All About Seeking Christian Prophetic Guidance

By Harriet Porter


A lot of Christians are at a loss on what to do as they walk in faith with God. When this happens, it is necessary to look for Christian prophetic guidance. When you believe in Christ you do not have to have the gift of prophesying for a chance to talk with God. Moreover, being human is enough as long as your life matches His rule.

There are many believers who get to have prophecies because it is in alignment with Gods purpose for humanity. Prophetic guidance helps believers see the intention and purpose of God into their lives. After revelation of a prophecy we are then able to carry themselves in accordance to them. This is a way to strengthen faith.

All believers and followers of Christ have the ability to hear from God. This ability is made possible when there is a strong relationship between you and the Creator through active powerful prayers. When this has been achieved, you can receive prophetic guidance. To receive prophecies one must have a good relationship with God with a special connection.

Prophecy is not really about foretelling about future events before they happen. It is about making known the heart of God the Almighty to his people and to remind them of His will and purpose for their lives. A prophet is not only to serve individuals but the church as a whole. Prophecy does not come alone it should always confirm the message of the Holy Spirit.

When prophecy is revealed it is not alone, its preceded by the same message from the Helper. The Helper is the Holy Spirit and the gift from Christ he had promised on his day of ascension to Heaven. The helper helps Christians walk upright in God. This is in the scriptures that people who walk with the Spirit are never confused about what to do as He guides them through anointing to tell right from wrong.

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 against the bible to seek your answers solely from the prophets. True followers of Christ have the Spirit to help them hear the word of God and understand it. No one should substitute this important role of the Helper. Besides, as the scriptures say, the word is perfect and also complete in itself. It is perfect to counsel, convict and guide everyone who reads it. Messages from God could also come through others.

Remember to be cautious of your actions under prophetic guidance as it should be reflected in them. In addition, you should you use them to spread the Gospel further through your lifestyle. The challenge is to be holy as Christ is and use His gifts to teach others be like him. The bible should always be the reference for every step you make in your life always after a prayer that is made in faith.
