When the Holy Spirit comes, he will guide you into all truth. … He will tell you about the future. He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.

  • Draw people to Jesus

Test on How to Give and Receive a Prophetic Word

  • Will the word edify, exhort and comfort

(1 Cor. 14: 3) The true purpose of prophecy is to build up, encourage and release.  It is used to enable people to know and understand the heartbeat of  God for themselves.

  • Is the word Scriptural

The Holy Spirit will not contradict himself

2 Tim 3:16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

  • Does the word glorify Jesus.

Draw people to the Lord

1 Cor 12: 3 Therefore I tell you that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

John 16:13-14 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you.
