Dennis Cramer:
"God Has Already Been To Your Future!"
 The
Bible clearly teaches that personal prophecy speaks to potential, to
possibilities, to probabilities--to what I call Kingdom options or choices. It
does not necessarily express certainties, guarantees, or inevitabilities.
Prophecy expresses God's best, His ideal, His ultimate, His perfect purpose for
you--whether realized or not. Or to put it another way, personal prophecy
expresses the conditional will of God, not necessarily the imminent will of God.
Personal Prophecy Expresses the Conditional Will
of God for Your Life
For example, God spoke prophetically to the children of Israel that ALL would
possess the promised land, and He also knew only two out of two million would.
Still, God spoke; He expressed His intent. God spoke prophetically that Saul was
to be king, and He also knew his reign would end disgracefully, prematurely.
Still, God spoke; He expressed His intent. God spoke prophetically that Hezekiah
would die, and God also knew he would live. Still, God spoke; He expressed His
initial intent, and then He extended mercy to Hezekiah and granted him fifteen
more years. God spoke prophetically that Nineveh would be destroyed, and God
also knew He would spare it. Still, God spoke; again, expressing His original
perfect intent in prophecy. God promised prophetically that the priesthood would
never leave Eli's household. He expressed His intent. Yet God also knew Eli's
sons would forfeit this promise by the very next generation. Still, God spoke,
expressing His perfect, prophetic intent.
God Speaks His Perfect Intent in Personal
Prophecy--Whether Realized or Not
If personal prophecy only expresses inevitabilities, then all
the children of Israel would have possessed the land regardless of their
(unbelieving) circumstances. Saul would have continued his reign as king
indefinitely, regardless of his (disobedient) actions. Hezekiah would have
died--there could be no other option. Nineveh would have been quickly destroyed,
and the priesthood would have remained indefinitely in Eli's (evil) household.
Yet, none of these prophetic things happened! Why?
God is never limited in personal prophecy even by His own perfect foreknowledge!
He still chooses to announce His plans and purposes through prophecy even when
He knows the final outcome might not conform exactly or even remotely. All
personal prophecy is highly conditional, and key individuals and certain natural
circumstances must cooperate for it to come to pass in its entirety.
 God
Is Never Limited in Personal Prophecy Even by His Own Perfect Foreknowledge!
The truth is that prophecy is a limited gift with a limited application. God
speaks to prophets on a strict need-to-know basis. He does not always reveal His
hidden prophetic purposes. The Bible says, "God has
glory in what He conceals." (Proverbs 25:2) "The secret things belong to God."
(Deuteronomy 29:29) Elisha said, "The Lord has hidden it from me." (2 Kings
4:27) Paul said "we prophesy (only) in part"
(I Corinthians 13:9). God conceals things from His prophets. He has
certain secrets He does not reveal to them. He hides things from them. He only
allows them to see and speak "in part" on a limited need-to-know basis. In this
sense, prophecy is a risk for everyone involved. It's a risk for the God who
initiates it, and it's a risk for His representative, the prophet, who speaks
it.
So, will we as Christians experience the perfect fulfillment of every true
prophecy spoken over our lives here on earth? Probably not. Is anyone to blame
for this? Is anyone at fault? Not necessarily. It is neither the prophet's fault
nor God's fault. That is just the nature of personal prophecy.
God's word says, "These men (and women) of faith,
though they trusted God and won His approval, (notice: they
trusted God, and won His approval!) none of them
received ALL that God had promised them (prophetically)." (Hebrews 11:39)
So, live each day by faith, and you will
win God's approval. Amen!

"Breaking Christian Curses"
Finding Freedom From Destructive Prayers
by Dennis Cramer
$15.00
Soft Cover Book
$15.00
E-Book
"When I read Breaking
Christian Curses, my first thought was that every church
should have this information." - Francis Frangipane, author of The Three Battlegrounds
Is everything you do a struggle? Are you trapped by feelings of
abandonment and betrayal? Does severe hopelessness keep you in debilitating
despair? Are you immobilized by self-doubt or overwhelming inferiority? You may be cursed! And
you are not alone.
In this startling expose', Dennis Cramer details his 13-year
battle with a "Christian" curse. He shows how God not only
miraculously exposed the source of the curse, but
dramatically delivered him from its devastating effects.
Could you be the victim of spiritual abuse? In order to bring to light this terrible darkness,
Dennis takes you on a journey into the evil world of
"Christian" witchcraft, "Christian" cannibalism, and
"Christian" curses--where you will not only be informed, but
set free!
