How much stock do you put in prophecy?

[Malvaro]

How about prophecies made about your ministry or the direction of your life??? Do you think of them as road-signs "silently" guiding your life or milemarkers "confirming" what had been previously said?

I, of course, believe that prophecies are still for today.... and could be right or wrong depending on who said them.... what are some guidelines that you use in deciding whether to write them off or not....

I have 14 shares.

I have never had a "word" spoken to me. Having been raise in the UPC and having seen it happen to many around me, I wondered why I never had one. I was in a service were a man of God was ministering. I felt the power of the Spirit. Toward thhe end of am alter service he motion for me to come over to him. "Finally" I thought, a word for me. As I leaned in to hear what he had to say he said "Could you please go get me a cold drink of water". On my way to get it I had to laugh.

I remember we had a man at our church that was often used in this gift. the service was powerfull and he was calling people out and ministering one on one with so many.

this was in the middle of the time when I was really making decisions about the direction of my own ministry. My prayer time alone was a real struggle and I felt absolutly lost. I was begging God for a "word" .

This guy would walk past me, look at me and keep going. ????????

what was that all about. eventually he went to my mom and spoke to her about me... but not to me.

I went to dinner one night with the evangelist and we talked some. He told me God told him that I would have to figure it out for myself. now aint that sumpen.

I knew I felt a kindred spirit in you.

Prophecies as in foretelling or preaching with fervency?

I only accept a prophecy toward myself if God has spoken to me first...he then confirms it through the man of God in prophecy.
