"THE best way to
identify a true
prophet would be
to use the Word
of God alone to
do so. The fact
is, if a prophet
is sent by the God
who wrote the Bible,
then common sense
would be to identify
a true prophet by
God's Word... And
don't forget these
most important verses
concerning prophets
and the last days:
"But this is
that which was spoken
by the prophet Joel;
And it shall come
to pass in the last
days, saith God,
I will pour out
of my Spirit upon
all flesh: and your
sons and your daughters
shall prophesy,
and your young men
shall see visions,
and your old men
shall dream dreams:
And on my servants
and on my handmaidens
I will pour out
in those days of
my Spirit; and they
shall prophesy:"
Acts 2:16-18.
1.
Deuteronomy 18:21-22,
"And if thou say
in thine heart,
How shall we know
the word which the
LORD hath not spoken?
When a prophet speaketh
in the name of the
LORD, if the thing
follow not, nor
come to pass, that
is the thing which
the LORD hath not
spoken, but the
prophet hath spoken
it presumptuously:
thou shalt not be
afraid of him."
■
The
true Prophet of
the Lord
predicts that which
does come to pass.
If the Prophet's
predictions fail,
they are exposed
as NOT of God.
2.
Numbers 12:6, "And
he said, Hear now
my words: If there
be a prophet among
you, I the LORD
will make myself
known unto him in
a vision, and will
speak unto him in
a dream."
■
The
true Prophet of
the Lord will receive
visions or dreams
from the Lord.
3.
Numbers 24:4 "He
hath said, which
heard the words
of God, which saw
the vision of the
Almighty, falling
into a trance, but
having his eyes
open:"
Numbers 24:16, "He
hath said, which
heard the words
of God, and knew
the knowledge of
the most High, which
saw the vision of
the Almighty, falling
into a trance, but
having his eyes
open:"
■
When
in "vision" their
eyes will be open.
4.
Daniel 10:17, "For
how can the servant
of this my lord
talk with this my
lord? for as for
me, straightway
there remained no
strength in me,
neither is there
breath left in me."
■
When
in "vision" a true
Prophet will
NOT breath.
"Inspiration" =
God Breathed, Therefore,
since the Almighty
is breathing through
the Prophet communicating
His Truth, the Prophet
has no need to breath.
5.
Daniel 10:17, "For
how can the servant
of this my lord
talk with this my
lord? for as for
me, straightway
there remained no
strength in me,
neither is there
breath left in me."
■
The
true Prophet will
collapse
with absolutely
no strength in him/her.
6.
Daniel 10:18, "Then
there came again
and touched me one
like the appearance
of a man, and he
strengthened me,"
■
Once
"touched
in the "vision"
the Prophet receives
supernatural strength.
7.
Jeremiah 28:9, "The
prophet which prophesieth
of peace, when the
word of the prophet
shall come to pass,
then shall the prophet
be known, that the
LORD hath truly
sent him."
■
A
true Prophet will
be
100% accurate,
there is absolutely
no margin for error.
8.
2 Peter 1:20, "Knowing
this first, that
no prophecy of the
scripture is of
any private interpretation."
■
A
true Prophet
NEVER gives his
private interpretation.
He only shares what
the Lord reveals.
Scripture defines
Scripture, not man.
9.
2 Peter 1:21, "For
the prophecy came
not in old time
by the will of man:
but holy men of
God spake as they
were moved by the
Holy Ghost."
■
A
true Prophet only
prophecies in the
name of the Lord.
He
only seeks to glorify
the Lord.
He will never seek
glory to himself.
NEVER!
10.
1 Corinthians 14:3-4,
"But he that prophesieth
speaketh unto men
to edification,
and exhortation,
and comfort. He
that speaketh in
an unknown tongue
edifieth himself;
but he that prophesieth
edifieth the church."
■
A
true Prophet will
look to
edify, comfort,
and uplift
the Church body
by his testimony
as well as
exhort them.
11.
Isaiah 8:20, "To
the law and to the
testimony: if they
speak not according
to this word, it
is because there
is no light in them."
■
A
true Prophet
keeps God's Law,
and abides by the
testimony of the
Bible Prophets
as well.
If a Prophet does
not agree with the
Bible Prophet's
or does not keep
God's Ten Commandments,
he is a false Prophet.
12.
1 John 4:1-3, "Beloved,
believe not every
spirit, but try
the spirits whether
they are of God:
because many false
prophets are gone
out into the world.
Hereby know ye the
Spirit of God: Every
spirit that confesseth
that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh
is of God: And every
spirit that confesseth
not that Jesus Christ
is come in the flesh
is not of God: and
this is that spirit
of antichrist, whereof
ye have heard that
it should come;
and even now already
is it in the world."
■
A
true Prophet believes
and
preaches the incarnation
of Jesus Christ.
He will preach Jesus
as God who came
to Earth and put
on humanity in order
to redeem us all.
13.
Matthew 7:15-20,
"Beware of false
prophets, which
come to you in sheep's
clothing, but inwardly
they are ravening
wolves. Ye shall
know them by their
fruits. Do men gather
grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles?
Even so every good
tree bringeth forth
good fruit; but
a corrupt tree bringeth
forth evil fruit.
A good tree cannot
bring forth evil
fruit, neither can
a corrupt tree bring
forth good fruit.
Every tree that
bringeth not forth
good fruit is hewn
down, and cast into
the fire. Wherefore
by their fruits
ye shall know them."
■
A
true Prophet will
show good works,
and have identifiable
fruits of a Christian.
He/she will have
abundant BIBLICAL
fruits!
14.
Exodus 15:20, "And
Miriam the prophetess,
the sister of Aaron,
took a timbrel in
her hand; and all
the women went out
after her with timbrels
and with dances."
Judges 4:4, "And
Deborah, a prophetess,
the wife of Lapidoth,
she judged Israel
at that time."
2 Chronicles 34:22,
"And Hilkiah, and
they that the king
had appointed, went
to Huldah the prophetess,
the wife of Shallum
the son of Tikvath,
the son of Hasrah,
keeper of the wardrobe;
(now she dwelt in
Jerusalem in the
college:) and they
spake to her to
that effect."
Luke 2:36, "And
there was one Anna,
a prophetess, the
daughter of Phanuel,
of the tribe of
Aser: she was of
a great age, and
had lived with an
husband seven years
from her virginity;"
Acts 21:8-9, "And
the next day we
that were of Paul's
company departed,
and came unto Caesarea:
and we entered into
the house of Philip
the evangelist,
which was one of
the seven; and abode
with him. And the
same man had four
daughters, virgins,
which did prophesy."
■
Gender
makes no difference.
Women can,
and have been prophet's
as well.
15.
Acts 2:17-18, "And
it shall come to
pass in the last
days, saith God,
I will pour out
of my Spirit upon
all flesh: and your
sons and your daughters
shall prophesy,
and your young men
shall see visions,
and your old men
shall dream dreams:
And on my servants
and on my handmaidens
I will pour out
in those days of
my Spirit; and they
shall prophesy:"
■
Age
makes NO difference
in being a prophet.
16.
Matthew 24:24-25,
"For there shall
arise false Christs,
and false prophets,
and shall shew great
signs and wonders;
insomuch that, if
it were possible,
they shall deceive
the very elect.
Behold, I have told
you before."
■
Performing
miracles proves
nothing.
