FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY! 

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by anyone — because YOU ARE your own PROPHET. 

Meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM any PROPHECY blindly — for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures, and sets one FREE. 

FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE! 

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine). 

For a while now, the majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondage in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, who unknowingly are more like FORTUNE TELLERS operating by SPELLS. 

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God, by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to in their vulnerability. 

For God’s GENUINE PROPHET is CALLED and SENT FORTH as a MESSENGER with His message, which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability. 

Firstly, the Scriptures accredit the essence of the PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testaments — Ephesians 4:11-16. 
Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS, and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same. They are contrary across both TESTAMENTS — 1 Corinthians 12:4-7. And unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising the intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT. 

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP: 

The KING — To oversee, protect, and defend in civic governance of the people. 

The PRIEST — To minister to God on behalf of the people. 

The PROPHET — To HEAR and RECEIVE the WORD from Father God for the people. 

And more importantly, none of them, or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD, were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED, AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate the WORD of God as it is today — John 3:3-8, 16-18. 

For the Holy Spirit came UPON these three sects as and when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligation under God. He came UPON them ONLY. He did not LIVE in them. 

And the PROPHET, as per this context, in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR the WORD from God by the Holy Spirit that came UPON them ONLY to minister to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORETELL — FORE-TELLING — in ministerial UTTERANCES. 

And to FORETELL, which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs, and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving the immediate or future purpose of God to His people. 

And in each case God did not leave His people in limbo, but gave direction for their journey to fulfil His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. 

And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE, and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION, which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus — Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25. 

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, THE RESULT AND THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. 

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET, differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. 

And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the right to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no need for a bypass through any person or persons. 

And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT on any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORT, to ascertain if it is of God or not. 

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET is ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL — FORTH-TELLING — in ministerial UTTERANCES. 

And to FORTH TELL is a verb, and it is to tell forth; that is, to publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out, and broadcast the GOSPEL — the Good News of that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION — which result is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION, and COMFORT — 1 Corinthians 14:3-4. Wherein there is no fear, threat, complex, or unnecessary sentiment used to appeal to anyone at all. 

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE, and PROMISE in Christ Jesus in us by the WORD, we need no such ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET — 1 Corinthians 2:9-10. 

Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not to self, ego, and personality — Revelation 19:10. 

And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not submit it to be EXAMINED indicates error, ignorance, pride, rudeness, and self-egoism, and such like — Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29. 

Every PROPHECY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD — Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

It is unfortunate that some sects of ministers have assumed to become PROPHET or to have a PROPHETIC message — whom I call ‘SO CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of not being ardent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREAN Christians — Acts 17:10-13, and are exerting and exercising OLD TESTAMENT prophetic ministerial acts on NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd. 

These dubious acts being practised are unbiblical and unscriptural, and they result in FORTUNE TELLING — FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER. This is the act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods such as sorcery, spells, witchcraft, and the like — Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20. 

This is FRAUD and FALSEHOOD. And many who do not care to READ, KNOW, and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy Spirit have become victims, and are lured into such bondages with all forms of fear and phobias in order to consent to these sentiments. 

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT — to EXAMINE — without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING — Acts 17:10-13, before you commit your life to it. Otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God’s, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION — 1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29.  

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7 

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine). 

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13. 

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20. 

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Ephesians 4:7-16; Revelation 19:10; Isaiah 8:20. Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 10:23. 1 Corinthians 14:36-40. 1 John 4:1-3. 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; 1 Corinthians 14:2-4; Joel 2:28-29; John 7:37-39; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27; Ezekiel 11:19-20; Ezekiel 36:26-27 

SUMMARY: 
The message is a scriptural warning and teaching on FORE-TELLING vs FORTH-TELLING: the difference between OLD TESTAMENT and NEW TESTAMENT Prophets and Prophecy. 
Because Christ has come and the Holy Spirit now LIVES IN us, YOU ARE your own PROPHET. You have the right to EXAMINE and JUDGE every prophecy. Do not be deceived by “SO CALLED PROPHETS” who operate like FORTUNE TELLERS. New Testament prophecy must point to Jesus and produce EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION, and COMFORT — not fear, bondage, or manipulation. 

