The Apostle Peter is given a personal prophecy regarding an issue his cultural biases were not comfortable with. In a patience exercise in having him remember what Jesus said and testing this as actually being from God, we are given the benefit of how to also test personal prophecies.

1. God's Word is the standard by which we test any personal words from God.

2. God is capable of speaking to us personally if we're willing to listen and obey.

3. God isn't offended by people who want to be certain He is speaking.
