“I Got a Word From God” – The Prophetic Test

(1 Corinthians 13:9 NIV) For we know in part and we prophesy in part.

2. I my word.

(Philippians 3:12 NIV) Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.

(1 Timothy 1:18-20 NIV) Timothy, my son, I am giving you this command in keeping with the prophecies once made about you, so that by recalling them you may fight the battle well, holding on to faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and so have suffered shipwreck with regard to the faith. Among them are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan to be taught not to blaspheme.

(2 Timothy 4:14-15 NIV) Alexander the metalworker did me a great deal of harm. The Lord will repay him for what he has done. You too should be on your guard against him, because he strongly opposed our message.

(2 Timothy 2:17-18 NIV) Their teaching will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have departed from the truth.

3. I my word.

(1 Thessalonians 5:19-21 NIV) Do not quench the Spirit. Do not treat prophecies with contempt but test them all.

(1 Corinthians 14:29 NLT) Let two or three people prophesy, and let the others evaluate what is said.

(Deuteronomy 13:1-3 NKJV) If there arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives you a sign or a wonder, and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to you, saying, ‘Let us go after other gods’—which you have not known—‘and let us serve them,’ you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams, for the Lord your God is testing you to know whether you love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
