Re: Prophetic word by Bro Arcovio "no election"

I was once talking to a woman who came to me because she felt God had abandoned her. As I spoke to her I had a short vision of her standing by a fence petting horses and goats, and other animals. I said, "God is with you always. He was even with you at the petting zoo." She looked at me bewildered and said, "Petting zoo? I've not been to any petting zoos." I said, "That's strange, the Spirit just showed me a vision of you standing by a wooden fence petting a number of animals." Her eyes became very wide and she said, "That was almost two weeks ago. 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

Sometimes a prophetic word isn't crystal clear to the seer or prophet. As God speaks to the "inner man" (the spirit) of a man or woman with a vision or impression, they have to interpret it for expression. And when doing so the individual is often limited by vocabulary, biblical knowledge, preconceived perspectives, etc.

Some often say that this weakens the case for a seer or prophet. Actually, it doesn't. It only leaves room for our humanity. It also keeps any prophecy or vision from being elevated to being as authorative as Scripture itself.

For a people who believe in the gifts, Apostolics are often woefully uninformed or unlearned about how they work, how the gifts feel, and how to explain them.

For example, interpreting tongues. Many fail to realize that it is an "interpretation" not a "translation". This is why you can have 15 seconds of tongues and an interpretation that takes 5 minutes. Or you can have two minutes of tongues.... but the interpretation only take 30 seconds. It is an "interpretation". 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.

Sometimes men who walk in the prophetic try to "jazz up" the visions or impressions they have. Instead of saying, "The Spirit is impressing upon me that there is going to be something wrong with this election.", they'll say, "God told me there will not be an election!" 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.

Lastly, a prophecy is often mocked until it is examined in retrospect.... sometimes years after the fact. Let's not be too hard on a man willing to risk looking a fool to share what is impressed upon him.

Let's be honest. This election was so wonky... the first of its kind in history... the general tone or meaning of this prophecy might not be that far off the mark. Our brother might have been sensing the fact that this election wasn't really an "election" as they were intended to be according to the Constitution, or that there might be grounds to invalidate it.

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.

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.

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

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.

Yeah, when everyone is dead, especially the joker who made the prophesy.

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.