Key Points: 

  1. YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET 
    1 Corinthians 14:29 — Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE 
    The Holy Spirit LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN TRUTH. 2 Timothy 1:7 — For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 
  2. OLD TESTAMENT = FORE-TELLING 
    The Spirit came UPON them as and when needed. 
    Offices: KING to govern, PRIEST to minister to God, PROPHET to HEAR and RECEIVE the WORD for the people. 
    None were BORN AGAIN or FILLED with the Spirit living within John 3:3-8 — Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. 
    Function: To FORETELL — predict as instructed, to tell the future and God’s plan. 
    Purpose: To lead Israel toward REDEMPTION fulfilled in Christ Jesus Luke 24:44-45 — all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
  3. NEW TESTAMENT = FORTH-TELLING 
    REDEMPTION is FULFILLED in Christ. We are BORN OF GOD, BAPTISED and FILLED with the indwelling Holy Spirit John 14:16-17 — And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; Even the Spirit of truth. 
    We have direct access to God with no bypass. By the Spirit and the Word, one CAN make JUDGEMENT on any PROPHECY 1 Corinthians 14:29 — let the other JUDGE | Acts 17:11 — they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 
    The New Testament Prophet SPEAKS FORTH — to publish, make known, and broadcast the Gospel. 
    Result: 1 Corinthians 14:3-4 — he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT. No fear, threat, or intimidation.
  4. HOW TO SPOT “SO CALLED PROPHETS” / FORTUNE TELLERS
    They exercise OLD TESTAMENT acts on NEW TESTAMENT people. This is unbiblical and leads to bondage.
    FORTUNE TELLING is like sorcery, spells, palmistry, witchcraft Acts 8:9-11 — But there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same city used sorcery | Acts 19:19 — many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together. This is FRAUD and FALSEHOOD.
    Revelation 19:10 — FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY. Any true prophecy will point to Jesus, not to self or ego. 
    THE WORD IS THE FINAL TEST 
    Isaiah 8:20 — To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM 
    2 Peter 1:19-20 — We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED… knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION 
    Be like the BEREANS Acts 17:11 — they searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. 
    1 Corinthians 14:33 — For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace. 

Call to Action 

  1. STIR UP THE GIFT IN YOU: 2 Timothy 1:6 — Stir up the gift of God, which is in thee. Stop depending blindly on men. 
  2. EXAMINE EVERYTHING: No matter who speaks, JUDGE it by the Word before you commit your life to it 1 Corinthians 14:29 — let the other JUDGE | 1 John 4:1 — believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God. 
  3. BE A BEREAN: READ, KNOW, and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD daily Acts 17:11. 
  4. REJECT FEAR AND MANIPULATION: 1 John 4:18 — There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear. Walk away from threats, spells, and fortune-telling. 
  5. DESIRE FORTH-TELLING: 1 Corinthians 14:1 — desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY — to edify, exhort and comfort 1 Corinthians 14:3. 

Final Charge: 
NOW WE HAVE CHRIST. The Spirit is IN you. Test all things. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. Be free. Be informed. Be fulfilled.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT on any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCE of any SORT – to discern if it be of God or not. 

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET is ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL – FORTH TELLING – in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH-TELL is a verb and it means to tell forth; that is, to publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL – the Good News – of that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION, the result of which is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there is no fear, threat, complex or unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all. 

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and WILL in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need none of such ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be open to EXAMININATION indicates error, ignorance, pride, rudeness, self-egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21). 

It is unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or to have a PROPHETIC message which I call ‘SO-CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of not being diligent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA N Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd. 

