"The Lord Says - This is the Turning - Prophetic Word 2-19-26"

 

[David]

Prophetic Word

When watching the video, the concern is not that the words don’t sound spiritual. Many of them echo Scripture. The concern is the claim, “this message was received from the Lord.” That is a very serious statement, because when a man says God spoke to him, he is asking the church to treat his words as the voice of God.

But God has already told us how He speaks now: “God… hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son” ~Hebrews 1:1-2. The faith is not still being revealed piece by piece. It was “once delivered unto the saints” ~Jude 1:3. Because of that, we are commanded, “believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God” ~1 John 4:1.

Do you see the danger? If we accept impressions, visions, and inner voices as new messages from God, then the authority quietly shifts away from Scripture to the person claiming the experience. Yet Scripture says we are “not to think of men above that which is written” ~1 Corinthians 4:6.

Yes, the video calls people to repentance and readiness. Those are biblical themes. But attaching them to a new revelation places words in God’s mouth He has not given. The church does not stand on private messages. It stands on what God has already spoken.

So we measure it the only way Scripture allows: “to the law and to the testimony” ~Isaiah 8:20. If God has already spoken, we dare not add another voice beside His written Word.

"The concern is the claim, “this message was received from the Lord.” "That is a very serious statement, because when a man says God spoke to him, he is asking the church to treat his words as the voice of God."

This is true.
