Prophecy

Then He said, 'Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the Lord, make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.'

I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him.

When a prophet speaks in the name of the Lord, if the thing does not happen or come to pass, that is the thing which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously; you shall not be afraid of him.

So Samuel grew, and the Lord was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times things that are not yet done, saying, 'My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure.'

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.

'Is not My word like a fire?' says the Lord, 'and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?'

Again He said to me, 'Prophesy to these bones, and say to them, O dry bones, hear the word of the Lord!'

Surely the Lord God does nothing, unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

And it shall come to pass afterward that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.

Now his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Spirit, and prophesied, saying...

However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.

'And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, that I will pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall dream dreams.'

Now this man had four virgin daughters who prophesied.

Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, let us prophesy in proportion to our faith.

But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

Pursue love, and desire spiritual gifts, but especially that you may prophesy.

For you can all prophesy one by one, that all may learn and all may be encouraged.

And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.

Do not despise prophecies. Test all things; hold fast what is good.

Knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

And I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, 'See that you do not do that! I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.'
