Inspiration can actually be a blessing to us all, because it does the job of prodding us in a particular direction. My inspiration comes from above through the Holy Spirit, this inspiration leads me to read certain passages in the Bible, or talk to someone about a particular topic. We all get inspired at one time or another, some of us are less likely to realize that our source of inspiration is actually purposeful.
During Bible days, several prophets were inspired, as they usually were, to write the details of what was later to be realized as coming events. Much of those inspired writings have since come true, and others are predicted to be a reality in the not too distant future. The inspiration for these writings came from the Holy Spirit and initially from the Creator himself. We should therefore consider these predictions as solid Gospel, and not be surprised when they become true.
Unfortunately, we find ourselves in situations when inspired, in dropping the ball and actually ignoring the inspiration, which is actually a prodding from the Holy Spirit, to take steps that will further God’s work. Non Christians are also subject to being inspired by the Holy Spirit, but in many cases, because they are uncertain of the source of the inspiration they allow this prodding to go unanswered.
