FAQ
Full Teaching
1. What is a prophet?
A prophet is one who receives revelation from the spiritual realm and speaks on behalf of that source.
Prophecy means speaking forth—not calculating.
2. Fulfillment is not the standard
False prophets can speak things that come true.
True prophets can speak things not yet fulfilled or that may not occur.
Therefore, fulfillment is not the measure.
3. Truth is the only standard
Truth does not change with time, circumstances, or emotions.
Everything must be discerned through Truth.
4. GOD and the devil both have prophets
The devil imitates everything GOD does.
Therefore, true and false prophets exist simultaneously.
5. Prophecy can change
GOD may turn judgment into blessing if people repent.
Or turn blessing into judgment if people fall away.
6. Anyone can prophesy
GOD can use:
– humans
– sinners
– animals
– time and creation
But that does not make them true prophets.

Live the Truth, not just speak it.
