Well... I forgive you! :-)
Ya know, funny thing is, a lot of times a prophetic word is simply saying the right thing at the right time and encouraging someone. Or when discussing a topic that I am trying to understand someone will post something that makes the light go on for me finally.
We want to over spiritualize everything, and make prophecy some grand proclamation of future events straight from the throne of God... but I think 99% of the time it's a lot simplier than that.
God is very complicated. But how He works with us, and in us, and thru us is not. I'm not a theologian, never been to seminary, never sat at the feet of some great Bible teacher. So He has to make it simple for me.
And I simply believe that most of the time He gives us the words to say without us even realizing He is doing it.
I know every now and then I get PM's from people on here, some who have never posted but just read, and they encourage me because I said something 2 months before that touched their hearts. I have to go back and read what i wrote cuz I cant remember it. But they were obviously words that God gave me at that time for that person to read and be encouraged.... and I never knew it.
And He does that with all of us.
And I believe with all my simple heart that that is what real prophecy is 98% of the time.
What I just wrote is not an indictment on people who claim the gift of prophecy. It's simply me trying to encourage us all that we dont need to complicate things. Just let God be God.
