Do you know of any spiritual prophets ? real or false

[dann]

There are numerous prophetic prophets on the web and u tube.

Are there any that you faith or trust in?

What Are you standards for determining a prophetic word or revelation?

 

[Trishie]

I don’t tend to accept such claims easily, especially from the internet.
I’m aware of the possibility that anyone may be self-deceived, easily led, have an agenda, or are carried along by some kind of emotion… I carefully assess what may be true, but I can’t say I feel the need for such things. I have faith and general goodwill but also a questioning mind.

Love God above all and others as oneself, that makes more sense to me than seeking out prophets true or false, and quite likely false.

However we are all different, and for some people such things are helpful.

All prophesy ended with the Incarnation.

These so-called predicts of endtimes, catastrophe, etc. are just speculating.

 

[Mary_Ellen]

We are all baptized priest, prophet, and king. I believe that the Spirit can gift some with a special gift of prophesy in these times:

Corinthians 14: 5:
I would gladly see you all speaking with strange tongues, but I would rather you should prophesy, because the prophet ranks higher than the man who speaks with strange tongues. It would be different if he could translate them, to strengthen the faith of the church;

That said, I’m with @Trishie, I don’t accept claims of prophesy, that is, claims that a person is speaking for God, easily. I tend to steer clear of almost all private revelation, and even take with a grain of salt those revelations accepted by the Church. Color me a skeptic, that’s what I am. Approved private revelations are fine for most, I just keep most away at arm’s length.

There are plenty of good and holy writings from Saints and others of the Church which I can depend on. I just stay away from any and all un-approved private prophetic claims and revelations.

Be at peace.

I think there is a little bit of “prophet” in all of us. Father once explained it as conveying the truth. This can be subtle or loud and brassy, but not as we think of the prophets of old who came to make way for the Lord. A well intentioned Christian who want to spread the word/message of Christ these days would be called an Evangelist, but not a prophet. As far as the Church saying there are no more prophets…never say never. If our Lord has need of a few good prophets He will create/inspire them and send them forth. I think we could use a few right now, don’t you? Peace. MEB.

Edgar Cayce died over 70 years ago so he isn’t on youtube but I place a great deal of weight in his writings.

What Are you standards for determining a prophetic word or revelation?

The most important test for me is coherency. If I was never indoctrinated with any belief system, and I was to form an understanding of the universe through observation, would I eventually have come to the same conclusion as the teaching?

For me the standard for rejection of a revelation or teaching is does it feather the nest of the individual or organization that gives the revelation.

Well I guess I would be remiss if I didn’t post something from my own Faith about Baha’u’llah Who was exiled and imprisoned most of His life and with the Bicentennial of His Birth coming up next weekend on the 22nd of October. I’ll share a few excerpts from the Baha’i Writings:

"The Sun of Reality is one Sun but it has different dawning-places, just as the phenomenal sun is one although it appears at various points of the horizon. During the time of spring the luminary of the physical world rises far to the north of the equinoctial; in summer it dawns midway and in winter it appears in the most southerly point of its zodiacal journey. These day-springs or dawning-points differ widely but the sun is ever the same sun whether it be the phenomenal or 12 spiritual luminary. Souls who focus their vision upon the Sun of Reality will be the recipients of light no matter from what point it rises, but those who are fettered by adoration of the dawning-point are deprived when it appears in a different station upon the spiritual horizon."

~  Abdu'l-Baha, Foundations of World Unity, p. 11

As far as what standards I would use to determine the veracity of a revelation I’d be interested in studying the impact or fruits of a revelation. What was the impact on the individuals who recognized the revelation? Was the revelation ahead of its time?.. more advanced and intrinsically true for the context of its time and place? Baha’is also encourage what we call independent investigation of truth or reality.

Prophecy that Donald trump was for a time like this.

This might be personal revelation . but as Johnathon cahn wrote about in the harbinger

And in the Isaiah paradigm. Donald trump is God s anointed

Personal spiritual revelation is what being a christian is about

As god said in Amas he tells his prophets what he going to do
