After all, the prophets spoke and few understood. But sometimes the meaning of the prophecy comes through to even those who are not right with God. The Holy Spirit works in all unbelievers to get them to believe. He does the work. <BR/><BR/>The Bible tells us that "in the last days God will pour out his spirit upon all flesh. Young men will dream dreams, old men will prophesy." IT doesn't say God will only pour out his spirit on all who believe in Christ or all who understand God's ways, but on all flesh. God is working. <BR/><BR/>Yep, the website is down. I have to put it back up again.<BR/><BR/>-CCarole McDonnellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443401088634718848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12177793.post-15234722580671724882008-09-21T00:30:00.000-04:002008-09-21T00:30:00.000-04:00I checked your website you gave in your profile an...I checked your website you gave in your profile and at the top of your blog, but it was down. Maybe that was just temporary - I can try again later.<BR/><BR/>I also have a free book about Bible prophecy, <A HREF="http://www.ptgbook.org" REL="nofollow"> Preaching the Gospel </A>. <BR/><BR/>One of the things I point out in my book is that a key to understanding prophecy is to be right with God. Specifically, we have to be willing to trust God, to believe what He says in the Bible, and to strive to do our best to obey His commandments.<BR/><BR/>If we do these things, God will help us understand Bible prophecy, but if we don't, we are more vulnerable to Satan's deceptions and will more likely have a false concept of prophecy.<BR/><BR/>Also, prophecy is important because fulfilled prophecy is one of the proofs that the Bible is inspired by God.author@ptgbook.orghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775228362728122027noreply@blogger.com
