I would just refer everyone to the NT description of a prophet
EVERY Christian now has the Holy Spirit dwelling within
we are instructed to DISCERN...not just accept...now the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets...which means that there should no longer be lone ranger prophets
many many people buck at that...they do not wish to be corrected and they wish to exert POWER over others
they will threaten, mock and even curse
this is not God
I am speaking generally here...not addressing the op....simply stating that those who refer to themselves as prophets most likely are not
as I stated in another thread, the Holy Spirit grieves over the lost and over Christians who are away from God
this constant condemnation is NOT of God!!!
God wants to draw us TO Him ... not play whack a mole and constantly draw our attention to sin...the devil is the one who constantly blames and wants to condemn
so much more could be said about the Holy Spirit and how he works in our lives
again, the Holy Spirit does not condemn...He convicts...that is not condemnation
