When my husband was 16 years old, at a youth conference, another kid told him “God told me you don’t have diabetes anymore.” So my husband who had no discernment yet (how many 16yo’s have discernment?) took off his insulin pump. He nearly died because of false prophecy. False prophecy is not just an “oopsie.” Bethel church teaches that prophecy must be practiced and it’s ok to mess up prophecy. Scripture is opposed to this teaching. Let us all pray for discernment 💜
There are 16 year-olds with greater spiritual discernment than people my age ( I am nearing the 5-0 ). It wasn't the fact the person was 16. There were other factors instead.
Once a friend came to me and said they had been praying about me and they felt God had given them a word to tell me. I appreciate it how the person asked me to pray about it and see if it was really was for me. They didn’t presume it was actually God or expect me to obey without thinking about it. I thought the person handled it very well.
This story is especially important in the day and age we live in where a single false prophet with a RUclips channel can simultaneously reach the entire world.
in the search I have been on for answers in my own personal life, the RUclips algorithm has picked up on what I have been doing and I keep getting videos recommended to me entitled: "this video is on your screen because GOD WILLED IT TO" or "THIS is an URGENT message form the Lord for YOU" and others along those lines. I had to stop clicking on those videos.
Yep all the online creators follow the same storylines and its seems freaky and coincidental but it's just that the media andcYT etc are running out of stuff to comment on...but it could be God leading us to his Church. Creepy or supernatural or just coincidence? You choose. 🙏🙏🙏
My son was having many seizures...I was sad and very afraid at the time he was about 8 years old..God sent a prophet to me and told me that God told him my son was healed and that he would never have another seizure..that was 12 years ago my son has never had another seizure he no longer takes meds...God still have words for his people.

I was once a victim of false prophecies given by a false prophet, which led me into severe depression and caused me to waste three years of my life(2020 - 2022). Now, I choose to forgive and move forward. This tragedy occurred mainly because, at that time, I chose to follow this person instead of Jesus. Brothers and sisters, I still believe that the Holy Spirit speaks to us every day, but we must rely on Jesus to discern the true from the false, not on any particular person. By diligently studying God's Word (logos), we can distinguish whether the rhema and prophecies are in accordance with God's teachings.
I had a lady my family knows but isn't friends with say she heard from my now wife's dead mother saying that she likes us together etc. She claims to be a medium. I rebuked her kindly and ended the chat
Yes, I have noticed RUclips has an abundance of “prophets” with a new proclamation or vision every week. And most have a PayPal or Venmo link tied to them.
@@hendriknieuwenhuizen4397 I believe he will reveal the fruit of a woman which allows you to make a choice to marry her. I don't believe God doesn't choose our spouse. God reveals himself to all people and we still have to choose to follow him
I remember years ago when someone came to my then pastor with one of these " God told me to tell you" messages. My pastor stopped them by saying, "That's funny, I had my daily conversation with Him this morning, and He said nothing like what you are saying. Do you think that He forgot to tell me"?
This is powerful thank you for this video Mr Parr,we Christians are so gullible. We need to spend more time in his word and in presence. No wonder the false prophets are messing us up.
Good stuff Allen! I trust no man who tells me "God told me to tell you X". I hear you, but no thanks! God knows me well enough to know how he needs to get a message to me that I'll accept that truly comes from him. God isn't in the business of tricking us, just like this prophet, God was specific in his instructions as to what this man should and shouldn't do regardless of outside voices. May God continue to give those who desire it, the gift of discernment to see the enemy for who he is!
We just have to always remember one of God's attributes which is the "immutability" of God Meaning He doesn't change So whatever God spoke to us through His written word He will never take it back or will never change what he said God will never oppose or contradicts what he said at first Malachi 3:6a NIV “I the Lord do not change.
Thank you for the message. We are living in desperate times. Personal responsibility and discernment are truly key to avoiding wasting your life because someone had a feeling about your life and then ascribe that feeling to a message from God.
