Are you prophesying out of your own desires or are you speaking on behalf of the Lord as He Wills?

1 Kings 22:22 "The Lord said to him, By what means? And he said, I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets. [The Lord] said, You shall entice him and succeed also. Go forth and do it."

1 Kings 22:6(AMP) Then [Ahab] king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about 400 men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I hold back? And they said, Go up, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.

1 Kings 22:19-22(AMP)And Micaiah said, Hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right hand and on His left.20And the Lord said, Who will entice Ahab to go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? One said this way, another said that way.21Then there came forth a spirit [of whom I am about to tell] and stood before the Lord and said, I will entice him.22The Lord said to him, By what means? And he said, I will go forth and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets. [The Lord] said, You shall entice him and succeed also. Go forth and do it.

Ahab was the king of Israel and the 400 prophets were Israelites. They were God's people. Out of 400, only a lone voice actually spoke the Lord's Will. The others spoke what the king wanted to hear.

Even Christians today want to hear something so bad, they will look for those who speak their "language." And even today's prophets who want to speak and prophecy something so bad out of their own will and desire will utimately be given that opportunity. Whatever is hidden deep inside your heart that supersedes God's Will will be drawn out. Becareful not to add or take away.

Many Christians hate their government leaders so bad, they would want them to be the Anti Christ so they can justify hating him. Many Christians want to leave their painful situations and circumstances so bad, they want a date to be raptured.

Regardless of what Ahab heard, he was bent on going to Ramoth gilead to war. The 400 prophets prophecy to his favor because they were more interested in pleasing the king. Otherwise, the other alternative was to be thrown in jail with Micaiah.

Nothing has changed for there is nothing new under that sun. Are you speaking not to offend or will you speak uncompromised Truth even if you are the lone voice?
