Introduction: Have there been times when you wished that you could sit in the same room with God and talk with Him about your situation? Most Christians would undoubtedly say, "Yes, I would love to talk directly with God!" What if we asked God this same question...
Introduction: Why are the Ten Commandments the only message directly written by God in stone ( Deuteronomy 10:1-4)? If God wanted to give precise rules, you would think He would always hand the prophet instructions written on stone. Does the fact that God communic...
Introduction: Have you ever considered that "prophecy" is a spiritual gift much like teaching? We see all types of teachers, from poor to great. Do only great teachers and great prophets have the spiritual gift? Or, is the gift something given in different amount...
Introduction: Throughout Biblical history, we find that God works with a specific group of people to advance His kingdom. Is this still true? Will it be true in the days before the close of earth's history? Since these are the people who speak for God, wouldn't i...
Introduction: We have learned in our prior lessons that being a prophet means that you communicate God's messages to others. The purest form of communication was when God wrote the Ten Commandments with His own finger on stone. No chance for error in that. Next, w...

Introduction: After last week's study ended with one prophet being eaten by a lion because the other prophet lied, you may wonder why we are studying the integrity of the prophetic gift. Can true prophets lie, cheat and steal? What do you remember about the Old Te...
Introduction: If someone asked me to teach a class about the messages from my wife, I would have to do some thinking. My wife gives me all sorts of messages. Is there a theme in the messages from your spouse or your best friend? In general, my wife's messages are...
Introduction: "That is your interpretation!" Have you ever heard someone say that when they disagreed with you? Lawyers are masters of suggesting that something should be interpreted in a way much different than was originally meant. We even have U.S. Supreme Co...
Introduction: What good are prophets? Since we have learned that prophets give us messages from God, it seems the answer is obvious: we get to hear God's will. Ask yourself: "Are you sure you really want to hear God's will for your life?" Considering the reaction...
