We come to that time at the end of a year when, many will seek to provide "prophetic words or predictions" in the light of the coming year. I get the sense that many will get their "spiritual crystal balls" out and give so called prophetic words and predictions that will be in the interests of any body wanting to know what the future holds. Yeshua said, "Do not be deceived ..... the end is not yet" See Matthew 24, Mark 13, Luke 21. The pressure becomes great to prophesy and predict future things because people want to know. The temptation then becomes great to give in and simply just prophesy what comes to ones mind and spirit. The result, many false predictions and prophecies, all of which, do not originate from the Spirit of God.
It seems that we assume God lends Himself to the whims of men to give multiple words of prophecy on demand. These things are always "as the Spirit wills". See 1 Corinthians 12. Yeshua has told us of things to come, the apostles Paul, Peter, and John have written things given by inspiration of the Spirit of God of things that will take place in the end of days. In our endeavours to fill in the gaps of the things foretold by Yeshua and the apostles and prophets, we tend to speculate on the order of events. This is because we do not rely on the Spirit of Truth.
In John 16:13, Yeshua says,"However, when He, the Spirit of Truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth. For He shall not speak of Himself, but whatever He hears, He shall speak. And He will announce to you things to come".
All true prophecy comes from the Spirit of Truth; all false prophecy comes from the minds of men and lying spirits. Yeshua's admonitions remain our guide post until the end of all things .... BE ON YOUR GUARD, BE ALERT, WATCH & PRAY, DO NOT BE DECEIVED. The Spirit of Truth will guide us into all truth, let us therefore, walk and live by the Spirit.
What will 2014 bring?? Wars and rumours of wars, nation against nation ,unrest in nations, internal conflicts, economies collapsing, famines, floods, pestilences, earthquakes in various places, increased arrogance and pride, unholy desires, lovers of pleasure and selfish desire more than lovers of God. Let us not forget, there will be persecution of believers even more as we enter that time period when the mark of the beast becomes compulsory. One thing is certain, there will be an increase of these things in the coming year and years to come, but all the while God will be at work bringing about His holy desire in and amongst His people. Grace be with you all.
