God wrote no rule book on what and who a prophet was, let alone how he can or cannot receive his message!

Some people while in a meeting hear the Holy Spirit speaking inside and utter what they heard in the Spirit. My daughter started using her prophet gift when she was 14. She see as it were a Scroll unroll out of the spirit realm...and see reads off what is written on the scroll.
There is nothing "cookie cutter" about the spiritual God's gifts.
Sure He wrote that book. We have the testimony of Scripture showing what happens to prophets in vision, and Satan is not allowed to counterfeit this. It's why the newer versions of the Bible DISTORT those verses which describe the state of being of a prophet in vision - to hide the Biblical criteria from view so that people ignorant of this Biblical criteria won't be able to recognize whether the one in "vision" is really a true or false prophet.

this is not amazing at all, sounds more like a "California physic" routine or scam set-up. so where are you going to take this story to next, now that you have made these people aware that you have access to the "spiritual realm"? you have expressed that in your opinion the bible is a interpretation therefore isn't really true, or verbatim or what God actually said or meant, in your opinion it really isn't what God said, but your daughter now she's got the real thing, right? am I following this set-up correctly? isn't this what the serpent did in the garden? that's not what God said and what God really meant was bla bla bla.

If what her daughter prophesied is in line with scripture it indicates she has one of the gifts of the Spirit given to her.

And that's no bla bla bla.



and your examples are? IF is a big word, you know.


and this information is being presented by one who has expressed that the bible is a interpretation therefore isn't really the true verbatim or what God actually said or meant, which is what the serpent did in the garden, isn't that so?

Why are you so negative?
It's obvious you don't believe in the gift of prophesy.
That's fine.

But don't grieve the Holy Spirit by nagging this issue.

what's it to you? prophets or prophecy is according to scripture, and certainly isn't according to those who don't believe scripture is the documented Word of God where it applies. just how dumb are we supposed to be to believe some one that says they know a prophet or know what a prophet of God is, and say the prophets of God in scripture are an interpretation. that my friend is what cons say and do, again sounds like a "California physic".


if nurturing whatever is more important to you then the truth of God, then that's on you, it doesn't anyone else would please the Lord their God to do so because you think they should.


and its you who say its about Holy Spirit, that certainly don't mean it is, does it?

also I wasn't talking to you in the first place, was I? if bygrace wants to answer for her own statements she knows how.

What do you know about By Grace's daughter?????
You are judging a person you don't even know.

Thanks to you that lady (ByGrace) did not come back to the forum.
You act like this in church also? Chasing people out by insulting them?

Have you read the Bible, my friend? It has many things that as written might appear to be like a "California physic" routine or scam to the casual reader. If you are waiting for what you consider undeniable evidence before you believe any testimony a person gives, you might as well throw your Bible away too.

Jesus spoke these words to a doubter who wanted to touch the wounds in his hands and side before believing:

"... Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John 20:29

Would you so easily throw away your blessing because you are unwilling to step out in faith?

not buying, also, they are in the bible therefore proven by the witnessing that is trusted and believes.

again, in this case the witness expressed that in her opinion the bible is a interpretation therefore isn't really true, or verbatim or what God actually said or meant, it really isn't what God said, but her daughter now, she's got the real thing, this is what the serpent did in the garden? and again she is saying that the prophets in the bible are just an interpretation, but yet she's a witness of a for real prophet? nope, sorry, there's a tell here.

I think that you do not know the lady very well and you certainly don't know much about what she believes. Sometimes it certainly is better to remain quiet than to possibly speak wrongly or accusingly of that which you do not know. So then, don't believe it, but keep it in your own head and/or heart rather than speak so definitely in the negative.

I have known @"ByGrace" for well over ten years and she is one of those in whom I have confidence even though we certainly do not agree on every point.

no, you don't know what she has stated already to me, of which I have told you of, ok? you assume you know that I don't know. I can read what a poster posted, its not hard. and I don't have to explain anything to you, do I?

and again nurture on a nurture site for nurturing if you want to nurture good feelings. but there's no sin I standing by the truth of God or the bible. there are many places and services for those with issues of self esteem. and there are many nice people in the world but that doesn't mean anything in reference to the truth of a matter.

again she knows how to answer for her own statements if it please her to do so, otherwise what's your point? really?


and besides this thread is about what makes a prophet? of which I addressed according to her statements.

I don't think its about how bygrace might be feeling today because something she said was brought into question and viewed in a OMG negative light. maybe you should start a thread on that if you are so concerned.

You have no business judging her daughter who's not even on this forum.
And you don't know her.


I have the right to address anything posted here don't I? especially since I started the thread and the subject matter is about what makes a prophet. if you don't want someone's daughter to be subject matter on a website then you should've posted it, oh yea you didn't post it. so you don't even have reasonable say in that either do you? of which my posting is about the poster not the daughter.

so if you have the right to address posting on conversations that doesn't include you, and you didn't bring up the subject of someone's daughter, then what was it you are saying I don't have the right to do?


what are you one of those who sees only what agrees with them should be spoken? are you campaigning for censorship in a free speech society?


this is a forum website open to the public don't give information if you don't want anything said about it.

I'm defending somebody who has been unjustly accused.
You accuse somebody of being a false prophet, but you have not heard her prophesies and you never met her and don't know her.
Is that so hard for you to understand?

Bad mouthing people you never talked to or don't know is uncalled for.

WOW you say you are a self appointed one. websites like these bring out all kinds. let see there's no effort on your part to show that there is anything to validate that the comment isn't true.

what are you defending, the right to comment on what is posted that is the subject? (about prophets) whether it be correct or incorrect, agreeable or disagreeable. or are trying to impress people of your new found self view of being righteous? under the pretext of being a victim.


or are you promoting the; lets all be victims this way we can be perceived as being righteous because we all know tv teaches us that being a victim makes people righteous in the eyes of the world. all we have to do is look like a victim whether it be true or not. philosophy.


again the subject; what makes a prophet, and the comments you have a problem with, are just that, about what makes a prophet, which by default includes the concept of what doesn't make a prophet, and what should or should not be trusted in the acknowledgment of a prophet.

you find the comments disagreeable, and now you what it to be a victim issue for your own purposes, correct?
