How To Judge the Gift of Prophecy

In “How to Judge Prophecy,” Derek Prince presents scriptural guidelines for evaluating prophetic messages. Key principles include ensuring prophecy serves to edify, exhort, and comfort believers, aligns with biblical scripture, and glorifies Jesus Christ. It also stresses that true prophecy should produce character fruits consistent with the Holy Spirit, avoiding false prophets identified by negative traits like pride and dishonesty. Additionally, prophecies predicting future events must come true, and even accurate prophecies leading to disobedience are false. Prince underscores that true prophecy promotes spiritual freedom and life, harmonizing with God’s purposes and confirmed internally by the Holy Spirit in each listener.
