I'm sure many ppl were thrilled, but it was something deeper for me. The Lord gave me that prophecy some time back during my worship/devotional time, and I wrote it down, and kind of let it go.
He said that ppl would be celebrating and gave me the headline that would be in one of the newspapers.
I had to go back and dig through a load of notebooks, (cause I'm a writer...lol), and find the prophecy He gave me concerning Osama, and BAM! I found it.
I looked at the date that He gave it to me, and it said, 5/1/10. That was an exact year to the date of his death 5/1/11. I WAS BLOWN AWAY!
Has the Lord ever given you a prophecy or just a simple word, large or small, and you saw it come to pass just the way He said it would?
John, I agree with some of that but I must say this....
I'm a very brave, bold woman...yes I am...but one thing I'm not bold enough or dumb enough to do is to play with God.
He is my everything and I don't play games with Him. Ever!
I fear Him too much!
I never spoke that prophecy beforehand because the Lord didn't tell me to. I try not to open my mouth unless He tells me to do so. Trust me :glow:
There is something that He did share with me in July of last year about the end times,and I have shared that with my friends and will share it with my brothers and sisters here today...
Well first of all, let's get it straight...
No man knows the day or the hour...
And any man or woman who says they do, you better run away from them, FAST!
But the Holy Spirit spoke to me about an earthquake in Greece that would be pretty big I guess, and soon after the Lord would be making his way on a swift cloud.
I said to Him that that's kinda hard to process because there are lots of earthquakes going on. Plus, after He told me, I hopped online and researched earthquakes in Greece and apparently they're a common occurance out there. So I guess we'll just have to see how it all pans out.
Just relaying the information. Be encouraged John!
I do that whole Obama-Osama thing too...lol...I thought I was the only one. Their names are so similar.
For the record...again...it wasn't a dream. The Holy Spirit put it on my heart/the Lord spoke it to me, however you want to put it.
Yeah, those dates were...you know. Couldn't believe it. I always reverently feared the Lord, but when I saw those dates, I was reminded that God will do what He says He can do. This greatly helped me in other areas of my life that I was having some unbelief/doubt issues.
In essence, I reverently fear Him even more now, if that's at all possible!:glow:
He told me of a dream he had fifteen years ago. The dream was that one day, he would preach the gospel to his own father.
His father was against knowledge of God at all times, and even when his dad was stricken with cancer , he was still against knowledge of God.
So once his dad was stricken with the sickness, my brother in the Lord was of course in and out of the hospital as best he could to spend time with his dad.
Then one night, his wife told him that she felt led to tell him that he should go the the hospital that very night.
He had already been there redently, and was already scheduled to go there the next day, and he had to get up the next morning for work, and it was late, and basically, he was not led to go there that night.
But he went anyway.
He was then led to preach the basic good news to his dad.
His dad finally accepted the good news.
Then, on his way out of his dad's hospital room, my brother shut off the light.
At the moment he shut off the light switch, a kind of "revelation" came over him.
At that moment, he was reminded of the vision he had received many years prior, and he realized that at the very moment he shut off that light switch, the Lord was bringing recollection to him about the dream of so many years earlier.
At that moment, even while his finger was still on the light switch, he perveived that his father would die that night.
Sure enough, his father died that night.
All to say that when my brother was here last night telling me of what he perceived to be God's revelation to him, I accepted it, and reaffirmed him about God's ability to communicate to us in dreams and visions.
But just the day before, I had criticized HolySpiritGirl's expression of her own dream and revelation from the Lord about Osama.
At that moment, the Lord brought back recollection to me of how I had just affirmed my brother's prophetic dream, but had criticized HolySpiritGirl's prophetic dream, and I was immediately ashamed in my emotions and heart, and convitcted of hypocrisy, and in a way that I could not immediately express.
So now I come back to this channel where I criticized HolyGhostGirl's prophetic dream to say that I perceive that the Lord chastized me immediately for speaking out where it would have been better of me to keep my mouth shut.
And I also apologize if I got her username right, HolyGhostGirl or HolySpiritGirl, I don't know.
But this post is directed at her as an appeal for forgiveness.
dreams, visions and words...I have seen things come to pass but not anything newsworth. but then you have to ask yourself, why is God sharing this with me? what am I to do with this information? Pray, fast, share.... or is it because He is bringing to light a gift within you HGG?
riveroflife, I guess I was just so shocked because like you said, He tells me things that come to pass often, especially last year during my worship/devotional time, but never anything "newsworthy."
To be honest, at the time, I had just started journaling, so when the Holy Spirit spoke to me about Osama, I just jotted it down and let it go.
I feel bad because the Lord told me to pray for that man's soul. I can't say I prayed like I should have.
I guess He revealed it to me for several reasons. I never really share, but since this was a pretty big one, I thought it might encourage someone else in the Lord.
"....or is it because He is bringing to light a gift within you HGG?"
Yeah, probably that too. I always find myself making excuses when the Lord tells me I'm equipped to do certain things. Then I have to repent. Seems to be a perpetual struggle.
