Part 2
We mentioned last week that the gifts of the Spirit are broken into 3 distinct categories: Heteros - the member of a series distinct from those which proceed but carry the series forward
and Allos creates what might be considered a chain between the mentioned creating relationship
Gifts of man’s intellect empowered by the Holy Spirit - Knowledge & Wisdom
Gifts that require man & Spirit in action; Faith, Healing, Miracles, Prophecy, discerning of Spirits
Gifts that operates totally in the Spirit, Tongues and the Interpretation of tongues
Lets look at Prophecy:
propheteia - making a public declaration, making known, found in the root of predict, prediction, carries the sense of fourth or fore as in foretell
The ability to deliver representative declarations of the mind, will or knowledge of God
It wasn’t until the 5th century that it took on the mystic form of “to tell the future” in the sense that we think about it
The focus wasn’t originally on the telling of the future but rather disclosing the current will and direction of God for growth, correction and warning
While the OT prophets dealt clearly in future revelation, the NT believer had direct link to God through the Holy Spirit for clear direction and understanding of his or her life
That is not to say that God does not speak about future events to His prophets but it is n’t the main focus of the prophetic
Prophetes clearly belongs to the religious sphere, where it denotes one who speaks in the name of a god declaring the divine will and counsel of god..
In the NT we find the word used 144 times - 37 in Matt Lk 30 Acts 14
We see a special knowledge of the future by: Agabus
many have a word about the past
Profetis - woman
We need to remember that when it comes to these practices we currently do not have full understanding because of our sin nature
Paul encouraged the believer to exercise their gift
Paul encouraged Timothy to stir up the gift
Just as it is in faith the prophet speaks, the hearer is charged to discern as well!
Of course there are psudo prophets - those who claim to be prophets without any truth!
It seems then to indicate that NT prophets are inspired speakers through whom God’s plan for the believer, community and world are made known.
The prophet has knowledge of divine mysteries of whichhe or she makes known
The prophet not only proclaims what God intends to do; he also proclaims what has done and will do for man
The prophet admonishes the indolent and weary and consoles and encourages those under assault.
Through his preaching he brings to light the secret wickedness of men and with God-give authority, give authoritative instruction, though he is not above criticism
