Supernatural Theology 18: Rules for Prophetic Discernment

Eagerly desire gifts of the Spirit, especially prophecy. –1 Corinthians 14:1

In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. –Acts 2:17

Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. –1 John 4:1
