The Terror of the Prophetic

The other night while with other prophets talking till the wee hours of the morning about what is going on in the Spirit I mentioned how sometimes when I have a clear powerful word for a person I am fearful of giving it.

Sometimes when I give such a word it all comes to pass even when I didn't hope or want it to. I want good for people but sometimes a warning is God's best.

It seems like God will carry out his prophetic word He has chosen to give thru me even if it isn't what I might have wanted to say or do.

Then Prophet Bruce handed me a Bible and asked me to read this passage from Isaiah 44.

24 This is what the Lord says—

your Redeemer and Creator:

“I am the Lord, who made all things.

I alone stretched out the heavens.

Who was with me

when I made the earth?

25 I expose the false prophets as liars

and make fools of fortune-tellers.

I cause the wise to give bad advice,

thus proving them to be fools.

26 But I carry out the predictions of my prophets!

By them I say to Jerusalem, ‘People will live here again,’

and to the towns of Judah, ‘You will be rebuilt;

I will restore all your ruins!’

27 When I speak to the rivers and say, ‘Dry up!’

they will be dry.

28 When I say of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,’

he will certainly do as I say.

He will command, ‘Rebuild Jerusalem’;

he will say, ‘Restore the Temple.’”

TLV

I suddenly was able to see by scripture that this fear and trembling is well founded. I want never ever to give a word to a person, a Church or a Ministry that isn't directly from the Throne as it Speaks. I want to be accurate and encouraging.

The Lord carries out the words of His Prophets for His Name's Sake. That terrifies me no end. I will not take the name of the Lord in Vain. If I ever give you a word you can trust it or God will take me out. That is the Terror of the Prophetic.
