Prophecy should always be positive, encouraging, upbeat and send a thrill up your leg

Prophecy should always be positive, encouraging, upbeat and send a thrill up your leg.

Right?

If you agree with this you haven't read your Bible in a while. I do my best to frame prophetically what is ahead to not create undue anxiety. Some Prophets are good at giving really bad news and making you happy about it. Jeremiah did in the beloved passage (For I know the plans I have for you), but read it all in context. Bad news, but preparing the people. Equipping.

If you consider yourself a prophet and won't equip the people for what is coming you will be judged by Father for your failure. The truth is things are about to get rough, the truth is, when you come out the other side it will be much much better than it was and you will never look back longing for the former days.

Read Ezekiel 36. Bad news but hope. If modern prophets would just follow the pattern set in Scripture we would have less foolishness and more sincere direction from the Lord.

Prophets, Prophesy truth, but hold promise. EVERY PROPHET in history did that.

Prophets Prophesy!
