When I was Pastoring, people would call me and tell me God had given them a word for me, but since I resigned from my church a year ago, I haven't had anyone call me with a word.I guess God doesn't give you a word unless you're Pastoring.

Re: Can I get a "word" from somebody

Praise God that he's given us a book filled with enough words to last a lifetime. As to those other words...smh “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.”

I don't say this to be patronizing or condescending in any way whatsoever:I urge you first and foremost to sit down with the Lord with an open heart and an open bible. Ask Him to make the Word come alive to you. I have been in the ministry many years and every so often I catch myself reading the bible simply so that I will have a text to preach from. In those times, I have to remind myself to get in His presence, and allow Him to speak a word into my life. Without fail, when I make that a priority, He always speaks to me. I'm experiencing a personal renewal in my own bible study and prayer time so that's why I feel led to say this to you. It's nothing you don't already know, but sometimes a reminder is good.

This is what I'm talking about. I never paid much attention when people would tell me that God had given them a word for me. I always figured that unless the word people gave me lined up with what God was speaking to me, that it was them trying to come across as being super spiritual.I have had a few people that spoke to me things that were going on in my life that no one else knew anything about and when they spoke, I listened.I apologize for the title to be somewhat misleading, cause I'm not really looking for a word, unless God has told you the winning Powerball numbers, then I'm all ears.

Not much else to say, that is in a serious vein! Some facts but mostly just my [email protected]/

This 'having a word for you' must be something after 1965. I had never heard of it in years previous. I never heard my dad say that nor anything close in his 50 dedicated years of pastoring.I never heard of it as I pastored a few short years.Not saying it is wrong, just wondering why I never heard the statement from some of the most Godly men I have known personally, WAde Horton, Bill Sheeks, SA Lankford, Bro. Sandsbury, Fred Brannen, QJ Cox, Ray Collins etc. Maybe it was there under another 'trademark or name' I don't know.Of course I never heard of Prophets in the church (by that name) until recently either.

Here you go....

Phil,I would rather have a prophetic word from you than this guy.NB

Baloney!I've had these prophets speak over me. (not the ones advertised above)Every one was a dud Charles A. HutchinsSenior Pastor SPWCCongregational Church of Godwww.spwc.church
