NETTIE-OLOGY
This is what I believe.
I am not a prophetess, a woman who has been called to declare the word of YHWH. A Prophet or Prophetess is called, chosen, to speak what is on God’s mind to say to His children. Unfortunately, today, everyone who calls themselves a Prophet or Prophetess is not one called of God.
1 CORINTHIANS 14:31-33, 37 KING JAMES VERSION
31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.
32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.
33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.
I believe we all have the ability to hear from YHWH. He speaks to us as individuals about our personal life as well as those things that trouble us outside of our homes, but that does not make us a man or woman called to speak to others. Either way it is important to know whatever is heard or spoken must and will be confirmed by Scripture.
The office of Prophecy is very unique and has within it responsibility. I am always concerned when I hear people declare someone is a “false prophet”. The prophecy may be wrong but that does not make the office of the individual false. We need to guard our ears from the words of men and women who do not speak with the authority given by our Creator.
A prophecy will be confirmed with Scripture. As the prophet matures he will learn how to extract his ideology with God’s will, which means he may get a few things wrong from time to time. Unlike in the days of Elisha, a prophet of God, there are no schools of prophet in which upon graduation the men and women become official prophets and can thus part water.
I believe: As our faith grows our gift grows as well.
ROMANS 12:6 KING JAMES VERSION
Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith;
1 CORINTHIANS 12:4-11 KING JAMES VERSION
4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
I BELIEVE: We all have gifts from God, needed to carry out our God given purpose. My gift is writing and my passion is His word thus I write from a biblical mindset. I knew I was “called to write” in 1996. It was around after 2015ish that I heard God call me a His Prophetic Scribe. A scribe is one who writes. Unfortunately, because of their disobedience in the Bible, scribes have a bad reputation. It has taken me years to admit publicly my gift because of what “they” say. I AM NOT A PROPHETESS.
It is important to understand this office now more than ever because their are so many voices on the internet today.
1 JOHN 4:1-3 KING JAMES VERSION
1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
I will not identify a person as a “false” prophet because his or her words did not happen as they proclaimed. I will distance myself from individuals who deny the Deity of Yeshua Hamashiach. Many will say Jesus was a real man but they will deny He is the Son of God.
I believe any word released will be confirmed. The Bible speaks of two or three witnesses (2 Corinthians 13:1). This is why I try to include Scripture to my writings so that you, the reader, can confirm or deny what I write.
In addition, the Prophets I do listen to: have great respect for the office of prophecy, are cautious about the words they release, and encourage the hearer to seek confirmation of the words he or she speaks.
