The guidelines are for the most part really no different from what they are for anything else that people say or do.
First, does God’s Word support it, or possibly even prohibit it? For example, the times when some professing Christians leaders have claimed to know the precise time of the Lord’s return. Prohibited by Scripture.
But there is a limitless supply of things God might tell people, so we need to seek discernment from Him on how we’re to receive it. As it says in James, God will give us that wisdom whenever we seek it. We might not actually know for sure in this life if someone is speaking from God or just from self, but we will learn from Him how to receive what was said.
That's wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