Excellent teaching! Also, look at Queen Jezebel and Ahab….The danger of compromise and mixing idolatry (prosperity doctrine, man worship, running after “words” more than and/ or rather than Jesus Christ), mixing witchcraft with God’s Holy gifts by unholy people. God can speak through anyone and still does as He wills, but there is definitely some extra Biblical, scary stuff going on in some Christians circles. I was involved heavily in the prophetic movement at one time and God has been detoxifying and reteaching me about prophecy and His Gifts through the BIBLE in CONTEXT. Praise the Lord.
I like to thank you very much for your explanation of this particular subject because the way you broke it down really helped me to understand the time and the verses very well. This is like the best interpretation I have heard yet.May God continue to bless you and your family 🙏🏾
I remember when I first read this story. Man I was blown away! Lol. It’s definitely a lesson that you can’t always trust the word of anyone that says they’re a prophet and has a word from God for you!
This was an excellent lesson, at present I’m reading through the entire Bible for the 2nd time, the old testament can be hard to understand most of the time. This video just made that section of Kings click I just learned and understood more than just the lesson of false prophets , if possible could you do more teachings like this on the Old Testament? Thank you for all you do brother , Blessings to you.
This was one of my devotional passages this week. Also, a powerful story showing the importance of us staying obedient to God’s Word to us, even when we desire for someone else to “confirm” that word or have to deal with a season of isolation. I truly believe that’s what the prophet experienced and that emotion cost him everything.
God knows what He is talking about. We need to shake off our pride & say, "Yes, Sir!" Obey God & leave all the consequences to Him (Dr. Charles Stanley's wise words).
This message came in very timely. I just got back from church and enemy is coming at me with really bad temptation, packaging it in different ways to try to derail me. God is good. Jesus help me God. Thank you for deliverance oh God. Have your way precious God ✝️🙏🏾
Had the prophet from Judah prayed before accepting the invitation. He would have gotten a word for himself. After all he was a prophet We should not take man's words until asking God first.
The best way to ensure that one is not misled by a false teaching or an incorrect advice is to be sure that one is following all of the counsel contained in the word of God and to compare every teaching and every advice to that same word. That word is the only sure safeguard against any error. It is not right to just allow anyone to give us advice without ensuring that it harmonizes with the word of God.
I really enjoy the Old Testament. There’s a lot to be learned from it. I love the way you brought this story to life and explained the application. Thank you.
My neighbor kept telling me that God told him great things would come to me in the month of August. This is September. He let me know to never ever listen to him. Fortunately, his false prophesy wasn't harmful and I am blessed that it wasn't but he keeps stopping me outside to tell me what the Bible says. Finally, I told him, I can read.
Not necessarily. We are God’s hands and feet we are used to bring good news or instruction when needed. Going on the Word of God. When God in the form of the Holy Spirit instructs us to do something we can disregard that easier than hearing the same thing from someone familiar to us.
Thank you for this teaching. It's very timely in these days as many so called Prophets are out speaking. Indeed the Bible is complete in Truth and God does not violate any of His words. God bless brother.
I was having a conversation last evening, and i told the person that... God & i arent in Malice sooo No "Prophet" cant some say to me "God said xyz" 😅 i just talked to Him and he didn't say that, but I hear you & its noted! ESPECIALLY when after the "Prophecy" they asking to "Sew a seed" 🚩😂 Thanks for sharing! Sending Love from Jamaica 🇯🇲👊🏽
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING SO WELL. I WAS GLUED ON MY TABLET LISTENING TO YOU.🙏I have seen these kind of people say, God sent you this message e.t.c now I must watch out and ask the Holy Spirit for guidance.
I would like to make to suggestions for everyone: Learn to hear God's voice for yourself and rely on that primarily. We learn God's voice by reading His word, hear what we KNOW he has already said. BTW if you have only read the New Testament, you haven't gotten a full picture and do yourself a disservice. Secondly, my experience has been that God can use anyone to speak to me, they often don't even know it. I have had complete strangers who weren't even Christians speak to me out of the blue, not even knowing what they were saying, and it would be the answer to something I had been seeking the Lord about. Great video brother, keep them coming!
Great video Brother Allen, I read this story a while back, and I was curious about it. It's crucial that if you get a command from the Lord, do not stray to the left or right. God bless.
I was just thinking about this chapter in the Bible 2 days ago but i forgot. I just remembered it 2 minutes before watching this video and it just happened to be what i wanted. Thanks. Looks like the Lord answered my questions b4 I even asked.
