What the Bible Says About Prophecy (and Why It Still Matters)

The Holy Spirit Tells Us What’s Coming

In John 16:13, Jesus tells us that when the Holy Spirit comes, He will guide us into all truth—and He will tell us what’s to come. That means the Holy Spirit still speaks. He’s not just for comfort or correction; He wants to reveal things about the future so we can be prepared.

"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future." -John 16:13 (NLT)

This isn’t some fringe theology. It’s foundational to what Jesus promised. The Holy Spirit leads us into all truth and tells us what’s coming. That’s prophecy.

Prophecy Is for Everyone

"‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike—and they will prophesy.’" -Acts 2:17–18 (NLT)

That’s not just for pastors or prophets—it’s for all of us. Sons. Daughters. Men. Women. Young. Old.

Somehow, we’ve made prophecy seem weird, or only for certain “types” of people. But Romans 12:6 makes it clear—if you have the gift, use it. In proportion to your faith.

"In his grace, God has given us different gifts for doing certain things well. So if God has given you the ability to prophesy, speak out with as much faith as God has given you." -Romans 12:6 (NLT)

And guess what? That means you can grow in it.

Don’t Scoff at Prophecy—Test It

"Do not stifle the Holy Spirit. Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Stay away from every kind of evil." -1 Thessalonians 5:19–22 (NLT)

It’s okay to test a prophecy. But don’t scoff. That means don’t mock it, don’t write it off as weird, and don’t assume it’s fake. Test it against Scripture. Measure it by the fruit it produces. But don’t despise it—because that can close you off from what God wants to say to you and through you.

I used to scoff. I used to think prophecy was for the dramatic and overly emotional. But over time, God humbled me. I went from resisting prophecy to walking in it. I’m even married to a prophet. I’m so thankful God changed my heart, because if I had stayed in that place of resistance, I would have shut down what God wanted to do in my home and my life.

Prophecy Is a Gift to Help Others

The Holy Spirit tells us what’s to come because God doesn’t want us to be caught off guard. When turbulence comes—whether that’s national, personal, or spiritual—we’re supposed to be the calm in the storm.

Think about Noah. Think about Sodom and Gomorrah. God didn’t surprise them. He warned them. He always gives us a heads-up.

When you know something’s coming, you don’t panic—you lead. And that’s why prophecy matters. It’s not just about knowing the future for your own sake. It’s about being the person others turn to when the storm hits.

What the Lord Is Saying Right Now

We’ve had multiple prophetic words recently, and when you piece them together, a clear message comes through: turbulence is coming, but God is raising up a standard. A forceful move of believers. A wildfire of truth and authority sweeping through the land.

Beth prophesied that the Lord is clearing the chessboard. That He’s about to do something only He can do. That turbulence is pushing people off the fence—not because He wants to destroy them, but because He’s giving them a chance to choose.

And that’s the difference. He’s not forcing decisions—He’s creating conditions where people must choose. And when they fall, they chose it. But when they rise, He’s setting them on a firm foundation.

Dreams, Markers, and the Timing of God

We don’t always know when a prophecy will unfold. But God often includes time markers to help us recognize when the moment has arrived. He did this for me through a dream, where a cousin I hadn’t seen in nearly a decade appeared—and then she showed up at my house in real life. That moment helped me realize: the time is now.

Another dream showed the rapid shift from normalcy to chaos—from 100 degrees to snow in one hour. And it wasn’t just about natural weather. It was about a spiritual storm. The flood and the glory are coming at the same time.

And the standard the Lord is raising up? That’s us.

We Are the Standard

"When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him." -Isaiah 59:19 (NKJV)

And in a dream, God showed me that we are that standard. As long as we stay in the Spirit—symbolized by my white truck—we’ll be lifted above the chaos.

The Spirit is the vehicle that enables us to rise. But we have to let go of control. We have to resist in the Spirit, not in the flesh. Everyone else was bracing themselves with their hands—flesh—but we stayed in the vehicle of the Spirit and were carried safely through.

The Time Is Now

This is why I’ve been shouting from the rooftops—warning, warning, warning. Not because I want to be dramatic, but because I know what’s coming. And when it happens, I don’t want people to say they didn’t know who to turn to.

They’ll remember the crazy guy who kept talking about turbulence. They’ll remember the weird church. And when they come, they’ll find a firm foundation waiting for them.

This is the legacy of No Limits Church—a people who share the glory of God. A place where people can step into His presence and be changed.

"You are the standard I am raising up." -(Prophetic Word, Feb 13, 2025)