These dubious acts being practiced are unbiblical and unscriptural and they result in FORTUNE-TELLING – FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER.

THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine). 

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7 

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).. 

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13. 

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20. 

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10. 

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Ephesians 4:7-16; Revelation 19:10; Isaiah 8:20. Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 10:23. 1 Corinthians 14:36-40. 1 John 4:1-3. 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; 1 Corinthians 14:2-4; Joel 2:28-29; John 7:37-39; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27; Ezekiel 11:19-20; Ezekiel 36:26-27; 

SUMMARY: 

This is a doctrinal charge and warning to the Church on how to discern true prophecy and why the New Testament believer is not meant to be deceived by counterfeit prophetic acts. 

  1. THE CORE WARNING: YOU ARE YOUR OWN PROPHET

The opening charge is that you are not to be deceived. Because the Holy Spirit LIVES IN YOU, you have the responsibility and right to EXAMINE, THAT IS, JUDGE THE SPIRIT before you blindly affirm any prophecy. 
Scripture: “Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE” — [1 Corinthians 14:29]. 
Fear has no place. The Spirit in you assures, ensures and sets free. 

  1. THE PROBLEM: SO-CALLED PROPHETS AND FORTUNE-TELLING

Many innocent Christians have ended up in bondage chasing miracles from SO-CALLED PROPHETS. These are not genuine prophets of God. Their unscriptural acts and vices expose people in their vulnerability. 
Their operation is closer to FORTUNE-TELLING — palmistry, crystal balls, sorcery, spells, witchcraft [Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20]. This is FRAUD AND FALSEHOOD. 
People are lured with fear, phobias, threats and intimidation because they do not READ, KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD’S WORD. 
God’s genuine prophet is called and sent as a messenger with God’s message and does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability. 

  1. OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET: FORE-TELLING

Scriptural Basis: The essence of prophet and prophetic ministry is accredited in both Testaments [Ephesians 4:11-16], but their OPERATION, ADMINISTRATION AND MANIFESTATION are not the same [1 Corinthians 12:4-7]. 

OLD TESTAMENT STRUCTURE: 
There were three leadership offices: 

THE KING — to oversee, protect and defend in civic governance. 

THE PRIEST — to minister to God on behalf of the people. 

THE PROPHET — to HEAR and RECEIVE THE WORD from God for the people. 

KEY DIFFERENCE: None in the Old Testament were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE INDWELLING HOLY SPIRIT [John 3:3-8, 16-18]. 
The Holy Spirit CAME UPON them only when needed to accomplish God’s purpose in their jurisdiction. It never LIVED in them. 

FUNCTION: The Old Testament prophet was to FORE-TELL — to predict as instructed, to tell the future before it occurs, and to declare God’s plan for immediate or future purposes. God did not leave His people in limbo; He gave direction for their journey. 
All of this was part of God’s PLAN, PURPOSE AND PURSUIT TOWARDS HUMAN REDEMPTION, which was fulfilled in CHRIST JESUS [Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25]. 

  1. NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET:FORTH TELLING

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS — THE RESULT OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. Redemption is fulfilled. 

KEY DIFFERENCES: 

Indwelling Spirit: Believers today are born of God, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to guide and guard us individually and corporately.
Direct Access: We have the right to access God unhindered, with no need to bypass any person.
Discernment: By the indwelling Spirit and the Word, every believer CAN MAKE JUDGEMENT on any prophecy to discern if it is of God. 

FUNCTION: The New Testament prophet is ONLY IN A POSITION TO SPEAK FORTH — FORTH-TELL. 
To FORTH-TELL means to publish abroad, make known, spread, and broadcast the GOSPEL — the Good News of what Christ has fulfilled in Redemption. 
The result of genuine New Testament prophecy is EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION AND COMFORT [1 Corinthians 14:3-4]. 
There is no fear, threat, complex or manipulation. 

