Prompted
2 Peter 1:19-21(TMSG)
19We couldn’t be more sure of what we saw and heard—God’s glory, God’s voice. The prophetic Word was confirmed to us. You’ll do well to keep focusing on it. It’s the one light you have in a dark time as you wait for daybreak and the rising of the Morning Star in your hearts.
20The main thing to keep in mind here is that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of private opinion.
21And why? Because it’s not something concocted in the human heart. Prophecy resulted when the Holy Spirit prompted men and women to speak God’s Word.
We have the old saying the devil made me do it, could we say he prompted me to do it. A lot of the times our flesh or human nature will prompt us into doing things that later we regret. I have never regretted something that I knew the Holy Spirit prompted me to do. A lot of times He (the Holy Spirit) gets the blame or God for stupid things we do. We'll say things like "you know brother the spirit lead (prompted) me to do it, I didn't want to but God made me" In truth God was a million miles away. There are many things the Spirit will prompt us to do, not just prophecy sometimes he might ask you to give someone a word of encouragement, or a bottle of water, maybe buy someone diners or there groceries at the store. I say all this to say don't make something up and blame it on God saying he told you to do it. As you read the scriptures above realize when God speaks they aren't things just made up in a humans mind. They are from God! And guess what everyone around knows it. We don't fool others. So today listen for His promptings and act on them. As your being a blessing Today
