Ugh... always the same old argument. Ok, I'll play. Tell me what your interpretation of Joel 2:28 is. Was it completely fulfilled, or is its ultimate fulfillment still future tense?
John 19:30 KJV
[30] When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
This is my interpretation.

Until He returns, there is still plenty to be fulfilled. Or do you believe the Book of Revelation has all been fulfilled as well?

But since you answered yes to the first question, my next question on that line is: Has Joel 2:31 been fulfilled?
Sorry to hear you see Him as being gone.


Yes!

YES! And it actually ought to be group effort in trying to discern what the Spirit is saying. It's the same thing with prophecy (1 Corinthians 14:26-30).

I have zero problems with others participating with me in interpretation. But like with scripture, I get very exacting about it, so many don't want to participate. I'd rather more people interpreted with me, however, because we'd get to the bottom of things more accurately. But I think that starts with at least believing God can and will speak through dreams and visions today. Maybe the fact that so many question that is why so many others dare not speak up.

I don't share my prophecies because, well God shows me visions of things to come and speaks to me. And many have come true, but I get deceived also and some have not. If I ever become sure of a thing, then I will share it.

Once I shared that there was an earthquake coming, and I put it in this forum. Someone mentioned that sometimes earthquake means turmoil. And I had a vision that the road waved up and down from the quake several times. And it was bigger at the end.

I then had 5 staggered medical problems that kept me from my morning walks, but in between I was able to go for walks.

Then I had a back issue and God appeared after crying out for help: Jesus the Christ in vision, and said there is going to be three earthquakes on the northeast tip of Japan. And there appear one after the other three earthquakes (I watched on the realtime USGS earthquake map). And then a forth he said in the southeast, and there it appeared within hours again. And a 5th he showed me a crown off an area just east in the middle. And I waited and nothing, but it was late so I fell asleep and then appeared when I woke up a big one. And when I asked why he was showing me these quakes he said it is a sign of your back problems and that he was building a mountain over there. I took it to mean mountain of salvation.

I didn't understand for a while, then it hit me, look up my meds and see if my back cramps were a side effect. The med I take daily was in fact made in Japan. One of the rare side effects was back pain. So I lowered my dose and guess what, I was then able to get up and out of bed after 3 months of not being able to.

It was a personal revelation. Anyways long story short, I have a-typical cystic fibrosis, and I just had a visit with my university medical specialist. He indicated the back problems could be a combination of the CF and the meds I was taking. So now I have hope and doing much better.

Because even the Scripture is just dead ineffective letter without the involvement of the Holy Spirit, the Pharisees, because the Holy Spirit was not involved in their interpretation of their Scriptures, their view came from the flesh and not from the Holy Spirit.
Oh so wrong!! The Word of God is not dead, nor ineffective!!

Hebrews 4 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹² For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. ¹³ Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.

The word translated "quick" is this...

G2198 Greek: ζάω Transliteration: záō Pronunciation: dzah'-o ---------- Description: a primary verb; to live (literally or figuratively): Translation: life(-time), (a-)live(-ly), quick. KJV usage: live (117x), be alive (9x), alive (6x), quick (4x), lively (3x), not tr (1x), misc (2x), vr live (1x).

The word translated "powerful" is this...

G1756 Greek: ἐνεργής Transliteration: energḗs Pronunciation: en-er-gace' ---------- Description: from ἐν(G1722) and ἔργον(G2041); active, operative: Translation: effectual, powerful. KJV usage: effectual (2x), powerful (1x).

“So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.” — Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)

The word translated "prosper" ...

H6743 Hebrew: צָלַח Transliteration: tsâlach Pronunciation: tsaw-lakh' ---------- Description: or צָלֵחַ; a primitive root; to push forward, in various senses (literal or figurative, transitive or intransitive); break out, come (mightily), go over, be good, be meet, be profitable, (cause to, effect, make to, send) prosper(-ity, -ous, -ously). KJV usage: prosper (44x), come (6x), prosperous (5x), come mightily (2x), effected (1x), good (1x), meet (1x), break out (1x), went over (1x), misc (3x).

Glory to God Almighty! LoL.

See, this is why people who have heard from God personally through such things just kinda roll their eyes at the naysayers who want to debate it. It's like, "Ok, I can either believe you and maybe get my back pain back, or stay pain free and keep trusting God," LoL.

Very pleased to hear your testimony : ) My only question atm the moment is how you've been around here so long and I didn't know you believed so strongly in the gifts. Strange how that happens, but I've seen it happen with some others around here as well. Read their posts for years and all of a sudden it dawned on me they were Charismatic or something.

Well this thread is relevant I suppose. I have been keeping my beliefs somewhat to myself as I get tired of people calling me crazy or a liar, people even accused me of being on drugs.

The fulfillment was acknowledged of His apostles in the acts.


If you want to have a serious discussion on things, answer questions for real. No offense and I'm good, but don't BS me with answers like that. If you have something to say, say it. Saying nothing and quoting nothing is NOT an answer and you know it, so stop playing games with me or I'll get pissed. I have more respect for you than to do that, so return the favor next time.

Me too! I know how you feel. I just changed churches, because I pray in tongues/believe in dreams from God and things. That helps. Not many "spirit filled" churches who believe it is for today.

Just buried my father two days ago, I understand everyone here would love a shot at raising him from the dead, but I don’t know why.

Sorry to hear about your father.

Someone is coming to our church in november who has raised 23 people from the dead. That is not everyone though.

I'm still deciding which church to join, God told me once, if it's of God good will come of it. And I've noticed for me that as I watch daily Mass with the Catholics my temptations are less and avoided. When I don't watch that day not the same case. I'm wondering if it's just a Christian thing and I can get that from other churches though?

And, just curious, where do we see praying in tongues in Scripture? I have never seen any evidence of that without taking things grossly out of context.

Alright, this sort of half-a$$ed answer is going to set me off, and that would not be the Spirit of God, so I will be bowing out at this point with you.

I don’t know how it could be any clearer, he’s saying look guys this is prophesy fulfilled.
Acts 2:16-17 KJV
[16] But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
