Let me share with you a very credible prophetic word I heard today: “It’s hard to see how we get out of this [political gridlock], unless some third force emerges, which wedges itself into one of the two parties, or unless we have a devastating fiscal crisis—a brutal cleansing flood, after which the sun will shine again.”
Who gave the prophetic utterance? David Brooks, syndicated columnist for the NY Times. “He’s not a prophet,” you say? Well of course he isn’t. But when the earthlings share such observations, making statements like this, I pay attention. Another example of an earthling’s observations and warnings (which seem prophetic) is Glenn Beck. I can guarantee you he is not ‘hearing’ God—though he may claim to be. He is just a natural man with natural powers of observation. And a lot of what he says just makes sense.
But the Church needs more than the natural intuition of normal men. The Church needs those who can discern the truth because they know the Lord and they have spiritual insight (Daniels 11:33). They don’t need to be prophets; they just need to know the Lord and be able to recognize His voice. If God’s people are silent, God may make the rocks talk (Luke 19:40) or even a donkey (Numbers 22:28) or even David Brooks or Glenn Beck. My brothers and sisters, there has never been a more crucial time to pay attention. God is speaking.
