Do Prophets Still Exist Today?
In other words can God still use someone to tell you something about your future? That’s coming up next on the BEAT.
Hey everyone my name is Allen Parr thank you so much for visiting my channel. Here on the BEAT we release a brand new video every Tuesday and today we are talking about the controversial subject of prophecy and whether this gift still exists today. And so I want to give you 3 things that I see that are different about prophets in the Bible and modern-day prophets then end by answering the question “what should you do when someone comes to you and says ‘I have a word from God for you’”
1. Prophets confronted SIN and called to REPENTANCE
a. The prophets of the OT challenged the people head-on on sin issues that they were dealing with in that day (whether it may be immorality, adultery, idolatry, oppression of the poor, obstruction of justice, etc.) and then called the people back to repentance.
b. These guys were HATED by the people and often times got stoned because their message consisted of things people DIDN’T want to hear rather than telling them what they DID want to hear
c. This is a very different message than what we hear today where modern-day prophets often avoid confronting our generation on issues of sexual sin, adultery, divorce, abortion and instead focus more on things they know people do want to hear such as pronouncing blessing, prosperity, healing and financial breakthrough over people’s lives.
2. Prophets were SPECIFIC not GENERAL
a. You ever go to a church service and someone who claims to be a prophet says “there’s someone in here with cancer? And that could be like half the people in there.”
b. There is someone sitting on the third row who went to the doctor on Thursday and got diagnosed with pancreatic cancer who has been given 3 months to live.
c. Prophets in the Bible were very careful to make sure that they were truly Deut. 18:20 says, “Stoned which means they were very careful to make sure they were speaking on behalf of God” which means we need to be very careful about saying that we “have a word from God” for someone or “God told me to tell you…”
d. So, when you are assessing whether someone is a prophet or not make they are specific with their prophecies.
e. Accurate - they came to pass 100% of the time. There was no hit or miss with a true prophet.
f. And the didn’t depend on whether the people receiving it had enough faith to believe it.
3. Prophets were not MOTIVATED by MONEY
a. You got so many prophets today who will charge people an arm and a leg to attend a conference knowing how desperate people are to hear a word from God. Then when they get into the conference they promise people a financial blessing if they further sow a seed into their ministry.
b. The prophets in the bible lived and led very humble lives which is much different than much of what we see today. WITH ALL OF THAT BEING SAID…
What should you do when someone speaks a word of prophecy over you?
a. Receive it because it could very well be that God is trying to get a message to you through them - 1 Thess. 5:20-21
b. Check it against the Scripture because God never contradicts Himself and the Bible says He is not the author of confusion. He will never tell a prophet something to tell you - 1 Jn. 4:1
c. Ask God to confirm it to you - I’ve seen people adjust their entire lives and make decisions based on what a self-proclaimed prophet told them only to later discover that person didn’t hear from God but it was too late.
d. Ask God for wisdom - James 1:5
So, does the gift of prophecy still exist today? I don’t see anywhere in the Bible that clearly says it doesn’t but the problem is you may have to sift through a few false prophets who will lead you astray to get to a true prophet.
When I feel like I need a word from God I simply open my bible
Great comment, coincidence that yours was #777?
Amen! The Word is prophecy! 💪🏽
Psalm 137:9
Enjoy!
The thing about prophets is that you typically don't seek them. They are usually sent.
You sound like you might be a real Christian
I've never met a true prophet but I've run across many false ones. Waiting for Christ.
5 years later and this video is still so relevant. This helped me a lot. Thank you!!!
Oh My Goodness! This young man has it 100% correct. As a person who has seen the decline over the past 50+ yrs in the accurate understanding of a true prophet, it is refreshing to hear a young person vet it right. The prophet, designated by God, generally had a corporate word for nation or leader. This contemporary "version" of prophesy amounts to fortune telling which is demonic and self-serving. Thankz young man, you got it RIGHT!
You don’t have to be a prophet to hear a word from god about someone that’s a word of knowledge
Good morning Alek, prophets do give a word that is future word in that person's life and manifest exactly how God told that person, i.e. You gonna have your brother from prison come home next week after 29 years in prison, and next week that are home.
@@aplustechucation4712 😂😂
Exactly! But you don't hear much about a "Word of knowledge " or " Word of wisdom " (which is clearly given by Holy Spirit to NEW TESTAMENT BELIEVERS).. But seems like everyone wants to just claim the TITLES of Prophets and Apostles! peace and blessings 🙌
I absolutely agree with what you said about the so-called prophets of today. It is so refreshing to hear the truth. You tube is inundated with people calling themselves prophets. They never speak of sin but seem to have much to say about financial blessings tied to supporting "their ministry". May God bless you for speaking the truth.