All Glory and Praise be onto God!!! He alone Deserves all my praise 🙏🙏 I've struggled so much, I've prayed so hard, I've worked myself out, still I couldn't fit the bills at which I have. But now, I'm favoured, $60K every week! I can now give back to the locals in my community and also support God's work and the church. All Glory to God. 🙏🙏 Hallelujah
This video was excellent!! Well explained and I love teaching like this. Reading the scripture and explaining it. Thank you.I really enjoy your channel.
All this is why it is of the utmost importance to be able to study, discern, and rightfully divide Gods Word for yourself. And furthermore this is why Bro. Parr created the Faith School Program. I just completed it today, I recommend it to ALL PEOPLE, especially if you want to grow in the Lord. Period!!!
@@thebeatagpWhich people are preaching the gospel of the kingdom around the world to all nations as Jesus Christ said? Matthew 10:16, 24:14, 28:19-20, Mark 13:10, if not only only only the Jehovah's witnesses.
Thank you Allen for including the fact that people can be sincerely incorrect. Oftentimes followers of Christ mean to help however we must consider the TRUE source of our words.
when i was a kid, i had an episode of a severe asthma attack. back then, some people in the penticostal church we attended told my dad that "God" told them to toss my inhaler instead of administering it to me if they believe He could heal me. we were fairly new christians but my dad had the good sense to do otherwise once they left. two decades later, my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. some other people who were in the words of allen "sincere but sincerely wrong", told my dad that "God" is telling him to call off the treatment and surgery as he would be healed supernaturally. again, my dad did otherwise and today he is in remission. it is by the grace of God that my dad knew how to exercise discernment otherwise we both could have been six feet deep or worse still, have our faith completely shipwrecked due to these false promises. unfortunately, there are innocent christians out there who are getting bamboozled simply because of self-proclaimed prophets claiming to speak on behalf of God and that's what makes my blood boil. what i want to say is thank you Allen for this video. this is the kind of wisdom that a lot of us in the church need.
Wonderful topic and teachings like this needs to taught more. I was a young Christian growing up and it was ao common to go see the people who comes to town and say they are prophets. Well I'll never forget the day the Lord spoke to me regarding always going to get a word, from theses people who comes to town. Therw was this prophet from Buffalo New York that came to town and he was said to be the man that you want to hear. So I went to where he was and i had prayed that God woild give him a Word for me So the prophet is in his lane flowing with words, seeing for everyone but me. I prayed again because it was nearing thr end if service, Lord give this man a Word for me. Clear as day the Lord spoke to my spirit and said, these words that I can't forget: I speak to you and you run around to hear me from another? So for years no prophet spoke to me, they woold see me and say things like, young lady I see so much but I can't saya word. Or they would just look or stare and say the hand of God is on your life. Over the years the Lord have dealt me and tested me so. Now if anyone say anything to me, they really only confirm what God has told me or showed me. If they say anything that was not revealed to me in that moment I hear them however I pray as they speak to me about this, sometimes God lets me know in that moment if I should take heed or not. If that is said doesn't line up with the word, I disregard with a thought.
This certainly sounds like YWAM, where people are so quick to have a "Word from the Lord" for people! "God told me to tell you..." and "I believe God would have YOU...". People in these scenarios never to seem to have the fear of the Lord on their lives when they "prophesy"!
Thanks for teaching the Bible to us. So we can learn and use the applications for our own life. This story in Kings was very enlighten. I reading it now after watching your video. Thanks brother Allen.
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE YOUNGER PROPHET THE OLD PROPHET TRICKED HIM SAYING AN ANGEL TOLD HIM TO GO BACK TO EAT AND DRINK AND GOT HIM KILLED. BUT HE DID THIS OBEY GOD.
I loved this video .. My take away is "DISCERNMENT" .. We will continuously get messages from GOD; during a preaching, our daily prayers, a sermon, or even a conversation. ("IF" we are following GOD, that is, and not ourselves): These messages are for "OURSELVES" .. Remember that we are not sent from GOD, we often think the messages we are given is about others and we need to tell others to apply it to "THEIR" lives .. This is the "wrong thinking", we need to apply these teachings from GOD into our own lives first; then share the changes we have made in our own lives, to help others to learn "Discernment" for themselves .. Thank you and GOD Bless everyone ..
