A Quick Outline To The Practice Of Personal Prophecy And Its Purpose.
Possibly the most highly debated practice within the present day Church is that of personal prophecy. The purpose of this practice is held to be how people can fully comprehend the kind of life that God wants them to lead. Indeed it has been widely argued that this practice has enormous effects regarding the edification and exhortation an individual can potentially experience.
In reality of course, humankind is liable to make errors of judgement; sometimes simply due to the limitations of language. God’s word is therefore said to be clearly heard through this practice and that will help to minimize any possibility of such errors. However, the practice remains widely criticized as being way over spiritual; in fact it is regarded by many as being blatantly ‘New Age’.
Nonetheless there exist many tales within the Bible which appear to give credence to this practice. The first recording is found when God revealed to Adam that he will perish after he had taken fruit from the forbidden tree. In the New Testament, there are similar examples such as, for example when Joseph and Mary were known to have received ‘prophetic words’ whilst they were in the temple.
At a basic level this activity is quite similar to talking in tongues. This is because they share the common aim of being beneficial to the individual alone. However, in reality it can appear in many guises. For example some relate how they felt the words bubbling up in them from within. Others tend to receive the words through visions.
This practice, however, is mean’t not for teaching purposes. Rather it is quite strictly restricted to individual guidance. In actual fact very little teaching (if any) takes place during such sessions.
The process of receiving this gift is not necessarily limited to the initial encounter with a prophet. Words can also be channelled through dreams or visions. Nonetheless some work will be involved in making oneself ready for such a gift such as, for example, regular prayer and scripture studies.
In summary, personal prophecy is regarded as being a special gift from the Lord that is intended for the use of people in both self-definition and fulfilment. The fact is, whether one agrees that it is a vital part of one’s growth or not, the practice has been around for just as long as we have.
A stronger connection with the spiritual component of your mind is possible through personal prophecy and meditation. If you need a prophetic word for counseling or comfort, check out the web pages.