I'm so glad you made this video! I have to send this to so many people. Thank you JESUS! ❤🙏🏽✝️
Y thank Jesus if u go by this video then Jesus is a false prophet
I think what people think is “prophetic” is actually the gift of a “Word of Wisdom”
And likewise, being prophetic isn't the same as being a [true] prophet.
This is the 3rd video I've watched today. This channel is awesome. So many of us need this! Thank you for what you do!
Tiffany Hackworth thanks so much! I hope you will enjoy the channel and this BEAT community. Welcome!
you are lazy and need to read the bible for yourself
Same here
When I start going with his videos, I can’t stop!
@@thebeatagp REPENT: Christmas is condemned in Revelation 11:10 and Jeremiah 10:1-5. Easter is condemned in Acts 12:4 and Ezekiel 8:16.
The heathens kept Christmas as shown in Jeremiah 10:1-5 by decking the trees they cut out of the forest with gold and silver. Today people use gold and silver look alikes. By keeping Christmas, you are observing the downfall of mankind in the garden of Eden. There is only one season in the year when the heathens are merry and exchange gifts as written in Revelation 11:10. I am not truly a member of any earthly church but I do visit Sabbath churches like the Adventist and church of God. Sometimes I meet Sunday keepers and because I love them, I tell them to repent. I am a member of the body of Christ Jesus of Nazareth in heaven.
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephesians 4:11 KJV
Period
What about this verse?
Hebrews 1:1-2
[1]Long ago God spoke many times and in many ways to our ancestors through the prophets.
[2]And now in these final days, he has spoken to us through his Son. God promised everything to the Son as an inheritance, and through the Son he created the universe.
@@jericlamb2676 thanks.
Jeric Lamb The son ascended on high.
But he left some captive and gave gifts to men. To be his witnesses.
The Son(Anointed One) is still speaking. Namely through Apostles, prophets, evangelists, Pastors and teachers.
God has always used men and he still does.
@@rushramel yes true He ascended to heaven, but His word or bible stil remain today, only 12 apostles had witnesses not jehovah witnesses
This is the definition of witness
a person who sees an event, typically a crime or accident, take place.
"police are appealing for witnesses to the accident"
Great video. Really answered something I didn't even realize I needed to know. But when I seen the title of this video I knew yes this is very relevant in today's world.
Another balanced teaching from Brother Allen Parr. Thank you!
"Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for him."
I'm glad I came across this video. I read Jeremiah 23:21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they run around claiming to speak for me. I have given them no message, yet they go on prophesying
Brother Allen, you are a breath of fresh air (via the Holy Spirit) in this world. Thank you for your vids! GOD bless you, my brother...
Thanks Allen. I asked about this topic in one of your other post then came across this video. It was great and answered my questions. Thanks
I'm a Southern Baptist woman who has had dreams and a vision about the end times. I had no help from the SB because of cessation. Went to a charismatic church for advice and their ideas of prophecy don't match scripture. Someone claiming to have new revelation not in scripture, is not something I believe. I also can't plan a date to have a dream, a vision or a word and charge people to come to it. Scripture should do the heavy lifting of revelation. The Holy Spirit should help with specific application. My dreams and visions do not contradict scripture and I wasn't given a date. But a sense of urgency came over me to let what I've been shown set my priorities. One vision I had was seeing the church as people with their heads down busy sitting at desks. Too busy with what's in front of them to notice the time of day, much less to look at the clock to see it's almost time to go home. The sense of urgency first made me think it was coming now. But I think I'm supposed to live like it's coming now, even if soon to God is 50 more years. If God gives us more years of freedom in this country, it's so we can fill the lifeboats, not to make us prosperous. When the dreams came, a sin issue I struggled with for years was taken. And I don't care a thing about the comforts of this world.
Here is a video about Prophecy base on scripture you may want to watch. Remember God speaks to his people today through his word(The Bible) not through dreams.
Video: ua-cam.com/video/UTWLTYT7KYI/v-deo.html
Fill the lifeboats I love that because In Matthew the coming of Jesus is compared to the days of Noah.
@@Camelotskin
Is this still in your bible?
Acts 2:16-17 KJV
prophet Joel; [17] And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
@@travishowett1189 I think the problem is what God speaks to us individually should not be monetized on platforms.
@@Camelotskin Not true.
Great teaching! I can tell you are a spirit filled believer!!!
Allen, bro you’re such a blessing. I will be using this for my research as I’m opposed to the prophetic presbytery.
A very balanced and, more importantly, biblical video. Thank you for posting.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 good teaching ❤️. This one got a stand up clap in my spirit lol.
Great thoughts from the bible. Thank you.
Thank you I needed this after listening to your 5 week on the gifts.
Thank you Brother Allen. Really been wondering about this.
There are times when the Lord has used other people to speak to me. I'm not sure they are prophets nor do they even realize God has used them. Hmmm is that prophecy?
