The prophet's handbook

with His plan for how we will live to fulfill them. Prophecies concerning Adam’s generations are earthly and therefore soulish when they are not derived from God’s Spirit’s revelation of His eternal plan for them. At times, the Lord will release a futuristic word to His prophet on an unsaved life so that the forces assigned to seeing to his or her redemption are informed of the path God is taking with the person. Thus, a baby may be told that he will be this or that, or an unsaved person may hear from the prophet the reason why he was born, why the Lord wants to redeem him, and His plans for him after he receives Jesus Christ. However, in the absence of God’s interjection, Adam’s seeds rarely hear from the true and living God. What they get from the supernatural is chiefly soul-pleasing divination. That is why the psychics can seem to have as much knowledge about people as God’s prophets, although they really do not. The difference is the source of information retrieved from the supernatural that they deliver. Being lost themselves, psychics are limited to getting their readings from the soul realm and not God’s Holy Spirit. Since He is not bearing His soul to them, they will never be able to divine what the Lord has hidden in Christ’s book on a life, because that information must be spiritually discerned. Thus, the key difference between prophecy and divination is that, by the Lord’s Spirit, the prophet speaks information that only the Creator can release to His redeemed. Psychic divinations comes from any spirit (divine being) that happens to be in the vicinity of the people who are uttering and receiving a psychic reading. From all this, it is safe to conclude that what the prophets of God spoke, they received from the Lord’s eternal record of world events and His Scripture on the generations of people’s lives. What the occultists divine is another thing. It is what is contained in Adam’s book, and so it is restricted to life on earth. Often it comes from dead spirits, demons that mask themselves as dearly departed relatives or generation ancestors. This is called necromancy. Now we shift our discussion to prophecy itself and what it is. What Prophecy Is As stated several times before, prophecy is God’s divine communication medium, His means of making His inaudible self audible and his invisible self visible. Prophecy is not a vain imagination of the vocalizer, but a medium by which the earth can hear from and be guided by its Creator. As we have seen, prophecy is actually a prophet’s ability to read the life book of the one standing before him. That is what the preceding section took great pains to stress.