Brother, great way of explaining this. You made me think deeply enough to be careful myself of others. Thank you, very much!!!!👍 😊 The peace and grace of God in your life always. And His anointing to continue in your life in everything you do!!!
Mr Parr, this was (is) amazing video. Thank you so much. I felt like i was there, living in the pages on the Bible. I’ve read the Bible 3 times now cover to cover and never had this story been this vivid. Thank you. My revelation was, if God spoke to the real prophet, why did he suddenly think He would someone ride to speak to him? Please do more of these videos
Believe it or not this the THE story I always refer to when considering these "Men of God" who always talk about receiving a "word from the LORD." For some reason it's unknown and many Christians need to be more familiar with it! Thanks for this video!
Criteria for prophecy: Verifiable details and consistency with Scripture. Criteria for a prophet: Sound doctrine and discernment. Where it gets difficult: When the Lord uses ungodly people to serve His Purpose and deliver a message to us, and when people with a real demonic spirit of divination prophesy accurately.
That's why experience is so important to a Christian. Events that baffled me in my 20s were made clear as I grew in Christ. Please give God time and He will bring clarity to your questions and concerns...❤

As you should
Wow
Wow
Absolutely! She was talking to a demon! We are to avoid mediums !
a lot on the internet claims these "the Lord spoke to me" even preachers.
This isn't to dismiss the idea of the Lord wanting to speak to us intimately, but that we need to be discerning when we're listening to any preacher.

I am awed by people these days, always saying God told me ,I heard from God, almost always!!!!

This story in the bible had me so confused!!! Thank you for explaining this!
Thank you for not changing the meaning of what God gave to us but bringing the word to us in terms we can understand. Such a difficult skill.
All this is why it is of the utmost importance to be able to study, discern, and rightfully divide Gods Word for yourself. And furthermore this is why Bro. Parr created the Faith School Program.
I just completed it today, I recommend it to ALL PEOPLE, especially if you want to grow in the Lord. Period!!!
Amen brother! Thank you for the endorsement.
@@thebeatagpWhich people are preaching the gospel of the kingdom around the world to all nations as Jesus Christ said? Matthew 10:16, 24:14, 28:19-20, Mark 13:10, if not only only only the Jehovah's witnesses.
Thank you for bringing understanding in this way.
What a word Pastor! My pastor used this portion of scripture to as a cross reference in his sermon on Sunday!!!
Thank you Allen for including the fact that people can be sincerely incorrect. Oftentimes followers of Christ mean to help however we must consider the TRUE source of our words.
Great teaching. I understand the narrative better now and I also gained application from it. GOD bless you my brother
when i was a kid, i had an episode of a severe asthma attack. back then, some people in the penticostal church we attended told my dad that "God" told them to toss my inhaler instead of administering it to me if they believe He could heal me. we were fairly new christians but my dad had the good sense to do otherwise once they left. two decades later, my dad was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. some other people who were in the words of allen "sincere but sincerely wrong", told my dad that "God" is telling him to call off the treatment and surgery as he would be healed supernaturally. again, my dad did otherwise and today he is in remission. it is by the grace of God that my dad knew how to exercise discernment otherwise we both could have been six feet deep or worse still, have our faith completely shipwrecked due to these false promises. unfortunately, there are innocent christians out there who are getting bamboozled simply because of self-proclaimed prophets claiming to speak on behalf of God and that's what makes my blood boil. what i want to say is thank you Allen for this video. this is the kind of wisdom that a lot of us in the church need.
God bless you brother Allen and all that you do. I pray as you continue the work of God the enemy won't also get to you.
Wonderful topic and teachings like this needs to taught more. I was a young Christian growing up and it was ao common to go see the people who comes to town and say they are prophets.
Well I'll never forget the day the Lord spoke to me regarding always going to get a word, from theses people who comes to town.
Therw was this prophet from Buffalo New York that came to town and he was said to be the man that you want to hear.
So I went to where he was and i had prayed that God woild give him a Word for me
So the prophet is in his lane flowing with words, seeing for everyone but me.