Great topic Pastor!
This video reminded me about something I thought about earlier, why is it easier (or seemingly easy) to hear what God has for someone else, but when it comes to one's self, there is always this "struggle" to hear God?
There have been many times, when the Lord has brought someone to mind to pray or to let them know God has a word for them (of course, I am very careful in how I communicate this so that I don't say anything more or less). I am always told, "I needed to hear that. Thank God you said this or confirmed this, etc." I'm like...."Lord? what about me?"
Are you a prophecy?
Your channel is great! Really helpful to what I have been considering in my life as I do think there are a lot of false prophets.
Every video that I watch of you teaching has helped me in so many ways. God, Jesus, and the Holy spirit are doing great things in you. Thank you for doing this.
Now that just made my day! Thanks so much Heather.
You're more than welcome. I get so much from your video's.
I’ve been on the fence about the prophets/“prophets” I’ve seen and it’s because they’re always so full of positivity and generalizations. The last man I watched, stood in front of the congregation and announced that someone would be gaining a very large inheritance and would write a $250k check to the church. I’m definitely testing this to see if it happens.
Thank you for all you do, Allen; you’re always very uplifting and help to open my eyes to the Lord with every video.
Any updates on who got that $250k?
Update?
Hi, sounds like you should find a new church. A pastor should have addressed this false word, he didn't?
That is a "profit" 😂
I think people should read Hebrews chapter 1 so they can get a clear understanding of whether a prophet still exists today or not.
read book of joel
Prophets dont exist anymore.
Read Matthew 23:34
Amen
Why can't anyone answer regarding this scripture instead of thinking they can just fight back with other scripture. Everything needs context. The full counsel of God's word needs to be considered at the very very least.
thank you for this video- super clear and honest- God bless you brother
You are owesome thanks you cleared my doubt about the prophets this days.
I want to lovingly disagree with Allen on this. Hebrews 1:1-2 says that Jesus is the final speaker of God. I believe anything that we need to know about God’s will is in His Word. He did speak through the prophets and in many different ways in the OT, but we have the sufficiency of Scripture. 2 Tim. 3:15-17. I understand it’s a difference in opinion but everything we could ever want to learn about God is already revealed to us in the Scriptures. Just my take.
So you wouldn't consider Apostle Paul to be a prophet?
It's kind of true that everything is in the scriptures but religions hold flawed core beliefs based on misinterpretations which make whole religions corrupt and pointless.
What about Ephesians 4 : 11 and Joel chapfer 2?
Matthew Brannon I disagree with you because like us still exist in the last days sons and daughters prophesy young man will dream dreams and old men see visions prophesy is for all believers but the office of the prophet/prophetess plus word of knowledge is from God through the holy Spirit read about eligah passed the mantle of the prophet to Elisha the annointing still exist doesn't leave the earth .
Yes I understand ur point bro. I assume you think spiritual gifts and I mean only spiritual gifts sre ceased. Well I don't think that, it depends a lot of how you interpret scripture. Anyways I absolutely agree with you that the Bible has revealed everything about God we need to know. So no Prophet's gonna come and tell you something different not acording to scripture. But I think God can work through someone with a prophetic gift to tackle a certain point he wants to make. So it's not about the knowledge of God but a lot more about how can speak to you. And yes God speaks in many different ways and he will get to you even if you don't belive that the prophetic gift is still working today. Anyways brother God bless you and I'll hope we'll see us someday either here or above:D.
Christianity is the only religion that is the most divided when it comes to the bible, that's why there are hundreds of denominations,, christians sent one (1) if we all got together and became one in Spirit, we will see a great outpouring Of The Spirit
Amen!!!! I agree
@Szacklo Kai
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
@Szacklo Kai i agree i always say that Religion is a counterfeit of God, Made by satan and the wicked human heart.thats why as christians we shouldnt follow religion but we should follow jesus.
@Szacklo Kai Hebrews 1
1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,
2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
Thank you, Mr. Parr for liberally explaining the current existence of prophets and comparing Biblical prophets with contemporary ones. Following my comment, I will have to review your video footage because I admire the manner in which you have presented your topic of discussion. I may have to take notes down so that in the future when the Jehovah Witnesses know at my door, they and I will approach this topic reasonably. 👍🏽🙏🏾🇯🇲
Thanks for this Allen!
I just want to say the bible did say he gave some Apostles, some prophets some evangelist,some teachers and preachers..for the perfection of the saints for the work of the ministry(His ministry..not mans)..we all know the word gave is past tense..he never said that he was still giving but He did say:And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream
.notice he didn't say Apostle Prophets..etc but he said he will sons and daughters will still be able to prophesy..I think the biggest mistake the church made was following man tradtions who start giving people these titles ..you got people saying Apostles come before prophets because they were mentions first in that text but biblically prophets came first but I'm not going there..but this thing hit me a few days ago that's why I been looking to see what others had to say about this..God bless you bro..Keep doing what you do.
