Recording God's Word

As a prophet part of my time is spent recording God’s word, and then how it comes to pass. This is the example we have in both the Old and New Testament of the Bible. In reading what is recorded for us by others we learn from what God says and does . . . we learn about His nature. We see that King David used his psalms to proclaim God’s mighty works. In Psalm 22 we read that a seed will serve God, and they will tell future generations about God’s righteousness (vs 30-31). I have often wondered who in our generation is recording God’s words and works for the future generation.

Sea of Glass is a web site dedicated to the recording of God’s word through only one person; myself. If I went back through the annals of my life, I could record the coming to pass of many prophecies and what I learned about God’s nature. Though I have recorded these things, I wonder if others record the prophecies they see God bring to pass in their lives. And finally, I wonder how we will pass these words and acts of God on to future generations. How will we compile them, and pass them along as part of our faith?

Part of the problem with recording prophecy is the increasing unbelief in which it is received. There is an angst permeating Christianity concerning prophecy, and it comes at a time when the Spirit of Prophecy is moving amongst the believers. The distrust of prophecy and subsequent unbelief is a spiritual onslaught perpetrated by the enemy of our souls. The stirring up of prophecy by God’s Spirit is from Him and is for preparation of each person, and for His people as a whole.

We overcome the world by our faith (1 Jn 5:4), and faith comes by hearing the word of God (Rom 10:17). Overcoming and hearing God cannot be separated. We may read about what God has said, which is recorded for us by men moved by the Spirit of Prophecy, or we may “hear” what God is saying, by the same Spirit (1 Pet 1:21). Though we have trials, they are to work faith in us, which is most precious (1 Pet 1:7).

In Revelation 12 we read about a woman giving birth to a man-child. He and his fellow siblings all have the Testimony of Jesus, which is the Spirit of Prophecy (12:17). However, satan is poised in a position to devour the man-child, and then to pursue the siblings with war. This is a spiritual picture of the times we live in, and how satan hates and seeks to destroy those who have the Spirit of Prophecy. He positions himself in our brethren, amongst friends and family members to tear down faith and destroy the words God speaks. So in a time like this, it is all the more important to encourage each other in the rhemas word of God and watching for it to come to pass. If we can stand, we will see victory. And if we see victory, we will have much to tell the following generations.

God has fought mightily for me and my family. His great acts are not over. We live in an exciting time and serve and exciting God. I’d like to encourage you to share the testimonies of overcoming with each other, and to keep a written record of what God has done in your lives and the lives of those you’ve prayed for. One thing I invite you to join me in is prayer for a corporate written account of these acts so that we might pass them along to others, now, and in the times to come. Thank you, and God bless.
