Good morning. Back to the “let two or three prophets speak“: but
if a revelation is made to another who is seated, the first one must keep
silent. Now if it were talking about them prophesying, we would have the
following scenario: One of them would be standing up saying something like
this, “Thus saith the Lord…“ Right in the middle of him/her prophesying,
another prophet would stand up, interrupting the prophecy because he/she had
been given a revelation. That would be total chaos like Paul has been speaking
against in a church service. I can think of a couple of other possibilities.
The prophet is giving a “three point sermon“, while the other prophets are
passing judgment on his/her message. (We forget that everything was new to
them. They did not have the New Testament. They were getting OJT). In the
middle of the message (some of which may be just the person’s opinion), God
reveals something about the topic to another prophet seated which needs to be
shared with the people. Another possibility comes because of its juxtaposition
to the two or three “messages in tongues”. Ever since I started my walk in this
experience, there will be a prophecy or tongues with interpretation in a
service. Everyone says “oh how wonderful“, and that’s as far as it goes. The
pastors never say “OK now let’s examine what God was talking about“. They just
go on to the next part of the service. Suppose that there was tongues with
interpretation. One of the prophets gets up to give their opinion on what God
was talking about. While they are talking, God gives a revelation to another
one who is seated about what He really meant. We will finish this passage
tomorrow. Father continue to go with the reader and his/her family. Give them
comfort and wisdom about what to do.
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 ...
