Bible Question: When someone states that they are a prophet and GOD have given him/her a message for you, how can you tell if that is actually true? How can you tell if the voice that you hear is actually from GOD and not some other source? |
Bible Answer: Hello Hood Rat, The initial qualification is laid out quite explicitly in Deut. 18:20-22: "'But the prophet who speaks a word presumptuously in My name which I have not commanded him to speak, or which he speaks in the name of other gods, that prophet shall die.' "You may say in your heart, 'How will we know the word which the LORD has not spoken?' "When a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the thing does not come about or come true, that is the thing which the LORD has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him." For myself, and many others, this modern day "Prophet stuff" is simply presumption on God! I do not believe there are any true "prophets" today! Here's why: "God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world." [Heb. 1:1-2] God doesn't need prophets as He has left us with His Word! It is sufficient in and of Itself! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
