Summary:

Can a prophet be a woman? Consider Deborah in Judges 4

How can one tell if another is a prophet or not? Try or prove them.

Next to their relationship with the Lord is the compassion for the

people they carry in their hearts.

Show Notes:

• First and foremost a prophet has a close relationship with the

Lord, knows His voice and spends most of their time in His

presence.

• A true prophet hears and speaks only what the Lord says to them.

• The prophet carries the presence of the Lord with them.

References:

1 John 4:1 KJV

Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they

are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the

world.

Ephesians 4:11 NASB

And He gave some as apostles, some as prophets,

some as evangelists, some as pastors and teachers,

Judges chapters 4 and 5

The story and song of Deborah

1 Samuel 16:7 ISV

The LORD told Samuel, "Don't look at his appearance or his

height, for I've rejected him. Truly, God does not see what man

sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD

sees the heart."

Quotes:

• Do they really care about the people?

• He is imparting the heart of the Father

• The prophet sees what natural people do not see

• He can’t help but change everybody just because of who he is.

Take Away:

Try and prove those who say they are prophets; do they care for the

people? Is there compassion? You will know them by their fruits.
