UNDERSTANDING THE PROPHETS

UNDERSTANDING THE PROPHETS The Prophet carries a burden at all times. Not to be misunderstood, that a Prophet is always burdened down. He or she can be the happiest of all around them, but deep inside there lies an all knowing that what is taking place around him at the moment, is only temporal. The knowledge deep inside him is what is really going on. It is the stirring and dealings of God in his life that prepare him for the next God event. God is constantly showing and speaking to the Prophet. Revealing the good, the bad, and the ugly all at the same time. The prophets of old correctly called it the "burden of the Lord."

Prophets may weep when others are laughing, and they may laugh when others are weeping. This is not from the Prophet's insensitivity to the persons around him. I know as a Prophet that I have great passion for people, and care deeply for their well-being. Prophets may seem insensitive to the things that seem important to others. This is because Prophets are seeing form another perspective. They are not moved by the circumstances at present. They are one step ahead of the event that is currently happening and see the outcome of that situation. This is not always a shared information. The timing and workings of God is the Prophet's focus, not the circumstance at present.

Some say Prophets are strange. I guess this is true of some Prophets. The Bible tells us that Elijah was a man just like us. So, Prophets are human and have feelings. They are not so spiritual that they can't have love and concern for others. Actually, Prophets possess great passion and will usually go the extra mile with people in need.

Prophets have no tolerance for foolishness! This does not mean Prophets don't laugh or even crack a funny joke at times. I, being a Prophet love laughter and funny movies, etc. It gives me a break from the foolishness of the Church, or I might need to say the people inside. Prophets detect the spirit of foolishness quickly and will deal with it on the spot. They are quick to discern those around them who are just going through the motions of Christianity.

Let it be known that God's prophets, will give out warnings in the approaching days to come! His prophets will do nothing until God releases them with His word. God has given ample warnings in His word about those who kill His prophets. Many have turned their ear away from hearing God's prophets. The condition of the Church, is the consequences of not listening to God, either directly or through His prophets.
God will always, and I said always, reveal His movement in the earth to His prophets (before) He does anything. In (Amos 3:7) Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets.
God said nothing… would He do,… (nothing),… not - a - thing, until He first reveals it to His Prophets.
The secret of God abides in His prophets, and many will not hear them!
God's prophets are his servants, whom he sends out to speak His will in the earth.
God is sending His prophets out to prophesy to the Nations! God is making ready to reveal His plans to this generation. A generation who has wandered in desert places in search of something spiritual. Now finds itself thirty and panting, for the pure water from the stream. If they could experience just one drop of God's refreshing water, they would never thirst again! I am going, or should I say flowing out to so many might drink from His stream of living water. His well, His river, His stream shall satisfy the thirsty soul. (selah)
Listen to God's prophets and rejoice, for God desires to tell you His secret. The thing He is about to do in the earth and in your life. (selah)

Prophets along with Apostles lay a foundation for the Church to build on. There is only one foundation. Jesus is the foundation for His Apostles and Prophets to build on.

Here are some Bible references for your study time. You do have a study time, hum?

(1 Corinthians 3:10-11) (New King James Version)
10 According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let each one take heed how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

Be careful how you build! Be mindful of the material you are building with. You don't want to be cheap as in poor quality when building God's house. Read The Message translation, below and you can see how careful one must be.

(1 Corinthians 3:10-11) (The Message)
9-15 Or, to put it another way, you are God's house. Using the gift God gave me as a good architect, I designed blueprints; Apollos is putting up the walls. Let each carpenter who comes on the job take care to build on the foundation! Remember, there is only one foundation, the one already laid: Jesus Christ. Take particular care in picking out your building materials. Eventually there is going to be an inspection. If you use cheap or inferior materials, you'll be found out. The inspection will be thorough and rigorous. You won't get by with a thing. If your work passes inspection, fine; if it doesn't, your part of the building will be torn out and started over. But you won't be torn out; you'll survive-but just barely.

In His Rest,
Prophet Rick Fultz
