=== Prophets and Accountability (01:23) ===

[00:00:00]  In the Prophet's Devotional, you state that the prophets are not above making mistakes.
[00:00:06]  I hate to have that said on our show, but we'll deal with it here.
[00:00:11]  How does correction, rebuke, and accountability help prophets grow individually and as a prophetic voice?
[00:00:20]  You know, I think true prophets don't make many misses, but any of us are capable because we are in flesh.
[00:00:28]  We are new creatures in Christ, but we still have emotions sometimes that are wounded.
[00:00:32]  You know, any of us can be deceived, unfortunately.
[00:00:35]  However, you know, when we have accountability around us, we have, you know, I've received words where they were heavy, weighty words.
[00:00:42]  And I knew that if I released it and I was wrong, I didn't think I was wrong, clearly didn't think I was wrong.
[00:00:46]  I knew if I released it and I was wrong, I was going to damage my credibility.
[00:00:50]  I may hurt people, scare people.
[00:00:53]  And so I've learned to lean on people like, you know, Cindy Jacobs or James Gall.
[00:00:58]  We have the Apostolic Council of Prophetic Elders where we meet every November and we submit these things for testing.
[00:01:04]  You know, the Bible says test the spirits to see if they are from God.
[00:01:07]  And I believe if we would be, you know, ones who judge our own words and process our own prophetic revelations before we release them, then we're really on safe ground.
[00:01:18]  But some words don't need to be released so quickly.
[00:01:21]  Some words need to be bathed in prayer before they're ever released.
