Sometimes a person will be going a way that would destroy him (or her) and God sends HIS prophets to them.
This happened in our little church group:
A woman, Pam Padgett, was planning to marry. I brought strong warning to her. Barbara Preston also brought strong warning.
After that Pam postponed the wedding.
The
man she was planning to marry told her about his son who was planning
to marry a divorced woman. Pam then spoke up and told this man the
following scripture. Matthew 5:32 But
I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the
cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
After Pam shared this scripture, that man no longer wanted to marry her!
Today Pam looks back and thanks God she didn't marry him.

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Prophets of God must be brave enough to speak when they are troubled. (Neither Barbara or I had met the man Pam was planning to marry when we told Pam we were troubled about this planned marriage.)
If a person shows himself to be of God, I would not want to go against the words he brings from God. He will not take it lightly when he is troubled about something you are doing or are planning to do.

The husband of a woman in our church group had 2 small strokes. Their house has many stairs. We were concerned about this. She
then told us they planned to sell that house and move into to the
condominium owned by their 50+ year old son who has been twice divorced
and lives in another city. We were very happy to hear this. (that was our flesh that was happy for it seemed good to us.)
But God gave me an open vision. I
saw a giant prehistoric type snake that was about 4 times the size of a
giant alligator. It was swallowing a woman whole. Only the legs were
sticking out of the mouth of the snake. Like Jonah was swallowed whole
by the whale, she was being swallowed whole. Then I saw this was the woman in our church group and she was the woman who planned to move in with her adult aged son.
Her
husband, at this time, is not saved but we know he will be because God
gave her a dream where he was reading Bible. Her adult son and daughter
are not currently saved. Nor is her granddaughter saved. Nor is her
son in law saved. She would be swallowed whole by all these unbelievers if she tried to live among them.
I even asked her what she would do if her son brought a woman home to spend the night while she was living at his condo.
The next thing after that, she decided she didn't want to move in with her son. She told her husband and he had no problem about changing this plan. (Her husband is the step father of the 2 adult children.)
The
husband improved physically and they still live in the house with all those stairs where they
were living at the time of his strokes and they are doing fine.
God saves us from our distresses!
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man but the end thereof are the ways of death. (Proverbs 14:12)
