Our God has instructed us to respect and honor His prophets. Are there any prophets in our time and lives today? How do we identify a real or false prophet? Is this valid and important to us today? You decide, but please read 1 Corinthians 12:27-28 and below
Deuteronomy 18:18-22
18 I will raise up a prophet like you from among their fellow Israelites. I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell the people everything I command him.
19 I will personally deal with anyone who will not listen to the messages the prophet proclaims on my behalf.
20 But any prophet who falsely claims to speak in my name or who speaks in the name of another god must die.’
21 “But you may wonder, ‘How will we know whether or not a prophecy is from the LORD?’
22 If the prophet speaks in the LORD’s name but his prediction does not happen or come true, you will know that the LORD did not give that message. That prophet has spoken without my authority and need not be feared.
