The posts you find here are prophecies, presented in the belief that they are from God, in the context of 1 Thessalonians 5: "Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all; hold on to what is good." So if you find them of value, thank God, the God of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who sent Him into the world to save sinners, which was done by His death on the cross and His resurrection.

Prophecies were a feature of the early church and can be seen at times throughout church history. In recent years they have reemerged as a part of the Charismatic movement in many parts of the church. Please understand that they are not intended to challenge, replace or add to scripture, which must always be the test of what is said.

Please let me know what you think: I offer them in the belief that they will be of value to people, but conscious that I may be guilty of presumption.

Context

These prophecies were given as a result of visits to art galleries; specifically so far Manchester Art Gallery. Where possible I will include a link to a photo of the pieces of art which inspire them, but in many cases they don't seem to have made it onto the web.

To GOD be the glory.

A Christian case against Father Christmas

Justin Peters shows why Christians should avoid the myth of Father Christmas

This quote is fascinating:
 "I remember vividly the day my Mom told my sister and me that there was no Santa. I can see the scene in my mind’s eye even now, sitting at our kitchen table in some ugly
yellow and green 70’s era chairs and Mom looking down at the table telling us there was
no Santa. It did not come as a surprise to me. I had pretty much figured it out already.
I had heard that there were (at the time) almost 6 billion people in the world and though
I didn’t know exactly how big of a number that was, I was pretty confident it was too
many homes for Santa to visit in one night. I can remember my first thought, though:
My parents lied to us. What about what they’re telling me about God?’ That was
genuinely my very first thought.
