“And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets. And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.”
1 Kings 20:41-42 KJV
At that, the man ripped the bandage off his eyes and the king recognized who he was—one of the prophets! The man said to the king, “God’s word: Because you let a man go who was under sentence by God, it’s now your life for his, your people for his.” Those who follow the ways of the world will have unbelief in their hearts to receive the voice of God spoken through the prophets even today. Jesus was the Prophet Moses spoke about saying, “The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear”. Jesus said He will send us the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and through His death and resurrection, the Holy Spirit came to empower us to prophecy and to discern spirits, through His gifts to the Body of Christ. Paul told the Church, of the ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers, to build and strengthen the Body of Christ - the Church. Let’s dwell in God’s Word to recognise God’s Voice and discern the prophetic Word given to us, and not to despise prophesies. Amen!