Because we live in the realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL AND AUTHENTICATE GOD’S PLAN, PURPOSE AND WILL IN CHRIST [1 Corinthians 2:9-10], we do not need Old Testament prophetic acts. 
Genuine prophetic prophecy will always point to JESUS, not to self, ego or personality [Revelation 19:10]. 

  1. THE TEST: EXAMINE EVERY PROPHECY

Any prophecy that is not open to EXAMINATION shows signs of error, ignorance, pride and self-egoism [Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29]. 
Every prophecy MUST BE EXAMINED IN THE LIGHT OF GOD’S WORD [Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21]. 
Be like the BEREAN CHRISTIANS who searched the Scriptures daily to verify if things were so [Acts 17:10-13]. 

  1. THE FINAL CHARGE

It is absurd that some ministers are practicing Old Testament prophetic patterns on New Testament believers. These dubious acts lead people into bondage and fear. 
Dear Believer: You have the right in Christ to JUDGE WITHOUT BEING JUDGEMENTAL. If you affirm error, the consequence is yours — God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION [1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29]. 
THERE IS NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT IN NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY. 
“For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” — [2 Timothy 1:6-7]. 
“There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear” — [1 John 4:17-18]. 

THE BOTTOM LINE IN ONE LINE: 

Old Testament prophecy was FORE-TELLING by the Spirit UPON men. New Testament prophecy is FORTH TELLING the finished work of Christ by the Spirit IN men. Test everything by the Word, point everything to Jesus, and reject fear.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To the OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices, they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGERS with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHETS and the PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same meaning, are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister to God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD were BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT; in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God doesn’t leave His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfil His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, THE RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass through any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results in EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by the WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seem to be EXAMINED indicates them to be erroneous, ignorant, proud, rude, self-egoistic and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINED in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHETS or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHETS’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of being not an ardent searcher of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practiced, because they are unbiblical and unscriptural, they result to FORTUNE TELLING (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims to and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT’S PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7.

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21.

Revelation 12:11; Hebrews 10:23. 1 Corinthians 14:36-40. 1 John 4:1-3. 1 Corinthians 14:31-33; 1 Corinthians 14:2-4; Joel 2:28-29; John 7:37-39; John 14:15-17; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:8; Acts 2; Romans 8:14-16, 26-27; Ezekiel 11:19-20; Ezekiel 36:26-27.

DARE TO LIVE AND BECOME BY FAITH

DARE TO LIVE AND BECOME BY FAITH: CREATE NO RECIPE FOR FEAR AND WORRY IN THE DAWN CROWN YEAR!

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“You CROWN the year with Your GOODNESS, And Your PATHS drip with ABUNDANCE. 12 They drop on the PASTURES of the wilderness, And the little hills rejoice on every side. 13 The PASTURES are clothed with flocks; The VALLEYS also are covered with grain; They shout for joy, they also sing” Psalms 65:11-13/NKJV

In this dawn year and month that the Lord has made [Psalms 128:24], it’s your time to consciously and intentionally resolved to live by faith that overcome the world and it’s systems [1 John 5:4-5], and not to live by fear and worry; you have to dare to live and become by faith, because He who RULES and REIGNS in the Kingdom of men is your God. And by Him you can live the CHRISTLIKENESS [Being CHRISTLIKE] that enables you to thrive in BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus stead. Amen. And by redemption we had secured VICTORY and TRIUMPH in Christ Jesus, in God the Father, over the spirit of fear and its effects, in all phases of doing life and living godly.

“Forasmuch then as the children are PARTAKERS of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise TOOK PART of the SAME; that through death he might DESTROY him that had the POWER of death, that is, the devil; 15 And DELIVER them who through FEAR of death were all their LIFETIME SUBJECT to BONDAGE” Hebrews 2:14-15.