You know the mark of a prophet is the ability to prophesy right?
If He raised some apostles etc. before, why are you wondering if He raised some of them now? Remember Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.
A prophet once stopped me as I was about to leave church, he whisper in my ear telling me somethings about myself only I knew and no one else could possibly know about me. I never said a word only listened. I was amazed .
Right same things here they have to be around obviously how could they know when you had that Convo with God !
The enemy knows you too?
@@C31living
Right, many is so hard headed.
that is word of knowledge, not anything to do with prophecy 🩷. Prophecy is in regards to the future. all they did was tell you facts about yourself, that’s isn’t a prophecy about the future. God bless 🩷🙏🏽
Finally a more balanced teaching on the office of a prophet rather they are for today or not and how to confirm from the LORD on things you get from a person....Glory to Jesus,
Amen Amen 🙏 and good teaching from the Word of God
Hebrews 1:1-2New International Version (NIV)God’s Final Word: His Son1 In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe.
Well said Fat Mann...
Yeah but what about Romans 12 where it says ''We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man's gift is prophesy, let him use it proportion to his faith.'' and 1 Thess 5.19-21 ''Do not put out the Spirits fire; do not treat prophecies with contempt. Test everything. Hold on to the good.'' What do you think.. I've considered these scriptures and the Hebrews one and I just don't know.
First one needs to understand what a prophet does. They don't look into the future like these guys today. A prophet proclaims God's Word.
Actually, if you look at Isaiah's prophecies against Damascus, Cush, Egypt etc, these are prophecies concerning the future. And that of the prophet Nathan when he says to David ''Now, therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you despised me and took the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your own. “This is what the Lord says: ‘Out of your own household I am going to bring calamity on you.
Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who
is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight. You did it in secret, but I will do this thing in broad daylight before all Israel.’” Then David said to Nathan, “I have sinned against the Lord.”Nathan replied, “The Lord has taken away your sin. You are not going to die. But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for the Lord, the son born to you will die.” 2 Samuel 12.10-14 And some prophecies speak of the restoration of Israel, albeit usually after the destruction of Israel but there are still good prophecies in the Old Testament. I do see the difference what was prophesied then to the majority of what is being prophesied these days but my previous church prophesied only it wasn't about prosperity or health and the teaching was pretty sound from what I remember. I was prophesied to once when I'd come back to church after backsliding through the pain of my past. I was broken and an elderly lady in the church prophesied to me saying that God is going to use me to help others with what I'd been through. I've helped one person and I'm currently helping another. I don't think of my old church as false prophets/teachers in any way, shape or form, I felt they were in error in.. well.. one issue, I didn't like that they sometimes had women preach, though it's policy not to have a female pastor within the denomination, but I felt called to another church as well as having this issue. I just want to know if prophecy is still relevant today.
+Fat Mann prophets are real, I'm one, I testify that the gift is still here,, desire above all else to prophecy.. some people believe that prophesying and tongue speaking and wisdom and knowledge passed away
Good job, Allen. I've had to drop a few words myself. Haha.
Ha! Thanks Ted. Great job on your videos as well man. Hope and pray your ministry continues to prosper!
ALRIGHT NOW THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Awesome!
Thank you sir! Great video.
Numbers 12:6
he said, “Listen to my words:
“When there is a prophet among you,
I, the Lord, reveal myself to them in visions,
I speak to them in dreams.
Hi, you are a definite false prophet.
you clarified the need for prophets today by using Gods discernment for us. thank you.have a blessed day.

GREAT job brother!
Right on!
Don't sleep on this framework at the end, it's very good: 1. Receive it 1 Thess 5:20-21 2. Check it 1 John 4:1 3. Confirm it 5. Pray for wisdom - Jam. 1:5

Oh okay! Who is this? Thank you for viewing the videos.
Eric Seall :)
Ahhh, young Eric! Good to hear from you young man! So glad that you are enjoying the videos. How is your summer going? Also, the offer still stands if you would like to help out with the camp. If you are unable then that is fine. Either week is good. July 11-15 or July 18-22. Reach out to me anytime if you need any mentoring spiritually. I'd love to help guide you along. God bless you young man!
Also, yes I am trying new thumbnail designs. The previous ones had font that was too small to read. People could not see the title easily.
While living in Miami, Florida with my children's mother, she follows a man (preacher) people claim to be a prophet, this video was very helpful as I do not attend this man's service. I will continue to learn and will make my decision to accompany her to his service. Thank You Mr. Allen Parr
Very blessed message and how true....
