Is the Prophetic Still Valid Today?
Questions about prophecy deserve more than emotional arguments, inherited assumptions, or fear. This teaching examines what Scripture says about prophecy and the ongoing ministry of the Holy Spirit.
Test prophetic ministry without dismissing what Scripture teaches.
Brian Fenimore presents a biblical apologetic for the prophetic, addressing common objections and misconceptions with Scripture rather than hype or church tradition.
The goal is clarity and balance: believers should neither accept every claim uncritically nor reject prophetic ministry without examining the biblical witness.
Begin with Scripture
Let the Bible define prophecy and its purpose instead of reacting only to good or bad experiences.
Test what is spoken
Biblical discernment weighs prophetic words rather than accepting them automatically.
Keep Jesus central
Healthy prophetic ministry serves people and directs attention toward Christ, not the reputation of a minister.
Grow in biblical, accountable prophetic ministry
Explore training that joins Scripture, discernment, character, and dependence on the Holy Spirit.
Questions about prophecy today
Does the Bible tell Christians to test prophecy?
Yes. First Thessalonians 5:21 instructs believers to test everything and hold fast to what is good.
Is questioning a prophetic word a lack of faith?
No. Biblical discernment includes weighing what is spoken against Scripture, the character of Jesus, and wise accountability.
Should bad experiences cause Christians to reject all prophecy?
Bad experiences should lead to careful testing and correction, but the biblical question still must be answered from Scripture.
What marks healthy prophetic ministry?
It is Christ-centered, scripturally grounded, humble, accountable, and aimed at serving rather than controlling people.
