Prophesy
I've had quite a few prophesies said over me in my days attending Pentecostal churches. Some of them I can almost remember word for word. I have some on tape and I also typed them up. Once in awhile I'll take them out and read them. My husband can attest that I am a little bit voodooish with prophesy. You see, some of them have seemed to have happened, or have been very accurate at describing who I am. Yet others have not. There is this theory that prophesies only come to pass if you are following God. If you are not following God then they will not happen. Ok, if God knows the future then wtf? I have also had my palm read by a man that I worked with. His was the most accurate of any prophesy I ever had. I really enjoyed talking with him about future and palm reading. Our lines on our palms change, if you photocopy your palm today and one year from now, they will look different. Obviously our finger prints don't change, but the grooves do. Of course I never have photocopied my palms. Basically his point was that if you stick on the course that you are on now, this is what your future holds, but things change. Maybe that is what prophesy is like. A knowing that is temporary or conditional. But is it words from God? Honestly I think it is an energy thing, and no more. Even the palm reading is a little bit too far fetched for me. If God really wants to tell me that he or she is real, wouldn't he or she find a better way to say it, or a more specific way. Tell me what color underwear that I am wearing, not what my desires are. Its pretty easy to guess that a female Christian teen's desires are to get married and have kids and if you are off the mark, you can always correct your prophesy by saying, "God is going to give you that desire". Hey, I can play this game too.
