The Prophet Spoke, But Did You Hear Him?

If you are even a casual church goer, you have at some point heard a word of prophecy. You have heard someone speak concerning the things of God. You yourself may have even stood to share what God had placed in your spirit. It could have been that you were called on to lead devotion or recite a certain scripture. Words of prophecy are delivered in so many ways and God truly does use various people to share His word. My question for you today is when the Prophet spoke, did you hear Him?

Did you perceive His voice? Did you hearken to His command? When He spoke, were you motivated to act? Were you able to receive the message that was delivered? Did you know that a prophecy was going forth? A prophecy is a prediction or a forecast of what's to come. When the Prophet speaks, His words transform all who hear them.

So, if I asked you to open the bible and read the words, would you be able to hear the Prophet? Would you be able to hear the Lord laying out the plan that He has for this world? Would you understand that His word from "in the beginning to Amen" is the prophecy and He is the prophet? He is the one who sees beyond our present circumstance. He is the one who delivers warnings. He is the one who is guiding us. He is the Prophet.

God has uniquely equipped some to serve as prophets, but it is at His command that they speak. Prophets are called to share His Word, provide insight, and tell of what is to come. Not one can operate without His Spirit. Not one can share what He has not allowed them the sight to see. Each man or woman that God calls has called to serve , though uniquely gifted, has only one voice when they are speaking on behalf of God. As you sit listening intently to the word from your leader, pastor, preacher, and or teacher, remember the Prophet has already spoken. Did you hear Him?