I am new to Christianity and there is a prophet that comes to my church every now and again. The first time I saw him was end of 2017 and he prophesied to my whole family (5 of us) and everything he said to me and my husband came true.
He was here again this past weekend and called on me twice. The first time he told me something that I have been feeling in my spirit the past few months and I felt he confirmed it for me.
I feel like he’s the real deal. I’ve also heard him tell others that they need to get right with God or stop hanging around the friends they have and make better decisions.
Even though this is the first prophet I’ve heard (in a way) I came from a cult that I was born into and was denied the truth about the Bible for the first 36 years of my life. I think God knows I can’t handle being taken advantage of again. There have been several instances where I have needed to make choices and I asked Him to show me the way and the first options have been spot on. Thank you for making this video, brother! God bless xo
I read your comment and it concerned me. The first part that concerned me was how you mentioned that this person claiming to be a prophet visited your church. I'm concerned about what type of Christian church would support this.
Then I noticed how you mentioned how some of what he said came true. A prophit is not a fortune teller, nor a person who tells the future. A prophet is one who has ability above the average person to understand how GOD works, and understand people. A prophet has discernment given by God through the holy spirit. And I will tell you something that only a prophit would know and understand. When prophecy is written or told regarding the future, what is said is from knowing what is possible. What is possible will happen when given enough time. Especially being that time is infinite. This is why a time is never given of when the prophecy will take place.
I also want you to be aware of your history, being that you were in a cult. I don't know what kind of cult you were in, but many cults are based on the worship of a person or an idea. Many of their followers are influenced and manipulated by a leader or by an idea created by a leader. In essence, both are the leader. Either people looking for a person to lead, worship or control them find assurance in being in an a cult. Or people who were born into one or forced into one become dependent as a result of manipulation and abuse. Or you can call it brainwashing.
I couldn't help but notice the possibility of you feeling the need for a person like that. Maybe even seen this in this "prophet" you spoke of.
Christianity is sometimes confused with the worship of Jesus Christ. This is far from the truth. Jesus himself would say this. It is about honoring, loving, and living for God and how he intended us to live. I will have to add " given the circumstances", being that society is structured in absence of this concept. Jesus is the way to God. His words are the truth and the way. His love is God. And his sacrifice was a gift to save us from our sins. When you know the word, and receive the holy spirit, it all is understood.
Scripture tells us to live to honor God not man(people). Don't look for a person to honor or worship. This is idolatry. Live to honor God, and only him. And do this through Jesus.
Even I, with all the gifts. wisdom and love I have been endowed with. Only God is credited for what I do with those gifts. Even if I saved a person from a burning building, God gave me the ability to do it.
Learn and understand how GOD works to know how to receive Grace (live in peace wile blessed). Blessed is unharmed by worldly things. When you receive Grace, you will be blessed not because nothing bad will ever happen. But because it will do no harm. You will even find blessings within the shortcomings. And you will trust in God. It is then you will find true peace.
He who speaks of your future is not a prophet. For a true prophet will say " care for the now". When worried he will say " let tomorrow worry about tomorrow". And if he tells you what he knows about your future, or what he knows that about you or your family. These are parlor tricks. They are designed to come true. Or to connect an occurrence to a vague interpretation. No prophet claims to be so in a Church of God. For this is God's house, a house of love.
Remember; even the most Godly man to walk this earth is a sinner. And the devil will come to you as an angel of light. He will come to you like a thief in the night. Some believe the devil or his workers won't step foot in a house of God. This is far from the truth. It is their favorite place. And they who are closest to God, are their favorite victims. Their only useful weapon on the faithful is confusion. And this the devil is the author. Knowledge is your defence. Be harmless as a dove, but wise as a serpent. God Bless

Thank you brother.I was listening to this on the edge of my seat but when you didn't say that prophesies have ceased , I had a sigh of relief.God bless you.
Keep it real bro!
You make good videos. Always well thought out and presented in an understandable way...
Well said. I am starting to see things differently by reading the new testament and asking the holy spirit why there was no profits in the new testament. And there were profits in the old testament. I search the bible and found that John the Baptist was the first and last profit in the new testament. I could be wrong. But this is what I read. As soon as John the Baptist baptized Jesus, he died shortly after that and Jesus came to spead the good news. That things were going to be different. Salvation, relationship, repentance, love, healing, intimacy, compassion. And I also see in the new testament, it outlines the future and what will take place. I could be wrong. But I am going to keep seeking the holy spirit and ask God to reveal this to me, through his word. Bless you brother.

God would usually send a message to me if there was something in my life which needed correction. I didn't like it but I learned to listen bc I realized God loved me so of course He is always concerned for my well being. Now I listen.😊
Hi Sally, what teachès us is the written Word of. Scriptures in her teaches that the word is God breathed and profitable for teaching and correction. Needling a person to correct you will not mature you spiritually. It brings opportunity for false prophets to speak into your life. You have a sure word that teaches you when you read and study the Word of God. You will hear God when you open your ears to His written word.

