What's in the blank is irrelevant to my question, but you would be able to read it, if it helps determine whether it came from God or not. And my question is this:

If you found that paper, would you be able to know if God really said what it says?
Generally I have found that when I hear the Lord speak something to me, it usually involves giving up something of my flesh that I love, and don't want to let go of. Generally when I understand the Lord to be speaking to me, it is in prayer, and it is something that my flesh does not want to do.

Tell us.
well, that seems different than the gift of healing, to me? But it strikes me that Timmy's guy was ignorant of both, in this case.

True believers have had access to the Holy Spirit since Pentecost: it is the
Holy Spirit that truly opens up the scriptures and gives one understanding
of God's will and the spiritual realm.

You once more: "if the essence is misunderstood, all... translation in the world
would not help one anyway".The essence can only be misunderstood sans the
Holy Spirit. "For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God."
an excellent restatement, tho i might argue that seekers have always had access to the Holy Spirit. And yes i am aware of the verses that might indicate otherwise.

Re: You find a piece of paper....

ok and i voted 'yes,' which is kind of disingenuous prolly, as it currently manifests as the ability to silently declare "nope" @ others' proclamations of burning bushes; although i am open!

but really, we have a canon that reveals God's Word to us; which would make me, at least, consider long and hard before i came out with any "God told me ________."

Please explain how that applies to the subject of the thread.

Yes, that could be classified as a prophetic utterance!

Did you receive that prophecy about someone coming home?

A prophet in the ministry must necessarily have the "gift of prophecy";
but the "gift of prophecy" does not necessarily place one in the
office of a prophet.

In fact, if they're saved, natural death guarantees their healing.

Just because they rejected the Messiah doesn't mean that the Messiah didn't come.
He wasn't healed.
