The Blessings of the Prophetic Gift

LESSON 12*March 14 - 20 The Blessings of the Prophetic Gift SABBATH AFTERNOON

Read for This Week's Study:

Exod. 17:14, 34:27, Lev. 11:1–8, Deut. 6:4–7, Isa. 44:8, 49:6.

Memory Text:

“Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7, NKJV).

All through biblical history, the Lord worked through the prophets (including those who wrote no books of the Bible) in order to encourage, uplift, and warn God’s people. However unpopular at times their messages, or however often their motives were misunderstood, these people all had one goal in mind: to bless and benefit God’s church. And it was certainly no different with Ellen White and her prophetic gift.

This week we are going to look at some of the blessings that come to God’s people through the prophetic gift. The Seventh-day Adventist Church, certainly as we know it today, would probably not exist had it not been for the guidance God gave this movement through the Spirit of Prophecy.

The Week at a Glance:

Why and for what purpose did God elect Israel as His special people? How were the young people in Israel educated in Old Testament times? What were some of the counsels on health that God gave the Israelites? Why did the Israelites write God’s Word on the door frames of their houses? How has the Lord used the gift of prophecy to benefit the church?
