Rev.19:10----- For the
testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy:
Right sources of prophecy-----
1 -- Rom.12:6 According to the
proportion of faith--the word proportion broken down is in 2
parts:
1.repetition, intensity, distribution
2--.the purpose of utterance ;
simply said , "Draw from the nature of faith repeatedly"
(2) Always come from the
finished work of Christ it keeps you in the new
covenant living from a platform of rest.
(3) Draw from the nature of
Jesus; grace, peace, and mercy, not a warring or critical
spirit
(4) Draw from the good word of
God that will bring life and builds confidence.
Wrong sources of prophecy--
(1) That which exalts
and builds up the prophet. (Avoid all the
clichés or
predictability of those who prophesy it will keep you sharp)
(2) Sympathetic
prophecy-----Gained by acquaintance or external appearance.
(3) Advise giving
prophecy-----This should be given by consent in a setting of
counseling, not prophesy.
(4) Avoid prophecies that are
mixed with financial gain for the prophet. Micah 3:11 and
those who bring blessings or curses based on obedience and
disobedience.
(5) Well wishing prophecies---
This comes out of the human spirit with good
intentions; should be given as a prayer of blessing.
Blessings of true Prophecy----
(1) Brings the manifest
presence of the Lord releasing joy.
(2) Brings true hope and
anchors the soul.
(3) Gives us advantage over our
enemies.
(4) Help us make the vision
plain.
Prophecy and prophetic ministry
can be kept simple and to the point building up those who
receive it. If it is from the Spirit of God, it will
be revealing Jesus and exalting His Lordship in our lives. If
it is not, it is not the Holy Spirit.
