Prophets and Prophecies

[onetiggerroo]

A word of caution...

Those who proclaim to be prophets should be careful...true prophecy only comes from the LORD, and what HE has laid out in HIS WORD. It must align with the WORD.

The BIBLE tells us clearly about true prophets and those that are false prophets.

You can read through some of the following chapters listed to get an understanding of FALSE Prophets.

Jeremiah Chapters :

The word "prophet" occurs in 227 verses of the BIBLE; the word "prophecy" occurs 21 times. Notice the difference in the number of times the word prophet, and the word prophecy are used...that should tell us something.

Today, there are far too many prophets, trying to give prophecy. The Bible tells us that a true prophet of the LORD will be 100% all the time.

Looking over the internet you can find all sorts of prophets and prophecy given. Remember, if it is not aligned with the LORD'S WORD, it isn't from HIM.

May the LORD bless you always.

There are indeed many who do not tremble to speak and call it "God's Word" when in fact it is their own invention. We must test the prophets against the clear revelation of the Scriptures, being wise, not careless with that responsibility.

Mat 7:20 Then surely from their fruits you shall know them.

Mat 7:21 Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord, will enter into the kingdom of Heaven, but the ones who do the will of My Father in Heaven.

Mat 7:22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name do many works of power?

Mat 7:23 And then I will declare to them, I never knew you; "depart from Me, those working lawlessness!" Psa. 6:8

Rfw, thank you for the scriptures! You know that all too often the self-proclaimed prophets will quote the scriptures from one side of their mouth and twist them from the other side. The LORD knows HIS children...and there will be many who HE will turn away, because what they spoke was not from HIM or of HIM.

We need to be able to discern the difference. How does one discern? Read the WORD!

May the LORD bless you.
