I recently heard of a minister who was walking through a local market,and his attention was drawn to a lady who was clutching her hand bag,he didn't think much about this, when he felt the Lord speaking to him. He was told to go and speak to that lady/.This is what he was told to say,''Your life is all wrapped up ,like your hand bag'',it turned out that this lady was the wife of a murderer,the murder had happened recently,the minister was able to talk to her and hopefully help her.A friend of mine and his wife were attending a church of a Pastor friend of theirs. The Pastor wasn't speaking but another elder was,he read the scriptures and he look straight at my friend saying,' that was a word for you', and my friend nodded in agreement.Later his minister friend said, 'do you realise what he the preacher meant'?,My friend said ,'not really',his friend told him that the reading was about someone committing adultery.I can assure you that was not true,my friend and his wife are a faithful couple.In 1 Thessalonians 5 v20-22, we are told ,' Do not treat prophecies with contempt. but test them all; hold on to what is good,reject every kind of evil'. There are many cranks,crooks ,twisters, and over enthusiastic people,who declare,'here is the word of God, for you', Don't accept it as necessary true,test all things by the scriptures,one writer puts it like this,'don't be gullible. Check out everything, and keep only what's good. Throw out anything tainted with evil'.
