10 Tough Questions About Prophecy Answered!
We're tackling some of the biggest (and most controversial!) questions about prophecy, hearing God's voice, and spiritual discernment with Trish Warren and Murray Dueck of Samuel's Mantle Prophetic School!
10 Questions We Tackle in This Episode:
Can EVERY Christian prophesy, or is the gift of prophecy reserved for certain believers?

Do we still need prophets today, now that we have the Bible and the Holy Spirit?
How can you tell if a prophetic word is actually from God?
Can a prophetic word be accurate but come from the WRONG spirit?
What should you do when someone prophesies something terrible over your life?
Can a prophecy fail because YOU didn't do your part?
Can you prophesy over yourself, or does prophetic revelation have to come through someone else?
Can God speak through someone who's living in sin? Does a minister's moral failure invalidate their prophetic words?
What are the biggest RED FLAGS of a false prophet?
About This Episode
Prophecy can be one of the most misunderstood spiritual gifts in the Church. Some Christians have been taught that prophecy ended with the apostles. Others have witnessed prophetic ministry firsthand but still have serious questions about accuracy, accountability, and how to recognize God's voice.
So what does the Bible actually teach?
I'm joined by my friends Trish Warren and Murray Dewick, who have decades of experience training Christians to hear God's voice and grow in prophetic ministry through Samuel's Mantle Prophetic School.
We dig into the questions that don't always get easy answers, including whether Christians should accept every prophetic word, how to recognize manipulation in prophetic ministry, and what happens when a prophecy doesn't come to pass.
We also share real-life stories of prophetic encounters, including a remarkable experience in a coffee shop that ultimately led people to Jesus!
Whether you're brand-new to the prophetic, questioning something you've experienced, or wanting to grow in biblical discernment, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.
