7 Simple Ways to Test Prophecy!

When someone shares a prophetic word, how do you know it’s really from God? Joshua Lewis explores one of the most important—and often misunderstood—topics in the charismatic world: how to test prophecy biblically.

Too often, Christians fall into the trap of either uncritically embracing any “prophetic word” or cynically rejecting genuine words from the Lord. But Scripture commands us to “test everything; hold fast what is good” (1 Thessalonians 5:21).

In this video, Joshua unpacks:
✅ Why testing prophecy is essential for a healthy church
✅ Key biblical criteria for discerning true prophecy from deception
✅ Common errors in modern prophetic practices, including syncretism, numerology, and “fortune cookie” prophecies
✅ The role of spiritual community and accountability in weighing prophecy
✅ How prophetic words should always align with Scripture, the character of God, and the historic Christian faith

Whether you’re a pastor, a prophetic minister, or a believer navigating today’s prophetic movements, this episode will equip you with solid biblical tools to discern what is truly from the Spirit of God.
