All prophesy should be judged because
of being in an impart realm, Those who judge and discern
are prophets, leaders, and all believers should through the Holy
Spirit and the written word.
Questions to ask concerning prophetic words:
(1) Does it build up or tear down?
If it leaves us in a state of hopelessness or helplessness it should
be either forgotten or just wait until the Lord brings more clarity.
(2) Does it bear witness to the
spirit within, and to those who have an open heart (Rev.2:7,
11,17 )
(3) Does it agree with the clear
written word and the spirit of that word. (1 Cor.1:17-21) (Amos 3:3)
(4) Does it exalt the Lordship of
Jesus Christ; drawing us to Him and magnifying His finished work.
.It should not be exalting fear, the devil, or the power of flesh.
but the Lordship of Jesus. (1 Cor.12:1-3)
(5) Does it produce the fruit of
life and liberty or does it bring us back into bondage. (Mt.7:16)
(6) If predictive and conditions or
met, does it come to pass?
"Wisdom that will help us not to miss it.
(1) Submit the word to those you are
ministering to, and always remain under authority. this is new
covenant
(2) Never make excuses for apparent
misses, rather learn from them.
(3) Never try to impress others with
your gift, this will cause inaccuracy, and make a fool out of you.
(4) Speak toward the destiny and
not the present condition the gifts are given to reveal Jesus the
cure for sin, not sins.
(5) Take responsibility for what
you say (example) If you tell someone they are to go here or go
there, leave their job etc. be prepared to support them or pay
expenses if it isn't the Lord.
(6) Never use the gift to
manipulate people to give.
(7) There should be no glory to
self in the prophetic ministry.
