And that's why I questioned your judgment when you wrote in post #99 that you dreamed "President Bush was assassinated on the 27th."
Are these words of yours that God will abundantly confirm in due course?
We don't have to post everything we think, feel, dream. Discretion is not a bad word. You posted very irresponsibly, IMO. If you had made this assertion on a telephone, you'd have men in suits at your doorstop this morning.
I'm pinging the brass on FR to clarify if making statements like these are permissible or prudent at this time.
Dr E,
Evidently, you have trouble reading plain English.
I did not have such a dream. I very, very rarely have a prophetic dream.
Neither did the person who's dream I posted.
The person who's dream I posted felt that, interpreted from their personal experience of their dream that God was possibly/probably WARNING them to pray to prevent The President from coming to harm at some unknown future month on the 27th.
Some of us have noted a rise in such inputs in The Body of Christ in the last few months and particularly the last several weeks. Some feel that the month of Oct that we are now end will end up having had a rash of devastating terrorist attacks across the USA and around the world.
Such prophetic phenomena, whether you think so or not, are WELL WITHIN the Biblical descriptions of what God will do in the end times as witnessed by Joel's Scripture which Peter quoted in Acts 2:
Acts 2:17
" 'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.
There are some very spiritual, very discerning, very Spirit filled and Spirit led folks hereon. And, there are A LOT OF VERY PRAYERFUL INTERCESSORS HEREON. It felt and seems very prudent to me to have such individuals evaluate such dreams and prophetic visions and other inputs to discern better how we are to pray to intercede for our nation and our beloved President.
Focused prayers in unity and unison have much greater impact. I would consider it irresponsible to avoid calling for such prayers or to avoid facilitating an increase of such prayers.
Jim R VERY GRACIOUSLY consented ahead of time to my posting such a thread in chat. He is well able and within his rights to pull it or do whatever he wishes with it. It's his turf; his living room, his authority. And I respect whatever decision he makes.
Dr E, you, sir, and your cohorts flood into whatever religious thread jangles your sensibilities. You then procede to castigate all who disagree with you as being beyond the pale for whatever particular doctrinal interpretation or denominational, theological, ego driven distinctive you feel all hot and bothered about at the moment.
In short order, a thread which may have been doing well or which may have had great potential for folks of like minded Biblical interests and sensibilities--becomes a dreary drag because of your arrogant and sanctimonious pontifications and diatribes. The distaste you engender is so palpable that most good hearted people just leave to avoid associating with anything you're touching, distorting and otherwise dragging down.
You succeed in silencing those who disagree with you primarily because few people enjoy wrestling with a skunk. You probably pat yourself on the back that it's because of how perfectly right you presume to be about all your tidy little boxes.
Rant away. Regardless of your successes hereon in silencing people; chasing them away from otherwise Kingdom productive and fruitful threads . . . or even regardless of your persuasiveness with your idiotic assertions about what's been posted as you try to pressure the powers that be to silence those who disagree with you further . . . at some point, God Almighty will weigh in on the topic whether on FR or otherwise in your life. You will have no appeal to any higher authority then. I hope you respond wisely at that point.
I still strongly encourage you to start your own thread and have the decency to leave this one alone that we may profitably and fruitfully sort through the vast complexities of the topic and of the world we now find ourselves in.
Most sincerely,
BTW, DR E,
I'd be delighted to talk to folks responsible for safety of our beloved President.
I'd relish the chance to tell them how much we are praying for THEM and to encourage THEM to pray earnestly these days for their efforts, their safety as well as the safety of our beloved President.
BTW, I'm sure the Secret Service does much better at reading plain English than you seem to.
I'm beginning to understand where your problems arise from in terms of understanding plain Scriptures in The Bible about prophetic inputs and other important Biblical issues, principles and even doctrines.
