How short was short? Did it flash before your eyes? Did you go into a trance like Peter did in
Acts 10:10? Or was it just a flash? Was it in black and white or in color?

Like Jesus seeing Nathaniel under the fig tree
John 1:48.

My grandma had just died and we had all gathered at my dad's house. My dad has a small farm with a couple horses, a cow, chickens, and even a couple goats! I had gone out back to see the animals and be alone because me and my grandma were so close, and I was missing her."
I'm a city boy, I didn't even think it might be a "farm". LOL

Yet, unlike Jesus you didn't explain to her that seeing her at her PeePaw's farm wasn't as epic as she believed. But far greater things God would show her through....YOU?

Yep, I was told once that prophets didn't know the Bible very well, I thought that was utter stupidity back then. Sadly I see that mind set is still imbedded in Churchanity.

Now this is where Churchanity really picks up steam. Sort of like Sweet Tooth from Twisted Metal meets Barney the Purple Dinosaur. Modern day prophets say stupid things that don't come to pass to show how carnal they really are? In this way their words will not be elevated to the level of Biblical scriptures?
SMH!

Well, well, well, here comes Mr Hater.
I see, this is the old Apostolic doesn't know anything routine. Where it is proclaimed, "since I'm no longer an Apostolic I know all the secrets of Joe Smith's top hat and glowing green stones. Step right up boys and girls, allow me to lead you all from Hamelin right into a rock wall.

The interpreter is anointed to "feel" the meaning behind the utterance and is called to put the meaning into words that can be understood. And of course, this means that the accuracy of the interpretation might be limited to the interpreter's biblical knowledge, vocabulary, etc. This again, keeps any utterance from being considered as authorative as holy writ.

You got all that from
1st Corinthians 14? Wow, this type of malarkey would scare anyone to venture far from the Apostolic front door.

While that gets people's attention, it isn't entirely what was conveyed by the Spirit. Obviously God felt the need to share with our brother that things regarding this past election were not going to be like every other election.

Good God from Zion!
Hoss, you just explained that God uses lying embellishers to bring forth the prophetic? That is pathetic.

Sorry, but Elijah mocked the false prophets, upstaged the false prophets, and then killed the false prophets. False prophets are mocked, because they're a mockable, plain and simple Doc.

No, they are to be called on the carpet. They are to be taken to task for pulling everyone's chain. They are to have the finger pointed into their face and told they are wrong, and they didn't hear from God. I have watched utter imbeciles tell saints of God all sorts of foolishness. Good trusting souls who almost lost out with God and man because they listened to some nincompoop who told them something which stirred their heart but fogged their mind. A minister had a prophesy about Florida sinking beneath the ocean. Told people I know to leave. I told him I love him, but he needs to keep his mouth shut, and don't tell people to do anything. Was I wrong? No, because we are still on dry land. This was years ago. Still no alligators in my living room. It is heartbreaking to see people do the most destructive things because some self glorifying Bozo wants to be thought of as a great one.

Tell you what, abandone trying to prove you can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. That's being honest, just call a spade a spade, Arcovio dropped the water melon, it's that simple. You trying to make a case for his blunder just makes you look odd.
