True Prophecy is a powerful reminder from the Bible about the importance of discerning between true and false messages that some so-called prophets give us.

Today, believers are called to understand that if something spoken in His name does not happen, then it did not come from Him. Why? Beloved there are so many voices and claims around us these days.

Key Takeaway to True Prophecy

  • True Prophecy: Trust God’s Word above all, knowing that what He speaks will always come to pass.

Anchor Bible Verse of the Day

When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.

— Deuteronomy 18:22 (NKJV)

This verse of Deuteronomy 18:22 was spoken to protect God’s people from following false prophets. In ancient Israel, as today, people needed a way to confirm if a message truly came from God.

This guidance protects us from false prophecies, encouraging us to trust only in words that prove to be true. God’s words are never empty, and He does not speak carelessly. By examining the outcome of a prophecy, we can better understand whether it was spoken under God’s authority or not.

Key Explanations

  • When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord: Those claiming to deliver messages from God.
  • If the thing does not happen or come to pass: A prophecy that fails to come true is not from God.
  • The prophet has spoken it presumptuously: This warns against those who speak on God’s behalf without His authority.

Reflection on True Prophecy

True prophecy is a reminder to all of us to be careful. See, the world is filled with many claims, voices, and teachings that might seem spiritual or convincing. Many come to us as if they are from God, but are very satanic.

However, God’s Word instructs us to test these messages by their fulfillment. Just as God’s truth is steadfast and reliable, His prophecies never fail. As believers, we are called to rest our faith on what is proven true in God’s Word.

Listen to what 1 John 4:1 says,

Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

In these end times, many will come speaking as if they are from God, be wary. Some are sent by the devil, some for want of fame and money. At times too, these familiar spirits can give accurate prophecies, all coming from the pit of hell. Be wary!

Every believer must carefully examine every teaching and prophecy, as not all who claim to speak for God, actually do.

Here, I am encouraging someone to prioritize studying Scripture and to seek the Holy Spirit’s guidance in understanding what is true.

Henceforth, as you face various messages, teachings, and influences, remember the importance of trusting in what God has proven to be true. God’s Word is reliable and unfailing, unlike human words that might change or fail.

This daily walk of faith calls for discernment and a heart centered on God’s truth. Stand firm in Scripture and rely on the Holy Spirit, who leads you into all truth.
