PROPHECY Mary Dorian 6-13-21
Isaiah 29:10-14 For Yahweh has poured out over you the spirit of a deep, deep sleep— putting the covers over your slumbering seers[ and rocking all your prophets to sleep.”
11 This entire prophetic revelation will become to you like the words of a sealed book. If it’s given to one who can read it with the command “Read this,” he responds, “I can’t because it is sealed.”
12 Or if it’s given to one who is illiterate with the command “Read this,” he responds, “I can’t because I cannot read.”
13 This is what the Lord says about these people: “They come near to me with hollow words and honor me superficially with their lips; all the while their hearts run far away from me! Their worship is nothing more than man-made rules.
14 So therefore, I will again jolt this people awake with astonishing wonders upon wonders! And the wisdom of their wise ones will fail, and the intelligent know-it-alls will have no explanations. TPT
Isaiah 30:10 They say to the seers: “Stop seeing your visions.” They say to the prophets: “Stop prophesying to us about what is right. Prophesy only pleasant things to us, even if they’re illusions! TPT
Matthew 5:12 So leap for joy—since your heavenly reward is great. For you are being rejected the same way the prophets were before you. TPT
Matthew 5:17 “If you think I’ve come to set aside the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets, you’re mistaken. I have come to bring to perfection all that has been written. TPT
Matthew 7:12 “In everything you do, be careful to treat others in the same way you’d want them to treat you, for that is the essence of all the teachings of the Law and the Prophets. TPT
Matthew 7:15-20 “Constantly be on your guard against phony prophets. They come disguised as lambs, appearing to be genuine, but on the inside they are like wild, ravenous wolves!
16 You can spot them by their actions, for the fruits of their character will be obvious. You won’t find sweet grapes hanging on a thorn bush, and you’ll never pick good fruit from a tumbleweed.
17–19 So if the tree is good, it will produce good fruit; but if the tree is bad, it will bear only rotten fruit and deserves to be cut down and burned. 20 You’ll know them by the obvious fruit of their lives and ministries.” TPT
Matthew 11:12-15 From the moment John stepped onto the scene until now, the realm of heaven’s kingdom is bursting forth, and passionate people have taken hold of its power.
13 For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until John appeared.
14 If you can receive this truth, John is the Elijah who was destined to come.
15 So listen and understand what I’m telling you. TPT.
Matthew 13:17 Many prophets and godly people yearned to see these days of miracles that you’ve been favored to see. They would have given everything to hear the revelation you’ve been favored to hear. TPT
Matthew 23:29-37 “Great sorrow awaits you religious scholars and Pharisees—frauds and imposters! You build memorials for the prophets your ancestors killed and decorate the monuments of the godly people your ancestors murdered. 30 Then you boast, ‘If we had lived back then, we would not have joined them in killing the prophets.’
31 But your words and deeds testify that you are just like them and prove that you are indeed the descendants of those who murdered the prophets. 32 Go ahead and finish what your ancestors started!
33 You are nothing but snakes in the grass, the offspring of poisonous vipers! How will you escape the judgment of hell if you refuse to turn in repentance?
34 “For this reason I will send you more prophets and wise men and teachers of truth. Some you will crucify, and some you will beat mercilessly with whips in your meeting houses, abusing and persecuting them from city to city.
35 As your penalty, you will be held responsible for the righteous blood spilled and the murders of every godly person throughout your history—from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah, son of Jehoiada,[a] whom you killed as he stood in the temple between the brazen altar and the Holy Place.
36 I tell you the truth: the judgment for all these things will fall upon this generation!”
Jesus Prophesies Judgment Coming to Jerusalem
37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem—you are the city that murders your prophets! You are the city that stones the very messengers who were sent[b] to deliver you! So many times I have longed to gather a wayward people, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings—but you were too stubborn to let me.
Matthew 24:11-13 And many lying prophets will arise, deceiving multitudes and leading them away from the path of truth.
12 There will be such an increase of the sin of lawlessness that those whose hearts once burned with passion for God and others will grow cold.
13 But hold your hope firmly to the end and you will experience life and deliverance. TPT
Mark 13:22-23 For there will be imposters falsely claiming to be God’s ‘Anointed One.’ And false prophetswill arise to perform miracle signs, and if it were possible, they would cause God’s chosen ones to wander off the right track.
23 Be alert, for I prophesy all this will happen!” TPT
Luke 11:49 That is why God’s wisdom is proclaiming: ‘I will send to them apostles and prophets though some they will murder and others they will persecute.’ TPT
John 4:44 Now Jesus knew that prophets are honored everywhere except in their own hometown. TPT
Acts 10:43 And not only us, but all of the prophets agree in their writings that everyone who believes in him receives complete forgiveness[a] of sins through the power of his name.” TPT
Acts 13:38-41 So listen, friends! Through this Jesus, the forgiveness[a] of sins is offered to you.
39 Everyone who believes in him is set free from sin and guilt—something the law of Moses had no power to do.
40 So be very careful that what the prophets warned about does not happen to you:
41 ‘Be amazed and in agony, you scoffers! For in your day I will do something so wonderful that when I perform mighty deeds among you, you won’t even believe that it was I who did it!’ ”[ TPT
Acts 15:32 Then Judas and Silas, who were both prophets, spoke to them affirming wordsthat strengthened the believers.TPT
Acts 26:23 Moses and the prophets have said was destined to happen: that our Messiah had to suffer and die and be the first to rise from the dead, to release the bright light of truth both to our people and to the non-Jewish nations. TPT
Rom 1:2 My commission is to preach the good news. Yet it is not entirely new, but the fulfillment of the hope promised to us through his prophets in the sacred Scriptures. TPT
Rom 11:2-6 God has not rejected his chosen, destined people! Haven’t you heard Elijah’s testimony in the Scriptures, and how he prays to God, agonizing over Israel?
