Good day Beloved of God in Christ Jesus and welcome to another new day. Glory to God for the gift of life.
Here is Part 486 of our series of studying and understanding the Bible.
Let’s me quickly round off the study today on signs to show you are treading the path of a Prophet.
12. If you notice you always speak against injustice, deceit or evil in order to prevent people from falling into their traps, then God is definitely preparing you for a great assignment. It means He has already given you the ability to discern errors to discern evil things going on around you and to speak against it boldly.
This category of people are usually misunderstood and they are not usually appreciated. Only those who are filled with the Spirit of God and walk in the truth understand them. All the Apostles of Jesus fall into this category, including all the Major and Minor Prophets in the Bible.
We also have many examples in our dispensation. They were hated, persecuted, and majority were even killed just for speaking out for the truth.
13. Another sign to pay attention to is that there are some people created by God as watchers and this category of people automatically become Prophets since they are born with the gift. How do you recognize a watcher?
Let’s start from Old Testament examples:
2 Kings 5:26 And he said unto him, Went not mine heart with thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants?
The above verse was about the story of Gehazi collecting the gifts his master Elisha rejected from Naaman. He chased after him, lied and collected the gift.
He didn’t know Elisha saw every move he made. Elisha saw everything real time, just like when you are watching movies.
Another example of watcher is Prophet Habakkuk
Habakkuk 2:1 I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
Let’s quickly touch the New Testament. Apostle Peter is a typical example:
Acts 5:1-3 But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession.
[2]And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles’ feet.
[3]But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land?
Peter saw everything from the time they were plotting their scheme to the point when they were discussing with Peter.
Some people are reading this post now and you have been a watcher all your life and probably didn’t know. This is the time you should, unlock it, develop it and grow in it, use it to bring people to God through Christ in order to advance the Kingdom of God.
Pay attention to babies crying during unusual times of the night and nothing is wrong with the baby – no pee, no poo and no underlining sickness whatsoever. When all these are ruled out, then majority of such babies are watchers. Since they can’t talk, the only way to alert the whole house is to cry. Those in the spirit should know that the baby is indirectly telling them to wake up and pray. Such babies end up becoming Prophets as they grow up.
If you are sitting and discussing with a watcher Prophet and you notice he constantly says “say that again, please” or “sorry? Repeat that please” in order to hear what you are saying, don’t blame him, he is no longer with you physically, he is already seeing things in the spiritual realm.
Some may be interesting, and some may not. That is why they don’t say everything they see. And that’s why majority of them don’t attend ceremonial functions or visit people, except to go and minister or go to work.
If what they see does not glorify God or edifies people, they will rather keep quiet. Some things are revealed only for personal information/knowledge.
14. Generally speaking, every Believer is a Prophet. But not every believer can operate in the “Prophetic Office” and not every believer is ready to pay the price, to unlock it and to grow in it.
Unfortunately, many believers don’t really see themselves as Prophets. They only love both the gift and the office but are not ready to take the preparation journey.
We are all called to be Prophets. It is the degree or extent that differs. God has enabled every Believer with that supernatural capacity through the Holy Spirit to hear God speak and to communicate back. To make this communication effective, the Holy Spirit uses the Word of God.
This is why every Believer must be humble enough to study the Word and know how to rightly divide it. This is crucial. Any Prophet that refuses to settle down to study the Word of God will lead his followers astray.
Always remember this that The Word of God is A Major Tool For All Ministry Gifts and Offices and so, it must be rightly divided.
Stay tuned and stay blessed in Christ Jesus.