You must DARE to start your DAWN life in the dawn year and months that will be evolved, on a very high note. It’s time to DARE all FEAR PHOBIAS by the FAITH that’s born in your inner spirit being, of the grace and BLESSEDNESS of God, that LIVES within you. This is the only way to BECOME and BE what God in Christ Jesus has made you to BECOME in REDEMPTION, especially now in of being CHRISTLIKE – CHRISTLIKENESS in all that pertains to doing life and living godly.

You must ARISE in GRACE upon the STAND wherein you are JUSTIFIED, and then DARE your FEAR with FAITH in God, as inspired, revealed and empowered by the Holy Spirit in the WORD; this stead and stand will enhance your NOW – TODAY and set your TOMORROW ready for an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory ALTITUDE.

“Therefore being JUSTIFIED by FAITH, we have PEACE with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: 2 by whom also we have ACCESS by FAITH into this GRACE wherein we STAND, and REJOICE in HOPE of the GLORY of God” Romans 5:1-2.

Taking the standby grace upon the justified status in redemption by FAITH, is to help ensure and to assure us that FEAR of any kind must submit to you because of your being TRIUMPHANT in EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS; as such, these likely characteristics of fear and its effects, needs to be checked before one is overwhelmed by its presence:

** FEAR is the enemy and cohorts POLICING OFFICER – that is – the policing vehicle of darkness at war to captivate your FAITH of becoming whom God has made you to be.

** FEAR has the enabling tact of robbing one of the potentials and the purpose of accomplishment and fulfilment.

** FEAR creates insecurity, it captivates, robs one of self-esteem, self-defense, self-Worth and dignity.

** FEAR has the capacity to destroy life vision and mission.

** FEAR can cripple and paralyse you, rob you of hope, faith and love in life and godly living. For it intimidates and makes you inferior or with inferiority complex.

** FEAR can eventually lead to the death of anything be it human or projects, relationships, business and such likes.

The only way to police fear and keep fear at bay, that is, where it belongs is by FAITH. FAITH  built on the WORD of God. For FAITH is acting correspondingly on whom and what you POSSIBLY BELIEVE on the WORD of God in Christ Jesus. When you BELIEVE in the possibility that God can make you better and great; and you BELIEVE in the cause and course of God’s WORD to make you better and great: For FEAR will always disappears, whenever FAITH shows up as one that has come to take it’s place in you in full. Know for sure that anytime and whenever Faith shows up, Fear is paralyzed and crippled from functioning.

“Herein is our LOVE made PERFECT [MATURED, COMPLETE, WHOLE], that we may have BOLDNESS in the day of judgment: because as HE IS, SO ARE WE in this world. 18 THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE; BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: BECAUSE FEAR HATH TORMENT. He that FEARETH is not made PERFECT [MATURED, COMPLETE, WHOLE] in LOVE” 1 John 4:17-18.

For FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH in the world of daily fears, worries and insecurity. FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH for the Security and Self-Worth of who you are in God by Christ Jesus. FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH is important, as it’s built upon the LOVE of God that lubricates the operation [Galatians 5:6]. FAITH is the VICTORY to TRIUMPH in order to overcome the fears that’s psychological and emotional in many ways towards us, especially on matters of what to – EAT, DRINK and PUT ON, and such like. And God has dealt to everyone THE MEASURE of FAITH by His GRACE to live life triumphantly and wholly in every way.

“For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 FOR WHATSOEVER IS BORN OF GOD OVERCOMETH THE WORLD: AND THIS IS THE VICTORY THAT OVERCOMETH THE WORLD, EVEN OUR FAITH. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:3-5.

“For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath DEALT to EVERY man THE MEASURE of FAITH” Romans 12:3.

“But unto EVERY ONE of us is GIVEN GRACE according to THE MEASURE of the gift of Christ” Ephesians 4:7.

