How much stock do you put in prophecy?

[Sister Alvear]

I believe in prophecy...but I do not base my decisions on prophecy...I listen carefully, pray about it and generally wait for what my heart tells me to do. If it is of God things come to pass...I do not believe all missed prophecy is of the devil! There are many factors involved in prophecy.
I have seen people lose out with God running after so called prophets. There must be balance in everything.
Much of the Bible is prophecy...some things have come to pass oter things are future.
I believe in the gift of prophecy...but like anything else it has it's place.
I was associated with some "friends" that really wanted to take over the Brazil work...They gave us a prophecy...we did not do what the prophecy said for us to do because we felt it was from the wrong spirit and time has proven us right...
Be very careful when dealing with prophecy...God can speak and God does speak but He does not go against His written word, the Bible.
Not bragging, but I have been used in the gift of prophecy on certain occasions but I do not feel I am a prophetess. Once in a meeting without realizing what I was doing, I spoke and said, someone here will die tomorrow...we all fell in the alter...the next day a young man that was in the meeting fell dead at work.
I dreamed about a certain preacher and in the dream the Lord spoke to me about a sin in his life and unless he repented he would die...I went to him...he laughed but within weeks he was shot...His wife bent over the coffin crying keep saying over and over, OH! if you would have only listened to the missionary..."
The spirit of the prophet is subject. "Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. If a revelation is made to another sitting by, let the first be silent. For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and all be encouraged; and the spirits of prophets are subject to prophets. For God is not a God of confusion but of peace."(1 Corinthians 14:29-33a RSV)

I have no faith in "bathroom and parking lot" prophecies... but there is the Real thing...and we must have enough spirit of God to know the difference...and enough humbleness to harken to the voice of God but one thing for certain God does obey His ORDER set up in HIS word...