Thank you Allen for this video. Have you ever encountered a true prophet in your life?
What does Acts 2:17-18 state....
Yes God still can use the Holy Spirit and does to communicate message to people....including visions....dreams...etc. God still performs miracles....he still heals the sick...etc...
Sadly...the cast vast majority of so called prophets and gifts today in highly charismatic movements are false.
Scripture and the Holy Spirit never....never contradict so if you find yourself in a church with a bunch of people jumping up and down banking away in gibberish get out....if you see a man proclaiming himself to be prophet and slapping people on the forehead...asking for money...proud...etc....get out.
You may find someone come to you and say God has put you on there hearts and they have a message for you.....it will not be a marketing compagne about them...there will be numbness and you will be able you prove it through prayer and scripture.
You can't stop at verse 18. You must read Acts 2:19-20. This tells us when this will happen. After the Tribulation begins. The other thing Acts 2-17-18 says I will pour out my Spirit on ALL flesh. Not just some
Thanx 4 this
Spot on Sir!! Excellent work! Diadem Life William
Great teaching ...the so called prophets today give out prophesies that dont come true and simply ignore the 100% truth God says they must be ...I wonder how many would call themselves prophets today if the death pentality was the treatment for false prophecy
I am a Prophet.
@@briannoone9475 Do the things you prophesy come to pass?
When you started talking about the money motivation, made me think of a message I heard years ago about the pagan prophet Balaam. Message was entitled "Prophet for profit." Always think about that when I see these hucksters who's god is green and made of cotton fiber.
Yes the spirit of Balaam! Good one and great title. Lol
Amen my brother ❤ 🙌
and thank you for it
I received a serious prophetic word which was specific to me the pastor told me that I should stop gambling with my eternity because I had bad influences outside church and was living a secret life of fornicating
Everyone does, everyone sins and falls short... thats not prophetic, that is written scripture.
@@ceejay7679 not everyone fornicates though
@@TimothyNyota I said everyone sins. You don't need a prophetic message to tell you that your sinning.
@@ceejay7679 My point was that this might have been prophetic since he was told the exact sin that he was committing
Get away from them. You are dealing with a true false prophet.
I have yet to see or hear a true prophet.
Have you looked?

The gifts were given to confirm the word of God, that the prophet may be heard. Mark 16:17:20. Example Acts 3.
The gifts were also given to stregnthen the Church. There was no complete bible to preach from, so the Holy ghost worked directly through mankind.
1 Corinthians 12:1-13.
We also see with the exeptiin of the apostles, Acts 2, and the gentiles, for a specic reason, Acts 10-44-48, the holy spirit was passed by the laying of hands by the Apostles. Acts 8:12-18.
Paul mentions these gifts in
1 Corinthians chpts 12-14.
1 Cor 13:8-12 tells us that these prophesies will fail when the perfect (complete) comes. I believe that greek word perfect, which means complete is refering to the complete revelation of God which is the bible. Then vs 9 and 10 would mean, we know in part, we prophesy in part, but when we have the complete revelation of God, then that which is done in part will be done away with.
So, you will not find a true prophet today.
If a prophet says part of the gospel, then he's isn't saying enough.
If a prophet says more than the bible, then he is saying too much
If a "prophet says just what the bible says, the prophesy is not needed. That's just preaching and teaching.
Very well done!! GBU!!
Great teachings 👍🏼
They still exist today. I personally have the gift of prophecy. I tried to ignore it but multiple people from my church pointed me to that spiritual gift and that the impressions I sometimes get are not my own. The issue is that there are a lot of wolves and false prophets. If someone comes to you saying they have a word from God, remember 1 John 4
Hmmm...
Hi ,feeling something in your gut is self, not God.Glad you are so cautious.Some would get puffed up or falsely accept what others say. A true prophet hears so clearly,he can even test it with scriptures.
you can have the gift of prophecy but that doesn’t mean you are a prophet. those are two different things. God bless
@@jjvnreawhat’s the difference? I thought they were the same thing
@@marika_meekthe gift off prophecy is being able to prophecy from what God has communicated to you about different things. But to be under the name of an ordained prophet, nobody meets that criteria today. and like the video mentions, prophets were before Jesus. And the bible tells us, back in those days, God HAD to communicate to us through prophets because Jesus wasn’t here yet. But now, Jesus already came, and we now only need him and and his written word and the Holy Spirit. There are no more prophets, nor are they needed today. To say there are still prophets basically means you’re saying that the written word, the bible, is unfinished. But this video explains majority of the reason why the gift of prophecy and being an actual prophet are two different things.
additionally, prophecy by a prophet back in those days, were 100% accurate 100% of the time like the video says. But today, there are people who really are faithful people btw, who are claiming to be prophets, but not every time they prophecy, it’s 100% accurate 100% of the time.