Just for your assurance in ensuring BEING TRIUMPHANT is assured, that there are over 365 Scriptures of FEAR NOT in the Holy Writ – The BIBLE. And the scriptural assurance of the VICTORY and TRIUMPH over FEAR, thus indicate there’s a more than enough FEAR NOT scripture for each day; therefore, FEAR NOT, that’s the living and soaring spirit of the Eagle to rule and reign in DOMINION and EXALTATION for THE GREATER LIFE in Christ Jesus.

Beloved friend, in Christ Jesus, we had being made FREE from any form of FEAR phobia, by BECOMING human that we might be FREE indeed in Him. DARE NOW TO BECOME BY FAITH in the ASSUREDLY YEAR of BEING TRIUMPHANT IN EVERY PLACE IN CHRIST JESUS according to the SCRIPTURES. I therefore say again:

DARE your FEAR with the FAITH of the GRACE of God wherein you STAND in the same grace JUSTIFIED to have ACCESS to God that LOVES you and LIVES in you. This is the only way to BECOME and BE what God in Christ Jesus has made you BE in His REDEMPTION. Amen!

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“For whatever is born of God OVERCOMES the WORLD. And this is the victory that has OVERCOME the WORLD — our FAITH. 5 Who is he who OVERCOMES the world, but he who BELIEVES that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5.

“For God hath not GIVEN us the spirit of FEAR; but of POWER, and of LOVE, and of a SOUND MIND” 2 Timothy 1:7.

“GIVING THANKS to the Father who has QUALIFIED us to be PARTAKERS of the INHERITANCE of the saints in the light. 13 He has DELIVERED us from the power of darkness and CONVEYED us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have REDEMPTION through His blood, the FORGIVENESS of sins” Colossians 1:12-14/NKJV.

“Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave himself for our sins, that he might DELIVER us from this PRESENT EVIL WORLD, according to the will of God and our Father: 5 to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen” Galatians 1:3-5.

“BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel; for he hath VISITED and REDEEMED his people . .  . 71 that we should be SAVED from our enemies, and from the hand of all that HATE us . . . 74 that he would grant unto us, that we being DELIVERED out of the hand of our ENEMIES might SERVE him WITHOUT FEAR, 75 in holiness and righteousness before him, ALL THE Days OF OUR LIFE” Luke 1:68-75.

Further Scriptural Reading For Meditation: Luke 1:68-75; Isaiah 49:24-26; Isaiah 43:1-7; Ephesians 1:7-8; Isaiah 54:14-17; Luke 12:4-7, 22-32.

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling

FORE-Telling And FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because, you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly  are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGER with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly the Scriptures accredites the essence of PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same, meaning are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister To God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD where BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God don’t live His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfill His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptised and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass of any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results is to EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seems to be EXAMINE indicates erroneous, ignorance, proud, rude, self egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINE in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHET or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHET’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of been not an adent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13) and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practice, because it’s unbiblical and unscriptural, they results to FORTUNE TELL (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear phobias in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

FORE-Telling and FORTH-Telling: The Difference As To The OLD And NEW TESTAMENT – PROPHETS And PROPHECY!

Don’t be deceived and mistaken again by any – because, you ARE your own PROPHET – meaning therefore, that you can EXAMINE, that is, JUDGE the spirit before you AFFIRM the PROPHECY blindly – for the Holy Spirit of God LIVES in you to ASCERTAIN the TRUTH that assures, ensures and sets one FREE. FEAR NOT THEREFORE ANYMORE!

“Let the PROPHETS speak two or three, and let the other JUDGE (EXAMINE)” 1 Corinthians 14:29 (Emphasis Mine).

For a while now, majority of innocent Christians have ended up in more bondages in their curiosity to obtain miracles or blessings from SO CALLED PROPHETS, whom unknowingly are more a FORTUNE TELLER on SPELLS.

I have used the word “SO CALLED PROPHETS” because such are not genuine in respect to the genuine PROPHETS of God by the obvious unscriptural acts and vices they have exposed people to do in their vulnerability. For God’s GENUINE PROPHET are CALLED and SENT FORTH as MESSENGER with His message which does not take advantage of people’s vulnerability.

