Good morning. Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others
pass judgment. This has been used to say that like the “messages in tongues“
you should have at most two or three prophecies in the service. There are a
couple of things to note. First of all, it says prophets. Just because you give
a prophecy, does not mean that you are a prophet. You are just operating in
that gift. If I remember correctly, Kenneth Hagan used to say that to be a
prophet you had to operate in two or three other gifts of the Spirit also. I
personally do not know what differentiates between someone who regularly
operates in the gift of prophecy and one who is a prophet. What I do know is
that like I’ve said before, too many people are going around proclaiming that they
are a prophet. The second thing is that it says to let them speak; it does not
say to let them prophesy. They are two different Greek words. In the book of
Acts it talks about Judas and Silas, also being prophets encouraged and
strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message. The word message also is not
the word for prophecy. Because people think that it means two or three
prophecies, they believe the “others passing judgment” is passing judgment upon
the prophecies. But since it says let two or three prophets speak, I disagree
with them, and I will explain why tomorrow. Father continue to give wisdom and
direction to the reader.
Unless one is born of water and the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God
Good morning. While Jesus was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing. Jesus was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men. Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. It doesn’t say, but I assume it is still during this time of the Passover. This man came to Jesus by night. Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do the signs that You do unless God is with him. It just said that the people believed in His name because of the signs He was doing; yet it does not say what those signs were. Unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. That is why unbelievers cannot tell what is of the kingdom of God and what is not – they’re not born again. Nicodemus doesn’t have a clue. How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother’s womb and be born, can he? Unless one is born of water and the Spirit ...
