False Prophesy

Last fall it was the first time in my life when I prophesied. It is ridiculous to admit, but I went to the church for 11 years and never prophesied. And for me too there were no   big prophesies, perhaps people prophesied to me two or three times in 11 years. I didn’t meet prophesies for many times in my life.

And after one man prophesied to me I realized that I would never want anyone to prophesy to me and would never prophesy to anyone. That prophecy brought a lot of pain in my life, because it was a false prophecy, and I closed my heart completely.

It happens somehow that lately I often hear about how people bring pain by their prophecy, and I am very confused. Thing that I have come across was the right vision, but absolutely wrong interpretation. For more clarity I’ll show it on my own example. I hope that this will save you from injuries and help you forgive.

We sat in a circle with about 7 or 8 people. All of us had different levels of experience in the prophecy, and there was a senior leader of the group, who serves as a prophet for years and everyone knew that he is cool. Personally I was not familiar with the man, but had heard about him. And of course, when he was sent to be our group leader, I was very, very happy. After all that was the first time I would prophesy, and I would also say, that man was a good teacher.

I was very excited when everything started, because one girl told me about her picture, and Holy Spirit simultaneously explained to me, what it meant. Then the second person told his prophesy, and again the Holy Spirit explained me everything. And everything was fine until the turn came to the Prophet. He started talking about the picture: it was a beautiful garden, and it was my heart, but around the garden he could see the fence, and the gates were very high. The keys to the gates were mine. And then at the gates, he saw a man whom I did not let in the garden. Then he had a second vision. He saw me on a two-seated bike, but I was there alone. And it was very difficult for me to keep that bike because the wheel should not be mine. And nearby stood the one who should have been with me on that bike. As he spoke, my heart was very underwhelming before the Lord, because I knew who he was talking about. If in the first picture a doubt could appear as to who could it be behind the gates, after the picture with the bike I knew who was that person. It was a particular person in my life.

But there, the prophet decided to interpret the picture to me. And when I heard the phrase my tears of contrition turned into tears from the pain. He said that the man who stands at the gates and the man who should keep the wheel of  the bike was Jesus, and that I should let Him into the garden, and to the bicycle.

And then a mess started in my head. I absolutely could not compare what he said with the relationship I have with Jesus. In my spirit I began to cry out to God and ask, "Is it true? You are not in my heart?'. The thing is that for me a bicycle is fatherhood, and the man who should keep the wheel is my father, and when the prophet said that it was Jesus who stood near the bicycle I was very hurt. I did not understand anything.

At that time I had no idea that intelligent people can make mistakes, and that I must first of all believe my own feelings, rather than people in uniform. The most interesting thing was that my mind did not agree with the things I heard, and I thought I was rebelling against the word of God, which condemned me.

 I went to this prophet and asked him one more time what he meant, because he was an American, and I was hoping that it was something in the translation that I did not understand. But my hopes were dashed, because he repeated the same thing. And when I asked him what should I do, he shrugged and told me to relax and take it easy, and then Jesus would come. This advice has led me to more confusion, because I knew at that time I was relaxed and completely devoted to Him. In short, it hurt me very much but I thought that I just needed to think about it and understand what I was doing wrong, that Jesus was not in my heart, and that He was not with me on the bike.

God had to put a lot of effort for me to  hear Him among all the lies that have been poured on me. But what does not kill you makes you stronger! Thank God that He is always with us and will not let us. He helped me to understand that all is well with me and our relationship is close. By this situation He taught me to trust my own spirit, but not to people who have experience. He showed me how easily in the prophecy  spirit and flesh may be confused. After I went through the fire, I was grateful for this prophet for his mistake. Yes, I had to go the hard way, but I remember for the rest of my life that no one can know me better  than I  and God. I remember how attentive to God you have to be when prophesying to others, how important it is not to add your  own, and listen to the last words the prophecy of the Holy Spirit.

My dear, if you've ever had to deal with these feelings, I beg you, do not judge the person who told you false prophesy, do not believe in  lie, but let God bless you. I know, it's hard not to believe it when it is said by  people with the highest rank, but they are just people, and you have to trust and believe God. Do not let it poison you and steal God's love. Let the grace and mercy of God be always with you! Blessings.