3 “Lord, they’ve murdered your prophets; they’ve demolished your altars. Now I’m the only one left and they want to kill me!”
4 But what was the revelation[c] God spoke to him in response?
“You are not alone. For I have preserved a remnant for myself—seven thousand others who are faithful and have refused to worship Baal.”
5 And that is but one example of what God is doing in this age of fulfillment, for God’s grace empowers his chosen remnant.
6 And since it is by God’s grace, it can’t be a matter of their good works; otherwise, it wouldn’t be a gift of grace, but earned by human effort. TPT
1Cor 14:32 The spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets. TPT
Eph 3:5-6 There has never been a generation that has been given the detailed understanding of this glorious and divine mystery until now. He kept it a secret until this generation. God is revealing it only now to his sacred apostles and prophets by the Holy Spirit.
6 Here’s the secret: The gospel of grace has made you, non-Jewish believers, into coheirs of his promise through your union with him. And you have now become members of his body—one with the Anointed One! TPT
Eph 4:11-13 And he has appointed some with grace to be apostles, and some with grace to be prophets, and some with grace to be evangelists, and some with grace to be pastors, and some with grace to be teachers.
12 And their calling is to nurture and prepare all the holy believers to do their own works of ministry, and as they do this they will enlarge and build up the body of Christ.
13 These grace ministries will function until we all attain oneness into the faith, until we all experience the fullness of what it means to know the Son of God, and finally we become one into a perfect manwith the full dimensions of spiritual maturity and fully developed into the abundance of Christ. TPT
James 5:10-11 My brothers and sisters, takethe prophets as your mentors. They have prophesied in the name of the Lordand it brought them great sufferings, yet they patiently endured.
11 We honor them as our heroesbecause they remained faithful even while enduring great sufferings. And you have heard of all that Job went through and we can now see that the Lord ultimately treated him with wonderful kindness, revealing how tenderhearted he really is! TPT
1 Peter 1:10-12 This salvation was the focus of the prophets who prophesied of this outpouring of grace that was destined for you. They made a careful search and investigation of the meaning of their God-given prophecies
11 as they probed into the mysteries of who would fulfill them and the time period when it would all take place. The Spirit of the Anointed One was in them[a] and was pointing prophetically to the sufferings that Christ was destined to suffer and the glories that would be released afterward.
12 God revealed to the prophets that their ministry was not for their own benefit[b] but for yours. And now, you have heard these things from the evangelists[c] who preached the gospel to you through the power of the Holy Spirit sent from heaven—the gospel containing wonderful mysteries that even the angels long to get a glimpse of. TPT
2Peter 1: 17-21 17 Yes, Father God lavished upon him radiant glory and honor when his distinct voice spoke out of the realm of majestic glory, endorsing him with these words: This is my cherished Son, marked by my love. All my delight is found in him!
18 And we ourselves heard that voice resound from the heavens while we were with him on the holy mountain.
Prophecy
19 And so we have been given the prophetic word—the writtenmessage of the prophets, made more reliable and fully validated by the confirming voice of God on the Mount of Transfiguration. And you will continue to do well if you stay focused on it. For this prophetic message is like a piercing lightshining in a gloomy placeuntil the dawning of a new day, when the Morning Starrises in your hearts.
20 You must understand this at the outset: Interpretation of scriptural prophecy requires the Holy Spirit, for it does not originate from someone’s own imagination.
21 No true prophecy comes from human initiative but is inspired by the moving of the Holy Spirit upon those who spoke the message that came from God. TPT
2 Peter 2:1 In the past there arose false prophetsamong God’s people, just as there will continue to be false teachers who will secretly infiltrate in your midst to divide you, bringing with them their destructive heresies. They will even deny the Master, who paid the price for them, bringing swift destruction on themselves.
2 Peter 2:15-16 They have wandered off the main road and have gone astray, because they are prophets who love profit—the wages they earn by wrongdoing. They are following the example of Balaam, son of Beor,
16 who was rebuked for evil by a donkey incapable of speech yet that spoke with a human voice and restrained the prophet’s madness. TPT
1John 4:1-4 Delightfully loved friends, don’t trust every spirit, but carefully examine what they sayto determine if they are of God, because many false prophets have mingled into the world.
2 Here’s the test for those with the genuine Spirit of God: they will confess Jesus as the Christ who has come in the flesh.
3 Everyone who does not acknowledge that Jesus is from God has the spirit of antichrist, which you heard was coming and is already active in the world.
4 Little children, you can be certain that you belong to God and have conquered them, for the One who is living in you is far greater than the one who is in the world. TPT
Acts 2:17-18 ‘This is what I will do in the last days—I will pour outmy Spirit on everybody and cause your sons and daughters to prophesy, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will experience dreams from God.
18 The Holy Spirit will come upon all my servants, men and women alike, and they will prophesy. TPT
Rev19:10 At this I fell facedown at the angel’s feet to worship him, but he stopped me and said, “Don’t do this! For I am only a fellow servant with you and one of your brothers who clings to what Jesus testifies. Worship God. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.” TPT
