Your Sons & Daughters Shall Prophesy - Prophetic Gifts Today In The New Testament Church

The Use of Prophecy in Church Today

judgment alone, but trust those who are prophets and [have] mature over sight to determine this matter. 34 David Blomgren The whole of 1 John provides guidelines for testing prophecy.... Nowhere does it suggest that Christian prophecy is obsolete.As the last survivor of the apostles, the aged John could have dealt with the matter simply by rejecting any prophecy which was not from the apostolic circle. That he did not do. 35 Graham Houston ...Prophecy is meant to be understood as a gift that is inspired by God through the Holy Spirit; granted to individuals for purposes of edification, exhortation, and comfort; and intended to communicate the mind of God. But for someone to claim that he or she is speaking on behalf of God makes the issue of discerning between true and false claims a critical one. 36 Cecil M.Robeck Jr.
