Do you follow prophecy?

#prophecy #trumpprophecy #electionresults #biblestudy #falseprophetsDid you know that NOT ONE OF THE PROPHETS SAW COVID? Yep! Should that end our trust in these so-called prophets? You have the same anointing as they do. Don't believe us? Go to 1John 2:26-.Mary and I were in many Charismatic churches.  The more we have learned how to study the bible and respond to God, asking Him to help us change to His will, we are moving away from the teaching of Charismatic churches and researching what we grew up having been taught.  It is a breath of fresh air that Dr. Goepfrich, who was not in Pentecostal or Charismatic churches, has a tough time understanding "our thinking" and this provides us with great fodder for our discussion. He cautions heavily against listening to these prophets. I would not caution: We go further.  We would say RUNNNNNN! Read your bible instead. We say, in "Charismatic circles," that the bible is our foundation. But sadly, this is not true in practice.  We tend to look for experiences, trust our experiences, put too much weight in leaders we thought are more "spiritual" than we,  and looked for "words from the Lord" through men? Is this the right thing to do? The bible has a lot to say about  false prophecies and their effect on God's people. What is the effect, you may ask? That we are led AWAY from seeking the Lord for OURSELVES. That is scary, isn't it?  Jeremiah 14 discusses false prophecies, and especially Jeremiah 23, prohibits us from speaking for the Lord. And that makes sense as we are only human, frail and sinful. But can we have confidence in our God that He spoke the Universe into existence, and made each one of us? Is God on the throne of His creation? Of course.  Dr. Goepfrich relates with us his views from Scripture. He said this, and I paraphrase: "I do know this...when we open the Bible and let it speak to us, we are on the safe ground". The Bible is objective truth. Bible study company will always be in the "Reformed Charismatic" camp. Meaning, that like in the reformation of church history, the Christians went back to the Bible. Seeking revival? It starts in our hearts when we study God's word to live praiseworthy to Him.  Get Dr. Daniel's books: https://amzn.to/3kBpnW5Get his teachings: https://www.oaktreechurch.com/Theologyisforeveryone.com  and you can join for freeFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/theologyisforeveryone
