Hey Darren,
I once had a close friendship with a women whom claimed to be a prophet of God, I still question allot of weird things that happened associated with her, but I'm pretty confident she was a deceived Wolf. I don't have a good understanding of what a prophet is. Sometimes people have different meanings for words. I certainly think Ray is Special and an Anointed Teacher, and a great blessing to the body of Christ.
I follow your thinking, about the "Revelational" knowledge concerning our Past that Ray is teaching on in the conference! I'm just unsure of a title or label that fits.
I think like minded with the others in that "Spiritual Gifts" come and go, and don't really take residence in us. They operated according to Gods will, and I have even seen them operated through an unbeliever! But I also see people who have personality traits that are teachers, musicians, writers, actors, homemakers, bankers, etc. These are also gifts from God, but somewhat different.
Dave has a gift for music, Beloved has a gift for healing. These gifts are unique from person to person, and are part of the purpose that God has for their lives. When they are Spiritual Gifts I refer back to Dave's comments about the peeking out of the package.
From what I know of you through this forum, I would guess you have a gift of kindness and humility, which I would like to possess more of. That is worth more than knowledge. Knowledge may be power, but it is a tool also of the wicked!
Blessings,
Brenda
P.S. Pam..thanks for pointing that faith to love to hope...never saw it that way
