Prophecy?

<< < (2/2)

vinicle:
Thanks G.Driggs and Arc,
you both nailed this question,
i guess i meant prophecy in the sense of predictions,
it can also mean inspired speaking.
I think thats the distinction i was trying to make.
For example, God told Paul aboard a ship  during a storm, that nobody would die if they all stayed on board, the message was obviously received by those on board the ship as a prophecy(prediction)?

Hi Devine

I am glad you got something from our posts. It is good to see the difference between divination that is an abomination and prophesy that is Godly. Jesus spoke the Words given to Him by God as did Paul and the Prophets and Disciples of God. No Prophet  of God uses divination and no demon can tell the truth.

Here are some more Scriptures to contemplate. :)

 Act 16:16  And as we went to prayer, it happened that a certain girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much gain by divining.
Act 16:17  The same followed Paul and us and cried, saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are announcing to us the way of salvation.
Act 16:18  And she did this many days. But being distressed, and turning to the demonic spirit, Paul said, I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her! And it came out in that hour.

 Deu 18:9  When you come to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, you shall not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations.
Deu 18:10  There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that uses divination, an observer of clouds, or a fortune-teller, or a witch,
Deu 18:11  or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or one who calls to the dead.
Deu 18:12  For all that do these things are an abomination to Jehovah.
