Prophesy is a gift from God that all the church should desire. It would be wonderful to see more people speak as they are led by the Holy Spirit.

I declare that there is a heaven and there is a hell. All those in heaven are in paradise with the Lord. All those in hell are suffering in fire and brimstone.
To follow any one but Christ alone leads to death. Our eyes must be opened to the Lord lest we fall into dark paths that don’t bear light.
In our day, there are many false prophets. They come as godly men but “but inwardly they are ravenous wolves”.
