Bible Question:
Dear prophet ezra brown….. So prophesying is not necessarily inspired by God. I did not know that. And that is very reassuring since I have heard and read some pretty stupid prophecy. And when the prophet announces “Thus sayeth the Lord…” he/she is always speaking with divine inspiration. And then you would agree that the prophet who claims divine inspiration and is proven wrong, by circumstance, or condition, or the Bible itself, is a false prophet and should not be feared (known) any further. Am I correct? God Bless….Jensen |
Bible Answer: Hello Jensen, Remember the words of John the Beloved in 1 John 4:1-3 (1 John 4:1) Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. (1 John 4:2) By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God; (1 John 4:3) and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God; this is the spirit of the antichrist, of which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in the world. A true prophet who speaks in the name of the Lord will speak that which coincides with God's holy word dictated in the Bible. A prophet who does not speak such things is not sent by God.
