Prophetic Promise - Charismatic (Jeremiah 29:11)

Source: Charismatic interpretation76 words

In charismatic circles, Jeremiah 29:11 is often spoken prophetically: "God says to you today: I have PLANS for you!" It's declaration, not just information. The Spirit makes ancient promises present and personal. Critics worry about taking verses out of context; charismatics emphasize the Spirit's ability to apply any scripture to the moment. When you're in your "Babylon," the Spirit whispers: "There's a plan. Hope exists. Future is coming." Receive it as prophetic word for YOUR situation.
