REJECTING NEGATIVE PROPHECIES II

Memorise:
Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the Lord. .. 2 Kings 20:5

Read:
Joshua 6:26, 2 Kings 2:20-21

Message

Yesterday, I talked about rejecting negative prophecies from false prophets. However, sometimes, a real prophet can prophesy something that you are not comfortable with. God sometimes tells us things just for our information; at other times, it is so that we can do something about them. How then do you reverse negative prophecies if you receive them?

Like Hezekiah in 2 Kings 20:1-11, the first thing you can do is to cry to God to reverse the prophecy. If He listens, He will send the same prophet back to you with a new prophecy. Secondly, you can get a prophet with a higher anointing to cancel the negative prophecy. This is what the people of Jericho did in today's Bible reading. Joshua had placed a curse on the land, but Elisha was able to cancel the decree that Joshua made because he had a double portion of the anointing.

Years ago, a man told me that he met a prophet when he was 44 years old who told him all that would happen to him for the next 40 years and that he would die at 84. He said that everything the prophet told him had come to pass, and it was now two weeks to his 84th birthday. I asked if he wanted to serve God, and he said, "Yes," so I told him that he will live. He insisted that everything the prophet told him had come to pass, but as a higher prophet, I replied that as long as he was willing to serve God, he would live until he was ready to die. A few weeks before his 100th birthday, he sent for me and said that he was ready to go; he died a few days before turning 100.

Sometimes, negative prophecies can come to you directly from God, either in a dream, trance, or even in an audible voice. In such instances, you can meet a prophet who is closer to God than you and ask him to help you plead with God to change it. Years ago, a wealthy man, who had just given his life to Christ and had been of tremendous help to me in fulfilling God's work, had a dream where God told him to put his house in order because it was time for him to be called home. He came to me, and I said, "No!" I told him, "Don't worry, I will discuss it with my Daddy." I told God, "Lord, I still need this man here, please don't take him yet." God answered me, and the man lived.

Bible In One Year:
Daniel 4-5

Hymn:
I Need Thee Every Hour

Key Point:
Negative prophecies, even when genuine, can be reversed.

King James Version

Joshua 6:26, 2 Kings 2:20-21

Joshua 6:26
And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho: he shall lay the foundation thereof in his firstborn, and in his youngest son shall he set up the gates of it.
2 Kings 2:20-21
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they bring it to him. [21] And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith the Lord, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
RCCG Hymn

I need Thee ev'ry hour

  1. I need Thee ev'ry hour
    Most gracious Lord;
    No tender voice like Thine
    Can peace afford.


    2. I need Thee, Oh, I need Thee;
    Ev'ry hour I need Thee!
    Oh, bless me now, my Saviour,
    I come to Thee!


  2. I need Thee every hour.
    Stay Thou near by;
    Temptations lose their power
    When Thou art nigh.

  3. I need Thee every hour
    In joy or pain;
    Come quickly and abide
    Or life is vain.

  4. I need Thee every hour
    Teach me Thy will;
    And Thy rich promises
    In me fulfill.

  5. I need Thee every hour,
    Most Holy one;
    Oh, make me Thine indeed,
    Thou blessed Son!
