If he will stop and turn back now, I will heal him and save his life. He immediately repented, and his life was spared. Someone who didn't know that the Lord would speak in this manner might have spoken out the word of coming death because of the vision and given the hearer no hope of a future.
All those who would have heard would have said surely this person is a mature prophet for they spoke of the man's death, and it came to pass. Whereas a prophet a little more familiar with the Lord's ways would have sought to spare the man's life, and if others had known about the prophecy of this man's potential death, perhaps would have been called by others a false prophet because the man lived and did not die.
I can remember once at the very beginning of my ministry I called out a word of knowledge about a healing. A woman came up and received prayer for the issue I named. After the service she found me and asked me if she was healed and if she could quit taking her medicine. I asked her how she felt, knowing that if she was healed of the particular thing she came up for she would know it immediately.
She said great. So I foolishly told her that she could discontinue her medication. After a short time the angel that had escorted me behind that veil to dine with the Old Testament prophets came and escorted me out of the room and to another room, hidden behind a blood red veil. Behind this veil was another dining room table.
Seated at this table were the New Testament prophets. Again I was in awe but I immediately noticed that the presence behind this veil was not nearly as weighty as the presence behind the other.
I was immediately able to bear this presence and could have stayed as long as I wanted without trouble. I asked the angel why this was so. He instructed me that the New Testament prophet does not bear the same weight as the Old because each believer now has the Holy Spirit in him or herself.
The Lord now expects the believer to live by the life and direction of the Holy Spirit rather than the prophet like the Old Testament believers had to do. Especially after entering in behind the second veil and finding less of my Father's presence I wanted with all my heart to remain behind the first veil, but I knew that I couldn't.
I couldn't because of my own limited capacity and because the lesson was complete with what I had been given, so it would not be permitted. Because the New Testament prophet carries a lesser weight of responsibility the Lord chooses to refine them in the presence of the Church instead of off in some cave somewhere where they are unknown to all but Himself.
As a result, he uses the refinement of His prophets as a tool to further refine His Church. This teaches us to keep our eyes on Jesus and not on man. Further, it teaches us to love authority even when they miss it and to cover the prophet in love while they are being refined and purified by the Father in our presence.
It is much more difficult for all of us this way. It is very humbling to the prophet to miss it. Further, the more mature the prophet is the more they grieve over any injury that may be done to the Church if they give a false word.
As for the Church we have to keep putting our love blankets out there to cover the failures when all we wanted to begin with was a pure word. So, it is difficult for everyone, but the Lord is ever patient and wise, and His ways are perfect. And we learn to trust Him through it all.
There are I believe a couple of different ways a prophet can miss on a word. First, might be that he may hear many other prophets giving a word for a specific time and feel in his heart that it is a good word, so he joins them believing that he and they are all giving a pure word from the Lord. Something similar happened to me a couple of years ago. I had sought the Lord diligently about an issue that many were prophesying about. Everyone I heard said this event would occur.
Still I believed it would not and that is what I told everyone. Then one day I either listened to a tape or read a memo from a very trusted prophet that concurred with everyone else saying this seemingly inevitable event would in fact happen. So, I thought I must be missing it if he is saying it is going to happen, I must be off. I sought the Lord again. That night I had a vision saying, "Tell My people to have the faith of Abraham.
Following that I began to read up on many reasons why it would by necessity occur, the chance of avoiding it was all but impossible. I watched Christian T. So I published an article trying to help people deal with the coming woe. It was more a teaching article than prophetic, however, it had enough prophetic dialogue that people construed it as such.
When it didn't occur I felt terrible. I didn't know who I might have hurt, I was in agony. Again I wanted to leave the ministry. I couldn't understand why I allowed myself to be swayed even by the very respected prophet, who incidentally changed his mind some time later, I just didn't know that. With much prayer the Lord was able to encourage me to stay in the ministry and learn the lessons. Many months later the Lord told me in a vision that He allowed me to be wrong on this issue.
He said, "As hard as it was for you to be humiliated in that manner, you are a better person today for it. I don't miss it often but it seems when I do it never ceases to be utterly painful. I am sure I felt what Ezekiel felt when the Lord reprimanded him for missing it.
A second way a prophet might miss it is by interpreting a Word the Lord has given. The Lord may give a vision or dream or simply a word. The prophet might give the word then attempt to explain it by giving his own interpretation. A wonderful elderly man who is a prophet and highly respected in the body of Messiah, said recently, the only time he misses it is when he tries to interpret the word of the Lord. The Lord once showed me in a three-part dream that the mature prophet will not miss the mark ever.
