In Revelation 19:10, we see the statement, 'the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.' Some have taught that this statement implies that sharing a testimony is essentially prophesying. But is that what this statement actually means?

This statement is not a license to ignore topics like sin, judgment, and hell but a call to not misuse God's patience and kindness. Let's embrace the full counsel of God's Word and every attribute of who God is!

Many times, biblical statements get taken out of context and misapplied. We need to know the Scriptures so that we can recognize error and avoid deception!

One of the ways that prophecy can be misused and abused is when it is used to manipulate others. When we know how to recognize prophetic manipulation, we can break free from its destructive influence!

Knowing how the Bible describes false prophets and false teachers will help us discern and recognize when they are operating in our midst!!

The Bible gives repeated warnings about the reality of false prophets. As we grow in discernment, we can recognize between the true and the false!

God's voice does not come to add to Scripture but to give specific instruction, direction, correction, and encouragement for our lives. In this episode, Jake shares a sermon about the importance of the voice of God in the life of a believer and how we should press in to hear His voice in a greater way.

Throughout the Bible, we see that God is a God who speaks. In this episode, Jake shares some of the main ways that God speaks to us. As we grow in our relationship with the Lord, we can become more sensitive to His voice and how to be led by Him!

There has been much corruption and abuse in the area of prophetic ministry, but that doesn't mean that prophecy is not valid. In the midst of corruption, God is raising up a pure prophetic stream.

The gift of discerning spirits is an important gift for the church to walk in, but there is a big difference between discernment and suspicion.
