Should Christians Follow Prophetic Instructions?

[Annet Birungi Petch]

Series 2: Church Practices and Traditions — Discussion 31

Bible Scripture (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 5:20–21 (KJV): “Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.”

1 John 4:1 (KJV): “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.”

Let us discuss:

Should Christians automatically obey every instruction given by someone claiming to speak prophetically? How does the Bible instruct believers to test prophetic messages? What should a Christian do when a prophetic instruction contradicts Scripture or creates fear and pressure?

Let us examine the Scriptures in context and remember that every spiritual claim should be tested against God’s Word.
