ABOUT VARIED PROPHECIES FOR THE YEAR 2002:

==========================================

Prophets get pieces of the puzzle. That is why many different prophetic voices write their own revelation for what God has told THEM for this year.

Where the lists of what God is saying-- vary between prophetic people, that does not NECESSARILY mean one person is right and one is wrong (Though there are prophecies sent to me from time to time that don't seem to have the Lord's heart.) But true prophetic revelation must be pieced together to get a more complete picture. God wants it that way it seems-- as He's the ONE who apportions the many pieces of the whole puzzle to individual prophets--or prophetic people--rather than giving all revelation to only one prophet.

1 Cor 13:9 "For we know in part and we prophesy in part..."

I will be publishing A FEW of the many pieces FOR 2002. Let's piece it together. We ALL know in part and ALL WHO PROPHESY--DO SO IN PART! Any seasoned prophet will confirm that this is the way it works. No one prophet has the whole picture. Not one!!

One final note: One prophet may say this year will be the darkest yet.. Another may say that God's Glory will be brighter this year than in any past year. They could both be right...as the Scripture illustrates with Isaiah's prophecies:

"See, DARKNESS COVERS THE EARTH and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the LORD rises upon you and HIS GLORY APPEARS OVER YOU. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn." Isa 60:2-3

We must learn to share what God is telling US, without detracting necessarily from what He is telling others. We won't agree with each other completely--about each prophecy. But we are instructed NOT to show contempt for prophecies.

1Thes 5:20-21 "Do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good."

With that in mind, let's open the puzzle box and pour out the pieces. I like to start with the edges.
