I don't like gifts of the spriit being used as party tricks whether it's sticking a microphone in someone's face while they are speaking in tongues, blowing on people to make them fall over, or trying to publically 'predict' future events. What is the purpose of posting on the internet that God may have told you who would win an election without even a godly candidate involved?
Just lame.... and I really, really, really like Jay or my words might have been stronger than that.

Oh yes I certainly do. Not that Im trying to reach a goal or something. Its just that when God does something "unusual" in my life, a prophetic dream, a leading of the spirit, or an answered prayer I do write it down.
The reason being two fold. I don't want to forget it. Israel sinned because they FORGOT the works of YHWH. They did not let it sink in just HOW CLOSE he was to them.
Also I can draw strength from them when needed. Say Im in a hard trial that tests my faith. I can look back and remember how gloriously he has manifested himself to me.
Maybe I have not had any specific manifestation of him for 6 months. I can sit down and read the things he has already done giving him thanks and praise being confident that what he has done he will do again.
So I never started out counting these things but as they multiplied over the years I did put numbers on them so I can greatly rejoice in his favor/grace.
My sorrow is this should be fairly normal for disciples of Yeshua not something strange.
