Trust in the Lord, Trust in His Prophets

Trust in the Lord, Trust in His Prophets

Trust in the Lord, Trust in His Prophets Old Testament scripture instructs that we are to “Trust in the Lord your God and you will be established. Put your trust in His prophets and succeed.” Many believers would ask how does this verse apply to me today? This question certainly deserves an answer, one based on God’s Word and not just the opinion of man.

This study will examine the role of the prophet in both the Old and New Covenants. We will see how men in the Old Covenant looked primarily to the prophet for direction from God. Yet we today have the leading of the Holy Spirit, who dwells in us. Also, the prophet is listed in the fivefold ministry gift, so what is their role in our covenant? Are we to put our trust in them as Jehoshaphat instructed?

These are but a few of the questions that will be addressed as we examine the role of the prophetic in our lives as disciples of Jesus Christ.

01-Words from the Mind of God

Simply stated we could define prophecy as “Words from the Mind of God.”

How do these words come from God to man?
How are they to be received?
How do we know if they are truly from God’s heart?
Am I to believe and act on them?

All of these are valid questions that will be dealt with in our first session. We will study God’s instruction to the children of Israel to both trust in Him and His prophets. This study will then examine the prophetic in the New Testament to ascertain our response in this era of the church.
