Question

-------------------------------------------
The text above is a follow-up to ...the answer you gave about what a prophet is. I believe I fall in the first category as God will give me a word of wisdom about a person or situation. For instance several years ago a lady that worked with me was a working acquaintance. One night I was praying and she flashed in my mind. I felt led to tell her not to worry that the Lord loved her and was working her situation out. Now I knew nothing about her personally and I thought Lord I don't want to do this. Well to make a long story short I was obedient and shared the message God had sent her .It turned out that she was in grave danger. She was trying to leave a very abusive relationship. She cried and confessed how alone she felt in her husband's small town ,and it gave me an opportunity to witness to her.
 I also have been led to learn about the deliverance ministry. Certainly not my kind of interest.As I learned some of the dangers >God began to show me it was all around me. I have a relative that is in college and her psychology teacher is teaching the class astral projection! I had warned all my family about the way the occult has come into almost every area of American life. So this relative prayed during the exercise. I pray for her and the rest of the class. I have also told her to run out of the class if she needs to I am praying for that teacher. I believe he maybe a witch.My sisterinlaw brought me a tape from a very well known Prophetess that was teaching the prayer group to Fly in the spirit!!!! My mother knew they were in error because I had given her some information on the New Age Movement in Churches.Now everyone I warned did not receive and some of them think I am in trouble because I am always concerned about and warning people of the traps of the enemy,and then their are others that think I know everything.LOL.I said all that to say is that Prophetic gift 1 or 2?

Transference of spirit is my next question. Now I was always worried that someone would transfer to me. I hadn't thought when I lay hands on my sick child I may be transferring spirit to her.(MY LAWD) So you really need to be prayed up before you pray with others. What about on the phone? I pray with a lot on people on the phone,and that is when I pick up headaches ,joint pain ect. Am I doing something wrong.? I have learned to cast out any spirits that are transfered , sent or followed me in Jesus's Name after I pray.

I know I need a Pastor ,but you and others will have to do until God sends me someone. Don't worry about hurting my feelings.I don't want to be in error,and I certainly don't want to lose my soul. If anything I say sounds like it is wrong please tell me. I sincerely want to serve God.Although sometime I don't feel like I'm doing much. God bless you .

I am going to cry on your shoulder as I have several concerns going on at once now. I believe God has given me a gift of prophecy and it is so frustrating when you have a word  ,or revelation and your love ones are blinded to the consequences of their actions. Do you feel that kind of frustration in regards to your gift.How do you handle it?
I am also an intercessor I pray often for people and can pick up thier physical ailments (headaches and such) Is this transference of spirits? It makes me hesitant to lay hands or pray with people sometimes. Is this common or should I seek God more about my gift.This not something I asked God for as it says to do in the bible. I was in denial  for a long time and then I came to know I was being rebellious and that is as witchcraft. I also do not want to be a false prophet or in error. Thank you for your comments as I don't feel comfortable talking to many people about this.It also seems few people recognize a true gift from God.So many people are into witchcraft and paganism or New Age religions,but God places prophets in the church to warn the church.The church has run them away and they are needed in these last days.

I have been a Christian for many years and am an intercessor. When I pray for people sometime I can pickup their ailments or feelings.Is that transference of spirits,or is it a way to let you know what to pray for. I also can see what area of the body I need to pray for. I am very careful about laying hands on people because I prayed for a lady once that had arthritis and I was was hurting two or three days aftrwards. She said she was felt much better.
As you can tell I have had very little practical teaching in this area. I have read books ,the bible mostly and talked to friends that say they are prophetic ,but get little are no teaching from the pulpit on this matter.

I have dreams and visions sometime .Any suggestions on interpretations. I have learned that a lot of time the dreams are not about me and mine but for others when the meanings are revealed. They are always in parable and I have to pray  research and wait to figure out the meaning.
As you see I need help with this new calling. I married recently and relocated and God has not led me to a new church home. It is so hard to find your place. I feel like I am all alone without a church family. I have friends that are saved but it is not the same.

