It is a wonderful thing that new believers want to draw closer to The Most High because they feel He is speaking to them at nightS❤️ HalleluYah for answering the knock on the door of your heart 💕
however i want you to be aware of becoMing a prophecy chaser (and I mean televangelist/social media proPercy chasers) because the body in Ha Mashiach is seeing a rising in false prophets everywhere just like Yahshuah Ha Mashiach said they would come in the last days.
I continue to watch people/new believer/seasoned believers being led astray into false believe, false hope by unclean spirits on here. i know theyre about to comment on this thread with a “prophecy”
how to know if a prophecy is from Elohim let’s start copy/pasting from Scripture:
1:TEST THE SPIRITS
“Beloved ones, do not believe every spirit, but prove the spirits, whether they are of Elohim, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of Elohim: Every spirit that confesses that יהושע Messiah has come in the flesh is of Elohim, and every spirit that does not confess that יהושע Messiah has come in the flesh is not of Elohim. And this is the spirit of the anti-messiah which you heard is coming, and now is already in the world.”
Yoḥanan Aleph (1 John) 4:1-3 TS2009
2: HOW TO KNOW IF THEY ARE FALSE
“But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in My Name, which I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other mighty ones, even that prophet shall die.’ “And when you say in your heart, ‘How do we know the word which יהוה has not spoken?’ – when the prophet speaks in the Name of יהוה and the word is not, or comes not, that is the word which יהוה has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. Do not be afraid of him.”
Deḇarim (Deuteronomy) 18:20-22
“Thus said יהוה of hosts, “Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you, they lead you astray. They speak a vision of their own heart, not from the mouth of יהוה. “They keep on saying to those who despise Me, ‘יהוה has said you shall have peace.’ And to all who walk according to the stubbornness of their own heart they say, ‘No evil comes upon you.’ ” For who has stood in the counsel of יהוה, and has seen and heard His word? Who has listened to His word and obeyed it? See, a storm of יהוה shall go forth in a rage, a whirling storm! It whirls on the head of the wrong. The displeasure of יהוה shall not turn back until He has done and established the purposes of His heart. In the latter days you shall understand it perfectly.”
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:16-20 TS2009
““I did not send these prophets, yet they ran. I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied. “But if they had stood in My counsel, then they would have let My people hear My Words, and they would have turned them from their evil way and from the evil of their deeds. “Am I an Elohim close by,” declares יהוה, “and not an Elohim afar off?”
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:21-23 TS2009
3. FALSE DREAMS
not every dream is from The Most High! Therefore shall not be interpreted by Ruach Ha Quodesh! Just like the enemy invades our thoughts he too infiltrates our dreams hence nightmares, perverted dreams, violent dreams! Remember the dreams Elohim gave even the gentile soverigns were never violent but symbolic
““I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy falsehood in My Name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ “Till when shall it be in the heart of the prophets? – the prophets of falsehood and prophets of the deceit of their own heart, who try to make My people forget My Name by their dreams which everyone relates to his neighbour, as their fathers forgot My Name for Ba‛al.”
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:25-27 TS2009
““See, I am against the prophets,” declares יהוה, “who use their tongues and say, ‘He declares.’ “See, I am against those who prophesy false dreams,” declares יהוה, “and relate them, and lead My people astray by their falsehoods and by their reckless boasting. But I Myself did not send them nor have I commanded them. And they do not profit this people at all,” declares יהוה.”
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:31-32 TS2009
““But the message of יהוה you no longer remember! For every man’s message is his own word, for you have changed the Words of the living Elohim, יהוה of hosts, our Elohim!”
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:36 TS2009
4. CONSEQUENCES FOR CLAIMING THE MOST HIGH HAS SHOWN YOU THIS DREAM/PROPHECY
““This is what you say to the prophet, ‘What has יהוה answered you?’ and, ‘What has יהוה spoken?’ “But since you say, ‘The message of יהוה!’ therefore thus said יהוה, ‘Because you say this word, “The message of יהוה!” and I have sent to you, saying, “Do not say, ‘The message of יהוה!’ ” therefore see, I, I shall utterly forget you and cast you away from My presence, along with the city that I gave you and your fathers. And I shall put an everlasting reproach on you, and an everlasting shame that is not forgotten.’ ””
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 23:37-40 TS2009
“Then יהוה said to me, “The prophets prophesy falsehood in My Name. I have not sent them, nor commanded them, nor spoken to them. They are prophesying to you a false vision, worthless divination, and the deceit of their own heart. “Therefore thus said יהוה concerning the prophets who prophesy in My Name, whom I did not send, and who say, ‘Sword and scarcity of food shall not be in this land.’ ‘By sword and scarcity of food those prophets shall be consumed!”
