not know how God speaks to the WHOLE WORLD, ASK I will proove it in the Bible...
Who can show me that the VOICE OF GOD IS TALKING TO EVERY PERSON IN THIS WORLD... EVERY ONE... whether you are the biggest sinner or a born prohet with the Holy Spirit in you from the moment you leave your mother's belly. like John the Baptist.... GOD SPEAKS TO EVERY PERSON....
Who can show me the Scripture that confirms this? There is one particular Scripture that shows God's grace to ALL PEOPLE in the world.... AND HIS VOICE IS INCLUDED IN THIS.... HIS VOICE, not yours or mine or John's or Peter's or Paul's .... HIS VOICE... And there is no doubt it is HIS VOICE. Why? Because NOTHING GOOD COMES FROM US, ALL GOOD IS FROM HIM.
Every PERFECT GIFT IS FROM ABOVE... FROM FATHER GOD...
If you do not know how God speaks to every person ASK I will show it in Scripture... And I will not argue about this, and I will not sin to get into arguments about God's Word... If you do not understand, I will walk with you untill Jesus reveals it to you.
Another thing God tells me frequintly.... PATIENCE COBUS PATIENCE...And I learn from it.... How am I EVER going to be perfect, without God? How am I ever going to ne appointed by God to perfect the saints, if I do not OBEY GOD.... So please share the Scripture that says God TALKS to every person in this World...
