DEFINITIONS:
Prophani ~ Greek for "to say forth beforehand."
Prophecy Confirmation ~ There is no more important aspect of prophetic activity than that of prophecy confirmation. That means finding accurate and reliable means of assuring the messages people get from the Lord are authentic, relevant, and therefore able to come to pass. One prevailing belief about prophecy is that it exists to and automatically confirms what the hearer has already heard from God. As consoling as this idea may be, the Bible says that the opposite is the case. That is why the Lord put so much emphasis on prophetic acuracy and other prophets bearing witness to the word of God's truth.
Refer to: 1 Corinthians 14:28 and see Prophetic Repetition/Reiteration (below).
Prophetic Repetition, Reiteration ~ The Lord's practice of repeating and re-sending prophecies to people to assure they hear and receive His word, comprehend its effects in their life, and confirm that what they heard is truly from Him.
Throughout the Bible, it is recorded that God sent several prophets on several occasions to restate a prophecy already heard. Sometimes, the same prophet will have to keep repeating it because the hearer fails to take the word seriously or recklessly rejects the messenger. At other times, the word that may have come years earlier is ready to come to pass. To remind the person that what is about to happen to or for them is a direct result of prophecy, God will send a new rash of prophetic voices to them to renew the prophecy and condition the hearer for the word's manifestation in the time.
Later deliveries of the word may add conditions or stipulations that would have been meaningless when the prophecy first came forth.
Prophetic repetition and reiteration are often initiated with unique divine arrangements that set the person up to receive the reiteration. God supernaturally maneuvers circumstances that place the addressees before their assigned prophet so they do not miss the timing and positioning necessary for them to benefit from their long-standing prophecy.

You are welcome Larry ~ Thank you for stopping by ~ You're always so supportive!
The belief that all of us are prophets is why we end up with people like Jim Jones and others who have placed theirself in positions in which they were not "called" to hold. Also known as a false prophet as the word warns us of.
We are all in charge of our life, our world, and what is manifested in it by the power of our thoughts as you have pointed out -- to that I agree. That in no way equates to being a true prophet of the Lord.
Thank you for adding to this Discussion kokomo. I look forward to hearing more from you!

I understand what you're saying in this article. However, I'm not in the choir.

all religions & spiritual traditions are endowed with prophets and prophecies. Sometimes it is one of many gods or goddesses who speak, sometimes it is One. Sometimes it's the Earth or a planet or star system, sometimes it's a stone or a tree. And often as not, it's a child.
You may want to expand further on your comment so that others following this Discussion understand what "the spirit of TRUTH WORKS" is, as well as the various religions & spiritual traditions to which you are referring.
When God is referred to in this Article it is not based upon the premise of many gods or goddessess, nor the earth, nor the planet, nor a star system, nor a stone, nor a tree, nor the little children. It is based upon the One God of the universe. Just God, and none other.
The God of the Christian Faith is Jesus Christ.
If there are others who would like to expound upon prophets and prophecies as they relate to other religions, other belief systems, and other faiths, they are welcome to speak forth.
And, I would definitely like for you to expand upon your comment.
This is a forum for learning, however, I do want everyone to be clear on the topic as far as this Article is concerned.

It should be clear to those who want to know more about Prophets that not ALL are "called" by the Lord to be a Prophet. WE will be discussing the five-fold ministry which is comprised of Apostles, Prophets, Evangelists, Pastors, and Teachers. Just the same as everyone is not "called" to be a Prophet; everyone is not "called" to be an Apostle, an Evangelist, a Pastor, and/or a Teacher.
God equips those He "calls" for the Office the individual is "called" unto.
When teaching the children about the five-fold ministry, I would use my hand as an example so that they would remember the five offices ~
The Thumb ~ being the Apostle
The forefinger ~ being the Prophet ~ the finger that points the way
The middle finger ~ being the Evangelist
The ring finger ~ being the Pastor
The little finger ~ being the Teacher
Each of these positions in the Ministry will be discussed in this Group as well Cassandra. Thank you for reading this Article and passing along your thoughts.
I recommend the book, The Seer by Jim Goll to everyone interested in this topic. I mentioned this book to Apryl, and I hope she has had a chance to read it so that WE can discuss it in the Group. I'll have to ask her . . .