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 14:14-15 TS2009
5WARNING REGARDING FALSE PROPHETS
““But beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are savage wolves. “By their fruits you shall know them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes or figs from thistles?”
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 7:15-16 TS2009
““For false messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and they shall show great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the chosen ones. “See, I have forewarned you.”
Mattithyahu (Matthew) 24:24-25 TS2009
“But there also came to be false prophets among the people, as also among you there shall be false teachers, who shall secretly bring in destructive heresies, and deny the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. And many shall follow their destructive ways, because of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of, and in greed, with fabricated words, they shall use you for gain. From of old their judgment does not linger, and their destruction does not slumber.”
Kĕpha Bĕt (2 Peter) 2:1-3 TS2009
“For there shall be a time when they shall not bear sound teaching, but according to their own desires, they shall heap up for themselves teachers tickling the ear, and they shall indeed turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to myths.”
Timotiyos Bĕt (2 Timothy) 4:3-4 TS2009
FINALLY TO THOSE WHO ARE USING A DREAM BOOK TO INTERPRET THE DREAMS OF OTHERS!!!
“And they said to him, “We each have dreamed a dream, and there is no one to interpret it.” And Yosĕph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to Elohim? Relate them to me, please.””
Berĕshith (Genesis) 40:8 TS2009
if indeed the dream is from Elohim; He interprets the dream through prayer, if you think you have the gift of interpreting dreams then just like Daniel without the person telling you their dream you should be able to relate the dream they had & the interpretation. I see a lot of people here trying to play diviners.
to help those inquiring regarding dreams is to refer them to prayer & fasting for the interpretatioN we must humble ourselves and allow others to grow in FAITH; they can only draw Closer To ELOHIM through reading scripture, prayer, fasting.
for those of you who will say “we’re just trying to help we mean well, that will not help them grow in faith b/c the ”babes” are using your human intellect as a crutch/spiritual guidance.
Thank you @millie1_nunez for this post! I have been feeling much the same for some time now regarding both the wider body of Christ and this forum specifically.
There is a lot of corruption and deception and it is "allowed" because of lack of scriptural knowledge and understanding. Prophecies, visions and dreams ALL come from God (I am not talking of regular dreams that occur). They are meant for the edification of the body, for warning and for revelation. They are interlinked and need to be treated with the same care.
Genesis 40:8 - And they said unto him, We have dreamed a dream, and [there is] no interpreter of it. And Joseph said unto them, [Do] not interpretations [belong] to God? tell me [then], I pray you.
Acts 2:17 - And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Numbers 12:6 - And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, [I] the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, [and] will speak unto him in a dream.
The occult world is also full of visions, dreams and 'prophesies'. It is all through divination and many who have come out of it have spoken out, saying they see the same manifestations within the body of Christ.
It should then be plain that we, who are 'truth seekers', believing on the God Most High, should be diligent in learning to discern between these spirits. Not all signs and wonders are from the one, true YHWH.
Jeremiah 23: 25,26 “I have heard what the prophets have said who prophesy lies in My name, saying, ‘I have dreamed, I have dreamed!’ How long will this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart,
Ecclesiastes 5: 3+7 "For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words."
"For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity; but God is the one you must fear."
We must be careful not to think we can puzzle out the dream meanings with human understanding. The Father reveals to him who He chooses. Seek Him and for His answers.
Good intentions are also of no use in these situations. Speak and interpret if the Father has given you the interpretation, and be humble enough to stay quiet if you have not been given the interpretation. If people speak without true interpretation then the true meaning gets muddied and lost between all the if, buts and maybes.
Shalom
