Do Prophets Exist in Today's World?

Imagine being contacted out of the blue by a stranger who happens to know things about your life that you didn't even know. How would you feel? What are the thoughts that would run through your mind? Would you have the balls of steel to brush it off, or would you want to know more about how this is possible?
 
Many years ago, as a young adult, after living on my own for about 9 to 10 months, I received word from my mother that a pastor from church wanted her to warn me specifically about my job. She said the pastor told her that the Holy Spirit had informed him that I ought to be very prayerful in the days ahead for there is a job loss ahead for me.

At first, I didn't take it seriously. I was like the vast majority of Americans. I thought this can't be real. This is nonsense. But when another pastor, from another church that my uncle belonged to, contacted my mother to tell her the same thing. I panicked. Now, I was horrified.
 
I was brought up in a deeply religious household and knew first hand how serious these prophecies are. In my church, if a man of God tells you not to do something and you went ahead and did it anyway, you'll have only yourself to blame for whatever comes upon you as a result.
 
Prior to being warned of this impending work related disaster I had already been passively job-hunting since I wasn't exactly content with what I had at the time.  However, upon hearing of this unsettling news from two distinct pastors whom I never met nor paid a dime to, I swiftly went from passively to aggressively dispersing my resume all across the internet. Fortunately, a few days after the prophecies, I was able to secure a new job offer which I gleefully accepted without much thought.

Job Loss

When I started at the new work place, I breathed a sigh of relief thinking the foreshadowed omen had passed me by. I stopped praying entirely and forgot about the words of the pastors. I thought I was going to be at this new job forever and began spending lavishly without much regard to the prospect of saving for a rainy day. After all, I thought, the one job I was most likely to get canned from has been left in the past so all should be well. 
 
I couldn't have been anymore shocked however, when three months later, I received a cold and heartless phone call from a human resource personnel saying my contract at the new Job has been terminated. The HR lady said the company I worked for, which she placed me into, had determined my skill set wasn't exactly what they were looking for.  She went on to ask rather callously that I bring my electronic key down to her office so she can destroy it.
 
This was the dreaded call I'd been warned about 6 months earlier. This was the day of dread foreseen by the prophets of God that I never even knew existed till they contacted me. This was the nightmare I had hoped had passed me by and here it was staring me right in the face. I was lost for words. This can't be happening, at least not to me. But it was. I was without a Job.

Many years have passed now since this happened and even though at the time I was utterly inconsolable, I can now tell you today, that because of that experience I became closer to God.  I realized, without a shadow of a doubt that there is a higher being out there and the great thing about it all is that, he knows about me.  How lovely is that?
 
The point of this story here is to show to the world that Yes, there are forces out there that are greater than humans. They are known as the Divine World.   Prophets do exist in this modern day world as they did back in the biblical times. If I had any doubt of the existence of a supreme being, or doubted the contents of the Bible at all, the ordeal with the job loss and the pastors that revealed it beforehand, quenched all of it.

My reason for telling part of this story as I have done so far is to help you, the unbelievers, understand two things.  One, the Bible is real.   Secondly, the spirit world is also very real.  The lingering question is, how does the inquisitive/skeptical minds among us learn about them?   How?  Well, the answer is simple.  The Bible!

Knowledge of the spiritual realm isn't taught in schools, neither can you satisfy your curiosity about it from anyone else except for those few that have been granted the privilege of their revelation.  

Time after time, I keep come across people who don't seem to realize that God still speaks to the human race as he is shown doing in some of the biblical passages referenced here and many other places in the Bible.   They believe talking or hearing the actual voice of the spirit of God is a thing of the past.  I am here to tell you, it is NOT.  It is very much well alive in today's world.  Do not be fooled into thinking like these "biblical scholars". 

The good news to many Christians and others that are willing to accept God as the Almighty, is that the role of conveyer played by the prophets back then several thousand years ago in the biblical times, is still thankfully being played today and I am a living testament to it.
