Hello everyone. Praise the Lord!
This is something that I found that I wanted to share with you.
As I study about prophets in the scriptures, especially the Old Testament, I see seven reoccurring truths:
(1) God deals harshly with the person that says, “Thus saith the Lord” and the Lord has not spoken.
(2) God deals harshly with the person or congregation that does not heed to the word of the Lord that comes through the prophet.
(3) When a prophet’s work is done, sin is rebuked, souls are strengthened, and people are drawn into a closer walk with God.
(4) True prophets of God innately understand that a consecrated prayerful life and an anointed life are interwoven.
(5) Multiple times, God wanted the people to know that a prophet had been among them.
(6) Prophets are unique but not all are odd.
(7) The way of a prophet is hard.