I don't know if we have any in that category today in America. That is the mark of a mature prophet, he is always right in the prophetic word. The Church may not necessarily realize that every word is correct for one reason or another.
But the mature prophet will no t miss it ever! I once gave a word about the great evil spirit known as Basilisk. I prophesied about many calamities that he had planned for a certain year.
Shortly after publishing that prophetic word I was invited by a group of intercessors to join them to intercede for America against this spirit. We opened the invitations up to the nine-targeted states hoping to get qualified intercessors from each state to stand in the gap for their particular state. As it turned out each of the nine states were heavily represented but one. That one state which was North Carolina was not at all represented. So we all spent the weekend in worship, repentance and intercession on behalf of the nine states.
As a result the eight states that were represented were all spared the calamities for which they had been targeted. North Carolina experienced a hurricane that year that nearly wiped out an entire city. The estimated damages were in the millions. So, the one state that was not present had no protection against the beast.
However, because there was no crop damage done to the other states I was accused of being a false prophet. When I brought the hurricane damage done in North Carolina to the attention of my accusers and shared that it was the only state that did not attend the weekend of intercession, they were silenced. The mature prophet sits under a strong discipline from the Lord to insure that his heart will stay humble enough to stay pure.
He either has or will go through many rough roads of chastening by the Lord to keep his eyes centered on the Lord's glory instead of his own, thus the Lord can afford to use him in that manner. A mature prophet will walk in an uncommon love, and the fruits of the spirit will be markedly manifest in his life and ministry. The Man and His Message. First and foremost they live in splendid isolation in prayer before the Father. Because they live so close to Him, they are men and women who know the heart of Yahveh.
They know his heart and live to protect and defend it. They live in absolute obedience to Him. They have gone through the boot-camp of intense training in the area of obedience and will suffer great hardships to honor the Lord's ownership of them.
Paul speaks of the very heart of the mature prophet when he writes:. From now on let no man trouble me [by making it necessary for me to vindicate my apostolic authority and the divine truth of my Gospel], for I bear on my body the [brand] marks of the Lord Jesus [the wounds, scars, and other outward evidence of persecutions - these testify to His ownership of me]!
Galatians Amplified Bible. Today's mature prophet, like the prophets of old, live in an uncommon consecration to the Lord. He is their love and their life, whether married or unmarried they are married to Him. This sort of devotion requires a rugged and uncompromising individualism. The Lord once showed me in a profound vision th at the personality of the prophet can be seen in Esau. They are marked by a rebellious individualism but honest in their own sort of way.
Nita would like all to think she deserves the glory. Be warned of these false concepts, which subtly lead away from the truth. I wonder what Ms. Johnson would have to say about Jonah, who fled from his duty of warning Nineveh, was compelled to fulfill it, and then was angry with God for saving the entire city. Did Jonah have authority in Nineveh? Her spirit and words tell us she is far from the Kingdom of God.
She has failed to make it in because humbled harlots and drunkards elbow their way ahead of her. Did Saul have humility to receive authority? If Saul was finally humbled, was it his work, or was it something God did with him, in spite of himself? I would think of the Bible and all I would want to do was rip it up because it was His Word and He was in my way which grew and grew until I was in so much pain I was weeping and pleading to God to break that in me.
Question: How is it that one can be filled with hatred for God, yet be in much repentant pain because of it and plead with the One she intensely hates to break it in her? It is the Son Who speaks to the believer. Where does one find any reference of God speaking to believers concerning His Resurrected Son? Was it through much prayer and humility that Moses delivered Israel? Do we become God ourselves when in deep prayer and humility? This seems to be what Nita is implying, albeit unwittingly, I suppose.
James declares that the fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much, pointing out that Elijah was a man of like passions as we, and he prevailed in prayer. God declares man to be in a wretched state. Nita presumes that we can take upon ourselves the privilege and power of God by our own will and strength though I expect she would say otherwise. What a burden on the conscience! But do not do according to their works; for they say, and do not do.
But they will not move them with one of their fingers. They make their phylacteries broad and enlarge the borders of their garments. You have to walk in humility, meekness and you can only do that if you are a person of prayer. Meekness comes through a prayer life; the knowledge of God comes through prayer life.
