Pray the word with David Platt is a resource from radical. net.

First Kings chapter 22 verse 12 and all the prophets prophesied so and said go up to Ramoth Gilead and triumph the Lord

will give it into the hand of the king. When you read this story in the context

around this verse you realize that these profits are false

profits they are prophesying lies they They're saying,

go up and take this land,

the Lord will give it into the hand of the king

when it's not true. This is a lying spirit

in the mouths of prophets.

And it is a keen reminder of something we see over and over again,

not just in the Old Testament,

but in the New Testament, as we are warned to watch out for false prophets.

Jesus says this.

Paul says this over and over again, watch out for false prophets. First John warns against this, teachers in the

church that are prophesying falsely that are not speaking the word of God, people who claim to be

representing God but are not proclaiming his truth. I want to encourage you to

let 1st Kings chapter 22 be a reminder to you to let 1st King's chapter 22 be a reminder to you to test everything

you hear by the word of God and when you are sitting in a church gathering when you are sitting in a church gathering, when you are sitting in a conference,

when you're reading a book, whenever you hear a message, always test it by the word of

God. Open the Bible, look at it for yourself,

and make sure that what you are hearing

aligns with God's word.