Lastly I have a deathly ill brotherinlaw .He has cancer. I have prayed with him on the phone ,but I am hesitant to lay hands on him because before he became ill he would barely speak to me.His sisters are into spiritualism,and Roy Masters,They  do astral projection and I don't believe in communicating with the dead or occultism of ant kind. I don't feel led to lay hands on him. What should I do.I feel so sorry for him. Idid ask him if he had ask Jesus to come into his heart and save him? He said he had.One of his sisters went to see a reader just last week.They resent me because I am saved and they are all single and feel as if I stole their brother from them.They are very strange and evil. My husband is a blessing and is a Christian ,we pray together nightly for our and thier deliverance. Am I in error? I don't want to get mixed up in the occult.What would you do? If you were surrounded by a family of people like this?They also have mental problems, as a result of being in the occult.I pray that God will use you to give me some good Godly council.I am feeling physically ill from trying to help my husband help them. Thank you and please for give me for being so long winded. God Bless you.

Greetings in the wonderful glorious name of Jesus, the Christ. I'm so sorry to take so long, please forgive me.

question:
Do you feel that kind of frustration in regards to your gift.How do you handle it?

answer:
well, first of all please let me explain something here and now; there are actually two offices (or departments) of prophecy... one is to hear directly from God audibly, and speak forth what thus saith the most high God, to any one or group of people.  The other is  how I've been trained mostly, and that is to take the written word of God and expound on it, opening it up so that they who have ears to hear and eyes to see, what thus saith the word of God.

I feel, as you do, of course..sad, but also angry, not towards them, persay...but towards the devil, for it is him that is causing and bringing about that blindness.

Have faith continue to pray for them, asking God's Holy Spirit to bring convistion to their hearts, for it is His job to do this.

question:
Is this transference of spirits?

answer:
you must be very careful here...bigtime.  I, myself, haven't had that happen, so it is hard for me to answer that. Please don't misunderstand...as I know God works in mysterious ways; but this type of thing (transference of spirits) teeters on a string coming very close to witchcraft in my understanding. If that were me, I would not delve into that area.

It is good that you are careful about laying on of hands...
because it is taught that we are to be very careful, as we could also at the same time tranfers bad evil spirits if we were to have any sin, in ourselves, left.  So you must make absolutely sure that you are without sin first.

I feel as you do on how badly prophets are needed these days.
I get so angry when I bring a word or teaching on a certain topic...and the church wishes to look past it. They tend to teach not from God's word but from a book created by mankind. They refuse to accept anything that is not coming directly from themselves. They think that God would never use a lowly man or woman, or perhaps even a child, to bring them a word(s). So I feel for you my friend.

question:
I have dreams and visions sometime .Any suggestions on interpretations.

answer:
alot of times I have dreams and/or visions but these are how God personally talks to me, as well as use his written word.
So all I can say is to talk to God on this, ask Him to give you the interpretation of these things, just as He did with Daniel and others.

question:
God has not led me to a new church home. It is so hard to find your place.

answer:
In my past, there was a time, when God would not allow me to  go to this one church, although at the time, I felt He wanted me to, but in His timing , not mine.  And I was right; just be patient His reasons are not as plain as we would like, but with time...it will come.

question:
deathly ill brotherinlaw

answer:
I too got very interested in Roy Masters at one time, And although his teachings sounded very similar to God's word...
I almost got convinced he was OF God....and being used by Him.  But on further study of God's word on the matter, I learned the truth of the matter...and decided to not listen to him anymore. Again, be very careful about laying hands.
It could be possible that evil spirits could transer to you, if you are not strong in faith and God's word....to deliver yourself from them, if this happens.

What would I do?  "all I can do.." then leave the rest to God. Praying for Him as much as possible.  I understand you're dilema here...I truly do...as my family believes they are saved and on their way to heaven. My mother has held actual seances whe she was younger. and although she also claims to be saved, continues even today, to attend church every other sunday, and as soon as church is over and she's home, either begins to party at home and drink beer, or goes out to a bar....she smoked pot up til her doctor told her she needs to stop. Her lungs are already very bad, from second-hand smoke (she never smoked cigarettes in her life).

She used to be a sunday-school teacher along time ago...and somehow after my father divorced her, she became a stripper.
and this is just my mother, never mind my sisters. My middles sister used to be church secretary, and even then she was still smoking pot....and believing she was saved.
My next oldest sister lives in florida...and still get drunk, and smokes beer. And she goes to a baptist church every sunday.,plus goes to bible study, and church events, however she recently had an accident which has started her thinking bout a great many things she has allowed herself to do.  my youngest sister, is divorced and only attends church on special occasions (due to family traditions) she smokes pot daily and is on pills etc. Shes also had a son out of wedlock and lives with his father...still not married. she also believes she's saved as well. My whole family is decieved...so I do understand how you feel.

God bless you and yours

In His Service, and Love
