The Way Out of Trouble Is to Prophesy
The Way Out of Trouble Is to Prophesy
In the Christian walk, believers often encounter opposition, betrayal, and trials, sometimes even from those closest to them. Many have found themselves falsely accused, mistreated by religious institutions, or isolated from mainstream platforms. However, for some, the way out of trouble has been revealed through an often-overlooked biblical truth: prophesying.
Biblical Foundation: Seeking to Prophesy
The Bible encourages believers to seek the gift of prophecy. As 1 Corinthians 14:1 (KJV) states:
"Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy."
This verse emphasizes that among the spiritual gifts, prophecy is of great importance. But why is this so? For those who have experienced it firsthand, prophecy is not just about foretelling the future; it is about declaring the truth of God, and through that declaration, finding guidance, protection, and deliverance.
Prophecy as a Means of Escape
For some, prophesying has been the very tool God has used to lead them out of difficult situations. The pattern is clear:
- Opposition in the Church → Prophesy → Led out of the corrupt system.
- Trouble in Local Communities → Prophesy → Found a way forward.
- Attacks on Online Platforms → Prophesy → Left the controlled digital sphere for an independent voice.
This follows a biblical principle: God’s truths are hidden from the profane but revealed to those who follow Him.
"It is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given." (Matthew 13:11, KJV)
Those who do not follow Christ cannot understand these hidden truths. But those who act in faith—prophesying His truth—receive revelation. It is only after stepping out in obedience that deliverance becomes clear.
The Hidden Pearl of Prophecy
Jesus spoke of the kingdom of God as a hidden pearl in a field (Matthew 13:44). Just as the world cannot recognize the value of that pearl, the unbelieving or half-heartedly religious cannot grasp the power of prophecy. But those who walk in obedience find that when they begin to prophesy, God makes a way where there seemed to be none.
This echoes John 7:17 (KJV):
"If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself."
The knowledge of God’s ways does not come through intellect alone but through obedience. You act first, and then you see.
Why Opposition Is Inevitable
Standing for truth inevitably brings opposition. The Bible shows countless examples:
- Jesus Himself was falsely accused and crucified.
- Paul faced betrayals and imprisonment.
- Jeremiah was thrown into a pit for prophesying truth.
- Stephen was stoned for preaching Christ.
Even today, those who prophesy are often cast out by religious institutions, slandered by false brethren, or censored by digital platforms. Yet, despite the attacks, God has continually provided a way forward for those who remain faithful to His calling.
Conclusion: The Living Truth of Prophecy
For some, prophecy is not just a spiritual gift—it is the key to unlocking God’s guidance, deliverance, and wisdom. It is the hidden pearl, the mystery revealed only to those who seek Him.
The lesson is clear: When trouble arises, do not shrink back. Seek to prophesy. Speak forth the truth of God, and watch as He leads you out.
