So, what can a New Testament believer do to help bring a personal prophetic word to pass in his (or her) life?
C. If The Prophetic Words Are Confirmed, Then What? (Continued)
Therefore, brethren, be all the more diligent to make certain about His calling and choosing you; for as long as you practice these things, you will never stumble. (2 Peter 1:10)
If we are convinced, and know that we know, that we have true prophetic words for our lives, who can stop these words from coming to pass?
Jesus? If He is unable to bring His prophetic words to pass in our lives, then He is a liar; and Jesus is not a liar. He is the Truth.
Satan and his demons? If you are trusting in the Lord and walking with Him, Satan may cause some problems, but in the end, he will bow his knees to the Lord’s prophetic words for you. He’s the defeated one, not Jesus or His words.
Us? Sadly, we are the weak link in bringing a prophetic word to pass in our own lives.
Then Elijah said, “I have been very zealous for the Lord, the God of hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down your altars and killed Your prophets with the sword. And I alone am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. (1 Kings 19: 14)
Most of us suffer in varying degrees from the Elijah-complex, in that we think our prophetic words are just too difficult and too impossible for the One who spoke them to us to make them happen.
“Woe is me! And Jesus, You are not powerful enough, nor do You have enough grace to help me through these impossible circumstances! Everyone is against me! Yada Yada Yada!”
Okay, I’m guilty! I’ve sang these litanies of woe, and even told Jesus one morning, “Lord, I’m too lonely and I hurt too much to continue onward.”
Can you guess what His instant reply was to me?
“Larry, it was lonely at the cross and I hurt!” He said to my heart.
How do you offer a sufficient comeback to this reply? I could not think of one. So, I knew I had to change my thinking.
I made up my mind to believe that Jesus was able to bring every true prophetic word in my life to pass. No matter how impossible it seemed. No questions asked. No doubts. No thinking. Just, “Yes, Lord, I believe You are able. Period”
And also, I made up my mind to pray and fast for other believers who were undergoing similar trials of faith.
Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body. (Hebrews 13:3)

Good stuff…Thank you…I needed to read this today.
I am struggling to just stay in the park let alone the game.
God speaks in strange places…Including the internet.
icarushasfallen,
Hang in there. You are always in the game with Jesus on your side.
reverendright,
OOps! I meant to remove my wife’s comment and I removed yours in my haste, but thanks for your encouraging words.
When Peter saw what they all at first thought was a ghost walking across the Sea of Galilee, he said, “Lord if that be you, bid me come”.
Unfortunately there are very few believers who keep a weather eye open for Jesus wandering past them on their earth (or water) bound journeys today. If WE did, then HE would, -that is bid us out of our boat where we feel so safe.
Peter was an impetuous character, frequently getting hold of the wrong end of the stick. Most today don’t even see the stick because again, they are not looking for one, their eyes are far too blinkered by their traditioins.
Peter, on the other hand, was always willing to have a go and get it wrong, and yet so often we hear of his “lack of faith”, in sinking when he walked on the water.
However there is one thing in this story that we must observe. That simple fact is that as Peter got out of the boat and started to walk, WHEN HE SANK, JESUS WAS THERE TO GRAB HIS HAND.
Yes Peter’s faith may have fallen short of what was needed when compared to the violence of the wind and waves, but Jesus was never in doubt about the outcome when he said “come” to Peter.
Jesus knew that Peter wouldn’t finish the journey unaided, and neither would we most times without a clear intervention from the King of All the Earth.
I, for one, cannot possibly see how my wife and I can fulfill this prophetic journey we are now on. When we listen to all the experts hovering around like vultures, waiting for us to finally fall so they can pick our bones, the evidence shows that we are absolutely headed for disaster, which barring a miracle, means bankruptcy.
However, one of the names of God, given by David, is “Baal Perez”, “The Lord of the Breakthrough”. This is my God!
I may faintly see and faintly hear the passing by of Jesus, but must be prepared to get out of the boat and take the risk, confident as Larry says, that HE IS able to bring His prophetic call in my life to pass when I AM willing to heed the call.
When I start to sink, I know he will be there.
Frank,
As always, I am encouraged by your comments.
