Understanding The Christian Prophetic Guidance

By Marylou Forbes


In instances when followers long to have a life full of the grace of God in a Christian like manner, they require to know the things that God need them to do. In Christian prophetic guidance, these aspects are brought out in a biblical manner. Jesus Christ while on earth gave pastors, teachers, apostles, prophets and evangelists so that that could serve in the church.

It is important that even before the guidance on matters of prophecy develops, Christians should understand the different ways in which they can see what Lord is doing. These could include through visionary dreams, instances of recognizing heavenly appointments, the scriptures and its teaching as interpreted by the men of God, prophetic means such s intercession, words, ideas, supernatural knowledge, among others. When believers receive a revelation that seems visionary in nature, this means that it is the Holy Spirit revealing things that could not have been known through natural means.

When revelations are received by means of the Holy Spirit, followers are expected to listen to and obey the prophesy. When people create an appropriate relationship with the Maker, it should be maintained by expressing the love of God to the world at large. Prophets are charged with the responsibility of confirming what an individual heard from the Holy Spirit. This means that any person has the capability of receiving divine powers of the Holy Spirit.

When Jesus Christ was in the world, He taught people on what God requires of them using illustrations. The illustrations used were simple and natural and brought out in a manner that people could relate without much struggle. In this same way, those passing the visionary messages should do it in a very natural manner for easier comprehension.

Insights on divinatory nature should be put into test, for example by asking if they agree and relate to what the Bible says, if responding to that guidance will have positive impacts, if its in line with the nature of the Father, among other questions. Believers ought to participate in church community. This is due to the fact that God created us so that we can realize our purpose and use it to serve the society in ways that are pleasing to Him.

While engaging in evangelizing, hose involved are supposed to keep it simple. This can be realized through conducting simple things such as enthusiasm in committing to prayer those people faced with various needs. As this is done, being accountable is required because it aids followers to continue making use of gifts they possess. Presence of mentors who keep encouraging the followers is important as they are already experienced in this field and thus suitable for offering guidance.

Testimonies are given in order to proclaim the goodness of God in every aspect of day to day activities. Therefore, believers should ensure that they develop the best relationship with God and share of His goodness to the entire world. By doing this, life flows extremely well.

It is upon believers to adhere to the guidance given. They should know that the prophecy gift is not the only ticket of hearing from God. All the children of God can hear from Him and better their relationship with Him.
