The has been much said about false prophets, but I saw something today about them. The Word said that they “prophecy what is in their own spirits” and not from God's Spirit. That gave me pause. That gave me some caution! Prophesying is something we should do when God speaks to us and not we speak to ourselves. These prophets spoke what they wanted to have happen, not what God was going to do.
So now what? Do we not prophesy? God forbid! This passage gives me a clue into discerning my own “spirit” from God's Spirit. (Fortunately in us as believers, our spirit is indwelt by God's Spirit). The question I want to ask myself is, “Is this what I want?” There could be times that I want the same as God's Spirit, hopefully most of the time! But within me, when I wait on the Lord to tell me to say something or not, there is a depth of knowing and a conviction that I need to say it that is stronger than my own desires.
God help me to never to give a prophecy that isn't from you. I want to speak your Words, not mine. Quicken me and teach me your voice.