And being a prophet means that God is completely using you to speak. So, if what you’re saying cannot be 100% accurate 100% of the time, you’re basically saying, when God speaks, that HE isn’t accurate 100% of the time… and that’s… faulty. Cause God cannot and does not lie or mislead us or provide us with 50% accuracy.
Hope that helps, God bless
There's a guy called prophet tb Joshua from Nigeria, his networth $10 million dollars
Excellent work sir!
You always speak the truth.
Good video but I find it very unlikely for there to be modern day prophets. We have the word of God through the Bible. God speaks to people in many ways and guides us through the Holy Spirit. I doubt God verbally speaks to people anymore. I also believe dreams aren’t enough to say it’s God giving you a message. I have had nightmares of demons and dreams of angels lifting me into the clouds. Show discernment and read your Bible, pray, and repent. Pray for wisdom maybe even pray for stronger faith. Many prosperity preachers or whatever you call them suck the ignorant people away from God and lead these people towards deception. Some claim God spoke to them but if anything spoke to them it makes me question if it’s divination, demons or maybe even the devil himself trying to sway others from God. Also I’d encourage others to pray for false teachers and their followers. That they will find true faith and preach God’s word in context. That God will show the blind his glory and that people understand the sacrifice Christ made for us. Not because we deserve it but because we are sinners and God has so much mercy and love.
There's a lot of prophet of the Lord still existing today. They are lowkey but they are walking around as if they are normal beings. They didn't want to expose themselves but the true spirit of the Lord within us could testify.
this is exactly the truth . true prophets never expose themselves its such a humble thing to see God is so good
Very well done
Spot on Allen!
Amos 3:7 Surely the Sovereign LORD does nothing without revealing his plan to his servants the prophets.
ksmb12, And God revealed that plan in Scripture, nowhere else do we get prophesy.
ksmb12 i said to GOD one day when i was cleaning out the freezer. I said" I feel smashed to pieces just like this ice LORD JESUS. .a few months later i had to move out of that place and went to a new town,,went to a church and possibly a prophet a total stranger to me in the church said to me " you feel like smashed up ice don't you "? oh my, ,i was shocked..he obviously heard from GOD and that was my confirmation. .he also said " GOD knows you love him and will heal and deliver you IF you cooperate with HIM...😃👑
scene seeka, lol! 😂😂😂 Your statement has nothing to do with prophesy! Lol! 😂😂😂
Ksmb12 please read Hebrews 1:1-3. Thanks
Emily Suan,
Hebrews 1:1 ¶ God, who at various times and in various ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
2 has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the worlds;
3 who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himselffn purged ourfn sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,
This says absolutely nothing about prophets for today.
Read Heb. 1:1-3. God spoke to the fathers by the prophets, now He speaks through His Son. Jesus is better than the fathers, prophets, and the angels. (or ANY created being!) Believer's have the Holy Spirit living within them. He will guide you into all truth. Sooo, what would be the purpose of a prophet, now???
Hey Sweet, so this is a difficult one because...the way the word prophesy is used in the NT it refers more to speaking the truth of God's word not so much FORETELLING. So, in a sense every preacher is a prophet because in its most basic sense, a prophet speaks for God. And preachers do this all the time. So, I think that is what I believe is the most popular use of the gift of prophecy today.
THE BEAT by Allen Parr, AGREED! Two thumbs up!!!
dont compare normal humans claiming about others..paul of tarsus is the one that destrojed the teachings of jesus was conveying to ppl..i recommend you to read your bible from start to end with a clear mind..you will find that jesus is nothing more then a messenger i,e messiah/prophet,,messiah means prophet..jesus newer claimed to be god or asked to be worshipped..rather he warns you to not call him/jesus lord,because there is only 1 god and jesus isnt that god or 3 in1 god..remember the first comandment..please read your bible and you will see that jesus was a prophet send for the lost sheep of israel,meaning sons of ishak and judah,those jews that lost their faith amongs those 12 tribes..
A prophet is a man or a creation from god that god has chosen,,not those you see pocketing millions by fooling ppl by using the teachings of paul.
08halit You are so misled and deceived. Jesus has many titles; EMANNUEL, PRINCE OF PEACE, LORD OF LORDS, KING OF KINGS, SAVIOR, SON OF GOD, SON OF MAN, I'm sure you get the picture. Oh by the way, you're probably familiar with Scripture but IF you need help in researching these names of THE CHRIST, Please do let me know. God bless to you.😊
I came here after feeling confused and a bit "off" about mandi from seek heavenly things. Think ill trust my intuition on this one. Thanks for the video.