Firstly, the Scriptures accredits the essence of PROPHET and PROPHETIC Ministry in both the OLD and NEW Testament (Ephesians 4:11-16). Unfortunately, their acts of OPERATIONS, ADMINISTRATIONS and MANIFESTATIONS are not the same, meaning are contrary to each TESTAMENTS (1 Corinthians 12:4-7); and unfortunately, many are exerting and exercising their intents of the OLD TESTAMENT in the NEW TESTAMENT.

In the OLD TESTAMENT there were three classes of LEADERSHIP – The KING (To oversee, protect and defend in civic governance of the people), The PRIEST (To minister To God on the behalf of the People) and The PROPHET (To HEAR and RECEIVE The WORD from Father God for the people). And more importantly, none of them or the people of that TESTAMENT assigned to LEAD where BORN AGAIN, BAPTISED AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT living within, in order to authenticate The WORD of God as it is today – (John 3:3-8, 16-18). For The Holy Spirit comes upon these three sects as of when needed to accomplish the purposes in their jurisdiction of obligations under God. It comes UPON them ONLY. Never LIVES in them.

And the PROPHET (as per this context) in the OLD TESTAMENT was to HEAR The WORD from God by The Holy Spirit that comes UPON them ONLY to minster to God’s people. Hence the purposeful function was to FORE TELL (FORE-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES.

And to FORE TELL which is a verb, means to predict as instructed; to tell the future as instructed before it occurs and to prophesy about God’s intended plan in solving immediate or future purpose of God to His people. And in each case God don’t live His people in limbos but gives direction of travels to fulfill His intended RIGHTEOUS plan and purpose. And God did all the intended doings in the OLD TESTAMENT as a process of carrying out His PLAN, PURPOSE and PURSUIT towards human REDEMPTION which was to be fulfilled in Christ Jesus – (Luke 24:44-45; John 1:45; Galatians 3:23-25).

NOW WE HAVE CHRIST JESUS, RESULTING OR THE CONSEQUENCE OF THE NEW TESTAMENT.

The NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET, unlike the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET differs in many respects. Firstly, REDEMPTION has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus for humanity. And the people of God today are born of God in grace within, baptized and filled with the indwelling Holy Spirit to give guide and guard the respective individual and collective body; and are also given the rights to access God unhindered individually and collectively, with no bypass of any person or persons. And by the indwelling Holy Spirit through God’s WORD, one CAN make JUDGEMENT to any form of PROPHECY or PROPHETIC UTTERANCES of any SORTS, if it be of God or not.

It thus means that the NEW TESTAMENT PROPHET are ONLY in a position to SPEAK FORTH, that is, to FORTH TELL (FORTH-TELLING) in Ministerial UTTERANCES. And to FORTH TELL is a verb and is to tell forth, that is, publish abroad, make known, spread, shout out and broadcast the GOSPEL, the Good news in that which has been fulfilled in Christ Jesus on our behalf in REDEMPTION – which results is to EDIFICATION, EXHORTATION and COMFORT – (1 Corinthians 14:3-4). Wherein there’s no fear, threat, complex and unnecessary sentiments to appeal to any at all.

And since we live in the sphere and realm of the Holy Spirit to REVEAL and AUTHENTICATE God’s PLAN, PURPOSE and PLAN in Christ Jesus in us by The WORD, we need no such like ACTS of the OLD TESTAMENT PROPHET (1 Corinthians 2:9-10). Genuine PROPHETIC PROPHECY of God will point one to JESUS and not self, ego and personality (Revelation 19:10). And anyone who claims to have a PROPHETIC PROPHECY and does not seems to be EXAMINE indicates erroneous, ignorance, proud, rude, self egoism and such like. (Acts 17:10-13; 1 Corinthians 14:29). Every PROPHESY must be EXAMINE in the LIGHT of God’s WORD (Isaiah 8:16, 19-20; 2 Peter 1:19-21).

