#bible study with #jairus #deuteronomy 18:22 When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him. False prophecies have a negative impact on the reputation of modern prophecy. When many charismatic prophets inaccurately predicted that Trump would win in 2020, it was a slap in the face for the modern prophetic movement. Many people began to accuse this movement of hype and inaccuracy. This kept many people from embracing the modern prophetic movement. In addition, famous prophets said that Los Angeles would sink into the Pacific Ocean, and that never came to pass, either. I still believe that the modern prophetic movement is from God and that God is reintroducing the gift of prophecy to the modern church. But I do agree that we need to examine the movement by the accuracy or inaccuracy of their prophet words. The accuracy of the prophecies given by Brandon Biggs about Trump’s assassination stirred many believers and non-believers alike to listen to his prophecies. Many believers who formerly did not believe in the gift of prophecy became convinced. We need to strive to grow both in our spiritual lives and in the accuracy of our prophetic gifts so we can help the modern prophetic movement gain credence. In this way, we may usher in the great prophets mentioned in the book of Revelation. I don’t believe these prophets will just drop from heaven; they will grow to maturity as the church nurtures their prophetic gifts.