Amen great video.
The comments were 666 so I had to ruin it :) God Bless
I love doing that!
Just did it today on Facebook lol
That's just a number, no reason to fear it especially if your a Christian
@@jaybelle1909 I know LOL I don’t fear anything only God himself
I have met a few legit ones. I myself have prophesied on more than one occasion with witnesses, and it came true exactly as the Spirit said it would.
Being a prophet is not about telling the future, but knowing eternity.
What do u think about alph lukau?
@@pauleazye5143 fake
@muddyfalcon..do u still prophesie?
Do u still prophesy?
Thanks. This video has aged like fine wine. Now, we have a modern voice that passes the tests you mentioned, Celestial of the Masters Voice. God bless you.
Great video.
Isaiah is a prophet,
Joel Ostein is a profit.
While the RCC has the huge profit. 😂😁😀
Just because someone prophecies something that does not come to pass does not necessarily mean they are a false prophet. Jeremiah 23 teaches some can speak or see from their own heart. IF they have a track record for prophecies coming to pass but once in a while make a mistake, that does not mean they are a false prophet, they just spoke from their flesh. Prophets are people too. Another thing is prophets today do not necessarily have to always give good news or encouragement. THe Holy Spirit can say whatever He wants, however He wants as we see in 1 Cor 12:5-7. Nobody can tell the Spirit how to speak and when. Prophets most definitely exist today. I often find many powerful ones in very small, Spanish churches for some reason...Extremely gifted. I know some prophets that have predicted people's deaths even the exact date they would be taken by God and it came to pass.
Cleveland Street Preachers and why don't those prophets help you Mr street preacher? Atheists would love to see evidence of God wouldn't they? Let me tell you something... No prophet can be from God if he rejects the Torah... Those prophets predicting things are probably just coincidence and nothing more...
Martin Luther was baffled that Jews still rejected Messiah.
Of course they would... If some guy tells that Messiah made away with the Law and Moses commands us all Israelites clearly :if any prophet commands you something different than the commands I am giving you today... He shall be stoned. God is testing you to see how much you Love Him....
So yeah... Those prophets are false! If they have some power to predict things for real they probably are just some anomaly... That's it.
That's why we've been rejecting Messiah... Because of deceivers like you who said that He taught against The Torah.. Thanks be To the God of Our Father Abraham that He opened our eyes to see past your lies... May God judge you severely for trying to seperate us from our Messiah! May you be judged for your crimes! Your sins are too great and many!may you be judged like Jezebel if you won't repent!
Yes it does mean that exactly. Prophecies of God always come true, if not then these are prophecies of men. False prophets.
Funny seeing you here Joe :)
@@ShayPatrickCormacTHEHUNTER THEY'RE A COINCIDENCE AND NOTHING MORE? What are you talking about! You need to repent you wicked blasphemer. That is the most foolish thing I've ever heard.
@@GrowingWarrior. Get lost you immature pagan. People like you were the reason for the Inquisition. You need to all be taken into death camps and brutally executed for all to see...
Great , great, great message Allen!!!!
Thanks Tamela!
Well said Min. Parr.
Ok let's get this right. There are no need for prophets today. Once the last verse of Revelation was written the holy scriptures were completed. All we can do now is propehsey (teach) or share what's been written. Even though I'm strictly a King James Bible person I'm going to share Hebrews (1) 1-2 in the English Standard Version. Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. Very simple. God use to speak through prophets. Now it's through Jesus. ( The written and living word.) The fulfillment of the messianic prophecies commenced with the advent of the Messiah. Since he came, it has been the last days. James (5) 3, 1 John (2)18. In the past God gave revelation to his prophets. Now God speaks the message of redemption through his Son. Who can supersede Christ. Just study for yourself the Holy Spirit will lead and guide us to all truth. Most followers of Jesus need to understand that the Apostles and prophets laid the foundation of the church. Even the prophets learned from the apostles. People want titles so bad in the body of Christ. Because the office of prophets and apostles are closed. They ceased with the completion of the New Testament. God bless. Brother Vinnie from New Jersey.
Your read Ephesians 6?
I’m pretty impressed by this video. It was not expecting it to go the way it did. I agree 100%. I have a prophetic calling and I know for fact that God ain’t having me charge no one and He makes me give hard corrective words 90% of the time and people HATE MEEEEEEEEEEEEE. It is well with my soul tho. Good video brother !
Great video
Good teaching sir 👍🏾
Great video! I was hoping for some examples of NT prophets too (maybe a future vid?). I think the example of "someone here has cancer" could be considered a Word of Knowledge, which is a spiritual gift (1 cor), but not necessarily a prophecy.
On point. 👍🏼
Well said Sir!!
Thanks Tammy!
Great message
Thanks Paul