It’s unfortunate that some sects of Ministers have assumed to become PROPHET or have a PROPHETIC message which I said are ‘SO CALLED PROPHET’. They go about taking advantage of God’s precious people in their ignorance of been not an adent searchers of the SCRIPTURES as BEREA Christians (Acts 17:10-13), and are exerting and exercising the OLD TESTAMENT Prophetic Ministerial acts on the NEW TESTAMENT Believers in Christ Jesus, which is absurd.

These dubious acts being practice, because it’s unbiblical and unscriptural, they results to FORTUNE TELL (FORTUNE-TELLING/TELLER). This is an act of a person who is supposedly able to predict a person’s future by palmistry, using a crystal ball, or similar methods as on sorcery, spells, witchcraft and such likes (Acts 8:1-25; Acts 19:8-20). This is FRAUD and FALSEHOODS that many unfortunately, who does not care to READ, KNOW and UNDERSTAND God’s WORD by the Holy spirit have become victims and are lured into such like bondages with all forms of fear phobias in order to consent to these sentiments.

Dear Believers in Christ, you have the right in Christ Jesus to make JUDGEMENT (EXAMINE) without being judgemental, on any prophecy no matter who SPEAKS or is SPEAKING (Acts 17:10-13), before you affirm your life to it, otherwise, the consequential error is yours and not God, for God is not the AUTHOR of CONFUSION – (1 Corinthians 14:26-33; Matthew 22:29).

THERE’S NO ROOM FOR THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, THREAT, INTIMIDATION AND TORMENT ON GOD’S PEOPLE IN THE NEW TESTAMENT PROPHETIC MINISTRY.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, BUT RATHER THAT YE MAY PROPHESY. 2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries. 3 But he that PROPHESIETH speaketh unto men to EDIFICATION, and EXHORTATION, and COMFORT . . . 26 How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment.

Let all things be done unto edifying. 27 If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it be by two, or at the most by three, and that by course; and let one interpret. 28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God. 29 LET THE PROPHETS SPEAK TWO OR THREE, AND LET THE OTHER JUDGE (EXAMINE). 30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace. 31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted. 32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. 33 For God is not the AUTHOR OF CONFUSION, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints . . .” 1 Corinthians 14:1-40 (Emphasis Mine).

“Wherefore I put thee in REMEMBRANCE that thou STIR UP THE GIFT OF GOD, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. 7 For God hath not given us THE SPIRIT OF FEAR; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” 2 Timothy 1:6-7

“Herein is our LOVE MADE PERFECT (COMPLETE, MATURE, WHOLE), that we may have boldness in the DAY OF JUDGMENT (PREDICAMENT, CHALLENGES, QUESTIONING): because as he is, so are we in this world. 18 There is no FEAR IN LOVE; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love” 1 John 4:17-18 (Emphasis Mine).

“And the brethren immediately sent away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea: who coming thither went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY, WHETHER THOSE THINGS WERE SO. 12 Therefore many of them believed; also of honourable women which were Greeks, and of men, not a few. 13 But when the Jews of Thessalonica had knowledge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and stirred up the people” Acts 17:10-13.

“To the LAW and to the TESTIMONY: if they SPEAK NOT ACCORDING TO THIS WORD, it is because there is NO LIGHT IN THEM” Isaiah 8:20.

“And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY” Revelation 19:10.

“We have also A MORE SURE WORD OF PROPHECY; whereunto ye do well that ye TAKE HEED, AS UNTO A LIGHT THAT SHINETH IN A DARK PLACE, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts: 20 knowing this first, that NO PROPHECY OF THE SCRIPTURE IS OF ANY PRIVATE INTERPRETATION. 21 For the PROPHECY came not in OLD TIME by the will of man: but HOLY MEN OF GOD SPAKE as they were MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST” 2 Peter 1:19-21.
