The gift that I have been given, is called prophecy. I am mostly visual, although I have been able recieve messages also. My ears are very sensory sensitive. It is has been mostly mainly visual. I don't really care what it is called, it's just something that was given to me by God and I don't want to look up the details of how it all works, not many do this with a beautiful gift given to them. I try and a live my life normally with it and not study myself or observe myself as such. A big part of the reason this was done for protection needed in my life under the grace of God.
A prophet means that someone proclaims a divine message from God. There are different streams Seer versus Nabi-Nabi prophets sometimes sees visions as Seer prophets sometimes but regularly and dominantly Nabi prophets receives inspiration from the Holy Spirit and prophesy to people spontaneously and verbally while Seer prophets receives pictures and visions before prophesying.
May be this might help some people understand a bit more how it works for me. I can get closed eye and open eye visions which I did in the ministry serving God at church at 17.
It has mostly been dormant though my gift and the manfestation resides with me and it has been mostly dormant post 17 like I have
described and working on more of a protective level. God has poured into this when he has wanted to in my lifetime post 17 for my own surivial and journey. We have a good God. I am nothing and God remains everything and Jesus is the true light as well. I am a jack of all trades and hold no
title before God as none of us do as well
God has been guiding me since I was a teenager through my life challenges with chronic health difficulties and autism he has held onto me as well.
Also, the Old Testament has reference
to Seer's (1 Samuel 9:9). The gift of prophecy is one of the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Prophet Joel in the Book of Acts (Joel 2:28) tells us that God's spirit will be poured out again freely on the earth and where are we in this, we don't know. Being provided for decades ago as an outsider with a neurodiversity-and health issues and knowing some people will have had such diversities who have long passed who were not diagnosed and were chosen in this ministry-that God has always known how to make provision and care for his people, whatever generation we are in. In keeping with the Bible though his spirit has not yet stopped falling on everyone regardless if they are neurotypical or not.
Messages revealed in church's, mysteries and wonders are still happening working in the frameworks of the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and ministry. An example of this gift in office after the resurrection was the work of Simeon who was a man of African ancestry who was a prophet and blessed with this prophetic gift of the spirit in this ministry who did great work for the Lord. Jeaus did warn us to test the spirits and prophecy given should should be in line with his ministry work. This lineage has a long history to the Old Testament
I would recommend a brother in Christ's blog on this subject to learn more who has studied the subject in detail and it is his area of expertise on how today's ministry roles are different for Christians compared to the Old Testatment times.
