    Most prophecies today speak to greatness. "You will be a financier of the Kingdom!" "You will have a worldwide ministry!!" Not every prophecy in Scripture was affirming nor was every prophet popular.

    Beware of only listening to those who always affirm your decisions because the majority has often been wrong. Indeed, Jeremiah was outgunned 400-1. Four hundred prophets told the king everything he wanted to hear and prophesied victory. Then along came Jeremiah, who said the four hundred were ...read more
