Listen "The Dangers of Prophecy Continued (Part 3) | Pastor Alex Pappas"
Episode Synopsis
Prophecy is a powerful gift from God, but it comes with real dangers if we don’t handle it wisely. In this message, we look at how to embrace the prophetic while avoiding the traps of misinterpretation, over-dependency, and neglecting to test what we hear.
Key Points Covered in This Teaching:
Misinterpreting true prophecy: Why even accurate words can be misunderstood (Acts 20–21).
Over-dependency: The danger of chasing prophetic words instead of pursuing a daily relationship with God.
Testing prophecy: Three biblical tests every word must pass (1 Thessalonians 5:20). Proper prophecy should reveal the heart and lead to worship (1 Corinthians 14).
The goal is balance — embracing the prophetic while exercising wisdom, humility, and love. True prophecy will always point us closer to Jesus, not to selfish ambition.
Scriptures referenced: Acts 20–21
1 Thessalonians 5:20
John 16:13
1 Corinthians 14
