There are tons of books out there, and for $5.00 to $25.00 one can get the latest class 101 to the latest this and that. Cool! I read em too. However I would like to share something very profound with you about the office of a prophet. And guess what? "IT IS FREE" and wont cost you a dime. Infact! FREELY I RECEIVE, FREELY I GIVE........ Blessings, in His Most Glorious Name..
Men do not appoint prophets. THE LORD DOES. Books do not pupose prophets, THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST DOES. Books do teach and mentor to prophets, BUT PROPHETS ARE MOVED BY THE HOLY GHOST.
The following scriptures are a personal bible study that the Holy Spirit led me to search out and study after recieving a vision in 1997, that vision being the DAY OF THE LORD and THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST which will soon be posted on this site.
That first vision as the Spirit of Christ came upon me and as I stood in the future, was shown, witnessed, and heard all that was before me within the vision led me deep into the Word of God as the Holy Spirit literally led me on a journey, as I asked one question being "Lord! why have you shown me this".
Such led to a intense 2 year bible study around one vision as the Holy Spirit simply opened the Word of God to me and continued to give me eye's to see, ears to hear and a heart to precieve.
This is one of those bible studies, the 1st.
