THE PROPHETIC AND PROPHECY – Part 2

What is a prophet?One who is divinely inspired to communicate God’s will to His people

The three sources of prophecy and only one is true

• The Spirit Of God
• The Heart of man
• The spirit of the devil

You have a responsibility as a recipient of a prophetic word

Judging a prophetic word?

• Try every spirit (discernment)
• Judge it by the Word of God (does it measure up against the Word of God)
• look at the fruit – you shall know them by their fruit – (fruit of the spirit)

we will be adding more in our next teaching and prayer

1 Kings 22 :1- 28 (NKJV)

Jeremiah 1:9-10 (NKJV) “Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant.””

Jeremiah 27:9 (ESV) “So do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your fortune-tellers, or your sorcerers, who are saying to you, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon.’”

Jeremiah 27:9 (NKJV) “Therefore do not listen to your prophets, your diviners, your dreamers, your soothsayers, or your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon.””

We must judge  a prophetic word by the word of God. A prophet must know the word of God. A prophet does not elect himself to the office but he is appointed by God.
