Ezekiel: God who travels Chapter 10

 True prophet and prophecy

In chapter 13 (NIV) God asks Ezekiel to prophesy to these false prophets. Hmm...Did God promote Ezekiel as a leader among all prophets? Did God just make him the Prophet leader among all prophets? Let's know more.

What is a prophet? This is regarded as an inspired teacher or proclaimer of the will of God. A person prophecying the prophecies of what will happen would truly happen in the future.

What does "prophecy" really mean? I love this answer: an inspired divine will and purpose, a prediction of something to come.

What does "prophesy" really mean? Their differences? 

Prof-a-see or prophesy is a noun and it means "a prediction".

Prof-a-sigh or prophecy is a verb and it means "to predict" This is the act of prophesy.

So much to say, but knowing the differences will teach us the right mind to think and grow our faith in it. 

It has been said that prophecy is a spiritual gift from the Holy Spirit. Not everyone will have, not all will be given these nine (9) supernatural graces namely: the word of knowledge, increased faith, the gifts of healing, the gift of miracles, prophecy, the discernment of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, interpretation of tongues. 

It is the Holy Spirit's task to send these gifts to humans who are tasked in return to fulfill the mission of the church. 

That's why I opened this series impressing, from the start, it is the work of the Holy Spirit who has been actively empowering Ezekiel to stand before God, holding the angels, and working with other angelic beings involved in chapter 1, these wheels described was all due to divine works of the Holy Spirit.

That's why many would really fall if they forget to see who is behind all of this. Before anyone would stand before God, you should feel the Holy Spirit's power first. And the work in you is not by your human might but "already by the Spirit of God."

I don't know about you, but if you haven't had that sense of knowing, chances are... the Holy Spirit is not yet at work in you.

 

When the Holy Spirit overtakes you, no one will know it is you. It is like not you anymore. But as if, God Himself already appeared, before you wish to see or even knew
