Prophets
I came upon this subject and need others input. The subject is prophets in the modern day. Are there prophets of God today?
I found these verses on how to try the spirit…
1Jn 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
1Jn 4:2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
1Jn 4:3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world…
I know there are more guide lines (just don’t know where) if anyone wants to post them that would be very helpful.
And I know spirit of Prophecy to be
Rev 19:10 … for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
But as someone has opened my eyes to a no-assumption policy I found these verses...
Mat 7:15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
Mat 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
Mar 13:22 For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall show signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect.
These verses warn us of false prophets that are to arise… but we (and I use that term loosely) assume that because there are going to be false prophets that there must be true prophets. And then I found these verses…
Mat 11:13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John.
Luk 16:16 The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
Do they speak for themselves or am I trying to pry for something that is not there. Yall’s opinion and scriptural evidence would be greatly appreciated in helping me with this matter.
PS: the red bible verses are spoken by Jesus.
