I don't have much confidence in prophecy or giftings in the charismatic ranks,
Apostolics have more cred .

But not much, it seems. I know people that believe you should give the word... and if you’re wrong, at least you’re practicing your gift.

Mmkay...

I remember the first time I gave a word to a young man. I was 18. The urgency to give this word was like fire shut up in my bones. Closer to the real meaning- not some heat going through your body due to the ‘nointing. But, I digress.

I walked to my friends house. The urgency to give the message was even greater. He began to speak and say things that hit on what I had to say to him. Which confirmed to me that I wasn’t following my own leading. So, I began to speak the word... and as I spoke a sentence or two, I’d get another thing to say. It came in bits and pieces until it was put together like a puzzle.

Pretty interesting experience.

But, I’d NEVER just practice my gift as a word from the Lord and be wrong.

Watch it again. Look at Reed’s face as Roth tells Chris all the random things he got right. Are we to believe true prophets got an Oh boy look on their face when the correctly prophesied? When events came to pass they said “wow, I got that right!” Asking me if I know a name, proves what to me if the asker has no clue about that name. Also, what’s up with Hawaiian shirts?

Roth says that Chris sent him a video?
Is Chris his own PR man?

Oh boy.

One more interesting thing. Chris’ face when he speaks.
He better stay out of an integration room. Also make sure he doesn’t have anyone schooled in body language in his audience.

Aside from Chris who would you think among Apostolics? I always enjoyed hearing David Terrell on the radio back in the 80's. I even heard him prophesy several things one night that came to pass in a few days.

Then years later when I mentioned that on this forum I was told he actually was just a false prophet living in sin. Not saying at this point that judgment is wrong just that I never saw a BIG NAME Apostolic preacher who seemed to be a prophet.

I do know Apostolic regular people who have or have had dynamic prophetic gifts so Im not saying there are no prophetic gifts. I have experienced them many times over the years so for that I am very thankful.

Bro Michael, I have no one particular in mind. I would distrust receiving a word from anyone who wasn't an apostolic brethren, or who I dont know.

There are brothers on this forum who I would trust to speak to me.

As far as Chris Reed, Im curious about him because people I know respect and follow him