I prayed again because it was nearing thr end if service, Lord give this man a Word for me. Clear as day the Lord spoke to my spirit and said, these words that I can't forget:
I speak to you and you run around to hear me from another? So for years no prophet spoke to me, they woold see me and say things like, young lady I see so much but I can't saya word.
Or they would just look or stare and say the hand of God is on your life. Over the years the Lord have dealt me and tested me so. Now if anyone say anything to me, they really only confirm what God has told me or showed me. If they say anything that was not revealed to me in that moment I hear them however I pray as they speak to me about this, sometimes God lets me know in that moment if I should take heed or not.
If that is said doesn't line up with the word, I disregard with a thought.
Please do a video on how to test a spirit. Thank you for your videos.
Never assume sincerity as truth.
This type of videos is my favorite of your videos, Mr Parr 🥰 So insightful
This certainly sounds like YWAM, where people are so quick to have a "Word from the Lord" for people! "God told me to tell you..." and "I believe God would have YOU...". People in these scenarios never to seem to have the fear of the Lord on their lives when they "prophesy"!
Thank you for this necessary message. People are too easily deceived. We all need to study God's Word more so that we won't be fooled.
Thanks for teaching the Bible to us. So we can learn and use the applications for our own life. This story in Kings was very enlighten. I reading it now after watching your video. Thanks brother Allen.
I FEEL SORRY FOR THE YOUNGER PROPHET THE OLD PROPHET TRICKED HIM SAYING AN ANGEL TOLD HIM TO GO BACK TO EAT AND DRINK AND GOT HIM KILLED. BUT HE DID THIS OBEY GOD.
Facts!!!!
I do too. You cannot trust everyone who says they have a word for you
False prophecies can give you false hope and when the true come, it's overwhelming and can cause stead death.
I loved this video .. My take away is "DISCERNMENT" .. We will continuously get messages from GOD; during a preaching, our daily prayers, a sermon, or even a conversation. ("IF" we are following GOD, that is, and not ourselves): These messages are for "OURSELVES" .. Remember that we are not sent from GOD, we often think the messages we are given is about others and we need to tell others to apply it to "THEIR" lives .. This is the "wrong thinking", we need to apply these teachings from GOD into our own lives first; then share the changes we have made in our own lives, to help others to learn "Discernment" for themselves .. Thank you and GOD Bless everyone ..
Brother, great way of explaining this. You made me think deeply enough to be careful myself of others.
Thank you, very much!!!!👍 😊
The peace and grace of God in your life always. And His anointing to continue in your life in everything you do!!!
Awesome teaching! Thank you for letting God use you and sticking to the word 🙏
Mr Parr, this was (is) amazing video. Thank you so much. I felt like i was there, living in the pages on the Bible. I’ve read the Bible 3 times now cover to cover and never had this story been this vivid. Thank you. My revelation was, if God spoke to the real prophet, why did he suddenly think He would someone ride to speak to him? Please do more of these videos
Allen I like the way you stick to the bible. Bless you my brother in Christ!
Thanks you, love your narrative and message.
I don't remember this story. Very good breakdown of it, and this applies very much to today during the information age we live in.
Thanks for sharing 🙏🏿
His grace and mercy be upon you and your loved ones 🕊️🥛🍯
Believe it or not this the THE story I always refer to when considering these "Men of God" who always talk about receiving a "word from the LORD." For some reason it's unknown and many Christians need to be more familiar with it! Thanks for this video!
Pray for discernment
These type of videos of yours are always my favorite.
Great video. A story from the OT and some application. Hope to see more like these (not every time of course).
I was just reading this story this morning!!
Thank you for sharing this wisdom 😊😊
Criteria for prophecy: Verifiable details and consistency with Scripture.
Criteria for a prophet: Sound doctrine and discernment.
Where it gets difficult: When the Lord uses ungodly people to serve His Purpose and deliver a message to us, and when people with a real demonic spirit of divination prophesy accurately.
That's a powerful word
That's why experience is so important to a Christian. Events that baffled me in my 20s were made clear as I grew in Christ. Please give God time and He will bring clarity to your questions and concerns...❤
Good word Brother Allen. Thank you!
Very Good Teaching Allen.
