God diverse ways to man.
Malachi 3:6
For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
In our walk with God and seeking Him, we get certain experiences which may be totally different from others' and in some cases validate experiences of others.
There are many pastors, men of God and people in the ministry who have deviced a specific and fixed way of encountering God and make it look as if, it will not happen in another way, that if it does not happen in the way they experienced it, perhaps it is not of God. They teach people based on the various experiences they have had with God and present it like a method, system, and pattern to pathway to experience God; while neglecting preaching the pure word of God to the people of the church and leaving them to experience God based on His word in diverse and specific manners.
Prophet Moses was a man of God who did not have to depend on dreams and visions to hear from God as specified and listed means that God use to speak to his prophets (Numbers 12:6); Moses spoke to God face to face and he was the only prophet of God who had that manifestation (Deuteronomy 34:10); it would be wrong on the part of Moses to diminish any prophet with message of dreams and vision of God; and that if any prophet of God comes to the people of Israel without a face to face encounter with God, such is a false prophet.
To walk in the prophetic call or to be called to be a prophet depends on the fact that you come from a family of prophets, a son of a prophet or born by the predestination of God's perfect will to be a prophet from the womb.
Jeremiah 1:5 {TLB}
I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”
You don't just wake up one morning and go into the ministry of the prophetic and office of a prophet. You can't desire it, you can't educate yourself to do it, or train under a prophet to do it; to do all of this is to be in danger of being a false prophet.
Moses was born a proper child {Exodus 2:2}, a deliverer of the people of Israel from the land of Egypt, it is not something he could desire to do or aspire for or build a career of it nor educate himself to do. Though there are certain preparation, consecration and awakening to the call of the prophetic, that is why Moses forsook Egypt and why he did certain things to pursue his divine call.
Jeremiah was also another prophet who was one before he was born, he never desired nor aspired to be one.
The Holy Spirit will bring the knowledge to you that you are one and guide, and cause you to walk in your prophetic calling.
However, a prophet, 'Amos' came to the people of Israel one day and said;
Amos 7:14-15
14. Then Amos answered, and said to Amaziah: " I was no prophet, Nor was I a son of prophet, But I was a sheepbreeder, And a tender of sycamore fruit. 15. Then the LORD took me as I followed the flock, And the LORD said to me, 'Go prophesy to My people Israel.
You see he was not born a prophet, nor a son of prophet, but a herdsman and God took him and sent him to be a prophet.
It will have been wrong for the people of Israel to declare him a false prophet as a result of this or Amos get into unbelief of the sovereign will and plans of God for him.
You see, we are different people to God, He has numbered every strand of our hair, he knows our name, and he has set by birth our preappointed times and boundaries of our dwelling (Acts 17:26) and we have a different thumb print to show our uniqueness by God and to God.
God deal with us in different ways and manners because we are different people to him, it will be wrong to diminish or bring to nothing the experiences of others in their course of walking and seeking God.
To build a way of life of group of people of Christians, forming a church by the standards, methods and experience of one man who is their pastor or man of God is what that's manifested as {Man made doctrines, teaching and commandment of man, and denomination} which does not work the course of God.
But I want to strongly admonish you by the mercies and revelation of God to prove, to judge and examine all experiences and hold on to the ones that God has given to you or is giving you to encounter him. Because "2 Corinthians 11:14'' clearly states: And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
We are in the last days and there are great deceptions and Satan and his hosts of angels are also disguising as Angel of light to deceive the heart of men.
I hope that you have been blessed, my beloved reader. May the Lord God of hosts grant you insight in all these things and strengthen you. The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ abide with you always. Shalom
