Prophecy in the Bible is one of the most powerful spiritual gifts. God gives revelation to people to share His heart, predict or proclaim the future and reveal secrets to us could only be known supernaturally. As Peter Parker learns in Spider-Man, “With great power, comes great responsibility.” The power of prophecy makes it a blessing when its handled properly but a burden or a curse when it is handled poorly or with falsehood. There has been a lot of foolishness in the prophetic community and we need to have a robust understanding of prophecy’s power but also its complexities. We need to help prophetic ministries and those they minister to properly weigh and discern what God is saying. Here are 10 amazing truths about prophecy according to the Word of God.
This guidance is so needed! Thank you for spelling out what needs to be said so desperately in this hour to the church. This nugget (and the paragraph it appears in) should be common knowledge among believers, requiring great discernment and humility, "Prophecies can originate from God’s Spirit, evil spirits and the human spirit."
Very cool explanation. On one hand we could be hearing nonsense and on the other it could be true revelation from God. I want to be careful not to miss out on true Prophecy by having an overall negative “wait and see” attitude about it. I find it difficult to strike the appropriate balance.
Thanks Aaron, it is difficult. I think that is where the growth lies for us all is to stay in the tension and allow God to shape us by His Word when it’s easier to retreat to a position where we no longer have to trust Him.
Great explanation and loving instruction John. Thank you for your spiritual leadership in our church family. You are truly a man after God’s own heart! 🙏🏻♥️
