The Importance Of Christian Prophetic Guidance

By Harriet Porter


Many times Christians do not know what to do in their walk of faith with God. For this reason they have to seek Christian prophetic guidance. A believer does not have to own the prophecy gift to talk to the Creator. He or she also does not have to be supernatural, just human who walks in upright ways.

Some believers get prophecies as it is the plan of God for the purpose of their lives. Prophetic guidance is to help believers be able to see the intent and purpose for their lives from God. When the prophecy has been revealed, they can walk in accordance to it in order to fulfill the purpose of God. This strengthens their faith.

Everyone who is a believer should be able to hear from the Almighty. This happens when the relationship with God is strong and upright through prayers. When you have made your relationship with Him perfect then you are in line to get prophetic guidance. This relationship and connection should be present and strong at all times.

Predicting the future is not really the true purpose of prophecy. Prophecy seeks to have revealed the unending love God has for His people and the purpose He has for them. For this reasons, the main job for prophets is not to actually serve people as individuals but as the whole church.

The Holy Spirit is part of the trinity and was give to Christians by Christ when he left the earth to come back again. The Spirit is to guide Christians in their daily walk with God. The bible says that when we have the Spirit in us we are not confused of what to do because we have an anointing to know what we need to know.

The apostles as well as Christ himself told Christians to be careful about the false prophets. False prophets speak their own message. To differentiate their message from the right message we have to have the Holy Spirit. If you hear a message from a prophet that you have not heard before from the Spirit then you need to careful about it. The prophets only confirm what the Spirit is saying.

It is unbiblical to turn to prophets for answers. This is because everyone who knows Christ and follows his word has the Holy Spirit who guides them in hearing the word of God Himself. There is no individual in the pastoral world that is meant to replace the work of the Holy Spirit in the life of a Christian. Besides, the word of God is perfect and complete and Christians can rely on it for guidance. This does not mean God cannot use someone else to speak to you.

When under the prophetic guidance be keen of your actions. Let the blessing you have be reflected in all your actions and let them be used to preach the Gospel. Remember to be as holy as Christ and let the gifts he gives you help you to teach others about Him. When in doubt, pray in faith and read the bible to know what God wants you to do.
