2 Timothy 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

This is about teachable moments. As one who is gifted in the prophetic, I hear much in private. Are those things teachable? Not according to this word which says it must be heard by many. What if it were important and needed to be heard by the congregation? I believe the same rule applies.

I have men I am accountable to in the body of Christ. A few are gifted in prophecy, but not many. I have pastors and teachers that I am accountable to submit anything I feel is important.

As a prophet, my only responsibility is to report what I have heard. It is not my place to persuade them that the messages needs to be issued. It is not my role to define the message, refine the message, or to alter it in any way. That is not the role of a prophet.

It is not mine to teach, preach, or pursue. I must keep my place and do only that which is asked of me and nothing more.

I have led Sunday school but I do not teach. As a prophet I only ask questions, spark the conversation, sit back and allow the Holy Spirit to lead the conversation. If I hear truth I allow the truth to carry the conversation. If I hear untruth, I do not rebuke. I speak truth and allow the conversation to turn on that point rather than offend.

I know my place, my gifts and how to use them. Did I come to this understanding on my own? No, not at all. It was noticed, reported, confirmed and enhanced by my accountability partners.

Hebrews 10:24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:

Ephesians 6:13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

At this moment I wish I could tell you what it means to having done all. I am sorry. At this moment I can only tell you what is humanly possible to try and having done that failed.

Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

At the moment I am not seeing the path. Does that mean I am not trusting God or that I am still dependent upon understanding? Perhaps it is because I have not acknowledged him in all my ways. I am trying to walk in His Way. Have I strayed off the path? Have I lost my way?

In my heart I cannot say anything except I have tried. I’ve tried being patient, and failed. I’ve tried being at peace and I’ve failed.

For all the blessings, gifts, talents, and stewardship I have been given, I confess, I am no different than the next man.

Luke 7:9 When Jesus heard these things, he marvelled at him, and turned him about, and said unto the people that followed him, I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.

I am not hearing this. Now what?

Job 9:15-17 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Finally, the Word sends me someone who understand.
