THE THOUGHT OF MAN IS NOT PROPHETIC.
Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, “Behold now, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably.” But Micaiah said, “As the LORD lives, what the LORD says to me, that I shall speak.” I Kings 22: 13-14
Are you trying to know God’s will by living against God? Do you think it is possible? Previously, the city Ramoth-gilead belonged to the king of Israel. And the king of Syria took the city. The king of Israel intended it to reclaim the town Ramoth-gilead. For this he consulted Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. Jehoshaphat agreed. But the king of Israel wanted to know the divine will for him to go. He had many prophets there. But there is a spirit of falsehood in their mouths. They all prophesied in his favor. But he was not satisfied. False prophecies do not satisfy our heart. Do not think that you have God’s will for you who live against God.
He spoke to Micaiah, the true prophet of God. This prophet warned the King of Israel. He explained God’s intentions. But the King of Israel did not listen to his voice. He took his purpose as important. Even when he lived against God, God told him things would happen. This is God’s love. Don’t ever try to go against God’s will. You cannot turn your intentions into God’s purposes. Going far away from the will of God, you will have no purpose except to lose. The king of Israel was defeated in battle. He lost his life. God’s words are fulfilled.
The true prophet speaks the word of God. He does not speak according to people. He says what the Lord says. He is not afraid of men. He is not afraid of kings or bosses. He fears only God. The word of God says as it is. Micaiah is a true prophet of God.
It is written- Then the messenger who went to summon Micaiah spoke to him saying, “Behold now, the words of the prophets are uniformly favorable to the king. Please let your word be like the word of one of them, and speak favorably. The prophet speaks of divine inspiration but the thought of man is not prophetic. How man’s thoughts become prophecies? God’s people should notice this. Many take it all as prophecy. Beware. If the messenger says what the prophet has to speak, where is God’s inspiration? Is it prophecy? This is what is happening today. Whose words are you listening to?
Therefore, remember:
- Do not think that you have God’s will for you who live against God.
- Don’t ever try to go against God’s will.
- The true prophet speaks the word of God.
- The prophet speaks of divine inspiration but the thought of man is not prophetic.
