[TruthTalk] Definition of "Prophet?"

2003-03-28 Thread Slade Henson



The Bible uses five key words that are often translated as 
prophet: 
 
Hebrew:    Roeh -- seer
    Chozeh -- seer
    Navi, Neviah -- one called to speak [on behalf 
of God]
Aramaic:
    Nevi -- one called to speak [for God]
Greek:
    prophetes -- -one who speaks before [God], one 
who speaks for [God]
    pneumatikos -- spiritual ones
 
Prophets are not supposed to be crystal balls that we can look into to see 
which step we should take at what time, or to determine which lottery number to 
buy. Instead, the Neviim are to instruct and encourage a right way of living 
before YHVH and they often (not always) describe the curse associated with a 
continued bad behavior. Generally, prophets use "If-then" statements in their 
prophesies (although I know dozens of examples contrary exist).
 
We as Human Beans :-) tend to concentrate on the "THEN" part of their 
prophesies, which give them the reputation for being portals to the 
mysterious future. HOWEVER, we need to be concentrating on the "IF" part of 
their statements so the "then" will NOT come to pass.
 
Most importantly, Revelation 19:9-10 says:

  
  Then he said to me, "Write, 'Blessed are those who are invited to the 
  marriage supper of the Lamb.'" And he said to me, "These are true words of 
  God." Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, "Do not 
  do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the 
  testimony of Yeshua; worship God. For the testimony of Yeshua is the Spirit of 
  Prophecy."
It's been my experience that those who are 
"prophets" have a tendency to be unaware of their gift (or extremely humble). 
They quietly or privately give a word or passage here and there that perfectly 
fits a person's need (for comfort or correction) at that time. When the word is 
for correction, it tends to be ill-received and the prophet is called names, 
ridiculed, or sternly rebuked... and the "prophet" has no idea why. Those who 
like to display their "prophetic gift" like a peacock are compelled by their 
flesh and are not prophets at all. YHVH has used them in spite of themselves. 
Would I be so bold as to say these self-proclaimed prophets are false 
prophets?
 
What do you think, Glenn?

Slade, I sent your description of a prophet to a prophet and here is what he said about it. I have his permission to forward this to TT.  Since I know this prophet a little, I would think your description must have been OK more or less.  He wouldn't hesitate to let us all have it.  LOL

This is her experience. Most prophets that I know, God makes that well aware of their call into this office, and begins that training through the "college of hard knocks". This person has never read the Bible concerning the prophets of old. Were they walking around very quiet like "church mice", very humble?

Prophets work on individual and corporate levels. Our call is to the "church." 
The Lord sets the "tone" of how He wants the Word given. Sometimes it may be quiet, while others times He may want it given in a raised voice. Prophets are people that love God and His Church. When we see people drifting off into sin, we jump up and sound the alarm to them or the church, regardless of how the person or the church wants to receive it.
 
When the word is for correction, it tends to be ill-received and the prophet is called names, ridiculed, or sternly rebuked... and the "prophet" has no idea why.
 
Only a very immature prophet would give and Word and "not know why" they were being rejected. All true mature prophets give their Word from the Lord with the full knowledge that most people DO NOT want anyone to tell them what to do, even God. We "expect" it and us to be rejected.

Thanks, Slade.  One point I’d like to clarify is
that it takes more humility to admit one’s gifts openly than it does to
put them under a bushel.  If you admit to your gifts you are inviting
immediate criticism from those so inclined.  It takes maturity to be
willing to honor God by admitting to the gifts He has given you, and be willing
to accept the cynicism/flak. There was a time that I was too “humble”
to accept compliments for my capabilities in various areas, but now I have
learned to just say, “Thank You, it’s a gift the Lord has blessed
me with.”  What do you see as the difference between a Prophetic
gift and a gift of Encouragement?  Izzy

Keeping humble in your spiritual gifts is a 
must, otherwise we run into the problem of receiving the glory ourselves instead 
of allowing YHVH to bathe in the limelight. At the other extreme are the ones 
you mentioned, Izzy... the ones who cannot "admit one’s gifts openly [and] ... 
put[s] them under a 
bushel." Well... said, Izzy!!
 
In reference to "the 
difference between a Prophetic gift and a gift of Encouragement," I 
encourage you to refer to Romans 12:8 and Corinthians 1:14:3. (Oops, on my 
proof-read, I just noticed a pun not originally intended!)
 
By the way, a hearty THANK YOU MARLIN for 
introducing me to the http://www.e-sword.net freeware program. 
I think I like it better than QuickVerse. The more I use it the better I like 
it. I think I'd like to see how to use the STEP thing or the

commentaries over the years.

This reminds me of when my little brother was having his
confirmation ceremony with several other children.  They were all lined up
in front of the church, as all the proud parents were watching. The priest asked
them, “Does anyone here know what a prophet is?” None of the
children had an answer except for my brother who answered, “That’s
when you buy something for a nickel, and sell it for a dime!”  (Frankly,
I don’t think a false prophet is worth a nickel.) Izzy

  church, regardless of how the person or the church wants to receive it.
  
  When the word is for correction, it tends to be
  ill-received and the prophet is called names, ridiculed, or sternly
  rebuked... and the "prophet" has no idea why.
  
  Only a very immature prophet would give and Word and
  "not know why" they were being rejected. All true mature prophets
  give their Word from the Lord with the full knowledge that most people DO NOT
  want anyone to tell them what to do, even God. We "expect" it and
  us to be rejected.
  
  
  Those who like to display their "prophetic gift"
  like a peacock are compelled by their flesh and are not prophets at all. YHVH
  has used them in spite of themselves. Would I be so bold as to say these
  self-proclaimed prophets are false prophets?
  
  Again, true prophets can get over into pride and still
  function accurately in the prophetic. Just because they act prideful, does
  not mean that they are the "real deal."

Hey Slade.  Is this statement true?  

Have you ever read the Bible concerning the prophets of old?
 
Peace be with you.

The man who said it is a prophet, isn't he? I guess I haven't read them as
many times as I thought. :-)
