I am not too sure I want to chase dreams, pictures I can cope with
Actually moved to online for the most part.Keep in mind, the public schools are government-run institutions regulated by federal, state and local law, which means they could rightly be applied as "government" here, and the entire public education system in the United States has been shut down for months.
Why wouldn't we accept it at face value? For what it says? This doesn't say permanently, but it does say shut down.Yes. Well, I strongly doubt the government would ever come to a complete halt. If that ever happened, there would be lawlessness and anarchy in the streets. But it's a question of to what extent "bars, church and government will shut down" is to be taken literally, and to what it refers to specifically. The churches as a whole never shut down completely either, though many did close their doors for a time.
Perhaps sometime we might have a discussion in how the gifts of the Spirit work. We seem to have different ideas about that too!The prophetic gifts are not easily operated in,

So then if it doesn't, does that mean we can all accept that this wasn't a valid prophecy?It’s important to remember that our prime minister was really seriously ill with this virus.......he couldn’t work, but the government continued running ......there are always back up plans .....so surely your country would have the same ........It would be amazing if the government came to a halt in the USA
This is exactly what I expect.But it was not the Spirit of God speaking. Such voices will likewise be silenced on occasion, but expect it to continue and greatly increase until the return of the Lord Jesus Christ in power
If they are flash images, then they are no different to the pictures I receive at times.....HIH, I have been a Christian for 45 years, and have always been open to what the Lord wants to use ..........as I have just said, I probably have already been experiencing dreams , but interpret them as pictures because they come during the day, not at night ( accept for the one in November last year ) I am open with all the gifts, but I am not sure I desire all of them as much as others at the moment......that will undoubtedly change xWe refer to them as "flash images," though I'm sure others refer to them by different names. Let the Lord use you as He wills. You do not have to necessarily be able to interpret the dreams He gives. He prefers it when members of His body operate together in bringing forth the message; one gives a tongue, the other gives an interpretation of tongues; one gives a prophecy, and the other receives revelation concerning that prophecy (1 Corinthians 14:26-31). The purpose is so that we value one another, as each playing a role in the utterance of the Spirit of God.

When I added ‘ but who knows ‘ I was referring to me chasing the gift of dreams ....I wasn’t doubting that conviction about hearing from God x ( I re read my post and it came across in the wrong way xI think that God is able to speak to us, and if we're not getting a clear communication, maybe it's not from God.
Much love!
Likely, LoL. But such discussions often get dominated by people who have no actual experience in the matter (or have ever even attempted to do so). I have no problem with people quoting scriptures on the subject, but I have problems with them automatically assuming that anyone who disagrees with their position should be dismissed out of hand. Disturbs me. It is an important gift, and those who actually have some experience in it shouldn't be automatically disregarded on some supposed "scriptural" basis.
Not you, mind you. I just mean people. Most Cessationists on the forums are extremely closed-minded and quick to condemn anyone who even hints about operating in the gift. They are either "lying," or being "prideful," or being "used by demons" as false teachers. These ready dismissals invariably come hard and fast, with no consideration whatsoever to what is actually being said.
I have no idea, I have tended to keep an open mind on some of the prophesy that is coming out of the woodwork from the past......it’s a bit like revelations and all the speculation over what will happen , when and how .......there is just so much that it whizzes round your head and gives you a headache !!So then if it doesn't, does that mean we can all accept that this wasn't a valid prophecy?
It's enough for me to wait and see.I have no idea, I have tended to keep an open mind on some of the prophesy that is coming out of the woodwork from the past......it’s a bit like revelations and all the speculation over what will happen , when and how .......there is just so much that it whizzes round your head and gives you a headache !!

I think Scripture encourages us to look to fulfilled prophecy from the Old Testament; this is very reassuring.Amen to that Marks xx
Yes, but it also gives insights into how God can and does communicate .............I think Scripture encourages us to look to fulfilled prophecy from the Old Testament; this is very reassuring.
