A Message From A Prophet

Surely the Sovereign Lord does nothing without revealing His plan to His servants the prophets.

 

Amos 3:7

 

God used His prophets in biblical times and even today to reveal His plans in the lives of His people. It is seen all throughout Scripture and is proven over and over in the lives of many of God's people. It is as though God sends out His "scouts" to inform His servants what is ahead for them. Sometimes He does this because He knows the event will require such changes in that person's life and to assure them of His call on their lives. God did this in the life of Moses, as He came to Moses at the burning bush to reveal His purposes for the people of Israel and His call on Moses to free them.

Has anyone ever given you a message that was relevant to your current life circumstances, but which no one else would have known about except you and God? Or have you ever received a specific impression from the Lord that was a message of encouragement for another individual? These are examples of "prophetic ministry" which is a gift the apostle Paul desired all believers to practice (See 1 Corinthians 14:1-5).

Has God placed individual(s) in your life to speak His plans for you? Are your eyes and ears spiritually sensitive so that you will know who the messenger(s) of God are that are speaking into your life? Elisha had a servant who could not see or hear with spiritual eyes and ears until Elisha prayed they would be opened. Then the servant could see the great army of God protecting them (See 2 Kings 6:17). Pray that you might see and hear with the Spirit, as God may desire to reveal His purposes and plans through another individual(s), known as modern day prophets.
