Due to family problems, my preacher recently prayed for me and God spoke through him and let me know that I am an honest person and that if I were to die right now I would stand before the Throne of Jesus because I chose Jesus and that I am a Cedar and Fragrance of a Mrytle Tree. What do you think God is telling me?<\/p>\n\t
Since God stated that prophecies would end (I Corinthians 13:8-10), I believe your preacher is making things up to make you feel better. Since it is the product of his imagination, you should ask him what he meant these vague phrases.<\/p>\n
